Borderlands 2 Game of the Year Guide › Optional Missions

Neither Rain nor Sleet nor Skags

Mission Briefing

The Pandora Postal Service, owned and operated by one Lance Scapelli, is in need of a new courier after the previous one was crippled by the Bloodshot clan. Scapelli has hired you to deliver packages to various mailboxes scattered around Three Horns within a certain amount of time.

Availability: Happy Pig Bounty Board in Three Horns Valley after “No Vacancy.”

Unlocks: —

Mission Reward: Happy Pig Bounty Board

The first mailbox is right near the steps leading out onto the waterside village. Park next to it, deliver the mail, then run up the steps.

The second mailbox is directly above and to the left of the first. Climb the steps and turn and leap onto the rocks to the left. Run along the rocks, jump onto the narrow ledge near the house, and move to the front-right corner of the house. Carefully vault around the corner of the house to the deck near the mailbox.

Leap off the deck onto the main dock down below on the right and head out to the farthest house, located to the right of the distant boat. Use your Action Skill to get through the numerous enemies along this path.

You’ll make or break the run on the fourth mailbox. Leap into the water and sprint through the water to the next dock. Jump up out of the water in the middle of the dock and race up the stairs to the second level. Find the mailbox at the end of this deck, straight ahead on the left.

Face the edge nearest the fourth mailbox and drop straight down onto the floating dock below. Run left along this dock, then turn right and head up and over the bridge to the next series of houses. The final mailbox is in front of the house to the far left.

Three Horns Valley

This mission is the first of a select few timed delivery missions you’ll get to experience. Though it can be quite challenging if you don’t know where you’re going, get tied up in combat, or simply fall off the elevated walkways, the accompanying map contains a route proven to get you to the finish with plenty of time left on the clock. That said, it’s important to prepare for the mission before picking up the packages and starting the timer. Ready a Light Runner and park it facing south near the Happy Pig Motel, as close to the packages as possible. Secondly, equip a powerful Fire weapon and have plenty of ammo for it. You’re going to want to spend as little time in combat as possible, but having a Fire weapon is a significant advantage.

Once ready to begin, climb the ladder on the back of the bus and pick up the packages to start the timer. You have 1:30 to deliver all five packages, but you receive an additional 0:15 for each package you deliver. Sprint to the Light Runner and use its turbo boost to drive due south toward Split Skull Bay. Don’t hesitate to leap off the cliff to the right of the pumping station! Head straight for the house closest to land and park the Light Runner directly next to the first green-glowing mailbox.
