Rakkaholics Anonymous — Borderlands 2 Game of the Year eGuide

Mission Briefing

Given what happened to Bloodwing, Mordecai wants to get superbly drunk. He has, quite simply, asked you to get him enough booze to knock out a rakk hive. You can steal some rakk ale from the booze runners in The Dust.

Availability: Talk to Mordecai at Sanctuary after “Wildlife Preservation.”

The Dust

Fast Travel to The Dust and get yourself a vehicle from the Catch-a-Ride at Ellie’s Garage. Any vehicle works, but a Bandit Technical with a catapult is particularly suitable for this mission. Head out across the sands in search of the Moonshiner and its Bandit Stinger escorts. Ignore the escorts as long as you can (at your own risk, of course), and fling Explosive barrels and bullets at the Moonshiner truck. With every bit of heavy damage you inflict, another barrel of rakk ale falls off the back of the truck.

The Moonshiner more or less drives a loop around the perimeter of The Dust, so you have plenty of time to relieve it of its tasty beverage. The barrels of rakk ale roll a bit once they hit the ground, but their location gets marked on the minimap just as the Moonshiner’s is. Drive over the barrels to pick them up.

Fling those explosive barrels at the Moonshiner and drive over the kegs that fall off his truck.

Though Mordecai had asked you to go on this mission for him, Moxxi ECHOs to you that she would like to have the rakk ale, too. The choice is yours: Mordecai will offer you a sniper rifle, while Moxxi will give you a pistol.
