The Ice Man Cometh — Borderlands 2 Game of the Year eGuide

Mission Briefing

The bandits out in Three Horns Divide have been harassing travelers for years. Thankfully, Claptrap has a plan: if you can shut down all of the bandit’s furnaces, Claptrap believes the bandits will get so cold that they’ll have to run indoors just to avoid freezing to death.

Availability: Happy Pig Bounty Board after “Rising Action.” Must have completed “No Vacancy” optional mission.

Three Horn Divide

Swing by the Happy Pig Bounty Board on your way to The Fridge at the end of “Rising Action” to accept this mission. Collect the dynamite that Claptrap has positioned nearby, then turn and drive to Three Horns Divide via the northern transition. Once in Three Horns Divide, turn hard to the right and drive through the narrow cave to the entrance to The Drydocks area.

Claptrap wants you to place the dynamite on five furnaces scattered throughout The Drydocks. The first is just inside the enemy base, on the right-hand side, and can be reached quite easily. The others are split more or less into pairs. The deeper you advance into The Drydocks, the more Marauders and Nomads you’ll encounter, so stick close to the entrance and kill as many as you can from the relative safety of the area—at least you can’t be surrounded near the entrance!

Make your way to the perimeter on the left-hand side and continue to set the Marauders on fire with your guns and grenades. Climb the stairs to reach the upper furnace, then drop to the north side of this building to find the third on ground level. The other two furnaces are located on the northeast building, just beyond the large anchor in the center of the area. One is all the way up multiple flights of stairs on the uppermost level and is right near a valuable treasure chest. Don’t miss it!

Rig the five furnaces, then approach the anchor in the center of the area and activate the transmitter that Claptrap arranged to be there—bandits are so dumb. Switch to a fast Fire-based weapon if one’s available, and ready yourself for eight Freezing Psychos that attack. These enemies are quite similar to your typical Psychos, only they’re a bit colder. They’ll charge your position in the center of the base in a relatively steady stream, but not all at once. Aim for their legs if they start to get too close to at least knock them to the ground. Set them on fire to quickly kill them, then drive back to the Happy Pig Bounty Board for your reward—and one more pun.
