Arid Nexus Boneyard

Approach the Hyperion Truth Network, and ride the lift up to the studio where Hunter Hellquist awaits.

It’s time to take care of the miscreant who’s been spreading all of those unfounded rumors about the Crimson Raiders and (more importantly) the good work you’ve been doing for the people of Sanctuary. Head to Arid Nexus Boneyard, either by Fast Travel or by driving there from Eridium Blight, and set out on a due east trajectory across the wastes.

The Hyperion Truth Network lies just a short distance from the entrance to the Arid Nexus Boneyard. That’s where you’ll find Hunter Hellquist, the DJ responsible for those ludicrous remarks being spread around Sanctuary. Ride the elevator up to the recording studio and immediately open fire on Hunter Hellquist (feel free to listen to the ECHO Recorder on the studio desk while you’re there). He’ll likely flee to the sands below, where one or two ION Loaders may come to his aid. Hunter Hellquist has a substantial shield and attacks much like an Engineer. Fortunately, he’s vulnerable to Corrosive attacks, as well as heavy explosives. Drain his shields with Shock weapons if you have them; otherwise, unload on him with your most powerful weaponry. Ignore any Loaders that are present until after you’ve dealt with the DJ.

Dead Air

DJ Hunter Hellquist has a portable radio strapped to his back that can be interacted with like any of the other radios you’ve no doubt seen around Pandora. Earn this Challenge by running up behind Hunter Hellquist and pressing the Cycle Weapon button to turn the radio off. Turn the radio off before killing Hunter Hellquist to complete this Challenge.
