Among the exciting challenges available, the Ripper Drill Sites stand out. These combat arenas resemble the slaughter zones familiar to fans of previous installments, where players are put to the test against hordes of enemies, culminating in a showdown with a formidable boss.
Let’s explore the different Ripper Drill Sites in Borderlands 4 and unveil the treasures they hold.
The Pitted Stain
Idolator’s Noose – The Fadefields
The first Ripper Drill Site is known as The Pitted Stain, situated in the southwestern area of Idolator’s Noose, located within The Fadefields.To reach this site, follow a road leading south from a point called Racketrun, then drop off the cliff to land directly in the Drill Site.
Upon clearing waves of enemies, prepare for an encounter with the Foundry Freaks boss — a multitiered challenge that will test your combat skills.
The Prospects
Hungering Pain – The Fadefields
Next on our list is The Prospects Ripper Drill Site, located in the upper region of Hungering Pain in The Fadefields. Specifically, you will find this site east of Horace’s Oversight and northeast of The Flarewell.
A recommended route involves following the roads southeast of The Launchpad and then veering north past The Flarewell. This path leads you conveniently to The Prospects.
Once the area is cleared, your final challenge is Sidney Pointylegs, who is capable of dropping the coveted Noisy Cricket weapon.
Saw’s Clench
Ruined Sumplands – Carcadia Burn
In Carcadia Burn, the first facility to explore is Saw’s Clench, positioned in the northern part of the Ruined Sumplands.This site is nestled amongst cliffs north of the Judgement’s Lapse Order Silo.
A straightforward way to access it is by fast traveling to the Wildhorn’s Beard Safehouse and moving southwest. The roads will guide you around the cliffs directly to the Drill Site, where you’ll have to face the Rippa Roadbirds boss after clearing the enemies.
Tendercage
Lopside – Carcadia Burn
The next site in Carcadia Burn is Tendercage, situated in the northeast part of the Lopside section, bordering the Grindstone of the Worthy area.
This location is easily accessible via the rails leading to Dominion City, as it lies right under them just outside the city limits. For a more efficient journey, fast travel to the Makeshift Chalet Safehouse and head east.
Prepare to confront Pango Bango, as you’ll be facing two bosses simultaneously after defeating the enemies in this zone.
The Old Scrape
Cuspid Climb – Terminus Range
In Terminus Range, home to the Augur Mines, you can discover two Ripper Drill Sites. The first of these is The Old Scrape, located in the southeast quarter of the Cuspid Climb sector.
You can effortlessly reach this site by traveling south from The Reliquary Order Silo to the boundary of the Cuspid Climb area, where the Drill Site is nestled within a distinctive bone landscape visible on the map.
After dispatching the enemies, your challenge culminates with the Meathead Riders boss encounter.
The Lowering March
Stoneblood Forest – Terminus Range
The final Ripper Drill Site is The Lowering March, situated centrally in the Stoneblood Forest area of Terminus Range.To reach this location easily, I suggest fast traveling to the Snowy Wells Safehouse and heading north.
If you have upgraded your glider, you can glide almost directly from the Safehouse to the Drill Site. After clearing out the area, prepare to face the imposing Battle Wagon, a massive enemy accompanied by Rippers.
