In Borderlands 4, players encounter a variety of optional bosses, each offering unique challenges and rewards. Among these formidable foes is Genone, a first-generation Order Synth Unit, who presents a significant challenge and the opportunity to obtain impressive legendary items.
In this guide, we will delve into how to locate Genone in Borderlands 4 and the valuable loot you can expect from this encounter.
Locating Genone in Borderlands 4

You can find Genone below an area known as The Yawning Yard, located in the Lopside region of Carcadia Burn. To access this boss, you will need to enter the former Order facility located beneath The Yawning Yard by using the entrance situated on the cliffside’s western edge, as indicated in the map above.
Genone serves as the final boss in the mission titled “Fault Hunting.”This mission can be initiated by interacting with the bulletin board in Carcadia (assuming you have restored power to the area) or by speaking with Leopold at the Society for Amateur Seismology Enthusiasts.
Once you begin the quest, you’ll be guided to the facility where Genone awaits your challenge. This mission also leads you near some Carcadia Burn Vault Key Fragments.
Upon defeating Genone, you’ll have the option to use Moxxi’s Big Encore machine located at the battle’s entrance, allowing you to replay the boss fight for further loot farming opportunities.
Loot and Rewards from Genone

While Genone may not boast an extensive array of dedicated drops like some other bosses in Borderlands 4, he does drop one of the game’s most powerful weapons: the Oscar Mike. This weapon is known for its devastating space laser capabilities.

Strategies for Defeating Genone

Confronting Genone is manageable with the right strategies. Upon entering the battle arena, expect Genone to emerge from the central tube. He possesses two health bars—one representing shields and the other armor—which indicates your need for shock and corrosive weapons during the fight.
Throughout the battle, Genone will maneuver around the arena, primarily utilizing corrosive attacks.Avoid using armor shields; they will be vulnerable to his corrosive methods.
If you find yourself downed during the encounter, you can regain a second wind by eliminating one of the many synths that appear alongside Genone. Overall, Genone is relatively weak and can be defeated quickly with the appropriate elemental weaponry.
