About

Once the area's cleared, start searching for Borderlands 4 Boosting the missing drone pieces. There are three possible locations scattered around the encampment, each hidden in what looks like eridium-corrupted remains.

Drone Part Location 1

Head to the left of the fortress entrance. You'll spot an eridium-coated corpse against a rock. Hit it with a melee attack to shatter it - but no luck, the part isn't here.

Drone Part Location 2

Next, go straight ahead from the entrance toward the base of the central tower. Another eridium corpse rests near one of the supporting pillars. Melee it to reveal... still nothing.

Drone Part Location 3

As you might guess, the final drone part is at the top of the tall central tower. Use the stairwells and grapple points that spiral around the tower to climb up. At the summit, you'll find one last eridium corpse. Smash it open - and finally, you'll recover the missing drone part Zane was after.

Pro Tip: Before leaving, open the Electi safe nearby for some extra loot and Eridium.

Step 3: Return the Drone Part to Zane

With the part in hand, fast travel back to Moxxi's Bottoms Up Bar. Speak with Zane in the back room again and hand him the recovered drone piece. He'll thank you in his usual dry tone, then ask one more favor: contact Levaine to arrange a meet-up so he can deliver the gift personally.

You make the call, but Levaine quickly figures out what's happening. She sounds amused - and maybe a little touched - before asking you to scout and clear the rendezvous point up north.

Step 4: Clear Out Hull's Handbasket

Your next stop is Hull's Handbasket, a romantic (and very dangerous) outpost far north of the Fadefields. Unfortunately, there's no nearby fast travel station, so hop into a vehicle and start the long drive.

When you arrive, the place is crawling with Rippers. Wipe them out to make the area safe for Zane and Levaine's big moment. Once the last enemy drops, the mission objective cheekily updates: "Leave before it gets gross."

Take the hint and exit the area - but before you can get far, Levaine pings you again. She's discovered that Zane's planning a gift for her and wants to return the favor. Guess who she asks to find something "passable" for him? That's right - you.

Step 5: Find a Gift for Zane

Open your map to locate the Zane gift site, just a short distance east of Hull's Handbasket. Travel there and brace for more Rippers, because apparently every romantic errand on Pandora comes with a body count.

Cut through the enemies, and look for a platform on the left side of the encampment. On top of a ruined vehicle, you'll spot an item labeled "A Passable Gift." Pick it up - this will serve as Levaine's somewhat half-hearted token of appreciation.

Step 6: Return to Hull's Handbasket (Again)

Just when you think it's over, you receive another call from Levaine. Things have gone sideways - again. She and Zane are pinned down by more Rippers at Hull's Handbasket. Head back there and help them fend off the waves of attackers.

The banter between Zane and Levaine during the fight is peak Borderlands - equal parts flirtation and frustration. Stay focused, clear the enemies, and prepare for one last task.

Step 7: Free Zane and Levaine

After the final wave, your objective updates: Find Zane and Levaine. They're trapped in a room on a collapsed crane structure above the battlefield.

Climb the wreckage, follow the path to the left, and you'll find a locked door controlled by a nearby console. Have ECHO-4 hack the terminal to open it. Zane and Levaine will step out, still bickering - because of course they are.

Zane thanks you for the rescue, though his attention quickly returns to fixing the broken drone he'd planned to give Levaine. Despite his earlier plans to leave Kairos, he now insists on staying until it's repaired properly - proving once again that even the galaxy's coolest assassin can get sentimental.

Step 8: Mission Complete and Rewards

Once the conversation ends, the mission concludes automatically. You'll receive:

XP (scales to your level)

Borderlands 4 Money for your efforts

Eridium to spend on cosmetics or upgrades

Final Thoughts

Broken Ships is a charming and chaotic farewell quest that highlights Zane's softer side - without ever losing that trademark Borderlands absurdity. Between waves of Rippers, sarcastic radio chatter, and a surprisingly sweet ending, it's one of the more character-driven side missions in Borderlands 4 Boost the game.
