Navigating the sun-scorched wastes in Borderlands 2: Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate's Booty leads Vault Hunters to various action-packed side bounty missions. Among the most straightforward yet rewarding optional quests is Just Desserts For Desert Deserters, given by Captain Scarlett. This guide details how to track down all three targets efficiently across different regions.
Starting the Mission and Targeting Benny the Booster
To begin this quest, accept it from the bounty board or directly from Captain Scarlett in the DLC campaign. Your primary objective involves hunting down three former crew members who deserted their posts. The first traitor, Benny the Booster, can be located in the region of Oasis.
Head to Benny's designated camp in Oasis while keeping a vehicle nearby for quick mobility. Approach his base carefully, as surrounding enemies will spawn to defend him. Engage Benny with shock or fire weapons to rapidly deplete his defenses and eliminate him.
Infiltrating Hayter's Folly to Eliminate Deckhand
With your first target handled, travel to Hayter's Folly to track down Deckhand. This cavernous area features tight corridors packed with hostile sand worms and pirate lackeys. Battle your way through the narrow passages until you reach the settlement area where Deckhand takes cover.
Deckhand relies heavily on cover and surrounding allies to keep you at range. Close the distance using high-damage shotguns or splash damage weapons to force him out of hiding. Once defeated, clean up remaining threats before preparing for your final destination.
Confronting Terry the Toothless in the Rustyards
The final deserter, Terry the Toothless, resides deep within the Rustyards. This maze of scrap metal and elevated walkways requires methodical movement to avoid getting cornered by bandits. Follow the objective marker toward the far end of the shipyard docks.
Terry will attempt to keep high ground while firing at you from above. Utilize long-range rifles or homing grenades to flush him out and finish the hit list. Players looking for additional tips can check the for extra quest strategies and loot breakdowns.
Claiming Your Quest Rewards
After eliminating all three deserters, open your map to verify that all mission objectives are checked. Return to the quest provider or bounty board to officially hand in the mission. You will be rewarded with substantial experience points and in-game currency for securing Scarlett's authority.
