Starting Location: PowerDrop
This side mission appears in the underground bunker at The Launchpad faction town, next to the fast travel station. It’s available any time after Main Mission 6: Rush the Gate. Talk to the guy under the neon sign that says “OPEN”.
Purchase a power core
To the left of the quest giver, go halfway down the stairs and interact with the green button to buy a Powercore for $500.
Throw in power core
Pick up the power core and throw it through the top of the yellow-lit gambling machine, through the open slit where the 3 flashing arrows are. Then it falls down, where it lands will determine your reward.
Claim your prize
To the right of the gambling machine where you threw the power core, interact with the reward chest, across from the stairs.
The mission completes as soon as you open the reward chest. Very quick and simple.
This finishes PowerDrop side mission in Borderlands 4.

this is glitched. the chest is blocked by glitches. and won’t open. I’m just asked to purchase a power core over and over.
Jason says
