Starting Locations: Ready to Blow
Ready to Blow has multiple starting locations. The earliest starting point is in The Howl region, at The Launchpad (faction town). Interact with the object on the counter where the Lost and Found machine is.
The other possible starting point is in Idolator’s Noose, at the missile where the first objective of the quest wants you to go. You could skip the first objective if you start the quest at the missile directly.
Find missile (only if starting the quest in The Howl)
Follow the marker on the map to a little town to the far east, in Idolator’s Noose. Once you approach where near missile is you will be radioed. This is also the alternate starting point of the quest, if you accept the quest here you automatically skip this objective.
Talk to missile
The talking missile is located in the center of that town lodged in a well. Approach it and talk to it.
Talk to Scrapper Orts
Once the missile is done speaking to you head over to Orts in the nearby building.
Pick up missile launch system
Grab the glowing item off the counter in front of Orts.
Collect missile components
Head to the first marker on the map, the location line will guide you there.
Missile Component #1: When you climb up the cliff you will see a grate ahead of you, grapple it to remove the cover. The first part is behind it.
Missile Component #2: At the second marker you will be ambushed by Manglers. Most will be juveniles but there will be one Badass Mangler. Defeat the Badass Mangler, he will drop he second part (blue item), collect it.
Missile Component #3: Head to the final marker and locate the green button around back. Interact with the button and it will launch out the final part.
Return to Gigi
Head back to the missile in the town and speak to it.
Take Gigi out of missile / Carry Gigi to launch area
Interact with the missile to remove Gigi. You must now carry Gigi to the quest marker on foot. If you use a grappling point or vehicle or aim down sights you will drop her, but can pick her up again. At the launch area there are some manglers that you should clear out.
Build new missile
To the right of where you put Gigi, stack up the 3 missile parts on top of each other and set the launch pad you collected from Orts before.
Place Gigi in new missile
Pick up Gigi (blue marker) and place her in the new missile (green outline).
Start launch sequence
After Gigi is done speaking to you, hit the button on the control panel to start the launch sequence.
Defend Gigi
The Order will appear down the hill, defeat them all and head back up to Gigi where more will appear.
Launch Gigi
After defeating The Order, head back to the missile and press the button again to launch Gigi.
