 * Find Carson
 * Pick up ECHO
 * Free Carson from prison
 * Pick up Carson's ECHO
 * Find stash
 * Dig up stash
 * "Years ago, Mordecai won the grand prize at Moxxi's Underdome. A little while after that, a thief named Carson stole the loot chest and hid it somewhere in The Dust. Mordecai has informed you that, if you are able to find Carson and figure out where the guns are buried, you can keep them."


 * "Fortunately, you DID find Carson. Unfortunately, he was murdered by his cellmate, Mobley. However, you've found an important piece of info: Mordecai's stash is buried under a grave marked "unknown" in the flats."

Strategy

 * The first objective in this quest is in the Goose's Roost area of The Dust, as with the previous quest Too Close For Missles. Southwest of Ellie's garage, there is a large rock formation that it used as a ramp to access this area. Using a vehicle, drive up the ramp and hit the turbo to jump over the gap into the area. Be aware of several Buzzards that spawn in this area, as well as numerous other enemies. Proceed to the marker to find an ECHO, leading to your next objective to free Carson from prison.


 * Now head to Friendship Gulag. Being a Hyperion facility, this area contains many loaders. Also be sure to quickly take care of any repair scanners to keep them from repairing the loaders. Approach the cell and pry the bars off to find Carson's body. Pick up his ECHO to find the location of the stash.


 * To get to the location of the treasure, start by going to Ellie's garage. Behind the garage there is a path that continues north and lead straight to the waypoint. This area contains a lot of spiderants of various types. Upon reaching the waypoint, there will be several unmarked graves. Search the graves; the correct one will reveal a treasure chest. After finding the chest, Mobley will come out of the nearby church, and a Hyperion treasure hunter will also arrive, both of whom are also after the treasure chest. Kill both of them to complete the quest and loot Mordecai's stash.

Completion

 * "Of the three treasure hunters searching for Mordecai's lost chest, you emerged victorious. Good on ya."
