[[Category:Three Horns - Valley missions]]

Medical Mystery: X-Com-municate is an optional mission in Borderlands 2.

Walkthrough

Objectives:

  • Kill 25 Bandits with the E-tech weapon.

Strategy

Once the E-tech gun is acquired, and Dr. Zed gives his spiel, a number of psychos will spawn and attack. The objective is to kill 25, and the first waves will provide 14 bandits to further that goal. Their health can be whittled down with damage from any source, but only kills made with the E-tech gun will help to fill the quota.

Completion

Turn In: Dr. Zed

Notes

  • Players may wish to take the mission Assassinate the Assassins at the same time as this mission: Assassinate the Assassins takes the vault hunters to the nearby Southpaw Steam & Power, which provides an ample source of additional Bandits to kill with the mission weapon.

Trivia

  • The mission's name is a reference to the X-COM series of games.

Bugs

  • The Bandit BlASSter mission item given as part of this mission has a chance to be non-elemental, breaking the rules of E-Tech weaponry. This is especially likely in Normal mode, but can occur in True Vault Hunter mode and Ultimate Vault Hunter mode as well. The bug can trigger both when the weapon is initially given as well as if the player quits and restarts the game while the mission is in progress.
  • Kills made with other weapons may randomly be counted towards the kill count for this mission. This is most likely on weapons which produce special additional projectiles or bomblets, such as the Pimpernel.
