How to Unlock the Tipping Point Bunker on Kairos | Borderlands 4

First things first, where is this elusive bunker? You’ll find the Tipping Point Bunker tucked away in the very southeast corner of The Fadefields. It’s a bit off the main path, chilling next to a boss arena and a Safe House. Honestly, you can’t really miss it once you’re in the area. Nothing physically stops you from running straight to it the second you gain control of your character. The only problem? It’s locked up tighter than Claptrap’s diary.

How to Actually Open the Bunker

So, you’re standing in front of the Tipping Point Bunker, and it’s giving you the silent treatment. Here’s the secret: you can’t open it right away. I know, I know, it’s a total buzzkill. The game wants you to work for it.

To open this bunker, you need to progress through the main story until you complete the mission “One Fell Swoop.” This quest is your golden ticket, as it unlocks the ability to use Locust Canisters. These little beauties are basically acid bombs designed to melt through specific barriers, including the one on our stubborn bunker door.

Once you’ve got that ability, it’s time for a little field trip back to The Fadefields.

Your Step-by-Step Guide to Cracking the Bunker

Ready to feel like a genius? Follow these steps:

1. Get back to the Tipping Point Bunker. Stare it down. Let it know you mean business this time.
2. Face the main entrance and hang a sharp left. Walk like you own the place.
3. Look for a giant ventilation shaft. It’s hiding behind some golden pipes. It looks important because it is.
4. Waltz right through the fan. The blades are busted, so you won’t get sliced and diced. Follow the path, and you’ll see a platform marked with those classic yellow and black “hey, jump here!” stripes.
5. Hop up onto the platform. In the room to your left, you’ll find what you’re looking for: a Locust Canister dispenser. It’s glorious.
6. Grab a canister. You’re on the clock now, so don’t dawdle!
7. Haul it back to the bunker door and chuck that canister right at the forcefield.

Poof! The barrier will dissolve like cotton candy in the rain, and the bunker is all yours. See? You didn’t need to be a rocket scientist, just a very determined person with access to highly corrosive materials.

What’s Inside the Tipping Point Bunker?

Congratulations, you’re in! Now what? Well, it’s a bunker, so expect a fight. You’ll need to clear out a bunch of Order enemies who are less than thrilled about your home invasion. The layout is pretty straightforward, so just follow the path, shoot anything that moves, and make your way to the end.

Your final challenge is a boss fight against a nasty piece of work named Mimicron. Take it down, and you’ll be rewarded with a beautiful, glorious, shimmering fountain of loot. And we all know that’s why we’re really here. There’s always a chance for some shiny legendaries to drop, so cross your fingers and hope RNGesus is on your side.

Once you know the trick, opening this bunker and others like it becomes second nature. It’s just Borderlands‘ way of reminding you that sometimes, the solution is right around the corner, waiting for you to unlock a new way to make things go boom.
