Hyperion Contract #873 | Borderlands 2 | As Gaige, Walkthrough, No Commentary

Borderlands 2 is a vibrant first-person shooter with deep role-playing elements, developed by Gearbox Software. Set on the chaotic planet Pandora, players take on the role of Vault Hunters battling dangerous wildlife, bandits, and the tyrannical Handsome Jack of the Hyperion Corporation, all rendered in a distinctive cel-shaded art style. The game emphasizes loot, offering an immense variety of procedurally generated weapons and gear, alongside a humorous narrative and robust cooperative multiplayer. Hyperion Contract #873 is a memorable optional side mission in Borderlands 2, available from the bounty board in the Highlands' Overlook area. Presented as a straightforward job from Hyperion, its true charm lies in its subtle humor and reward. The primary objective is simple: eliminate 100 bandits. Optional objectives encourage using specific elemental damage types—incendiary, corrosive, shock, and explosive—on 25 bandits each, though these are not required to complete the main contract. Players can find bandits in numerous locations across Pandora, with even lower-level enemies contributing to the count. The game is generous with what counts, including different bandit types and even some enemies like Rats and Sand Pirates, adding flexibility to how the objective is tackled. Environmental kills also contribute to the total. Upon completing the contract, the player is rewarded with the unique Morningstar sniper rifle. This Hyperion weapon features slightly enhanced base damage and a special effect that grants a temporary critical hit damage bonus for consecutive critical hits. However, its most distinct characteristic is a built-in voice module that audibly berates the user for actions like reloading, swapping weapons, or even getting critical hits. This unique feature is a direct reference to the popular webcomic xkcd #873, a detail explicitly acknowledged within the game upon receiving the weapon. The Morningstar serves as both a functional tool and a humorous, meta-commentary reward, making Hyperion Contract #873 stand out among Borderlands 2's many side quests.
