Exploring the expansive environments of the Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate's Booty DLC brings players face to face with hidden treasures and challenging side objectives. Among the most popular secondary tasks is the second message in a bottle optional mission, which leads vault hunters straight into the dangerous, rust-colored desert of Wurmwater. Finding the physical bottle triggers the questline, requiring players to interpret regional landmarks to claim their ultimate reward.
Locating the Bottle in the Wurmwater Expansion
Before you can begin hunting down the buried loot, you must travel to the vast, dried-out ocean bed of the Wurmwater area. The container itself is located near a small, elevated pirate camp situated toward the northern region of the map. Players will need to fight through several waves of local sand pirates and flying skiffs before safely interacting with the glowing object on the ground.
Once you interact with the item, Captain Scarlett will comment on the piece of paper found inside, marking a waypoint on your radar screen. This initial step updates your journal entries and activates the tracking sequence required to progress the hunt. Keeping a vehicle nearby is highly recommended to easily navigate the uneven terrain between the camp and the final burial site.
Deciphering the Waypoint and Finding the X Marks the Spot
The updated map waypoint guides players toward a specific coordinates range characterized by massive mechanical structures and old abandoned wreckage. Many players occasionally struggle to locate the precise spot because the indicator covers a wide area with multiple elevations. You should focus your search around the base of the massive metal anchor structures resting near the center of the zone.
Look closely at the ground to spot a glowing white cross painted onto the dark metal surfaces or nearby desert rocks. Approach this unique marker directly and press the interact prompt to reveal the hidden container buried beneath the debris. Unearthing this chest triggers the final stage of the sequence, verifying that the regional parameters have been fulfilled successfully.
Claiming Your Loot and Mission Rewards
Opening the heavy chest rewards players with a diverse assortment of rare weapons, shields, and valuable currency tailored to your current level. The surrounding camp area also contains smaller ammunition crates that allow you to quickly replenish your supplies after the fight. Once the chest is completely empty, the side mission officially wraps up within your logs.
Completing this objective grants a substantial amount of experience points alongside standard planetary currency used to purchase black market upgrades. Vault hunters looking to maximize their gear efficiency should consider tackling this quest immediately upon entering the DLC zone. Taking the time to finish these quick map activities dramatically improves your combat readiness for the tougher raid bosses ahead.
