In the far east region of The Launchpad, players can find the Prospects, a Ripper Drill Site in the Hungering Plain area of the Fadefields. Upon entering the arena, players must fight against hordes of Rippers to summon the ultimate foe, Sidney Pointylegs. This boss is noted for being a gigantic Psycho head on spider legs, so its critical hit spot is fairly obvious. Shoot at Sidney's head, but be aware that after the first 2 health bars have been destroyed, players will have to fight the legs with no critical hit spot. However, the health bars are as follows: Shield, Flesh, and Armor. As such, players should start with Shock, then switch to Incendiary, and finish it off with Corrosive or Cryo. Sidney isn't too strong, but this boss can jump up and perform helicopter spins with its legs, so be mindful of where you stand and where you aim.
The Pitted Stain

The Pitted Stain is the 2nd Fadefields Ripper Drill Site, found in the far south region of Idolator's Noose. Upon venturing here, players can enter the arena via the large door adorned with bone tusks, and prove the bosses to emerge by killing the swarming Rippers within the area. The boss itself is rather alarming, as it's not one, but three. These three bosses, Hank the Welder, Sal the Engineer, and Frank the Furnace, can overwhelm with their different attack styles, but their health bars are consistent. Each of the Foundry Freaks will have an Armor bar and then a Flesh bar, so Corrosive/Cryo and Incendiary is advised. As for strategy, distance is recommended, as Sal and Hank will charge at you, while Frank uses his Meathead AMPs to buff surrounding enemies. Splash damage is also great for clearing out these foes.
The Old Scrape

- Location: Cuspid Climb, Terminus Range

The entry region of Terminus Range will take players to Cuspid Climb, where to the east, is a large Ripper hideout. Players can venture deep into this territory to find the Ripper Drill Site known as the Old Scrape, which is marked by a metal drawbridge and bones of a dead giant. Like all other Ripper Drill Sites, players are going to want to provoke the boss into appearing by killing the onslaught of Rippers. After doing so, players will spawn Saddleback and the Immortal Boneface. Players should focus soley on Saddleback, the Meathead who carries the Immortal Boneface. Saddleback has an Armor bar and then a Flesh bar, so Corrosive/Cryo and Incendiary is advised. Once Saddleback is dead, the Immortal Boneface loses his immortality buff and can be damaged, so use Shock for his Shield and Incendiary for his Flesh.

To the west region of Stoneblood Forest in Terminus Range, players can find The Lowering March, a Ripper Drill Site that can be followed through by navigating past the bone tusks to find a large arena. Inside the arena, follow the formula of killing all Rippers that spawn to bring forth the dreaded Battle Wagon. The Battle Wagon is a giant elephant creature, adorned with Ripper riders, turrets, and mountain rocket launchers. With a chunky Flesh bar, players are going to want to use Incendiary to melt the boss, while also focusing on the enemies that sit atop its back. The Battle Wagon will take a fair few bullets to kill, and even when defeated, players are going to need to slay the riders if they want to claim its loot.

Heading to the southeast region of Lopside will see players enter Tendercage, a Ripper Drill Site of Carcadia Burn that can be followed through to find a giant animal skull adorned in Ripper hardware. Entering through the skull and dropping into the arena will see players face a Ripper horde, and then against a duo of bosses: Bango and Pango. Bango and Pango are both creatures that have been augmented with turrets and rocket launchers, but they still both have Flesh health bars, so just use Incendiary to melt through them.
Saw's Clench
How to Beat Rippa Roadbirds (Baby Grunt, Gruntabulous Vork, and Lil' Grunt)
- Location: Ruined Sumplands, Carcadia Burn
|

Wombo Combo |
In the south area of Ruined Sumplands of Carcadia Burn, players can find Saw's Clench. This large pit will have players come up against Rippers, and then a trio of bosses. The trio themselves are known as Baby Grunt, Gruntabulous Vork, and Lil' Grunt. Each of these bosses works the same, as they will constantly be airborne, protected by Shields (destroyed with Shock), and then melted with Incendiary with their Flesh bar. Each of the three will fly around and try to scorch you, so keep your Shields up and your damage high.
