The Bound for Launch quest in Borderlands 4 (BL4) is one of the major
faction missions tied to the Outbounders.
In this quest, you’ll help the residents of Launchpad prepare their
ship—previously seen in One Fell Swoop—to
finally escape Kairos.
Before you can start, make sure you’ve:
·
Finished the main campaign
·
Completed the quests Null and Void (Borderlands 4) and All Charged Up
Once those requirements are cleared, visit Rush at the crashed ship near the
Outbounder town (the same spot where Null and
Void began) to kick off the mission.

Here’s the full Bound for Launch walkthrough in Borderlands 4.
Step 1 – Meet Rush
and Begin Preparations
After defeating the Timekeeper, Rush informs you
that nothing blocks the Outbounders from leaving orbit. Conway and her team are
preparing for a recon mission to secure more ships. Rhodes is doing final
checks and asks you to retrieve his toolbox from Conway.
Step 2 – Find Conway
and Collect the Toolbox
Head to the nearby barn where Conway is
working. She’s nervous about the mission, but after speaking with her, she’ll
hand you Rhodes’ tools. In return, you’ll reassure her to stay focused on the
journey.
Step 3 – Defend the Ship and Deliver the
Tools
As you return, Rush warns you that Rippers are attacking the ship. Fight
off the waves of enemies. During the battle, deliver Rhodes’ toolbox so he can
complete the final modifications.
The fight escalates as tougher Vile enemies
appear. Once the situation stabilizes, Rush sends you to bring Conway back to
the ship.
Step 4 – Escort Conway
and Crew
The Rippers are hitting multiple Outbounder
positions. Escort Conway and the flight crew back to the ship. NPCs won’t move
until all enemies in each wave are defeated, so be ready for drawn-out fights.
Step 5 – Eliminate
Launcher Meatheads
The Rippers deploy three Launcher Meatheads who attempt to destroy the
ship. They spawn in different spots, so hunt them down quickly. Even after
killing them, expect additional enemy waves, including Vile-infested Rippers.
Step 6 – Walk with
Rush
Once the enemies retreat, Rush suggests
meeting at the Outbounders’ barn. This marks the final preparations for the
launch sequence.
Step 7 – Initiate the
Launch
At Rush’s request, activate the console near the barn door to begin the
launch. Conway and her crew depart successfully, leaving Kairos in search of
aid.
In true Borderlands fashion, Claptrap arrives late and misses the
flight, adding some comic relief. Speak to Rush one last time to complete the
quest.
