Walkthrough: How to Complete Imminent Jest

Stage 1: Shoot the Pipe to Prank Crankus

• Jankus asks you to prank his brother Crankus by shooting a sludge pipe.
• Travel 600 meters north to a building called Villa De Cranku.
• You’ll see Crankus under a glowing red pipe. Shoot it to release sludge on him.
• Instead of getting angry, Crankus laughs it off and tells you to meet him.

Stage 2: Sabotage Jankus’ Air Conditioning

• Crankus now sends you to Jankus’ house about 400 meters north.
• Use your grapple to detach the air conditioning unit from the roof.
• The unit falls, setting Jankus on fire. He screams and runs outside.

Stage 3: The Twist

• Head back to Crankus.
• He reveals the entire prank was actually aimed at you, the Vault Hunter.
• Jankus appears alive, and the brothers team up against you.

Stage 4: Defeat the Psycho Brothers

• Both brothers turn hostile and attack.
• Jankus: Melee attacker with a large weapon.
• Crankus: Ranged attacker with low HP.
• If you’re around Level 20, the fight may take some effort. At Level 30+, they should go down easily.

Once you defeat both, the Imminent Jest quest ends.

Rewards for Completing Imminent Jest

While it isn’t the most profitable quest, here’s what you’ll get:

• 5000+ XP
• Cash
• Possible ammo and common drops
• Rare chance of valuable loot from the brothers

This makes the quest more worthwhile for early-game players looking to build up XP and currency.

The Imminent Jest quest in Borderlands 4 is quick, quirky, and adds flavor to the early stages of the game. Though it doesn’t deliver legendary loot, the mix of humor and combat makes it worth completing, especially for XP and cash.
