Borderlands 4: Ain't No Sham in It Walkthrough

"Ain't No Sham in It" is an entertaining side mission in Borderlands 4 (BL4) that takes you on a wild ride through Terminus Range. This comprehensive walkthrough will guide you through all objectives of the Ain't No Sham in It Side Quest, ensuring you don't miss any of the action or rewards.

Starting Location: Ain't No Sham in It Quest

To start this mission, you'll need to speak with Tipsy Olivia behind the bar in The Pit. This becomes available only after completing the prerequisite missions "La-La-Last Call" and "Hangover Helper." Olivia will explain that the bar is running low on their signature moonshine, and she needs you to check on their supplier, Ole Shammy.

Ain't No Sham in It Mission Objectives

1. Meet Moonshiner at Coastal Bonescape

Your first objective is to meet the moonshiner at Shammy's Shack in the Coastal Bonescape area, located in the southern part of the Terminus Range map. The journey will take you through some dangerous territory, so be prepared for enemy encounters along the way.

Route to Coastal Bonescape area

As you travel, keep an eye out for loot chests and ammo caches. The path to Coastal Bonescape is filled with hidden treasures that can help you in your mission.

2. Pick Up ECHO Log at Shammy's Shack

When you arrive at Shammy's Shack, you'll find that the moonshiner isn't there. Instead, you'll need to pick up an ECHO log left on the counter. This log contains important information about what happened to Ole Shammy and where he might have gone.

Pro Tip:

If you've been missing an ECHO Log in Coastal Bonescape for your completionist goals, it's likely this one. It only spawns as part of this mission and counts towards the map progress tracker.

3. Find Ole Shammy in the Southwest

After listening to the ECHO log, you'll learn that Ole Shammy has gotten himself into trouble yet again. Head southwest to the new location marked on your map to find him. The terrain becomes more rugged in this area, so watch your step and be prepared for ambushes.

4. Defend Ole Shammy from Wildhorns

When you arrive at the location, you'll find a bunch of Wildhorns surrounding the building where Ole Shammy is hiding. These aggressive creatures will attack on sight, so be ready for a fight.

Wildhorn enemies you'll encounter

Combat Strategy:

Wildhorns are vulnerable to corrosive and fire damage. Use cover effectively and aim for their critical spots (usually their heads or glowing parts) to take them down faster. Watch out for their charging attacks and try to keep your distance when possible.

Eliminate all the Wildhorns to continue with the mission. There are typically 10-15 enemies in this encounter, so make sure you have enough ammo and health kits before engaging.

5. Go to Ole Shammy

Once all the Wildhorns are defeated, approach Ole Shammy who will be standing near the building. He'll thank you for saving him and explain that his still was destroyed by the creatures, which is why he couldn't deliver the moonshine to The Pit.

He'll promise to get a new still operational soon and offer you a sample of his special reserve as thanks. This interaction completes this objective.

6. Return to The Pit

Now that you've rescued Ole Shammy and ensured the moonshine supply will continue, return to The Pit in The Low Leys to speak with Tipsy Olivia and complete the mission.
