How to Unlock Electroshock Therapy: The Second Session in Borderlands 4

Before starting Electroshock Therapy: The Second Session, you must first complete the initial side mission "Electroshock Therapy" which introduces you to Professor Ambreleigh's unconventional methods for treating the local wildlife.

Luring Rippers to the electrical field

Tips for luring Rippers:

  • Run about 100-150 meters ahead to find groups of Rippers
  • Shoot near them to draw aggression without killing them
  • Use movement speed artifacts or skills to outrun them
  • Be careful of other hostile creatures in the area

The Rippers will be stunned once they enter the blue field, and the device will automatically zap them, counting toward your total.
