Rippa Roadbirds in Borderlands 4 is a gang comprising three members that you will encounter at Saw’s Clench Drill Site. The members, namely Lil’ Grunt, Gruntabulous Vork, and Baby Grunt, come with their own separate health bars and resort to the use of throwable projectiles, dealing heavy damage with splash damage on the area of effect.

In this article, we will look at how to find and defeat the Rippa Roadbirds Boss in Borderlands 4.

To locate the Rippa Roadbirds, you will need to first head to Saw’s Clench Ripper Drill site, which is in the region of Carcadia Burn. This trio of bosses is on guard duty protecting the site. On the map, around the north side of the ‘Ruined Sumplands’, you will find a blip for the ‘Saw’s Clench’.

Head to the area, and you will be greeted by a horde of the Queen’s minions. After fighting through them for a bit, the Rippa Roadbirds will finally make their appearance seated inside three individual flying pods.

Each of them comes with its own individual health bars. They will also come with a shield, which is indicated by a blue bar. Once you get rid of the shield, however, their health is considerably easier and faster to deplete. For starters, you can destroy their shields using your shock weapons.

After depleting their health to lower levels, you will notice them spewing yellow smoke. This is toxic if exposed to, causing you to lose health. So keep a safe distance from the smoke as you eliminate the targets. Once that is taken care of, you can switch to using Incendiary weapons to let loose and finish the job in style.

Another tip to keep in mind is keeping some enemies alive, as they will be useful to activate ‘Second Wind’ and give you another fighting chance.
