10 Video Game Side Missions You MUST Complete
5. Shoot This Guy In The Face - Borderlands 2
Side missions don't get much more straight-forward than Borderlands 2's aptly-titled "Shoot This Guy in the Face." Players will come across an especially energetic psycho by the name of Face McShooty on a ledge in Thousand Cuts.
If you're anywhere near him, you'll be able to hear him bleating on about his deep desire to be shot in the face, and if you dare hang around, he'll go on a minutes-long rant about just how badly he needs someone to pop a cap in his noggin.
The quest objectives even insist that you don't shoot him in the arm, leg, or chest, but the face.
If this isn't weird enough to almost convince you not to shoot him in the face, shooting him in the face causes him to fall down dead but not before quickly shouting "Thank you!" as he expires.
As clever and ingeniously designed as most of the side missions on this list are, sometimes some childish absurdity is exactly what the doctor ordered, and this mission delivers it in spades.
