Once you accept the quest from any of the above locations, you will have to find Francis Oddman. His location remains fixed, no matter where you accept the quest from. You can find him in The Fadefields in the Disected Plataeu region.

He can be found inside a facility. To get there, jump down the Deep Seven Order silo. Once you're at the very bottom, follow along the quest marker and enter the facility building through the open door south of the marker. Here, you will find Francis Oddman, and you will begin the next stage of the Borderlands 4 Exit Through the Rift Shop quest.

Stage 2: Reach Order Encampment

Francis Oddman will now send you to collect some machine parts from an enemy camp. This target area is located in Coastal Bonescape, and you can reach it quickly via the fast travel methods.

Once you reach the region, go to Waterstop. Here, you will be greeted by many enemies, and they will likely land more than a few shots. You can ignore them and focus on the objectives, or kill them in the process. Once you arrive in Waterstop, take a look at the three Objective Markers, and they will lead you to the parts Oddman is looking for. Strike the pipes with your melee attack to uncover the hidden machine parts.

Once you collect the machine parts, move forward in the Borderlands 4 Exit Through the Rift Shop quest. Return to Francis Oddman safely. Next, you must fix his machine with the three parts you just recovered from Waterstop.

Go upstairs towards his massive Rift machine and plant the parts as indicated by the objective markers. Once the rift opens up, jump and use the grapple to get into it.

Francis Oddman's Rift Machine fails and sends you straight to an Order Facility. Your next objective is to fight and kill all the enemies you encounter here. You will have to engage in heavy combat and navigate your way towards an upper platform, which you can reach by grappling your way upwards.

Here, you will find one last guard. Eliminate him. The next objective in the Borderlands 4 Exit Through the Rift Shop side quest will then appear.

Stage 5: Release prisoners

In this zone, you will encounter prisoners behind red force fields. On your left, the objective marker will point towards a console with a red button. Press it to release the prisoners.

You can talk to these prisoners for extra rewards and some dialogues. However, this is an optional objective and does not need to be fulfilled in the Borderlands 4 Exit Through the Rift Shop quest.

Stage 6: Find a way out of the lab

Next, face the prisons and turn right. Go all the way to the end of this platform and you'll be faced with a grate. You can pull this away using your grapple to expose a route towards the Storage Room.

Once you're in the vents, go through them, and once outside, take a left. Here, you will come across a locker. Break it open and collect the Enriched Eridium.

---

Stage 7: Throw Eridium into the rift

In this stage of the Borderlands 4 Exit Through the Rift Shop quest, return to the rift that you came from. To do so, follow the objective marker on your compass or retrace your way back to the origin point.

Then, throw the Eridium into the rift. This will allow you to re-enter the rift and return to Francis Oddman, who sent you to the wrong location after promising a place in paradise. The Borderlands 4 Exit Through the Rift Shop quest will then enter its final phase.

After you return, you will be greeted by Order Forces protecting Francis Oddman. Kill them all and return to the lab where you first encountered the mad scientist. You can find him near his Rift Machine.

Once you confront him, you will be faced with a choice. You can either shoot or punch Francis Oddman for all his wrongdoing. Punching him would result in him getting sucked into the rift, where he ultimately dies. Shooting him would also result in his death.
