This video will help you locate the entrance to Ironwall Resolve, and where to find the Locust cannister to open it!
In order to open the Ironwall Resolve Bunker, players must first have completed the One Gassy Issue Side Mission, located in the Fades District of Dominion. This Side Mission is only available until after players have completed the Means of Ascent Main Mission. After which, Locust cannisters will be available around the entirety of Dominion.
With the Locust cannisters now online, thanks to the One Gassy Issue quest, head to the Frantic Scrawl Fast Travel Station in the Terminus District, and venture southwest. Following up from the grapple point and along this path, you will reach Praetor’s Lecture. In order to open the Ironwall Resolve Bunker, look to your left to find a Locust dispenser among the trash, where you can yank a cannister with your grapple hook and run towards the Ironwall Resolve Bunker door to throw it and open it.

Once inside Ironwall Resolve, you’re going to want to shoot the glowing red battery core on the left wall. This will destroy the red force field that prevents progress. Now, take a left into the large open room, where on the first left pillar, you can grapple onto to gain height. When standing on this pillar, look west to find a railing you can jump on, and follow the path until you can jump into the north side of the room to find another battery that can be destroyed.
With this battery destroyed, head back to the starting area of the Ironwall Resolve and now take the door on the right. Follow this long corridor through until you reach the end, and then climb the ladder and destroy the next battery. With this battery destroyed, you can now return to the start and head through the central chamber to access the Vending Machines and the Directive-0 boss fight.
How to Beat Directive-0 & Legendary Loot Drops in Borderlands 4
What Legendary Loot Does Directive-0 Drop?
|

Type |
Special Effect |
|---|---|---|
|
Bonnie and Clyde |

Pair of Thieves – On Kill, grants +100% Damage for the Gun’s other Mode and refills its magazine |

Here’s a look at Directive-0’s loot table, and as you can see, it’s pretty heavy on Assault Rifles. We recommend farming for Whiskey Foxtrot, as it can have two potential Legendary effects. Rowan’s Charge is also great for Critical Hit builds, like Vex Incarnate!
Directive-0 has a Shield as his first health bar, and Armor as his second. As such, it’s advised to bring Shock weapons and Corrosive/Cryo weapons. To start, Directive-0 will always put up a barrier to block frontal damage, but simply by shooting this shield, it will break and allow players to damage Directive-0, but it will reapply it every so often.
Directive-0 only has a few moves, in which he shoots his gun, dashes periodically, and throws out orbs that manifest into Rail Liner turrets, so be sure to destroy them when they appear so you’re not obliterated by their charge-up attack. Directive-0’s main dangerous move is his cluster of impact grenades that he throws, so be sure to stay on the move and ready to dash away from him when he throws them.
