When we first travel to The Dust, we have the opportunity to activate an optional mission (Borderlands 2 Too Close For Missiles) by speaking to a character named Loggins, whos located in Ellies Garage.
SPOILERS AHEAD!
In Borderlands 2 Too Close For Missiles, we need to help Loggins get revenge on the gyro pilots that fired him, by destroying their volleyball court.
Description

Walkthrough
The gyro squads base is close to Ellies Garage, but it cant be reached using conventional means. Navigating to the waypoint will reveal the fact that in order to enter the base we have to make a jump using that giant angled rock.
Jumping should be fairly easy, but as soon as we step inside their base, the enemies will start attacking us. This means that it is a good idea to use our vehicles weapons as long as we can, because we also have a secondary objective to kill the buzzard pilots (the flying helicopters), a task that can be accomplished faster while standing inside the vehicle.
Next, we need to go to the six waypoints inside the base to collect 4 volleyballs and 2 gas cans. After we acquire all items, we move to the new waypoint, and we douse the volleyball net with gas, and then we shoot it using a fire weapon.
Doing this will spawn three new enemies, called Shirtless Men, who need to be eliminated to complete our objective. We return to Ellies Garage to speak with Loggins in order to finish the Borderlands 2 Too Close For Missiles mission and choose between two rewards. Now we can attend to other missions revealed in our Borderlands 2 walkthrough, or those available in The Dust region.
