Involvement
Whilst making a large bomb to destroy the blast gate blocking access to Mt. Scarab Research Center, Tiny Tina requires a power core to initiate the missile launch and tasks the Vault Hunters with getting one from the Arsenal in Helios Fallen.
Upon arriving at the Arsenal, it is revealed that the power core is actually inside Uranus, who activates and attacks the Vault Hunters. This delights Tiny Tina, who recognizes the adult joke surrounding Uranus' name and laughs heartily at the robot. The Vault Hunters manage to destroy it and retrieve the power core.

Notes
- Uranus is similar to Saturn in appearance and behavior, with with turrets on its 'shoulders' and 'hips,' and sharing the same elemental vulnerabilities. However, several of its attacks are different and it also features an additional two autocannons similar to those found on WAR Loaders.
- Maya's Phaselock will not affec Uranus' turrets; instead, a gun or longbow grenade must be aimed at them; however, often damage to one of the shoulder turrets will transfer to the other as well.
- Unlike Saturn, Uranus has two critical hit locations: the red glowing lights in the middle of its torso. This makes Uranus vulnerable to weapons with high critical hit damage. Conveniently, the average spread of an Infinity is just wide enough for the endmost shots of the loops to hit either critical spot alternately when the aim is centered between them and the gun is fired from behind the stack of crates closest to the elevator in the tunnel leading to Uranus.
- Uranus may drop these items at the following chances:
- The Electric Chair Grenade Mod (10%)
- Effervescent Vehicle Skins
- Uranus has a significantly higher than average chance of dropping Legendary, E-Tech or Pearlescent items.
- When farming Uranus, it is not necessary to go through the entire map if one goes to the one-way Fast-Travel Station nearby, then restarts the game. Beware that traveling anywhere else will change the Vault Hunter's spawn location, forcing them to fight their way to Uranus all over again.
