Gearbox Software added a new vehicle to Borderlands 3 that’s exclusive to the Bounty of Blood DLC. This hovering motorcycle is called a Jetbeast and represents your steel steed in this Western-inspired Story Campaign Add-on. You can unlock various vehicle parts for the Jetbeast that let you customize its performance and appearance. In this Borderlands 3, I will tell you which Jetbeast vehicle parts there are, what they do, and how to get them.

How to collect the Jetbeast vehicle parts
You can unlock the various Jetbeast vehicle parts by completing missions and getting them as a quest reward but you can also get them by hijacking enemy vehicles.
You can hijack enemy vehicles by getting close to them and pressing the action button. After you hijacked an opponent’s Jetbeast, you can bring it back to a ‘Catch-a-Ride’ station.
The Digi-Struct section of the Vehicle Station is always highlighted when you have successfully stolen an enemy’s vehicle, therefore, you need to look at a notification in the bottom left corner of the screen as a small number will indicate how many new parts the vehicle contains. That way you know if it’s worth scanning the stolen vehicle.
This tip also works for the Vehicle parts from the main game.
