Borderlands 4 Sum of His Parts quest guide

The Borderlands 4 Sum of His Parts quest can only be picked up from Claptrap in one specific location. Moreover, you will first need to complete the No Place Like Home quest before this one becomes available. Here are a few things to keep in mind before starting:

• Recommended Level: 20-35
• Quest giver: Claptrap
• Location: Idolater's Noose in The Fadefields
• Time to beat on average: 10-20 minutes

Once you accept the mission from Claptrap, your next immediate objective is to locate his chassis after fighting off a relatively strong enemy.

Let us now discuss the various stages of the Borderlands 4 Sum of His Parts quest guide.

---

Stage 1: Accepting the quest

Start the Borderlands 4 Sum of His Parts quest in Idolater's Noose in the south-western zone. The mission marker will appear on a dumpster. Interact with it to reveal Claptrap's buried and abandoned lens.

Claptrap will tell you that he was attacked by rippers who took away parts of his body. Speak with him, accept the quest, and progress to the very first objective.

Stage 2: Find Claptrap's chassis

Finding Claptrap's chassis is easy. Head south and travel roughly 100 meters to reach the next location.

Within Idolater's Noose, Claptrap's chassis is located in the Racketrun area. Look for a flowerpot. The rippers have repurposed the chassis as one. Approach it and strike it with a melee attack to spawn Redthump. Eliminate him to retrieve the chassis and go back to Claptrap.

Take the chassis and place it in the garage next to the dumpster where you initially found Claptrap. He will then ask you to insert his eye into the chassis.

Complete this step, and after a short dialogue sequence, you'll receive the next objective in the Borderlands 4 Sum of His Parts quest: locating Claptrap's arms.

Stage 4: Knock on the door

In this stage of the Borderlands 4 Sum of His Parts quest, Claptrap will send you to visit his scrapper neighbors. Follow the objective marker, which will take you 300 meters away from the garage where you assembled his chassis.

Approach the red-marked door and hit it with a melee attack. Nobody will answer, so your objective will shift to getting Claptrap's antenna back. The item can be found mounted atop a tall tower near the house, where the neighbors have been using it as a TV antenna. Go up the ladder and use your grapple to get to the top and collect the antenna.

With the antenna in hand, you can now proceed to retrieve Claptrap's arms.

Once you've collected the antenna, you can go back to the neighbors' house. The door will now be open.

Inside, you'll find Claptrap's arms being used as a TV channel prodder and snack grabber. They're placed near a table directly in front of the television.

Your next objective in the Borderlands 4 Sum of His Parts quest is to locate Claptrap's wheels, located in a beach village approximately 150 meters from your current location.

Head toward the search area and move south to find the wheels. Once you get close enough, you will notice a Psycho using them as a treadmill. Take them from beneath his feet.

You can choose to defeat the Psycho or simply ignore him and continue to the next stage of the Borderlands 4 Sum of His Parts quest.

Chapter 7: Return to Claptrap

Next, return to Claptrap and reassemble his body, including the arms, antenna, and wheels. You must also give him a diagnostic high five, which involves striking his arms with a melee attack.

This stage in the Borderlands 4 Sum of His Parts quest includes a lengthy dialogue sequence as Claptrap invites you to his ripper friend's stash.

Stage 8: Follow Claptrap and kill Lootin' Luke

Follow Claptrap, and he will take you to Lootin' Luke, who disassembled him in the first place.

Luke’s gang of psychos will attack you. While they aren't numerous, their attacks are simultaneous, and if you let them get too close, they can deal serious damage. It's best to keep moving while you shoot them down.

After defeating the gang, eliminate Lootin' Luke and move on towards the next stage of the Borderlands 4 Sum of His Parts quest.

---

Stage 9: Talk to Claptrap

Follow Claptrap and speak with him. He will unlock Lootin' Luke's stash and reward you with cash, weapons, and much more. This marks the end of the Borderlands 4: Sum of His Parts quest, and you'll be able to view your full rewards cache for completing the mission.
