This is in no way my guide, I'm just porting it over so I don't have to have google open to look at it.
Ported from Gamefaqs and xboxachievements.

Please do not give thanks to me as I only brought certain parts over that would help me, if it helps you thats a plus.

Claptrap Locations
Sledges Safehouse

He is hard to miss, fighting your way through the safe house, he is in the North West part of the map, right near some rubble, and close to a stairwell, listen for his moaning.

His repair kit is above you, when you are standing on the waypoint.

Lost Cave


The Claptrap in the lost cave is at the point where there is a T intersection where the bandit outpost area is. (looking at the outpost as you enter) Where one path (left) leads to a dead end and the other path (right) leads to the spiral area.

The repair box is up the hill (following the rail tracks up and around) and just behind the second or third building in some pipes.

New Haven


In town, right next to the bounty board. Self explanatory.

Crazy Earl's Scrapyard

When you enter the zone, take your left at the T (the maps right)
Fight your way through bandits and you will see him amongst the camps.

The repair kit is easy as well, just jump on the washing machine to get onto the platform, kill the bandits, and grab the kit.

Krom's Canyon

When you enter the zone, go right. Let the game lead you to it from there on, if you really can't find him, he is (from the perspective of the right side of the map being the only part of the map for this discussion) at the North West part of that Canyon.

His kit is a few jumps away, just keep following the path.

Tetanus Warrens

North of where you started, before you get to the fork in the road, on the left side. The repair kit is farther north, staying left, above some metal structures in the first corner, farthest North West.

Trash Coast

When you first enter, turn right and look at your map, you will see a fork in the road, go left then make your first right, the claptrap is in the middle of a bandit encampment right next to where a bunch of lava crab worms are.

If you find the shack on the ocean, its stright west of that and a little south.

Almost right in the middle of the SOUTHERN potion of the map..

The repair kit is on top of the pipe where the diamond leads. Follow it back to the trash pile, climb onto the pipe, and retrieve it.

Old Haven

He doesn't spawn, until you have completed the quest to save the claptrap from the cage. Once you have that quest enter the zone, and take the first right, and follow that street, as if you were heading towards the base of troopers that had/s the two turrets. He will be in a house...thing on your left, before you turn the corner to head towards that base.

His kit is on the rooftops.

Salt Flats


When you enter the zone, b-line for the huge piece of saw machinery. Once you enter its "area" (from the right side), take your first right, and you can't miss him.

Crimson Fastness

You kind of run into him, he will be next to like 5 of his dead buddies.

Robot revolution achievements
Find all 6 Claptrap Statues
There are six statues to find and they are spread around the new area. Here are all the locations:

1. Hyperion Dump - When you first enter this location after you have collected the clap-components for Tannis, it will be directly in front of you underneath, a speaker.

2. Sanders Gorge - When you first enter this location you will see the statue in front of you, just past a few vending machines.

3. Dividing Faults - When you first enter this location, you will see the statue in front of you.

4. Scorched Snake Canyon - When you first enter this location, make an immediate left down a small set of stairs and another immediate left and it should be right in front of you.

5. Tartarus Station - In the winding path towards Wayward Path.

6. Wayward Pass - After defeating the Knoxx-trap for the second time, the statue will be located just outside his back door on the left.

Grind Achievements

"Go fight the Minac and when he appears, just hide behind the rocks near the van...

Where the van is, behind it you'll find a save point and a shed. Whilst standing in the shed facing out, turn immediately right and you'll see a silver crate with weapons in it. Next to this there's 2 rocks with a thin passage in between them. Simply just hide here... When the Minac comes near you and starts to shoot at you, however, he'll only be able to reach you with 1 turret. All you have to do is shoot the turret and once it's gone, you can sit where you are forever without being hit - he won't shoot you, his robots won't, you're safe. At this point, leave the game running (use a wireless controller) and when you come back a few hours later, there'll be a ton of parts all over the place because the Minac accidentally runs over most Claptraps. Simply run out, collect what you can or need and then if you don't have everything, just repeat the process once again."

Detailed

Sucker born every minute

Paid for a worthless tour of the world's largest bullet
This achievement can be obtained while doing the mission "Code Breaker: Time is Bullets." Since the mission will give you a waypoint to the place where you take the tour. In the map, Sunken Sea, there is a little outlaw village near the bottom left hand corner of the map. It has a Vehicle Station and a Shop located in it. At the entrance of the village you'll see a light-up sign that says "World's Largest Bullet." Upon entering the village, head straight inside towards the shack in front of you. Use the cash box on the side of the shack that has the arrows pointing at it. Once you press , enjoy your errr....tour. The achievement should pop right away. Lastly, you should know that the tour itself costs $8 million, so if you don't have that much you can't get the achievement.


Sneaky Little Buggers

Kill each of the loot midgets
Loot midgets are fairly tough little buggers that jump out of various loot containers. They come in five varieties and can sometimes be found in multiple locations. Below is a list of the types of loot midgets and at least one of their locations:

Meat Popsicle: Hides in refrigerators. Can be found in the lowest portion of T-Bone Junction or in the midget village in Sunken Sea

Dumpster Diver: Found in the dumpster in the area where you kill Motorhead

Truxican Wrestler: Found in one of the lockers at the beginning of Lockdown Palace

Mini Steve: Found inside normal red weapons chests. Can be found in one in Lockdown Palace

Crimson Shorty: Found in one of the Crimson Lance Chests at the end of the Road's End map (just before the Armory)






Zombie Island
Braaaaaaaaaaaaains!

Completed the ''House of the Ned'' mission
This achievement will take the longest to complete but can be done whilst completing other missions. Also if you have more than one player all players can collect towards the total this will make it far easier and quicker.

To activate this misson you have to take TK's wooden leg to his new "zombiefied self" His leg is located on a porch at the south west of the map in Hallows End once you have this in your possesion go into the buiding you found the leg on and give it to zombie TK.
He will then give you the missions to collect zombie brains to feed TK.

  • Collect 10 Brains
  • Collect 25 Brains
  • Collect 50 Brains
  • Collect 100 Brains
  • Collect 250 Brains

To get the zombies to drop a brain upon death try to kill them by a head shot. I found using a shotgun and aiming point blank in their face worked best, as opposed to using a sniper rifle.
After collecting each stage you have to return to TK who will eat the brains in front of you and then puke up a collectable as a reward.

Make sure that you collect the set amount for the mission. Return to TK then start the next mission. You cannot collect 200 brains and turn them all in at once.
