Search Old Laundry

Follow the objective past the Sun Smasher’s camp and over the broken bridge to arrive at a trap door next to a giant rib cage.

 

Open Trap Door

To open the trap door, head up to the rock ledge behind the door and jump off of it, pressing the crouch button (circle button) to slam down into it. Enter the bunker and collect the hanger in the back of the room.

 

Search Satellite Tower

Follow the objective to the western section of the Droughts to arrive at Varkid Valley. Make your way to the tower on the western side of the valley and clear out the enemies stationed there. Once they are dealt with, climb up the tower and shoot the satellite at the top to break free the antenna to collect it.

 

Search Sid’s Stop

Follow the objective past the Sun Smasher’s camp, over the broken bridge and through the Children of the Vault roadblock to reach Sid’s Stop.

 

Speak to Sid

Talk to Sid.

 

Destroy Sid’s Satellite Dish

Destroy all three satellite dishes. The first one is located on the roof of Sid’s shack. The second one is located under the giant windmill west of the shack. The final one is located south of the windmill above the Children of the Vault roadblock (follow the power line from the windmill to spot it).

 

Speak to Sid

Speak to Sid again then defeat him and take his tinfoil hat.

 

Search Spark’s Cave

Follow the objective north past the Sun Smasher’s camp to reach a broken bridge. Take the path to the left of the bridge leading into a ravine to locate Spark’s Cave. Enter the cave and shoot the target on the top of the power generator in the back to turn it off. This will allow you to pass through the water and retrieve a spork from a dead bandit.

 

Search Old Shack

Follow the objective to the northern section of the Droughts to locate the Old Shack. As you try to enter it, a turret and Badass Tink will start attacking you. As you approach the door it will close the door. Back off and wait for it to open again, then run and slide in before it closes again. Defeat them and head to the back room to find the umbrella on the toilet.

 

Give Items to Claptrap

Head back to Claptrap and hand over the antennas to complete the mission.
