Borderlands 3 (BL3) has 35 Dead Claptrap Locations. They count as Crew Challenges (Collectibles) and are needed for 100% game completion. They are entirely optional and don’t unlock any trophies or achievements.
None of the Dead Claptraps are missable! You can still find all of them after the story in free roam. To see how many you found, press L3 / Left Stick on the world map and D-Pad Right to open the “Challenges” tab. On the world map, the ones you haven’t found are marked by a green claptrap symbol and the ones you found have a blue (slightly transparent) icon. You can collect them in any order you like with any character you want. Some require a bit of climbing or going to side areas and others are in plain sight. Each of them looks like a wrecked Claptrap body.
Once you go near the Dead Claptraps, they get marked on your world map. Then you can place a waypoint on them to make them much easier to track down. Simply put a waypoint on the spots shown in the screenshots below. When you get close they get marked on your in-game map.
Reward for all Dead Claptraps
What do you get for finding all Dead Claptrap Locations? A unique legendary pistol called “Baby Maker++”! Go to Pause Menu — Social — Mail to retrieve it after all 35 Dead Claptraps have been found. Additionally, each one you find also gives you 10 Eridium, some XP and money (you can see this when scrolling over the claptrap icon on the map).
