    You are givin these missions by TANNIS at Tartarus Station.

    Are You From These Parts?
    The first one asks you to collect 6 Claptrap parts, these are marked.

    Fight For Your Right To Part-E
    The next mission asks you to obtain 42 parts,

    Parts Is Parts
    The next mission asks you to obtain 75 parts,

    We All Have Our Part To Play
    The next mission asks you to obtain 100 parts,

    A Part Of Something Larger Than Yourself
    The final mission asks you to obtain 150 parts.

    These parts can be farmed in the Hyperion Dump, North of where you obtain the quests. You can farm these parts by killing claptraps that spawn in the dump. When you run out of claptraps, save and exit and start again in the area as all the claptraps will spawn again. It’s a grind and one of the worst mission series in the game.. :/

    Pedle ZelnipI didn't find this one too bad, you get ~40 items on each run through Hyperion Dump, and by the time I finished the Claptrap campaign all I had left was the 150 part mission. So ~3-4 runs & I was at 150.

    DrSchlepensteinI confirm what Pedle Zelnip said on the spot that Apache117X mentions in his guide.

    You will net about 40 claptrap parts per run of this area. My first run through got me 39, the next 2 runs got me 41 each, and the 4th run finished off the 150 needed with a number of claptraps still running around.

    It should also be noted that sometimes a claptrap does not drop a part. It's not often, but I watched a few drop a gun but no part.

    SavenalIf you have modded stuff, read this:
    The quickest way to farm kills is to go to the final boss of Tartarus Station and shoot the claptraps that come out of the MINAC as they’re coming out.
    Got 150 part with some other collectibles in 10 min (from Tannis to Tannis)

    I dilux Ii think it takes only 3 runs as there is another spawnpoint for claptraps in the far southeast part of the map where you might obtain 12-14 parts

    SchizoPsycho74Can you get this achievement if you import your character from the 360 version?

    Apache117XMy understanding is yes, only if you haven’t completed parts of the mission series already - I’m not speaking from experience as I played with a new character. However I couldn’t get Paid in New Haven or Made in Fyrestone because I had completed parts of that achievement with my imported character. But I could be wrong about this one.

    chuckthetekkieI imported my character and this achievement didn't pop as I had already completed it. Unlike all 5 Zombie Island achievements which did pop just for loading my imported character as well as the collectors achievements for this DLC.

    AdayinIf you import a character, you have to hit certain triggers for some achievements' progress to be recognized. If you've already done this one, you might have to start the DLC over. Fortunately, my imported character was already 50% of the way through the last mission so it's not that bad.
