Borderlands 2 Game of the Year eGuide Claptrap's Guide to Minioning

What's the Point, Traveler?

Not getting killed for one thing—that almost just happened, after all. So. You met Handsome Jack and he just tried to kill you—not the nicest thing to do. Now you’re also going from almost dead to all-the-way dead thanks to the bitter cold. But fear not, traveler! I, the great Claptrap, am here to help you pull through, for the small price of indentured servitude. There’s that proverb about if a robot saves your life, what you owe to it, something like that. Anyway, the point is to help me. That’s the important thing. In order to do that, Minion, you’ll need to rest up from all this near-death experience, grab a gun and maybe a shieldy-thing, and pander to the locals. It’s a hostile world out there, full of monsters, criminals, and danger, and I need you to be my meat shield. If you succeed, maybe we’ll even track down Handsome Jack and you can ask him very nicely why he tried to kill you before you kill him! Ha-HA! Onward, Minion!

So anyway, this section can answer questions about the basic ways you go about doing those things that will help you help Claptrap, and in turn, help yourself.
