Multiple Locations

A rakk from any other nest is still a rakk.

Dr. Zed wants you to head to Arid Nexus Boneyard and collect rakk parts before visiting Arid Nexus Badlands and finding skag parts. These places contain plenty of both species, but depending on where you are in the story and your feelings about going hunting in unvisited lands, you may find it easier to simply visit an area you’re already familiar with for the purposes of this mission.

To complete this mission as speedily as possible, use the Fast Travel station to return to Liar’s Berg in Southern Shelf and head out onto the ice near Gateway Harbor. Bring a shotgun, stand near the water, and wait for the rakk to swoop within range. Unlike other areas you might return to, the enemies at Southern Shelf remain at a very low level. You won’t earn any XP for killing them, but you’ll get plenty of rakk parts in no time flat.

When it comes to finding skag parts, it’s hard to beat Three Horns Valley. Use the Fast Travel Station to visit the Happy Pig Motel, and get yourself a Light Runner from the adjacent Catch-a-Ride. Drive a short bit east west toward the lake to find a thriving skag den. There’s no need to even get out of the vehicle—you can kill plenty of skags with the Light Runner’s guns and even collect the skag parts by driving over them. Return to Dr. Zed to complete the mission.
