Three Horns Valley
Shoot the raised ladder on the steam pump to lower it within reach.
Bandits shot up the Happy Pig Motel and killed the power to the area and Scooter wants you to get the juice flowing again. Walk over to the steam pump valve near the vending machine and give it a turn to see if it will come on—try not to act too surprised when it doesn’t. It turns out three parts to the power generator need replacing: a steam valve, a capacitor, and a gearbox. Fortunately, none of them are too far away.
Hop aboard a Light Runner and head south towards the nearby steam pumping rig. Shoot the green glowing ladder to drop it within reach and climb up to the piston on top of the tower. Leap up and pluck the Steam Valve from the top of the pump. This turns off the power to the nearby bandit camp, so expect some recourse for this. Stay atop the tower and snipe the bandits as they arrive. Fire a round or two at the nearby skags to draw them into the fight as well. The Spitter Skags may try to hit you with their projectiles, but the others will likely attack the bandits.
Like shooting fish in a barrel.
Leap down to your Light Runner and continue south to the next pumping station to retrieve the capacitor. Open the door to the capacitor on the base of the pump—it’s empty thanks to those damn skags! Kill all of the skags in the immediate area to find the missing Capacitor. You can do this on foot, but it’s much easier—and safer—to put the Light Runner to use against them. Drive circles around the skags while firing on them with the vehicle’s weapon systems. Tempting as it may be, you should not simply climb into the turret and leave the vehicle idle, as the skags will tear it to pieces in a matter of seconds. The last skag you kill will drop the missing piece of equipment.
Slay the nearby pack of skags to find the missing Capacitor.
Two parts down, one to go. Drive north past the Happy Pig Motel and veer slightly to the right as if to approach the northern exit to Three Horns Divide. The Gearbox you seek is located at the pumping station near the partially frozen rocks, but the Badass Bullymong living on the pumping station has eaten it. Kill the Badass Bullymong—Fire weapons will make quick work of it—and retrieve the item it drops.
Not so badass now, are you furry?
Return to the Happy Pig Motel and scamper up the rocks to the left of the motel entrance. From there, run and leap onto the roof above the Catch-a-Ride and install the Gearbox near the ladder. Climb the ladder to the top of the pumping tower and replace the Steam Valve. Drop back to the ground and replace the Capacitor at the base of the pump. Now return to the valve you tried at the start of the mission and turn the power on. Collect your reward at the Happy Pig Bounty Board.
Install the three acquired parts into each of their respective slots at the Happy Pig Motel’s power station.
