dead claptrap possible bug?
I found both dead claptraps in the droughts but it still says I have 0% on it. In a meantime I have 100% in ascension bluff. What do I have to do now?

No idea, but I can confirm that I have the same.

Aaaaaand in 2022 this is still a bug that happens.
I'm sitting right next to the "Dead Claptrap" and can't loot it, because I already did. The map shows it grey, so it knows I looted it, but the "Challenges" tab says 0% for it and 4/5 crew challenges.
Any fix for this ever found?

If you still cannot find anymore dead claptrap, create a new player.

Even if there were more, I should have higher than 0% for finding one in that location.

So... 30 hours down the drain. No fix? Creating a new character won't help my current one's save/game from being incomplete, I'd reason.

I'm tempted to give a negative review if that's the case. But I'm not ready to write a review either way yet. This is one of those ultra simple fix type of things that should have been hotfixed quickly, but they chose to ignore for more than a year while churning out obscenely overpriced DLC.

Open a ticket with GBX, the more people report bugs, the quicker they get resolved.

The game has many such bugs - a lot of them reported since release. Imo the UI-bugs are way worse, but overall it is still a decent game when you ignore the story.

BUT often you can work around those things by going co-op.

There is a very likely chance that you might have actually missed a couple of dead claptraps.

There are a around 35 of them or more. In your game, scan through each map and count the numbers discovered.

If they are less than 35, it means that you have missed some.

I wasn't descriptive enough, so I'll explain further:
On planet Pandora there's a dead claptrap hanging upside-down over a cliff. (IIRC it's in Ellie's backyard area.) I looted the part from it near the beginning of the game when I was there the first time. I got the VO dialogue. The icon on the map is grey. BUT when looking at the map the "Challenge" tab for the zone still says 0% dead claptrap.

I'm specifically talking about that one being bugged.

No. You missed one more.

The Droughts has 2 dead claptraps.

The Challenge will always shows "0" (Zero) when you have not pick all challenges in a map. It's a known bug.

Thank you for explaining.
I'll have to go back later when I've done more story missions and am ready to go back to completing everything.

If you're truly lost on finding the other Claptrap (in a few maps, it won't show up on the map unless you're really close to them, so easy to miss unless you have a keen eye), you can see them here on mapgenie: https://mapgenie.io/borderlands-3
