I had to go to another zone and come back for it to appear.

[Monkerlotus]

The claptrap isn't bugged...sorta. You need to have done the Story Mission where you rescue the white claptrap in the cage before that one appears. I can't remember if it was the same in the original version though

[Mr.Cypher504!]

Ok i didnt remember if him showing was tied to the other Claptrap or not . I'm sure ill figure it out

This is correct and yes, it was like this in the original BL1.

[Mr.Cypher504!]

Yeah i just got it done ! Thanks all ! Its been a wile from when i did a full play trough of BL lol

Aye, even though you may see the quest question mark while doing the putting out the fires quest in Old Haven, the claptrap rescue quest isn't truly triggered til you get the Not Without My Claptrap main story quest, which comes a bit later.

Not sure, but I think you also need the free the caged robot first, which is the claptrap involved in the Not Without My Claptrap.

so yes this is clearly bugged.. putting a quest icon on the map when the npc isnt there for it, is a bug.

[Mr.Cypher504!]

Agree that should be fixed to take away the confusion .

Yes, this is very annoying bug. There are many constantly respawning enemies in the area so pointless searching for Claptrap leads to lots of frustration. It was in original version too, but it is still a glitch that needs to be fixed.

There is now also discussion about this on Reddit. People can post their experience there too and up the post so Gearbox will notice it.
