The Research and Development area of Borderlands The Pre-Sequel will get side quests after you beat the area. Coming back to do them will net you some bonus Exp and some decent weapons. This guide will help you get through the area and all the quests you find.
I don’t remember where I got this one but I think it was from Jack. Once you go to the way point you will hear Claptraps talking about the weapons they are making. After that you will go get a bolt to lock down one of the Claptraps. The one of the left gives a Cyrogrenade upgrade and the one on the right gives a corrosion laser.
Go to the ! on the R&D map to find Dr. Spara. first she will want you to collect three Trak brains right outside the rocket area. After that head to the next way point and kill Stalkers for their wings. Once you have the wings head to the three way points and collect the blood. Once you return put the rockets together and launch the first one.
After that you will have to go collect some Dahl brains at the next two way points. You will have to score head shots to get the brains to come out. After you get the brain return to the rockets and put a brain into the second rocket. After that rocket fails combine the two brains and freeze it. Launch the final rocket and you can complete this quest.
You find this at a ! on the R&D map. All you have to do is wait for him to open the window then you close it yourself.
Another one found in the R&D area at a ! point on the map. After you get the quest head to the first way marker and grab the echo. After that head to the lab and try to open the container. You will need to get the code from the other way point then rush back to the lab. The code is on the wall right before the Aquatic Observation Area. After you get the code return to the lab and look to the right of the console to find where you need to put the code in at. You will have to shoot the numbers to enter the right code. Once the code is entered use the console again. Kill the mini destroyer and you can turn the quest in.
