Best Build for Claptrap in Borderlands the Pre-Sequel

Best Build for Claptrap in Borderlands the Pre-Sequel

In this guide, this time, we will see the best build for Claptrap. This little robot is undoubtedly the most famous character in the game, as we see him throughout the adventure during Borderlands 2. After spending almost the entire adventure with him around, the protagonist getting to know him more and more, and Claptrap being there for the character, all the fans who already know him made a decision almost unanimously: He is the most unbearable character in the game.

That’s why, true to his style, Gearsoft released him as a playable character in Borderlands the Pre-Sequel. His random play style is as annoying as his dialogue, but his appeal makes players want to use him and hate him even more, but this is not easy. Claptrap is really very difficult to put together, and that’s why, in this guide, we will learn how to do it.

List of Claptrap skills

The first thing to do with Claptrap is to build a build that is as balanced as possible. Since the power of this Vault Hunter is random, we must be prepared for anything, and with this build focused on the Skill Tree of Fragtrap, we will be prepared for anything.

Best equipment for Claptrap

Best Weapon for Claptrap: Fridgia

There aren’t many weapons that you can say are particularly good for Claptrap, with the exception of the Fridgia. The weapon excels at firing two bullets for the cost of one and can cause the Cryo status effect. This weapon complements well the chaotic nature of Claptrap, so walking into a room shooting all over the place and praying that when you open your eyes all your enemies are dead is a viable option.

   Best Weapon for Claptrap: Fridgia

Best shield for Claptrap: Avalanche

As with Fridgia, this shield is very useful for Claptrap because of its unpredictable and varied nature. This shield is focused on damage, and its ability to cause multiple status effects will combine with Claptrap’s skill tree to generate mayhem on enemies.

   Best shield for Claptrap: Avalanche

Best grenade for Claptrap: Quasar

Unlike the previous two items, Quasar gives a bit of stability to the build. Although this grenade always deals shock damage, the real utility of this grenade is the ability to gather all enemies in the center of the grenade. By doing this, you can inflict as much damage as you want until the grenade explodes.

    Best grenade for Claptrap: Quasar

Best Class Mod for Claptrap: Sapper

Claptrap has many good class mods, but the Sapper, even if it doesn’t have a very high rarity, is still the best option. This Class Mod will improve all the explosive effects of Claptrap, so we will see all the points we put in the Boomtrap Skill tree shine.

    Best Class Mod for Claptrap: Sapper

Alternative Build: Torguetrap

This build is focused on the explosive ability of Claptrap. By raising almost all the points in the Boomtrap Skill Tree, we will make Clap Trap an explosion machine with immense damage. Obviously, we will prioritize all weapons with high explosive damage. This build works very well for solo play, but you can also take advantage of it when playing in a team.

   Alternative Build: Torguetrap
