Walkthrough
We follow the waypoint on the map to get to a building located in the harbor. After taking care of the enemies we climb up the stairs and we activate the elevator, only to receive a message from Sir Hammerlock that the fuse was broken by Claptrap. Next, we go to the most southern point of Southern Shelf area, where the electric fence is and kill all enemies there.
Instead of listening to Claptraps suggestion of running through the fence, we shot the electric box that is behind the fence in order to deactivate it. While facing the fence, we look to the left, and we spot the electric box, which is green.
Combat Tip: A good idea is to disable the fence after we kill the Bullymongs on the other side. If we trick them to come towards us, they will take additional damage from the fence, making our job a lot easier.
We collect the fuse from there and we return to the elevator. We put the fuse back, we use the elevator to climb up, and we buy a shield from the vending machine located there. After that we can return to Sir Hammerlock to complete the Shielded Favors mission and start the Bad Hair Day mission.
