How to unlock the Mechani-Cool achievement in Borderlands 3 - Definitive Guide

There are two ways to go about acquiring ten, or all if you're interested, vehicle parts in the game.

The first method is through the in-game and on-map 'Hijack Targets' that Ellie will hint are near you as you're exploring the map. IGN has an interactive guide for this and there's roughly enough for this if you wait it out.

The better method would be trying to hijack enemy vehicles manually. Some of the better car customization pieces and upgrades can come from this. Simply walk up and hold 'X' to hijack. "Gamewith.net" has a good guide that includes every part in the game.

Totally agree with vSully, this video is super annoying, the youtuber just talks forever about himself instead of simply showing the content.

This video is the epitome of everything wrong with yoytube. The guy takes forever blathering on and on about liking, commenting, and subscribing. Just show me the details and stfu already (the video guy, not the solution OP).

Notes:
  • Due to how hard it is to keep a vehicle intact in the later stages of the game, I strongly recommend getting this trophy done as early on as possible to prevent any undue frustration.
  • It's also unknown if the parts obtained via the story related vehicles count towards this or not.
  • Parts sometimes fail to register as being unlocked, thus you will have to hijack another vehicle with those parts and re-scan them back into the system - This might have been fixed with the 1.10 patch.
  • There is a rare crash problem that can affect Ellie's Hijack Missions, which causes the game to freeze/crash when you attempt to drop the vehicle off at one of the Catch-A-Ride stations. There is currently no fix for this issue.
  • Please use one of the following Spreadsheets to keep track of how many parts you have found: LINK, Credit to Multicron: LINK
You will unlock the ability to hijack Vehicles, during the "Cult Following" mission and completing Ellie's mission. The parts obtained from the Guns, Love and Tentacles DLC also count towards this trophy. Once you have access to the Catch-A-Ride system, there are 2 options for gaining new Vehicle Parts:

1: Complete Ellie's Crew Challenge in selected maps (see here for a full Guide: LINK).
2: Drive around until you see a vehicle that looks different to the ones you've seen before, then attempt to Hijack it by pressing when the prompt appears on the driver's side of the vehicle.

You will know if you have discovered new parts, when the following message appears on the bottom left-hand corner of your screen:



Depending on your luck with the RNG, you will earn 1-2 new parts per-vehicle but it doesn't matter if you collect parts for 1 vehicle type or all 3 (i.e. Outrunner, Technical and Cyclone) because they all count equally. You can see how many parts you've collected, by visiting a Catch-A-Ride station then pressing and looking at the various categories for each vehicle. After collecting your 10th Vehicle Part, the trophy will pop.
