Easy escort quest. Make it easier and quicker by clearing out the guys to the West of the shredder so he has to stop less.

After you make it to the top of the ramp, you'll get attacked by two more Venture Company guys. They're no harder than the other ones you just fought, so they should go down quickly.

The quest gets turned in at Ratchet, so don't be alarmed when he disappears after you're done.
