Introduction:
Borderlands 2 follows the story of four new Vault Hunters as they fight to free Pandora from the clutches of Handsome Jack, the brilliant, charismatic, and utterly despicable CEO of the Hyperion Corporation.

Playthroughs:
This can get a little confusing, so I've decided to show the output of how many playthroughs it should take you here. So below is a quick breakdown of it all.

For the 4 character based achievements, Salvador and Zer0 will cause you the most issues. This is because you have to level up one certain Skill Tree on each of them to reach certain Skills to then be able to unlock their achievements. Luckily there's a way around this, but it will take time.

This is based off you either starting with Salvador or Zer0. Play the game how you like and buy whatever Skills you want from whatever Tree you like. But, if you do not stick to the right one for the whole thing, you will have to Respec at some point to obtain the achievements for these two characters.

You will have to level up enough, that you can unlock the Skills needed first, which are on Tier 6 of a certain Tree. Then you'll have to Respec your points and put them onto the right Tree. Putting all of this into perspective, it's quite hard to nail down a precise number of playthroughs it'll take you, but below I've tried my best.

Salvador (Starting character): 1½/2 - Unlock 47 achievements. If you didn't buy the right Skills, you'll have to Respec.
Zer0: ¾/1 - Unlock 1 achievement. If you didn't buy the right Skills, you'll have to Respec.
Maya: ¼ - Unlock 1 achievement.
Axton: ¼ - Unlock 1 achievement.

Coop/Online:
There's only one achievement relating to having another player online. This is "Friendship Rules" where you'll need another player who is on your friends list. Please see the guide for more information.

Misc:
These achievements won't unlock through natural progression, you'll have to do something to obtain them. From the list given, most are pretty simple but some may take a little bit of time and thought.

Some will require you to use all 4 characters and their Actions Skills, complete certain challenges and so forth. None are too difficult to obtain though, they may just take a while.

Characters:
It's up to you who you play as when you start the game. Each new character has their own unique style of play, moves and a whole new set of Abilities. Below is a quick brief of each one to maybe help you choose.
