So true. Those fishy, pizza, oily, panties in the last DLC sucked so bad.

I hope we get a lot of random "missions" as Achievements.
Liked the 12 Days on Pandora and the My brother is an Italian plumber style of achievements.

Agree, those are fun.

I also hope there will be no achievement with online requierement, up to this day, of the vanilla edition of Borderland (no DLC) I only miss one achievement to 1000, the viral online cheevo to play with a Gearbox staff member or someone who already has it.

I hate those kind of achievements for online, like the two in Portal 2 or things like that. I mean, most of them are ridiculous achievements with 0 fun factor or originality, extremely easy, no rewarding, but impossible to get for silver members. It´s just annoying as hell.

[roggor123]

Oh god.. None of those collection achievement things... I don't mind them but it just took me waaaaaaaay too long to get them!!

This times 100. I still haven't completed those last achievements, even given how obsessed I am with this game... I might go back to it shortly though determined to complete what I haven't finished.

The drop rates NEED to be FIXED THE FUCK UP. I spend hours in the Dividing Faults methodically circling the map such that the claptraps respawn by the time I get back, there are about 4 spawn points, each with about 20 claptraps. I run through countless times and almost never get one of the collection achievement items, and when I find one it's one I don't need.

That other "leave the 360 on overnight and let MINAC kill everything" method is out of the question, my parents would be pissed off if I ever left it on overnight. Also, given the 360's tendency to overheat when left on over an extended period of time... No, not going to risk it.

I hope they do an achievement similar to the "Long Service Medal" achievements from the ME Trilogy. I know you won't be able to use the same character since they have a new set of them, but I'm hoping for an achievement that involves a Borderlands 1 save

[Master Colac]

Im hopin all the achievements are identical if not relatively similar to the previous game. They worked superb for me up until the DLC was released for it! Just sorta of lost interest sadly.

[ll L3G3ND ll]

I just hope the level cap is higher than 50 without dlc

I did the afk trick. However, I still didn't get them all. Got bored.

[Master Colac]

Online achievements didn't really bother me with the previous game as I found it quite enjoyable playing this game online compared to many others, I just imagine get it done nice n early when the community is super active.
A great game to play with friends!

[lustpuppet]

I eventually got the collection achievements from Claptrap, but it required too much patience, and not caring about how much money I have amassed with my character. So I'm not a big fan of those either.

You got bored. Bored of what your not doing anything.

He probably meant bored of farming them and not getting any pizzas. I swear when I did it, I must have got 2 pizzas out of 8 hours of farming.

[T3h Infection]

Beat the game without dieing... lol

Would need a pretty beasty shield lol..

[FSparacino4]

I enjoyed the first game so much that I would be happy with any achievements they include as long as they aren't bugged. The whole reason why I stopped playing the Original DLCs is because the uest to complete all the quests in one of them bugged and there was no fix for it. That royally pissed me off.

[BIGbivvie]

Original achievements are a must. And I hope they have the levelling achievements, it gives you something to aim for.

Oh God. I've beaten this DLC and only found one pizza so far. I was hoping to have this game 100% before BL2 came out but it's not looking good.

Like stated previously, I hope there aren't any of these types of achievements either.

[alf hockeyfan]

i hope theres no online ones... and no online tournament mode or some tagged on mode... as for the dlc i didn`t mind them apart from the mad moxxi ones....GOD they took forever! i got all the acheivements for the first borderlands and i plan to get all of the acheivements for the 2nd!

[StayonTarget]

No grinding... Top level is fine. But no item farming for rare drops. That was horrid.

[Kizawa6]

I just got those Claptrap DLC ones the other day. Took me damn near 4 or 5 days just because I didn't want my 360 to overheat. Sure, MINAC destoys his own minions, but god...and they don't do crap for you except to get achievements. I hope to god they ether fix that drop rate, they actually do something for you, even for some weird little random quest, or just leave it out of the game entirely.

Aside from that, the main game's achievements worked fine for me. Although I can see the obvious reach this or that level. I can see it the current max level being 50-60. They might also want to get an insane number for your badass rank. They might push the online play...I certainly hope not, because that viral one took me much longer than it had to. Although it should take no amount of time if you're going to be playing on day 1. I just mean more or less doing versus kills and they like.

I also predict seeing at least 1 or 2 cheevos for opening Golden Chests, maxing out a skill branch, getting a certain set of skins and wearing it. Who knows, I just hope they are all fun to do and not incredibly time consuming or just flat out luck based.

[Magician NG]

If they're like BL1's achievements out of the box I'd be cool with that.

[TVC613]

I think it is fantastic that they added an achievement involving their late fan, in addition to including him as an npc. And the list in general is really good.

[DOOKH8R]

Decent looking list. Hope the secret ones are funny

The list wasn't up earlier. It looks like it's the same has Borderlands. It doesn't have as many movie references as the first game. But it has this!

Definitely An Italian Plumber 15
Killed Donkey Mong

[HugTheBear]

List looks good. Hopefully the secret achievements are fun.

[SeductiveNoodle]

The achievements look pretty fun to get, but wow there are a lot of secret achievements. I don't remember if there were that many for the first borderlands?
