  • How to unlock Unseen Predator

    To obtain this achievement you'll first need to be playing as Zer0 and have reached level 5, as being in Decepti0n is his unique Action Skill. Now that you're playing as him, there's one Skill you're going to have to buy from your Skill Tree before you can make it last for 10 seconds or more, so this will take some levelling to reach it.

    Below is the Skill you'll have to purchase;

    Bloodshed Skill Tree

    Many Must Fall: Killing an enemy with a melee attack while Decepti0n is active, causes you to deploy another holographic decoy, re-stealth, and add time to Decepti0ns duration. This can be done multiple times in succession.

    • Required Level: 30
    • Skill Tier: 6
    • Skill Upgrade: 1/1

    There's also a few optional Skills worth buying that may help;

    Bloodshed Skill Tree

    Killing Bl0w: Massively increase melee damage against enemies with low health.

    • Required Level: 5
    • Skill Tier: 1
    • Skill Upgrade: 5/5

    Iron Hand: Increase your melee damage and maximum health.

    • Required Level: 5
    • Skill Tier: 1
    • Skill Upgrade: 5/5

    F0ll0wthr0ugh: Kill Skill. Killing an enemy increases your movement speed, melee damage and gun damage for a few seconds

    • Required Level: 15
    • Skill Tier: 3
    • Skill Upgrade: 5/5

    Execute: Melee Override Skill. While Decepti0n is active and a target is under your crosshairs, dash forward a distance and preform a special melee attack, dealing massive damage.

    • Required Level: 15
    • Skill Tier: 3
    • Skill Upgrade: 1/1

    Backstab: Your melee attacks deal bonus melee damage when hitting an enemy in the back.

    • Required Level: 15
    • Skill Tier: 3
    • Skill Upgrade: 5/5

    Like the Wind: While moving you gain increased melee damage and gun damage.

    • Required Level: 25
    • Skill Tier: 5
    • Skill Upgrade: 5/5

    Now that you have that, you're good to go for 10 seconds. All you need now is enough enemies to keep it going. This is easier to get playing solo because then you don't have to worry about other people stealing much need kills.

     

    Alternatively, you can try the method shown below. Thanks to redemption ownage for showing this to us. (I just tried it myself with a turbo controller to mash  for me and it worked like a charm)

  • To do this you have to get the skill in the far-right skill tree where if you kill someone you pop out another hologram.
  • I was wondering that. Thanks
  • so its the tree on the right and right at the bottom is the skill to unlock?
  • Yes it is the last skill in the Bloodshed skill tree called Many Must Fall
  • To gain this achievement you must get to level 31 and unlock the bloodshed tree
  • Annoying achievement... why the hell should I spend tons of time with a charakter, that is not appealing at all? Same with Salvadors Achievement, Level required: at least 21! Maya and Axton: Level 5!!! Seriously WTF! Pisses me off!
  • BLN calm down and use your brain for a second man wow... Just start one of the chars you don't want to "spend so much time playing" and join a high level game... You'll be level whatever in a matter of minutes if not less.
  • Join a friend's game that is level 50 and boost your characters. After that start a new game with the boosted characters and just do the killings. Done this with Borderlands 1 and will do it again as soon as my brother reaches lvl 50.
  • @ Rex Ranarum: Zero is awesome, especially with the arachnid head O.O weuw
  • They've sure made it harder than the first game.
  • it STILL takes you hours and hours to reach lvl 31, even if you boost your char. joined a lvl 37 yesterday and made 7-14 in 3-4 hours :(
  • Power leveling isn't a viable option in BL2.
  • In the mission where tina has you lure a bandit (flesh stick) to a tea party, you can kill him and fail the mission. In co-op have the weak character ready to talk with tina and restart the mission every time you "fail". Have a strong character ready to kill flesh stick. Flesh stick will respawn over and over again in the exact same spot and he offers a ton of xp. As long as you never finish the mission you can do this until you're about 3 levels over his level(at which point the xp you get is useless). In new game plus he is level 39. Hope this helps leveling!
  • #13 is suggesting about the best way, xp farming the tina mission!
  • You CAN power level in this game. My group was able to power level an Assassin 1 - 31, Gunzerker 1 - 20, and Siren 13 - 19 in 3 or 4 hours (one toon at a time).
  • So, some people are actually mad that they have to play a character a while to get the character specific achievement? Wow your dumb.
  • Can Xbox Live Guests Accounts unlock Achievements for the Account they are a guest of?
  • no they cannot
  • I need some help power leveling so if someone is up for it this weekend just and me, and we´ll help eachother out/ Cheers
  • Would someone help me boost? I have a level 50 and can return the favour. Unfortunately, my Xbox LIVE expired, but hopefully I'll get that fixed up soon.
  • could some one help me boost up the levels for zero hes level 12 at the mo but i hate him Gt: UrBaNViRuS098
  • just use a 2nd controller for the tina mission, set your level 50 down at fleshstick and just kill him over and over, I played through the game in true vault hunter mode with a 2nd controller just to help with enemies not respawning their health when I died, my 2nd controller char was level 1 when i started and around 45 when I beat the game, then i just farmed warrior for a couple of hours and he leveled up to 50 in no time, now i use my 2nd level 50 to power level my main account characters, easy as pie.
  • My gunzerker is lvl 47 on the 2nd play through. I have not done the tina quest so can farm flesh stick. If anyone is in a similar situation as me i will get their assassin to 31 if they do the same for me. My gamer tag is monkeyrowan just add me and send a message explaining. Thanks
  • If an achievement upsets you this much, don't do it.
  • if anyone would be willing to boost a couple of characters for me just add my gamertag: Lucas939 thanks
  • I have a level 50 if anyone wants to boost zero for me and I'll do the same for you let me know
  • Anyone want to help me boost my level for this? I have a level 50 and am willing to return the favor.
  • just had a big lag spike in the game i was in, and this popped! i was only at level 7 :D
  • If someone wants to help me get Zero to level 31 I will give you a purple relic or something. GT: THE HamBot hit me up whenever
  • I hate the assassin. But, its gotta be done...
  • Does anyone mind helping me level this one up? If you have the fleshstick mission then even better. My GT is BillApocGreen add me and i'll join most games. Can even dupe a few good legendary weapons.
  • Thanks for the help. ^ ^ I had been wondering how to do this one.
  • I just got this with a Level 10 Zero. Activated the Deception mode and when there was 0.xx left on the timer, I hit the b button to get in the back of the Bandit vehicle, then spammed the b button go get out. When he got back on the ground, the achievement popped. Spent about 15 minutes trying the left seat/right seat swap w/o any luck, but getting in and out worked for me.
  • Please need to level up 9 more levels can someone help My gamer tag is ACHIEVEMENT C0P
  • Don't know if Gearbox patched this, but at least you can give it a try. You can take place in the back of the Bandit vehicle, and use Deception. If done right, the time counter will remain at 0:00 and grant you the achievement. :)
  • I am looking for quick leveling, possibly through Pete's bar? If anyone can do that for me, I can do the same with my level 50 character. Gamertag is alekzander xiii
  • @ #33 - perfect, worked first time!
  • I was playing as Zero, and I was below level 10 so I was able to get this way early before rescuing Roland by spawning an bandit techincial and then used the Deception mode, then I got into the back of the bandit techincial and mashed the A button for a little more than 10 seconds and this popped up. That 's the quickest way of doing it.
  • confirmed... ...as of 1:15am on 04-22-2013 the back-seat switching method still works! At about .5 sec left hit 'a' to start switching seats and continue tapping as fast as u can. The achievement will pop.
  • Just got this, however I found earlier comments a bit Vague, I actually had to be IN the left or right back seat of a Bandit technical ( once you've unlocked it ) THEN start Hammering A with about a second remaining. I had no luck when out of the vehicle, entering the back seat then switching, you have to be IN the vehicle to begin with :)
  • As #40 stated, you gotta be in the vehicle before you begin. It still works though, because I just got the achievement. The timing can be tricky, but you'll know when you've got it. Thanks for the tips fellow achievement hunters.
  • I did the cheat. I stood behind a Bandit Tech and went into Deception Mode. Once it was less than 1 but above zero, I hopped in the BACK SEAT then mashed X (or whatever button you have to exit to vehicle) right away and it unlocked.
  • *B not X
  • As of June 22nd, 2013 3:00 PM PST, it still works. I got the cheevo to pop on my third attempts as a level 8 Assassin.
  • Word gonna try the glitch. I gave up on trying to level the assassin
  • Going to try the glitch out myself, hopefully it still works! Thanks for the tips fellas.
  • Seems like it doesn't work anymore as of 14th of July 2013. No luck for me.
  • I just did it using Dus n Jen's technique. I wasn't able to do it using the seat swap, but getting in and out right as time neared 0.00 worked on the first try. Thanks!
  • did work for me post patch. using the seat swap.
  • This worked for me 1st of Dec 2013 at level 14. I found that I could only mash the A button fast enough by holding the controller in my left hand and hitting the A button with my right pointer finger.
  • Alternative method still worked for my and my mate. Thanks a ton.
  • I am relieved to say the glitch still works. DO NOT rapidly press A as i couldn't get it to work this way but instead double tap A just before he sits down and that got it to work for me. Two seat swaps later it popped. I believe timing is key. Good Luck!
  • I can confirm that the glitch still works and it seems very unlikely that it may be patched any time soon.
  • I too can confirm the glitch still works, and I don't think anymore confirmation will be needed with how long it's been. If they haven't fixed it by now, they probably never will. Just want to say though, I waited until it was down to about 75 or 50 milliseconds until I swapped seats, and I only had to do two swaps for it to unlock.
  • Its been a long time since the last post. The "glitch" still works.
  • Xbox one Borderlands 2 version of the Quick one for this I think is patched? will not work with either swapping seats or getting in and out of the back, would anyone know?
  • Just did this. Easy enough, but takes a lot of XP boosting, unless you are already playing Zero (game is easier to 100% if you play Gunzerker or Zero as your main character, since they are the two who need a high level skill to unlock the character-specific achievement). - Get level 31 - Unlock some 'melee damage' stuff in the 'Bloodshed' skill tree - Be sure to grab the point in 'Many must fall' - Go to a level which has low level enemies (area you played a while ago) - Kill two enemies in one hit during deception mode
  • I can confirm that as of 31/12/17, the glitch still works!
  • Seat swapping glitch still works as of April 9 2019
  • Seat swapping glitch still works as of April 5, 2022 (as seen on Xbox 360 version)
