Borderlands 2 - Achievement Guide Xbox360Achievements.org - Every Point Counts
There are 59 achievements with a total of 1375 points.
Challenge Accepted (30 points)
Completed level 1 of all non-level-specific challenges with a single character
There's many challenges in the game which you'll need to complete past level one for this. Well over half will come through natural progression of the game and are easy, while others will require certain guns, elements or types of kills.
One challenge you should look at first is 'JEEEEENKINSSSSSS!!!'. Knowing what to do here beforehand will save you hours of grinding.
For a full list of all the challenges, please go HERE.
Goliath, Meet David (15 points)
Allowed a Goliath to level up four times before killing him
Goliath's are big hulking monstrosities [IMAGE] that can be found throughout Pandora.
The Goliath starts out with a mask/helmet that helps control his rage. First you'll need to shoot this off and at the point of doing so, the Goliath will go into a rage mode. In this, he'll attack anything and everything in sight.
Each kill the Goliath makes while raging will gain him experience points and then levels, becoming even more dangerous. This means you'll need to leave him to rage until he's gone up 4 levels to a total level of 5. You'll know when he's levelled up as he'll do a small animation, gain some health back and his name will change.
Level 0: Goliath
Level 1: Raging Goliath
Level 2: Badass Goliath
Level 3: Super Badass Goliath
Level 4: Ultimate Badass Goliath
Level 5: Fatal GOD-liath
Once he reaches Fatal GOD-liath, you're free to kill him for the achievement.
Went Five Rounds (25 points)
Completed Round 5 of any Circle of Slaughter
The Circle of Slaughter can be located in either Ore Chasm or The Fridge areas. Simply head here to receive the side mission "Hyperion/Bandit Slaughter: Round ..." from the Innuendobot 5000 or Fink.
The Circle of Slaughter has the same concept of Moxxi's Underdome DLC from Borderlands. You're placed in an arena and then presented with waves of enemies that you must defeat until you complete the round. So for this achievement, you must get to and complete round 5. Once a single round is complete, you can head back to the quest giver to hand that round in and gain some XP/Cash as well as restock on things.
Trying to do this solo can be a little tricky, but the Circle of Slaughter in The Fringe is a a little easier because the levels are set lower. If you feel you need a team but don't have anyone that is up-to-par who can help, ask HERE.
Not Quite Dead (5 points)
Reached level 5
Once you reach level 5, your characters unique Action Skill will be unlocked and ready for you to purchase and use in battle.

Always Improving (25 points)
Reached level 25
Please refer to "Capped Out…For Now" for more information.
Capped Out…For Now (50 points)
Reached level 50
Reaching level 50 will take you at least 1½/2 whole playthroughs of the game. Simply completing one playthrough will get you to around level 30-35. Unless you play a lot more coop with higher levels, then you may be a little more.
Once you've reached these levels, you'll be pretty close if not at the end of the game and the XP will be small and sweet. This now means you need to move onto your 2nd playthrough with the same character.
The XP you gain now in this playthrough will be more worth it. You should reach level 50 at 3,429,728 XP and about ½ if not at the end of your 2nd playthrough.

Tipped Moxxi $10,000
*See below for cheat method.
Money shouldn't be too hard to come across in this game as it's everywhere. You'll get it from completing main/side missions, killing enemies and completing challenges.
Moxxi can be found in Sanctuary at her bar & club called Moxxxis. You can't miss her, she's behind the front desk. Once you spot her, you'll notice a glass jar on the front desk which has some red lips poking out of it saying, "Insert Your Tips".
Look at it and you'll be prompted to either give Moxxi a $100 tip by pressing or a $1,000 tip by pressing . If you have the cash, press to hand over a $1,000 tip. Now do this 9 more times and the achievement will unlock. If you don't have enough money don't worry. You can come back at any time to give her the remaining money, it does not have to be all in one go.
*If you want to keep your money, simply save the game before you give the full $10,000 tip to Moxxi. Once done, quickly dashboard. Now just load up your previous save and you'll still have your $10,000.
Decked Out (25 points)
Had Purple-rated gear or better equipped in every slot
Borderlands 2 uses a colour-coding classification system for all the equipment throughout the game. Certain weapons are common, while others are rare and this is relayed back via a different colour. Below is the key for each colour and its rarity.
Weapon Colour Codes
White: Very Common
Green: Common
Blue: Uncommon
Purple: Rare
Magenta: Very Rare (E-Tech)
Orange: Legendary
Seeing as the purple or higher are set as rare+, you won't come across them much at the beginning of the game, but as you progress through it, you'll start to notice a few more about via item drops, crates or shops. You'll need to fill all 8 slots available - 4 guns, shield, grenade, class and relic mod.
If you're having trouble with this achievement, please go HERE and trade with other member who can give you the stuff you need.
Sabre Rattler (20 points)
Killed 100 enemies with the Sabre turret
To obtain this achievement you'll first need to be playing as Axton and have reached level 5, as using the Sabre Turret is his unique Action Skill. Now that you're playing as him, all you'll need to do is use his Turret on 100 enemies making sure they die by it. There's a few Skills worth buying to make the process go faster though. So, feel free to level up and spend some Skill Points on them.
Below are the Skills that may help;
Guerrilla Skill Tree
Sentry: Increase the number of shots your Sabre Turret fires in each burst. Also increases your Sabre Turrets duration.
Required Level: 5
Skill Tier: 1
Skill Upgrade: 5/5
Scorched Earth: Adds multiple rocket pods to your Sabre Turret.
Required Level: 15
Skill Tier: 3
Skill Upgrade: 1/1
All you need now is enough enemies to use the Action Skill on. To start, this may be easier to get playing solo because then you don't have to worry about other people stealing much need kills.
Phased and Confused (20 points)
Phaselocked 100 enemies
To obtain this achievement you'll first need to be playing as Maya and have reached level 5, as Phaselocking is her unique Action Skill. Now that you're playing as her, all you'll need to do is use her Phaselock on 100 enemies. Again, there's a few Skills which may help it go a little quicker, so feel free to level up and spend Skill Points on them.
Below are the Skills that may help;
Motion Skill Tree
Converge: Your Phaselock ability now also pulls nearby enemies towards the original target.
Required Level: 15
Skill Tier: 3
Skill Upgrade: 1/1
Quicken: Increases the cooldown rate of your Phaselock's ability.
Required Level: 20
Skill Tier: 4
Skill Upgrade: 3/5
All you need now is enough enemies or simply one to use the Action Skill on. To start, this may be easier to get playing solo because then you don't have to worry about other people making kills before you get to use it. Remember that the enemy(ies) do not have to die while in the Phaselock.
So Much Blood! (20 points)
Gunzerked continuously for 90 seconds
To obtain this achievement you'll first need to be playing as Salvador and have reached level 5, as Gunzerking is his unique Action Skill. Now that you're playing as him, there's a few Skills you're going to have to buy from your Skill Trees before you can stay in Gunzerking mode for 90 second, so this will take some levelling to reach them.
Below are the Skills you'll have to purchase;
Rampage Skill Tree
Last Longer: Increases the Gunzerking duration.
Required Level: 10
Skill Tier: 2
Skill Upgrade: 5/5
Yippie Ki Yay: Increases the duration of dual-wielding every time an enemy is killed while Gunzerking.
Required Level: 20
Skill Tier: 4
Upgrade: 5/5
Now that you have them, you're good to go for 90 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.
Cute Loot (15 points)
Killed a Chubby
Chubby can be found all around Pandora, but there's two good spots you're guaranteed to find one and that is in the starting area of the Caustic Caverns (Cubby Vakid) & the Wildlife Exploration Preserve (Cubby Stalker). It has a fixed spawn point where the first group of enemies are located, right next to the fast travel stations. So you can back out to the main menu and hit continue to make all enemies respawn but take note they're ultra rare, so it may take some time. A Chubby is not a normal enemy, he's a variation of an enemy type, so - Varkid, Spiderant, Skag, Stalker, Midget and Rakk.
For a list of other known locations, please see below.
Blake Bridge
Underground area's of Frostburn Canyon
The Dust
Firestone
Slaughter Dome
Tribute To A Vault Hunter (15 points)
Got an item from Michael Mamaril
Michael can be found in Sanctuary. His location changes randomly, so you'll have to do a bit of searching. All you need to do is simple talk to him and he'll hand you a weapon. Once you've accepted it, the achievement will unlock. Below are a list of his known locations.
Scooters Garage
Marcus's Shop
Centre of map, next to the "This Just In" vendor
Moxxxi's, at the bar or next to the piano & jukebox

Down by the Sheriffs near the Dhal garbage

Definitely An Italian Plumber (15 points)
Killed Donkey Mong
Donkey Mong is an ultra rare monster that spawns in the Bullymong areas of Eridium Blight [MAP]. You will enter this area automatically during a story mission. He looks like one of the common Bedrock Bullymogs, but throws explosive barrels at you.
Donkey Mong has only one single spawn point, however, he spawns very rarely. He can also spawn at any time of day. Take note that you do not have to do any special requirements to make him spawn.
High-Flying Hurler (10 points)
Killed a flying enemy with a thrown Tediore weapon
Tediore weapons have a special ability that each time you reload, your character will automatically throw the weapon (don't worry it'll come back to you) wherever you're currently aiming. Doing so and hitting any enemy with it, will cause a small amount of damage. So with that in mind, you'll first need to find/purchase a Tediore weapon, have it equip and then you'll need to search for any flying enemy.
The best enemy to try this on is a Rakk as they take one hit from the thrown weapon. Plus you're in luck as they're right at the start of the game in Southern Shelf. So either do some of the side mission and hope you get a Tediore gun as loot, or buy one from the town.
Once you've got one, head open area just outside of the town and you'll see some Rakk flying about. Simply take a shot at them and they'll start to fly towards you. As one gets close, tap to reload and hopefully you'll hit one of them. If not, just rinse and repeat until you do.
Token Gesture (20 points)
Redeemed 25 tokens
This achievement is linked to your characters Badass Rank. These ranks are gained by completing challenges given to you throughout the game. Upon completing one, you'll be given a new Badass Token which you can then put towards a new Badass Rank.
There's no limit on how many Tokens you can receive and Badass Ranks you can gain, so all you need to do is obtain and redeem 25 Tokens. To use a Token or see how close you are to the next Badass Rank, open your ECHO Device and tab across to the Badass Rank/Challenges page (Medal icon).
Unseen Predator (20 points)
Remained in Zero's Deception mode for ten seconds straight
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)
Build Buster (20 points)
Killed a Constructor without it ever building another bot
The earliest time you'll come across a Construct is during the side quest "Out of Body Experience". These guys are pretty tough and you may have a few issues in your earlier levels trying to bring one down at your current level and weapons to hand.
There's a little trick though. Once you've come face to face with one, kill all the initial enemies around him and then die. Once you respawn around the corner, the Construct will no longer build anymore robots. This now gives you the time to kill him without the worry of more enemies being spawned by him and missing out on the achievement.
How Do I Look? (25 points)
Unlocked 10 customization items
To unlock a customised item, you'll need either get it as a reward for gaining a new Badass Rank, so completing challenges, or find them via dropped/found loot. There are tons to collect for each Vault Hunter, so you're not limited to just 10 pieces.
Once you've found an item, make sure you go into your ECHO Device and select it with . Doing so will send it to the PTM Quick Change machine in Sanctuary. You must do this for it to count towards the 10 you're collecting.
Friendship Rules (10 points)
Revived someone from "Fight for Your Life!" that is on your friends list
This can be boosted very early on in the game. First things first, you'll need someone on your friends list who is playing the game and willing to join your game or you joining theirs. If you don't have anybody, please go HERE.
Once you've got a partner and are in a game, you'll now need to find an enemy. Going into "Fight for Your Life" mode is kind of like "Last Stand" in Call of Duty. When your health is depleted to 0, you'll die but go into "Fight for Your Life". Being in this mode, you can only crawl at a slow pace but you can still shoot your weapons. If you manage to kill an enemy before the new health bar is depleted, you'll be brought back to life and get your "Second Wind". But for this achievement, you don't want to do that.
Once you've found an enemy, either you or your partner stand there and let it kill you. Now have either yourself or your teammate walk up to each other and you'll then be prompted to press and hold to revive. Doing so will bring them back to life (when the green bar is full) without them having to shoot and kill someone and the achievement will unlock. Just make sure you revive them before their health bar runs out, otherwise they'll die indefinitely and respawn away from the fight.
*This can also be done with a second silver XBL account. Simply log them in, and then continue to follow the description above.
Better Than Money (15 points)
Purchased 5 items from the black market
The black market can be located on the east side Sanctuary (Hostel). The market is a place where you can purchase SDU upgrades. These SDU's will give you increased clips for all guns or either more spaces for your personal equipment bank.
To buy any of the SDU's you'll first need some Eridium which can be found via loot drops, treasure chests or completing missions. You'll now need a total of 20 Eridium to purchase 5 different things as the initial lot all cost 4 Eridium each. Below is a list of all the items for sale.
Backpack SDU
Bank SDU
Assault Rifle SDU
Grenade SDU
Pistol SDU
Launcher SDU
Shotgun SDU
SMG SDU
Sniper SDU
Up High, Down Low (15 points)
Gave Claptrap a high five
You'll first get a chance to high five Claptrap in Sanctuary where he's located in the north west corner of the map. He'll also offer you the mission "Claptrap's Secret Stash".
You'll first need to complete the mission he hands over to you, which isn't very hard. Once done, turn it in and then follow him. He'll only walk around the corner to another NPC. Once he does, get close and you can then press to give him a high five.
Simply press and Claptrap will then put his hand up in the air. Now aim up and press to melee his hand for it to count as a high five. It may take a couple of goes to connect, but once you do, he'll put his hand back down and the achievement will unlock.
If you miss it this time, there's plenty of opportunities later on where you can ask for as many high fives as you like.

Collect 10 pictures of Moxxi in Campaign of Carnage
Whilst in any of the new locations introduced in this DLC, there is a small chance that any enemy with the words 'Bad-ass' before its name will drop a framed pictures of Moxxi, upon dying.
The picture has a purple glow when it has dropped (Looks like PURPLE rare loot), and is a rather large, rectangular, somewhat unmissable object, amongst all the weapons and cash dropped from dead enemies, so you won't miss them when they drop.
Fastest way to farm these is at 'Pyro Pete's Bar', which can be accessed by travelling through 'The Beatdown' area. A lot of 'Bad-Ass' enemies spawn here if you activate the mission, 'Bar Room Blitz' within this area and you can activate the mission as many times as you want. Just start the mission, kill everyone inside the bar, including the large amount of 'Bad-Asses' that spawn here, hoping that 1 or more will drop a picture, if so pick it/them up, then save and quit. Then hit continue when you get to the main menu, and you will already be inside Pyro Pete's Bar when you spawn. You can then activate the mission again and continue the cycle until you have found 10 pictures to unlock the achievement.
*Note; This achievement is reportedly glitchy and may not unlock for some people after having found 10 pictures. Do not worry though, as it will unlock, you may just need to find more pictures. It may take somewhere in between 10 and 20 pictures to unlock the achievement, but it will unlock. Some report that there are 10 different pictures that must be collected. This is currently unconfirmed.

The Fall of Nakayama
The final fight against Jackenstein can be a bit tricky. Before you start you should have a Bee Shield and a good corrosive weapon (Conference Call works nicely). There are four parts to this battle. All very similar to the previous.
As soon as you jump down, unload on the electric power cells on it's back taking out 1/4 of his health. As soon as you take out one of them he will jump up and be protected by a shield. When this happens, you will need to take out a handful of Hyperion robots before he jumps back down. Unload on his second power cell when he does taking out another 1/4. He will jump back up to his previous spot and you will need to take care of more Hyperion robots. As soon as he jumps down again, use your most powerful weapon and unload in his chest/head region. His health will get bumped down from 50% to 25% then he'll die. Here is a basic video guide explaining what to do.

Complete all Hammerlock's Hunt side missions
There are a total of 13 side quests. Here is a list of all of them in the locations they can be activated at. They are all easy with the exception of "Voracidious the Invincible." The roadmap has a guide to a glitch to easily defeat him. There is also information for a select few quests below that can cause some confusion when trying to be completed.

I Like My Monsters Rare
You will end up having to farm for enemies. Load up a particular area with the type of enemies you need and kill them. When you do you need to save and quit then start the game up again. There will be more enemies for you to kill. Rinse and repeat until you finish the quest.
Egg on Your Face
A good tip though is if you see a white/cyan line sticking up from any distance it's probably an egg. Cyan is the only item that seems to show up across the entire map. It will take some driving but you will end up finding all 23 eggs by keeping your eyes open.
Urine, You're Out
This quest has to be done at night. It may be hard to tell what time it is but the spots are easy to spot. All of them are on claptraps stuff. Boomboxes, speakers, etc. You will however have to jump around on objects to reach some of them.
Follow the Glow
The waypoint that you are directed to is underground. You need to go down (using the map) and to the left, using the path that goes around and under. It looks like a handle (cup) on the left side of the map. Use the teleporter and the rest is easy.

Discover all named locations in Hammerlock's Hunt
This achievement is pretty straightforward. There are 5 sections to the DLC and you need to uncover the entire map. If the spot is shaded then it means it is not uncovered. If you think you are in a location that should uncover but it's not, you need to find a way to get above where you are currently standing. For example, the map won't reveal itself if you are in a cave. But if you are on top of the cave it will.

What does it mean? (15 points)
I can't even capture it on my camera
For this achievement, you'll need to head to The Highlands. Around the centre of the map, you should come across the Hyperion Extraction Plant. Head inside and you'll now want to fight your way all the way to the end and the back of the base. You should come a cliff edge.
Once you've found that, look over the edge and you'll see a new little ledge and tent down below. Simply jump off the cliff and down to the tent and you'll be presented with some audio by Handsome Jack or Claptrap and then the achievement will unlock.
Well That Was Easy (10 points)
Completed the mission "Shoot This Guy in the Face"
This is a side mission you'll pick up while playing through the "The Once and Future Slab" main mission in the Thousand Cuts area. On your way to the Buzzard Factory you should notice the guy on the cliff edge with a !above his head.
Find your way down to him and he'll offer you the "Shoot This Guy In The Face" side mission. Just make sure you shoot and kill the guy in the face to unlock the achievement.

Defeated Terramorphous the Invincible
Story related and cannot be missed.
You'll first encounter Terramorphous the Invincible at the end of your 1st playthrough when the mission "You. Will. Die. (Seriously)" will become available from Tannis after you've defeated the last boss and the credits have finished. He will be located at Terramorphous Peak in the Thousand Cuts area and he's not an easy boss.
To have any chance of beating him, you'll need to be at least level 50 and will need a very good Badass Rank. As well as that, you may need 3 other players on your team who are matched the same in level/stats. It's also best to have one of each character in some situations, because of certain Skills working best off each other.
One thing you'll have to make sure you don't do is let everyone die. If everyone in the arena fighting Terramorphous dies, his health will be reset back to 100%. Plus every time you want to fight him and enter his lair, it'll cost you 4 Eridium. Other than that, good luck.

Opened the chest at the bus stop in Fyrestone
Fyrestone is in the northern section of the Arid Nexus - Badlands area. This is the place where the original Borderlands 1 started. First you'll need to head to the red building to the north west of the town. Once you've found that, this is where the chest lies.
Now, simply jump up the building and onto the roof to find the chest. Simply open it to get some nice loot and the achievement will unlock.
