  Borderland Defender  You have defeated all bosses and are a powerful force to be reckoned with This description is misleading as even after defeating all the bosses you won't obtain the Platinum. For this game you need to unlock all 50 non-DLC trophies to get the Platinum.  Paid in Fyrestone  Completed 5 missions in the Arid Badlands Story related, can't be missed This will likely be the very first trophy you get as you have to do the first 5 missions anyway to progress through the story. It shouldn't take you more than 30mins to get this trophy and it will pop after turning-in the mission "Fix'er Upper".  Made in Fyrestone Completed all missions in the Arid Badlands See this page for a list of all the missions: Borderlands Wikia - Arid Badlands Missions
 Paid in New Haven Complete 5 missions in the Rust Commons Story related, can't be missed
 Made in New Haven Completed all missions in the Rust Commons See this page for a list of all the missions: Borderlands Wikia - New Haven Missions
 My Brother is an Italian Plumber Killed an enemy plumber-style To get this you have to kill an enemy by jumping on it. The simplest way is to Melee a Pup Skag until it has very little health left, then keep jumping on it until it dies. You will likely get bounced off so keep jumping in different directions. At a lower level it will take quite a long time to kill a Skag by jumping on it (low damage and it keeps moving a lot), so we recommend doing this when you are at a higher level. An easier enemy would be a Spiderant, since it doesn't move as much. Another way to get this is to start a Splitscreen game with a really low level character (e.g. level 2) as Player 1 and a high level (e.g. level 10) as Player 2, then go to the Skag den just outside of Fyrestone and jump on a Skag. By doing it this way, one or two jumps should kill a Skag and make the trophy pop. The earliest you can get this is during the mission "Skags At The Gate". You can also do this later on in the game with the small Sythids and Spiderants. If you still have problems then watch this video: Credit to Mr360Games for this video (Although this video is for the Xbox 360 version, the info is still valid).

 Speedy McSpeederton Raced around the Ludicrous Speedway in record time The description of this trophy says "record time", while the Achievement on our Xbox 360 sister site mentions 31 seconds instead, so we assume it's the same for the trophy. This is obtained in the far bottom left corner of The Dahl Headland. There are multiple Catch-A-Ride stations so don't worry about that. Use your boost whenever possible but don't use it in corners because this can easily cause you to crash or flip over. The timer starts and stops when you go under the triangle garlands. Stand at the start and immediately use your boost. Keep your second boost for when you turn left and go up a small hill as there will be a jump which you won't make without it. After the jump simply follow the turn and the trophy should pop shortly after passing the finish line. It should be easily done within the time limit if you don't run into any walls. Here's the location of the speedway and where the start and finish lines are:  Or use the following video: Return to the triangle garlands whilst still in your vehicle if you happen to mess up, then turn around and try again. If done in co-op then both players will get it providing they're both in the vehicle at the same time.  You call this archaeology? Applied an elemental artifact The earliest you can get an elemental artifact is when you get the Missions "Shock Crystal Harvest" and "The Legend Of Moe and Marley"; completing either will earn you one when you hand it in. The game will also notify you with a small tutorial message of what an elemental artifact is. There are two ways to equip an elemental artifact:
 Ding! Newbie Earned level 5 See Ding! Champion  Ding! Novice Earned level 10 See Ding! Champion  Ding! Expert Earned level 20 See Ding! Champion  Ding! Hardcore Earned level 30 See Ding! Champion  Ding! Sleepless Earned level 40 See Ding! Champion  Discovered Skag Gully Discovered Skag Gully Story related, can't be missed

 Ding! Champion Earned level 50 If you have all the trophy DLCs installed it is theoretically possible to get all the "Ding!" trophies in one Playthrough. For most people, however, it will take at least 1.5 playthroughs to get to level 50 as you won't earn enough XP on Playthrough 1. The highest level you're likely to reach on Playthrough 1 is approx 38, depending on how much XP grinding you do and if you have a class mod equipped that increases the amount of XP you earn. If you don't Power Level or use any exploits, then this trophy will pop around the time the Mission "Jaynistown: Getting What's Coming To You" becomes available on Playthrough 2, providing you have completed all the side-quests up to this point. Getting to level 40 isn't hard, it's getting to 50 that takes the most time as the XP gap between the two is massive. Getting to level 50 requires a total amount of 3,429,728 XP. Here are 3 very effective ways to get level 50 if you want to speed things up/cheat a little bit:
 Get A Little Blood on the Tires Killed 25 enemies by ramming them with any vehicle The earliest this trophy can be obtained is when you gain access to the Catch-A-Ride station in Fyrestone after Turning In the Mission "Bone Head's Theft". Once you have spawned a Runner, drive around for 5-10mins and run over every enemy you meet. Not every enemy can be killed instantly by driving over them, though, and running over a high level enemy can destroy your vehicle and kill you.  Rootinest, Tootinest, Shootinest Killed 5 Rakk in under 10 seconds The Rakk are those pesky birds in the sky that always attack in groups and look like demented Pterodactyls. The absolute best time to get this trophy is during the "Get The Flock Outta Here" Mission you obtain from a friend of Dr. Zed called Shep Sanders. Once you've got the Mission, spawn a Rocket Launcher Runner from the nearest Catch-A-Ride Station and head over to where the Waypoint is pointing to. Drive up to the Hive (the big hairy bump in the ground that looks like a red/black moonscape) which will lure the Rakk out. Drive back a few feet and get into your Turret by pressing  . Shoot at one of the Rakk to get their attention, wait for them to bunch up and dive bomb you, then fire away when they're right on top of you. Do it right and you will kill 5 in one shot. Alternatively, once you get attacked equip yourself with a powerful weapon, preferably with a big ammo magazine; Shotguns and Machine Guns/Combat Rifles are the easiest for this. This might not work with the first few encounters but you will very soon out-level them. You can always come back later if needed. We recommend doing this trophy whilst playing solo else your co-op buddy(ies) will likely screw this up for you.  Pandora-dog Millionaire  Earned $1,000,000 This trophy is cumulative and you don't need to have the entire $1 million on you at once. Pick up and sell everything you don't need and you will have this in no time. This trophy can also be done in conjunction with "Fence". You should easily obtain this in your first Playthrough. Credit to OnceFallen for pointing out the following: The absolute fastest way to get this is have a friend with a Max level character give you an item e.g. a class mode that’s worth a million or more, then all you have to do is sell it and the trophy will pop shortly afterwards. (Use this trick if for some reason you don't have $1 million after obtaining most of the trophies or if the trophy for some reason doesn't unlock). Manifest Density Pt. 2 has pointed out the following: Quote:
 Fence Sold 50 guns to a shop This trophy description is slightly misleading as there are no "shops" in the game per se, just Vending machines though they will say "shop" when you place your crosshair on them. There are 3 different Vending machines in the game and you can sell anything to all 3 of them. This trophy is cumulative, just play naturally, sell everything you don’t need and you should have this trophy early on.  Can't We Get BEYOND Thunderdome? Emerged victorious from an arena match This trophy has nothing to do with the Mad Moxxie's Underdome Riot DLC. An arena match is not the same as a standard duel. Instead you will need to enter an arena in the game and last 2-3 rounds without dying. The easiest way to get this trophy is to start a Splitscreen game but make sure that Player 2 is at level 1 then go to the arena in Fyrestone which is called the Fyrestone Coliseum (Credit to OnceFallen for the Player level info). Once in the arena go to the far end of the room and press the button there to bring up the options menu and select "Start Match". After you've both spawned have Player 1 equip their best weapon and kill the other player three times. Once the match is over and you've won, the trophy will pop. In case you don't know where the Fyrestone arena is, see this video: Credit to N1ghtElfM0hawk for this video (Even though this is for the PC version, the info is still valid). You can use any of the three arenas that are in the game but the Fyrestone arena is the first you will encounter.  Duel-icious Won a duel against another player This can be done online or in Splitscreen mode. For this to work you must have the Duel Requests option in the Options menu set to "Accepted". You can turn it off afterwards if want to. You can duel anywhere though pick your spot carefully as you don't want to be swarmed afterwards by enemies. To initiate a duel you both need to melee each other by pressing  . You can choose to duel it out or let the other person win by "killing" him/her or by leaving the "duel bubble". Also, see "Duelinator"  Group LF Header Rescued a groupmate from death in a co-op game Once you or your partner has no health left they will fall to the ground and ask for help. Go and stand near them then press and hold  to revive them.This can be tricky as it takes about 5secs to revive someone and the person who's doing the reviving can themselves end up needing reviving, if you get attacked. If you're playing co-op, you will get this at some point. You can also do this in Splitscreen by having the other player remove their shield then find some barrels and blow them and themselves up. However you do this, if you're the one being revived do not kill anything else or you will get a Second Wind and deprive the person reviving you of the trophy. If you are doing the reviving then don't try and kill anything or the revival process will stop and the other person will carry on bleeding out and eventually die and respawn.

 There's No "I" In "Team" Completed 15 missions in co-op There are two very easy ways to get this:
 And They'll Tell Two Friends Played in a co-op game with either an employee of Gearbox or someone who had this trophy If you don't have the Stackable Japanese release then this viral trophy is easily obtained as Borderlands is extremely popular. If you do have the Stackable release then you will have trouble getting it as the servers are near deserted so you may have to boost it. Whichever release you have, the trophy will pop during the load screen if you're joining someone or if someone joins you, then it will pop moments before they spawn. Also note that the description for this trophy is slightly misleading as it makes no mention of the fact you must play an online co-op game to get it. Playing offline with someone that has it won't do it. The description also has a typo in it. i.e it says "Played in a co-op game with either an employee of Gearbox or someone who had this trophy", it should say has.  Weapon Afficiondo Reached proficiency level 10 with any weapon type You gain proficiency levels by killing enemies. Every time you kill an enemy you gain a small amount of experience towards the proficiency of the weapon you're using, so the more you use a particular weapon the quicker you will level its proficiency. You probably want to use the weapon that suits your class. This will also benefit you because of the skills you have and the extra levels will add bonus damage and much more, helping you out later in the game. You cannot earn proficiency with Grenades or Melee attacks. This can also be earned in cop (credit to Lurkki91 for this info). The max proficiency level is 50. Level 10 requires 132,000 XP which shouldn't take too long.  Duelinator Won a duel without taking damage Once the duel has started, to win it you have to equip your most powerful weapon and kill the other player or by leaving the "duel bubble". If you can go up against a player who is at a lower level than you, then so much the better as they will die faster. You can get this at the same time as "Duel-icious". If you use the same method as "Can't We Get BEYOND Thunderdome?" then you can get both trophies in 6secs or less.  Facemelter Killed 25 enemies with corrosive weapons You won't start getting corrosive weapons until you level up to approx level 14 and can be recognised by the Green Biohazard symbol on the bottom right of the item description. Corrosive weapons are great against flesh and armour but hopeless against shields. Skags and Spiderants are the best things to kill as corrosive ammo eats right through them. Environmental damage from the Green Barrels that are scattered throughout the game also count towards this trophy. A great place to get this is in the Tetanus Warren as it is crawling with Spiderants. For a kill to count as an elemental kill, the enemy has to die from the continuous damage which that particular element causes after hitting an enemy, not the normal non-elemental damage (Credit to Tostigroover for this info). All elemental weapons have a chance of doing continuous damage to a target after shooting them. The higher the number on the elemental symbol (the maximum is x4), the higher the chance elemental damage will persist. Unless you go out of your way to avoid corrosive weapons/barrels, this trophy is impossible to miss.  1.21 Gigwatts Killed 25 Enemies with shock weapons You won't start getting shock weapons until you level up to approx level 7 and can be recognised by the Blue Lightning Bolt symbol on the bottom right of the item description. Shock Weapons are great against shields and fair against flesh but pretty hopeless against armour. Don't bother trying to kill Skags with shock weapons as it’s a futile gesture. Stick to killing Bandits and other low level enemies instead. Environmental damage from the Blue barrels that are scattered throughout the game also count towards this trophy.  Pyro Killed 25 enemies with incendiary weapons
 Master Exploder Killed 25 enemies with explosive weapons Elemental explosive weapons can be recognised by the Yellow "Explosion" symbol on the bottom right of the item description. The fastest way to get this trophy is to wait until you get access to the Catch-A-Ride Station then go nuts with the Rocket Launcher Runner. Environmental damage from the Yellow barrels that are scattered throughout the game also count towards this trophy, as do grenades with explosive mods.  There are some who call me...Tim Equipped a class mod for your character Class mods start appearing once you level up to level 18. To equip a class mod you first need to get one by either buying one from a Dr. Zed Vending machine, looting one from somewhere or be given one as a Mission reward. After you have obtained one go into your Inventory, scroll down to it and press  to equip it, back out of the Inventory to get your trophy but if you're given one as a mission reward, it may get auto equipped.A good place to get a free class mod is by completing the mission "Sledge: Battle For The Badlands".

 Fully Loaded Rescued enough Claptraps to earn 42 inventory slots MISSABLE This is the only truly missable trophy in the entire game. Whenever you rescue a Claptrap you will get a Backpack SDU and for it to count towards this trophy you must equip it. Whatever you do don't sell, trade or drop it else you'll need to either start a new character or use the second Playthrough to get any missed SDUs. Playthroughs 2 and 2.5 won't guarantee you get any SDUs you may be missing so make sure you get them all on Playthrough 1. You can get 3 more SDUs, one each from the Zombie Island, Secret Armoury and Claptrap DLCs but if you don't start them until Playthrough 2 or 2.5, then the chances of getting an extra SDU are extremely low. The Repair Kits look like small brown, narrow, rectangular boxes which shimmer with a green light when you are near them and will show as Money Bag on your Compass. A Green Trophy Icon will also appear above the Repair Kit when you're close enough. The trophy will pop after rescuing the Claptrap in the Crimson Fastness, providing you got all the others beforehand. This trophy isn't hard to get, you've just got to explore a little: Credit to Mr360Games for these videos (Even though these videos are for the Xbox 360 version, the info is still valid). If you want a Picture Guide, then see here: CLICKY (Credit to TheNukes and Jokerg31 for the guide). Do note though that this picture guide is not in the order you will find the Claptraps so cross reference them with the videos above. It is also possible, even without the DLCs, to get extra Backpack SDUs on Playthrough 2 (we don't know about 2.5) but it's a lot harder to do so as the reward defaults to a Grenade Mod. In theory you can trick the game into giving you an SDU instead of a Grenade Mod by filling your Backpack with as much stuff as it will hold, Saving and Exiting, reloading then Turning In the Mission and reloading if you don't get one. This method is not guaranteed so only use as a last resort. Notes:
 Truly Outrageous Killed an enemy with the Siren's action skill You will gain access to your action skill when you level up to level 5 and to use it, press  . The Siren's action skill is Phasewalk which allows you to run around unnoticed and super fast for a few seconds. Phasewalk has two moves i.e a powerful Melee attack and the resulting Phase Blast will do considerable damage to anyone/anything that gets too close. Unlike the other Action Skill trophies you only have to get one kill, not 15. Go to the Skag den outside of Fyrestone and weaken an enemy until it has only a sliver of health left, then hit it with a Melee attack whilst Phasewalking and the subsequent explosion from exiting Phasewalk will kill them. Do note that whilst using Phasewalk, you will not be able to jump or use any weapons other than your default Melee attack.  Careful, He Bites Killed 15 enemies with the Hunter's action skill You will gain access to your action skill when you level up to level 5 and to use it, press . The Hunter’s action skill is his pet Bloodwing. As with "Truly Outrageous" you will want to weaken an enemy first then activate your action skill. Early on in the game the Bloodwing isn't very powerful so this trophy will take a little while to get. Note: There is a really annoying A.I/path-finding glitch with the Bloodwing where it will not lock onto an enemy or return to you properly and will just fly in loops or zigzag patterns until it expires. Unfortunately there's no fix for this glitch, just try and use it only in wide open spaces.  Reckless Abandon Killed 15 enemies with the Berserker's action skill You will gain access to your action skill when you level up to level 5 and to use it, press . The Berserker's action skill is called "Berserk" which allows the player to become super powerful for a few seconds and beat your enemies to a pulp with your fists.  is Brick’s Left Hook and  is is a Rapid Jab. Whilst you're going Berserk you will not be able to use any of your other weapons but to compensate for this you become highly resistant to damage.Brick is the hardest of all the characters to use. He prefers close quarters combat but most enemies use long/medium range weapons and because of this you will take far more damage than the other three characters do early on in the game.  Down in Front! Killed 15 enemies with the Soldier's action skill You will gain access to your action skill when you level up to level 5 and to use it, press . The Soldier's action skill is his Scorpio Turret which has a fair range, can shoot at a flat 180 degree angle and up about 20-25 degrees, it also has a shield barrier up front to protect you whilst you're crouching. When you first get it the turret isn't very powerful, so we recommend weakening an enemy first then letting the turret finish it off.

  12 Days in Pandora  Mastered the technology of Pandora This trophy requires you to reach a certain amount of kills with different weapons and elements. You can see the progress of this trophy by going to your Missions tab and pressing to open the Challenge tab. All of them can be done in any order so don't worry if you get one before the other. You also can get this in co-op (credit to Lurkki91 for this info). The requirements are:
 Wanted: Sledge Killed Sledge Story related, can't be missed
Wanted: Krom Killed Krom Story related, can't be missed
Wanted: Flynt Killed Flynt Story related, can't be missed

 Destroyed the Hive Killed the Rakk Hive Story related, can't be missed
Destroyed the Destroyer  Killed the Vault Boss Story related, can't be missed
 United We Stand Defeated the Rakk Hive, the Vault Boss, Sledge, Krom or Flynt in a co-op game You only have to kill one of these bosses to get the trophy, not all of them, and it doesn't matter if you do it online or off. See the individual "Wanted" and "Destroyed" Trophies for strategies on how to defeat each boss. It may also be possible to get this trophy by revisiting one of the above bosses you've already killed as most will repspawn after saving, exiting and reloading your save. It is possible to get this trophy without actually fighting one of the bosses. You can just join a game where someone has already killed one of them and has the mission ready to Turn In and the trophy should pop (Credit to BigDfan228 for this info). The description for this trophy lists the bosses in the wrong order of appearance, the order we've listed them in is the correct one. You can use the same tactics as with the "There's No "I" In "Team" trophy to get this one. Do note though that this trophy may not pop if you kill the Destroyer whilst in splitscreen.  You're on a Boat! I bet you never thought you'd be here This is obtained in Treacher's Landing. In the south-eastern most corner of the map you will find a docked boat, jump on it and the trophy will pop seconds later.

 Glitched trophies, online issues and boosting Providing you have the 1.05 patch installed then technically no trophies are glitched but there have been numerous reports over the last couple of years of some trophies randomly not unlocking when they should. If a trophy fails to unlock then see Terminator's thread here for advice: Borderlands save file corruption cure, prevention and glitch removal, we also recommend you read this link before you start playing so you know what to expect bug-wise. Playing in local Splitscreen is also dubious as it has been reported that some trophies will refuse to unlock if you're Player 2. If any trophies fail to pop whilst you are Player 2, then you will have to either start a new game or move onto Playthrough 2 or 2.5 to get any that fail to pop. The most commonly reported glitched/temperamental trophy is "Fully loaded". Most of the time people are either missing a Claptrap or haven't activated the SDU that each Claptrap gives you. The other times are when something does actually go screwy but if you have the Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, Secret Armoury of General Knoxx and Claptrap’s New Revolution DLCs installed, then you have 3 additional chances to get another SDU to make up for the one(s) that didn’t register. The online for this game is almost completely broken with numerous issues including Save File corrupting hacked items, communication issues and a near useless in-game friends list. To get around these issues see Terminator's thread above we've linked to. If you want to boost any trophies then post here: Trophy Boosting Thread If you just want to play with someone for fun then post here: Co-op Partners Thread If your current gear isn't powerful/strong enough then request legal replacements here: Item Trading Thread Because the in-game Friends List doesn't work very well, inviting people is difficult but there are two ways you can boost any trophies/meet with friends and a potential workaround as well:
This is the workaround but we don't know how reliable it is as Terminator has only successfully done it twice so far:
If you find the server keeps timing out before either person gets to join then try the following:
We can't take full credit for this workaround as it's something Terminator found on the official Borderlands forums some years ago but only got around to testing it out recently. If the originator of this is reading, here's to you  !When in co-op the only things that players share are Cash and XP, nothing else. Because of problems with viral glitches and dodgy items, make sure you backup your saves before you play in co-op mode and don't pick up anything that doesn't come out of either an enemy or a chest. locker, box or pile. If you only play with a trustworthy friend or by yourself then you don’t have to worry so much but it still pays to be careful. To have a friend join you or you them, both players must be in the game itself as the invite system is as messed up as the in-game Friends List. If you decide to not boost any trophies and just want get them normally then do not join a game if "Keep Your Insides Inside" appears as the active quest whilst looking through the available games. This is because it's a viral glitched quest that cannot be completed in any way. If you do happen to pick up KYII, then see Terminator's anti-glitch thread that’s linked to at the top of this section for info on how to get rid of it legally. The stackable release is immune to the KYII and hacked item bugs for reasons explained in the anti-glitch thread. The servers for the Japanese Stackable release are separate to those that the rest of the world uses. Because of the server separation you can't invite or join someone who doesn't have a copy of this version of the game. The Japanese servers are almost completely dead so boosting is recommended. The annoying thing though is the in-game Friends list is shared between both releases BUT if no-one on your Friends List has the Stackable release, you won't be able to join or invite them  .It doesn't matter how many people you play with as you will still get the co-op trophies, Borderlands isn't fussy in that respect. You can earn all the trophies except the Viral one in offline Splitscreen/LAN co-op but there is a caveat i.e some trophies will only pop for Player 1, not Player 2. At the moment the only ones we know of (other than the action skill and level up ones) are the "Wanted", "Destroyed" and "United We Stand" trophies but there may be others. If anyone can confirm if any other trophies are Player 1 specific, then please let us know so we can update the guide (Credit to Tostigroover for this info). When online, play nice i.e:
Like every other RPG, you earn XP for by killing things, completing missions etc but unlike other RPGs (that we know of) you also get XP for completing challenges. As of the 1.05 patch, the max level cap you can get if you don't have any DLC installed is 58 but if you have the Secret Armoury of General Knoxx DLC installed, then the level cap is 69. Please note that the info relating to the 1.05 patch does not apply to the Japanese Stackable release as it never got the 1.04 or 1.05 patches. Because of the 1.05 patch you can get the "Ding! Over Levelled" trophy without the Secret Armoury of General Knoxx DLC being installed. Credit to greenzsaber for confirming this. All missions are colour coded from Light Grey to Red: Trivial (Light Grey) - These are extremely easy, you won’t even break a sweat. Normal (Green) - Nothing too difficult but be prepared. Tough (Brown) - Not recommended but do-able if you have the right gear and a little bit of luck. Impossible (Red) - This is suicide, don't even think about it! A mission is considered Trivial if its level number is four levels below your current level, Normal Missions are usually one or two levels above or below, Tough Missions are ones that are two-three levels above and Impossible Missions are 4 or more levels above your current level. Enemies that are too powerful for you will have a Skull next to their name, Enemies that aren't impossible to kill but are still very hard to kill will have a triangle with an "!" in it. If you run into either of these symbols, run/drive like mad in the other direction. Last edited by Terminator; 01-10-2013 at 11:55 AM. Reason: Fixed broken link. |
