How To Get Around Borderlands' 'Robot Revolution' Trophy Bug
Written Friday, October 01, 2010 By Richard Walker
View author's profile

Some of you might have encountered a bug with the trophies in 'Claptrap's New Robot Revolution', which apparently applies to the following five awards:

  • A: “What a party!”
  • B: “It’s so realistic”
  • C: “Bobble-trap”
  • D: “The Lubricator”
  • E: “Tourist” 

To avoid experiencing the bug, you have to unlock them in the order they're listed above and if you unlock the first of the five trophies in any order besides this one, the others above them on the list won't unlock like they're supposed to.

So, say you unlock trophy B and continue to unlock C, D and E, you'll be unable to unlock trophy A. Even worse, if you're unlucky enough to unlock trophy E first, you'll be unable to unlock trophies A, B, C and D as a result.

That is until the forthcoming Title Update 1.50 patch is released later in October, which will retroactively award any trophies that you've already fulfilled the requirements for. So don't fret if you've fallen victim to the trophy bug, because it'll all be fixed and you'll get the awards you've earned when the patch arrives later in the month.

@3 Wow didnt knew that. But i wasnt really interested in socom, now borderlands... I was so excited for this game that when i finally got it i was filled with disapointment, and after recently losing a lvl 61 character because of, guess what, a glitch!! I just cant find any reason to go back to this game.

*facepalm*

Fantastic. I've left my PS3 on two nights in a row trying to get this. Now I find out I won't be able to unlock one of them since I got "It's so realistic" first. Maybe they should have also not made the collectables to have the drop rate of the rare weapons too. Just a thought.

@7 HERE HERE

Not the end of the world people, it is pretty much impossible to produce any software without a glitch or two.

First, do you have a link to prove that Slant Six was fired by Sony? Because they released another Socom game for the PSP this year.

Second, it's not impossible to produce software without glitches. Plenty of developers do it, especially when it comes to trophies. Other developers are consistently sloppy.

If this game wasn't so damn fun, I would've turned it in, or thrown it away, months ago. Its really its only saving grace when it comes to these consistent and hindering glitches.

Hell, Gearbox is yet to fix issues that plague Borderlands since its release. But I guess they're so busy making, I mean fixing, new ones... heh.

Oh well, I got "Its so realistic!" first, last night, but I don't care. I'm continuing on. The new DLC is fantastic and, since they're random drops, they're really is no way to get the trophies in that order without constantly resetting and/or saving/loading old saves.

@olsen77 & drkrZEN : I also got it's so realistic first yet the others popped after, so it might for you. I think it's just getting Tourist that blocks the other trophies; posted in the forums about it.

@7
Speak the truth, brother!
They could be like stupid EA Montreal and release a totally bugged DLC trophy setup.... and NEVER fix it!! Like Army of Two : The 40th Day. At least this WILL be fixed.

so... should i just go for all the trophies, wait for the patch and let that unlock em for me?

cos if i meet the requirements and the patch doesn't work i'll be pissed.

what makes it worse is the first trophy on the list is the hardest to get!

Wow...lucky I haven't bought the DLC and played it yet to be fucked over by GearBox for the...umm...8th time? Borderlands is crap and the only thing that makes me feel like playing it is to finish it...then I go play a good game.

Glad I'm too busy with Dead Rising 2 to give a crap about this or any other game really.

Now if you'll all excuse me, Zombies await me.

As long as you do not get the Tourist Trophy, the order in which you unlock the other collectible trophies doesn't matter. I did them out of order and still got them all to pop. Just make sure you do not unlock the Tourist Trophy!!!

@7 If this were Facebook, I'd like this.

@15 + 16 Don't bother waiting for the patch because the criteria being met will still register but you'll just have to wait till the patch for the official ping ;)

@9 Slant Six was restaffed, look on Google. Plus it is impossible to make a game without glitches; I bet I could find one in any game you throw at me. But I see where you are coming from it's just some developers are more sloppy than others and it's a lot harder for RPG makers.

I LOVE THIS GAME! And who cares about this trophy glitch as long as they're releasing a patch that will fix it in a short while. At least they can be bothered unlike some developers. The thing is RPG's are so big that it impossible to make them without glitches, so just lay of them a bit.

@27 I honestly don't know. Not to sound hypocritical but I'm waiting for the update before I start the DLC (which I've already downloaded) because I'm level 61 and the next update increases the level cap to 69. If I completed it now none of the exp would be carried over and level me up :)
