Borderlands 3 - Guide to Trophies and Achievements
Bronze

Just like at parades
Unlock 10 heads or skins for the characters.
There are exactly three ways you can get skins for your characters:
- first, you will get them as a drop after defeating any enemy. In this case, make sure you get close to the object in question and press the
to unlock it within your inventory; - Secondly, the skins can be unlocked at the Moxxi Slot Machine. Go to "Sanctuary", your spaceship, and reach the Moxxi bar, where you'll find a slot machine that could let you win these cosmetic items;
- Finally, the skins can be purchased from Crazy Earl, a shopkeeper that you will find in the Cargo area, on the lower floor of the Sanctuary. Crazy Earl will sell you all the cosmetic items you need, exchanging them for Eridium;
Fortunately, on your way to level 50, you won't have any difficulty in accumulating the 10 skins required, on the contrary, you'll find many more. The only attention you'll have to have is to collect all the cosmetic items that the various enemies might release after their killing.
A quarter of a car at a time
Unlock 10 parts by stealing vehicles.
You will get your first vehicle after completing the main mission entitled "Cult Following". How do I unlock 10 parts for your vehicle? Simple: You simply steal your opponents' vehicles and return them to the "Catch-a-Ride" station. As soon as your vehicle reaches the station, you will be able to get the new part.
Make sure that the vehicle to be stolen is equipped with a different weapon from those you already have, or that the same vehicle has a different conformation from those in your possession: only in this way you will be sure to get your hands on a definitely new piece.
Remember that only the new parts will count towards the trophy. Our advice is to devote yourself to it only when you have completed the main quest, having all the planets available: travel from world to world, looking for vehicles that mount unusual pieces, take them to the nearest station and repeat the operation until you unlock the target.
Generous customer
Tip Moxxi.
You will find Moxxi inside the Sanctuary spaceship, the one where there are also slot machines. In this room there will be a tip box. As soon as you find it, come closer, press the
and leave a $100 tip.
Should you find it difficult to find the tip cassette, please use the video attachment to help you find it.
No butts in the face, guys.
Win a duel.
This trophy can be obtained in both online and offline co-op (in splitscreen mode, so to speak), and it doesn't matter if you are playing in Cooperation or Coopetition mode.
To unlock the following trophy, perform the following actions. Walk towards a player > press the button
to trade > select the object to trade > the same player who owns the object will have to select the "Duel" option in the menu > the other player will also have to select the same option in the menu.
At this point, both players will face off in a duel to find out who will take possession of the item. If you don't have co-op players, simply own a second joypad, create a temporary guest account, and then follow the steps above.
Don't go towards the light
Reanimate another player.
To get the trophy in question, all you'll have to do is head towards an injured player and press the necessary button to revive him. Hurry, otherwise the character in question will die and respawn, forcing you to wait for a new opportunity.
Again, you can create a temporary guest account with a second joypad in your possession to make it easier for you.
Friendly friends at gunpoint!
Send an item to a friend.
[TROPHY ONLINE]
Follow the steps below: Access the Pause Menu (by clicking the Options button) > click the Social option > press the R1 button three times to select the "Mail" item > press the button
to send the email > press the
to select an object > press the
to select a friend from your list > press the
to send the invitation.
If you don't have friends, you can also create a second account and use the one for the trophy.
Hot potato
Win a slot machine grenade.
To get this trophy, you'll have to go to the bar in Moxxi, at the Sanctuary spaceship, where you'll find four slot machines. Depending on the outcome of the bets you make, you can get various prizes or, in case you miss, a grenade. Well, the achievement in question requires the latter option to occur.
Since it may take some time (and attempts), our advice is to accumulate at least $10,000, and to use all four slot machines present, so as to reduce the waiting time.
If you don't want to waste money unnecessarily, create a rescue and place it in the cloud to download it as a trophy and easily get your money back.
Action against the remote is one thing...
Get a perfect score at the range in any difficulty.
First, you must find the firing range. You will find it in Sanctuary, and it will be highlighted by a duck shaped marker. Once there, you'll find two consoles to interact with: the first will explain the instructions to follow, while the second will make the targets you'll have to hit appear.
Select the "Normal" difficulty which, to be overcome, will ask you to hit 15 targets in 20 seconds; if you miss any of them, you'll have to start all over again from the beginning.
Our advice is only one: get the trophy in Co-op! Obviously only the player who has activated the target console will unlock the target, but the other characters will make life much easier, being able to cover all the field where the various targets may appear.
If you want to achieve this by playing alone, we recommend that you wait until the end of the game, when you are in possession of very precise weapons capable of inflicting large amounts of damage.
My name is Earl
Buy 20 cosmetic items from Crazy Earl.
Crazy Earl is a merchant that you can find at the Sanctuary spaceship, from which you can buy different skins and cosmetic items. To buy what you need for the trophy, you will need a certain amount of Eridium, a bonus currency that can be obtained in various ways in the world of Borderlands 3 , among others:
- When you reach the first vault in the main mission "The Rampager", you will get an ability to open Eridium crystals with your fists;
- From purple crystals: you can open, always with your fists, the purple crystals (they look like mineral deposits), which you will find while exploring the various planets. They appear often on Pandora, you've probably already seen many of them during previous missions in history, when you couldn't open them yet;
- From the Consecrated enemies: They will begin to appear after the main mission "The Guns of Reliance", at Eden-6. After defeating an Anointed One, this will become a purple crystal, which you can break through with a melee attack;
- From missions: you will often receive Eridium as rewards for completing main and secondary missions. Obviously it will be quite small amounts, but it is definitely a good start;
- From the Crew Challenges: some crew challenges (green icons on the map) release Eridium, in particular the legendary Hammerlock hunts
Slaughterhouse No. 3
Complete all Circle of Slaughter.
The Circle of Slaughter are secret places where you'll face several waves of enemies with increasing difficulty. In order to complete one, you'll have to kill every single enemy in 5 waves. Repeat this procedure for the three Circle of Slaughter present in Borderlands 3 it and the trophy will be yours.
You can measure yourself against this challenge either alone or in co-op, but be sure you're playing in "Cooperation" mode.
A guide with the precise location of the three Circle of Slaughter is currently being worked on, stay tuned so you don't miss our updates.

Where there is barrel, there is home
Kill an enemy with an explosive barrel.
Chances are you'll get this trophy without even realizing it. You simply have to hit a barrel and blow it up, killing at least one enemy. You can either shoot or hit the barrel in other ways, the important thing is that the opponent in question receives the final blow right from the barrel. Precisely for this reason, if you are in the presence of enemies with a lot of life, weaken them before blowing them up.
I feel like punching something
Kill an enemy by stabbing him with a bayonet.
Again, you won't have to work too hard to find weapons with a bayonet: you'll find several of them on your way to level 50. Once you get possession of them, use a melee attack to kill an enemy with the blade of your firearm.
A great scotch
Kill two or more enemies with one sticky grenade.
To get this trophy, you must first obtain a sticky grenade. You can get it either as a drop from enemy kills or, in a much simpler way, you can buy them from distributors called "Ammo Dump". Be careful, of course, that these are sticky grenades, and not just grenades.
At this point, all you have to do is use this weapon to kill at least two enemies simultaneously. The best place and way to complete the task is to go to Pandora, at the area called The Droughts. Take a look around and you'll surely run into a group of Skags of level (about four of them), not far from the point of rapid travel.
Once you find the enemies, wait for them to regroup and throw the sticky grenade: the trophy should be yours. If you're dealing with stronger enemies, weaken them a bit first, so you can be sure the grenade will be the final blow.
Loyalty Card
Get a Producer Reward from each gun manufacturer.
To achieve this, all you have to do is make 100 kills with all the weapons you will be given by the various manufacturers. As soon as you have completed the task, you will receive a reward via email, which you can redeem by following the steps explained below: Pause Menu > Social > Press the R1 key until you reach the "Mail" option > Press the X key to redeem the reward (which will go directly into your inventory, so make sure you have enough space).
The weapon manufacturers in Borderlands 3 are:
- Atlas
- Cov
- Dahl
- Hyperian
- Jakobs
- Maliwan
- Tediore
- Torgue
- Vladof
They are not the only manufacturers in the game, but these nine are the only ones who will assign you weapons; all the others will give you other parts of equipment.

Stop beating yourself up!
Lie down with a grenade or an explosion.
The description of the trophy is quite explanatory: you will literally have to blow yourself up, either with a grenade or by shooting at an explosive barrel. Be careful to kill every other enemy in the area first, as after the explosion, you'll only have very little life left.
Our advice is, given the extreme ease of obtaining the trophy, to devote yourself to it even when the plot is finished.
All that glitters is gold
Use a gold key.
Follow the steps we will now show you: open the Pause Menu > Select "Options" > Social > SHiFT. If you have not already registered on SHiFT, create an account: this way you can use the codes to redeem special rewards.
To get a golden key, at this point, all you have to do is use one of the codes listed below:
- ZFKJ3-TT3BB-JTBJT-T3JJJT-JWX9H

- Z65B3-JCXX6-5JXW3-3B33J-9SWT6
- RWBJ-ST6XR-CBFKT-JT3J3-FRXJ5
Once you have entered one of these codes, all you have to do is press the R1 button until you reach the "Mail" section, where you will find a message that will assign you the key in question.
At this point, you need a place to use the subject in question. Go to the Sanctuary spaceship, and with the golden key you'll be able to open the golden box you'll find (it's marked on the game map with a marker).
It is not yet clear whether golden keys are also available in offline mode. If there are updates on this, we will update this item.
