Borderlands titles typically make for some really enjoyable completionist runs, and Borderlands 4 should be no different. The latest entry in the franchise takes players away from Pandora and plunges them into the open-world trappings of Kairos. This transition is paired with new traversal abilities, such as a grappling hook, and of course, a fresh cast of Vault Hunters. Ahead of the game’s release, its achievements list has surfaced online. So, if you’re looking for a sneak peek at some of the content, here’s our Borderlands 4 achievements and Trophy guide.
All Borderlands 4 Achievements & Trophies
Borderlands 4 features a total of 35 achievements, excluding the 100% completion Platinum Trophy. Before diving into their requirements, consider this a spoiler warning, since some of the Trophy descriptions give away yet-to-be-revealed in-game content.
With that said, BL4 packs in Trophies tied to main story content, side missions, vehicles, map locations, bosses, and maps. There are also more traditional achievements linked to activities like tipping Moxxi and finding a cutout that bears the likeness of Tannis. The most interesting of the bunch allude to Destiny-style world events and bosses, and specific mission types categorized under ‘Outbounder,’ ‘Auger,’ and ‘Electi.’ Lastly, there’s also an achievement titled ‘Widely Beloved Mascot'(questionable), which can be unlocked by completing all Claptrap missions.
