Achievement Glitch
I was trying to get all the achievements for the game. The last base game achievements I needed were "Ultimate Vault Hunter" and "Getting A Little On The Side". So I checked my quest list and made sure I finished all the quests, and the only one I was missing was the Cistern of Slaughter in Promethia. When I turned in the quest I got Ultimate Vault Hunter, but not Getting A Little On The Side.

"Getting A Little On The Side" is glitched for me also. I've compared my list to a trusted trophy guide maker and have them all except for Cistern of Slaughter, which doesn't ever seem to go to my completed list.

Same issue here, Ultimate Vault Hunter popped for me but I still have Getting a little on the side locked. It's so annoying as there is nothing else i can do. I guess I'll buy the new DLC and hope one of the new achievements gives this one a nudge out as well. Otherwise waiting on a patch that will likely never come.

The slaughter rounds are bugged had to do all 3 in one sitting then it popped plus getting a little on the side but that was before Arms Race was installed, I had also completed killing Zotan prior to this as well, not sure if that counts though.

Defeat all of Hammerlock's Legendary Hunts.
Defeat all of Zer0's Targets of Opportunity.
Clear all the Eridian Proving Grounds.
Complete all the Circles of Slaughter.
Discover all named locations on Promethea.
Discover all named locations on Pandora.
Complete all Side Missions.
Decipher all of the Eridian Slabs.

All of these are bugged for me. Finished the main game with all of them completed, didn't get the achievements.

I can help with the Eridian Slabs one. Go back to Sanctuary and keep spamming Examine on the one in Tannis lab, eventually the achiev will pop

Try what this person said, its what I had to do for the slab achievement.

Any luck on unlock "Getting A Little On The Side" for you guys/gals? Its the only one I need.
NihlusGreen Nov 15, 2020 @ 2:33pm 
I don't see how. There are no replayable missions (but maybe something will trigger in the DLC?) and no save files.
allumcarl Nov 16, 2020 @ 12:24am 
Still no luck with a Little on the side but I'm sure its the Slaughter missions that are causing it. I've completed them endless times now but they arent on my completed list

For what it's worth I managed to unlock all achievements. The ones that gave me grief were the "Tales From The Eridian Slab" achievement.

I had to go back to the first aid room in sanctuary and spam the eridian artifact stone and after 10 or so goes the achievement popped.

Another, one with problems was "Master of all You Survey" that one was specifically painful. As I had to revisit every planet one at a time without exiting the game for the achievement to pop. (that is I could do one planet and exit then come back and do the next planet without quitting and so on.

The "Getting a little on the Side" was also tricky as two missions don't reveal themselves until you revisit an area and for some reason did not show up on the map. I had to painfully compare the list of completed achievements with a list of all achievement I found on-line to find the exact two I was missing.

It is a pain in the butt; however, you may just have to go through the trouble of comparing all the missions you have completed with a list of all missions to see which one you are actually missing.

Good luck!

I'm fairly convinced that joining someone else's game wrecks the trackers.

I compared it to Power Pyx's list, no dice.

Any updates on this? I submitted a ticket to BL3.

Starting to think that they bug it on purpose so we rack up the play hours trying to get them to pop.

Moves their rankings up the charts the longer we are wasting time with bugged achievements.

Yep, bugged for me too. Submitted a ticket to Gearbox, just 'cause. Starting to believe they don't give a crap though.
