challenge accepted not unlocking
i'm having trouble getting this achiefement to unlock. i've gotten open wide to rank 5 to unlock shotgun sniper. i've gotten splish splash to rank 5 to unlock catch a rocket challnge.despite the fact that Surprise (a discoverable sniper challenge) was already unlocked when No Scope No Problem was only at level 3, i got that to lefel 5 just in case that was the problem. Nope.

all previously unlocked challenges are at rank 1 or beyond.

jenkins has been found... anyone else know what else i should check?

Look it up. It doesn't require specific challenges, like Jenkins, just the basic things to at least level 1. Powersliding into things and killing them for one example, getting second wind with electricity dot is another. Stuff like that.
1) Co-op challenges: reviving, trade & duels.
2) No offense, but - do you even own BL2 on Steam?

I guess there's a bug with this achievement (read it a while ago here & gb forums). In order to unlock it, meaning that you already achieve at least lvl 1 in the challenges, you have to level up another challenge and you will get the achievement (happened to me, finished the rocket ones, then while playing i leveled up another one - No Scope, No Problem - and then i got the achievement).

@☼ Blissful ☼ thank you. as i mentioned in my post i leveled up no scope no problem two levels to rank 5 with no luck. i'll try leveling up one more challenge to see if it will help.

i guess i should have mentioned that i did look up my challenges up and down to see if everything was ranked up inlucing co op and AoE fight for your life stuff. so all that's covered.

Every challenge from Enemies to Miscellaneous needs to be completed to at least level 1.
There are 114 challenges in total. Jimmy Jenkins is one of them. Trading, dueling and reviving a team member are included in this. (1, 1, 5 respectively needed)
Scroll down the list. Anything still 'undiscovered' or not completed to level 1 will need to be dealt with. Sometimes things can get 'stuck' in the challenges - including when prestiging. Try closing down the game completely and restarting. That can cure the problem.

As has been noted, Shotgun Sniper is unlocked when Open Wide! is maxed. The game has been keeping track of kills that count towards this but you do not get to see them until Open Wide! has been maxed.
The other 'undiscovered' challenges you find are unlocked in a similar way, but not necessarily to level 5 for the 'trigger' challenge to make them visible.

@z00t thanks for your response. i've gone through the entire list of challenges quite a few times and have at least level 1 in each category. i've unlocked all undiscovered challenges and they all meet the requirement. very frustrating as this achivement is so time consuming. i've quit and relaunched the game, tried to verify it. neither worked.

i've gotten the achiefement before on the PS3 on 2 different accounts with no problems.

guess i'll have to wait it out. all i have left is thresher thrashed and finish UVHM.

@criticalpixel Have you managed to get it? I'm having the same issue.

It may 'click' if you complete some other challenge - an existing challenge to the next level, or map challenge etc. That might force the game to check through the challenges and finally notice that 'oops, this achievement is now complete.' It can be a bit buggy on occasions.
