[BASE GAME -Lynchwood] Borderlands 2 Badass Challenges / Legendary Weapon / 3rd Party Tools Guide [Discontinued]

I feel I won't remember almost all of the secrets and tools I use for Borderlands 2, with the Pre-Sequel taking up all of my time. This guide is to help me keep track as well as assist with the various location based challanges. Later on, I will put tips on completing various challanges (All techniques will be legit, i.e NOT using said 3rd party programs to modify the game) and hopefully finish with a list of ALL the Legendary Gear in the game and their various effects.

Introduction

This guide is meant as a reference for me as once the Pre-Sequel is released, I will probably forgot almost all of it.

This guide includes a walkthrough of the Badass Challenges which will NOT use cheats to acheive, they will have legit strategies. Any tips on completing said challenges are welcome and I will name you in the edit.

NOTICE: This guide IS going to have info on various hacks that can be used with the PC version of Borderlands 2, suggestions on various programs is WELCOME. If you have a problem with the use of 3rd Party programs or cheating on a game, do NOT post it in the comments. I will delete any comments involving people hating on such gameplay and all it will do is waste both of our time.

*SPOILERS AHEAD, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED*

Title isn't enough? Fine then.

This guide will contain various information on Bosses, Loot, and Locations in the game. It is meant for Endgame play and I will not warn when something comes up as the nature of the guide is spoilers.

--Area Based Challenges, Loot, and Trivia--

-Badass challenges

are new to the Borderlands series and can be found in the Character Menu Tab.

Each challenge, when completed, gives Badass Points. When the player obtains enough of these points, they receive a Badass Token which can be redeemed in the same menu for small passive bonuses that affects all of the players characters. These bonuses stack and, with enough time, can max at 255% bonuses.

When you enter an area, go ahead and scan the list for any unusual challenges.

Area Based Loot

includes items such as the Lascaux, which is generated on the map everytime you start the game, and boss loot, such as The Infinity, which is dropped by a unique enemy.

Loot will follow this format:

Can't Feel A Thing

Description: Stand in the corrosive ooze for thirty seconds without falling into Fight for Your Life.

Strategy: Out in the corrosive lake immediately to your right as you walk in there is 3 sets of broken rails.

End of the Line

Challenges

Description:Under the last overpass, before reaching the Boss Arena. Do not jump down else you'll have to make your way all the way back.

Master of All He Surveys

Save the Turrets

Description: Complete the fight at the gate before the Loaders destroy the tower turrets.

Strategy: This is one of those challenges where your best bet is to kill things before they kill things. If you are having a hard time, contine the progress or start True Vault Hunter mode to level up more, you can always re-select your character to change the difficulty back and do this challenge.

Pipe Dreaming

Description: Walk on top of the Eridium pipeline.

Strategy: First off, go across the bridge down the road from the fast travel. Head straight from the bridge and look for this vertical pipe on the right edge of the map.

'Twas Slag Killed the Beast

Description: Find King Mong and kill him while he is slagged.

Strategy: Rather self explanatory, somehow slag King Mong and then kill him. You don't need a slag weapon for it to count.

Loot

Name	Type	Dropped By	Special Effect	Notes	Farming Strategy

The Gear is the One Ring.

Make your way all the way back to Mount Hellsfront and to Geary with this item, let him slap you. This is Geary stealing the Gear from you (Make sure you don't have any auto retaliation i.e Spike Shield). He will suicide into the lava, which will cause three Rakks to fly in and drop 3 red chests on the cliff behind where Geary is. But be warned, there is a restriction to this quest

You then jump across the shack roofs all the way back to the other side of the ship, for your trouble, the second Vault Symbol and another Gun Chest.

Make Boom Go Boom

Description: Kill Boom and Bewm without any players taking a direct shot from Big Bertha.

Strategy: This one is pretty easy, when you enter the boss area, head directly to your right. There is a giant ship part sticking out of the ground



Hide behind this and destroy Big Bertha first, then you are free to roam.

Fireproof

Description: Kill Flynt without any players taking damage from his dragon breath.

Strategy: I don't really know what his Dragon Breath attack is, but here is a foolproof strategy. Shoot him till he dies and try not to catch on fire. If you mess this one up on the first time around, go up around 5 levels and fight him again.

Trivia

It is INCREDIBLY easy to get the Hurly Burly challange maxed out during the mission "This Town Ain't Big Enough". Stand above the eastward location (Known as the Pond) and shoot once around the pups to get their attention. All they will do is toss projectiles at you allowing you to get the challange completed.

Midge-Mong Has No Friends

Description:Kill Midge-Mong and his rider before they summon backup.

Strategy:Shoot him as much as you can. More than half the time I don't get this one on the first go, so level up then come back as he brings out backup really quickly.

I Can See Your Corpse from Here! x4

Description:Find all four telescopes in Southern Shelf Bay

Strategy:All the telescopes are around the bandit camp, describing the locations will be tough so I am going to use pictures on this one.


Description: Right before the bandit camp


Description: On one of the boats on the water around the Bandit Camp


Description: At the end of the boat gauntlet, near one of those junkyard chests before you jump off a boat towards the bandit camps plaza.


Description: Right outside the bar where Midge-Mong appears.

Description:Between the second and third Assassins, after you go down stairs, above the second generator near the third Assassin spawn. To reach it, jump on the rotating gear and jump up onto the generator.

Boss Run

Description:Kill all four assassins within ten minutes.

Strategy:This one is easy again but probably should be done after you complete the "Assassinate the Assassins" mission. Once you know the route through, just run it killing all enemies around a boss spawn to bring them out faster.

Challenges

Cult of the Vault


Symbol is mid right in the picture.

Description: In the back of the bunker arena, on the lower level. Wrap around on the walkways, this symbol is behind some foliage on the right side of an area.

BNK-3R Buster

Description: Defeat BNK-3R without destroying any of his Auto-Turrets.

Strategy: This one is going to require more than one go at BNK-3R (Partially because the challenge is unlocked after you beat him once). Bring more powerful gear and a good shield on your return because this boss has a larger health pool than most.

Shoot at BNK-3R when he flies up to the sides of the map and aim for the Red Cluster in the center of the front end of him. The turrets in question spawn on the sides of BNK-3R, Diagonal from the weak spot, try to avoid shooting high or low of the center as BNK-3R floats back and forth while stationary.

Description:Inside the Hodunk Trailer Park, behind the first building on the left.



Description:Inside Moonshiner's Shack (Small circular bandit camp), at the left of where you walk in.

I've Got a Crush on You

Description: Have a buddy crush you in the car crusher.

Strategy: This one is better done early into the game, that way the money loss isn't too big. The car crusher is around Ellie's Garage to the right. The description is a little wrong as whoever presses the button also gets the challange.

The Van Is Damned

Description: Find and loot the roaming Cara-Van.

Strategy: Wait until you receive an Echo while sitting in the Dust. The Cara-van spawns near The Friendship Gulag and leaves the map at the Three Horns - Valley entrance, just wait by Ellie's till you see two runners escorting a van. Kill the Runners, and the Van driver will surrender. To reach the gun chest on the top, jump up on the rear bumper.

NOTE: The Cara-Van respawns after you quit the game and restart.

If You're Not First, You're Last

Description:Complete the Hodunk Speedway within the time limit.

Strategy:This one takes some practice if you aren't used to driving. At the far end of the track, before the bridge, is a shortcut which will help. The Afterburner Relic (Received from Ellie) is useful, but not needed. The timer is invisible so just take a couple of laps till the challange pops up.

NOTE:If you have completed the Hodunk Speedway mission, where you blow up racers using fireworks, the crates will still collide with your car even though they are gone.

Challenges

Cult of the Vault x2



Description:Near the entrance to the fridge when you first show up. On the first shelter to your right on the roof. Go around to the other side of the shelter and clamber up the rocks to get to this symbol.



Description:This symbol is near the first one, follow through till you make it to a bridge with cars on it (Before you reach an overlook of the Fridge). Look immediately to your west, this symbol is behind the base of the structure.
Note:In the picture, I am looking at where the first vault symbol is.

It's Off to Hell We Go

Description:Kill all of Laney's midget companions before killing Laney herself.

Strategy:This one requires a semi decent shield, just kill the 7 midgets that spawn in with Laney. You may want to clear the area of rats prior so you won't have to deal with taking extra damage from them. Avoid using grenades and any abilities that fire on their own or have splash damage.

Fairest of Them All

Description:Kill Laney before any of her midget companions die.

Strategy:This one is much easier to accomplish, I think Laney even shows up first so just make sure she dies and try not to headshot a midget till she's dead.

The Rakk Knight

Description:Find Rakkman's audio diary.


Strategy:You have to go through the passage behind Laney to reach this audiobook. After Crystal Claw Pit, but before the elevator up to Rakkman. This Echo is sitting on a crate along the main path.

Trapped Rat

Description:Find the rat frozen in time.

Strategy:This one is a little tricky, Right after Crystal Claw Pit (Where you later fight Smashead) you'll find a closed in area with a chest inside. Bump the window you are looking through (Make sure the respawn station starts up) and then kill yourself with grenades or a rocket launcher. When you respawn you should be inside the closed in area.

Stiff Competition

Description:Kill Smash-Head without killing any of his Midget Boners.

Strategy:Once again, with any challenge dealing with killing, you may want to over level. All the same, just make sure you don't shoot midgets before you kill him.

Loot

Description: (I destroyed the thing before taking a picture) This one is directly above the vault symbol in the Hyperion Base.



Description: This one is on the far edge of the map opposite of Overlook. I sniped it from the Hyperion Base so the Map above is in the wrong spot.

Description: This Windsock is in the middle of the open area opposite of Overlook. It is on top of a cliff and takes a few tries to reach it. Jumping up to it is tough. (I probably should disable HUD and take a picture of here some time again).

Loot

Strategy:This one is easy, near where Boll spawns is a mini bandit camp that has a Badass Nomad and Badass Psycho spawn from a small shack. Above this camp is another boat that has ran aground. There is a ladder allowing you to climb to this ship and all you need to do then is snipe Boll through one of the portholes.

Trivia

Strategy:There is a geyser outside of the Happy Pig Motel, that when stood on will launch you high into the air. Position yourself on the rim of the geyser towards the motel and you should launch and land almost directly on it.
NOTE: This is impossible for Krieg to do as he "weighs" more than everyone else and as such, the quest does not show for him. He has a higher knockback resistance which messes up the challange.

Ride Together, Die Together

Description: Kill Tumbaa and Pimon within ten seconds of each other.

Strategy: This one is rather annoying to complete as a good amount of the time, they won't spawn together. Your best bet is to keep running the map and when you see one, hope you can find the other. If you can ever see both of them in the same area, try to knock down both of their health slowly until you can kill them in less than a second each. Alternatively, overlevel to the point where you can one shot both of them.

Don't fire at walls, mini rockets are fired horizontally and will explode on release.	Not much you can do here, pretty much stuck starting at the only entrance and rushing through Jackville (Fyrestone) to get to Saturn.
Roaster	Rocket Launcher	Note for Self-Person*	Increased Elemental Chance, Damage, and Accuracy. Slightly lower base damage.	None	N/A

Legendary

Name	Rocket Launcher	Dropped By	Special Effect	Notes	Farming
Badaboom	Rocket Launcher	King Mong	Fires 6 Projectiles per 1 rocket, reduced damage, Greatly Reduced Accuracy	None	Best way to farm this, make your way to "The Vault of the Warrior" and exit through the tunnel near the arena. Save and quit the game, everytime you load your save again, you'll spawn above the area where King Mong appears. If he doesn't show up, just restart your save.
Bunny	Rocket Launcher	Chubbies	When reloaded, it starts hopping around the map leaving live grenades as it goes along.	If you don't know, Chubby enemies appear rarely and have increased health but are essentially loot Piñatas	Best bet is to go to either Sanctuary or Sanctuary Hole (Depending on your progress in the storyline) and use the gate leading to Three Horns - Divide. Go to the nearby Skag pit and kill everything there, save, quit, and repeat till profit.
Mongol	Rocket Launcher	Dukino's Mom	Fires a rocket that sporadically releases rockets along its flightpath.	None	No good way to do this, run from the Train Station to the arena.
Norfleet	E-Tech Rocket Launcher	Vermivorous the Invincible OR Hyperius the Invincible**	Shoots 3 rockets in a horizontal line, Erratic Trajectory, Massive Damage and Range	Scarlett DLC	Sad to say, but without the Scarlett DLC, this gun is rediculously hard to get. Not Shredifier hard, but nonetheless crazy. Spawning Vermivorous is time consuming and hard to do legitly, here is some tips on trying. First, be on True Vault Hunter or Harder, he won't spawn unless you are. Second, go anywhere that has tons of varkids. I suggest Caustic Caverns as the warehouse about 1/3rd of the way around is chocked full of them Third, Trigger the spawns and then run away. The first thing they try to do is try to evolve (The game ticks through randomly 3 times and if it fails, they don't evolve) Repeat step 3 around 4 times and hope your Crazy Badass Varkid goes into their pod. [/th] There is statistics on your chance of a varkid going all the way to Vermivorous, but don't look it up. It is depressing. The chance does get higher with more players, but once again, it is depressing. [/tr] Nukem Rocket Launcher Black Queen Rockets arc, Massive Damage, Unique Explosion None Take a vehicle and go by the rocks near the cathedrel in the back of The Dust, ram your vehicle as fast as you can on these rocks, with enough practice, you can skip the long section of antlions behind Ellie's Garage. This works for Lyuda farming as well. Pyrophobia Rocket Launcher Incinerator Clayton OR Clark the Combusted Cryptkeeper Special Effect T.K. Baha HH DLC No good way again, sorry.

--Character Heads--

Source: http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Heads

I could add the screenshots for all the heads here, but considering that the guide is taking me around a minute and a half just to load all the pictures that already exist I'd rather save the time it takes for around approx. 60 more pictures to load. To save space, I'll only do the Character heads that get dropped by foes.

Infinite Golden Keyes on Desktop

For PC:

• Go to Documents\My Gmaes\Borderlands 2\willowgame\savedata\(RandomNumber)\profile.bin
  
• Right click profile.bin and click "Properties"
  
• Change this file to "Read Only"
  
• Go into Borderlands and use the Golden Chest as much as you want

IMPORTANT: When done, make sure you change profile.bin back. Forgetting to do so will Freeze the shared stash, Badass Points (But Not Challenges), and Default Character.

For Mac look at this article, under "Working Cheats": http://orcz.com/Borderlands_2:_Golden_Key

Closing

P.S. I am going through the game with a fresh character to make sure I am being thorough, If an area you want is missing, please wait. I complete on average 2 areas a day, more if one of the areas is small. At the same time, I am writing the graphs (To make them pretty like they are, I have to go through a decent amount of extra typing) and taking screenshots of everything that exists so what would normally take me 15 minutes to complete is edging to be an hour and a half.

If you have suggestions for any existing section (Mostly Trivia or missing Loot since Challenges should be complete, but if one is unclear do tell me and I'll do my best to fix it), feel free to post in the comments.

And once again, do NOT post hate about the use of 3rd party programs, I'll just delete them anyways.

Bonus Video (Shameless Self Promotion)

If you guys have ever played through the Tiny Tina DLC, you probably remember those Floor to Ceiling mashers that just kill you and steal all your cash. A long time ago I figured the solution to these out (After around 4 deaths, oh and before you say that isn't a lot, before I tossed myself at this I had lost around 10 million just playing through the DLC) and posted a video.

The wierd borders was from me failing to use FRAPS effectively, I fixed that later but then upgraded my computer and haven't downloaded FRAPS since then.

[Justuค็็็็็็็s[FIN]]

Thanks for making the effort. Your guide has been most helpful over the year when playing the base game.

[Wyldbill]

I've also scanned through the guide and I don't see the Lynchwood section anymore (It used to just be a short introduction and a link to another guide).

There's a chance I might boot up Borderlands 2 just to take some new screenshots and get that settled, but certainly not today.

[Wyldbill]

Yep, made the guide back in 2014 while waiting for the Pre Sequel to come out. Title was a bit more relevant back then but I did forget Lynchwood because you never actually go there in the main story line. Another user was nice enough to write a mini-guide to Lynchwood and I added a link to that after they left a comment here giving permission to do so.

My internet at the time was slow and I found out opening my own image heavy guide was taking a few minutes. Didn't really want to add in another game and a half worth of content with the DLC's.

I'll change the title to be more representative of what's in the guide. Thank you for bringing the flagrant exaggeration of my past self to my attention.

[Justuค็็็็็็็s[FIN]]

You're missing all the dlc areas and few base game areas like Lynchwood.

[driller3000]

yes

[TITOMOSQUITO187]

Weird...now that you say it, they all showed up. Unless you fixed it, if so thanks. Steam has been very buggy lately so I figured maybe it could be that too. Thanks for answering though.

[Wyldbill]

Looking through the guide I still have pictures showing up, All of those images should be saved as public but I'll check to make sure they weren't changed to private or something after however many years it has been.

[TITOMOSQUITO187]

Why are all the screenshots gone? Did you do this, or did Steam purge all the ones from like before 2020? This isn't the only guide I've seen this. Most of them have no screenshots anymore. No way all these guides makers deleted their screenshot libraries. Shouldn't matter anyways, they should be saved in the guides.

DLC challenges aren't part of the base game, no need to list them here among the base game's numerous challenges.
