The gaming world was so excited when Borderlands 3 was released. However, Borderlands 3 had a rough introduction to the gaming world. From huge leaks to tough rumors, the game had a bit of a tough start. Now that the game is finally out, players can't get enough of it. Combining ridiculous chaos with wonderful art, Borderlands 3 takes players back to Hyperion, a place where Handsome Jack and his dark sense of humor reign supreme. And, as is customary for most Playstation games, Borderlands 3 comes chock-full of trophies and achievements just begging to be unlocked by players. Unlocking achievements can be a little tricky, especially if players don't know what to look for. Luckily, a guide for every trophy and achievement can at least point players in the right direction.
Below details a list of every achievement and trophy available right now on Borderlands 3. Most trophies are easy to get and only require players to follow the storyline. A few of them, however, are a little more tricky to obtain. Including the secret trophies and the trophies for Moxxi's DLC, there are a total of 52 trophies a player can receive throughout the game.
Borderlands 3 Primary Trophies
The trophies below are immediately accessible to players. Most of these trophies are fairly self-explanatory. Through basic character upgrades, following the storyline, general world exploring, and completing side quests, players are able to gain these trophies and take a few steps closer to the coveted Platinum trophy.
Borderlands 3 was kind enough to even provide no character-specific trophies this time around. Additionally, there are no difficulty-related trophies either, giving players room to play and explore leisurely. Nothing is missable and all quests, collectibles, guns, etc can be found post-story in free-roam. As a general, Borderlands rule, playing the game twice should get all the trophies. Additionally, defeating the game once will unlock Mayhem Mode, making the game more difficult and the loot extra juicy.
