Borderlands 2: PS4 trophy and platinum guide

Borderlands 2

PS4

Borderlands 2 requires main progression and shorter routes with other classes. Keep non-area-specific challenges together on the main character. Spreading progress across saves does not complete Challenge Accepted. Named locations also deserve a checklist because an almost revealed map can hide one missing passage. Prepare for Terramorphous and interaction with a friend, keeping expansion groups separate from base requirements.

Base-game platinum roadmap for PS4. Additional trophy groups are separate.

  • Required difficulty: No selectable difficulty; True Vault Hunter supports progression toward the required level.
  • Missable trophies: Challenges and locations support cleanup; do not reset challenges before the trophy.
  • Online: Friendship Rules requires reviving a friend; plan other co-op challenges too.

Keep challenges on one character

Challenge Accepted requires first rank in non-area-specific challenges on one character. Check entries unlocked through other challenges and do not reset progress before the trophy. For an apparently complete category, inspect the detailed list rather than adding results from other Vault Hunters.

  • Check unlocked challenges and their owning character.

Prepare Zer0 and Salvador early

Zer0 and Salvador challenges need skills supporting action duration. Choose one as the main character to reduce secondary levelling, then use Axton and Maya for their kill requirements. Merely unlocking an ability does not guarantee a long enough activation for Unseen Predator or So Much Blood!.

  • Check duration and talents before class challenges.

Visit small passages in named locations

World Traveler requires named locations rather than merely entering main maps. Check unregistered corners and side areas while completing missions and collections. If it remains locked with nearly everything revealed, seek a specific location rather than restarting exploration aimlessly.

  • Record named locations still missing.

Treat Jimmy Jenkins as a search challenge

Jimmy Jenkins is a rare encounter tied to challenge progress. Open relevant containers and check the state of quests used by a search route before turning them in; some methods use an unfinished mission. Do not treat an estimate as a guarantee. Random spawns can take different numbers of attempts.

  • Check the quest state used for the search.

Finish level, Terramorphous and friendship

Prepare equipment and level before Terramorphous, combining growth with still-required side missions. For Friendship Rules, ensure the other player meets the friend condition and revive them. A normal Second Wind from shooting is not that interaction. DLC raids and stories remain additional groups.

  • Check Terramorphous and friend revival separately.

Frequently asked questions

Do challenges combine between characters?

Not for Challenge Accepted. It specifies one character.

Can I reset challenges as soon as the option appears?

Wait until Challenge Accepted unlocks to avoid rebuilding progress.
