How to unlock the Decked Out achievement in Borderlands 2 - Definitive Guide
(this will require you to have all of the weapon slots unlocked. Also, purple items are not to be confused with PINK E-Tech items.)
- 4 Weapons
- Relic
- Shield
- Grenade mod
- Class mod
It doesn't matter what level the items are. Some general tips are to stash any purple item you find until you have all those required and to farm the BNK-3R boss as he will usually drop a few purples. The rarest one to get is usually the relic but with persistence, it shouldn't take too long to get one. If you have a friend who has some (or all) items your missing, you can trade them back and forth.
(It should also be noted that bringing over a saved character from your 360 file with enough purples to fill each slot would be the quickest and most simple way. If it doesn't pop right away just remove one of them and re-equip it.)
Everybody will give you something of a weapon, except for Tannis, who gives you a relic. After she is done doing her speech, she gets a relic at total random. Most relics are either blue, while there are purple relics in the loot pool. When she gives you a blue relic, quit, reload your save. She will do her dialogue again and offer you a relic. Save and reload until she gives you a purple relic. (Mine was a 20.9% quicker shield refill)
If you can wait and have the patience and time: You can also wait for your Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode playthrough. Legendary Loot Midgets seem to carry E-tech relics since relics are more important in this mode.
- All 4 weapon slots
- Grenade
- Shield
- Class mod
- Relic mod
The order of rarity goes like this:
- White
- Green
- Blue
- Purple
- Orange
- Pearlescent
You can earn this casually throughout regular gameplay, just making sure to save a purple or higher item in your vault located in Sanctuary if you plan on swapping it out for something of lower value.
If you want to speed up the process, I will include a link to Orcz.com which has many, many alphanumeric keys for SHiFT codes, which can be redeemed for Golden Keys.
The Golden Key chest is located in Sanctuary near your fast travel hub. Using a Golden Key, you will receive a random item(s) of purple or higher value. It is also scaled to your current level. It is recommended that you wait until later in the game to use the Golden keys as there is a limited amount of keys in circulation and Gearbox doesn't add new ones constantly.
I personally used several of these codes for Golden Keys as well as character customization items on 06/Nov/2016 and every one of them I used still worked. (Obviously read the notes next to the code for whether or not they are active still.) So even though many were posted in 2013/2014 they still work if not expired.
A table of current SHiFT codes is here:

You can also add Borderlands onto Facebook or Twitter and they release SHiFT codes on those accounts too. Just make sure the code is for Borderlands 2 and not the Pre-Sequel.
Borderlands 2 uses a colour-coding classification system for all the equipment throughout the game. Certain weapons are common, while others are rare and this is relayed back via a different colour. Below is the key for each colour and its rarity.
Weapon Colour Codes
- White: Very Common
- Green: Common
- Blue: Uncommon
- Purple: Rare
- Magenta: Very Rare (E-Tech)
- Orange: Legendary
Seeing as the purple or higher are set as rare+, you won't come across them much at the beginning of the game, but as you progress through it, you'll start to notice a few more about via item drops, crates or shops. You'll need to fill all 8 slots available - 4 guns, shield, grenade, class and relic mod.
