How to unlock the Face Off achievement in Borderlands 2 - Definitive Guide

This is the last mission in the Hammerlock's Hunt campaign. It is pretty straight forward, the only hard part being the boss, Jackenstein. In order to defeat him, you have to keep shooting the electric barrels on his back until they explode.

It will seem like you are doing very little damage to him, but once the barrels explode the majority of his health will be gone.

After the barrels, shoot his chest until that also explodes. He often stood on his hind legs, giving the perfect chance to lay a bunch of shots into his chest.

If there's any way I can improve this, please leave a comment. Thanks and good luck!

Is it possible to get this achievement if you already completed it on a transferred character? Thanks!

No, you will have to do it with a character who has not yet completed the mission.

Story Related. Can not be missed.

The story missions consist of...

  • Savage Lands
  • Professor Nakayama, I Presume?
  • A-Hunting We Will Go
  • The Fall of Nakayama


The final fight against Jackenstein can be a bit tricky. Before you start you should have a Bee Shield and a good corrosive weapon (Conference Call works nicely). There are four parts to this battle. All very similar to the previous.

As soon as you jump down, unload on the electric power cells on it's back taking out 1/4 of his health. As soon as you take out one of them he will jump up and be protected by a shield. When this happens, you will need to take out a handful of Hyperion robots before he jumps back down. Unload on his second power cell when he does taking out another 1/4. He will jump back up to his previous spot and you will need to take care of more Hyperion robots. As soon as he jumps down again, use your most powerful weapon and unload in his chest/head region. His health will get bumped down from 50% to 25% then he'll die. Here is a basic video guide explaining what to do.
