How to unlock the Friendship Rules achievement in Borderlands 2 - Definitive Guide

Fight for your life is what happens when all of your health is depleted and your downed by enemies. In this state you can either kill enemies to 'fight' your way back up or be revived by a coop partner, to do this simply walk over them and hold cn_X

Now for the coop bit you can either do this over xbox live or locally so long as the accounts that you're reviving are on your friends list, both of you need to have friended each other and not just one of you has friended else you're just a follower of that account.

Obi Jase has commented saying that the accounts should only friend each other and not have them set as a favourite. DoonDoons recommends that both of you need to be showing as online as well, just in case.

Here's a video using 2 controllers (Using gameDVR)

You may need to make another dummy account......I have several and on my second try it worked......it seems like the accounts that were transferred from the 360 to the One seem to have trouble recognising that you are friends with each other.

The good thing is your gold is shared with any accounts that are added onto the One.....so make a random Xbox Profile (a silver one) and download it to the Xbox One then add the accounts to each others friend list.

Yes gold is shared by default from your main profile on your home xbox. The accounts can friend yes just have to go to the home screen for each profile and friend through the friends app like usual (Or xbox.com) and then press A with the second controller to join/start a split screen match.

I got the achievement to test in this way here http://youtu.be/eupH1frctas

Another thing you should add, if your friend is in offline mode it doesn't work or at least it didn't for me, however the favourite thing worked for me and my partner.

Unlocked for a friend the other night but I have not been able to make it pop. I triple checked and he's not a fav, just a regular friend. I wonder if it's bugged now.

I can confirm that it unlocks in split screen mode and your dummy must be showing online. I tried first with my dummy's online status blocked for everyone and it didn't unlock, I switched it to only friends and it unlocked first try. Neither account had the other marked as favorite.

Just spend an hour and a half trying to get this one to pop with 3 other guys, finally two of us got it but the other two didn't. We revived each other a few dozen times and I think it was about 20-25 when I finally got it, but the other two guys never got it at all... the only recommendation I have is to just keep trying, reboot and start fresh, start a new game/new character, and let Knuckle Dragger beat on you and take turns reviving each other... eventually, hopefully, it should pop. But plan on trying for half an hour or more... someone needs to mark this cheevo as BUGGY.

just like russolini77 i have wasted a lot of time trying to get this. in the end, i logged in my wifes account (she is guest on my console, no need to be gold too) on my secondary controller, started a new game in splitscreen mode. both lvl1 characters. rushed to Knuckledragger, let her die and rez her. Got the achievement first try!

Alright now, it worked for me only after I revived a friend I INVITED to an open game via the in-game menu. Did revive him multiple times earlier to no effect, so maybe that's a way.

I tried this multiple times with even dummies I had on my friends' list to double box. It didn't work, nor did the online with an added friend.

So I used a dummy that was created on the same box, added him as a friend and confirmed his status as a friend & submitted, confirmed etc on both accounts.

Did a revive in split-screen/local & the achievement popped on the 1st revive I did. Strange, but the game doesn't like established friends it seems. Use split-screen. That will fix your issue for those who's didn't unlock (like mine) via general play.

If anyone is looking to unlock this, somehow I don’t have anyone on my friends list with this game, so if anyone needs help to get it, I need it as well so send me a message on here, or Xbox live either one

I could not get it to work in splitscreen for my gamertag, no matter what I tried (favorite or not, new characters, changing hosts, inviting from main menu, different ways of taking damage). However both of my dummy accounts unlocked it without issue in splitscreen.
I then did it with 2 consoles and invited the same dummy account that I've been trying it with dozens of times before and it immediately unlocked on the first try. No idea why splitscreen specifically did not work for my gamertag.

Maybe it's a buggy Achievement that can be hit or miss with the unlocking.

Hi guys. Thanks for the advise lil shewolf. I noticed that my wife's account was marked as a 'favourite' on the Xbox One. I changed this to normal 'Friend' relationship and retried and it unlocked straight away. Seems like this may be a factor.

I have a theoretical question that Im not really seeing the answer to (not that your solution is wrong or anything...more likely Im just stupid)

Lets say I create a second account and have both of them on the same xbox. Is it possible to A: have the accounts add each other as friends, B: to start a split screen co-op game with both accounts, and C: perform the revive and still get the achievement? (side question: is a gold subscription required for both accounts IF this is how you can do it?) Again...I know that more than likely Im coming off as a relatively large idiot for this so...go easy on me.

I don't know what is wrong with people on this website. Read the solution & create a session if you want to do it in co-op or plug in a 2nd controller. Read the above before posting garbage on threads.

That's what the session function is for.

I might have come across something here as it’s happened twice now and both times worked.

So my main gamer tag hosted the first time and I invited my alt account into the game with a second controller by pressing start whilst in game and pressing a to bring in the second player, not at the main menu. I made my alt die twice and revived with the main, but no achievement. I then decided to down my main character and had the alt account revive. This instantly gave the alt account the achievement but my main wasn’t getting anything. So I swapped it around and started a brand new game and made the alt account host. Once I had loaded in, I invited my main from the start menu. Made my main die twice and revived with the alt, no achievement but wasn’t expecting it as the alt already had it. Then I let the first group of enemies kill the alt, I then rushed in with the main, killed the enemies and revived the alt, then the achievement unlocked.

I believe it’s something to do with the host, they cannot get the achievement but the invited player can. My alt was on my friends list, neither were favourited, both were showing as online.

In order to get the trophy that's called "Friendship Rules", you need to have revived someone from "Fight for Your Life!" that is on your friends list.

To begin, make sure you have a friend on your PSN Friend list that owns the game as well as you owning a copy of the game too. From there, either start a co-op game or join him or her in a game of their own or vice-versa.

At some point in the game, it doesn't matter what enemy you face, if they take out your shield energy, along with your life energy, you will enter what's called "Fight For Your Life!", a second chance at killing someone and gaining a second wind. If they cannot get out of that jam, then it's up to you to revive them fully.

When a friend of yours gets into that stage, make sure you are standing or crouching near them and hold down cn_S. A green lifebar will appear and it will take at least ten-fifteen seconds before you fully revive them. Once you have revived them from "Fight For Your Life!", they should get back up and the trophy should unlock right then and there!

According to TheWolf, it's also possible to get this trophy on your own on split-screen with two PSN accounts activated on the same console, as long as you have two controllers.

Have fun and good luck!

This can be done in Split-Screen using two PSN Accounts on the same console.

This can be boosted very early on in the game. First things first, you'll need someone on your friends list who is playing the game and willing to join your game or you joining theirs. If you don't have anybody, please go HERE.

Once you've got a partner and are in a game, you'll now need to find an enemy. Going into "Fight for Your Life" mode is kind of like "Last Stand" in Call of Duty. When your health is depleted to 0, you'll die but go into "Fight for Your Life". Being in this mode, you can only crawl at a slow pace but you can still shoot your weapons. If you manage to kill an enemy before the new health bar is depleted, you'll be brought back to life and get your "Second Wind". But for this achievement, you don't want to do that.

Once you've found an enemy, either you or your partner stand there and let it kill you. Now have either yourself or your teammate walk up to each other and you'll then be prompted to press and hold  to revive. Doing so will bring them back to life (when the green bar is full) without them having to shoot and kill someone and the achievement will unlock. Just make sure you revive them before their health bar runs out, otherwise they'll die indefinitely and respawn away from the fight.

*This can also be done with a second silver XBL account. Simply log them in, and then continue to follow the description above.

create a lobby with a friend and agree on self-sacrifice in order to receive a prize and resuscitate your friend. Or wait until your partner’s death throes for subsequent resuscitation.

I advise you to revive your partner 10 times at once to complete the test.

The trophy may not fall to those who used "Cross-Save" to transfer the character. In this case, you need to go to the “Badass Rank” menu and turn off bonuses by clicking on the triangle. After this, the trophy will become achievable.

The trophy may not fall in your game, if this happens, I advise you to ask the friend with whom you are doing it to create your own lobby and do it there.

You can get the trophy yourself without any problems. To do this, you only need a second profile on your set-top box. Add him as a friend, log into the game under your profile, send the second profile an invitation to the group, log in under him and join the group. Then all that remains is to reach any enemy in split-screen mode, let him knock down the second profile hero, and then pick him up with your main character.
For all these actions, one gamepad is enough, but in this case you will have to reconnect it several times to perform the necessary actions on both characters in turn.

Can be obtained with a second joystick, on a split screen. But to get the trophy you need to be a guest, not a host.
