How to unlock the Sabre Rattler achievement in Borderlands 2 - Definitive Guide

The Sabre turret is Axton's skill and is deployed by pressing cn_LB once it is charged up.

In order to deploy the turret you need to level Axton up to at least level 5, then at every opportunity you can deploy the turret and have it lay waste at your enemies. Enemy level, size, type ect does not matter so long as they are enemies, so long as the final hit is the kill shot by the turret it will count. The turret can turn 360 degrees, so its best to place in the centre of a group of enemies.

Note: If you have unlocked this on the 360 and transferred your save and downloaded it on the One simply have the turret kill one enemy and this will pop.

*Also, thanks to wolfzero01 for the heads up: Don't use the "...To Pay the Bills" challenge as a way of tracking it.*

That challenge seems to be for getting kills *while* your skill is active, not just *with* the skill. If you kill an enemy with your own gun while the turret is deployed, that will add one kill towards the challenge so it will inflate the number. It's an odd distinction but it's enough to mess up the tracking.

I tried making a commando to get this achievement. My BA rank says I've killed more then 100 with my action skill but I still don't have the achievement. Anyone know a possible reason why?

Strangely enough, this is one of the only achievements that didn't pop after transferring my characters over. Oh well, not too bad at least.

By using the character I used to unlock the achievement on the 360, all I needed was 1 kill with the turret and the achievement popped.

To get the trophy that's called "Sabre Rattler", you must have Axhind kill at least 100 enemies with his special skill, the Sabre turret.

First off, if you haven't done already or if you're playing for the first time, chose Axhind, the soldier, as your new character and start up the new playthrough.

Next, make sure to take out monsters and complete missions in the Southern Shelf and in Southern Shelf bay until you reach level 5.

Once you've reached level 5, go into your skill tree menu and unlock the Sabre Turret.

From this point on, it's really just a matter of finding some enemies nearby and unleashing the Sabre turret by pressing cn_L1. Axhind will taunt them as he throws it out onto the ground, so the carnage should begin.

Repeat this process again and again as you see new baddies to take on until at least one-hundred enemies have been destroyed by the Sabre turret and the trophy should unlock for good!

Good luck, have fun, and happy hunting!

This one is fairly easy if you are playing through. Make sure you are using Axton (The Commando) and using his turret as much as possible especially in large groups of enemies and the achievement will pop.

To obtain this achievement you'll first need to be playing as Axton and have reached level 5, as using the Sabre Turret is his unique Action Skill. Now that you're playing as him, all you'll need to do is use his Turret on 100 enemies making sure they die by it. There's a few Skills worth buying to make the process go faster though. So, feel free to level up and spend some Skill Points on them.

Below are the Skills that may help;

Guerrilla Skill Tree

Sentry: Increase the number of shots your Sabre Turret fires in each burst. Also increases your Sabre Turrets duration.

  • Required Level: 5
  • Skill Tier: 1
  • Skill Upgrade: 5/5

Scorched Earth: Adds multiple rocket pods to your Sabre Turret.

  • Required Level: 15
  • Skill Tier: 3
  • Skill Upgrade: 1/1

All you need now is enough enemies to use the Action Skill on. To start, this may be easier to get playing solo because then you don't have to worry about other people stealing much need kills.

The skill "Sabre turret" is available only to the hero "Axton" (command class) from the moment he reaches level 5, deploy the turret mainly in places where low-level enemies are concentrated ( try to bring the enemy’s hillbar to a critical point with the main type of weapon and then finish it off with a turret ) and the trophy will not be long in coming.

In addition to the tip above... If you kill enemies yourself while the turret is active, then they count towards badass challenges. Therefore, if the counter shows 100 kills and there is no trophy, do not be alarmed, you just killed the enemies, not the turret, continue to use the skill .

It gets the fastest on flying Rakk enemies. They have little life and fly in flocks of 5-6.

If you had the battle for sanctuary dls added when the game was distributed (so it costs 1k), then by downloading this dls you can make lvl 30 characters from the menu, I don’t know if the passage of the game itself affects it, because I did it after. You create, pump up damage to the turret, go from the DLS to any of the initial locations, the enemies there are low lvl and hit it in 10 minutes
