How to unlock the Unseen Predator achievement in Borderlands 2 - Definitive Guide
(To make this solution dumb proof, you HAVE to be playing as Zer0 the assassin,)
You can unlock this achievement anywhere after level 5 if you follow these simple steps.
1. Go to a catch a ride station.
2. Spawn a Bandit Technical.
You can get this vehicle from Ellie after completing Quests for her. It unlocks after the quest "a dam fine rescue".
3. Go to the back of the Technical and stare at the left side.
4. [First way, How I did it on the Xbox One version]
Stare at the left back side of the technical where you can press (x) to climb in but don't do so yet, activate your deception ability and wait till the timer gets close to zero seconds as possible, when your ability is about to run out climb in the backside left seat of the technical and press A continuously to switch sides you should still be in deception mode and thus gotten the achievement.
(Second way, How I got this on the 360 version)
Activate your special ability AND quickly press X to get onto the back left side of the Technical, now while deception timer is counting down, you need to press A as FAST!! as you can and you will keep sitting left to right on the Technical, for some reason this glitches the timer beyond 10 seconds and thus unlocking this achievement way before level 31.
This method is perfect for those who don't want to restart all over again just to get zero to 31.
May take several tries of trial and error but i can confirm as of 09/10/12 it still works and has not been patched yet for both versions of the Borderlands 2 game.
Both ways above work, tested by me and some friends of mine.
Credit goes to someone apparently on GameFaqs, but it first caught my eye thanks to Drunken Deity's forum post on X360a.
i'm not taking credit for someones find, i am simply sharing it across the community. Thank you and good luck.
Edit: thanks to scuzzybunny for pointing out its level 31 to get down the skill tree.
A great spot to do this is in tundra express. There's quite a few weak varkids here you can 1 hit melee kill them from deception since your melee is so high. Once you find a nice group of varkids enter deception mode and wait a couole seconds to strike as your melee boost builds the longer your in deception. Once your timer is down to 3 seconds start attacking by clicking right stick to use the execute skill. Every kill you will re cloak and gain another second on the timer. Should take 4 or 5 kills. Pretty easy this way.
However, if you're like me and had a hard time mashing the swap seats button fast enough (or finding a good timing), I HIGHLY recommend changing your controls (which you can do in the "options" menu in the start menu) to something you can mash more easily. I changed mine to Right Trigger and got it after two attempts. Easy as that.
Also, this is my first guide, so be nice with the voting.
Up to 31, put your skill points into the Bloodshed Tree. For this achievement, I recommend upgrading Iron Hand, Execute and F0ll0wthr0ugh. You need to kill fast enough that Backstab isn’t super helpful. A melee based kit, such as Law (pistol) and Order ( shield, both from Sanctuary quests) and a melee boosting class mod, can help.
At 31, you’ll unlock Many Must Fall, which restarts your cloak timer after a melee kill while cloaked.
Travel to Caustic Caverns. The Infected Warehouse, which is the first building you come to, is full of low level Varkid. Spawn 5 or 6, then pop your skill and start killing. You need to kill 5 enemies to get this achievement, which isn’t super difficult here as low level enemies spawn quickly. Execute can reach low flying enemies, too, not just ground based.
If you're able to moonshot powerlevel an assassin, you can get this in the beginning of the story with the bullymongs.
To obtain this achievement you'll first need to be playing as Zer0 and have reached level 5, as being in Decepti0n is his unique Action Skill. Now that you're playing as him, there's one Skill you're going to have to buy from your Skill Tree before you can make it last for 10 seconds or more, so this will take some levelling to reach it.
Below is the Skill you'll have to purchase;
Bloodshed Skill Tree
Many Must Fall: Killing an enemy with a melee attack while Decepti0n is active, causes you to deploy another holographic decoy, re-stealth, and add time to Decepti0ns duration. This can be done multiple times in succession.
- Required Level: 30
- Skill Tier: 6
- Skill Upgrade: 1/1
There's also a few optional Skills worth buying that may help;
Bloodshed Skill Tree
Killing Bl0w: Massively increase melee damage against enemies with low health.
- Required Level: 5
- Skill Tier: 1
- Skill Upgrade: 5/5
Iron Hand: Increase your melee damage and maximum health.
- Required Level: 5
- Skill Tier: 1
- Skill Upgrade: 5/5
F0ll0wthr0ugh: Kill Skill. Killing an enemy increases your movement speed, melee damage and gun damage for a few seconds
- Required Level: 15
- Skill Tier: 3
- Skill Upgrade: 5/5
Execute: Melee Override Skill. While Decepti0n is active and a target is under your crosshairs, dash forward a distance and preform a special melee attack, dealing massive damage.
- Required Level: 15
- Skill Tier: 3
- Skill Upgrade: 1/1
Backstab: Your melee attacks deal bonus melee damage when hitting an enemy in the back.
- Required Level: 15
- Skill Tier: 3
- Skill Upgrade: 5/5
Like the Wind: While moving you gain increased melee damage and gun damage.
- Required Level: 25
- Skill Tier: 5
- Skill Upgrade: 5/5
Now that you have that, you're good to go for 10 seconds. All you need now is enough enemies to keep it going. This is easier to get playing solo because then you don't have to worry about other people stealing much need kills.
Alternatively, you can try the method shown below. Thanks to redemption ownage for showing this to us. (I just tried it myself with a turbo controller to mash for me and it worked like a charm)
