How to unlock the Dropping Loads achievement in Borderlands 3 - Definitive Guide

The easiest way to get this is on Sanctuary 3, go to Moxxi's Bar and gamble on the 3 money slots once you have a decent amount of money. I did this fairly early on and "won" the grenade after just a few pulls.

There's probably a way to do it, if you delete your cloud save and reload your local save, kind of how you do the ironman cheese for Gears of War 4. I haven't tested it, but that should work if you're absolutely desperate. If you're low on money, once you level up, you can farm the
for easy legendries for the money.

I am having difficulty getting the achievement to unlock. I’ve won countless grenades at different vending machines, but it refuses to unlock.

Also having trouble getting this to unlock. Have gotten several live grenades by now and still not popping.

Anybody know the reason or a work around?

I'd make sure it's in your hosted game, and if it still doesn't pop, delete your profile and redownload it. That seems to cause the game to recalculate your achievement stats.

I have had so many blow up in my face, it’s gotta be broken. I’ve done it with two characters and still can’t get it.

Can anyone confirm if they've gotten this achievement to pop outside of Moxxi's Bar? I was trying on a second account, but couldn't get it to pop until I did it on Sanctuary.

The loot boxer machine is the first one on the left as you enter Moxxi’s bar. Cost varies depending on level and it was 14.5K for me.. cost me about 150K but got it after about 10 spins.

Unlike previous Borderlands games, you CANNOT quit to the dashboard and reload a previous save after failing to get the achievement. I just wasted 100+ Eridium and around $5000 to find this out; which at level 10, that was everything I owned.

(If I am wrong about this, and there’s a way to reload a previous save, please let me know!)

This can be attained after leaving the planet Pandora and boarding the ship Sanctuary.

To gain access to Moxxi's Bar you will need to complete a few tasks once you get on board after which speaking to Ellie allows you into the bar.

Once there simply go to the slot machine (Loot Boxer) on the left of the entrance and press X to spin the reels. There is some element of luck with this achievement but here it was accomplished in 4 spins, costing $247 each.

Simple:

Gather up a decent amount of cash, then use the Cash Trap slot machine. Should only take you a few tries. I used the one at The Lodge in Xylourgos (DLC)

Note: The earliest you can attempt this, is after completing the mission "Sanctuary" and gaining access to all of Sanctuary III but I recommend backing up your saves beforehand so you can get all your money back after popping the trophy.

Find Moxxi's Nightclub on Sanctuary III (indicated on the map, by a Slot Machine) then spend some cash at any of the money based Slot Machines (the Eridium one doesn't count) until you trigger the slot combination that rewards you by detonating a Grenade in your face. This trophy can be attempted at the Slot Machines you find in the wild but Moxxi's Bar is the safest and most convenient option.
