How to unlock the My Name Is Earl achievement in Borderlands 3 - Definitive Guide

**Update: This achievement has been reported to be glitched for some players. The achievement counter is not going up and being stuck at certain % of completion. It is not known what causes the glitch to happen but apparently Gearbox knows of it and is working on a solution/patch.**

Crazy Earl is located on the space ship Sanctuary in the Cargo Bay (bottom floor of the ship)

Simply buy 20 cosmetic items form Crazy Earl.

Any items bought directly from Crazy Earl will count towards this achievement such as the heads and skins. Just fill in the rest of the achievement with filler Room Decorations after you've bought the cosmetics you actually wanted.

Room Decorations are the cheapest option.

To be sure about the whole co-op achievements not popping, I done it in single player.

I got it in co-op but that's a good idea.

Well, this achievement is glitched at least for me. I'm stuck at 95% in my tracker list (just need 1 more item) but I've already bought more than 25 items from Earl (tracker in game tells it). I don't know what causing this, but I think it's because buy and equip thing (press x button, cmiiw) or something else. For now, just buy any items from him using A button (buy) instead using button for buy & equip. I might try on another character once I've finished the story but maybe next patch/update will fix this along another glitchy achievement. Finger crossed! 😅

Thank you for doing the math and letting us know the quickest route to unlock the achievement. Thumbs up.
Also, may want to warn that prices go up after each purchase, at least for character cosmetics they increase. Not sure about room decor.
Maybe I'll get this during the Free-To-Play this weekend Nov 23rd 2019.

Mine is glitched as well. I’m stuck at 55%. I’ve contacted Gearbox and they said that they’re aware of it and the dev team is working on a fix. No timeline, but at least it’s on the table.

I’m stuck at 95%, does anyone know a solution that works around the glitch?

Still broken, and still no work around. I can't believe that it's still not fixed after 7 months, despite the fact that multiple dlc's and bug fixes have rolled out.

I'm not sure why it's glitched for you guys, I just tried this achievement, i just pressed A as fast as possible to buy all room decorations and it popped. Have you guys tried reinstalling the game?

I guess I can try reinstalling. I think what must've did it for me was the buy and equip thing like another guy said above, because you bought 20 things rapidly and it popped for you

Stuck at 30%. Tried multiple characters. No more movement when cosmetic items of various types are bought.

Got it to 95% and it stopped tracking for me, no matter what I bought. Saving and quitting did nothing as well. Hopefully it's fixed soon.

GLITCHED

Note: You can't access Crazy Earl's store, until after you have completed the mission "Sanctuary" and gained access to all of Sanctuary III.

Whilst I didn't have any issues with this trophy, some people have so the best way to mitigate any potential glitch is to save up enough Eridium to buy 20 items then purchase all of them at once with a single character. If you have issues with the PS5 version of this trophy, please see this post by purlinka: LINK

Crazy Earl's store is found in Sanctuary III's Cargo Hold (you will go there as part of the "Sanctuary" mission) but he only accepts Eridium. Here are the best ways to earn Eridium:

- Eridium Crystal Formations (requires the Eridian Resonator, before you can break them by pressing ): LINK
- Eridium Chests (requires the Eridian Resonator, before you can break the Eridium Crystal Formations holding them shut). LINK
- Killing Bosses and Badasses, then collecting the Eridium Bars they sometimes drop.
- Completing Challenges ( => Map => press until you reach the Galaxy Overview => Press to select the Challenges list = to cycle through the challenges).

The cheapest items cost 50 Eridium but the prices climb steeply from there. For some farming tips, please see this video by VinylicPumaGaming (this video is based on the 1.04 patch so isn't current but the basic strategies still apply):

Just for reference: buying a weapon with eridium in a machine gun does not count.
So you will have to spend about 500 eridium if you buy the cheapest room decorations.
And one more thing: there is no point in accumulating eridium - weapons with anointed bonuses will already fall in incredible quantities after completing the campaign.
