How to unlock the Who Collects The Collector? achievement in Borderlands 3 - Definitive Guide

In order to spawn the wandering Debt Collector, you must of completed the side mission Sisterly Love. The mission is fairly easy and can be done early on after finishing a couple main quests in the Spendopticon.

After finishing the side quest, the Debt Collector can be located by chance through entering into The Spendopticon and will spawn where you finished the side quest. It’s quicker to travel from the Impound Deluxe, if he doesn’t spawn, travel back to the impound then save and quit to reload and try again. Happy hunting!

Yeah, it’s bugged for me. I hope it gets sorted out in a patch. Grr

I got this achievement the second time reloading the save point. This achievement is obviously super random. I’d suggest that if the enemy doesn’t spawn just instantly quit out and load back in. You should spawn by the hideout which in a couple of seconds away. Shouldn’t take long no matter how many tries it takes

AgentOfAbyss It's not unfortunately. It's the Mk 2 variant related to the achievement and it's a random spawn.

1 reload for me. I completed Sisterly Love, quit the game and then loaded up my save. Walked straight back to where you finish the mission and he was walking around the area.

Same as DarthMorris88. Shut off Mayhem mode and it spawned after I fast traveled from Sanctuary to The Spendicon. Maybe a coincidence but it worked.

I'm guarantee that you don't need to save & exit. Only going from Impound deluxe to Spendopticon works and is a lot faster. It took me 7 tries.

It took me many (roughly 20 or so) tries. I also had mayhem on, turned it off kept trying with no results, then went back and turned it back on and kept it on. I don't think mayhem affects it.

if you run past the area where he spawns there is a save station between the "Hyperial" and "velvet turtle" buildings (just prior to the lotto grotto area). Loading here and turning around is much shorter than either the impound or the default spendopticon start. THVM Mayhem 1, took me about 15 minutes, not sure how many tries it was.

I believe you only need to finish the quest Sisterly Love to first kill the collector, then mark II will spawn by chance. I didn't try to hunt him down until I was done with the story though.

Unlocked just now, took me about 15 attempts. I recommend starting in Casa de Timothy on Mayhem 1, walk round to the correct area, if he’s not there, switch off Mayhem (to reset the area/enemies) and repeat this process. Just keep alternating Mayhem on and off, far quicker than saving and quitting or leaving the area. Good luck everyone.

It’s totally reliant on RNG, so some may see it long before others do. I recommend just trying it maybe a dozen times a day if you’re incredibly unlucky.

I did this by changing Mayhem levels and apply/exit. It would reload me right before this area. Maybe took 8 times of changing mayhem levels and turning it off and on.

went through the area couple of times after doing the mission (2nd playthrough, TVHM m10) and I had this guide open when I went on the mission in the impound. I read lee1987xz 1st comment and thought "let's just try it a couple of times now that I am here anyways"... well waddaya know, first try: bot spawned in the middle of the area.

After about 70 tries I finally got them to spawn. I found the best method was the get the checkpoint between the "Casa de Timothy" and the actually spawn location for the enemy and every time they don't spawn, press the 'back' button and turn on/off mayhem mode which will auto reload you to last checkpoint, saving you from having to quit and reload or fast traveling. The robot also will spawn exactly where the hot/ice/shock robot spawns. Happy hunting.

what level do you have to be
I do not think there is a set level aside from what the quests recommend. For reference, I'm just hitting level 30 and just unlocked this.

I started off by doing the traditional fast travel to Sanctuary and then back to The Spendopticon - Casa de Timothy. Did that I believe 4-5 times with no luck on The Debt Collector. Then I decided to switch it up and fast travel back to The Spendopticon and saw The Debt Collector on the first try. Could have been just dumb luck but apparently it made all the difference for me.

Similar to others, I've killed the Debt Collector Mk II numerous times - well over 20 - and no luck on the achievement. I've tried various things between kills such as; clearing the cache, playing offline, playing on a different console, playing on Normal and TVHM.

I contacted 2k support and they said they can't do anything. Seems this may be one of those that just doesn't unlock for some folk.

When you get to where the Collector should be, there is a white-colored robot in the middle of the square.
Before killing it, look at the robot's name by aiming a weapon at it.
The white robot in the middle of the square is the same as the Collector, it's just the name of the robot that is different.
I must have teleported to Sanctuary about 30 times and back to that place to kill that white robot.
Then I finally got to see the white robot that had the name Collector

I finally got the achievement today. Ultimately I had to start a new character, spend 4-5 hours progressing through the story to get to the DLC, and then killed the Debt Collector Mk II after 6 reloads. Killed it numerous times on the previous character, so there's clearly a bug where a character save can get into a bugged state. Happy to uninstall this game now.

By oakdale7 on 14 Oct 2023 15:49
I think it's related to your level and chance of respawning the debt collector, changing the Mayhem for me to 1 it spawns, and yes it's RNG based.
My level is 72.

I didn't go back to Impound, I just quit out when I didn't see it, then reloaded back into Spendopticon. It took me 3 times this way, but I'm sure that's just luck. (I did it like 10 times in other ways.) The point being that you don't have to load out back and forth every time. I got it just by quitting and reloading the game from inside the Spendopticon.

I always seem to get a badass hot/ice loader spawn instead. Will he spawn in place of them when he does decide to appear, or do I need to kill some mobs to draw him out or something?

I finished all the other achievements last night and this is the LAST ONE. I tried it again again (after save/quitting/reloading 10 times until he showed) and it still didn't pop. Doing another character run. 😒

By GR34TD3STR0Y3R on 10 Oct 2021 23:49
Not sure if this was just coincidence but I had reloaded the spawn point and tried this method about 25 times with no luck. I was just running into the area where The Debt Collector was supposed to spawn and zooming in with my weapon, waiting to see what spawned, and when it was just a Badass Loader I would reload the save. On the time The Debt Collector actually spawned for me I had fully ran into the area almost to where he spawned instead of staying up on the ledge and waiting.

Again, could have been a total coincidence, but figured I would put it here just in case. Great solution!

Just got this on my 3rd load in. MUST ALREADY HAVE BEATEN THE SIDE MISSION SISTERLY LOVE FOR THE DEBT COLLECTOR TO SPAWN.
You also need mayhem mode unlocked for this guide/tip.

No need to sit thru 2 loading screens going back and forth between areas (if you finish the base game?). You need mayhem mode unlocked. Go to the checkpoint outside of Timmys hideout to the left and up the stairs to the checkpoint there. Then go check the debt collectors spawn area ( SAME AREA FROM THE SIDE MISSION SISTERLY LOVE ). If hes not there change your mayhem mode and the game will load you back at the checkpoint up the stairs. Rinse and repeat.

The spawn is completely RNG, so you might get lucky or be in for a long session.

This just cuts down the load times needed.

Hi All

The Debt Collector can be farmed after beating the sisterly love side quest in The Spendopticon, he is a very rare spawn it took me 7 attempts before he spawned in my game for a second time.

Took me about 30-40 attempts (or more because it felt like forever) taking 60-90 minutes (watched 3-4 episodes of a show on Hulu). I tried different load-in techniques in groups of 10.

Save/quitting and loading in near the hideout.

Note: The description for this trophy is very misleading, because there are actually 2 wandering Debt Collectors but only the second one (labelled as The Wandering Debt Collector Mk II) counts towards this trophy.

The spawn rate for the wandering Debt Collector is insanely low but there's nothing you can do except keep reloading the area until he appears. The wandering Debt Collector is a rare spawn enemy, who appears inbetween the Harts Wild and Lonely Hart's Klub Casinos at the following location in the Strip after completing the side mission in Spendopticon called "Sisterly Love":
 

 
Most of the time you will encounter another Badass Loader instead when you visit the area but if the wandering Debt Collector doesn't spawn in its place, then quit to the main menu, reload and take another look to see if he has appeared - rinse and repeat until he does.

Once he has spawned, kill him then the trophy will pop.

The likelihood of occurrence is extremely low.
For the trophy you need exactly: The Wandering Debt Collector Mk II / Collector 2.0
If suddenly it does not appear in the specified place, you should restart the session: exit the game and enter again using “continue”

Set the chaos level to 10 and the collector will appear immediately. At the normal level I rebooted 20 times, as soon as the chaos level was set to 10 it immediately appeared.
