Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition

***It appears that this has now been patched, meaning you have to now play the maps without skipping any rounds!***

I will not talk as much about strategy as the other guides because my method is straight forward and utilizes a glitch.

Prep: There is preparation for this glitch to be done consistently. I suggest playing on playthrough 1 (so enemy levels cap at mid 30's) and farming for a strong enough combat rifle that you could 1 shot all level 30 enemies.

How to Skip Rounds: This glitch makes it possible to skip half the levels in a single match.
You first have to progress to the 5th or Boss wave of any round, You then have to camp the stage where the boss spawns so you can kill it soon as you can. Using a combat rifle will provide consistency if you pre-fire the boss. If you killed the boss quickly enough, the curtains should shut with the lesser enemies still alive. DO NOT kill these lesser enemies yet! Instead, wait for a timer to start counting down from ten. Around 5 or 6 seconds you should kill them so it 'ends' the round. When the countdown reaches 0 the game should bring up your stats just as normal. Hit cn_A so that the menu is closed. Soon after you should see another 10 second countdown start. It should bring up the same exact stat menu as before. The game may say you haven't skipped a round right away, however, if you seen two 10 second timers, the game will eventually readjust itself into skipping a round.

If the way I explained it was confusing. I've provided a video of me doing the glitch below:

NOTES:
1. This glitch can be performed every boss wave. The only exception is on sledge it doesn't seem to work. Even on Hanz and Franz. Long as you kill Hanz on the left, but leave Franz alive till the ten second countdown.

2. This can be done in either multiplayer or solo.

3. It works in both versions of the game.

4. This works on ANY map not just The Gully.

5. The enemies scale to the host so you can have lower level weapons do enough damage to insta kill the bosses.

If you have anything else to add leave a comment! If you leave a thumbs down comment why so I can help you :)

As you may know, imported characters do not carry this achievement over. Also, the round skip glitch has been patched. My method to get this was simple, and it works best if you have a friend with a higher level character that can handle the kills for you. Here are the steps:

1. Start a new character and progress through the story until you power up the Catch-a-Ride stations for Scooter at the very beginning of the game. Once the stations are powered up, you can use the fast travel station outside Zed's to go to the Underdome.

2. You will probably be around level 5 at this point. Make sure YOU are hosting the game and have a higher level friend join the game to handle the kills. This is a time commitment however, depending on the levels involved. I was level 7, enemies scaled to level 12 and my friend was level 49. In that configuration it took about 3 hours (with some breaks), around 1400 kills total I believe.

3. You can find a hiding spot on the edges of the map. If you're far enough away, the enemies won't mess with you. However it shouldn't matter if you get downed, you won't be high enough level to help
