How to unlock the The Lubricator achievement in Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition - Definitive Guide

Hello everyone
This is just a guide for the collectibles in Borderlands GOTY edition (Panties, Fish in a bag, Pizza, Bobbleheads, Oil cans and 3D Glasses) which I noticed that the guide wasn’t really up to date/efficient as it could be. I spent 30 minutes doing this farming strategy and received (I know that its RNG but just citing what I got) 11 Pairs of Pink Panties, 12 Fish in a bag, 7 Slices of Pizza, 4 Bobbleheads, 9 Oil cans and 11 pairs of 3D Glasses.

The strategy is farming Minac but its more refined (still active farming), it requires you to have a shotgun that regens ammo plus another shotgun of your choice (I chose a SES shotgun (ZPR630.3 Fatal Crux) due to its larger mag size, high fire rate and its legendary ability) but you could use any gun also as it has a high damage per hit plus high fire rate. Also I had the shotgun skill maxed at 50 for increased damage, faster reload speed and higher rate of fire.

What to do:
Select the character you want to play as (I was a siren spec’d with Girl power (regens shields after a kill), Phoenix (Killing an enemy causes you to do fire damage and not make your shots count (25% chance to save ammo)), Quicksilver (increased fire rate), Slayer (critical damage), Enforcer (increased accuracy and bullet damage after a kill) and high velocity (increase bullet damage and bullet velocity) and select play through 1. Afterwards run through Wayward Pass and get to the final boss fight. Once you reach the boss destroy all of the turrets (3 on each side, 2 on the back and 1 missile turret on the front) and proceed to farm the claptraps coming from the front of Minac. I just swapped between my SES shotgun and my ammo regen shotgun when needed.

Sorry, this Game Clip has been removed




After a fair amount of time you should be able to get all the collectibles using this strategy.

This is my first guide so if theres anything I missed or left out or you have a way to refine it more and use mine as a template, please feel free to comment.

Literally farmed this over two hours with a friend online. Hit the twenty-five oil cans requirement (kept count on paper) and the achievement pops for him, but not me... I'm incredibly angry now.

I would just like to say no clue what the drop chance on oil cans is, but I've gone the entire dlc, almost done with tannis's questline, and I've only had 1 oil can drop, the rng here hurts

Yeah the RNG kills this. I've spent close to 3 hours just chillin in a 'safe' spot near Minac and got the Panties, Fish, and 3D glasses needed, and only 1 Pizza, 1 oil can, and 3 bobbleheads. Besides the fact that you need 15-25 of those makes it even worse. =(

Is this cumulative or does it have to be one go?

It is cumulative, I did the others in a number of sessions. These oil Cans have a ridiculously low drop rate.Close to 10 hours farming them and still about 15 short.

Its seems currently this method is slightly bugged. If you stay too long in the arena you'll get an infinite save logo in the top corner. When this appears your collectables stop counting.

Do these collectible achievements track across both PT1 and PT2(.5) or do they need to be done in a single playthrough?

to get oil cans you need to kill claptraps and they have a very low drop rate unfortunatly,

The best place to farm the claptraps is by going to hyperion dump from tartarus staions, once you’re in hyperion dump go north a bit and you’ll see bunch of claptraps spawning kill all of them and save & quit to make them all respawn, keep farming them to get the 25 cans.

You can also kill the Claptraps where the main boss is located. Just make sure you don't kill it. The Claptraps will just keep respawning.

You can get this trophy by killing claptraps. Like the other collection trophies you can either farm the Hyperion Dump or MINAC (destroy all the turrets and then just kill all the claptraps that come out of it). Sadly this drop is luck of the draw

As well as dropping parts, there's a chance that defeated enemy Claptraps may also drop other items as well. The probability of this is quite low, so it should be noted that you’ll be spending most of your time on this trophy and the ones which follow.

The additional items that can be dropped are as follows:

Pink Panties
Clap-Fish (Fish In A Bag)
Pizza
3D Glasses
Claptrap Bobblehead
Offshore Oil Can

There is a very good trick which has recently come to light which may help you speed things up. You'll need to go to the MINAC boss again, and take cover behind the overturned bus. Wedge yourself in between the bus and the rock and crouch - neither the boss or the exploding Claptraps will reach you. The Claptraps will simply explode and drop their items, or get run over by the MINAC when it moves. You can literally stay here for hours and then finish off the boss and collect everything when you've had enough. There's a chance that some of the turrets may hit you when the boss moves near you though, so if you wish to be extra cautious you can take these turrets out and then there's no chance that anything will hit you. If you don't receive all of the items that you require, then you can return to fight the MINAC again because he will always respawn.

Please be aware that there is no in-game counter for these collectibles, so I would highly recommend that you make a list of the number of each item you have yourself.

Alternatively, you can try this method. This one is quicker but you will have to kill all of the Claptraps yourself. Thanks to Terminator for recommending the video, and to 1212mhughes1212 for making it:

The most tedious trophies for collecting all sorts of nonsense. It's best to collect in the arena with the final boss. First, we hide in the booth where Klaptrap was hiding at the very beginning of the game, and shoot the turrets near the boss. Then we run after him, kill small robots and collect loot. The main thing is not to fall under the boss's tracks.

by and large, you can spend more than one day running after the main boss, first we shoot his turrets and then, using the video, we stand on a stone (preferably the second one) and go watch movies or mind our own business - there will be just a lot of loot
