How to unlock the Completionist achievement in Borderlands - Definitive Guide
Prison Claptrap- The clap trap is located in the "Lockdown Palace" , and will give you a standard Claptrap mission. You'll see the Claptrap on your way through the prison.
Thirsty the Midget- The midget is located in the "Sunken Seas" map area He is in a shack next to the only standing water. When you first enter the map area take the first highway offramp you see and then turn right towards the lake in the distance. The shack will be at the north end of the little lake. This quest giver will give you two quests.
Radar Locater- The last unannounced quest giver is actually a piece of equipment. You will find equipment in the "Roads End" map area. To get there from where you first enter the area make your way to the first Catch-a Ride station. Once there look over the cliff facing west. To your right you will see the gondola station and the cliff station it connects to. Now pull up your map and you will notice that there is a path around the the hilltop station to the west of it. Make your way to this entrance and walk south until you see a large cave opening that you are able to walk into, it will be on your left. (You can see it on your map as it juts out on the path.) Once in the cave you will see a shack, and inside the shack there will be a treasure case with the radar locater.
If you join a friend's game to kill Crawmerax make sure you have the mission unlocked and are eligible for it AND you're playing on the correct playthrough (i.e. 1 or 2). I had to play through this twice because I beat it with friends on playthrough 2 and Crawmerax was my last mission for this achievement.
That said I had to beat him again and turn the mission in for the achievement. Much easier solo that with 4 people.

Keep in mind that exiting the game and starting it back up will place you in T-Bone Junction every time-- so, if you've finished your round of quests at Road's End just save, exit, and load to take a quick shortcut back.
This achievement can get bugged on the Marcus missions.
These are his:
- Core Collection
- Mop Up
- Super-Marcus Sweep
- Local Trouble
- It's Like Christmas!
If you get stuck with Super-Marcus Sweep and It's Like Christmas at the same time, your game will get confused since they both involve doing the exact same thing of going into the armory to loot weapons. It will check off one mission but glitch another by only checking one of the three requirements.
The most likely way this will happen is if you join a hosted game in which the host has It's Like Christmas and you're not that far yet.
The only way I have found to solve this issue is to find someone on the same playthrough who has not yet completed the glitched mission. I only had two missions left so I joined random XBL games and was in luck that in one I joined they were doing my glitched mission. It then went green for me and I was able to turn it in.
An alternative is to complete the entire DLC again on your other playthrough. So if you started on playthrough two, you can choose to load playthrough one and go from there. Only to be used as a last resort though!
Edit: Note Bilkokuya's comment. It has a potential solution for fixing the glitched mission instead of having to find someone who has not yet completed it.
This can be solved fairly easily if you have a second controller. Much easier in my opinion than trying to find a random online player that is in the middle of this quest.
Start up an offline account, or choose one that you can start a new character on, and have that profile start up a split screen game. Second player will be your character stuck on any quests.
I'll suggest you have your main character complete every possible quest they can before starting this method.
Below, I'll post the quest sequence needed for the "It's like Christmas!" as that's the most "glitched" mission.
Fair word of warning: Have the "new" character turn in ALL quests. You can glitch a few of these. I glitched getting Athena out of prison. She's back in Scooter's place, but the "new" character can't turn in.
You'll need to knock out all the story line quests. Should be easy, as you're re-running your character through play through 1.

And, yes you're going to have to endure the endless "Hey, I've got quests for you!" from every other NPC. Don't pick up the side quests unless you're going after other glitched missions like Drifter Lifter (Kill Skyscrapper).
After the story quests are knocked out, you'll need to focus on four Marcus quests. Completing Mop Up unlocks Super-Marcus Sweep. Similarly, finishing Local Trouble unlocks It's Like Christmas!
- Mop Up
- Super-Marcus Sweep
- Local Trouble
- It's Like Christmas!
Just make sure you complete Super-Marcus Sweep before turning in Local Trouble, and your "new" character won't also glitch, possibly making you do another run through with yet another new character.
After this, your primary character should get the Bleep-Bloop. I hope this helps.
Now, let me start off by explaining the situation I was in, as it differs from other peoples experiences that I’ve read about. I DID NOT use the unlimited time glitch to stay in the armory when you have to destroy it in the main storyline mission, and I did not play with anyone so far during this DLC, but I have been signed into Xbox live. And let me point out before moving forward that the Marcus mission that glitched for me was Super-Marcus Sweep. The way that it glitched the first time was I went to the armory like it said, and General Knoxx was not present, and there was a red laser door blocking my progression to the control room. This was on a playthrough one, with a character I made specifically to do the Underdome Riot DLC, so none of the main story was completed on this character. The second time it glitched, it did the same exact thing as before, but this time I had switched characters completely, going to my original character that I beat the main story with, only difference was this was on playthrough 2.
The way I got this mission to un-glitch was actually very simple. I got up to the point where Knoxx wasn’t there, and the red laser door was up and I couldn’t go any further. I simply exited the game in frustration. I have to say, looking back on both of my experiences in trying to complete this quest, on my way to the armory both times from T-Bone Junction I noticed that all of the items dropped by the foes I fought were still on the ground. I found this to be odd since I cleared the area I was in several times. Anyway, I loaded up the game the next day with the hopes that something had changed, and I was correct! I went to the armory like normal, and everything happened the way it should have. I killed General Knoxx, the red laser door disappeared, and I went straight upstairs, where the next door opened and it let me into the control room like it should have.
Please, if you are having trouble, try this method and leave a comment if it works or not. I hope that it really is this simple of a fix to get this quest completed. I know that this is a nightmare to redo all of the missions, I myself redid them twice so far, I hope there aren’t any more complications down the road.
Thanks for taking the time to read this!
Note:
The quest "It's Like Christmas!" also glitched on me, and using the method stated above, it un-glitched. So I can confirm 100% this method does work! If you were having the same symptoms as me presumably, I don't know if it will work if the red laser door is gone and you can't get past the second door, I didn't have that issue.
I hope this solution helped! Leave a comment letting me know if there is any room for improvement! Thanks.
The quests are:
- Loot Larceny
- It's Like Christmas!
- Super-Marcus Sweep
These quests all require you to break into the Crimson Lance armoury, start the countdown on the bomb and then wait until the place explodes. I had all three in my mission log but once I killed Knoxx, I pulled right switch on the objective and then looted the chests. This completed all of the objectives for Super-Marcus Sweep but It's Like Christmas! still had the 'countdown started' objective unchecked. I pressed start and quit which saved my progress. When I loaded in, I was able to kill Knoxx again and access the armoury with It's Like Christmas! as my active quest which then counted as complete.
With both Marcus quests done, I let the armoury blow up only to find that the main quest Loot Larceny had not been updated at all. Luckily, I had not turned any of them in yet so I looked for solutions online and spent over an hour throwing health kits at the locked vault door to try and glitch myself inside. After getting annoyed/bored, I decided to try one last thing which was to save my progress and quit. Luckily, this again respawned Knoxx and allowed me access to the armoury but this time I pulled the left switch which progressed Loot Larceny and allowed me to finish the DLC.
Essentially, do the two side quests first and then the main quest by saving and quitting after each one is complete without turning any of them in.
I don't know if this will work for everyone, but it saved me from having to go through the entire DLC a second time so if you end up having all 3 quests in your mission log at once before you get to the armoury, try to follow me step-by-step and hopefully this garbage won't mess up for you.

Below is a list of all missions available in this DLC. They are separated by area you receive them with the quest giver in parentheses. You must complete all of these missions in the same playthrough in order to get the achievement. In other words, playing all but one mission in playthrough 2 and the other in playthrough 1 will not net you the achievement.
