How to unlock the Depot Demolition achievement in Borderlands - Definitive Guide
Explore the rooms and if you get full and want to sell some guns, just use a rocket to kill yourself (you will lose money, but the guns should compensate) and you will respawn near the vending machines and from here you can just walk back to the armory, glitch through and keep looting. Even if you jump from the highest point you will not die, so don't waste your time, just use the rockets. There are about 4 levels so make sure you poke around to find all of them.
You can also exit the game and restart when done to refill the chests, but you will have to kill Knoxx again, which is worth it in my opinion. Enjoy!
This glitch is still in effect as of August 2012, any updates to say whether it still works after that date would be appreciated.
If your Armory run is done on one of the quests that Marcus gives you (so anything other than the first quest into the Armory), don't go into the area under elevator as it will complete one of the objectives out of order and screw up your quest completion. If this happens, Dashboard immediately and then reload your game. This will reset that quest's progress and you'll be fine.
NOTE: I understand that it is not a true solution, but I would like people to be aware of this (possibly intentional) glitch so they can better enjoy the game.
Here is an example video with some extra tips, which I do not take credit for (credit goes to the cool British guy, DrSkelde):
Go through this glitch on your second play through and you'll find much better stuff, higher level weapons than you will on your first play through.
make your way to road's end, head south to the place marked on your map, to make it easier though, have the Knoxxed Out mission active, at the end you should see the Crimson Armory door, head across to the markus guns and sell as much as you can, you'll know later, head through the 2 containers, up a short incline, go right a bit, through a corridor, use the elevator, short cut scene, then kill knoxx, you'll have devastators, medics, troopers to deal with, they are a pain, but you've dealt with them defore, so should be no probs, on your map head left, up some stairs, enter the code from the left: DARK BLUE, YELLOW, LIGHT BLUE, ORANGE. door opens, athena will talk to you, press the button, then you'll have about 2 minutes to grab as much gear as possible, sorted done, cheese mint comes up after credits!!!!,
If i've missed anything sorri, had to remember after the cheese mint popped up, memory bad, old age you know how it is!!!
1 you need two controllers and a dummy account.
2nd have dummy account as main and split screen
3 2nd account should be glitched one load high level player play t 1
4 start game as soon as u can teleport to tbone j doit
Your just going to run through all the Main missions as yr strong character. Make sure u have the weak one 1 have there missions active. A for example to rescue Athena weak player must talk to her. Once u get to fight Knox beat him with strong character have weak set code and expo munitions complete mission and at end of credits chevo should pop for both. Commet if neg so I know what went wrong it worked for me perfect in one try.
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.
After you complete the quest "Bridge the Gap" you will enter Road's End and receive the quest "Armory Assault." Your goal here is to kill General Knoxx, enter the code to the Armory (Blue, Yellow, Cyan, Orange) and blow up the Armory. The only difficult part of this for some may be killing General Knoxx. The easiest way to defeat him is to use a highly corrosive weapon on him. Also, be sure to kill any medics that appear right away. They love to drop their healing turrets which heal Knoxx very quickly. After Knoxx is dead, the rest of the mission is self explanatory.
GLITCH WARNING: In order to avoid your game glitching and making the Armory permanently closed, you must do the following:
- Do not quit out of the game once you enter the elevator shaft. Wait until the Armory explodes and the credits are done to quit out.
- Don't have the quests "Super Marcus Sweep" or "It's Like Christmas" in your quest log.
Happy Hunting :)

After the general is defeated, a passage will open for you where you will soon have to activate the bomb, as soon as you activate it you will have the opportunity to collect weapons from the boxes in the armory (and there are a ton of boxes there), and get out of there. You are given 3 minutes to do all this; in fact, you can be in the armory until the explosion, because... near the splash screen you will be reborn near the armory without losing your weapons and money. Oh yes, in addition to weapons and self-satisfaction you will receive a trophy =)
