How to unlock the Duelinator achievement in Borderlands - Definitive Guide

As the achievement description states, you must win a duel without taking any damage. This is an extremely easy achievement to boost with a friend or by using a second controller as it only takes a few seconds to complete a duel. If you are boosting with a friend, ask them not to attack you back. If this is the first duel you have ever won then you will also receive the Duelicious achievement.
BorderlandsDuel-iciousThe Duel-icious achievement in Borderlands worth 19 pointsWin a duel against another player


To start a duel with another player simply join a co-op game and then walk up to another player and melee them to propose a duel. They will need to melee you back to accept the duel.

If you have two controllers then setup a local game in the same fashion and duel your second player.

If you don't have a friend or a second controller to boost this with, try to learn the strengths and weaknesses of each class as you play co-op and use that to your advantage. You can also try to start a duel with another player that is a few levels below you and that will give you a strong advantage.

You might want to add that all you need to do for this achievement is play split screen with a second controller plugged in, initiate a duel, and (obviously) don't use the second controller to attack your player.

If you want to do this achievement legit then you can use the Beserker's ability to regain any lost health during your duel and this will still count as you not taking any damage.

When I got it, my friend and I were shooting at each other and I did take damage but then I activated the Beserker's ability and pummelled my friend. I assume I just had great timing as I guess you would have to be at full health by the time you win the duel but this is unconfirmed.

To get this achievement, the easiest way to do it in my opinion would be to start up a co-op game with two controllers, and start a duel with the second player. Just shoot at the second player until they are dead, and the achievement unlocks.

Just start a split screen game with 2 controllers connected and get this by yourself in seconds, just start the dual and shoot away.

The easiest way to get this if you don't have a friend to help works just like the 360 version. Log in on a guest account using a second controller on split screen. Walk up to your guest controller and initiate the duel by hitting the character then wait for the duel to start. Fire away and await your trophy to pop!

You can do this on splitscreen, system link, or over Xbox-Live. To start a duel, go up to a person in your group and melee them to initiate the duel. For them to accept the duel, they will melee you back. To do this just let one person attack the other while the other person does nothing. Then do the same for the other person. You must not receive "damage" but damage on the shield will not negate this achievement.

A very simple trophy. All you need is a second controller. We connect it and enter split-screen mode. Walk up to the character and hit him, and in response, hit your character with the second joystick. This will trigger a duel. After that, just shoot in the head and the trophy is yours.

Those with relatively high levels can enter online mode, pick up a shotgun, challenge a newcomer to a duel, and, when the duel icon appears in the center of the screen, fire shot at the victim. If you do everything correctly, the enemy will not have time to shoot.
