How to unlock the Master Exploder achievement in Borderlands - Definitive Guide

The easiest way to get this is when you get the car for the first time. Pick the rocket launcher turret and shoot 25 skags and bandits outside of the starting town. That was how I got it.

You will have to complete a fair number of quests before you get the car. About 15-20. I had to get to level 10 to complete the prerequisite quest.

You will be able to attempt this achievement after you have killed ”Bone Head” in the “Bone Head’s Theft” quest. Once you have repaired the Catch-A-Ride you can spawn a vehicles. Simply select the grenade launcher turret and you can now drive around shooting all the low level Skags and Bandits. You only need to kill 25 and then the achievement will pop up.

As the achievement says, all you need do is kill 25 enemies with an explosive-type weapon. Explosive weapons are one of the five types of weapons, and usually won't be found until you play for a while. You can see if a weapon is explosive by looking at its description.

The most common explosive weapons I've seen are sniper rifles. Keep in mind that launchers are not necessarily explosive-type.

I've heard that any glitched achievement can be solved by starting a new character. I don't know if you've tried that, but you might try unlocking the achievement with a new character.

There are 4 achievements in the game tied to elemental kills, now this can be a combination of kills with weapons, grenades, barrels that are scattered around the maps, vehicle rockets also count for this achievement.

You can tell if your weapons and grenade modes have specific elemental effects as they have an icon on them:
• Red Flame - Incendiary
• Blue Lightning Bolt - Shock
• Yellow Explosion - Explosive
• Green Radioactive Symbol - Corrosive
The barrels are also colour coded:
• Red/Orange - Incendiary
• Blue - Shock
• Yellow - Explosive
• Green - Corrosive

The easiest enemies to kill will be unshielded enemies like Skags, Rakk, Spiderants and lower level bandits, however it doesn't matter if they have a shield if your weapon is strong enough.

Get 25 kills with a combination of weapons, grenades, barrels and vehicle rockets and the achievement is yours.

Weapons and grenade mods in this game have different elemental types. You can tell what they are to the right of the stats on the gun. These can be bought in the store or looted from enemies and chests. Killing the enemies with the specific type of elemental weapon will count towards this achievement. You can check your progress on each elemental type in the challenges menu.

The rocket on your vehicle counts as an explosive weapon and will count towards this achievement. Adding elemental artifacts to your action skill will also count toward these achievements. -Thanks to KFZ Scrubs

This achievement can be easily obtained early on in the game. Once you have unlocked the catch a ride system, spawn a rocket runner. There is a bandit camp nearby as well as a lot of skags. You should be able to get the achievement there.

Easiest way to get this is by using the rocket turret in the vehicles from the Catch-a-Ride stations.
After gaining the ability to spawn vehicles via the catch-a-ride (story related), simple spawn a vehicle with the rocket and kill every skag and bandit you see until the trophy pops.

The trophy is not glitchy and is very easy to get on a typewriter by installing not a machine gun but a rocket launcher, in this way you drive and kill all living things (25 of any opponents and the trophy is yours)

The trophy is buggy!!!

Using a weapon with a modifier like the one on the icon, , kill 25 people.


How to deal with trophy glitches, see Facemelter

In general, I didn’t shoot with a weapon, they gave me grenades for murders.
