How to unlock the Rootinest, Tootinest, Shootinest achievement in Borderlands - Definitive Guide

Like Thebloodytruth - I got this on the mission where you kill 10 Rakk in Arid Badlands. This is a more in-depth look at Thebloodytruth's solution 1:

You will probably have the ability to drive a vehicle by the "Kill 10 Rakk" mission. Select a vehicle with the rocket launcher as the turret weapon. Hop in the driver's seat and take off. Drive until the Rakk are grouped together and come flying at you. Lock onto the one of them with the A button and cut loose with the rockets. The resulting explosion usually damages surrounding enemies - which makes quick work of a pack of enemies.

Unless I'm missing something only the driver can press A to lock on to a target.

Do you have to do this yourself or do co-op kills also count during the 10 seconds?

mmm, never thought about the co-op part. I would guess (unless it works like Fable 2 achievements, "...you or someone in your world..." <---paraphrasing there) that you would have to be the one doing the killing and not the driver. Anyone else?

Let me clarify what I just typed about driver/gunner. IF you are playing by yourself, then you control the turret and the vehicle...this will allow you to easily lock on a pack of enemies and kill them.

IF you are playing co-op, I don't believe you can use the lock on feature. Whoever controls the turret must do it manually. IF you are in control of the turret, then I GUESS that you would get the achievement and not the driver. Again, that's a guess.

I got this achievement right outside Nine-Toes hideout, so it can be done very early in the game. If you don't see any Rakks, look for their shadows on the ground.

Easy way to kill Rakks:

Find a wall to put your back against. Shoot at the Rakks in the air but don't hit them. This causes them to dive at you and they come to attack together. Equip any automatic weapon (SMG or machine guns with a high rate of fire and not 3 round bursts are excellent). The just fire away as they dive at you all clustered together.

The key to this achievement is to unload a lot of bullets on a pack of Rakk. There are several things that you can do to make this easier, if you're having any trouble.

1. Complete a mission which requires you to kill Rakk. I unlocked my achievement on the mission in the Arid Badlands which requires you to do so.

2. Play with as many people as you can. The more players in your game, the more enemies that will spawn.

3. Play with lower-level players. While it may not be very entertaining to blast your way through low-level enemies, it will allow you to kill Rakk very quickly.

An easy way to do this is to use a car that you have spawned with a rocket launcher.
When you see a rakk shoot at it to get it's attention and wait for the pack to start diving and shoot a rocket at them.
They normally go out with one hit

If you have problems aiming from the car you can press the a button and it will "auto aim" on them and just shoot a few rockets (fast as you can) and it should get you the points :)


Note - to have the car aim with a you have to be alone in the car and in the drivers seat to the a button auto aim

I'm going to start out concurring with the general "wait until they dive in a pack", but using a rocket launcher made it heckuva lot easier for me than any of the times that I tried doing it with a gun.

I got this playing solo and just happened onto a pack of six of them together . . . pulled out the launcher, aimed, waited until they got low, and WHAM . . . got all six at once.

I did this on the northeast corner of Rust Commons West, near Tannis house. There are some Rakks hanging on the rocks there.

Just make sure you shoot some bullets near them to make them all fly together to attack you before start killing.

Like forced2change - I got this achievement on mission "Get the flok outta here". Instead of using the rocket method which should work for the most and is probably a little bit easier. I just used my SMG instead.

Another easy way to obtain this objective is to drive the vehicle right to the "Kill 10 Rakk" mission.
You can kill some Rakk with fire weapon, but my suggestion is to attract some of them by driving back and forth two or three time.
You'll find a quite number of Rakks just behind your vehicle.
Now all you have to do is a fast drive backwards, to kill all of them

easily done by completing the "Get the flok outta here" (or something like that) mission inside a machine gun vehicle. Using a rocket launcher vehicle requires more ability,but isn't impossible at all.

I got this by sheer luck, but think the strategy is sound, and as such quite easy.

If you head to the North West corner of the Arid Badlands, there is a flock of Rakk near the turnbine. I drove up there, and whilst i was manovering (i'd crashed as usual!), they all dive bombed me, dying when they hit the car. I wasn't even shooting them! The vehicle was moving slightly so this may have helped. Good luck!

Head to Skag Gully and head to the right side of the map.

Use a full auto weapon and fire at the rakk mobs that attempt to swoop you.

Optional* Eliminate any Skags that are within the area first.

Rakks are the bat-like creatures that fly in the air and swarm in groups of about 5. You should find swarms in different areas around the game or during the Rakk Hive fight when it shoots them out of its mouth. Simply shoot them as they swoop down and attack. On the quest "Get the Flock Outta Here" there is a hive near the windmills that you can get a lot to spawn.

Another method is to use the Siren class and use the phasewalk action-skill when they're within a close proximity. Because Rakks have fairly low health, they should die as you enter/exit phasewalk. -Thanks to KFZ Scrubs.

when you first enter the game there is a mission where T.K. Baha will give you a shotgun that does waves its weapon is the best choice for this achievement. find a group of rakks (preferably under your level) and use this weapon when they start diving at you. you can use other weapons i gained this with a rocket launcher and a lucky shot

Can easily be obtained during the mission "Get The Flock Outta Here" There will be over a dozen Rakks in the sky to target and kill. Best to use an automatic weapon or a weapon with corrosive or fire elements to it.

Super easy and can be collected with normal gameplay. Look for groups of Rakk flying around in the sky, find a group that contains at least 5 and fire one shot into the group. That shouldn't kill any but it will attract their attention and cause them to fly to you to attack. When you feel they are close enough fire into the group using (preferably) a machine gun. Since the Rakk stay in a close formation, taking out 5 in a 10 second period should not be a problem.

It's simple. We are looking in Arid Hills for a large pile of pink color with hair and holes. We approach and are attacked by flying creatures, such as pterodactyls.

The easiest way to kill them is with an SMG or assault rifle, but you can also try with a shotgun.

They are killed very easily and with proper skill it will not be difficult to kill 5 of them

In the Why are they here mission, in the first location you need to find two audio tapes. When you approach the second one, just 5 birds are flying in the sky. They are easily killed with a machine gun or a rapid-fire pistol.

It's best to do this with a MACHINE with a telescopic sight, just shoot and you'll get this trophy right away.
