Great video, made this a breeze. However I would suggest finding meat Popsicle elsewhere. At level 50 you will be shooting at him for roughly 5 minutes before he dies at level 61. I think I managed to find him at least 4 times in random locations.

The first midget in your video is level 61.. I'm only 44 (after beating the main game, zombies & the first 3 missions on the Moxxi dlc).. is there another one anywhere, that's in my range?

The reason the midgets in the video are high level is because he is playing it on a playthrough other than 1. I have been able to find all but one midget on playthrough 1and they were all 5 levels below me.

Your friends can kill the midgets as long as you are in the game they will count. My friends and I have been working on Secret Armory of General Knoxx for a few weeks now, and I have not killed one loot midget, but once my friend killed the last midget, the achievement popped for all three of us.

this sucks. next time make a vid where i dont have to go from one side of the game to the other everytime to one midget! Group them together to save people time! watch whole vid first then get midgets or you will be running all over the place for nothing!

Thanks JODAW,
@LIZARD VIKING, I tried to find them in the order in which you progress throught the game. Also the game is setup like hub so regardless of which side you go to first you're going to have to travel across the map in order to find all of the midgets as some are on complete opposite parts of the map.

Idk why i cant get the cheevo. I played split screen and my uncle killed ALL the loot midgets for me since he was a higher level. We killed like 3 MINI STEVES, 1 DUMPSTER DIVER, 2 MEATSICLE MIDGETS, 1 CRIMSON MIDGET, and 3 TREXICAN WRESTLERS. Anyone know wat im doing wrong?

Thanks. I found them all where the video says apart from the Lockdown Palace Midget, Truxican Wrestler , who was in a locker on the opposite side. Also Mini Steve wasn't originally in the bandit camp at the North, and I did a couple of missions and then his red crate spawned.

I was gonna give you a positive vote for the vid but dude you had us driving all over the place, we coulda got 2 at one time on the ridgway route and 2 on the crimson tollway route, then you don't explain/remind us where your 5th one is because you say we'll get it when we do the mission. Ok, so what if I already DID that mission and I'm going back for this cheevo and now I have to spend extra time researching where it is. Just say where it is. Anyways, I know you tried but next vid group stuff together better and say where things are, not everyone gets cheevos in order ya know facepalm

Excellent video, but I found Meat Popsicle elsewhere. When I initially found him in T-Bone Junction, he was level 61, and I was too low to do anything other than run. I ran into him elsewhere during my quests, and he was only mid 50s then. Ran across two Truxican Wrestlers too.

u should have made the video to where as people wouldnt have to drive all over the map like when u say oh now we go back to the under dome and also the sunken sea or whatever its called it makes people drive a lot longer and is extremely time consuming.

I'm not convinced this can be done split screen as I was playing with my GF for ages and never popped this. As soon as I attempted it single player it popped after killing two midgets. Also they are not always in exactly the same box as the video but if you just look at some boxes near by they will be in one of them in the general area, so all-round good video / solution. Thumbs up here!

Good video, however 3 of the five midgets were in different spots within a small radious of the specific locations. (I.E; container located around the corner from specified one or a different locker on the other side of the room...etc...) All i had to do was poke around for about thirty seconds till the "vertically challenged" person popped out.
Thanks for the video.

This is taken straight from the Borderlands GOTY Edition Strategy Guide, so all credit goes to Brady Games.

Let me preface this by saying that I found each Loot Midget exactly where the Strategy Guide said they would be. I don't think they are random, instead I think there are multiple locations where they can be found.

1. Mini-Steve - Inside a red chest in the southeast bandit camp in the Deep Fathoms area.

2. Meat Popsicle - In the Sunken Sea area, get on the freeway and stop underneath the Dahl sign. On your right you will see a set of stairs, walk down and find a fridge around the corner of the small building with Meat Popsicle inside.

3. Truxican Wrestler - Immediately upon entering Lockdown Palace, search all of the lockers in the first long hallway.

4. Dumpster Diver - Accept the "Little People, Big Experiments" mission from Thirsty and head to the waypoint marker. Take down Motorhead and search the dumpster within the garage.

5. Crimson Shorty - Just before you enter The Crimson Armory, there will be two Crimson Lance chests. One of them will contain your final Loot Midget.

If you're finding it difficult to locate one of these guys, there are a few that are listed twice within the guide. Message me and I will look to see if I can find an alternate location for you. Good luck and happy hunting!

I cannot put my dlc in cloud for this game. I have this mission and secret armory missions also left only two left achievement wise. I had the GOTY edition for 360. I dont feel I should have to rebuy the game. Can I somehow vet these last two achievements without having to rebuy the dlc for them on my one?Any help would be helpful pls. Thanks

Meat Popsicle, Truxican Wrestler, and Mini-Steve can all be found in Lockdown Palace.

to ONE CEL JUGGALO - If you can download the backwards compatible game to your Xbox One, all DLC is included in that install. I was confused when I came back to this game initially because I couldn't find how to install the DLC. I did find out though that you do not need to install separately. I'm not sure if that answers your question or not, and it's like 7 months after you asked, but figured I'd try lol.

I think it's a lot harder to kill them than it is to find them. (Truxican wrestler sending me airborne and jumping all over the place at super speeds.) But loot everything like the game wants you to and finding them is easy.

I just wanted to point out that you can always exit to menu, and then reload your save, for a quick jump back to T-Bone Junction. The game never puts you back in the previous area and it will always reload out in TBJ. This can be super helpful with all of the driving back and forth to complete the objectives in this DLC. Hope this helps!

Utterly spot on, mate. Every Midget was where you listed. One point: Mini Steve. I had to do some other research using the Borderlands Wiki and some message boards, because your description - " Inside a red chest in the southeast bandit camp in the Deep Fathoms area." - was not only vague but entirely misleading. A better description would be "The northwest bandit camp on the landmass south of the highway."

There's a wiki page with a picture of the precise location Mini-Steve's crate may be found here: http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Deep_Fathoms:_Weapon_Crate...
The chest in question is Chest 7 (Red). It appears that if it's there, it will contain Mini-Steve. If he hides elsewhere, the chest will not even be there.

Otherwise though, this was a very helpful guide. Thankyou very much!

(Oh, I also found multiples of one of the Loot Midgets, though I don't remember which one. There are definitely multiple spawn points for each one, but IncrediBoy's locations worked a treat for me.)

There are 5 different loot midgets you must kill in order to get this achievement. They do show up randomly and it is going to be different for everyone. Each one of the 5 come out of 5 different things.

Dumpster Diver: I found him where i killed motorhead in the dumpster.

Meat Popsicle: He is found in a fridge, i found him in the sunken sea in a midget village

Mini Steve: He is found in a red weapon container. I found him in the lockdown palace

Truxican Wrestler: He is found in a locker. I found him in the lockdown palace

Crimson Shorty: He is found a lance weapon container. I found him before you enter the armory theres a lance container sitting there

So when your searching for the midgets make sure to look in those type of containers, its never going to be the same area i figured that out watching the video because the video didn't help me much

Helpful, thanks.

It's worth noting that midgets that you kill in your 1st playthrough count towards your 2nd playthrough as well (I killed mini steve in my first, and the rest in 2nd).

There are 5 Loot Midgets in Total. They are found in weapon chests or lockers (From what I found)
1) Mini Steve - Found in Lockdown Palace
2) Truxican Wrestler - Found in Lockdown Palace
3) Meat Popsicle - Found in Lockdown Palace
4) Crimson Shorty - Found in the bottom of Road's End
5) Dumpster Driver - Found in a Dumpster in the same room as Motorhead

HINT: Search every weapon chest and locker you see, and also some of them can be found in more than one place.

i have found 8 of the buggers actually. [lol]

four in Lockdown Palace. one of them is before you fight Shank, and the other three are after you rescue Athena and you are leaving the prison. just open all the loot bins you can find! lockers and chests and all! and make sure to look around every corner! one or two of these ones can easily be missed! [lol] there's one in T-Bone Junction (facing scooters, go right, turn left before the hill and go down [not up]. the final hut on the right will have two ammo crates and a switch on the wall in the back. hit the switch then go open the door on the other side. he's in the only loot bin in there. he will be level 61 no matter what playthrough you're on. i sugest leaving this one for last. i did it at level 50 and it was a pain in the ass) one at the end of Road's End before you enter into the Crimson Armory. he's in one of the newer looking weapon crates. one is in a red weapon crate in the "Restore Took Pump" area during the Purple Juice quest, which is in Sunken Sea. follow Shaq Slam's picture to find the Purple Juice quest. and finally, one is in the same room you fight Motorhead. you get the mission to kill Motorhead after you finish and turn in the Purple Juice quest.

it took me all 8 of them for the achievement to pop. I don't remember all their names, but each one had a different name.

i hope it helps.


EDIT:
"I have fought seven of them, but only four of them count because three times they were repeats ( loot midgets with the same name but found in different places. ) you only have to get five, but they must all be different ones. The first four can be found easily in many different places but the fifth can only be found in the same location as motörhead."

There are five loot midgets that you must locate and kill in order to obtain this achievement. They are as follows:

Mini Steve: you can find him anywhere, but he has the highest likelihood of spawning in the red chest near a Claptrap in Locdown Palace

Tuxican Wrestler: located in the first lockers in Lockdown Palace; it is possible for another to spawn later in the palace

Meat Popsicle: located in a fridge in Lockdown Palace past the vending machines in the mid section of the level; a level 61 Meat Popsicle can be located in a hidden room under T-Bone Junction

Crimson Shorty: located in a Crimson Lance chest at the end of Road's End

Dumpster Diver: located in a dumpster (of all places) in Motorhead's Garage and can only be reached when the "Little People, Big Experiments" quest has allowed you to access this room

To unlock this trophy, you must kill all 5 of the following loot midgets:

1) Mini-Steve. Can appear anywhere, but is most commonly encountered in a red weapons chest near the Claptrap in Lockdown Palace.

2) Meat Popsicle. In a fridge in Lockdown Palace (just after the vending machines in the middle of the level and can appear in others). A level 61 Meat Popsicle can be found in a hidden room under T-Bone Junction.

3) Truxican Wrestler. In one of the first lockers of Lockdown Palace.

4) Dumpster Diver. In the dumpster in Motorhead's garage, and can only be reached once the Little People, Big Experiments mission has unlocked access to this room.

5) Crimson Shorty. Hidden in a Crimson Lance Chest at the end of Road's End.

Upon killing the last midget needed, the trophy will unlock. Below is an excellent video detailing locations of each midget:. Credit goes to David Solorio.


Happy Hunting :)

Loot midgets are fairly tough little buggers that jump out of various loot containers. They come in five varieties and can sometimes be found in multiple locations. Below is a list of the types of loot midgets and at least one of their locations:

Meat Popsicle: Hides in refrigerators. Can be found in the lowest portion of T-Bone Junction or in the midget village in Sunken Sea

Dumpster Diver: Found in the dumpster in the area where you kill Motorhead

Truxican Wrestler: Found in one of the lockers at the beginning of Lockdown Palace

Mini Steve: Found inside normal red weapons chests. Can be found in one in Lockdown Palace

Crimson Shorty: Found in one of the Crimson Lance Chests at the end of the Road's End map (just before the Armory)

In addition, there are 5 types of dwarf thieves, in order to get it you need to kill each type at least 1 time:
Meat Popsicle: In the prison after you kill Jerome and Mr. Shank (Mr. Shank) will threaten you, go a little straight and you will find this dwarf in the refrigerator.
Truxican Wrestler: Found in the prison in one of the first lockers on the left.

Mini Steve: There are several places where you can find this dwarf. He hides in red chests (but only some). Like the previous dwarfs, you can find him in prison in a red box in another opposite the Claptrap who is in trouble.

Crimson Shorty: This dwarf hides in the chests of "spearmen" (like Mini Steve only in certain ones) and can often be found during mission 14 (Loot Larceny). If you turn 180 degrees from the entrance to the armory (to the place where you will fight the general), the Kalika can be found in the chest on the left.

Dumpster Diver: During the mission "Little People, Big Experiments", this dwarf hangs out in the trash bin in the room where you find Motorhead.
