| Elemental Effects | 98% | |
| Description: In Borderlands some weapons have an elemental effect. These are usually very useful but there are drawbacks. Enemies might have special resistant shields or an elemental animal will naturally resist what you shoot it with. Here is a rundown of each elemental effect: Eridian - Whenever you find an Eridian weapon try shooting an enemy. Sometimes extra effects not mentioned in the description will occur. The 10101 Cannon is a good example of a Shock/Explosion combination element. Fire - When you tag an enemy with fire they take gradual damage until they die or it goes out. Fire damages enemies more if they're shield is gone. Additionally, enemies tend to freak out and lose accuracy when burning. Shock - Shock damage is like the reverse of fire. It deals an incredible amount of damage to an enemy's shield but loses effectiveness once they're down to their health meter. Also, enemies do not usually panic when shocked. Acid - Possibly the best all-around element. Acid damage easily eats through armored opponents (like Spiderants and Crimson Lance soldiers) and can spread to multiple enemies if they happen to touch each other while panicking. The only drawbacks to it are that Acid-type enemies are about 90% immune to it and if you try Iron-sight aiming the acid splash from your gun-muzzle can throw off your aim. Explosive - Not so much an element as a bonus. Randomly when you shoot an enemy with a bullet from an explosion-type gun it will explode and deal extra damage relative to the weapon's base damage. Try to aim for groups. | ||

| Defeating "The Destroyer" Boss Easy | 96% | |
| This creature is from another dimension and is massive with a health level to match. This creature is a mountain of flesh with several tentacles that can re-spawn as the battle progresses. The creature has a blue lighted cave that seems to be its eye. Most of the tentacles have a large glowing orbs about half way down their length. Shooting the orbs will destroy the tentacles. Start the battle by running toward the creature and then hiding behind a pillar that is located to the right or left just out of range for the tentacle’s reach. From here take out all but one tentacle that you can see easy from that point. Take out the ones you cannot see easy by peeking around and taking shots at the orbs but return to your hiding point. This pillar will shield you from missile like attacks and later from the eye that shoots a beam weapon. If you get reduced to zero health, then you can take out one of the orbs on the tentacle that you can see easy to be revived before you get killed and have to respawn. It is like killing another enemy! This was the reason to keep one tentacle. If you do get killed, the creature recovers all health but you respawn in front of the creature and again you can run to your piller of protection hiding place. A few times in the battle the tentacles will spawn and you have to take them out again. The tentacles are the source for the missile type weapon it attacks with. As you reduce the number of tentacles, it also reduces the about of missles flying at you. With the tentacles nearly gone now you can focus your attack at the mouth/tongue and its eye for critical shoot. Just continue this process when the tentacles respawn. Having weapons that have unlimited ammo or having ones that create ammo is a great help with the massive health level this Boss Has. Happy Hunting! | ||

| Easy experience & weapon proficiency | 95% | |
| Description: Use the following cheat to get easy experience & weapon proficiencies, as well as more weapons and cash by selling loot from dead enemies. How to: For this to work, make sure you do not kill everyone. Leave one enemy alive (preferably the little ones), otherwise the quest ends. Also, do not die.

Reload your game and re-rampage in the arena. When you exit, the game saves all your information. Reload your game. Once you are in "the middle of nowhere" you will eventually get a Thunderdome/Arena type quest called "Circle Of Slaughter". You can go into the game, enter the arena, and slaughter everyone except one enemy. *** There are three rounds, with the last one called" Final Round". Do not finish it if you want to repeat your work. You will earn easy experience, weapons proficiency, find nice loot, and money from selling all the items you do not want. | ||

| Eridian Cannon | 93% | |
| Alien equivalent of rocket launchers. They shoot a ball of energy that explodes on impact with an unkonwn elemental effect. Although it appears to be a shock effect, this may be a unique elemental type of its own. These balls fizzle out after some distance and are slow moving, making them harder for taking out moving targets. Variants of the gun can fire faster balls. Although it has an unlimited amount of ammo and requires no reloading, it has a limited amount of energy that slowly recharges after each use. Eridian guns can fire at most 2-10 shots before requiring a recharge. This particular gun's red text, "010011110100110101000111", is a binary code representing the ASCII for the letters "OMG", short for "Oh my god!" | ||

| Easy way to kill " The Destroyer" final boss. | 50% | |
| Easy way to kill "The Destroyer" final boss. Right, there's no doubt for any of you game lovers that this final boss battle can be very tricky to pull off. So Here's an easier way to avoid throwing your controller at the T.V. Use a strong sniper rifle equiped with fire or explosion capability. Carry at least 3-4 full health packs. Keep hold of Sledge''s shotgun, (GO BACK AND KILL HIM AGAIN TO GET THIS HE'S IN THE MINES LEVEL) Carry lots of shotgun ammo. At the start, quickly take out the tenticles with the sniper rifle running left and right to avoid the projectiles, then hurry right up to the top left and get as close to the boss as you can, get out Sledge's shot gun, this gun is extreamily powerful close up, the best in the game. Start shooting away at the body bottom of the boss, Now if you do this quickly enough the boss should grow some extra large mass at the base, if you are close enough still then this mass will protect you against the projectiles from the tenticles. Keep on using the shotgun at the body when your right up against it, crouch also for extra protection. You will be able to off load around 60 rounds of shotgun into the body (forget about the eye) doing this will take a bit of health off each time and eventually it will die and you will be relieved! Have fun, Regards.... The Judge. | ||
