Borderlands 2 Hints & Cheats

Hints and cheats provided by GameFAQs. Know something we don't?

Cheat Codes

  1. Extra Wub

    To unlock extra wub, go to the title screen(where it says push start) and do the konami code, up up down down left right left right O X start. Under gameplay it will unlock extra wub, but sorry, it does literally nothing.

Secrets

  1. Badass Rank Farming

    To build a high Badass Rank, and gain all the perks associated with it, create a pair of new characters in co-op mode and have player 1 beat player 2 in 50 duels. This gives 166 Badass Ranks. Save and quit, then start another new game, creating another new character for player 1 (don't bother messing with player 2's character). Fight another 50 duels, with player 1 winning them all for 166 more Badass Ranks. Repeat as desired, and delete the pile of unwanted characters when you're done.. If you set the controller configuration to something where you can just keep tapping the melee-attack button without ruining your aim at the other player, you can finish a duel-run like this in roughly 10 minutes. Thus, over the course of one hour, you can build up 996 Badass Ranks.

Glitches

  1. Item Duping

    Place the desired item(s) on a character, and ready or create a second character to take on as many of the item as you wish. Start a two-player co-op game with the first character as player 1 (and the other character as player 2, obviously). Give desired item(s) to player 2 and have player 2 save and leave game. Quit game from PS3 system menu. Because the game doesn't save player 1 when player 2 leaves, nor when you quit from the system menu, now both players have said item(s). Repeat as desired (for faster duplication, transfer all copies of the item to player one, save-and-quit with both, and start over with the duplicates on player 1).
  1. Allowing secondary characters to reach level 20 easily. [Pre-Patch]

    When you have a character reach Tiny Tina do all of her side missions until you make it to the final stage of her tea party. Here she wants you to lure Flesh-Stick to her little cove to join her tea party. Since you can fail this mission by killing him you can actually repeat that over n over for experience. On top of that if a second controller is available and you wish to make another character but don't want to level them up the normal way you can have that created person join your session and have them run all the way to Tiny Tina. If you keep them in front of her and your main character in front of where Flesh-Stick walks out you can kill him and re-accept the mission as fast as your trigger finger allows making anyone reach roughly 20-21 in a matter of minutes.
