Introduction:
Borderlands 2 follows the story of four new Vault Hunters as they fight to free Pandora from the clutches of Handsome Jack, the brilliant, charismatic, and utterly despicable CEO of the Hyperion Corporation.
Playthroughs:
This can get a little confusing, so I've decided to show the output of how many playthroughs it should take you here. So below is a quick breakdown of it all.
For the 4 character based achievements, Salvador and Zer0 will cause you the most issues. This is because you have to level up one certain Skill Tree on each of them to reach certain Skills to then be able to unlock their achievements. Luckily there's a way around this, but it will take time.
This is based off you either starting with Salvador or Zer0. Play the game how you like and buy whatever Skills you want from whatever Tree you like. But, if you do not stick to the right one for the whole thing, you will have to Respec at some point to obtain the achievements for these two characters.
You will have to level up enough, that you can unlock the Skills needed first, which are on Tier 6 of a certain Tree. Then you'll have to Respec your points and put them onto the right Tree. Putting all of this into perspective, it's quite hard to nail down a precise number of playthroughs it'll take you, but below I've tried my best.
Salvador (Starting character): 1½/2 - Unlock 47 achievements. If you didn't buy the right Skills, you'll have to Respec.
Zer0: ¾/1 - Unlock 1 achievement. If you didn't buy the right Skills, you'll have to Respec.
Maya: ¼ - Unlock 1 achievement.
Axton: ¼ - Unlock 1 achievement.
Co-op/Online:
There's only one achievement relating to having another player online. This is "Friendship Rules" where you'll need another player who is on your friends list. Please see the guide for more information.
Misc:
These achievements won't unlock through natural progression, you'll have to do something to obtain them. From the list given, most are pretty simple but some may take a little bit of time and thought.
Some will require you to use all 4 characters and their Actions Skills, complete certain challenges and so forth. None are too difficult to obtain though, they may just take a while.
Conclusion:
Achievement wise, this game is very straight forward, fun and easy enough to get the full 100%.

Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate's Booty
Playthrough:
Welcome to the first DLC for Borderlands 2, Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate's Booty. Overall the DLC shouldn't take you too long to complete and it's quite fun to play. Like the main game, you shouldn't have any major issues getting the new 125.
The only thing that may take you some time or cause you some trouble are the 2 new raid bosses. These guys are a lot harder than the ones from the main game, so grab yourself a team and hopefully all will go well.

Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage
Step 1: Main story
Your first step should be to complete the main story of the DLC, which consists of 12 missions, including the final mission, ''Long Way To The Top'', which upon completion will unlock the achievement, 'Explosive' for your first 40.
Step 2: Side missions/Collectibles
Next you should proceed to complete all side missions that have been introduced with this DLC. All of the side missions are shown on any map that you are currently on by a yellow exclamation mark, or are shown in your journal, either by an orange question mark for discovered side missions, or by a white exclamation mark for undiscovered missions. Completing all side missions will earn you a further 40
After completing all side missions, you should then proceed to find all the collectibles. There are only 10 that you need for the achievement, but they are not in set places in the world, rather, they are randomly dropped from certain enemies(primarily 'Bad-Ass'' enemies), so the amount of time it will take for you to find 10 is mostly down to how lucky you are to have them drop from enemies. This achievement is reportedly glitchy and can take more than 10 to unlock, although it will unlock eventually, its just a matter of how many pictures more than 10 you may need. When you do get this achievement to unlock, you will have earned yourself the final achievement worth 45.

Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt
Step 1: Story
The story is very easy to go through, even on playthrough 2. However there are two somewhat tricky parts involving the last level. One part asks you to activate the bridge. It is a bit confusing but you need to just shoot at the bridge across the chasm a few times.
The other is the end boss Jackenstein. Make sure you have a good corrosive weapon. You need to shoot at the power cells on his back before you can start to shoot at his body. You'll take out one power cell and then he'll jump up to a ledge with a shield. Take out most of the Hyperion robots and he'll jump back down for you to hit the other power cell. He will jump up again and you will need to take care of more robots. When he finally jumps down, unload into his chest/head region and he'll lose a 1/4 of his health when you hit him enough automatically. Making this boss not as intimidating as it seems. Do this one more time and he will die. See "Face Off" for more tips and a video guide.
Step 2: Side Quests + Raid Boss
This DLC has a total of 13 side quests. 11 of these are quite easy and should each only take a few minutes to complete. One of them however requires you to kill several rare enemies of each type. It is advised to activate all side quests as soon as you get them so you can kill a handful through natural progression. These enemies are much more common than Chubby's but they still have about a 1/10 chance of spawning. If you end up reaching a waypoint and the creature isn't spawning then save, quit, and start the game up again. It should spawn.

Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep
Step 1 - Campaign
Playing through the campaign or main story or main story of the game will easily net you five achievements. "I Totes Planned That Boss," "Yaaaaaay," and "Shorty, You So Best" will give you 95. While playing through the story you should obtain "They Was All "Hey That's Mine"" for 20
with ease due to several battles having 10+ of the enemies required. "Hmmmmm" for 15
can be gotten while playing through the last chapter. You pass the room where Mr. Miz is in while climbing up from the dungeon.
Step 2 - Side Quests and Miscellaneous
Once you're done playing through the campaign its time to run through and do a few side quests and do some minor things. Start with "Girl's Gotta Eat" by going back to Flame Rock Refuge and talking to the Queen and then feeding her some eridium. Once you have done that head to Hatred's Shadow and follow the map and video under "It's Like That One Video". Once you are there just simply shoot the cave a few times and it will die giving you the achievement. It has health like a regular enemy so it shouldn;t take that long.
Once you have dealt with those 2 achievements go talk to Moxxi at her tavern and she will give to find Murderlin. When you get to him he will give you a quest to partake in his survival arena. There are 6 rounds to get through each being slightly more troublesome than the last.Once you have complete the 6th round the badass round and turn in the quest you will get "Dang Girl You Ace At This Game".
Step 3 - Raid Boss
Now for the raid boss, 4 dragons! You will need to pay 20 eridium to get to the raid boss so have some ready. The boss is in The Lair of Ininite Agony. Once you have beaten the 4 dragons the achievement "Make it Raaaaaid" will pop right away. After the raid boss there are a bunch of dice chest, so if you have not gotten "Keep Rollin' Rollin' Rollin" this is your chance as there are 48 dice chests to try to get it on.
