Most of these are self-explanatory. For the “Goliath, Meet David” Achievement/Trophy, you must allow a Raging Goliath to level all the way up to GOD-liath before killing him. If you haven’t managed this before “The Once and Future Slab,” then you can almost certainly get it done during the initiation fight in this story mission.
“So Much Blood!” requires 90 seconds of continuous Gunzerking, which is accomplished by building down Salvador’s Rampage skill tree. Likewise, “Unseen Predator” is unlocked by staying in Deception as Zero for 10 consecutive seconds, which is accomplished by building down his Bloodshed tree. Axton and Maya don’t have to do anything fancy with Action Skills for their Achievements; just get 100 kills each with the Sabre Turret and Phaselock.
“Cute Loot” is acquired by killing a Chubby enemy. Chubbies are extremely rare versions of foes… rarer even than Badass enemies. Chubby enemies are obviously fatter than other monsters related to them, so they move more slowly. They also have a Badass enemy’s health pool and damage output, and drop goodies like a Loot Midget upon death.
Maya’s Phaselock can make “High-Flying Hurler” much easier than it’s perhaps supposed to be; simply Phaselock something that’s flying, like a Rakk, then reload-toss a Tediore weapon into the bound foe.
“Build Buster” is obtained by preventing a Constructor from building any Loaders before you destroy it. Constructors, which are digistructing Hyperion loaders, can be interrupted by shooting them in their vulnerable red sensor-eyes on their front side.
