Borderlands GOTY Enhanced Achievements and Importing Your Character

Introduction

Essentially the import feature copies your old Borderlands save over to the Enhanced version's save location on your computer. Loading your imported save is basically the same as loading your save on the old version of the game. You keep everything you had before.

Before I begin, assuming you have a 100% character, you will need to replay 99% of the base game with a new character to unlock everything.

Everything below assumes you are importing a 100% complete save on at least one playthrough. That means all base game + DLC missions done, and you unlocked all (except character-specific ones) the achievements of the original using this save.

I won't cover how to unlock each achievement. You've done it before and you should know where to look if you are stuck.

30/80 achievements will unlock immediately on loading your imported save. If you didn't get all 30, make sure you loaded the right playthrough. If you did the DLCs on P1 and loaded P2, you won't get the DLC achievements (and visa versa).

These you can unlock again using your imported character with very little effort.

Optional Easy Unlocks

Skip this section if you are going for 100%. You'll get these automatically when you replay the game.

Co-op Achievements

Duelinator - Won a duel without taking damage Duel-icious - Won a duel against another player Can't We Get BEYOND Thunderdome? - Emerged victorious from an arena match Group LF Healer - Rescued a groupmate from death in a co-op game And They'll Tell Two Friends - Play with at least two other players. United We Stand - Defeated the Rakk Hive, the Vault Boss, Sledge, Krom, or Flynt in a co-op game There's No "I" In "Team" - Completed 15 missions in co-opSelf-explanatory. If you have an unfinished quest on your imported character (on another playthrough), you can complete that for There's No "I" In "Team" and you won't need to do 15 again.

DLC Cleanup

The Secret Armory of General KnoxxSpeed Kills - Destroyed a Lancer while in a Racer Sneaky Little Buggers - Killed each of the loot midgets Sucker born every minute - Paid for a worthless tour of the world's largest bullet Vincible - Killed Crawmerax the InvincibleClaptrap's New Robot RevolutionKnoxx-Trap - Killed General Knoxx-trap Ned-Trap - Killed Dr. Ned-trap Steele-Trap - Killed Commandant Steele-trap Muerte la robo-lución - Killed the Interplanetary Ninja Assassin ClaptrapYou can very quickly run through the General Knoxx DLC and Claptrap DLC with your imported character for these. Bosses respawn, so you don't need to do all the DLC quests again.

What's Left?

Paid in Fyrestone - Completed 5 missions in the Arid Badlands Made in Fyrestone - Completed all missions in the Arid Badlands Paid in New Haven - Completed 5 missions in the Rust Commons Made in New Haven - Completed all missions in the Rust Commons Destroyed the Destroyer - Killed the Vault Boss The Collector - Completed a crazy request for TannisThis is where you'll spend most of your time. Time to make a new character!

You will need to replay every optional mission for the first 4 achievements in that list, except the last two Claptrap Rescues. You might be able to skip the 6 optional missions in Dahl Headlands, but I wasn't able to confirm that.

The Vault Boss doesn't respawn, so that requires a full play through of the story with a new character.

The last thing is to redo The Collector quest, which is the first four optional missions in the Claptrap DLC. If you have this quest partially completed on another playthrough on your imported save, you can do it there as well.
