Borderlands 2 has a massive amount of content for players to mission through. However, completing all it has to offer will reward players with a multitude of trophies and/or achievements. This can range from simply playing through the game to accomplishing impressive feats.

It is worth noting that players will need to level up multiple Vault Hunters in order to get every trophy/achievement on this list. Players that completed the game but never got all the trophies/achievements can still find value in getting back into the game even now.
