How to unlock the Sabre Rattler achievement

    For those aren't aware, the Sabre turret is Axton's unique skill (Commando). You unlock the unique skill for each character at level 5. When you reach level 5 you'll get a skill point, which you have to put into the turret slot (you don't have any other options).

    After that, just use LB to deploy the turret whenever you've got groups of enemies and you'll eventually get 100 kills with it, as long as the turret gets the final hit to kill them. The turret can turn 360 degrees, so try to get it into the centre of the battlefield if possible so it can take out everybody.

    *Also, thanks to wolfzero01 for the heads up: Don't use the "...To Pay the Bills" challenge as a way of tracking it.*

    That challenge seems to be for getting kills *while* your skill is active, not just *with* the skill. If you kill an enemy with your own gun while the turret is deployed, that will add one kill towards the challenge so it will inflate the number. It's an odd distinction but it's enough to mess up the tracking.

    ApesAteMyFleshI ended up just repeatedly tossing it into an area where Rakk spawned and got the achievement to pop fairly quickly (within a day of starting to play). Rakk die after a shot or 2 so they're perfect for spamming on this one.

    SemanticV0idDid you read the solution? The "...To Pay The Bills" challenge doesn't accurately track the kills with the turret so you can't use it for the achievement. Just keep getting kills and you'll get the achievement soon.

    If you want to get this achievement as fast as possible with a new character, just do the initial sidequests and story quests until you hit level 5. Around the same time you hit level 5 (and get your Turret ability), Sir Hammerlock will ask you to go to Southern Shelf Bay to kill Midge-Mong.

    As soon as you enter this area you'll see some Rakk flying in the distance. Fire a shot to attract them, put out your turret, and stand back and let your turret handle them (since if you kill anything you'll "steal" the kill from the turret). Rakk are extremely weak, and often fly in a straight line towards your turret making them easy targets. This first pack consists of around 6-9 Rakk in total.

    Once they're all dead, just Save/Quit to main menu, and then hit continue. You'll enter the game just by the Rakk again, ready to repeat the process. Repeat until achievement pops, which took me about 20 minutes after I got the ability.

    You need to select Axton as a character and start a new game if it is not your main character, after that unlock the turret Saber as fast as possible, now wait for your skill to load and press cn_LB to deploy it and wait for it to kill enemies, very useful when there are several weak enemies.
