This is a list of all the side quests in the game. Some notes:
1) Most side quests are marked by a yellow exclamation point on your map/mini-map, allowing you to easily find where to start the quest.
2) As far as I know, all quests must be done on a single difficulty mode - either Normal or True Vault Hunter. Completing half of them on one difficulty, then the other half on the other will not get you the achievement. Also, these quests must be completed on 1 character (once again you cannot do half with one and the other half with another).
3)
!!!Warning!!! While all of these missions can be initiated and finished with coop partners, this achievement seems glitched at this point where only the host of the in-game party is unlocking this achievement consistently. To avoid this, it may be best to alternate who is the host and who initiates and turns in the quests. Also, make sure that everyone stays connected throughout as much game-time as possible.
Edit: LitaOsiris has said in the comments that gamers might have a better chance of unlocking the achievement if they turn in the final side mission within their own individual games.
4) To my knowledge, none of the quests are missable. If quests are failed, they can be retried by going back to the quest giver.
5) Finally, please note that you will have to advance the main story to unlock certain side quests (I will provide the suggested level the game suggests you be for a side mission, but I am not sure exactly when each mission will become available, it is typically when you enter new areas or meet you characters). Also, if the quest giver isn't giving you the quest, you just have to keep going until it's available. If a quest is blocked, it could mean the quest giver is indisposed due to story reasons, simply continue (or complete) the story and you can finish them.
6) There are
60 total side missions and doing half of them will grant you:
7) The missions below are listed by availability, level requirements (Level 3 to Level 28). There are 13 side missions that are associated with achievements (indicated in bold quotation) and will unlock simply by completing them, or in some cases, making a certain choice (refere to “
Guardian Guardian”) or playing with multiple people (referer to “
Who You Gonna Call?”). The remaining side missions will not grant achievements but will help you gain money, XP, and access to various locations.

Please comment if I have left any missions out by mistake or if you have any suggestions on how to make this better. I cannot remember the circumstances for unlocking each and every one of these, but with each story mission, new questions will appear on your maps. I don’t think any of these are tricky to find or unlock, but please feel free to comment or message me if you need any help. I hope this is an useful checklist as you progress!
