Borderlands 3 100% achievements requires DLCs?

Borderlands 3 just launched on Steam this week. I can buy normal edition, deluxe or super deluxe.

My question is : are DLC required to 100% complete the game. I'm talking about Steam achievements.


It appears that you do indeed need DLCs to complete all the achievements for Borderlands 3.

Taking a look at the steam achievements here we can see a total of 52 achievements being listed. When comparing to the base game we can see that this is 7 achievements above the base game amount. Having a deeper look it appears 7 the extra achievements come from Add-on: Moxxi's Heist of the Handsome Jackpot.

The achievements added from the DLC:

  • A Proper Hand-Off
  • Firebug
  • Killer Look
  • Scovillain
  • Shoe Money Tonight
  • Don't Be a Stranger
  • Who Collects The Collector?

I would, however, note you can "complete" the game without the DLC, these are just extra side stuff that doesn't impact the main story.
