Introduction and Prerequisites

Hello, Travellers! CATCH-A-GUUUUUUIIIIDEEE!

Before you start, make sure you are in Concordia and have 4 weapons at the ready, each with a different elemental effect (fire, cryo, corrosive, shock). I reckon the weapon type and order of use does not matter. I earned this achievement while using common (white) weapons so the rarity seems to have no impact as well.

Explaining the Method

First, you need to find a Dahl dumpster with a "Danger!" sign in it. From the Fast Travel station, turn left and go towards a Stingray poster.

Once you're there, shoot the sign with the first elemental weapon. Then, draw another elemental weapon and repeat the procedure three more times.

That should net you the achievement. In case it doesn't (I earned it on the first try), feel free to experiment with the order of elements and/or weapon types.

Final Notes

In conclusion, this is the easiest method of obtaining the "Elementalist" achievement as far as I'm concerned. You can do this on your own in less than 5 minutes. I'm uncertain whether it is working as intended™ or not but I used this method on 9th August, 2016 and it worked. Thanks for reading, I hope you find this guide useful. Cheers!

IDK what others are on about that the only way is to get other players each with their own element or use a moxie bar relic to get it done. When it can be achieved this simple. Thanks alot for the guild.

Was planning on getting this achievement when I go through 100%ing this game's achievements as Fragtrap since he has a skill that proc's all elements but I'll make sure to use this method when doing that.

Got it with a Boomacorn on an enemy. Would invest points in skills to increase magazine size so you have 2 shots before needing to reload, fire rate and reload speed to quickly stack the status effects. Bewarery of firing at point blank as it can fire explosive rounds (up to 5) and being caught up in it's small blast radius.

Non-explosive Nova shield may help along with a cryo barrel near by as well.

The darksiders you face indoors in Triton Flats may be a good place to get this since the fast travel is in their base.

If you habve MINAC's Atonement you can get it immediately.
The railgun shoots different elemental projectiles so all you need to do is freeze an enemy and empty the clip (railgun shoots corrosive, fire and shock randomly and quite often actually)

I can confirm that neither rockets nor lasers worked for me. I ended up using 4 SMG's. Thanks for the guide!
