There are also a couple of co-op-related trophies to earn as well. The rarest trophy to earn is 'Getting A Little On The Side' which unlocks when you complete every single side mission — of which there are 75.If you can accomplish all of that then you will earn the platinum trophy 'Ultimate Vault Hunter.'
