While your main goal in Borderlands 4 is to defeat the Timekeeper and his organization, there are moments when you’d rather take a break from battling giant enemies. That’s when side missions come into play.
The organization has caused a lot of problems for many people, and it will keep doing so until it’s gone. As a Vault Hunter, you have the strength and freedom to help those affected. Sometimes, this means urgent tasks like delivering supplies or supporting someone chasing their dream, like a missile. Other times, it’s simpler—someone just needs a little help finding talented band members.
Additional details about side missions will be added as they are discovered.
Every Side Mission in Borderlands 4
There are 40 side missions you can complete throughout the game. Most of these become available after finishing certain main story missions or completing the previous quest in a series.
All side missions give you experience points (EXP) and money, scaled to your level. Some repeatable missions also offer extra rewards like Eridium, weapons, special Vault Hunter styles, custom paintjobs for Echo-4, or vehicle skins.
Most of these repeatable missions can be farmed to earn their specific weapons or items found during the quest. They’ll appear in the “Replay Missions” section of your menu, under the upper list.
Note: You can restart a mission, complete part of it to farm specific loot (like a boss’s treasure), then abandon the mission. Your loot remains in your inventory even after abandoning.
When replaying a mission, you enter a unique game state where only that mission is active, preventing other mission progress during that time. Nearly all main missions—except Guns Blazing—and most side missions can be replayed. Those only rewarding EXP, cash, or Eridium typically cannot be.
