How to Unlock All Vehicles in Borderlands 4

The first six vehicles on the list are fairly simple to get. Just follow the main story quests, and you’ll unlock them naturally as you progress.
The seventh vehicle becomes available once you reach Level 50 with your first Vault Hunter. Again, this usually happens just by finishing the campaign, though side quests and contracts can help you level up faster.
For the final three vehicles, you’ll need to start a new game on the higher difficulty mode with another Vault Hunter. Leveling each one to 50 is a grind, but the reward is worth it. On top of that, you’ll also unlock a Trophy or Achievement for doing so.
Can You Customize Vehicles in Borderlands 4?
Yes, Just like your Vault Hunters, Borderlands 4 vehicles come with several customization options. These include:
- Paint Jobs – Change the look of your ride.
- Hover Drive – A special upgrade earned by completing challenges. It boosts speed and adds more firepower.
You can also upgrade Hover Drives further. To do this, you’ll need to take down enemies while using weapons from specific manufacturers. For example, if you’re upgrading a Torgue Hover Drive, you must use Torgue guns during combat.
