How to Get XP Fast in Borderlands 4

by

Players by now ought to be well-versed with the progression system in Borderlands 4, as it adheres to the conventional XP-centric mechanism seen in its predecessors. This implies that players can expedite their leveling process either by obliterating foes or completing tasks.

It’s important to clarify that instantly advancing levels in Borderlands 4 is not possible, and circumventing the leveling process through shortcuts or exploits (commonly known as “cheesing”) is also not an option. However, there is a strategy you can employ to streamline character leveling, particularly for characters already at level 30.

How to Level Quickly in Borderlands 4

If you’re beginning anew, it’s advisable to primarily focus on completing the main storyline for Borderlands 4. You stand a good chance of reaching level 40 by solely concentrating on these missions. Additionally, you might gain a few extra levels if you spare some time for additional quests. However, you’ll likely find it necessary to engage in side quests at certain points, as enemies in later parts of the game might be significantly stronger than you if you only tackle main storyline quests.

If you’re embarking on a fresh level 30 character following completion of the campaign at least once, you won’t find any campaign stories to engage with. Side quests can be time-consuming and farming mobs doesn’t provide enough XP to make the effort worthwhile. At this juncture, your most effective strategy would be to focus on acquiring bounty missions from bounty boards.

Borderlands 4: Endgame Leveling with Contracts

This approach tends to perform optimally when dealing with advanced chess pieces, but it’s also expected to be effective even for novice players.

In simpler terms, contracts in Borderlands 4 are basically extra tasks you can undertake which offer rewards such as money, experience points, loot, and Eridium. Many of these tasks, particularly those involving the elimination of specific bounty targets, are relatively straightforward to accomplish.

With the right ammunition at hand, you can swiftly complete any assignment requiring elimination of a target. Typically, it takes around one to two minutes to reach the target’s location by car. Once the shooting commences, you should be able to eliminate your target just as speedily, if not even more rapidly.

One effective strategy for advancing quickly with Bounty Contracts is to focus on quests involving Vile opponents. These are non-player characters who have crystals growing on their bodies. You’ll find that contracts against these tough adversaries provide substantially better compensation, and there’s even a possibility of receiving legendary equipment as part of the rewards.

It’s worth noting that for many gamers, it might be unbeknownst that the bounty board contracts are refreshed whenever you restart your game. To accumulate Vile bounties effectively, consider this simple method:

1. Restart the game (to refresh the bounty board).
2. Accept as many Vile bounties as possible from the board.
3. Hunt and defeat the targeted enemies to complete the bounties.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 until you’ve achieved your desired amount of Vile bounties.

  1. Check a bounty board for Vile bounties.
  2. Grab any available Vile bounty.
  3. If there are no Vile bounties, take every other contract on the board, then abandon them from your ECHO menu.
  4. Quit to the main menu, then reload your game.
  5. Check the bounty board again.

At Safehouses, it’s optimal to perform this trick because leaving while inside one will transport you back to the respawn spot within the Safehouse itself. In contrast, in towns, you often have to walk a short distance to get back to the notice board. Each notice board can hold up to three contracts at a time, and if you choose to keep one, only two new contracts will become available when you restart the game.

If you aren’t having any luck with Vile bounties, then normal bounties will suffice.
