How to Drop Items and Weapons in Borderlands 4

Borderlands 4 gives players a lot of loot – weapons and gear – dropped by enemies. But your character’s inventory fills up quickly, so you’ll have to get rid of some items to make room for better ones. This means either dropping gear on the ground or finding other ways to discard unwanted equipment.

How to Drop Items in Borderlands 4

In *Borderlands 4*, you’ll find loot very quickly while battling enemies on Kairos. Getting better gear and weapons is awesome, but you’ll eventually need to manage your inventory and get rid of some items to make space for new discoveries.

The game doesn’t directly explain how to drop items, and the instructions aren’t very clear on screen. Here’s a quick guide to the controls you’ll need to use to drop items from your inventory.

Platform Controls
PC (Keyboard) Highlight the item, then press and hold the “R” key.
Xbox (Controller) Select the item, then press and hold the “Y” button.
PlayStation (Controller) Select the item, then press and hold the “Triangle” button.

You can also quickly exchange an item you’re holding for one on the ground using the swap function. If you have room in your inventory, the item you swapped out will be stored there. If your inventory is full, your current equipped item will be dropped instead.

Best Ways to Clear Up Inventory Space

Okay, so in *Borderlands 4*, dropping stuff is something you *have* to do when your bags are full and you spot a really good piece of gear. But honestly, it should be a last resort! The game gives us a bunch of better ways to deal with all the loot we find – ways to actually make money from it or save it for when we need it. Let’s dive into what those options are!

Selling Weapons and Items

Don’t just leave weapons and items behind after a fight! The best way to make money in Borderlands 4 is to sell them at the vending machines in the safe houses. You’ll get a lot of loot from enemies and bosses, so selling it all adds up quickly.

Okay, so if I’m trying to get rid of all the stuff I don’t need, the fastest way is to open up my inventory and mark everything as ‘Junk.’ Then, I just go to any vendor and hit the button to sell it all at once. It’s a super easy way to free up space and make some extra cash for better gear!

Storing Weapons and Items in Banks

If you’ve played previous *Borderlands* games, you’re probably familiar with Banks – they’re great for keeping all your extra gear. Sometimes you find weapons or items you might need later, but don’t want to get rid of or sell right away.

You can easily store items at any bank in *Borderlands 4*. This keeps your items safe and frees up space in your inventory for all the new gear you find while fighting enemies.
