Surviving in Borderlands 4 requires spending money, whether you're equipping guns, weapons, and ammunition to improve your combat abilities, reskilling your build with skill resets, or stocking up on vending machines.
So, how do you earn enough Borderlands 4 money? There are many ways, but the fastest way to accumulate cash is undoubtedly by selling items directly to vendors. Legendary weapons in particular are often valuable and remain hidden treasures in the game.
Here, we'll show you the best spots to farm Legendary weapons and make some quick cash.
Travel To Abandoned Post Safehouse
First and foremost, this spot is great not only because you can farm Borderlands 4 weapons, but also because it's located near Abandoned Post, where you can sell all your unwanted items.
Abandoned Post is the first Safehouse you'll find during BL4 main quest. Capturing this location expands your fast travel network.
Now, once you reach Safehouse, you'll see a red treasure chest. Opening it has a chance to drop some loot. You can farm these chests, but the rewards aren't optimal at this point.
Getting Ready - Restock Food & Get A Vehicle
Also, before you go there, you can restock your food, as at this stage in the game, you don't have a vehicle yet. So, you can't drive there. You'll have to run or walk to get there.
Now, I strongly recommend that before you begin this farming, you first obtain your first vehicle by completing Borderlands 4's third main quest, Down and Outbound. This is an extremely easy early-game quest.
This vehicle will become available immediately after the initial quest, Recruitment Drive. Players can use the vehicle anywhere on the map by pressing the X key on the keyboard and the left directional button on the controller.
Note that these available vehicles have limited health, and their swappable rockets and turrets aren't the best at counterattacks. However, with their boost, jumps, and drift-gliding abilities, they're perfect for high-speed adventures around the map.
Of course, you can unlock other vehicles through story missions and challenges, but these are purely cosmetic and offer no performance difference beyond the visuals.
Select Difficulty (Hard Mode Recommended)
Now, you can choose between Hard and Normal mode to begin farming. If you'd like to change the difficulty, simply open the menu, then choose Session Settings. Here, you can select a different mode. I chose Hard mode because it gives you better loot and XP.
Reaching Stillshore Checkpoint
Now, the first thing you need to do is head southwest of the Abandoned Post Safehouse and find Stillshore point of interest. Once you drive in this direction, you'll see this checkpoint. This way, you can respawn here whenever you restart.
Defeat The Boss, Open The Chest And Repeat!
Now, once we reach this area, we'll quickly find the treasure chest, but before that, you'll need to fight the enemies here, as there's a mini-boss guarding it. It's worth noting that the bosses here aren't always the same, but they're all pretty easy to defeat, regardless of whether you're playing on Hard or Normal.
After defeating the boss, we can open the treasure chest and collect the loot. Once we've collected the loot, open the menu, click Quit Game, and then Quit to Main Menu. Once you return, click Continue, and as mentioned earlier, you'll respawn near this checkpoint.
After respawning, we can return to the treasure chest. Once we've killed the boss, we can open the treasure chest again and loot all the loot.
You can repeat this process over and over again until you get the legendary weapon you need.
Fishing
Also, why do we keep emphasizing this as a great place to farm monsters? It's because there's something else you can do here: you can fish in the nearby waters.
When you see Hook symbol here, cast it immediately. With each cast, it will return something, whether it's a weapon, equipment like grenades, or just some junk. So if your treasure chest farming is getting a bit boring, try your luck here; you might just find something lucrative!
Sell All Your Unwanted Items At Vending Machine
Now, once you've completed enough quests in this area, you'll have a lot of loot. Your inventory will probably be overflowing with unwanted items, including common items, underpowered mods, or any gear you no longer need. Luckily, you can easily manage these items by marking them as junk.
All we have to do is return to the map and quickly travel to the Safehouse, where you'll find a vending machine. All you have to do is go there and sell all your unwanted items at the vending machine, and that's how you'll earn a ton of Borderlands 4 cash.
Selling items individually is a hassle! Here's a quick fix: After marking an item as junk, simply press Q to sell it. However, I must warn you, always double-check before selling. Don't accidentally click the Sell All Junk button and lose your precious weapon, so be careful!
Once you've sold all the excess items in your inventory, you can return to the farming location and hopefully, you'll get enough legendary items! Good luck!
