Borderlands 4 introduces flexible item-sharing systems, letting players trade gear with friends or move loot between their own characters. Here’s how to maximize these features:
Trading With Other Players
- Initiate a trade by standing near a co-op partner and facing them. A prompt will appear to start the exchange.
- Both players must confirm their selections in the trade window, which displays weapons, shields, grenades, and currency.
- Once locked in, the items transfer instantly—no takebacks!
Transferring Items Between Characters
- Use the Bank, available in major hubs like The Launchpad and Carcadia, marked by a piggy bank icon.
- Deposit gear with one character and withdraw it using another. Note: Items retain their level requirements, so low-level characters can’t equip high-tier loot prematurely.
Bank Storage Upgrades
- Purchase Storage Deck Upgrades (SDUs) to expand your Bank’s capacity.
- Each SDU adds slots, letting you hoard more gear for future use or sharing.
