Best ways to get money fast in Borderlands 4

1) Mark trash loot as junk to be sold

Perhaps the most no-brainer advice for a Borderlands game is hoarding junk and selling it, and this can be done by marking them as junk when picking trash weapons. Pretty much every enemy drops a weapon, and while most of them will be white and green rarity items, players will quickly amass enough to jam-pack their Backpack. Then it's only a case of teleporting to the nearest hub town to sell the junk and repeat the process.

2) Run Moxxi's Big Encore

Developer Gearbox has made farming bosses easier than ever before, all thanks to the Moxxi's Big Encore machine. This device, often placed next to boss arenas, allows players to re-run defeated bosses to farm them for their loot drops. There are tons of bosses in Borderlands 4, many of which have dedicated Legendary loot drops on top of rewarding high stacks of cash. These make for great consecutive farming runs.

3) Tip Moxxi's Jar to get Legendaries

Moxxi's tipping jar has returned from past games in Borderlands 4. Located in the Bottoms Up! bar in Carcadia, players can spend their hard-earned cash here to be rewarded handsomely. While tipping may seem antithetical to farming money, players can be rewarded with a handful of random Legendary weapons. Paired with the low tipping cost, these can be sold at a high price to vendors for a profit.

4) Complete bounties

As players explore the world of Kairos and unlock new safehouses, they will also gain access to bounty boards. These boast a series of side content like Patrols and contracts, usually in the area's vicinity, that can be taken up and will reward players with XP and loot, including cash. These are over quickly, so players do not have to worry about them taking up too much time, like story side quests.

That said, getting money is a lot easier this time than in past games, with more avenues of drops and greater frequency due to Borderlands 4's open-world nature. So, even up to the finale of the story, players should not be hurting for money, even if they do not explicitly farm for it.
