How to level up fast in Borderlands 4?

Borderlands 4 has a traditional XP-based level-up system, and if you're familiar with how that works, then you already understand what you might need to do to quickly boost your character's level.

Now, there are two or three ways you can quickly push through levels in this game. Below, we will provide you a detailed brief on all of them. You can follow along, and if you stick to our instructions, you will be able to level up quite quickly in-game.

Completing the main story

Pushing through the main story and completing the campaign is honestly the easiest and best way to push your character to at least level 35-40 in the game. In the campaign, you come across high-density mobs, get XP rewards for quest completion, and face off against high-value targets to farm the most amount of experience points in the game.

Now, in our opinion, starting and pursuing the entire campaign storyline is a great way to quickly reach the highest levels in Borderlands 4.

Completing side-quests

Now, alongside the main story, it is quite intrinsic for you to also engage and complete the different side missions that are available in this game. While it might seem redundant in the early phases of the title, you will eventually have to do them in order to combat the beefy enemies that you will encounter towards the end of the main campaign storyline.

As you push through the side quests, alongside the campaign, you will find yourself leveling up quite fast.

Fighting mobs and joining co-op

Now, fighting mobs is a core part of the entire Borderlands saga. However, if your priority is to level up quickly, you need to be smart about the fights you take. Of course, the campaign and the side quests you will undertake will provide you with ample combat XP. However, if you want to take it to the next level, we urge you to hop into a co-op segment with your friend and head into areas with high-density enemy spawns.

This method is a sure-shot way to not only guarantee a lot of fun through combat, but also to secure a steady line to farm a lot of XP and level up quickly in the game.
