Borderlands 4: All Side Missions list

Borderlands 4 has a ton of Side Missions available, ranging from serious to wacky, to uncomfortably amorous. That said, they’re all worth doing, for the exp, potential gun rewards, and they can also lead you to other collectibles/objectives along the way. You might find Silos, Crawlers, or even Vault Key Fragments as you explore the areas these quests take part in.

You may not see all of these Side Missions in Borderlands 4, upon first arriving in an area. They may have other requirements, such as completing other objectives first. All you have to do to find Side Missions though, is look for the Blue Exclamation Marks; those are the sign that a Side Mission is available to you.

All available Side Missions in Borderlands 4

Each region of Borderlands 4 has its own Side Missions to complete, and they all have more or less different objectives. Some of them are sad and violent, like Meat is Murder, whereas other ones are incredibly silly and satirical, like Abduction Junction. No matter what, they’re worth doing, though.

Some Side Missions, like this one, can give you money, gear, xp, and cool cosmetics for you and your ECHO Device (Image via 2K Games)

You won’t always get gear as your reward, though. Sometimes it’s just currency (Cash/Eridium), and XP for your character. The XP is usually worthwhile enough, on top of the EXP you get for killing anything that comes between you and your Side Mission goals in Borderlands 4.
