Discover how to unlock every vehicle in Borderlands 4! From the Digirunner to the Pulsar, find out which quests and level requirements you need to meet.
Alright, let's talk about getting around in Borderlands 4! Having your own ride makes exploring Kairos so much easier, and thankfully, the game hooks you up with several different vehicles throughout your journey. Some you'll get just by playing the main story, while others will require a bit more effort, like reaching certain character levels. We'll cover all of them right here so you know exactly what you're aiming for.
| Vehicle | How to unlock |
| Digirunner | Talk to Conway during the Down and Outbound quest |
| Driftblade | Complete the Rush the Gate quest |
| Carapacer | Complete the His Vile Sanctum quest |
| Punchy Whoopster | Complete the Her Flaming Vision quest |
| Sprintcraft | Complete The Timekeeper’s Order quest |
| Fang Glider | Complete the Another Day, Another Universed quest |
| Skimmer | Get Vex to level 50 |
| Rockslider | Get Amon to level 50 |
| Gyrosled | Get Harlowe to level 50 |
| Pulsar | Get Rafa to level 50 |
The very first vehicle you'll snag is the Digirunner. You'll get this orange and moss green beauty pretty early on, probably around the 90-minute mark into your playthrough. The game will task you with heading to the Fadefields to meet some new allies. After a quick introductory bit where you clear out some enemies, you'll head to a barn as part of the 'Down and Outbound' quest. Cosway will be waiting there to hand over your first set of wheels.
For the rest of the vehicles, it's a mix of completing specific quests and grinding out some character levels. The Driftblade, Carapacer, Punchy Whoopster, Sprintcraft, and Fang Glider are all tied to completing main story quests like 'Rush the Gate,' 'His Vile Sanctum,' 'Her Flaming Vision,' 'The Timekeeper’s Order,' and 'Another Day, Another Universed,' respectively. So, just keep pushing through the main campaign, and you'll pick these up naturally.
The last four vehicles – Skimmer, Rockslider, Gyrosled, and Pulsar – are a bit more of a commitment. You'll need to get specific characters to level 50 to unlock them: Vex for the Skimmer, Amon for the Rockslider, Harlowe for the Gyrosled, and Rafa for the Pulsar. This means you'll likely be doing a fair bit of side content or repeatable missions to grind out those levels, so plan accordingly!
