Discover all Borderlands 4 Hover Drives! Check out stats, manufacturers, and the specific challenges (like 50 kills with manufacturer weapons) needed to unlock each one.

Alright, so you're looking to soup up your ride in Borderlands 4, huh? Let's talk about Hover Drives. These bad boys are basically the engines for your vehicles, and there are a bunch of different ones to snag, each with its own flavor.

The cool thing is, you don't just buy these. You gotta earn 'em by proving your mettle with specific manufacturer weaponry. For example, to get the Recon Ranger, you'll need to rack up 50 kills using Daedalus weapons. It's a neat way to encourage you to try out different guns and manufacturers.

Here's the rundown of all the Hover Drives you can find:

Once you've unlocked a Hover Drive, there's still more to do! You can actually upgrade them. The next tier, Rank Two, will require a whopping 200 kills with that manufacturer's gear. So, keep those kill counts up if you want the best performance out of your ride!
