Challenges

You can earn rewards by completing challenges in Borderlands 4. These activities range from using specific weapon types, manufacturers, or items, but also killing enemies in specific ways, like with critical hits or elemental damage.

Most challenges provide Cash and Eridium, while some offer special reward chests.

Challenges

There are going to be a lot of these Challenges; therefore, this list will probably stay incomplete for a while, but it will give you some insights into what you can do and the rewards.

You get a reminder of a challenge when you are halfway through completing a challenge, and when you are about to complete it.

Try out a bunch of stuff early on when playing Borderlands 4 and get those easy loot rewards.
