Crew Challenges are additional objectives in Borderlands 3. These recurring challenges can be found on almost every map. Each Crew Challenge has a specific theme and is tied to a member of the Crimson Raiders aboard the spaceship Sanctuary III.
Crew Challenges are optional objectives you can stumble into. You don’t have to accept a specific mission to complete them. The corresponding crew member will notify you through the Echo Network when you are close to their objective and place a marker on your map.
Crew Challenges are given to you by Tannis, Moxxi, Claptrap, Zero, Ellie, and Sir Hammerlock and they all have a unique reward for you for completing their objectives.
