How to Redeem Borderlands 4 Codes?

Top 10 Gameplay Tips for Borderlands 4

1. Exploit Elemental Weaknesses: Always match your weapon’s element to the enemy’s health bar color for maximum damage output. Use Incendiary against red flesh, Shock for blue shields, and Corrosive on yellow armor.
2. Master the New Movement System: Utilize the new movement options like dashing, double-jumping, and gliding to dodge attacks and reposition quickly. Strategic movement will significantly increase your survivability, especially against tough boss attacks.
3. Use Your Ordnance Constantly: Don’t hoard your powerful Ordnance (grenades/heavy weapons) since they have a cooldown, not an ammo cost. Deploy them often to deal massive burst damage or cover elemental gaps in your current loadout.
4. Prioritize Skill Tree Synergy: Carefully read your chosen Vault Hunter’s skill trees to find skills that enhance each other, often referred to as “builds.” A cohesive set of skills and gear mods is more powerful than simply maxing one tree.
5. Don’t Get Attached to Early Gear: Weapons and gear are replaced every few levels as their stats become obsolete due to level scaling. Keep the best-performing items but be ready to sell and upgrade constantly until you hit max level.
6. Mark Junk for Quick Selling: Immediately mark unwanted loot as “Junk” in your inventory as you pick it up to manage space efficiently. This allows for one-button selling at any vending machine, netting you quick cash for upgrades.
7. Hold Side Missions for Endgame: Save unique side mission rewards for when you reach the level cap, ensuring the powerful, one-time gear drops at max level. Focus on story missions and farming repeatable bosses for current-level gear during the main campaign.
8. Ensure a Good Weapon Mix: Carry a diverse set of weapon types (e.g., shotgun, sniper, pistol, assault rifle) to handle enemies at all ranges. Also, ensure your equipped guns cover multiple elemental damage types to counter various defenses.
9. Keep a Downed Enemy Alive: When fighting large groups, try to leave one low-health enemy as an emergency target. If you enter ‘Fight for Your Life,’ quickly killing this enemy guarantees a “Second Wind” revival.
10. Use Your Repkit Proactively: Your Repkit provides an instant burst of healing and often a short defensive buff on a cooldown. Don’t wait until you are near death; use it to maintain high health during intense firefights.
