Borderlands 4 How to Trade With Friends
Borderlands 4 lets you share loot with friends and move gear between your own characters. Since weapons and shields drop constantly, it helps to know how to trade instead of leaving items behind. This guide covers how to trade with other players and how to transfer weapons across your Vault Hunters.
How to Trade With Other Players
To trade directly, stand near your co-op partner and look at them. A prompt will appear to start a trade. Confirm the request and the trade window opens, letting you offer weapons, shields, ordnance, and money.
Both players must lock in their side of the trade before it completes. This keeps the swap secure and avoids mistakes. Once confirmed, the gear transfers instantly.
How to Transfer Weapons Between Your Characters
Borderlands 4 also lets you move gear across your own saves using the Bank. Every major Faction Town has a Bank marked by a piggy bank icon, including The Launchpad, Carcadia, Belton’s Bore, and The Lockaway.
Deposit any items you want to move into the Bank. When you load a different character, visit the Bank again and withdraw the stored gear. Keep in mind that items have level requirements, so a lower-level character cannot use high-level loot until they meet the requirement.
Expanding Bank Storage
The Bank starts with limited space. To increase it, buy Storage Deck Upgrades (SDUs) as you progress. Each upgrade adds more slots so you can store extra weapons, shields, and mods. This is useful if you plan to share a lot of loot between characters.
Final Blurb
To trade in Borderlands 4, use the trade prompt in co-op or store gear in the Bank to transfer items between your own characters. Always check level requirements before moving loot, and invest in SDUs to keep your storage ready for future drops.
