How to gather lost loot in Borderlands 3
Thanks to a new addition in Borderlands 3, the Lost Loot Machine, you will no longer face the annoying problem of shuffling around your backpack to make space for more items. Previously, if you found a cool Rare gun you wanted to sell, but couldn't pick it up because of a full backpack, you'd have to do some inventory management. Not anymore!
The Lost Loot box won't work if your Group Mode is set to Coopetition. Change your Group Mode to Cooperation for Lost Loot to work.
Thanks to the brand-new Lost Loot Machine, Borderlands 3 will pick up any Rare or higher gear you leave behind. The gear will be stored in the machine, waiting for you to come and pick it up.
You won’t be able to access the machine until a good bit into the game. You will need to leave Pandora and again access to Sanctuary, the Crimson Raider’s mobile base of operations.
Once you have gained access to the ship, head down to the Crew Quarters to find the Lost Loot Machine waiting in the center of the area. We’ve even included a handy map of the area above to help you find it much more easily.
In short, any Rare or higher weapons will be placed in the Lost Loot Machine in Sanctuary once you leave an area. They will only be placed in the box if your Group Mode is set to Cooperation, so make sure this mode is activate before you go leaving valuable weapons behind. It's also worth noting that white and green gear will not go to the Lost Loot box, only Blue, Purple, and Orange (and probably beyond when the time comes).
Boom, it’s that simple. Now that you know how to gather your lost loot, make sure you also check out our other handy guides in our Borderlands 3 walkthrough and FAQ.
