If Borderlands games are Looter-Shooters, what good are they without the loot? So you saw that sweet gun drop, but then couldn’t pick it up, which means we want to share with you what your next steps should be.
Step 1: Head back to base:
- Make sure you’ve checked the Lost Loot machine at your nearest Faction Town or Safehouse.
- This machine automatically stores unpicked loot that you can retrieve.
- If you picked up and discarded an item, it will not show up in the machine.
- The machine starts with 6 storage slots, but you can expand that with SDU tokens
- If the 6 (or more) slots are already filled, the loot will prioritize the rarest goods – commons will get left behind and legendary gear will take that spot.
- The machine will have filters, so if you are looking for something specific, this should help you sort your loot.
- When you have a really large pool of unclaimed loot, say when you’re farming those bosses like crazy, you may need to restart the game to get the Lost Loot machine to prioritize your missing gear.
Step 2: Check the field where it fell:
- Anything over your Lost Loot storage slots may stay right where they dropped, so you might need to run out there again.
- Keep in mind that if you were in a party when it dropped this could work as long as you’re still in the party.
- Once you leave or the party is disbanded, that loot is gone from the ground.
Step 3: SHiFT Loot:
- Maybe it wasn’t a drop but the sweet swag from a SHiFT code?
- First check that you redeemed it for the correct platform on your SHiFT account.
- Then check the Reward Center in game, even if you didn’t get a pop-up notice that it may be waiting for you there.
- In the unlikely event that you redeemed the code and your content isn’t available when you go to use it or in the Rewards Center, this is the time you would contact our Support Team. This is only for SHiFT rewards, not for missing world-drops.
