Borderlands 4 has introduced a quality-of-life change that automatically unlocks Faction Towns and other Fast Travel points when creating a new Level 30 character.
This change benefits veteran players who want to create a new character after completing the game for the first time, addressing criticism of the new character experience.
Previously, players had to re-unlock the entire world map, including major Faction Towns, when starting a new character at Level 30.
Players restarting at Level 30 aren't exactly there to redo much of the busy work involved in a first playthrough
This update should improve the experience for veteran players, allowing them to start fresh without redundant busy work.
