DexertoWeekly Wildcard missions in Borderlands 4 are one of the most important parts of the endgame loop, so it’s important to stay up to date with what’s on this week.
Like Maurice’s Black Market Vending Machine, Wildcard missions are tied to the game’s Ultimate Vault Hunter progression and appear once you have cleared key campaign milestones. The system can be confusing at first. Some players are not sure where to find the mission prompt, how often it refreshes, or if the rewards are worth the grind.
Still, the payoff is big. Weekly Wildcards don’t just drop XP, Eridium, and cash, they are also one of the most consistent sources of guaranteed legendary weapons in the game. Here is everything you need to know, including this week’s mission and rewards.
What is this week’s Weekly Wildcard mission?
The current Wildcard mission this week in Borderlands 4 is Shadow of the Mountain. It takes place in the Terminus Range region and begins with meeting Defiant Kelder before retrieving a relic from his old office. Along the way you’ll face the Sky Spanner boss.
- Start: Friday, September 18 at 12:00 a.m. EDT
- End: Thursday, September 25 at 11:59 p.m. EDT
This mission includes the modifiers Healthy, Chain Master, and Leaking. The completion reward is the Hellwalker legendary shotgun, a weapon that fires a powerful shot and plays music when picked up.
When does the Weekly Wildcard reset in Borderlands 4?
Wildcard missions reset every Friday at 12 a.m. EDT. That means all Vault Hunters, regardless of region, get access to the same mission rotation at the same time.
If you miss a week, there is no way to replay the previous challenge until it returns in the future.
