Borderlands 4 has made a significant quality-of-life change for veteran players, automatically unlocking Faction Towns and other Fast Travel points when creating a new Level 30 character.
This change addresses criticism of the new character experience, where players who completed the game's campaign could start a new character at Level 30 but had to re-unlock the entire world map.
Veteran players will no longer have to redo busy work involved in a first playthrough, making the game more enjoyable for those looking to create a new character.
The lack of progression carry-over was a sore spot for players, but this change should improve the experience for Borderlands 4 veterans.
The update is a welcome change for players who want to start a new character without having to repeat previous progress.
