Borderlands 4 has introduced a quality-of-life change that automatically unlocks Faction Towns and other Fast Travel points for new Level 30 characters.
This change benefits veteran players who want to create a new character after completing the game for the first time, as they no longer have to redo busy work from their first playthrough.
Previously, players who started a new character at Level 30 had to re-unlock the entire world map, including major Faction Towns, which was a point of criticism for the game.
Players restarting at Level 30 aren't exactly there to redo much of the busy work involved in a first playthrough, leading to calls for this to be changed.
The update addresses this issue, providing a better experience for veteran players.
