There is a lot to do in Borderlands 3. If you are in a hurry to reach that max level so that you can start working on your Guardian rank, it can be difficult to determine where you should spend your time. In this guide, we'll give you some tips to optimize your experience and reach level 50 as quickly as possible.
How to level up fast in Borderlands 3
The first thing to do is to focus on the story. Campaign missions get you a lot of experience, but side missions don't tend to be very rewarding. As such, you had better instantly move on to the next campaign mission as soon as you hit the appropriate level. Don't spend too much time getting lost in side missions and use them to level you up to play the next story mission. You can come back and round them off later when you're stronger and can get through them.
If you are lucky you will get your hands on an artifact that will give you additional experience. These are fantastic if you are trying to level up quickly, as they allow you to gain more experience than anything you do. As long as you are working at level 50, you should still have an artifact equipped with this booster.
You can also play with a higher level friend which will change the experience system a bit as you will gain a lot more experience fighting higher level enemies than yourself. Even if you can't play with a high level friend, you should still play with others if you can. If you play on Competitive you can make sure that everyone collects the best items for their build, get through story missions faster, and also have more enemies to kill so you can acquire more experience.
Speaking of enemies, you absolutely want to kill whatever you see and get through the missions as quickly as possible. This strategy involves increased damage and speed of movement, as the less time it takes to move between mission areas the better.
Getting through the story and entering the Endgame faster also helps you level up quickly. Completing the game unlocks end-game activities such as Mayhem Mode, which allows you to increase the difficulty, which means more experience. This will also open the Provering Grounds and Circle of Slaughter activities, and you can earn them experience as well.
The last tip I can give you is to try and find collectibles. These will grant you a small amount of experience each time you find one, which will help you reach that max level even faster.
