Lost Loot Machine Borderlands 3 Guide

So, you might not be all that familiar with what the Lost Loot Machine in Borderlands 3 is. Well, think about all the times that you’ve been gallivanting around in the wild and suddenly figured out that your inventory’s full. Too full, in fact, to pick up some loot that you think might be useful later. Well, now you can happily leave it to the wolves and know that you’ll have the chance to access it later on when you’ve got some room to breathe and some space to dump out some other junk that’s kicking around in your bags. 

What are we talking about? Well, the Lost Loot machine. It’s something which sits happily in Sanctuary after you’ve swapped boots on Pandora for a bit of a more nomadic life. How it works is pretty simple – you’ll interact with it for the first time while you’re in the Crew’s Quarters, and it looks a bit like a giant arcade machine. Essentially, anything that you find out in the wild after you’ve encountered this machine that’s of a Rare rarity or above will be automatically transported into this Lost Loot Machine for you to peer more closely at when you’re back on Sanctuary after a mission.

Yes, this means that you can essentially leave cool gear kicking around if you’re just repeatedly farming the same boss for a Legendary (like Graveward, for example, and we have a guide for that right here for you) and you just find that your pockets fill up way too quick but you don’t want to break up the flow of the farm to do some inventory trimming. It’s easy enough to just keep gunning through enemies and to be safe in the knowledge that something will be hoovering up all the cool stuff that you just don’t have time to sort through while you’re busy killing things. Just don’t forget to check out the Lost Loot Machine when you’re done and to actually claim it all; it can fill up fast over time!

Now that you know about the insurance policy that is the Lost Loot Machine in Borderlands 3, organizing your inventory should be a bit easier. if you’re not a hundred percent convinced that you should pick up Borderlands 3, then check out this trailer for Guns, Love and Tentacles below?
