Weekly 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 “A Lot to Process”, which tasks you with taking down the Oppressor. You can find out when it starts and ends below:

  • Start: Friday, September 12 at 12:00 a.m. EDT
  • End: Thursday, September 18 at 11:59 p.m. EDT

It’s considered a Hard Mission, and along with XP, Eridium, and cash, it also drops one of the game’s flashiest weapons: the Rainbow Vomit.

This legendary Jacobs shotgun has a chance to roll with three elemental types at once, making it a valuable tool for mob clearing and boss fights. If you would rather farm directly, the weapon can also drop from the boss Leader Willem, after completing the related side quest chain.

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.

How to unlock and start Weekly Wildcard missions

Wildcard missions become available once you finish the main campaign and progress into Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode.

They are tied into the rank system, appearing as repeatable challenges between boss clears.

To unlock Wildcard Missions in Borderlands 4, you first need to finish the main campaign to access Ultimate Vault Hunter (UVH).

After that, clear a few intro quests like Zane’s Firmware or Maurice’s Bounty, then complete the UVH challenges tied to your current rank. Once those are done, a Wildcard Mission will spawn on your map and is guaranteed.

Head to Lilith at Moxxi’s Bottoms Up to start it. Each UVH rank has its own Wildcard, so completing it is required to move up. For example, you must beat Rush the Gate at Rank 1 to unlock Rank 2.
