  Re: Fishing, you are doing it incorrectly in this video. You have to look at the fishing spot until the anchor icon wiggles, and <b>then</b> grapple for better loot chances.

  As a long time Borderlands fan, I also love that there is a button to pick up unwanted loot as junk. Saves so much time sorting through the inventory

  A big one you missed is you can send items directly to the bank from your inventory. Mark the item bank then a hold button will prompt in you inventory to send to bank. For PC it&apos;s V

  The side quest line with Ole Shammy tells you about the jump smash.

  Heh, Borderlands 4 reversed the old cliche of fishing with grenades by having you fish FOR grenades. Clever.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5aUTIA0DvI&amp;t=109">1:49</a> The fishing has an actual mechanic you missed. Point at a spot and wait for the icon to wiggle and the bracket around the icon to change color. “Hook” it then, and you’ll get higher likelihood of a loot fountain. &nbsp;Anecdotally, it also seems like the last bubble at each location just has a higher chance or fountaining if you didn’t get one from the first 3-4.

  number 10: the return of the fishslap from borderlands 3, grenade does melee dmg and is meant for melee builds<br>number 9: there is a setting under accessibility/gameplay that is called &quot;Mantle with Forward&quot; that gets rid of the extra A press<br>number 8: turning lighting quality down helps as well because it has ray tracing like hidden in the setting apparently, also save quitting will clear junk and help frames<br>number 7-6: no notes<br>number 5: everytime you respec you can just remove all points because once you leave that menu whether or not you changed anything it charges you &nbsp;money and in bl4 we can finally remove skill points we&apos;ve added before we finalize. so say I respec and add all my points but i messed up one point and am still in the menu, I can right click instead of left clicking to remove those points and move em around now, pretty sure it locks em in only when you confirm and leave your skill tree.<br>number 3: almost every large boss repeatedly spawns trash mobs for exactly this reason and snipers are insanely accurate from the hip in this game<br>number 2: bobbleheads dont give sdu points just exp from my experience and if you get close enough to a vault symbol it will stay marked on your map to collect whenever<br><br>happy gamin yall

  If you wait while fishing at the spots, the little hook icon will change and you can get loot about every time.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5aUTIA0DvI&amp;t=852">14:12</a> Vault Symbols ARE marked on the minimap in blue, at least they have been for me after I&apos;ve gone near enough to them without having activated them.

  Caveat for #1 (Golden Keys) - I would argue that for your first character, it&apos;s worth it to periodically use keys if you&apos;ve recently levelled and your current gear is lacklustre. &nbsp;Your first character is starting from scratch, gear-wise, and golden keys will guarantee at least purple gear. &nbsp;You can bank the best gear for future characters, but your first character has to make do with what they can get. &nbsp;Your follow up character(s) shouldn&apos;t need to use golden keys when levelling, as they&apos;ll have access to the best of your first character&apos;s old gear.<br><br>The game is new, so golden keys are going to be released fairly regularly. &nbsp;When you reach the current level cap (because there is almost certainly going to be a level cap increase in future), using some keys to get good level 50 gear makes sense, but you&apos;ll probably want to save some for when the level cap inevitably goes up.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5aUTIA0DvI&amp;t=240">4:00</a> &nbsp;There&apos;s actually a setting under the Accessibility tab that makes it so all you have to do to mantle <b>is</b> hold forward. &nbsp;I like it better like that.
