Borderlands 4 fans have noticed a huge quality-of-life change to the Lost Loot Machine that makes it much easier to use, despite there being no sign of it in the most recent patch notes. Now, Borderlands 4 players can sell items directly from the Lost Loot Machine, which should save tons of time in the long run.
Previously, the Lost Loot Machine in Borderlands 4 required players to retrieve each item and mark them as junk directly in their inventory. In practice, this could become quite time-consuming, especially for players with already packed inventories. And because cash is so easy to find in Borderlands 4's late game, for many players, it simply stopped being worth visiting the Lost Loot Machine altogether.

Borderlands 4 Players Can Now Sell Loot Directly From the Lost Loot Machine
However, players have noticed that following the most recent Borderlands 4 update, the Lost Loot Machine has become much more usable. Post-patch, players can now sell items directly from the Lost Loot Machine, both individually and in bulk. This removes several layers of frustration, and speeds up the process of getting rid of these items altogether. Users in the Reddit thread started by nknasi welcomed the change, with one player saying that previously, "doing anything but trashing was so cumbersome."
Curiously, there appears to be no mention of this Borderlands 4 quality-of-life change in the recent patch notes, so Gearbox appears to have quietly slipped this into the update. The Lost Loot Machine did receive a few other notable changes in the October 23 patch, including that it will now "better prioritize higher-quality loot in overflow situations." So not only can players sell their loot more easily, but it should also be of better quality.
It's great to see Gearbox honing in on these smaller changes that add up to a much better Borderlands 4 experience. In the coming months, gamers will start to see the release of more significant Borderlands 4 content, but in the meantime, the developer can continue refining what is already an excellent Borderlands title.
