How Rush Saved Mercenary Day
How Rush Saved Mercenary Day is the first Bounty Pack available in Borderlands 4. See how to start How Rush Saved Mercenary Day, the new boss, legendaries, all Bounty Pack 1 content, and its release date here.

How to Start How Rush Saved Mercenary Day

Interact with Presents in Towns

The War On Mercenary Day Present Launchpad

To start How Rush Saved Mercenary Day, you'll need to go to towns and interact with a present there. The easiest one to access should be The Launchpad. This should give you the side mission called The War on Mercenary Day. If you don't see a present or a quest marker, you may need to progress further in the main missions before it unlocks.

As for the rest of the content, they should be available simply by updating. The Vault Card for this bounty pack should already be unlocked and can be progressed without starting the side mission.
