Borderlands 4 Guides Detail ‘Recruitment Drive’ Elevator Fix

Solving it opens the Abandoned Post safehouse, granting fast travel plus early rewards.

Overview

  • Players hitting a stalled elevator during Recruitment Drive can progress by taking a glowing device or fuse from a dead body near the balcony railing by the lift.
  • Outlets report the switch can appear missing or malfunctioning, blocking the prompt to call the elevator during this early mission step.
  • If the sequence fails to advance, waiting for Claptrap’s follow-up dialogue for roughly a minute is advised, with a save reload suggested if nothing triggers.
  • Using the device restores the panel so the lift can bring Claptrap up, after which the Abandoned Post safehouse can be activated as a fast-travel point.
  • Completing this step yields a shield, XP, cash, and eridium, with safehouse progress contributing SDU upgrade benefits across Kairos.
