Currently, gear that is rewarded for completing a story episode deposits directly into the gear bank. This makes players have to search through their bank to find the new gear to decide whether they want to keep or sell it. The default sorting is newest first making it easier to find the stuff you just got, but for players who like to sort by type or activation cost it’s more hassle.
It would be nice to have the story reward gear be placed off to the left of the gear bank just like having opened a loot pack. The downside of this is getting to your loadouts quickly because there is more loot to sort through from story than loot packs.
Thoughts? Thanks. Loving Battleborn so far, Gearbox!

i like this idea also fixes another problem i encountered and probably more people experienced.
Just like with Borderlands the struggle of throwing away “useless” loot/gear. That’s why people want more bank space, to save that potential great looking piece of gear or collect all the legendary gear. My bank space is often full and after playing a story mission i have a over packed inventory 55/39. Now i have to throw away my saved gear in order to see my new earned gear. But this new gear might just go to the trash and i threw away (in my mind) useful gear.
@Jythri is this possible ?

Maybe if a third section was added to the Gear tab of Command for loot, then the back up of items wouldn’t be an issue for accessing loadouts and keeping the bank tidy.

Any Story related loot should automatically be placed in a generic loot pack so we can open it later. They can even call it Story Pack. It’s definitely frustrating having to click on half your stash trying to find the items you just looted in Story mode.

Not an easy fix in the short term. That space on the left side of the screen is only built to hold a small amount of items (I think 5 is the limit) and you can get more than that from a story mission.
You CAN sort by “newest” which is what I do frequently.
I’ll talk with some of the team tomorrow and see if we can provide some clearer notification here in a later patch.

The only issue I’ve encountered with sorting out the story rewarded loot is that if your bank is full by a few, you have to sometimes sell some gear in order to even view the new pieces of gear.
So if I have like 94/79, Even if I sort by “newest” it won’t show the loot I just got until I sell some stuff.
Same goes for the other sorting options as well, things won’t show up until you sell some stuff.
