Exactly. If you have a bunch of one item at different levels and with different prefixes it’s impossible to sort them into a group.
If they won’t add tabs at least add a search that searches by text string. Every item should have a hidden text version of the item card including elements (I assume there is already something like this for sorting). Then you could search for any text string on the item card. Want to search for corrosive or level or prefix or regen or even red text? Just type it in the search bar. How hard could this be? Seriously.
The bank definitely needs a quality of life fix as well as increased space due to the new legendaries and unique gear in the DLC,I have every single legendary pre new dlc and with the newest ones I’m currently at about 15 spaces free and I have the max amount!
Is this maybe platform specific? I’ve never had it reset my inventory when selling items and I can easily go though my backpack selling as I go. I’m on XB1.
It very well might be. I discovered that it only happens when I hit “E” to withdraw the item. If I use the mouse to click on the item for withdraw it doesn’t seem to happen. Not sure why this is the case but considering consoles are an entirely different input it may not happen with a controller if it doesn’t happen with a mouse.
Yeah, I mark everything as junk and then just sell all junk. However, that doesn’t help for withdrawing items from the bank which is the problem I mentioned.

I’ve found on XB1 that performance degrades. You start out with the selection staying put but then, after a while, it starts jumping to the 1st item after each sale. I’ve not yet figured out what triggers the change in behaviour.
I’m on PS4 and this happens to me 100% of the time. The only way to prevent it that I’m aware of is to use the compare feature provided you start with the item in the bank then compare to something in your inventory–if you exit out it will go back to the item you selected in the bank. But this doesn’t help if you want to remove something from the bank. I’d like to see the bank have labels like BL2 did. It should also sort by value . Lastly, I’d like to be able to sort by rarity within an item class (e.g., sort assault rifles by color–for some reason purples of the same level as legendaries sometimes appear first, perhaps b/c they have a higher item score due to annointments).
I agree with all of this except that we need “per character” banks.
NO!!!
The big shared bank has saved me SO much time trawling through different characters and their banks to find items. B2 and TPS had a massive issue with that.
It’s fine to split the shared bank into tabs, one tab per character, but don’t block them off again and prevent me from seeing my Fl4k items with my Amara or swap items between them.
In the last Borderlands Show, they talked about a way to mail items between characters, not just to friends, which would help, but if I need an item FROM that character, it would still be much slower than a shared bank.
I have over 50 now. laughs in hoarder
Yeah, this is going to be a huge issue. Really hoping they do something about this.
Surely they could highlight the key word in a guns/items name, like Carbuncle, Wyvern, Anarchy, Bitch, Snowdrift, Friend-Bot, etc. and then you could group or search by that. So all your lobs in various elements, or whatever, would pop up and you could compare them.
Especially on PC, where you could click that bit of text and bring up all others with the same name.
Yeah, pretty sure when sorting by type it secondary sorts by item score, not rarity. Think gearbox thought everyone would obsess over scores and forget rarity, but nobody I know seems to care about the score very much. They want to focus on type, then rarity, then whether or not anointed, followed by item stats (which I guess would be the score) - in that order.
I cant stand how the “!” Alwa TDs pops up everytime in the bank. Clear it and it still comes back. That’s annoying lol.
From day 1 I told my long time borderlands co OP friend, sorting needs improvement. They took an option out. Like dollar value. But they could add so much more.
I don’t see a problem with literally two vaults in each room. One that you place items that can be shared between, and one that has specific items. And another 300 spaces would be appreciated. A billion guns to manage is often hard work…
I have 300 lv57 sntnl 100 guns in one of my PSN accounts all Zane, all different types, and that’s still being selective. I.e. 20 pellet Anarchy’s…
You don’t even need 2 vaults in the room. Again, going back to the idea of tabs…they could just have 2 tabs. One representing the shared bank space and a second one for that character only. Even just this simple idea would make sifting through bank items far more manageable. There are a number of things GB could do to make the bank/inventory less terrible. They just need to do it because the current system SUCKS!
Yea IDK if anyones encountered a glicth where your bank and guardian tokens “refresh.” For example if i spend a guardian token about 8 seconds later it unspends and refunds me the token. Also in the bank if i mark anything as favorite or junk all my items reload and the marks are all gone, as well as giving me a “!” on every item. This happens every 4 seconds or so. Im pretty sure this is due to some weird user data issue because that is the only thing tying these to UIs together. On PS4 if anyone knows how to fix.
I’d love the option for weapons to appear in alphabetical order. Often when I’m chucking stuff, I’ll look through, say, Night Hawkins and keep the best one or two while disposing of the others. If I could organise things so that all the Night Hawkins would appear together, that would make it so much easier comparing stars and making best use of my bank space.
This could be easily achieved by having an actual search feature instead of the stupid, limited sort feature. All text displayed on an item card should be searchable so you can search by name or element or level or bonuses or whatever. Then it would hide all other items that don’t match that criteria allowing you to more easily look at what you are trying to look at.
The problem isn’t how many banks you have in each room. Or how many tabs, though it would be good to have more tabs. The problem is having any kind of bank that can only be accessed by a particular character.
Bear in mind that there are three characters with around three builds each (assuming you create a single build for each pair of skill trees). That’s 12 characters for some players. (More for some people who have different levels, etc).
Imagine one of them picks up an item, like a Lob, and pops it in the personal bank. Later, they realise it would fit another character, so they have to look for it.
Under the single shared bank, they just look through the bank. Currently that’s slow (but would be faster if you could search better), but it’s much faster than having to load up potentially around 10 characters and search each of their banks (especially on consoles). And then move the item to the shared bank and swap back to the original character.
And yeah, you could store items in the shared bank if they fit multiple characters, but having ANY kind of personal bank will mean less effort placed into the shared bank and less slots, making it harder to use.
Gotta love it when one player decides they know what is best for the whole community.
There is no reason at all why the game can’t support both shared and personal bank storage. If you don’t want to use the personal storage, that’s up to you, but plenty of us would love to use it.
I only play one alt of each character class, so for me, three reasons immediately jump to mind:
class mods
weapons with class specific annointments
my Zane is still leveling, so all <50 gear goes to him
