Borderlands 4 has introduced a significant quality-of-life change for veteran players, automatically unlocking Faction Towns and Fast Travel points for new Level 30 characters.
This change addresses a long-standing criticism of the game, where players who completed the campaign and started a new character at Level 30 had to re-unlock the entire world map, including major Faction Towns.
Players restarting at Level 30 aren't exactly there to redo much of the busy work involved in a first playthrough.
This update is a welcome change for Borderlands 4 veterans, allowing them to create a new character and start playing without having to redo previous progress.
