Learn how to unlock Beyond the Veil, the rarest Vault Hunter skin in Borderlands 4, with a step-by-step guide of requirements.

Beyond the Veil is a late-game Vault Hunter skin with an Eridium theme. Unlike most other skins, Beyond the Veil isn’t tied to any particular quest, shop, code, or DLC. Instead, it becomes available when you progress to higher difficulties and meet the right conditions.
How To Unlock the Beyond the Veil Skin in Borderlands 4
To unlock the Beyond the Veil skin in Borderlands 4, you have to reach Ultimate Vault Hunter (UVH 5) difficulty. The main challenge to reach UVH 5 includes clearing all three Primordial Vaults and defeating their bosses at the UVH 4 difficulty. The Vaults you need to clear at UVH 4 include:
- Vault of Inceptus: The Fadefields
- Vault of Radix: Carcadia Burn
- Vault of Origo: Terminus Range
Clearing all the vaults and defeating their guardians is a highly challenging task, requiring a refined build and synergizing gear. Furthermore, accessing each Vault requires finding three Vault Fragments within its region.
Borderlands 4: UVH Requirements for Beyond the Veil Skin

Ultimate Vault Hunter 2-5 are endgame difficulties that can be unlocked after you complete the main story’s final mission. Reaching UVH 2 requires completing specific UVH missions given by Lilith at Moxxi’s bar.
Once you complete the missions, you can play the game at UVH 2 to unlock UVH 3 and so on until UVH 5. To unlock Beyond the Veil, you’ll have to reach UVH 5 by completing all the missions for UVH 2, 3, and 4. Each UVH difficulty boosts enemy health, damage taken, and rewards.

How To Unlock Ultimate Vault Hunter 5

After unlocking UVH 4, switch to the difficulty mode and check the challenges menu for all the tasks required to unlock UVH 5 missions. These include finding three Vault Key Fragments for all three Primordial Vaults. Once the fragments are located, you can open the Vaults and fight your way through waves of enemies until you reach the Primordial Guardians.
Defeating the Primordial Guardians at UVH 4 is the main challenge keeping you from unlocking Beyond the Veil. The Vault’s Primordial Guardians are the most challenging bosses in Borderlands 4, and beating them at UVH 4 is no easy feat. UVH 4 increases enemy health by 300%, damage taken by 18%, and damage dealt through elemental affinities.
After clearing all three Primordial Vaults, return to Lilith at Moxxi’s bar. She will give you the The Timekeeper’s Order Wildcard Mission, which repeats the penultimate mission of the main story with enemy difficulty ramped up. Complete the mission to unlock UVH 5 and the Beyond the Veil skin for your Vault Hunter.
