Borderlands 4 Ancient Crawler Gameplay Tips and Strategies
Finding Batteries
Each Ancient Crawler requires a battery to activate. These are typically hidden within 100-200 meters of the tower. Look for glowing energy sources and listen for the distinct humming sound they emit.
Enemy Encounters
Most Ancient Crawler locations are guarded by local wildlife or bandit patrols. Come prepared with adequate weapons and consider clearing the area before attempting the puzzle.
Optimal Level Range
Ancient Crawlers are scattered across Kairos with varying difficulty levels. We recommend being between levels 15-25 before attempting to collect all of them.
Co-op Benefits
Playing with friends makes collecting Ancient Crawlers easier. While one player deals with enemies, the other can focus on finding the battery and activating the tower.
