How to Unlock Finway's Cup in Borderlands 4

To start the Finway's Cup mission in Borderlands 4, you need to travel to the Hungering Plain area on the planet Finway.

Look for a cliffside location where you'll find Orts, the mission giver, standing on a small stage set up for the event. He's hard to miss with his vibrant outfit and enthusiastic demeanor.

This mission becomes available after you've completed the main story mission "The Great Finway Rally" and reached level 15. If you don't see Orts, check back after progressing further in the story.
