How to Unlock Null and Void in Borderlands 4
To start the Null and Void faction mission, you must first complete the main story mission "Rush the Gate." This mission becomes available after reaching level 15 and progressing through the main storyline on the planet Promethea.

After completing the main mission, travel to The Howl region, slightly south of Outbounders HQ. Look for Rush standing at the side of a road near a broken-down vehicle. He'll have a exclamation mark above his head indicating he has a mission for you.

Find Conway Objectives
1. Talk to Rush at Outbounders HQ
After accepting the mission from Rush, he'll ask you to meet him at the Outbounders HQ to discuss the details of finding Conway, a missing member of their group.
2. Find Conway's First ECHO Log
Head east to the Wreck of the Nostalgia location. Clear the area of Skags and Marauders before searching for clues. You'll find Conway's first ECHO Log beside a makeshift bed near the ship's wreckage.

4. Use the Intercom at Tetanus Quad
Head to the crash site in Tetanus Quad, just past Idolator's Noose. Look for a reinforced door with an intercom system. Use it to speak with Chugs, the ripper who has information about Conway.

5. Retrieve Rippers' Food Supplies
Chugs will demand food in exchange for information. Travel south to Rattlehead Crest shoreline and collect 10 boxes of scattered food supplies. Watch for hostile wildlife in the area.

6. Place Food at Designated Spot
Return to the intercom and you'll be granted entry to the ripper compound. Place the food on the marked spot in the center of the area. Be prepared for an ambush!

7. Defend Against Ripper Attack
After placing the food, the rippers will turn on you. Eliminate all hostile rippers to secure the area. Use cover and area-of-effect weapons for these close-quarters engagements.
8. Find Crane Controls
Conway will direct you to the crane controls to lower their cage. The crane controller will attack on sight - defeat him first. Then climb the crane structure and interact with the controls.
Glitch Warning: Missing Switch on Crane Controls
Some players report a glitch where the switch doesn't appear on the crane controls. If this happens, save and quit the game, then reload to resolve the issue.

Free Conway Objectives
1. Energize Starboard and Port Valves
To free Conway, you need to power up the ship's engines. Find and activate both the starboard and port engine valves.
The starboard engine is located in the void-exposed area. Watch your step! The port engine is accessed by hopping down from the starboard platform to the left side and finding an entrance.

4. Defeat Chugs
