Borderlands 4 contains 14 Safehouses. They are one of the types of activities that’s needed for the Ruler of Everything trophy & achievement. They act as fast travel points, grant access to vending machines and new contract boards. Contracts are the one-step miniquests (such as bounties) that you accept from Safehouses and some Faction Towns.
Each Safehouse requires you to find a Datapad, which requires a little bit of searching and isn’t marked on the map. The Datapad will get a blue marker on it when going near it within a few meters, and glows green when looking at it. Then you must find the Command Console and insert the Datapad there. The Command Console is usually found near where the vending machine icons appear on the HUD radar. The console is also not marked on the map but easier to locate.
This guide shows the locations of all 14 Safehouses as well as their Datapads and Command Consoles.

The Fadefields
Safehouse 1: Abandoned Post
Automatically unlocked in Main Mission 2: Recruitment Drive as part of the story.
Safehouse 2: Shut-Eye Keep
To reach the safehouse use the elevator below it. To find the datapad, reach the last room of the safehouse where the vending machines are, at the vending machines turn around and scan ( 
) for a grapple point on the wall. Jump up there to find the datapad, it will glow green. Then interact with the command console in the last room of the safehouse where the vending machines are.
Safehouse 3: Someday Rise
This is on top of a mountain, track the icon on the map to see the line guiding you to it. The Datapad is in the safehouse area at the end of the path where some mangler enemies spawn. As soon as you reach this area turn right to find the datapad on a bed under a hut. After picking it up, the door to the main building in the middle will open. Go inside and claim the console where the vending machines are.
Safehouse 4: Wyclef’s Reprieve
Go through the safehouse and onto the balcony behind it. You must drop down the balcony where the floor is destroyed and you see sparks coming out. It’s a long fall to the area below (south of the safehouse icon on the map). There you find the datapad, it will be marked blue when near it. Now backtrack up to the safehouse and insert it in the console where the vending machines are.
Carcadia Burn
Safehouse 5: Makeshift Chalet
Drop down the cliffs behind the safehouse to find the datapad. The console is in the plaza where all the enemies are, not in the building where the safehouse icon is. From where you entered the plaza it’s on the left (west). Look on the HUD where the vending machine icons appear, that’s the building where you find the console. Tracking this location on the map gives a confusing location line, so ignore that.
Safehouse 6: The Lowrise
You must approach this safehouse from the upper level of the area, from the road to the west of the safehouse. Don’t approach it from the lower level to the east. You can mark it on the map and drive along the location line, it’s a long way around the area. Then on the upper level you will see a grapple point where you can pull yourself up. Jump over the platforms (don’t fall down) and go to the top. The datapad is on a platform at the top, to the back left of the safehouse (north corner). The console is also at the top near the datapad, on the front side of the safehouse, outside the safehouse, slightly south-west of the vending machines.
Safehouse 7: Wildhorn’s Beard
The datapad is on top of the mountain slightly south of the safehouse icon, in a small boat. When you mark the safehouse the location line leads you there. The console is slightly north of the safehouse icon, inside the ruins, where the vending machines appear on the HUD.
Terminus Range
Safehouse 8: Grey Havenage
Approach the safehouse from the south. The safehouse will be locked. There are two towers in front of the safehouse. When facing the safehouse look left (west) and climb up that tower by using the grappling point. Scan with to see climbing points and walls in green. From there you must glide over to the second tower, on top of it you find the datapad. This opens the door on the rooftop of the safehouse. From the second tower glide over to the safehouse roof, go through the door, drop down into the room with the vending machines. The console is in the same room as the vending machines.
Safehouse 9: Heritage Opus
Mark the safehouse location on the map and the location line will guide you there. The datapad is to the immediate right of the safehouse door on a little roof (south-west of safehouse door). Jump to it from the containers or the other small roof. This will open up the safehouse door. Go inside to find the console in the same room as the vending machines.
Safehouse 10: The Nightcap
This safehouse is in a little cave. You find the entrance slightly north of the safehouse icon on the map. Inside the cave, climb up the wall on the left (scan with to mark it green). While on the wall, turn around and glide over to another platform, the datapad is there. Pick it up to open the door to the safehouse at the end of the cave. The console is in the same room as the vending machines, at the end of the safehouse.
Safehouse 11: Snowy Wells
This safehouse is on top of a mountain. To reach the datapad you must climb onto the roof of the safehouse. Then use the grappling hooks to jump over the cliffs. Then you reach the datapad on a broken bridge to the east of the safehouse. Glide back to the safehouse. The console can be found on the southwest corner behind the safehouse, on the outside.
Dominion
Safehouse 12: The Lockaway
Automatically unlocked during Main Mission 17: The Falling Wall as part of the story.
Safehouse 13: The Food Court
The datapad is almost exactly where the safehouse icon is. Very slightly north of the vending machines on a garbage pile. The console is in the middle of the courtyard between all the vending machines.
Safehouse 14: Sumpview Falls
The datapad is found on the little balcony directly above the locked safehouse door where you can see the vending machine icons on the HUD. The console is to the left of the locked door in the area where some enemies spawn.
