How to unlock all Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode ranks in Borderlands 4

Borderlands 4 UVHM unlocks: A close-up shot of the Timekeeper talking with his right hand outstretched behind him.

Borderlands 4 has some pretty shabby UI, from its clunky inventory to lots of visual clutter, but the Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode unlock challenges take the cake. UVHM is an endgame feature that cranks up the difficulty, and despite it being the main goal once you beat the campaign, there's no clear path to progress through the ranks.

You'll unlock UVH 1 automatically once you complete the campaign and the short introductory Ultimate Vault Hunter missions, which involve learning about Firmware, tracking down Maurice's Black Market location, and beating a Wildcard Mission. It's heavily tutorialised, but once that's out of the way, you're left to your own devices. So, here's exactly what you need to do to unlock Ultimate Vault Hunter 2 and beyond.
