Guardian Rank is a new way to level up that unlocks once you complete Borderlands 3’s main story.
Leveling up your Guardian Rank will allow you to invest in a variety of bonus stats, giving you an advantage over your enemies, especially if you play Mayhem mode.
In addition to bonus stats, you can also receive special rewards if you invest enough Guardian Tokens into a specific set of bonus stats.

What is Guardian Rank in Borderlands 3?
Guardian Rank is an additional way to level up that is unlocked once you have completed the main story of Borderlands 3.
The purple Guardian Rank experience bar will appear above the regular experience bar.
You’ll receive Guardian Rank experience every time you complete a side quest, complete a challenge, kill an enemy, or do anything else that rewards you with experience in Borderlands 3.
When the experience bar fills up, you will get a Guardian Token.
You can spend Guardian Token to increase bonus stats.
Guardian Rank Bonus Stats Explained

There are three different sets of bonus stats you can spend your Guardian Token on:
- Enforcer: Focuses on damage-based stats.
