The Bank or Marcus Bank is a feature added with Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot, allowing players to store items from their character's inventory. The bank is located in The Underdome. Access to the bank is achieved by talking to the Claptrap in the tuxedo, who acts as the cashier. The Bank was created as a subsidiary of Marcus Corp. and to celebrate its opening, Marcus Corp. funded Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot so that the Vault hunters could kill "hundreds and hundreds" of people.[1]

Usage

Bank 'stache

'Stache your loot!! @ The Bank

The Bank will store all the player's equipment without the worry of clogging up the player's inventory with things they are not sure what to do with. It will carry its own unique orange screen (similar to Vending Machines) in which you can either deposit or withdraw items. You can upgrade the storage space of your bank by buying Bank Upgrades which, for now, can only be bought from the Red Weapons Vending Machine right outside the bank itself.

Bank Upgrade Levels 8 and 9 become available in playthrough 2. Bank Upgrade Level 10 becomes available upon unlocking playthrough 2.5.

Trivia

  • The Bank was added due to the request of many players of not being able to carry all of their equipment.[2]
  • You only need to buy the level 10 Bank Upgrade to have max Bank slots, there's no need to buy every single one.
  • The Banker Claptrap can be damaged by a Transfusion Grenade, crying out "OOOHHHH!" (apparently the only thing this Claptrap actually says out loud).
  • The Banker Claptrap is actually using dirty magazines to raise him to eye level. Similar magazines can be found on the party boat in Treacher's Landing, and scattered in other areas.
  • If you look at the second teller window, you will see a burning barrel with some stuff and T.K. Baha's artificial leg.
  • In the vault behind the Banker, there's one silver and one red weapon chests, as well as one ammo chest and a small safe. To the right of the vault, there's four more red weapon chests, as well as 48 safes (46 closed and 2 open).
