New-U Stations are antenna-like terminals scattered throughout Pandora, primarily located at outposts and transition points. The New-U Station serves a vital function. It stores a character's DNA against the possibility of "accidental death or dismemberment" and can create an entirely new body to replace the recently deceased one. This 'new you' will appear at the last station the character activated.

There are two versions of the New-U Station. The interactive models are mainly located at major towns or outposts. The smaller, non-interactive versions are scattered in less populated areas such as caves. Both types of stations do two things: They act as a save point for Borderlands' auto-save function, and as a respawn point in case of character death. When a character comes within range of a station, the red light will change to green and the game will automatically save.

The fully interactive New-U-Stations offer several functions to the character:

• Name Change
• Change the color of a character's outfit
• Reset Skill Points
• Access to the Fast Travel Network

Notes Edit

• When a new character freshly arrives on Pandora, the Fast Travel network is offline and is unavailable until the mission, Powering The Fast Travel Network is completed, however players are still able to use the Fast Travel system to access DLC locations without having to do the mission.
• Teleporting using a New-U station is free of charge.
• The fee for respawning at a New-U station costs 7% of a character's money. For example, if the character carries $1,000, the fee would be $70. To avoid paying this fee when a character is close to death, the game can be exited and restarted, although in single-player this also resets the level that the character was in and returns the character to the last major New-U Station visited. In Multi-player, the client participants also have this option, however if the host discontinues the game, all players present will be forced to restart.
• If a character has less than $15 then the reconstruction fee will be waived, as 7% of the character's cash is not at least $1. This can be seen in the image to the right.

TriviaEdit

• New-U-Stations are manufactured by the Hyperion company. The Hyperion logo is visible just above the holographic access panel.
• The New-U Station may be a reference to the "New-U" in the film Logan's Run.
