Your Backpack is the most essential tool for getting loot in Borderlands 4, and it can be extremely limited initially.
The space available at the start of your adventure is minimal. You can have at most 16 items (including what you're using), including guns and equipped armor. If your Backpack is full, you can't pick up any loot.
Thankfully, there is a temporary workaround to solve the problem, followed by a permanent solution.

How to increase Backpack space in Borderlands 4?
The answer to this is via SDU. Short for Storage Deck Upgrade, these items allow you to choose different upgrades for multiple departments in Borderlands 4. One such upgrade on offer is related to your Backpack. The first of those upgrades begins at 5 SDU (pretty cheap), but starts going up the more you unlock.
Upgrading your Backpack with the help of SDU will be the permanent solution. However, you don't have a lot of SDU at the beginning. You can earn them from plenty of side quests, but that takes time. Initially, the main campaign is the priority, so you won't be able to secure too much SDU (there are other upgrades to unlock).
Till you can reasonably expand your Backpack, there's an alternative solution.
How to create a temporary Backpack space in Borderlands 4?
If you observe your Backpack by pressing the Tab button, you'll find a Bank icon on the top right of your screen.
The Bank is an extra storage space that allows you to store items you don't require. This frees up room in your Backpack, and you can sell the items later to earn money. Just right-click on an item you want to transfer to your Bank. Mark all the items you wish to do the same, and then keep the V button pressed until the transfer is complete.
Remember that your Bank inventory storage space is also limited, so be careful about how much loot you pick up. You can also use the SDU to upgrade the inventory size of the Bank, just like the Backpack. Doing so will allow you to send more items to the Bank, which directly converts into greater Inventory space for your loot.
