It should autosave as long as you leave the game / shut down properly by use of <esc> then <quit> then <save and quit>.

when you exit the game, it saves.

Also if you see in the top right hand corner, when do certain things (Enter new places, sell guns, get quests, etc) a blue Vault Symbol should flash. That is also an indication that your game is saving

You can't just save your progress anywhere. Save/quitting in the middle of a mission or sequence will see you returned to the start of the area or mission when you resume. In other words, missions must be completed or restarted. Some of these blocks of gameplay involve lots of time and territory.

Whenever the vault symbol appears on your screen your game saves.

After playing BL1 and BL2 early when published, I checked last month BL2 at a PlayStation 4 to see graphics improvement over a remastered version, and found Gearbox changed the way save is done. At early versions whenever the Vault Symbol showed you would return to there after leaving the game. Now one restarts at the level start always making the player to repeat the progress made, even if keeping level and items (with bugs at PS3 )

For me it makes no sense, it is as having a word processor who auto saves at every end of paragraph, and also at each chapter, and lets you leave the document just to find you have just until the end of the last chapter, and have to write the following paragraphs. Its not the same, of course, but explains the feeling. As a sort of RPG, BL2 only wins with continuity.

Players find this by losing progress first times they play, cause the text on-play instructions fail to explain it, and it is not intuitive.
