Mission list
If you’re slowly making your way through Borderlands 4, or you’re just curious about what the story entails before picking the game up, we’ve collated a full list of all of the missions in Gearbox Software’s latest title.
Missions in Borderlands 4 are spread across the region of Kairos, where you’ll need to complete tasks in three main areas before entering Dominion, the final area where The Timekeeper resides. We’ve got the main story Borderlands 4 mission list down below.
That’s a lot of shooting so some Golden Keys from Borderlands 4 Shift Codes could provide you with powerful weapons to help.

There are 21 main story missions in Borderlands 4, divided amongst four different regions. Once you complete the One Fell Swoop mission in The Fadefields region, you can swap between regions and finish them off in any order in Borderlands 4.
The Fadefields
Guns Blazing
Recruitment Drive
Down and Outbound
A Lot to Process
One Fell Swoop
Rush the Gate
Carcadia Burn
Wrath of the Ripper Queen
Siege and Destroy
Her Flaming Vision
Terminus Range
Shadow of the Mountain
Crystal Brawl
Dark Subject
His Vile Sanctum
Rising Action
Another Day, Another Universe
The Falling Wall
Means of Ascent
The Timekeeper’s Order
Secrets of the Vault
If you’re finding the story mode a bit much, or you just want to spend more time exploring certain regions then there are 98 side missions you can delve into. These can be located and played through at any point in the game.
Once you’ve completed the main story, you can then play Ultimate Vault Hunter mode. This allows you to pick up new characters starting at Level 30 and try them out without having to start from scratch with each Vault Hunter. Your guns and map location don’t automatically carry over to be sure to store your best weapons in the bank and rediscover fast travel points.
Have a gander at our Borderlands 4 tips to help with your playthrough.

Lego Voyagers review: “A carefully crafted, playful, and earnest adventure”
There’s now a real version of the Witcher Gwent card game, and it’s just as engrossing as the original
Borderlands 4 review: “Undeniably an excellent looter shooter, but one that requires a bit of tunnel vision to fully enjoy”
This enormous exploration board game won’t be for everyone, but it’s a masterclass in narrative and sandbox gameplay
Hollow Knight Silksong review: “Worth the wait and then some, this isn’t just more Hollow Knight but an evolved, spindly beast all its own – even if it’s fiddly at times”
The Conjuring: Last Rites review: “Not bold or memorable enough for the Warrens’ final chapter”

The Long Walk review: “One of the best Stephen King adaptations ever made”
Frankenstein review: “A classy, if somewhat safe, adaptation”
