Borderlands 4 Story Missions: Every Chaotic Chapter in Kairos

Look, we all know “how long” is a loaded question in the Borderlands. Are you a speed-demon who only cares about the main story? Or are you a die-hard completionist who needs to sniff out every last Claptrap part and hidden Eridium stash?

• Main Story Only: If you put your head down and mainline the story, you’re looking at a solid 20-25 hours of pure, unadulterated chaos.
• Completionist Run: If you’re the type who can’t leave a single side quest unturned or a collectible unfound, you’d better book some time off. You’ll be happily lost on Kairos for upwards of 100 hours.

Compared to its predecessors, Borderlands 4 lands squarely between Borderlands 3‘s brisk pace and Borderlands 2‘s epic saga, offering the best of both worlds.

A breakdown of the Borderlands 4 story missions

The main campaign of Borderlands 4 serves up 21 story missions, each a glorious excuse to cause explosions and collect shiny new guns. The action is spread across the four main regions of the new planet, Kairos. You’ll start in The Fadefields before the game opens up, letting you tackle the next two regions in any order you please before heading to the final showdown in Dominion. It’s a choose-your-own-adventure of destruction!

Here’s the complete mission list, broken down by region, so you can track your beautiful, bloody progress.

The Fadefields mission list

This is where your grand adventure kicks off. You’ll get your bearings, recruit some allies, and probably punch a skag or two for old times’ sake.

1. Guns Blazing
2. Recruitment Drive
3. Down and Outbound
4. A Lot to Process
5. One Fell Swoop
6. Rush the Gate

Carcadia Burn mission list

Ready to feel the heat? Carcadia Burn is all about fire, fury, and a rather ticked-off Ripper Queen. Things get explosive.

1. Wrath of the Ripper Queen
2. Siege and Destroy
3. Unpaid Tab
4. Her Flaming Vision

Terminus Range mission list

Things get a little dark and mysterious in the mountains. You’ll be dealing with shady experiments and uncovering secrets that are better left buried.

1. Shadow of the Mountain
2. Crystal Brawl
3. Dark Subject
4. His Vile Sanctum

Dominion mission list

This is it—the grand finale. You’ve made it to the Timekeeper’s doorstep, and it’s time to kick it down. The fate of, well, time itself is in your hands. No pressure.

1. Rising Action
2. Another Day, Another Universe
3. The Falling Wall
4. Means of Ascent
5. Plan Z
6. The Timekeeper’s Order
7. Secrets of the Vault

What happens after the main story ends?

Beat the Timekeeper and watched the credits roll? Oh, you sweet summer child. You’re just getting started. The real grind begins in the endgame, where the enemies are tougher, the loot is shinier, and the challenges are crazier. Here’s a taste of what awaits:

• Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode (UVHM): The classic New Game+ experience, where everything hits harder, but the rewards are oh-so-much sweeter.
• Moxxi’s Big Encore: Instantly re-fight bosses to farm that perfect piece of gear without the annoying save-and-quit dance.
• Specializations: A brand-new, account-wide progression system to make all your Vault Hunters beefier.
• Maurice’s Black Market: Your favorite saurian is back, hiding his legendary vending machine in a new spot every week.

So, there you have it. Whether you’re halfway through your first playthrough or already planning your endgame domination, the Borderlands 4 mission list is your roadmap to glory. Now get out there and make some mayhem!
