Borderlands 4 (BL4): Main Mission Locations & Interactive Tracking Guide

There are 25 Main Missions in Borderlands 4 required to complete the story campaign. Your journey will take you across the planet Kairos as you fight to put a stop to The Timekeeper's rule.


Along the way, you will face hordes of mobs and Bosses, requiring you to constantly optimize your build. If you find the campaign too challenging (or too easy), remember that you can adjust the game difficulty at any time in the settings.


Unlike previous entries, Borderlands 4 allows you to replay specific story moments to farm XP or loot. Follow these steps:

  • Open the ECHO Menu.
  • Navigate to the Missions tab.
  • Select the completed mission and choose Replay.


Note: Not every Main Mission is replayable. If the option is greyed out, that specific mission cannot be repeated on the current save file.


Below is the full list of all 25 Main Missions in Borderlands 4. The table provides the starting location for each chapter, along with direct links to our interactive game maps to help you find the exact start points.
