Without getting into spoiler territory, Borderlands 3’s story campaign features a total of 23 chapters. In our playthrough, we managed to beat the campaign in around 25 hours, while also dabbling in a few side missions along the way.

If you’re planning on seeing everything the game has to offer, you’ll almost certainly spend more than 30 hours just checking out the open world and all the available side missions.

We’ve included a list of all the chapter and mission names in the story campaign down below. Do be warned that some of the later mission names might be a tad spoiler-y, however, so look away if you want to go in completely fresh.
