Short explanation
  • 01. Story missions are numbered and highlighted in bold text.
  • 01. Side missions are numbered with a new list and highlighted in italic text.
    • 02. The further away from the left-hand margin a side mission is indicates that the mission directly above it must be completed before it becomes available.

Thanks to Borderlands Wikia[borderlands.wikia.com]

I played this game with a friend of mine in coop. I played Roland (Soldier) and he played Mordecai (Hunter). The timestamps, you'll find in this guide, is always the time, we needed together to finish all missions.

We use a shared Google Docs document, where we check all done missions like this:
  • 01. Story missions are numbered and highlighted in bold text.
  • 01. Side missions are numbered with a new list and highlighted in italic text.

Underscore means active mission, strike means done mission.

You can copy this missionflow easiely into a document and do it the same way! :)

Excellent!

Well, good question. For this you should search the wikia borderlands.wikia.com
The quests and regions have level caps.
Mike Sav 12 Nov, 2017 @ 7:50am 
Does anyone know how the DLCs scale? Like the levels of the enemies

cheers dude

To find this quest you have to search around Hallow's End. You can find a piece of T.K. in the upper south-western part of Hallow's End. There you can activate a quest and you'll find T.K., or someone, that looks like him :D
