Borderlands - Walkthrough: Part 1

- Watch the introduction sequence, with a great song by Cage the Elephant, and get off of the bus.

- Talk to the Claptrap that approaches you.

- Follow the Claptrap to the New-U station.

- Name your character and select the colors you wish to wear.

- Follow Claptrap to the gate into Fyrestone.

- After the bandits fly past on their vehicles, enter the gated area and move along the linear path killing all of the bandits that you run into. Along the way make sure to pick up any dropped weapons, as well as search for any hidden chests that could contain weapons, ammo, or cash.

- After reaching the end of the linear path, Claptrap will try to open a large fence but will fail at doing so. Follow him through the small secret passage he opens up.

- Ahead of you will be a save access point. Make sure you run up to it so that the light changes from red to green and that you see the Borderlands symbol in the upper right hand corner which means the game has saved your progress.

- Continue along the linear path killing and bandits you run into, as well as scouring the area for any hidden chests that you can unlock for free cash and ammo.

- Eventually you will reach Fyrestone. When you do, make sure to search the town for any hidden chests to open for even more free weapons, cash, and ammo.

- When you are ready, meet the Claptrap in front of Doctor Zed's shop.

New Mission: The Doctor is In

- Open the door, and talk to Doctor Zed to complete the quest.

New Mission: Skags at the Gate

- Follow the Claptrap to the Southern gate of Fyrestone.

- When you near the gate, bandits will attack and the Claptrap will be hit by a large missile type projectile.

New Mission: Claptrap Rescue

- Follow the green waypoint marker and head East after passing through the gate.

- Kill off all of the attacking Skags, and then return to Doctor Zed's shack.

- Install the power coupling you took off of the downed vending machine into the medical vending machine in Doctor Zed's shack.
