- Borderlands Jump Chain:
- Well, it looks like you've jumped into the world of Pandora, not much here except for guns, crazy bandits and other things to shoot. you'd get busy gearing up. Keep in mind that developers have gone record saying that New-U stations are simply a game mechanic and not canon so this isn't going to be a cakewalk!

- 1.Fyrestone Bus Depot-BL1
- Little more than some scrap and a few Quonset huts, Fyrestone is a small, nearly abandoned settlement plagued by bandits. However, with a little work, it can quickly become a good starting place and there are plenty of easy quests and places to scavenge from around here.
- 2.T-Bone Junction-BL1
- A bit more urban, T-bone junction is usually a semi active stop along the drained ocean highway. However, you are surrounded by a blockade of Crimson Lance mercenaries and this is Pandora, so if you don't take action resources will run out in two years, forcing a confrontation

- You are most certainly going to be under constant assault by zombies, better get those Auto-Cannons online. Once secured you may able to open up one of the houses and find somewhere reasonably comfortable, and the vending machines will provide for the rest of your needs, but only if you don’t mind having to hunt down zombies for cash.
- 4. Tartarus Station-bl1
- This is actually a relatively stable and pleasant place, until a week from now when the bandit trains start coming.

Note: Your new minions count as items for the purposes of the Warehouse, however, these are thinking people who will need food, shelter, and entertainment in order for them to stick with you.

- Hello Traveler!: 400 CP, Discount Bandit Lord, discounted Twice for Entrepreneur, Free for Drop-In, Not Available for Vault Hunter
- Well lucky you, You've managed to jailbreak and repair (either literally or figuratively) a deactivated CL4P-TP General Purpose Robot. This handy little fellow can hack nearly any security system in less than half an hour, repair and maintain nearly any of the systems found on Pandora, provide a constant stream of semi-amusing banter and quips, and do some pretty heavy mathematics. It has perfect photographic memory, integrated mono-color hologram projector and basic storage deck with a miniature digistruct device onboard. Also, it can do any of the manual labor you could expect of an average seven-year-old human when the situation calls for it. It counts as a companion, and can be modified if you are skilled enough, but it's not going to be one of the famous Claptraps from the games. Additionally, if you choose this option after the line is discontinued and the last Claptrap finds out he will go to extreme measures to prevent you from leaving with it. If you are around for the Robot Revolution, it will not receive the update since it was jailbroken. Therefore, it will not go rogue and try to kill you.
- Catch'a Ride! Admin Passkey: 400 CP
- You gain administrator access to the Catch'a Ride network, and may summon any of these vehicles at any Catch'a Ride Station for no cost. If you chose both Workshop and Electricity for your Warehouse (as well as rip up the floor boards), you may choose to install a Catch'a Ride station, complete with destructive scanner, in your Warehouse. The vehicles to which you have access are dependent upon where you are in the timeline; you may not choose vehicles from Borderlands 2 or its expansions during the events of Borderlands. Otherwise, you have administrative access and can choose whatever vehicles you like, so long as they are in the Catch'a Ride system. The Passkey is a physical object about the size of a 1980s cell phone and can be lost or stolen. If Scooter, Moxie or Ellie find out you have this they will defend their family business and do their best to murder you painfully.
- Decked out: 600 CP, Discount Drop-In
- You gain four high-quality guns of your choice, a high-quality energy shield, an appropriate high-quality class mod, a high-quality grenade mod, and an appropriate high-quality relic.
- Disadvantages
- You may take up to two disadvantages.
- Worse Than The Midgets +200 CP
- People really don't like you. It's hard to say more than five words to anyone from this universe without them wanting to shoot you, and on Pandora they will try.
- Unreliable Reputation +200 CP
- There's only one thing that can keep you from ever finding a place on Pandora And that's if people have the idea that you can't get the job done. Unfortunately, that’s you. Wherever you go folks will have heard of you and some big screwup you committed. Working hard and flawlessly for nine years might let people trust you again but there is going to be a hard road ahead of you, since you can't get any work.
- Empty Chest Syndrome +300 CP
- Somehow whenever you find a chest there's nothing in it but ammo and cash. If you want good guns you're going to have to either fight some really hard opponents and complete a lot of missions since you're not going to be able to avail yourself of loot chests.
- Plenty of EXP … Loaders +400 CP
- someone up on the Hyperion moon base has it out for you, someone with lots of influence. At least once a day a group of five low level EXP loaders will be moonshot into your general vicinity, if
- you are living in Sanctuary and they find out it's you expect to be kicked out shortly.
- Midget, +400cp.
- You're a Midget, the radiation from the precursor artifacts in Headstone Mine has twisted you into someone significantly smaller but slightly faster than normal size people. Your body, mind, sanity and will are only a third as strong as they were when you got here and people are generally going to expect you to be crazy and erratic. Therefore expect plenty of discrimination and possibly abuse ahead.
- Animal Attack +500 CP
- You are being constantly followed by some seriously powerful examples of Pandora's wildlife. You will never be able to kill them all and they will harass you almost daily, but only seriously attack once a week at most.
- OPL8 +800 CP
- Okay, this is pretty rough. No matter how strong you were before, pretty much everything can get you down in two hits, most of your enemies have been replaced by even-badder-than-normal Bad Asses, and your attacks barely do anything on what few normal enemies remain. I hope you have charisma, because otherwise this is going to be over quick.go home
- Ending choice
- Go home
- you can go home keeping everything you've gained so far and ending your adventure
- Stay here
- you can spend the rest of your life on Pandora, just playing your role to the fullest, in time bandit Lords can become Lords of the planet,vault Hunters can discover a galaxy of vaults to loot and untold fame and fortune as legendary mercenaries , merchants can become corporate overlords greater than any in the recorded history of the universe.
- Continue
- you can move on to the next jump, in which case you gain the following. A customization station, ammo vendor, weapon vendor and medical vendor are added to your warehouse, if your warehouse is literally so full that there isn't room for these things one wall develops a nook to fit them in.
- The customization station allows you to switch between any race option you have chosen previously.
- The weapon vending machine allows you to both pawn and purchase weapons appropriate for your level of strength and power. rarely they will feature legendary items at extravagant prices. Additionally, it allows you to pawn weapons for whatever your local worlds cash is.
- The medical vending machine sells class mods, energy shields and
- health kits that can restore a certain amount of damage, although you will have to buy many if you have a especially large amount of health , these kits will work with whatever your body may be like. Very rarely, it will sell legendary unique items at extravagant prices. It will also allow you to pawn defensive and healing items for whatever your local world's cash is.
- The ammunition vending machine sells ammo for any kind of ranged weapon you can imagine
- as well as grenade mods, don't expect legendary items , and very few universes. Besides the
- one you just left have grenade mods which are the only thing it you can pawn in it
- Any attempts at tampering with these machines will cause them to go off-line rather explosively destroying all contents as well as creating a explosion that can ruin anything else in the warehouse, including yourself.
- Additionally any and all ammunition intended for a class of firearm become interchangeable, pistol bullets go in pistols, regardless of the make, model, or whether it's a black powder or energy pistol. The same with rifles, shotguns, etc.. You may still make or purchase specialty ammunition and it will keep its effects, but no more worrying about calibers, kinds of energy cells,etc.
