Borderlands Walkthrough 2026 Part 20: Hidden Journals - Rust Commons East + Circle of Slaughter!

Hey my name is Major Slack and welcome back to my Borderlands 1 Redemption Run. Yes, I'm playing Borderlands 1 in 2026! Why? Because after doing a complete walkthrough of Borderlands 4, I became thoroughly disenchanted. My biggest gripe with Borderlands 4 was the relentless, excessive NPC dialogue which heavily clashed with the ability to enjoy the combat. It felt like the game was afraid to let me have a moment of silence. This walkthrough is my direct reaction to that—a "Therapeutic Redemption Run" where we go back to the game that actually respects the player's time and focus. In this playthrough, we’re revisiting a version of Pandora that understood balance. While Borderlands 3 and Borderlands 4 had NPCs stepping all over the combat with motormouthing inanities, the original 2009 debut of this franchise was only lightly peppered with cryptic messages from the Guardian Angel or the occasional reminder from Claptrap to check the bounty board. For the most part, it just left you alone to dive into the gameplay and enjoy the grit. Let’s go back to the way things were meant to be. It’s time for some peace, quiet, and a whole lot of shoot-em-up. Support Major Slack on Patreon! I practice and study before uploading all videos in order to produce REAL walkthroughs instead of just blind playthroughs. This invariably takes a lot of extra time and effort.
