Fresh Off The Bus - Borderlands (1 Story Mission) No Commentary Longplay Walkthrough

Описание: Fresh Off The Bus is the first story mission in Borderlands.

Background
"A mysterious, disembodied woman spoke to you and told you to follow this little robot into town. That seems like the best course of action, for now."

Objectives
Follow Claptrap into Fyrestone.

Strategy
Stepping off the bus leaves newcomers at an entrance to Fyrestone with only a single low-quality gun for possessions. Speak to the Claptrap to obtain a HUD, and an ECHO communications device, then follow it to the New-U Station. Using the console after demonstrating the New-U, the Claptrap rolls towards the north gate of Fyrestone. Rather than following him, give the area a thorough search for money, ammo and guns.
Any object with a green light can be searched, but around this area, usually only the dumpsters have a chance of holding new guns. Red chests, on the other hand, always hold weapons (or at least grenade mods and/or shields). The game's first red chest is on the roof of the hotel, and there are several ways to reach it. The easiest way is to jump from the generator on the hotel's south porch directly to the roof. The chest typically offers two new guns, both of which are probably more powerful than the default weapon carried by new characters.
After stocking up on any available guns, ammunition and cash, meet up with the Claptrap again at the Fyrestone gates, where it opens the door just as a bandit raiding party bursts into town. The ruins of the town often provide effective cover. This reduces the number of shots sustained from enemy weapons fire. Return fire striking the heads of the bandits will result in critical hit that amplifies the damage that they sustain and helps to eliminate them quickly.
After first wave of five or six bandits is killed, the Claptrap stops at another red chest containing a fixed set of Repeater Pistols. When playing alone, or in a two or three player party, the chest will only yield two repeaters: a Torgue and a Hyperion. When playing with a full four person party, the chest will contain four pistols. These basic handguns provide a good opportunity to see each manufacturer's speciality: The Torgue deals extra damage, the Hyperion has superior accuracy, the Vladof has a faster fire rate and the S&S Munitions offers an extended magazine. Even if they aren't particularly useful they can still be picked up to sell later on.
Progressing further into town draws the attention of the last bandits in the main street. Killing the final bandit completes the mission.

Trivia
The missions name is a reference to the phrase "fresh off the boat".

Story
In the distant future, in the year 2864, several colonization ships head to Pandora, a planet on the edge of the galaxy. The colonists are drawn there in search of a better life as well as vast mineral resources said to be on the planet, free for the taking, akin to a futuristic gold rush. Some time after settling, the colonists discover that there is little the planet offers aside from some decrepit alien ruins. When the companies mining the planet leave, they let loose the criminals they had employed as forced labor and left any other colonists there. Some of the settlers seek to get rich quick by discovering alien technology. Most others are just trying to survive. After seven Earth years, the planet's slow orbit brings a transition from winter to spring, and many horrifying creatures emerge from hibernation.
A beacon of hope for the remaining colonists emerges in the form of a mysterious alien Vault carved in the side of a mountain. This Vault is said to contain vast stores of alien technology and secrets.
