Here you can find a full Borderlands 4 Walkthrough of all Story Main Missions (Chapters).
Borderlands 4 has 123 missions in total (25 main missions & 98 Side Missions). It is recommended you do Side Missions along the way to level up so that Main Missions become easier. After the story you can still clean up remaining side missions in free roam. Most of the missions are also replayable via the missions menu. Some main missions can be played in a different order.

Side Quests by Area
Note: side missions that are part of questlines are listed under the area where the questline starts. Example: Brew-ha-ha technically starts in Coastal Bonescape, but is part of the questline in The Low Leys. Questlines are indented bullet points in the list.
5 Side Missions are hidden and unmarked: Breeding Daisies, Forgive Me, The Neverending Quarry, A Quarry of Epic Proportions, The Final Quarrel. If you’re missing any missions it’s likely these. Everything else gets marked by blue “!” icons when unfogging the map.
While the challenge counter on Missions > Challenges > World > Grassroots Campaigner shows 98 side missions, there actually only seem to be 96 and some count double on the challenge. Doing all the below brings the challenge tracker to 98. You can check what missions you’ve done under Missions > Replay, filter by Location or Name.
