Borderlands 2 - World Traveler Guide

Travelling the Borderlands? Welcome to Pandora! You will need this map if you are to find your way around and successfully achieve the "World Traveler" achievement!

Introduction

Greetings traveler!

So, you want to discover all the locations in Borderlands 2? Good for you! You will need this map if you are to keep track of all the places you've been and are yet to be (also known as "foreshadowing").

Short summary:

These maps have been put together to help you understand all the areas and locations you need to visit for the "Arctic Explorer", "Urban Explorer", "Highlands Explorer" and "Blight Explorer", as well as the "World Traveler" achievements. There are a few exceptions to these maps and they are mentioned in the "Legend" section of this guide.[/quote}
Before you go on and discover all of Pandora, complete the main story line and the side missions since many areas happen to be locked until you complete the pre-requisite mission, allowing you access to the zone afterwards.

I've read forums saying Natural Selection isn't part of this (nor the side campaign DLCs) but this guide says it is. Is the Creature Slaughterdome DLC required for this achievement?

[OGSNAKEKILLER TTV]

it was the exit to holy spirits

[[Ar]Curry]

My last was the little camp near split skull bay in three horns valley. Doesn't seem to be a named location, but has to be discovered

[WatchYourToneBoi]

For me, it was the Moonshiner's Rack in The Dust. Just in case someone missed that

[dreuh2001]

Avie's camp 😅

[Hatred]

Thanks. I missed southern shelf bay and some highlands spot. I never checked highlands cuz Already have 'highlands explorer' achievement.
In fact that was gotten by other character long long time ago..anyway finally done it

[DarkynuSan]

i've discovered every place but i still didn't get achievements

[Pedrex]

great

[HolidayFriday]

I read that all "named" areas are necessary for the exploration achievements. Does that mean all of the little areas inside each map, or just the main areas as listed on the maps above?

I'm assuming it's all of the little areas because I've been to everything I see up there, but I still don't have the achievements. I ask because it's quite possible that I hit all the areas, but I did it on different characters.

Hi Echo! Indeed, for some reason the map was not displayed properly. It is fixed now!
