Behold... Borderlands 2 Interactive Maps

Prepare to have all the secrets in Borderlands 2 blown wide open as we unveil the Borderlands 2 Interactive Maps. Integrated directly into our growing Borderlands 2 wiki, the interactive maps are broken into the multitude of sub-areas that make up Pandora.

Borderlands 2 Interactive Maps Get!

These maps are called “interactive” for a reason. For one thing, they feature a zoom function, letting you take a closer (or farther) look at a certain location. You can even click and drag the map around to inspect other quadrants.  When you view a map like, say, Sawtooth Cauldron, you’ll notice map markers of various types that reveal the locations of things like Vault Symbols, Lost ECHOs, and many other hidden gems. Clicking on these individual markers will reveal more information in the associated wiki page as well. Whoa, the synergy!

But here’s the even cooler part.

All of the interactive maps can be edited by you, dear reader. Simply right-click on your mouse to add a marker – it’s that simple! In fact, we’ve got the Borderlands 2 Epic Loot Challenge going on right now that encourages you to dig right in and help make our Borderlands 2 the most helpful visual resource for Vault hunters everywhere. We will need all hands on deck to make that happen, and we’ll make it worth your while. Get loot in-game, get loot for real!

For a more detailed breakdown on how to edit the interactive maps, check out this brief tutorial.

Bonus: IGN's interactive maps are optimized for mobile and tablet devices!

We’re quite proud of our interactive maps (check out our Guild Wars 2, Sleeping Dogs, and Skyrim ones, too!), but they’re not perfect yet. We’d love to hear what you think. Let us know in the comments section below your thoughts, suggestions, and general feedback!
