The detailed level maps pinpoint all permanent and quest-related items throughout Pandora. Locate all Treasure Chests, New-U & Catch-A-Ride Stations, and more!

“We enjoyed an unprecedented level of, not just cooperation, but collaboration with the game developers at Gearbox during the creation of the Borderlands guide. This team approach allowed us to provide comprehensive and highly customized content that would have been otherwise impossible, especially on a game this big,” said David Bartley, Senior Development Editor at BradyGames. “From the placement of mission-specific developer tips throughout the book to the breadth of coverage in our ambitious Gun Catalog, which details 400 of the millions of weapons available in the game, the results of this collective effort are evident throughout this 384-page tome.”

The massive Borderlands strategy guide is a must-have for any player taking on Pandora! The game and the guide are available today at retailers nationwide.
