Points of Interest

Aggregate Acquisition

This Hyperion outpost is at the middle of the area. It stands on a cliff above Overlook, and is filled with Hyperion robots and personnel.

The Double Rainbow Easter Egg can be accessed by going past the Constructor and jumping down onto a cliff with a tent before the second pair of Badass Loaders. Either Handsome Jack or Claptrap will make contact, repeating lines from the viral video. Viewing the double rainbow unlocks the "What does it mean?" achievement/trophy.

Blake Bridge

Extraction Point

Frothing Creek Mill

Hyperion Bridge

Hunter's Bane

A large hollow ridden with stalker nests and droppings near Overlook. Henry the Stalker resides here, and was (presumably) the place of death of Taggart.

Isotope Reclamation Tower

The fuse box on top of this tower can be shot from a Winds of the Highlands flag nearby.

Lake Shining Horizons

Lake Shining Horizons is the huge lake on which Opportunity is built. The road leading out to the city elevates into a causeway on large concrete pylons and beneath it lies a beach infested with threshers.

Mercury Induction Center

The electrical field is controlled by a fuse box on top of the Isotope Reclamation Tower.

Old Cranky's Pond

Old Cranky's Pond is a pond with a narrow jetty running out to an abandoned fishing hut. A windsock for Winds of the Highlands is located next to a shack here, and one of Tannis's ECHOs out past the hut.

Overlook

This is a town at the top of a hill with The Holy Spirits bar at the base of the hill. The town has a medications vendor, ammo vendor, and gun vendor. It also has a fast travel station, and a Catch-a-ride station.
