Borderlands 4 All Activity Locations

There are 53 Activity Locations in Borderlands 4 (9 Order Silos, 14 Safehouses, 11 Ancient Crawlers, 7 Abandoned Auger Mines, 6 Order Bunkers, 6 Ripper Drill Sites). Completing all Activities unlocks the “Ruler of Everything” trophy & achievement.

None of the activities are missable. You can still do all of them after the story in free-roam. Some areas require story progress to become accessible, after the story you can reach all of them. Some activity types also require story progress and aren’t available from the start.

On the map they are indicated by “?” question marks. When you get close to them their icon type is revealed. When you are within their area, you get an objective in the top left corner that shows you what do you and you can press D-Pad Up (Z on PC) to have a line guide to the objective.

The best approach is to unlock the Order Silos and Safehouses while unfogging the map, these act as fast travel points. Then clean up the other activities after the story as they require defeating enemies and bosses which are a higher level.

This page lists all of them by area in the order they are closest together.

Idolator’s Noose (6 Activities)

As soon as you reach this area turn right to find the datapad on a bed under a hut. After picking it up, the door to the main building in the middle will open.

Drop down the cliffs behind the safehouse to find the datapad. The console is in the plaza where all the enemies are, not in the building where the safehouse icon is. From where you entered the plaza it’s on the left (west). Look on the HUD where the vending machine icons appear, that’s the building where you find the console. Tracking this location on the map gives a confusing location line, so ignore that.

You can mark it on the map and drive along the location line, it’s a long way around the area. Then on the upper level you will see a grapple point where you can pull yourself up. Jump over the platforms (don’t fall down) and go to the top. The datapad is on a platform at the top, to the back left of the safehouse (north corner). The console is also at the top near the datapad, on the front side of the safehouse, outside the safehouse, slightly south-west of the vending machines.

Approach the safehouse from the south. The safehouse will be locked. There are two towers in front of the safehouse. When facing the safehouse look left (west) and climb up that tower by using the grappling point. Scan with to see climbing points and walls in green. From there you must glide over to the second tower, on top of it you find the datapad. This opens the door on the rooftop of the safehouse.

Heart of the Mountain (1 Activities)

#40 – Order Bunker: Craven’s Nook

The Low Leys (4 Activities)

#41 – Order Bunker: The Wireworks

#42 – Ancient Crawler: Eureka Stane

#43 – Order Silo: Deathright

This silo can be a bit confusing. The in-game map icon is at the wrong location, pointing to the silo that releases the balloon, rather than the console you must activate. Marking the map icon will lead to the wrong spot. The console is actually on the mountain to the north of where the map icon is. From the silo icon, go around the mountainside to the west until you reach a climbable wall. Climb up and jump over the cliffs to the console at the end of the mountain. The second image below outlines the correct path in red, with the yellow character arrow being the starting point and the red circle being the endpoint where you activate the console.

#44 – Ancient Crawler: Forgotten Cornerstone

Windspear (1 Activities)

#45 – Safehouse: The Nightcap

This safehouse is in a little cave. You find the entrance slightly north of the safehouse icon on the map. Inside the cave, climb up the wall on the left (scan with to mark it green). While on the wall, turn around and glide over to another platform, the datapad is there. Pick it up to open the door to the safehouse at the end of the cave. The console is in the same room as the vending machines, at the end of the safehouse.

Stoneblood Forest (3 Activities)

#46 – Safehouse: Snowy Wells

This safehouse is on top of a mountain. To reach the datapad you must climb onto the roof of the safehouse. Then use the grappling hooks to jump over the cliffs.

#50 – Abandoned Auger Mine: The Toil of Spoiling Vis

This one is a bit tricky to locate as there’s no navigation line available for it. The entrance is found through an open doorway 200 meters south-east of the activity icon on the map. Slightly south-west of the safehouse. Go around the edge of the walls until you see an open doorway in one of the walls.
