DrBloodmoney Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Liking this game for the most part, but, man, I feel like I spend 70% of my time trying to figure out how to get somewhere on the damn map... Is it just me? Am I missing something? Every time I need to backtrack anywhere, I feel like I run in circles trying to work out how I got there the first time, and end up back where I started! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt this way pretty much the whole game as well the map is just bad and often doesn't do much. I found if I died after 20-30 minutes from a check point I would forget where I went and have to look for where I was going again which got me pretty irritated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrimeTime101 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 You're not the only one. I spent easily 30-45 minutes trying to find one place in the 2nd area. I pretty much deciphered that when I saw a bunch of enemies, that was a sign that I was going in the right direction. At least I think so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gameoverjelly Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Absolutely in the same boat. So much so that I'm forgoing side missions because I don't know how to get to their locations. Borderlands 3 maps can be a mess but at least it's 3D and I can see how to get somewhere, unlike Control. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emailking Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 I'd be ok with the maps if they had a waypoint finder for your selected objective. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoom in/out would help too. For such a visually intriguing game they really dropped the ball on the map. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeero7uk Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Why I dropped this game. Having to figure out where to go and end up just running in circles because of the clumsy map ruined the game for me. And those damn loading times every time you die! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post gernboes Posted October 7, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2019 I found Navigation a lot easier with the signs in the game world, you dont even need to look at the map in my opinion. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleexie Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 It's not that hard getting around. When you know the main location of your objective and then the more specified area it's really easy. Look at the signs on the walls or above doors. Also the map isn't that bad tbh. I don't mind a game were it's not holding your hand all the way through every step. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakebit10 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 This has been me also. Sometimes I felt like I am running in circles. Like others have mentioned, I have done better just using the signs on the wall. The map is horrible in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yowzagabowza Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Well, whenever this new patch comes out they have promised an improved map, so here's hoping because it was very unintuitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZitMeatloaf Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 The map isn't great, but it's not that bad. My method of getting around was pretty simple: 1. Choose fast travel point reasonably close to intended destination. 2. Follow green signs to reach destination. 3. Arrive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigh7s7ein Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I'm just starting the game and it's quite confusing at times, it definitely could use some waypoint markers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferginator88 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Navigation is Control's biggest (and perhaps only) flaw. The map is pretty useless, and can sometimes take forever to load. There are no waypoints to guide you and it is very easy to get turned around or go the wrong way. There are several spots in the game where I was simply running in circles, trying to find the correct path/corridor to progress. The best tools to navigate are with the quest locations and the in game signage, those are actual somewhat useful. Great game, just terrible map system.

BifeSTER Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) I personally don't mind since it makes exploration a bit more immersive. If I get lost, I just return to a main hub and follow the signs. After a while you become familiar with the layout of the areas, and start exploring off the beaten path. I prefer this kind of exploration as opposed to mindlessly following markers or compasses. Edited May 31, 2020 by BifeSTER 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meecegoatsalot Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I've basically been using the map for a vague sense of direction but then following the signs in game to find where to go. It works pretty well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deutschZuid Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I struggled in the beginning but then I started looking at signposts in the game and using the map as an approximate guide. Got used to it after a bit. it's not a game where everything's handed to you on a plate. You will need to use your smarts a bit to find your way around. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindtrash_USA Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I have "enjoyed" trying to find where to go, because, to me, resembles to when one is actually trying to find a place Looking at the signs at the walls is really helpful. Is helpful the Sector/Sub Sector text you see at the upper left. If the game wants you to go to a new Sector, for example Containment, you can guess it is a new sector because if it won't Containment should be after the Sector/Containment. So, when you see this, you guess you have to go to the main elevator to pick the new sector. Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
