“When you choose the Explorer perk, every location in the world is revealed on your map. So get out there and explore!”— In-game description
Explorer is a perk in Fallout: New Vegas.
Effects[]
Taking this perk automatically reveals every unvisited location on the map.
Interactions that require the Explorer perk[]
During The Launch, when talking about the threat of the tunnelers, the Courier can discuss with Ulysses about traveling to Denver in Legion territory.[1]
Notes[]
- This perk only reveals the locations, similar to when a character marks them on the Pip-Boy. They still have to be traveled to on foot to enable fast travel and to count towards the Walker of the Mojave/Master of the Mojave achievements.
- The Collector's Edition guide erroneously claims that this perk allows fast traveling to all the locations.
- This perk will not reveal markers that do not exist prior to certain scripted events. For example, Ranger Morales' corpse will only be marked upon starting A Final Plan for Esteban.
- Locations in add-ons will be revealed by this perk, but only if it was taken after the add-on was installed. If the add-on is installed after this perk is taken, those locations remain hidden.
- The two locations added to the main map by the Lonesome Road add-on, namely the Long 15 and Dry Wells, both appear when this perk is taken. However, they are only accessible depending on the ending choices taken in the add-on.
Bugs[]
Sometimes, when you take the perk, no location will be revealed.[verified][clarification needed]- An undiscovered Harper's Shack map marker may not appear after taking this perk.[verification overdue]
- You can level up high enough to choose the Explorer perk before leaving Goodsprings for the first time by using the infinite XP exploit with Doc Mitchell or Chet. Then, when leaving the town, you can rebuild your character. The Explorer perk won't be available because you've already taken it, however, all the markers will remain on your map. You can then choose any perk instead of having to choose the Explorer perk.[verified]

The Courier: "[Explorer] You've been to Denver? That's Legion territory."
Ulysses: "Mojave and the Divide aren't the only places I've walked. Walked the East too, before the Bull came. Then... much like the Mojave before the Bear... tribes, towns, clutching to life. Bull did a better job."
