Traveler's Glitch: Exploring The World's Oddities

The World Traveler achievement is associated with several video games, including Borderlands 2, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, and No Man's Sky. Players have reported glitches with this achievement, where they have completed the necessary tasks but have not received the achievement. For example, in Borderlands 2, players have reported not receiving the achievement even after completing all explorer achievements, side quests, and visiting miscellaneous places.

Borderlands 2 World Traveler achievement not unlocking

There are several reasons why the World Traveler achievement in Borderlands 2 may not be unlocking. Firstly, there are some locations that are not available via fast travel, and some that are not marked as foggy on the map, but are still required to be visited for the achievement. Additionally, some players have reported that returning to certain locations, such as Friendship Gulag, even though they had already been discovered, caused the trophy to unlock. It is also important to note that the World Explorer achievement only requires the exploration of the main game and not the DLCs.

If you are still having issues with the achievement not unlocking, it may be helpful to refer to a list of all locations and manually check off each one as you visit them. This can help ensure that no areas are missed or forgotten. It may also be worth restarting the game or performing a fresh install to see if that resolves any potential glitches preventing the achievement from unlocking.

If none of these suggestions work, it may be a good idea to contact the game developers or the platform's support team to report the issue and request further assistance.

No Man's Sky First Traveller bug

The First Traveller is a story mission in No Man's Sky, which is the fifth story mission of the Artemis Path. Players have reported a bug in this mission where the quest marker disappears, hindering progress. This bug occurs when players fly away from the crashed freighter site without dropping a waypoint to mark its location.

There are two methods to fix this bug and get the quest marker back. The first method involves building a base, setting down a teleporter, and warping through multiple systems in one direction. Eventually, you will be far enough away from the quest marker that it will reappear, and you can then teleport back to the quest's location.

The second method requires another player's base in your multiplayer game. You can build a teleporter and warp to the other player's base. Before warping, delete the quest logs for The First Traveller questline. Once you arrive at the other player's base, you can restart the quest from your inventory, and the quest marker will be added to your galaxy map.

Another bug that players have encountered during The First Traveller mission is the absence of a quest marker for Artemis's system, which instead leads players to their home base. A fix for this bug involves finding a wormhole and travelling through it or going as far away as possible. Then, in the mission log, if the mission says "too far away," you can restart the mission by right-clicking on it. After that, go to a space station, teleport to your base, and scan your planet for the holoterminus.

Additionally, if you are playing in VR and encounter a bug where the mission icon in the teleporter takes you back to your base instead of Artemis, a suggested solution is to go into space and scan. This action has been reported to resolve many mission issues.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War World Traveler glitch

The World Traveler glitch in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is a bug that causes players to become invisible to each other. This glitch is not specific to any player and can happen to anyone in the lobby. It renders players invisible except for the neon camo equipped to their weaponry. This glitch is persistent and cannot be fixed by dying and respawning.

• Airstrike Scorestreak Glitch: When a player calls for an airstrike, the aircraft zooms through objects and doesn't have a proper hitbox, making the aerial assault ineffective.
• Falling With Style Glitch: When a player jumps from a plane, they can land on a ladder, tricking the game into thinking they are still falling, and allowing them to manipulate their movement by jumping in certain directions.
• Stuck in the Rover Glitch: During Outbreak missions, if a player is grabbed by the Mimic miniboss's grab attack while on the opposite side of the rover, they will get pulled into the vehicle and get stuck, unable to exit despite being able to shoot through the invisible walls.
• Head in One's Hands Glitch: Players can spontaneously acquire a zombie's severed head in their hands, even when no enemies are around.
• Downed But Not Out Glitch: On rare occasions, when a player gets downed, their allies will not be able to revive them, and they will be trapped in the downed state for the rest of the mission.
• Stuck in the Floor Glitch: Players can get stuck in random parts of the ground that should be solid, but they can still move around and shoot effectively while bound to the ground.
• Accidental Infiltration Glitch: Players can accidentally slip into visual-only buildings by hugging a wall for cover. Sometimes, the floors of these buildings have hitboxes, allowing players to explore the insides.
• Dead Body Stretching Glitch: When a player takes out an enemy while they are sitting, the corpse can get lodged in the chair and elongate horribly, especially with stealth melee kills.
• Texture Glitch: On occasion, the textures of an area won't load properly, turning the inside of a store into a chaotic disco or vibrant nightclub.

Borderlands 2 World Traveler quest issues

There are several known issues with the World Traveler quest in Borderlands 2. Players have reported that even after completing all the explorer achievements, side quests, and visiting miscellaneous places, they do not receive the achievement.

Some players have suggested that this may be due to missing certain named spots on the maps that are not part of other achievements or visited by any missions. These spots can be easily missed as they don't appear as missing on the map screen. For example, a camp site in the Sawtooth Cauldron that can be reached by jumping off the tower in a certain direction, and an area in the Southern Shelf Bay that doesn't have any quests associated with it.

In some cases, the issue may be related to playing in co-op mode, where the achievement may not be awarded to the second player. Additionally, there have been reports of the achievement not popping up even after meeting all the requirements, which may be a result of a genuine bug in the game.

To troubleshoot this issue, players can try to cross-reference their progress with online guides and videos that list the commonly missed locations for the World Traveler quest. It is also recommended to double-check the maps for any blank spots, especially in areas such as Three Horns Valley, Caustic Cavern, and the Highlands.

No Man's Sky: Artemis questline bug

The Artemis questline in No Man's Sky has been reported to be bugged in several instances. One such instance is where the player has given Artemis the Mind Arc, and needs to use the Holo Terminus to talk to Null. The marker is where Null would stand instead of the console of the Terminus, and the only option is to view previous logs. A workaround for this bug is to join a multiplayer game and continue the quest. Although the bug will still be present, upon returning to the normal game with the same save, the quest will warn that it is in another system and ask to restart this part of the quest, allowing the player to use the Holo Terminus correctly.

Another bug occurs when the player is unable to use the Holo Terminus after completing the triangulation quest. The mission marker shows the correct Holo Terminus to use, but it is inaccessible, being located inside a mountain. A solution to this is to unselect the mission and warp far away, causing the mission to reset to a new Holo Terminus in the new area.

A further bug occurs when the player shoots down the facility door with their ship instead of the bolt caster, causing the mission to not clear, even upon reloading the game. A solution to this is to press R3 to restart the mission, although it is unclear if this restarts the whole quest line or just the current step.

The Artemis questline can also bug the Base Specialist questline, with the Artemis quest disappearing before the "Mind Arc" and the Armorer not giving any quests. This can be fixed by locating and backing up the save file, and then using the NMS Save Editor from GitHub to edit the Raw JSON file.

Additionally, the Mission Board tutorial quest has been reported to bug, with the game picking a star system with a mostly wrecked Space Station, and the quest pointing to a bad Space Station. This can be fixed by warping to another system and visiting a Mission Board there.
