Map of Badlands

Letters in italics refer to marked spots on the map. Sector, thing, and linedef numbers in boldface are secrets which count toward the end-of-level tally.

Secrets

1. At the south town, head to the east side, then towards the clotheslines to the west. Enter the north building, climb the steps, and head to the north rooftop. Crouch and enter the room to the west to get armor scraps and junk. (sector 505)
2. After collecting the journal entries in the map, head for the radioactive lake and climb to the northeast and head to the rock with an S. Head past it into the cave and out into the outside area to get shotgun shells and a videogame cartridge. (sector 3445)
3. At Absolute Speedy Fix, get to the roof using your ride and a door and enter the window to get junk and a lazer gun. (sector 4555)
4. Play in the race in town and get first place. Head to the counter and get your winnings north of the counter, which has food, junk, and a golden crowbar skin. (sector 4632)

Inspiration and development

The town of Prosperity and surrounding area is loosely based on the real world Big Creek Water Reclamation Facility. An early version of the map included a neighbouring ghost town which could also be explored, but this section was moved to MAP19 instead and replaced with the entrance to the nuclear plant.
