The Anymaker open world is a large map built from several biome types: mountains, plains, forests, shorelines and coasts, abandoned towns, and industrial complexes. Underground military and research complexes (the bunkers) sit beneath this surface and form the game's main story hook, with weather and a day-night cycle active across the entire world. The Anymaker map guide below summarizes what players find in each biome, where enemy activity tends to concentrate, and what tools help with navigation.

Anymaker map surface biomes and locations

BiomeTerrain, weather, build potential

Mountains

Rough terrain, longer routes, exposed to wind and lightning, but good sightlines and hidden bunker approaches.

Plains

Fast driving, moderate visibility, average loot density, and good open areas for base expansion.

Forests

Low visibility, dense foliage, quieter patrols, and useful cover for cautious scavenging runs.

Shorelines and coasts

Ocean access for boats, exposed to weather rolling in from the water, and direct access to marine parts testing.

Industrial complexes and abandoned towns

Highest loot density, highest undead density, and the best places to find bunker entrances.

Towns, patrols, and NPCs

Abandoned towns have been expanded with roaming NPC survivors who follow roads and patrol built-up areas. Larger patrols in bigger settlements mean loud fights are common here, and gunshots at longer range pull in extra NPCs from neighboring streets. Suppressed firearms and melee stay effective; open firearms only fit when the goal is to clear the area. Industrial complexes carry the same density with more vertical terrain and bunker connections.

Underground bunkers on the surface

A map's surface hides underground military and research complexes below it. These bunkers are the main story hook and the source of the loot tier progression. Finding bunker entrances is one of the main reasons to carry a direction finder while exploring — the Anymaker bunker guide covers what finishing one unlocks.

Tools for navigation

Direction finders require frequency cartridges to locate valuable points of interest, including bunker entrances and other rare sites. Pair a direction finder with the weather forecast (wind, rain, fog) and the day-night cycle to plan cross-biome runs that avoid the worst storms. Detailed coordinates, named map regions, and a step-by-step route between zones are not part of the early-access map data the developer has published, so players should expect more surface locations to be added during Early Access rather than rely on a fixed atlas.
