How to unlock the Up, Up and Away achievement in Mad Max - Definitive Guide

To unlock this achievement all you need to do is press the back button and go to the map.

Hit cn_Y and all the fast travel locations will show up.
There are 3 fast travel types: Strongholds, Death Races which show up as a cup and outposts which show up as a balloon.
All of the outposts will show up as a solid white if it was visited already and a faded white which is noted as not visitied, same as races.

In order for the outpost to be activated as a fast travel location you must ascend in the balloon and the name of the region must pop-up, highlight all locations using your binoculars, not necessary but might as well do it since you'll need it, then close your binoculars.

After you do this on your last outpost achievement will pop.
Looting the outposts is not necessary for this achievement but is for other achievements.

All you need to do is visit each Balloon symbol and use it, however be aware that you will need to collect the Scrap and Relics at each location as they are not shown on the over map as being there.

There are 16 Vantage Outposts found throughout the territories (with the exception of The Dunes) that feature balloons that can be used to scan the surrounding area for points of interest such as: Scarecrow towers, Snipers, Death Races and Camps. Most of these outposts will require you to locate a fuel can and refuel either the balloon or the generator that powers it, while others may have a few enemies to defeat or cables tethering the balloon to the ground that need to be destroyed using the Harpoon. Once you have access to the balloon, enter it using and use to ascend and scan the area. Use to return to the ground.

If you find that you have missed some points of interest the first time you use the balloon, remember that you can return to the outpost again and use the balloon at any time.

There are a total of 16 Vantage Outposts in the game, one in each region. These locations function as the fast travel points around the map, and are also where you can reveal all of the points of interest for that region (camps, scarecrows, snipers, etc.). Because of that, these locations should be your first stop every time you go to a new region. When you arrive at them, make sure to complete any optional objectives (such as collecting scrap, history relics, etc.) while you're there. This is required for other achievements.

The goal at each Vantage Outpost is to get to the hot air balloon and fly it up into the air. Getting to the balloon is typically a simple linear path, usually with a small amount of enemies on the way. Once you get to the balloon, you may be able to hop in and ascend, or you may have another task to complete:

  • The balloon may be tethered down. Locate the cables coming off of it to the ground, and drive your car to them, pulling them free with the harpoon.
  • The balloon may be out of fuel. Most times, there is a fuel can somewhere around the Outpost to use, but one or two don't have this luxury. Make sure you always have a gas can in the back of your car just in case. To refuel the balloon, carry the gas can right up to it.
  • The balloon may already be up in the air when you get to it. If this is the case, you'll need to use the nearby switch to lower it back down. It's possible that the power to the switch will also not be working, requiring you to refuel the generator wired to the switch. Follow the cord to the generator, and bring a gas can to it to fill it up

.Once you actually get in the balloon and ascend to the top (where a cutscene takes over), it will then count towards this achievement. Complete all locations to unlock this achievement.

Note that, while you don't need to actually mark any locations while at the top of the balloon for this achievement, doing so is the only way to get scarecrows, snipers, camps, etc., to be marked on your map, so it's in your best interest to mark all the points of interest you can find while in the balloons.

I spent 1 hour with this. Then I accidentally approached the balloon and saw that it was necessary to refuel it, and not the generator.

On one of the four sides of the ball basket, if you look closely, there is a gas tank (flat). So we fill it up.

In short, there are 4 situations in total for these balls:
1. Everything is fine, everything works - I sat down and flew off into the sunset
2. The ball is far in the Kamchatka region in the air and it must be lowered by pressing the switch (sometimes you need to refuel the generator, this is the one with the funnel, the yellow one)
3. The ball is in place, but it is held by 3 pubic hairs of Alla Pugacheva, your friend Philip and his harpoon will help you with them, you need to unhook them briefly.
4. The balloon is in place, but empty of fuel, you need to refuel the balloon itself, just come up with a canister and pour it. For about 20 minutes I got to the point that the BALL CAN BE FILLED! BALL, KARL!
