How to unlock the Reporter achievement in Test Drive Unlimited 2 - Definitive Guide

Here are two great videos by RavenTwoFive to help you find the locations of all 40 photo viewpoints.

Be aware that the video does not list weather/time/vehicle conditions. A good tip if you cannot accomplish the task due to one or more of these conditions is to bookmark the location to make it easier to find when you come back.

Dunno why you can no longer edit posts..... However, just done Hawaii, most of them are bloody annoying, alot are time based, with a couple being dependant on Rain.

For Ibiza the photo "Harbor" I think it is called Harbour entrance, the place where you can buy the yacht which is 5 stars cost 5Million. For whatever reason, I go there and the spot where the camera icon should be, is not there. Any ideas on how to fix this?

For me the following map was very helpful: http://www.tdu2life.com/map/ It shows the wrecks and photo locations + some other stuff.

You can enable and disable whatever you want to see yourself.

Edit, thanks to shadow 00 fox for a new working link: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=133374...

For people having trouble with locations with weather (there are 2 in Hawaii that require rain).

Play the game offline then go into your house and look at the weather channel on TV. It tells you the weather for the next 4 hours. If you do not see any rain forecast, exit to the Xbox dash and bump the clock 4 hours ahead. Go back to your game (offline) and check the weather until you see rain. Each in game hour is ~8min real time so you may need to wait until rain hits. Even if it just looks cloudy you may be able to still take the picture if the weather channel forecast rain.

Note that you must have all updates as offline weather was fixed with a patch. You cannot do this online because the servers dictate what the weather will be.

Viewpoints are found as you explore Ibiza and Hawaii (there are 20 on each island) and are are unlocked once you visit the photo studio, which can be found on the map under 'Single Player Challenges'. They are represented by a blue camera symbol on the road once you reach Competition level 7.

You will discover some viewpoints by simply driving around and exploring roads for Level 60, although some will require specific vehicles or times of day to work. If you come across one of those you can mark it on your map under 'My Spots' by pressing on the road and then GPS target. To finish off the rest please see the videos below.

Discovering all viewpoints will contribute 1800 Discovery points towards Level 60.

There are 40 viewpoints altogether. 20 in Ibiza and 20 in Hawaii. Visit the Photo Store to check the book in order to find out what is required in each picture.

In some photos you will be required to be in a certain car, have certain weather or be there at a certain time of day/night or a combination of them all.

For all the Viewpoints in Ibiza, please refer to the following video:


For all the Viewpoints in Hawaii, please refer to the following video:

When you arrive at a given point, a button will appear at the bottom of the screen instead of a map with a picture of a camera, it means you are in the right place. To take a photo, zoom in, zoom out and rotate the camera so that the two scales that appear during shooting fill with green. To find out what time you need to be there for your photo to be counted, go to the photo studio on the map and read there. Certain photos require you to take the photo using some kind of machine.

You can make it easier to find observation platforms even if you have a hint, because... the range of action is quite limited, especially important if you need to take a photo somewhere in the field.

After passing all championships, cups in Ibiza and passing all licenses (C3, C4, B3, B4, A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7) they give you a “hologram”, which makes the search much easier. During freeride, the places where you need to take a photo can be seen from afar; they are displayed as shops or hairdressers in white, only with a camera in the circle. If the task is not available for some reason (the time of day, the weather, the car is not suitable), the camera is crossed out in red, you can mark it with a mark on the map to return later. The mark on the map is placed like this: in map mode (click on “select” while standing on the observation deck) click on (only possible on the road) select “bookmark” (or “delete bookmark” if there is already a mark and the task is completed, you can delete it). You can view and go to your markers in map mode by switching - The rightmost tab is "my bookmarks".
