Two hidden messages have been found which might reveal details about Borderlands 3’s story. Morse code hidden inside the game’s new devoted Twitch channel was found final week, and appears to pose two necessary questions.
The new Borderlands Twitch channel was arrange final week, and up to now has broadcast a pair of Borderlands 2 streams from streamer Mitsu. When the stream is offline, it exhibits the religiously-motivated weapons and roses picture from the Borderlands 3 cover art – however there’s a key distinction between this model of that picture and those we’ve seen earlier than.
Morse code may be seen working vertically down the display screen on both aspect of the central determine. First noticed by YouTuber Joltzdude139 (whose video on the matter you may try under), when translated, these codes pose two questions: “Where is the primary vault hunter?’ and ‘Who is the Destroyer?’. The first of these is fairly difficult, so earlier than I deal with that one, I’m going to take a quick run on the second query that the picture poses.
If you recall the unique Borderlands, you’ll keep in mind that the Destroyer was the game’s remaining boss. It was one thing of an eldritch horror, an enormous central eye surrounded by a mass of tentacles. To be fairly trustworthy, I’ve put a lot of that remaining combat out of my thoughts, however a fast recap will inform you that the Destroyer was imprisoned within the Vault by former civilization the Eridians, 1000’s of years earlier than the occasions of the primary game.
Plenty of individuals assist you entry and finally kill the Destroyer in Borderlands 1, however the query of who the ultimate boss truly is would seem to recommend that the monster isn’t simply the Lovecraftian monstrosity it initially appeared to be. It’s attention-grabbing to notice, in that case, that Borderlands 1 Remastered provides a redesigned model of that remaining combat, which might result in the Destroyer’s reappearance within the new game.
The first query is much less clear-cut, however I’ve uncovered a fan idea on Reddit that I fairly like. The first vault hunter might have change into the Destroyer after stumbling throughout the unimaginable energy talked about within the legends of the vault. The Destroyer is clearly an extremely highly effective creature, so whereas there’s nothing concrete, I’m content material for this to be my head-canon for the following few months.

All that is simply hypothesis, after all, and we’re not going to search out out for positive till the Borderlands 3 release date on September 13. That stated, Gearbox has already made it clear that it enjoys an excellent easter egg – the Borderlands 3 Mask of Mayhem trailer additionally featured a morse code message telling gamers to ‘count the sirens’, so eagle-eyed followers are positive to be searching for extra hidden messages over the following few months.
