A secret Morse code for Borderlands 3 has been deciphered. This raises some questions about the lore and promises the return of an old enemy.
Since the announcement of Borderlands 3, fans have been eager for fresh information. Gearbox is skilled at hiding small messages and details in various images that already provide early hints. Now a Morse code has been found that raises two questions and allows for new speculation about the story.
Where was the code found? On the Borderlands Twitch channel, an offline still image is displayed whenever there is no stream. This is the cover artwork for Borderlands 3 – at least at first glance. Upon closer inspection, one can see some darkened pixel lines on the left and right edges. These form a Morse code that correctly decodes into two questions. The YouTuber Joltzdude139 was the first to discover this.
What does the code say? Those who read the two short sentences will get these two questions:
- “Where is the first Vault Hunter?” – Where is the first Vault Hunter?
- “Who is the Destroyer?” – Who is the Destroyer?
Who the first Vault Hunter was is still not known. The heroes from Borderlands 1 are definitely not the first. The Destroyer, on the other hand, is the final boss from Borderlands 1, who resides in the Vault. He is a tentacled monster that was imprisoned in the Vault. In Borderlands The Pre-Sequel, Jack manages to obtain the Eye of the Destroyer and forge it into a weapon.
Speculations about the “Children of the Vault”: These two sentences give rise to a lot of speculation. Especially in connection with the “Children of the Vault,” who are the antagonists in Borderlands 3. Their promotional posters state “Honor the Father.” If these “Children of the Vault” are speaking of a father, then it could very well be the Destroyer or whatever the Destroyer once was.
We are sure to learn more about the story at the beginning of May, as Gearbox intends to reveal more of the gameplay then. One will surely be able to pick up some bits of information about the story.
