Hidden message in Borderlands 3 art teases "the first vault hunter" and the return of a notorious boss

The original Borderlands ended on a low note: players finally reached the fabled Vault only to find an abrupt and repetitive boss fight with a big-ol' tentacle monster called the Destroyer. As a result, the Destroyer has become a bit of a running gag in the series. According to a newly discovered teaser, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Borderlands 3 will keep that gag goi𒀰ng - and potentially answer some big questions about the Borderlands universe in the process. 

As YouTuber discovered, the version of the Borderlands 3 box art which Gearbox has been using as the background of contains a hidden message not seen in the original version. Two lines of morse code - and yes, Gearbox does seem to have 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:a thing for morse code secrets - are printed on either side of the art's central Psycho. Joltzdude139 (and other Borderla💛nds sleuths) decoded these messages and found that they ask two questions: "Where is the first vault hunter?" and "Who is the Destroyer?"  

, so I never thought to ask who it is. But if it is a who as this question suggests, it is rather suspect that the other hidden message mentions "the first vault hunter.🥂"🐻 

Vault hunting is already an established profession at the start of the original Borderlands, so obviously somebody came before Lilith and the gang. Will Borderlands 3 tell us who that was? Will it tell us that the first vault hunter somehow became the Destroyer? Because♔ that's all I can think of, and that would be a very Borderlands-brand twist. 

No tentacles, sorry, but our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Borderlands 3 trailer breakdown is filled with other secrets and clues.
