The Borderlands Iceberg Explained: Total INSANITY

hello gamers epic here and in this video today we're going to be doing something that i've never done before so rightfully so this should be a massive show today we're going to be taking a look at the borderlands iceberg and try our best to break it down as good as we possibly can i composed this iceberg because i haven't really seen anyone do an iceberg on this scale for borderlands and there is definitely a lot of crazy that people forgot about or some people just like might know about but it's not as big as they might think but beforehand let's break down just what is an iceberg and talk about how we're going to be digesting owls an iceberg list is essentially a tier list of knowledge within the community about events or myths and rumors which happened at some point which people may or may not know about so for example something lesser known like nine toes who has three balls should be at the top of the iceberg because many people know about it but something like tina b and krieg's dad should wait no something like krieg being tina's dad might be a little bit below the iceberg we're gonna be doing our iceberg on a severity scale starting off at normal vault hunter mode and then going all the way up to op100 yes that's right boys we're bringing back op levels for this one so strap in because boy is this going to be messy and it's also probably going to be the longest video i've ever done as well so strap in do some farming listen along it's going to be like a like a big old podcast we're doing it here we go so starting off in normal vault hunter mode this is the least severe of the iceberg this is stuff that pretty much everyone knows about and we're going to start off with sledge's shotgun launching i'm sure everyone knows what this is it's where you take the sledge's shotgun from vr1 and sometimes bl2 and then you get your friends to jump you'd aim at them bang bang bang and they'd go flying just they're just a pretty nice wholesome memory i'm sure everyone's done this with their friends you've all argued who's getting launched you've all done the one two three jump and then what i'm just straight to uranus that's it so i thought we'd open the list off with something as simple as this ledger shotgun launch i thought it was pretty cool holy there's a lot here i need to go quick okay next up moxie's panties don't lie to me little kumas every single one of you who have played borderlands 2 has looked at moxie's panties i'm not spending long on this one and honestly i didn't at the time either so we're just going to leave it at that moxie's panties we all know what it is it was a glitch let's move on we mentioned it at the start of the video nine toes it's a bandit that has three balls and and spikes for nipples why am i not surprised this this is this is moving on the evil smasher glitch i did consider putting this one on the tip of the iceberg however i'm pretty sure due to how mainstream it went on youtube everyone really knows what the evil smasher glitch was in a nutshell there was a glitch with a unique gun called the evil smasher in borderlands 2 where you could stack damage on it a bunch of times to make yourself do a ton of damage and gearbox eventually patched it which led to me trying it for hours on end with no results so i cried after that but the evil smasher glitch is a part of borderlands history and i'm sure a lot of people remember as well next up is the crawl edge glitch i'm sure everyone again knows about this it is one of the most iconic glitches in borderlands history it still works today it's the only way to kill crawl because craw is a terrible boss and you cannot fight me on that reddit just another really wholesome memory don't worry it's gonna get a lot shittier later on but for now just just wholesome memories speaking of which tk baja are dying this one honestly should probably go lower down the list tk baja has died more times in this franchise than i can recall i don't know how he keeps coming back from the dead he dies in the most peculiar ways and somehow still keeps coming back as a zombie for brains it would not surprise me if he came back in borderlands 4 tk baja dying i honestly should be at the tip of the iceberg next up we got the b conference score another memory from the opening of borderlands 2 here b conference call is your wife leaving you b conference call homeless need a house b conference call can't make million dollars well you can make it in 10 minutes with the b conference call unsurprisingly this also got patched relatively fast into the life cycle of bl2 but yeah no it is still absolutely cracked today now something as well which i consider at the tip of the iceberg but i'm going to leave it in the sky is hybrids people know what hybrids are from borderlands 1 they were a glitch in which two weapons could mesh together but it resulted in some of the most fun and unique farming ever and the guns that you got dropped as hybrids were also super super cool so yeah hybrids pretty cool two more items in the sky we're gonna save the best for last but instead for now we're gonna talk about pre-sequel bad this is in the sky because everyone thinks it i don't know why i'm gonna shameless self promo go and check my video out i've got a video talking about the pre-sequel and why i think it was so hated in a nutshell tldr it did not deserve the hate it got pre-sequel is a banger of the game and if you disagree then you can honestly kiss my but next up we've got the porcelain pipe bomb every everyone who has played borderlands 3 at launch knows what the porcelain pipe bomb is this grenade was better than half of the legendaries at launch and probably if it was still around would be better than half of the legendaries we've got today an absolutely broken grenade i am not afraid to admit that i abused it come at me take two i'm here baby the porcelain pipe bomb was actually broken like realistically this thing was glitched and they fixed it relatively quick which was obviously a good thing although i remember a few people dropping the game when that happened so uh yeah but that does it with the top of the iceberg we're now moving down into tvh m that's right gamers tv hm it's got a use and boy is there some things to break down in here we've got a little some moments here from the community and and again also some some moments from other games that you might not know about and i think we're going to start off left to right here with slot machines are rigged that's right gamers this started as a a theory in borderlands 2 that moxie's slot machines were actually rigged and the more money you gave her the better your chances would be to get a legendary from her slot machines this i don't know whether or not is true but what we do know from borderlands 3 is that just by moxie slapping the machine with her ass she can make you get iridium i have no idea maybe she's a meridian maybe she's one of randy pitchford's entourage hookah who knows how to do magic i don't know but apparently moxie's arse possesses magical powers which can give you iridium next up is white pearlescence that's right that shiny cyan beam that kind of teal-ish color you remember for pearlescence actually used to be a white beam but in case it wasn't already obvious yes pearlescence actually started out as a bug and one actually like something which was intended from the start next up on the iceberg we've got flesh stick the guest of honor again another thing that i'm sure a lot of you you absolute filthy farmers know about from borderlands 2 rest in peace to homie flesh dick the guest of honor absolutely got farmed to death i i there was not a single one of you who played borderlands 2 who did not abuse flesh dick the guest of honor can we get some f's in the chat for the homie flesh stick i want to see it please next up this one is uh accident did accident did prawn that axton did prawn that's that's what it says on the iceberg accident you know what i mean you know what i mean don't make me explain it it's confirmed it's canon axton is a prawn star and and i i uh but slams wow this came out of nowhere out of all of the mechanics which could have been done on the moon within the pre-sequel gearbox said butt slams that's their word that's the name of it but slams it's no secret that the borderlands franchise has a history of poop jokes and i guess butt slams ties into that since there is literally an oz kit which makes a fart noise when you slam and no i'm not playing the clip you can dislike the video if you want moving down the list we've got the catapult technical is faster than eraser in borderlands 2. i never knew this this came as a complete surprise but apparently this is true if you choose the catapult technical in borderlands 2 you will move faster than you will in a racer i had no idea about this i should probably put it lower but it's just not that important of a fact and i'm sure no one's gonna really care about it that much anyway the minecraft easter egg yes they did it too they they they did a minecraft easter egg and actually this is really cool i got to say the minecraft easter egg is the wackiest but simultaneously the coolest easter egg that i think they've ever had in borderlands and if you haven't checked it out you definitely should i thought the minecraft easter egg was pretty damn impressive moving down we got the mario easter egg speaking of absolutely impressive easter eggs in the pre-sequel there is a secret area you can go to which is taken straight out of a level from mario i mean it looks exactly like a mario level maybe one that you'd find on the dark web i another thing here at the tip of the iceberg is red rarity this was gonna be below the the the tip it was gonna be in uvhm but actually a lot of people know what red rarity is surprisingly in borderlands one amongst the plethora of modded items and guns and rarities there was the red rarity this thing has never actually returned in borderlands unless you want to count health but yes there was a red rarity i don't know much about it i tried doing some research i couldn't find much on it if you know anything interesting about the red rarity feel free to let me know in the comment section down below but red rarity definitely a classic all the og's stand up hand on the heart i know you remember the red rarity something you might also remember is the bl 1 dev chest apparently in one of the rust commons areas there was a red chest in borderlands one which you could open and have a higher chance of getting really good loot from i could not for the life of me tell you exactly where this chest is although i do think i remember where it might be but yes this one is quite an old one i didn't want to put it too far under the iceberg because it's not all that important but if you remember the bl 1 def chest be sure to let me know coming up next on the list is a more community moment i guess you could say with borderlands 3 but i put it on the list because i'm sure a lot of you are going to remember it it's the recursion matter the recursion meta dominated bl3 for so long that it became actually not fun i'm glad moxie made a lot of subs off of it but the the recursion meta was not fun it dominated every build there was not a single build without a recursion in i hate the recursion because of the recursion meta so i i wanted to put it on here just to address that the recursion meta was a thing and it was it was miserable however slightly less miserable is tennis on the fish this is at the tip of the iceberg because again i'm sure a lot of people know about this there is a tennis on a fish easter egg in pretty much every single borderlands game i don't know why they're honestly kind of boring i remember being 10 years old looking at the first one in br1 and i i just thought wow this is this is boring but hey there's been one in every single board lens game since and uh i guess they're pretty funny yeah two more items in tvh m and the next one is another community moment garwood flies with the pestilence i'm not sure how many people are going to remember this but long story short youtuber and streamer garwood he's a speedrunner within borderlands 3 he he took a gun called the pestilence and he flew with it like genuinely took a pistol and was able to fly and boy did he ever fly he flew so far that he was able to fly straight into the air slam down and kill captain trump from the start of athens to the end of athens this was literally history making no one had ever done this in bl3 before and it was actually wild it was a huge thing and i wanted to put it on here to give it the respect it deserves so yes guard flies with a pestilence and finally for tvhm we've got the one and only the legendary 94 sham i'm sure this one needs no explanation a lot of people know what the 94 cham is but for those who don't tldr it is a shield which is already extremely rare from the bunker and when it drops it has an absorb chance to to go anywhere from one percent up to 94 which is the highest percent you can get legitimately and in a nutshell the 94 sham is one of the rarest items in borderlands history and it is notoriously a pain to farm because bunker sucks good luck farming a 94 sham without having bore on zero all right little bastards we've made it to uvhm this is where stuff is gonna start getting really sticky so i want you to prepare yourselves because this is where we're gonna start dragging the video out to get more ad revenue number one glitching queen electric chair oh boy that needs rewording i'm sure when you hear the words glitching queen electric chair so many things are flying through your mind but i'm gonna stop you dead in your tracks and let you know that the glitch and queen electric chair is not what you think it is but rather it's a theory that was started by youtuber glitching queen i'm sure you've all heard of our massive inspiration to me glitching queen if you do want to get in contact when the fight for lilith dlc came out for borderlands 2 just shy of borderlands 3's release there was a new rarity called effervescent and amongst those effervescent weapons was a rocket launcher called the world burn youtuber glitching queen claimed that by using the world burn to wreck your anus oh god jesus you could use the worldburn rocket launcher to kill uranus which was a bot within the dlc and if you killed this boss with the the world band rocket launcher you would have an increased chance to get the electric chair effervescent grenade long story short this turned out to be completely false and as a result a lot of people bashed glitching queen for it so uh f's in the chat next up is the 100 iridium from tennis locker i do want to say that i was a believer of this for the longest of time and i would not like to be cyber bullied for it in the comment section but this theory goes that within the crimson raiders hq and sanctuary and borderlands 2 you can get a guaranteed piece of iridium from the lockers within tanis little enclosure within the building and while this is confirmed to be not true oh my god did i believe this for so long f's in the chat for your boy mr nng continuing on with the wacky theories this one's gonna be a tough one to swallow for a lot of people krieg is tina's father that's right the infamous krieg is tina's father it's higher up on the iceberg because a lot of people know about this because no one stopped talking about it for years so yes we're talking about it i know krieg is not tina's father or so i don't believe anyway i don't think it's ever been confirmed i'm pretty sure they actually confirmed that it wasn't true krieg it's not tiny tina's father moving on this is one that i'm sure a lot of people probably will or will not know about this is the vip service it was a service launch through the borderlands website just before borderlands 3 launched in which you could watch ads trailers share posts on twitter and in return you would get vip points on the boardlands website you could then use these points to purchase new heads when both lens 3 eventually came out guns skins desktop backgrounds all of that stuff it was actually really really cool i don't know why they shut it down but they did lo and behold shut it down and i think that is a huge l for them to take next up we've got gearbox buffs and nerfs specifically the ones pertaining to borderlands 3 because oh my god are they wacky and i'm sure a lot of you are watching this iceberg and thinking wow epic is talking a lot about community moments and not just about myths and conspiracies within the borderlands community well let me tell you something my friend there is no bigger conspiracy than the way gearbox buffs and nerfs weapons within borderlands 3. their method for buffing and nerfing things within borderlands 3 is so incredibly peculiar it is actually impossible to decipher it they will give one of the worst guns in the game a 5 bath but then they'll give like one of the best guns in the game a one thousand percent buff or they'll give one of the most broken items a one percent enough and give one of the the worst items a one thousand percent enough when they didn't even need nothing this one is definitely going to ring more bells with people who actively play borderlands 3 and keep up to date with the hot fixes so i do understand if you don't and you don't understand why this is on here but for those who know about it we'll understand why it's on the list gearbox buffs and nars is the most peculiar ever and i can't believe how it's done i don't even think we know why they do it but moving on with the list is rose's sword from the dlc3 bounty of blood within borderlands 3. long story short the main antagonist of the dlc rose has a really really cool sword which players found out you can actually mod into the game and equip and then use it against enemies and while the sword doesn't actually have a model that you can use or see in game you can sit there and statically swing this at enemies and again you won't see it but it will damage them which led people to believe that at one point we might see a sword melee weapon within borderlands 3 but sadly i don't think that's the case i think this is just an asset that's left behind so they can give it to rose so that she can use it i'm really sorry boys but i don't think we're ever getting roses sword inside of borderlands 3. next up we've got tiny tina's lazy eye for those of you who don't know popular character within the borderlands franchise tiny tina has a glitch where occasionally when looking at her her right eye will slide off to the right in a really weird pose and then it will go back to normal if you don't know this is actually a programming bug but they found it funny and decided to leave it in the game i put it on here because it is something which is cool it's something that shocked the community when they first found out about it but yeah it's just a programming bug she's not a cyborg she's not a reptile she's she's not a reptilian so don't worry but yes tiny tina's lazy eye is just a programming bug but it's on here nonetheless next up we've got the guardian takedown launch one of the biggest conspiracy theories within the community we've got the guardian takedown launch it is one of the most wild things to ever exist the guardian takedown was hyped up as a piece of content which could potentially be the best thing we've ever seen and then when it finally released it was the worst thing we've ever seen the scaling was all over the place the alleged puzzles weren't puzzles at all but would rather just stand in the circle games the bosses had like 20 immunity phases the gear drops weren't even that great and and it was it was just one massive sandwich and the whole community took the biggest of bites out of it i don't want to talk much about this one because it actually angers me how bad the guardian takedown is but yes the launch of guardian takedown was massive within the community and actually cause a lot of people to drop borderlands 3 understandably so next up on the list we've got jack poisons wilhelm this is something that not a lot of people know about but wilhelm who you sadly take the life of in borderlands 2 was poisoned by handsome jack the reason why a lot of people don't actually know about this is because it is a cut voice line but handsome jack does state that he poisoned wilhelm which is why the vault hunters find it so easy to kill wilhelm understandably and i'm guessing that jack poisoned will help because he knew that if he didn't wilhelm would kill the vault hunters but he actually needed for them to kill wilhelm so that they take the power core take it to sanctuary and then cause sanctuary to get attacked but hey while we're on the subject of jack why not talk about the jack is a good guy theory no not jack is a good guy fieri good guy theory that's right a lot of people including myself believe that jack is actually a good guy if you've ever played through the pre-sequel you'll know that handsome jack is actually a pretty cool guy but he was wronged by a lot of people which sent him into a spiraling mess of of just mental health issues which then resulted in him going totally insane and then wanting to kill the vault hunters and whatnot but jack actually did start out as a relatively good guy also it's perceived within the borderlands story next up on the list we've got lilith got roland killed this is something that a lot of people believe within the borderlands community and rightfully so i don't think you can actually doubt what they think here lilith basically got rolling killed because in the control core angel mission roland specifically tells lilith not to come anywhere near the control core angel so after the can after the vault hunters kill angel and and jack realizes that lilith is in the chamber he needs a replacement siren so he has to come into the chamber to retrieve lilith of course he can't retrieve lilith with her boyfriend in the way sir jack wham bam thank you ma'am rolling up real bad roland dies lilith is now jack's little pet like jabba the heart with a chain around his neck and uh yeah apparently this is why roland is dead is because lilith would not listen so uh yeah s in the chat thank you lilith but loki if kevin hart was playing roland the bullet would have missed next up on the iceberg we've got the bl3 hammerlock dlc bass players with githian oh my god this made me so angry and rightfully so it is on the iceberg this was the biggest debate ever i think i actually would have took bl2's hamlock dlc over bo3's hamlet dlc because at that one at least it didn't bait us with a potential massive fight for those of you who don't know bo3's dlc2 is set on xylogos a planet where a dead vault monster resides called githian and throughout the whole dlc the vault hunter is led to believe that there is a curse in the town and and people are being possessed by by githian's heart and whatnot so we we really thought going into the end of the dlc github would come back to the dead we'd have this amazing massive vault monster fight and maybe even a raid boss version that we could fight afterwards lo and behold it was a heart i cannot begin to tell you this has got to be a solid f here in terms of volt monster bosses or just bosses in general githian's heart has to be the biggest cop-out and biggest debate moment in all of borderlands history i don't know if if anyone agrees with me on this but personally myself and people that i've asked about this do agree this was one of the biggest debate moments ever let me know what you think of it in the comments the bait for githian was so wrong and i will never forgive you gearbox speaking about never forgiving people lilith stalks roland oh boy what a messy situation here so it's no secret within the borderlands franchise that lilith and roland did indeed at one point date i can't blame lilith i mean roland is a massive hunk of a man just oh what a baddie so lilith wants to date roland they date they're dating in the pre-sequel they're they're on they're on elpis is kind of their their little honeymoon but something between pre-sequel and borderlands 2 must have happened because when you go to the firehawks layer you can actually see on some of these screens in the lair itself that lilith has been stalking roland's social media pages oh boy you you naughty person look can we lock away lilith at this point she got him killed she was stalking him lilith is actually a criminal at this point see i thought i'd put this one on the list because not a lot of people know about it but some do which is why it's kind of midway there but yeah lilith stalked roland at one point very sad s in the chat next up we've got the lancer vehicle this is a vehicle within the general knox's armory dlc from borderlands one uh a lot of people surprisingly don't know that this existed but yes there is a mission i know it's bizarre that this vehicle only exists within a mission but yes in the in the knox dlc there is a side mission which you can pick up which will allow you to go and collect parts for a special vehicle and when you turn it in you can actually gain control of the lancer vehicle which is the vehicle that the crimson last man drive within the knox dlc very bizarre very shocking that is only accessible through a side mission i would have thought if you're gonna go through the effort of making a new vehicle for someone to drive that you might as well just put it in there from the start but hey i thought i'd put this on here because not a lot of people know about this but yes the lancer vehicle is indeed a thing you can go and get now as we come to the end of uvhm here we've got a very popular one and a very controversial one it's the endless weight for borderlands 3. now while this one is very understandable because of how many times gearbox had to switch development plans and engines throughout development for borderlands 3 the endless wait for bl3 was insane the tension was so high every time a pax rolled around or e3 or game awards or any any like announcement related game show rolled around you could cut the tension with a knife everyone was waiting for borderlands 3 and to nobody's surprise when it was finally announced it blew up it trended on twitter the trailer got over 5 million views in just a few days or like a week it was huge but the endless weight for bo3 was one of the biggest moments within the borderlands community everyone wanted it it was one of them things where it felt like it was never gonna end and speaking of never gonna end grandma flexington we're at the part of the list now where we are talking about just the craziest that they've done with the borderlands franchise grandma flexington from the headhunter the watergalva gobbler headhunter one of the most bizarre annoying boring pointless side missions ever made but for those of you who don't know about it there was a side mission in a borderlands headhunter they actually had to pay money for where you dead ass had to listen to a grandma's story that was it and she'd ask you questions throughout the story to make sure you were still listening and if you got it wrong she would restart the story all over again it's something that you'd see in like a ps1 game so i have no idea why they put it in bo2 admittedly i thought it was kind of funny but it pissed a lot of people off and finishing off in uvhm with one of the more bizarre things we've ever seen in the borderlands franchise the lord of the rings easter egg from borderlands 2. this was a very bizarre one but nonetheless you had to go to claptrap's place once you had got to iridium blight or b and borderlands 2. i can't remember specifically what one you had to do but in a nutshell to do this easter egg you would go back to claptrap's place and in the fireplace would be a ring which you'd have to pick up and then you would have to navigate your way to a volcano within the iridium blight without using cars or fast travel you would have to go there completely on foot actually i think you could use the car i'm not entirely sure but you was not allowed to use the fast travel station you had to make your way hard style all the way up to the volcano in iridium blight at which case you'd be attacked by enemies which would correlate to the lord of the rings universe very bizarre it's not on the list because it was bad or anything just one of the most bizarre things ever and something which probably took a lot of work to put into the game but hey this is borderlands after all all right congratulations gamers we've made it to op8 i know you love op8 so we're here and we're going to start off with the most bizarre theory ever it's a theory which i could not find anything on i just remember it being a thing at the time you've heard about krieg as tina's father but now i want you to ready yourself roland is tina's father i i don't know what to say about this one i don't really remember all too much all that i know is that this at one point was a theory i think it had to do with the fact that there was a picture of tina riding on roland's shoulder i don't know why that would make people think that tina is rolan's daughter but yes it was something at some point i've got it higher up in the opa section because i don't know much about it but just know that this was a thing and we can all forget it as soon as we go to bed tonight next up is axton's accidental bisexuality this is something which was a shock to me and i actually never knew about but sure enough yes it was a bug that accident was heavily implied to be bisexual and in the end gearbox just kind of ran with it which i think is pretty damn cool it's kind of hard to show you guys what i'm talking about with this point but in a nutshell there were voice lines from accident within borderlands 2 where he would compliment vault hunters male or female when he was reviving them in remarks which made it seem like he was attracted to them and apparently these voice lines were actually meant for maya at the time but gearbox said you know what why not having a bisexual vault hunter school so they left it in and i agree i think it is pretty cool and overall i think it added more depth to accidents very very bland personality moving on we've got rhys is working for jack this is an ongoing theory in borderlands 3 for those of you who didn't play tales from the borderlands handsome jack had an ai which somehow managed to manifest its way into rhesus brain and throughout the rest of details from the borderlands from that moment onwards jack is trying to take control of reese and bring himself back to life and at the end we are left on a cliffhanger with rhys destroying or keeping the ai chip which houses handsome jack and then magically within borderlands 3 it's revealed that reese is the atlas ceo and he's got all these connections and and all of a sudden he's very matured and people are wondering if maybe the reason for this is because he's working for jack and jack is pulling the strings and rhys is just the puppet also as we're going to touch on later on in the iceberg handsome jack was going to come back in bo3 at some point so it is one of them theories where people including myself believe that rhys at one point was going to bring handsome jack back and start working for him and the two would be their little dynamic duo partners in crime within borderlands 3 but this is not proven and we won't know for sure until the next game next up penantella i don't want to talk too much about this one celebrity cameos in video games are one of the dumbest things ever i'm not a big fan of them and when gearbox announced that penn teller would be a feature in borderlands 3 i think a lot of people were shocked uh not too shocked because randy pitchford is friends with penn gillette but i think we were all very very surprised when borderlands 3 released and pen and teller got a whole chapter within the main story of borderlands 3. like straight up the boss is called pain and terror and the character models is just pen and teller i do not know why this ever made it into the game i don't know why it was ever pitched it makes no sense whatsoever it transcends the point of wow borderlands is so wacky and just starts being hey look at this celebrity cameo i don't understand it and apparently pendulum is also getting a cameo in the borderlands movie i don't hate penn jillette i really like penn jillette but i don't want pendulum in my borderlands games non-stop please stop at gearbox please moving on we've got the crossroad fourth pellet those of you who play borderlands 3 at launch will definitely remember this one and probably be a little angry at this one as it coincides with the change to the hex grenade but at one point there was a hotfix which was done to borderlands 3 where they felt like the crossroad legendary smg was over performing slightly so instead of just lowering its damage like you would with a normal hotfix to a gun which is over performing gearbox removed the fourth pellet from the crossroads smg which subsequently made it worse for pretty much every single build and just made no sense like if you want to lower the damage you can do it without removing the fourth pellet we never got a reason as to why they had to remove the fourth pellet if it was something unrelated all we know is that it was done for damage purposes which makes no sense because they literally just could have lowered the damage on it moving on next we've got the layuda slash white death for whatever reason in borderlands 2 there is a legendary sniper rifle most commonly referred to as the lyouda but funnily enough if you play on xbox 360 the lyuda is actually called the white death no one really knows why although i do think that the white death is a better name for their the liouda but yes this was so peculiar and for a while in the community everyone was stumped on why their names were different and i think to this day it is still called the white death if you play on xbox 360 but the layout of white that is more of an iconic conspiracy theory slash myth rumor in the community which i wanted to include on the list next up we've got the diamond weisenheimer one of the rarest items in borderlands history is the diamond weisenheimer smg long story short the diamond weisenheimer is a gemstone weapon from the tina dlc and for whatever reason the diamond weisenheimer stands today as one of the rarest items in borderlands history and it's not even a legendary it is a purple smg moving on we have jack uses the destroyer's eye yes that's right the vault monster which gives you ten dollars at the end of borderlands one after the vault hunters take it out it is revealed through the claptastic voyage dlc and the story of the pre-sequel that after killing the destroyer at the end of bl1 hyperion moved in retrieved the eye from the destroyer and then gave it to handsome jack who was able to implant it into the eye of helios which is the massive laser which you see firing at the moon in the pre-sequel that is actually the destroyer's eye but i will say i don't think this one makes complete sense because after you kill the destroyer within borderlands 1 it goes straight back into the vault so it doesn't really make sense how hyperion could have got there to get the eye it was kind of something which was more shoehorned in for the sake of being cool but i mean it is cool and i'm willing to overlook the the little loophole they've got in there so yeah jack used to destroy his eye for the iaf helios i'm sure a lot of people know about this this is only going deeper into the iceberg it's going to get a lot wackier than this a strap in the next ones we're going to be talking about are more so confirmed and the first one is that tanis is completely insane this is revealed through numerous echo logs in borderlands 2 and just from hinted little intro cards within borderlands 2 and 3 as well that tanis is completely insane from all of the things she's seen on pandora this one's very sad i'm not going to spend too much time when it's not that important and it's really not that interesting either but long story short tanis is insane and yeah you maybe shouldn't trust her moving on next another one that we're not going to talk too much about because it's not that interesting is crazy oh is a cannibal this is hint it had numerous times throughout the borderlands franchise and scooter even details the time that crazyl ate a car with a knife and fork which i don't think ties into being a cannibal at all but if he's eating cars he's probably eating people too so just be careful of that one crazy old very weird guy so if he's a cannibal it would not surprise me moving on we've got the checkerbox cube this is something which has appeared in pretty much every single borderlands game bar entails of course the checkerbox cube is something you can find underneath every single borderlands level it is believed that the checkerbox cube is where they house the little intro of your character coming in with the portal animation do you get teleported to the checkerbox cube there when you respawn where you travel in so i think that's what the cube is for i could be wrong on that so do let me know if that's true or false but the checkerbox cube is underneath every level and if you've never gotten out of the map to try and land on it then oh my god what are you doing next up we've got bloodwings gender this is brought up on the list because at numerous times throughout the borderlands franchise it is heavily implied that bloodwing is either a guy or a girl and it actually seems that in the end the answer to this mystery was that bloodwing's gender is actually a rare species which actually shifts throughout its life cycle i'm pretty sure they did this just to cover up to the fact that they kept messing up which gender bloodwing was but apparently when bloodwing goes through its life cycle it will change gender and i'm pretty sure the one that dies in borderlands 2 is a girl and the one in borderlands one is a guy it's really uncertain but i think the only explanation we have is that yes bloodwings gender does manifest and change as it goes through its life cycle so i just thought i'd put this one on the list because it's a confusing one for sure but definitely an interesting one next up we've got evil claptraps this one isn't that interesting but it is something that not too many people know about but in a nutshell throughout the borderlands franchise claptraps have turned evil numerous times like seriously numerous times and uh and yeah this is this is just one of them ongoing jokes that the claptraps keep turning evil and then you go after them you turn them not evil then they go evil again we got frag trap in pre-sequel who was working with the evil guys it's just an ongoing meme at this point that claptrap constantly wants to rebel and then we have eos improv there is a lot of there is a lot of evil clap traps next up we've got borderlands online i'm sure a lot of people know what borderlands online is but it's this deep down in the iceberg just because we didn't really know all too much about borderlands online because it sadly never came out for those of you who don't know borderlands line was going to be a chinese exclusive game which was licensed by 2k and you could choose your own vault hunter you can make them look unique and uh yeah this never came to be 2k didn't really want to buckle down with it so it was cancelled halfway through and uh we didn't really get much out of it other than some leaked gameplay but borderlands online would have been really really cool although i can't say i blame 2k for dropping it moving on we've got dr ned dr z dr ted dr bed dr dead whatever he's been throughout the series dr zedd has got more offspring it it like i you you there's nothing else which has more offspring than dr zedd please someone explain to me how many relatives dr zedd has and where they're coming from moving on we've got lilith in a bikini this was a car skin that you could get in borderlands 2. it was lilith in a bikini but it was very weird i don't think anyone could have predicted it but yes there is a skin in borderlands 2 for your vehicle that places lilith inside of a bikini and uh and yeah this one just came out of nowhere that's why it's on the list now ending off opa i know it's been a while but we're finally ending off and we're going to op10 next the last thing on opa is that roland isn't dead yes that's right gamers players believe or some players believe maybe like a small fraction like a little little group of of scientists believe that roland isn't actually dead and the bullet that jack fired into roland from from the control court angel mission somehow didn't kill him even though we totally see him die in a cutscene and as you're gonna find out later on in the list that is very very important but yes people believe that roland isn't dead however that has been proved to be not true guys roland is actually dead it's canonical at this point he is gone okay congratulations we've made it to op10 and we only have two more hours of the list to go so we're gonna start off and quick fire a few of these because we do need to get going because oh boy the whole this is going long already so the first one is stealth nothing this is something which is not a secret it has been done before this is proven to be true gearbox numerous times through the past have stealth nerfed a bunch of stuff in borderlands without telling players is definitely pissed a lot of people off i don't really care about it too much but yes gearbox has stealth nerfed a bunch of things and they've also stealth fixed a bunch of things as well so let's not paint them out to be bad guys here but yes stealth nerfing is something that has been around for a while and if you don't know about it well now you're at the bottom of the iceberg you you know about it now moving on is slag this one is at the bottom of the iceberg because while a lot of people do know about slag what you might not know is that slag was actually going to return in borderlands 3 at one point but i think gearbox at some some point in development tweaked on to the fact that people do not like slag so they ended up taking it out entirely and i think that was definitely a good choice because even though i personally liked slag a lot of people didn't and uh yeah luckily it did not return in borderlands 3. next up we've got the perfect height of terror the height of terramorphis is a drop from terramorphus the invincible in borderlands 2 but to get a perfect hide of terror you are looking at what is undoubtedly the rarest item in the in the whole of borderlands history i really don't think there is anything more rare than the height of terror i'm sure someone will correct me if i'm wrong i don't even think the nemesis invader is more rare than the hyde of terror this thing from what i know is so incredibly rare that you could play the game for seven years and you probably still would not get a perfect hide of terror that's how rare they are continuing on down the iceberg we've got maurice i'm sure a lot of people who play borderlands 3 know who maurice is but maurice is on the iceberg because we don't really know all too much about maurice other than that he's a saurian how is there a talking story in our sanctuary i don't know this is where we're getting into the realm of borderlands where no one really knows truly what's going on anymore they're just adding bizarre stuff and first on here is maurice it is a talking dinosaur it's got its own room on sanctuary i don't understand a quick one we're going to debunk here is the ghost of face mcshootie this is a conspiracy theory brought up on reddit because of course that's where it was brought up and this one implies that there is a ghost of face mcshootie in thousand carts because after the player killed facebook shooti and went to the edge of the cliff he died on impact every single time it was repeatable if he went to the place where facebook shoot he died he would insta die but after testing this out on stream i can confirm that this is not the case it's just a poorly placed death barrier which kills the player and it's there regardless of whether or not you kill face mcshootie the next one is that the new you isn't canon or is canon no one really knows i was unable to find any quote from gearbox which says that the new you is or isn't canon although something later down the list might confirm or not confirm this this one is so messy i'm not even going to spend long in it i do not know if there is actually a factual answer for this no one really knows if the new you is or isn't canon if you do please show me some kind of proof i could not find it i scoured for hours i could not find any proof that the new you is or is not canon this one is very bizarre as well as what else is bizarre is that apparently irelia is a siren that's something else we need to talk about people think irelia is a siren i don't know if she is arisen apparently what she actually is is a very rich person and the ice shards that she's able to throw on command is just a super rare gadget that she has because she's so rich and irelia is not actually a siren i'm pretty sure that one has been debunked but i thought i'd put it on here because that's another confusing thing that people keep bringing up but no i don't think aurelia is a siren it's just a really extremely rare gadget that she owns because she's rich but who cares she's dead now i can have the gadget i'm gonna sell it on ebay it i might start selling my gamer guy piss next up on the list we've got border worlds in the lead up to borderlands 3 a lot of people for whatever reason believed that the new game was going to be called border worlds i don't know where this theory came from maybe because people got the leaks out that we were going to be going to other planets so they thought the game was going to be called border worlds i was sick and tired of hearing border worlds you could go to a quinceanera you'd hear border worlds you'd go to a carnival you'd hear border walls you could go to your grandpa's funeral and he'd probably whisper out the coffin this was annoying and i'm so glad that we got away with it when borderlands 3 was announced border worlds border worlds border worlds it never happened but something which could actually happen is the seventh siren this is heavily implied through the lore logs at the end of borderlands 3 or throughout borderlands 3 i guess you could say as well that there is a seventh siren in the siren universe that the vault hunters must never find i don't know too much about this one i'm not eruption fang i'm not going to sit here and fill your mind with law that's not even true but apparently there is a seventh siren who the vault hunters may never find and loki i might it might be claptrap if it's claptrap would anyone here object moving on now as we get to more of the bottom of the iceberg we've got mayhem 2.0 if you are a borderlands 3 player you know why mayhem 2.0 is at the bottom of the iceberg but for those who don't the reason why mayhem 2.0 is at the bottom of this iceberg is because it's a mystery why they messed up mayhem so bad and it's also an even bigger mystery why they never took us back to mayhem too better afterwards because mayhem 2.0 lost a lot of players for borderlands 3 and could have subsequently been the end of the game if they didn't keep updating it mayhem 2.0 was an absolute disaster for some reason they thought they had to overhaul mayhem which just was not the case because mayhem was pretty damn good in its current state but yes they made an executive decision to overhaul mayhem and instead all they did was break it even harder moving on with the list this one is a very very sticky situation and i have got a video on my channel if you want to check this one out it is the theory that timothy lawrence is handsome jack there is so much to talk about with this one specifically it would probably draw the video out even longer so i'm gonna try to keep this one short and sweet but in a nutshell there are numerous things throughout the story of the handsome jackpot dlc and throughout the lore history of timothy lawrence and handsome jack that timothy lawrence could actually be handsome jack and that the handsome jack we kill at the end of borderlands 2 isn't actually handsome jack and is actually timothy lawrence and that's why jack is actually timothy lawrence in in in the the moxie's heist dlc this one is so confusing it deserves its own documentary but there is numerous things pointing at timothy being jack or jack b and timothy the whole body double situation is an absolute mess but take my word for it there is actual proof which points to the fact that timothy lawrence might actually be dead and handsome jack might be alive or vice versa this could point to a return of handsome jack in borderlands 4 and for those saying that it wouldn't make sense slow down do your research because this one actually makes perfect sense yes that's right timothy lawrence could actually be handsome jackie could be morphing into handsome jack handsome jack is not dead that's what you need to take away from this but something i want to take away is who is zero who is zero do we know who zero is apparently tanis is the only person who knows who zero is who is zero is it in meridian is it vinyl like puma is the glitching queen i don't know but no one else does apparently who is zero can we know i don't think we'll ever know zero who is it who is it next up on the list we've got shift coins shift coins were a thing in borderlands the pre-sequel which could be accessed via cheat tables and when you got them in game they appear to shift coins no one really knows what they did uh apparently they were going to have some kind of interaction with the shift machine in concordia but long story short no one really knows what shift coins were but they were in pre-sequel at one point as we proceed on to the end of op10 we've got captain scarlett is alive i don't think this one is more of a theory but it's more of a rumor as to where she could be but yes we don't ever see captain scala actually die which leads many people to believe that she is indeed alive and we're waiting to see her make her return at some point in the series i don't know if anyone can find any more information on this maybe i'm just going peanut brain here and i don't know whether or not she's dead or alive but from what i could see from doing as much research as possible captain scarlet never died and she is open to make a return at some point in the future moving on we've got the pre-sequel scams it's fans that's right for those of you unfamiliar with borderlands the pre-sequels dlc cycle it had a season pass which had a slated four dlcs to come out but after 2k australia sadly had to shut down fans never got their four dlcs and only got the claptastic voyage dlc instead but if you ask people for their opinion on this you might get mixed signals back some will say they did some will say they didn't apparently if you take a look at the graph for the pre-sequel season pass they actually kept to their word and players did get what they were promised but some people say differently this one is near the bottom of the iceberg just because of how many people go back and forth on it whether or not the precinct will scam to their fans on a season pass make your own conclusions from it i'm leaning towards they didn't some people are vowing that they did so yes that's why it's on here next up with more wacky in borderlands history excalibasted from borderlands the priest sequel this was a gun similar to the excalibur hence the name where you would have to go over to this gun it was a legendary laser shotgun and if you had enough badass rank you could reach into the stone and pull out the legendary excalibustered this one is just so wild i had to put it on here i thought it was super cool though so yeah the excellent bastard and to continue on with more wild we fought a train in borderlands that's right the the psycho creeks fantastic foster clock from borderlands 3 there is a boss called loco mobius which is a train a train now i know it's in this crazy creek dlc but i just want to just want to bring up how wild it is the concept that we actually fought a train in borderlands i there's not much more to say about this just really crazy and finally ending off op10 we have the popular theory how could we not talk about it ava got maya killed this is something that people strongly believe and you could go back and forth in it all day i'm just gonna give my two cents on it right now break the fourth wall here kiddos this is a video game written by gearbox if ava didn't get maya killed someone else would have and it's already been confirmed that maya would have died regardless of ava's involvement there so i don't think ava got maya killed but i did want to put it on there because it is a big salad that people like to take bites into from here and there and yeah i wanted to put it on here so apparently ever got maya killed it's canonically not true but yeah it's on here but with that being said that does it with op10 it's time to move on to op21 that's right boys you paid for this dlc starting off in ob21 we've got the flame rock refuge hidden vault that's right outside of flamework refuge there is a vault which we never get to see or at least it doesn't seem that we do and since tina's dlc is basically made up it's unclear if this vault is canonical or what it might be but all we know is that there is a hidden volt outside of flame rock refuge which is pretty damn cool moving on we've got the error message this is the rocket launch that master g the invincible wields and in some cases players were able to use mods to get this thing to drop for them there's nothing really special about this it's basically just an ahab but it's still pretty interesting nonetheless and i'm sure a lot of people remember the time that the error message thing was going around on youtube and yeah pretty cool critical memory next is borderlands mobile oh boy this one is a funny one to talk about for those of you who don't already know a long long time ago there was a game for ios type of borderlands mobile which was essentially just a top down shoot for borderlands but boy oh boy was it a flop i don't really know too much about borderlands mobile and you can't even get it today which makes this even more hard to talk about but i do know that there were situations where sometimes you'd have to pay to unlock the next levels which is absolutely ridiculous and also apparently the game was just completely boring so that never helps the situation either next we've got the ascension bluff door how could we have a borderlands iceberg without talking about the ascension bluff door in typical borderlands fashion there is usually some kind of hidden invincible at the end of the game or within a dlc and in borderlands 3 we do have that in dlc6 now however when the game released it was very very very apparent from gameplay leaks we had seen stuff in the files and also the ascension bluff door that there was supposed to be an invincible at launch for borderlands 3 but there just never was we'll talk about this more later but long story short the essential blufftor was one of the biggest mysteries in the bl3 community for so long and oh boy oh boy following after that we've got timothy lawrence died in opportunity i don't know why i constantly have to bring this one up but we do because people still think that timothy lawrence actually died in opportunity and that's why there's no doppelganger guys it was an engineer once you kill the body double it turns into an engineer so yes jack's body double is not timothy lawrence that was a very very massive conspiracy theory and myth in the community for so long i i don't know why you literally see it turn into an engineer next we've got rainbow rarity this was added in the commander lilith dlc for borderlands 2 but we actually knew about rainbow rarity beforehand due to some leaks within the game and this one is the op21 just because the the whole idea of a rainbow rarity in borderlands is absolutely insane and while we're at it we should also bring up black rarity as well black rarity weapons was a thing in the game at some point and even though i feel like it should probably be higher up on the iceberg i'm really not too bothered since black rarity weapons were such a weird thing in borderlands 2 at the time so yeah rainbow rarity and blackberry you've kind of got like a little double entry there moving on we've got the bane what a bizarre bizarre mission but the bane brought in a lot of mainstream attention to borderlands and rightfully so it was absolutely bonkers for those of you who don't know what the bane is it was a side mission where you'd have to investigate a curse of a gun called the bane and when you finally track down the bane is revealed what that curse is and it's that every time you hold the weapon you become extremely slow the gun is really bad and it screams at you like just constantly constantly screams at you totally bizarre absolutely wild next we've got td or guns exploding in your hand i don't think this is one that a lot of people are going to remember but yes in the elite borderlands 2 game play back in like 2011 randy pitchford i i believe it was randy pitchford said that td or guns when they were being introduced had a chance to explode in your hand when you reloaded them and boy oh boy i'm so glad that never made it into the game following that we've got vault hunters are evil this one i can't talk too much about so there's not much that i know about it i think for those who know they'll know uh there's this ongoing theory and borderlands and i guess you could say conspiracy theory from little hints with echoes here and there and from the iridians like scourge and whatnot that the vault hunters are actually evil and you know that classic saying everyone's the the hero of their own story kind of applies to the vault hunters so yeah apparently the vault hunters are doing more bad than they are good if anyone wants to discuss this in the comments i'd love to know more about it something i'd also love to know more about is the seraphinder being an iridium this was a theory that was on reddit a long time time ago but yes apparently the seraph vendor in borderlands 2 is some kind of meridian because of the color of his eyes and also how he just shows up out of nowhere and is able to provide you with these really unique guns that you've never seen before for a currency that you're getting from these ultra powerful beings and and yeah where did the dude come from it kind of makes sense i don't know for sure couldn't find too much on this apart from a few posts here and there asking hey do you think this guy's an iridium oh he might be in iridium so yes if you know more about this as well please feel free to let me know as we get to the bottom of the iceberg you're going to be hearing me say that a lot now please let me know if you know anything about what comes after this one including axton his turret i don't know where this one came from i think this has actually been confirmed though although i i really really cannot provide you with an audio clip i actually think it's an arms race where this is confirmed i'm not entirely sure but there seems to be like this ongoing joke in the community that accident the commando his turret i don't know that for sure if he did his turret then uh good for him i mean hey man all power to you buddy it reminds me that dude from that little uh tlc documentary who the exhaust pipe on his car power to you accident and ending off in op21c i told you we'd go quicker we've got handsome jack was going to return in borderlands 3 yes gamers this is canon this is confirmed and it's even more confirmed by this little screenshot here which i got from the behind the scenes content in dlc6 which shows that in early bl3 development handsome jack was actually going to be in charge of prometheus and now if we dial back the clock a bit take some zany's now i want you to think about what we talked about earlier in regards to rhys working for jack that's why i said that rhys might be working for jack because in the early concept art jack was in charge of prometheus but in the final product it's actually reece in charge of prometheus so it makes you wonder how was jack going to be in charge of prometheus this one is absolutely wild i would have loved to see jack return but not everyone thinks the same all right you mega we've made it to op75 this is where things are getting really really messy and i'm sorry if there's a lack of information on these ones they are just so out there it is very hard number one lilith is commodant still this one is confirmed or or rather not she's commandant still but lilith was going to look like commandant still i should say in the early concept art for borderlands 1 it's actually revealed that lilith's og design is actually comma dance steal from the end of the game there's also some other wild stuff in there that we'll get into in a minute one of them is that roland was gonna be a white dude at one point and actually looks fairly similar to accident which is kind of weird but the second one and this leads us into our next point is that mordechai is riva and riva is mordecai for those of you who don't know riva is a boss in boardlands one encountered in croms canyon who drops the reavers edge but what's actually unique about riva is that his character model is actually the first original character model for mordecai which is really bizarre and i just thought that'd be really important to put in here because i'm not sure a lot of people know about that and it definitely shocked me when i found out next up we've got epic exclusivity and i know i know dry your tears kiddos dry your tears it's gonna be okay epic exclusivity when you mention those words the first thing you think about is how this single-handedly almost killed bl3 and stopped its hype dead in its tracks epic's six-month exclusivity deal with gearbox and 2k might just be the worst decision ever made in borderlands history let me know if you agree with that in the comment section down below i don't want to spend too much time on this one because i don't have much positive things to say about it but yes epic exclusivity was very very very bad for borderlands 3 and might again just be one of the worst decisions they've ever made but following this we've got the theory that lilith isn't dead and we actually have some partial confirmation here now because there's too many borderland shows to sift through to find where this happened you're just gonna have to take my word on it but i believe it was graeme timmins or maybe randy varnell in an episode of the borderlands show who said that lilith is gone when when they were asked if she's dead or not so lilith isn't actually dead or so it seems and again we talked about or rather we're going to be talking about later on about dying in cutscenes and whatnot it definitely seems that lilith is not dead and i guess we have partial confirmation on this but this is definitely one of those wild theories which is why it's right below the iceberg another thing right below the iceberg is loaderbot everywhere i don't know where this one came from but there was a theory leading up to borderlands 3 that flak was actually loaded about and then there was also a theory that that loader bot was going to be a boss in borderlands 3 and and who knows maybe loader box going to be an ai and borderline and load about being everywhere is a top quality meme and you know what i just got to give it to the people who come up with this stuff loaderbot is everywhere i i believe it now loaderbot's eternal speaking of being eternal lilith eats the moon wow this was bizarre flying towards elpis the thing that's currently trying to open pandora i wonder what we can do to stop it should we destroy the moon like zarpadam was trying to do no let's swallow it instead i don't get this one definitely very wild i don't have anything against it although it is really funny in dlc four when lilith you go and interact with her and she talks about how she ate the moon and whatnot i think that this is just more of a funny thing more than anything but it was just kind of weird and and yeah a little bit peculiar that she swallowed the moon and engulfed it in a fire hawk symbol like okay bro self promo but you know you do you speaking of doing yourself marcus stories these are everyone i don't know what the deal is with marcus stories it seemed like in borderlands 1 and partially bald lands 2 that they were kind of going with this this whole narrative that the borderlands stories aren't actually real but rather just stories that marcus tells to his grandchild or stories that are being told to marcus i don't know if we ever got confirmation of this very very weird and very hard to sum up and explain properly without diving down six different wormholes here but yeah i think marcus stories are canon on canon it's it's really bizarre no one really knows but what we do know about is the cancelled scarlet dlc within borderlands 3. this one is absolutely weird and is confirmed as being true so i'm going to leave a link to my friend hayden hypes video in the description if you want to check out the full dlc details and whatnot there's car audio there's there's information on what the dlc was going to be called and i can tell you right now that yes assets from this dlc were found within the fires of borderlands 3 there was genuinely going to be some kind of second scarlet dlc but what do i mean by scarlet dlc do i mean that scarlet was going to return no i don't think scarlet was going to return but there are hints in the dlc if there being a pirate ship map being a pirate bartender amongst a bunch of other things and again there's a link to hater hype's video in the description should you want to go and find out more very very very interesting stuff what's also very interesting is the mimic easter egg the mimic easter egg in tina's dlc absolutely wild i still don't know how to properly trigger it to this day i followed maybe like 20 tutorials and was never able to get this to work but in a nutshell when you go through the tina's dlc and you get to the dragons of destruction ray boss you can trigger this easter egg where you can see a massive stone golem fighting a massive mimic off in the distance absolutely bizarre but still one of the coolest easter eggs we've ever seen implemented i think this one is absolutely bizarre it's mount jackmore mount jackmore was used as marketing for borderlands 2 leading up to the launch where players would go to a website and they'd be faced with a massive statue of handsome jack's face in which they point and click it endlessly chipping away at the statue to deface it and when they did this they'd have chances to win actual rewards like borderlands pins and other swagger like that i don't know too much about manage at mount jackmore it is it's one of those things which when it went away a lot of the details around it did as well and when it was released not many people twigged on to what it was or really cared about it too much as well i'm sure a lot of other people who were following borderlands 2 a lot closer to its release they're going to know more about mount jack more but yeah i've got a video on screen right now you can kind of see what the deal with mount jack moore is i never got to play it which is very very very sad i really wish that i could have but yes sadly mount jackmore is not playable anymore but boy what a wild idea this next one isn't all that crazy although i do want to bring it up because it's definitely one of the more interesting things we've ever seen from borderlands and i'm not sure a lot of people realize that it was a thing it kind of went under the radar for a few people but there was a borderlands fortnight collab where they actually had a borderlands area on their map as well as a borderlands psycho character with a a claptrap little backpack and just how how did this become a thing i don't know very down very weird maybe because of the the epic exclusivity that maybe opened doors for this to happen big dobski for borderlands very weird but big dobski congratulations that the borderlands fortnight club was very very bizarre but nonetheless it was pretty interesting i can't fold it what's even more interesting though is luxie's space adventure now this one is at the bottom of the iceberg only because of how wild it is and how crazy this dlc sounded this isn't down here more so because people don't know about it and that's why i'm not going to talk too much about loxie's either because i'm sure a lot of people know what it is by now but in a nutshell is basically the commander lilith dlc but for borderlands the pre-sequel however sadly when 2k australia shut down so did development for this dlc but it even had its own raid boss like look how cool this thing is i can't believe this dlc got cancelled very sad i wish we can at least get to see that raid boss at some point in the future and the fact that they made this dlc into lilith dlc but then didn't include this raid boss and instead went with penis man 9000 aka haterax is absolutely bizarre to me now finally ending off op 75 we have got lorelei was lilith yes that's right the original design for lilith in borderlands 3 was going to look eerily similar to lorelei but when borderlands 3 ended up releasing it looks like they did a complete 180 and instead gave lilith's new design to lorelei and went for a more faithful look for lilith instead which i think was a amazing idea definitely was not a fan of the new live design so i'm glad that they changed their mind on it all right gamers we've made it to op100 and this is where things get insanely insanely bizarre we're gonna start off right here with the one we've been hinting at all video it's dying isn't canon unless it's a cutscene if i could find the tweet from gearbox i would cash in on it and invest in it because this was the most wild thing i have ever seen i don't know if it was a joke all i know is that very recently gearbox official tweeted out from their twitter account uh replying to a fan that dying is not canon unless it's in a cutscene this opens up so many can of worms it is i can't even i can't even comprehend it like think about this handsome jack was dying in a cut scene however he doesn't actually die in a cutscene therefore handsome jack isn't actually dead according to this theory or i guess not even this theory this this is canon they confirmed it the warrior sure you kill the warrior but he doesn't die in a cutscene you hit the button it comes down and hits the warrior and it goes back into the lava so i guess you could say the warrior isn't actually dead tyreen at the end of borderlands 3 does however die in a cutscene after you knock her down she all of the essence goes into lilith so i guess you could argue that tyreen really is dead this one is so bizarre because it opens up so many theories for potential returns in the future and that's why when people say that handsome jack returning wouldn't make sense i stop them dead in their tracks and say hold on hold on hold on do your research because handsome jack could actually be alive and it would make perfect sense according to gearbox but following up with an even crazier theory we've got tiny tina is mose this one isn't so a theory now but more so a theory before borderlands 3 launched when gearbox went and did their whole little gameplay showcase i think it was gcx or something like that they showed off what they were doing with the next borderlands game in regards to shaders texturing and whatnot and they showed off a character model which at the time was moe's but they had her face obscured and randy pitchford made the comment about how they're purposely not trying to reveal the identity of the character which led fans to believe that this was actually a grown-up tiny tina this one was the most bizarre thing ever at the time and what's even more bizarre about it is i think people actually believed it as well so definitely one of the more wild things we've seen in recent memory before the launch of borderlands 3 and yeah just uh just the crazy theory all around but not as crazy as the watcher being tyreene this one is bizarre so bizarre in fact that i was only able to find one reddit post on this which even merely hinted at it but since it became such a thing i think i had like 30 or so upvotes we've got to acknowledge it and and talk about it the watcher being tyreen i don't think it makes much sense at all i don't know why this is a theory but it's a theory i guess and it's on the list it's a op 100 because of how absolutely batshit crazy it is do you think the watcher could be tyreen i don't think so i don't think that would make any sense whatsoever but yeah we never see the watcher in borderlands 3 so so who knows i'm gonna say this one isn't true but when we're at the the right at the bottom of the ocean right here how are you supposed to know what's true or false exhibit a who shot claptrap leading up to the launch of borderlands 3 promotional images showed that claptrap looks like he had some kind of bullet hole in his his robotic suit i guess you could say in his body no one could really figure out why claptrap had been shot i still don't think we know to this day if anyone knows please let me know i've been following this one very very closely but yes claptrap had a bullet hole in him leading up to bl3 and when the game came out there was no bullet hole in claptrap so was he shot was he not shot people thought claptrap was going to die leading up to borderlands 3 i thought claptrap was going to die leading up to borderlands 3 but nothing actually ended up happening so i guess this one was just amongst the other cut story stuff but they already had the graphics so they reused it i don't know but this one is definitely extremely peculiar what's also peculiar is the battle pass rumors for borderlands 3. i'm not gonna dwell too much on these because we basically have the vault pass now which is similar to a battle pass however at the time there were rumors from youtubers who i won't name that a battle pass was going to make its way into borderlands 3. there was a bunch of details leaked on this apparent battle pass which never actually made into the final product and other youtubers also took it upon themselves to make clickbait titles and concepts for this battle pass which all in all just ended up gaslighting the community and probably put a stop to some very good plans that gearbox had because as we now know the the vault pass or what was it the vault card is actually a very good idea and it's very fun so man i it makes me think what it would have been like back then if it didn't get put on the shelf due to all these youtubers trying to to gaslight the idea of it but then again all's while the ends were we did get the battle pass or the vault card in the end and they actually pulled it off so fair played the gearbox there the next crazy theory here is that rose is a siren this one i think is actually more believable than not believable but for those of you who are unaware at the end of dlc3 bounty of blood rose completely shifts off screen she's never seen again and players think that because of the tattoos that rose has on her she might be a siren i don't know if this one has ever been confirmed or not confirmed i couldn't find anything about it when i searched it up if you know if this is true or false or hey even if you're someone from gearbox and you want to spill a little bit of the beans do let us know i think rose would make an amazing siren she definitely looks like a badass she walks around like a badass and yeah i'm all for it man if rose is a siren then count me in and now moving on we've got no invincible in borderlands 3 for over a year this one kind of ties into the whole ascension bluff door thing but i do want to bring this one up and put it so far down at the bottom of this iceberg not because not a lot of people know about it but because this is one of the craziest dumbest most blind ideas i think i've ever seen in the history of a borderlands game the decision to not put an invincible in borderlands 3 for over a year i believe single-handedly dropped at least 20 percent of their player base because when the going got tough and there were nafs all over the place that people weren't happy with even though i didn't think they were that bad it definitely pushed people away from the game and i think having an invincible there could have at least slowed down that process just a little bit but what's even more bizarre about not putting an invincible in bo3 for over a year is that they put arms race in before they put an invincible in they actually made what seemed to be some kind of warzone battle royale rip-off instead of an invincible i don't know why why can't the invincible be pushed to the front of the queue i don't think we'll ever know all i know is that if i was in charge of gearbox i would be in the office and i would be hey guys this game needs to launch with an invincible at least within the first three to four months but that never happened very very sad it's at the bottom of the list because of how bizarre this is just a really really odd choice and yeah definitely deserves to be at the bottom of the list in my opinion the next thing we're going to be talking about is the canceled dragons keep 2 dlc this one is at the bottom because there's not too much known about it and also because the idea behind this is just absolutely crazy but yes for those of you who do not know in the files of borderlands 3 there is leftover assets from a potential dragon's keep 2 dlc which never came to be this was done very very very early on in development and there's not too much there although there is stuff like a lightning storm grenade similar to how there was in the original dragons keep although i do have some other details that i can share with you guys on here and it's that there was some leaked areas from this apparent dlc there was going to be around four to five main missions it looked like and it also seemed like the new areas would have consisted of a mushroom town some kind of bottom of the sea area and also a desert area too which sounds absolutely insane and as i've already said there was a lightning kind of grenade there was also an ice grenade which was similar to aurelia's ice grenade there was a grenade which shot meteors and there was also a fireball grenade although i think we've already got something pretty much like that in borderlands 3. there was also going to be stuff such as new room decorations goblin enemies and like resurrected bosses from borderlands 3 as well just an absolute crazy crazy crazy crazy amount of info about this dlc but at the same time there's also not a lot of info at all and finally ending off the video the borderlands iceberg the final thing i want to bring up is zayn is the other doppelganger to handsome jack this one has got to be the most far-fetched but simultaneously the most sense-making theory probably on this list there is so much proof that kind of suggests that zayn might be the new handsome jack doppelganger and he might be double double crossing the vault hunters or something like that i this one makes my brain explode i really really wish i was smart enough to even comprehend what this could mean and again in the description down below i'm going to leave links to videos from people like hayder hype if you want to learn more about this theory this was one that was basically leading up to borderlands 3 but it did make a lot of sense and while this has never been confirmed as being canonical or not or being true or false it's definitely an interesting theory nonetheless and if you're into this kind of stuff and you like that theory crafting kind of thing with borderlands law i think this is something you might definitely get some good watch time out of or at least i hope so anyway because this video has gone on for a minute jesus christ i am so sorry this has been probably the longest borderlands video i've ever made but gamers we've made it to the end of the iceberg i probably missed out a ton of things i'm really sorry i tried to fit in as much as i could and as much as i could possibly remember if i missed stuff out please don't sue me let me know what i missed in the comment section down below and again if you have any info on the stuff i've talked about on this iceberg list please let me know i'm definitely interested in learning more about the things on this list thank you guys so much for watching if you want to make your own iceberg feel free to make one tweet me on twitter epic ng i'll go and watch your iceberg i'm all for this kind of stuff so thank you guys so much for watching i really appreciate it i'll see you in the next one
