As a break from the mayhem of the main Borderlands 3 story, Gearbox has introduced the Borderlands Science Arcade in collaboration with researchers doing real genetic studies.
If you believe the soothing voice of TV scientist, Mayim Bialik, by completing the puzzles in-game, you’re fixing real-world inaccuracies in algorithmically sorted DNA sequences. As you work your way through the Borderlands Science Arcade, you not only help with scientific research, but earn rewards as well.
There are two kinds of rewards you recieve for completing Borderlands Science Arcade puzzles:
- Currency which buys in-game boosters
- Cosmetic rewards for all four vault hunters
There are four heads and four outfits to collect in total, as well as six boosters to pick from.
How to solve Borderlands Science Arcade puzzles:
Once you’ve headed to Tannis’ lab and fired up the arcade machine, you’ll have to play through the Claptrap tutorial level to get accustomed to the Science mechanics.
IRL, DNA is sequenced with four letters: A, C, G, and T. In the Borderlands Science Arcade, each of these has been turned into one of the playable vault hunters.
To solve each puzzle, you need to place yellow push blocks in between the different vault hunter blocks to match them to the symbols on the left-hand side of the grid.
