Borderlands 3 - Borderlands Science Official Trailer

The Borderlands Science Machine is an Arcade Cabinet in Borderlands 3 that contains a puzzle game. By playing this mini-game you help solve real scientific problems and earn in-game rewards.

Where is the Borderlands Science Machine?

The Borderlands Science Machine is located in Tannis’ Lab a.k.a. the infirmary on Sanctuary 3. If you are coming from the Fast Travel Station, you want to go toward the spaceship’s bridge. You want to climb up the ladder to the left just past the Vault Hunter’s private rooms. Once you are on the upper level, you just walk toward the front of the ship and you will encounter the infirmary.

How does the Borderlands Science Machine work?

The Borderlands Science Machine offers you small puzzles. The task is to match the tiles with the assigned Vault Hunter to the side. You have a limited number of tiles you can move upwards. You can submit the arrangement if you match up enough tiles, however, managing to match up more tiles than required provides you with additional coins.
