Borderlands 3 69 Damage Easter Egg Cues Character Laughter

Borderlands 3 69 damage hits are a very specific trigger. The Borderlands games have never been known for the intelligence of their humor, and this latest Easter egg does little to reverse the trend. It is, however, a joke. No one would dispute that.

Borderlands 3 69 Damage Easter Egg: Dealing 69 Damage Cues Character Laughter

According to a video posted to r/GamingDetails by Borderlands 3 player u/Brunky89890, whenever a character deals exactly 69 damage to an enemy they'll let out a laugh. In their footage, they perform a ground pound-style attack that deals that amount of damage, and very softly you can hear a laugh off on the soundtrack.

The chuckle is not only quiet, but also pushed entirely to the right side of the mix, making it difficult to make out. But it's definitely there, adding its own small noise to the cacophony of jokes that make up the Borderlands 3 experience. Sigh.
