Back in May when the Borderlands 2preorder packswere first revealed, they included a"Golden Key" that nobody quite understood. Today, Gearbox Software has revealedthe in-game treasure chest that the key will open.
Seen above, the chest itself is a bit of a riddle that each player must solve for his or herself. See, the chest holds random, very powerful loot. However, the loot that pops out will be powerful only for the level at which you open it.
Therefore, if you open it the day the game launches, you'll have a great weapon to start the game, but you've also just squandered your chance to see what might come out later on down the road.
So do you hold off until you reach the late stages of the game? Or open it quickly and wonder til it drives you mad what might have come out ten levels later.
Borderlands 2 launches next week on September 18.
