[@aussiefreddy0077]

2 things. 1. Why didnt you use claptrap so you don't suffocate? 2. Why havent you talked about the recent hot fix?

[@AdmiralBahroo]

For some reason I forgot about claptrap... probably because I hate him. Also its coming soon.

[@harambeimstillhere1310]

Admiral Bahroo Bahroo are you gonna do a Jack build soon as well? :D

[@Precursor99]

Admiral Bahroo a hp reg moxtail can also completly negate suffocation damage

[@prinnydadnope5768]

+Admiral Bahroo You had great hope for Claptrap before the game cames out right ? Is the RNG action skill killing your hype ?

[@FutureZamasu]

Nikolaii your right

[@RicardoSForever]

"You'll need some kind of health regen". Can't you just go there as Claptrap? :D Anyways, nice find Dave, thanks for the share Bahroo.

[@TofuRabbit]

Thanks bruv.

[@AdmiralBahroo]

So .... Sanctuary... whatcha doing? Being on the moon? Das coo.

[@Yan_Alkovic]

Should've used Claptrap. Also I'd like to think that it's there because of Goth and his out of bounds series.

[@slowdown8at606]

Maybe its there because sanctuary was a spaceship made by dahl and moved to pandora just after tps?

[@RustCohle072]

Looking forward to your review of the doppleganger pack, along with all future DLC. Can you also do a review of the presequel as a whole? Apologies if you've already done it. I think we can all agree that while the presequel is the weakest entry in the series, there's a lot to like, i personally really enjoyed the story, seeing jack gradually go off the deep end was interesting To those that forgot: you can get a better look at sanctuary with wilhelm who can't die if saint is healing.

[@drthmik]

Sanctuary is a mobile Dahl mining outpost/ship/robot/thing and the moon has a LOT of old Dahl stuff, factories, machines, buildings, etc Maybe it is not Sanctuary but just another Dahl outpost.

[@SharpWitGaming]

Wasn't Sanctuary be mentioned in BL2 as DAHL mining ship?

[@caelifield7088]

Theory time: cutscenes are rendered in-game, so they had to construct a version of Sanctuary in-game to allow the engine to render the cutscenes showing the "present day" parts with the interrogation scenes.

[@TheTIGSY]

I thought that as-well but this is simply a flat image so it's not actually useful for the rendering..

[@RiveryJerald]

The skybox shown, is wen Sanctuary is about to fly up into the air. So its highly unlikely

[@jamesongorman8531]

Dahl was probably mining on the moon using sanctuary

[@insu_na]

Wasn't Sanctuary an ATLAS facility to begin with (or was it DAHL? can't remember)... So it stands to reason that Sanctuary (which is essentially a mining robot) isn't the only one in existance, right?

[@huskypro1]

Dahl

[@davidekstrom3932]

It was a Dahl mining ship

[@mastersimmons9001]

Given that Sanctuary is often referred to as Dahl's "greatest mining ship" I doubt there's more than one.

[@lilturk726]

The Tyrant The fact that they say "greatest mining ship" implies that there is more than one. How can it be the "greatest" if there are no other Dahl mining ships to compare it to?

[@BladeFang0]

lilturk726 I think he meant that he doubts there's more than one Sanctuary if it's referred to as their greatest mining ship

[@GamerErman2001]

It's just a prop. Probably had the graphics lying around somewhere and slapped it in the background to help finish a rushed pre-order bonus.

[@RiveryJerald]

Prop is a 3d object, that is a scenic entity

[@goandgetquickscoped]

Sanctuary is there because at the start Lilith is interrogating Athena and the devs wanted all the game to fit on 1 storage unit.

[@moneybilla]

What A Skrub bs tho cause thats not thr sanctuary in the cutsecene the in cs is in the air that sanctuary hasnt tanken off yet

[@RiveryJerald]

Em, the Athena interagation is literally a CUTSCENE as IN a VIDEO not a fucking animation within the game

[@louishawkins8458]

Sactuary is an old Dahl mining rig so Dahl probably have one on Elpis

[@RiveryJerald]

+Louis Hawkins No one in their bright idea, would name a ship and a mining rig the same name

[@felixsundqvist6377]

Bahroo! Gearbox has fixed the vehicle bug that disapbles you're skilltree and made it so that shields are no longer resist against fire, corrosive and cryo :D

[@SirRaiuKoren]

I'm sure this has been mentioned elsewhere, but here I go. I think it's an easter egg. *Sanctuary is a Dahl installation that was intended to be a mobile mining facility.* It's exact origin is never stated in Borderlands 2, but it is conceivable that it was initially meant to mine Elpis, then moved to Pandora sometime after the Crackening, which was (supposedly) caused by Dahl. Perhaps Sanctuary is what caused the Crackening, and the point you see it in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is immediately before it moves to Pandora to try its luck there, since it is in Flight Mode when you see it. *It's highly unlikely that everyone in the design department would fail to realize the implications of placing a Sanctuary set piece in TPS.* If it was a minor set piece from BL2, like Overlook, maybe it could have been laziness. But to choose the most iconic locale of BL2 as a set piece seems intentional; from the distance you see it in the main map, it would not have mattered what set piece you used. They could have used anything, and no one would be the wiser. But to choose a more detailed piece, like Sanctuary, doesn't seem lazy. If laziness were the motive, then why not choose a simpler set piece, like a random rock formation or something? *Borderlands be lovin' dem easter eggs.* Almost everything in the Borderlands franchise is a reference to something, even itself. The writers and designers do not tend to pick dialogue, quest names, locales, and sets lightly. I mean, even the line "Don't believe in yourself. Believe in the me that believes in you," line from the Inspire skill is a reference to Gurren Lagann (one of my favorite references in TPS, by the way).

[@rockgod20000]

the only problem with your theory of it moving is thee fact that it was on pandora during the events of borderlands 1

[@brooksy_]

Umm really did u never play borderlands 2 because the eridium showing which what I think u mean by crackening was caused by the vault opening in bl1 and Hyperion caused the vault hunters to do it by tricking them with angel

[@SirRaiuKoren]

caleb brooks-price​ Umm really did you never play the pre-sequel because they clearly refer to the crackening as something that happened on Elpis (the moon, which is not Pandora - where the first vault was located) that was ostensibly caused by a Dahl mining operation.

[@brooksy_]

just got it dont know to much

[@hubertboisvertboucher2071]

Also, in Borderlands you try to reach Sanctuary but never manage to get there, so its already on Pandora by then...But it could have changed spot after Borderlands, got to Elpis for the Pre-Sequel and got back to Pandora for Borderlands 2, but its a stretch. IMO it's just another similar ship of the same general class

[@armonrios9697]

it's obviously because of what santuary was built for. it was originally a space ship the whole time. more specifically a mining spaceship. it was said in the bl2 that santuary wasn't always in the southern shelf or wherever it's at. santuary already had the ability to fly and move from place to place, but scooter thought because of this that he could make it hover permanently, and lilith charging it with amence amount or eridium make it work surprisingly well. so it's no surprise it was on elpise before pandora, as DAHL was mining elpise before pandora

[@compman12345]

Maybe, but original vault hunters were going to Sanctuary, which was closed at the time,but it was definately on Pandora. After Atlas was defeated it was overrun by bandits. I dont think that Dahl/Atlas moved the city to Elpis, then back to Pandora just to lose it to bandits.

[@RiveryJerald]

+Armon Rios Lilith made it teleport, Scooter used his mechanics skills

[@Kititi56390]

I know it's a bit old to answer ... but my theory is just that it's here for the cutscene with athena captured

[@compman12345]

Cutscene could be rendered using BL2 map. I think it's just a video, not cutscene that is using ingame assets.

[@OhLookItsTekona]

Koalajasu In Borderlands 2, on an Echo Log, Angel stated that Sanctuary was constructed around the ruins of a Dahl mining ship, hence why the ship for Sanctuary is on Elpis.

[@Kititi56390]

for cutscene a the begining and the end

[@OhLookItsTekona]

***** I know what you mean, however that's not what I'm saying...

[@compman12345]

Xeo Sanctuary was on Pandora during first Borderlands. It can be another ship. but it's so far from a map you won't recognize it, so it may be just a low-rez asset to make background in this location. Also because of its low resolution and being just 2D picture it couldn't be used in cutscenes.

[@TheRenDog]

Or maybe they just used the same template for scenery. Kinda think you're reading a little too far into this.

[@sammyb106]

The bace of sanctuary is a Dahl mining ship so it's either A. Something similar to sanctuary I.E a different but same shaped city B. It IS sanctuary and in a "dock" ready for a Dahl commander to arrive on pandora to set up mining or to attack the surface inhabitance

[@dark0blade]

what if its a Sanctuary Class Mining vessel? its well known that ships/spaceships often get called the same and then get a specific coding number that the Captain uses this would mean that its a Mining Colony ship run by dahl and ofcourse they need a place to live and work so that explains all the Buildings (now your probably saying whout about air? simple responce Oz Kits)

[@sammyb106]

or that! yeah

[@shequan6843]

Sanctuary is the city on Pandora built on top of a Dahl mining ship of the same name (borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Sanctuary). Presumably there are other Dahl mining ship-cities of similar nature on other plants/moons. Therefore the appearance of such a ship on Elpis would appear to be congruent with the storyline. I should note that I just started pre sequel so I'm not yet familiar with the Elpis storyline. As far as why the developers put this in at such distance, it would guess that it's to break up the horizon / add to the feel that there is/was a lot of activity on Elpis (including Dahl mining activity). Thanks for sharing and great videos overall!

[@TheReaper5640]

Sanctuary was a Dahl mining ship with a city built on it, and from what I saw in the video it didn't say Sanctuary anywhere on it. The level designer might have intended it to be a Scav city built on a Dahl ship left after the crackening, but I'm probably reading into it too far.

[@FossilGames]

Well Sanctuary itself doesn't have Sanctuary written anywhere on it plus if it was a Scav city I highly doubt it would have been an exact replica of the Sanctuary city. Also in Borderlands 2 the Scav is not a faction so there would be no way they would have been able to build a Sanctuary on Pandora.

[@TMac2467]

FossilGames actually sanctuary is written on the pillar at the center of town in BL2

[@panfacedbag]

Sanctuary was a ship with buildings and whatnot built over it... Maybe it's just a reused sprite for the ease of using outsourced data to give that backdrop some extra spice. ;)

[@gunkeythefunkymonkeyjunky]

I think gearbox put it there just for back ground but in borderlands 2 a miner talks about sanctuary is a dahl mining city, so it kinda makes sense that sanctuary is on the moon, in a dahl facility, most likely still in production.

[@janeyrattray544]

In borderlands 2 if you get out of bounds in sanctuary while it's still on the ground by getting on top of crimson lance HQ (this can be done with a grenade jump in the latest version) and jump off the back of it, you'll land on a huge black platform. And if you head north along this platform for several minutes and follow the edge to the left when you reach it you'll eventually find an enormous hillside that you can walk on. You can find a weird concrete structure if you do enough exploring here, which I'm pretty sure is supposed to be bloodshot dam.

[@Zzucc]

That glow around it tells me it was done on purpose

[@brycedowner2521]

You also have to remember that Sanctuary is one of Dhal's many mining ship/cities and Dhal was on Elpis before the Crackening

[@Kolibre]

Probably some background doodad or deco where they didn't want you to recognise it but enough to fill up some background.

[@adz686]

Could be to do with the fact sanctuary is in the game because of the opening and ending scenes which take place in sanctuary just a thought

[@OhLookItsTekona]

adz686 In Borderlands 2, on an Echo Log, Angel stated that Sanctuary was constructed around the ruins of a Dahl mining ship, hence why the ship for Sanctuary is on Elpis.

[@unclesheogorath1960]

That wouldn't be the case. The cutscenes that take place in Sanctuary aren't rendered in the game, they're pre-rendered movies that play. In fact, just before the movies play, your HUD gets disabled, player inputs are disabled, and your weapon gets forced to be put away, and the movie gets projected in front of your FOV just far enough away that it takes up your entire screen. It saves on system resources from having to render everything in the game engine, at the cost of making the overall file size of the game a little bit larger.

[@SUELIGHTNING]

In borderlands 2 it says that sanctuary was basically a huge mining device (hence caustic caverns being under sanctuary) commanded by dahl, speaking that dahl is basically invading hyperion and the moon, this (sorta) makes sense

[@reliquary45]

Sanctuary was a Daul mining ship that was left behind at some point, place was actually in Borderlands 1 though you couldn't get there and between 1 and 2 roland kicked the bloodshots out and took it over *shrugs* my guess is that they where reusing old props for very distant scenery

[@gabu_b]

I think they just wanted to fill the map with details and since it's so far away, they've used Sanctuary's model because was already done...

[@lifelike6423]

No, they put this in on purpose I don't think they would just but sanctuary in for no reason, if they were doing what you said they would put something else like a city no sanctuary

[@rianjombang602]

It was actually Atlas's Ship that can essentially transport mass building and people so with that in mid they could've made more than one and maybe the reason that it's there is that there used to be an exploration team on elpis

[@chasanpaty9548]

DLC missions may center around how Sanctuary got to Pandora......and explain how lilith and roland knew to set up shop there to form the resistance.

[@KyoNEET]

Good work found this Bahroo, i love your video keep it up man!

[@NortyLukey]

Sanctuary is an old DAHL mining rig, so perhaps was sent from Elpis to Pandora at some point, hence why it was first seen on Elpis in TPS and then on Pandora in B2.

[@RiveryJerald]

In Borderlands 1, Sanctuary is inaccessible for several reasons. Helena Pierce tells the Vault Hunters that she has cut off access to Sanctuary because of Baron Flynt's presence in The Salt Flats, and that she didn't want innocent people getting killed by his tribe and their "infernal contraption". After Baron Flynt's demise, Crimson Lance forces under Commandant Steele's command fight the bandit inhabitants of the city. HAVE YOU EVEN PLAYED THE GAME?

[@GDT1985]

Dahl probably has more than one mining ship, but I'm sure they just grabbed a texture to use as background filler.

[@uwumemegang6377]

if you do the mission in the caustic cavern where you collect the echo recordings it says it was once a Dahl or atlas ship. as in flying

[@MrStJohnny]

Remember sanctuary was a DAHL mining ship before it was what it was in BL2, also remember that this game takes place prior to the burning of new haven, so possibly sanctuary had not landed on pandora to this point... Just good for thought

[@archterium]

When you are in the Caustic Caverns in Borderlands 2 you can find echo logs that tell you why Sanctuary was on Pandora. I'm not going to expain it but if you listen to the those logs you can guess why Sanctuary was on the moon

[@ZexiBeast]

If I remember correctly angel said something about sanctuary being built on ruins of a Dahl corp mining ship. Ad what company are you fighting on the moon guys?

[@bruno599723]

Jakobs ?

[@johnnybright6707]

+BMLRebocho LOL

[@allun5066]

+BMLRebocho Dahl

[@compman12345]

Maybe there were more ships like this one.

[@RiveryJerald]

+Altran Its the remnants of the payroll of the Dahl Corp, they came to the moon to evac the Dahl miners

[@cyanessence420]

Maybe gearbox and 2k Australia are gonna make a dlc in which you get to visit sanctuary, it would be cool to visit it and sanctuary was a dahl mining ship... but the story line wouldn't work out because helena pierce made a comment in the first borderlands about closing off the road to sanctuary. Guess we will have to wait and see if they work sanctuary into the pre sequel.

[@geonelms3548]

I would say its just a random feature to give the terrain more character, but if want to go lore wise, it could just be another Dahl mining colony/ship, to me, it doesn't make since that a major corporation would only have 1 "Sanctuary" but at least a few to colonize and mine on other planets as well.

[@SabreDance256]

Sanctuary is an old Dahl Mining ship that has a town built on top of it. I think it would make sense that Dahl may have built more than one ship of that class. This may not be Sanctuary, but another Sanctuary-class Dahl mining ship doing some digging on Elpis.

[@PlebNC]

My guess: It's just a Sanctuary style mining ship (as opposed to Sanctuary itself) and most likely a prop to show places where Dahl was mining the surface.

[@loneponderer495]

Isn't it obvious? It should be. The cut scenes are done in game engine as in they are not recorded CG. This is likely hidden in the game because it's part (key word is part) of the Sanctuary model used in the cut scenes at the beginning and end of the game.

[@XxLaingYxX]

DLC Idea. Sanctuary started on the moon and Roland and Lilith sent it to Pandora with the rocket things. You can incorporate Nisha and the others because Athena is telling a story and she could add them for Tina

[@munchies982]

sanctuary is a dahl mining ship and dahl pulled out of pandora before the first game starts, there are some tannis echoes that say the bandits and psychos used to be dahl workers that were abandoned

[@TheLeft4Gamer]

That makes no sense.

[@Kaiwashere321]

***** not a lot made sense in the first game, we just accepted it and they fixed that issue in the later games.

[@drthmik]

"I must keep the road to Sanctuary closed for now" Helena Pierce, Borderlands

[@Kaiwashere321]

drthmik Ya i understand all that between what she said through out the game and what borderlands 2 says they kinda contodict eachother a bit and im sure it throws the ones that dont wiki the shit out of it off.

[@crapbag1968]

It might be where the cutscene takes place in the beggining and end of the playthrough, instead of adding sanctuary as a map in this game that you never go to and only exists during those 2 cutscenes, they just threw it in there somewhere

[@GrebzDubstep]

maybe its there becos when the game starts, your in sanctuary, the opening cut scene, its probz something to do with that

[@readyforlol]

*POSSIBLE SPOILERS* Only one solution. (except the thing about sanctuary actually being a Dahl mining ship, which would be too obvious and not fun at all.) Lilith uses Sanctuary to...GO BACK IN TIME AND PUNCH JACK IN THE FACE AT THE END. I mean, seriously...she can teleport it, why not bring it before BL2 ?

[@jacobwojcik537]

IT'S SCIENCE

[@Lonexwolfy]

Yeah...that makes sense. Especially where Lilith blatantly says that the guardians let her walk though Eleseer.

[@TrickyHunter7]

Everything makes sense now.

[@mochmaster45]

Lilith wouldn't have had to go back in time because if she didnt, she never would have punched jacked in the face, therefore he wouldnt have that crazy grudge against her and there would have been no need to go back. Make sense?

[@i_rad]

if you check the achievements of the game there are three new ones that have something to do with "The Holodome"

[@TofuRabbit]

Double shot glich son, I shall teach you how to jump with that one day. Also appreciated the shoutout, my new subs will totally enjoy my one-in-a-topkek video schedule. Also its so weird seeing my 69 years old URL lol.

[@uk99danny]

think it could just be there for the opening sequence to be set in maybe? not sure but maybe its just a left over asset from programming the opening talk with athena

[@Re1easeDaBeast]

Well it makes sense because at concordia you can see wanted posters for maya at the up over bar.

[@tntradernox3654]

More than likely they stashed the background for the sanctuary cut scenes here. More than likely the lighting was the same so it was a good map to stash it

[@PhoenixWinterborn]

I think the only reason its here is to use for the beginning and end sequences since they needed to build Sanctuary for the cutscenes. Could be totally off-base too

[@zeyode]

Wait, Dahl left Pandora before Borderlands 1. The lost legion were Ex-Dahl, and Sanctuary was abandoned by Dahl at the Caustic Caverns because they were mining the crystal monsters there, so how did it get from that spot on Pandora, to the moon, to back to the same exact spot again? Either that's a completely different, but similar ship to Sanctuary, or whoever put that in there created a time paradox.

[@totylow]

that is DEFINITELY an easter egg dude!!! Great job finding it!

[@totylow]

????

[@LemmiwinkssZ]

Probably it was just for scenery but If it isnt no one said that sanctuary is one of kind and actually it was a huge grinder thingy of dahl mining operations so maybe this one is one of them!

[@adamtait9146]

Sanctuary was a Dahl Mining ship and during the pre-segual Dahl was one of the main Armies on the moon

[@themidgetraider3660]

Sanctuary is a dual morning site so it was winning on elpis before it went to Pandora and that's why it is broken and it needs help moving from Lilith

[@RiveryJerald]

borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Sanctuary In Borderlands 1, Sanctuary is inaccessible for several reasons. Helena Pierce tells the Vault Hunters that she has cut off access to Sanctuary because of Baron Flynt's presence in The Salt Flats, and that she didn't want innocent people getting killed by his tribe and their "infernal contraption". After Baron Flynt's demise, Crimson Lance forces under Commandant Steele's command fight the bandit inhabitants of the city.

[@devilsmessanger]

it makes sense ,its mining ship after all.maybe they wanted to put it as skybox decoration

[@owen0699z]

Bahroo u know about the Mario Easter egg? Before u go to the vault with the rising platforms the second one u pass by let it bring u all the way up and it will teleport u to a gold room. Me and my friends where on it thinking it was gonna crush us and we got teleported.

[@xFlow777]

i think it's a "hidden" object that they will use in the DLC, gearbox tends to put game objects underground or in this case far off on the map :)

[@RavenDude101]

Probably not Sanctuary itself. As stated in BL2 Sanctuary is/was a Dahl mining ship, so Dahl would probably have thousands of these mining ships to send across the galaxy to mine stuff

[@MinerBtot]

I think this is where Sanctuary is before Borderlands 2. Sanctuary is a Dahl old mining facility anyway. Dahl abandoned the moon. Maybe Lilith, Moxxi, and Roland took the old facility down to Pandora. Highly unlikely, but maybe possible.

[@nstar674]

I think it's a leftover background from bl2 because tps and bl2 use the same engine

[@ToXiicZer0]

Sanctuary was a old Dahl Spaceship (I think) maybe we will go there in a DLC and they used this empty space to put it there just for trying if it works or so.

[@kaiju9671]

Remember guys sanctuary was an aircraft, maybe sanctuary was here before it went to pandora in borderlands 2 and it could be future DLC

[@CarlosIDK956]

I think they thought it it didn't look like sanctuary enough for people to prove from the "in bounds" portion of the map,.. Still they should have expected someone to find this but oh well

[@epickiwi2258]

Maybe it is part of a bigger easter egg where you see a flying sancuary in the sky. Or it could just be there because the presequal was just a massivly eddited version of bl2 and the editors were lazy.

[@cyberiasaint]

The Dahl Corporation has other mining ships. Perhaps this is one. I dont think the pillar had anything to do with Lilith either, could just be be part of the flight mechanisms.

[@Lady_Rad-Rat]

Sanctuary was actually a dahl base that flies. It is explained in the second game. If anything, it took off from elpis shortly after this branch of story line. Remember, this is before Wilhelm destroys new haven, and Roland founds the crimson raiders from the crimson lance rejects.

[@Lady_Rad-Rat]

Totally agree. The fact is it is a Dahl station and they are military. All their stuff looks the same.

[@jijonbreaker]

Sanctuary was mentioned in borderlands 1 as being relatively near New Haven. So no.

[@Pepepotamo620]

Well Sanctuary is a dahl mining ship so maybe it was on the moon before descending to Pandora on Bl2

[@munchies982]

dahl stopped operating on pandora before bl1, so it had to have already been there

[@Pepepotamo620]

True, but what if Lilith, Roland and Moxxi used it to descend back to Pandora? Dahl also worked on Elpis

[@yuzzo92]

Nope, no way. During BL1 you can hear Helena Pierce saying that the crimson lance are attacking sanctuary on Pandora; plus when sanctuary takes off it tears concrete. I think it's there just as a detail not because it really has to be there canonically

[@Lendalas]

Also, to add to what yuzzo92 said, the sidequest perfectly peaceful in Caustic Caverns makes it impossible for the ship to be on the moon.

[@RiveryJerald]

Most definetly not a fucking city on Elpis

[@kyleblack5988]

If you do want to check it out and have to worry about your health you should've just used one of the moxxtails that regen your health

[@MrOhnoyoujustdidnt]

What i think is they just have a sanctuary model for future DLC that might involve it

[@ThisIsDex]

future dlc might have sanctuary there. because roland and lilith are on the moon after all..

[@robgilmore6721]

My thinking is that they will use the code in future content for sanctuary so they just put it where they didn't think anyone would notice.

[@Hermit_Wish]

random question. Every time I play as cl4p-tp and kill an enemy, is there a line that says something with "David Vonderhaar"?

[@willschleis3306]

Sanctuary was an old Dahl mining facility. Dahl could have multiple sanctuaries around pandora and Elpis

[@RiveryJerald]

Sanctuary is a ship, and there cant be more than one Sanctuary ship. Like ffs learn about battleship names and tell me a ship with a same name that exists

[@joegravel4846]

im pretty sure sanctuary was mentioned in bl1, but you couldn't get there

[@callumlintern2312]

yeah that's right

[@nordinmusari5270]

I think this is for the last cut scene area cause itz a small area to put a lot random stuff i think

[@TheMysteriousP]

Just buy one of moxxi's cocktails in the bar so you don't run out of air for people who want to do this. :)

[@codyostrander1283]

the building jump on a barrel then jump on a near pipe and then jump on the roof then look at themountings and u will see a green claptrap and start jumping and he will wave and say(OVER HERE) and then start jumping its kinda cool so 2 claptraps in fyrestone.

[@christoptheillusiveman9875]

I know, how long was he waiting...

[@ukarlu]

Just went there with Doppleganger using health regen shield , it's simply 2D texture and disappears once you pass through it .

[@corimulhearn4821]

could they use that for the beginning of the game with Lilith and the bunch capturing Athena and they just used it to animate on

[@robotetanus]

Why does it have to be Sanctuary? I'm sure they made more then one of those mining Vessels and Dahl is mining on the moon...

[@hothotdoritos]

gonna have to do this. glad for athena's health regen, should make the trip easily possible.

[@TKailan]

i would say, its for movie scenes plaiced there, so they don't hav to create a new area for that. that happens in many games

[@Rhaelyxs]

1:50 You can use Fragtrap character for infinite air

[@TofuRabbit]

Oh yes I forgot to mention that cookies are extremely delicious.

[@TheConchNorris]

It might be there for the intro and outros of the story mode? Maybe? I dunno.

[@sme1namedhannah]

"You're gonna run out of air" Me:unless you claptrap

[@PhilBaker2366]

It's not THE Sanctuary from BL2 - its just another of the Dahl mining vessels in the same line.

[@Cygnuss22]

It's either another DAHL mining ship that looks exactly like sanctuary, or Sanctuary was on the moon before borderlands 2. Because we never actually see sanctuary in borderlands

[@kaithorpe5279]

Sanctuary was already meant to fly as a dig sight , so they could of gone to the moon to dig or to help with the invading or the Hyperion moon base

[@thebigguy464]

Maybe it was when you were doing the mission and it disappeared then it came back from an unknown location

[@Thecounterstrikeist]

Sanctuary was daul's "finest mining barge" implying that there were others. This is probably just another mining barge.

[@pandalv123]

I think that it will be a DLC something like training facility for invasion into sanctuary

[@playerofgames2572]

sanctuary is a mining ship of sorts, so it could have been mining for moonstones or something on elpis, and after this it went to pandora

In Borderlands, Sanctuary is inaccessible for several reasons. Helena Pierce tells the Vault Hunters that she has cut off access to Sanctuary because of Baron Flynt's presence in The Salt Flats, and that she didn't want innocent people getting killed by his tribe and their "infernal contraption". After Baron Flynt's demise, Crimson Lance forces under Commandant Steele's command fight the bandit inhabitants of the city. borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Sanctuary

well dahl use to use sanctuary as a mining robot thingy so maybe they have more then one sanctuary

[@RiveryJerald]

Dahl gtfo'ed from Pandora before the events of BL1. TPS takes place after BL1, after the General Knoxx DLC. So its impossible for it to be on EPLIS as Crimson Lance have it in control and Crimson Raiders dont exist yet in TPS. And there is ONLY 1 SANCTUARY cause every ship has a unique name, and its never is the same to avoid confusion

[@Bathios13579]

its probably where they perform the cut scenes that take place in sanctuary

[@chris0the0hyena]

probably just re-used the model to have an easy and large set of background buildings

Maybe whilst dahl was on the moon they used sanctuary to mine moonstones before destroying the moon entirely and thats why its there

[@simontye179]

Wasn't Sanctuary built on/around a mining ship? Might be more than one such ships or something looking like it. Could have landed such on the moon. Or it could be a mapper smokin' something interesting, because it is so far outside the _current_ playing area.

Just spotted DJRocks20's already mentioned the Dahl ship. Carry on. :)
