This new Borderlands 3 DLC icon is getting noticed by many, some people are speculating this new spider icon to be related to the Maliwan Takedown Shakedown event, but that is not the case. The gamers are considering that many months ago, the game was 'Datamined' and a Minigame called Citizen Science was discovered. The minigame is an unreleased pixel RPG that a player could play on Sanctuary III. The players can play as several characters such as; Tina, Mordecai, Lilith, Brick, Claptrap, Ellie, and Tannis. People can also get pickups and therefore bonuses to your actual character.

However, it seems the Borderlands 3 DLC purple icon is bugged and is accidentally added in the new update 1.10.
