Die Maschine — The Coffin Dance

Five glowing Dark Aether orbs hide around Die Maschine’s particle accelerator; shoot them all and the team is whisked to a Dark Aether tableau of four zombies performing the Coffin Dance meme, crate on their shoulders, "Disco of the Dead" playing. The crate they drop is genuinely worth the trip — salvage, equipment, and a random-rarity weapon.

Spoilers: low

How it starts

Trigger

Shoot all five Dark Aether orbs after power and Pack-a-Punch are active.

What to do

Steps

  1. 01

    Find the orbs around the accelerator: behind a vent near Elemental Pop, behind a desk chair by the terminals, in the barrier corner under Pack-a-Punch, on machinery across from the wall-buy, and by the Weapons Lab entrance.

  2. 02

    Shoot the fifth and enjoy the teleport.
