The *Borderlands* games are known for hiding fun references to other movies, shows, and characters as easter eggs. *Borderlands 4* continues this trend by bringing back a fan-favorite easter egg: “Tannis on a Fish,” which appeared in earlier games. Players can find it fairly quickly, but they’ll need to detonate a specific sequence of explosive barrels to unlock both the easter egg and the “Cut That Out” trophy.
Where to Find the “Tannis of a Fish” Easter Egg in Borderlands 4 (Cut That Out Trophy)
Okay, so I just finished the tutorial in *Borderlands 4* and immediately ran into something cool. After the opening bit, you end up in this town called the Launchpad – it’s the first place you meet a bunch of NPCs. If you head west from there, towards the beach, there’s a spot on the map where you can find Tannis. It’s like an Easter egg right after you finish learning the ropes!

When you arrive, you’ll see a small hut on the beach surrounded by five barrels, each containing a different element. To activate the Tannis and Fish easter egg, you need to destroy these barrels in a specific sequence.

With five barrels to choose from, figuring out the correct order on your own would take 120 tries. But to save you time, here’s the solution for triggering the Tannis on a Fish easter egg in *Borderlands 4*.
Order | Color of the Barrel | Element | Location |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Green | Corrosive | Leftmost barrel |
2 | Light Blue | Cryo | Rightmost barrel |
3 | Red | Incendiary | Leftmost barrel close to the ocean |
4 | Dark Blue | Shock | Rightmost barrel close to the ocean |
5 | Yellow | Radiation | Middle barrel is close to the ocean |

If you destroy the barrels in the correct sequence, a cardboard figure of Handsome Jack, the famous villain from *Borderlands 2*, will appear. Shortly after, you’ll see Dr. Patricia Tannis on a fish, also as a cardboard cutout. Following this brief display, fireworks will fill the area, and you’ll earn the Cut It Out trophy in *Borderlands 4*.
