During the 2026 Halloween event in Elite Dangerous, players exploring the LFT 509 system have discovered a complex coded puzzle embedded in a series of messages. The fifth message, shared by a community member, features a recurring pattern where every eighth line is a slash ('/'), suggesting a deliberate cipher structure. Attempts to decode the message using common ciphers such as Morse code, binary, hexadecimal, octal, and Bacon cipher have so far been unsuccessful. This enigma has sparked collaborative efforts among commanders eager to unravel the mystery, adding a fresh layer of intrigue to the event. Solving the puzzle may reveal new insights or rewards tied to the Halloween festivities.
- Every eighth line in the message is a slash ('/'), possibly a key to the cipher.
- Decoding attempts with standard ciphers have not yet succeeded.
