A newly found bug in open-world looter shooter Borderlands 4 is letting gamers use a selected legendary gun to fling themselves throughout giant sections of the sport’s map. It appears wild and could possibly be helpful for speedrunners. However Gearbox is watching the glitch and would possibly, if wanted, repair it to keep away from technical issues.
On September 19, Twitch streamer and content material creator Bahroo shared a video of himself enjoying Borderlands 4 whereas pulling off a way identified on-line as “Cricket Jumping.” The bug depends on a legendary handgun referred to as the “Noisy Cricket” and its highly effective kick, which sends gamers flying backward. The gun itself is a reference to the tiny gun with the same name seen in the ’90s sci-fi comedy film Men In Black. Usually, this isn’t probably the most helpful trait. However in case you tab out or pause the sport on the proper time whereas charging up a shot with the Noisy Cricket, you may ship your self flying for miles. It’s wild to observe in motion.
Cricket Leaping has been a identified bug since at the very least September 16, as demonstrated in this short video uploaded by YouTube person Platinum. Nevertheless it wasn’t till Bahroo and different greater streamers and creators started sharing movies of the method that it caught on extra and have become extra publicly identified. And that focus finally obtained Cricket Leaping noticed by Borderlands 4′s inventive director Graeme Timmins. When you would possibly assume somebody from Gearbox wouldn’t be completely happy about this bug, Timmins appeared open to not patching it out, supplied it doesn’t break the sport.
“I’ve got my eye on this,” replied Timmins to a video of the bug on Twitter. “My only worry is streaming issues or if this introduces instability. Not out to ruin people’s fun, but can’t have it cause tech issues. For now, tho, not going to do anything until proven issues arise.”
So for now, it looks like Gearbox goes to let folks Cricket Bounce throughout Kairos, assuming it doesn’t wreck the sport for different gamers or introduce some nasty, much less cool bug. In addition to, I think about Gearbox has a lot more to fix in Borderlands 4 proper now, like horrible console performance problems, and isn’t too involved a couple of foolish tremendous soar bug.
