Borderlands 4 has just been released, and with it comes a slew of unexpected glitches. One such bug has been uncovered by YouTuber NickTew, who demonstrated that with minimal skill points allocated toward gun damage, players can inflict staggering amounts of damage on bosses.
In his video, NickTew showcases his prowess against the Primordial Guardian Inceptus on the highest difficulty setting. His damage revealed the catastrophic ‘Total Existence Failure’ proc, even with only 25 skill points committed.
This exploit is triggered by a peculiar interaction involving the ‘Torgue - Licensed Sticky Magazine’ attachment and the taser alternate fire on certain weapons. The initial explosion damage skyrockets from an average of 5,000–10,000 to an astounding 300,000, radically changing gameplay dynamics.
