The developers of Borderlands 4 have officially announced that they are putting an end to the annoying character — players will now be able to ignore Claptrap.
Claptrap is one of the most famous characters in the series. Fans remember the robotic companion from the first episode for its distinctive voice and obsessive manner of communication. У Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel was even playable for him. But despite the sympathy of part of the fanbase, he irritated the rest — because of his humor, repetitiveness, and hyperactive presentation.
And now, ten years later, the fans have managed to get Claptrap to finally shut up. The developers of Borderlands 4 have confirmed an option that allows you to change the volume of the robot’s voice from the standard level to complete silence. As shown by streamer and partner 2K Chadlya separate slider «Claptrap Volume» appeared in the sound menu. Later, narrative director Sam Winkler confirmed that this was not a joke, although he really wanted to troll the players.
«I suggested that it should be possible to set its volume from 0% to 200%, but it seems that the management said no», — wrote Borderlands 4 narrative director Sam Winkler.
