"The bug relies on a legendary handgun known as the "Noisy Cricket" and its powerful kick, which sends players 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. Normally, this isn't the most useful trait. But if you tab out or pause the game at the right time while charging up a shot with the Noisy Cricket, you can send yourself flying for miles."
"Cricket Jumping has been a known bug since at least September 16, as demonstrated in this short video uploaded by YouTube user Platinum. But it wasn't until Bahroo and other bigger streamers and creators began sharing videos of the technique that it caught on more and became more publicly known. And that attention eventually got Cricket Jumping spotted by Borderlands 4′ s creative director Graeme Timmins."
"While you might assume someone from Gearbox would not be happy about this bug, Timmins seemed open to not patching it out, provided it doesn't break the game. "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.""
A bug called Cricket Jumping uses the legendary Noisy Cricket handgun's strong recoil to launch players across Borderlands 4's map when players tab out or pause while charging a shot. The technique appeared in a September 16 video and gained wider attention after Twitch streamer Bahroo shared a clip on September 19, followed by other creators. The bug's viral spread drew a response from Gearbox creative director Graeme Timmins, who said he is monitoring the issue and will only act if it causes streaming problems or game instability. For now, the exploit remains available.
