Borderlands 4 players are utilizing a new glitch known as "cricket jumping" to navigate large portions of the map quickly, particularly at The Prospects’ Ripper Drill site. This technique allows players to launch their characters through the air, leveraging Borderlands 4's glide ability. Gearbox's Creative Director, Graeme Timmins, has acknowledged the glitch but indicated that it may be patched in the future if it leads to technical issues. Meanwhile, players have expressed concerns about the game's console performance, notably slower frame rates that become apparent after extended gameplay sessions. Gearbox is prioritizing performance upgrades, particularly for PC, where significant stuttering has been reported. Players are encouraged to optimize their graphics settings while waiting for updates.

Will "cricket jumping" be patched in Borderlands 4?

While Gearbox has noted it may take action if "cricket jumping" causes technical problems, for now, they’re allowing players to enjoy it without intervention.
