Witcher 3 Bug Features Hilarious Sledgehammer Between Legs

Nov 12, 2024 4:38 PM

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt continues to entertain fans even a decade after its release, notably due to a peculiar and enduring bug involving a floating sledgehammer that appears between Geralt's legs. This glitch, affectionately termed the "sledgehammer bug," has puzzled and amused players since the game’s debut, with no official fix offered by developers CD Projekt. Many players have reported the bug on forums, and while some have attempted to resolve it by reverting to older save files, there's no guaranteed solution. Despite this quirk, The Witcher 3 remains a critically acclaimed title and continues to receive a vibrant community response, highlighting its lasting impact on the gaming world.

How can I fix the sledgehammer bug in The Witcher 3?

Unfortunately, there is no guaranteed fix for the sledgehammer bug in The Witcher 3, as CD Projekt has moved on from supporting the game in favor of new projects. Players encountering the bug have had some success by reverting to earlier save files and deleting those that are infected, but results can vary.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, released in May 2015, is celebrated for its deep storytelling, vast open world, and intricate character development. As part of the Witcher franchise by CD Projekt Red, it has won numerous accolades and continues to engage players through community-created mods and updates, including its Next-Gen Update that revitalized the game for newer consoles. Anticipation builds for upcoming titles that will explore new stories and characters within the same richly crafted universe.
