Borderlands 4 includes a slider that lets you mute Claptrap.
Claptrap, for those unaware, is Gearbox’s talkative robot companion who is often considered to be the Borderlands series’ mascot. He first popped up in the original Borderlands game, and was most recently voiced by Jack Black in the Borderlands film adaptation.
While Claptrap can be a source of comic relief, some players have found him a tad annoying, and now Gearbox has come up with a solution to quite literally dial him down a touch: that aforementioned Borderlands 4 slider.
This slider will allow players to adjust Claptrap’s volume, from 100 percent to mute. Teasing the feature, Borderlands 4 narrative director Sam Winkler said: “I wrote some lines just for this feature and it includes maybe the dumbest most niche reference to a certain terrible accent in a certain classic immersive sim.”
