'Abuse It While You Can' — Borderlands 4 Has an Infinite Damage Build So Broken It Kills Bosses in Seconds

Borderlands 4 players person discovered an infinite harm physique truthful breached it kills bosses successful seconds — adjacent connected the hardest trouble levels.

As reported by PC Gamer, YouTuber NickTew released gameplay showing a Vex physique that makes a mockery of Borderlands 4’s toughest enemies. And present the physique is spreading similar wildfire, fans are convinced Gearbox volition soon nerf it into the ground. So, arsenic NickTew suggested: “abuse it portion you can.”

To marque this physique enactment you request the Vampiric Vivisecting Throwing Knife with the Penetrator Augment. Land a deed with this weapon and consequent harm to the people are automatic captious hits for 5 seconds.

It conscionable trivialises the crippled to the constituent that the guns don’t adjacent substance anymore. Just use the penetrator debuff and bleed and past ticker it spell exponential successful damage. Probably not an enactment the devs picked up connected successful equilibrium testing.”
