For a series that has always worried that she is going through shenanigans Borderlands 4 Perhaps in fact they took things too far in one area – though potentially not intentionally. Across the Reddit fibers, Discord channels and deep dives on YouTube, Borderlands 4 They noticed that they would spend hundreds of hours trying to collect every phosphen or a “glossy” weapon in the game just to come up with the fact that the container was mostly full. A total of 69, one for each legendary weapon in the game and is even in a game called “Shining the brightest” associated with the collection of each of them.
But what began as a praise for those who have enough time on their hands to survive that the gods RNG showed up how late it is impossible for everyone to achieve. Theoretically, it should be simple to complete the challenge and offer players who spend more time in a game with better chances to find a shiny weapon. But after tens of hours of agriculture (and hundreds, for some), even the most amazing players reach their heads on an increasingly heavier ceiling. Some shiny weapons Borderlands 4 They seem to refuse to appear, some will not register, and others are not even farmable from the right source, so those who poured countless hours into grind, feeling that they could never actually complete the shining brightest challenge.
The brightest can be the first really broken challenge Borderlands 4
Borderlands 4The shiny weapons were supposed to reward the game players, but instead became something like an anxiety dream for this rest, which means it is not a dream for those who do not have enough time to put them in the game. Gaining shiny weapons in Borderlands 4 It is extremely difficult, because the variant can only be found on legendary weapons that are incredibly rare. Community guides describe an agricultural process that can last hundreds of hours, while some players see only one or two shaving after driving a dozen boss Borderlands 4. Normally, such a challenge would be a big part of the excitement for devoted players, but as the next news comes, it seems that it could be less about RNG and more about how it is designed.
One Reddit user has published screen images showing 58 phosphhen weapons in their inventory, but the challenge in the game counted only 46. Others claim to have reached 66 or 67 out of 69 without moving forward, no matter how many runs they finish. To add all this, the missing items seem to be the same, with weapons such as bloody lumber, complex root and several weapons Moxxi are among those that no one has seen in the form of phosph. In other words, it begins to see that these specific weapons could never drop.
That's not all because the players reported unlocking shiny weapons on one safe hunter Borderlands 4 The system to prevent it from registering on another, and because the skin is supposed to be throughout the account, often desynchronizes. Since this comes the same items that are unlocked but are not attributed to the completion of Shining the brightest challenges and effectively locked players from success forever. It's a dead end, at least, but hopes it's just a mistake that can be easily crushed.
The transmission has not confirmed the problem but the evidence is there
Gearbox has not confirmed that no shiny weapons Borderland 4 are broken or untouched. Creative director Graeme Timmins pushed back on the theories of hidden fines or manipulated chances on a decline and said that the system is running completely on RNG. However, RNG does not explain why the whole types of weapons seem to be excluded from the challenge, or why the challenges does not progress even after players clearly acquire new shiny weapons. At the moment, there is only too much evidence that deny the existence of a full confidence problem.
As already mentioned, the struggle for a better performance in Borderlands 4 It continues across the album and takes place since the start. Given that there are still a lot of criminals in the system that need to be developed, it may only be a matter of time before the gearbox not only confirms the possible error in the shiny weapons system, but also releases the patch that solves the problem.
