The Borderlands franchise is known for its recurring characters, and perhaps none stand out quite as much as Claptrap. This loud and eccentric little robot has long since stood as the series’ mascot for good reason, with his endearing charm and infectious good mood. But there’s no denying he can be a bit loud at times–and that certainly hasn’t changed in Borderlands 4. But what if you could change that?
Claptrap may not be as prevalent in this new entry as he has been in some other titles in the looter shooter franchise, but his presence is still consistent enough in Borderlands 4 to warrant a rather unique slider among all the other settings. For those who find this quirky guy more of a nuisance than a lovable goof, Gearbox has added a way to adjust his volume separately from all other volumes. Yeah, you can shut Claptrap up altogether if you want.
We can sense your excitement, so we’ll tell you how to turn down Claptrap’s voice in Borderlands 4.
How to turn off Claptrap’s voice in Borderlands 4
To turn off Claptrap’s voice in Borderlands 4, pause the game and head to the “Options” menu. Scroll over one time to “Audio”, then select “Advanced”. On this menu, scroll to the very bottom to find a setting called “Claptrap?”
As you can see, you can adjust Claptrap’s voice to make him quieter, or you can decrease the volume to zero so you’ll never hear a peep from him again. You’ll still be able to read his subtitles so that you know what he’s saying when you pick up certain collectibles or engage in quests with him, so you’re not really missing anything by turning him all the way down.
Whether you decide to mute Claptrap is entirely up to you, but don’t ever tell him you’ve taken these measures. He may be slightly annoying sometimes, but the poor little guy doesn’t deserve to have his feelings hurt.
