Borderlands 4 - Recoil Nullification Trick (Deadeye Firmware Bug)
0The first tier on the Deadeye firmware (Gun Accuracy +30%) has this neat oversight where it applies recoil reduction on your equipped weapons without limit. Every time you swap guns or fire modes it stacks more recoil reduction to your equipped guns, continuing until there's seemingly no recoil whatsoever. If unequip your Deadeye firmware gear, it doesn't remove the recoil reduction, only slotting in a new weapon resets it, and only for the slot you equipped. This reduction also resets when you exit to main menu and load your save.
How-to:
1. Equip a piece of gear with the Deadeye firmware (blue eye icon on the item card)
2. Swap your weapons back and forth, or toggle their alternate fire modes repeatedly for a while, the longer you do it the stronger the effect
That's literally all you need to do, you'll trigger it by pure coincidence more than likely. Just keep in mind equipping a new gun will require you to swap your guns around for it to (re)gain the recoil reduction.
