Borderlands 4 players on the PC are now able to download a little mod that’ll add a particularly famous meme to the game, in spite of the narrative director’s public woes.
That’s right, the Skibidi Toilet mod can be downloaded on Nexusmods right now. This mod will add the infamous Skibidi Toilet face to in-game toilets, bringing everyone’s fears to life. The mod was created by EpicNNG, developer and Borderlands content creator.
The reason this jokey mod is of note is thanks to Borderlands 4 narrative director Sam Winkler’s comments on the game’s tone prior to launch. On social media, Winkler said that the “toilet humour” present in Borderlands 3 would be toned down, and stated: “if the word skibidi ships in the game under my watch I’m gonna cry real tears”.
So while Sam Winkler has been able to sleep peacefully knowing Borderlands 4 hasn’t shipped with any especially cringeworthy gags, it seems certain corners of the Borderlands community have long memories. People say having open communication to developers is great for community building and strong ties to the folks making the experiences gamers love. The real reason is obviously this: to create mods to torment them.
It actually gets worse for Winkler, who also stated: “Paul Tassi joked that we were gonna have a gun called Hawk 2A and a fellow dev asked me if it was real and I wanted to put my hand down the sink grinder”. EpicNNG posted on X that “Hawk 2A is next”, so here’s hoping any Borderlands 4 DLC is written up and ready to go before Winkler does something drastic.
If this has somehow convinced you to try out Borderlands 4, why not check out our Borderlands 4 review! In it reviewer Rick Lane concludes: “Borderlands 4 brings a more sensible script and a true open world to its pseudo-cel-shaded gun-show. But these moderate improvements are undermined by frustrating exploration and combat that takes too long to properly shine.”
