The Crit Knife was initially too powerful in Borderlands 4, letting players defeat bosses incredibly quickly. This was done using a throwing knife combined with the ‘Penetrator’ upgrade, which guaranteed critical hits for a short time. Because the Crit Knife became the most effective strategy and outshined other builds, it was weakened in a patch on October 23, along with another item called the ‘horny BDSM shield’.
