A hotfix for Borderlands 3 has addressed the screams during the boss fight with Troy Calypso. His constant shouting was apparently quite annoying to some players.
What is it about? Boss fights are an essential part of the gameplay in the new shooter Borderlands 3. It adds excitement when the bosses curse or make remarks during the fights.
Some of the bosses show through screams that you are really hurting them. One of the bosses was practically constantly screaming during his fight. He just wouldn’t stop. This really annoyed some players. So Gearbox has now implemented a hotfix that quiets the boss.

The boss Troy Calypso screams less now
What bothered? If you played against Troy Calypso in Borderlands 3 before the hotfix, you might have noticed an annoying feature. The guy seemed to take particular joy in showing players how much he suffers.
Some players found that funny and joked about the encounter. Others found it irritating or bothersome.
In the following video, you can see the fight against Troy and listen to how much he enjoyed screaming before the hotfix:
In the YouTube comments, a viewer writes “13 minutes of him screaming” and gives a thumbs down.
What the hotfix brought: In the forum, the developers write that they removed the “pain sounds” from Troy in his boss fight. It should now be much quieter for you when fighting against the guy.
What do players say about the screams?
They found it funny: A player writes on Reddit that it is absolutely funny how humanoid bosses scream when you attack them with elemental effects.
He found it best with Troy Calypso and Aurelia. Because they keep throwing strong remarks like “Let’s finish this” or “Let me show you what I’m capable of” and then immediately start screaming in pain.
One player writes that it annoyed him at first, but he now enjoys it.
What annoyed: Other players found these screams not funny at all and wrote (via Reddit) that the developers should remove them. One wrote:
“These are supposed to be epic boss fights and then you hear nothing but “arrgh” “urggh”, “arrgh”, “grrruughhh”, “ARRRRGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!! […]” for 5 to 10 minutes.
With normal enemies, it wouldn’t be so bad, the player writes, because they die faster.
What do you say about it? Did the screaming from Troy bother you, or did you find the fight fun because of it?
By the way, the hotfix also nerfed important loot sources:
