The Noisy Cricket is one of the most powerful pistols in Borderlands 4, known for its high damage and unique recoil effect. If you’re looking to add this weapon to your collection, here’s everything you need to know about where to find it and how to farm it efficiently.
What is the Noisy Cricket Pistol?
The Noisy Cricket is a Legendary Order Pistol that shoots a radial sonic wave, causing great kinetic damage to a group of enemies. With every shot, the user will be pushed back a bit, dealing great damage, all while being a bit risky to use. The power of every shot compensates for the small magazine size and slow reload speed.
The flavor text describes the weapon as “Feel like I’m gonna break this damn thing!” This is a great representation of the weapon since the recoil and power are very strong, suggesting devastation.
Where to Find the Noisy Cricket Pistol in Borderlands 4?
In the Fadefields region of Kairos which contains the Flamefields sub-region, The Drip Ripper Drill Site is where you will obtain the Noisy Cricket.
Defeat the boss Sidney Pointylegs, who is located at the drill site. After gaining access to the Flamefields region, you will be able to access the drill site where Sidney Pointylegs spawns.
To access this location, ensure that you’ve entered the Fadefields sub-region, the Hungering Plains. Once done, you can find the drill site where Sidney Pointylegs appears.
How to Get the Noisy Cricket Pistol in Borderlands 4?
To obtain the Noisy Cricket, you must defeat Sidney Pointylegs, located at the Prospects Drill Site. Since the weapon drop is random, you might need to defeat this boss several times.
After every defeat, you can instantly replay the fight by using Moxxi’s Big Encore Machine located near the arena’s entrance. This allows you to fight Sidney Pointylegs as many times as needed without any interruptions. Keep this cycle until the Noisy Cricket you need happens to drop.
Even though Sidney Pointylegs has the highest drop chance for the Noisy Cricket, you can also obtain the weapon from any of the following legendary loot sources as a random drop:
- Red chests
- Golden key chests
- Other bosses throughout the game
If you’re farming efficiently, use a high-damage build to clear fights faster and maximize your drop chances.
