The Horror in the Woods - Humor Claptrap | Borderlands 3: Guns, Love, and Tentacles | As Moze

Borderlands 3 is a chaotic, cel-shaded looter-shooter renowned for its irreverent humor and endless arsenal of outlandish weaponry. The *Guns, Love, and Tentacles* DLC plunges players into a Lovecraftian-themed wedding on the icy planet Xylourgos, blending cosmic horror with the series' signature wit. A pivotal mission within this expansion, “The Horror in the Woods,” sees the Vault Hunter venturing through the eerie Cankerwood in pursuit of a monstrous Wendigo, a hunt crucial for saving the groom, Wainwright Jakobs, from a curse. Amidst the tense search for the beast, and after navigating treacherous paths and battling peculiar flora, a classic Borderlands moment of levity arises. Following a successful defense against enemies, players encounter Claptrap, the series' ever-present, often irritating, robot companion. The objective shifts abruptly from tracking a mythical creature to the wonderfully absurd task of "Humor Claptrap." This typically involves a brief, nonsensical interaction, a line of dialogue that panders to his need for validation, or a simple action to get him out of the way. This interlude is a prime example of Claptrap's role: a walking, talking punchline. He exists to inject humor, however groan-worthy, into any situation. In the context of a horror-tinged mission focused on hunting a terrifying Wendigo, his sudden appearance and the mandatory “humor” objective serves as a jarring, yet characteristically Borderlands, disruption. It’s a moment of pure, unadulterated claptrap (pun intended) that breaks the tension and reminds players of the game’s inherently silly nature before they delve back into the dark and dangerous woods to face the true horror.
