Hilarious Fallout 4 Glitch Makes Cait Use a Shotgun in a Really Weird Way

A Fallout 4 player online has discovered a bizarre glitch that causes Cait to use her shotgun in a strange way that was certainly not intended by the developer. Cait is one of the most popular companions in Fallout 4, with her complex flaws making her an extremely compelling character to explore the Commonwealth alongside.

The companions in Fallout 4 are an interesting bunch, although Cait retains a strong argument for being the ultimate fan favorite. Her imperfections are clear from the outset, and the game does a great job of allowing players to help her along with her own personal journey. The Fallout series has lots of amazing side quests, but Cait's companion quest can definitely stand with some of the very best the franchise has to offer.

Redditor Dan_139 shared the funny glitch, which shows popular Fallout 4 companion Cait using her shotgun to stir a pot of food. It isn't clear what is causing the problem in-game, although many in the thread did point out that it would be totally in character for Cait to act like this, with one player describing it as «forbidden wasteland pepper.» She's certainly a fiery personality, so using a shotgun to prepare food definitely wouldn't be out of the question in the harsh world of Fallout.

In Bethesda games, glitches are an expected part of the experience. For years now, gamers have made fun of the abundance of strange bugs that can be found in Bethesda titles, to the point where it has become a meme in the community, with players always looking for the next hilarious bug to make fun of. In this regard, Fallout 4 did not disappoint at all. Bugs in the game come in all shapes and sizes, including one Fallout 4 glitch that turns Nick Valentine into a Jet addict. At this point, most game-breaking bugs have been patched out of the game, so it's easier to see the funny side of these types of problems with the game.

While experienced players are still finding new glitches in Fallout 4, the wait continues for more news on a potential sequel. With Bethesda seemingly focused on The Elder Scrolls 6 at the moment, it'll likely be several years yet before anything concrete is learned about a possible Fallout 5. Fortunately, fans of the franchise can still expect a lot from Fallout in 2024, with the upcoming TV series promising to be a highlight.

Fallout 4 is an RPG in the Fallout series, being the fourth major installment. This time around, players are in The Commonwealth, formerly Massachusetts, in the year 2287.
