Gearbox Software just released Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, the anticipated Borderlands spin-off title that shares some gameplay similarities and characters. Two Tiny Tina's Wonderlands players recently noticed an interesting detail about the game's spellcasting when the Red and Blue Meteor spells are used against a Skeleton Army at the exact same time.
Reddit user Firehornet117 posted a clip from their co-op adventure with a friend in the world of Tiny Tina's Wonderlands as they quest in Brighthoof, one of the early areas in the RPG. Fighting a swarm of enemies, these two players coincidentally cast similar spells at the same time to create a visual spectacle while defeating the Skeleton Army around them. Going above showing simply Firehornet117's perspective of the incident, their clip shows both players' point-of-view as if they were playing split-screen despite playing Tiny Tina's Wonderlands through online co-op.
Both angles of Firehornet117's clip show the meteor fall from the sky with a combination of red and blue which explodes on contact with shades of both colors and some orange mixed in. The defeated skeleton is flung backward from the combined meteoric impact, which may have been overkill for the underpowered Tiny Tina's Wonderlands enemy. The splash of elemental damage caused by the crashing meteors damages things in a local area, which is reflected from the perspective of both players as one of the player's shields takes significant damage from being in closer proximity to the blast and the other is barely phased.
Firehornet117's video is a showcase for the Brr-Zerker character in Tiny Tina's Wonderlands as one player slays an enemy with a Death Saver while another skeleton falls to the Brr-Zerker class skill Dreadwind which inflicts critical damage to all nearby enemies. The Brr-Zerker's ally is a Graveborn that fires a crossbow at their enemies without utilizing a class ability as its cooldown finishes. It seems like a coincidence when the two Tiny Tina's Wonderlands players perform a Meteor spell at the same time, but Firehornet117 has confirmed that the two players tried to time this move correctly for a few hours.
Although the two meteors blend together quite well in Firehornet117's Tiny Tina's Wonderlands clip, it's currently unclear whether this effect was intended by Gearbox or if it's a pleasant coincidence. Since gaining traction, Firehornet117's video has caused many Tiny Tina's Wonderlands players to marvel at the various lights and colors created by the two different meteors colliding with the obliterated enemy. One Tiny Tina's Wonderlands fan pointed out to Firehornet117 that playing the game as the Spellshot class opens up more potential for seeing how different spells interact with each other.
Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
