Norton’s sledgehammer is finally yours to wield.
There’s little chance we’ll ever see a sequel to Bully, but there are still secrets to be found in Rockstar’s fondly-remembered schoolyard sim. A whole new weapon was recently discovered in the 2006 open-world game, one that’s been locked tantalisingly away from players for more than 20 years. Now though, players can get their grubby mitts on it thanks to a glitch discovered by a YouTuber.
Said YouTuber is JustGarrison, who, in a zingy twist of irony, stumbled upon the glitch during a pacifist run of Bully. JustGarrison’s plan to complete the game without fighting anyone ran smoothly until he encountered Norton, a boss players must defeat during the mission ‘The Tenements’. It’s here where JustGarrison inadvertently unlocked the weapon—a sledgehammer that was previously only usable during the boss fight.
During the boss fight, Norton tries to bash Jimmy’s head in with the sledgehammer. But once Norton is defeated, Jimmy can equip the sledgehammer and use it to retrieve some key quest items through the medium of smashing. That’s all he can do with it, however.
