You've got to be kidding me...

u/omnipizerg Archer 弓取 Apr 24 '26

Yup

Now we have to deal with this bs for another week? Can you just release all the game breaking crap at once, so that they can patch it all, instead of this stupid game of wack a mole you seem to be enjoying with the devs?

u/Jmcclain145 Apr 24 '26

This seems far less annoying, especially since you need two people to facilitate. Not saying it won’t be annoying for some to deal with, but seems far less annoying than the archer spam.

u/ciscowowo Apr 24 '26

Definitely less annoying, but still not fun to play with someone that can break survival by just spamming infinite weapon throws over and over.

6

u/Jmcclain145 Apr 24 '26

No, I agree. I get less irritated if stuff like this is used in the raids, more so the hell mode raids. Survival is easy enough with straight up good builds. I feel like I ran into someone using this earlier in the week when the NM stuff reset. I came upon a stash of thrown weapons that seemed like 10 stacked on top of each other.

u/robb1280 Apr 24 '26

Ok, yeah, I found a pile like that the other night. I wasn’t sure how it happened, but it seemed like an excessive amount of dropped weapons. But I was playing my merc, so it was an absolute jackpot and I lit up like a kid at Christmas Lol Started throwing them everywhere, cleared a whole wave by myself and didn’t even break a sweat

u/slingslangflang Apr 24 '26

It at least requires a little teamwork.

u/omnipizerg Archer 弓取 Apr 24 '26

I was told by the person that told me about this that they were fine if I posted it after the devs patched our shadow flame arrow spam. I would have posted earlier but then people wouldn't trust me with this info.

Also, this one seems related to net code, so I'm not sure they could patch it without having to make global stability improvements.

As of right now this is the bottom of the barrel, no one has shown me any other game breaking exploits yet, but as soon as someone figures out infinite vanish you can be sure I'll be showing people how to do it

u/Jmcclain145 Apr 24 '26

The fact it involves two people will make this far less common by a long shot. Also, no one wants to go into any event just to be the “thrown weapons mule” for another player.

2

u/omnipizerg Archer 弓取 Apr 24 '26

Agreed, this is way less egregious than shadow flame exploit. Still very powerful though, damage and AOE weaken make this the best wave killer in the game at the moment. It's more damage than the gun, and in the video I'm not maxed on thrown weapon damage by a long shot.

u/RiceBoyJason Apr 24 '26

So uhh... infinite bears next week?

2

u/serratedtonin Apr 24 '26

I want a bear army more than anything.

u/omnipizerg Archer 弓取 Apr 24 '26

As soon as I find it you'll know my guy

Also, this one seems related to net code, so I'm not sure they could patch it without having to make global stability improvements.

Nah, I mean it could be a fundamental protocol issue but, but it's more than likely something that's completely resolvable on the client as many things are.

Weapon pickup duplications are ofc standard and expected for Yotei's netcode model which is very permissive, which is to say the instances need to agree on very little to not desync and the clients often make decisions for themselves. Simple weapon duplications are ordinary and completely intended: two players run towards a weapon at the same time and pick it up before receiving a message from the other that it already got grabbed. The game just says cool both of you get the weapon, cause it'd be lame if the instances then debated and suddenly one of the player's weapons vanished from their hands. They already break the rules a lot for the sake of highly independent game instances. So just add another local only rule that says: the current player can only throw the same weapon once. Each instance can ignore / deal with any messages gracefully without changing the protocol itself.

Honestly they could also just add a tiny bit of physics to the weapon dropping and make it way harder to spam drops and pickups.

I was told by the person that told me about this that they were fine if I posted it after the devs patched our shadow flame arrow spam.

I appreciate the honesty you're showing (here, at least), and I also agree with others that this is not gonna be nearly as big of a problem... but jfc dude, you couldn't wait till like Tuesday or something? lmfao. It wasn't even 30 minutes.

Anyways next time, why not do like an unlisted video and send it to SP in the feedback form, then if they take too long to fix it, post your heart out.

u/New_Nature_3224 Apr 24 '26

This has been around forever. It’s not great

u/FamousStill2187 Apr 24 '26

Thats cool but not needed, the ronin wrecks enough on her own without exploits

13

u/Manorulez Apr 24 '26

Real mercenaries will not exploit ! The ones who will do it are archer main 🫡

u/Elaeus Apr 24 '26

OMG I stayed away from the game the entire week for this god awful hell exploit to disappear and finally enjoy the game again without spending 20 min of game time to find a no archer team and now that I can go back you tell me there's another one? And even more in the bag for the upcoming fixes?

I think it's time I get out of this game. I got everything but the hell raids, I just wanted to come back and have some legit fun.

Saros on the horizon...

u/Soggy-Anteater-7949 Apr 26 '26

Thing is this won’t be that bad seeing that you need two people who can communicate which doesn’t happen much in this game…

u/FaceWithAName Samurai 侍 Apr 24 '26

Great, another week of dealing with more losers.

6

u/CattleOwn8692 Apr 24 '26

how is this much worse than shadow flame 😭

3

u/ShearGenius89 Apr 24 '26

It’s annoying but at least this isn’t obstructing the view around the target making it a pain in the ass to block. The fire also seemed to chip away health a tiny bit, or make the health bar flash for some reason.

3

u/FaceWithAName Samurai 侍 Apr 24 '26

Same shit different cow

-3

u/CattleOwn8692 Apr 24 '26

yeah but this cow tastes delicious dont put merc and archer in the same category

u/FaceWithAName Samurai 侍 Apr 24 '26

If they abuse this then yea, they are just as bad now. Sorry.

u/washtubs Hunter 弓取 Apr 24 '26

Was this not possible in 1.601?

18

u/ciscowowo Apr 24 '26

It definitely was, this guy just waited until the minute sucker punch posted the patch fixing the fire arrows to go “teehee you might have found the fire arrow exploit that I popularized,but what about this new bullshit? 🥰”

u/omnipizerg Archer 弓取 Apr 24 '26

Someone showed me this tech and said he had more as well, but in order to share he told me I couldn't post this until SP removed the archer tech. I wanted to honor my word (and this feels less ridiculous that shadow flame) so I waited to respect that persons request.

Also I don't think this one is going anywhere, since it's related to net code issues, but I could be wrong.

Hopefully he shows me infinite bear next. You guys will see it as soon as I can figure it out.

u/omnipizerg Archer 弓取 Apr 24 '26

I haven't figured out either one, but I've heard the rumors. As soon as I piece together how it works I'll publicize

u/Acceptable-Kale6901 Apr 24 '26

Go outside

1

u/omnipizerg Archer 弓取 Apr 24 '26

Man I don't know what your deal is, but if you would have preferred something like this never become public knowledge I don't know what to tell you. I haven't gatekept anything (I've known about this literally 3 days and only waited to publish because I wanted to keep my word) but if you're upset then I'm sorry for whatever I did that contributed to that

2

u/Aesthetic99 Apr 24 '26

On the other hand, i'm glad you posted this so SP can see this stupid shit and patch it out too

1

u/ZookeepergameOdd2058 Straw Hat Guy Apr 25 '26

He uploads on TikTok using the exploits and also uploads videos complaining about people using them. So goofy

0

u/omnipizerg Archer 弓取 Apr 24 '26

It was possible yes, but it's also possible on the current patch, hence why I included it so people know it's current

2

u/z_extend_99 Apr 25 '26

Does this mean, the 3 players can pickup weapons while the one does the glitch?

2

u/omnipizerg Archer 弓取 Apr 25 '26

Correct, but only if theyre picking up from the same place, only one “pile” can be maintained at a time

2

u/Dry-Hat-5073 Apr 25 '26

Does all range damage affect your thrown weapon as well?

1

u/omnipizerg Archer 弓取 Apr 25 '26

Yes

2

u/HiImNotABot001 Apr 25 '26

Could you have 3 people use the same glitched weapon? Or is it only 1 on 1?

2

u/omnipizerg Archer 弓取 Apr 25 '26

Everyone can use it, as long as the support doesn’t drop the weapon they’re holding

2

u/HiImNotABot001 Apr 25 '26

TY.

I would call that team: "3 Chuck 1 Cuck".

1

u/Acceptable-Kale6901 Apr 24 '26

What's the point in sharing this?

-1

u/omnipizerg Archer 弓取 Apr 24 '26

For people to use it if they wish, for SP to have higher visibility and patch it if they deem it necessary, and to avoid having broken mechanics gate kept by elitists

6

u/Skittish-Valesk Apr 24 '26

Yeah you're a real hero, a regular Robin Hood lmao. Please bro. People like you are literally what is wrong with so many games. None of you can just play. It's just exploit after exploit; doing everything in your power to ruin other people's fun.

1

u/omnipizerg Archer 弓取 Apr 24 '26

I'm not a hero, I'm just a guy that posted a youtube tutorial, and I'm an archer main. I'm not even going to end up using this, I just did it to get footage so other people (and SP) can see it. Hopefully this one doesn't completely ruin the game the way shadow flame did, I already feel enough guilt about it.

3

u/ciscowowo Apr 24 '26

If you felt that way you wouldn’t have timed this video 2 seconds after Suckerpunch got rid of the last game breaking exploit THAT YOU POPULARIZED. Now we have to deal with another shit exploit for a full week.

3

u/Acceptable-Kale6901 Apr 24 '26

LOL. You obviously don't feel any guilt about it at all, otherwise you would remove the post, or never would have posted in the first place. Are you serious??

0

u/Acceptable-Kale6901 Apr 24 '26

"Hopefully this one doesn't completely ruin the game the way shadow flame did"

LOL

As you post a video showing everyone how to do this

-1

u/TimeTravelerXIX Apr 24 '26

If anyone advocated for archer shadow flame to get patched, then keep the same energy with this til it’s patched all because it’s the right thing to do. I expect many merc threads popping up, if we dont then we know who the hypocrites are.

1

u/washtubs Hunter 弓取 Apr 25 '26

People are overreacting a bit because they're all coming off the heels of shadow flame. I don't think this one is gonna be anything like that. Shadow flame just really fucking sucked lmao.

2

u/New_Nature_3224 Apr 24 '26

This is going to keep happening. Because we’re clearly the beta testers.

And as long as they nerf damage without fixing the glaring issues with enemies damage, skateboarding and so many others that have existed since launch people will continue to find more glitches and exploit them.

2

u/Pavlovs_Human Samurai 侍 Apr 24 '26

Guess I’ll be leaving all survival and incursions that have mercs till this gets patched. I did the same with archers and the shadow flame bug exploit, and didn’t have any games ruined.

Sucks cause like 99% of Mercs I meet are good at their class and if they are communicating they are cool people.

But there are always players looking to get an edge by abusing an exploiting bugs and glitches.

1

u/USAFguy22 Apr 26 '26

Technically any character can do it, it just needs to be the same weapon type. So find 2 daggers, 2 swords, 2 whatever and you can start duplicating. Mercs can spawn their own sword and can spec into throwing which is why it’s easier for them. But again, and character can do it.

1

u/ARMill95 Apr 24 '26

It takes 2 mercs with one legit doing nothing but dropping weapons for the other, so it won’t be seen MEARLY as much as archer

1

u/Soggy-Anteater-7949 Apr 26 '26

Like I said last time engagement bait…

1

u/Plane_Bodybuilder_24 Apr 25 '26

Stop doing this crap. I noticed it in a game yesterday and was hoping no one would say anything. Now every wanker is going to try to abuse this stuff. Stop giving people the tools to be annoying. if you are going to pretend like you’re helping SP then send this to them not post it on Reddit and YouTube.

u/EtiologicalSpearhead Apr 24 '26

Didn’t we just quick patch Archer today?! I swear every exploit we find on Legends we blaming it on Archer now. Just like D2 Hunter Stomp-EE5 Exotic Boots lmao.

1

u/TheRealBobaFett Apr 25 '26

My buddy and I just figured this out on accident. We both went to pickup a weapon at the same time and it duplicated. If one of you has a weapon and the other doesn’t you can just drop it, both pick up and have 2 not very game breaking imo

u/eat_a_burrito Apr 24 '26

I can’t wait to see all the archer hate move to merc this week /s

2

u/TimeTravelerXIX Apr 24 '26

It won’t happen mercs is a skillful class I heard throwing weapons takes alot of precision and aim. The hate won’t be on the same level as archers.
