Game exploits

Eric Chadwick

I've been having fun in my off hours exploring the edges of games, exploits to see "behind the curtain".

Here's a physics exploit in Watch Dogs 2, driving full speed into a forklift, which turns out to be a hell of a lot of fun, gets you to places the designers never intended:

Curious to hear what neat exploits you've found. Always love going out-of-bounds, seeing how the sausage is made lol.

I don't think I've ever found an exploit since exploit communities find them much faster than me, but googling for them is one of my favourite things to do. Bethesda & Fromsoft games especially. In Path of Exile (in the first couple of years),  you could even download Exilebot, have it run overnight and wake up to a full stash of skillgems and currency. Not like I had any experience with that whatsoever!

I finished my 4,100 hour playthrough of Elden Ring by camping invaders on top of the First Step site of grace, and in one of my streams I think there was a chainsaw standoff where I fought another exploiter in PvP using the chainsaw exploit with the same exploit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8VEvytaGYA

I also did a SL1 playthrough of DS3 by killing bosses before entering the fog gates iirc using the Millwood Greatbow's skill which could glitch through the gates due to the animation. I bet there's a sizeable overlap between exploiters and game devs.
