Event Pillar Seed Bug ???

[CptnSpandex]

I had a gunner today chuck a shield down and once we had broken the pillar the seed floated up and instantly died, all 3 health bars gone and event done without even shooting 1 bullet at it !!!, like what the hell is this wizardry.

Yeah it's an exploit to instantly beat the corestone event, the shield breaks the spawning algorithm for the core rift thingies which triggers the event's self-destruct failsafe. I've had it happen to me without anyone actually using a shield, it was just naturally in a spot where the algorithm would fail.

Why have the dev's not done anything to stop peeps exploiting this, or is it just now a feature haha.

I was expecting it to be patched by now, I'm sure they are going to fix it eventually, hopefully with some other changes to the event as well.

The event is fine, just that exploit needs fixing.

from the development Q&A[deeprockgalactic.wiki.gg]:

Gameplay Fix the Core Stone shield exploit It should be already fixed internally, the question is when it will be rolled out (likely September) 08.08.2024

So you see, the gunners shield actually contains it, they use the same tech in the pods sent down to retrieve it. So it is working as intended.

Easiest way to cover up a glitch or exploit, add some lore to it haha :D.
