Just saw someone using bosco in a MP game named "Forte", only he could use him and I asked how he had bosco in a mp game he didnt say anything and ended the game shortly after. Assuming it is an exploit.

I'm guessing a new crack. While harmless DRG seems to be attracting people as a testing ground for making hacks since it doesn't having any real security measures and everything seems to run clientside. I don't see it myself but I always seem charmed about that stuff.

A little impressive honestly, I'm just guessing but it looks like they figured out how to make solo mode able to have players join in the game. Or how to manually spawn in a Bosco drone ingame.

I'm guessing they are using a known (not going to mention) UE4 cheating api
which would make the latter pretty likely. Still impressive though. vbasic is some tough ♥♥♥♥.

edit: or it's a bug*. I mean I don't know for sure obviously. It just seems very likely to me.

This happened to me, it's a bug. Go to the mission control computer, select a quickplay mission and if it doesnt work it will ask you if you want to start you're own game, you press yes which starts an empty lobby, but you can still select a mission, so you select solo, and bam, you're in a solo game but people can still join because even though you selected solo, you never disbanded the team, so people can join you still. At least this is what happened to me.

Fixed in update 12. Can still create a "solo" game after quick join fails and you start your own party, but when someone joins Bosco self destructs. Maybe not even fixed on purpose, since Bosco by design shows up now when you start a regular MP game by yourself and by design self destructs when someone else joins.
