Cheat or exploit?

[DarkMagic]

Just finished a defense mission were I witnessed a dude standing on a wall and spam throwing grenades. just none stop at a bug hole for about 30 seconds straight. Is this a cheat or exploit? Dude is a lvl 135 so I assume an exploit but could very well be cheated to 135 idk but they were the highest level I've seen to date so it could be either or at this point.

Exploit. The game only checks if you have 0 grenades exactly. there's a bug where you can go to -1 grenades, but since -1 isn't 0 exactly, you can still throw grenades, and thus have infinite grenades.

Exploit / glitch / whatever you people call it. Feel free to kick if you don't like them. Personally: don't care if people are abusing anything allowed by the game. If it something external - ban.

Now I'm just curious on how you do that/how did someone figure out going negative was possible lol. Well I doubt it will be fixed for a while since the votes were to make content IIRC and the bug for the grenade pistol and the ammo booster is still a thing.

Why would a hole need 30s of grenade spam to close…

Was just curious is it was a cheater or not, cheaters are very rampant these days so I wouldn't put it passed that as an option, however it's sad to see cheaters in PVP games but even sadder to see them in PVE games especially when there is 9 levels of difficulty lol so cheating because you suck is no excuse.

I wasn't paying attention to that. Why? Does that have something to do with the exploit/bug?

Idk how you can do this after the patch. Like they tried to fix it, but you can still do this, but in a different way. Honestly, don't really care, grenades are not that fun and op and you kinda downgrade your skill by a lot.

Yeah I met such people too. We killed them non stop and kicked right before extraction.

Not a close able one, the reinforcement bug hole. When they scream it says "Bug hole breach" or something.

its an exploit if you are the host feel free to kick them otherwise well deal with it its not even bannable devs even said enjoy exploits for as long as they exist if they help you having fun until they get fixed :D

It's not allowed, it's called exploit, and according to EULA - bannable, though I doubt AH will do this. But don't act like this is something legal. If it was more massive it'd totally ruined peoples' expirience

Things like this just peak my curiosity if anything, never liked exploiting in games, defeats the whole purpose of playing the game ya know. "I cheated and unlocked everything! Now I can play the game!" Bro.... you SKIPPED the game lol
