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.

That's funny.

its a glitch, said they patched it, but nope lol

The patch in question:
- if (player.grenades != 0) {

+ if (player.grenades > 0) {

/j

Jokes aside, I dunno why they weren't able to patch it. Maybe they tried to patch the ability to get negative grenades, instead? I dunno, I'm not exactly employed by AH.

funnily enough, that wouldn't entirely fix it. with that, you could throw a grenade at 0 grenades.

+ if (player.grenades > 1) {

That would fix it, if how you wrote that is actually how it was coded.

But yea, it's amusing.

When you see someone do smthing in the game you dont like..
1. use the chat to tell him her his zis siish xx zz kk wtf that using so much grenades is bad for the environment.
2. If you are the host you have the democratic liberty to kick ..
3. if you are not the host you can leave and stop playing with such marxist cyberstan supporters.

Reporting is for clivilians .. Helldivers take matters in their own hands.

Its just a fun bug, it doesnt really break anything so just enjoy it til its patched if you want to

It’s a well documented exploit going around right now, seems it’s been in the game for a number of weeks

dunno if it'd take 30 sec, but you can carry 6, and with a supply pack thats another 8, so if it took 2 seconds per toss, that'd be 28 seconds, pretty close.

Extra grenade glitch been patched, which is sad. You know, when you could hold 3/4 nade in your hand, pick up new supplies and then you end up with 5/4 grenades.
The unlimited grenades glitch is here for forever but wasnt very well known until some exploiter youtuber made a video on it.
I dont mind people using it now and then, but if someone just keeps throwing them 20 at the time, thats an issue. Except for termites, those like fireworks lol

I see it frequently, just saw it last match. I really don't care, this glitch compensates the other glitches that make you die.

It could be normal game play you can start with 6 , have the nade pistol that can shoot 2 off the drop and a nade launcher plus a supply back pack . you could shot nades for a solid min with normal game play

I'm against exploits and cheats in cooperative games, but I can definitely understand this thinking and I see it as ok to use this grenade glitch in a solo mission if it's not effecting anyone else before it's patched

By 30 seconds I ment continuous nonstop throwing every second.

From Spiffin Brit on the infinite grenades exploit... like a week ago https://youtu.be/7tOKJrxx5Hk?si=2WKa_TIQmthmbHiW

They seem to have tried patching it out but the cheese has returned. if i recall the game only checks if grenade count is 0. It doesn't check if you're <= 0 which allows you to throw grenades at -1, -2, -3 etc.

Grenadiers are historically a profession. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grenadier

Deg not normal gameplay watching a guy toss near infinite impact nades every second and no nade pistol.
