So, item duplication glitch...

[Explodium]

Not sure when this was first discovered, but considering I see people talk about the FPS superknife way more, I figured not as many people know about it.

Gotta say...most of the times when it comes to buggy PC ports, they tend to be badly-optimized rush jobs, but then here comes Capcom strutting along, bringing with them a very nicely optimized game with some PC exclusive exploits.

Those scamps.

Are you sure this wasn't made with trainers? How do you perform this glitch?

*ahem*
You need two items and an item box, only items that stack can be duplicated. This only works with KB&M, hence PC only.

In the item box, have the item you want to duplicate and the other item next to each other. The "template" item needs to be in a greater quantity than the item you want to duplicate.

As an example let's say you have a stack of 20 handgun bullets and 1 magnum round, you want to duplicate the magnum round.

Have the cursor over the handgun bullets, and quickly flick it over the magnum round and press space. If you did it right, the magnum round will be highlighted, but the "take amount" field will appear over the handgun bullets. When you press space again, the magnum round will be added to your inventory...but in the quantity defined by the handgun bullets.

Keep in mind that that the duplicate item can't exceed its stack size with this bug. So if you have a stack of 60 handgun bullets and 1 magnum round, it won't be duplicated to 60, you'll just get a stack of 20.

Interesting, thanks!
I might try it later, just for fun.

Can confirm, it works. Really hard to do. You have to do it really fast.

Fun fact: this can be used to duplicate the spare key so you can get the hip pouch in the safety deposit room early.

whats the point of a ammo glitch if the game literally gives you infinite ammo after you beat it?

There isn't an infinite shotgun, magnum, or grenade launcher though, is there? Or infinite sparkshot, flamethrower, flashbangs, hand grenades...

why do you need a infinite shotgun when the game literally gives you a infinite minigun lol

This is... Interesting. I have heard of this but never looked into it.
Hey it is okay to cheat once you have finished the game multiple times already, right? ;D

Omg infinite magnum YEESSSSSSSSS

[talgaby]

Not infinite. You can essentially make one full stack from a non-full stack. Since moving items from and to the box always stacks them, you cannot make more ammo from nothing. Magnum can be multiplied by a lot, you can have 180+5 ammo, which is practically enough for most of the game, but there is a hard cap on this.

Claire can get infinite grenades though through the ammo swap. Does not work on her handgun and magnum ammo, but works on grenades as they are stacking like hand or flash grenades. If you have two 10-stacks (one flame, one acid) and swap the ammo, you end up with a 10-stack, a 9-stack, and a 1-stack, and you can make a 10-stack from the latter two ones, having as much grenades as you want.

Except I can, and I just did actually. Turned my 4 MAG into 20, put one of them away(because I found out they always just stack up) and burned my 19 ammo that I had, went back, turned that one back into 20, rinse repeat. Infinite
