Exploits have led to all sorts of unpleasant scenes in the barbarian survival MMO Conan Exiles. To encourage players to report errors instead of exploiting them, Funcom has launched a bounty program. Report exploits and get rewarded!
Exploits are a serious issue for all online games, and they are particularly disgusting in competitive survival MMOs, where one player with an unfair advantage ruthlessly dominates all other competitors. This happened in Conan Exiles due to a particularly nasty dupe exploit that allowed for a joyful reproduction of resources.
But that’s about to change, as the developers at Funcom have put a bounty on exploits!
Conan Exiles – No exploit should be safe anymore!
Players of Conan Exiles are now encouraged to report exploits to Funcom. Particularly nasty errors, like the mentioned dupe exploit, will be additionally rewarded with premiums. Anyone who finds and reports such a “serious exploit” is to receive between 100 and 500 US dollars via PayPal. A similar system is also offered by the survival competitor ARK.
Send your exploit sightings to [email protected] and also include how to reproduce the exploit step by step. Additionally, provide your PayPal email address and your Steam ID so you can be added to the Hall of Fame of exploit hunters.
When do I get money for exploits?
But keep in mind that the exploit is only worth money if:
- Funcom is not already aware of it
- No other player has reported the exploit
- The exploit is “particularly serious”
What constitutes a “particularly serious” exploit will ultimately be decided by Funcom, as will the amount of the prize money paid out. Examples have included the well-known dupe exploit or an exploit that allowed buildings in rock walls. Depending on how serious Funcom assesses the exploit, the reward will be higher or lower. At least 100 US dollars should be given for a correspondingly serious exploit.
