In the online shooter The Division 2, a glitch caused severe conditions in the Dark Zone. Exploiters were virtually invulnerable and ruled the Dark Zone. However, these players receive only a warning.
How did the exploit affect the game? In The Division 2, there was an exploit from the end of May until this Monday, that could significantly increase players’ armor.
There are reports of players who achieved over a million armor points; some reportedly reached even 2 million.
Normally, the values range between 180,000 and 250,000.
Due to the glitch, exploiters in the Dark Zone and in Conflict, the PvP of The Division 2, were practically indestructible. The exploit could only be used there.
The extremely increased armor values were so strong that there was no chance when encountering an exploiter.
This is how Massive reacted: The developers of The Division 2 fixed the bug on Monday.
It is said (via ubisoftforum):
“The small number of players who exploited the armor glitch will receive a warning for their account. Any further violations of the terms of service will result in a permanent ban of their account.”
Massive issues a yellow card but does not provide a ban.
This is how players are reacting. There are two main directions among agents (via reddit):
- One group is simply glad that the glitch is over and that it is possible to go back to PvP
- Another group says, however, that glitchers should be banned for at least 14 days without warning
It is generally believed that the glitch could not have been triggered by “accident,” but rather that it was used by bold cheaters who knew exactly what they were doing.
A player tells the story of a rogue agent who simply stood there and invulnerably killed other agents. He apparently saw himself as the king of the Dark Zone and ruled it as he wished.
Such players are certainly wished a permanent ban and not just a yellow card.
