In PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, an annoying exploit is causing some trouble. Incorrectly revived players can become “undead” who neither die nor live properly, thus ruining the game.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds received its first major content monthly patch last week, which brought not only bug fixes but also a new weapon and motorcycles to the game. Unfortunately, this patch also introduced a completely new glitch that allows for a nasty, game-breaking exploit.
PlayerUnknown’s Schrödinger‘s Battlegrounds: Exploit – Both dead and alive
The newly introduced bug affects the reanimation of teammates. When shot down, players can crawl on the ground bleeding and screaming for help for a few seconds. If a kind teammate comes during this time, they can revive you, and you narrowly escape death.
So far, so good, but if your merciful Samaritan happens to be shot the moment your avatar is about to get back on their feet, the glitch strikes! Your teammate passes away, and you are forever trapped in a bizarre limbo. Similar to the cat in Schrödinger’s theoretical experiment: You are not dead, but not alive either. You remain a crawling severely injured player for the rest of the game.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds: The perfect troll exploit
This player can do nothing but crawl, but they are also no longer killable and do not bleed out on their own. Thus, the game is essentially over, as this player will definitely be left standing at the end and win the game. Or ruin it for everyone if two or more opposing players encounter such a fate. Then, after a long time, it eventually ends in a draw, and everyone is annoyed!
As a guaranteed victory exploit, the glitch is hardly useful, but for trolling everyone with endless draws, it is perfect!
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds – Patch urgently needed
The glitch only occurs in teams, but there too, more often than one would like. Players on Reddit complain about rounds that were either entirely unfairly won by a crawling zombie or went on for hours without a winner, as the last survivors were also just crawling zombies.
So far, there has been no official feedback from the developers regarding the “Schrödinger glitch.” However, it is to be hoped that Bluehole will improve this soon, as such an error ruins the fun for everyone!
Have you encountered such an undead before? And is PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds still playable for you as long as the glitch exists? Let us know in the comments!
