In The Division, a new exploit around the boss “Bullet King” has been discovered.
Although it has been raining loot since updates 1.4 and 1.5, agents are actively looking for ways to obtain many items even faster. A new exploit has been discovered that allows players to farm over 200 objects per hour. This farming spot has a prominent name: “Bullet King.”
This named NPC in the open world was the first major exploit that caused a stir in The Division and forced Massive to act quickly. Back then, players simply ran from the safehouse “Autumn’s Hope” to the boss, defeated him, but let the group of weaker mobs accompanying him live, ran back, and started over.
Ultimately, Massive put a stop to this by removing all named bosses in the open world from the game once they were defeated for the first time. This made it impossible to exploit this method again.
Does Massive need to react again?
With update 1.4, the open-world bosses returned, this time with a spawn rate of 4 hours. Players can farm them again, but without exploiting this process.
But now Bullet King is back. We will not provide a step-by-step guide for the new exploit here. If you want to know about it, you’ll quickly find it on Reddit or YouTube. You need two agents – and the safehouse “Autumn’s Hope” and Bullet King play a crucial role again.
Currently, we have no information on whether and how Massive will respond. The “new” Bullet King is currently not marked as an “exploit,” which would lead to severe penalties when applied. Nevertheless, this farming method is not intended, so we recommend staying away from it.
