Streetwise can give infinite charges
SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE: Realized yesterday that Streetiwise can infinitely recharge Items when taken out of chests.
PLATFORM: PC Steam
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW THE ISSUE OCCURED: You use the Perk Streetwise, go to a chest to retrieve an Item, use said Item (MedKit), drop it back into the chest while exchanging the Item you previously held and pick it back up from the chest over and over again and it will give you +80 % charges on every pick up, making it possible to reach infinite amounts of charges on that Item.

Will players be penalized for abusing this? Seems especially abusable…

Any intentional bug exploiting can get you banned.

I doubt there's a system in place to catch people who do this. It would probably be better if bugs like these were not publicly visible so less people would know.

Can confirm. It seems to only work on items that use the old charge system; Med-Kits, Toolboxes, and Flashlights.
You don’t even need to use the item removed from the chest, you just have to swap items out of the chest over and over and Streetwise will exponentially increase its charges.0 -
oh my god

Idk, I was doing a private 1v1 with a friend when I realized this.

Yeah, it's really broken.

There is no specific system for it but if someone reports you of exploiting bugs and Behavior finds evidence in the match or get several reports that all show abuse of exploit they will act on them. I have got messages of people getting punished of exploit abuse of those that I have myself reported. They are not going to punish you if you unintentionally use an exploit in a match but if you intentionally and repeatably abuse one then you can get punished for it.

why this hasn't been killswitched immediately is beyond me

Yeah this should be killswitched until its fixed as its clearly game breaking.

Hello. Your logs do not have you using Streetwise at all, and no one in the match info is using Streetwise either.
If you experience this issue, please leave the game and capture the logs then, and upload them to the forums. Thank you!

There's a video showcasing the bug:

Here's a video from the subreddit in which the user, in custom match testing, is able to replicate the glitch twice. I can also confirm with my own testing that it does only work on old style charges, so Medkits, Toolboxes, and Flashlights.
The dev account on the sub has also noted that they got a bunch of examples off the subreddit, and are working on it now.

Does it track custom games? I've used it twice in custom games but not a single time online.

Yes, custom games will generate in the logs as well!

If the item in the chest is constantly replaced with an item and picked up again streetwise stacks
Any platform
Open chest with an item already in hand. Replace said item in chest with the one you currently have. Rince repeat and keep stacking charges.
Had a friend shine a flashlight for 40+ seconds and the charge bar didn't even visually move down.

SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE:
Streetwise can make flashlights have unlimited charges by simply putting the item back in the chest and taking it back multiple time. Here I made a video showcasing that the flashlight I got with residual manifest and streetwise was unlimited and lasted the whole game.
PLATFORM: PC
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW THE ISSUE OCCURED: By simply putting the item gotten from the chest back in the chest and taking it back multiple time.
VIDEO: I couldn't managed to link the video even though it was compressed in a zip file. I made it happen in the forgotten ruins but it can happen on any map I think.
PLAYER LOGS: I don't know what player logs are?
- Player logs are required from PC players only.

I will link the video by YouTube if I have the time to.

can you please explain why this GAMEBREAKING perk hasn't been killswitched yet?

Here is a log of me and friend testing it. It should be the last three matches in the log. It only works on the items found in the chest. You can't charge item you brought in. Only items you can charge are Toolboxes, Med-Kits and Flashlights. Only that chest that you find the item will charge it more it will not work if you try to use another chest. It does not matter when you place it down in the chest it will charge 80 charges everytime. This is a huge problem as it can result to toolboxes, med-kits and flashlights that don't run out at all. This clearly is something that should be killswitched.

can you confirm if people are being penalized for abusing the bug in public matches?

holy hell, How is it STILL NOT KILLSWITCHED; whats the point in a killswitch when you refuse to use it when needed

I've stopped playing at this point. Too many times now I've seen gens FLYING, like FLYING, just to see streetwise in loadouts in the post match screen.
I can't wrap my head around the fact that this perk is still not killswitched after days of people posting about it here, reddit, twitter.

They removed the post.
What a sad joke:
