I faced off against 4 survivors with the Sprint Burst exploit.

Must have been a fun match.

Or that.

Had someone do it against my Legion. Every time id go to stab with FF, theyd hit that to make me miss. Of course, got plenty of t-bagging everytime they got to a pallet they wouldnt have otherwise gotten to.

The devs have realized that this community is wayyyyyy too scummy to enforce exploit bans, anymore, as too many people indulge.

Why don't they just fix it? Like how did a fix not get prioritized and deployed within a day?

Okay so this may be unpopular but how I'm looking at this is, this is bhvrs mistake.... it's their fault the bug is in the game... when there were glitches/bugs that allowed players to buff boss weapons or weapons that should not have been able to be buffed or being able to use an ability outside of the area it was only allowed to be used in, on DS3, nobody got banned.... there was no "ban wave".... players whined ofcourse..... players will always cry about bugs that will forever be considered "exploits"............. I've came across it as well and its deff a pain in the arse when the player is experienced... it gives a shout out to how exhaustion used to work and how broken it was.... all in all calling for bans and crap over this is imo not really neccessary...... bhvr just needs to fix bug and that's it

What is the issue with Sloppy Butcher and wraith?

@Boss

Let's ban everyone who's used an exploit once either knowingly or unknowingly. Hope you're ready for 1 hour queues.

@Yamaoka I do hope you know when the Wake Up bug initially came about they said they can track who used it and how frequent. Someone that always used wake up would be ignored. Those who just happened to slap it on from the time the exploit was found and removed it after. Yes, they deserve the ban. This includes for ANY exploiters. By your logic installing a cheat engine on accident is fair play too. You can't expect the user to not know they are getting a boost when mending took hours or gens were cut in half time wise with visual cues.

The only valid point for Sprint Burst is that there are natural ways to do the exploit that are not actually exploiting and you can't tell the difference.

@fcc2014 this one I can defend. You can't not see this in the game. This is a bug you can't avoid. Wake Up you had to actively start using it to gain the exploit ability. You had the ability to not exploit it. You had how many other perks that you could have swapped out. Same with legion blades they were intentionally used and optional.

@fcc2014 can you fill me in on the sloppy butcher one. I don't know why this affected wraith specifically. If to any point it leads to a severe critical advantage to the point it is game breaking. Yes, it should be bannable. That or by now a disable feature should be in place. Disconnecting to spawn hatch instantly is an exploit of mechanics. Tinker no TR yes that would be a major exploit in my book same with the agitation. Devour tokens I would need more knowledge of it specifically. Aggitation would essentially be speed hacking. Speed hacking is bannable abusing a bug of a perk that gives you bonus speed is exploiting a speed hack due to a bug. Simple logic.

However, in the end the ones you choose to exploit is done intentionally.

@Boss was this a well documented thing like wake up or whatever? If I hit four survivors and they all disconnected I really didn't win anything. I generally don't like making gray areas but I can see this also being classified as an exploit. The perk in this case truly should have been just disabled as well as the add-on. I don't know the full extent of how disconnects from this were handled. However, at the same time I wouldn't really make a connection that the perk caused frame drops on the survivor side. Latency in this game is bad with spikes. I don't want to make a call not knowing the exact function of how it worked.

@fcc2014 if it makes it to live without being disabled after it is well documented and known. Yes, I can see a defense for the bad design not being treated as such. Something that is found in a patch and is blatantly abused during live until the next patch is an exploit. However, I would still give notice that they will be bannable and treated as such. It then becomes the survivor/killer's action to equip it. Therefore actively looking to exploit. It would be like EAC went down for this patch I installed a cheat client. Due to EAC going down doesn't mean cheat clients are welcomed and allowed. I am then exploiting the fact EAC is down.

@LordGlint, however, the difference is you can't prove it. If they have the situational objects available they can still do the natural and hold exhaustion. It would have to be recorded and displayed frequently.

You really don't have to intentionally do it, if you get unhooked and start running it wont proc, if you stop and then run again it will.

I do random perk builds and SB came up, I got rescued off the hook and started running, I don't usually run SB so didn't notice that it hadn't procced, then I walked behind an object and the killer found me and started chasing which made me proc SB, you don't have to do it intentionally at all.

@Bravo0413 although, I would never encourage this being done. Find an exploit on a company server and exploit it and see where it lands you. If you can prove they got in the house and stole it is still chargeable by law. The point being made is you are allowing intentional cheating of the game by ways of exploits. Then using backwards weak logic to say 'Oh but it was a bug' which isn't valid. Most exploits are bugs. Look up any form of penetration testing work and see how strict and how much trouble you can get in for misusing a tool that exploits bugs. Simply put there are consequences for your actions. You choose to exploit you choose to be banned.

I love how someone compared a criminal offense punishable by law to abusing a broken mechanic in a video game.

Stay classy, Internet!

I faced some of them too, but they got outplayed by my precious spirit.

In the name of Oink!

It took two years for the devs to fix Freddy. You really think they'll get off their asses and do something that actually needs an immediate fix?

@Jdsgames yes if you can prove the person broke in.... that's why I said if there is no sign of forced entry etc..... I do feel it's bad that's players abuse it, but there is no way that every player thats abusing this bug should be banned... is there even a way of tracking that? Sprintburst is a popular perk mostly ran by noobies.... the only reasonable way of banning the player is through the report system and I still feel that it would be wrong for bhvr to go on this massive ban wave because they fooked up and let bug go through that's going to anger the almighty "do no wrong few"
