Summary
SomeWorld of Warcraftfans have discovered an exploit in Plunderstorm that makes it so a Duo team can keep resurrecting each other while in the Storm. This cheap tactic is only possible thanks to a recent hotfix, but it allowsWorld of Warcraftplayers to survive indefinitely while out of bounds in the battle royale.
Plunderstorm is a new limited-timeWorld of Warcraftgame modewhere 60 players compete alone or in teams of two to collect Plunder and be the last one standing. Like other Battle Royales, Plunderstorm features an encroaching area, called the Storm, that will quickly kill characters who linger within it, forcing everyone towards a central area to end the game.
However, someWorld of Warcraftplayers have found a way to beat the Storm indefinitely. The Storm deals 12% of a character’s max health every three seconds – an inexorable fate that will kill them eventually. That said, after a recent Plunderstorm hotfix inWorld of Warcraft, the time it takes to revive a fallen teammate was reduced from 15 seconds to 10, allowing clever fans to survive in the Storm by chaining deaths, revives, and Heath Brew.WoWPlunderstorm fan and content creatorCrille3 witnessed two opponents using this tactic to brave the Storm, which he shared on his Twitch.
WoW Exploit Lets Players Hide in the Plunderstorm
This tactic was obviously an unforeseen byproduct of the recent Plunderstorm hotfix. The Storm is meant to be a deadly obstacle, not a hiding place, soWorld of Warcraftfans shouldn’t expect this exploit to stay for long. Considering the frequent balance adjustments andupdatesWorld of Warcrafthas given Plunderstormin the week since its launch, this exploit will likely be fixed soon, either by increasing the Storm’s damage or some other change.
Plunderstorm has been a successful experiment forWorld of Warcraftso far. Though the game mode is not for everyone, some fans say the battle royale is the most refreshing thingWoWhas done in a while. Regardless,World of Warcrafthas already teased plans for new PvE contentin the near future, so even if players don’t enjoy Plunderstorm, they should look forward to whatWoWcan do with the things it can take away from the new game mode.
