Ubisoft has recently released the new 1.0.2 update for Tom Clancy's The Division packed with tons of gameplay fixes and improvements. However, a glitch found in the latest patch will allow gamers to exploit for superior weapons in the Bullet Time encounter.
iDigital Times reports that Tom Clancy's The Division 1.0.2 update brings a host of new changes to the game, the more significant is that "Named NPCs will no longer respawn after being killed in the Open World. This will prevent situations where players were able to kill a same named NPC over and over again."
A glitch in the new patch, however, is discovered and a gamer codenamed ShmeeterPeter has made a YouTube video to demo how to exploit a glitch that can be made useful close to Autumn's Hope Safe House located at Times Square. The 5 easy steps on how to do this cheat are as follows:
1. From the Autumn's Hope Safe House, turn right to reach the street and make a left
2. When you spot the Rikers mob, look for their leader "Bullet Time"
3. Focus your attention on Bullet Time and kill him only
4. Take the loot he drops, most likely a superior weapon of some sort, and then allow the rest of the Rikers to kill you
5. You'll respawn at the Autumn's Hope Safe House so that you can perform the exploit again and again.
Gamers must note that the above was performed on PC by tipster ScmeeterPeter and users of Xbox One and PS4 might get a varied result.
Fans can watch the video for guide:
