Guide to 0.57 glitches

[Mookie (original) 799]

There are quite a few inventory and carrying glitches in .57 that it might be helpful to list.

 

This is not my way of having a go at anyone, appreciate WIP/alpha and how hard the devs are working. What follows might be helpful to the uninitiated though. Some of these glitches are reasonably common knowledge, but others are not. Obviously a lot of these bugs are unintended consequences of trying to improve the inventory system:

 

1. If you have something in your inventory (such as a pistol or SMG), take it out, put something in the space it occupied, and then try to put it back, you will drop it.

 

2. If you try to open a can of food and there is no spare space in your inventory for it, the can will often disappear. However, if you have things in your inventory with spare carrying spaces (spare jackets, trousers, cooking pot, etc), it may turn up there.

 

3. This also goes for apples, sticks and other found items if you have no spare inventory space.

 

4. In this way you can be carrying an item of clothing inside your own clothing, with items inside it. But if you remove that item of clothing, you will not be able to put it back where it was in your clothing without removing the items within it first. It's a kind of accidental vest-ception, except that it only really works one-way...

 

5. If you swap an item of clothing - especially jackets or trousers - for something on the ground, the original item and anything in it will usually vanish. So before you swap clothing, first be sure you want to do it, and, second, put items from the old clothing into the new clothing before doing the swap.

 

6. If you are double carrying a gun and vault over an obstacle, you will usually drop the carried gun. (You can usually find it at the obstacle though).

 

7. If you have an item in your hotbar and take it into your hands, it will often just disappear from its hotbar assignment. This is especially true if you log out with the item in your hands.

 

8. If items disappear by way of the glitches above, logging back in will not usually cause their reappearance.

9. F2 and hands up will fix many of the invicible gun glitches and not being able to load clip.

10. The Curse of the Cola Can:

Can's of drink will randomly glitch and stay in your hand even after you've dropped them. The F2 trick will get rid of the can for about a minute allowing you to equip something else but then you'll randomly put your weapon away and the can will appear in your hand again.

That reload clip had me cowering in a corner mashing buttons in a blind panic.   :D  :lol:

11. When double carrying, if you put the gun down, or pick it up, it will replay the reload animation, in all it's noisy glory.
