    Underground Exploit: Never Fail!

    I am not sure if someone has already reported this exploit, but I can't find it when I search the forums.

    I was in an Underground group the other night that would queue up for a Heroic mission, then removed. Once the mission had begun they would removed." From that point forward if we died on the mission we would respawn at the beginning without penalty. We respawned many times, defeating the Heroic UG operation only by being unkillable.

    This is a heinous exploit. It allows you to farm 268 gear out of the Underground incredibly easily. I feel like the community is keeping their mouth shut about this bug because everyone feels the Underground is too difficult, or maybe the community that knows about it is really small. Either way it needs a fix pronto.

    NOTE: Discussions of "how to do" alleged exploits is not allowed

    Heinous? Not really. Everyone can do it. It's like calling the Lone Star or Policeman's backpack tricks heinous exploits.

    Honestly...what it does is give everyone a chance at better loot. Not one group or another. Everyone. Further, it finally gives people who aren't world beaters a chance to experience heroic content and being able to proceed through it without getting their arses whipped six ways of Saturday, and feeling the typical lack of progression we feel all over the game. Besides, the game should give you loot in such a manner that you can take on the toughest content. It shouldn't require you to beat the toughest content to get the gear you need to play it to begin with.

    If people can sit on a ****ing pile of boxes and spam the Four Horsemen all day, then I don't see an issue with this either.

    Yeah, sure, of all the problems in the game, this needs to be top priority.
    Should try it out myself now that you told everybody about it.
    When you say "we" does that mean you did it also?
    Bet you were the one that told on Timmy to the teacher when he was chewing gum in class.

    I don't think you know what heinous means. It definitely doesn't apply to a game exploit.

    I've done it once. And despite the exploit, the content is so damned hard, it wasn't even remotely a solution or something I ever wanted to repeat. When you die, you respawn back in the train yard. If one of your teammates is still alive, you can fast travel back to them. But if the team wipes, everyone has to haul arse through the entire map to get back to where they're at. The people I did his with didn't have the builds, skills, or both...to do heroic content. They were dropping like flies all over the place. I took forever and a day to get the mission done, and guess what? The loot still f'ing sucked. None of us kept any of it.

    What it really underscored was that regardless of whether they give you the option to respawn in certain content, there isn't any guarantee you'll get anything worthwhile for it anyway.

    What i find really amusing about this is people are asking for checkpoints for missions anyway, so this probably isn't that big a deal.It probably is what a lot of players want, especially on multiple phase directives.

    I agree. It's a feature everyone wants. So that means it'll probably be fixed in the next patch. lol You know how it works around here. If it ruins the player experience, it's allowed to persist. If it benefits anyone, that **** is toast. lol

    Still doesn't help if you dont get the timed missions done, you will have to leave and restart. So chances are you will get a timed mission and not be able to kill the bullet sponges.

    The timed missions have the least number of spawns (generally), I tend to reset until I get them

    My and my buddy can't take them out before the limit is reached. Even using smart cover it's still impossible.

    they gave up on this game a long time ago. about the same time their first major dlc dropped and saw that it only brought a couple thousand people back to their game.
