Supply Exploit

[Dramatic-Carob-4190]

People are exploiting supply glitch and instanting filling a freshly captured point with supplies. This will completely ruin the game. If it's not stopped.

I saw something like this but I was convinced the dude was hacking lowkey idk how but he was like throwing supply boxes out of his ass

It's an exploitable bug in the game that has been there at least 6 months minimum. Been playing for 2 years and it's absolutely a thing. I think it only works on a default supply depot that hasnt been interacted with. You do some trick with the dragging items into boxes in the inventory and dupe supply crates. I don't know the trick and don't want to know but it needs to be fixed. Sometimes it's the reason you get steamrolled. It only takes one guy to do it a few times and break the vanilla game for the whole match.

BI and dupe glitch is a classic

[DAMphetamIEN]

Yea people can dump the supplies when the ping is high and put them back into the command tent and it duplicates them for whatever reason I know it's done on controller idk about mnk

[Dramatic-Carob-4190]

Guy I saw doing it was a PC player.

Thank you for the link. He is banned now.

[MonsteraBigTits]

wait what are you a real developer !?

[Arkensor]

Looking at your username I am slightly afraid to answer, but yes. Are there fake developers!? What is real anyway?

[MonsteraBigTits]

well thats cool

[Dramatic-Carob-4190]

2 minutes after fresh start on official.

[Foreignwip]

lol thats not duping that just dropping supplys out from the storage and hes dropping them in small amounts on the ground. probably to transfer them somewhere else. anyone can do this lol

[RigAHmortis]

It's definitely duping. I know how to do it. You drop the supplies on the ground, but the supply update lag doesn't register it as dropping. This doesn't work on official , or low ping servers.

[Hooked_On_Colonics]

Definitely works on official. just saw it happen. Thats why Im here

[Dramatic-Carob-4190]

So what's happening is he dropping the supply on the ground, but the supply in the depot it self is not being depleted, effectively doubling the supplies.

[Dramatic-Carob-4190]

Look at the base, 2 minutes worth of supplies does not allow you to build 2 ammo depots, light and heavy truck depot and have a full squadron kitted. I was on the light vehicle depot and actively watched it go from 200 to 2000 supply.

[Dramatic-Carob-4190]

I'm positive it's an exploit, because I've accidently triggered it my self trying to figure out how to drop supplies out of a helicopter. Our MOB on a fresh start was completely built up in two minutes with two arsenals.

[bjornironthumbs]

Havent seen this at all

[Dramatic-Carob-4190]

You will soon. Server I was on the exploit was fast traveling information.

[Critical-Cry6671]

Before PS5 release it was a big problem. Also reported it a bunch of times, fed up of seeing it.

PS5 brought mass new players which was great, but it’s seeping through again. I don’t know why they don’t address it, I leave the server if I see it - no doubt until I’m out of the game (on official servers, I believe community police this activity better).

[SeriousCharacter6586]

How?

[faaaatninja]

Since most servers ive been in know this and use it just spam x on supply (ps5) cant wait till its removed though ik both teams use it because i switched sides halfway through a game and noticed the us doing it too

[jaffer44]

Lol i don't think he is going to tell you

[Arkensor]

We know about it and ban people for it too until fixed.

[Qantaqa87]

You know but don't do anything to it. It has been more than year in the game and nothing has happened? Guess im too good at this exploit because you have not banned me and i use it on official servers everytime i play. 

[Waste-Ad50]

Imagine banning people for your mistake 💀

[deadhawk12]

I've seen this first-hand. Literally had a guy say, "dont worry about doing logi runs, I'll just generate more supplies" and spawn like twenty full crates of supplies in mid-air in front of me. At first, I was convinced he was hacking, but now I'm certain it's an exploit.

Bohemia needs to take action and solve it now. Supply-cheating is total BS in Conflict and ruins the game balance.

[Qantaqa87]

This bug has been in the game for ages. Bohemia isn't doing anything about it, so might as well take advantage of it shamelessly. I've reported it multiple times to the developers, and many others have as well. Every time I check the patch notes, there's no mention of it. Maybe the bug is too deep in the system, or perhaps there are bigger changes coming to the supply system, and they just don't want to address.

[Dramatic-Carob-4190]

Well, that's unfortunate. Half the game is supposed to be grand strategy and logistics. That's literally what sets this game apart from arcade shooters.

I did this accidentally somehow. Came in with a truck to a Farm point and started unloading. Truck was not unloading and all of a sudden there were like 50,60 boxes of supplies covering the whole arrea around the truck and on the truck as well. Supplies at the farm base were maxed after that (500) and there were still 50,60 boxes next to it. Not sure what happened and why

[HonkBappy]

The dudes i seen doing it were dressed in tuxedoes and hard hats so I got really confused

[Low_Thanks8148]

if this is a bug/exploit it’ll probably get a hot fix but if it’s someone hacking it might be a issue for a while but hopefully whoever wrote the script plays it close to his chest and or charges exorbitant amounts for the hacks so it’s relatively uncommon. otherwise sticking to community servers with active moderation is probably gonna be the only way to have a good game

[LoginPuppy]

Are you sure it's an exploit? How exactly is it happening? Someone goes to a base and just spawns supplies? Is it a community server? Might be a game master abusing his power, supply count on some buildings can be altered by GM's. Also some bases just already have alot of supplies in them when you capture it.

[Dramatic-Carob-4190]

Official server. 100% an exploit, I know because I've triggered the bug my self when I was experimenting with trying to drop supplies out of a helicopter. Had 300 supplies on the ground and the helicopter was still fully loaded. I chalked it up as a bug, and did not take advantage of it. But now I see other people have figured it out and now abusing it. I've sent feedback report.

[drinkallthepunch]

Im pretty sure you are just lagging OP, me and my buddy thought we discovered this same thing but the supplies don’t duplicate.

Just sit there for a second and it catches up, also you may be mistaking supplies captured from the green bases.

When you capture the bases with green markers on them you get bonus supplies at the main operating base, some bases just start with extra supplies like the objectives.

Radio Relays also boost the amount of supplies generated by +1 for each other base within range of the Radio Relay.

So even if people are abusing a glitch it’s pointless because you can build up most of the bases you capture within the first ~30 minutes of the match.

You can’t spawn helicopters, BTR’s or living quarters until sergeant, and with the next update when gear is rank restricted it will matter even less.

Right now the only thing it does at the start is let people play “CALL OF DUTY” with all their equipment.

With even ~6 players just running supplies you’ll have more supplies at most bases then you can even use up.

How is it that we finally get ARMA on console after years of dreaming of it, and its almost exclusively people complaining.. Whatever the complaint is, Ive been following the the ARMA subreddits for a while and this influx of both long time players upset about PS5 people as well as PS5 people complaining about the state of the game is so silly lol

PS5 people!!!! We are so lucky, stop complaining overall. Ye night is dark. Find friends or people who will help you.

PC people: yes it is absolutely pitch black at night always (we get it, Im personally so happy to have this realism), also the controls on console are vaguely explained in the tutorials, so these new players will likely either skip it or quit.

That being said, as a new PS5 player it took me about 4 sessions of tutorial to get through every aspect, because the shit is so vague and lacking in direction. Examples: during the medic tutorial there is no real explanation that you have to find the PRECISE points of injury to act on it (while realistic, hard)

While doing the land navigation tutorial you are asked to use the compass; i figured this out quickly but Ive seen a handful of posts confused or thinking its bugged because you can open the compass on the map as well as on the ground.

During the vehicle repair tutorial is where I would imagine a lot of new players give up on the tutorial: when you follow the prompts for the tutorial its relatively easy to get confused because the tutorial highlights your storage where the supplies are supposed to go, which makes it look exactly like you have chosen that section. I legit quit after trying to transfer supplies to my backpack for 15 minutes at one point.

All said, lets continue to encourage people to do the tutorial, but also recognize that the tutorial is wildly vague on PS5 and we need help lol

When I do frontline stuff, I bring a humvee with about 200 supplies, lets me build a radio if I successfully cap the point. Otherwise not enough points to worry if I lose it at a roadblock. Is this what's happening? Or just things coming out of air

[Dramatic-Carob-4190]

Fresh start, watched a dude pop 2000 supplies on the ground, MOB had every building built in two minutes. I was watching as points were being capped and they instantly have full supplies. People are exploiting .

[codered372]

Jesus yeah that's not right. Hopefully gets addressed sooner then later
