Free of cert grenade glitch.

Chewy · 2013-03-25, 10:56 PM

I found a way to get what seems ANY grenade type free of certs (still cost res). Im able to use sticky and revive grenades without a single cert into them. This glitch only seems to work with grenades and not utility things like C4 although my stats page says I unlocked the 2 grenades and C4 (I have not paid one cert into any of the 3). I have not tested the glitch on anything more yet.

For the sake of not fucking the game I will not say how I did this but will ask. Is it safe for me to use these grenades? As you can see I am not certed into them but am able to buy and use as I wish. Is it safe to use them or am I screwed with a ban in waiting?

Edit-
Fucked the links.
Links should be unfucked.

Shut...up....

Seriously though I believe that SOE is aware of the issue and it'll be patched some time.

But seriously....shut up...

Get a grip. Essentially everybody discovered this bug on their on the first day. and the rest found out about from Outfit mates and friends.

Hes not giving any sort of secret exploit away.

I dont see why it shoulnt work the other way around.
By that I mean, I have certed in the compensator for the ACX11 and I am unable to use the attachment.
You are able to use nades that you have not certed in but can buy them.

If the missing attachments is not a big enough issue to warrant a quick hotfix then I cant see imo how they can ban you from using those nades if they have not hotfixed it yet either.

They'll get around to fixing both issues one day, until then just milk it.

Generally speaking, its not wise to use exploits. Even if "everyone else is doing it".

Meh, I'm just stocking up for if I ever DO cert into those things...

That's...actually not a terrible idea.
Hooray for forethought!
