Diablo 4 Player Uses Infinite Damage Exploit to Conquer Impossible Dungeon Before Blizzard's Patch

A clever player demonstrates the power of a glitch that allows for infinite damage just before Blizzard intervened.

Diablo 4 players consistently showcase their ability to exploit the game mechanics, and this season’s spotlight shines on a player known as BigPapaPlump. This player recently discovered a method to achieve infinite poison damage, effectively enabling him to clear one of the toughest dungeons designed by Blizzard merely a day before they planned to patch the exploit.

While other character classes struggled against dungeons less challenging, the druid class soared through obstacles seemingly impossible, thanks to this glitch.

As described in his video, which he released just before the nerf went into effect, he utilized the Poison Creeper skill in a way that overwhelmed the system, highlighting a significant flaw in how damage accumulation functions within Diablo 4. Blizzard, recognizing the imbalance, has since disabled the exploit temporarily, aiming to maintain fair gameplay.

In his thoughts on the situation, BigPapaPlump humorously acknowledged the inevitability of the patch but hinted at adapting his strategy to comply with the updated mechanics. “Will this get patched? Yes, it will,” he stated.

This incident underscores an ongoing issue within the game: while such exploits can trivialize the experience, they also allow lower-tier classes to enjoy a moment in the spotlight, illustrating the unpredictable nature of game balance and community ingenuity.
