This weekend at fighting game For Honors big Season Three tournament for PC, a big, long-standing exploit forged one players path to victory. After the match, the victor stated: I didnt think itd be this easy. . . Before the tournament, I hadnt played the game for two weeks.
For months, For Honor players have complained of a bug that makes attacks invincible. Its called unlock tech, although tech is a generous interpretation. It prevents enemies from parrying certain attacks, so essentially, if the opponent is in range, they will always hit. Nobushi fighters have had a competitive edge because of this for over a month. A recent developer update read, There are a number of situations where unlocking during an attack can cause it to become un-parryable by the opponent. Across the game, were currently working to remove this unintended behavior. (In a May developer update, For Honor representatives acknowledged a broader issue with unlock tech and said that they were looking into it.)
In the finals, Winner Jakub SB.Alernakin Palen did not drop one set playing as a Nobushi fighter. His impressive strings of combos and lightning-fast punishes were made all the deadlier by his regular use of the exploit. Between matches, hed giggle and crack his knuckles. Awarding Palen his trophy, For Honors creative director said, Good job, buddy. Soon you may have to change your playstyle, implying that the exploit will soon be patched out of the game. Palens prize was $10,000.
