Can the double damage ammo glitch/exploit get you banned?

yes you can

back in me3mp, there were ban waves every other month for excessive use of exploits.

if you don't want to get banned, then press option and disable the file sharing option. Also, u better wish another person isn't recording

u can still use the exploit, just not excessively

I remember the ban waves in ME3MP. Never had any of those problems because I was smart and followed the rules.

But I still think it's stupid. Without an official announcement of any sort, on what basis do they have to ban people? For using the mechanics they messed up on? You need to tell the community what is acceptable and what isn't, especially with something this gray. It's just ammo. How much effing time does it take to tweet out "We do not approve of the double ammo exploit. We are aware of it, in the process of working on a fix and will ban excessive offenders from out servers."?

Missile glitching in 3 was a whole other story. It was boring to just watch things die in a lobby with someone glitching and took away from the experience. More importantly is was way more obvious that that was not okay, not even counting official forum platform.

Anyone saying yes, notice no source was given. As hardcoresalmon said, I wouldn't worry about it.

Worry about the fact that we have no hecking clue whether it's bannable or not because Bioware won't acknowledge it.

There is no official word about it yet. It doesn't one-shot anything like the missile glitch. It works similarly to the incendiary glitch from ME3, which was never adressed.

No, don't be silly.

I think nobody will be banned. But i find it kinda silly, you will use your ammo boosters in no time and there will be nothing left quite fast.

I would be shocked if it did, if players are using it it does not have a negative effect on my match, the missile glitch thing basically killed everything instantly, pugs still go down using this but not near as often, perhaps sad but many are using it to balance their guns and get through a match to unlock weapons/kits that IMHO should not be N7 to begin with.

Bio has not acknowledged this ability (hesitant to call it a glitch) so is it working as intended or is it an oversight of the extensive testing bioware performed which gave the the confidence to scrap a player test before launch.

If players use it in pugs I could not care less, depending on the kit I am running I can generally match them in score or come close +/- 2,000, that is very different than the missile glitch where I would struggle to find anything to kill.

Not saying it can't (it probably can), but people exploiting in-game bugs has been going on since time immemorial. Bad companies ban people for using it. Good companies realize it was their mistake, fix it quickly and sometimes even make a joke of it (like Destiny's infamous loot cave).

Not a fan of exploiting, but as long as it's not a competitive game or there are real stakes (like cash prizes) it doesn't bother me.

It's the same glitch for all boosters.

Equip two power boosters and it has same visual glitch as two ammo powers, where it appears to unequip the first one.

You can't pick and choose which part of the exploit is cheating when it all reacts the same way.

It violates the terms of service which you agreed too when you purchased the game. I wouldnt say banning people for violating that agreement is entirely unreasonable.

According to vegasflash you should probably be executed for using it.


But on a serious note, I can guarantee you there is a 0% chance you will get banned for using this glitch. If you got banned for abusing glitches in ME3, then we'd all have been banned considering the game is a test of how well you can abuse glitches and bugs.
