Unlocking the Loot Sharing Potential in Elden Ring Nightreign
One of the most exciting aspects of Elden Ring Nightreign is the opportunity to acquire powerful gear through challenging battles. Sometimes, players wish to share their hard-earned loot with friends or fellow adventurers, even if they plan to keep certain items for themselves. Fortunately, a recent glitch allows for easy duplication of weapons and gear, making it possible to distribute items effortlessly while the glitch remains active.
How the Duplication Glitch Works
The trick was first highlighted by enthusiasts at PC Gamer, who provided a straightforward guide to executing it. The process is surprisingly simple: if two players attempt to pick up the same item simultaneously, both will end up with a copy of the gear. This means you can end up with an original item and a duplicate, effectively doubling your loot without any complex steps. Just be cautious—don’t ask which is which, as that can lead to confusion and chaos among your team.
Ease of Repetition and Safety
The duplication method is highly repeatable and carries minimal risk. If the attempt fails or glitches out, you can simply try again without penalty. The main challenge lies in coordinating the pickup at the same time, which requires some teamwork and timing. Since standing still in Nightreign can be risky, it’s best to perform these duplications during brief pauses, such as between days or in safe zones like the alabaster alcove before facing the Nightlord.
Community Awareness and Future Outlook
This glitch isn’t a secret anymore. Various YouTubers and Reddit users have shared their experiences, confirming its widespread use. While FromSoftware, the game’s developer, might patch this exploit in future updates, for now, it remains accessible to players eager to maximize their loot-sharing capabilities.
Limitations and Practical Considerations
Since Elden Ring Nightreign lacks voice chat or seamless online coordination, it’s not practical to rely on random online players to participate in such duplication. Even with voice communication tools like Discord, players would need to coordinate carefully and share specific equipment expectations. The game offers generous drops, but each character usually has unique weapon preferences, making this glitch more useful for specific strategies rather than a universal cheat.
Strategic Uses of the Duplication Glitch
This glitch is particularly helpful for players aiming to duplicate niche or powerful weapons, such as the Executor. It’s not a game-breaking cheat but offers a fun way to share weapons with friends or ensure everyone has access to key gear, especially if some players miss out on drops during the final days of a run. It’s a handy trick to keep in your toolbox for strategic sharing or just for some lighthearted experimentation.
