Discover the bugs in Unreal Tournament, including armour glitches, bunny-hopping, Hall of Mirrors, hammer-launching, lift exploits, lockdown stuns, and map completion exploits.
Walkthrough
- 1Armour Bug: Armour can sometimes exceed the 150-point maximum, reaching up to 300. Take advantage of this when it occurs.
- 2Bunny-hopping: A rare glitch where pressing jump at the exact moment of landing after being propelled allows for extended airtime. It's difficult to perform and uncommon in multiplayer.
- 3Hall of Mirrors (HOM): A 3D engine issue where misaligned brush edges create a glass-shard effect. More common in online, non-professionally made maps.
- 4Hammer-launching: A potentially useful glitch (considered a bug by Epic) where hammer impacts can launch players great distances.
- 5Lift / Translocator Bug (Exploit): Dropping a Translocator module under a lift platform prevents the lift from stopping. This can be considered cheating on some servers.
- 6Lockdown Bug (Stunlock): Repeated weapon fire, especially from DPS weapons like the minigun, prevents players from jumping or dodging, making movement difficult on non-level surfaces. It's most noticeable with rapid-fire weapons.
- 7Map-Specific Bugs: Unique bugs exist in certain maps, detailed in their respective sections.
- 8Map Completion Bug (1): After a round ends, before clicking to change maps, you can fire all remaining ammo from your currently held weapons, including zooming with the sniper rifle.
- 9Map Completion Bug (2): Using 'fly' or 'ghost' commands before a round starts allows players to cheat in AS, CTF, and DOM. This includes triggering objectives early, capturing flags, or activating control points before the match begins.
- 10Path-noding Bug (1): Computer bots can get stuck in areas without path nodes, requiring player intervention to free them.
- 11Path-noding Bug (2): Bots can get stuck on specific path nodes, indicating a decision-making loop.
Tips
- Exploit the armour bug to gain a significant defensive advantage.
- While difficult, mastering bunny-hopping can provide unique movement capabilities.
- Be aware of HOM in online matches, especially on custom maps.
- Hammer-launching can be a powerful tool for traversal and combat.
- Avoid the lift/translocator exploit if playing on servers that consider it cheating.
- Understand lockdown mechanics to counter or avoid being stunned by rapid-fire weapons.
- Help teammates stuck by path-noding bugs with impulse weapons or hammer-launching.
- Utilize map completion bugs for practice or to understand game mechanics, but avoid using them in competitive play.
