Borderlands 3
Players repeatedly farmed specific loot tink spawns by fast traveling or resetting instances, producing legendary drops at abnormally high rates. This route became a famous early exploit.
Trading, mailbox timing, or save-state manipulation enabled multiple item dupe methods for top-tier gear. Co-op communities spread these techniques widely.
On some maps, ledges or mantles let players leave the intended path and reach red chests or boss routes faster than normal traversal suggests.
Certain patches allowed bonus stat interactions or rank accumulation to scale beyond balanced values, producing outsized survivability or damage.
Specific gear combinations could multiply or recycle projectiles in ways that caused excessive damage bursts against bosses and mobs. These builds often relied on quirky physics interactions.
