Update: Impaled Heads exploit patched out

[It’s A Kang Thang]

Ugh. I did this after finding it on youtube JUST for my remaining shrine heads (already had like 10 grinded out) thinking it was a damn Midway-esque easter egg. These are the same guys that inserted a secret boss fight against Reptile for getting double flawless at the pit in MK1 while something flies across the moon. If they ban or even profile wipe over this I will be legitiately incensed and probably done with the game. Grinded for days at a time to get where I'm at. One mistake that NRS left in their own game and if I get banned or lose ALL the stuff I've stood up til 4am grinding for I think I'm through.

I just did an exploit on accident. I was trying to put Geras' head on his spike, but I moved too far left and that somehow prompted Raiden's head being placed on his spike. I checked my inventory and I don't have Raiden's head.

 

[Kiss the Missile]

There's proof. I've been grinding these heads out for days now. If these motherfuckers ban me off of an accidental glitch I'm going apeshit

The more I think about it do you think they'll honestly punish the players for their mistake? This is literally unannounced in their base game in a vacuum. Players that use a turbo controller to farm currency on towers are tampering more than this imo considering they're using outside devices.

Like I said , they don’t tell you how to even unlock the heads in the first place. So what will be their excuse ? “ I know we didn’t tell you how to unlock the heads in game, but you weren’t supposed to do it that way so your banned.”

You can’t punish people for an exploit if you don’t tell them there’s an exploit. The way MK has always been, for all people know, this is the way you are supposed to do it.

Hey I'll take one for the team, getting sick and fucking tired of this bullshit RNG and grindfest anyway.

 

[LeoMK29]

I would be surprised if people get banned. MK has always been about secrets and glitches right? Just turns out this one worked in our favor lmao

 

[Elias6999]

ITS NOT WORKING FOR MEEEE NOOOO

 

[Elias6999]

can someone explain how to do this i may have done it the wrong way lol

 

[stokedAF]

I decided to do it normally. Just because I’m enjoying the krypt so much. It’s a shame to sour it with such a shitty economy and loot management. It could have been perfect, they nailed it. I just want to download Shang already lol. I’m throwing money at you, why the screwball tactics? It’s like a backhanded compliment. Fan service with a fuck you.

I’m disappointed they would say it’s always online because they couldn’t trust their fan base to play by their shitty rules. And by the look of this thread they were right. It doesn’t make what they did right though. At launch the servers were screwy so I couldn’t even do tutorials and save my progress. You can’t trust that I did the fucking tutorial?


That’s not “negativity” just my honest opinion. I’m playing it the right way because I’m going to be playing for a long time anyway. I still don’t like that aspect of it.

 

[Kiss the Missile]

The Shao Kahn chest in Shang'a final door had Kabal stuff. Why did they make his shit so hard to get?

First you have to spend souls to repair the bridge, then you have to go through this insane grindfest to get his other unlocks

 

[Name v.5.0]

Yeah, doesn’t work for me either. Lame.

 

[HeavyNorse]

Why are you shilling so hard?

That would imply that I am apologetic on NRS/WB' behalf about this shit. I'm not. I am not okay with the current state of the game.

No, what I've been doing is offer facts and information. I've been informing people of stuff that might happen. I have not once said that it was okay!

Stuff like this should be kept hidden

No, people should be informed about these things and consider what consequences that might happen to them should they make use of this exploit! I personally believe that it is much better to be informed and make a decision based on that information, than just staying ignorant and suddenly stumble upon something that might get you banned from playing the game.

Secrets out. Now delete this. Hide the tech

Not going to do that. Sorry.

 

[Elias6999]

Yeah, doesn’t work for me either. Lame.

worked for me now i just held x from menu till i got in front of the chest i want lol

 

[Shirakani]

but I can see NRS and their power-tripping selves let loose the cannon out of fury.

I want to tsee this happen TBH. The blow up and resulting PR nightmare for them will be absolutely glorious and worth the price of the final game I EVER buy from WB.

 

[ShArp]

Unlocked all heads and chests lol. Fuck the grind.

Best thing? SHAO KHANS MUDAFUKIN classic helmet Khan of Khans

It just worked. I’m not sure what the difference was, but it worked. Good times.

Same. Do it Ed, show everyone how tough you are!!

Remember when Ed Boon stated: "If you ever leak my game again I'll have you leaking."

Let's see if Ed Boon can stand behind his words!!

Boon doesn't even have the balls to TELL THE TRUTH half the time what makes you think he'll act tough? Hah!

Were you pressing 3 all the time inside the krypt or the glitch was kinda random?

 

[Hellbringer]

worked on pc

Damn I’m doing it. Why did you say that?!

 

[AZ MotherBrain]

i doubt anyone is getting banned. its just a bug and cosmetics. it will get hotfixed and swept under the rug

 

[Tanno]

Did they ban you guys in the past over a bug they didn't even test and hotfixed? Why should we get banned for something like that?

I bet that the hotfix will fix only this bug, but the lucky ones will keep these, and the rest will have to face the harsh reality of the grind. BTW, it works on the doors, as well.

 

[Lord Greyjoy]

They're walking on eggshells, so I doubt they would ban anyone over this.

Not doing it myself anyway. Don't see what the big deal is unless you're impatient to get into Shang's throne room. I'll have the fatals naturally done by the end of the week probably.
