Crytek warns against using revolver glitch in Hunt: Showdown, says fix is coming soon

Crytek has warned that Hunt: Showdown (opens in new tab) players who take advantage of a glitch that gives the LeMat Mark 2 revolver an unintended power boost could face serious consequences for their actions.

The LeMat (opens in new tab) is a nine-round revolver that also packs a secondary barrel capable of firing shotgun shells. What this means, basically, is that it has the relatively accuracy of a pistol (or high rate of fire, if you’re fanning), and can also absolutely ruin your day up close. The problem, as explained by PCGamesN (opens in new tab), is that the gun can be glitched so that when the shotgun is fired, each pellet is treated as a full metal jacket pistol round, without the usual spread of a shotgun shell. That means it hits like an absolute truck, way above and beyond what it’s meant to, as you can see in the video below.
