Crytek has warned Hunt: Showdown<\/em> players against using a glitch that gives the LeMat Mark 2 revolver an unintended power boost, as players who take advantage of this bug could face serious consequences.<\/p>\n

“We are aware of the issues relating to the LeMat Mark 2 revolver,” said Crytek senior media manager Bence Hamos in a video posted to Twitter<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“Please note that using this exploit can be detected and will result in actions being taken against the exploiter’s account,” he added.<\/p>\n

While Hamos didn\u2019t specify what those consequences would be, a series of timed suspensions or a permanent ban (for repeat offenders) wouldn\u2019t be a surprise.<\/p>\n

The LeMat Mark 2 is a nine-round revolver that includes a second barrel that houses a one-shot shotgun shell.<\/p>\n

This shotgun round deals the equivalent damage of a shotgun at close range, and some players realised that if you equip full-metal jacket rounds and spam the button to switch between normal rounds and the shotgun shell, the gun glitches and replaces the normal rounds with the shotgun rounds.<\/p>\n

This means that the gun can shoot nine shotgun rounds at the same fire rate as the normal rounds \u2014 creating a pretty horrible experience for an enemy player that challenges someone who has figured out this bug.<\/p>\n

This glitch is shown in the video below.<\/p>\n
