These exploits feel too good to be true!

By Michael Fincher /

Video game exploits come in many shapes and sizes. Some of them might be small exploits that use minor inconsistencies in the game to make things more convenient, some of them can completely break your game with overpowered, if questionable, abilities.

The trick to using any exploit ever is to know its exact trigger, and whereas usually, the process of finding it is as simple as playing around with the game’s mechanic, some require more daring feats of curiosity.

These exploits can offer truly game-breaking results, giving you a chance to accomplish the impossible, but they also take an equally impossible setup, as far as ingenuity and preparation are concerned.

You have to really understand how the game works and reach the limits of what it's capable of to find exploits like these, but the payoff is worth it, as you’ll be able to get infinite money, become an unkillable god, or clear infamously hard levels in seconds.

It can be really hard to find the following exploits on your own, or even to set them up. However, thanks to the following list, you’ll learn how to pull them off and harness their power for yourself!

10. Bypass the Volcano - PEAK

PEAK is a survival game about climbing dangerous mountains with your friends.

The game's most difficult level is the volcano map, in which players have to go up against deadly lava and excruciatingly tall cliffs, spending hours to get to the top.

Except there is a secret exploit that can shorten this time to a couple of minutes.

The entrance to the volcano is a cave at the foot of the mountain. The hills around the cave are too steep to climb, and they're blocked off by rivers of lava, so you might think the cave is the only way up, but if you bring the right items along with you - a grappling hook and energy drinks - it is actually possible to move past them.

The grappling hook can help you latch onto ledges that will give you just enough height to jump over the lava, and the energy drinks should give you just enough of a stamina boost to reach the top of the cliffs without falling.

Figuring out the exact angle for shooting the hook and the timing for drinking the energy cans can be tricky, but it's definitely worth the satisfaction of skipping the entirety of the hardest level in the game!
