10 Video Game Exploits That Destroyed The Entire Experience
3. The Developer Room (Fallout 4)
Fallout 4 is a huge game, with tons of stuff to see and do. There are bobbleheads to collect, power armour sets to find, special weapons to blast your foes with, crafting components to build new items, and much, much more.
But what if you don't want to play the game properly to discover all of its content the legitimate way? Then don't - just use this exploit instead.
A secret that was discovered shortly after the game's November 2015 launch, PC players can enter the command "COC QASMOKE" to teleport themselves to a hidden developer room, an area that contains all of the game's weapons, items, and armour.
Needless to say, this made it completely pointless to progress through the game normally, because by using this exploit, you were instantly unlocking everything that Fallout 4 had to offer. You were basically activating god mode.
Other Bethesda titles like Skyrim and Fallout 76 also include developer rooms, something that was particularly disastrous in the latter game, due to it being online-only. Bethesda even started banning people for exploiting the Fallout 76 dev room, which was another bit of bad press for a game that seemed to attract it.
