Oblivion Remastered Players Discover Infinite Lockpicks Trick - Still Works After Update!
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Despite a recent update aimed at squashing bugs, the item duplication glitch in *Oblivion Remastered* persists, allowing players to conjure endless amounts of helpful items. Get your lockpicks while they're hot!
Right, so *Oblivion Remastered* got a shiny new update, 1.2, promising all sorts of fixes and improvements. Sounds great, doesn't it? But hold your horses, because as it turns out, Bethesda and Virtuous (the developers, bless their hearts) seem to have missed a rather glaring loophole: the item duplication glitch.
Yes, you heard that right. The very same glitch that let you conjure infinite lockpicks, gold, and potions back in April is *still* alive and kicking. It's like they banished a demon, only for it to waltz right back in through the kitchen door.
For those unfamiliar with this bit of arcane trickery, it's surprisingly simple. Find an empty container (crate, barrel, whatever), chuck the item you want to multiply into it, then add *another* item with the amount you want to multiply by. A quick double-tap of the 'confirm' button, and bam! The game gets its wires crossed and coughs up the desired quantity of the first item. Sounds like a right mess, doesn't it? But hey, it works.
Now, the obvious uses here are gold (who doesn't want to be rolling in Septims?) and lockpicks (because those dungeons aren't going to unlock themselves, are they?). But think bigger, mate! Imagine endless stacks of potions to keep you alive in a scrap or a nearly unlimited supply of soul gems for you enchanting fanatics out there. Archers, you're in luck too - infinite arrows await! It's like finding a printing press for Tamriel's currency.
Bethesda and Virtuous have been pretty good about rolling out updates, so it's a fair bet they'll try to patch this out sooner rather than later. Maybe in the next monthly update, maybe even earlier, who knows?
So, if you're the type who doesn't mind a cheeky advantage (and let's be honest, who *doesn't* love a bit of harmless cheating?), get in there and exploit it while you can. Odds are, anything you've already duplicated won't be retroactively snatched away even after the fix goes live. Happy looting! (Or, uh, *duplicating*.)
