Starfield explosive AK glitch: transforming a classic weapon into a rocket launcher
Players in the large expanse of Starfield are always searching for strong weapons to meet upcoming challenges. Among the several powerful weapons at hand, the Old World Assault Rifle—often known as the AK-47—stands out as a fan favorite because of its look to the venerable rifle. But one player discovered a flaw that turned this already powerful weapon into a deadly rocket launcher, rocking the Starfield community.
The explosive AK glide: an enigmatic anomaly in Starfield
Reddit user Motojimmy_151 posted an amazing video showing the glitch whereby their Old World Assault Rifle fired a barrage of bullets that detonated upon impact, producing a blinding explosion that made the screen almost unreadable. Many players questioned if this bugging variation was a game-breaking exploit or a weird quirk of the game's code given its sheer power. Although the clip omitted showing the weapon used against conventional enemies, it's easy to picture the terrible damage it could cause even on the toughest Terrormorphs.
Possible Sources and the Pursuit of Replication
Naturally, the revelation of this explosive AK flaw set off a frenzy among Starfield players ready to unleash their own nuclear Ak-47. Still, it proved difficult to replicate the flaw. The original discoverer, MotoJimmy 151, left many ideas whirling since he couldn identify the precise cause.
Some thought the glitch resulted from Moto Jimmy's 151 installed mods. They angrily denied using any weapon-specific mods, though, citing their installed add-ons aimed just on improving XP gain, ammo capacity, and carrying capacity. Though this is just conjecture, it is likely that these mods unintentionally interacted with the game's code in an unexpected manner.
An Essential Weapon: the Old World Assault Rifle
The Old World Assault Rifle is still a valuable weapon in Starfield even if the explosive AK glitch is yet unknown. Free from any glitchy explosions, its base form can be obtained from Spacers (if the player is at a suitable level) or bought from companies like Centurian Arsenal or Rowland Arms. Whether its outstanding stopping power, big magazine capacity, or rapid-fire capability, the Old World Assault Rifle is a great tool for any adventurer traveling into the vastness of space.
Starfield: Discovery's Universe
Starfield never fails to enthralls players with its large open world, complex narrative, and abundance of unusual weapons and features. From the surprising anomalies of glitches like the explosive AK to the excitement of finding potent weaponry, Starfield presents countless avenues for adventure and discovery. One thing is clear as the game develops with updates and player discoveries: Starfield's universe is bursting with surprises just waiting to be unearthed.
