Elden Ring Nightreign: Item Dupe Glitch Eases Wealth Sharing

Elden Ring: Nightreign features impressive gear drops, and players may want to share these items while keeping their own copies. Fortunately, a newly discovered duplication glitch makes trading equipment easier - at least while the exploit remains active.

PC Gamer first documented this glitch with a straightforward guide. The method is surprisingly simple: when two players attempt to pick up the same weapon simultaneously, both receive a copy. Now you'll have both the original item and its duplicate (though telling them apart might prove philosophically troubling).

The technique is not only easy to execute but also repeatable without negative consequences for failed attempts. The only real risk comes from remaining stationary in Nightreign's dangerous world - hardly ever a good strategy. The safest opportunities occur during the brief calm between days or within the alabaster alcove before facing the Nightlord.

As PC Gamer noted, they weren't the first to discover this trick. Various gaming communities on YouTube and Reddit had already shared similar findings. The secret is officially out about this convenient exploit.

Whether FromSoftware will address this glitch remains uncertain. Its impact appears limited since coordinating with random online players proves difficult without voice chat. Even for coordinated teams using external communication, both players need genuine interest in the duplicated gear.

While Nightreign generally provides plentiful loot, characters often seek specific weapon types. The duplication glitch shines when players want multiple copies of particular weapons like the Executor, though it's no instant victory solution. Still, it offers a helpful way to assist teammates who struggled to acquire powerful weapons before the final confrontation.
