It’s all about the laughs. New World has recently suffered from a nasty Hatchet bug that allows players to stack their damage to 300% extra, which traverses to a horrible PvP environment. Outpost Rush queues are currently full of them, and it’s a priority fix AGS still hasn’t addressed.

The bug allows players to gain an absurd amount of damage from the hatchet perk “Against All Odds” after killing a few mobs. My Outpost Rush matches have been full of these kinds of players, abusing the decisive outcome to clinch a win. I could only imagine what would happen in wars, as Amazon Games is already two days late on fixing this issue.
