Can someone explain what is happening?

This is a glitch. Having armor while killing yourself apparently gives you points. So they are getting 2x - 5x as many points as the opposing team and therefore leveling up much quicker than anyone. It’s even more powerful with 2xp weekend.

Wow thats cheesy. And the fact that its faster than playing the actual game is sad.

This is srsly the easiest gun to get gold on. Why even?

Its for XP not gun camos. Even still, other than class slots, prestiging doesn't really offer anything worth boosting for tbh.

Ohhh. I gotchu. Yeah I reached max lvl 2nd prestige, I would go for more like I did in all the other games... But as you said. Basically no point.

It counts as a kill so not rly

But if its a death also, it is. Any K/D over 1 will be affected.

Just playing devil’s advocate btw. Personally couldn’t give a shit and am willing to bet these clowns dont either

Here I am running games having fun only using the helion salvo.... and people out here boosting with it to get camos. It can be complicated at times to get camos for it, but really it's not hard. Shameful.

if they were trying to get camos they would be shooting down scorestreaks lmao

this is a glitch which gives them EKIAs by killing themselves so they can level up quickly

Redundis:PrestigeMaster:•

Oh. I seen them unlocking camos as they were doing it, my assumption was based in that.

Edit: just looked at it again, realized it was attachments they were unlocking... feel like a moron.

I haven't seen this before and searches didn't bring anything up. Anyway, I ran into this party of three that were boosting in Deathmatch Dom. They injure themselves with their RPG and then jump off the map and get both a kill and a death for this. It's annoying and not fun to play against and the amount of points they got for being such assholes is INSANE. I don't know how this is even a thing but I hope this can get fixed asap and their accounts will get premabanned.

I threw the vid together in a couple of minutes just to show what they have been doing for the entire match.

PSN-ID's of the boosters are Oji_Kush1 , dabuvi and demonio6677

Hey there Invasion! Thanks a ton for the tag, it's definitely appreciated. I've sent this video up for further review, but in the meantime I'd highly recommend reporting players that you find breaking the game's TOS through the in-game reporting function. It's the best way to flag these accounts for further investigation by Treyarch's Security and Enforcement team. ^WH

How exactly does this break the TOS?

ATVIAssist:ATVIAmbassador: ATVI Support•

I apologize, I meant the Security and Enforcement policy. I mixed up the terms as I was writing the post, and I appreciate you pointing the error out. However, if you're asking where this intersects with the Security and Enforcement policy I'd recommend taking a look under the "Boosting" section here: https://support.activision.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/Call-of-Duty-Black-Ops-4-Security-Enforcement-Policy

A player exploiting the game for the purpose of gaining XP at an accelerated rate can be subject to penalty. ^WH

Does in-game reporting a thing? Unless you guys give us updated follow-up actions on that reporting, everyone gave up considering it is useless UI.

Also, I agree that this kind of opportunity to boost up XP is punishment studio, not users. When a gun is unbalanced, do you punish people for using it, can I report those until there is an update to fix the balance issue.

It's a bit weird and malicious how a player can be punished for an exploit that could have been prevented with proper QA. We have gotten to the point where we punish people for using their brains to find easier ways to do things instead of the people who made it easy for them in the first place. Sad to even think that a person can get punished for leveling up at an accelerated rate.

Hi and thanks for the reply. I did report them in-game right after the match. The main reason why I still ended up posting the video was to make you aware of this bug in hopes that you'd be able to address it in a future update. Making a reddit post and tagging you seemed like the best way of showing you that this bug exists and I really appreciate that this issue in getting reviewed now thanks to you.

Probably will have better luck reporting in-game than here.

They’ve replied to me when I posted someone doing a wall exploit so they might contact him for details

Nobody has cared about k/d since Black Ops 1

Not what I’ve heard... I know a lot of people who aren’t going to go 0-32 ina game to boost a rocket launcher that just sounds retarded

DRAGONZORDx:BOPrestige3:•

You get EKIAs for damaging and then killing yourself. They’re not boosting for camos lmao

QBatta10:InsigniaUnknown2:•

Why would people do this though? They can’t get kills vs enemy’s the normal way? I get 30-50 kills a game play domination I just don’t understand this. And EKIA isn’t an actual kill though is it?

All y'all are getting so upset at how others play a video game, like, god damn.
