    Default Multiplayer Weapons Glitch

    This just happened this morning and I wonder if anyone else has had this happen to them.

    I was hosting a race lobby, and instead of having "weapons on" the bar at the bottom showed the weapons for an Eliminator match. I had just played a few round earlier and was getting pissed that I didn't get a turbo for 3 races when it dawned on me. What was happening was that I was racing but there were only weapons and no turbos, autopilots, or shields.

    Has this happened to anyone else?

    Never heard of that before, did it have any effect on the frequency of the weapons handed out? For example were there more quakes than usual?

    Edit: Actually now that I think about it the pads probably deactivated as normal right?

    guys, this is a well known thing actually.

    when in online single races, look at the weps icon, if its switching to all weps, you aint getting no turbos. just go back to settings and pick another track, then check icon again. rinse repeat.

    ^That, it's actually easy to re-create as well and in fact, makes for the perfect green race, despite having no greens, fair and square on turbos for everyone, none lol ^^

    I'm curious if the damage of the weaps is also higher like it is in elims

    I was kind of hoping to find a glitch that would use Time Trial rules actually. How awesome would that be to race with everyone getting one turbo per lap and not lose shield energy?

    This actually happened again in about an hour after the initial occurrence. Only this time it was a Tournament. Horrible times because Sol2 Fwd and Rev as well as Cheng Fwd and Rev were all on there. I don't think I made it over any bridges without being Quaked off.

    If there is a new game anytime soon, this would be yet another great feature to add: being able to select and deselect weapons. So if you wanted a true green race, you could do that. If you wanted a race that tested your aim, you could have Turbos, cannons, and rockets for example.

    @Cipher, do you know how reproduce these results? It would be nice to do some green racing under these circumstance, but it would have to be a private lobby, so I'd need to know how to do it on the fly.

    tbh, I didn't notice if the damage is more this way or not. This glitch thing can happen up to 3 times in a row though.

    @Mannjon, the devs probably inserted this glitch (if you can call it that) to give noobs a better chance at levelling the playing field. If I was a dev, I'd consider it too - it's absolutely a viable option to give noobs a fair chance in some races against the pros.

    As for the whole wanting a turbo glitch, there's nothing wrong with dreaming

    @JF Check your PMs

    @Mosh i know, it can even stay after a PS3 reboot, it's crazy
    Joining a normal online single race lobby and doing a race will usually fix it though

    no, wep off means just 6BRs/player/race. using this wep glitch would mean almost unlimited BRs/player/race
    but no turbo or autopilots!!!!!!!!

    Nah. If there are no boost u cant get any advantage - but u still can roll as much as you can recover through weapons. Especially venom/flash races do benefit from it, cause they only get interesting du to brs, which is heavily avoided by wep off races.
    So yeah, sounds awesome
    EDIT: im imaging right now an anulpha pass 10 laps race against JF.... *heavy breathing*
    Roll until you re dead

    Good thing you mentioned jf coz 10 laps would leave me sleeping without a turbo. Sounds like fun though

    Sure. It is absolutely required to have equally skilled players concerning pulling brs. Against " noobs" (excuse the word but i want to express it clearly) itd be a waste of time. Moreover it depends on the track. I dont need tj for this kind of racing. Ap , sebenco, thats wheres the business iis
