An Item Duplication Glitch in Elden Ring Nightreign Makes It Easier To Share the Wealth

Elden Ring Nightreign has some pretty sick gear drops. And sometimes, you might even want to let other people try out that gear, even though you want to also use them. Well, a gear duplication glitch makes it easy to share the loot, for as long as it’s around.

I first saw this thanks to the folks at PC Gamer, who put together a quick guide on just how to tackle the duplication. It’s actually fairly simple to execute; if two players try to pick up the same weapon, at the same time, they both pick it up. So now you have the original, and a duplicate. (Don’t ask which is which, it’ll freak everyone out.)

Not only is this fairly simple, it’s easy to repeat and there isn’t really a downside to “failing” it. If the pick-up gets messed up, you can just try again. In fact, the only danger is that you’re basically stopping in one place and coordinating this drop-and-pick-up strategy, and in Nightreign, standing still is rarely advisable. The brief respite between days, or the alabaster alcove before the big Nightlord showdown, is probably the best time to do this.
