The Duping Glitch 2021 was an unintended major tragedy in which players quickly started duplicating Batwing and godlies, legendaries, vintages, etc. This was obviously not intended by Nikilis and he stepped in by banning dupers.

How it started:[]
Origin[]
The glitch was caused by a Discord server known for their giveaways, and invite reward system. The server had access to a hacked script that allowed them to dupe items, therefore allowing them to get all the Batwings. The reason behind this is that the server needed more members to join, and in-order to do this, they decided to do an invite reward with one Invite would reward you with two Batwings, if you invite your friend or anybody. The more invites you had, the more Batwings you got.
What happened:[]
People then started realising about the server and start inviting their friends in-order to get it. People quickly made videos about it on Youtube which gained attention to the community. On 19th August, 2021, Nikilis banned dupers who had over 190 Batwings resulting the supplier for the Discord server getting banned from the game.
Victims[]
- Nikilis: Blamed for the incident.
- Batwing Traders: Lost their value heavily.
- Dupers: Banned.
Aftermath[]
Batwing's value had dropped heavily and the weapon was disliked by many users, including traders, but it has recovered and is now decently wanted. The Discord server that duped the Batwings had cancelled their invite rewards due to the supplier got banned during the ban wave. Many traders were upset about this incident but praised Nikilis for his actions dealing about the incident.
Days after the ban wave, hackers developed a new script to dupe multiple knives and guns in game. Many players were worried about losing their value again. Collectibles such as JD, Blossom, Hearts, Snowy (2015), Nutcracker, Green Elite lost their value and demand. Some collectibles today, such as JD, have regained some value.
