Malcolm Reynolds, a notorious game hacker abroad, has been working through hacking methods in The Elden Ring to slaughter and put players under house arrest, saying he himself is a "necessary evil."
Malcolm Reynolds has already made a splash in Dark Souls 3 and Dark Souls: Remastered, and now he's appearing in Elden's Ring of Law.
Not only did he hack into players' games and kill them with powerful hacking instructions (a perfectly legitimate game mechanic), his hacking would also hack into players' game data and add invalid items to their inventory, triggering An official ban on FromSoftware.
This project is a debugging project called "pavel" that exists in the game code, not in the game itself. As an invalid item, the game will identify the player as cheating.
To do this, hacker Malcolm Reynolds bypassed Eldon's anti-cheat system, which he considered a exploitable mechanism.
Malcolm Reynolds told the media: "How to bypass the anti-cheat system is another matter. "The anti-cheat feature basically all has a mask. While the mask only cares about 'who it is' and 'what it's doing' in the game, once you take the mask off, the game no longer cares who it is. ”
Once a player is hacked by Malcolm Reynolds, they cannot take any action. Disconnecting or committing suicide in the game may be the best way to avoid house arrest.
Malcolm Reynolds' aim was to expose the system to a hack, allowing FromSoftware and publisher Bandai Namco to conduct a cheat-proof block.
"I am necessarily evil," said Reynolds, "and you might ask whether being punished by the law and being caught is not part of the plan, yes." If I succeed, will the game die? I don't think so, but maybe Bandai can fix it."
