Argossean Latrine allows infinite stacking of armor and health bonuses on thralls (PS4/PS5)

, ,

Game Mode: Official / Private

Game Type: PvP / PvE / PvE‑C

Summary:
The Argossean Latrine decoration item from the Bazaar can be used to infinitely stack armor and health bonuses on thralls. This results in thralls reaching millions of HP and being able to one‑shot any enemy in the game. The exploit works on both PS4 and PS5. The stacked buffs disappear after a server restart but can be re-applied immediately using the same method.

Expected Result:
Thralls should receive only the intended single bonus from the decoration, or none at all. Bonuses should not stack repeatedly.

Actual Result:
Every interaction with the Argossean Latrine applies an additional armor/health bonus to the assigned thrall. These bonuses stack without limit, allowing thralls to reach extreme, game-breaking stats.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Acquire the Argossean Latrine from the Bazaar.

  2. Place the Latrine in your base.

  3. Equip your thrall with pants that provide the desired bonus (Strength, Agility, Vitality, etc.).

  4. Assign the thrall to the Latrine.

  5. Place the thrall in a guarding position near the Latrine.

  6. Repeatedly interact with the Latrine.

  7. Observe the thrall’s armor and health increasing with each interaction.

  8. Continue interacting — the bonuses stack infinitely. (profit lol)

  9. After stacking, the thrall can one‑shot enemies and may reach millions of HP.

  10. Restarting the server removes the stacked buffs, but repeating the steps re-applies them.

Frequency:
Every attempt.

Server:
any server

Hardware:
PS4 / PS4 Slim / PS4 Pro / PS5 + HDD/SSD

This exploit has a severe and immediate impact on game balance across both PS4 and PS5. Because the Argossean Latrine allows infinite stacking of armor and health bonuses, any thrall can be boosted to millions of HP and deal one‑shot damage to all enemies, including bosses. This completely removes challenge from PvE content and creates an overwhelming advantage in PvP environments. The exploit is easy to reproduce, requires only a Bazaar item, and can be repeated after every server restart. As a result, it poses a significant risk to the fairness, stability, and integrity of official servers and undermines the intended progression and combat systems.

This issue also contributes to a growing perception that Bazaar items can create pay‑to‑win advantages. The Argossean Latrine is a paid cosmetic decoration, yet it enables an extreme gameplay exploit that allows players to generate thralls with millions of HP and one‑shot damage. This is not the first time a Bazaar item has unintentionally introduced major balance problems, and repeated incidents like this undermine player trust in the fairness of the game’s monetization system. Addressing this exploit promptly is important not only for gameplay balance, but also for maintaining confidence that paid cosmetic items will not provide unintended competitive advantages.

Welp. If anyone wasn’t doing this before they sure are now :joy::joy::joy::joy::joy: way to tell the world how to do it

It doesn’t work anymore!

Please can people confirm whether this is an ongoing issue or is fixed - we have one ‘vote’ each way so far - so that I know which section of the player-maintained bug lists to add this to. Thanks. I hope it can go into the ‘Solved’ section rather than continuing to be a problem for folks. :slight_smile:

This still works!

But instead of giving this a priority, take away those stable DLC.

Because this stable DLC has been a problem for like a year, they did one useless patch for it.

Its been crashing servers for a very longtime and gets abused on active pvp servers every day.

People reported it multiple times and we always get the same answer, that it has been forwarded to the team.

My main question is, wich team?

Because since UE5 there is no team for UE4 anymore. Tencent made patches and they are ready to go, but they get applied slowly to save time and work on UE5.

Hence why Funcom lost some content creators that worked closely together with them.

Its okay if things are on slow progress, but be transparant about it.

Its very tempted to expose the conversations with those people and the people working on our game, especially when you read claims that a team is investigating stuff.

Just for once, lets forget about money coming in through a stable DLC.

Turn the DLC off, till this game breaking exploit is fixed.

Remember how we turned gods of because of a exploit.

I dont know whats worse, a pvp community where servers get dropped because of a stupid money related building piece as soon as you place a bomb at the enemy base.

Thanks for confirming.

Unfortunately, I’m just another player, so have no power to get anyone to do anything.

But I’ll add this bug/exploit to the player-maintained list. The Stable exploit is already on there (and I’ll link your comment as another link for it).

Hopefully they do something about it soon.

Reporting exploits isn’t the same as promoting them. If nobody speaks up, they never get fixed. Funcom can’t address game‑breaking issues if players hide them, especially when Bazaar items are involved. Transparency is the only way these problems actually get patched.

it is very much an ongoing issue

I understand that, but what was probably a relatively contained issue is now going to multiply exponentially.

There are other ways to report things :woman_shrugging:t2: or, without the step-by-step how-to perhaps.

We cant take Funcom serious.

So yesterday this bug report has been made and Tonight they did put the Latrine in the bazaar :rofl:

Seems like a fast cash grab since its more public now.

This issue was never contained. Every pvp and pve c server had ppl with 1 tap thrallsbefore he posted this.

I’m sure. But now, even more people will do it. See the problem? :joy:

I see no problem. Toxic clans were gatekeeping it and now everyone has access. Now the toxic clans get to deal with normal players using it

I guess that’s one way to look at it :joy::joy: we’ll have to agree to disagree ig.

Luckily, this bug doesn’t work on PC.
