****** Please make sure you fill out the following information before submitting a report ******

Don’t forget to check the Known Issues List to see if your issue is currently being worked on by the dev team.
We also have existing workaround for some issues that you can find here

To report a player or company for Code of Conduct violations, please do so here

  • What is your character name in New World: Fluvoxin
  • What server/world did you experience your issue on: Abaton
  • Describe the issue you are experiencing: In all PvP modes we are encountering more and more players who are able to seemingly ignore auto attacks and crowd control. It seems they are stuck in some sort of “iframe” or “invulnerability” state (possibly related to the Rapier skill Riposte). It is not a total invulnerability, as most AoE spells still connect, but we were finally able to record a severe example of this happening in arena. In this video you can clearly see auto attacks connecting with the target (and even proccing weapon perks) but 0 damage occurs at any stage of the fight against the player (even if they are not full health, stunned, or standing still)
  • Is this a bug or an exploit: bug/exploit could be either
  • (if a bug) How did the issue effect your gameplay: Unkillable players = unable to win
  • (if a bug) Were you able to recover from the issue: No
  • (if a bug) Please include a screenshot or video of the issue that you have experienced: New World - Game Breaking Invulnerability Bug - YouTube
  • What are the steps to reproduce the issue as you experienced: It seems some players do not realize they are bugged, while others seem to abuse it and actively try to win because of it
  • When did this happen? (Date and Relative time; please include your timezone) - 23rd June 23:58 CEST

I have also been having similar issues, i have noticed it mostly when auto attacking with Great Axe in a few rounds of OPR yesterday and today.

This makes me think the game is so broken in it’s core code :frowning:

A million times I experienced shooting somebody with perfect aim and bullets just go throught without making any damage. Sadly I don’t record my gameplay so I have no proof to support this.

Ive had this happen alot with just left click attacks. I wasnt sure if it was just because I am bad or if it was just latency desync, but after seein this, im now wondering.

Some players have mentioned privately this may be a bug started by Riposte. As DoT’s and directional/AoE spells DO hit if correctly aimed behind someone in riposte.

It’s almost like he had gained permanent riposte semi-invulnerability
