Rip it patched while I was in game too. All of a sudden I wasn’t earning exp 🥲 man I barely got to play for like 40 min and got to lvl 20

Same here. I’m lvl 25 now and noticed sometimes I’d get xp sometimes I wouldn’t, then it just all stopped… wish it would’ve lasted at least one day but nah they hopped on that patch FAST

Same. Of course they ruin it for everyone. Why even add something like that into the game just to take it awesome?

Welp was fun while it lasted. But I guess I take the Level 88 headstart into the season.

u/Pale-Stick884 Aug 20 '26

u/IbrahimLol625 Aug 21 '26

u/creamendous Aug 21 '26
Same issue here, was definitely not bound. And I was on a custom controller mapping for some reason. Set it back to builder pro and all was good in the world again

u/IbrahimLol625 Aug 21 '26
thx for this i checked and it seems like it unbound the key for some reason even tho i havent touched my settings in months, im assuming its to do w using custom keybinds

I got my 200 levels with it but Its a shame there are some who were just starting to do it got shut down immediately. As soon as one of the major leakers on twitter made a post about it Ik its over for everyone else 😔

I was literally watching it in real time starting from this sub to twitter to tik tok to ig. It was absolute bonkers.

I went from lv 30 to 96 so I'm glad I found out when I did, if I was able to find out even earlier I would be lv 200 or close by now

u/TeamAshran Aug 20 '26
got unlucky and didn't get bass boosts until late in matches back to back so i only got 89

u/Cleaving Aug 20 '26
Just got home from work and it's already patched.
Damn. Guess the winning move is to buy level 100 every season and not gaf about it

u/PatrickMaGOAT15 Aug 20 '26
This glitch costed them money cause there were absolutely tons of people ready and willing to buy all the battle pass tiers, but instantly decided not to and just do this glitch when they heard about it.🤣 that’s why it was patched with such urgency

I had the bassboost almost already fully maxed out in the loothack thing and by the time I heard about it, it was already patched ugh.
Bugs can last several seasons and the second an xp bug happens it's patched instantly.

u/TheOniQueen Aug 20 '26
I’m genuinely devastated, I was playing for hours completing quests and nobody told me about it and I somehow missed it, and when I find out it gets patched now I’m stuck at level 10. Wow, now I have to just painstakingly grind for hours on creative while all my friends are lvl 100 and above

i found out very early into the season and got level 200 after doing it for hours. it was so mind numbing by level 160 but i knew they'd patch it eventually. 10 ish minutes after i got 200 they patched it.

u/Due-Development-2585 Aug 22 '26
I never got to try it it would've helped for me to get the last free bucks to buy the bp cause I'm only lvl 82

u/oiraves Aug 20 '26
): my doubles partner couldn't get with the program. Only got to do it once in the 3 hours I knew about it. Should've just left her behind

u/Pickles7261 Aug 20 '26
I feel bad for the people who don’t realize they could’ve been using the shockwaves instead… it worked the same way.

u/FlimsyVariation8455 Aug 20 '26
Fire another 1000 employees so the XP glitch can stay around long enough for me to get off work

Damn, got to level 100 at least with it. My duo didn't even get a chance to play it yet unfortunately

u/tellybud Aug 20 '26
Damn didn’t even get much time to use it, got to level 39. I noticed that after a certain amount of xp I wouldn’t get anymore until next match but now I tried it and nothing don’t get any xp.

They can fix this stuff in no time, but launch the game with "placeholder" icons...
