I'm not sure if using glitches should be a separate category but I found this video (all thanks to Reddit/metalgearsolid) of 100 clip and sound suppressor equipped rocket GROM. yes a rocket launcher with 100 clip rounds. only works on PC I think:
here is the tutorial for the glitch by the same guy:
There's already an IL on the table that uses this glitch. Also, most descriptions of the glitch are wrong. You don't have to select the corresponding slot on the destination weapon. You can select any slot that doesn't have any customization options. This way, you can put magazines onto weapons that already have magazine customization.
Also, yes it's PC only, and it only works with the mouse and keyboard, and not with a controller.
Also, it matters what you have researched so far. The option that gets applied is always the one from the top of the list. So, eg, if you wanted a sniper scope on your pistol, you better not have developed any red dot sights.
For the most part, this doesn't really matter, since mostly what you want to do is attach a shotgun magazine, or a machine gun magazine, or a barrel with a supressor, and you're never stopped from doing that.
I have a little opinon on the matter. There is indeed already a run with this glitch 22s for MO 31 iirc. I feel like glitches should be put a side, As it break balance of runs. And glitches can be avalable to PC only, and not Y platform and vice versa wich make them bad overall unless in their category.
If we find a glitch that is usable on all versions of the game, like the D-Horse clip, it should definitely be allowed. That being said, since the weapon customization glitch is PC only, it should probably be banned.
I would advocate its ban even if it was for all versions. It can lead to hilarious results, like a suppressed twinbarrel stun shotgun with AMR velocity and accuracy.
I'm fine with it being banned in most categories as long as it's left available for unrestricted any%. I would prefer it left available for S-Ranks as well, but most people seem against me on that.
Though, if it is banned, that will just make console versions categorically the best, rather than the present tradeoff that exists between the versions, since consoles have access to the companion app.
Also, that shotgun seems pretty bad. The shotgun has very low damage per shot, and putting an AMR magazine in it just makes it shoot one bullet that does the damage of a single pellet.
It's essentially an AMR stun sniper with 100% accuracy and VERY high muzzle velocity. The stun shotgun already fires just one projectile to start with. Adding a shotgun mag from the semi-auto gives it a pellet spread, but I think the damage is still spread between all pellets, making longer range shots very improbable. I have so far only tested it on unarmored MB soldiers 100-200 meters away, and it does seem a one hit KO regardless of point of impact. No bullet drop, either, as far as I can tell. The application might not be that useful, but it does allow for pintpoint accurate non-lethal shots AND allor for a launcher or a door opener (AMR). Mostly just a fun weapon, though. Works well in FOB, too!
It's far from pretty bad.
A shotgun spread definitely applies the weapon's damage rating to each pellet. Look at my mission 31. The shotgun magazine on a rocket launcher does way more damage than a rocket launcher alone. I've also put shotgun ammo on the traq makarov and it gets knockouts with body shots. It might work different for the slug shotguns, though.
