Starfield Player Discovers An Explosive Glitch That Turns The AK Into A Rocket Launcher

The Old World Assault Rifle is already one of the most coveted weapons in but one player managed to make it even more powerful thanks to a mysterious (and explosive) glitch. While it may seem strange that a firearm from hundreds of years in the past be as strong as it is in 's far-flung future, there's no denying its stopping power, magazine capacity, and rapid-fire functions. Many players have taken to simply referring to it as the AK-47 due to it resembling the iconic rifle but this bugged version is something else entirely.

Posted to Reddit by user MotoJimmy_151, the player shared a clip of their Old World Assault Rifle firing a barrage of bullets that detonate with a massive explosion when they hit the building at which they're aiming.

The fireworks are so bright and blinding that the screen becomes almost unreadable, prompting the player to state that they think they've somehow managed to break the game. While the weapon wasn't used on a standard enemy, one can only imagine the kind of damage the explosions would have dealt if they hit even the most monstrous Terrormorph.

Starfield’s latest update added a decent amount of new content, but players need to be extra cautious to not sell one especially useful item.

Given the display of power highlighted by MotoJimmy_151, many players were quick to enquire as to the nature of the glitch since they wanted an opportunity to gain their own nuclear AK-47. Unfortunately,replicating the glitch has proven difficult as the original poster doesn't know what caused the gun to experience such a severe bug. Some suggested that MotoJimmy_151 may have had mods installed that resulted in the excessive explosive damage but they insist that they have no such add-ons.

They do concede that they do have a few mods installed but none of them focus on weapons; the only add-ons they have installed provide bonuses like infinite XP, unlimited ammo, and no carry weight restriction meaningnone of the installed mods should impact the kind
