It has come to my attention that people have taken advantage of duplicating on Terraria for the Nintendo Switch. I just wanted to make this issue public so that it can be fixed as soon as possible.
I know people will be unhappy with me posting this because they don’t want the duplication bug to be fixed, but you have to earn the items for yourself! There’s no fun in just duplicating hundreds of expert hardmode loot bags to get developer armor. There’s no satisfaction in doing that. The way the bug works is you enter a friend’s online world and they have a chest. Before you place the items you want to duplicate, you turn off autosave. Then, once you placed the items in the chest with autosave off, you head the home menu and close software. Then, the chest will have the items and the items will be in your inventory.
Another bug is the Vortex Beater bug. Basically, while you shoot the vortex beater, you use the touch screen to tap on the first weapon in your inventory. (The first weapon is the weapon on the top row on the left corner of your screen) Then, the weapon will start to become broken. It depends on the weapon: if you have a Solar Eruption, you will start shooting 5 solar eruptions. If you have a summon staff, you can summon infinite summons. A portal staff, infinite portals and the list goes on.
Again, I know people will be mad at me for making the developers aware of this (if they see it, of course), but it’s been getting out of hand. I crafted a Drill Containment Unit for my friend, then he duplicated it and gave it to a few of his friends. Now, nearly my entire Discord server has Drill Containment Units, even though they’re still in pre hardmode. They didn’t earn it themselves, they just leeched onto my earnings and took it for their own.
