Summary
Genshin Impactplayers have discovered a major exploit making the rounds within the game’s Co-Op system with the ability to permanently delete objects from a player’s world. Hacking and software modification have been a major gray area for the popular HoYoverse RPG with many private servers existing allowing players to modify the game.HoYoverse has frequently taken legal actionagainst players using third-party software, as well as those leaking content from the game early. Now, players have discovered a dangerous new hack within the Chinese servers.
While many players are not as familiar with the hacking scene forGenshin Impact, the game has seen a wide variety of bugs throughout its nearly three-year lifespan. One of the game’s most well-known bugs allowed players to use Nahida’s idle animation to fly, often granting access to normally off-limits areas of the game. Players have also claimed several bugs have persisted since the game’s launch, with Mona’s first Constellation serving as a common example. Now, however, a recent exploit abused by hackers is majorly altering players' in-game worlds.

Several key pieces of information have surfaced recently fromGenshin Impact’s Chinese servers, revealing a major exploit usingSumeru four-star character Kavehand third-party hacking software. The software reportedly allows the hackers to delete major objects from other players' worlds in Co-Op using the character. This reportedly sees the objects permanently deleted from the player’s world, not returning even upon re-installing the game or using other devices. HoYoverse has yet to make an official comment about the game-breaking exploit.
The list of objects reportedly able to be deleted using the software includes several major pieces ofGenshin Impact’s gameplay. Statues of the Seven can reportedly be deleted by Kaveh using the exploit, stopping players from activating the Statues and lighting up the game’s map. Other puzzle mechanisms likeFontaine’s Pneuma and Ousia mechanismsand Time Trials can also be deleted, leaving players unable to complete the challenges and claim their rewards. Some videos have even shown in-game bosses like Childe and Azhdaha being deleted using the exploit.
While no official fix has been confirmed for the Co-Op exploit,Genshin Impact’s newest hacking incident will likely see HoYoverse taking legal action once again. HoYoverse has frequently called out both the game’s hacking community and its plethora of leakers, with someleakers even being sued by theGenshin Impactdeveloper. The studio recently increased its efforts to crack down on the gray areas of its games earlier this year, reportedly seeing multiple arrests in China ofGenshin Impacthackers. Fans can hopeGenshin Impact’s ongoing Kaveh hack will be taken down soon.
Genshin Impactis available now for PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices. A Switch version is in development.
