The Division Beta Dark Zone Exploit

So, fun fact, players can break a beta! My friends and I accidentally stumbled upon a method that nets players infinite Dark Zone funds and Dark Zone reputation. Unfortunately, this glitch is barely circulating around the Internet. The current sources detailing the glitch have under 1000 views combined. I feel that, for the good of the development of this game, [b]the players should make this exploit obviously known to the development team.[/b] [quote][b]How do players perform the exploit?[/b][/quote] The Dark Zone contains a safe house (marked with a yellow icon on your map in the DZ) that acts as a safe haven for you and your team. Enter the safe house and then leave. Next, you will want to shoot at other players to raise your notoriety. You may only kill one person, or you may go on a manhunt. The higher you are, the more rewards you can obtain. Once you're satisfied, find the map's border and run outside of the beta's parameters. Your screen will turn red, and you will be asked to return to the beta's playable area. Wait out the timer. You can actually go down (the state of waiting for someone to revive you) and the glitch will still work. After the 10 seconds have elapsed, you will find yourself back inside the safe house with your bounty clock ticking. [b]Players can freely wait out their bounty times without harm to easily reap rewards and gain easy access to the best in-game loot.[/b] [quote][b]This will only work in the beta, right?[/b][/quote] Potentially. The soft boundaries are meant for players to stay within the set area. However, glitches can be easily duplicated in various forms. It is important for the development team to catch wind of this exploit so that they can think preemptively stop it from happening in the main game. Sadly, the DZ will probably erupt into a "Kill On Sight" massacre for the final days of the beta. Fortunately, the developers can look into this issue. At least you now have the knowledge to counter players attempting the exploit, or you can use it for yourself to play around with the best loot. You have the ability to prevent players from pulling this exploit off, but you have to work with a team to cut off more than one player trying to escape. If anything, you're going to find more and more players running around with golden assault rifles and purple attachments/gear tomorrow. [spoiler]TL;DR: The Dark Zone is no longer safe, but now you know, and so shall the developers.[/spoiler]
