Cool glitch

[Nowhere Man]

here's something cool. do you think it's a shame that you can't have all powers with top damage in the hard mode? well, if you disable the auto-equip of all characters, save the game with only one character using an item of that specific character, then change it for any villian dropped item that has only one effect and then kill yourself. Restart from checkpoint and you'll have an item that has the effect of giving 3 skill points to all powers of any character except the one you used to do it.

here's how I did it: equipped Human Torch with an item that gives +3 inferno, and saved the game in Mephisto's Realm. then switched it for Scorpion's Tail and jumped to my doom. When the game restarted Scorpion's tail had the +3 to inferno and then I equipped it to Gambit, and now Gambit rocks!

It can be used in all drops with only one effect and can be done with any secondary effect, so you could have several items with the 20% speed increase of Spider Bite, but I think that having +3 in all powers is the best!

You're kidding me! You've tested this with any other item? Because that glitch has been reported since MUA was first released, but noone has ever been able to find a way to do it on purpose. Until now, that is!
As soon as I get home I'll test it.

[Nowhere Man]

I've tested it with all items...it works perfectly! just have to be careful to disable the auto-equip right from the beggining of the game. otherwise you could end up having a great item like armor of galactus with a negative secondary effect, like with loki's gift

You're right it works! Although I can manipulate the game to make better items, I'd rather mix the ones that already exist. Thank you!

Ima try it today!

[rodrigols]

it didnt work here

I tried with a item that gives Wolverine '11 damage. +3 lethal lunge' and Scorpion Tail.
After the restart, is there a sequence of events like changing immediatly Wolverine with the char you want to give the bonus to, unequip Wolverine or something like that?
When I restart the Scorpion Tail has the same description. Is this supposed to happen?

There was this one time though, when I equipped Surge with Scorpion Tail and all her skills disappeared. But when I got back to the game everything was normal :/

[Nowhere Man]

to be honest, if you followed my instructions step by step I don't see how it wouldn't work.

you restarted from chechpoint, not a saved game, right?

Does this work on the 360 version or only PC and PS2?

Speaking of glitches.....I just fought Crimson Dynamo TWICE on the Omega Base.

I'm running through like my 8th time with the Weapon Specialists (I love criticals) and I finish act 1....but I forgot Hank Pym's Helmet. So I decide to go back to the Omega Base with a different team....so I go with New Avengers (Cap,Iron,Cage,Wolverine) and when I extract to the first shield point....I see there are red X's on my mini map. Well I go to check it out and all of a sudden Iron Man starts talking with Crimson Dynamo....I figured it was just going to be a mess up in coding of just the dialog....but all of a sudden Dynamo appears and I get to fight him again XD. Well I figured might as well check on Mysterio...just happens Mysterio is there too so I fought him too....Maybe MODOK too? So I run through to MODOKs room....but he isn't there. My guess is because the map was separate from the one with Dynamo the game caught on XD. I'm going to try and run back with spider-man and Venom to see if I can get mysterio to appear again, as they both have dialog with him.

Minor bosses respawn, major ones don't.  As programmers often say "it's not a bug, it's a feature".  They probably did that to add to the replayability.

I don't know if it work on PS2 or 360 cause I don't have them.

Thats kewl... I've never had it happen before running through to find stat/skill points. Hmmms

I don't know if it work on PS2 or 360 cause I don't have them.

Well I'm playing on hard and I keep forgetting to unlock Silver Surfer on this file....because I don't play as him and I hate Wolverines Sim Disc. So Most likely it didn't work for me because Silver Surfer still has Auto Equip active till I can turn it off after unlocking him. I'll Stat Boost Wolverine this play trough so I can get his sim disc complete. Then let you know if it works.

-Edit-
Yup it works on 360 XD

This works on ps2. My bionic arm has +1 to hammer toss.

EDIT
I just tried and it didn't work.
