Elden Ring Nightreign boasts impressive gear drops, and players often want to share their loot while keeping their own. A newly discovered item duplication glitch simplifies this process, allowing players to share wealth effortlessly for now.
PC Gamer first highlighted this trick with a concise guide on executing it. The method is straightforward: when two players attempt to grab the same weapon simultaneously, both secure a copy, creating a duplicate without losing the original. (No need to debate which is which—it’s bound to confuse everyone.)
This technique is not only simple but also repeatable with little risk. If the attempt fails, players can just try again. The only challenge is coordinating the drop-and-pick-up maneuver in one spot, which can be risky in Nightreign’s fast-paced world. The calm between days or the alabaster alcove before facing the Nightlord are ideal moments for this.
PC Gamer wasn’t the first to uncover this exploit—YouTubers and Reddit users have also shared details about this simple duplication method, making it widely known.
It’s unclear if FromSoftware will patch this glitch. Its use is somewhat limited, as coordinating with random players online is tricky without voice chat, making it hard to share top-tier gear on a whim.
Even for groups using Discord or other communication tools, the glitch works best when sharing gear others actually need. While Elden Ring Nightreign offers generous drops, each character has unique weapon preferences, so the trick’s value depends on the team’s needs—unless everyone’s playing as Ironeyes, perhaps.
This duplication glitch is particularly useful for players aiming to equip multiple copies of specific weapons, like the Executor, but it’s no game-changer. It’s a handy option for sharing loot, especially if a teammate misses out on strong weapons by the final day.
