Reddit user Murdering_My_Time recently posted a clip in which he happened upon another New World player while exploring the world of Aeternum. As they entered a corrupted area, Murdering_My_Time ran into another player called OKEEt who was fighting a Plainsblot Swarmer. Although both players worked together to defeat the Swarmer, OKEEt quickly turned their attention to Murdering_My_Time.

With one quick blow, OKEEt kept Murdering_My_Time’s New World character grounded, continuously utilizing an infinite stun hammer exploit. Combining certain skills with gear that optimizes it allows this player to effectively keep an enemy immobilized. According to Murdering_My_Time, they were repeatedly pressing the dodge key which mostly was ineffective as the massive hammer repeatedly slammed them into the ground.
While Murdering_My_Time was being attacked by OKEEt, the stun hammer connected with the grounded player over a dozen times. Although OKEEt was able to keep Murdering_My_Time stunned as long as they were attacking, the clip posted to Reddit ends with them retreating as the pummeled character sought revenge. Murdering_My_Time was able to survive this infinite stun hammer exploit by utilizing the combination of New World’s Life Staff and Hatchet.
Because the Life Staff and Hatchet weapon combination is equally as dangerous in New World, Murdering_My_Time still stood a chance in a one-on-one fight against the infinite stun hammer exploit. Combat exploits aren’t the only ones that New World fans are coming across as players have also discovered several exploits that extend into other aspects of the MMO. One of the major exploits players have found allows New World Companies to easily gain territory.
