RELATED: New World Player Spots Ghost Ship While Fishing
On the New World subReddit, a player known as MGFilthy posted a very short video of their character moving around a zone known as Hecker’s Haven. However, instead of a normal running animation, the chracter appears to be sliding along the ground in a stance that would suggest they were about to swing their great axe at an enemy. With their front leg twitching, the character is absolutely zooming across the beach as speeds much faster than the normal running animations.
The comments section lit up as fans found the video to be hilariously entertaining and spawned plenty of Great Axe weapon memes. Others confirmed the New World glitch, having experienced it themselves though were unable to replicate it. A few people seemed to have knowledge on how it can happen, with one saying that when swapping into a different instance while performing a movement ability like a dodgeroll while being on uneven ground can trigger this glitch. Ultimately, it seems to be pretty situational.
New World is available now on PC.
