Diablo 4 Season 9 has an easy Infinite Damage exploit that literally anyone can do, and nothing stands a chance

Blizzard made sure to patch out a Diablo 4 Season 9 exploit that allowed players to instantly wipe out mobs on release, but fans have already found a new Infinite Damage exploit that literally anyone can replicate.

Deal Infinite Damage in Diablo 4 Season 9

Discovered by longtime Diablo content creator Mekuna, players using a Sorcerer class character are able to do so much bonus damage against enemies that Blizzard’s ARPG simply can’t calculate the actual damage.

The bug is based on the on the Sorcerer class’ Enlightenment Key Passive. By casting the skill on a different element, the class generates Enlightenment stacks; at 100 stacks, the class becomes Enlightened with buffs to damage, mana regeneration and attack speed.

When combined with the seasonal Horadrim Spell Smoldering Embers and some portal shenanigans, the damage caused by Enlightenment becomes so large that Diablo 4 simply cannot calculate the total sum.

To get the exploit going, players need to rush through a dungeon until the next floor’s portal appears, then build up Enlightenment until it activates. After that, take the portal to the next dungeon and just keep repeating. With Smoldering Embers breaking the elemental bonus for Enlightenment, you’re simply able to one-shot everything in the game.

Of course, this exploit won’t last for very long in Diablo 4, and it will probably be patched out of the game in less than a week. Mekuna, the content creator who showed off the bug, hopes that the exploit will be patched as soon as possible.

“Hopefully that’s going to be fixed quickly,” the Diablo YouTuber explained in his recent video. “We don’t need that in the game.” At the time of writing, Blizzard has yet to address the new exploit, but the developer is usually quite rapid at patching out major exploits.
