Diablo 4 players have uncovered an exploit creating infinite damage loops that overwhelm game servers. Learn how this unforeseen build works and why fans express concerns about the Berserk collaboration pricing.

Game-Breaking Infinite Damage Build Cripples Servers

The current season introduces powerful boss abilities that, when combined strategically, create an endless damage cycle impacting server performance. Popular YouTuber Macrobioboi demonstrated this exploit on May 9th, revealing how specific boss powers combined with the Vampiric Curse Legendary Aspect can annihilate entire enemy groups while destabilizing servers.

The exploit requires equipping the Vampiric Curse Legendary Aspect, which permanently applies Vulnerable status to enemies until their death. When paired with:

• The Flesh Reaper's Disruption boss power (normally removes Vulnerable when stunning)
• Varshan's Life Steal boss power (delivers massive damage per activation)

This creates an unstoppable chain reaction where the game continuously processes damage calculations, overwhelming servers as shown in wudijo's gameplay footage. The developer noted: "The excessive computation explains the severe server lag occurring with this build."

Controversial Pricing Emerges in Berserk Collaboration

The Berserk crossover introduces premium cosmetic items sparking player debates about their high cost structure. While free items are obtainable through gameplay, including:

• Hawks Destiny Back Trophy
• Skull Knight's Heraldry Mount Armor
• Brand of Sacrifice Marking
• Foretold Eclipse Headstone
• Od of the Berserker Emblem

The premium armor sets require significant Platinum purchases:

• The Berserker Armor (Barbarian) - 2,800 Platinum (~$28)
• The Hawk of Light (Rogue) - 2,800 Platinum
• The Struggler (Rogue) - 2,800 Platinum
• The Skull Knight (Necromancer) - 2,800 Platinum
• Schnoz Pet Bundle - 2,800 Platinum
• Warhorse of the Hawk Mount Bundle - 2,500 Platinum

The full collection totals approximately $150 (15,000 Platinum bundle with 3,500 bonus Platinum). While similar to previous WoW crossover pricing, many players question whether cosmetic items should cost nearly as much as the base game itself.
