WSG Flag Grab Exploit

[FallingReign]

With this exploit you will be able to grab the oppositions flag without even being seen. To the other team it will appear as if the flag just disappeared.

I dont know how else to explain this but hopefully as you read on you will understand.

First of all you need to download iLag or WinLag.
Thanks to Flying Piggy for creating the program that makes this possible.

I will not go into great detail on how to use these applications as the author does a great job explaining this in the official threads.

I have provided two explanations below, Step By Step if you just want a quick outline, or Detailed which will explain the process a bit better.


Simple Step By Step
1. Install WinLag/iLag with the provided instructions
2. Open up WinLag/iLag and make sure it has loaded correctly.
3. Queue up for WSG and enter the battle
4. When the battle begins head somewhere in the oppositions base and hide. (You will need to be in the proximity of about 50 yards of the flag).
5. When you think you are hidden well enough, "Generate Lag" with the app.
6. Run to the flag and right click to capture it. (You will not actually pick the flag up)
7. Start running towards your base. (The flag won’t appear until you stop the lag).
8. When you think you are a safe distance "Clear Lag" with the app.
9. The siren should sound and the flag will appear on you. You will be wherever you where when you chose to clear the lag.
10. The rest is self explanatory, run to your base and capture.


Detailed Explanation
Once you have installed the Lag application, make sure it is running correctly by double clicking on the exe file provided.

It should load and you should be seeing something like this...


Leave D/C Protection ticked as you will need this. I usually drag the slide bar all the way up to 25 but I’m not sure if it has much effect on the following.

Queue yourself up for a warsong gulch match and wait.
Once the gates open start heading towards the enemy base.

Run inside the enemy base and find a safe place to hide.
I usually hide next to the door going up to the third floor of the base.
Steathers can go stand right next to the flag if they like :-)

If you know how to get behind the horde flag, or on top of the alliance one, feel free as this is the best spot to do this exploit from.

If you don’t want to get killed running into the base you can "Generate Lag" before you run in and then "Clear Lag" when you are in your hiding spot.

Once you are in your hiding spot make sure no one can see you, you will also need to be within 50 yards from the flag or else when you run to get it, it will not be there.

When you're ready "Generate Lag" with the application. This of course blocks all packets sent to the server. So anything you do after you generate lag, technically does not happen until you "Clear Lag".
When you have started the lag process run and grab the flag. Don’t worry if there if they are all on Defence as they cannot see you.
When you click the flag, nothing will happen. This is intended as stated the server doesn’t know you clicked it yet.

I usually right click it a couple of times just to be sure.
Now start running like hell towards your base. Just as you get out in to the open "Clear Lag" now the server will receive all of your actions all at once. So to the server and other players it will act like a massive lag spike and you will already be half way home.

You can probably leave the lag go longer if there is too many people mid field.


As stated before this works really great if you can get Behind/ontop of the flag areas, as the other players have no chance of seeing you.

If the player kills you, stuns you, or someone grabs the flag before you complete the lag process it won’t work as the server received other information before yours.

I use to use this with some guildies and everyone would be on Defence except for one person. With this trick you don’t even need a good offence.

nice + rep

[shade599]

No offence, but I don't think this is an exploit. This is using a program.

[Dragonshadow]

should go in guides.

Request a move to gues lol...

[FallingReign]

Can someone move this to the apropriate forum?
I'm still not exactly sure where it should go

[BrightChild]

hmmm.. looks interesting.. ill try it out

[Solemn1234]

You can be banned for this, this has happened before to others in eots etc.
can't recommend this.

[Timmid]

good idea.

does anyone know what this looks like to other people? do they see you lagging around or you go to flag and back and to them you never moved? pretty interesting.

Is there a way to dupe using this program?

I had read a post earlier of someone stating they found a method to dupe using this.. but I can't seem to find it again.

[FallingReign]

Anyone have some good success stories using this?
I've found it works best in a group with friends. 3-0 every time

You can be banned for almost anything these days :P

I dont think that you could dupe as it would need to be server side lag not client side if anything.
