Shortly after the hugely successful launch of "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt," a player discovered an exploit where gamers can easily obtain a steady flow of in-game currency. All players need to do in order for the exploit to work is to kill the cows in the field, collect the hides, and sell them for quick cash. They can then meditate for a few hours and upon returning to normal time, they'll find that the cows have already re-spawned and they can then do the thing again. In this way, players will have a steady source of income.
While the exploit does not generate a huge amount of cash, there seems to be a movement in the player community that abhors this glitch, as players need to slay innocent animals over and over again in order to make a quick buck. Luckily, the developer of "The Witcher 3" title has heard the clamor for a solution. However, instead of the normal fix, like taking away the reward money for slaying bovine, developer CD Projekt Red initiated a fix in a more inventive, suggestive manner.
In the patch notes for the recent update on the game, CD Project Red mentioned something about the exploit and about how they plan to stop it using the "Bovine Defense Force Initiative." While no other detail about the exploit fix was stated, players who keep on exploiting the glitch found out about it in-game. It seems that the Initiative comes in the form of a high-level, fast-moving attack monster that easily hunts down lower-level players who kill off cows.
This fix joins other number of improvements that show off developer skills and their inventive ways. Just last month, another developer, Rockstar Games, introduced a new patch to fix a player hack in the "Grand Theft Auto Online" title – making hacked cars explode.
