New World player “Inkassokrav” posted the exploit to the game’s forum, alongside a video showing that it’s fairly easy to replicate. It involves switching the game to windowed mode and dragging said window around, which freezes your character’s animation and makes them unable to take damage. Once you let go of the window, the character will take all of the accumulated damage at once if they were being hit, so it’s not like you can just go running around all immortal-like. Still, unintentional invulnerability is never a good thing where PvP is involved. They don’t give any details on when a fix will be implemented, and in the meantime players are calling for wars to be disabled. New World’s wars are about poaching territory from other factions, so the concern is that someone could use this exploit to become invulnerable on a capture point, stopping the enemy team from effectively attacking or defending it.
