This Overpowered Weapons Glitch Changes BOTW

Weapon Modifier Corruption has changed the landscape of Breath of the Wild, and has given players (With the patience to do it) a way to forge their own powerful and broken weapons however they want. This is not mod, this can be done on any Nintendo Switch. This is both a tutorial on the simplest way to pull this off yourself and an explanation on why this works, because the technical magic behind this is absurd.

Weapon Modifier Corruption was first discovered by Kinak on July 9th 2022, using offset slots to push CookData properties onto weapons. Players then found that combinations of meals and ingredients unlocks custom modifiers with the use of binary numbers. Once this complex work is done, this makes your weapon unbelievably overpowered, and opens new doors for taking on Breath of the Wild’s toughest enemies.

If you have any questions, go ahead and comment below! I’ll also post some frequently asked questions!

Q: I wanted the more powerful Dragon Horn recipes, but how do you get them without arrows? What should I do?
A: It’s a little tricky, you’ll have to dedicate some time to grab these separately. The most efficient way is to save your setup file and don’t touch save again, then pick up some arrows, and talk to Impa to spawn dragons. Save Naydra, and find Dinraal and Farosh, and hit their horn (Also, the first dragon part you hit is 100% scale, so you’ll have to hit the first dragon twice). Once you have the three horns, Inventory Slot Transfer just those dragon horns back in time onto your setup file. Just make sure arrows didn’t transfer over with them, then save your game, close and restart. You’ll now have the dragon horns on your setup file to cook with and no arrows still!

Q: I did a different method of Weapon Smuggling during the Arrowless Offset, is that okay?
A: Yup, either method works the same, this method just picks up the bomb and smuggles at the same time, it saves some time.

Q: I want to keep making more weapons, but the weapon I just made is between my meal and my equipment I want to corrupt! I want to keep it too, what do I do?
A: Bolson is the answer! You’ll need to get some rupees and some wood first, but once you unlock your house, mount your equipment on the wall of what you want to keep, then you can freely keep working while keeping previous equipment!

The glitches in BOTW are literally just mods of their own at this point, it's insane.

BotW glitches are getting so complex that they sound like those old gaming myths like “If you run around Lon Lon Ranch in OoT 69, 420 times then unplug your N64 you’ll obtain the Triforce.”

At this rate, we're going to be able to do literally everything except skip the Great Plateau.

Hey I just want to say I can tell it took a ton of time and effort into making this so thank you for doing that. Most youtubers probably would’ve made a half-assed video that’s over-complicated and under-explained. But you took the time to make it fully replicable and understandable for the average person. So thank you for doing so!

[TheCaptainDolphin]

Actually insane. I appreciate the clean and simple explanation of the glitch, especially showing the theory behind it in order to make your own modifiers, resources that people can use, as well as examples.

[ElDuende]

Amazing video. Hopefully this should answer people's questions about what's going on behind the scenes.

[joseybryant]

The fact that this series exists, and that people still play this wonderful game, brings me such joy. Thank you for these videos.

[jbradleymusic]

I love that probably one of the biggest reasons these glitches have been found is because Nintendo just can't get the sequel out and so the community just continues to break the original game more and more.

[deltawastaken]

I love how immersively Rin explains these glitches. It feels like watching a pannenkoek video!

[shawnthibodeau]

Wow, I’m not surprised it took this long to figure out this glitch. That is one of the most random and complicated inputs I’ve ever seen for a glitch

[Peterll]

That's insane, I only wish I had the patience to go through with it 😅Amazing job on the explanation Rin, that was incredibly clear and easy to understand.

For anyone that doesn’t know, I find it easier to go towards the right of Hyrule castle to get at least 62 apples, especially if you are going to corrupt the master sword, as it is on the way to the sword

[Chubby_Bub]

Thanks for explaining the technical details like which values transfer, and how they cause different modifiers. Not only is it very interesting, but it makes the glitch a lot easier to understand for me.

[romanfuchs]

Wow, this new glitch is insane and super complicated! Thank you for this amazing video! Super helpful and informative!

[plaguelord]

I love all the glitches in botw that people discover, they’re like using weird spells to do whatever you want

Finally a proper yet concise video summarizing and giving clear direction about these glitches. Was tiring watching 4 hour streams to see the short story. Thank you

[KLightning]

From easy bow of light, to custom weapons modifiers, this year has some INSANE glitches.

[Painted_Owl]

Wow, this is awesome. Technical file/coding descriptions, straight forward visuals and step-by-step guide. There is no room for interpretation or misinformation, and I love it

[anmolagrawal]

Somewhere in me I feel glad that there are passionate individuals out here working on this sort of stuff in immense detail.
Massive respect!
