Hey guys, what’s up? Did you know? There is a concerning situation happening in Genshin Impact regarding the character Kaveh. It seems that there is an issue or bug where he can permanently remove objects that can be interacted with in the game world. This problem even occurs when playing with other players in co-op.
This exploit started gaining attention when several videos on Bilibili went viral, revealing a player using Kaveh to perform his Elemental Skill on different objects in someone else’s world and deleting them. You can also watch the Bilibili viral video below!
How the Kaveh Hack Works:
This exploit involves using Kaveh’s Elemental Skill, Artistic Ingenuity, on an interactable object, causing it to be deleted. Kaveh’s skill typically destroys Dendro Cores created through Dendro-Hydro Elemental Reaction, but it appears there’s a coding error tagging other interactable objects as destroyable.
The objects affected by the Kaveh exploit range from chests and Elemental Monument puzzles to story-related items like Inazuma’s Kamuijima Cannon, bosses, Statue of the Seven and Domain reward trees.
The damage is permanent, as shown in a bilibili video where logging out and back in didn’t restore the deleted objects, causing significant account progression setbacks.
Safety Measures Against the Genshin Impact Kaveh Hack:
To protect yourself from falling victim to this hack:
- Adjust your Co-Op Mode and Teapot permissions settings to “Reject Join Requests” or “Join After Approval,” preventing unknown players from entering your world directly.
- Avoid using “Allow Direct Join” in both Co-Op Mode and your Teapot settings.
- It might be wise to take a break from Genshin Impact until a solution is found.
- Stick to solo play if you’re uncomfortable with allowing strangers into your world.
To modify your co-op mode settings:
- Pause the game.
- Choose the Co-Op Mode option.
- In the “World Permissions” section at the bottom, select anything except “Allow Direct Join.”
“Reject Join Requests” is a safer choice, but you can still play with trusted friends. Similarly, update your Teapot settings:
- Open the in-game map.
- Access the Serenitea Pot menu at the bottom right.
- Click on the “No guests currently” option at the top right.
- Change the Serenitea Pot Permissions to anything other than “Allow Direct Join.”
Once again, “Reject Join Requests” is the better option.
