Hey all. Recently I seem to have found a bug that I cant find anywhere else online.

If you spam the hotkey for overcharge (O) and you do not have enough energy you will still be able to use the ability.

This also works if you spam the button as it is coming off of cool-down and it wont take the 2k energy even if you do have it.

This could mean for some missions you don't need to spend time building generators and can just go ham with overcharge not needing to worry! I have tested on all commanders and it works on every single one.

Very strange..

I would highly suggest not using glitches. Supcom2 multiplayer is plagued by glitching and cheaters. As a result, people that use them are perma banned from the community if caught using them against others. While this may be just the campaign vs the AI, speedrunning is also against other players in rankings. Of course you won't get banned here as it's normal for people to abuse the game is Any%s while speedrunning other games. However, keep in mind many glitches are not limited to single player and I would rather not have speedrun videos become advertisements to educate players on how to cheat/glitch and further damage our already small community. For me personally, I won't be using this. If that means I can't beat your times then so be it. A few seconds in a speedrun are not worth it to me considering my time put into working on cheat detection and my reputation. If it were up to me, I would ban glitching here as well. Glitches may be normal for speedruns but this situation is more unique. We would still each have fair equal opportunity to beat eachothers runs without glitches. And I would take pride in beating the game fast with proper mechanics, skill, and knowledge as was intended, instead of cheating the game for cheap wins.
