Over the weekend, news of amaliciousGenshin Impacthackbegan circulating around social media. Through use of third-party plugins, bad actors could abuse a Kaveh ability inGenshin Impactto explode Dendro Cores and delete any interactable entity in the overworld. The situation is now resolved, with the developer HoYoverse making a statement that the issues have been fixed and perpetrators have been banned.
Before the official statement though, there was a period of confusion and uncertainty among players. Some panicked. Others responded with memes. Here’s some of the best creative content that was produced during the ordeal.

Careful what you wish for
Created by@neddyoo, this TikTok features Lyney gesturing to things he wants deleted, only to find himself in an unexpected situation. It should be noted that this clip is not an example of the hack in action, just a recreation for entertainment purposes.

Deleting Paimon
Joking about using Kaveh to deleteGenshin Impactmascot character Paimon was a recurring theme in the community. Paimon is somewhat of a polarizing character due to her high-pitched voice and tendency to speak for the Traveler. Although she is beloved by many, there are some (like@zajef77) who would rather see her gone.

Fancomics
Artist@nya_Dekocreated fancomics interpreting the Kaveh hack as canon to the world ofGenshin Impact. Their adorable art style lends itself well to chaos as Kaveh deletes Childe from existence and meetsAlhaitham with glitched hair.

@tinartsshad a more somber interpretation with an 11-page comic where Kaveh is jailed for his actions. I wasn’t expecting to take an emotional hit from a comic referencing a video game hack.

Thankfully, the hack is now fixed and it’s safe to play with Kaveh in co-op. It’s good to see the creative, humorous side of the community during times like these.
