Valve has launched a new blog feature called ‘Between the Lanes<\/a>,’ where they share behind-the-scenes insights into the development of the globally popular MOBA game, Dota 2<\/a>. The inaugural post, published on July 28, 2023, covers an amusing yet disruptive bug associated with the Techies’ Sticky Bomb ability.<\/p>\n

Dota 2’s updates, while enriching the game with new heroes, items, and abilities, often also result in new bugs due to the sheer scale and intricacy of the game. One such bug that lay dormant for months was the nefarious Techies’ Sticky Bomb glitch.<\/p>\n

This bug arose from a 7.31 update where the Techies’ abilities were reworked<\/a>, inadvertently creating an issue where Sticky Bombs didn’t expire. Moreover, under certain circumstances, they became controllable by the casting player. However, due to the specific game parameters at the time, the bug couldn’t manifest in a match and thus remained unnoticed.<\/p>\n

With the Spring 2023 release of The New Frontiers 7.33 Update<\/a>, a new feature called the Twin Gates was introduced, finally enabling the manifestation of the Sticky Bomb bug. Consequently, Techies players discovered they could guide Sticky Bombs around the map, which became a significant game advantage and spurred conversations on Valve’s GitHub.<\/p>\n
