Bullet King is an NPC in the video game Tom Clancy's The Division. Bullet King gained notoriety due to an exploit in early game versions that allowed players to respawn named enemies indefinitely, as long as their entourage of minions were never killed. This allowed players to collect the named enemies' superior and high-end loot over and over again. As the Bullet King was the named enemy closest to any player spawn point in the game, he was thus easiest to exploit. It has since been confirmed that Bullet King is a huge fan of the popular Bungie title, Destiny. Many large gaming-related newswebsites reported on the exploit including Kotaku, Rock, Paper, Shotgun, Gamespot and Eurogamer. The glitch has been resolved in patch 1.0.2 of the game, released by Ubisoft on March 22, 2016. It should be noted that "One does not simply stop Bullet King from coming back to life" because he survived the 1st patch and Ubisoft had to take down the servers again to finally stop him from reviving. thumb Ubisoft posted this on their social media accounts: "While maintenance is ongoing, we want to take a moment to say farewell to the Bullet King."
