👉 A fault weapon, also known as a fault trigger or trigger attack, is a type of offensive move in competitive gaming that exploits a vulnerability or unintended behavior in the game's mechanics. When executed correctly, it can cause significant damage or disrupt the opponent's strategy, often by triggering a critical event or attack that the opponent is not prepared for. For example, in first-person shooters, a fault weapon might be a grenade or smoke bomb that, when placed in the wrong position or under incorrect conditions, can blind or disorient the opponent, giving the attacker a tactical advantage. The key to using a fault weapon effectively lies in understanding the game's mechanics and anticipating how to manipulate them to gain an edge over the opponent.
