When I was playing dying light with friend we discovered that every timw you go to sleep and wake up air drop will appear, if you don't know air drops are pretty rare and if you collext them and deliver to one guy you will recieve lots of xp, we used that multiple times to unlock grapling hook very early. Air drops also gave lots of medicine which was hard to get in early game and that very helped us

I sadly don't remember the name of the game any more, but it was an open world rpg around the time of Oblivion and Gothic 3.

It had an alchemy system to create potions and, depending on your skills, it was possible to get a debuff effect instead of a buff. You could also use a potion as an ingredient for a new one, compounding the effects. The exploit was a pretty basic variable underflow: keep combining bad potions and you would get worse and worse results, until at some point the sign on the effect would flip from a number in the negative millions to a positive, giving you a massive boost to whatever stat you had selected for the potion.
