The best memes from the Genshin Impact Kaveh hack of 2023

Over the weekend, news of a malicious Genshin Impact hack began circulating around social media. Through use of third-party plugins, bad actors could abuse a Kaveh ability in Genshin Impact to explode Dendro Cores and delete any interactable enti🐈ty 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 con🎃tent that was produced during the ordeal.

Deleting Paimon

Joking about using Kaveh to delete Genshin Impact mascot character Paimon was a recurring theme in the community. Paimon is somewhat of a polarizing c🤪haracter due to her high-pitched voice and tendency to speak for the Traveler. Although she is beloved by many, there are some (like ) who would rather see her gone.

had 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.
