An '''exploit''' is a case in video games where two or more separate mechanics individually work as intended, but when combined, yield an effect that is not intended to occur. Exploits are different from [[glitch]]es, which occur due to programming oversights affecting a singular process; that said, there is some grey area between what can define a glitch and what can define an exploit.
