Middle-earth: Shadow of War’s PC players unlock unlimited loot boxes with cheat app

Middle-earth: Shadow of War is one of a handful of games that is attracting negative attention right now for offering players loot boxes they can purchase to gain a slight advantage. But PC players may not have to spend a dime to unlock these crates thanks to the PC’s many cheat apps.

Cheat Engine, a popular tool that enables people to modify their games to unlock unlimited health, ammo, and more, works the new Middle-earth game. And some players of the new The Lord of the Rings spinoff have found that you can use Cheat Engine to access an unlimited amount of the silver Mirian currency, which they are then exchanging for loot boxes. Warner Bros. is selling a premium gold currency that players can exchange for loot boxes, but Cheat Engine makes it unnecessary to spend any money at all.
