How to Duplicate any itemThis MUST be done in solo mode: When you reach a checkpoint during any campaign quest drop the item on the ground you wish to duplicate(Can be your all your items in your inventory). Then kill yourself by using deobombs or molotovs, When the respawn timer begins to countdown pause the game and reload your checkpoint.
