The best player of Diablo IV of the world
Until recently, the only person capable of surpassing level 150 Diablo IV In record time it was an American player known by the name of Resistance, who took just 1 minute and 59 seconds to escape unharmed from the Bomb Squad. However, Elon Musk claims that he surpassed this record; The CEO of Tesla posted a tweet on X publicly announcing that he had “completed level 150 of Devil in less than 2 minutes.” Specifically, 1 minute and 52 seconds. If the Helltides ranking accepts the time, the billionaire will be recognized as the best player Diablo IV of the world.
An important record for Musk, who apparently managed to overcome one of the most difficult levels of the game by exploiting the ‘Quill Volley Spiritborn’ version, which allowed players to use improved attacks thanks to a bug persistent that Blizzard has no intention of fixing at least until the seventh season of the game. Now it only remains to be seen whether or not he will be awarded official recognition as the best player. Many hope that the businessman will decide to dedicate himself more to gaming than to any other of his functions in Silicon Valley.
