What is a “dupe”?

Current finding / editorial synthesis

Bounded answer

“Dupe” is shorthand for an item-duplication bug or exploit. Duplication can change scarcity and leave large stockpiles, so old anarchy-server histories often use major dupes as era markers. Whether any method works now is a separate, version-specific claim and is not covered here.

Scope: Definition and historical effect only; no reproduction steps, current exploit status, or endorsement.
