To make sure you never fall foul of armour screwing you over, here is everything you could ever want to know about both helmets and vests. The key stats for a level one vest are mostly when it comes to 5.56 ARs, SMGs and shotguns. While 55% damage reduction is great, it is worth remembering that durability is a key factor. Level 1 Motorcycle Helmet80 Durability30% damage reductionIn terms of damage reduction, the helmets follow the same structure as the vests, just with less durability for each

One of the big, burning questions going into Star Wars: The Last Jedi is ‘who are Rey’s parents?’ Director Rian Johnson, though, is changing tack. Speaking to Rolling Stone, Johnson isn’t willing to indulge in a surprise for the sake of a surprise. So, don’t go expecting Rey to be the progeny of a wild and steamy affair between Jar-Jar Binks and Leia. Rey’s parents will probably be someone we know, but that shouldn’t be disappointing or delightful in and of itself. This is Rey’s story, not Rey’s

Getting a chicken dinner in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds requires tactics, good aim, and, of course, a lot luck. So, to help you out doing just that, here are a few tips to stay alive. Don’t be afraid to hide out in the blue early onIf you want to stay alive then taking damage might not seem like the best idea, but in the early game it can be worth it. So a full health level two is better than a quarter health level three, as it will last longer. So in order to stay alive you should pick your b

Read more The best MMORPGs to play right now on PC and consoleStar Citizen is ambitious, there’s no denying that. When you start Chronicles, you’ll have 10-14 months to do as much as you can with your character before they wither and die. So you’ll start as a child, grow up into an energetic young adult, then age to become hunched over, wrinkled, and only then will you finally expire. You’ll start a dynasty with your spouse and pass on estates, titles and wealth to the children you have. Plus, r

No, I have no idea why Ryan Reynolds is playing Detective Pikachu. Ryan Reynolds essentially playing Sherlock Pikachu (via Hollywood Reporter) is a step in the right direction. Detective Pikachu will be on the hunt for the father of Justice Smith’s character (the actor will pop up in Jurassic World 2 next year too) who has been kidnapped. Because Ryan Reynolds needs to get that Pikachu walk just right or this whole thing is going to fall apart. The movie idea comes from a Japan-only Nintendo 3DS

Let me tell you a little about Falling Sky, because you’ve never heard of it. Jonathan Nielssen is a student at the National Film and TV School in the UK, attending the Game Development course. Sure, several other people have assumed roles around Falling Sky via scriptwriting, production, marketing etc, but the core creation and execution is purely Jonathan’s remit. Perhaps that’s what lead to the nomination for a Game Award, where Falling Sky is competing in the Best Student Game category. This

Valve may have an aversion to making games with the number 3 in them, but that doesn’t mean franchises like Portal are dead. This week, Valve and ClockStone Software announced a partnership to develop a new Portal game… as a tie-in with ClockStone’s Bridge Constructor series. Bridge Constructor: Portal is pretty much exactly what you’d think: a game where you try to send a vehicle (or multiple vehicles) across a gap in the road, either with an expertly-built bridge or the use of portal technol

If there’s a face of Blizzard’s smash-hit card game Hearthstone, it’s Jaina Proudmoore. It’s very challenging, but a really fun way to play Hearthstone. One of the best ways to do it is to meet with other Hearthstone players in real life. We have the Fireside Gatherings – you can go on our website and we’ll list places nearby you where people are playing Hearthstone. We work on Hearthstone all day and then we go home and we play Hearthstone at night.

No Sam Neill, no Laura Dern, no Jeff Goldblum. But everyone’s favorite proponent of chaos theory and the word “uh” is back for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. It would seem then that Fallen Kingdom will explore some of the fallout from the park’s (second) failure and the casualties that resulted from it. Stay tuned for when the full Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom trailer drops tomorrow, December 7. Until then, enjoy Jeff Goldblum singing his own theme tune for Jurassic Park.

A whopping 50 Gen 3 pokemon are coming to Pokemon Go as part of a big update which also includes the addition of dynamic weather effects. The patch will go live later this week, and even more Gen 3 pokemon will join this initial batch in the following weeks. There’s even a trailer:Being able to catch Torchic, Treecko, Mudkip, and more Gen 3 pokemon is pretty self-explanatory. As for dynamic weather: once the update is live, players may notice the look of the map has changed, and now includes vis

If you’ve been playing Destiny 2 for any length of time you’ll know all about Adventures already. However, with the arrival of Destiny 2: Curse of Osiris you can now activate Heroic versions of those Adventures providing you’re on Mercury and have purchased the DLC, here’s how. First you’ll need to complete all the story missions in Curse of Osiris and return to Brother Vance in the lighthouse to get the next milestone. Once this is done return to Brother Vance for a final time and you’ll unlock

Three months in, and Destiny 2 has just got bigger, with the Curse of Osiris expansion. But then, over the course of its three to four-hour running time, Curse of Osiris’ narrative campaign somehow dodges every opportunity to deal with or change anything of note. As for those Adventure side-stories, which kick in the instant the campaign is over, they’re the fuel of the new, long-term grind for the expansion’s new Lost Prophecy gear. Complete one of those, and you’ll get a Lost Prophecy Verse, w

Here’s nine things I wish I knew before playing Destiny 2: Curse of Osiris. Before you can do that, though, you’ll need to check in with Hawthorne at The Tower to receive your season two clan emblem. It’s a shame, though, especially as Curse of Osiris brings with it a bunch of fantastic looking new Sparrow skins and types. It’s a small thing, but it’ll hopefully speed up your process just that little bit more as you hunt down all of Curse of Osiris’ best Legendary weapons. Those who aren’t donni

Let’s get one thing straight right away: in Batman v Superman, the Caped Crusader and Man of Steel don’t become super friends ‘just because their mums have the same name’. While it’s funny to boil down all criticism of Dawn of Justice to this one misconception, there’s actually a lot more going on in the infamous ‘Martha’ scene. So when Batman is about to deliver a fatal blow and Superman asks him to rescue his mother, it has multiple layers of significance. Clark’s plea shows him that Superman

If you’ve got the Destiny 2: Curse of Osiris DLC then you’ll have already been to the lighthouse on Mercury to see Brother Vance. But I bet you didn’t know that there’s also a chest trapped behind a forcefield here that you’ll want to open. Upon entering the lighthouse head towards the platform Brother vance is standing on and, once there, look at the desk to his left and you’ll see and glowing book. Head past the entrance steps and when you go past the next fire pit look left to find another bo

There might only be one Public Event on Mercury for Destiny 2: Curse of Osiris, but there are plenty of goodies to get once you spark its heroic quality. Triggering the Heroic version of the Vex Crossroads public event is actually relatively simple. Instead, turn around behind where the Keeper of Ages appears and shoot the Vex Crystal hanging in the air. With the heroic event triggered, a Vex Gate Lord will spawn in the centre are. Keep repeating that last process until you defeat it and complet

PlayerUnknown’s Battleground’s new desert map has finally been revealed. After months of datamining and leaks, PUBG’s devs have shown the map off officially, along with info on some of its key locations. Players should secure high vantage points by exploring the numerous construction sites, and loot for gear in the cavernous, abandoned commercial buildings. Valle del MarValle del Mar is a colorful oceanside town bisected by the De Toro bridge. Verticality in both the buildings and terrain make t
