The first is a blow torch, which would presumably be able to penetrate metal wall reinforcements. The third gadget is called the “audio alarm” in the code, and according to Artex has been around for a few seasons. This one has a lot of commands attached to it, including lines for “triggered,” stick and “unstickied,” and idle. That’s a lot of exciting stuff to take in, so let’s go over what this could all mean for the future of the Siege meta. What makes these leaks especially exciting is that th

It’s Week 5 of Fortnite Season 4, which means googling the “follow the treasure map in Greasy Grove” Battle Pass challenge the second you log in. This week’s treasure map challenge is as simple as the rest. Just head to Greasy Grove and look for a treasure map featuring a crude drawing of the ‘secret’ evil lair built into the side of the mountain east of Snobby Shores. Or just let us tell you where to go: To follow the Greasy Grove treasure map, you’ll need to head to the skeletal lair’s nose. I

After sitting through 24 hours of livestreamed nothingness—mostly just a screen that said “Please stand by”—Fallout fans finally got a look at Bethesda’s new direction for the series with Fallout 76. Little else is officially confirmed about Fallout 76, but some chatty sources have let loose a few surprising details. If they come to pass, it will be significantly different from every previous Fallout game. Is Fallout 76 an online game? Where and when does Fallout 76 take place?

Some big changes are coming to Bethesda’s digital CCG The Elder Scrolls: Legends, beginning with the team that makes it. The publisher told IGN that developer Dire Wolf Digital is being moved off the game, which will be taken over by Sparkypants Studios, the developer of the 15-minute RTS Dropzone. Hines said the change was not the result of unhappiness with what Dire Wolf was doing, calling The Elder Scrolls: Legends “an excellent game.” Today’s peak Elder Scrolls: Legends player count on Steam

Playniac insists Insane Robots is not a card game. While Insane Robots supports multiplayer battles, it’s a mostly single-player game. Playniac says the flow of Insane Robot’s campaign will feel familiar to fans of roguelikes, especially FTL. If the card battles are the meat of the game, then the arenas are the potatoes. Insane Robots is scheduled to release on July 12.

Aesthetically, the Hydro H150i Pro RGB is a whole different beast from the now-legendary “old-school” H100i we used to know and love. The design, bezel, fans, lighting have all been redeveloped from the ground up around Corsair’s (and the whole industry’s) new obsession with RGB. The real beauty of the Hydro H150i Pro RGB, however, lies in the cooling—or rather, the very obvious lack of noise associated with said cooling. Corsair’s Hydro H150i Pro RGB is a fantastic addition to this mammoth comp

Chris called it a grim and engrossing city-builder in his review , and I was already engrossed after talking to developer 11 Bit Studios earlier this year. Today, 11 Bit announced a slew of free content which will be added to the frosty society sim throughout the year, starting with a tough new survivor mode arriving next month. Frostpunk is plenty hard already, so I shudder to think what challenges survivor mode’s “new, special modifiers” will bring. Additionally, another mode called ‘endurance

If the problem is dated hardware, you can solve that with a new PC, and Dell currently has a pretty nice deal on its XPS Tower desktop with a Core i5-8400 processor and GeForce GTX 1080 graphics card. Using coupon code 50OFF699 at checkout, you can bring it home for $1,079.99. The coupon code shaves another $50 off the price, making this a more tantalizing buy with its six-core processor and burly GPU. As it stands, this is about the same price you’d pay going the DIY route, without the time spe

Nvidia is expected to announce its next generation GPUs sometime soon, with availability perhaps by the end of the summer—we’re still waiting on all the juicy details. One of them is for Zotac’s GeForce GTX 1080 Mini, which is shorter than its full-size brethren. This is a good option for a small form factor PC where space is at a premium. It takes up two slots, just like most of the longer cards, but is considerably shorter at 8.3 inches, allowing it to fit in tighter spaces. It also wields a c

If you’re rocking a relatively recent motherboard, there’s a good chance it has an M.2 slot supporting NVMe solid state drives. Rather than let it sit there looking all lonely and sad, check out this Kingston 480GB M.2 NVMe SSD that’s on sale for $139.99 at Amazon. This same drive was selling for $180 on Amazon earlier this month, before more recently dropping to $160, and now $139.99. You can order it now, however, and the sale is price is good for today only. As an NVMe drive, this SSD shuttle

Not quite two years down the road, he’s kept his word with a Kickstarter for Queen’s Wish: The Conqueror, and just one day after the campaign began it’s already blown well past its goal. Queen’s Wish: The Conqueror is the first of what is planned to be a trilogy of games set in an entirely new world. This being a Spiderweb game, you can handle the task as you see fit: Make peace with the nations of Sacramentum, or crush them mercilessly and expand Haven across the graves of their cities and chil

The world of mechanical key switches just got a little bit bigger with the introduction of the Titan, designed in-house “in its entirety by Roccat,” the gaming peripheral maker announced today. This is Roccat’s first mechanical key switch, which it also says it developed in collaboration with TTC. So why design yet another mechanical switch when there are so many options already? This can result in a single key stroke being recognized as multiple, or even not being recognized at all. Compared to

A rumor surfaced in March on Comicbook.com indicating that the next Assassin’s Creed game will be set in ancient Greece. “Several sources” said it was so, although the site advised approaching the story with all appropriate caution; but it also noted that “murmurs” of a possible Greek setting had previously come up earlier in the development of Assassin’s Creed: Origins. French gaming site JeuxVideo added weight to that story today, and also a possible title, with an image of an Assassin’s Creed

This is the first bit of concrete news to surface on Nvidia’s upcoming GPU plans, though there are still many questions to be answered. According to the schedule that Hot Chips posted, Nvidia’s Stuart Oberman is on tap to discuss Nvidia’s “next-generation mainstream GPU” at 11:30 AM on August 20. Previously it was rumored that Nvidia might launch a next-gen gaming card in July, with an announcement potentially coming next month. That’s still possible, as Nvidia could still discuss details about

Nvidia was first to do so with its GeForce 10 series earlier this month, and now AMD has announced that many of its Radeon RX graphics cards are back in stock. AMD pointed us to several Radeon RX 500 series and more recent Vega cards that are now back in stock, adding that it anticipates “continuing to see greater availability for all Radeon RX series GPUs in the weeks ahead.” It’s been especially challenging to find Radeon RX Vega 56 and 64 cards in stock without a huge markup in price. That ch

I inadvertently returned to XCOM 2 last week, after discovering this hilarious Red Dwarf voice pack mod. The work of prolific creator ∑3245 has since caught my eye—whose player-made Metal Gear-inspired additions to the turn-based alien invasion are great. Over the last several weeks, ∑3245 has added Scout Uniforms, Enforcer and Battle Armours, a selection of Sneaking Suits, Snake’s iconic bandana and eyepatch, and Haven Trooper armours—as first featured in Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, a

In the wake of its spaceport-stroming Thargoid invasion last year, Elite Dangerous rolled out Beyond—the first part of the online space ’em up’s third season. Now, Beyond Chapter Two has a launch date: June 28. As noted above, Tech Brokers supply weapons—allowing commanders to unlock larger variations of existing guardian tech firearms. “Will you turn your weapons on Thargoid or use them to pirate rival Commanders?” Elite Dangerous’ Beyond Chapter Two is due June 28.

PUBG Corp details these changes with the following graphic:PUBG’s latest patch also rolls out new anti-cheat tech to its test servers. “We’ve added a new anti-cheat solution, developed in-house at PUBG Corp,” says this Steam Community update post. “Before we implement this tech on live servers, we’d first like to see how it works out on the test server. The dev says that in order to help refine its new anti-cheat measures, players should select the new pre-match “Enable Anti-cheat” box. PUBG Cor

In the reboot’s follow-up, 2016’s Rise of the Tomb Raider, Lara is more proactive. Shadow of the Tomb Raider is not a horror game, but fear permeates its design. Yes, continuing with the theme of fear, Shadow of the Tomb Raider is bringing back underwater exploration. A big, secretive hub is nice and all, but fortunately Eidos Montreal are more open about one of the most important parts of a Tomb Raider game: the tombs. Luckily, I’m not too afraid: at the very least, Shadow of the Tomb Raider sh

That’s all for you to choose as you begin Disco Elysium as a pot-bellied blowout lying on the floor of a trashed hotel room in an unknown city. Yes, Disco Elysium hinges on an amnesia-powered plot, but don’t let that put you off, because it’s the freshest and most fascinating RPG I’ve experienced in years, perhaps ever; one which plays right into the best aspects of pen-and-paper roleplaying. These skills, you see, are Disco Elysium’s equivalent of agility, strength and charisma ratings, and the
