Call of Duty cheat provider, Phantom Overlay, is reportedly shutting down. In a statement posted to Telegram, the cheat provider declined to comment on why it was closing down "immediately," adding: "This is not an exit scam and no external entity could ever compel me to exit scam my customers. I'll keep everything updated, safe, and online for 32 days longer." The reason Phantom Overlay is committed to staying online for 32 days is to ensure people with a 30-day key "get their full money's worth." The cheat creator also said they would partially refund lifetime keys, too. Crucially, many other cheat providers piggyback off Phantom Overlay's systems, so this shock closure could have a broader impact on the cheating ecosystem. "I can't believe it!!" commented one gamer on X, formerly known as Twitter (thanks, Dexerto). "Does this mean the Season 3 cheat update is really gonna work?!" Other commenters were less convinced, with one stating: "They're just rebranding. They have the same provider under multiple names/brands. The cheaters won't stop." Activision recently admitted its Call of Duty: ****** Ops 6 anti-cheat efforts "did not hit the mark" at the Launch of Season 1, particularly for Ranked Play after initially pledging to kick cheaters out of the game within one hour of them being in their first match. It did, however, assure players it now routinely bans cheaters due to increased "velocity" from several Ricochet Anti-Cheat systems, in addition to the over 19,000 accounts it recently removed. The apparent prevalence of cheaters is considered by some to be ruining competitive multiplayer, and Activision had come under fire for failing to address the problem. Things got so bad that last month, with the release of Season 2, Activision let console Ranked players disable crossplay with PC players. Cheating is not unique to Call of Duty, of course, but it has become more problematic for Activision ever since it released free-to-download battle royale Warzone in 2020. But despite investing millions of dollars developing its anti-cheat technology — as well as pursuing cheat makers in the courts, with a number of recent high-profile successes — fans remain sceptical of the Ricochet system. In related news, earlier today, we reported it looks like we'll finally find out more about the return of Call of Duty Warzone's much-loved Verdansk map on March 10.

Inert, Reactive, Polarized, and Heterized Metallic Drip Screenshot by Destructoid You can obtain the Metallic Drips in the Flaming Remnants Forgery Challenge and the Garden of Salvation Forgery Challenge.

Blazing Bone Screenshot by Destructoid You can obtain the Blazing Bone by challenging the Dragon of Dirge in Penitent's End, Rinascita. The Netherworld's Stare Screenshot by Destructoid The Netherworld's Stare can be obtained by defeating the weekly boss - Hecate.

Marvelfans looking to replay one of the franchise's most beloved video games may soon have an opportunity to do so on Steam. Thanks to various licensing disputes and trademark agreements, it's become increasingly harder to track down and play some of Marvel's older video games. Popular titles like Deadpool, Ultimate Spider-Man, and X-Men: Origins Wolverine are impossible to play on PC or current-generation consoles through conventional means, relegating them to older consoles that most modern players likely can't access, but that may soon change.

Rockstar has acquired Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition developer Video Games Deluxe and renamed it Rockstar Australia. Video Games Deluxe has a history of working with Rockstar on a number of games, including the 2017 re-releases of L.A. Noire, L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files, and most recently on upgrades to Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition for iOS and Android, Netflix, and modern consoles. It’s not to be confused with Grove Street Games, which came under fire for the poor quality of the original Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition in 2021, and whose boss said it was a “d**k move” to have been removed from the game’s credits after the recent, long-awaited update went live. “After working together closely over many years, we are excited to have Video Games Deluxe join the team as Rockstar Australia,” said Rockstar Games Head of Publishing, Jennifer Kolbe. Video Games Deluxe was founded by Brendan McNamara, the founder of L.A. Noire developer Team Bondi. Back in 2011, allegations of horrendous working conditions at Team Bondi during the development of L.A. Noire hit the internet. The studio later closed down, and McNamara kept a relatively low profile ever since. “It’s been an honor to work closely with Rockstar Games this past decade,” McNamara said in a comment issued as part of the acquisition announcement. “We are thrilled to be a part of Rockstar Games and to continue our efforts to make the best games possible.” The establishment of Rockstar Australia comes ahead of the launch of Grand Theft Auto 6, which is still set for release fall 2025. In December 2023, a former developer at Rockstar attempted to explain why GTA 6 is coming to PC after it hits PS5 and Xbox Series X and S, and called on PC gamers to give the studio the “benefit of the doubt” over its controversial launch plans. We’ve got plenty more on GTA 6, including Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick’s response to concern about the fate of GTA Online once GTA 6 comes out. Wesley is the *** News Editor for IGN.

With multiple reworks to Exotic weapons and armor hitting Destiny 2 in Episode Heresy, players brought attention to a couple of other weapons in need of changes. One of them is an extremely niche Exotic bow—Hierarchy of Needs. Hierarchy of Needs is an Exotic bow from the Spire of the Watcher dungeon, and as players pointed out in a Reddit thread on March 2, it’s one of the most underused Exotics in Destiny 2. According to the Destiny Tracker, it currently has a 0.00915 percent usage in PvE. To put it into perspective, the Tyranny of Heaven Legendary bow from the Last Wish raid has a 0.0146 percent usage, and the Heartshadow Exotic sword from the Duality dungeon has a 0.0514 percent usage rate.
