  1. The Secret Mila quest has been on the lips of every Fisch player since a set of mysterious clues started to appear on the Discord server. So far, the leaks have been quite cryptic, which all started with a short video, followed by a sequence of images. It's unclear, at least as of the writing, what the quest exactly refers to. However, I firmly believe that it has to do with some kind of a new boat/rod (I might be wrong), so let's take a look at what we know as of writing. Disclaimer: Article to be updated as we keep getting more clues on the official Discord. Fisch Secret Mila quest guide Earlier in February, we got access to a secret bunker at the Birch Clay location during the release of the Ashfall update. If you're yet to find it, just check out our guide, which lists all the steps to get to the location. Until now, the bunker has been pretty empty, and it would have felt redundant to visit. However, things have changed thanks to the secret Mila quest. The first hint has a small video where the Mila cat tells you that it's your last warning. If you go to the bunker, you'll find the exact scene, along with more images of Mila cat. Next, there's a Mila cat present at the merchant in Forsaken Shore, which has a glowing effect. The developers uploaded two more interesting images. One has the presence of a paw print on the floor, while the other represents a crime scene. I firmly believe that we will have to go to the same location (of the crime scene) to get our reward. Image via Roblox The developers have also updated a cryptic clue that reads like this. I was wandering through the ruins when I heard a whisper— two voices, overlapping. I turned, but nobody was there. The fog was thick, and I could barely see four feet ahead. I reached out, but my hand passed through nothing. I took a step back, only two seconds later realizing I was standing on the edge of something deep. Then, just before I fell, I heard it again—one final whisper: "You shouldn't be here." I believe the quest will be active as part of the next core update, which is expected to be Mariana's Veil. Interestingly, the developers have also uploaded the image of a submarine, along with stating that it's meant to be used for something. What exactly we might need it for is something that remains unknown at this point. I won't be shocked if this is the boat we will be able to get by completing the Mila quest when it eventually becomes available in Fisch.

  2. Early on in Severance Season 2 Episode 6, Milchick has a discussion with Ms. Huang in which he speaks of Wintertide, which may have seemed like a mysterious reference. Let's take a look at what exactly Wintertide is in Severance and why Milchick made a reference to it in the episode Attila. Image via Apple TV+ What exactly is Wintertide? Wintertide is a school, university, or some sort of training program in the Severance universe, more than likely with a direct relation to the company Lumon. During promotional activities leading up to the start of Severance Season 2, the LinkedIn account Lumon Industries which is used for marketing purposes for the show, made a direct reference to Wintertide as its connection to Ms. Huang. Here's what the post said: "Felicitations are in order for this quarter's Wintertide Fellow: Ms. Huang. Her green outlook is precisely what Lumon aims to cultivate as an organization. She will be invaluable on our severed floor." The post is accompanied by an image of Ms. Huang with the note "New Hire Day! Please Welcome Ms. Huang". Now let's compare this to the words of Milchick in Severance Season 2 Episode 6, in which he tells Ms. Huang, "I feel I should remind you, you cannot graduate from this fellowship until I have deemed you Wintertide material. This will mean using your time well, focusing on your own duties, and eradicating from your essence childish folly." So after some understandable confusion based on how the events of Season 2 have played out so far, it would appear Milchick is in fact in a leadership position of Ms. Huang, despite it looking possibly the other way around. It appears as though Ms. Huang is on some sort of fellowship/intern program at Lumon in order to gain access to either an educational institution or training program named Wintertide. And, according to Milchick, it is he who has the final say on determining whether or not Ms. Huang is in fact "Wintertide material". It's likely Ms. Huang was overstepping simply to try and prove herself management material to Lumon, but I'm sure we'll see more of Ms. Huang and her intentions as we enter the second half of Severance Season 2.

  3. Late in Severance Season 2 Episode 6, Attila, we see someone going through Irving's box of things in his home, most importantly the list of names of Lumon employees. However, we don't get a direct look at the person's face. So who was looking through Irving's thing in the Severance Attila episode? Image via Apple TV+ Who was looking through Irving's things The person looking through Irving's things in Severance Season 2 Episode 6, titled Atilla, was Mr. Drummond. If you forget who that is, Mr. Drummond has the position of Global Management at Lumon Industries. He was introduced earlier in Season 2, and is the Lumon employee we've seen speaking with Helena quite often, and who also did Milchick's performance review alongside Natalie. Even though it only showed the character's eyes as he looked through Irving's things, there's actually a ******* hint that gives away that it is in fact Mr. Drummond doing the deed. How do we know it's Mr. Drummond? As Mr. Drummond is looking through Irving's things, look at this hand, more specifically the tattoo on his hand. The tattoo is simply the word Frolic. It's in the same exact position we've seen earlier in the season that Mr. Drummond has the same exact tattoo. While it's not impossible that it could be another Lumon employee with the same tattoo—after all, Frolic is important to the Severance story, being one of Kier Eagan's four tempers—it is in the exact spot we've seen on Mr. Drummond and the close up angle of his face certainly looked like it could be him anyway. Now that we know it was Mr. Drummond going through Irving's things in Severance Season 2 Episode 6, let's ask the more important question: how did he know Irving would be gone? It's possible that Lumon has simply been watching his house for the opportune moment but after the ending of the episode, I think it's more likely that Burt, played by Christopher Walken, might actually still be more involved with Lumon than we've been led to believe.

  4. For a show like Severance, the episode titles are often clever hints towards what's actually going on. In Season 2 Episode 6, titled Attila, the meaning of the title is actually more comical than anything. Let's explore the meaning of the title Attila for Severance Season 2 Episode 6. Image via Apple TV+ What is the Attila meaning for Severance Season 2 Episode 6? The title Attila for Severance Season 2 Episode 6 is actually a reference to Attila the Hun, who ruled over the Huns for nearly 20 years from the year 434-453. So what does that have to do with Severance? Well, it has more to do with the relationship between two characters in the show: Burt and his partner Fields. After an encounter between Burt and Irving in Season 2 Episode 5 titled *******'s Horse, the two met for ham alongside Burt's husband Fields. During introductions, Fields—played by legendary actor John Noble—refers to Burt as Attila. Noticing a confused Irving, Burt immediately explains that early on in their relationship they used to call each hunter "Hon", an endearing term that is short for honey, and a common "nickname" between two people in a relationship. As Burt would explain it, that eventually turned to them calling each other Attila. This is clearly a play on words of the word "Hon", referencing Attila the Hun (or Attila the Hon, jokingly). Interestingly, Attila the Hun was known for his military conquest across Europe and the Roman Empire, and earned the nickname the "Scourge of God" due to wide-spread destruction and brutality against his enemies as he expanded the Hun Empire. While this could just be irrelevant information in the scope of Severance and specifically the title of Season 2 Episode 6, it may also be somewhat of a nod to Burt, who admits to Irving that he "used to be a bit of a scoundrel", and references that one of his regions for joining Lumon is that he and Fields feel as though Burt's soul is destined for Hell after death based on his earlier actions in life. Furthermore, dialogue in a show like Severance always serves a purpose. As Irving leaves, Burt tells Irving that Fields memory "gets fuzzy at times" before referencing him claim that Burt has worked at Lumon for 20 years, despite Severance technology not being that old. It's quite possible Burt is a long-time employee of Lumon, and may have some ulterior motive with Irving. The post Why is Severance Season 2 Episode 6 titled Attila? appeared first on Destructoid.

  6. Before the rabbits inherited Earth there were humans, but they're long gone and not a concern any more. Humanity wasn't shy about leaving the broken remains of its civilization behind, though, and the rabbits have been raiding the scrap piles for centuries for anything that can make life in the ice age a little more comfortable. Stamp, known as Rusty to his friends, is a grizzled old bunny living the quiet life excavating Smokestack Mountain, listening to the secrets the junk is trying to tell him and minding his own business. His old life is gone but the new one isn't so bad, and then one day a group of young rabbits known as the BBs come to town to see what they can find in the mountain. They may not be rivals but the BBs are definitely green, so it doesn't take long for a lonely old rabbit to get dragged into their adventures whether he wants to or not. View the full article

  8. Avowed’s main story is full of big choices, including who to side with at Solace Keep, Mihala or Kostya. At first, this appears as though it will be one of the more difficult decisions in the game: Mihala clings stubbornly to tradition to the point that it is hurting her people, but ultimately seems like a more virtuous person. In contrast, Kostya is underhanded and wants to sell his ancestral home to Aedyr and the Steel Garrote, but his stated goal for doing so is to help his starving people. View the full article

  12. Following nerfs released during the 24th season of Apex Legends, Ash has received two sequential changes that have curbed this assassin’s lightning-fast lethality. At the start of this Apex season, named Takeover, Ash received a mini-rework that changed both her passive ability and the upgrades she chooses throughout a match. Specifically, Ash can now do one mini-dash every five seconds, which allows her to reposition during combat and easily dodge bullets. View the full article
  13. Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii marks the first time side character Goro Majima has ever starred in his very own game. However, the Mad Dog of Shimano may be different from how most players remember him: the game begins with Majima washing up ashore on a remote Polynesian island with a bad case of retrograde amnesia, unable to remember where he comes from or where he was going. In short order, he makes friends with the islanders and commandeers a pirate ship, and together they set sail to discover the lost treasure of the Esperanza. View the full article
  14. Player housing is finally on the way for World of Warcraft with the Midnight expansion, much to the delight of the community, with both factions getting a unique zone to set up their home base in, inspired by various zones from around the world.

Here are five we’d love to see in WoW‘s next chapter. View the full article

  16. Project Orion, the in-development sequel to Cyberpunk 2077, is slowly cooking in the Unreal Engine oven at CD Projekt Red. As part of its efforts to speed up and advance development, CDPR revealed an interesting detail regarding the upcoming title in a job listing, confirming it’s sticking to first-person perspective. A job listing shared on LinkedIn by CD Projekt Red Boston seeks a senior animator, whose work will involve the development of animations and assets “to enhance the players immersive experience in first person view.” This tiny detail seems inconsequential, but the confirmation of a first-person perspective for the second Cyberpunk game has the community split on the issue once again. When the game initially came out, players were dissatisfied with it being first-person both during gameplay and cutscenes, which severely limited how much you can engage with your character’s looks that you might have meticulously crafted. The sequel appears to be going down the same path, though we don’t know yet if this first-person perspective will once again entail cutscenes or simply focus on gameplay. View the full article
  17. Loot boxes are back in Overwatch 2, but they’re not exactly hitting players with that rush of nostalgia Blizzard probably hoped for. Instead of rekindling fond memories of the OG loot box openings, players are finding the whole experience underwhelming. It turns out that the grand return of loot boxes has come with some letdowns. The new animation? Lackluster. The reward distribution? Not great. The delayed claims for the free loot boxes from the Discord Quest? Frustrating, as I experienced myself. Even with the excitement of earning free cosmetics, the community isn’t exactly thrilled. View the full article

But Starless Abyss aims to give you a similarly intense strategic experience, but in the form of a turn-based, deckbuilding roguelike. It delivers it with a cool, retro-Eldritch aesthetic too.

  23. Killing Floor 3 has different Specialists to choose from for players, and all of them have their own dedicated set of skills to unlock. As you level up a Specialist, you'll gain access to a detailed skill tree with different options to choose from. Each skill tree has various options, and quite often, you'll have to sacrifice one in favor of another. Let's take a look at how you can progress through the skill tree and make your Specialists even more powerful. How to get new skills in Killing Floor 3 Whenever you complete a match, your chosen Specialist will gain a lot of XP. The amount of experience points you get will largely depend on whether you managed to survive all waves or not. Rounds started at higher difficulty will also allow you to level up your Specialists quickly. Image via Destructoid The first task is to gain as much XP as possible. If you check my screenshot above, you'll see that a lot of skill paths are currently locked, as I haven't leveled up my Specialist. As you keep leveling up, you'll be unlocking different paths. Once you have unlocked a path, you'll have to make a crucial decision: choose the skills you want to unlock and upgrade. For that, you'll have to spend your Proficiency Points carefully. While you can always get these points by completing objectives and playing more, they aren't available in unlimited amounts. Additionally, Proficiency Points are required to upgrade your skills as they can be improved. If you have been using a skill and its effects, you can invest more Proficiency Points to make it even better. Of course, that will automatically mean that you'll have to miss out on other skills and their effects. In the beta, the main way of obtaining Proficiency Points is just to play the game. It's better to prioritize playing with a Specialist you love as it will allow you to gain more points, which in turn will allow you to improve it faster. It's best to experiment as much as possible in the beta, and you should look to try different builds with all the available Specialists. Once Killing Floor 3 gets a full launch in March 2025, the aim should be to get more meta builds that will help you to operate your Specialists in the most efficient manner possible.

  25. You will find unique armor, boots, and gloves in Avowed scattered across the Living Lands' four main regions, which include Dawnshore, Emerald Stair, Shatterscarp, and Galawain's Tusks. Unique armor comes in three standard varieties: light, medium, and heavy. Your build, playstyle, abilities, and more will determine which type of armor suits you best. As a fan of pure Ranger builds, I almost always opt for a light armor set, and there are a ton to choose from as you progress through the Envoy's journey. Gloves and boots in Avowed also carry unique effects and can complement your choice of armor in various ways. View the full article
