Call it early Cyber Monday or late ****** Friday, but this deal for the Sony Inzone M9 II gaming monitor is live right now and offers a huge discount on the original price of this stunning 4K, 27-inch display. In particular, if you want to take full advantage of the PS5's HDR abilities, this is an ideal option, thanks to its full array local dimming (FALD) backlight that can produce incredibly high contrast images. This display's predecessor, the Sony Inzone M9, has long been our choice for the best gaming monitor for HDR, at least when it comes to LCD displays, and this follow-up is a small but notable upgrade in just about every way. You can get the full lowdown on that original display in our Sony Inzone M9 review, but the main takeaways are that its 4K resolution on a tiny 27-inch screen looks amazing, and its 96 backlight dimming zones do a great job of boosting contrast and brightness in HDR.

The next Tempest Rising update is taking what was already my pick for the best RTS of 2025 to a new level. The Slipgate Ironworks game has clearly pulled plenty of inspiration from the iconic Command and Conquer series; you need only look at its leading factions to see that. But while the international peacekeepers of the GDF and the revolutionary Tempest Dynasty are both very well-equipped to battle each other in the war for resources and control, they've been missing one of the most essential pieces of C&C history: superweapons.

Boy, was 1992 a different time for computer games. Epic MegaGames’ Jill of the Jungle illustrates that as well as any other title from the era. Designed and programmed by Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney, the game was meant to prove that console-style games of the original Nintendo era could work just as well on PCs. (Later, the onus of proof would often be in the reverse direction.) Also, it had a female protagonist, which Sweeney saw as a notable differentiator at the time. That’s pretty wild to think about in an era of Tomb Raider‘s Lara Croft, Horizon Forbidden West‘s Aloy, Life is Strange‘s Max Caulfield, Returnal‘s Selene Vassos, Control‘s Jesse Faden, The Last of Us‘ Ellie Williams, and a seemingly endless list of others—to say nothing of the fact that many players of all genders who played the games Mass Effect and Cyberpunk 2077 seem to agree that the female protagonist options in those are more compelling than their male alternatives. As wacky as it is to remember that the idea of a female character was seen as exceptional at any point (and with the acknowledgement that this game was nonetheless not the first to do that), it’s still neat to see how forward-thinking Sweeney was in many respects—and not just in terms of cultural norms in gaming.

At this point, Project Diablo 2 has easily become my preferred way to play Blizzard's classic. While D2 remains one of the best RPGs of all time, and Diablo 2 Resurrected gives it a fresh coat of paint, the community team behind PD2 has been delivering on its promise of updating and improving it "as if development never ceased." The comprehensive mod is a mammoth undertaking that adds all manner of features, from new items, skills, and enemies to quality-of-life upgrades, and even a full endgame mapping system and uber bosses in the style of Path of Exile.

Something not often discussed in the average Dungeons and Dragons campaign is how normalized death has become. Oh sure, people can still die permanently, often in frighteningly thorough ways depending on whatever entity you angered. But an arrow to the neck or a fireball to the face is fine so long as there's enough bits of you left to bring to a cleric. But what happens if those gods of the afterlife suddenly feel like those bits should be theirs forever?

Chapter 7 Season 1 of Fortnite has introduced three bosses, and you can transform into them with the help of special items. All three bosses offer various loot for you to add to your inventory. They also provide unique medallions that allow you to transform into different bosses. To transform into a boss, you'll have to get their respective medallions. Table of contentsHow to find boss medallions in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1Beach Brutus location and kit detailsHush location and kit detailsHuman Bill location and kit detailsHow to find boss medallions in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 To obtain a boss medallion, you'll have to defeat the boss. Once a boss is defeated, they will drop the medallion. You then use the medallion to transform yourself. When you transform yourself into a boss, your mythic weapon (that you also gain from the boss) will have bonus effects. However, there's no way to remove the medallion once you have equipped it. You'll either have to get knocked out or eliminated for the medallion to go away. Your location will also be displayed on the map for the rest of the round. If an enemy is near you, they will be able to know about your location. All bosses have 125 Shield, 125 Health, and summon two helpers every 90 seconds.

Chapter 7 Season 1 in Fortnite has ten NPCs available all across the map, and you can find them to acquire their services. This guide will help you find them all on the map, along with including details about what type of services they offer. A couple of them are directly tied to the quests in the current season. The rest of them will be permanently available during Season 1. How to find all the NPCs in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 The table below has the detailed information on how you can find all the NPCs. I have attached a screenshot that will tell you more about which NPCs can be found at the given locations. This will help you to find a particular NPC easily, especially if you're trying to complete the Bride and Battle Bus questlines.

Chapter 7 Season 1 in Fortnite introduces three different bosses spread all around the map, and you can defeat them to gain valuable loot. All three bosses have three random spawn locations, sticking true to last season's theme. I have listed all possible locations to make it easy for you to find and defeat them. Table of contentsHow to find all Bosses in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1Brutus locationHush locationHuman Bill locationHow to find all Bosses in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1Brutus location Screenshot and remix by Destructoid It's worth noting that there's no fixed order in how you can encounter different bosses. For me, Beach Brutus is the first one that I found. I have marked all the possible locations you can encounter him. My favorite is the Ripped Tides POI, as the place also has a custom bus piece on offer. Defeating him gets you Mythic Twin Hammer Shotguns, which are absolutely amazing at short range. At Mythic range, you get to enjoy better fire rate and faster reloads. If you can become Brutus using the correct kit, you'll also get the ability to regenerate your shields (making the weapon significantly better). Hush location Screenshot and remix by Destructoid Hush was slightly trickier for me to find, and I discovered her near Wonkeeland POI. Stick to the smaller roads, and you should see a boss icon if you're close enough. Hush is the exact opposite of Brutus, as her signature weapon is the Deadeye Assault Rifle. The Mythic variant has better headshot efficiency and also does more damage. The recoil is on the lower side, and it also offers a longer range. If you manage to transform yourself into Hush, you'll be able to use midair jumps and teleport across short distances. Human Bill location Screenshot and remix by Destructoid Ripped Tides not only has Beach Brutus, but it's also a spawn location for Human Bull. The alien-like creature uses Arc-Lightning Gun as his signature weapon. To defeat him, you'll want to exercise as much distance as possible. The Mythic version of the Arc-Lightning Gun is pretty strong, as it takes longer to overheat. However, I don't like the limited range, and you can get sniped from range if you're in the open. If you manage to transform yourself into Human Bill, you can use the Low Gravity ability to jump to greater heights and escape tight situations.

The Bride questline in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 requires you to find the Forsaken Vow Blade and then wield it to kill enemies with its signature Vengeance Dash ability. The Forsaken Vow Blade is incredibly powerful and dishes out tonnes of damage. While the base damage is pretty high, the Vengeance Dash ability allows you to two-shot most enemies. This guide will provide you with all the details required to complete two different quests. Table of contentsHow to obtain the Forsaken Vow Blade in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1How to hit opponents with Vengeance Dash in Fortnite Chapter 7 SeasonHow to obtain the Forsaken Vow Blade in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 To obtain the Forsaken Vow Blade, you'll have to enter a Rift Gate. Rift Gate locations are random, but they will always be marked on the map. Moreover, these gates stand out in the open, making it easier for you to find them. Screenshot by Destructoid Interact with the gate to enter, and defeat the NPC enemies at the location. To do so, you'll have to use the Forsaken Vow Blade (provided to you in the rift). Once done, you can now use the Blade on the open map. How to hit opponents with Vengeance Dash in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season Ensure that you have equipped the Forsaken Vow Blade. Next, aim at an enemy, and press the right mouse button. The Vengeance Dash ability is a set of powerful charged slashes that you can use to destroy any opponent. Screenshot by Destructoid The ability has three max rounds and takes a fair bit of time to reload (hence, don't spam). There's a brief ******* for it to lock onto an enemy before landing the hit. Try to hit from close range so that your target can't dodge the incoming charge. Once you hit opponents with the Vengeance Dash ability six times, it will complete the quest and reward you with 10,000 XP.

The first set of Battle Bus quests in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 requires you to find custom bus pieces that are spread all over the map, and you'll have to discover at least three of them. Finding the bus pieces will help you complete two different tasks. While one of them requires you to find three custom pieces, the other requires you to find general bus pieces. Getting the custom pieces is harder, and you'll need to be in specific locations. This guide will help you find all three custom bus pieces without any hassle. How to find Custom Battle Bus pieces in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 To obtain a Custom Battle Bus piece, you'll have to destroy dumpsters with your pickaxe (or any other weapon). There's a chance for more than three dumpsters to be located around the new map. However, you'll need to find just three of them to complete the quest. If you're focusing solely on finding these dumpsters, you'll want to begin from the southern part of the map since you'll find two of the three pieces over there. I have marked all three locations to make it easier to travel around the map. Screenshot and remix by Destructoid Location 1 Screenshot by Destructoid I got the first piece at Ripped Tides, where the dumpster is located outside a colorful hut. Once you destroy the dumpster to get your first custom piece. The dumpster is close to the ****** NPC location, who can be found over here. Location 2 Screenshot by Destructoid I got the second piece from Battlewood Boulevard, a bit far from the in-game marker. The house is slightly away from the main road, and you can find it near a couple of kegs. The in-game map shows another dumpster at Battlewood Boulevard, so it's worth taking a deeper look at the place. Location 3 The final location is in Sandry Strip, right next to the purple-head monument. You can find the dumpster on the road, and it was the easiest one to find. You can also find the Bride at the exact location and hire her services. Once you find all three custom pieces, you will complete the Destroy Dumpsters quest and be rewarded with 10,000 XP.

There are plenty of new quests to complete in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1, and one of them requires you to purchase a service from the Bride. If you're a pop culture fan or an ardent follower of things Kill Bill, this quest will be to your liking. It also introduces you to a brand new NPC in the fresh chapter. This guide will help you complete this quest, which is necessary if you're looking to finish the Bride questline as early as possible. Table of contentsThe Bride's location in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1Bride service in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1The Bride's location in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 The first task is to locate the Bride on the new paper. She's located on the eastern part of the map, right on the Sandy Strip marker. I have marked the exact location to make it easy for you to find her. The exact building is on the outskirts of Sandy Strip. Screenshot and remix by Destructoid Once you drop off at the location, look out for a big white building (there's only one at this location). Head inside, and you'll find the Bride near the fountain. That's as easy as it gets. However, be careful since you're not the only one seeking her out for her services. I have always run into enemies at this location, so loot proper gear, and get your shields up. Bride service in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 Unlike typical NPC services, the Bridge helps you with Gold. She doesn't join you as an ally, but you can get plenty of Gold from her. The exact amount will depend on how well you're doing in the match. As you might know, Gold no longer transfers between rounds, but the drop rate has been significantly increased. If you've done pretty well in the round, the Bride will reward you with plenty of Gold. Completing the quest, as mentioned earlier, is necessary if you're looking to finish her questline in Chapter 7 Season 1. Moreover, the quest itself also rewards you with 10,000 XP that will help you unlock more rewards from the brand new passes.
