The Fortnite Icon Series includes various celebrities across entertainment, from music to gaming. Players on r/FortNiteBR have been excitedly discussing who they believe should be the next icon in the series, including who might deserve to star in a seasonal Music Pass. Marshmello was the first music icon to join Fortnite in season seven, but it wasn’t until Chapter Two, season one, that the Icon Series officially became an Item Shop rarity. The Ninja Style emote is technically the very first in the Icon Series, and from then on, every season has had multiple new emotes and outfits from YouTube and music stars. Reddit user u/WavyCrockett1 kicked off the discussion on r/FortNiteBR, asking who people might want to see next as part of the Icon Series, and there were some inspired choices.

Crytek has announced a round of layoffs affecting 60 of its 400 staff. In a tweet, Crytek said that while Hunt: Showdown is growing, the company could not “continue as before and remain financially sustainable.” The developer put Crysis 4 “on hold” late 2024 and had worked to shift staff over to Hunt, reducing costs and operating expenses in the process, but the layoffs became “inevitable,” affecting 15% of its workforce. The layoffs hit staff across Crytek’s development teams and shared services. The company said it will offer severance. Last year, it emerged that Crytek had worked on a battle royale-inspired Crysis project codenamed Crysis Next when very early gameplay hit YouTube. The footage revealed third-person shooting in a basic warm-up arena, with Crysis’ trademark abilities and sound effects layered on top. Crytek never announced Crysis Next, which was canceled in favor of Crysis 4 ahead of its announcement in January 2022. Crysis is a first-person sci-fi shooter series known for its impressive visuals, cool nanosuit powers, and open-ended gameplay. The first game in the series, released in 2007, was often used as a PC benchmark given the demands it would make of PCs at the time. Crysis was so demanding that it spawned the now infamous catchphrase, “But can it run Crysis?” which was used in the years following the game’s release to deliver a verdict on a PC spec. The last mainline game in the series, Crysis 3, came out in February 2013. Crytek released remasters of the originals in recent years, but fans hadn’t heard more about Crysis 4 since its announcement and teaser three years ago. Wesley is the *** News Editor for IGN.

Hand cannons are by far one of the most popular weapon types in Destiny 2, with plenty of great options, from Zaouli’s Bane and Ancient Gospel to Exotics, like Sunshot. With the launch of Sundered Doctrine, there might be a new best hand cannon in the game—Unloved. Unloved is a Strand Heavy Burst hand cannon, making it the first of its kind in Destiny 2. It has a similar feel to Bold Endings from the Pale Heart—a Stasis burst hand cannon. However, Unloved comes with quite a few damage perks and has one of the best Origin Traits in the game.

Trading is an essential part of basically every RPG Roblox experience. It's the same in Sakura Stand, where you have so many limited items that are no longer obtainable by just grinding. So, to help you out with trading, we prepared the following Sakura Stand Trading guide and value tier list. Sakura Stand Trading Value List In Sakura Stand, trading is all about making equal exchanges. However, there are a lot of players who will try to underpay for your items. When making or receiving trading offers in Sakura Stand, you can use the trading value tier list below as a reference. Keep in mind that for very rare items, like the Summer Time: Valentine, the player wanting to buy it will probably have to overpay due to its very low supply. The items in the Sakura Stand trading value list below are sorted by their overall value in trade. For example, an item with a value of 4 is worth two items with a value of 2. However, there is always a little leeway. In general, items that are stronger in combat or limited in circulation are valued the most.

To make a trade, you need the other players' Roblox username, which you can see by hovering over their in-game name in the top right corner of your screen. Then, type in !trade username in the chat to send a trade request to them; the other player should do the same. Preview of the trade window Once you have initiated a trade in Sakura Stand, a new window will open up where you can place the items you want to trade with the other player. You can click the "Accept" button below when both players have placed all of their items. If you've changed your mind about the trade for whatever reason, you can decline the trade in the next 10 seconds. How to Find Other Players That Want to Trade? The most straightforward way would be to ask if anyone wants to trade in chat while in-game. However, it is more sensible to try to find other players to trade with on the Sakura Stand trading Discord server. Among other things, you can also vouch for others here and ask other players whether the trade you are making is worth it. That sums up everything you need to know about trading in Sakura Stand. If you are looking to claim some freebies while battling other stand users, then check out our Sakura Stand codes.

The Marvel Rivals developers changed the rules regarding the controversial mid-season reset in just under 24 hours, and I couldn’t be more thrilled by their flexible response. On Feb. 10, the developers shared an update detailing a mid-season rank reset that would drop players’ rank by four divisions on the 21st. This upset the majority of the Rivals’ player base, considering that the battle pass still has two months left and that ranked players had already dropped seven divisions when the season started just a month prior.

A new Exotic mission is hitting Destiny 2 a bit sooner than most players expected. The Derealize Exotic mission is here, arriving after only a week into Episode: Heresy. But the mission won't give up its secrets or rewards easily -- and opening its doors is a whole other matter. Destiny 2 has fallen into some comfortable habits, but it's refreshing to see Episode: Heresy shake some of those up. Exotic missions typically launch toward the end of a Season or Episode, as seen with Encore in Episode: Echo and the Kell's Fall Exotic mission in Episode: Revenant. That's not the case with Drealize, as players won't have to wait to jump into the new outing. That said, Guardians must accomplish some steps and prerequisites before the Exotic mission becomes available. How to unlock the Derealize Exotic mission Screenshot by Destructoid Before players can attempt the Exotic mission for Episode: Heresy, they'll have to unlock it first. The process is a bit involved, requiring most of the completion of the Quest that unlocks the Barrow-Dyad Exotic SMG. Guardians must complete several tasks that will send them to the Moon, Earth, and into The Nether. First and foremost, players must complete Step 14 of the Episode: Heresy narrative Quest: "Act I: Echoed Warnings." Once at that milestone, players can begin the process to unlock an Exotic Quest called "The Taken Path." This Quest is the key to earning the Barrow-Dyad and details the steps required to open access to the Derealize Exotic mission. Into the Dreadnaught Screenshot by Destructoid Immediately after starting the Exotic mission, players will find themselves in front of a group of Dread led by a Subjugator. Moving forward will cause the Subjugator to flee and prompt the Dread enemies to attack. Simultaneously, Taken Blights in the area will turn into large eyes that debuff players with Suffocating Terror. After the first wave of foes is defeated, another wave accompanied by a Tormenter will appear. After taking out the Tormenter and Dread backup, the Fireteam can advance up the hills ahead, minding the eyeball in the sky. There is another Tormenter awaiting players at the top of the hill, so it's best to lure it back down to the area players first appeared in. Once that other Tormenter is dealt with, players can fully advance up the hill to encounter a considerable force of Dread. This is a good place for the Fireteam to use any roaming Supers or other tricks they have up their sleeve. Bolt Charge and Ionic Trace Arc builds can really cut through the crowd here. Once enough Dread fall, a Strand Subjugator will appear as a boss for this opening section. Blast it down with Supers and heavy weapons, and then clean up any lingering forces. A portal will take players forward. Vrhiisk, Seeker of Power Screenshot by Destructoid The Taken portal players ventured through leads to the Dreadnaught, specifically to that area containing even more portals. The one players are looking for is across the way, leading to the Trenchway. Venturing into the area, Guardians will stumble upon the Taken and Dread fighting each other. Heading into the fight, players can mop up both sides and then press forward. The first major boss encounter is ahead against Vrhiisk, Seeker of Power. The Stasis Subjugator will throw up a shield almost immediately. Guardians must destroy the Blights littering the battlefield to get the shield down, which requires jumping through a few hoops. First, Vrhiisk will summon six Taken Blight Sentinels that must be dealt with. They typically stay toward the back of the arena but can move around. Once the Sentinels are eliminated, Taken Conduit Ogres will start appearing. Once these minibosses go down, they drop a Taken Relic that can be charged by destroying Taken enemies. After enough Taken are fed to the Relic, Guardians will get a notification that it is charged, and the debuff timer at the top of the screen will disappear. The Relic can now be taken to the top of a marked Blight to destroy it. Screenshot by Destructoid After a Blight is destroyed, Guardians will become Torn Between Dimensions, like during the Oryx fight in the King's Fall Raid. The screen will become ****** and white, so there's no mistaking when it happens. Now, players need to collect another Taken Relic and recharge it to similarly destroy it like the previous one. The only difference is that players will use the ethereal platforms littering the arena to reach the higher Blight. With both Blights destroyed on the left side, the boss will become vulnerable again. Players can lean into it with everything before it raises its shield again at half health. From there, things will play out exactly as they just did for the left Blights but for the right side of the arena. When both right-side Blights are similarly destroyed, the boss will flee, but it's taking players with it. Guardians will find themselves in a small, circular arena somewhat reminiscent of the room where the first Taken Osseous Fragment was found. From here, it's a cage match against Vrhiisk and some Taken cronies. If you still have any Supers or Heavy ammo, now is the time to use it. The final Fragment Screenshot by Destructoid Once the boss is defeated, a Hive Rune plate on the wall provides an exit. Or at least it should, but this plate is a bit more complicated to work than the previous ones encountered. Guardians will have to move in the direction indicated by the arrow on the ground in front of the plate after a symbol appears on it. A timer at work also ensures players are shifted to a new area every few seconds, making it easy to enter incorrect inputs. The movements players will have to do in order are right, up, down, and left, but inputs are only accepted if Guardians are standing on a plate asking for that input. To avoid wrong inputs, which will reset the sequence, players simply remain still on the plate. A timer will shift Guardians to a new area and a new plate every ten seconds, so it's just a matter of patience. A short platforming segment will take players high up into the peeling chiton of the Dreadnaught. After a jump to the other side of the massive area, the final Taken Osseous Fragment will be claimed. A nearby Blight is destroyed after grabbing the Fragment, and players can head down into the previously blocked hole in the column of the ship. Find the artifact Screenshot by Destructoid Following a long drop, Guardians will emerge in an orange-tinged area. Platforming is required to maneuver directly vertically and then in a linear path while avoiding explosions of Taken energy. Eventually, players will arrive in an area with a couple of enemies and several Hive tunnels in the walls. Start with a tunnel opposite the side from which you entered the area and head as far down as possible until a dead end is reached. Exit the tunnels and clear the enemies out of the following structure in the middle. A shield blocks the actual way ahead, so first, the Fireteam will need to take a quick detour back to the left side but accessed from a tunnel as close to the next shield as possible. At the bottom of the chasm here, a purple Hive crystal is waiting to be broken. Two more crystals are waiting on the other side. One is below one of the lowest accessible platforms by a spike trap, and another is about level with the Hive shield wall halfway down the passage. Ahead is a bit more platforming through Taken explosions and spike traps, but that's nothing new at this point. A vast cable will lead players forward, and then Taken Blight ****** can be used as platforms to continue venturing upward. A Hive ritual circle stands before an open door at the top of the area, but it can't be interacted with just yet. Head through the doors for a Rally Flag location and the final encounter. Xir-Kuur, both Taken and Not-Taken Screenshot by Destructoid Entering the arena, Guardians will find the Barrow-Dyad on a table across the room. As soon as the weapon is collected, the Fireteam will become Torn Between Dimensions. Taken Blights will appear in the arena, but no enemies yet. So, players can take their time eliminating each Blight that spawned. Once that happens, the boss, Xir-Kuur, will appear both as a Taken and Not-Taken variant. Only one version of the boss will be damageable at a time, and it is always easy to tell. If those giant eyes show up debuffing with Suffocating Terror, players must attack the Not-Taken boss. Alternatively, when players get the Torn Between Dimensions debuff and their screens turn ****** and white, it's time to attack Xir-Kuur, Taken. Guardians won't have to deal with Suffocating Terror while they are Torn, but they will have to destroy three Blights before the debuff is lost and Xir-Kuur, Not-Taken becomes vulnerable. After going back and forth between the two bosses, the Fireteam will eventually defeat Xir-Kuur, Not-Taken first. When this happens, players will be alerted over comms that they must evacuate the room and activate the Hive ritual circle on the other side of the door. Doing so will seal the remaining boss in the chamber, acting as a prison. So, the remainder of the fight is a desperate attempt to close off the area before the boss can charge through. When the door seals shut, the encounter and the Exotic mission come to a close. A chest will appear to reward players for their efforts, and The Taken Path Quest will reach its conclusion.

Destiny 2 has a unique new Exotic weapon for Episode: Heresy: the Barrow-Dyad. The circular sub-machine gun certainly has a fun look, but beyond that, it's a force to be reckoned with. Guardians will want to hunt down the Barrow-Dyad for themselves, but they'll need to know how first. While Destiny 2 players may be a bit spoiled after the ease of obtaining the Lodestar Exotic in this Episode, Barrow Dyad will take a bit more work. A multi-part Exotic Quest will take players across the system, into The Nether, and beyond to earn the chic new gun. However, before Guardians start worrying about how to get the new Exotic weapon, the first question should be how to gain access to its Exotic Quest. Unlocking The Taken Path Quest Screenshot by Destructoid To gain access to the Barrow-Dyad, players must first obtain the Quest: "The Taken Path." However, it won't just make itself known to Guardians; players will have to seek out the new Quest. To get things started, players must head into the player-approved Nether activity and try to find a new Taken Blight. The large globe appears in the Trenchway in The Nether, a bit off the ground and with glowing Hive runes engraved on a pillar beside it. The Blight can be found during the Anchored Thrones story mission, but it's still available if missed. Personally, I missed it during the mission and saw it during an Expert run of The Nether. Screenshot by Destructoid Once players touch the Blight, they'll be teleported to a new area mostly bathed in white. A large wall divides the room in half, with a Hive Rune plate positioned on the wall. If Guardians stand in front of the plate for a few seconds, a Rune will appear, and text will note that "Something whispers to the right." If players actually move to the right, they'll get teleported to the other side of the wall. Once the mini-puzzle is complete, Guardians can head to the only object of interest on the other side of the wall: a bowl. In it lies a Taken Osseous Fragment. Collect the Fragment and head out through the portal. With the Fragment in hand, players should ensure they are caught up in the Episode: Heresy Act I: Echoed Warnings Quest. Guardians must complete step 14, which will lead back to the Shaping Slab in Eris' Flat. There, you'll find The Taken Path Quest. Walking The Taken Path Screenshot by Destructoid The Taken Path Quest has six steps; the first is pretty straightforward. All players must do is unlock and equip the Scotopic Rune through the Runic Enhancement Menu at the Shaping Slab or an altar in The Nether. The only thing that might get in Guardians' way is their Nether Enhancement Level. The Level corresponds with reputation rank, so players must have a little time in the Episode to equip the Tier 2 Rune. Once equipped, the next step of the Quest is to head to the Moon and locate something concealed by the Hive in Sorrow's Harbor. The path forward actually leads through the K1 Revelation Lost Sector, where players will encounter a Taken dome shield blocking another Hive Rune plate. Standing in front of the plate, Guardians will be alerted that something whispers behind them. Walk backward to teleport back into the Lost Sector, but this time filled with Taken enemies. After players tear their way through the foes, a Taken Ogre will appear as a boss, and defeating it rewards another Taken Osseous Fragment. To the Forgotten Shore Screenshot by Destructoid The next step of The Taken Path Quest requires yet another Taken Osseous Fragment, but this time it's in the Cosmodrome. The Veles Labyrinth Lost Sector is the destination, hiding another Rune Plate within. After completing the first plate by moving forward, players will teleport to another, which requires a move to the left. A third plate awaits, asking for movement backward. The third puzzle will teleport players back into the Lost Sector filled with Taken enemies. Fighting through the horde, both a Taken Ogre and a Taken Centurian will harass players. But a third Taken Osseous Fragment will appear after the formidable foes are slain. Guardians will be directed back to the Shaping Slab in the Last City. Three Quests will be rewarded for the efforts: Curse of Endurance, Curse of Urgency, and Curse of Revenge. Breaking the Curses Screenshot by Destructoid Each Quest specifies a locale: Sorrow's Harbor on the Moon for Endurance, the Hallowed Grove Lost Sector in the EDZ for Urgency, and Nightmare Hunt: Pride for Revenge. At these locations, Guardians will find large Taken Blights and a swirling mass of Taken energy around a Taken Relic that can be interacted with. Interacting with the Relic accepts one of the aforementioned Curses and starts a simple combat trial. Guardians must use the Relic to eliminate enemies until it becomes charged and then dunk the Relic back near where it was initially collected. The Quest in Sorrow's Harbor is the most straightforward, allowing players to nab the Relic, eliminate foes in the Altars of Sorrow event, and then dunk with ease. Heading into the Nightmare Hunt, Guardians will find that the Relic does not charge until after the Nightmare of Fikrul is defeated. Finally, in the Hallowed Grove, players will charge the Relic before it can be dunked at the end of the Lost Sector once the boss is defeated. Calling to power Screenshot by Destructoid Each Quest has a final step that requires players to venture back into The Nether. In the activity, Guardians will be on the lookout for Hive statues with which they can interact. Each will summon a miniboss and will reward another Taken Osseous Fragment back at the statue once the foe is downed. The statue for the Curse of Endurance Quest can be found in the Hall of Souls. It is between the entrance and a passageway on the right-hand side after appearing in the area. The statue for the Curse of Urgency is in the Trenchway, in the large section with hidden platforms. It's tucked against the wall between the middle and left passages. The statue for the Curse of Revenge is in The Mausoleum. Players can find it in the lower area of the zone, just before the boss area. The statue is in a nook behind one of the big tentacles, so search thoroughly. Once all three Quests are complete, Guardians will get an update on The Taken Path. The Exotic Quest will instruct players to head into the new Derealize Exotic mission, obtain one more Taken Osseous Fragment, and acquire the Barrow-Dyad. The weapon itself will be found at the end of the Exotic mission. Once The Taken Path Quest is complete, players will get an unnamed Quest in its place. The Quest informs Guardians to head back to Eris' flat in The Last City and visit the Shaping Slab. There, players will earn the Dyadic Ascension Quest, which allows players to enhance the Exotic weapon further. The post How to get the Barrow-Dyad Exotic in Destiny 2 appeared first on Destructoid.

Several months after its release and after the resounding success of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2′s launch, some STALKER 2 fans feel bittersweet.

Meanwhile, STALKER 2 had and still has several performance issues and bugs that ruin the impressive and immersive environment the developers were trying to create. View the full article
