The new Sundered Doctrine dungeon in Destiny 2 comes with a whole new loot pool of powerful weapons and stylish armor. If you want to make the most of each run, you should also pick up secret chests along the way. As always with the secret chests in Destiny 2, they only drop the loot you already got from the dungeon. So if you only have a hand cannon and a class item from Sundered Doctrine, only those two can drop from the secret chest. The chests are also limited to one opening per week per character.

Your daily LoLdle’s back with a new League of Legends voice line, and today’s quote hints at one of the demons-based champions in Runeterra. Yesterday’s quote was from a major character in Arcane. On the other hand, today’s quote takes you back to one of the golden ages of League, where the champion is as old as the game itself. If you’re not familiar with League lore or have never played the champion that says today’s quote, it might be difficult to find the answer. View the full article
To make the most of Destiny 2’s Heresy quests, be ready to hunt down some Taken Osseous Fragments. These elusive items kick off the secret quest for the Barrow-Dyad Exotic SMG and are also essential to getting the most out of the weapon. Taken Osseous Fragments are required for quests such as Path of the Taken and Dyadic Ascension. The former leads to a surprising Exotic quest and the SMG, and the latter helps you get all the intrinsics for it. View the full article
Destiny 2 gave players the coveted Barrow-Dyad Exotic during Heresy, and it came with a matching mission. The Dyadic Ascension quest lets you improve the SMG’s intrinsic—provided you’re not stuck in step five, that is. The Barrow-Dyad SMG is a powerful weapon that truly feels like an Exotic, but players who try to complete this quest can get stumped with their quest progress through no fault of their own. The quest seems to be either bugged or time-gated, but you can still get far enough to unlock the third level of the intrinsic. View the full article
Destiny 2’s Exotic SMG, Barrow-Dyad, piqued players’ interest before Heresy even came out. Now, guardians can finally get this weapon—and it may be hard to take it off. The weapon first appeared in the Heresy Act One livestream, and Bungie was cryptic about how to obtain it. Though fans expected an Exotic quest later in the game, it was released in the second week of Heresy. View the full article
EA Sports has announced a fresh server maintenance for EA FC 25, which will take place on February 12. This maintenance will temporarily disrupt all online services. Server maintenance has been routine in the past, but the frequency has gone down in recent times. EA Sports has conducted a lot of real-time tuning, allowing players to continue enjoying the service while updates are pushed out. Ahead of the maintenance, EA Sports has shared details about the maintenance timings, allowing players to plan accordingly. When will the EA FC 25 Server Maintenance (February 12) begin? The server maintenance will begin at 7 a.m. UTC/11 p.m. PST (February 11)/2 a.m. EST. The scheduled maintenance will be going live simultaneously across all affected platforms, and matchmaking will be paused 30 minutes prior. [Hidden Content] When will the EA FC 25 Server Maintenance (February 12) end? If EA Sports sticks to the schedule, the maintenance will end at 11 a.m. UTC/3 a.m. PST/6 a.m. EST. Unless there's a delay, the game will be down for four hours. Do note that there can always be delays with any maintenance, and that has happened in the past. In that case, EA Sports will extend the down time. If there's a delay, we will update the article accordingly. Which game modes will be affected? Once the matchmaking is halted, all online connectivity will be halted. This includes the entirety of Ultimate Team, and even modes like Squad Battles should be out of order. If you want to matchmake, it will result in an error. This will be the norm till the maintenance is live, so don't worry if you can't find a match and get an error message instead. The maintenance will be affecting all game modes in EA FC 24, so it's something worth noting if you're still playing last year's release. While the maintenance is live, you can enjoy game modes that don't require any internet connectivity. It might be the perfect time to check out Career Mode and all the changes that EA Sports has made this year.

As you progress through the main story quest with Lord Otton von Bergow, you'll reach a quest called For Victory! where you will enjoy a feast at Trosky Castle. Lord Capon tasks you with getting wine, but doesn't tell you where to find Katherine in the Castle Kitchen. Screenshot by Destructoid Where is Katherine during the For Victory quest One of the side quests for the For Victory! quest tells you to Go into the kitchen for wine to give to Lord Hans Capon for his journey. Unfortunately, if you look all around the castle and specifically the castle kitchen where the quest tells you to look, it turns out Katherine isn't actually there! If you're like me, you might think your quest is bugged. But it's not! You cannot actually find Katherine at this point in the quest, despite it telling you to do so. Instead, look around in the kitchen for another NPC named Cook Manyeta and ask her where Katherine is. She won't tell you where Katherine is, but she does offer to give you wine which is what you need for the quest. You'll find out later where Katherine was. After telling Cook Manyeta you need the wine, she'll ask if you can open the Herbs chest in the kitchen for her. Keep in mind it's a medium-difficulty chest and requires a Lockpick to open, so if you don't have those, don't accept her quest. Screenshot by Destructoid Where to find the herbs chest The Herbs chest is located on the bottom floor of the kitchen, so you may have to go downstairs to reach it. You'll find it in the back corner of the kitchen on the floor. You'll need a lockpick of course to attempt to open it, and it is medium difficulty. Successfully opening the chest will give you access to the herbs, which you can then go and tell Cook Manyeta you opened it and she will hand over the wine. On the other hand, if you fail to unlock the chest and either don't want to waste more lockpicks, or don't have anymore, simply return to Cook Manyeta and tell her you can't open it. She will hand over the Hungarian Wine, but you will lose some reputation for failing to open the chest.

Civilization 7presents players with multiple Legacy Paths to complete during each Age, but how many need to be completed is up for debate. Completing each one can offer some serious benefits, but it could also cause some unforeseen consequences later in the game. Additionally, there may be some times when it is more strategic to intentionally not complete a Legacy Path because the effect of not finishing it could end up being a ******* boost. This could leave players wondering how many Legacy Paths they should complete during each age. View the full article
With the dawn of Episode: Heresy in Destiny 2 comes a plethora of new and perplexing items to be added to your inventory, including Nether-found resources like Metastasized Essentia. If you're anything like me, you pick up anything you can while exploring in games and heading into the Nether meant plenty of things for you and me to interact with. However, you can't use Metastasized Essentia as soon as you pick it up—you'll need to progress the seasonal quest first. View the full article

While those willing to part with some extra cash have already been reveling in Civilization 7 thanks to its early access *******, today finally sees its gates opened to everybody. The long-awaited strategy game was always going to ruffle some feathers with how it's reshaped its game structure and unshackled leaders so that they can spearhead any civilization you want. But there's no escaping the fact that early user reviews have been concerningly low for Civ 7. With more players pouring into the game today, things are slowly improving on the reviews front, and it's naturally hit a new Steam player count peak too. While that peak may be half the size of what Civilization 6 achieved when it launched back in 2016, Civ 7's wide multi-platform release may be a factor in the disparity. Read the rest of the story...

Civilization 7 is officially here, and with it comes (at least for now) a "Mixed" review status on Steam and a lot of complaints about the 4X strategy's UI.

A few new leaks about Castorice in Honkai: Star Rail 3.2 have arisen and one of the pieces of information highlights what may be a feature that only the Amphoreus character will have in battles once she is released. Castorice is one of the many Chrysos Heirs from The Eternal Land. She has already been introduced as an NPC in the main story arc as a servant to Thanatos, and the hero prophesied to reclaim the Coreflame of Death. Recently, there have been a few leaks about Castorice in Honkai: Star Rail, such as her rumored release in Version 3.2. View the full article
The description of Mouthwashing ends with, "God is not watching", and that's definitely an apt summation of the horror game. A desolate, paranoid piece of work from developer Wrong Organ, it's not for the faint of heart, centred on a crew aboard a vessel that's gone way off course, stuck in the middle of space with little hope of survival. If that sounds appealing to you, though, it's currently going cheap on Steam. Read the rest of the story...

Hold onto your butts because this seemingly idle Wednesday is actually brimming with exciting bargain opportunities. I’m particularly all about From’s mech-tastic Armored Core VI going for 61% off and Persona 3 Reload for 42% less. And I’ll always holler the praises of a cut price Red Dead 2 (especially when it’s at a new historical low, pardner). Without much more ado, let's all discover the best Aussie deals for Wednesday, February 12, below: This Day in Gaming In retro news, I’m getting an Armacham ****** Ops Pyro to light 16 candles on a cake baked for F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin. I loved this nerve-shredding (at the time) sequel that continued the supernatural suspense story of Alma “just call me the chick from The Ring” Wade. The tense atmosphere and jump scares from the original were ramped up with more intimidating enemy types and actual, physical interactions with ol’ Beelzebedhead herself. All talk aside, my most enduring memory of this whole thing was spamming an automatic nail gun to hang dudes like picture frames with 14mm depleted uranium spikes. How did that ammo go out of style?

The Sims 1 and 2 have just been re-released in a new bundle to celebrate their 25th anniversary, which includes almost every expansion pack ever made for each game, including the ****-focused expansion pack, Unleashed.

While adding a **** to the family has become almost an expectation for current titles, having the option to add a furry friend to the household was very novel in the early days of The Sims.

A recent leak in the Genshin Impact community has revealed that the next two Envisaged Echoes will belong to Venti and Dehya, with players being able to unlock them via the Imaginarium Theater in April 2025. Initially introduced in Version 4.7, the Imaginarium Theater has swiftly established itself as the other half of Genshin Impact's endgame. Whereas the Spiral Abyss encourages vertical investment to conquer its challenges, the Imaginarium Theater is where horizontal investment comes to shine. Genshin Impact players don't need a perfect build for the Imaginarium Theater – just a lot of characters and knowledge of how they can best be used. View the full article

Of the many new changes in Sid Meier's Civilization 7 to some of the classic features and mechanics in the franchise, arguably the largest departure is the changing of civilizations across the Ages. Before Civ 7, there was always a "one leader, one civ" structure, and players could expect to end the game with the civilization they chose from the beginning. Civ 7 aims to let players engage in a more fantasy-based approach to building an empire, where a new civilization is chosen at the turn of each Age. While this idea certainly has some merit and gives players more sense of agency, it also feels like a bit of a weird decision. View the full article
A player of The Sims 4 has discovered one of the strangest quirks the game has to offer after choosing to garden at the worst possible time. In The Sims 4, a player's options will often be affected not only by place, time, personality, and profession, but also by mood. Moods work a lot more simply in more recent games, especially compared to the recently re-released Sims 1 and 2; the series now uses a series of status effects called Moodlets, which influence a Sim's behavior based on their circumstances.
