Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 puts you back in the shoes of Henry, who, despite his fortunes in the first game, finds himself broke yet again. Earning your Groschen can be difficult in the early stages of the game, so selling what you make (or steal) is your best bet. If you want the best prices for your quality goods, you will have to haggle with the shopkeepers.

Marvel Rivals has barely been in the spotlight for long, yet its player base is already brimming with theory-crafting, character balance debates, and—of course—requests for buffs that would make certain heroes completely unstoppable. The latest discussion is whether Magneto should be given the ability to fly. The idea of a flying Magneto isn’t exactly far-fetched—after all, the Master of Magnetism has been levitating across comic panels for decades. But while some players argue that it makes sense both thematically and in terms of counterplay, others are less than thrilled about the prospect of a Magneto soaring overhead, raining destruction from above.

One of the very first quests in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 will require you to attend a wedding, and knowing all the steps will allow you to save your time and energy in the process. The wedding we are talking about takes place in Semine. Like most things in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, there are two ways to attend this wedding. You can do so by speaking with Kreyzl or interacting with Radovan. Krezyl is located in the south, while Radovan the Blacksmith can be found in Tachov. You can go with either of them to start your journey towards the wedding. How to get to the wedding in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 In my playthrough, I selected Radovan, so the following steps correspond to that choice. Once you speak with Radovan, you'll have to prove your Blacksmith skills to him. Once the tutorial is complete, Radovan will give you a job as his apprentice and allow you to sleep (giving you access to a bed). After you have improved your rapport with Radovan, speak with him. He will tell you that he hasn't heard back from two of his helpers who had to deliver certain goods to Semine. Go south to Semine, and a cutscene will play out. You'll get familiar with Lord Semine and Gnarly, who is his guard. The next job will be to find the cart, and the journey will be quicker if you have your horse by you. As you reach the cart, you'll run into a few bandits. Once you have dealt with them, go back to Semine and tell Radovan what happened. Once these two tasks are cleared, the next part is pretty simple. First, you'll have to forge a sword. This sword will be a gift to Lord Semine's son, and you'll have to bring Radovan the Hermit's sword. To find it, speak with the innkeeper to get more information. You'll have to travel to Apollonia to proceed with the quest and get the required item. Image via Destructoid After you've gained the sword, you can attend the wedding. But first, make sure to clean yourself up, with a full bath being advisable. Equip your best possible set of clothes, and wear as many accessories as you want. You'll want to be well-decked in order to clear the final check (required to attend the wedding). That's pretty much how you get to attend the wedding in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and a romance option is also available at the location.

Like real life, money makes the world go round in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Acquiring coins will be challenging initially, but there are a few ways to quicken the process. Here's what you need to do to make Groschen fast in KCD2. Best methods to make money fast in KCD2 The start of your KCD2 adventures can be pretty rough, especially since you're left with little to no money. At the beginning of my journey, I made many mistakes when attempting to earn coins, often leaving me with a hot ball of nothing through certain techniques. But, after a while, I finally started to find my groove using a few handy methods. For a quick overview, you can utilize the following techniques to make money fast in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2: Go on a stealing spree Complete the Cabbage Thief quest Win in fistfighting competitions Play and win dice games Find treasure maps and uncover valuables Complete side quests Unlock Perks Since the methods above are slightly challenging, I'll break them all down to help you understand them better. Go on a stealing spree Screenshot by Destructoid Stealing and robbing is the quickest way to make Groschen fast, but it's not without risks. If you're caught, you'll likely need to spend money to get out of trouble. Or, go the violent route and attack the guard who's got ahold of you. However, you can always save and quit before attempting a robbery, allowing you to try again if things go wrong. It's also a good idea to choose the Scout playstyle, as it will help with sneaky maneuvers. Plus, you can boost your stealth skill by exchanging the Perk Points you'll earn throughout your playthrough. Another tactic I like to do is to wait for nighttime and rob someone while they're sleeping. That way, you don't have to worry about any watchful eyes. Complete the Cabbage Thief quest Screenshot by Destructoid If you want to make a lot of money early on in the game, you can talk to Bailiff Thrush at the starter town, Troskowitz. He'll tell you about a cabbage thief who's been robbing a Grocer (to the left of Semine). All you need to do is follow the trail of cabbages and turn in the thief to claim the money. You don't even need to initiate any combat since the robber doesn't put up a fight. Win in fistfight competitions Screenshot by Destructoid Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has its own version of a fight club in Lower Semine Mill. Speak to Miller Kreyzl about it to unlock this unique feature. Screenshot by Destructoid Talk to Hensel to begin the fistfighting competition, where you'll have to wager 10 Groschen each time. It's a small price you have to pay to earn more money later on. Defeat Hensel, Malik, and Vira for a total of 60 Groschen. Return to Miller Kreyzl to unlock the Zhelejov fistfights. Fortunately, Miller will pay the entry fee this time, giving you 150 Groschen. You can take this money and be on your way or use it to participate in the Zhelejov fights. If you want to make extra money, go to Zhelejov Wagoners' Inn (to the left of Troskowitz). Talk to the Innkeeper Lawrence to begin the Wine, Women, and Blood quest for 100 Groschen. You'll also need to speak to Bathhouse Owner Dorothy and convince her to let Fiala fight. Additionally, you can talk to Bathwench Anna near Dorothy to get an extra reward after knocking out Bohunek. Screenshot by Destructoid Now, it's time to defeat Hannes, Bohunek, and Fiala to earn 60 Groschen in total (exchange 10 Groschen to begin each one). Remember to talk to Bathwench Anna to replenish your health and sew your clothing for free. Then, talk to the Innkeeper Lawrence to get 200 Groschen. You'll unlock the last fighter, the Trosky Grandmaster, who will be above Trosky Castle. Although this mission doesn't provide you with Groschen, you can go there to pick up a new skill teacher. Play and win dice games Screenshot by Destructoid You can discover dice tables in almost every major Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 settlement. The goal here is to earn plenty of dice combinations, whether with multiples of the same number or a straight (like poker). Similar to the robbing technique, you can save beforehand to keep your money intact if things don't go as planned. This method is heavily luck-based, but it can give you a lot of money when you come out victorious. Find treasure maps Screenshot by Destructoid Speak to various NPCs, like Innkeepers or merchants, to get hints about the game's many treasure maps. Enemies can carry these maps, too, but you'll need to take them down to loot them from their bodies. Sometimes, the treasure maps can lead to valuable gear, including the Lion's Crest Bonus Quest. While missions like these don't give you too much money, you can at least save yourself from spending Groschen on equipment. Complete side quests Considering that Main Quests usually take up a lot of your time, opt for the Side Quests to get more bang for your buck. Objectives like the Jaunt and Bad Blood provide Groschen, which you can complete early on in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. I recommend just exploring around the map to see what side adventures you unlock. Depending on your luck, you may find one that gives you a significant amount of Groschen. Unlock Perks Screenshot by Destructoid Specific Perks increase how much money you'll make when selling items to a merchant. For instance, the Alchemy Skill's Potion Seller offers a 30 percent sell boost when exchanging the potions you've brewed. You can also use the On the Poacher's Trail Survival Skill to sell herbs, game, hides, and trophies for double the price.

It's been a while since there was a reason for players to get excited about a trace rifle in Destiny 2. However, the new Lodestar Exotic trace rifle from Episode: Heresy might be just the thing to rekindle that old love with the weapon type. Destiny 2's trace rifles had a bit of a heyday up into the Lightfall era. Back then, it was much easier to generate heavy ammo bricks when using two special ammo weapons. Trace rifles fit nicely as the "primary" special weapon, featuring large reserves. Those days wouldn't stick around forever, though, and the guns fell by the wayside when Bungie retuned heavy ammo drops. Now, with a primary ammo trace rifle on the table, it might harken back to those old times. Where does the Lodestar come from? Screenshot by Destructoid The Lodestar Exotic trace rifle is a reward that's exclusive to Episode: Heresy's Season Pass. That said, players don't necessarily need to purchase the Episode itself to access the new weapon; it's available on the free reward track at Rank 40. So, as long as you're participating in Destiny 2 during Episode: Heresy, you shouldn't have a problem acquiring the weapon. If players did shell out for Episode: Heresy or bought the annual pass version of The Final Shape, the Lodestar will be available to claim immediately from the Season Pass. Further into the premium track, the Artificial Sun Ornament is also available once Guardians reach Rank 100. Once Heresy is over, the Lodestar will likely be available for purchase through the Monument to Lost Lights in The Tower. While Bungie hasn't explicitly confirmed this, it has happened to countless other Exotic weapons earned through the Season Pass. What does the Lodestar do? Screenshot by Destructoid The Lodestar is very different from the trace rifles players are familiar with. On the surface, one reason is that the gun uses primary ammo, essentially making it infinite. Looking deeper, the Exotic also has some peculiar behaviors that might take a little getting used to. When Guardians aim down the sights of the Lodestar, instead of emitting a solid beam like other trace rifles, it will behave more like a pulse rifle. The bursts of energy have their place, though, as they increase damage and detonate Blinding explosions on Arc-debuffed enemies. Additionally, once players deal enough Arc damage while using the Lodestar, they can perform an alternate reload to imbue the weapon with Jolt while firing from the hip. The Lodestar should work nicely with any number of Arc builds in this Episode, especially with the Artifact Perks that rely on Arc debuffs like Jolt. Lodestar may be hitting far above its weight class during Heresy because of its Arc focus, but even after, it'll still allow players to relive the glory days of running double special weapons.
