HELLDIVERS 2 remains as one of the best co-op action games around, but it has long be plagued with the kind of bugs you don't want to see. Read the full article here: [Hidden Content] View the full article

"While new features are coming, this patch marks a big step forward: both in the game itself and in how we work to improve it"View the full article

Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead has released the Into the Unjust: 4.1.0 update, which it said is designed to make the game “feel better to play.” This much anticipated update overhauls how Arrowhead approaches patching “to better target the pain points you’ve shared with us.” The studio said that means “more focus on stability, balance, and the issues that affect your experience the most.” Over 200 bugs have been fixed, along with key balance updates and quality-of-life improvements. Arrowhead said that while new features are coming, this patch marks “a big step forward: both in the game itself and in how we work to improve it.” More refinements are already underway, the studio continued. In terms of balance, the overall effectiveness of primary weapons, sidearms, throwables, and stratagems is increased. SMGs and pistols, for example, have been adjusted to emphasize their role as close-quarters weapons, with increased close-range damage and increased damage falloff. It’s worth noting changes are made to enemies across the board. The Dragon ******, for example, has seen its spawn rate decreased, and destruction of the wings now results in instant death. Each wing has a health pool, and the Dragon ****** should be more susceptible to explosions because even if you hit the body you now also hit the wings and do more damage. Overall, there should be fewer Dragon Roaches and they should be easier to take down. Check out the patch notes, courtesy of the Helldivers 2 Discord, below: Helldivers 2 Into the Unjust: 4.1.0 patch notes:BalancingGeneral changes Primaries, Sidearms, Throwables, and Stratagems Improvements have been made to increase the overall effectiveness of primary weapons, sidearms, throwables, and stratagems Light vs. Medium Penetration Weapons Light and medium penetration weapons now offer more distinct advantages. Light penetration weapons generally deal a higher percentage of their total damage against durable enemies, differentiating them more clearly from medium penetration options SMGs and Pistols SMGs and pistols have been adjusted to emphasize their role as close-quarters weapons.

It's not easy to drive your vehicle in RV There Yet due to the terrain-based difficulties, and encountering a bear could only increase your troubles. Bears are one of the two major menaces that you can encounter on your adventure (the other being snakes). Compared to the reptile, it's significantly harder to tackle a bear, and one can easily decimate your party if you aren't careful enough. This guide will lay out all the tactics you need to know to survive a bear attack. Table of contentsWhere can you find Bears in RV There YetHow to defeat a bear in RV There YetWhere can you find Bears in RV There Yet Bears don't appear to have a fixed location. However, they're usually located near areas where you can find resources. Houses are a common area where I have spotted bears on my run so far. They can also spawn near tents. Hence, if you're near a location with many resources, be careful about encountering a bear. How to defeat a bear in RV There Yet If you accidentally end up facing a bear, you can use Bear Spray. The spray tends to scare and force them to run away from you. The sprays can be found randomly in different locations, and you can store them in your RV's shelf. Screenshot via Nuggets Entertainment If you don't have a Bear Spray, try to stand tall and use your hammer. This is a risky procedure as missing an attempted hit can be extremely dangerous. If you miss your shot, chances are that the bear will maul you and cause an untimely death. If you're missing a Bear Spray and don't want to take a risk with the hammer, the best course of action is to escape. Look for a bridge and cross it at the earliest. Bears don't cross bridges for some inexplicable reason, and that's your best shot at survival. Just like snakes, you can't kill a bear. You can scare it off or force it to stop chasing you with the tactics that I have mentioned above. Always be careful of their blows since they can kill you with a few strikes. Like our content?

RV There Yet has been a surprising hit with the gaming community, and it's extremely fun to drive the same vehicle with your buddy across rough terrain. However, there have been incidents of crashes in some parts of the community. The crashes, so far, are more to do with the game's current build. The hardware requirements are towards the lighter side, and RV There Yet should run well on most PCs. However, this guide will ensure that your session with your buddy doesn't get disrupted due to unforeseen crashes. Table of contentsHow to prevent RV There Yet crashesBest RV There Yet graphics settingsHow to prevent RV There Yet crashes There is some basic stuff you'll want to get in check to prevent the crashes from taking place. Ensure that your graphics drivers are updated to the latest version. Whether you're on Nvidia or AMD, you can get this step done with the help of the in-game client. This can prevent chances of crashes if there are optimization issues on the client's end (there are).Sometimes, a few essential files might be missing. To fix this, go to the properties in your Steam library and run an integrity check. If any file is missing, it will be automatically redownloaded, and this will hopefully prevent the crashes from occurring.I encountered a ****** once when the Discord overlay was open by default. It's better to turn any kind of overlays off for the time being till RV There Yet gets a few more patches to sort out the current optimization issues.Best RV There Yet graphics settings Screenshot by Destructoid Here's a set of graphics settings that I am currently using to play RV There Yet.

Dinosaur Appeal is a key component of your park in Jurassic World Evolution 3 if you want to attract more visitors and rake in the profit. In simple words, Dinosaur Appeal measures how attractive a creature is to the visitors visiting your park. It's not an absolute term, and there's a combination of multiple factors that are in play. This guide will help you understand how Dinosaur Appeal works and how you can increase it. Table of contentsHow does Dinosaur Appeal work in Jurassic World Evolution 3How to increase Dinosaur Appeal in Jurassic World Evolution 3How does Dinosaur Appeal work in Jurassic World Evolution 3 The Dinosaur Appeal rating is a complex metric that works on a star-based system. Every dinosaur has an appeal rating of five stars that they can have at their highest. Naturally, these creatures will be the start attraction of your park, and visitors will be flocking in to get their view. However, the dinosaurs in your park won't automatically get a five-star appeal, and there are specific steps that you'll need to keep in check. How to increase Dinosaur Appeal in Jurassic World Evolution 3 Dinosaur Appeal grows gradually over time based on how well you're taking care of your creatures. For starters, your dinosaurs will have to have maximum comfort, which ensures that they're happy in their enclosures.For utmost comfort, they will need to be placed in a spacious enclosure.If a dinosaur is ill, you'll have to immediately cure it to prevent its appeal from going down.The enclosures must have suitable feeders so that the dinosaurs are comfortable.Every dinosaur has a specific terrain requirement for its enclosures. Try to add them to make your creatures feel at home.Having a suitable companion is going to make your dinosaurs stay comfortable, while adding a rival will only create friction. All these factors will directly determine the appeal of a particular dinosaur. While having maximum Dinosaur Appeal isn't mandatory and your park will still make a profit without it, a five-star rating certainly helps to bring in the extra Dollars. Like our content?

Anker quietly released a new 25,000mAh power bank earlier this year that sits alongside their Anker 737 and Prime series of power banks. This particular model boasts a massive 25,000mAh battery capacity, 165W of total charging output, and two built-in USB Type-C cables in case you forget to bring your own. It normally retails for $135, but there's a deal today that drops the price to $91.99. This is a great complement to your power-hungry gaming handheld PC like the Steam Deck, Xbox Ally X, or Lenovo Legion Go. In fact, it can also charge non-gaming laptops including most new MacBooks. Note that the 165W spec is a bit misleading. Although the Anker power bank can indeed deliver up to 165W of total power output, an individual USB Type-C charging port can actually only deliver up to 100W max. New Release: Anker 25,000mAh 165W Power Bank The new Anker power bank features a 25,000mAh battery capacity, which is the second largest capacity we've seen from Anker in a compact form factor. So how much juice will that offer to today's gaming handheld PCs? A 25,000mAh battery equates to a 95Whr capacity. An 80% power efficiency rating (which is standard for power banks) means you get about 76Whr of usable charge. That means this power bank will charge a Steam Deck or ROG Ally (40Whr) from empty to completely full 2 times, an Asus ROG Ally X (80Whr) 1 time, and a Nintendo Switch (16Whr) about 4.75 times. The Anker power bank has one USB Type-C port and one USB Type-A port. In addition, there are two built-in USB Type-C cables. One is a retractable cable that can extend up to 2.3 feet. The other is a fixed 1-foot cable that doubles up as a lanyard when not in use. Each USB Type-C port is capable of up to 100W of Power Delivery with a total 165W maximum output. That enough to fast charge any gaming handheld PC at its fastest rate. It's also powerful enough to max out the charging speed on most non-gaming laptops, including the MacBook Air and the 14" MacBook Pro. Another feature common to Anker's other premium power banks is the digital LCD readout. It displays a wealth of information like remaining battery capacity, current charging rate, input/output wattage, battery temperature, battery health, charge cycle count, and more. TSA-Approved TSA states that power banks must be under 100Whr in capacity for carry-on (check-in is not allowed under any circumstances). This Anker power bank is rated at 95Whr. You might get checked simply because this is a relatively hefty power bank, but you shouldn't have any problems getting it cleared.
