Marvel Comics has no shortage of teams and groups that come together to fight against the evils of the world, and Marvel Rivals already has several of them represented. X-Men, Avengers, and Spider-Verse heroes are just some of the existing groups already in the game. But in season 4.5 with the arrival of Daredevil, a new team has come to the forefront: Marvel Knights. In the 1990s, Marvel Knights was a special run of comics that included several limited series but also was a part of ongoing series of comics, but they centered around a number of characters that are in the game. In season 4.5, a new achievement requires some Knights knowledge to progress. Here's everything there is to know about the Marvel Rivals "The Defenders" achievement, including who counts as Marvel Knights. Marvel Rivals 'The Defenders' achievement - Marvel Knights members Screenshot by Destructoid To unlock "The Defenders" achievement in Marvel Rivals and land 10 KOs as Daredevil with other Marvel Knights members, you need to combine for a KO on enemy players with ****** Widow, Blade, Cloak & Dagger, Moon Knight, or The Punisher. This achievement should come pretty naturally if you play as Daredevil and earn eliminations while playing with any of the other above heroes, who are just some of the Marvel characters who could be considered Marvel Knights. Just play any match in Marvel Rivals as Daredevil and team up with the other heroes to land eliminations on enemy players, meaning both of you need to deal damage to the player to eliminate them, and this achievement should pop pretty quickly. Finishing this will unlock 10 achievement points on the rewards track. Like our content?

Battlefield 6 is now out worldwide on PC and consoles, and you can tweak the graphics settings to get the best performance. Being a competitive shooter, it's essential to ensure that there are no sudden lag spikes or frame drops. If you have a consistent FPS at all times, the visual performance will be smoother, offering you a key edge over your opponents. This guide will help you get the most out of your hardware as long as it meets the requirements to run Battlefield 6. Table of contentsBest tips and tricks for smooth graphics in Battlefield 6Best graphic settings in Battlefield 6Best tips and tricks for smooth graphics in Battlefield 6 There are some basic steps that you'll need to get right before jumping into a game in Battlefield 6. Ensure that your graphics drivers are up to date. Whether you're using an Nvidia card or one from AMD, check whether there's an available update. Having updated graphic drivers will be key to getting the best visual performance.I will recommend turning off Vsync unless your hardware is pretty strong and comfortably clears the recommended requirements. You'll be losing very little by turning it off, while putting less stress on your system.Until we get a few patches rolling out, it's better to cap the FPS. If your hardware is close to the minimum requirements, set it to 60 FPS. Otherwise, you can crank it up to 90 FPS. While you could potentially lose on more frames, having a cap will stabilize the number of frames you're hitting every moment. Let's look at what I am using on my system to get the best visual performance. Best graphic settings in Battlefield 6 My current setup has the following specifications: AMD Ryzen 5600G, NVIDIA RTX 3060 12 GB, and 16 GB of DDR5 RAM.

The day we've all been waiting for is finally here: Battlefield 6 is officially live. However, despite EA's saying the servers will be ready for the incoming traffic, players are clogging up the ****** so hard it's reaching numbers as high as my country's total population. As of this article, I am sitting in a ****** at position 416,000, meaning there's half a million people ahead of me trying to get into the game. I don't even want to look behind myself at the line that is just forming, given that this ****** size is already almost equal to my home country's population of some 625,000. Battlefield 6 is by far EA's biggest release in these last few years, with this summer's open beta indicating we'd be in for a true storm once the launch day comes. It's almost as much as Iceland! Screenshot by Destructoid And the launch day has come, with BF6 now officially live across the world. Though the server ****** is massive, performance remains stable and steady, with respectable frames and pings. Finding a match is super easy, whether through official matchmaking or the server browser, and that should remain so for the foreseeable future. The server ****** is also moving relatively quickly, so even if you do get stuck way behind, you shouldn't spend too long within it. Hopefully, EA will also expand the server network in the coming days as the company adjusts to the infinite sea of players trying to get their hands on what could just be the best Battlefield in a decade. In the meantime: stay frosty, soldiers, and we'll see you all at the front of the ****** (after we're done compiling shaders for an extra five minutes, that is). Like our content?

More than 90 staff who worked on this year's blockbuster flop MindsEye have sent a searing open letter to the company's management calling for change, after "one of the worst video game launches this decade." The letter states that between 250 and 300 staff have now lost their jobs due to MindsEye's failure, something which is blamed squarely on the decisions of company bosses. There's strong criticism, too, of the way layoffs were handled, with the suggestion that misinformation may have lead to the "wrongful dismissal of dozens of staff members." Today's letter, published through *** game development worker union IWGB, calls on MindsEye developer Build a Rocket Boy, and specifically its founder Leslie Benzies and co-CEO Mark Gerhard, to apologise for the "mistreatment" of staff and provide "proper compensation for laid-off employees," as well as make improvements to layoff processes, ahead of what sounds like expected "future reduncies." "For years, you have expected [employees] to adapt to your every whim, with those in disagreement being shut down or cast aside," the letter reads. "These layoffs happened because you repeatedly refused to listen to your workforce's years of experience, resulting in one of the worst video game launches this decade." Examples of issues faced due to management failures include "radical changes" to working practices with little explanation, "confusion and distress for all staff" as redundancies began — including various errors in the dismissal process, and four months of mandatory overtime ahead of MindsEye's launch for which staff say they still have not been fully compensated. "These and many other issues," the letter continues, "have caused pain and stress for your employees. Our experience at the company has been one of burnout, job insecurity, health issues, and the failure of a game that many of us have put years of our lives into." In an email to IGN, the IWGB provided further quotes from former staff members backing up the letter's claims. One ex-MindsEye developer said that Build A Rocket Boy's "public statements of care have not matched the reality of working conditions" at the company. Another detailed seeing "mental and even physical illnesses, beyond the usual burnout" among fellow staff due to the months of overtime. "Studio leadership have chosen not to take responsibility for the game's failure and instead blamed saboteurs, as if individual employees or online influencers could have caused this," one former employee stated, referencing the bizarre comments made by Gerhard ahead of release that blamed unnamed hostile forces for the game's poor reception — a position that MindsEye publisher IO Interactive later distanced itself from. "The arrogance of leadership to believe they can act with impunity throughout development and the following redundancies has pushed myself and many former and continuing employees to take a stand." Originally planned as a single-player component for Everywhere, a seemingly now-abandoned metaverse-style platform, MindsEye ultimately launched to a negative response and lackluster sales. Build a Rocket Boy has since said it wants to continue working on the game and give it something of a relaunch, though more recently cautioned that this would take longer than planned. Today's letter concludes with demands for a public apology and proper compensation, for remaining staff still at risk of redundancy to take payment in leave of notice, a commitment to use an external partner in future layoffs to prevent unfair treatment, and for a "concerted, meaningful and documented effort to improve conditions and processes within the company." "The treatment that workers at Build A Rocket Boy have been facing in the past 12 months has been shocking," IWGB Game Workers chairperson Spring McparlinJones said in a statement passed to IGN. "They have been routinely belittled, cheated, and manipulated by the company they dedicated years of their lives to. Despite this, they were able to keep trust in each other and work together to fight for fair treatment." Image credit: IWGB Tom Phillips is IGN's News Editor.

Asus has just seemingly revealed a crucial detail in the marketing materials for a new motherboard, which is that the BIOS for one of its new AM5 boards will support next-gen AMD Ryzen CPUs based on the new Zen 6 architecture. The new space-age Asus B850M AYW Gaming OC board is designed for overclockers looking to squeeze as much performance as possible out of their system, and a marketing image suggests it's going to support new AMD CPUs well into the future. AMD is rumored to be making big changes to both core counts and clock speeds with Zen 6, with leaks circulating about a 24-core AMD CPU in the range, as well as 7GHz clock speeds. Importantly, it now looks as though you'll be able to simply flash the BIOS on your existing AM5 motherboard and pop in one of these new CPUs when you want to upgrade, without having to overhaul your whole system.

It's hard to top Valve when it comes to its catalog of timeless, competitive multiplayer games. Dota 2 and Counter-Strike are of course the poster children, but Team Fortress 2 is still going extremely strong all these years later and benefitting from occasional updates, too. However, over time, classics like TF2 evolve - new mechanics, maps, and modes, balance changes, and even engine upgrades often mean that a game's original feel gets lost. Team Fortress 2 Classic is a long-running mod that aims to take things back to those early days of TF2, and it recently made its way to Steam. However, its upcoming open beta has been scrapped after coming across an unusual issue - Valve won't let something be a mod and a demo at the same time. This strange case may have also spawned a new problem for Team Fortress 2 Classic - it might have to rebrand. Read the rest of the story...
