The undead just do not stay dead, do they? But at least they bring loot! Call of Duty's Zombies mode is back in ****** Ops 7, and there's a whole lot of camos to earn in it. Starting with Ashes of the Damned, BO7's first round-based Zombies map, new content for the co-op mode will be added throughout the year.

During the seventh mission of Call of Duty: ****** Ops 7's campaign, Fracture, the team gets stuck inside of a resort in Japan. In reality, it's a hallucination brought on by the trauma from a mission gone awry in 50/50's past. Either way, you're stuck because there's a keypad code you need, and 50/50 can't quite remember it. Luckily for you, I am a sleuth as well as a CoD player. Here's what you need to know for BO7 co-op campaign mission Fracture's keypad code solution. 'Press Forward - Find the keypad code' solution in BO7 campaign Image via Activision The solution to the keypad code "puzzle" on Fracture is right in front of you...or behind you. First, hack the terminal in the room opposite of where the keypad is by rotating and connecting the modules as you've done numerous times throughout the campaign before this. Once the hacking puzzle is complete, look behind the counter of the hotel resort lobby and you will see all sorts of red numbers flashing on the screen. "The numbers, Mason, what do they mean?!" Sound familiar? 50/50 will do you the courtesy of repeating the first two numbers over and over again as 4-2. When looking at the screen, there's only one set that begins with 4-2. For me, the code I input to open the door was 4-2-8-3, as you can see in the image below, and it worked fine. The keypad code looks like it wants you to enter in eight numbers, but the four I put in work just fine. This code may differ for each individual player or playthrough, as ****** Ops games have done in the past. So first, try 4-2-8-3, otherwise, look at the numbers on the screen behind the hotel counter and enter those in, whatever can be found bundled with 4-2. Screenshot by Destructoid If it's not 4-2-8-3, just enter in whatever the screen shows for you and then input it on the keypad to continue the mission.

Konami and NeoBards have just answered the prayers of many with new Silent Hill f patch notes that target the most divisive part of Hinako's adventure: its notoriously awkward combat. While there's certainly a case to be made that the clunky battles contribute to the overall atmosphere of one of the best horror games this year, there are times when they shift from thematic to frustrating and threaten to pull you out of the experience rather than deepen your immersion. If you've been feeling that way, this Silent Hill f update has the answers. Read the rest of the story...

If you're someone looking to spend countless hours in Inazuma Eleven Victory Road, the Chronicle Mode will be your favourite choice out of all available content in the game. The Chronicle Mode is an exclusive piece of content that works separately from all other game modes. It allows you to recruit characters, play opponents, and progress gradually towards the primary goal. This guide will serve as a perfect explainer if you're looking to jump into it first thing after getting your hands on Inazuma Eleven Victory Road. Inazuma Eleven Victory Road Chronicle Mode explained The Chronicle Mode is available from the main menu, and it's the second option from the left (right beside the main story). You don't have to either start or finish the main campaign to take part in Chronicle Mode. This mode has its own tutorial that you can choose to complete (or skip). Screenshot by Destructoid The main objective of the Chronicle Mode is to recruit from among 4,500 characters to make the best team possible. You're doing so to stop the Mind Eater, whose aim is to destroy humanity as we know it. You will do so by using the caravan to time-travel across the series' universe and defeat other teams. The Chronicle Mode features all official matches that we have seen in the eight seasons of the anime, with over 150 teams to defeat. You can rewrite history, as shown in the anime, by defeating the opponents with your own team. You can also train your team and manage the players using Chronicle Dock, which allows you to create new storylines. One of the best features of the Chronicle Mode is the ability to secure new players. As I said, there are 4,500 characters from the anime. You can recruit them using Bond Stars, which, unfortunately, have to be earned outside the Chronicle Mode. Screenshot by Destructoid You can then use them to summon nodes across constellations and gain new characters. Build your team as you feel like, and level up the players to strengthen your team. Unlike the main campaign, you have utmost freedom when it comes to squad customisation. The Chronicle Mode has quickly become my favorite, and it's an excellent choice for anyone who is looking to grind the content without having to deal with the headaches of online matches. While the ultimate challenge stays the same, there's no one way to achieve it. The post How does the Chronicle Mode work in Inazuma Eleven Victory Road appeared first on Destructoid.

В 2020 году Ghost of Tsushima оказалась для многих игроков той самой японской Assassin’s Creed, которую так долго ждали от самой Ubisoft. Sucker Punch Productions весьма удачно переработала всем знакомую формулу, сделав активности в открытом мире менее рутинными, внедрила в игру интересную систему боя с различными стойками и предложила сюжет про самурайские догмы, которые главный герой принялся нарушать, чтобы защитить свой дом. Вопросы морали и чести в совокупности с невероятно красиво воссозданной средневековой Японией позволили американским авторам раскрыть данную тему настолько хорошо, что даже их восточные коллеги остались в восторге.

A brand new Horizon game has been announced, but it’s not the sequel to Forbidden West that you may have been expecting. It’s not a single-player game, nor is it even a PlayStation game. Horizon Steel Frontiers is a MMORPG developed by NCSoft for mobile and PC. Confused? Don’t worry, we’re here to break down everything revealed in the debut trailer. If the idea of an online multiplayer Horizon game sounds familiar, then you’ve likely been paying attention to the rumours that began as far back as 2022. At first glance, it’s clear that this is very much a Horizon game you can play with a team of co-op buddies. The world looks very similar to what we’ve explored before, however this time we’ll be headed to the Deadlands, a brand new region inspired by Arizona and New Mexico. Within that location are plenty of recognisable elements, from destroyed remains of humanity’s past, to the real stars of Horizon: its giant mechanical beasts. But let's start with something less familiar. It’s clear that Steel Frontiers has a different approach to combat compared to its predecessors. Where the single-player games largely focus on ranged combat, using weapons like bows to shoot enemy weakpoints, this new take on the universe seems to be predominantly focused on melee. The trailer’s focal character uses a huge sword, while other characters can be seen using dual blades to slice and dice their way through machine armour. That’s not to say archery has been eliminated – a bow still features throughout the trailer – but blade combat appears to be front and center. There seems to not just be a change in distance between you and your foe, but a dramatic re-think of combat fundamentals. The trailer demonstrates a charged blade ability that can be used to deflect an incoming attack, a type of defensive strategy that’s brand new to Horizon. When it comes to the offensive, you can now, after destroying a specific part of a machine, use the Pullcaster grapple hook to climb onto your target and place a status-inflicting trap on the damaged part. NCSoft has said that elements like this are part of a new approach that tailors Horizon’s existing ideas to suit an MMORPG. It’s clear that lots of Horizon’s combat DNA still remains – we can see machine parts detach in every fight, such as when the main character shoots off a Blaze canister in the trailer’s opening battle. And later, we can see that destroyed machines leave behind resources to pick up. But from what’s shown in this trailer, it seems like Steel Frontiers may feel more like Monster Hunter than traditional Horizon. Executive producer Sung-Gu Lee explains that at the core of the experience is “cooperation and strategy”, and that “players must take on their roles,” ideas that form the basis of Monster Hunter’s multiplayer expeditions. Furthermore, we even see some characters cooking a meal in a cutscene that resembles the chef montages from Monster Hunter’s own meal prep system. Perhaps all this shouldn’t come as a surprise, though: there’s certainly more than a little of Capcom’s series in Horizon already. Other combat additions we can see in the trailer include some kind of sticky bomb that can be used to deal massive damage to machines – perhaps this is one of those aforementioned traps? You also now have the ability to pack machine weapons on your mount, allowing you to transport heavy artillery from one battle to another. Talking of mounts, we see almost all of the tameable machines from Forbidden West being used in this trailer. It opens with a Bristleback being Overridden and claimed as a mount, and later we see characters riding Sunwings and Chargers. We also see confirmation of a brand new mount: the trailer’s protagonist rides on the back of a Stalker, the stealth camo-equipped, Panther-like machine. Considering Forbidden West expanded the number of mounts available, and MMORPGs are typically known for their range of mounts, it seems likely that even more machines will be available for taming. With any luck, this is the game where we can finally pilot a Thunderjaw. We don’t actually see Horizon’s iconic, metallic T-Rex in this trailer, but there are over a dozen other machines on display here, from the tiny all the way up to the gigantic. The most impressive fight sees a group take on a Slaughterspine, which uses many of the abilities it did in Forbidden West, including its rain of munitions. Other examples of “Oh god please don’t kill me” machines include the fearsome Fireclaw, a napalm-spewing robo-bear, and a huge snake-like machine that looks like a Slitherfang crossed with a Rockbreaker, which is very likely our first glimpse of a new variety of metal monster. The biggest creature, though, is the Tallneck, and we can see a group of machine hunters attempting to bring one down in the desert. Once again, these look like they’ll be large climbing puzzles, judged on the way the characters climb its neck. On the smaller side, we can spot a Watcher, some Grazers, a Plowhorn, a Trampler, a Ravager, and a Shellwalker… whose shell is whisked away into the sky by a Glinthawk. It seems like NCSoft understands the mission when it comes to enemy variety. As previously mentioned, the world looks suitably like Horizon’s signature vision of the future. Lush green foliage has overtaken the ruins of human skyscrapers, people live in villages that take inspiration from Native American tribes, and below the ground lie giant vaults filled with advanced technology . These “Cauldrons” return from the single-player Horizon games, but can now be explored with a team of allied players. It seems sensible to guess that these Cauldrons may be Steel Frontiers’ equivalent to the classic MMORPG dungeon. So far, a great deal of what we’ve seen looks very close to what we’d expect of a Horizon game. Steel Frontiers has been developed in collaboration with original developer Guerrilla, and so no doubt many efforts have been made to keep the visual style and many gameplay ideas consistent. However, with the Korean-based NCSoft being the lead developer, you can also see some more Eastern elements finding their place in this universe. All the characters have an anime-like aesthetic, looking more like folks from Final Fantasy or NCSoft’s own Lineage games, rather than the characters from the original Horizon series. There’s even a bit of a cutesy thing going on with a character’s wearing metal cat ears – something we’d never see the serious Aloy wear in a thousand years. Of course, if you're a Horizon purist, you may be able to create a character that’s more in-line with the original games’ aesthetic in the character creator. This being an MMORPG, you won’t be playing as Aloy or any other pre-written protagonist, but a character of your own design. The character creator seems reasonably in-depth, and also allows you to choose which tribe you’ll join: the Nora, Tenakth, Utaru, or Oseram – all groups previously established in Horizon lore. The trailer’s narration hints at competitive PvP as well as co-op machine hunting, so it may be that your tribe also acts as your “team” in such scenarios. While Steel Frontiers looks to contain much of what we’d expect from Horizon, from RPG dialogue sequences to giant metal monster fights, this is certainly set to be a new and different take on the universe we’ve come to love over the last couple of PlayStation generations. Not to mention, it’s a Horizon game we’ll be playing on our phones, not our PS5s. But did you spot anything new and interesting in the trailer that we missed? Let us know your sharp observations in the comments below, as well as what you think of this new MMO direction. Matt Purslow is IGN's Executive Editor of Features. View the full article

For the first time in the series' history, Call of Duty: ****** Ops 7's multiplayer will feature two distinct playlist types: Open and Standard. One focuses primarily on connection-based matchmaking, the other incorporates skill. Here's how they work. What is the Open Playlist in ****** Ops 7? Image via Activision The Open playlist could also be called the connection-focused playlist, as, according to Treyarch, it only lightly considers your in-game skill rating when matching you against other players. It will instead try to place you in lobbies that offer the best possible connection between you, the other players, and the server. The goal here is to ensure the best possible hit detection and the lowest possible lag in gunfights. Fewer deaths around corners, more accurate shots actually hitting and damaging the enemy, and so on. Image via Activision The game still utilizes SBMM (Skill-Based Matchmaking) in the Open Playlist, but to a much lesser extent. In previous titles, SBMM tried to split teams evenly along skill levels such that you would average a 50% win/loss ratio. That system made it possible for highly skilled players to be placed alongside far weaker teammates, and if the opposing team were spread more evenly, it would probably result in a stomping for the stronger player. With the new system in place, matches should be a bit more random in how teams are assembled and give stronger players a better chance of doing the dominating without needing to worry about how much their teammates are dragging them down. What is the Standard Playlist? Image via Activision The Standard playlist maintains the far stricter SBMM of previous titles, favoring more even team composition based on player score-per-minute and other performance metrics. However, as a separate playlist on a different screen from Open matchmaking, only those players who want the heavier skill-based lobbies are liable to go there. It remains to be seen whether splitting the matchmaking in this way will cause a major split in the player base, but generally, it seems players are happy with the change. Image via Activision What's less clear is whether what the community coined as Engagement-Based Matchmaking (EOMM) is still in effect. EOMM, in layman's terms, was a supposed additional layer of SBMM that pushed even harder for a 50/50 win/loss ratio while also favoring placing players together based on the skins they were wearing. If players are just satisfied enough with how their matches are going, the logic went, they'd keep playing. And the more they played with people who shelled out real money for skins, the more likely they were to pony up as well. It's also unclear if the SBMM changes being made at the launch of ****** Ops 7 will remain in place for any length of time, or if the system will revert to its previous state from the last several years of Call of Duty titles. Hopefully, it doesn't. The post What’s the difference between the Open and Standard playlists in ****** Ops 7? appeared first on Destructoid. View the full article

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has brought turn-based RPGs back into the spotlight, and while that's exciting, it has also caused the in-development game The Time I Have Left to be accused of copying Sandfall Interactive's breakout hit. The Time I Have Left may share some similarities with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, but developers are assuring gamers that it's far from a rip-off. View the full article
