Wow, is it almost time for Season 4 already? The ****** Ops 6 era of Call of Duty seems to be zooming by, but it does at least mean another wave of content will flood the game very soon. While it's not the most extraordinary season I've ever seen Call of Duty produce, it's still a solid offering with plenty of new weapons, modes, and maps (including a remaster of one of my favorite CoD arenas). While Zombies fans may be disappointed to hear that there won't be a new round-based map for them in ****** Ops 6 Season 4, there is at least a surprising, long-forgotten mode making a comeback after more than 12 years of absence.

Characters like Magneto, Human Torch, and Luna Snow are becoming almost instant bans in Competitive play, while ****** Widow barely sees any play. View the full article

After arriving in Ginormosia in Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time, you'll meet a peculiar eye tower before exploring an open world. Along the way, you'll find tiny Leafe creatures stuck in the ground that, when freed, will reward you with special materials and recipes. The first region you'll explore after discovering Ginormosia is West Dryridge Desert. Although it's a relatively small region compared to the rest of the map, it still holds numerous secrets to uncover and five Leafes to help. Here's a complete list of every Leafe location in Fantasy Life i's West Dryridge Desert. Table of contentsWest Dryridge Desert Leafe locations in Fantasy Life iFirst Leafe locationSecond Leafe locationThird Leafe locationFourth Leafe locationFifth Leafe locationWest Dryridge Desert Leafe locations in Fantasy Life i Screenshot by Destructoid Fantasy Life i's West Dryridge Desert features five hidden Leafe creatures. They'll initially appear as leaves coming out of the ground, which you can pluck to free and receive rewards. Below are all five Leafes and their locations: First Leafe location Screenshot by Destructoid Your first Leafe is at the northernmost tip of West Dryridge Desert. If you start from Googlina Tower, travel northwest along the path until the terrain turns into grey rocks. Climb these rocks until you spot the Leafe in the center of one of the platforms. Pulling the Leafe out will reward you with a Cashnut. Second Leafe location Screenshot by Destructoid Your second Leafe is directly southeast of Googlina Tower. Returning to the tower, travel south until you see a small pond with a center island. On this island is a Leafe between two trees, which you can pull out of the ground to receive a Millstone recipe page. Third Leafe location Screenshot by Destructoid West Dryridge Desert's third Leafe is hiding right at the southernmost part of the area. However, you'll need a mount to access it, as the entire center part of the desert is scorching hot. Entering it will damage you every second, making it easy to fall prey to its effects. Once you progress through the main story enough to unlock a mount, head south toward the U-shaped rock formation and climb up it until you spot a yellow leaf on the ground. Pulling it out will reward you with some Desert Cactus. Fourth Leafe location Screenshot by Destructoid Our fourth Leafe is located directly northeast of the third Leafe's spot, next to Jo'ee Shrine. If you haven't encountered the shrine yet, you'll visit it during Fantasy Life i's main storyline. As you approach the shrine, go behind it to spot this orange Leafe in the ground. It'll give you three mini bombs as thanks for pulling it out of the ground. Fifth Leafe location Screenshot by Destructoid The final Leafe is along the northernmost border of West and East Dryridge Deserts. The easiest way to access this spot is to travel northwest from the fourth Leafe's spot or directly north from the third's location. As you approach the border, you'll spot its blue leaves in the ground between two rock formations. Interacting with it will give you three Magical Omelets, marking the end of your hunt for all five West Dryridge Desert Leafe locations.

"Given its popularity, combined with our ongoing effort to keep playlist options focused and manageable, we’re going to experimentally replace core Battle Royale Solos with Battle Royale Casual Solos. While we understand the impact this will have for players who prefer core Battle Royale Solos, it is a compromise we're comfortable with given the larger engagement with other playlist options." New POI - The Overlook Image via Activision Downtown is changing in a big way with a new POI added to Verdansk this season. Welcome to The Overlook. "Dominate foes with a gigantic new skyscraper point of interest, available to Operators within the vicinity of Downtown!" Activision said.
