Here's where to find each pumpkin.

The Spaceport Trench Tower key can help your ARC Raiders grind with some excellent rewards, but to do so, you'll first have to gain access. Finding non-quest-related keys in ARC Raiders isn't a difficult task. However, the task gets harder if you're looking for a particular key. This guide will help you with the possible locations of where the Spaceport Trench Tower key can spawn, and update where you can use it. Table of contentsHow to get the Spaceport Trench Tower key in ARC RaidersWhere to use the Spaceport Trench Tower key in ARC RaidersHow to get the Spaceport Trench Tower key in ARC Raiders There are two perfect spots to look at if you're going for the Spaceport Trench Tower key. Ruby Residence is the location from which a few of my friends managed to obtain the key. The building is located in the northwestern part of Dam Battlegrounds. Screenshot and Remix by Destructoid I have also marked the Research and Administration building on the screenshot above. I have managed to find the Trench Tower key just once, and it was from this location. The Trench Tower key spawns randomly, and you'll need to search through every container in the locations that I have mentioned. If you don't find the key, the only option is to extract and return. The loot you get, keys included, mainly depends on round-based map rotation. Where to use the Spaceport Trench Tower key in ARC Raiders There are two parts of the Trench Tower - North and South. You'll have to be at the North Trench Tower in Spaceport to use the key. I have marked the exact spot where you'll need to be. Once you reach that spot, you'll find a set of stairs in front of you (right in front of the North Trench Tower). Screenshot and Remix by Destructoid Take the stairs, and it will lead you to the locked door. Use the key from your inventory to open the loot spot, and grab everything you can. A note of caution, though, since ARCs are guarding the riches. It's better to dispose of them first before you and your buddies start looting the place.

You don't have to hold your breath much longer, as Enshrouded's Wake of the Water update is finally close to release after being pushed back. If you're eager to dive underwater and start exploring, you'll want to know exactly when it's launching. It's been a while since a big new update has launched for Enshrouded, with the last major one releasing back in May. Players are due for some exciting new content, and the devs are ready to deliver some huge additions and changes, so here's the exact date and item when the Wake of Water update will be released for Enshrouded. Enshrouded Wake of Water update release date and time Screenshot by Destructoid The Wake of Water update for Enshrouded is officially set to arrive on Nov. 10. It was originally slated to launch sometime in October, but was pushed back "in order to give Wake of the Water all the polish it needs," according to an official dev update blog. An exact launch time hasn't been shared yet, but all past patches, including both major updates and smaller ones focused on bug fixes, have all launched between 7am and 8am CT. It seems likely then that this one will too, so we've set our timer to 7am for now. We'll update this countdown if a different time is revealed so you can check back here to see how much longer you need to wait. [hurrytimer id="1137904"]PT: 5am on Nov. 10CT: 7am on Nov. 10ET: 8am on Nov. 10BST: 2pm on Nov. 10CEST: 3pm on Nov. 10JST: 10pm on Nov. 10AEST: 11pm on Nov. 10Enshrouded Wake of Water update features Screenshot by Destructoid As the name hints, Enshrouded's Wake of Water update primarily focuses on introducing water to the world of Embervale. There are plenty of other exciting additions, both water-focused and otherwise, to look forward to as well, though, so here's a breakdown of all key update features. Water – Water finally exists in Embervale, as the Wake of Water update adds water with physics. Water biome – A new water-focused region is being added in this update, and it includes a gorgeous-looking temple-like structure nestled among a tropical environment. Swimming mechanics – Dive under the surface and explore everything hidden underwater with new swimming mechanics. Weapons overhaul – Weapons are getting a massive rework to better align their names with their actual abilities. The goal of this overhaul is to "better match [weapon] visual and thematic identities," according to an official dev update blog. An example of this new vision is the Ice-Coated Daggers, which will now deal pierce and ice damage, plus have unlockable ice damage perks with upgrades instead of just dealing cut and pierce damage as they do now. Weapon durability has been enhanced across all weapons, and now scales with level and rarity.Aquatic enemies – New ways to explore also mean new foes to face, and there are plenty of them lurking underwater. Fishing – In a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment featured at about 52 seconds into the teaser trailer, two players are fishing, which means this is yet another water-focused addition arriving in the update. Screenshot by Destructoid Craftable lore weapons – Any lore weapon unlocked at any stage can now be crafted. This also means you can craft better versions of lore weapons, so if you find a weak one you like early on, you can always craft a higher-level version of it. There are craftable lore weapons for every weapon type, so there's something available for all classes.New enemy weapons – More weapons can now drop from enemies, including items like the Fell Thunderbrute Greatsword to the Scavenger's fearsome Acid Cleaver. Enemy weapon drops also scale with enemy level and range in rarity from common to legendary. Regeneration balance – Health regeneration, stamina regeneration, and mana regeneration have all been reduced. This change is designed to make combat more interesting and something you have to prepare for ahead of time by eating, making potions, and building your character.New Mage spell – A fresh spell called Fire Bolt is now available to Mages. It's an early game spell that has been added to address the lack of support for this class early on. Removed exploit – A chest loot exploit used by many players has been officially removed with this update. Loot chests now save their looted state, which means you can no longer reload the game to try and obtain different items from them. If you're not sure what to do while you wait for the update to arrive, there's plenty to work on in Enshrouded. You might work on gathering all building blocks and materials, acquiring Dried Fur, finding gems, and changing your appearance.

Battlefield 6 developer BF Studios has announced a “major” overhaul of Challenges and Assignments, with “substantial” adjustments across the board. BF Studios said that these changes, outlined in patch notes below, build on the recent updates that increased the XP earned in official matches and reduced the XP needed for the first 20 attachment ranks. “This update makes significant reductions to challenge requirements, cutting down on time investment while maintaining a focus on skill-driven progression that rewards consistent play,” BF Studios explained. “Challenges and Assignments are tuned around defined playtime targets, and these changes bring their requirements in line with those goals to make them more achievable within a reasonable session length." BF Studios continued: "Assignments will continue to range from goals you can complete through regular play to a few that reward true mastery, particularly those tied to cosmetic items. Some of the original criteria did not fully reflect that intent, and we have updated them to make their difficulty and purpose clearer.” The first set of changes went live today, November 5, through a server-side update and are available immediately. Any progress you’ve already made will automatically be applied when you enter a match, unlocking any challenges or assignments you now meet based on the updated criteria. BF Studios said the scale of its plans for Challenges and Assignments is “large and will take place over multiple server-side and client-side updates,” so players can expect additional updates in the future. While Battlefield 6 has enjoyed a record-breaking launch, some have critisized the pace of in-game progression, which this update looks to address. Other hot topics include the size of Battlefield 6's multiplayer maps compared to those in previous games, and out-of-place soldier skins. We've got plenty more on Battlefield 6, including word on the hidden firing range room that players are investigating for secret Easter Eggs and hints at future content. Those looking to brush up on their online skills can also read our multiplayer tips and tricks guide. Community Update - Challenge & Assignment Changes patch notes: In this first set of changes we made a total of 90+ adjustments to Challenges and Assignments. Below we’ve highlighted a few examples. Class Challenges Assault, Engineer, Support, and Recon challenges now complete much faster. Assault 2: Have Squadmates deploy on your Spawn Beacon.Reduced from 50 deploys to 5.Support 2: Revive teammates as Support.Reduced from 200 revives to 60. Weapon Assignments All weapon-type assignments (ARs, SMGs, LMGs, Shotguns, DMRs, Snipers, Carbines) have been significantly simplified. Rapid Fire 1/Assault Rifle: Inflict damage with Assault Rifles.Reduced from requiring 10000 inflicted damage to 3000. Mode & Unit Assignments The majority of our mode-specific assignments (Conquest, Rush, Breakthrough, Domination, and others) have been standardized to require two wins per tier. This change makes it easier to pursue these challenges with clear intent. Conquest 2: Wins in Conquest.Reduced from 5 wins to 2.Conquest 3: Objective kills in a round of Conquest.Reduced from 30 objective kills in a round to 10. Gameplay & Mastery General “Expert” and “Master” assignments that require multi-kills, headshots, kill streaks, or revives have been adjusted to better match the natural rhythm of gameplay. For example, multi-kill and streak goals now align with average round performance rather than rare, outlier achievements. Explosives Expert 2: Get Multi Kills (2+ Kills Onwards) with explosives.Reduced from 20 Multi Kills to 5.Adaptable 2: Repair damaged Vehicles in a life.Reduced from requiring 3000 damage to 500.

Pokémon Paldean Fates is one of my favorite expansions of the Scarlet & Violet era. That's not only because it has my ultimate chase card (Mew ex #232), but because all of the cards were collectible - even the most basic Pokémon cards in this expansion felt worthy of keeping in my binder. As stock levels drop, it's quickly gone up in value, but you shouldn't buy from big retailers to get a booster bundle at below market value. Read the rest of the story...

Today, November 5, marks 10 years to the day Battlestate Games unveiled its extraction shooter, Escape from Tarkov. And now, 10 days from its 1.0 release, the developer has revealed preorder and beta rewards. Escape from Tarkov is a hardcore MMO mixture of first-person shooter / third-person shooter and role-playing gameplay. Players need to find a way out of the isolated Russian city of Tarkov, survive deadly hazards, and unearth the mysteries of the city. It's been playable in early access form since making its debut in 2016, and it's finally coming to Steam as part of the 1.0 launch on November 15. For anyone thinking of preordering the shooter ahead of its November 15 release — or those who've already preordered it — players can get following awards: Clothing set: USEC Legionnaire Olive Clothing set: Bear Sumrak ReversePMC Dogtag: ImmortalPrayer Armband: Head, EyesHideout Style: Echo of BattleShooting Target: HatchlingMannequin: poses While those will be available to all who preorder, there's also a handful of additional goodies for players who have the Unheard and Edge of Darkness (EOD) editions: Gamma Container: Battle-wornHideout Style: ForgottenPrayer Armband: LootShooting Target: Ace of Spades Unheard Edition owners also get: Prayer Armband: SEBU KOMARPMC Dogtag: Acolyte Information about the special PMC dogtag, unique armband, and customization for owners of the Edge of Darkness edition "will be announced later." "Today marks 10 years since the release of the very first Escape from Tarkov trailer. As the beta test comes to an end, we want to thank you for your support and for the opportunity to create a universe that has united players all over the world," the team said. "Countless updates, TarkovTV episodes, and in-game events — none of this would have been possible without you, our players. "On November 15, we will turn a new page together with you. In the meantime, we invite you to check out the rewards that will be available for preordering and participating in the beta test." Escape from Tarkov's 1.0 release hasn't been without controversy, however. Fans criticized Battlestate Games after the developer confirmed players will be required to repurchase the full game if they want to play it on Steam. It'll be interesting to see how Escape from Tarkov measures up against the current extraction shooter darling, Arc Raiders. It has a peak concurrent player count of 354,836 on Steam, making it one of the biggest extraction shooters ever on Valve's platform. Another key competitor could be Bungie's upcoming Marathon.

Obsidian has said it’s well aware that whenever it announces a new game, people ask where Fallout: New Vegas 2 is, but it loves how it’s been able to create new IP and even release sequels to them — and its owner Microsoft sounds like it supports that approach. Fallout Season 2 is set to hit Prime Video this December, and while Bethesda has a new Fallout: New Vegas bundle up its sleeve, there’s no word yet on a Fallout remaster or a Fallout: New Vegas 2 to capitalize on the surge of interest in the franchise. Obsidian is of course the developer of the much-loved 2010 RPG Fallout: New Vegas, so fans often wonder whether it will return to the setting for a sequel, especially given it’s owned by Bethesda parent company Microsoft. Obsidian, though, has focused on making brand new games, and it is prolific in doing so. It’s released Grounded (Grounded 2 came out this year), fantasy RPG Avowed (which came out this year), and sci-fi RPG The Outer Worlds (The Outer Worlds 2 came out this year). Pentiment, which came out last year, was another brand new game, although I wouldn’t expect a sequel to that any time soon. In an interview with The Game Business, Obsidian’s VP of operations Marcus Morgan and VP of production Justin Britch touched on the fan calls for a New Vegas follow-up, but pointed to its work establishing new franchises as a “joy.” “I know everyone on the internet, on every game we ever announce, will constantly reference back to, ‘When’s the next New Vegas? Or when’s the next whatever?” Morgan said. “But this year, in addition to it being a celebration of shipping three games, all three of those games are IP that we’ve created, that are Obsidian IP. Our history, prior to the Microsoft acquisition, really was surrounding around working on others’ IP. And this is the joy that we get of… how do we start to define our own and how do we build our own IP? And we’ve got to the part where we have sequels to all of them. All of them are sequels to the IP we created.” And it sounds like Microsoft has supported Obsidian’s desire to do just that, even though you’d think the mega corp might have gone hard on Fallout, especially with the hugely popular Fallout TV show breaking through into the mainstream. “Xbox has been pretty supportive of the stuff we want to do,” Britch insisted. “It’s been great.” There was no mention made during the recent Fallout Day broadcast of a Fallout: New Vegas remaster, which some (including Danny Trejo!) have called on Bethesda to develop. Indeed, there were no new Fallout games announced at all. Find out everything announced during the Fallout Day broadcast here. But there are all sorts of rumors floating around about potential Fallout remakes now that The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is out the door (Fallout 3 Remastered was leaked back in 2023, but those plans may have changed). And we know Bethesda wants to eventually get to Fallout 5, albeit after The Elder Scrolls 6. The last we heard on Fallout 5, by the way, was back in June 2024, when Bethesda Softworks head Todd Howard said he wasn’t interested in rushing it out the door. Howard opened up about the future of the hit post-apocalyptic RPG series during an interview with YouTube content creator MrMattyPlays. "For other Fallout games in the future, you know, obviously I can’t talk about those right now, but I would say, sort of rushing through them, or we kind of need to get stuff out that is different than the work we’re doing in 76… we don’t feel like we need to rush any of that," he said. "The Fallout TV show fills a certain niche in terms of the franchise and storytelling." The last mainline Fallout game was Fallout 4, which was released in 2015. DLC content for the entry was steadily released for PC and consoles over the next year, and in 2018, Bethesda launched its multiplayer-centered offshoot, Fallout 76. While fans flocked to the West Virginia-set open-world RPG over time (and after a rocky launch), it wasn’t until the premiere of Prime Video’s Fallout TV show that the Bethesda series leveled up in terms of attention. Still, Howard wouldn't budge when it came to desires for a substantial video game release. For him, it comes down to wanting to treat Bethesda's franchises with care. "Totally get the desire for a new kind of mainline single-player game," he said. "And look, those things take time. I don’t think it’s bad for people to miss things. We just want to get it right and make sure that everything we’re doing in a franchise, whether it’s Elder Scrolls, Fallout, or now Starfield, that those become meaningful moments for everybody who loved these franchises as much as we do." In the meantime, The Outer Worlds 2 has strong New Vegas vibes. Check out IGN's The Outer Worlds 2 review for more. Wesley is Director, News at IGN. Find him on Twitter at @wyp100.

I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't go berserk if a new Fallout New Vegas got announced - especially if Microsoft and Bethesda let Obsidian take the reins again. While other entries come close, it remains my favorite game in the post-apocalyptic series. However, even if the trigger did get pulled on New Vegas 2, I genuinely don't think Obsidian would want the gig. It's been cheffing up its own projects at a remarkable rate, and is even finding the time and passion to go and cram turn-based combat into Pillars of Eternity, for crying out loud. In a new interview, a prominent figure at the studio discusses how it's found a lot of "joy" in nurturing its own ideas and forging a true 'Obsidian identity' - one that doesn't rely on other peoples' IP.

One of my favorite books is Travis Baldree's Legends and Lattes. As a high fantasy fanatic and self-professed coffee connoisseur, it's literally the perfect story for me, and while its sequel, Bookshops and Bonedust, didn't hit quite as hard, I love the juxtaposition of the seemingly mundane with the magical. Tavern Keeper, a cozy RPG with flickers of Stardew Valley's management, does exactly the same thing: you open pubs across a sprawling fantasy world, and are tasked with keeping them running.
