While I love the high fantasy feel of games like Fable or World of Warcraft, there's nothing quite like the allure of a world plunged into darkness, depravity, and chaos. The hopelessness of Diablo's Sanctuary, the grit and grime of Dragon Age Origins' Deep Roads and Korcari Wilds - for every sparkle, I demand an equal amount of blood splatters. The Necromancer's Tale - as the name might suggest - has gore in droves, accompanied by a Disco Elysium-style investigation system and turn-based combat akin to Baldur's Gate 3. If there's ever a game that screamed 'Lauren,' it's this one. Read the rest of the story...

Greetings and salutations, my friendly bots, and welcome back to the 'Whatcha been playing?' portion of our site that has been dead and buried until now because I felt like bringing it back, no matter what my corporate overlords think. I'm here to revel in your choices this week of games, and what you plan to play this weekend to put your feet up after a long week of work or school—or both. It's been a pretty weird week for releases this time around, with an obvious game coming to mind for weekend gaming ahead. Granted, there's still plenty of things on offer as we look forward to Switch 2's release in three weeks (if, like me, you were lucky enough to get a pre-order in. But let's quit yapping and discuss games, shall we? [Hidden Content] Doom Dark Ages is where I expect a lot of you Game Pass owners to be spending your time this weekend. My fellow Bots on-site have been playing and gushing over it for some time now, which has made me a bit envious while I slog away at the backend, trying to find things to talk about. It feels like a super fun time where I can let my head go empty as I slay demons to heavy metal and ride on dragons. What's not to love about that? I'm not a big Doom fan myself, but the rest of the releases this week are leaving little offerings. So perhaps it's time to go back and check out my backlog of titles I have still to play? The Precinct appears to be a fun indie game, but I also need to go and upgrade my Palworld base ahead of this Summer's ******* new expansion. I really wish Sonic Rumble had launched when it was intended to on May 8, as I feel i'd have been grinding away on that on mobile right about now. I find myself a little lost, honestly, so I'm curious if there's any hidden gems you've been playing that you want to highlight for me, or someone else, to play this weekend if you aren't ripping and tearing away. If you are, leave it in the comments! (Please. I need to some variety in my life) The post What are you playing this weekend, Destructoid? appeared first on Destructoid. View the full article

Fortnite recently added a Darth Vader NPC that is able to keep conversations going thanks to artificial intelligence, and it seems that he also reacts strongly to certain creatures and items on the Battle Royale map. Artificial intelligence has been one of the most discussed topics in the past few years, with the technology now seemingly being used across all types of media, for both good and evil. Epic Games decided to incorporate it in its non-playable characters in Fortnite in a whole new way with the release of update 35.10 on May 16. View the full article

Darth Vader has arrived in Fortnite, and your AI buddy has a death grip on all manner of cool and strange features, including the ability to serenade to you (provided you only expect him to sing Star Wars and Disney-related songs). As summarized by Epic Games partner Shiina, the Darth Vader AI can join and leave squads at will, respond intelligently to the player, issue cued and impromptu dialogue, summarize gameplay events, and warn the player if something's about to go down. Darth Vader will also apparently urge you to seek professional help "if he realizes that your well-being is at risk," saying: "You are valued, Trooper. Seek assistance from the authorities. Your well-being is paramount." If you've got a sweet spot for Vader, though, I'm sorry to inform you that Shiina reports "Darth Vader AI is NOT allowed to engage in a romantic relationship with players." And no, he won't tell you "what he did to the younglings," so don't risk his wrath by even asking. But why read about it when you see him in action? Here's Darth Vader AI popping up unexpectedly in Nick Eh 30's match: GAMEPLAY OF THE DARTH VADER AI, THIS IS CRAZY (via @FN_Assist) [Hidden Content] — Shiina (@ShiinaBR) May 16, 2025 Darth Vader is, of course, voiced by the inimitable James Earl Jones, who sadly died in September 2024 at the age of 93. Epic Games said Darth Vader wouldn’t be "nearly as sinister without the legendary performance of James Earl Jones," adding it was "honored to feature" his voice and thanking his estate for "the opportunity to make this happen for players." Though it didn't elaborate there on how Vader's voice was recreated, elsewhere in an FAQ, Epic explained that the dialogue of Darth Vader's responses is AI-generated using Google's Gemini 2.0 Flash model, with the audio itself generated by ElevenLabs' Flash v2.5. In a statement, the family of James Earl Jones said: "James Earl felt that the voice of Darth Vader was inseparable from the story of Star Wars, and he always wanted fans of all ages to continue to experience it. We hope that this collaboration with Fortnite will allow both longtime fans of Darth Vader and newer generations to share in the enjoyment of this iconic character." Players under 13 or their country’s age of digital consent, whichever is higher, will need their parent or guardian’s permission to talk with Darth Vader. Parents can approve or deny Darth's shenanigans by heading to Epic Games' parental controls and selecting “allow voice and written communication with AI Features." Fortnite is celebrating Star Wars in a big way this season. Called Galactic Battle, it arrived on May 2 and features not only a Star Wars-themed Battle Pass and a five-part saga with plenty of surprises, but also the arrival of Darth Jar Jar to the Battle Royale. The news was shared during Star Wars Celebration, and we got a tease of even more of the Star Wars fun headed our way before the season is up. Earlier today, IGN reported that Epic’s long-running battle with Apple over the future of Fortnite on iOS devices has taken yet another turn, with Epic accusing Apple of blocking its Fortnite submission so it can’t release the game to the U.S. App Store. “Apple has blocked our Fortnite submission so we cannot release to the U.S. App Store or to the Epic Games Store for iOS in the European Union. Now, sadly, Fortnite on iOS will be offline worldwide until Apple unblocks it," Epic told IGN. Vikki Blake is a reporter, critic, columnist, and consultant.

Perhaps the most interesting aspect of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered's magic system is the opportunity to craft your own spells. This system allows players to create powerful, weird, or just plain fun combinations of magical effects once they've reached a certain point in the Mages Guild faction sidequest. Although a trend throughout much of the Elder Scrolls series, the customizable magic system was removed from Skyrim. However, it's been revived by the Oblivion remaster, and many players are diving into it again. View the full article

I have a minor but unwholesome obsession with fire that extends from Far Cry 2's self-propagating blazes through the pyropoetics of Andrea Brady to, most recently, Rescue Ops: Wildfire. In the latter, single and multiplayer firefighting sim, you must save people and battle dynamic blazes on large, countryside maps. Inspired by the increase in wildfires thanks to climate change, it was developed with input from real-life French firefighters, and seems both frantic and strategic. Here's a trailer.

It feels like multiplayer FPS games are starting to come back down to earth. Between Gray Zone Warfare, the upcoming Wraith Ops, and what we've seen of Battlefield 6 so far, the age of wacky skins and far-out customization appears to be coming to an end. Delta Force, however, is a curious middle child. While the ****** Hawk Down campaign (more on that later) and some aspects of its multiplayer are antithetical to the nauseating, bizarro palette of ****** Ops 6, it still has some purple gun skins, and eccentrically designed operators. Maybe that's why it's so popular. Part milsim, part hero shooter, Delta Force is doing better than ever on Steam. Read the rest of the story...

Here's a chance for you to own the fastest gaming GPU you can buy right now, and it's clad in Doom The Dark Ages livery to boot. In this competition, there's an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition up for grabs, marking the release of the new demonic shooter, which is packed full of the latest Nvidia tech, including DLSS 4. While it's extremely expensive, our GeForce RTX 5090 review showed without doubt that the new Nvidia flagship is absolutely the best graphics card you can buy right now when it comes to performance. However, it's also been beset by supply problems, particularly in the US, making it practically impossible to buy at its already-expensive MSRP. As such, this is a great opportunity to throw your hat in the ring and potentially get your hands on this elusive top-end GPU, complete with Doom The Dark Ages imagery. Read the rest of the story...

This month marks the 20th anniversary of the release of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, the concluding chapter in the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy. The film was released on May 19, 2005, and it would end up being the final Star Wars film guided by George Lucas before he sold Lucasfilm to Disney seven years later. Fans knew going into Revenge of the Sith that this was where we’d see Anakin Skywalker turn to the Dark Side of the Force and become Darth Vader, but a big question was what exactly happened to all the other Jedi. The film’s answer was Order 66, a diabolical part of Palpatine’s plan in which he would have all of the Clone Troopers who had fought with the Jedi throughout the Clone Wars suddenly turn on those Jedi and execute them. But with several thousands of Jedi in service at the time, it stood to reason that some would slip through Palpatine’s fingers - and not just the couple we knew had to because they were still around in the Original Trilogy. So amongst the few dozen Order 66 survivors who’ve been introduced in canon Star Wars stories by now, we’ve decided to rank the top 10 that have made an especially big impact. Some of them would only survive for a short time longer, while others managed to make it much further into the timeline - and in a few cases, their final fate remains unknown. Regardless, all of these Jedi at least lived on to fight one more day after Palpatine declared “Execute Order 66.” Some ground rules: The criteria for this list is that these characters had to have spent some time, prior to Order 66, under the jurisdiction of the Jedi Order, whether their final rank was Padawan, Jedi Knight, Jedi Master or even simply those among the very young Jedi Initiate. So that means we’re not counting Force-users like Maul (nor his former Master, Palpatine himself). Nor would it include then-young Force wielders like Jod Na Nawood who never were officially taken in by the Jedi Order and certainly never stepped foot in the Jedi Temple, even if they received a modicum of training from a Jedi. That being said, we did have some inner angst about whether Asajj Ventress should make it on here. After all, she spent over 20 years alongside a Jedi, Ky Narec, who declared her to be his Padawan as he trained her in the ways of the Force while he was stranded with her on the planet Rattatak. Yet, during that time, Ventress never traveled to Coruscant or encountered any of the Jedi Council, nor any other Jedi, prior to Ky Narec’s death. That, plus her turn to the Dark Side as Dooku’s apprentice, makes her a bit of a murky element in regards to her official Jedi status. So consider her an honorable mention. Though speaking of that, let’s also deal with… (Dis)Honorable Mention: Darth Vader and the Inquisitors Anakin Skywalker’s first act as Darth Vader was to follow Palpatine’s orders and personally take part in Order 66… but yes, before he turned murderous traitor, he was a remarkable Jedi. And we should also acknowledge all those who ended up joining the ranks of Vader’s vicious Inquisitors, who then hunted down and executed their own fellow Jedi survivors. Some, like the Grand Inquisitor, seemed eager to help; Barriss Offee and the Thirteenth Sister (Iskat Akaris) had grown disillusioned with the Jedi Council and what they saw as that group’s corruption; the Second Sister (Trilla Suduri) and the Ninth Sister (Masana Tide) were tortured into submission; and the Third Sister (Reva) planned to eventually get revenge on Vader for killing her fellow Jedi younglings, even as the exact reasonings for several others to join up remains unknown. But whether they were Inquisitors only briefly or for years, they spent time participating in some notably dark and brutal acts. …Ok, maybe not Barriss so much. She seemed to leave pretty quickly, really. 10. Gungi Sometimes adorableness gets you extra points. Because sure, we could have chosen former Jedi Council members like Oppo Rancisis or Eeth Koth for this tenth slot, given they also survived Order 66 (at least for a while), but in the end we had to go with the Padawan known as Gungi. Because look at this dude - he’s a young wookiee with a lightsaber! That power is undeniable. Gungi was introduced on Star Wars: The Clone Wars as part of a group of young Padawan during a storyline that once was envisioned as a potential Young Jedi spinoff. Then, on Star Wars: The Bad Batch – set in the immediate aftermath of Order 66 – we learned he had somehow survived, though sadly it’s not likely his Padawan friends could say the same. We last saw Gungi back on Kashyyyk, joining a new tribe who fought alongside him after he discovered his original tribe had tragically been killed by Trandoshans. 9. Jocastu Nu “Jedi Librarian” isn’t exactly the most intimidating title, and the Chief Librarian of the Jedi Archives was introduced in Attack of the Clones in a fairly annoying fashion, representing the arrogance of the Prequel-era Jedi through her insistence that "If an item does not appear in our records, it does not exist!” (Spoiler alert: She was wrong.) Still, this massive faux pas aside, she was in fact an incredibly knowledgeable Jedi who also had access to secrets about the Jedi and the Force no one else did - which is why Palpatine actually wanted her brought in alive when it was discovered she survived Order 66. Ultimately, she was instead killed by Darth Vader, in an early, secret act of defiance against his Sith Master, after she told Vader she knew he was actually Anakin Slklywalker and that Palpatine would use her information to find and corrupt more Force-sensitive children to the Dark Side. Years later, Anakin’s son, Luke, would gather information Jocasta collected as he attempted to rebuild the Jedi Order. 8. Quinlan Vos Existing on the periphery of the Prequel trilogy – he’s glimpsed as a background character on Tatooine in The Phantom Menace and name-dropped by Obi-Wan in Revenge of the Sith – Quinlan Vos first got a lot more focus in Star Wars Legends stories that were not canon. However, we would then get a better idea of the true history of the character from Star Wars: The Clone Wars and other stories, as we learned he was a Jedi who often dealt with the criminal underworld, such as the Hutts and Cad Bane. From becoming the lover of Asajj Ventress to temporarily being turned to the Dark Side of the Force by Count Dooku, Vos lived an eclectic life - and then managed to narrowly avoid being killed when the Clone Troopers turned on the Jedi while he fought alongside them on Kashyyyk, though he was wounded in the process. Whether he made it to the era of the Original Trilogy is unknown, but Vos was at least around for several more years, with Obi-Wan Kenobi eventually finding his name amongst other surviving Jedi and Force sensitive beings who had joined and used the secret network known as the Hidden Path to stay safe during the time of the Empire. 7. Baylan Skoll Though the most recently-introduced character on this list, with many details we don’t know about him as yet, there are a lot of intriguing elements to former Jedi Knight Baylan Skoll. Skoll has a decidedly world-weary demeanor, recalling Order 66 by explaining “I watched everything I knew burn,” and noting he came to believe that the fall of the Jedi and rise of the Empire were simply the latest iteration of history continually repeating itself. Though we don’t know how exactly he survived Order 66, Skoll neither stayed on a righteous path nor seemed to actually turn to the Dark Side, as others like the Inquisitors appeared to. Instead, he used his Jedi skills as a mercenary for hire, and eventually took on an apprentice, Shin Hati. The actor who originated the role of Skoll, the great Ray Stevenson, has sadly passed away since filming Ahsoka Season 1, but the character will return in Season 2, now played by Game of Thrones’ Rory McCann - and perhaps we will learn more of his backstory in the process. 6. Caleb Dume / Kanan Jarus Padawan to the Jedi Depa Billaba when Order 66 began, Caleb Dume was unable to save his Master’s life, but managed to survive himself thanks to some assistance from Clone Force 99, aka the Bad Batch. Going on the run across the galaxy, Dume changed his identity to Kanan Jarus, and for a long time, forsook all of his Jedi ways. Eventually though, he decided to begin fighting against the Empire, joining with the group of heroes at the center of the animated series Star Wars Rebels, where he passed on his knowledge of the Force to young Ezra Bridger, even though Kanan had never completed his own time as a Padawan. Their adventures would eventually lead Kanan and his fellow crew members on the Ghost to fully join the growing Rebel Alliance, but Kanan’s sacrifices would be many along the way, as he first lost his eyesight in a battle with Maul and then lost his life to protect his friends. But Kanan’s legacy carries on both through his apprentice Ezra, and through Kanan and Rebel pilot Hera Syndulla’s son Jacen. 5. Grogu The mega-cute, oh-so merchandise-friendly, breakout character from The Mandalorian, Grogu was introduced as a baby in the post-Return of the Jedi era of Star Wars, eventually becoming the adopted son to Din Djarin. However, due to his mysterious species’ notably long lifespan, it turns out being a baby is a decades-long process for Grogu, which is why it made sense that he had in fact been a Jedi Initiate who was present at the Jedi Temple the night Order 66 occurred. In Grogu’s case, another Order 66 survivor, Ahmed Best’s Kelleran Beq (whose ultimate fate is unknown), was able to get him away from Coruscant in the midst of the Jedi massacre. Despite his (relatively) young age and toddler-like demeanor, Grogu is clearly innately strong in the Force to a notably impressive degree, already capable of levitating large objects and even using Force healing abilities. All of which insinuates that when he finally grows up, he has the capacity to be as powerful as another well known member of his species we’ll be talking about more below. 4. Cal Ketis The protagonist of the games Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Padawan Cal Ketis had a similar background to Kanan in that he and his Jedi Master were away from Coruscant when Order 66 was declared, with Cal making it to safety while his Master did not. Though he also went into hiding in the aftermath, Cal ended up on the radar of the Inquisitors, which sent him on a journey that led him to take an active role against the Empire much sooner than Kanan did. A notably skilled lightsaber combatant, Cal also stands out for attempting to rebuild the Jedi Order far earlier than others like Luke Skywalker would. From teaming with the militant Saw Gerrera to assisting the Hidden Path in protecting other Jedi and Force-sensitive survivors, to making it through an encounter with Darth Vader himself, Cal kept plenty busy during the reign of the Empire - though it’s not yet known what his final fate is or if he was still around by the time of the Battle of Yavin. 3. Ahsoka Tano Yes, she technically left the Jedi Order and would even go on to memorably declare “I am no Jedi,” but Ahsoka Tano’s skill and courage sure mark her as a great Jedi, even if she wasn’t calling herself that any longer. The Padawan of Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka was a big part of the Clone Wars (the war) and a big part of The Clone Wars (the series), as we saw her grow from a sarcastic teenager into a confident and centered young woman who fought with honor in many notable battles. Eventually though, she felt compelled to leave the Jedi after they tried her for a crime she did not commit, even after they attempted to bring her back into the fold with their version of “Our bad.” Reunited with her Clone Trooper friends as the war was coming to an end, her Jedi status in their eyes was clear when Order 66 was declared, as those same Clone Troopers then attempted to kill her. She would survive, though it pained her to do so at the expense of men she had fought alongside for so long. Helping the burgeoning Rebel Alliance through the years that followed, Ahsoka would make it through the Galactic Civil War, with her current adventures, on her own live-action series, now bringing both her and her apprentice, Sabine Wren, to an entirely different galaxy far, far away from the one she’s known. 2. Obi-Wan Kenobi The former Padawan of Qui-Gon Jinn and a hero of the Clone Wars, Obi-Wan’s adventures and accomplishments are many, though it’s his relationship with Anakin Skywalker that would perhaps define him, for better or worse. As Anakin’s Master, Obi-Wan did all he could to impart wisdom and knowledge to his Padawan, only to see him fall to the Dark Side and become Darth Vader. Offworld when Order 66 was declared, Obi-Wan managed to escape when his Clone Troopers, led by Commander Cody, turned on him. He would go on to confront Darth Vader on Mustafar, winning their battle and leaving his former friend and surrogate brother horribly maimed yet still breathing. While he spent most of the next two decades quietly watching over Luke Skywalker on Tatooine, he would temporarily leave the planet to protect Luke’s sister, Leia Organa, which in turn brought him into conflict with Vader again. And while their third and final lightsaber battle, onboard the Death Star, would end in Obi-Wan’s death, he had already begun Luke’s Jedi training at that point. This set Luke on a path towards redeeming Vader and ending the reign of the Empire, with Obi-Wan’s Force Ghost sometimes appearing along the way to give Luke guidance. 1. Yoda Arguably the most powerful Jedi we’ve ever seen, the diminutive and thoughtful Yoda is not one to make a show of just what he’s capable of accomplishing unless he has to. But it was clear he was someone of great wisdom and knowledge from the moment Luke met him on Dagobah – after he drops his funny “I’m just a weird swamp creature” bit with Luke that is – who is able to feel and tap into the Force in a way that is deeply profound. Is his mysterious race innately tied to the Force? Given the only three we’ve met who represent these beings – Yoda, Yaddle and Grogu – are powerful in the Force, it seems possible. As we finally saw during the Prequels, Yoda could both duel with a lightsaber and harness the Force and its abilities like few others - even deflecting Force Lightning when the formidable likes of Anakin and Obi-Wan were incapable of doing so. This was why the Clone Troopers who tried to take him down on Kashyyyk when Order 66 was declared truly stood no chance. Come on, Clones… this is freaking Yoda! Confronting an opponent unlike any other when he battled Emperor Palpatine soon after, Yoda survived that battle but was forced into hiding, deciding caution was the best approach for the time being and with so few Jedi now left alive. After years alone on Dagobah, Yoda would finally be joined by Luke Skywalker, giving Anakin’s son the crucial training he needed to eventually become a Jedi himself. Though Yoda’s hundreds of years of life finally came to an end shortly before the Galactic Civil War came to its conclusion, he would still maintain a presence as a Force Ghost - even returning to give an older Luke one more bit of sage advice decades later. Who do you think the most noteworthy survivor of Order 66 is? Let’s discuss in the comments. And vote in our poll above!

A new Star Citizen update introduces an extra item that players of the space game can use to adjust the performance of their ships. Flight blades are currently purchasable for real money and, in the words of Star Citizen's developer Cloud Imperium, allow a user to" fine-tune the behavior of [their] ship to align with how [they] fly, fight, and operate." The studio, which has already raised upwards of $800 million in crowdfunding for Star Citizen, explains that flight blades will eventually be obtainable using the game's virtual, in-world currency. But as of right now, they can only be bought with real money, and the perceived advantage they provide has catalyzed a sharp backlash from Star Citizen players. Read the rest of the story...

Roblox Skinwalkers is all about defending your town against monsters disguised as humans during the day and rushing you by night. Besides bullets being the most important, the meta is knowing which are the best tools to buy and use with your Bonds and cash. Here's my Skinwalkers tier list for classes, weapons, and items. Table of contentsSkinwalkers Class, Weapon and Item Tier ListS-TierA-TierB-TierC-TierD-TierSkinwalkers Class, Weapon and Item Tier List Image by Destructoid The most important aspect by which I'm judging the best weapons, items and classes in Skinwalkers is Bond and cash value. Managing your resources to kill as many Skinwalkers while keeping your team healthy and stocked with cash is the goal of this tier list. S-Tier and A-Tier are must haves, whereas B-Tier and lower are either beginner options, very situational, or more-or-less quite weak. Note that classes and items are compared within their own category, they're in the same tier list just for easier browsing. I'll go in detail on every entry on this list below explaining why it's ranked the way it is. S-TierClass/Weapon/ItemCostRanking Explanation Enginner Class250 BondsThis is easily the best class in the game because it both provides you with the best value of $5000 cash for the Sentry Turret and the turret is actually amazing at killing stray Skinwalkers. I would play the Enginner and place it near your gate so that it can catch any Skinwalkers you missed. It will prioritize Skinwalkers and deals decent damage. Crucifix$777 or 2 BondsThe Crucifix in Skinwalkers is the best item in the game that you can buy providing the best value. You place it down like a turret and it automatically detects and kills any nearby Skinwalkers. Once it kills 10 it disappears. The only downside is the shorter range than the Sentry Turret but you can just place it near the gate if you can't walk to the middle of the bridge. Sentry Turret$5000 or 10 BondsWhile it's pricey and requires solo play, duo coordination, or chat/voicechat in a larger group to buy it's the best value you can get for cash. It's even better than the Machine Gun. See Enginner for tips.A-TierClass/Weapon/ItemCostRanking Explanation Grappler Class100 BondsThis class is actually amazing because you can use the grappling hook to quickly dash to Skinwalker corpses to pick them up with the bag and then swiftly return to town to sell them. Essentially you're saving a ton of time walking and time is money in this game. The more money you can gather in the fastest way the faster you can buy better items so this is a long term class as opposed to Doctor or Priest who offer short term benefits. I would get this Skinwalkers class first. Bandage$150 or 1 BondThis is the second-best item in the game, especially when you're playing with randoms who die a lot. Always have at least one or two in your inventory for when s*** hits the fan. You can easily die during the night when Skinwalkers rush you. The best part is that this is really cheap so always have some handy. Energy Drink$75 or 1 BondLike with the Grappler Class, this offers a similar value where time is money and the faster you can retrieve and sell Skinwalker corpses the better. I would always have 1 Energy Drink before Night comes so that you can pick up and sell corpses fast. Time Stop$300 or 3 BondsThis is in A-Tier because you need quite a bit of money and coordination to make it reliably work and spam it. If you have a good team or are on voice comms with people who can manage their cash and activation time well this is S-Tier. In public games with randoms it's awkward to use so it can be B-Tier.B-TierClass/Weapon/ItemCostRanking Explanation Machine Gun$10.000 or 50 BondsThe Machine Gun is a decent alternative to the Sniper and sometimes better since you can spend less ammo killing Skinwalkers to save money. It also helps in hordes so the higher DPS really helps. However, it's in B-Tier because 10k cash is just almost impossible to gather in public games where you're not coordinating on voice chat. It's just too expensive and is ultimately an economy move and situational. Snapper$150 or 1 BondThese are pretty decent since they can trap and isolate Skinwalkers for crowdcontrol. They're also decent value since you get 5. Worse than Crucifix for sure but helps you control a horde. I would place them around the middle of a bridge in chokepoints because it's the best mix of easy to reach and prime time to trap stray Skinwalkers. Scout Class50 BondsThis isn't a must-have class but it does help for beginners to spot the true form of Nightwalkers during the night. Especially later so that you can headshot them more easily when they're much more numerous. Priest50 BondsThis is one of those mid-tier okay Classes since you get the best item in the game but you only get it once. So you save 777$ each game for something quite useful. B-Tier is perfect for Priest.C-TierClass/Weapon/ItemCostRanking Explanation Doctor Class30 BondsThis is an okay Class to get since it's cheap and everyone needs Bandages and you get $450 cash of value each match since Bandages are $150. It's just not that strong in the late-game since you'll be stocking up on bandages anyway and you'll use the three from this Class by then. Whereas Engineer and Grappler provide a full game benefit. Scientist Class75 BondsWould be better if you got less Anti-Skinwalkers but you get them each wave. As it stands it's just a money save class to get some extra Anti-Skinwalkers which isn't that strong since with time you'll easily spot Skinwalkers anyway. Anti-Skinwalkers$210 or 1 BondSame as Scientist since you'll learn how to spot Skinwalkers well overtime anyway so you'll need these less and less. Great for beginners though.D-TierClass/Weapon/ItemCostRanking Explanation A. I. Scope$350 or 2 BondsA beginner item that helps you spot Skinwalkers if you're not sure. Becomes almost useless once you play the game for a bit and get used to it. That's it for my Skinwalkers tier list of all classes, weapons and items. Check out our Roblox tag for more guides.
