After all the rumors, it's finally official. Halo: Campaign Evolved is a full, Unreal Engine 5 remake of the original tale that started it all. And yes, it's coming to PlayStation as well, in a relatively unsurprising move that still makes my brain feel a little funny. But Halo Studios (the rebranded 343 Industries) is making plenty of changes "to create a new experience that balances nostalgia with the expectations of today's gamers." That means adjustments to the likes of its most notorious level, The Library, along with features such as sprinting and the ability to pick up more enemy weapons. Read the rest of the story...

Floor 2 of Level 5 in Escape the Backrooms can be one of the most dangerous locations to escape, and you can do so by obtaining secret codes. This particular level has two difficult entities that you'll have to survive. However, you'll also need to use the code at the correct door to escape to the next level. This guide will provide you with all the essential information that you'll need to escape the floor. Table of contentsHow to escape Floor 2 Level 5 in Escape the BackroomsHow to defeat the Hound and Skinstealer in Escape the BackroomsHow to escape Floor 2 Level 5 in Escape the Backrooms Floor 2 of Level 5 contains several rooms that you'll have to investigate to find the required code. However, you can also end up encountering the Skinstealer and Hound. Both of them are powerful entities, so it's best to avoid them as much as possible. First, you'll come across a massive safe box with seven open spaces.Every open box will have a room number, which will be random.You'll have to go to the rooms that are mentioned and look for letters.However, the rooms can also contain the Skinstealer and Hound.Once you have all the letters, go back to the starting safe box.

It will be one of the three following codes. 894720593817564Once you have the revealed code, head to Room 235. You'll find a padlock to enter the code. However, you'll also have to bear with the Skinstealer. Screenshot via Fancy Games How to defeat the Hound and Skinstealer in Escape the Backrooms The Hound is relatively easy to tackle. You'll have to flash and blink at it three times, which will make it retreat. Once you manage to escape the Hound, it won't appear again. The same can't be said about the Skinstealer. The Skinstealer becomes far more aggressive when you obtain the code. The only way to defeat it is to escape to the next room and close the door. Like our content?

If you want to reach the final checkpoint in RV There Yet, having Antidotes and EpiPens in your stock will be crucial. Both items are medical goods that you can find on your journey across the wild terrain and different checkpoints. However, their respective supplies will be limited. In simple words, you won't want to waste them and use them carefully. This guide will help you understand how the two items work to help your survival. Table of contentsHow to use Antidote in RV There YetHow to use the EpiPen in RV There YetHow to use Antidote in RV There Yet The Antidote is your best friend when you get poisoned. If you're not careful, you could end up getting a snake bite. Yes, there are snakes in RV There Yet, and they can get to you while you're looking at different places for various resources. Getting a snake bite will result in you getting poisoned. The only way to help yourself (or your friend) is to use an Antidote. That will cure you/your buddy from the poisoned state, and continue on your journey. If you don't have an Antidote, having the poisoned status will eventually cause you to collapse. That's where the EpiPen comes in. How to use the EpiPen in RV There Yet Screenshot by Destructoid The EpiPen is your ultimate tool to bring someone back from the dead (or prevent them from dying in the first place). If your friend collapses, you can go close to them and use the EpiPen (if you have one in stock) to bring them back to life. Using the EpiPen also resets all forms of negative afflictions. However, this item is scarce, and I have never managed to find one outside the starting tent. Hence, you should always use EpiPens sparingly and in dire situations. If you have enough, make sure to supply every party member with one for unforeseen situations. In RV There Yet, your RV can also run into trouble if you're not careful with the steering wheel. If you are running into issues, you can use motor oil to get out of the pickle. Like our content?
