Report: Call of Duty: WWII DLC 3 Info Unearthed Reveals 13 New Weapons, Commando Division & More

by Alex Co

April 19, 2018 8:10 pm in News

While the second expansion to Call of Duty: WWII titled “War Machine” just made its way to the PS4 this month, it seems details regarding the third expansion have already leaked out thanks to people mining the data files. COD WW2 DLC 3 will have a new Division, a bunch of new weapons, a new War mode map and more.

Thanks to Reddit user LackingAGoodGame, you can check out the weapons and other stuff that was added to the game via the latest patch. Note that with other mined info, nothing here is set in stone just yet, and some weapons might be changed or removed at the last minute.

13 New Weapons, Commando Division, DLC3 War Map, and more coming to WWII
byu/LackingAGoodName inWWII

In case you can’t see the Reddit post, it reads:

New Weapons

All of the following Weapon entries were added with the latest patch, none of which were present in the game’s source until this point. 3 Rifles, 5 SMGs, 2 LMGs, 2 Snipers (Hi Jev), and 1 Melee. Information present in maps/mp/inline/weaponguids.gsh.

KGM21_MP
ZK383_MP
AUSTEN_MP
BECHOWIEC_MP
BLYSKAWICA_MP
EMP44_MP
MOSIN_MP
PTRS41_MP
DELISLE_MP
CARCANO_MP
SWORD_MP
RIBEYROLLES_MP
CHATELLEROULT_MP

Commando Division

Despite my previous post detailing the Grenadier Division – majority of which was spread across the recent Divisions Overhaul; the presence of the aforementioned Commando Division has becoming increasingly apparent after the latest Patch, however the Division still seems to be a work in progress, all information is subject to change. On a personal note, this seems extremely powerful, it may be that each Skill will be split into separate Basic Training’s? Information present in maps/mp/inline/divisions.gsh.

Specialist Basic Training’s
- 3 Tiers of Basic Training’s awarded after the required amount of Kills. Unknown if player-chosen or preset Basic Training’s.
- Basic Training 1: 5 Kills
- Basic Training 2: 10 Kills
- Basic Training 3: 15 Kills
Increased Explosive Damage Resistance per Crouch/Prone Kill:
- +2% Explosive Damage Resistance per Kill
- 3 Tiers of Explosive Damage Resistance: Bronze, Silver, Gold. Increasing a Tier is +10% Explosive Damage Resistance.
- Bronze: 1 Kill (12% Reduction)
- Silver: 8 Kills (26% Reduction)
- Gold: 15 Kills (40% Reduction)
- Max Explosive Damage Resistance is 99% (35 Kills).
Increased Sprint Speed per Hipfire Kill:
- +0.2% Sprint Speed per Hipfire Kill
- 3 Tiers of Sprint Speed Increase: Bronze, Silver, Gold. Increasing a Tier is +2% Sprint Speed.
- Bronze: 1 Kill (+2.2% Sprint Speed)
- Silver: 10 Kills (+4% Sprint Speed)
- Gold: 25 Kills (+7% Sprint Speed)
- Max Sprint Speed increase is 25% (119 Kills).
Decreased Recoil per Headshot Kill:
- -1% Recoil per Headshot Kill
- 3 Tiers of Recoil Reduction: Bronze, Silver, Gold. Increasing a Tier is -5% Recoil.
- Bronze: 1 Kill (-6% Recoil)
- Silver: 10 Kills (-15% Recoil)
- Gold: 20 Kills (-35% Recoil)
- Max Recoil Reduction is 90% (75 Kills).

DLC3 War Map

The DLC3 War Map will take place in Tunisia, North Africa. All information is subject to change. Information present in maps/mp/raidobjectives/mp_raid_dlc3_objectives.csv.

Objectives (Placeholder)

Capture a Flag
Hold a Hardpoint
Destroy an objective

Face Camos

Information present in mp/ddl/costumes.ddl.

Added to the data structure containing Heads and Helmets for your Soldier is Face Camos. There is currently no other information regarding these.

Chrome Tiger Camo

Information present in mp/unlocktable.csv.

Despite being present in the game since the Beta Build, the Chrome Tiger Camo is now seemingly obtainable after the latest Patch which also added the Gold Cheetah and Leopard Camos. Logically we can assume unlocking the Gold Cheetah/Leopard Camos on all weapons will unlock the Chrome Tiger Camo, however I have no data to prove this.

While nothing’s confirmed just yet, the info mined so far seems to line up with Call of Duty: WWII’s past expansions. In the meantime, go check out the Blitzkrieg community event currently on-going for COD WW2 right now.

Rumor: Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Multiplayer Said to Be Similar to Overwatch

by Alex Co

7:17 pm in News

Following news that Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 won’t have a traditional single-player campaign and will, instead, have a reported battle royale mode, more Black Ops 4 multiplayer info has come to light, and it paints a vastly different picture than what franchise fans are used to.

Twitter user Matt Harris who seems to have a lot of info regarding Treyarch’s upcoming game, has spoken out, and has revealed a ton of info regarding Black Ops 4, the reported battle royale mode, and even Activision’s corporate doings. Normally, we don’t report on random people’s tweets, but credible Call of Duty site CharlieIntel corroborated some of the info, which leads us to believe that some of the stuff mentioned are legit.

First off, the leak states that the Black Ops 4 multiplayer experience is similar to Blizzard’s Overwatch, which, according to CharlieIntel “lines up” with the info they’ve heard as well. If you’re shocked by this, don’t forget, the game is in active development and as such, things are constantly being changed. Treyarch has reportedly backpedaled on many of the Overwatch-like elements that were in development for Black Ops 4 after initial play testing didn’t go over so well.

Further more, the leak also states that there are some similar elements to Black Ops 4 and with LawBreakers –which in itself was kind of similar to Overwatch. The leak mentions that Black Ops 4 features a mixture of boots on the ground and advanced movements with “many changes to the franchise’s core systems,” like a new killstreak-based system, hero abilities (which are similar to Black Ops 3’s Specialists) and more. Check out the full leaked info regarding multiplayer below.

“New Multiplayer information has been confirmed by more than one source so I can now talk about that more publicly. As of two days ago Multiplayer was in the worst state you have ever seen a Call of Duty multiplayer mode. Sources who have play-tested the mode claim that it is less like a call of duty mode and more like a Call of Duty Overwatch or a Call of Duty Lawbreakers. The Lawbreakers reference is incredibly apt considering what he told me next. Remember how I said the game was simultaneously boots on the ground and advanced movement? Well I can elaborate on that a little more too. The game was going to take the “hero” or “specialist” system from Black Ops 3 and take it to the next level. Perks were basically removed completely, and had instead been morphed into a strange kind of Kill Streak. Normal Killstreaks as we know them, for example harrier jets or chopper gunners, didn’t in fact exist in this version of Black Ops 4. Instead you got highly powerful perks. One of which was a Movement Alteration. It literally changed your movement from Boots on The Ground to something very strongly resembling Black Ops 3’s advanced movement systems.

This fell flat with playtesters. They didn’t like it at all. It was deemed an unfair portrayal of Call of Duty, and something that wouldn’t resonate with fans in the slightest. So, as of the last play test, things are changing. Actual Killstreaks are being entered into the game and the hero systems are being scaled back a little bit. What this does mean is that the game is in fact beginning to resemble more and more the state of the game in Black Ops 3. What this means for the future of BO4 I do not know. Currently my information does not stretch to what the mode will become, only to what it very recently was. With the community reveal only weeks away I am truly concerned for Call of Duty Black Ops 4, and even more concerned for Treyarch as a development studio. This is tighter than it has ever been.”

Note that these should all be taken as rumors until verified or debunked by Activision. We’ve reached out to Activision to ask for a statement and will reply if and when we get a response.

With Black Ops 4’s reveal less than a month away, it seems franchise fans will be in for a shock very soon.

Battlefield 1 Free Map “Rupture” Now Available to All, Monthly Updates to Continue Until June 2018

by Alex Co

6:02 pm in News

While DICE has already released the last Battlefield 1 expansion named “Apocalypse,” that doesn’t mean the game won’t be supported. In a new post on the official website, DICE announced the future plans for BF1, and that includes a Battlefield 1 free map and mode!

Starting today, all Battlefield 1 players will be able to play the Rupture map form the They Shall Not Pass expansion for free! If that’s not enough, a new game mode called “Shock Operations” will be made available this June to all players. It’ll be a 40-player match, which sees attackers and defenders fighting over sectors like in your usual Operations map, but for this mode, it’ll be for one single map, which means each match will considerably be shorter than Operations.

Shock Operations will be playable on five maps: Giant’s Shadow, Prise de Tahure, Lupkow Pass, Zeebrugge, and River Somme. Anyone can play Shock Operations on these maps even those who don’t own Battlefield 1 Premium.

Finally, DICE has mentioned that monthly updates for Battlefield 1 will continue until June 2018, where players can expect bug fixes, balance changes and even fresh content.

With EA set to announce a new Battlefield game due later this year, this is the beginning of the end for Battlefield 1, but man, what a ride it’s been, right?

Monster Hunter World Update 3.00 Stampedes Out, Here’s the Full Patch Notes

by Alex Co

3:42 am in News

Monster Hunter World is the gift that keeps on giving! Capcom has rolled out Monster Hunter World update 3.00, and as previously mentioned, it adds a new Elder Dragon, new quests, new loot, a ton of bug fixes and more!

Clocking in at approximately 1.2GB on both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions, the full Monster Hunter World update 3.00 patch notes and additions can be read below.

New Monster: Kulve Taroth

An elder dragon that protects itself with a glittering coat of metal. Its ecology and coat differ with each sighting, thus requiring more thorough investigation.

New Locale: The Caverns of El Dorado

The Caverns of El Dorado are a peculiar network of caverns shaped and influenced both by the Everstream and the minerals that Kulve Taroth has collected over the years. Kulve Taroth’s nesting ground—as yet undiscovered—is rumored to rest within the deepest region of the caverns, from which tremendous geothermal energies seem to emanate.

Armor Set: Kulve Taroth a

Armor Set: Kulve Taroth b

Palico: Kulve Taroth Set a

Major Additions and Changes:

An Interface menu and an option called HUD/Help Text Size have been added under the Options menu on the title screen. You can now adjust HUD text size to be larger than the default size.
To go along with this new option, the “Subtitle Text Size” option added in PS4 Ver 2.00/Xbox One 2.0.0.0 has been moved from the in-game options menu to the title screen options menu.
A feature to sort investigations has been added to the Manage Investigations screen.
You can now sell all Trade-in Items at once when selling items.
Pressing the Square button on PS4 or X button on Xbox One allows you to switch between the Decoration name and Skill name when setting decorations.
You can now preview armor at the Smithy even with Layered Armor equipped.
An update has been made to squad management so players who haven’t logged in for 30 days aren’t automatically kicked from the squad.
A tweak has been made so the camera is not forced to follow an active Scoutfly trail when fast traveling or returning to camp after fainting.
You can now cultivate Ivy at Botanical Research.
If a field researcher with important dialogue is present during an Expedition, an exclamation mark (!) will be displayed beside that character’s name on the World Map when departing.
The Search Via Play History description text has been reworded to be easier to understand. The function itself has not changed.
Previous: Search for an Online Session that you joined based on your play history.
Now: Search for an Online Session based on your play history.
(Cannot find a previous met player if they’ve left the Online Session.)
Flash Pod effectiveness against Tempered Monsters will gradually decline after multiple uses, and will cease to have any effect at all after a certain point.
To coincide with the Tempered Monster’s increased resistance to flash pods, the special rewards from Tempered Monster Investigations have been reworked to produce better results.
Threat Level 1 Special Rewards will now produce Warped Feystones.
Threat Level 2 Special Rewards will now produce Shining Streamstones.
Threat Level 3 Special Rewards will produce Shining Streamstones more frequently.

Bug Fixes:

Notice and Apology Regarding Guild Card Lighting

Due to updating the Guild Card lighting system when adding new poses during update PS4 Ver. 2.00/Xbox One Ver. 2.0.0.0, the lighting for existing poses were affected and player’s appearance on their Guild Cards underwent a change. We are preparing a fix that will be part of an update in the future so the lighting will be same as before PS4 Ver. 2.00/Xbox One Ver. 2.0.0.0. We appreciate your patience regarding this issue.

A bug has been fixed where the Jump Master skill would not activate during the beginning of the Vaulting Dance animation after a Jumping Advancing Slash or Strong Jumping Advancing Slash connect. The player will no longer go into a mid-air knockback animation.
A bug has been fixed where players would not recover from Defense Down status even when gaining a Defense Up buff from a Hunting Horn melody.
A bug has been fixed where during PS4 Ver 2.00/Xbox One 2.0.0.0, when the Self-Improvement Encore buff would add Attack Up for the player using the Hunting Horn, the Self-Improvement Encore message would not display “Attack Up + Deflected Attack Prevention”. The effect itself has not changed.
A bug has been fixed where your bait wouldn’t be consumed if you failed to reel in a giant creature.
A bug has been fixed where the Free Meal skill wouldn’t apply to Mushrooms you can eat via the Mushroomancer skill. Now when the Free Meal skill is active, Mushrooms will not be consumed when used.
A bug has been fixed where the lock-on cursor would target the space in front of Teostra’s face instead of the actual face when aiming the Slinger. The cursor will now lock onto Teostra’s face properly.
A bug has been fixed that caused Mining Outcrop points to not increase during High Rank quests and expeditions in all locales despite the environment info indicating that they are in upsurge.
A bug has been fixed to adjust the amount of Nitroshrooms harvested when using fertilizer. It has been adjusted to the following.
No Fertilizer: 2
Fungi Harvest Up (S): 2+2
Fungi Harvest Up (L): 2+6
In Ecological Research, there was a mistake in the level display for monsters found only in high rank that have a maximum of 4 levels of research. The following changes have been made to their monster field guide entries.

Research Level: Current Research Bonuses

Before:

Level 0: Monster Field Guide Level 1 (Ecology)
Level 1: Monster Field Guide Level 1 (Scoutfly Bonus only)
Level 2: Monster Field Guide Level 2 (Physiology)
Level 3: Monster Field Guide Level 3 (High Rank Reward page added)
Level 4: Monster Field Guide Level 4 (High Rank Reward rare materials and drop rates displayed)

Fixed:

Level 0: Monster Field Guide Level 1 (Ecology)
Level 1: Monster Field Guide Level 2 (Physiology)
Level 2: Monster Field Guide Level 3 (High Rank Reward page added)
Level 3: Monster Field Guide Level 4 (High Rank Reward rare materials and drop rates displayed)
Level 4: Monster Field Guide Level 4 (High Rank Reward rare materials and drop rates displayed)

Research Level: Next Level

Before:

Level 1: Habitat Info Added
Level 2: Material Info Added
Level 3: Rare Material Info Added
Level 4: N/A

Fixed:

Level 0: Ecology
Level 1: Material Info Added
Level 2: Rare Material Info Added
Level 3: N/A
Level 4: N/A
A bug was fixed where the Charge Blade move “Sword: Sliding Slash” was displayed as “Advancing Slash” while in the Training Area.
A bug was fixed where the Gajau was classified as a Piscine Wyvern in the Monster Field Guide. It has been changed to its correct classification as Fish.
In French, the Dragon Jewel 1 decoration had the same name as the Bow’s Dragon Piercer move. The decoration has been renamed to the following. If you have a Dragon Jewel 1 decoration in your possession, please be aware that your decoration has not been removed, but simply renamed.

Before:

Joyau perce-dragon[1]

After:

Joyau tueur de dragon[1]
Description text for the following three trophies/achievements have been updated, as previous translations had the term giant crowns instead of making a distinction between gold and silver crowns. This fix is for all languages except Japanese and Traditional Chinese.

Giant Crown
Giant Crown Collector
Giant Crown Master

Whew! That’s a lot, no? Enjoy the new content, hunters! Stay tuned for more Monster Hunter World news here on MP1st!

Report: Battlefield V Battle Royale Protoype Being Worked on by DICE

by Alex Co

April 18, 2018 9:44 pm in News

With news surfacing that Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 will have a battle royale mode at launch, it seems EA’s Battlefield franchise might be following suit. According to a new report by VentureBeat, which also leaked the existence that this year’s Battlefield game will be titled “Battlefield V,” a prototype Battlefield V battle royale mode is being tested by the studio!

Now, before anyone jumps to conclusions, the same report mentions that DICE hasn’t exactly approved or confirmed this Battlefield battle royale mode into the game just yet, and as mentioned, is in the prototype stage for now. Additionally, it also states that even if the studio is happy with what it has so far, it won’t be ready in time for the game’s launch.

Will we see Battlefield V Battle Royale as a free title update? Given how DICE has handled past titles in the series post-launch, I wouldn’t be surprised to see this as a free title update or something part of Battlefield Premium.

EA has declined to comment regarding this report, but once we know more, we’ll be sure to let people know.

If there ever was a franchise that could theoretically handle battle royale or adapt to it easily, it could very well be the Battlefield franchise given its expansive levels, destructible environments and so on.

Would you want to see Battlefield Battle Royale? Or should DICE focus on the core experience and not deviate from what has made the franchise successful?

Report: Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Battle Royale Mode in Development

by Alex Co

7:47 pm in News

With yesterday’s big unconfirmed news that Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 won’t have a traditional single-player campaign, some franchise fans might be wondering what’ll replace the mode. Well, it seems we now know what.

Multiple reports have cropped up overnight stating that a Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Battle Royale mode will be part of the game when it ships this October! The news first came to light via reliable Call of Duty leaker CharlieIntel who mentioned that the Black Ops 4 Battle Royale mode is being developed by Raven Software, who some might know as the studio that made Modern Warfare Remastered, along with helping out in other Call of Duty expansions.

Further reports have made their way online, with Eurogamer’s sources also saying the same thing: there will be no full-fledged campaign, but a Black Ops 4 Battle Royale mode is indeed being worked on. What’s more, while the Black Ops 4 version of the popular mode might not hit the 100-player mark from the get-go, the developers are said to be “working towards that number.” Note that game development is an ever-changing scenario, so some of the info here could be a work-in-progress, or scrapped altogether.

Just to further hammer the point across, Kotaku has multiple sources who corroborated that Black Ops 4 won’t have a traditional campaign as well. Given Activision has been adamant that it doesn’t want to comment on the on-going rumors and such, we’ll have to wait until May 17 when the Black Ops 4 official reveal will take place to know more.

Given the success of games like PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) and Fortnite, it’s not that surprising to see the Call of Duty franchise dip its toes in the battle royale pool. Whether it’ll be successful is another story though.

Do you think this Black Ops 4 Battle Royale mode can and will replace the traditional multiplayer mode of the franchise? Are you OK with having this instead of a traditional campaign?

Epic Games Plans to Fix Fortnite Guided Missiles, Peeking & Weapon Swapping

by James Fleming

12:02 pm in News

Epic Games has detailed changes coming to the Fortnite guided missile, peeking, and weapon swapping. Confirmed Fortnite developer “EpicEricSW” posted the following details on the game’s official subreddit.

Fortnite Future Updates:

We’ve seen a lot of productive discussions recently and want to provide clarity around the recent changes!

Peeking

In v3.4, we identified an unintended behavior with shooting that affected a small number of players. However, when implementing a fix in v3.5, we unintentionally introduced a bug around peeking over structures and edges. The result of this issue is that you would accidentally end up shooting your own structures. We will be rolling back this change in v3.5.2 this week, and we’ll be taking a little more time to evaluate how we fix the original issue.

Weapon Swapping

We recently introduced weapon equip times. This change was geared towards balancing quick switching between different weapons with low rate of fire (effectively bypassing the drawbacks that make these weapons fair).
After reviewing your feedback, we’ll be making a number of changes in a hotfix later today:

Snipers and Crossbows do not benefit as much from quick switching, so we’ll be reverting the equip time changes for those weapons.
We will be keeping the delay for the remaining weapons with the new behavior – Shotguns, Revolver, Hand Cannon, and Rocket Launcher. Note: All other weapons do not have equip times.
Weapon equip animations will be improved in a future update. These are unfortunately somewhat misleading – it’s possible to fire sooner than the gun appears ready, so they feel more sluggish than they really are. You may notice this on a few weapons.

These two changes are an iterative step in taking another look at our weapon swapping and improving it for the long run. Please share your feedback as we continue to work on these changes.

Guided Missile

We’ve gotten a lot of feedback around the Guided Missile, in particular concerns over fairness and strength of the weapon. We share your concerns, so we’ve put the Guided Missile into the vault while we figure out the next steps for its future.

Read the full list of PUBG Update 11 patch notes below:

PUBG Update 11 Patch Notes (Test Server)

UI / UX

A marker has been added to the map that allows players to check the flight path of the plane.
The path is visible from when players are at the waiting lobby up until the point when they fall down to their final drop destination.

Bugs Fixes

There should no longer be excessive blood effects when you’re getting shot in FPP mode or while aiming down sights.
Fixed issue that sometimes caused blood effects to not show up when shooting other players.
Fixed an issue that was causing character silhouettes to remain visible while inside smoke
Switching weapons while prone should no longer cause certain animations to break

Custom game real-time spectating

In the lobby’s custom match list, you can select an ongoing game and watch it in real time.*
Games that have the Public Spectating option set to “On” can be watched in Custom Match.
For private matches, you can spectate the game by entering a given password.

Report: Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Won’t Have a Traditional Single-Player Campaign

by Alex Co

April 17, 2018 11:44 pm in News

While Treyarch is gearing up for the official reveal of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 this coming May 17, it seems more info from the shooter is slowly seeping through the cracks, with today’s nugget of info seemingly bordering on megaton category.

According to Polygon’s sources “with knowledge of the project’s status,” there won’t be a Black Ops 4 campaign in the traditional sense, and that Treyarch will instead focus on multiplayer and the franchise’s Zombie mode.

The sources state that as Black Ops 4’s release date approached, it became evident that development on the Black Ops 4 single-player campaign won’t be finished on time, with another source stating that Treyarch has since poured all its focus on the multiplayer mode and in Zombies. Additionally, there’s said to be an emphasis on co-op modes being the potential stand-in for campaign.

When reached for comment, an Activision representative said that the company doesn’t comment on rumor and speculation, and that they’re looking forward to the May 17 reveal.

If this is true, then this is definitely major news as every Call of Duty entry before this has featured a full-fledged campaign. Having said that, it’s become readily apparent over the years that the franchise’s main draw has been the multiplayer, and this has only been hammered home by the series’ eSports focus.

Will this be a deal breaker for you if there’s no Black Ops 4 campaign? Or it won’t matter much given you only play multiplayer anyway?

Don’t forget to check out our latest feature where we list down the top five things we want to see in Black Ops 4.

Monster Hunter World New Elder Dragon Announced, Will Be Available Tomorrow

by Alex Co

11:22 pm in News

Killing Deviljho not enough for you in Monster Hunter World? Well, if so, you’re in luck! Capcom has announced that Monster Hunter World new Elder Dragon will be making its way to the game starting tomorrow! Introducing, “Kulve Taroth.”

Set to become available via a game update scheduled to roll out at 5 p.m. PT, there’s also a new game mode included in the patch, along with a new loot system! Check out the trailer and official info below.

New Elder Dragon: Kulve Taroth

With the conclusion of the Zorah Magdaros and Nergigante investigations, the path is now clear for new Elder Dragons to emerge in the New World; the perfect opening for the majestic Kulve Taroth.

Cloaked in a heavy golden mantle, this dazzling threat is fast approaching and it’s up to you and your Hunting Squad to work together and repel it at all costs. Of course, you’ll be handsomely rewarded for your efforts.

The new quest type will be called “Siege” and will have players from the Gathering Hub coordinate in breaking off parts to gain better rewards. Note that this is a multiplayer-only quest, and as such, PlayStation Plus (or Xbox Live Gold) memberships are required.

In this new quest type, we invite all of you up to the Gathering Hub to coordinate your hunting efforts with all 16 players in the lobby. Up to four parties of four hunters each can team up and contribute progress, work together to collectively break more parts, and reap greater benefits of hunting the same Kulve Taroth.

Please note that the Siege game mode balance is the same regardless of the hunting party size, and SOS Flares will be disabled for this special operation. Instead, we advise that you make use of the Search for Online Session function or Squad Sessions to find or build a hub ready to take on this massive feat.

There’s a new weapon loot system that players will need to discover by themselves. Breaking off as many parts of the Kulve Taroth and dealing a ton of damage will help in getting the goods. Now for the armor set, the Smithy already has the a and b sets (provided you have the materials), and there’s also the Layered Armor Set, which you can equip on top of your armor to change the appearance.

According to Capcom, the Kulve Taroth Siege will be available for only a limited time, though it will return at a later (unspecified) date.

There you have it, folks! Once the update is live, we’ll be sure to let our readers know.

Call of Duty: WWII Ground War & “Blitzkrieg” Community Event Now Live

by Alex Co

5:27 pm in News

Call of Duty: WWII fans, Sledgehammer Games has a treat for you today! There’s a new COD WW2 update out now, which adds the COD WW2 Ground War (as previously reported), and a new “Blitzkrieg” community event, which has new weapons, new challenges and more.

The COD WW2 Blitzkrieg event starts today, and will run until Tuesday, May 8. Players can expect six new weapons, double XP events, new community challenges, even a new playable map! Check out the trailer below as well as the official details straight from Sledgehammer.

Ground War
The Ground War multiplayer game mode is the biggest battle available in Call of Duty: WWII. With 9-on-9 matches across Team Deathmatch, Kill Confirmed, Domination and War, the stakes are bigger, and there is more danger around every corner. Ground War is available now, and visit CallofDuty.com to learn how to earn 2XP for playing it.

You’ll find modes like Team Deathmatch, Domination, and Kill Confirmed in Ground War throughout Blitzkrieg, so keep an eye on the Featured Tab in the Public Match lobby and get ready to make new friends!

Play Party Games in HQ
Are you a Prop Hunt player? Do you run the gamut in Gun Game? If so, you’ll want to hear this: the HQ is now a free playable map for Party Games in Call of Duty: WWII. Gather your squad and test your skills in Prop Hunt, Gun Game, and Free-For-All on this new playable map. The HQ map is a free permanent addition to Call of Duty: WWII, so enjoy!

Six New Weapons
Captain Butcher made sure to bring the firepower to push back the Axis army. Starting on April 17, you can earn the Type 5, ITRA Burst, and M2 Carbine rifles, the Type 38 Sniper, the Sterling SMG, and the Baseball Bat melee weapon. Reload your arsenal with these six new weapons and experiment with them alongside the recently overhauled Divisions.

Community Challenge
The Blitzkrieg Community Challenge features new Orders from Major Howard, Contracts from Captain Butcher, as well as brand new Nazi Zombies Orders and Contracts. Knock ’em out and you’ll unlock free rewards such as a helmet, a weapon charm, and even an exclusive “Rosie II” Grease Gun variant.

Starting on April 20, you will need to band together with your fellow players to push towards an epic goal – completing 75 million Orders and Contracts collectively in Multiplayer! But fear not, because you’ll gain rewards at each step along the way. Work your way up through the tiers with the rest of your Allies, and push towards the goal!

The Fortnite Light Machine Gun Is Coming to Battle Royale

by James Fleming

1:02 pm in News

The Fortnite Light Machine Gun is coming soon to the Battle Royale mode. Epic Games has confirmed this using the in-game news tab. The Light Machine Gun has “a fast rate of fire, large magazines and slow reload.”

Here’s the description recorded on the Fortnite Gamepedia page:

Assault Weapon: Light Machine Gun. A heavy weapon with high damage, an extreme rate of fire, and a huge magazine size. Very inaccurate unless aiming down sights from a fixed position, and firing in short bursts.

Do you think the Light Machine Gun will be a good addition to Fortnite Battle Royale? Or is it going to have a negative impact on the game? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

New PUBG Update Improves Savage Map Gameplay Experience

by James Fleming

11:32 am in News

A new PUBG update has rolled out to the game’s closed experimental server, bringing some significant changes to the Savage map. Those playing during the 48-hour testing window will notice that the red and blue zones act a little differently, and that more grenades are spawning.

Check out the full list of PUBG update patch notes below:

New PUBG Update Patch Notes:

Redzone

The redzone’s size and duration have both been decreased.

Bluezone

A new feature enables the bluezone to calculate and adjust its waiting time based on the number of players left alive.

Spawn Balance

Grenades now spawn more often.
The strongest scope which can be obtained from care packages is now the 8x scope.
Total numbers of boats spawned has been decreased, but boats now spawn more predictably along the towns near the sea.

Map Changes

Three new areas have been added.

Here’s a reminder of how much time is remaining before the closed experimental server is taken offline:

CODENAME: SAVAGE TESTING WINDOW

OPENS: Mon, April 16, 6pm PDT / Tues, April 17, 3am CEST / April 17, 10am KST
CLOSES: Wed, April 18, 6pm PDT / Tues, April 19, 3am CEST / April 19, 10am KST
