Fortnite Update 1.000.167 Brings Heists and Known

Run Amok in Fortnite Battle Royale Chapter 6 Season 2: LAWLESS!

Stick ‘em up! It’s time to blow that vault door wide open and make a… “withdrawal.” Ransack Fletcher Kane’s banks, take over his armored cars, even pull off a train robbery! The outlaw Midas returns with a new motley crew including wannabe hip-hop icon Big Dill, Cassidy Quinn, and more. There’s no such thing as honor among thieves in Fortnite Battle Royale Chapter 6 Season 2: LAWLESS!

Rendezvous Views

The Island has been infused with an abundance of Bars 💰, and now every opportunist is out to hit the jackpot including the ruthless crime kingpin Fletcher Kane. It’s every bandit for themselves in the ultimate race to get rich!

Crime City

You’re sure to find mayhem in the seedy underbelly of Crime City, the ultimate stomping ground for all manner of corrupt and crooked misfits. Make sure to visit the Hostile Hotel, Wise Guys Bookstore, and the Launder Mat for a full criminal excursion.

Fortnite Battle Royale Lawless Crime City

Outlaw Oasis

Unwind at the Outlaw Oasis, a high-end hangout luxury spa and resort where burglars typically relax and recover after a busy day of swiping huge hauls.

Fortnite Battle Royale Lawless Outlaw Oasis Day

Shiny Shafts

You could rob one of Fletcher Kane’s banks for Bars… or you could go right to the source. His mining operation, Shiny Shafts, is a highly contested area above ground and below.

Fortnite Battle Royale Lawless Shiny Shafts Outside

Lonewolf Lair

Security is tight around Fletcher’s mansion hideout, Lonewolf Lair. Anyone bold enough to challenge his growing empire is in for a fight!

Fortnite Battle Royale Lawless Lonewolf Lair Outside

Public Enemy #1

The baron Fletcher Kane has set up shop as the Island’s mob don, and his paws are in every pocket in town. He’s been known only to appear at the most inopportune moments. Namely, while you’re mid-heist.

Fortnite Battle Royale Lawless Fletcher Kane

Survive Fletcher’s barrage of claw attacks and you’ll be awarded with the Mythic Fletcher Kane’s Double Down Pistol and the Unstoppable Medallion. True to its name, this Medallion increases sprint speed and allows for bashing enemies while sprinting. As a reminder, Medallions make you visible on opponents’ mini-map. The more Medallions you have, the more precise the radius of your exact location — you’ve been warned!

The demon warrior Shogun X still wanders the Island, though his defeat now rewards the Super Shield Medallion, which places down a Shield Bubble Jr. when using a self-healing item like a Med Kit or Shield Potion.

Pickle on the Beat

Fortnite Battle Royale Lawless Big Dill

Big Dill is the newest rap artist on the scene in Fortnite. He’s a mean, green, hot-tempered outlaw aiming to be the grittiest gherkin in the jar. Big Dill & The Brat make up the dynamic duo known as the Tasty Bois. Their new single “Runamok” just dropped on Soundcloud and is available as a Jam Track in the Battle Pass.

Big Dill is robbing banks, launching music, and creating his own shoddy currency in-game: Dill Bits (more on that in a second). Who knows what he’ll do next… maybe launch a podcast?

In Broad Daylight

Even the best heisters appreciate a how-to, so here’s what to expect in your malicious mission:

Feel the Rush

All that glitters is yours. Swimming in gold-infused water will put you under the effect of Gold Rush, which increases your speed, how fast your Pickaxe swings, and how much damage your Pickaxe does against structures. You can also gain Gold Rush by mining Gold Veins, which can be excavated with your Pickaxe for Bars.

Big Dill is ballin’ out of control thanks to his Dill Bits coin, which has become even more valuable than Bars*. Typically sealed behind lock and key in vaults around the Island, Dill Bits don’t carry over from match to match, so spend them quickly before your wallet goes to zero! But, uh, to the moon!

Fortnite Battle Royale Lawless Gold Bars Dill Bits

*Big Dill has more arrest warrants than he does top 40 tracks, please do not take financial advice from a rapping pickle. 

Money’s Meant to Be Spent

Spend your Dill Bits and Gold Bars at one of three Black Markets around the map, offering a selection of Mythic and Legendary items obtained in a totally legit way. Black Markets also offer Boons that’ll make your next break-in a breeze.

FNBR C6S2 BlackMarket Social 1920x1080

Kane, Train & Automobiles

Be wary, if gold moves in this town, you’d better believe Fletcher Kane knows about it. His Armored Transport convoys can be found transporting valuables around the map. Expect a fight with his henchmen if you’re planning to get inside one, but if you can wrestle control of the steering wheel, it’s yours to joyride in.

Fortnite Battle Royale Lawless Armored Transport

Raiding Fletcher’s Armored Train promises a lotta loot, though it’s well-known as the most dangerous job in town! Board the train and destroy its turrets to bring it to a screeching halt, then blow open the vault car with Thermite and you’ll be rewarded handsomely. Just, be careful — you’re likely to attract the attention of other players while carrying out this “transaction.”

Fortnite Battle Royale Lawless Armored Train

A Boon of Boons

A new Season means a refreshed slate of Boons! Available only from Black Markets or Rare Chests this Season, Boons persist beyond elimination in the same match (meaning you’ll keep them if you get rebooted in the same match). Collect all five!

  • Vulture Boon: Reveal where enemies are eliminated on the map for a short time.
  • Gold Rush Boon: Opening or destroying Chests grants Gold Rush.
  • Adrenaline Rush Boon: Gain the Slap effect (short-term unlimited Energy regen) upon mantling, hurdling, and wall jumping.
  • Gold Ammo Boon: Gain ammo when picking up Bars.
  • Greed Boon: Find extra Bars from eliminations and opening containers.

Fornite Battle Royale Lawless Boons

New, Nefarious Munitions

We haven’t gone over the new tools at your disposal yet. They’re great for getting into trouble… and staying there.

Items for Vault Busting

The ONLY way to crack a vault is with Thermite, a powerful explosive found stashed away around the map. After you’ve planted some, you can set off the explosion faster by damaging the vault’s weak points. The Plasma Burst Laser works great for this, as does the Rocket Drill arriving later this Season in v34.10.

Fortnite Battle Royale Lawless Plasma Burst Laser Thermite Rocket Drill

Items for Mayhem

Bars can’t buy the time needed to pull a heist, but the Collateral Damage Assault Rifle and Falcon Eye Sniper might. And keep an eye out for the formidable Outlaw Shotgun which drops in v34.10.

Fortnite Battle Royale Lawless Falcon Eye Sniper Collateral Damage Assault Rifle

Fancy yourself ambidextrous? Big Dill’s fave combo, the dual-wield Pump & Dump, arrives in v34.10 and will be your new close-to-mid-range best friend. Occupying a single weapon slot, hold a Pump Shotgun in one hand and an SMG in the other!

An Item for a Home Run Heist…

A favorite of ne’er-do-wells everywhere is The Kneecapper, great for giving opponents a good ol’ fashioned whack. Wielding The Kneecapper reduces the Energy cost of sprinting and increases sprint speed and jump height.

Fortnite Battle Royale Lawless The Kneecapper

Items for Watching Your Back

You’ll find new utility items around the map, such as the protective Port-A-Cover and enemy-detecting Pulse Scanner. Both are tremendously useful for holding off henchmen while you grab all the Bars you can find.

Henchmen and enemy squads interrupting your heist-in-progress? The Med-Mist Grenade helps heal in a pinch, and Gold Splash grants Gold Rush and heals 20 Health (or 20 Shield if you’re at full Health already).

Fortnite Battle Royale Lawless Port A Cover Pulse Scanner Med Mist Grenade Gold Splash

Slay Frosty

Your enemies are about to be on thin ice. The cold-blooded cryomancer Sub-Zero has arrived on the Island and can be recruited to your cause! Be sure to pick up Sub-Zero’s Kombat Kit, which empowers you to ice slide into opponents and unleash a flurry of frosty fists 🧊❄️

Fortnite Battle Roayle Lawless Sub Zeros Kombat Kit

LAWLESS Battle Pass

Get ready for a notorious new look! The LAWLESS Season brings the LAWLESS Battle Pass, offering a wealth of Outfits and accessories.

Fortnite Lawless Battle Pass

Like with the other Passes in Fortnite, unlock and claim rewards in the Battle Pass by earning XP in any Fortnite experience. The Battle Pass has both free and premium rewards. To claim the premium rewards as you earn XP, purchase the Pass for only 1,000 V-Bucks or get it through Fortnite Crew! Included as premium rewards, there are several Outfits in the Pass:

  • Cassidy Quinn: She’s all in. (Cassidy Quinn is claimable right away upon purchasing the Battle Pass!)
  • Joss: It’s not magic. It’s chemistry!
  • Fletcher Kane: What’s yours is his.
  • Valentina: Get in, get the goods, and get out with style.
  • Big Dill: The original Tasty Boi.
  • Keisha Cross: She rules the road.
  • Sub-Zero (MK3): The Lin Kuei cryomancer of legend.

The golden king finds his way back to the Island. The Outlaw Midas Outfit will be unlockable from Battle Pass Quests in March, completable in any Fortnite experience! The Battle Pass will be available to progress in until Chapter 6 Season 2 ends on May 2, 2025 Eastern Time.

Fortnite Battle Royale Lawless Outlaw Midas

Let’s Go, Space Cowboy!

Prefer stopping criminals? Starting March 1 Eastern Time, complete COWBOY BEBOP Quests for XP that can contribute towards COWBOY BEBOP Bonus Goals. Meeting these Bonus Goals will unlock the COWBOY BEBOP Wrap and BEBOP Legends Loading Screen! The Quests and Bonus Goals will be available until March 18 Eastern Time.

Fortnite Cowboy Bebop Bebop Legends Loading Screen

The BEBOP Legends Loading Screen.

What if we said you can complete these objectives as the famed bounty hunters themselves? The Spike Spiegel Outfit and Faye Valentine Outfit will be in the Fortnite Shop starting February 28 Eastern Time!

Introducing Moments

Celebrate the start and end of a match with a music Moment! In the Locker, players can now choose a Jam/Lobby Track to play when they drop out of the Battle Bus and one to play when they get a Victory Royale. Players will not hear each other’s music, even when spectating, as the chosen Track will only play locally. In split-screen, Player 1’s chosen Track will be the one that plays.

*REcOrD sCRatch* Bro the only music moment in history that mattered is when my man big Dill dropped runamok WHO cares about any other jam truck?

  by   Alex Co  
2:04 am in News

[summaraize]

Epic Games is set to deliver the next major content drop for Fortnite, but before they can do that, the Fortnite servers need to be pulled down for a few hours. This will affect all aspects of the game, so Battle Royale, LEGO, Rocket Racing and more won’t be functional for a few hours/

Read on for the schedule and what to to expect from v34.00, which will be available on all platforms to download once the servers are down.

Fortnite Servers Down on February 21 to Implement Patch v34.00

The downtime starts a little early for today, as matchmaking will be disabled at 2 am ET/11 pm PT/3 pm HKT, and this should last for at least 2-4 hours depending on how much time Epic needs to roll out the patch, and make sure everything is working before turning it on again.

While the official patch notes aren’t out yet, expect a slew of new cosmetics as the Mortal Kombat krew is crossing over! This is a massive patch that ushers in Chapter 6 Season 2: Lawless, so expect a lot of shenanigans and robbery to be part of the season/

Once the patch notes ar live, we’ll provide a link to it in this article to help our readers out. If anything changes regarding the downtime, we’ll make note of it within he article.

Delta Force Campaign Is So Hard, Devs Cannot Even Complete It Solo

  by   Alex Co  
February 20, 2025 7:09 pm in News

While Delta Force launched last year as a free-to-play multiplayer game, Team Jade’s ambition for the franchise is much bigger than that, as the developers are poised to release the Black Hawk Down campaign for free this Februaary 21, 2025.

This isn’t your typical first-person military shooter campaign where you’re a super solider that can mow down everyone that gets in your way with ease. On the contrary, the game is so hard, that you’ll probably need a full squad of four in order to complete it.

Delta Force Black Hawk Down Campaign Hands-On Preview - An Intense Fight
Delta Force released at the end of last year, and we liked what we saw.

Delta Force’s Black Hawk Down Campaign Is H-A-R-D

Earlier this month, Team Jade invited MP1st to try out the Delta Force campaign before it was released. Our own staff member, Paulmichael, noted how difficult the game is While the enemies are quick to go down with just a few bullets, so do you. There’s also a ton of enemies rushing at you at any given time, so it gets overwhelming.

Apparently, the enemy team have perfect vision, so if they see even a sliver of your character, they’ll pull that trigger. Even if they won’t always hit you, that adds to the tension of always needing to be in cover.

To put things in perspective how hard the game is, there’s no one a Team Jade who managed to beat the entire campaign solo! Yep, that’s what we were told, which is crazy when you think about it.

The Delta Force Black Hawk Down campaign game description reads, “In this thrilling free-to-play co-op campaign, step into the boots of an elite Delta Force operator and relive one of the most iconic military operations, where a straightforward capture operation turns into an impossible extraction.”

Delta Force Campaign Features:

A LEGENDARY BATTLE, REIMAGINED – Powered by Unreal Engine 5, BLACK HAWK DOWN delivers breathtaking visuals, immersing you in Mogadishu like never before. With an unparalleled level of detail and a diverse range of missions, every corner of the city tells a story, and every encounter feels visceral and real.

TEST YOUR LIMITS – It takes grit, determination, and sacrifice to become a legend. BLACK HAWK DOWN is the ultimate test of skill, demanding everything you’ve got. This isn’t a shooting gallery—it’s war. Every turn could be your last, and survival is never guaranteed.

A FAITHFUL REBOOT  – The BLACK HAWK DOWN co-op campaign is a faithful reboot of the classic 2001 movie and a heartfelt love letter to fans of the original 2003 Delta Force: Black Hawk Down, breathing new life into those legendary stories and moments.

PLAY AS A TEAM – Only the best squads survive. Choose your class, customize your loadout, and—most importantly—move as a unit to overcome the unprecedented challenges ahead.

If you want to give it a shot, you can download the campaign for free via this link once it’s officially released.

Black Ops 6 Update 1.69 for Season 2 Reloaded Brings New Content

  by   Alex Co  
2:42 pm in Title Updates and Patches

Activision has pushed out Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 update 1.69 on consoles and PC, and this is for the big Season 2 Reloaded patch that brings a ton of new content into the game,

Expect a new crossover with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, new weapons, maps, perks and more! There’s a lot to take in, so read on for what’s new for Black Ops 6 and even Warzone.

Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Download1.69 – Everything New for Multiplayer and Zombies

New Multiplayer Maps

  • Grind Ooze (6v6)
    • The fan-favorite map first released in Call of Duty: Black Ops II returns for Black Ops 6 in the mid-season! Show off your best combat moves in the outdoor Half Pipe and Cradle or take your chances inside as Operators trade shots around the Store and across the indoor skate ramps, with TMNT decals, posters, and artwork spread across the scenery.
  • Bullet (6v6/2v2)
    • Sev and Rogue Team deploy to a high-speed bullet train to neutralize a key enemy target. Keep your eyes sharp when moving up and sweeping the carriages; the automatic sliding doors may reveal an incoming enemy at a moment’s notice.

New Multiplayer Modes

  • TMNT Moshpit
    • Enter a game of Team Deathmatch, Domination, or Hardpoint and unleash ninja-level abilities and TMNT Scorestreaks against your enemies in pursuit of victory. These special Scorestreaks are earned by scoring as normal, but because the turtles work as a team, objective plays award an increase in the score.

New Weapons

The mid-season update brings new weapons to battle with, including a sawblade Secondary Weapon and five new Melee Weapons. Note that the base versions of the Bo Staff, Katanas, Sai, and Nunchaku Melee weapons will be available to unlock via the Armory at the start of Season 02 Reloaded.

  • Fixed an issue where players could encounter a dev error when attempting to access Buy Stations.

Path of Exile 2 Update 1.013 Adds Support for Upcoming Event and More

  by   Alex Co  
2:33 pm in Title Updates and Patches

[summaraize]

Grinding Gear Games has deployed Path of Exile 2 update 1.013 on consoles and PC, and this preps the game for the upcoming Legacy of Phrecia event, alongside various bug fixes.

Read on for the complete patch notes and details for today’s PoE2 title update.

One of the most interesting parts of Cyberpunk 2077 is its open-world environment called Night City.

Path of Exile 2 Receives Patch 3.25.3D on Consoles and PC

  • Added support for the upcoming Legacy of Phrecia event.
  • Added 475 more foiled Tier 17 Valdo’s Map options that the Valdo’s Puzzle Box can yield.
  • Added 360 more foiled Unique Item options that the Voidborn Reliquary can yield.
  • The cost of almost all town upgrades for Kingsmarch has been reduced, most notably at early to mid levels.
  • Early, non-smelting upgrades for Kingsmarch that cost Ore now instead cost a much smaller amount of the respective Bar. This is to prevent situations where you don’t want to smelt an Ore as you need it for an upgrade.
  • The “Socketed Vaal Skills have 100% reduced Soul Gain Prevention” Runesmithing Enchantment has been updated to “Socketed Vaal Skills do not apply Soul Gain Prevention”, this is not a functional change.
  • Fixed a bug where online item filters could sometimes fail to load when logging in on consoles.
  • Fixed a bug where Blitz Charges stated they had a duration of 5 seconds, when they actually have a duration of 10 seconds.
  • Fixed two instance crashes.

A hotfix was released soon after that, which was for “Fixed an instance crash introduced with 3.25.3d.”

That’s it for this patch, though we’re certain another one will be released soon given the studio’s cadence of support. Once GGG releases another one, expect it here on MP1st.

Black Ops 6 and Warzone Update 1.069 Brings Season 2 Mid-Season Patch

  by   Alex Co  
1:19 pm in Title Updates and Patches

[summaraize]

Activision has released the Season 2 mid-season patch for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone this February 20, and this once again brings a slew of new content, fixes, new cosmetics and more.

Players will see this as Black Ops 6 and Warzone update 1.069 on current-gen, with last-gen gamers seeing this as patch 1.69. Given all recent Call of Duty games are under one launcher, players should be promoted to download this patch regardless if you’re only playing Warzone or the recent Call of Duty multiplayer games.

COD Black Ops 6 Update 1.069 Patch Notes and Everything New for Multiplayer and Zombies

New Multiplayer Maps

  • Grind Ooze (6v6)
    • The fan-favorite map first released in Call of Duty: Black Ops II returns for Black Ops 6 in the mid-season! Show off your best combat moves in the outdoor Half Pipe and Cradle or take your chances inside as Operators trade shots around the Store and across the indoor skate ramps, with TMNT decals, posters, and artwork spread across the scenery.
  • Bullet (6v6/2v2)
    • Sev and Rogue Team deploy to a high-speed bullet train to neutralize a key enemy target. Keep your eyes sharp when moving up and sweeping the carriages; the automatic sliding doors may reveal an incoming enemy at a moment’s notice. Climb up to the roof of the train to feel the whipping wind and marvel at the landscape flying by. Be ready to defend your spot up top and then drop back down behind the enemy line.

New Multiplayer Modes

  • TMNT Moshpit
    • Enter a game of Team Deathmatch, Domination, or Hardpoint and unleash ninja-level abilities and TMNT Scorestreaks against your enemies in pursuit of victory. These special Scorestreaks are earned by scoring as normal, but because the turtles work as a team, objective plays award an increase in the score.

New Weapons

The mid-season update brings new weapons to battle with, including a sawblade Secondary Weapon and five new Melee Weapons. Note that the base versions of the Bo Staff, Katanas, Sai, and Nunchaku Melee weapons will be available to unlock via the Armory at the start of Season 02 Reloaded.

New Perk

  • Hunter’s Instinct (Enforcer – Event Reward)

New Wildcard

  • Flyswatter (Event Reward)
    • Allows a player to replace their Dedicated Melee weapon with a Launcher.

MULTIPLAYER

Maps

  • Added new maps to MP rotations:
    • Grind Ooze (6v6)
    • Bullet (6v6/2v2 Strike Map)

Modes

  • Search & Destroy
    • Addressed an issue where the 1v3 Medal would not be awarded.

Spawns

  • Team Deathmatch
    • Adjusted spawning logic to reduce chances of flipping too soon resulting in less immediate flipping.
  • Domination
    • Adjusted spawning logic to slightly reduce the stickiness and strength that zone ownership has on spawns. While we do want players to spawn near their owned zones, we also want to ensure that safe spawns can occur if enemies are advancing into your objectives.
  • All Modes
    • Increasing the time that a death will affect enemy spawn positions. This should result in less immediate flipping.

LTM Highlights / Adjustments

  • Added TMNT Moshpit
    • Enter a game of Team Deathmatch, Domination, or Hardpoint and unleash ninja-level abilities and TMNT Scorestreaks against your enemies in pursuit of victory.

      • General Abilities
        • After activating your Scorestreak, for 30 seconds, you’ll gain increased health plus fast health regen and increased movement speed and melee range. A HUD indicator will flash when an enemy is outside your view and being shot while running toward an enemy will not slow you down. You can perform Finishing Moves on enemies from any direction. Plus, gain the ability to Double Jump and Air Dash.
      • Turtle Powers
        • Using your TMNT Scorestreak also activates one of several different character-specific abilities. One of these abilities is assigned randomly to players at the start of the match:
          • Splinter: Vanish in smoke and teleport to a safe location behind enemy lines.
          • Leonardo: Gain the Tracker, Ghost, Vigilance, and Cold-Blooded Perks to navigate the map in stealth.
          • Donatello: See Operators through walls as well as Equipment, Field Upgrades, and Scorestreaks. Hack enemy Equipment and Field Upgrades.
          • Michelangelo: Drops a Pizza Box for your team. Players who eat a slice will deal Double Damage for a short time. Replenishes ammo and Equipment.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Update 3 Patch Notes

New Features

NVIDIA DLSS 4

Update 3 brings support for NVIDIA DLSS 4: a suite of rendering technologies that boosts framerates, increases performance, and improves image quality!

  • Players using supported NVIDIA hardware can enable Multi Frame Generation (3x, 4x) using the new transformer-based model
  • Ray Reconstruction increases the clarity and stability of ray-traced images
  • DLAA and DLSS Super Resolution have also been updated to the transformer-based model. These options when enabled, enhance native and upscaled image quality, respectively

Ray-Traced Local Lights

For players who have Path Tracing enabled, this update includes a new option for ray-traced shadows to include all light sources, which significantly increases the quality of shadows in interior locations. (Players can also choose to keep the previous setting, which provides ray-traced shadows from the sun only.)

Path Tracing (Full Ray Tracing) Support for AMD and Intel Graphics Cards

This update brings Path Tracing to supported Intel and AMD GPUs. To use Path Tracing, your Intel or AMD graphics card must support Hardware Ray Tracing and have at least 16GB of VRAM. Please make sure to download the latest drivers from your GPU manufacturer!

Note that in foliage-dense locations, such as Sukhothai, reducing Vegetation Animation Quality below the “Ultra” settings can reduce the occasional shadow “popping” that may be seen on all graphics cards using Path Tracing.

FSR 3.1, including Frame Generation

Update 3 adds support for AMD FSR 3.1 upscaling and frame generation technology.

Intel XESS 1.4

Update 3 also adds support for Intel XESS 1.4 upscaling.

Quality of Life Updates

  • Repair kits can now also be used by selecting them directly from the inventory (Rather than only by selecting your broken weapon or tool!)

The folks at Warhorse isn’t sitting idly by on their saddles, as improvements and fixes have just been released for Kingdome Come Deliverance 2’s first-ever post-release patch. Called Hotfix 1.1,2 those on consoles will see this as Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 update 1.012. Expect fixes to combat, stability and more.

Given this is a hotfix, don’t expect a major bug sweep, as we assume that’ll come in the game’s first official update.

If you haven’t tried the game, you might want to remedy that, as our review was quite glowing in its praise, as we gave it a 9.5/10.

Metal Gear Solid 4’s Iconic Install Screen Gets Turned Into an Animated Wallpaper

  by   James Lara  
10:59 am in News

[summaraize]

Here’s a trip down memory lane. Remember installation screens that used to plague every game a few generations ago? I know I do, but the one that has always stuck out the most to me was Kojima’s 2008 Metal Gear Solid 4, not because it was a long installation, but rather the fact that the game tried to keep you entertained by featuring Old Snake smoking a cigarette throughout the entire installations.

Well, seems like a touch of nostalgia has hit one particular fan who has now brought back the installation screen as a brand-new animated wallpaper for your desktop PC.

A new animated wallpaper, created by the host of The Kojima Frequency, a podcast that discusses everything related to Kojima and his work, is now available for Wallpaper Engine. As seen in the video above, the animated wallpaper features the same installation screen that we all saw back on MGS4 during the PS3 era. It has Old Snake huffing and puffing a cigarette. Seeing him taking in the moment and enjoying every second made the installation process so fun to watch, even if it was in a loop. It was certainly one of the most creative installation screens we’ve ever seen, and we’re glad to see it turned into an animated wallpaper.

Judging by the views of the post and comments shared underneath it, the Metal Gear Solid fanbase absolutely loves this creation. Hopefully, if Metal Gear Solid 4 is part of Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 2, Konami manages to keep this installation screen. Even if it does not actually install anything, we hope it’s there as an option to playback whenever we want, just for the sake of nostalgia.

Cyberpunk 2077 Sequel to Aim for Most Realistic Crowd System Ever Seen in a Video Game

  by   Taha  
10:08 am in News

[summaraize]

One of the most interesting parts of Cyberpunk 2077 is its open-world environment called Night City. The representation of this cyberpunk metropolis will be at the center of the game’s sequel. CD Projekt RED specifically aims to create the most realistic crowd system ever seen in a video game.

As we know, one of the new projects being developed by the Polish studio is the direct sequel to Cyberpunk 2077, currently working under the codename Orion. It’s still a long way from completion, but it’s set to be a huge leap forward in terms of world-building.

It looks like CD Projekt RED's consistent updates to bring Cyberpunk 2077 to what was initially promised has bore fruit, as the game continues to sell quite well, and has now breached 30 million units sold.

Cyberpunk 2077 Sequel Will Feature the Most Realistic Crowd System Ever Seen in a Video Game

Cyberpunk 2077

This evolution is of course influenced by the major changes made to the original game. After a rather disastrous launch, the game has been worked on and improved over the years, reaching a truly remarkable level of quality.

Building on this base, Orion aims to create an even bigger, deeper, and more convincing cyberpunk world, especially in terms of how NPCs and the people of Night City are portrayed.

According to job postings recently shared by CD Projekt RED, the team is looking to fill various roles for the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel, including a “lead encounter designer.” This person will focus on managing the local population of Night City, among other tasks, specifically dealing with the encounters that players will have during the game.

The developer will work alongside other team members, and the goal seems to be to “create the most realistic and reactive crowd system in any game to date.”

In addition to this, there will also be the usual design of “memorable combat encounters based on predefined narrative, environmental and gameplay themes,” but it looks like a lot of attention is being given to making the new Night City as alive and believable as possible.

Dutch Consumer Group Sues Sony Over High Digital Game Prices on PlayStation Store

  by   Taha  
9:48 am in News

[summaraize]

The Dutch consumer foundation Massaschade & Consument has filed a lawsuit against Sony, accusing the company of abusing its dominant position to keep prices high on the PlayStation Store. The foundation argues that digital games cost, on average, 47% more than physical versions, even though the costs of publishing and distribution are lower.

This legal action is based on research done by the foundation, which shows how the PlayStation Store’s closed system and Sony’s strong position in the console market cause “artificially high prices.” The foundation is especially unhappy with Sony’s choice to stop people from buying digital game keys from other stores, which reduces choices for consumers.

If the lawsuit is successful, Sony may be forced to open up its digital market to other sellers. This case is part of a wider trend of similar legal actions against Sony in other European countries. In the UK, a similar case has been given the green light by the Competition Appeal Tribunal, drawing increasing attention to Sony’s business practices in the digital market.

Dutch PlayStation users who have bought items from the PlayStation Store can join the lawsuit for free. The first court hearing is expected at the end of the year, and the result could have a big impact on the digital game market.

In other news, Nintendo recently filed a lawsuit against a grocery store named “Super Mario” in San Ramon, Costa Rica, seeking to force a name change. However, the Costa Rican National Registry rejected Nintendo’s request, ruling that the Super Mario trademark was not classified in the country.

  • If the microphone becomes disconnected during game play, the game will default to the TEXT option until microphone is reconnected.

Astro Bot New Update 1.013 Adds Thrust or Bust and New Bot

  by   Alex Co  
9:01 am in Title Updates and Patches

[summaraize]

As expected given Team Asobi’s announcement last week, another new patch for award-winning game Astro Bot is out! PS5 players will see this as Astro Bot new update 1.013, and this adds the Thrust or Bust level, and a new bot to save.

Clocking in at just 396MB, this small download is the second of  a five-DLC roll out plan by Team Asobi, with content dropping for players for free until March.

Like any platformer, Team Asobi's award-winning game Astro Bot also features power-ups to help clear stages faster and much more manageable.

Astro Bot’s New Update Version 1.013 Adds a New Bot

Aside from the new level, players can expect to earn the “Thrusting Rescue” trophy upon completion. As you can see, there is a new bot to be rescued as well. If you don’t want to be spoiled who it is, turn away now.

This week’s new bot is from Level-5’s PS2 RPG Dark Cloud!

The remaining levels we’re about to get every Thursday are:

  • Feb 20: Thrust or Bust
  • Feb 27: Cock-A-Doodle-Doom
  • Mar 6: Hard to Bear
  • Mar 13: Armored Hardcore

The updates are all scheduled to be released every Thursday at 6 am PT/9 am ET/10 pm HKT/10 pm JST.

Note that you must have completed the game to access these new levels (and bots).  One bot we know that’s on the way thanks to a leaked poster is someone from a renowned fighting game.

Don’t expect anyone from Final Fantasy 7 to make an appearance though, as Square Enix isn’t keen on adding any of its characters to the game.

What to Know Before Patch Installation

  • Due to the platform’s update mechanism, your computer will need to reserve a certain amount of free disk space (not necessarily on the same disk if you are s STEAM user) for temporary storage of the update files. (PC)
  • If you have installed any mods in the game, installing the patch may cause compatibility issues. This could prevent you from launching the game, loading your saved games, or triggering error pop-ups during gameplay. We recommend uninstalling the installed mods and verifying the integrity of the game files before restarting the game.
  • If you encounter unusually large update sizes during patch installation, or if the game gets stuck, crashes, or fails to start after installation, please refer to the Installation/Patch FAQ on our official website.
  • This update requires shaders to be recompiled. If you experience crashes during shader compilation, please try restarting the game until the compilation is complete or skip shader compilation. For more details, please refer to the Game Graphics FAQ. (PC)

  • Fixed an issue where “Yellowbrow” in “Relic Holders” of “Gauntlet of Legends” would become invisible permanently under certain conditions.

  • Corrected translation errors and fixed issues with spelling, capitalization, and terminology consistency in several languages.

  • Fixed the incorrect performance of trees in the prologue in PlayGo. (PS5)
  • Fixed the issue which caused errors when entering the game under certain conditions.

Known Issue

  • After this update, if a player performs a Varied Combo, followed by a Dodge/Perfect Dodge, and then activates Immobilize/certain Spirit Skills, they may be unable to chain into the second strike of the Varied Combo. This issue will be resolved in a future update as soon as possible.

Expect another patch to be released to fix the Varied Combo issue, and once Game Science releases that, we’ll let our readers know.

For those waiting on the Xbox Series version, the developers have said that memory issues with the Series S are causing the holdup.

Valorant Update 1.000.029 Brings Patch 10.03 Changelog

ALL PLATFORMS

AGENT UPDATES

  • All slows consistently slow dashes across the whole agent ecosystem now to match behavior we made in patches 9.10 and 9.11 for Vyse and Concuss effects.
    • This means it now affects Chamber, Skye, and Harbor’s slows.

GAMEPLAY SYSTEMS UPDATES

  • Minimap visual language has been updated for increased gameplay clarity & fidelity.
    • Here’s an example using Icebox:
BUG FIXES
  • General
    • Fixed issues where explosive damaging utility could kill Sentinel trap abilities like Vyse’s Arc Rose from vastly outside its intended radius.
    • NOTE: New explosive damage functionality was toggled off for 10.01/10.02 while this was being investigated and fixed. We’ll be monitoring these changes to ensure there are no other issues requiring a toggle.
  • Gameplay Systems
    • Fixed an issue where you could not move/use the buy menu while the remake vote screen is displayed. This new voting widget also color corrects the confirmation button to be green and the decline button to be red.

While HexWorks' Lords of the Fallen has sold well enough for a sequel, and the game is still constantly getting updates, the game's community should be happy with how things are going, right? Apparently, that hasn't been the case lately, and it has all to do with one particular game update that renamed a few things.

  • We’ve added a way to search your friends list.
    • You can use the friends list search field to filter your friends list by player name or tag.
  • When you have more than four party invites, the friends list will now hide them so you can still see your friends. You can click ‘Show More’ to display any hidden invites.

BUG FIXES

  • Competitive
    • Fixed an issue where Remake-ended matches in Competitive queue would display incorrect end-of-game screens after the game.
    • Fixed an issue where navigating players on the Leaderboard would sometimes highlight multiple players.

PC ONLY

BUG FIXES

  • Premier
    • Fixed an issue on the tournament bracket screen where match score was occasionally displayed in black.
    • Fixed an issue where the tournament bracket was not properly centered on some ultrawide displays.

That’s all for today’s Valorant update! Till next time!
