September 18, 2022 2:24 am in News

Epic Games has pushed out Fortnite update 3.68, which is for the big v22.00 title update! This ushers in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 into the game, which means a bunch of new content and more have been inserted in. Read on for the Fortnite v22.00 patch notes, as well as the datamined content spotted for this patch.

Fortnite Update 3.68 Patch Notes | Fortnite v22.00 Patch Notes:

In Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4: Paradise, a mysterious substance has appeared on the Island. Chrome will consume all, Chrome will be all. Embrace the Chrome by turning structures Chrome, making yourself Chrome, and proving the power of Chrome weapons. 

PHASE THROUGH WALLS

Fortnite Chrome Wall

Not even wood, stone, brick, or metal is a match for Chrome. An enemy built a structure for defense? Throw a Chrome Splash at the walls to make the walls penetrable — jump right through the building and get the drop on your opponent!

Fortnite Chrome Splash

Chrome Splash.
 

THE BEST SHAPE OF YOUR LIFE

Fortnite Chrome-ified

You can’t beat it, so be it: throw down a Chrome Splash to Chrome-ify yourself. You’ll be pure Chrome for a limited time, meaning you’ll be immune to fire damage and… become a Blob when sprinting. But don’t let this bulbous form fool you. While Blobbed, you’ll move faster, be immune to fall damage, and gain the ability to air dash. Dash into any building piece to Chrome-ify it then phase through it!
 

HOME SWEET CHROME

Fortnite Herald's Sanctum

Chrome’s not only taking over points of interest, it’s built a brand new one. Ascend Herald’s Sanctum (near the abandoned Sanctuary) and stand atop this tower of honorable and hexagonal foundations. 
 

A NEW KIND OF HIGH GROUND

Fortnite Cloudy Condos

In their fear of Chrome, some Island locations are seeking “safety” in the air — most notably Condo Canyon. Now called Cloudy Condos, attack from above in this expanding POI. One way to get up there? Use a D-Launcher, available in different places on the Island to help you gain higher ground.

BETTER WITH AGE

Fortnite EvoChrome Shotgun

EvoChrome Shotgun.

Chrome’s introduction caused the creation of the EvoChrome Shotgun and EvoChrome Burst Rifle. Find these weapons from Chrome Chests, then see their rarity increase the more you damage opponents with them. Take ‘em from Uncommon to Mythic!

Fortnite EvoChrome Burst Rifle

WEAPONS B.C.E. (BEFORE THE CHROME ERA)

Some pre-paradise things are alright… Use strategies from yesteryear with unvaulted weapons and returning Vibin’ weapons:

  • Sidearm Pistol
  • Prime Shotgun
  • Lever Action Shotgun
  • Rapid Fire SMG
  • Suppressed Submachine Gun
  • Ranger Assault Rifle
  • Hammer Assault Rifle
  • Designated Marksman Rifle (DMR)
  • Hunter Bolt-Action Sniper
  • Grenade
  • Firefly Jar
  • Harpoon Gun
  • Shadow Tracker (Exotic weapon)
  • The Dub (Exotic weapon)
  • Boom Sniper Rifle (Exotic weapon)
  • Boogie Bomb (technically not a weapon but sounds like one)
  • Shockwave Grenade (also technically not a weapon but here it is)
     

BRING ME SNIPER LOVE

Fortnite Hunter Bolt-Action Sniper

The Hunter Bolt-Action Sniper, which debuted in Chapter 3 Season 1: Flipped.

Speaking of weapons, Sniper weapons across the board (including ones still vaulted) have had their damage and their headshot multipliers increased. Expert marksmen and trickshotters rejoice, because now one shot could be all it takes to send someone back to the Lobby. Keep your head on a swivel and — if your aim is on-point — one-shot opponents with certain Snipers once again. (Even in Zero Build!)

  • Hunter Bolt-Action Sniper – damage and headshot multiplier increased
  • Hunting Rifle – damage and headshot multiplier increased
  • Automatic Sniper Rifle – damage and headshot multiplier increased
  • Lever Action Rifle – damage and headshot multiplier increased
  • Suppressed Sniper Rifle – damage increased
  • Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle – damage increased
  • Rail Gun – damage increased
  • Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle – damage increased
  • Heavy Sniper Rifle – headshot multiplier increased
  • Storm Scout Sniper Rifle – headshot multiplier increased
  • Boom Sniper Rifle – explosive damage increased 
     

KEYS TO SUCCESS

Fortnite Vault Keys

Becoming Chrome isn’t the only way to unlock your potential. There’s a good chance you’ll come across Keys on the Island — use them to open Vaults containing loot! Low-Security Vaults require one Key to open, while High-Security Vaults require two (for the reward of more items!). Where to find this locked loot? After collecting one or more Keys, you’ll see keyhole signs on your map to help you out.
 

BUNKER DOWN

Fortnite Port-A-Bunker

Under assault from enemies? Deploy potent cover fast with a Port-A-Bunker, taking the place of the Port-A-Fort this Season. Throw down the Port-A-Bunker to create an instant 1×1 structure featuring reinforced metal walls, a versatile ramp, doors, and defensive tires to bounce away would-be-invaders — no building required!
 

CHAPTER 3 SEASON 4 BATTLE PASS

Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 Battle Pass

Assemble an eclectic crew in your enjoyment of paradise. With this Season’s Battle Pass purchase, you’ll immediately unlock Paradigm (Reality-659)… if enemies of Chrome are your thing. Progress through the Battle Pass to unlock Spider-Gwen plus the following characters:

  • Bytes
  • Grriz
  • Meow Skulls
  • Lennox Rose
  • Twyn

For those devoted to the Chrome, don’t worry: The Herald becomes available to unlock later in the Season!

SLIDE KICK

Fortnite Sliding

Oh yeah, you’ll now knock back opposing players when sliding into them!
 

COMPETITIVE NOTES

  • Firefly Jars and Shockwave Grenades are not included in competitive playlists.
     

RESTRICTED HARDWARE

Starting this Season, players who use restricted devices that provide, or are intended to provide, a competitive advantage may receive an in-game warning. To continue playing, players must remove the hardware and restart Fortnite. Attempts to bypass this restriction will result in a permanent ban from Fortnite. Restricted devices include but are not limited to Cronus Zen and Cronus Max.

Epic Games has not released the official patch notes just yet, though here are some of the confirmed new content included in this patch.

  by   Alex Co  
2:00 am in News

If you’re seeing Fortnite down reports this September 18, it’s perfectly fine, as this is for server maintenance wherein Epic Games will also release the Chapter 3 Season 4 title update or otherwise known as v22.00!

Fortnite Down Server Status and Update for September 18:

Update: Here’s the list of new content alongside the datamined items found in patch v22.00!

Here’s the announcement from Epic Games. which might catch people off-guard given the usual Fortnite patch roll out day is Tuesday:

v22.00 releases on Sunday, September 18 with downtime beginning at 2 AM ET. We’ll provide another update when maintenance has concluded.

Please note patch sizes will be larger than normal for all platforms.

As you can see from the announcement, players will be prompted to download a larger than normal patch for v22.00. There’s no set date yet as to how long the Fortnite servers will be offline, but usually it takes 2-3 hours. That said, given this is a major update, don’t be shocked if maintenance lasts a lot longer.

We’ll be updating this post as more news regarding the maintenance schedule is out. We’ll also be providing a proper link out to the patch notes (and datamined content) once it’s available.

Respawn Boss Vince Zampella Admits Battlefield 2042 “Strayed Too Far From What Battlefield Is”

  by   Alex Co  
September 17, 2022 3:32 pm in News

If you think that Battlefield 2042 didn’t exactly feel and play like a traditional Battlefield game, you’re not the only one that thinks that. Even the head honcho of Respawn Entertainment — and as of last year, the head of the entire Battlefield franchise — Vince Zampella thinks that way, too.

Speaking to Barrons (article behind paywall), Zampella was asked what went wrong with Battlefield 2042, and he admitted that the game strayed too far from the franchise’s roots.

I think they just strayed a little too far from what Battlefield is. They tried to do a couple things that were maybe ambitious: grow the player count etc. I don’t think they spent enough time iterating on what makes that fun. It’s not inherently a bad idea. The way they were set up and the way they executed just didn’t allow them to find the best thing possible.

Given that the game not only underperformed for EA, but it also didn’t fare all that too well with gamers, Zampella’s point is more or less accurate. In my opinion, DICE didn’t need to introduce Specialists in a Battlefield game given how the franchise already used classes to assign different roles for each gamer’s playstyle. And when you see the announcement that  the studio is rolling back Specialists to be more like classes, well, that’s a sign that even they know they messed up.

It’s up in the air whether Battlefield 2042 can still be saved or not, but at the very least, it looks like the franchise is in good hands with Zampella.

“Warpaws” Tactical RTS Pitting Cats vs. Dogs Announced, Watch the Trailer for Pet Mayhem

  by   Alex Co  
7:27 pm in News

At today’s “Realms Deep 2022” digital showcase by 3D Realms, the company announced “Warpaws” a tactical real-time strategy featuring cats and dogs duking it out in an alternate world using World War 2-inpsired weaponry.

In development by Slipgate Ironworks, 2B Games, and by publisher Fulqrum Publishing, Warpaws is set to be released on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and PC in Q1 2023! Check out the reveal trailer below.

Here’s more about the game (via Steam):

Who’s better, cats or dogs?

Warpaws is a real-time strategy game where dogs and cats duke it out in a lighthearted alternate world using WWII-inspired armaments. Wage all-out war, shown through the lens of classic, cartoon-inspired art with slapstick humour. Will you achieve military purrfection or will your soldiers live through a ruff day in hell?

Inspired by the legendary Z

Unleash strategic carnage in five battle-torn biomes. Deploy spies for stealthy showdowns, send bazooka-wielding soldiers to dominate skirmishes on sand dunes, or assemble a mix of gunners, engineers, and fiery pyros suited for any engagement. Each unit stands on its own; instead of replacing them with direct upgrades, all characters have their own specialties.

Primary objective: Have fun!

Battle through a single-player campaign or compete against other players in a variety of multiplayer modes. Call upon a trusted ally and take down AI forces in a co-op mode, duke it out in online versus mode matches, or become the King of the Hill champion. Master each map type — Desert, Polar, Lava, City, Islands — and take advantage of their different terrain. Destroy frozen lakes to drown platoons, lead opponents into snowstorms, or even trick them into swimming with sharks.

Key Features

  • FUN as a priority, both in gameplay and art-style
  • Play as either cats or dogs
  • Easy to learn, difficult to master deep tactical gameplay
  • Focus on units management, no resources or complicated base-building
  • Capturing strategic points on the map opens new units and other advantages
  • Destructible environment elements
  • Environmental hazards that can turn the tide of battle
  • Comprehensive single-player campaign including animated comedic cutscenes
  • Various multi-player modes, including coop, PvP skirmishes and King of the Hill
Warpaws will feature a single-player campaign, and a variety of multiplayer modes. Players can expect a co-op mode, online versus mode, King of the Hill, and more.

Sony Confirms PSVR Games Won’t Be Compatible With PSVR2

  by   Alex Co  
6:36 pm in News

If you bought a PlaySation VR (PSVR) for the PS4, and hoping that you’ll be able to play your old VR games on the PS5 once the PSVR2 is released, think again! Sony has confirmed that the PSVR games won’t be compatible with PSVR2!

This was confirmed by Hideaki Nishino, SVP of Platform Experience of the PSVR2 during a podcast conducted by Sony. 

Q: I’ve been getting some questions from some friends, from some gamers, just about whether or not they will be able to play original Playstation VR games on Playstation VR 2; so, what say you?

Nishino: PSVR games are not compatible with PSVR2 because PSVR2 is designed to deliver a truly next-generation VR experience.PSVR2 has much more advanced features like all-new controllers that have haptic feedback, adaptive triggers — as I’ve said — and inside out tracking, eye tracking in it, studio’s audio (?) coming together, so this means that developing games for PSVR2 requires a whole different approach than the original PSVR.

You can listen to the podcast below (part about the PSVR2 not compatible with PSVR games is around the 29:10 mark).

While I assume that most people that buy the PSVR2 will buy it play the new games for it, this is still a bummer; especially for those who built a nice collection of PSVR games and were hoping to play them on PSVR2 with better tech.

Will this dissuade you from buying a PSVR2? Let us know down in the comments. The PSVR2 is set for release in “early 2023” according to Sony. Check out gameplay footage of Resident Evil Village, and more games running on PSVR2 right here.

Hollow Knight: Silksong PS4, PS5 Release Confirmed

  by   Salman Haider Zaidi  
6:13 pm in News

Great news for fans of the 2D Soulslike Hollow Knight, as Sony has confirmed that Hollow Knight: Silksong will be coming to the PS5 and PS4 too!

After an initial announcement back in February 2019 with a gameplay trailer and another gameplay trailer back in June along with confirmation of a day one Xbox Game Pass release, it has finally been confirmed that Hollow Knight: Silksong will come to the PS5 and PS4 as well.

Hollow Knight: Silksong is a sequel to the 2017 Metroidvania game Hollow Knight. The game will follow Hornet, an important side character from the original title, as she ascends the kingdom of Pharloom. Hornet, a lethal hunter, is faster and more agile than the original game’s Knight, and uses tools like bombs and spiked balls instead of Charms. “Silk” is used instead of Souls for healing and abilities. Two new currencies, “Shell Shards” and “Rosaries,” have been introduced to the game. Shell Shards are used to craft and repair tools, while Rosaries are used to buy goods and consumables. The game also features a four-category quest system, and currencies will be lost upon death to be recovered at the player’s expense in true Soulslike fashion.

About the game (via Steam):

Play as Hornet, princess-protector of Hallownest, and adventure through a whole new kingdom ruled by silk and song! Captured and brought to this unfamiliar world, Hornet must battle foes and solve mysteries as she ascends on a deadly pilgrimage to the kingdom’s peak.

Hollow Knight: Silksong is the epic sequel to Hollow Knight, the award winning action-adventure. As the lethal hunter Hornet, journey to all-new lands, discover new powers, battle vast hordes of bugs and beasts and uncover ancient secrets tied to your nature and your past.

Team Cherry’s Hollow Knight: Silksong is slated for a 2023 release for Windows, macOS, Linux, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. It was confirmed as a day one Xbox Game Pass title in the June Xbox Showcase.

Check out a preview of Hollow Knight: Silksong’s soundtrack on Bandcamp while you wait, or watch 20 minutes of gameplay showcased at E3 2019!

Modern Warfare 2 FOV Slider and In-Game Connection Meter Confirmed for Consoles

  by   Alex Co  
1:23 pm in News

The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 beta is now live for those with early access, and is on PS4 and PS5! With that said, we’ve dived into the game’s settings, and can confirm that there is a Modern Warfare 2 FOV (field of view) slider in the game! 

In addition to that, we’ve also taken a screenshot of the graphics settings available in the beta, which we’re assuming will also be available in the retail release build.

As you can see, the Modern Warfare 2 graphics settings are a lot more extensive than the previous Modern Warfare game released in 2019. We now have “on-demand texture streaming,” “allocated texture cache size” and more. 

In addition to that, there is now also an in-game connection meter available! While you can see your ping in Modern Warfare 2019, you had to do it in the menus, which leaves you open to be mowed down while you’re checking it (or you can also check it while respawning and such, too). However, in Modern Warfare 2, you can now see it in the match.

Here’s how to turn on the Modern Warfare 2 connection meter:

  • Go to options, scroll down until you see “Interface”
  • Go to “Interface,” scroll down and you’ll see a Connection Meter on/off button. 
  • Click it on, and that’s it!

Unfortunately, for those hoping it would show up as the meter beside your username in the in-game scoreboard, that’s not the case. Instead, you’ll see appear in your HUD (of sorts). Here’s what it’ll look like in-game:

After playing with this on, I can say it’s not really distracting or anything, and the pros outweigh the cons (at least to me).

Stay tuned to our Modern Warfare 2 beta impressions hitting the site soon.

  by   Farrukh Jafri  
1:09 pm in News

Those seeking for the latest reward in Destiny 2’s weekly PvP mode, MP1st is here to bring the new Destiny 2 Trials of Osiris rewards and map this week September 16, 2022 edition!

New Destiny 2 Trials of Osiris Rewards This Week September 16, 2022:

Trials of Osiris Map

Midtown

Rewards

  • Reputation Rank 4: Upgrade Module (2)
  • Reputation Rank 7: Enhancement Prism (3)
  • Reputation Rank 10: Trials Weapon (Changes for each rank reset)
  • Reputation Rank 13: Upgrade Module (2)
  • Reputation Rank 16: Trials Weapon (Changes for each rank reset)
  • Flawless Reward: Forgiveness (Adept)

Reputation System, Trials Engrams, and Adept Farming

Win individual rounds within each match to gain Trials reputation. The amount of reputation you gain increases with each round you’ve won on your card. Earn enough reputation, and you’ll be able to claim a Trials Engram from Saint-14! This engram can be focused into any currently available trials loot you have previously obtained, or it can be taken to Master Rahool for a random Trials drop. Your reputation increases after every match completion, based on the number of round-wins on your card, regardless of the result of that match itself (win or lose, 0-5 or 5-4).

Once you have gone Flawless, keep playing! Every win you achieve while at the 7-win level, even if you lose your Flawless, has a chance to drop bonus Trials Engrams, adept weapons, prisms, and even Ascendant Shards. There is no penalty for losing once you’ve made it to the Lighthouse!

When you’re done, you can cash in your 7-win passage for one additional adept drop, granted you have gone Flawless that week. This resets your card so you can start anew.

Passages

Name Perk Cost
Passage of Ferocity Your third match win grants a bonus win. 10000 Glimmer & 15 Legendary Shards
Passage of Mercy Forgives one loss per run. 10000 Glimmer & 15 Legendary Shards

Xûr, Agent of the Nine, is a strange vendor who randomly appears in a Public Sector on one of the Worlds. Xûr sells Exotic equipment and only takes Legendary Shards in exchange for them.

TL;DR: He’s the Santa Claus of Destiny and every weekend is Christmas. Sometimes he brings you what you want, sometimes he brings you coal. Mostly it’s coal.

When does Xûr visit?

Xûr visits every Friday at 17:00 UTC and departs at Weekly Reset (Tuesday 17:00 UTC). If you would like to see all the live conversions of Time Zones, please follow this link here.

Overwatch 2 Battle Pass, Hero Unlocks, Season 1 Explained

  by   Alex Co  
12:01 pm in News

With Overwatch 2’s launch fast approaching, Blizzard has decided to drop an inf0-filled explanation of Overwatch 2’s Battle Pass system, how heroes will be rolled out, the in-game shop, Season 1 plans and loads more!

While we already know that loot boxes won’t be a part of Overwatch 2, the game’s in-game shop will feature a “Just for You” section that will be personalized based on what the player prefers to play and equip in-game. There will also be rotating bundles too, which will feature different items and will also feature special occasions and moments. For the first few seasons, the Just for You shop and rotating bundles will feature items from the first Overwatch to allow players to catch up to what they missed.

Overwatch 2 Battle Pass, Hero Unlocks, Season 1 Explained

As for the Battle Pass, it’ll feature a free and premium track, which is similar to most multiplayer games that feature a Battle Pass.

Introducing the Season One Battle Pass

It’s already known that any new Overwatch 2 hero released for the season will be featured in the free Battle Pass track, but for those who buy the premium track, they will instantly unlock the new hero. In Season 1, everyone who logs in will receive Junker Queen and Sojourn automatically, and those who own the first Overwatch will receive the new hero Kiriko through the Founder’s Pack, which needs to be redeemed by logging in before the end of Season 2.

The Overwatch Season 1 Battle Pass will feature the following unlockable free rewards in 20 tiers spread throughout the 80+ total tiers:

  • Newest support hero, Kiriko (for new players who won’t have her already)
  • 2 Epic Skins
  • 1 Weapon Charm
  • 2 Souvenirs
  • 1 Highlight Intro
  • 14 additional items (emotes, victory poses, name cards, sprays, player icons, etc.)
  • Prestige Tier Titles (8 earnable titles available only after completing the entire pass)

The Season 1 Premium Battle Pass:

Every new season, Blizzard will release a Premium Battle Pass Track which will house even more rewards. 

The Premium Battle Pass features 60 additional (for a total of 80) tiers to unlock, including our first ever Mythic-tier skin and many other premium cosmetic items. If the season features a new hero, purchasing the Premium Battle Pass will also grant instant access to that hero in addition

The Overwatch 2 Season 1 Premium Track will provide instant access to Kiriko for new players, and will contain over 60 cosmetics to unlock, which includes six all-new Legendary skins and the all-new Cyber Demon Genji Mythic skin.

premium%20bp.jpg

In total, Season One’s Premium Battle Pass includes, in addition to all the free rewards above, the following unlockable rewards:

  • Immediate access to Kiriko
  • 20% XP Battle Pass Boost
  • 1 Mythic Skin
  • 5 Legendary Skins and 1 Epic Skin
  • 3 Play of the Game Intros
  • 4 Weapon Charms
  • 3 Emotes
  • 3 Souvenirs
  • 6 Poses
  • 6 Name Cards
  • 30+ additional cosmetic rewards

The Premium Battle Pass will cost 1000 Overwatch Coins (equivalent of $10 USD) – those coins can be purchased directly or also earned over time by completing weekly challenges. Watchpoint Pack owners  will automatically unlock Season One’s Premium Battle Pass.

New Heroes

According to Blizzard, new Overwatch 2 heroes will debut for everyone at tier 55 on the free track of the Battle Pass (for those on  the premium track, the hero will be unlocked instantly). Also, for new heroes, there will be a delay in introducing them into Competitive modes for a few weeks. This will allow Blizzard to tune their balance if needed, and will also give players time to experiment with the hero.

New Overwatch 2 heroes are expected to drop every alternate season except for Season 1 and Season 2, which will each feature a new hero. After that, Blizzard plans to release a new hero in Season 4 and then in Season 6.

New Maps and Limited-Time Events

In addition to the already announced new maps for Overwatch 2—Circuit Royal, Colosseo, Midtown, New Queen Street, and Paraíso —Season One will also introduce a new push map set in Portugal, Esperança. All maps are available to everyone, and, moving forward, a new map will generally be introduced every alternate season.

We’ll also revisit past limited-time game modes and welcome new ones as early as Season One, which will include the new “Wrath of the Bride” Junkenstein event. We’ll have more to share about Season One’s event soon.

Finally, the PvE portion of Overwatch 2 will be released in 2023, and more details about it will be shared in the coming months.

You can check out the full FAQ regarding Season 1 of Overwatch 2 right here.

Wo Long Fallen Dynasty PvP, Photo Mode, Performance and Resolution Modes Confirmed

  by   James Lara  
7:49 am in News

In case you missed the news, the Wo Long Fallen Dynasty demo is now live across both the PS5 and Xbox Series, giving Team Ninja fans a first taste of what’s to come from their newest title next year. While the demo is focused mostly on testing both the single-player and co-op side of the game, tucked away in the settings is a confirmation that Team Ninja is finally returning to some PvP action. Yep, that’s right, Wo Long Fallen Dynasty will feature PvP!

Unfortunately, the PvP mode in Wo Long is currently inaccessible for this demo. However, judging from the option, it seems that the PvP will play similar to that of the Souls series, where players can invade other player’s games. 


This is different than in Nioh, Team Ninja’s previous game where the PvP mode was a dedicated 1v1 mode where players would matchmake with one another, rather than invading or being invaded mid game. This will certainly be interesting to see, and hopefully there’s an option for players to turn off invasions should they not want it. 

Elsewhere, another locked feature in the game dubbed “Photograph” seemingly confirms that the game will feature a photo mode of some sort.

Again, with it being locked we don’t know exactly what kind of options it’ll have, but it wouldn’t be too far off to assume it’ll be similar to the ones found in both Nioh games. 

And finally, for those wondering, Wo long features a resolution and performance mode on both the PS5 and Xbox Series. It doesn’t detail exactly what each mode runs at, but we assume with resolution it’s a form of 4K (native or upscaled) and performance aiming at 60fps, and/or potentially 120fps when running in VRR. Unfortunately there doesn’t appear to be any additional modes outside of that, though the final release may have more.

A Wo Long Fallen Dynasty demo is now available worldwide, with its release scheduled for early 2023.
