More on Trophy System

When we released Vanguard last year, our initial tuning on Lethal Equipment deemphasized their lethality in combat, focusing our combat on gun skill. With new explosive equipment added in Seasonal updates and clear player feedback indicating its appeal, it became apparent that the Trophy System should make its debut.

Upon deployment, the Trophy System will protect its immediate radius from the following incoming and pre-established items for a limited time. Notably, the Throwing Knife is an exception to these defenses due to the high-risk, high-reward nature of this Lethal Equipment.

  • Incendiary Grenade
  • Sticky Bomb
  • MK2 Frag Grenade
  • Gammon Bomb
  • Thermite
  • Demolition Charge
  • Molotov Cocktail
  • No. 69 Stun Grenade

  • Trophy System
  • Jammer
  • Field Mic

Bundles & Cosmetics

    • VFX and Animation pass completed for Weapon Blueprints, Finishing Moves, Charms, and other Bundle items.

Into the Starfield Episode 3 Flies Through the Sound & Music of the Game

  by   MP1st Staff  
10:50 am in News

For the Into the Starfield episode 3 of their ongoing series, Audio Director Mark Lampert and Starfield Composer Inon Zur walk us through the sound and music for the next-gen RPG! Check out the short ViDoc below to see the new heights Starfield will take us once it finally releases this November.

The six minutes of footage for Into the Starfield episode 3 goes through the journey of sound as you make your way to the beyond in Starfield:

“Starfield is the most ambitious project I’ve ever worked on,” says Zur. “It’s a vast game about a vast place, but more than anything else it’s bravely asking big questions—philosophical questions and important questions—that usually people don’t bother or dare to ask.”

The second episode of the series, “Made for Wanderers,” discussed the studio’s approach to the next-gen RPG, and includes words from director Todd Howard. You can check it out for yourself here.

Starfield arrives exclusively on Xbox Series X|S and PC on November 11, 2022. It will be available Day One on Xbox Game Pass.

Report: PlayStation Plus May 2022 Games Leaked, Here Are the Titles (UPDATE)

  by   MP1st Staff  
9:31 am in News

It appears that the PlayStation Plus games for May 2022 have leaked online, as is usually the case with the service. If true, the lineup is extremely decent as well, and members will do well to not miss it. Check out the rumored PS Plus games for May 2022 below.

Reported by a user on the French site Dealabs, it appears that the three PS Plus games headed to the platform next month are:

  • FIFA 22 (PS4 | PS5)
  • Curse of the Dead Gods (PS4)
  • Tribes of Midgard (PS4 | PS5)

You’ll remember that Dealabs also leaked the April 2022 PS Plus lineup, so it stands to reason that their reports are quite accurate.

The user who posted the leak also had this to say (translated via Google Translate):

Hello everyone,

It seems that this month will delight a good part of PS5 / PS4 players (Even if the last 2 games are very good)

Yes, for the first time in the history of Playstation Plus, a FIFA game will be part of the list of games of the month, and not just any given that it will be the last (and the last to bear this name apparently) .

Just as is with everything unconfirmed and rumored, take everything with a grain of salt until officially confirmed. That said, Wario64 have brought up the rumor over on Twitter, which may lend some credence to its viability.

Update: Sony has now confirmed the lineup of games, as you can check out below. According to Sony, all the games will be available on May 3.

FIFA 22 | PS5, PS4***

Powered by Football, EA Sports FIFA 22 brings the game even closer to the real thing with gameplay advances across every mode. Build your dream squad in Ultimate Team, Create Your Club in Career Mode, and express yourself in style on the streets with reimagined Volta Football gameplay. Enjoy local or online competitive multiplayer matches on PS4 and PS5****, while the power of PS5 makes every match even more real with groundbreaking next-gen HyperMotion technology. With big innovation all over the pitch, it’s time to start your FIFA 22 season!

PlayStation Plus members can kickstart their brand-new Ultimate Team or bolster their existing squad with the PlayStation Plus FUT Pack for FIFA 22 Ultimate Team. This pack includes 11 players rated 82 or above to help build your dream squad in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team, as well as an Icon Moments Loan Player Pick, allowing you to choose between some of the best ballers in history and add one of three to your squad for five games.

Tribes of Midgard | PS4 & PS5

Tribes of Midgard blends survival and ARPG genres into a colorful co-op**** or solo experience set within the universe of Norse mythology. As an Einherjar, returned to life by Odin himself, you and your tribe of up to 10 players will need to defend the Seed of Yggdrasil from evil forces set on bringing about Ragnarök. Together, you will have to venture out and explore the wilderness of Midgard to gather the resources, materials, and hidden treasures essential to forging new weapons, epic armor, and fortifying your village. Your greatest threats lie hidden throughout Midgard in the form of giants and great beasts of Norse legend. Will you be able to conquer these forces, save the Seed, and escape before the onset of Fimbulwinter?

Curse of the Dead Gods | PS4 

In this skill-based, single player roguelike, explore an accursed temple, a seemingly-infinite labyrinth of bottomless pits, deadly traps, and monsters. Your greed will lead you to death, but that is not an escape. Rise to fight again. Collect mystical Relics and an arsenal of weapons to make yourself unstoppable, but each powerful curse can be a double-edged sword, creating unique curses that influence your playstyle on every attempt. Defy the malignant deities that linger in this place. Battle through hordes of enemies in dark, cavernous passages filled with traps and secrets of all sorts – fire-spewing statues, explosives, hidden spikes, and worse.

Per Steam users:

Just a wee bit more than that: new .exe’s, sc/launcher, ‘new’ update.rpf, an actual new file – update2.rpf, and 2 dlcpacks- mpg9ec and patchdayg9ecng

Prepare for more spam of scripthook/mods broke posts from those that didn’t prepare.

Yeah looks like they actually did some more stuff. I.e. they changed hide options in interaction menu to map blip options like in “E&E”. And removed option to hide everything for no reason…

We’re currently looking for the specific changes made with this title update, and we’re also expecting Rockstar to release the official patch notes later today. Once we know more, we’ll be sure to update the post.
