There are six Mistfall Hunter classes you can chose from, and the best really depends on how you want to play. There are clear contenders for a best starter to get you into the game, but whether you want direct combat, ranged options, or magic plays into your choice.

There's a recognizable mix of fighters, magic users, stealthy types, rogues, and tanks, each with their own quirks. To figure out what's going on with each takes a little experimenting. Fortunately I've been trying them all out, so I can pass on my opinions of everything available to help you decide what might be best for you.

This is all based on the starter loadouts for the time being, without any levelling up or extra skills. Obviously some of these characters will evolve as you develop them but you're not doing that until you get some experience under your belt with something that works for you off the bat. So here are your options.

Mistfall Hunter best starter classes

Like most of these games the best starter class is the basic fighter, the Mercenary. They have a good mix of mobility, offense, and defense, letting you learn the ropes with the most accommodating set of skills to help you stay alive.

• S Tier
  • Mercenary
• A tier
  • Blackarrow
  • Sorcerer
• B tier
  • Withered Knight
• C Tier
  • Shadowstrix
  • Seer

After the Mercenary, the Blackarrow and Sorcerer options are good, focusing on ranged attacks that keep you at a safe distance. Of the two I'd say the Blackarrow archer is the best in terms of keeping up the pressure on your feet, although all their attacks are basically 'firing an arrow' so it can get a bit samey. The Sorcerer on the other hand has a little more variety but takes a little longer with its charged attacks and cooldowns, and has a stamina draining dodge that can leave you exposed if you overuse it.

The Withered Knight is a good option, as it can laydown some serious damage, but it's probably one of the tougher classes to master with slow, broad attacks that need patience and care to land. So, a good option if you're willing to put in the practice.

The Shadowstrix and Seer are at the bottom of my Mistfall class tier list because they either don't really stand out or need some work to realize their potential. The Shadowstrix is a stealthy, rogue-like option that feels a little flail-y once you've blown cover. Meanwhile, the Seer has some interesting potential but requires a lot of strategy and planning to build up its abilities.

If you want to change class, experiment, and try a few out, you can talk to Dew, and there's a practice ground to test things without any real risk. There's a minimal cooldown involved, but nothing that will stop you swapping around to see how some of the other options play.

All Mistfall Hunter classes

Below are all of the Mistfall Hunter classes and my opinion on then. This isn't in order or preference, just how they appear in-game. Having played around with all of them, I've gathered together some pros and cons, and what I think of them.

Mercenary

The Mercenary is fast and nimble fighter with a quick dodge and a shield to help avoid taking damage. As a class, it sacrifices a high damage output for speed and versatility - letting you dip and weave around enemies while landing a constant rain of blows. There's also a damaging shield dash to close distances. Attacking stacks a Sword Tip effect that then lets you use a Stacked Slash when you accumulate enough to do more damage. You also have the option to change to a giant hammer which swaps the speed and protection of the sword and shield for harder hitting attacks and has the chance to build a Super Armor effect that negates stagger.

Sorcerer

The sorcerer uses ranged attacks to deal damage and add elemental effects to enemies. Their main offense to start with is a fireball, and a windcraft spell that knocks enemies back and hurts them. They can also use a frost attack to damage and slow opponents. Because they are best at range, they also have a far reaching (but stamina sapping) teleport dodge that can get them well out of the reach of danger, although it runs out fast. As they're maybe not the best at charging into battle headfirst, there's also a Phantom Step spell that silences their footsteps and cancels fall damage, giving you some more options to get around. They're good if you're patient and can maintain distance.

Blackarrow

This is a fast paced, ranged archer that specialises in a constant flurry of arrows using distance and a diving roll to avoid taking any damage back. As well as firing basic arrows that can be charged for more damage and range, you can also use a full auto Volley to fire five arrows in quick succession, as well as a shotgun like Scattershot blast that fires seven arrows in a wide arc. You can also switch to a limited amount of Steel Arrows that pierce enemies, and Storm-imbued arrows that cause stagger and knock back effects. I found this option an easy and very safe class in terms of survivability, thanks to the range involved, but it is a little dull to play as all your attacks are basically just 'firing an arrow'.

Shadowstrix

The Shadowstrix can switch between a dagger and dual blades, focusing on a stealthy, backstabbing, poisoning style of play. With the dagger, you can access an invisibility skill to get close to an enemy as well as a poison attack that deals damage and reduces a target's dodge and movement. The single dagger is very much for opening up an attack from stealth, while the Dual Blades is more for the direct combat that follows, with a highly mobile range of dancing combos that string together multiple attacks, or launch them at a distance. You also have a Crow Storm attack that works like a ranged spell to slow and damage enemies. It's a fast character with longer attacks that take a little skill to master so that you're not waving your blades wildly into thing air.

Seer

The Seer is probably the hardest option to start with as it relies on casting runes to deal real damage, while using minor magic attacks to charge the power needed to do that. Their basic attack is a Psionic Orb that doesn't do a huge amount on its own and instead is more about building Psionic Energy you can then use to fire charged orbs and cast runes: there's a Punishment Rune that acts like a turret, firing at the enemy with the lowest health; and a Burst Rune that acts like a landmine - marking enemies that touch it and dealing damage after a delay when the mark 'bursts'. This is very tactical class that requires forward planning to get the most out of it.

Withered Knight

The Withered Knight is a slow and heavy hitting option, with long, broadly animated attacks that can sail past enemies if you miss. They need precision and care to land blows but can stack that damage to build a 'Wither' finisher that can be detonated for even more damage. They can also switch to a polearm and shield combo that trades damage for protection but requires a great deal of precision to land its narrow attacks. This is very much a powerful, slow moving tank that can hit incredibly hard if you master its longer movement and attack wind ups, but probably not the best for beginners.

Hirosaki Castle in Forza Horizon 6 is in the Takashiro Region, and you need to take a photo with it for one of this week's winter challenges in the Italian Exotics Festival Playlist Series. While the castle grounds are quite easy to find on the map, you've still got to find the castle, and be driving a Classic Sports Car to complete the photo challenge. With that, I've explained everything you need to know to complete this Forza Horizon 6 challenge, including the location of Hirosaki Castle.

Forza Horizon 6 Hirosaki Castle location

Hirosaki Castle is in the eastern half of the Takshiro Region of Forza Horizon 6, almost directly north of Soni Circuit. On the map, the castle grounds are quite easy to spot, appearing as a large grey-brown rectangle with an orange road and white road surrounding it. The Hirosaki Castle itself is the white square in the southeast corner of the grounds.

To complete the photo challenge, you need to snap a photo of a Classic Sports Car with the castle itself. You can use Forza Horizon 6 fast travel to reach the road surrounding the castle, but then you need to find one of the ways into the grounds and make your way to the castle.

You also need to be in a Classic Sports Car, so open the 'Change Car' menu, press Y to bring up the Filters menu, then toggle on Classic Sports Cars under the Car Type header. Close the Filters menu and then choose an appropriate car from your garage. Obviously if you don't have any Classic Sports Cars, you'll need to buy one. You could also drive the 1971 Nissan Skyline 200GT-R, which is one of the Forza Horizon 6 Barn Finds.

Once you've got the right car and are in position, open Photo Mode and snap a quickshot with RB to complete the Photo Challenge. For your efforts, you'll get two Festival Playlist points for the winter season and a White Suit for your Drivatar. Remember, like the Forza Horizon 6 Hokubu Treasure Hunt for this winter season, you've only got until 2:30pm UTC on August 6 to complete this challenge!

The Gears of War E-Day multiplayer beta gives you a chance to try out the upcoming game for free while allowing the dev team at The Coalition a chance to see how it handles under stress. I'd call that a win-win.

If you want to join in and check out the multiplayer aspect of the upcoming game, here's how to gain access to the latest Gears of War beta, including the dates and times the server is open to all.

Gears of War E-Day beta dates

The Gears of War: E-Day Multiplayer Beta goes live across two weekends: August 6 - 10, and August 13 - 17, 2026. The first is for players with early access, while the second weekend is open for everyone.

The beta is focussed solely on the multiplayer aspect of the new Gears of War game, including the brand-new Horde Siege mode, which is "an Evolution of Gears' Iconic PvE Mode", featuring 12 players split into smaller squads, each playing cooperatively against the harsh and demanding environment.

You'll be able to try this and of course PvP in both weekends of the beta, so if you want to know how to get involved, read on.

How to join the Gears of War E-Day beta

To get early access to the Gears of War E-Day beta, you must pre-order the game or have an active Game Pass Ultimate or PC subscription. This does mean that there is technically a cost to playing early, but if you already have Game Pass Ultimate, you're in.

Unfortunately, this does mean that those on Game Pass Premium or Essential won't get early access, but you can upgrade your subscription level if you so wish. You can do this or purchase the game any time before the early access beta ends on August 10 to get in.

If you'd rather not make the commitment to the game or Game Pass Ultimate or PC just yet, then you can still participate in the beta during the second weekend, simply by downloading the beta on Xbox or PC nearer the time.

If you're not on PC or Xbox and are wondering about those Gears of War PS5 rumors, we've got a separate article for you.

The Forza Horizon 6 Hokubu Treasure Hunt for the winter season of the Italian Exotics Festival Playlist Series is in quite an obscure place on the map, with the photo clue giving you very little to go off. If you don't know where those big hay bale scarecrows can be found in Forza Horizon 6, then you're going to have a tough time scouring the region for this treasure chest. To help you find and smash it, I've laid out the exact location of this Treasure Hunt in Forza Horizon 6 below.

Forza Horizon 6 Hokubu Treasure Hunt location

The Forza Horizon 6 Treasure Hunt chest in the Hokubu is found on the northwestern side of the Shikisai-No-Aka flower fields, which is roughly in the middle of the region.

The treasure chest itself is in a car park between the highway road that goes around the north side of the flower fields and the white road that goes through them. There's a small garage building by this car park and the treasure chest is next to it, overlooking the snow-covered fields. It's a spot you can’t use Forza Horizon 6 fast travel to reach directly, but you can get close. Once you're there, smash into the treasure chest for an easy 100,000 Credits, making it a great way to get some Forza Horizon 6 money.

This Treasure Hunt in FH6 isn't around for long as it's part of the limited-time Festival Playlist activities for the winter week. That means you've got until 2:30pm UTC on August 6 to destroy the chest, otherwise the season will change to spring and a new set of challenges will take over. You've also got until the same date and time to complete the Forza Horizon 6 Hirosaki Castle photo challenge!

Will Gears of War E-Day be on PS5 at launch, and if not, is that liable to change any time in the future? The new Gears of War prequel has captured attention since it was announced, but right now Xbox-owned games and their ports have a somewhat on-and-off relation with PlayStation 5, making it hard to know off-hand. Below I'll lay out the details and explain what you can play E-Day on.

Will Gears of War E-Day be on PS5?

No, there will NOT be a PS5 port of Gears of War E-Day, according to current information given to us by Microsoft.

The current plan is for E-Day to be an Xbox exclusive, playable only on the Series X/S and PC. While at some point in the past it appeared as though Microsoft was considering a PlayStation port, that appears to have changed in the wake of variously changing business strategies at Xbox.

This might come as a surprise to some, as recent Xbox games have had a habit of making it to PlayStation sooner or later, with recent years giving us PS5 ports of Starfield, Sea of Thieves, and the upcoming Fable game still planned for simultaneous releases on both consoles. However, Xbox appears to be reconsidering which games it makes ports of, at least when it comes to launch day.

It's possible that we may see a later port of E-Day to PS5 in the future, but there's no guarantee of that, and it certainly won't be at launch day according to current information. If you're determined to see the historic moment where a chainsaw was duct-taped to a machine gun as soon as possible, you'll need access to an Xbox or Gaming PC.

Halo Campaign Evolved Skulls are pretty though to find, usually nestled off the beaten path while some are in utterly obscure places. There are also three per level, so that's a total of 39 to find across the game's 13 levels, and there are even three more that you'll unlock along the way for the Campaign Remix mode.

One helpful thing to know about the Skulls is that they make an ominous, ghostly breathing-like sound when you're nearby - wear some headphones and you might be able to home in by listening out. But some of them are impossible to find even when being thorough, requiring specific conditions to be met and puzzles to be solved, so I've explained how to unlock every Skull in Halo Campaign Evolved below.

Make sure you also look out for the Halo Campaign Evolved Terminals as you explore every level!

Halo Campaign Evolved Pillar of Autumn Skull 1

From Rally Point Alpha, the start of the level.

As soon as soon as you have control of Master Chief, turn around and go to the two large, round containers on the left side of the back of the room. Climb onto these containers, then jump across to the nearby upper walkway. Walk to the other end and you'll find the Speed Limit Skull.

Speed Limit: Disables sprint.

Halo Campaign Evolved Pillar of Autumn Skull 2

From Rally Point Alpha, as soon as the marine says Cortana needs you at the bridge.

The next room the marine leads you into is an armory, and the Magnified Skull is on top of the weapon rack near the middle of the room.

Magnified: The assault rifle now has a 60-round magazine, just like the original.

Halo Campaign Evolved Pillar of Autumn Skull 3

From Rally Point Bravo, after the cutscene where Master Chief meets Keyes at the bridge.

Turn around and go back into the bridge. Head over to the main control area with the glass canopy and the two pilots in their chairs and drop down into the floorspace below them to find the Perspective Skull.

Perspective: Switches to a third-person, over-the-shoulder view.

Halo Campaign Evolved Halo Skull 1

From Rally Point Charlie, at the lifeboat crash site near the cliff edge where the marines are holed up underground.

Before getting into the details for this Skull, it's worth mentioning that it's much easier to get if you play this mission with the Acrophobia Skull active. Otherwise, make sure you DO NOT use any frag grenades while you rescue the marines.

Clear out the Covenant as normal, then head to the upper platform of the main Forerunner spire structure in the middle of the area. Jump onto the small lip on either side of the spire, then walk up the ramp – this will get you into a small nook in the middle of the spire where you can see a hole that leads down into the basement where the marines were hiding.

Standing in this nook, look at one of the corners opposite the hole where the ramp meets part of the spire and chuck a frag grenade into it. As you do, turn around to face the narrow ledge you need to get on top of, then jump just before the grenade explodes. The explosion should then boost you up enough to get on top of the ledge. You can also crouch in mid-air to tuck Chief's legs and help you get up. Walk up the narrow ledge to find the Grunt Funeral Skull at the top.

If you run out of frag grenades, quickly reload to the last checkpoint and you should be able to attempt again. It is possible to do this grenade jump with a plasma grenade, but their more powerful short-range explosion means you'll probably just blow yourself up. Otherwise, if you have the Acrophobia Skull active, you can fly up to the Skull very easily.

Grunt Funeral: When grunts die, they explode like a plasma grenade.

Halo Campaign Evolved Halo Skull 2

From Rally Point Charlie, at the lifeboat crash site near the rockslide.

After rescuing the marines in this area, go to the top of the rockslide area and stand on the largest of the rock formations (this is usually where a marine with a sniper rifle perches). Hop across to the large, grass-covered rock on your right, then jump down to the smaller rock ahead and below. The Floor Is Lava Skull is on this rock.

Floor Is Lava: Take continuous damage whenever you're touching the ground.

Halo Campaign Evolved Halo Skull 3

From Rally Point Charlie, along the river from the final lifeboat crash site in the hills.

Find the river and follow it uphill to until you reach the tall tunnel. Go inside the tunnel and on your left there will be some large rocks. Check next to the largest rock and you'll find the Give & Take Skull floating ominously.

Give & Take: Firing your weapon drains your shield, but damaging enemies recharges your shield.

Halo Campaign Evolved Truth and Reconciliation Skull 1

From Rally Point Alpha, just before using the gravity lift to get inside the ship.

From the grav lift, head up the hill towards the cliff and look for a small tree right on the cliff edge and to the left of a bushier shrub and a much taller tree.

Walk over to this small tree and then look down the cliff and you'll spot the Iron Skull on a tiny ledge. Carefully drop down to collect it. As far as I can tell, there's no way back up, so you have to die or reload your checkpoint.

Iron: Dying while playing solo restart the level. Dying in co-op resets to your last checkpoint.

Halo Campaign Evolved Truth and Reconciliation Skull 2

From Rally Point Bravo, after entering the vehicle bay with some Wraiths lying around.

Run along the upper walkway but rather than going through the door into the corridors leading down, keep going right until you find a Covenant barrel-looking object near the edge of the walkway next to a purple column – this column is the first in a row of three. The Endurance Spec Skull itself is on the furthest column.

To reach this Skull, you need to leap across the columns using the steep bulbous parts as jumping points. Be warned that this can be quite difficult as it's very easy to bounce or slip off the columns. But when you eventually reach the third one, start holding Square/X so that you grab the Skull without having to land on the column properly.

Endurance Spec: UNSC vehicles can't be damaged.

Halo Campaign Evolved Truth and Reconciliation Skull 3

From Rally Point Bravo, after entering the shuttle bay.

Immediately head right to a door which will occasionally open to let Covenant enemies join the fight. When the door opens, run inside and follow the corridor all the way to the other end. You'll find the Foreign Skull on the floor in a corner next to a round, purple hologram.

Foreign: You cannot use Covenant weapons.

Halo Campaign Evolved Silent Cartographer Skull 1

From Rally Point Alpha or Bravo, where the two Hunters are that guard the way to the security system.

The area where you find the Hunter pair features a Forerunner structure in the middle. Walk up the inclined part of this structure and you'll find the Acrophobia Skull at the end near the cliff wall.

Acrophobia: While in mid-air hold the jump button to fly.

Halo Campaign Evolved Silent Cartographer Skull 2

From Rally Point Alpha or Bravo, outside the entrance structure to the Silent Cartographer.

Standing on the platform outside the main entranceway and facing the entrance, look to your right for a hole in the cliff. Head inside to find a small cave tunnel and the Bandana Skull lying in the middle of a patch of light.

Bandana: Gain infinite ammo and grenades (also disables the ability to earn certain achievements).

Halo Campaign Evolved Silent Cartographer Skull 3

From Rally Point Charlie, after going through the previously locked door.

Follow the main objective through the Forerunner facility, including going down to the next floor. You'll then be directed to another stairwell that leads downward with a blue hologram in the gap. Look down this gap and you'll just about be able to spot the Hip Fire Skull on a small corner ledge. Jump down and collect the Skull.

Hip Fire: Disables aiming and scope zoom for all weapons.

Halo Campaign Evolved Assault on the Control Room Skull 1

From Rally Point Bravo, after driving the Scorpion tank across the bridge in the chasm.

Once on the other side of the bridge, turn left and drive the tank to the ice wall at the end of the platform. You'll notice a tall, narrow gap on the right side of this ice wall which is where the IWHBYD Skull (I Would Have Been Your Daddy, in case you're curious) is.

To reach it, turn the tank around and reverse so that the turret is close to the gap. Then get out the tank, climb on top of the turret, and jump to the Skull.

IWHBYD: Rare dialogue becomes more common.

Halo Campaign Evolved Assault on the Control Room Skull 2

From Rally Point Charlie, after reaching the snowy clearing with three large arches but before going through the door to to find the Control Center Ziggurat.

From this door, turn around to look at the three arch structures. Walk up the one on the right and you'll find the Angry Skull right in the middle.

Angry: Enemies fire their weapons faster and more frequently.

Halo Campaign Evolved Assault on the Control Room Skull 3

From Rally Point Echo, upon reaching the bridge next to the Control Center Ziggurat with the Banshees on it.

Walk up to the middle of the bridge and stand on the left where the slope of the ziggurat almost touches the bridge. Jump down this slope and walk down and under the bridge to find the Cowbell Skull perched on a rock.

Cowbell: Objects are more easily moved by physics effects, such as explosions.

Halo Campaign Evolved 343 Guilty Spark Skull 1

From Rally Point Alpha, just after you pass the crashed Spirit dropship.

Follow the path left and up the hill. When you pass the large tree on your left and get to the purple light, start climbing up the rock and dirt bank on the left. The Fog Skull is on top of a small dirt mound on this bank.

Fog: Motion Tracker is disabled.

Halo Campaign Evolved 343 Guilty Spark Skull 2

From Rally Point Bravo, upon finding the insane marine in the Forerunner facility who tries to shoot you.

Kill him. He'll drop the That's Just… Wrong Skull for that.

That's Just… Wrong: Enemies have increased awareness of your presence.

Halo Campaign Evolved 343 Guilty Spark Skull 3

From Rally Point Charlie, at the end of the level where you have to kill the Flood while you wait for evac next to a large Forerunner structure.

Obviously don't kill everything otherwise you'll end the mission. From the Forerunner structure, facing the oncoming Flood, turn left and go around the back of the structure into the dark forest. Keep going until you find a thin felled tree next to a much larger tree.

Climb up to and walk along the felled tree until you can see a large rock formation below. Look down and to your left and you'll spot the They Come Back Skull on this rock.

They Come Back: Flood Combat Forms reanimated by Infection Forms are much more dangerous.

Halo Campaign Evolved The Library Skull 1

From Rally Point Alpha, after going through the service tunnel (when you come out the other side, 343 Guilty Spark will remark on how you survived and Sentinels will arrive to kill the Flood).

From the service tunnel exit, walk forward, then turn around and you'll spot large slopes on either side. Climb up to the one on your left to find the Tilt Skull.

Tilt: Positive and negative damage multipliers are increased (for example, plasma weapons deal even more damage against shields, but even less against health).

Halo Campaign Evolved The Library Skull 2

From Rally Point Bravo, upon reaching the first large door that 343 Guilty Spark must open.

Opposite the door is an area with two large pillars and a small ledge against the wall with a light shining upwards. The Pop Skull is on this ledge. To get to it, climb up one of the slopes near either of the pillars, jump onto a pillar, then jump across to the ledge.

Pop: Shooting Flood enemies in their weakspot causes them to explode.

Halo Campaign Evolved The Library Skull 3

From Rally Point Charlie, after taking the elevator down to the Flood-infested final floor.

Go straight ahead from the lift, down the incline, and through the doorway into some Flood goop-filled corridors. Take the next left, and you'll find the Famine Skull on the floor near a wall of goop.

Famine: Weapons dropped by enemies contain half the ammo.

Halo Campaign Evolved Two Betrayals Skull 1

From Rally Point Alpha, upon grabbing a Banshee after leaving the Control Center.

Fly the Banshee to the top of the Control Center spire, land on it, then grab the Tough Luck Skull near the edge. Be aware that there's no way to get down without dying unless you've expertly landed your Banshee, so you'll have to reload a checkpoint or restart the level.

Tough Luck: Enemies always go berserk, constantly dive out the way, and rarely flee a fight.

Halo Campaign Evolved Two Betrayals Skull 2

From Rally Point Charlie, upon reaching the area with the three arches – the same snowy area where the Angry Skull was in Assault on the Control Room.

This time, walk across the middle arch then bear right into the small dead end of Flood growths. The Black Eye Skull is on a small pile of snow in this area.

Black Eye: Your shields only recharge when you melee enemies.

Halo Campaign Evolved Two Betrayals Skull 3

From Rally Point Charlie, once you reach the snow canyon where you need to commandeer another Banshee.

Fly to the top of the massive tower in the middle of the canyon and land your Banshee on the top. Activate the Forerunner console in the middle to open a door, then fly your Banshee to the landing area in front of the console – not the landing area the objective marker is telling you to go to.

Pass through the now unlocked door here to reach a room full of enemies. Kill everything inside (Flood, stealth Elites and Fuel Rod Gun Grunts), then go to the opposite side of the room to find another console which you can activate to open the nearby door. This leads into a Flood-infested corridor and you need to kill everything in here too so that you can activate another console, letting you into the final room.

Kill everything in this last room (lots of Flood, including Tank Forms), and then collect the Mythic Skull from the enclosure in the middle.

Mythic: Enemies have more health.

Halo Campaign Evolved Keyes Skull 1

From Rally Point Alpha on Heroic difficulty or higher, at the very start of the mission. Fair warning: this is by far the hardest Halo Campaign Evolved Skull to get.

The Catch Skull itself is at the highest point of the gravity lift that takes you into the Truth and Reconciliation ship, but it will disappear if you take too long to reach it.

To get this Skull, you need to speedrun through the opening section of Keyes, sprinting and jumping past every enemy, to get to the grav lift area as quickly as possible (Tip: look up slightly to prevent aim assist from dragging your aim around as you run past enemies!).

Once there, focus on killing the Covenant enemies, most of which will be marked with red icons. I recommend grabbing the Overshield, fighting your way to the grav lift itself, and then standing in it while chucking grenades and shooting at anything that approaches.

Eventually, the gravity lift will pull you up, at which point you need to hold Square/X. Doing so should guarantee that you collect the Skull as soon as you reach the highest point of the lift. To give you an idea of how quick you need to be, I grabbed the Skull in just under three minutes, but it is thankfully still obtainable even if you die and reload at a checkpoint midway through your speedrun.

Catch: Enemies throw and drop more grenades.

Halo Campaign Evolved Keyes Skull 2

From Rally Point Bravo, once you're inside the vehicle bay.

Get down to the main floor of the vehicle bay and head to the open doorway past the Wraiths. Down this corridor, you'll notice a destroyed Wraith and several Covenant containers blocking the way but stick to the left wall and you can crouch-walk under the Wraith. Go to the end of the corridor and you'll find the Blind Skull on the ground next to the locked door.

Blind: HUD and weapons are invisible.

Halo Campaign Evolved Keyes Skull 3

From Rally Point Charlie, after the cutscene where Master Chief removes Flood Keyes' neural lace.

Keep punching Keyes' Flood form until it drops the appropriately named Piñata Skull.

Piñata: Punching enemies makes them drop inert grenades.

Halo Campaign Evolved The Maw Skull 1

From Rally Point Bravo, in the burning cryo storage room.

Head to the far-left corner of the room where the fire, walk up the collapsed walkway, then turn around and jump onto the far support pillar against the wall. The Stowed Reload Skull is on top of this pillar.

Stowed Reload: Weapons reload while stowed.

Halo Campaign Evolved The Maw Skull 2

From Rally Point Bravo, just after destroying the four cores in Engineering.

From the far control panel on the right side of the room as you entered (this is the one that controls Core F), jump down on to the small platform with a box on it that's just below the wide doorway you can leave through. Then drop down to the left onto the narrow walkway, where you'll find the Boom Skull tucked away.

Boom: Explosion radius is doubled.

Halo Campaign Evolved The Maw Skull 3

From Rally Point Charlie, towards the beginning of the Warthog run.

Begin the Warthog run as normal until you reach the first tunnel section. On your right, you'll spot a smaller tunnel with red lights you can drive through as a shortcut. Go through and then keep driving until you find a second tunnel like this, also on your right. Drive halfway through this one, get out the Warthog, then walk over to the scorched wall on your right. The Thunderstorm Skull is on the floor next to this wall.

Thunderstorm: Upgrades the ranks of most enemies.

Halo Campaign Evolved Boarding Action Skull 1

From Rally Point Alpha, after defeating the two Hunters on the upper floor (you can hear this Skull from the very start of the mission but need to make it past this point to collect it).

Instead of going up to where the objective marker directs, go right and follow the walkway and corridors down to the Seraph (the purple spaceship) launch bay.

Go through the door beyond the Seraph and head towards the path with the orange lights on it past the Shade turret and to your right. The Malfunction Skull is on this path.

Malfunction: When you respawn, a random HUD element is disabled.

Halo Campaign Evolved Boarding Action Skull 2

From Rally Point Bravo, after reaching the Elite training room area with the purple tube above.

Rather than going through the purple tube as the objective marker directs, head left along the upper floor towards two open doors. Go through the one on your left and follow the corridor to emerge onto the upper floor of the room before the training room – there will also be a squad of Elites ahead, so make sure you kill them first.

Next, go straight ahead to the curved pathway that goes around a rock spire, and you'll find the Johnny Ammo Seed Skull there.

Johnny Ammo Seed: When reloading, any remaining ammo in the discarded magazine is lost.

Halo Campaign Evolved Boarding Action Skull 3

From Rally Point Delta, after fighting through the room with the central gravity lift.

Before riding the grav lift up, go through the door to the left of it and follow the corridor to the end to find the Leadhead Skull.

Leadhead: Headshots no longer provide extra damage or instant kills.

Halo Campaign Evolved The Most Dangerous Game Skull 1

From Rally Point Alpha as you need to play through almost the entire level in one go to get this Skull.

To get the Temperamental Skull in The Most Dangerous Game, you need to shoot an invincible gold Elite that appears at three set points during the mission. The problem is that it almost immediately retreats to safety if you start shooting it or get too close. Miss an opportunity to break its shield and you can't collect the Skull later in the level – I recommend holding onto a longer-range weapon, such as the Battle or Needle Rifle to help.

Here are the three places you must shoot the gold Elite and where to find the Skull afterwards:

1. From Rally Point Alpha, after the Brute ambush area. The next area features many tall trees with large leaves and a far-off rock hill. The Elite is at the top of this hill and will retreat into the Covenant building behind it when you start shooting.

2. From Rally Point Bravo, upon reaching the Covenant bridge with a Wraith at the opposite end. Run across the bridge and past the Wraith, then start shooting the Elite. It will very quickly retreat through the doors directly behind it.

3. From Rally Point Charlie, after rescuing the marines from the brig and reach the room with the windows that let you see the packed sarcophagi (this is also very close to this level's Terminal). Head through the exit door into an outside area, then immediately look left and up to spot the gold Elite in an elevated position. Shoot it quickly before it retreats backwards out of sight.

4. If you sufficiently shot the gold Elite in all three areas, the Temperamental Skull can be collected from the same area as above. Kill all the enemies, then go up to the purple spire structure in the middle of the area to find the Skull.

Temperamental: Allies attack you more quickly if you kill a friendly.

Halo Campaign Evolved The Most Dangerous Game Skull 2

From Rally Point Bravo, upon reaching the bridge with the Wraith at the end.

As you step onto the bridge, turn around and shoot the plasma batteries on top of the columns on either side of the large door. This will cause the door to open, letting you grab the Recession Skull on the ground and access an armory of UNSC weapons.

Recession: Every shot fired expends twice as much ammo.

Halo Campaign Evolved The Most Dangerous Game Skull 3

From Rally Point Charlie, after you go through a large door where Johnson, Williams, and Master Chief have a brief conversation.

From the large door you came in through, bear left until you reach a tree with lots of stalagmites next to it. Jump onto the stalagmites, then climb up the jagged cliff, heading towards the large door. The Ghost Skull itself is in the purple flame closest to the cliff, so once you've made it to the flatter side of the cliff, you just need to jump across to the flame and grab the Skull.

Ghost: Enemies don't flinch when shot at.

Halo Campaign Evolved Heavy Burden Skull 1

From Rally Point Alpha, when you reach a bridge across a large chasm.

Rather than crossing the bridge, turn left and go through the next door (be careful as some Elites will attack you from here) and cross the much narrower bridge nearby. The Eye Patch Skull is to the right of the door at the end of this bridge.

Eye Patch: Auto-aiming is disabled for all weapons.

Halo Campaign Evolved Heavy Burden Skull 2

From Rally Point Bravo, when you reach a massive room with several floors as you head back to regroup with Williams.

In this room, you'll notice an elevated circular platform with two purple fire braziers and a cluster of rock spires nearby. The Grunt Birthday Party Skull is on top of the tallest of these spires.

To get to it, you need to get down to this circular platform, hop onto the brazier closest to the rock spires, then sprint and jump across to the top of one of the shorter spires. Then you just need to jump up and hold Square/X to grab the Skull.

Grunt Birthday Party: Killing a grunt with a headshot produces confetti and cheers.

Halo Campaign Evolved Heavy Burden Skull 3

From Rally Point Charlie, after you restore power to the gondola and continue moving.

With the gondola moving again, it will hover into a large room with a bridge, then into a room with a station on either side of the tunnel. The Skull is tucked away in the far-right corner of the station on the left, so you've got to hop off the gondola, sprint to the corner, and grab the Efficient Skull. Unfortunately, this area also has a 'Return To The Battlefield' timer, and the chances of you making it back to the gondola in time are very slim.

Efficient: Enemies killed while you're at full health drop more ammo.

Campaign Remix Skulls

Once you've collected any three Skulls in Halo Campaign Evolved, you'll also unlock three more Skulls – Adaptation, Armistice, and Reload – and the Campaign Remix mode. This mode randomly applies a selection of the Skulls you've collected to a new campaign, except for Adaptation, Armistice, and Reload which are always active in Remix mode. Here's what these Skulls do:

• Adaptation: Randomizes the enemy factions present in a mission.
• Armistice: Enemy factions never fight one another.
• Reload: Randomizes all pre-placed weapons in a mission.

Collecting all of these Skulls will add several hours to how long it takes to beat Halo Campaign Evolved, and they're also one of the major Halo Campaign Evolved changes that the remake introduces.

The long-awaited Helldivers 2 Warhammer 40K Warbond is finally on the horizon, letting Super Earth's finest bring Kasrkin-inspired wargear to bear. You'll be able to deploy into the grim darkness of Helldivers 2 missions with a Hot-Shot Marksman Rifle and iconic Bolt Pistol. And heavier firepower in the form of superhot melta weaponry is also up for grabs and looks rather powerful from what has been shown so far. With that, here's everything you need to know about the upcoming Helldivers 2 x Warhammer 40K Legendary Warbond, including when it comes out and what's in it.

Helldivers 2 Warhammer 40K Warbond release date

The Warhammer 40K Warbond is due to arrive in the Superstore on August 12. The exact release time isn't known but expect it to get added at around 12pm UTC.

Since this Warhammer 40K crossover is a Legendary Warbond like the Helldivers 2 Halo Warbond, it will cost 1,500 Helldivers 2 Super Credits instead of the usual 1,000 – you've still got time to farm enough! And remember that because this is a Legendary Warbond, you can't use Helldivers 2 Warbond Tokens to unlock it instead.

All Helldivers 2 Warhammer 40K Warbond gear

The Warhammer Warbond will contain 18 individual items, including three loadout weapons, two armor sets, and several cosmetics. Currently, not a whole lot is known about the specific functions of each weapon, but I can make some educated guesses based on the Warbond trailer and the tabletop counterparts of the Astra Militarum weapons you'll be able to unlock in-game with your Helldivers 2 Medals thanks to this Warbond.

Here are all the items that will be in the Helldivers 2 Warhammer 40K Warbond:

• Weapons:
  • R/40-K Hot-Shot Marksman Rifle: This is a sniper-style configuration of the Hot-Shot Lasgun, so expect this weapon to be a punchy semi-automatic energy weapon with great range.
  • P/40-K Bolt Pistol: This isn't quite the full-fat bolt pistol that Space Marines use, but it should still be quite powerful, hopefully with decent armor penetration but likely hefty recoil.
  • G/40-K Meltamine: A powerful thermal explosive that looks like it'll serve as a throwable anti-tank mine.
• Stratagems:
  • 40-K Meltagun: Fires a short-range thermal beam with significant armor penetration power.
• Armor:
  • TG-8 Sharpshooter armor and helmet: Medium armor with the True Grit passive, which improves handling for all weapons and increases the reload speed of Helldivers 2 Support Weapons by 30%. This armor set resembles the standard uniform of Kasrkin troopers with a green camouflage pattern.
  • TG-122 Demo-Trooper armor and helmet: Heavy armor also with the True Grit passive. This armor set is made to look like the mine-lobbing Kasrkin demo-trooper in an urban camo scheme.
• Cosmetics:
  • Castellan's Green pattern for all five vehicle types (Hellpods, Shuttle, Exosuits, FRVs, and the Bastion), which appears to be inspired by the dark green camo pattern with off-white and red bars seen on Cadian Rogal Dorn tanks.
  • Camo Cloak Cape
  • Camo Cloak Player Card
  • City Fighter's Resolve Cape
  • City Fighter's Resolve Player Card
  • Still Standing Title

Halo Campaign Evolved Terminals can all be collected with just some thorough searching. With that said, they're still easy to miss in a lot of cases, and don't expect your knowledge of the Terminal locations in Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary to help.

Unlike Campaign Evolved's Skulls, Terminals don't make any obvious noise. Also unlike the Skulls, there are only 13 of them – that's one per Halo Campaign Evolved level – so finding and activating them all for some unlockable lore entries isn’t too much of a chore. To help you find every Terminal in Halo Campaign Evolved, I've laid out all 13 locations below.

There are three Halo Campaign Evolved Skulls to collect in each level too, so keep an eye and ear out for those too.

Halo Campaign Evolved Pillar of Autumn Terminal

From Rally Point Charlie, when going through the upper cryo room with the cracked windows.

This is the room where Cortana says, "it looks like the Covenant wanted to catch you napping". Proceed through the next door, then immediately turn left to find another open door leading into a small room with red lights and lots of screens everywhere. The Pillar of Autumn Terminal in Halo Campaign Evolved is at the far end, which unlocks the Approach entry.

Halo Campaign Evolved Halo Terminal

From Rally Point Bravo, as you drive into the "this cave is not a natural formation" Forerunner tunnel.

Drive through the tunnel until you reach the straight section with two small bumps in the road and a large window on your right. Hop out your Warthog, then jump through the window and carefully drop down to the ledge directly below. You'll find the Halo Terminal, Forgotten, down there.

Halo Campaign Evolved Truth and Reconciliation Terminal

From Rally Point Charlie, as you make your way to the brig to find Captain Keyes after clearing out the ship's command room.

After navigating several corridors after the command room, you'll eventually arrive at a large room with several doors around the perimeter. Go through the one immediately on the right as you enter and you'll find yourself in one of the prison rooms. Use the central console to deactivate the forcefields and then head inside the cell almost opposite the console to find the Truth and Reconciliation Terminal and get the Inquisitor lore entry.

Halo Campaign Evolved Silent Cartographer Terminal

From Rally Point Bravo, just after you shut down the security system.

From the security system console, turn around and head to the outer walkway of this area and look for the extended platform. The Status Update Terminal is behind a small Forerunner structure with two pointy bits.

Halo Campaign Evolved Assault on the Control Room Terminal

From Rally Point Charlie, after you've gone up the ice cave.

When you emerge into the canyon from the ice cave, follow the path to the right, then go through the doorway in the central rock formation on your left.

Head through the door and follow the corridor until you reach a large, empty central rooms. From here, go up the ramp that leads onto a balcony, then look to your right once you get onto the balcony. You'll find the Terminal for Assault on the Control Room, Tangent 1, tucked in the corner.

Halo Campaign Evolved 343 Guilty Spark Terminal

From Rally Point Bravo, after backtracking partway through the Forerunner facility while fighting the Flood.

You'll eventually reach a point on your journey through this facility where you have to go through a door with two large, pale symbols on either side.

Head through and turn left to find a cluster of dead marines and all their gear. From here take the next right to go down a dark corridor where you'll find the Halo Campaign Evolved 343 Guilty Spark Terminal – Tangent 2, which carries on from the last one.

Halo Campaign Evolved The Library Terminal

From Rally Point Bravo, after 343 Guilty Spark opens a large door and you're presented with two consoles, with a prompt directing you to the one on the right.

Ignore the objective and activate the console on the left to open a doorway on the left.

Head through and then go through the small hole in the Flood-infested wall. This will lead you into a small room featuring a dead marine and the Library Terminal, which rounds out the Tangent series into a trilogy.

Halo Campaign Evolved Two Betrayals Terminal

From Rally Point Alpha, right after destroying all the attacking Sentinels.

Rather than heading out the door straight ahead, head right and run around the ring walkway instead. You'll run into the Two Betrayals Terminal here, unlocking the Alone entry.

Halo Campaign Evolved Keyes Terminal

From Rally Point Charlie, when trying to ascend to a higher deck in the shuttle bay.

After dropping off to the ground floor of the shuttle bay, follow the objective marker through the door then right and up the inclined corridor – there are always Flood enemies and two Hunters in here. When you get to the first junction halfway up the corridor, turn left then left again to find the Terminal for Keyes in Halo Campaign Evolved.

Halo Campaign Evolved The Maw Terminal

From Rally Point Alpha, after clearing out the mess hall room.

From the entrance to the mess hall, bear right and you'll find the Arrival Terminal in a nook on top of some UNSC boxes.

Halo Campaign Evolved Boarding Action Terminal

From Rally Point Delta, after you've taken the gravity lift upwards to head for the Triumph of Tolerance's upper decks.

This grav lift will put you right in front of the corridor and doorway you’re meant to go through for the final combat encounter of the mission, but the terminal is behind you. Turn to face the opposite direction and then go through the door on the right to find the Heavy Burden Terminal.

Halo Campaign Evolved The Most Dangerous Game Terminal

Rally Point Charlie, after rescuing the marines from the brig.

Fight through the rest of the ship following the objective markers until you reach a room with several windows on the left that let you see many sarcophagus-like devices in a large room. Instead of going through the next door, head through the one on the right and you'll find a storage room full of UNSC gear, including the Halo Campaign Evolved Terminal for this mission, Penitent Report.

Halo Campaign Evolved Heavy Burden Terminal

From Rally Point Bravo, immediately after the cutscene where Chief and Johnson get the starholo data.

At the start of this Rally Point, you'll be facing a pair of doors on the far side of this room on the ground floor. Go through either of them to reach another pair of doors. Go through either of those doors to get inside a Covenant armory, then go through the next door to reach a relatively small storage room. The Terminal for Heavy Burden is hidden behind the Covenant equipment on the left.

These Terminals are just one of the many Halo Campaign Evolved changes compared to the original. Bear in mind that finding them all is also going to add a fairly significant amount of time to how long it takes you to beat Halo Campaign Evolved too.

How to redeem Anime Astral Simulator codes

Anime Astral Simulator codes aren't case-sensitive, so you only have to worry about getting the spelling right. That said, I'd still recommend just copying and pasting from our list above.

Expired Anime Astral Simulator codes

• 18MVISITS - 1x Damage II Potion, 1x Luck II Potion, 1x Power II Potion, 1x XP II Potion, 1x Yen II Potion, 250x F2P Tickets

Anime Astral Simulator codes do seem to last some time, with even some very old codes still available to redeem right now. However, as the list above shows, some have expired, so you should redeem valid codes as soon as possible just in case.

The Halo Campaign Evolved Skulls and Terminal found in the first level, The Pillar of Autumn, aren't too difficult to find, for the most part. The main issue is that a couple of Skulls are found so early in the game that you'll no doubt run right past them the first time you play. So, to help you find them quickly, I've explained exactly where to find the Terminal and all Skulls in the first level of Halo Campaign Evolved below.

Halo Campaign Evolved Pillar of Autumn Skull 1

From Rally Point Alpha, the start of the level.

At the very start of the level as soon as soon as you have control over Master Chief, turn around and head over to the two large, round containers towards the left side of the back of the room. Climb on top of these containers, then jump across to the nearby upper walkway. Walk to the other end and you'll find the Speed Limit Skull.

Halo Campaign Evolved Pillar of Autumn Skull 2

From Rally Point Alpha, as soon as the marine says Cortana needs you at the bridge.

The next room the marine will lead you into is an armory, and the Magnified Skull is on top of the central weapon rack near the middle of the room.

Halo Campaign Evolved Pillar of Autumn Skull 3

From Rally Point Bravo, after the cutscene where Master Chief meets Keyes at the bridge.

After this cutscene finishes, turn around and head back into the bridge. Go to the main control area with the glass canopy and the two pilots in their chairs and drop down into the floorspace below them. This is where you'll find the Perspective Skull, and there's a ladder you can use to get out.

Halo Campaign Evolved Pillar of Autumn Terminal

From Rally Point Charlie, when going through the upper cryo room with the cracked windows.

You'll know you're in the right room if Cortana says, "it looks like the Covenant wanted to catch you napping". From here, carry on through the next door, then immediately turn left to find another open door leading into another room with red lights and lots of screens. The Approach Terminal is at the far end.

Finding all these collectibles also takes a while, so expect it to add a few hours to how long it takes to beat Halo Campaign Evolved. If you've played Halo CE in The Master Chief Collection, you will have noticed that all the Skulls are in completely different places to that, which is one of the many Halo Campaign Evolved changes.

This Halo 1 remake is out now in early access but the full Halo Campaign Evolved release time is still to come. In the meantime, make sure you've got your Halo Campaign Evolved pre-load sorted.

Your carry capacity and inventory in Dune Awakening starts off limited to 35 slots and 175 pounds of weight, which is a respectable amount, but clearly could be more, especially when you're going on long journeys around the Hagga Basin looking to acquire large amounts of resources. Sadly there's no way at time of writing to directly increase your carry capacity specifically in Dune Awakening, but there are options that can effectively serve a similar purpose, as I'll explain below.

Can you increase your Dune Awakening inventory?

While there's no way at time of writing to increase either the number of slots or the maximum carry capacity weight of your inventory, such as the various Dune Awakening Skills, you can at least move more items around at once by building greater Inventory Modules for various vehicles, and then using those vehicles frequently.

Pretty much all of the Dune Awakening vehicles have a built-in inventory that can be expanded even further by adding an Inventory module to it (researched as normal and then built in the Vehicle Fabricator). There are limits to this, but it serves as a way to transport far greater amounts of items.

The major limitation is that any vehicle with items in its inventory cannot be stored on you using the Vehicle Backup Tool. You need to empty its inventory before you can effectively pocket it, but if you feel brave enough to park your Sandbike or Ornithopter outside a bandit camp or crashed ship, you can then bring the loot you find back to it and store it in the trunk.

It's not been made clear if there'll be new ways to hold more items added to the game in the future, as the choice to make inventory so limited is clearly an intentional one that's part of the whole "struggling survivalist making hard choices" vibe.

There are quite a lot of Halo Campaign Evolved changes compared to the original, including completely new missions and weapons, sprinting, and accessibility options. There are plenty of headline tweaks and differences that Halo Studios have made for this Combat Evolved remake to bring it up to modern standards. But there are lots of other minor changes that might slip past seasoned Halo players. If you're curious about what's new and different from the original, here are all the changes I've noticed in Halo Campaign Evolved.

New Halo Campaign Evolved features

Halo Campaign Evolved includes several major gameplay features that aren't available in the original game or the Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary remaster in The Master Chief Collection:

• Operation Meteorite bonus missions: On top of the remade campaign, this remake features three new prequel missions that tell the story of Master Chief and Sergeant Johnson during Operation Meteorite, adding a few more hours to how long it takes to beat Halo Campaign Evolved. Taking place one year before the events of the campaign, this operation sees the duo infiltrate and investigate a Covenant research vessel. Brutes make an exclusive appearance in these missions, wielding Spikers and Brute Plasma Rifles.
• Campaign Remix: Campaign Remix is a new mode that lets you replay missions with randomized elements, including available weapons, enemy factions, and active Halo Campaign Evolved Skulls. It is unlocked after you collect any three Skulls.
• Four-player online co-op: Halo Campaign Evolved is the only way you can officially play some form of Halo 1 with three other players in online co-op. The game also supports crossplay and cross-progression, so you can play with anyone on any platform and even play on any platform without losing progress. You can also play Campaign Evolved in two-player split-screen on consoles only.
• Difficulty and accessibility settings: The usual Easy, Normal, Heroic, and Legendary difficulty options are still there, but you can also create difficulty presets that adjust things like friendly fire, damage resistance, and shield recharge rate – this is all on top of Skulls too! As for accessibility, there are plenty of changes you can make to the aiming crosshair, HUD, subtitles, input rebinding, and lots more.

New Halo Campaign Evolved weapons, vehicles, and enemies

The Halo Combat Evolved sandbox of weapons and vehicles, as well as the array of enemies you'll face, have been considerably expanded for this remake:

• Expanded weapon sandbox: The Energy Sword, Sentinel Beam, Fuel Rod Gun, SMG, and Needle Rifle have all been added to the main campaign. The Battle Rifle, Brute Plasma Rifle, and Spiker are exclusive to the new bonus missions, and the Needle Rifle is significantly more common in them too.
• You can drive Wraiths now: The Covenant Wraith tank is now pilotable in some levels, such as Assault on the Control Room. Most vehicles can also be hijacked now, but note that this works both ways, so the Covenant can hijack you right back!
• Equipment can be stored and used whenever you like: Unlike in the original where Overshields and Active Camo would activate as soon as you pick them up, Campaign Evolved treats them like Halo 3-style equipment pieces that must be deployed with a button press.
• Jackal snipers have been added (oh god): Jackal snipers are an infamously lethal foe in practically every Halo game except for the first one. Campaign Evolved rectifies this, adding them into plenty of missions.
• Flood Tank Forms join the fight: The large Tank Form Flood, first seen in Halo 3, appear in Campaign Evolved. They're rare and pose quite a serious threat, similar to a Covenant Hunter.

Halo Campaign Evolved gameplay changes

Halo Campaign Evolved also introduces some key gameplay change over the original that mostly serve to modernize the game:

• Sprint: As in Halo Studios' previous games, Master Chief has a dedicated sprint button in Campaign Evolved, letting him get around the ring a bit faster on foot.
• Smart-link aiming: While weapons like the Magnum and Sniper Rifle all had scopes in the original game, now Halo Campaign Evolved weapons benefit from some form of aiming thanks to the smart-link system that Halo 5 Guardians introduced. It essentially amounts to a small amount of zoom (usually 1.4x) that helps you more accurately shoot enemies that are slightly further away than is ideal.
• No health kits: Master Chief's health now regenerates like his shields. The original game's health kits that were necessary for healing Chief are therefore absent in Halo Campaign Evolved.
• Improved waypoints and objective tracking: Objectives and their markers are now almost always visible on screen, helping you stay on mission and navigate levels more easily. You can adjust how these appear if you find them getting in the way.
• Slightly redesigned levels: The Library has received the most significant changes to make it easier to navigate and more varied, with new areas and light bridge mechanics. Otherwise, most levels remain almost entirely the same in terms of layout, with some receiving small tweaks. As an example, the Forerunner cave that you drive the Warthog through in Halo no longer has that weird ramp section and is now just one continuous path.
• Skulls and Terminals: Collectible Skull modifiers and lore-based Halo Campaign Evolved Terminals weren't in the original game but got added for the Combat Evolved Anniversary remaster. For Campaign Evolved there are even more of them to collect, with 42 Skulls (three per level for a total of 39 plus three Campaign Remix ones) and 13 Terminals (one per level). They're also all in different places compared to the Anniversary remaster, so your memories of those won't help.
• No PvP multiplayer: As the Campaign Evolved subtitle suggests, this game features only the campaign – no arena multiplayer.

Halo Campaign Evolved visual and audio changes

The most obvious change of all over the original is the visual overhaul, but there are plenty of other changes to things like dialogue and cutscenes that might go over your head:

• Updated graphics: Halo Campaign Evolved is a complete remake of the original Combat Evolved in Unreal Engine 5, so it benefits from the advanced graphical technology of that engine for stunningly rendered photorealistic textures and lighting. But, as I note in my Halo Campaign Evolved review, it does lead to some typical UE5 performance issues.
• New and altered dialogue and cutscenes: Narratively, Halo Campaign Evolved is the same as the original, but Halo Studios has added and adjusted plenty of dialogue and cutscenes. The new lines are mostly tutorials and explanation from Cortana and other NPCs. Some lines, such as "I don't keep it loaded, son, you'll have to find ammo as you go" from Keyes, and Cortana telling 343 Guilty Spark to "sod off", have been cut, however.
• The original Chief and Cortana voice actors are back…: Steve Downes and Jen Taylor, who voice Master Chief and Cortana respectively, have re-recorded their lines, including some new ones as mentioned above.
• …But Captain Keyes and Sergeant Johnson have been recast: Keith Silverstein, who you may know as Torbjorn from Overwatch, now plays Keyes, while Keston John, who stars in Call of Duty Black Ops 6 and 7 and Yakuza 0 Director's Cut, voices Sergeant Johnson.
• The Covenant now speak English: Elites have various combat barks in human languages that let you know how fervently they fight for the Prophets and the Covenant. It also sounds like Grunt dialogue from Halo 2 and 3 has been repurposed. Overall, there's a lot less "wort, wort, wort".

How long it takes to beat Halo Campaign Evolved isn't all that different from 2001's Halo Combat Evolved, clocking in at roughly 10 hours long. However, this remake of the original packs in a few extras that will add a few hours to your completion time – namely a three-mission bonus campaign and plenty of Skulls and Terminals – though it somewhat depends on what your definition of 'complete' is. With that in mind, here are some estimations for how long Halo Campaign Evolved is based on how much you play.

How long is Halo Campaign Evolved?

The average playthrough for Halo Campaign Evolved is about 10 hours, but with things like difficulty, prior knowledge from the original, and collectibles to find, your completion time is affected by many factors:

• Main campaign: 8-12 hours
• Main campaign + bonus missions: 10-14 hours
• 100% completion: 20+ hours

As mentioned, the core campaign – that's the 10 main missions from The Pillar of Autumn to The Maw – should take you 10 hours, give or take a couple. If you're charging through each mission on Easy difficulty or have played the classic Halo Combat Evolved already, you may even be able to get through it much faster. Conversely if you're committing to a Heroic or Legendary playthrough, plenty of deaths will add up to a couple of extra hours.

The Operation Meteorite campaign, comprising three prequel missions featuring Master Chief and Sergeant Johnson, adds a couple more hours of story content, but you should still get through the whole thing in under 15 hours. I completed all 13 missions on Heroic difficulty in about 13 hours, having also played Combat Evolved a few times before.

Finally, for those that commit to finding all 39 Halo Campaign Evolved Skulls and all 13 Halo Campaign Evolved Terminals spread across each mission, you'll be spending several more hours replaying and scouring each level. If you're going for the Platinum Trophy too, there are plenty of tough challenges that will likely take you multiple attempts to complete, so don't expect a quick and easy walk in the park!

While the run time of the main campaign remains roughly the same. compared to the original game, there are many other Halo Campaign Evolved changes to be aware of.

Halo Campaign Evolved pre-loading is now available for all platforms and all editions, so whether you're on PS5, PC, or Xbox Series X, you can get the game installed now, ready for the full launch. With the early access period still running, many players can still upgrade, download, and start playing right now, but you may as well get set for July 28 instead. With that, I've explained everything you need to get done before Halo Campaign Evolved's full launch, including pre-loading, so that you can dive in as soon as possible.

How to pre-load Halo Campaign Evolved

To start pre-installing Halo, you obviously must have pre-ordered the Standard Edition of the game on your platform of choice. Bear in mind that if you've got the Premium Edition or the Premium Edition upgrade, you can install and start playing the game now before the Halo Campaign Evolved release time thanks to the included early access period.

With the game pre-ordered, your platform's storefront should automatically begin pre-installing the game right away, assuming you have automatic downloads switched on. Otherwise, check the Halo Campaign Evolved page on your platform's store front or your game library and you should be able to start the early download from there. To ensure you have enough space for it, you should have about 100GB of free space on your console or PC's storage.

I also highly recommend making sure you get your Microsoft account details ready – or make an account if you don't have one while you wait – so that you can get your account linked and start playing Halo with minimal hassle. You can't play the game without an account, and it's used to make crossplay and cross-progression function, so you can play Halo Campaign Evolved with whoever and on whatever eligible platforms you have available to you.

The Halo Campaign Evolved release time has almost arrived, letting all players dive in from July 28 and not just those with the Premium Edition. With a global simultaneous release for all platforms, everyone will be able to log into Halo Campaign Evolved from the same time, but that works out as a different time for each region due to time zones. So, if you want to know when you'll be able to start playing, I've laid out some of the Halo CE remake release times below.

Halo Campaign Evolved release time

Halo Campaign Evolved releases globally on July 28 at 3pm UTC. That means all players, whether you're on Xbox Series X, PS5, or PC will be able to play from that time. Here's how that translates to different time zones so you know exactly when you can play:

• US Pacific: 8AM PDT on July 28
• US Eastern: 11AM EDT on July 28
• UK: 4PM BST on July 28
• Central Europe: 5PM CEST on July 28
• Eastern Australia: 1AM AEST on July 29
• New Zealand: 3AM NZST on July 29

There's not long left to get your Halo Campaign Evolved pre-load sorted so that you're ready to play as soon as the launch time arrives. And to make sure you can hop in without a hitch, I also recommend making sure that you have your Microsoft account details ready so that you can link it to your platform account, particularly if you're going to play on PS5 or Steam (obviously now is a good time to make one if you don't have one).

This is essential for crossplay and cross-progression, letting you join your friends regardless of what platform they're on and change platforms without losing progress and unlocks.

Halo Campaign Evolved early access release time

If you've pre-ordered the Premium Edition of Halo Campaign Evolved you can hop into Halo Campaign Evolved right now but there are mere hours left of early access. This period started on July 23 at 3pm UTC and will last until the full launch on the 28th when everyone else gets to play.

You might also want to know how long Halo Campaign Evolved is, particularly if you're planning on 100%-ing it.

Arrakeen in Dune Awakening is famous for being the effective Imperium capital of the planet, but in the game it serves as a combat-free hub zone and essential location for meeting many of the game's key factions and trainers. Arrakeen can be accessed fairly early on if you know how, though you probably won't need to visit until the mid and late game. Still, whenever you want to get there, here's how to find Arrakeen and all the methods to get there in Dune Awakening.

How to travel to Arrakeen in Dune Awakening

To get to Arrakeen in Dune Awakening, you have two options:

1. Use the Ornithopter Taxi service. This is accessible from any tradepost for 2,500 Solaris per outwards trip, including from the Dune Awakening Griffin's Reach Tradepost. Inside, talk to the NPC standing next to the hologram of the Ornithopter in the corner, and they'll offer to take you to certain hub zones and key areas. Pick Arrakeen, then pay the fee, and you'll fast travel to Arrakeen accordingly.
2. Fly your own Ornithopter. Once you've unlocked your own Ornithopter as part of the progression path of Dune Awakening Vehicles, simply fly it to the limit of the Hagga Basin map zone, and you'll be given the option to fly to Arrakeen for free.

Once at Arrakeen, you'll be able to either speak to the Taxi service or interact with your Ornithopter (both on the Eastern-most corner of the hub zone) to return to the main map. If you take the taxi service, returning back to the Hagga Basin does not cost you anything, it's only the journey out that has a price attached.

Arrakeen map

Above is the full map of Arrakeen in Dune Awakening. It's not especially large - effectively being one decent-sized building - but it's a compact area with plenty of useful characters, including traders, faction representatives, and many of the Advanced Dune Awakening trainers.

If it's your first time in Arakeen, speak to the House Athar Majordomo on the upper level, and Dr. Shaffat in the South section. These both give you quests that can be fulfilled simply by running around Arrakeen and talking to the marked NPCs without ever having to leave, and both grant you enough Solaris to easily make up for the cost of travelling there.

Back in the deserts, for those thinking about creating a new character, find out if you picked the best class in Dune Awakening! Or avoid the perils of Shai-Hulud and find out everything you need to know about the Dune Awakening Sandworms!

DBD Chaos Shuffle, along with 2v8, is one of the most prominent limited-time modes added to the horror game. It only comes around occasionally, so I for one am always looking forward to the next iteration of the LTM.

By randomizing your perk loadout in every match, you never know what's going to happen - especially since the other four players also have random perks, too. Not only is this just a recipe for fun, but it's also a great way to learn some of the more obscure perks you might not use much or even own, so here's when DBD Chaos Shuffle returns next.

When is DBD Chaos Shuffle back?

DBD Chaos Shuffle returns from Tuesday, July 28, 2026, at 8AM PDT / 11AM EDT / 4PM BST, and end at the same time on Tuesday, August 4, when it will be replaced by the Lights Out modifier.

This is just a short period of one week, so make sure you don't miss the return of Dead by Daylight Chaos Shuffle. The reason this event is so short is that it makes up just one third of the Summer of Screams, with Chaos Shuffle, Lights Out, and DBD's 2v8 mode each making a return for one week only.

As I've mentioned above, Chaos Shuffle randomly selects your four perks, but you can still choose your item, add-ons, and Offering. You won't know what your perks are until you load into the game, so I recommend using the first few seconds of the match, before play begins, to read your perk descriptions. You can do this by entering the menu and hovering your mouse or controller cursor over each perk. You can look at these at any time, but you will be out of commission while you do so.

This latest Chaos Shuffle event comes ahead of the next DBD update, which is coming soon, boasting heaps of thrilling new content, so redeem the latest DBD codes to ensure you're stocked up on Bloodpoints to spend on the next new character.

The Call of Duty Serialized Gilded Ruin Camo presents players with an opportunity to earn a unique weapon skin, by completing a specific challenge as quickly as possible. The first 100,000 players to hit the target will receive a camo stamped with a serial number in the order they are unlocked, so grabbing low digits will confer significant kudos when you show off this weapon finish in Black Ops 7 and Modern Warfare 4.

A recent blog post outlines how to unlock this special skin, but that includes a lot of details so I'm here to quickly outline exactly what you need to do to add it to your Gunsmith collection. You'll have to act fast if you want to secure one of these unique items, so here's how to unlock the Serialized Gilded Ruin Camo in Black Ops 7 and Modern Warfare 4.

How to access the Gilded Ruin Camo in Call of Duty

To access the Gilded Ruin Camo in Call of Duty, you need to pre-order Modern Warfare 4 (Standard or Vault Edition) prior to July 23, 2026 and the launch of Black Ops 7 Season 05 to instantly receive the Gilded Pearl Camo Pack. This will give you immediate access to the Moonlit Pearl Universal Camo, and unlocks the challenge to earn the Gilded Ruin Weapon Camo on July 23, 2026 at 12noon PDT / 3pm EDT / 8pm BST.

If you place a pre-order after this time you will still receive the Gilded Pearl Camo Pack and unlock this challenge, though your chances of earning the Serialized Gilded Ruin Weapon Camo will be significantly reduced due to the time-sensitive nature of the task. Don't forget that pre-ordering the game will also get you Early Access to the Modern Warfare 4 beta from August 21, 2026, a full week ahead of the Open Beta.

How to earn the Serialized Gilded Ruin Camo in Call of Duty

To unlock the Gilded Ruin Weapon Camo in Call of Duty, you need to complete the Gilded Pearl Camo Pack Challenge which involves earning 5,000 Skulls across various game modes in Black Ops 7 and Warzone. Skulls are awarded per Elimination, at different rates per game mode as outlined below:

• Endgame: Defeat enemies for 5 Skulls per Elimination
• Multiplayer: Defeat other players for 10 Skulls per Elimination
• Zombies: Defeat enemies for 1 Skull per Elimination
• Warzone: Defeat other players for 30 Skulls per Elimination

You can swap between different game modes during this challenge and your earned Skulls will carry over, as there is just a single overall Skull Score being tracked. Once you hit 5,000 Skulls in total, claim the Gilded Ruin Universal Camo and if you were one of the first 100,000 players to reach the target then you will also receive the Serialized Gilded Ruin Camo with your unique serial number attached!

After all 100,000 of the serial numbers have been allocated, completing the challenge will just unlock the standard Gilded Ruin Universal Camo. This can be used alongside the Moonlit Pearl Universal Camo in Black Ops 7, then when Modern Warfare 4 launches on October 23, 2026 both will be unlocked instantly for use there too.

To access the initial Early Access period on PS5, Xbox Series X, or PC you need to pre-order Modern Warfare 4 in either Standard or Vault Edition format, though if you reserve the Vault Edition you'll receive additional perks during the beta – more on that below. The exception to this is Nintendo Switch 2, where pre-orders don't open until August 28, but at that point Switch 2 players can join everyone else in the Open Beta period where no pre-order is required to take part.

What's in the Modern Warfare 4 beta?

The full details of what's included in the Modern Warfare 4 beta haven't been revealed yet, but we know that there will be a selection of multiplayer maps and modes available from small-scale 3v3 skirmishes to huge tactical battles. These will include Search & Destroy and the Training Mobility Course, alongside the brand new Kill Block experience.

Players who pre-order the Vault Edition of Modern Warfare 4 will get access to additional content during the beta, including:

  • Blix
• Special Forces Operator Pack
  • COM SFT (France)
  • KSK Amphibious (Germany)
  • SK Special Forces (South Korea)
  • SAS (United Kingdom)

More details on the Modern Warfare 4 beta, including what exclusive beta rewards can be unlocked, are due to be announced in the coming weeks – so check back here for updates as information is revealed.

When will the Modern Warfare 4 beta end?

The Modern Warfare 4 beta is officially scheduled to end on Tuesday, September 1, when the Open Beta draws to a close. The previous Black Ops 7 beta did get extended by an extra day though, so this end point isn't set in stone yet depending on how the rest of the MW4 beta period goes.

Finding Ancient Bone in Palworld is not easy, as it's perhaps one of the rarest resources in the game, found only in one very small, secluded location. There's not even a Fast Travel point on the island where you get it to make life easier. So you'll either need one of the new flying mounts or a water one to get there every time.

You can only obtain Ancient Bone at the No. 3 Wildlife Sanctuary, which is a forcefield-protected island off the northeast coast of the Desiccated Dunes. However, once you finally make your way over the ocean, your problems are far from over, as I can explain below.

Where is Palworld Ancient Bone?

Palworld Ancient Bone can only be found at the No. 3 Wildlife Sanctuary, which is off the coast of the Dessicated Desert. You'll find the resource by mining skeletal remains in this area - note that skeletal remains found in other areas of Palpagos don't drop Ancient Bone.

The No. 3 Wildlife Sanctuary in the forcefield-protected island to the northeast of the Dessicated Desert, and there is no Fast Travel point there, so you'll need to use either the Deep Sand Dunes or The Furthest Flats travel points.

Once you get to the island, getting Ancient Bone is still far from easy, as there are level 50+ Alpha Pals roaming the area, and security drones crossing the skies. As a result you'll need to stealth around the area to get in and out alive - by crouching and avoiding the red scanner of the drones you can make your way to skeletal remains you can see, mine them, and get out - but always keep one eye on your surroundings until you're in the clear.

Palworld Cryogenic Coolant is required to make some of the most powerful cold-resistant items in the game. I'd have thought a coolant would have been required for heat-resistant gear, but clearly I'm wrong.

If you're after some of the best armor to take to Mount Obsidian or Feybreak Island, then, you might be hunting high and low for this Cryogenic Coolant. Unfortunately, looking for it to drop around the Palworld environment is going to leave you wanting, as this item can only be crafted at your base.

How to get Palworld Cryogenic Coolant

The recipe for Palworld Cryogenic Coolant can be unlocked in the Technology Tree at level 31, and it can only be crafted at a Production Assembly Line.

While it looks relatively simply to make - you only need Pal Fluids and Ice Organs to make it, both of which are easy to get by farming ice and water-type Pals like Kingpen - this mid-level item can't simply be crafted at a normal workbench. You instead need a Production Assembly Line.

This is unlocked at Level 29 and requires some hefty resources to build: 100x Ingots, 10x Cement, 5x Wooden Board, and 20x Nails. Let's hope your Base Pals have been hard at work.

With the Production Assembly Line in place and a few Ice Organs and Pal Fluids in your chests, you can now make Cryogenic Coolant. You'll need it to craft any of the following items:

• Ghangler Saddle (Level 31)
• Water Grenade (Level 33)
• Quivern Saddle (Level 36)
• Jormuntide Saddle (level 39)
• Cold-Resistant Refined Metal Armor (Level 41)
• Whalaska Saddle (Level 42)
• Quivern Botan Saddle (Level 45)
• Cold-Resistant Pal Metal Armor (Level 50)
• Cold-Resistant Plasteel Armor (Level 54)
• Plasma Multicutter (Level 54)
• Powerful Fishing Magnet (Level 61)
• Cold-Resistant Hexolite Armor (Level 64)
• Overheat Rifle (Level 64)
• Combat SMG (Level 68)
• Cold-Resistant Ancient Armor (Level 77)

Now you've got an assembly line going, put those Pals to work. To make some of the items on this list, you'll also need to find Palworld Hexolite Quartz, and you'll need some Ancient Civilization Parts, too.

The Subnautica 2 Bioscanner is a crucial item used to reveal valuable information about the underwater wildlife so you can use it to your advantage. Using it allow you to unlock a number of handy active and passive Biomods - but you might be having trouble getting your scanner to work.

This is because the Bioscanner is actually an upgraded version of the standard scanner you fabricate in the early game, and without this important modification, your scanner won't unlock Biomods. You even need to go and rescan creatures you've already processed with your basic scanner in order for them to count, so here's how to get the Subnautica 2 Bioscanner modification.

How to get the Subnautica 2 Bioscanner mod

To get the Subnautica 2 Bioscanner, you must first find one located in a Cicada Wreck in the third area of the map. It's easy to find once you progress enough that the PDA shows you the location of Iso's Black Box.

Using a Repair Tool, fix the door blocking your entrance, then follow the path through the wreckage. If you get stuck, look for vents in the floor or holes in the wall. In the final room (which is horribly disconcerting due to being sideways), you'll find the Bioscanner sitting just by the exit door.

Like many other blueprints unlocks in the survival game, scanning the Bioscanner here unlocks the blueprint for you to craft your own. However, rather than a standard blueprint, this is the blueprint for a modification to your existing scanner.

Once you've unlocked the Bioscanner modification, you need a Modification Station and the following crafting ingredients:

• Your scanner
• 2x Enameled Glass
• 3x Conduit Crystals

Luckily, if you're having any trouble with these, I've got guides on finding Conduit Crystals and crafting Enameled Glass in Subnautica 2 to help you out. If you haven't unlocked the Modification Station blueprint yet, you'll also find one of those in the same Cicada Wreck as the Bioscanner, just before the vent, and there's another in the Visitor Center back near the lifepod.

With your new modification installed, you can now use your Bioscanner to unlock the secrets of the creatures and alien technology surrounding you. Then, scan Subnautica 2 leviathans, Sandspears, and more to unlock some of the best Subnautica 2 Biomods.

Palworld's Mozzarina isn't exactly one of the most desirable Pals for combat, but it is one of the most important animals for ranching purposes. This cute cow drops milk, which itself is required to make cakes, which are then required for breeding Pals.

This might be why it's a little harder to come by than most of the other low-level Pals. While sometimes it seems you can't move for Foxparks or Herbils, Mozzarinas are only found in an area you might not bother to access for some time. It's a low-level area, but there's not much driving you there, so you may go some time without finding a Palworld Mozzarina. When it's time to bake a cake, then, here's where to go.

Palworld 1.0 Mozzarina location

If you've already encountered a Mozzarina, for example in the Small Settlement, it should appear in your Paldeck, where it shows the location as Marsh Island and Eastern Wild Island. This is correct, but the best place to look is right near the Natural Bridge fast travel point, along the marsh island coast to the south. For some reason, these rotund milk makers seem to like lounging on the beach - who doesn't?

Once you've found one or two, you'll need to set them to work in your ranch in order to start farming milk. That's not all you'll need for Palworld breeding, though - you also need eggs, honey, and flour. Chikipi drops eggs while ranching, and honey can be obtained from Beegarde or Cinnamoth. You'll need a wheat pasture and a mill to get your hands on some flour.

The Black Flag Resynced Isla Providencia location is a Mayan temple island that the Nassau Warehouse treasure map leads to. The problem? The Animus doesn't let you go there unless you've completed a particular quest in Black Flag Resynced's main story, resulting in a forced desynchronization if you attempt to sail the Jackdaw to the island's shore. So, to help you reach Isla Providencia and complete the relevant treasure map, I've explained how to unlock it and where the buried treasure is below.

How to get to Isla Providencia in Black Flag Resynced

Isla Providencia is a Mayan Temple island on the southern border of the map, southwest of Kingston, at (487, 23). To gain access to the island, you need to play through almost two-thirds of the main questline to get to the Vainglorious Bastards quest – you can check out the full Black Flag Resynced mission list here to see how far along you are.

Complete this short and simple sailing quest and you'll then be spat out on Isla Providencia for the next mission called 'Mutiny'. Once you complete this mission, you can travel to and from Isla Providencia as you please.

Black Flag Resynced Isla Providencia treasure location

Now that you've hopefully made it to Isla Providencia, you can dig up the buried treasure. You need to head to the three palm trees clustered together near a small rocky outcrop along the beach at (487, 11).

The dig spot is right in front of the middle tree, so follow the button prompt to rip the chest from the sand, bagging you the Govenor's Outfit – one of many Black Flag Resynced outfits – and 2,000 Reales.

Note that you can dig this treasure up during the 'Mutiny' quest or you can come back to Isla Providencia later to dig it up. While you're this far south, you may also want to look for the Black Flag Resynced Grand Cayman chest and clear out all the chests in the Black Flag Resynced Anotto Bay smuggler's den.

Black Flag Stalking Zones appear on certain Assassin Contracts as an additional challenge option to earn a little extra money. The trouble is Black Flag Resynced never actually says what a stalking zone is, leaving you to work it out for yourself. Fortunately, the answer is simple and, if it seems weird, remember this game is technically 13 years old and it all goes back to how they did things in the old days...

How to assassinate someone from a Stalking Zone in Black Flag

A stalking zone in Black Flag Resynced is just any bush or grass that hides you. If Edward appears with a white outline, you're in a stalking zone. As you can see from the shot above, it's a very technical distinction leaving Edward very obviously sticking out while completely concealed.

The reason for this is that it's a throwback to the original game where stealth wasn't actually optional, and was instead only triggered by entering specific areas like tall grass and bushes. This stalking zone system was introduced in Assassin's Creed 3 and a dedicated crouch button didn't actually arrive until Unity. So, adding a crouch button is one of the more notable changes in Black Flag Resynced.

Confusingly, you can also get Assassin Contracts where the challenge is to do it from stealth. In those cases you can do it from corners, overhead branches etc - anywhere where you're hidden or undetected, including stalking zones. However, the stalking zone criteria only works from bushes and plants that give you the white outline. There are 30 of these murdery side quests, forming quite a big chunk of the Black Flag Resynced mission list, so you'll be looking for the right spot plenty of times. And, if you have your heart set on completing them all, that will play into how long it takes to beat Black Flag Resynced.

Pure Quartz is one of two types of Palworld quartz, along with Hexolite Quartz. Both have different uses and are mined in different biomes, so to help you avoid confusion, I've got the locations of both, and how to farm them right here.

Both types of quartz are incredibly valuable, owing to their inclusion some pretty essential high-level blueprints, such as Hexolite armor and the all-important Circuit Board. So, if you're having trouble locating either, here's everything you need to know.

How to get Palworld Pure Quartz

Pure Quartz is found in the Astra Mountains in Palworld, which is a challenging area to navigate due to the extreme cold. Fortunately, there are a few Pure Quartz deposits in the grassy areas along the eastern coast, which aren't as cold, making for easier mining.

As always with any ores, you could also be sure to have a mining Pal in your party, such as Tombat, who will aid will collecting the mineral faster.

Once you've found some, Pure Quartz is used for a few recipes, but the most important is the Circuit Board, which itself is then used in electrical blueprints like advanced workbenches and assembly lines.

You can farm Palworld Pure Quartz at your base once you reach Technology Level 52 and unlock the Pure Quartz Quarry.

How to get Palworld Hexolite Quartz

Palworld Hexolite Quartz is found on Feybreak Island, and this pretty mineral can be used for crafting some pretty decent armor, but only once you reach Technology Level 59. The good news is that there's also a Hexolite Quartz Mine available on the Ancient Technology tree at Level 63, so you can farm plenty of the resource from the safety of your own home - or, rather, get Pals to do it for you.

For help farming other materials, check out our guides on Palworld leather, hardwood, and Meteorite Fragments.

The Black Flag mission list features 51 main missions in total, including 8 new ones made for Resynced specifically. There are also around 61 side missions across things like Assassin Contracts, Officer Quests, collectibles and so on, bringing that grand total up to roughly 145.

That breaks down roughly like this:

• 51 main missions
  • 6 side missions
    • Former Glories
    • Mayan Mysteries (16 missions)
    • Damn Fine Gear (16 missions)
    • Blackbeard's Treasure
    • Captain Stede Bonnet
    • Art Lover
  • 11 Officer Quests
  • 30 Assassin Contracts
  • 15 Naval Contracts

Of course there are some semantics involved here. Damn Fine Gear is a mission, to complete 16 other missions, so I've counted that as 17. There are also various other things to do in the world - like the 12 Black Flag Resynced Treasure Maps, 10 Forts you need to destroy, or the 26 Sea Shanties to chase and collect and so on. Those I haven't counted and instead have focused on the map marker objectives you can find and tick off. Obviously, what you do go after will affect how long it takes to beat Black Flag Resynced too.

Here's how that all breaks down below

Black Flag main missions

There are 51 main missions in Black Flag, an increase from the original game thanks to 8 new quests added to the original 43. These missions are spread across 12 sequences, with the new content unlocking at the end of Sequence 11.

Black Flag side missions

There are multiple side missions and objectives to find and complete in Black Flag, which are listed below. However there are six general side quests, some of which group together into longer mission chains:

1. Former Glories - upgrade everything at your Great Inagua mansion.
2. Mayan Mysteries - Complete all 16 Black Flag Resynced Mayan Stones and collect the armor.
3. Damn Fine Gear - Get all four Black Flag Resynced Templar Keys and unlock the armor.
4. Blackbeard's Treasure - Find the X on the Black Flag Resynced Blackbeard's Treasure map (new for Resynced).
5. Captain Stede Bonnet - Find Stede Bonnet's ship and crew (new for Resynced).
6. Art Lover - Find 30 pieces of art for the Butler at your Great Inagua mansion.

Former Glories and Art Lover are basically collectible missions, as are Mayan Mysteries and Damn Fine Gear, technically - albeit with more to them than just collecting things. Captain Stede Bonnet and Blackbeard's Treasure are new mission that expand elements of the original game's plot and the respective characters.

Let's take a look at everything in a little more detail:

Officer side missions

There are five Black Flag Resynced Officers you can unlock. Two are mandatory unlocks as you progress through the main campaign but three have their own mission chains with 11 missions in total:

Templar Hunts

The mission Damn Fine Gear includes a series of Templar Hunts - a sequence of 16 assassin missions you can undertake to get the Black Flag Templar Keys needed for one of the Black Flag Resynced Outfits in the game. There are four hunts, all consisting of four missions each, that are accessible in the quest log on the map page:

Assassin's Contracts

Once you've completed the mission Overrun and Outnumbered with James Kidd you'll unlock 30 Assassin Contracts. These are found scattered around the various towns and settlements, marked on the map with a skull icon, where you'll find a pigeon coop that you collect contracts from. These all involve killing a specific target, often with a bonus challenge like doing it from stealth, or using a specific weapon to get extra Reales.

Naval Contracts

There are 15 Naval Contracts you can take on, starting with one called the A Spanish Plague in Great Inagua which unlocks the rest. That in turn is unlocked by completing This Old Cove. These are a selection of boat based combat missions that see you battling and boarding various vessels and gathering certain cargos.

Mayan Stelae

There are 16 Mayan Stelae to find, each of which involves a small visual puzzles to reveal a stone. Collect them all and you'll get the Mayan outfit which includes a trinket that repels bullets. Technically these are introduced once you complete the mission Overrun and Outnumbered with James Kidd, who introduces you to them. But you can find them out in the world and start solving them before that.

The Black Flag Resynced Sugarcane and Its Yields quest is a bit of a tough one because it features two sections where a stealth approach is best due to the overwhelming number of guards. However, the main challenge for this Black Flag Resynced quest is finding the Warehouse Key as it's tucked away in a private manor at the far end of the plantation and can be difficult to get without causing a huge commotion. With that, here's what you need to do to complete Sugarcane and Its Yields as smoothly as possible.

Black Flag Resynced Sugarcane and Its Yields walkthrough

After following James Kidd across Andreas Island to the elevated lookout point, here's what you need to do to find the Warehouse Key and complete the Sugarcane and Its Yields quest without getting into a massive fight:

1. Find Beckford's agent, who usually patrols the parts of this British dock camp furthest from the lookout point you start at. Sneak forward and use Eagle Vision (R3/R3) and aiming (L2/LT) to mark enemies until you find the agent.
2. Kill the agent and loot his body to collect the cargo manifest. It's good to use whistling, hiding spots, smoke bombs, and tree hangings to your advantage to secure the kill without causing a ruckus as this dock has quite a lot of soldiers inside.
3. Return to the Jackdaw and sail to Cat Island (706, 669). Dock the Jackdaw when you arrive then sneak onto the island plantation.
4. Sneak past the plantation guards using the available buildings and shrub hiding spots and head straight for the manor in the southwestern corner of the Cat Island plantation.
5. Climb onto the roof of the manor and peek into the garden to locate and mark Emmerson Beckford at roughly (705,664). He holds the Warehouse Key you need.

6. When Beckford eventually goes inside the manor and isolates himself from his guests, drop from the roof out of sight, go inside, and either pickpocket the Warehouse Key from Beckford or assassinate him and loot the key from his body.
7. Sneak over to the Warehouse towards the north beach of Cat Island at (706,669) and use the key to unlock the doors. Edward and the Jackdaw's crew will safely plunder the Warehouse in a cutscene.

From the Warehouse, you should loot a piece of art called "The Burning of the 'Royal James'", 1,250 Reales, and 12 Wine. That also marks the end of the Sugarcane and Its Yields quest!

However, you may want to return to Cat Island later to rob this warehouse again as, like other warehouses, it replenishes based on a timer (hover the map cursor over the icon to see how long you must wait). Once it has been restocked and you can get the key off one of the plantation guards and loot the warehouse again, helping you get fragments of Black Flag Resynced Treasure Maps, more Reales, and precious resources. If you've got access to Kenway's Fleet, you can also send your ships on missions that resupply warehouses so that you can loot them again.

If you're trying to find Hardwood in Palworld you must be over level 40, as that's where the recipes that require this are found. If that's the case, then you've probably already reached the areas needed to find this material, even if you're not immediately locating it. But, with any luck, that also means you've got a fast travel point or two ready to go and just get where you need to go.

If you're having trouble, I can tell you where you need to go on the vast Palpagos map to find hardwood trees, and I've also got the secret to farming them at your base. So read on if you want to start building high quality Palworld structures.

Where to find Palworld Hardwood

There are a few regions of the map in which hardwood can be found in Palworld, and a range of trees you can get it from, but none of the options are near the starting area:

• Twilight Dunes (spiky trees)
• Mount Obsidian (dead trees)
• Sakurajima (Sakura trees)
• Feybreak Island (red, orange, yellow, and white trees)
• Desiccated Desert (dead trees, spiky trees)
• Astral Mountains (white trees)

Not all trees found in the areas I've listed above drop hardwood, which is why I've called out the best ones to look for. It's also worth remembering that a higher quality axe will improve the yield you receive, so use a Refined Metal Axe, or even a Pal Metal Axe if you can, to get more.

How to farm Palworld Hardwood

You can actually farm hardwood in Palworld, thanks to an incredibly useful crafting recipe hidden in the Ancient Technology tree at level 43: the Logging Site 2. If you need or want a lot of hardwood you should unlock this as soon as possible, build at least one in your base and then set some logging Pals to work on it, and you'll soon have chests full of Palworld Hardwood.

There's one Black Flag Resynced Grand Cayman chest in particular that's very difficult to reach, despite being so obvious. It's more of a puzzle than a parkour or exploration challenge compared to the other two chests you can boot open in this small Black Flag Resynced settlement. To help you get these lootable chests off your checklist, I've how to get to every chest in Grand Cayman below.

Black Flag Resynced Grand Cayman secret chest

The hardest chest to reach is the secret one on the cliff found at (357,298) where an old man is getting shouted at for drinking too much. It's impossible to climb up to so you instead need to follow the man's lead and get Edward hammered too.

Head to the Grand Cayman tavern (you may need to complete a bar fight to properly unlock it first) and buy five drinks at the side of the bar. After the fifth drink and a fade-to-black, Edward will wake up in a pile of palm leaves on the ledge where the old man was. You'll get the "Hungover" trophy/achievement for getting up here, and you can open the secret chest to get the Yoke-Form Vessel art collectible.

Black Flag Resynced Grand Cayman chest 1

To reach the chest at (358,295), you need to go to the cave pool on the southwestern side of Grand Cayman with a Mayan statue nearby. Wade into the pool and dive down when you reach the end of the downward steps. Swim through the small doorway at the bottom of the cave and follow the steps up to the surface and you'll emerge right in front of a chest containing some valuables worth a few hundred Reales in total, so it's not the most rewarding of discoveries.

Black Flag Resynced Grand Cayman chest 2

The chest at (365,303) is easy to spot on the northeastern side of Grand Cayman. The only issue is it's in a small encampment of Spanish soldiers, so you'll have to assassinate or fight your way to it. This chest also contains an assortment of valuables worth several hundred Reales.

If you're looking for more chests to plunder, the Black Flag Resynced Antocha Wreck is full of chests, with one being similarly puzzling to reach as in Grand Cayman.

Anotto Bay in Black Flag Resynced has a handful of treasures to find, including buried treasure from a map found in a Havana warehouse. There are two chests to find, both of which are in the shark -infested underwater tunnels that you must navigate to even reach the smuggler's den, and one secret chest that requires a key. It's a simple location to clear in Black Flag Resynced, but the treasure and secret key can also be quite easy to miss, so here's how to find every bit of loot in Anotto Bay.

Anotto Bay also happens to be where you need to go for the Black Flag Resynced Blackbeard's Treasure quest, so if you need help uncovering that too, check out the linked guide.

Black Flag Resynced Anotto Bay location

If you've got the Black Flag Resynced Treasure Map for Anotto Bay from the Havana Warehouse and want to know where Anotto Bay even is, you need to head to (590,245). It's on the north side of the main island in the Charlotte region of the map and is north-northwest of Kingston. To get inside the smuggler's cove here, you need to dive where the shipwreck is and look for the underwater mineshaft tunnel entrance.

Black Flag Resynced Anotto Bay treasure

The buried treasure marked on the Black Flag Resynced Treasure Map for Anotto Bay is found in the den area at the end of the underwater tunnels. In the middle of the den, you'll notice there's a patch of dirt amongst the wooden floorboards next to a large stack of wooden boxes. The dig spot is in this dirt patch!

The chest within contains 2,000 Reales and the Crimson Cloak outfit for Edward – it's not the most interesting of Black Flag Resynced outfits, but it gives Edward's assassin pirate garb a more striking look.

Anotto Bay Chest 1

The first Anotto Bay chest is in the underwater mineshaft tunnel that leads to the den itself. As you swim through the tunnel, take the first left where the dead pirate is, follow the tunnel around to the right (watch out for the sea urchins), then take the next left. As you swim towards the wooden barricade ahead, a shark will burst out, so be prepared to dodge. When the shark is out of the way, the first Anotto Bay chest is straight ahead and holds 1,000 Reales.

Anotto Bay Chest 2

To reach the second chest, continue swimming down the tunnel until you reach an area with a ladder leading upwards and a spout of bubbles. Follow this up, then look around and you'll find chest 2 in the opposite direction to the rest of the tunnel. This chest also contains 1,000 Reales.

Anotto Bay Secret

Like the buried treasure, the secret in Anotto Bay (which is another chest) is found in the den area. The chest itself is tucked in a corner on the left as you walk into the den, but the key you need is on the smuggler leader Lorenzo – use a combination of Eagle Vision and aiming to mark him and the key. All you need to do is kill Lorenzo, loot the key from his body, and open the chest to get 4,922 Reales and a Weathered Map Piece!

The uses for Palworld Meteorite Fragments aren't immediately obvious, and this might be one of the rare resources you find before you go looking for it. Meteors randomly fall from the sky, and their arrival is indicated by large red text in the middle of the screen, suggesting a very important event. And this isn't to say that it's not, as if you're looking to catch every Pal you definitely want to head to a meteorite location to catch some out-of-this-world Pals - and you can grab plenty of these fragments while you're at it.

However, once you've got the rocks in your inventory, you may be wondering what to do with them, and their recipes don't show themselves unless you have already caught the appropriate Pals, either. So I've listed every recipe for Palworld Meteorite Fragments below, and how to get them if by chance you've heard them mentioned but haven't found them yet.

Palworld Meteorite Fragment uses

These are the uses for Palworld Meteorite Fragments so far:

• Meteor Launcher
• Meteorite Ammo
• Paldium Fragment
• Selyne saddle
• Neptilius saddle
• Xenogard saddle
• Xenolord saddle

The most valuable items here are the Pal saddles, allowing you to ride flying mount Selyne, water mount Neptilius, and ground mounts Xenogard and Xenolord. These Pals themselves are hard to come by, though, with the 'easiest' being Xenogard, who has a chance to spawn at Meteorite Events in high-level areas. The others are bosses, so you'll just want to keep your Meteorite Fragments saved up until you catch them.

The Meteor Launcher is a cool weapon used for hurling Meteor Ammo at opponents, but sadly it isn't as powerful as the existing Rocket Launcher, so it's not really worth crafting, especially since the ammo for the Rocket Launcher requires much cheaper resources.

Overall, Meteorite Fragments aren't that useful - yet. Since Meteorite Fragments don't seem to have much value right now, it might be worth keeping any extras you find stashed away at your base in case of future recipes and uses for the purple rocks.

How to get Palworld Meteorite Fragments

If you haven't witnessed a Meteorite Event yet, these are events that take place randomly and sporadically across Palpagos Islands. You don't need to worry too much though, as if one occurs near you, you'll see an unmissable notice splashed across the center of your screen.

At the meteor site, a few fragments can be found on the ground, and at least 30 fragments can then be obtained by mining the large meteor itself.

To find the meteor, simply look at your map for the nearby meteor icon. The drop site spawns a few special Pals: Selyne, Xenovader, and Xenogard. There will always be at least two of any of these Pals at each site, but it's most likely to be Xenovader. Xenogard has a chance of appearing in high-level areas, while Selyne is guaranteed at Meteorite Events on Sakurajima.

Some Syndicate Thugs will beat you to the site, but the Pal arrivals should make quick work of them. They will then wander off, so if you aren't quick enough to the site, you may not be able to catch the Pals. However, this may be a good thing if you're still a low level. That said, the fact that they leave makes it easier to go and farm fragments.

Black Flag Resynced codes are in high demand, as they can be used to claim free rewards in this updated swashbuckling adventure. Some are cosmetic, such as fresh sails to adorn your ship, but you can also redeem them to get Animus keys – and there's enough on offer to unlock one of three new swords for Edward Kenway to wield. To find out more, here are all of the Black Flag codes and how to redeem them for rewards.

All Black Flag Resynced codes

The following Black Flag Resynced codes can be redeemed for rewards:

• ACBF-PHGN-SYBJ-RTRF – 1,500 Animus keys, Crimson Storm Sails (note: although not officially expired, this code is currently giving an error message)
• ASC-BFR-PMK-000 – Shipmate Monkey Pet

Neither of these Black Flag codes have an official expiry date, although when the first one was announced producer Justin Ng said it "will remain available for a limited redemption period" and players trying to redeem it are currently receiving an error message, so it's not clear if this is a temporary issue or the promo has actually expired.

There are also some other routes to claim rewards for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, such as:

• Watch 2 hours of Twitch streaming – Rustborne Swords (expires August 2, 2026)
• Watch 4 hours of Twitch streaming – Cheetah Claw Cat Pet (expires August 2, 2026)
• Complete Red Bull Quiz – Wings of the Tempest Sails (expires September 30, 2026)

For the Twitch Drops you simply need to watch participating streams for the length of time stated, which is cumulative so you don't need to do it in one sitting. If you need any help with linking your accounts then this Ubisoft Support article has you covered.

To complete the Red Bull quiz, scroll down the page until you find the 'Spin' button and hit that to start the questions. There are six in total and you only need to answer one of them correctly, then provide your name and email at the end to receive a unique code. When you redeem that code a message which pops up suggests this reward may not be available yet, and you'll receive a further email from Red Bull once it's in the game, so don't stress if you can't immediately find it.

How to redeem Black Flag Resynced codes

The most direct way to redeem Black Flag Resynced codes is to activate them in-game, by entering the pause menu then following the Store prompt in the top right corner of the screen, before hitting the Redeem Code option to the bottom left of the screen.

However, some players (especially on consoles) have reported issues with this process, so you can also redeem Black Flag codes though the Ubisoft Connect app by tapping your profile icon then choosing the Key Activation option, or going through the official Redeem codes site and following the steps there. You'll need a Ubisoft Connect account for either of those routes, so if you don't have one already then complete the process to set one up.

The Black Flag Resynced Antocha Wreck is one of the many shipwrecks you can plunder for long lost loot, with one chest in the wreck itself being quite tricky to find. Grabbing all eight loot chests in this wreck is really useful as well, since you'll gather both a load of Reales and the Mortar Ultimate Plan, which is arguably one of the best in all of Black Flag Resynced. With that, I've detailed the locations for all seven chests in the Antocha Wreck below.

All Antocha Wreck chest locations in Black Flag Resynced

As mentioned, there are eight chests to rip open in the wreck of the Antocha – seven containing Reales and one secret chest containing the Black Flag Resynced Ultimate Plan for the Mortar – with four of them stuck within the two halves of the destroyed ship.

Starting with those since they're the hardest to reach, here's how you can find every chest in the Antocha diving spot:

1. At the very bottom of the south edge of the northern half of the wreck (the stern of the ship).
2. In a small room on the middle deck of the stern wreckage. Swim into the deck, take the second left, then turn left again to reach it.
3. Deep within the stern wreckage on the upper deck. From chest 2, turn around and go straight ahead, then up to the next deck to find the chest straight ahead.
4. At the end of a corridor accessed via an opening on the east corner of the stern wreckage. The opening is roughly halfway down the ship and there is a shoal of fish plus some coral and plants surrounding it.

5. On the top deck of the southern bow half of the shipwreck, near the bowsprit.
6. In the small shipwreck part closest to the diving bell.
7. In the small shipwreck part directly south of the diving bell.
8. Secret: In the small shipwreck piece furthest from the diving bell. This contains the Mortar Ultimate Plan.

When looking for these chests and secrets in the Antocha, or any shipwreck accessed via the diving bell for that matter, remember to scan the area by holding L2/LT to look for white dots as these are the chests, then check your map often to see where to go. Obviously, you also need to watch out for sharks and ensure Edward doesn’t drown, so make sure you return to the diving bell and use the barrels to refill the oxygen meter – barrels can only be used to replenish Edward's air once each!

Another particularly pesky treasure chest to find is the Black Flag Resynced Grand Cayman chest, which can't be reached using parkour and instead requires some heavy drinking.

Animal pelts, skins and hides in Black Flag Resynced are all an important part of how you improve both your maximum health and your ability to carry around ammo and equipment generally. However, finding animal pelts isn't easy, as you'll have to explore the world to find and hunt various creatures and critters, from deer to jaguars to monkeys. Fortunately, I'll show you where to find all the pelts and animal locations in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced below, as well as how to get them all quickly without even having to leave Inagua.

All animal hunting locations in Black Flag Resynced

Below we've laid out where to find every animal you can hunt in Black Flag Resynced, with coordinates and islands attached. When you reach the marked area, use your eagle vision to find and mark the animal nearby, and use common sense a little. Crocodiles are usually in water, while monkeys are usually up trees, and so on.

It's also worth remembering that certain animals behave differently in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced . For example, deer will flee, while jaguars will fight back and potentially kill you if you're not careful. Keep in mind when hunting them!

Once killed, just approach the animal and choose to "Skin" with the button shown to harvest the skin and bones. It doesn't matter how you kill an animal, they yield the same amount of rewards whether down by assassination, bullet, sword or blowgun.

How to get animal skins and pelts easily in Black Flag Resynced

Though you can hunt animals for free, there's another option: upgrade both the general store and treasure dealer in Great Inagua. Once upgraded, the merchant's store will allow you to buy any animal pelt and skin in exchange for bones (the cost changing depending on their rarity.

Bones can be obtained by killing any animal in the game, but you can also buy them for 5000 Reales each from the Treasure Dealer, once unlocked. This leads to a straightforward cash-for-bones-for-skins arrangement that isn't cheap, but is at least highly efficient, especially if you're flush with cash in the late game. You can also spend some of your pelts at the Treasure Dealer to earn special Black Flag Resynced Outfits!

For animals you can treat slightly better, here's how to get all the Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced pets. Or while you're hunting for animals, hunt for the different Black Flag Resynced Treasure Maps too!

The locations of outfits in Black Flag Resynced vary significantly, with some being hidden in chests, others bought in stores, and further more being found in treasure chests around the Caribbean. We've got all the details on outfits around Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced below, with locations and coordinates for every costume, setting and clothing set around the game, so you can build out your piratic wardrobe accordingly.

Locations of all oufits in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced

There 35 outfits in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, though some can only be unlocked in paid DLC. Below we'll lay out how to get all of them for yourself.

Outfits in Black Flag Resynced have no function and it doesn't matter what you wear. That a change from the original game where some outfits could have certain effects - a role now performed by various trinkets you can equip.

That means your choice of outfit is fully dictated by fashion and personal preference as you explore Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, and the general vibe you want to give off. Speaking personally, I am enormously fond of Captain Morgan's Redingote, which is probably the most "piratey" outfit in the whole game.

The Salt Lagoon treasure in Black Flag Resynced is a tough one to find, especially if you're not used to the system of maps and implied locations that the Remake works on. It's also definitely worth hitting this reward ASAP for the money that can give you a good footing early in the game, so I'll explain how to find the treasure of Salt Lagoon below and interpret the treasure map that Black Flag Resynced gives you to work on.

Salt Lagoon treasure location in Black Flag Resynced

The Salt Lagoon treasure from the map found on Abaco Island is located at 719,607, just south of the tall rock formation on the northwestern beach.

This dig spot can be quite easy to miss compared to some of the other buried treasure spots around Black Flag Resynced – make sure you get right up to the green ferns growing by the tall rock – but unearth the buried chest and you'll get the Serpent Figurehead Design Plan for the Jackdaw and 3,000 Reales.

Treasure is normally a bit easier to find than this, but our Black Flag Resynced Treasure Maps guide details where to find every bit of treasure, so that you can easily find and plunder every dig spot.

Otherwise, there are a few other things you can do and find on Salt Lagoon to complete the checklist: one Viewpoint, one chest, and one secret, and you need to hunt a deer. The Viewpoint is on the end of the bowsprit of a wrecked ship on the southwest beach; the chest is in the sea off the south beach and contains 1,000 Reales; and the secret is another treasure map on the northeast side of the beach. Finally, deer are found towards the middle of the island.

An Xbox Game Pass option for Black Flag Resynced is something that many players are hopeful for, but at time of writing it doesn't seem like such an option is expected for the near future. That being said, that isn't written in stone, and there is good reason to think that Black Flag on Game Pass will be an eventuality, as we'll explain in our guide below. We'll also cover other options for subscription services that include Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced!

Is Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced coming to Xbox Game Pass?

No, the Black Flag remake is not currently on Xbox Game Pass, and there's not yet been any official comment regarding when (or even if) it will be added.

However, it's worth acknowledging that most previous Assassin's Creed games have been added to Game Pass some time after release, though this doesn't include 2025's Assassin's Creed Shadows at time of writing, so we can't say that it's a definitive guarantee, or at the very least may take a while for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced to be added.

That being said, you can play the original from 2013 on Game Pass, if all you need is some form of Edward Kenway's adventures. Our own Black Flag Resynced review felt uncertain about whether it truly outshone the acclaimed original, so it's possible you might get the better experience from going back to the first incarnation.

If you're a PC gamer, it's also true that you can get Black Flag Resynced as part of the Ubisoft+ Subscription service, as long as you get the Premium subscription.

If you're getting into Edward's adventures, you might want to know how long it takes to beat Black Flag Resynced, so we've laid out some estimated completion times for you. And if you want to know how it differs from the 2013 original, check out all the Black Flag Resynced changes.

How long does it take to beat Black Flag Resynced? That length will vary depending on whether you want to 100% complete the game or just go through the story campaign, but most players will be looking at least 30 hours, and potentially more than double that. Having completed it myself and consulted with others who have, I'll lay out the full time to beat below and how long it'll take you to beat the Assassin's Creed Black Flag remake.

How long is Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced?

From my experience playing Black Flag Resynced, and that of other members of the GamesRadar+ team, you should expect to sink roughly 35+ hours for an light to average playthrough. That's one that takes in a little bit of everything but doesn't get side-tracked too much from the main path. But, obviously, this completion time depends entirely on how much you choose to do from the Black Flag Resynced mission list.

I'd say, roughly, the time it takes to complete Black Flag Resynced averages out like this:

• Critical path: 25-30 hours
• Main quest and some side activities: 30-40 hours
• 100% completion: 50-60 hours

If you're only interested in Edward Kenway's story, as he tries to make pirate life work in the Caribbean, you'll probably spend 25 hours or so clearing the main missions. You might be able to get through the main quest in under 25 hours - if you're particularly dedicated and playing on the easiest difficulty settings - but with important upgrades needed (for the Jackdaw especially) it's difficult to play through the whole thing quickly without dipping into at least some side activities. That said, there are no modern-day sections in this remake, stripping a bit of time off things (you can read about the other changes in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced here).

Alternatively, if you want to see everything Black Flag Resynced has to offer, you're looking at easily spending around 50+ hours playing. With plenty of Forts to destroy, upgrades to unlock, Black Flag Resynced Treasure Maps to dig up, and side quests and contracts to complete, there is a lot to do beyond seeing Edward's story through to the end. And the endgame-level Black Flag Resynced Legendary Ships will require you to have all the Black Flag Resynced Ultimate ship upgrades applied to the Jackdaw.

Blackbeard's treasure map in Black Flag Resynced is a little bit different from other maps, as there's a whole side quest and story tied to it. It's also worth mentioning that you can't even get the map from Blackbeard until a certain point within the main quest, rather than finding it in the world like other Black Flag Resynced Treasure Maps. However, if you want to find the loot of this legendary pirate, below I'll show you how to find Blackbeard's treasure and solve his map in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, as well as where to find the treasure itself in Anotto Bay.

How to solve Blackbeard's Treasure Map in Black Flag Resynced

Blackbeard's Treasure Map, obtained after the "Do Not Go Gently" mission in the main story, is directing you to go to Anotto Bay, the Smuggler's Den found at coordinates 590, 245.

We'll go into more detail about what to do once you're below, but keep in mind that you can't find Blackbeard's Treasure until you first obtain the map. If you're earlier in the game and have yet to uncover it, you can enter Anotto Bay, but you can't complete the steps for Blackbeard's Treasure until you actually get the map from him.

How to find Blackbeard's Treasure in Anotto Bay in Black Flag Resynced

Once you reach the Bay, there's still a way to go before you can reach Blackbeard's Treasure. Here's the full series of steps.

1. Swim to coordinates 591, 249 and dive downwards. You should see an underwater tunnel you can swim into. A jellyfish floats nearby, which serves as a visual marker.

2. Swim into the tunnel and dodge the shark that lunges at you. Follow it around and up until you finally reach a section you can climb up through into a small cave with a complaining pirate.

3. Dive back into the water ahead and keep following it around, using the wood beam boosts until you climb up into a cave lair with a smuggler's chest (if you've been to Anotto Bay before, this is where it normally ends).

4. This area is full of enemies. Clear them out, then pick up one of the small red powderkeg barrels in the middle and place it near the collapsed cave on the East wall. Shoot it from a distance to clear the cave-in and allow you to progress.

5. This tunnel will lead you to a huge cave full of more enemies, including another complaining pirate. Take them out so you can do the next step.

6. Get another small powderkeg from the entrance to this larger cave, and place it at the top of the raised path on the right of the waterfall. Shoot it to blow open a new cave.

7. Enter the new cave to find a chest inside and complete this quest!

What is Blackbeard's Treasure?

If you want to know if this whole sidequest is worth doing and if Blackbeard's Treasure lives up to the legend... Well, that depends on whether you're in this for the gameplay or the story. Finding the chest leads to a cutscene wherein it's revealed that the "Treasure" is the farming and infrastructure supplies needed to make the Great Inagua hideout self-sustaining, effectively giving them the chance to try again at the free paradise that Nassau failed to be. If you go back to Great Inagua, there's a final step to complete the side quest and alter the landscape of the town, though this has no gameplay effect as far as I can see.

Blackbeard does mention that he had other treasure, but no map leads to it. At time of writing it appears as though there's basically no way to get the rest of his loot, and it will remain forever hidden.

You'll need a keen eye looking for Subnautica 2 Sandspears. These powerful creatures might be large and deadly, dealing significant damage with just one bite, but they also hide themselves underground until you get too close to avoid them.

Unfortunately, you need to get close enough to Bioscan one of these killer fish if you want to unlock all the Subnautica 2 biomods, so here's where you can find them, and how to scan a Sandspear without dying.

Where to find Subnautica 2 Sandspears

You can find Subnautica 2 Sandspears in the area around your lifepod and around the Observatory. However, they bury themselves almost completely under sand, so look for a blue antenna sticking out of the ground, surrounded by sharp teeth, as seen in the image above.

Get too close to this ominous indicator, and a Sandspear will instantly pop out of the ground and sink its teeth into you, dealing serious damage - so you might want to make sure you have some medkits on you when seeking them out.

Here are some good locations to look for Sandspears in Subnautica 2:

• Swim 65m from the lifepod at 250° SW, then to a depth of 25m
• Swim 110m from the lifepod at 60° NE, then to a depth of 30m
• Swim 140m from the lifepod at 90° E, then to a depth of 20m

Generally speaking, you can find these fish by swimming along the surface of the ocean, both in the area around your lifepod and near the Observatory - there are no Sandspears in the Alien Ruins area of the map.

You'll then need to scan the monster in order to unlock two new Biomods, so read on to find out how to get close enough to do so.

How to Bioscan Subnautica 2 Sandspears

To scan Subnautica 2 Sandspears, get close enough to hit one with your Feedback or Sonic Resonator, which should force it out from underground. The Sandspear will then become passive for a while before reburying itself, during which time you can use your scanner.

If you get too close and the creature attacks, it will also become passive before it hides again, so you can also use this time to scan the Sandspear. Clearly, since it only attacks when you get too close, it's just a bit defensive.

The most important thing to note if you're trying to unlock the associated Biomod is that you need to scan the Sandspear with a Subnautica 2 Bioscanner - not just a regular scanner.

If you're looking for some other fish to scan, check out our list of all the Subnautica 2 leviathans, but be careful getting close to them.

Repairing your ship in Black Flag Resynced can only be done by paying a Harbourmaster to fix it up or boarding enemy ships. Both methods have pros and cons, so it's important to know how they work and when it's best to use them and keep the Jackdaw in working order while on the high seas in Black Flag Resynced. I've explained the two main ways to repair your ship in AC Black Flag below.

How to repair the Jackdaw in Black Flag Resynced

The Jackdaw has limited passive health regeneration in Black Flag Resynced, which kicks in whenever you're not in combat. The Jackdaw's health bar is split into three sections, and your crew can only fully repair one section.

So, if you need to repair your ship back up to full health after a battle or need some emergency repairs mid-fight, you need to use one of the following methods:

• Visit a Harbourmaster and pay for repairs: The Jackdaw will be instantly repaired to full health, costing either 250 or 500 Reales depending on how much repair work is needed. If you need repairs after a big naval battle, head straight to a Harbourmaster.
• Successfully board an enemy ship and select the Repair option: Doing so restores the Jackdaw's health by a significant amount but won't necessarily fully repair it. If you're in the middle of a big battle – say you're raiding a Black Flag Resynced Naval Convoy – boarding a weaker ship and using it for repairs can keep you in the fight.

It's also worth mentioning that the Jackdaw will get fully repaired for free after completing main quests and other activities, so you won't have to worry about repairs all the time.

However, if you find that the Jackdaw keeps getting destroyed or severely damaged to the point of needing frequent repairs, make sure you focus your upgrading efforts on the hull, which bolsters the ship's maximum health. That makes each of the health bar's three sections more robust, and means you'll be saving Reales on repairs. To max out the hull's strength, you need to know where the blueprint is for the Black Flag Resynced Ultimate Plan for the hull. Make sure you've also recruited Lucy as one of your Black Flag Resynced Officers as her Perfect Brace ability can help a lot with damage mitigation.

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced Naval Convoys can be quite a serious challenge early on since you've got to fight multiple ships at once. But given how common these convoys are in Black Flag Resynced, and that they're a great opportunity for getting ship-based loot and plenty of Reales thanks to the Captain's Lockbox, knowing how best to tackle them is essential pirate knowledge. With that, I've explained exactly how these Naval Convoys work below, so that you can plunder the seas with ease.

How to complete Naval Convoys in Black Flag Resynced

To complete a Naval Convoy event in Black Flag, you need to board and successfully commandeer the lead ship in the convoy – that's the largest ship leading the way. The lead ship has at least two smaller escort ships which don't need to be destroyed, but as the tips further below explain, it's probably best to sink them.

To board and seize the lead ship, you need to damage the lead ship until it is immobilized, at which point you can sail the Jackdaw alongside and begin a boarding action by following the button prompt (hold Triangle/Y). Once you've swashbuckled your way on board, start reducing the morale of the enemy ship, by killing the enemy crew; cutting the flag, which can be done by climbing to the top of the main mast and following the button prompt; and destroying gunpowder stores on deck, though not every ship has these – just make sure you don't blow you and your crew up when you shoot these.

Once morale has been reduced entirely, the convoy crew will surrender and you'll be presented with the usual boarding action choices, as well as the Captain's Lockbox:

• Get Captain's Lockbox: This provides additional loot on top of your current earnings. From my experience, the additional rewards tend to be extra Reales and sometimes crew members. Unless you absolutely must choose a different option, you should always choose this to get greater rewards.
• Repair: Recover a portion of the Jackdaw's health.
• Send to Kenway's Fleet: If you have an empty fleet berth, you can add this ship to Kenway's Fleet, letting you send it on missions around the Caribbean to get you extra resources.
• Lower Wanted Level: Reduce your Wanted Level, lowering the risk of Pirate Hunters tracking down the Jackdaw.

Black Flag Resynced Naval Convoy tips

There's a good chance that you've been scuttled by one of these convoys in Black Flag Resynced as they're quite tough, especially early on, so here are some tips for making them as easy as possible:

• Upgrade the Jackdaw: The reason Naval Convoys are tough at first is because the Jackdaw is far too weak for fighting multiple ships at once, especially if the enemy ships are rated three stars or higher. Visit Harbourmasters often and buy whatever upgrades you can, especially the ones that improve broadside cannons, the mortar, and the hull to make the Jackdaw stronger in both offensive and defensive capacities. Any Black Flag Resynced Ultimate ship upgrades will help a lot
• Target the escort ships first: These smaller ships can be annoying if not dealt with first and will wear down the Jackdaw to the point of sinking while you're distract by the lead ship. Start the engagement with a well-placed mortar shot on one or both escorts and, with enough mortar upgrades, you might even destroy both ships, taking them out of the fight before it's even started.
• Board the escort ships: Again, it's not essential that you board these ships, but it's a good idea to do so, giving you opportunities to get more loot and either repair the Jackdaw or reduce your Wanted Level to keep Pirate Hunters from interrupting. I almost always opt for repairs to ensure the Jackdaw has as much health as possible when going to attack the lead ship. Bear in mind that shooting or ramming immobilized ships instead of boarding grants reduce rewards too.
• Use the swivel guns when preparing to board: Once Edward releases the ship's wheel as you prepare to board, run immediately to the swivel guns either side and start firing shots at any red barrels or enemy crew members. Assuming you land your shots, you'll reduce their morale a fair bit before you've even properly boarded.
• Cut down the flag if you don't want to fight: Cutting the flag at the top of the main mast is a great way to reduce enemy morale significantly without having to be in the thick of the fighting if that's not your thing. Just watch out for any snipers in the other masts as any shots that hit you mid-climb can cause you to fall off the mast.
• Remember to brace: Holding Square/X to get your crew to brace reduces the damage enemy cannonballs deal, so don't forget to use this ability rather than going purely on the offensive. If you've got the Black Flag Resynced Officer upgrade, Perfect Brace, timing your brace just before the cannonballs hit the Jackdaw's hull will substantially reduce the damage. Just keep an eye out for the orange glow of cannon fuses on enemy ships, meaning a volley is inbound.

You'll notice that these Naval Convoys become much easier as you get more upgrades and Officers for your crew, helping you get plenty more Reales and useful resources that you can sell. Some of these can traded with the Treasure Hunter in Great Inagua to piece together ruined Black Flag Resynced Treasure Maps.

The Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced Sage and prison key are in the upper villa area of Torres' estate. Finding them isn’t too difficult, but the real challenge is trying to stay hidden to avoid a deadly battle with all the guards, especially if you're new to Assassin's Creed and Black Flag Resynced is your first stabby outing. Below, I've laid out the precise locations of both the Sage you need to rescue and the necessary prison key.

Black Flag Resynced Sage and prison key location

Both the Sage in Black Flag Resynced and the prison key are in the main villa area in the northern part of Torres' estate:

• Prison key: On the estate Warden, who can be initially found in the villa courtyard at 207,573.
• Sage prison cell: In the large square building in the northwest corner of Torres' estate, with the entrance at 204,575.

So, with this information in mind, the best way to complete rescue the Sage in Black Flag Resynced is to cross the plantation area and head up the stone steps in the southwest part of the estate, then head north towards the villa where you'll find a guarded gate. Climb over the wall to the left of the gate, then head east towards the villa. While not essential, you can also eavesdrop on some guards near the gate who mention the Warden mustering all the guards, so you can tail them towards the villa.

When you reach the villa, get onto the roof of the villa by climbing or using a lift (be aware of snipers up on the roof), then wait for the Warden to finish speaking to the guards. He'll then leave the courtyard and start patrolling the villa on his own, giving you plenty of opportunities to leap from the rooftops and assassinate him when no other guards are around. Loot the key from his body, then head over to the prison and unlock the door to complete the quest.

Just bear in mind that when you're skulking about trying to rescue the Sage in Black Flag Resynced, the estate is full of Spanish guards and alerting one or two of them may escalate into a large fight. Thankfully, there aren't any alarm bells for them to ring to bring the whole estate on you, which means that stealth isn't even essential, but it certainly makes things easier. Make good use of Eagle Vision (R3/RS) and aiming (L2/LT) to spot and mark guards; bushes and low walls to hide; whistling to lure guards over for assassinations; and smoke bombs to hide yourself and you'll get this quest done stealthily and smoothly.

The Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced statue puzzles that you come across in the Mayan temple during "The Sage's Buried Secret" quest aren't especially difficult, but there are some sticking points. While each of these Black Flag Resynced puzzles is solved by repositioning some large statues and matching colors, each one layers on more mechanics than the last, making the third and final puzzle a bit of thinker. If you want to breeze through them all, I've laid out the solutions for all the Black Flag statue puzzles in this temple below.

How to solve the Black Flag Resynced statue puzzles

Climb your way across the chasm using the collapsed wall and gnarled tree roots on the left to reach the first statue puzzle:

1. Leap onto the red statue (or climb on top of it if you missed the jump for whatever reason). Edward's weight will lower the statue into place and open the first door.
2. Climb up the wall and onto the blue statue. Again, this will lower the blue statue, causing the second door to open and revealing the way ahead.
3. Proceed with James Kidd through the doorway to the next area.

The second Black Flag statue puzzle in this main quest, which uses the same mechanics as before but introduces a new turntable system:

1. Grab the capstan and rotate the turntable so that the red side is under the red statue on the left.
2. Climb onto the red statue so that it gets weighed down (you'll notice a counterweight statue moving up as you do this, which is important later). This will open the way to the next area.
3. Carry on following Kidd, including a short swimming section through some underwater cave tunnels.

After swimming through the caves and climbing up the temple with Kidd, you'll arrive at the final statue puzzle for this quest which brings in the ability to raise statues by climbing onto the nearby counterweight statues, allowing you to rearrange their positions on the turntable. While this puzzle is simply a case of moving all the statues to their corresponding positions on the turntable as before, here's the easiest way to do it:

1. Start by climbing onto the counterweight statue next to the blue statue (on the left side of the room) to lift the blue statue up.
2. Rotate the turntable counterclockwise once so that the blue section is under the blue statue, then climb onto the blue statue to lower it. This will complete the blue section and open the first door.
3. Rotate the turntable counterclockwise once, placing the red statue in the top-left section of the turntable.
4. Climb onto the left counterweight statue again to raise the red statue, rotate the turntable counterclockwise once again so that the red section is under the red statue, then climb the red statue to lower it into the matching section, opening the second door.
5. Rotate the turntable counterclockwise one more time, then climb onto the green statue to weigh it down into the green section.

Now you'll unlock the third door and launch into a cutscene to wrap up "The Sage's Buried Secret" quest! But if you've already started moving parts around for this puzzle, there is unfortunately no way to reset it so that you can follow the solution above unless you reload a previous save. Focus on just getting one statue in the correct colored section, and then the rest of the solution should become much more obvious until you can solve it.
