The Phantom Blade Zero Festering Secret tasks you with helping the Mandate clear out some warriors in a sealed-off courtyard that have gone a bit evil due to Transcension. But you'll come up against some major obstacles along the way, the first being that you need to beat a nearby boss to be able to break the chains to the courtyard. The second is that you need to get a key for a gate which you can't reach until you defeat a different boss. To clear up how to complete this quest, I've laid out all the Festering Secret steps below.

Phantom Blade Zero Festering Secret walkthrough

After hearing the guards in front of the chained fence talking, here's what you need to do to complete the Festering Secret quest:

1. Defeat Peng Meng to get the Dread Axe.
2. Go back to the chain fence and use the axe to break the chains. This is also near where you can find the Phantom Blade Zero Cell Key.
3. Explore the courtyard area and kill everything.
4. Go to the Mandate captain dressed in white near the Outpost entrance gate and get his orders.
5. Progress through Weeping Creek Valley, hit the Creek Valley Plains Entrance Bell, and reach the Sha-Chi Tower.
6. Clear the Sha-Chi Tower and reach the Great Waterfall, then defeat The Hunt to get his Chain Sickles.
7. Go back to the Sha-Chi Tower, climb to the top, and grab the Sha-Chi Tower Base Camp Gate Key from the platform using the chain sickles to grapple up there.

8. Return to the Creek Valley Plains Entrance Bell and open the gate using the key.
9. Explore the base camp and find the blue-robed swordsman sitting at a table in a house. Speak to him to give him the captain's orders and you'll get a book page for the Phantom Blade Zero Four Fierce Axes quest in return.

10. Go back to the Outpost captain and speak to him to conclude the quest.

For your efforts, you'll get… nothing – how ungrateful. The captain will, however, tell you about a body on the cliff across the ravine.

Completing the Phantom Blade Zero Four Fierce Axes quest takes a long time as it requires you to reach the game's fourth region before it concludes. However, the bulk of the work is a hunt for book pages around Weeping Creek Valley, and you can't find all but one in your first few hours of playing. That last one is a right pain to get as it's locked off in an area of the valley you can only reach after getting to a completely different region of the game. So, if you're stuck at any point of the Four Fierce Axes quest in Phantom Blade Zero, I've laid out all the steps and book page locations below.

Phantom Blade Zero Four Fierce Axes walkthrough

Here's how you find all the pages of The "Four Axes" Case Files book and prove that The Axemaster, Peng Meng, was framed by leaders of the Mandate for a rebellion:

1. Defeat Peng Meng, The Axemaster to get 'The Axemaster's Final Request' book page, the first page of the 'The "Four Axes" Case Files' Book.
2. Collect the seven remaining "Four Axes" Case Files book pages. The locations of these pages will be marked on your map, though there's a chance you may have found some already too. You can collect them in any order:

3. Reach Pangzhen, the game's fourth region and get to the Huang Manor Crossroads Bell.
4. From the crossroads near this bell, go up the steps to the right, then immediately turn right again and head towards the tower with red lanterns and several Mandate warriors outside.
5. Fight your way inside the tower and climb to the top. After fighting the enemies on the top floor, you'll get the Pavillion of Knowledge Rooftop Key.
6. Use the key to open the door onto the roof and head out to find the Child of Insight.
7. Speak to the Child of Insight to complete the Four Fierce Axes quest.

Soul will provide the Child of Insight with the case file and, in return, the child will award the Axemaster's Blood Oath Dagger, which you can use to soul temper the Dread Axe to improve its charge-up speed. If you don't know what "soul tempering" is, you need to go down the other crossroads path in Pangzhen to eventually meet Myst.

The Phantom Blade Zero Whence the Weeping quest ends even later, making it a very long quest. When you return to Weeping Creek Valley for the final page, you may also want to try defeating the Phantom Blade Zero Three-Faced Puppet boss and take on the Phantom Blade Zero Gold-Masked One at the Long Pillar.

The Crimson Desert DLC allows you to get a pirate ship for yourself, a giant ship that you can use to explore and set up trade around the world. There are multiple types of ship that you can unlock along the way, and while most of these cost you money, Crimson Desert will set you up with a small ship as an (almost) free default – but that isn't your only option, and even then it's not easy to find that option. If you want to get the ship in the Charting the Unknown DLC, here's what you need to do.

For more about where to begin in this grand expansion, check out our guide on how to start the Crimson Desert DLC!

How do you get a ship in the Crimson Desert Charting the Unknown DLC?

To get a small ship in the Crimson Desert "Charting the Unknown" DLC expansion, as well as unlocking seafaring as a larger system, you need to take the following steps:

1. Make sure you've completed the Scattered Embers and Grounds of Sunrise quests (Hope From Ashes) associated with the Greymanes. These are part of the core game, but they appear to be mandatory to unlock the ship.
2. This should unlock a quest chain new for the DLC in Pailune city called Uncharting the Unknown (A Wider World) shown in the journal above, with the first mission being called "A Call from Beyond the Horizon".
3. Starting this quest will trigger conversation with your allies, followed by a task to go to Vellua port, marked on the Southern Coast.
4. Once you've arrived, inspect the port in the map to find a Dispatch Mission called "Small Shipbuilding."
5. This will cost your camp the following resources: 600 Stone, 600 Wood, 1,200 Food and 10,000 Silver. You'll also need to assign 5 Greymanes to it for 5 hours, and one must have the Engineering Skill.
6. Once complete, you will be given a ship, as well as a follow-up mission that teaches you how to use it called "Where the Wind Blows".

This is by no means the beginning and end of shipbuilding in Crimson Desert. From this point players will either be able to buy or construct larger ships, which will cost you increasingly large amounts of money and resources. You can either buy them from Fleet Offices, or through Dispatch Missions like the one where you bought your first ship.

GTA 6 animals are going to represent the broadest zoological spread ever seen in a Rockstar game, with a diverse selection of over 170 different species represented. This includes more than 60 types of bird, over 30 land mammals, plus a variety of reptiles, fish, and much more. Whether you find them in the wildernesses of GTA 6 or an enclosure in Leonida's own zoo there will be plenty to discover, so here's what we know so far about the animals in GTA 6.

Visiting the zoo is one of many GTA 6 side activities available, but if you want a quiet trip then you'll need to lose your GTA 6 Wanted Level first.

GTA 6 animals list

Through a combination of trailers, screenshots, and previews there are already plenty of GTA 6 animals that we know about. These include:

• Alligator
• Bald Eagle
• Bear
• Cane toad
• Cat (domestic and feral)
• Cougar
• Cow
• Deer
• Dog (various breeds)
• Dolphin
• Duck
• Flamingo
• Frog
• Green iguana
• Jellyfish
• Manatee
• Manta ray
• Nine-banded armadillo
• Pelican
• Pigeon
• Raccoon
• Rat
• Rhesus macaque monkey
• Sea turtle
• Seagull
• Shark (various species)
• Snake
• Whale
• Whooping Crane

The variety of creatures includes both expected wildlife for each area and invasive species, reflecting the diversity seen in real-life Florida. Each will have accurate movement animations following significant research, and are going to look more realistic than ever before thanks to additions such as iridescence, bioluminescence, translucency, and even different types of feathers. Coats and pelts have also been upgraded, with new hair and fur systems offering color variations, appearance changes when wet, and dirt matting picked up from the environment.

As seen during the Extended Look, you'll be presented with a choice of interactions when you approach GTA 6 animals and they'll respond accordingly. When Jason encounters a dog in the apartment complex, he has the option to Praise it from a distance then either Scold or Pet the dog when up close. Importantly, there is also an option to Study the animal, which will then add it to your compendium in a similar way to Red Dead Redemption 2, and there are likely to be rewards for filling in your logbook with the creatures you investigate.

Rare, Discoverable, and Legendary animals

In addition to the general GTA 6 animal species that you'll encounter around Leonida, Rockstar have confirmed that there will also be plenty of unusual creatures that you can track, in a similar way to the Red Dead Redemption series. These will be divided into Rare, Discoverable, and Legendary categories, but beyond that they are staying tight-lipped on details for now as they want players to make surprising discoveries for themselves while they explore.

Get ready to turn up the volume on all of the confirmed songs from the GTA 6 soundtrack, and imagine cruising around these GTA 6 locations.

Looking at SMGs, the best VEL 46 loadout is tricky to figure out, as it’ll depend on your tastes and intended use. Players favour assault rifles and SMGs overall as the best guns in MW4, and they’re not wrong to do so. In close-quarter and mid-range engagements in particular there's a clear advantage to using fast firing Vel 46, so I've cooked three builds that adapt to different styles - a run and gun option as well as something for mid range and long range, as much as you can push an SMG at least.

VEL 46 run-and-gun build

• Muzzle: FSS Crackdown Heavy Silencer
• Laser: QFL-S4.5 Bright Hip Laser
• Underbarrel: V46 Vert-Tac Vertical Grip
• Magazine: 60-Round Drum
• Stock: Exp U-Turn Stock

You mainly want two things from a killer close-range SMG build, and that’s mobility, silence, and plenty of bullets per mag to burn through. This VEL 46 run-and-gun build takes care of all that.

First, put the FSS Crackdown Heavy Silencer on it for extra damage at range, accuracy, and help with staying silent while infiltrating enemy territory. Then, go with the QFL-S4.5 Bright Hip Laser for good accuracy while running around and without an optic attachment. Finally, the build comes together when you mix of the V46 Vert-Tac Vertical Grip, 60-Round Drum magazine, and Exp U-Turn Stock for mobility and extra hipfire recoil handling.

VEL 46 mid-range build

• Barrel: RV-B V2 Light Barrel
• Laser: XRK Clutch-LS Dim ADS Laser
• Stock: VEL 46 Extended Tactical Stock
• Optic: VLK Trimmer Reflex
• Rear Grip: LM Combat Grip

The best VEL 46 mid range loadout doesn’t magically turn the SMG into an assault rifle, but it’s a fantastic all-around performer that doesn’t sacrifice the high mobility the weapon class is known for. With the RV-B V2 Light Barrel and XRK Clutch-LS Dim ADS Laser, quick and snappy ADS aiming is preserved, as we’re not going with hipfire as our main target again.

When it comes to the optic slot, any x1 or x2 option works, but the VLK Trimmer Reflex is a good fit for SMGs that doesn’t take up much space. Finally, to keep this build nimble and ADS-oriented, put the VEL 46 Extended Tactical Stock and LM Combat Grip on it.

Best VEL 46 long-range build

• Barrel: VB-46 Series 11 Long Barrel
• Muzzle: FSS Crackdown Heavy Silencer
• Underbarrel: FSS Tac90 Angled Short Grip
• Optic: Cronen R808
• Stock: EXP Lockdown Heavy Short Stock

Turning this SMG into a long-range weapon might sound like a bad idea on paper, but don’t underestimate what the best VEL 46 long-range build can do. Even if I favour damage at long range and accuracy while ADSing, it remains extremely reliable in close encounters.

For the optic slot, we recommend the Cronen R808, as you don’t want to engage with faraway opponents and x4 is more than enough for this weapon. Then, we’ve gone with the VB-46 Series 11 Long Barrel, FSS Crackdown Heavy Silencer (too good to pass up), FSS Tac90 Angled Short Grip, and EXP Lockdown Heavy Short Stock for mix of strong long-range performance, ADS accuracy, and even decent hipfire. This bad boy will make you forget about ARs if you know how to use it.

The best M4 loadout can take many shapes, and I'm of the opinion there’s no definitive answer. It all depends on how you play, and what kind of game mode you're playing in. Despite heated debates about which MW4 assault rifle is the best, I have a soft spot for the M4, one of the most iconic modern weapons, a Modern Warfare series mainstay and one best MW 4 guns if you tune it right.

I've got a few options here from a run and gun build to mid and long range builds. Scroll down to see my suggestions.

M4 run-and-gun build

• Muzzle: FSS IS300 Heavy Silencer
• Laser: Bruen 22-LPW Bright Hip Laser
• Vertical Grip: GW Domi-9 Short Grip
• Magazine: 60-Round Drum
• Stock: No Stock

There’s something uniquely cool about turning an assault rifle into an oversized “tommy gun”, and the best M4 close-quarters loadout I’ve cooked does exactly that while also keeping it silent with the FSS IS300 Heavy Silencer (you can go loud if you want, though).

The three key attachments here are the Bruen 22-LPW Bright Hip Laser, the GW Domi-9 Vertical Short Grip, and the 60-Round Drum mag. This combo essentially turns it into a highly mobile weapon with good range, better hipfire accuracy, and even decent mobility. Finally, lose the optic slot and select No Stock for a nimbler build that can clear an entire room in a few seconds.

M4 mid-range build

• Barrel: 11.5” Shortline Light Short Barrel
• Laser: SZ Gen.6 PEQ Bright ADS Laser
• Vertical Grip: FSS Fireline Angled Grip
• Optic: SZ Helios Holo
• Rear Grip: ZLR Phase Skeleton Grip

This balanced M4 mid range loadout keeps the class mobile, accurate, and lethal in all sorts of gunfights, though it might fall a bit short in long-range shootouts. My main goal was to improve mobility and ADS speed, and the SZ Gen.6 PEQ laser, 11.5” Shortline light short barrel, FSS Fireline angled grip, and ZLR Phase Skeleton Grip all take care of that.

You can do what you want with the optic slot, but make sure it doesn’t lower the ADS speed. At most, you’ll need a zoom level of around x2, so we went with the SZ Helios Holo, which just works really well with most guns in the game.

M4 long-range build

• Barrel: 18” LE Crosswind Long Barrel
• Muzzle: FSS IS300 Heavy Silencer
• Ammunition: 5.56 NATO High Velocity
• Optic: Cronen R808
• Rear Grip: Schlager STB Sniper Grip

This M4 long-range loadout is all about building a silent weapon that can beam enemies from afar. I’ve gone with the FSS IS300 Heavy Silencer again; it’s just too good to ignore. What makes the build come together is the mix of the 18” LE Crosswind Long Barrel (much better range), the Schlager STB Sniper Grip for better accuracy when standing still or moving slow, and the 5.56 NATO High Velocity ammo to make those bullets fly faster.

Different players might prefer different sniper scopes or long-range sights, but we’re faithful to the Cronen R808, which is just visually clean and provides a x4 zoom that feels like more than enough for a tuned-up AR.

The Phantom Blade Zero Gold-Masked One is a mysterious recurring boss you'll find at Long Pillars throughout the game, who is also a lethal swordsman like Soul. That means fighting him is pretty difficult, serving as a reflex test. Ultimately, that means there's not much advice to impart other than – I'm going to say it – getting good. But there are some things to bear in mind for your build and during the fight, so here's my advice for beating the Gold-Masked One in Phantom Blade Zero.

Phantom Blade Zero Gold-Masked One boss fight tips

Defeating the Gold-Masked One in Phantom Blade Zero's Long Pillar's essentially comes down to your ability to perfectly parry and dodge his attacks. It's like the Phantom Blade Zero Three-Faced Puppet boss in that it's testing your understanding of the game's combat, so here's how you beat him:

1. Learn his blue and red-flash attacks and play defensively: The Gold-Masked One uses all sorts of rapid sword combos that you can easily block but also throws in a lot of blue and red-flash attacks to end them – parry the former and dodge the latter, then quickly go on the attack to wear down his Sha-Chi and break his guard. Crucially, you need to be highly reactive when he's attacking as many of his blue and red-flash moves are similar-looking jumping overhead attacks, so you can't easily predict what's coming.
2. Avoid his grab attack as best as you can: This is much easier said than done as it feels like your reaction to this barely telegraphed red-flash attack must be instant. Mess it up and you'll get a beating that shreds Soul's health. You can at least heal easily afterwards while the Masked One collects his sword, but getting hit by this repeatedly is a surefire way to rapidly chew through your medicine.
3. Use the Ancient Armor Fragment and Medicine Case Accessories: These Accessories can be obtained in Weeping Creek Valley. The Ancient Armor Fragment found outside the Crimson Manor gives you damage resistance based on how full your health is. And the Medicine Case, which you get from completing Yu'er's Apprentice Healer quest, improves the amount of health your medicine restores. Together, these make any boss fight much more forgiving, especially making the Gold-Masked One's grab attack far less deadly.
4. Avoid using Phantom Edge attacks: I've found that most Phantom Edge weapons are generally too slow to be any more effective than Soul's normal weapons. Importantly, the Gold-Masked One can continue attacking even when you're hitting him with a Phantom Edge, so don't use one when his Sha-Chi guard is intact.

Successfully dodge and parry your way through the fight and you'll eventually overcome the Gold-Masked One… for now. Bear in mind that the same advice applies whenever you fight him, but he also gains different moves at each Long Pillar throughout Phantom Blade Zero. For example, at the second Long Pillar, the Gold-Masked One employs Sha-Chi draining strikes, forcing you to also master switching your weapons.

However, for each Long Pillar victory against the Gold-Masked one you'll learn more about this mysterious warrior and get an Accessory – the first being Counterstrike Bracers, which give you a short damage buff after parrying.

If you're still in Weeping Creek Valley, go and defeat the Phantom Blade Zero Hua boss and collect the Phantom Blade Zero Flesh Lily for Yu'er.

With Assault rifles continuing to dominate alongside SMGs in Warfare 4, a good Han 86 loadout will go a long way. Despite being the starting AR it's a reliable MW4 weapon worth investing in. The best Han 86 loadout will depend on what your playstyle, so I've got you covered with three Han 86 builds for very different situations, including a run-and-gun build, a mid-range and a long range build.

Han 86 run-and-gun build

• Barrel: Han 86 Silenced 413mm
• Laser: QFL-S4.5 Bright Hip Laser
• Vertical Grip: Mire-50 Tac Grip
• Magazine: 60-Round Drum
• Stock: FR4 Retractable Stock

This Han 86 close range loadout involves turning it into a beefy SMG of sorts. First of all, you’ll want the Han 86 Silenced 413mm barrel to preserve damage while staying to stay as quiet as possible as you push into enemy territory. The 60-round drum magazine ensures you don’t run out of gas when several opponents are in front of you.

Finally, we looked for laser, vertical grip, and tactical stock picks that ensure a high level of mobility and hipfire accuracy, though it could theoretically be turned into a more balanced close-range build too. Just don’t waste an attachment slot on an optic here.

Han 86 mid-range build

• Barrel: SA K556 16” Light Barrel
• Laser: XRK Clutch-LS Dim ADS Laser
• Vertical Grip: Mire-50 Tac Grip
• Optic: SZ Helios Holo
• Rear Grip: XRK Justice II Grip

This Han 86 balanced loadout is all about quick and snappy aim with decent range and good handling for reliable performance in all sorts of firefights. The SA K556 16” Light Barrel, XRK Clutch-LS Dim ADS Laser, and XRK Justice II Grip help make the ADS time as fast as possible.

Meanwhile, the Mire-50 Tac Grip ensures recoil isn’t too much, and while you can go with another holo sight, I'm quite fond of the SZ Helios because of its zoom level and clean visuals.

Han 86 long-range build

• Barrel: Hanbit Lightning-7 Heavy Long Barrel
• Muzzle: ZLR Reverb90
• Ammunition: 5.56 NATO High Velocity
• Optic: Cronen R808
• Rear Grip: Hanbit H86 Grip

The goal behind this Han 86 long-range loadout is turning it into a highly accurate AR, perfect for holding down positions without sacrificing its mid-range strengths. The ZLR Reverb90 and Hanbit Lightning-7 Heavy Long Barrel ensure it has high long-range damage without being too hard to control. We also put the Cronen R808 on it for long-range engagements, as anything above a 4x scope feels silly on an AR; it produces a small sniper glint, but you’re not playing sneaky with this build anyway.

Lastly, 5.56 NATO High Velocity ammo ensures the bullets are as fast as they can be. The Hanbit H86 Grip may not feel like a must here, but we’ve found it also helps with accuracy.

Wondering how to start the Crimson Desert DLC? Charting the Unknown is the first major expansion for the game, but rather than adding a single story or questline for players to pursue, it actually adds a variety of new quests and challenges for different characters and areas that all start in different places. With that in mind, I'll explain how to find the start of all of these DLC threads in Crimson Desert, so you know where to look for all the ways to start Charting the Unknown.

All Crimson Desert DLC questlines

There are multiple quests and side quests as part of the Crimson Desert DLC, all of which have their own individual starting points. Here's where to find all of them.

• Kliff's Quest: Complete the main story of Crimson Desert, then go to North Pailune City.
• Damiane's Quest: Complete the main story of Crimson Desert, then go to East Demeniss City.
• Oongka's Quest: Complete the main story of Crimson Desert, then go to Northwest Pailune City.
• Shipbuilding / Ocean questline: Complete the Scattered Embers and Grounds of Sunrise quests in the main game, then go to Pailune City for the "A Wider World" quest.
• Housing questline: Complete the "Howling Hill" quest and "Luke's Request" in the main game before heading to the Furniture shop at the camp.
• Garden of Trials: Complete the main story of the Crimson Desert main game, then go to the Axiom Archive Abyss (where you first meet Alustin) in Path of Providence. A cinematic will show you to the Garden, south of the main building (seen above).

There is other content included in the DLC, including new facilities that you can unlock around the map, as well as the new option to romance and even marry NPCs throughout the game (and divorce them once the honeymoon period is over).

However, what you have above is the full range of full questlines and major story content, as well as the requirements needed. As you can see, the major quests for each character require that you complete the main story, though some parts of Charting the Unknown can be played without doing that.

Where to start Kliff's DLC quest

Kliff's story quest "Beyond the Margins" and its first stage "A Moment's Respite" is found here, in North Central Pailune Capital, though you will have to have beaten the main story to unlock this.

Where to start Damiane's DLC quest

Damiane's story quest "From the Ashes" and first task "Reclaimed and Reamining" understandably starts in Demeniss, her home nation, specifically at the location shown above, in the West of the Demeniss Capital. Like with Kliff, you'll need to have beaten the main story of the core game.

Where to start Oongka's DLC quest

Oongka's story quest for Charting the Unknown also appears in Pailune, like Kliff, and like Kliff you'll also have to have put the time in and completed the main story. You can find his story quest "Forged Resolve" and the first task "A New Path" in North East Pailune City.

Where to start the Shipbuilding and Ocean DLC quests

If you want to live a pirate's life, you need to start a quest chain that starts with "A Wider World", the first mission of which is called "A Call From Beyond the Horizon." You can find this in Pailune City after completing the Scattered Embers and Grounds of Sunrise (Hope From Ashes) quests. For more info, check out our guide on how to get the ship in the Crimson Desert DLC.

Where to start the Housing DLC quests

To find the Housing content, complete Luke's Request in the "Grounds of the Sunrise" Greymane's faction quest, then head to the Howling Hill camp and specifically the furniture shop, where this will begin the content accordingly.

Garden of Trials location

The Garden of Trials is found in the Axiom Archive in the Abyss layer, in the West Path of Providence where you first meet Alustin. When you approach the main building, there'll be a cinematic of a White Raven that shows you to the new location, South of the Building.

The Mimic codes might go some way to keep you alive in this twisted game of hide and seek, but you're also going to need a certain level of skill and stealth if you want to get out alive. You see, you can't just hide, you need to complete challenges while evading enemies, which sometimes just isn't possible.

This horror Roblox experience is at least a little generous, though, allowing you to keep your progress each time you die provided you have some Revives to your name, which is exactly where these The Mimic codes come in handy.

The latest Call of Duty instalment has kicked off to a good start with players enjoying the updated DMZ mode, embarking on a new campaign, and arguing over TTK and SBMM, of course. We always want more, though, so if you - like me - are counting down to the release of MW4 Season 1, here's everything you need to know.

For the first half of Season 1, there are confirmed additions for DMZ and multiplayer, including new modes and events, new multiplayer maps, and a new location to visit in DMZ. So, for more details, here's the MW4 Season 1 roadmap so far.

MW4 Season 1 release date

The MW4 Season 1 release date is Friday, November 6, 2026, at 12AM ET / 5AM GMT, which is 9PM PT on Thursday, November 5.

This will be the first time that the game's Battle Pass becomes available, and, as such, there will be plenty of new weapons, blueprints, attachments, and operator skins to unlock. Of course there will also be new maps, modes, and events added as the season progresses, too. Here's the lowdown so far.

Don't forget that this is all only half the season as we barrel towards Season 1 Reloaded, and anything here that is labelled as 'in-season' is set to arrive after the Season 1 release date but before mid-season.

Season 1 content

This is all coming to MW4 in Season 1, for players of both multiplayer and DMZ:

• New weapons and attachments
  • CSG-35 SMG (Battle Pass reward)
  • Cronen Osprey AR (Battle Pass reward)
  • Jak 12 shotgun (in-season, event reward)
  • ZLR Talonhawk melee weapon (in-season, event reward)
  • Hyeon Auto Apex attachment (in-season, event reward)
  • Kastov 545 Apex attachment (in-season, event reward)
  • M16 Burst attachment (in-season, event reward)
• New Operators
  • Blix (Battle Pass reward)
  • Zero (Blackcell reward)

Across both multiplayer and DMZ, we'll see the addition of a few new weapons, APEX attachments, blueprints, operators, and more thanks to the game's first Battle Pass and this season's events, including Wager Watch. The one I'm looking forward to most is perhaps the new ZLR Talonhawk melee weapon, which appears as though it should give a bit more range than my trusty knife.

Some of these new guns may even find their way into our list of the best MW4 weapons, so keep an eye on it once the season launches.

New multiplayer content

Here's everything we know is coming to MW4 multiplayer in Season 1 so far:

• New multiplayer maps
  • Backstab (new)
  • Canyon (new)
  • Shoot House (returning)
  • Overflow (new, in-season)
  • Ministry (new, in-season)
  • and more...
• New multiplayer modes
  • Gauntlet 1v1
  • Dropzone
  • Grind
• New static Kill Block combo
• Wager Watch event

As ever, there's a lot of new content coming to multiplayer in Season 1, including some brand-new maps and a returning favorite from Modern Warfare 2 and 3: Shoot House. Perhaps the most interesting addition, though, is the Gauntlet 1v1 mode, which sees the Gauntlet 6v6 mode return from BO7, only this time in a thrilling 1v1 setup, presumably with much smaller maps.

New DMZ content

Here's what we know is coming to MW4 DMZ in Season 1 so far:

• New location
  • X01
• New boss threats
  • Tae-Hyun AKA 'Knuckle'
  • Chol-Min AKA 'The Wrench'
  • and more...
• Deep vault
• 3D Printer
• Vendor (Blackcell only)

It may not seem like it, but there's a lot to get to grips with here, as a bunch of new navigation comes to the DMZ Forward Operating Base in the form of a vendor for Blackcell owners; Boss Boards, for keeping an eye on new bosses and any intel on them; a 3D printer, the use for which is still redacted at this point; and other ways to sort and perfect your loadout.

There are also new bosses and the new X01 location, which is teeming with incredibly tough opponents.

Season 1 brings even more chances to try and get that impressive MW4 Nuke killstreak, as well as the coolest MW4 mastery camos.

Defeating the Phantom Blade Zero Aberrant Three-Faced Puppet is difficult but this is a boss you're meant to discover early and come back to later. It's also a much simpler fight than it seems as you effectively just have to play very defensively until you break the puppet's guard and then go on the attack. The main issue is that the Three-Faced Puppet has a lot of health and takes a long time to defeat. My tips below will help you bring this Phantom Blade Zero boss as quickly and painlessly as possible.

Phantom Blade Zero Three-Faced Puppet boss fight tips

The Aberrant Three-Faced Puppet boss in Phantom Blade Zero is a test of your endurance and the fundamentals of combat that you probably won't have honed the first time you face it. After dying, Soul will even talk about how this is not an enemy he can face now, but it's not invincible. You just need to come back later once you've got some better weapons and accessories (your weapons should be at least level 10), improved your health and Sha-Chi, and mastered parrying – taking in some Phantom Blade Zero tips will help too:

• Be prepared for a long fight: Even with upgraded gear, the Three-Faced Puppet is still incredibly spongey and takes a very long time to wear down. When I finally beat it, it took around seven minutes of almost constant parrying, and losing focus even briefly can put a quick end to your attempt.
• Parry, parry, parry: I've mentioned it plenty already, but this is the best tip I can give for overcoming this fight. The Three-Face Puppet's attacks are quite fast but well-telegraphed and reasonably predictable, meaning they're easier to parry than they look. Since the Three-Faced Puppet also doesn't seem to have any blue-flash attacks, you've got to perfect parry every attack you can to quickly break its guard.
• Get the Ancient Armor Fragment Accessory: You can find this Accessory outside the Crimson Manor, which is reached via a lift under the Sha-Chi Tower in Weeping Creek Valley. It provides great damage resistance, making many of the Three-Faced Puppet's attacks less deadly, so the fight is less likely to go very wrong very quickly. I'd argue it's one of the best Accessories in the game and you should wear it for every boss fight at the very least.
• Don't try to attack while the puppet's guard is up: The Three-Faced Puppet attacks relentlessly, so there's very little point in trying to get a hit or two in as this will likely harm you more than the puppet, especially if you end up missing a parry as a result. But once you break its guard, go all-out with Sha-Chi attacks and Power Surges.
• Switching weapons is essential: Because you must be so defensive in the face of the puppet's hard and fast attacks, including plenty of devastating Sha-Chi-draining blows, keeping your Sha-Chi up is crucial. Keep an eye on your Sha-Chi bar and switch weapons as soon as it gets close to emptying, instantly refilling it.
• Heal when the puppet goes through a rift: The puppet attacks relentlessly throughout the boss fight, so you don't get many chances to heal, but make the most of the brief opportunities when it flies through a portal.

Endure the parry-fest and you'll bring down the Three-Faced Puppet eventually, though there aren't many useful rewards for doing so. You'll get 30,600 Remnant Dust, the Three-Headed Doll story item, and the next step of the Triple Threat quest, which is to find out the identity of the puppet.

If you haven't already, make sure you defeat the Phantom Blade Zero Hua boss and collect the Phantom Blade Zero Flesh Lily for Yu'er.

The Phantom Blade Zero Hua boss fight is an optional encounter early in the game, and she's quite a tough one to beat. Wielding a massive sword and summoning flowers that sap your Sha-Chi, this puppet bride really tests your positioning as you need to constantly stay moving to stay out of danger. While she moves slowly, she also has some fast and savage attacks to be aware of, including a lethal grab attack that's not always easy to avoid. So, bear my tips in mind when facing Hua in Phantom Blade Zero and you'll cut her strings with ease.

Phantom Blade Zero Hua boss fight tips

Hua can have a lot going on in her boss fight but once you know how to deal with her attacks and powers, she's quite simple and doesn't require any specific weapons to beat – although, as my Phantom Blade Zero tips say, you might want to use the Wooden Sanguine sword to parry as you'll deal substantial guard break damage, which is great against Hua. As with pretty much all combat in Phantom Blade Zero, you just need to stay focused and react quickly:

• Most of Hua's attacks are slow and easy to parry: She swings her massive blade around in wide slashes which are all pretty easy to parry, even during her combos. Parry as much as you can and you'll deal solid Sha-Chi guard damage and wear her down. One of the only attacks that can be tricky to deal with is her teleport, where she will suddenly reappear from a different angle attacking immediately.
• Watch out for her overhead attack: Just make sure you don't try to parry her overhead slam that turns your screen briefly black and white as this will drain so much Sha-Chi in one go that you'll often end up guard broken and vulnerable to other attacks. However, heavy attacks like this one also mean a longer recovery time for Hua, giving you a chance to get a couple of slashes in and wear her down.
• Be ready to dodge her grab: Hua has one red-flash attack and it's a brutal grab that deals substantial damage. It was responsible for several deaths of mine, and she often uses it at the end of a combo, so be ready to dodge rather than parry.

• You also need to avoid all flowers! Hua summons several types of flower throughout the fight, each complicating things in different ways:
  • Red flower patches: While standing in these flower patches or rings, your Sha-Chi steadily drains. After a while, they'll explode. Get away from them as quickly as possible. Don't confuse these with the lighter-red flowers already in the arena – thankfully, these ones don't drain your Sha-Chi!
  • Large white flowers: Hua will throw out several of these at once and they'll aggressively seek you. If one hits, you'll be briefly incapacitated, allowing Hua to instantly perform her grab attack. Blocking them is best but they can also be dodged.
  • Large red flowers: If one hits, it deals damage and drains Sha-Chi. These often orbit Hua and will eventually converge and explode. Stay away from them as best as you can.

Successfully stay out of the way of all the flowers and make good use of punish phases from breaking her guard and you'll defeat Hua eventually. Depending on the level of your weapons, this fight might be quite a slog, so, if you're struggling, I recommend coming back to Hua once you've done most of what there is to do in the Weeping Creek Valley.

But defeat Hua and you'll get her Scarlet Wraithblade, a hefty armament whose Sha-Chi attacks summon those draining flower patches, and it's pretty good! Before leaving the boss arena, make sure you also collect the Phantom Blade Zero Flesh Lily that Yu'er requested and gather the remaining book pages to complete the Hua The Bride book.

Weeping Creek Valley has plenty of other quests and things to find like the Phantom Blade Zero cell key but you don't need to worry about the Phantom Blade Zero Whence The Weeping quest.

The new Crimson Desert DLC, Charting the Unknown, will be out soon, but if you're a die hard fan of the enormous fantasy world, you'll want to know the exact release time and date, so you can start leaping into this ocean-themed adventure as soon as possible. Charting the Unknown will have simultaneous releases on all major platforms where Crimson Desert is available, so the release times and dates will apply for every console out there.

All release times for the Crimson Desert DLC Charting the Unknown

The Crimson Desert DLC Charting the Unknown will release at the following times, depending on your region and time zone:

• PDT / West Coast: 3PM, October 29 2026
• EDT / East Coast: 6PM, October 29 2026
• UK / GMT: 10PM, October 29 2026
• Europe / CET: 11PM, October 29 2026

It should go without saying that the Charting the Unknown DLC is exactly that: an expansion pack that requires the full game, not a standalone.

Pearl Abyss have also stated that players will have needed to complete the main story quest of Crimson Desert to access all the content available, so if you haven't beaten the final boss, you'll want to go back into the game and quickly work your way through to the end credits. Likewise, the game has been through multiple major updates at a pretty consistent rate since its launch, so if you haven't played it for a while, you might be well advised to go back in and see what's changed since the last time you were in.

The Phantom Blade Zero 'Whence The Weeping' quest is one of the first you'll pick up as Soul can hear a woman crying in the Weeping Creek Valley with no clear source, but there's not much to be done at first. This is a long-term quest that doesn't really require you to do anything specific for many hours – just following the main story will suffice. That means there's not much to explain but if you want to know when you need to be paying attention to 'Whence The Weeping' and how to complete it, here's what you need to do.

I've kept things vague but be aware of mild spoilers below!

Phantom Blade Zero Whence the Weeping walkthrough

As mentioned, the 'Whence the Weeping' quest in Phantom Blade Zero mostly leaves you to your own devices throughout the early stages of the game. That means you don't have to really do anything but be patient until about halfway through:

1. After first hearing the weeping in the Weeping Creek Valley and beginning the 'Whence The Weeping' quest, you must "find the source" of the weeping, though there is no source to find here. Just press on through the creek to reach the Crimson Forest.
2. Follow the main quest through the Crimson Forest and you'll pick up more details about the weeping, eventually leading you to the final boss of the area. Beat them to reach the next region, the Village of Lu.
3. Carry on and you'll meet Jewel in the Village of Lu region. Exhaust all her dialogue options, particularly the one about 'faint weeping', to learn about the Illusory Pipa and the Chord, who seems to be the source of the weeping and is likely in the northern mountains.
4. Reach the Pangzhen region and meet Myst, then beat the final boss of Pangzhen to unlock a way into the Meigu Lake region.
5. Find all three pieces of the Illusory Pipa and visit Myst to repair it.
6. Head to the barrier in Meigu Lake and use the pipa to bring it down, then enter the now accessible region beyond.
7. Defeat the final boss of this region to finally complete the quest.

Weeping Creek Valley has plenty of other quests and things to find like the Phantom Blade Zero cell key and the Phantom Blade Zero Flesh Lily.

Redeeming Ishin codes is a great way to stock up on Rerolls so you can change your character - from the way they look to their fighting style. Meanwhile, Yen is used to upgrade your character, and you'll need both to get the most out of this school simulation game.

There are of course different ways to enjoy this Roblox experience. You might want to simply participate in school life, learn to play an instrument, or hang out at the cat cafe, but you can also learn to protect yourself and your friends from other schoolkids in a bid for control. Either way, these are the latest Ishin codes you'll want to redeem.

While you're here, take a look at the latest Roblox promo codes that grant rewards to your Roblox account for use across experiences.

All Ishin codes

These are the Ishin codes you can redeem right now:

• HALLO - 65x Rerolls
• PETS - 12,500x Yen
• WATER - 5,000x Yen
• SOSORRY - 40x Rerolls
• restart - 40x Rerolls
• 3KTHANKS - 45x Rerolls

Ishin codes tend to award players with either Yen or Rerolls, so depending on your needs, you might not always get what you want. That said, both are super useful, and these promos are certainly generous with how much they give away for free.

How to redeem Ishin codes

To redeem Ishin codes, you must first join the Luure Roblox group. Then you'll be able to redeem promos in-game by opening the main menu. To do this, hit Tab on keyboard, the menu button on controller, or the menu icon on mobile, shown as three horizontal lines. Next, select the Codes option from the bottom of the list. Enter a code into the [CODE] box and click Claim to get your rewards.

It's worth keeping in mind that Ishin codes are case-sensitive, so make sure you enter them exactly as they appear in the list above.

Expired Ishin codes

• GG
• WHEELS
• ripscythe
• RELEASE!
• WEBACK

A few Ishin codes have already expired, and those currently on our list at the top of the page will no doubt be invalidated in time, so be sure to redeem them as soon as you see them.

These Phantom Blade Zero tips will give you a helping hand if you've just started the wuxia adventure through the Wulin, as there's a lot to learn and master. As a fast-paced action game with all sorts of weapons to wield, you need to learn how to use them all effectively, be that through deft parrying and weapon switching and just knowing how best to upgrade them and sort your build. And then there's plenty to do in each region of the game too, from pages to collect and quests to complete. With that all that in mind, here are 12 Phantom Blade Zero tips for new players just getting into it.

1. Learn how to parry

Parrying is an essential mechanic in Phantom Blade Zero, so my number one tip is to learn how it works as soon as possible – it's the same in most other games in that you want to press the button (L1 on PS5) just before an enemy attack hits you. Thankfully, it's pretty forgiving, with most enemy attacks having plenty of parry-able frames and most of Soul's attacks and combos being easily interrupted to parry. Just don't try and parry red-flash attacks as these can only be dodged!

When bosses use long attack combos, blocking by holding the button instead will do you just fine. But a perfect parry against a blue-flash attack deals substantial Guard Break damage, massively draining an adversary's Sha-Chi to stagger them faster. Nailing parries makes boss fights much easier!

2. Interact with everything in sight

Phantom Blade Zero features all sorts of collectibles and interactables around the world, from things like book pages to gather and bloody writing on walls to read. It's worth engaging with all of these as you're rewarded with Remnant Dust (the game's main currency) for doing so. Admittedly, not loads of the stuff, but it all adds up, helping you afford crucial weapon upgrades or work towards new Abilities.

3. Explore each area thoroughly before moving onto the next one

While you can freely travel between regions using Bells, I found that it's best to ensure you've done as much as possible before leaving a region. Try and find things like keys before heading off as they're usually not too far from the thing they unlock, such as the Phantom Blade Zero cell key. There are also quests you can fail by leaving them too long, such as the 'A Healer's Mercy' quest in the Crimson Forest, which will lock you out of getting a reward.

4. Don't spend loads of Remnant Dust on upgrade materials

By rinsing each area as I went, I also found that I had plenty of upgrade materials for my weapons and Phantom Edges. That also meant I rarely felt compelled to buy materials from the shop while resting at a Bell and I recommend similarly restraining yourself so that you don't waste your Remnant Dust. And it's not like selling materials is especially lucrative either, so save your materials for when you need them and keep your Remnant Dust for other upgrades.

5. Be prepared to backtrack

While I strongly recommend mopping up quests and investigating secrets as you go, you also need to recognize that there are lots of things you just won't be able to do until you come back several hours later. Conveniently, many of these things are marked on the map with a red icon that turns green when you have the thing you need. As an example, very early on you'll find obstacles that can only be dealt with using a specific Phantom Edge that you won't get for another few hours after a boss fight (and this happens a lot throughout the game), and there's also an optional puppet boss found in a rift that is extremely difficult to fight, so you'll need to come back later when you're stronger.

Furthermore, lots of quests in Phantom Blade Zero follow a Dark Souls/Elden Ring format in that you do a few objectives and then then the quest will effectively go cold and continue elsewhere, such as the Phantom Blade Zero Flesh Lily quest. This is often in an entirely different region, so some side quests are long term adventures that you complete alongside the main quest.

6. Switch weapons in combat often to keep your Sha-Chi up

Phantom Blade Zero teaches you this very early but I need to reinforce how important it is. Quickly tapping the button (D-Pad Left on PS5) to switch to your other equipped weapon will instantly refill your Sha-Chi, potentially saving you from a Guard Break after facing an onslaught of enemy attacks or letting you keep up a relentless combo of Sha-Chi attacks of your own. Importantly, there is a cooldown timer for switching – a very short one when you switch once but then a much longer one if you switch again – but you can reduce it with certain Abilities.

To keep your Sha-Chi up, you also need to avoid boss attacks that can instantly drain all your Sha-Chi. Rather than being telegraphed with a blue or red flash, your screen will turn black and white very briefly instead, indicating that you need to dodge out the way. Getting hit, by one of these leaves you highly vulnerable to fatal follow-up attacks.

7. And you should change your weapons outside of combat too

Phantom Blade Zero gives you new weapons, whether they're regular armaments or special Phantom Edges, at a fairly regular pace and most of them steadily improve upon ones you already have. It's therefore a good idea to be adjusting your build often, using the best weapons you have available to you and then choosing appropriate Accessories top round things out.

This also encourages you experiment with all the weapons you get to find what you like. It might be that you find a new favorite or really don't get on with a particular weapon, even if it has slightly better stats compared to what you were using before. In which case, there's no real harm in using what you know and upgrading it until you find something you definitely prefer.

8. Upgrade only the weapons you're currently using

Speaking of upgrades, Phantom Blade Zero has a slightly complicated but very convenient weapon upgrade system in that you can revert any weapon back to level 1 at any time, refunding all spent upgrade materials. And you should revert every weapon back to level 1 when you stop using it to ensure you're not wasting upgrade materials on useless gear. This means you can maximize the power of your current weapons, and you'll often be left with plenty of spare Remnant Dust that you can spend on Soul's Abilities or shop items instead.

9. Ensure your build is made to exploit boss weaknesses

If a boss keeps killing you, spending some time adjusting your build at a nearby bell before rushing back in, especially if they have obvious unique mechanics or weaknesses that can be exploited. For example, if a boss has a blue shield bar over their Sha-Chi bar, you should increase your shield-breaking power – I recommend wearing the Shieldbreaker Talisman and using the Dread Axe Phantom Edge. Similarly, fleshy enemies can also suffer bleed damage, so you might want to use the Jagged Steel sword to exploit that, but puppets and other foes will be immune to this effect.

Generally, you should be thoroughly reading about what each weapon does, as each one has its own special attacks and tricks, with more to unlock as they level up. Combining these appropriately is how you'll get the most damage out any weapon, so it pays to know how they work and the sorts of enemies they're best for.

10. The Wooden Sanguine sword is pretty good

It sounds absurd that a wooden sword could be so good in Phantom Blade Zero but with the best Guard Break power in the early-game, it's well worth using Wooden Sanguine, particularly against bosses. When a boss goes on the offensive, draw the wooden sword and parry as best as you can to deal high damage to their Sha-Chi bar for an easy stagger. At this point, switch to your other weapon and go nuts until the boss's Sha-Chi bar regenerates.

In general, I strongly recommend aiming to maximize your Guard-Breaking power and anything that reduces enemy Sha-Chi for boss fights, and this sword is another tool in your arsenal you can use to help with this. Once an enemy's guard is broken, you can unleash a high-damage Power Surge (L2 on PS5), assuming you have a Sha-Chi Essence to spend.

11. Get Boundless Capacity as soon as you can

It's the second Ability in the top row and costs 10,000 Remnant Dust. Unlocking it gives you a third accessory slot, which is well worth getting as early as possible as Accessories can provide some potent buffs for Soul. Having as many as possible is never a bad thing. There are even more Boundless Capacity upgrades to get across the Ability tree in Phantom Blade Zero too, maxing out at six accessory slots.

12. A stealth approach can be very efficient

The stealth system in Phantom Blade Zero isn't especially deep which means it's sometimes easy to forget it even exists like I did, but it's well worth exploiting to make combat encounters easier. Approach an enemy from behind without them moving to attack and you can perform a high-damage assassination which often results in an instant kill on weaker foes. Best of all, if there are multiple enemies close together, a quick-time event will pop up, letting you chain your assassination to thin the crowd. So, spending a little time sneaking can make fights much quicker and easier overall.

Finding a Phantom Blade Zero Flesh Lily is one of the first tasks you'll get in the game if you speak to Yu'er out in the Weeping Creek Valley. She says she needs one to make a medicine that can help her sick father but has had no luck – naturally, that's where you come in. The problem is that there is only one Flesh Lily in this region, you can't get it for at least another couple more hours of playing, and it requires you to defeat a boss first. If you're dead set on finding this Flesh Lily in Phantom Blade Zero to help Yu'er, here's where you need to look.

Phantom Blade Zero Flesh Lily location

You can find a Flesh Lily in the boss fight arena for Hua, Deadly Betrothed. This boss is found near the Valley Sha-Chi Tower, which is towards the end of the Weeping Creek Valley region – you'll reach the tower just by progressing the story, but Hua is not found on the main path.

To get to Hua, Deadly Betrothed, start at the Valley Sha-Chi Tower 1st Floor Bell and run to the opposite side of the tower, bearing right. You'll come across a large hole in the floor with a wooden slide. Ride the slide down and, once you've killed all the enemies at the bottom, take the path covered in red flowers and candles to your left.

To get the Flesh Lily you must defeat Hua first (unfortunately, you can't just grab the lily and dip) which is quite a tricky early-game boss fight. My advice is to avoid the red flowers as much as possible and use this as an opportunity to practise parrying and dodging, particularly to avoid her brutal grab attack.

Once Hua is defeated, grab the Twin Flesh Lilies blooming from the corpse in front of her dresser and then use the nearby Flesh Lily Fields Bell to fast travel back to the Outpost Bell. Speak to nearby Yu'er and hand over the Flesh Lilies. Since she needs only one, she'll insist you keep the other. There are no other rewards for helping Yu'er at this stage, but there's more to the Flesh Lily quest that comes much later in the game.

You should also look out for the Phantom Blade Zero cell key while exploring. Why not also read my Phantom Blade Zero tips to help you at this early stage of the game.

The Phantom Blade Zero Gentle Thief's questions will be practically unanswerable to you unless you paid close attention to a note penned by the Nimble Thief. Since the Gentle Thief can't read, it's your job to prove to him that you saw the Nimble Thief in his dying moments (if you have the note, it actually means you were the one who killed him) by correctly answering three questions about his life for the Honor Among Thieves quest. So, here's how you answer these questions three in Phantom Blade Zero.

All Phantom Blade Zero Gentle Thief questions and answers

All the answers to the Gentle Thief's questions in Phantom Blade Zero can be found in the 'Blood Letter from the Nimble Thief' page in the Wulin Tales book, which you should have as the Honor Among Thieves won't begin without you getting it by killing the Nimble Thief near the Outlaw Trap bell. But I've laid them all out here so that you don't have to go looking – and if you get any wrong, you can just try again by speaking to the Gentle Thief:

1. "What did he do at thirteen that he never stopped bragging about?": Stole a landowner's jade belt.
2. "The hairpin that doomed him for life. Do you know what its head looked like?": Butterfly.
3. "Do you know what became of that poor family's child?": The letter never said. His fate is unknown.

Get all three of these correct and the Gentle Thief will be satisfied that you are being honest and that the letter from the Nimble Thief is in fact real. In return, the Gentle Thief will give you the Silent Wrap Accessory, which reduces noise from footsteps and assassinations by 40%.

While stealth isn't all that important in this game, I did mention in my Phantom Blade Zero tips that stealth can be useful for efficiently bringing down groups of enemies, so this is ideal if you want to lean into that playstyle.

If you still need to clear up some quests in the Weeping Creek Valley, make sure you find the Phantom Blade Zero cell key and the Phantom Blade Zero Flesh Lily.

The Phantom Blade Zero cell key is the first key you can find in the game, letting you unlock a jail cell just outside the Weeping Creek Valley outpost. If you're being thorough in your exploration, you should find it reasonably easily but it's very easy to miss if you’re just focused on the main quest. And while the reward inside the cell isn't especially exciting, it's nevertheless useful and is worth backtracking for. So, here's how you get the cell key in Phantom Blade Zero.

Phantom Blade Zero Cell Key location

To get the cell key, head through the outpost, passing Forge and the Outpost Bell, until you go through a wooden doorway at the top of some steps and find a glowing red shrine.

From just before the shrine, follow the path to the right that goes uphill and you'll reach a wooden shack. Head inside the main room of the shack, then head right, climb through the window, and go up the stairs. You'll find the cell key on the ground next to a dead guy.

Now head back to the cell outside the outpost and interact with the door. Soul will automatically use the key, letting you grab a Blackstone Fragment within. Unfortunately, that's all there is to get and this fragment doesn't do anything on its own as you need a total of four fragments to create a full Blackstone. However, doing so permanently increases your Attack and Guard Break by 10%, so gathering these fragments is well worth it!

While you're in the Weeping Creek Valley, look out for the Phantom Blade Zero Flesh Lily quest too, and make sure you check out my Phantom Blade Zero tips!

When does the Fortnite Treasure Hunters mini-season start is a question we now know the answer to, as it will get underway on November 1, 2026. The tagline for the fresh season is "The greatest adventure of all time" and you can expect things to get switched up, with a new map to explore, fresh faces to meet, and no doubt some updated mechanics to get to grips with.

Epic aren't known for resting on their laurels and are always planning the next stage of development in Fortnite, so there will certainly be more changes brought in during the course of the upcoming season and beyond. If you're looking ahead to the Fortnite Treasure Hunters mini-season and are wondering what changes it may bring us, then here's everything we know about it so far.

What will be the biggest changes made for the Fortnite Treasure Hunters mini-season?

Although Epic haven't officially confirmed much more than the name and tagline for the Fortnite Treasure Hunters mini-season, they have also released a number of teasers which give us a good idea of what's to come. The season is going to be themed around anime pirates, with One Piece being confirmed as a significant part of that.

As rounded up by HYPEX, we've so far seen that One Piece characters Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Ace, and Buggy will all feature, alongside A$AP Rocky, Charlotte, Cuddle Team Leader, Hatsune Miku, Hope, Jonesy, Kasane Teto, Lil Uzi Vert, and Oscar as part of a stacked line up!

There are also going to be six distinct pirate crews in Treasure Hunters, featuring Jones & Hope, Straw Hat Crew (One Piece), A$AP Rocky, Lil Uzi Vert, Kasane Teto & Hatsune Miku, plus a 6th unknown crew – perhaps that one will be ours? It's likely you'll be battling against these crews to secure the loot, as was revealed during the teaser – "You won't be the only one drawn to these shores. Hope you're ready for reality's greatest treasure hunt."

We've also got an early look at the Fortnite Treasure Hunters mini-season map in the post above, showing a more compact island with plenty of POIs within close proximity to each other. There are also lots of bays for ships to dock in, which ties to the overall piracy and treasure hunting theme.

How much will the Fortnite Treasure Hunters Battle Pass cost?

Fortnite is free to play, but buying the Battle Pass will get you lots of additional rewards. The Fortnite Treasure Hunters Battle Pass will be available for 800 V-Bucks, which means it will still be enough to purchase the smallest V-Bucks bundle in the Fortnite store, priced at $8.99 / £6.99 to get 800 V-Bucks. By completing the Battle Pass you can earn 800 V-Bucks back through unlocks, but you can no longer collect additional V-Bucks above that.

Usually it's possible to get a head start by buying the Battle Bundle upgrade, which would get you to Tier 25 on the Battle Pass instantly – however with this being a short mini-season, the pass may be smaller so this could work differently. Doing so previously would cost you 2,600 V-Bucks, which you can get for $22.99 / £17.49. You can also sign up to the Fortnite Crew subscription service, which costs $11.99 / £9.99 per month but gives you access to all of the Fortnite Passes including the Battle Pass, as well as awarding a bonus 800 V-Bucks every month and other exclusive rewards.

If you don't want to spend any money, you can always try to get free Fortnite V-Bucks for the Fortnite Treasure Hunters Battle Pass, but don't fall for online scams! If you choose to save up some V-Bucks, remember that you only need 800 of them to unlock the next Fortnite Battle Pass starting in November 2026.

And that's everything we know about the Fortnite Treasure Hunters mini-season for now, but keep checking back and we'll have more details as soon as they're revealed!

Obtaining the MW4 Nuke killstreak is one of the game's more challenging goals, as it has been in series games before this one. It's a great way to show off your skills to both your team and opponents, and each year the hardiest of players fight to get the world's first nuke.

While that claim may have long gone for 2026's Modern Warfare 4, you can still work towards getting unlocking the nuke killstreak yourself, and the first step to that is knowing the conditions you actually have to meet. This killstreak cannot be unlocked by reaching any level and can never be equipped to your class. Instead, it can only ever be obtained by meeting certain match killstreak requirements, as you'll see below.

How to get the Nuke killstreak in MW4

To get the Nuke killstreak in MW4 2026, you need to get a 30 kills in a row without dying. You can die in the match, but your streak will start back at zero each time you do, and killstreak kills do not count, so you'll want to equip the best MW4 weapons you can.

This means that any kills you might get with the Wheelson, Heavy Artillery, or Gunship, for example, do not count towards your nuke - only those achieved with your primary or secondary weapon, melee weapon, or lethal throwables qualify. Get 30 of those in a row without dying though, and you'll get a notification on the middle of your screen that you can trigger the nuke.

To launch your Nuke, you might find you have to wait a few moments. Then press '4' on keyboard on right on your D-pad on any controller. You don't have to launch the Nuke right away, so you may as well see how many more kills you can get in first.

The nuke can be obtained in all multiplayer modes that allow for 30 or more kills in a row, so the likes of Search and Destroy aren't included.

If you can do this, then you're also well on your way to getting some of the best mastery camos in MW4 too, which is another great way to show off your skill.

The Phantom Blade Zero release time is imminent, with the game coming out on October 29 in most parts of the world with a global simultaneous release. But that means you need to be aware of when it'll be available in your region as, for example, you might be staying up very late if you want to play at launch in Europe or waiting to play this evening if you're in the US. It's quite confusing, so I've explained everything you need to know about the launch times for Phantom Blade Zero below, as well as some pre-loading details.

Phantom Blade Zero release date, time, and platforms

Phantom Blade Zero launches on PS5 and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store at 10AM Beijing Time on October 29. That works out as the following times around the world:

• US Pacific: 7PM PDT on October 28
• US Eastern: 10PM EDT on October 28
• UK: 2AM GMT on October 29
• Europe: 3AM CET on October 29
• Eastern Australia: 1PM AEDT on October 29
• New Zealand: 3PM NZDT on October 29

It's also worth mentioning that pre-loading for Phantom Blade Zero is available now on all platforms, letting you get the game ready on your PC or PS5 ahead of launch if you've pre-ordered. I highly recommend that you pre-install the game too as it's massive – the devs recommend 300GB of disk space on PC as Phantom Blade Zero is about 150GB. I've been playing on PS5 already and it's around the 130GB mark there, so get some space cleared in the meantime. And just in case you're holding out for a Phantom Blade Zero PS5 physical copy – a dying breed – developer S-Game announced there will be a physical release in 2027.

Weapon manuals in MW4 DMZ are some of the most important loot items you can find, as these are blueprints that effectively allow you to craft and buy new weapons from the gunsmith back in your base. Effectively, finding manuals for your guns means that you'll have an increasingly large pool of weapons to build and craft while at your base, but finding manuals isn't easy to do. If you want help, then here are the best Weapon Manual locations to farm.

Where to find Weapon Manuals in Modern Warfare 4 DMZ

While nowhere in MW4 DMZ is guaranteed to have a Weapon Manual (you're playing against the odds in a constant game of randomization) there are certain locations and containers that have a higher chance of dropping weapon manuals. For the best chance, you should examine the following when in DMZ:

• Military Containers. These include military style crates and lockers, basically anything associated with the army. As you might expect, you can find these more frequently in compound and military areas.
• Safes. These appear in all kinds of areas, though infrequently. Unlike other types of containers, they take longer to open, as your Operator has to hack them. Check the image above for an example of what safes in MW4 look like.
• Weapons lockers and armories. These rooms reliably require keys to open and are found all around the map. Keys are found randomly or as mission rewards. Read their description to find the locked room they open.
• Police Stations. Many have reported having good luck finding manuals in the MW4 DMZ Police Stations, of which there are 5 around the map. Check out our guide on where those are.
• Red and Yellow Zones. Though higher danger, these map areas also tend to have better loot as a result, especially if you can brave the nuclear reactor in the Northeast of the map.

Keep in mind that weapon manuals can be found anywhere, you just have a better chance of finding them in the locations marked above. I discovered one inside a discarded jacket on the train that circles the map!

Once you have a manual, you need to safely extract with it in your inventory. Once you're back in your base, it will automatically be converted to a weapon recipe (it only works for the player that's holding it, not everybody in your squad).

Once converted, you'll be able to buy that weapon from the Gunsmith permanently, though it will cost you money nonetheless, with that cost increasing depending on how many attachments and additional elements you choose to craft it with.

If you're on a crafting kick, make sure you know where to find the MW4 DMZ comms modules and MW4 DMZ power regulators!

The comms module in MW4 DMZ is a piece of epic loot that’s given players a headache, as it’s hard to find randomly during missions and is required to unlock the ‘Uncommon Ingredient Printing’ upgrade. The good news is that several locations can provide the epic drops that you’re looking for, and they’re not particularly well-guarded ones.

Best comms module location in DMZ

Comms modules are found inside computers (regular ones) typically located on the top floor of buildings occupied by NK forces, who have turned them into improvised bases of sorts.

Deadtown is your safest bet, as it’s a low-danger area that’s easy to navigate and clear even if you’re going solo. It must be noted you’re looking for the taller buildings closer to the river, and not the more “regular town” zone near them. I’ve marked the location in the screenshot above. But here’s the type of building that we need to get into:

Once inside these buildings – which are hard to miss due to the massive power cables on the outside and inside – make your way to the top floors and look for computers to loot. As you can see in the screenshot below, the epic-rarity comms module isn’t guaranteed, but there are more than enough PCs to loot in the area.

How to craft comms modules in DMZ

You can also craft comms modules in DMZ after unlocking the ‘Epic Ingredient Printing’ upgrade, which requires 100K in cash, 10 binding catalysts, 10 printed circuit boards, and 5 military composites. This isn’t easy early on, but it’s the best farming option when you level up and have bigger fish to fry.

After doing so, the comms module can be crafted repeatedly with the 3D printer for 100 electronics and 3 CPUs (also found in computers).

The Welcome to Paradise quest in Cyberpunk 2077 has players follow a guided tour around the city in order to track down a revolutionary called Haze, all at the request of her concerned sister Aera. This takes you through a variety of locations with a recording of Night City founder Richard Night explaining a skewed history of the metropolis, and Haze providing her own contrary take against him. If you want to find out how to start the quest and what rewards there might be, here's what you need to know.

Want some more help with the 2.5 update? Find out how to dual wield in Cyberpunk 2077, or all the best Cyberpunk 2077 mods you can now get on console!

How to start the Welcome to Paradise quest in Cyberpunk 2077

To get the Welcome to Paradise quest, all you need to do is complete the Heist mission and reach 15 Street Cred. On having done this, after some time you'll get a message from a new character called Aera who will ask you to find her sister Haze, who's stolen some sort of chip from somebody and hasn't been seen since. If you accept this minor job, you'll be able to play it through whenever you're ready.

Full walkthrough for Welcome to Paradise in Cyberpunk 2077

Much of the Welcome to Paradise quest is very straightforward - going to marked locations and interacting with terminals - but there's a few points where it can get tricky. We'll take you through the whole thing below and mark out the areas that involve more challenge, so you're ready for everything.

1. After getting the call, head to the marked location in Kabuki. Scan for the metal sheet to the East that covers the sewer pipe (shown above) and pull it away to reveal a Shard called "NC Revitalization Project - Identity Cache". Slot it to start the guided tour program.
2. Head to the Night Corporation Tower and listen to the first step of the guided tour, including the drone tour, then do the same thing at the Memorial Park, Arasaka Memorial, and City Hall.

3. The next tour step is the Biotechnica Flats, though some people will be obstructing the way to the terminal (you can move them non-violently with a 17 Body Dialogue Check).
4. Head to the NCART station for another tour. Afterwards, go into your inventory and decrypt the shard for new information (see below).

5. The next stop at the Dam is blocked off by 6th Street Enemies who you'll need to clear out (they're easy to ambush from above if you fast travel to the nearest location).
6. Head to the Medical Center back in the city. This time Haze will tell you that she's being trailed by a car. Open the Shard you decrypted in stage 4 again to find out more about the car and figure out who's following her.

7. Head to Kabuki for the final leg of the tour and the last of Richard Night. Haze will drop a clue that mentions a bridge nearby.
8. Head to the marked location, and look at the beach below you and to the right to see several Militech soldiers (see below).
9. Defeat the soldiers and you'll discover Haze's body, along with a Shard containing evidence of her killer. At this point you need to meet with Aera again to conclude the quest and tell her what you've discovered.

Should you give Aera the Shard?

There's no difference in reward depending on whether you give Aera the Shard or not, as you'll get 1,050 EDs, and the same XP and Street Cred bonuses either way. All it changes is your final interaction with her:

• If you give Aera the Shard: She's grateful for your help, but obviously angered at Haze's death and clearly plotting some sort of revenge, or at least to carry on her sister's crusade in some way.
• If you don't give Aera the Shard: She's angry at you for not giving her the ammunition she needs to hurt Haze's murderers, but the implication is that it keeps her safer not to have such explosive information on her.

There doesn't appear to be any follow-up to this quest later on, such as a moment where we discover that Aera successfully struck a blow against Night Corp or was killed in her quest for vengeance.

The power regulator in DMZ is a tricky thing to find. As an epic ingredient, its rarity is relatively high, and you aren’t even guaranteed drops in the correct locations, but below I'll show you where I've had more luck finding it than anywhere else. And, if you want to make advanced gear and equipment like night vision googles and railgun sentries, you're going to need to find a few.

Best power regulator location in DMZ

Though it’s been reported power regulators can also spawn in other heavily guarded spots of the DMZ map, your best bet is to go into the Haneul Nuclear Reactor, as marked above.

This is a high-risk/level zone full of armoured NPC enemies on top of the expected high levels of radiation, so it’s highly encouraged that you gear up accordingly and bring hazmat suits, gas masks, and radiation blockers to make the incursion easier.

That said, you can also rush into the ruined buildings and reactors to look for red containers (though power regulators can also spawn in other ones) and get out before the radiation becomes too much to endure. Again, the power regulator is a randomised piece of epic loot, so there are no guaranteed drops or specific containers, but I can tell you this is the best power regulator farming location I’ve found so far.

How to craft power regulators in DMZ

Alternatively, there’s a way to make power regulators without leaving the safety of the base of operations. DMZ players “only” need to grind towards the ‘Epic Ingredient Printing’ upgrade, which requires 100K in cash, 10 binding catalysts, 10 printed circuit boards, and 5 military composites. This may take a good while, so it’s not a simple early-game objective, but we’d say it’s worth investing in to make late-game grinds a bit softer.

After doing so, the power regulator can be crafted repeatedly with the 3D printer for 100 electronics and 3 printed circuit boards.

Radio towers in MW4 DMZ are found all over the map, and one of the earliest missions tasks you with placing transmitters on top of two different radio towers. This is part of the ‘Underground’ chapter, which eventually asks you to complete the ‘Triangulation’ order in Call of Duty. It’s an easy one, but here’s what you should look for.

Radio tower locations in DMZ

There are several radio towers in the MW4 DMZ map, and they’re typically unguarded (unless you run into random patrols), so it’s just a matter of spotting the nearest ones so you don’t have to trek across the map to complete the ‘Triangulation’ order.

The map above has three different ones marked in a part of the map that’s not, at least based on my experience, very dangerous. You’re free to look for other ones, but these three are close to each other and easy to reach regardless of your starting location. You can see them from afar, and they’re hard to miss.

How to place transmitters on radio towers in DMZ

The game doesn’t explain how to actually use the transmitters on the towers very well, but it’s a simple process. First, just approach a radio tower of your choice and climb up. Make sure to face the correct side of the ladder.

Keep climbing until you can’t go any higher. At this point, face one of the metal poles that define the structure of the tower at the top. A prompt will allow you to place a transmitter, and a “transmitter” item isn’t required. Repeat this on a different tower to place the second transmitter.

After placing two transmitters on two different towers, you’ll need to head over to the top of La Grand Vie in Songdo Wharf (use the map), a named location to the east of Hajin, and do this one more time.

Pinkie Promise codes can award you with free revives to give you an extra chance if you get caught by the deadly Pinkie Pie in this My Little Pony fan game. While you're trying to help the usually adorable pony plan a party, she'll trigger a deadly game of hide and seek, and these codes come in useful if you find it hard to stay hidden.

While I never thought I'd see My Little Pony and horror combined, it certainly seems to work in this Roblox mascot adventure as Pinkie Pie gets a little too obsessed with planning her latest party. Help her out and don't break your pinky promise by sneaking into her room... or else.

If you're looking for rewards with a wider use across all of your experiences, then we've got all of the details on the current Roblox promo codes.

All Pinkie Promise codes

The Pinkie Promise codes you can redeem right now are:

• PINKIEPROMISE - 1x Revive

There is currently only one Pinkie Promise code available, offering up one free revive, which usually costs Robux. Hopefully more codes will be released with the launch of Chapter 2, and I'll keep an eye on the situation.

How to redeem Pinkie Promise codes

To redeem Pinkie Promise codes, you must first access the Shop from the main menu. You can't access the codes menu from within a game. From the Shop, either scroll to the bottom or select the Codes tab which will take you straight there. Here, you'll find the Enter Code box where you can copy a code from the list above. Click Redeem to claim your rewards.

It's worth keeping in mind that Pinkie Promise codes are not case-sensitive, so you only have to ensure you get the spelling correct.

Expired Pinkie Promise codes

• There are currently no expired codes.

Since we're only on the first Chapter of Pinkie Promise, there are no expired yet, but that will likely change in the future, and I'll add any invalid codes to this list so you don't waste your time trying to redeem them.

Ariadne in Cyberpunk 2077 will call you out of nowhere with the offer to become a brand ambassador for some clothing she's sent you, but it's not clear exactly what she wants and what she's hoping to get from out, nor how to progress with this secret quest. In fact, what you need to do is incredibly easy, and if you can do it, you'll get some money and some Witcher themed gear to wear around Cyberpunk 2077 as a reward!

Want some more help with the 2.5 update? Find out how to dual wield in Cyberpunk 2077, or all the best Cyberpunk 2077 mods you can now get on console!

What to do for Ariadne in Cyberpunk 2077

After Ariadne messages you in Cyberpunk 2077 to become a brand ambassador, all you need to do to complete her request is the following:

1. Head back to V's original apartment in Megabuilding H10.
2. By the front door, as you go in, you should see a new crate on the left (see above).
3. Inside are three pieces of clothing and two weapons. Equip all three pieces of clothing, including the sunglasses!
4. Once all the clothing is equipped, open your message chain with Ariadne again, and there should now be an option to "Take Picture".
5. This will open photo mode, though you don't actually have to take a picture, it will act like you did.
6. Ariadne will thank you for the picture.
7. Later on, Ariadne will contact you again telling you that your sponsorship deal is over. However, she will also send you 4300 EDs, and tell you that you can keep the clothes.

This marks the end of this unlabelled quest, but what's more important is that the clothing and weapons inside the chest are all easter eggs and references to The Witcher series, the other major gaming franchise by CD Projekt Red.

The full list of items Ariadne gives you is as follows:

• Ursine Jacket (Outer Torso): This coat shares some aesthetic similarities to the Ursine armor from the Witcher series, which was associated with the School of the Bear.
• Ursine Pants (Legs): Same as above.
• The Professor's Spectacles (Face): In The Witcher 3 DLC "Hearts of Stone", Geralt could acquire an identical set of sunglasses with the same name, which themselves were an easter egg referencing the movie "Leon The Professional".
• Sihil (Sword): A blade that does extra damage to drones, mechs and robots, as well as enemies affected by quickhacks. This is a fantasy-style sword that references a blade with an identical name in the Witcher novels.
• Boar Carver (Knife): A fantasy-style dagger. In The Witcher games, Geralt uses a similar blade to carve trophies from his kills.

The MW4 DMZ Police Stations are spread across the map, but if you can find their locations you can complete the Orders connected to them, as well as simply loot them for high value items. Police Stations have quickly become an easy point of reference in Modern Warfare 4 to get good loot, especially related to weapons and guns. If you want to know how to find them and loot them effectively, here's where to look, as well as how to get into the Police Armories.

For more help with the latest Call of Duty, check out all the MW4 DMZ best traits for your operators, or find out all the best weapons and guns in Modern Warfare 4!

Where to find all DMZ Police Stations in MW4

There are five Police Stations across the MW4 DMZ map, all shown above. They're easy enough to find, as they aren't hidden, and they are marked on the map by default with a sheriff Star symbol.

There's no major difference between the layout or contents of each of the DMZ police stations, though keep in mind that if you have an Armory key (see below) it will be specific to one station or another, described by its relation to major landmarks (such as "North of Wolves Stadium").

How to loot Police Stations and open the Armory

Police Stations are several floors (including a basement) with various randomized containers, similar to other buildings. However, what's of note is that there's an armory/evidence room in the basement of each building that holds high-level loot and requires a key to open. This room should be down the stairs on the right when you enter through the main doors.

Some have reported finding Armory keys within the Police Stations themselves (I have checked and have yet to be so lucky), but you can find them around the DMZ as random rare rewards, or through mission completion.

Clean Crew codes might not always provide any competitive advantage when it comes to upping your cleaning skills, but they can add a bit of color to your work day - literally. Whether it's stickers, colors to repaint your skin, or even lobby music, the cosmetic items offered for free thanks to these codes add some cheer to an otherwise dirty job.

Sometimes, you might even be lucky enough to get a handful of Mula from these promo codes. Though we haven't seen any in while, Clean Crew codes historically have granted a boost to your bank balance, so get cleaning and earn as many as you can in the Roblox simulation in the meantime.

If you're after some more general avatar rewards to use in all of your experiences, then we've got the current Roblox promo codes covered too.

All Clean Crew codes

These are the Clean Crew codes you can redeem right now:

• CrewAllOver - 'Crew All Over' color
• 4702 - 'The Grimp' sticker
• BUGFIX - 'Crazy Bug' sticker
• ECLIPSE - 'Baby Red' sticker
• BUDDYBOOGIE- Buddy Boogie special menu theme music

Clean Crew codes have more recently been leaning towards cosmetic rewards rather than currencies, but there's still no harm in collecting these exclusive items while you have the chance.

How to redeem Clean Crew codes

To redeem Clean Crew codes, simply select the Codes option from the main menu, which is located in the bottom left-hand corner. This open up the codes redemption screen, where you can enter a code into the Type Here box and click Redeem to claim your rewards.

Expired Clean Crew codes

• 10MIL- 25x Mula
• 20MILVISITS- 25x Mula

Previous Clean Crew codes have been for Mula, the in-game currency, which is a bit more valuable than those we've seen more recently. With any luck, this will return, but in the meantime, you should still redeem valid codes as soon as you see them to avoid missing out.

The Genshin Impact livestream 7.2 codes are the latest promos to drop in the long-running action RPG, providing plenty of Primogems to spend alongside a decent supply of Mystic Enhancement Ore, Hero’s Wit, and Mora. While the most recent special program gave us an insight into the new content arriving with version 7.2, it's the codes revealed during this regular developer presentation that are of most interest here. As always, they will expire in the near future, so here are the Genshin Impact livestream 7.2 codes and how to redeem them.

Genshin Impact livestream 7.2 codes

• HourofRuin - 100x Primogems, 10x Mystic Enhancement Ore
• ExpertMitya - 100x Primogems, 5x Hero's Wit
• PhotoTime - 100x Primogems, 50,000x Mora

The above promos were announced during the latest special program broadcast, and will be active until Sunday, October 25 at 9PM PDT, which is Monday, October 26 at 12AM EDT / 4AM GMT – so make sure that you redeem them as soon as you can to bank all of the rewards on offer.

How to redeem Genshin Impact livestream codes

In some versions of the game you can redeem Genshin Impact codes directly, by opening up the Account menu under Settings and then selecting the Redeem now prompt before entering the code.

You can also redeem Genshin Impact codes by visiting the gift redemption page on the game's official website. Once you're there, log in with your HoYoverse account and make sure the correct regional Server and Character Nickname are selected – these should be completed automatically once you've logged in. All you need to do then is type or copy/paste a promo into the Redemption Code box, before hitting Redeem to claim your rewards.

Either way, the rewards will be sent to you via the in-game mailbox, so head there next to pick them up. You don't have to do that immediately, but in-game mails usually have an expiry date of one month after sending, so don't leave it too long!

The best traits in MW4 DMZ mode are all about making sure that your operator has the best skill possible. As you play you'll level up and earn new trait points, capping out at 18, which isn't nearly enough to fill all three skill trees. With that in mind, you need to be certain that you're picking the best traits possible and ensuring that you're ready for a variety of circumstances. With that in mind, I'll lay out the optimum build for traits in Modern Warfare 4 below, so you know exactly what to choose when the time comes.

What are the best traits in DMZ for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4?

Here are the best traits in each skill tree in MW4 DMZ mode. If you're building up in each tree, make sure that you pick the traits mentioned below when given the option to do so.

• Warfighter
  • Equipment Professional: Slowly recharges equipped lethals and tacticals after use. Refills up to the max capacity of the slot.
  • Adrenaline Burst: Killing an enemy resets tactical sprint.
  • Possum: Allows a Self Revive into Last Stand from death, restoring health to maximum, once per match.
• Scout
  • Investor: Slightly increases cash amount extracted.
  • Auto Fill: Lethals and tacticals automatically replenish from Backpack.
  • UAV Upgrade: Increases the range and duration of UAVs. Also upgrades them to Advanced UAVs.
• Survivalist
  • Quick Knife: Replaces weapon bash melee attacks with knife attacks.
  • Metabolism: Slowly regenerate health lost via tourniquet.
  • Die Hard: Approaching an exfil while in Last Stand calls the exfil automatically. Also grants infinite bleed out time while in Last Stand.

These traits are largely based around universality and broad applicability in combat, as well as emphasizing those skills that are better in PvP than PvE (which tends to be tougher as a rule). I've also de-emphasized traits that increase reward yields and item stacking – not that there's anything wrong with those, but I think it's more important to survive missions than to risk your life on some small reward bonuses. After all, it doesn't matter if you have more loot than normal if you never make it home safely!

Operator Traits in Modern Warfare 4 DMZ explained

Traits in MW4 DMZ are skills that are unlocked when your Operator levels up. You'll get a trait point that can be invested in any of the three skill trees, granting that specific operator and character that skill, but only them! These don't apply to any other operators that you have unlocked.

Traits are picked from one of two or three options each time, and these choices are exclusive. For example, early in the Warfighter tree, you'll be able to pick between "Plate Pouch", "Bounty Hunter" and "Resupply". Whichever one you pick, it'll lock that Operator out of ever getting the other two, so pick carefully!

Operators can earn a total of 18 Traits before they max out, which is enough to completely work through two of the skill trees to the end. That restriction means that you have to think carefully about what you want to get, as you won't be able to get all of them.

If that operator is lost on a mission, you'll lose all progress you made with them. However, you can pay cash to rescue them. The amount of money it costs scales to their level – the more Traits they have, the more expensive it will be to bring them back.

The main mission added in Cyberpunk 2077 2.5 update is called Clampdown, designed to tie into the second season of Edgerunners. It's available to play for free for anybody who's downloaded the 2.5 patch for Cyberpunk 2077, but you'll need to walk through a few hoops to unlock it. If you want to play Clampdown, here's how to do just that and what you need to get given this quest.

How to play the new Clampdown mission in Cyberpunk 2077

To unlock the Edgerunners Clampdown mission and get to play it in Cyberpunk's 2.5 patch, you need to complete the following milestones within the game:

1. Complete "The Heist" story mission, as well as the following quests: "Love Like Fire" and "Playing for Time". This will give you full access to the open world of Cyberpunk 2077.
2. Complete any two gigs for the fixer Wakako Okada (found in Westbrook's Japantown).

At this point you should (eventually) get a message from Wakako called "A Request from King". Have a quick text conversation with her, and you'll be given the Clampdown quest and be free to pursue it when ready. Pursuing the mission to its end will grant you various rewards related to Edgerunners Season 2, including both new outfits and weaponry themed around the characters in that show.

Enjoying a return to Night City? For more info on the 2.5 update, make sure you check out how to dual wield in Cyberpunk 2077, how to complete the new Cyberpunk 2077 Welcome to Paradise quest that sends you around town, or how to get Witcher themed gear from Ariadne in Cyberpunk 2077!

Many Doors codes reward players with Knobs, the essential in-game currency that can be used during games to unlock life-saving items like lockpicks and vitamins. As you make your way through the daunting, eerie corridors of this deadly walking simulator, you'll need lockpicks, a flashlight, and other survival items, or you might not even make it past door 13.

Yes, you'll earn Knobs by making your way through as many doors as possible each time you take on this Roblox survival challenge, but buying items in the pre-game store can help you get further. That's why you should redeem the Doors codes below before your next run and spend them on some handy items, thus earning you even more Knobs in return.

How to redeem Doors codes

The easiest way to redeem Doors codes on Roblox is to click on the codes button from the bottom menu bar, which is indicated by three asterisks. You can also click on any of the menu buttons and scroll all the way to the end. Once on the codes screen, enter a code into the Enter Code Here box, then hit enter on your keyboard, A on Xbox, X on PlayStation, or touch the screen on mobile to claim your reward.

Doors codes aren't case-sensitive, so you only need to worry about getting the spelling right, but this in many cases includes spaces, so you should also make sure there are no stray spaces at the end of your code as this will prevent it from working.

Dual-wielding in Cyberpunk 2077 is now possible with the 2.5 update with a skill that allows V to shoot two guns at the same time, akimbo/gunslinger style. It's a hell of an update that allows pistol users not to sacrifice damage output, but it's not something you'll be able to do off-the-bat without a bit of perk investment. If you want to dual-wield guns, I'll explain how to do that in Cyberpunk 2077 below.

How to dual wield in Cyberpunk 2077

To dual-wield guns in Cyberpunk 2077, players need to get the "Double Trouble" perk from the "Cool" Skill Tree, which unlocks when your Cool reaches level 9.

Once you've invested a Perk Point into Double Trouble, you'll be able to equip two pistols, but they both have to be Power Pistols or Power Revolvers. You can't dual-wield smart pistols, tech pistols, SMGs, shotguns, or anything else.

Once equipped, players can fire both guns simultaneously, though the weapons each have a 37.5% reduction in damage. If you invest two points into Double Trouble, you can unlock a special move called Heywood Hurricane, in which you rapidly fire both guns for one second and quickly refill ammo spent on successful shots.

There are also four perks tied to Double Trouble that further enhance it, which each improving Dual Wielding in some way - either reducing stamina costs, increasing accuracy, or buffing the Heywood Hurricane move.

If you're interested in guns, make sure you check out all the Cyberpunk 2077 best weapons! Or if you're getting back into the game with the 2.5 update, make sure you refresh your knowledge of all the most important Cyberpunk 2077 tips.

In the early phases of Modern Warfare 4 DMZ you'll be told to collect a Dynamic Op Phone as part of the Payment Due orders, as well as earning $11,500 in cash from completing Dynamic Ops. Unfortunately, MW4 isn't particularly good at explaining what that means and what a Dynamic Op Phone is, but fortunately, I've found out the answer and can explain it to you below, as well as how to make the money you need.

How to collect a Dynamic Op Phone in Modern Warfare 4 DMZ mode

To collect a Dynamic Op phone in MW4 DMZ, you need to look on the map for the green radio-shaped icons, such as the one shown above. The actual symbol on each one will vary, but all of them count.

Follow the icon to its source to find a small radio/phone, which is the Dynamic Op phone. Interacting with it will trigger a small optional side mission that varies depending on the phone you've interacted with. You might have to hunt another player, kill an NPC target, or plant explosives somewhere. Either way, there'll be an icon to lead you to where you need to be.

To make the money, simply complete the quest. The amount of money earned will vary depending on the mission itself, but this goal to make $11,500 is one that will be done over multiple excursions and extractions, building up your earnings over time. Simply be patient.

Roblox The Hollow is a new event taking place in the nine days leading up to Halloween, giving players a chance to unlock some special spooky rewards while running from Roblox's most beloved horror characters.

Horror games are becoming more and more popular both in the wider gaming world and within Roblox, with newer games like 99 Nights in the Forest and Animal Hospital challenging long-standing icons like Piggy in popularity. So, what better time than Halloween to celebrate the booming genre? Here's everything you need to know about The Hollow and the games taking part.

Roblox The Hollow event details

Roblox The Hollow is an ongoing maze event taking place within Roblox as its own experience. When you enter the theater-inspired maze, you'll have to avoid terrifying enemies as you hunt for clues and collect rewards. Each day, the maze gains a new deadly foe who'll stalk you through the game's corridors, each of which are taken straight from Roblox's most beloved horror experiences.

These are the main characters that are appearing in The Hollow:

• Day 1: Seek from DOORS
• Day 2: Twisted Dandy from Dandy’s World
• Day 3: Biter from Demonology
• Day 4: The Deer from 99 Nights in the Forest
• Day 5: Hiachi from The Mimic
• Day 6: Mimic from Animal Hospital
• Day 7: The Inspector from Scary Shawarma Kiosk
• Day 8: The Overseer from Warden
• Day 9: Piggy from Piggy

The challenges are short, but you'll have to start again if you're caught by one of the monsters trailing you. Once you enter the maze, you'll have to find a puzzle room, complete the puzzle within, and retrieve a relic before making it back to the lobby in one piece. By doing so, you'll earn that day's reward, but don't worry if you can't play every day, as each day also has its own dedicated 'floor' in the theater, so you can complete them all whenever you have time (as long as it's before November 2).

All Roblox The Hollow items and rewards

Each day, you'll have the chance to earn a new badge and associated item, provided you complete that day's challenge within the maze. The Badges and items for each day are:

You can also buy these rewards using Tickets earned from participating in other games during the event, in case you don't want to participate in The Hollow itself. There are loads of games included in this list, even some family friendly options like Duck Duck and Fisch.

To earn tickets, you must complete specific quests in these games. Completing each one rewards players with 20 Tickets and an exclusive Badge. The games included in The Hollow event and their respective challenges are as follows:

• Grow a Garden
• Fisch
• +1 Speed Keyboard Escape
• Creatures of Sonaria
• Steal An Egg
• Royale High
• Murderers Vs Sheriffs
• Racket Rivals
• Murder Duels
• Clean All The Leaves
• Hunted
• Carve Wood!
• BasketBall Legends
• Sleep Paralysis
• Search For The Needle
• Prism Runway Show
• Moo Moo Mystery
• Guts and Blackpowder
• Duck Duck
• Welcome to Bloxburg
• Toons Universe
• Tower Defense Simulator
• Survive Overnight in a Mega Store
• Clean Crew
• Sell Lemons
• Paranormal

If you've already completed some of the quests above, for example defeating the Pumpkin Boss in Search for the Needle, you don't have to do it again. Simply teleport to Search for the Needle from within The Hollow, then return to The Hollow, and you'll be able to claim your tickets.

Some bonus items are also available for players with Roblox Plus: Quack-o'-lantern, Trick or Treat Tentacles, and The Spectral Skull of Nevermoor. The Quack-o'-lantern is already available and the other two will follow on days 3 and 6, respectively.

You should also make sure you've picked up the latest Roblox Promo codes for avatar items that you can use across experiences - although there are plenty of spooky customization items available during The Hollow, too.

Adventure Time RPG codes reward players with coins to spend in-game at Choose Goose's rotating market. Of course there are plenty of items in this RPG that require Robux to obtain, but the ever-changing market stall in the lobby has a wealth of valuable items up for sale, from skins and weapons to healing items and character essence, all available in exchange for coins.

While coins are predominantly earned by playing the Adventure Time-inspired Roblox RPG, it can never hurt to get a free bump in your earnings, so make sure you redeem the latest Adventure Time RPG codes so you don't miss out when something you really want pops up in the shop.

If you're after some more general avatar rewards to use in all of your experiences, then we've got the current Roblox promo codes covered too.

All Adventure Time RPG codes

These are the Adventure Time RPG codes you can redeem right now:

• COINS50 - 50x Coins

There has only been one Adventure Time RPG code so far since the game is pretty new, but it gives a nice boost of 50 coins to your balance, which is a decent chunk of many of the items available in Choose Goose's shop.

How to redeem Adventure Time RPG codes

To redeem Adventure Time RPG codes, you need to head to the Redeem Reward Code area in the lobby, which can be found in front of the training dummies. Walk into the zone to trigger the codes redemption box, enter a code from above into the box, and click Submit.

Adventure Time RPG codes are case-sensitive, so be sure to enter them exactly as they appear above. There is no 'invalid', 'expired', or 'already redeemed' message when redeeming codes in this game, you'll only know a code is successful when the reward appears on the screen, otherwise nothing will happen.

Expired Adventure Time RPG codes

• There are no expired Adventure Time RPG codes.

Adventure Time RPG hasn't been around long yet, so there are currently no expired promos. As soon as the codes at the top of the page run out, we'll move them down here to avoid any disappointment.

Disney Lorcana: Hyperia City launches on October 23, and with booster bundles, prerelease boxes, and an Illumineer's Trove up for grabs, the latest set is already starting to drift onto the shelves. It's worth checking MSRPs if you're wondering where to buy Disney Lorcana: Hyperia City before the big day.

Pre-order stock remains pricey at Amazon this week (how much for a pre-release?), but preliminary listings are also going live across GameStop and Target. The full wash of Disney Lorcana: Hyperia City stock should pick up once we're into release day.

With Miguel Rivera leading the pack, Hyperia City introduces Coco to Disney Lorcana for the first time, alongside new song cards from the movie and mechanics that take advantage of "remembering past glimmers" that have made their way to your discard pile. Whether you're here for the Riveras or the new inkdrop mechanic, we're showing you where to buy Disney Lorcana: Hyperia City right here.

Where to buy Disney Lorcana: Hyperia City in the US

Ahead of release, only one store is offering Disney Lorcana: Hyperia City pre-orders this week - though I’d hold off until launch day. Amazon has the new set on the shelves, though with “high prices” cited on both the Booster Display and Illumineer’s Trove, I’d keep an eye on Target, GameStop, and Ravensburger’s own site for a better deal. Still, you’ll find the new two-player starter set up for a solid $29.99.

Where to buy Disney Lorcana: Hyperia City in the UK

Game has Disney Lorcana: Hyperia City stock on the shelves and ready to pre-order right now, but supplies are running low across the rest of the web. Keep a close eye here, as well as Amazon and Smyths Toys on release day.

New to the game? Here's where to start with Disney Lorcana, or check out where to buy Pokemon: Delta Reign for other collections.

Is DMZ free to play? The return of the multiplayer mode in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 has been drawing a lot of attention, as part of the current trend of Extraction shooter gameplay, with many looking forward to this particular return to extraction combat. Call of Duty has also previously released certain modes for free, separately from the larger games that they're released with (such as Warzone) so there was always a chance that DMZ was going to be free to download and play. But is it?

Can you play Modern Warfare 4 DMZ for free?

No, you cannot play MW4 DMZ mode for free, you have to buy the full game of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4, in which the multiplayer DMZ mode is part of the larger package.

The only thing that is marginally comparable is that players can download the individual files for DMZ mode without having to download the whole of MW4, but you still do have to buy it, sorry to say.

There's also been no indication from the development team or publishers that they plan to make DMZ free to play in the future, so don't get your hopes up thinking you can just wait out the clock until it's given to you. I'm not saying it can't happen, but right now there's no evidence to suggest it will, especially with the MW4 being largely well-received by critics and audiences so far.

The Casino Counting Room Vault in the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 DMZ is something that players are told about after completing the Silent Ledger story mission, which rewards them with a Counting Room Vault Key that they can use… Only it's not clear exactly where to look to find it. Fortunately I've found the Casino Counting Room, and can show you exactly where you need to look to use this key and get the rewards.

Counting Room Vault location in Modern Warfare 4 DMZ

The Counting Room Vault is found on the ground floor of the Heavenly Luck Casino, the building where the "Silent Ledger" mission takes place. It's marked on the map above, but to find it yourself, do the following:

1. Enter the Casino by the main doors at the front.
2. Take an immediate right turn into the corridor with the cages inside.
3. Take the door going left before you enter the main slots area to enter a computer-filled security room.
4. At the end of this room is the Counting Room Vault (shown below), which will require the key to open (there is no other known method at time of writing).

The inside room will be full of loot, but be careful: with this being an area tied to one of the earliest missions in the game, and a well-known vault location, you're highly likely to have other players swarming the area, either to secure the same vault, to pick off those who are going for it, or simply doing the Silent Ledger mission itself.

Lanterns codes can help you boost your character, unlock more Constructs, and collect bonus Lantern Coins in this superhero-inspired adventure. Whichever ring you choose to bond with, your task is to protect the world from threat, and you can only do that by increasing your loadout, power, and stats.

The great thing about Lanterns is that you can play as part of any of the Lantern Corps included in the Roblox experience, keeping your progress with all of them, switching freely whenever you wish. Since they level up separately, though, XP and items are specific to the ring you currently have activated, so keep this in mind when redeeming the Lanterns codes below, as the rewards will apply only to your current loadout.

As you can see from the list above, most Lanterns codes grant XP, meaning you can level up your character quickly. As I've mentioned above, you can use these codes and this XP boost on any Lantern Corps you want, so if you've already considerably levelled up your favorite ring, you can always choose to try out a new one.

How to redeem Lanterns codes

To redeem Lanterns codes, click on the Settings button in the top right-hand corner of the screen. Then, scroll to the bottom of the setting screen to find the codes redemption box, where you can enter any of the codes above, click Redeem, and claim your free rewards.

Expired Lanterns codes

• There are no expired codes.

All previously released Lanterns codes are still valid at this time, but there will likely come a time when they expire, so redeem them while you can. If and when they do expire, I'll move them down here so you don't waste your time.
