    Cyberpunk Edgerunners II Reveals Release Date and First Visual

    Digital Phablet – Studio Trigger has officially introduced the full lineup of characters for Cyberpunk Edgerunners II after four consecutive days of revealing details about each character. Additionally, one of the most highly anticipated anime of the year is scheduled to debut on Netflix in fall 2026.

    Netflix shared on social media, accompanied by the new visual, “New crew. Same chaos. Cyberpunk Edgerunners 2, arriving this fall exclusively on Netflix.”

    According to Crunchyroll Studio, Trigger and Netflix have unveiled four main characters so far:

    Weak Kingsley: An experienced Edgerunner who was once renowned as “King” for his dominance in the game. Now, he operates in the shadows, far removed from his former glory.

    Next, we have D: A Snack Nation Netrunner dedicated to tracking down the killer of his wiped-out clan. He is celebrated for his advanced technical skills and relentless desire for revenge.

    Center stage is Media, a “young cinephile seeking authentic stories in a city that has forsaken cinema for braindances. Obsessed with uncovering truths and observing the lives of others.”

    Lastly, Talia Yang comes from the corporate towers but finds her true passion in chrome and violence.

    The creators confirmed that Edgerunners II will stand on its own with a fresh cast and a darker, more intense tone. The sequel promises to be even more somber, raw, and gritty than the first season, as stated by director Kai Ikarashi with approval from the Polish studio behind the game, CD Projekt Red.

  • Where To Find All 14 Mementos in 007 First Light: Solving Complete Collection

    Where To Find All 14 Mementos in 007 First Light: Solving Complete Collection

    007 First Light is a stealth adventure game that puts you in James Bond’s shoes during the early part of his spy career. As you progress, you’ll face off against villains, solve puzzles, and fight through different locations worldwide.

    During your mission, you’ll find various collectibles. These not only help you learn more about the story but also unlock achievements. One such achievement is called “Recovered Assets,” which you earn after finding all 14 Mementos in the game. Below, you’ll find all the locations of these Mementos, making it easier to gather them without wandering aimlessly.

    All Memento Locations — Recovered Assets

    Similar to legacy items, Mementos are physical objects hidden throughout the levels in 007 First Light. There are 14 in total, and multiple Mementos can be in a single mission. Here’s a list of every Memento to help you find them easily.

    Satellite Part

    • During the opening mission, near the back left corner of the base, you’ll find a green G9 trailer. Inside, a guard will be standing with his back turned. Knock him out, approach the computer table, and you’ll spot the Satellite Part next to the screen.

    Cocktail Napkin

    • In the nightclub where your first mission takes place, go to the bar where you meet your contact. After talking, you’ll be instructed to use the bathroom; before heading there, quickly grab the napkin on the back counter to avoid detection.

    All The Time In The World (Pillow Mint)

    • In the hotel, after the first floor, look for the bedroom with the chess match. Use Q-Lens to spot a staff member with a yellow key. Poison him with a dart, then pickpocket the key. The Pillow Mint is located on a shelf near the cleaning cart outside the staff door.

    Championship Badge

    • Still in the hotel, once you’re exploring the top floor, head downstairs behind the referee’s station. Behind a black crate next to a locked door, you’ll find this badge sitting on top.

    Pirate Grillz

    • During the mission “The Past Never Dies,” earn $100,000 in the black market. The stall selling Pirate Grillz is directly across from your location after you’ve amassed the money. Purchase them for $1,000, then return to grab the Memento.

    Crocodile Tooth

    • After escaping the crocodile pit with Greenway, Bawma will escort you back to the Land Rover. Before getting inside, grab the Crocodile Tooth on the table behind the vehicle.

    Tero Murto Locket

    • At the start of “Man Of The Hour,” after the opening cutscene, go to the desk below. The Niko Murto Locket is resting on the left side of the desk.

    Niko Murto Locket

    • Found after defeating Bawma in the basement of “Uninvited.” Exit the boss fight area, and in the following room, a white box on a table contains the Restoration Room Keycard. Use it to open the door across, where you’ll find the locket on a table.

    Anniversary Pin

    • During “Uninvited,” reach the second floor into the gala. Head to the left side of the room where the press and café are, eavesdrop on the guards, and after the challenge “Always On Duty,” go to the coat check room. Inside, the pin is on a cart.

    Snow Globe

    • In “Wave of the Future,” when getting two ID bracelets in the cable car station, approach the reception desk. The Snow Globe is sitting on the right side of the counter.

    “For England” Model Car

    • Near the end of the mission “For England,” inside the Q-Lab when fighting enemies, go to the wardrobe room. Across from the changing rooms, on a table, you’ll find a model car.

    Additional Mementos (Examples)

    • Many Mementos are on tables, shelves, or tucked into hidden spots within the levels. For instance, in levels like “Knightfall,” you can find the Office Toy on a table in the office area after passing through a vent. In “Knightfall,” the Office Toy is located on a table after navigating a vent and passing the level’s sensors.

    With this guide, you should be able to track down all the collectibles needed to unlock the Recovered Assets achievement and enjoy a complete experience in 007 First Light.

  • How To Beat Murto During Uninvited in 007 First Light by Completing and Solving

    How To Beat Murto During Uninvited in 007 First Light by Completing and Solving

    “007 First Light” has been released, so it’s time to get dressed in your best suit, prepare a laser watch, and get ready to take down some unnamed henchmen. The game covers the early years of James Bond’s career as an MI6 agent, featuring a mix of sneaky stealth and intense action scenes.

    Most of your gameplay will have you sneaking around beautiful, exotic locations. But there will also be moments when you need to confront enemies directly. One of these moments is during your second fight with Murto in the museum basement during the “Uninvited” mission. Here’s how to defeat him if you’re having trouble taking him down.

    ### How To Defeat Murto

    The fight with Murto is a complex game of hide-and-seek. You start unarmed, and fighting him face-to-face will only get you killed. Instead, you need to sneak around the storage room below the museum and find ways to harm him using the environment. Your success depends on the gadgets you have with you, as some work better against Murto than others.

    When the fight begins, if you have the Laser Strap or Dart Phone, look to your right and up at the chandelier. Wait for Murto to walk underneath it, then use your gadget to drop the chandelier on him. This will take away one of his health bars, so don’t rush to attack him when he’s stunned.

    If you don’t have the Laser Strap, go left and squeeze through a gap in the shelves to reach an area with two big lights. Wait for Murto to come in front of one, then use your watch to hack it. This will cause the light to shoot fire at him, causing damage. There are two such lights, so if he avoids one, reposition and wait for him to approach the second.

    You can tell when Murto is in trap range because a yellow triangle with an exclamation point will appear over him when looking at him through your Q-Lens.

    —

    Between the traps, you’ll need to move quickly, as Murto will be searching the room at a rapid pace. Be cautious because the room is filled with motion sensors. Walking in front of them will trigger them, flash red, and cause Murto to charge toward you. These sensors can be deadly, so always stay alert.

    You also have the option to hack the motion sensors to set them off intentionally, drawing Murto toward you. This tactic is helpful because the room is large and sometimes difficult to lure him into certain areas. Additionally, you can hack the radio devices around the room to play sounds that will attract Murto, but be careful not to stand too close to the radios when doing this.

    Murto’s detection range is wide, so if you walk directly in front of him, he’s likely to spot you and open fire. If that happens, quickly move to another part of the room to hide until he loses track of you. To fully deplete his health, you will need to trigger three different traps with Murto nearby.

    Once you’ve managed to hit all the traps and reduce his health, a cutscene will trigger, ending with Murto defeated. There’s no extra fight or phase afterward.

    After beating him, head into the open room on the right outside the storage area. You will find a box in the back corner containing the Restoration Room Keycard. Use this keycard to open the door across from you, where you’ll find the Tero Murto Locket on a table.

  • Top Enhancements for Completing First in Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core

    Top Enhancements for Completing First in Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core

    Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core offers a range of upgrades scattered across a detailed skill tree that you unlock gradually by completing core runs. Your choices mainly depend on your preferred playstyle: do you want to focus on defense or offense?

    Unlocking all these upgrades and reaching their highest levels takes quite some time, as it requires significant progress. Once you’ve chosen a skill path, you can’t refund or change your decision, so pick carefully. Here are some of the top upgrades I recommend to give you an idea of what to aim for:

    Ammo Pouch I
    I went straight for Ammo Pouch I because ammo management can be frustrating in Rogue Core. You never seem to have enough. I tried carrying only one gun to maximize the 50% ammo bonus but still ran out too often. This upgrade gives an 8% increase in total ammo, which is helpful since you’ll want to explore this branch of the skill tree anyway.

    Resupplier I
    Continuing with the same theme of boosting ammunition supplies, I picked Resupplier I for the 5% bonus ammo when resupplying. Even a small percentage can make a difference during a swarm, giving you a slight edge in survival.

    Deadeye I
    This is where damage perks start to really matter. Deadeye provides a solid 10% boost to critical hit damage. On a run, this makes you more effective with your critical hits, so focusing on increasing crit chance from your radar (R.E.P.D.) and artifacts is a smart move.

    Bullseye I
    To complement the damage boost, I took Bullseye early to gain a 2% increase to critical hit chance. It may seem small, but stacking this with subsequent upgrades and the perks gained during a run can significantly enhance your crit potential over time.

    Battering Ram I
    Since armored enemies can be quite irritating—they absorb a lot of damage—I recommend using armor-shredding weapons and grabbing Battering Ram I, which boosts armor damage by 25%. This makes fighting armored foes much less frustrating.

    Ammo Pouch II
    As I was still annoyed by ammo limits, I picked Ammo Pouch II to add another 12% to your maximum ammo capacity. Combining this with Ammo Pouch I means more sustained firepower.

    Resupplier II
    Similarly, Resupplier II grants an additional 5% ammo bonus upon resupplying. Running Ammo Pouch I and II together, plus Resupplier I and II, stacks benefits for a sustained ammo supply throughout the mission.

    Sweet Tooth II
    I chose Sweet Tooth II primarily to access higher-tier upgrades, but it also provides extra healing from red sugar, the resource used to recover health. It’s particularly valuable on tougher difficulties.

    Deadeye II
    Upgrading Deadeye to level two boosts critical damage by an additional 15%, resulting in a total increase of 25%. This makes your crits devastating and is a key part of a damage-focused build.

    Bullseye II
    Finally, Bullseye II adds another 3% chance to land critical hits. Combined with Deadeye upgrades, these enhancements turn your character into a crit-focused powerhouse.

    Stacking these enhancements together creates a strong build, emphasizing critical hits and sustained damage, especially effective against armored enemies and in prolonged fights.

  • First Steps for Completing Hotel Architecture and Solving Design Challenges

    First Steps for Completing Hotel Architecture and Solving Design Challenges

    Managing sim games isn’t a new idea, but Hotel Architect offers a fresh experience by placing you in the role of a hotel owner. It provides both specific scenarios to manage and a sandbox mode where you can build the five-star hotel you’ve always dreamed of.

    You’ll need to oversee different types of staff, add amenities to satisfy a variety of guests, design and decorate each hotel floor, and do all this without falling into debt or running out of money. Whether you’re new to this game or the genre, here are some tips to help you understand the systems and ensure your hotel management journey goes smoothly.

    Upgrade Construction Crew Size and Worker Speed First

    In Hotel Architect, construction workers are essential—they build everything from new foundations and staff equipment to room decorations. However, construction takes in-game time; it’s not instant.

    You can make this process faster by upgrading your large construction crew and increasing worker speed. Investing in these upgrades boosts their speed by up to 140%, making it quicker to add new floors and zones. Although these upgrades cost more initially, they save time in the long run and help you unlock new facilities that increase your revenue.

    Avoid Building Big Sections Early On

    While expanding your hotel to accommodate more guests is tempting, it’s best not to rush into large-scale construction early in the game. If your larger crews aren’t yet unlocked or upgraded, building too much at once can slow down progress.

    Remember, new hotel areas are built gradually over time, not instantly. Focus on small, manageable sections to avoid missing important elements and to keep your operations running smoothly.

    Tip: Place a Material Supply near your main construction zone before starting major builds. This prevents delays caused by waiting for supplies and helps keep your project moving efficiently.

    Monitor Guest Review Scores

    Your goal is to develop a five-star hotel, which depends heavily on guest feedback. Positive reviews from guests and critics are crucial.

    You can view recent reviews by clicking on the thumbs-up icon next to your star level. The reviews are color-coded: green for ratings above 80%, yellow for around 60%, and orange or red for poor scores. Regularly checking these helps you identify areas needing improvement to boost your overall ratings.

    Note: Currently, the game doesn’t offer colorblind options. Hovering over review categories can show the exact percentage if you prefer precise information.

    Prioritize Staff Facilities Over Upgrades for Guests

    Each scenario in the game emphasizes certain guest types based on location. While it’s tempting to upgrade amenities based on guest needs first, it’s more effective to improve staff facilities early on.

    Upgrading staff equipment makes their tasks easier and faster, which helps maintain cleanliness and other standards—especially when you have many rooms. Faster staff performance prevents issues like towel shortages or trash buildup, which can impact guest reviews negatively.

    Check Your Notification Log Regularly

    With multiple floors and ongoing construction, it’s easy to overlook small issues. The in-game notification log, accessible via the paper and bell icon at the bottom right, details all occurrences—guest reviews, supply shortages, equipment failures, maintenance problems, and more.

    Staying on top of these notifications allows you to address problems early before they escalate, keeping your hotel running smoothly and maintaining high guest satisfaction.

    Use Sandbox or Free Play Modes for Practice

    Tutorial scenarios are helpful but often limited in scope and resources. To experiment freely, use the Sandbox or Free Play modes, which can be selected from the main menu.

    Sandbox mode lets you customize location, starting cash, and game settings, while Free Play offers a similar experience within a scenario’s environment but with more freedom. Just be cautious when saving, as Free Play files share the same save slot as scenarios, so avoid overwriting important data.

    Set Up a Maintenance Room Early

    Building your hotel from scratch in Free Play or Sandbox mode gives you full creative control, including room layout. However, setting up a maintenance room right away is vital.

    Without a dedicated maintenance space, you may find yourself running out of supplies for your restaurant, bar, snack machines, and linens. Properly staffed maintenance ensures your hotel runs without shortages, helping you avoid guest complaints and maintain a good review score.

    Spend Upgrade Points in Their Own Tier

    Players earn upgrade points from attracting specific guest types, which are used to upgrade various aspects of your hotel. The game has five tiers of upgrades:

    • Tier 1: Backpackers
    • Tier 2: Sports enthusiasts
    • Tier 3: Sunbathers and Business travelers
    • Tier 4: Young guests (Brats)
    • Tier 5: Upper-class guests

    Points can only be used in their respective tiers or lower ones. To maximize efficiency, spend points in the correct tier, as higher-tier points can’t be used for lower-tier upgrades, and misusing points cannot be reversed unless more guests of that type check out. Planning upgrades carefully ensures you get the most benefit from your points.

    Keep an Eye on Guest Feedback

    Your hotel’s success depends heavily on guest reviews. Use the review panel, accessed by clicking the thumbs-up icon, to see recent scores and comments. Green ratings (above 80%) indicate good performance, yellow (around 60%) suggest areas to improve, and red or orange highlight urgent issues.

    Regularly reviewing this feedback helps you pinpoint what needs fixing, whether it’s amenities, staff performance, or cleanliness, guiding your efforts to maintain a top-rated hotel.

    Overclocking Reduces cooldowns on your regular skills by 2.5%. 5 Void Matter Faster skills mean more attacks, which builds damage output and combo potential.
    Additional Corpora Enhancements Allows another use of the Corpora Enhancer. 30 Void Matter Extends the benefits you get from Corpora buffs. Multiple uses boost your overall strength.
    Attack Speed Augments Increase attack speed by 2.5%. 5 Void Matter Faster attacks are crucial in combat, letting you outpace enemies and deal more damage.
    Body Augmentation Adds an extra slot for character routines during the run. 30 Void Matter More slots for routines give you more options to customize your character and improve performance.

    Additional Tips

    You can always refund your upgrades if you change your mind—just hold the button that appears in the bottom left. Focus on the upgrades that complement your playstyle, but remember that early health and damage boosts tend to be the most beneficial for lasting longer and dealing with tougher enemies.

  • Tips for Completing and Solving Raccoin on Your First Playthrough

    Tips for Completing and Solving Raccoin on Your First Playthrough

    Whether you’ve played a real coin pusher machine before or not, you’ve probably never experienced anything like Raccoin. This game is based on the classic machine but adds many new twists, like coins with supernatural effects, prizes that break the rules, and a charming group of animals with special abilities.

    Although Raccoin is simple to pick up with a good tutorial, its many systems can be confusing at first. Here are some beginner tips to help you during your first few hours playing Raccoin.

    Learn How to Throw Coins

    In your early runs, focus on mastering how to throw coins. You do this by clicking the left and right mouse buttons or using the Q and E keys. The position of the upper board affects your throws: to push coins toward the sides, aim your throw as the upper board moves toward you. To keep coins in the middle, throw from either side while the board moves backward.

    Getting familiar with where coins land will help you gather coins on specific sides, which is useful for collecting prizes and maximizing your valuable coins.

    Don’t Spend All Your Tickets at First

    For your first couple of rounds, avoid splurging on shop items unless you have free purchases. Early on, you won’t earn many tickets, and buying a special coin can quickly use up most of your tickets. Tickets are needed not only to buy items but also to exchange for extra coins when needed.

    Wait until you have at least 50 tickets before making any purchases. This way, you can save your tickets for when they will be more useful.

    Keep Your Score Rate in Mind

    As you play and unlock more coins, you’ll notice many have special effects that add extra value to themselves or other coins. While high-value coins are good, it’s better to focus on your Score Rate—a multiplier that increases your total score.

    The score multiplier applies to all coins on the board, not just the special ones. A high multiplier can boost your points more than simply having expensive coins, so your goal should be to increase your Score Rate alongside collecting valuable coins.

    Buy Horizontal Clip Expansions First

    When starting out, aim to purchase Clip Expansions. They come in two types: vertical and horizontal. Vertical expansions let you hold more copies of the same coins, while horizontal expansions allow you to buy more different types of coins.

    Since you can only buy up to six expansions per game, and both types count together, it’s usually best to focus on horizontal expansions to diversify your collection early.

    Buy Killer Coins When They Appear

    Every few rounds, bad coins may appear that can disrupt your progress — for example, coins that destroy others or reduce your score. To counter this, you should look for Killer Coins. The most common is the raccoon, which can eliminate six nearby bad coins.

    It’s best not to buy many shop items early, but if you see a Killer Coin available, purchase it and keep it ready for when you need it. This helps you control bad coins and keeps your run going longer.

    Enter the Shop Quickly After Each Round

    Rounds usually end once you reach your target score. However, you can delay starting the next round by doing nothing. The game keeps the coins moving, but it’s better to start the new round immediately by pressing Enter when the shop becomes available. Waiting causes you to lose potential bonus points, and if the Wheel Spin is active, you won’t be able to close the round until it finishes.

    Finishing each round promptly means you keep the coins about to fall for the next round and start with a good base of points.

    Infinity Squishie Is the Best Modifier

    As you play more, you’ll unlock Modifiers—special items you attach to coins to add new effects. One of the most useful is Infinity Squishie.

    This Modifier makes a coin always return to your clip after falling out of the machine, being absorbed, or leaving the board. It essentially becomes eternal. When combined with powerful coins like Sun, which greatly change your board, having an Infinity Squishie is a big advantage because it allows your key coins to stick around and keep boosting your score.

    Don’t Let the Angry Blowfish Keychain Go

    After passing some rounds, you’ll receive Keychains that provide permanent rewards. For example, the Dog Food Keychain gives unlimited auto-fills, but as a beginner, it’s better to focus on the Angry Blowfish.

    This Keychain greatly expands the impact area of your prizes, making coins that absorb many others. Even if it doesn’t seem important at first, as you collect prizes and keychains, you’ll realize how valuable this upgrade is.

    By following these tips, you’ll get a strong start in Raccoin and be better prepared to make strategic moves while having fun playing.

  • Top Talismans to Complete First in Demon Tides

    Top Talismans to Complete First in Demon Tides

    Demon Tides builds upon the gameplay of Demon Turf by introducing new features while maintaining some of the original game’s strong points, such as the Mods system that allows you to customize Beebz’s moves.

    In this game, what were called Mods are now called Talismans. These Talismans are among the most exciting collectibles in the open world. They can be equipped to alter Beebz’s abilities in various ways. Some Talismans enhance her special moves, others add entirely new actions, and some simply boost stats or serve functional purposes. There are many Talismans to find, and each one can significantly change how Beebz performs.

    Some Talismans even have drawbacks if you’re looking for a challenge.

    Most Talismans are discovered by exploring the world and opening chests, but some are rewarded for completing certain missions or can be bought at Midgi’s Shop on the hub boat. Each boss fight unlocks a new Talisman slot, allowing you to equip up to five Talismans at once. Now that you understand how they work, let’s explore some of the best Talismans and where to find them.

    Eyetem Collector
    This early-game Talisman makes collecting Eyetems much easier. When equipped, it allows you to pull Eyetems toward Beebz with the press of a button. You can unlock it by completing Mr Mint’s challenge at Jester’s Minery in the first region.

    Spin Draft
    The Spin move in Demon Tides can lose momentum quickly, limiting how far Beebz can go. Spin Draft fixes this by providing a slight boost upward while spinning, making it a handy early-game Talisman. You can find it in a locked chest in Radio Towers FM, which is accessible after winning an easy race.

    Bat Flutter
    One of the most vital Talismans, Bat Flutter essentially grants Beebz the ability to triple jump, crucial for tight platform sections. It’s available early in the game in Lofty Highways after completing a race there. You’ll likely keep this equipped throughout your playthrough.

    Bat Glide
    Building on Bat Flutter, Bat Glide allows Beebz to glide forward briefly by holding the jump button in bat form. This is especially useful with Flutter. You get it for completing the Night Sight challenge in the second region, unlocked by placing a Dunkelwald lightbulb in the nearby lighthouse.

    Super Bat Jump
    Super Bat Jump lets Beebz escape from a super jump, which is one of her best platforming moves. Being able to recover quickly makes a big difference. It’s unlocked after completing Mr Mint’s challenge in Sgudal Ruins in the final region.

    Health Plus
    As its name suggests, this Talismans provides one extra health segment at all times. It’s useful in the game’s tougher moments, like boss fights. Purchase it from Midgi’s Shop early on for 50 Eyetems.

    Snake Boating
    This Talismans dramatically increases swimming speed when in Snake form, which you’ll often be doing. You can buy it from Midgi’s Shop in Act 1 for 50 Eyetems. While there are other snake-related Talismans, this one is the most essential.

    Speedy Demon
    Ideal for players who frequently boost, Speedy Demon causes Beebz to leave a trail of fire and move faster. It’s earned after winning a race at Slippery Slope in the second region.

    Blue Bubble
    This Talismans grants a new ability by letting you shoot out a bubble that bounces on surfaces, helping reach higher areas. You can get it by completing Mr Mint’s challenge in Frosttown Ruins.

    Twirl Jump
    If you want Beebz to spin around before jumping, similar to Luigi’s iconic move, the Twirl Jump is perfect. It’s found in a chest at Giant’s Fire in the second region, accessible via a tunnel in Lonely Glacier.

    Icy Steps
    While not highly functional, Icy Steps is a cool Talismans that freezes water beneath Beebz, preventing her from needing to swim. You find it in a chest at the top of a crane in Blessed Optica, unlocked with a fragile key.

    Light As A Feather
    Reducing gravity to make Beebz extremely light and agile, this Talismans is found at the top of the Gravity Well in the first region. It makes platforming much easier.

    Roller Skates
    A favorite for many players, Roller Skates cause Beebz to skate at high speeds after boosting, sacrificing some control. You can find them in a chest at Kappernian Springs in the second region.

    A few other snake-themed Talismans are available in shops, but none are as crucial as Snake Boating. There are also more Talismans not listed here, and updates will include new discoveries if they prove useful.

  • Best Weapon Upgrades To Focus On First In High on Life 2: Completing & Solving

    Best Weapon Upgrades To Focus On First In High on Life 2: Completing & Solving

    Weapons in High On Life 2 are more than just tools for combat; they are your closest friends, companions, and sometimes even the worst influences. While we appreciate every gun in their default state, the real excitement begins when you upgrade them at Jorb’s shop.

    You can also unlock weapon upgrades by completing various challenges around the game world. These are often the best upgrades to consider, along with their unlock times.

    What Weapon Upgrades Can You Get?

    High On Life 2 features six main weapons, with an additional seventh possible:

    • Bowie
    • Creature
    • Gus
    • Sheath
    • Sweezy
    • Travis & Jan

    Each weapon has a set of upgrades available either through gameplay or by purchasing from Jorb’s shop, found in your Quarters.

    Weapon Upgrade Name Effect Cost / How to Get When Unlocked
    Gus Cartridge Canal Increases ammo magazine size 800 Pesos Immediately after unlocking Jorb’s shop

    Travis & Jan Agony Dial Headshot multiplier 1,000 Pesos After rescuing your dad from a cult

    Focusing on the most beneficial upgrades helps you tackle tough boss fights with ease.

    Which Weapon Upgrades Should You Prioritize?

    First, decide which weapon suits your playstyle best and focus on upgrading that one first. High On Life 2 offers options for various strategies; don’t force a weapon to fit if it doesn’t suit your way of fighting.

    To make your journey easier, consider these essential upgrades first:

    • Bowie’s Bone Lock – Enhances headshot damage significantly. Mastering precision aiming makes this one of the most powerful shots.
    • Gus’s Slug Chunker & Cartridge Canal – Gus is great for finishing big bosses, especially those with larger hit points like Tiffany and Muppy Doo.
    • Travis & Jan’s Pouch Rounds & Agony Dial – These two are the top weapons overall. Upgrading both from Jorb’s shop is a smart move for maximizing damage and efficiency in both boss fights and regular combat.

    While other upgrades are helpful, focusing on these will reduce boss fight times and allow you to clear mobs more effectively.

  • Essential Parts to Upgrade First in Ride 6 for Completing and Solving

    Essential Parts to Upgrade First in Ride 6 for Completing and Solving

    When you’re ready to start quick races and multiplayer modes in Ride 6, choosing the right bike is essential. The game feels very realistic from the start. To succeed, you’ll need to spend your credits on upgrades that make your bike more competitive in races.

    At the beginning, there are several upgrades that can help you race better and stay with the pack. These upgrades are just the basics, and as you progress, you’ll want to do more or buy new bikes. When you’re just starting out, it’s best to save your credits for these initial upgrades.

    Upgrade These Bike Parts First

    Once you’re ready, head to the garage to modify your stock bike. Upgrading parts will also change your bike’s rating, showing how competitive it is.

    Besides cosmetic changes, you can customize specific parts to prepare your bike for different types of races. When starting out, focus on upgrading these specific components first.

    Parts Description
    Exhaust Upgrading the exhaust is the first step. It improves acceleration, top speed, handling, and braking. Aim for brands like Yoshimura or SC Project. Save at least 1,500 credits for one of these.
    Tires Upgrading tires gives you the best value early on. High-quality tires boost acceleration, handling, and braking — crucial skills for winning races.
    Braking System If you’re having trouble with handling, upgrading your brakes can help. Proper brakes are tough to master, but an upgrade makes it easier. The second brake kit is better if you have enough credits and find braking challenging.
    Camshaft Upgrading this part increases both your acceleration and top speed, helping you catch up when other racers get ahead on straightaways.
    Piston For better powertrain performance, start with the piston. Follow with connecting rods and air filters for maximum effect. Upgrading the control unit also boosts speed and acceleration. This helps you stay competitive on longer straight sections.
    Carburetor/Injector If your goal is faster acceleration, upgrading the carburetor or injector is a good choice. It offers a slight increase in top speed but mainly improves your acceleration.
    Rims Rims are less important but can still slightly affect acceleration, handling, and braking. Only consider upgrading rims after you’ve improved the other parts, since the performance gains are minimal.
  • Which Profession to Choose First in Starsand Island: Completing or Solving?

    Which Profession to Choose First in Starsand Island: Completing or Solving?

    After arriving on Starsand Island, you meet Solara in your new garden. Once you’ve done some basic clearing and learned crafting essentials, you’re free to explore the island. There are five main jobs you can take on: Crafter, Farmer, Angler, Rancher, and Explorer. The most important one initially is the Crafter, because without crafting and upgrading your skills, it’ll be hard to progress on the island.

    Each profession has its own mentor. You meet them during quests and when earning certification in that job. When you complete a certification, you revisit Solara for a reward. Your mentors are Zerine (Crafter), Graminova (Farmer), Francis (Angler), Pastelle (Rancher), and Zephyria (Explorer). You can find them on the map by pressing M or the menu button, selecting Mentors, then clicking on their icons and choosing Track to get there.

    The first major step after finishing your first Crafting Certificate is to try the Explorer job. You can do this by visiting Zephyria at the Explorer Club in the west. She’ll give you a Slingshot blueprint, an essential tool for navigating the mysterious Moonlit Forest, filled with magical resources.

    Farming and Angler are good to try next. These jobs are straightforward and help you earn money by growing crops or catching fish, which you can sell at the General Store. Many NPC vendors will buy your items, so you can usually sell what you buy or gather.

    Ranching is less critical at first but worth exploring once you’ve built most of your crafting stations. It’s a great way to start farming animals like rabbits, who can even eat weeds on your farm, making Ranching particularly useful if you’re focusing on farming.

    To improve your skills in each profession, you use the Workpedia app on your phone, where Starsand Points are earned by completing tasks, fulfilling requests, and leveling up. Tasks are listed in your StarNote app, which grants EXP and helps you level up. Every time you increase your level, there’s a chance to earn more Starsand Points, which you can spend in the Workpedia to make your work easier or faster.

    You can earn between 50 and 1,500 Starsand Points each day by completing quests on the Starsand Resident quest board outside the Community Center. The requests have different star ratings, with better rewards for higher ratings. Be aware that most requests have deadlines, so complete them on time to avoid losing your reward.

    Check your Workpedia daily to upgrade your skills in crafting, farming, and exploration. Improving these skills makes your actions more efficient and helps you progress faster through additional certifications and skill levels.

  • How to Play Vecna the First: Solving and Completing in Dead by Daylight

    How to Play Vecna the First: Solving and Completing in Dead by Daylight

    The second chapter of Stranger Things has been added to Dead By Daylight, bringing along a new Killer and two Survivors, just like the first chapter. Dustin Henderson, Eleven, and The First each have three unique perks that you can eventually incorporate into your own perk setups.

    The First, known as Vecna by the kids in Stranger Things, has special abilities that involve the Upside Down. He can weaken and eventually sacrifice Survivors using his powers. Here’s everything you need to understand about how to use his abilities and the best perk combinations to maximize his effectiveness.

    The First’s Unique Power and Perks

    The First’s main ability is a Vine Attack, which uses the power of the twisting vines from the Upside Down. This attack appears as a red portal on the ground that can be moved to hit Survivors. The secondary ability is the Undergate, a large red portal that activates when The First enters the Upside Down, traveling just below the surface of the ground.

    Tip: Aim the Vine Attack where the Survivor is about to go, not where they are now.

    When the Vine Attack or Undergate hits a Survivor, they gain a Worldbreaker token. Accumulating four tokens (which is the starting amount) activates Worldbreaker mode. At this point, all players are transported to a spooky, red-tinted version of the map called the Upside Down.

    While in Worldbreaker mode, The First can hit Survivors with his vine attack to injure them instead of gaining tokens. Once a Survivor has all the Worldbreaker tokens and is hooked twice, you can perform a mini-mori called the Mind Break after catching them in a Vine Attack again.

    His perks are generator-focused, slowing down repair progress in different ways. These perks complement his attack style, giving him extra time to trap Survivors with his powers. Though Vecna is relatively slow moving at 4.4 m/s, his ability to hit from a distance and apply tokens or injuries makes him a threat. He’s also faster when moving through the Undergate.

    Tip: While traveling in the Undergate, he can pass through the ground under pallets and vaults.

    His speed is a weakness for closing loops on foot, so it’s important to use his special abilities to apply Worldbreaker tokens and disrupt Survivors during their loops in the Upside Down.

    Locked for all players at Prestige 3, all of The First’s perks unlock for everyone. These perks are designed to monitor generator progress, block or explode generators, and hinder Survivor progress. The key perks include:

    Perk Description Guide
    Turn Back The Clock After hooking a Survivor, you have 60 seconds to target a nearby generator and cause it to regress by 10%. Use Power button to explode a generator within 20 meters after hooking a survivor.
    Secret Project When a totem is cleansed or blessed, it blocks a generator for 30 seconds and grants undetectable status for 30 seconds. Pair with perks that block generators to stay undetectable.
    Hex: Hive Mind After hooking your first Survivor, a dull totem becomes a Hex totem. All generators are highlighted, and when only one remains, all explode and regress. Use with other Hex perks for maximum effect.

    Best perk setups for The First:

    Turn Back The Clock Perk Build
    Begin with perks like Lethal Pursuer to find your first victim quickly. Focus on damaging generators and controlling others to slow the game.

    Perk Description Guide
    Hex: Hive Mind Shows generator progress for all generators, useful for applying Turn Back The Clock. Track generator status visually.
    Lethal Pursuer Reveals all survivors’ auras for 9 seconds at the start. Catch survivors early and hook quickly to activate your perks.
    Oppression Damages a generator and causes four others to regress, while making repairing survivors face difficult skill checks. Use to slow down repairs and gather info on their location.

    Secret Project Build
    This build makes use of generator-blocking perks like Deadlock, Grim Embrace, or Corrupt Intervention, which complement Secret Project’s ability to stay undetectable after totem cleansing.

    Perk Description Guide
    Deadlock / No Holds Barred Blocks the generator with most progress when another is completed, and grants undetectable from Secret Project. Use to stall multiple generator progress.
    Grim Embrace Blocks generators for 10 seconds after hooking a survivor, increasing to 40 seconds when all survivors are hooked once, and shows the Obsession. Use to keep generators from advancing.
    Corrupt Intervention Blocks the 3 furthest generators at trial start, giving you time to set up. Pair with Secret Project to stay undetectable from the start.

    Hex: Hive Mind Build
    Sometimes, a full Hex build is enough to spice up matches. Hex: Hive Mind grants good information on generator progress; when its totem is cleansed, the perk disappears, so backup perks like Thrill Of The Hunt, Hex: Pentimento, and Hex: The Third Seal add more layers of disruption.

    Perk Description Guide
    Hex: Thrill Of The Hunt Produces tokens for each remaining Hex totem, decreasing Survivor totem cleansing rates. Use to slow down their healing and cleansing.
    Hex: Pentimento Allows relighting of cleansed totems; relit totems slow healing and repairing, and become unrecoverable if all are re-lit. Keep totems re-lit for control.
    Hex: The Third Seal After injuring a Survivor, they are blinded and their aura becomes hidden, preventing them from seeing other Hex totems. Block their awareness of your positioning.

    Using these perks and strategies, The First can efficiently control generators, limit Survivor progress, and enforce his command over the map, especially when combined with his unique powers.
