Elden Ring is a souls-like dark fantasy game where players take on the role of the Tarnished, an individual called to create a new “Elden Lord”, adventuring through the Lands Between.

For fans of the series that are already knee-deep in the DLC, or for those who haven’t quite had the time to dive in just yet, there’s no better time to build on hype surrounding the Shadow of Erdtree release by watching and reading anime and manga that situate themselves in the dark fantasy genre.

Hellsing

Hellsing-Ultimate-official-artwork-of-a-man-in-a-large-red-coat-holding-a-gun

While Hellsing doesn’t take place in a medieval fantasy setting, it does have all the grime and gore that fans of Elden Ring‘s brutal battles can’t get enough of. Hellsing follows an elusive organization that investigates a variety of supernatural threats. After being called in to look into a vampire terrorizing the village of Cheddar and turning the townsfolk into ghouls. The organization dispatches their most valuable member to look into the threat: a vampire called Alucard.

Hellsing is such a unique spin on dark fantasy in the way that it combines post-modern politics and social commentary in with a grisly, bloody story. Plus, for anime fans that love delving deep into franchises they love, Hellsing is an early example of a series that received the “Brotherhood” treatment. The original Hellsing anime only follows the manga up to a certain point before diverting slightly, while Hellsing Ultimate follows the manga’s story much more closely.

Bastard!! -Heavy Metal, Dark Fantasy-

Bastard-official-artwork-of-Dark-Schneider-in-the-2022-anime-adaptation

Action-packed with just the right amount of self-awareness to be fun and occasionally campy, 2022’s Bastard!!, based on the original manga by Kazushi Hagiwara and produced by Liden Films, embraces every eccentricity the series has to offer.

After an apocalyptic event caused by a demon named Anthrasax who was subsequently slain by the Dragon Knight, Earth is sent spiraling into a dark age. In the present day, a kingdom known as Metallicana is invaded by the “Dark Rebel Army”, who aim to bring the demon back to life. These events lead the the kingdom’s high priest requesting that his daughter reawaken Dark Schnieder, the leader of the Dark Rebels, who reincarnates in a young man named Lucien. While the story can be campy, with all the flashy designs and humor that comes from a series that originally released in the late 80s, it’s infectiously fun.

Dororo

A-screencap-from-Dororo-2019-of-Dororo-and-Hyakkimaru-traveling-together

Based on Osamu Tezuka’s manga of the same name, 2019’s adaptation of Dororo by Tezuka Productions and MAPPA is a haunting blend of historical fiction and dark fantasy. The story follows Hyakkimaru, who, when he was born, had his organs and limbs sacrificed to twelve demon gods by a feudal lord in exchange for his people’s prosperity. He’s later adopted by a doctor named Jukai, who gives him his name and raises him as his own.

As Hyakkimaru becomes a teen, he is attacked by demons, but develops the idea to see their silhouettes and fights back. He reigns victorious, and regains the ability to feel pain. His adoptive father sends him on a journey to regain his body, and on his way meets a young child named Dororo. The two begin traveling together, learning many of the harsh realities of the world around them, and more importantly: what it means to be a human being.

Claymore

Official-artwork-from-the-Claymore-manga-of-the-lead-character-wielding-her-titular-blade

Perhaps one of the most iconic high fantasy manga ever written, Claymore, created by Norihiro Yagi, takes place in a traditional medieval setting where humanity is being ravaged by beings called “Yoma”, shape-shifters that feed on humans. A group known only as “The Organization” maufactures Yoma-hybrids to fight back against this threat. Referred to as “Claymores” or “Silver-Eyed Witches” by the public, this elite force of female warriors are powered by demonic energy that gives them superhuman strength, similar to that of the Yoma.

Claymore‘s world is incredibly vast, and Norihiro’s artstyle is nothing short of breathtaking. The illustrations of the Yoma seems to loom off the page, and the fight sequences between the Claymores and their otherworldy prey are heartstoppingly intense. For fans of Elden Ring’s unique world and visually impressive monsters, Claymore is an instant favorite that diehard fans of the games shouldn’t go overlooking.

Berserk

Official-Berserk-artwork-of-Griffith-and-a-demonic-skeletal-warrior-standing-behind-him

While it may seem like the obvious choice, for the uninitiated, Berserk is hands-down the best manga that fans of Elden Ring should be reading. In addition to the games constant nods and references to Miura’s legendary dark fantasy manga, Berserk is nothing short of a horrifying, gorgeous adventure story.

The manga follows Guts, a swordsman who, in the beginning, is a lone wolf; and Griffith, the leader of a band of mercenaries called the Band of the Hawk. The two eventually bond – but the story doesn’t end happily with the pair becoming some sort of adventuring party. Quite the contrary, with Griffith later betraying Guts and his crew, sacrificing them to a powerful demonic being. After this cataclysmic event, Guts journeys onward to seek revenge on Griffith. While there’s plenty of details being left out of such a simplified synopsis, Berserk is a legendary fantasy franchise, and while the series struggles to be adapted into an animated medium, it still stands as one of the most influential pieces of dark fantasy fiction to ever be released.

These games involve no violence. They focus on logic, enabling you to learn without even realizing it.

The reason behind Coolmath Games being a popular portal is in the quality of its browser games. They manage to be entertaining and kid friendly while often providing good challenges and managing to teach in a fun way.

The 10 Best CoolMath Games

Run 3

Run-3

Run 3 is an intriguing platformer where gravity shifts as you approach a wall. When you hold a key to the left or right, you are drawn to that wall and it becomes your floor. It’s a very fun gimmick for an Endless Runner platformer that would otherwise be quite dull. That said, I spend a while seeing how far I could get and the challenges keeps the game interesting and fresh for a long time.

Chess

What more can I say? Chess is always a good choice. You can play chess with friends or against a random opponent. If you just want a quick way to play chess on a browser, this one works pretty well. It’s probably why it’s one of the most popular Coolmath games. Coolmath’s Chess also has skins that radically change the way the game looks. For instance, you can play on a simple 2D board or on a very fancy 3D board with beautiful chess pieces and an expensive looking wood board.

Clicker Heroes

This typical idle game promises many exciting moments when you finally accumulate enough gold to upgrade your hero or hire an assistant, allowing the gold to accumulate on its own. It’s as deep as any other idle game, but it might have just enough to keep a kid entertained for hours.

Unblocked

This puzzle game has a straightforward concept, which is what makes it good. The board has a bunch of blocks and you have to make a clear path for the red block to go through the hole on the side of the board. The puzzles start pretty easy and get increasingly harder. The less moves you make, the more points you are awarded. It’s one of those simple concepts that can become over complicated and challenging, making it a great for those who want to improve their problem-solving skills.

Moto X3M

While a 2D physics-based motorcycle game may not be innovative, it doesn’t make Moto X3M any less enjoyable. The game has many different levels with unique challenges and obstacles, keeping it fresh and fun. There is a surprising amount of challenge variation, which I very much appreciate.

Dark Tomb

This exploration game, which is very well designed, gives off the vibe of an old NES game. You have a jump button, an action button to interact with items and the environment, and a lamp that helps with the sense of immersion in exploring a dark tomb. The game has a decent retro sound design, fun puzzles, and pretty good pixel art that made me pleasantly surprised to have found it on Coolmath.

There Is No Game

This is the most unconventional browser game I’ve ever played. It’s one of those experiences that make you smile while you realize how creative, fun, and interesting the game is. I very much appreciate there’s no game. I can’t talk much about it without spoiling the experience, but the game has a narrator who tries to convince you that there is no game. Now you have to click on the screen, think outside the box, and solve these very unusual puzzles that are presented to you by There Is No Game.

MetroCubeVania

Image: Attack of the Fanboy

A surprisingly good browser-based Metroidvania game with straightforward controls. You use the arrows to move and C to jump. Initially, the cube can only jump, but you obtain power-ups like a double jump and others that assist in navigating the stage to gather the medals needed to complete the game. The graphics are not great, but the game can be quite challenging and fun at times.

The Sun for the Vampire 3

This is a straightforward puzzle platformer. While there’s nothing particularly unique about this game, its ease of play and functionality are sufficient to keep children engaged and focused. Also, since it’s a puzzle game, it’s good for kids to practice logical thinking.

Blightborne

This is a remarkably intricate, refined platformer. It offers numerous items, abilities, and paths for exploration. You have to run, jump, and fight the evil lurking in the dungeons in order to save your village. This platforming in this game feels good, the art is also surprisingly decent, and the game overall just feels ambitious when compared to other platformers that you can find on Coolmath.

]]> 0 975119 14 Best Fortnite Icon Skins, Ranked https://attackofthefanboy.com/games/best-fortnite-icon-skins-ranked/ https://attackofthefanboy.com/games/best-fortnite-icon-skins-ranked/#respond Wed, 22 Nov 2023 18:46:17 +0000 https://attackofthefanboy.com/?p=967295 Some of the best Fortnite Icon skins are still seen today because of how beloved they are. You can probably guess some of them, but I can guarantee you’ve seen many. Check out the list below for the best Fortnite Icon skins ranked from the least to the best.

Top Fortnite Icon Skins, ranked

14 – Astro Jack

Image: Epic Games

Astro Jack is a humanoid astronaut with a glowing blue head and a purple suit. He has a variety of cosmetic items that can be purchased with V-Bucks, including a back bling, pickaxe, and glider. It was released on April 22, 2020. This is just Travis Scott in a specific skin that’s based on his full cosmetic. We’re counting this as its own because players tend to treat the Astroworld (aka “Astro Jack”) skin and Travis Scott as two separate skins.

I think this is one of the better skins because of the way the helmet and frown face work. It’s unique, and I’ve definitely never seen anything close to it.

13 – Patrick Mahomes

fortnite-patrick-mahomes-outfit-with-other-styles
Image: Epic Games

The skin is based on Patrick Mahomes, the quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League (NFL), and it was released on August 25, 2022. You’ve got three styles: one that looks casual with the black arm sleeve, the higher tier with a robotic arm, and the armor-clad arm with a helmet that reminds me of a Trojan or Gladiator.

This skin is on the list because there are a lot of football fans who like to play Fortnite. Patrick Mahomes is a popular sports player, and I can see why they added this skin. This Fortnite skin does have the issue where the series is making Icons out of people who have almost no connection to the game. I can see why a lot of people don’t like the idea of it.

12 – SypherPK

fortnite-sypherpk-outfit-and-styles
Image: Epic Games

The skin is based on SypherPK’s signature look. SypherPK, whose real name is Ali Hassan, is a popular Fortnite content creator and streamer known for his informative and entertaining gameplay videos. It was released on September 23, 2022. I remember this skin coming out and thinking that while it was super cool, it was pretty late. SypherPK is known as the “Trap King” and is the most loyal to Fortnite out of anyone on this list. He deserved a skin right after Ninja got one, to be honest.

I like the purple variant because it looks way cooler and reminds me of Fortnitemares. Although I have seen many people stick to the shirtless version instead.

11 – Loserfruit

Image: Epic Games

Released on June 22, 2020, the Loserfruit skin is a popular Icon Series skin in Fortnite. The skin is based on the Australian Twitch streamer and YouTuber of the same name. Loserfruit, also known as Kathleen Belsten, is a popular content creator and streamer, and her skin was one of the first in the Icon series. Loserfruit was a popular Fortnite creator at the time and established the idea that to be an Icon, you had to be associated with Fortnite.

That quickly died off, but we can look to Loserfruit as the glory days. I personally love it because of the rainbow colors on the sleeves.

10 – TheGrefg

Image: Epic Games

Released on January 17, 2021, the TheGrefg skin is a popular Icon Series skin in Fortnite. TheGrefg, a popular Spanish YouTuber and Twitch streamer, collaborated with Fortnite to create his own Icon Series skin. He was supposed to get his skin far earlier. I remember writing about this back when I was a Fortnite Writer. It had been teased a year before, but he kept getting passed up.

I love the skin — it looks like a wrestler, and I remember that many thought the black balls were going to be Dragon Balls since TheGrefg loves Dragon Ball Z.

9 – LeBron James

lebraon-james-with-suit-basketball-outfit-fortnite
Image: Epic Games

Released on July 15, 2021, The LeBron James Fortnite Icon skin was available in three styles: a default style, a Taco Tuesday style, and a black hoodie suit. The default style features a white jersey with James’ number 6 on the front and the word “James” on the back. The jersey black hoodie suit is also adorned with gold wolves on the shoulders and a king’s crown on LeBron’s head. The Taco Tuesday style features a teal shirt with a taco graphic on the front.

I could see why Epic Games capitalized on this because it was when the new Looney Tunes movie came out. What was disappointing to me was that this was a big departure from what Icon skins were. They were supposed to just be for those who helped the game or were involved in it. LeBron has almost nothing to do with Fortnite, and it showed that Icon skins were basically something companies could buy into.

8 – Ariana Grande

Image: Epic Games

Released on August 5, 2021, the Ariana Grande skin is a popular Icon Series skin in Fortnite. The skin is based on the American singer and actress of the same name, and features a variety of cosmetics, including a skin, back bling, pickaxe, and emote.

I love the Ariana Grande Skin, as well as the event that happened alongside it. In my mind, her concert was the second- or third-best event in the game. The skin looks graceful, regardless of which one you’re wearing. I am a huge fan of concert tours in Fortnite.

7 – LazarBeam

Image: Epic Games

Released on March 5, 2021, the LazarBeam skin is a popular Icon Series skin in Fortnite. The skin is based on the Australian YouTuber and gamer of the same name, and features a variety of cosmetics, including a skin, back bling, pickaxe, and emote.

Lazarbeam is an okay streamer to watch, in my opinion, but his skin was a sweaty one. I think it’s because it looked so simple, and sweats tend to like to look like everyone else. That way, when they beat you, it makes you rage more.

6 – Lachlan

Released on November 13, 2020, the Lachlan skin is a popular Icon Series skin in Fortnite. The skin is based on the Australian YouTuber and gamer of the same name, and features a variety of cosmetics, including a skin, back bling, pickaxe, and emote.

Lachlan was not supposed to come out when it did. TheGrefg was supposed to come out because it was one of the three first Icon Skins teased. However, it seems like Lachlan was able to move his way in, and his skin is pretty cool. I remember Lachlan even bought a new Twitch interface for his gameplay when he revealed the skin.

5 – Bugha

Image: Epic Games

Released on July 21, 2021, the Bugha skin is a popular Icon Series skin in Fortnite. The skin is based on the American esports player and Fortnite World Cup champion of the same name, and features a variety of cosmetics, including a skin, back bling, pickaxe, and emote.

Bugha is a big name in Fortnite because he won — and then the COVID pandemic happened. This meant that there was no tournament for the next year, leaving Bugha as a champion for much longer than intended. I like the story of Bugha, and his skin is a rare one to see, but it’s got a lot of history on it.

4 – Travis Scott

Image: Epic Games

First released on April 22, 2020, the Travis Scott skin is one of the most popular Icon Series skins in Fortnite. The skin is based on the American rapper and singer of the same name and features the rapper without a shirt on, showcasing his ripped physique.

The Travis Scott skin is hard, there’s no denying that. He looks like a gangster and almost mimics 50 Cent’s iconic shredded body. I’ve always thought this skin looked cool, and now it’s a way to show how long you’ve been in the game.

3 – MrBeast

Image: Epic Games

Released on December 15, 2022, MrBeast’s skin is one of the most basic yet easily recognizable in the Icon Series. It shows MrBeast as we know him, with a hoodie displaying his name and his facial hair. It seems modest yet friendly, like we know him.

I’ve seen so many MrBeast skins that I am tired of it, but the more famous he gets, the more we see of him. This one will probably always be popular.

2 – Ninja

Image: Epic Games

Released on January 17, 2020, the Ninja skin is a popular Icon Series skin in Fortnite. The skin is based on the American Twitch streamer and esports player of the same name. This was the skin that launched the Icon Series, and there is no streamer that is more recognizable for Fortnite than Ninja.

We’ve seen plenty: NickMercs, TimTheTatman, DrDisRespect, Tfue, SypherPK, Myth, and so many more, but none have had the staying power for Fortnite that Ninja has. I still love the skin and hate myself for not having bought it when it first released. it’s so perfect, and Ninja still uses it sometimes when he plays Fortnite.

1 – Marshmello

fortnite-marshmello-outfits
Image: Epic Games

Released on February 1, 2019, the Marshmello skin is another popular Icon Series skin in Fortnite. The skin is based on the American electronic music producer and DJ of the same name. There have been a few different skins under the Marshmello Icon brand, so we’re counting them as one since they look very similar.

I liked the look but was never a fan. Still, there’s no denying how loved this skin is.

To keep those players coming back, the developers continue to release new weapons, and while that does make the game fresh, it makes it harder for players to find the best attachments for every weapon. To help with this, we’re here with a guide going through every single weapon in the game, best weapon or otherwise, along with the best attachments for those guns.

Best Attachments For Every PUBG Gun

So, how do we determine which gun attachment is the best for a specific gun? Well, we consider several factors, including overall popularity, how much of a positive difference the attachment can make, and, of course, some personal bias. Look, we just really like to play with the holographic sight, okay?

After the release of the PlayStation in 1994, Sony started to produce hit after hit with their console exclusives and their succeeding consoles. Here’s everything you need to know about the PlayStation generations in order of their release dates.

PlayStation (1994)

The original Playstation paved the way to a cartridge-less era and used CDs to run games instead. The console encapsulated many nostalgic titles, such as Twisted Metal and the first Metal Gear Solid game. Many long-time gamers cherish their original PlayStation since it carries many childhood memories.

PlayStation One (2000)

Sony decided to release an iteration of the original PlayStation, also known as PS1. There are a handful of changes from the original, including a much slimmer design with more compatibility with up-to-date technology at the time. The slim form factor even allowed mods like the LCD Screen Combo to be compatible with the PlayStation.

PlayStation 2 (2000)

The PlayStation 2 is one of the best consoles to have ever graced the gaming community. The console has many iconic games that we still play today, from Kingdom Hearts to Spyro. It’s even evident from the numbers considering that the PS2 is the best-selling console of all time. The PS2 was also one of the first home consoles to offer more than up to four-player multiplayer with the Multitap accessory.

PlayStation 2 Slim (2004)

Playstation-2-slim-2004-all-playstation-generations-in-order

Once again, Sony released an iteration of its iconic console with the PS2 Slim. With almost similar changes to the form factor, Sony decided to strip down the HDD support and replace its front-loading disc drive with a top-loading one. The PS2 Slim is also much more reliable than the Fat version. Its barebones parts resulted in a quieter and cooler experience. Plus, more players prefer the Playstation 2 Slim over the Fat one simply because it has more colorways and takes less space.

PlayStation Portable (2004)

Sony ventured into the portable scene with its PlayStation Portable. Although the PSP did not get many ports from its counterpart (PS2), it got many exclusive titles, such as Final Fantasy: Crisis Core, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, and many more awesome games. It was an exhilarating time for PlayStation fans as they get to play the console anywhere they want.

PlayStation 3 (2006)

The PlayStation 3 is an underrated console due to the colossal success of its predecessor. However, it took a while before it found its footing. One of its best features is backward compatibility with PS2 games (which Sony disabled for some reason). With many issues upon launch, such as high price points and highly complicated tools to properly develop games, the PS3 had its ups and downs. It still became successful to a degree, but not to the extent that its older brother had.

PlayStation 3 Slim (2009)

Playstation-3-slim-2009-all-playstation-generations-in-order

Following Sony’s routine with its console lineup, it released a Slim version of the PS3. Like its predecessor, the PS3 Slim used less power than its counterpart, making it last longer. It also had a better storage option and a matte finish, which meant it was less likely to garner fingerprints.

PlayStation Vita (2011)

The PlayStation Vita is Sony’s second attempt at making a portable console. Although the Vita had a ton of flaws, like its overpriced memory card and fast-draining battery, the console still did well in terms of sales. It’s also JRPG heaven, boasting a surprisingly hefty number of JRPGs on it, from exclusives like World Trigger to well-known titles like Persona 4 Golden.

We can also confidently say that the Playstation Vita was a portable console way ahead of its time. It has a touch screen, a decent LCD/OLED screen, a back touchpad, left and right analog sticks, and a better D-pad than the PSP. The console had potential, one that Sony could have capitalized on but didn’t.

PlayStation 3 Super Slim (2012)

To many fans’ surprise, Sony released another iteration of the PS3 in the PS3 Super Slim, boasting an even slimmer design than the previous version. It also only used about 190 Watts power supply, half of the original PS3 Fat. The design was almost a hybrid of the Slim and the Fat PS3 with its mixed matte and glossy textures. The PS3 Super Slim is one of the quietest consoles in the market, which meant that Sony did a great job stripping the Slim version further.

PlayStation 4 (2013)

The biggest comeback of Sony’s failure with the PS3 was its successor, the PlayStation 4. The PS4 currently has some of the best Sony exclusives (some of them are formerly exclusive), such as The Last Of Us, Days Gone, Ghost of Tsushima, and Bloodborne. The PS4 also has an upgraded controller with a touchpad, an LED light, and a subjectively better trigger and shoulder buttons. The PS4 was a one-of-a-kind console that firmly cemented Sony as the “King of Consoles.”

PlayStation 4 Slim (2014)

Playstation-4-Slim-2014-all-playstation-generations-in-order
Image: Sony Interactive Entertainment

Like other slim models, the Playstation 4 Slim drastically reduced the console’s power consumption. The console also took up less physical space with a better cooling system. Sony also made the console much more accessible to customers as they can now easily clean and upgrade the HDD of the PS4.

The PS4 Slim comes with an upgraded DS4 controller, which includes a different placement for the LED bar. It lets players seamlessly see which character they control or their health status depending on the game’s implementation of the feature.

PlayStation 4 Pro (2016)

Playstation-4-Pro-2016-all-playstation-generations-in-order

The PlayStation 4 Pro is an upgraded version of the base PS4. The considerably better GPU provides better graphical fidelity and smoothness for players. Developers also deployed updates to their games, allowing players to opt for a high-fidelity or high-performance mode. Most PlayStation owners today have this specific model.

PlayStation Classic (2018)

Playstation-Classic-2018-all-playstation-generations-in-order
Image: Sony Interactive Entertainment

As a way of celebrating their first-ever console, Sony released the PlayStation Classic. It is a modern take on the PlayStation One. It sports a better GPU and compatibility with modern TVs with an HDMI connection. It also has a feature that can upscale games to 720p, making them look as crisp and HD as possible. The PlayStation Classic is really just an upgraded PlayStation One, so the only games you can play on it are physical copies of games for the old console.

PlayStation 5 (2020)

Playstation-5-2020-all-playstation-generations-in-order

The PlayStation 5 is one of the most powerful consoles ever by Sony. It rocks a new Dualshock controller with a whole lot of new features. The DualSense and its premium counterpart, Dualsense Edge, are notably known for their adaptive triggers, which primarily adjust the tension your finger will experience depending on the character’s action in-game.

The console pushes the limits of graphics to the next level, and developers will continue even to make more graphically demanding games as the PS5 matures into its next stage of development. A quick look at Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart’s gameplay, one of the console’s first exclusives, will tell you as much.

We also got a look at Strand, the new element, and Arc 3.0. For now, let’s take a deeper look at what Cloud Striders are in Destiny 2.

Cloud Striders in Destiny 2

Though we won’t see Lightfall until February 2023, we do know a lot about Cloud Striders. Lightfall will take place on Neomuna, a neon cityscape on Neptune, which is the home of the Cloud Striders. The Witness, the biggest bad in all of Destiny 2, is getting closer and closer to the Traveler and is using vessels to attack humankind. During Lightfall, The Witness controls Calus, the King of Cabal, who was an ally to humanity. Calus and his Shadow Legion are going to reign terror on Neomuna. We, along with the Cloud Striders, need to defend Neomuna and fight The Witness back. The Cloud Striders are a group of humanity that settled and flourished on Neptune. They volunteer among their people to fight the darkness. Cloud Striders are like Guardians for their civilization but they don’t have Ghosts or the Traveler. It is assumed that we as Guardians will work side by side with the Cloud Striders to fight Calus and his army. Unfortunately, that is all we know about Cloud Striders so far. Until Lightfall gets closer, we won’t know much about Cloud Striders, if there is a lead character that we will get to know, or how they will incorporate into the story of Lightfall. For now, check out how to get the 30th Anniversary Pack for free, the best Arc 3.0 builds, and more on our Destiny 2 page. Destiny 2 is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Google Stadia, and PC.

Keeping achievements hidden like this are usually done to prevent spoiling the story in the description, so do expect minor spoilers ahead. This achievement list is a fairly generic one: story achievements, collectible achievements, cumulative achievements, and a few miscellaneous ones, but nothing stands out as particularly egregious here. For fans of RPGs, this title should be a comparably very straightforward 1000G, and a fun one at that. The full list of achievements will be given below, not just the secret achievements, for player convenience.

The Ascent Secret Achievements

The-Ascent-Secret-Achievements Here are the 15 secret achievements in The Ascent.

  • Comprehensive (50G) You filled the Codex
  • Curious consumer (15G) You read 10 datapads
  • Flatliner (50G) Unlocked all enemy Codex entries

The hardest part of getting this completion will likely be unlocking all of the enemy Codex entries, though the game is new, so once some time has elapsed and collectible guides are out, that achievement may be no problem. The secret achievements seem to be all story-related, with the possible exceptions of “Next Level AI” and “Appreciation”, while the cumulative achievements like “Getting out of the slums” and “Suicidal” seem like they’ll just come naturally without really thinking about them. The Ascent is available to play today on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC.

The first step in being able to vote kick a player in Mordhau is to set-up your keybinding to bring up the console.  By default there is no setting for this out of the box.

Keybind for Console in Mordhau

To vote kick you will have to set a keybind to bring up the console.  This can be done in the following folder:  Steam\steamapps\common\Mordhau\Mordhau\Config. In the defaultinput.ini you can choose to bind the console key to whatever feels good for you.  A popular button to have the console commands accessible under the ~ key, but you can set it to whatever you want.

How to Vote kick in Mordhau

Now that you can access the console, you will then need to type the following: votekick “playername”.   There are some situations where a player might be using weird characters that make them harder to votekick.  You can also votekick via the player with their sever ID.  This number can be found next to their steamID64 and their steam name.  You can also use votekick “server ID” to vote to kick a player in Mordhau as well. A couple of things to keep in mind is that you have to type in the player’s exact name or the right Server ID number to execute the vote kick.  Otherwise, it will not work.

Announced at The Game Awards 2018, Hades is a hack-and-slash rouge-like dungeon crawler which tasks players with defying the god of death (Hades!) and fighting their way out of the underworld. Judging by the trailer, there will be plenty of action, and it appears the hero will have more than just Hades to contend with as he climbs his way to the surface. No formal release date was announced, but it’s already available as an Early Access title on the Epic Games Store and Supergiant Games already confirmed that the game will be getting regular updates with new features, events, characters, places, powers, and more.

So where do you find these healing items?  If you’ve played Battle Royale, you’ll know that it’s completely luck of the draw.  You can find them in buildings.  You can pick them up from enemies that you kill. You can heal in Blackout by equipping an item and then pressing the L1 button (PlayStation) or LB button (Xbox).  You’ll want to look at the bottom left of the screen to see which item that you have selected before you press the button though.  You can access your inventory in Blackout by pressing up on the options button (PS4) or Start button (Xbox One). You can access these items by hitting up on the D-Pad.  And then use the left and right d-pad to cycle through items.  The items in the middle are perks, the items on the right are equipment, and the healing items are on the right.  Once you land on the one you want just press square to equip.  You can then use the item by pressing L1 (PlayStation 4) or LB (Xbox One).

There are a few different options available to Blackout players.  To see them, you’re going to want to head into the character menu.  From there you can select from Blackout character models, popular zombies mode characters, as well as Specialists from the Black Ops 4 multiplayer mode. In the Blackout section, players can either select the default character.  From there, if you press the Triangle button (PlayStation) or Y Button (Xbox), you can further personalize this character from a couple of different generic male and female avatars.  As you can see, there are also “Icons” in this mode, but it’s currently unclear how to unlock Mason, Menendez, Reznov, or Woods. Unlocking these characters will likely be tied to some sort of performance goal, whether that be just playing the game, wins, kills, or other. As far as we’ve seen so far, character models do not impact anything in terms of gameplay or give you unique weapons as everything needs to be picked and found in-game. Head here for a full list of these different characters in Blackout and how to unlock them.

The blue lights will appear a short while after the round begins.  There are numerous locations that you can target for these weapons, just head towards the light.  In these areas you’ll find items like the Monkey Bomb, Acid Bomb, Zweihander, The Essex Model 07, and others like the all powerful Ray Gun.  All of these weapons are pretty powerful.  The Zweihander is a high capacity LMG, the Essex is a single shot rifle with a fast reload, and the Ray Gun shoots energy beams. Whether or not you find any of these weapons will pretty much depend on if you’ve uncovered the Zombie cache in the area. This cache looks like the Mystery Box in Call of Duty Zombies.  Just open the box and see what’s inside, it could be any of these weapons mentioned above or things like Level 3 Armor, Rocket Launchers, and other powerful weapons.  These weapons can certainly give you a leg up on the competition but, you’ll be fighting both AI controlled zombies and any other humans that are in the area.

At any time you can access these items by pressing the Options Button (PlayStation 4) or Start Button (Xbox One).  But what getting to them even quicker?  You can do that by pressing up on the d-pad.  All of the items you have in your inventory will be available here.  Once in the quick inventory menu, just use the left and right d-pads to scroll through your items.  On the far left are your health items, in the middle are perks, and on the right is equipment and any attachments that you have that will fit the current gun you are using. Once you’re on the perk or equipment just hold the Square Button (PlayStation 4) or the X Button (Xbox One) to use the item.  Perks last only a limited time, while different equipment will have different lifespans. Just remember, once you go into the quick menu you’ll have to press down on the d-pad to get out of the menu.  Not closing the quick menu will make it so that you cannot do things like exit vehicles or open doors.

If you’ve got the basics down in the new Call of Duty game mode it may be time to start branching out and trying to get some even better gear by fighting zombies. The bright beam of light on the Blackout Map indicates the location where zombies are spawning. If you head to the blue light in Blackout Battle Royale, you’ll find a horde of zombies waiting for you. The good news is that these zombies will drop gear when killed, but if a zombie installation is cleared you’ll get a Zombies Supply Cache as well. This cache looks like the wooden mystery box. So far, players have uncovered some pretty powerful gear in these Zombie caches, this includes Wonder Weapons from the popular cooperative mode, the Ray Gun, things like Monkey Bombs, or others. Heading to the blue light beam in Blackout Battle Royale is a solid strategy for high-end gear, but be on the lookout, other players will be there fighting for that gear as well. You very may well run into a player vs. player vs. enemy situation.

Like just about every other thing in Blackout, Gun Attachments can be switched in a couple of different ways.  If you’re picking up a new items off the ground and you can equip the attachment on your gun (not all attachments work with every gun) you will see that you have two prompts.  If you can equip the attachment you can do so with the Square Button (PlayStation 4) or X Button (Xbox One).  If you just want to save the attachment for later you can pick it up and put it in your inventory with the Triangle Button (PlayStation 4) or Y Button (Xbox One). At any time you can also access your main inventory menu by pressing the Options Button (PlayStation 4) or Start Button (Xbox One).  In this inventory screen you’ll be able to use the in-game cursor to hover over items and if they fit on your weapon you will see a blue square appear in the slot.  If they don’t, you will see a red X in the attachment slot. If you have attachments in your inventory that fit on your weapon, you can always switch to them from the quick menu as well.  These attachments are listed on the far right hand side of the quick inventory screen which is accessed by pressing up on the d-pad.  If you need to make room for other attachments or items, you can always drop the items as well.

The Ray Gun is one of the weapons that carries over from Call of Duty Zombies into the Blackout Mode, along with some others that you’ll uncover by focusing on the Zombie infested areas of the Blackout Map.

Where do you get the Ray Gun?

In Mystery Boxes or from killing zombies

Where are the Zombies in Blackout?

The blue light beams will point out zombie locations.

The zombies will be easy to find if you know where to look. Just look for the blue beams of light on the Blackout map. These will point you to locations of Mystery Box Zombies Caches which feature powerful weapons and items. The catch is you’re going to have to contend with Zombie enemies as well as any human enemies if you’re going to snag any of the Zombies Weapons in Blackout. The Ray Gun can drop as a random drop when killing A.I. zombies, or it can drop if you make it to the mystery box and open it up. The mystery box won’t always drop the Ray Gun, nor will a batch of zombies drop the item. It’s going to be completely random, but you will not find the Ray Gun in random drops around the map, you’ll need to pick it up in a zombies location or from a zombie cache. Once you’ve got the Ray Gun, it’s important to note that it does have very little ammunition. It’s also more of a short range weapon that can be devastating when close-up.

The easiest way to earn money fast in Forza Horizon 4 is by doing races.  Microsoft has given some people the option to take a shortcut with the “VIP Bonuses” that they sell separately from the game.  VIP’s get double credits for every single race. If you’re not looking to take the easy route, you can make the game harder and you’ll earn more cash for doing so.  The higher you place in any race or event, the more credits you’ll earn.  Ramping up the difficulty and turning off assists are the two best ways to get credits fast in Forza Horizon 4. From the main menu head into the settings option and then difficulty settings.  From here you change drivatar difficulty for an overall credits boost.  Then you can continue to turn assists off that will further increase the number of credits that you earn from each race.  There’s a handy section in the difficulty menus that will show you how many more credits you will earn for turning off a specific assist.  Be careful though, turning off things like traction control, stability control, and braking and steering assists can make it way more difficult to drive. Of course you can also leave your credit grinding in Forza Horizon 4 up to luck as well.  Any time that you do a Wheelspin or Super Wheelspin you’ll have an opportunity to earn credits in bundles.  Stash some wheelspins and there’s a good chance that you will walk away with 100’s of thousand of extra Horizon credits. If you’re more of a business-person, you can turn to the auction house to get fast money in Forza Horizon 4.  You can put cars that you earn in wheelspins up for sale on the auction house or you can design skins and couple them with vehicles to attract buyers.  Savvy auction house sellers can flip cars as well.  See something on the auction house that looks like a bargain?  Purchase it and then re-sell it to earn fast credits in Forza Horizon 4.

When doing manual shifting, the default buttons for changing gears are going to be the B Button and X Button.  To shift gears up you will press the B Button and to downshift you will press the X button.  These default controls can be changed with different controller layouts. Choosing manual shifting with clutch requires a little bit more skill as it’s not as simple as pressing one button to shift.  Using the Manual with clutch option you will need press another button to get a smooth shift.  This is the Left Bumper (LB) by default.  To shift with clutch you will quickly press the LB Button and then either the up or down shift button. It’s important to remember that when using manual shift you will also need to shift manually into reverse which is done by downshifting all the way to reverse. Shifting manually does take a little while to get used to but the benefits are many once you’ve got it down.

You can tweak things like tires, alignment, roll bars, springs, damping, areodynamics, braking, and differential.  All of these options will impact your car in different ways.

Tires

Tire tuning allows you to select the PSI for your front and rear tires.  Setting tire pressure higher increases speed and responsiveness of the car, but can also lead to sudden loss of grip.  Setting pressure lower can cause the tires to heat faster but can reduce responsiveness.

Gears

Gears in Forza Horizon can be adjusted to provide better top speeds or more acceleration.  These can be adjusted one by one, manually, or can be done through the Final Drive gear ratio which will basically allow you to decide whether you want a car with high top speed or high acceleration.

Alignment

Changing the alignment of a vehicle in Horizon 4 can be a little bit daunting as there are multiple options to deal with in Front and Rear Camber, Front and Rear Toe, and Front Caster.  Changing any of these options will have drastic impact on who your car performs on straight lines and in corners.  Negative camber will do things like reduce understeer and increase corning at the cost of having less control on straight aways.  Positive Camber on the other can reduce oversteer but also end up making the car unstable.

Antiroll Bars

Antiroll bars can give you extra stability when taking corners.  Antisway bars can be adjusted to be soft or stiff for both the front and rear of the car.  Decreasing stiffness will result in reducing oversteer.  Increasing stiffness can increase oversteer.

Springs

Adjusting springs have a bunch of different options as well.  You can make them soft or stiff in the front and rear, but you can also adjust the ride height of the vehicle here as well.

Aerodynamics

Downforce can be adjusted in Horizon 4 to help with more speed or give a car better handling in corners.  Adjustments can be made in the front and rear of the car.  Increasing downforce can keep your car more grounded, while heating tires more quickly and improving handling.  The downside is that too much downforce will cause excessive drag which can then decrease maximum speed, increase tire wear and fuel consumption.

Brakes

Braking will help your car stop faster with Braking Force adjustments that can be made to balance and pressure of the brakes themselves.  This can help with braking distance as well as understeer and oversteer for your car.  Adjusting breaking balance from front to rear will reduce car stability and give a bit of oversteer under heavy braking.  Moving from rear to front will increase stability with a big bump to understeer. You can access all of the tuning options from the upgrades section of the game’s menu.  Here a small tab labeled tuning will allow you to experiment with different options.  You can also find new community tunes or store different tunes to apply on vehicles.  As each tune works differently depending on the car, the best bet is to try out some different tuning options on the road to see how changes have impacted the vehicle.

Here you can browse through all of the different cars that are available.  Once you find the one you want to purchase, you can do so if you have the credits available to spend.  Once you select the car you want to purchase you will be greeted with a number of different design options from different creators in Forza Horizon 4.  You can either download unique designs or press the Y Button for different color options.  After selecting a design you will then be given a confirmation screen for your transaction. The other way to buy cars in Forza Horizon 4 is through the in-game auction house.  This is once again in the game’s home or horizon festival menus where you can search for cars, look at put different cars on a watchlist.  Auctions will run for a set period of time and will have both bid prices and buy out prices.  If you are willing to pay what the seller is asking without trying to be the highest bidder you can take down an auction with the auction buy out option. These two tools will be your best option for buying cars in Forza Horizon 4 within the game.

Forza Horizon 4 How to Drift

  • Press the Left Trigger to break when going around corners at high speed
  • Press the A button for E-brake to trigger manual drift
  • Steer through drift with the left thumbstick

The easiest way to drift in Forza Horizon 4 is by using a combination of steering and the emergency break.  In Forza Horizon 4, not all cars are created equally so some vehicles are going to be better than others when it comes to drifting.  For optimal results you’re going to want to be both a master of the controls and have a car that’s tuned for drifting. If you’re going for the absolute best score, you’re going to want to go into the game’s settings and turn off traction control.  It’s one of the biggest things that might be limiting your drifting ability in any car.  Second, for better drift results you’re also going to want to take a look at whether the car is rear wheel, front wheel, or all-wheel drive.  Rear wheel drive vehicles are much better for drifting than the others.  Lastly you’re going to want to be looking for cars that have high horsepower and low weight.  If you can’t find one you can always customize one in your garage to fit this bill. Digging even deeper into the tuning for a car can really help you with drifting.  Experimenting with different set-ups in terms of tires and suspension will also get you better results for drifts. The simple answer is that you can drift with any car in Forza Horizon 4 by either threading/tapping the Left Trigger at high speeds, or you can go into a manual drift by pressing the emergency brake as well.  Doing this while attempting to steer the car around a corner will allow you to earn drift points and complete challenges.

The basics of the post up is getting your back to the defense player.  This can be done by pressing the LT Button (Xbox) or L2 Button (PlayStation).  Once you’re posting up on a defensive player you can use the sticks to do a variety of different moves, this includes things like pivot moves, backdowns, drives, and spin moves. Using the pivot move while posting can be a great way to get position and can be done by pressing the Left Stick in any direction.  Release the stick to pivot in that direction.  If you want to spin around your opponent or drive to the hoop you can use the Right Stick in a counter-clockwise or clockwise motion to pull off these moves. If you want to do an agressive backdown move you can do so by pressing the RT Button (Xbox) or R2 Button (PlayStation).  You can do a dropstep in the post by using the Left Stick left or right towards the hoop and then tap the X Button (Xbox), or Square Button (PlayStation). There are also a number of post drives that allow you to drive to the key or drive the baseline.  These can both be done pretty much the same way by pressing RT (Xbox) or R2(PlayStation) flick the Left Stick Towards either the Key or Baseline and then release LT. Alongside all of these you can always use post fakes and post hops to get better position.  The Post Hop requires that you press the Left Stick left, right, or away from the hoop and then tap X.  The fake is just done by moving the Right Stick in any direction and then quickly releasing it. There are a bunch of post shots that can be taken with the shot stick as well.

First you’re going to need the My2K19 App for mobile devices.  Once you’re in the app, it’s going to give you the option to scan your face right away.  Just select this option and then you’ll be prompted to pick the service that you’re playing the game on, whether that’s Xbox Live, PlayStation Network, Nintendo Switch Online, or on Steam.  You’ll then need to login with that account to make the scanned face available to use. Now’s for the tricky part as you want to get a good picture for your player.  You’re going to use the tool within the app to take the picture but you’re going to need sufficient lighting and the ability to move your head back and forth so the app can scan your face.  Once it’s got a good picture it will spit out a model for you and then you can choose whether or not you want to use it or try again.  Sometimes it will also warn you that an error has occurred and that you should try again.  If that’s the case just try it again until you’ve got a good image. Once both you and the app are satisfied it will then upload the images to your profile.  Once they’ve been upload you can check out your character on your My Career game mode.  You may need to restart your game for the changes to be applied to your player in My Career or your avatar in the game. If you’re creating a brand new My Player, you’ll want to have the pictures ready before you do your head selection on your player.  At the bottom of the head selection screen which gives you a bunch of different pre-made heads to choose from you’ll see an option press X to scan your face.  At which point the game will look for saved data from the My 2K19 App.  If you’ve got face scan data uploaded, you’ll be able to switch the head by clicking on the face scan square in the menu.

If you’ve got a team mate that is moving towards the basket or near the basket, you can double tap Y button to throw an alley-oop in NBA 2K19.  It’s the same system as previous years so you’ll pretty much need to have a clear lane to throw and catch the ball to make it a success. There are some options as to where you are throwing the ball.  You’ll need to use the Left Stick in the direction of the player that you want to receive the pass.  Or, you can press the Left Stick towards the hoop to throw an alley oop to yourself. The best times to use an alley oop are in 2 on 1 fast break situations or situations where a player is cutting toward the basket without a defender near him.  Once you’ve got one of these situations, you can just double tap Y and use the Left Stick to direct the alley-oop.

This story mode features a number of different choices and possibilities that will have you landing on a number of different NBA teams at its conclusion.  You’ll also earn VC (Virtual Currency) to improve your player by completing different challenges.  It’s understandable that you might want to restart the Prelude in NBA 2K19, but unfortunately that is not possible. The Prelude cannot be restarted because the mode was designed to be played only once and it’s on a console level.  So your gamertag or PSN ID can only play through The Prelude one time. Deleting your save data does not allow you to restart The Prelude. Unfortunately, if you were coming looking for a way to restart it, it’s just not possible with the demo. Once you own NBA 2K19 you can replay this story based content by starting a new save.  With this new save you can then create an entirely new player and take them through the events of The Prelude again and perhaps get a different outcome the second time around.

To re-deploy the Wingsuit in Blackout, you’ll need to use the jump button and then the wingsuit will deploy automatically.  Doing this will allow you to jump from some structures without taking fall damage.  Not all buildings can be jumped from with the Wingsuit to break your fall. Press the X Button (PlayStation 4) or A Button (Xbox One) to first jump then the Wingsuit is deployed to base jump in-game.  Places where you can definitely use the Wingsuit to break your fall on a high jump include the Construction Site, Turbine, and other locations. You can also deploy the Wingsuit if you need to abandon the helicopter, but the item will automatically deploy if you choose to exit the helicopter when at high altitude.

Like most games, this can vary depending on the player.  Since the side missions and challenge tombs are relatively easy to stumble across while playing the game you may end up playing through them regardless and this can add to your playtime.  Our exact playtime with all of story and a few of the side activities was 13.5 hours.  If you do focus on just the story content, you could see yourself beating the game in less time than that. If you do a small amount of the side missions or challenge tombs, you could see your run time for the game clocking in at close to 13-15 hours.  If you’re trying to collect and see everything in Shadow of the Tomb Raider you could be looking at 20+ hours to see everything. It will come down to what you want to get out of Shadow of the Tomb Raider.  Our suggested optimal playthrough would be playing the main story path and checking out the side mission and challenge tomb content to see if its something that you like.

Squads and Duos will give you the option to Fill Squad in the option box below the map box.  Once you’ve got Solo (or whatever game mode you want) you can then go ahead and deploy.  At this point you’ll wingsuit down into a holding area while the rest of 80 players populate the lobby.  Once the room is filled you will see a brief countdown and then you must use your wingsuit to hit a destination and start collecting loot.

Each enemy has their own unique moves that you’ll need to look out for in the battle.  Rhino uses a charging and slamming attack, but he’s a little bit slower.  Scorpion will hurl poison projectiles at you while jumping from box to box before moving in for a multi-hit attack. The trick here is trying to isolate each character and take them out while avoiding the other character’s attack.  There isn’t a right way to do things here, but we found it much easier to take out Scorpion first because of his ability to hit you from long range. So assuming you start with Scorpion, you can use your web swinging ability to get close to him.  Once you’re close you can move in for an attack.  During this process you’re going to want to make sure that Rhino isn’t charging up for an attack while you aren’t looking.  You’re going to be wanting to use the circle button to dodge Scorpion’s attacks during this fight.  Use it often to keep moving out of the way.  Once his attacks are finished just keep hitting him until he’s down.  You’ll be able to get a few hits in before you’ll need to start dodging and swinging again. Once Scorpion is down, it’s pretty easy to take out Rhino.  The only way that you can damage Rhino is by stunning him with environmental objects.  You’ll need to use the Web pulling mechanic by pressing R1 and L1 on boxes in the area or cranes.  Look for the outlines on the ground as markers to stand and then entice Rhino to charge you.  Once he’s in the zone, you’ll want to use R1 and L1 to pull the box or crane on top of him to stun him.  Once you’ve got him stunned it’s time to pounce.  Get your hits in quick and then back-off to do it again. A couple of rounds of this and you’ll have both Scorpion and Rhino defeated.  If you need a visual guide for this fight, check out our playthrough of the boss fight below.

Like other tokens, Base Tokens are earned by infiltrating enemy bases which house Fisk Hideouts, Prisoner Camps, Sable Outposts, and Demon Hideouts.  What you’ll need to do is go to these  outposts and clear out the enemies.  These missions can be found on the open world map and are pink or red in color and will look like a barbed wire for Prisoner Camps, a demon mask for Demon Warehouses, an S for Sable Outpost, and a crown for Fisk Hideouts. Depending on the icon, you’ll kind of know what types of enemies you’ll be facing when you get there so you can plan accordingly.  Each of these missions has varying bonus objectives that can also be completed while doing the mission. Doing the Base Missions in Spider-Man is largely focused on the combat aspects of the game.  So long as you clear out the base you will earn the three tokens for doing so.  You can do this in any way you see fit, but pay attention to the bonus objectives if you want other rewards.  You can see how many Base Tokens you currently have by looking at the bottom left hand of the map screen next to the pink flag icon. Once you’ve earned your tokens you can then use them to upgrade gadgets, suit powers, and unlock new suits to use.
