It's not often that a quest in Arc Raiders sends you topside with an explicit goal of downing one of the game's biggest foes, but you'd best be prepared when it does. In the case of Settled in Full, you'll be going up against a dangerous Bastion so that you can take a Bastion Cell for its corpse.

If you're heading into fight against a Bastion with the goal of obtaining a Bastion Cell, we highly recommend you bring an augment with a safe pocket. It'd be a shame to waste your time and resources getting the cell only to lose it in a bad turn of events.

When you're ready to take down a Bastion for Settled in Full, check the tips below.

Arc Raiders is overflowing with challenging enemies to take down, and some quests will send you out to take materials from them. This is what the Test Case quest from Apollo is all about, tasking you with obtaining a Hornet Driver, Fireball Burner, and Firefly Burner.

Though completing the tasks in Test Case is a straightforward affair, you'll need to be prepared with appropriate shields and ammo, as some of these enemies can be a little irritating at times--especially if they catch you out in the open. Additionally, we'd recommend bringing an augment with a safe pocket or three so you can store the requested materials there, meaning you won't lose them in the event of your death.

When you're ready to find the materials for the Test Case quest, follow the steps below.

The third and final raid of World of Warcraft: Midnight's first season is set to go live March 31, but that didn't stop a group of clever players from trying and technically succeeding to kill its ultimate boss early. Spoilers for Midnight's story ahead.

The March on Quel'Danas raid sees players looking to take down the corrupted dark nauru L'ura, who after the events of the Voidspire raid, has been used by Xal'atath to transform the Sunwell into the ominous sounding Darkwell.

Since the isle of Quel'Danas and the new Darkwell aren't exclusively instanced (they are simply part of the map), players who go to investigate the big shadowy laser beam in the sky can, in theory, see L'ura hovering above the corrupted Sunwell. I say in theory, because a debuff called Overwhelming Oblivion surrounding the Darkwell is intended to make sure players don't ever get close, dealing 45% of a player's total HP per second.

Later quests in Arc Raiders tend to have multiple steps, and Dust on the Wires is one of the most substantial. Though it's a fairly easy quest to complete, you'll want to be prepared for a good bit of running around on Spaceport.

Dust on the Wires contains an item you'll need to extract back to Speranza with, so we'd strongly recommend that you bring an augment sporting a safe pocket to ensure you can safely get it home even if you're killed.

When you're ready to complete Dust on the Wires, follow the steps below.

The latest patch for Bungie's new extraction shooter, Marathon, is here--and with it, Bungie is making its stance on movement exploits clear.

Patch 1.0.5.2 includes a fix for a movement exploit that allowed Thief players to cancel her slide animation by pulling out her Grapple Device, while still retaining momentum. (An example of the exploit in action can be seen here.)

In the 1.0.5.2 patch notes, Bungie explained why exploits like these aren't something the studio wants to encourage.

April Fools' Day is upon us, and once again, it's the most skeptical time of the year. You can't believe anything that you see or hear on this particular day, as the gaming industry has a longstanding tradition of pulling "got 'em" pranks on people. Sure, some people might be allergic to fun on April Fools' Day, but the intention here is to have a laugh and enjoy the silliness that comes with this celebration of mischief, lies, and trickery.

So far, it looks like a few games have jumped the gun and gone live with their gags. PUBG: Battlegrounds is going all-in on the event with a limited-time April Fools' mode, and Pokemon Pokopia is referencing one of our favorite Family Guy jokes. We'll be keeping an eye on everything for tomorrow and will update this post with all the new gags from publishers and developers, so be sure to bookmark this page. If you're looking to do some more reading on the subject matter, you can also check out our feature on the best April Fools' Day gaming jokes of all time.

Winning a chicken dinner in PUBG: Battlegrounds is no easy feat, as it requires skill, accuracy, patience, and luck--and who has time for that? Instead, you can cheese your way to victory with a new April Fool's Day limited-time mode in the battle royale game and disguise yourself as a prop in the game. Each "Prop Hunt" match features 12 players divided into three Hunters and nine Props, and matches are designed to be a lighthearted alternative to PUBG's traditional combat-heavy gameplay.

Microsoft is adding a new Xbox Game Pass perk in the form of special bonuses for a number of free-to-play titles from World of Tanks studio Wargaming.

Game Pass subscribers for any tier of the membership program will be able to get in-game perks for titles like World of Warships, World of Warships: Legends, World of Tanks: Modern Armor, and World of Tanks Blitz. The upcoming World of Tanks: Heat will also get the new Game Pass perks.

The Game Pass bonuses are coming over the next 12 months, Microsoft said, and they begin with a range of perks for World of Warships across Xbox and PC on April 9. You can see a rundown of the perks for World of Warships below, as shared by Microsoft.

In the Clamoring for Attention quest in Arc Raiders, Tian Wen seems to think that some well-timed distractions can assist in pulling ARC out of position. She wants you to test this theory around Blue Gate, so be prepared to make some noise.

For this quest, you'll need to bring a Battery and Wire x3 into the match with you to make some repairs. Alternatively, you can find these items in the match, but that seems like an unnecessary hassle if you have some in your stash already.

When you're ready to set off to Blue Gate to complete the Clamoring for Attention quest, we've got you covered below.

Microsoft's upcoming Halo game, Halo: Campaign Evolved, has no in-game shop. Halo Studios community director Brian Jarrard confirmed this on social media.

"There is no shop," he wrote.

Jarrard said this in response to a fan who was wondering if the fact that Halo: Campaign Evolved will have a special skin for people who buy soda meant there would be an in-game shop. There is no in-game shop, so it seems people will need to drink soda to get the "Fantastic Spartan Armor," which makes Master Chief look like a can of Fanta. That is currently the only known way.

While Resident Evil Requiem has had a monopoly on survival-horror talk since it launched, fans of old-school Resident Evil might want to check out Ground Zero. Developer Malformation Games has announced an April 16 release date for the retro-inspired survival horror game, and it'll be launching for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.

Set in South Korea, Ground Zero takes place two months after a devastating meteor impact. An elite Korean operative, Seo-Yeon, and her Canadian partner are sent to investigate the city of Busan, and they quickly discover that strange growths have infested the metropolis and hordes of mutant survivors prowl the streets. It's up to players to discover the truth of what really hit Busan by shooting, stabbing, and roundhouse-kicking their way through danger.

If you're getting PS1 vibes from Ground Zero, that's by design. A love letter to classic PS1-era survival horror games, Ground Zero features pre-rendered backgrounds and fixed camera angles alongside its nostalgic graphics, as well as puzzles, custom difficulty modifiers, and even tank controls for an extra layer of nostalgia. Combat is inevitable, but players who can fight back with skill will be rewarded with more Genome Points, which can be traded for powerful gear upgrades.

If you like when Arc Raiders sends you on quests to collect items for Tian Wen, then Outstanding Balance is right up your alley. This time, you'll be heading to Blue Gate to track down Dodger's Stash for Speranza's favorite gun-shop owner. Be prepared to visit more than one spot, though.

Dodger's Stash will need to be brought back to Tian Wen, meaning you'll have to extract with it in your inventory. With this in mind, we highly recommend bringing an augment that offers a safe pocket.

When you're ready to tackle Outstanding Balance, follow the steps below.
