Quests in Arc Raiders often send you searching for various items across its expansive maps, and Broken Monument is no different. In this quest, you'll need to round up a ration, compass, and tape to take back to Speranza. However, if you've visited the Scrapyard where these items are located but are still having trouble rounding them up, you're not alone. We'll tell you where to find the items below so that you can complete the Broken Monument quest.

Before setting off on this journey, though, be aware that you need to extract with the items that you find during the quest. As such, you'll want to come prepared to fight your way out if necessary. Bring good guns with you, and maybe even equip a Looting Mk. 3 augment if you have one, as it will grant you three safe pockets. If you place the items in your safe pockets, you won't lose them if you end up killed during the raid.

Let's dive in and find the items you need to finish the Broken Monument quest in Arc Raiders.

AI-controlled bots have become a significant part of online multiplayer games. You can find them in titles like Fortnite, Mecha Break, Marvel Rivals, and, most recently, Battlefield 6. Players have made it clear that facing too many bots often isn’t fun--and not the reason they play multiplayer games in the first place. A Battlefield 6 producer has now responded to that feedback.

“Bots enter the game on regular playlists only under these conditions: Players kickstart a lobby for a playlist, and the pre-round takes longer than X minutes (I believe three minutes),” said Battlefield lead producer David Sirland in a post. “At that point, the bots fill the server to the necessary limit to start the game.”

The alternative to doing this, would be full on waiting (possibly forever) to play on the playlist of your choice in regions with low population.
but to fill a server (the first in the region) - you need to stay with the bots.
if you keep leaving because: 1: you see bots

— David Sirland (@tiggr_) November 5, 2025

Sirland’s thread of posts explores why bots are needed at all in a game that has sold over 10 million copies. Once the set amount of time passes, players can either play with the bots or wait for more players to join. Every time a player enters, a bot will leave.

Battlefield 6 has mostly been a hit since its launch early in October, but chief among its players' concerns have been its arduous challenges. Fortunately, Battlefield Studios has been tracking the conversations regarding these tasks, as well as weapon- and mode-specific assignments, and is rolling out changes to streamline them.

Announced on November 5, Battlefield 6 is receiving a significant overhaul to challenges, one which drastically shortens the vast majority of their requirements to "make them more achievable within a reasonable session length."

As an example, Battlefield Studios cites how it has reduced the amount of required revives for a Support class challenge from 200 to 60. An example of of a streamlined weapon assignment showed that players would only need to inflict 3,000 damage as opposed to the previous requirement of 10,000 damage.

The Nintendo Switch 2 has sold more than 10 million units through September 30, representing the most successful launch of a new platform in Nintendo's history after the first four months. Given this, it's little surprise that Nintendo also disclosed in a recent earnings announcement that demand for the Switch 2 exceeded Nintendo's internal expectations.

The company apologized to people who were not able to get a Switch 2 right away due to shortages in some regions. This isn't likely a reference to the US, as the Switch 2 has been readily available for purchase. But shortages are annoying and frustrating for anyone who had to endure them, and Nintendo promised it's making efforts to meet the demand going forward.

"The system is already in the hands of many consumers worldwide, and we believe we are maintaining positive momentum heading into its first holiday season," Nintendo said. "However, as we mentioned prior to launch, demand has exceeded our expectations in some regions, leading to ongoing product shortages. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. We will continue to strive to meet the strong demand by ensuring a stable supply of hardware."

Mission: Impossible 6-Movie Collection (4K Blu-ray & Blu-ray)

$35.38 (was $84)

See at Amazon

Mission: Impossible's 6-Movie Collection on 4K Blu-ray is discounted to such a low price that it's nearly impossible to imagine it will remain in stock for long. Fans of the Tom Cruise action franchise can snag the first six movies on 4K and Blu-ray for only $35.38 (was $84). This deal actually matches the current price for the standard Blu-ray box set, and it's easily the best offer we've seen on the 4K set.

To complete your Mission: Impossible collection, you'll need to grab Dead Reckoning and The Final Reckoning. The latter just released on 4K Blu-ray in October, and its predecessor received a new Steelbook Edition in August. The Final Reckoning's Steelbook Edition is on sale for $34.49 and Dead Reckoning's Steelbook is $24.49.

See Mission Impossible Series at Amazon Mission: Impossible 6-Movie Collection (4K Blu-ray & Blu-ray) $35.38 (was $84)

Mission: Impossible 6-Movie Collection includes the following films on 4K Blu-ray and 1080p Blu-ray.

• Mission: Impossible
• Mission: Impossible 2
• Mission: Impossible 3
• Mission: Impossible: Ghost Protocol
• Mission: Impossible: Rogue Nation
• Mission: Impossible: Fallout

The 4K discs support Dolby Vision and HDR10. The first three movies offer Dolby TrueHD 5.1 surround sound. Ghost Protocol, Rogue Nation, and Fallout have Dolby Atmos and Dolby TrueHD 7.1 surround sound.

See at Amazon Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning Steelbook Edition (4K Blu-ray) $34.49 (was $55)

Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning's Limited Edition Steelbook has exclusive artwork featuring Ethan Hunt dangling from a biplane like in the movie. The IMF agent extraordinaire is also showcased running for his life, as he often needs to do.

This edition includes native 4K and 1080p Blu-ray discs as well as a digital copy of film. The 4K disc supports Dolby Vision and HDR10. On the audio side, you can hear all of the explosions, gunfire, and incredible theme music in surround sound with immersive Dolby Atmos and Dolby TrueHD 7.1. Special features include an audio commentary with Tom Cruise and director Christopher McQuarrie, behind-the-scenes featurettes showing off the wild stunts that Cruise rather famously performs instead of using a stunt double, and more.

A standard 4K Blu-ray edition with the same content and a regular case released the same day. The Final Reckoning also launched on DVD, but but it didn't receive a standard 1080p Blu-ray release. Both 4K versions include 1080p Blu-ray discs.

Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning at Amazon:

• 4K Steelbook -- $34.49 ($55)
• 4K Blu-ray -- $24.49 ($36)
• DVD -- $19.49
• Digital -- $10 ($20)

Here's a list of notable bonus features for The Final Reckoning's 4K Blu-ray release:

• Audio Commentary with Tom Cruise and Christopher McQuarrie
• Taking Flight featurette
• Filming the Biplane Sequence

• Inside the Underwater Stunt
• To the North - On Location in Svalbard
• Additional Commentaries

See at Amazon See at Walmart Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Limited Edition Steelbook Reprint (4K Blu-ray) $24.49 (was $31)

Dead Reckoning's Limited Edition Steelbook reprint launched August 5 for $31, but you can snag a copy for only $24.49. It's nice that fans who missed out on this one the first time can pair it with The Final Reckoning.

The three-disc set includes 4K and 1080p versions of the film as well as a voucher for the digital edition. The 4K disc has Dolby Vision and HDR10, and surround sound options include Dolby Atmos and Dolby TrueHD 7.1. For bonuses, there's an audio commentary from director Christopher McQuarrie and editor Eddie Hamilton as well as 30 minutes of behind-the-scenes footage showcasing stunts and filming locations.

You should watch all of the Mission: Impossible movies in order regardless, but you absolutely need to watch Dead Reckoning before Final Reckoning. It's essentially one big movie split into two parts. In fact, Dead Reckoning originally released with the subtitle "Part One" and The Final Reckoning was Dead Reckoning: Part Two before Paramount changed the name.

All eight films in the Mission: Impossible franchise have 4K Blu-ray editions with steelbook cases. Unfortunately, the matching Steelbook Editions for three of the movies are sold out at the moment. You can get Steelbook Editions of the first movie, Ghost Protocol, and Rogue Nation for around $20 each.

Mission: Impossible 4K Steelbook Editions

• Mission: Impossible Steelbook -- $21 ($31)
• Mission: Impossible 2 Steelbook -- Sold out
• Mission: Impossible 3 Steelbook -- Sold out

• Mission: Impossible - Fallout Steelbook -- Sold out
• Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Steelbook -- $24.49 ($30)
• Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning Steelbook -- $34.49 ($45)

With the deal on the box set, it doesn't make sense to buy the first six films individually, as they are around $20 each on 4K Blu-ray. Dead Reckoning's standard edition is only a few bucks less than the new Steelbook Edition. For The Final Reckoning, though, you can save $10 compared to the Steelbook Edition.

Mission: Impossible 4K Standard Editions

In addition to the individual 4K Blu-ray Steelbooks and standard editions, there are multiple Mission: Impossible Blu-ray box sets. We're guessing a complete series collection will release at some point, but for now the biggest set features the first six movies. You could buy The Final Reckoning and Dead Reckoning Steelbooks and get the rest of the series in the Mission: Impossible 6-Movie Collection. The 4K Blu-ray edition is available for $70 (was $84). This box set also includes standard Blu-ray editions of each film. Alternatively, you can buy the standard Blu-ray box set for $37 (was $60). If you opt for standard Blu-ray, it's worth considering the Mission: Impossible 5-Movie Collection instead, as it's only $15.73.

New images for a "Cross-Buy" system have been spotted on the PlayStation Store, sparking speculation that Sony might be looking to introduce cross-platform purchasing of some kind in the future. The graphics for this were spotted online by Amethxst on X and corroborated by reliable leaker Dealabs.

According to Dealabs, the Cross-Buy tags were added by Sony all the way back in June 2025, but what the company's definition of this term could be is unknown. For comparison, Microsoft offers a cross-buy feature where Xbox games can be played on PC, (sometimes) through cloud streaming, or anything else that it considers to be an Xbox--like the ROG Ally X handheld.

Could Sony offer a similar deal, considering that it has made more of its first-party games available on PC after a period of exclusivity on PS5? That's unknown, but it is worth pointing out that Sony previously used Cross-Buy as a term for games sold during the PS Vita handheld era. If PS3 or PS4 owners purchased certain games back then, they'd get the PS Vita for free and vice versa, allowing them access to one game over multiple platforms. The service was eventually phased out, but at the time, it was a major draw for PS Vita owners.

The legal battle between Google and Epic Games goes back to 2020, when the former pulled Fortnite from the Play Store over billing disputes. Since then, the two tech titans have decked it out in various courtrooms. But now, the two sides have apparently reached a settlement, pending the approval of the court.

Google's president of Android ecosystem, Sameer Samat, shared the announcement online and touted "a proposed set of changes to Android and Google Play that focus on expanding developer choice and flexibility, lowering fees, and encouraging more competition all while keeping users safe."

Exciting news! Together with Epic Games we have filed a proposed set of changes to Android and Google Play that focus on expanding developer choice and flexibility, lowering fees, and encouraging more competition all while keeping users safe. If approved, this would resolve our…

Epic Games founder Tim Sweeney quickly added a message of his own about the settlement. Sweeney called it "a comprehensive solution," before reminding everyone that Epic's ongoing battle with Apple is far from over. He said Google's actions stand "in contrast to Apple's model of blocking all competing stores and leaving payments as the only vector for competition."

Greasing Her Palms is a relatively early quest that you can complete in Arc Raiders. It's given to you by Celeste and requires you to visit three separate maps: Dam Battlegrounds, Spaceport, and Buried City. The quest tasks you with getting to three different areas on each of these maps, and you'll need to navigate some buildings on the maps to complete each step.

Keep reading below to see a quick guide on how to complete Greasing Her Palms in Arc Raiders.

Starting Greasing Her Palms in Arc Raiders

When Celeste gives you the Greasing Her Palms quest, you'll also receive an item called the Dam Surveillance Key. This should automatically be given to you and placed in your inventory. If you look in your inventory and you don't see the Dam Surveillance Key, then it's likely that you accidentally went into a drop with it and then lost it at some point.

World of Warcraft's Midnight expansion is making major changes to simplify classes and eliminate the need for player-made mods, but it's not because a console version is in the works.

That's according to WoW senior game director Ion Hazzikostas in a new interview with the Unshackled Fury podcast, where Hazzikostas tried to put recent rumors about a console port to bed.

"To be fully transparent, there's no reason for us to hide anything about this," Hazzikostas said. "If we were actively working towards bringing WoW to consoles, or a bunch of other platforms, we'd be saying, 'We're actively working towards it, we know we have a lot of work to do but it's a place where we want to land.'"

We're just a few months shy of Valve's Steam Deck turning four years old, but the Steam owner doesn't look like it's going to wind down support any time soon. In fact, it might be listening to feedback more than ever, as one of the most requested features for the handheld gaming PC is finally being added soon.

One of the weirdest quirks with the Steam Deck is the requirement to have the handheld's display on to download games. You weren't able to put the PC into sleep mode to conserve battery while downloading a new game, which is especially irritating for large downloads and those using the burn-in prone Steam Deck OLED. Valve seemingly has finally acknowledged that this is silly, and has introduced the ability to download games in a new power-saving mode in a new Steam Deck update.

Available in preview before going live to all Steam Deck users, the new mode is automatically enabled when you plug your handheld into power. While a game is downloading, the screen will automatically turn off and continue in the background, with a new information screen showing progress being displayed if you move the handheld briefly or press a button.

Other features of the Nintendo Store app include seeing the latest news from the company and viewing My Nintendo rewards. However, none of the actual purchases happen in-app, as you'll be taken to the website page to actually buy a Switch game or Switch 2 upgrade pack, for instance.

PlayStation Portal owners can now stream their games from the cloud, Sony has announced. After rolling out a beta version last year, the updated version of Cloud Streaming will allow PS Plus Premium members to play a massively expanded selection of games on the device, and it won't require them to connect to a PS5 console through Remote Play.

At the time of writing, there are 2,845 games that support PS Portal Cloud Streaming. This includes several of Sony's biggest first-party titles like Ghost of Yotei and Astro Bot, alongside third-party titles like Borderlands 4 and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Games from the PS Plus Game Catalog and Classics Catalog are compatible as well, and Sony has introduced a new home screen that features three tabs to help distinguish between the various modes: Remote Play, Cloud Streaming, and Search.

Remote Play requires a PS5 console paired to a PS Portal so that installed games can be streamed directly from the system onto the handheld. This mode doesn't require a PS Plus Premium membership, but Cloud Streaming does. The search option will let users look up any game that supports Cloud Streaming.

A new trailer for Five Nights at Freddy's 2 has arrived, and it's pretty spooky. The sequel to the 2023 film based on the popular game takes place one year after the events of the first movie.

"Former security guard Mike (Josh Hutcherson) and police officer Vanessa (Elizabeth Lail) have kept the truth from Mike's 11-year-old sister, Abby (Piper Rubio), concerning the fate of her animatronic friends," reads a line from the film's description. "But when Abby sneaks out to reconnect with Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy, it will set into motion a terrifying series of events, revealing dark secrets about the true origin of Freddy's, and unleashing a long-forgotten horror hidden away for decades."
