If you enjoy exploring Spaceport in Arc Raiders, we have a quest for you. And if you've already worked through most of the game's initial questline, you've certainly been to the Rocket Assembly before. In the Worth Your Salt quest, you'll be headed there once again--but this time you'll be in search of the Battery Prototype.

Unlike some quests, you won't need to extract with anything in your possession to complete the Worth Your Salt quest. With that in mind, you can come well-equipped or with a simple free loadout, depending on your preferences. If you have aggressive lobbies, we'd recommend the latter to avoid any unnecessary loss of resources if you get in an unexpected firefight.

When you're ready to tackle Worth Your Salt, follow the steps below.

With the Decima Engine powering it, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach was one of the best-looking games of 2025 on PS5 consoles. PC gamers will get to see that visual splendour for themselves soon, as the game launches for that platform in March, and you can see if your PC is capable of smoothly rendering all of those post-apocalyptic frames thanks to the release of the official PC specs.

Nixxes is once again handling the PC port, and the studio says it's aiming for the game to run on a wide variety of systems and hardware configurations. The good news is that you won't have to worry too much about RAM, as 16GB of memory will be enough to run the game at its highest settings. Gamers have been hit hard lately with increasing prices for RAM modules, as rapid investment in AI has seen prices for memory skyrocket, and there's no sign that this trend will reverse anytime soon.

For anyone who uses handheld gaming PCs, Nixxes says it has also added a "Portable" preset designed specially for those devices. The PC version of Death Stranding 2 will also support upscaling technologies like Nvidia DLSS 4, AMD FSR 4, and Intel XESS 2, as well as the "Progressive Image Compositor" developed by Guerrilla for its Decima engine. PICO is the same upscaling technology that's used for Death Stranding 2 on PS5, can be used with all supported graphics cards, and it can be combined with the various options for frame generation offered in the game.

Heading to Stella Montis in Arc Raiders is always a risky endeavor due to potentially hostile raiders roaming the tight corridors within. This is especially true when visiting the lobby, which is exactly where you're headed if you're working on the Stable Housing quest. But you've got to do what you've got to do, so that's why we're here to help.

Asha Sharma was a name the gaming industry was unfamiliar with a week ago, but now, she's in charge of Xbox. This has led to questions about Sharma's background in AI and whether she uses AI on social media. In fact, even Xbox founder Seamus Blackley has concerns and advice for the new Xbox CEO. But there's one thing we do know: Sharma has a black belt in taekwando.

The Wall Street Journal interviewed Sharma in late 2023 about her "ridiculously busy week" as COO of Instacart at that time. Sharma conveys a workaholic personality, but she also "has a second-degree black belt in taekwondo," starting the martial art as a kid. In addition, Sharma said at the time she began boxing "after five years of dabbling." Needless to say, it's likely she can kick a lot of our butts.

When not working or exercising, Sharma shared that she enjoyed "playing board and card games and watching sports" with her family and friends. Though "most important, I identify as a partner and as a mom," she said.

The Zombies game mode in the Call of Duty series has become a phenomenon of its own since it first shambled into the franchise in 2008, practically begging for its own standalone game. After a report claimed that a separate Call of Duty Zombies title is in the works, Activision issued a rare public denial on social media.

Dexerto reported on a purported leak by X user TheGhostOfHope, who is described as a "Call of Duty Leaker/Insider" in their bio. The leaker claimed that a potential delay for the next-generation Xbox console would throw off marketing plans for the next Call of Duty game, ostensibly a fourth Modern Warfare title. According to the leak, this led to the idea of two Call of Duty titles launching with the new Xbox, one being a standalone Zombies game.

Replying to a Dexerto X post sharing the outlet's report, the official Call of Duty account bluntly stated: "The rumor factory working overtime. This ain't it."

Asha Sharma, the new Microsoft Gaming CEO, has commented again on her vision for the Xbox brand going forward. Posting on social media, Sharma also reacted to what people have had to say about her gamer cred.

Sharma recently shared her Gamertag online, and people had a lot of things to say about that. She clarified that the account was created somewhat recently so she could "learn and understand" the world of gaming. "I don't pretend to be the best gamer and even though I'm playing, that's still not my goal," she said.

Instead, Sharma said she is focusing on making "Xbox the best place to play," with a promise of helping Xbox to "return to our roots." She added that she wants to "ship great things and become stronger for the future." She also pushed back yet again on the claim that AI is writing her posts. "Yes, I'm writing my own posts," she wrote.

Daniel Vavra, an industry veteran known for the Mafia and Kingdom Come franchises, has announced he is changing roles at his company, Warhorse Studios, and will now focus on helping to make a Kingdom Come film.

Following Czech media reports, Vavra himself confirmed that the news is true. He jokingly added that the "gaming world is finally saved from my controversies." That is likely a reference to Vavra's comments in the past about GamerGate and "historical accuracy" in video games with respect to depictions of diversity. More recently, Vavra spoke enthusiastically about generative AI, which led to further controversy.

Warhorse CEO Martin Frývaldský told CzechCrunch that Vavra "made three games that were a global success; he has been wanting to try something different for a long time."

Resident Evil Requiem's PC system requirements have been revealed ahead of the game's release on February 27. It's good news for anyone gaming on an older rig, as the survival horror's recommended specs are relatively low-end--meaning no expensive upgrades in an era of ballooning hardware prices.

In what seems to be an ongoing trend for AAA titles on PC, both Resident Evil Requiem's minimum and recommended specs should be pretty easy for most PC gamers to meet.

Looking at the graphics card, generally the most demanding part of a PC build, Requiem's minimum specs list the GeForce GTX 1660 or Radeon RX 5500 XT, both lower-end cards that launched over six years ago. The recommended specs list the GeForce RTX 2060 Super, another 2019 card, or the Radeon RX 6600. Even if your PC hasn't been upgraded in a while, buying an older graphics card to meet these specs won't require a huge investment.
