With the launch of Overwatch Season 2, Sierra has entered the game as the title's 51st character. But if the early reaction to Sierra's introduction is any indication, she may need to be nerfed soon because her ultimate attack can cause massive amounts of damage to opposing players.

When Sierra has 1800 points, her ultimate can fire a drone that drops 23 bombs, each dealing 180 damage. The bombs' impact can be felt up to three meters away, and there's not much players with slower characters can do to avoid being caught in the lethal aftermath.

"I love the drone grapple, [but] her [ultimate] is ridiculous and literally needs to be nerfed today," .wrote a player on Reddit. "Also not a fan of every 6 second aimbot. Love her character design though."

As Grand Theft Auto 6's November 19 launch date looms in the distance, the games industry is bending over backwards to get out of its way. Per Dead Space creator and Callisto Protocol director Glen Schofield, Rockstar's plans to delay the game (which was pushed back from a May 2026 release date last year) have upended the launch plans of many other studios, from those working on indie games to other AAA titles.

"With all this money that came in [during the pandemic], you now have too many AAA games [coming out] at Christmas, as opposed to a few plus something from Nintendo," Schofield said in a recent interview with gamesindustry.biz. "There are no new people in the market, so if there are too many games out at once, they're gonna fail. And so everyone tries to get out of the blast radius of any big game."

Schofield definitely has a point, although the delay has certainly worked in the favor of other games, with Lego Batman: The Legacy of the Dark Knight production director Jonathan Smith saying the team at TT Games is "really glad to have some space" to show off the game without being overshadowed by a juggernaut like GTA 6. But for studios currently working on a project slated for an end-of-year release, this is a nightmare. Even Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has said he can't imagine any adult choosing not to play GTA 6.

Xbox boss Matty Booty has commented on the upcoming PC/console hybrid device currently in the works under the codename Project Helix. Appearing on the newest Xbox podcast, Booty--who was recently promoted to chief content officer at Xbox--said Microsoft stands apart from other "big publishers" because the company has both hardware and software divisions, and this is helping make Project Helix better.

It's true that not every publisher has hardware and software divisions, but Microsoft's biggest competitors--Sony and Nintendo--do. In any event, Booty said Xbox's hardware and software teams got involved with Project Helix "early on" to map out the vision and technical specs for Helix.

"We're there every step of the way as these things come along, so it's an exciting time. As we've done with many consoles before, those two teams will work hand-in-hand as we get that together," he said. "As the hardware comes online, our teams will be the first to get involved. There's already a lot of that already happening."

An elderly woman has been confirmed OK after police were called to her home for a welfare check, only to find her playing video games--and trying to break a personal record.

News 5 Cleveland reports that authorities were dispatched to the woman's home on April 9 after she did not answer a call from an automated welfare-check system. This was part of the city's use of the "Confirm OK" system, whereby people can agree to get calls for welfare checks.

The woman did not answer these calls, or a call from a police dispatcher. Authorities then called the woman's daughter to confirm that her mother should have been home at the time. Police then went to the home for a wellness check and initially "became more alarmed" because the woman did not answer their knock.

World of Warcraft: Midnight Season 1's Mythic+ dungeons will soon offer even more rewards for those looking to continue pushing higher and higher keys.

Mythic+ dungeons are one of the main endgame activities in Blizzard's MMORPG, allowing players to tackle increasingly difficult versions of dungeons to earn rewards on par with the game's most difficult raiding content. Usually, the goal of earning all of the season's Mythic+ achievements and claiming special seasonal rewards is one that lasts for weeks or months into a season.

That's not exactly the case in Midnight Season 1. This season's Mythic+ dungeons have been far easier than normal, with WoW-focused enthusiast site Icy Veins even calling it the easiest Mythic+ season ever (and offering up plenty of data from Raider.IO to support the point). More keys are being completed at a higher difficulty than in any previous Mythic+ season, meaning many players within the season's first two weeks have already claimed all the rewards for reaching certain Mythic+ rating thresholds.

Combat in Windrose focuses on two main weapons: swords and guns. During your travels, you'll stumble across different variations of these weapons, such as halberds, clubs, muskets, blunderbusses, etc., but your strategy with them remains largely the same throughout the game. While melee weapons require no additional items to use, guns are another story. You'll need both bullets and gunpowder to make your guns work in Windrose, and gunpowder is much more difficult to come by.

Gunpowder can be looted and crafted, but you'll find one of those methods is far simpler than the other. We'll explain more about how to get gunpowder in the guide below.

Where to get Gunpowder in Windrose

While gunpowder can be crafted, you'll have a much easier time looting it in the first several hours of Windrose. Crafting gunpowder requires advanced gear, a high level, and a large chunk of the map to be explored, so it's best to learn how to loot it for the early game.
