Arc Raiders Marked For Death Quest Guide

Game News - Wed, 11/05/2025 - 09:22

Tian Wen seems to always want to send you out to find a cache in Arc Raiders, and his quest Marked for Death is no different. This time around, you're asked to visit the Buried City and round up a cache at the Su Durante Warehouses point of interest. Though the quest is straightforward overall, it can be easy to overlook exactly where you need to be checking to find this cache. So, we've put together a guide to show you where to go to find the cache at the Su Durante Warehouses.

Where to find the cache at the Su Durante Warehouses in Arc Raiders

Completing the Marked for Death quest doesn't require you to extract from Buried City, so if you're worried that you might not make it out alive, it's best that you enter the raid using a free loadout. This ensures you won't lose any hard-earned resources you've been saving up.

Either way you decide to go about raiding for this quest, though, you'll need to find the Su Durante Warehouses. This point of interest is located in the upper left corner of the Buried City. And while it looks out of the way, you should be prepared to meet other raiders in the area who may also be looking for Tian Wen's cache. Don't let your guard down.

Ball X Pit Review - Off The Wall

Games Reviews - Wed, 11/05/2025 - 07:21

Nearly 50 years ago, Atari published Breakout, a spin on the ball-bouncing gameplay of Pong where your opponent wasn't another player but rather an increasingly dense wall of bricks slowly dropping down towards you. Arkanoid, released not long after, expanded on its foundations, giving players more ways to play through the introduction of upgrades to your paddle, spawning additional balls, and more.

These are two games that Ball x Pit designer Kenny Sun was clearly inspired by, but not the two that this modern interpretation solely borrows from. Instead, Ball x Pit is an intoxicating mash-up that includes elements of Vampire Survivors, numerous roguelites, and town-management wrapped up in an engaging adventure down a bottomless pit that is chaotic and engaging, but also slightly messy in its execution.

Like its inspirations, Ball x Pit is easy to understand. You play as one of a variety of characters, each with their own abilities, flinging balls at waves of enemies slowly descending towards you. Your balls bounce off of walls and enemies to damage and eventually eliminate them, preventing them from reaching the bottom and damaging you.

The headrest sports the Xbox logo, and the back of the chair has the official Xbox seal. It's ergonomic and fully adjustable, and is compact enough to accommodate most work and gaming spaces, standing at 47 to 52 inches tall and 27 inches wide.

See at Haworth Haworth x Xbox: Fern Gaming Chair Digital Knit $1,199 (was $1,599)

The Fern gaming chair with Digital Knit is a smooth, all-black version of this limited-edition chair featuring the Xbox logo in white on the headrest and subtle green accents on the back. It's slightly larger than the Very Gaming chair, but only by 2 to 3 inches, so it won't take up too much space. You can also purchase an optional lumbar support attachment for an additional $57.

See at Haworth Haworth x Xbox: Fern Gaming Chair Gradient Knit $1,386 (was $1,849)

The Gradient Knit Fern chair shares the exact dimensions, materials, and functionality as the Digital Knit--including the optional lumbar support attachment--but features a unique black and green gradient design.

See at Haworth Haworth x Halo: Fern Gaming Chair $1,124 (was $1,499)

The Halo edition of the Fern chair has the most intricate design of all the discounted gaming chairs. While it shares the same dimensions as the above models, its color scheme, decals, and other details are inspired by the armor of Xbox's most famous mascot, Master Chief.

See at Haworth Upside Sit-to-Stand Desk $575 (was $719)

Along with these Xbox- and Halo-themed gaming chairs, Haworth is also offering 20% off its Upside Sit-to-Stand adjustable electric desk. The desk offers several customizable options, including two control modules. The base model features simple button controls for adjusting the desk's height. A more advanced programmable control option is also available, allowing you to save multiple preset heights for automatic adjustment.

Prices vary between options, but regardless of which combination you choose, you'll still get the 20% off Black Friday deal applied automatically.

While the Haworth gaming chairs are undoubtedly of great quality, for many people, it can be hard to justify the steep prices, even with the Black Friday deals applied. Luckily, Amazon has a few gaming chairs available from other brands at a fraction of the price. You can pick up the Homall S-Racer adjustable chair for $90 (was $123.34), which has a nice black and white color scheme. Then there's the GTPlayer chair, which offers good lumbar support for $126 (was $190) and is available in several colors at various discounted prices. Whichever the case, while you won't get a sweet Xbox licensed gaming chair, saving money is its own reward.

All Arc Raiders Quests - Full Mission List

Game News - Wed, 11/05/2025 - 07:08

Arc Raiders is an extraction shooter that takes place in a punishing world featuring robotic enemies that can destroy you for making one wrong move. When you add in the threat of other players who might want to kill you and take your loot, too, you really need to make sure you're prepared to fight at all times. But there's a bit more to the game than just survival, as there are also a variety of quests to complete that can provide you with resources that will help you on your journey through Speranza. Below, we've listed out every quest you can undertake in Arc Raiders.

Arc Raiders missions list

There are currently 63 quests in Arc Raiders, though more will be added with future updates. As of right now, you can expect to spend dozens of hours completing these quests, which task you with finding spots on the map to interact with, looting unique resources to return safely to someone in Speranza, or defeating specific enemy types.

Every quest is accepted by speaking to Traders in Speranza, and they'll need to be turned in after completion to receive any rewards. Additionally, some quests will be locked behind progression, so you'll need to keep pushing through your currently accepted tasks to continue unlocking new quests to tackle. If you're struggling to complete any of them, you may want to recruit a pal (or stranger) to watch your back.

Bio Movie About Warcraft Player Ibelin Lines Up An Impressive Cast

Game News - Wed, 11/05/2025 - 07:00

Last year, Netflix released a documentary called The Remarkable Life of Ibelin, which followed the story of Mats Steen, a Norwegian gamer who found community and acceptance through World of Warcraft as his body suffered the effects of a rare form of muscular dystrophy. Now, Steen's life is being adapted as a scripted film, which already has a number of stars lined up.

According to Deadline, the cast of Ibelin includes Charlie Plummer, Anthony Hopkins, Toni Collette, Stephen Graham, Isabela Merced, and Maisy Stella. The Imitation Game director Morten Tyldum will helm the film from a script by Ilaria Bernardini and Hossein Amini. The story will be based on Steen's blog, Musings of Life, which he wrote until he passed away at 25 in 2014.

While Steen lost control of his limbs, he made a name for himself in WoW as Ibelin, where he made friends who helped give him a reason to keep going as long as possible. As noted in the report, Steen was "admired by thousands for his humor, kindness, and courage."

Battlefield 6 Reaches 10 Million Copies Sold, But Won't Be Enough To Topple Call Of Duty, Analyst Says

Game News - Wed, 11/05/2025 - 06:26

After selling 7 million copies right out of the gate, EA's Battlefield 6 has now surpassed 10 million units sold. That's according to Rhys Elliott of Alinea Analytics. He said in an interview with GI.biz that his firm came up with this estimate and that it applies to copies sold across all platforms.

EA, however, has yet to officially announce any other sales number for Battlefield 6 beyond 7 million. In any event, Elliott said Battlefield 6's strong launch "won't be enough to overturn Call of Duty's overall market dominance," or at least not in 2025.

Whereas the Battlefield series historically performs best on PC, Activision's Call of Duty series is a "multiplatform powerhouse" that is known to perform well across console and PC alike.

Arc Raiders Review - Stronger Together

Games Reviews - Wed, 11/05/2025 - 06:00

"Don't shoot!" I called out to the raider from a nearby bush. "I'm coming out, but I mean you no harm." Clearly startled by my presence and reacting based on what was more than likely a combination of the Rocketeer hovering menacingly close and a history of earlier betrayals, the dusty raider pointed his weathered Ferro rifle my way. He'd already called for the elevator to bring him back to Speranza safe and sound, so it's no wonder that he'd be anxious. He was in danger of losing everything right at the finish line, just before those saferoom doors opened. But so was I, and he didn't know--couldn't know--that I hadn't ever killed a raider before.

I could see him measuring my trustworthiness on the fly. "The robots are the bad guys, right?" I continued, sweating out the moment every second he didn't lower his gun. "If I killed you here, you'd be the first raider I've shot down. I'm just trying to get home, same as you." I kept moving so he couldn't get a clean shot at me, but I remained hopeful it wouldn't come to that. Before he could crunch the numbers on whether I was to be believed, the Rocketeer's alert status started howling something fierce. It had spotted him while he'd had his sights set on me.

Not a moment later, it was firing rockets his way, sending him to his knees, clutching to life with a backpack of rare who-knows-what. I could've let him die. Heck, I could've delivered the killing blow myself if I wanted to. But I made him a promise. I tossed a lure grenade over the ridge, buying us just enough time to dash--or crawl--into the elevator as the powerful drone took off for my distraction. The raider was bleeding out, but he would make it.

Majority Of Devs Say Steam Has Monopoly On PC Gaming In New Poll

Game News - Wed, 11/05/2025 - 05:38

For the last two decades, Valve's Steam has grown into a gigantic hub for distributing PC games. It's become one of the most important marketplaces in the entire gaming industry. Now, a new poll suggests that a majority of developers believe that Steam has a monopoly on the PC gaming business. But that doesn't seem to be stopping any of the companies from using Steam.

Atomik Research has shared the findings of its survey, "The State of PC Game Distribution," through the PC distribution platform Rokky (via GamesIndustry.biz). The survey was conducted in May of this year with responses from 306 industry executives in the United States and the United Kingdom.

According to the results, 72% of all responding executives felt that Steam has a monopoly on the PC games market. The survey participants also acknowledged that Steam sales provide over 75% of their revenue. But only 32% of responding executives said that their companies still support physical media of some form.

Fortnite's Simpsons Update Led To A Huge Surge In Players, The Most In A Long Time

Game News - Wed, 11/05/2025 - 05:22

The newest Fortnite season, which is all about The Simpsons, is putting up big numbers. Epic Games announced today that, after the first 48 hours, the new Simpsons season of Fortnite helped propel the game to the "biggest number of new and returning Fortnite players" since the Holiday 2024 season.

What's more, Epic said the first of multiple Simpson shorts on Disney+ became the platform's No. 1 program. "Move over Shelbyville," Epic said, referencing Springfield's rival next-door neighbor.

Epic did not announce a specific player figure, but data showed that the game eclipsed 2.7 million concurrent players over the weekend when the Simpsons update came out. That's a massive figure, but it's nowhere close to Fortnite's all-time record of 14.3 million current players in November 2024.

Your Wreckfest 2 Rides Are About To Look Like Actual Crap (But In A Good Way)

Game News - Wed, 11/05/2025 - 03:49

One of the most terrifying things you'll ever see in life is a fresh ding or a scrape on your car, but Wreckfest 2 developer Bugbear Entertainment is embracing this horror with the next update for the game. Whereas other car games allow you to create four-wheeled art with their livery editors, Bugbear is instead focusing on hurting the resale value of your digital jalopy with its car editor, fittingly dubbed the "CRAP-IT" toolset.

As demonstrated in the video below, you can create crimes against pixels by ruining the body of your car with bumps, watch the paintwork decay as rust sets in, and make car collectors lament the fate of your vehicle when you attempt to cover up the damage with badly placed decals.

In addition to the new feature that allows you to craft your very own car culture sins, the update has also improved the game's tire physics--"boing"--introduced faster loading times, added a new track called Crash Canyon 2.0, and introduced a new car in the form of a Volkswagen Beatle--an awful vehicle that deserves to feel the full force of the CRAP-IT system.

Switch Is About To Pass DS To Become Nintendo's Best-Selling Platform Ever, But May Not Beat PS2

Game News - Wed, 11/05/2025 - 03:37

Nintendo released its latest quarterly earnings report today for the six-month period that ended on September 30, revealing a number of new details about the health of the company's business, including updated sales figures for the Switch and Switch 2. The original Switch has now sold 154.01 million units since it launched in 2017, and that's fairly close to the PS2's lifetime record of 160 million.

Will the Switch be able to catch the PS2? Probably not, says one analyst. Even so, the Switch is about to pass the Nintendo DS (154.02 million units sold) to become Nintendo's best-selling platform ever. It needs just 10,000 more sales to match the DS. This has no doubt already happened, as Nintendo's numbers run through September 30, and that's already more than a month ago. However, this won't be official until Nintendo releases its next earnings report in February 2026 or sooner if the company opts to make an announcement outside of its scheduled earnings releases.

Daniel Ahmad of Niko Partners was recently asked if he believes the Switch can surpass the PS2 for lifetime sales, and he replied, "Probably not."

New Metroid Prime 4 Trailer Has Space Battles, Samus Flips, And An Akira Slide

Game News - Wed, 11/05/2025 - 03:17

Nintendo has unveiled a new Metroid Prime 4: Beyond trailer titled Survive, showcasing what awaits Samus Aran on the planet Viewros. The roughly 70-second video features the bounty hunter's gunship in aerial combat and a pretty slick motorcycle move by Samus that's an homage to the Akira slide.

The Metroid Prime 4 trailer--seen below--also highlights a variety of locales on the mysterious planet. Samus finds herself in a lush jungle, outside a spiky black building that would look at home in The Matrix, and what we can only assume is the obligatory lava area at one point. The bounty hunter also scans a new enemy mechanoid called a psy-bot soldier as well as fights the boss Aberax (previously highlighted during a Nintendo Treehouse stream).

The futuristic motorcycle named Vi-O-La gets teased again in the new video, as Samus rides the vehicle across a desert while fighting enemies. Last but not least, Sylux appears at the end, teasing the rival hunter as the main antagonist for the Switch and Switch 2 game.

Tuxedo Cat Lego Set Is On Sale For Its Lowest Price Yet Right Meow

Game News - Wed, 11/05/2025 - 03:09
See at Amazon

One of the best Lego Ideas building sets in recent years is on sale for its best price yet. The 1,710-piece Tuxedo Cat is discounted to $80 (was $100). Released in June 2024 to much fanfare, Tuxedo Cat is a realistic kitty cat model that honestly should probably be in the Lego Icons collection. Considering Tuxedo Cat is a consistent bestseller, we wouldn't be surprised if this deal sold out.

Lego Ideas: Tuxedo Cat (1,710 Pieces) $80 (was $100)

Inside the box, you'll find all 1,710 bricks you need--especially the important pink nose bits--to construct a life-size and convincing tuxedo kitty measuring over 12.5 inches tall.

Once fully assembled, you can rotate the cat's head and adjust its ears, paws, and tail. The mouth can be built to be open or closed--it's a simple process to rebuild this section--and you can even change its eye color from yellow to piercing blue.

Fortnite Chapter Seven Teasers Hint At Kill Bill Collaboration

Game News - Wed, 11/05/2025 - 03:06

The Simpsons have taken over Fortnite for the month of November, but players won't be sneaking around Springfield forever. A few hints for Fortnite Chapter 7 have started to emerge, and signs point to the immanent arrival of The Bride, a character played by Uma Thurman in Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2.

Fortnite content creator NickEh30 posted a teaser for Chapter Seven that has a set of coordinates that lead to the Hollywood sign. The text in the teaser says, "Now Playing / Zero Hour / Chapter Seven / Fortnite After Dark With Q&U." In Kill Bill, Q&U was the abbreviation that Tarantino and Thurman used for their collaboration.

Fortnite sent me a teaser... pic.twitter.com/6frt4BFHyG

— Nick Eh 30 (@NickEh30) November 3, 2025

The new season of Fortnite should arrive near the end of November, which be only a few days before the release of Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair on December 5. Both halves of Tarantino's movie have been edited back into a single film of this limited theatrical event. That may explain the timing of The Bride's Fortnite debut. If other Kill Bill characters appear, we wouldn't bet against the Deadly Vipers, the Crazy 88, or even Bill himself.

You Can Express Anger At Fortnite About Sidekick Restrictions Through A New Survey

Game News - Wed, 11/05/2025 - 02:58

The next big addition to Fortnite generated some big complaints, but fortunately, you can raise those directly at developer Epic Games in a new survey from the studio.

With the new mini-season based on The Simpsons comes the debut of Sidekicks, adorable pets that accompany you (and offer no gameplay advantage) on your battle royale bouts. But a closer look at the fine print reveals that the base appearance of these cute cosmetic creatures can only be customized once they have been obtained.

That means if you purchase a Sidekick from the Fortnite item shop, you only get one chance to determine its basic look, and you won't be able to change it afterward. If you want the same Sidekick but with, say, a different fur color, you'll have to buy it again. You can change the names of your Sidekicks at any time, however. Players have leveled complaints online, accusing Epic Games of greed.

WoW's Infamous $90 Dinosaur Mount May Be Coming Back

Game News - Wed, 11/05/2025 - 02:56

World of Warcraft's most infamous and expensive mount might be coming back after having only been available for a limited time.

According to a datamine by Wowhead, a shop-file description mentions a "Brutosaur Comeback." The description doesn't specify which massive dinosaur Brutosaur mount it is, but it's likely not the original Mighty Caravan Brutosaur that was available during the game's Battle for Azeroth expansion to the tune of 5 million gold.

That leaves the Trader's Gilded Brutosaur, which was available during a three-month period for WoW's 20th anniversary, as the likely candidate. The mount cost $90, making it the most expensive single in-game-shop item in the MMORPG's history. Wowhead estimates Blizzard could have made around $15 million selling the Trader's Gilded Brutosaur, and if that's the case, it's hardly a surprise the developer would offer it up again for those who didn't bite the first time.
