General News

Diablo 4 will introduce a Talisman system with the release of Lord of Hatred on April 28. These talismans function similarly to set items, but they do not occupy your equipment slots, nor do they directly grant large amounts of raw stats.

It is almost certain that Talisman system will enable a further surge in character output, yet the specifics revealed by the team so far have remained sparse. However, a recent endgame preview contained a few intriguing details. Let's use that information to take an early look at the system.

How to Unlock Talisman System?

Talisman system is a new feature arriving with the expansion, meaning players will need to own Lord of Hatred to access it. It is expected to unlock at a certain point during the campaign, much like how Runes system becomes available in Vessel of Hatred. In other words, you will need to complete the new storyline at least once and finish the associated quests; after that, any new characters you create should inherit the feature automatically. This is my personal expectation.

Talisman System

Unlike the charm system in Diablo 2, these talismans do not consume inventory space. They provide additional attributes and effects while residing in a clean, self-contained interface.

The layout consists of two main components: a central core and an outer ring. At the very center sits a Seal, which acts as the hub of the entire system. Surrounding Seal are 6 Charm sockets. The Seal determines how many Charms you can slot and comes with its own set of bonus effects.

The preview shown by the developers featured a Horadric Seal of Honor. Its description states that it unlocks 5 Charm sockets, caps the total number of sockets at five, but allows you to equip two Unique Charms.

The effects of Unique Charms were not disclosed, but they will likely carry unique-item-style powers rather than raw stat bonuses. Even with just that potential, they could double your character's damage output.

The numerical tuning of these effects remains to be seen. This is expected to be a relatively endgame feature, so the bonuses could be quite potent. On the other hand, because Charms do not directly compete with existing gear slots, their values could also be designed more conservatively. They will primarily compete with Unique Charms - and potentially Legendary Charms in the future. Even with more modest base stats, Charms will still provide meaningful contributions.

How Many Sets Will There Be?

Another consideration: in Diablo 3, each class had several predefined sets, and each one essentially locked you into a specific playstyle and build. That “one set, one build" approach may not translate smoothly into D4 unless the team releases a massive number of sets.

D4 offers far greater build diversity than D3, and with the new skill trees coming in the expansion, each class gains roughly 20 additional viable skill choices, resulting in an enormous number of possible combinations. For that reason, set designs cannot be tailored to only a single archetype.

There may be some versatile sets that work across multiple builds, and perhaps one or two highly specific sets that enable entirely new playstyles. At a minimum, Diablo 4 will require enough broadly applicable sets to cover a wide range of builds; otherwise, the value of this new content would be greatly diminished.

Seal Stats

Seal shown in the preview is clearly not the only type. Future Seals might offer six Charm sockets but disallow Unique Charms, or provide fewer sockets while permitting more Unique Charms to be equipped.

Seals also carry specific stat bonuses. Taking Horadric Seal of Honor as an example once more, it grants 45% increased Armor. In the current game environment, 45% extra Armor translates to roughly 10% to 15% damage reduction - a substantial impact.

Seals also feature bonuses tailored to specific set bonuses, such as “Increased damage dealt while moving" and “Reduced damage taken while moving." This suggests that Seal affixes may be randomly generated, including random stat enhancements and random bonuses that complement specific set configurations. You could hunt for the ideal Seal to match your chosen set, or even a combination of two three-piece sets worn together.

Charm Stats

Charms also carry attributes, and these appear to be randomly generated as well. In all Charms shown by the developers, you can see affixes that directly raise skill ranks. These may boost a specific skill or enhance an entire skill category - for instance, granting +1 to all Agility skills.

Even more noteworthy are the secondary attributes. In the preview, secondary stats included resistances, bonuses to drop rates of Diablo 4 items, and XP bonuses. A single Charm could provide around 47% increased experience, and stacking that across six Charms would yield nearly 300% bonus XP - pushing leveling speed to unprecedented levels.

Perhaps this is intentional: a way for players in the late game to assemble perfectly rolled Charms that dramatically improve farming efficiency while crafting ideal gear in Horadric Cube.

More likely, however, these drop rate and experience bonuses are additive with the multipliers already granted by your current difficulty tier. If Torment XII carries a native 1,400% XP bonus, an extra 50% from a Charm would represent only about a little relative increase. Still meaningful, but far from doubling - and far more reasonable.

That said, it introduces competition between combat power and farming efficiency. Players often struggle when forced to choose between gearing for raw strength and gearing for improved drops or experience.

If powerful combat stats like cooldown reduction or critical strike chance appear on Charms in the future, players will face a difficult dilemma: wear the strongest combat setup to tackle the toughest bosses, or swap to an experience-farming loadout to clear lower difficulties efficiently? This kind of trade-off is generally viewed as an unhealthy gameplay dynamic.

Therefore, the magnitude of these reward-oriented bonuses should remain relatively modest. If they truly are additive with difficulty multipliers, the concern is minor. But another awkward scenario arises: you rapidly climb to Paragon 300 using XP-stacked Charms, and the moment you hit the level cap, those experience bonuses become completely obsolete. Charms you worked hard to obtain would instantly cease to be optimal.

In summary, the final form of this system is still taking shape. Nevertheless, the details surrounding Seals and Charms are undeniably intriguing, and they will profoundly influence how players approach character building in the expansion.

This week's ARC Raiders Weekly Trials mark not only the 25th round since the game's launch but also the final set of Season 3, as the new Riven Tides update is set to go live next Tuesday, April 28th!

Consequently, compared to previous weeks, Week 25 Trials still consist of five objectives; however, the overall difficulty is notably higher, with some tasks even requiring you to face the most formidable ARC types currently in the game:

• Open ARC Probes
• Damage flying ARC enemies inside Spaceport Walls
• Open Containers inside Traffic Tunnels
• Damage Fireflies
• Damage Queens or Matriarchs

Nevertheless, there is no need to worry; we've got you covered with a detailed walkthrough for this week's Trials! With this guide in hand, you can freely schedule your time and make progress on your Trials whenever you like, right up until the weekly reset on Sunday!

Open ARC Probes

This is likely the easiest Trial objective this week; simply locate a sufficient number of ARC Probes across the map and open them to earn a three-star Trial rating.

These probes are non-hostile devices dispatched to Earth to collect various samples. Once opened, they reveal three internal compartments containing loot for you to scavenge.

However, be aware that the moment an ARC Probe is opened, it emits a distinct buzzing sound to signal for help. You must act quickly to breach the device and cut its power supply; otherwise, you risk attracting additional enemy reinforcements to your location.

As you approach a nearby probe, you will hear a faint beeping sound, the audio cue indicating it is functioning normally. Listening for this sound is a handy trick for locating the probes more efficiently.

To complete this Trial objective as quickly as possible, your best strategy is to wait until a Prospecting Probes event appears on the map before you begin farming. These events have a chance to spawn in any of the outdoor map zones.

During this event, a higher density of probes will appear; however, the downside is that they may be guarded more heavily by other ARC units, so you should still remain prepared for combat.

Damage flying ARC enemies inside Spaceport Walls

Locating and eliminating flying ARC units should be no trouble for you by now; the key challenge with this objective lies in the specific combat zone requirements.

Upon entering Spaceport map, you will notice that the majority of its areas are situated within the perimeter walls.

Although some sections of the wall have been demolished, any kills you secure within the theoretical exclusion zone defined by the original wall boundaries will still count toward your objective progress.

Currently, the primary areas that fall outside the wall boundaries are Rocket Assembly zone and Control Tower A6 building. While avoiding them, we recommend focusing on completing this task in the vicinity of Launch Tower.

This is because Spaceport map features an exclusive event called Launch Tower Loot, during which you can find additional loot at the very top of the tower.

Therefore, you can first make your way to the top of the tower to scavenge for loot, and then wait there for more flying ARC units to spawn so you can eliminate them. The types of enemies you may encounter include:

• Snitch
• Spotter
• Wasps
• Hornets
• Fireflies
• Rocketeers

Eliminating these enemies not only boosts your Trial Points but also yields loot directly from their bodies; so, be careful not to let other players, who might be camping nearby, snatch it away from you!

Open Containers inside Traffic Tunnels

Traffic Tunnels are an area located in the center of Blue Gate map. For this task, you simply need to keep searching for and opening containers within this area until you achieve a three-star rating.

However, there are a few things to keep in mind: First, the tunnels are underground, so you may have to traverse dark, hazardous zones to locate the containers. Second, this area is considered a high-value zone, making it very easy to get drawn into PvP combat.

If you feel you can handle these challenges, we recommend waiting until a major map event, such as Night Raid or Electromagnetic Storm, is active before attempting this Trial, as the spawn rate for containers increases significantly during these events.

Damage Fireflies

This enemy type was introduced to the game during Shrouded Sky update. It is an armored drone unit capable of dealing significant damage to you, particularly during close-quarters combat.

Fireflies often appear alongside Hornets and Wasps; however, they possess superior combat capabilities when operating solo compared to the other two, primarily attacking using a flamethrower.

Of course, like other ARC units, Fireflies have a specific weakness. When a Firefly extends its flamethrower, a yellow canister becomes exposed on its body; you can aim for this canister and shoot it to trigger an explosion.

Alternatively, if you happen to be positioned directly in front of a Firefly during combat, observe it closely to locate its front-facing thrusters. Once you have stripped away the armor protecting them, continue shooting the thrusters to deal increased damage.

Finally, to effectively dodge a Firefly's attacks, listen carefully to the audio cues; they emit a distinct sound, reminiscent of escaping gas, just before they are about to unleash their flamethrower.

Damage Queens or Matriarchs

Queens and Matriarchs currently represent the largest and most dangerous types of PvE enemies in ARC Raiders, a status that will only change once Riven Tides update introduces other massive adversaries.

Specifically, Matriarchs only appear on the map when the eponymous map event is triggered. The maps where this event can occur include Dam Battlegrounds, Spaceport, and Blue Gate.

Matriarchs possess not only formidable damage output and defensive capabilities but also the ability to summon other ARC units during combat to serve as their minions.

Consequently, it is best to avoid confronting a Matriarch head-on. Instead, you should first locate reliable cover to avoid being struck directly by her missiles or other weaponry, then continuously fire at her faceplate until her core is exposed.

Queens appear during Harvester events, where they serve as guardians for the structure associated with the event. While it is possible to simply bypass a Queen if your only objective is to loot the building's contents, engaging in combat is a mandatory requirement for the trials .

Compared to Matriarchs, Queens are slightly less formidable opponents; the key to victory lies in simultaneously dodging their attacks while targeting their core and leg joints.

The above covers the content and strategies for all trial missions in Week 25 of ARC Raiders. Next week's trials are expected to undergo significant changes due to the introduction of new content, stay tuned!

Raiders, everyone's eager to unleash a thrilling looting spree in Buried City Town, a renowned treasure trove. Rare weapons and high-level loot await you. However, the game is fiercely competitive; only those who find the key can unlock the rooms. Now, let's explore how to find and use the precious Buried City Town Hall key.

Where to find the key?

Actually, the key isn't hard to find. While item drops in ARC Raiders are random, there are still some patterns to follow.

Keys are relatively concentrated on Dam Battlegrounds map, especially in Ruby Residence and Administration Building. Because items frequently respawn, it's recommended to develop the habit of returning to key areas to re-loot. Of course, this assumes you have plenty of time.

Don't overlook the breaching containers in the rooms; you never know what goodies are hidden inside. You can also often find Buried City Town Hall key in lockers and chests. The chances aren't low.

Obtaining ARC Raiders Buried City Town Hall key from ARC enemies is another method, with a slightly higher probability of success while guarding the restricted area, but the risk also increases accordingly. With caution and good equipment, it's not particularly difficult.

How to use the key?

Preparation before Looting

First, players should put the hard-earned key into a Safe Pocket. You don't want to risk losing it, right?

You're probably hoping for a fruitful looting trip. Here's an easily overlooked point: to ensure a smoother looting experience, try to carry only essential items, leaving enough space in your inventory. Avoid the awkward situation of finding good items but not having enough space in your inventory.

If you want to use this key, you need to time it right and use it before leaving the map. Because once you die, you won't have a chance to use it, you'll lose the key you worked so hard to obtain, and you'll have to start all over again.

Looting Process

Next, we can find Town Hall and begin our journey. Players can easily find Town Hall on the map because it's a huge building and particularly conspicuous in open areas. You can also place a location marker for easy identification and to revisit later. If your spawn point allows, it's recommended to approach from the northwest.

You need to reach the north main entrance of Town Hall and use the key to open the large door in the center of the building. This room is relatively easy to find compared to other locked rooms. If you can find it, others can too, so remember to close the door behind you!

Because it's a key area, there will be relatively more ARC enemies, such as Tick, Pop, and Fireball. You can eliminate some ARC before starting to loot, creating a safer environment for yourself. Always be vigilant and protect your life and the good loot you find.

Town Hall has three floors. We need to focus on the second and third floors, as they have more loot.

The first-floor lobby, while not as good as the second and third floors, is still quite decent. You can find grenade cases behind the pillars on the first floor. Valuable residential items can be found in the chest of drawers, usually in the corner behind the door. There are also some ARC scraps, all from your destruction.

Upon reaching the second floor, the quality of loot improves significantly. You can find medical bags near the railings in the hallway. Keep an eye on the drawers in the rooms; you might find them through holes in the walls. They likely contain valuable items.

Additionally, a chest of drawers can be found in the east room. The furniture you see may randomly spawn world loot. There's also a refrigerator for storing natural loot.

The third floor might be the most lucrative spot. Finding epic items isn't unusual. The main focus is on looting the cabinets, chests of drawers, security breach lockers, breachable computer cabinets, and weapon cases. Weapon cases have a higher chance of containing rare items.

Looting Results

What you find in Town Hall depends partly on luck, as the drops and containers are randomized. It's possible you'll find both Bobcat and an upgraded Bettina this time, but come back empty-handed next time.

The important thing is to maintain a good mindset in the game. Don't be arrogant when you return with a full load, and don't be discouraged when you return empty-handed; these are inevitable experiences.

Important Notes

Unless under special circumstances, after finishing a looting session, you can use a Raider Hatch key to safely escape from a hatch. It's located in the northeast corner of Town Hall; you'll find a somewhat hidden hatch there. Then, quickly return to Speranza.

So, try to prepare a Raider Hatch Key in advance so you can bring back all your loot. That's what makes a complete looting session.

In short, finding Buried City Town Hall Key isn't as difficult as you might think. Follow the methods in this guide to find it, and use the key carefully to maximize its benefits. Go online and try it out!

WoW TBC Classic Anniversary Phase 2 is set to arrive in mid-May, which is a bit earlier than most players expected. That said, it still leaves just enough time to level up a new alt.

Phase 2 will introduce two new raids, and with them, the landscape for DPS classes is bound to shift. If you're hoping to secure a raid spot in Phase 2, let's take a look at which DPS specs are projected to perform best - and worst.

Tier C

Combat Rogue

If you frequent the Looking for Group channels, you'll notice two classes everywhere: Warriors and Rogues. A raid needs Rogues about as much as it needs a Balance Druid. Yet the number of Rogue players is roughly ten times that of Balance Druids.

Given that Phase 2 raids will likely be somewhat easier after possible nerfs, Rogues will still face a situation where supply exceeds demand. If you'd rather not struggle to recruit more Warlocks or Mages, bringing four or five Rogues is a convenient solution - and it also ensures full uptime on Improved Expose Armor.

Arms Warrior

Currently, the least popular specialization in TBC Classic is Arms Warrior. If Fury Warrior didn't exist, Arms would be a perfectly solid spec, but most players obviously care more about raw output.

Affliction Warlock

Affliction Warlock is widely regarded as one of the strongest classes in Phase 2. During trash clearing, a Warlock's Seed of Corruption combined with a Warrior's Sweeping Strikes can unleash devastating area damage.

However, the biggest issue for Warlocks isn't damage - it's survival. Since most Protection Paladins lack sufficient spell power to hold threat against large trash packs, Warlocks using Seed of Corruption are extremely prone to over-threat and getting taken down. Unless Protection Paladin in your group is a top-tier player, Warlock will likely spend much of the trash phase on the floor.

Tier B

Elemental Shaman

Not every raid composition includes an Elemental Shaman, but this specialization is absolutely a valuable option. If you're thinking of leveling a new alt right now, Elemental Shaman is an excellent choice. This isn't only because of the massive spell damage boost their totems provide to caster groups, or their burst damage in short fights - the key reason is Phase 2's most difficult encounter: Lady Vashj.

In this fight, the raid must handle a Strider that needs to be kited. Any player who gets too close to that target suffers a fear effect, which can easily wipe the group. While Mages, Hunters, and even skilled Druids can kite, the simplest and most forgiving option is an Elemental Shaman using Frost Shock. They generate enormous threat, perfectly bypassing this fight's most troublesome mechanic.

Shadow Priest

In the post-nerf environment of Phase 2's Serpentshrine Cavern and Tempest's Keep, many boss fights will see Arcane Mages at the top of the damage meters. Once Mages obtain their two-piece Tier 5 set, the damage of their core spell, Arcane Blast, increases by 20%, sending their output soaring.

Yet the double-edged nature of T5 set is that Arcane Blast's mana cost also skyrockets. In longer boss fights, Arcane Mages become heavily dependent on a Shadow Priest's Vampiric Touch to restore mana. Without a Shadow Priest's support, Mage team will quickly run out of mana and be forced to rely on Frostbolt - a significant damage loss.

Enhancement Shaman

Enhancement Shaman provides the raid with a huge amount of passive stats through totems and buffs. Because the number of Enhancement players is very low, almost every guild is recruiting one, and they tend to be forgiving when it comes to gear and skill. As a result, an Enhancement Shaman in Phase 2 will rarely have trouble finding a group.

Tier A

Beast Mastery Hunter

Beast Mastery Hunters consistently put up top-tier damage on many raid boss encounters. Any raid would gladly take three to five Hunters.

Yet the number of players willing to main a Hunter seems to be declining. The likely reason is that farming a Hunter's best gear is extremely tedious and time-consuming. Apart from those who chose a Hunter from the very beginning, most players leveling alts tend to avoid this class.

Retribution Paladin

Retribution Paladin is definitely a niche spec that can shine in early Phase 2, even though obtaining its core weapon is no small task.

Retribution Paladin's Lionheart Executioner provides a damage cap far exceeding one-handed weapon upgrades, and its massive burst damage is enough to easily secure a place in early boss fights. However, you'll need to convince the other players in the raid to prioritize Nether Vortex.

Feral Druid

Feral Druid is another seriously underrated key role. A single Feral Druid, through its aura, can provide roughly 100 extra damage per second to each Warrior, Rogue, and Enhancement Shaman in the melee group. For a physical-damage-heavy composition, sometimes multiple Feral Druids may be desired.

Tier S

Fire Mage

Fire Mages top the damage charts in boss fights, but they share the same T5 set token with Warlocks and Hunters. Fire Mage's 20% Arcane Blast damage increase, Hunter's 5% Steady Shot critical chance, and Warlock's two-set bonus all guarantee fierce competition for Tier 5 tokens. Sometimes you may find yourself rolling against eight or nine other players for a single piece of gear.

Balance Druid

Balance Druid is the second least popular class, mainly because its personal damage isn't particularly high, it struggles with mana consumption during early progression, and it's relatively gear-dependent. In practice, however, it brings a lot to a raid.

Innervate, Battle Resurrection, and Faerie Fire all prove quite useful in raid encounters. Many groups are happy to bring one Balance Druid - but only one. Given that Balance Druids aren't numerous, you're almost certain to find a raid spot.

Fury Warrior

Fury Warrior's damage potential as a pure DPS spec is seriously underestimated in Phase 2. In a well-optimized raid, the top spot on the damage meters often belongs not to a Mage or Hunter, but to a Warrior.

Because WoW TBC Classic Anniversary may reduce raid boss health and damage, Warriors will be able to cover longer fight phases with Recklessness, Death Wish, Blood Fury, and Bloodlust - generating massive rage and dealing devastating damage. On many boss fights, Warrior may very well be the highest damage dealer.

Phase 2 tests not only your personal rotation, but also the wisdom of raid composition and gear distribution. If you're willing to choose a class that supports the team, plenty of groups will extend you an invitation.

Among all the programs in MLB The Show 26, April Spotlight Drops are known for their rapid update cycle; on average, a new round is released every week throughout April. Consequently, it is all too easy to miss out on rewards if you aren't paying close attention.

Currently available is April Spotlight Drop 3, which went live on April 17th. It is expected to be replaced by Drop 4 in about a week, or potentially superseded entirely by the launch of the May events.

However, the rewards within April Spotlight Drop 3 include a number of high-OVR player cards. If you are looking to further bolster your Diamond Dynasty squad, this is an opportunity you absolutely cannot afford to miss!

To assist you, we have put together a comprehensive guide on how to complete April Spotlight Drop 3 program.

Earning Program XP

The core mechanic behind almost every MLB 26 program involves earning XP by fulfilling specific program requirements; once your XP total reaches certain thresholds, you automatically unlock the corresponding rewards.

Given the extremely limited timeframe, April Spotlight Drop 3 features a concise set of just five rewards, with the highest tier requiring you to earn a mere 50 XP. Furthermore, there are multiple avenues available for earning these rewards, not just by completing missions.

Available missions

While you have a variety of options in April Spotlight Drop 3, you may still find yourself gravitating toward prioritizing missions. This program offers four missions to choose from; their requirements and corresponding XP rewards are as follows:

• Earn 3,000 Parallel XP in any game mode - 15 Program XP
• Earn 1,000 Parallel XP using players from Spotlight and/or Topps Now series - 15 Program XP
• Hit 15 Home Runs using any player - 10 Program XP
• Record 15 Strikeouts using any Relief Pitcher or Closer - 10 Program XP

Completing Specific Moments

Moments is a gameplay feature found within both Diamond Dynasty and Storylines modes. It allows you to relive iconic highlights from baseball history by playing through short, objective-driven game scenarios.

In April Spotlight Drop 3, there are eight Moments available that provide XP; the first seven of these each award 4 XP:

• Debut Dagger
• Marsee in Motion
• Guardians Angel
• Springs Shutdown
• Sheets Ends It
• Duran's Door Slam
• Will Power
• OPTIONAL EXTREME: Three of a Kind

The final moment listed above is a high-difficulty challenge added specifically for April Spotlight Drop 3. It requires you to hit three home runs using Max Muncy on All-Star difficulty; successfully completing this challenge instantly grants you 22 XP!

Complete Specific Collections

Most MLB '26 player cards belong to a specific Series, and typically, completing the collection of every player within an entire Series yields additional rewards.

If you wish to earn April Spotlight Drop 3 XP through this method, the available Series collections include:

• Collect all Spotlight Pack Players from April Spotlight Drop 3 Pack - 35 Program XP
• Collect all Topps Now Series Players from April Spotlight Drop 3 Pack - 15 Program XP

It is worth noting that these two collections are optional content, and the associated player cards cannot be sold on the marketplace.

Furthermore, if you manage to obtain all the rewards from April Spotlight Drop programs, specifically by completing the collections for April Spotlight Program Players and April Spotlight Pack Players, you will unlock additional rewards in May:

• April Lightning player (coming May 5)
• April Retro Lightning player (coming May 5)

If you have already completed these collections, they will each yield an additional 1 Program XP. Obviously, however, this is not their primary usage.

April Spotlight Drop 3 rewards overview

All rewards within April Spotlight Drop 3 include one April Spotlight Week 3 Pack, 2,500 Game XP, and three individual player cards: Juan Brito, Gavin Sheets, and Jhoan Duran. Their respective values and the amount of XP required to unlock them are as follows:

• 10 XP - Juan Brito Player
• 20 XP - Gavin Sheets Player
• 30 XP - 2,500 Game XP
• 40 XP - April Spotlight Week 3 Pack
• 50 XP - Jhoan Duran Player

The players you may obtain upon opening April Spotlight Week 3 Pack include:

• OVR 89 Ronny Mauricio (3B, New York Mets)
• OVR 89 Jeffrey Springs (SP, Athletics)
• OVR 89 Jakob Marsee (CF, Miami Marlins)
• OVR 91 Willson Contreras (1B, Boston Red Sox)
• OVR 91 Angel Martinez (LF, Cleveland Guardians)

If you are in need of a reliable right-handed batter, Willson Contreras is your best option. However, if you are simply looking for a versatile player, Ronny Mauricio, who boasts solid defensive skills and is a switch-hitter, is a worthy addition to your roster.

Optimal XP Farming Strategies

Generally speaking, we highly recommend prioritizing missions that offer higher XP rewards. However, if those missions prove too difficult for you, such as the newly added Special Moments, then opting for standard missions is a safer and more reliable approach.

In fact, you can unlock all five rewards by completing just four missions. If you have already completed other moments or collections, simply choose the missions you are most proficient at.

To ensure you don't fall behind on future program progress, you should aim to complete all currently active programs, especially the short-term ones, as early as possible. If you haven't started yet, it's best to pick up the pace!

If none of these reward player cards or packs meet your specific roster upgrade needs, you can choose to buy MLB 26 stubs from IGGM. Because this special in-game currency can be redeemed for additional packs, thereby expanding your range of available choices!

Players, the long-awaited release of Forza Horizon 6 is almost here! This time, the game is set in the uniquely charming city of Tokyo, Japan. Are you interested in the game's Tokyo setting? Now, let's explore the wonders of the Tokyo map together.

Map Design

One of the core gameplay elements of Forza Horizon 6 is the fog of war mechanic. As players drive through areas, the map gradually brightens from gray. Each time a new area is unlocked or an unexplored road is discovered, the system automatically rewards Forza Horizon 6 credits and experience points.

The road network in Tokyo presents a multi-layered, three-dimensional structure. On the ground, there are narrow alleys and markets; in the air, there are overpasses and ramps; and underground, there are tunnels and underpasses. This vertical layering design makes it easy for players to see their destination but not find the entrance, greatly enhancing the immersive experience of exploration.

The traffic density in the game is just right; any more and it would be congested, any less and it would feel deserted.

Iconic Buildings and Realistic Streetscapes

As mentioned before, Tokyo, Japan, is a city brimming with character, and the game reflects this vibrant culture throughout.

Besides the famous Shibuya Crossing and Tokyo Tower, the game likely features hidden locations, such as Hachiko statue. Baseball stadiums and other sports fields will also appear, with vehicles able to drive directly onto them.

The docks and industrial districts might be an underrated stunt playground. Its multi-level warehouse structure allows vehicles to drive inside and climb ramps and ramps to the top. Various sizes of jump pads are distributed from the ground to the roof, and you can even drive on top of shipping containers, creating natural obstacle courses.

This area may become a popular location for custom races and stunt challenges in the full version.

You might also discover a large traditional building with a moat or walls, resembling a castle, which is magnificent at night. You'll definitely want to stop and admire it.

Rainbow Bridge is another new location you can unlock, with a colorful glow that makes it highly recognizable. Of course, it's even more visually appealing when explored at night.

Throughout the game, authentic Japanese signage is painted on the ground in all parking lots and alleyways. People chat and stroll on the streets, accompanied by buses, taxis, and private cars, creating a rich urban atmosphere. These realistic street scenes make you feel like you're actually in Tokyo.

Perhaps to showcase the game's lighting and shadow effects, the transition between day and night is quite lengthy. However, when night truly falls, Tokyo Tower transforms into a lighthouse, with warm and cool lights filtering through the gaps between skyscrapers, and the tunnel lighting has been meticulously adjusted.

Incidentally, cherry blossoms have become a visual symbol in the game. Will the screen full of pink cherry blossoms wither in winter? Will they remain? We can look forward to it.

Exploration-Driven Economic Cycle

In the early stages of the game, the most effective way to level up isn't by participating in races, but by pure, continuous exploration.

Firstly, mascots are almost everywhere in the country; simply crashing them yields a small reward, and the sheer number is ridiculously high, making it irresistible.

Secondly, the traditional Bonus Boards element will return to the game. The festival crew will place them throughout the map to help drivers gain an advantage outside of races.

Also, when unlocking new locations, a pop-up notification will appear, granting Forza Horizon 6 credits and XP. This will incentivize players to easily unlock more than half of Tokyo area.

However, one point needs to be mentioned. The traditional Fast Travel board collection mechanism has been removed in the preview version, replaced by free Fast Travel. It's unclear whether this is a temporary setting for the preview or a final decision for the official release.

Performance and Platform Expectations

If you run the preview version on Xbox Series X, you'll get a flawless, crash-free experience. The frame rate is stable, and loading speeds are fast. However, we believe PC version will perform even better, as PC allows for higher graphics settings and more flexible photo mode output.

We can see that there are many photography enthusiasts in the community, and we believe everyone can create amazing works using photo modes against the backdrop of Tokyo's stunning nightscape. Imagine the breathtaking scene of cherry blossoms falling.

Anticipation for Full Version

The preview version already offers players a rich gaming experience, but for the full version, we hope Tokyo will have its own dedicated garages, purchasable properties with lifts or unique interior design, rather than just a uniform festival location.

We're really looking forward to the developers designing numerous narrow alleyways and market passageways as tracks, utilizing the characteristics of Japanese alleyways and showcasing the unique spatial feel of Japanese cities.

Of course, the preview version only shows a portion of the content; the full version may include unrevealed mega structures or special landmarks. These are currently unknown, so let's wait and see.

That concludes FH6 Japan. The new city setting will surely bring you a unique cultural experience. Get ready for the full release!

Ladies and gentlemen, we're about to welcome the brand-new Diablo 4 Lord of Hatred expansion, along with the biggest endgame content update since the game's release: War Plans system. Now, you can create your own personalized endgame progression plan, choosing your favorite activities and applying various modifiers to achieve the rewards you've always dreamed of.

Let's take a closer look at this new endgame content and discuss how War Plans mechanic allows, how we customize rewards and activities, and how it will impact existing gameplay.

War Plans Explained

First, what are War Plans? It actually consists of two parts.

On one hand, it's similar to a list of activities. You can choose the activities you want to do and complete them in the order listed. Adjusting this as the game progresses ultimately yields high-value rewards, creating your own personalized endgame progression path.

On the other hand, it's the actual meta-progression system for the skill tree. War Plans allow players to create up to five endgame events from Diablo 4's endgame content. There are seven main events, each with its own independent skill tree: Helltides, Whispers, Lair Bosses, Nightmare Dungeons, Infernal Hordes, Pit of Artificers, and Kurast Undercity.

Once an event is completed, players will have the opportunity to progressively upgrade their unique skill tree, shaping their own endgame experience. This skill tree allows players to customize rewards and enemies and integrate features from different endgame events into other events.

If you've played Path of Exile 2, this mechanic should be very familiar. Atlas system in PoE 2 also allowed players to customize these event mechanics using points unlocked over time. However, compared to the potentially bewildering Atlas system in PoE 2, War Plans should be simpler in design.

In short, War Plans' biggest feature is its ability to combine various activities, creating numerous opportunities for improvisational gameplay, breaking the monotony, keeping you alert, and allowing you to more effectively and strategically acquire specific rewards. Ultimately, we can focus on the activities we truly want to do, at least a few, while ignoring those that might not suit our character build or that we don't particularly enjoy.

How to progress in War Plans?

Next, let's look at War Plans' leveling system. Specifically, as you progress through War Plans, you'll gain levels, these levels apply not only to War Plans themselves, increasing rewards from various activities, but also to the associated skill trees.

For example, when you complete The Pit once, progress information will be displayed at the bottom of the screen. You'll gain 25 XP, which will then accumulate in the experience bar at the top of the screen. If you complete The Pit six times consecutively, your level will increase from 1 to 2.

Of course, as your level increases, the required experience threshold will also rise. Therefore, later on, you might need to complete The Pit dungeon on high difficulty dozens or even more times to finally accumulate all the XP.

It's also worth mentioning that these skill trees present themselves differently each time. You'll always have two options to choose from, but these two options will eventually converge on the same node. So, from the beginning, you can roughly see the entire process. What options are available, and which specific activities are you able to participate in?

In fact, there's likely a New Plan button in War Plans. Using this function will probably cost Diablo 4 gold or some other specific currency. This design is to prevent players from simply sitting and endlessly re-rolling until they get their five desired activities.

However, if you don't like the current combination of activities, you can indeed choose to generate a new War Plan.

Once you've locked in all the options, you can officially start the War Plan. The game interface will display a task list, guiding you to complete these activities in a specific order. This task list will be displayed on the screen whenever you open the world map. This way, the system can constantly remind you what to do next. At the same time, you can view all the corresponding rewards at any time.

Can this really change Diablo 4's existing disadvantages?

After a deep dive into War Plans, we think it's time to look at it from a different angle. Many people say this system will save Diablo 4's endgame content. But upon closer analysis, War Plans doesn't actually offer anything new. Imagine: you log into the game, enter Helltides, then run Nightmare Dungeons, maybe do a Pit run, and finally challenge the boss. There's nothing new in itself.

The only difference is that War Plans integrates all these activities into a structured system. Essentially, it's like a bootstrapping loop that schedules your next activity without requiring you to think about it.

This alone solves one of Diablo 4's biggest long-standing problems: many players don't know what to do after logging into the game, especially after reaching the level cap. War Plans system completely solves this problem.

Now, after starting the game, once you complete one activity, you can immediately move on to the next. No searching, no menu switching, no hesitation, just continuous action. This makes your entire gaming experience smoother, faster, and more satisfying. But that's only part of it.

As you delve deeper into the system, you'll discover the essence of strategy. Each activity has its own skill tree, and it's here that your decisions begin to take effect. You're no longer passively completing tasks; you're shaping the tasks themselves. You can focus on specific rewards, increase the probability of certain drops, or even turn seemingly meaningless activities into worthwhile challenges.

This is why many players consider War Plans system excellent. It's clearly structured, more efficient, and provides clearer direction. You no longer wander aimlessly but follow a carefully designed cycle, making your time more valuable.

However, there's another side to the story. You'll find that you're still playing the same content: Helltides, Lair Bosses, Nightmare Dungeons, Infernal Hordes, and Kurast Undercity, they haven't changed, only the organization has. Therefore, if these activities don't truly engage you from the start, the War Plan won't suddenly change that.

This leads to a bigger issue: Diablo 4 needs more than just a better system; it needs entirely new endgame content. Something truly fresh, something that can transform the gameplay experience, not just a repetitive cycle of existing content.

Even if the new system feels smooth and efficient, the sense of repetition won't disappear. Once that feeling sets in, it's hard to ignore, and no amount of structural or reward enhancements can completely mask it.

Final Thoughts

Yes, War Plan system isn't a groundbreaking innovation, but it still has the potential to be the key to giving Diablo 4 a more complete endgame loop experience. Of course, it could also ultimately become one-off content that players quickly figure out, optimize, and then discard. We'll have to wait and see.

However, one thing is certain: this system will profoundly reshape the future gameplay experience of Diablo 4. The real test will begin once we experience it firsthand.

The first racers event from Monopoly Ever After Album, Cinderella Racers, has already brought plenty of fun, and the good news is - the second racers event is right around the corner!

Monopoly Go Tycoon Racers event does not require you to team up with other players, but there's no question that forming a crew with active, well-stocked players will greatly increase your chances of claiming first place.

Tycoon Racers Event Schedule

Like most Monopoly Go racers events, you'll have one day to find teammates and assemble your crew, followed by three days of competition against other squads. Luck, strategy, and Tycoon Racer Tokens will all play a role in determining the winner.

Here are the specific start and end times for April 22 Tycoon Racers event. Be sure to use up all your Flag Tokens before the event concludes - otherwise, they'll be converted to cash instead of dice after it's over.

• PT: Begins at 10:00 on April 22 and ends at 13:00 on April 26
• CT: Begins at 12:00 on April 22 and ends at 15:00 on April 26
• ET: Begins at 13:00 on April 22 and ends at 16:00 on April 26
• BST: Begins at 18:00 on April 22 and ends at 21:00 on April 26

Tycoon Racers Event Rewards

Tycoon Racers event varies depending on whether you enter solo or as part of a crew. The rewards you receive also differ based on your final ranking. Only the player or crew that finishes in first place will walk away with the most coveted prize - Board Token - while everyone else will receive various sticker packs according to their placement.

It's also worth noting that solo participants in Tycoon Racers event will not receive a purple sticker pack (5-star pack) even if they take first place. Meanwhile, crews that manage to secure second place will earn a purple pack. From a rewards standpoint, teaming up is far more advantageous than going it alone.

Below are the ranking rewards for Tycoon Racers event.

Team Racers

• 1st: Board Token, purple sticker pack, blue sticker pack, and Enchanted Storybook
• 2nd: Purple sticker pack and blue sticker pack
• 3rd: Blue sticker pack and pink sticker pack
• 4th: Yellow sticker pack and green sticker pack

Solo Racers

• 1st: Board Token, blue sticker pack, pink sticker pack
• 2nd: Pink sticker pack, yellow sticker pack
• 3rd: Pink sticker pack
• 4th: Yellow sticker pack

The above does not represent all the rewards you can earn during this event. As your crew reaches certain lap milestones, you'll also have the chance to select additional prizes. These can include dice rolls, sticker packs, Flag Tokens, and more.

How to Find Teammates?

Tycoon Racers event does not force you into a team the way Partner Events do. If you choose to race solo, you'll be matched against other solo players. If you opt to join as part of a crew but don't find anyone to team up with, the system will randomly assign partners to fill out your roster.

Keep in mind that some players may not log in at all during the event. Leaving your crewmates up to random assignment carries significant risk - it could mean your squad has to compete while short one or even two active members.

If you want reliable, active teammates, your best bet is to bring family and friends into your crew, provided they play regularly. A less ethical - and far more time-consuming - alternative is to manage multiple accounts yourself and use them as your teammates.

A much easier approach is to find a few consistent and active partners, then buy Monopoly GO Tycoon Racers Event Rank #1 Full Carry service from IGGM to fill any remaining spots. That way, your crew can keep the momentum going throughout the entire event.

Tycoon Racers Victory Rules

Rankings in Tycoon Racers event are determined by medal count. Between the 23rd and the 26th, there will be three races (one per day). After tallying each crew's lap totals, medals are awarded accordingly. Take note that the final race on April 26 awards double medals, which means many crews will hoard Flag Tokens to make a push for the last day. However, the first two races are just as important - you'll want to approach lap progression strategically.

Since it's possible for two crews to end up with the same medal count, ties for first place can happen. In theory, this means you could secure first place by winning only the second and third races (or the first and third), even if you finish last in the remaining one. There is some risk involved, as you can't always control the outcome, so it's best to communicate clearly with your crew ahead of time.

How to Earn Flag Tokens?

Flag Tokens are clearly the key to your crew's success - you need them to advance through laps. Here are the ways to obtain Flag Tokens during Tycoon Racers event.

Quick Wins and Shop Gifts

These two methods won't flood you with Flag Tokens, but they have the advantage of being free. You only need to complete a few simple tasks to claim Quick Wins rewards, and Shop Gift refreshes every eight hours.

It's recommended to wait until Tycoon Racers event officially begins before completing tasks or claiming rewards - otherwise you might miss out on some Flag Tokens.

Tycoon Racers Lap Milestones

As you reach certain lap counts, the selection of rewards you can choose from often includes sticker packs, dice, and hundreds of Flag Tokens. If your goal is to push your vehicle through more laps, you may have to pass on the other two tempting options.

Banner Events and Tournaments

These are the primary source of Flag Tokens. Nearly every milestone reward contains thousands of Flag Tokens. To actually claim them, however, you'll need a healthy reserve of dice rolls going in. It's important to plan how many milestones you aim to hit each day - otherwise you might burn through all your dice on day one.

That covers everything you need to know about April 22 Tycoon Racers event. May your crew race ahead and leave the competition in the dust!

As with most previous new seasons, Torchlight Infinite Season 12 features its own exclusive mechanic. This serves not only to inject fresh excitement and fun into the game but also acts as one of your primary methods for farming resources during the new season.

The tricky part is that SS12 has only been live for four days; consequently, you might find yourself unable to properly utilize the new Lunaria mechanic due to a lack of understanding or proficiency. Don't worry, we are here to provide you with a reliable guide!

What is Lunaria?

The theme and title of this season are named directly after this mechanic. The specific gameplay associated with it is often referred to as Lunaria Loop, and its core mechanism revolves around interacting with Lunar Stone Statues scattered throughout Netherrealm maps.

More specifically, as you explore the map, you must search for these scattered stone statues. Interacting with them awakens them, thereby summoning Lunari monsters. Defeating these monsters rewards you with Torchlight Infinite Flame Elementium.

During this process, if you manage to capture or activate multiple statues simultaneously, you will trigger a massive chain reaction of explosions. This not only allows you to instantly clear large areas of enemies but also significantly boosts your reward yields.

Perhaps the most intriguing aspect is that Lunaria mechanic introduces a unique string-plucking action, somewhat akin to the gameplay found in rhythm games.

You are required to pluck the strings in a specific rhythm to interact with the lunar elements, aiming to maximize your combo count to secure even more loot.

How to utilize this mechanic?

To successfully engage in the string-plucking action, you need to possess two specific items: Lunar Harp and Lunar Strings. The former serves as the foundational tool for activating the statues, while the latter allows you to customize and modify Harp itself.

Different strings provide different buff effects, allowing you to tailor Harp to suit your specific combat style. Once you acquire these strings, you can store them in your Lunar String Box and subsequently install them onto your Harp.

Furthermore, you can scrap unwanted strings to obtain the specific types you are missing, thereby enabling you to fine-tune and enhance your Lunar Harp.

One potential stumbling block you might encounter when first starting out is the apparent inability to immediately access the buffs provided by Harp. This is because, during your initial attempt to interact with it, the system will often indicate that it is currently on cooldown.

To resolve this issue, you must first locate a Lunar Ring zone within the map. You then need to lure and gather at least six monsters inside this circular zone to activate it, thereby triggering Lunaria mechanic and making Harp available for use.

Subsequently, by continuously defeating monsters within the circle's radius, you can repeatedly recharge and utilize your lute, thereby consistently gaining additional buff effects.

Furthermore, whether you are in a town or in any other non-combat state, you can access the interface at any time to adjust and configure your Moon Lute simply by tapping the button located at the top of the screen.

It is worth noting that numerous attributes and numerical values are inextricably linked to your Lunar Harp; these include, for instance, the radius of Moon Ring, the rate at which charges accumulate through monster kills, your initial charge count, and your maximum charge capacity.

Optimal Lunar Strings selection

If viewed through the lens of classic ARPG mechanics, you can essentially regard the various Lunar Strings as modifiers, each imbued with a distinct set of affixes or effects.

Based on this premise, we highly recommend that you always equip Moon's Echo. This String ensures that even after a statue drifts beyond the radius of your Lunar Ring, its awaiting activation state persists for an additional 4 seconds, provided the statue remains within 4 meters of the ring's edge.

This implies that you can simply run past statues and activate them after they have exited your ring's immediate area.

Consequently, your ring's effective coverage becomes far more flexible and expansive, allowing you to activate a greater number of statues than you would by simply standing still.

Additionally, Starwave amplifies the potency of all minor mods equipped on your gear, while Celestial River automatically triggers a Pluck action whenever six or more statues are gathered within the confines of your ring.

Although Celestial River cannot automatically trigger pluck actions during Rhapsody event, it compensates by instead significantly expanding the radius of your Lunar Ring.

Beyond the three core Lunar Strings mentioned above, which can be effectively combined, Moon Bloom String presents another viable option to consider.

As you perform consecutive Pluck actions, this String progressively reduces the resource consumption associated with each subsequent pluck.

Furthermore, there is one specific string that holds immense potential during the endgame: Verdant Sprout. Initially, it drastically shrinks the radius of your Lunar Ring; however, with every subsequent Pluck action you perform, the ring's AoE expands accordingly.

The reason this string proves particularly effective in the endgame, rather than earlier stages, is that securing reliable AoE capabilities is often challenging during the early game, making it difficult to truly harness the full power of Verdant Sprout.

Comprehensive farming setup

With the aforementioned mechanics in mind, if your goal is to utilize Lunaria system for efficient resource farming, your primary objective should be to optimize your talent tree configuration before engaging in combat.

Based on this, you should first prioritize stacking item quantity affixes to their absolute limit. Afterward, unlock various nodes related to treasure chests, as well as bonuses such as Nether Resonance and Ember.

Next, maximize the juice of your map, and then simply follow the path of the massive circular route displayed on your screen. However, do not forget to customize your strumming settings.

This is because the system automatically triggers the strumming mechanism whenever six statues appear simultaneously within the circular zone, and you may not always wish to activate this automatic function.

Furthermore, upon your initial entry into a specific game zone, Avatar of the Moon has a 10% chance to empower certain monsters within that area; these empowered monsters will yield an additional 100% in loot drops.

Unlocking Pactspirit-related talents located in the lower section of the talent tree will increase the likelihood of Avatar of the Moon empowering monsters. Alternatively, you might consider swapping this talent out for Chalk or other types of skills.

By utilizing Lunaria seasonal mechanic, along with the specific build configurations we have outlined, you can acquire basic currencies as well as other valuable items, such as various types of Dust or Omni Elixirs.

We hope this guide proves helpful as you make the most of Lunaria mechanic! Have fun playing Season 12!

Last week, ARC Raiders offered a preliminary glimpse, via email subscription, at some details regarding the new Riven Tides map. Now, with just 10 days remaining until the update's official launch, the game has finally released a more formal teaser trailer.

Although the teaser is quite brief, it does reveal glimpses of additional areas within the new map, content that extends beyond the information previously shared via email. Furthermore, ARC Raiders has unveiled even more content across various social media platforms.

In this article, we will compile and present all this new information regarding Riven Tides, ensuring you are fully prepared for the final week leading up to the update's arrival.

Preview of three new skins

If you have been keeping up with ARC Raiders' official updates, you know that the launch of Riven Tides will coincide with the opening of Expedition 3 deployment window, an event accompanied by a host of significant updates to the game's expedition mechanics.

These updates include revisions to the skin rewards offered during previous expeditions. More specifically, if you have participated in all three of the expeditions released to date, you will be eligible to receive the corresponding Evolved versions of those skin sets.

With this in mind, ARC Raiders has released a preliminary look, via social media, at the concept art for this third skin set. The standout piece among them is undoubtedly the one positioned in the center.

The headpiece of this particular skin features a design that obscures the upper half of the face, adorned with distinctive gold armor plating. It is further complemented by a pair of wildly styled gauntlets and clothing accents featuring vibrant, eye-catching colors.

The set on the left resembles a spacesuit, though with a less bulky profile. The entire outfit features a subtle, low-profile gray color scheme, offering extensive coverage; the only exception is the helmet, which features a translucent amber-tinted visor that allows your face to remain visible.

In contrast, the skin on the right adheres to the more conventional Raider combat gear aesthetic. The only distinct feature is the facial ornamentation, which utilizes a unique faceplate paired with a Cyclops-style red laser eyepiece.

Whichever skin you manage to acquire, it is sure to provide a unique flair to your combat experience.

However, please note that in-game skins typically offer no functional advantages or stat boosts; if you are looking to enhance your actual combat capabilities, it's faster and more effective to buy ARC Raiders blueprints on IGGM!

The new teaser and related context

The recently released teaser for Riven Tides clocks in at a mere 15 seconds. Building upon the two map-related images previously revealed via email last week, this teaser offers a deeper look at the interior of Panorama Azzurro, an area expected to serve as the central hub of the new map.

Based on the content of this short video, it is evident that the hotel's interior is even more dilapidated than we had imagined, overgrown with weeds and bearing traces of destruction everywhere.

If you feel this content hasn't quite satisfied your appetite, don't worry; shortly thereafter, the developers released an article titled Riven Tides: Scout Report.

In addition to the two images previously included in the email, the article unveiled four new images bearing the titles: "Pool, Dry", "Beachfront/Bar", "Customs House", and "Stacking Yard".

Both the format and content of the article suggest it serves as a log entry. The author remains anonymous, though they are likely the same individual who penned the entries found in the earlier email, someone who consistently makes reference to Shani.

Notably, some players within the community have used this information to theorize that Shani may not be a entirely trustworthy ally; rather, she could very well be secretly colluding with the human factions that participated in Great Evacuation and fled into space.

To date, ARC Raiders has offered little in the way of further elaboration or introduction regarding the game's overarching narrative and backstory. Perhaps this latest update, delivered through the figure of Shani, will finally provide us with more insight.

The article is structured into two main sections: a general overview, followed by a more detailed introduction to the map's layout presented through pairs of images. Each pair is accompanied by a specific title and descriptive text:

• Approach 18:06: A log entry documenting Panorama Azzurro and the surrounding ruins.
• Exterior, rear 18:39: Appears to depict the map's dilapidated beachfront resort facilities.
• Harbor 19:14: A fully industrialized dockyard, completely devoid of any resort-like atmosphere.

By piecing together these textual descriptions, we can begin to form a preliminary picture of the new map's overall layout: a composite environment formed by two distinct zones with entirely contrasting aesthetics.

The resort facilities zone features a swimming pool and a massive plastic water slide, extending all the way from the hillside down to the beach, which appears to have once served as a water park attraction.

Additionally, the area is strewn with several sun loungers and features a second bar area. It seems the people who once inhabited this place certainly knew how to have a good time and celebrate.

As for Harbor zone, it is a world apart. Dominated by towering cranes that scrape the sky and mountains of stacked shipping containers, the entire environment feels cold, stark, and industrial.

This area offers an abundance of verticality and cover opportunities, making it an ideal playground for players who enjoy creating chaos or adopting a stealth-oriented playstyle.

Ultimately, within the intricate confines of hotels and industrial docks, you can enjoy the thrill of engaging in combat against other players or smaller ARC units; meanwhile, on the open sands of the resort beaches, you may find yourself facing off against the newly introduced, massive ARC enemies.

Interestingly, at the very end of Riven Tides: Scout Report, the chronicler notes that while observing a certain building, he sensed a massive shadow drifting slowly and steadily across the sky, yet when he looked again, he found absolutely no trace of it. This is very likely a teaser regarding the aforementioned massive ARC units.

What can you do this week?

First off, the new Weekly Trials have begun, and as this marks the final round of Season 3, which determines your ultimate ranking, be sure to complete all trials with a 3-star rating before time runs out.

Furthermore, the launch of Riven Tides signifies the conclusion of the collection phase for Expedition 3. If you wish to ensure a successful and complete run of this expedition, remember to verify that you have gathered all necessary materials and coins before the end of the week.

We hope the information provided in this overview proves helpful as you continue your journey in ARC Raiders, especially as you look forward to the exciting new content on the horizon! Best of luck!
