High on Life 2 BALL Guys locations: How to get the BALL Gun explained
If you're playing High on Life 2 and you've spotted the unusable BALL Gun just chilling in your quarters, you might be wondering what that's all about. This weapon was added in the first game's High on Knife DLC, but it's a little harder to get in High on Life 2 - because the BALL Guys, three little blue men who make it work, have gone missing! Finding the BALL Guys will take some effort on your part, as they're all tied to different side missions that you might not stumble upon without knowing where to look. These three little dudes will feed pinball-style balls into the gun for you, but you're going to have to find them first! The BALL Gun is great for crowd control, as it lets you drop down three pinball bumpers, enabling your ball to fly around between them and hit multiple enemies in a row. We've got a video guide to explain the BALL Guys' locations in the player above (or you can watch it on YouTube). Use the time codes below to hunt down each of these BALL Guys and bring them back into the fold of your servitude. 00:14 Ball Guy 1 location 02:56 Ball Guy 2 location 08:18 Get the fishing rod (you'll need it for the next part) 10:03 Ball Guy 3 location 10:52 Pick up the Ball Gun 11:28 Ball Gun gameplay Or if you prefer written guides, we've got you covered below! High on Life 2 BALL Guys locations: How to get the BALL Gun explained If you were hoping that you'd stumble upon the Ball Guys simply by the playing the story, think again! Each Ball Guy is tied up in a different side quest. We've got the key details below to help you tick off each of these jobs. Ball Guy 1 location in High on Life 2 Ball Guy 1 is located in the Harbour area, specifically in the Town. Head there in the RV. When you land, turn right and you will see the building pictured above (a brown building with a curved roof). You will need to use Bowie's special power to open the door and get inside this night club. (If you haven't unlocked Bowie yet, you don't have all the High on Life 2 guns you'll need for this job – you'll have to to push through the main story a bit more before you can tackle this side quest). Once you're in the club, head into the far right corner and speak with the people at the DJ booth to start a dance-off. This Guitar Hero-like rhythm mini game shouldn't take you too long. You'll be given Ball Guy 1 as your reward for completing it. Ball Guy 2 location in High on Life 2 Ball Guy 2 is located Downtown, specifically in the City Plaza area. Head here in the RV. Once you land, go up the flight of stairs to your right (picture above). At the top of the flight of stairs, turn right and walk in that direction until you find a taxi driver asking for help. Pick up his side quest to begin your mission to bring home Ball Guy 2. The taxi driver will ask you to pick up some passengers and ferry them around town. You'll need to look around the Downtown area until you find them all (we counted six, and it didn't seem to matter that we failed with a couple of them). When you're done, return to the taxi driver (he won't have moved from the first place you met him). He'll give you one final challenge, and once you've done that, he'll reward you for your Crazy Taxi shenanigans by giving you Ball Guy 2. How to get the fishing rod in High on Life 2 Before you can get Ball Guy 3, you will need to pick up the fishing rod (who is, of course, a living being called Rod). If you already have this, you can skip to the next section of this article. The fishing rod in High on Life 2 is located in the Harbour region, specifically in the Beach region. Travel there using the RV, and when you land, consult the image above. You'll need to jump across this little bit of water to find the fisherman sat there. Speak to him, and he'll ask your help to dislodge his fishing boat. Turn to the water, and use Travis's special ability to send the boat flying into the air. Once you've done this, the fisherman will give you the rod, parting with his best friend in the process. Ball Guy 3 location in High on Life 2 Ball Guy 3 is located in the Zoo, and you can start at the Gift Shop to begin your hunt for him. Once you're at the Zoo, head to where the player is located in the map above (right down in the bottom right corner). In the bottom right corner of the map, you will find a fishing spot. Settle down here with Rod, and keep fishing until you find a Ball Guy. In our experience, he was the third golden 'fish' that we found in this spot. And if you're new to fishing in High on Life 2, our main tip is to jiggle both sticks on your controller when the fish is nearly caught. This takes some getting used to, but once you understand the process, it gets a lot easier. Now that you have all three Ball Guys, how do you actually get the Ball Gun? Simply return to your quarters, interact with the tank near the white board, and pick up the gun on top of it. You're now free to enjoy one of the most fun guns in the game! Hopefully, you agree that it was worth the effort. And if you'd like to learn more about High on Life 2, check out our big interview with the developers.

How to get all Eevee evolutions in Pokémon Go: Names explained
Here's how to get the Eeveelutions - all eight of them...
You know what they say, 'Gotta catch 'em all,' and keeping in with Pokémon tradition, we have how to get all Eevee evolutions in Pokémon Go and the names needed explained. If you would rather be shown what to do to get the Eeveelutions rather than read through our guide, we have a handy video above for your viewing pleasure. A word of warning, though, getting all eight Eevee evolutions in Pokémon Go requires quite the time investment, but our help should speed things up. It'll be well worth it, too, as Eevee and its Eeveevolutions are some of the most beloved Pokémon of all since the first three variants were introduced to the world back in Pokémon Red and Blue for the original Game Boy in 1996, the first games in the long-running series. But as the different Eeveelutions are all different Pokémon types, we'll need different items for each. And with so much to get through, let's not dilly-dally! What does Eevee evolve into in Pokémon Go? When Pokémon was first released, Eevee only had three evolutions: Vaporeon, Jolteon and Flareon were one of the original 151 Pokémon that debuted in Pokémon Red and Blue in 1996. However, as the years have gone by and more games have come out, more evolutions for the popular Eevee have been released, bringing the grand total of possible evolutions up to eight(!) – more than any other Pokémon. Each Eevee evolution is a different type, so choose carefully: Vaporeon (Water-type) Jolteon (Electric-type) Flareon (Fire-type) Umbreon (Dark-type) Espeon (Psychic-type) Leafeon (Grass-type) Glaceon (Ice-type) Sylveon (Fairy-type) Reckon you're a Pokémon master? Pit your wits against our Pokémon quiz below! View Riddle on the source website How to evolve Eevee into Vaporeon, Jolteon and Flareon Evolving Eevee in the main Pokémon games requires special items, moves and friendship levels – however, in Pokémon Go Eevee can be evolved by feeding it 25 Eevee candy. You can get Eevee candy from catching Eevees, walking with one as a buddy Pokémon and hatching eggs. You can get more for transferring Eevees to Professor Willow! However, this method will only evolve Eevee into either Vaporeon, Jolteon or Flareon at random - if you want a specific evolution, you'll have to try another way... How to evolve Eevee using names By changing the name of your Eevee before you feed it 25 candies, you can get the specific Eevee evolution of your choice. Simply rename your Eevee with the name below that corresponds with your desired evolution, and voila, you'll have your Eevee evolution of choice once you feed it 25 candy: Vaporeon - Rainer Jolteon - Sparky Flareon - Pyro Umbreon - Tamao Espeon - Sakura Leafeon - Linnea Glaceon - Rea Sylveon - Kira These are not random names, either, but rather a nod to the long-running anime TV show. The name trick only works once per evolution, however - for example, if you obtain a Vaporeon through this method, you can't get a second Vaporeon by changing the name of another Eevee, and will have to use a different method instead. How to evolve Eevee into Espeon and Umbreon You can use the name trick if it's an Espeon or Umbreon you're after – but you can also use the method originally used when the two were introduced in Pokémon Gold and Silver. This involved increasing the friendship level with your Eevee, which you can do by setting them as your buddy Pokémon and walking 10km with them. Once you've walked 10km, your Eevee will be ready to evolve, but the time of day will affect which evolution you get. Remember, you need 25 Eevee Candies to evolve an Eevee into an Umbreon or Espeon, no matter which method you use. A daytime evolution will gift you an Espeon, whereas an overnight evolution will fittingly provide the Dark-type Umbreon. Unlike the name exploit, however, you can use this method as much as you like! The game will let you know whether your Eevee will evolve into an Umbreon or Espeon with a little symbol next to the 'evolve' section on the game screen. How to evolve Eevee into Leafeon and Glaceon The name trick works here once again, but the rather specific method below can be used as many times as you like. Firstly, you'll need a particular item - a Mossy Lure if you want a Leafeon, and a Glacial Lure if you'd like a Glaceon. These lure modules are available in the shop but could also be available as Field Research Rewards. While these lures are usually used to attract certain types of Pokémon, they can also influence your Eevee evolution - place one of the lures on a PokéStop and you'll be able to evolve your Eevee if you remain close enough, with the Mossy Lure causing an evolution into Leafeon and the Glacial Lure into Glaceon. Again, this is a reference to Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, where Eevee could be evolved by levelling up near a Moss Rock or Ice Rock. View Affiliate Playlist on the source website How to evolve Eevee into Sylveon Sylveon is the latest Eevee evolution, first introduced in Pokémon X & Y in 2013. Sylveon can be obtained by the name trick (using the nickname 'Kira', or by raising its friendship stats. This can be done by gaining 70 buddy hearts, so that your relationship reaches Great Buddy level. This can be done by walking, playing and battling together, taking a snapshot of your Eevee, visiting a new place together or giving them a treat.

How to complete Thrown to the Dogs quest in Assassin's Creed Shadows
If you're in a game you have an opportunity to pet a dog, you can bet your bottom dollar that we are going to be there, and to help you on your pooch-petting adventures, we’ve got how to complete the Thrown to the Dogs pre-order DLC quest in Assasin’s Creed Shadows explained. If you’d rather watch than read, you can check out a video guide up above from RadioTimes.com Gaming Editor Rob Leane. Petting dogs is just one of the many great things you can get up to in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, as we found in our review. Stopping to do so at every opportunity will, no doubt, make Assassin’s Creed Shadows even longer, as well. But as we’ve already hinted at, this quest requires you to have the right edition of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, so make sure you’re good to go before searching for a dog who will never appear. Be sure to also check out the Twitch Drops for extra free gear! How to unlock the dog quest in Assassin’s Creed Shadows To unlock the Thown to the Dogs quest in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, you need to have pre-ordered the game to get the exclusive bonus DLC and have played the prologue and the period when Naoe is recovering from her injuries. If you haven't pre-ordered Assassin's Creed Shadows, you can also unlock the quest by purchasing the Digital Deluxe Edition or the Collector's Edition. Failing that, we're not sure of any other way to get the quest, unless developers Ubisoft decide to make it free to all sometime in the future. How to complete the dog quest in Assassin's Creed Shadows To complete Thrown to the Dogs in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, you need to head to Tennoji Temple, which is found just east of Osaka. At the temple, head to the top a small mound in the northwestern corner. There’s a blooming cherry blossom tree at the top, so it’s hard to miss. There, the dog will be whimpering next to its master's grave. The exact location of the quest is marked on your map, so it’s easy enough to find. Once you’re at the top, pet the dog and a cutscene will play. Naoe will figure out that the dog used to belong to Ichiro and that the poor pup looks to have been in a scrap. To find the perpetrators, you need to follow the dog down the road. They’ll lead you to three men by a cart on the road. One of these is a Samurai Duelist, who has been searching for Ichiro’s dog and a key. Dispatch them, and follow the dog once more. The dog will take you to a small holding and stop and growl at a woman, Takako, Ichiro’s sister-in-law. She reveals that before dying, Ichiro hid his inheritance and gave his dog the key to open the chest that holds it. Here, you can decide to fight or spare Takako. Next, to find the key, head to the rear of the building that is on your right after the cutscene with Takako plays and chop down any bamboo in your way. This will reveal a secret crawlspace under the building where the key can be found. After this, the dog has vanished, but Naoe reckons they’ve gone back to their master's grave. Return to the grave at the temple and open the box and you’ll then be able to give the dog – Tsuki-maru – a new home. Where is the key in the Assassin’s Creed Shadows dog quest? To find the key in the Thrown to the Dogs quest in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, you need to go to the back of the building that is on your right-hand side when the dialogue with Takako concludes. It’s the building that has an open-walled structure next to it. Behind this building is a thicket of bamboo and you need to slice it all down, revealing a small secret passageway will be revealed. You need to get prone and crawl into the space under the building and you will quickly find the key. After this, you can continue with the rest of the quest.

FC 25 best formations and custom tactics codes explained
FC 25 has been on the shelves for a while now, so we can say with a fair bit of confidence the best formations and custom tactics codes. It's a game about tactics after all, so you'll want to pay heed to this element if you want to excel in Division Rivals or Squad Battles. With the new Player Roles feature, you'll need to pay attention to individual players more. So make sure you've got a Shadow Striker in your squad! If you're struggling to wrap your head around the new features, we'll help out by sharing our favourite tactics. Copy them for now, and you'll soon get the hang of it. We'll also share FC 25 tactics codes to make things super easy. Best FC 25 formations and tactics codes At a glance, the best FC 25 tactics codes to use are: 5-2-1-2 — code: hs6DE6JnsjB 4-1-2-1-2 Narrow — code: L&j@lPnSv#7 4-2-1-3 — code: p#D#E?5&zqJ 3-4-2-1 — code: DZcldmu%NBf 4-2-3-1 Wide — code: xHJFfLF47x$ You can click those links above to learn more about each tactic! Or, if you already fancy yourself a FIFA expert, why not try our quiz below? View Riddle on the source website If you're looking to 'plug and play' some of the best tactics from real-life football, you might want to try these iconic manager tactic codes: Pep Guardiola (Manchester City) — code: 1#P5MKK8#Vp Ange Postecoglou (Spurs) — code: 1HNHjMK@HTp Mikel Arteta (Arsenal) — code: Gce&cabtYk6 Arne Slot (Liverpool) — code: y#Mg#KG?FSm Unai Emery (Aston Villa) — code: &HMma%#A@SA Antonio Conte (Napoli) — code: @ZYRZDUFS7z Carlo Ancelotti (Real Madrid) — code: QcoxzE$YiuE Some players prefer to sit deeper, soak up pressure, and hit teams on the break. Others will prefer to control the ball, dominate the game, and be on the front foot; regardless of how you wish to play, the biggest goal is to win, and the tactics below will help you achieve your goal. One thing to keep in mind is what your players' preferred roles are too; we do recommend you utilise these in the best way possible where you can, so if you have a midfielder who is a better deep-lying-playmaker and we've said to be a box-to-box, try out their preferred position as they will perform better. For more info on each of the tactics we've chosen to recommend, read on! 5-2-1-2 The five-at-the-back formations have defined the early meta in FC 25, with the 5-2-1-2 being among the best formations to use. This formation lets you defend with five players (six if you count the Holding CM) but then quickly transitions into an attack with enough players to overload your opponent on the counter. The three CBs allow you to push the full-backs higher up the pitch as Attacking Wingbacks, adding some width to support the forwards. A double striker attack has also proven deadly in FC 25 so far, and the Shadow Striker CAM is one of the best Player Roles to use for any position. Tactical Preset: Custom Code: hs6DE6JnsjB Formation: 5-2-1-2 Build-up Style: Counter Defensive Approach: Balanced Goalkeeper: Defending, Keeper Left and Right Back: Attacking Wingback, Balanced Centre Backs: Defenders and Defend, Ball-Playing Defender and Defend Central Midfielder: Holding, Defend Central Midfielder: Playmaker, Attack Center Attacking Midfielder: Shadow Striker, Attack Striker: Poacher, Attack Striker: Advanced Forward, Attack Something to keep in mind this year is that some players perform better with specific instructions, so when recruiting, you check whether or not they fit the roles. 4-1-2-1-2 Narrow This formation has been one of the most popular in recent years, but with the new Player Roles in FC 25, this shape has even more options. It’s nice and narrow, offering plenty of control and passing options while also providing some width if you have the right central midfielders. It also allows players to use two strikers, so multiple options operate in the box. Tactical Preset: Custom Code: L&j@lPnSv#7 Formation: 4-1-2-1-2 Narrow Build-up Style: Short passes Defensive Approach: Balanced Goalkeeper: Defending, Keeper Left and Right Back: Fullback, Balanced Centre Backs: Defender and Defend Central Defensive Midfielder: Holding, Roaming Central Midfielders: Box-to-box, Balanced Center Attacking Midfielder: Winger, Balanced Striker: False 9, Build Up Striker: Advanced Forward, Attack Alternatively, you can invert the fullbacks to flood the midfield, offering more passing options if that’s what you prefer. 4-2-1-3 This formation defends in a 4213, but when attacking, switches to a 3331 with one of the midfielders dropping into defence and the full backs coming into midfield. Width comes from the wingers, and the constant rotation of players causes all sorts of chaos. To pull off this formation, it's crucial to have wingers who can go both ways and fullbacks with very good passing so that you can dominate all over the pitch. Tactical Preset: Custom Code: p#D#E?5&zqJ Formation: 4-2-1-3 Build-up Style: Counter Defensive Approach: Balanced Goalkeeper: Defending, Keeper Right back: Falseback, Balanced Left back: Falseback, Balanced Defensive midfielder: Holding, Defend Defensive midfielder: Centre Half, Defend Central Attacking Midfield: Playmaker, Balanced Right Winger: Inside Forward, Balanced Left Winger: Inside Forward, Balanced Striker: Advanced Forward, Attack 3-4-2-1 This formation is more defensively sound, offering little room at the back if you’re countered but also leaving plenty of options in attack for when you get the ball. The key is to have all-rounders, athletic and strong players so you’re potent on the counter-attack. You will be playing a bit deeper, though, and likely to concede the majority of possession. Tactical Preset: Custom Code: DZcldmu%NBf Formation: 3-4-2-1 Build-up Style: Counter Defensive Approach: Defend Goalkeeper: Defend Defenders: Defender, Defend Defenders: Stopper, Balanced Right Midfielder/ Left Midfielder: Wide midfielders, defend Central Midfielders: Box-to-box, Balanced / Deep Lying Playmaker, Defend Center Attacking Midfielder: Shadow Striker, Attack Center Attacking Midfielder: Playmaker, Balanced Striker: Poacher, Attack 4-2-3-1 Wide Right now, this is the most balanced formation around, offering just as much going forward as defending, with plenty of options for a pass and proving hard to break down. The defenders can come inside to provide more in the middle, too, but it will rely on them having a good engine for all the extra running they’re going to do, so stamina is the key. Tactical Preset: Custom Code: xHJFfLF47x$ Formation: 4-2-3-1 Build-up Style: Short Passes Defensive Approach: High Goalkeeper: Defending, Keeper Left back: Fullback, Balanced Right back: Falseback, Defend Centre Backs: Defender, Defend Central Defensive Midfielder: Holding, Defending Central Defensive Midfielder: Holding, Defending Center Attacking Midfielder: Playmaker, Balanced Right Midfielder / Left Midfielder: Inside Forward, Balanced Striker: Advanced Forward, Attack Best manager tactics in FC 25 Ultimate Team Managers in the game have built-in tactics, so if you want to equip one of them and plug and play, as it were, these are some of the best options currently in the game that fit the meta. Mikel Arteta Antonio Conte Thiago Motta Hansi Flick Roberto De Zerbi Enzo Maresca Unai Emery Xabi Alonso Carlo Ancelotti Ruben Amorim Hundreds of managers are in the game, so it is well worth looking at which ones you get in packs to see if any of them fit the particular way you want to play in Ultimate Team. How to enter tactic codes in FC 25 Entering the codes can be a bit of a hurdle, so for that reason we've listed below the best way to do so: Go to your squad in Ultimate Push the left stick in to bring up the Squad Actions Now head to Team Management Scroll over to the Use Code screen Press X/A to import code and then you're good to go Read more on FC 25: FC 25 review: Our final verdict FC 25 ratings: The very best players FC 25 soundtrack: Full list of songs FC 25 wonderkids: Best young players FC 25 strikers: Best forwards to use FC 25 wingers: Best RW and LW FC 25 midfielders: Best CDM, CM and CAM FC 25 defenders: Best CB, RB and LB FC 25 goalkeepers: Best GK Best kits in FC 25: Our favourite shirts FC 25 evolutions: Who should you upgrade?

How to defeat Snoop Dogg in Fortnite: Boss location and gameplay tips
If you'd have told us, eight years ago when it released, that Fortnite would be the gaming hub for hip-hop music, we'd never have believed you. But last year Eminem introduced a new season with an epic performance, and now he's back with more artists of the genre. Fortnite Remix, the current season, brings Slim Shady back, along with Ice Spice and Snoop Dogg. If you want to play as any of them, you'll have to beat them first. So let's take a look at how to defeat Snoop Dogg in Fortnite! We've got a video above or an article below. How to defeat Snoop Dogg in Fortnite Snoop Dogg can be found in the upper levels of the Doggpound, which is at the centre of the map. To defeat him, you'll simply need to avoid his attacks whilst dishing out as much damage as you can. It really is as simple as that! The video below will show you what to do. View oEmbed on the source website As usual with new bosses, loads of players will be rushing to defeat Snoop too, so land and get geared up as quickly as you can. You can use the pillars and platforms to provide some cover from Snoop's powerful attacks. You can also use throwable weapons to chip away at Snoop's health bar from afar. To give you some extra fire power to help Snoop Dogg, chests can be found on the roof or platforms at the upper level of the Doggpound. Once defeated, you can hug Snoop Dogg and pick up his Mythic Drum Gun and Vault key card. Snoop will then become your ally and will follow you around, attacking other players and dropping loot and ammo. How to open Snoop Dogg's vault in Fortnite After eliminating Snoop Dogg, you can open the vault with the Vault Key Card that he drops. The Vault is located in the basement and can be accessed via a staircase in the lobby. Follow these stairs down and then use the key card on the panel to the left of the vault door. The vault door will take a while to open, so keep an eye out for any players who might have been waiting for you to do the dirty work for them. There are a lot of chests in the vault but Snoop Dogg will cover you while you rummage through them. How to get Snoop Dogg skins in Fortnite But how do we actually play as Snoop? As is the case with most skins in games of this ilk, you have to buy one of them from the item shop. The skin itself costs 1,800 V-Bucks, but you can buy the Snoop bundle for 3,500. There's another skin available in the music pass, which you can progress through using any Fortnite XP. While we've got your attention, why not try out our Fortnite quiz below?

How to get Birthday Medallions in Fortnite explained
With Fortnite celebrating its 7th birthday, there are some festivities taking place in-game and so you don't miss out, we've got where to find Birthday Medallions in Fortnite, lest you arrive late to the party. There's been loads of new content being added to Fortnite as of late, such as the Bye Bye Bye Emote and Stark Industries Chests. We'll leave it for you to decide which of those two is the essential must-have... It's not just Battle Royale getting the content treatment, be sure to check out the LEGO Fortnite Klombo update. On the topic of medallions, the Absolute Doom bosses have three medallions to collect. Think you can get all three in a match? But birthdays don't last forever, so let's get straight to it! How to get Birthday Medallions in Fortnite Birthday Medallions can be found in Birthday Presents or from eliminated players. Birthday Presents are randomly placed across the map so there's no specific location to drop to. We found a birthday present in the Nitrodrome after a few minutes of looking. Once you've got a present, throw it and then break it open the spawned in the present and you will find some loot and a Birthday Medallion. View Riddle on the source website The Birthday Medallion randomly spawns in balloons that are attached to you, up to a maximum of three. The more balloons, the higher and further you will float. This is great for giving you an oversight of what's going on on the map, such as spotting Iron Man or War Machine drop ships coming into land and sniping players down below. The War Machine weaponry is lethal when paired with the balloons, as you can fly high and rain fire down from above. You aren't completely invulnerable though, as other players can shoot out your balloons. There is also a Firework Flare Gun that shoots big fireworks to reveal other players' locations, and can be found randomly across the map.

Where to find Stark Industries Chests in Fortnite explained
If you're wondering where to find Stark Industries Chests in Fortnite, boy oh boy, we've got exactly the right article for you. These hotrod-red chests will entitle you to some cool Iron Man (or War Machine) abilities on the map, which are sure to help your battle royale chances. This is part of the ongoing Absolute Doom season in Fortnite, which is packed with Marvel skins including Gwenpool and Iron Man himself. Of course, the locations where you'll find these chests — which you can see in the video guide above — are bound to be busy with other players So be careful out there! Where to find Stark Industries Chests in Fortnite explained There are six spawn locations for the Stark Industries chests in Fortnite. To find a Stark Industries chest in Fortnite, you need to visit one of these locations: West of The Raft North of the Nitrodrome Northeast of Redline Rig South of Reckless Railways Southwest of Doomstadt Southwest of Doom's Courtyard We'd recommend landing at the one furthest away from the Battle Bus's path as they are going to be hotspots for other players. In these chests, you will find either the Iron Man Flight Kit or the Iron Man Combat Kit. If you already have these, you will likely get War Machine loot instead. Flying is a great way to get out of danger, attack from above or make your way to the next Storm Circle. You can fly for a while before needing to cool down. With the Combat Kit, you can use the Unibeam whilst in the air. The Combat Kit has a repulsor attack too. View Riddle on the source website While flying, you can also perform a ram attack. This can easily eliminate players after hitting them with the unibeam. Alternatively, you can pick items up from eliminated players! But that's not a very heroic thing to do, right?

FC 25 best camera settings for Ultimate Team and Career Mode
All 12 camera settings and the best one to get an upper hand over opponents.
As the years have gone on, FIFA and now EA Sports FC have ever expanded their range of options. This includes the number of available camera settings, all of which can change the game quite dramatically. Each option has its range of benefits that can help take your game to the next level, with many players overlooking this easy adjustment. The different perspectives are worth experimenting with to see which one most fits your liking. They can be especially useful for completing specific challenges for earning XP in Ultimate Team or Career Mode. It's a small change that can make a big difference. With that, we've rounded up all the camera settings available in EA FC 25, as well as which one we'd recommend. See our advice below, or in the video above! What camera settings are there in EA FC 25? There are a total of 12 camera settings available in EA FC 25. To change the camera setting to your personal preference, you need to first head to the Main Menu. From here, choose Customise then Settings then Game Settings then, finally, select the Camera option. This can also be found within the pause menu of any match. The full list of cameras can be found below: Broadcast Classic Co-op Dynamic EA Sports GameCam End to End Legacy Pro Tactical Tactical Focus Tele Tele Broadcast What is the best camera setting in EA FC 25? From our experience, we'd recommend the Co-Op camera, as it provides the largest view of the pitch overall. This helps the meta of players to adjust for long through balls, as being able to track runners and adjust for passes can be crucial for getting the edge on an opponent. This is especially useful for Ultimate Team. To reflect this, we can also change the Custom Camera Settings by tuning the following: Height: 20 Zoom: 0 Far Side Focus: 0 Ball Tracking Speed: 0 Penalty Area Zoom: 0 Power Shot Zoom: Off The Zoom/Height/Far Side settings are used to see more of the pitch - however, the Penalty Area and Power Shot are left due to the zoom feature being a bit jarring, in our opinion. As a result, it can be more of a hindrance, therefore putting you off at that vital moment of shooting. The Tele Broadcast camera setting is the default option, providing a view similar to what you would see on TV. That said, it's still worth testing all 12 cameras to figure out which one fits with your play style the best. Still not sure? Check out the video version below to see what to do. View oEmbed on the source website EA Sports FC 25 is scheduled to launch on 27th September 2024 across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and Microsoft Windows.

How to do Siu celebration in FC 25: Ronaldo's celebration explained
Cristiano Ronaldo’s 'Siu' celebration is one of the most iconic celebrations in football (if not the most iconic) – you’d better believe it’s in EA FC 25. We’ve all thought about doing the celebration after scoring in a five-a-side match with our mates, but the fear of twisting your ankle upon landing isn’t worth the embarrassment that inevitably follows. EA knows this - and this is why we can, instead, perform the famous celebration in FC 25 instead of real life. No fear of injury in-game. The Al-Nassr and Portugal striker’s celebration can soon be yours. Read on, or watch the video above, to find out how to do the Siu celebration in FC 25. How to do Ronaldo's Siu celebration in FC 25 To do the Siu celebration in FC 25, you need to press a couple of buttons together after scoring a goal. You should be able to make everyone – not just Ronaldo himself – perform the legendary celebration. Simply press the following buttons after scoring a goal to pop off CR7’s Siu celebration: PS5/PS4 - Hold R1 and press Circle Xbox Series X/S - Hold RB and press B Nintendo Switch - Hold R and press A By pressing the button combinations above, you’ll make any player do the Ronaldo celebration in FC 25. They’ll jump up into the air, pull off a mid-air pirouette, land with their hands out wide and shout "Siu!" – exciting stuff. View Green Video on the source website Ronaldo's Siu celebration explained Cristiano first performed his Siu celebration back in 2013, after scoring for Real Madrid against Chelsea in a pre-season friendly game. Clearly, everyone was taken aback by the celebration’s sheer beauty, poise, and loud shout of "Siu!". Since its inception, the Siu celebration is now seen everywhere, across different sports and stars. We’re sure you’ve seen examples of non-football stars doing the celebration. That Novak Djokovic one at golf’s Ryder Cup all-star match springs to mind. If you’re wondering where the celebration comes from, you’d need to ask CR7 himself. We do know, though, what it means. View Riddle on the source website "Siu" simply means "yes" in Portuguese. So after Ronaldo scores, he jumps in the air and shouts "yes!" – the man doesn’t need any fancy-schmancy words to tell everyone how pleased he is to score goals. He scores enough of them that a simple thumbs-up would suffice as a celebration anyway. FC 25 is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch. You can order a copy from GAME and then shout "Siuuuuuuuuu!" as it arrives in the post.

How to survive fire damage in Fortnite: Doom Battle Pass quest
I don't want to set the world on fire, I just want to start a flame in your gas station.
At the introduction of the Absolute Doom Battle Pass, fans were a bit disappointed to see they couldn't unlock Doctor Doom as a skin, but we now can by completing Doom quests - and we’ve got how to survive fire damage in Fortnite explained to tick one of them off your list! We’ve also made a video detailing how to do it, which you can check out above or on the Radio Times Gaming YouTube channel. As there are no fire-based weapons in Fortnite, you will have to get creative with your means of immolation. Fortunately, the quest tab points us in the right direction, so we don’t have to think particularly hard about it. It’s a lot easier than defeating Doctor Doom or collecting all the Absolute Doom Medallions, that’s for sure. That’s quite enough from us, however, so read on to see just how to survive fire damage to complete the Fortnite Doom quest! How to survive fire damage in Fortnite To complete the 'Survive fire damage' quest in Fortnite, you need to blow up a gas pump and walk in the flames. On the quests tab, track the fire damage quest and this will highlight gas stations on the map. Try to land at the furthest-away gas station to avoid other players trying to complete the quest. Once you land, gear up as quickly as possible to deal with any other players. Ideally, you will want your shields filled up too, so you don’t take damage too quickly. If the coast is clear, shoot the petrol pump to blow it up - but make sure you're not too close! Once it's exploded, walk into the fire just long enough to take damage to complete the quest.

How to use the Holotracker in Star Wars Outlaws explained
Don't feel hollow if you can't work it out.
If you’re struggling to find the vaults in Jet Kordo’s Legacy quest in Star Wars Outlaws, we’ve got how to use the Holotracker explained so you can fulfil your treasure-hunting dreams. We’ve also produced a video detailing exactly how to do it, including the location of the first vault, so be sure to check that out too! Jet Kordo’s Legacy is just one quest that makes up the many missions in Star Wars Outlaws. As we’ll find below, this quest only becomes available after you complete The Wreck and you are able to leave Toshara. While not strictly linked to the plot, it’s well worth going after the hidden vaults, as you can get some really nifty loot and it reveals more of your ship's backstory. So, between playing Sabbac and hunting for treasure, it really does feel that Star Wars Outlaws lives up to the promise of being the perfect scoundrel simulator. But let’s get to it, shall we? How to use the Holotracker in Star Wars Outlaws Once you complete the quest The Wreck, you can find Jet Kordo’s Holotracker on the Trailblazer. After a cutscene, you can bring it up and it will show you a hologram of the location where the secret vault is located. You may need to do a bit of sightseeing to pinpoint exactly where, but it does make you feel like a proper adventurer pulling over to try and match up the topography. If you’re stuck, though, you can find the first vault just south-west of Typhon’s Rock, which itself is south-east of Jaunta’s Hope, as can be seen in the screenshot above. Once you arrive at the location, pop over to the painted rock and isolate the frequency. The Holotracker now acts as a homing beacon that beeps when you’re looking in the direction of the source. The beeping will be coming directly ahead of the painted rock, so follow the sound until you get to a cave at the bottom of a pit. Hop on down there, and the source is directly on your left as you enter the cave. Insert the holodisk and this will drop a ladder from the cave’s ceiling. Climb up, and read the datapad to reveal that there are other vaults hidden across the galaxy. Pick the lock and then open the container. After a short conversion with ND-5, they recommend that finding the rest of these vaults could be worth it. Once you’ve found the vault, the Holotracker won’t show a location anymore on Toshara, so you need to get out there in the galaxy and explore.

The Wreck in Star Wars Outlaws: Full mission walkthrough
Are you a wreck trying to complete this one?
In your final quest before leaving Toshara, you will need to speak to Waka, who can be found in a bar in Mirogana, to complete the quest The Wreck in Star Wars Outlaws - and we’ve got a full walkthrough so you can get it done in a jiffy. As well as a written guide (like the good ol’ days), we’ve also created a video guide detailing how to do it, which you can check out above on or on YouTube. But in The Wreck, Waka tells Kay that he needs a Nav Computer for the Trailblazer’s Hyperdrive from an old ship, but Kay will first need to get a Class Eleven Power Core to get access. Of course, before all of this, you will have needed to upgrade your Speeder to get the speed boat, which is also a requirement for the 60 metre long jump challenge. But this is quite the quest, so let’s get straight to it! How to get the Class Eleven Power Core in Star Wars Outlaws This Power Core is located at an Imperial Compound found at the top left corner of the map. Fast travel to Jaunta’s Hope and use the Speeder to get the rest of the way. As you approach the Comm Station, veer left and drive to a rocky cliff just in front of the Turbo Blaster. Climb up the wall and sneak past the Stormtroopers and Imperial Officer guarding the gun. Make a break to the north run alongside the next cliff face and avoid the sentries above. Hug the wall and make your way up the path and avoid any patrols. Follow the next cliff face towards the base until you get to a climbable one. Go up here and make sure you are crouched. You will see the main entrance to the compound ahead of you guarded by an AT-ST and many Stormtroopers. To the left is an opening in the rock face with patrolling Viper Probe droids. Avoiding the sightline of the AT-ST, sneak up to the long grass by the mouth of the entrance. Wait for the Droid to come and stop and sneak past it. If you have a splicing kit, you can drop down and open the ventilation grate at the bottom. If not, veer left, and wait until the other Viper Probe Droid has flown away. Using your Blaster’s Ion Module, you can knock out this droid and the other one patrolling the side of the cliff without alerting the base. Make the jump across the gap, climb up the wall and you will see the base before you. There is a point to swing your grappling hook from, but make sure to knock out the patrolling Stormtrooper making their rounds. Once they’re down, swing into the base. In the centre of this platform is a spot for Kay to lower herself down, but it’s in direct line of sight of a Stormtrooper. Wait for your stun module to recharge, or use Nix to distract them and lower yourself down. You are now in the engineering bay, and there are two Imperial technicians facing away from you. Use Nix to attack the one further away and knock out the one closer to you, then knock out the next one. Use Nix to open the door that the technicians were facing and take the Power Core and then climb out. If you didn’t knock out the Stormtrooper, it will go slow-motion and you can use the Blaster’s stun mode to knock them out. Swing your way back across and go back to the entrance you came from. From a distance, use the Ion Module to knock out the Viper Probe Droid, call your Speeder and get out of there. You shouldn’t be chased. How to get the nav-computer in The Wreck Next, fly to the location marker on the map and it will take you to the mouth of a cave that has strong winds preventing you from entering. To get in, use the speed boost on the Speeder and fly through to the end of the tunnels. You will eventually come across a closed door. Insert the power core in the module left of the door, then use your Ion Module to power it with the power node left of that. You’re now standing in front of the crashed High Republic Cruiser. Follow the path and climb up until you get to the spot to the right of the engine. Grapple hook your way up, and then swing across the gap that is on your left. You will need to swing again and then climb across the broken exterior of the ship until you get to a spot with a small gap. Squeeze through and then jump the gap in front of you. Go right and climb up the small wall and then jump the gap to your right and climb up. Turn right and swing across the gap with your grappling hook and walk through until you get to a spot to grapple down. Go all the way down and then the floor will collapse with Kay sliding down. Follow the hallway and swing across the gap onto the climbable wall. Traverse right and jump onto the next handholds and up into the ship. Once inside, go straight until you reach the edge and then right up the fallen walkway until you get to a partially open door. Use your Ion Module to power up the power node and go through. Jump across to the climbable wall, traverse to the left and then continue climbing up, where you will see another closed door. This door has two power nodes which you need to use your blaster’s Ion Module on. Follow the path and drop down and you will find yourself in the reactor room. Go to the right and climb up the wall, traverse left and pull yourself up to the next platform. Walk to the end of this platform and jump across to the handhold. Traverse left around this until you’re at the next gangwalk. Walk along and the platform will collapse, causing Kay to slide down. You need to time your jump right and take it to the next walkway. You will make the jump if you leave it to the last second. To your right are three hanging platforms. Jump across these to the last one and then look at the wall directly to your left, where you will see some handholds. Jump across and then traverse along to get to where the rock face is visible with light pouring in. Lower yourself down to the next section and walk through the hallway. The elevator to the bridge will be on your right, but it is currently inactive. Walk to the end of the hallway, turn right and lower yourself down. Go left through the door and onto the walkway. Follow the walkway on the right until it collapses and causes you to slide down. Walk around to the other side of the reactor core until you get to a platform jutting out. Lower yourself down, and walk over to the reactor. Flip the switch and go to the right where a ladder has lowered. Climb up and walk around until the next climbable section. Climb up, then run around until you get to a terminal. Interact with it and then panels will open on the reactor. These will open and close, so you need to jump up and traverse along it before they shut. Jump up and traverse right until the end and then jump across to a climbable section. Repeat the same action but going left and then pull yourself up. Flip the switch and this will be the reactor core fully powered up.

A platform will stick out, and you need to leap from it to the platform below and then swing across the gap. Follow the walkway to the door, turn right and follow the hallway until you get to the now powered-up lift to your right. Take the lift, follow the corridor and then interact with the computer on your left. Once the dialogue is finished, turn right and go through the open door, then swing across the gap in the platform. Go through the open door, turn left and then right. In this room, there is a destroyed wall you can walk through to your left. Go through and you will be met with two lifts. Go to the end of the room and shoot the power module above the closed door to bring the right-hand lift down. Get on and then shoot the power module to lift it back up again. Once it’s stopped, jump across to the other lift and shoot the power module next to it. Once at the top, leap across to the platform down below. Here, there is machinery that closes very quickly. Wait until they start to open again and run through, then climb up the wall at the end to the next platform. Here, you need to jump onto the same machinery when they are closed. Hop from one to the next and then onto a climbable wall. Climb up until you reach the next level. From here, turn right and walk until you get to a small gap and squeeze through. You are now in the ship’s bridge. Run across to the nav station directly in front of you and interact with it. You need to give yourself permission first, though, so after this, run to the other side and interact with that computer. Once you do, two Zerek Besh agents will enter the room. Crouch behind the computer and wait until the agent on the left is next to an explosive barrel. Shoot the barrel and then take out the agent who is on your right flank. After this, head over to the first computer terminal and get the nav computer. This will trigger a cutscene where Kay mashes the controls, causing the ship to leer and break up. After the cutscene, run straight ahead and jump the gap. Keep running and then the floor will collapse, causing Kay to slide down. Get up, turn right and enter the room. Two Zerek Besh agents are standing next to an explosive barrel directly ahead of you on the next floor up. Shoot the barrel and then proceed to the doorway to the left. Go through the door and keep running until the ceiling ahead collapses, and then go through a gap to your right and past the blockage. After this, another cutscene will play, and you will end up sliding out the engine of the cruiser back to where we first entered the wreck. Hop on your Speeder and drive or fast-travel back to the landing pad at Mirogana and board the Trailblazer, where another cutscene will play, concluding The Wreck. And that’s that! You’ll now be free to leave Toshara and explore the rest of the Core Worlds. Check out more of our Gaming coverage or visit our TV Guide and Streaming Guide to find out what's on.

Astro Bot review: Corporate synergy, but make it cute!
Is Astro’s biggest adventure the best one yet?
Astro Bot, the cutesy little blue and white robot, seems to have become PlayStation’s official mascot in recent years. He debuted in Astro Bot Rescue Mission, a 2018 PSVR game where you guide the adorable bot through a variety of imaginative platforming levels on a quest to collect his equally adorable little friends around the galaxy. Then, in 2020, it was quite a meteoric rise for Astro Bot. His next game, Astro’s Playroom, was provided for free to every single PS5 owner, helping them get to grips with the new console’s many upgrades. Suddenly, Astro Bot was something of a household name. In 2020’s Astro’s Playroom, surrounded by relics from PlayStation’s hardware history, you guide the adorable bot through a variety of imaginative platforming levels on a quest to collect his equally adorable little friends around the galaxy. And now, with both of those previous games being pretty much universally beloved, Sony has tasked the developers from Team Asobi with crafting Astro Bot’s biggest adventure yet. But is it the best one? We’d say yes. It’s certainly the most complete-feeling entry in the franchise. But it’s not without flaws. In terms of the basic set-up, there’s no prizes for guessing that you guide the adorable bot through a variety of imaginative platforming levels on a quest to collect his equally adorable little friends around the galaxy. Third time around, we should say upfront that the shtick is starting to feel less overwhelmingly joyously surprising and more like a nice little treat that you knew was coming. And with so little story to cling onto (the game has no real voice acting, the villain is a bland gargling alien, and the main quest is the exact same as the previous two games), it is hard to form an emotional attachment to Astro Bot. Story is rarely the main attraction in a platformer, of course, but it is particularly light here. My main motivation to keep playing was curiosity — what will be the fun little twist in the next level? — while my wife’s playthrough is more geared around being a completionist and collecting every little thing that’s available. This time around, those collectables are largely geared around PlayStation’s software history, though we’ve been asked not to spoil too many of the surprises on that front. One example that has been confirmed ahead of time is that Kratos from God of War is in the game, in Bot form, so that gives you an idea of what to expect. Some of these cameos feel like really fun moments, celebratory high-fives with the fans who love all these characters and will be happy to see them pop up. Other cameos, however, leave less of a pleasant aftertaste. When you see a character rolled out here, even though Sony hasn’t used them for years and seemingly has no plans to bring them back for a new game on their own, it does feel a bit odd to try and high five those particular fans. There are also characters in here that, while you might remember playing their classic games on PlayStation consoles back in the day, aren’t owned by Sony at all. If you’re the type of player that keeps track of industry acquisitions, this can also be a bit distracting, and it does somewhat make the game’s overall pitch a bit less clear. Is this a celebration of PlayStation, or just gaming in general? Astro Bot’s saving grace, thankfully, is its gameplay. If you’re a fan of platformers, you’ll find some great examples of it here. There are a wide variety of enemies to navigate and skills to master as you galavant around the galaxy collecting gaming icons. With both of Astro’s previous games being pretty short, it’s so welcome to have a wider galaxy to explore here. There are different nebulas you can visit, each of which will have multiple levels and a big boss battle at the end (which can be quite challenging). There are also hidden levels and mini challenges to uncover as you go. It’s hard to stress in words quite how fun the gameplay can be here. If you’ve ever enjoyed a Crash Bandicoot or a Spyro game, this is the modern version of that, with heaps of imagination being poured into the level design. My only qualm with the gameplay, or suggestion for the next game, is that it would be cool to have more than one gameplay mechanic with you at a time. Swapping between them would be next-level stuff. The graphics are impressive, it’s worth mentioning, with some really lovely vistas. The game also makes great sense of the DualSense controller features. And the music is really best in class stuff, with original electro-pop anthems playing all the time. The lyrics are often packed with jokes, too! If you played Astro’s previous two games, you might notice some returning mechanics and reused ideas. But there’s so much else here, so much additional content, that you’ll soon get over any grumbles about that. The joy you feel when you master a platforming segment, or overcome a tricky boss, is exactly what the doctor ordered. It’s also nice to see a game so focused on joy. In an age where many games opt for mature themes, tragic deaths and grim dystopias, this is a reminder that gaming can also pull your heartstrings in a happy direction. The game does have an overall vibe of 'corporate synergy, but make it cute', but it’s hard to complain too much when you’re having this much fun. Astro Bot launches 6th September on PS5. You can order your copy now. Read more on PlayStation: The very best PS4 & PS5 games Can you play PS4 games on PS5?

How to win Sabacc in Star Wars Outlaws: Card game explained
You might need to take a Sabacc-ical to learn the game.
Like any true scoundrel, Kay can pass the time playing card games in seedy bars and we have how to play Sabacc in Star Wars Outlaws explained so you can live your best ne'er-do-well life in the galaxy. We've also created a video guide detailing it above which we would highly recommend watching as the game is best explained when shown how to do it. As we discovered in our Star Wars Outlaws review, it's not a perfect game by any means, but Sabacc is one of its highlights and we could easily spend hours chasing Pure Sabacc. It should be noted that the version found in Outlaws is actually known as "Kessel Sabacc" and is a simplified version of Sabacc as we have known in Star Wars yore. If you get good at it, it's a great way to earn some extra cash to buy new upgrades and outfits. But, you are probably banging your head trying to figure out how to play the darn thing so we won't keep you. Read (or watch) on to see how to become the best Sabacc player in the Core Worlds! How to win Sabacc in Star Wars Outlaws In Sabacc, you want to have the lowest possible hand value, zero, known as Sabacc in a two-card hand with a card each from the Sand or Blood suit with the value of your hand being dictated by subtracting the lower value from the higher one. In Sabacc, you will need a buy-in which will increase when playing against more experienced players You have four card piles to draw from, a known or random Sand card and a random or known Blood card. Drawing a card costs one token You should usually opt to remove the card with the highest value as you have a better chance of winning the closer you are to zero There are a few special cards to choose from, such as the Imposter and Sylops cards. Imposter cards take on the value of a dice roll at the end of a round. A Sylop card will match the value of the other card. Two Sylop cards is 'True Sabacc' and is the best hand in the game. If you finish a round with a Sylop card and a numerical card, this is known as 'Sylop Sabacc'. Keep an eye on what cards the other players are drawing as it will clue you in on their hand. If you are happy with your hand, you can pass your turn by selecting 'Stand'. If you lose, you will lose any taxed chips. If you get Sabacc, you gain them back. You are taxed the difference between your two cards. If your hand was a five and four, you would be taxed one token, for instance. Shift Tokens are effect cards which can save you Draw Tokens, refund spent Tokens or tax them from other players. Shift Tokens can be played by your opponents, too. To gain an advantage, you can send Nix to peek at other players' hands, but you can get caught which will arouse suspicion. If players become too suspicious, you will be temporarily banned from the table. As you continue to play the game, you will unlock more abilities and Shift Tokens to use throughout.

Best loadouts in CoD BO6: Beta meta explained
The best loadouts are key to success in Black Ops 6.
Mastering the best loadouts in Call of Duty makes all the difference in the heat of battle. For Black Ops 6, players have already managed to establish an early meta during the opening beta weekend as a handful of weaponry continues to dominate the action. With so many different weapons to use across each of the maps and game modes, picking the strongest loadouts can be a tricky task. Thankfully, we've assembled all of the information on the best Black Ops 6 loadouts and which attachments to select for maximum performance. Let's take a closer look! The article is down below, and there's also a video version above. What is the meta in the CoD BO6 beta? The Jackal PDW is the meta in the Black Ops 6 beta. Armed with a lethal rate of fire, this submachine gun (SMG) provides players with excellent damage output in addition to low levels of recoil. The lack of recoil allows anyone using the Jackal PDW to excel in close-quarters, mid-range and long-distance engagements. Its high mobility is also proving popular when paired with Omnimovement. Players can sprint, slide and dive at breakneck speeds giving the enemy no time to react. Check out the video below, or keep reading, for more details! View oEmbed on the source website Best loadouts in CoD BO6 Alongside the Jackal PDW, there are other weapons that are giving it a run for its money. We've spent some time testing them and finding the best attachment combinations for players to use. Jackal PDW Muzzle: Compensator Barrel: Long Barrel Magazine: Extended Mag II Rear Grip: CQB Grip Stock: Balanced Stock This build for the Jackal PDW minimises recoil even further along with any damage drop-off that occurs at longer distances. The choice of Stock attachment also improves mobility, giving players a little extra speed to outplay any fast-moving opposition. XM4 Optic: Prismatech Reflex Muzzle: Muzzle Brake Barrel: Reinforced Barrel Rear Grip: CQB Grip Stock: Heavy Stock The XM4 is an excellent all-rounder in Black Ops 6 thanks to its impressive versatility. Its mobility isn't as good as the Jackal but packs a deadly punch in mid-range combat thanks to its strong damage output. The lack of recoil and flinch is a huge bonus too. Players can land their shots with ease even when being hit by shots from the enemy. C9 Muzzle: Compensator Barrel: Reinforced Barrel Underbarrel: Lightweight Foregrip Rear Grip: CQB Grip Stock: No Stock The C9 resembles the iconic MP5 from previous Call of Duty titles. This build reduces the kick generated by its fast fire rate while ensuring mobility levels remain high. It may not be as popular as the Jackal PDW, but this SMG is more than capable of topping the scoreboards when in the right hands. Are you the ultimate operator? Try our Call of Duty quiz to find out!

How to beat the Rancor boss battle in Star Wars Outlaws
You’ve been caught in Jabba’s Palace and he’s fed you to the Rancor. Oops! If you're wondering how to defeat the Rancor boss battle in Star Wars Outlaws, you've come to the right place. This may feel somewhat familiar if you fought a Rancor in Jedi: Survivor last year. But if you remember the Return of the Jedi film, you'll know that Jabba's Rancor can't be killed at this point in the Star Wars timeline. The Rancor doesn't take damage from your blaster shots, either, so what's the play here? Keep on reading, or check out the video above, and we'll tell you what to do. How to beat the Rancor boss battle in Star Wars Outlaws To defeat the Rancor in Star Wars Outlaws, you need to shoot the red barrels above you that are circling the room on an elaborate pulley system. If you explode a barrel when it is near the Rancor, this will enrage the creature, which is exactly what you want! When the Rancor is mad, it will charge at you. When this happens, you want to lure the Rancor into charging at the big door that Kay is trying to escape through. Check our video guide below to see exactly what we mean! View oEmbed on the source website Shooting the barrels, making the Rancor mad, and luring the Rancor into bashing the exit — that's the core crux of your strategy here! That being said, the Rancor boss battle in Star Wars Outlaws is split into three phases, and each one is slightly more complicated than the last. Read our tips below. Phase one Shoot the fuel barrels above, and wait near the door. When the Rancor gets mad and charges at you, dodge-roll out of the way so he hits the door. This will trigger the next phase. Phase two Wait for the barrels to come back online. Just survive until they do! Don’t worry too much about the gang members that are suddenly attacking you — the Rancor can kill them too. When the barrels come back online, repeat the technique from phase one. Phase three Use Nix to scan the area and you’ll see where the electrical lever is. It's on a platform above. Send Nix to turn it back on. Note that your electric gun won't do the trick here. Only Nix can get the electricity back on! When the power is back and the barrels return, repeat the technique from phase one — shoot the barrels, smash the door. Once you've done that for the third time, you’ll be free to have a fairly underwhelming trip into Jabba’s throne room. And that's it! It can be quite tricky to get the hang of dodging in this scenario, but everything will click into place once you have that move in your locker. Once you've defeated the Rancor, don't forget to post on social about it! That's what the game's star, Humberly González, did anyway...

How to leave Toshara in Star Wars Outlaws: First planet quest explained
Bicycles for children are one thing, but nobody likes training wheels when it comes to video games. And in this week's big new game, Star Wars Outlaws, you might find yourself stuck on its tutorial planet — the beautiful but somewhat barren Toshara — for quite a long time. After a brief intro on Canto (the casino planet you'll remember fondly from The Last Jedi), our hero Kay Vess crash-lands on Toshara and stays there for 100 years. Or that's how it starts to feel, anyway. If you've been exploring Toshara for hours and feel ready to leave for other planets like Tatooine or Kijimi, you might start to wonder, how the frack do I get off this rock? Read on to find out, or watch the video explainer above! How to leave Toshara in Star Wars Outlaws To leave Toshara in Star Wars Outlaws, you need to progress the main story until you complete the mission entitled 'Hyperspace'. In Kay's Journal (found in the menu), the main story quest is always at the top of a list in a bigger font than the rest. To get to the Hyperspace mission and get your butt off of Toshara, these are the main quests you need to see through: Crashed Underworld New Tricks False Flag The Wreck Hyperspace In the False Flag mission, you will briefly leave the planet, but only to visit an Imperial space station nearby. After that spacefaring sojourn, you'll be sent back to Toshara, where you'll stay until the Hyperspace mission.

How to perform a 60 metre long jump without being ejected in Star Wars Outlaws
There are plenty of challenges that unlock new abilities for Kay Vess, and we’ve got how to perform a 60 metre long jump without being ejected in Star Wars Outlaws explained - along with a good location so that you can unlock the speeder jump. We’ve also made a video demonstrating this above if you are more of a visual learner! All these rewards and challenges will go a long way towards helping you to earn all of the Star Wars Outlaws trophies, though you might need a helping hand to master the Star Wars Outlaws lockpicking minigame to see you over the line. At least while Kay stumbles through the galaxy, you’ll have a stellar soundtrack that scores this entry in the Star Wars timeline. But that’s quite enough from us! Read on to see how and where to perform a 60 metre speeder jump in Star Wars Outlaws! Star Wars Outlaws 60 metre jump location After you have completed Selo’s quest and unlocked the speed boost, the 60 metre jump challenge becomes available - and a good spot to complete it can be found just west of Kadua Village in a river valley. We’ve highlighted where in the screenshot of the map above. As you can see, it’s a short drive from Selo’s workshop as well. Once you get there, there is a jump ramp that follows the mouth of a cave. On the run-up to your jump, watch out for any speeders that go by, as you can easily crash into them. You will want to use your boost for this jump, too, when you’re closer to the ramp. The drop is big enough to let you get some distance, but not so big Kay will be flung off her speeder. Once you land the jump, Kay will unlock the ability to perform a small jump on her speeder - which is great for hopping over obstacles.

Star Wars Outlaws lockpicking explained: How to master the lockpick minigame
If you’re struggling to get Kay Vess to wrangle the Data Spike, we’ve got Star Wars Outlaws lockpicking explained so that you know how to master the lockpick minigame. You certainly don’t want to get bogged down with it, as that'll stop you from going off and exploring all of the Star Wars Outlaws planets and hearing more of the spectacular soundtrack as you make your way through the game’s many missions. Some of the Star Wars Outlaws trophies are related to Data Spiking too, so if you’re a completionist, you will have to stick with it. But with all that said, you’ve probably just had to step away from the game and take a deep breath on your 90th attempt to pick a lock, so let’s get to it! Star Wars Outlaws lockpicking explained Locks in Star Wars Outlaws can be picked by Kay Vess using her Data Spike, which gets repaired in the opening act of the game. The lockpicking mechanic itself is a sort of mini-rhythm game that will feel right at home for anyone who played Audiosurf back in the day. Some locks are much simpler than others, but containers and doors that hold juicier loot behind them will have fairly tricky locks. Kay will be vulnerable when picking locks, though, so make sure to look around you to see if anyone is coming. Fortunately, with some patience, you can get into the flow of these - and we have got some top tips to help you do this just below, so keep reading!

How to master the lockpick minigame in Star Wars Outlaws To master the lockpick minigame in Star Wars Outlaws, we have a few suggestions to help you along: Try to match the count of the beat by tapping your feet, clicking your fingers or whatever works easier for you We found following the beat out loud massively helped too, though it may be a little off-putting to anyone around you If you struggle to follow the audible beat, keep an eye on the flashing yellow light and try and match that instead If you’re really struggling, there is a help button that will bring up a helper that will enable a better visual guide You can also reduce the difficulty of Data Spiking in the settings menu It’s a lot easier with a mouse than with a controller, so unfortunately console players are going to be up against it.

Star Wars Outlaws review: A fun if limited trip to a galaxy far, far away
In a galaxy, far, far away, Star Wars Outlaws is a good game that was marketed properly, and was not let down by unrealistic expectations that should have been tempered - but here we are. In the run-up to its launch, the game has oft been described as 'GTA in space', which isn’t exactly right. Developer Massive Entertainment and publisher Ubisoft never said that it was, in all fairness, but nor did they effectively quell any notions that it wasn't. Yes, there is a 'wanted' system, and you will have credits skimmed off you when you die, but the game is far too restrictive with far too many guard rails up to make it feel anything close to GTA. You can’t just walk into a cantina and start blasting (Han shot first), and NPCs feel very static and unreactive, making them essentially set-dressing who don’t really acknowledge you in any way. Don’t get me wrong, it’s incredible the first time you arrive at Mirogana and see dozens of people milling about. The atmosphere is so thick and is by far the best-realised Star Wars environment in a game, but it doesn’t last for long - as you begin to realise that you’re under strict rules without much room to experiment. If not GTA, then what? Assassin's Creed meets Uncharted meets a very stripped-back Mass Effect is probably the closest you can get. There is a wide-open world filled with endless fetch-quests, places to explore and things to do, but the closer you look, the more you realise you’re boxed in with quite strict limitations. Fortunately, you can just crack on with the story if you want to, making it feel like a much more linear and focused experience where a more static world would make more sense, but there is the added freedom of different paths you can go down – more on that later. Once the game is in full swing, there’s quite a satisfying gameplay loop to be found. You can, of course, go in guns blazing, but you won’t last long if you’re not using the cheesiest of exploits. Stealth is clearly what Massive Entertainment had in mind for the game, and there are robust enough mechanics to support it. It’s no Metal Gear Solid, mind you, but you gain more and more abilities along the way, such as trying to talk yourself out of situations to buy time and throwing smoke bombs for a quick escape. The same can be said for the shooting. It is competent enough to begin with, but comes more into its own as you upgrade Kay’s abilities. Ship combat is fine but it feels like it serves as a means to an end. The controls are a little fiddly but it’s compensated by the fact that it’s quite forgiving. Upgrading the Trailblazer helps, but ultimately it is literally and metaphorically a vehicle to progress the story and visit new locations. Nix, Kay’s Merqaal companion, is utterly delightful and feels like Star Wars’ answer to everyone's favourite Disney alien, Stitch. Not only are they cute, but they are immensely useful and make up a large part of the gameplay, with Nix able to pickpocket enemies, access buttons and switches that are otherwise unreachable and more. View Green Video on the source website You can even dress him up, too. Our review copy came with the – albeit controversial – Ultimate Edition cosmetics, and as soon as I could, I gave Nix some safety goggles. You would if you could. The most interesting aspect of gameplay by far, though, is the reputation system. It’s quite the balancing act, and it really makes it feel like your decisions matter. It’s not so much an exercise in keeping everyone happy as it is keeping them content enough so they won’t kill you. Being a scoundrel interacting with other scoundrels, Kay is frequently presented with the choice to double-cross people, and this offered up the most interesting gameplay experience in our opinion. The graphics, of course, are stunning, and go a long way towards distracting you from some gameplay's shortcomings. Oftentimes, I would get off my speeder to pause and admire the sun setting across Toshara. It was at these moments when it truly felt like everything Massive Entertainment had worked towards came together. All of the planets and stations you visit offer these breathtaking moments, many of which harken back to iconic stills from the films. This all comes at the price of performance, however. If you are playing on PC, the ray-tracing features are quite heavy, but are well worth it if you have the horsepower. The graphics have been quite buggy, though, making it feel like the game is coming in quite hot. A pre-release patch appears to have fixed a lot of it, but some issues still persist. View Affiliate Playlist on the source website Backing up the gorgeous visuals is great sound design and music that hits all the right Star Wars notes. Really, it’s quite easy to please us Star Wars fans. A screaming TIE fighter, some blasters and we’re happy. Massive Entertainment has, of course, done more than that, and there are epic orchestral tracks and the most satisfyingly crunchy sci-fi sounds that tie it all up nicely. Unfortunately, one of the biggest flaws of Star Wars Outlaws is protagonist Kay Vess herself. That is not to say she is a bad character, as such, but not enough is done to establish her story and give us a reason to care early on. It feels as though the game requires you to have massively bought into all the media and PR that has preceded release. The 'adorkable' character trope wears thin very quickly, too. Kay Vess is a fugitive who has stolen a prized ship from a deadly crime syndicate and will not hesitate to massacre anyone who gets in her way. When you have just raided an Imperial Forward Operating Base and killed 40 stormtroopers, it feels a little odd when Kay returns to her employer all finger-guns and shrugs. Fortunately, as the game progresses, Kay becomes a bit more serious. When more and more characters are introduced to the player (we don’t want to spoil who), the relationship between them all helps carry Kay along. It gets to a point where you really do feel like a rag-tag operation trying to carve a life out for yourselves in the big bad galaxy. When taken in its entirety, Star Wars Outlaws is a good game that does a lot right, but it might not be the one you were expecting if you had bought into the pre-release hype. If you want a good romp across the galaxy with set-pieces and a competent story that carries you forward, you will probably have a good time. If you were expecting a free-form GTA-like open-world game with endless possibilities, then perhaps this isn’t the game you’re looking for.

Fortnite Medallions: Boss locations and tips (Mysterio, Emma Frost, Doombot)
Does your chain hang low from all those medallions?
If you want to have the upper hand in the final circles, Fortnite Medallions can give you the competitive edge you need - and we’ve got the boss locations of Mysterio, Emma Frost and Doombot so that can find them, and tips for how to defeat them. We’ve got a video up above, too, that shows off how we did it, if you would rather have a visual aid for navigating Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4. We also have a more in-depth guide on how to defeat Doombot if you’re really struggling with them. But onto the Medallions! We’ve gone over each to explain what it is they do, but all three are really useful to have. If you don’t manage to get them yourself, it’s quite likely you’ll come across players who did (or picked them up from someone else), so keep a close any on any dropped loot when you eliminate other players. There’s plenty to go over, though, so read on (or watch on) for the good stuff! Where are the Medallions in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4? The Medallions in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4: Absolute Doom are at Castle Doom, Doomstadt and The Raft. Doombot, who possesses Doombot’s Medallions, is found at Castle Doom, which is located at the top-right of the map where the Classy Courts were found last season. Mysterio and his Medallion can be found in Doomstadt, which is located in the top-middle area of the map where the Lavish Lair used to be. Emma Frost and her Medallion are at The Raft in the middle-left portion of the map, where the Pleasant Piazza once stood. Finding them is one thing, but getting the Medallions is another thing altogether. Read on to see how to beat them! Fortnite boss tips: Emma Frost, Mysterio and Doombot Each boss requires a slightly different strategy in terms of approach, but one thing is the same across all three: loads of players will descend upon them and the new POIs, so you may have a harder time dealing with them than many other bosses. Doombot Doombot resides in the throne room of Castle Doom at the eastern end of the complex. We’d recommend landing left of the gatehouse and taking the path that hugs the northern castle walls. This route will mostly be inside, preventing any would-be snipers from taking pot shots, and has a number of Loot and Marvel/Doom Chests along the way to get geared up. While we've got your attention... reckon you're a Fortnite expert? Try our quiz below! View Riddle on the source website Mysterio In our experience, Doomstadt was the busiest POI of all. While a little cheesy, we’d recommend taking cover, gearing up and waiting for other plays to eliminate each other first before emerging to mop the rest of them up. Keep a close eye on Mysterio as he will create copies of himself to distract you, but it is possible to track who is who when he does this, if you pay attention. Emma Frost The Raft isn’t far off from Doomstadt in terms of how busy it is. We recommend you try and land at the watch tower at the north-western end of the complex. There is usually a Loot Chest in here with a Marvel Chest a floor below. Similarly to Doomstadt, it’s best to gear up and wait out the bulk of the fighting. Be careful, though, as some players will hide inside Emma Frost’s chamber, and will lie in wait until you’ve whittled her health down. We found retreating to the prison cells that line the cafeteria and camping in there provided cover and a way of funnelling Frost and her henchman into your line of fire. What do the Medallions do in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4? Below is what each Medallion in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 does! Doombot's Siphon Medallion When equipped, this Medallion allows you to absorb other players’ shields when you damage them, and you also regenerate health when you eliminate them. Mysterio's Stealth Medallion This Medallion gives you temporary invisibility when you are crouched. It will disable when you stop crouching or attack. This one is very useful for when there is limited cover in the final circles. Emma Frost's Reveal Medallion This Medallion can reveal the location of nearby enemies, temporarily allowing you to get the drop on them. Like Mysterio’s Medallion, this one is really useful in the final circles as you desperately try to find the other remaining players.

How to defeat Doctor Doom in Fortnite: Boss location and tips
The latest season is all about Marvel and we now have Doctor Doom in Fortnite as the big bad villain. Luckily, we’ve got the boss location and how to beat him information for you right here. If you’d rather see how it’s done, we’ve produced a video detailing how we managed to pull it off just above. We have loads more Fortnite content coming for Chapter 5 Season 4: Absolute Doom so make sure you’re subscribed to the Radio Times Gaming YouTube Channel so that you don’t miss a beat. Soon, we’ll be able to play as newly refreshed Doctor Doom as he will be getting a new rendition as part of the Battle Pass later on in the season. But while we speak, Doctor Doom and his minions lay waste to the new Fortnite map, so haste ye watch our video or read on for a written guide! Where is Doctor Doom in Fortnite? Map location Doctor Doom is located in Castle Doom in the top-right corner of the Fortnite Map. This is quite a hotly contested area so prepare for a fight when you drop as swarms of players will be trying to get Doctor Doom’s loot and medallion. We’d recommend landing just to the left of the castle gates as this has a direct path indoors to Doctor Doom as well as having a few loot chests and Doctor Doom chests on the way to gear up. You’ll certainly need it, as defeating Doctor Doom is no easy task. Read on for our best strategies to take him on! How to beat Doctor Doom in Fortnite To defeat Doctor Doom in Fortnite, you need to whittle his health down to zero, but this is easier said than done. Doctor Doom has his Arcane Gloves which are extremely powerful and will kill you in no time. He has plenty of loyal henchmen that will swarm you as soon as you start fighting Doctor Doom, too, so you will need to take care of them as well. The best strategy to defeating Doctor Doom we found is to try and get the platform (the one that his throne is on) between you and Doctor Doom. It’s a bit cheesy, but his attacks can’t destroy the platform and it allows you to take cover. There is also a Doctor Doom chest behind his throne that usually has good high-end loot. Once you do defeat him, you'll get to use his Arcane Gloves which have two attack modes. Also, you will get Doombot's Siphon Medallion that earns you health when you defeat enemies as well as absorbing shields from other players when you defeat them. And that's all you need to know about overcoming Doctor Doom in Fortnite!

New Fortnite map in full: All changes and new locations
Allow yourself to Marvel at the new Fortnite map with our full view of all the changes and new POIs that have been introduced as part of Chapter 5 Season 4: Absolute Doom. We’ve made a video detailing our trek across the Island in order to unlock the whole map for your viewing pleasure. Do be sure to give it a watch and check out the rest of our Fortnite content on the Radio Times Gaming YouTube Channel. But what of the map? Some of it remains the same, but Doctor Doom has certainly made his presence felt, especially in the North of the map. Some other bits here and there have cropped up around the map too and we’ll go over what we’ve found so far. But with so little time and so much exploring to be had, we won’t keep you! Read on to find out all you need to know about the new Fortnite map and its points of interest. New Fortnite map in full Above is the new Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 map in full. We spent a good chunk of time running, driving and swimming across it to unlock it so please take time to appreciate our herculean effort! Or perhaps, a herculean effort would be for Myths and Mortals. A superheroic effort from us then, for the new Marvel-themed season! As you can maybe expect, dropping in the new areas in the first hours of the new season was fairly chaotic. We had to brush aside plenty of challengers in the name of content. Alas, the new biome provides plenty of opportune ambush spots with lots of trees to conceal yourself. But what’s actually new? Read on! What changes in the new Fortnite map? As you can see, there are new Doctor Doom-themed locales at the top of the map that replace the old Classy Courts and the like, though some remnants of these places remain. These are found in a new medieval grassland biome that has been introduced to Fortnite in the v31.00 patch. Altogether, the POIs Pleasant Piazza, Classy Courts and the Lavish Lair are gone. Littered around the map are new Marvel-themed treasure chests that usually include some pretty great weapons. There’s also a giant chest, which looks strikingly similar to the one Doom opens in the trailer, just outside of Redline Rig. Further south, a new POI known as The Raft has popped up, but we’ll go into more detail about each point of interest in a moment.

Castle Doom “Dark shadows from Castle Doom loom over the Island, and its forge burns red as each metal clank rings ever closer to the completion of Doctor Doom's impervious new armor.” This is also the location where you can find Doctor Doom himself if you want to challenge him. Doom’s Courtyard Doom’s Courtyard lies just East of his castle. There’s some decent loot here but nothing major takes place here, at least for now. Doomstadt “Doomstadt is a peaceful and prosperous village full of happy, productive citizens... under penalty of Doom.” Doomstadt is where you will find Mysterio. Be careful though, as his illusion powers allow him to make clones of himself that conceal the real deal. In our time playing, this is a hugely contested spot, so expect to deal with a lot of players too.
