How to get the Vulpecula in Destiny 2 Season of the Lost?

Season of the Lost has added more stasis weapons in Destiny 2 and the Vulpecula is one of the five legendary Stasis weapons in the game and is a kinetic hand cannon with Precision Frame (vertical recoil pattern), Ensemble (Improved handling and reload speed near allies), and Headstone (Precision final blows spawn stasis crystals) active perks.

Vulpecula Stats

  • Impact 78
  • Range 39-48
  • Stability 58
  • Handling 36-45
  • Reload Speed 57-58
  • Rounds per minute 180

How to get Vulpecula?

Players who complete Mara Sov’s quest Tracing Stars I will receive the hand cannon. The quest is obtainable after finishing the season’s introductory quest, head to The Wayfinders Compass and pick up the quest. Approach Mara Sov inside the portal and she will ask you to collect 5 Atlas Skews found in Dreaming City.

You can check Esoterickk’s guide below to find all Atlas Skews.

Once you obtain all five Atlas Skews, open the director and select H.E.L.M and launch “A Hollow Coronation” quest and deposit the Atlas Skews.

You can stay and listen to some extra-saucy lore and once you’re all done, head back to the Wayfinders Compass where you will receive the Vulpecula.

Vulpecula Lore

Empress Caiatl brooded over a holographic display of the Dreaming City. The map was marked with bombardment targets, landing zones, and forward operating bases, which had been decided by an emergency convention of her military advisors. Now all that remained was for the empress to order the attack. 

Taurun entered quietly, carrying a datapad. She stamped her foot lightly to announce her presence. Caiatl did not look up.

“As a princess,” the empress said, “I heard many stories of the Awoken from my father’s mythkeeper. Stories of spaces beyond time. Of the dragons that bend reality. Stories of a whole city, built by wishes.” 

She sliced the air with her tusks in annoyance. “It would be a waste to destroy it.” 

“But perhaps a strategic necessity.” Taurun bent both knees slightly and held up the datapad, indicating a discovery. “Lord Saladin approached us on behalf of the Vanguard. He confirms what we already suspected. Savathûn, the Witch Queen, is in the Dreaming City.”

 “A captive?” Caiatl looked up. Taurun thought she detected a concealed note of hopefulness in the ruler’s tone.

 “It’s unclear.” Taurun clicked her teeth in equivocation. “Informants on the ground report that she’s confined, but the Psions insist she traveled there of her own free will to escape Xivu Arath.”

 “A voluntary prisoner.” Caiatl glowered. “This smells of Hive trickery.” 

“It does, my empress.” Taurun lowered her brow in deference to her ruler’s mood. “However, Mara Sov is powerful, and no stranger to subterfuge. It’s fair to assume that she has a plan in place.” 

“So does Savathûn.” Caiatl clicked off the holographic display. Darkness rushed into the room. 

Taurun could see the consequences of such a decision weighing heavily on her ruler’s brow. 

Then, suddenly, the weight lifted—the empress had decided. 

“Have Lord Saladin return to Zavala with a message.”

Valorant Patch 3.04 Delayed on Asia Pacific Servers

The patch notes for Valorant 3.04 were revealed by Riot yesterday, and while the patch didn’t bring any major changes to the shooter, it included several QoL improvements and bug fixes.

However, unlike other regions, it seems like the Asia Pacific region hasn’t received this update as of yet. Usually, players would expect to receive the Valorant 3.04 update around 5:30 am IST. But this wasn’t the case this time, as players across the APAC region are complaining about not receiving the 3.04 update today even after several hours of the usual update schedule of Riot. 

There have also been reports of Valorant Mumbai servers going down on the morning of August 25th, which is likely related to the delay in the release of patch 3.04.

While we’re still in the dark about why this is happening, the official Twitter handle of Valorant South Asia has acknowledged the issue and reassured players that Valorant patch 3.04 will go live in the next few hours. 

“We’re expecting delays in deploying Patch 3.04,” the Tweet reads. “Apologies! Hoping to be up in roughly 3 hours.”

Valorant players can read the detailed patch notes of Valorant 3.04 on the official blog post here.

Valorant Conquerors Championship: Grand Finals Preview

After two days of intense Valorant action during the playoffs, we’re standing at the brink of the grand finals of the Valorant Conquerors Championship. The two teams that made it to the grand finals include Global Esports and Velocity Gaming. Both these teams showed complete dominance during the playoffs to secure their slot at the Grand Finals.

Let’s take a look at these teams’ journeys to the VCC 2021 Grand Finals. 

Global Esports

Having finished undefeated in the group stages and after defeating the likes of Damaru Gaming and Enigma Gaming, Global Esports had to face their rivals Velocity Gaming in their first match of the playoffs. Despite putting up a decent fight, they were outperformed by Velocity Gaming and the match ended with a scoreline of 2-1 in favor of Velocity Gaming. 

Consequently, Global Esports dropped to the lower bracket where they had to face Enigma Gaming once again. The match, however, wasn’t much of a hassle for Global Esports, who managed to win two games back to back and attain a 2-0 victory over Enigma Gaming, which earned them a spot at the lower bracket finals.

The LB finals proved to be a challenge for Global Esports. Their opponent, Team Exploit, is currently one of the finest Valorant teams in South Asia. The match went back and forth but Global Esports managed to come out on top and won with a scoreline of 2-1.

The victory of Global Esports in the LB finals against Team Exploit cemented their place at the grand finals of VCC. 

Velocity Gaming

Unlike Global Esports, Velocity Gaming had dropped a game in their group stages against Team Exploit. However, they managed to qualify for the playoffs relatively smoothly after defeating Exceeli Esports.

The playoffs, however, saw Velocity Gaming displaying stellar performances and dominating against their oppositions. After defeating Global Esports 2-1 in the Upper Bracket Semifinals, VLT earned their spot at the upper bracket finals. 

In the UB finals, Velocity Gaming had to face Team Exploit, the team that had defeated them 2-1 in the group stages. However, VLT seemed to have learned from their mistakes and didn’t leave any room for mistakes as they took down Team Exploit 2-0 and progressed to the grand finals. 

The Grand Finals will see Velocity Gaming and Global Esports battling it out for a lion’s share of the $33,000 prize pool and a slot at the APAC Last Chance Qualifiers. The VCC Grand Finals are scheduled to commence on August 29th, 5 pm IST.

While fending off his team from the attackers (Exceeli Esports) on the A site, Vibhor tightened up his position as his opponents seemed to walk into his crosshair with the fellow VLT player picking them off one by one.

VLT were able to take away the series 2-0 and were to face Team Exploit in the winner’s bracket.

Valorant: New “Recon Skin Bundle” Leaked featuring a Butterfly Melee knife

Valorant, Riot’s FPS, has been a resounding success since its release in 2020, thanks to its unique blend of tactical shooting mechanics and ability-based gameplay along with a wide selection of incredible-looking cosmetics that entice the player-base to grind the game out.

Dataminers on Twitter have managed to dig up the upcoming Valorant skin bundle ahead of its actual release, and fans are excited to know more about what skins the Recon bundle will offer.

The new skin collection has been named ‘Recon’ and it’ll feature unique upgrades across four levels and three variants, according to the leaks by popular Valorant data miner ‘Valor Leaks’ on Twitter.

The Recon bundle will contain skins of the following Valorant weapons:

  • Ghost
  • Phantom
  • Guardian
  • Spectre
  • Butterfly Melee Knife

Each upgrade to the skin will increase its level which in turn will add custom effects to the gun. Having said that, three camouflaged color variants would be made available to unlock and are as follows:

  • Red Camouflage
  • Blue Camouflage
  • Green Camouflage

Level 2-3 will unlock random attachments for your weapons that would just be a part of the cosmetic bundle bearing no change in your gameplay. As you can see in the image, attached below, a laser pointer and a weapon handle can be spotted hinting towards the said attachments to culminate within the game.

You can further unlock a custom animation on your Butterfly Melee knife by upgrading it to level 2. Further, the melee knife would have the same variants as the other weapons. 

A price tag of 7100 Valorant Points is set on the forthcoming Recon Skin Bundle.
