How To Grind Experience in Among Us

Among Us took the early days of global lockdown by storm, given how the game was literally played by a record number of users at the time. Even though the game isn’t as talked about as it used to be, it still boasts a healthy userbase that they can be proud of.

Among Us’s Level system is a great way to figure out how much time a player has spent within the game and leveling up has certain benefits for the players to enjoy, read through to figure out how to level up fast.

To keep it short, the only way is to play a lot. Players gain experience with every game but some miss out on the Experience points gained by leaving too early once a game is over. Once a match of Among Us concludes, XP is handed out right in the end, which most players tend to miss out on.

There is no way around playing matches to level up, and duration varies from match to match which makes it even harder to predict how long can it exactly take to go reach the next level. Leveling up rewards the players with multipliers for pods if that’s the motivation for some to grind more than they usually do.

Valorant : All you need to know about the upcoming 3.10 patch update

Riot Games is set to deploy the 3.10 patch update into their first person tactical shooter Valorant which will introduce Chamber, a sentinel joining the ranks of their agents roster.

So far the 3.09 patch has been a blast for the Valorant community which saw several new weapon cosmetics been introduced in the game including a seasonal and a special battle pass, the latter powered by RiotX Arcane, an event held to commemorate the launch of Riot’s first-ever animated web series on Netflix, Arcane. The said event is currently live and will run throughout November 22.

With the 3.10 patch on the horizon, here is the list of changes that you can expect ahead of the former’s launch.

Agent Chamber

Riot had earlier revealed Chamber to be a part of the Episode 3 Act 3 but was later rescheduled to be made available two weeks ahead of the launch of the ongoing act.

“As development progressed on the new Agent, it was clear to us that they were not at the quality bar you’ve come to expect from us. It’s why we’ve opted to hold the Agent for an additional two weeks, while we work on polishing up those final aspects. Sometimes the last 10% of work really brings together the previous 90% of work.” Stated John Goscicki, VALORANT character producer in a press release.

Chamber is set to be a Sentinel agent with an arsenal of new weapons at his disposal. He also possesses a skill set that’ll enable him to hold down bombsites or take entry kills relatively easily, making him a great addition to any Valorant lineup.

New Skin Bundle

The 3.09 patch saw RADIANT CRISIS 001 and the Arcane Collector’s Set getting added to the cosmetic collection of the game. According to the leaks by popular Valorant data miner ‘Valor Leaks’ on Twitter, the new Magepunk 2.0 bundle is set to be introduced as a part of the upcoming 3.10 patch. ValorLeaks further shared an image that depicts that the weapon skins would bear four variants.

Stacks in ranked games

At the start of November, Valorant through a blog update had revealed their plans of introducing 5 man stacks to the game which would allow higher-ranked players to queue in a 5 stacked lobby but would have a narrow margin upon gaining Ranked Rating from a won match, although the details of the same will come along with the 3.10 patch update.

Genshin Impact Update 2.3: Release Date, New Characters, Rise Of Christmas Cult, And More

Christmas Season is upon us and with that, the yearly Christmas Celebration events in Live-service games like Genshin Impact have started to kick off. MiHoYo is gearing up for the Christmas Season with a special event that will go live with the upcoming major update.

Recently, the developers held a livestream where they previewed the upcoming update and its content. The livestream confirmed two new characters — Arataki Itto and Gorou, cute dog rescues, a new story event, and more will be added to the game when the update releases on 24th November.

While there has been a lot of leaks and rumours about update 2.3 before, the recent livestream has directly revealed a lot of details on the game’s upcoming content patch and put off some rumours. 

The biggest take from the livestream was the introduction of the two new playable characters. Fans of the game were anticipating the arrival of both characters since the reveal of Arataki Itto by MiHoYo early last month and the leak of Gorou earlier this year. The new update will also be the first to feature two 5-star reruns featuring Albedo and Eula.

Much of the new content will take place in the snow-covered region in the Northern Hemisphere,  Dragonspine. The story event titled Shadows Amidst Snowstorms will take players back to the snowy region to conduct new investigations and participate in winter training activities throughout Dragonspine.

Players will have to fight against a new boss —  the Favonius Knights’ chief alchemist in the new limited-time story event, which will also feature rescuing cute dogs in hats. The update also adds the Golden Wolf Lord world boss as well as new domains, weapons, artifact sets, a new gadget that lets players add pets to their Serenitea pot, and more.

While MiHoYo is busy with update 2.3, some players have decided to celebrate the Christmas season in-game without waiting for the update. Players have formed the “Christmas Cult” and are flooding social media sites like Twitter, TikTok, Reddit, etc with images of their favourite characters in Dragonspine wearing Santa hats.

Users have started changing their profile pictures with characters from the game wearing the Santa cap. Even some influencers have joined them and changed their profile pictures in support of this player-made celebration.

PUBG New State reaches #1 ranking in 165 Countries

Krafton’s PUBG: New State the next-gen sequel to PUBG Mobile, was released on November 11. New State is set in a futuristic world, in the year 2051 and features a large 8km by 8km map called “Troi”.

Krafton has not only improved the game visually by adding Global Illumination, but they have also reworked the gunplay which is now further optimized for mobile devices as the developers claim that it’s an evolution of its predecessor and that the overall experience “rivals PUBG on PC.”

New State has already started making new records as the game is popular in over 165 countries. According to Kraftton CEO Chang-Han Kim, PUBG: New State has claimed the #1 spot in countries like Korea, the United States, Germany, India, and Saudi Arabia, and more. 

The highly-anticipated Battle Royale game crossed over 10 million downloads in just 2 days after its release, and 20 million downloads after 4 days, which isn’t too surprising given how the game had over 55 million pre-registrations prior to its release.

Krafton had to delay the game’s launch by two hours as players were unable to connect to the game’s server due to a large inflow of users. “For the past day, we fully acknowledge that we were not able to meet those expectations or provide a great gaming experience and wish to express our apologies.”

The company issued an apology for the unexpected delay. “Our aim is to provide a gaming experience that matches the high hopes that all of you have, and we are continuously working to make sure that we deliver in this aspect.”

PUBG: New State is available on Android and iOS.

PUBG New State: Best Settings Guide

Krafton has launched a new game called PUBG: New State around the world. This new title is the successor of PUBG Mobile and brings in the PC experience to mobile platform with higher graphics and more immersive experience. As the game is new, some settings are quite hard to understand so here is a simple guide to get you ready to directly play the game.

As PUBG: New State is an advanced version of PUBG Mobile, some of the settings are very similar to the latter but there are a few things which might differ your experience. One of the main things is gyroscopic sensitivity is capped to a maximum of 200 in New State as compared to 300 units in PUBG Mobile.

PUBG NEW STATE BEST SETTINGS

Players need to test their sensitivities but can simply copy the rest of settings given below to kickstart their journey in PUBG: New State.

1. Basic

You can check you account details as well as change server in this tab. You might also link your social accounts like Facebook or google to the game and delete your account as well by using this tab.

2. Graphics

Make sure to keep the frame rate as high as possible. The current maximum is “Max” tab with a provision made for the “Extreme” rate. If your device lags at this settings, simply reduce it by one block each.

The graphics should always be set at Lite to provide a smooth gameplay but players with higher end devices can keep it to higher levels as well.

SettingsStatus
Frame RateMax/Ultra
Graphic QualityLite/Medium
Anti-AliasingOff
Brightness100-120
Screen FilterStandard/ Contrast

3. Gameplay

These are the most basic settings and most of them do not need to be altered. Make sure all the toggles are set as given below:

SettingsStatus
Sound TrackerEnable
Sound Tracker with IconEnable
3D-HUDEnable
Blocked LoS WarningEnable
Heal Widget Instant UseEnable
Auto-FollowDisable
Scope QuickslotEnable
TPP/FPP Switch ButtonEnable

You can alter the settings as per your own preferences.

4. Controls

We recommend the players to set their own layout and try it in the practice areas. They can also set it exactly similar to PUBG Mobile. Rest of the settings can be set as following:

SettingsStatus
ParkourCombine Jump Button
PeekTap
Automatically Switch to Scope Mode when peekingDisable
RollDouble tap crouch button
GyroscopeEnable/Disable
Scope and Shoulder ModeSeparate Buttons
ShoulderTap/Combine

These settings can be different for each player and hence, change things like scope modes and switches as per your own choice.

Drag Controls

Camera Rotation when Dragging Scope Mode Button     Enable
Aim AssistEnable
Single/Burst Mode Auto FireTouch Hold Fire Button
Auto Shoulder WeaponDisable
Shotgun Firing ModeTap
Sniper Rifle Firing ModeTap
Auto Pull PinsEnable
Horizontal Camera AccelerationEnable

5. Sensitivity

There is no such thing as perfect sensitivity. Players need to play around the numbers to find their comfort zone. They can do this simple activity to find the their own best set of sensitivities very easily:

  • Jump into practice mode or AI Mode where there will be no disturbance and take a big open spot in the map.
  • Swipe your thumb from middle part of your screen to the right edge of your phone.
  • Cover the maximum possible distance and check if your crosshair has moved by 180 degrees or not.
  • A 180 degrees turn is the standard move that everyone should be able to do to counter the enemies sneaking onto you from behind.
  • If you are covering a smaller angle than 180 degrees, try to increase your standard sensitivity and repeat the process and if you are covering a more wider angle, decrease the sensitivity.

We hope that these tips and settings will help you to play even better in PUBG: New State. As mentioned before, it is not compulsory to stick to these settings and hence, players can always change then around to find their perfect fit.
