Valorant Adds UPI Payment Method for Indian Players

If you’ve been following TalkEsport for a while, you’re probably aware of the issues Valorant fans have been facing when attempting to purchase from the Valorant store using Paytm.

In fact, the Paytm payment method was removed from the Valorant store last week without any prior notice. This move caught the Indian Valorant community by surprise but Riot reassured fans that Paytm would be returning soon. 

For the unaware, Paytm is an Indian e-commerce payment system that’s prevalent across the South Asian country as one of the most popular virtual payment methods.

Paytm was originally introduced as a payment method in Valorant back in October 2020 after repeated demands from the Indian Valorant community. 

Luckily, for the Indian Valorant players who are unable to purchase VP using Paytm, Riot Games has enabled UPI payments in the Valorant store following a recent update. 

“UPI payment option is now live for players in India,” the official Valorant South Asia Twitter handle posted. “We’ll keep you posted on updates around the PayTM option.”

While the exact date of return of the Paytm payment option is still unclear, Indian Valorant players now have a viable alternative to purchase VP and cosmetics from the Valorant store. 

Previously, Indian players had to resort to third-party services like PayPal to make purchases in the Valorant store using other payment methods.

Krafton Inc. has finally released Battlegrounds Mobile India on iOS devices and Indian players can get back their old PUBG Mobile account by the account transfer process. iOS users can directly download the game from official store and complete the steps given below to access their old account.

Battlegrounds Mobile India was launched as an alternative to PUBG Mobile when the latter was banned in India one year ago. Krafton made a hasty launch by going through a short open-beta phase before moving on to the official launch for android devices.

iOS users were left out in the initial process and the reason behind it was not given but the developers were quick to extend the support to iOS platform within a period of couple of months.

Players who own an iOS device with an iOS 9.0 and higher version can enjoy this game. One of the important aspects of this new game is the data transfer process where players can get their old skins and inventory back.

How to transfer your PUBG Mobile ID to BGMI on iOS

Players can simply follow the steps given below to complete the data transfer process:

  • Download BGMI and login using your Facebook or Twitter account.
  • Go to your settings and click on ‘Account Transfer’ button given in the Basics tab.
  • Click on Facebook or Twitter Login method. Make sure to select the account which was previously linked to your PUBG Mobile account.
  • The process will be automatically completed after a short while. Restart your game and login using the same Facebook or Twitter ID.

After completing these steps, players can get their old PUBG Mobile accounts back in the new Battlegrounds Mobile India. Most of the in-game data will be ported but some statistics like K/D or season rankings will be reset.

k0nfig to miss 6 weeks of CSGO competition due to a wrist injury

Kristian “k0nfig” Wienecke has temporarily been sidelined to Complexity’s inactive roster for the next 4-6 weeks following a wrist injury and would miss the ongoing ESL Pro League Season 14 and most likely the forthcoming BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2021 as well.

Complexity on Twitter too addressed this situation where they have announced that they will be fielding a stand-in for the ESL Pro League Season 14. Earlier on Tuesday, it was confirmed that Niels Christian ‘NaToSaphiX’ Sillassen will fill in for k0nfig on the active roster till the 24-year-old Dane recovers from his injury. 

k0nfig further gave a detailed explanation on his Twitter handle upon his current situation where he spoke about an accident that dislocated his right wrist and would need to undergo surgery. This would further require him to wear a cast for the next couple of weeks post-surgery due to which he chose to stay out of competition. As earlier reported by HLTV.org, NaToSaphiX will replace the former on Complexity’s active line-up and will assist the Texas Based organization across their tour at the EPL S14.  As mentioned above, Kristian too might go on to miss the BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2021 which starts on September 16.

Complexity are scheduled to play forZe in their EPL Group B Opener on August 21 and would debut with their new signings, Patrick “es3tag” Hansen and head coach Luis “⁠peacemaker⁠” Tadeu. They are expected to compete with the following roster:

  • Benjamin “⁠blameF⁠” Bremer
  • Valentin “⁠poizon⁠” Vasilev
  • Justin “⁠jks⁠” Savage
  • Patrick “⁠es3tag⁠” Hansen
  • Niels Christian “⁠NaToSaphiX⁠” Sillassen (stand-in)
  • Luis “⁠peacemaker⁠” Tadeu (Head Coach)
  • Kristian “⁠k0nfig⁠” Wienecke (Inactive)

Cyberpunk 2077 1.3 Patch notes – minimap fixes, support for free DLCS and more

Cyberpunk 2077 1.3 Patch notes – minimap fixes, support for free DLCS and more

Patch 1.2 for Cyberpunk 2077 – the game’s second major update, introduced a huge list of changes such as increased NCPD spawn radius, Ray Tracing for AMD GPUs, and the ability to cancel fall damage while sliding was no longer possible. While Patch 1.2 boasted over 100+ fixes, Cyberpunk 2077 still felt a little rough around the edges and lacked proper QoL fixes.

Patch 1.3 addresses one of the game’s biggest issues: the minimap, which will now zoom out while driving so that players can navigate around turns easily. This basic feature, present in most open-world titles, was heavily requested since the game’s launch and frustrated PC players resorted to fanmade mods to implement a dynamic minimap.

Players can now reset their perks by spending Eddies (Eurodollars) in the game’s skill progression menu, surely a welcome quality of life change as players can now change their playstyles without starting a new playthrough.

The new update adds three new DLCs to the game along with a new “Additional Content” option in the game’s main menu.

List of free DLCs in Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 1.3

  • Johnny Silverhand’s Alternative Appearance – can be enabled in Settings in the “Additional Content” tab. 
  • Multilayered Syn-Leather Deltajock Jacket, Luminescent Punk Jacket – both available in the stash in V’s apartment after receiving a message from Viktor after completing The Ride. They’re of Rare/Iconic quality by default, Crafting Specs to craft a higher quality will also be unlocked. 
  • Archer Quartz “Bandit” – available as a reward or for purchase (depending on choices made by player) after completing Ghost Town and then receiving a message from Dakota or Rogue. If you haven’t received the message, make sure to be in the Badlands area and move further away from Dakota’s workshop. Dakota will also need a couple of days to contact you.

Read the entire list of fixes and changes here.

Cyberpunk 2077 is out for PC, Stadia, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One with next-gen versions set to release sometime in 2022.

Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) officially launched for iOS platform

Krafton has officially released Battlegrounds Mobile India for iOS devices after teasing the release for a short while. BGMI has replaced the void left by PUBG Mobile in the country and has now received a full fledged launch in the country.

Battlegrounds Mobile India was initially launched in an open beta manner for android devices and that launch was soon extended to a complete official launch. The developers did not provide any support for iOS at the initial stages and players were awaiting for its launch for a long time.

Popular PUBG Mobile players and streamers used to prefer iOS phones or tablets as their go-to device for creating content or playing in competitive matches but this meta was changed when Battlegrounds Mobile India was launched.

Players did not have an option to select iOS initially and hence, many players made a switch from iOS to flagship android devices to play the game and practice for tournaments. Krafton promised to extend their title to a different platform very soon and delivered on it by releasing the game on iOS devices.

The developers also delayed their first tournament called BGIS and as speculated, the iOS launch took place before the tournament.

Krafton may also extend the list of supported devices to multiple iOS phones for Battlegrounds Mobile India Series and hence players have a choice to switch to whichever platform they prefer.

Fortnite Impostors Mode: New Fortnite LTM Inspired by Among Us

The new Fortnite v17.40 update has recently hit the live servers, and it has brought a bunch of new content to the battle royale. The newly introduced content that Fortnite 17.40 brings to the title include the Wonder Woman Fortnite skin, and the exciting Impostors Mode that seems to be an Among Us game mode within Fortnite. 

As stated in a blog post by Epic, the new LTM Impostors Mode is unlike the other LTMs we have seen before and is directly related to the vast Fortnite lore. Here’s what you need to know about the new Among Us inspired game mode in Fortnite. 

Fortnite Impostors Mode

Similar to Among Us, the new Fortnite Impostors Mode requires a minimum of 4 players to play and a maximum of 10. Players will be able to queue for private and public matches separately depending on whether they want to play with their friends or random players across Fortnite. 

In a regular 10-player game, eight players will be automatically chosen as impostors while two players will be assigned the role of impostors. 

Fortnite Impostors Mode: How to Play

Here’s how players can hop in to a Fortnite Impostors Mode match:

  • Launch Fortnite
  • Install the latest update v17.40
  • Click on ‘Change mode’ in the lobby
  • Scroll to Impostors Mode
  • Select whether you want to play a private or public session
  • Click on ‘Play’

That’s it! You are now queuing for a Fortnite Impostors Mode game. 

Fortnite Impostors Mode: Rules, Mechanics and How to Win

Winning in the new Fortnite Impostors Mode LTM relies on similar mechanics to that in an Among Us game. 

Agents need to complete a list of assignments given to them, survive through the game and identify impostors while Impostors need to eliminate all of the agents to win. 

Similar to Among Us, Impostors can use various sabotages to help them score kills and get away safely. Impostors also have the option to start a Peely Party to disguise everyone with Peely outfits, making room for some easy kills. 

So what are you waiting for? Hop in to the action and queue for an Impostors Mode game right away!

NymN’s ‘Booba’ Emote Removed From Twitch For ‘Sexual Content’

NymN’s ‘Booba’ Emote Removed From Twitch For ‘Sexual Content’

Popular Twitch streamer Elias “NymN” Mlayeh was left puzzled after his channel’s ‘booba’ emote was removed from the platform for sexual content. 

Twitch emotes are an extremely popular way for viewers to communicate with each other and with streamers across the platform. In fact, some Twitch channels are also often seen enabling ’emote-only mode’ where viewers in the chat can communicate exclusively with emotes.

The popularity of emotes goes on to prove why the sudden removal of NymN’s ‘booba’ emote from Twitch has left fans dumbfounded. 

While NymN and his community are confused about the reason behind the removal of the ‘booba’ emote, Twitch has stated in a statement that the emote has been removed for “sexual content”

According to the streaming platform, it contained “imagery of sexual content or nudity, i.e ‘Gasm’-style emotes which contain sexualized torsos or bodily fluids.”

The Twitch star shared the email sent by the platform in a recent Tweet. 

The reasoning given by Twitch has caused visible confusion in the community since the emote doesn’t seem to contain any kind of apparent “sexual content”. Some have also questioned the platform for removing the ‘booba’ emote while the ‘kreygasm’ emote remains untouched. 

https://twitter.com/315Jeo/status/1427406764589281286?s=20

It’s still unclear if NymN is gonna appeal to Twitch against the removal of the ‘booba’ emote or carry on without it.
