Valorant New Agent Yoru officially revealed

0

Valorant on their YouTube channel, revealed their new agent’s first look, YORU.

Ahead of Valorant’s next Episode, game developers today revealed the upcoming agent which will feature in their next update. Yoru, a native japanese agent has officially been shown in action in the latest video by Valorant.

As reported earlier by TalkEsport, the description of this brand new agent states, “ “Yoru can create gaps, in reality, itself to sneak into enemy territory unnoticed. Strength and stealth allow him to take enemies by surprise – they won’t even have time to understand where death came from.”

Yoru’s abilities have clearly been defined in this latest video where the agent seemed to trigger a portal that allowed him to teleport when in trouble.

At the start of the retake, we saw the Japanese inhabitant deploy his ultimate into his opponent’s territory in a sublime state, only at the cost of his footprints being revealed in the snow.

At the end of his ultimate, he revealed himself from the realm and joined Phoenix in the action.

Before today’s reveal, it was known by many that Yoru might be a time traveler who’s related to the samurai on Icebox which was discovered soon after the map’s release.

According to the speculations, Yoru time traveled from the past to Icebox, which is located in Bennett Island, Russia to retrieve the samurai armor.

Yoru will probably transition to depict a duelist role who will engage while lurking and performing a back-stab. His ability set simply works better for joker plays and round-winning scenes rather than for consistently getting entry frags.

Valorant Yoru’s abilities:

  • Z: Creates the sound of fake footsteps in a specific direction. Players can use ‘Fire’ to send it ahead or pre-place it with Alt-Fire, then press F to send it ahead.
  • X: Temporarily blinds enemies looking towards it. Players can press ‘Fire’ to throw it. It will pop after contacting the surface.
  • C: Places a Portal that can be sent ahead and teleported through. Press the ability button to place Portal, press ‘Fire’ to send Portal ahead, anchor Portal with Alt-Fire. Press ‘Activate’ to teleport through the Portal.
  • Q (Ultimate): Press ‘Fire’ to become invisible for enemies and invulnerable while being able to move freely.

Overwolf Warzone Companion: How safe is it and How to install it on PC?

0

For the avid Call Of Duty player on PC  that is looking to get more information out of his gameplay, the Overwolf Warzone Companion app is the one-stop software that you need to take a look at. 

From the team at CODStats and offered by Overwolf, the Warzone Companion App offers an advanced stat tracker that will give you some much deeper insights about your game stats, how you match up against other players, cheaters you encounter, and more. The app runs alongside the game and is lightweight so it won’t harm the performance 

How to install the Overwolf Warzone companion app?

  1. To install the Warzone companion app, simply head over to the official CODStats website or the official Overwolf site and download the Warzone Companion App. 

(Do note that the application will install the base Overwolf client which also supports other games like Hearthstone, Valorant, Among Us, and more. The Overwolf client will always run in the background while you play COD Warzone so that it can collect the game stats and showcase them in real-time.)

  1. When the file is downloaded, simply install it and follow the instructions that appear on the screen. 
  1. Now boot up your Call of Duty Warzone client and as soon as you load into Warzone, you’ll see all your stats from your recent games and how you compare to the global Warzone population in things like kill-death ratio and experience. The app also detects if there are any cheaters in your lobby, helping you to avoid hackers and enjoy the game. The app also lets you compare your stats with the players in your pre-match lobby and players you encounter during the game. 

(Do note that these stats are only available after loading into the match completely, so as to avoid players from using the app to back out of lobbies with higher skilled opponents.)

How Safe is the Warzone Companion?

Every third party software comes with the risk of being malware or accidentally triggering the anticheat protection. While the Overwolf Warzone Companion app isn’t an official application by Activision, the team at CODStats and Overwolf have confirmed that the platform works closely with game developer and publisher to ensure that the app published on the platform is aligned with the Terms of Service and 3rd party policies of the game and doesn’t result in players getting banned. 

Since its launch, the app has garnered a decent amount of user base and a number of users have also said on Reddit that it works as intended and didn’t trip their anti-virus protection. If you still have any doubts whatsoever, refrain from using it as a precaution or install it at your own discretion. 

How to get Flame Chaser Set in Free Fire

Free Fire has added yet another mini-event to the game before it heads into the big finale of their ‘Operation Chrono’ season. In this event, Free Fire players have an opportunity to unlock the Flame Chaser bundle alongside several other freebies by doing many simple tasks. The bundle can be certainly won if one completes the missions daily.

Garena is famous for adding interesting content to the game. One of the biggest parts of this in-game content is the lucrative events and the sweet rewards it offers to the players.

Several Free Fire events have rewarded players with free items to date and now on the occasion of the new year, Free Fire has hosted another event named New Beginnings

Under the New Beginnings event in Free Fire, it has been revealed that players can earn the Flame Chaser set for free and if they manage to fully uncover the foggy area on the map banner provided in the event tab.

Ways to get Flame Chaser set in Free Fire

Players can use three options to uncover the map and open parts of it. A total of nine tries should be used to fully remove the fog and there are three methods through which one can do so. They can use the campfire, compass, or gun to clear the fog and essentially they all work in the same way but have different symbolic representations.

To unlock these minigame items, players have to spend in-game gold coins or the Sakura Petals. While coins are usually available in abundance, there is a limitation on their usage. Players can only use the coins three times so the rest of the map has to be unlocked by using the petals.

Sakura Petals are special tokens added to Free Fire for this event. One can simply earn these petals by completing all the daily rewards and a total of 7 can be earned each day.

It is quite easy to fully remove the fog and hence, you just have to get the petals, redeem the minigame item, and then use it to uncover the fog. When the map is completely open, players can earn the Flame Chaser set for free.

Fall Guys publisher Devolver Digital recently published a new trailer that featured the famous DOOM music with Fall Guys characters climbing and jumping across a colorful but rugged map. 

Fans of DOOM rejoice as the characters from their favorite series are on their way towards Fall Guys world as exclusive Costumes.

The infamous Doom slayer and Hell demons are among the character costumes that are coming to Fall Guys as part of the official Mediatonic and Bethesda collab, Fall Guys x DOOM Crossover.

Fall Guys x Doom

The limited-time crossover update comes on January 12th and like previous crossovers, the new cosmetics will be available through the Fall Guys Item Shop in-game for crowns.

The cosmetic will be available for a limited time only and won’t be coming for some time. So you better get those crowns ready to dress up your bean in its very own DOOM Slayer costume. 

While DOOM is rated M, the crossover this time is mostly about costumes and doesn’t include the infamous DOOM Slayer himself coming to Fall Guys world.

Although the trailer also showcases a new map or arena, right now the developers haven’t said anything about the new DOOM-themed map or arena from the trailer coming to the game. Not to get anyone’s hopes up, but if they do add the map it would be an epic surprise.

Epic Games Store’s weekly freebie has become a staple formula for the store to pull in more users to register and stay on the store. In the past, the company had offered many great games including AAA quality games like GTA5, Hitman, Metro, etc for free.

The freebie formula worked wonders for Epic in 2020 and helped the store to cement its position and chip away some users off Steam.

Starting next week, Epic plans to offer DICE’s space shooter Star Wars Battlefront 2 for free to anyone with a registered Epic Games Store account with 2FA security enabled.

Epic will be offering the Celebration Edition of Battlefront 2 for free which features all the post-launch additions, as well as all cosmetic content previously available as in-game purchases, right up to and latest DLC — Rise of Skywalker.

For those unaware of Star Wars Battlefront 2, it is a sequel to the previously released Star Wars Battlefront, a game praised for its combat and graphics, but seriously lacking content. 

At launch, the Star Wars Battlefront 2 was highly appreciated as it came loaded with content and a more fluid combat experience. But the game quickly found itself facing controversy surrounding its predatory pay-to-win monetization and loot box systems.

The monetization system of the game was so bad that even Disney was thinking to revoke EA’s license to publish Star Wars games. 

After facing the much-needed criticism, both EA and DICE ultimately decided to reverse the monetization and dramatically reworked the game’s loot box linked progression system and shifted to cosmetic-only microtransactions instead.

With the monetization reworked the real fluid combat experience came to light and everyone finally appreciated the strengths of DICE’s shooter.

Since then Dice continued to build upon the game and added free content like new multiplayer maps and modes, and ultimately working towards releasing the Rise of Skywalker Free DLC which adds Finn, Rey, and Kylo Ren as heroes and a jungle planet with sequel era locations Takodana, Jakku, and Starkiller Base.

PewDiePie to take break from YouTube

0

The biggest independent YouTuber Felix “PewDiePie” Kjellberg has decided to take a break from uploading videos with no foreseeable return date.

PewDiePie has been ruling YouTube as a single content creator for over a decade now, boasting an astounding 108 million subscribers.

Over the years, he has built a reputation for uploading content regularly, not missing a single day to bring a smile to the faces of his fans.

Naturally, for someone like him, taking a break is surprising for his fans, though this is not his first foray into a vacation from YouTube.

“I might not stream for a while either, just to take some full time off, and come back fully charged. So I’ll be offline for a week, two weeks, maybe three weeks. I don’t know. I know it’s kind of a ball-buster to end here, but I don’t really take breaks and I feel like I just need it.” said Felix. His previous break took over a month that explains why he didn’t promise a return date.

His break has encouraged fans to kick start a “NOSTALGIA WEEK” over at the r/PewdiepieSubmissions subreddit, where fans are coming together to dig up the glorious moments, memes, videos from PewDiePie’s decade long rule on YouTube. When Kjellberg returns, his subreddit might turn into an album of his eventful past.

Last year, his break started before January 15 till February 21, lasting for over a month. Similarly this year, he claims the break will run “for a week, two weeks, maybe three weeks.”. Pewds drops videos all year long, working hard each and every day, so a monthlong break will be more than justified as every person deserves to take a break for themselves.

Trk departs, MIBR sets eyes on BOOM

Alencar “⁠trk⁠” Rossato has decided to bench himself at MIBR.

In a TwitLonger Post, Brazilian player trk spoke out his situation at MIBR and has decided to join the new upcoming project led by  Raphael “⁠cogu⁠” Camargo which does include the twin brothers Lucas “⁠LUCAS1⁠” Teles and  Henrique “⁠HEN1⁠” Teles along with Vito “⁠kNgV-⁠” Giuseppe who too decided to take the back door earlier today.

After parting ways with their quartet two days back, MIBR were left with kNgV- and trk on their roster. The Brazilian squad had plans to build a roster around these two players with the help of a coach whom they would have brought on the team. But things fell apart as kNgV- was unsatisfied with these roster changes which eventually made the 28yo leave the team. This was soon followed by trk who too chose to follow kNgV- ‘s footsteps leading both to a potential prospect led by cogu as mentioned above. trk debuted for MIBR in May 2020 where he replaced  Ignacio “⁠meyern⁠” Meyer on the roster.

Earlier today kNgV- through his TwitLonger post revealed how MIBR managed the team where he mentioned the former “to have shown less interest and lacked dialogue” Things hit the downward spiral for the Immortals owned side since the benching of the trio featuring Epitacio “⁠TACO⁠” de Melo, Fernando “⁠fer⁠” Alvarenga and Gabriel “⁠FalleN⁠” Toledo.

With trk exiting the team, MIBR is now left with no active player. They are scheduled to play at the BLAST Premier Spring Series, to be held on 4th February.

In a report by Cybersport.pl, BOOM Esports might end up getting acquired by MIBR.
