Karrigan might return to FaZe Clan – Report

Mouz Captain Finn ‘Karrigan’  Andersen might return back to FaZe Clan’s active CSGO roster.

According to a report from theclutch, Karrigan has been linked to his former CSGO team FaZe Clan for a return. In the “Flow Podcast”  Marcelo “⁠coldzera⁠” David discussed his team’s plans for 2021 where they would go on to sign a captain and a psychologist as well.

At the end of 2018, Karrigan had been moved to the bench by the mixed European side on the basis of his poor results at the same. Now, with losing Nikola ‘NiKo’ Kovač to the french side G2 Esports, they have been pondering to sign an In-Game Leader for their active Squad.

In the Flow Podcast, Coldzera discussed FaZe Clan’s future where he talked about the team’s itinerary to sign 6 players along with an analyst and psychologist as well. In a write-up by HLTV.Org, it was further revealed by the South American, ‘”We really need to sign a captain. This will also free me up to take spots in which I enjoyed playing.

We don’t know if we’ll change other players because at the moment we’re focused on signing a captain and a psychologist. Olofmeister doesn’t want to stay because he wants to retire.”

Coldzera concluded the Podcast by recognizing Finn “⁠karrigan⁠” Andersen, Lukas “⁠gla1ve⁠” Rossander, and Gabriel “⁠FalleN⁠” Toledo as the best in-game leaders across the globe.

Cyberpunk 2077 Mods that every player should install

Cyberpunk 2077 is no stranger to being buggy and complicated for players. With the beautifully crafted Night City at its core, the bugs along with little annoyances like locked controls and limited FOV have left PC players asking for more options to customize the game. We have found out the best Cyberpunk 2077 mods that every player should install.

Well, Fret Not! Cause today we present you a list of some essential Cyberpunk 2077 mods that will make your gameplay experience more immersive and improve the overall gaming experience. Thanks to talented modders at Nexusmods, PC players can easily mod their game to better suit their playstyle. You can truly experience the storyline and beautiful areas of Cyberpunk 2077 with the mods.

Note:- modding your game comes at a risk of saves breaking or the game not launching after updates, most of the time it is easy to find the cause and fix it, but sometimes you might need to reinstall the game to properly fix the issue, so it is advised to mod the game only after backing up game files and saves. 

Better Vehicle Handling 

Anyone who played the game knows how frustrating it is to drive vehicles in Cyberpunk. The controls and handling on Keyboard feel weird and often require a controller to properly drive around. Well thanks to Better Vehicle Handling mod by RB, driving vehicles on the keyboard will feel less frustrating and somewhat similar to the controller experience. 

Better Vehicle Handling mod is a simple INI configuration file that modifies some game values to make handling less frustrating. The mod is non-intrusive meaning it doesn’t modify any game files so it lowers the risk of game-breaking after every update. 

Get the mod here https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/210

Better Controls Menu

One of the most infuriating things about Cyberpunk is the keyboard keybinds. While PCs have great functionality for mapping actions, the ability to rebind some actions is still missing. The default keybinds for some frequent actions like interact, slow walk, and dodge are not intuitive and don’t feel quite right.

Better Controls Menu is a simple mod by Nibrodooh that essentially adds options in the keybind menu for keys that are not able to be bound by default allowing players to simply customize some actions to their liking for a more immersive experience. This mod Adds options to the key bindings menu for Dodge (Disables double tap), Slow Walk, Primary Action, Secondary Action, A bunch of UI Navigation Buttons, Allows the arrow keys to be used in UI.

Config Overhaul for Cyberpunk 2077

Cyberpunk 2077 is one of those games that offer players the ability to almost customize every graphical setting in the game. Even though it looks like every graphical setting is available to players to customize, developers still hid some settings from players that can be disabled in order to increase FPS.

Config Overhaul by derplayer is a tool that allows players to configure hidden settings in the game and squeeze out more FPS. According to derplayer, the tool works by generating configuration files that will enable players to edit the hidden settings. The tool will not modify any executables so it is less risky than using a Hex editor or other methods.

Arasaka Appearance Updater

A great tool to edit the appearance of your character without deleting the character and restarting the story. Arasaka Appearance Updater is developed by Admiral and unlike other methods that involve using a hex editor, with this simple tool user only need to navigate the tool to their save folder and from there the tool will automatically select the latest save file ready to be changed.

With Arasaka Appearance Updater players can change the hairstyle as well as some facial attributes like eyes, jaws, ears, and mouth of their main character. A preview of the character is also available within the tool and as soon as any change is made to the character using the tool, the preview also gets updated allowing players to review their character appearance before saving.

Instant crafting

A simple mod that allows players to adjust crafting time to their taste. 

Developed by hUUK45, rather than a mod, it is a simple DIY guide that allows players to change the crafting time to Instant craft, fast craft, etc. The player can simply choose the setting that they feel most comfortable with and edit the files according to the guide. 

Do remember that when you change the crafting time, the settings are also applied to de-crafting. So in short, you can craft and de-craft any item instantly without waiting. 

This simple DIY guide is godsent for players that are speedrunning the story or focusing mainly on experimenting with the game’s craft menu. Plus since update 1.06 removes the 8MB save file size limit, crafters and hoarders no longer need to fear the save corrupting bug. 

Get the mod here https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/152

Better Field Of View Slider

A simple file that enables the ability to adjust the FOV of the game past the default values. This Cyberpunk 2077 mod also allows players to lower the FOV to as low as 30. It is useful for those playing on a widescreen monitor or players trying to adjust the FOV more precisely.

Developed by Jade – LordEmil1, this simple JSON file changes the Minimum FOV to 30, and Maximum FOV to 150. It also changes the FOV step to 1 instead of 5 allowing for more precise POV adjustments. 

Note- While the mod allows players to change FOV values to 150, players are advised to not play at such high FOV value or similarly higher values as they might experience motion sickness more often.

LOL: Wild Rift New Champion Wukong Abilities, Builds, Runes and More

LOL: Wild Rift New Champion Wukong Abilities, Builds, Runes and More

League of Legends: Wild Rift is the mobile version of the popular MOBA title League of Legends. This game was one of the most anticipated games of this year and due to the delay of the prevailing pandemic, the launch was delayed.

Currently, Wild Rift is under open beta testing for almost half of the world and new additions are being made to make the game more stable. LOL: Wild Rift recently added a new champion named Wukong to their arsenal and here is everything you need to know about it.

LOL Wild Rift Champion Wukong details:

Wukong: The Monkey King is the 50th Champion that is added to the Wild Rift. He is exactly similar to the PC version with small changes made to sustain the mobile ecosystem. He falls under the fighter category and is one of the most powerful champions to come to Wild Rift. Similar to all the other champions, Wukong is available at 5500 Blue Motes or 725 Wild Cores.

Wukong Abilities

A short introduction to his skills and passive is given below:

  • Crushing Blow (Passive): Stacks up when dealing damage to a target and after completing five stacks, additional damage is dealt with that enemy champion
  • First Skill – Golden Staff: Empowers the next basic attack with an additional range. One can use this ability frequently due to its low cooldown.
  • Second Skill – Warrior Trickster: After casting this skill, Wukong creates a clone of itself and is invisible for 1.5s. This ability has to be timed perfectly to make full use of it.
  • Third Skill – Nimbus Strike: Wukong dashes forward with two clones and deals damage to the enemy targets. If a single target is in the range, the clones will attack that champion. This can be used to narrow the distance or escape skirmishes.
  • Ultimate Skill – Cyclone: Wukong rotates with his staff in hand and knocks up nearby enemies. If the clone is cast in this combo, it will also spin alongside Wukong. This ability can be cast twice in a combo and can be canceled by clicking on the skill button.

Wukong Roles:

Wukong can easily be used in Baron Lane or as a jungler. This champion has a high damage output in the early game and hence, one can successfully harass the enemy in the solo lanes. Using Wukong in the jungle is also one of the viable options because it is easy to clear jungle camps with the first skill and this champion is perfect for ambushes.

Wukong Builds and Runes

The default builds provided by Wild Rift are accurate most of the time but you can alter it as per your necessities in each game.

If you are having an early lead then you can build the first core item and then go for boot enchantments as soon as you can or if you are losing, it is better to keep farming and go for the build as it is recommended and even build the defensive items like Guardian Angel first.

We recommend you to use the builds given in-game and only tweak them after gaining enough experience.

The rune tree can be altered as per your choice but it is recommended to keep Keystone Rune as Electrocute for most of your games. The domination rune tree can be set to ‘Brutal’ or ‘Vampirism’ as per your choice.

The resolve rune tree can be set to ‘Tenacity’ or ‘Regeneration but we recommend the latter option. The final inspiration rune should be kept on ‘Hunter – Genius’ to get the maximum cooldown. The most recommended rune tree will be as follows:

Tips

Wukong is very strong in the early game so if you are playing him in the Baron lane, it is suggested to harass the enemies using your first and third skill. Use them to burn the summoner spells of you enemies like flash or heal.

Roam as much as you can and if you are a jungler, make sure to attack from the bushes and surprise your enemies as most of them will fail to react quickly and then get trapped in your ultimate skill.

Wukong is a strong fighter in Wild Rift so take full advantage of it before Riot balances it out.

Valorant Players Might Be Able To Hide Their Crosshair In Future

Valorant Players Might Be Able To Hide Their Crosshair In Future

In Valorant, players are given the ability to check others’ crosshair in-game with the click of a single button. While this move has been appreciated by a majority of the Valorant player base, a number of players are also criticizing Riot for this feature, claiming that this is leading to harassment in-game.

In the latest blog post of ‘Ask Valorant’, a fan questioned the devs, “Is there any way to hide my crosshair from anyone observing me? I get harassed for my crosshair in almost every game, and it’s really putting me off from playing.”

The developers seem to have taken note of this issue, and assured this fan that players might be able to hide their crosshair in a future update. 

“Sorry to hear you’re getting harassed over crosshair choice,” Matt Le, Valorant Producer, said. “We allow players to spectate other crosshairs so they can get inspiration for their own, but I can definitely see how the consistent comments could become annoying. I think being able to hide your crosshair is a great idea— we’ll try to fit it into our future plans and keep you posted on any changes.”

It goes without saying that crosshairs in any FPS title should be based on personal preference and self-satisfaction. Harassing other in-game for their crosshair selection is no way to vent your frustration after losing a round.

It can be expected that the Valorant devs will take a look at this issue in the near future and ship out a patch giving players the option to hide their crosshair.

Game Breaking CSGO Bug Found With New Ping System

Game Breaking CSGO Bug Found With New Ping System

It has been over three weeks since the initial release of Operation Broken Fang, but it seems like some game breaking bugs are still left unnoticed by the developers as players have reported being able to spot enemies through walls using a glitch with the new ‘Ping’ system in the shooter.

CSGO Ping Bug

The bug involves using the ‘Ping’ feature at a certain part of the map and waiting for your opponent to pass through it. Players get a visual indication whenever an enemy passes through that ping, enabling them to spot their opposition through walls and even pre-firing at them.

Don Haci has shared a demonstration of this bug in a tweet. In the video, Na’Vi star ‘m0NESY’ can be seen using his ping outside A apps on Inferno to spot an enemy T passing through it. This information can be easily used to gain an unfair advantage across many spots on every map in the game. Another obvious example would be B Apps on Mirage.

While the exploit hasn’t been fixed as of yet, it’s likely to be patched out by the developers in the next few hours. Major game-breaking exploits like these can significantly disrupt the gameplay experience of the player base and are, therefore, generally fixed quickly.

Tony Flame’s Twitter Account Hacked; hacker critises SBMM

Tony Flame, lead game designer for Black Ops Cold War, had his Twitter account hacked on the morning of Christmas. While it is not clear whether the attack was by an individual or a group, his feed was full of racial abuses. Twitter has since locked his account.

Flame has gained popularity for having a huge influence on Black Ops Cold War, as well as how its developments are passed on to the media. His Twitter feed was filled with updates and developments around the game.

Of all the tweets posted, the one that went viral was one asking Activision to remove Skill Based Matchmakng(SBMM), because it was “runining the game I worked hard to make.” The feature, one of the most polarising, has not been addressed by the developers and continues to divide opinions among fans.

The account, which is still hacked, has been locked from posting any content. Activision or Flame have not yet commented anything on this matter.
