Valorant Error Code 84: How To Fix It?

Recently, a lot of Valorant players have reported encountering the notorious ‘Error Code 84’ while trying to play the competitive shooter. Today, we’re gonna explain to you why this error is caused, and what you can do to fix this and get back to playing Valorant at the earliest.

Fix ‘Error Code: 84’ in Valorant

What is error code 84 in Valorant?

The Error Code 84 is primarily caused when your client is having trouble connecting to the Valorant servers. While it may initially appear like it’s your internet that’s at fault, chances are that it isn’t. The most common occurrence behind the Error Code 84 is problems in the Valorant servers themselves, which means there’s nothing much you can do manually to fix it.

These server outages can be caused due to a number of reasons ranging from technical difficulties to scheduled maintenances.

As strange as this may sound, the best way to handle this Error Code 84 is to wait it out. We already mentioned earlier that this error is mainly caused due to server outages, and there’s nothing you can do to fix it.

If there’s a technical difficulty, chances are high that Riot will patch it out in a matter of minutes. The same goes for scheduled maintenances which may take a couple of hours at best.

In the rare scenario that there’s a problem with your internet itself, you can always try to check your internet connectivity or restart your router.

How To Reset Valorant Night Market Skins

Riot has introduced a new Valorant Night Market refresh through their patch 1.14 on December 9th. While the majority of the Valorant player base are appreciating this new addition, some players are also facing a few problems.

The Night Market provides players with 6 chances to receive random weapon skins at a discounted rate. The skins that you choose or the discount that you receive on each skin are completely random.

This randomness has to lead to certain difficulties since a portion of the Valorant player base isn’t getting any skin they want in their first six draws. A lot of players have been looking for methods to “reset” the draws. Lets’ take a look at how it’s done.

Valorant Night Market Skins Refresh

Unfortunately, the only way to reset the Night Market draws is to purchase some of the weapon skins from the store that you draw from your first six tries. Once you use an offer from the Night Market, the slot will unlock and you can draw another offer once again.

If you decide to use all the six offers you unlocked, you’ll gain access to another set of six offers again.

Remember, you only have limited time to do so since the Night Market expires in approximately a month. However, due to its popularity among the player base, it’s likely that Riot will consider bringing it back in a future update.

How to play Cyberpunk 2077 on mobile using Google Stadia and Nvidia Geforce Now

If you are one of those players who were looking forward to playing CD Projekt Red’s most ambitious open-world RPG, Cyberpunk 2077, but don’t own a modern PC or console to play it on, then don’t worry Google and Nvidia have got you covered. In this article we are going to describe how you can play Cyberpunk 2077 on mobile.

With the release yesterday, Cyberpunk 2077 is finally available on PC, Consoles, and Mobile. Yes, that’s right the game is also available on mobile from day 1 via cloud gaming streaming service Google Stadia and Nvidia Geforce Now.

How to play Cyberpunk 2077 on mobile

While technically it isn’t a mobile game, but with good enough internet and a supported device, you can finally enjoy the game without feeling left behind. You can play the game on mobile using two methods. One of them is Google Stadia and the other one is Geforce Now.

How to play Cyberpunk 2077 on Google Stadia

To game on Stadia, all you need to do is purchase Cyberpunk 2077 on the Stadia store, no Stadia subscription is needed to Cyberpunk 2077 afterward.

Currently, Stadia has a limited-time deal on right now where with every purchase of Cyberpunk 2077 you will receive a Stadia Premiere Edition, which includes a Stadia controller and Chromecast Ultra.

The offer is live now and expires next week on 18th December. 

As of now, playing games via Stadia is only available on Android and PC as Apple disallows cloud-based gaming on its devices.

Note that Stadia is currently available only in select states/countries, also the Stadia app currently doesn’t support every device so before purchasing the game check your device compatiblity.

Stadia does support upto 4K resolution, but there is no ray-tracing support available in Stadia and to game at 4K you would need a much faster internet connection than the minimum 10Mbps requirement.  

How to play Cyberpunk 2077 on Geforce Now 

Currently to play Cyberpunk with raytracing enabled you will need to purchase RTX GPU or use Nvidia’s Geforce Now service.

With Geforce Now, players just need to own a copy of the game on either GOG, Steam, or Epic Games Store. Unlike Stadia, Geforce Now offers more flexibility and supports more devices.

Geforce Now is available on Windows or Mac PC, Nvidia Shield, Chromebook, Android or Safari for iPhone and iPad support.

You’ll also need a minimum of 15 Mbps and preferably 25 Mbps internet speed to play the game at the highest settings on 1080p. 

Although it only runs at 1080p resolution max, you’ll be able to use the highest quality settings.

While to turn on raytracing you’ll also need to pay $6 a month for a Founder’s membership which will you get priority access to GeForce Now servers, six hours of session time, and raytracing support.

While a free version of Geforce now is available, the free session times are limited to one hour and you won’t get priority access to servers meaning you have to queue long to get a chance at playing.

PUBG Mobile India: NCPR ‘Not in Favour’ of Game’s Relaunch in India

In another blow to the hopes of millions of PUBG Mobile enthusiasts in India, The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPR) are reportedly not in favour of the game’s relaunch in India.

The body strongly ‘recommends against’ the release of PUBG Mobile India apk, made solely for the Indian region until there are legislations in place that ensure incidents like suicides, killings and more that have happened before in relation to the game do not become commonplace once more.

However, this does not seem aligned with the facts presented beforehand, as Krafton have mentioned several new features in the new application to work towards the same. Such features include a game time restriction to prevent addiction, no ‘real blood’ that aids in not promoting violence and many other small tweaks to ensure the application is aligned with the aim of the National government.

This also notifies the Indian audience that talks are still ongoing regarding the relaunch of the game and perhaps, we aren’t that far away from PUBG Mobile India hitting the market. Maybe 2021 will usher in joy for the users waiting to play PUBG Mobile once again, legally.

New Among Us Map ‘The Airship’ Revealed, Coming Early 2021

As promised by InnerSloth in their tweet earlier, the developers have finally revealed the first looks on their upcoming map ‘The Airship’ at The Game Awards today.

The Henry Stickmin themed map was initially announced a couple of weeks ago and later teased by the devs on multiple occasions. According to them, this map will be even “bigger than Polus.”

‘The Airship’ is also set to bring some unique and exciting new features to the murder-mystery title. These include the implementation of ladders, elevators, and new kill animations. Another upcoming feature that the player base is looking forward to is the ability to choose spawn points after meetings.

Originally released in 2018, Among Us failed to gain any significant traction in the gaming community before it was picked up by some popular streamers and content creators this year.

Among Us was crowned as the winner of two categories in The Game Awards – ‘Best Multiplayer’ and ‘Best Mobile Game.’

Cloud9 disband Korean Valorant roster

North American organisation have announced their exit from the Korean Valorant scene for now, dissolving their KR roster.

Cloud9 boasted of three Valorant Rosters, one of which was the Korean one since the inception of the competitive Valorant scene.

Their Korean Roster’s best performance came in the APE Valorant Battle as they beat T1’s Korean roster to win the entire event.

However, Cloud9 Korea had a disappointing showing at Valorant First Strike: Korea, exiting in the semi-final to Vision Strikers, the ultimate winners of the event.

With Cloud9 dissolving their Korean division, the players are now seeking a new organisation and a new home individually, with one of the most prominent names and an icon of the Korean Counter Strike scene Son ‘xeta’ Seon-ho also left to look for a new team in Valorant.

C9 Korean Valorant roster before the dissolution was as follows:
  • Park “Bazzi” Jun-ki (박준기)
  • Byeon “Munchkin” Sang-beom (변상범)
  • Yu “BuZz” Byung-chul (유병철)
  • Lee “Hate” Ye-hun (이예훈)
  • Son “Xeta” Seon-ho (손선호)
  • Hyun “Pavane” Sang Yu (유현상) (Head coach)
  • Yoon “Autumn” Eu-ddeum (윤으뜸) (Coach)

How To Break Candy Cane Knife In Valorant

The ‘Winter Wonderland’ skin bundle has added a new and unique melee weapon to Valorant, but there seems to be more to it 

The Winter Wonderland skin collection contains skins for the following weapons included in it: Phantom, Vandal, Ghost, Marshal, Melee. Each of these weapon skins features a winter-themed look that changes in-game depending on whether you’re standing in a bright or dark area.

However, the most interesting part of this new skin bundle is perhaps the easter egg hidden inside the Candy Cane knife that allows players to transform it into a dagger.

How to get the new Candy Cane Dagger in Valorant

To obtain the Candy Cane Dagger from your Candy Cane Melee, all you have to do is hit on the walls, boxes, or barries when you’re in-game.

The number of hits required to change the form of your Candy Cane knife to the dagger seems to be random. Your best bet is to keep knifing walls and barriers at the start of the round or whenever you can to maximize your chances of obtaining it.

Once you keep hitting the walls long enough, you’ll see your Cane changing into a dagger which you’ll continue to have for the rest of the half in the game.

However, from a third-person perspective, others won’t be able to see any change in your knife.

Everything else like the inspect animation, equip time, or attack animation will still be the same.
