Valorant: FPX part ways with Meddo

Fun Plus Phoenix have announced the departure of Johan ‘Meddo’ Lundborg from their Valorant roster. The announcement iterates that the decision was a mutual one. However, Meddo’s tweet has insinuated that he ‘was surprised when he go the news yesterday’, which hints at this not being a mutual decision.

Meddo had an underwhelming First Strike Finals, with the Cypher main averaging merely 156.8 ACS, with a less than 1 Kill/Death Ratio.

The 21-year-old also converted just 5% of his clutches at the event as the entire FPX roster underperformed in their defeat to SUMN FC in the Semi-Finals of Valorant First Strike: Europe.

Meddo was part of the FABRIKEN roster that was signed to be a part of the FPX roster alongside his teammates Pontus ‘Zyppan’ Eek and Tobias ‘ShadoW’ Flodstrom.

The 21-year-old has iterated his desire to find a new home as soon as possible to continue his journey in the Valorant ecosystem.

With the release of Meddo, FPX are now down to four players.

  • Kirill ‘ANGE1’ Karasiow
  • Andrey ‘Shao’ Kiprsky
  • Tobias ‘ShadoW’ Flodstrom
  • Pontus ‘Zyppan’ Eek

How to get Shadow Tracker Exotic pistol in Fortnite

Shadow Tracker Exotic pistol is introduced in Fortnite as part of Season 5, Chapter 2. Like every exotic weapon, it is super rare and only tradable for gold bars.

Gold bars are freshly introduced as a parallel currency for in-game items involving five exotic weapons to splash the Gold on. Every exotic weapon comes at a cost of 1,225 Gold bars.

How to get the Shadow Tracker Exotic pistol in Fortnite:

  • Make your way to Dirty Docks.
  • Go into the building on the far end of the map.
  • Find the NPC who goes by the name Reese.
  • Interact with her and look through what she has to offer.
  • Hover over the Shadow Tracker pistol and select it.

Make sure you have enough gold to trade for the guns, but given the odds, you are better off looking for other guns to win a game of Fortnite. These guns are not always as effective as the hard work you must put in to get it, but if it works for you then it’s worth the effort.

The Night Market will be accessible from December 10th.

  • Pathing should hopefully be more predictable from attackers approaching the site and defenders retaking the site

  • This should allow attackers to approach the site more safely, and a quicker retake of the site for defenders
  • Reduced the height of the yellow container.

New Valorant Map teased at Valorant First Strike Korea

Riot Games may have teased an upcoming Valorant map in the opening ceremony of Valorant First Strike Korea, and fans are already hyped about what seems to be a castle-themed map.

The latest Valorant map ‘Icebox’ was introduced to the shooter through the Act 3 update. While the snowy map seemed to have a lot of interesting stuff (like zip lines) included in it, players weren’t particularly happy about the overall map layout. This led to repeated demands from the community for a new Valorant map, and it looks like Riot has listened to the fans.

In the Valorant First Strike Korea opening ceremony, pictures of a castle surrounded by stone walls made multiple appearances in the background. Fans are believing this could be a hint towards the next map.

Previously, the developers had revealed that they were looking to “accelerate” the map-development process till they get to a minimum of 7 maps. After the addition of Icebox, the possibly upcoming castle-themed map might be the first step of Riot to reach their aim.

Besides the recurring picture of the castle, fans could also witness teasers for the next Valorant agent. According to leaks and hints from several sources, the next Valorant agent might be Japanese and named ‘Samurai Mori’.

Valorant Bug Crashes The Game When Clicking On ‘Career’

Valorant Bug Crashes The Game When Clicking On ‘Career’

A new Valorant bug that surfaced recently has already become a cause of concern for the majority of the Valorant player base. The game-breaking bug instantly crashes the Valorant client for the player encountering it and doesn’t seem to have any known fix at the time of writing.

How does the bug work?

The ‘Career’ option in Valorant can be clicked to freely check the past stats of a player including information on past Acts. However, players are finding it impossible to select the ‘Career’ button as doing so results in instantly freezing the client itself, ultimately crashing it. Many players have reported that there seems to be no fix for this issue, and the problem repeats itself every time a player clicks on ‘Career’.

In case you’re experiencing the same problem, it’s best to not attempt to look at your (or your friends’) careers right now. You can play the game without encountering any issues.

Due to the rising number of player reports regarding the situation, it’s highly likely that Riot will ship out a patch to their competitive shooter to address the problem. For now, all the community can do is wait till the patch arrives.

Free Fire Ambassador – All You Need To Know

We have previously seen Garena’s Free Fire collaborate with a number of celebrities including DJ Alok, DJ KSHMR, Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan, or the popular Netflix series ‘Money Heist’. This time, it looks like the battle royale is looking to enter the world of soccer as a free fire collaboration with the legendary football superstar might be on the horizon. Let’s talk about the Brand Ambassador of Free Fire.

Who Is the Brand Ambassador of Free Fire?

Cristiano Ronaldo is the Brand Ambassador of Free Fire. Free Fire has officially launched its Operation Chrono update on the global servers. The new update is themed as Operation Chrono and will be pushed globally in the upcoming days.

The new update is officially available on Google Play and Apple App Store but if you are facing any difficulties while downloading the game, use the link given below to download the Free Fire OB25 update.

Free Fire Operation Chrono will be the theme of this new update. The Chrono event was already launched by the game prior to the update where players had to complete various tasks to win exclusive skins and rewards.

This season might be very fancy for its players as many upcoming additions will add charm to this game. A possible collaboration between Free Fire and football star Cristiano Ronaldo was leaked and confirmed.

This collaboration might add a new character to the game, and it was almost confirmed by the Chrono event itself. Typing “Cristiano Ronaldo” in the ‘Guess the Ambassador’ box granted some rewards in return.
