Floating Rings Steamy Stacks

Fortnite Battle Royale recently rolled out their v14.40 patch. The inclusion of Fortnitemares: Midas Returns, has been a brilliant move from Epic Games. With a new update comes a set of new Weekly Challenges. Most of the time, these challenges are simple and straightforward. However, when it comes to finding the Floating Rings at Steamy Stacks, players are left without a clue.

Where are the Floating Rings at Steamy Stacks Fortnite?

Here are all FIVE locations. Typically these challenges only require you to find 4 Floating Rings, but this time it’s five, making it just a tiny bit more challenging to complete. Here’s the map:

  1. From left to right:
  2. The first Floating Ring is on a small outdoor ledge on the western side of the westernmost building in Steamy Stacks:
  3. This one is the easiest to find. It’s on a short tower of sorts just to the east of the first building. You can see it from the roof.
  4. Slightly more challenging to find, but still outside, this ring is located on the pipe just to the west of the southernmost Stack. If you go to the southern smokestack and turn around and face west, you’ll see it up there on the pipe.
  5. This one is tricky, as it’s one of the two indoor rings. If you go to the building pictured above, to the right of Mystique, and head inside you’ll find the ring in the giant yellow pincers at the top of the leading interior room. The fifth ring is, appropriately enough, in the big building on the eastern side of the location just north of the southern smokestack with a significant number 5 on the side of it. Go to the southern staircase and head up until you come to a door on your left. Go inside, and you’ll find the floating ring right there. Unfortunately, I snagged the call before I snapped a screenshot. I was in a hurry with the storm bearing down.

This Indian State Wants EA.com banned to Prevent Gambling

0

After banning digital betting platforms last month, the Andhra Pradesh government is now going to impose a new law that will ban numerous websites and apps accused of supporting “harmful activities”. According to an NDTV report, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, the Andhra Pradesh CM has already written to the center demanding a blocking order for 132 websites and apps accused of helping online betting and gambling.

Since the Chinese App Ban Wave, the Indian government has already banned 224 apps for national security reasons. Now CM Reddy has sent a letter to Ravi Shankar Prasad, Union Minister of Communications and IT asking for the ban as it is very important for the society. However, numerous websites including EA.com, Zapak, MiniClip, and many other websites that don’t even promote online gambling and betting are on CM Reddy’s list.

Not only these sites, but also a few more platforms such as MPL, Paytm First Games, Rummy, Poker are also on the list. This is not the first time for Paytm First Games as it was already banned from Google Play Store last month and returned back to the store after two weeks.

Zapak and MiniClip both are free flash game sites while EA.com is a global video game giant company. Neither of them has any role in online betting and gambling. Then why are they listed on CM Reddy’s list? Let us know what do you think in the comment section below.

COD Mobile Operator Skills: Everything you need to know

COD Mobile has a large array of weapons that can be utilised in multiple ways in matches. The core of this game is focused around multiplayer matches and hence, the game is always striving to make better. Multiplayer mode allows players to have customised loadouts with guns, utilities and perks of their own choice.

Alongside this loadout, there is a feature named Operator Skills that makes a huge difference in COD Mobile matches.

COD Mobile Operator Skills:

Operator Skills are specialized weapons or utilities that assist the users in different ways. The skills are oriented in such a way that each item has its own pros and cons, and hence can be a game changer or completely useless as per the prevailing conditions.

The operator skills are features that players can use in matches once it is fully charged. To use any specific feature, players have to modify their loadouts and set operator skills accordingly. There are some aggressive, some multi-purpose and some defensive operator skills that assist players in various ways.

The Operator skill charges as the game proceeds and players can speed up this process by maintaining some kill streaks or complete in-game objectives specific to certain modes. The charging of any skill can be seen with a yellow circular ring around the item. Once it is fully charged, the item is shines brightly and tapping on it switches the gun to that specific item.

Types of Operator Skills:

There are various operator skills that are unlocked at different levels. As one makes progress with their in-game account, subsequent skills are unlocked. Starting with Purifier, the operator skills with higher scope of usage are unlocked in COD Mobile.

Purifier

This skill is a fire blaster that burns down the enemies to ashes if one gets too close to it. This skill is perfect for close quarter combats and has ability to take multiple enemies at the same time. Players can use Purifier in Deathmatches or Domination matches where most of the battles are close ranged.

Purifier is very disadvantageous in mid range fights and experienced players can quickly tackle it by maintaining the necessary distance. Purifier also needs a small time-gap to burn down these enemies and hence, the user can die alongside the enemy if you recieve higher amount of damage.

Scythe

Scythe is an LMG that can be carried as an operator skill. COD Mobile has its own set of LMGs but if players need this gun alongside their AR or SMGs, they can opt for Scythe.

This gun has high damage output and can melt down the enemies but is very heavy to carry around. The players lose high amount of mobility and hence, become an easy target. Using Scythe comes with large number of disadvantages hence it is not a preferable operator skill.

War Machine

War Machine is a grenade launcher that launches mini missiles to a sufficient range and can take down multiple enemies at the same time. Players can use this skill with very ease and hence, it can turn out to be a game changer.

War Machine can become useful in all the modes but especially in Domination, this item turns out to be a beast amongst others.

Tempest

Hold the fire button to build up power and send a bolt of lightning at the target. 

Amp up your loadout with this electrifying weapon, which can shock enemies at any range with its lightning bolts.

The Tempest’s major strength is its ability to potentially turn an entire enemy team into a massive electric current. When a lightning bolt hits an enemy, any enemy within a few feet will also be downed as the current travels to other foes within close range.

Therefore, even though this weapon is great in one-on-one combat, it may really shine against a group of enemies bunched up together. Find those bottlenecks frequented by multiple enemies, equip this Tempest, and fire away… And its effectiveness may shock you.

When using the Tempest, be aware of the short charge up time before it fires its deadly bolts. Have a bit of cover on hand to duck and jump out of to mitigate this charge time, less you get shocked by an enemy before a single bolt is fired.

Places a deformable shield.

Unlike any other Operator Skill available at launch, the Transform Shield shines as a defensive tool.

The Transform Shield is a piece of mobile cover, which can be deadly in the hands of an astute soldier or budding tactician. 

When using the Transform Shield, think about where it might be an inconvenience for someone to get around this shield. Doorways to large indoor areas, entrances to major lanes, or access points to flank routes may all be wise places to put this deployable cover, which can be used to slow an enemy down or act as a stronghold for you to use against hostile forces. Also, when the Transform Shield is deployed there will be a flash effect that occurs in the radius around the shield that could disorient enemies.

Another strategy to consider is deploying it in the heat of battle where cover is limited.

While the Transform Shield may not directly take down enemy forces, it is still an Operator Skill to consider as it could change an entire map’s structure and flow.

Sparrow

Increases range the longer the Sparrow is drawn and has powerful blasting arrows.

Who said the bow and arrow was ancient technology?

The Sparrow is great for hunting down the opposition.

Once activated, tapping the fire button will shoot an arrow forward a short distance. Holding the fire button will pull the bowstring and arrow back farther, which, upon release, will propel the arrow forward at greater speed and distance.

As the tooltip suggests, keeping the Sparrow drawn for a long time will maximize its range. This may be useful for hitting targets that are far away.

However, it’s also possible to volley several arrows forward at a shorter distance by tapping the fire button. Try this out should you need to take out multiple enemies at once.

Last, but certainly not least, the arrow’s explosive payload does do a fair amount of damage. However, scoring a direct hit of an arrow on an enemy will instantly incapacitate them. Try to aim for center mass with the Sparrow, and the resulting explosion may also catch other hostile forces in the area.

These are not the only six Operator Skills in the game; be on the lookout for more powerful abilities and weapons from previous Call of Dutygames to make an appearance in Call of Duty: Mobile. 

But for now, have fun playing around with these Operator Skills in your next Multiplayer match!

Gen.G In Search For An All-Female Valorant Team

0

After the creation of the first women’s professional Fortnite team ‘Bumble’ last year, Gen.G is seeking to sign an all-female roster for Riot’s competitive shooter Valorant.

The South Korean organisation announced the news through their Twitter today. Interested female players can send in their clips to the org along with relevant competitive information to have a shot at the roster.

Only a few days ago, North American organisation Cloud9 announced signing their first all-female Valorant roster under the name ‘Cloud9 White’ with their existing team being renamed to ‘Cloud9 Blue’. The latter made it to the top eight of the first leg of First Strike qualifiers along with TSM, Sentinels, and others.

The expansion of team Bumble to Valorant will be guided by Madison “Maddiesuun” Mann, professional Fortnite player for Gen.G, who’ll help the org in their hunt for new female talents.

“The gaming scene has evolved for women since we launched Team Bumble,” Maddiesunn said. “I’m excited to have the opportunity to mentor and create the next wave of Team Bumble VALORANT pros.”

Genshin Impact Shrine of Depths Location

Genshin Impact is one of the most popular open-world RPG titles of 2020. Released in late September, miHoYo’s title managed to quickly rise in popularity in only a few weeks despite facing some controversies in the initial stages.

The game features a vast open world and rewards players who explore it. Other than various items found across the map, the Shrine of Depths can be found in several locations of Mondstadt and give incredible rewards to players who manage to find them.

Shrine of Depths Locations

Here are all the locations for the Shrine of Depths in Mondstadt:

  • Near Brightcrown Canyon, travel towards the north of the teleportation portal to find the first Shrine.
  • Move towards the south of the portal near Cecilia Garden in Wolvendom to find the second Shrine.
  • From the Statue of The Seven near Dawn Vinery, move along the cliff to find the third Shrine.
  • The fourth Shrine lies above a huge stone wall near Mondstadt Windwail Highland in Springvale.
  • Near the Temple of the Lion, head towards the east to find the fifth Shrine.
  • From the same area, go west to find the sixth Shrine.
  • Once you find the sixth Shrine, start going south and jump over a cliff to find the seventh Shrine.
  • In the Stormbearer mountains, use the Mondstadt Starfell Valley Teleportation Portal and move towards northwest of the region to find the eighth Shrine.
  • The ninth shrine is situated near the Starsnatch Cliff. You have to climb the wall next to the Midsummer Courtyard teleportation portal and head towards the top edge. From the top edge, you can jump down to find the Shrine.
  • Use the Statue of The Seven teleportation portal in Dawn Winery and go southwest until you arrive at a waterfall. You have to jump over this waterfall and keep moving forward till you find the tenth Shrine of Depths.

Team G2 confirm Niko transfer – CSGO

Spanish organization G2 has confirmed the arrival of Nikola ‘Niko’ Kovac from Faze Clan. There is yet to be any mention of the fees involved in such a transaction. However, considering Niko’s stature, it is likely to have cost a fortune to Team G2.


Niko spent more than 3 years at Faze Clan and came ever-so-close to securing the Major title, only to lose to Cloud9 in a dramatic fashion.

Niko’s transfer coincides with rumors of Olof ‘olofmeister’ Kajbjer’s potential return to activity in Faze Clan and it is likely that the Swede will take his former teammate’s place in the active lineup.

As for G2, they now have a 6-man roster and the active lineup is yet to be revealed. There were rumors of Francois ‘Amanek’ Delaunay stepping down to make room for Niko and it will be intriguing to see if that ends up being the case.

Niko thanked the Faze fans, players, and everyone associated with the organization for the time he spent on the roster while also lamenting that perhaps, ‘it’s the best for both parties this way’.

The transfer ensures a brotherly union at G2, with Nemanja ‘huNter’ Kovac already a star for the organisation.

Valorant Players Encountering Login Issues in Worldwide

0

If you’ve been playing Valorant for a while, then you’re probably no stranger to problems logging into your account. Players have reported experiencing various issues with signing into the competitive shooter multiple times in the past.

Generally, to launch Valorant, players have to launch the client first and use their usernames and pass to sign in. When the login issue is prevalent, the game fails to launch. Instead, players are greeted with the message, “We’ve encountered an unknown error. Please wait a moment and try again.”

The reason behind this problem is still unclear, so we can’t recommend a solution for this. A similar problem occurred a few days ago, where players encountered the same error message while logging in. The issue was resolved in a couple of hours.

Riot has acknowledged the problem and mentioned that they’re working on a fix.

“We are aware of a problem causing login attempts to fail and are working on a fix,” the devs said.

It’s likely that the implementation of patch 1.11 has been causing problems in the shooter. The increased load on servers combined with the technical difficulties the new patch has been creating might have resulted in the servers going down for a while.

Sentinels, TSM, and 100 Thieves reach Top 8 in Valorant First Strike NA Qualifiers

0

The first leg of the North American Valorant First Strike qualifiers has nearly concluded, and only eight teams remain out of the 128 participating teams in the Nerd Street Gamers qualifiers.

The top eight teams of North American Valorant include Sentinels, Gen.G, T1, TSM, 100 Thieves, Cloud9 Blue, Team Envy, and Slimy Boogermen. These teams will battle it out today to determine the top 4 teams to move straight to the main event which is scheduled to start from December 3rd. The next four teams will get another shot at First Strike through the second leg of qualifiers.

Here are the remaining matchups for the evening:

  • Sentinels vs Gen.G
  • Team Envy vs T1
  • TSM vs 100 Thieves
  • Cloud9 Blue vs Slimy Boogermen

Surprisingly enough, some popular teams like FaZe Clan, Renegades, Dignitas, or the Cloud9’s all-female team Cloud9 White failed to secure positions in the top 8. This doesn’t mean the end for them, though. The teams that failed to qualify in the first leg get another chance to prove themselves in the UMG qualifiers which will start from November 11th.

The four qualifying teams from the second qualifiers will take on the top four teams from the first qualifier in the main event for a massive prize pool of $100,000.
