Fortnite: How to find Wolverine and defeat him

The Wolverine Challenge brought hype to Fortnite once it was announced. This marks the sixth week of the challenge and introduces a new set of tasks for the players in their chase for the ultimate prize, the Wolverine skin in Fortnite. In week players will also encounter the Wolverine himself and will be rewarded handsomely. Follow this guide to locate and beat the superhero from Marvel Universe:

Week 6 Challenges are:

  • Search Chests at Weeping Woods (7)
  • Eliminations at Misty Meadows (3)
  • Collect Stone from Coral Castle (300)
  • Consume a Legendary fish (1)
  • Consume Foraged Items at Holly Hedges (10)
  • Ride a Zipline from Retail Row to Steamy Stacks (1)
  • Deal damage after knocking an opponent back with Black Panther’s Kinetic Shockwave (1,000)

How To Find The Wolverine?

Fortnite Weeping Woods map location

In the marked location, namely Misty Meadows, Wolverine is supposed to wander. Make sure you leave ‘Visualize Sound Effects’ turned on as sometimes players can miss out on the feeble sound he makes as an NPC. Once he makes the slightest of sounds, a visual indication will show up on your screen directing towards his location in the woods.

We advise you to drop in the vicinity of his location and grab certain things before engaging. You will have a better chance to beat him if the approach will full health and shield. Top-up yourself with resources, shields, ammunition, and most importantly long-range riflers and close-range burst rifles or shotguns of at least rare or above quality.

How To Beat The Wolverine?

The most annoying part of facing him is his regenerative ability. The Wolverine regenerates swiftly and comes at you with all his might. He prefers close-range attacks which are essentially death sentence as a single hit from his claws takes away a chunk of your shield and health.

Once you spot him, use the long-ranged rifle for offense and upon it discovering your presence, use the shotgun or the burst rifle to push it back after it charges at you with his claws. Make sure your attacks are in quick succession and your timing with the close-range guns are on point to avoid taking any damage while dealing damage to him in return.

Attacks in quick succession will help in lower his health quicker and he will try to heal in any given opportunity. Completing this task as soon as possible will keep the thought of the storm away from the back of your mind.

Once players complete the challenge and beat the final boss in our beloved Logan, the Wolverine skin will be unlocked in their inventories.

How to change region in Valorant

Valorant is a multiplayer game that is enjoyed at its fullest when you play with your friends. There is always a regional hurdle when you try to enjoy any Riot Games’ titles. One cannot select the region as they are assigned with a region from where they registered their Riot ID. If you still want to enjoy Valorant with your friends overseas, you can do so by trying these following methods.

There used to be a region selection option whenever one opted to create a new ID but recently, Riot games changed that system and now they assign you the closest region from where you belong.

If you have created an ID in India, then chances are your ID is already assigned to South Asia or SEA region. Still, there are two simple methods to change the regions:

Create a new Riot ID:

This is the simplest method to enjoy the game from a completely different region. As mentioned above, Riot assigns the region based on your location and hence, you can simply create a new ID by using a VPN and then enjoy the game permanently from that region. To do so, follow these steps:

  • By using any VPN you trust, connect to the region from which you want to play.
  • Click here to create a new ID.
  • Once a new ID is created, you can switch off the VPN and just log in through Valorant and enjoy the game from a different location.

By using this method, what you essentially do is just create a new ID in a new region hence you can play in those respective servers. Also, VPN is only required once, and hence this is the simplest method to change the region by creating a completely new ID. Log in with this new region-specific id to play with your abroad friends.

Manually Change your region:

If you do not wish to create a new ID, there is another solution but this one might take some time and is probably irreversible. Here, what you basically have to do is to head onto the official website and change your region manually but once chanced, the chances are you cannot revert it back to the original and will get stuck to the new region forever. Here is how to do so:

  • Head to the Valorant Support page and log in.
  • After login, the region from which your account registers will be showcased, change it to whichever one you desire.
  • After confirmation, the region will be changed to the newly selected area.
  • If the steps above don’t work. You can submit a ticket with the region change request and the officials will help you with the issue.

The biggest downside for using this method is that your account won’t be reverted back to your original region hence be careful while making the decision. We recommend you to simply create a new ID for playing cross-region.

Be ready to play with your friends throughout the planet by using these two simple methods. While the ping won’t be in your favor, your friends will be there to back you up and most importantly you can enjoy their company in Valorant.

Research Forecasts Video Games Subscription Revenue to Exceed $11 billion by 2025

Research Forecasts Video Games Subscription Revenue to Exceed $11 billion by 2025

Hampshire, UK – 5th October 2020: A new report from Juniper Research has found that video games service platforms, such as EA Play and PlayStation Now, will grow to an $11 billion sector by 2025, up from an estimated $6.6 billion this year. These platforms represent a strong new revenue stream for an industry experiencing a revenue decline of around 3% per year over the next five years.

However, Juniper Research expects cloud gaming subscriptions to comprise only 25% of this revenue over the forecast period, as more general service platforms have fewer limits on their adoption. 

Will Cloud Gaming Change the Way We Play? Whitepaper Download

Subscription Services a Success Story

Juniper Research’s new report, Video Games: Industry Trends, Monetisation Strategies & Market Size 2020-2025 Report, shows that subscriptions accessed through PCs will be the biggest segment; accounting for over $5 billion in revenue in 2025. This will be dominated by games publishers, as they can make the most popular titles exclusive to their services, and supplement them with studio acquisitions.

While tie-ups between services do exist, such as that recently announced by EA Play and Xbox Game Pass, these will become less common as space grows.

Despite a booming mobile games market, mobile games subscriptions will be niche, with less than 1% of mobile gamers worldwide using a games subscription service on their smartphone.

Cloud Technology on Old Rails

Meanwhile, cloud gaming is not being held back by demand for the services, which already have millions of users, but by a lack of awareness in many places. Slow data speeds also limit its reach in many markets, as data is needed for playability. This will limit the technology’s adoption to around 1% of active gamers globally.

‘Cloud gaming is a highly concentrated market, with over 60% of anticipated subscriptions to be in the US and China,’ remarked research co-author James Moar. ‘Targeting specific types of players in these markets will bring sustainable success, but awareness of cloud gaming outside of particular gamer segments will keep the market niche.’

VALORANT Act 3 – what to expect from the next battlepass

VALORANT Act 3 – what to expect from the next battlepass

With Act 2 of Riot’s tactical shooter Valorant nearing its end, fans are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the next Valorant act which is set to arrive in the next few days. The introduction of the new act will refresh the ranks of all players, and the current ranks will be locked to the accounts as their Act rank in the game.

What is Valorant Battlepass?

A Battle Pass allows players to progress through tiers and earn certain player cards, player titles, weapon charms, sprays, and weapon skins. 

Radianite points earned through the Battle Pass can be used to evolve certain weapon skins and other content types in the game. Radianite points can be obtained through the Battle Pass in every act or purchased directly on through the store.

  • If you are spending time playing VALORANT, you should earn XP and progress towards unlocking cosmetic items for your collection.
  • People that don’t opt-in to the Premium Battle Pass should still be able to earn the rewards that commemorate their participation during the Battle Pass’ duration. The feeling of “I was there” is something we want everyone to be proud of.
  • If you purchase the Premium version of the Battle Pass, you will simply get more rewards. There is no pay to win.
  • Quality of rewards takes priority over quantity.

When is Valorant Patch 1.10 (ACT 3) coming?

Riot has already confirmed on multiple Occasions that Valorant Act 3 will arrive on October 13th.

Episode 1 Act 3 will release at the following times on October 13: 

  • NA/LATAM/BR – 6 AM PDT
  • Korea/APAC – 2 PM PDT
  • EU – 8 PM PDT.

If you play in North American servers, you’ll be able to queue for your last ranked game this Act till 4:30 AM Pacific Time. Games queued after that will count towards your next Act’s rank.

What’s new in Valorant Patch 1.10 (ACT 3)?

Other than the rank reset, nothing much is confirmed by Riot as of yet on what’s about to happen on the 13th. But don’t worry, Riot has left a number of hints teasing an upcoming agent or a new map (or both).

The first clue left by Riot dates back to September 24th, when the Valorant Twitter account shared a cryptic picture with the caption, “Who’s on the bench?”

The translation turned out to be rather odd,

“A look on the rise

River king

Discovered the place belonged to him”

Players began to suspect that “the rise” could instead be depicted as “Ascent”, the map in Valorant. Interestingly enough, Ascent has a bench in it. “Who’s on the bench,” you ask? 

The answer is Tahm Kench, a champion from League of Legends. Judging by Riot’s tweet, there’s a possibility that he can be the next agent coming to Valorant.

The second teaser was tweeted out by Riot just yesterday. “Decode this,” the tweet said, with an attached image of a similar cryptic picture like the last tweet 

The translation for the image was different this time. 

“Bring a coat, Forget weapon, It is cold over here”

This seems to be pointing towards a potential winter-themed map being added to the game alongside Act 3.

While none of these speculations have been confirmed by Riot themselves, it’s only a matter of time before we find out what the devs have in store for us.

Map advantage in CSGO – What is it?

Map advantage in CSGO – What is it?

Map Advantage in CSGO have now become a common occurrence. In cases where a tournament has both Upper and Lower Bracket, a team that wins the Upper Bracket Finals receives a map advantage, which is basically a default map win whenever the Finals are not best of 1s.

Basically, the Grand Finale consists of two winners – the winner of the Upper Bracket and that of the Lower Bracket. The logic states that since the winner of the Upper Bracket has performed better throughout the event, they don’t deserve to compete on a level-playing field with the winner of the Lower Bracket. Hence, a map advantage is awarded to them in order to compensate for their higher level of performance throughout the tournament.

Many people have questioned the logic behind it in best of 3s and it does make sense, given the fact that a default map win when one has to win just 2 is a big advantage; compared to when it is a best of 5 or even a best of 7.

However, the use of map advantage in terms of Tournament Organisers have been different. The International in Dota 2 does not reward the Upper Bracket winners any more than the Lower Bracket ones. Neither do the CSGO Majors deem it necessary for if the Upper Bracket winners are indeed better, they would have no problem in proving it once again in the Grand Finale.

How to get good at Valorant

Riot Games’ tactical shooter Valorant is one of the hottest titles in the world of FPS games right now, and is regularly played by millions of players worldwide.

With the increasing popularity of the game, the competition between players has grown tougher than ever. More and more players are aspiring to reach for the top levels of competitive play, but not everyone has what it takes to shine.

If you’ve been wanting to get good at Valorant, then you’re at the right place. Now don’t get us wrong, there are no alternatives to hardwork and dedication when it comes to being the best in anything, but we can show you some shortcuts and guide you through the tips on how you can be a better Valorant player.

  • Find your sensitivity: You can never attain your maximum potential in Valorant unless you figure out your ideal sensitivity. There are a lot of guides readily available out there to help you find your Valorant sensitivity, but if you’re coming from another shooter like CSGO or Overwatch you can just take a shortcut and view this guide to convert your sensitivities from different games to Valorant.
  • Create a warm-up routine: This will sound incredibly boring at first, but it’ll help you significantly improve your game in the long run. Before joining into a competitive game, set aside some time for refining your aim. Hop into a deathmatch server or just practice in the training range, make sure your reflexes and muscle memory are fine-tuned before joining a game of competitive Valorant. Your warm-up time should generally range anywhere from thirty to sixty minutes, but no less.
  • Know the maps: Knowing the basic outline of a map isn’t enough to to actually know the map. You’ve got to learn callouts, potential dart and camera locations, and hiding spots for every single map in the game. Take some time out to join a custom game and explore the different parts of the maps, it’s always worth it.
  • Movement: Being a precise marksman isn’t enough to win duels in higher ranks, and that’s why you should put extra effort into developing good movement. Movement primarily includes jumping, bunny hopping, peeking, and counter-strafing. The more you practice these aspects of movements the better you’ll get at taking duels. A good peeker can bait out an Operator shot through shoulder-peeking, and shoot their opponent dead before they get a chance to reposition.
  • Abilities: This is the aspect that separates Valorant from other modern competitive shooters. Mastering at least one Agent’s abilities is crucial for being a good Valorant player. Since you can’t buy grenades in this game, you have to use the Agents’ abilities to compensate for it. Every agent has a different set of skills, all of which can be useful in various situations.

Pick up one Agent that suits you and start spamming it. The more you play a particular Agent, the more you’ll get the hang of its skillset. Also, make sure to do your research on the other Agents’ abilities and plan your counters to each of them.
