XDefiant’s Best TAC 50 Loadouts

The best loadouts in the game that let you lay back and test the TAC 50 sniper rifle on the field while enjoying a massive K/D in the process are what make the gun some of the most powerful weapons in the game. 

When it comes to the TAC 50 vs M82, which one is better?

While the M82 is semi-automatic, the gun has a heavy recoil pattern which is often hard to master. Even with its bolt-action shots the TAC 50 is one of the best sniper rifles in the game that can take out unarmored opponents in one shot.

The best load-outs for the TAC 50 in Xdefiant

The TAC-50 is a ridiculously strong weapon right out of the box, and to speak the truth, there isn’t much required to make it even stronger. A minimal lot of great players still use simple loadouts for the gun where you only have to reach a decent level of 14.

TAC 50 XDefiant

But when observing, you will notice there are only six attachment categories available for this weapon, unlike others in the game. You still only get to add five (well if you count the must-have scope for a sniper rifle) 

The default scope will get the job done but reduces your mobility drastically. Trust us when we tell you that there will be no compilation-worthy moments with that loadout. For that, as promised, here is the loadout configuration : 

  • Barrel: Chrome Lined
  • Optics: Sniper Scope
  • Magazine: Quick Mag
  • Rear Grip: Heavy Grip
  • Stock: Padded

With the massive firepower housed in your arms, adding our suggested loadout will greatly improve its accuracy, with faster reload times helping you shoot your shots faster. Try this to improve your K/D.

Well, what do I pair it with?

We’ve got you covered. What goes well with power? Power. The 686 Magnum is the best secondary weapon to finish off wounded enemies you whiffed on with your TAC-50. Someone’s pushing you? Get the mag out, hit a few shots, and get right back to sniping. It’s like a match made in heaven. 

Also, don’t forget this device add-on

If you are sniping with a TAC-50 in XDefiant, DO NOT expect your team to watch your back, you self-centered narcissist. Use this device to avoid getting flamed by your teammates who are busy playing the objective while you call yourself the “sniper” camping in some corner of the map. 

The device is none other than the proximity mine. This should take care of things for you. Not only can it get you easy frags,  but it also will catch flanking opponents off guard, alerting you of their movement right off the bat. 

Summing it up, the above loadouts will not make you a better sniper player, but they sure will improve your chances of being a better one. Good luck!

How to Unlock Proximity Mines in XDefiant?

0

Ever since its release XDefiant has been successful in captivating a sizable player base. The game’s concept of bringing together characters from different games was the biggest attraction for players. Being a free-to-play first-person shooter, not all weapons or devices are unlocked from the start. To unlock certain weapons and devices, you need to complete some challenges in the game. Today, let’s take a look at how to unlock proximity mines in XDefiant.

How do you unlock proximity mines in XDefiant?

Image Credits: Gaming Problems Solved! via YouTube

Thankfully, it is straightforward to unlock proximity mines in XDefiant. All you have to do is deal 1,000 damage to your opponents with a device. There is no obligation to complete this challenge in one match. So the best advice is, to keep throwing those Sticky Grenades at your enemy, and eventually you will complete this challenge.

How to deal damage with devices in XDefiant?

As mentioned earlier, you just need to hurl those grenades at your enemy and you should complete the challenge soon. To do that you first need to add grenades in your loadout to be able to use them in the match. Make sure you deal damage with the grenade as much as you can. This will ensure that you will complete the challenge quickly.

How does a proximity mine work in XDefiant?

Proximity mines are simple, all they do is sit where you throw them and wait for an enemy to pass by. As soon as it detects an enemy, the proximity mine jumps up in the air and explodes, dealing heavy damage to every enemy within its range. To deal the most damage with proximity mines in XDefiant, place them where your enemies cannot spot them. Usually, behind a door or in front of a corner.

This way, the proximity mine is not visible to your enemies and should deal heavy damage. So what are you waiting for? Hurry up and get those grenades in your loadout to complete the challenge as quickly as possible.

Yinlin Wuthering Waves Release Date

Wuthering Waves has managed to maintain a sizable player base ever since its release. Makers of the game, Kuro Games, frequently come out with highly rewarding in-game events and free rewards. This helps Kuro Games to maintain good player experience and engagement. Additionally, the game features multiple playable characters aka Resonators in the game. Each of these characters come with their own special abilities. With that being said, Kuro Games have announced a new character coming to the game.

When is the release date for Yinlin in Wuthering Waves?

Kuro Games had earlier announced the new character, Yinlin would be released on June 12th, 2024. However, they would later change their schedule and announce that Yinlin would be released earlier than planned. Kuro Games have confirmed that Yinlin would be released on June 6th, 2024. This means that Jiyan’s banner would be ending earlier than planned to make way for Yinlin’s banner.

Here is the introduction of Yinlin as mentioned on Wuthering Waves’ official website: “Previously known as an outstanding Jinzhou Patroller, Yinlin is steady and reliable, yet harbors hidden depths of secrets. She excels at exploiting resources at her disposal to uncover lurking crimes. Beneath her aloof and flamboyant exterior, Yinlin possesses a heart of gold, reserved only for those she deems trustworthy.”

How useful is Yinlin in Wuthering Waves?

Kuro Games have designed Yinlin to take on dual roles as a support and DPS in combat. Her skills and attacks are all based on her puppet called Zapstring. In certain situations, her abilities solidify her usefulness even when she is not in combat. Yinlin’s Punishment Mark ability makes her stand out as once multiple enemies are marked, dealing damage to any one of the enemy would result in damage to all other marked enemies.

Yinlin’s unique abilities have resulted in a surge in demand for her. All we have to do now is to wait till June 6th, 2024. Her banner will be available till the next update is released for Wuthering Waves on June 28th, 2024.

Why was Ash Removed from Brawl Stars? Update from Supercell

Brawl Stars recently announced that Ash has been taken out of the game following some issues. The character was introduced to the game in August 2021 during Season 8. Many players were disappointed to see their favourite character being taken out of the game. Let’s take a look and understand why was Ash removed from Brawl Stars.

In a post on Brawl Stars’ official X handle, it was announced that Ash will be disabled from the Duel game mode. The post read “Heads up, we have temporarily disabled Ash from being played in the Duels game mode, due to an issue where he would crash the game.” This meant that the character was removed from Duel mode only. However, this would change quickly as Brawl Stars replied to the own post and confirmed that “Ash has been disabled in all game modes until we fix this issue.”

We are yet to see any more updates from Brawl Stars. At the moment of writing, the character is still not available in the game in any of the modes. The removal Ash was done in response to some players complaining about being matched against an opponent with Ash, this would crash their game and the player would lose their trophies.

Supercell has asked players to be patient as they are currently working on a fix. Meanwhile, some players have been pleading to bring back their favorite character to the game. With that being said, the best we can do now is to wait for an official fix from the developers. I would rather have a stable game than having a bug causing character in the game.

LoL Patch 14.12: Release Date and Champion Changes

League of Legends (LoL) players are eagerly anticipating the release of Patch 14.12, which is set to bring a host of changes to the game’s champions, items, and systems. Following the more conservative Patch 14.11, which focused on nerfing some overperforming champions, the upcoming patch promises to be a game-changer with its adjustments and new content.

Release Date and Expectations

Patch 14.12 is scheduled to be released on Wednesday, June 12, as confirmed by multiple sources. This update is one of the 24 planned for the year, and it’s expected to have a significant impact on the game’s meta, although the full extent of the changes is not yet clear.

Champion Changes

Aatrox and Naafiri Adjustments

Aatrox is seeing a mix of nerfs and buffs, with his health regen growth being reduced and armor growth increased. His E ability, Umbral Dash, will have its damage vamp altered, and his ultimate, World Ender, will receive a significant increase in healing amplification at all ranks.

Naafiri’s passive, We Are More, will provide more base AD to packmates, and her Q ability, Darkin Daggers, will have a slightly higher cooldown at early ranks but remain the same at max rank. Additionally, her E ability, Eviscerate, will see a cooldown reduction.

ADC Changes

The patch initially included a massive stat pass for multiple ADCs, aiming to increase their defensive scaling while reducing AD and attack speed growth. However, these changes were reverted shortly after the patch notes were released, indicating that the developers may need more time before implementing such major adjustments.

Item and System Changes

Opportunity’s lethality will now work with the Jack of All Trades rune, offering players new ways to optimize their builds and strategies. Additionally, the First Strike rune in the Inspiration tree will have its base gold reduced from 15 to 10, as Riot aims to prevent it from becoming too powerful.

Upcoming Skins

Players can look forward to a variety of new skins, including Risen Legend Ahri, Immortalized Legend Ahri, Signature Ahri, Risen Legend Leblanc, and Crystal Indomitus Xerath. These skins are set to be available on July 28, 2022.

As we await the full list of changes in Patch 14.12, it’s clear that the update will bring significant tweaks to champions and the overall game experience. With the adjustments to Aatrox and Naafiri, the integration of item interactions, and the introduction of new skins, players have much to look forward to. Keep an eye out for the patch’s release on June 12 and prepare to dive into the Hall of Legends.

Tempest Mephis Location in Wuthering Waves

Wuthering Waves players are in for a treat as they seek out the formidable Overlord-class boss, Tempest Mephis. Known for its Electro damage and the ability to buff Heavy Attack DMG, Tempest Mephis is a sought-after encounter for those looking to harness its power through the game’s unique “Echoes” system. In this guide, we’ll navigate you to the Tempest Mephis location and provide strategies to conquer this electrifying adversary.

Where to Find Tempest Mephis?

To locate the Tempest Mephis, set your sights northwest of Qichi Village. The quickest route involves teleporting to the Resonance Nexus situated north of Qichi Village in the Central Plains. From there, follow the west road until you encounter a stone clearing with a pit. A leap into this pit will bring you face-to-face with the boss, ready for battle.

Tempest Mephis Boss Rewards

Victory against Tempest Mephis yields a treasure trove of rewards, including Astrite, Hidden Thunder Tacet Core, various Medium Cores and Potions, Shell Credit, the coveted Tempest Mephis Echo, and Union EXP. These items are essential for enhancing your gameplay and furthering your adventure in Wuthering Waves.

The Power of Tempest Mephis Echo

The Tempest Mephis Echo is a transformative ability that allows players to assume the form of the Overlord, unleashing a devastating tail/claw combo that inflicts massive Electro DMG. The damage dealt scales with the Echo’s rarity, offering a range of potency from 73.66% to 175.68% for tail and claw attacks. After executing this attack, players receive a 12% boost to Electro DMG and Heavy Attack DMG for a brief period.

Strategies for Defeating Tempest Mephis

To emerge victorious against Tempest Mephis, it’s crucial to employ parries and counterattacks effectively. These maneuvers can break the boss’s Vibration Strength, leaving it staggered and vulnerable to increased damage. Remember, Tempest Mephis is resistant to Electro-based DPS, so adjust your Echoes accordingly and steer clear of Electro characters for this fight. While most attacks can be parried, watch out for its laser attack, which requires a timely dodge. Take advantage of moments when the boss remains stationary to further reduce its Vibration Strength.

By following this guide, players can confidently track down and challenge Tempest Mephis, adding its powerful Echo to their arsenal and advancing their prowess in the electrifying world of Wuthering Waves.
