Gundam collaboration heading in at full speed for Call of Duty: Warzone and MW3

A Call of Duty x Gundam collaboration was confirmed earlier, with a planned release date that sits right around the launch of season 4 for Modern Warfare 3 & COD: Warzone.

COD Season 4 is set to arrive on May 29th, which means there’s going to be an all-new package of fun collaborations & we’ve gotten the latest intel that indicates the upcoming season’s collaboration is the Call of Duty x Gundam crossover.

But wait, what is Gundam? 

Oops, let’s get that covered. Gundam is an iconic sci-fi franchise created by Yoshiyuki Tomino and Sunrise (Now called Bandai Namco – The famous studio behind the Tekken series), where militarised giant robots with the name “Gundam” are present in the universe.

Since its inception, there have been tonnes of episodes for the series with a sleuth of content around the concept in the form of manga, novels & video games. Gundam is a 50 Bn+ Yen addressable business opportunity in Japan, which is over a whopping $321 Mn+.

Yeah, we see you, basic anime fans. There exists an entire interesting rabbit hole of content other than the “mainstream” shows you’ve watched. 

But, why should I be excited?

Calm down, teme! Here are the details. 

This is a post that COD just posted where they ask us to expect mechanical chaos. While that isn’t a lot of information that was revealed, we do have a vague idea of what could be in store.

Based on historical collaborations we believe there is reason to expect cosmetic items, emblems, and weapon camos with character skins which are the safest bet as of now. Fingers crossed for a COD character decked out in Zeon gear or skins that look like beam rifles.

Some farfetched but fun modes could be introduced where a “mobile suit domination” like mode where teams have to fight over control points with deployable Gundams or Killstreaks could unlock powerful support options as drops such as beam strikes or a limited steam controllable mini suit!

But pulling ourselves back to reality, we noticed that in the teaser that the Call of Duty’s X account posted, a shadow of a Gundam is visible on the side of a building in Japan. 

This is to all of us nerds hoping that it is as fun as the Godzilla x Kong crossover that warped the warzone battle royale into a fun new facet. 

Stay tuned to this space to know more as soon as the new season drops and to forge the future of Gundam together and dominate your feed with classified intel drop a follow and like on Talkesport’s Instagram handle.

Gen.G Takes Down Bilibili Gaming in Mid-Season Invitational Finals To Secure Worlds Spot

The grand finals of the League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational 2024 saw Gen.G take on Bilibili Gaming in a best-of-five series in Chengdu, China.

Gen.G managed to demolish their opponents while dropping only a single game to finish the series with a comfortable score of 3-1. This series win marks the first international win for Jeong “Chovy” Ji-hoon, who is the team’s primary mid-laner, and the first MSI (Mid-Season Invitational) win for Kim “Canyon” Geon-bu, the jungler for Gen.G.

Son “Lehends” Si-woo secured the series MVP for his amazing performances on four different heroes.

While Gen.G looked completely unstoppable during the first two games of the series, Bilibili Gaming managed to strike back in the third game by taking an early lead before securing the map for themselves. The fourth game was an intense back-and-forth showdown between the two teams and was perhaps one of the best games in the entire tournament.

With their victory at the MSI, Gen.G took home a whopping $50,000 in prize money and became the first team to secure a spot at the prestigious 2024 World Championship.

COD Mobile Season 5 Weapon Nerfs and Buffs Leaked

The ever-evolving battlefield of Call of Duty Mobile is set for another shake-up with the upcoming Season 5 update. Leaks have surfaced, revealing a slew of weapon balance changes that are poised to redefine the game’s meta. In this article, we’ll delve into the specifics of these adjustments and how they might impact your gameplay.

COD Mobile Season 5 Weapon Nerfs and Buffs

Slowing Down the MG42

The MG42, a favorite among heavy gunners, will see a slight decrease in base movement speed, dropping from 4.39m/s to 4.28m/s. This change may encourage players to adopt a more stationary playstyle, prioritizing positioning over mobility.

Tweaking the LW3 Tundra

Snipers using the LW3 Tundra will need to adjust to a longer base Aim Down Sight (ADS) time, now increased from 480ms to 500ms. This tweak could challenge snipers to be more deliberate with their shots, as quick-scoping becomes slightly less efficient.

PKM Swap Speed Enhanced

The PKM machine gun will benefit from improved weapon swap in and out speeds, now faster at 0.76/0.55s from the previous 0.84/0.57s. This buff might make the PKM a more viable option in situations where quick reflexes are crucial.

COD Mobile Season 5

Bruen MK9 Gets a Damage Boost

The Bruen MK9 light machine gun will now pack a heavier punch with an increased upper torso damage multiplier, going from 1x to 1.1x. This enhancement could make the Bruen MK9 a more lethal choice in gunfights.

Groza’s Extended Reach

The Groza assault rifle will see an increase in damage range, extending from 13-22 to 13-26. This change could solidify the Groza’s role as a mid-range powerhouse.

Faster Reloads for ASM10

The ASM10 assault rifle will benefit from reduced reload times, with tactical reload time dropping to 1.13s and empty reload time to 1.5s. This improvement will likely make the ASM10 a more attractive option for players who value a quick return to action.

HBRa3’s Sprint to Fire Speed

The HBRa3 assault rifle will become slightly more agile with a reduced sprint-to-fire speed, now at 160ms from the previous 170ms. This adjustment may appeal to aggressive players who rely on speed and responsiveness.

Equipment and Scorestreak Changes

SAM Turret More Accessible

The SAM Turret scorestreak will now require a lower activation score, decreasing from 660 to 620. This change could lead to more frequent anti-aircraft defenses in matches.

Concussion Grenade’s Expanded Effect

The Concussion Grenade will have an increased area of effect (AOE), expanding from 6m to 8m. This enhancement could make the Concussion Grenade a more effective tool for crowd control.

Flash Drone’s Increased Range

Similarly, the Flash Drone will see an increase in AOE, now at 16m from the previous 15m. This adjustment might make the Flash Drone a more formidable piece of tactical equipment.

Havoc Buff’s Precision

Lastly, the Havoc Buff will receive an increase in its accuracy score. While the specifics of this change are not detailed, it suggests a potential improvement in the weapon’s handling or recoil management.

What Does Eco Mean in Valorant?

Valorant just like every other competitive FPS game has introduced players to a complex and strategic in-game economy system. One of the critical aspects of this system is the concept of “Eco” rounds, which can significantly impact the outcome of a match. In this guide, we’ll find out what Eco rounds are, their importance, and how to navigate them effectively.

What is an Eco Round?

An Eco round in Valorant refers to a situation where a team has insufficient funds to equip themselves fully for the round.

This typically occurs when each player has 2000 credits or less, leading them to either refrain from buying or to purchase only a pistol.

The primary goal during an Eco round is to conserve credits for future rounds, where a full buy-in can be made.

What Does Eco Mean in Valorant?

The Importance of Eco Rounds

Eco rounds are a strategic element that can help prevent a team from playing at a constant disadvantage.

By carefully managing resources during these rounds, teams can avoid depleting their funds and maintain a competitive edge in subsequent rounds.

The idea is not necessarily to win the Eco round but to minimize financial losses and set the team up for a stronger position later on.

Tips for Dominating Eco Rounds

To make the most of an Eco round, players should consider the following strategies:

  • Hold an Off Angle: Position yourself in unexpected spots to catch opponents off guard.
  • Stack a Site: Concentrate your team’s defense on one site to increase the chances of thwarting the enemy’s attack.
  • Choose the Right Weapons: Opt for cost-effective guns like the Frenzy, Sheriff, or Stinger, which can still deal significant damage without breaking the bank.
  • Aim for a Thrifty: If you manage to win an Eco round, known as a “Thrifty,” you’ll gain free weapons and save credits, putting your team in an excellent position to win subsequent rounds.

How to Obtain Gate Keys in Solo Leveling Arise?

In the immersive world of Solo Leveling Arise, players are constantly seeking ways to enhance their gaming experience and progress through the game. One of the critical elements in this journey is the use of gate keys. Gate keys serve as the entry currency to the Gates system, a series of dungeons that offer players the opportunity to engage in battles, defeat enemies, and collect valuable resources.

How to Obtain Gate Keys in Solo Leveling Arise?

Players are entitled to receive free gate keys daily, which are automatically added to their account up to the maximum storage capacity. This ensures that even without spending resources, players can still access the Gates and continue their adventure.

For those who wish to venture into more dungeons, additional gate keys can be obtained by exchanging 150 Essence Stones for three gate keys. This exchange can be done up to 10 times daily, allowing dedicated players to maximize their dungeon explorations.

Another method to acquire gate keys is through the in-game shop. Players can purchase three gate keys daily, providing a straightforward but limited way to increase their dungeon entries.

Solo Leveling Arise

How to Use Gate Keys in Solo Leveling Arise?

Regardless of the type or rank of the gate, entering a dungeon costs one gate key. This uniform cost applies to all five types of gates available in the game: Red, Dungeon Breaks, Normal, Bonus, and Special.

Each gate type offers unique features and rewards. Normal gates are the standard dungeons, while Special and Red gates provide more challenging encounters and higher rewards. Bonus gates are occasional opportunities that players should take advantage of, and Dungeon Breaks present a different set of challenges and benefits.

To make the most out of gate keys, players should prioritize using them daily, as unused keys will be removed at the start of the next replenishment cycle. This encourages active play and ensures that players are consistently leveling up and improving their characters.

For those looking to bypass the dungeon grind, Special Sweep Keys are available. These items allow players to skip dungeons without considering their team’s power, providing a quick way to obtain resources.

How to Report Bot and Boosting Lobbies in CS2?

Boosting in CS2 refers to the practice of more seasoned players using smurf accounts to boost accounts that are ranked lower. This is simple since smurfs will only match low-ranked accounts with other low-ranking players who are simple to beat.

Similar results can be obtained by bots that augment inactive accounts by merely engaging in the game during the user’s absence. The outcome is simply to rank up, collect rewards, and finally sell the account to users who are willing to pay for the higher-ranked accounts.

Official Instruction From Valve: How To Report Bot & Boosting Lobbies in CS2
byu/CS2-Mods incs2

Valve has officially released a set of instructions if you come across boosting lobbies or bot accounts. Following them would let to report such actions directly to Valve without having to go through their layered overwatch process.

Reddit user, DanB_Valve, who happens to be a Valve employee has urged the players who come across boosting lobbies to write an email titled “boosting report” and send it to “[email protected]“.

The email should contain a screenshot of the scoreboard along with the links to the Smurf accounts. This would lead Valve’s team to look into it and take necessary actions if accounts are found guilty.

Will Assassin’s Creed Shadows require an internet connection to play?

Ubisoft’s upcoming title, Assassin’s Creed Shadows has been the topic of discussion for the fans of the franchise. The game’s highlight is the ability to play two distinct characters with unique playstyles. The gaming community well received the official trailer depicting 16th-century Japan and it was successful in intriguing a lot of fans and players alike.

The hype and excitement are through the roof and some players just can’t wait to get their hands on the game. Well, it looks like the game requires an active internet connection to install. This requirement caused many fans to question if the game would require an active internet connection to play.

Following concerns in the gaming community, Ubisoft came with an official statement where they confirmed that an active internet connection is a must to install the game, but you will be able to play the entire game without the need for an active internet connection. This means that Assassin’s Creed Shadows cannot be installed offline unlike other games, where offline verification is possible.

If ‘why?’ is the question racing through your mind, then you should know that most companies are trying to reduce the cost of distributing games. On the internet, most people do not prefer buying physical copies of the game. Almost everyone nowadays prefers an online copy. What would come in the form of a second disc to verify the purchase can now be downloaded from the internet. You consider this as a step from Ubisoft against piracy of the game.

Having said this, if you have an internet connection at home then this requirement won’t be a concern for you. How effective is this step against piracy? That will be a test of time.

How To Enable Secure Boot For VALORANT: A Step-by-Step Guide

How To Enable Secure Boot For VALORANT: A Step-by-Step Guide

VALORANT, the popular tactical shooter from Riot Games, has specific system requirements to ensure a secure and fair gaming environment for all players. One such requirement is the activation of Secure Boot on your PC. This guide will walk you through the process of enabling Secure Boot, so you can jump into the action without any hiccups.

Understanding Secure Boot and TPM 2.0

Before we dive into the steps, it’s important to understand what Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 are. Secure Boot is a security standard that helps ensure that your PC boots using only firmware that is trusted by the manufacturer. TPM 2.0, or Trusted Platform Module, is a hardware-based security feature that supports full disk encryption and helps protect against malware. Together, they create a secure environment that VALORANT’s anti-cheat system, Vanguard, requires to run the game.

Checking Your System’s Compatibility

Before enabling Secure Boot, you should check if your system supports TPM 2.0. This can be done through your PC’s BIOS or UEFI settings or by running a check within your operating system. If you find that TPM is not enabled or available, you may need to update your Windows version or adjust BIOS settings to activate it.

Enabling Secure Boot in BIOS

To enable Secure Boot, you’ll need to access your computer’s BIOS settings. Here’s a step-by-step process:

  1. Shut down your computer to begin the process.
  2. Turn on your PC and immediately press the key required to enter BIOS settings. This key varies depending on your motherboard’s make and model but is often one of the function keys (F1, F2, F10), DEL, or ESC.
  3. In the BIOS settings, navigate to the Advanced settings or a similarly named section.
  4. Locate the Secure Boot option and enable it.
  5. Save your settings before exiting the BIOS.

After completing these steps, Secure Boot will be active on your PC, and you should be able to play VALORANT without encountering the Secure Boot error message.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter issues while trying to enable Secure Boot or TPM, consider the following tips:

  • Update to the latest version of Windows to ensure compatibility with Secure Boot and TPM 2.0.
  • If VALORANT still doesn’t run smoothly, try running the game in compatibility mode or as an administrator.
  • Keep your graphics drivers up to date to avoid any potential conflicts with the game.

Enabling Secure Boot is a crucial step for playing VALORANT on a Windows PC. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can ensure that your system meets the security standards required by the game’s anti-cheat system. Remember to check your TPM status and keep your system updated for the best gaming experience. Happy gaming, and see you in VALORANT!
