How to Unlock and Complete Sand Fishing in Dota 2: Crownfall Act 2

With the introduction of Crownfall Act 2, Sand Fishing was added to Dota 2. However, the Sand fishing quest is not available at first on the Deserts of Druud map. So let’s take a look and understand how you can unlock the Sand Fishing quest in Dota 2: Crownfall Act 2.

To unlock Sand Fishing quest, you first need to complete the Oasis Fishing Quest at the bottom left of Deserts of Druud map. The Oasis Fishing Quest is similar to the fishing game from Act 1. Your aim here is to achieve a score of 10,000 which will reward you a Strange Spear Token.

Obtaining the Strange Spear Token will open up a path south of the Oasis Fishing Quest. You can now unlock the path to Sand Fishing Quest using the Strange Spear Token.

Sand Fishing is very similar to the Oasis Fishing Quest. The only difference here is that you are using a spear to catch the fishes in sand. First you need to throw the spear accurately in the path of the fishes that are moving very fast. Throwing the spear directly on top of the fish won’t help you, so it is advised to aim a little ahead in the path of the fish.

Once you have speared a fish successfully, you now have to keep the fish icon in the green section. Sounds easy, right? But it’s not, the fish icon quickly moves up and down in the bar and you have to move the green section up and down to match the fish icon. The fish icon can change direction rapidly but the green section you are controlling does not have the same agility.

Sand Fishing Rewards

A challenging quest usually have something special rewarding on completion. But not Sand Fishing. The rewards here are considered to be very mediocre for the efforts you put into completing the Sand Fishing Quest. Here is a list rewards for completing Sand Fishing Quest:

  • 4000 Score: 1x Random Token
  • 7000 Score: 2x Random Token
  • 10000 Score: 3x Random Token

Clearly, this quest is not for the faint of heart. However, for some players there is nothing more satisfying than 100% completion. If that’s who you are then you should absolutely go for this quest.

Yunli’s lineage is intertwined with the history of the Xianzhou Zhuming, a faction steeped in tradition and martial prowess. As the granddaughter of “the Flaming Heart” General Huaiyan, she inherits not only his formidable skills but also his sense of duty and righteousness. Her journey as a sword hunter is driven by a profound sense of justice, as she vows to purge her world of the cursed swords that sow chaos and destruction.

With her arrival coinciding with the onset of a Destruction meta in Honkai Star Rail, players can expect new strategies and challenges as they navigate the ever-evolving landscape of the game.

Moreover, Brenna Larsen has been casted as Yunli’s English voice actor, whereas Shion Wakayama is casted as the Japanese voice actor.

When Will Yunli Launch in Honkai Star Rail?

Microsoft Xbox’s Brand New Console Is Closer to Launching: Here’s What We Know

With the upcoming Xbox games showcase coming up in the next week, planned for title launches like Contraband and Black Ops 6, rumors are flying around in the community that a shadow drop of a new first-party game, along with a brand new handheld console might be in the cards.

Xbox boss Phil Spencer had even spoken about this and with the looks of it, Microsoft doesn’t seem to be secretive about it, since he mentioned his love for PC-based systems like the Steam Deck. 

So, it’s another Microsoft Xbox Series console?

Well, not quite. Spencer has been openly praising the Steam Deck since 2021 & with Microsoft officially confirming their roadmap for next-gen hardware, rumours have been flying around that an alpha test for a portable handheld console is already underway. 

When can I buy the new Xbox handheld console?

Easy there tiger. There is still time since we don’t believe we will get the Xbox handheld console before GTA 6. We aren’t joking when we say this as the same rumors suggest that the device could hit the market as early as 2026, which brings us to the question: “When will Microsoft give us a first look?” 

We’ve made an educated guess that it could happen in the coming weekend on Sunday, where a teaser could be unveiled for the device’s launch during the Xbox Games Showcase – although it’s just a speculation.

Who leaked the new Xbox handheld console?

Well, Microsoft wants to know your location if you know it. But on a serious note, eXtas1s a renowned internet personality – notorious for his leaked footage of Hideo Kojma’s OD game was the one to first talk about this. He even predicted the release date of Hellblade 2 – so he very clearly does have some insider information. 

He claimed to know which title is the one about to be announced, although not reveal the name to presumably protect his contact. The most likely title to be announced is the indie game: Towerborne, from the makers of The Banner Saga

On that note

We’ll find out for sure whether these rumors stand the test of time on Sunday when the event starts at 10:30 pm IST. Well, a lot of internet mobs still believe that the showcase would be a white, digital-only version of the Xbox Series X – much like its Sony counterpart: The PS5 Digital Edition, however, we think there is no reason to not announce another handheld console at all, so fingers crossed!

Valorant Keeps Crashing? Here’s How To Fix!

Constant crashes are among the most frustrating issues you can face when trying to play Valorant. Whether your Valorant is crashing on startup or you’re getting kicked mid-game, crashes can be extremely frustrating to deal with if you’re unsure about what’s causing it.

There are a number of steps you can take to deal with crashes in Valorant. In most cases, crashes are caused by corrupted game files, outdated graphics drivers, or certain problems with hardware. Luckily, the majority of the issues causing crashes in Valorant are often quite easy to fix.

Are you encountering the Valorant crashing issue when trying to play the shooter? We have you covered. Here’s everything you need to know about what causes Valorant crashes and how to fix them.

How To Fix Valorant Keeps Crashing Error

Valorant Keeps Crashing

Below, we have listed some of the easiest solutions to the Valorant crashing problem:

  • Verify File Integrity: The first thing you should do if your Valorant keeps crashing is to verify the game files. You can verify the file integrity for Valorant by launching Riot Client, going to the ‘Settings’ menu from the top-right corner, and hitting ‘Repair’ on the window that pops up.
  • System Requirements: In order for Valorant to run smoothly, you have to ensure that your PC meets the minimum system requirements for the game. The Valorant crashing issue is extremely common among PCs with outdated hardware. If that’s the case, your best bet would be to upgrade to a new PC.
  • Update Graphics Drivers: Another major reason behind Valorant crashes is outdated graphics drivers. Whether you have an NVIDIA or an AMD GPU, keeping your graphics driver updated is crucial if you want to get the best performance in multiplayer games. If your Valorant keeps crashing even after several restarts, there’s a good chance that your graphics drivers are outdated.
  • In-game Settings: If you have an older PC, lowering your in-game settings can give you an instant boost in your FPS and improve your game’s performance. If your Valorant crashes are caused by an overheating GPU or other hardware limitations, you can try lowering your video settings to fix it.
  • Reinstall Valorant: If none of the other methods seem to work for you, you can try uninstalling Valorant and reinstalling a fresh copy of the game to see if it solves the problem. 

Once you’ve followed the aforementioned steps correctly, your Valorant crashing issue should be fixed. If the problem persists, you can try contacting Riot support and wait for an official response.

When Is Haven Coming Back To Valorant?

0

Valorant’s new patch 8.11 is expected to be released in the upcoming days. With VCT Masters Shanghai ending around the corner, many players were left questioning – When is Haven coming back to Valorant? Fortunately, we have the answer to it.

Riot Games had earlier announced that they would be unlocking all maps in all game modes except the competitive mode in the next update. They also added that they will be rotating maps in the Competitive mode map pool. Currently, Ascent, Bind, Breeze, Icebox, Lotus, Split, and Sunset are the maps in the Competitive map pool.

Valorant Haven

This is set to change in the new patch with Breeze and Split will be leaving the map pool and Haven will come back in. This means that we will be able to play on Haven in all game modes in Valorant.

As of now, Riot Games has not announced when the new patch will be released, but we already know that Riot Games had announced the reveal of their new map would be happening at VCT Masters Shanghai. This new map will likely be part of the new patch. Some sources suggest that the new map will be revealed on the final day of VCT Masters Shanghai. So it is very likely that the new patch will be released days after VCT Masters Shanghai. You can expect this to happen somewhere between June 10-20.

Counter Strike 2 C4 Bug: C4 can be thrown in inaccessible locations

A Reddit user recently shared a video showing how one can throw the C4 in places where you cannot access it again. This type of bug is not new to the franchise as we have already seen such bugs before.

As mentioned earlier, we have already seen such bugs in earlier games in the Counter Strike Franchise. Most notably, such bugs were widespread in Counter Strike Global Offensive. While this bug does not help you win the game, it surely ruins every player’s experience. The bug allows some players aka griefers to throw the C4 in these inaccessible locations, which means the only way your team can win is by eliminating all CTs before the time runs out. The video shared by PixelisMania on Reddit depicted the user throwing the C4 in inaccessible locations of the map. The video shows these bugged locations on three maps:

  • Inferno
  • Nuke
  • Mirage

While PixelisMania has only shown three maps with bugged locations, this raises the possibility of locations on other maps being bugged similarly. This has started the race for developers to search such locations and fix them as quickly as possible to maintain the player experience and engagement.

Developers of Counter Strike 2, Valve are yet to respond or make any official statement. However, players will be desperate for a fix as soon as possible. Such bugs do not help the situation when the developers are already in a constant battle to keep the game cheaters and hackers free.
