With the recent announcement of Andy Ho as their new Executive Producer, Riot Games gave us a glimpse of what to expect in the Valorant patch 8.11 anticipated to be released in early June. This update will change the map pool for competitive game mode and unlock all maps for other game modes. Keep reading to know the exact details.

All maps unlocked

Yes, folks, you read it right. All maps made for Valorant to date will be unlocked. While the competitive part of the game will still have a map pool, you will see all the maps available to be played in the following game modes:

  • Escalation
  • Swiftplay
  • Spike Rush
  • Unrated

Map rotation for Competitive

After a lot of complaints from the gaming community, Haven will be returning to the map pool. The maps leaving the competitive map pool are Breeze and Split.

Here is a list of maps that will be showing up in the map pool after patch 8.11:

  • Ascent
  • Bind
  • Haven
  • Icebox
  • Lotus
  • Sunset

While Riot Games has not announced the official date for the patch to be released, they have hinted at a release in early June. With features like the Replay system also being in development for Valorant, it would be exciting to see what Riot Games is planning for the future of the game.

How to Increase Stamina in Wuthering Waves?

Stamina is a huge limiting factor in Wuthering Waves. The game developed by Kuro Games, starts you out with 140 stamina points. While this limiting factor can hinder your progress in exploring the map, there is a way to increase your stamina points.

Why do you need to increase stamina in Wuthering Waves

While exploring the map, you will find yourself in situations where you might need to swim, climb walls, or fly great distances with the help of your glider. All these activities consume a considerable amount of stamina, making it necessary to improve your stamina numbers.

How to increase your stamina in Wuthering Waves

Fortunately, there is a way we can increase yourr stamina in Wuthering Waves. The game provides you with an item called as ‘Force Release Component.’ You will be rewarded with a ‘Force Release Component’ when you upgrade your ‘Data Bank’ levels. Each ‘Force Release Component’ when consumed, adds 10 points to your stamina. It is important to note that you will only receive the ‘Force Release Component’ for the first 10 levels of Data Bank. This means that your original tally of 140 stamina points can only be boosted to a max of 240 points.

As mentioned earlier, using the glider will consume your stamina. Now think about it, by upgrading your stamina points, you have almost doubled the distance you can fly with your glider. With that being said, go level up your ‘Data Bank’ so you can explore and conquer the world of Wuthering Waves without worrying about your stamina.

Riot Set to Remove Map Pool Restrictions in Valorant

Riot announced on May 22 that every map would now be accessible in modes other than competitive. This implies that gamers will also be able to access Pearl and Fracture, two maps they haven’t seen in a long time outside the competitive game mode.

Riot Games has just announced that starting with patch 8.11 all Valorant maps will be playable in Unrated, Escalation, Swiftplay, and Spike Rush. This announcement follows a previous one claiming that the competitive map pool will undergo rotation where the new upcoming map will take a spot.

“We have decided to remove map pool restrictions from Swiftplay, Spike Rush, Escalation, and Unrated queues. Starting 8.11, these modes will have all Valorant maps,” said Valorant Product Manager Tiffy Tsay. “We’re listening and testing these changes based on your feedback and so we still want to make sure you have the tools to practice.

The lack of options in other game modes often made the game boring or so claimed the community. Having all the maps in other modes lets players practice in any way they feel comfortable in.

One of the most requested features the map veto system is still far from reality but suffice it to say that it will significantly improve the competitive experience in the game as certain maps are generally avoided by casual players. Although the devs have committed to making improvements according to the request of the community members, we cannot say for sure whether this will come to fruition.

Fortnite Character Skins 2024: Explore Over 1900 Unique Skins from Epic Games Collaborations

0

Fortnite, developed by ‘Epic Games’ is a game based on the battle royale concept. Ever since its release in July 2017, the game quickly built up a massive player base. Fast forward to the present, the game is known to collaborate with huge brands like Lego, NFL, Marvel, DC, and much more. They haven’t been shy when bringing some athletes(Neymar Jr., Lebron James, etc) and artists (Eminem, Lady Gaga, The Weeknd, etc) to the game.

Considering the number of collaborations Fortnite has been a part of, their closet has multiple character skins you can choose from. You can be ‘Peter’ from ‘Family Guy’ or ‘Rick Sanchez’ from ‘Rick and Morty’ and the list goes on and on. Have you ever wondered how many character skins does Fortnite have in 2024? If yes, then you have reached the right place.

It would be difficult to list every skin in Fortnite and trust me, you won’t be reading through the whole list even if I mention every skin. To date, Fortnite has introduced a little over 1900 skins to the game and this number seems to be increasing very rapidly in the past couple of days.

You can expect these types of skins in Fortnite:

  • Original Character Skins
    • These are the skins that were designed and developed by Epic Games. These skins are not imported from anywhere and have never been a part of any collaboration. You can also call these default skins. Example – Renegade Raider, Scout, etc.
  • Licensed Character Skins
    • These skins are mostly characters from other games, movies, cartoons, anime, etc. Example – Loki, Satoru Gojo, Terminator, Optimus Prime, Darth Vader, etc.
  • Real Character Skins
    • These skins are made after real people. These people can be athletes, actors, singers, social media influencers, etc. Example – Khaby Lame, Billie Eilish, Neymar Jr., J Balvinder, etc.
  • Lego Skins
    • These skins are predominantly used in the Lego Fortnite part of the game. These skins are just Lego versions of the skins used in Regular Fortnite. Here are some examples that were recently added – Loki, Billie Eilish, Darth Vader, Chewbacca, etc

It is important to note that only a select number of skins are available to purchase every day as the items in the store are updated daily. Some of these skins have additional items called cosmetics that can purchased separately. Some of these skins only show up in the store once a year making them a collector’s item.

Having said this, Epic Games is making sure to keep everyone engaged and interested in the game by introducing new skins almost every week. If you are not in the mood to spend your hard-earned money in-game then hurry up and go complete the Battle Pass progress as that is where you can get your free skins.
