Diablo 4 bugs give players unlimited loot

Diablo 4 is a game centered around looting and a Reddit user recently stumbled upon a chest in the game that appears to be glitched, continuously spewing an endless stream of loot that can be collected.

While Diablo 4 has been generous in terms of loot, one player has come across a chest that grants unlimited loot and he took to Reddit to share his discovery.  u/High-With-Me, has shared a clip where a bugged chest gets reset post-interaction and spawns new loot every time.

In the clip, we can see the users repeatedly interacting and getting drops each and every time till the point we see his inventory filled with gears.

Erm…
by u/High-With-You in diablo4

He later confirmed that the unlimited loot wasn’t true in every sense of the word because eventually, the game crashed. Given the fact that the player running the dungeon on World-Tier 3, the gear wasn’t very helpful to being with. Especially with limited space in the inventory which meant not everything can be picked up.

The massive amount of upvotes this has garnered will likely draw the developer’s attention and a fix will be issued in no time, so go ahead and grab those gears before time runs out.

100 Thieves Launches New ‘Bank Heist’ Game Mode for Fortnite

100 Thieves Launches New ‘Bank Heist’ Game Mode for Fortnite

In a thrilling development, esports and content organization 100 Thieves has unveiled its latest project – Bank Heist, a custom game mode for the popular battle royale game, Fortnite. This marks the company’s initial venture into the realm of game development, leveraging the Unreal Editor for Fortnite to bring this unique experience to life.

Bank Heist is not just another game mode; it’s a testament to 100 Thieves’ ambition to create independent games. The mode introduces a competitive, fast-paced dynamic that diverges from the traditional battle royale experience, drawing parallels with the intensity of games like Call of Duty.

The premise of Bank Heist is simple yet engaging. Two teams face off in a battle of strategy and skill – one team attempts to infiltrate a bank, seize the loot, and escape via helicopter, while the other team strives to thwart their efforts and delay their escape as long as possible.

This innovative game mode was shaped with insights from some of 100 Thieves’ top creators, including Matthew “Nadeshot” Haag, Rachell “Valkyrae” Hofstetter, and Jack “CouRage” Dunlop. Their contributions have been instrumental in the development process, with Hofstetter and Dunlop even lending their voices as narrators.

On July 11, Bank Heist will be made freely playable across all Fortnite-compatible platforms. The adventure of 100 Thieves to develop games and experiences is just getting started. The Unreal Editor for Fortnite appears to be the ideal tool for interacting with their fans as they continue to work on developing their standalone game Project X.

John Robinson, President & COO of 100 Thieves, expressed his optimism about this new platform, stating that it offers a complete reset of the existing competitive landscape. The advantages of incumbent publishers are largely neutralized on new platforms, opening up opportunities for innovative players.

100 Thieves also anticipates a financial benefit from this venture, following Epic Games’ announcement of a revenue share with developers of experiences with the Unreal Editor for Fortnite. Given the marketing power of 100 Thieves and its influencers, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Bank Heist topping the charts and generating substantial revenue.

Who is Pulcinella in Genshin Impact? The mysterious Fatui Harbinger

Genshin Impact, a game renowned for its captivating characters and intricate storylines, introduces us to Pulcinella, a character shrouded in mystery and intrigue. As a prominent figure within the enigmatic Fatui organization, Pulcinella’s role and potential future in the game have sparked widespread speculation among players.

The Enigmatic Pulcinella: A Figure of Power and Influence

Pulcinella, also known as “The Rooster,” is a key player in the Fatui organization. As the fifth member of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers, he wields considerable power and influence. Beyond his Harbinger role, Pulcinella is also the Mayor of a thriving city in Snezhnaya, further emphasizing his importance within the Fatui and the world of Teyvat.

Pulcinella’s Distinctive Appearance: A Symbol of His Connection to Snezhnaya

Pulcinella’s unique look, characterized by white hair, a mustache, rounded glasses, a pointy nose, and ears, sets him apart. His dark blue longcoat, adorned with flared and feathered sleeves, along with baggy blue trousers and long flared shoes, add to his distinctive persona. An aura of ice surrounds him, possibly indicating a Cryo Vision or Delusion and symbolizing his connection to Snezhnaya.

Pulcinella and Tartaglia: A Complex Relationship

Pulcinella played a crucial role in recruiting Tartaglia, also known as Ajax, into the Fatui. Recognizing Tartaglia’s immense strength and potential for chaos, Pulcinella saw him as a valuable asset for the Fatui’s cause. Despite his strategic mindset and willingness to sacrifice lesser assets for the greater good, Pulcinella shows genuine care for Tartaglia and his family, though some suggest this may be a means of control.

Pulcinella’s Future in Genshin Impact: A Playable Character or a Domain Boss?

While it remains unconfirmed whether Pulcinella will become a playable character in Genshin Impact, speculation suggests he may become a Domain Boss in future updates, following the precedent set by Tartaglia and Senora.

Valorant China Knife Kitana: Price, Photos, and More

Valorant, the popular esports game, is set to make its grand debut in China, and it’s bringing with it an exclusive treat that has the global community buzzing. This treat is none other than the exquisite melee weapon known as the Kitana or Fire Blade, a region-locked weapon skin that has left players worldwide green with envy.

Valorant China Melee

The Kitana, a weapon skin inspired by traditional oriental fans, is a sight to behold. Its design bears a striking resemblance to the Celestial weapon skin, another fan-based weapon. The first glimpse of the Kitana was unveiled by the renowned leaker, Valorant Updates, who also shared a brief gameplay snippet showcasing the weapon’s in-game appearance.

The Kitana boasts two stunning variants: Red Gold and Violet. The Red Gold variant is a Level 1 upgrade for the base weapon, while the Violet variant is a Level 2 upgrade. Initially, the melee weapon begins as a standard knife devoid of animations or special effects. However, after the first upgrade, it morphs into a weapon resembling an oriental fan, complete with a unique inspect animation and a special effect that engulfs the weapon in flames. The second upgrade further transforms the weapon’s color to violet, accompanied by purple flames.

Valorant China Kitana / Fire Blade Price

This melee weapon skin is region-locked, making it exclusively available to Valorant players in China. As for its price, official information is yet to be released. However, according to Kingdom Laboratories, a Portuguese Twitter page, the Kitana might be priced at a mere 100 Valorant Points (VP). This pricing, if accurate, is a hard pill to swallow for the global community, as even the most affordable Valorant knife has historically been sold for well over 1000 VP.

Stay tuned for more updates on Valorant’s China release and the exclusive Kitana melee weapon skin.

Adin Ross reveals why he didn’t visit Andrew Tate in Romania

Streamer Adin Ross has responded to fans who were criticizing him for not visiting Andrew Tate, asserting that he held back from doing so due to the possibility of being arrested in Romania.

During Andrew Tate’s imprisonment in Romania, Adin Ross promised viewers to visit him in Romania. Tate’s imprisonment in Romania broke headlines as it turned into a serious issue with charges of human trafficking, sexual assault, and exploitation being held against him. Having spent three months in jail, Tate was let go but remained under house arrest.

The fact that Ross hinted at a visit, left his fans curious why he didn’t go through with it and now he has finally revealed what kept him from visiting Tate in Romania.

“I had a motherf**ker in Vegas ask me why didn’t you write to Tate in jail. I swear to god, on my life, I was running through the casino and somebody said why did you not write to Tate in jail? Hey, idiot, are you dumb? Some of you guys aren’t real, there’s no f**king way.”

Later he claimed that “I literally said you’re right, I did not write him. But, I was about to go to Romania but I was told I’d be arrested. Hello? I was gonna visit that motherf**ker.”.

The risk of getting arrested kept him from going to Romania. Although, he later confirmed that he and Tate are on good terms.

How To Change FOV In CSGO?

How To Change FOV In CSGO?

The Field of View (FOV) in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) plays a pivotal role in enhancing your gaming performance. It determines the extent of the observable game world that’s seen on the display at any given moment. The FOV can be adjusted to suit your comfort and gameplay style, and this guide will walk you through the process.

The Importance of FOV in CS:GO

FOV in CS:GO is more than just a setting; it’s a strategic tool that can give you an edge over your opponents. It allows you to perceive more of your in-game surroundings, which can be a game-changer in a fast-paced shooter like CS:GO. However, the optimal FOV varies from player to player and depends on factors like your proximity to the screen and personal preference.

How to Change FOV in CS:GO

Unlike many other games, CS:GO doesn’t offer an extensive FOV slider in its settings. Instead, you’ll need to use console commands to adjust your FOV. Before you can use these commands, you must first enable the in-game console via the Settings Menu under the Game category. Make sure the ‘Enable Developer Console’ option is set to ‘Yes’.

The primary command for changing your FOV in CS:GO is ‘viewmodel_fov [54 to 68]’. This command adjusts the FOV of your viewmodel, altering the distance between your weapon and your viewpoint. The default setting is 60, but for a broader view, you can set it to the maximum of 68.

For private matches, you can change your overall FOV using the ‘fov_cs_debug [x]’ command. However, this command is not allowed in competitive play due to the potential for unfair advantages.

FAQs

Can adjusting my CSGO FOV improve my gameplay?

Absolutely! A comfortable FOV setting can significantly enhance your gaming experience and performance. We recommend experimenting with different FOV settings in non-competitive modes like Deathmatch before settling on a permanent setting.

Why doesn’t CS:GO have an official FOV slider?

CS:GO aims to provide a fair and balanced competitive environment. Allowing extensive FOV adjustments could potentially give some players an unfair advantage. Moreover, higher FOV settings can cause frame rate drops, giving players with more powerful PCs an additional advantage.

Why can I adjust my CS:GO FOV more in private matches?

In private matches, the focus is more on fun than competitive fairness. Therefore, CS:GO allows more extensive FOV adjustments in these settings.

Why do other games allow more FOV adjustments?

The approach to FOV adjustments varies from game to game, depending on the developers’ priorities. Some games prioritize a competitive scene, while others focus on player customization.

In conclusion, adjusting your FOV in CS:GO can significantly impact your gaming experience. It’s all about finding the balance that works best for you. Happy gaming!

CoD Mobile 4v4v4 Arena Mode: How To Play (Tips & Tricks)

The latest season of CoD Mobile, Templar’s Oath, has introduced an exciting new game mode that’s taking the gaming community by storm – the 4v4v4 Arena Mode. This thrilling addition pits three teams, each comprising four players, against each other in a high-stakes, round-based battle within a compact area of the battle royale map.

Templar’s Oath has also unveiled the Grau 5.56 Assault Rifle, the Survival Training Multiplayer Perk, and the Kinetic Station BR Class, adding more depth to the gameplay.

HOW TO PLAY THE 4V4V4 ARENA MODE IN COD MOBILE SEASON 6?

The 4v4v4 Arena Mode unfolds on either the New Vision City or Ecology Lab from the Battle Royale map. Players strive to accumulate tokens by defeating adversaries and accomplishing objectives. These tokens can be exchanged for weapons to bring into the battlefield.

A unique aspect of this mode is the shrinking zone that adds a layer of complexity to the game. The objective is to eliminate the other two teams to claim victory. The first team to win two rounds emerges victorious.

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR COD ARENA MODE 4V4V4

Here are some strategies to help you outsmart your opponents in the 4v4v4 Arena mode of CoD Mobile Season 6:

  1. Objective Completion: Apart from eliminating opponents, completing objectives is an effective way to earn currency for future rounds. Make it a point to take down the drones scattered across the map to secure more weapons and equipment for subsequent rounds.
  2. Teamwork: Teamwork is crucial in all game modes, but it’s particularly important in the 4v4v4 mode. Since it’s a round-based mode, if you’re taken out, you’ll respawn in the next round. Therefore, it’s essential to stick together as a team to prevent surprise attacks.
  3. Target the Winning Team: Remember, you only need to win two rounds to claim victory in this mode. Therefore, focus on taking out the team that won the initial round to prevent an early end to the match.
  4. Map Familiarity: The 4v4v4 Arena Mode takes place on either New Vision City or the Ecology Lab from the battle royale map. Familiarize yourself with these locations by exploring them in a BR game. This will give you an edge over your competitors.
  5. Circle Awareness: Avoid getting caught off-guard by the shrinking circle, which can make you an easy target for enemies. Time your rotations effectively to secure a strategic position on the map.

With these tips and tricks, you’re now equipped to conquer the 4v4v4 Arena Mode in CoD Mobile Season 6. Happy gaming!

FDA Investigating PRIME Energy Drink After US Senator Calls for Probe

FDA Investigating PRIME Energy Drink After US Senator Calls for Probe

The Prime energy drink brand is facing criticism following a letter written by a US Senator to the Food and Drug Administration, requesting an investigation, especially on the caffeine levels of the drink.

The energy drink created by Logan Paul and KSI, called Prime, has achieved significant popularity since its introduction in January 2023. However, it hasn’t been without its fair share of controversies, especially when a student from Wales suffered a cardiac arrest after drinking PRIME.

PRIME was endorsed by KSI and Logan Paul, two of the biggest social media celebrities that helped the drink skyrocket in a span of a few months. The controversies surrounding it have attracted the attention of US Senator Charles Schumer who has called for the FDA to look into the health concerns surrounding PRIME energy drink.

Schumer said, “One of the summer’s hottest status symbols for kids is not an outfit or a toy — it’s a beverage. But buyers and parents beware because it’s a serious health concern for the kids it so feverishly targets.”

According to the senator, PRIME has an abnormally high amount of caffeine which in no shape or form is good for your health and the FDA will be investigating this. Despite PRIME harping on the fact that they are completely sugar-free, the massive 200g caffeine, which is significantly more than the likes of RedBull has put them on FDA’s radar.

Now that the concern has been raised through proper government channels, we are yet to see if FDA looks into it and how their findings will alter the future of the energy drink brand.
