In Valheim, survival is all about good materials and tools. While the basic tools, like Valheim’s basic pickaxe, axe, or wooden sword, will get players going, they will need metal tools in order to succeed. Copper tools are a step up from the wooden and stone tools that players will be able to make in the beginning. Similar to finding and smelting iron bars in Valheim, players can also use copper ore to make pure copper bars, which can then be used to make weapons and tools....

A chemist hailing from the United States, Viper’s abilities are very different from the other agents in VALORANT. Her chemical poisons have a meter that drains as she uses some of her abilities. Once they are depleted, the ability expires. Luckily it regenerates pretty quickly and she can use her abilities again in no time. Viper’s abilities include Snakebite, Poison Cloud, Toxic Screen, and Viper’s Pit. Snakebite Snakebite is a canister that explodes into a pool of acid once it hits the ground....

It’s been nearly a year since the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset made waves at E3 2012, later racking up nearly $2.5 million in Kickstarter funding. Since then, the upcoming consumer-level head-mounted display has received an abundance of support from the likes of id Software, Eve Online, and Minecraft creator Mojang.

After years of progress, the French conglomerate Vivendi has reportedly retired its efforts to commit a ‘hostile takeover’ of Ubisoft. Ubisoft can now breathe a sigh of relief knowing that its defenses against the major shareholder have succeeded and are no longer needed. Three years ago Ubisoft stated that one of its shareholders, Vivendi, was attempting a ‘hostile takeover’. By purchasing a large portion of Ubisoft’s stocks, Vivendi sought to become a majority shareholder....

Resident Evil 5, which debuted in early 2009, was a fantastic game. It added co-op to the survival-horror series and packaged that alongside beautiful graphics. In fact, it’s the best selling game in the franchise and while we here at Game Rant loved it, we do understand that for long-time fans of the franchise, it’s change in direction may not be entirely desirable since it offers a different type of experience....

This article contains spoilers for WandaVision and the broader MCU. During a recent interview, WandaVision star Elizabeth Olsen teased that we’re about to see a Mandalorian-level cameo happen in the Marvel series. Without fully spoiling the cameo she was referencing, it was a fan favorite from the Star Wars franchise who emerged in Mando’s Season 2 finale. WandaVision featuring some notable guest stars hasn’t been a massive secret up until now, and a report that arrived way, way ahead of the premiere suggested that Evan Peters was about to enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe, though it wasn’t known if the actor would play the X-Men version of Pietro Maximoff/Quicksilver or not in the Disney+ show....

Tenet has had an exciting past 24 hours, as the Christopher Nolan mind-bending action film just dropped its second trailer. That the trailer debuted in the battle royale game Fortnite has only amplified its reach, but since then, the focus has been entirely on when Tenet will reach theaters. And while Warner Bros. has now confirmed a date, speculation likely won’t slow. The issue is that theaters across the United States are closed....

It’s been a long time since any word of the rumored Mad Max video game surfaced, but like the iconic post-apocalyptic hero whose name it bears, it refuses to die. After Avalanche Studios - the makers of the Just Cause franchise - was largely reported to be at work on a tie-in game for George Miller’s big screen reboot Mad Max: Fury Road, updates or even an official confirmation were nowhere to be found....

Call of Duty: Warzone is a game that allows players to use many different strategies to defeat enemies. Some of these strategies are more conventional; however, there are some that are often not thought up by even the most experienced players. Strategies such as sniping from the top of the Stadium to obtaining a helicopter immediately after landing will allow the player to defeat enemies in unique ways and use tactics that the enemy may not have thought of....

Anyone who has been burned by someone camping out waiting for kills at a buy station in Warzone, this one’s for you. Call of Duty: Warzone might only have the one map, but it is a very big map. Despite each match starting with 150 players, or close to it, it’s quite easy to not see a rival player at all, at least not to begin with. That depends on the type of player you are, of course....

As players make their way through the post-apocalyptic world of Wasteland 3, they will be able to use skill points to specialize their party members in a variety of ways. Indeed, allocating these skill points thoughtfully is key in this new RPG, and improperly specialized characters can cause some real problems down the line. This something that many Wasteland 3 players will assuredly experience firsthand, and some of these fans may wonder if it is possible to correct course by way of character respecs....

A couple of days ago, Ubisoft released Watch Dogs Legion, the latest installment in the Watch Dogs franchise serving as the third main game. Similar to its predecessors, Watch Dogs Legion features an open-world environment set in a dystopian post-Brexit London and a nearly endless amount of things for players to do. But there is still an endpoint for the core story. On average, Watch Dogs Legion will likely take between 20-30 hours to beat, depending on whether players have enabled the permadeath mode....

This week has been marked by a couple of high profile rumors – Xbox Lite and Orbis – that may ultimately prove to be completely unfounded. Unsatisfying to contemplate, but true. At the other end of the spectrum, a bit of news popped-up today that is one-hundred percent accurate and easily verifiable. The only problem is that we have no idea what it means. As first reported by Fusible, Microsoft has registered two new web domains, each sporting the tantalizing name “XboxFL....

The Order: 1886 has been a curious case. It initially failed to garner any critical or commercial success, but regular sales on PSN have established a half-decent fanbase for the title. While it still hasn’t been enough to completely flip public perception, there’s at least a base that may be willing to play a sequel, which was set up by The Order’s cliffhanger ending. Now, Ru Weerasuriya, the game’s creative director, has commented on the future of the franchise....

Last November, Sony released the PS5, which has been one of the hottest gaming products in the market today. Of course, much of the PS5’s success stemmed from the PlayStation’s long history that brought players the latest games and sought-after exclusives titles. Now, in an unrelated event, McDonald’s started to include a special edition pack of Pokemon TCG cards with every Happy Meal in celebration of Pokemon’s 25th anniversary. Although it is unusual for players to link the PS5 and the Pokemon cards released by McDonald’s together, it appears that both products are now linked by a common denominator: scalpers....
