Since Alan Wake 2’s launch in late October, developer Remedy Entertainment has released a number of patches for the survival horror title to sand out some of its lingering rough edges. Now, Update 12 has rolled out for the game as well, and it brings a host of additional fixes and improvements.
Alan Wake 2: How To Get The Rifle
29.10.2023 - 10:29 / gameranx.com
One of the most powerful weapons in the game is also very easy to miss. Learn how to get the Rifle in Alan Wake 2 and solve the puzzle of the missing doorknob. To get the Rifle — a powerful 5-shot weapon that’s extremely accurate and effective against even the most powerful Taken creatures — you’ll need to find a missing doorknob. This door is so innocuous, and the area it’s located is so tense, you can very easily walk right by it without noticing. There is also a clue to the Rifle’s location in an e-mail that’s also incredibly easy to miss.
All this adds up to a weapon you can miss but really shouldn’t. The Rifle is a staple of the Alan Wake series — a favorite gun in the original game, even if Alan doesn’t get his hands on it here. Instead, Saga will wield the power of the Rifle. With a few upgrades, this gun can become immensely strong. And even if you do miss it, you can revisit the location it is found in Chapter 5.

During the events of Return 5: Old Gods, Saga will visit the Wellness Center in Bright Falls. Partially through, you’ll need to unlock the doors in the Security Room. Near the Security Room, you’ll also encounter another weapon pickup. You’ll find the Rifle weapon in the Workshop near the Security Room. But the door is locked.
Finding the Rifle can be especially difficult and is easy to miss. If you’re trying to find it on your own, you’ll only find a clue on the Security Computer. On the computer, tab over to the e-mails and read them to learn someone has taken the guard’s workshop doorknob. She gives a cryptic clue. The ‘glass box with flowers’ is right in the Ward Reception area.
The Rifle is a powerful, accurate and slow-to-fire weapon. Ammo is rare but valuable. You’ll find your first ammo in the Dining Hall / Kitchen. Each shot packs a punch, and like other weapons you’ll be able to upgrade it.
I recommend Feedback Loot for quickly firing multiple shots, but even a power like Way Home can be helpful when dealing with annoying enemies that just won’t let you remove their Darkness Shields. Whatever you choose, this weapon quickly replaced the Crossbow as my accurate gun of choice.

Spider-Man 2 Reigns, Forza Motorsport Flops, and Alan Wake 2 Misses the Charts in October
The former NPD Group (now named “Circana”) has released its full North American sales data for October, and it was a bit of an up-and-down kickoff to the holiday season. Players spent $4 billion on games, additional content, and hardware in October, a 5 percent year-on-year decrease. The PlayStation 5 was the #1 console, followed by Switch and Xbox Series X/S, but hardware sales were down 23 percent year on year, with all consoles experiencing a double-digit decline in business.

The Game Awards 2023 Nominees Announced: Baldur’s Gate 3, Alan Wake 2 Lead the Pack
The Game Awards 2023 nominations are now out in the wild. Two of the biggest titles this year, Baldur's Gate 3 and the more recent Alan Wake II lead the pack with a whopping eight nods each, including Game of the Year. Despite being considered one of the best years for gaming, the show host and organiser Geoff Keighley is sticking to his rule of including only six names for the prestigious award. The remaining GOTY contenders include Marvel's Spider-Man 2, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Resident Evil 4 remake, and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The latter two were big hits during the first half of the year, with Zelda players showing off their mechanical creations in the lands of Hyrule, while the RE4 PC players messed around with sultry mods.

Remedy's plant bone tech is just one of the reasons Alan Wake 2 is the best-looking videogame of 2023
If you've been playing Alan Wake 2 you may have noticed just how pretty that game is. I'd go as far to say it's the best looking videogame of 2023. Developer Remedy has done incredibly well to make what could've been a very dull and dark world look vibrant and detailed, and has since divulged what's actually going on behind the scenes in the Northlight engine to achieve it. And boy, it's a lot.

Alan Wake 2 needs the talking flower from Super Mario Bros. Wonder
Alan Wake 2 is bleak stuff. Sure, your flashlight makes the darkness a little less scary, and the full-motion video commercials are a lighthearted wink to players who seek them out. But for some, the game could benefit from a constant positive presence to raise the mood while you traverse the Overlap and beyond.
