Helldivers 2 updates could bring back the first game's sneaky teleporting Illuminate faction

Capcom has heavily discounted Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen across all of the platforms it’s available on ahead of the launch of Dragon’s Dogma 2.

Developers Arrowhead said that Helldivers 2's mechs were "ready for deployment" a couple of days ago, but what they didn't tell us was how to unlock them.

For example, while the SG-8 Punisher wasn’t necessarily any player’s top weapon pick when the game first launched, the small submachine gun has seen a groundswell of support in more recent rounds.

Hades 2's producer, Greg Kasavin, has revealed that it's intended to be a "standalone" experience from the first game that can be played by newcomers.

For many, the promise of a game lasting upwards of 100 hours is no longer the selling point that it used to be. People who grew up with games may now find themselves with families or other responsibilities — and so, at least from what we see in comments sections and the like, there's a clear demand for shorter titles that offer more focused experiences.

One of Remedy's best games is coming to Xbox Game Pass this month. Microsoft's subscription cycles through new titles each month, adding new titles while removing others. Recently, major titles such as the and remakes, and have been added to the subscription.

The toughest enemies in often take the game's best weapons to defeat, but one clever trick can accomplish the same job for less investment. One of the best things about s gameplay is the numerous ways to handle missions. Stealth can shorten missions while limiting the number of enemies fought, or Helldivers can opt to go in loud and destroy all enemies of Super Earth. In the latter course, many different weapons and strategies can accomplish this.

One of the many weapons you can call in during a mission of is the Anti-Material Rifle, which you can get by unlocking it as a Stratagem. This powerful sniper rifle is capable of tearing through the enemy armor of both Automatons and Terminids alike. Similar to other equipment, your character has to be at a certain level and spend some money to obtain this secondary weapon.
