The Gauntlet has officially wrapped its third week! A widely requested Diablo 4 feature, these leaderboards have been requested since launch, and The Gauntlet has now settled into its weekly schedule. We're taking a look at the final rankings in Week 3 of the Gauntlet and Leaderboards — and what it shows for each class. Diablo 4 Gauntlet Build Tier List Diablo 4 Gauntlet and Leaderboards GuideEditor's Note: Due to the nature of leaderboards only recording the Top 10 in the Hall of the Ancients, some of this data was taken from a snapshot of leaderboard scores at approximately 10pm EST on Monday, March 25. The data has changed since then, however we're using this snapshot as a way to discuss and analyze overall averages for the week in as transparent a way as possible. Additionally, due to the fact that many players have elected to make their profiles private on the leaderboards, we're currently exploring the best way to present this data as accurately and faithfully as possible. We may incorporate feedback and suggestions, so let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

The Call of Duty franchise has had some brilliant maps since its inception over two decades ago. From the classic Carentan in Nazi-occupied France to the modern warfare of Shipment, it sure is a shooter with variety.

There's a lot to do in Dragon's Dogma 2. As you'd expect from an open-world RPG, there are plenty of side quests and other activities to get stuck into. And if you want that platinum trophy, you'll need to veer away from the main story on more than one occasion.

Mid-March, Blizzard revealed 12 new Hero Talent Trees in a sneak peek at the new system coming with the The War Within expansion. Our Restoration Shaman guide writer, Theun, offers an early review of the Farseer Shaman Hero Talents that call upon the ancestors to aid you and your allies, but what does an ancestor exactly do and why aren't there more ties to existing ancestral spells?

Today, March 25, marks the tenth anniversary of Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls's launch, the game's first and only expansion. Join us for a quick journey back to one of the most pivotal points in the Diablo franchise! Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls Blizzcon Summary Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls GuideDiablo 3: Reaper of Souls Release Cinematic Because of Diablo 4's current state, Reaper of Souls has been a hot topic in the community over the last few months. Back in 2013, Diablo 3 was in a similar spot in terms of community sentiment: The base game was very hard but didn't feature any real endgame content, the itemization didn't reach as deep as fans of the Diablo franchise were used to, and the Real Money Auction House was… well, the Real Money Auction House. That is why Blizzard tried everything in their power to turn around their ARPG ship with Diablo 3's first expansion — and they did it. Here are some of the key expansion features from back in the day:

Dragon's Dogma 2 is a huge game with dozens of different trinkets and resources to collect, with one of the most sought-after being the Jasper jewel.

Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile has brought the blockbuster first-person battle royale shooter to iOS and Android – is the game available on PC, though?

Dragon’s Dogma 2 fights you at every turn. That’s not just about the combat (which is tense) or the pawns (whom are dense). Even the save system seems like it’s pitted against you.

Dragon's Dogma 2 players are getting absolutely roasted by their Pawns but are still discovering fascinating details relating to their companions.

Solo Leveling‘s rise to fame should be studied in close detail. Not only did it become the world’s biggest action manhwa, the most anticipated anime in recent years, but it is also on its way to getting the world of video games by storm with Solo Leveling: ARISE. An icon, if you ask me.

Marvel star Anthony Mackie has shared his disappointment that The Falcon and the Winter Soldier did not return for season 2. 

Players everywhere are now journeying through the lands of Vermund and Battahl discovering just how many quests feature in Dragon's Dogma 2.

Not all gaming laptop deals are worth your time and money, and even less will be powerful enough to meet gamers’ needs for the next few years. If you’re willing to make a serious investment, you should check out Dell’s offer for the Alienware x14 R2 gaming laptop. From its original price of $2,000, a $500 discount brings it down to $1,500. It’s still not cheap, but it’s actually a reasonable price for a machine of this caliber. You need to hurry with your purchase if you want the savings though, as its price may be back to normal as soon as tomorrow.

With the launch of Patch 10.2.6's Plunderstorm, Blizzard has released a full press kit of images exploring the event including: Key Art, Plunderstorm Logos, and event screenshots. Explore the unique battle royale event with these spectacular images. Patch 10.2.6: Plunderstorm Guide

A frequently requested change to Diablo 4’s Enchanting system will be coming in Season 4 – the cost to reroll Gear Affixes at the Occultist will now cap at a certain cost. Blizzard revealed during the latest Campfire Chat that Enchanting costs would be one of the systems receiving an overhaul, no longer scaling to an absurd degree on repeated rerolled pieces of gear. For more information on the March 20th Campfire Chat, check out Wowhead’s Developer Livestream Liveblog. Currently, players looking to reroll an affix on their gear have to pay a continuously scaling gold cost on each reroll.

The fastest way to get Renown in Plunderstorm is to kill other players, and win. But what if you're like me: A big scaredy cat who's terrible at PVP? I maxed out my Keg Leg's Crew Renown days after Plunderstorm was released without winning once. More importantly, I enjoyed myself while I did it. So here are some of the best strategies to earn Renown even if you can't survive most fights to save, well, your life. On average, I make 400-800 Renown a match. Sometimes if I'm lucky, I make over 1000. On more than one occasion, I've even reached level 9 and made over 1000 Renown — once even making it all the way to second place — without defeating another player in the entire match. Obviously this is nowhere close to the 3000+ Renown you can make from winning a match, but if you don't enjoy, or aren't good at, PVP, that doesn't mean you have to slowly chip away at 40 levels a tiny bit at a time.

The world of Dragon's Dogma 2 is sprawling and dense, with hundreds of materials, chests, secrets, and much, much more to find as you explore. The map isn't uncovered until you manually trek through wherever it is you want to go, too. Luckily, we have an interactive map for Dragon's Dogma 2 to show you locations for spots to rest, Seeker's Tokens, Ferrystones, Portcrystals, and more.

How do you unlock all vocations in Dragon's Dogma 2? Vocations are basically character classes, and they determine how your Arisen, and your pawns, function in combat. Each vocation has its own weapon and armour requirements, while boasting unique attacks, skills, and perks that define your style of play.

Alan Wake 2 was easily one of the best games last year, and that's saying something when you stand back and look at how amazing 2023 was. A lot of that was down to how Alan Wake 2 experimented with bold and interesting features, and the Dark Place was a hub for Remedy to go wild with unique ideas such as light shifting and reality swapping. However, these features may not have been added had Remedy not first created a confusing and complex Dark Place prototype in the first place.

There’s a lot of complicated science going on in Netflix’s new series 3 Body Problem. Aside from the math puzzle that the series is named after, there are things like solar radio amplification, near light-speed travel, nano fibers, particle accelerators, and theoretical physics, just to name a few. But among the most complicated and confusing of all these elements are the Sophons, the little San-Ti assistants that prove to be massive nuisances to humanity throughout the first season.

Blizzard has posted Blues News for this week which includes many Plunderstorm updates!

It’s hard to know if a game has multiple endings, especially one as unique as Dragon’s Dogma 2. You can finish the game and not have any clue as to whether or not you’re missing anything. And in this case, there’s quite a bit more hidden if you’re able to unravel a few cryptic hints. If that’s too much work for you, we can guide you like a faithful pawn to the solution.

If you want a gaming laptop with powerful performance and a large screen, then you should think about getting the HP Omen 17t, especially now that it’s on sale from HP with a $500 discount that pulls its price down from $1,700 to $1,200. It’s still not cheap, but it’s a worthwhile investment if you’re serious about PC gaming. We’re not sure how much time is remaining before the offer expires though, so if you want to make sure that you get this gaming laptop for cheaper than usual, it’s highly recommended that you complete your purchase for it right now.

Dragon's Dogma 2, much like its predecessor, is a game that focuses on exploration. That old cliché, about the journey trumping the destination, is pretty apt here.

Over a decade after the original, Dragon's Dogma 2 releases today. It's time to guide your carefully created Arisen to their destiny. This isn't going to be a short run, though. There are longer games out there, but collecting all the trophies in Dragon's Dogma 2 can't be done in a weekend.

While it isn’t exactly a Cloud 9, there is a Helldivers 2 Superstore. This is an in-game shop where you can purchase some of the best armour in the game for Super Credits.

Open world historical epic Rise of the Ronin releases today, and we can't wait to explore 19th century Japan as a ronin – a samurai with no master. And it's from Team Ninja (Dead or Alive, Ninja Gaiden, and Nioh) so our hopes are high.

Rise of the Ronin is the latest joint from Team Ninja, and like most of their games, challenging combat built around a number of unique systems is core to the game. Being successful in combat in Rise of the Ronin requires mastery of parries, stances, Ki, and more, which can be a bit mind boggling at first. But don’t worry too much as we have some tips that will have you slicing off heads in no time…

For a gaming PC that will last the test of time with the proper component upgrades, you should think about buying the Lenovo Legion Tower 7i Gen 8, especially now that it’s available from Lenovo with a 20% discount. From the gaming desktop’s original price of $2,900, it’s down to $2,300 for savings of $600 that you can spend on monitor deals, other accessories, or video games. The offer may expire at any moment though, so if you want to take advantage of one of the most attractive gaming PC deals today, you need to proceed with the purchase right away.
