ARC Raiders players have a new enemy to deal with, and you'll need to do so to get Vaporizer Regulators for your inventory. Of course, you'll get them by damaging and destroying Vaporizers. However, this is an incredibly strong ARC to deal with, so let's look at what the best strategy is. Table of contents How to get Vaporizer Regulators in ARC Raiders How to destroy a Vaporizer in ARC Raiders How to use Vaporizer Regulators in ARC Raiders How to get Vaporizer Regulators in ARC Raiders The best way to get the Regulators is by destroying Vaporizers. The Regulators appear to be guaranteed drops from Vaporizer salvage unless someone else has already looted it. You can only find a Vaporizer during the Close Scrutiny map condition (as of writing). Image via Embark If you're still having trouble, you can always try to find an Assessor for guaranteed spawns. How to destroy a Vaporizer in ARC Raiders So you have found a Vaporizer, which is great. If you try t...

Ever since June 2025, and especially after last September, RAM prices have soared and reached levels no one could have anticipated. Following the GPU crisis of 2020, as well as subsequent supply line issues caused by COVID, we thought we were in the clear, but then a new technology decided it wanted all the resources for itself. But now, the tide might be turning as AI-obsessed memory producers have been experiencing stock dumps that have already started to affect RAM prices positively. Following OpenAI's woes with securing funding for some of its projects after Disney backed out of funding Sora, which was then shuttered ( thanks Yahoo Finance ), concern grew over whether the company would even need, or have the means to, secure as much memory stock as it previously ate up. Sam Altman's venture has been the driving force behind AI development and was the biggest customer for undiced wafers, but is now losing ground to competitors like Anthropic, potentially impacting its ne...

The monsters of Lethal Company are certainly getting stranger, and the latest addition, the Backwater Gunkfish, proves just that. This aquatic little guy has found himself on dry land and wants nothing to do with humans. Here is how to deal with the Backwater Gunkfish in Lethal Company v80 . Table of contents Where to find the Backwater Gunkfish in Lethal Company Backwater Gunkfish behavior Solutions when dealing with Backwater Gunkfish in Lethal Company Where to find the Backwater Gunkfish in Lethal Company Screenshot by Destructoid The Backwater Gunkfish commonly appears on forest moons (Adamance, March, and Vow). It lives exclusively inside the facilities and is not limited to one interior, but I have found it most commonly in the Factory and Mineshaft. I have run across a Backwater Gunkfish as often as the Hoarding Bugs. The Gunkfish has a Sting Ray-like appearance with a green and yellow color against its scales and gills. Out of all the v80 monsters, the Gunkfis...

No matter what you think of the coverage, you have to tip your cap to journalists working at the largest publications in the world. At the very least, their secondary skills have to be top-notch. From quick research to fast typing, to the patience of a saint needed to conduct a phone interview, or just masters of multitasking—there's no way they are just like the rest of us, right? Then I read an article about the typing skills of the average New York Times journo earlier this week, and my world was rocked. They are slower than you'd think "The average speed among the participating Times journalists was about 80 words per minute — double the average typing speed in the United States, according to the American Society of Administrative Professionals," reads the key insight of the article. Okay, very funny, give me the actual number. Wait, what, really? I'm not even sure where to start. 40 WPM being the average in the US was already a shocking insight to me...

Though Xbox was no stranger to breaking Game Pass into as many tiers as possible prior to Asha Sharma's ascension as chief executive, it would appear that the company under her direction wants to introduce yet another tier, one that only contains older first-party Microsoft titles. As per Eurogamer ( via Windows Central ), datamining has shown that Xbox could be preparing to release an additional Game Pass tier, one that is far removed from all the others currently on offer. It would only give you access to first-party Microsoft games, not including day-one releases, but older ones whose prime selling points have passed. According to dataminer redphx , who discovered this new Game Pass tier codenamed "TRION," it would include games such as Doom: Eternal , Dishonored 2 , Hellblade (the first one), State of Decay 2 , among others, but would also let you play live-service titles like Elder Scrolls Online as part of the package. https://twitter.com/redphx/status/2037...

AI is slowly crawling over the gaming industry, aiming first at those areas of game development that are "easiest" to replace, or rather, those where AI can produce results that would be "good enough" to a corporate suit and much cheaper than hiring an actual human to perform heavily contextualized work. And while I expected this to happen sooner rather than later, I never thought I'd see studios that have built up a lot of goodwill and reputation in the industry be the first ones to jump on this horrible wagon. In a Reddit post verified by moderators, a former employee of Warhorse Studios, the developers of the Kingdom Come: Deliverance games, alleged they were made "obsolete" in their role as a translator as the company aims to replace all localization work with artificial intelligence. "Yesterday, March 27th, 2026, with no forewarning, I was invited to a meeting and promptly told that, in an effort to 'make the company more effective...

Seeing Warframe miss is more difficult than getting a Legendary Core. The Follie's Hunt game mode released yesterday was a rare case of that happening, but developer Digital Extremes already set out a list of fixes for the controversial new game mode, coming in future updates. Developer Digital Extremes shared some of the upcoming changes to the game mode, touching upon several pain points. Follie, the game's main antagonist, will no longer be invincible; instead, Tenno can fend her off with enough damage, getting some breathing room. Multiple Follies can overwhelm the player, especially in the winding halls of the abandoned Vesper Relay, so this provides some agency by letting you fight back. Additionally,  Atramentum  pickups will now be shared with the entire squad, and it'll be easier to spot them. The resource is used with the new vendor to purchase Follie's parts, and having to compete with squadmates for them added more friction to an already-frustrating ...

A lot has been theorized over what the scariest enemy in games might be. I have played many horror games, seen many mods, and cross-referencing intel from both has revealed that the scariest monster in all of them is apparently just regular spiders. Are spiders in games that scary? Some of the best artists and game designers in the world did their best to come up with the likes of Pyramid Head, Nemesis from Resident Evil 3 , the Lickers from Resident Evil 2 , and so many others, but we seemingly cannot handle any kind of spider in a game. https://ift.tt/rfKXcya There are popular mods to remove Pyramid Head from Silent Hill 2 , but those exist to replace him with something funny or sexier, not to make him disappear because he's too scary. Name a recent game featuring spiders, however, and it'll have one (or various) mods to remove the critters or replace with something more palatable. https://youtu.be/X3LzqOGHglo Worst of all is that we aren’t usually even looking a...

The 2025 holiday season has come and gone, but it looks like Nintendo's tidings were less than jolly. According to Bloomberg , Nintendo Switch 2 sales in the U.S. dropped to record-breaking lows over the holidays. In response, Nintendo is rolling back Switch 2 production by 30% to recoup costs and give the company time to grapple with the grim realities of the modern gaming market. This brutal turn of events has, understandably, sparked confusion and fear among Nintendo enthusiasts. However, the company's history shows that this downturn could be part of a long-running trend that's defined Nintendo's console sales for decades, and that fact could offer Nintendo and its fans a glimmer of hope. Nintendo console sales have been on a rollercoaster for over two decades Screenshot by Destructoid The mysterious curse currently plaguing Nintendo console sales began with the GameCube. The Nintendo 64 was a smash hit, and Nintendo was eager to catch lightning in a bottle...

It has been almost 13 years since Grand Theft Auto 5 , and almost eight years since Red Dead Redemption 2. And it feels like that long, if not longer. Rockstar Games is definitely taking its time to polish Grand Theft Auto 6, which is great, because this is likely the most anticipated video game in this or any lifetime. It might be the most anticipated entertainment launch ever, period. It needs to be a hit, and likely will be, regardless of how it's initially received. Image via Rockstar Games But at the same time, wow. GTA 6 has been in full development since shortly after RDR2's launch, but early conceptual work likely started way sooner, potentially in 2014 already. When GTA 6 finally launches on November 19 (we hope), it will have been about the same time in full development as RDR2, so players expect that same level of obsessive detail. Leaks suggest it will be similar, with one person claiming to be a former dev stating that there are "hundreds of thou...

The first team for the Road to the Final promo is coming soon to FC 26 , and it's likely going to feature some amazing items. So far, EA Sports has remained tight-lipped about which cards will be part of the promo.

To become the strongest sorcerer in Cursed Gear, you will need to really min-max your build. Now, picking the right options for your character can be challenging with so many options out there. So, we prepared the following Cursed Gear Gears and Clan tier list to help you choose only the best ones for your build. Cursed Gear Gears Tier List All Gears in Cursed Gear ranked from best to worst - Image via TierMaker. In the above Cursed Gear tier list, we ranked all Gears from best to worst, taking into consideration their movesets and passive abilities.
