5 Essential Tips In 'Vampyr'

Destiny 2 is a massive game, packed with so many things to do and places to explore that it can feel daunting at first -- even for Destiny veterans. Once you master the new mechanics, however, Destiny 2 is a sublime experience.So here are five essential tips to get started in Destiny 2.Raise Your Gears Power Level at Every OpportunityThe quest to reach level 20 is important for unlocking your Guardians subclass abilities and equipping better gear, but the true strength of your character is determined by their Power Level. Power is calculated as the average power of all of your weapons and gear. The game will slowly trickle more powerful items your way as you continue to equip gear. Its good advice to not become attached to any weapons prior to hitting the level cap and to change into more powerful gear at every opportunity - even if the gear is a lower rarity than what you currently have equipped.Unlock All Subclasses ASAPIn Destiny 2 the evil Ghaul has stolen the light and with it all your sweet super powers. In order to regain your lost powers, youll need to find unique class items and bring to the shard of the Traveler. Complete the subclass quests as soon as you receive the relics that trigger them, as you can only hold one relic in your inventory at a time. Relics for Subclass quests are commonly found in treasure chests and caches as you raise your level.Jump to New Planets Immediately After Unlocking ThemAfter the fall of the Last City, you must journey across the solar system to reunite with the Vanguard leaders Cayde-6, Ikora Rey, and Commander Zavala. Hit new planets and complete the first story mission on each as soon as you unlock them. The ability to complete Challenges, perform Patrols, and engage in Strike Missions will be unlocked once all of the Vanguard Leaders are brought back to the EDZ. These activities will help you level up faster and gain better gear, so dont get too distracted with Adventures and Lost Sectors too early!Raise Faction Rep for RewardsInstead of the Tower-specific factions from the first game, Destiny 2 has added new factions that are tied to the Vendor/Quest NPCs in each planet area: Devrim Kay on Earth, Sloane on Titan, Failsafe on Nessus, and Asher Mir on Io. There are several quick ways to raise rep, like completing Adventures, Patrols, and Public Events. You can also earn unique tokens for each planet that can be exchanged for rep. Each time you level up their rep, youll be able to claim a Bright Engram. However, you need to be level 20 before you can claim the legendary rewards. You can see the complete list of items that can be obtained through vendors by selecting the option to view rewards after you leveled up your reputation.Take part in Public EventsPublic Events have been overhauled in Destiny 2. Not only do their locations appear on your map in the Directory, but the icons also include countdowns to when the event begins. Public Events are a great way to gain powerful rewards and quickly raise faction rep. Its important to note that each Public Event has its own Heroic Modifier that can be triggered by performing specific actions. Heroic Public Events grant better rewards but are much more challenging than their normal counterparts.

Forza Motorsport 7, out now on Xbox One and PC, is a hyper-realistic racer that precisely models the real-world physics of the cars featured. But it's also a video game, which means there are plenty of ways you can get the leg up on naturally talented drivers. Follow these tips to make sure you come out on top.

1. Tune Your Difficulty

Forza Motorsport 7 makes it easy to change the difficulty via your car’s settings. If you’re a seasoned racing sim player, you’ll want to immediately turn off some driver assists like suggested line or ABS. And if terms like "suggested line" or "ABS" sound like gibberish to you, Forza still has you covered. In fact, the default settings of Forza are tailored for a casual experience, so you can gradually turn down assists as you get more comfortable with the game.

2. Rewind Whenever

Having trouble with a particular part of the track? Get wiped out or misjudge a turn? Spam the Y button to your heart’s content. You can rewind an unlimited amount of times without any penalty, making it the perfect tool to practice tough moments during your races. If you want to get better faster, this feature can be a literal life-saver!

3. Track Suggestions Are Just Suggestions

Forza Motorsport 7 turns on a helpful "suggested line" feature by default. It's a giant, impossible-to-miss track overlay that recommends where your car should be and when you should brake or accelerate for the "optimal line." While it's perfect for anyone first learning the lay of a track, remember that it's merely a suggestion. See if you can brake later, drive faster, and find a better line for your own personal style of racing.

4. Learn the Block Pass

One of the key components to succeeding in any racer is mastering the "block pass" -- when a driver zooms ahead of an opposing racer entering a corner and then slows down to "block" the optimal line. So be aggressive in outmaneuvering your opponents, but do watch out: you don’t want to crash!

5. Finesse the “E” Brake

A more advanced but equally vital skill to have in your toolset is using your vehicle’s emergency brake, or “e-brake”. This allows you quickly reposition your vehicle to enter a corner at a preferred angle or gives you some additional slowdown before entering a turn. Using the e-brake will cause your car to “fishtail, meaning the rear will lose grip and begin to move laterally, so you’ll need to practice often to perfect this technique and not spin out of control.

With a new historical setting comes brand new weapons, classes, and locations, and the evolution of the game mechanics means that player tactics must evolve with them.

'Battlefield V' Essential Tips

The competitive multiplayer modes of Call of Duty: WWII may feature weaponry from 70 years ago, but the moment-to-moment action is no less frantic than previous entries in the series. To make sure you come out on top of the leaderboards, follow these tips.

Study the Classes

Before your first multiplayer game in Call of Duty: WWII, you’ll be asked to select which division to join. Divisions determine which weapon loadout and abilities you’ll start with. The most newbie-friendly division is Infantry, where players will be equipped with a bayoneted assault rifle. The most difficult division is the Mountain Division, which is all about long-range combat.

You can always unlock another division after you gain some experience under your belt. Don’t fret about your initial decision, but make sure it’s something you think you’ll enjoy playing for your first dip into the game.

Stay Aware

The best way to play Call of Duty: WWII is with a paranoid mindset. Spawns may not be safe, and where you were three seconds ago might now be occupied by the enemy. Always be aware of your surroundings and use your audio to listen for footsteps or gunfire locations. It’s best to always be on the move, watching your “six” often for anybody hoping to pick you off.

Reload With Caution

After you’ve put down an enemy player, you probably have a habit of reloading your magazine. It makes sense, right? You want a full clip for the next engagement, but more often than not, the enemy you just dispatched will have an ally nearby looking to see who killed their friend. Listen for nearby footsteps or shots to discern if it’s safe to reload.

Scavenge Freely

You’re bound to walk over the fallen corpses of your fallen comrades or enemy. Their weapons will be available for you to pick up and use at your disposal. This a great feature for times when you’re out of ammo, in a bind or need a different weapon type for an advantage. Once you die, you’ll respawn with your original loadout so don’t worry about being stuck with the same weapon after swapping out your original.

Memorize the Maps

Last but not least, learn the maps like the back of your hand! Honestly, this is one of the easiest and most beneficial things you can do in a game like Call of Duty: WWII. Finding the high-traffic areas, sneaky flank sections and spawn areas will greatly increase your game IQ and KDR. While this will initially take some time, it’s easy to learn as it’s something that will happen on a subconscious level. Do your best to take mental notes and you’ll be a step ahead of others in no time.
