All Vault Locations in Fortnite Chapter 3, season one

One of the weekly challenges to kick off Fortnite Chapter Three, season one tasks players with opening a vault alongside another player. While this might not seem too tricky, you could be stuck for hours if you don’t know where to look. To complete the task, players will need to visit one of the many vaults hidden across the map and stand nearby to its entrance with all of their allies in Duos, Trios, or Squads.

Here’s every MTG planeswalker in Innistrad: Crimson Vow

A total of three planeswalkers are joining the Magic: The Gathering format via Innistrad: Crimson Vow, providing narrow but solid synergies within certain builds.  There are two planeswalkers that have consistently seen gameplay within the Standard format since rotation: Wrenn and Seven, and Lolth, Spider Queen. Out of the three new Innistrad: Crimson Vow (VOW) planeswalkers, Sorin the Mirthless is likely the most versatile. Chandra is primarily a Mono-Red planeswalker, while Kaya remains somewhat of a mystery until VOW digitally releases on Nov.

How to release Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus

Pokémon Legends: Arceus at its core wants you to travel across the Hisui region, catch Pokémon, and fill up the pages in your Pokédex. And this means you will be catching more Pokémon than you could ever use in a single playthrough.  While you are building up your Pokédex, you will likely end up catching multiple Pokémon of the same species. To avoid all of the clutter in your Pastures, Legend: Arceus’ equivalent for PC boxes, you will need to release at least a few Pokémon during your playthrough.

VALORANT Patch 3.10 to allow 5 stacks of any ranks in competitive queue

VALORANT players can look forward to enjoying five stacks with their friends regardless of rank in Patch 3.10. But the update is also introducing changes to “mitigate against competitive integrity issues,” according to Riot Games.  Grinding ranked matches in VALORANT can be a tough experience, especially when solo queueing or playing with a smaller group. Sometimes it’s impossible to play with friends altogether if they’re a higher rank, making it a limiting and disappointing experience.

Firefright god roll and best perks in Destiny 2

Destiny 2’s Season of the Haunted brought players a suite of new weapons with the Haunted aesthetic, boasting an astonishing gold color and supernatural details. Firefright might be one of the most impressive of the bunch, pairing that unique visual with an incredible sound design and a sight inspired by the Osteo Striga Exotic SMG. Though it’s easy to want to chase a god roll for Firefright, this auto rifle doesn’t really boast most of the established damage-boosting perks, which makes for some unorthodox picks.

How Pokémon Go’s new Master League Classic works

The Master League Classic has officially begun in Pokémon Go’s Go Battle League.

How to surrender in League of Legends: Wild Rift

Let’s be frank. Not every game is going to go well in Riot’s new mobile title, League of Legends: Wild Rift. When a game goes terribly wrong or things just aren’t going your way, surrendering and moving on to the next game is always an option.

When you’re in a game of Wild Rift, hit the settings button to the right of the mini-map.

The original Magic: The Gathering Innistrad vampire, Edgar Markov, is returning via Crimson Vow with a unique Double-Faced card that’s a legendary creature on one side and an Artifact on the other.  The reveal of Edgar, Charmed Groom by TCGplayer indicates that the Gatewatch and Sorin might not be the only ones attempting to crash Oliva Voldarn’s wedding of the ages.
