The best Type 99 loadout in Call of Duty: Vanguard

In World War II, snipers turned the tide of the battlefield with their ability to pick enemies off from a distance. In Call of Duty: Vanguard, you can do the same with the Type 99. During the second World War, the Type 99 was a sniper rifle used by the Japanese. Certain variations of the gun used a straight bolt and a scope mounted on the left side of the gun to allow for the use of stripper clips for faster reloads.

All version exclusive Pokémon in Sword and Shield’s Isle of Armor expansion

Just like with every piece of content released for the Pokémon franchise, there are version-exclusive Pokémon that you’ll only encounter in either Sword or Shield while exploring the Isle of Armor.  The list isn’t nearly as extensive as the ones used for the base games, but this does mean you’ll need to find someone to trade with to complete your Isle of Armor Pokédex or grab the other version and a second expansion pass.

All visual tasks in Among Us

The crewmates in Among Us can win in one of two different ways: either they identify and expel all the imposters, or they complete all their assigned tasks. At the start of each Among Us round, every crew member has a certain number of tasks to complete. When all crew members have completed their tasks, the imposters lose. Although crewmates likely won’t have enough time to finish all their tasks before the imposters take them out, that doesn’t mean tasks are useless.

Just like with most multi-part quests, you will need to track down some important NPCs as you try to complete the story of Pokémon Sword and Shield’s The Crown Tundra expansion. One of these characters is simply known as the Mayor of Freezington, who will be a recurring character helping you and Peony solve your various Legendary Clues.  His main role in the story is helping to weave the Reins of Unity, an item that will help Calyrex combine with one of the two new horse Legendaries, Spectrier or Glastrier—though you will actually need him to be present in Freezington to further your quest.

What is Cleave in Magic: The Gathering?

New to Magic: The Gathering’s upcoming set Crimson Vow, Cleave is a new alternate cost mechanic that gives players more flexibility with how they use cards. While all cards have a traditional cost associated with them, some cards in Crimson Vow have what is called a “Cleave” cost.
