Fellow cape-wearers, I’m broadcasting to you from the bridge of the SES Fist of Individual Merit with good news: Due to “accounting errors,” you’re getting 50% extra XP and Requisition awards in Helldivers 2 this weekend. “Responsible parties are undergoing reeducation,” says the effect’s in-game description.

With Diablo 4’s leaderboards update on the horizon, players are brainstorming what kind of builds will go the fastest. A group of expert build crafters might already have the answer: a sorcerer build that teleports through dungeons so fast that it barely looks like you’re playing Diablo anymore.
