The Reduced to Rubble quest in Arc Raiders is a little odd. It’s not actually that hard when you know what you have to do, but since your first task includes photographing a location, I immediately found myself wondering whether I needed a camera (which isn’t even an item). And then you have the vague…
Fine, I’ll say it. The Tropics has always been my least favourite biome in Peak. I hate the exploding mushrooms that always send me hurtling off the mountain, and the fact that everything can and will poison you. Not to mention the ticks. Luckily, a new biome is rolling out this week on November 5,…

It also comes with…
The newest Path of Exile season, or league, is a great example of why you should never look at how other players are faring in a loot-based action RPG. Once you see what life is like when the RNG gods are generous, all you will know is pure envy. A handful of lucky players are…
The poor servers trying to keep up with the influx of players logging into Arc Raiders are starting to buckle. Many players, including PC Gamer’s own Morgan Park, are reporting matchmaking errors and queue times just as the extraction shooter hit just over 330,000 concurrent players on Steam. Considering it’s on consoles and other storefronts…
It’s official: It’s totally fair game to blame your graphics settings when you get sniped out of nowhere in Arc Raiders. You can blame it on the bushes that failed to hide your position against players who have found out that your graphics settings can be a slight competitive advantage. It wasn’t that you were…

Every other week, I’ll be sharing my thoughts on the genre, interviewing fellow MMO-heads like me, taking a deep-dive into mechanics we’ve all taken for granted, and, occasionally, bringing in guest writers to talk about their MMO of choice. Alright,…
