Helldivers 2 dev cracks down on ‘suspicious super credit activity’, though it would help if earning premium currency wasn’t so boring to begin with

A segment of players in Helldivers 2 has found ways to exploit super credits, prompting developer Arrowhead to address the issue. Arrowhead acknowledged player frustrations regarding cheating and announced plans to implement changes to tackle the problem. The current method of earning super credits is seen as tedious, as they can only be obtained from a limited number of points on the map, and the most efficient way to accumulate them is by playing on easier difficulty levels. Arrowhead has sold over 20 million copies of the game and is considering introducing new side objectives or combat challenges to enhance the super credit earning process. The studio has been responsive to player feedback, leading to a shift in Steam reviews from mostly negative to predominantly positive in a couple of months.

Valve has rewired Counter-Strike 2’s bomb to make it more spectacular, but potentially less deadly

The recent updates in Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) include the introduction of volumetric smoke grenades, which provide true 3D smoke cover, and a reimagined bomb mechanic that creates an explosive wave of destruction impacting the entire map post-detonation. Valve YouTuber Gabe Follower has showcased gameplay footage of the new bomb technology, which includes a shockwave effect. Additionally, there is a private testing feature for a console command that allows players to remotely detonate grenades by shooting them. Counter-Strike 2 remains the most popular title on Steam, while its predecessor, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, has also seen a resurgence, attracting tens of thousands of players despite not being featured on the Steam store.

Tempest Rising, a successor to the Command & Conquer series, features three factions: the Global Defense Force (GDF), the Tempest Dynasty, and the Veti. The Veti faction, previously AI-controlled, will receive its own campaign in a paid expansion titled The Veti's Wrath, which includes 11 new campaign missions. The Veti are inspired by Ancient Egyptian aesthetics and have unique gameplay mechanics focused on conversion and sacrifice, allowing players to resurrect fallen enemy soldiers as "enlightened" units.

Tempest Rising is currently available at a 30% discount, retailing for £21, with the promotion ending tomorrow.

The study revealed that some VPNs excel in speed while others prioritize security features, and not all services provide the same level of data protection, with certain logging practices raising concerns. The findings encourage users to closely examine VPN services regarding speed, privacy policies, and data management, while urging VPN providers to improve transparency and invest in user security technologies.

The most deranged videogame challenge run I’ve seen: A no-hit playthrough of the ‘Unfair’ difficulty in a 100-hour RPG

Davey Gunface, a YouTuber, achieved a no-hit playthrough on the Unfair difficulty setting of Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous.

His journey includes notable characters like the Rowdy Rogue and Sabertooth Tiger pets. Gunface's full video documenting this achievement is three hours long and available on YouTube.
