Battlefield 6 Season 3 completely transforms vehicle damage and repairs, in the name of “calculated risks”

DICE Game Designer Chris Matte announced significant updates to vehicle gameplay in Battlefield 6 Season 3, focusing on improving combat interactions based on player feedback. The update will enhance vehicle consistency, readability, and responsiveness, addressing issues with balance in vehicle strengths and weaknesses. Key changes include: - Most anti-tank weapons will now require three hits to destroy a tank, with some exceptions. - Damage calculations will be simplified, reducing variance based on impact location and angle. - Vehicle health pools will be rebalanced, and repairs will weaken over time during combat. - Vehicle health regeneration will occur after a 12-second delay, at nearly double the rate compared to Season 2. - Tanks will have improved acceleration, turning responsiveness, and turret rotation speeds. - Damage will no longer directly affect mobility but will be linked to specific tools. - Aircraft will receive additional UI indicators for threat awareness. - Vehicle and Engineer loadouts will be redesigned for clarity and balance. - A balance pass on launchers will enhance underutilized options and ensure distinct roles for each launcher. The update aims to create a more engaging vehicle gameplay experience, empowering players to make meaningful decisions and take calculated risks. Battlefield 6 Season 3 is set to launch in May, with detailed patch notes to follow.

You don’t actually have to fight Arc Raiders deadly new robot to get its parts

Arc Turbines are formidable mechanical enemies in Arc Raiders that descend from the sky and pose a significant challenge to players. Defeating them yields valuable Turbine Compressor materials, necessary for the Avian Alarm project and crafting the Powered Descender item. Players can also obtain Turbine Compressors from Arc Couriers, which are less dangerous and spawn more frequently in areas like the swamp on Dam Battlegrounds or during the Electromagnetic Storm map condition. To effectively engage an Arc Turbine, players should wait for it to land before attacking, use Deadlines for cover, or shoot from a distance with a Hullcracker, targeting the spinning yellow cylinders at its core. Shooting while the Turbine is airborne will provoke a lightning attack.

“This is exactly the kind of thing driving me away from Windows”: even Edge users don’t want this new feature

Recent polling data shows that Microsoft Edge users dislike the browser's automatic launch upon logging into Windows 11. Microsoft is testing a feature that would have Edge open automatically at startup, which has sparked significant discussion and frustration among users. A banner notifying select users of this change has been observed, and the behavior has been confirmed in the latest Edge Beta build. User reactions on Reddit include strong negative sentiments, with some users threatening to abandon Windows 11 if this feature is enforced. Despite the backlash, Microsoft Edge is viewed as a competent browser, though its aggressive promotion tactics may alienate potential users.

What is the Microsoft Windows game that Iran is ‘using’ to tease Donald Trump

The United States and Iran are engaging in digital tensions, with Iranian embassies using social media for pointed critiques of President Trump. A notable instance occurred when the Iranian consulate in Mazar-i-Sharif shared a satirical video combining gameplay from the 90s game Minesweeper with a map of the Strait of Hormuz, humorously highlighting Trump's navigation efforts. The video features animated explosions and sarcastic text, emphasizing the risks associated with US navigation in the strategically important waterway. Iran has stated it deployed mines in the Strait of Hormuz to control maritime traffic, and the use of Minesweeper in this context serves to illustrate the dangers of navigating these waters.
