The second new weapon added to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone in season four back in 2020 was an assault rifle—and it’s reminiscent of a classic from the past. Inspired by the Galil, a favorite gun from Call of Duty: Black Ops, the CR-56 AMAX is a decent assault rifle that works best at close to medium range. It’s not the best gun to take down enemies at a distance, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be customized to work well.

Like other planetary resources, it’s easy to stock up on Dusklight Shards in Destiny 2—and just as easy to burn through them. This resource spawns all across the EDZ, and players may already have a fair amount of them just from completing activities, Patrols, or bounties in the region. Dusklight Shards have a few different uses. Banshee-44 sells Upgrade Modules, Enhancement Prisms, and Ascendant Shards for a rotating planetary resource every day, meaning you might need to shell out some Dusklight Shards if you need to top up your upgrade materials.

Each year, Overwatch receives massive content updates celebrating various holidays and seasons, while also diving deep into existing lore. These events provide players ample opportunity to obtain new limited cosmetics, partake in new game modes, and enjoy new scenery in existing Overwatch maps. Though the release of Overwatch 2 is in the near future, it is expected that these events will continue throughout 2022 in a similar pattern, allowing players to get their hands on items they may have missed from previous years, as well as earn new ones.

Players around the world are saying Alola to Alola in the Pokémon Go season finale for the Season of Alola, which is running from May 25 to 31.  Throughout the event, players will encounter Pokémon from around the Alola region more frequently in the wild, eggs, and raids, all while completing a new end-of-season Special Research story based on the island region.  Among those increased spawns, the guardian deities of the Alola region, Tapu Koko, Tapu Lele, Tapu Bulu, and Tapu Fini will all be appearing at the same time in five-star raids.

Assault rifles are the Swiss Army knife of first-person shooters and that’s no different in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War—they can do a little bit of everything. There are many assault rifles to choose from in Black Ops Cold War. All of them offer something unique, and with so many options to choose from, it can be daunting to pick one to run with in pubs or League Play.

Call of Duty: Warzone’s Pacific update added dozens of new guns to the game from Vanguard—and the STG44 is still one of its best. The STG44 is far and away Vanguard’s best assault rifle. It’s not quite as good but it’s still also incredibly strong in Warzone, thankfully, so it should find its way into players’ loadouts before they ever drop into a game in Caldera. Seriously, make sure you level it up.

Escape from Tarkov is one of the most intense and challenging first-person shooters on the market and is the perfect game for players looking for a high-stakes experience. Players lose all items if they die while on a run and escaping with your life is easier said than done. Despite this tedious experience, thousands of players enjoy the game daily and new players consistently join the fight.  Understanding how to download Escape from Tarkov is simple, although you won’t find the game on any major services like Steam.

The continued growth of Twitch in the past five years has resulted in an inflation of viewership numbers that make figures that were once record-breaking almost seem pedestrian.  In 2018, Ninja notably set records as he initiated a meteoric rise of viewership on the platform by playing with celebrities like Drake, but looking back on how many people tuned into his stream, his peak viewership isn’t even among the top 10 anymore.

In Elden Ring, players are given a near-infinite amount of choices when it comes to character progression. The world of the Lands Between is full of options that can influence the player’s entire experience. Whether they’re deciding which dungeons to traverse, bosses to slay, NPCs to associate with, or simply what weapon to use, players are forced to make decisions with little to no context on what lies ahead. Luckily, not all is lost when it comes to progressing one’s character in Elden Ring.

Wolftone Draw is Destiny 2‘s latest bow in Season of the Lost, bringing with it a series of new seasonal perks and a host of combinations. Finding a god roll for Wolftone Draw is fairly simple since it only rolls with six perks on either perk column—and a few of them are far better than the rest. Here’s our personal god roll for Wolftone Draw so you know what perks to look out for (and which ones to dismantle):
