Fortnite brings back fan-favorite cosmetics, but there’s a catch

Fortnite cosmetics are extremely valuable to players of the community. Fans spend ludicrous amounts of V-Bucks to get their hands on their favorite skin, be it a Marvel superhero or an Anime character.

Over the years, Epic has brought numerous collab skins and cosmetics and has released them over time to give a chance to some newer players to purchase them. However, certain cosmetics like the Travis Scott set were left behind, thus deeming them extremely rare in the community.

But there was one more cosmetic set that was last seen in the Item Shop over 1,000 days ago − until now. Fortnite has finally brought the fan-favorite cosmetic items to the game, but not in the way players wanted.

Fortnite brings back Venom skins but removes the glider and contrail from the set

Epic has finally brought back the Venom and Eddie Brock skins to the Fortnite Item Shop after over 3 years. The cosmetic set has returned as a result due to the latest collab with the film Venom 3: The Last Dance that’s out now.

The same collab also added Agony and She-Venom skins to the game, which are also symbiotes in the film. However, the Venom and Eddie Brock set, instead of each item sold individually is now being sold in a bundle.

But still, the Venom bundle is missing a Contrail and the Eddie Brock bundle is missing a Symbiote Sail glider. Furthermore, Epic has also announced that they’ll bring crucial changes to the pickaxes of both skins so they can also be used with other skins in the future.

This means that pickaxes, like Thor’s Mjolnir which were only allowed to be used by certain skins, can be used by other characters in the game. While the latter is a breath of relief to some players, the removal of the glider and contrail ticked off players in a bad way.

One such player said, “We riot. This discrimination against gliders is just ridiculous.” Another wrote, “If they’re making the pickaxes universal bc they heard us, they can add these soon.” A third user commented, “I would’ve actually bought the skin if the glider was included, I ain’t about to buy venom so he can use a metal umbrella as a glider.”

While Epic has not stated the reason behind the removal of the glider from the bundle, players assume they’re making crucial design changes to it before it returns back to the shop.

Easy God Mode Glitch Lets You Farm XP & Camos in Black Ops 6 Zombies

Easy God Mode Glitch Lets You Farm XP & Camos in Black Ops 6 Zombies


Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is barely out and already one YouTuber has discovered a God Mode glitch to become completely invincible in Zombies mode.

If you’re looking to farm high rounds in Black Ops 6 Zombies, it can be a little tricky, especially when playing solo.

After all, surviving the undead in Treyarch’s new round-based Zombies mode is extremely challenging, particularly when you pass Round 25. So if you’re struggling to stay alive to farm XP and weapon camos, here’s how to activate God Mode and become completely invincible instead.

How to Activate God Mode on Terminus Island

To activate the God Mode glitch on Black Ops 6’s Terminus map and become completely invincible in-game, follow these steps:

First, survive on Terminus as normal until you get the special Amalgam zombie spawning (the first Amalgam should appear at Round 17).

Head to the Docks where you’ll find a zipline on the southeast side of the map.

God Mode Location Black Ops 6 Zombies Terminus

Wait until the Amalgam is close and then ascend up the zipline at the exact same moment that the special zombie grabs you.

If performed with the correct timing, you will remain on the ground but the Amalgam (and every other zombie) will now no longer register you as an enemy!

The timing is extremely precise, but if you miss it, simply ascend and descend on the zipline to try again. Be sure to clear out the weaker zombies so you’re not bothered by other enemies first.

You have now activated God Mode, making you completely safe from the undead hordes! All zombies will no longer detect you, and they’ll instead just wander to specific locations around the map, ready for you to kill them.

This glitch was found by YouTuber Caspahz, the master of discovering God Mode glitches in Call of Duty Zombies.

He determined that the best location to farm the undead is either the Shipwreck or Castle Rock Island, as these areas allow you to stand in one place and mow down any enemies who come within range.

Removing God Mode Invincibility.

To disable this glitch and become targetable once again, you must return to the zipline and actually ascend it.

Once you’ve had enough of XP and camo farming, you can disable God Mode in this manner and return to standard gameplay.

Paint By Pixel 2 Switch Review

Paint By Pixel 2 Switch Review


I wouldn’t call Paint by Pixel 2 a game. It’s a virtual paint by numbers kit. You have a black and white canvas filled with numbered squares. Then on the right is a bank of colored numbers. So paint the three color in the three square. There are several sizes of pictures, ranging from tiny to massive. The bigger the picture, the more colors that are used and the more intricate the design. Best of all, you cannot screw up, because you can’t paint the wrong color in the wrong square. But Paint by Pixel 2’s biggest strength is also its biggest weakness.

The game will show you where the pixels corresponding to the color are.

You see, in Paint By Pixel 2 you can select brush size. Since you can’t mess up. You just scribble the pixels and the color fills in. In fact, you can even just fill the section with the color, negating the scribbling all together. And when you get down to a few pixels missed, just click auto-solve and the remaining pixels fill in automatically. This actually a very helpful feature.

Paint by Pixel 2 is a cheap copy of paint by numbers. Because off all the short cuts you can take, there isn’t pride in a creating a beautiful image. Just scribbling until completion isn’t the point of paint by numbers. The numbers are just a guide for novice painters to paint the image. There’s none of that feeling of pride in completion here. It is for that reason I’m giving Paint By Pixel 2 a YMMV with a seven back-end score. There isn’t anything broken here, I just don’t see the point in buying this. You’re better off playing Piczle Lines 2 or a picross game. At the least those are actual puzzles.

Overall: Paint by Pixel 2 misses the point of paint by numbers and therefore just feels hollow and pointless to play.

Verdict: YMMV

Tales of the Kytin Age: Embark on an Epic Fantasy RPG of Giant Insects, Mutant Heroes, and a World Reclaimed by Nature – On Kickstarter Now – TGN – Tabletop Gaming News


Geoff Gray, known as KytinousG, has launched Tales of the Kytin Age on Kickstarter, an immersive fantasy RPG set in Earth’s distant future. Gray has been developing the game and world for over 35 years, Tales of the Kytin Age takes players into a world where towering fungi, mutant insects, and a changed humanity populate the remnants of a lost civilization. This society faces constant threats from the immense creatures that rule the land.

The world, crafted meticulously by Gray, introduces four distinct human forms adapted to the harsh realities of a radically transformed Earth. From Neotypes to Insectiles, players can customize characters based on evolved survival traits, moving beyond traditional RPG archetypes.

Combat relies on strategic turn-based play, pitting characters against nature’s insect overlords. The game’s structure invites character-driven progression, fostering player-driven narratives set against a richly detailed lore that spans cities, kingdoms, and biomes shaped by nuclear winter and a relentless cycle of adaptation.

Gray, responsible for nearly all aspects of the project apart from the artwork by Yasen Stoilov, brings his experience in graphic arts and entomology into Tales of the Kytin Age. Backers have options for a standard gamebook or a deluxe boxed set with added resources including an adventure book, a poster map, a game screen, deluxe character sheets, and a slipcase. Following the launch, Gray plans to release more expansions, supplements, and even miniatures, giving players the tools to fully explore the Kytin Age.

The campaign for Tales of the Kytin Age runs until November 24th.

Overwatch 2 6v6 Tests to Begin in Season 14

Overwatch 2 6v6 Tests to Begin in Season 14


For those that missed the 6v6 format of the first Overwatch and wished it was in Overwatch 2, you’ll be able to get that familiar taste back soon, though only temporarily, as Blizzard Entertainment has announced that they will be testing the Overwatch 2 6v6 mode in Season 14.

This was announced by the studio in a new blog post today centered around the 6v6 discussion for Overwatch 2. According to Blizzard, they are conducting two different tests for the 6v6 mode both happening in the game’s next season. The first test, which will launch a week into Season 14, won’t be your standard 2-2-2 role queue from the first Overwatch, but rather, will be more like Open Queue, which the studio internally refers to as “Min 1, Max 3”: each team of 6 must have at least 1 of each role, and no more than 3.

VALORANT Latest Tease Is The Exact Promise Overwatch 2 Failed To Deliver On

Riot Games has officially teased that a ‘playable experience’ for VALORANT is in development.

The second test happens in Season 14’s mid-cycle, and will offer the familiar 2-2-2 team composition (two damage, two support, two tanks), though it will incorporate some principles introduced in OW2 such as fewer CC’s (crowd control) and the hero reworks. These 6v6 tests will have their own card in Unranked alongside other modes, and won’t take the place of other games modes like seasonal events or Quick Play. Blizzard adds that they will also implement balance changes that will apply to these two 6v6 test modes, with the tank role feeling the biggest change, as their power and survivability will go down.

Can 5v5 and 6v6 Co-Exist in Overwatch 2?

Overwatch 2 Sigma Trying To Split His Weapon In Two

For those wondering whether there’s a future where Overwatch 2 can feature both 5v5 and 6v6, this is something Blizzard has thought of as well. While the studio can’t answer that question right now, the dev team notes that they want to make a game that players will want to play. If the community clamors for it, and Blizz gets the “signal” that it is what players want, they are open to the idea of it, since they know their players could want more than one experience.

With Overwatch 2’s Season 13 launching just this month, and each season of the hero shooter lasting for a total of nine weeks, this means Season 14 will fall somewhere in mid-December. I don’t know about you, but getting the 6v6 mode back — albeit temporarily — in December will feel like an early Christmas present from the studio to the community. If you like what you play, then, make sure to let your voice be heard by Blizzard to have 6v6 stick.

If you’ve only recently played Overwatch 2, the first Overwatch which was released in 2016 amd wasn’t free-to-play, featured a 6v6 format in all modes. Blizzard, in wanting to push for a much faster style of play, decided to eschew having two tanks available in a team, to avoid having two shields clogging up the battlefield. It’s debatable whether this was the right move or not, and I suspect it’ll depend on who you ask.

How to solve the piano puzzle in Black Ops 6

How to solve the piano puzzle in Black Ops 6


The piano puzzle is one of the earlier mysteries you’ll come across in the Black Ops 6 campaign.

Found on the way to the training area on the safehouse’s ground floor, you’ll have to find a hidden code to play the piano, which, in turn, will lead to more secrets to solve.

This Black Ops 6 guide offers an explainer on how to figure out the piano puzzle, as well as an explicit piano puzzle solution.

How to solve the piano puzzle in Black Ops 6

The first piece of the puzzle for solving the piano puzzle is picking up the blacklight torch. This is located on the nearby table in the same room, and can be toggled to read hidden messages.

With the blacklight turned on, use the piano. You’ll see characters appear above the keys, which is a vital part of solving the puzzle. But what do these characters relate to, exactly?

If you haven’t already, turn the blacklight on while exploring the mansion, which is how you’ll find the code. If you’re struggling but still want to solve it yourself, know that everything you need is closer than you think.

If you want to know what to do next, we’ll start explaining where to look after the below image.

This is the sort of clue you’re looking for to solve the piano puzzle.

To find the piano puzzle clues, use the blacklight in the room you found it in. Specifically, look directly above the piano, where you’ll find the first note you need to play.

It also has an arrow pointing right. Follow this direction, and you’ll come across a second note. Repeat this until you work your way around the room, until you have five notes.

With all notes in hand, we can now play the piano. Make sure the blacklight is turned on, and play the keys directly below each note you found in the room in the order you found them in.

The piano puzzle solution is:

If you are successful, a hidden door to the right will open up — leading to a secret basement area, where more safehouse puzzles await.

If the code above doesn’t work for you, it’s possible the solution is random for each player. If that’s the case, follow the above steps, writing down or taking pictures of each note as you go, and enter those into the piano. Good luck!

In this comprehensive analysis, we will delve into the RAM specifications of the PS5 Pro and compare them to the original PS5. We will also discuss the impact of RAM on gaming performance and other console features.

RAM Capacity

GDDR6 Memory: Both the PS5 and PS5 Pro utilize GDDR6 memory, a high-performance type of memory designed for graphics processing. GDDR6 offers faster data transfer rates compared to previous generations of memory, which is essential for modern gaming consoles.

Capacity: The PS5 Pro features a slightly increased RAM capacity compared to the original PS5. While the exact amount may vary slightly between different models, the Pro typically offers a modest boost in RAM, providing additional resources for demanding games and applications.

How Much RAM Does a PS5 Pro have?

Impact on Gaming Performance

Handling Demanding Games: The increased RAM capacity in the PS5 Pro allows it to handle more demanding games with greater ease. This is particularly noticeable in games that require large amounts of data to be loaded into memory simultaneously, such as open-world titles or games with complex environments.

Smoother Gameplay: With more RAM available, the PS5 Pro can reduce the frequency of loading screens and stuttering, resulting in a smoother and more consistent gaming experience.

Multitasking: The additional RAM in the Pro model can also improve multitasking performance, allowing you to switch between games or applications more quickly and efficiently.

Background Tasks: The Pro’s increased RAM capacity can allow the console to handle background tasks more effectively, such as downloading updates or running system processes.

Comparison to the Original PS5

Modest Improvement: While the RAM increase in the PS5 Pro is not as substantial as some other hardware upgrades, it can still make a noticeable difference in certain scenarios.

For gamers who prioritize performance and a smoother gaming experience, the PS5 Pro’s increased RAM is a welcome addition.
