The highly anticipated Fallout 76: Burning Springs will officially launch on December 2nd, bringing the new map Burning Springs. Season 23 of FO76 will also be updated simultaneously, offering a wealth of gameplay and a captivating story.

Many players are undoubtedly eager to explore the new map. While the wait can be long, there are some things you can do to make sure you leave no regrets this season. Such as participating in the Milepost Zero event, completing raid instances, and checking your season rewards.

Milepost Zero Event

Fallout 76's PTS update announcement on October 6th stated that Milepost Zero event would no longer be available after December 2nd update. While the official statement indicated a future return in a better form, no specific date was given.

Milepost Zero event launched in September 2024 with FO76 Season 18 and has been with players for over a year. As a classic multiplayer mode in Fallout 76, Milepost Zero, despite its persistent issues, is still worth trying.

The main reason for recommending completing this event before the update is that FO76 promises to reward players who complete it before the update with a Caravan Investor title, an event banner, and 2000 gold bars. This reward is quite enticing, especially for players who enjoy collecting items.

However, it's almost the end of November, and some players may not have enough time to complete the event. Don't be too discouraged if you can't obtain all the rewards; the official team has provided new ways to acquire them.

You can acquire some Milepost Zero event rewards by trading with the following merchants in Highway Town:

• Splint: Redeemable for V63 Laser Carbin and accessory blueprints.
• Windy: Redeemable for Snow Globes sold by Milepost Zero merchants.
• Mac: Redeemable for decorative items, such as Makeshift Wine Rack and Noren Curtains.

The remaining Fallout 76 Items rewards will become event rewards for Spooky Scorched and Holiday Scorched, such as Lederhosen Outfit and Hat.

Complete Raids

Besides completing Milepost Zero event, you should also allocate some time to complete some raid challenges. Because Fallout 76 will be revamping Gleaming Depths in Season 23, raid rewards will also change accordingly.

According to the FO76 update announcement, the official plan is to add weekly challenges to Gleaming Depths. You must complete all content periodically to obtain rewards.

To accommodate the changes brought about by the addition of weekly challenges, Fallout 76 has redistributed raid rewards. The raid reward mechanism will now be such that the deeper you progress in the raid, the higher the quality of the rewards you can obtain.

After Season 23 update, raids will become a way for players to prove their strength, rather than a means to obtain specific rewards.

This is a good change for players who enjoy a challenge, but not so good for players who want to obtain the pieces they need through raids.

In current raid content, you can repeatedly farm a specific stage of a raid for a single piece of gear or blueprint. However, after Burning Springs update on December 2nd, obtaining some high-quality rewards will become more cumbersome. It will be tied to specific raids; you must complete those specific raids to obtain the reward.

Furthermore, due to the redistribution of raid rewards, some gear sets may require completing multiple different specific raids to collect all pieces.

For example, Power Armor currently only requires repeatedly farming EN06 Guardian to have a chance of obtaining the full set. However, after S23 update, this raid will only reward certain pieces of Power Armor; the remaining pieces will require completing other specific raids.

Therefore, you should check which blueprints or gear you need before the season update and complete as many raids as possible to obtain them now. Otherwise, once the new raids are released, you may need to spend much more time unlocking specific raids to obtain them.

Claim Rewards In Time

All players should check before December 2nd update to ensure they have claimed all season rewards. These rewards will disappear with the update, especially some unique season rewards, which will be permanently lost once missed. To avoid wasting your previous efforts, double-check everything!

In short, while you're looking forward to the new season, don't forget to check everything in the game related to Season 22 and make sure you don't miss any rewards. So, let's bring Season 22 to a perfect close and then greet the upcoming Fallout 76: Burning Springs with a fresh start!

Recently, the new map Stella Montis for ARC Raiders was released. Have you tried it yet? As a more intense PvP map, you'll need more skillful combat techniques to break through the encirclement and suppression of ARC enemies and other players, successfully acquire loot and withdrawal.

In these battles, you must use movement to approach enemies or dodge their attacks. You need to master some advanced movement techniques to assist you in combat.

Below, we will introduce some practical movement techniques, stamina-saving techniques, and skill tree point allocation to help you move, making your stamina usage more valuable and allowing you to be more flexible and unpredictable in combat.

Attack

In combat, you need to seize every opportunity to attack enemies, and movement is no exception. You can combine movement with attacks to create unexpected effects.

Dodge Roll & Attack

Dodge rolls are crucial ways to dodge enemy bullets in ARC Raiders, but they consume a lot of stamina. With full stamina, you can perform eight normal dodge rolls or four sprint dodge rolls. So how can you maximize the effectiveness of the roll?

The first method is to combine dodge rolls with shotgun auto-reload. That is, complete the shotgun auto-reload while you are dodge rolling, so you can immediately attack the enemy after the roll.

The type of shotgun isn't important; the key is to dodge roll immediately after firing. The shotgun auto-reload will occur simultaneously with your roll.

This makes the roll more than just a dodge; it becomes a preparation for your next attack, significantly increasing your mobility in combat.

The second method combines dodge with slide. This technique is suitable for areas with ample cover. The specific steps are: slide towards the enemy, fire, and immediately dodge roll behind cover.

You need fast hand speed to execute this series of actions; it must be fast enough to prevent the enemy from reacting.

Crouch And Jump & Attack

The main purpose of these two actions is to disrupt the enemy's vision, making it difficult for them to hit you. Crouch shooting is easy to understand; it involves frequently using a crouch during combat, preventing the enemy from quickly aiming at your crosshair.

Jump shooting can be used to close in on weaker enemies. You can jump and fire simultaneously. The enemy needs to constantly dodge your bullets, making it difficult to accurately hit you while you're jumping.

If you're worried that jumping will prevent you from accurately hitting enemies, you can choose semi-automatic or fully automatic firearms, such as Venator.

Stamina

Stamina in ARC Raiders is limited, so you need to plan your stamina usage wisely and master some techniques to reduce stamina consumption, such as utilizing unlimited stamina for movement and using gliding to conserve stamina.

Infinite Stamina

You first need to know the two time periods in ARC Raiders that grant you infinite stamina. One is when your stamina is just full, giving you 3-5 seconds of infinite stamina. The other is 10-15 seconds after using Adrenaline Shot.

In actual combat, you can use these two periods to run or jump without consuming stamina. Note that during these periods, avoid using dodge rolls unless absolutely necessary, as it will immediately end the infinite stamina state.

Utilizing Sliding

Sliding in ARC Raiders is very useful; it instantly restores your stamina. So, when your stamina is depleted, try using sliding to quickly recover.

In addition, when you encounter terrain that allows you to slide in the game, try to use sliding as much as possible. It doesn't consume stamina and allows you to move a certain distance quickly.

Avoiding Fall Damage

ARC Raiders includes fall damage to make the game more realistic, which can sometimes be inconvenient, so it's generally best to avoid jumping from heights. However, here are two tips to help you avoid fall damage from small heights.

The first tip is to press crouch or dodge just before you hit the ground. If you roll after landing, congratulations, you've successfully avoided fall damage.

The timing of pressing crouch or dodge is crucial. You can watch your character's feet and press it at the very moment before impact. Pressing it too early or too late will result in failure.

The second tip is to use vaulting. Unlike the previous tip, you need to jump at the edge of the potential fall and trigger vaulting. If the vaulting animation appears, it means you can land safely without damage. If there is no vaulting animation, then you should immediately use the first technique to avoid the fall damage.

Both techniques require practice to master. Once mastered, they'll allow for easier evacuation togother with your acquired ARC Raiders Items.

Setting Up Your Skill Tree

You can customize your skill tree based on your movement habits or the terrain of each game, but there are a few skills you must pay attention to. They are very practical and can significantly improve your movement.

• Marathon Runner: This skill reduces the stamina cost of movement, meaning you can travel a greater distance with the same amount of stamina.
• Youthful Lungs: This skill increases your maximum stamina. It's basically a must-have, greatly increasing your skill ceiling and giving you more options in combat.
• Slip and Slide: This skill is specifically for gliding, increasing gliding distance and speed. It makes your gliding smoother and improves your movement efficiency.

Choosing Equipment And Potions

To acquire more high-quality loot and successfully extract in ARC Raiders matches, you must prepare some suitable ARC Raiders items to complement your actions.

Regarding firearms, for even better execution, you can choose to carry a shotgun and a semi-automatic weapon, such as Il Toro. This gun has automatic reloading and can be used in conjunction with dodge maneuvers.

Regarding potions, besides the essential health regeneration potion, two other potions are also crucial.

One is Li'l Smoke Grenade. After use combined with the aforementioned movement techniques, it can greatly increase your chances of a safe extraction, so it's best to carry some every game.

The other is Adrenaline Shot. It can be very useful, whether it helps with map traversal or restoring stamina for counterattacks during combat.

These movement-related tips in ARC Raiders are worth practicing and applying in actual gameplay. Hopefully, these will help you acquire more loot and make a perfect extraction in the game.

Since its release, CoD Black Ops 7 has garnered immense attention from thrill-seeking shooter players. While many game modes from previous Call of Duty titles have been included, BO7 also features some entirely new modes and settings.

Among these, the newly added Endgame mode is currently one of the most popular. To attract more players, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 has eliminated the tedious campaign-gating. No missions need to be completed; all players can directly experience this mode starting November 21st.

If you're unfamiliar with this new mode, I'll introduce it to you. Hopefully, this will help you have a better gaming experience in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7.

Endgame Mode

CoD Black Ops 7 Endgame mode incorporates elements popular with Warzone and Zombies modes, but it's a purely PvE cooperative player mode.

At the start of the challenge, players are dropped directly into the air above Avalon. You need to choose a suitable landing spot and land safely. After that, you will need to team up with other players to complete objectives, improve your strength, and engage in fierce battles with enemies. 

It's worth noting that Avalon has four areas of varying difficulty. You'll need to ensure sufficient survival space and safe evacuation within these areas to maintain your current gear and combat level. This is essential for continuously challenge higher difficulty levels.

Undoubtedly, this new cooperative mode adds new content and vitality to the traditional CoD multiplayer game mode.

Previously, to access CoD Black Ops 7 Endgame mode, players needed to complete 11 campaign missions or meet players with challenge permissions. Fortunately, starting November 21st, players can freely team up to explore.

Features

Based on player feedback across various platforms, Endgame mode has received mixed reviews, which is closely related to players' individual adventure preferences.

Many players find the initial stages of this mode relatively monotonous and repetitive, which is why some players are not interested in it. They prefer to immerse themselves in Zombies mode for surprises or Multiplayer mode for battles.

However, as players' combat levels increase, they will unlock more challenging content, culminating in a highly challenging final battle in CoD Black Ops 7.

Furthermore, the risk mechanics of Endgame mode require players to be extremely cautious during their adventures. If the player's character dies or fails to evacuate in time, their combat level will reset to zero, requiring a restart.

This all-or-nothing mechanism keeps players who enjoy this type of adventure investing time and effort into this mode.

Compensation

For players who want to directly try CoD BO7 Endgame mode, being able to play immediately is certainly good news. However, it's less friendly to players who have already unlocked the content.

Fortunately, the developers have some remedial measures to ensure that players who have unlocked Endgame mode do not feel their rights have been harmed by the adjustments to the game mechanics.

For players who unlock Endgame, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 will offer additional rewards to compensate for their time and effort:

• 3 x 1-hour double level XP tokens
• 3 x 1-hour double weapon XP tokens
• 3 x 1-hour double battle pass XP tokens
• 3 x Perkaholic Gobblegums

These rewards are substantial and can be used before playing multiplayer games or CoD Black Ops 7 Bot Lobbies challenge, providing an extra boost in matches and making it easier to level up, upgrade weapons, and battle pass in-game.

In addition to the above rewards, players will also receive unique rewards unlocked in Co-Op Campaign, Global XP, an exclusive Camo track, and more:

• Irides One M15 MOD 0 Blueprint
• Phantom Shadow SK Blueprint
• Razorfire Vertex Ryden 45K Blueprint
• Grounded Mason Operator Skin
• 55,000 XP and more rewards

While unlocking Endgame mode after only one week of release might not seem like part of the official plan. Regardless, starting November 21st, all CoD Black Ops 7 players will be able to directly experience this brand-new Endgame mode and gradually progress through the most challenging adventure.

Step into the world of CoD Black Ops 7 now and experience this richly designed mode.

In Arc Raiders, every raider strives to survive in the surface world, scavenging various materials to strengthen their character and base. These materials not only affect your win rate against ARC enemies, but more importantly, they are essential resources for crafting various weapons and equipment.

Normally, we can obtain various materials by defeating enemies and looting their corpses, but these materials are usually junk, making it difficult to craft high-level weapons. Therefore, if you want to craft some key items, then aiming for those rare materials instead of focusing on clearing out the small monsters on the ground is what you need to do right now.

Among these, Steel Springs, as an essential item for completing Expedition Project in Arc Raiders, and also a necessary material for crafting Torrente I and other weapons and equipment, are rare items that countless players yearn to find.

However, their rarity also means that finding these Steel Springs is difficult. If you don't want to be bogged down in endless exploration and regrets, then you can't miss this guide. We're here to share how to find Steel Spring in the game and help you replenish your supplies!

Steel Spring Locations

Arc Raiders provides several locations where players can find Steel Spring. Due to its properties, Steel Spring is usually found in industrial areas, and while it occasionally drops in other locations, the probability is relatively low. You have a chance to find a large amount of this resource in the following areas:

• Dam Battlegrounds: Power Generation Complex & Water Treatment
• Spaceport: Vehicle Maintenance
• The Blue Gate: Warehouse

Among these locations, Power Generation Complex and Water Treatment provide a stable supply of Steel Spring. However, if you just want to quickly loot resources and make a successful extraction, then we recommend prioritizing Water Treatment, as it's cramped but has a wealth of resources, allowing you to quickly scavenge and leave before the enemy arrives.

In comparison, the basement in Power Generation Complex offers a larger space, hiding not only a large amount of Steel Spring but also a wealth of other materials, making it definitely worth your time to cultivate. However, the hidden PvP and ARC threats here shouldn't be underestimated. If you're confident in your skills, then come and give it a try!

Overall, since Dam Battlegrounds has many industrial buildings, each containing 1-2 Steel Sprin spawns and drops, Dam Battlegrounds is definitely not to be missed if you need to stockpile Steel Sprin.

In addition, if you want to reduce the difficulty of collecting Steel Sprin, Warehouse on The Blue Gate is your best choice. Because industrial materials constantly spawn here, the probability of finding Steel Sprin is quite high.

However, be aware that besides Warehouse, a few small points of interest, and the tunnels, The Blue Gate doesn't have many industrial locations. So if you only want to collect industrial materials, be careful not to go empty-handed to maximize your collection efficiency.

How To Obtain Steel Spring?

Exchange It For Seeds At Celeste

As everyone knows, seeds are a core resource in Arc Raiders, with a wide range of uses, including trading with merchants and crafting items or other upgrades.

Therefore, besides collecting Steel Spring through map exploration and quests, if you don't want to waste time and have sufficient resources, the simplest and most direct way is to directly exchange six seeds at Celeste's shop. However, note that there is a daily limit of ten exchanges!

Disassembling Industrial Items

In Arc Raiders, most of the equipment and supplies players collect are stored in their inventory. However, not all Arc Raiders items are used, inevitably leading to a lot of junk. Therefore, if you have excess industrial items, you can disassemble them into Steel Spring. Examples include:

• Cooling Coil
• Mod Components
• Advanced Mechanical Components
• Rusted Tools
• Spring Cushion
• Ruined Accordion

Note that because of the rarity of Steel Spring, while you can recycle these items outside of raids for disassembly, there's a chance you won't get Steel Spring while recycling them inside the raid. Therefore, to be on the safe side, if you have ample inventory space and no weight concerns, it's recommended to return to Speranza before proceeding.

These are common ways for players to obtain Steel Spring in Arc Raiders. If you have enough time, you can focus on the locations mentioned above where Steel Spring spawns in large quantities and collect this material by exploring the map. Of course, if you're short on time, you can also try obtaining Steel Spring by exchanging it with merchants or by dismantling items. Hope this guide is helpful!

ARC Raiders, one of the most popular shooting games recently, has garnered immense popularity since its release thanks to its thrilling combat and complex, engaging mechanics.

The game is set in post-apocalyptic Italy, where powerful ARC robots have taken over Earth's surface, forcing humanity to survive in underground cities. To survive, players take on the role of raiders, venturing to the surface to collect resources to maintain the underground cities.

Furthermore, the game incorporates PvPvE gameplay, where players face not only ARC robots but also other humans. This setting allows players to utilize different weapons and equipment in different scenarios.

Choosing the right weapon is especially crucial for new players, as it will determine whether they can survive and achieve victory. Below, we will introduce some weapons suitable for beginners, along with their detailed information, allowing you to choose to accord to your needs.

1. Ferro

• Rarity: Common
• Type: Battle Rifle
• Ammo Type: Heavy Ammo
• Magazine Size: 1
• Firing Mode: Single
• ARC Armor Penetration: Strong
• Recommended Scenarios: PvP and PvE

Ferro is one of the best weapons for beginners. Players can obtain it during their adventures or craft it using ARC Raiders material. It boasts advantages such as accurate shooting, long-range damage output, and powerful ARC Armor penetration.

Therefore, even with its relatively slow rate of fire and reload speed, it is considered one of the most recommended weapons.

Furthermore, this versatility allows Ferro to exert strong power in both PvP and PvE scenarios, effectively countering enemies.

2. Rattler

• Rarity: Common
• Type: Assault Rifle
• Ammo Type: Medium Ammo
• Magazine Size: 10
• Firing Mode: Fully-Automatic
• ARC Armor Penetration: Moderate
• Recommended Scenarios: PvP

Rattler is another excellent weapon recommended for beginners, and it pairs perfectly with Ferro. It combines damage, range, and handling, making it a well-rounded ARC Raiders Weapon. These characteristics make it perform well against ARC opponents, but it truly shines in PvP against other players.

Note that Rattler has a low magazine capacity. You'll need to monitor its remaining ammo during combat to ensure you have enough firepower to defeat enemies. You can also upgrade Rattler to increase its magazine capacity.

3. Anvil

• Rarity: Uncommon
• Type: Hand Cannon
• Ammo Type: Heavy Ammo
• Magazine Size: 6
• Firing Mode: Single-Action
• ARC Armor Penetration: Strong
• Recommended Scenarios: PvP and PvE

In our opinion, Anvil is a high-value ARC Raiders weapon. It can unleash tremendous power against ARC and other players, providing powerful suppressive fire. Furthermore, due to its relatively low rarity, novice players can easily craft it to replace their older weapons.

Additionally, in the late game, players can equip Legendary rarity accessory, Anvil Splitter. This ARC Raiders item allows Anvil to fire three bullets per shot, significantly increasing its damage output.

4. Bettina

• Rarity: Epic
• Type: Assault Rifle
• Ammo Type: Heavy Ammo
• Magazine Size: 20
• Firing Mode: Fully-Automatic
• ARC Armor Penetration: Strong
• Recommended Scenarios: PvE

For new players who have already participated in some combat, choosing Bettina is a safe bet. Its powerful ARC Armor penetration allows it to easily inflict fatal damage on ARC robots, thus eliminating them.

Bettina also has some drawbacks; combat causes its durability to drop at an alarming rate, requiring players to regularly repair it to maintain its output and reload speed.

5. Tempest

• Rarity: Epic
• Type: Assault Rifle
• Ammo Type: Medium Ammo
• Magazine Size: 25
• Firing Mode: Fully-Automatic
• ARC Armor Penetration: Moderate
• Recommended Scenarios: PvP

While Tempest is a powerful weapon, its ARC Armor penetration limits its damage output in PvE, making it more suitable for PvP scenarios.

Furthermore, its low recoil makes it easy to control, even for novice players.

6. Vulcano

• Rarity: Epic
• Type: Shotgun
• Ammo Type: Shotgun Ammo
• Magazine Size: 6
• Firing Mode: Semi-Automatic
• ARC Armor Penetration: Weak
• Recommended Scenarios: PvP

Vulcano is designed for close-quarters combat, making it ideal for clearing buildings and eliminating nearby enemies. However, its ARC Armor Penetration is weak, making it unsuitable for dealing with large ARC robots. It is recommended in PvP situations.

7. Hullcracker

• Rarity: Epic
• Type: Special
• Ammo Type: Launcher Ammo
• Magazine Size: 5
• Firing Mode: Pump-Action
• ARC Armor Penetration: Very Strong
• Recommended Scenarios: PvE

Hullcracker can deal massive damage to ARCs, especially against powerful enemies like Leapers and Bastions, demonstrating superior firepower compared to other ARC Raiders Weapons and making it easier to eliminate these robots.

It's worth noting that this special ARC Raiders weapon, which uses Launcher Ammo, is ineffective against human players. Therefore, novice players are advised to equip it with other weapons to counter other players encountered during exploration.

In ARC Raiders, having a powerful weapon is half the battle won. Novice players can try searching for these ARC Raiders items during looting to enhance their strength and provide stronger firepower.

With your strategy and powerful firepower, you can increase your chances of survival and achieve final victory in both PvP and PvE scenarios.

Have you tried EA FC 26's offline Career Mode? Were you annoyed by AI's bizarre actions? If so, then FC 26 Patch 1.1.3 update will make you happy.

This update primarily optimizes the behavior of AI opponents. FIFA 26 aims to create a more natural and realistic offline match mode. Let's take a closer look at the contents of v1.1.3.

AI Opponent Optimization

If you've played FC 26's AI mode before, you've probably felt the same way. AI ​​opponents' movements are very rigid; after a few rounds, you can completely predict their next move. AI ​​mode offers no opportunity to hone your skills.

Due to widespread player dissatisfaction with this issue, the game developers have decided to optimize AI ​​opponent behavior. Patch 1.1.3 improves the passing, dribbling, and defensive actions of AI opponents. It enhances their passing reaction speed and dribbling turn speed, increasing defensive initiative.

These changes will apply to AI opponents in all modes. This means that whether you choose Authentic or Competitive game modes, you'll need to be appropriately vigilant against more agile and unpredictable AI opponents.

This is also good news for players who enjoy honing their skills. You can choose to quickly improve your skills by playing against AI before participating in real-time matches to earn more FC 26 Coins.

Controlled Sprint Dribbling Revert

A recent Live Tuning incident resulted in a nerf to Controlled Sprint Dribbling, specifically a reduction in dribbling speed. This reduction had a significant negative impact, even making Competitive mode difficult, leading to considerable player dissatisfaction.

FC 26 has officially responded, stating that the speed of Controlled Sprint Dribbling will be reverted promptly. A notification will be released in-game immediately after the adjustment, and players only need to log back in to revert.

Future Outlook

You may have noticed that recent FC 26 updates have focused on improving the player experience, such as the new target tracking optimization in v1.1.0, game stability fixes in v1.1.1, and disconnection issues in v1.1.2.

EA Sports seems to prefer addressing player feedback through small patch updates. They've also stated they'll continue to monitor player feedback. Therefore, we can speculate that FC 26 will continue to be adjusted and improved for a smoother gaming experience.

EA FC 26's proactive approach to problem-solving is truly commendable. This recent adjustment to AI opponents was based on player feedback, clearly identifying player needs before making detailed adjustments.

This is a great sign, indicating that our suggestions are being taken seriously. Once the new AI opponents are released, you can try them out yourself and see if there are any areas for further optimization. We can definitely expect EA Sports FC 26 to become even better!
