General News

Path of Exile announced that the second week's patch for 3.27 will be released this week. In addition to fixing some bugs and improving the game, this patch adds over 80 previously unfinished Foulborn Unique items.

The official preview of PoE Patch 3.27.0c has been released, which fixes issues such as Breach, Scarabs, and other bugs, bringing numerous changes.

QoL Bug Fix

Patch PoE 3.27.0c fixes a bug that allowed players to consume PoE currency stored in their Map Device when using it on maps, including Strongboxes and Essences.

Some players are quite surprised by this, as many considered it a very convenient and beneficial feature, saving inventory space and improving map clearing efficiency, so this fix seems to be a nerf.

Boss Related

• 1. Fixed a bug where the endgame bosses' Ignite damage was too high; it is now 2–3 times the normal amount.
• 2. Incarnation of Dread can no longer be stunned while casting Fire Circle skill.

Breach Enhancements

Breach mechanics have been significantly improved. While there's no direct increase in loot, the number of monsters has increased. Here are the main changes to Breach in this patch:

• The amount of Graftblood players can obtain in level 83 Maps has increased by 25%.
• The number of monster groups spawning per wave in Breach encounters and maps has increased, with an 80% increase in level 83 Maps.
• The number of destructible Hive pack generators has increased by 40%.
• Ailith provides slightly more skill objects in Breach Hive encounters.
• Destroying a burnable Hive pack spawner releases a purple fire wave that destroys all walls within a 7.5-meter radius and may trigger a chain reaction.
• Fixed an issue where the visual effect of burns breach Hive walls did not match their actual effective range.
• A confirmation prompt will now appear if there are unsaved changes when Genesis Tree is closed.

Although many players dislike Breach mechanic, this patch significantly improves it. Destroying a burnable Hive pack spawner now burns a large area of walls and can trigger a chain reaction, making it easier for players to rush to the center and start combat with minimal deviation. This will make Hivebrain Gland maps much more juicy.

Additionally, monster spawn rates will be greatly increased, as will wombgifts and Graftblood, with a reduced Graftblood consumption. While this doesn't solve all problems, it's certainly an improvement.

Scarabs Enhancements

This patch includes numerous adjustments to scarabs:

• Scarab of Divinity: Maximum number increased from 2 to 3. The number of rare monsters affected by Pantheon-Touched in the area also increased from 2 to 3.
• Horned Scarab of Nemeses: Maximum number increased from 1 to 2.
• Torment Scarab of Possession: Maximum number of Possessions reduced from 4 to 3, and increases the chance of rare monsters in the area being possessed by up to 3 tormented spirits.
• Titanic Scarab of Legend: Now grants unique monsters in the area 4 additional modifiers (up from 2), significantly increasing their drop rate and difficulty.
• Torment Scarab: Possessed monsters have a 50% chance to be released (up from 25%).
• Allflame Ember of Propagation: Increases the number of monster groups in the area by approximately 50%.
• Legion Scarab of Eternal: Within the affected area, the rewards for defeating Legion monsters increase by 30% with each subsequent Legion monster killed.
• Abyss Scarab of Profound Depth: Monsters spawning from Abyss gain rewards based on the depth of Abyss cave from which they originate.
• Horned Scarab of Bloodlines: Now grants Magic Monsters an additional modifier in addition to its existing effects.
• Beyond Scarab of Haemophilia: Killing Beyond Rare Monsters has a 30% chance to temporarily grant their modifier, equivalent to a Headhunter. The effects of these buffs are significant.

The above scarabs have received substantial enhancements, which will spur many new farming methods. Their market value skyrocketed after the announcement. For example, Legion Scarab of Eternal, Horned Scarab of Bloodlines, and Horned Scarab of Nemeses can generate insane profits.

Impact On Builds

The bug that caused players to convert monster physical damage to elemental damage has been fixed. This bug would convert all monster physical damage into elemental damage. Players with low elemental resistance would take more damage.

Additionally, monster elemental damage affixes have been increased by up to 300%, making the penalty for adding physical damage as additional elemental damage in map affixes more severe. This bug also affects Elementalist passive skills Shaper of Flames, Pyroshock Clasp Unique Belt, and Kaom's Binding Unique Belt.

This bug had a huge impact on Elementalist builds, almost destroying them. After it was fixed, Elementalist builds. are definitely worth trying.

Overall, while the official update brought several fixes, player feedback suggests it didn't bring any revolutionary changes. They even fixed a bug that could have increased QoL (likely for game file security).

Most player complaints focus on insufficient loot drops. Although the patch increased the frequency of encounters and the number of monsters, this is essentially a multiple of zero, and ground loot drops haven't been effectively improved. However, after the patch goes live, players can try using the modified scarabs to see if they get a more significant increase in loot drops.

Due to the postponement of Compass to Carnage event, you could have freely farmed Infernal Hordes in the middle of Diablo 4 Season 10, but now you must prepare to fight until the end of the season.

To fully utilize Infernal Horde bonus from this event before Season 10 ends, you need to choose the most suitable and efficient build to complete the event. If you mainly play Druid, consider Landslide Druid Build!

While you might find this build somewhat outdated, combined with Chaos Perks, it can actually be quite effective in farming densely packed enemies like Infernal Hordes in Season 10. We'll now introduce how to craft this build.

Landslide Druid Build Overview

This build excels not only at clearing groups of enemies but is also effective against single bosses. It's relatively easy to master, even for new Druid players, and once mastered, it can help you progress through the season more steadily.

Of course, no build is perfect. This build's disadvantages lie in its relatively slow speed, requiring a longer initial setup to unleash its full power, and its high gear requirements.

However, these aren't difficult to overcome. You can buy Diablo 4 items to meet Landslide Druid Build crafting requirements and acquire additional armor with good defense or survivability enhancements, allowing you to smoothly navigate the early stages of combat.

The Main Mechanics Of This Build

To ensure this build functions effectively, you need Vasily's Prayer, which converts Druid earth skills into wolf-type skills, allowing you to benefit from the survival node or special passive skills, enabling you to continuously cast Landslide in combat.

In addition, you need to equip this gear with rare affixes and upgrade it regularly to maximize its power. Of course, if you find its Chaos Armor version, even better, you can use it in the helmet slot.

The second essential item for this build is Earthbreaker. It increases Landslide's sustained damage by increasing the ground's physical damage per second. If you place a Landslide pillar within Earth Spike's area of ​​effect, it can also duplicate it.

To further ensure continuous Landslide casting, the third gear needs to provide infinite spirit, combined with Chao Perk Overabundance to prevent resource shortages.

Finally, don't forget to add Aspect of the Aftershock to your amulet. This allows Landslide to attack twice, dealing additional damage with each attack, maximizing your DPS.

While the core of Landslide Druid build revolves around gear, it's not limited to these aspects, and other elements such as skills and seasonal powers are equally important. We'll discuss these in the following sections.

Optimal Skill Rotation

If you're a veteran Diablo 4 Druid player, you should be familiar with the basic skill configuration of this build, as it's been in the game for a long time.

Besides the core Landslide, other important skills include Grizzly Rage, Poison Creeper, Blood Howl, and more. However, what truly makes a build effective isn't just the skills themselves, but also the order and timing of their use.

You need to continuously cast Landslide while using Cataclysm to gain infinite resources. Also, don't forget to use Claw to activate Wild Transformations (Chaos Perk) to further ensure the continuity of Landslide casting.

If you encounter enemy encirclement or are low on health, remember to activate defensive skills and Cyclone Armor immediately - you can activate this by switching to humanoid form using Wild Transformations.

More importantly, activating Cataclysm or Cyclone Armor can continuously gather enemies together, maximizing DPS.

Based on this, further skill tree configurations are as follows:

• 1. First, unlock Claw at the start.
• 2. Unlock the original Landslide and Wild Impulses.
• 3. Unlock all defensive skills.
• 4. Unlock Innate Blood Howl and Debilitating Roar for damage bonuses.

Overall, Landslide Druid Build's skill rotation isn't complicated, which is why we mentioned its ease of mastery from the beginning.

More Gear Options

We've already mentioned some gear when explaining how the build works. Beyond that, you'll need to acquire more powerful items to further enhance the build and your character's overall enemy clearing capabilities.

The first recommended item is Heir of Perdition, which provides a 60% bonus to skill damage, and some affixes significantly increase DPS. It's worth noting that this item can also be replaced with Chaos version of Fists of Fate.

For the chest armor, both Shroud of False Death and Insatiable Fury are good choices, but the former is better. It grants +1 to all passive skills and all attributes, helping you reach Paragon levels.

The ring Earthbreaker's style and effects are perfectly suited to this build. It increases Landslide's level and the attack speed of Earth-type skills, since Landslide's effects are always relatively slow to materialize.

Here are some recommended gear choices for other slots:

• Boots: Dire Wolf's
• Primary Weapon: Dagger
• Amulet: Any perk that provides Willpower and Venom passive skill points

Best Chaos Powers

The essential perks we've already mentioned include Overabundance and Wild Transformations. Their attributes and specific effects are as follows:

• Overabundance - Magic - Druid: For every 50 points above your maximum Spirit, your damage increases by 10-20% for 5 seconds. This bonus stacks but does not refresh.
• Wild Transformations - Legendary - Druid: After transforming into a new form, you can use a free skill and gain an additional bonus for 5 seconds.

Since a maximum of four powers can be used per combat, the other two recommended Chaos Perks are:

• Brawn Over Brains - Unique - All Class: Provides maximum life, healing received, and Overpower damage bonus, while reducing your maximum resistances and armor damage reduction.
• Purge the Infected - Rare - Druid: Your core ability inflicts a poison effect on enemies for 4 seconds, equal to 100-200% of your base damage.

By completing Landslide Druid Build crafting based on the above, you should be able to dominate as a Druid for the remainder of Season 10, earning your character the final wave of honor and loot for the season! Give it a try!

EA FC 26's latest update patch 1.2.0 brings some changes to the game again, but it's clearly not as disruptive as patch 1.1.0. As other players have said, it's more of a placebo patch.

While this patch adjusts player AI, the current meta formations remain largely unchanged. Still, you can try some alternative setups that, despite not being mainstream, have unique strengths.

4-2-3-1 (Wide)

4-2-3-1 formation's backline consists of a goalkeeper, a left-back, two center-backs, and a right-back. In this formation, the defenders often employ man-marking tactics, with center-backs marking the strikers and fullbacks closely monitoring the wingers. Two defensive midfielders provide a defensive barrier in front of the back four.

• Build-Up Style: Short Passing (it allows players to move closer together during attacks, creating more passing options.)
• Defensive Approach: Extreme

Player Roles

• GK (Defend): Goalkeeper+
• LB (Support): Attacking Wingback++
• RB (Support): Attacking Wingback++
• LCB (Aggressive): Ball-Playing Defender
• RCB (Aggressive): Ball-Playing Defender
• LM (Roaming): Wide Playmaker++
• RM (Balanced): Inside Forward++
• LCDM (Roaming): Box Crasher++
• RCMD (Roaming): Deep-Lying Playmaker++
• CAM (Balanced): Wide Playmaker++
• ST (Attack): Advanced Forward++

You need to be especially careful with the movement of players in LM position, as their inside runs are crucial to your short passing tactics. Furthermore, the soul of this tactic is Attacking Wingback++ and Box Crasher++, which are essential for providing attacking width and late runs into the box.

If you want to control possession throughout the game, your midfielders should ideally possess Tiki Taka+ Playstyle. Forwards should ideally possess Incisive Pass+.

Player Requirements

87 OVR Claudia Pina

Claudia Pina stands out not only for her Finesse Shot and Low Driven+, but more importantly for her highly effective Tiki Taka and Incisive Pass playstyles. This makes her irreplaceable in possession-based play, and she's extremely threatening even without high race.

Tiki Taka is essential for smooth passing and movement. Without it, players take too long to control the ball and adjust, missing attacking opportunities. Of course, if you don't have 87 OVR Claudia Pina, 86 OVR Claudia Pina is also an option; she currently takes around 6000 FC 26 coins.

88 OVR Sergio Busquets

Sergio Busquets also has Tiki Taka+ and Long Ball Pass. Although he only has 3-star skills and 3 weak foot, he absolutely meets the needs of this formation.

4-4-1-1 (Midfield)

4-4-1-1 formation is a common football formation, similar in personnel to the formation above. It features four defenders, four midfielders, one attacking midfielder, and one striker. The striker is the primary scorer, while the attacking midfielder organizes attacks and supports the striker. This formation strikes a balance between the traditional 4-4-2 and a more attacking formation, balancing defensive and offensive capabilities.

In the latest patch 1.2.0, 4-4-1-1 formation has received a significant buff, becoming a very solid and effective formation suitable for Weekly Leagues, Division Rivals, and even Pro Ladder.

• Build-Up Style: Balanced
• Defensive Approach: High

Player Roles

• GK (Balanced): Sweeping Keeper+
• LB (Defend): Defender++
• RB (Defend): Defender++
• LCB (Defend): Defender++
• RCB (Defend): Defender++
• LM (Balanced): Inside Forward++
• RM (Balanced): Inside Forward++
• LCM (Balanced): Box-to-Box+
• RCM (Build-up): Deep-Lying Playmaker++
• CAM (Attack): Shadow Striker++
• ST (Attack): Advanced Forward++

If you feel your attacking organization is not going smoothly, you can change CAM from Shadow Striker to Playmaker, allowing for more deep drops and support, which will help advance the ball.

Player Requirements

Fullbacks need to be fast and have good ball control. Nuno Mendes or Marcos Llorente are good options. Center-backs also need speed and a good defensive playstyle.

Wingers need to be fast to execute through balls and create space behind the defense.

The three central midfielders are key to the formation. The attacking midfielder and two central midfielders should ideally have Tiki Taka+ and Incisive Pass+ playstyles. This ensures accurate one-touch passing and the ability to deliver lethal through balls.

Forwards should also have Tiki Taka+ or Incisive Pass+, crucial for linking up attacks. You can also use Claudia Pina. As for the goalkeeper, you can assign him based on the players you have.

How To Attack?

During the attacking build-up phase, the primary goal is to find your CAM. Use him to pass the ball to CAM to break the opponent's midfield lines.

Press L1/LB to direct teammates to run in behind, which stretches the opponent's defensive line and creates time and space for the ball carrier.

While pressing L1/LB, gently push the right stick towards the specific route you want your teammate to run. This is an advanced technique that manually creates passing opportunities.

When forward passing lanes are blocked, pass the ball back to a midfielder or defender. Use this pass to push the entire formation forward, while giving yourself more time to observe and make decisions. Finally, utilize the speed of your wingers to create scoring opportunities by playing through balls behind the opponent's flanks.

How To Defend?

Your four defenders form a strong defensive line. You only need to keep the formation compact and cover the middle. It's better to let the opponent run down the flanks than to allow them to easily break through the middle.

You can also manually pull your attacking midfielder back, effectively turning the formation into a 4-5-1, creating a numerical advantage in the middle. Executing an offside trap by pressing the up arrow twice will push the entire defensive line forward, further compressing the opponent's attacking space.

While these formations are not mainstream, they both offer considerable strength. Moreover, once you've mastered it, it can actually make your attacks more difficult for your opponents to handle when they're unfamiliar with your formation.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 brings back Campaign, Multiplayer, and Zombies, along with returning and new exclusive modes. Zombies modes not only introduce the largest map in the series' history, Ashes of the Damned, but also add four brand-new modes and gameplay, each offering different rewards and experiences, from tense and exciting waves of enemies to a more relaxed narrative experience.

Although the developers have revealed that some modes will be added some time after the release of Black Ops 7, this hasn't dampened the players' enthusiasm. Below, we'll provide a detailed introduction to the new Zombies map and the gameplay of each mode.

Ashes of the Damned

First, Ashes of the Damned in CoD Black Ops 7 is one of the largest traditional Zombies maps in the series to date, featuring six distinct locations connected by a network of roads. Players can also drive an upgradable vehicle to lead their squad across the map.

Ol' Tessie

Ashes of the Damned is a spiritual successor to Tranzit Zombies map in Black Ops 2, which also spans multiple locations. However, unlike Tranzit, the primary mode of transportation in Ashes of the Damned is a pickup truck, affectionately known as Ol' Tessie by players.

More importantly, unlike the drivable bus in Tranzit, the Ol' Tessie is drivable and upgradable. Of course, it can also be damaged if you're not careful. Ol' Tessie's main purpose is to help you traverse the deadly The Fog, getting from one point of interest to another.

Of course, you can also choose to enter The Fog on foot, but without the pickup truck's support, you'll likely be swallowed by danger in a very short time.

Frankly, Tranzit's vehicle concept has always been popular in CoD: Black Ops series because it creates a sense of tension between destinations. And the game hasn't had such an interesting feature in a long time.

In CoD: Black Ops 7, trucks are an essential part of running Ashes of the Damned map, but they're not just for transportation. Upgrades are scattered throughout the map, including Mounted Turret and Pack-a-Punch machine. Pack-a-Punch machine is located on the truck and provides a buff to Ol' Tessie.

Most upgrades in the game are done in a garage in Ashwood, one of the main points of interest on the map. This location also serves as a hub. If your team abandons Ol' Tessie for some reason, it can be recalled to the garage.

6 Major Points of Interest

Ashes of the Damned comprises six major points of interest, all connected by The Fog mentioned earlier:

• Janus Towers Plaza
• Vandorn Farm
• Blackwater Lake
• Ashwood
• Exit 115
• Zarya Cosmodrome

According to the developers, because the story of Ashes of the Damned takes place in Dark Aether - a mysterious parallel universe or something similar - they could select locations from different periods and regions to create a richly detailed world map.

Ashwood, located at the center of the map, dates back to the 1850s, while Exit 115 is reminiscent of Diner from Tranzit. Although each area has its own history, unique story, and atmosphere, they are all thematically linked to core story elements that will run throughout the season and advance as the plot unfolds.

Zombies Modes

In addition, Black Ops 7 features four Zombies modes:

• Standard
• Directed
• Survival
• Cursed

However, like previous maps, these modes will not be available on launch day. This allows players who enjoy puzzle-solving and unraveling mysteries to enjoy the game without spoilers.

Standard Mode

This is the familiar and beloved zombie mode where you'll fight wave after wave of enemies in turn-based combat in Ashes of the Damned, continuing the story of Dark Aether.

Besides the major story and side quests, Standard Mode includes all Zombies Easter eggs you'll expect. This mode is recommended for experienced players because, unlike some other modes, you'll need to find clues and discover Easter eggs yourself; there are no hints.

Most importantly, this mode will be available at BO7's launch, which is why it's the preferred choice for most players.

Directed Mode

For those who love zombie games but rarely have time to explore all the hidden objectives, Directed Mode is definitely for you. This mode guides players through the story of Ashes of the Damned.

First appearing in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, this mode provides guidance and on-screen hints for the main quest, leading players step-by-step through missions and finding Easter eggs. If you want to reduce the time spent fighting zombies or searching for clues and focus more on exploration, then Directed Mode is the best choice, aside from choosing to buy CoD Black Ops 7 Bot Lobbies. However, it's important to note that this mode disables side quests to focus on the story.

Furthermore, this mode has a turn limit, so zombie hordes won't be too dense, making Directed Mode essentially a more relaxed zombie experience. However, this mode won't be available at launch but will probably be added in an update later this year.

Survival Mode

If you don't care about the story at all and just want to experience the thrill of killing zombies, then the returning Survival Mode is the perfect choice.

The core of this mode is survival. You and your teammates will fight wave after wave of enemies within a small area of ​​Ashes of the Damned map.

There is no story, main campaign, or missions; your sole objective is to do everything in your power to survive the escalating onslaught of undead enemies. Survival Mode will launch simultaneously with the game, with more maps potentially added in future updates.

Cursed Mode

In addition to the three modes mentioned above, Black Ops 7 also introduces Cursed Mode, an extremely challenging mode that reintroduces some traditional zombie game mechanics, such as limited equipment options.

The developers also revealed that Cursed Mode will restore the previous scoring system, allowing players to maximize their score by killing zombies in specific ways.

Furthermore, Cursed Mode includes new side missions. Completing these missions unlocks relics, further adjusting the game's difficulty.

This mode will not be available immediately at launch, but will be unlocked for all players once someone completes the first primary mission.

Therefore, while Directed and Survival modes are designed to attract more fans and offer a more casual or brutal gaming experience, Cursed mode is the opposite; it aims to provide a completely new gaming experience for loyal players who find the standard mode lacking in challenge.

In any case, the new and returning modes, along with the improved Augment system, make this the most feature-rich Zombies mode we've ever seen. Black Ops 7 will be released on November 14th. We look forward to seeing you in the game!

While FIFA boasts a vast inventory of player cards based on real-world players, if these cards remained unchanged, you'd eventually lose interest, especially since the players' real-world performance is constantly evolving.

Therefore, from the inception of the evolution mechanism to the current FC 26, the development team has consistently strived to provide players with more opportunities to improve their attributes through this system.

This time, we'll introduce FUT 26 Wing Wizards Evolution. How does this evolution work, and which players should take advantage of this upgrade opportunity? We'll explain.

Evolution Mechanism Overview

This mechanism allows you to permanently upgrade players who meet the evolution requirements by completing specific challenges or objectives. These players typically have a low to medium OVR, and their positions vary depending on the evolution event.

As a mechanism inherited from previous versions of the game, evolution events are the core of building and strengthening your team in FUT 26, giving you the opportunity to customize and improve weaker players, increasing your win rate without acquiring new players.

Wing Wizards Evolution Schedule

This evolution event will run for 21 days, has started on November 9th, 2025. This ample duration means you'll have plenty of time to carefully select players without interfering with other FC 26 events.

How Does This Event Work?

Wing Wizards Evolution belongs to Ultimate Team mode and aims to provide opportunities to improve your low-rated wingers. PlayStyles, base attributes, and OVR can all be improved, so don't miss out!

To unlock this evolution, you need 20,000 FC 26 coins. If you don't have enough, you can consume 300 FC points. To participate, the player must be a right winger and meet the following conditions:

• OVR cannot exceed 79
• PlayStyles maximum 10
• Cannot be a World Tour Silver Superstars Icon player

Based on this, player evolutions are generally divided into two types. One type is the evolution at various levels obtained through leveling up after unlocking, and the other type requires you to complete relevant challenges with that player.

Level 1 upgrades:

• RW Inside Forward++
• Reactions +6 (Max 89)
• Shooting +7 (Max 85)
• Agility +10 (Max 88)

Level 2 upgrades:

• Reactions +6 (Max 89)
• Passing +10 (Max 86)
• Stamina +10 (Max 90)
• Balance +10 (Max 87)
• Dribbling +10 (Max 86)

Level 3 upgrades:

• Skill moves +2 star
• Weak Foot +1 star
• RW Winger+
• Press Proven PlayStyle
• Quickstep PlayStyle

Level 4 upgrades:

• RW Wide Playmaker+
• Tiki Taka PlayStyle
• Pace +10 (Max 90)
• Composure +10 (Max 87)
• Ball control +10 (Max 86)

All challenge requirements are as follows:

• Challenge 1: Win two matches in Squad Battles/Rush/Rivals/Champions/Live Events on minimum Semi Pro difficulty using your active player.
• Challenge 2: Play three matches in Squad Battles/Rush/Rivals/Champions/Live Events on minimum Semi Pro difficulty using your active player.
• Challenge 3: Play three matches in Squad Battles/Rush/Rivals/Champions/Live Events on minimum Semi Pro difficulty using your active player.
• Challenge 4: Win three matches in Squad Battles/Rush/Rivals/Champions/Live Events on minimum Semi Pro difficulty using your active player.

Which Players Should You Choose For This Evolution?

The first player we recommend is Adama Traoré. His strength lies in his high speed, with a rating of 96 and a current OVR of 76, meeting the requirements for Wing Wizards Evolution.

You can expect to redeem about four attribute boosts for him, such as two quick steps, basic pressure, and weak foot, and possibly even a five-star skill. Whether you can acquire a new PlayStyle depends on how many you already have (maximum 5).

Nevertheless, these attribute boosts are enough to make Adama a more valuable asset in FC 26 future matches. He will increase the team's scoring chances with his increased speed and attacking power.

Daizen Maeda's OVR is 79, just barely passing. His base attributes are also heavily reliant on speed, with other aspects like dribbling, shooting, and physical attributes also performing well.

If you evolve him, he should have the potential to become a new all-rounder, capable of handling different situations well and stabilizing your team's performance.

However, this player is unique in that previous evolution events also suited him well. So, if you've already evolved Daizen, you can choose OVR 76 Daniel James or other similar players as a replacement.

While Francisco Conceição's shooting ability is slightly lacking, he's still worth evolving considering his overall performance. Donyell Malen is also a good choice; his playing style is very solid, and he will become even more reliable after evolution.

As for Diogo Martins, his goals are spectacular, and his OVR is projected to reach 86 after evolution. While this isn't an exceptionally high number, it's quite good for the player's existing overall abilities. If you already have him, don't hesitate to upgrade him.

More player options and their OVR as follows:

• Maximilian Beier: 79
• Brennan Johnson: 79
• Amad Diallo: 79
• Ismaila Sarr: 79
• Estevao: 78
• Kuhn: 78
• Geny Catamo: 78
• Elena Julve: 78
• Yankuba Minteh: 77
• Endrick: 77
• Franco Mastantuono: 77

While the overall evolution potential of Wing Wizards Evolution is expected to be difficult to realize in the future, it's at least helpful for players who excel at curved shots and are suited for the later stages of the season.

Special Strategies

Besides choosing different players to evolve, you can also choose an evolution chain strategy. This strategy allows you to apply multiple evolutions to the same player to maximize their attributes and OVR.

However, considering that almost every evolution requires a certain OVR, this strategy requires you to find potential players and plan carefully from the very first season of the game. Therefore, it's more suitable for experienced players with sufficient patience.

That concludes this introduction. If you have a suitable winger in your card pool and enough points or coins, get started!

While Monopoly Go hasn't launched any major events lasting more than three days this week, you should still pay attention to the daily events, as their rewards are fundamental to successfully progressing through the game.

This time, we'll introduce the new single-player event, Fall-Time Trek. Its milestone rewards not only bring you the usual rewards like dice and cash, but also pickaxe tokens to help you advance your Forest Treasures progress.

Fall-Time Trek Schedule

The event started at 1:00 AM ET on November 12, 2025, and will continue until the same time on the 14th, meaning you have 48 hours to participate. If you complete all the milestones, the main rewards will include:

• 20,175 Free Dice Rolls in total
• 199 Pickaxe Tokens in total
• 3 Pink Sticker Packs at the 26th Milestone
• 15-Minute Builder's Bash at the 18th Milestone
• 15-Minute Color Wheel Boost at the 44th Milestone
• 40-Minute Mega Heist at the 50th Milestone
• 15-Minute Cash Grab Boost at the 57th Milestone

Monopoly Go is expected to hold two tournaments during this period. While these tournaments offer fewer events and milestone rewards, they will still be helpful for your gameplay, so don't forget to participate!

How To Complete This Event?

Generally, the way to earn tournament points is by playing mini-games on the railroad tiles. The point reward is determined by the game's outcome. However, the method of earning points will vary depending on the banner event.

During this Fall-Time Trek, you will earn 4 points each time you land on one of the four corner tiles while moving across the board.

Compared to other single-player event scoring mechanisms, corner tiles are distributed systematically on the board, making it easier to increase scoring efficiency by increasing dice multipliers.

Alternatively, if you have enough dice, you can also increase the multiplier when railroad tiles appear in clusters. This can help you earn points in the current tournament, provided you play the triggered Shutdown and Bank Heist mini-games.

All Fall-Time Trek Rewards

In Monopoly Go banner events, the level of milestone rewards is not entirely proportional to the corresponding number of points, so sometimes you may prioritize obtaining some higher-level rewards.

To help you plan your rewards earning strategy as needed, we have listed all Fall-Time Trek rewards and related information below:

That concludes our overview. This event has just begun, so it's still entirely possible to earn all the rewards by starting now. Act quickly!

ARC Raiders has surpassed Battlefield 6 and Elden Ring Nightreign to become the most-played game on Steam. Its shooting mechanics and gameplay are quite impressive, making it one of the best extraction shooter games currently available.

Compared to other extraction shooter games, ARC Raiders incorporates an Expedition system as the game's endgame mode, allowing players to continuously progress. Some players dislike this system because it essentially means starting from scratch. However, in reality, if you've already gained experience leveling up once, leveling up again will only be faster.

What Is Expedition?

It's a periodic account reset mechanism, with a window approximately every 8 weeks. Players who meet the requirements can choose to reset their accounts, while those who haven't must wait for the next window. This is not mandatory; players can choose whether to participate.

Expedition resets most of the content, but also retains some each time, preventing you from starting completely from the beginning.

Reset Contents:

• Stash Upgrade Progress
• Inventory Items
• Blueprints
• Coins
• Player Level
• Skill Points
• Raider Den
• Workshop
• Quests

Retained Contents:

• Unlocked Maps
• Unlocked Workshop Stations (level 1)
• Codex Entries
• Raider Tokens
• Cred
• Raider Decks Progress
• Active Leaderboards
• Trials
• Cosmetics
• Personal Event Progress

Core Expedition Rewards

When Expedition window is open, the total value of the items in your stash will determine the bonus skill points you can earn, up to a maximum of 5 points, and will also permanently increase your stash space.

Note that these rewards are cumulative, so each time you restart by Expedition, the bonus skill points and stash space earned from the previous Expedition will carry over to the next, allowing you to eventually unlock the next Expedition with full skill points.

Additionally, after resetting, you'll receive higher experience gain, extra items, faster weapon repair speed, and exclusive cosmetics, among other rewards.

It's recommended that you collect as many high-value ARC Raiders items as possible and store them in your stash during the 7-day selection period when Expedition window opens, so you can obtain the maximum of 5 extra skill points upon resetting.

Skill Tree Settings

Whether you're a new player or resetting your progress, don't randomly select your perks. Since perks directly impact your loot each match, it's recommended to prioritize or avoid certain perks:

Recommended Perks

Security Breach (Survival Tree)

Security Breach unlocks Security Lockers on the map. These lockers offer the best loot in the current version, have multiple spawn points, and are not affected by day/night cycles, making it one of the best perks to pick.

Broad Shoulders And Loaded Arms (Conditioning Tree)

Broad Shoulders (Survival Tree) increases your total carry weight, while Loaded Arms (Conditioning Tree) reduces weapon weight. Combining the two greatly increases the amount of items you can carry per match.

Stubborn Mule (Survival Tree)

Stubborn Mule reduces the impact of Overweight on stamina regeneration. Combined with the perks above, it's very effective.

Looter's Instincts And Looter's Luck

These two perks come from Survival Tree. They significantly increase your looting speed and have a chance to find two items at once, allowing you to quickly acquire loot in dangerous areas and reduce the risk of being ambushed.

Fight Or Flight/Survivor's Stamina/Unburdened Roll/Suffer In Silence

Although these skills come from different skill trees, when combined, they provide a free roll, stamina recovery, noise reduction, and a short-term stamina-free sprint when you take damage or your shield breaks, greatly enhancing your survivability.

Not Recommended Skills

Traveling Tinkerer (Survival Tree)

It allows you to create Catch Keys and traps in a session, but it's almost never used and are simply a waste of skill points.

Silent Scavenger And Gentle Pressure

The effects of these two perks are not noticeable; other players can still hear them.

How To Quickly Max Out Scrappy?

Upgrading Scrappy to level 5 provides more materials, but searching for fruits and vegetables is very time-consuming.

Trinkets Locations

• Very Comfortable Pillow, Cat Bed, and Dog Collar.

The best place to find them is Village area on Bluegate map. You can search inside houses and usually find them all within 3-4 games. Alternative locations are the apartments and the area around town on Dam Battlegrounds.

Fruits Acquisition

• Lemon, Olives, Mushroom, etc.

The best place to get fruits is only recommended during Lush Blooms event on Spaceport map. You can go to the huts and shacks near Communications Tower.

Your goal is to find baskets. Finding just 3-4 baskets will give you all the fruits needed to upgrade Scrappy.

Recommended Loadout Equipment

Backpack Selection

In the early game, choose Looting MK1 for the highest initial carrying capacity. And in the mid-game, you have two options: continue using Light Shield and choose a backpack that provides more carrying capacity, or transition to the Tactical Mk. 2 backpack to equip a Medium Shield.

The best choice for the endgame is Looting Mk3 (SURVIVOR), which provides 80 carrying capacity, allows the use of a Medium Shield, and adds an extra utility slot.

Shield Selection

Medium Shield is the best choice throughout the game. Compared to Light Shield, it provides approximately 12% more effective health while only incurring a 5% movement speed penalty. Heavy Shield is not recommended because it only provides about 9% more effective health than Medium Shield, while incurring a 15% movement speed penalty, and the crafting materials required are high, making it inefficient.

If you're playing solo, I highly recommend finding and crafting a lot of Jolt Mine blueprints. They can help prevent ambushes or set up guards when looting or attacking large ARCs.

Best Weapons Selection

Early Game

For melee weapons, choose either Stitcher or Kettle. Kettle has a high rate of fire but requires rapid clicking, while Stitcher is more stable and becomes very powerful later when paired with Kinetic Converter Mod. For ranged weapons, you can use Ferro, which uses heavy ammo and is excellent against ARC units.

Mid Game

Ferro can be replaced with Anvil in mid-game, which is superior to Ferro in many ways. For melee weapons, choose Venator pistol, which uses medium ammo and is currently the strongest close-range weapon.

Endgame Choices

• Bobcat: An excellent close-range submachine gun, especially suitable for hip fire.
• Tempest: A very versatile weapon, suitable for mid-to-long range.

How To Get XP?

Completing the main storyline unlocks the blueprints for Hullcracker and its ammunition, allowing you to mass-produce this weapon specifically designed to counter large ARCs. You can then use Hullcracker or Wolfpack Grenade to quickly eliminate large ARC units.

Destroying a large ARC grants a significant amount of experience, and dismantling each part of its wreckage grants an additional 500 XP, making the experience gain quite substantial.

If you can't efficiently farm ARCs, focus on survival and looting. Stay in the lobby for as long as possible, loot everything you can, and successfully extract. Even if it has already been looted, interacting with it will grant search experience. A successful match can earn you 20,000-30,000 XP.

This concludes the general overview of Expedition and solo leveling. Hopefully, it helps you progress more efficiently in the game.

While combat is always exciting and fun, completing battles in ARC Raiders isn't the goal; it's a means to earn more items. Some items are usable weapons or medicines, while others are materials that can be crafted into higher-level items.

More importantly, compared to other games in the same genre, the crafting system is particularly crucial in ARC Raiders because a significant proportion of usable items need to be crafted.

To fully utilize this system, you not only need to collect a sufficient number of ARC Raiders items and upgrade your workshops regularly, but you also need farm blueprints - think of them as crafting recipes.

Next, we'll introduce you to everything about ARC Raiders blueprints.

What Are ARC Raiders Blueprints?

In the game, blueprints are themselves items that can be used as crafting recipes to craft other items in your workshop, such as weapons or attachments. Some blueprints can also upgrade existing gear, making them more powerful than before.

After obtaining a blueprint, you cannot use it directly in the workshop. You must first extract it, then find it in your inventory and click Learn and Consume option to permanently unlock the corresponding recipe.

If you obtain duplicate blueprints while farming, you can sell them through the trading system for usable currency, preventing them from wasting your inventory space.

How To Obtain Blueprints?

Actually, as long as you leave your base in Speranza and go to the surface to raid and search for loot, you have a chance of obtaining blueprints through enemy drops or by looting chests and containers.

The key is that different areas, containers, and enemy types will yield different quantities and levels of blueprints. Therefore, to maximize your farming efficiency, you need to selectively seek out farming methods.

Which Containers Should You Loot?

Containers are actually a general term for all the special "spaces" such as chests/cabinets/backpacks on the map that hide loot. Different containers provide different quantities and types of loot. Containers that may typically contain blueprints include:

• Key Locked Rooms
• Breaching Rooms
• Zipline Rooms
• High-Value Zones
• Raider Caches
• Weapon Crates
• Backpacks & Duffel Bags
• Raider Storage Containers

Raider Storage Containers come in many varieties, but they usually have fixed spawn points on each map. Therefore, you can find them more easily once you are familiar with the map's terrain.

It's important to note that high-value zones have a higher chance of containing blueprints compared to other room-type containers, but the danger is also increased. So, don't farm in this type of zone until you are strong enough.

Completing Game Missions

Besides freely exploring with friends, the game offers various main and side quests. Completing the missions themselves, as well as completing a certain number of missions to fill in the relevant progress, will reward you with blueprints.

More importantly, some of these blueprints can only be obtained by completing missions, making this an indispensable part of this farming guide.

It's worth noting that blueprints are also included in the game's weekly trial rewards, so don't forget about them while completing daily explorations and main quests.

Best Blueprint Farming Maps

Of all the maps, Buried City is the best for farming blueprints because it has a high number of crates and weapon crate spawn points, especially in the various houses and apartments in the southern area.

However, to fully explore the entire map and avoid some traps, it's recommended to start exploring from the northwest corner of the map. Although it's remote, the probability of finding rare blueprints is not low, and you can head south from there.

Before heading south, don't forget to circle around the northern part of the map to find all the apartments and shops, and find all the usable crates or special loot spawn points inside.

If you find any buildings in this area that are dangerous and difficult to infiltrate, you can use ziplines to jump in from the back of the building.

Another good map is Dam Battleground. There are many rooms to explore and loot, and more importantly, compared to other maps, the probability of encountering PvE ARC robots in Dam Battleground is relatively low, making it safer.

If you don't have time to explore the entire Dam Battleground, we recommend prioritizing the destroyed highway in the northeast corner of the map and the unlockable walkway, as these locations hide loot spawn points.

Finally, we recommend Blue Gate map. Its advantage is that various loot containers are widely distributed across the areas, making them easy to find; its disadvantage is the large number of both PvE and PvP enemies.

Therefore, we suggest entering Blue Gate only in a multiplayer team with sufficiently good gear. Otherwise, you're likely to be surrounded and quickly defeated, and other players may steal your loot.

Enemies That Drop Blueprints

Currently, there are over a dozen types of PvE enemies in ARC Raiders, but only ARC Surveyor directly drops blueprints. They appear randomly across various maps. If you see a conspicuous blue laser in the air, it means Surveyor is approaching.

The best way to deal with these enemies is to aim and shoot immediately when they fire their lasers, as they will remove their armor at this time, making them more vulnerable.

After dealing a certain amount of damage to Surveyor, it gains a speed boost and begins its retreat. To counter this mechanic, in addition to high-powered weapons, you'll need gear that increases movement speed or stuns enemies.

Special Tips

While making full use of the farming methods mentioned above, don't forget to acquire enough Survival skill points to unlock Security Breach skill, as it increases the drop rate of rare loot, including blueprints.

If you found this helpful, follow these guidelines to accelerate your blueprint farming journey in ARC Raiders, promoting character leveling and resource accumulation. Good luck!

Besides farming through gameplay, buying blueprints directly from the store is also a great option, and faster! For this purpose, trusted ARC Raiders products store IGGM offers a related and secure service, allowing you to shop with confidence!

Upon entering a new PoE league, to quickly farm sufficient resources, you'll need to learn new content and adapt to updates to existing mechanics, especially if these updates enhance your combat power.

Take the recent Keepers league as an example. This league introduced a new crafting system called Genesis Tree, which, once unlocked, grants various bonuses, one of which is granting Foulborn Uniques.

Returning to our initial point - Foulborn Uniques aren't a completely new mechanic. Instead, they utilize Genesis Tree to replace the original modifiers of your existing Uniques with new and potentially more powerful ones.

As you know, enhanced affixes mean a more powerful piece of gear, and the changes brought by "Foulborn" mean you can utilize the gear to create more build crafting possibilities.

Next, we'll explain the workings of Foulborn Uniques in 3.27 league, as well as Uniques and their affix effects that significantly impact the meta game.

Overview Of Foulborn Unique Items

First, not all unique items have a chance to unlock a Foulborn variant; this mechanism only exists in certain gear. Once the variant is unlocked, the corresponding gear's name will be marked with a purple "Foulborn" prefix.

Aside from the affix replacement, Foulborn Uniques are no different from other unique items. Items with Foulborn variants typically have about 2-4 affixes that can be replaced.

To obtain Foulborn unique items in 3.27 league, the following methods are possible:

• Add Ancient Wombgift to Genesis Tree, which increases the chance of obtaining Foulborn affix by affecting the type of item generated.
• Obtain Grasping Coffer chest in Hive Fortress or Hive Colony.
• Defeating It That Was Esh in Hive Colony as a drop.

Which Foulborn Uniques Have Significant Impacts On The Meta Game?

While there is just a part of gear with Foulborn variants, not all of them have equally powerful effects. Some effects only improve the experience of certain parts of the battle, while others can impact the entire league's mechanics.

Midnight Bargain

Of the two Foulborn variants of this item, the one that increases the maximum number of Golems summoned by +2 is more important, as this effect works exceptionally well when combined with The Dark Monarch.

The Dark Monarch randomly generates some summon types, including Golems. While you cannot summon other types of summons during this time, combining it with Foulborn variant of Midnight Bargain expands the maximum number of Golems available.

Undoubtedly, this is a very useful effect for summoner classes and builds, but its effectiveness depends on overcoming its health and energy shield loss drawbacks.

Because this Foulborn unique works by causing you to lose a certain percentage of health per second, you will die once this percentage accumulates to a sufficient level. Therefore, you must ensure you have a way to continuously regenerate health.

Generally, methods that can help you do this include equipping skill gems with regeneration effects or unlocking Eternal Youth keystone passive skill. There are many options; once you find one, you can use Midnight Bargain without hesitation.

Warped Timepiece

This Foulborn unique item has only one alternative affix, which increases the rate at which debuffs on you disappear by 100%. The best way to maximize this affix's effect is to combine it with Beacon of Madness boots.

These boots grant you the level 1 Embrace Madness skill, which is beneficial, but it constantly applies debuffs, once every two seconds in 3.27 league. This means that every two seconds you will be randomly affected by one of four debuffs.

These debuffs might reduce movement speed, increase damage taken, or reduce regeneration speed - all generally bad, and each lasts for 20 seconds.

However, Warped Timepiece solves this problem. Its Foulborn affix reduces the chance of Beacon of Madness debuff reappearing, preventing it from stacking and eliminating most of the negative effects, allowing you to focus on enjoying the boots' benefits.

The Oppressor

This Foulborn unique shield has two affix effects. While their specific functions differ, both provide damage reduction, enhancing your defense and survivability.

The original affixes were designed with the same principle in mind, but combining them actually weakened the overall effect of the shield. Therefore, the game addressed this through Foulborn mechanic.

Now, The Oppressor's two Foulborn variants offer a 10-15% chance to completely avoid all damage and a 20-30% chance to block spell damage.

This makes the spell suppression chance provided by this shield even stronger than the highest-tier affix of a normal rare shield. Combined with a similarly high attack block chance, it will make your character extremely resilient in the current league.

Kiloava's Bluster

This is another excellent shield-type shield we'll discuss. Previously, one of its affix effects gave you a 30-40% chance of having your elemental resistance treated as 90% when attacked by enemies. The problem with this affix is ​​that if it fails to trigger, it's completely useless.

Now, in 3.27 league, Foulborn affix in Kiloava's Bluster can replace the old affix with a more aggressive one, giving you a 25% chance to reverse monster elemental resistances.

This means that when you attack a single enemy, there's a 25% chance their elemental resistances will be treated as reduced by 50%. In simpler terms, three out of four times you'll deal half damage, but once you'll deal triple damage, resulting in a 50% increase in total damage.

Combined with other bonuses provided by Kiloava's Bluster, such as considerable dodge and block chances, it will help you progress through league faster by dealing more damage.

That's all for this time. In fact, there are many more powerful Foulborn Uniques available in the game, and more will be added after 3.27.0c Patch this week! Stay tuned!

CoD Black Ops 7 is now available for preloading, currently at 203 GB. As you know, this series of games is always very large, so it's best to allocate plenty of hard drive space beforehand.

A new mode called Endgame has also been announced. This is a multiplayer co-op campaign, but in the preload file, it's called Worlds Collide, not the officially advertised Endgame. Let's take a look at how this mode works.

Endgame Mode Gameplay

According to official developer interviews and blog posts, Endgame Mode unlocks after completing 11 missions in the main campaign. The core stage of this mode is a massive open-world map called Avalon.

This mode supports up to 32 players simultaneously in an Avalon instance, either solo or in a party of up to 4. Furthermore, even if some teammates haven't unlocked Endgame Mode, a player who has can act as the party leader and bring them along.

Players can choose from the main hero of the campaign or a brand-new operator to enter this mode. Currently, there are 24 operators to choose from, each with independent growth and progression. The ultimate goal is to reach Zone 4, the most difficult zone.

Avalon

Players will parachute into Avalon using a wingsuit. POIs will be dynamically generated on the map, which players can mark and travel to directly without opening the large map.

Avalon is divided into four difficulty zones, from easy to hard. Each zone has a recommended combat level. It also includes many classic landmarks from the multiplayer and Zombies modes of previous Black Ops games, such as Raid and Hazard, some of which are replicas, while others have been redesigned to some extent as inspiration.

• Zone 1: Recommended combat level 0. Includes landmarks such as Cliff Town and Water Treatment.
• Zone 2: Recommended combat level 10. Includes landmarks such as Excavation Site and Heliport.
• Zone 3: Recommended combat level 30. Includes landmarks such as Winery and Casino.
• Zone 4: Recommended combat level 45. Includes landmarks such as Firing Range and Fort.

Missions And Extractions

Endgame missions include eliminating enemy strongholds, completing assignments, exploration and collection, and extraction. Additionally, there are contaminated zones on the map where toxins are leaking, with mission lines revolving around cleanup, investigation, and extraction.

During matches, completing specific activities will earn rewards such as Self-Revive Kits and C4; however, these items can only be used in the current game.

Once you successfully complete a mission, you must proceed to the extraction point, clear the area, hold it, wait for VTOL to land, and then successfully extract. All items and equipment you acquire will be saved as part of your progress.

If you die or fail to extract successfully in a given game, you will lose all uncollected loot and progress, including weapons and equipment. Only a successful extraction will carry over your acquired weapons, equipment, and experience points to the next game.

While this sounds somewhat like the currently popular multiplayer cooperative extraction games, this mode is entirely PvE; there is no direct combat between you and other players, but cooperation is possible.

Operators And Combat Rating

Before each Endgame deployment, players select an Operator slot, each slot representing a character's combat journey. They can then choose a Major Ability and a Minor Ability, which determine their playstyle and preferences in Endgame.

Players increase their Combat Rating by defeating enemies and completing objectives in this mode. Combat Rating permanently increases your character's base attributes, including Health, Armor, Movement Speed, and Damage. There is a maximum Combat Rating of 60.

Major Abilities

Major Abilities are powerful tactical skills with longer cooldowns:

• Ballistic Shell: Creates an energy shield to block enemy fire.
• Active Camo: Grants temporary invisibility. Gunshots are disabled.
• Hand Cannon: A powerful, high-damage pistol with long-range accuracy.
• Crash Cart: Instantly revives downed teammates and yourself within range, providing brief invulnerability.
• Vision Pulse: Marks enemies through walls; marked enemies take increased damage.
• War Machine: A single-shot grenade launcher with a very high blast radius and damage.
• Shadow Break: Creates a field that can teleport and damage enemies.
• Drone Pod: A deployed aerial drone that searches for and explodes upon encountering enemies.

Minor Abilities

Minor Abilities are more flexible, utility-based skills with shorter cooldowns:

• Grappling Hook: Grabs onto surfaces to escape; can also be used for climbing.
• Portal Grenade: A grenade that creates an illusion and locks onto enemies; its duration is short.
• Kinetic Jump: Greatly increases jump height; holding down allows for an even higher jump. Stuns nearby enemies upon landing.
• Flicker: Quickly teleports a short distance in the direction you are facing; can also pass through enemies.
• Supply Link: Provides you and your squad with ammunition, armor, equipment, and a portion of your Major Ability charges.
• Black Hat: Infiltrates a target and disables them, destroys enemy vehicles, or makes them fight for you.

Skill Tracks

Skill Tracks are similar to a talent tree. As your combat level increases, you can choose one of two random skills to enhance your character each level. These skills are divided into different tracks, such as:

• Gunner: Improves weapon handling, reload speed, and aiming accuracy.
• Surgeon: Restores health and heals teammates.
• Daredevil: Focuses on mobility and melee combat.
• Tactician: Acquires more equipment and ammunition.
• Berserker: Higher movement speed and damage.
• Bulldozer: Has a large amount of armor, providing damage resistance.

Weapon And Loot System

Weapons in this mode have a color-coded quality system; the higher the quality, the higher the damage. You can find Workbenches on the map to upgrade the quality of acquired weapons. Additionally, this mode includes Exotic Weapons, which are the highest quality weapons.

Furthermore, the developers have introduced a complete weapon camouflage unlocking system in the campaign mode for the first time. Currently, 16 unique military camouflages, special camouflages, and mastery camouflages are available. Daily and weekly challenges are available in all modes, including co-op, allowing players to gain new objectives, experience rewards, and progress daily.

The above is a general overview of Black Ops 7 Endgame mode. Based on the UI, a complete Endgame match is estimated to last between 45 minutes and 1 hour. Regardless, this new mode is a worthwhile experiment, and a more refined PvPvE extraction shooting mode may be released in the future.
