It might be a relaxing Thanksgiving weekend in Destiny 2, but Xur isn’t taking a break. Everyone’s favorite Agent of the Nine has touched down, and as usual he has a new selection of sought-after weapons and rare armor sets for sale. Here’s where you can find Xur and what Exotics he’s selling this week.

This week you can find Xur in the Tower, in the Hangar area. For his weapon, Xur is offering the Wardcliff Coil rocket launcher. Hunters can pick up the Celestial Nighthawk helmet, Titans can grab the One-Eyed Mask helmet , and for Warlocks, Xur has the Apotheosis Veil helmet.

Spawn in using the Courtyard transmat zone in the Tower to find Xur this week. Head left and down the stairs to enter the Hangar section, then hang another left. Make your way to the north end of the area and look for a staircase that will take you onto a catwalk, where Xur is waiting.

Xur is present every weekend in Destiny 2, starting with the daily reset at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET on Friday. Bungie doesn’t mark Xur’s location on the in-game map, so it can be easy to miss him if you’re not aware he exists. But he only comes to specific locations, of which now there are only three: the Tower Hangar area, on Nessus in Watcher’s Grave, and in the Winding Cove area of the EDZ.

  • The Wardcliff Coil – 29 Legendary Shards

Exotic Weapons

The Wardcliff Coil

While Gjallorhorn is still the best rocket launcher in Destiny 2 currently, the Wardcliff Coil easily takes second place on this chart. It’s a weapon that’s designed to be a shoot-and-forget delivery mechanism for dozens of explosive warheads, absolutely annihilating anything caught in its line of sight. It’s not elegant, but it gets the job done.

Dead Man’s Tale

No Caption Provided

It’s another slow week for legacy Exotics, as the scout rifle Dead Man’s Tale won’t be turning any heads with its roll of perks. Moving Target gives you increased movement speed and target acquisition while aiming down the sights, which is alright if you’re looking to scope out any danger from a distance. Otherwise, this week’s build is an average one.

  • Hammer-forged rifling
  • Light mag
  • Moving target
  • Short-action stock

Hawkmoon

Hawkmoon fares slightly better, depending on how often you like to fill your hand with iron. Quickdraw is the perk this week, which allows for you to quickly swap to it, while the rest of the perks are decent enough for taking advantage of the Paracausal Shot ability.

  • Extended barrel
  • Alloy magazine
  • Quickdraw

Exotic Armor

Celestial Nighthawk

One shot, one kill.
One shot, one kill.

Helmets are the running theme with Xur this week, and for Hunters, he has a classic that favors that subclass when it wields the Golden Gun super. Celestial Nighthawk modifies Golden Gun to fire a single high-damage shot, and if you eliminate an enemy with it, it’ll explode and refund some super energy back to you. While there are better helmets out there, few have a perk as satisfying as this one when it finds its mark.

  • Strength: 7

One-Eyed Mask

Who dares harm a Titan when they wear this Exotic?
Who dares harm a Titan when they wear this Exotic?

Titans have a lot of great Exotic helmets to choose from, and in the Crucible, One-Eyed Mask can be great if you have the reflexes to take advantage of its signature perk. Vengeance will immediately inform you of anyone who dares to damage you, and destroying them will grant you an overshield in return. It’s very handy for both PvP and PvE, if you’re willing to run with a high-risk and high-reward playstyle.

  • Mobility: 12
  • Resilience: 17
  • Recovery: 3

  • Intellect: 2
  • Strength: 9

Apotheosis Veil

Nothing will stop you from casting your Super with this helmet equipped.

Lastly, Warlocks can grab an Exotic helmet that can save your bacon when you’re facing overwhelming odds. Insatiable restores your health, melee, grenade, and Rift energy when you activate your super, and any nearby allies will see their own abilities recharge much more quickly. A very useful tool for when you need to land your Super attack and you can’t afford to let enemies take advantage of that brief window of vulnerability when you activate your ultimate ability.

Metroid Dread was one of the best Nintendo Switch games of 2021, but despite being more than a year old, it’s rarely on sale at major retailers. Well, now’s your chance to snag a physical copy of Metroid Dread for its best price yet. Amazon is selling the stellar Switch exclusive for only $40 as part of its Black Friday sale. This deal already sold out once, so you’ll want to pick it up quickly if interested. Metroid Dread would make for a great gift this holiday, especially at this price.

Metroid Dread takes the series back to its side-scrolling roots for the first time since Metroid Fusion for Game Boy Advance in 2002. Developed by Mercury Steam, the studio behind the 3DS remake of Metroid II, Dread takes cues from Samus Returns with its counter system and refined aiming/movement controls.

Dread’s various unique biomes are an absolute joy to explore. In true Metroid fashion, there are many upgrades to secure and secrets to uncover. On top of the great sense of adventure, Metroid Dread has some truly phenomenal boss fights that will test your skills. Thee world is also filled with zones patrolled by the EMMI, terrifying robotic creatures that you must stealthily avoid and eventually deactivate.

Longtime fans of the series will also appreciate the narrative running through this action-packed adventure. The game earned an 8/10 in GameSpot’s Metroid Dread review. “More than anything else, Metroid Dread feels like going back to a place of comfort after a long time away,” I wrote. “Though the gameplay is refined and new features have been added to the mix, Dread sticks closely to the formula of its predecessors. In the end, for longtime fans like myself, that’s probably for the best. There’s nothing to dread here. We’re home again.”

There are plenty more great Nintendo Switch Black Friday deals available now, including discounts on two of the biggest Switch exclusives of 2022: Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Splatoon 3. For more, check out our roundup of the best Nintendo Switch Black Friday deals.

There was some interesting commentary about the pricing of Star Wars: Squadrons ahead of its release in 2020. It was coming in at $40, considerably lower than other big-name games (like, for instance, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order), which Electronic Arts attributed to a relative lack of “breadth” (opens in new tab) compared to other, more expansive games. It turned out to be quite good, though, and the whole pricing thing doesn’t matter right now anyway because for the next week you can get it completely for free from Epic (opens in new tab).

“We designed this game to really focus on what we heard from consumers, which is one of their greatest fantasies, and that’s to be able to fly an X-Wing fighter or TIE Fighter, and be in a dogfight,” EA’s chief financial officer Blake Jorgensen explained at the time. “And so it doesn’t have the breadth of some of our games, but it’s still an incredible game.”

Thanksgiving is done and the post-turkey panic of Black Friday shopping is upon us. GOG started things a little early, kicking off its Black Friday sale on Wednesday and offering Narita Boy as part of that. Looks like the site isn’t done giving away goodies just yet, as you can now snap up Terroir (opens in new tab), a game GOG describes as an “atmospheric 3D tile-based tycoon game” set in a vineyard.

It looks like a rather lovely endeavour, sporting a low-poly isometric style that’s quite clean and minimalistic. Each playthrough takes you through 60 years of winemaking, beginning with a single hexagonal tile to grow, crush and age your wine. You can eventually work your way up to 33 tiles, with six tile types that can affect each other depending on where they’re placed. There are different grape varieties to grow and a “dynamic weather system reflecting the unpredictability of real world climate.”

The Lachmann Sub is already making a strong case for being one of the best SMGs in Call of Duty: Warzone 2. If you were missing the MP5, this is the equivalent you’re looking for, presenting itself as a daunting and speedy gun that won’t give people enough time to counterattack. It’s an ideal option to be paired with an assault rifle, for example, of which there are plenty (opens in new tab) to pick from.

The best Lachmann Sub loadouts for Warzone 2 

While it is already reasonably impressive on its own, using the right loadout is key to making the most out of it. Here are the best choices for the Lachmann Sub in Warzone 2, including attachments, equipment, and a recommended perk package to round the choices up.

Speedy

  • Muzzle: XTEN RR-40 
  • Barrel: FTAC M-SUB 12” 
  • Laser: VLK LZR 7MW 
  • Magazine: 40 Round Mag 
  • Rear Grip: LM Cronus Grip 
  • Lethal: Drill Charge 
  • Tactical: Stun Grenade

EA likes its profanity how it likes its coffee: filtered. No wonder, then, that a recent update to The Sims 4 has taken a scouring brush to the game’s gallery, purging it of “wholly unacceptable content” and making updates to the game’s profanity filter to prevent people from uploading unwholesome content in future.

“We are aware of and have seen some select instances of wholly unacceptable content that has been uploaded to The Sims 4 Gallery,” reads the update on EA’s official Sims 4 blog (opens in new tab), which says the game’s team has “reviewed, and made critical updates to, the profanity filter to help prevent this from happening again in the future”.

The Darktide crafting system is one of the more anticipated features for the upcoming Warhammer 40K game, letting players tinker with their weapons (opens in new tab) and curios (opens in new tab), but also do a bit of a buildcrafting for their character. Update 1.0.8 adds the Shrine of the Omnissiah, which effectively functions like the forge from Vermintide 2. When all the features are in place, you’ll be able to upgrade and reroll your equipment.

If you’ve just started playing the pre-order beta, you might be looking for some tips (opens in new tab), which Darktide class (opens in new tab) to choose, how cosmetics (opens in new tab) work, or what those little weapon symbols (opens in new tab) on your equipment actually mean. Either way, here’s how Warhammer 40K: Darktide crafting works, as well as where to find the materials you’ll need, such as Plasteel and Diamantine.

Genshin Impact codes are one of the big reasons a lot of players tune-in to the livestream that happens every six weeks. We get news from miHoYo about upcoming banners and events in the next version, but can also claim some free currency to use when wishing for the new characters in-game—handy if you’re a no-spend player who’s been saving up Primogems for one of the upcoming banners.

In version 3.3, we’ve got two new characters: Faruzan and the Wanderer. Both belong to the Anemo element, and the latter is actually Scaramouche, the Fatui Harbinger you probably remember fighting earlier in this version. I guess this is miHoYo making up for never giving players La Signora as a character after the Inazuma quest.

BBC Radio 4, which UK readers might remember from childhood car rides, and which US readers might regard as a beautiful and exotic mystery, is getting into videogame adaptations. A Splinter Cell drama, to be specific (opens in new tab): An eight-part series that will tell a tale of what happens “When a lethal assassin from Fisher’s past returns from the dead on a mission of murder”. 

The only characters from the show that have been named so far are Sam himself and his daughter, Sarah, “who teams up with her dad on his latest secret missions”. I wouldn’t be surprised if a few of Splinter Cell’s more memorable characters put in an appearance, though, by which I mostly just mean Lambert, the guy who shouted “Dammit Fisher, I’m pulling you out” at you every ten minutes.

Whether you need some general tips to improve your daily Wordle game, a helpful clue to set you on the right path, or you’d like someone to dish out the answer to the November 25 (524) puzzle as quickly as possible you’ll find all that, as well as our handy guides and Wordle archives, right here.

It’s a familiar routine: I input some common letters and surefire vowels, admire the results, and then rearrange them for a short while until I win. That was the plan… the reality was I had a screen full of grey boxes and one late solitary green that felt more like a taunt than a helping hand. Still—a late, stressful, close-run win is still a win.
