For all its faults, Cyberpunk 2077 (opens in new tab) is still an impressive achievement. Night City is a glimmering nest of skyscrapers that tower above a wide ocean of social rot. But one thing has always been missing: Why can’t I monetise the rot?

Thanks to a new mod from keanuWheeze and scornthegreat (and uploaded by NexusGuy999, just winner names all around), you can! Stock Market and News System (opens in new tab) finally extends the dead hand of finance capital into Cyberpunk’s day-to-day. As you can probably surmise from the mod’s name, it adds a “fully useable” stock market system as well as a news service, both of which respond to your actions in-game.

If you thought you had to wait until the end of the week for the best Black Friday SDD deals, think again. As impressive as some of the deals on speedy SSDs have been so far, expect to see even more deep discounts as we get closer to Black Friday. An SSD is one of the easiest and most impactful upgrades you can make to your gaming PC. They make load times in games like Elden Ring and God of War breeze by, as well as improve your overall Windows experience.

NVMe SSDs are what you want as your primary storage inside your desktop (and even your modern gaming console). They are faster, more efficient, and more reliable than an old spinny hard drive (opens in new tab). With DirectStorage (opens in new tab) coming soon, expect to see load times reduced even more. You want to ensure that your motherboard has the requisite M.2 slots for an NVMe SSD—as soon as you find that out, you can take advantage of some of the really stellar deals out.

With prices where they are, there’s no reason why your gaming PC shouldn’t already have a solid-state drive. But I get it; it’s tough to let go of an old HDD you’ve had for years, but trust me, you’ll see what the big fuss is about once you see an SSD in action. You can now find 1TB drives for around $100 / £100 and 2TB of SSD storage for less than $200 / £200. Anything larger than that starts to get expensive and is not worth the click unless you spot a good deal on it, which is rare even on Black Friday. 

As far as size is concerned, 1TB is the least amount of storage you want when shopping around for an SSD. It might be tempting to go with something smaller because the price is right, but you’d be surprised how fast a 256GB and 512GB can fill up after installing a handful of games. Below are the best deals for internal and external SSDs that’ll fit your favorite games and media. 

BLACK FRIDAY INTERNAL SSD DEALS IN THE US

We’re at the end of the Darktide pre-order beta’s first week and there’s still lots left to be added to the game. Fatshark has laid out the changes (opens in new tab) it’s implementing week-by-week with a somewhat vague summary of the features we’re getting in the run-up to release, but right now there aren’t enough unlocks to be worth the grind.

Over the weekend I maxed my Zealot Preacher to level 30 just to see what features are in the game or if there were any noteworthy or secret unlocks. Except for the cosmetics (opens in new tab) you can get through penances, a few cutscenes, feats, and weapons for your class (opens in new tab), there isn’t really anything else. If you reckon you’re only going to level one character during your time with Darktide, I would very much recommend waiting until some of the other features have been added.

It’s kind of clear from the cutscenes, like at rank 11 with Sire Melk, that meeting certain characters will unlock their respective shop or function for the player, it’s just that those functions aren’t in the game yet. That said, there are weapon unlocks, and some of them are particularly great. The heavy eviscerator chainsword for Zealot, for example, is one of the best weapons I think Fatshark has ever made, and using the flamer to melt a horde of unsuspecting poxwalkers is a joyful experience.

The problem with unlocking weapons right now is that we don’t know how the crafting system works, and what implications it’ll have on rerolling, or even acquiring weapons. Every time you get a cutscene you also unlock some new weapons that can appear at the Requisitorium, but will that also unlock them for crafting like in Vermintide 2? Curios are also a bit of an unknown. You can buy them, or acquire them through the curio reward chance you get from equipping curios, but will they be craftable, too? I reached out to Fatshark for some clarification regarding crafting and cosmetics.

The Call of Duty: Warzone 2 nuke was initially a rumor until someone detonated it (opens in new tab) three days after launch. It was a far cry from the nuke in the original Warzone, a one-off event that was used to transform the original Verdansk (opens in new tab) and usher in the Cold War era with the revamped ’84 version. This time around, it doesn’t have such lasting consequences.

The Warzone 2 nuke works similarly to the old Tactical Nuke killstreak in that, once it’s been set off, it’s game over for everyone in the match. Unlike the killstreak though, you’ll need to locate a number of specific items during a game—and fend off anyone else with the same idea. Still, if you’re dead-set on winning regardless of the cost, here’s how to get the nuke in Warzone 2.

It’s Black Friday week now and the sales event has become a genuine global phenomenon. It’s a time of year when just as the tinsel is starting to filter out into the high-street so now are the big black signs declaring sales so big they have their own gravitational pull. And it can be a fantastic time to get a saving on that one thing you’ve had your heart set on all year or round out all your Christmas shopping in one glut of gifted spending.

But it can also be a time where some retailers pull out their shiftiest tactics and their most effusive language in order to encourage people to part with their cash on products they would not normally look twice at. That’s why we’re here each and every year, to act as your fecal matter filters, straining out the worst excesses of the November dealiogeddon, and ensuring you only see the sort of kit we would recommend to our friends.
