Helldivers 2’s next big patch is now set to drop tomorrow, October 15, because Arrowhead forgot to factor weekends into its plans when it announced that 60 day plan during the summer. The good news is that the studio’s made up for this minor oversight via a cheeky video teasing what’s coming in the patch, including one inclusion that’s seen Johan Pilestedt get in on the jokes.Yep, in a another one of those cheeky little videos Arrowhead used to gradually reveal a lot of the major stuff that’d be included in the game’s last big update, CCO Pilestedt and developer Niklas Malmborg adressed the fact that the 60-day plan is now technically a 63-day one.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings “We don’t patch during weekends, because we don’t want to break the game while you’re playing the game, Pilestedt explained, “We have decided to release the day 60 patch on day 63, that’s gonna be on a Tuesday, [October 15].” Thankfully, the developers did then offer some teases as to changes that’ll be coming in the patch.What were they? Well, the autocannon’s getting some flak (in the good way), the scorcher’s getting “automatic fire”, drone backpacks are becoming recallable so you can avoid friendly fire, and the stalwart is getting “one of the nicest changes” in the patch.Oh, and the recoilless rifle’s getting “programmable ammo”, leading to lots of speculation from players as to what that might entail, including one joke about now being able to get DOOM running on your bullets that Pilestedt responded to with a Reddit comment wisecrack of: “and later Skyrim will be released on it.” Helldivers, tune in for some important updates about our upcoming 60(3?) Day Patch and have a sneak peek at what’s to come. pic.twitter.com/w5okGZr41A— HELLDIVERS™ 2 (@helldivers2) October 11, 2024To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settingsThere’s also a relatively fresh new major order to that’s been helping tide folks over until tomorrow, with the latest step in building that new space station, with help from the deep mantle forge complex and xenoentomology center the divers have already secured in recent orders, being as follows:”Research progress is currently bottlenecked by the number of Terminid specimens available. Additionally, the advent of the DSS will drastically increase our E-710 requirements. Therefore, High Command has ordered the establishment of a Terminid Research Preserve on Acamar IV.”Terminids will be seeded inside tightly-controlled areas on Acamar IV, allowed to develop naturally but kept in check by a robust network of electrified fences. Research Teams stationed within the Preserve will be able to requisition Terminid specimens as needed, aided by SEAF Bug Wardens. In the future, the Preserve can be expanded to provide not only research specimens, but also easy-to-acquire E-710.”The Helldivers are to establish and maintain a strict planetary quarantine around Acamar IV, isolating the Preserve from the greater Terminid host.”So, off you go to help secure Gacrux, which looks to be the planet in the MO list – which also includes Crimsica, Turing, Darius II, and Pandion-XXIV – that currently needs your attention, and make sure to check back in with us on October 15 so you know when the patch has gone live and can get a taste of what its full patch notes have to offer.

Insect shells, rice husks, water bottles, and bamboo charcoal might not be the first things that come to mind when you think of high-performance building products. But Taiwanese upcycling company Miniwiz is using them to create just that. “We take leftover construction waste, leftover fiber waste, leftover plastic or packaging waste, and turn that into a building material you can use for another 30 years,” says CEO Arthur Huang.
Carbon emissions from the built environment include “operational” carbon generated through uses like lighting and ventilation, and “embodied” or “embedded” carbon, created during the process of material extraction, manu…

Read moreAmazon’s Black Friday sale includes a ton of bargains on 4K Blu-rays, including a plenty of hit movies for around 10 bucks. We put together a list of the best cheap 4K Blu-ray deals, many of which save you upwards of 70%. There are some really great $10 4K movies here, including The Batman, John Wick, and Terminator 2.
We initially planned on limiting this list strictly to 4K Blu-rays for $10 bucks and under, but we uncovered far too many notable deals in the $11 to $13 range. We couldn’t leave The Shining, Jurassic Park, Inception, Dune: Part Two, and others off this list. The Shining and Jurassic Park are $11 each, while Dune: Part Two and Inception are only $13. That said, most of the 4K Blu-rays below are closer to $10 instead of $15.

Read moreIt’s no secret that Spider-Man 4–whatever it might be subtitled–is on the way from Marvel Studios, and could be ready by 2026, though no confirmation is set in Marvel’s ever-shifting schedule. Aside from Tom Holland suiting up again, Shang-Chi’s director Destin Daniel Cretton stepping in for Jon Watts, and the screenwriting duo of Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers returning, not much is known about the production. That includes if the multiverse hijinks of multiple Spider-Men are involved once again.
That doesn’t stop Andrew Garfield from getting pressed for his involvement, even if it’s non-existent. During a live special of the Happy Sad Confused podcast, host Josh Horowitz had a long conversation with the actor that eventually turned to Spider-Man talks like if he was thinking a…

The Steam Deck will not get yearly iterations a la the iPhone, according to one of its designers, though a Steam Deck 2 will likely happen at some point.
In an interview with Reviews.org (spotted by The Verge) Steam Deck designer Lawrence Yang said, “We’re not going to do a bump every year. There’s no reason to do that.” He elaborated that he felt it was unfair to customers to offer only incremental improvements each year. He said, “…we really do want to wait for a generational leap in compute without sacrificing battery life before we ship the real second generation of Steam Deck.”
This answer matches prior statements Valve has made. On several occasions last year, Valve employees stated that a more powerful Steam Deck will be years away–late 2025 at the earliest. Va…
Read moreEarlier this month, CD Projekt Red finally shared the first look at The Witcher 4 with a new teaser featuring Ciri as a fully fledged Witcher on her own adventure. And while there wasn’t much time for fun and frivolity in that preview, the developers are hinting that the card game Gwent will be featured in the upcoming sequel.

Game director Sebastian Kalemba and executive producer Gosia Mitręga were asked about Gwent’s presence in The Witcher 4 during their joint interview with Easy Allies. While neither Kalemba nor Mitrega came right out and said Gwent is in the game, they certainly seemed to confirm it.

Read moreCyberpunk 2077 is a big game with lots to discover, but not all of it is easy to see or find – luckily, a new mod should help you see even the smallest of moments.While it’s been almost four years since Cyberpunk 2077 came out, there are still plenty of easter eggs fans are finding even now, with some still yet to be discovered. Of course, even though there are some that still need to be found, it can be difficult to see all of the ones that players are already aware of, as well as some of the game’s more unique events. After all, Night City isn’t exactly small, and if you don’t know where something is, how are you meant to find it? Well, if you’re someone that wants to see as much of what there is to see in Night City as possible, you might want to check out the new and quite popular Hidd…
Read moreMassive Entertainment and Ubisoft’s Star Wars Outlaws is finally out later this week, but the reviews are already in for the Red Dead Redemption-esque game, leaving just one question: how is it? Well, it depends on who you ask, as while most reviews are generally favourable, it’s sitting pretty much all over the spectrum of review scores. Jim landed on the higher end for us at VG247, giving the game 4/5 stars in his review, which you can check out here. While Jim did make it clear that Star Wars Outlaws won’t win many Game of the Year awards due to a mixture of reasons, it still manages to capture a very particular Star Wars vibe that helps you feel young again – and it helps that the game looks great too.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings Still, Jim…
