The Future Stars Academy: Scout Report is your gateway to getting a 91-rated Icon with double playstyle+ in EA FC 25, but an unfortunate bug has ruined the fortunes of many.

Thankfully, you can check out this guide before your selection to avoid making mistakes. The bug has resulted in the rewards being distributed erroneously. Instead of seeing their names, players are shown the codes (which makes it incredibly confusing).

Thankfully, here's the full set of what you get behind each pick after completing the Future Stars Academy: Scout Report objective.

All Future Stars Academy: Scout Report rewards in EA FC 25

The Future Stars Academy: Scout Report objective is pretty easy to complete. All you have to do is complete three matches in any Ultimate Team mode while having your Future Stars Academy player in the starting squad.

Once you complete the objective, you'll get two rewards: A pick between 5* Weak Foot/Skills, and 1 of 5 Playstyle+ pick (this will be your Academy Evo's second playstyle+ potentially). If you have been displayed a code, you won't know which reward to pick. Here's how to make your selection based on the coded names of the player pick.

• AcademySlot109: 5* Weak Foot
• AcademySlot110: 5* Skills
• AcademySlot117: Trivela+
• AcademySlot116: Intercept+
• AcademySlot115: First Touch+
• AcademySlot114: Tiki Taka+
• AcademySlot113: Trickster+

If you want to select 5* Weak Foot, pick AcademySlot109. If you want Skills, go with 110. Similarly, pick the corresponding pick for your desired playstyle+. It's unclear as to when this bug is going to be fixed, so it's better to depend on the solutions mentioned here.

Once you have made your selections, you can then apply the relevant upgrades to your Academy Evo to improve them and unlock their full potential. Of course, the Future Stars promo is about special SBCs as well, and both Morgan Rogers and Andrea Pirlo offer terrific value.

The Future Stars Play 2 objective is now live in EA FC 25, and it brings a host of different rewards for you to earn in Ultimate Team.

The latest objective set has several tasks for you to complete. As you finish them, new rewards are going to be unlocked, which include fodder packs, new cards, and more. Let's take a look at how you can complete the latest objective set to unlock all the available rewards.

EA FC 25 Future Stars Play 2 objective guide

The Morgan Rogers Future Stars SBC has arrived in EA FC 25 with two special cards, and you can pick between them to reinforce your Ultimate Team squad.

This is the first time when Rogers has received a promo item, and EA Sports has added two cards. After completing the SBC, you can select the version you want to keep. Let's examine how you can complete the challenge and which version is the better pick.

EA FC 25 Morgan Rogers Future Stars SBC tasks

The Morgan Rogers Future Stars SBC has three tasks, and here are the requirements.

Task 1 - England

• Min. 1 Players from: England
• Min. 1 Players: Team of the Week
• Min. Team Rating: 83

Task 2 - Top Form

• Min. 1 Players: Team of the Week
• Min. Team Rating: 85

Task 3 - Premier League

• Min. 1 Players from: Premier League
• Min. Team Rating: 87

EA FC 25 Morgan Rogers Future Stars SBC solutions

Here's a set of solutions you can use to complete the latest Future Stars SBC.

Task 1 - England

• Any 9 83-rated items
• Smalling 82
• Any 83-rated TOTW item

Task 2 - Top Form

• Any 10 85-rated items
• Any 83-rated TOTW item

Task 3 - Premier League

• Pedri 86
• Pajor 87
• Mateo 85
• Gabriel 86
• Hansen 90
• Girellli 85
• Bruno Fernandes 87
• Benzema 86

Between the two cards, the item that can play as an LM is the better one statistically. It has one extra playstyle and can play in three different positions. That said, you should pick the one that suits your squad. If you're looking to play him as a CAM, the item with Pinged Pass+ and Finesse Shot+ is the better choice.

All things considered, you can't go wrong with this SBC, irrespective of which card you pick. For 170,000 coins worth of fodder, this is a must-complete SBC for all. If you're looking to add a new icon, make sure to check out this guide about the newly-released Andrea Pirlo SBC.

This is the best valued icon SBC released thus far in Ultimate Team. For 500,000 coins worth of fodder, you can add a fantastic item to your Ultimate Team squad. While Pirlo can operate as a CDM, he's best suited in the CM due to his stats. Dead Ball+ and Long Ball+ are great playstyles, as are Incisive Pass, Pinged Pass, Quick Step, and First Touch.

There is very little room for complaint with this SBC, and you should complete it as soon as possible. If you don't have a lot of fodder, the recently released Justin Kluivert and Zambo Anguissa POTM SBCs are two worthwhile alternatives to consider.

After two decades following its original release, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will be a trip down memory lane for every hardcore fan of the franchise.

Thanks to a leaked trailer doing the rounds on social media for the last 24 hours, we know when the game will launch. The trailer also lists the platforms where the game is going to be available. Unless there are any unprecedented delays at the ends of the developers, the wait won't be long.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater release date

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will release globally on August 28, 2025. This was first revealed by the leaked trailer, which appears to be from the PSN Store's backend. So far, we haven't had any official idea about the date, although it was known that the remake would be available in 2025.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater trailer explained

The nearly two-minute-long trailer is the first peek at how the technology has changed over the last two decades. While the main plot will be the same, the remake will have significantly better graphics for starters. This is obvious as the project was built on Unreal Engine 5 instead of Konami's proprietary FOX Engine.

Expect significant changes in how some fundamental movement mechanics work inside the game. For example, Snake can now crouch-walk, and you'll be able to aim more precisely. These changes will certainly take away some of the more janky mechanics in the original version.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater platforms

Unless you're on an old-gen console, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will be available at launch. The game will be available on the PS5, the Xbox Series X|S consoles and PC via Steam).

So far, we have no idea whether the game will be available on the Nintendo Switch 2, but that will largely depend on when the console becomes available worldwide.

If you want to play early, the Deluxe Edition will provide that opportunity. The edition will have up to three days of early access for those willing to pay extra. Currently, the Steam page is up, but much information is yet to be disclosed.

It will be interesting to learn more about the upcoming launch and if Konami will showcase more features and gameplay videos to the audience in the coming months.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has some fascinating characters you'll encounter on your adventures, and Riddler Barley's questions can be tricky to solve.

When you meet the character for the first time, he will drop a riddle on you. The first one is pretty easy to solve for anyone who has completed their first few hours in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. However, you'll soon realize that the riddles get progressively more challenging to crack.

All Riddler Barley riddle answers in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

You can get four riddles from Riddler Barley, and solving all of them will reward you with Groschen. However, you'll lose your in-game resources if you bet but can't solve the riddles.

The solutions will help you solve all four riddles when Riddler Barley appears on your save. His appearance is completely random in nature, and you can potentially find him both regions. When you meet him, use the "Tell me a riddle" option for him to test your wits.

If you're concentrating more on the main questline, attending the wedding will be one of your very first job. To solve the Riddler's puzzles, you'll need Groschen, and here's how you can earn them quickly in the game.

One of the foremost essential tasks in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is to craft and cook different items, and to do so, you'll have to discover the Alchemy recipes.

Discovering the recipes is extremely beneficial in the long run, although you can directly purchase many items from the traders. Having the recipes will allow you to craft the items whenever you want, as long as you have the relevant ingredients.

Let's take a look at how you can obtain all the available Alchemy recipes in the game.

How to get all Alchemy Recipes in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

There are 27 different recipes you can discover in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and they're spread all over the map, and some of them are available in multiple locations.

Once you have obtained the recipes, you'll also know about the exact ingredients you will require to make an item. While all the recipes have their own uses, I will recommend preparing Saviour Schnapps when possible as it will allow you to save in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.

Similarly, make sure to to prepare the Marigold Decoction if Henry ends up drinking too much and getting a hangover.

For the second day in a row, EA Sports has released a well-valued POTM SBC. The Kluivert POTM SBC offers an 88-rated CAM item that can also operate as a LM. He has two playstyle+, and I am a big fan of Pinked Pass. The card also has Power Shot+, Finesse Shot, Technical, and Rapid.

While this card isn't a top-tier item, you can't ask for more from a SBC that costs less than 200,000 coins worth of fodder. With an overall rating of 88, chances are the card will soon fit into a future evolution, improving its potential for competitive use. If you're looking for a similarly-priced defensive midfielder, check out our guide on the Zambo Anguissa Serie A POTM SBC.

In an ideal world, players would have been able to play Football Manager 25 on all available platforms in March 2025 after enduring multiple delays. Instead, the project has now officially been canceled.

Developers Sports Interactive announced the unfortunate decision earlier today, February 6, in conjunction with SEGA's quarterly financial report, confirming that the much-delayed title has finally been binned.

Why has Football Manager 25 been canceled?

Football Manager 25, or FM 25 in short, was expected to be the series's biggest technical and visual advancement, as it would have been based on the Unity engine. Unfortunately, the massive shift proved to be too big a challenge for the developers to conquer.

“Due to a variety of challenges that we’ve been open about to date, and many more unforeseen, we currently haven’t achieved what we set out to do in enough areas of the game, despite the phenomenal efforts of our team. Each decision to delay the release was made with the aim of getting the game closer to the desired level but, as we approached critical milestones at the turn of the year, it became unmistakably clear that we would not achieve the standard required, even with the adjusted timeline."

It appears that despite two previous delays, Sports Interactive has been unable to develop a product that will satisfy the players in every area possible.

“Whilst many areas of the game have hit our targets, the overarching player experience and interface is not where we need it to be. As extensive evaluation has demonstrated, including consumer playtesting, we have clear validation for the new direction of the game and are getting close – however, we’re too far away from the standards you deserve."

The developers seem to have been unwilling to launch Football Manager 25 in a state that would have compromised their reputation in the community.

“We could have pressed on, released FM25 in its current state, and fixed things down the line - but that’s not the right thing to do. We were also unwilling to go beyond a March release as it would be too late in the football season to expect players to then buy another game later in the year."

For the time being, players will have to contend themselves with Football Manager 24, albeit without any more updates or new content. But there are always mods to explore as the wait continues.

If you've been eagerly looking to play Avowed at 60fps at launch, there is some good news and some bad news.

Obsidian's upcoming project will be able to run at 60fps at launch on the Xbox Series X. That said, the performance you might get could fall way below your expectations if the game's director, Carrie Patel, is to be believed.

Avowed will finally run at 60 fps at launch on Xbox Series X

Talking on the MinnMax podcast, Patel said players can play the game on 60fps.

"You can get up to 60[fps]"

This news will be huge for those who will be playing on the Xbox Series X. Last time, Obsidian made it clear that Avowed will only run at 30fps at launch on the Xbox Series X. This news did disappoint some, as the Series X is the beefier console (compared to Series S).

Back then, the devs claimed that the game had become "a lot juicier" in development. This was cited as the main reason behind the limitation on frames per second. Something has definitely changed since, and players will be able to access higher fps, but there's a catch.

"You gotta accept a little jank to do something fun and creative, I think."

Hence, it's safe to assume that running the game at 60fps might be possible, but it might feel unoptimized. That said, it's still better that Series X users will at least have the feature to try and enjoy Avowed with higher fps. Any optimization issues are likely going to be sorted by Obsidian post-launch.

The upcoming title will be released on February 18 after a long delay (it was originally scheduled to launch towards the end of 2024). If you choose to purchase the Premium Edition, you can start your journey on February 13. The game will also be available from day one on the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 might be set in the medieval timeline, but things like drunkenness and hangovers are common if you drink too much.

You will find different types of alcohol and other drinkables inside the game, and consuming them will trigger their effects. While some of them have positive effects, others are purely negative. Hangovers are the worst possible outcomes you can have, so it's essential to know how to remove the negative effects after consuming a drink.

How to reduce Drunkenness in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Irrespective of whether you're having a positive or negative effect from being drunk, it can be removed by the same method. You'll have to use the Hair O' The Dog potion. They work just as other consumables like Saviour Schnapps, this potion can be of three different types with different effects.

• Weak Hair O'The Dog: Decreases drunkenness.
• Hair O'The Dog: Reduces drunkenness and hangovers.
• Strong Hair O'The Dog: Eliminates drunkenness and hangovers.

To get this potion, you can simply buy from the taverns and apothecaries you come across during your exploration. Alternatively, you can brew it on your own using this method.

• You'll need 1x Sage, 1x St. John's Wort, and 1x Mint.
• First, put water into the cauldron.
• Add Sage and St. John's Wort into the cauldron.
• Boil for three turns.
• Add the Mint after grinding it.

This will prepare your potion for you to remove/eliminate your drunkenness.

How to cure Hangovers in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

If you thought the negative effects of drunkenness were terrible, then you wouldn't want to get a hangover. A hangover will reduce every primary stat of Henry, so you'll want to get rid of it as soon as possible. One way to do so is to wait for the negative effect to wear off. However, you might want to remove it quicker, and there are two ways.

You can consume either a Hair O'The Dog potion or its Strong version. Both of them will help to remove a hangover. As an alternative, you can consume the Marigold Concoction. The Weak concoction will pass hangover 50% quicker. The standard version will pass a hangover 100% quicker, while the Strong type instantly cures any hangover you might have.

Like the Hair O'The Dog potion, you can prepare a Marigold Concoction on an Alchemy bench.

• You'll need 1x Nettle and 2x Marigold.
• Add water and Nettle into the cauldron and boil for two turns.
• Add the Marigold after grinding it, and your Marigold Concoction will be ready.

Once you're cured of any negative effects, you can complete different quests. One of them involves acquiring Henry's best friend, Mutt, early on in the game. If you're focusing more on the main questline, getting to the wedding will also be an important mission.

The outcome of most quests in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 will decide how the story evolves, and you'll want to pay strong attention to the points of no return.

The points of no return represent certain stages in the main campaign from where you won't be able to backtrack. In simpler words, any side quests left incomplete till this stage will remain as such, so you must finish them before reaching the stages.

The two points of no return are decided by the regions available in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. The first point of no return is available in the Trosky region. It's tied with the Necessary Evil quest, which is part of the main storyline.

Before you begin this quest, make sure to complete every side mission available in the Trosky region. Of course, you don't need to complete all of them, but any you leave out will remain like that. Not only will you miss out on the completion rewards, but a part of the lore will also remain out of your access on that particular save.

The second point of no return is part of the Kuttenburg region, and it appears before you start the Oratores quest. Like Necessary Evil, Oratores is part of the main questline as well. Similar to the previous one, you must finish all side quests available at the Kuttenburg region. Any that you leave unfinished will remain so in your playthrough.

If you're focusing entirely on the main campaign, you'll be able to complete the game quicker. However, you'll be losing out on a lot of fun, as the lore really kicks strong after the first few quests. You'll also progress slower as completing the side missions will help you to gain more in-game experience and other valuable resources like Groschen.

The Zambo Anguissa Serie A POTM SBC is now live in EA FC 25, and you can complete the challenge to unlock a special item in Ultimate Team.

This is by far the best Zambo Anguissa item you can use in Ultimate Team. To play with the card, you'll have to complete all the challenges of the SBC. Let's take a look at how to complete the challenge and see if the new Anguissa item is worth your fodder at all.

EA FC 25 Zambo Anguissa Serie A POTM SBC tasks

The Zambo Anguissa Serie A POTM SBC has three different tasks, and here are the requirements.

Task 1 - Serie A

• Min. 1 Players from: Serie A TIM
• Min. Team Rating: 84

Task 2 - Top Form

• Min. 1 Players: Team of the Week
• Min. Team Rating: 86

Task 3 - 87-Rated Squad

• Min. Team Rating: 87

EA FC 25 Zambo Anguissa Serie A POTM SBC solutions

Here's a set of solutions you can use to complete all three tasks in EA FC 25.

Task 1 - Serie A

• Any 10 84-rated items
• Thuram 83

Task 2 - Top Form

• Any 87-rated TOTW item
• Olmo 84
• Chawinga 84
• Vlahovic 84
• Dovbyk 84
• Karchaoui 87
• Aleix Garcia 84
• de Jong 87
• Popp 87
• Koulibaly 84
• Modric 86

Task 3 - 87-Rated Squad

• Osimhen 87
• Palmer 85

• Pedri 86
• Pajor 87
• Mateo 85
• Gabriel 86
• Hansen 90
• Girellli 85
• Bruno Fernandes 87
• Grimaldo 86

This Anguissa card offers tremendous value if you're looking for a defensively solid midfielder. He has three different roles++ and double playstyle+. Both Relentless+ and Intercept+ are crucial for the CDM position, as is the presence of Anticipate playstyle.

His Pace (84) is slightly on the lower side of things, but he makes up for it with 86 Dribbling, 87 Defense, and 95 Physicality. For 160,000 coins worth of fodder, the SBC is an absolute bargain, and a future evolution will only improve the card further.

The Dancing with the Devil quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 forces you to make an important decision, as Maleshov's fate lies entirely in your hands.

During the quest, the Dry Devil will give you a hard decision to make. If you let him burn Maleshov, you'll have the blood of many innocent villagers on your hands. While you can refuse to do so, it will seal the fate of your beloved comrades.

Let's take a look at what happens with both outcomes, which will help to narrow down your choice.

What happens if you burn Maleshov in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

When you arrive at Maleshov, the Dry Devil kills a peasant and supplies you with torches to burn down the village. He believes that doing so is necessary to draw out the soldiers from the castle to save themselves during the assault.

If you choose to side with Dry Devil, select "Yes, the trap must be sprung" This action will be followed by Maleshov burning down as Henry tries to save as many peasants as possible. The soldiers will be drawn out from the castle, allowing you to ambush and eliminate them.

Naturally, the castle will be a lot more empty once you have killed the soldiers. At a later stage, you'll encounter Istvan Toth in your dreams. You'll find yourself in Maleshov, which is in a ravaged stage, and Istvan will accuse you of being the same as him.

What happens if you refuse to burn Maleshov

To reject the Dry Devil's suggestion, select "No, I won't murder the innocent". This will directly put you up against Dry Devil in a direct duel. If you fail to defeat him, Maleshov will burn. If you defeat him, the next stage of your assault begins. You'll be forced to take a stealth-based approach as there will be plenty of guards in the castle.

Interestingly, this method doesn't have too many casualties, as Dry Devil warned. No named characters die with your action, and only a few mercenaries might get killed. The final sequence concludes with you trying to persuade Von Bergow to leave the tower or you having to assault it. Either way, Maleshov will be spared of its misfortune if you choose to refuse the Dry Devil.

I chose to spare Maleshov. This decision made my quest harder, but I play my video games with conscience, and so should you.

One of the very first quests in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 will require you to attend a wedding, and knowing all the steps will allow you to save your time and energy in the process.

The wedding we are talking about takes place in Semine. Like most things in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, there are two ways to attend this wedding. You can do so by speaking with Kreyzl or interacting with Radovan. Krezyl is located in the south, while Radovan the Blacksmith can be found in Tachov.

You can go with either of them to start your journey towards the wedding.

How to get to the wedding in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

In my playthrough, I selected Radovan, so the following steps correspond to that choice.

• Once you speak with Radovan, you'll have to prove your Blacksmith skills to him. Once the tutorial is complete, Radovan will give you a job as his apprentice and allow you to sleep (giving you access to a bed).
• After you have improved your rapport with Radovan, speak with him. He will tell you that he hasn't heard back from two of his helpers who had to deliver certain goods to Semine.
• Go south to Semine, and a cutscene will play out. You'll get familiar with Lord Semine and Gnarly, who is his guard.
• The next job will be to find the cart, and the journey will be quicker if you have your horse by you.
• As you reach the cart, you'll run into a few bandits. Once you have dealt with them, go back to Semine and tell Radovan what happened.

Once these two tasks are cleared, the next part is pretty simple. First, you'll have to forge a sword. This sword will be a gift to Lord Semine's son, and you'll have to bring Radovan the Hermit's sword. To find it, speak with the innkeeper to get more information. You'll have to travel to Apollonia to proceed with the quest and get the required item.

After you've gained the sword, you can attend the wedding. But first, make sure to clean yourself up, with a full bath being advisable. Equip your best possible set of clothes, and wear as many accessories as you want. You'll want to be well-decked in order to clear the final check (required to attend the wedding). That's pretty much how you get to attend the wedding in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and a romance option is also available at the location.

The wait for the Sundered Doctrine Dungeon won't be long, and it will be an integral part of the Destiny 2: Heresy content.

Bungie has officially revealed the new dungeon, but not many details are available from the developers. There will be a race taking place as well, and the dungeon will also feature a few exotics as available rewards if the rumors are to be believed.

Let's take a look at how you can participate in the dungeon to earn the rewards.

How to participate in the Sundered Doctrine Dungeon in Destiny 2

The Sundered Doctrine Dungeon will be available on February 7, 2025, starting at 9 a.m. PST/12 p.m. EST, and it will be set in Rhulk's Pyramid Ship (Savathun's Throne World). You can find the node for it just beside the large Vow of the Disciple Raid node above the Miasma.

For the first 48 hours, a Contest Mode will be available, which is going to be the ultimate test for the players.

To participate, you'll have to form a fireteam with three players. You'll also need to own The Final Shape Dungeon Key and finish The Drowning Labyrinth quest. During the contest mode, power will be capped at 1995 power, and you'll be facing a new enemy faction called the Dread. As usual, the dungeon will have its boss battles as well, and there's an exclusive set of rewards for the team winning the race.

Based on the datamined information and online rumors, here are the rewards available as part of the Sundered Doctrine Dungeon.

• Trace Rifle
• Scout Rifle
• Hand Cannon
• Shotgun
• New title named Delver
• Three new emblems

Best tips and tricks for Sundered Doctrine Dungeon

The Sundered Doctrine Dungeon is going to be a difficult task, and the Contest Mode is expected to be a stern test. You'll be facing endgame enemies, while your power will be capped. Even if you're not part of the race, clearing all the objectives and tasks can be a huge challenge. Here are some tips you can remember to improve your chances of success.

• Complete the Bounties that will allow you to unlock artifact perks early.
• Try to get a high-stat armor to improve your survivability.
• Collect upgrade materials.
• Prepare different loadouts.

If you're not planning to participate in the race, it will be useful to check out a few strategies other players are taking to clear the raid. You should also play with other experienced players and communicate well as a team. This will improve your chances of success and help you to unlock all the available rewards.

The Science of Love event is now live in Fallout 76, and you can complete the first week of quests to win some really cool rewards.

The event was officially leaked online, and if the rumors are true, it will be a two-week fiesta for the players. For now, you'll need to contend with the missions that are part of the first week.

Fallout 76 Science of Love event dates

Week 1 began earlier on February 4 at 12 a.m. ET, and it will be continuing until February 11 at 11:59 p.m. ET. Once the first week is over, the next set of weekly quests will be available, and you'll have until February 18 to complete all the quests.

With the dates in check, let's take a look at how you can complete all the quests.

How to complete the Science of Love event in Fallout 76

The first step is to access the Atomic Shop and claim your free Doctor Head Mirror. This item is necessary for you to complete all the tasks. You can find it in the Special tab on the featured page or by going to the headwear section.

Here are the Week 1 challenges you can now complete in Fallout 76.

The Melchie Dumornay Future Stars SBC is now live in EA FC 25, and you can complete the challenge to pick between two special items.

Dumornay is the latest entrant to the Future Stars promo, and you can choose between two versions. Both cards might look similar, but there are noticeable differences. Let's take a look at how you can complete the challenge and which version you should pick for your team.

EA FC 25 Melchie Dumornay Future Stars SBC tasks

The Melchie Dumornay Future Stars SBC has two tasks, and here are the requirements.

Task 1 - 84-Rated Squad

• Min. Team Rating: 84

Task 2 - 85-Rated Squad

• Min. Team Rating: 85

EA FC 25 Melchie Dumornay Future Stars SBC solutions

Here's a set of solutions you can use to complete the full SBC in EA FC 25.

Task 1 - 84-Rated Squad

• Any 10 84-rated items
• Any 1 83-rated item

Task 2 - 85-Rated Squad

• Koopmeiners 83
• Joao Cancelo 86
• Fishlock 83
• Palmer 85
• Gwinn 83
• Claudia Pina 83
• Little 86
• Spitse 83
• Gabriel 86
• Locatelli 83
• Xhaka 86

The choice here is simple: go with the one with the Press Proven+ playstyle. Since the other item has Relentless+, we can safely ignore it. The 89-rated Striker item can also operate as a CM, and she has 3 roles+. The card also features Finesse Shot, Power Shot, Technical, Incisive Pass, and Quick Step.

While the price of the SBC is pretty low, the cards on offer could have been better. They don't have 2 playstyle+, and most players will already have better cards in their Ultimate Team squads.

Tome of Want represents the principal way of obtaining different rewards in Destiny 2: Heresy, and maximizing it will help you get closer to your dream build in the latest episode.

The new system will be music to the ears of those who hated the grind system of the Revenant Episode. Back then, we had the Tonic system, which was awful to describe in one word. It confused me every time when I looked at it, and the ratio of resources to rewards was plain unfair. The Tome of Want system is a noticeable improvement, and here's how you can utilize it to get drops from the Heretic Arsenal.

How does the Tome of Want work in Destiny 2: Heresy

The principal job of the Tome of Want is to help users get the rewards that they want. It will allow you to zero down on the type of equipment you want after completing certain activities. With the Tome of Want, you'll be able to spend Heresy resources to perform rituals that will reward you with new weapons of your choice.

In many ways, it's an extension of our beloved Engram Focusing method, but with certain extra steps. To perform a ritual, you'll need Essence of Desire. This item drops from all kinds of Heresy activities, and you'll need plenty of it to perform the rituals.

The Tome of Want has two main parts: Ritual Rites and Tome Engravings. Ritual Rites is the main deciding factor behind what type of rewards you'll get. Tome Engravings work pretty much like Volatile Tonics whenever it's gathering power.

Once you complete a ritual, you'll get up to three copies of the same rewards. The rewards will depend on three different factors:

• Scriptures: This marks the broad reward categories.
• Crumbling Scriptures: This will help you to refine the reward type.
• Ritual of Desire: This is the energy that lets you conduct the Ritual.

If you're using blue-rarity scriptures, you can use them without any limits. If you're using Legendary Scriptures or above, they will be consumed once you use them. The best types of rewards will be obtained from Exotic Scriptures, but they're pretty hard to get in the first place.

How to get rewards with Tome of Want

The first task is to fill the Tome with the required Ritual Power. You can do this by completing different episodes and playlists, defeating all kinds of enemies in Heresy activities, and more. Once you've enough Ritual Power, it will consume one charge and provide you with a reward. Every active Ritual will have 3 charges, and you can re-do the entire process once all of them are exhausted.

Make sure that you choose your reward categories carefully to maximize your loot potential. It's not mandatory to mention the Crumbling Scripture category, but the two other factors will help you zero down on the loot you get.

The Tome of Want also allows you to switch between Rituals. Still, I will avoid doing so as your already-selected Scriptures and other relevant resources will be simply wasted. Overall, it's a really neat system that will allow you to have far greater control over what rewards you get after completing the different Episodic quests in Destiny 2: Heresy.

Having man's best friend by your side in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has several advantages, and you can find Henry's trusted companion Mutt pretty early.

In fact, you start looking for the dog as soon as you gain access to the open world. Mutt will be separated after being attacked at the camp, so the onus is on you to find him. You can fast-track this process by going to the spot where Mutt hides post the attack and it will allow you to add him to your party quicker.

Mutt's location in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

To find Mutt, you'll have to travel to the northwest part of Semine, and the spot is close to the river. Just take he road from Semine, and you'll reach a point from where the road takes you to the forest. Mutt is actually near a wolf cave, and you can find in southwest of the Nomad's Camp. Hence, you can also quick travel to Nomad's Camp and start your journey from there. Either way, the key is to head into the forest.

Once you approach the cave, you'll find Mutt whining, and being surrounded by a wolves. You'll have to save him from the wolves, and this quest also serves as the tutorial towards how you can command your dog to perform certain actions. You can choose to flee, but the wolves are pretty easy to dispose off, and you'll gain XP in the process of doing so.

Just press your your L1/LB button to look for Mutt, and you'll get to interact with him, feed him, or send him to your home.

You can also find Mutt while completing the Invaders side quest. This quest allows you to interact with the Cumans, and Henry will follow Vasko's trail up the hill. If you keep following the quest objective, you'll be led directly to the cave. You'll again come across the same cutscene and set of actions, but the fight will be harder as it will be night and Henry will be drunk. Hence, the first method is the recommended route you should take in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 certainly has one of the strangest save systems in place, and you'll want to learn all about it unless you want to lose in-game progression.

The save system is pretty similar to the prequel, and you can't save whenever you want by pressing a key. Instead, you'll have to consume a particular type of potion in order to save when you want or sleep in specific beds that can be found around the map.

Let's take a look at how the save system works to ensure that you don't end up accidentally losing your in-game progression.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 save system explained

There is an autosave feature that works at key moments in the main quest. Usually, the autosave happens when you've completed a task in a quest. When you quit the game, just use the "Save and Quit" option. When you want to resume your journey once again, you'll be able to access the save points.

If you don't want to rely on the autosave system, there are two workarounds. One involves using the Saviour Schnapps potion, while the other requires sleeping.

All ways to get Saviour Schnapps in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Saviour Schnapps is a potion that allows you to save the game instantly. You can find this rare item inside different chests, and from traders. The best place in my books will be the Apothecary if you want to purchase them directly, and they come in three different types.

• Weak Saviour Schnapps: Saves the game
• Saviour Schnapps: Saves the game but also heals 10 HP and increases Strength, Vitality, and Agility by 1 for 3 minutes.
• Strong Saviour Schnapps: This version does the same as a normal version but heals 20 HP and increases Strength, Vitality, and Agility by 2 for 5 minutes.

Irrespective of which type you're using in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, they will always help you to save your in-game progress. You can use the item from your inventory before an uncertain mission to ensure that a defeat isn't going to prove too much. If you pause the game and select "Save Game", it will automatically consume the potion from your inventory (assuming you have at least one).

Using sleep as a save option

If you sleep on your bed, it will also save all your in-game progression. There is a catch, as the function only works if you're sleeping on your own bed. If you're using a bed on a camp, it won't save your progress. You can work around this challenge by renting a bed at a tavern or an inn. The easiest option is to just sleep in your own bed, and you can unlock more of them by completing the Blacksmith Radovan and Mille Kreyzi's quests.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 not only allows you to unlock different skills as you level up, but it also allows you to rectify your choices and make changes along the way.

It's quite natural that you may want to change the way Henry operates in the game, and some skills might start to seem less useful in the long run. Thankfully, there's a respec system in place that allows you to start from scratch.

How to respec your skills in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Unlike typical RPGs, resetting your chosen skills requires a particular item called Lethean Water. This item, in fact, is a potion whose in-game description reads as "forget all earthly experience". Whenever you use this item, you'll reset your selected skills. You can then use your available skill points in a fresh way.

Best ways to get Lethean Water

You can either buy Lethean Water in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 or craft it on your own. If you want to go for the first option, visit an Apothecary. By spending about 120 in-game currency, you'll be able to buy the potion and use it.

If you want to go for the second method, you'll need to get the recipe and brew the potion yourself. Just like the potion, you can also buy the recipe directly and craft it using the required ingredients. It's worth noting that the recipe costs more than the potion. But it's better in the long run for you to get the recipe and craft using the ingredients.

You'll need the following items to craft one Lethean Water.

• Two Wormwood
• One Belladonna
• One Henbane

Once you have the resources, head to the Alchemy Bench. Grind the Wormwood and add it to the Cauldron, followed by Belladonna to brew for three turns. Finally, add the Henbane to distil the potion and use it when you want.

The Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Gold Edition comes with certain extra goodies that can be yours for a marginally higher price.

To get the game's premium version, you only have to spend $10 extra. Doing so entitles you to an exclusive Gallant Huntsman's Kit, Four Shields of Seasons, and Three future expansions. If you have also pre-ordered your copy of the game, you're entitled to a bonus quest.

Let's examine how you can obtain all the in-game goodies you are entitled to as part of your Gold Edition.

How to obtain all your Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Gold Edition bonuses

While all the bonus items are available easily, you'll have to complete a few tasks first.

• You'll need to have your own bed inside the game. This will allow you to access a storage chest, and all the items will be available.
• To get to your first chest, keep completing the main story path until you are allowed to explore the open world.
• Once you begin the Wedding Crashers main quest, you'll have to locate Radovan the Blacksmith or Kreyzl the Miller. The ultimate objective is to participate in the wedding.
• Irrespective of your choice, you'll be required to complete the same task, and you'll gain access to a small room with a storage chest.
• Just look inside the chest, and you'll find the following items in it.
• Gallant Huntsman’s Kit: St. Hubert’s Hunting Cap, Artemis’ Crossbow, Nimrod’s Hunting Coat, Military Sword
• Four Shields of Seasons

Once you gain access to these items, it's highly recommended that you add them to your in-game inventory. Having the pieces of clothing would allow you to have bonus stat buffs and successfully pass speech and persuasion checks.

The Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Gold Edition might be $10 more expensive, but the additional bonuses are definitely useful. It will be interesting to find out what the future story expansions have in store for us and whether they will manage to hit it strong with the players.

The core gameplay of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 might be focused largely on war and turmoil, but you can also choose to fall in love with various characters based on your tastes and preferences.

Warhorse Studios' follow-up to their hugely popular Henry simulator allows players to jump into a brand new journey set in the medieval 15th century. There's plenty of scope if you want to romance other NPCs, and we have already discovered a fair few.

Disclaimer: List to be updated as we come across more options.

Complete list of romance options in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Most characters have certain requirements before Henry (or you) gets to romance with them. Once you have cleared those requirements, you'll find a dialog option that will have the heart icon beside it.

Ultimately, romancing in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 isn't a mere gimmick, as Henry will get the "Time Well Spent" buff, which temporarily grants Henry's Strength, Agility, and Vitality by +1.
