🖥 PlayStation, Xbox, PCMortal Shell 2: Best weapons and sidearms
!(https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/proxima-holding-axatana.jpg?width=690&quality=85&format=jpg&auto=webp) Mortal Shell 2(https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/mortal-shell-2) features a bevy of stellar combat tools separated into main weapons and sidearms, and these killing machines run the gamut from a katana-axe hybrid to a rapid-fire alien machine gun. Each weapon has its quirks, and it will take time to experiment with the right combination of Tarstones to maximise their potential. That said, it is possible to rank these fighting implements based on their ease of use and damage capabilities. In this guide, we'll do just that, providing you with a rundown of the best weapons in Mortal Shell 2 with a main weapons tier list and a sidearms tier list. We'll also present two Tarstone suggestions for each weapon and sidearm to ensure that you're well-equipped for the deadly battles ahead.

🖥 PlayStation, Xbox, PC, Multi-platformMortal Shell 2’s Latest Update Alleviates One Of The Game’s Biggest Headaches
Developer Cold Symmetry has released its latest souls-like action-RPG, Mortal Shell 2(https://www.gamespot.com/games/mortal-shell-ii/), on August 20 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. And not even a day after launch, the studio already dropped a patch that makes some welcome tweaks, including addressing one of the game's most annoying issues: gold farming. On August 20, Cold Symmetry shared a breakdown on the game's subreddit(https://www.reddit.com/r/MortalShell/comments/1vttz2d/balancepatch1/) and Steam page(https://steamcommunity.com/app/2584270/discussions/0/582805931178489108/) of what Balance Patch 1 does. A welcome adjustment is a refund of the Glimpses--a rare currency used to bond with and unlock memories of your shell--you might've spent to discover a shell's location(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/mortal-shell-2-all-shell-locations/). You get whatever you spent back, and now, instead of costing that rare currency, buying a shell map costs Gloom, this game's version of Runes or Souls. A big change is a nerf to a handful of bosses and enemies. As Cold Symmetry put it, "all enemies featured in the beta were restored to their beta HP values." This means that the starting area of Mortal Shell 2(https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/mortal-shell-2-is-a-fresh-and-exciting-shake-up-of-the-souls-like-formula/) has been tuned down to match what was in the beta, which I found quite easy when compared to the full release. Maybe the most major tweak, however, is an increase to the amount of gold you find now. As a result of this patch, gold drops from enemies have been "significantly increased," especially in the second zone. This lets you upgrade your weapons more often, as gold discovery should be in line with the materials you find everywhere. There are a handful of other changes that came with Balance Patch 1. This includes Tarstones--items that grant passive bonuses or modify melee attacks--and weapons(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/mortal-shell-2-tarforge-weapons-tarstones-upgrades/) getting buffed, addressing crashes and fixing bugs, and reducing the cost to unlevel your weapons via smelting. Balance Patch 1 is available now for PC. There's no release date for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions yet, but Cold Symmetry said it'll arrive on those platforms "shortly." For now, check out the update notes for Balance Patch 1 below. Mortal Shell 2 Balance Patch 1 Economy - Shell map locations now cost Gloom, and we’re refunding any Glimpses spent on shell maps. Refunded Glimpses are found in the Shell Keeper’s alcove in Blackmarrow. “Finding your favorite shell shouldn’t cost you the ability to bond with them.” - Gold drops from enemies have been significantly increased. Notably, enemies in Mammon now drop double the gold. “This brings the gold economy more in line with the weapon crafting item discovery.” - Smelting a weapon at the Tarforge costs 75% less gloom. “Our goal with the smelt capability was to enable switching weapons without the need to spend hours grinding through NG+ runs, but the Gloom costs were set exorbitantly high.” Enemies & Bosses All enemies featured in the beta were restored to their beta HP values, except the Caerinid (Spider) in Magdalena’s area, which we wanted to retain its role as a threatening enemy which doesn’t respawn once defeated. - Bosses - The Lost Child - Base Damage: (-10%) - Max Health: (-15%) - Monolith - Base Damage: (-19%) - Max Health: (-10%) - Some Monolith Attacks were retimed to be more fair, as well. - Enemies - Cultist (mace) - Max Health: (-21.1%) - Caerinid Spider - Max Health: (-33.3%) - Infested Stalker - Max Health: (-52.4%) - Rusted Knave (Halberd) - Max Health: (-20.8%) - Fixed hit detection for overhead strike. Weapons - Great Martyr’s Blade Attack Damage +20% - Troubadour's Lute Attack Damage +100% - Caged Hystrix and Triarch Repeater no longer have minimum resolve requirements to fire. - Improved tracking for Axatana, Black Needle, and Clockwork Scythe light attacks. Seals - Guard can now be used while walking. Tarstones - Parasitic Stone Buffed - Grudge Stone Buffed - Bulwark Stone Damage Reduction Increased Significantly - Clerik's Stone Buffed - Squall Stone Buffed Miscellaneous - Misc.

🎮 PlayStation, Multi-platformNaughty Dog’s Intergalactic Adds An Actor From The Last Of Us And Uncharted
Another actor has joined the cast for Naughty Dog's upcoming new IP Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. Robin Atkin Downes, who played Robert(https://thelastofus.fandom.com/wiki/Robert) in Naughty Dog's The Last of Us and multiple characters in the studio's Uncharted games, said on social media that he's set to appear in Intergalactic. He didn't say who he is playing, but as you can tell from the video below, he's obviously very excited about it. https://twitter.com/RobinADownes/status/2090646298718597618 Downes is a prolific video game actor, having lent his voice to dozens of games over the years. He also voiced the Medic in Team Fortress 2, Travis Touchdown in No More Heroes, and Spider in Destiny 2: Forsaken. Additionally, Downes voiced Ballistic in Apex Legends. Intergalactic is in the works now for PS5, but we still don't know much about it, or when it may release. The game, which takes place thousands of years in the future, stars Tati Gabrielle as Jordan A. Mun, a bounty hunter who becomes stranded on a faraway planet called Sempira. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLGy63pt9vA The game has been in development since 2020, and also features Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross scoring the soundtrack. Some of the other actors confirmed for Intergalactic include Kumail Nanjiani, Tony Dalton, Troy Baker, and Merle Dandridge.
🎮 PlayStation, Xbox, Multi-platformYour Mortal Shell 2 Weapons Don’t Have To Get You Killed
Cold Symmetry's Mortal Shell 2(https://www.gamespot.com/games/mortal-shell-ii/) is finally out on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Maybe you've been bodying bosses while collecting shells and leveling up your character. Or maybe you've been getting bodied as bosses pummel you into the dirt and your weapons betray you. I can't help you with the former, but I do have some tips and tricks to alleviate the latter. When you start your Mortal Shell 2 journey, a handful of settings are on by default. A couple of these settings make your weapons an enemy magnet, which is good since you want your bullets and your swings to hit your targets. However, when you go in shooting and swinging wantonly, you may find yourself blown to smitherens--just like Redditor xkukazu50, who posted a video on August 21(https://www.reddit.com/r/MortalShell/comments/1vuddap/lovethisgamebutsomethinghastobedoneabout/) of their character getting burnt to a crisp. https://www.reddit.com/r/MortalShell/comments/1vuddap/lovethisgamebutsomethinghastobedoneabout/ The problem here, as xkukazu50 noted, is the weapon tracking. Whenever you pull out your sidearm or swing with your primary weapon, the game's technology pulls your attacks toward the nearest enemy like a vortex. But if you tweak some settings, your life will be made a lot easier. Make your Mortal Shell 2 weapons fight for you. Press pause, toggle over to "Game" in the Settings menu, and check out the "Target Steering" and "Enable Free Aim" options. "Target Steering," which is set to "Default," makes your melee attacks prioritize the nearest enemy you're aiming at. Changing this setting to "Light" or "Off" makes your melee attacks much less sticky so that you can swing at whatever you want without getting sucked to the closest enemy--or environmental hazard--you're looking at. "Enable Free Aim" is exactly what it sounds like. Set to "No" by default, it automatically locks your reticle onto the nearest enemy you point your gun at. If you change this to "Yes," then you can freely aim your gun without that snappy auto-lock on, but if you press the right trigger in with "Enable Free Aim" on, you can still lock onto a target and change your target's lock. That way, you won't accidentally shoot an explosive barrel or something like that. Outside of this, there are two more settings I recommend you change in Mortal Shell 2. The first is setting the "Auto Pick Up Gold" option to "Yes" to save your thumb from breaking the interact button--A on Xbox or X on PlayStation--on your controller, since you'll be picking up gold all the time. The second is changing the "Camera Style" from Immersive to Action, which pulls the camera farther back so you can see more on the screen. This gives you a greater field of view; that way, you know what's coming. There are many more settings to test as you whoop ass or get your ass whooped in Mortal Shell 2. However, these are the handful of settings I suggest you change to make your combat feel more responsive as you tackle the game's very gross bosses.

🖥 PlayStation, Xbox, PCBeast of Reincarnation: All armor locations
!(https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/beast-of-reincarnation-armor.jpg?width=690&quality=85&format=jpg&auto=webp) Finding new armor locations in Beast of Reincarnation(https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/beast-of-reincarnation) can make your fights against the Malefacts quite a lot smoother. Aside from defense ratings, different armor sets offer different resistance effects to the game's status ailments, so if you know you're going up against an enemy proficient in shock, it's a good idea to put on some shock-proof armor. Each armor set also has a different number of spirit stone slots and affects how effectively Emma can sneak around enemies without getting detected. Stealth might not seem important in Beast of Reincarnation's early chapters, though having the option to sneak around groups of enemies and avoid fighting them completely comes in handy later. Just make sure to weigh the pros and cons before swapping your armor. Sometimes, the higher defense numbers in sets like the Chain Mail and Thick Cuirass outweigh the extra attention they bring you from enemies. Beast of Reincarnation's armor sets can be difficult to track down, but we've done the legwork for you. In this guide, we'll show you where to find every armor set, including where they are on the map and what that looks like in-game, and we list the special effects for each.

🖥 PlayStation, Xbox, PCBeast of Reincarnation: All Manual locations
!(https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/beast-of-reincarnation-manuals.jpg?width=690&quality=85&format=jpg&auto=webp) Beast of Reincarnation(https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/beast-of-reincarnation)'s Manuals are your ticket to new items, most of which are pretty essential as you guide Emma toward the Capital City. Manuals give you things like fire arrows and acid bolts, along with some exceptionally useful items for Koo to use in battle, including a second health restorative that works in addition to your emergency medicine. You might not end up using every item a Manual teaches you to craft. Some, like Extinguishing Sand and Torches, are situational, and you can get by without them. Others, like the medicinal tonics and elemental arrows, give you an edge against tougher enemies, especially on the game's higher difficulty levels. However, unlike weapons and armor, most of these are tucked away in hard-to-reach places or guarded by elite enemies — or both. There are several you can just spend amber to get, though. In this guide, we make the job of tracking down Manual locations much simpler. We show you where to find every Manual in each location, with images showing where they are on the map and what that looks like in-game.
