You need Space Marine 2 Requisitions to unlock any of the good stuff for your Astartes classes, such as colors, emblems, and new weapon versions. Early on in your Space Marine 2 career, you’ll find that Requisition points are quite difficult to get as you spend them on Chapter emblems and paints, but when you start unlocking new weapon tiers, you’ll need to save them up to get better wargear for tougher missions. With that in mind, here are the best ways to earn Requisitions in Space Marine 2.How to get Space Marine 2 Requisitions The short and simple answer for getting Requisitions in Space Marine 2 is to just complete Operations and Eternal War matches, though there are some extra details and methods to be aware of:Higher difficulty Operations award more Requisitions: The higher the threat level, the greater the rewards, which also goes for any Space Marine 2 Armory Data you find.

I’ve just handed my financial records over to a dishwasher aptly named Dishy in Date Everything. Sassy Chap Games’ co-creative lead and voice actor Robbie Daymond prefaces my meet-cute with the kitchen appliance by calling him the “closest thing we have to a villain” in the studio’s debut dating sim, so you could argue this is quite a rash move. But hey, sometimes you have to take risks to find out if you can make a love connection, right? I can talk to the dishwasher and give him what I’m sure is very necessary information thanks to a magical pair of glasses known as “dateviators”. The special shades make the house I’m in come alive, and I mean that in the literal sense, as I can essentially fire hearts at objects to transform them into anthropomorphized versions before my eyes.Producer and voice actor Amanda Hufford says the dishwasher is “a little unhinged”, and I soon discover what that actually means. Dishy begins downloading my own “dishwashing experience”, which begins with the …

It’s bad news for anyone eager to dive into Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s campaign mode, as Activision has confirmed that for the first time in two years, players won’t be offered early access to the single-player story ahead of the first-person shooter’s multiplayer launch.Looking at Call of Duty’s recent releases, both Modern Warfare 2 and 3 (the 2022 and 2023 versions, respectively) offered fans who pre-ordered the games around a week of early access to their campaign modes. This was a move that went down well with many at the time, as it gave players the time to enjoy the story without feeling the need to rush into the multiplayer mode to make sure they didn’t fall behind with their PvP skills. However, publisher Activision has now confirmed that this won’t be happening this year for Black Ops 6.In a statement sent to Charlie INTEL, Activision says that the “team is fully focused on October 25,” and is “excited about all the game has to offer across Campaign, Multiplayer and Zombies.…

Dragon Age: The Veilguard creative director John Epler has given his thoughts on what he reckons the games industry will look like in 25 years, and he thinks there’ll come a point where developers’ focus will be on giving players freedom.Speaking to Eurogamer, the BioWare veteran says that while there’s a “temptation to say it’s going to be a technological shift,” but when it comes down to it, “at a certain point, we come to the place where we can’t make graphics better.” Could we reach that point in the next 25 years? Of course, we can’t know that for sure at this point, but Epler suggests that priorities will be different in the future. “Ultimately, it’s going to be about finding that balance between player freedom and authored content,” he says. “To me, that’s the most interesting challenge. How do you manage to allow players freedom in your world, freedom in this space?”25 years from now, I’m hoping technology resources will make it easier to build content in ways that allow f…

Within the first few hours of a Dark Urge playthrough, there are two signs that things aren’t about to go the way you planned. The first, infamously, happens if you so much as think about biting off poor Gale’s hand as he reaches for help through his portal. It’s an evil trick on Larian’s end – while you would expect to follow the dialogue to its natural conclusion, by either chickening out or doubling down with a dice roll to bite his hand off, your agency is snatched away. There’s a fade to black, a quick munch, and suddenly one of the game’s main characters is permanently dead. But if that feels underhanded, what comes next is outright devious. Early in Act One, friendly tiefling bard Alfira visits the party’s camp, bright-eyed and keen to follow your adventure. She sleeps at camp, but come morning, the Dark Urge wakes up next to her mutilated body, drenched in blood after subconsciously tearing her to shreds. Unlike Gale, in which do-gooders will have avoided merely by n…

Baldur’s Gate 3’s long-awaited Patch 7 has finally arrived, and it hasn’t taken very long for fans to make the most out of the RPG’s new modding tool – players have already unlocked a secret developer mode, allowing for the creation of custom campaigns and more.Only two days after Patch 7’s hotly anticipated release, a mastermind modder known online as ‘Siegfre’ uploaded BG3 Toolkit Unlocked. This handy utility mod reactivates “the disabled features and enables write permissions for the BG3 Toolkit” – opening up the opportunity for “level editing, save editing, and more.” While fans have discovered a way to access all of this now, though, developers never intended for players to be able to use any of it.Speaking to PC Gamer during this year’s Game Developer’s Conference, Larian Studios lead Swen Vincke revealed that Patch 7’s official mod kit wouldn’t allow for custom campaigns or level editing akin to Divinity: Original Sin 2’s own. “With Divinity, there was not a lot of traction on […
