The second season of Fortnite Chapter 2 is now live on all platforms, and with it comes the first set of Season 2 challenges. This time around, Fortnite's weekly missions will be themed around the new agent character skins you can unlock through the Season 2 Battle Pass. The first set of challenges is called Brutus's Briefing, and one of its trickier tasks is to land at Lockie's Lighthouse, Apres Ski, and Mount Kay. If you're not sure where any of those areas are located, we've put together this map and guide to help you out.Where Are Lockie's Lighthouse, Apres Ski, And Mount Kay Locations?You'll need to land at three specific locations in order to complete these challenges. While the challenge tells you the names of the locations, they're not explicitly pointed out on the game's map, so you may have some trouble tracking them down if you're not already familiar with the layout of the island. Fortunately, all three are fairly easy to find.Lockie's Lighthouse is found on the northernmost part of the map, in grid C1. Apres Ski is on the opposite end of the island; you'll find it atop a mountain southwest of Misty Meadow, in grid E8. Mount Kay is relatively close by; it's located in grid G7. We've highlighted where all three locations are on the map below.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

PlayStation has announced it will not be attending GDC this year amidst concerns surrounding the Coronavirus (COVID19).

A host of small changes with big potential effects are coming to Destiny 2 when its next content season kicks off in March. They're mostly small tweaks that lessen the damage dealt by a variety of guns, and taken together, they seem likely to result in some changes to which guns players favor in the Crucible PvP arena, and which weapons are seen as essential to high-level content like raids.Bungie detailed the changes in its This Week at Bungie blog post, which largely seem like they're aimed at keeping any given type of weapon from becoming a default choice in either PvP or PvE. Bungie is switching around one of the perks of Izanagi's Burden, an Exotic sniper rifle that has become a mainstay of loadouts for players taking on high-level enemies, which will make it reload a little slower but a little more reliable when you're under fire.Two other weapons, which have become dominant in the Crucible, are also getting downgrades: Lord of Wolves and The Last Word. Lord of Wolves, in particular, has seen a major uptick in use; the shotgun carries an alternate fire mode that sprays a ton of ammo in a short period that makes it ridiculously deadly at close ranges. Bungie is tweaking the gun to reduce the accuracy of that alternate fire mode, making it effective only at very close range--and that should encourage Lord of Wolves users to try its normal firing mode when they're fighting at a little more distance.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

There are all kinds of gaming headsets right now, which makes finding the best gaming headset to keep you comfortable while gaming can be tough. Each pair of headphones boasts all kinds of key features, but which ones actually matter. Are there downsides to buying wireless? How universal is compatibility among headsets? How important are sound quality and surround sound audio? Can I tell from images whether a headset will be a comfortable fit? Should I get memory foam or something with fabric? What are planar magnetic drivers, and should I care? Are LED lights cool?The most important thing to keep in mind when looking for the best gaming headset isn't necessarily high-end audio latency--that is, the delay between the action happening on screen and the time it takes for the audio associated with that action to reach your ears. Naturally, when playing video games, especially action games that require quick reactions, you want the lowest possible latency. Depending on what your situation, you might also be looking for a good microphone to go along with good audio and low latency.Bluetooth wireless headphones are generally good enough but will, in most cases, usually suffer from some latency, but unless you're looking for a truly professional gaming headset, that might not matter. Wireless gaming headsets, like the ones we've featured, will usually have their own proprietary dongle that uses a short-range wireless signal, which minimises the latency greatly. If you're a massive stickler for best absolute best possible audio quality and latency however, you might want to stick to a purely wired solution.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

It seems unlikely that Media Molecule will return to the Little Big Planet franchise, at least not anytime soon or with a direct sequel. Studio director Siobhan Reddy said in a new interview that the studio is "all-in" on its recently launched game-creation game, Dreams, leaving no bandwidth for more LittleBigPlanet games from the team."We're all-in all Dreams," Reddy said. "That's what we're all doing right now. We've got so many plans, and we are a really small team. It's going to take every one of us, working on it together to get through all those plans that we have."As Reddy mentioned, Media Molecule is a relatively small studio by AAA standards, with around 50 people on staff. The company has an extensive roadmap of ongoing support and content for Dreams, which is taking up the studio's time currently.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
