Rockstar Games has updated Grand Theft Auto V's multiplayer mode once more, bringing with it new cosmetics, more events to take part in, special sales, and the most important thing of all: hallucinogenic plants.Additional Peyote plants are now in the wild across GTA Online. You'll have to "stray from the beaten path" to find them, Rockstar said. But if you do, you'll be treated to a trip that will make you see "hellish" visions and transform your body into "beastly" creatures. Eating these plants will also teach you lessons about the meaning of life and the truth of existence. "Consume at your own risk," Rockstar said.Peyote plants are collectibles in GTA Online that have been added and removed from the game over the years, but now they are back. They are truly trippy experiences, as consuming them kicks off a vision where your character morphs into land or sea creature like a cat or a shark. Rockstar didn't announce the list of new plants or reveal where to find them, but people on the internet have already located them and you can find numerous videos on YouTube.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

One of the first challenges you'll be tasked with completing for Fortnite's Season 2, Week 12 content is to hit different opponents with a harpoon gun. This challenge can seem tricky if you don't know where to look, but there is a spot on the map that makes it very simple.Where To Find A HarpoonThis is the most surefire spot to go to find barrels containing harpoons The easiest spot to find a harpoon is Craggy Cliffs, which is located in the northern area of the map. We highly suggest gliding directly down there when you start the match, as others are surely going to be heading there to get the harpoons before they're gone. Once you've arrived, look for a brown wooden building with an area just beside it that holds several fishing barrels. It's near the middle of the town.You can also try Lazy Lake, but the barrels there are more spread out, and it could just leave you frustrated. Start searching through the barrels until you find a harpoon, but keep in mind that it's random, so you may just find fishing poles. If you see someone else using a harpoon, even better--ambush them before they see you.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

This week in Fortnite, you'll be asked to deal damage within 15 seconds of gliding as part of the new Season 5, Week 12 challenges. You'll need to do 200 points worth of damage to complete this quest, for a total of 20,000 XP. If you're used to playing the regular Battle Royale mode, you will probably struggle to pull this one off, unless you get lucky--and even then, you'll have to potentially stretch out this challenge across multiple rounds. There's an easier way to complete it in one go, which we've outlined in our guide below.How to glide in FortniteThe "gliding" this challenge refers to is exactly what you think it is--deploying your glider as you skydive onto the map. In normal Battle Royale matches, you can only deploy your glider once, unless you use Rifts or Launch Pads. We don't recommend relying on this method to complete this quest if you're looking to get it done quickly. The best way to complete this challenge is to play a team mode that allows you to re-deploy your glider, like Team Rumble or Battle Lab.The fastest way to deal damage after glidingTo get this challenge done fast, we recommend playing Team Rumble mode. Team Rumble is a great mode to complete this challenge in because it grants two opportunities to re-deploy your glider: when you respawn and when you jump off any ledge. To find this mode, head to game mode options from the lobby where you can select solo, duos, trios and squads. Ignore the standard Battle Royale modes and select Team Rumble, which should be listed down at the bottom left next to Creative mode.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Konami might not be preparing one, but two new Silent Hill entries, with one Japanese developer preparing for a reveal this summer.The report, compiled by VGC, suggests that Konami might be preparing two different reboots of the popular horror franchise, with one already well into development at a Japanese studio.

I can't tell you what the project is, but I'm pretty sure when people realize we're working on it, they will be very excited."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

In addition to the mammoth update for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, the battle royale game Warzone is getting a big refresh for Season 2 as well. Activision ran down all the key details in a blog post, and we're highlighting the most important bits here.New Places To Explore And More MysteriesWith the Season 2 update, Verdansk is expanding the number of points of interest to explore, but one shines above the rest. The cargo tanker Vodianoy--which was previously seen off the coast of Rebirth Island--is now missing from that location. It's now at the Port of Verdansk, but all is not well."Operators within the vicinity are recommended to exercise extreme caution, as the ship is carrying unknown cargo, and its crew are not able to be contacted," Activision said.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Lining up with this weekend's BlizzCon, Blizzard is offering up the previously-announced Helm of Domination collectible, which goes on sale tomorrow, February 19 at 3 PM PT / 6 PM ET on the Blizzard Gear Store. We got to take a closer look at it, and it's very spikey.Blizzard sent us the collectible, and the helmet may not be big enough to fit on your own head, but this World of Warcraft 30th anniversary replica is highly-detailed and feels pretty sturdy. Primarily made of polyresin (88%, Plastic: 6%, and Alloy: 6%), the collectible comes in at nearly 17-inches tall--when placed on the stand. However, this helmet will cost you a pretty penny--$300 to be exact. Check out some images of it below.It won't fit on your head, but it will dominate your enemiesGallery The stand for the helmet keeps it in place and upright. There is a tremendous amount of detail within the helmet, including the inscription around the gem between the eyes. It's surprising how well this helmet translates into a collectible. And no, it's not full scale, but this helmet is already very large, and scaling it up any more would make a challenge to put on a shelf--because you wouldn't have the room.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Actor Viggo Mortensen, who famously portrayed Aragorn in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings series, has revealed his unusual audition tactic that led other actors to believe he was a stoner. Speaking to James Corden, Mortensen early in his career he used to intentionally fall asleep in the waiting room for his auditions to help calm his nerves as he awaited his turn.The unintended consequence of this was that other actors thought he was a stoner. They even gave him a pet name: "Sleepy Mortensen.""I used to get very nervous when I was in the waiting room, sitting there with other guys, knowing they're your competition. My automatic way of dealing with it, I guess, was that I would just fall asleep," he said. "If I was nervous, I'd sleep so I wouldn't be stressed. I would just doze off. Snoring away. And then somebody would come and wake me up when it was my turn. I found out sometime later that I had gotten a reputation for being a stoner or something. So... they just thought, 'That's Sleepy Mortensen, he's probably smoking too much weed.'"Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
