Den of Wolves hands-on: An action-packed heist game with Payday pedigree

2 months ago | dotesports.com | Pedro Peres

An open vault in Midway City draws a crew ready to steal its contents. Likewise, techno-thriller heist game Den of Wolves inevitably attracts comparisons to Payday. Swedish studio 10 Chambers’ upcoming title is a frantic cyberpunk take on the heist genre—and it’s riveting enough even in a pre-alpha build. Industry veterans Ulf Andersson and Simon Viklund were key players in the Payday franchise’s first two titles before founding 10 Chambers in 2015.
PoE 2 is letting players respawn in maps without consuming a Waystone

2 months ago | dotesports.com | Pedro Peres

Surviving Path of Exile 2‘s grueling campaign doesn’t necessarily mean you’re ready for the post-story, but the Dawn of the Hunt update will make mapping far more forgiving when it lands on April 4 by letting you keep your portals and get back in the fight. Death is not the end of a map anymore. Once the patch launches, fallen players can respawn and continue from where they stopped, giving them up to six chances at a map.
PoE 2's new Rogue Exile NPCs fight like players-and they'll probably beat you

Path of Exile 2‘s deadliest combatants might not be the bosses you’re facing, but the foes that come to third-party you. With the Dawn of the Hunt update, Rogue Exiles can appear in your maps. These ruthless NPCs act just like players—dodge-rolling and shiny Uniques included. These new NPCs have one of the most complicated AIs in PoE 2 so far, according to game director Jonathan Rogers.

Warframe‘s Techrot Encore update is live, bringing with it the new rock-inspired Warframe, Temple. Getting the new musical Warframe isn’t difficult, but it might take some time. Temple is available after reaching rank four with the Hex, and they drop exclusively from the Techrot Encore-aligned Stage Defense game mode.
Can you romance Kaya and Minerva in Warframe Techrot Encore?

2 months ago | dotesports.com | Pedro Peres

Warframe‘s 1999 Update let you shack up with the Protoframes, so if your first thought in the update was “can I romance Minerva or Kaya?” you weren’t alone. This time, though, the answer is quite different. While you could easily romance any of the Hex with 1999, developer Digital Extremes had other plans for the Protoframes in Techrot Encore.
How to find the new Protoframes in Warframe Techrot Encore

2 months ago | dotesports.com | Pedro Peres

Warframe‘s Techrot Encore Update added four new Protoframes to the mix, and you can find them in Höllvania Central Mall alongside the Hex. They are rather hidden, though, and in an area that wasn’t around in the 1999 update, so you may not know exactly where to locate them. Techrot Encore brought four new Protoframes: Kaya Velasco (Nova), Flare Varleon (Temple), and the duo of Minerva Hendricks (Saryn) and Velimir Volkov II (Frost).
How to get the Hatchling catalyst for Barrow-Dyad in Destiny 2

2 months ago | dotesports.com | Pedro Peres

The Barrow-Dyad Exotic SMG has another catalyst available, which gives it the Strand-flavored Hatchling perk. Unlocking this upgrade requires a couple of steps, though—and one of them can be particularly tricky. As with other craftable Exotics, the Barrow-Dyad SMG has multiple catalysts. The discoveries started with the release of Act Two, which let guardians add the High-Impact Reserves trait to their new weapon. Now, there’s another choice, though we’re sticking with the first catalyst for now.
How to Harvest the Flesh of Akka in Destiny 2's Rites of the Deep quest

2 months ago | dotesports.com | Pedro Peres

The Guardian had to gather a series of odd items in Destiny 2, and now you have to harvest the flesh of Akka for the Rites of the Deep quest to advance the seasonal story in Heresy. In the second act of Heresy, Eris Morn returned from her shockingly cozy throne world after her “death” in Act One. The Hive expert wants to bind the Echo of the Navigator to keep it from potentially siding with Savathûn, the Witch Queen and Oryx’s sister—and that’s why she needs you to harvest the flesh of Akka.
Rainbow Six Siege is going free-to-play and getting a massive overhaul after 10 years

2 months ago | dotesports.com | Pedro Peres

Ubisoft’s Rainbow Six Siege has been around for nearly 10 years, and now, its developer is setting up a “new era” with Siege X. The game is getting a tremendous visual overhaul and finally going free-to-play, Ubisoft confirmed at a press event last week. A box price may have been an obstacle for anyone trying to get into (or drag friends to) Siege, even despite frequent sales. With Siege X, however, anyone can try out most of the game, including the new mode, Dual Front.
Rainbow Six Siege Dual Front beta - How to link your Ubisoft and Twitch accounts

2 months ago | dotesports.com | Pedro Peres

Ubisoft’s Rainbow Six Siege is getting some new life with Siege X, a colossal overhaul of core parts of the game. It’s also bringing the Dual Front game mode, which players can access early if they can link their Twitch and Ubisoft accounts. Getting access to the beta may not be as much of an obstacle. The first way is to watch the Siege X showcase with a linked account, which should provide you with a beta code as a Twitch Drop, though the developer may offer other ways to grab a test key.
