  • Bad news for GTA 6: Next game reportedly in development hell – Dexerto

    Bad news for GTA 6: Next game reportedly in development hell Rockstar GamesThe bad news continues to pile on for GTA 6 as Rockstar’s next installment in the series is reportedly in “development hell,” as an insider puts it. GTA 6 is set to be the next game in the long franchise of the popular Grand Theft Auto series. While there has not been an official release date revealed for the game, it is rumored to be sometime in 2023. However, even with that about two years away, fans may need to wait longer as reports claim the development is not going as planned. GTA 6 reportedly in development hell According to a DSOG report, Rockstar Mag’ Chris Liberty is claiming that development for the new game is not going anywhere near planned. The report claims that “Rockstar has changed the story and other game elements too many times since 2019.” In a video, Liberty delivers the bad news to fans while answering questions that people are asking. We have pulled some important points from the video, but you can find the full video here. It is important to note it is in French and you will need to translate the captions to English. When using the YouTube auto-translation, he talks about how poor it’s going for Rockstar. “To date, this is the most chaotic project of Rockstar since their creation,” he said. The team has run into many issues since Dan Houser’s exit from Rockstar and someone asked if this causing issues. Liberty said they have restarted development since he left and it is a really complicated time for the company. When asked about the game he wasn’t confident in its outcome, “It is likely to be bad. I learned things this summer that are not reassuring.” Liberty said. It was also reported that Take-Two wanted to announce the game back in 2020, but at the time of writing this, there still hasn’t been an official reveal. There is no telling if Rockstar devs will pick up the pace with GTA 6 or if it will ever happen, but Liberty did say that they are working on a Red Dead Redemption Remastered. So fans of the company could have something to look forward to as reports continue to say that development is in shambles.

  • Avid GTA 6 fans are quickly grabbing in-game social media accounts on real platforms – Dexerto

    Avid GTA 6 fans are quickly grabbing in-game social media accounts on real platforms Rockstar GamesMere hours after Rockstar debuted the official GTA 6 reveal trailer – following some unceremonious leaks – avid fans of the series are quickly grabbing social media accounts on IRL platforms for the fictional brands and channels seen in-game. When it comes to the GTA franchise, Rockstar sure does love using it as a vehicle to poke fun at the world today. Its satirical take on society is largely what’s made it one of the most culturally significant properties of all time. Now, with GTA 6 officially on the horizon, it’s clear the devs aren’t bucking that trend anytime soon. With wild club scenes, outrageous parties, and some truly quirky characters all on display in the trailer, Rockstar is portraying its fictional version of Florida (Leonida) through the lens of social media. Spotted throughout the reveal trailer are a number of fictional accounts on fictional social media platforms. Though looking to make them real, in a sense, GTA fans have quickly scattered across the internet to lock down accounts with these new names. One particular account seen in the trailer was that of ‘HighRollerzMag’, a spinoff of the High Rollerz Lifestyle brand, seeming involved in street races. As first spotted by Kotaku, one eager fan has already snagged that account for themselves in the real world. Another that looks a bit more legitimate is the Official POACH account. Seen in various moments through the reveal video, the Protection of Animals and Controlled Hunting account has now been established on Instagram too, with various wildlife posts already gaining traction on the platform. A handful of others have also been grabbed already, with GTA 6 fans clearly keen to make their mark in the leadup to launch in 2025. With more than a year to go until the game’s release, there’s plenty to speculate on, and one such topic is just how much of an impact social media may have in the sequel. Could we see a popularity system in-game, whereby, keeping your social feeds active and sharing your latest escapades is the key to growing your reputation in Leonida? Perhaps our upgraded in-game phones will let us sift through accurate social media feeds in real-time to see what’s going on out in the vast open world. Anything is seemingly within the realm of possibility as Rockstar targets current-gen only hardware for the launch of GTA 6. For now, it’s purely speculation. However, there’s no telling for certain how much of a role social media may have in the full game. Regardless, it’s clear each and every fictional brand account is sure to be gobbled up by most dedicated fans as soon as possible.

  • Asmongold explains why SSB GTA RP is “more exciting” than NoPixel – Dexerto

    Asmongold explains why SSB GTA RP is “more exciting” than NoPixel Twitch/AsmongoldWorld of Warcraft streamer Asmongold returned to Twitch on March 16 after a hiatus and shared an incredibly spicy take about the popularity of GTA RP servers. In the time that he’s been gone, GTA RP has completely taken over the platform thanks largely to the success of NoPixel – a server dedicated to roleplaying within the confines of GTA Online. Thanks to its popularity, many of Twitch’s top streamers such as Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel have taken to streaming NoPixel content. However, according to Asmongold, it’s not exactly the most fun to watch. “There are two GTA RP servers. You’ve got NoPixel and you’ve got SSB. So you’ve got heaven and purgatory,” the streamer explained. “Now, let me ask you a question: which one is more exciting?” It’s easy to see where he’s coming from as NoPixel has a bunch of rules in place while SSB is a lot like the wild west where insane things happen on a daily basis. For Asmongold, this makes the decision a no-brainer. “You think about in heaven, everyone is doing what they need to do. They’re all following the rules. But if you go over to purgatory, man, people are getting f**king drunk, they’re screaming in the mic like it’s Xbox Live in 2005!” the WoW icon exclaimed. For those who didn’t game back then or just need a bit of a refresher, the early days of Xbox Live were a bit of an uncensored dystopia where rules and common decency were thrown out the window. “Honestly, I love watching that s**t! I think it’s f**king funny. But, people take the RP a bit too seriously,” he remarked. “It does kind of put me off. I don’t know why, but it’s just kind of how I feel. I think it’s funny because it’s trash. That’s why I like it. It’s because it’s trash.” In a very amusing comparison, Asmongold proceeded to compare GTA RP to Jerry Springer and how people didn’t watch the controversial show for its production quality, but because it’s a “s**tshow.” According to Asmongold, there’s a chance he himself eventually partakes in GTA RP and has a character in mind. That said, he has doubts that everyone would like it and with the meta transitioning away, we may not get to see it. Assuming the mods and devs are okay with him doing it and it remains a popular category on Twitch, it’s possible we finally see what he can cook up in the world of Grand Theft Auto Online.

  • Asmongold explains why he’s finally been “forced” into joining GTA RP – Dexerto

    Asmongold explains why he’s finally been “forced” into joining GTA RP Twitch: Asmongold/RockstarTwitch star Asmongold is finally going to give GTA RP a whirl on-stream despite not being the biggest fan of the multiplayer mod at first. At the start of 2021, GTA RP made a massive return to the forefront of Twitch following the 3.0 update to the popular NoPixel server. Many big variety streamers jumped in during the initial wave of hype, but moved on to something else fairly quickly. Despite that, some huge names – like xQc, despite his repeated bans – have stuck around and continued to make the multiplayer mod a massive hit. Given that the hype has stuck around and surpassed his initial expectations, Asmongold is finally going to buckle and join the wild world of GTA RP. During his January 28 stream, the MMO streamer confirmed that he’d be dipping his toe into GTA RP before long because it hasn’t died off like he thought it would. “I thought it would die pretty fast. I never really gave a f**k about trying it, but, somehow it just won’t die,” Asmongold said. “It won’t f**king die. And so, I am now forced to try it because everybody I know has played this. Everybody I know is into it, I’m just going to see what it’s like.” Asmon also noted that while he has been streaming on his ZachRawrr back-up account, he’ll wait until he returns to his main stream before he hops into GTA RP. As he also noted, plenty of his pals are big in the world of NoPixel – including McConnell, who plays the popular ‘Bench Guy’ character. Asmongold will have plenty of people to show him the ropes, but just how long he sticks around for remains to be seen. Who knows, he might catch the RP bug and stick around for quite some time.

  • Asmongold bashes GTA 6 PC launch as “mediocre” consoles get it first – Dexerto

    Asmongold bashes GTA 6 PC launch as “mediocre” consoles get it first Asmongold/Rockstar GamesTwitch star Asmongold is slightly peeved by the GTA 6 release amid news that there won’t be a PC version at launch, but he’s still pretty excited about it. When Rockstar Games finally confirmed that the first GTA 6 trailer would released on December 5, the internet was sent into a frenzy. That hype only increased when, hours before the official reveal was meant to go live, the trailer was leaked. The Grand Theft Auto devs quickly sped up their own timeline and released the trailer properly shortly after the leak, confirming that the long-awaited title will finally be released in 2025. Though, we don’t have a concrete day or month just yet. On top of that, they’ve confirmed that GTA 6 will, initially, only launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X, leaving PC players out in the cold as they did with GTA 4 and GTA 5. Asmongold says GTA 6 PC launch is “annoying” That news has, naturally, annoyed many Grand Theft Auto fans who chose to play on PC, including Asmongold. The Twitch star finally chimed in on the hype around GTA 6’s reveal during his December 6 stream, where he was slightly peeved by the lack of a PC release upon launch. “If it comes out on console, I’ll play it on console – I have a console – but it’s annoying,” the OTK founder said. “Obviously, it’s annoying. Consoles are ok but consoles are mediocre computers, really.” Asmon did add that the game looks “way better” than he was expecting. “I didn’t really know what to think but, yeah, this is way better than what I had expected. This is great. This is awesome,” he continued. As has been noted, Rockstar typically leaves the PC version of their games for about a year after the console launch. So, it’ll likely be 2026 before GTA 6 is playable there. There have been numerous complaints from PC fans that Rockstar has been ignoring them, especially in GTA Online as it is multiple updates behind the console version. So, hopefully, things get ironed out for their sake.

  • Are GTA Online updates teasing GTA 6? – Dexerto

    Are GTA Online updates teasing GTA 6? GTA Online players think they’ve found hints from Rockstar Games towards GTA 6 through some of the game’s latest updates. Even though there hasn’t been much, if any, solid evidence of Grand Theft Auto 6 even being in the works, that hasn’t stopped GTA fans from dissecting every small detail that Rockstar Games gives them. The hype around the supposedly upcoming game has been helped by ‘leaks’ which have hinted at the game’s potential story, characters, and setting. Of course, none of these have come with any sort of credible proof, but some fans believe that Rockstar has been hinting at one in particular – the flashback to the 1980s – being true thanks to GTA Online updates. In a substantially long post to the GTAForums website, user Benefactor69 broke down how the latest GTA Online updates have added new vehicles to the game in the same way that GTA IV did prior to the release of GTA V. Back then, some cars were, in Benefactor69’s words, “unfinished” as graphic elements like their badges and parts of the interiors were missing, seemingly looking like a backward port just to drop filler content. Of course, it’s a different story now as all the cars are of a higher standard, but the newest ones are a flashback to a bygone era. Take the ‘Weeny Dynasty’ from the October 17 GTA Online content update, it looks more like a Grand Theft Auto: Vice City vehicle than a modern-day Los Santos one. The posters theory didn’t finish up there, though, as they noted that the ‘Doomsday Heist’ was supposedly GTA Online’s final major piece of DLC but was, instead, followed by the Diamond Casino that has had 80s vibes in the decor, storyline, and the vintage vehicles. “If Rockstar is reusing GTA VI content as filler in the more recent GTA Online updates, it would definitely seem like they are hinting at a vintage setting,” the user said, concluding with their theory. Of course, this is purely the thoughts of one poster and should be taken with a hint of salt, but there are things that can’t be ignored. Rockstar has used GTA to tease future games – including, as Benefactor69 says, GTA IV and GTA V. They’ve also dropped hints about the Bully franchise inside GTA Online, but it remains to be seen if anything comes of it.

  • Arab GTA NoPixel server shut down after banning LGTBQ symbols – Dexerto

    Arab GTA NoPixel server shut down after banning LGTBQ symbols Rockstar GamesNoPixel’s newest server, which catered to their Arab players, has been shut down after the managing team behind the server banned all LGBTQ symbols. In an effort to expand its player base the famous roleplaying GTA V server, NoPixel, launched an Arab server. However, controversy immediately started up when a streamer was asked to remove a rainbow colored wristband. An GTA RP streamer, dantexstar, was streaming the new Arab NoPixel server when Zeedo, who was part of the team managing the server, told him to check his Discord. He had made an announcement that all LGBTQ+ symbols and behavior is banned. Dante read the message to his stream and promptly removed the wristband to avoid a ban from the server. In addition, he was also told by the server admins to remove the LGBTQ+ tag on his Twitch stream. The ban was immediately criticized by NoPixel players who were watching the stream, and particularly gained traction when a Reddior posted it on r/Livestreamfail. With one redditor pointing out that despite using culture as the reasoning to ban all LGBTQ related symbols, they would still rob a bank, kill, and go to a casino despite being banned in Islamic culture. Dante started his stream once again to talk about the situation. Saying he won’t be playing on the server anymore, but harbors no ill will towards any of the staff members. In response to the homophobic rules, Honathan, one of the managers of NoPixel, announced they were parting ways with NoPixel Arab and shutting the server down. He said, “while NoPixel Arab were willing to make commitments and concessions we personally feel it is in the best interest of our community to end things completely.” He further explained players who signed up to the server will be issued refunds.

  • Another Rockstar patent means GTA 6 could have multiple, evolving cities – Dexerto

    Another Rockstar patent means GTA 6 could have multiple, evolving cities Rockstar GamesAnother Take-Two patent leak has seemingly revealed further details about GTA 6, with the cities involved in the game being able to evolve over time similarly to Red Dead Redemption 2. The lack of concrete information about GTA 6 has prompted Grand Theft Auto fans to look elsewhere – be it through wild leaks, potential in-game teasers in GTA V, and even digging into the resumes of actors and musicians. In some cases, they’ve seemingly struck gold – finding character names and people working with Rockstar on a secret project in recent months. More recently, the search has turned to patents that have been filed by Take-Two, the publishers of Rockstar’s iconic games. One patent turned up details about GTA 6’s Online mode having dedicated servers, and now, new information has cropped up about single player. In another patent filing, which was filed in 2017 and is still pending, fans noticed that there are references to evolving cities based on how the player interacts with the world. The patent refers to a neighborhood potentially being described as having “rusty, cheap, and worn down” objects used to build it, but that can change. “In game play where the player is attempting to improve the city they live in, as the player performs well in the game, the game engine can the objects tagged as described above with objects tagged “new, high-end, hipster, renovated” etc to indicate the neighborhood is improving,” it reads. Now look at this excerpt from a 2017 patent from Rockstar Games. Looks like we‘ll be able to „improve“ neighborhood in the game, and this will change them to be gentrified. Holy shit. pic.twitter.com/gRcT5nhCoR— Big Jim Colosimo (@chi_colossimo) January 16, 2021 Some players have taken this to mean that there will be multiple, liveable cities in GTA 6 and that it might work like Fallout 4 where you have a settlement and you can build around there. Read More: Fastest GTA Online cars and best to buy – That would be quite the change for GTA, seeing as we haven’t really been able to improve the city over time ourselves. Though, it’s not a brand-new thing for Rockstar. In Red Dead Redemption 2, locations were constantly evolving – buildings were being painted different colors, railway lines were being built, and trees were being cut to build homes. Though, we’ll just have to wait and see what actually comes from this patent. It could well for something that isn’t even GTA.

  • Another GTA 6 leak claims there are two main characters and three cities – Dexerto

    Another GTA 6 leak claims there are two main characters and three cities RockstarFollowing on from a massive leak about GTA 6 in December, from a supposed QA tester at Rockstar, another supposed leak has provided similar details. It’s important to note from the outset, that there is no confirmation that any of these leaks bear any truth. In fact, there’s no confirmation that Rockstar are even working on Grand Theft Auto 6, so take all of these claims with a pinch of salt. However, some avid GTA fans who have been on the lookout for information have discussed the possibility that these leaks could in fact be legitimate, given how closely it lines up with the December leak. It’s possible that the two leaks come from the same person, just on different accounts, trying to make their claims more believable by keeping them similar. But, this new ‘leak’ has more specific information, even revealing the names of voice actors who have apparently been cast in lead roles. Posted to Reddit on January 10, the leak goes into detail about the game’s supposed characters, setting, and even it’s release window. Two siblings as main characters The December leak said, “I do know that multiple protagonists are a thing, two of them might be siblings,” and this new post corroborates this, claiming: “2 main protagonists (brother and sister).” According to the post, John Leguizamo will play the main protagonist, called Matías González, while Roselyn Sanchez will play the main villain, Valeria Madrina. Vice City and two more cities? The leak claims that we will be going back to the 1980s and 90s, which is the perfect time period for a return to Vice City. But, like the December leak, it sounds like more than once city will be on the cards. The new post claims that there will also be another US city, inspired by Fort Lauderdale, and a third city inspired by Bogota, the capital of Colombia. Bogota will apparently be similar to ‘North Yankton’ in GTA V though, where players will only visit it for certain missions. The December leak actually said that the other US city would be based on Boston, so the two are different here. In addition to the main locations, the leak claims there are “approximately 9 small towns scattered between Vice City and Fort Lauderdale.” The supposed release window for the game, at least according to this leaker, is late 2021 or possibly early 2022. They say a trailer can be expected as soon as April 2020 and an announcement in February, with no trailer. GTA V was first announced around two years before it released. Speculation about a trailer picked up in January after a new Rockstar job listing for a video editor. Other details from the leak include: Map has been designed with air travel in mind – 2 main protagonists (brother and sister) – 6 star wanted level returns – Online mode will be more story driven (Red dead style) – Fuel in cars will feature for the first time – Own personal vehicles can be purchased – Weapons can be stored in the trunk – Police system will be similar to RDR2 – Again, there’s no way to verify this information, so we can only speculate on its accuracy for now. If the leak is correct, we won’t have to wait long to find out, with some kind of announcement apparently coming in February. While you wait impatiently for Rockstar to say something, you can check out all the most believable GTA 6 leaks so far here.

  • Another GTA 6 leak claims announcement will happen very soon – Dexerto

    Another GTA 6 leak claims announcement will happen very soon Rockstar GamesAnother supposed Grand Theft Auto leak has claimed that the announcement and reveal for GTA 6 is not that far away – with some further details about the story and location also being noted. For months now, fans of the Grand Theft Auto franchise have been trying to uncover any type of clue or piece of information that would lead them towards the news that they are all pretty much waiting for – GTA VI. Players have dug deep into GTA Online in order to find any hints or teases, while supposed insiders have claimed that what they are waiting for isn’t all that far away. Adding to that, another apparent leaker has backed up an earlier claim that the game will be announced within a few days. The claim about the announcement was posted online by an anonymous poster who insisted that the information came from someone working at Rockstar. However, they had a few more details about what could be coming soon that might make fans sit up and take notice. They claimed that GTA 6 will be revealed by the end of March with players set to head back to the Miami-inspired location of Vice City. However, where it differs from other rumors is that the new post claims that players will only play as a single male protagonist. Other leaks and rumors claimed that the multi-character system from GTA V would be making a return in some form. This supposed leak also backed up older claims that dealing drugs would play a huge part in the story, with the developers apparently going “all in” on the cartels. Aside from the apparent single-player details, the poster alleged that the new version of GTA Online would be much less “pay to win” than in GTA V – something that plenty of fans have complained about. Of course, it’s difficult to verify any of the claims until Rockstar drops some official word about GTA 6, but, it appears as if we might be entering the endgame. Another insider claimed that the game would be revealed on Wednesday, March 25. So, we don’t have long to wait to find out one way or the other.

  • Another GTA 6 character potentially revealed by voice actor – Dexerto

    Another GTA 6 character potentially revealed by voice actor Rockstar Games, Manu9564Rockstar Games aren’t spilling the beans on GTA 6 just yet, but development might just be further ahead than anyone thought. The road to Grand Theft Auto 6 has been incredibly long. GTA Online is bigger than ever and will only grow with the next-gen port this November. Even after eight years, players are still flocking to Los Santos. Which begs the question, could Rockstar keep GTA 5 alive forever? Grand Theft Auto 6 is apparently in development, with the utmost secrecy surrounding it. Just how far along it is really depends on who you believe. A voice actor behind the scenes has indicated progress is being made though, and might be further along than most insiders have suggested. Captain McClane reporting for duty Details about GTA 6 are, naturally, hard to dig up, but a few fans have uncovered a few clues when it comes to character. Previously, a character known as ‘The Mexican’ appeared on one actor’s resume, but now voice actor Dave Jackson is reportedly joining the open-world franchise. Rockstar Games probably have some mighty non-disclosure agreements in place. This doesn’t seem to phase Jackson, though, as Redditor _zmoore_ found his out-of-the-blue reveal. When questioned about a possible NDA on Facebook, Jackson said: “as long as I don’t give out plot points it’s all good.” Another avid fan wondered whether the role could be for GTA Online to which Jackson replied: “They are producing a trailer, so I HOPE it’s GTA 6.” Playing the character “Captain McClane,” it appears Jackson will have at least somewhat of a considerable role going forward. It’s possible that McClane will be an antagonist in the same vein as Officer Tenpenny from GTA San Andreas. As the character has a name at least, it is likely their role is more than just extra work. Whether Jackson remains in the series after revealing his role, remains to be seen.

  • Annoying GTA Online bug completely breaks Import/Export jobs again – Dexerto

    Annoying GTA Online bug completely breaks Import/Export jobs again Rockstar Games[jwplayer I6dekNS8]Grand Theft Auto Online players have run into an unusual bug that is throwing a spanner into the works with the Heist Crew Import/Export mission. GTA Online fans have plenty of ways to earn cash and build up their criminal empire around Los Santos but sometimes, problems arise that present a pretty annoying hurdle to overcome. This is usually in the form of griefers – be they actual hackers or just annoying players who won’t leave you alone because they want to rack up kills – and other issues like glitches. The most buggy mission of all in GTA Online might just be the Heist Crew on Import/Export. The car sourcing job was actually removed by Rockstar because vehicles were spawning underwater. Yet, a new problem has been rearing its head. Reddit user lfa1127 pointed out that their last attempt at the Cargobob mission was interrupted because the car they were targeting had managed to spawn upside down. Yes, that’s right, it spawned upside down. This means that, despite its hook, the Cargobob helicopter cant actually pick the car up because it is upside-down – thus rendering the job pretty broken and ultimately unable to be completed. lfa1127 was left confused by the spawn as it was something they hadn’t seen before, despite the fact the job has been pretty buggy itself in the past. Other players pointed out that a simple fix for the job is to just leave and hope the next time you search for an Import/Export mission, you end up with something else and not the Heist Crew. Given that Rockstar have dealt with the job’s issues in the past, they’ll probably need to look at it again to make sure that this problem doesn’t affect any other players. Though, we’ll just have to wait and see if they roll out some sort of update.

  • Annoying GTA Online agency bug is completely ruining ammo refills – Dexerto

    Annoying GTA Online agency bug is completely ruining ammo refills Rockstar GamesGTA Online players have discovered an annoying bug that makes Jay disappear from the Agency, which makes refilling specialized ammo much harder. Like plenty of other live service games, GTA Online has embraced the spooky spirit with a Halloween 2022 update. The update brought the new Judgement Day mode along with new vehicles, cosmetics, and in-game deals. Unfortunately, it seems like the most recent update may have also introduced an annoying bug surrounding the Agency, which has made it much harder to refill ammo. GTA Online bug causes Jay to disappear Information about the bug came from a post on the GTA Online subreddit, where one user showed proof that the Requisitions Officer was nowhere to be found at their Agency’s weapon workshop. “Came to refill my explosive sniper ammo in my agency and the guy is just gone.” For those who may not know, the Requisitions Officer — also known as Jay — is an NPC that lets characters upgrade MK 2 weapons and resupply ammo. Since players are required to speak with Jay to purchase more MK 2 weapon ammo, his disappearance essentially makes it impossible to restock certain weapon ammo at the Agency’s weapons workshop. According to other commenters in the thread, this isn’t an isolated glitch. “This happened to me a couple of times today too,” claimed jellyrollsmith. Thankfully, there are still workarounds for those who’ve also had Jay disappear. Any client that offers the Weapon Workshop upgrade will let players operate the workshop normally. This includes the Terrorbyte vehicle, with GTA Plus members can get for free this month. The Terrorbyte allows for a Weapon Workshop upgrade, meaning players can purchase the upgrade path and use the workshop from the vehicle. Additionally, players can use the Mobile Operations Center, the Avenger plane, the Kosatka submarine, or the Arcade. Still, many players prefer to stay close to their Agency, so this bug certainly gets in the way. Hopefully, Rockstar is able to iron out this issue in a future patch.

  • Anita Ward responds to GTA 6 trailer 2 rumors after VI logo appears on her Spotify – Dexerto

    Anita Ward responds to GTA 6 trailer 2 rumors after VI logo appears on her Spotify Rockstar Games/SpotifyAmerican singer Anita Ward has responded to speculation that her 1979 hit ‘Ring My Bell’ would appear in the next GTA 6 trailer or in the game as a radio track. Rumors about the second GTA 6 trailer continue to circulate with artists beginning to hint at their involvement in the long-awaited next entry in the Grand Theft Auto series. Although Rockstar Games has yet to officially confirm a date for the next trailer, speculation intensified this month when the GTA 6 logo suddenly appeared on Anita Ward’s Spotify page. Furthermore, ‘Ring My Bell’ also had its image changed to the GTA VI logo, only fueling the rumors, but the singer has since responded with some bad news for fans. Anita Ward shuts down GTA 6 trailer theories In a post on Spotify, Ward’s account finally addressed the speculation about GTA 6, stating that ‘Ring My Bell’ won’t be featured in the second trailer or on a radio station after all. “All rumors and predictions about the song are unfounded. This is the only official and correct explanation,” the account said. So, why did the GTA 6 logo suddenly appear on her Spotify page? Well, according to the singer, these changes happened “outside of our knowledge” and the singer’s team is trying to get to the bottom of it. That said, the account didn’t rule out a possible collab between Ward and Rockstar Games, stating that while there may not be an official agreement just yet, that doesn’t mean there won’t be in the future. Unfortunately, this news is a major blow for anyone expecting another so soon after the first GTA 6 trailer’s record-shattering debut. This news comes just days after hip-hop icon ScHoolboy Q appeared to reveal that he would be appearing in GTA 6 as the game’s first confirmed radio artist ahead of its 2025 release window.

  • Angry GTA 5 Online fans ratio PS5 delay announcement, slam “updated” graphics – Dexerto

    Angry GTA 5 Online fans ratio PS5 delay announcement, slam “updated” graphics Rockstar GamesGrand Theft Auto fans anticipating the re-rerelease of GTA 5 and Online in November were not pleased to see that the PS5 port had been delayed and didn’t have much to show in the way of graphical improvements either. The September 9 PlayStation Showcase had a lot of great reveals such as the new Spider-Man 2, Wolverine and God of War Ragnarok to just name a few. Sadly, GTA fans were left disappointed. Fans have eagerly awaiting news on the PS5 port, dubbed “expanded and enhanced” by Rockstar themselves, but the newest trailer had GTA enthusiasts scratching their heads. “How are people defending this? How? Do you say thank you when restaurant employees spit in your food too?” an angry fan wrote on Twitter following the update. How are people defending this? How? Do you say thank you when restaurant employees spit in your food too? https://t.co/ZcbuY8GTci — thebrickprince 亗 (@thebrickprince) September 9, 2021 A lot of the trailer was mocked, ranging from comments on the lack of visual improvements to the fact it hyped up “seamless character switching” which has existed in GTA V since launch. “This is a disgusting way to treat your community and it’s definitely not the Rockstar I once used to know,” Rockstar news reporter Videotech wrote. “I rewatched the trailer and there’s literally no differences. It looks exactly like the PC version at 4K. This is also coming from somebody who plays the game on PC at 4K with the best settings possible,” he further blasted. “This looks like a huge cashgrab unless I’m missing something.” https://twitter.com/videotech_/status/1436066739981361152 On YouTube, both Rockstar and PlayStation’s own uploads of the trailer have more dislikes than likes, effectively “ratioing” the content. It’s unclear if Rockstar has something else up their sleeves in the months ahead to really make the next-gen version of GTA V special or if this is all they have to offer. If it’s the latter, it seems like a lot of fans will be left unsatisfied and unimpressed — quite the contrary to expanded and enhanced. We will have to see what the future holds when GTA 5 drops once again, this time in March 2022.

    Andrew and Tristan Tate slam GTA 6 trailer for encouraging young gamers to “shoot police” Rockstar Games/Instagram: Andrew TateAndrew and Tristian Tate reacted to the brand new GTA 6 trailer, the two seemingly disinterested in the franchise and the way they argue it encourages young gamers to “shoot police officers.” Following the official launch of the first GTA 6 trailer, many big name streamers, celebrities, and more have been reacting to the new footage. The latest names to give their thoughts on the highly anticipated video game are none other than Andrew and Tristan Tate. During their most recent live stream on Rumble, the Tate bros. shared their thoughts on the new trailer and what they think of the GTA franchise as a whole. Right off the bat, Andrew Tate was quick to claim that he has “never played any” of the GTA games, with Tristan similarly revealing that he only ever played the first entry in the franchise back in the 90s. When Andrew asked his brother to share his thoughts on the GTA 6 trailer, Tristan was quick to slam the franchise as a whole and the content it includes. He began by prefacing that he does believe “video games aren’t necessarily evil” before then focusing on why he does not like GTA. Specifically, how a franchise that supposedly encourages crime should not exist. “I’m not a fan of anyone under the age of 18, 21 maybe, playing video games where the goal is to shoot police officers.“ Given the franchise is in fact named Grand Theft Auto, each entry does encourage players to bend the rules and, on many occasions, evade or run from police officers. Tristan then posed to the game developers that the overall focus on the game could be changed to be less encouraging of crime. “I feel like they could put a better objective into these games. Maybe you are a police officer, maybe you are trying to stop criminals.” For all the latest entertainment news and updates, be sure to check out Dexerto’s full coverage here.

  • Analysts predict GTA 6 release announcement soon as Take-Two stock gets upgrade – Dexerto

    Analysts predict GTA 6 release announcement soon as Take-Two stock gets upgrade Rockstar GamesA long-awaited GTA 6 reveal could finally be coming soon according to industry analysts who upgraded Take-Two Interactive’s stock ahead of an official announcement. GTA 6 has been rumored to be announced for ages now, with many insiders expecting a reveal before 2024 – and it appears that something could finally be coming. On November 8, Take-Two Interactive will hold its financial results for the second quarter of its fiscal year 2024, and experts expect a GTA 6 announcement of some sort in the lead-up. According to MSN, Raymond James analyst Andrew Marok has upgraded Take-Two Interactive’s stock due to the expected GTA VI reveal. Analysts expect GTA 6 release announcement Marok claimed that expectations made by Rockstar’s parent company, Take-Two, which project its net bookings will rise to $8B in fiscal year 2025, are an indication that GTA 6 will be released and players will finally return to Vice City. Release info about GTA 6 “should take away the most prominent point of uncertainty around the financial trajectory,” he said. In fact, he believes that the next Grand Theft Auto will arrive by holiday 2024 – something that has been rumored for quite a while now. That’s not all. Given the install bases of PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles, the analyst projects GTA 6 will have over 35M in unit sales during the first year it’s released. Of course, take all of this with a grain of salt until Rockstar makes any official announcements, but recent remarks by Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick have suggested that GTA 6 will indeed arrive in 2024. When asked about GTA 6’s release, Zelnick responded by reiterating the company’s “great outlook for fiscal 2025.” The news also comes as Rockstar appears to be teasing an upcoming announcement through social media posts subtly hinting at GTA VI through images.

  • Alleged GTA 6 hacker pleads not guilty to computer misuse, remains detained by police – Dexerto

    Alleged GTA 6 hacker pleads not guilty to computer misuse, remains detained by police Rockstar GamesThe teenager suspected to be behind the recent GTA 6 leaks has pleaded not guilty to the hacking charges, and is now being held in a youth crime detention center. According to Eurogamer, the 17-year-old who is suspected to be behind the GTA 6 hack has pleaded not guilty to the charges. The City of London Police’s Cyber Crime Unit spoke to Eurogamer about the situation at hand. City of London detective inspector Michael O’Sullivan issued a statement to the outlet, confirming that he had appeared in court over the past weekend. “The 17-year-old who appeared at Highbury Corner Youth Court on 24th September has pleaded guilty to breaching his bail conditions and not guilty to computer misuse.” O’Sullivan then revealed that following the court hearing, “the teenager has been remanded to a youth detention center.” Prosecutor Valerie Benjamin said in court that the suspect had used a phone to hack into companies and was “holding them to ransom” to gain access to illegally obtained software, Bloomberg Law reports. The suspect was charged with two counts of break of bail conditions as well as two counts of computer misuse. The judge referred the case to a higher court where it’ll be heard with a “similar” matter at a later date. On Sunday, September 18, one of the biggest leaks in gaming history took place, with Rockstar Games’ upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6 title having over 90 videos and images shared online – including detailed footage of the game. On Thursday, September 22, the suspected hacker was arrested by the City of London police. Since the incident took place, Rockstar has addressed the security breach, confirming that the leaked footage was real and voicing how “extremely disappointed” the dev team is “to have any details of our next game shared with you all in this way.” Other than these initial comments about the compromise and breach, Rockstar is yet to publicly comment on the court case and investigation.

  • Alleged GTA 6 actor keeps teasing fans amid official release window hint – Dexerto

    Alleged GTA 6 actor keeps teasing fans amid official release window hint Instagram: Z_man_comethBryan Zampella, the alleged actor for GTA 6’s Jason, won’t stop teasing fans about the game as Take-Two have finally revealed a released window for the game. For the longest time, details about GTA 6 were fairly thin on the game. All signs pointed to a return to Vice City, but there were different rumors about if it was going to be a modern-day setting or just a few years after the original game. Well, after massive leaks back in September, we finally got some answers. The game is set to be an up-to-date recreation of Vice City – and possibly other parts of Florida – with two protagonists, one male and one female. The male character – called Jason – is seemingly being voiced by actor Bryan Zampella, and he won’t stop teasing fans about that fact on social media. Apparent GTA 6 actor can’t stop teasing fans Over the last few months, Zampella has posted a few photos of him in GTA-like settings. Recently, he was pictured sitting underneath some palm trees in Miami, prompting fans to start asking questions about GTA 6. Since then, the voice actor has taken the ball and run with it. Eagle-eyed GTA fans noticed that, as a part of his Instagram story, he uploaded a photo of himself on the beach in an outfit that is a pretty spot-on copy of the one seen in the gameplay leaks. On top of that, he’s also been using classic Vice City songs – including Bryan Adam’s iconic hit Run To You – as well. These posts have intensified since Take-Two dropped their own hint about GTA 6’s release window, which has got fans bouncing with excitement yet again. Naturally, as GTA 6 hasn’t been announced, Zampella doesn’t have an acting credit against him related to the game yet. The biggest clue that he is actually involved is that he’s been pictured with former Rockstar employees who have praised his skills. Though, we’ll just have to wait and see.

  • Alleged GTA 6 actor has fans convinced announcement is finally coming – Dexerto

    Alleged GTA 6 actor has fans convinced announcement is finally coming Instagram: Z_man_cometh/RockstarBryan Zampella, the alleged actor behind one of GTA 6’s main characters, has been teasing a few more things that have got fans convinced something is coming soon. While Rockstar Games and Take-Two have held their cards close to their chest regarding GTA 6, fans have been doing their best to dig up any information possible. Some of these have been simple things, believing that the devs have been leaving clues in GTA Online, while others have been full-blown leaks that have landed some in legal trouble. Those leaks did also give players their best look yet at the two protagonists – a male and female – for the main story. As GTA 6 hasn’t been officially revealed, the actors haven’t yet been confirmed, but Bryan Zampella has been dropping hints that he’s playing the main male character, Jason. Apparent GTA 6 actor can’t stop teasing ‘secret’ projects The New York native hasn’t been shy in making reference to Rockstar, the GTA series, and how much he looks like the guy in the leaks. Well, he’s been back at it again, appearing on an Instagram live on June 15 alongside former Rockstar Games dev Joey Rubino. The pair didn’t waste any time in dropping hints either, referencing Rubino’s recent week on Forza Motorsport. Zampella asked him about the lineup of cars in the new Forza, before asking “Can I steal a f*cking car in this game?” Quickly, Rubino replied: “Not in this one, not in this one. That’s a different one.” Rubino hasn’t worked at Rockstar in a few years, with his LinkedIn having him last working there in 2016. Though, the pair suggested they would be linked for a long time, adding fuel to the fire around the rumors. “It’s clearly a teaser for GTA 6,” commented one fan. “We have officially entered the GTA 6 marketing phase,” added another. “Thanks for those hints, now I’m more excited lol.” Others aren’t so convinced, though. “No way Rockstar would want their main character voice actor just teasing the game that they have kept so under wraps for the last decade,” said another. As noted, it remains to be seen if Zampella is officially involved with GTA 6, but that’ll probably be a while off yet.

  • Alleged GTA 6 actor fuels announcement trailer rumors with cryptic post – Dexerto

    Alleged GTA 6 actor fuels announcement trailer rumors with cryptic post Rockstar GamesAn alleged GTA 6 voice actor is sparking more speculation about an official announcement from Rockstar after posting a cryptic photo to social media. Grand Theft Auto fans across the world are anticipating Rockstar Games to finally unveil GTA 6 after months of hype about the next installment in the popular franchise. As fans eagerly await news ahead of Take-Two’s investor call this month, sleuths have been keeping an eye on the social media accounts of one of the game’s supposed actors, Bryan Zampella, the voice of protagonist Jason. Ever since the infamous GTA 6 gameplay leaks showing off Vice City and other details, Bryan Zampella has been pinpointed as the actor, and on May 13, he posted a photo that has the internet convinced something big is happening. GTA 6 fans think an announcement is being teased On Instagram, Zampella uploaded a photo of himself in Miami while wearing a Hawaiian shirt. As we know, Vice City is a stand-in for Miami in GTA 6 and fans aren’t taking that as a mere coincidence. “Ya’ll teasing so hard, it’s not fair bro!” one fan commented. The rumor soon spread to Reddit where others joined in with their own speculation on the potential teaser. “He’s wearing a Hawaiian shirt, the recent Take-Two Interactive supposed deal, and the fact that the PlayStation Showcase is around the corner?! This is going to be nuts,” a user wrote. It should be noted that so far, no PlayStation Showcase has been announced and it’s unclear if Rockstar would reveal the game at the Sony event, but that didn’t stop the speculation from mounting. “They are big enough to reveal something on their own terms, and it actually benefits them to not share the media spotlight with other game reveals,” another commented. “I fully believe GTA VI is getting announced at the end of the summer, but it’s definitely not through a PlayStation Showcase,” said someone else. This news does come, however, as Take-Two is reportedly planning a massive marketing campaign in Miami. Additionally, a reporter recently teased that GTA 6 will be a “forever moment” after meeting with Rockstar boss Strauss Zelnick. We’ll have to wait and see if GTA 6 does in fact get announced in the days and weeks ahead as fans continue to anxiously await an official reveal from Rockstar.

  • All new vehicles coming in GTA Online: Cluckin’ Bell Farm raid patch update – Dexerto

    All new vehicles coming in GTA Online: Cluckin’ Bell Farm raid patch update Rockstar GamesGTA Online is finally getting a new heist in the form of the Cluckin’ Bell Farm Raid, and it’s set to bring a host of new vehicles with it. Here’s what you need to know. Even though plenty of Rockstar Games’ focus is on GTA 6 and seemingly releasing that in early 2025, GTA Online is still getting some love from the Grand Theft Auto devs. The multiplayer side of GTA 5 has continued to get weekly updates, with some introducing new vehicles in recent weeks. We’ve also had new jobs, races, and a few events to boot as well. However, they aren’t as exciting as the Cluckin’ Bell Farm Raid. That raid is the game’s newest heist, and the first one to be added since the Cayo Perico heist at the end of 2020. Naturally, it’ll also bring some new vehicles with it as well, and that includes one of the most highly-anticipated cars – the Bravado Gauntlet Interceptor. All cars coming in GTA Online Cluckin’ Bell Farm Raid The Bravado Gauntlet Interceptor is a part of the new set of ownable police vehicles that players have been able to purchase and customize for the last few months. Though, it won’t come cheap. According to Need for Madness Auto, it’ll set you back $4,065,000 before upgrades. On top of that, we’ve also seen at least two other new vehicles in the trailer for the heist, including the Vapid Benson. Given it’s coming in the Cluckin’ Bell Farm Raid, you’ll be able to customize it with the restaurant’s livery. There is also the previously leaked Canis Terminus, an off-road jeep that will have Imani Tech. Though, like the Benson, there isn’t a confirmed price. As is typical with new heists, there should be drip-fed vehicles that come way after the update goes live. So, hopefully, we’ll have more cars than just these three before long. It is also unconfirmed just how much we’ll earn from completing the new raid, but we’re expecting to be grinding it a few times to buy everything.

  • Twitch streamers on NoPixel 3.0 GTA RP Server: Shroud, xQc, Sykkuno, more – Dexerto

    Twitch streamers on NoPixel 3.0 GTA RP Server: Shroud, xQc, Sykkuno, more Twitch: xQc/RockstarTwitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has revealed some of the streamers who will be diving into NoPixel 3.0 for a bit of GTA RP once the update goes live, giving us a pretty complete list. In recent weeks, some of Twitch’s biggest stars have been swapping their usual content for a spot of roleplaying. This has come in OfflineTV’s Rust server, but that recently went on a hiatus. The Rust server is set to make a return with its Season 3 update, but it’s also launching around the same time as the NoPixel 3.0 update for GTA RP. NoPixel is, easily GTA RP’s biggest server, and the changes are pretty significant, meaning there’s plenty of content for streamers to dive into. And it looks like some of the biggest names on Twitch will have got an invite to join the fun. Twitch streamers in NoPixel 3.0 GTA RP During his February 1 stream, xQc had been going over some clips from his regular Reddit Recap when he saw one from Nick ‘nmplol’ Polom talking about streamers who’ll be playing on NoPixel. “Let’s see who is in the server: Bnans, Esfand, Garrett, KaceyTron, Ludwig, MoonMoon, Minx, Mizkif, myself, shroud, Roflgator, Judd, Sodapoppin, Surefour, Meech,” said Nick. xQc filled a few of the blanks quickly after, revealing more names. “Sykkuno, Trainwrecks, Neff, QD, Nymn,” said the Canadian as some viewers joked he’d leaked the details. “Guys, it’s not a leak. Yeah, I’m invited, I’m in it right now” he added, reeling off more names. “Garrett, Moist, Blastoise, Forsen is here.” No doubt, other streamers will likely get involved as well. The last time GTA RP exploded in popularity on Twitch, plenty of streamers joined different servers to join in with the fun. However, NoPixel is in the spotlight this time because of its massive update, as well as the timing of going live near the Rust update – which shroud believes might affect the Rust server negatively. Though, we’ll just have to wait and see what the streamers are feeling.

  • All Signal Jammer locations for GTA Diamond Casino heist – Dexerto

    All Signal Jammer locations for GTA Diamond Casino heist Grand Theft Auto Online‘s Diamond Casino Heist is now available to play in GTA 5 and if you’re wondering where to find all of the signal jammer locations, you have come to the right place. Rockstar Games have been building up towards the launch of the brand new heist for quite some time, which will task players with putting together a team that plays like a well-oiled machine to knock out mission after mission. There’s the option to unlock a helping hand along the way, too, as character Avi Schwartzman can be added to your crew as a member. However, to do that, you’re going to need to find all of the different signal jammers that are dotted around the map and destroy them. How to unlock Avi Schwartzman for the GTA Casino heist Reddit user MadMaxxx123 has put in the milage, hard work and effort to create a very useful map for this challenge, which no doubt took them a pretty long time to complete, numbering every single place you can find a signal jammer in GTA 5. There are 50 in total, spanning from Los Santos right the way across to Blaine County, as well as those places in between – as seen in the graphic below, posted to the GTA Online subreddit on December 13. Let’s call it an early Christmas present. As the map shows, the highest concentration of these jammers can be found in Los Santos and the nearby surrounding areas, but they’re pretty well spread across the island. While that might sound like a driver’s dream, that does mean that almost every road – or blade of grass depending on how bad you drive – will have to be covered in order to complete the challenge. There’s more at stake than just Avi Schwartzman as well. By destroying all of these jammers you will be handed a bonus of $150,000 and 50,000 RP in-game, making it very much worth your while.

  • All secret changes from GTA Online’s summer update – Dexerto

    All secret changes from GTA Online’s summer update Rockstar GamesGrand Theft Auto Online’s Los Santos Summer Special update is live on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC, but there are a few secrets changes that might take you a little while to notice. After weeks of waiting, Rockstar Games finally rolled out their annual summer update back on August 11. GTA Online fans were finally given a whole host of new jobs, races, vehicles, and the high-rollers even have a use for their Galaxy Super Yachts. While the majority of these changes were included in the official patch notes on the Rockstar Newswire, and some are shown on the game’s loading screens, there are a few you might have missed. They aren’t really major changes, more so just small quality of life tweaks, but they are useful to know anyway. Casino daily wheel countdown alert The first small change that is easy to notice following the summer update is the small notification you receive when its time to use the spin wheel at the casino. That’s right, you don’t have to go up to the wheel to see if it’s your time to spin. As soon as you approach and enter the casino, a small box will pop up above the mini-map if you are eligible for a spin at that time. If you’re not able to spin the wheel, you’ll just have to wait until the time comes and then head back to the casino. You will get an on-screen countdown now, though. No more constant calls from LJT Certain mission givers will now no longer call you constantly in regards to their jobs or your business. Sadly, this isn’t the end for Bryony and Arena War, but rather LJT. The business helper will now just text you in regards to your illegal businesses. This means that, yes, you will have to keep an eye on the screen but your phone won’t be ringing off the hook when he’s asking you to upgrade the business equipment. Updated Arcade games and rewards If you’re one of the lucky Los Santos residents to own an Arcade, there are a few changes that you can take advantage of.

You can also buy the Axe of Fury cabinet. If you complete the needed challenges, you’ll also unlock new trophies for your arcade’s trophy cabinet. New cars liveries In terms of customizing cars, the new Penumbra FF has an anime livery. Yes, that’s right, a new anime livery. It is the only new car with that option though. The two new Formula 1 cars can also be customized prior to Open Wheel Races to look like some real-life F1 cars. You can recreate the newer orange McLaren’s as well as the 2008 silver cars, and use a similar livery to the modern Mercedes. As players dive further into the Summer Special update, more and more secrets tweaks are likely to be found. If you find some of your own, be sure to let us know on Twitter @GTA_Intel.

  • All new vehicles in GTA Online: Bottom Dollar Bounties update – Dexerto

    All new vehicles in GTA Online: Bottom Dollar Bounties update Rockstar GamesGTA Online’s Summer 2024 update has finally been launched with Bottom Dollar Bounties, and we’re going to get a whole host of new vehicles. Here’s what you need to know. Each year, GTA Online typically has two big updates that you can pencil into your calendar – a winter update and one in the summer. The summer update has, at times, been a little underwhelming compared to the winter one, but that’s a bit different this year. Rockstar has confirmed that we’ll be getting a new bounty-hunting business with the aptly named Bottom Dollar Bounties update. There will also be new bits of work for Vincent, and some much-needed quality-of-life changes as well. The update will also be good news for anyone who wants to add more police-themed cars to their garages as well, as it’s been confirmed that we’ll get a handful of cars with cop liveries. GTA Bottom Dollar Bounties: All new Legendary Motorsports cars When Rockstar confirmed that we’d be getting a big summer update this year, they announced that there would be a new supercar – the Överflöd Pipistrello. This is part of the six cars that have dropped on Legendary Motorsport on day one of the update. The Överflöd Pipistrello is most expensive at nearly $3,000,000 but you can get it for free if you’re a GTA+ Member. GTA Online Bottom Dollar Bounties: All new Warstock Cache & Carry cars Warstock is home to three new police-themed cars too, including the Dorado Crusier, Greenwood, and Impaler SZ Cruiser. The Dorado is the most expensive at $5,005,000, but you can shave around $1,500,000 off that with it’s trade price – which is a more reasonable $3,753,750. GTA Online Bottom Dollar Bounties: All new Southern San Andreas Super Autos cars If you’re someone who prefers to get their cars from Southern San Andreas Super Autos, well, you may have to wait a little bit with the Bottom Dollar Bounties update. The Declasse Yosemite 1500 is the only new car at launch, and clocks in at $1,025,000. As ever, a number of these cars will likely be kept for the drip feed process that follows any new update. So, we should see more options on Southern San Andreas Super Autos before long. A few of these have been leaked, but we don’t have concrete details on their prices or release date, so we’ll just have to wait a little bit until Rockstar drops them in-game.

Southern San Andreas Super Autos If speed isn’t the be-all and end-all for you, and you’d rather look stylish on the road, well you’re probably going to shop at Southern San Andreas Super Autos instead.

These are much cheaper than their Legendary Motorsports counterparts, clocking in with respective price tags of $442,500-$590,000, $592,500-$790,000, and $1,658,000. The MTL Brickade 6×6 and Declasse Tahoma Coupe will also be a part of this update, with the Brickade likely being available from the Warstock Cache and Carry site.

Here’s everything you need to know. Even though the whole gaming world has been obsessing over the Grand Theft Auto 6 reveal, Rockstar Games have still been cracking on with a sizable winter update for GTA Online. The 2023 winter update – also known as the Chop Shop update – isn’t as big as some previous years – there’s no new heist this time around, sadly – but there is a new Salvage Yard business, a whole host of new missions, a new weapon, and, of course, some new vehicles. Upon announcing the update, Rockstar confirmed only one of these new vehicles – the Grotti Turismo Omaggio – which is styled on the real-life Ferrari F8 Tributo. The supercar is one of the vehicles coming on day one, with a host of drip-feed cars to come. Legendary Motorsports Even though Legendary Motorsports typically has the best cars in GTA Online, it usually doesn’t have too many new cars available on day one of an update. It’s the same story this time around too, with the Grotti Turismo Omaggio – $2,845,000 – and the Vapid Aleutian – $1,835,000 – now being available. Southern San Andreas Super Autos On the flip side, Southern San Andreas Super Autos has the most day-one vehicles in the Chop Shop update with six new cars available to buy.

These new cars include the Vapid Dominator GT – $2,195,000 -, the Declasse Vigero ZX – $2,295,000 -, the Declasse Impaler LX – $1,465,000 -, the Fathom FR56 – $1,610,000 -, the Karin Vivanite – $1,605,000 -, and the Karin Asterope GZ – $459,000.

The unmarked version will set you back between $3,950,000 and $2,962,500, the actual liveried version is between $4,690,000 and $3,517,000, and the Police Riot van costs between $4,800,000 and $3,600,000. As noted, there are a handful of drip-feed cars to be released over the coming weeks – with the majority of these likely coming to Legendary Motorsports and Southern San Andreas Super Autos.

Back in December, they dropped the Los Santos Drug Wars update. That brought a host of new missions, a new business, and new vehicles to the game.

This new Grotti has also been joined by the highly-anticipated Bravado Buffalo EVX. It’ll set you back $2,140,000. Southern San Andreas Super Autos While there’s only one new car at Legendary Motorsports, competitor Southern San Andreas Super Autos has four on offer. These are the Maibatsu MonstroCiti, Vapid Clique Wagon, the Declasse Walton L35, and the Vapid Ratel – an off-roader. Price-wise, these are not cheap, at $1,485,000, $1,205,000, $1,670,000 and $1,873,000, respectively. However, the MonstroCiti can be snagged for free, for GTA+ Subscribers.

  • All new GTA Online next-gen exclusive vehicles & prices – Dexerto

    All new GTA Online next-gen exclusive vehicles & prices Rockstar GamesGrand Theft Auto Online’s next-gen update is finally here, and Rockstar has added some exclusive cars for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S owners. So, here’s what you need to know. When Sony and Microsoft both announced their next generation of consoles, it didn’t take the Grand Theft Auto community long to make quips about seeing GTA 5 on a third generation of systems. It didn’t take long at all for those jokes to become reality, as Rockstar Games confirmed that GTA 5 and GTA Online would both be getting some love on the new consoles in the form of visual upgrades and a bit of new content. When it comes to GTA Online, that new content comes in the form of vehicle upgrades, new mechanics, and even a handful of new cars that are exclusive to the next-gen update. Legendary Motorsport That’s right, with the GTA Online next-gen update finally out, players on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S can spend their hard-earned virtual cash on some new rides. As it stands, on March 14, only five new cars have been added to the mix – with each of the in-game car websites receiving at least one new exclusive vehicle. In the case of Legendary Motorsport, there are two new cars to purchase, which are the Coil Cyclone II and the Pfister Astron Custom. Though, neither of them come particularly cheap. Coil Cyclone II – $2,250,000 – Pfister Astron Custom – $1,720,000 – Southern San Andreas Super Autos Similarly, Southern San Andreas Super Autos has also got two new cars in stock in the form of the Imponte Arbiter GT and Karin S95. Again, both cars have price tags well into the million-dollar range but they’re a solid way to flex that you’re playing on the next-gen update. Imponte Arbiter GT – $1,580,000 – Karin S95 – $1,995,000 – Warstock Cache & Carry The most expensive of the new cars – Weaponized Ignus – however, is listed on Warstock Cache & Carry, and is the website’s only new vehicle to date. If you’ve got the cash, it’ll set you back over $3,000,000 but as the ‘weaponized’ name suggests, it’ll do some serious damage to anyone you come across in Los Santos. Weaponized Ignus – $3,245,000 – As ever with GTA Online, it is very likely that Rockstar will start drip-feeding more vehicles out as a part of the next-gen update. Just when that’ll be, however, remains to be seen. But, keep checking back as we’ll keep this page updated once the new cars hit the stores.

The second can be found on the Arcade bar. If you don’t own an Arcade yourself, you can simply go into another player’s Arcade. To find the third Media Stick, you’ll need to head to the Casino and go up to the roof terrace. It’s on a table. The fourth and final Media Stick can be found at the new Car Meet Warehouse, on a table near the customization area. Collecting each Media Stick in GTA Online will unlock a new EP for you to listen to in the Media Player while in your car. These are the Violet EP, the Green EP, the Blue EP, and the Black EP.

The CircoLoco Tee will appear in your wardrobe under Tops and Labels. It’s nothing fancy, just a grey t-shirt with a pink logo on it, but it’s another free item to add to your collection – and will show off your status as a completionist.

  • All GTA Online vehicle price changes (April 2023) – Dexerto

    All GTA Online vehicle price changes (April 2023) Rockstar GamesRockstar Games have finally made a number of price changes to popular vehicles in GTA Online, and it’s bad news if you haven’t already bought an Oppressor Mk II. Over the last few months, Rockstar Games have been making some changes to GTA Online – some subtle, some big – as they try to bring a bit of freshness to Los Santos. These changes have ranged from just graphical improvement to brand-new missions. They’ve also targeted vehicles a little bit too, adjusting the speed of some long-standing favorites while also adding new ones alongside fresh updates. On top of that, Rockstar stated in early April that they would also be considering some price changes for vehicles, which would include the powerful Oppressor Mk II – the weapon of choice for trolls in public lobbies. GTA Online vehicle price changes (April 2023) Well, after a short period of waiting, these changes have now come into play, as 16 vehicles – some cars, some airplanes, and helicopters – have had their prices adjusted. Some of these, including the Oppressor Mk II, have seen their prices rise because they are a bit too powerful in-game. Others, such as the Imponte Ruiner 2000 and RM-10 Bombushka, have seen their prices lowered to make them accessible to more players. You can see all the changes, which have been made in the April 27 weekly update, below: Brute Armored Boxville: GTA$1,300,000 – Buckingham Akula: GTA$4,500,000 – Declasse Granger 3600LX: GTA$2,000,000 – Declasse Scramjet: GTA$4,000,000 – Dewbauchee Champion: GTA$3,750,000 – HVY Chernobog: GTA$1,500,000 – Imponte Deluxo: GTA$5,750,000 – Imponte Ruiner 2000: GTA$3,750,000 – Mammoth Thruster: GTA$2,500,000 – Mammoth Tula: GTA$4,100,000 – Ocelot Stromberg: GTA$2,500,000 – Pegassi Oppressor: GTA$2,750,000 – Pegassi Oppressor Mk II: GTA$8,000,000 – Pegassi Toreador: GTA$4,250,000 – Pegassi Weaponized Ignus: GTA$4,500,000 – RM-10 Bombushka: GTA$4,750,000 – Rockstar have already said that they’re willing to make further price changes down the line, and haven’t ruled out the fact that the ones listed above could be re-tuned too. We’ll just have to wait and see if anything becomes so out of hand that they do need to make further changes, though.

  • All GTA Online Summer Update vehicles and prices revealed – Dexerto

After plenty of hype and speculation, GTA Online’s annual summer update is now to be downloaded. The new patch adds a whole host of new missions across Los Santos, including Open Wheel Races, Business Battles, and more. On top of that, though, Rockstar have also added a whole host of new cars to the mix. Spread across the Southern San Andreas Super Autos, Legendary Motorsports, and Benny’s Original Motorworks, there are 15 new cars to buy. So, here’s everything you need to know about them, including just how much they’re going to set you back when you hit the buy button. Legendary Motorsports – Los Santos Summer Special cars Legendary Motorsports is the website where you can find the absolute best cars in GTA Online. The website is home to the speed demons of Los Santos, and the Summer Special update expands on that. Read More: How to email players in GTA Online – There are four new cars in total, with two of these – the BR8 and DR1 – being styled on F1 cars. These will cost $3,400,000 and $2,997,000 respectively. As for the other two cars, these are the sporty Lampadti Tigon and the Invetero Coquette D10. Again, these two are not cheap – clocking in at $1,510,000 and $2,310,000 respectively. Southern San Andreas Super Autos – Los Santos Summer Special cars If you’re more of a Sunday driver who just wants to get around the city without bringing attention to yourself, Southern San Andreas Super Autos is the place to shop. In the Summer Special update, the website has five new cars available. These include the Canis Seminole Frontier, Dundready Landstalker, and BF Club. These will cost $678,000, $1,220,000, and $1,280,000 respectively. The other two cars, the Maibatsu Penumbra FF and Imponte Beater Dukes, have hugely different price tags.

Benny’s Original Motorworks – Los Santos Summer Special cars The final six new cars from the Summer Special update are found on Benny’s Original Motorworks website, so you already know that they’re incredibly customizable. These are the Bravado Gauntlet, Bravado Youga, Benefactor Glen, Declasse Yosemite, Vaid Peyote, and the Albany Manana. The prices for these cars vary quite a decent bit too. The Gauntlet is the most expensive at $615,000, Yosemite costs $485,000, Glen is $200,000, Youga is a cool $195,000, while the Peyote and Manana cost $38,000 and $10,000. Unlike previous updates, these cars are available once you drop into the Los Santos Summer Special update. There is no drip feeding this around. Some of these prices will no doubt change in the future, but for now, make sure your Maze Bank account is topped up if you want to go on a spending spree.

  • All GTA Online Street Dealer payouts: 2x GTA$ for Los Santos Drug Wars – Dexerto

    All GTA Online Street Dealer payouts: 2x GTA$ for Los Santos Drug Wars Rockstar GamesTrying to make some cash during the 2x GTA$ & RP event? Here are all the Street Dealer payouts for the four items in the Los Santos Drug Wars feature. Anyone who has played GTA Online for even a small amount of time will know how important money is to each character. So much of what makes Los Santos special is locked behind some kind of in-game currency paywall, so it’s vital to stack up if you want to enjoy everything the city has to offer. That’s why Rockstar has added so many ways for players to earn cash, and while the usual methods of grinding heists are perfectly acceptable, there are smaller & quicker ways to earn some money as well. One of the easiest ways is to take advantage of limited-time boosts like this one, in which Street Dealers will pay way more for their usual hand-to-hand deals. All Street Dealers payouts in GTA Online’s 2x GTA$ event This breakdown was put together by TezFunz2 on Twitter and allows players to see what each drug will move for each day until Wednesday, March 29, when the event ends. Each price will vary, with each dealer having a special deal every day, and these tables make it easy to see what to prioritize and what to skip each day. (Click here to view if the embed below is not viewable.) No individual number here is likely to blow people away, but as quick fixes of cash go, this will help pad out any overspending you might do while breezing through the latest chapter of the game. It’s not the only way to make quick money though. If you’re looking for more ways to inch closer to being a virtual billionaire, check out our other GTA Online guides and updates here.

  • All GTA Online ghost locations for Ghosts Exposed collectibles & $250k reward – Dexerto

    All GTA Online ghost locations for Ghosts Exposed collectibles & $250k reward GTA SeriesGTA Online players will enjoy a Ghostbusters-style livery this month, as well as a cash reward of $250k, for finishing the spooky Ghosts Exposed collectible hunt in the annual Halloween event. Here’s everything you should know. Whenever a real-world holiday comes around, Rockstar Games goes pretty hard to celebrate it in GTA Online. For example, every Christmas you can expect to see snow on the ground and get free presents. When it comes to Halloween, though, things are a little more sinister. As you’d expect. There are phantom cars driving around, just looking to ruin your day, and you can also expect some close encounters of a third kind with UFOs. That’s not all, though. With this year’s Halloween celebrations coming around, Rockstar have added a Ghost Hunting event that you can complete to earn $250,000 and a Ghostbusters-themed livery for the all-new Albany Brigham. Here’s everything you need to know. GTA Online Ghosts Exposed collectible: All ghost locations The Ghost Hunting event is pretty similar to previous things that Rockstar have done, as there is a time limit on it. You’ve got to photograph nine different ghosts in the northern part of Los Santos – well, around Sandy Shores – but each ghost will only be around for an hour of in-game time. So, that means you’ve got two minutes to find each one. It is possible to knock the ten off in one go, but as GTA Series points out, you’ll pretty much need the Oppressor to do so. Once you’ve photographed all nine, you’ll then have to photograph a tenth – Johnny Klebitz from The Lost MC in the part of Sandy Shores where Trevor stamped on his head. All spawns for Ghosts Exposed collectibles in GTA Online Each ghost has two spawn locations around the main area where they’ll appear and these are typically pretty close to each other. You won’t have to stress about using your two minutes to go on a wild goose chase. Again, thanks to GTA Series, we have each ghost and its alternate spawn. Ghost 1 – Front side of the barn or back side of the barn – Ghost 2 – Windows in a trailer – Ghost 3 – Outside the rusted bus or inside the bus – Ghost 4 – At the bottom of the lighthouse looking at the water or on the top of lighthouse – Ghost 5 – On top of the overhand above the door or in the window of the rear of the house – Ghost 6 – Floating above a grave or on the top of the church roof – Ghost 7 – In the crack of the roof or in the window behind the house – Ghost 8 – On the right side of the waterfall or the left side – Ghost 9 – On top of the train tunnel or next to the parachute spawn on the bridge – All Ghosts Exposed GTA Online rewards Once you spot each ghost, you simply have to take a photo of them, they’ll disappear and you’ll get the Ghosts Exposed message on-screen. Each ghost is worth $20,000 and once you’ve collected all 10, you’ll get a bonus $50,000 in your bank. That makes $250,000 in total. Plus, you get a Ghostbusters-themed livery for the Albany Brigham – complete with a horn. This event is only going to be around for the Halloween celebrations, so act fast, or you’ll be haunted by the fact you didn’t get the rewards.

  • All GTA Online Cayo Perico heist update vehicles and prices revealed – Dexerto

    All GTA Online Cayo Perico heist update vehicles and prices revealed Rockstar GamesThe GTA Online Cayo Perico heist update is here and on top of the new heist and nightclub, there are nine new vehicles to get your hands on – with plenty more coming soon. After lots of hype and speculation, GTA Online’s annual winter update is now live and can be downloaded. The focus of the new patch is, of course, the Cayo Perico heist where you can steal millions from El Rubio. On top of that, though, Rockstar have also added a handful of new vehicles to the game – including the $2,000,000 submarine which will be used to co-ordinate the heist. More vehicles will release over time, so take that into consideration before splashing the cash. So, here’s everything you need to know about them, including just how much they’re going to set you back when you hit the buy button. GTA Online Cayo Perico update new boats Even though Cayo Perico is not accessible in free roam, there are a handful of new boats for you to get so that you can sail the high seas and do battle. That includes the Kurtz 31 gunboat, which was showcased in the trailer for the heist. The gunboat is priced at between $2,216,250 and $2,995,000 depending on what upgrade you want. Additionally, there is also a new speedboat called the Longfin which is available from Dock Tease. It’s trade price is $1,593,750 but if you don’t have access to that, be prepared to spend $2,125,000. All new planes & helicopters in GTA Online Cayo Perico update If taking to the sky is more your thing, there is a new helicopter and new plane available in the Cayo Perico update via Warstock Cache and Carry. These include the Annihilator helicopter which is priced at $2,902,500 and will work similarly to the police helicopter that has been available in GTA Online for quite some time. There is also the Sparrow helicopter, which can actually be stored on the Kosatka submarine. New cars from GTA Online Cayo Perico update As of writing, Grand Theft Auto Online developers have are keeping their cards close to their chest regarding new cars in Los Santos, adding only one in the Cayo Perico heist update – the Toreador. This new car is available from Warstock Cache and Carry for $3,660,000 and can be seen above in the screenshot from GTAGFX. As previously noted, there will be plenty of new cars that are drip-fed over time, so you’ll just have to keep checking the different in-game stores to see what’s been released and when. Some of these prices will more than likely be changed in the future, so if you’re hurting for cash, you can hold on for just a little bit. Plus, there’s always the chance that they’re available on the Diamond Casino spin wheel at some point in the future too, so you could even get them for free.

  • All GTA 6 locations and events possibly revealed in major leaks – Dexerto

    All GTA 6 locations and events possibly revealed in major leaks New information discovered in the huge GTA 6 developmental footage gameplay leak may have revealed all of the locations in Vice City and events from the game. For months now, Rockstar Games has remained quiet on all things related to GTA 6, despite fans anxiously awaiting an official reveal and trailer since the game was first announced. Although Rockstar has remained mum, a massive series of leaks from 2022 finally showed fans what the game studio had been working on, confirming a return to Vice City, a female protagonist, and more. Hidden in that footage appears to be a list of locations and events coming to the game and in a series of posts, fans who combed through the leaks compiled everything they saw. GTA 6 towns and cities leaked In a thread on Reddit, user ‘tusstaster’ compiled a list of every city and town in GTA 6 along with locations inside of them. In total, 12 cities and towns were found in the files with the main one being Vice City, but there are plenty of others worth noting. The full list consists of: Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia, Redhill, LO, Sundown, Copperhead, Yorktown, Lake Leonida, Ekanfinika, Hamlet, and Domed Hills. Additionally, there are some special locations such as a couple of strip malls, a forest, a beach plaza, and even drag strips. Of course, that’s all that fans know so far. It’s certainly possible that more will be added as development continues or are added as DLC, as rumored by insiders. GTA 6 events leak reveals UFOs, gangs and clubs In four other threads, the user showcased over 1,000 events in GTA 6, which should add a ton of fuel to the speculation fire. Of note, there are numerous drug labs, including ones in RVs that could be Breaking Bad references, suggesting that drugs will play a key role. Other big ones include Warehouse Sex Robots, a sobriety test, Malibu Club, numerous gang encounters, romance options, heists, a Bonnie & Clyde mystery, crime scenes, and UFOs. If you were already hyped for GTA 6, this new leak should send your excitement level to the moon. Of course, it’s possible that not everything here gets added to the finished product, but we can’t wait to see what Rockstar has in store. With rumors suggesting that GTA 6 could finally be revealed this year ahead of a planned 2024 release, hopefully, we won’t have long to wait before we can return to Vice City.

  • Alien invasion coming soon to GTA Online? Clues, leaks, more – Dexerto

    Alien invasion coming soon to GTA Online? Clues, leaks, more @FoxySnaps / TwitterRockstar Games appear to have dropped their biggest hint yet that a brand new Grand Theft Auto Online event is coming soon and it might be bringing an alien invasion with it. GTA 5 was first released over six years ago and while many fans are interested to find out more about the new installment to the franchise, the game’s developers appear to be building towards something very different. Players quickly found what appeared to be an alien easter egg back in 2013 when the game launched, as it was seen underneath some solid ice, but not much has been said about any sci-fi content since. Until now. There has been a new discovery following the August 15 content update, after some players discovered a very interesting poster had been hung on a trailer. It states: “Los Santos 2020,” with an alien creature standing next to the text. User galmaman96 first posted an image of the poster to the GTA Online subreddit, which has attracted a lot of attention among the game’s online community. So, we jumped in-game to take a look for ourselves and yes, it’s there. That’s not the only clue, either. A leaked Alien Invasion Survival event mode has been reportedly found in the GTA Online game files, which gives these theories a bit more weight – as seen below. The leak, discovered by The Game File Gurus and posted to GTA Forums, could indicate that Rockstar are actually going to do something alien related in the online mode very soon. The leaker claims that new information regarding aliens landing were added much earlier than the August update mentioned earlier, though, dating back to July 25 when the Diamond Casino and Resort first opened its doors. An alien invasion was added to the game with the #GTAO Casino update. It seems to be a survival mode. Alien eggs as health. Omega PowerCell as Armor. Weapons added in #GTAO AW update are used here. “”ANIM@SPECIAL_PEDS@ALIEN_LANDING”

  • Diehard fan sends Rockstar hilarious GTA 6 message at AEW Dynamite – Dexerto

    Diehard fan sends Rockstar hilarious GTA 6 message at AEW Dynamite Instagram: AllEliteWrestling / Rockstar GamesWrestling fans are getting more and more creative with their signs as a member of the latest AEW Dynamite crowd just took an opportunity to send a clear message to Rockstar Games, demanding an update on Grand Theft Auto 6. Wrestling and gaming culture continues to overlap in new ways. While we’ve previously seen wrestling superstars added to some of the biggest games, fans in the crowd are now getting in on the gaming crossovers. As AEW took to Chicago for the go-home episode of Dynamite ahead of All Out, the NOW Arena got a little creative in its own right. One particular fan brought a unique sign into the venue, one that had nothing to do with wrestling. “Announce GTA VI” the sign read, sending a clear message to Rockstar Games. As one of the fastest-growing weekly shows on TV today, AEW typically brings in roughly a million US eyeballs during the initial broadcast. When international and replay viewers are factored in, that’s a ton of potential exposure to the GTA message. Whether a Rockstar employee was actually tuned in, however, remains a mystery. Though there’s no denying it’s an innovative way to try and reach the dev team. This isn’t the first time an AEW crowd has been spotted with some form of gaming discourse on their signs. In fact, it appears to be morphing into an increasingly popular trend. Weeks ago we saw crowds going back and forth in a heated Persona 5 debate. We’ve even seen Final Fantasy fans getting in on the fun as well. Amusingly enough, this isn’t even the first time a GTA 6 message has hijacked a TV show this week. Just days prior a Rockstar fanatic crashed a German broadcast to air out his frustrations with the silence around GTA 6.

Adin Ross is pretty well-known for his over-the-top purchases, including paying $200,000 for an “unreleased” Kanye & Travis Scott song that turned out to be AI-generated. Now, he’s setting his sights on GTA 6. Following news that Rockstar Games would finally be unveiling the first trailer for GTA VI in early December, the internet has blown up with speculation about what it will feature and when the game will be released. Adin Ross, who has been hyped for the upcoming game like many others, decided to offer a small fortune to anyone who could get him GTA VI early, but viewers were quick to let him know that his plan could backfire. Adin Ross offers $500K for early GTA 6 copy In response to the Adin Ross updates X account posting about how the Kick star is offering $500K to play GTA 6, fans began slamming the streamer. “Bro going get scammed again,” mocked one user, referencing the $200K Kanye song fiasco. “Dude is literally begging to be scammed at this point,” another joked. “Bro spends 200k on AI song, 2 million on gambling, and 500k on early cop of GTA 6… Does he invest in things that will make him money or how does this work?” someone else chimed in. Bro spends 200k on AI song, 2 million on gambling, and 500k on early cop of GTA 6… — Dan (@dan_thedon) November 8, 2023 Does he invest in things that will make him money or how does this work Others pointed out that acquiring an early copy of GTA 6 could result in a hefty lawsuit from Rockstar and warned him not to follow through with the deal. Hopefully, we won’t have long to wait for the next Grand Theft Auto game to finally arrive, but at least we’re confirmed to get our first official look at it in just a few short weeks.

  • Adin Ross hits out at Twitch ‘double standards’ after ban for GTA RP stream – Dexerto

    Adin Ross hits out at Twitch ‘double standards’ after ban for GTA RP stream YouTube: Adin Live / Rockstar GamesAdin Ross has called out Twitch’s ‘hot tub meta’ after being banned from the platform for producing some risqué GTA RP content. Originally an NBA 2K content creator, Adin Ross has blown up in 2021 to become one of Twitch’s biggest streamers and has since branched out into other games. Nowadays, you’re most likely to catch him on the SSB GTA RP server, where he last averaged a staggering 75,000 viewers as he rampaged around Los Santos. However, he got up to some controversial activities which have resulted in a ban from Twitch. While Twitch doesn’t usually reveal the reasons for banning streamers, Ross believes he was banned for producing a controversial piece of RP on the SSB server, which involved two kneeling female characters. After the stream concluded, it was announced Twitch had banned Ross from the platform for the third time overall and the second time in two months, after a guest made an inappropriate comment during an April stream. He didn’t hold back in slamming hot tub streams in his response after the latest ban. “You can be 75% naked, ass and t*ts out… purposely flaunting… but can’t roleplay some s**t in a GTA pixelated video game,” he said. “S**t is weird.” Ross then called for fans to tweet the hashtag #freeadin and publicized the appeal on both his Twitter and TikTok accounts. You can be 75% naked , ass n tits out … purposely flaunting… but can’t Roleplay some shit in a gta pixelated video game. Shit is weird 😂 #freeadin — adin (@adinross) May 29, 2021 The hot tub meta has been the biggest talking point on Twitch in 2021, with the platform permitting streamers to wear exposing clothing in certain circumstances, such as in pools and hot tubs. Read More: Sykkuno hints at moving on from GTA RP – Eventually, Twitch created the pools, hot tubs, and beaches category, which has seen streamers with an inclination towards hot tubs, such as Alinity and Amouranth, move out of the Just Chatting category. While Adin’s ban is unlikely to be permanent, it is not yet known when he will be returning to Twitch and back roleplaying on the streets of Los Santos once again.

  • Adin Ross claims he’s in GTA 6 after trailer releases early – Dexerto

    Adin Ross claims he’s in GTA 6 after trailer releases early Rockstar, Adin RossKick star Adin Ross has claimed that he’s playing a role in Grand Theft Auto 6 after a trailer for the game leaked early, then was officially released by Rockstar. GTA fans got their Christmas gift a day early after Rockstar released the very first trailer for GTA 6 on December 4 — a day before it was scheduled to go live. This was due to a leak of the trailer that appeared online mere minutes earlier, with text overlaying the video urging viewers to purchase cryptocurrency. In response, Rockstar pushed out the official trailer on their own channels. Fans got an up-close and personal look at the new face of Vice City, including its beautiful beaches, bombastic nightclubs, and the series’ two new main characters. However, it looks like fans could be seeing another big face in the game if certain claims are to be believed. Adin Ross claims he’ll be in GTA 6 amid leaked trailer chaos Shortly after the trailer went live, Kick streamer Adin Ross published a post on Twitter / X claiming that he is supposed to play a cameo role in the highly-anticipated game. The broadcaster also claimed that fans can expect to see him in a second trailer releasing some time later in the next year and thanked Rockstar for allowing him to supposedly play a part in the title. “I’m in GTA 6. I can’t speak much about it, but you’ll see later on throughout the year in the next trailer,” Adin wrote. “Either way I’m blessed, and thank you to Rockstar for giving me an opportunity to have something to do with the greatest game ever.” At the time of writing, it’s unconfirmed if Adin’s claims are legit — but given the hype around the latest trailer, it looks like fans are more excited than ever for any new information about the game. GTA 6 is set to release in 2025.

  • Adept slams xQc fans celebrating NoPixel GTA RP ban – Dexerto

    Adept slams xQc fans celebrating NoPixel GTA RP ban Twitter: Adept/Twitch: xQcTwitch star Adept has hit out at the pocket of xQc fans who are happy that he’s been banned from NoPixel’s GTA RP server just because they don’t enjoy it. After toeing, and eventually crossing a few lines, xQc was slapped with his fifth ban from NoPixel’s GTA RP server on May 23, but this time it looks as if he’s gone for good. The Canadian streamer had brought plenty of eyes to the server and GTA RP as a whole, but many of his interactions, especially with the police, caused headaches and often got pretty heated. Some streamers, like Summit1g, want him to make a return at some point but focus on his cop character and stay away from the criminal life. Some fans don’t want him to go back and have even celebrated his ban, which is something Adept isn’t best pleased with. Following xQc’s ban, Adept hit out at those viewers who were actually happy that he got banned, just because they didn’t enjoy the content and wanted him to do something else. “I think it’s absolute f**king dog s**t trash that there are people a part of X’s community that are happy that he got banned,” she started. “I think that is some fake love, weirdo s**t, that is probably due to weird-ass, underlying reasons and the fact that like ‘oh he’s not playing the things that I want him to play and the way I want him to play them, so I’m happy he doesn’t get to play them anymore.’ “Go f**k yourselves if you can hear this, that is some straight-up dog s**t trash and it’s 100% weird as f**k.” Obviously, not every xQc fan will be happy that he’s no longer on NoPixel, because he did plenty of entertaining moments. He’s apologized for what happened in the lead-up to his ban, and while it’s labeled a permanent ban, we’ll have to wait and see if he gets another chance in the future.

  • A new GTA 6 Vice City teaser may have been discovered in GTA Online – Dexerto

    A new GTA 6 Vice City teaser may have been discovered in GTA Online Rockstar GamesGTA Online players think they’ve discovered new GTA 6 teaser hidden in the new update, further hinting at a return to Vice City. The infamous GTA 6 development gameplay leaks from 2022 confirmed that the series would be returning to Vice City, and it seems like Rockstar Games is playing into this with a new event. Although GTA VI has yet to be officially announced, the developers have indicated that development is going well and the unfortunate hack hasn’t resulted in a delay. As fans anxiously await a rumored trailer, Rockstar has apparently teased the upcoming game by paying tribute to the book “Miami Taxi Vibes,” with the Florida location existing in GTA as Vice City. GTA Online players spot possible GTA 6 teaser In a post on Twitter, Rockstar specialist ‘Gaming Detective’ noted the similarities between GTA Online’s Taxi Work logo and the big “Miami Taxi Vibes.” Both logos feature the city’s skyline, leading some players to suspect that the game taxi company will exist in GTA 6. “Could be nothing, but it’s a very interesting coincidence considering we also just got the cab shirt everyone had been speculating about,” the user commented. The shirt in question, named ‘Downtown Cab Co. Revere Collar,’ features a city that some players suspect to be Vice City or another location in the upcoming game such as Port Gellhorn. Considering how Vice City is a stand-in for Miami in the GTA franchise, it’s certainly possible that this is a nod from Rockstar about the next installment, but we’ll have to see what the future holds. With a trailer expected to finally be shown off later this year, fans are growing impatient for some official news from Rockstar.

  • 8-year-old “borrows” fighter jet in GTA Online and it ends in disaster – Dexerto

    8-year-old “borrows” fighter jet in GTA Online and it ends in disaster Rockstar GamesA youngster took another player’s fighter jet in GTA Online, leading to explosive and disastrous results. They say never work with children or animals, which sometimes seems a little mean, but GTA Online player DORM12 found this out the hard way when an 8-year-old player made off with his fighter jet. The jet belonged to DORM12, who uploaded the hilarious video to Reddit under the headline “This is why you don’t give an 8-year-old a jet…” It appears that the user was okay with the kid borrowing his jet, as he can be seen in the foreground watching them commandeer it. However, things take a turn for the worst once the jet takes off. Explosive results in GTA Online No sooner does the eight-year-old Maverick-wannabe fold the landing wheels, they lose control of the fighter jet, and it plummets back down to Earth – exploding on impact. The final shot is of DORM12 watching helplessly as the game encourages him to contact Mors Mutual Insurance to replace his military-grade jet. This is indeed why you don’t give an 8-year-old a fighter jet, or perhaps a copy of GTA 5. Of course, anyone who’s familiar with GTA online will know fighter jets cost a ridiculous amount of credits. A P-996 LAZER is especially expensive, costing around $6,500,000. Therefore, letting an 8-year-old “borrow’ such a pricey plane was always bound to be risky. Hopefully, DORM 12 will be able to have it replaced using their in-game insurance. We imagine they’ll not make this same mistake again. If so, they may need to resort to this stunt to eliminate future jet griefers, whatever their age.

  • 7 classic cars GTA Online could add in the future – Dexerto

    7 classic cars GTA Online could add in the future Rockstar Games / Microsoft StudiosRockstar Games have added an unbelievable selection of cars to Grand Theft Auto’s Online mode over the years, but we’ve got seven absolute classics that would make the game a whole lot better. Whether you prefer to shop at Legendary Motorsport, Warstock Cache & Carry or drag a car off the streets and make it your own by purchasing insurance from Los Santos Customs, any regular GTA 5 player knows there’s a lot of vehicles to pick from. There are fresh vehicles being added to the in-game purchasing apps on a weekly basis through content updates, not to mention fresh prizes on the Diamond Casino’s Lucky Wheel, although we’re going to pick a small selection that haven’t been seen before in Los Santos. So, let’s take a look at our selections and see if any of these would be on your GTA Online wish list, if they were ever added. 1932 Mercedes-Benz SSK First up is one of the most iconic Mercedes-Benz race cars of all time, described by Jay Leno as “legendary” during a review on his YouTube channel and for good reason. The two-door roadster was the pinnacle of design and technology for its era, featuring an extremely loud supercharger that roared across the race track with its 7.1 liter engine in the 30s. 90 years later, despite there being millions of other automobile designs manufactured since, it would still very much stand out on the road in real life and on the streets in GTA 5. Maserati A6GCS/53 There are a few Italian cars that have caught the eye over the years and the Maserati A6GCS/53 certainly fits right into that ‘special’ category, that’s for sure. First designed for the World Sportscar Championship in the 50s, this car – whether it be in its spider or Berlinetta form – was one of the most iconic of its generation, influencing the design of sports cars around the world. With a top speed of 235km/h and an engine capable of 170hp, there’s no doubt that GTA players might want to take this one into Los Santos Customs for some upgrades if they ever wanted to transform it into a modern-day racer, although we imagine the challenge would be the draw. Its design is beautiful. Aston Martin Bulldog All of you young guns out there who thought this was a lower version of the Tesla Cybertruck at first glance may want to turn away now. No, it’s an Aston Martin Bulldog. Designed in 1979, this was very much a one-off vehicle designed by the British car manufacturers, and much of its design – in fairness – does appear to have been replicated by Tesla. With its gull-wing doors, metallic color scheme, and almost robotic feel to its aesthetic, this is very much what people might have thought the future of the vehicle industry was going to look like. While that may, in part, be true now that the Cybertruck is on the way, this Bulldog would still be a perfect addition to Rockstar’s game as there’s nothing quite like it rolling around the map just now. It’s one of a kind. VW Beetle 1962 The Volkswagen Beetle is a vehicle that’s very much appeared in Grand Theft Auto games before, featuring in almost all of the franchise’s 2D games and previously known as ‘Bug’ cars. The two-door hatchback that we’re talking about, though, is not an ordinary beetle and we definitely do not want a 2D version of it floating around GTA Online. The 1962 VW Beatle was a proper car, potentially the most famous of its kind to be exact. Is this a speedster? No, but it’s a perfect nod to the past – particularly the Herbie movies – where it featured a slick white paint job with different colored stripes, racing stickers, whale-tail spoiler, and other iconic features. Let’s not settle for the rustic ‘Injection’ car that’s currently in GTA, with a body inspired by the Beetle. Let’s get the real thing added. Lotus Seven (S4) Not all of the cars can possibly look the same in Rockstar’s game and if you’re looking for variety, the Lotus Seven S4 might be right up your street – if it’s ever added. The British car manufacturer has come up with some astounding motorcars over the years, but there’s something about this one that really fits the whole online experience in GTA 5. When you’re drifting around the streets or speeding down the highways, you will see a wide variety of different vehicles fly past you at speed – with most players looking for something unique. And let’s face it, there’s not much like this 1.6 liter engined set of wheels available in Legendary Motorsport just yet. Maybe in the future, though, and the Lotus always has to be yellow, as is tradition. BMW Z1 One thing that’s just become a standard feature for cars across the world, over time, has been hinged doors to allow for an easy entrance and exit to the vehicles. The Z1 is a perfect choice to be a future addition if we’re looking to mix things up. This BMW, which was in production between 1989 and 1991, featured a unique way of opening and closing – as the doors simply slid back and forth. There’s nothing worse than having a door completely fall off after a crash in GTA, but this design could provide a perfect solution to that. With a 2.5 liter engine, just the two seats and a multi-link rear suspension (one of the first models to include this feature from BMW’s range), we imagine not many players would turn down the opportunity of something as unique as this fine roadster. Peel P50 Last, but certainly not least, is the Peel P50. Fans of the BBC TV show Top Gear will remember when this miniature motor wheeled its way into the public service broadcaster’s offices back in 2008, with former host Jeremy Clarkson showing just how adaptable it can be in everyday life. In the world of Grand Theft Auto Online, there’s only really one way of storing your vehicles and that’s by locking them up in your garage. However, unlike anything the game has seen before – or indeed the Top Gear audience at the time – the 1 meter tall Peel P50 can slot perfectly into elevators, meaning you could park the thing up right next to your bed inside your apartment if you really wanted to. Or, drive it around at work. Timestamp in the video below at 3:30. Since that broadcast first aired over 10 years ago, Peel Engineering Company has since revealed updated models that any human being might find to be a hard task slotting into. But, for a video game, this is surely absolute gold. So, there you have it! That’s our list of classic cars we would like to see added to GTA’s Online mode in the near future – whether that be in the current game or one in the future. You never know, GTA 6 could be announced with the Peel P50 leading the marketing any time soon…

  • 6 things GTA 6 needs – Dexerto

    6 things GTA 6 needs Rockstar GamesRockstar Games have finally confirmed that GTA 6 is in production, nearly 10 years after its predecessor’s debut. Every release from the iconic developers brings an expectation of blockbuster quality, and GTA 6 is no exception. Here are six things we’d like to see from GTA 6. GTA 5 was released on September 13, 2013, and become one of the most successful games of all time. Sitting underneath Minecraft as the second best-selling game of all time, GTA 5 has enjoyed continued success over the last decade thanks to its ever-popular multiplayer component, GTA Online. With the power of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles at their disposal, Rockstar Games have the opportunity to turn GTA 6 into another blockbuster experience. Here are a few things we’d love to see from the next installment. Refined combat When Rockstar Games finally releases GTA 6, hopefully, it will have outstanding, immersive combat. The gunplay within GTA 5 currently leaves a lot to be desired, lacking the punchy heft seen in some of Rockstar’s other projects. GTA 5 was built using Rockstar’s own in-house engine, RAGE (Rockstar Advanced Game Engine). The highly proficient engine has been used in the GTA franchise since GTA 4. With the release of Max Payne 3, the engine saw immense improvements, providing players with extremely satisfying gunplay that felt tactile and weighted. GTA 6 has the chance to reintroduce this level of action, and then some. Dedicated mod support The modding community has always played a prevalent part in the growth of GTA 5 on PC. Modders have increased the game’s fidelity with inventive shader tweaks, and much more. However, their efforts were ultimately clamped down by Rockstar themselves in the build-up to the original trilogy’s Definitive Edition release. This kind of creativity shouldn’t be squandered and Rockstar Games could cultivate an incredible community based on modding, in a similar fashion to Bethesda. The release of The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim Anniversary edition saw the inclusion of an official modding feature, with players able to implement hundreds of player-made alterations into their game. GTA 6 could follow suit and make it the most personable installment yet. Deeper GTA Online customization While GTA Online allows players to customize their character’s aesthetic, the level of detail applied to interiors, like apartments, isn’t as interchangeable. The GTA franchise added a fresh layer of immersion with the pseudo-RPG element of GTA: San Andreas, allowing Rockstar to expand on these ideas in subsequent sequels. GTA 6 could expand on GTA Online’s level of customization by letting players truly dig into how their apartments, bases, and nightclubs look outside of readily made presets. This is a great chance to grant the player more reason to invest time into GTA 6’s multiplayer. However, we are aware that Rockstar could see this as a chance to push in-game currency. Leave America for somewhere new We’ve seen enough of America within the GTA games. It’s time for somewhere fresh, somewhere new. Perhaps the franchise could take a page out of Just Cause’s book and relocate GTA 6 to a tropical vista. The sunny shores of Vice City are one thing, but an entire sun-soaked paradise is another thing entirely. Rockstar Games have played with this idea through GTA Online in the Cayo Perico update – perhaps this is a sign of things to come. A better map than GTA 5 Aside from the actual location of GTA 6, the map itself needs to be more interesting than the reimagined version of San Andreas. GTA 5’s version of San Andreas lacked the diverse nature of its original 2004 design, with much of the map filled with forests and baron desert space. It felt far too empty for a franchise that prides itself on immersion. It works for the Old West of Red Dead Redemption, but not the bustling atmosphere of crime in GTA. GTA 6 needs to introduce a map with densely populated areas, from buildings to pedestrians, which we need to be invested in our new locale. Introduce a female protagonist Lastly, the introduction of a female protagonist is heavily overdue for GTA. We’ve experienced the life of mafia members, bank robbers, and morally grey men time and time again. GTA 6 should introduce a fresh perspective on the common thematic beats of the franchise. The series has overdone satire on the ‘American Dream’ to death at this point, so a new character with a unique backstory could do wonders for GTA 6. It’ll be quite some before GTA 6 launches on consoles and PC respectively, but until then, make sure to stay updated with all GTA developments.

  • Biggest mysteries never solved in GTA San Andreas, Vice City & GTA Online – Dexerto

    Biggest mysteries never solved in GTA San Andreas, Vice City & GTA Online Graphics: Rockstar GamesGrand Theft Auto players have discovered some big mysteries over the years, some of which still leave us asking questions. Here, we run through the biggest folk tales from popular games GTA 5, Vice City, and San Andreas. Whether you like to dig deep into theories, easter eggs and discoveries in video games or not, there’s no denying that developers keep a chunk of their community happy by planting seeds. These may never lead to anything particularly exciting, although there’s always a chance that they may develop into something much more interesting later down the line. After seeing them, we’re sure you will agree too. Some of these have haunted the GTA series for years, with several clues found laying around in the various maps released. Not everyone will have spotted every easter egg over the years. The player base does a great job of digging them out, though. That’s for sure. It doesn’t matter if a clue is under the water, tucked away deep into a forrest, or in a place nobody may think the look. They will find something if it’s added, you can bet your bottom dollar on it. Bigfoot There doesn’t get much bigger than this myth, literally. It’s been one of the most longest-standing the GTA series has seen. Has Bigfoot ever walked around in Grand Theft Auto? As we all know, the idea of Bigfoot being a real thing in our world is one myth busters have been trying to find out for decades, with alleged sightings documented in numerous locations. The same can be said for Rockstar’s game, too, as the rumors of seeing this huge beast in-game have been lingering around since the days of GTA 3. Some say it hid away in the mountains, while others claim it actually revealed itself and attacked players, but the evidence was slim. In San Andreas, though, some players claim to have spotted the dangerous beast. Popular sighting locations were Mount Chiliad Natural Arch, the Shady Cabin area, and Back O’ Beyond on the map. Unfortunately, though, its existence has never been confirmed by devs. The idea of having such an unknown phenomenon potentially pacing its way around the same map as players, offline or online, might give some the creeps. Or, the urge to make the discovery for themselves. Black Cellphones There are tons of different numbers for GTA 5 players to call in the game’s online mode, whether that be dialing Lester’s number for assistance or being called by characters in order to set up jobs. However, there is one number – above all else – that has a really random reaction when dialed and there’s no real explanation at the time of writing. It was actually found by Twitter user @KarmaIngram1, who has since had their account suspended, and is believed to have been found in the game files. Perhaps, we weren’t supposed to know about this one. Easter eggs of all different varieties have been added to GTA Online over the years, after being first released in 2013, although this phone call mystery might be the most off of the lot. After all, there’s no real reason behind what happens. Once the number is called, 1-999-367-3767, it connects the player to “Black Cellphones” before detonating an explosive (believed to be an EMP) in the air nearby – with members of the community also claiming other numbers also have similar outcomes too. There’s been zero clarification as to why this happens and the wait for those answers goes on. Alien takeover Now, that’s a perfect segue into our next major mystery, which has existed for years in Grand Theft Auto – the presence of aliens. This one has to be broken into three sections, starting with the teasers, and then moving onto something much more interesting discovered at sea afterward. Wait until you see the leaked UFO mission as well… While there has never actually been a physical alien invasion in GTA Online, there have been multiple hints that all tie in with the potential eventuality, and some even linking the EMP phone calls to the mystery. Although, there’s much more solid evidence than that to go off. This all started out in the original Grand Theft Auto, where a man during the ‘Heist Almighty – Penetrator’ mission claims to have obtained secret information on the presence of extraterrestrials after invading an army base. In 2019, there was a viral movement including millions of people signing up to invade Area 51 to find aliens, but clearly Rockstar’s original title was way ahead of its time with this one. From there, we’ve seen pedestrians mentioning aliens in offhand comments on the streets in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Not to mention the religious cult ‘The Epsilon Program’ claiming to be aware of their existence in the game, too. Since that time, back when this mystery was merely words and not much evidence to draw from, they have shown face. The creatures revealed themselves in a GTA 5 easter egg, covered in ice. UFO discovery This isn’t the only clue to have teased an alien invasion in the game, either. Drawings at Sandy Shores, magazines found in-game and also posters stuck up all around the huge map signaled that something big was coming. Not to mention the huge UFO that many players have discovered in-game as well, despite Rockstar never commenting on its addition. Video footage of the UFO, posted to YouTube by GameNewsOfficial, can be found below. It is underwater and not far from shore, at the north end of the map. As of yet, though, mankind has been able to live freely. Many believe something supernatural is out there, watching down on them, dropping clues. For all we know, Rockstar have been lining this up for years to transition from one game to another. On the other hand, it could have all very well been just in Michael’s head. UFO at Fort Zancudo leaked As of November 2020, aliens are still just as much a mystery as they ever have been. People keep finding clues about their potential arrival, but the big green button hasn’t been pressed just yet. Data miners sieve through the game files regularly, feeding off of the scraps in many cases following updates. On August 25, though, a major discovery relating to the presence of aliens was made. Seen in the video below, an unidentified flying object (UFO) will soon land in the mysterious Fort Zancudo location. Known for its likeness to Area 51, which is constantly linked to the coverup of alien information, it looks like the GTA version will soon be the home of aliens in a new Business Battle. This leaked business battle arrived with the 2020 Halloween update to GTA Online. The update has about the aforementioned, leaked UFO – and in this instance is crashed, requiring players to loot 8 spaceship parts inside a hangar whilst fighting off enemies during a Business Battle and deliver them to Omega, upon which they will receive special extraterrestrial themed gear. This also coincides with the Halloween event Alien Survivals, in which players become an alien and have to fight off waves of humanoid enemies, gaining double rewards for the week. Shipwrecks Speaking of finding interesting stuff in the ocean, there have been some interesting findings in the depths. While sinking ships might be part and parcel of the modern online experience, several unknown shipwrecks have been discovered since GTA was first released. This includes what was dubbed “The Titantic” back in San Andreas. Of course, some GTA games players were prevented from swimming, with players being Wasted after landing in water, so it’s not something that’s been possible to find in each title. That said, it’s not just the RMS Titanic and a UFO that players claim to have found in GTA. Planes have even been found wasting away in the ocean as well (in GTA V). Some even found submarines in Vice City. These were located in the water, as well as at a wreck at Vice City Junkyard, Little Haiti. Many of these vessels and other wreckages have little meaning and have yet to be explained by Rockstar. Cement boots Finally, the last one on our list has clear connotations of gang crime and murder. The identities of men and women wearing cement boots at the bottom of the sea are something of a mystery. The one above is from GTA: Vice City. There are some phenomenal characters included in the Vice City story mode, with missions featuring the likes of Tommy Vercetti, Ricardo Diaz, Ken Rosenberg, and many more. There’s a possibility that one of them was responsible for the death of the cement boot-wearing figures in the water. One was found off the shore at Leaf Links, as well as others at Washington Beach and Little Havana. They’ve even been found in GTA 5 Clearly, these are planted in the game to scare characters about suffering the same fate. Even Rosenberg – at one stage – even hints at who did it to these people, the Farelli Family. The Farelli’s were prominent in the game. The Italian-American family was known for their illegal activities in Vice City, as well as Liberty City Stories. Even more unidentified victims been found since. A woman was also found deep into the world of GTA 5, so this isn’t something that’s gone away. Having been killed off, there’s never been any explanation or backstory given for these characters. Just like everything else in this list – we have all been left waiting for answers. Who killed them? Why did they die? Missions could have been very different with them in the fold. Sadly, there’s a chance we’ll never know why such easter eggs were planted in the series.

  • 50 Cent’s GTA 6 tease was actually for ‘Vice City’ Paramount Plus show – Dexerto

    50 Cent’s GTA 6 tease was actually for ‘Vice City’ Paramount Plus show Rockstar Games, Instagram: 50 CentA recent teaser from 50 Cent had fans convinced he was appearing in GTA 6 – but it turns out the rapper is actually collaborating on a Vice City show. With no evidence or rumors about the state of GTA 6 coming to light – not even a title or a release date -fans of the famous video game franchise have become understandably frustrated. The lack of information has led some would-be detectives to search for clues about anything related to the next game in the series in GTA 5, GTA Online updates, even marketing for other Rockstar games. When rapper Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson recently posted a cryptic Instagram post referencing “Vice City,” fans got excited that he could be involved with the next Grand Theft Auto game, which was rumored to be set in the fictional Vice City. 50 Cent’s teaser was about an upcoming Vice City show But GTA fans were disappointed by a new Gamespot report that 50 Cent’s teaser was not related to the next game, but instead a new show that will be airing on Paramount Plus. According to Gamespot, the story follows “three friends, former soldiers, who come home to Miami in the mid-’80s after a dishonorable discharge following the Iran Contra scandal.” The show is apparently unrelated to the Grand Theft Auto franchise. That news was certainly not well-received by GTA fans, who took to social media including the game’s subreddit to voice their disappointment… or revel in being right that this tease was unrelated to the next game. “Well it did say TV show in the Instagram post haha, honestly don’t even know how everyone thought it was GTA tease,” one crowed. Fans will have to wait a bit longer to get any information about GTA 6.

    5 things GTA Remastered Trilogy needs to be more than a nostalgia trip Rockstar GamesRockstar Games have officially unveiled the GTA Trilogy remasters and while the idea of revisiting them is enticing, it will need some meaningful improvements to be more than just a nostalgia trip. The time to relive those memories of blasting REO Speedwagon through the streets of Vice City has almost arrived. While the classic trio of GTA games has seen slight improvements before, Rockstar Games are seemingly offering fans a refined experience for both current and last-gen consoles. To truly get fans onside while cries for GTA 6 grow intensely, Rockstar will need to deliver something worth shelling out for. Here are 5 things that the GTA remastered trilogy could do with including. 5. Restore the iconic soundtracks So many experiences within these games are linked to the meticulously constructed soundtracks. Whether it is taking in the sunset with Go West’s “Call Me” in Vice City or Rage Against The Machine’s “Killing In The Name” blasting over a game of pool in San Andreas, there is a radio station for every player begging to be enjoyed. While later games have tried to replicate the same success as their predecessors, it is the original trio that stands for offering players some of the best playlists ever put together in gaming history. Getting all the licenses may prove a lofty task for Rockstar, but to be a true remaster, you need all the iconic tracks. 4. Potential for a free upgrade It is highly likely that the updated collection will be over the $40 mark, however, we would love to be proven wrong. Rockstar Games have noted that the current versions of the trilogy will be removed from all digital storefronts ahead of the Definitive Edition release too. With that in mind, is it possible that players who already own the classic games could be due for a free upgrade? This is more than likely wishful thinking, but if Rockstar is truly intent on thanking fans for over two decades of support, this would be a fine way to pay tribute to their loyal fanbase. 3. Improved performance Since the PS2 era, it is obvious just how many improvements to hardware there have been for consoles. Rockstar Games have an incredible chance here to showcase the original games in a stunning new light. The Definitive Edition will apparently retain the “classic look and feel of the originals” while offering “graphical improvements and modern gameplay enhancements.” To portray these games in the same aesthetic as the HD era might be a slight to the cartoonish charm of the classic games, but with the right direction, they could wind up as something special. 2. Dedicated remasters, not upgrade mobile ports As aforementioned, the much-loved era of GTA games has seen ports to mobile devices and to last-gen consoles with slight visual/performance improvements. However, for all intents and purposes, they are mostly nothing more than one-to-one ports of their PS2 counterparts. If Rockstar Games are going to be charging full price for their updated editions, they’ll have to prove they’re more than just a few meager improvements. 1. Open up the possibility for more remasters If the trilogy remasters are a success, this could open up the doors for other revered titles to get the remaster treatment. While titles such as the first two Max Payne games are trickier due to Remedy developing them, fans could see smash hits like Bully (Canis Canem Edit) or Red Dead Redemption arrive with some next-gen polish. While Rockstar hasn’t offered a release date for the Definitive Edition at the time of writing, if successful, it might not be long before we ride the plains of the old west with John Marston once gain.

  • 5 things every GTA Online player needs to buy – Dexerto

    5 things every GTA Online player needs to buy Rockstar GamesGrand Theft Auto Online has been around for years, and while some players buy crazy vehicles, homes, and businesses, there are some must-need purchases that some players miss out. [jwplayer M2iRw99J] GTA Online is jam-packed with content. From apartments to cars, to airplanes, and even yachts, you can spend your hard-earned, or stolen, money on pretty much whatever you want. Most players are happy with an apartment, a few cars, and maybe one business so that they can keep the money ticking over, but is there anything that’s considered a must-buy? Well, we’ve got five things that every GTA Online player should own to at least start up their criminal empire. So, let’s jump right into it. Apartment: Del Perro Heights or Alta Street Tower Before you go anywhere in GTA Online, you’re going to need a house. This can be as extravagant as the Diamond Casino penthouse, or as cheap as a small home in the Vinewood Hills. Read More: Leaked GTA 5 UFO job is finally coming soon – However, you don’t really want to be buying a small home and then upgrading down the line. You might as well future proof anywhere. For this, you may as well buy an apartment in either the Del Perro Heights or Alta Street Tower. They’re both around $200,000 and have 10-car garages, so there’s plenty of room for vehicles – and they’re in the heart of Los Santos. Vehicle: Grotti Turismo R In terms of a vehicle, it would be easy to point out the MKII Oppressor and say everyone needs one. It’s certainly a nice luxury, but it has a steep price and it isn’t all that cheap to keep stocked up with rockets. So, we’ve gone with something that is classy to look at and performs well on the road – the Grotti Turismo R. It clocks in at $500,000, so it’s certainly not cheap, but it will show that you’ve made a bit of cash in GTA, and you’re just there to mess around. Plus, if you decide to enter races, it should give you a chance at winning – provided you don’t come up against a modified Formula One car. Vehicle: Nightshark On the flip side of things, if you went to defend yourself from the trolls who buzz around on the MKII Oppressor, you’ll probably want a Nightshark. The $1,245,000 military vehicle is cheaper than buying a Mobile Operations Center and withstands a similar level of punishment from the hoverbikes rockets. It’s a solid purchase. Business: Arcade There are absolutely more lucrative businesses than the arcade, however, they don’t give you access to the Diamond Casino heist. That in itself makes the Arcade a key thing to own in GTA Online. Now, you don’t have to go all out and buy an arcade in downtown Los Santos. While that might cut the time you spend going back and forth between some key places, it is just ultra-expensive. You can easily get your hands on Pixel Pete’s Arcade in Paleto Bay, and that’ll do the job. Diamond Casino membership Last but not least, the cheapest thing on our list – a membership to the Diamond Casino. Yes, technically, everyone is made to sign up to the casino membership when you first enter, but more players might not have signed up. It’s a simple process, walk into the casino, head to the service desk on the left of the main doors, and hit the sign up button. It’ll barely put a dent in your wallet at first, but you can take home some incredible amounts from the casino itself. Is there anything, or place in GTA Online that you consider a must-need that we’ve missed out? Let us know over on Twitter – @GTA_intel.

  • 4 big things from GTA 6 ‘leaks’ we’re hoping are real – Dexerto

    4 big things from GTA 6 ‘leaks’ we’re hoping are real Rockstar GamesRockstar Games aren’t giving much away in terms of their next Grand Theft Auto project, but there are some things that have appeared in apparent GTA 6 leaks we’re hoping come to fruition. The game developers are still yet to give fans any indication about whether or not Grand Theft Auto 6 is in the works. Members of the community are sniffing around for teasers and hints, digging through information claiming to be part of leaks. Some of those claims have been extraordinary, too. Spitballing locations being leaked by Rockstar’s very own co-founder Sam Houser in 2013 and previous suggestions that we’ll see GTA 6 in 2020. Putting realistic chances of things happening — as nobody knows what’s in store — we’re going to lay out everything we’re hoping is accurate based on things people have said so far. Return to Vice City With many leaks throughout the years regarding this iconic location, this is something many players would be overjoyed by. GTA: Vice City was released back in 2002 and much of the community fell in love with the vibrancy and tone of the game. A simple yet brilliant title, in the 18 years that have passed since we were first introduced to the place, there has been no room for return. In a now-deleted post by Reddit user JackOLantern1982, we were treated to a vast array of detail. One mentioned the return of Vice City. Set alongside a fictional recreation of Rio de Janeiro, the game will go between the two, alongside a small recreation of Liberty City. With that being said, Reddit user CurryLav previously posted potential map details to the GTA 6 subreddit, claiming to have acquired information from Rockstar India on the project. The post has since been deleted by admins. The post pieced together a number of different pieces of information, largely about a new weather system, but did claim Vice City would be the main location in the next game. The idea of having such an iconic location accessible again in better graphics is something not many fans would turn their noses up at. Map size We’ve already mentioned a Vice City leak, but it’s worth noting that there’s been much more than that said about the map. In fact, it was claimed that a new map called “Project Americas” would make the GTA 5 island look like a “schoolyard playground” in comparison. Specifically, the post states that the two main locations would be Carcer City (East Coast US, based on Boston) and Vice City (Miami) – which would certainly give the game a different dynamic. In comparison, the previously mentioned Reddit post sets the game in Vice City and a fictionalized Rio de Janeiro, with a comment by swagduck69 implying the game is set in modern-day Liberty City. If you guys remember from the map leak, this is exactly how the map looks like from the gta online tease but in a one flipped direction. Rockstar seems to be slowly teasing gta 6 through their posts. pic.twitter.com/IQ5RHQgwOe — GTA 6 NEWS (@GTAVInewz) November 19, 2020 As we can see from this speculation from GTA 6 News, if this map was to be an accurate image of a future map, we’re in for a fantastic experience. Couple with multiple locations, the open world will be a sight to behold. With GTA 6 not confirmed yet and unlikely to be released on the previous generation of consoles, the added power of the Xbox One Series X and PlayStation 5 will give Rockstar a chance to pull off something as ambitious as this. Time skips and new continent Members of the GTA community have been wondering if the franchise would return to the UK. We haven’t seen a GTA game in the UK since 1999’s expansion for Grand Theft Auto. However, there’s one setting that consistently keeps coming up in leaks and teasers: South America. In the game series’ history, never before have we been able to venture into different parts of the continent before. With that being said, we have already mentioned Vice City, Carcer City, Rio, and Liberty City as things we would like to see, and we can’t have it all. Players have even found what they believe to be official teasers, too, spotted in a Casino trailer for GTA Online and later in a gift from Rockstar top influencers at Christmas. Other potential leaks have claimed Bogota, Colombia will also be a location in GTA 6. Rumored time skips would be something that could bring it all together, though, if we were given a character in the game’s story that has a history of living or working in South America. Potential locations include Mexico City, or even Vegas – although that’s jumping back into the States – in the 1970s, and some small towns, according to previous leaks. As with Red Dead Redemption 2’s locations outside of the main map, a similar method could be utilized here. Perhaps time skips and DLC, separated further by chapters can lean heavily into making this a natural transition in the story. Release date Last, but not least: release date leaks. Thus far, Rockstar Games hasn’t really given an inch in terms of revealing information about GTA 6. Previously, one disproven 4Chan leak claimed that the game would drop in 2020. Rockstar Support recently replied to one Twitter user asking about the game’s release date. While they didn’t drop anything monumental, their use of ‘yet’ is a sure sign that good things are to come. There is no news on that topic yet. Please stay tuned to the Rockstar Newswire for official updates: https://t.co/i1zkZw0nsH *KG — Rockstar Support (@RockstarSupport) September 7, 2020 Apex Legends was dropped in 2019 completely out of the blue, gaining worldwide acclaim. So, while unlikely, there’s no doubt an established brand like GTA could pull it off, too. However, our chances are likely low, as Rockstar has never utilized a method like this. Getting our hands on GTA 6 so soon, though, is exactly what everybody wants. Even if GTA Online is still being updated regularly, thousands of players would make the switch on a day’s notice. So, there you have it! Those are the top four pieces of leaked information that we’re hoping to come about. These all provide fantastic food for thought about the future of GTA. It’ll be interesting to see what comes to fruition upon the reveal.

  • Best Zhongli Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons, more – Dexerto

    Best Zhongli Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons, more miHoYoZhongli is more than just a five-star Geo character in Genshin Impact; he is the Geo Archon himself. The unassuming Liyue know-it-all is one of the strongest characters thanks to his massive shields. Here’s the best Zhongli build in Genshin Impact, with his top artifacts, weapons, and more. Zhongli is a fan-favorite character in Genshin Impact — and it’s for more than just his good look or his status in Liyue. He is an incredibly powerful Geo Polearm that can boost your allies with big shields and buffs (with the right artifacts), all while being no slouch himself damage-wise. We’ve got the best Zhongli build in Genshin Impact here, including the artifacts and weapons you need to make the most out of him. Contents Zhongli abilities – Zhongli constellations – Best Zhongli artifacts – Best Zhongli weapons – Zhongli Talent Level-Up and Ascension materials – Zhongli trailer – Best Zhongli team comp – Zhongli abilities in Genshin Impact Normal Attack: Rain of Stone Normal Attack: Performs up to 6 consecutive spear strikes. – Charged Attack: Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to lunge forward, causing stone spears to fall along his path. – Plunging Attack: Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact. – Elemental Skill: Dominus Lapidis Zhongli’s Elemental Skill, Dominus Lapidis works in two ways. If you press it down, it will create a Stone Stele. However, hold down your skill button, and you’ll explode Geo energy around your pillars, dealing AOE damage and shielding allies. It will also drain nearby Geo enemies of their armor. The shield also acts as an offensive tool, reducing enemy resistances in a small AOE around them. The Stone Stele can also be climbed, and will resonate intermittently to deal Geo DMG in an area. Elemental Burst: Planet Befall Zhongli brings a falling meteor down to earth, dealing massive Geo DMG to opponents caught in its AoE and applying the Petrification status to them. Aside from it being the most epic looking ability in the game, it’s great for holding enemies in place before swapping to an ally to do massive damage. With enough constellations, it will also generate a shield for allies akin to Dominus Lapidis. Zhongli constellations Lucky enough to find multiple copies of Zhongli? He has some great constellations you can take advantage of: Level 1 — Rock, the Backbone of Earth: Increases the maximum number of Stone Steles created by Dominus Lapidis that may exist simultaneously to 2. – Level 2 — Stone, the Cradle of Jade: Planet Befall grants nearby characters on the field a Jade Shield when it descends. – Level 3 — Jade, Shimmering through Darkness: Increases the Level of Dominus Lapidis by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. – Level 4 — Topaz, Unbreakable and Fearless: Increases Planet Befall’s AoE by 20% and increases the duration of Planet Befall’s Petrification effect by 2s. – Level 5 — Lazuli, Herald of the Order: Increases the Level of Planet Befall by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. – Level 6 — Chrysos, Bounty of Dominator: When the Jade Shield takes DMG, 40% of that incoming DMG is converted to HP for the current character. A single instance of regeneration cannot exceed 8% of that character’s Max HP. – Best Zhongli artifacts in Genshin Impact Because Zhongli doesn’t rely on Geo DMG (or being on the field) as much as a DPS, taking a full artifact set of Archaic Petra isn’t necessarily required. In fact, it’s better to invest in Noblesse Oblige, given how much of Zhongli’s kit revolves around his big-hitting Elemental Burst. The Tenacity of the Millelith set is another top option that boosts his shield strength after dropping his pillar. Of course, a four-set of Archaic Petra isn’t bad — the Crystallize buff is nice — but it can be more effective to run a 2-2 split with Noblesse Oblige. Best Zhongli weapons in Genshin Impact Zhongli has an arsenal of polearm weapons he can make use of in Genshin Impact, At the top of the class, Staff of Homa stands out on Zhongli because of the HP increase while also giving him an ATK bonus based on that. Primordial Jade Winged-Spear is also a great option, although it does prompt Zhongli to get more field time compared to something like Prototype Starglitter due to the stacking ATK bonus (the latter is a great option if you lack Energy Recharge). Pick one of the best Zhongli weapons listed below, and you’ll have a great time: Zhongli Talent Level-Up and Ascension materials While Zhongli hails from Liyue, most of his Talent Level-Up and Ascension materials can be found all around Teyvat. Basalt Pillars are farmed from Geo Hypostases in Guyun Stone Forest (so too are the Prithiva Topaz ores), while the Slime materials can be farmed in almost every location on the map. The Cor Lapis local specialty will be dotted around Liyue’s western mountains and caves, especially near Mt. Hulao. Here’s how much of these materials you need to farm to max out your Zhongli in Genshin Impact: Zhongli Talent Level-Up materials Zhongli Ascension materials Zhongli trailer in Genshin Impact Zhongli’s Geshin Impact trailer, named Dominance of Earth, dives into his backstory not only as a consultant at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor but also during his time as the Geo Archon. It also goes into some of his combos, dealing with how well he pairs up with other Geo allies and just how much damage his shields can soak up (spoiler: it’s a lot). Best Zhongli team comp Zhongli best works as a Sub DPS rather than a Main DPS, mostly because of how effective his shields are at protecting allies while he’s off the field. You can drop your skills and then have your harder-hitting allies finish off the work. However, before you get a high DPS character in, you need to build out Geo Resonance because of how Zhongli’s skills work. Albedo and Ningguang work best for this, but literally any Geo ally — including the Traveler — that can help his pillar resonate more damage is great. Then, any allies that can deal massive amounts of damage in quick succession around Zhongli’s petrification are a great fit. Childe (Tartaglia) and Hu Tao fit the bill here nicely. Throw in a support in there like Xingqiu or Bennett for some extra healing, and you’ve got yourself a very well-rounded team comp. You could also place Zhongli on a Mono-Geo team with teammates such as Arataki Itto, Albedo, and Gorou to maximize Geo damage. Zhongli can slot into pretty much any team comp in Genshin Impact to great success but he shines when you build a roster around him. If you’re looking for more great Genshin Impact builds to round out your team, check out our list below: Best Albedo build | Best Aloy build | Best Ayaka build | Best Childe build | Best Diluc build | Best Eula build | Best Ganyu build | Best Hu Tao build | Best Itto build | Best Jean build | Best Kazuha build | Best Klee build | Best Kokomi build | Best Qiqi build | Best Raiden Shogun build | Best Shenhe build | Best Yoimiya build | Best Yun Jin build

  • Zhongli banner rerun in Genshin Impact: Release date, 4-star characters, more – Dexerto

    Zhongli banner rerun in Genshin Impact: Release date, 4-star characters, more miHoYoThe Zhongli banner rerun will soon be available in Genshin Impact, so find out when you can unlock the Geo polearm user and which 4-star characters will be joining him. Genshin Impact’s Zhongli is a 5-star polearm character who pummels his foes with Geo-based attacks, while also shielding his allies from danger. Not only is Zhongli capable of unleashing some ludicrous damage, but he also ensures your team remains healthy throughout the toughest of fights. As the vessel of the Geo Archon, Morax, Zhongli will stop at nothing to ensure Teyvat’s villains don’t go unpunished. It’s because of high versatility and incredible damage, that the Geo Archon remains one of the best Genshin Impact characters.

  • YouTuber blasts “predatory” Genshin Impact after spending $7,000 – Dexerto

    YouTuber blasts “predatory” Genshin Impact after spending $7,000 Genshin ImpactA YouTuber who spent thousands on Genshin Impact has gone viral after he blasted the game’s gacha system and decided to go exclusively free to play. Mtashed, who has made plenty of videos about the Chinese action RPG, will no longer be using the account he spent over $7,000 on because he feels the title is “crooked.” “My main account will now be my secondary account and I don’t want to play it anymore,” he explained in a video uploaded on October 26. “On top of this, any of the videos where I did Wishes and I was showing off any of the Wishes that I got, in the next 24 hours, I’m going to be taking those down and unlisting them.” According to Mtashed, he is doing this because he refuses to promote the game’s gacha system – which is how free-to-play games end up making money. “Michael, why the hell would you spend $7,200 on a damn game and then not use it?” he asked from the perspective of the audience. As it turns out, a big factor is people claiming that he has a gambling addiction. “If any sane person was spending this kind of money on a game… I would honestly say, unless you have an immense amount of disposable income, to look at yourself in the mirror and potentially get help,” he explained. “I am sorry if I ever baited you into Wishing yourself. I feel guilty about that. I have had a tough time sleeping.” As the video continued, Mtashed got teary-eyed and claimed he even regretted covering the game. “I’m a content creator and I can write this off as a business expense,” he revealed. “My tips video has made $7,300 and paid for every Wish I ever made on this account. And I know that other people can’t do that.” “I think this system is very predatory,” he added after apologizing to those he may have baited into spending money. “I think this system is gambling. I can’t believe that this exists in a game. And I refuse to promote it. I can’t do it and I’m so sorry that I did.” That all said, there are still a couple of videos that the YouTuber will still be making on his now-secondary account, but is going free-to-play after that. So far, the streamer believes he can make his F2P account “godly” and catch up to his other account in no time despite refusing to put any money in. Hopefully, the transition can keep others from getting addicted to the game and can shine some light on a very controversial system.

  • Best Yoimiya Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons, more – Dexerto

    Best Yoimiya Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons, more miHoYoYoimiya is Genshin Impact’s explosive Pyro Bow user (sorry, Amber) who can spam her enemies down with powerful Normal Attacks. We’ve got the Inazuman firework master’s best build right here, including the top artifacts, weapons, and team comps for Yoimiya. Yoimiya is a five-star Pyro character who uses her bow to bring fiery justice to her enemies, engulfing them in a flurry of scorching hot flames. As the owner of Inazuma’s Naganohara Fireworks shop, Yoimiya is no stranger to the beauty and danger that comes with explosives. Unlike some other bow users who rely on Charged Attacks, Yoimiya brings the excitement by spamming her enemies down with Normal Attacks imbued thanks to her Elemental Skill. Sounds like a lot of lingo? We’ve got the ultimate guide to Yoimiya’s best build right here, breaking that all down with her best artifacts, weapons, team comps, and combos for you to master. Contents Yoimiya abilities – Yoimiya constellations – Best Yoimiya artifacts – Best Yoimiya weapons – Yoimiya Talent Level-Up and Ascension materials – Yoimiya trailer – Best Yoimiya team comp – Yoimiya abilities in Genshin Impact Normal Attack: Firework Flare-Up Normal Attack: Yoimiya unleashes five non-elemental arrows directly in front of her. The speed of the arrows gradually increases before she leaps into the air to perform a final empowered attack. – Charged Attack: Upon the first charge, Yoimiya fires a flaming arrow that deals Pyro DMG to her enemy. The second charge generates three Kindling Arrows, which home in on nearby opponents, dealing Pyro DMG on hit. – Plunging Attack: While airborne, Yoimiya fires a volley of arrows into the air before striking the ground, dealing AoE DMG to all nearby opponents. – Yoimiya’s Normal Attack is the crux of her kit. While some Bow users benefit from Charged Attacks, just spamming her five-hit combo is the best way to do DPS. Learning how to dash-cancel after the fifth hit is also key to maximizing, meaning you can spam combos faster. Yoimiya Elemental Skill: Niwabi Fire-Dance Yoimiya waves a sparkler in the air, summoning three fiery wisps that circle around her. This imbues her Normal Attacks with added Pyro damage and enables her to melt through her enemies. The added Pyro effect of Normal Attacks only lasts for the duration of her Elemental Skill. This is just more buffs to Yoimiya’s Normal Attacks, and an additional reason to learn her basic combo. Yoimiya Elemental Burst: Ryuukin Saxifrage Yoimiya effortlessly leaps into the air before unleashing a devastating Pyro arrow and a number of fireworks. Both the arrow and fireworks explode in a large area, inflicting all enemies hit with Pyro damage. One enemy will also be marked with Aurous Blaze, which enables Yoimiya’s allies to trigger an explosion when hitting an opponent marked by the ability. In your combo, you should aim to cast your Burst before your Skill so that supports on your team can snapshot the ATK buff. Yoimiya constellations Get multiple copies of Yoimiya? Then you have some great constellation buffs to look forward to. Level 1 — Agate Ryuukin: The Aurous Blaze created by Ryuukin Saxifrage lasts for an extra 4s. Additionally, when an opponent affected by Aurous Blaze is defeated within its duration, Yoimiya’s ATK is increased by 20% for 20s. – Level 2 — A Procession of Bonfires: When Yoimiya’s Pyro DMG scores a CRIT Hit, Yoimiya will gain a 25% Pyro DMG Bonus for 6s. This effect can be triggered even when Yoimiya is not the active character. – Level 3 — Trickster’s Flare: Increase the Level of Niwabi Fire-Dance by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. – Level 4 — Pyrotechnic Professional: When Yoimiya’s own Aurous Blaze triggers an explosion, Niwabi Fire-Dance’s CD is decreased by 1.2s. – Level 5 — A Summer Festival’s Eve: Increases the Level of Ryuukin Saxifrage by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. – Level 6 — Naganohara Meteor Swarm: During Niwabi Fire-Dance, Yoimiya’s Normal Attacks have a 50% chance of firing an extra Kindling Arrow that deals 60% of its original DMG. This DMG is considered Normal Attack DMG. – Best Yoimiya Artifacts in Genshin Impact Yoimiya has two primary Artifact sets in Genshin Impact she can run as a 4-piece: Shimenawa’s Resistance or Crimson Witch of Flames. The former is her best overall, giving her a massive increase to her base DPS without affecting her ability to cast skills too much. The latter works well in certain comps that let her Vaporize constantly, like with Xingqiu. There are a couple of other options, though. A 2-piece Set of Gladiator’s Finale paired with Shimenawa’s Resistance is a solid, easy-to-get combo. Lavawalker also works well in more Pyro-centric teams but can be difficult to farm. Here’s all of Yoimiya’s best Artifact sets in Genshin Impact: Best Yoimiya weapons in Genshin Impact Yoimiya can make use of pretty much every five-star bow in Genshin Impact successfully. Her best, by far though, is Thundering Pulse — which is no surprise given it launched alongside her release. The ATK buff lets her even harder, although it takes some time to learn how to juggle the stacks. Polar Star and Skyward Harp are much more straightforward — although she can’t get the full 48% damage bonus off Polar Star because of her Skill. If you’re on a budget though, Rust maximizes her Normal Attack DMG, which is Yoimiya’s primary damage source. You can find Yoimiya’s best weapons in Genshin Impact below: Yoimiya Talent Level-Up and Ascension materials Yoimiya’s Talent Level-Up and Ascension materials can be primarily found in Inazuma. You can get the Smoldering Pearl from fighting the Pyro Hypostasis on Kannazuka, and Naku Weeds are dotted around Inazuma. However, for her Boss Material, you’ll need to farm Azhdaha for the Dragon Lord’s Crown Here’s everything you will need to max out Yoimiya’s talents and levels in Genshin Impact: Yoimiya Talent Level-Up materials Yoimiya Ascension materials Yoimiya trailer in Genshin Impact Yoimiya received her own gameplay trailer, named Whispers of the Flower, as soon as she launched in Genshin Impact. In it, HoYoverse highlights not just her backstory bringing joy to all of Inazuma City with her fireworks, but details some of her basic combos — including some big numbers of Pyro DMG. Best Yoimiya team comp Yoimiya can be splashed into almost any Genshin Impact team either as a Main DPS or Sub DPS — although she thrives as the former. However, it’s key that you play around with Elemental Reactions. For this reason, Xingqiu is arguably the best pairing with Yoimiya as he can very easily proc Vaporize. However, if you want to go for an Overloaded build, you can easily play Beidou or Fischl (or both). Bennett is also very handy at making sure Yoimiya dishes the pain by buffing her attacks with his AOE buff. If you want to go all-in on Pyro, be sure to bring Xiangling as a secondary carry — else Kazuha fits the bill. Finally, you can choose to run Yoimiya with a Geo character like Zhongli or Yun Jin. Yun Jin’s attack buffs make her a more-than-apt Bennett replacement, while Zhongli’s shields are appreciated by all. For an Overloaded team, you can run Yoimiya alongside Raiden Shogun, Chevreuse, and Kujou Sara. You can alternatively replace Kujou Sara with Bennett if you wish to do so. If you nail down whether you want to play Vaporize or Overloaded, then it’s just a matter of deciding what support you want to bring on (Bennett or Yun Jin) and your Sub DPS. If you want to add some Pyro flair to your comp, you can’t go wrong with Yoimiya. She might not steal the show like Hu Tao or Xiangling, but she is a very reliable damage dealer in a pinch.

  • Best Yelan Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons, more – Dexerto

    Best Yelan Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons, more HoYoverseYelan is an extremely powerful 5-star Hydro character in Genshin Impact. If you’re looking to build her, check out our recommended Artifacts, weapons, and more. Yelan is a mysterious individual who allegedly works for the Ministry of Civil Affairs. However, she also claims she works for Liyue’s Yanshang Teahouse. Yelan has consistently scored high on Genshin Impact’s tier list for sub-DPS units. This character’s Elemental Burst can improve the DMG of active units, but the ability does have a high energy cost. She can also become a main DPS depending on Constellations. Keep reading to learn everything you need to know about effectively building Yelan in Genshin Impact. Best Yelan build in Genshin Impact Best Yelan Artifacts We recommend placing the 4-piece Emblem of Severed Fate set on Yelan if you wish to use her as a sub-DPS. These Artifacts will increase her Energy Recharge by 20% and then improve her Elemental Burst DMG by 25% of her Energy Recharge. If you want to run Yelan as a Main DPS, we suggest using the 2-piece Tenacity of the Millelith alongside the 2-piece Heart of Depth. This combination will not only boost Yelan’s HP by 20%, but will also improve her Hydro DMG Bonus by 15%. Best Yelan weapons The best weapon choice for Yelan is the 5-star Aqua Simulacra due to the Bow increasing her HP by 16%. Yelan will need this effect, considering almost all of her attacks scale with her HP percentage. Aqua Simulacra will also improve Yelan’s DMG by 20% if there are opponents nearby, even if Yelan isn’t on the field. Another option is running the 5-star Polar Star to increase Yelan’s Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst DMG by 12%. This weapon will also trigger the Ashen Nightstar effect to convert stacks into ATK boosts. If you don’t have either 5-star option, we suggest going with The Stringless to improve your Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst DMG by 24%. Yelan Talent Level-up and Ascension Materials Talent level-up materials Yelan’s talents in Genshin Impact need Teachings of Prosperity and its upgrades, Recruit’s Insignia and its upgrades, and Gilden Scale. The exact number of materials you need for Yelan’s talents are as follows: Where to farm Yelan’s talent level-up materials Teachings of Prosperity and its upgrades Teachings of Prosperity and its upgrades can be farmed from Taishan Mansion in Liyue. The said materials are available on Monday, Tuesday, and Sunday. Taishan Mansion is located near Jueyun Karst. Recruit’s Insignia and its upgrades Recruit’s Insignia and its upgrades are dropped by Fatui enemies in Genshin Impact. You can locate them through the Adventurer’s Handbook. All you need to do is open the menu, look for Adventurer’s Handbook, go to enemies, click on the one you want and the game will guide you automatically. Gilded Scale Gilded Scale is dropped by the Azdaha weekly boss in Genshin Impact. This boss is unlocked as part of Zhongli’s questline in the game. Ascension materials Yelan in Genshin Impact needs Varunada Lazurite Silver, Runic Fang, Recruit’s Insignia, and Starconch. The exact number of materials she needs has been listed below: Where to farm Yelan Ascension materials Varunada Lazurite Silver and its upgrades Varunada Lazurite Silver and its upgrades can be farmed from the Hydro Hypostasis in Genshin Impact. You can locate it very close to Sangonomiya Shrine in Watatsumi Island in Inazuma. Runic Fang Runic Fang is dropped by the Runic Serpent in Liyue. You can find it in the lower depths of the Chasm. Starconch Starconch is a local specialty of Liyue that can be found spread all over the region. The areas where it can be found in abundance are Guyun Stone Forest and Yaoguang Shoal. Best Yelan team comp We suggest running Yelan on a team focused on the Hyperbloom Elemental Reaction. Therefore, we suggest using Yelan alongside Kokomi, Nahida, and Ayato. This team composition would take advantage of off-field element application while Kokomi continues to provide heals for the party. Alternatively, you could place Yelan on a Vaporize team with party members like Hu Tao, Xingqiu, and Zhongli. You won’t need a healer on this team, considering Zhongli’s shield and the way Hu Tao’s kit works. Finally, Yelan also works quite well with Yoimiya, YunJin, and Bennett. Yoimiya is the only character who can make the most out of Yelan’s 50% bonus damage. Yelan abilities in Genshin Impact Normal Attack: Stealthy Bowshot Elemental Skill Elemental Burst Passives Yelan Constellations in Genshin Impact Lucky enough to pull multiple copies of Yelan? Here are the buffs you’ll receive from her Constellations: Level One – Enter the Plotters: +1 Lingering Lifeline charge. – Level Two – Taking All Comers: Exquisite Throw attacks fire +1 water arrow dealing 14% of Yelan’s Max HP as Hydro damage, once every 1.8 seconds. – Level Three – Beware the Trickster’s Dice: +3 Depth-Clarion Dice Level. Maximum upgrade level is 15. – Level Four – Bait-and-Switch: For every opponent marked by Lifeline when it explodes, +10% to all party members’ Max HP for 25 seconds up to a maximum of 40% Max HP. – Level Five – Dealer’s Sleight: +3 Lingering Lifeline Level. Maximum upgrade level is 15. – Level Six – Winner Takes All: Yelan enters the Mastermind state after using Depth-Clarion Dice. Yelan’s Normal Attacks become enhanced Breakthrough Barbs that deal 130% of a regular Breakthrough Barb’s damage as Charged Attack damage. The state lasts 20 seconds and expires after 6 arrows are fired. – Yelan pros and cons While Yelan is one of the best units in the game, she has a few disadvantages: Yelan trailer In May 2022, HoYoverse posted a character demo of Yelan on its official YouTube channel.

  • Yaoyao revealed in Genshin Impact: Abilities, Sumeru lore, more – Dexerto

    Yaoyao revealed in Genshin Impact: Abilities, Sumeru lore, more HoYoverseYaoyao is an adorable character coming to Genshin Impact soon. After appearing in the manga as the game’s first Dendro character, she will finally debut in-game: here’s what we know about the four-star character, who has been confirmed for release in update 3.4. Yaoyao was widely speculated to be one of Genshin Impact’s first-ever Dendro characters — from almost the moment the Liyue region launched in the game. Her appearance in the manga alongside Qiqi did a lot to push that movement forward. There’s plenty of voice lines from Genshin Impact’s main cast about Yaoyao too, only further fueling rumors she could be released very soon. But she didn’t appear in the early Sumeru patches. It took months, but now her existence in-game is finally confirmed ahead of Version 3.4. Here’s what we know about Yaoyao in Genshin Impact, including her abilities and Sumeru lore. Contents Who is Yaoyao in Genshin Impact? – Yaoyao abilities in Genshin Impact – Is there a Yaoyao release date in Genshin Impact? – Who is Yaoyao in Genshin Impact? We know a bit about Yaoyao through the Genshin Impact main story. She is a former chef who gave up life in the kitchen to become an assistant for Ganyu instead — well, the Adepti does say she was only told to “keep an eye on [Yaoyao]”. She wanders around Liyue Harbor, having made friends with Beidou — often jumping onto her ship to play once it comes into dock. As we mentioned earlier, she was also taught by Madame Ping alongside Xiangling and is quite a good cook. Yaoyao abilities in Genshin Impact The recent Live Stream Special Program for Genshin Impact version 3.4 has not only confirmed the release of Yaoyao but has also given us a sneak peek of her abilities in the game. However, despite knowing how the character performs in battle, we are yet to find out the specifics of Yaoyao’s Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst. However, the official live stream did reveal a few interesting points about Yaoyao’s White Jade Radishes ability. Here’s everything that was revealed about this ability in Genshin Impact: Yaoyao will throw out White Jade Radishes depending on the surrounding combat situation. Upon exploding, White Jade Radishes will heal characters within a certain AoE based on the Elemental Skill’s value. – While Yaoyao is in the Adeptal Legacy state when casting her Elemental Burst, the White Jade Radish explosions will heal characters based on the Elemental Burst’s value. – Is there a Yaoyao release date in Genshin Impact? Yes, Yaoyao does have a set release date in Genshin Impact. The official HoYoverse Live Stream Special Program for version 3.4 has confirmed that the new character will be released in the first phase of the update.

  • Best Yanfei Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons, more – Dexerto

    Best Yanfei Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons, more HoYoverseThe half-adepti Yanfei can basically summon the power of the gods in Genshin Impact to deal massive amounts of damage as a Pyro Catalyst. If you want to do just that, follow our best build, including Yanfei’s top artifacts and weapons. Yanfei might prefer to do things via law and contracts, but Liyue’s most sought-after legal advisor can definitely lay down the law in a different way — through raw Pyro power. The four-star Catalyst dishes out massive damage with a kit that purely focuses on Charged Attacks and weaving them perfectly around Elemental Reactions to maximize DPS. There are a few tricks you’ll need to make the most of that, though, and we’ve got all the best build details right here. Best Yanfei Genshin Impact build Best artifacts for Yanfei The best artifact set for Yanfei is Crimson Witch of Flames. Here is the set bonus for this artifact set: Best weapons for Yanfei Yanfei’s best weapons in Genshin Impact do two things: buff up her Charged Attacks while also increasing CRIT Rate (and DMG). While Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds doesn’t really do the former, the damage bonus based on field time is incredibly strong, given how much Yanfei demands. Outside of the five-star option, she can actually be built pretty cheaply otherwise. The Widsith is flexible, with Yanfei utilizing all three buffs. The free-to-play Mappa Mare is also incredibly powerful, given it’s both cheap and gets stronger based on reactions, something Yanfei constantly procs. Here’s a list of Yanfei’s best weapons in Genshin Impact: Yanfei Talent Level-Up and Ascension materials Talent Level-Up Materials Yanfei’s talents in Genshin Impact need Teachings of Gold and its upgrades, Treasure Hoarder Insignia and its upgrades, and Bloodjade Branch. The exact number of materials she needs is as follows: Yanfei Ascension Materials Yanfei in Genshin Impact needs Agnidus Agate Silver and its upgrades, Juvenile Jade, Noctilucous Jade, and Treasure Hoarder Insignia for ascension. The exact number of materials she needs are provided below: Best Yanfei team comp Yanfei has a couple of team comps she can fit into, but the best is utilizing her as an on-field carry and prioritizing Vaporize reactions. This is where star support duo Bennett and Xingqiu come in. Bennett is great for buffing Yanfei’s ATK as well as giving Pyro Resonance, while Xingqiu is the best off-field Hydro applier in the game. To round out the squad, you can either add an Electro character like Fischl for more reactions or an Anemo character like Sucrose or Kazuha for Viridescent Venerer shred (best). There is a Yanfei build that goes all in on Overload instead, synergizing with Electro characters. The common pairing of Fischl and Beidou makes an appearance because of their powerful off-field damage, but you will have to change some parts of your Yanfei build to fit it in. Elemental Mastery is a key stat on your artifacts, while Sacrificial Fragments is the weapon of choice. Yanfei abilities in Genshin Impact Normal Attack: Seal of Approval Elemental Skill Elemental Burst Yanfei constellations Get multiple copies of Yanfei? Then you can make the most out of her constellations — all buffing her Charged Attack. Level 1 — The Law Knows No Kindness: When Yanfei uses her Charged Attack, each existing Scarlet Seal additionally reduces the stamina cost of this Charged Attack by 10% and increases resistance against interruption during its release. – Level 2 — Right of Final Interpretation: Increases Yanfei’s Charged Attack CRIT Rate by 20% against enemies below 50% HP. – Level 3 — Samadhi Fire-Forged: Increases the Level of Signed Edict by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. – Level 4 — Supreme Amnesty: When Done Deal is used: Creates a shield that absorbs up to 45% of Yanfei’s Max HP for 15s. – This shield absorbs Pyro DMG 250% more effectively. – – Level 5 — Abiding Affidavit: Increases the Level of Done Deal by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. – Level 6 — Extra Clause: Increases the maximum number of Scarlet Seals by 1. – Yanfei pros and cons While Yanfei is a decent unit, she also has a few disadvantages.

    Yae Miko revealed in Genshin Impact: Release date, banner, abilities, more Yae Miko is finally coming to Genshin Impact as a playable character. The five-star Electro Catalyst user has already played a big part in Inazuman lore, and now players can wield her powers. Here’s what we know about Yae Miko’s abilities, release date, banner, and more. It was only a matter of time until the Chief Priestess of the Grand Narutaki Shrine was added to Genshin Impact as a playable character, and now Yae Miko is finally here. The close friend of Raiden Shogun is set to join the game’s roster as a five-star Electro Catalyst with great synergies with the Inazuman deity. However, she also has a deep, hundreds-year-old story to herself. Here’s what you need to know about Yae Miko’s arrival in Genshin Impact, including her all-important Version 2.5 release date, abilities, banner, and more.

Yae Miko abilities in Genshin Impact Yae Miko utilizes the Electro element in Genshin Impact, striking foes down with lightning thanks to her abilities. Her Normal Attacks are a basic three-hit combo, although she can also do a bigger Charged Attack at the cost of some stamina. Both do Electro damage. Yae Miko’s Elemental Skill, Yakan Evocation: Sesshou Sakura, lets her dash around the battlefield, dropping Sesshou Sakura totems. These can be activated with her Elemental Burst, Great Secret Art: Tenko Kenshin, dropping massive thunderbolts that deal big Electro damage. You want to make sure all three of your Sakuras are out too, as using your Burst will reset the cooldown on each charge. Her kit overall provides great AOE damage which can be combined with other units like Raiden Shogun or Kazuha to decimate enemies in the blink of an eye. Yae Miko weapon in Genshin Impact As we mentioned at the top, Yae Miko is a Catalyst user. She harnesses the magical power of Electro to thrash out plenty of DPS. However, you can maximize this with her special Kagura’s Verity weapon, which synergizes perfectly with her three-stack Skill. After using an Elemental Skill, your DMG will increase by 12% for 12 seconds. Once you hit three stacks, you gain a bonus 12% — up to 48%. This weapon will be available on a weapon banner running alongside Yae Miko’s character banner in Genshin Impact Version 2.5.

However, for now, we get a good look at the shrine maiden in the update trailer. It shows Inazumans praying towards the Grand Narutaki Shrine with Yae Miko absorbing their wishes and putting it into use on the battlefield. However, exact combos don’t really get a look in — so keep an eye out for those. Yae Miko story in Genshin Impact Yae Miko is known for her kindness and has an air of mystery surrounding her. The pink-haired priestess is also an “old friend” of Morax and a close friend to Raiden Shogun. When she isn’t busy carrying out her many duties at the Grand Narukami Shrine, the Electro character can often be found discussing matters with the Electro Archon. Yae Miko’s story quest will likely delve deeper into this relationship. Yae Miko voice actor Yae Miko shares the same voice actors as Honkai Impact 3rd’s very own Yae Sakura, with Chinese and Japanese VAs Ayane Sakura and Mingya Du respectively reprising their roles.

  • Best Yae Miko Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons, more – Dexerto

    Best Yae Miko Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons, more HoYoverseYae Miko, the Lady Guuji of the Grand Narukami Shrine, packs a big punch with the power of Electro. Here’s her best build in Genshin Impact, including the top artifacts, weapons, and more you need to grind for. Yae Miko was one of the most highly-anticipated Genshin Impact characters ever before the Lady Guuji of the Grand Narukami Shrine to their roster was introduced in the Version 2.5 update. As a close ally to Inazuma’s Raiden Shogun, Yae Miko also has a number of powerful Electro attacks that make her an excellent addition to many team comps. In fact, the mysterious five-star Catalyst user can make short work of grouped enemies thanks to her AoE abilities. Genshin Impact is featuring reruns of both Yae Miko and Xiao until March 12, 2024. If you’re looking for the best Yae Miko build and wish to know which Artifacts, weapons, and Ascension materials you’ll need, then be sure to check out our guide. Contents Yae Miko abilities – Yae Miko constellations – Best Yae Miko artifacts – Best Yae Miko weapons – Yae Miko Talent Level-Up and Ascension materials – Yae Miko Genshin Impact trailer – Best Yae Miko team comp – Yae Miko abilities in Genshin Impact Normal Attack: Spiritfox Sin-Eater Normal Attack: Yae Miko summons kitsune spirits, initiating three attacks that deal Electro DMG. – Charged Attack: Yae Miko consumes stamina to unleash an Electro DMG attack after a brief charge time. – Plunging Attack: While airborne Yae Miko plunges towards the ground, dealing AoE Electro damage to all nearby enemies upon impact. – Yae Miko’s attack string is a bit different from most Catalyst users. Her Charged Attack deals a significant amount of damage, especially to grouped enemies. It does take a bunch of stamina, though, so it’s worth doing one or two Normal Attacks before charging so you can regen some. Yae Miko Elemental Skill: Yakan Evocation – Sesshou Sakura Yae Miko’s Elemental Skill sees the Lady Guuji reposition, leaving a Sesshou Sakura behind. The Sesshou Sakura strikes one enemy, causing them to take Electro damage. The more Sesshou Sakura that are on the field, the more damage this attack does. A maximum of three Sesshou Sakura can be present on the battlefield at one time. Yae Miko Elemental Burst: Great Secret Art – Tenko Kenshin Yae Summons a lightning strike from the sky, dealing AoE electro damage. When the burst is used, Yae will unseal nearby Sesshou Sakura, destroying their outer forms and transforming them into Tenko Thunderbolts that descend from the skies. These newly formed Tenko Thunderbolts also deal further AoE Electro damage. Each Sesshou Sakura destroyed by Yae Elemental Burst will create one Tenko Thunderbolt. This makes it crucial to chain together her Skill before deploying her Burst for maximum damage. Yae Miko constellations If you’re lucky enough to unlock multiple copies of Yae Miko, then you’ll have access to some of her fantastic constellation buffs: Level 1 — Yakan Offering: Every time Great Secret Art: Tenko Kenshin triggers a Tenko Thunderbolt, Yae Miko will restore 8 Elemental Energy for herself. – Level 2 — Fox’s Mooncall: Sesshou Sakura start at Level 2 when created, their max level is increased to 4, and their attack range is increased by 60%. – Level 3 — The Seven Glamours: Increases the level of Yakan Evocation: Sesshou Sakura by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. – Level 4 — Sakura Channelling: When Sesshou Sakura lightning hits opponents, the Electro DMG Bonus of all nearby party members is increased by 20% for 5s. – Level 5 — Mischievous Teasing: Increases the level of Great Secret Art: Tenko Kenshin by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. – Level 6 — Forbidden Art: Daisesshou: The Sesshou Sakura’s attacks will ignore 60% of the opponents’ DEF. – Best Yae Miko artifacts in Genshin Impact The best Yae Miko build will make use of the Gilded Dreams Artifact set. The 4-piece set will increase her Elemental Mastery by 80 and improve the Aggravate Elemental Reaction if Yae Miko is placed into a Dendro team. Alternatively, you can use the 4-piece Golden Troupe set for builds focused on the usage of her Elemental Skill as sub-DPS. Best Yae Miko weapons in Genshin Impact The best Yae Miko weapon, without a doubt, is Kagura’s Verity. The five-star Catalyst, which launches alongside Yae Miko, lets her stack an ATK buff up to three times based on casting her Elemental Skill. Given she has three charges of her spell, it’s practically made for he However, it can be a high investment to roll on a character and weapon banner — for such a specific Catalyst — at the same time. So, you can make use of other five-star picks like Skyward Atlas or Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds. For a four-star budget option, The Widsith is great. Find a list of Yae Miko’s best weapons in Genshin Impact below. Yae Miko Talent Level-Up and Ascension materials Yae Miko Talent and Ascension materials can be found in Inazuma and Mondstadt, which means you’ll need to progress through the story in order to fully level her. In order to level up and ascend Yae Miko, you’ll need to fight the Bathysmal Vishaps – Enkanomiya’s first boss added in Version 2.4. This boss drops the Dragonheir’s False Fin and other rare items, like Vajrada Amethyst fragments. Travelers will also need to farm plenty of Sea Ganodermas (dotted across Inazuma) and Handguards (obtained by fighting Nobushi). Finally, her Weekly Boss material is from none other than the new Raiden Shogun fight. As Yae Miko excels as an Electro damage dealer, you’ll want to max out her Normal Attack and Elemental Skill to help generate elemental reactions. Once that’s maxed out, simply pump the rest of the levels into her Burst. Yae Miko Talent Level-Up Materials Yae Miko Ascension Materials Yae Miko Genshin Impact trailer Yae Miko’s full trailer, The Mocking of a Tenko, went live on February 16, on the same day as her launch. It gives an insight into Yae Miko’s backstory as not only Lady Guuji but also the editor-in-chief of Yae Publishing House. Oh, and there’s a look at her hard-hitting Electro attacks, too. Best Yae Miko team comp The best Yae Miko place for Yae Miko would be on a Dendro Aggravate team alongside teammates like Alhaitham, Nahida, and Zhongli. Nahida would quickly apply Dendro to nearby enemies, with Alhaitham adding Quicken. Yae Miko would then trigger the Aggravate Elemental Reaction with her totems. Zhongli can be used as Support, but you could also replace him with Fischl to further the Aggravate damage. You could alternatively use Yae Miko in an Overloaded team consisting of Raiden Shogun, Kazuha, and Bennett. This would increase the team’s Electro Resonance, with Raiden regenerating more energy for Yae Miko’s Elemental Burst. Yae Miko is a great addition to most teams that need a spark of Electro and can fulfill a neat role as any team’s Sub DPS. Want more allies to pair her with?

  • Yae Miko “fix” rolled back in Genshin Impact, but players want more buffs – Dexerto

    Yae Miko “fix” rolled back in Genshin Impact, but players want more buffs HoYoverseA Yae Miko “fix” pushed as part of Genshin Impact Version 2.6 has been reverted just days after launching, swapping back to random targeting instead of closest target on her Elemental Skill. However, players still want more buffs as the Guuji struggles. Yae Miko was one of the most highly-anticipated characters in Genshin Impact history. The Head Priestess of the Grand Narukami Shrine had whales coming out of the shadows, ready to roll big for a chance to play with the kitsune. However, players have been left immensely disappointed after launch. Her kit was riddled with bugs, and for many, she wasn’t worth the pull as she was hardly an upgrade to any Spiral Abyss team with her high energy costs and low defense. HoYoverse did try to fix Yae Miko in Genshin Impact Version 2.6, pushing out a change where “Sesshou Sakura will now prioritize attacks on the nearest opponents within range” rather than random enemies. It fell flat though, with HoYoverse quickly reverting the changes just a week after its March 30 launch. “We have made a rollback to the change to the character Yae Miko, whereby her Sesshou Sakura ability prioritizes attacks on the nearest opponent within range,” an in-game message read. “After the rollback, Sesshou Sakura will randomly attack an enemy within range.” HoYoverse compensated Genshin Impact players with 100 Primogems for the inconvenience, but the revert was well received by players. Now though, they are calling on HoYoverse to ship some meaningful buffs to Yae Miko that aren’t just ‘spend money for constellations’. “Her damage isn’t the issue at all, it’s her squishiness. Her damage is fine. We just need her to be interruption [resistant] when she puts her turrets or she puts them fast, instead of the small pause in between,” one player said. “Stagger res or iframes… should be added as well,” another added. While some are of the sentiment the change has made her viable again in Taser teams, players want her to take up less on-field time for who is essentially a setup character, and maybe look at reducing her energy cost. However, HoYoverse has very rarely shipped buffs or nerfs for characters following their release — Zhongli being an exception to the norm. If changes do eventually come, we’ll let you know.

Find out everything you need to know about Yae Miko’s release date and 4-star characters ahead of her debut.

  • Best Xingqiu Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons, more – Dexerto

    Best Xingqiu Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons, more HoYoverseXingqiu is one of Genshin Impact’s best Sub DPS characters. Don’t let the bookworm facade fool you. This Hydro Sword character packs a very handy punch with lots of off-field damage and even some healing on the side. Here’s the best build to get the most out of Xingqiu, including his top Artifacts and weapons. Since the day Genshin Impact launched, Xingqiu has been a staple of some of the game’s best comps. The Hydro Sword user seems rather unassuming given his lack of power as a standalone unit, but he thrives when others do the heavy hitting for him. He’s a perfect Sub DPS-slash-support, quickly getting his skills off before moving off-field to let the primary carries do the work. He has healing, can proc plenty of Elemental Reactions, and more. There’s not much Xingqiu can’t do. If you’re looking to maximize Xingqiu’s impact in your Genshin Impact squad, we’ve got his best build right here with the top artifacts, weapons, and more. Contents Xingqiu abilities – Xingqiu constellations – Best Xingqiu artifacts – Best Xingqiu weapons – Xingqiu Talent Level-Up and Ascension materials – Best Xingqiu team comp – Xingqiu abilities in Genshin Impact Normal Attack: Guhua Style Normal Attack: Xingqiu performs up to five rapid strikes. – Charged Attack: Xingqiu consumes a certain amount of Stamina to unleash two rapid sword strikes. – Plunging Attack: Xingqiu plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact. – We’re going to keep it real — you’ll likely never need to use any of Xingqiu’s attacks. You only ever really swap onto him to collect energy particles for his Burst, or to use his skill. If you want to swing in a couple of normal attacks for DPS while doing so feel free, but you don’t need to learn his best attack string (N1C, one normal attack into a charged attack) as he thrives as an off-field support. Elemental Skill: Guhua Sword: Fatal Rainscreen Xingqiu performs twin strikes with his sword, dealing Hydro DMG. At the same time, this ability creates the maximum number of Rain Swords, which will orbit your active character. Xingqiu’s skill also heals allies when the swords dissipate. This makes healing in a pinch easy. If you’re in need of a heal in the middle of nowhere, just use it, swap to the character who needs healing, and wait for it to time out. Elemental Burst: Guhua Sword: Raincutter Xingqiu’s burst allows you to fight using an illusory sword rain, while creating the maximum number of Rain Swords. The ability activates when a character normal attacks — it won’t activate on charged or plunging attacks. These swords will rain down on targets when you attack, dealing Hydro DMG and setting up for Elemental Reactions. You can only ‘cast’ the swords once per second, so high-attack-speed characters can’t just abuse that. However, it’s great to get Vaporize or Freeze comps going. Xingqiu constellations Find multiple copies of Xingqiu? You’ve got plenty of great constellations to look forward to — including a huge power spike at C6. Level 1 — The Scent Remained: Increases the maximum number of Rain Swords by 1. – Level 2 — Rainbow Upon the Azure Sky: Extends the duration of Guhua Sword: Raincutter by 3s. Decreases the Hydro RES of opponents hit by sword rain attacks by 15% for 4s. – Level 3 — Weaver of Verses: Increases the Level of Guhua Sword: Raincutter by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. – Level 4 — Evilsoother: Throughout the duration of Guhua Sword: Raincutter, the DMG dealt by Guhua Sword: Fatal Rainscreen is increased by 50%. – Level 5 — Embrace of Rain: Increases the Level of Guhua Sword: Fatal Rainscreen by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. – Level 6 — Hence, Call Them My Own Verses: Activating 2 of Guhua Sword: Raincutter’s sword rain attacks greatly enhances the third sword rain attack. On hit, the third sword rain attack also regenerates 3 Energy for Xingqiu. – Best Xingqiu artifacts in Genshin Impact Xingqiu’s best artifact set in Genshin Impact, without a doubt, is Emblem of Severed Fate. Not only does it buff his Elemental Burst DMG in a 4-piece (which is where Xingqiu really shines), but it also allows him to go all in on Energy Recharge. However, if you are lacking some good Emblem of Severed Fate options, you can always go for a 2-2 split with Noblesse Oblige or Heart of Depth or straight up the former in a 4-piece. Either one of those artifact sets is solid on Xingqiu, but a good Emblem set will always shine the brightest. Here’s the breakdown of each of Xingqiu’s best artifacts in Genshin Impact: Best Xingqiu weapons in Genshin Impact Xingqiu can make use of most of the high-quality swords in Genshin Impact. However, you might not want to expend a Primordial Jade Cutter or a Mistsplitter Reforged (both are very solid on Xingqiu and best in slot for a reason) on just a Support / Sub-DPS. There are some better budget options. Sacrificial Sword is probably his best option at the four-star level, as you can get multiple casts of your skill back-to-back to quickly charge your energy. Anenoma Kageuchi is also solid because of the energy recharge ability, and the fact it’s free-to-play means you can get it maxed out very easily. With that being said, be sure to pick one of the options below for Xingqiu’s best weapon in Genshin Impact: Xingqiu Talent Level-Up and Ascension materials You’ll be trawling all around Liyue for Xingqiu’s Talent Level-Up and Ascension materials. He requires Silk Flowers (which can be found around the Harbor and at Wangshu Inn), Cleansing Hearts from the Oceanid boss, and Masks from Hilichurl camps. You do need to fight Andrius in Wolvendom to get Tail of Boreas for his Talents, but otherwise, you’ll be doing plenty of grinding in Liyue. Here’s a full list of Talent Level-Up and Ascension materials you’ll need to max out your Xingqiu. Xingqiu Talent Level-Up Materials Xingqiu Ascension Materials Best Xingqiu team comp Xingqiu can basically be dropped into any Genshin Impact team comp as a solid Sub DPS. However, he thrives best alongside Sword, Polearm, or Claymore allies like Ayaka, Xiangling, and Beidou. The Genshin Impact “national team” of Xiangling, Chongyun, Bennett, and Xingqiu is one of the most popular comps in the game for a reason — not only is it low investment with only four-star characters, but it’s using top-tier units that can tackle Spiral Abyss if needed. However, if you have any non-Bow or Catalyst Main DPS, you can just splash a Xingqiu in, and they’ll love the bonus damage and healing. Just be mindful that Xingqiu works best with Cryo, Pyro, and Electro allies because of the big Elemental Reactions he can produce off his Burst. Xingqiu is one of the best four-star characters in Genshin Impact and can really help you get the best out of your team with his Elemental Reactions. Want more allies to pair him with?

  • Best Xiao Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons, more – Dexerto

    Best Xiao Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons, more miHoYoXiao is still one of the premiere Anemo DPS in Genshin Impact. With the right build and best-suited artifacts, the Liyue adeptus can conquer every demon in Teyvat with his Polearm. We’ve got a breakdown of the best Xiao build in Genshin Impact right here, including the top artifacts, weapons, and more you’ll need to use. Xiao can be best described as Genshin Impact’s ultimate one-man army. The Liyue adeptus boasts one of the highest DPS in the game, especially when he’s built in the correct manner. However, it’s still important to build a strong team around him so you can maximize his impact on the battlefield. If you’re looking to pull for Xiao on his current rerun banner, you may be wondering what Artifacts to farm. We’ve got the ultimate guide to Xiao right here, including his best build in Genshin Impact and the top artifacts, weapons, and team comps you should run with the Vigilant Yaksha. Contents Xiao abilities – Xiao constellations – Best Xiao artifacts – Best Xiao weapons – Xiao Talent Level-Up and Ascension materials – Xiao trailer – Best Xiao team comp – Xiao abilities in Genshin Impact Normal Attack: Whirlwind Thrust Normal Attack: Xiao performs up to six consecutive spear strikes. – Charged Attack: Xiao consumes a certain amount of Stamina to perform an upward thrust. – Plunging Attack: Xiao plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact. Xiao does not take DMG from performing Plunging Attacks. – With Xiao, you want to do as many plunging attacks as possible, as it’s his highest DPS. Because he has a higher-than-normal jump compared to other characters, he can plunge with ease, and it dishes out major AOE damage. Just make sure to plunge when you reach the apex of your jump for maximum damage. You can also combo one normal attack into a charged attack to cancel its animation, then jump into the air and plunge enemies as they’re falling. Elemental Skill: Lemniscatic Wind Cycling Xiao’s Elemental Skill makes the Liyue adeptus lunge forward, dealing Anemo DMG to enemies in his path. It can be used in mid-air to hit weak spots on certain targets, as well as reposition in a fight. He has two charges of it in his base kit but can get an extra charge with his first constellation, and infinite refresh upon hitting two targets with his sixth constellation, making it more than just a movement tool and worth investing into (if you find all those constellations). Elemental Burst: Bane of All Evil Xiao’s Elemental Burst is the core of his kit, with the Liyue adeptus donning the Yaksha Mask that set gods and demons trembling millennia ago. It greatly increases his jumping ability, increases his ATK, and imbues his attacks with Anemo, which is great for swirling Elemental Reactions. Xiao will lose HP while wearing the mask, and it can be stopped by leaving the field. However, it’s important to maximize your uptime of the Burst, so bring a healer or shielder that can keep Xiao buffed up even while off-field so he can make the most of it. Xiao constellations Lucky enough to get multiple copies of Xiao? You’ve got plenty of great constellation buffs to look forward to. Level 1 — Dissolution Eon: Destroyer of Worlds: Increases Lemniscatic Wind Cycling’s charges by 1. – Level 2 — Annihilation Eon: Blossom of Kaleidos: When in the party and not on the field, Xiao’s Energy Recharge is increased by 25%. – Level 3 — Conqueror of Evil: Wrath Deity: Increases the Level of Lemniscatic Wind Cycling by 3. The maximum upgrade level is 15. – Level 4 — Transcension: Extinction of Suffering: When Xiao’s HP falls below 50%, he gains a 100% DEF Bonus. – Level 5 — Evolution Eon: Origin of Ignorance: Increases the Level of Bane of All Evil by 3. The maximum upgrade level is 15. – Level 6 — Conqueror of Evil: Guardian Yaksha: While under the effects of Bane of All Evil, hitting at least 2 opponents with Xiao’s Plunging Attack will immediately grant him 1 charge of Lemniscatic Wind Cycling, and for the next 1s, he may use Lemniscatic Wind Cycling while ignoring its CD. – Best Xiao artifacts in Genshin Impact The best artifacts for Xiao would be the 4-piece Vermillion Hereafter set as a Main DPS. This would greatly increase Xiao’s ATK due to his HP reduction effect. You could also use 2-piece Gladiator’s Finale and 2-piece Viridescent Venerer. You can find a list of Xiao’s best artifacts in Genshin Impact below. Best Xiao weapons in Genshin Impact There are two standout weapons for Xiao that are very flexible in every situation. The only downside is both Primordial Jade Winged-Spear and Staff of Homa are hard-to-get five-star weapons. If you have either, you should run it on Xiao regardless because the ATK buffs are huge. Deathmatch is a great 4-star alternative that scales damage based on the number of enemies nearby. Check out the full list of Xiao’s best weapons in Genshin Impact below. Xiao Talent Level-Up and Ascension materials Being a Liyue Adeptus, you can expect to find most of Xiao’s materials in the region. Slime Condensate can be found everywhere, but special items like Shadow of the Warrior and Juvenile Jade are from Liyue bosses Childe and Primo Geovishap, respectively. Qingxin can be found dotted around the Liyue mountainside, while Vayuda Turquoise can be farmed from bosses like the Anemo Hypostasis or Maguu Kenki. You can find the full list of Xiao’s Talent Level-Up and Ascension materials below, including exactly how much you need to max him out. Xiao Talent Level-Up materials Xiao Ascension materials Xiao trailer in Genshin Impact Xiao’s trailer dropped ahead of his February 2021 release during the first Lantern Rite event, showcasing the Vigilant Yaksha and diving into his backstory dating back to the millennia-ago Archon War. It also dives into some of his combos and enhanced movement techniques, which are the key to mastering Xiao. Best Xiao team comp Xiao is very much a one-man army. He can deal all the damage himself, and it’s worth having him on the field for as much as possible. That means when you’re building a comp around Xiao, you want to get the most out of your Supports and Sub DPS units who can drop their spells and sub out. However, there’s one non-negotiable option if you really want to maximize your Xiao, and that’s Zhongli. It’s a heavy investment to get the two Liyue 5-stars, but Zhongli’s shielding makes Xiao unkillable and also resistant to some enemy crowd control, which can be key with his plunging playstyle. Taking Albedo alongside Zhongli for Geo Resonance is also a great idea. You also want Anemo supports like Faruzan, Venti, or even Jean in your squad, who can provide Xiao with Elemental Particles as a battery as well as Anemo Resonance. Jean fills the nice double role of being a healer, but you can round out your team with Diona, Xingqiu, Bennett, or even Kokomi if you don’t have Jean. If you flex around these options, making sure you have at least a healer, a shielder, and an Anemo battery for Xiao (some of those characters fill multiple roles), then you’re well on your way. That’s everything you need to know about achieving the best Xiao build in Genshin Impact, including the best artifacts for him.

  • Best Xianyun Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons, more – Dexerto

    Best Xianyun Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons, more HoYoverseXianyun is a brand new Anemo 5-star character in Genshin Impact who launched alongside version update 4.4. Here is everything you need to know regarding her best artifacts, weapons, and more. Xianyun is a unit who has made multiple appearances in the past within the game. However, until now, you have known her as Cloud Retainer and have seen her in the form of a crane. Players have had a glance over her human form only once during the 2023 Lantern Rite Festival. However, HoYoverse presented the official drip marketing for Xianyun on December 18, 2023, where they revealed her real name. Here is what you need to know about effectively building Xianyun in Genshin Impact. Xianyun abilities in Genshin Impact Normal Attack: Word of Wind and Flower Normal Attack Summons swirling winds to perform up to 4 attacks, dealing Anemo DMG. Charged Attack Consumes a certain amount of Stamina and launches a Breeze Bolt in a straight line that deals Anemo DMG to opponents along its path. Plunging Attack Gathers the power of Anemo and plunges towards the ground from mid-air, damaging all opponents in her path. Deals AoE Anemo DMGupon impact with the ground. Elemental Skill: White Clouds at Dawn Xianyun enters the Cloud Transmogrification state and uses Skyladder once. In this state, she can use Skyladder up to 2 more times, and she will not take any Fall Damage. In this state, when Xianyun uses a Normal or Plunging Attack, she will use Driftcloud Wave instead, transforming into a Cloudbreeze Crane to perform a dive attack on nearby opponents, dealing AoE Anemo DMG and ending Cloud Transmogrification. DMG dealt this way is considered Plunging Attack DMG. Skyladder Xianyun will temporarily ascend forward and into the air, dealing Anemo DMG to targets in her path. Can be used while in mid-air. The leap distance increases when used from the ground. The same opponent can be damaged a maximum of once per Cloud Transmogrification state using a Skyladder. The more times Skyladder is used during per Cloud Transmogrification state, the more DMG the resulting Driftcloud Wave will deal and the larger its AoE. After using 3 Skyladders (including the initial use from White Clouds at Dawn), she will use the mightiest Driftcloud Wave: Divine Awe. White Clouds at Dawn itself can only be used while on the ground. If Skyladder is not used again within a short period, Cloud Transmogrification state will end and enter CD. If Driftcloud Wave was not used during a Cloud Transmogrification state, the CD of Cloud Transmogrification will be decreased by 3s. Elemental Burst: Stars Gather At Dusk Brings forth a sacred breeze that deals AoE Anemo DMG and heals all nearby characters based on Xianyun’s ATK. It will also summon a mechanism named Starwicker. Starwicker ·Continuously follows the active character and periodically heals all nearby characters based on Xianyun’s ATK. – Starts with 8 stacks of Adeptal Assistance. While Adeptal Assistance is active, nearby active characters will have their jump height increased. – When the active character completes a Plunging Attack, Starwicker will consume 1 stack of Adeptal Assistance and deal AoE Anemo DMG. Only 1 Starwicker can exist simultaneously. – Xianyun Constellations in Genshin Impact Lucky enough to get multiple copies of Xianyun? Here are what buffs you can expect from her Constellations: Level 1- Purifying World: White Clouds at Dawn gains 1 additional charge. Level 2- Aloof from the World: After using a Skyladder from White Clouds at Dawn, Xianyun’s ATK will be increased by 20% for 15s. Additionally, the effects of the Passive Talent “Consider, the Adeptus in Her Realm” will be enhanced: When the Starwicker created by Stars Gather at Dusk has Adeptal Assistance stacks, nearby active characters’ Plunging Attack shockwave DMG will be increased by 360% of Xianyun’s ATK. The maximum DMG increase that can be achieved this way is 18,000. Each Plunging Attack shockwave DMG instance can only apply this increased DMG effect to a single opponent. Each character can trigger this effect once every 0.4s Level 3- Creations of Star and Moon: Increases the Level of Stars Gather at Dusk by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. Level 4- Mystery Millet Gourmet: After using Skyladder 1/2/3 times during one White Clouds at Dawn Cloud Transmogrification state, when a Driftcloud Wave unleashed during that instance hits an opponent, it will heal all nearby party members for 50%/80%/150% of Xianyun’s ATK. This effect can be triggered once every 5s. Level 5- Astride Rose Colored Cloud: Increases the Level of White Clouds at Dawn by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. Level 6 – They Call Her Cloud Retainer: After Xianyun uses 1/2/3 Skyladders within one Cloud Transmogrification caused by White Clouds at Dawn, the CRIT DMG of a Driftcloud Wave created in this instance of Cloud Transmogrification will be increased by 15%/35%/70%. Within 16s after Xianyun has used Stars Gather at Dusk, White Clouds at Dawn will not enter CD. This effect will be canceled once she has used White Clouds at Dawn 8 times. Best Xianyun Artifacts in Genshin Impact If you’re planning on using Xianyun as a Plunging Attack support, we recommend placing the Viridescent Venerer set on her. This Artifact set would increase her Anemo DMG Bonus but also increase Swirl DMG by 60%. You could alternatively use the Song of Days Past set to give Xianyun a healing bonus. If you want to transform Xianyun into a Burst Healer, you should use the 4-piece Noblesse Oblige Artifact set to increase her Elemental Burst DMG and the ATK of her teammates. Xianyun Artifact stats The stats you should be focusing for Xianyun in Genshin Impact are as follows: Best Xianyun weapon in Genshin Impact Xianyun’s best in-slot weapon is her signature, Crane’s Echoing Call. This Catalyst is great for Xianyun because of the increased DMG for Plunging Attacks and the Energy Regeneration effect. If you’re not going all in for Xianyun, you could alternatively place the Skyward Atlas on her for an Elemental DMG Bonus. If you’re looking for a 4-star option, we recommend the Oathsworn Eye for an improved Energy Recharge after using an Elemental Skill. However, the Catalyst was obtained from the Three Realms Gateway Offering event. Xianyun Talent Level-up and Ascension Materials Ascension materials Where to farm Xianyun ascension materials Vayuda Turquoise Fragment and its upgrades Vayuda Turquioise Fragment can be farmed from the Anemo Hypostasis in Genshin Impact. It can be found very close to the Stormbearer Mountains. Cloudseam Scale This is a boss material that is dropped by Solitary Suanni in Chenyu Vale.

This boss is unlocked as part of Fontaine’s Archon quest. Xianyun pros and cons in Genshin Impact The pros and cons of Xianyun are as follows: Should you pull for Xianyun? Yes, Xianyun is a must-pull in Genshin Impact. She is a healer, but the plunging attack playstyle is one of the best in the game. You may think she only works with Xiao, but she makes characters like Hu Tao and Ayaka hit extremely hard as well. The plunging attack buffs are exceptionally strong and almost any character can melt through bosses.

You can watch the video below: Best Xianyun team comp The best team comp for Xianyun takes advantage of the Vaporize Elemental Reaction with teammates such as Gaming, Bennett, and Furina. You could replace Gaming with Diluc if you wish to do so because of the latter’s plunging attack scaling. Another team comp option would be Xianyun, Xiao, Faruzan, and Furina.

  • Best Xiangling Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons & team comp – Dexerto

    Best Xiangling Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons & team comp HoYoverseXiangling is one of the best Genshin Impact 4-stars to invest into — the Pyro Polearm can DPS like the best of them with relative ease. Here’s the best build you need for Xiangling, including her top artifacts, weapons, and some tips and tricks. Xiangling certainly spices up the battlefield in Genshin Impact. The Liyue chef whirls up a fiery storm to dish out a ton of damage that’d make some of the game’s 5-stars sweat where they stand. Even after 5 years, Xiangling is one of the best Pyro units in the game. She can be built at a relatively low cost, using four-star weapons and easy-to-farm artifacts to get the most out of her kit. If you’re starting out in Genshin Impact, or just want a new main, Xiangling is one you need to look towards. We’ve got the best Xiangling build in Genshin Impact right here, including the top artifacts, weapons, and more you’ll need to invest in. Best Xiangling build in Genshin Impact While this is the best build for Xiangling, if you are interested in learning about every component within the setup, we have discussed those in detail in the following sections. Best Xiangling artifacts The best artifact set for Xiangling in Genshin Impact is Emblem of Severed Fate. The stat bonus for this artifact set is as follows: This artifact set helps with Xiangling’s Energy Recharge as well as her damage output. This helps balance her stats and thereby deal the most optimal damage. Best Xiangling weapons Xiangling can make use of practically every Polearm in Genshin Impact, so she’s that flexible. However, a few weapons stand out above the rest. Number one is Staff of the Scarlet Sands — Cyno’s polearm — with CRIT Rate as its substat and the Elemental Mastery boost. However, there are a couple of free-to-play options too. The four-star Wavebreaker’s Fin and the craftable The Catch both boost her Burst damage significantly and should be run in budget squads (Wavebreaker’s Fin at Refinement Level 5 is best in slot regardless). You can find the full list of Xiangling’s best weapons in Genshin Impact below. Xiangling Talent Level-Up and Ascension materials Talent Xiangling in Genshin Impact needs Teachings of Diligence and its upgrades, Slime Condensate and its upgrades, and Dvalin’s Claw. The exact number of materials she needs are as follows: Ascension Xiangling’s ascension in Genshin Impact needs Agnidus Agate Silver and its upgrades, Everflame Seed, Jueyun Chili, and Slime Condensate. The exact number of materials she needs is as follows: Best Xiangling team comp Xiangling can work in a wide range of teams. However, the best one where you can slot her is the National team comprised of Raiden Shogun, Xingqiu, Xiangling, and Bennett. In this team, Raiden deals damage and helps with Energy Regen. Xingqiu deals minor damage and triggers vaporize reaction. Bennett provides heals and buffs while Xiangling acts as the off-field DPS. Xiangling can work in other vaporize teams as well, so allies like Kokomi or Childe can fill that role nicely — even Ayato with his Burst. However, Overload comps are also viable with units like Raiden Shogun or even Beidou. You’ll also probably want some Anemo to keep enemies grouped up, and Sucrose is best for that job. While you can use just about any Anemo ally (maybe not Xiao), Sucrose is both low investment and super flexible. You can also use replace Sucrose for Kazuzha if you have him. Xiangling abilities in Genshin Impact Normal Attack: Dough-Fu Elemental Skill: Guoba Attack Elemental Burst: Pyronado Passives Xiangling constellations Got multiple copies of Xiangling? You’ve got some good constellations to boost her power, especially from Level 3 onwards. Level 1 — Crispy Outside, Tender Inside: Opponents hit by Guoba’s attacks have their Pyro RES reduced by 15% for 6s. – Level 2 — Oil Meets Fire: The last attack in a Normal Attack sequence applies the Implode status onto the opponent for 2s. An explosion will occur once this duration ends, dealing 75% of Xiangling’s ATK as AoE Pyro DMG. – Level 3 — Deepfry: Increases the Level of Pyronado by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. – Level 4 — Slowbake: Pyronado’s duration is increased by 40%. – Level 5 — Guoba Mad: Increases the Level of Guoba Attack by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. – Level 6 — Condensed Pyronado: For the duration of Pyronado, all party members receive a 15% Pyro DMG Bonus. – Xiangling pros and cons While Xiangling is very powerful, there is one weakness that can be a problem for several players.

Contents When did Genshin Impact come out? – Is there a Genshin Impact Nintendo Switch release date – Is there a Genshin Impact Xbox release date? – When did Genshin Impact come out? Genshin Impact was released worldwide on September 28, 2020, on PC, mobile (Android & iOS), and PlayStation 4. HoYoverse then released Genshin Impact on PlayStation 5 on April 28, 2021. Genshin Impact is now two years old and is celebrating its two-year anniversary, with plenty of events and ways for Travelers to secure free Primogems. Unfortunately, HoYoverse has yet to reveal when Genshin Impact will release on Xbox and Nintendo Switch. This news is obviously very disappointing to Microsoft and Nintendo fans, who have been looking forward to delving into the anime-inspired world of Genshin. Is there a Genshin Impact Nintendo Switch release date? No, HoYoverse has yet to reveal a Genshin Impact Switch release date. However, we do know that it is coming to the portable console. During an interview with GoNintendo, the developers gave the following statement: “The Switch version is still in development, and we will release more information as we progress further along.” For now, it looks like Nintendo fans will have to wait a little longer as the developers continue to optimize the game for Switch. Is there a Genshin Impact Xbox release date? There is currently no news regarding a Genshin Impact Xbox release date. In fact, HoYoverse hasn’t mentioned whether the free to play anime game will ever be released on Microsoft’s consoles. This makes it incredibly unlikely that Genshin Impact will ever make its debut on Xbox, but we’ll update this section if we hear any new information. So, there you have it, that’s all the answers to when did Genshin Impact come out. Make sure to check out our Genshin Impact page for all the latest news and guides.

  • What is Pity in Genshin Impact? How to get a guaranteed 5 star character – Dexerto

    What is Pity in Genshin Impact? How to get a guaranteed 5 star character HoYoverseEnhance your likelihood of obtaining 5-star characters in Genshin Impact by understanding and utilizing its Pity system. Knowing when to apply the Pity feature can greatly assist in acquiring top-tier characters. This guide explains all you need to know about how Pity functions in Genshin Impact. Nothing is more frustrating than spending your precious Primogems and getting only 3-star items or using all your Wishes without summoning the character you really want. The Pity system thankfully can increase your chances of getting those rare character pulls and help your Wishes hold some more weight. Knowing how to best utilize this mechanic is extremely useful in the game, so here’s everything you need to know about Pity in Genshin Impact to help you get those guaranteed 5-star pulls. Contents How does the Pity system work in Genshin Impact? – Does Pity reset after a 5-star pull? – Pity odds in Genshin Impact – How to get a guaranteed 5 star in Genshin Impact – Can I see what my Pity number is in Genshin Impact? – How does the Pity system work in Genshin Impact & what is it? Pity in Genshin Impact is a system that, quite literally, feels sorry for you if you haven’t managed to pull a 4 or 5-star character in a long time. It’s a neat way of guaranteeing that you’ll get a rare drop at a certain point, rather than needing to spend Primogems infinitely trying to get one. It’s divided into two rarity classes: 4-star, with a Pity marker of 10, – 5-star with a marker of 90. – This means that you are guaranteed a 5-star drop in Genshin Impact at 90 pulls and a 4-star at 10 if you haven’t managed to get one within that time. Does Pity reset after a 5-star pull? The counter will reset whenever you get something of that rarity, meaning if you get a 5-star at pull 59, it’ll reset to zero. This is completely random, and there is no way of controlling it. Pity resets every time you get a 4 or 5-star pull. Pity odds in Genshin Impact While Pity odds for 4-star drops is 10 and 5-star is 90, this does change slightly with character and weapon banners. Usually, a banner has a rule where if you pull a 4/5-star item that isn’t the featured one, it is guaranteed to be that one on the next rare pull. If you pull the featured item, your next drop of that rarity has a 50% chance of being a featured one. In short, it’s easier to use the Genshin Impact Pity system on a banner with this bonus, rather than spending Primogems wildly and not getting the character or weapon you want. How to get a guaranteed 5 star in Genshin Impact Players have been increasing their odds at getting banner characters by using Genshin Impact’s Pity system, and it’s a pretty genius strategy. For example, if you’re looking to get Cyno as your next 5-star pull, wrack up as much Pity as you’re able on the previous banner and carry it over to Cyno’s one. This will give you a higher chance of unlocking him. Combine that with the special banner odds mentioned previously, and you’ve got a pretty high chance of adding whoever you want to your team very soon. Can I see what my Pity number is in Genshin Impact? No, you cannot see what your Pity number is, so it is a good idea to keep a note so you know where you’re at with the count, especially if you’re aiming for a 5-star which has a Pity number of 90. You can also follow these steps to see exactly where you’re at: Head to the ‘Wish‘ menu. – Click on ‘History‘. – There, you’ll be able to count the number of pulls after the last 4/5-star drop. – So, there you have it – that’s everything you need to know about how the Pity system works in Genshin Impact.

  • Best Venti Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons, more – Dexerto

    Best Venti Genshin Impact build: Artifacts, weapons, more miHoYoVenti is one of the more powerful Anemo supports in Genshin Impact, and he has been since the game’s launch. Unleash the true power of the Anemo Archon with the best Venti build in Genshin Impact here, with his top artifacts, weapons, and more. To most, Venti is just a bard who mysteriously came to Mondstadt and started reciting eloquent poetry. However, behind that young facade is a thousand-year-old story of the Anemo Archon, Barbatos, who uses Venti as his mortal body. It’s no wonder he excels at wielding Anemo in Genshin Impact, with Venti being one of the best supports in the game with his great grouping abilities. Here’s how you can maximize your Venti build with the best artifacts, weapons, and more in Genshin Impact. Contents Venti abilities – Venti constellations – Best Venti artifacts – Best Venti weapons – Venti Talent Level-Up and Ascension materials – Venti trailer – Best Venti team comp – Venti abilities in Genshin Impact Normal Attack: Divine Marksmanship Normal Attack: Perform up to six consecutive shots with a bow. – Charged Attack: Perform a more precise Aimed Shot with increased DMG. While aiming, favorable winds will accumulate on the arrowhead. A fully charged wind arrow will deal Anemo DMG. – Plunging Attack: Fires off a shower of arrows in mid-air before falling and striking the ground, dealing AoE DMG upon impact. – Honestly, being a ranged support, Venti doesn’t use his attacks much. Charged Attacks can be used to hit weak spots on Ruin Guards, but his Normal Attack only really gets used to animation-cancel his Elemental Skill, Skyward Sonnet, dodging its long cast time. Elemental Skill: Skyward Sonnet Venti’s skill, Skyward Sonnet, works in two ways. If you just press it, it’ll summon a Wind Domain at the opponent’s location, dealing Anemo DMG in a decently-sized AoE and launching opponents into the air, making them vulnerable to follow-up combos. If you hold the ability, though, Venti will act as the epicenter, summoning a bigger domain and lifting himself into the air, too. This is a great dodge tool as well as damage tool and can help enable plunge comps with Diluc or Xiao, for example. Elemental Burst: Wind’s Grand Ode Venti’s burst, Wind’s Grand Ode, is the ultimate Swirl ability in Genshin Impact. Firing out an arrow, he creates a huge Stormeye that draws in opponents and does continuous Anemo DMG. It can also absorb elements like Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, and Electro, making it a huge damage tool for grouped enemies against the likes of Mona, Ayaka, or Ganyu. Venti constellations Level 1 — Splitting Gales: Fires two additional arrows per Aimed Shot, each dealing 33% of the original arrow’s DMG. – Level 2 — Breeze of Reminiscence: Skyward Sonnet decreases opponents’ Anemo RES and Physical RES by 12% for 10s. Opponents launched by Skyward Sonnet suffer an additional 12% Anemo RES and Physical RES decrease while airborne. – Level 3 — Ode to Thousand Winds: Increases the Level of Wind’s Grand Ode by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. – Level 4 — Hurricane of Freedom: When Venti picks up an Elemental Orb or Particle, he receives a 25% Anemo DMG Bonus for 10s. – Level 5 — Concerto dal Cielo: Increases the Level of Skyward Sonnet by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. – Level 6 — Storm of Defiance: Targets who take DMG from Wind’s Grand Ode have their Anemo RES decreased by 20%. If an Elemental Absorption occurred, then their RES towards the corresponding Element is also decreased by 20%. – Best Venti artifacts in Genshin Impact Venti’s build in Genshin Impact is all about one stat — Elemental Mastery. There are some CRIT-centric Venti builds that work, but they rely heavily on getting good substats that outweigh the damage lost from Elemental Mastery. Viridescent Venerer as a 4-Piece Set is Venti’s best artifact thanks to the Anemo DMG Bonus as well as the Swirl buff. You could also run with the Emblem of Severed Fate set for more Energy Recharge and increased Elemental Burst DMG. Stats wise, be sure to look out for Elemental Mastery main stats (of course), but also sub-stats like a decent baseline of Elemental Recharge (aim for around 160% total) along with ATK% and CRIT Rate. You can find the best Venti artifacts in Genshin Impact below. Best Venti weapons in Genshin Impact Once again, because Venti’s build is about Elemental Mastery, he doesn’t benefit from a whole lot of five-star weapons. Elegy for the End is strong on Venti with the sigils, but a maxed-out The Stringless will outperform it (and it’s a lot easier to get). Even easier for F2P players is Windblume Ode, which was available during the Invitation of Windblume event. It was practically made for Venti, and if the event ever gets rerun it’ll be a must-grind. You can find the best Venti weapons in Genshin Impact below. Venti Talent Level-Up and Ascension materials Being the Anemo Archon himself, Venti does need to spend a fair bit of time grinding in Mondstadt for his Ascension materials. He doesn’t need to take down Stormterror for his boss materials — those come from Andrius in Wolvendom for the Tail of Boreas and the Anemo Hypostasis for Hurricane Seeds. Cecilia flowers can be found around Mondstadt, and Slime Condensate is all around Teyvat. If you want to max out your Venti, here’s how much you’ll have to invest into Talent Level-Ups and Ascensions. Venti Talent Level-Up Materials Venti Ascension Materials Venti trailer in Genshin Impact Venti’s trailer, named Skyward Sonnet after his skill, dives into his backstory as a mysterious bard who has come to serenade Mondstadt. It also showcases some of his combos and the insane power of his Elemental Burst when infused with other elements. Best Venti team comp Venti is a very flexible Anemo support that can fit into most team comps. We recommend placing him into a party focused on the Freeze Elemental Reaction with teammates such as Ayaka, Diona, and Mona. Alternatively, you can replace Ayaka with Ganyu, Diona with Shenhe, and Mona with Kokomi. You can also use him on a Hyperbloom team with Nahida, Raiden Shogun, and Kokomi. Raiden Shogun will need an investment in Elemental Mastery, but you can use Fischl instead if you wish to do so. Venti is a very flexible character in Genshin Impact and one worth investing in if you love your big AoE combos. If you’re looking for more great Genshin Impact builds to round out your team, check out our list below: Best Albedo build | Best Aloy build | Best Ayaka build | Best Barbara build | Best Childe build | Best Eula build | Best Ganyu build | Best Hu Tao build | Best Itto build | Best Jean build | Best Kazuha build | Best Keqing build | Best Klee build | Best Kokomi build | Best Mona build | Best Qiqi build | Best Raiden Shogun build | Best Shenhe build | Best Xiao build | Best Yoimiya build | Best Yun Jin build | Best Zhongli build

  • Varka in Genshin Impact: Everything you need to know – Dexerto

    Varka in Genshin Impact: Everything you need to know HoYoverseVarka is a possible playable character in Genshin Impact. Here’s everything we know about him so far, including his abilities and weapon type. Genshin Impact features a number of unreleased characters, however, one that continues to be a mystery is Varka. Just like Baizhu and Kaveh, HoYoverse has teased Varka through numerous in-game references and character interactions. Varka is the current Grand Master and Knight of Boreas of the Knights of Favonius. This makes him a particularly important character within Mondstadt, but details surrounding the powerful warrior remain scarce. In order to prepare for Varka’s possible release in Genshin Impact, we’ve put together everything we know about his abilities and general role within the game’s story. Contents Who is Varka in Genshin Impact? – Is there a Varka release date in Genshin Impact? – Do we know Varka’s weapon type and abilities? – Is there a Varka banner in Genshin Impact? – Who is Varka in Genshin Impact? Varka is the current Grand Master of Mondstadt’s Knights of Favonius. However, Varka has since left all his duties to Jean – the game’s 5-star Anemo character. Prior to the Traveler’s appearance, Varka led an expedition outside of Mondstadt with a number of units from the Knights of Favonious. Quite who or what he is tracking remains to be seen, but Varka has yet to make an appearance in the game’s story or side quests. Despite this, a number of characters mention that Varka is both tall and incredibly strong, which suggests the Grand Master is an experienced combatant. Despite his experience, one leaker notes that Varka “looks young” and “doesn’t doesn’t have a beard”, which goes against many original interpretations of him. Is there a Varka release date in Genshin Impact? No, HoYoverse has yet to give Varka an official release date in Genshin Impact. However, according to a renowned Genshin Impact leaker, Varka will make an appearance in the 3.8 update. The Genshin Impact 3.8 update is currently rumored to release on July 5, 2023. Characters usually make an appearance in-game before they receive their own banner, so it’s not currently known whether Varka will be playable during this time. As always, we’ll be sure to update this section as soon as we hear more information. Do we know Varka’s weapon type and abilities? While HoYoverse has yet to reveal Varka’s abilities and weapon type, he is noted as having taught Razor how to use a claymore. This certainly doesn’t confirm Varka as a claymore user, but it would make sense, especially given his status as one of the most powerful people in Mondstadt. Childe famously called Varka the “titan of the Knights of Favonius” and aims to test his skills in combat.

  • Valkyrae reveals she quit Genshin Impact over one big problem with gacha game – Dexerto

    Valkyrae reveals she quit Genshin Impact over one big problem with gacha game miHoYo / YouTube: ValkyraeRachell ‘Valkyrae’ Hofstetter has finally told her YouTube fans why she suddenly quit playing Genshin Impact, ending months of speculation and regular requests to go back to the miHoYo gacha game after a long time away. Once upon a time, Genshin Impact was a major part of Valkyrae’s YouTube wheelhouse, with the streaming superstar often spending hours per broadcast grinding and opening packs in the flourishing gacha franchise. Genshin Impact was released on September 28, 2020, and the colorful gacha game immediately took the western world by storm. Among those swept up in the hype was YouTube queen Valkyrae, who dived into Teyvat in a big way — right up until she put the game down for good earlier this year. On October 14, however, a fan asked her to go back. The YouTuber turned down her fan’s request, however, explaining she probably won’t ever return to Genshin Impact due to one big problem with miHoYo’s game. The reason, Valkyrae revealed, is that after a certain stage, Genshin simply runs out of things to keep players entertained. Opening packs and “gambling,” as she said, was fun, but even that dried up eventually. “I don’t want to play Genshin Impact anymore,” she said. When Hofstetter was first playing miHoYo’s game, she “couldn’t get enough,” but as she continued grinding the ARPG, she felt like she ran out of things to do. Valkyrae explained: “The game just got too repetitive, so I ended up just stopping. The Genshin gameplay, it was just hard for me to get excited to play it anymore. It was really fun while I was addicted, and I think it’s a really beautiful game, but yeah, I just stopped and I probably won’t go back. “I do love the gacha system,” the YouTuber added, before laughing about how many packs she opened in her Genshin spree. “I do love it! Even the gambling.” Related segment begins at 32:27 in the video below. Back in her Genshin Impact heyday, Valkyrae declared miHoYo’s “addicting” game may be one of the best on the market, but that didn’t stop her drifting away. Since then she’s pivoted to playing Dead By Daylight, Grand Theft Auto Online, and a variety of flavor-of-the-month games, as well as returning to Among Us from time to time. The 100 Thieves star was also made co-owner of the org in April, and has gone on to appear in film clips for Machine Gun Kelly (playing Corpse Husband) and Bella Poarch. Recently, Valkyrae made the bold attempt to lure several Twitch stars to join her at YouTube amid the Amazon leaks that rocked the streaming community.

The latest to join this ever-growing list of talent is that of LilyPichu. Many fans will likely know of Lily through her video game and Just Chatting streams, but the streamer has also been involved in a number of voice-acting roles. In recent years, Lily has lent her voice to both anime and video games, with her latest appearance being in Genshin Impact. Since being announced as the English VA behind Sayu, Lily has gone on to release a short video clip of herself fandubbing a number of popular Genshin Impact characters. The Genshin Impact community was rightfully impressed by Lily’s performance, with many noting just how good her impressions were. “Ok, her Eula impression is actually very impressive, says OkDifficulty8293. Like no joke, if they secretly replace Suzie for Lilypichu as Eula’s new VA, I probably wouldn’t even notice it. Also, I personally think she does a better job at voicing Klee than the original VA and this is coming from a person who plays the game in English.” Read More: Genshin Impact Codes (July 2021) – A number of Genshin Impact players were also stunned at just how accurate her renditions were of characters she chose to imitate.

After hitting an enemy with either an Elemental Skill or Elemental Burst, you can decrease their Dendro RES by 30% for eight seconds. Alternatively, you could run the 4-piece Wanderer’s Troupe to really focus on Tighnari’s powerful Charged Attacks.

This effect can activate whether Tighnari is on the field or not. If you don’t have either 5-star weapon, we suggest running Scion of the Blazing Sun to deal 60% ATK as DMG after hitting an opponent with a Charged Attack.

To guarantee the Dendro-related reaction, we recommend having either a Geo or Anemo character in the fourth slot. We suggest either Zhongli or Kazuha for this role.

  • Tectone warns Genshin Impact players over “horribly broken” Yae Miko ability bugs – Dexerto

    Tectone warns Genshin Impact players over “horribly broken” Yae Miko ability bugs miHoYo/TectoneThe Genshin Impact Yae Miko banner is finally here, but a number of Travelers are encountering game-breaking bugs when using her abilities. Genshin Impact’s 2.5 update has introduced Yae Miko to the game, giving players the chance to unlock the new 5-star Electro character. While the Lady Guuji of the Grand Narukami Shrine has some powerful AoE attacks, players have already begun to encounter problems with her kit. Popular Genshin Impact streamer, Tectone, recently discovered that Yae Miko has two game-breaking bugs that completely ruin her damage potential. This is obviously a huge problem for any Travelers that aim to pull on the Yae Miko banner and use her as a sub or main DPS. Yae Miko game-breaking bugs “There’s two bugs happening right now with Yae Miko, that are pretty damn game-breaking,” said Tectone. “These are going to have to be patched 100%.” The streamer noted how there is currently one bug that affects players whenever her Elemental Burst is activated. Read More: Genshin Impact codes (February 2022) – Tectone demonstrated how he couldn’t move his mouse during the ult’s duration. Even when he could eventually adjust his cursor, there was a huge amount of input lag. This is obviously a frustrating bug that can lead to many deaths, especially if you’re surrounded by enemies. Timestamp of 1:24 The next bug is arguably the most game-breaking as it involves Yae Miko’s auto-targeting, which she heavily relies on to dish out damage. “It’s kind of the same issue we had with Yoimiya,” said Tectone. “Her targeting does not work how it is intended.” Read More: Best Yae Miko Genshin Impact build – During the Stormterror boss fight, Tectone showed how Yae Miko’s Elemental Skill rarely targets the boss. Instead, the electrical attacks hit Anemogranas rather than the actual boss. “I have no f*cking idea why it does that. I don’t know what to say about that, other than [Yae Miko] is horribly, horribly broken.” While this problem occurred on PC, it seems that Genshin Impact mobile users are also encountering similar problems. Hopefully, miHoYo can fix these Yae Miko bugs quickly before they cause even more issues.

  • Tectone reveals why Genshin Impact won’t be “scared” by Tower of Fantasy competition – Dexerto

    Tectone reveals why Genshin Impact won’t be “scared” by Tower of Fantasy competition Hotta Studio/HoYoverseTower of Fantasy has been dubbed the “Genshin killer” by many fans, but Tectone believes HoYoverse isn’t threatened by its new rival. Ever since its reveal, Genshin Impact fans have hoped that Tower of Fantasy would provide some much-needed competition to HoYoverse’s popular title. After all, a close rivalry would force each development studio to create better content that both communities can enjoy. While these free to play titles can coexist with one another, Tectone doesn’t believe that HoYoverse should even be “scared” by this new game. In fact, the streamer notes how Tower of Fantasy barely registers as a threat when compared to HoYoverse’s grasp on the gacha game market. Genshin Impact vs Tower of Fantasy “Do I think that Genshin is afraid of Tower of Fantasy? To be honest, no, I don’t think they are whatsoever,” said Tectone. “I mean, the very high-paying fanbase is incredibly loyal to the game, right? Genshin will be fine no matter what.” This is certainly true as according to Analyst firm Sensor Tower, Genshin Impact has earned $3 billion in revenue on mobile alone since its release, with the game averaging around $1 billion every six months. It’s because of this huge earning potential that Genshin Impact will likely remain unphased by Tower of Fantasy. Tectone also noted another reason as to why the devs have little to be concerned over. Timestamp of 2:55 “HoYoverse doesn’t give a f*ck about Genshin anymore,” said the streamer. “They’re going to move on over to Honkai: Star Rail, they’re going to move on over to Zenless Zone Zero and they’re going to dump all the resources into those games because that’s how the gacha business model works.” With two new upcoming titles and the recently announced Sumeru content, HoYoverse certainly has a lot of ways to retain and increase its playerbase and profits. Whether Tower of Fantasy will provide competition remains to be seen, but for now, Tectone doesn’t believe the so-called “Genshin killer” has what it takes.

  • Tectone reveals how Genshin Impact TCG could “spice up” the game – Dexerto

    Tectone reveals how Genshin Impact TCG could “spice up” the game HoYoverseThe Genshin Impact Genius Invokation TCG is right around the corner and Tectone has revealed how it could help improve the game’s lack of end-game content. During the Genshin Impact 3.1 livestream, HoYoverse revealed that a new TCG game mode will be added as a permanent mode. The Genius Invokation TCG will enable Travelers to battle AI and real-world opponents with various cards from Genshin Impact’s roster of characters. Not much is currently known about the Genshin Impact TCG, but the recent announcement and current leaks have fans hopeful. One particular content creator who has voiced their excitement over the game’s new mode is Tectone, who believes it could drastically improve the Genshin’s lackluster end-game content. “HoYoverse needs to make card drops random drops from mobs,” explained the streamer. “They can drop from any mob in the game. The harder they are to kill, the better the chance there is to have a drop – because this will actually make people explore your game, and actually do sh*t.” Genshin Impact players have been begging HoYoverse to add more permanent content to game since launch, but aside from Spiral Abyss and Artifact farming, the developers have yet to diversify the current activities Travelers can actually embark on. In fact, once players have completed the most recent story quests and farmed materials, there’s very little reason to ever explore each region. “The overworld is being used for absolutely nothing, except for gathering materials,” said Tectone. “Let’s spice up material gathering a little bit because I’ll be real, it’s really f*cking boring.” Timestamp of 3:41 In order to further utilize the game’s beautiful overworld and “spice up” mob farming, Tectone has come up with the following solution. “Once you collect X amount of copies, you can turn them into rare variants, where cards go from flat to live 2D, gold live 2D, or rainbow 2D.” This method would certainly make farming materials a lot more rewarding, especially for long-term players who have done everything within the game. While HoYoverse has yet to reveal how Travelers will unlock cards, we do know that the Genshin Impact TCG mode will feature 220 cards and 25 of them will be characters from the current playable character roster. There’s certainly enough units and enemy types that players could potentially farm for if the developers use a similar unlock system. However, for now, we’ll just have to wait and see what the developers have planned when the Genshin Impact TCG releases in the 3.3 update.

  • Tectone reveals his surprising Genshin Impact wishlist for 2.6 update – Dexerto

    Tectone reveals his surprising Genshin Impact wishlist for 2.6 update TectoneThe Genshin Impact 2.6 update is just around the corner and popular streamer Tectone has revealed all the things he wishes to see from the new patch. While many Travelers are still delving into the Genshin Impact 2.5 update, players will also be looking ahead to the 2.6 release date. Not only will this highly anticipated patch include The Chasm, but it will also feature Ayato – the game’s latest 5-star Hydro character. So far, there have been plenty of Genshin Impact leaks that have revealed a number of early gameplay from 2.6. Quite how accurate these leaks are remains to be seen, but for now, there is a lot of content to be excited about. Because of the general hype around the upcoming 2.6 release, Genshin Impact streamer Tectone has revealed what he’s most excited about. Tectone reveals Genshin Impact 2.6 wishlist Following his break from streaming Genshin Impact, popular content creator Tectone has returned to the world of Teyvat. It was during his recent upload that he explained a number of things he wants to see from the upcoming release. “I want new events and I want [HoYoverse] to make things harder,” explained Tectone. “I want the characters that are bugged to get fixed, I [also] want Ayato’s release to go without a hitch and for [him] to be absurdly broken.” Timestamp of 3:16 The streamer previously stated how frustrated he was over Yae Miko’s release, especially since the Grand Narukami Shrine priestess’ Elemental Skill was broken. As a result, Tectone hopes HoYoverse releases Ayato in a much better state. “I hope they fix Yae Miko’s targeting. I hate looking at it, it makes me sick – and honestly, it’s embarrassing,” said Tectone. The Genshin Impact content creator also hopes that the devs will reveal a new Artifact set that makes Yae Miko more powerful, while also enabling Travelers to farm new Domains.
