Dying Light still hasn’t stopped making fun of Destiny’s Red Bull DLC promotion

In June Destiny partnered with energy drink Red Bull on a campaign that saw players buying cans in order to unlock in-game DLC. Dying Light developer Techland took this as an opportunity to poke fun at the competition with its own campaign that urged players to drink water – any water – in order to unlock DLC in its game.

The joke campaign took off, reaching thousands of retweets, and Techland doubled down on the campaign, promising actual DLC packs based on the number of affiliated tweets. The company wasn’t kidding, as earlier this week the company tweeted a preview of the first (and possibly only) DLC to be released as a result of the campaign.

“You stayed hydrated and won 2 free DLCs for everyone,” the image in the tweet reads. The first piece of DLC is a new quest titled Fountain of Youth that sees players bringing clean water back to the quarantine zone. The second is a blueprint for a new in-game weapon, the water balloon, which makes groups of enemies “super vulnerable to electricity.”

While it was initially said that DLC would unlock at 10,000, 20,000, 35,000, and 50,000 affiliated tweets, it’s unclear if this means that 20,000 was met, hence two pieces of DLC, or it more is possibly on the way. Either way, DLC for doing nothing but drinking a glass of water and tweeting about it isn’t a bad deal.

This isn’t the only new content coming to Dying Light. Last month Techland released a trailer for an upcoming expansion to the game titled The Following. Unlike the main game, which takes place in a quarantined city, the expansion looks almost like an entirely different game, letting the player roam the countryside with the help of a their trusty dune buggy.

The DLC has not yet been added to the game, but according to the tweet it is “coming soon.” No release date for The Following has been announced so far either.

Is Manor Lords multiplayer or co-op?

A medieval market in Manor Lords.

You can easily lose hours designing your village and appeasing your citizens in Manor Lords all by yourself. There are so many different avenues to achieve victory, but the only competition or help you can normally find is in the form of NPCs. Other factions around the map can be helpful or harmful depending on how you play, but what if you wanted to team up with a friend to combine resources, or perhaps compete to see who can crush the other first? Many strategy and city builders thrive on multiplayer components, but does Manor Lords offer those same modes? Make sure you know the answer before making your purchase if that's your intention.
Is there multiplayer or co-op in Manor Lords?
To cut to the chase, the answer is no. Manor Lords is a purely single-player experience through and through. There are no cooperative or competitive modes in the game at all, so there's no way to interact with anyone else either on PC or console. This game was just released out of early access, and there is plenty of content on the way, however, we regret to inform you that multiplayer is not in the plans for the time being.

One developer took to the Steam forums to release an FAQ on the game. One question specifically asked if there is any multiplayer or cooperative gameplay in the game. The response said that "he focus is on a refined single-player experience, with no multiplayer or cooperative modes planned at the moment."

How to get a gun in Another Crab’s Treasure

Kril has a gun

Another Crab's Treasure no doubt looks like a kid-friendly game, but hiding beneath its charming and cute exterior is a challenging soulslike experience that can test the mettle of genre veterans. Those who either can't or don't want to engage with such intense difficulty throughout this underwater adventure can make great use of a variety of assists. Among these is a rather shocking, but hilarious option that can completely negate nearly all of the game's challenge while providing some laughs along the way. Here's how to get a gun in Another Crab's Treasure.
How to get a gun
To give yourself a gun in Another Crab's Treasure, head over to the Settings menu. Navigate to Assist Mode at the bottom of the menu, then scroll to the bottom once more to a setting called Give Kril a Gun. Toggle this on, then back out and resume your game to find that Kril now has a massive pistol on his back in place of a shell.

This new gun on your back provides you with more than just a funny visual, though -- it actually allows you to shoot and kill any enemy in a single hit, nearly eliminating all of the challenge from the game. Additionally, if you're after trophies or achievements, the first time you shoot a crab with the gun will also unlock "This Kills the Crab."
