Destroy Sideways rocks

Remember, The Sideways areas pop up on your map as purple circles, so look out for them periodically as you play, because they constantly appear throughout any given match. Once inside, you’ll see a handful of monsters and rocks. Break down two of the rocks any way you see fit to earn credit.

Launch from a corruption vent in The Sideways

Within The Sideways are corruption vents, which are essentially geysers on the ground. When you walk over the top of them, you’ll be launched into the air. Do this once to complete the challenge.

Arguably the hardest challenge requires you to take out cube monsters within 15 seconds of landing after gliding. Remember those corruption vents from before? Use them to glide into the air and upon landing, immediately open fire on the monsters. It helps if you damage them a little before bouncing from the vent so you don’t have to spend as much time shooting them. Keep in mind, you don’t have to take out all three enemies consecutively.

Get headshots from above

This challenge is more situational than before, so be on the lookout for enemies and make sure you take the high ground before engaging. The easiest way to do this is to play a team mode like duos, trios, or quads, and down an enemy player. Once they’re down, build a ramp to get above them and then take them out using headshots. Repeat this one more time to check the quest off your list.

Destroy chests with a harvesting tool

The final challenge is one of the easiest of the bunch. Instead of opening a chest normally, attack it with your harvesting tool. It’ll take a few good whacks to break it open, but it’s easy to do. Destroy two chests to complete this challenge.

AMD is quietly building a frame generation mode that beats Nvidia at its own game
AMD's next frame generation trick might make your GPU pump out seven extra frames for free.
AMD RX 7800

AMD has been hinting at Multi-Frame Generation for its Radeon cards for a while now, and it looks like the company is further along than it has let on. Preliminary support quietly showed up in the ADLX FidelityFX SDK back in April with the FSR Redstone update, letting users pick a frame generation ratio for the best mix of performance and image quality.

Since then, AMD has shipped several big driver updates, including FSR 4.1.1. As reported by Wccftech, a user on the Chiphell forums used a tool called RadeonTuner to dig through the Adrenalin 26.6.2 WHQL drivers and found options AMD has not talked about publicly. RadeonTuner is a cleaner, more user-friendly take on the Adrenalin software, and it can surface features that live inside the driver but never appear in the official app.

I wouldn’t have recommended this Nintendo Switch 2 accessory before, but this deal changes everything
Nintendo Switch 2

Buying a Nintendo Switch 2 isn't exactly cheap these days, especially after Nintendo's recent US price adjustments. That's why it's refreshing to see one of the console's accessories getting an unexpectedly deep discount.

If you've ignored the official Nintendo Switch 2 Camera because it seemed overpriced, now might be the perfect time to take another look. GameStop has slashed the accessory to just $10, a huge drop from its regular $55 asking price. That's roughly 82% off, making it one of the best Switch 2 deals we've seen in a while. To put that into perspective, the camera now costs less than many Switch 2 carrying cases or screen protectors. At this price, it's much easier to take a chance on an accessory you may have skipped at launch.

Well… at least God of War Laufey is getting a physical disc
Santa Monica Studio quietly confirmed the upcoming adventure won't be download-only.

Last week, Sony lit the gaming community on fire by announcing that all new PlayStation games released from January 2028 onwards would be digital-only, effectively bringing an end to physical discs for future releases. At the same time, the company also confirmed it would shut down the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita digital stores by July 2027, reinforcing concerns that digital storefronts and the games tied to them don't last forever. Unsurprisingly, the announcements triggered widespread backlash from collectors and long-time PlayStation fans. In the middle of all that, Santa Monica Studio offered a surprisingly comforting update: God of War Laufey will be available on disc. It's only one sentence, but it says a lot.

More than just a physical release
