Why is The Title such a good SMG?

The Title is an interesting new addition to the weapon Pool in Destiny 2. It’s a Void Energy SMG with a high rate of fire, and a one-of-a-kind perk called Classy Contender. This perk is activated by final blows, and regenerates a portion of your class ability energy, the fuel that enables Hunters to disappear with dodges, Warlocks to drop healing aura, and Titans to form barricades. These are powerful abilities that Guardians will build entire loadouts around, and being able to reuse them with great frequency can have major ramifications in both PVE and PVP. Add a second, randomized perk slot, and The Title can be an outstanding weapon in skilled hands.

How to unlock The Title

In order to earn The Title you must engage with The Guardian Games, the annual contest that pits Hunters, Warlocks, and Titans against one another to see who can earn and redeem the most medals, primarily earned by completing special bounties.

Start by visiting Eva Levante in The Tower. She’s hard to miss, standing front and center when you load into the central area. Speak to her, and she will give you the Best in Class quest, with a series of objectives intended to introduce you to the key components of the Guardian Games. She’ll give you a snazzy class item to wear and ask you to purchase one of her Contender Cards.

Next, you need to collect 10 laurels and some medallions. These are incredibly easy to collect. Head into any strike. Any enemy you kill with a class ability or any boss enemy will drop medallions, provided you are wearing your Guardian Games-themed class item. Medallions will accrue as you complete activities, and clearing one strike will be plenty for this step. Once you have your laurels and medallion, return to Eva Levante in the Tower. She will reward your amazingly minor efforts with the Medallion Case, an item that appears in your quest inventory to hold a limited number of Laurels and Medals. Walk to the white structure behind Eva and find a button corresponding to your class of guardian to turn in your medals, then return to Eva and speak to her once again.

Now, visit Zavala at his usual haunt near the edge of the tower. He will give you a new quest called Medallion Battalion, and unlock the Guardian Games: Recreational playlist. Launch that playlist from the tower map, and complete whatever activity it puts you into. Talk to Zavala again to let him know of your success, and he will assign you another new mission, and unlock the Guardian Games: Training playlist.

Finally, you can return to Eva and complete the Best in Class quest. She will give you her thanks and, more importantly, The Title as a token of appreciation. If you aren’t in love with the version of The Title she gives you, you can farm the gun by continuing to collect and turn in Medallions. Higher-tier Medallions like Gold and Platinum have an increased chance to award The Title when turned in. Each new drop of the gun will have a randomized second perk, so there is sure to be a version that matches your playstyle.

The best skills to buy first in Another Crab’s Treasure
Another Crab's Treasure

If you're looking for a quirky underwater adventure, Another Crab's Treasure has you covered with its kelp forests, unusual sand-dwelling NPCs, and creative gameplay mechanics. However, it's worth noting that it's also a challenging soulslike experience that is certain to leave you facing off against some enemies multiple times before felling them. One way to help this along is to invest in the game's skills, which often grant you some entirely new attacks or passive abilities that drastically change up the way you approach combat.

There are three skill trees, but you can mix and match between them as you see fit. And luckily, thorough explorers shouldn't have a problem unlocking most of the skills by the end of the game. Here are our picks for the best ones to buy first to increase your chances of getting there.

Invoker

Remnant 2 is a massive game that already boasts nearly endless replayability, but that isn't stopping developer Gunfire Games from adding even more to do in the popular looter shooter. The game's new DLC, The Forgotten Kingdom, provides players with a substantial amount of extra stuff to check out, such as new biomes to explore, an additional archetype known as The Invoker, and plenty of fresh enemies to take down. If you're ready to see all of what The Forgotten Kingdom DLC has to offer, read on to learn how to access it from within the game.
How to start The Forgotten Kingdom DLC
The first step in accessing The Forgotten Kingdom DLC is to ensure you've purchased and downloaded it. You can buy the standalone version from your respective storefront for $10, or you can opt to snag the $25 bundle, which includes The Awakened King, The Forgotten Kingdom, and another future DLC that has yet to be announced. If you intend to play the full trilogy of DLCs, the former is your best option, as you'll save five bucks off the total cost of all three.

Once you've purchased and downloaded the DLC, you'll be ready to access The Forgotten Kingdom by visiting a World Stone and opening Adventure Mode. You'll need to have completed the Yaesha biome at least one time. At that point, you can select "Reroll Adventure Mode" and choose The Forgotten Kingdom: One Shot on the right, which will notably give you exclusive DLC content your first time through. Keep in mind that while this initial run won't feature any older content, your subsequent playthroughs of Yaesha will weave DLC areas in with main campaign content.
