Month: January 2021

Fortnite has updated battle royale to v15.21, and this update may seem small in terms of the total number of changes it brings, but they are still significant. They include the introduction of a certain boss character who may give you and your friends a bit of a scare. There isn’t a traditionally-organized set of patch notes, but we’ve laid out all the changes the update brought below.

The biggest addition with v15.21 is the “new boss character,” which is the Predator itself. You can find the boss so you can kill the Predator and get its skin. You can also get a cloaking device mythic item, which can temporarily make you nearly invisible. This will give you a huge advantage in hectic firefights. You can check out a full video of the fight below from YouTuber creator HarryNinetyFour.

The update also comes with new Jungle Hunter quests. These are related to the Predator, as well, and you’ll need to complete them in order to unlock additional cosmetic items for the Predator theme. IO Guards have also been removed from The Arena, which should make things a little less frustrating if you’re into that mode.

The Fall Guys community has received some mixed messages today about whether or not the battle royale game is coming to Xbox Game Pass, but the official word is that it is not.

This all kicked off after it was discovered in a comment on Instagram that Fall Guys would be coming to Xbox Game Pass. The person running the Xbox Game Pass account said “it’s coming” when someone called for the game to release into the subscription catalog.

However, publisher Devolver Digital quickly followed up to say, “That’s incorrect.” In another tweet, the publisher said, “There are no plans for Fall Guys to come to any form of Gamepass,” a comment that sought to clear up confusion regarding the console vs. PC versions of Game Pass.

Amazon’s sublime period dramedy The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel has reportedly begun production on Season 4 in New York. According to Deadline, production began on Wednesday, with the entire series cast returning–and everyone following COVID safety protocols. Series star Rachel Brosnahan recently posted a peek at her costume for the upcoming season on Instagram, wearing a dress, big floppy hat, and a COVID mask. No release date for this season has yet been announced.

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel began in 2017 and is the story of Miriam “Midge” Maisel’s quest to push against gender norms of the 1950s to become a stand-up comedian. This act of following her heart precipitates a divorce and further inspires those around her–especially her family and in-laws–to question if they’re living the lives they really want to.

Hitman 3‘s first destination is an opulent one. The Scepter skyscraper is an engineering feat for the ages, but it’s also home to the next two targets on Agent 47’s list: Carl Ingram and Marcus Stuyvesant. Having faked their deaths, Ingram and Stuyvesant have holed up in the newly-erected building that sits in the heart of Dubai, and it’s up to Agent 47 to make certain that the duo is disposed of before he can dismantle the rest of the Providence organization.

There’s no shortage of methods with which to dispose of your targets here. From skydiving with shredded parachutes to a round of golf that ends with an explosive swing of the club, here’s how you can cross two more names off of your hitlist.

Dubai is the opening mission for Hitman 3 and eases you into the wild world of assassination. It’s fairly basic in terms of objectives and the complexity of its Mission Stories. For those new to Hitman, the Mission Stories are events that occur within the mission that lead to opportunities to assassinate your targets or grant you access to the necessary objective to complete your mission.

Mission Stories are good for first-time runs and help you understand the level, but don’t exactly hold your hand. In this guide we’ll walk you through the Mission Stories, highlight the quirks you need to consider, and provide tips for how best to complete them. For more on the game, be sure to check out our Hitman 3 guide hub for walkthroughs on every mission and tips on how to complete special assassination challenges in Dubai.

(In)Security

This one grants you access to eliminate Marcus Stuyvesant cleanly. The best way to go about this is to head to your first marker, which leads you through the main bar and upstairs near the security room; stand nearby and eavesdrop on the Mission Story reveal.

Dartmoor, Death In The Family, is one of the more interesting Hitman levels because it involves solving a murder mystery. Your target, Alexa Carlisle, has faked her death, so a fake funeral is being arranged at the family manor, but another family member was found dead in his room the night before. The real death was made to look like a suicide, but Alexa suspects foul play. Solving this mystery is fascinating and part of the mission’s challenges, but it also lets you take care of your real objectives–including locating the case file–in the process.

One of the Mission Stories leads you through the whole investigation but doesn’t spell everything out for you. In addition, our guide will look at the other Mission Stories to help you in case you need pointers or get stuck.

Means, Motive, And Opportunity

This one covers the murder mystery and it’s the best one to start with for first-time playthroughs of this mission. The investigator will start at the gates near you, and you’ll need to take his place to uncover the mystery yourself. Tail him by taking the side path on the right through tall grass up until you reach the manor. Stay out of guards’ sights by continuing to stick to the right of the investigator’s path and hop through an open window at the front right of the manor. You’ll be in a hallway right of the main foyer. The investigator will eventually walk through here alone, and this is your best opportunity to knock him out and steal his disguise. You can hide his body in a nearby closet in this hallway.

Some big things are about to happen in Chongqing for the fourth mission in Hitman 3. The pouring rain, bright neon lights, and high-tech human experimentation going on really give this one a heavy cyberpunk vibe. You have two targets: Imogen Royce and Hush. Both can be assassinated in fascinating ways where you turn their impressive tech against them, which you can do through the Mission Stories.

As per usual, one Mission Story lets you take care of both your objectives in one fell swoop, while the other two are conceptually satisfying. Mission Stories will lead you to opportunities, but often leave you to figure the rest out; we’ll guide you through both if you’re having trouble with that.

Impulse Control

This Mission Story is to hit the target named Hush, who runs human experiments and uses homeless people to do so. The first step is to eavesdrop on a group of homeless people marked on your UI. Grab the crowbar near them, as this will come in handy later. One of them will begin walking off on his own, and you should follow him to find an opportunity to knock him out and steal his outfit. People will show up sporadically along the path so be careful. He also drops a flyer for the Future Progress Initiative, which gives you a location hint for where Hush is posted up.
