| | PCGamesN Monday, October 18, 2021 6:55 AM | |  Minecraft mobs are the living entities in Minecraft - short for mobile, these sometimes adorable, sometimes aggressive creatures can be found roaming the many biomes of the blocky universe. They will interact and respond to you, other players, and other mobs, whether that's a creeper knocking at your door, or a pig in the pen in your back garden. Minecraft mobs are susceptible to the same physics and environmental changes that affect players, such as catching fire or drowning. They can be attacked and killed with weapons, and when killed drop resources and experience points, with hostile mobs dropping rarer items on occasion. In Creative mode, Minecraft mobs will never attack you, but can be divided into three behavioural categories in Survival and Hardcore modes, which include passive, neutral, and hostile. Utility mobs iron golem and snow golem, can be crafted to assist you against hostile mobs. Trusting mobs can't be tamed, but have a special behaviour when interacted with and include dolphins, ocelot and even the adorable Minecraft fox. Here's a list of all the mobs and monsters that can be found wandering the vast Minecraft landscape. RELATED LINKS: Minecraft console commands, Minecraft skins, Minecraft mods

| | PCGamesN Monday, October 18, 2021 6:45 AM | |  Want to know how to create your own Minecraft book? Books can be used for enchanting, crafting, or even to make your very own Minecraft enchanting table and a lovingly crafted bookshelf to go alongside it. Books can also be enchanted themselves and, combined with a Minecraft anvil, they can enchant other items, such as your weapons or your Minecraft shield. There are a few ways to get your hands on enchanted books: you can trade them with librarian villagers, find them in rare pillager raid drops, or even from fishing. If you've got an abundance of these enchanted books, you can disenchant them using a Minecraft grindstone. There are other ways of obtaining normal books, you can get three books by mining a bookshelf, but if you'd rather save yourself the trouble, here's everything you need to know about creating a Minecraft book yourself. The number one ingredient you need to make a book is, of course, paper, so here are all the details you need to get started. RELATED LINKS: Minecraft console commands, Minecraft skins, Minecraft mods

| | PCGamesN Monday, October 18, 2021 6:43 AM | |  We often write about Doom running on things like Twitter, a digital camera, and even a pregnancy test - sort of - but some other cool mod projects are going on, too. We recently covered a Doom project that is turning the classic FPS into a fighting game, and someone else has created an entire Age of Empires 2 campaign based on Doom. Now, though, we can add Star Wars Battlefront 2 to the list of games to get the Doom treatment. Doomfront is a Star Wars Battlefront 2 mod that introduces Doom-inspired Marines and Demons to the game. You can play as the UAC Marines or Demon Invaders, facing off in venues that take inspiration from classic id Software titles. You can duke it out in Team Deathmatch or fight for zone supremacy in Conquest, at the time of writing. More content is on the horizon, too. Mod creator bk2modder explains that they plan to "slowly roll out more content for the mod", such as additional units and maps. A few heroes "may make their debut", too.

| | PCGamesN Monday, October 18, 2021 5:59 AM | |  Want to know the best MP5 Warzone attachments and setup? It's no surprise that one of the strongest submachine guns in core multiplayer is also one of the best SMGs in Warzone. Whether you own Black Ops Cold War or Modern Warfare, you should have two MP5s in your arsenal. No need for confusion, though; we're here to help you get the best out of both weapons with mods. Both MP5s are relatively easy to unlock; the Cold War MP5 is available from level 4, and the Modern Warfare MP5 at level 12. Though the differences between the two weapons may seem minor, if you're looking for the competitive edge in Warzone Season 6, it's worth sticking with the Cold War MP5. The CW MP5 has a faster time to kill speed and it features higher mobility stats. Both are excellent choices for a secondary weapon - you'll want to use the Overkill perk to run your chosen MP5 with a long-range weapon too; we recommend incorporating them into a Kar98k loadout. An assault rifle combo also works well with the MP5, so consider picking the Cold War AK47, QBZ-83, or FARA 83 loadout.

| | PCGamesN Monday, October 18, 2021 5:26 AM | |  Looking for the best FFAR loadout in Warzone? The FFAR is listed as an assault rifle, but with the right set of attachments you can transform this weapon into something more akin to an SMG. For the first two seasons of Warzone after the Cold War integration, the FFAR 1 was far and away the best assault rifle in Warzone. In Warzone Season 6, the FFAR has been nerfed multiple times to bring its time to kill speed down to a normal level. This weapon can still be threatening in the right hands, but you need to equip specific attachments to reduce the slow aim down sight time. There is no other assault rifle in Warzone that features low recoil alongside incredibly quick movement speed when aiming down sights. The loadout we've selected for the FFAR places it closer to the Mac-10 and Modern Warfare's MP5, two excellent weapons that provide the FFAR with tough competition. If you're looking for a gun that can handle taking down enemies at a point blank range and in close quarters battles, the FFAR is the weapon for you. To get the most out of the FFAR, check out our LW3 Tundra and the best Swiss K31 loadout to combat enemies from a distance.

| | PCGamesN Monday, October 18, 2021 5:57 AM | |  Wondering what the next Genshin Impact banner is? Genshin Impact banners adhere to a pretty regular schedule. Each update arrives with a new banner that lasts around three weeks, and after it expires, it's followed by a second banner which also lasts roughly three weeks, at which point it's update time once again. This means even though we hear rumours of new Genshin Impact characters arriving in forthcoming updates, we won't know their exact release date until we know which banner they will be a part of, and whether it'll be the first or second banner in the update. Occasionally, banners don't stick to this schedule - most notably, update 1.3 had three two-week banners, so that Hu Tao's banner didn't cross over with the Chinese New Year. Typically, each limited character banner - or Event Wish - contains a five-star character, and three four-star characters. There's also a Weapon banner - Epitome Invocation - which runs alongside each character banner, and features different weapons each time. Here's everything you need to know about the current and upcoming Genshin Impact banners.

| | PCGamesN Monday, October 18, 2021 4:46 AM | |  You may have the best gaming mouse, the best gaming monitor and the best gaming keyboard; now you just need a fancy new gaming desk to bring it all together. Anyone looking to revamp their gaming set-up while saving some serious bucks will be delighted by the news that the SD Gaming Challenger Desk is now just $178.99 at Best Buy - a saving of over $190.. So what makes this desk so great? Well, for one thing it comes with two built-in USB chargers, so you can easily recharge any of your wireless devices without having to unplug everything that's hooked up to your PC in the hope of finding a spare socket. Another bonus is the fact that it's been designed to easily accommodate anybody using a dual-screen layout, with plenty of space for two monitors. Plus, though there's more than enough space for your legs and chair to slide neatly underneath, it also comes with two shelves for extra peripheral storage you require. Finally, it has both a cup holder and a special hook to hold gaming headsets keeping your space organised and you well hydrated. If its features aren't enough to swing it, it's also a good-looking piece of furniture. The timeless black and grey colour scheme should fit with the decor of virtually any gaming room while the powder-coated finish on its surfaces gives it a tactile finish that's comfortable to use and easy to clean.

| | PCGamesN Monday, October 18, 2021 5:16 AM | |  What is a Minecraft Nether portal? This supernatural portal is a gateway between worlds, separating the overworld (Minecraft as we know it) to Nether dimensions (a menacing hellscape full of hostile mobs). If you want to access the Nether, your only way in is through this ominous purple door, so, how do you use a Nether portal to travel to the Nether? Once you've created your Nether portal design, you can use it to teleport to the Nether. To do this, simply enter the portal and in four seconds you'll be transported to a hellish landscape full of lava and monsters. Most Minecraft mobs and other objects can enter or exit the Nether portal in Minecraft, with the exception of a Minecraft wither and the ender dragon - they definitely don't belong in the sunny side of Minecraft. There are few reasons to build a Minecraft Nether portal, as you've got to really love spending time fighting your way out of sticky situations. Hostile mobs such as ghasts, skeletons, and zombie pigmen descend on you as you traverse waves of lava in this cavernous environment. There are, however, more than a few reasons to visit this dread-filled dimension. It's a hotspot for crafting resources such as Minecraft netherite and if you've got any hope of creating the most sought after items, the Minecraft beacon, you'll need to swing by the Nether and pick up a few things. So, here's how to get to the Nether in Minecraft using a portal. RELATED LINKS: Minecraft console commands, Minecraft skins, Minecraft mods

| | PCGamesN Monday, October 18, 2021 4:35 AM | |  The nights grow darker and the air chillier as we make our way towards the end of League of Legends' 2021 patch schedule. League of Legends patch 11.20 has sailed onto the MOBA game's live battlegrounds and its follow-up has now hit the PBE for its fortnight of testing. So, let's see what's in store for League of Legends patch 11.21, shall we? If you've been keeping a close eye on League's Twitter channels, you've probably had an early peek at the batch of new skins headed its way with 11.21. This patch is all about the Dragonmancer alternate universe, with new styles for Kai'Sa, Karma, Thresh, Volibear, and Yasuo on the way. The latter two are particularly special, with Volibear getting a Prestige Edition, while Yasuo's two skins are legendary variants, bringing new voiceovers, as well as new animations, VFX, SFX, and more. You can check all of these out in the New Champion Skins section below. Elsewhere, we've got a VFX update coming up for The Dark Sovereign, Syndra with 11.21. "Similar to the previous VFX updates we've made in the past (Ziggs, Zilean, Malzahar, etc), we're working on updates to the visual effects (VFX) of champions whose spell effects are in need of some love," senior visual effects artist Riot Sirhaian explains. "Our aim is to get their VFXs to current League standards and improve gameplay clarity. This time, it's Syndra's turn, for 11.21's PBE patch!"

| | PCGamesN Monday, October 18, 2021 4:42 AM | |  Want to know where to find the golden skulls secrets in Back 4 Blood? There is one golden skull hidden in a secret place in each chapter of the game. While you don't unlock anything other than an achievement for finding each of the ten golden skulls, they can be fun to seek out for that extra bit of challenge. You can't miss any golden skulls, and you can technically find them in both the co-op and solo campaigns. However, the achievements only trigger if you're playing in the co-op campaign. If you're trying to unlock Jim, Karlee, Doc, and Hoffman in Back 4 Blood, this will be a familiar problem. To get the golden skulls, simply select one of the Back 4 Blood campaign acts and head to the specific location, then make sure to interact with them to unlock the achievement. In this guide, we'll be going over all of the Back 4 Blood golden skull secret locations and how to find them. Each skull here is in chronological order from the act selection screen.

A few missions into Act 1, you'll come across the Bar Room Blitz mission. Sure, there are some story points about distracting zombies and saving people, but this mission is a smash-hit for one reason. There's a jukebox that plays some very cool tunes in the background whilst you shoot, slash, and slaughter zombies from every angle. If you really like that one scene in Shaun Of The Dead, then this will be your fever dream. This guide will show you all of the songs that you can hear on the Back 4 Blood jukebox, so that you can repeatedly replay Bar Room Blitz whilst waiting for someone to inevitably get Simon Pegg and Nick Frost to play the mission on Youtube.
