PCGamesN Monday, January 16, 2023 7:59 AM  The best MW2 MP5 loadout is of course down to personal preference, but you've come to the right place if you want to know where to start when building one. Renamed the Lachmann Sub in Modern Warfare 2, the MP5 has long been one of the best guns in Call of Duty multiplayer, so it's worth knowing the best attachments to unlock for it. The MW2 MP5 is unlocked in the Gunsmith system as part of the Lachmann and Meer weapon platform. In order to get the best Modern Warfare 2 SMG in your loadout, you'll first need to level the Lachman 762 to level 12, and the Lachman 556 to level 13.

PCGamesN Monday, January 16, 2023 7:56 AM  Looking for the Minecraft ray tracing shader? Real-time lighting effects are a highlight of high-fidelity games like Battlefield V and Metro Exodus, but they're also available in the chunky world of Minecraft. In time, both Nvidia and a single modder have created ray tracing shaders to improve the game's lighting dramatically. Okay, so unless you're using the official Nvidia-supported version, it's not ray tracing, exactly. Technically, the rendering method modder Sonic Ether uses to create real-time global illumination in Minecraft is called path tracing. The difference is that path tracing uses rays that bounce many times throughout a scene, but the effect is similar to that of ray tracing: gorgeously-lit and shadowed scenes, even in something as simple-looking as Minecraft, and it's one of the best ways to play one of the best PC games ever.

PCGamesN Monday, January 16, 2023 7:46 AM  The best Warzone 2 MP5 Lachmann Sub loadout is an excellent all-round weapon that perfectly compliments a long-range primary weapon.

The attachments used for this loadout look to improve your aim down sight speed while keeping your mobility high, so you'll still be able to react if an enemy gets too close for comfort.

PCGamesN Monday, January 16, 2023 7:40 AM  Wondering how to make the Minecraft End portal? If you want to travel to the secret dimension known as The End, only one means of transport will get you there. Leaping into another dimension takes commitment, as once you dip a toe in the End portal, there's no backing out. We're sure you've got your reasons for visiting the End. Maybe it's because you want to complete one of the best PC games out there. Perhaps it's because you want to take down the fearsome Ender Dragon, maybe you need some precious resources like End Stone or Chorus, or perhaps, like us, you just like the bleak endless view of the void. Whatever your reason, you'll need to hop into an End Portal to get there. Continue reading How to make a Minecraft End portal MORE FROM PCGAMESN: Minecraft seeds, Minecraft skins, Minecraft mods |

PCGamesN Monday, January 16, 2023 7:38 AM  With the best Minecraft shaders, you can instantly level up the look of your Minecraft world - even without a fancy schmancy RTX graphics card. But with so many downloadable mods for the sandbox game, if you're unsure, let's start with what Minecraft shaders even are. One of the best PC games of all time and the ongoing king of sandbox games, Minecraft has incredible replayability, keeping fans and newbies coming to the game time after time. While the vanilla game itself gets regular updates, with the Minecraft 1.20 release date coming soon, Minecraft mods, texture packs, resource packs, and shaders can completely reinvent the game, with the latter affecting its overall look. Mods can completely alter gameplay, and Minecraft texture packs and resource packs change the appearance of existing blocks and add new blocks respectively. Meanwhile, shader packs give you the same game, but just with fancier graphics and effects.

Riot has started the 2023 League of Legends season strong, with a set of daily puzzles all centred around a specific mystery champion, only revealed when you figure out the quote attached to the mission.

PCGamesN Monday, January 16, 2023 7:05 AM  Want to know how to use the Hogwarts Legacy Room of Requirement and what purpose it serves in the upcoming RPG? Fans of the Harry Potter books will know of the Room of Requirement ever since a reference to it in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. However, it makes its first appearance in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix as a chamber that presents itself whenever a person truly needs it. Thankfully, you meet the requirements of needing its services since, in this contender for one of the best PC games this year, you are a Hogwarts student catching up on several years of missed witchcraft and wizardry education.

PCGamesN Monday, January 16, 2023 6:31 AM  Want to learn more about the Street Fighter 6 release date? The next evolution of the Street Fighter series is almost here, focusing heavily on single-player elements to ensure there's plenty of content for every level of fighter. Street Fighter 5 was heavily criticised at launch for its lack of playable content outside of versus mode and while this satisfied most high-level players, casual players found there was very little to keep them entertained. Capcom has taken its time developing Street Fighter 6 to ensure they don't repeat the same mistakes again. It features a brand new single-player story mode which gives players a chance to explore Metro City as a custom fighter. Street Fighter 6 is shaping up to become one of the best fighting games and potentially one of the best PC games overall. The Street Fighter 6 release date has been officially confirmed for Q2 2022.

PCGamesN Monday, January 16, 2023 6:41 AM  Medieval games are less common than you might think. Rare is the videogame that doesn't feature at least one sword, suit of armour, or roast chicken, but they're usually mixed in with bearded hermits slinging magic fireballs, which we're reliably informed your average medieval peasant had very little knowledge of. To that end, we've assembled a list of the best PC games that eschew all the prophecy and pyrotechnics for good old-fashioned steel-on-steel action. Medieval games come in all different shapes and sizes, with some opting for a more fantasy game style. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is, after all, no basis for a system of government. Similarly, a level ten Necromancer against a blacksmith wearing a potato sack is no basis for a fair fight.

PCGamesN Monday, January 16, 2023 5:41 AM  Turn-based strategy games bring out the more cerebral undertones of the genre – the break afforded by 'turns' allows us to think, ponder and plan our moves with as much expert precision as we can muster. Witnessing that master plan unfold can create untold levels of satisfaction, and suddenly you fancy yourself the master tactician. This genre is also home to the 'one more turn' trope - that feeling of near-addiction that compels you to click the 'End Turn' button just one more time to see what happens. Maybe you're waiting to see the outcome of a daring attack, maybe you're just trying to click through some downtime.

Whether drawn in by the position of authority, the puzzling casework, or even the hard-drinking: police games deliver plenty of action and intrigue. However, cops aren't all gunslingers in John Woo-esque shootouts or chasing criminals in high-speed car chases.

The newest Genshin Impact Character Demo trailer is here, and it starts Yaoyao. She's the latest Liyue unit to appear in the game. The four-star will be the region's first Dendro character. While the video mostly focuses on showing off her English voice actor and the unit in-game, a number of follow-up clips show her Elemental Skill and Burst. First, here's the Genshin Impact Yaoyao Character Demo trailer. It notes she's familiar enough with the various adepti to refer to some of them as Auntie Cloud Retainer and Uncle Mountain Shaper. Yuegui, her companion, is a gift to her from one adepti. The video also shows her wandering around Liyue and fighting enemies in the region, as well as visiting a village that might be her hometown. Next, here's her Raphanus Sky Cluster Elemental Skill, which involves Yuegui healing or attacking.
Finally, here's the Moonjade Descent, which involves multiple Yuegui appearing.
Genshin Impact is available for the PS4, PS5, PC, and mobile devices, and Yaoyao will appear once update 3.4 debuts on January 18, 2023. She will be a focus unit on both the Alhaitham and Xiao banners. The post Genshin Impact Yaoyao Trailer Shows Her Spear Training appeared first on Siliconera. |

Square Enix shared information about gameplay elements that will appear in Kingdom Hearts: Missing Link. These details specifically concern travel, along with the two different ways players can play the title. Kingdom Hearts: Missing Link will also feature an AP system, similar to other mobile games, which means players will spend stamina to engage in battles, but is a bit different between its two gameplay modes. Concerning the two different gameplay systems players can use in Kingdom Hearts: Missing Link, one option is using the "GPS" function and the "gamepad" function. The GPS function will track player movement as you walk, whereas the gamepad function will allow you to control your character without needing to move. Players can also use a "hands-free" feature for combat while in GPS mode. Players can also obtain AP through battles in GPS mode. However, AP will be expended through the gamepad function. This means that AP and obtaining treasure chests will cost stamina. Alternating between these two functions will allow for players to spend and acquire stamina. [embed]https://twitter.com/KHDR_PR/status/1613702938744221698[/embed] Players will also have the opportunity to customize their avatar. Details concerning more extensive character creation will appear in the future. However, players will be able to change the color of their costumes and equip individual pieces to mix and match attire. Kingdom Hearts: Missing Link is in development for Android and iOS devices.
