     Beat Destiny 2 Lightfall's campaign and your alts can pay to skip it

A Destiny 2 character boost will let players pay to skip the Lightfall campaign on their alternate characters (alts) after completing it on their main, removing a significant headache for players who don't want to replay the campaign to access endgame content on multiple characters. This new campaign skip is in addition to the existing character boost that allows players to skip the FPS game's gear grind - having reached the game's soft power cap with one character, they can pay for an armour set at that cap for their alts, so there's precedent for this kind of thing.

The news comes in the latest issue of This Week at Bungie, the Destiny developer's weekly update. The TWAB doesn't say how much Guardians will have to pay to skip the campaign on secondary characters, but the existing paid power boosts cost 200 Silver, or roughly $20, so we shouldn't assume it'll be cheap. Both the campaign skip and the Lightfall power skip will be available in-game as of Destiny 2 season 20 and the Destiny 2 Lightfall release date, for those that meet the necessary requirements to activate them.

Resident Evil airsoft gun

Capcom and airsoft gun manufacturer Tokyo Marui are collaborating to release release a new airsoft gun designed after Leon S. Kennedy's starting handgun in the Resident Evil 4 remake. The replica model is called "SG-09 R," and the toy is set to release in late March 2023 in Japan. It will cost 32,800 JPY (roughly $244 USD). [Thanks, Hobby Watch!]

The "SG-09 R" airsoft replica comes with a special magazine, titled "Survive Magazine #18," and it contains a report on the features of the gun. Additionally, the airsoft gun also includes two extra magazines. The packaging of the toy is designed to replicate the same container that Leon's gun uses in the game.

The reproduction includes a serial number on the left side of the pistol slide, and the Kendo logo is engraved on its right side, a reference to Resident Evil character and guns manufacturer Robert Kendo. You can check out the Resident Evil 4 airsoft gun in more detail in the gallery below.

A different piece of merchandising that was considered, but ultimately didn't make the cut is a reproduction of the iconic RE4 chainsaw controller, that originally released for the GameCube and PS2.

The "SG-09 R" airsoft replica is releasing in late March 2023. The remake of Resident Evil 4 will come to the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam on March 24, 2023.

Pathea Asked About My Time at Portia Switch Lag and Frame Rate Issues

When My Time at Portia launched on the Switch, people reported issues with the frame rate and lag could be a problem. Now, Pathea Games shared a new survey asking for feedback on the state of the game. It's a very brief one, functioning more as an error report with support to alert the company as to issues.

Before taking part in the My Time at Portia Switch frame rate and lag survey, it is wise to compile any data you might have regarding problems. This is because it is essentially a one-question report. It first asks about frame rate drops and lag in the game. The developer also requested specific details about it. Some examples included the exact quest when the problem came up. It might also be valuable to note things like how many characters were also present on-screen and what you were doing when the incident happened. The form also offers an opportunity to share a screenshot or video of the incident in question.

My Time at Portia is available for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and mobile devices. The follow-up My Time at Sandrock is in early access on PCs.
