     The coolest RTS game of the '90s is yours for less than $1 right now

The late '90s were a real heyday for strategy games. Command and Conquer, C&C Red Alert, StarCraft Brood War, Commandos, Age of Empires 2, Total Annihilation, the original Homeworld - it can be easy to get lost among all the big names. But for my money, to this day, the coolest and the very best RTS game of them all came from British development rockstars The Bitmap Brothers. Fast, brash, funny, and with one of the most distinctive gameplay systems you'll find, Z remains one of my favorite PC games ever, and it's yours right now for under a dollar.

     Counter-Strike 2 and Tarkov have a new FPS rival you can play today

It's a tough challenge, turning dense, complex, and believable military tactics into an FPS game that's both accessible and enjoyable. Though stalwarts of the genre, the likes of Operation Flashpoint and Arma can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially to newcomers. There's a tense, cerebral multiplayer experience to be had there, but you might find yourself getting so lost in the menus, you neglect to notice the enemy squad sneaking up on your six - and then it's round over. With the intuitive shooter principles of Counter-Strike 2, and the squad-based, slow-and-low atmosphere of extraction games like Escape From Tarkov (though not the looting and pouch mechanics) a new FPS is available to try now on Steam. It's tactical, it's precise - but it also wants to be flexible. PCGamesN speaks exclusively to one of its creators.

Helldivers 2 Arrowhead

The year is 2024. You are a shock trooper for an interstellar empire. You've trained for entire minutes to prepare for this mission, and you're determined to cover every eventuality. To that end, you make sure to call in every resource available to you. Unfortunately, a crafty signal jammer has scrambled your painstakingly memorized stratagem codes, and instead of the heavy machine gun you requested, you have instead thrown a call-in beacon for a napalm strike at the feet of your teammate. You have seconds to respond, throwing yourself face-first into a ravine as the rest of your squad is vaporized where they stand. When you poke your head back out, you are greeted by a smoldering crater and a squad of investigating Automatons, who promptly call for reinforcements. This is Helldivers 2.

Arrowhead Game Studios' Helldivers 2 is a surprise hit, propelled not just by its solid core gameplay but also the eminently clippable moments of unfriendly fire, self-inflicted injuries, and pure panic. The secret to these moments is that they are emergent, not programmed, but they are encouraged and facillitated by systems that have been developed over Arrowhead's entire body of work. Not just in the original Helldivers, but even as far back as the studio's very first game.

Magicka Arrowhead
Screenshot via Siliconera

The year is 2011. You are a Wizard, and you've accidentally perforated your companion with icicles instead of your foe. You hastily attempt to resurrect them, but the icicles have melted into water and soaked your robe, causing you to succeed only in electrocuting yourself with the spell's Lightning component. You cast a quick cantrip of flame to dry yourself out, but now you are on fire. You manage to complete the resurrection right before succumbing to the flames, seeing your companion rise as you fall to the ground. Then they are eaten by goblins.

Magicka, the studio's first outing, also suffered from a bug-infested launch. But despite the game launching without the developers knowing, Magicka ended up being a huge success for a student team that was operating at the time from a rented university room. And much like the studio's most recent game, that success was in large part due to word of mouth and viral moments that emerged through gameplay. Though rather than TikToks or Twitch streams, they were spread in YouTube "Let's Plays" by channels like the Yogscast.

The key mechanic of Magicka was that spells were crafted from a combination of eight elements, each changing the form, function and power of the spell as well as reacting with each other. Fire melts Ice into Water which conducts Lightning, as you might expect, but others react more violently, or simply cannot be invoked while you are affected by other elements. While memorizing a favorite spell's input scratches the same itch as nailing a Helldivers stratagem code, crafting it required experimentation and Arrowhead made sure failure could lead to anything from a fizzle to an explosion.

Helldivers 2 Salute Missile
Screenshot by Siliconera

Playing solo, crafting spells is a risk, but with a party of friends and goodness-knows how many enemies on screen at the same time, you have a recipe for chaos. Try remembering combos while also avoiding enemies' attacks and your allies' spells, and make sure you're not standing in a pool of an element that might react unpredictably. But far from a straight difficulty increase, the game encourages you to play with more people because as much as they can hinder, they can also help.

For example, healing is far more effective when cast on someone else than yourself, and beam spells can be channeled together into a focused kamehameha of disintegration (provided the elements don't clash when you cross the streams). Additionally, playing with a friend allows you to be revived and get back into the fight quickly rather than sitting through a frustrating game over screen, though later Arrowhead games like Helldivers would make respawn systems that were less punishing. You can play solo, but you're so much more powerful as a party, even if they make you explode sometimes.

After Magicka, Arrowhead would then go on to make a side-on shooter-brawler called The Showdown Effect and a new entry in the classic co-op hack and slash series Gauntlet. But it was with 2015's Helldivers that the studio hit its stride again. While hardly reaching a tenth of the sequel's success, the first Helldivers is actually remarkably similar just with a more cartoony art style and a more overhead camera angle. The same mechanics of ammo conservation, stratagem call-ins, and galactic war are all there, while equipment sharing, assisted reloads on some weapons and simply being able to cover each other's blind spots serve to encourage that same cooperation.

Helldivers 1
Screenshot by Siliconera

And it is cooperation that stabilizes the Arrowhead formula. Despite how fun it is to "accidentally" off your teammates in Helldivers or Magicka, it's even more fun to pull off a boss melting death-ray with a friend and more entertaining still to fail explosively. You can even get incredibly silly with it, while still being somewhat helpful. Nothing says you can't manifest your healing spell as a field of explosive mines that send allies flying even as their health is restored, or throw a reinforcement beacon into a swarm of bugs so the drop-pod crushes them as it descends. Don't worry about your friend being caught in the middle of any remaining enemies, that's a problem they can deal with.

And those options, especially the silly ones, only make it more compelling. Sure, youre could use a perfectly servicable spell or the basic assault rifle, switching out only as enemy weaknesses or objectives dictate, but wouldn't you rather try one of all these exciting new weapons, or call in an unnecessarily large bomb? You have a lot of nails to hammer, so why not switch up your tools? But of course, every new toy you're tempted by, like every new enemy type and every objective you need to stop and finish, is another opportunity to screw up, and for the mission to go completely F.U.B.A.R.

Arrowhead Game Studios' Helldivers 2 is a game that lets you create incredible emergent stories as you and your team bumble around like the Three Stooges on Klendathu, but the apparant simplicity belies several games worth of iteration on systems that allow that to happen. By adding reward to the risk, and incentivizing you to try the more dangerous moves, Arrowhead entices you to coordinate your chaos, while still making failure fun.

Helldivers 2 is available for the PS5 and PC. Helldivers is available on the PS3, PS4, PS Vita and PC. Magicka is available for the PC.

     God Chest FortniteThe Myths and Mortals Fortnite update brought with it new regions inspired by Ancient Greece, as well as new God chests – Underworld and Olympus chests. Here are their locations and possible loot. Olympus and Underworld chest locations in Fortnite If you are to complete the quest, you'll need to know where you can hunt down the Olympus and Underworld chests in Fortnite. These chests are in the same spots every time, so you can bee-line your way to them at the beginning of a game for great loot. Despite having different names, these chests look identical to each other, so they're rather easy to spot. As their names suggest, they can only be found in the Underworld or Olympus regions. I'd personally prefer to search in the Underworld region, to take advantage of the Underworld Dash. Image: Fortnite GG Above is a map with all God chest locations in Fortnite. These locations will be highly contested – so be very careful! The chests may be underg...

     Water In FortniteThe Fortnite Myths and Mortals update is finally live, and with it come lots of new quests for you to complete for rewards. One of these quests requires you to dash three times in 10 seconds with the Underworld Dash. This is a lot easier than it may seem. Using the Underworld Dash in Fortnite When you've got the Underworld Dash in Fortnite, you'll be able to dash in mid-air, almost like a double jump. The only problem is, the game doesn't exactly telly you how to perform this action. Screenshot: PC Invasion To perform the Underworld Dash, you must simply jump, and then jump again. There is no other button needed for this execution. As there is no cooldown time, you can chain these one jump after the other. This will easily allow you to perform the three Underworld Dashes needed for the mission. The Underworld Dash has really helped me escape from dangerous situations, and make myself a hard target whilst pinning them down shooting of my own. The direct...

     Command & Conquer fans got some good news this week. Over the years, the Command & Conquer series has been spread out across multiple digital platforms, with the only place to get all of them being EA's own much-maligned Origin storefront. But in the last few days, EA has added all of the remaining C&C titles to Steam, meaning you can now own all of the games in the series on the biggest PC storefront. They can be bought separately or as part of the C&C Ultimate Collection.

     Raucous new indie game feels like endgame Terraria, out now on Steam

At the very end of Terraria, after you've done just about everything else there is to do and beaten every boss, you get the Drill Containment Unit. This flying mining tool allows you to blast through the world in mere seconds, obliterating everything in your wake; it's the ultimate reward for a lifetime of hard work. But as anyone who's played Deep Rock Galactic can tell you, the modern videogame dwarf spares no expense when it comes to digging, and so it is in new indie game Bore Blasters, a delightful cacophony of crust-carving, out now on Steam.

     Fortnite server status and extended downtime

Are the Fortnite servers down? While the downtime between patches and season changes is usually predictable, there are occasions when something more serious has occurred, warranting prolonged maintenance.

If that is the case right now, you can always check out the latest Fortnite map or Fortnite weapons to discover the new meta. With all that out of the way, here's the latest info on whether Fortntie is down.

     Fortnite Wings MythicInstead of being a Glider, Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2, which is called Myths and Mortals, has a Wings of Icarus Mythic that allows you to fly. Wings will one hundred percent be meta this season in Fortnite, so keep reading to learn where you can find them and how to use them. How to Get the Wings of Icarus in Fortnite Unlike the other Mythics in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2, The Wings of Icarus Mythic is more like the Gatekeeper Shotgun that can be found on the ground or in chests. I've had the most success finding Wings in chests at the new POIs which include The Underworld, Grim Gate, Mount Olympus, and Brawler's Battleground. That said, there is a chance for you to find the Wings Mythic on the ground or in chests at any POI. Screenshot: PC Invasion The Wings of Icarus Mythic is also available in Competitive, too. In fact, the Wings of Icarus paired with the Huntress DMR Mythic sounds absolutely deadly in Competitive. Mythics are always a mixed bag in the comp...

     Fortnite Weapon BunkerWeapon Bunkers offer players a great place to spend Gold Bars in exchange for powerful upgrades. These areas function similarly to Vaults from C5S1 but with several key differences. Here's how to find Weapons Bunkers and use Mod Benches in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2. How to find Weapon Bunkers in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 Screenshot: PC Invasion Weapons Bunkers can be found in five locations on the map, and I've marked the areas in the picture above. These Bunkers will appear in the same place every match but aren't always open. If you find a Bunker Door wrapped in chains, it won't open for the entire game.  The remaining doors will open mid-way into the match. Bunkers are heavily contested at the time of writing, although I expect them to quiet down as the season progresses. Weapon Bunkers are great loot spots containing rare Weapons, Gold Bars, and a Mod Bench. Screenshot: PC Invasion How to use Mod Benches in Fortnite Chapter 5 Seas...

     Fortnite Update Gold Bars Bargain Bin WeekendGold Bars are a unique currency in Fortnite as they persist for the entire season. If you want to stockpile some riches quickly, here's the fastest way to get bars in Fortnite — Week 0 Strategy. What are Gold Bars in Fortnite? Gold Bars are found all over the map in Fortnite and have many different applications. You can spend your hard-earned Bars at Vending Machines or Mod Benches. You can even hire specific NPCs or take bounties from a Bounty Board. As previously mentioned, Bars are unique as they persist across the season. You don't lose Bars when you die, and you can hold a maximum of 5000 at a time. While there's no right way to spend Bars, I'm usually a little stingy until I have at least 2000 to play with.  How to get Gold Bars fast in Fortnite  You'll often grab a small number of Bars in Treasure Chests, and you can quickly amass a decent amount by looting busy areas.

     Fortnite Gatekeeper Shotgun Mythic LocationsThe Gatekeeper Shotgun is a new shotgun in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 and it's a beast you'll likely want to have in every game. Whether you're looking for the regular version or the Mythic, the hunt for Gatekeeper Shotgun in Fortnite is worth it. Where to Find the Gatekeeper Shotgun in Fortnite Image: Epic Games The Gatekeeper Shotgun, like many other weapons in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2, comes in normal rarities and Mythic. Lucky for us, you can find a white, green, blue, purple, and gold Gatekeeper Shotgun as ground loot just about anywhere just like the Huntress DMR. Gatekeeper Shotguns can appear all over the island, so there isn't a best POI to search if this is your favorite weapon this season. In general, you'll have better odds of finding Gatekeeper Shotgun by searching chests. Go to a POI and, while always watching your back, look for chests to loot.

     Fortnite Hubtress Dmr MythicOne of my favorite weapons in Fortnite is the DMR and the new Huntress DMR is bound to be a fan favorite. Keep reading to learn where to get the regular and Mythic versions of the Huntress DMR in Fortnite. Fortnite Huntress DMR Location Image: Epic Games Just like Gatekeeper Shotgun Mythic, Huntress DMR comes in regular rarities and Mythic. This means that you can find the white, green, blue, purple, and gold Huntress DMR as ground loot. It won't be as powerful as the Mythic, but it's still one of the best ranged weapons in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2. Every POI in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 has a chance of having Huntress DMR. I recommend searching chests for a better chance to acquire the weapon. The more chests you search, the more opportunities you have to find a Huntress DMR.
