Destiny 2 Renegades

Destiny 2 meets Star Wars with the Renegades expansion on Dec. 2, but avid fans may want to preload the update for an early start. Good news and bad news: you can indeed preload Renegades, but the window is quite tight, and it requires a lot of disk space.

Preloads releasing when the maintenance downtime starts isn't new, but this time, the server outage only lasts for one hour. Here's how you can preload Destiny 2: Renegades.

When does the Destiny 2: Renegades preload start?

Preloads for Destiny 2 Renegades start at 10am CT on Dec. 2 in most platforms, though "some PlayStation users" can jump the gun after Nov. 30 if they have auto updates enabled, Bungie said. It's quite a short timespan to get ready for the next expansion, especially considering downloads can get as big as 170 GB.

If you're not on PlayStation, your preload only begins one hour before the update drops on the weekly reset, which is not much of a "pre" load—especially considering you must download an entire new version of Destiny 2 in that time. In most cases, that version will also coexist with your existing installation, making for an exorbitant file size of hundreds of GBs worth of Destiny 2 data.

If you've cleared out your disk storage and have a good internet connection, here are the steps you can take to download Renegades ahead of time.

How to preload Destiny 2 Renegades

Once the preload period kicks off, the download should appear when updating Destiny 2 as usual on your platform of choice.

  • PlayStation: Set up auto-updates by going to Destiny 2 in your main menu, clicking Options, and marking "check for updates."
  • Xbox: Go to Profile & System, then Settings, Systems, and Updates. You can enable auto-updates for your games here, including the Renegades preload.
  • Steam: The Renegades preload should appear in your Downloading queue shortly after it becomes available. Enable auto-updates by going to Destiny 2's properties in your Library tab and checking the "immediately download updates" box. If the preload doesn't show up, try resetting Steam.
  • Epic Games: Like Steam, the update should land on Epic once Bungie enables global preloads.
  • Microsoft Store: Look for the latest update in your download queue once the preload period begins.

How big is the Renegades preload?

The disk space requirement is another obstacle to preloading Renegades, since most versions require you to have more than one version of Destiny 2 on your computer. On Steam and Epic, the next expansion may require you to have over 300 GB of space on your disk.

Platform Preload storage space requirements Total file size after Renegades Notes
Steam 326 GB 170 GB The Steam preload requires you to have both the latest Edge of Fate patch and the Renegades preload on your disk at the same time, though the obsolete one will disappear after the game goes live. This means you likely have to download close to 170GB before playing.
Epic Games Store 325 GB 170 GB Similar to Steam
Microsoft Store 159 GB 159 GB
PlayStation 5 173 GB 173 GB
PlayStation 4 173 GB 205 GB Requires the latest Edge of Fate patch plus a ~50 GB preload.
Xbox Series X/S 171 GB 171 GB
Xbox One 161 GB 161 GB

One hour is a short period for a download as huge as Destiny 2, and since it's expansion release day, server issues may not be out of the picture. Because of that, make sure you can download Renegades ahead of time to get into the action more quickly.

Kingdom Manga Feels Worth the Wait

Kingdom is quite likely one of the longest manga we've never gotten a chance to read in English. It's passed 77 volumes in Japan, and Viz Media finally picked up Yasuhisa Hara's series for a worldwide release. It's daunting to think of how much there is to go when we're only just beginning a new series like this. But the plus side is, after reading the just released first volume, it feels like perhaps a blessing. It means we know this compelling and well-paced series will come out at a steady rate, now that it's on the way here, and we won't need to wait months and years for the next installments.

Editor's Note: There will be some mild spoilers for the Kingdom manga below.

While this is a Warring States manga that offers some historical elements and insights, Kingdom very much feels like a typical shonen series at times. After establishing this is a time of war, we meet Li Xin, who is sparring with Li Piao. The two are orphans and best friends who are basically raised as brothers. While they're slaves now, they're constantly training in hopes of becoming the "greatest generals under the heavens." That all changes when Lord Changwen sees them training in the field while traveling and buys out Piao to work in the capital at the Kingdom of Qin Royal Court. 

That's when we start to get the motivation and impetus for basically all the events of Kingdom. Everyone is telling Xin that the royal court is a bloodbath. That because of the current state of war, nobody's safe. They tell him Piao is probably already dead. And then, one day after, Piao drags himself back to Xin's door. He's in fine attire, but dying. He showed up to warn Xin about the successful coup and provide a map to the village of Heibei, warning him to escape.

It's because of this intense focus on Xin from the very start that I feel like Kingdom immediately sets itself up to both be a historical manga, but one that uses that character-driven element to keep it compelling. Yasuhisa Hara is setting up Xin as someone to root for. He becomes important to us because of the drive he showed when training with Piao, the heartbreak that came from seeing him half dead, and the mission to accomplish their goal of becoming a great general for the both of them. And all of this is all only happening in the first chapter, quickly establishing why we should care and stick with the series.

The rest of that volume continues the kind of pacing and mentality. Even though the family that owned Xin and Piao treated them terribly, there's a moment when the son attempted to stand up and respect the fallen servant he cared for. We see that there's an assassin first pursuing Piao, now Xin. On his journey to Heibei, Xin encounters obstacles. There are even flashbacks that further establish what the two brothers meant to each other. 

Then, there's the fantastic hook to keep us reading the Kingdom manga. Once Xin reaches Heibei, we realize why Piao was scouted. Why he was brought to court. Why he wanted Xin to get to Heibei. There, he finds a hut and meets Ying Zheng. He's the true king of Qin, determined to unify all kingdoms in China under him. And just like Piao told Xin to head to Heibei so his brother would meet him, he told Zheng that Xin is stronger than him and needed to be at his side. We're seeing the meeting that could result in both the king and our hero achieve both their dreams.

Which is why now I'm so glad we're getting Kingdom now. The manga moves at such a fantastic pace, with something constantly happening and vital developments coming up every chapter in the first volume. The characters are compelling, with motivations that immediately catch a reader's attention. It's a situation in which we need to know what's next. And because it took all this time for the Kingdom manga to appear in English, volumes will release at a pace that won't keep us waiting for the next part.

Volume 1 of Kingdom is now available, and Viz Media will release volume 2 of the manga on December 16, 2025.

Kinetic Converter attachment in ARC Raiders overlaid over an image of the Spaceport map.

Finding good weapons in ARC Raiders is one thing, but kitting them out with the best attachment is your ultimate goal.

Every good weapon can be turned into an absolute powerhouse with the right attachments, and the Kinetic Converter brings you one step closer to perfection. Buffing your overall rate of fire, this stock attachment is a fantastic tool for improving any gun in the game that supports it, but finding it is more difficult than proving that God exists.

So, here's where you should look to maximize your chances.

Where to find Kinetic Converter in ARC Raiders

Screenshot and remix by Destructoid

The Kinetic Converter is a legendary drop, meaning you can find it out in the wild, but the chances of that happening are astronomically low. Therefore, it's advisable to check out those locations that are bound to spawn the best possible loot, including legendary items.

For that reason, I strongly suggest the top of the Launch Towers on Spaceport. They're located in the very middle of the map, and can be accessed via ziplines that take you straight to the top. There, you will find countless high-level loot containers, which are almost guaranteed to drop at least some hard-to-get items, including potentially a Kinetic Converter.

I have received yellow items from the Launch Towers on numerous occasions, and consider them one of the best places to loot in the entire game. They're also fairly easy to access on account of few ARCs patrolling at ground-level, though you should pay close attention to your surroundings as other players know how good the loot here is and will be gunning for it as soon as possible.

Kinetic Converters can supposedly be crafted, but it is necessary to first obtain a Kinetic Converter Blueprint, and then make them at Gunsmith 3. The item only appears to be obtainable during the Locked Gate event on the Blue Gate map, and is otherwise not in the loot pool.

This isn't confirmed yet, so your best bet would be to participate in events so as to maximize your odds of obtaining the blueprint.

Fortnite Battle Bus

The Battle Bus questline in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 requires you to find different parts of the vehicle, and there are four wheels to collect from all over the new map.

Once you activate the questline, the map markers will be displayed to you. However, finding the Pump N' Run gas stations can be tricky, and more so if you're under enemy fire. This guide will help you find out all the wheels from the different gas stations, allowing you to complete the quest.

All Pump N' Run Gas Station locations in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1

There are exactly four gas stations, spread all over the map. Each of these gas stations has a wheel. You'll need to find all four, and it's not necessary to complete the task in one single match. As long as you find a wheel, it will register. To complete the quest, however, you'll have to visit all four locations (even if that's spread across different matches).

  • Located on the eastern part of Ripped Tides, you can find the gas station halfway towards the Battlewood Boulevard.
  • Go east from Bumpy Bay, and you'll find the second one to the west of Innoloop Labs.
  • You can find one in the southern part of Sandy Strip. This location also offers a source from which you can collect a custom Battle Bus part.
  • Another station can be found east of Wonkeeland.

You'll find the marked locations of all four pumps in the screenshot below.

It's definitely possible to reach all four pumps in the same match, but that will require you to be extremely strategic. Instead, it will be easier to complete the quest across multiple matches. You can also combine it with other quests, like collecting three Custom Battle Bus pieces, to save time. Once you find all four wheels, it will reward you with 10,000 XP and bring you one step closer to completing the first Battle Bus questline.

  • Max. 3 Players from the same Club
  • Min. 8 Players: Rare

HL Element 64 image.

Half-Life 3 is the black sheep of gaming. Or rather, it's the phantom of the gaming opera, phasing in and out of the collective consciousness much like the Borealis goes in and out of reality itself. However, we're going to have to make do with what we have, and this upcoming mod might just scratch that itch.

Half-Life: Element 64 reimagines the original 1998 game as a boomer shooter, influenced heavily by other FPS games of the time, even more so than Half-Life 1 already was. With gameplay, movement, and shooting taken straight out of Quake, HL Element 64 is a new way to play a classic title, albeit the story itself is also significantly altered.

Many fans have already dubbed it as Half-Life 0.5, inspired by other mod names like Quake 1.5 and Doom 2.5, both of which expand the original games with new and unique mechanics that fundamentally alter the overall experience, usually for the better.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOIr0hz5ldk

The amount of attention Element 64 has attracted, and the fact that it even exists, prove to me that old-school '90s shooters aren't dead by any stretch of the imagination. Yeah, we've gotten tons of "boomer shooters" over the years that are generally much more modernized both in feel and gameplay, but I'm quite surprised that a true, 1990s-style mod is gaining this much traction.

It could be the prospect of Half-Life 3 that's leading Valve's fans to grasp at literally anything, or, more likely, the fact that old-school shooters are an impeccable genre. Decades of FPS games have come and gone, and we are still looking back to that golden age, trying to imitate it to the best of our abilities.

It's when shooters peaked, and, as the saying goes, the more things change, the more they stay the same.

ARC Raiders humidifier item overlaid over an image of the game.

Workstation and other upgrades in ARC Raiders often require hard-to-get or rare loot that can only b found topside.

While finding many of these items can be rather easy (as easy as tearing them from the cold, dead hands of other raiders), sometimes they end up being challenging due to low spawn chances or the sheer randomness of the game's loot system.

Humidifiers, though, can often be looted from a single place, so here's everything you need to know.

How to get Humidifiers in ARC Raiders

Screenshot and remix by Destructoid

Humidifiers are most commonly found in the Red Tower building on the Buried City map, right next to the Plaza Rosa loot zone. The lockers inside are almost guaranteed to contain one or two Humidifiers. I have had a lot of good luck finding them here.

What's more, the lockers and security breaches inside also have good odds to drop other valuable items, but if it's Humidifiers you seek, you'll almost certainly find them on each of your visits to this location.

If you keep getting beaten to the punch by other players, Humidifiers can also spawn in Residential areas, so checking places like the Grandiose Apartments on Buried City or Ruby Residence on Dam Battlegrounds are a good bet, though I can't say any location in the game can compete with the Red Tower when it comes to Humidifiers.

A superhero shooting molten lava at another hero in a mech armor in Dispatch.

Last night I completed the second season of Gen V, a spinoff of The Boys show set in the same universe and tying into its overarching story. Prompted by Dispatch toward this strange genre, I suddenly realized there are very few stories like it, especially among video games.

In the realm of TV shows, there are actually quite a few of these so-called "subversive superhero" stories. Most of them come from comic books, which is only natural given the sheer dominance of superheroes in the medium. These include The Boys and Invincible as the most prominent examples, both as comics and as TV shows, but we've now also got Peacemaker and Gen V to boot.

I know Peacemaker, the hero, is of a DC comic, but the story of James Gunn's iteration is entirely original and ties into the broader DCU, which, to a good extent, exists on its own and is separate from the comics.

All of these give us new takes on superheroes: they are deeply flawed, self-centered, ambitious, and outright destructive, which in the case of The Boys and Gen V takes on a whole new level of gruesomeness.

Dispatch flambae
Dispatch is serious and thematically deep, but a lot more mellow than, say, The Boys or Invincible. Screenshot by Destructoid

While Invincible's heroes are as traditional as they come with a good dose of violence mixed in, The Boys and Gen V up the ante in almost every possible way, showing every hero as someone with horrifying fetishes and disgusting desires, almost as if mocking the very notion of "super" heroes. Well, not almost, because that's the stated intention of the comics, but you get my point.

Either way, both Invincible and Peacemaker, with more traditional heroes coupled with a serious tone and thematic depth, and The Boys (and Gen V) with their outright hatred of capes and costumes, fall under the "subversive" category, where we don't have Mr. Nice Guy with an S on his chest coming in to save the day time and again.

Dispatch is similar in many ways. Yeah, we have our army of good guys, but also an entire correctional program for villains who cannot reconcile with their own powers, instead turning to crime and destruction while trying to find their spot under the sun. It's deep, emotional, and character-oriented, and is primarily similar to Invincible and Peacemaker in these regards.

It deconstructs the superhero and transposes them from an all-powerful killing (or saving) machine and places them within a corporate and state structure that desperately wishes to control and, as is the case with the SDN's crew, to "reform" them into what "heroes" are supposed to be.

It's in many ways more mellow and easygoing compared to the TV shows I've mentioned above, which isn't to say it doesn't have thematic depth and tons of emotional charge.

But what I had come to realize watching Gen V after completing Dispatch and every other show in question is that there aren't many stories like them. Video games, especially, are sparse when it comes to subversive superhero stories. Outside of maybe Infamous and Dispatch, there aren't many examples (even fewer good ones) of such genre deconstruction.

The Boys doesn't only deconstruct the superhero genre: it completely obliterates it. Image via Amazon

Marvel initially went down that path by showing us its MCU cast as flawed, troubled, self-interested or striving to do better, but it eventually deconstructed its own deconstruction and ended up with the same, jaded old superhero "good vs. bad" dichotomy of which, frankly, everyone's had enough.

By transposing this dilemma and deconstruction into video games, we could reach new heights. Watching a story unfold is one thing, but actually reaching in and modifying it is something else entirely. Why wouldn't you be given a chance to take control of such a flawed hero (or world), lead them down a path of destruction or mayhem, or maybe elevate them from that dread?

Whereas The Boys pokes fun at contemporary culture and politics and tries to criticize modern media addiction and the power of corporations, some video games could take on different stances, instead choosing to satirize other aspects of our society and culture. There are options here, limitless options, that could serve as critiques of power, identity, the sense of self, politics, you name it.

The groundwork has been laid, but no one seems to want to pick up the shovel.

Dispatch, however, was the first step (or rather leap) in the right direction. It showed people cared about genre subversion, so long as it's done subtly, thoughtfully, and artistically. Characters are the main drive here, as it is through them that we see the criticisms and satire. Institutions like the SDN, or Vought in The Boys, or the CIA in Peacemaker also serve as "characters" in their own right.

I'm absolutely fascinated with the potential of this subgenre. Hopefully, developers recognize it, too, and start producing meaningful stories within a framework that allows for some of the richest storytelling imaginable.

CLAMP Official Artbook: Color Kuro Is an Extensive Collection

In 2024, a CLAMP Exhibition was held at the Tokyo National Art Center. It covered the group's extensive history, with all sorts of works based on its manga on display. Two art books appeared as a means of remembering and commemorating the pieces on display, and Yen Press picked up CLAMP Official Artbook: Color Kuro and Color Shiro so everyone worldwide could eventually see them. With Color Kuro available now, it's clearly a gorgeous representation of the group's work in a lavish compilation.

Now, the first thing to know is that the CLAMP Official Artbook: Color Kuro is a relatively large art book. It's between an A4 and B4 size page at 8.25 inches by 11.75 inches. This means we're seeing each work in a lot of detail. Lots of series are covered throughout, with the earliest pieces being ones from ones in 1991 like CLAMP School Detectives, Man of Many Faces, and X. Later works slip in too, such as Gate 7 (2011), Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card (2022), and Kobato (2010). So there's a great assortment spanning the group's career.

However, there are some minor viewing issues. You can't lie this CLAMP art book perfectly flat, as you'll risk breaking the binding if you do. This means for the two-page spreads, of which there are a good amount, you're missing details. This is especially true of some Man of Many Faces and an X piece. In most cases, you're only missing part of a weapon, sleeve, or edge of a character design. Given how elaborate some costumes are though, I was a little disappointed that, say, I couldn't exactly see Kazuhiko's cuff due to it falling between the pages and into the fold. 

This is also a collection where everything is presented without commentary. Each page of CLAMP Official Artbook: Color Kuro is completely dedicated to focusing on the image in front of you. In a way it's nice. Nothing is detracting from the art. You can take in the image as the artists intended. However, that also means no commentary on what we're seeing. More importantly, it means a reference to what it is, in the event it is a piece you are unfamiliar with, is buried in the back. As there are no page numbers or labels of any sort, you need to rely on the small thumbnails next to the information stating the series, its original usage, and the year it was created. I am glad that information does appear in the appendix, so there is some citation. However, I think I'd have appreciated a slightly larger page that included that exact context in a single sentence at the bottom. 

At the very least, I do think it's all organized in a way that will help protect and preserve the works we're seeing. There is a rather nice slipcover on the paperback, which I appreciate. The original cover has this fantastic design with a bunch of the pieces in diamonds across the front and back. The page quality is good inside, and everything is well bound together.

CLAMP is an incredible group of mangaka and the CLAMP Official Artbook: Color Kuro art book is a lovely example of its work over the years. I do wish there were a few minor changes to make viewing and checking information about each piece inside of the book a bit easier. However, it's still a lovely collection that's handled quite well.

CLAMP Official Artbook: Color Kuro is available now via Yen Press, and Kodansha is handling Color Shiro.
