PCGamesN Monday, April 7, 2025 5:50 AM  What are Valorant ranks? We've taken a deep dive into the Valorant ranking system, to show you how they work, and what the current distribution is. Looking at these figures, we can glean all kinds of information, like where you sit against the average player, as well as how much time and energy you've put into the FPS. Like all competitive FPS games, Valorant has a couple of different ways it measures ranking progress and the overall rating of players against each other. Each player has an overall Valorant rank, but there's also a dedicated 'Act rank' for each act. On top of that, there's also a concept called 'rank rating', which is connected to MMR. Here's everything you need to know about Valorant ranks, the current rank distribution, and competitive play.

PCGamesN Monday, April 7, 2025 5:27 AM  What are the best MOBAs? You'd be forgiven for thinking that all you had to choose from in the MOBA genre was League of Legends or Dota 2. They're both behemoths of the gaming landscape and have pretty much cornered the market on isometric team battlers but there are, however, a few up-and-comers that may stake a claim for the MOBA crown, as well as a few older entries that are still worth your time. MOBAs have been around for many years - the genre was originally born from player-made custom games. The first MOBA was a Starcraft custom map called Aeon of Strife, which then inspired the incredibly popular Warcraft III custom game Defense of the Ancients. Modders from the original DotA went on to create Riot's League of Legends, and Valve's Dota 2, bringing MOBA gameplay to even wider audiences. So, if you're looking to take your first, wobbly steps into the MOBA genre, you may be wondering which MOBA will be the best fit - here's the lowdown on the biggest MOBAs around to give you a headstart, many of which are easily some of the best free PC games you can right now. You'll be defending the legends of the smiting storm in no time. Or something like that.

Going without any starting items into your next run can be really tiresome in Dead Rails. Buying items that last you only for one life is arguably as bad. However, there is a way to start each journey loaded up, and that is by getting and equipping classes. So, without further ado, find out which classes are the best by following our ultimate Dead Rails class guide and tier list.
Table of Contents
Dead Rails Classes Explained
In Dead Rails, your class defines starting items (revolver, helmet, etc.) and passive bonuses (you can revive other players without bandages, etc.) that your character will have during the run. You can see your current class above your head while in the lobby. By default, you will have no class (None).
Dead Rails Class Tier List
In the Dead Rails class tier list below, we ranked all classes from best to worst based on their overall strength, both when playing solo or with a party. In general, classes that cost more Bonds to unlock are stronger than the rest. However, that is not always the case. The Ironclad class is an excellent example of a relatively weak class that costs a lot of Bonds to unlock. To cut the story short, here is our Dead Rails class tier list:
Best Classes for Solo Play
If you like to play alone and hog all the Bonds for yourself, then you should farm them up and get either Vampire, Survivalist, or Zombie. Vampire is the best class in Dead Rails for solo play because of its survivability and speed. However, it has a very unique playstyle. So, you can't expect that other players will always conform to you unless all of you are playing as Vampires.
All Classes in Dead Rails - Details, Pros, and Cons
Below, you can find all the Dead Rails classes along with their cost, the starting items they give you, and the unique passive bonuses they provide you with. Also, we highlighted the pros and cons of each class to provide more context to the Dead Rails tier list above.
How to Get and Change Your Class in Dead Rails
In Dead Rails, you can get new classes and change your current class at the Tailor NPC in the main lobby. Each class costs some amount of Bonds to unlock, and changing your class is possible only before you start a run.
If you're just starting out in Dead Rails, you should save up all the Bonds that you find and invest them into unlocking new classes. This way, you will always have a decent starting loadout and powerful passive abilities.
How to Farm Bonds
If you want to unlock a class in Dead Rails, you first have to farm some Bonds. The best locations to find Bonds are the castle at the 40km mark and the Bank vaults in various Burning Towns on the side of the rail. For more information on how to approach entering these places, check out our guide on how to farm bonds in Dead Rails.
That concludes our ultimate Dead Rails tier list and class guide. If you are still indecisive about picking your go-to weapon, check out our Dead Rails weapons tier list and find your new main.

Every so often, we get little fun events in Pokémon TCG Pocket that reward players with promo cards for playing through solo battles. Here's everything you need to know about the Pawmot drop event in Pokémon TCG Pocket, including its availability period and rewards.
Table of contents
Pokémon TCG Pocket Pawmot drop event start and end dates
First up, the Pawmot drop event in Pokémon TCG Pocket will run from April 7 to April 17, at 2 a.m. Eastern Time. This means that you'll have 10 days to clear all of the battles and get all the rewards you need.
Keep in mind that you need to spend Event Hourglasses in order to attempt the battles. If you have leftover Hourglasses from previous events, however, you can use them in the Pawmot event too.
All battles and rewards in the Pawmot drop event
There are a total of four solo battles for the Pawmot drop event: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and Expert. I've listed all of the decklists below, along with the rewards you can get from them.
Keep in mind that the drop chance for the Promo Pack will change depending on which battle you're farming. I've listed the drop chances below:
For the most efficient use of your time and your Event Hourglasses, I'd recommend farming the Expert battle once you unlock it.
Best decks to use for the event
Because these decks are made up primarily of Electric cards, your best bet is to use a Fighting deck. And what better Fighting deck to use than the dreaded Rampardos/Lucario combo? Here's the decklist:
Promo Pack rewards
Finally, I've also listed the possible cards you can get from Promo Pack A Series Vol. 6:
Given that the Pawmot card in this pack is a full art card, your chances of getting it are considerably lower than the rest. It might take a bit of farming, but as long as you're exhausting your Event Hourglasses every day, you should be able to get it before the event ends.
And that does it for our Pawmot drop event guide in Pokémon TCG Pocket. Be sure to search up Destructoid for more tips and information on the game, including the best Fire decks in the game, and the best decks for ranked mode.

The Pawn Shop is one of several new features of Schedule 1's first major content update. You can access the location to sell items that you don't need.
The new features are available on the beta branch as of writing, and the Pawn Shop is the best place for inventory management. You can sell almost anything that no longer has a need, and get extra cash in the process. This guide will help you to make the most of the new POI, and highlight its locations on the map.
Pawn Shop location in Schedule 1
The Pawn Shop is available at the western part of the map, and the closest landmark is the Warehouse. The new store is open to the right of the Warehouse entrance, and it's located on the main road. I have added the location in the screenshot below to give you an idea of where to look.
This store has always been present in the game, but you couldn't interact with it previously. The place now has a new NPC called Mick, who will buy almost anything from you (apart from drugs). If you're still unable to find the place, go to Taco Ticklers or the Skate Park (starting location). Go to the front of Taco Ticklers, cross the road, and you'll reach Pawn Shop.
How to use Pawn Shop in Schedule 1
The Pawn Shop is available to all from the start, so there's no need to unlock it. When you're looking to sell an item, add it to your inventory. Go to the store, and speak with Mick to appraise your item. Mick will suggest a price. You can choose to either accept or reject the offer, but you can also negotiate with a counteroffer. Once he agrees with your counter price, the sale will be complete.
Like a lot of other POIs, the Pawn Shop is available at a specific time of the day. You'll find the shop open between 6 am to 6 pm, so it will be closed during the evening and night.

Matador Monetoo in Genshin Impact is an exploration mechanic in Natlan's Ancient Sacred Mountain and a variant of the regular Monetoo. Completing their challenges will give you chest rewards.
This guide covers the location of all five Matador Monetoos in the Ancient Sacred Mountain and how to solve their puzzle challenges.
All Matador Monetoo locations in Ancient Sacred Mountain
Matador Monetoo 1
Open the Ancient Sacred Mountain map and teleport to the eastern island before heading north to find the first Matador Monetoo taunting a Tatankasaur. To complete the challenge, indwell the Tatankasaur, or use a Collective of Plenty character, and charge at the Matador Monetoo until it retreats to its graffiti on the broken arc.
Once that is done, charge at the graffiti to get a Common Chest and infuse Phlogiston in the nearby pillar. This will activate the Secret Source Servants, and they will carry the large cube block to the Secret Source Dragon Idol's body.
Matador Monetoo 2
Teleport to the nearest waypoint and head southwest to find another Matador Monetoo taunting a Tatankasaur. Indwell the Saurian and charge at the Monetoo until it retreats to the graffiti on the large block. Once that is done, charge at the block again to push it to complete the Secret Source Dragon Idol's body. This will give you a Common Chest and a Precious Chest.
Ride the Secret Source Dragon Idol
Climb the Secret Source Dragon Idol's head and interact with the Secret Source Servant. This will activate the Dragon Idol, and you must complete the journey to the Central Axis to get an Exquisite Chest, worth five Primogems in Genshin Impact.
Matador Monetoo 3
Use the teleport waypoint southeast of Ruined Armament Workshop in Dragons' Residence in the Ancient Sacred Mountain and head west to find a Matador Monetoo jumping around the broken bridge. Interact with the Tatankasaur Spiritscone and keep charging at the Matador Monetoo until it returns to its graffiti to get a Common Chest. Try to maintain a good speed when chasing the Monetoo to avoid falling into the lava pool.
Matador Monetoo 4 and 5
Teleport to the eastern waypoint in the Heart of Force Inversion and head northwest to find two Matador Monetoo playing in the lava pool. Interact with any Tatankasaur Spiritscone nearby and charge at them until they retreat to their graffiti on the large cubes. This time you will get a Precious Chest.
Depending on your Matador Monetoo challenge progress in Atocpan, you may unlock the Votre Toast, Je Peux Vous Le Rendre achievement.

Pokémon TCG Pocket lets you play around with plenty of different decklists and energies. If you're a Charizard fan and you're looking for the best Fire decks in Pokémon TCG Pocket, here's what you need to know.
Table of contents
Pokémon TCG Pocket best Fire decks
Fire decks have not typically done very well in Pokémon TCG Pocket. Even though Charizard Ex was regarded as the premier big numbers deck during the Genetic Apex days, it quickly became apparent that Pikachu Ex and Mewtwo Ex could outshine it with a few tweaks here and there.
That being said, Charizard Ex made a little bit of a comeback with its Shining Revelry variant, and Fire finally has a proper leg to stand on. I'll go over each decklist down below, along with the cards you need, and how to pilot them.
Shining Revelry Charizard Ex
The play line here is simple. Ideally, you want to start with Druddigon in the Active Spot to stall, while building Charizard Ex on the Bench. By including Water energy in this deck, you can potentially attack with Druddigon while also healing with Irida to stall for more time. Once Charizard Ex is ready to go, use Stoke, then start blasting with Steam Artillery.
You can also consider subbing in Moltres Ex if you'd prefer to speed up Energy generation, though personally I'm a bigger fan of the stall tactics with Druddigon.
Charizard/Moltres/Arcanine Combo
For the Growlithe/Arcanine fans out there, this gives you a few more options to play around with as your building up Charizard Ex on the bench. Start with Moltres Ex in the Active Spot, with Growlithe and Charmander on the Bench. Use Moltres Ex to generate Energy quickly for Growlithe and Charmander, and once you're ready, Arcanine Ex can help deal early damage while you wait to evolve into Charizard Ex.
Infernape Ex
Infernape Ex is a high-risk, high-reward Fire-type card capable of dealing 140 damage per turn, but the catch is that you'll need to discard all Energy on it after attacking.
To get around this, use Moltres Ex to build up Energy again after Infernape's attacks. The strength of this deck lies in its ability to get quick knockouts, but you risk leaving yourself vulnerable if you let a match drag on for too long, or if you're not able to get Infernape Ex set up in time.
And that does it for our take on the best Fire decks in Pokémon TCG Pocket. Be sure to search up Destructoid for more tips and information on the game, including the best decks to take into ranked mode.

The first major content update (v0.3.4) of Schedule 1 is now live on the beta version, and it's coming soon on the full version of the game.
Players with the beta version will be able to test out a host of new content that includes POIs, decoration items, and more. This guide will provide you all the important details associated with this update, so let's get started.
Table of contents
All new contents in Schedule 1 Content Update 1
Here's a brief summary of all the new items added to Schedule 1 as part of the first major update. As of writing, you'll need access to the beta branch to enjoy the new content, as outlined below:
Schedule 1 Pawn Shop
The Pawn Shop and the Boutique are already available in the game, but we can finally actually interact with them.
The Pawn Shop is located right by the Warehouse entrance, so you can't miss it. Here, you'll be able to sell off the items you no longer need. The only alternative previously available to players was to discard the extra items to make inventory space.
Schedule 1 Boutique Shop
The Boutique Shop is situated just by Rays Realty, and players can access the interior for more options. This, combined with the addition of decoration items, will allow the community to decorate their base of operations.
Here's the full list of all decorative items in Schedule 1:
Schedule 1 v0.3.4 gameplay update
A few tweaks and bug fixes are also part of the latest update.
As mentioned by Tyler on the game's Steam page (click here to read the full patch notes), all the content will be available on the beta branch for a couple of days before being added to the full version.

Schedule 1 has plenty of places to visit if you want to step away from video game drug cartels. Sometimes, going to a boutique to buy some furniture is a nice way to spend your time, especially if your bases of operation are bland and need some upgrades.
However, while Schedule 1's map names its locations, it won't directly pinpoint you to the Boutique unless you have a general idea of where it is. Here's how to find this furniture shop known in-game as Bleuball's Boutique.

If you're starting from the center near the Motel, you can find this location by traveling southeast past Taco Ticklers, the Police Station, and Town Hall. Once you notice the central canal, Gas-Mart, and the Post Office, you'll notice Bleuball's Boutique nearby with its dark blue appearance and golden letters.
Bleuball's Boutique is open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily, so make sure to visit early in the morning or afternoon to get the most out of this location. Otherwise, if you have a calm day with very few orders from your clients, you can explore this shop before returning to the grind.
Inside Bleuball's Boutique, you'll find Herbert, who you can interact with to buy his wares or sell products if you have Uptown unlocked. If you haven't unlocked this region, his sample offer will be greyed out, but you can still purchase items from this shop if you wish. You can also occasionally find NPCs like Allison, who'll sit on the couch and relax, giving you another potential customer if you have Suburbia unlocked.
All Bleuball's Boutique items and prices in Schedule 1
At the time of writing, Bleuball's Boutique has 15 items you can purchase repeatedly as long as you have the money to pay for them. The shop only takes debit, so make sure to visit an ATM before shopping here. Below is a complete list of every item at Bleuball's Boutique, including their prices:
These items vary in function, from basic decorations to clothing articles like chains and watches for your character to flex their wealth. You'll also find signs to place around your properties and shelves to store up to four additional items.

The White Lotus Season 3 is the show's most ambitious season yet, with an electrifying finale and twists and turns that are seriously anxiety-inducing. Here's everything you need to know about the ending and how the stories wrapped up.
Table of contents
What happened in The White Lotus Season 3 ending?
First, let's big-picture some stuff. Here are the key takeaways and major developments in the final episode of The White Lotus Season 3:
There's a lot to unpack here, so let's get right into it.
Rick and Chelsea: Bad things come in threes
Chelsea has had a couple of near-death experiences this season, and she's been telling Rick that "bad things come in threes". It seemed like very obvious foreshadowing for Chelsea's death. In fact, it was so obvious that you probably thought there was no way Chelsea was going to die this season.
The problem is, Rick has proven time and time again that he is a victim of his own rage and inability to let go. He's constantly putting his own feelings above Chelsea (and everyone else for that matter), and he has spent this entire season doing what he wants to get what he wants, with no concern for the damage he causes to the people around him.
At the snake show, he releases the snakes because he believes that they, like him, are misunderstood and they deserve to be free, but this results in Chelsea being rushed to the hospital after getting bit by a poisonous snake. When Rick confronts Jim, Frank is caught up in his plan and ends up breaking his sobriety and celibacy. Even after that confrontation, when Rick believes that he has finally achieved peace and enlightenment, he fails to see that it comes at the cost of other people: Frank's beliefs, and Chelsea's wellbeing.
When Jim shows up one last time to insult Rick's dead mother, Rick loses control. In all fairness to him, he tries to talk himself down from the ledge by looking for Amrita. Unfortunately, Amrita is unavailable and when Rick sees Jim again, that's the point of no return. He lets his emotions take over and he succeeds in his mission to kill Jim, but at the cost of Chelsea's life this time.
Gaitok and Mook: Tossing away your beliefs for profit
All season long, Gaitok has been locked in an internal struggle of doing what he needs to as a bodyguard, and staying true to his beliefs of non-violence as a Buddhist. He tries incredibly hard to remain true to himself, and even decides not to rat out Valentin for the robbery.
However, he ultimately loses himself when Sritala tells him to shoot Rick. Picture this: you have a gun trained on the back of a crying man who's carrying his dead girlfriend to the water. He's clearly no longer a threat. Old Gaitok probably wouldn't have fired the gun, but new Gaitok did, and that was everything.
His character is motivated primarily by Mook, who keeps pushing him to be more ambitious and to climb that career ladder even if it means turning back on his beliefs. Gaitok becomes Sritala's bodyguard, just like Mook wanted, and he got the girl as well, but at the cost of his own self.
Jaclyn, Kate, and Laurie: A flawed, but repaired friendship
The friend group has been my favorite dynamic to watch all season, and I loved that they managed to get out of this stronger than ever. Jaclyn apologizes to Laurie for being shady and sleeping with Valentin, and that apology actually seemed sincere.
Laurie, on the other hand, owns all of the decisions she's made in her life and admits that her friends were right, that she could've made different choices and maybe be in a different place now. She tells Jaclyn she's happy that she's beautiful, she tells Kate she's happy that she has a loving family, and Laurie wraps up the speech simply by saying she's just happy to get to witness her friends live their best lives.
Don't get me wrong; this doesn't discount all of the cattiness and backstabby gossip we've witnessed from the three women for the past seven episodes, but it honestly looks like they've gotten even closer together even with all of that out in the open. It's a very wholesome conclusion that you rarely ever get to see in The White Lotus, and I'm here for it.
The Ratliff Family: Everyone is spoiled (except Lochy) and they're about to be poor
The Ratliff storyline has been a rollercoaster. It all culminates with Tim attempting to poison his entire family, but ultimately deciding against it because he just can't bring himself to do it. But of course, the one person who wasn't supposed to drink the poison fruit blend ends up doing it, and for a moment there, it actually looks like he's about to die. Thankfully, Lochy throws up by the poolside, and Tim is able to resuscitate him.
Piper reaches enlightenment and self-awareness while in the monastery, though not in the way she was expecting. She realizes that she can't live without her creature comforts after all, and just like her mother, she's not prepared to rough it out for a year.
Surprisingly, Saxon comes out of this looking pretty good. He starts the season as the gross, hypersexual douchebag, but ends up humbled and open to new ideas thanks to Chelsea.
When the Ratliffs leave Thailand and get their phones back, Tim tells his family that things are about to change. With Tim facing charges of bribery and money laundering, he's accepted that he's going to jail and his family's going to need to get used to being poor, or whatever the rich person's definition of "poor" is. He's hopeful that his family can survive it though, and we end up getting a pretty solid conclusion to the Ratliff story too.
Belinda: Tanya 2.0
Belinda finally accepts Greg's offer in the finale, but thanks to Zion, she gets $5 million USD instead of the originally proposed $100,000. Before she leaves, she tells Pornchai that her circumstances have changed and she'll no longer be able to entertain business plans with him. This is a clear callback to the end of her Season 1 story with Tanya, who had also backed out of her business plans with her after she met Greg.
It's poetic, and also very sad, that Belinda ends up doing to poor Pornchai what Tanya did to her. That's the whole MO of The White Lotus, though. There are no good people in this show. Just shades of grey all around.

The White Lotus Season 3 opened with a terrifying scene suggesting that there was a huge shootout at the luxury resort, which is way darker than anything the series has ever explored. Here's a full rundown of every character who died in The White Lotus Season 3.
Table of contents
All Deaths in The White Lotus Season 3
Jim Hollinger
Even from the start, it seemed like Jim Hollinger would be the mother of all red herrings in The White Lotus Season 3. It was obvious that Rick was setting out to kill him, so how could that possibly be the plot, right?
Turns out that's exactly what The White Lotus wanted you to think. No one's ever gonna guess that Hollinger would be one of the dead bodies, so there you go. While waiting to speak with Amrita, Rick was unfortunate to see Hollinger and Sritala doing their photo ops with Jaclyn. Considering that Hollinger had literally just insulted his dead mother less than an hour ago, Rick was unable to control his anger at seeing him go on without a care in the world.
Even when Chelsea showed up, she couldn't talk him off the ledge, and Rick walks straight up to Hollinger, grabs his gun, and shoots him. In a terrible twist of fate, Sritala reveals that Hollinger was actually his father.
Hollinger and Sritala's Bodyguards
Immediately after Hollinger dies, Rick gets into a shootout with the two bodyguards. Y'know, the same ones that have been terrorizing sweet Gaitok this entire time. They try to take out Rick, but they're no match for him, and they end up getting shot to death.
Chelsea
While Rick was able to fight off the two bodyguards, unfortunately he ended up getting Chelsea caught in the crossfire as well. Our girl got shot straight in the chest, which meant there was absolutely no way of saving her.
Chelsea was another major red herring at the start of the show. She could've died during the robbery, and she nearly died from the poisonous snake bite. She kept telling us that bad things come in threes, and all the signs were there pointing to an inevitable Chelsea death, but it seemed too obvious. Joke's on us, though. Chelsea's death might very well be the most tragic of the entire series.
Rick
Realizing that he got Chelsea shot, Rick picks her up and starts walking to the water, telling her they're going to be together forever. It's unclear where he was actually walking to, but it seemed like his plan was to maybe put her body in the water, then shoot himself.
Before he even got there, though, Gaitok shows up and shoots Rick at Sritala's behest. Rick and Chelsea fall into the water together, and he dies.
Lochy as the Fakeout Death
For the first time in the show's history, The White Lotus actually tried to pull one over us with a fakeout before the shooting even happened. Lochy mixed himself a protein shake with the poisonous fruit seeds still grinded up inside the blender, and he drank it, poisoning himself as a result.
We watch him throw up by the pool, before convulsing on the ground and seeing visions of his family and four Buddhist monks. We're meant to think he dies, but thankfully, the seeds turned out to be a lot less lethal than we thought (or there just wasn't enough for it to be fatal), and Tim was able to resuscitate him.
And those are all of the deaths in The White Lotus Season 3. Pretty brutal season, especially with two major cast deaths, and it might very well be the darkest season of the show yet.
