PCGamesN Tuesday, May 6, 2025 7:51 AM ![]() Riot Games is celebrating the life of the late League of Legends pro Maciej 'Shushei' Ratuszniak with an in-game title and skin. Shushei was a Fnatic player who was crowned MVP at the MOBA's first-ever high-stakes pro tournament. He died late last month. One of the best players in LoL's history, the Polish midlaner was known for using both AP Alistar and Gragas. Riot Games is now honoring his memory by offering up the latter's Fnatic skin to those who play three games as the champion.

PCGamesN Tuesday, May 6, 2025 7:12 AM ![]() The price of the fastest gaming SSD we've ever tested has just dropped by up to $50, thanks to this latest SSD deal. Amazon says it's a limited-time offer, so you'll need to get in quick, but it enables you to save $30 off the price of a 1TB Samsung 9100 Pro, and $50 off the 4TB model, giving you a discount of up to 15%. I recently gave this drive a score of 8/10 in my Samsung 9100 Pro review, and my only main criticism was the high price. It's otherwise incredibly fast, and this Samsung SSD also runs remarkably cool for a high-speed PCIe 5.0 drive too, earning it a place on our best gaming SSD guide. All versions of the SSD are currently on offer too, spanning 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB capacities, with and without heatsinks.

Once you've befriended Pochacco in Hello Kitty Island Adventure, he lets you know that fan-favorite Sanrio character Gudetama can be found dotted around the island as small figurines.

PCGamesN Tuesday, May 6, 2025 6:08 AM ![]() What are the Revenge of the Savage Planet upgrades? As with any decent metroidvania, the exploration and secret-seeking boils down to the quality of the upgrades available. Adding extra jumps into the mix is easy enough, but some extra firepower is required when you come up against impassable webs or rock-solid amber. When you take your first steps on an alien planet, you don't have much at your disposal in the metroidvania game. You're quickly directed to the rickety-looking 3D printer to craft yourself a weapon.

As you make your way through the second planet, you'll come across a wall that blocks the way to the underground portion where the big boss (and one important piece of equipment) awaits you.

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 Tuesday, May 6, 2025 5:54 AM ![]() Stellaris remains the ruler of space-based 4X games - one of Paradox's best works, it still has rave reviews and tens of thousands of daily players. The new DLC has earned plaudits, too. Bringing new ships, new origins, and an overhauled version of the Genetic ascension, Biogenesis could be one of the strongest expansions in the space 4X game's history. And yet, just one day after it was released, the Steam rating for Biogenesis is an inauspicious 'mostly negative.' From the same label that made Crusader Kings, Europa Universalis 4, and Hearts of Iron, what could be going wrong? It's not Biogenesis itself. The source of the criticism is the accompanying Stellaris 4.0 update. MORE FROM PCGAMESN: Stellaris review, Stellaris mods, Stellaris DLC guide |

That's why I was intrigued by this incredible rig from Europe. It doesn't feature any overt Star Wars iconography, beyond its use of the iconic font on a single sticker, but the design and colors give you no doubt about its majestic (and some might say Imperial) sympathies. This PC build is an imposing one, weighing 154lbs inside a Corsair Obsidian PC case, with a careful array of cooling tubes containing bold red coolant, which sit in neat contrast to the harsh white LED fans. This is a gaming PC with some serious power behind it, too, using the best graphics card of the last generation in the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090, alongside a 24-core Intel Core i9 13900KS gaming CPU.

A build up of grime can throw off the optical sensor in your mouse and slow down its movement, all while harboring germs. So, a clean once every few months brings a multitude of benefits. While you can just buy a new mousepad quite regularly, as even the best gaming mousepad options can be had for under $20, cleaning your mousepad doesn't take much time or effort at all. It's far quicker and easier than learning how to clean your computer, for instance. What's more, the following instructions aren't just for traditional mouse pads. In fact, if you're searching for how to clean your desk mat or large surface cover, applying the steps below should do the trick. Also, cleaning your desk items doesn't just apply to gaming setups, as hygiene applies to both work and play.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Tuesday, May 6, 2025 4:19 AM ![]() I once got in a heated debate with Graham over whether the chest-high walls in the Gears Of War series could accurately be called 'massive'. The Gears men are massive, I argued. So it stands to reason that any wall that could provide adequate bullet cover to a massive man must itself be a massive wall. No, said Graham. They're famously normal size walls, hence why the massive men have to squat down like they've just had a bowling ball lobbed at their kidneys. Well, we can finally examine the true scale of these walls - in 4K no less - with Gears Of War: Reloaded. A "faithfully remastered" version of the 2006 large man action game, coming to Steam on August 26th this year.

The enemies on Floor 12 of the Spiral Abyss in the Genshin Impact 5.6 and 5.7 updates have been leaked. All the chambers in this cycle feature at least one world boss, making it one of the most challenging Floor 12 resets to date.
This article lists all the enemies you can expect to meet in Spiral Abyss Floor 12 during the June 16 to July 15 cycle in Genshin Impact 5.6 and 5.7 updates.
Potential Spiral Abyss Floor 12 enemies in Genshin Impact 5.6-5.7
HomDGCat is one of the most reliable sources for Genshin Impact leaks, and they have shared the potential enemy lineup for Floor 12 of the Spiral Abyss in versions 5.6 and 5.7. The lineup will be featured from June 16 to July 15.
Floor 12 Chamber 1
![]()
Here is a list of all the enemies that you can expect in the first chamber of Floor 12:
First half - level 95
Second half - level 95
The first half has two enemy waves with two Cicin Mages and the Spiritspeaker boss. Meanwhile, the second half has the Perpetual Mechanical Array boss. All the enemies are fairly easy to beat, but can take some time to beat because of their phases.
Floor 12 Chamber 2
![]()
Below are all the opponents you will face in the second chamber of Floor 12 in the Spiral Abyss:
First half - level 98
Second half - level 98
This is the only chamber in this cycle that has two enemy waves in both halves for Floor 12. The first half has two Eremite mobs and the Natlan Yumkasaur boss. Meanwhile, the second half has two Electro enemies, including the Millennial Pearl Seahorse.
Floor 12 Chamber 3
![]()
Lastly, here are all the enemies that will be in the third chamber:

Each half of this chamber features one world boss. The Icewind Suite is in the first half and is easy to beat. Additionally, the Secret Source Automaton Overseer Device will debut in the Spiral Abyss in the second half of Floor 12's third chamber.
During this Spiral Abyss cycle, you will also get the following buffs:
It is safe to say that Cryo characters will be amazing in this Spiral Abyss reset. Additionally, the first half buff strongly hints at Skirk's release in Genshin Impact 5.7 because of her potential kit.

Escoffier is a 5-star Cryo character in Genshin Impact. She is a strong Cryo sub-DPS and support Hybrid unit that will make Cryo teams great again.
If you're a fellow Cryo enjoyer, here is a simple guide on how to build Escoffier. You can find her best artifacts, weapons, and team comps below.
Best Escoffier build in Genshin Impact
Best artifacts for Escoffier
Golden Troupe
![]()
Golden Troupe is undoubtedly Escoffier's best artifact set in Genshin Impact. Since she can perform coordinated attacks even when off-field after casting her Elemental Skill, this set will significantly boost her damage.
Tenacity of the Millelith
![]()
If you wish to play Escoffier more as a support, you can also go for the Tenacity of the Millelith artifact set. While the HP% 2-pc set bonus will be useless on her, she can buff her party members' ATK with the 4-pc set bonus. With the right stats on the artifact, you probably also wouldn't lose out on Escoffier's personal damage.
Golden Troupe + Blizzard Strayer
![]()
A 2-piece and 2-piece combo of the Golden Troupe and Blizzard Strayer sets is also a viable option. The former will give Escoffier Elemental Skill DMG Bonus, while the latter will increase her Cryo DMG Bonus.
Artifact stats
Here are the stats that you must prioritize when building Escoffier in Genshin Impact:
You can go for ATK% on Goblet and Circlet for a proper healer support build. However, if you want to use Escoffier as a sub-DPS too, then a CRIT circlet and Cryo DMG Bonus Goblet are better.
Best weapons for Escoffier
Symphonist of Scents
![]()
Symphonist of Scents is a new 5-star Polearm and Escoffier's signature weapon. This weapon provides a 66.2% CRIT DMG bonus from its second stat. Additionally, the passive increases the equipping character's ATK by a huge amount through different effects, making Symphonist of Scents Escoffier's best weapon in the game.
Calamity Queller
![]()
Calamity Queller is an excellent option for Escoffier. It already has the highest Base ATK among the weapons in the game, and on top of that, it provides a ton of ATK bonuses from both its second stat and passive. Furthermore, the equipping characters gain a decent amount of Elemental DMG bonus, so Escoffier won't lose out on a lot of overall damage output.
However, you will want to focus more on CRIT stats when farming artifacts.
Deathmatch
![]()
Deathmatch is another great weapon choice for Escoffier. It has a CRIT Rate second stat for consistent critical hits. Furthermore, the weapon's passive increases the character's ATK, so it will help Escoffier with her healing too. However, Deathmatch is a Battle Pass weapon, and buying it specifically for the Fontainian chef is not worth it. But go for it if you already have the 4-star Polearm.
Tamayuratei no Ohanashi
![]()
Tamayuratei no Ohanashi is one of the best F2P weapons for Escoffier. It has an Energy Recharge second stat, which will help you with smoother rotation. Furthermore, the weapon's passive gives a huge ATK boost, increasing Escoffier's healing output. Tamayuratei no Ohanashi is an event weapon from version 5.5, so if you missed the event, it's better to look for another F2P option.
Favonius Lance
![]()
Favonius Lance is another good F2P option for the renowned chef from Fontaine. While it won't increase Escoffier's overall damage, it will allow you to play her as a battery for the team.
Talent priority
Escoffier's talent priority is pretty straightforward. If you want a healer build, level up her Elemental Burst first, followed by her Elemental Skill. If you want a more balanced build where Escoffier doesn't lose overall damage output, level up her Elemental Skill before Burst. You can ignore her Normal Attacks.
Best teams for Escoffier
![]()
Listed below are some of the best teams for Escoffier in Genshin Impact:
The team comps for Escoffier are currently limited, but we can expect more teams soon when more Cryo characters are released.
