     Valorant codes May 2025

May 7, 2025: We've checked for new Valorant codes.

What are the new Valorant codes? Everyone likes it when they get free stuff, and it's even better when it's for hugely popular multiplayer games like Valorant. However, in the case of high-profile titles such as this, there can be long gaps between giveaways, and even then, they may not be available to redeem for long.

When Riot Games does give us a few free Valorant items to redeem, they could include Gun Buddies, which you can clip onto your weapons after tinkering with Valorant crosshair codes. If you want a stylish new look to show off as you climb through the Valorant ranks, here's the latest list of codes for this highly competitive FPS game so you can get the newest freebies.

     Best external SSD for gaming 2025: top portable drives

What is the best external SSD for gaming? Portable SSDs are an easy way to expand your gaming PC's storage without the hassle of rummaging around the insides of your machine. Simply plug one into a free USB port on your system and you can access your files with ease and even use these drives for offloading your game libraries from apps like Steam, letting you play games on a system with limited internal storage such as a laptop.

The best external SSD overall is the Samsung T9, thanks to its incredibly fast speed, light and portable design, and tough rubberized exterior. For even more protection, the Samsung T7 Shield offers IP65 water and dust resistance. Meanwhile, for slower bulk storage, or best external hard drive pick is the WD My Passport. For more recommendations, check out the list below. Meanwhile, if you want some guidance on what to look for in an external SSD, check out the how to choose section of this guide, along with the FAQ that answers all your external SSD questions.

One of the programmers behind the very first Grand Theft Auto has praised Rockstar for delaying GTA 6's initial release to May next year, observing (not in so many words) that the developers could have rushed out an early release consisting of a city's worth of T-posing NPCs and whitebox freeways, and people would still have paid top dollar for the game.

Polar Star is, basically, rock paper pistol, but with a few dab-handed puzzle twists that make it instantly compelling. You're a saloon dwelling varmint sat at a table with nothing but your six shooter and a glass of whiskey for company, and you're accosted by a chain of ne'er-do-wells. Perhaps there's a bounty on your head. Perhaps it's their whiskey you're drinking. It's not clear, but it seems nefarious. You know what ne'er-do-wells are like.

Last month, Blizzard announced the first of their planned collaboration events/themed cosmetic greed-jamborees for action RPG Diablo 4. Kicking things off is Berserk - Kentaro Miura's dark fantasy manga about a large man swinging a large sword at demons, full of panels that are very good at conveying thrilling duels with a bunch of slash marks and captions that say 'snick' a lot. I'm no superfan, but I do own a few books, and the original anime is one of my favourites - even if its brilliant theme song lied to me re: having zero problems in life as long as I'm wearing my glasses.

cartethyia drip marketing wuthering waves 2.4

Kuro Games has finally confirmed that Cartethyia will become a playable character in Wuthering Waves via drip marketing. She is a 5-star character and will be released in the upcoming version 2.4 update.

Unfortunately, the developers did not share any details about Cartethyia's Attribute and weapon type. That said, we do have an idea, thanks to all the recent leaks.

Cartethyia will release in WuWa 2.4

Kuro Games finally drip-marketed Cartethyia, also known as Fleurdelys, on Wuthering Waves' official social media accounts, confirming that the Blessed Maiden will be released in version 2.4. Furthermore, the post reveals that she is a 5-star unit, which shouldn't be surprising considering her role in the story.

The drip marketing post also reads:

"The powers of the Sentinel and Threnodian clash and unite within her, propelling her into an uncertain future. Whether the future is bright or dim, she will hold the blade firmly and confront all that comes her way."

https://twitter.com/Wuthering_Waves/status/1919965414299230521

Cartethyia's splash art also shows her adult self (Fleurdelys), so we can look forward to playing her in both forms in Wuwa. That said, it is unclear if the second form will be locked behind Resonance Liberation or if she can transform by charging her Forte and using the Skill.

Given Cartethyia's connections with the Sentinel Imperator, the Threnodian Leviathan, and the Dark Tide, it is safe to say she will be one of the strongest characters in the game, similar to Jinhsi from Huanglong.

Expected Attribute and weapon

Kuro Games has not announced Fleurdelys' Attribute and weapon type. However, based on the recent leaks, it is speculated that she could be an Aero unit. Furthermore, Cartethyia is seen using a Sword in the game, so it will likely be her weapon of choice.

Luckily, the developers usually reveal the element and weapon type soon after the character drip marketing, so you won't have to wait long for official confirmation.

Since Cartethyia is the first character to be revealed for the Wuthering Waves 2.4 update, she will likely be in the first phase. Thus, you can expect her banner to be released on or around June 12.

Secret Source Automaton Overseer Device in genshin impact

The Secret Source Automaton Overseer Device in Genshin Impact is a world boss located in Natlan. While it is easily visible on the map, getting to its location for the first time can be confusing, since it is on a small island at the corner of Natlan.

This guide will help you reach the Secret Source Automaton Overseer Device boss and give you a small tip to beat it.

Secret Source Automaton Overseer Device boss location and how to reach

Secret Source Automaton Overseer Device boss location
Screenshot by Destructoid

The Secret Source Automaton Overseer Device boss is on the small island southwest of the Atocpan region in Natlan. Unfortunately, there's no land connecting it to the mainland of Natlan, so getting here for the first time may be tricky. If you have Furina, you can use her Elemental Skill to walk on water and get to the island.

Screenshot by Destructoid

For those without Furina, teleport to the waypoint southwest of the Children of Echoes and head straight towards the shore to find a couple of Koholasaurus near the Secret Source Dragon Idol. Indwell the Saurian and swim to the boss's island. You will also find a lot of Phlogiston Particles on the way, so you can use the Aquadash skill to get there faster. Once there, unlock the teleport waypoint for fast travel next time.

Tips to beat the boss

You can use brute force to beat the Secret Source Automaton Overseer Device boss in Genshin Impact. However, during the battle, it may enter the Sweeper Mode, during which it will start using hydro pump attacks, and these attacks also get stronger as time passes. Furthermore, the boss's elemental resistance significantly increases in this state.

use cryo attacks to stop the overseer device boss
Screenshot by Destructoid

The only way to stop the boss is to use Cryo attacks, so it's best to use a proper Cryo team or at least bring one Cryo unit that can perform fast Cryo attacks, such as Ayaka or Wriothesley.

Challenge rewards

Secret Source Automaton Overseer Device challenge rewards

Here are all the rewards you can obtain by defeating the Secret Source Automaton Overseer Device boss in Genshin Impact:

  • Secret Source Airflow Accumulator
  • Va­ru­na­da La­zu­rite Sli­ver
  • Va­ru­na­da La­zu­rite Fragment
  • Va­ru­na­da La­zu­rite Chunk
  • Va­ru­na­da La­zu­rite Gemstone
  • Berserker artifact set
  • The Exile Adventurer artifact set
  • Gladiator's Finale artifact set
  • Wanderer's Troupe artifact set

Secret Source Airflow Accumulator is a character ascension material. As of this writing, Escoffier is the only character who needs it.

Seth Rogen Operator in Blaze of Glory event

Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 3 Reloaded has brought in not one, not two, but three events to commemorate Call of Duty's traditional 4/20 event. It's a bit late to the party, but the show must go on.

High Art has already kicked off for the season, and now it's Blaze of Glory's turn. Here's how to play and get rewards in BO6 and Warzone.

How to play the Blaze of Glory event in BO6 and Warzone

You can collect Blaze Bucks and exchange them on the Event page while the Blaze of Glory is active. Black Ops 6 players can acquire this currency through eliminations, while Warzone users can open up supply caches. The Blaze Bucks aren't guaranteed to drop every single time, so you'll have to grind through several rounds to collect all the rewards.

Blaze Buck from Operator
Screenshot and remix by Destructoid

To get the Blaze Bucks fast, you can participate in the 4/20 themed modes, like Blazetown 24/7 and Joint Operations. Warzone also has a unique mode with High Trip Resurgence. Opening caches here will net you both Blaze Bucks and Shade abilities, giving you more bang for your buck.

Once you gather five or more Blaze Bucks, head over to the Blaze of Glory section to meet up with Seth Rogen. He acts as the event host, sounding off a few hilarious lines to keep you entertained. You'll also get a sneak peek at the final reward, which will differ in design for BlackCell users.

All Blaze of Glory event rewards

Each Blaze of Glory reward requires a certain amount of Blaze Bucks, starting with five and ending with 100. Unlike High Art, all gifts are shrouded in mystery, so you never know what you'll get. However, I've gone through each tier, and this is what's available:

  • 30 Min 2XP Token: 5 Blaze Bucks
  • In the Potlight Large Decal: 10 Blaze Bucks
  • Jackpot Emblem: 10 Blaze Bucks
  • 45 Minute Weapon 2XP: 20 Blaze Bucks
  • Roll It Calling Card: 10 Blaze Bucks
  • Phoenix Up GobbleGum: 10 Blaze Bucks
  • Frost Blast Field Upgrade: 20 Blaze Bucks
  • Vendetta Perk: 20 Blaze Bucks
  • Look at this! Emote: 50 Blaze Bucks
  • Battle Pass Tier Skip: 100 Blaze Bucks
  • Highly Decorated Camo: Collect all 10 prizes
  • Highly Decorated BlackCell Camo: Collect all 10 prizes and purchase BlackCell bundle

The new Vendetta perk is an exclusive Blue-type Recon ability that offers you bonus points when targeting an enemy that previously killed you. If you're more of a Zombies fan, you can sink your teeth into the Frost Blast, creating a blizzard that slows down enemies. You can think of it as another Ice Staff, but with limited uses

One of the last rewards is the Highly Decorated Camos, which features a familiar leafy animated skin. BlackCell users will gain a gun coated in black instead of its standard green and purple design.

Blaze of Glory reward page
Screenshot by Destructoid

When does the Blaze of Glory event end in BO6 and Warzone?

Black Ops 6 and Warzone's Blaze of Glory event concludes on May 15. High Art will also wrap up by then, presumably ending all of Call of Duty's 4/20 events. On the bright side, a double XP weekend will occur while it's active, earning you rewards faster. You can then look forward to the C.O.D.E. Got Your Six event when the two celebrations conclude. This event will undoubtedly provide you with more gifts as we approach the launch of BO6 and Warzone Season 4.
