Destructoid Tuesday, October 28, 2025 5:03 PM Amazon steps back from AAA development (and towards AI) amid massive round of job cuts       In a mass culling of jobs, Amazon is set to reduce staff by around 14,000 in the very near future, and its gaming departments have not been spared, with the company stating that it has "made the difficult decision to halt a significant amount of [its] first-party AAA game development work." This comes days after the company launched its Luna gaming service, which offers members free PC games each month. Steve Boom—vice president of Audio, Twitch, and Games—added that the company will be "making significant role reductions in our studios in Irvine and San Diego, as well as [its] central publishing team." Image via Amazon Games This could very well mean the upcoming Lord of the Rings MMO, currently in development, may never grace our screens. This is also after the relatively successful launches of New World Aeternum and Throne and Liberty, both of which now hold only a fraction of their peak player base on Steam. It's unclear at this point what this might mean for the future of these established games and how they'll be impacted by the layoffs, but we can more than likely expect far less future content. It's also unclear what will become of the Tomb Raider game in development at Amazon. What is clear is how in a public blog on the company's website, it posted an update on these events. And yes, you guessed it, AI was mentioned. How big a role AI will play in Amazon's future game development is unclear, but it definitely has a place at Amazon, judging from the blog post. Update on Oct. 28 at 4pm CT: In light of the layoff news, New World: Aeternum has announced that it will no longer receive content updates and will effectively be shut down eventually. The recent Nighthaven release has been made free to all players, and the studio says its "intention is to keep servers operating through 2026." The FAQ on the game's website also states that the devs will "provide a minimum of six months' notice before making any changes that impact your ability to play New World: Aeternum."

Destructoid Tuesday, October 28, 2025 4:50 PM FC 26 Ultimate Scream Team 2 players (leaks) and release countdown       Ultimate Scream Team 2 players are coming to FC 26 Ultimate Team very soon, and you can expect some fantastic cards hidden in packs. These cards, like Team 1, will be heavily influenced by Halloween and will get boosts on full-moon nights.

However, we already have confirmation about the release date, and certain leaks are also likely to appear before the full launch.

It's the usual routine that EA Sports follows every Friday when it comes to releasing a new batch of promo cards in packs. 11am PT 1pm CT 2pm ET 6pm UTC/BST 7pm CEST If you have stored packs in your club inventory, you can also open them to find promo cards, potentially.

FC 26 Ultimate Scream 2 players (leaks) As of writing, we have received the first set of leaks. Park Ji Sung Ousmane Dembele Marcus Rashford (coming as an SBC player pick) Christian Pulisic (coming as SBC) We should get more leaks as we get closer to the release date.

Destructoid Tuesday, October 28, 2025 4:40 PM Best guns in Battlefield REDSEC – Weapon tier list       A whole new battlefield has arrived. Welcome to Fort Lyndon, the battle royale map in Battlefield REDSEC. When you drop into Fort Lyndon, you will need to be geared up to take on the enemies around you, on top of the wall of fire that is ever-encroaching and looking to kill you in one hit. That's why you need to be equipped with the knowledge (and equipment) for the best guns and loadouts in Battlefield REDSEC. The Battlefield will be evolving over time, but here are our picks for the best guns to use in REDSEC depending on your class. Battlefield REDSEC weapons meta Image via EA To get your custom loadout weapons, you can earn a Custom Weapon Drop during a match or find them as they will sometimes land around the map periodically in each game. But first, you need to find some ground loot to keep yourself prepared to deal with oncoming attackers. In REDSEC, just like BF6, weapons are not restricted to your class, but each class specializes in different weapons. This means that the best weapon to use depends on what class you're using. Complete Battlefield REDSEC weapons tier list REDSEC offers all 45 weapons that are also present in Battlefield 6. However, the meta for the battle royale will be different due to the nature of the mode itself. That said, you'll once again want to use really meta choices to defeat your enemies and become the last team standing. To separate the weapons, I have used four tiers. S-tier weapons are the best choices for the current meta. A-tier weapons are good choices that have slight limitations compared to the options in the S-tier. B-tier weapons can be decent options if you can bypass their weaknesses with the correct attachments. C-tier weapons work poorly in the current meta, and it's best to avoid them unless you don't have an option. The table below has every weapon classified according to its respective meta rating. Tier Assault Rifle SMG Sniper LMG Carbine Shotgun DMR S Kord 6P67 M433 UMG-40 SGX SL9 (only if you can control its hit registrations) M2010 ESR SV-98 L110 RPKM M4A1 QBZ-192 N/A SVDM A Sor-556 Mk2 Nvo-228E B36A4 PW5A3 KV9 PSR DRS-IAR KTS100 Mk8 M60 M123K SG-554R AK-205 M87A1 LMR27 M39 EMR B AK4D SCW-10 PW7A2 N/A M240L M277 GRTZ-BC M1014 SVK-8.6 C L85A3 TR-7 USG-90 N.A M250 N/A 18.5KS-K N/A The only category of weapons missing from the table above is the Handgun. You can use any that you find, and they will hardly make much of a difference in my experience. In REDSEC, just like BF6, weapons are not restricted to your class, but each class specializes in different weapons. This means that the best weapon to use depends on what class you're using. Best Assault loadout in Battlefield REDSEC The Assault class is perfect for opening up new paths on the battlefield. With the Assault class, you can reach areas that will otherwise remain inaccessible, setting up new strategic benefits for yourself and your squad. Your gadgets also work well with most weapons inside the game, which acts as a bonus. Category Choice Primary Weapon KORD 6P67 Secondary Weapon M45A1 Gadget 1 M87A1 Gadget 2 High Explosive Launcher Throwable Frag Grenade Best Engineer loadout in Battlefield REDSEC With REDSEC getting a tank, it becomes pretty important for the Engineer to take all kinds of enemy vehicles down. The Engineer has gadgets and abilities that do bonus damage to vehicles, including tanks. If you're uncomfortable with default weapon choices, just switch to an LMG. Category Choice Primary Weapon SCW-10 Secondary Weapon M45A1 Gadget 1 MAS 148 or RPG-7V2 Gadget 2 AV Mine Throwable Frag Grenade Best Support loadout in Battlefield REDSEC The Support is a powerful class, as you can provide your team with more ammo and armor. You will often become the difference between your squad running out of supplies and having enough bullets to shred the enemies. Your proficiency with the LMGs means that it's your job to lay down suppression fire. Category Choice Primary Weapon SCW-10 Secondary Weapon P18 Gadget 1 Defibrilator Gadget 2 Grenade Intercept System Throwable Smoke Grenade Best Recon loadout in Battlefield REDSEC The Recon's primary role is to hit from a distance with the help of sniper rifles. Your gadgets are also focused on creating a veil so that you can stay hidden for a longer period of time. In REDSEC, your primary task is to scout the enemies from a distance and mark them for your team. Category Choice Primary weapon M2010 ESR Secondary weapon M45A1 Gadget 1 C4 Explosives Gadget 2 AP Mine Throwable Frag Grenade or Proximity Detector Like our content?
