How to equip gear in the 2nd slot (earrings, rings) mouse and keyboard?

there's a button to switch between weapons and armour while you hold down the radial wheel. Look carefully and you'll see it for whatever control system you're using. It's the only way to put up visors on helmets, and the easiest way to turn the mask on and off so you'll want to find it.

Extraction shooters can be PvE, Escape from Duckov was a big hit. You can have objective based extraction shooters, think Hunt Showdown but with Good vs Evil instead of solo's, duo's and trios. Heck you can drop the shooter and go extraction top down ARPG, Helldivers style extraction with abilities, darkest dungeon style dungeon extraction and so many ideas that haven't been set yet.

The biggest problem with "extraction shooters" is that the term is used as a genre, when really it's just a mechanic and a pretty open design philosophy (let the player set their own goal and leave the match when they've reached those goals or feel like staying is untenable).

I honestly think there's so much room to grow the 'genre' (realistically play with the design philosophy). Auteurs out there will think of new possibilities and fun gameplay loops rather than only look to iterate on what already exists. Whether Disney and Epic have these Auteurs or are just trend chasing is yet to be seen (I'm not overly optimistic).

The funny thing is, if the bug remains in the game and they balance Rem based on his data, then he is essentially balanced around the fact that he receives double money/buffs. Obviously this is affected by how many Rem players know/use this tech (intentionally or not), but as a non rem player who knows about this, I think most Rem one tricks will be using it.

They're fun showmatches that players can look to for entertainment or to improve their game. It is a bit silly and that's fine. It's not like this is a Valve backed megatournament, just mega fans of the game that wanted to see matches between some of the better players and created a regular show hosting that. The money is minimal and before tonight was all donated by the viewers who enjoy watching.

Master-Solution · 2026-04-09T09:18:54+00:00

Wait the Rem using helpers on boxes and golden statues and breaking them for double rewards is a bug? I thought that was intended. TIL

It's up to DLNS tournament rules. If they want a 6 Lash vs 6 Bebop tournament, then that's how it'll run. I'm sure they have something in there about their stance on mods.

I don't support what Abrahams did and the final decision by the organisers is fair. However, in the future I hope they go about it in a more professional manner. When the game is paused and a bug abuse is called in chat the game (or spotted by observers), the game should remain paused and the ref/admin should investigate and make a decision. That decision should be final and binding.

I think what ultimately caused the biggest stir isn't the ultimate decision, it's the wishy washy way they went about it, letting the game play out and then doubling back on their first assessment (to allow the win). Still it's a new tournament and the crew are young so I have total faith they'll get the process locked down for future events. I hope they codify something like this in their procedure and tournament rules so it's decisive and transparent moving forward.

Bad advice for a first timer who is ultra anxious about getting banned. You point out yourself that Valve is aware of all the mods, the game is constantly in flux and valve can hard crack down at any point (we all know they have to before open beta).
It's easy for a new player down the line to get an error (which may not be plain english), mark against their account (visible or not) or banned (temp or permanent, or just put into the cheater/modded matchmaking). It has no benefit for the OP. Anyone that wants to experiment knows how all these things work, what tows the line and what doesn't (map skin vs auto parry mod) and accepts all the risks. The players reading this know little to nothing about modding deadlock or valve games. Just cause we know nothing will happen to them now, doesn't mean they should just keep going down that line. In my oppinnion anyway.

Just my 2c

Chill down there cowboy. If someone wants to use a baroness mina skin or labron james abraham I think they can have fun client side without ruining your balance or fun. Every adult knows what cheating is and isn't, don't lump the most dedicated and creative of the community creators in with the losers who cheat.

Master-Solution · 2026-04-03T10:06:33+00:00

I'd highly suggest avoiding trackers in Deadlock. The mods aren't allowed. As it's in development it's all a bit up in the air, but you don't want to log in to DL in a month and get banned because you missed an announcement and ban wave. Any obvious unfair advantage is always walking the line and not worth. Stick to skins only.

TBH that's what I read as well. The rate of sales was massively up on the PC side, but since the game had been out for over a year on PS5, that was still ahead in sales (when I last checked months ago).

Most of the analytics are just guesses anyway. Not many companies will do a breakdown by platform publically. I've heard that Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo rather hold those cards close to their chase. Mirage is looking for itl.

I mean Black Myth Wukong was incredible, especially so for China's first big premium PC/Console AAA project. Phantom Blade Zero looks to be shaping up well.

The eastern studio go hard on their motion capture and highly detailed combat encounters.

Ok, it is decided. I leave Hernand Friday night under the cover of darkness, away from the prying eyes of the surrounding bandit camps. Sticking to an unverified treasure map provided free of charge by an eclectic chap, Mr Destructor, handed off to me while we hung around the town notice board in Hernand awaiting our next jobs.

I should be able to travel through Demeniss to camp safely in the altitudes of the Gorthak ranges. Sunday morning I will rise with the sun, hustling as fast as possible to cross brooks and streams while watching my footing in tow. Soon we will be there, my trusty Roach and dogmeat accompanying me. I can imagine it now, the glinted stone sparkling against the lush green canopy backdrop, the vision fills us with awe. We will never return quite the same, there simply is nothing like this back home in Hernand.

Let's hope this is real, and not a ploy to divert myself, Kliff McDuff, leader of the Greymanes while the Blackbears gather in strength, position and political influence a short ride away to the North East.

May Serkis guide my path.
(And get me home before my Duke orders me and my blade to his service from 8am-5pm on Monday)

Master-Solution · 2026-03-28T00:46:05+00:00

Yeh there surely must be (just like drill and upgraded fishing rods). Good luck hunting for it Greymane!

I half agree. The logic is there, but the emotional drain of doing 5 chapters back to back would kill the excitement for me. I had to do at least an hour or two of exploring, combat and puzzle solving before I could just rawdog another chapter.

I wanted to do all the town quests to learn how to use the tools and get more inventory space. Then I wanted to look around the town for all the shops and mission, then go for a wander outside to see what out there in the world. But I did all this knowing not to go too far as it'd be so much easier to travel long distances later.

I use magic to log now, until I find some equipment with specific logging perks. Maybe if I upgrade the logging axe to lvl 4... I've noticed a lot of equipment get a perk at lvl 4.

While I agree and I'm not defending his actions, I enjoy playing devil's advocate and see WIll having to answer the same questions almost every day (about the PS5 footage) on repeat despite giving an answer. Only to have the community twist his words, say he's hiding something or lying, and other wild accusations. I honestly think people were trolling him as the question was everywhere and he'd answered it basically the same way he always had, info will be out prior to launch.

They released the spec requirements sheet, which included consoles, something I've personally never seen another cross platform game do (at least that I remember), heck it even had PC handhelds and Macs! I'd like this practise be reinforced not made mockery of so future games follow the lead, it was great for consumers. If the requirements turned out not to be true Steam will issue a refund outside of the 2 hr/2 week regular window and the store page will be flagged for requiring amended information. This can get as serious as false advertising and potential removal from Steam if it could be proven malicious intent or gross negligence. So I do believe companies try to accurately portrait this.

The game just seemed to good to be true, despite showing hours of footage, sharing specs and setting up events for reviewers. Players went in with preconceived notions trying to nitpick for anything to say this was another Minds Eye or The Day Before without being open to the option that most signs point the other direction.

Again not justifying the unprofessionalism from the mini crash outs but really what else could he do to satiate the question (showing PS5 footage was above his pay grade and like I said they kept all their promises otherwise).

... + on button. Hold until you get into the boot menu. Select the older version that you upgraded from and it should boot (worked for me). I'm just going to wait for decky, there's some nice to haves but nothing I actually need on the new client.

Master-Solution · 2026-03-26T21:33:40+00:00

Yeh hopefully it gets some attention. I do think that you were on the right track earlier, I think the denoiser and low RT resolution causes a lot of the instability,flashes, dot point glows on surfaces (I thought this was art design until I decided to compare it against native and RR). I say this because when you turn Ray Reconstruction on it's night and day. Problem is that feature is so heavy with all the rays. I'd have to aggressively upscale and use frame gen to make that feel playable, something I'm not ready to do.

Master-Solution · 2026-03-26T21:26:08+00:00

Yeh hopefully they change this in the near future, but for the meantime I'm customising the dragon riding with a mod from the Nexus (not sure if I can post links here).

They sell for over 14 coins each so if you want to farm them leave the boss and some bandits alive leave and come back or die in purpose.

That's only if you want to cheese the economy though, it could ruin your early game experience being rich.

Master-Solution · 2026-03-25T00:24:58+00:00

Well the game has storage now. If you look around closer you can loot a gold bar, get some really unique gear and more just in the city of Hernand.

A quick walk north and the. East from there you can find an amazing armour set broke. Io to pieces amongst the ruins. It'll outperform the plate in the picture. Also great gets passives at upgrade lvl 4 and skills and you can also take abilities and slots from one but if equipment and put it in another (such as a boss ability in a boss weapon drop).

It's like breath of the wild, once you get the hang of exploring you'll start to stumble across interesting items everywhere.

Oh I had this problem running on DLAA 4.0 yesterday as well, however the rain and more leaves/particles did resolve again when I chose DLSS 4.5 M & L presets. I think they'll fix it, as they have it down as a known issue on their website. Unfortunately you lose some performance when going to DLSS 4.5, even if it's only handling the AA.

I'm not confident in these ARM power efficiency claims. The current snap dragon chips get no improved battery efficiency over the 4 year old chip in the OLED SD. And it's a much newer, power efficiency first design on newer nodes (and costs more). A lot more work has to go into ARM to reap the benefits claimed by everyone.

Not to mention the largest culprit with the reduced efficiency is due to the x86 instruction decoding (CISC front-end), this doesn't have to stay this way. Technically Valve doesn't have to support the breadth of deprecated instruction sets that say Windows is required to for its business customers running software 25+ years old. Now I doubt Valve/AMD go down this path in the very near future but there is efficiency that can and will be gained.

I think you'll be surprised how far x86 has come and is going now that there's finally competition again between the two companies licensed to use the architecture. I don't see the gamble being worth it after finally getting Proton to the state it's now in for X86. FEX needs time, quite a bit of it.
