A recent Foundation update for Arc Raiders introduces a new quest that's more interesting than ever before. It's not just about avoiding ARCs to survive; it's about creating noise to attract them, completely overturning our previous survival strategies.

This is Clamoring for Attention side quest. Shani believes ARCs react not only to gunfire but also to any loud noise. Therefore, she wants you to test whether you can use noise to distract ARC machines from key defensive positions, creating safer routes for Raiders.

Upon completion, you'll not only gain combat experience and strategy but also receive at least 13 key in-game items as a reward from Shani.

Without further ado, here's a quick, safe, and efficient guide covering the main content, detailed steps, and important considerations.

Essential Supplies

Before entering the map to complete the mission, it's best to bring three wires and one battery. These are consumable items for the mission. While they can be found on the map, it will be time-consuming and dangerous.

Wires and batteries can be found in electronic devices such as computers and servers. Pilgrim's Peak area is a good place to farm these items, with a higher drop rate.

Mission Content

This mission takes place at Blue Gate. You need to find three items scattered throughout the map that will emit loud noises: a siren, a horn, and a boom box.

Fortunately, these three interactive items do not need to be completed consecutively in the same game, nor is there a fixed order. Even if you are knocked down midway, the game will save your progress.

Warehouse Complex Siren

Warehouse Complex is located in the central area of ​​Blue Gate, very close to Checkpoint. ARC guards around it are not very tight, so it's not too dangerous. A word of caution: you may encounter patrolling Bombardiers and Rocketeers on your way to Warehouse Complex, so it's best to carry some Arc Raiders Items that can pose a threat to them, just in case.

The two new weapons introduced in Arc Raiders Flashpoint update, Dolabra and Canto, are very suitable.

The key to the mission is finding the alarm in the corner of the rooftop of the northernmost building in Warehouse Complex. A very noticeable marker is an antenna-like device; reach the base of the antenna, where you'll find an alarm with a yellow light.

However, the alarm is broken, so you'll need to use three wires to repair it. If you're unsure if you have them in your inventory, remember to check your gear before setting off on the mission, as searching for materials on the map is both dangerous and time-consuming. Once the alarm is repaired, interact with it and pull the trigger.

Pulling the alarm will attract a large number of nearby ARCs, so you'll need to evacuate quickly.

Bus Horn at Checkpoint

Checkpoint is located next to Warehouse Complex. Along the roadside are many abandoned vehicles, and in the middle is an abandoned bus. Note that it must be a bus on the road surface; buses in tunnels don't count. You need to get into the driver's seat, approach the horn, and trigger the interaction.

Be extremely careful here, as this interaction requires you to hold down the horn. The horn will emit a loud noise, almost instantly spawning a pair of Comet ARCs.

Comet ARCs have significantly higher attack power than regular ARCs, so you may need to be ready for combat immediately after the interaction. It's crucial to carry high-damage weapons and equipment before entering the map.

You can also deploy Surge Coil around you before interacting. Surge Coil is a new item introduced in this Flashpoint update. It periodically electrifies the surrounding area, briefly stunning any nearby objects. This not only helps prevent ARC ambushes but also prevents enemy players from looting.

Village's Boom Box

Village is located at the easternmost end of the map, and the key item for the mission - A boom box - is in the northwest of Village. You can enter Village from Reinforced Reception side, which will allow you to find the boom box faster and reduce detours.

On a small concrete terrace outdoors in the northwest, there's a bench with a boom box emitting a yellow glow. The boom box requires a battery to operate, so you need to carry it in your backpack before starting the mission.

Once activated, the boom box will start playing music. This mission produces slightly less noise compared to the other two, but it will still attract the attention of ARCs, so make sure to evacuate quickly after completing the mission.

Survival Strategy

• Use the zipline to quickly reach and retreat from Checkpoint.
• Take care of any nearby ARCs before triggering the noise.
• Choose the mission location closest to you based on your spawn point.
• Assess the danger level of different missions. Complete the less dangerous ones first to lure the enemies away, then tackle the more dangerous ones.
• Plan your escape route in advance and clear obstacles.

After completing all three tasks, speak with Shani to receive the following three rewards:

• 5 Lure Grenades
• 5 Noisemakers
• 3 Tagging Grenades

Before embarking on the tasks, have this top-secret guide with you, and completing them and earning the rewards will be as easy as drinking water. All the details and winning tips you need are in this guide.

Developer HoYoverse has officially revealed all details about Genshin Impact Version 6.5 Luna VI, including the update date, the new character Linnea, the update's gacha structure, and more. This popular action RPG is currently nearing the end of Version 6.4, with Version 6.5 on the horizon.

Players are undoubtedly eager to know the details of Genshin Impact version 6.5 update. This guide will explain the update's contents in detail.

Update Arrives On Schedule

The next major update for Genshin Impact is Version 6.5, officially announced in a previous livestream. Following the livestream, the official release date was confirmed: Genshin Impact Version 6.5 will launch on all gaming platforms on April 8th.

This date aligns with previous player speculation. With the official release date confirmed, it's generally unlikely to change after a livestream event. Players can rest assured and simply wait for April 8th.

New Character

A major highlight of Version 6.5 Luna VI is the new player character Linnea, a brand-new 5-star Geo character specializing in archery. We've already seen leaks about her, and now her combat mechanics have been officially confirmed.

Linnea specializes in Lunar-Crystallize reactions and can amplify their power, while also dealing off-field Lunar-Crystallize DMG. This makes Linnea a perfect partner for Zibai in Genshin Impact, serving as a secondary DPS and synergizing with Columbina to boost damage output.

Meanwhile, Lunar's Burst skill provides healing, the amount of which is linked to defense, making her a reliable secondary sustain character. Because she passively reduces enemy Geo RES, she can also synergize with other Geo DPS characters such as Navia.

In addition, Lunar passively boosts the team's Elemental Mastery, which not only enhances the power of Lunar-Crystallize reactions but also provides a buff when Hydro Crystallize reactions occur. If you have Zibai, you should know that Linnea might be the key character for maximizing the power of Lunar-Crystallize reactions.

New Weapon

Linnea excels in archery, so the brand-new 5-star bow weapon, Golden Frostbound Oath, will be released alongside Linnea from April 8th to April 28th. Let's take a look at the weapon's skill attributes.

When a character equipped with this item hits an enemy with an Elemental Skill or Lunar-Crystallize attack, they gain Frost Fae's Favor effect for 6 seconds. The character's Geo DMG is increased by 40%, and Lunar-Crystallize Reaction DMG is increased by 40%.

During this effect's duration, if Moondrifts are near the character equipping this item, all other nearby allies gain Frost Fae's Mischief effect, increasing Geo DMG by 20% and Lunar-Crystallize Reaction DMG by 20%. This effect triggers even if the character equipping the item is not on the field.

Epitome Invocation & Banners

In addition to the new characters, the official announcement also revealed banner structure for version 6.5, including rerun characters that players can obtain during the update.

Phase 1 of Epitome Invocation will include Linnea and the rerun character Chasca, running from April 8th to April 28th, 2026, for a total of 20 days.

Phase 2 banners include Lauma and Nefer reruns. This phase will run from April 28th to May 19th, 2026, also for 20 days.

Version 6.5 will also introduce a Chronicled Wish banner featuring Fontaine Characters, along with their exclusive weapons, available for a limited time. banner includes five characters from Genshin Impact: Lyny, Sigewinne, Navia, Emilie, and Clorinde.

During this period, you can use Genshin Impact Genesis Crystal to redeem Primogems for gacha pulls in Epitome Invocation.

Story Updates

This update will bring players back to Nod-Krai. While Version 6.5 will not add new Archon Quests, new World Quests have been announced. These quests are closely related to the previously leaked, now confirmed, new map area in Nod-Krai.

Meanwhile, a new area, Dornman Port, will be added around Mondstadt, becoming the main port for trade in goods and items.

In addition, Temple of Space, a hidden area located above Mondstadt, will be incorporated into the new map area. It is the private vault of Asmoday, the ruler of the skies and space, storing precious items from all regions of Teyvat continent.

New Boss

This update will also introduce a new boss, Watcher: Fallen Vigil, who will appear in Dornman Port. This boss's drops will be upgrade materials for the new character Linnea.

Event List

The following are the upcoming events in Genshin Impact 6.5 Luna VI:

MLB 26 was officially released on all major platforms on March 17, 2026. While retaining the series' high-quality gameplay, this title updates core modes such as Road to the Show and Diamond Dynasty.

However, some long-standing issues remain unresolved. Therefore, the overall game experience presents a significant disconnect: the feel is better than ever before, with more accurate and controllable hitting and pitching, but the graphics and presentation haven't kept pace with the times.

Below is a detailed analysis of MLB The Show 26's graphics and effects, Diamond Dynasty, Road to the Show, and Franchise Mode, and whether it's worth buying.

Graphics and Effects

MLB The Show 26's graphics haven't delivered the significant leap many players expected.

The player models look outdated, and their movements are stiff. The details and lighting in the court environment also fall short of the standards of mainstream sports games, clearly lagging behind other sports titles.

Compared to games like NBA 2K and WWE 2K series, the gap is significant in facial animation, player detail, and overall visual presentation. The improvement in graphics compared to previous titles is negligible. While animation smoothness is acceptable, the overall visual presentation remains stagnant, making for a less than ideal visual experience over extended play.

Broadcast footage, audience reactions, cutscenes, and game environments largely reuse previous visuals, offering no novelty. Therefore, the only highlight is the soundtrack, especially in Storylines mode, where classic songs effectively create a historical atmosphere for legendary players.

Despite this, the game's overall foundation remains solid, sufficient to support a full season of content.

Diamond Dynasty

This year's Diamond Dynasty offers richer content, focusing more on customization and progression systems. The interface has been completely revamped, with simpler and smoother menus, clearer collection tracking, and more defined progression goals, clearly showcasing the player's growth journey. The addition of Red Diamond rarity and an improved Parallel XP system allows players to better manage their teams and make targeted upgrades, rather than simply grinding for experience.

The return of World Baseball Classic is one of the biggest highlights. Players can participate in WBC-themed Mini Seasons, win tournaments, and participate in related exclusive events and projects. Combined with the flexible Mini Seasons and more free team development methods, the entire mode feels more open and rewarding.

Meanwhile, Storylines mode remains an important gameplay element, allowing players to immerse themselves in the game while gaining a deeper understanding of legendary players' histories. This blend of gameplay and narrative provides unique value to the overall content.

Road to the Show

Road to the Show has received a significant upgrade this year, with a more complete player career structure and greater controllability. The amateur career stage has been expanded to include high school, college, and then the professional stage, with 11 new colleges added and richer recruitment information. The addition of the new Road to Omaha mode fully presents College World Series experience, making college baseball more than just a brief stop before the draft.

Entering the Major Leagues further enhances freedom. Players can actively request trades, adjust positions, track career milestones, and the improved goal-setting system and new ways to acquire MLB The Show 26 stubs enrich their career journey. Simulation features have also been enhanced, allowing players to participate in crucial moments as they advance their careers.

The overall game direction is very positive, with deeper content, greater controllability, and higher long-term replayability; however, some presentation elements remain somewhat bland.

Franchise Mode

Franchise Mode has also received a practical upgrade, focusing more on management control and giving players more control over team management. A new Trade Hub has been added as the central hub for all trades, with further optimized trade logic that considers factors such as rankings, competitive relationships, roster needs, and market size, making trade negotiations more realistic.

A fourth trade slot has been added, allowing for more complex trades. Roster and rotation logic has also been updated to better align with modern baseball trends. Player valuation, contract negotiation, and overall customization features have been further optimized, allowing players to manage the season more efficiently, but the mode itself hasn't undergone a complete overhaul.

Is it worth playing?

MLB 26 remains a stable and high-quality baseball game. The core gameplay is still strong, and various modes have received substantial updates and optimizations. However, its shortcomings are also apparent: the graphics desperately need a comprehensive upgrade, and the balance of some mission systems still requires adjustment. It doesn't completely revamp the series, but it achieves just the right amount of skill and optimization.

For veteran players of the series, this title is still worth buying, with significant improvements in gameplay and modes. It's also very suitable for baseball newcomers, with its easy-to-learn casual modes and touching historical storyline allowing baseball novices to quickly get started and gradually become true baseball fans. Players who only care about top-notch graphics might be slightly disappointed.

Overall, MLB The Show 26 is a relatively new and worthwhile baseball game. Don't hesitate, play it now!

Many players have recently complained about not understanding how to play Ultimate Festerblight Rotation skill for Unholy Death Knight in WoW MoP Classic. Whether you need the best opening and rotation, or you need to understand Unholy Death Knight's cooldowns, this guide will provide a comprehensive analysis.

Festerblight Rotation

As most of you know, a key element of Unholy Death Knight DPS Rotation is your disease snapshots. A typical rotation achieves this by re-triggering disease snapshots at crucial moments in combat.

When you trigger them, you gain Fallen Crusader, and your other cooldown skills are available just as your disease snapshots skill is about to expire. Festerblight Rotation differs from other rotations in that its goal is to establish an initial disease state at the start of combat using Holy Blight and continuously use festering strikes to extend the disease state, thus maximizing the disease state throughout the fight. Therefore, it's called Festerblight.

You might wonder, why choose Festerblight Rotation instead of a normal rotation, and when can you use Festerblight Rotation? Simulation results for MoP Classic show that, with a full set of T15 gear, Festerblight Rotation DPS is 4000 points higher than the normal rotation in a 5-minute fight.

Our DPS cap can reach approximately 255,000, not 251,000. While the increase may not be dramatic, the rotation is very simple and straightforward, and I think it's easier to learn than the normal rotation, requiring fewer actions per minute.

Requirements

You need the legendary Fabled Feather of Ji-Kun. Whether it's celestial, normal, or heroic difficulty is irrelevant. In addition, you need Brutal Talisman of Shado-Pan Assault. The chance of all effects triggering simultaneously in the later stages of the fight is small, as Feather has no internal cooldown, while Brutal Talisman does. However, when Feather and Brutal Talisman synergize perfectly, Trinkets alone provide a total of 24,720 Strength.

You can quickly trigger disease snapshots, which is very powerful. Festerblight can be used on any boss without needing to switch targets, and it essentially provides 100% boss coverage. This is because the rotation relies on your ability to maintain the initial snapshot with Festering Strikes.

Talents

Regarding recommended talents, you only need to pay attention to Death's Advance, Blood Tap, Plague Leech, and Anti-Magic. I recommend using them in Holy Blight, as this makes it easier to trigger Power stacks on your Faled Feather of Ji-Kun. If you want to further improve Trinket's attributes, you can upgrade it with WoW MoP Classic Gold.

Theoretically, as long as you can lock snapshot at the start with an outbreak or plague strike to obtain the optimal snapshot, you can play even without using these talents.

Essential WeakAuras

As for the skill rotation, two things are essential if you want to execute it correctly. The first thing you should use is a tracker that can monitor disease snapshots in real time, such as Foji's Disease Tracker or Murphy's Disease Snapshot, as long as it can accurately measure the disease snaps during Holy Blight.

The second thing you need is Fojji - Time to Kill, used to track the time required for the boss to die.

Best Rotation Opener

Unholy Rotation cycle differs from the normal cycle because you need to use festering strikes more frequently to extend the initial snapshot duration of the opening skill. Each use of this skill extends boss's disease duration by 6 seconds.

During the fight, you need to adjust the frequency of festering strikes based on when the boss is weakened. Near the end of the fight, you need to start using scourge strikes to maximize damage.

Ideally, your diseases should disappear immediately upon the boss's death. If your initial diseases still have more than a few seconds remaining at the end of the fight, it means you are using festering strikes too frequently. This requires practice to improve; you need to learn how to adjust the frequency of Festering Strikes based on kill timing. These are just prerequisites.

Another important part of Festerblight Rotation is the initial trigger effect. Here are Runes you need to check:

• 1. 10 Stacks from Feather
• 2. Fallen Crusader
• 3. Brutal Talisman Proc
• 4. Potion of Mogu Power
• 5. Synape Springs
• 6. Blood Fury (IF ORC)

The opening sequence is when these effects are most likely to trigger. A typical Festerblight opening sequence is as follows: Cast Army approximately 6 seconds later. Cast Defensive Push 2 seconds before pulling the mob, cast Robot 1 second before pulling the mob, and cast Summon Gargoyle while charging towards the boss. In most cases, you'll find that this triggers Feather, starting the stacking effect.

This concludes the article on MoP Classic Unholy DK Ultimate Festerblight Rotation. This skill is somewhat complex, and there are still many aspects that require further study. Players who are interested are welcome to continue the discussion to prepare for the upcoming Phase 4 Escalation.
