The Labyrinth of Kindo'jan releases on October 13th with Patch 12.1.5, and players can get a piece of Myth track gear from Labyrinths!After you unlock Labyrinths in Patch 12.1.5 and you complete the introduction quest, a new NPC, Wah'du, will be at the entrance and have a quest for you. This quest will task you with going to a chamber in the Labyrinth and finishing the objective there on Tier 8 or above.

Completing the quest will earn you one Mythical Soul Fragment and 2,000 Undercoin. On PTR, Wah'du will then have another similar quest for you, but for another zone, but it's likely that on live servers these quests are Weekly Gated. Once you complete 3 quests and have 3 Mythical Soul Fragments, you can combine them to get a Myth 1/6 piece of gear. The best part is that you can choose the slot that you want it for!

If you're looking for a piece of Myth track gear, this is a great way to spend some Myth crests once Patch 12.1.5 comes out.

Call of Duty’s upcoming DMZ mode sounds like it’s shaping up to be something special. Set on the new Haijin map and inspired by the events and locations from Modern Warfare 4’s Campaign, this open-world combat environment will challenge you to loot, complete objectives, fight both enemies and rival Operators, and extract before everything you’ve earned is lost.

Recent intel drops on the official Call of Duty Blog have given us a much clearer picture of what awaits in Haijin when DMZ launches as part of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4. Players who have digitally pre-ordered or pre-purchased Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 can gain Early Access to the game’s Campaign starting Friday, October 16 and all of DMZ starting Tuesday, October 20.



The events within DMZ are set after the main MW4 Campaign, leaving a power vacuum in its wake. Now it’s up to you to identify a new, mysterious threat and dismantle its operations across the DMZ through various deployments. From scavenging for crafting materials and experimenting with new technology, to leveling up an Operator, the mode sounds like it offers plenty to look forward to. Here are five features to get excited for when you begin your deployment.

Crafting with the 3D Printer

The 3D Printer will be available back at the Forward Operating Base (FOB) between deployments and will serve as your primary crafting station to build equipment and upgrades for your loadout before you drop into Haijin.

The Call of Duty Blog shares that, as you progress through the DMZ, you’ll unlock new crafting recipes to create more powerful equipment – as well as upgrades to the 3D Printer and even the Forward Operating Base itself. Recipes can also be found on deployments and, presuming you extract in one piece, you can then craft those items for your Operator back at the FOB.

When focused on crafting new equipment, the two key things you’ll be looking for when looting on deployments will be Resources and 3D Printer Ingredients – these are the two types of main elements to craft all items.



There are four basic Resources to find during a deployment: Synthetics, Electronics, Chemicals, and Metals, automatically broken down from looted items, into your Backpack and Stash. 3D Printer Ingredients are rarer materials found in specific areas of Haijin and are valuable as an ingredient to make a new Item. Examples include Binding Catalyst, Biomaterials, Detonators, and Control Units, to name a few.

Once you have enough of these two types of materials, you can select how many copies of an item you want to craft at once, then choose where crafted items go: send completed items directly to your Stash for later or equip them directly to your Operator to quickly prepare for the next deployment.

Having this flexibility in how you want to engage the enemy during your deployment can open a variety of experiences in DMZ and can make each deployment feel like it matters, even if you come back to the FOB with zero kills to your name – at least you’ve got handful of electronics or a comms module to make it worth your time.

Running Story Missions & Dynamic Ops

Extraction shooters are always more engaging when every deployment has a clear purpose. That’s not going to be problem with DMZ as it will offer three ways to deploy: Story Missions, Dynamic Operations, and Free Roam. Of those, Story Missions and Dynamic Operations are two that really stand out with their defined objectives and high-tier rewards.



According to the Call of Duty Blog, Story Missions will feature narrative-led deployments that you can complete and replay, though some remain locked until prerequisites are met. Each entry provides briefing intel, required objectives, and rewards – usually high-value gear and DMZ Cash – along with options for a random mission and additional milestone rewards.

Dynamic Operations, meanwhile, give squads multiple goals to pursue within the DMZ. After deploying, you choose an operation and complete its objectives to earn DMZ XP, Cash, and the ability to call in a Supply Drop filled with unpredictable loot. That extra payoff adds anticipation to every successful Op while making Dynamic Operations a promising source of both Cash and XP.

Customizing Your Own Operator

Persistent Operators may be DMZ’s most exciting feature because they allow Haijin to leave a lasting mark on you. You’ll begin with two Operator slots, and unlock a third as you progress through DMZ levels. Each Operator then grows stronger by surviving deployments and earning DMZ XP.

Each successful exfil levels up your Operator’s Dog Tags, and this is the key to gaining Trait Points for your Operator. You can invest those points across the Warfighter, Scout, and Survivalist Trait Trees, creating a meaningful choice between specialization and flexibility: with a maximum of 18 points to earn, and a choice of over 60 Trait Points to augment your Operator, you can tailor each Operator to your skills and preferred role.



For example, Warfighter Traits include Combat Resistance, Quick Fix, and Viper Sense; Scout Traits include improved Thermal Padding, UAV Upgrade, and Field Crafting; while Survivalist Traits include Faster and Free Revives, increased Consumable Duration, and many more.

But here’s where it gets dicey: if an Operator fails to extract and becomes MIA, you must either recover them with DMZ Cash or dismiss them. Because recovery costs rise with Trait investment, bringing back a high-level Operator becomes increasingly expensive. Recovered Operators keep their Traits but lose their gear, putting real weight behind every deployment.

All the Looting

The chase for loot is at the heart of every extraction shooter, and DMZ makes each haul matter beyond the current deployment. Returning to base with a pack full of supplies doesn’t just feel rewarding – it improves your chances of success the next time you enter Hajin.

Once you drop into a deployment, looting should be a top priority. Searching containers provides resources for combat, supports marked Operations, strengthens your position in Hajin, and offers a reliable way to earn DMZ XP and advance the FOB.



Everything you acquire – including the contents of your Bank and Stash – is shared across all Active Duty Operators. That makes specialized Scout Traits valuable beyond a single character: you can send a skilled looter after high-value items, then equip those resources on the Operator best suited to a different type of action during your subsequent deployment.

Once you understand the basics, use the 3D Printer at the FOB to learn where specific materials are most likely to appear. Those hints can guide your route through Hajin and help you focus on locations that contain the resources your next craft requires.

Extracting Like There’s No Tomorrow

Now it all leads to this: getting out alive. If you’ve ever played an extraction shooter, you know there’s nothing quite like calling in an extraction and waiting for the ride out while every nearby threat closes in. That final sprint to exfil is where all the planning, looting, and hard-won progress are put on the line. Now it’s DMZ’s turn to make your hands sweaty and get your heart rate up.

That’s what excites us the most: the stories you’ll tell about escaping Hajin against all odds, carrying out the loot you needed, and keeping a hard-earned Operator alive for one more deployment.



Taken together, these systems make every deployment feel like part of a larger journey – one where the gear you craft, the missions you complete, the Operators you develop, and the loot you recover all feed into the next high-stakes run. Find out whether you’ll have what it takes to survive Haijin when DMZ launches as part of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4.

If you’re searching for a versatile Strategist in Marvel Rivals, Cloak and Dagger are an excellent choice, but mastering their abilities and ultimate is essential to unlocking their full potential.

Cloak and Dagger offer a unique playstyle, allowing you to switch between two characters, each with distinct abilities. This dual-kit design sets them apart from other heroes in the game.

What makes them such a strong pick is their remarkable utility. Whether you’re healing allies, dealing damage, debuffing opponents, or creating quick escape opportunities, they bring a wealth of options for impactful plays and team-saving moments.

How to play Cloak and Dagger in Marvel Rivals

Playing Cloak and Dagger effectively requires mastering the balance between healing and damage output, as well as knowing the right time to switch between the two. If your team is struggling to stay alive or you’re the sole healer, focus on Dagger’s abilities. Her Dagger Storm creates a healing dome that restores health over time, making it invaluable during team fights.

For allies in hard-to-reach locations or when the team is grouped together, her Veil of Lightforce is a great tool. This ability sends out healing in a targeted direction and can be a lifesaver in critical moments. Combining these abilities can generate an impressive amount of healing, but keep in mind that their cooldowns are lengthy. Use them strategically, especially if your team already has the upper hand in a fight.

Charlie Intel

Whenever possible, stagger the use of these abilities unless your team is in a dire situation. If you’re solo healing, you’ll need to carefully assess when to use each skill. And with Marvel Rivals lacking role locks, you might occasionally find yourself in teams overloaded with DPS heroes. If you’re being targeted by flankers and have no protection, save the healing dome for yourself to sustain until you can switch to Cloak.

Cloak shines when dealing with flankers, thanks to his short-duration invulnerability. His Dark Teleportation lets him quickly escape danger or assist teammates under attack. This ability also expands your field of vision, helping you monitor the battlefield. Be cautious, though: if your teammates reload or attack while within the shroud effect, it will disappear.

Cloak’s Terror Cape further strengthens his anti-flanker capabilities. This ability limits an enemy’s vision while debuffing them and increasing the damage they take, making it easier for your team to eliminate them quickly.

When it comes to Cloak and Dagger’s ultimate, it’s best used to secure objectives. The path it leaves behind damages nearby enemies and heals allies, so positioning it on a contested point or payload can turn the tide of a fight. However, even though you can move while creating the path, you’re still vulnerable, so time its use carefully to avoid being taken down mid-ultimate.

Bevy, the free and open source Rust powered game framework, just released Bevy 0.20. The biggest new feature of this release is perhaps the rewritten real-time path tracing renderer Solari, although the release is packed with other features.

The highlights of Bevy 0.20 are:

• Solari and DLSS: Solari, Bevy’s realtime pathtraced renderer, is now faster, more accurate, supports more Bevy rendering features, and runs on macOS via Metal!
  
  
• BSN Syntax Improvements: BSN, Bevy’s new scene system, had some syntax changes that made it much easier to read and compose
  
  
• Ready Event: BSN scene entities now trigger an observable
  Code:

  Ready
  event when all of their children have been spawned.
  
  
• More UI Widgets: Bevy Feathers, Bevy’s opinionated editor-centric UI toolkit, now has Color Input, Scrollable List View, Dropdown Selection, and Lazy Menu widgets. The Number Input widget is now scrubbable / draggable, and we’ve added Headless Tab Widgets.
  
  
• WESL Shaders: Bevy has officially adopted the WESL shader language (a standardized extension of WGSL). WESL is already an improvement over Bevy’s old custom WGSL dialect, and we’ve been working with the WESL team to plan out the future of shader development in Bevy.
  
  
• Sprite Materials and Extended 2D Materials: It is now possible to create custom shader materials for Sprites, and 2D mesh materials can now be extended like they can in 3D.
  
  
• Pan Orbit Camera: Bevy now has a “pan orbit camera”, making it possible to navigate scenes in a CAD-like way.
