News - Brock Lesnar And Vince McMahon Aren't Playable In WWE 2K24--But Aren't Gone E

WWE 2K24 launches in just a few weeks, as early as March 5 for some players, but the wrestling company's real-life legal troubles have led to questions surrounding the game. CEO Vince McMahon was named in a lawsuit filed by a former WWE employee over allegations of sexual misconduct, with subsequent reporting also implicating in-ring talent Brock Lesnar. The question of the two individuals being playable characters in WWE 2K24 had become a burning one. And while they won't be part of the main roster, they are not entirely absent from the game.

2K shared the official WWE 2K24 roster earlier today, and after much speculation, confirmed that McMahon and Lesnar won't be in the game's lineup of 200+ playable characters. However, speaking with a source familiar with the game's development, GameSpot has learned further details about their presence.

"We are always in lockstep with the WWE on how our game reflects what's happening in the WWE universe," the source explained to GameSpot. "Certain personalities play a role in the historical 2K Showcase and in the narrative-driven MyRise experience, but are not available on the playable roster."

News - How To Salvage Gear In Lost Epoch

There is no shortage of loot in Last Epoch, with dozens of items dropping from enemies all across the various regions of the map. Your inventory will likely be flushed with loot by the time you finish the tutorial, so you need to know everything you're able to do with all of the items you're acquiring.

You can choose to sell the loot at an Armorer's Shop, which is located in every major settlement in Last Epoch, wear the items on your character, or drop them on the ground. There's also a hidden fourth option, however, which is to salvage the item and receive crafting materials, affixes, and more. To see how you can salvage your items in Last Epoch, take a look at the guide below.

Salvage items in Last Epoch

Unlike other ARPGs, there is no distinct option to salvage specific items in your inventory. Instead, you have to make your way to the Forge (anvil icon on your map) or simply press "F." The Forge is the only place you can salvage gear in Last Epoch.

News - Last Epoch Classes: What's The Best Class To Pick?

There ae several different classes to choose from when you make a character in Last Epoch, and it can be overwhelming to pick one at first. This goes double for any beginners out there, as you likely have no idea what classes are the easiest to master. If you're looking for some help in that area, you can check out the guide below to see a list of every class in Last Epoch and my picks for the best overall starting classes.

All classes in Last Epoch

Before you decide on a class, you might be curious to see a list of every available one in the game:

• Primalist
• Mage
• Rogue
• Acolyte
• Sentinel

Each class also has three different Masteries, which give you access to unique skills and can completely change your playstyle depending on which one you pick. Be careful, though, as you're not allowed to change your Mastery once you select it in Last Epoch.

News - Call Of Duty Developer Warns Of Spike In Cheating Reports, Bans

Cheating in Call of Duty has always been a risky business, but it's gotten especially fraught in late February. A recent update from Activision's official CoD X account said that the game's anti-cheat team have been monitoring a spike in cheating within the community, which resulted in over 6,000 accounts being banned in a four-day span.

According to the post, the developers are currently testing additional security updates, but the team already pushed one that disabled game code that cheaters were using to gain illegal advantages, like super speed. The update also says that some cheat developers claimed that Ricochet--Call of Duty's anti-cheat system--was offline over the weekend, but Activision clarified that only a "single telemetry system" had been temporarily taken offline. The over 6,000 suspended accounts occurred from February 16 to February 20.

Call of Duty's developers have deployed a number of creative ways of dealing with cheaters in the past. Earlier in 2024, the official CoD X account said that Ricochet will simply close the game client if it detects aim assist cheats like aimbots. Prior to that, Activision indicated that the team behind CoD is experimenting with machine learning tools to better detect cheaters. The developer also introduced a new anti-cheat measure to Warzone called "splat," where cheaters lose their parachutes and automatically crash to the ground during the battle royale mode's opening stages.
