Apex Legends is now available on Nintendo Switch, letting you experience the popular battle royale while you binge a streaming show or visit the restroom. Or both at once, we don’t judge. Obviously you’ll need a stable Internet connection for the multiplayer FPS, but other than that you can tote it around wherever you want.

You can find Apex Legends on the Nintendo eShop. The game is listed as 25 GB, but Nintendo suggests you have at least 30 GB available on your system to accommodate it. And like Apex on any other platform, it requires an EA account.

This is dropping right in the middle of Season 8: Mayhem, so to make sure Switch players aren’t left in the dust behind other platforms, EA has arranged a few boosts for the new platform. For one, you’ll get a 30-level head start for free, rocketing you to around the level most players have reached in the battle pass right from the start. In addition, you’ll get double XP for the first two weeks after launch, letting you keep up that momentum.

Meanwhile, today also marks the start of Apex Legends’ Chaos Theory Collection event. That town Takeover event will feature Caustic, and debut a Ring Fury Escalation Takeover mode. That event lasts through March 23.

Apex Legends is one of a handful of very successful free-to-play battle royale games, joining the ranks of Fortnite and Call of Duty: Warzone. It has its own unique world and lore, though, as a spin-off of Respawn’s Titanfall franchise. Respawn has been regularly adding new characters to the roster along with new seasonal events and modes, and it has promised the Switch version will have feature parity and cross-play with the other platforms.

Valheim is a game about survival, building a settlement, and finding various materials to build better weapons and armor so that you can find and defeat the enemies of Odin. If you want to shortcut that process, though, you can, thanks to a huge number of Valheim developer console commands that allow you to cheat. The commands are very easy to use if you know what they are. Lucky for you, we’ve got the complete list of console commands in this cheater’s guide, allowing you to bend the realm of Valheim to your will.

It’s worth noting that these codes won’t work in multiplayer servers for the most part–they’re single-player cheats only. That said, since Valheim allows you to take characters from one game world to another (along with all the stuff they’re carrying), it’s pretty easy to jump into a single-player game, spawn yourself a bunch of cool stuff, and then take it with you to a server with friends. If you’re looking to build some ridiculous Viking fortresses and bases, this is a handy way to do it without hours of mining materials and cutting down trees.

We’ve got lots more Valheim coverage, check out our complete Valheim armor guide, as well as our guide for finding Iron and crafting Iron gear and for finding Silver and crafting Wolf armor, for venturing through the Swamp biome, and for winning the Elder boss fight and defeating Moder, the frost dragon boss.

How To Enable Console Commands

It’s actually pretty easy to get access to Valheim’s full menu of cheats, and you might have already seen it. Hit F5 to pull up the dev console, where you can enter text commands. Using the command “help,” for instance, will give you a series of handy commands that let you see things like the current server ping.

To start cheating, you’ll need to enter a certain code that makes all the other codes available. In a single-player game of Valheim, hit F5 and enter “imacheater” into the console. (Worth noting from here on out: don’t include the quotation marks in your console commands.) When the console shows the response “Cheats: True,” you’ll know you’re ready to go.

A word of caution here: Messing around with console commands and cheat codes can potentially mess up your game world and your character, so it’s a good idea to back up your Valheim save files before you start messing around.

With cheats enabled, you can enter commands into the console and look for responses to tell if they’re working.

Debug Mode – Free Build

First, if you’re looking for the chance to just go nuts on building, use the command “debugmode“. That’ll remove a bunch of restrictions and allow you to just place assets straight into the world–in other words, it’s an unofficial Creative Mode for Valheim, where you can just build without the requirement of resources. First, hit “B” on your keyboard to toggle on the free-building ability, which means you won’t need resources or a Workbench to construct stuff. Then use a Hammer to access the building menu and go nuts.

If you want to build without the constraints of gravity, hit “Z” to toggle the ability to fly so you can reposition yourself as needed. You can fly up with the spacebar and fly down with the ctrl key.

And if any residents of Valheim are giving you guff while you’re working, you can hit “K” to automatically murder all enemies in your vicinity.

Character Cheat Codes

There are a whole host of different types of console commands at your fingertips in Valheim. This list directly affects your character and their skills.

Enter the code on the left into the dev console with cheats enabled to access each effect. Look for a response message, like “God: True,” to know you’ve successfully turned on the cheat.

• god – Toggles on and off “god” mode, which makes you invincible to damage.
• ghost – Toggles on and off “ghost” mode, which makes it so you don’t trigger enemy aggression.
• puke – Resets your hunger meter, including getting rid of any food you’ve eaten, while also giving you the default values for health and stamina.
• resetcharacter – Resets all your character information (so be careful with this one).
• raiseskill (skill) (level value) – Allows you to set a level for any skill. You’ll need to define the skill name and the level you want. So to raise your Running skill to 100, you would type “raiseskill running 100”.
• resetskill (skill) – Resets a skill to zero. Type the name of the skill after the command: “resetskill running”.

Gameplay Cheat Codes

The cheat codes aimed at gameplay let you mess around with enemies and make other adjustments to the game world.

• killall – Instantly kills any enemies that are near your character.
• tame – Instantly tames any enemies that are near your character.
• pos – Shows your character’s coordinates in the world.
• goto (number) (number) – Enter coordinates after the command to teleport your character to that location.
• skiptime (number of seconds) – Advances time by however many seconds you set.
• sleep – Advances time one day forward.
• tod (number) – Sets a time of day using a number between 0 and 1, where 1 represents a completed day cycle. Both 0 and 1 set the time to midnight; 0.5 is halfway between them, so it’s noon, 0.3 is morning, 0.8 is afternoon, and so on. A value of -1 reverts to the default time of day.
• player (number) – Changes the difficulty of the game world as though more players were active within it, depending on the number you set.
• event (event name) – Starts a story event where you are based on which event you name. Use this list of events and their command console names in the Valheim wiki.
• randomevent – Starts a story event at random.
• stopevent – Stops the current story event.
• exploremap – Fully reveals the world map, as though you’d explored everywhere.
• resetmap – Fully hides the world map.
• freefly – Activates a free camera, allowing you to move around the game world free of your character, who stays behind. This is great for taking photos in Valheim; type “freefly” in the console again to turn the free camera off and return to your character.
• wind (angle number) (intensity number) – Allows you to change the wind’s direction and intensity. The two inputs after the “wind” command must be numbers. Think of “angle” as degrees of a circle, with 0 being straight north, 90 being straight east, 180 being straight south, and 270 being straight west. Intensity is a number between 0 and 1, where 0 is no wind and 1 is a windstorm–so 0.2 is a breeze, 0.5 is a gust, and 0.8 is a gale.
• resetwind – sets the wind back to wherever it was before you started messing with it.

Item Spawns

You can also use console commands to just generate any item, creature, material, or piece of gear you want out of thin air. This is where the cheating gets really intense, since you can spawn items in a single-player game and hold them in your character’s inventory to take them into multiplayer servers. If you’re looking to make some huge buildings in a multiplayer server, this can seriously speed up that process. Then again, you can use these commands to completely circumvent Valheim’s tech tree-climbing gameplay, so be warned you might ruin the experience for yourself if you go too wild here.

This is a massive list that spawns everything from Raspberries to Valheim’s five bosses. Players on Reddit have worked diligently to document all the commands, so huge thanks to Redditor Demogrim and many others for their hard work. We’ve verified a huge number of the items on this list, but note that a few item names in the console commands are different than the in-game names, which can make them confusing. It also appears that there are items on this list that might not be in the normal game, or haven’t been added yet, so spawn things at your own risk.

To spawn an item, make sure cheats are enabled and then just type “spawn” then the name of the item, the number you want to spawn, and the level of the item if applicable: “spawn (item name) (quantity) (level)”. So to spawn 30 raspberries, type “spawn Raspberry 30“. Note also that these names are case-sensitive.

If you spawn a bunch of non-enemy items, you can clear them all by typing “removeall” into the console. Don’t forget “killall” if you happen to fill an area with too many creatures and need them removed as well.

Content Warning: use of hate speech, antisemitism, explicit language.

Miami Heat center Meyers Leonard is under fire for using an antisemitic slur while streaming Call of Duty: Warzone on Twitch earlier this week, according to Defector.

Leonard, who was streaming Warzone with at least one other person, was complaining about a player trying to snipe him. After a brief moment of accosting that playing for trying to snipe him, Leonard called them a “k*** b****.” The person Leonard is playing with just laughed nervously after he said it. You can see the incident in the uncensored video clip below

Leonard said the slur on a Monday stream, but nothing materialized. During a subsequent Warzone stream, viewers in the chat questioned his use of the word before the chat devolved into an “emote-only mode.” He then got a call from his wife and cut the stream short.

According to a statement provided to The Alethetic reporter Shams Charania, the NBA “just became aware” of Leonard’s language. A spokesperson said it condemns all hate speech.

“We just became aware of the video and are in the process of gathering more information,” an NBA spokesperson said. “The NBA unequivocally condemns all forms of hate speech.”

Despite a lack of recent updates on the game, Disco Elysium: The Final Cut will still release sometime in March. Disco Elysium developer ZA/UM announced The Final Cut back at The Game Awards 2020 last December, a “director’s cut”-style version of the game that would extend and expand the acclaimed RPG. It’ll also add full voice acting. Though Disco Elysium: The Final Cut was said to release for PS4, PS5, Stadia, and PC in March 2021, some fans have grown concerned that the game might not meet the deadline.

However, according to a recent Discord communication by a member of the game’s development team, The Final Cut is releasing in March “for sure.” ZA/UM’s head of publishing Mikk Metsniit said that the team’s radio silence is due to the coordination required to make sure that the game launches correctly on all four platforms. Metsniit’s public statement came in part due to a “lot of speculation [being] thrown about.”

Disco Elysium is a highly literary take on the CRPG genre inspired by genre classics like Planescape: Torment as well as other works, like Émile Zola’s seminal novel Germinal. As part of the original announcement, ZA/UM said Disco Elysium: The Final Cut will come to Xbox Series X and Nintendo Switch later this summer. The Final Cut will be a free upgrade to existing owners of the original Disco Elysium. This will be the first time that the game will be available on consoles. Disco Elysium is one of the most critically-acclaimed games of the late 2010’s, and GameSpot previously named it one of the 10 best games of 2019.

The fourth boss you’ll take on in Valheim is Moder, the frost dragon queen of the Mountain biome. Moder is a huge enemy that fights on the ground and can take to the skies, but the terrain on which you face the boss can give you an advantage. It’s possible to defeat Moder all by yourself if you bring the right gear and carefully manage the fight. Here’s everything you need to know to beat Moder.

To take on Moder, you’ll first need to clear the way to the Mountain biome by taking down Eikthyr in the Meadow, The Elder in the Black Forest, and Bonemass in the Swamp. You’ll also need the ability to withstand the cold, so it’s highly recommended that you mine and craft some Wolf armor ahead of this battle–at least the Wolf Cuirass or the Wolf Cape, which will give you automatic Frost resistance. We’ve outlined exactly what gear you should have below, which will give you the best chance of defeating Moder even if you can’t bring a squad of other Vikings to help you.

We’ve got lots more Valheim coverage, check out our complete Valheim armor guide, as well as our guide for finding Iron and crafting Iron gear and for finding Silver and crafting Wolf armor, for venturing through the Swamp biome, and for taking down the Elder boss.

How To Find Moder

Moder is located in the Mountain biome, but you won’t find it just waiting for you when you climb up just any cliffs. Like the other bosses, you’ll need to summon Moder with a sacrifice at a specific location–but first, you need to get that location marked on your map. You can get Moder’s location from special rune stones you’ll find in the Mountain biome, which are usually secreted in ruins around the area. Look for stone towers and decrepit fortifications

Interacting with the rune stones will mark Moder’s altar for you, where you can summon the boss. You’ll need to sacrifice three Dragon Eggs at the altar to bring the dragon into your game world to defeat it. These are best sourced from around Moder’s altar, especially if Moder is located on a different mountain from the one you’re currently exploring. Dragon Eggs are very heavy (they weigh about 200 pounds each), and like metal, they can’t be teleported. It’s best to just find some near the altar and drag them up to the boss than to try to bring them from farther away.

What You’ll Need To Fight Moder

Armor: Wolf Armor (Upgraded If Possible)

A great deal of the fight against Moder is about withstanding its attacks. To do that, you’ll need to be able to block and absorb a fair amount of damage. First and foremost, you could outfit yourself completely with Wolf armor so that even if you take a few hits from Moder, you won’t be killed right away. Check out our Wolf armor guide to see what you need and how to make it. If you’ve got the resources, it’s worth it to upgrade your Wolf armor to at least Level 2–this isn’t essential, but if you’re soloing the boss, you’ll want all the damage resistance you can get.

Ranged Weapons: Draugr Fang Bow, Poison Arrows

Because Moder can fly, a lot of this fight will rely on your bow. You’ll want the best bow you can get, which at this point is the Draugr Fang. Craft it with 20 Silver, 2 Deer Hides, 10 Ancient Bark, 5 Guck. The last two items you can source from the Swamp biome; cut down a couple of Ancient Trees and you’ll have the bark you need, and cut Guck from the big green pustules stuck to Swamp trees. If you can afford to upgrade the bow, do so, since you’ll be fighting Moder for a while and your Draugr Fang’s durability is likely to become an issue. Moder is weak to fire, so Fire arrows are a good bet. We found Poison arrows were also very effective, maybe even more so than Fire arrows. Soloing the boss, we needed around 170 Poison arrows, so make sure you have a lot.

Melee Weapons: Silver Sword, Silver Shield

Moder won’t always be in the air; the dragon also likes to land near you to hit you with melee attacks. This is actually good news, since fighting up close allows you to give your bow a break and you’ll do more damage with melee strikes than with arrows. Bring your favorite, strongest weapon; we recommend the Silver Sword since it should be among the strongest you can craft at this point.

More important than the sword, however, is your shield. Moder does two different melee attacks on the ground, but the damage you’ll take against either is negligible if you can block it with a good shield. The Silver Shield absorbs most of what Moder dishes out, especially if you can upgrade it ahead of the fight, so you should absolutely craft one. Coupled with Silver armor and the Bonemass ability it makes fighting the boss on the ground a breeze.

Food

You’re going to need as much as health as you can get in this fight, but another major consideration is stamina regeneration. The fight with Moder takes place on rough Mountain terrain and you’ll need stamina to be able to cross it and reposition yourself, block Moder’s big attacks, and get your own swings in. You can get high stamina through potions and foods, but your best bet is to get a high Rested bonus before starting the fight.

In general, aim for high-health, long duration foods–if you can source it, Lox Meat is a great for this fight, as are other long-lasting foods like Sausages. We did the fight with Lox Meat, Cooked Meat, Sausages, and Queen’s Jam; you can also get a useful stamina boost out of Carrot Soup.

It’s also a good idea to make some Healing Mead for emergencies. Tasty Mead can also be useful if you’re desperate for stamina, but it halves your health regeneration and therefore should be used very sparingly. stamina Meads are good if you can get them as well, if you find you’re having trouble.

Ability: Bonemass

Since you’ve beaten Bonemass, keep its ability at the ready for fighting Moder. It’ll decrease the damage you take from Moder’s melee attacks, giving you the incentive to get in close. The ability will also help protect you from other enemies if they happen to show up during the fight, which can be a big problem.

Get Your Rested Bonus

It’s hard to overstate how good the Rested bonus is in boss fights. It increases your health and stamina recharge rate significantly, so it’s worth sleeping or sitting by a fire before getting into this fight. While food and mead are good for keeping you alive, the Rested bonus is going to do the most work in keeping you in this fight, and you run the risk of getting yourself killed by unforeseen consequences (like wolves joining the battle) if you can’t recharge stamina fast enough to deal with them.

How To Beat Moder – Boss Fight Strategies

Once you’re geared up, you should be ready to take on the boss. It’s a good idea to have a portal near the battlefield (but not too close) that’ll allow you to escape if you’re in trouble or that can get you to a Forge so you can repair your equipment. It’s very likely that you’ll run down the durability on your bow, so don’t be afraid to duck out of the fight for a second to fix up your stuff. If you can put the portal downhill from Moder’s altar, all the better–you don’t want to be struggling to run up a steep slope while the boss is peppering with ice crystals.

In The Air

Moder moves around the battlefield in two different ways: flying and crawling. When the boss flies, it’s highly mobile and will move around like a drake, circling you before hovering overhead to breathe ice crystals on you from a distance. You can run to avoid the ice crystals (and you should avoid them), but it can be difficult to keep your stamina up if you’re sprinting all over the battlefield. A better option is to take cover behind rocks and structures. This gets risky, though, as Moder does massive damage to rock and buildings, so any cover you hide behind probably won’t last for long.

There’s a caveat to that, however. We were lucky enough to find one of Valheim’s free-standing rune stones near Moder’s altar. These stones, which you can read for lore and tips, can’t be destroyed, making them a perfect cover. We actually were able to avoid pretty much all damage from Moder’s frost breath by just standing close to the runestone and keeping it between us and the boss.

In any event, try to find good places to stand to avoid the incoming frost breath while you hit Moder with your poison arrows. You’re going to want to prioritize avoiding getting hit with the crystals, as they’ll slow you down significantly if they hit you, leaving you open to additional punishment from the boss. The situation can cascade out of control in a hurry, so survey the battlefield ahead of time and make note of where you’ll want to go to avoid getting blasted by projectiles.

On The Ground

When it’s not flying, Moder will drop to the ground and fight you close up. The boss can crawl around on the mountain slopes, but it won’t move very fast or go very far, waiting instead for you to come within range of its attacks.

Moder has a frost breath attack it’ll use when it’s grounded, which comes out as a constant jet straight in front of it, rather than a bombardment of crystals. When it rears up to breathe frost at you, strafe sideways past it to avoid getting hit. Once you’ve closed the range, Moder will give up trying to freeze you and just swing at you with its wings, or try to take a bite out of you. Both these attacks can be blocked with your shield, although you’ll probably get pushed back a fair distance. You’ll avoid damage almost completely if you block, though, allowing you to stay in close on the boss and hack away with your sword with little or no risk.

If you’re not equipped for a close-range fight, you can do just as well hanging back and firing away with your bow, provided you have the arrows and either a backup bow or the ability to repair it when it breaks. This might even be the safer strategy, as Moder will often just hang out on the ground and not really do anything if you stay out of its range. That’ll give you the opportunity to just lay into it with arrows at your leisure.

Beware Of Wolves

The biggest threat during this boss fight might not be the boss itself, but the other enemies that make the mountains their home. Wolves in particular are extremely deadly in Valheim because they’re very strong and very fast. Fighting a wolf can run down your stamina in a hurry, leaving you open to attack. Wolves bite so fast that they can rip you apart before you can recharge enough to fight them off. If you see or hear any wolves, it’s best to disengage from Moder and try to take the wolves out as quickly as possible. If you can get them with your bow at range, all the better, but prioritize them in all cases.

Run If You Have To

You can’t go wrong by setting up for a boss fight like this one by placing a portal relatively close to the boss’s altar. If things get bad, just run for it. You can make it through the portal to return to your base and use that opportunity to heal up, repair your gear, or even just sit by a fire for a second and restore your Rested bonus.

While bosses heal over time (or at least Bonemass does), don’t be afraid of leaving Moder in the middle of the fight. The boss will still be waiting for you when you return, and if you’re not gone for very long, it’ll still be as hurt as when you left it. When trying to solo the boss fight, don’t be afraid to cut and run and then return when you’re a little better prepared.

What You Get For Beating Moder

When the boss is finally defeated, you’ll get a few key new items. First, you’ll collect the Moder Trophy, which you can take back to the altar where you first started in Valheim to claim a new power. Moder’s ability makes it so you have a tailwind as long as it’s active while you’re sailing, which can make exploration out on the high seas much easier to handle.

You’ll also claim 10 Dragon Tears from Moder, which you can use to create a new crafting station called the Artisan Table. With it, you’ll be able to create three new crafting stations that let you process materials you get from the Plains biome, including Dark Metal, which you’ll use to make your next tier of armor and weapons.
