Call of Duty: Modern Warfare‘s latest update has been pushed back. The substantial patch was scheduled to go live today and introduces a new Operator, map, and more, but it will now release “in the coming days.”

Infinity Ward provided no explanation for why the update has been delayed, nor did the studio clarify exactly when it will go live on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. However, Infinity Ward did say that more details regarding “updates on release timing” will arrive sometime soon.

When it finally launches, the Modern Warfare patch comes with Talon, a brand-new Operator that’s playable in both the game’s traditional multiplayer and standalone battle royale experience Warzone. He brings with him a dog companion named Indiana, an item in Talon’s toolkit that gives him access to spicy finishing moves.

The update will also introduce the new multiplayer map Khandor Hideout. The Syrkistan location is a medium-sized map featuring long sightlines and compact interior spaces perfect for snipers, shotguns, and SMGs.

In other Call of Duty news, Infinity Ward is planning to add four new weapons to Warzone soon–though it’s unclear if they will make it to Modern Warfare. Further, Warzone has some new DLC that supports military veterans “in these difficult times [where] veterans need more help with employment than ever.”

Pokemon Go developer Niantic has been making numerous adjustments to the popular AR game as a result of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. In addition to canceling a handful of events that were planned to take place this month (including this week’s Lugia Raid event), the studio has implemented a variety of tweaks to make it easier to play the game from home, including a handy new feature that will help you keep track of what’s happening in the title.

Niantic is introducing a Today View tab in Pokemon Go. This tab will be located in the same menu as your Field Research and Special Research tasks, and it will make it easier to keep track of what’s currently going on in the game. Among other things, Today View will display ongoing and upcoming in-game events, as well as personal stats, such as your daily streaks and what Pokemon you currently have defending Gyms.

Niantic hasn’t announced when the Today View tab will go live in Pokemon Go, but it teases that it will be rolled out “soon.” In the meantime, you can read more details about the upcoming feature on the official Pokemon Go website.

In another attempt to make Pokemon Go easier to play from home, the game is now offering extra bonuses indefinitely. For the time being, you’ll earn triple the normal amount of Stardust and XP for the first Pokemon you catch each day. The gift limit has also been increased; you can now open up to 30 gifts each day and carry up to 20 of them in your inventory. Finally, Niantic is offering a new, 1 PokeCoin bundle in Pokemon Go’s in-game store every day.

As previously mentioned, Lugia was scheduled to return to Raid Battles this week, but Niantic canceled that event. Instead, players will continue to be able to catch Cobalion as a Go Battle League reward until March 31. The Legendary Pokemon Landorus is slated to make its debut in Pokemon Go that same day, but it’s currently unclear if the ongoing coronavirus situation will affect those plans as well.

Mission 12 Walkthrough — Urdak

Walk forward and take a right once you emerge outside. Stand on the green pressure pad, and a glyph will appear in front of you. Use this to launch yourself over to the next platform, then take a left and do so again. There’s another pressure pad platforming sequence here, only now you’ve got to do some additional pole swinging and wall-climbing to progress forward.

Once you’ve traversed past this area, head inside and shoot a button to disable the lasers and pass through. Carry on, and you’ll eventually reach a cutscene introducing (Yes, even this late into the game) a new fodder enemy type called the Makyr Drone. They’re more of a pain to deal with than the other fodder enemies, however, mainly because their bodies are armored. Use the Heavy Cannon’s Precision Bolt to dispatch them with a headshot, which also results in an explosion of ammo and health you can pick up. Take care of the Makyr Drones and the rest of the enemies in this arena, then use the climbable walls to reach the exit.

Proceed through the vent and traverse to the next area. Kill the enemies that show up, then melee the block behind one of the doors and climb up so you can reach and Dash into the statue. Use the platform that appears to swing on the nearby pole and make your way to the next vent. There’s a Buff Totem in the area when you exit, so drop down to the right, head up the stairs and take a left to find and destroy it. Defeat the rest of the enemies in the area, and use the pole nearest to the exit to swing up to the higher platform and hit the switch to disable the lasers.

Make your way through the facility until you reemerge outside. Launch yourself over to the next platform and take care of the enemies waiting for you here, including another Marauder. With everything dead, follow the waypoint to activate the portal and align the first teleporter ring. Head back outside and use the launchpad to reach the next platform where you’ll have to contend with more Demons. There’s an Archvile here, so make sure to take care of it first. Use the next launchpad directly in front of you and make your way into the next building.

Defeat the enemies inside, hit the switch to open the door, then head through and kill the rest of the enemies in the next combat arena. From here, follow the waypoint through the exit and use the walls suspended in mid-air to reach the next area. Hit the next button to align the second teleporter ring. Exit the room and take the elevator up, then go back outside and launch yourself back to where you were before. Now use the other launchpad, and you’ll land in a combat arena with a Buff Totem. Quickly take a left and carry on. You’ll find the Totem underneath an overpass. Once that’s dealt with, defeat the rest of the enemies.

Head inside the now-open door and ride the elevator up to find the third and final button to align another teleporter ring. Exit the room and travel back to the central platform. Follow the waypoint through the door and make your way around until you come to a set of lasers and some purple water. Dive into the water and break through the wall directly underneath you. This will lower the water level, allowing you to climb up and hit the switch to disable the lasers. Step into the elevator and prepare to fight the next boss.

Boss Fight – Khan Maykr

The fight against Khan Makyr feels like a battle of attrition due to her six health bars. The Ballista should be your weapon of choice here since it’s accurate and only takes five shots to drain one of her health bars. When this happens, she’ll flash green and enter a vulnerable state, allowing you to use the Super Shotgun’s Meat Hook to propel yourself towards her and deal damage with a Blood Punch.

Repeat this strategy throughout the fight, using the Heavy Cannon’s Precision Bolt to defeat the Makyr Drones that swarm in to replenish your health and ammo. Khan Makyr will fire a few projectiles in a row that you can avoid by Dashing to the side. She’ll also occasionally summon a fiery death ray from the skies that you’ll want to Dash as far away from as possible. Her other attack douses the floor in a damaging liquid, so you need to avoid those areas when it happens. Once she’s defeated, it’s time to head back to Earth.

Borderlands 3 is preparing for another level cap increase to come alongside the release of Guns, Love, and Tentacles. When the update hits on March 26 you can raise your Vault Hunter’s max level to 57, an increase of four more points since it was last raised in February. And this particular increase could have a big impact on gameplay.

As noted on the Borderlands blog, the new level cap will allow you to select two capstone skills rather than the standard one. Those skills are among the most powerful in a Vault Hunter’s arsenal, so being able to double-up opens a whole new array of possibilities. Gearbox says it anticipates this to come with a “huge surge of power for endgame players” and the ability to experiment with wild new build types.

The blog also reiterated that the game is on track to follow its spring 2020 roadmap, which includes Mayhem 2.0 in April. That will give Mayhem Mode a dedicated tab in your Echo Device so you can adjust it on the fly. There will be 10 Mayhem levels and 25 modifiers, and the higher your Mayhem level, the better loot will drop.

That will come alongside the free Revenge of the Cartels event in April, which includes a new Mansion area. The occupants of the Mansion will change based on which of the three gangs currently runs the place, and each gang offers unique loot and Anointed parts. Plus you can earn some retro-inspired Revenge of the Cartels gear during the six-week event.

Guns, Love, and Tentacles focuses on the wedding of Wainwright and Hammerlock, a couple of fan-favorite lovebirds from the campaign. Naturally, their nuptials don’t seem to go off without a hitch. Check out an extended gameplay session from the upcoming DLC for more.

You can find a walkthrough below detailing how to get past Doom Eternal‘s eleventh mission: Nekravol Part II. Finish this one, and you’ll be on track to the final boss fights!

Mission 11 Walkthrough — Nekravol Part II

Follow the path forward and take care of the enemies on the bridge. With all of them defeated, find the lantern with a green flame. From here, you can jump to the climbable wall on the platform across from the bridge. Climb up, avoid the flames, and leap to the next platform to do the same. Then use the Dash Refill to reach an opening into the building.

There are a few enemies in the next area, but nothing too threatening. Clear the area and continue following the waypoint until you reach a cutscene. Once it ends, a swarm of enemies will spawn in. You’ll have to contend with a Baron of Hell and a Doom Hunter, among others, but there is a yellow Overdrive power-up you can grab on one of the upper platforms. This greatly enhances the speed with which you can move and shoot, letting you tear through enemies for a short while. After everything’s dead, follow the waypoint through the exit and drop down the hole and into another cutscene.

Multiple enemies spawn into this combat arena, but there is some BFG-9000 ammo underneath the altar. You’ll want to use this to damage the Archvile that eventually appears, making sure to get behind its shield. Focus all of your attack on the Archvile until it’s dead, then get to work finishing off the stragglers. At this point, another Marauder will show up, so use the same tactic as before, using the Zombies that show up to replenish your health and ammo. With the Marauder killed, jump over to the waypoint and exit this room.

You now need to make your way up by jumping between some spinning platforms. Aim for the green lights to avoid the spikes, then take the elevator once you’ve reached the top. Jump over the large chasm at the top and climb up the wall to reach the next level. Go up with the jump pad, climb the wall, and leap over the chasm again. Now you need to get on top of the platform moving up and down in the next room and melee one of the breakable walls to get through. There’s a decent amount of enemies in this small space, including a couple of Cyber Mancubus, so use the jump pads on either side of the corridor to create some space.

Once everything’s dead, use a jump pad to reach one of the upper platforms and break through the wall to reveal some poles you can use to swing up higher. There are gold-plated walls you can latch onto here, so use them to reach the top. There are a few enemies to take care of, and you’ll also need to destroy the eyes that open on the middle structure. Taking out two will open up the path forward, so head through and activate the elevator.

The final combat arena in this mission is relatively large. As soon as you emerge, you’ll see a Tyrant standing right in front of you. The Tyrant may be big, but it’s very slow as a result, so you can move to the left or right and deal with the other enemies without it bothering you. Shoot the Tyrant whenever you can, and it’ll eventually fall after enough damage. Once this area is cleared out, stand on the pressure pad, and destroy the two chains. Then you need to jump into the Argent Stream to complete the mission.

Ghost Recon Breakpoint was not only a disappointment critically, but a commercial one for Ubisoft. But its developer isn’t calling it quits yet, and today’s big title update is proof of that. Breakpoint’s new immersive mode and Episode 2 of its ongoing DLC content are now live. To mark the occasion, Breakpoint will be free to play from March 26 to March 29 on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

Deep State, the latest adventure to be added to Breakpoint, has Splinter Cell protagonist Sam Fisher link up with the ghosts again, this time to help track and take down a new threat on the island of Auroa. Sam Fisher previously crossed-over with this franchise in Ghost Recon: Wildlands, despite not having his own game to star in for many years.

The title update also includes the long-awaited Ghost Experience, after it was delayed at the last minute the last time out by Ubisoft. This new gameplay toolset lets you customize your Breakpoint experience to your taste, letting you toggle settings like regenerating health, HUD elements, and more. You can read the full patch notes for more information.

If that sounds great to you but you’re still on the fence about committing to Breakpoint, Ubisoft is here to entice you with a free weekend starting this Thursday. You’ll get access to the full game (without this latest adventure, unfortunately) and be able to mess around with the new difficulty and gameplay settings to see if Ubisoft has whipped Breakpoint into a shape that is appealing. To play on console, you’ll need PlayStation Plus or Xbox Live Gold. If you want to keep playing after this weekend, the game will be up to 70% off on all platforms, and your progress from the free weekend will transfer over. You can find more information on the Breakpoint free weekend at Ubisoft.

At launch, the game earned a 4/10 in GameSpot’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint review, with critic Richard Wakeling writing, “Ghost Recon’s identity as a tactical shooter has evaporated and been replaced by a confused patchwork of elements and mechanics from other, better games. Its defining characteristic boils down to just how generic and stale the whole thing is.”
