Bandai Namco has revealed a new Code Vein update, which is available now on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. The version 1.10 update introduces Halloween-themed content, difficulty reduction options, various bug fixes, and more.

Just in time the spooky season, Code Vein will receive some additions to its character creator, including Halloween-themed color palettes and face paints, as well as new accessories and hair functionality. The update will also change exploration and battle systems, giving you the option to lock the direction of the mini-map and turn off damage screen effects when near death.

Code Vein’s version 1.10 update also allows you to reduce the difficulty of New Game Plus. Elsewhere, the update addresses various bug issues, such as application errors and enemy movement.

In our Code Vein review, we said, “Code Vein adopts the Souls-like formula in its structure, presenting a familiar cycle of progression and basic combat similarities, and there are some interesting ideas here, too, built around the use of various Blood Codes and their distinct Gifts. You can see the fragments of a fantastic game hidden within these systems and its meaty combat feedback, but the mundanity of its enemies and the effect they have on nullifying the combat’s enjoyment prevent Code Vein from ever realizing its potential.”

Borderlands 3‘s Bloody Harvest event is live and its challenges have been revealed. Bloody Harvest releases alongside a new hotfix.

According to YouTuber Menthex, there are 15 challenges in total. Completing them allows you to unlock unique Halloween-themed rewards. Bloody Harvest is scheduled to end December 5, so you have until then to complete all 15 of its challenges. We’ve outlined all of them below.

Borderlands 3 Bloody Harvest Challenges

• An Eye for Quality Hecktoplasm – Kill 20 Loot Ghosts
• Chaotic Good Cleric – Kill 500 Ghosts in Mayhem Mode
• Charon’s Toll – Collect 50 pieces of Bloody Harvest loot
• Easy as Pumpkin Pie – Solve the Pumpkin Puzzle
• El Compeon Fantasmal – Kill Haunted El Dragon Jr
• Exorcist – Kill 150 Haunted Badasses
• Friends Don’t Die – Kill Haunted Demoskaggon
• Heckraiser – Loot a Bloody Harvest Legendary
• I am Rakkman! – Kill Haunted Rakkman
• Lawful Good Cleric – Kill 250 Ghosts
• My Boss has been Ghosting me all Week – Kill Captain Haunt
• Nate’s Hostile – Kill Haunted Borman Nates
• Pumpkin Spiced – Equip 3 pieces of Bloody Harvest loot at the same time
• Reap What You Sow, Bro – Kill Captain Haunt with a Bloody Harvest gun
• Snowball’s Chance in Heck – Kill 100 Haunted enemies with Cryo Damage in the Heck Hole

You can’t jump into Bloody Harvest until you’ve unlocked Sanctuary III, the hub area in Borderlands 3. Once you’ve reached Sanctuary III, talk to Maurice to begin the event. He’ll be the sentient fire-breathing dinosaur creature wandering around. Speaking with Maurice unlocks a quest to hunt down Hecktoplasm. Once you’ve acquired a sufficient amount, you’ll unlock a new area, Heck, where you can battle against the dead spirits of enemies you’ve long since killed. There’s a new boss in the area too, Captain Haunt.

At a glance, it looks like you’ll actually complete most of the Bloody Harvest challenges by completing the quests you get from Maurice. You’ll have to kill haunted enemies anyway to earn Hecktoplasm, and your journey to Heck will see you go up against even more haunted creatures and earn Bloody Harvest loot–such as a new legendary shotgun. The only ones you likely have to keep conscious track of while playing are killing Captain Haunt with a Bloody Harvest gun, solve the Pumpkin Puzzle, and kill 100 haunted enemies with Cryo damage in the Heck Hole.

Two highly anticipated games are releasing this week on PS4, Xbox One, and PC: first-person shooter Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and action RPG The Outer Worlds. If you’re interested in picking up either, you’ll find a great deal on both of them at Walmart stores starting tomorrow, October 25. According to deals site Cheap Ass Gamer, both games will be on sale for $49.94–that includes the PS4 version for The Outer Worlds and both PS4 and Xbox One versions for Modern Warfare.

These release-day discounts have become increasingly common at Walmart, even with Switch games like Fire Emblem: Three Houses and Astral Chain. Unfortunately, they generally don’t appear on Walmart.com, so you’ll have to drive to your local store to take advantage of it. What Walmart’s website is offering, however, is three hours of double XP with purchase of Modern Warfare standard edition and other select products like Doritos and Mountain Dew.

As another online alternative, Amazon is offering $10 credit for Prime members who purchase Call of Duty: Modern Warfare on PS4 or Xbox One. Sadly, we haven’t spotted any other PS4 or Xbox One discounts for The Outer Worlds, but please note this game is available for free on day one for Xbox Game Pass subscribers.

See Modern Warfare (PS4, Xbox One) at Amazon

If you’re looking to buy either game on PC, Green Man Gaming has some nice deals available now through tomorrow at 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET. Using coupon code COD10, you can get any edition of Modern Warfare for 10% off, including the standard edition for $54, Operator Edition for $63, and Operator Enhanced Edition for $90. Meanwhile, you can use coupon code TOW16 to drop the price on The Outer Worlds to $50.40.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is just hours away, but a last-minute patch is making a major change to the multiplayer options first. Infinity Ward announced that it’s releasing an update that will remove all night maps from rotation.

The studio didn’t state a reason for the change but did say that it will be adding night maps back in as a separate playlist. The update will also remove the minimap from Hardcore modes.

Feedback to day-one patch notes may shed some light on the reason, though. Several users complained that night maps in the beta just fundamentally played differently than others, due to the reliance on night vision and specialized aiming attachments. Several players suggested doing exactly what Infinity Ward just announced: making it a separate playlist entirely. The day one patch notes, much of it addressing beta feedback, can be found below.

If you’re eagerly anticipating the release of Modern Warfare, you can pre-load now and check out what time it will unlock in your territory. Plus you still have time to run to Walmart and pick up a double XP bonus before you start playing. Read our pre-order guide for everything you need to know to prepare for launch.
