XDefiant is a thrilling first-person competitive shooter that provides plenty of strategy and deadly shootouts. While you’re out there on the battlefield, your teammates will (hopefully) be giving it their all just like you. As such, there’s no better way to show your support than to give them a big high five for everything they’ve done.
Whether you’re after the “High-Fivist” trophy/achievement for giving 20 high fives, or you’re just looking to give your teammates some positive reinforcement, here’s how to give high fives in XDefiant.
So, we’ve covered how giving a high five is a great way to show appreciation to a teammate for a job well done, but what if we told you that high fives in XDefiant aren’t actually, well, high fives? Strangely enough, you won’t be actually handing out high fives, but rather thumbs-up sthat are, for whatever reason, called “high fives.”
To give a high five, wait until the end of a match when all of your teammates are standing beside each other. Each teammate will have some type of achievement from the match under their names, so pick the person you think is deserving of an award and simply click on them.
When you click on your teammate, they’ll receive a thumbs-up symbol above their achievement from the match, and they’ll also receive a tiny bit of XP as a reward. Note that you can only give a high five (let’s be real: a thumbs-up) to one teammate per match, so always pick the one you think is most deserving!
Acer’s Predator Atlas 8 finally has a US release date and price, several months after the company first showed off the handheld in May. The highlight is the Intel Arc G3 Extreme chip inside, which has been adopted by only a couple of other consoles besides the Atlas 8. This version will go on sale exclusively at Best Buy on November 1 for $1,299.99.
Acer originally said the Atlas 8 would arrive in North America in October, but left pricing open at the time. The launch came amid the ongoing DRAM crunch, which has made memory more expensive across the PC industry and complicated pricing for hardware makers.
Gaming laptops and I have a complicated relationship. One of my first gaming rigs was an Acer Predator that was already outdated when I bought it. I was a broke college kid, and that was the best I could afford. So trying out high-end gaming laptops is always fun. But ASUS' ROG Zephyrus G14 is a lot more than a laptop that can run AAA games. It is portable, so you're not lugging around a 2.5kg machine everywhere you go. It is built well, none of that plastic chassis, and can even function as a normal laptop outside of just gaming.
Google Play is borrowing one of the Nintendo Switch’s most useful little tricks. A new Sidekick tool called Playbacks captures a short clip after something interesting has already happened, sparing players from running a screen recorder throughout an entire game.
Playbacks is part of Google Play Store v53.8 and keeps saved clips on the phone. Google first announced it earlier this month, but the new Play Store update marks its arrival for players. Anyone who has watched a perfect win vanish because the record button came too late already understands the appeal.
