Arc Raiders’ latest update rightfully nerfs the Venator, buffs the drop rates of Aphelion blueprints, and brings crucial overhauls to your rubber duck showcase

Until now, most Arc Raiders patch notes have been little more than bug fixes and a few crafting balance changes. Welcome tweaks, of course, but no real swings at specific weapons and items.And that's not completely unwarranted, as I'd say most guns are pretty well-balanced right now. But while everyone's been singing the praises of the Anvil as a weapon that shoots far above its weight, the Venator has been the sleeper pick all along for PvP. Firing two shots at once, this rare pistol was capable of dropping other players blazingly fast. It was only a matter of time until the reaper came knocking, and that day is today with the 1.3.0 patch notes.In short, the Venator has had its incrementally upgraded fire rate reduced from 22/44/60% to 13/26/40%, and its weight from 2kg to 5kg.

Daniel Craig doesn’t show up until 40 minutes into Wake Up Dead Man, and there’s a legit reason why Rian Johnson wrote it that way – even if he was a little scared to do so

Despite being the dapperly-dressed glue that holds the Knives Out movies together, Daniel Craig's Benoit Blanc doesn't show up in upcoming sequel Wake Up Dead Man until 40 minutes in – and if you're a bit gutted by that news, writer-director Rian Johnson suggests you take it up with one of history's most iconic whodunnit writers."It's [got] a much more traditional murder mystery structure than the first two. I mean, this is kind of how most of Agatha Christie's books work," Johnson explains to GamesRadar+ in the run-up to the Netflix film's limited theatrical release. "In the first act, you meet all the suspects, then the murder happens, and then the detective shows up. So this was kind of going back to basics; I thought it could be interesting to do that."But, also, because the theme of t...
