Destiny 2: How To Get Into Banshee’s Workshop For Make Bows, Not War Quest

Destiny 2‘s Season of the Undying rolls on with more fresh content dropping this week. Headlining what’s now available in the post-Shadowkeep expansion world of Destiny is Leviathan’s Breath, a new Exotic bow that’s available to people who own the current season pass. Unlike Eriana’s Vow, though, you’ll have to earn the bow by completing a lengthy quest. And the first step–which involves getting into Banshee’s workshop–might be the trickiest.

To start the “Make Bows, Not War” quest to earn the bow, you’ll need to speak to Banshee-44 in the Tower. He’ll direct you to his hidden workshop, but he doesn’t really provide you with enough information to walk right into it. Instead, you’ll have to piece together its location from a clue–Banshee mentions a back way in known to Cayde-6. Destiny 2 players know Cayde used to hang out in the Tower’s Hangar area before he was killed in the Forsaken expansion, so you’ll need to start there.

Actually finding the start of the path to the workshop is a test in and of itself, and it’s a little confusing from there on, as well. Here’s the path’s location and everything you need to know to avoid getting lost as you try to find Banshee’s hideaway.

How To Find Banshee-44’s Workshop

  • Head to the Hangar and turn left. Look for the staircase in the back corner that leads up to the second-floor catwalks. This is where you go to meet Xur when he comes to the Tower.
  • Up on the second floor, follow the catwalks back toward the entrance to the Hangar. If you look over the door, you’ll see another catwalk you can’t reach unless you jump. Hop over to it and you’ll find a vent entrance.

  • Follow the vent through and you’ll enter a series of rooms. When you hit the one full of shelves, look up. In the back of the room is a shelf you can climb to reach another vent. Jump into it.

  • Keep following these vents until you drop into a cylindrical shaft. Use the platforms to climb to the top and find the exit.

  • Work your way through the path forward until you finally hit Banshee’s workshop. Approach the weapons locker at the far end and interact with it to get another quest step–it seems you need the keys to unlock this thing, so head back to Banshee.

From there, you’ve still got your work cut out for you in achieving the bow. Check out the full list of Make Bows, Not War quest steps, as well as our guide for how to complete the quest as efficiently as possible.

Nintendo Switch Third-Party Joy-Cons Add GameCube-Like Controls

Nintendo Switch has gotten GameCube controller support via third-party imitators and even an official adapter, but a new controller option lets you use a button layout similar to the classic system without giving up the Switch’s unique controller features.

The Sades Joy-Con takes the familiar GameCube button layout–complete with giant A button in the middle–and makes them detachable just like regular Joy-Con controllers. It’s available for purchase on Amazon for $60, and is currently expected to ship sometime in November or early December.

See SADES Joy-Con at Amazon

The Sades design takes a few other liberties as well. The controllers are slightly curved for ergonomics unlike the fairly flat standard Joy-Cons, which also helps it appear more like the classic GameCube controller. They’re also wireless and include the NFC functionality for Amiibo support, unlike a GameCube controller. And like regular Joy-Cons, they can be attached to the system, used independently, or attached to a Joy-Con Grip.

It’s a neat design and a nice concept, but user reviews for the new controller are sparse. Sades’ other Nintendo Switch accessories include a headset and carrying case.

See The Outer Worlds at Green Man Gaming

The space-faring shooter earned a 9/10 in our The Outer Worlds review. “I finished The Outer Worlds wanting more, eager to jump back into the world to see extra things,” wrote critic Edmond Tran. “It’s not a short game, but it’s one packed with such a steady stream of wonderful characters to meet, interesting places to explore, and meaningful, multi-layered quests to solve, that it didn’t feel like there was any room to get tired of it. I wanted to rewind the clock and do everything in a completely different way. The Outer Worlds is consistently compelling throughout, and it’s a superb example of how to promote traditional RPG sensibilities in a sharp, modern experience.”

Both Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and The Outer Worlds release on PC this Friday, October 25. Both games are also headed to PS4 and Xbox One, while The Outer Worlds is set for a Switch port at a later date.

Free Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare PS4 Theme Available Now

We’re now just days away from the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, the highly anticipated first-person shooter and soft reboot of the popular Modern Warfare series. If you’ve already secured your pre-order, pre-loaded the game on PS4, and are counting down the hours until the game officially goes live at 6 PM PT / 9 PM ET on October 24, you’ll probably be interested in this nice freebie. A brand-new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare dynamic theme is available to download from the PlayStation Store starting today, and it’s completely free.

The “Going Dark” theme is, as the name implies, quite dark, with a mostly black background and quiet, suspenseful music. The icons on the screen look a bit translucent, and the background features the series’ signature blue, radar-like waves. You can check it out in the video below.

Two other new PS4 themes are free right now, so you might as well snag all three at the same time. The first is a custom Mortal Kombat 11 theme designed by community artist BossLogic and features two different art designs inspired by the acclaimed fighting game. The second is a gorgeous theme inspired by Destiny Connect: Tick-Tock Travelers, an RPG about a girl named Sherry who must save her town from being frozen in time. This particular theme is available free for a limited time–you have until November 5 to claim it for yourself. Destiny Connect: Tick-Tock Travelers is now available to play, too; it released on PS4 and Nintendo Switch October 22.

There are also quite a few sales going on in the PlayStation Store right now, including its annual Halloween sale on some of the best and spookiest horror games on PS4 and an Ubisoft publisher sale with deals on Rainbow Six Siege, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, and more.

Red Dead 2 Online Adds Halloween Masks And More

Another week means more Red Dead Redemption 2 Online content is on the way. With Halloween around the corner, RDO players can earn a smattering of items like masks, embark on a new legendary bounty, and more.

For this week’s legendary bounty, Red Dead Online players can journey up to the swamps of Lagras to apprehend or kill Philip Carlier. The middle-aged fugitive is extremely volatile, so proceed with caution. Carlier is wanted dead or alive, and revisiting the Bounty board lets you replay the mission at a higher difficulty.

RDO players looking to channel their Halloween spirit can head to Madam Nazar to pick up some limited-time masks. And those in any of the three Specialist roles get a free one: Bounty Hunters get an exclusive Creature Mask variant, Traders get an exclusive Swine Mask, and Collectors get an exclusive Masquerade Mask. These masks for any of the Specialists are free of charge. Further, Outlaw Pass Club Rank 10 owners are rewarded an exclusive Freak Mask variation, while those Rank 20 will receive the Freak Mask and an exclusive Horror Mask variation. Check a few of them out below.

Owners of both Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2 can still get their hands on the Slaughter Mask just by playing GTA Online.

Also this week for RDO, the Free Aim Series has a new mode: Make It Count. This battle royale-like mode pairs players down to a bow and arrow or throwing knives to fight against enemies in a gradually-shrinking arena until one is left standing.

There are plenty of opportunities to gain extra experience in RDO this week as well. You will earn an additional 2,000 Club experience points and a 30 percent experience booster towards progress in the Wheeler, Rawson & Co. Club, and The Outlaw Pass by doing a variety of activities. These include all A Land of Opportunities and Free Roam missions, a range of Series game modes such as Elimination and Takeover, and more.

Pokemon Go Adding Online Battles Next Year

Last year, Pokemon Go finally introduced PvP battles to the mix, giving players the option to take on other trainers in head-to-head Pokemon battles. Since the feature arrived, however, you have only been able to battle other players in-person, but Niantic will soon let you compete against other trainers around the world.

On the official Pokemon Go website, Niantic announced a new battle feature called the Go Battle League. While the studio didn’t share many details on the feature, it did confirm you’ll be able to “battle opponents from around the globe through an online matching system and rise in the ranks of the league.”

To gain entry in the Go Battle League, Niantic says you’ll first need to “walk,” although the studio didn’t elaborate further on what that means. The Go Battle League is slated to launch sometime in early 2020. Niantic says more details about the feature will be revealed in a developer video “soon.”

In the meantime, Pokemon Go’s Halloween 2019 celebration is underway. As part of this year’s event, you can encounter costume-wearing versions of Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle in Raid Battles, while Pikachu wearing a Mimikyu costume can be found in the wild. The Mythical Pokemon Darkrai is also appearing in Raids for a limited time, and you have your first chance to catch a Shiny Yamask.

There are lots of other events lined up for November. From November 1-4, the Regi trio will return to five-star Raid Battles, while Regigigas will make its debut in EX Raids later in the month. If you can’t wait to encounter it, Niantic is holding a “Colossal Discovery” Special Research story event centered on the new Legendary on November 2, but you need to purchase a ticket to participate.

Finally, Pokemon Go’s November Community Day is set for Saturday, November 16–the day after Pokemon Sword and Shield launch on Nintendo Switch. The featured Pokemon this month will be Chimchar, the Fire-type starter from Diamond and Pearl.

WWE 2K20 Glitches Are Hilarious And Awful

WWE 2K20 is out today on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, but the internet is already filled to the brim with videos showing off the various glitches and hilarious oddities affecting 2K’s latest pro wrestling game.

Twitter user MrMacho419 might have captured the best of the lot so far with this farcical match between NXT’s Dakota Kai and superstar Ronda Rousey. The disappearing ladder isn’t ideal but is mostly fine, but then things take a turn for the worse when the steel steps sink into the ring, Rousey becomes entangled in ropes that aren’t meant to move like that, and Kai’s knees bend and move in a way that belongs in an exorcism movie.

Glitches like this have existed in each of 2K’s WWE games, especially when weapons are involved, but the frequency with which they happen in WWE 2K20 is bordering on the absurd. I’m playing the game for the purposes of writing GameSpot’s review and have encountered various glitches in every single match I’ve played so far. I’ve seen character’s teleport across the ring, witnessed foreign objects gain sentience, and encountered one game-breaking glitch that caused both superstars to stop moving for 10 minutes until I gave up and restarted the match.

The hashtag #FixWWE2K20 has been trending on Twitter throughout the day, and a user on Reddit has even compiled a list of every glitch discovered so far. It’s a bit of a mess.

BioShock Creator’s Next Game Is An Immersive Sim

After the release of BioShock Infinite in 2013, Irrational Games studio head Ken Levine decided to trim down the development team in order to work on smaller, more emergent and narrative-driven games, as opposed to the larger titles it had been creating. The studio restructure eventually led to a name change in 2017, and Ghost Story Games was born. In the years since, information on what exactly it’s cooking up has been sparse, but a recent job posting sheds some light on what to expect.

The job posting is for a cinematic narrative scripter at the studio and reveals that Ghost Story Games is working on a “creatively ambitious project in the immersive sim genre.” Those with a “passion for narrative first-person shooters” and “firsthand knowledge of design for shooters, immersive sims and/or action RPGs” is a plus, which certainly falls in line with Levine’s previous output, having worked on the likes of System Shock 2, SWAT 4, and the BioShock series.

At the 2014 Games Developers Conference, Levine spoke about the concept of “narrative Legos,” and followed that up in 2015 by saying that his next game would utilise the concept in a first-person sci-fi setting. Little else is known about the project beyond this, and the recent job listing indicates that it’s still a long ways off yet. “We are committed to making games that we judge by quality, not arbitrary timeliness.” In the meantime, there’s always System Shock 3.

Amazon’s Echo Dot Is A Whopping $9 With A Nice Bonus

Amazon will release the new Echo Dot with built-in LED display on November 4, just in time for Black Friday 2019. But if you’re hankering for a smart speaker and don’t need it to display time, we have quite the ridiculous deal for you. To seemingly clear out remaining stock, the 2018 Echo Dot is going for a measly buck at Amazon.

There’s a slight catch. You also have to pay for one month of Amazon Music upfront, bringing your grand total to $8.98. That’s an overall savings of $49. Not bad at all. Keep in mind that the Amazon Music subscription will automatically renew after the first month. So if you don’t want Amazon Music, make sure to cancel the subscription during the first month.

See at Amazon

The Echo Dot is a smart speaker that can play your music from Spotify, Apple Music, and Sirius XM via voice commands. It’s Alexa-enabled, so it can also function has a helper, whether you want to check the weather, sync it up with other smart home devices, or simply need to know which movies you’ve seen that actor in before.

The speaker itself, which you can get in Charcoal or Heather Gray, is surprisingly nice for the size. But if you want a more robust sound, you can also use your bluetooth-enabled home speakers or connect a speaker to the 3.5mm audio jack.
