Our former John (RPS in peace) has vanished in odd circumstances, last heard claiming he’ll be flying through the sky in a big metal snake, so I’m taking over this week. Not even an employee anymore and he’s still making work for me.

Join me for a stroll down the hit parade to inspect last week’s top-selling games on Steam.

New weapons were bound to come into The Division 2 eventually and one of the best, if most elusive has to be the Nemesis Sniper Rifle. But how do you get it? These legendary guns are hard to come by and might not seem like much at first, but with proper care and use they are easily some of the very best death-dealing machines in the game.

I skipped over so much of what makes Mordhau great in my Mordhau review. Yes, it’s a multiplayer medieval melee where 64 swordboys duke it out in hectic battles, then retire to duel servers for more sophisticated brawling. Yes, there’s a cool customisation system. Yes, it’s hilarious. But I don’t think I properly stressed how silly it all is.

This video of two men running around a battlefield as shirtless boxers does though.

Some have called The Division 2 one of the loot-n-shooter genre’s very best titles, and – whether or not you agree – much of this success is down to the tight gunplay and diverse arsenal of guns and weapons to choose from. As you stalk the streets of Washington D.C., you know at all times that you’re only as good as the two primary weapons and one sidearm you carry. Our The Division 2 weapons guide will walk you through how to get your choice of weaponry right first time, by walking you through the stats and behaviours of every single weapon you can find through every class tier level, from the common and worn all the way up to legendary Exotics like the Ruthless Rifle and the Lullaby Shotgun.

The Risk of Rain 2 items list was where we all kinda figured Hopoo Games weren’t going to disappoint, considering the stellar array of items that had been added to the first Risk of Rain. Just take a look at that image above. All those different colours, shapes, and functions, each awakening a different strain of morbid curiosity in the player. What about that creepy white mask, eh? Or that rusty old key – what does that unlock, exactly?

The answers to these questions and much more can be found just below, in our lovely and concise Risk of Rain 2 items and equipment guide. We’ll walk you through not only every item and equipment type but also how you can come about these items, and what to look for when creating your next build in Risk of Rain 2.
