The Vampyre Kraken can be a tough fight in Old School RuneScape (OSRS), but there’s a way to get a safespot that makes you immune to its attacks.

What this means is that you can straight-up farm the kraken without any risks! You just need to stand in place and shoot at it until it dies. Meanwhile, it can do nothing to counterattack you. But this does require some proper setup!

In this quick guide, we’ll tell you how to set up a safespot to farm Vampyre Krakens.

How to Safespot Vampyre Kraken | OSRS

First of all, for this safespot method, we will be using the RuneLite client thanks to its Ground Markers feature. This will make it much easier to tell where exactly to stand.

With that said, here are the Ground Markers you’ll need for this safespot:

[{"regionId":11072,"regionX":63,"regionY":52,"z":0,"color":"#FF5AD2D0"},{"regionId":11072,"regionX":63,"regionY":49,"z":0,"color":"#FF5AD2D0"},{"regionId":11072,"regionX":63,"regionY":50,"z":0,"color":"#FF720B78","label":"Back Left"},{"regionId":11328,"regionX":7,"regionY":49,"z":0,"color":"#FFED7825","label":"Kraken Spawn"},{"regionId":11328,"regionX":4,"regionY":54,"z":0,"color":"#FF5AD2D0"},{"regionId":11328,"regionX":1,"regionY":53,"z":0,"color":"#FF5AD2D0"},{"regionId":11328,"regionX":2,"regionY":48,"z":0,"color":"#FF5AD2D0"},{"regionId":11328,"regionX":1,"regionY":48,"z":0,"color":"#FF5AD2D0"},{"regionId":11328,"regionX":4,"regionY":49,"z":0,"color":"#FF5AD2D0"},{"regionId":11328,"regionX":5,"regionY":49,"z":0,"color":"#FF5AD2D0"},{"regionId":11328,"regionX":6,"regionY":50,"z":0,"color":"#FF5AD2D0"},{"regionId":11328,"regionX":8,"regionY":53,"z":0,"color":"#FF720B78","label":"Front"},{"regionId":11328,"regionX":0,"regionY":48,"z":0,"color":"#FF720B78","label":"Back right"}]

To import these, just copy them and then right-click on your minimap and select “Import Ground Markers”. They’ll be instantly loaded in, marking the relevant tiles in your game.

Once that’s done, you’ll need to head to the spot shown above. It’s just a bit north of Weiss, you’ll be fighting the northwestern Vampyre Kraken in that area.

When you get there, position your ship following the markers. It should look something like the example above. Then, you’ll need to defeat the Vampyre Kraken normally to get it to respawn.

As soon as the Vampyre Kraken starts to respawn, instantly attack it. It will appear on the orange Kraken Spawn tile. You need to time this right, hitting it before it moves out of that tile!

If you do this correctly, the Vampyre Kraken will be stuck underwater and unable to attack you. This allows you to freely whittle it down with extreme ease! You can even do this while AFK as long as you remember to check before the respawn.

So, there you have it! That’s how to easily get a safespot to kill the Vampyre Kraken in OSRS. Note that this method could potentially be patched in the future, so make sure to enjoy it while it lasts!

You’ll need to be at least Sailing Level 78 to fight the Vampyre Kraken. If you’re still early into your Sailing journey, check out our Level 1 to 50+ leveling guide.

We are thrilled to announce that Bootstrap Island is officially coming to PlayStation VR2 in 2026. This will be the most immersive version of Bootstrap Island yet, powered by the advanced features of PS VR2. Built exclusively for high fidelity hardware, it aims to deliver realism, tactile interactions, and a powerful sense of presence. And now we are bringing that vision to PS VR2.

Bootstrap Island pushes your survival instincts to their limits

Bootstrap Island is a realistic yet intense survival adventure inspired by Robinson Crusoe and other classic tales. After a brutal shipwreck, you awake as Daniel, a 17th-century survivor stranded on a deadly tropical island. To survive, you must learn fast and face wild beasts, powerful forces of nature, and the secrets hidden deep within the jungle.

Ruthless survival experience

There is no hand holding, no guidelines, and no second chances. Only your instinct, skill, and determination matter. Bootstrap Island is a ruthless roguelike where every decision carries consequences.

You will gather food and fresh water, hunt fish and wildlife, and prepare for the dangers of nightfall. When darkness arrives, the beasts attack. You will need to learn how to light fires and how to load and shoot a flintlock pistol because you will rely on it.

Animals are not the only threat. Rain, storms, sickness, quicksand, territorial animals, and poisonous fruits are constant dangers.

Dynamic open world

Bootstrap Island features a highly realistic, systems driven world where everything reacts. Day and night cycles, weather, fire, and liquids interact in complex and often unpredictable ways.

The island can be explored freely. Beaches, riverlands, jungle, and other biomes offer different resources. Every interaction encourages experimentation and instinctive problem solving. You just have to be creative.

Progression to survive longer

Every death teaches you something valuable. You learn by doing, adapt your strategy, and unlock new items that help you survive longer in future runs. As you stay alive longer, you gain access to satchels for inventory, a building book for constructing shelters and defenses, and equipment such as a musket for stronger firepower. Medicine found in bottles helps you fight sickness. You will begin to notice subtle changes in the environment. Survival comes from knowledge, preparation, and experience.

Immersive narrative

Uncover the story of the survivor, the life before the shipwreck, and the uncertain future that awaits.
As you explore, you will discover who you are, why you were on the ship, and whether your presence on the island is a coincidence or something more meaningful. There are signs of other people. Whether they are hostile or friendly is something you will discover on your journey.

Randomized sessions

No two runs are ever the same. Each session reshuffles resources, events, weather patterns, and the types of creatures that hunt at night. The island is always changing. Items found in chests, territorial dangers, and weather conditions all shift from run to run. Adaptation is essential.

PS VR2 takes our survival vision to its full potential

From the beginning, our goal for Bootstrap Island was to create a VR experience so believable that players forget the real world, with every interaction from lighting a fire to gathering resources feeling natural, grounded, and physically intuitive. To achieve this, the game is built on interconnected systems where fire, water, weather, physics, and animal behavior constantly influence one another, creating moments that feel alive and unplanned. For us, VR has always been more than technology; it is a medium capable of evoking presence, emotion, and wonder. 

PS VR2 allows us to fully express this vision for the most realistic survival experience in VR through features such as foveated rendering for exceptional clarity and performance, headset vibration that intensifies dramatic moments like storms and near death encounters, and adaptive triggers with advanced haptics that create lifelike sensations including thunder strikes, bow tension and pistol recoil. Together, these capabilities make the PS VR2 release of Bootstrap Island the most immersive version of the game.

Bootstrap Island is developed by a small indie team at Maru VR, and although this is our first premium game, we have created more than 40 VR experiences over the past eight years to understand the medium and learn how to push its potential.

Over the years, Destiny 2 players have been accustomed to many different roles in their time as Guardians. Serving Mara Sov as a member of her Queens Guard, acting as Mithrax’s second-in-command as a Slayer Baron, and even becoming a Weapon of the Nine in Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate. Now, with Destiny 2: Renegades set to launch on December 2, the Guardian will find themselves taking on a new role, as a Renegade finding adventure among the crime syndicates of the Lawless Frontier.

As the old saying goes, a successful job requires the right tools. With Renegades, Guardians will dip into a new set of weapons: Blasters (aka heat weapons). Inspired by the blasters made famous in the Star Wars films, this new weapon archetype wears its design influences proudly while also providing players with some new advantages (and considerations) when diving into battle against Dredgen Bael’s Imperium.

“Heat weapons are kind of in the DNA of Bungie, looking back at the Covenant weapons from Halo CE all the way through Reach,” said Destiny sandbox designer Mercules. “Even before we knew we’d be working on a Star Wars-inspired expansion, we had been wanting to do heat weapons. A couple years back, we were interested in implementing something inspired by Halo’s heat system into Destiny 2, but knew it was going to take quite a bit of effort to get it working, so we kind of filed the idea away for a better time. And what better time than now?”

The sandbox team spent time discussing how that heat system could be updated for the modern needs of Destiny 2. “There was a big focus on making the weapons feel like they fit into the game’s existing sandbox. It was important to us that the heat weapons would look, feel, and perform differently, while still merging into Destiny 2’s gameplay.” 

First and foremost, heat weapons fire ammo directly from reserves. This means there is no reloading of a magazine; instead, the reload mechanic controls the weapon’s venting, allowing the player to dissipate some of the weapon’s heat. (Note that players can run out of ammo for heat weapons that use Special or Heavy ammo). Heat weapons use several heat-centric stats, including cooling efficiency (how long it takes for the weapon to cool down after being fired), vent speed (how quickly heat dissipates while venting), and heat generated (how much heat is created during firing). Perks like heatsinks and a new masterwork option, as well as mods unlocked at higher Gear Tier, will all affect how it reacts and performs under fire.

There are also a trio of new heat-specific perks, as well as a pair of origin perks that interact with heat. One of the new perks makes you deal more damage when in a high heat state (and enemies defeated while in that state explode) and another dramatically reduces your heat when you pick up Orbs or elemental baubles.

The team wanted to make several types of heat weapons, each with their own niche. Primary ammo heat weapons, by default, deal more damage to powerful PVE combatants. One sub-family, Balanced Heat Weapons, excel at laying down sustained fire. “With some build crafting you can do crazy things like firing nearly 100 rounds from an Auto Rifle before overheating,” Mercules said. The Dynamic Heat Weapons are focused on putting out a lot of damage very quickly. As Mercules explains, “Since they natively cool down fast, you can backpack them and use them effectively in weapon-juggling rotations.”

Each of Renegades’ new heat weapons features a unique visual design, and they all clearly wear their Star Wars influence on their metaphorical sleeve. From the Uncivil Discourse Hand Cannon to the Refurbished A499 Sniper Rifle, there is plenty for fans to geek out about, just like the Bungie team did during development.

“For me personally working on these weapons and Renegades as a whole has literally been a dream come true,” said Mercules. “When I was a kid, I had two dreams: One was to work at Bungie (maker of my favorite game, Halo), and the other was to work on Star Wars (my favorite fictional universe). Never in my wildest dreams did I get to think I’d do both at the same time!”  

Whether navigating the underground syndicates of Tharsis Outpost, wielding powerful heat weapons in the new Lawless Frontier activity, or preparing to forge their own Praxic Blade, adventure awaits when Destiny 2: Renegades launches on December 2.

Helldivers, high-ranking officials in the Ministry of Defense have accused you of being the best. And if you’re the best, then you’re going to need to be outfitted with the best, which is why the Ministry has fast-tracked the deployment of the Python Commandos Premium Warbond*–arriving to your Super Destroyers on December 2!

Weapons & Stratagems

Let’s talk firepower first. Python Commandos is loaded with three brand new stratagems and a new primary.

The Ministry of Defense received thousands of requests from squad commanders for a minigun and we’re excited to finally give our Helldivers access to the M-1000 Maxigun! Belt-fed with ultra-high ammo capacity, this one is sure to make those bugs bleed.

This Warbond also includes another addition to the line-up of faithful sidekicks for your Helldiver: the AX/FLAM-75 “Guard Dog” Hot Dog. This drone is equipped with a flamethrower to coat your foes in the fires of freedom before returning to your backpack to refuel.

But if you don’t want to burn the jungle down, consider doing your deforestation with the CQC-9 Defoliation Tool. If the machete doesn’t cut it–whether it’s a tree or an enemy–surely this will!

And finally, Python Commandos has a new and unique primary weapon: a combination assault rifle and grenade launcher called the AR/GL-21 One-Two. Heavy to wield, but the damage dealt is heavy too, making your primary slot more versatile than ever with two guns in one!

Armors & Capes

Python Commandos features two armor sets and, like Viper Commandos before it, they both let you get those guns out for some fresh air.

First up is the RS-20 Constrictor light armor set. It’s also the official uniform for the League of Patriotic Arm Wrestlers, so it’s guaranteed to give your squad bigger and more rippling biceps to intimidate the enemy. But if you’re carrying the team, maybe you need the RS-40 Best of Prey: a heavy armor set patterned after legendary Helldiver, Ronald Mambo and his famously powerful and burly physique.

Both of these armors are equipped with the Rock Solid passive, which makes your Helldiver more steadfast against staggering and ragdolling attacks.

You’ll also have two capes and coordinating player cards available: Foe Rent Asunder, which is pre-tattered to give a battle-worn appearance, and Mark of the Constrictor, for Helldivers who strangle out any anti-democratic behavior they encounter.

Patterns & Emotes

Along with all this, you’ll get access to the Front-Leaning Rest Position emote–now you can drop and give ‘em 20 anytime!

Python Commandos also includes the Chameleon Camo pattern for your FRV, Exosuit, Hellpod, and Shuttle.

The finishing touch is to get the whole team coordinated with the Python Commando player title and organize a swift strike on anything that stands between you and extraction.

The Python Commandos Premium Warbond is dropping in on December 2, divers. Get ready to deliver the venom of Liberty directly into the heart of evil!

*Requires base game, paid purchase of Super Credits, and game progression to unlock.

When you first start Where Winds Meet, you’re hit with an interesting choice: Would you like to play as a Lone Wanderer or play a Shared Journey? Of course, seeing as though at this point you know nothing about the game, this might seem like a pretty massive choice.

Figuring out what's the best, most realistic flight simulator is an easy affair. Ask a table full of people at any airshow, then just wait while they tear each other apart in the ensuing argument. Whoever is left alive gets to call it.

Gaming is typically seen as a leisure activity, but that doesn't mean you can't spend some serious money on it, often without getting a return.

Developed by Hypixel Studios, Hytale is a sandbox game that nearly didn't get to see the light of day, as it was canceled by Riot Games in June. Since then, the original founders have repurchased the game, built a 50-person independent team, and announced early access will begin in January 2026.

I think we can all agree that ARC Raiders is the moment right now in the multiplayer universe, since it has been pulling some seriously impressive numbers, like selling over 4 million copies so far and hitting more than 700,000 concurrent players across all platforms.

Ages have passed, and the Divine Gates open once more. Return to Verra, reclaim your ancestral home, and face the shadows left by the Ancients. Your story begins anew in Ashes of Creation.

If you have been hoping to snag some official gaming gear before the year wraps up, whether for yourself or to sneak a Christmas gift, here’s your chance.

A trademark for CONTROL: Resonant hints at a possible new game in Remedy's universe, raising anticipation for a reveal at the Game Awards. Remedy faces financial challenges and seeks a successful project.

Splash Damage is undergoing a studio-wide consultation process likely leading to job losses, following its acquisition by a private equity firm, aiming to adapt in a challenging market.

CD Projekt Red reports Cyberpunk 2077 is their main revenue source, surpassing 35 million copies sold, and outpacing The Witcher 3's sales growth, while also developing The Witcher 4 and Cyberpunk 2.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach has reportedly received an ESRB rating for PC, suggesting a release shortly after its console launch. Sony retains publishing rights, despite Kojima owning the game’s rights.

After Fortnite Festival's most recent season didn't have a headliner, things are back to normal in Season 11 with the Starlux music pass featuring Lisa from Blackpink.

This pass is pretty loaded, with eight jam tracks, two skins, two Kpop emotes, two guitars, a bass, a drum kit, a mic, three auras, and one weapon wrap. The Fortnite-original Melodie Mars skin is unlocked instantly when you purchase the pass, and the Rockstar Lisa skin is the final reward in the pass, she's got a reactive back bling on the pass as well.

Those Icon emotes are a pretty surprising inclusion, as there have only been three total Icon emotes included in the previous 11`music passes. To have two of them on one music pass is very unusual. It would be cooler, however, if the emotes actually featured songs that were well known.

One of them is called Latata, which is also the name of a well known Kpop song released in 2018--but this emote uses a different, unrelated song called Latata that is not even slightly popular. The other, which uses Can't Get Enough by Krysta Youngs and NiiWHA, is only slightly less obscure. These two tracks have fewer than 5,000 total listens combined on YouTube Music.

Of the eight jam tracks included in the Starlux pass, four are licensed and four are Epic-produced tracks. These are the licensed tracks.

• Get Jiggy by B Jack$, Zeddy Will
• Dashstar* VIP by Knock2
• Sorry by Justin Bieber
• F*** Up the World (Vixi Solo Version) by Lisa

In all, the Starlux music pass includes 30 items, with one reward unlocking each two account levels you earn in any Fortnite experience. The pass costs 1,400 V-Bucks, and is included with a Fortnite Crew subscription. Scroll on to see everything you can collect from this one.

Epic Games seems to love saving its biggest collabs for the first season of each new Fortnite chapter, and that certainly has not changed in Chapter 7 Season 1--which has a battle pass that includes two classic and beloved movie characters, Marty McFly from Back to the Future, and Beatrix "The Bride" Kiddo from Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill.

In terms of name recognition, that's a pretty major pairing with at least as much name recognition as Godzilla and Hatsune Miku, which Fortnite kicked off Chapter 6 with a year ago. But if those folks aren't your speed, fortunately, there are six other skins on the Season 1 battle pass that you can enjoy.

Four of those skins are just regular humans, including a skater girl named Carina who has blue hair and a cast on her right wrist, who's sure to be an instant favorite. The pass rounds out with Kingston, a laid-back lion man, and a new version of the old Eternal Voyager skin who appears to be related to The Seven somehow.

This battle pass will work differently from past ones. While The Bride is the skin you unlock instantly when you buy the pass, and Dark Voyager is the final skin, you can unlock the rest of the skins in whatever order you want. On top of that, there's no time-gated bonus skin that will unlock halfway through the season. All eight skins can be earned from day one.

As usual, the battle pass costs 1,000 V-Bucks to purchase, and it's included with a subscription to Fortnite Crew, whether you're subscribed to Crew on its own or through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. The pass includes 1,500 V-Bucks you can unlock. Scroll on for a first look at everything included on the Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 battle pass.

The last couple Fortnite Battle Royale islands have been based on real-life geography and ecosystems--Chapter 5 was Mediterranean Europe, and Chapter 6 was Japan. In Chapter 7, we've moved on to North America, and specifically the southwestern USA. The Chapter 7 map includes major locations based on Los Angeles, Las Vegas, San Francisco, and Area 51--in other words, it's Fortnite's San Andreas map.

It all starts in Battlewood in the southwest portion of the new island, which has its own version of the iconic Hollywood sign and streets lined with palm trees. Nearby, you'll find the sound stages of Sus Studios, and you can take a ride up the freeway--yes, this map has Fortnite's first four-lane highway--to visit the casinos of the Sandy Strip. And smack in the middle of the map you won't find Tilted Towers or any other city. Instead, the heart of the island holds Innoloop Labs, an Area 51-esque spot where somebody is doing experiments on the Zero Point.

But the highlight of the map is in the northeast, where you'll find a theme park called Wonkeeland, where you can ride a roller coaster--the first time Fortnite has had one of those since Chapter 3.

There's no train on the Chapter 7 island, unfortunately, but there's something that might actually be better: hot air balloons. You can find several of these balloons floating around the island, and you can ride them to new places or use them as a sniper's nest.

Fortnite's Chapter 7 map sure looks like a wild one. Scroll on for a better look at some of the key spots around the island.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fortnite's biggest day of the year started off with a massive live event that wrapped up Chapter 6, and if all goes well, Chapter 7 will begin very soon. In the meantime, though, Fortnite's servers are offline for maintenance and to deploy the Chapter 7 update. There's no bug here--Fortnite is offline on purpose. But it shouldn't be down for long.

UPDATE: Servers are back online as of 4:30 PM PT. Chapter 7 has begun!

When will Fortnite Chapter 7 start?

In the past, the start of a new chapter came with longer periods of downtime--like a day or more--but these days Epic tends to treat new season and new chapter updates the same as it would a regular mid-month patch. That means you can expect Fortnite to be offline for between 4 and 7 hours, with Chapter 7 likely launching in the evening on Saturday, November 29, likely around 5 PM PT / 8 PM ET--primetime, in other words.
