How to Find a Hunt: Showdown 1896 Trio in 2026

To find a Hunt: Showdown 1896 trio in 2026, build a standing team instead of relying on random fill. Agree on mics, how hard you push, who calls the sounds and when you leave with the bounty before your first match. Hunt is on Steam, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, and teams are up to three. PS5 and Xbox players can team up, but PC is separate from console, so your teammates need to be on the same side. Blood Testament Chapter 2 started on 6 October and the All Hallows' Cleave community event begins on 13 October. On PaxJax you can filter hunters by game, platform, region and schedule, and save a standing duo or trio.

How to Find People to Play Warframe With in 2026

To find people to play Warframe with in 2026, decide what content you want a group for, then look for a standing squad or a clan that runs it, instead of relying on recruiting chat. Most missions take up to four players, but The Icebind, the 6-player endgame mode that launched on 7 October 2026, needs a full premade squad of six, with no public matchmaking. Warframe is free to play with cross-play and cross-save across PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch and mobile, and Update 42 added Clan Only matchmaking and a clan resource bonus for squads of clanmates. On PaxJax you can filter players by platform, the frames they play and the content they run, and save a standing squad.

Best Co-op Horror Games to Play With Friends This Halloween (2026)

The best co-op horror games to play with friends this Halloween are Phasmophobia (up to four ghost hunters, with the Crimson Eye event running from 8 October to 1 November), Lethal Company (four scavengers and a quota, PC only), Dead by Daylight (four survivors against one killer, with Haunted by Daylight running from 13 October to 3 November), Hunt: Showdown 1896 (solo, duos or trios, with Blood Testament Chapter 2 live since 6 October) and GTFO (a finished, very hard four-player shooter). All five punish a group that doesn't talk. On PaxJax you can find players for each of them by game, platform and region and save a standing squad for October.

How to Find a Crew in NBA 2K27

To find a Crew in NBA 2K27, decide first what you want from one: ranked Crew Games, REC runs or just people to play with. Then use the Crews tab in The City to search by focus, active times, vibe, mic, language and region, or start your own and recruit by position. In NBA 2K27 Crews replace Pro-Am. Your Crew gets a Crew HQ with 3v3 and 5v5 courts, plays ranked Crew Games across six tiers from Bronze to Top Ranked, and can enter a divisional tournament on each Season's final weekend. Only PS5 and Xbox Series X|S cross-play, and progress doesn't carry between platforms, so settle your platform first. On PaxJax you can filter players by position, platform and region and save a standing five for Crew Games.

How to Find a Valorant Premier Team (and How Premier Works)

To play Valorant Premier, you need a team of five to seven players who can all make the same weekly match windows in the same Zone. Every player needs SMS Verification and at least one ranked placement, and you can be on only one Premier team at a time. A Stage runs for about seven weeks, with up to two Best-of-1 matches a week: a win is worth 100 Premier Score and a loss 25, and a standard Stage needs 600 to reach the playoffs. Premier is PC only. On PaxJax you can filter players by region, rank and schedule, and save the roster as a standing team.

How to Find an OSRS Clan and Raid Team in 2026

To find an Old School RuneScape clan or raid team in 2026, decide what you want a group for, whether that's raids, Nex, Group Ironman or social skilling, then look for a clan or standing team that does it at the hours you play. The fourth raid, The Fractured Archive, launches on 20 October 2026. Jagex plans for it to scale from 2 to 8 players, and you need While Guthix Sleeps to enter. The official forums closed in 2024, so recruiting has moved to Discord, Reddit and the in-game Clan Hub. On PaxJax you can filter players by the content they run, their account type and their schedule, and save a standing team.

How to Find People to Play Elden Ring Nightreign With in 2026

To find people to play Elden Ring Nightreign with in 2026, build a standing trio or duo on your platform, agree on who plays which Nightfarer, and sort out voice chat outside the game, because Nightreign has none. Expeditions take one, two or three players, with duos added in Patch 1.02. There's no cross-play between PC, PlayStation and Xbox, so everyone needs to be on the same platform family. The Forsaken Hollows DLC brought the roster to 10 Nightfarers, and Deep of Night matches players of similar depth, so a steady trio climbs together. On PaxJax you can filter players by platform, the Nightfarers they play and their schedule, and save a standing trio.

How to Find People to Play Lethal Company With in 2026

To find people to play Lethal Company with in 2026, build a standing crew of four instead of relying on public lobbies. Agree on who runs the terminal, how much risk you take on each moon and when you head back to the ship before the first run. Lethal Company is a Windows PC game on Steam, still in Early Access, for up to four players, and there's no console version, so everyone you play with is on PC. The latest update is Version 80, The Blooming Update, from April 2026, and Zeekerss says the next one will be more content-focused. On PaxJax you can filter players by game, region and schedule and save a standing crew, so the same four meet quota every session.

How to Find People to Play Phasmophobia With in 2026

To find people to play Phasmophobia with in 2026, build a standing team of up to four instead of relying on public lobbies. Agree on difficulty, platform, server region and who does which job before the first contract. Phasmophobia has crossplay between PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, with VR players in the same lobbies, so a friend on another platform can join once everyone picks the same region. Kinetic Games' Crimson Eye Halloween event runs from 8 October to 1 November 2026 under Blood Moon weather, so a team that already works together gets the most out of it. On PaxJax you can filter players by game, platform and region and save a standing team for your regular night.

Best Monster Hunter Wilds Weapons in 2026: Tier List

There is no honest power tier list for Monster Hunter Wilds, and any site that gives you one is guessing. Capcom publishes no motion values or damage tables, and it has made no weapon balance changes in either recent major update — Title Update 4 (Ver. 1.041, 18 February 2026) and Ver. 1.042 (4 August 2026) both list only bug fixes under Player. All 14 weapon types are built to clear every hunt. What actually differs is how much each one asks of you before it pays off, so that is what this guide ranks: Sword & Shield, Light Bowgun, Dual Blades and Hammer are the fastest to be genuinely useful with; Great Sword, Long Sword, Switch Axe, Lance, Gunlance, Bow and Heavy Bowgun reward practice; Charge Blade, Insect Glaive and Hunting Horn have the steepest climb. You also don't have to choose — your Seikret carries a second weapon you can swap to mid-hunt.

How to Find a Squad for Gears of War: E-Day

To find a squad for Gears of War: E-Day, decide which mode it's for first, because each one needs a different four: campaign co-op for up to four players as Bravo Squad, one of the three four-player squads in 12-player Horde Siege, or a team for 4v4 Versus, where Ranked opens on 13 October. Then settle platform and access. E-Day is on Xbox Series X|S and PC (Xbox app and Steam) with cross-play, day one on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass, and there's no PS5 version. It launched worldwide on 6 October 2026, after five days of Premium Edition early access. On PaxJax you can filter players by game, platform and region, and save a standing squad so the same four are there every night.

How to Find a Pro Clubs Team in EA FC 27

To find a Pro Clubs team in EA FC 27, sort out the people before the pitch: agree positions, platform and a regular match night, then use The Grounds' smaller games to try players out before you commit to 11v11. FC 27 moves Clubs inside The Grounds, a shared open world of up to 100 players, and that mode runs only on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC and Nintendo Switch 2, so a friend on PS4 or Xbox One can't join your club. FC 27 launched worldwide on 25 September 2026, after a week of early access on the Ultimate editions, and the first Club Tournament, a Classic Stadium 11v11 event, ran from early access into launch. On PaxJax you can list your position, filter players by platform and region, and save a standing club so the same eleven turn up every league night.
