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 opened 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.

How to Find a Squad for Modern Warfare 4 and DMZ

To find a squad for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, decide which mode you're building it for first. DMZ, the extraction mode, rewards a small squad that trusts each other with revives, loot and exfils. Core 6v6, Kill Block and Ground War want different group sizes. Then settle platform and input. MW4 is on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC and Nintendo Switch 2 with full cross-play, but not on PS4 or Xbox One, and it won't be on Game Pass until Holiday 2027. It launched worldwide on 23 October 2026, after Campaign and DMZ Early Access for digital pre-orders. On PaxJax you can filter players by game, platform and region, list your role, and save a standing squad so the same people are there every night.

CS2 Rank Check: Premier, Competitive and Faceit Explained

CS2 has three separate ranking systems and 'what rank are you' means a different thing in each. Premier gives one open-ended CS Rating per account, resets every season, and stays hidden until you win 10 matches. Competitive gives you one of 18 skill groups per map, so you can be Global Elite on Mirage and Gold Nova on Ancient at the same time. Faceit is a third-party platform with its own levels 1–10 and its own Elo, unrelated to either. To check your own, look in game; to check someone else's, use Leetify or csstats.gg — which need that player's Steam profile and its Game details set to Public, the single most common reason a CS2 lookup returns nothing.

Fortnite Player Search & Stats Lookup

Fortnite has no in-game player search — you can see your own numbers in the Career tab, but to look someone else up you need a third-party tracker like Fortnite Tracker or fortnite.gg, which read Epic's public stats API. If a lookup returns nothing, the usual cause is not a misspelled name: it is that the player has Public Game Stats switched off under Settings → Account and Privacy → Gameplay Privacy, which hides them from every tracker at once. Two things make the numbers misleading even when they do load: stats are split across modes and inputs, so a single K/D is meaningless without knowing which one you are reading, and early lobbies are seeded with bots, which flatters elimination counts. Tournament results stay public regardless of that setting.

What Is Catch Flex? The Body-Tracking Rhythm Game That Doesn't Need VR

Catch Flex is a full-body rhythm game from indie developer and publisher Vilegacy, released on Steam on 29 August 2026 for Windows PC at $9.99. It also runs on Steam Deck using phone tracking. You play it with your whole body, slashing, catching, kicking, stomping, sliding, dodging and jumping to ten hand-charted tracks. It can import charts written for other rhythm games and, since 2 October, build a level from any song you own. It tracks you with an ordinary webcam or your phone running the free Catch Flex: Controller app, with no VR headset or gamepad needed, though an optional experimental VR mode arrived on 3 October. What you actually need is room to move, decent lighting and your full body in frame, which is why the free demo exists: run it first and find out whether your space works before you pay.

Best ARC Raiders Weapons in 2026: Tier List

In ARC Raiders as of the Frozen Trail update (2.0, 8 October 2026), the S-tier weapons are the Anvil, Bettina, Renegade, Dolabra, Venator and Vulcano. Frozen Trail didn't move a tier, but it made the Anvil a rare (blue) weapon, took it out of Tian Wen's shop, and added two new weapons, the Bantam and the Stiletto, which stay unranked until Embark publishes figures. The Bettina joined them in Riven Tides (1.26.0) after a large buff — base damage 14 to 16, ARC armour damage up 33%, per-shot dispersion down 40% — and got a further fire-rate bump to 250 in 1.29.0. But the change that matters most isn't on any tier list: since 1.26.0 durability loss scales by rarity, and a legendary takes roughly 85% less durability damage per shot than a common. Average spawn durability also dropped from 50 to 30, so the rarity of the gun you bring now affects your raid economy more than its tier does.

Best BGMI Guns in 2026: Tier List

In BGMI as of the 4.6 update (16 September 2026), the S-tier guns are the M416, Groza, AKM, AWM and UMP45, with the Beryl M762, JS9, ACE32, Kar98k, Mini 14 and DP-28 in A-tier. The safest ranked loadout is still M416 + UMP45. Two things define the current meta: snipers and DMRs no longer lose damage at range, which makes the AWM the most oppressive gun in the game, and shotguns were nerfed, which hands close-quarters fights to the UMP45 and the new JS9. Update 4.6 cut the ACE32's recoil and steadied the 7.62mm rifles' single and burst fire, but Krafton published no figures, so no gun has been re-tiered on it. Do not use a PUBG PC tier list here — the games have different loot pools, and the DP-28 that PC deleted in Update 42.1 is still A-tier in BGMI.

Best Delta Force Weapons in 2026: Tier List

In Delta Force as of Season 11 Reorientation (8 September 2026), the safest Warfare picks are still the SG552, M7, SCAR-H and RM277. Season 11's balance pass didn't touch any of them. It added the MDR assault rifle and the Thompson SMG, which are too new to rank. But Warfare and Operations do not share a meta, and most tier lists never say which they are ranking — that is why they contradict each other. Two Season 10 changes still matter more than the rankings. The SG552's damage ranges went from 40/50/70/90m to 50/60/70/90m, which is why it is everywhere. And 9x39mm PAB ammo, which is permanent rather than season-limited, applies a 3-second vulnerability effect to whichever body part you hit, for up to 60% bonus damage to that part on follow-up shots.

Best Free Fire Characters & Weapons in 2026

In Free Fire after OB55 (10 September 2026), the S-tier characters are Alok, Chrono, Xayne, K and Skyler, and the S-tier weapons are the Groza, MP40, M1887 and AWM. OB55 buffed the Groza and M1887, cut range on every SMG in exchange for movement speed, slowed every sniper and marksman rifle, and buffed Wukong and Morse. Four new guns (M7, Skorp, RPK and Hawk) arrived on 1 October and are too new to rank. The two OB54 systems still matter more than the rankings. Weapon Awakening means that at 10 players alive every survivor gets a free Weapon Awakener, so judge a gun by how it scales awakened. And eight characters have skill paths with two mutually exclusive boosts each, so a character's real tier depends on the branch you picked.

Tarkov Player Search & Profile Lookup

To look up an Escape from Tarkov player, open the Friends tab in game, search their exact nickname, and open their profile — Tarkov has had public player profiles since the late-2023 wipe, showing K/D, raids completed, survival rate, achievements and current loadout. Two caveats change how you read them: PvP and PvE kills are counted together, so a huge K/D is often Scav farming rather than skill, and every stat resets at wipe, so a profile shows the current wipe only and never a career. No lookup tells you whether someone is worth raiding with — that needs playstyle, region and schedule, which is what PaxJax is for.
