Sea of Thieves ads a flamethrower – Polygon

With the July 29th update to Sea of Thieves, titled Ashen Winds, players can take on the new Ashen Lords and equip various new cosmetics and items. These skeletal foes are quite formidable and spawn randomly less burned by fire spouts and ash in combat. The big catch to these fights is that should players succeed, they receive an Ashen Winds skull. These skulls sell for large amounts of money and can be used as flamethrower weapons; however, they sell for much less if they run out of fuel.

 

Valorant, Killjoy reveal – Polygon

Valorant’s latest agent, Killjoy, has been revealed. She looks like a dangerous character with her arsenal of turrets, grenades, and traps. Her turret ability is likely to be the most problematic among the community as it allows her to watch multiple angles at once and get kills while not participating in a fight. The rest of her abilities are much less problematic but sound effective at locking down zones. Killjoy will be live for Act 2 on August 4th.
