Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has reached the middle of its third season. They call it MW3 Season 3 Reloaded, and with it come new maps, such as Grime.






Before you dive into multiplayer, we've got you covered with Call of Duty's breakdown of its new core 6v6 map. You and your team can prepare and get to know it well prior to dominating.



When does Grime release in MW3?



Grime releases with MW3 Season 3 Reloaded. The Call of Duty update kicks off the month of May for its players. On May 1 at 9 a.m. PT, globally and on all platforms, the mid-season patch with the new map goes live.



Information and tactical overview



Everyone has known that Grime is arriving with the MW3 Season 3 roadmap. This is our first full overview of the battlefield, however. Let's dive in to what you can expect from this London canal locale.

The map itself is fairly symmetrical. The area's that extend from the rest of the map near the upper-center are the spawn points. The Call of Duty blog post the gives us a look at Grime in MW3 has a handy interactable map, which allows you to toggle location names, the spawns, and event some objective areas.

Here are the main points of interest you'll want to know for callouts on Grime:




Alley (Kortac Spawn)



Arches (SpecGru Spawn)



SKN Comm



Tower Loop



West Dock




The map is loaded with narrow corridors and pathways, but they all lead to open areas and rooms. This provides plenty of chokepoints to set up ambushes, initiate assaults, or have that last stand against the enemy team.

























Tips provided for Grime in MW3 by Call of Duty



With all of that intel trapped within your brain now, you're ready for Grime in MW3. The Call of Duty blog can help you even further, where you can read all of their tips for the map. We've picked a few standouts to share here.

Full breakdown of Grime, a new map coming with MW3 Season 3 Reloaded

Get ready for a brand-new map in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. With MW3 Season 3 Reloaded, you can head to a sectioned off location from Rebirth Island, Checkpoint.






They've taken the Stronghold POI and turned it into a core 6v6 multiplayer map. We've got a breakdown of the location for you, so you can prepare to wreck shop when it launches.



When does Checkpoint release in MW3?



Checkpoint goes live as soon as MW3 Season Reloaded does. The roadmap of the season informed us of its arrival, and now it is here.



The mid-season update takes place on May 1, 2024. No matter where you are in the world or what platform you play on, the patch happens at 9 a.m. PT.



Information and tactical overview



Rebirth Island is a massive area for those who play the Warzone Battle Royale. Checkpoint in MW3, however, condenses it into one mid-sized arena. Let's take a closer look at the map.



(Image via Activision)



The upper walkways and communications tower have been sealed off in this version of the area. That shifts the focus to more ground-based combat. The top left and bottom right of Checkpoint in MW3 are the spawns, with plenty of fun to be had between them.

The Call of Duty blog post detailing the map has an interactable layout for you to toggle spawn names, points of interest, and objective points. Here are the main three points of interest you'll find:




Road



Roundabout



Checkpoint




A center courtyard is more than likely the place you'll make opening contact in a game. It is surrounded by buildings, such as a garage and a hangar. The mix of closed spaces and open lines of sight make Checkpoint a good map for players of all styles.

















Tips provided for Checkpoint in MW3 by Call of Duty



As they do with new maps coming into their games, Call of Duty provides a handful of tips for your success. The blog has double digit tips for you, but we've picked just a few of the ones that seem most

It isn't particular hard to unlock fishing in Stellar Blade. The toughest aspect of it is time. You have to play the game for a handful of hours, until you complete enough main story missions to reach the Great Desert.

Once you, Adam, and Lily travel to the Great Desert location, you can meet Clyde. Just head over to the small lake to the east of where your crew lands. Talk to Clyde, who isn't up for much a conversation. After, you can grab the fishing pole off to the side and take part in the minigame.

This begins the Looking Glass mission. You just have to successfully catch one fish, then Clyde will finally talk to you. Chat with him to learn his story, then you can truly begin fishing all around Stellar Blade after Looking Glass is completed and you've earned rewards, such as bate and Gold.

The Manor Lords combat system is unlike anything we have seen in a city builder thus far. The game utilizes RTS-style elements, where players must hire mercenaries or use their own citizens to form a militia to defend their homeland or expand to new territories. To get the best results out of each battle, and keep your settlement alive, here's our guide to combat in Manor Lords.

How does combat work in Manor Lords?



Manor Lords allows players to control and direct units in real-time, giving it a lot of the same feel as an RTS game. Players will need to use combat to defend themselves from attacking raiders and expand to new settlements.



To fight these battles, you'll need to hire mercenaries with the town's treasury and/or build your militia from the citizens of your settlement. To get a working militia, you'll need to make weapons or buy them from the trading post. For mercenaries, you will need to build up a treasury from taxes.






Once you have the necessary troops in place, you will be able to command them to move around, take or give position, and send them after enemy troops. This is the only way to claim new territory in the game, and also the only way to stop your settlement from being burned to the ground by raiders.



How to make weapons in Manor Lords 



The building blocks of any effective militia are its weapons. Players can build weapons of their own to supply the militia once they have upgraded a burgage to level 2. Once at this level, there will be options to convert those families into artisans who can create bows, shields, and spears for your militia. These are essential to getting started with combat in Manor Lords.

Creating weapons is vital to any hopes of expansion in the late-game, and will also help players get through those pesky raider attacks that happen every so

Everybody is talking about the Dota 2 Crownfall candle token that's missing for the "Lost and found" side quest. After progressing through the Overworld Map, players found out the "Always-closed Candlemaker's Shop" is the key to solving this puzzle. However, this encounter is not available after Act I.



This mission is not behind a paywall either. Buying the Midgate Pathfinder pack unlocks two extra side quests, with bonus rewards. Yet, the candle token is not one of them. Before the Act II releases, the maximum progression you can get is 52/53 missions complete. 



And yes, you're stuck with an incomplete number until the next patch. Unless you do some illegal modifications to the source code, of course. But, what did the community find out about this mystery? And what does Yurnero, the Juggernaut, have to do with all of this?



Lost and Found side quest, which requires the candle token, has a Juggernaut icon on it.






How to get the Dota 2 Crownfall Candle token?



The YouTuber Fay Dota Stuff posted a video on how to get the token through the developer console. As the user pointed out, he is not sure if this is safe to do, since Valve may detect this as a false-positive for cheating. Gladly, you don't have to do it with your own account to know that getting the token this way won't give you any new rewards.









After getting the candle token, entering the cave will show a single dialogue: "My name is Eldor the Wizard. This is my top secret room. Keep it between us, OK?"



Screenshot taken from Fay Dota Stuff YouTube video



The Candlemaker theories



The Dota 2 Crownfall Candle token is now the fuel to a number of theories made by the community. The aforementioned Eldor the Wizard recently appeared in the 7.33 "New frontiers" patch code.  The single line "new_frontiers_eldor_name": "Eldor the wizard" was supposed to be a simple Easter egg for data miners. But now it's an opportunity for the reddit user "sikleQQ" to connect it to the
