We’re likely just a year away from new consoles, but there’s still plenty of reasons to get in on the current-generation, with games like Marvel’s Spider-Man, God of War, and the upcoming The Last of Us Part II. If you’re in the market for some top-notch PS4 games, then there’s a pretty great PS4 Pro bundle for $380 USD that’s worth checking out from Newegg.

For $380 USD, you get a PS4 Pro, DualShock 4, and a year’s worth of PlayStation Plus. The regular price of a PS4 Pro is $400, while a PlayStation Plus subscription normally costs $60. PlayStation Plus gets you two free PS4 games a month and is required for most games with multiplayer, including Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Borderlands 3–free-to-play games like Fortnite, Apex Legends, and Warframe don’t require Plus for online play.

While the next PlayStation console is expected in 2020, there are still a bunch of games coming to PS4 this year and next. If you’re interested in seeing our PS4 favourites and what’s coming in the future, check out our lists below.

How to beat Killavolt in Borderlands 3 with as little pain as possible.

Remember way back in 2014 when people discovered a loot cave in the original Destiny? It was this magical place where you could take advantage of the game’s systems to quickly acquire a surplus of rare loot. Well, Borderlands 3 kind of has one of those.

In this case, players discovered a way to exploit the level design for one of Borderlands 3’s areas to get an enemy to respawn over and over again to increase the drop rate for random legendary weapons. The farming method was first discovered by Reddit user Nordor222.

First off, to fully take advantage of this exploit, you’ll need to beat Borderlands 3’s campaign and unlock its endgame content. In the endgame, you unlock Mayhem Mode, which allows you to crank the difficulty of Borderlands 3 in a variety of ways. Mayhem Mode also increases your chances of getting a legendary loot drop though, so push it up to Mayhem Level 3 at the Sanctuary III console.

Once that’s done, fly to Eden-6 and fast travel to the Jakob’s Estate. Head to the location that’s marked on the image below. You’ll know you’re in the right place when you see a group of bandits. Among them should be a purple-tinged loot tink. He’ll have a pretty hefty shield–one amplified by Mayhem Mode–so bring out your strongest shock weapon to take the tink down. Maybe grab an incendiary weapon too, both to deal with the tink once its shield is gone as well as the group of bandits that spawn in to protect him.

This tink already gives you pretty good loot, but with the bonuses provided by Mayhem Level 3, he’ll spit out a few purple and yellow items as you take him down. If you defeat him, you can open his backpack, which will typically spew out a few pieces of legendary loot and some phenomenal very rare items. Once you’ve grabbed all you can carry, warp back to the Jakob’s Estate fast travel point, quit to the main menu, reload the game, and head back to the tink’s spawn location. He’ll be back and carrying a brand-new set of legendary items for you to loot. Just repeat the process for as many times as you please.

Keep in mind, Gearbox may already know about this exploit and they could be working on a fix for it right now. When players discovered the loot cave in the original Destiny, Bungie shut that down in days. Given how this exploit essentially removes the need to do any of Borderlands 3’s endgame content, we imagine Gearbox will want to remove it at some point before the raid boss is added. So act now if you want to take advantage. Just think, what you see below could be yours.

Borderlands 3 players have discovered an exploit along the lines of Destiny’s loot cave, offering an easy way to farm Legendary weapons. Here’s where it’s located–just don’t expect it to be in a loot cave.

If you’ve been playing Borderlands 3, you’ve probably been hearing a lot of talk about Shift Codes. These are limited-time codes you can use to potentially earn Golden Keys that unlock the Golden Chest in Sanctuary for high-tier loot. They can also net you unique cosmetics for your character.

Shift Codes are often distributed via Gearbox’s newsletters or social media accounts. During the game’s launch weekend, Gearbox’s Randy Pitchford shared a Shift Code on Twitter. This code has since expired, but there are still several active Shift codes making the rounds.

Below you can find a list of every working Shift Code so far and its respective prize. We recommend redeeming them as soon as possible, as they’re likely to expire sooner than later. Be sure to check back often as we’ll be updating this feature with even more Shift Codes.

Shift Codes

• ZFKJ3-TT3BB-JTBJT-T3JJT-JWX9H (3 Golden Keys)
• HXKBT-XJ6FR-WBRKJ-J3TTB-RSBHR (1 Golden Key)
• ZFKJ3-TT6FF-KTFKT-T3JJT-JWX36 (1 Golden Key)
• Z65B3-JCXX6-5JXW3-3B33J-9SWT6 (1 Golden Key)
• 9XCBT-WBXFR-5TRWJ-JJJ33-TX53Z (1 Golden Key)
• ZRWBJ-ST6XR-CBFKT-JT3J3-FRXJ5 (1 Golden Key)

To redeem a code, go to input it in the Shift Codes section in the game’s social menu. You can also login to the Borderlands VIP site to redeem Shift Codes. You can then acquire what you’ve unlocked from your mailbox one tab over. While it’s not easy to predict when Gearbox will share new Shift Codes, we’ll likely get more soon during the upcoming free Halloween-themed Bloody Harvest event scheduled for this October.

We’ve also prepared a useful guide on which character you should choose before starting the game. But for everything else, read our roundup of all things Borderlands 3.

In our Borderlands 3 review, author Jordan Ramee gave the game an 8/10 and said, “Borderlands 3 has a few stumbling blocks when it comes to bosses, but these fights are overshadowed by the game’s rewarding gunplay and over-the-top humor. The game’s character-driven narrative acts as a satisfying finale for the loot-shooter franchise, and the new mechanics and features–especially the reworked skill trees and weapon manufacturer effects–give you plenty of agency in how you want to play through it. If you’ve never been a fan of the franchise, it’s unlikely Borderlands 3 does enough things differently to change your mind, as the game best excels at continuing what the series has always done: deliver a humorous tall tale of misfits looting and shooting their way to heroism.”

After reportedly shipping 100 million units worldwide, it’s been revealed that the PlayStation 4 has shipped more than 30 million units in the United States.

Sony has officially announced what we’re calling the PlayStation 5. While no release date has been pinned down and a lot of questions remain unanswered, we’ve compiled a handy guide to help you sift through all the information we know about Sony’s upcoming next-generation console. Further, Sony confirmed the PS5 will be backward compatible with PS4 games.

For now, with the PS5 steadily on the horizon, we’ve listed out the best PS4 games available right now. These include looter-shooter Borderlands 3, action-pinball rogue-lite Creature in the Well, action-adventure game Control, 2D fighter Samurai Shodown, and more.

The Borderlands series has always enjoyed making references or poking fun at other game franchises. Borderlands 3 is no exception, ranging from insulting Destiny’s engrams to praising Doom’s weapons. There’s even a reference to one of the more notable missions from its predecessor, Borderlands 2. Some of these references are even tied to guns, like the Mario-themed Compressing Superball.

A legendary Maliwan pistol, the Compressing Superball cannot switch elements like most of the guns made by the company–it solely fires incendiary bullets. Instead of the laserbeam, tri-shot, or rapid-fire bullets seen on other Maliwan guns, the Compressing Superball shoots a giant fireball that explodes on impact and deals splash damage.

The description for the gun reads “Flower power,” which is most likely in reference to the Super Mario Bros. series, where main protagonist Mario can gain the superpower to shoot fireballs out of his hands after consuming a fire flower. This isn’t the first Super Mario Bros. reference seen in the Borderlands franchise. The very first game included an Achievement/Trophy called “My Brother is an Italian Plumber” that you earn by killing an enemy by inflicting damage on them by jumping on their head.

Though the effect the Compressing Superball creates is cool-looking, the gun isn’t actually all that good. After the initial area of Pandora, you begin encountering a lot more enemies that wear shields or armor–increasing the value of shock and corrosive weapons while decreasing the utility of incendiary. Also, as a Maliwan gun, the Compressing Superball’s shot isn’t all that strong, which doesn’t pair very well with its slow fire rate.

We got our hands on a fun Super Mario Easter egg weapon, the Compressing Superball, in Borderlands 3 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
