Get Free Fallout 76 Items For PS4–But Hurry

If you can feel your apocalyptic anticipation growing, it might be because Fallout 76 is gearing up for launch on PS4, Xbox One, and PC on November 14. If you’re a PS4 owner, you can grab a handful of free Fallout 76 items right now, whether you’ve pre-ordered the game or not. The items are only free between now and November 14, so time’s running out.

You can pick up your freebies right here. These include three Fallout 76 avatars, as well as a theme for your PS4. One avatar is a Nuka Cola cap, while the other two feature the smiling Vault Boy. He’s winking and giving a thumbs-up in one, and holding a shoulder-mounted rocket launcher in the other.

The theme decks out your PS4’s dashboard with Fallout 76 imagery. The background shows a close-up of a power armor helmet resting in the dirt of a dusty, post-apocalyptic world. In the background are a man and a woman wearing vault suits and holding weapons. The PS4 system icons are also changed to a fittingly dingy yellow style.

While you’re on the page to claim your freebies, you can also enter to win a copy of Fallout 76 Power Armor Edition–though you’ll have to do it between now and November 13. This special edition comes with the game, a steelcase, canvas duffel bag, wearable power armor helmet, glow-in-the-dark world map, and a collection of 24 Fallout figurines, plus additional digital items.

Fallout 76’s beta recently ended, with Bethesda promising a few tweaks and bug-fixes based on player feedback. Until our final Fallout 76 review goes live, you can read some of impressions of the beta and see what bonuses you might be eligible for if you pre-order before November 14.

Inside That ‘Heartbreaking’ Walking Dead Reveal

This article contains spoilers for The Walking Dead Season 9, episode 6, “Who Are You Now?” 

We caught a glimpse of the future (and a sassy new Judith) at the end of Rick’s final episode of The Walking Dead, but in episode 6 of Season 9, we actually get to explore the brave new world that our remaining characters now inhabit.

Some things are the same: Negan’s still in his cell; Henry’s still getting into trouble; Eugene is still the worst. Some things are very different: Carol has long hair; Daryl’s living in the woods like a hermit; Gabriel and Rosita are an item for some reason, and, oh yeah, Michonne and Rick have a baby.

WWE Survivor Series 2018: Rumors And Spoilers For The Raw Vs. Smackdown PPV

It is less than a week before WWE’s big fall event, Survivor Series. The PPV has the rosters of Raw and Smackdown fight each other to determine which is the dominant brand, and the vast majority of the matches will revolve around this theme.

We’ll see champions fighting champions with Brock Lesnar taking on AJ Styles and Ronda Rousey battling Becky Lynch. As of this writing, there will be no titles on the line as Survivor Series is all about brand supremacy. Is Raw or Smackdown the better show? Well, Smackdown is, no matter who wins.

This event is coming to the WWE Network and PPV on Sunday, November 18. The Staples Center in Los Angeles, California will host Survivor Series, which starts at 7 PM ET / 4 PM PT, and while a pre-show hasn’t been announced yet, we’re assuming a two-hour long Kickoff Show will open up the PPV.

The card is slowly coming together, and with the card come rumors from industry insiders, fan theories, and dream concepts that will never come to fruition. We scoured the internet for all the most plausible rumors that have people talking and found that there’s nothing too shocking planned for Survivor Series yet.

Below are the latest rumors for Survivor Series. We’ll keep you updated if anything changes or these get confirmed prior to the PPV.

Possible Tag Team Match

Newly crowned Raw Tag Team Champions, AOP, will more than likely take on Smackdown’s Tag Team Champions, The Bar. The match hasn’t been announced yet, but considering all the other champions are booked in Survivor Series matches, this seems like a no brainer. However, it may be relegated to the Kickoff Show.

UPDATE: The match was added.

Full Men’s Survivor Series Teams

According to PW Insider, the Raw vs. Smackdown Men’s match will contain Kurt Angle, Braun Strowman, Bobby Lashley, Drew McIntyre, and Dolph Ziggler on Raw’s team and Daniel Bryan, Samoa Joe, Rey Mysterio, The Miz, and Randy Orton on Smackdown’s team. Shane McMahon and Baron Corbin will work in opposite corners as managers for the event.

Shane Heel Turn

Shane McMahon will be using his Crown Jewel World Cup win as part of a heel turn, using the “Best in the World” monicker. This is all part of a long-time plan on Smackdown, according to Wrestling Observer.

Luke Harper Injured

The Bludgeon Brother is seen wearing a cast in a photo from comedian Brad Williams. That may explain why he hasn’t been on TV recently.

Why Strowman Isn’t The Champ

Most WWE fans were baffled at Brock Lesnar beating Braun Strowman at Crown Jewel. However, it may be because the Monster Among Men has a bunch of heat backstage. According to Wrestling Inc, Strowman doesn’t show up to work on time and has a bit of a reputation for leaving these same shows early. Additionally, he’s working with some knee injuries as well, which is why he looks a little awkward running around.

Why Bliss Won’t Be Wrestling At The PPV

You’ve probably noticed Alexa Bliss will not be competing at Survivor Series, as she’s now just the captain of the Raw women’s team. The reason why is because she may have had multiple concussions in a short period of time, with her last match being back on October 19, via Wrestling News. She’s not 100% out, but her actually fighting at the show is extremely unlikely.

Cross-Brand Attack!

Much like last year’s Survivor Series, there is a good change we could see members of Smackdown or Raw appear on the opposite shows this week, to help build some story for the Raw vs. Smackdown Survivor Series matches.

Make sure to come back to GameSpot on Sunday, November 18 for live coverage and a review of the event.

Updated: June 2018

Headsets are like any other PC accessory in that you can get by with a $50 option, but when you fork over a bit more cash you are really treated to a luxury experience. Though the sound quality might not be perceptibly better between a $50 headset and a $150 headset, we can guarantee the more expensive model will be in an entirely different league of comfort, will offer more features, and generally be easier to use and more robust as well. When you get into the $100+ range headsets go from cheap plastic stereo units to velvety-soft, sophisticated equipment with impressively engineered features, cross-platform compatibility, surround sound functionality, wireless operation, and more.
