We’ve Taken Mastery some of PS4’s most popular, and longest-loading titles, and put them to the test on PS5’s SSD. Do note, to get the most out of PS4 titles on PS5, the games have to be installed on the PS5’s SSD. You can still play PS4 games off an external HDD, but you won’t get the load time benefits.


The primary perk on which Guardians should focus for the Avalanche’s Destiny 2 PvE god roll is Auto-Loading Holster. Upon emptying the weapon’s magazine, players can put the Avalanche away and use one of their other weapons to take out enemies while the machine gun is automatically reloaded over time. This allows fans to keep dishing out damage with their other firearms and not have any downtime going through a slow reload animation. Buffs can help reload speed, but reloading becomes unnecessary with Auto-Loading Hols


Therefore, Guardians need some long-range capabilities while also being formidable at medium and close ranges. For this purpose, both PC and console players will want a Glacioclasm with Hammer-Forged Rifling. Smallbore becomes a bit irrelevant in PvP, as special ammo is not abundant. Players typically only start out with two rounds of energy weapon ammunition in PvP, acquiring more by defeating Guardians who still have special ammo and picking up what they drop, which is not much. Thus, stability is unnecessary, as players will not be volley firing. Range w


To earn the Title, players will need to collect every weapon, armor piece, and item in the Raid, complete the Raid at least 7 times using different weapons, and complete all the available challenges and Triumphs. Though the Deep Stone Crypt is not one of the most difficult Raids to complete, the volume of tasks required to earn the Title, as well as the complexity of some of the individual activities, can make Descendant one of the harder-fought Titles to unlock. Here's everything players need to do to unlock the Descendant Title in Destiny 2: Beyond Lig


For the Triumphs that require a certain Subclass to count, players will need to make sure they have that Subclass equipped prior to the start of a Raid Encounter. For these Subclass-specific triumphs, teams can still have a mix of Hunters, Warlocks, and Titans, as this will not detract from the Triu


Earning Titles in Destiny 2 _ requires a lot of determination and patience, and each one can be something of a grind whether they are timed or simply consist of many difficult activities and steps. Titles appear in purple under players in _Destiny 2 and indicate that player completed a set of in-game Triumphs. Essentially, they are a mark of prestige when playing with others. Mastering the Deep Stone Crypt Raid in the Beyond Light expansion will allow players to unlock the Descendant Title. This is one of the more difficult Titles to earn and will likely take players some t


The Avalanche is the machine gun players can acquire during 2020’s The Dawning seasonal event. When players bake one of the Destiny 2 holiday recipes available to them and deliver the treat to the appropriate ally, they have a chance to receive A Gift in Return. This box resides in gamers’ inventory tab and functions as a legendary engram when ope

The PS4’s swan song, Ghost of Tsushima dazzled us with its beautiful world, which took some time to load. Unfortunately, playing the game off the SSD on PS5 doesn’t impact the loading times. Despite launching a patch that optimizes the game for PS5, it does not appear that the SSD plays much of a factor. It’s extremely odd as loading has benefited every other PS4 game tested.


Lastly, gamers will want High-Impact Reserves for the gun’s final perk. This roll is one of the most difficult to get for the Avalanche, but it is worth it once obtained. The High-Impact Reserves perk makes rounds at the end of the magazine deal more damage, which is crucial in PvP content. Given the low amount of heavy ammo available in the Crucible, players will almost always be at the end of their magazine with the Avalanche. Thus, High-Impact Reserves guarantees some brutal h


Finally, the High-Impact Reserves perk comes into play. Since special ammo is at a premium in PvP, meaning players are almost always low on the commodity, High-Impact Reserves increases the damage done when low on ammo. Combine this innate damage boost with the range provided by Hammer-Forged Rifling, Projection Fuse, and Slideshot, and Glacioclasm becomes a bit of a monster, especially for characters with a lot of mobility. Unsuspecting opponents will rue the day they underestimated Glaciocl
