Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II doesn’t feature any notable collectibles to find during your playthrough, but it does have a total of three safes that you’ll need to track down if you want to earn the Gentleman Thief trophy or achievement. Thankfully, these can be obtained via Chapter Select, so if you miss one during your initial playthrough, you can always go back and open it later. In this guide, we’ll tell you where to find all three safes.

Safe 1 — Mission 11: El Sin Nombre

At the beginning of Mission 11, you’ll exit an elevator and be given the ability to move about a mansion freely. Stay outside and wrap all the way around the right side of the mansion until you see a small balcony with an open door. Climb up to it using the nearby wall, enter the door, and then head left up the staircase. Head straight, and take a left at the small statue in front of you, then another right on the balcony area. Head straight again from there until you reach a door on the left. Enter the room, then wrap around to the right to see a closet that you can open to find the safe.

Safe 2 — Mission 13: Alone

In Mission 13, you’ll have to disarm a trap that will provide you with a shotgun. Immediately after this, head up the stairs and down the hallway until you can open a door. When you do, you’ll see a body fall to the floor and reach out to you. There’s nothing you can do, so move forward into the coffee shop and turn left to see a door that can be opened using a shiv. If you don’t have a shiv, grab materials around the area to craft one, then open the door to find the safe.

Combination: 10-10-80

Safe 3 — Mission 13: Alone

After finding the previous safe in Mission 13, leave the room and look for a broken section in the banister ahead and to the right. Drop down and head outside, going left at the white car in front of you. Open the blue door here to enter a garage, then walk into the second area here and check the left side for a door into an office. Inside, against the wall, is the third chest.

Combination: 37-60-80

What are Scadutree Fragments in Elden Ring?

Elden Ring is well-known for being an immensely challenging game for newbies and veterans alike, offering perilous locations to traverse, difficult bosses to fell, and plenty of PvP action to keep you on your toes. The Shadow of the Erdtree expansion continues this trend with an all-new map full of deadly secrets and dangerous enemies, so you'll want to go into it at a high level to ensure you're well-prepared for everything it throws at you.

However, while levels will definitely help you out, managing your difficulty level in the Land of Shadow is not as simple as just boosting your stats. Instead, you'll need to round up Scadutree Fragments throughout this new realm to gain a blessing that improves your defensive and offensive capabilities. Here's everything you need to know.
How Scadutree Fragments work
You'll find Scadutree Fragments scattered around the map in key places, such as in legacy dungeons or near some Sites of Grace. As you gather these, you can take them to any Site of Grace and choose the new option that allows you to enhance your Shadow Realm Blessing. Each time you upgrade this blessing, you'll do more damage to foes while taking less damage from their attacks.

What is Revered Spirit Ash in Elden Ring?

There's no denying that Elden Ring is a tough game with a lot of enemies and bosses that can really test your mettle. Luckily, alongside the ability to improve your weapons, you can also find a variety of Spirit Ashes that can be used to summon spirits to help you in battle. There are tons of these to choose from, and while some are objectively better than others at different things, even the worst ones can add a bit of extra survivability or damage output when you're in sticky situations.

While these Spirit Ashes can only be improved to level 10 in the base game, the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion allows you to increase their damage and defense even further when finding and using Revered Spirit Ash. Here's everything you need to know about Revered Spirit Ash.
How Revered Spirit Ash works
You'll discover multiple Revered Spirit Ash throughout your journey in the Land of Shadow. As you find them, you can take them to any Site of Grace and select to enhance your Shadow Realm Blessing, granting your Spirit Ashes the ability to deal and take more damage in combat.

5 great weapons you should try in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree

The hand-to-hand combat style in Shadow of the Erdtree.

Elden Ring certainly has no shortage of weapons in its base game, yet its long-awaited expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree, comes packing dozens more for players to uncover and add to their arsenal. Eight fresh weapon types have been added to the game with the DLC, meaning you'll be able to find all-new ways to take out foes — whether it's beating them down with dueling shields or slicing them to pieces with massive katanas. The very best weapon for you will be one that suits your playstyle and build, but we've compiled a list of our five favorites and why we think you should track them down for your collection.
Smithscript Greathammer

The Smithscript Greathammer looks like a pretty standard greathammer at a glance, but this new weapon — found in a ruined forge midway through the DLC — has a cool trick up its sleeve: It can be thrown. Think of this armament as a giant version of Thor's Mjölnir, as holding down its heavy attack sends you into a spin that ultimately throws the hammer at your foes and returns it to your hand almost immediately. This makes it a stellar choice for builds that focus mostly on bonking foes at melee range, giving you just a bit of ranged effectiveness when you really need to keep your distance.
