Favela has received a rework in Rainbow Six Operation North Star. Well, Ubisoft call it a “rework,” but it’s like an entirely new map from top to bottom. Here’s what you need to know. Favela was one of Siege’s most divisive casual maps. You could hear the collective groans of players when they loaded into the Brazilian map ⁠— no different to loading into Yacht or, god forbid, Skyscraper. However, the new Favela is an interesting and enjoyable casual map with a surprising amount of depths.

On paper, that’s an exceptional amount of money, but there’s a lot of deductions to consider too. Thanks to some dedicated Ludwig fans, we have a much better idea of how much he actually made. Every subscription on Twitch costs at least $4.99, and the highest tier is $24.99. Of course, the full amount doesn’t make it to the broadcaster to start with, as Twitch itself takes a slice.

With September marking the commencement of Suicide Awareness Month, Apex Legends has decided to release a badge commemorating those who continue to struggle with mental health, and those who have lost loved ones to suicide.

You can skip the catch animation entirely, which by our estimations can save you up to 20 seconds (if you include appraisal and so forth).
