Legendary weapons in Dead Island 2 are among the most powerful tools of destruction you can get your hands on. These come in a variety of types, but there's only one that's a revolver. The Big Shot is aptly named for just how much power this hand cannon is packing. Naturally, any Slayer will want to get their hands on it, but it isn't quite as simple as finding some of the other weapons in the game. Here's how you can become a big shot yourself by getting the Big Shot in Dead Island 2.

How to get the Big Shot

The major hurdle to getting the Big Shot in Dead Island 2 is that you can't get it until you've already beaten the entire main campaign. While it is a bummer that you can't use it to blast your way through the story, having it would make the game trivial, so its more of a nice reward than anything else.

Step 1: After beating the story, go to Emma's house.

Step 2: Speak to Luciana to get the "It's Not Your Fault" sidequest.

Step 3: Collect the note outside the sewers and head inside. You will need to find keys to unlock a series of seismographs.

Step 4: The first key you need to find is directly to your left when you enter Brentwood Sewer.

Step 5: The second key is past a dead scientist in the Venice Storm Tank.

Step 6: Head to the upper catwalks with the offices. The key is in the maintenance area.

Step 7: The final key is in the main storm tank in the lower area held by a seismologist zombie.

Step 8: After using each key on the seismographs, an earthquake will begin and send tons of zombies out.

Step 9: Escape back to the surface and go back to Luciana, who will reward you with the Big Shot Legendary revolver.

All Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 achievements
Senua stands ready near some drummers.

Ever since the Xbox 360 introduced the idea of Achievements, every game on the platform has included them. These tasks help show off how many games you play, but also your commitment to do and see everything in a specific game. Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 has quite a short list of Achievements compared to many other big-budget titles, but the focus of the game is more on the story and characters. Most Achievements will unlock through natural progression, but there are some that require extra work like hunting down collectibles or experimenting with different mechanics. If you want a full 1,000 Achievement points from Hellblade 2, these are all the things you need to do.

Warning: Many Achievements contain spoilers for the story. Read on at your own risk.

How to use Steam Family
A steam family library in Steam.

Steam has evolved a lot since it initially launched. What was once a simple storefront has developed into the largest PC gaming community in the world, with millions of people around the globe logging on and playing. Because Steam is a digital-only storefront, and games are tied to a single account, it did have a drawback when multiple people in a family wanted their own accounts. There were questions about parental controls, game sharing, and more, but Valve has been working away at a solution. Currently available in the Steam Beta, Steam Families offer a range of options and features that any household should look into. Let's dive into how it works and what you can do with it.
How to start a Steam Family

By opting in on the Steam Beta Client, you will have the option to create a Steam Family with up to five members that are either given an Adult or Child account status. Once set up, you can view and manage your family directly on Steam, on a browser, or via the mobile app. To access the steam beta, open Steam, select the Steam button, and go into Settings. From there, select Interface > Steam Families Beta under Client Beta Participation.
