One UI 9 introduces a fixed 13‑attempt PIN limit before a factory reset, removing the previous 20‑attempt option to curb brute‑force unlocking; the change applies to Galaxy Z Fold 8/8 Ultra and Galaxy Z Flip 8, with the Galaxy S26 in beta and a September stable release planned.
In Dragon's Dogma 2, players can access various vocations with unique combat and exploration abilities. Some vocations are available at the start, while others need to be unlocked. The Fighter, Archer, Thief, and Mage classes are unlocked by default, while others require completing specific quests or tasks. The Warrior and Sorcerer classes are unlocked by obtaining specific weapons, the Trickster class is unlocked by completing a quest, the Mystic Spearhand class is unlocked by talking to Sigurd in Dragonsbreath Tower, the Magick-Archer class is obtained by completing a quest in Agamen Volcanic Island, and the Warfarer class is unlocked by completing a quest in Volcanic Island Camp Hot Springs. Players can switch between vocations at Vocation Guilds and are encouraged to level up and earn discipline for their preferred classes.
Players can unlock the secret ending cutscene in the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet DLC by obtaining Briar's Book from Professor Briar after completing The Indigo Disk DLC. By taking the book to the Crystal Pool at Kitakami Island and reaching the pier on the lake inside the sleeping volcano, players can trigger the secret ending featuring Professor Turo or Sada, depending on the game version. Unlocking the true ending will change the menu screen and reveal Professor Turo's Violet Book on the table.
Google has made the set up process for Pixel Watch Unlock less obvious by placing it in the Settings app of Pixel phones. Users need to navigate to Settings > Security & privacy > Device unlock > Fingerprint & Face Unblock to enable Watch Unlock. However, Google warns that this method may be less secure and that the watch may unlock the phone even if it's out of reach. Only one wearable can be enabled at a time, and users cannot have Extend Unlock and Watch Unlock active simultaneously. Once set up, Watch Unlock can be triggered by swiping up on the lockscreen or tapping a notification.
Modern Warfare 3 has introduced a new LMG called the TAQ Eradicator ahead of the Season 1 update. To unlock it, players need to complete five weekly challenges, which can be done in multiplayer, zombies, or a combination of both. The challenges include tasks like getting operator kills, fury kills, and using the JAK Raven Kit. If the challenges are not completed before Season 1 begins, the LMG may become locked behind different challenges or an armory unlock. The TAQ Eradicator is reminiscent of the HAMR from Black Ops 2 and offers a larger magazine capacity.
To unlock the Throwing Star in Modern Warfare 3, players must reach Level 30 and unlock the Throwing Knife. They then need to get 50 kills with the Throwing Knife, which can be done quickly on fast-paced maps like the 24/7 Rust playlist. Once the kills are accumulated, the Throwing Star will unlock, functioning the same as the Throwing Knife but with added ninja flair.
