Where to find the Skunk Gun in the Callisto Protocol

By

The Callisto Protocol is ridiculously difficult at times, especially if you run out of ammo. Your Stun Baton works okay at first, but unless you upgrade it, this melee weapon still takes several strikes to eliminate foes. To aid you on your journey, we recommend getting your hands on the Skunk Gun, a small hybrid between a pistol and a shotgun. This optional weapon comes in handy, especially before you acquire more powerful weapons later on.

Unfortunately, it’s easy to miss this weapon, but thankfully, the game gives you two opportunities to get your hands on it. Here’s where to find the Skunk Gun in The Callisto Protocol.

Where to find the Skunk Gun in Chapter 3: Aftermath

Fuse on ground in The Callisto Protocol.

The earliest you can obtain the Skunk Gun Schematic is in the third chapter, Aftermath. Play until you’re required to access the Shu, and you’ll eventually find a fuse in front of a gate that leads to Workshop 0302. Instead of placing the fuse in the door that leads to the Shu, go back the way you came, then climb up onto the upper level, then back down, past the spiky walls.

Wrap around and you’ll pass the D4 Basement Storage sign on the wall, climb up onto the platform, then drop down on the other side, past the D4 Storage Sign. Straight ahead is a control switch that requires a fuse. Place the fuse into the panel, then activate it to open the gate. Head inside, through the vent in the wall, and you’ll find the Skunk Gun Schematic on a table to the right.

Where to find the Skunk Gun in Chapter 4: Habitat

A second Skunk Gun Schematic is found in the fourth chapter, titled Habitat. Play until you reach the objective that requires you to reach the biodome, which triggers after you go down an elevator. You’ll know you’re in the right place if you can see Jupiter in the background. Make your way into the Oxygen Processing area after destroying the patrolling robot.

Once inside the Oxygen Processing area, you’ll see an upgrade station on your right, a locked door ahead, and Botanical H624 to the left. Head left into the Botanical H624 area, and make your way past the rotating containers with plants in them. Continue all the way to the very end, and take a right into the Utility Hall H626 area.

Here, you’ll see a chest on your left and a narrow path you can squeeze through on your right. Head right, squeeze through the path, and you’ll be attacked by a small alien. The Skunk Gun Schematic will be on the right on top of a crate. Take it back to the upgrade station and purchase the weapon for 800 credits.

How to revive dead companions in Baldur’s Gate 3
Withers offering services to the player in Baldur's Gate 3.

You're given a good bit of leeway during battles in Baldur's Gate 3 before you or a companion actually bites the dust for good. While in battle, if a teammate does take enough damage to drop, they aren't dead then and there. Instead, they will be downed with a chance to roll every turn to get back up. If they roll successfully three times, the battle ends, or you use another character to pick them up, they're good. If they fail that roll three times, however, they will be completely dead. That can be harsh when you've become attached to certain characters and want to further their stories, so you'll be looking for any way you can to bring them back. Thankfully you do have a few options for reviving companions in Baldur's Gate 3, but just like respeccing, they aren't so obvious.
Pay Withers to bring them back

Withers is a friendly undead you can find in a secret room in the Dank Crypt found inside the Overgrown Ruins. After finding and speaking to him in his sarcophagus, he will offer you various services, one of which is bringing back any dead companions. He won't do this out of the kindness of his heart (probably because it isn't beating) and will charge you a heavy fine of 200 gold to do so. Still, that's a small price to pay to bring back a beloved character. Once paid, that character will appear in your camp where they would normally be, so there's no need to go back to their corpse and find them.

Every video game delay that has happened in 2023 so far
The player skates toward the moon in Skate Story.

Few things feel as inevitable in the video game industry as delays. Ever since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, game delays have only become more and more common as developers find previously set timelines unrealistic and adjust their release plans accordingly. More than halfway through 2023, we've already seen some notable AAA games like Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Skull & Bones, and Pragmata delayed pretty heavily. Because video game release date delays are so common, it can be tough to keep track of every game that has had its launch date shifted in some way.
That's why, just as we did in 2021 and 2022, Digital Trends is rounding up every game delay that's announced throughout 2023. Here are the high-profile ones that have happened so far, listed chronologically by their new intended release dates.
The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR (March 16)

As Until Dawn: Rush of Blood is one of the best games for PlayStation VR, The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR, Supermassive Games' PlayStation VR2 successor, is a highly anticipated launch title for the upcoming VR headset. Unfortunately, it will no longer make PlayStation VR2's February 22 launch and will instead be released on March 16. On Twitter, a message from Supermassive Games says this delay will ensure that players "receive the most polished, terrifying experience possible" at release. The game was released on that date to mixed reviews.

Is Remnant 2 cross-platform?
Three characters shoot at a boss in Remnant 2.

Aside from the focus on firearms and integrating some randomly generated environments, the Remnant series sets itself apart from other souls-like games mainly with its focus on co-op. Both titles encourage you to team up with two friends to fight your way through the mutated monsters that await. After so many years of progress in terms of multiplatform games incorporating full cross-platform support, you might assume Remnant 2 will follow suit and let you make a group with anyone regardless of what platform they're on. However, the truth may be a bit more disappointing. Before you make plans with your squad, here's what you need to know about Remnant 2's cross-platform support.
Is Remnant 2 cross-platform?

Unfortunately, Remnant 2 does not have cross-platform play between PS5, Xbox Series X or PC -- and there's no word about it being added in the future.
