To make a pie in Grow a Garden, you’ll need apples, pumpkins, and corn. You’ll also need a Giant Pinecone for some reason. Pumpkins appear to be the perfect base for a pie. Experiment by tossing similar fruits and vegetables in with a pumpkin, and you might just make a pie.
If you’ve been around the garden for a while, you’ll have a much easier way to make pies in Grow a Garden-the Moon Melon. Stick one of these in the pot after a pumpkin and you’ll have a GaG pie recipe with only two ingredients.
Is the Prismatic Pie recipe worth it?
Unless you happen to have bone blossoms, the prismatic pie recipe isn’t likely to be worthwhile. Want to try anyway? Toss these crops into the can by the big pig:
This Pokémon can evolve into any Pokémon that evolves from Eevee if you play it from your hand onto this Pokémon. (This Pokémon can’t evolve during your first turn or the turn you play it.)
This just sounds like how evolution works in the card game?
We begin with the poster Pokémon of this set: Eevee EX. Thematically, it headlines the expansion but when it comes to battle, it is probably the weakest EX card until now. Its only flavor is its ridiculously named ability, Veevee ‘volve, by virtue of which Eevee EX can be evolved into any Eeveelution, EX card or not.
It sounds like the card being an ex card changes how evolution works, but I tried to look into it and all I could find was this:
A Pokemon ex card can be played in the same way as Pokemon cards. Basic Pokemon ex cards can be played right away without evolving them, while Stage 1 and Stage 2 Pokemon ex cards require sending their previous forms in the field before they can be played.
Some effects state that damage “can’t be prevented.” If unpreventable damage would be dealt, any applicable prevention effects are still applied to it. Those effects won’t prevent any damage, but any additional effects they have will take place. Existing damage prevention shields won’t be reduced by damage that can’t be prevented.
When is the Battlefield 6 beta? As well as unveiling some explosive multiplayer gameplay, the Battlefield 6 beta dates have also been revealed by EA. Before it launches later this year, everyone will get a couple of opportunities to give Battlefield 6 a spin, and there’s some early access on offer for some players as well.
The Battlefield 6 release date isn’t that far away now, with the highly anticipated shooter dropping in October. Promising a multiplayer experience stuffed with classic modes, a flexible approach to classes, and a new environmental destruction system, it could genuinely challenge this year’s new Call of Duty game, Black Ops 7. In the build-up to launch, you’ll be able to try Battlefield 6 for free thanks to two open betas, and they’re just around the corner.
Battlefield 6 beta dates
The first Battlefield 6 beta weekend will run between Thursday, August 7, and Sunday, 10 August. The first two days will require early access privileges, but the final two days will be completely open for all players.
The second Battlefield 6 beta weekend starts on Thursday, August 14, and wraps up on Sunday, August 17. There is no early access period for this one – it’ll be open to all for the entire duration.
Both beta weekends will be accessible for players on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
How to get Battlefield 6 beta early access
There are two different ways to get early access for the first Battlefield 6 beta weekend – being a Battlefield Labs participant, or through Twitch Drops.
Those who have already been testing the game through the Battlefield Labs initiative will be granted instant access to the first beta weekend. If you weren’t a playtester, your only other port of call is to watch partnered streamers on Twitch to earn early access privileges through Battlefield 6 Twitch Drops.
How to pre-load the Battlefield 6 beta
If you managed to snag yourself a code for the upcoming closed beta, you can pre-load the game from August 4 to save yourself any faff on the day it goes live. To pre-load the Battlefield 6 beta, you must first ensure that your account is correctly linked to your platform of choice using this link.
Once you’re linked, search for ‘Battlefield 6 Open Beta’ in the search bar of your client (EA App, for instance). Once you have located the beta version of BF6, you should be able to download it and be 100% ready for action once the 7th rolls by.
If you can’t wait for the beta to arrive, get a feel of how things are shaping up with our hands-on Battlefield 6 preview. Alternatively, go and play some of the older entries – they’re some of the best FPS games ever made.
Destiny 2 players have been begging for a shooting range to test their builds ever since the Tribute Hall was removed back in Shadowkeep. Bungie has finally delivered in The Edge of Fate. It doesn’t disappoint either, offering everything you could want from such a feature, allowing you to damage test with your various builds to get just the right damage and rotations.
While impressive, the Shooting Range can be a little overwhelming at first. There’s a lot to it, and learning how to make the most of it all is essential to ensure you’re optimising all the information you can glean from it. However, if you can master it, it will make you an infinitely better player, so it’s well worth understanding. Here’s everything you need to know.
The Escapist recaps
Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate was released on July 15th, 2025.
The expansion kicks off a new saga for the Destiny narrative, called ‘the Fate Saga’.
In Destiny, big damage numbers are what every self-respecting Guardian wants, and the Shooting Range lets you hone that process.
This new feature is excellent for trying new ideas and putting your new builds to the test
The Shooting Range is full of great options, but it can be overwhelming to get your head around all of it.
Rally Flag
This work just as you’d imagine any rally flag might. Image credit: Bungie
The first thing you’ll want to do is rally at the flag found on the right side of the Shooting Range. Doing so will refresh your abilities and give you max ammo for all of your weapons. Using this does not consume any Raid Banners, so feel free to rally as many times as you want.
Prismatic Wellspring
This is your one-stop to activate transcendence. Image credit: Bungie
While rallying resupplies almost everything, it won’t give you Transcendence. For that, you’ll need to stand in the Prismatic Wellspring on the left of the entrance to build up both Darkness and Light energy.
This can be utilized on both Prismatic builds and other subclasses, but the energy will decay rapidly unless you are using Prismatic. After entering Transcendence, you deal 5% more damage, take 20% less damage, gain access to a class-specific grenade, and have significantly increased ability regen.
Self-damaging Laser
In some instances, being low health can activate perks, so using this, you can test those numbers out. Image credit: Bungie
Directly opposite the Flag Rally, you’ll find a self-damaging laser that can be used to lower your health quickly. This is useful for testing the effects of perks or Exotics that are only relevant when you have reduced health, like Heal Clip and Mechaneer’s Tricksleeves.
Enemy Factions
Want to test your build against a specific enemy action? Here’s how you choose that. Image credit: Bungie
To the left of the Shooting Range, you’ll see a board with the symbols of eight different enemy factions. Shooting these symbols will spawn enemies from that faction, allowing you to test out your build against one of the following: Cabal, Dread, Fallen, Hive, Scorn, Taken, Vanguard Training, and Vex.
Notably, the bottom right symbol spawns Target Frames that have infinite health. This is ideal for DPS testing, as they can never die regardless of how much damage you deal. In contrast, most other enemy types have limited health and won’t be much use for figuring out what DPS rotation works best.
Enemy Options
This is excellent for using your build against enemies who actually want to hurt you. Image credit: Bungie
To the right of the Shooting Range, you’ll see a different board with three symbols. Activating these will trigger various effects, with the first symbol resetting your DPS Scoreboard, the second symbol activating enemy behaviour, and the third symbol clearing all combatants from the range.
Combatant Selection
Choosing the right enemy for the right test is important. Image credit: Bungie
There are five large plinths scattered throughout the Shooting Range that can be used to spawn specific types of enemies. To use these, interact with them after choosing any Enemy Faction except for Vanguard Training. For example, you could select Vex and then use these plinths to spawn in Goblins, Minotaurs, or Wyverns.
Not only does this let you test out your build against a range of combatants, but your damage dealt also takes into account each enemy’s unique traits. For example, most bosses take around 30% less damage from weapons, which is accurately reflected in the Shooting Range.
DPS Scoreboards
Knowing how much damage you’re doing is very important when it comes to finding your best builds. Image credit: Bungie
Hanging above the Shooting Range, there is a large scoreboard that tracks damage per second (DPS) and total damage (DMG). This is one of the most important features in this area, as it allows you to test and compare the potency of different builds, weapons, and perks against one another.
Additionally, there are six smaller boards found below the large board. These track DPS and DMG for up to six different Guardians in the Shooting Range. This is convenient for Fireteams looking to test their team damage and the specific impact of various buffs and debuffs that are more team-oriented.
Display Distance on Target
Sometimes distance matters to your damage, so this is a great way to put it to the test. Image credit: Bungie
This panel is found on the far left of the Shooting Range and can be toggled to show how far away an enemy is when you aim at them. The main use for this is for testing PvP weapons, as understanding damage fall-off in the Crucible is essential to becoming a better player.
Single Combatant
This is the panel you’ll want to hit if you want to go against one enemy. Image credit: Bungie
This panel is also found on the left of the Shooting Range, and activating it spawns in a single combatant of your choosing. More specifically, the enemy that spawns will always match the Enemy Faction and Combatant Selection previously set.
Combatant Wave
It’s not all boss damage; at times, you’re likely going to want to see if your build can deal with many enemies. Image credit: Bungie
Found on the right-hand side of the Shooting Range, this panel spawns in a wave of combatants of your choosing. Much like the Single Combatant panel, the enemies that spawn will match the Enemy Faction and Combatant Selection previously set.
Champion Combatant
Champions are always tough, so making sure you can deal with them goes a long way. Image credit: Bungie
This panel is located on the far right of the Shooting Range, and activating it will spawn a Champion based on whatever Enemy Faction is selected. Interacting with this panel multiple times cycles between Barrier, Overload, and Unstoppable Champions, with each faction having access to at least two of these.
More so than anything else, this can be used to figure out exactly what stuns you have access to on a given build. It’s especially handy for figuring out if Anti-Champion artifact mods work with whatever Exotic or weapon you want to use, which isn’t always as obvious as you would think.
Ask The Escapist
Is the Shooting Range free for everyone?
Yes. The Shooting Range is available to all players, whether they have paid for any content or not. It exists in the Tower and is selectable through that menu.
Is this the first Shooting Range in Destiny 2?
Sort of. Back in Season of Oppulance, there was the Tribute Hall, which had some use as a Shooting Range. This is a far more extensive feature now, though.
When will the next expansion launch?
After The Edge of Fate, the next expansion, Renegades, is expected to launch on December 2, 2025.

611.3c Continuous effects that modify characteristics of permanents do so simultaneously with the permanent entering the battlefield. They don’t wait until the permanent is on the battlefield and then change it. Because such effects apply as the permanent enters the battlefield, they are applied before determining whether the permanent will cause an ability to trigger when it enters the battlefield.
Example: A permanent with the static ability “All white creatures get +1/+1” is on the battlefield. A creature spell that would normally create a 1/1 white creature instead creates a 2/2 white creature. The creature doesn’t enter the battlefield as 1/1 and then change to 2/2.
Threefold Thunderhulk will enter with three +1/+1 counters on it, and also get the +1/+1 from Anthem of Champions, meaning that it enters as a 4/4 creature, and so when its enters trigger resolves you will get 4 token creatures.
Even if this weren’t the case (e.g. if the anthem effect were applied as some kind of state-based action) then it would be fine – Thunderhulk is already on the battlefield once the trigger resolves, so it will definitely have 4 power at that point. However, it does mean that Thunderhulk will trigger, for example, Garruk’s Uprising, which says
Whenever a creature you control with power 4 or greater enters, draw a card.
because its power is equal to 4 as it enters which wouldn’t be the case if rule 611.3c worked differently.
A creature cast with the impending cost with time counters on it is just a regular enchantment permanent.
A spell cannot be on the stack for multiple turns
In Magic: the Gathering, each turn is divided into a sequence of steps, and each step can only end if the stack is empty. This means that any spell must leave the stack, either by resolving or by being countered, in the same step in which it is cast. So, no spell can ever be on the stack in a turn after the one in which it was cast, and you cannot ever counter a spell that was cast in a previous turn.
“Not a creature” does not mean “not a permanent”
The impending ability says that if you pay the impending cost, the object is “not a creature” as long as it has a time counter on it. “Creature” is just a card type, like “artifact” or “enchantment”. If an effect says that something is “not a creature”, that just means that it doesn’t have the creature type, or any associated subtypes, or power and toughness. Nothing else about it changes; if it would otherwise be a permanent, it’s still a permanent, just one that isn’t a creature.
702.176a. Impending is a keyword that represents four abilities. The first and second are static abilities that function while the spell with impending is on the stack. The third is a static ability that functions on the battlefield. The fourth is a triggered ability that functions on the battlefield. “Impending N–[cost]” means “You may choose to pay [cost] rather than pay this spell’s mana cost,” “If you chose to pay this spell’s impending cost, it enters with N time counters on it,” “As long as this permanent’s impending cost was paid and it has a time counter on it, it’s not a creature,” and “At the beginning of your end step, if this permanent’s impending cost was paid and it has a time counter on it, remove a time counter from it.” Casting a spell for its impending cost follows the rules for paying alternative costs in rules 601.2b and 601.2f-h.
All of the existing cards with the Impending ability are Enchantment Creature cards, so if one of them is cast by paying its impending cost, it resolves just like any other permanent spell, except that as long as it has a time counter on it, it is just an Enchantment. It can be interacted with just like any other Enchantment. A counterspell targets spells on the stack, and this is a permanent on the battlefield, so they do not interact. Terror targets creatures, and this is not a creature, so they do not interact. Naturalize, for example, targets enchantments, so it could interact with one of these permanents.
VPNs make big privacy claims, but not all providers can back them up. It takes an audit to add veracity to important features like no logging and working kill switches, and ExpressVPN has just endured its 23rd self-inflicted assessment of its VPN service.
Commissioning independent cybersecurity experts KPGM to scrutinize its VPN, the audit focused on the ExpressVPN TrustedServer system. These are driveless servers, meaning that there is literally no hard disk drive, no SSD, no optical drive – nothing. Instead, they run purely on RAM, with a code block for the OS and VPN framework. So, when a server is rebooted, all data is lost.
While you might think that a VPN’s audit status isn’t particularly relevant to which gaming VPN you use, it really is. Privacy for accessing specific servers, as well as defense against targeted attacks from other players, are both very important. All top VPNs use auditing on a semi-regular basis, at least annually, making it a very important tool for ensuring the provider’s security.
“Independent assurance isn’t just a checkbox for us – it’s fundamental in our efforts towards trust and transparency,” says ExpressVPN’s chief information security officer, Aaron Engel. We’ve long considered ExpressVPN to be one of the best VPNs around, and once again, an audit backs this assertion.
Engel added: “Having KPMG evaluate our technologies and assess our privacy protections again demonstrates our unwavering commitment to maintaining the highest standards of user privacy protection.” The audit results mark each test as “no exceptions noted,” which is good news for privacy.
Alongside the audit, ExpressVPN has also confirmed the launch of new VPN servers in every US state. It now boasts 62 server locations in the USA, a huge increase from 24, and more than competitor NordVPN, which only has 22 locations in 12 states.
This has advantages both to the VPN provider and its customers. More servers mean the load is spread, which increases speed. In some cases, they’re closer to where users are located, again improving speed. ExpressVPN has added servers to popular areas such as Los Angeles and New Jersey, too.
Not all states have physical servers; however, virtual location servers – those with an IP address and locale information relating to a specific location – work in the same way. More US-based servers aren’t particularly useful for anyone outside the US, but sports fans can take advantage of these new VPN servers to avoid localized region-blocking of events.
It’s why we recommend choosing ExpressVPN, which remains a top choice for gaming. While it’s a bit pricier than some of the other options on our list, our 2023 ExpressVPN review awarded it a 9/10 score, saying that the provider is “the best on the market right now.”
Suppose Player A’s Sporogenic Infection enters enchanting Player B’s Nine-Lives Familiar, and its ETB triggered ability is put onto the stack targeting Player B. Player B responds by casting Back to Nature, destroying Sporogenic Infection. When Sporgenic Infection’s ETB triggered ability resolves, can Player B sacrifice Nine-Lives Familiar?
The best candidate for relevant rule seems to be…
608.2h If an effect requires information from the game (such as the number of creatures on the battlefield), the answer is determined only once, when the effect is applied. If the effect requires information from a specific object, including the source of the ability itself, the effect uses the current information of that object if it’s in the public zone it was expected to be in; if it’s no longer in that zone, or if the effect has moved it from a public zone to a hidden zone, the effect uses the object’s last known information. See rule 113.7a. If an ability states that an object does something, it’s the object as it exists—or as it most recently existed—that does it, not the ability.
I am unclear on the how to apply the phrase “requires information from a specific object.” In my own attempt to arrive at an answer, two distinctions arose…
About which object(s) does the effect require information? Does it look at the creature and view “being enchanted by Sporogenic Infection” as information about that creature? Does it look at the enchantment and view “enchanting Nine-Lives familiar” as information about that enchantment? Does it look at both the creature and the enchantment?
Does the phrase “other than enchanted creature” refer to whichever object(s) the effect ultimately looks at intensionally or extensionally, for example, in the case that the effect will look at just the creature, does the effect say “hey game, give me information about Nine-Lives Familiar” (intensional) or “hey game, give me information about the creature which has the property of being enchanted by Sporogenic Infection”?
If the creature is the sole object of query, and if “other than enchanted creature” refers intensionally, then Nine-Lives Familiar is in the public zone it is expected to be in, thus its current information should be used, and as it is no longer enchanted by Sporogenic Infection, it should be legal for Player B to sacrifice Nine-Lives Familiar. If the creature is the sole object of query, but if instead “other than enchanted creature” refers extensionally, then the game will not find any creature which has the property of being enchanted by Sporogenic Infection, and will have to use last known information to find the creature which has that property, and thus it should be illegal for Player B to sacrifice Nine-Lives Familiar. By similar logic, if the enchantment is the object of focus, then regardless of the intensional VS extensional distinction, it should be illegal for Player B to sacrifice Nine-Lives Familiar. If both the creature and the enchantment are objects of query, then more explanation may be warranted.
What is the right way to interpret and apply this rule? An ideal answer would obviously describe the mechanics which address the broadest category of phrases possible, but if such consistency is not to be found, then at least how does it apply to the phrase “other than enchanted creature” as in the above case?
