How to get Samurai Armor in Destiny 2?
(Image via Bungie) Ever dreamed of slicing through enemies in full-blown samurai drip? Destiny 2 just made that a reality with the Bushido Armor Set . And guess what? It's completely free ; no DLC required. Whether you're rocking Titan, Hunter, or Warlock, this armor turns you into a space-faring warrior with serious style. Here's exactly how to get your hands on it, fast. How to Get Samurai Armor in Destiny 2? If you want to get the Samurai Armor in Destiny 2, then here's what you need to do: Step 1: Head to 'The Portal' Open up the Destiny 2 Director and find 'The Portal.' It's your new go-to hub for a bunch of seasonal content. FREE SAMURAI ARMOR & How To Get It! - Destiny 2 Edge of Fate Step 2: Select 'Pinnacle Ops' Tab Inside The Portal, look for the 'Pinnacle Ops' tab. Every activity in here drops a Pinnacle Ops Gear Engram, and that's your ticket to scoring the samurai set. Step 3: Grind Those Missions Each run = 1 engram → Possible Bushido drop. Some missions drop more engrams, so keep an eye on the tab every Tuesday after reset (2 PM ET). No guaranteed full set on your first go, but don't stress, it's repeatable. Run it back and stack those drops. What Makes the Bushido Armor So Good? Alright, time for the perks. Because yeah, the armor looks clean, but it also hits hard. 2 Pieces Equipped = Iaido Perk Final blows with a just-drawn or freshly reloaded weapon = Health boost. It's aggressive and rewarding. Perfect for momentum-heavy PvE runs. 4 Pieces Equipped = Unfaltering Focus Perk Reduces incoming damage when using Shotguns, Bows, or Swords. Basically, you become harder to kill while using the flashiest weapons in the game. Win-win. Is It Worth the Grind? 100% yes. It's stylish. It's functional. It's free. Even if you're not into the whole samurai aesthetic, the perks alone make this armor worth chasing, especially if you play aggressive or solo. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Ready for a Glow-Up?

How to get Spinda Pattern 1 in Pokémon GO, and can it be Shiny?
(Image via Pokemon) Spinda might not be the strongest Pokémon in GO, but it's easily one of the quirkiest. Why? Because no two Spinda look the same. This spotty panda-like Pokémon comes in multiple patterns, and if you're hunting for Spinda Pattern 1 , the classic look with those signature face spots, here's exactly how to catch it, and whether you can get its shiny form. What Is Spinda 1 in Pokémon GO? Spinda comes in nine rotating spot patterns in Pokémon GO, and Spinda 1 is one of the original base forms. Each pattern has unique facial markings, giving trainers a fun collectible twist. These forms don't appear in the wild; instead, they're released through Field Research Tasks during special events or monthly rotations. You're *NOT* Ready for THIS Event | Ultra Unlock: Steel & Scales – Pokémon GO How To Get Spinda 1 (July 2025 Update) Looking for Spinda Pattern 1 right now? You're in luck. Spinda 1 is available in July 2025 as a Field Research reward during the Summer Concert event, running from July 19 to July 22. To get it: Spin PokéStops during the event. Look for Research Tasks that say: 'Make 5 Great Curveball Throws in a row.' Complete the task and you'll get a Spinda encounter as your reward. Cross your fingers for Pattern 1 (that's the only one available during this window). Remember: only Pattern 1 will drop during this event, no other forms. Can Spinda 1 Be Shiny? Yes, Spinda 1 can be shiny, but don't expect it to be easy. Spinda's shiny form was rolled out across all patterns, including Pattern 1. However, since Spinda is only available through Field Research (not wild spawns), the number of encounters is limited. You get only one shot per task, making shiny hunting much harder than with typical Pokémon. Tips to improve your odds Grind Research Tasks : Keep spinning PokéStops until you find the right one. Team Up & Trade : If you're lucky, a local Trainer may have a shiny Spinda 1 up for grabs. Use Daily Incense : While Spinda doesn't spawn via incense, it helps with overall encounters and rewards. Is Spinda 1 Worth Collecting? While it's not meta-relevant in battles, Spinda is a pure collector's flex. Pattern 1 is nostalgic, and getting the shiny version adds that extra sparkle to your Pokédex. If you're the type who loves rare finds and exclusive forms, this is a must-have. Spinda 1 is currently back in Pokémon GO, but only for a few days during the Summer Concert event. Complete the right Field Research, hope for a shiny, and grab this quirky panda while it's hot. Once it's gone, it may not return for months. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!

From poverty to Padma Shri: India's hockey queen Rani Rampal shares her inspiring journey
Rani Rampal shares her inspiring journey When you think of Indian women's hockey, one name shines the brightest – Rani Rampal . From humble beginnings in Haryana to becoming the face of Indian hockey and a Padma Shri awardee, Rani's story is one of sheer determination, grit, and breaking barriers. In the latest episode of Game On, a sports podcast by The Times of India, host Preeti Dhaiya sits down with the Queen of Indian Hockey for an unfiltered conversation about her incredible journey. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Rani opens up about growing up in a financially struggling family. There was a time when we didn't even have a clock at home to check the time. Her father was a cart-puller and the only earning member of the family. For young Rani, life wasn't about luxuries; it was about survival. 'Today, when I wake up on my own terms, decide what to eat, and spend my money the way I want, that freedom is real success,' she says. But how did hockey come into the picture? Rani reveals a hard truth about Indian sports: 'We love sports because of passion, yes. But for most athletes like me, the biggest reason is financial security – to get a job and support our families.' Game On continues with the Queen of Indian Hockey, Rani Rampal! Her journey wasn't easy. She remembers a coach once telling her mentor, 'This girl can never play for India.' Today, she smiles as she recalls that moment: 'I feel proud that I proved them wrong.' Rani also shares a deeply personal motivation – breaking gender stereotypes. 'When I was born, no one celebrated. I was the third girl in the family. I wanted to show that girls can change lives – their own and their families'.' From struggling to buy her mother a gas stove to leading India at the Tokyo Olympics and standing on the Padma Shri stage, Rani Rampal is living proof that dreams, no matter how distant, can come true.
