Free Primal Carnage DLC, Get to the Chopper, rushes to Steam today
Primal Carnage's free Get to the Chopper DLC is live now on Steam, bringing the Downpour map and a new dinosaur, the Spinosaurus. From its name alone, we would recommend putting on gloves before trying to pet this one. Thick gloves.The new map, Downpour, is a rain-logged jungle scene where players must radio a helicopter, turn on a fuel valve and then get to the chopper at the landing pad. The Spinosaurus shows up during that final sprint to the helicopter, and has a one-hit kill bite and dangerous claw attacks. The DLC includes a modified version of the Docks map, as well, and developer Lukewarm Media promises more maps in the future.The Spinosaurus will be available later this month as a paid skin for Team Deathmatch. Get to the Chopper was initially scheduled to launch in November, but hey, it's not like these guys already had a helicopter.%Gallery-176970%

There are a number of interesting (and by interesting, perhaps I mean "occasionally very expensive and likely to drive you insane via RNG-laden accessibility") mounts available from professions, though for some of them, you'll have to be a practitioner in good standing before you'll ever be able to learn them. Regrettably, I am the bearer of some very bad news this week concerning the Vial of the Sands for all those of you who like circumventing the highest costs in the game.

Insider Trader: Northern Engineering highlights

Today, Insider Trader is taking a look at some of the highlights of the profession to help you set goals and plan ahead with your leveling. This by no means covers every schematic, and instead looks at the big ticket items and new innovations, including stylish, if somewhat controversial, new modes of transportation, consolidations to save bag space, and more.
