Weapons will be your best friend during your entire run in Dead Rails. Since the whole area is suffering from a zombie outbreak, including monsters and bandits, it becomes essential to carry arms for your own safety. Fortunately, Dead Rails offers us many options to choose from. However, like all weapons, some can be more useful than others. Confused about which one to pick? Keep reading as we list the best ones in our Dead Rails weapons tier list here.

Dead Rails Weapons Tier List: Overview

There are a total of 20 weapons in Dead Rails that can be bought at the shop, found across the barren lands, or bought using game passes. Moreover, certain Dead Rails classes allow you to spawn with some unique weapons as well.

Some of these are really flexible and useful in both solo and multiplayer runs and hence rank at the highest tier, the S-Tier. Next comes the A-Tier, where you will find slightly inferior weapons, and this trend goes on till the D-Tier, where you will find the most basic items that aren’t really helpful and don’t do much damage.

S-Tier

The S-Tier holds the best-in-class weapons currently present in Dead Rails. This includes the Electrocutioner Gun that inflicts the highest damage of 100, thereby instantly killing any monster except for Nikola Tesla boss. So, here are the best S-Tier weapons in Dead Rails:

Among these, the Rifle and the Shotgun are the best weapons you can equip in the game and defeat the undead either from a range or at point-blank, whatever suits your style the most.

A-Tier

Next, we have the A-tier weapons, which are also good and can inflict high damage on enemies. However, compared to the S-Tier weapons, some of them are pretty rare to find in the game. One good thing about some guns in this category is that they can sell for really high prices, and therefore, you can use them to buy other essential items. That said, here are all the best Dead Rails weapons in the A-tier.

Among the weapons in the B-Tier, the Jade Sword sells for 250 cash while the Vampire Knife sells for 100 cash. You can get the latter by raiding the Castle in the game. These are highly profitable in terms of money.

B-Tier

The B-Tier consists of weapons that are average in the game. Some of them have their own use cases, while others have a few disadvantages that prevent them from being placed higher. Moreover, most of them are less suitable for shooting enemies from a distance, and therefore, you can aim for better gear as you progress during the journey.

One of my favorite items in this tier is the Maxim Turret, which can help you clear the towns and defeat the monsters chasing your train at night.

C-Tier

Coming to the C-Tier, we have a few scarce and expensive items apart from the melee Cavalry sword. Talking about the Crucifix and Holy Water, they will cost you $ 75 and $ 45, respectively. Moreover, these are single-use weapons and hence not recommended for long runs. That said, here are all the weapons in this category.

The Cannon belongs in this tier due to its limited ammunition of 12 cannon balls and because it’s harder to get in the game. However, some would actually place the Holy Water in the A-tier because of its group damage.

D-Tier

Finally, the D-Tier consists of the basic weapons in the game, and most of the classes begin with them during the run. The Shovel and Pickaxe are melee weapons and do the same amount of damage. However, since the pickaxe helps in mining ores efficiently, it’s better to carry that instead of a shovel. With that, here are the Dead Rails weapons in the D-tier:

And that ends our Dead Rails weapons tier list. I hope this clears up the fog for you on what to equip and what to aim for during your run in the game. So, which is your favorite weapon among them? Let us know in the comments below!

Earlier this month, Google launched a new feature called Gemini Live. It included camera access and screen sharing. At first, this feature was only available on high-end devices like the Pixel 9 and Galaxy S25. Users also had to be subscribed to the Gemini Advanced plan.

Google Expands Gemini Live Features to All Android Users

Now, things are changing. After getting great feedback, Google has decided to open this feature to more users. Soon, all Android users will be able to use Gemini Live — no matter what phone they have. Even users with the free version of Gemini will get access.

As usual, Google is rolling this out slowly. It will become available “over the coming weeks.” So if you don’t see it on your phone yet, don’t worry. It’s on the way.

Once you have the update, using the feature is simple. Open the Gemini app. Tap the Gemini Live icon. Then, choose the camera or screen sharing button.

You can now converse with Gemini in real-time from that location. The assistant will react to whatever is in your camera or screen’s view. You can pose questions about whatever you are showing to Gemini, be it a product, document, or even an app. It is not boring; conversations occur naturally. You may interrupt Gemini or ask follow-up questions anytime you want.

This is beneficial at a different level. Rather than only talking or typing, now you can visually tell Gemini what is needed, making the interaction far more powerful. For example, you could direct your camera to a math problem, visual piece of furniture, a recipe, or even an image of a piece of furniture. You can also use screen-sharing to receive assistance with applications or settings.

The change is important in efforts to improve AI’s availability and usability on a personal level. It ensures that more people can access powerful tools, and not just individuals with expensive smartphones and paid subscriptions.

With expanding Gemini Live features, Google is demonstrating its position for inclusive AI tailored to individual’s daily routines and seamlessly integrates into one’s daily life.

The Diamond Heist documentary series has arrived on Netflix for a global audience to enjoy. The docuseries, consisting of only three episodes, has been getting a lot of attention lately. The series comes from the mind of Guy Ritchie, known for giving us popular properties like The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare and The Gentlemen.

The Diamond Heist sheds light on the biggest robbery of the 21st century. The docuseries tells an interesting tale, but fans wonder if it happened like this in real life. If you are also wondering the same, here’s your answer.

Netflix’s The Diamond Heist Real-Life Story Explained

To answer your question, The Diamond Heist is very well based on a true story, as advertised in the documentary series. The series tells how the biggest robbery of the 21st century, also called the Millennium Star Heist, was conducted by a group of criminals from South-East London.

There’s no denying that Reels have become the most popular feature of Instagram, and we all are guilty of spending hours scrolling and sharing dumb reels with our friends. Well, Instagram knows that and wants to make it a more social experience with the new Blend feature rolling out for everyone.

Instagram head, Adam Mosseri announced the Blend feature on Thursday, allowing you to create a custom, personalized Reels feed between you and your friend(s). I think the highlight of the feature is that both you and your friends in the Blend will get to see the same reels in the same order, like a watch party for Instagram.

Charcoal is an essential item in RuneScape DragonWilds and is required to craft a Furnace. After that, Charcoal becomes the most valuable fuel in the game, allowing players to melt ores and cook high-tier items. Crafting Charcoal is extremely easy, as you only need to process wood. However, to unlock the Charcoal recipe, you need to find other materials and make other buildings. If you are also struggling to craft Charcoal, simply follow our complete guide on how to get Charcoal in RuneScape DragonWilds.

How to Make Charcoal in RuneScape DragonWilds

Charcoal is a mid-to-end game fuel in RuneScape DragonWilds, and it is used to craft the Furnace. Crafting Charcoal is fairly easy, as long as you have a Kiln and some wood. Below, I have given a step-by-step explanation on how to build a Kiln and craft Charcoal using it.

1. Collect Clay

The first thing you need to do is collect Clay. This is one of the required materials for building a Kiln, which is used to craft Charcoal. Head to Whispering Swamps, located North of Bramblemead Valley. Clay can only be found in Whispering Swamps, so don’t look for it elsewhere. After reaching the Whispering Swamp, look for Clay Nodes.

Once you find a Clay Node, use your Pickaxe to mine for Clay. You can also use Dragonwilds spells like ‘Rocksplosion’ to mine fast or ‘Detect Clay + Ore’ to find Clay Nodes easily. Both of these spells are the Dragonwilds skills in the Mining tree.

2. Build Kiln

After you have collected Clay from the Whispering Swamps, you will need to build a Kiln. Here are the materials required to build a Kiln in RuneScape DragonWilds:

• 8 Ash logs
• 20 Stones
• 6 Clay
• 10 Fire Rune

Ash Logs and Stones can be easily found in trees and rocks. For Fire Rune, use the Rune Altar to craft them with Rune Essences. Once you have all the items, open the Build menu using the ‘B‘ key and select Kiln in the Processing section of the Crafting tab. Now, build the Kiln outside in an open area. The Kiln must be exposed, otherwise it won’t work.

3. Craft Charcoal

After you have built a Kiln, you can start crafting Charcoal in the Kiln. To craft Charcoal, you can process the following materials in the Kiln:

• Ash log (1:1)
• Ash Plank (1:1)
• Oak Log (1:1)
• Oak Plank (1:1)

As one Ash or Oak log can be split into two Planks, you can get a lot more Charcoal by converting your logs to planks first and then using them to craft Charcoal. After crafting Charcoal, you can use it as a new fuel for cooking and in the furnace. Charcoal is also required to build a Furnace in RuneScape DragonWilds.

So, that’s it. Now you know how to make Charcoal in RuneScape DragonWilds. Start crafting stronger gear once you have built the Furnace with Charcoal and completed all the quests in Ashenfall. Tell us how much you are enjoying RuneScape DragonWilds so far in the comments.

Apple is set to unveil watchOS 12 at its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2025 on June 9. Leading to the release, there are two major questions in the orbit for anyone keeping up with Apple updates. First, will watchOS 12 get Apple Intelligence? Second, will it be a part of the visionOS-inspired design overhaul coming to iOS, iPadOS, and macOS? Now, we have some insights, and they are somewhat underwhelming.

No Standalone Apple Intelligence on watchOS 12

Apple Watch won’t be getting full-scale Apple Intelligence, as per Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. Instead, it would be getting some features “powered by Apple Intelligence”. This would mean that Apple Intelligence features on Apple Watch would likely run on iPhone. When Apple Watch was first released, it followed this model. It was heavily dependent on iPhone for most features and functionalities. However, over the years, the wearable bloomed into its own. But it looks like it would be taking a trip back in time now.

For users who want Apple Watch to be able to run AI features without any dependencies, the outlook doesn’t look particularly great. The only Apple Intelligence features currently available on the Apple Watch are Notification summaries and the Reduce Interruptions focus. But these features aren’t really on the Apple Watch so much as accessible through it, and only if you own a compatible iPhone. If your iPhone can’t run Apple Intelligence, it won’t matter if your Apple Watch is the latest model; you won’t have access to these features.

That said, for those with a supported iPhone, the limited Apple Intelligence integrations on watchOS 12 could still offer a more refined and useful experience than what’s available today.

watchOS 12 Will Focus on Refinements Over Revolution

As for design, Apple is reportedly working on a major interface overhaul. Codenamed Solarium, iOS, iPadOS, and macOS are getting this more extensive redesign inspired by visionOS. But watchOS 12 will see only modest UI changes. Gurman notes that Apple Watch users can expect a few new interface elements sprinkled throughout. But don’t expect the dramatic refresh you may have been hoping for.

As for design changes, the Apple Watch is destined to get some of the new interface elements here and there, but without a major overhaul.

If Gurman reports turn out to be true, watchOS 12 might turn out to be more of a maintenance update. Subtle visual tweaks and minor AI-powered enhancements may still improve the overall experience. But for now, it seems Apple is saving the big moves for its other platforms.

Apple’s Calculated Approach: Playing it Safe, again?

With watchOS 12, Apple appears to be taking a cautious step into the AI era for its wearable. Rather than bringing Apple Intelligence natively to the Watch, the company is opting for a tethered experience – dependent on a supported iPhone. On the surface, this may feel like a regression for a device that has spent years evolving toward greater independence. But it also reflects Apple’s typical strategy: polish and control before expansion.

That said, the timing feels off. Wearables are increasingly becoming standalone AI companions—from Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses with real-time visual recognition to Oura and Whoop’s deeply personalized health feedback driven by machine learning. In this context, Apple Watch’s limited integration risks making it look like a peripheral, rather than a core part of Apple’s AI future.

After Apple’s initial stance on AI and playing it safe for long, one would have thought that the company was done with that. Yet, this could be a calculated move. Apple may be choosing to focus its AI efforts where they can shine most – on devices with the hardware and battery life to support them natively. The Apple Watch, for all its strengths, is still constrained by its size and power envelope. And ever since the whole fiasco with Apple Intelligence and Siri, releasing half-baked on-device AI could further jeopardize the company’s reputation.

In the long run, however, users will expect more. If wearables are to serve as intelligent, context-aware companions – something Apple is uniquely positioned to deliver – the Apple Watch will eventually need to do more than mirror intelligence from another device. The future of wearables is leaning toward autonomy, and Apple can’t afford to watch from the sidelines for too long.

As expansive as Dead Rails is, it only has limited means of transportation. So, while you have your trusty train to traverse the desert with, players also get horses to be more mobile. You can even use horses to quickly stash loot from buildings on either side. However, getting a vehicle like a horse cart in Dead Rails will also let you weld items or weapons. You will also need the cart to complete the Pony Express challenge. Want one for yourself? Keep on reading to learn how to get and use a horse cart in Dead Rails.

How to Get a Horse Cart in Dead Rails

The Horse Cart, or simply Cart, is in itself an individual item and is only found at the Barn in Dead Rails. Apart from the Cart, you’ll need a Horse to attach this item. We have a detailed guide on how you can get a Horse in Dead Rails. Once you have a horse, keep reading to learn how to get a horse cart in Dead Rails:

Horse Cart Location in Dead Rails

As we have already discussed, you must find a Barn first during your run. The Barn is a small farm hut with green grass growing all around it. It will spawn far away from the railroad, so it’s better to keep an eye out while driving or ask your friend to look out for a similar-looking structure.

The Barn is relatively easy to raid compared to other towns and buildings and consists of a few zombies. Once you kill them, head inside and you’ll find handsome loot, including a horse cart, a wild or tamed Horse, a saddle, and a few junk materials. If the horse isn’t tamed, you can easily do so by cornering it and placing the saddle on its back.

How to Equip the Horse Cart in Dead Rails

Now that you have both the required items in front of you inside the Barn, follow the simple steps below to equip the Horse Cart in Dead Rails:

• Go near the cart, point your mouse at it, and click the left mouse button to hold it.
• Now, drag the cart and bring it near the horse. This will attach the cart to the horse, and it will be ready for use.
• This is also applicable if your friend is using the Horse class, and therefore, bringing the cart near them will attach it to their back.

If you ride the Horse now, it will drag the cart behind you as well. To unequip the Cart, you can jump twice while staying on it. Otherwise, you may simply hold the cart or place it in your sack to remove it from the horse’s back.

All Uses of Horse Cart in Dead Rails

The Horse cart is the only item in the game where you can weld various items and weapons, apart from the train. However, the horse cart in Dead Rails has many more uses. These are:

1. Secondary Moveable Storage

One of the primary uses of the horse cart is to use it as a secondary movable storage while you are raiding buildings like the Castle and Fort Constitution. Simply weld the loot on the cart, and your Sack won’t get full very easily.

Moreover, welding more than one cart to the original one can help create a long trail and hence provide more storage space. However, this is least feasible since the barn itself is a rare structure and houses a single cart as its loot.

2. Secondary Transportation

Since the train requires fuel to run, the horse cart can be a superb alternative for transportation. It helps you get past the last checkpoint without needing coal or using any other Corpse as fuel.

Although you can achieve this by using a horse, the horse cart simply adds value by helping you weld your weapons on it and increasing its defense by using Sheet Metals, Turrets, and Cannons.

Lastly, you can use the cart to defeat hordes of enemies in a blink by welding a Turret or a Cannon on it. Simply ask a friend to be the driver and shoot away at the zombies.

And that’s how you get your hands on a horse cart in Dead Rails. Are you still having trouble attaching this item to your horse? Let us know in the comments below.

Trying to find Vault Cores and Vault Shards in RuneScape DragonWilds to craft your first Lodestone? Vault Cores are extremely important to craft high-level gear and items in the game. However, they can only be found in one area of the game, making it hard for players who don’t know where to look. Here is a complete guide on how to get Vault Shards and Vault Cores in RuneScape DragonWilds, including all Vault locations available in Ashenfall.

Where to Find Vault Cores in RuneScape DragonWilds

Vault Cores can only be found inside Vaults in RuneScape Dragon Wilds. Vaults are scattered all over Ashenfall, and they are marked with a blue tick on the map. Refer to our image further down below to see how it looks. Enter the vaults and follow the paths until you come across altars that hold the Vault Core.

These altars are generally guarded by Vault Sentinels, which can deal a ton of damage. Craft a bow to fight these enemies from a distance. After defeating the enemies, simply go and collect the Vault Cores. One thing to note is that some of the Vault Cores are in hidden rooms, where you have to use Dragonwilds spells to reach.

The Vault Cores are used to craft a ton of high-level items, including Lodestone, which enables Ffast traveling in Runescape DragonWilds. Now, let’s take a look at all the Vault locations in the game.

Where to Find Vault Shards in RuneScape DragonWilds?

Vault Shards are also found inside Vaults in RuneScape DragonWilds. Vault Shards are also used to craft Furnace and other items in the game. You can obtain Vault Shards by opening chests inside Vaults and by defeating Vault Sentinels.

All Vault Locations in RuneScape DragonWilds

There are six Vaults in RuneScape DragonWilds, one present in each area. Here is the location of all the Vaults in RuneScape DragonWilds:

• South of Temple Woods
