Fortnite: The new Battle Pass in Chapter 5 Season 1 – All Skins and Rewards

Fortnite has received a new Battle Pass with Chapter 5 Season 1. Here you will find an overview of all skins and other rewards at each level.

This is happening in Fortnite: Epic Games has organized a large live event in Fortnite, which not only featured a brief appearance by Eminem, but Epic Games has also prepared three brand new modes that are scheduled to be released sequentially throughout the season.

Together with a new Battle Pass, players have the chance to explore the new map of Chapter 5 in flashy outfits . Therefore, we are showing you the Battle Pass in detail and explaining when you can receive which rewards.

Here you can see the new trailer for Chapter 5 Season 1:

Structure of the Battle Pass: The Pass costs, as always, 950 V-Bucks and relies on a star system again. You earn stars through leveling up and can then use them for rewards of your choice.

However, some rewards are tied to level requirements. For example, you cannot immediately obtain the level 100 skin Valeria; you first need to reach certain levels beforehand.

All rewards in the Battle Pass for Season “Underground”

Who is the bonus skin? The bonus skin is the “Solid Snake” skin. However, it will only be available later in the season, on January 23, 2024.

The hardest romance in Baldur’s Gate 3 takes an unexpected turn when you play a certain character

You can enter a romance with each of your companions in Baldur’s Gate 3 if you do it right. However, one character is problematic for several reasons: Minthara. You can only get the Drow if you are evil – and even then the romance doesn’t always work.

What kind of romance is this? Minthara is one of the companions in Baldur’s Gate 3, a Lolth-devoted Drow and a Paladin of Lawful Evil alignment by default.

You can usually only recruit the Drow if you are really evil, because you have to slaughter refugees for that. Players have been puzzling since release about how to obtain Minthara without wading through blood:

Regularly, you lead the goblin attack on the camp yourself. As thanks, there is immediately a sex scene with Minthara. If you do it right, you can win Minthara as your partner later in the game. Women have it easier here because Drow live in a matriarchal society.

The scene with Minthara is one of the most popular romance scenes in the game and quickly gets quite steamy:

Baldurs Gate 3 Minthara Romance Scene Title

This is what makes dealing with Minthara so difficult: Unlike all other romances, you can only interact with Minthara starting from Act 2. There, you have to free her from a prison again before she joins you permanently.

From there you can gather her approval. The problem: the romance with Minthara is still riddled with bugs. Some dialogue options do not do what they are supposed to – Minthara sometimes treats you like a stranger.

Romance scenes are also not triggered, leading players to suspect that they are simply missing. Nevertheless, some fans of the Drow have already committed and say: it’s really worth it.

For Minthara, you must forgo Halsin. He is so popular, that there is even a speedrun category for his sex scene:

Start video
Creators of Baldur’s Gate 3 show intimate love scene with a bear and get banned instantly

“She would go to hell alone to take down Zariel”

In a large discussion on Reddit, it’s all about Minthara and what makes the Paladin so special. The creator says: he likes Minthara now as much as Karlach, which he never expected.

Although the Drow always seems tough and cold, her arguments always have a basis that is somehow understandable. Instead of arguing with feelings, she thinks pragmatically, albeit extremely brutally.

One user points out that Minthara is indeed capable of showing her feelings. However, this can only happen with Karlach, of all people. Normally, you don’t see the two together in the camp:

If you want a particularly rare version of the story, play as Karlach. Follow the Goblin side of the quests, then enter a romance with Minthara. A Karlach who has come to terms with death and is in a romance with Minthara shows a completely new side of Minthara. One that is willing to go through hell alone and kill Zariel in a crusade of vengeance for her beloved. Minthara is the “Ride or Die” chick you want on your side.

Other users say that Minthara reacts similarly with other characters. Unfortunately, I can only confirm this to a limited extent: when I did my evil run and entered a romance with Minthara, she was often still quite reserved.

Nevertheless, it somehow felt right. As the child of the murder god Bhaal, she suited my character very well. Just making sure you support each other, no matter what happens, was exactly what I expected from the relationship.

The most popular romance option is indeed Shadowheart, at least according to the latest figures. There are some exciting stats here:

“I’m waiting with my Durge run until she’s fixed”

Nevertheless, Minthara is high on the list of issues that fans still want resolved. Her missing or faulty dialogue options even prevent players from starting an evil run.

In the discussion about the new Patch 5, which is supposed to fix a major performance issue, calls for Minthara have also resurfaced. Users have already mentioned: they are waiting with their “Dark Urge” run until it is worthwhile to enter a romance with Minthara.

How long this will take, we do not know. The developers are already working on “new features” for the game, but there is still no date for when these will be released. More information will be available in the next community update.

If you decide to recruit Minthara as a companion and want to enter a romance with her, you will have to give up a lot. There is already an overview of this:

5 Things You Can Gift Friends Who Are Totally Addicted to Baldur’s Gate 3

Outdoors it is becoming wintry and the holidays are approaching. All Baldur’s-Gate-3 players have just received a big pre-Christmas gift in the form of Patch 5. To make them even happier, we have here 5 gift ideas for which you don’t have to work at Larian Studios.

As the holidays and thus the big gift season is upon us, the question arises as to what to give a Baldur’s Gate 3 fan. We have put together five inspirations for you.

By the way, you can read about what’s new in Patch 5 here:

A round of Dungeons & Dragons

Baldur’s Gate 3 is based on Dungeons & Dragons. The game not only takes place in the world of pen & paper but also adopts the entire dice system and many items. After a few intense rounds of Baldur’s Gate 3, you will already be familiar with many elements of Dungeons & Dragons. So, there is nothing standing in the way of starting your own first D&D adventure.

For a round of Dungeons & Dragons, you need yourself and a few friends. You can come together digitally via voice/video chat and online tools like Roll20 or One D&D. Of course, you can also meet for an in-person session at home.

For a first start, you need paper, pen, a set of dice, characters, and the basic rules. The basic rules are available for free download from Wizards of the Coast – unfortunately, only in English.

In this YouTube video, there are tips and tricks for playing D&D online:

Recommended editorial content

At this point you will find external content from YouTube that complements the article.

I consent to external content being displayed to me. Personal data can be transmitted to third party platforms. Read more about our privacy policy.
Link to the YouTube content

But for a proper game, you actually need an adventure, a story. This can be written by your chosen game master. Alternatively, you can also give one of the two starter sets available in German. Everything you need for your first D&D session is included.

If you are experienced pen-and-paper players, you can also give away the adventure Descend into Avernus. The book covers the backstory to Baldur’s Gate 3 – here you learn, for example, where the tiefling refugees from the Emerald Grove in the game originally came from.

Dice

As mentioned above, you need pen-and-paper dice to play Dungeons & Dragons. By the way, dice look very nice and are a coveted collectible among players. Hardly a D&D session goes by without showing off beautiful new sets to each other.

A set for pen & paper consists of seven dice, named after the number of sides they have:

  • W4
  • W6
  • W8
  • W10
  • W100 (percentile die)
  • W12
  • W20

Occasionally, a W2, a coin, is also needed, and very rarely do the rules call for an obscure W3. However, a W3 can also be replaced with a W6. Just decide which two sides of the die should represent 1, 2, and 3.

A selection of dice from MeinMMO author Sophia.

Dice come in all possible colors and shapes – yes, also shapes. You can purchase a set at your local game store or buy the official ones from Wizards of the Coast online. Alternatively, there’s always the option to shop from one of the many small artisan shops online. For example, on Etsy there is a flood of small merchants offering handmade sets – the selection is largest here.

Even cooler is the gift if the dice set comes in the favorite colors of the recipient. Or you find a set that matches the favorite Baldur’s Gate 3 character of the person receiving the gift.

Cards for Magic: The Gathering

You don’t have to play Magic: The Gathering to collect the cards I want to recommend to you. The card game also belongs to Wizards of the Coast and has many overlaps with Dungeons & Dragons. Of course, there’s also a series of cards related to Baldur’s Gate 3.

Included are many NPCs, but also all companions. Here are three examples:

Anyone who loves Baldur’s Gate 3 will surely be delighted with cards of their favorite characters.

Wizards of the Coast offers the cards in commander decks, set, draft, and collector boosters with fancy packaging. You can purchase them online or in a local game shop of your choice.

If you want to give away a specific card, it gets tricky: with commander decks, it is established which cards are included, but with boosters, it is random. There are online card shops that can help, as well as the local game store.

Many stores that sell boosters also offer the service of buying and reselling individual cards. Ask your local card shop if they provide this service. If you search online, you can look at websites like cardmarket.com or gate-to-the-games.de. In the editorial office, we have had very good experiences with bb-spiele.de.

A game like Baldur’s Gate 3

Baldur’s Gate 3 is truly a very special game. It is currently the best CRPG and offers many things that other games in the genre do not – the completely synchronized cutscenes, for example.

But of course, there are enough games that come very close to the Baldur’s Gate 3 experience overall. My colleague Benedict has put together two lists for you, in which he presents a total of 13 alternatives – once dedicated to turn-based combat and once without.

Play Baldur’s Gate 3 with them in co-op

Nothing brings someone more joy than sharing their passion with friends and family. Maybe video games aren’t your thing or you don’t have enough time for a mammoth game like Baldur’s Gate 3. But that is exactly what makes your gift so special:

You’re giving with a co-op round not just a co-op round, but a shared and most likely fun time together. It also shows that you care about the person and are willing to engage with their interests. You’re giving joy.

This is particularly appreciated if you live a bit further apart. A round of D&D works well digitally, but perhaps not as smoothly as a game designed for that purpose. Moreover, a round of Baldur’s Gate 3 is also a lot of fun for two, while pen & paper becomes really enjoyable with three to five players.

I have never watched Star Trek, but „Lower Decks“ I found great

Star Wars or Star Trek? That is a question that will probably divide many minds. Until now, I have always played on Team Star Wars. Because to be honest, I had never watched anything from Star Trek – until I discovered “Lower Decks.” But does the series even work for “Star Trek” beginners?

What is “Lower Decks”?

  • “Star Trek: Lower Decks” is an animated series from 2020.
  • Currently, there are 4 seasons, some of which can be seen on Prime Video (seasons 1-3) and Joyn (season 1). The fourth season just recently premiered in November 2023.
  • On IMDb, the series has a rating of 7.7/10.

In the trailer, you can get an impression of the series:

Start video
Star Trek: Lower Decks – Official Trailer of the First Season (English)

This is what “Lower Decks” is about

Lower Decks takes place a year after the events of the film “Star Trek: Nemesis.” Unlike many science fiction stories, it is not about the captain and other high-ranking officials but, as the title suggests, about the ordinary workers on an insignificant Starfleet ship.

The focus is on four young “ensigns,” which is the lowest rank after graduating from the academy. The ambitious Boimler, the rebellious Mariner, the clever Rutherford, and the lovable Tendi. The mismatched colleagues experience many adventures and become more and more like friends.

Star Trek with a pinch of “Rick and Morty”

What makes the series special is not only the change of perspective. Lower Decks is also a very humorous series that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

Not just because of the visuals, it often reminded me of the series “Rick and Morty.” Exaggerated characters travel to various planets and experience crazy adventures with aliens. Alcohol and curses are also included.

While Rick and Morty is a bit crazier, anyone who enjoyed that type of show could also have fun with Lower Decks.

With “Lower Decks” into the universe of Star Trek

As I mentioned earlier, I was an absolute “Star Trek” novice before Lower Decks. Did I still have fun with the series? Absolutely!

This is remarkable in that Lower Decks is often celebrated for its numerous Easter eggs from the Star Trek universe. And I can understand that. I can only guess how many guest appearances, film references, and lore details show up in the series. For fans, it’s definitely really cool.

But even as a non-initiated person, I never felt overwhelmed by the series or bored by fan service. Everything made sense on its own, just as zombie viruses, seductive alien lizards, or species that duplicate out of shame can make sense.

The cool approach of experiencing a spaceship from the perspective of the lowest workers, interesting characters with good development, and not least the humor – all of that makes Lower Decks a really good and entertaining series even for “Star Trek” newbies like me.

Star Trek: Lower Decks
Working on the lower decks is not always easy.

The perfect introduction? Especially with a franchise that has existed for as long as Star Trek – the first series started in 1966 – I often find it difficult to get started as a newcomer. There is a sheer overwhelming amount of material, where to even begin? I quickly get the feeling that I don’t understand something correctly because I don’t know the “original series.”

The advantage with Lower Decks for me was that the series is entertaining even without deep understanding. Maybe I don’t know where this funny artifact comes from, but I can still find it funny what the chaos crew around Ensign Boimler does with it.

This made Lower Decks a pleasant and light introduction to the world of Star Trek for me. And I shamelessly admit that the series has piqued my curiosity. I’m just excited to see the great adventures of the USS Voyager that were mentioned. Or to learn more about the combative Klingons and emotionless Vulcans.

I don’t know if it’s the absolutely perfect entry point for “Star Trek” newcomers. Probably it’s best to start with the original series. But if you’d rather take a casual dip into the world first, “Lower Decks” offers, in my opinion, a great opportunity.

When the fifth season premieres in 2024, I will definitely not miss it.

Are you “Star Trek” fans? If so, how did you start with the franchise? Feel free to let us know in the comments.

Of course, for such a large franchise as Star Trek, there are also PC games. The strategy game “Star Trek: Birth of the Federation” was just released, which took a full 20 years to arrive. But whether the wait was worth it is questionable:

First trailer for the Fallout series scores with darker humor among fans – “The atmosphere of the trailer really matches the game”

Next year, an Amazon series based on the well-known video game series Fallout will be released. A first trailer has now been published, and it is getting a very positive response from fans. The closeness to the original is particularly highlighted.

What is the series about? The series is set in 2077 in a post-apocalyptic Los Angeles. In Vault 33, the young woman Lucy lives isolated from the outside world.

However, one day she must venture to the surface and finds herself in a dangerous world full of mutants and giant insects.

Here you can see the German trailer for the Amazon series of Fallout:

First trailer for the Amazon Fallout series

“It looks like they will stay true to the dark humor and morbid fun of the game”

How are users reacting to the trailer? Under the trailer on YouTube, fans are reacting very positively. Many especially appreciate the closeness to the original in terms of its dark humor and atmosphere.

The well-known game elements, like the ghoul or the power armors, are also well received. Now fans hope that the series will be just as fantastic as the trailer and that Amazon will deliver a spectacular video game adaptation that does justice to the original – many are optimistic.

  • @davidmiron2629: “I am really looking forward to it. It looks like they will stay true to the dark humor and morbid fun of the game, I hope.”
  • @TeeeeeVeeeee: “I really like the colors in the trailer, the combination of bright and muted colors creates a nice blend of older and newer gaming styles.”
  • @kai21192: “The atmosphere of the trailer really fits the game. Let’s hope they can deliver that [in the series] as well.”
  • Shrimple007: “The ghoul makeup is insane! I hope that the story does not stray too far from the game series. I expect 40% drama and 60% action in this series. As balanced as possible in a Fallout-themed world. Also, Todd’s name is on it, so everything is good. I am excited!”

A trailer for season 2 of “House Of The Dragon” was also released. You can read here how the Game of Thrones prequel continues at our colleagues from Filmstarts: The first trailer for “House Of The Dragon” season 2 is here! This is how the “Game Of Thrones” prequel continues

When will the Fallout series be released? Starting April 12, 2024, you can watch the Fallout adaptation on Amazon Prime Video. The first season will consist of 8 episodes, which will be released weekly.

Diablo 4: Player uses popular build, defeats the final boss with his sorceress in 1.7 seconds and deals one million damage

A player presents their build in Diablo 4. And it is so powerful that it defeats the final boss in under 2 seconds.

In Diablo 4, the final boss Lilith is considered the strongest opponent in the game. However, a player is currently showing how to finish off Lilith in under 2 seconds in the current season. To do this, they use the Ball Lightning build for Sorcerers to deal massive damage in no time.

Player uses Ball Lightning build and maximizes damage with glyphs

What kind of build is this? This build revolves around the ability “Ball Lightning.” You summon ball lightning and create a deadly electric environment in a small radius. A perfect build if you want to take out many enemies at once or quickly defeat bosses.

What was the player’s trick? They write that they combine the Ball Lightning build with multiplier glyphs. Glyphs are small stones that you can socket into your Paragon board. The player uses this to maximize damage. They write themselves on reddit:

I achieve this damage by only using multiplier glyphs. I have activated 9 glyphs and 2 legendary nodes. I will post the build soon. I’m trying to fix the Paragon mode because I’ve found a defensive improvement without losing DPS. I need to rearrange the [Paragon] boards.

Edit: I just did this again. So I can say that the DPS is really consistent. This time I recorded it with damage numbers activated.

Where can you find the build? The entire build for the Sorcerer has been posted by the user on maxroll.gg. Here you can easily adopt it this way.

Additionally, the player has posted some variations with better defensive values, so you can not only deal damage but also take it.

What’s next in Diablo 4? With the next season, Blizzard wants to make some fundamental changes to the hack’n slash. One of these concerns the inventory. And this is already well received in preliminary discussions. More about this directly on MeinMMO:

Patch notes and new content for Chapter 5

This is what we know: Epic Games has officially released the patch notes and we list them for you summarized and in detail.

New POIs with their own character

With Chapter 5, Epic Games is bringing a new map with many POIs that players have not seen before. The POIs include:

  • Ritzy Riviera – A chic harbor
  • Rebel’s Roost – An abandoned villa
  • Reckless Railways – A major train station
  • Hazy Hillside – An alpine village
  • Grand Glacier Hotel – A hotel

Medals with strong effects

In Chapter 5 Season 1, you can encounter 5 bosses, each holding unique loot, including medals.

Fortnite-Medaillons

The bosses include:

  • Oscar
  • Nisha
  • Montague
  • Valeria
  • Peter Griffin

If you have defeated one of these bosses, you will receive a medal as a reward. This medal slowly restores your shields. The more medals you have in your inventory, the greater the effect of shield regeneration.

However, note that you will be marked on the map with a radius and every player can locate you. The more medals you carry, the smaller the radius on the map.

New cars and adjustments

Fortnite-Smasher-Auto

Fortnite brings a new vehicle to the battlefield – the SUV Grandeur TrailSmasher. This vehicle easily overcomes rugged terrain and mountains. In addition, Epic introduces a new way for you to customize your vehicles. In your locker, there is now the section “Cars”, where you can customize the bodies, stickers, and wheels.

These customization options are purely cosmetic and do not give you any advantages.

New weapons and items for combat

Fortnite-Ballistisches-Schild

Fortnite rotates its meta in every new season. This time there are many new weapons and items you can use in Chapter 5. The following are known:

  • Ballistic shield
    • A shield with a pistol – has infinite durability, but drains your stamina when shot
  • Grapple Blade
    • A grappling hook with a knife on it
  • Cluster Sticky Grenade
    • A modified version of the plunger
  • Hammer Shotgun
  • Automatic Rage Shotgun
  • Nemesis Assault Rifle
  • Striker Assault Rifle
  • Thunder Burst Submachine Gun
  • Hyper Submachine Gun
  • Reaper Sniper Rifle
  • Ranger Pistol 

Joining the items is the fruit “Flowberry”. This item provides you and your allies with shields when you consume it. Additionally, you gain weightlessness.

Weapon mods and workbenches

In Fortnite, there are now special weapon workbenches in vaults where you can modify your weapons. These modifications are attachments that you pay for with gold bars. Do you want a larger magazine or a sight on your AR? The workbench helps you with that!

Important changes in Battle Royale

  • Medkits and shield potions immediately start restoring your bars when used, and you can now move easily while using them
  • Restart buses no longer reset your revival progress immediately but now slowly decrease when your action is interrupted. Progress from other teams can also be used to further shorten the revival.
  • At the start of a match, you will see three match objectives. You can now choose one that fits your gameplay style and complete it during the round. These objectives replace the daily ones. In each round, you can select an objective that expires at the end of a round.
  • Buildings now have boards on the outer edges, so you can pull yourself up on them like in parkour.
  • Fortnite has improved and changed the movements of your skins.

Competitive notes

The following items are not available in competitive mode:

  • TrailSmasher
  • Sports Car
  • Cluster Sticky Grenades

Son of the Lead Developer Allegedly Leaks Pictures of GTA 6 – Community Believes This Could Have Severe Consequences

GTA 6 is probably the most anticipated game in the world. Now, allegedly, the son of the lead developer has shown pictures of the game to earn some internet fame. However, this may have serious consequences, believe many players.

GTA 6 is regarded as the best-kept secret in gaming, and developer Rockstar is doing everything to protect its game from leaks and the like. Now, allegedly, the son of the lead developer has shown pictures and a short video of GTA 6. There’s not much to see, but the leak is causing a lot of buzz.

5 pictures and a short video stir the rumor mill

What kind of leak is this? The leak consists of a total of 5 pictures and a TikTok video that is just a few seconds long. In fact, there’s not much to see: A few houses resembling Miami and a few cars. The video shows a desk where the pictures were taken.

Who is the source of the leak? The leak allegedly comes from the son of Aaron Garbut. He is the Art Director and head of development at Rockstar North, and is therefore deeply involved in the development of GTA 6. He doesn’t disclose how he got hold of the materials. Many believe, however, that he must have gained access to his father’s workplace without his knowledge.

What happens next? The TikTok account is now offline, but the pictures and the short video have spread rapidly across the internet and have been viewed thousands of times.

Many believe this could have serious consequences for the boy. Rockstar is likely to be well aware of who the son of the lead developer is, and penalties may be more straightforward than against an anonymous leaker who is hardly traceable online (via reddit.com):

The TikTok account has uploaded a new video that proves it is real. And as strange as it may sound, it seems that the leaker is the son of Aaron Garbut… the Art Director and head of development at Rockstar North. If this is true, his son is in real trouble. I don’t know if he [the father] will face issues, as he is not just any developer, but one from
the higher ranks.

When will there be real info about GTA 6? The leak is particularly annoying because there are supposed to be the first official details about GTA 6 in just a few days. On the coming Tuesday, the first real trailer is set to be released:

GTA 6: Date and time for the trailer now confirmed – Tuesday kicks off

LoL: Players discover brilliant build that requires you to press just one button to defeat your opponent

In LoL, the next season is starting and with it come many new changes. Already now, players have discovered a fantastic build that can help you defeat your opponents in no time.

The new season of League of Legends is just around the corner. And with it, many changes are coming to LoL, as Riot is altering items, the jungle, and also the map.

Riot is still experimenting with these changes, but the new season will feel almost like a brand new game. For instance, the biggest German Twitch streamer commented on LoL, that a change could completely alter the game.

However, players have already discovered a combination that is likely to overshadow many others. With this combination, you only need to click once to take out your opponent.

Start video
LoL: The new champion Hwei fights with a brush -Trailer

The Troll King can take out opponents with just one click

Why do such builds work now? Riot is completely changing items in LoL with the next season. For example, the mythical tier of items will be completely removed from the game. This will result in several items disappearing or being adjusted. However, the advantage is that players can now use more items, providing builds with more flexibility.

Furthermore, there are new items: spellcasters using AP will particularly benefit from the item update. AP stands for “Ability Power” and translates to “Fähigkeitsstärke”. This is one of the main damage types in LoL.

In the new season, more legendary items are set to be introduced to increase the variety of builds, which will primarily benefit champions that rely on AP. And this is exactly what the Troll King Trundle is currently benefiting from.

What combination is it about? The new build revolves around the Troll King Trundle. Players have discovered that Trundle, with the new AP items, is capable of using his ultimate ability to go from 100 to 0 instantly. His ultimate ability is “Subjugate” and immediately drains a percentage of health, armor, and magic resistance from the target. Over the next 4 seconds, the same amount is drained again. However, Trundle does not have to touch the opponent; you only need to hit him with a single click.

With the new effects of the AP items, Trundle can deal enough damage with his ultimate ability against weaker targets to kill them, without ever having to touch them. Players can cast their ultimate and run away without touching the opponent.

Many changes in the upcoming season are being discussed controversially. However, some players have even gone so far as to threaten developers. One developer has now withdrawn from social media:

A change in LoL is so controversial that a developer is receiving death threats and is now stepping back

Friendly Fire 9 raises over 1 million euros on Twitch, but cannot break its old record

With Friendly Fire 9, a charity event by well-known streamers took place over the weekend. They have now shown how much money they have raised. They broke the million mark, but they could not surpass the previous years.

What is Friendly Fire anyway? Friendly Fire is a charity action: Once a year, well-known Twitch streamers and YouTubers come together and raise money for a good cause.

This time, the stream took place on December 2, 2023, from 3 PM on Gronkh’s Twitch channel. Meanwhile, they revealed how much money has been raised.

Million mark reached, but past years not surpassed

Who participated? The lineup in 2023 remained unchanged, consisting of Erik “Gronkh” Range, the “PietSmiet” team, Tatjana “Pandorya” Werth, Pascal “MrMoreGame” Rothkegel, Florian “Der Heider” Heider, Artur “fisHC0p” Niemczuk, and Max “PhunkRoyal” Ensikat.

How much money was donated? On Twitter, the organizers posted the final amount. A total of 1,021,417 Euros were raised, just surpassing the million mark. However, they were unable to reach the amounts of previous years:

  • In 2022, a total of 1,087,542 Euros were collected.
  • In 2021, 1,283,704 Euros were raised for a good cause through the stream.

These figures reflect the pure revenue from the Twitch stream. In previous years, additional funds were raised through the sale of various merchandise items.

To which institutions does the money go? Friendly Fire 9 supports again a variety of different charitable institutions, which we have listed here. The money is collected in cooperation with the donation platform betterplace.org.

What happens next? The organizers have already announced that there will be another “Friendly Fire” stream next year. Friendly Fire 10 will take place on December 7, 2024. However, no further information has been disclosed yet.

Pokemon Go: A trainer is astonished that his trip to a Disney theme park was overrun by PokeStops and other trainers

A trainer takes a trip to a theme park and is astonished at how many PokeStops and raids there are here.

Depending on the location, there are more or fewer of them: While you can often find dozens of PokeStops in cities, they are rather rarely distributed in rural areas.

A user now explained somewhat incredulously that he would have been at Disneyland and was literally overwhelmed by Pokestops and players there.

A trip to Disneyland feels almost like “cheating”

The person themselves explains that they have never experienced anything like this, especially so many Pokestops in one single place.

Are there such places more often? Such places with very many Pokestops are indeed more common. Other players explain that such overcrowded places almost feel a bit like cheating. Because you find more than enough rewards and always find several people to do raids with:

I live in Orlando and used to have tickets for Universal. Sometimes it feels like a cheat code. There are 20 gyms and 100+ Pokestops between Citywalk and the 2 parks. You could pretty much do any raid and never had to worry about whether enough people would show up.

Anyone living in a small town or rural area has little chance of successfully completing raids or finding enough Pokestops. In particular, the corona bonuses in Pokémon Go primarily helped players in rural areas.

Was the trip worth it for the player? The player themselves explained in an update that the trip to the amusement park was worth it for them. In the park, they found 6 regular, 3 super, 3 hyper, and 9 max potions and several Pokeballs: In the end, the person had 88 Pokeballs, 26 Great Balls, and 21 Ultra Balls.

Are there practical tips for such “trips”? Yes, you should thoroughly clean out your inventory and Pokémon storage beforehand. Otherwise, you’ll find yourself between all the Pokestops and getting the unpleasant notice that your inventory is full.

Some players also point out that he would not have visited the amusement park because of Pokémon Go, but for the trip itself, and therefore should also enjoy the trip.

Fortnite: New map of Season 1 in Chapter 5 has been revealed – All changes and POIs

In Fortnite you will soon dive back into combat either solo or with your friends. Epic has launched Season 1 of Chapter 5, and clever data miners have now also discovered more information about the new map. We will show you more about it.

What is happening in Fortnite right now? All players are currently stuck on the loading screen because of the server downtime and are eagerly waiting to finally be able to play Fortnite. Since the update file has already been released, clever data miners got to work on the new hidden content.

In the process, the new map was discovered, which players will use for several months until the next chapter. We show you a brief look at the new map in the game in the trailer:

New map with few changes

Has anything changed? The new map of Chapter 5 differs greatly from the previous maps that Fortnite introduces with each new chapter. Shiina, a well-known leaker for Fortnite, has extracted it from the data:

On the map, snow-covered mountains can be seen in the north, east, and southeast. They have some POIs that can be recognized based on buildings from a bird’s eye view. In the middle and the western part of the map, the snow disappears, revealing green meadows and trees. More POIs adorn the map, while the most striking is the new rail system.

In the new launch trailer for Chapter 5, players were able to hijack a train that was actively moving on the map. It remains exciting to see how the map actually plays out when players can move freely on it.

Whether the map will change in line with the upcoming winter event and be completely covered with snow is not known. However, it is quite possible that Epic Games has something planned for this, as leakers have already found clues in the data for a winter event.

What do you think of the map? Do you think it’s good and do you also believe that Epic will gradually change the map? Let us know in the comments!

Destiny 2 is now burning you because a wish for more damage is cursed

Amidst the new quests and activities of Destiny 2, there is now a burning warning that makes the Guardians pay attention. In Season 23, a desire for more damage in “The Wind” not only sets you on fire but sometimes even your game. MeinMMO has all the details.

This bug is currently burning players: Bungie has already warned the Guardians that wishes from a wish dragon always come with a price. Interestingly, a bug has now ensured that this is actually the case.

  • The error occurs in the activity “The Wind,” where players tackle an increasing level of difficulty with each run to claim a room full of loot upon reaching platinum.
  • To assist them, Riven, the wish dragon, offers various buffs (wishes) that they can buy from her using wish glass shards before each section.

However, those who activate a specific wish there suddenly face some hot in-game effects that can set the Guardian on fire uncontrollably and even lead to the game crashing.

The latest dungeon of Destiny 2 went live yesterday, and you definitely haven’t felt hot there:

Start video
Destiny 2: Dungeon “Ruins of the Warlord” holds a brittle secret

Season 23 ignites Solar fans’ fire

Better keep your hands off this: In “The Wind,” one of the seasonal activities in Season 23, you can fulfill the level 3 advantage for more solar damage through scorching against wish glass shards. Scorching Wish promises to apply an impressive 50 scorching stacks on your enemies.

  • This effect of the wish Scorching Wish proves particularly advantageous in this Season 23, as your artifact mainly focuses on solar abilities.
  • Players who enjoy using weapons or abilities with solar energy will likely take advantage of this.

However, those who activate this wish buff with Riven will quickly regret it right now. For instance, using the hand cannon “Sunshot” already causes your character to be afflicted with infinite scorching stacks, and you will be “on fire.” Your “Well of Radiance” also gives you additional scorching buffs.

Exceptional player Esoterik quickly realized this and shared it with the community.

This fire can even kill the game: While a lot of scorching stacks alone cannot kill a Guardian, there won’t be much life left either. You may be incredibly powerful, which is quite tempting, but it only works as long as you keep healing yourself in Destiny 2 by any available means. However, eventually, you will reach a point where you have built up so many scorching stacks that even Destiny 2 crashes.

What does the community say about the joy fire? They are not annoyed by it at all, but rather excited. Because now there is a situation in Season 23 where a seemingly positive or desirable action unexpectedly leads to negative consequences.

Destiny 2 Season 23 Ahamkara bones wish
The Destiny lore is quite clear about the wishes of dragons.

Such a true irony of a seemingly good decision that one would always expect in dealing with a wish dragon.

  • h3xist is not surprised. He thinks: “I mean, we got it from a wish dragon, and every wish from them somehow goes wrong.”
  • Joemayfield wants to know and writes: “Somehow, somehow… That sounds like a challenge!”
  • MandrewMillar comments: “Even better is that the [seasonal rocket launcher] Dragon’s Breath gives you scorching with this wish. […] But damn, it’s such a fun [thing], I don’t want to miss out. […] Bungie, please do NOT FIX this bug. It’s funny because it’s a wishful bug, a real ‘Monkey’s Paw’ situation.”
What is a Monkey’s Paw situation?

The expression is sometimes also used as “Monkey’s Paw” or “Monkey’s Paw Effect” to refer to an unwanted turn or negative consequences that can arise from a specific action or, as here, a wish.

Some players even believe this is intentional. However, if you look at the game crashes, this cannot be an intended effect from Bungie. And this has now also been confirmed.

This is what Bungie says: With all the fun, the Season Creative Lead of Bungie has stated to Paul Tassi that it is not a malicious or devious intent from Riven or Bungie.

Currently, it is still unclear when the developer can fix the issue. Surely you can use the wish – but healing is only possible as long as you have enemies. If these are lacking, there is little or no way to save yourself. With just one life point left, you are then a one-shot from everything. And Destiny 2 could still crash on you. So better not tempt your luck until a solution is found.

As soon as we have more information on this, we will update our article for you.


Have you already bought the cursed wish from Riven and wondered what is killing you? And what do you think of the suggestion that certain wishes from Riven should deliberately and unpredictably have dangerous consequences for your character? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Pokémon GO: Raid Day with Hisui-Admiral starts today – Here’s how to use him properly

In Pokémon GO, the new Pokémon Hisui-Admurai debuts today, December 3rd. We summarize everything about the event for you.

When does the Raid Day take place? On Sunday, December 3rd, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM local time. It is the first major event of the new season Timeless Travels”.

What kind of event is this? The Hisui form of Admurai will appear for the first time in Pokémon GO on this Raid Day. When it will appear again afterwards is currently unknown. If you want to secure the monster for your Pokédex entry, you should seize the opportunity.

Hisui-Admurai will appear as a level-3 boss in most gyms in Pokémon GO. If you defeat it, you can catch it.

Start video
Pokémon GO shows the new season “Timeless Travels” in the trailer

How does the Raid Day with Hisui-Admurai work?

How do I defeat Hisui-Admurai? The Pokémon is of the Dark and Water type, which brings a whole range of type weaknesses. It receives increased damage from the following types:

  • Bug
  • Electric
  • Fairy
  • Fighting
  • Grass

The top counters include Mega evolutions like Mega Sceptile, Mega Gardevoir, or simply Mega Rayquaza, as it is just a beastly attacker. Otherwise, rely on Terrakion, Katakami, Voltriant, or other Pokémon from the list of the best counters against Hisui-Admurai in Pokémon GO.

Can Hisui-Admurai be shiny? Yes, the shiny form will also be catchable if you’re lucky.

What bonuses are there? The most important bonus is the additional raid passes. You can get up to five free passes during the event by spinning gym photo discs. However, note: The next pass is only available after you have used one. And they can only be redeemed on-site, not as a remote raid.

So here’s what to do to get the most opportunities:

  • Go to the gym
  • Defeat Hisui-Admurai
  • Spin at the gym for the next pass
  • Go to the next gym

Repeat this until you no longer receive free passes.

Additionally, there are two more bonuses:

  • The remote raid limit for the day is increased to twenty. This bonus starts in Germany at 1:00 AM on December 3rd and ends on December 4th at 4:00 AM.
  • There is an increased chance of encountering the shiny version of Hisui-Admurai in raids.

What does the ticket provide? There is an optional ticket in the shop, which gives you the following additional bonuses on December 3rd from 2:00 PM to 10:00 PM:

  • Up to eight additional raid passes from gym discs
  • 50% more XP from raids
  • Increased chance of XL candies
  • Double stardust from raids

Can I also get Hisui-Admurai differently? As of now, no. The Hisui variant is “decoupled” from the regular evolution line of Ottaro, Zwottronin, and Admurai in Pokémon GO and is treated as a standalone Pokémon. So you cannot evolve any of your previously caught Ottaro into Hisui-Admurai via Zwottronin.

What else is happening in Pokémon GO? Plenty, as a new season has begun in the game. We show you all events in December 2023 for Pokémon GO.

Fortnite Chapter 4: Check out the powerful live event with three new modes and Eminem

The live event “The Big Bang” took place on Saturday, December 2, in Fortnite. We from MeinMMO were live at the event marking the end of the OG Season in Chapter 4. Here we report how the concert by Eminem went.

Everything has come to a head: Since the beginning of Season: OG fans have been able to visit the old map of Chapter 1 in nostalgic atmosphere and fight with legendary weapons and items from that meta. A touching moment for the community that brought many players back on board.

In the background, however, the story continued and Sloane along with Jonesy worked to switch to another reality using the Visitor’s rocket. The live event therefore served as the pivot point for the switch. We show you what happened.

Here’s how the live event “The Big Bang” proceeded:

This is what happened at the live event marking the end of Season OG: If you survived the queues, you spawned near the Visitor’s rocket. Players could chat there with emotes until the start. Before that, players were allowed to calibrate their audio settings.

Fortnite-Live-Event-Chapter-4-Ende

The event started with the rocket launch and an alarm. Players could watch as a rift opened in front of the meteor and the map was torn again into the infamous black hole. Everything seemed lost, but then a portal opened and took your skin into space, where many universes with different content awaited the players.

Among the contents were a Lego world with familiar Fortnite faces like the Durr Burger. In this dimension, players could build houses and even fight against nasty monsters.

The second universe brought players into a world of racing cars. Fans could race on a racetrack and compete with their colleagues. Various moves like boosts or jumps could be performed with the cars.

Last but not least, there came a musical dimension, where players could attend a concert by Eminem. The rap song could then be played by the players themselves like in Guitar Hero using keys. Eminem himself crashed his own concert and then performed the song “Godzilla.”

After all universes were visited, your player floated through the depths of space filled with more universes and now stood before the universe of the “Battle Royale” world. There is not yet a server downtime, as Epic Games wants to host its live event two more times.

When does Chapter 5 Season 1 start? So far, there is no information. We will keep you updated if something new is released. Epic Games plans to hold its “Big Bang” event two more times and after the last date at 5:00 AM German time on Sunday, there should be server maintenance.

Now that the live event for Chapter 4 Season: OG is over, we ask ourselves how you felt about the implementation and Eminem’s appearance? Did you expect Epic Games to plan so much? Let us know in the comments!

This is one of the largest live events Fortnite has ever created. The developers are ending Chapter 4 and then starting Chapter 5 with a big bang. The event is named “The Big Bang.”

You should be aware of the following: Note that you can join the event mode 30 minutes before the event. Since this is a huge event, you should log in with your account 3 to 4 hours before the event, as you might face long waiting times and thus miss the event.

The live event is meant to mark a new start for Fortnite

What can I expect at the live event? Many leakers managed to access the new update data after Patch 27.11 and found out that Epic Games has prepared many things that players can expect at the event.

The main attraction of the event is expected to be a performance by Eminem, the iconic rapper, who you shouldn’t mess with. However, according to Epic, this is not a concert; Slim Shady is supposed to play a significant role and usher us into Chapter 5. What Epic Games has planned and whether Eminem will rap a song or two is still unknown.

Fortnite-Eminem-Event

What is known, however, is that Epic Games has entered into a partnership with Lego. In the background image of the Fortnite lobby, there is a llama that has been built with Lego. There have been many rumors from leakers about this beforehand (via twitter.com), that Epic Games is working on a Lego mode, and with Chapter 5, it might finally come to fruition.

Additionally, Fortnite contains the following encrypted data about upcoming modes (via twitter.com):

  • Lego mode
  • Rocket League racing mode
  • Fortnite festival mode

Epic Games has allowed players to see or test things in live events that were then added in the new chapter or season. So it could be that players might temporarily swagger around Fortnite as Lego beings and drive around in race cars to test the new modes.

Lastly, Epic Games themselves claim that the live event of Chapter 4 is meant to mark a reboot for Fortnite. How big the reboot will actually be we will probably only see on December 2.

Will there be downtime after the event? Yes, and this has already been announced by Epic Games. On Sunday, December 3, 2023, Fortnite will start server maintenance at 05:30 AM German time.

What happens in the time between the end of the live event and the start of maintenance is not known, but we suspect that Epic will deactivate the servers right after the event. Players have often had to wait before an endless loading screen until Epic started maintenance hours later.

That was all the important information about the upcoming live event of Fortnite. Should new information be released, we will add it in our article.

Here was the discovery: A player shared on reddit that he started the game with the new difficulty level Honour, created his character, and noticed that the penis would now dangle. He expressed his amazement with the following humorous question: Did penises always wobble?

How are players reacting? On reddit and X, numerous individuals spoke out. The community is obviously lively about it. We have summarized some comments for you:

  • The top comment with over 5,000 upvotes comes from scones_coven, with the brief words: “Patch 5 – The gift that keeps on giving”
  • camroamkk writes in another reddit post: “So… I play completely naked with my male characters. Don’t judge me. […] For example, their dangling parts now swing back and forth when they run, walk or even move with the wind. I love it.”
  • Present-Book-9690 emphasizes: jiggle physics… you have to love them.
  • When I […] started the game today and realized that there is now penis wobbling, I sat grinning and giggling and turned my character around, so his handy tool flew in the wind. […], writes SynthesisNexus on reddit.

Players have also voiced their opinions on X. Larian Studios secretly adds penis physics and then just leaves it to us to discover this jumpscare on our own, writes goulbrainz.

If you want to take a closer look at the wobbling, you can do so at Kotaku, which has released a video about it.

If you want to discover this for yourself, you can now do so in-game. Patch 5 will be remembered not only for its cool improvements but also for this surprising and amusing discovery.

With a new trailer, Fortnite gives a taste of the “Battle Pass” skins in Chapter 5 Season 1. There is a brief glimpse of the map, focusing on the new skins, weapons, and new systems that you will try out.

What skins can I expect? In line with the server downtime, the trailer provides a brief overview of the skins that await you in the Battle Pass. Additionally, new weapons are demonstrated, many of which are newcomers. The following skins were spotted:

  • Peter Griffin from Family Guy
  • Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid
  • Underground Jonesy
  • A tiger mercenary
  • An agent with a golden mask
  • An agent with sunglasses and short green hair
  • An agent with sunglasses, black hair, and a ponytail
  • An agent with a long white coat

Additionally, there are many styles that players can unlock over the course of the season for their respective skins. The skins were already revealed in advance through a leak, but the new gameplay trailer has confirmed the leak once again.

Here you can watch the gameplay trailer yourself:

Weapon mods, new parkour, and many new items

What else happens in the trailer? The trailer briefly touches on the story of Chapter 5. Jonesy discovers a hidden message underground that shows his banana buddy “Peely” has been kidnapped. With new weapons and his colleague, he plunges back into the chaos of the Battle Royale.

The trailer features new features such as:

  • An expanded parkour system that allows players to even climb walls
  • Weapons receive mods that adjust your weapons to your playstyle
  • Additionally, a train is supposed to circle the Chapter 5 map, which can be hijacked and searched for treasures and items

Furthermore, new items such as a tactical shield and a grappler have been introduced. The shield blocks your shots and you can charge at your enemies with it.

The grappler, on the other hand, behaves like the one from the collaboration with Attack on Titan. Aim at a point and pull yourself towards it; if an enemy is nearby, you can additionally perform a strong melee attack to deal damage while swinging.

The map has not yet been shown in detail. The trailer reveals new locations and structures that resemble classic British buildings.

There will also be no shortage of cars, as they are back, for instance in the form of Lamborghinis. A cooperation between Fortnite and the car manufacturer is not known, but the trailer shows many Lambos with the brand name.

When does Season 1 in Chapter 5 start? We cannot say for sure. So far, many Fortnite fans are waiting for the upcoming live event, which is supposed to take place today at 8:00 PM German time with Eminem. It is therefore quite conceivable that on Sunday morning or noon, after a server downtime, the new content will be made available to you.
