In the “No Food Challenge” of Twitch streamer Maximilian “Trymacs” Stemmler, 8 content creators are competing against each other by starving. After an emergency doctor was called, the fire department now also has to respond.
What is this challenge about? Together with 7 other streamers, Trymacs is abstaining from food for a week in the “No Food Challenge.” The kickoff was on March 11, with 3 participants having already dropped out. An emergency doctor was already called during this time:
Just before the finish line, the group around the 28-year-old set off a major fire department operation on the evening of March 17.
Chaos team triggers fire department deployment
How did the deployment come about? In the “No Food Challenge,” almost everything is designed to make it as uncomfortable as possible for the participants. Regular guests visit to cook on-site and tempt the starving content creators.
Things went wrong this time: On the evening of March 17, about 24 hours before the end of the challenge, the soccer team of Trymacs wanted to whet the participants’ appetites with a juicy steak.
However, during the not-so-professional preparation, there was a lot of smoke. Apparently, none of the kitchen heroes thought to activate the exhaust hood, and shortly after, the smoke detector went off.
Although worried viewers demanded a ban for Trymacs due to the risks of the event, the streamer has so far gotten away unscathed. Others have not been so lucky:

The 8,000-Euro steak
What was the problem? As Trymacs reported in his Instagram story, the rented event location is in an office complex with about 30 other parties. If a smoke detector goes off in such facilities, the fire department automatically responds.
In Trymacs’ case, the fire department sent several response vehicles, and the police was on site as well. The content creators watched in disbelief as one vehicle after another turned the corner. We have embedded the entire drama for you here; starting at 4:15, the unfortunate events unfold:

What happened next? As Trymacs reports, the firefighters were understanding. When he apologized for the false alarm, they said that was how you get to know each other.
The deployment is said to have incurred costs of 8,000 Euros. However, it is unclear whether the streamer will be responsible for these costs. Usually, it does not have to be paid if an unnecessary deployment was not triggered intentionally. However, if the smoke detector is triggered by gross negligence, those responsible must pay for the deployment (via anwalt.de).
Trymacs summarizes this succinctly in his Instagram story: “This is bullshit.” (Story available temporarily).
From 12:00 to 14:00 today, March 18, on Trymacs’ channel, the finale of the “No Food Challenge” is taking place. The grand breaking of the fast will follow at 19:15.
Even if Trymacs has to bear the costs of the operation, it should not hit the streamer too hard. The 28-year-old managed to reach the top spot among the most-watched streamers worldwide with his challenge. You can read here which factors may have contributed to the success of the event:
The Destiny 2 community received the sad news that Lance Reddick, the voice of Commander Zavala and “John Wick” star, unexpectedly passed away at the age of 60. Guardians from all over the world express their condolences in the game, honoring a great actor.
Update 18.03: We have expanded this article with Bungie’s official statement.
As TMZ reported on the afternoon of March 17, 2023, Lance Reddick passed away at the age of only 60.
Who was Lance Reddick? Lance Reddick was the kind of actor who improved every single project just by being there. Including Destiny 2.
In Destiny 2, Lance Reddick was known as the voice actor of Titan Lord Zavala for 9 years. He has been speaking every voice line of Zavala since 2014.
Who is Commander Zavala in Destiny 2?
Commander Zavala is the commander of the Last City in Destiny 2 and has been a pillar of the Destiny universe since 2017. He is also one of the first characters players encounter in the game after awakening as a Guardian and blasting their way through an alien-infested planet.
For a long time, Commander Zavala was aloof and a stoic old Titan who has seen much – but not much more was known. Only with the “Witch Queen” DLC did Bungie let players peek under his iron shell and significantly developed his character.
When you saw Commander Zavala in the Tower, standing alone and looking at the Traveler while discussing the current chaotic state of the Vanguard, his allies, and the universe, it was always the voice of Lance Reddick that conveyed it all in soothing but very certain words.
Additionally, you could also hear his voice in other video games, such as “Horizon Zero Dawn”, “Vox Machina”, “Paradise PD”, or “Quantum Break”.
He also played alongside Keanu Reeves in the “John Wick” films as the smart concierge Charon of the Continental in New York and always had to watch the dog there.
You also know him from other acting roles like game villain Albert Wesker in “Resident Evil”, Lieutenant Cedric Daniels in “The Wire”, Philip Broyles in the sci-fi series “Fringe: Cases of the FBI”, Papa Legba in “American Horror Story”, or as Irvin Irving in “Bosch”.
This image was shared by Robert Paul on Twitter – It shows Guardians gathering around Zavala
He was happy to be a part of Destiny
As long as he worked for Bungie, Reddick enjoyed interacting regularly with Destiny fans on his personal Twitter account. Many Guardians remember him for his charming, easy-going nature and small jokes.
His death came far too suddenly: His last message on Twitter was shared on March 15, and a day before his death he played in Destiny 2 the seasonal story of the season and explored Neomuna.
Although the cause of his death is unknown, it is said to be a “sudden and natural death.” His agent Mia Hansen explained this to the AFP news agency. Thus, a legend left us far too early, leaving Destiny players particularly in mourning.
Lance Reddick has long held a special place in the hearts of Destiny players. Therefore, his death now touches thousands of Guardians.
Especially since Lance Reddick saw himself as one of them, as he once revealed in an interview with Polygon: “At the end of the day, I’m just a big fan who happens to also give a voice to one of the characters.”
The Guardians in Destiny appreciated that a famous actor and voice actor not only worked for Bungie, but loved Destiny and shared that love with them.
Guardians from around the world show their condolences in Destiny 2
This is how the Guardians show their respect: Numerous members of the Destiny community have already expressed their condolences to the relatives of Lance Reddick.
And those who logged into the game afterward could see many Guardians kneeling in memory of the deceased actor in front of his Destiny alter-ego Commander Zavala or gathering around him with respectful emotes.
Destiny Bulletin shared some images of this on Twitter:

Guardians pay tribute to Lance Reddick at the Tower, kneeling before Commander Zavala
Player Robert Young expresses the feelings of mourning Guardians directly:
I know that most people know Lance Reddick from television and movies, but for us Destiny 2 players, he was the voice of Commander Zavala, who inspired us Guardians over the last decade. Since we heard the news, we have gathered silently at his location in the Tower.
Guillaume Colomb, Narrative Director for Bungie at Imagendary Studios tweeted: “I had the honor of working with Lance Reddick on Destiny 2 for many years. I even met him in person once and he was the nicest person you could imagine. He approached his work with Zavala so thoughtfully. Such a loss.”
This is what Bungie says about the unexpected loss
Update, March 18: Bungie has now also spoken up and announced:
Lance was an icon on the screen, in Destiny, and especially in person. His love for our community was reflected in Commander Zavala, in his unwavering dedication to his task, and in the radiating kindness that touched everyone around him. To say we will miss him is a profound understatement, but no less true. Rest in peace, Lance.
Even though Lance Reddick is no longer in this world, the influence he had through his work as Zavala on the lives of Guardians will always be remembered and immortalized. Please take a moment to appreciate and celebrate the man behind the character and the joy he brought to the players.

Magic: The Gathering has released quite a few cards that have been sold for thousands of dollars. In June, the hunt for the rarest Magic card of all time begins. Fans are already trying to secure the card.
What kind of card is this? The collectible card game Magic: The Gathering keeps coming up with new tricks to maintain the collectors’ passion even after 30 years. For the upcoming crossover with the Lord of the Rings universe, they have come up with something very special.
A card is supposed to be printed only once. This would make the “One Ring” a highlight of any collection. It’s clear that collectors spare no expense or effort to secure the rare card.
What is this offer? The well-known collector Dan Bock offered a bounty of $100,000 in a Facebook group for high-end trading and swapping of Magic cards for the unique card. Alternatively, he offers to outbid the highest serious offer.
Here’s the catch: However, Bock sets a condition for the deal to happen: The lucky finder who gets their hands on the ring must not tell anyone about it. Only after the purchase has taken place may it be reported.
In a revised version of the original post, the collector clarified that he does not want to take the credit for finding the card: Once the purchase is completed, the finder may boast about their booster luck. He himself is not concerned about being the person who opened the crucial pack.
Collector did not want the card to be sold too cheaply
What’s behind this? The US site Dexerto spoke with Dan Bock about the bounty he announced. The collector explained that he has seen some other offers for the card, but they seemed too low to him.
He feared that unscrupulous collectors might take advantage of an unsuspecting lucky finder. The $100,000 is therefore just a starting price to “get people talking”.
Despite the seemingly good intentions of the collector, Dan Bock’s offer did not sit well with everyone. Many fans say that the bountied prize money is still too low and that Bock himself is trying to acquire the card below its value.
Others seem less concerned about the monetary value; they would likely just keep the card because it is a special collectible item.
Bock himself says he does not rule out raising his original offer. However, he has not yet seen any higher price. However, it is quite possible that collectors will outbid each other upon release in June. After all, much higher prices have already been paid for MTG cards:
Rust is a survival game that launched in 2013 and achieved great success on Steam. In 2021, it was also released for PS4 and Xbox One. Now, the developers behind the game had to cancel an event because they received death threats that they take seriously. It is common in the survival genre, says one of the developers. Players were upset about changes in the game – especially cheaters and cheat creators would harass and threaten developers.
What event is Rust canceling? Facepunch, the British studio behind Rust, had planned a small event on the sidelines of the ‘Game Developers Conference.’ They wanted to talk, converse, and exchange ideas with fans in a cafe in San Francisco.
However, in a statement on March 15, the team said (via twitter): They have to cancel the event because they received an ‘IRL Threat,’ a threat ‘in real life,’ that they take seriously.
The team will still participate in the conference, appearing in panel talks, but they will not be available for a peaceful meet and greet as planned.

Rust – Official Trailer
Received threat to “kill the studio”
What kind of threat was that? In a conversation with PC Gamer, producer Alistair McFarlane explains that the location of the meeting was made public and they received a threat to “kill the studio.”
Therefore, the studio decided it would be too dangerous and would put too much stress on the employees to hold the meeting.
McFarlane says: ‘These threats are very disturbing and must be taken seriously.’
Especially cheaters are a source of threats and insults
What makes this so distressing? In a conversation with PC Gamer, the producer says that such threats are common for teams behind survival games:
Developers who talk to the community receive such threats daily when people voice their dissatisfaction about changes on social media.
Especially cheat creators frequently threaten and harass developers – and go to great lengths to target individual employees.
In some cases, employees and their family members have already had to change personal details – this is very stressful for mental health.
McFarlane also says: The overwhelming majority of fans are respectful and support the employees, but there is always a small number of individuals who stand out with abusive behavior and even threats.
Rust has repeatedly made headlines in recent years because it serves as a great sandbox for Twitch streamers:
Emmett Shear was at Twitch when it was still called Justin.tv. As a co-founder, he accompanied the streaming platform for 16 years, nearly 12 of which as CEO. Now the CEO is stepping down and the new one is already in the wings.
What is the story of Emmett Shear and Twitch? Shear was one of the co-founders of Twitch and the last remaining founding member in the company. In October 2006, he launched a reality TV show together with Justin Kan, which was broadcast around the clock on the website of the same name:
Justin.tv showed Kan’s life using a webcam attached to his head and was, as Shear writes in his farewell post, a pretty bad idea. After about 8 months, it evolved into a streaming platform where anyone could create a channel and stream.
In 2011, the gaming sector of justin.tv was spun off and went online as a standalone website, with Shear as CEO: TwitchTV. In August 2014, justin.tv finally went offline and Amazon reportedly bought Twitch for 970 million US dollars.

Prime Gaming, the secret behind Twitch’s success
CEO says Twitch is old enough to manage on its own
Why is Shear stepping down now? In a blog post that he shared as a farewell on Twitch, Shear names the birth of his first child as the reason. He wants to be fully present when his son explores the world. Twitch, which has been almost like a child to him, is now old enough to move out and doesn’t need him anymore.
Shear writes that he is ready for this new phase of his life and wants to take on new challenges. He, however, thanks all the streamers who have entrusted their content to the platform.
What happens now? Shear is apparently not completely turning his back on Twitch but will remain involved in a consulting role.
Dan Clancy, the current president of Twitch, is to replace Shear as CEO effective immediately. The change is already being discussed on Twitter. Many users are dissatisfied with Shear’s leadership in recent years and are now hoping for change (via Twitter).
Twitch users hope for a new era
What have been the problems lately? Under Shear’s leadership, Twitch became huge, recording more than 8 million active streamers monthly. However, towards the end of his tenure, user dissatisfaction grew:
The sub-split is significantly lower at Twitch at 50/50 compared to competitors like YouTube (70/30) and the controversial platform Kick (95/5). This means Twitch keeps 50% of the revenue from paid subscriptions. In 2022, Twitch revised the sub-system, but not in the way that streamers wanted.
Besides subs, streamers can also monetize their channels through ads. But the changes introduced in 2022 caused a lot of frustration for both streamers and viewers: too much advertising for too little money.
The opaque banning policy: Twitch has always reserved the right not to publicly comment on bans. The perma-ban of former star streamer DrDisrespect still remains a puzzle today. In addition, the lengths of bans have increasingly been perceived as arbitrary: this escalated when a female streamer was banned for only 7 days after having sex during a stream in September 2022 (via dexerto).
Some users also criticize that Shear has been little present. In some comments, the question arises about what he has actually been doing in recent years (via Twitter).
Content creators and viewers have thus become increasingly dissatisfied with Twitch’s performance and lack of transparency. It remains unclear how things will change under Dan Clancy’s leadership.
The new CEO was criticized in October 2022 by an IRL streamer for having no understanding of the needs of content creators. After meeting Clancy, the streamer said he had no trust in the platform (dexerto).
The German Twitch streamer Staiy is among the platform’s critics. In a stream, he reflected on 2022 and the changes that are planned for the current year. He was far from enthusiastic about it.
Figment 2: Creed Valley is a new puzzle and action-adventure game with co-op, where you are thrown into a surreal world. The game has received relatively few reviews so far, but is doing very well on Steam with 96% positive ratings.
The setting in Figment 2: Creed Valley is the human mind. In a colorful, musical journey, you try to restore peace in your head. You can play the game alone or with a friend in local co-op.
The game comes from the indie studio “Bedtime Digital Games” from Denmark, which consists of 12 people.
Figment 2: Creed Valley is the independent successor to Figment, which has also received relatively few ratings on Steam, but performs very well with player ratings: 87% positive reviews out of a total of 837 ratings (as of March 13, 2023, via Steam).
Here you can see a trailer for Figment 2: Creed Valley:

Figment 2: Creed Valley
Musical Journey Through the Human Mind
What is the gameplay like in Figment 2: Creed Valley? You play as Dusty, the embodiment of courage within the mind. You will be accompanied by Piper, who is controlled by another person in local co-op mode.
The human mind, in which you find yourself, is plagued by nightmares that cause chaos. Now it is your task to restore mental peace by traveling to the Valley of Convictions.
To do this, you need to solve tricky puzzles and explore the colorful game world. Figment 2 places a strong emphasis on music. Rhythm game elements are also incorporated into the combat, and the nightmares have their own songs.
The mind has two different states: open-minded and narrow-minded. To solve the various puzzles, you have to switch between these two perspectives repeatedly. Sometimes you are in exploration mode, open to new ideas, and other times you focus more on inner thoughts. Depending on the mode, your surroundings and the NPCs behave differently.
Here you can see some screenshots from the game
How do players rate Figment 2: Creed Valley? The game impresses mainly with its music and is considered a nice, fun game:
ProFriend: “The game is funny, entertaining, easy, and honestly a hidden gem. The songs are great and really hilarious. […]”
matthewjessey34: ‘The Figment series is truly a masterpiece of soothing fun and sound design. I truly thank you for these games. I will be a fan of Bedtime Games for life :)’
Christian: ‘Was on my wishlist since May 30, 2019, and now it is finally here. Great game, like Figment 1. Great graphics, music, and puzzles, and also a great price. 20 euros for 5 hours is not exactly cheap. But it is recommended for fans of the series.’
Some note that the playtime in Figment 2 is quite short: According to their statements, it takes about 5 hours to complete the game. This time span is also indicated on the website howlongtobeat.com.
In Pokémon GO the special research “Field Notes: Fantastically Phlegmatic” is offered on Community Day. We from MeinMMO show you the contents and rewards of the €1 ticket.
What kind of ticket is this? In Pokémon GO, the Community Day with Phlegmon and Galar-Phlegmon takes place today, March 18, 2023. As is customary for Community Days, there is also a special research for this event that can be purchased in the in-game shop for €0.99.
The new research is called “Field Notes: Fantastically Phlegmatic.” We will show you what it’s about here.
Field Notes: Fantastically Phlegmatic – All Tasks and Rewards
Where does the information come from? The Community Day with Phlegmon starts in Germany at 14:00 local time, but players in other time zones could already start or even complete the event.

Is buying the event ticket with eF-eM worth it?
You need to know: Basically, with the ticket, you get some encounters with Phlegmon, but also some items. The price comparison shows that you can get the items a bit cheaper with the research than if you were to buy them individually in the shop:
For one Smoke, you pay 40 coins in the shop, which is about €0.40.
A Lucky Egg costs 80 coins in the shop, about €0.80.
A Rocket Radar costs 200 coins in the shop, about €2.
Furthermore, there are some Phlegmon candies, balls, berries, Stardust, and XP throughout the research, which is always a nice bonus when you are on the way to the next level.
Who should get the ticket? If you are only interested in Phlegmon, you don’t necessarily need the ticket – the monsters spawn abundantly in the wild during the event. However, you will quickly get all evolutions of Phlegmon and Galar-Phlegmon together in the research.
But if you want to pick up a few items on the side, or if you wanted to buy some of the items anyway, the research might be for you. Additionally, there are some interesting Phlegmon facts from the Professor if you have a bit of time for that.

On March 18, the Community Day with Slowpoke runs in Pokémon GO. We at MeinMMO will show you everything about the bonuses, event content, and the shiny. We will also tell you how to make the best use of the day.
What event is it? Every month, there is a so-called Community Day in Pokémon GO, where a specific Pokémon is highlighted. This Pokémon will then be found more frequently in the game, and the chances of finding a shiny are increased during this time. The event is accompanied by various bonuses.
On Saturday, it’s that time again, and you can expect the Community Day with Slowpoke and its Galar form. We will show you what to expect at this event and how to make the best use of the day.
Community Day with Slowpoke in March – Start, Bonuses
What? Community Day with Slowpoke and Galar-Slowpoke When? Saturday, March 18, 2023, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM local time Pokémon of the Day: Slowpoke and Galar-Slowpoke will spawn almost everywhere in the wild Exclusive move: Surf, if you evolve Slowpoke or its Galar form into Slowbro, Galar-Slowbro, or Slaking, as well as Galar-Slaking (up to 5 hours after the event) Bonuses: – Incense and Lure Modules last 3 hours (except for Adventure Incense) – Triple XP for catching Pokémon – Double Candy for catching Pokémon – Double chance for XL Candy when catching Pokémon (from Trainer Level 31) – Surprise encounters from snapshots – Event quests at PokéStops (Reward: King Stones, Stardust, Ultra Balls) – Event stickers from PokéStops and gifts
Additional bonuses (until 10:00 PM local time) – Additional Special Trade (maximum 2 on this day) – 50% less Stardust cost when trading – Timed research related to Slowpoke and Galar-Slowpoke (Reward: up to 4 King Stones) – changed conditions when evolving Galar-Slowpoke: Instead of 30 Poison-type Pokémon, you need to catch 30 Psychic-type Pokémon on this day while Galar-Slowpoke is your buddy.
The Community Day with Slowpoke and its Galar form lasts just like the events in the previous months over 3 event hours. Only the trade bonuses, the special move, the timed research, and the altered conditions when evolving Galar-Slowpoke will still be available for 5 more hours after the event.
In-game shop content: In the in-game shop, you can also find various items again on occasion of the Community Day with Slowpoke. Here’s what to expect:
Event ticket for the special research ‘Field Notes: Fantastically Phlegmatic’ for Slowpoke for just under 1 Euro
New avatar items (Slowpoke hat, Slowpoke rod shirt)
These are the new event stickers for the C-Day with Slowpoke
Bonus raid battles: If you still haven’t had enough of Slowpoke and its Galar form after the Community Day, you can battle both monsters in Level 4 raids. The raids are again only playable in-person, however, after a victory, they will bring you more Slowpoke spawns around the arena for 30 minutes. The shiny chances are just as high as on C-Day.
What counters you should use against the two Pokémon, you can read in our raid guide:
Who is the Community Day with Slowpoke worth it for?
Can you catch shiny Slowpoke? Yes, during the Community Day, you can catch both Slowpoke and for the first time its Galar form as shiny with a bit of luck. The chance will usually be increased on that day. To secure (Galar) Slowbro and (Galar) Slaking as shiny, you have to evolve them accordingly.
Slowpoke, Slowbro, and Slaking as well as their Galar forms each normal (left) and as shiny (right)
How strong is Slowpoke? Slowpoke and its evolutions Slowbro and Slaking are not particularly strong, either in their normal form or in their Galar form. They are not very suitable for use in raids and the GO Battle League.
However, Slowbro also has a temporary Mega Evolution of the types Water and Psychic, which is somewhat stronger. This could be useful for you in one or the other raid.
Who should take advantage of the C-Day? The Community Day with Slowpoke is especially suitable for shiny hunters. Particularly Galar-Slowpoke will be available for the first time in its shiny form. Normally, the Psychic Pokémon also only hatches from 7 km eggs, which is why, after the event, it will usually only be found as shiny with a fair amount of luck.
So if you want to have a complete shiny collection, you should not miss the event. Maybe you’ll also encounter a strong Slowpoke that you can evolve into Mega-Slowbro. Otherwise, you should rather focus on the best attackers in Pokémon GO.
But you should not neglect the bonuses on this day either. They are perfect for boosting your (XL) candy stock and farming plenty of experience points. You will need these on the way to level 50.
A selection of the best attackers is shown in the following video:

Pokémon GO: The strongest attackers of all types in the video
How to make the best use of the Community Day with Slowpoke
Make space: To make the most of the event, you should clear plenty of space in your Pokémon bag. Only then can you collect a lot of Slowpoke and Galar-Slowpoke and secure the candy and XP bonuses.
To sort your storage as quickly as possible, it makes sense to use the tag and filter function in the game. By entering “0*,1*,2*” you will get only monsters that have a maximum of 2 stars. To send additional monsters during the event, you can combine this search function with the input “Older0” and only Pokémon that are not older than 24 hours will be shown.
This is how you can use the filters
What items are important? In addition to plenty of space in the Pokémon bag, you also need the right items. You will need the following:
Balls: If you want to catch a lot that day, you should have as many balls ready as possible. We recommend at least 200 pieces. Especially Ultra Balls are great for catching unruly specimens.
Razz Berries: If you want to get a particularly high amount of candy, you should feed your monsters Razz Berries before catching them. This doubles the amount of candy for that catch.
Lucky Eggs: To make even better use of the XP bonus when catching, you can set a Lucky Egg. This doubles your experience points for 30 minutes. This is also a good option in combination with leveling up your friendship level. It’s best to coordinate here with other trainers.
Incense & Lure Modules: To attract even more specimens, you can use Incense and Lure Modules. Both last 3 hours and thus cover the entire event.
Which Mega Pokémon is needed? To secure an additional candy bonus, it is advisable if you perform a Mega Evolution in Pokémon GO. This must have the same type as the monster you want to catch. Since Slowpoke and Galar-Slowpoke both belong to the Psychic type, you should choose one of the following monsters:
Mega-Slowbro
Mega-Latias
Mega-Latios
Mega-Alakazam
Mega-Guardvoir
Mega-Medicham
How do you like the Community Day with Slowpoke and Galar-Slowpoke? Will you try to secure enough shiny specimens? And which bonus do you like best? Let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments.
In FIFA 23, there is a completely new event called FUT Ballers. We summarize the information here.
When does FUT Ballers start? FUT Ballers started on Friday, March 17, 2023, in Ultimate Team. The event starts at 7:00 PM.
The announcement of the event came a bit as a surprise. On the one hand, because it is a completely new event for FIFA 23, and on the other hand, because players were actually expecting the FUT Birthday. In FIFA 22, for example, the FUT Birthday took place in March.
The traditional Birthday event is likely postponed for now. What is clear: the “FUT Ballers” event is currently running.
FUT Ballers in FIFA 23 – Improve cards with SBCs & tasks
What is FUT Ballers? FUT Ballers is a completely new event that hasn’t existed in previous FIFA editions.
It started on March 17 at 7:00 PM – and not with a team that ends up in packs, as is often the case with other events. Instead, daily Squad Building Challenges with different players will be available throughout the event week.
Some of them have already been shown by EA on Twitter:
https://twitter.com/easportsfifa
These can then be improved by completing corresponding “Play-to-Style” challenges.
Additionally, EA Sports explained that players can earn a “FUT Birthday Team 1” pack by fully completing the “Play-to-Style” goals. This is set to be available from March 24. So the Birthday event is likely coming up (via EA.com).
In German, the tasks are called “Play with Style” challenges. The first Squad Building Challenge is already available. There, you can get Liverpool player Luis Díaz for your team. You only need to exchange one team with the requirements: one Liverpool player, 83 team rating, 11 players total.
The task should be easy to solve if you can rely on a few players from the club. More SBCs are expected to follow in the coming days.
Recently, the “Fantasy” event took place in FIFA 23. This also brought an SBC for Dante, who received a pretty crazy striker card for FIFA 23.

In March during the Community Day, you will encounter Psyduck and Galarian Psyduck in Level 4 raids. We will show you the best counters for these raids in Pokémon GO.
What are these raids? During the Community Days in March, the Psyduck family will be in the spotlight. Following the event, you will find Level 4 raids where you will encounter Psyduck and Galarian Psyduck as opponents. If you win a battle, Psyduck and Galarian Psyduck will spawn in the vicinity of the arena for 30 minutes.
Keep in mind that you can only enter these raids with raid passes and premium raid passes. Participation from afar is not possible.
In the overview, we show you the best counters for each of the two bosses. The raids are active from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM local time.
With these counters, the battle against Psyduck and its Galar form should pose no problem for you. You can easily defeat both Pokémon by yourself and then enjoy the spawns around the arena.
You can now play Diablo 4, currently still in beta. When you create a character, you have the option to make it a “hardcore character.” MeinMMO explains what that is – and why you as a newbie should stay away from it.
What is Hardcore? Hardcore gameplay has been part of Diablo for ages and is also possible in Diablo 4. If you play this mode, your character is no longer playable when it dies – a so-called “permadeath.” The opposite of this is Softcore.
The system is designed to give the achievements of players a bit more weight. For example, in Diablo 2, it was a big deal when the first player reached level 99 in Hardcore, as any mistake could mean the end.
Gameplay is also different, as hardcore players typically rely more on survival skills, whereas softcore players usually focus on pure damage output. Accordingly, the builds also differ.
You already have the opportunity in the currently running beta of Diablo 4 to make any character a hardcore character. Just check the “Hardcore” box when creating your character and entering a name.

Diablo 4 is getting an important feature later – 5 things you probably didn’t know
Hardcore or Softcore – What’s the Difference
Is Hardcore worth it? That is a matter of taste, and if you like the thrill, you should definitely try Hardcore. However, in the beta, we strongly advise against playing Hardcore at the moment, even for veterans.
There are server issues at the start of the beta, and the whole purpose of the test is to test server load. Accordingly, there may be disconnects and lags, which can quickly kill your character.
Even if you know what you’re doing, it can happen that permanent death occurs without your own mistake. This would be particularly annoying if you have reached level 19 and are about to claim your cute reward.
What is Softcore like? If you play Softcore, you have no differences, other than that you can be revived upon death. Either by yourself at the next waypoint or in co-op by friends.
However, you have access to the same loot and the same abilities as a hardcore character. Especially if you are new to the ARPG genre or just starting with Diablo, it is advisable to first familiarize yourself with the classes.

Exo-merchant Xur visits Destiny 2 again this weekend. Do you need Exos? He has them. MeinMMO shows you his current offer and reveals his location.
What happened this week in Destiny 2? Lightfall continues to struggle with issues. It’s not just the launch difficulties of the new beginning planned by Bungie.
The emotions of the Guardians are also divided over valuations, which are additionally linked to a bizarre ranking system. MeinMMO showed you everything, what you need to complete for Guardian ranks 8-11. After that, our readers found even less positive aspects of the system.
Additionally, even the smallest tasks in the game have been a torment for some Guardians. Especially patrols and lost sectors. This is doubly bad because the loot further frustrated them.
Otherwise, Bungie quickly put a stop to a cheese with strand for acquiring exquisite armor and forced Gahlran the burden bearer from the dungeon “Duality” to retrain.
At least one weapon brought some fun back to the game, as it is the surprise of its archetype and has just as many advantages as tentacles:
New gameplay of Destiny 2: Lightfall takes you to spectacular heights – “This moment was made for Guardians”
All info about Xur on March 17, 2023 – PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S
When does Xur come? As a merchant of rare exotic goods in Destiny 2, Xur visits the universe every Friday at 6:00 PM. To shop with him, you only need some in-game currency to fill the gaps in your collection.
Where is Xur? This is his stock for the weekend
Xur’s position: Although Xur only actively uses a few location positions on the destination sites, no Guardian knows before 6:00 PM where he will land.
Here is where Xur is: Fly to the European Dead Zone “Twisted Cove”
Here you can expect Xur
Xur’s inventory from March 17 – 21 – All exotics at a glance
What does Xur have to offer? Even in the Lightfall DLC, Xur is not tired of doing his business. The nice “I am the messenger of the Nine” conversation comes for free.
This is Xur’s offer this week:
Xur’s offer from March 17 – 21, 2023
Weapon: “Lord of Wolves” – shotgun for 29 legendary shards

Xur also sells legendary items and offers unique rolls for exotics from no longer available exotic missions from past DLCs each week. However, note: You can only buy the weapons if you own the appropriate expansion.
Currently, he has these two weapons on offer:
The exotic hand cannon “Fatebringer” (Beyond Light DLC) with “Tracker”
The exotic scout rifle “The Last Word” (Beyond Light DLC) with “Outlaw”
The first Trials of Osiris in Lightfall
The Trials start a week earlier in Season 20
Why no Iron Banner? A week earlier than originally planned, the Trials, the PvP endgame of Destiny 2, start today. However, this shift has nothing to do with the well-deserved paid leave of the 14th Guardian or the tight schedule of Valus Forge, but with a problem that Bungie had to fix first.
What are the Trials or “Trials of Osiris” in Destiny 2?
The Trials of Osiris are an endgame PvP activity and take place every weekend. There is only one exception, which is when the Iron Banner event is active, just like last week. Bungie will again open the inventory of the 14th Guardian this weekend with fresh Trials passes and loot trains so you can increase your glory in the PvP endgame.
These Trials changes await you in Season 20:
There is no more freelance mode because Bungie has permanently activated player searches based on the fireteam in the Trials.
Additionally, there are new weapons to earn in Season 20:
The “Immortal” – a brand-new legendary strand submachine gun with a 750 rate of fire
“Astral Horizon” – a returning kinetic shotgun with an aggressive frame that also returns with some new perks
The reward system from the Trials of Osiris has also been slightly changed so that it works just like the other vendors in the Tower.
Trials Engrams from previous seasons cannot be utilized in this new system and must be decrypted at Master Rahool.
The PvP map “Javelin-4”
Which map is up this week? Unlike in normal PvP, where the maps rotate, in the Guardian-vs-Guardian endgame, there is only one fixed map to play each weekend.
This week you will play on the map: Javelin-4
If you’re interested in playing the Trials in a fixed team, MeinMMO recommends the Callout Maps via Warmind. This way, you can describe to your fireteam where the enemies are located on the map, which is useful information for the entire team.
Here’s how to get your loot: The Trials of Osiris feature a reputation rank system. Your top loot reward from PvP matches is currently available for:
Seven wins
50 rounds
as well as the infamous flawless run, which leads you to the lighthouse
This is the reward for a flawless run: Each week, you can also expect a very special weapon at the lighthouse, which you receive for your flawless run, meaning 7 wins, in its master version. You can earn the weapon until next Tuesday, March 21 at 6 PM.
“The Immortal” – Trials submachine gun
As a reward, you can always expect an adept weapon when you’ve made it safely to the lighthouse.
This week’s adept weapon is: “The Immortal” – 750 Trials submachine gun
All trials weapons have a Trials origin perk: “Fleetfoot” – Improves reload speed, stability, aim assist, and range when you are the last living member of your fireteam or fighting alone.
You can focus your Trials Engrams at the 14th Guardian on your desired weapon. On top of that, there are enhancement prisms and ascendant shards. Remember that your rewards further increase once you have a full pass – even if you lost one or two games.
When do the Trials officially start? The Trials of Osiris start today, on March 17, 2023, at 6:00 PM and end with the weekly reset on March 21, 2023, at 6:00 PM.

The Hamburger Maximilian “Trymacs” Stemmler (28) is one of the most successful streamers on German Twitch. Currently, he is even number 1 worldwide – and he owes it to a crazy challenge.
What kind of challenge is it? Trymacs regularly entertains his viewers with big events: From boxing matches to a soccer tournament to his own survival show.
Now the 28-year-old has come up with something particularly nasty: Together with 7 other streamers, he has been doing nothing but eating since March 11 for a week. The participants are live around the clock.
Here at MeinMMO, our expertise lies in games and everything around them, not in the medical field. Food deprivation can lead to health impairments such as circulatory problems, headaches, muscle cramps, and temporary visual disturbances (via inFranken). If you want to fast, please inform yourself thoroughly and consult with a doctor if necessary.
In addition to avoiding food, the streamers face numerous challenges and are tormented by guests with delicious-smelling dishes. It’s called the “No Food Challenge” and is currently happening on the Twitch channel of Trymacs.
The challenge is not without risks: Already 3 participants have dropped out due to health concerns (as of March 17, 2:15 PM).
What has Trymacs achieved now? The Hamburger is currently the most-watched Twitch streamer worldwide. In terms of watch time, he surpasses English and Spanish-speaking streamers with 3,407,049 hours watched in 7 days (via sullygnome).
Why is the challenge so successful? There’s a simple reason for that: When channels are ranked by watch time, those who are on air a lot have the advantage. Thus, a streamer like Marcel “MontanaBlack” Eris, who has many viewers, only lands in 7th place by total watch hours, as he streams significantly less than the competition (via sullygnome).
However, other factors also contribute to the success of the “No Food Challenge”:
Star Power: Trymacs has invited various guests to his “No Food Challenge.” Particularly MontanaBlack seems to have found joy in tormenting the participants and checks in almost every day (via YouTube). And Monte apparently brings his own viewers with him, who enjoy seeing him outside his streaming basement.
Diversity: The challenge itself is variably designed through the guests and different mini-games. Additionally, the event itself provides a break from the usual routine on Twitch: MontanaBlack explained that this is not just another soccer event, but unique and creative (via YouTube).
Schadenfreude: This is, of course, also not lacking. Content creators often seem to have a pretty pleasant life, which might be why many enjoy seeing them suffer for once. One viewer wrote on YouTube that watching the event while eating himself is particularly satisfying (via YouTube).
Currently, there are still 5 streamers in the running, whose efforts are now clearly visible. They report difficulties concentrating and fatigue. It remains to be seen who will hold out until the end.
The “No Food Challenge” is not the only thing currently driving high numbers on Twitch. German streamers are also currently performing very well among the ladies. The 23-year-old HoneyPuu fell victim to the Minecraft fever at the beginning of the year and became the most-watched female streamer worldwide:
Razer has released a new mouse pad. In their shop, they warn that you should not start fires or hit other people with it.
What does Razer warn against? Razer has launched a new mouse pad called Razer Atlas. The special feature of the mouse pad is its composition, as it is made of 5 mm thick glass.
On the shop page of the mouse pad, the manufacturer added three curious warnings:
The first warning shows a person holding the mouse pad horizontally in the sun. The sun rays hit the glass surface of the pad and ignite a fire underneath – similar to using a magnifying glass.
In the second warning, the person holds the mouse pad vertically in front of their face and looks towards the sun. It shows that the mouse pad does not provide sun protection, as it is made of glass. Such use could injure your eyes and skin. In light of the first warning, it even warns of possible burns.
The third warning is arguably the clearest. Do not hit other people with it, especially not on the head. After all, the mouse pad is made of millimeter-thick glass.
Of course, it is possible that the warnings are not meant entirely seriously. The company might also want to protect itself from actually unimaginable lawsuits in the USA.
What kind of mouse pad is this? The Razer Atlas is Razer’s first glass mouse pad. It is 5 mm thick, 450 mm long, and 400 mm wide – so it has an average size. The price is a hefty 120 euros.
Since it is made of glass, it has less resistance than fabric or even plastic mouse pads. Glass mouse pads generally allow for very fast gameplay and enable very quick flicks.
There are shooter players who swear by glass mouse pads due to the low resistance. This includes Marko Jevtic, who is enthusiastic about a Razer competitor, the Skypad:
Atlas Fallen is an action RPG from the German developer studio Deck 13, where you fight mystical creatures using sand.
What kind of game is it? Atlas Fallen (PC/Console) is an action RPG from the German developer studio Deck 13. The game focuses on cooperative gameplay and was showcased at the Opening Night Live of gamescom 2022.
Even then, we saw in the reveal trailer a man and a woman fighting against mystical-looking creatures – first against two rather small ones, then against a giant boss.
In addition, the reveal trailer of Atlas Fallen showed us impressive graphics as well as the unique feature of the game: controlling sand. The two fighters created their weapons from the desert sand at their feet and plunged into battle with superhuman abilities.
What do we know about the release? Atlas Fallen is set to be released on May 16, 2023. The action RPG will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, for example via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
What is this trailer about? On March 15, a new trailer for Atlas Fallen was released on YouTube. In the nearly 1.5 minutes, we see various snippets from the action RPG’s game world.
We also see the movement and speed of the game’s movement. It seems that you can glide on the sand of the desert landscape – as if your shoes were a snowboard or skis, with which you speed over the dunes.
Furthermore, we see very vertical movement. It looks as though the character is standing in the air while executing their attacks.
For the attacks themselves, the character shown in the trailer utilizes the ability of sand control. For example, they form a huge battle axe out of sand (minute 00:59).
You can watch the new gameplay trailer for Atlas Fallen here:
What are the reactions like? On YouTube, there are some comments under the trailer that positively evaluate Atlas Fallen and the new trailer. However, some comments would have wished for more actual gameplay due to the designation “Gameplay Reveal Trailer”.
Tobi k: “From a gameplay trailer, I expected more than 15 seconds or 20% actual gameplay.
Caprise – Music: “I only know that I see more than enough to know that I want to play this game. Beautiful game. In-game graphics throughout the trailer.”
Brandon Cooper: “Looks like what Forspoken could have been if Square Enix had cared enough to delay it. I love the cool combat, the movement method, and the impressive landscapes/environments. I want to see more gameplay […].”
Elden Lean: “Looks pretty good, lively and beautiful, I also like the environments. Maybe I won’t buy it on the first day, but I’m looking forward to it.”
Woran BG: “[…] It’s one of the games I’m looking forward to the most. […] I’m sure this game will be good.”
The conclusion of the YouTube comments is accordingly that Atlas Fallen looks good enough to spark curiosity, but shows too little to generate real hype. A detailed gameplay trailer will inevitably influence player expectations one way or another.
Recently, another German developer studio named Blankhans put its upcoming survival MMO “Coreborn: Nations of the Ultracore” into alpha testing. Here’s how the first impressions from the MeinMMO editorial team look:
Trading card games gained immense popularity during the coronavirus pandemic. Cards from Pokémon and Magic: The Gathering reached record prices. However, the market does not seem to have cooled down yet, as the famous ‘Black Lotus’ went under the auction hammer – and was able to increase its value further.
Which card is it? It is the card ‘Black Lotus’ with a signature from the illustrator Christopher Rush on the protective sleeve.
Almost identical card last sold at the beginning of 2021 – at that time, it went for about 510,000 US Dollars on eBay. In the latest auction, this value could be topped. Through the digital auction house PWCC, the card changed hands for 540,000 US Dollars. That is almost 510,000 Euros.
This almost identical card ‘Black Lotus’ was sold for 510,000 Dollars in 2021.
However, this special lotus card is something really special. Similar to the 510,000-Dollar card from 2021, the new 540,000-lotus has a signature from the illustrator of the card on the front.
But it goes even further.
The card received the quality seal ‘PSA 10’ from the Professional Sports Authenticators. This is the highest grade for a trading card. It is essentially a perfect card. According to the US site polygon.com, there are only six ‘PSA 10’ cards of the Black Lotus (via polygon.com).
The original card’s print run was already small, and it only appeared in 3 sets: Alpha, Beta, and Unlimited. The cards from the Alpha set are considered the most expensive – the priciest Lotus also comes from Alpha.
The card’s gameplay strength also plays a role. The Black Lotus allows for a tactic to eliminate the opponent in the first round (via cardmarket.com). The lotus costs no mana, but provides 3 universal mana when sacrificed.
In practice, a real Black Lotus is rarely used. It is banned in almost every official tournament format because it is simply too powerful. It is truly a collector’s card in the truest sense.
The most expensive Magic cards already fetch respectable prices. However, other trading card games, such as Pokémon cards, sometimes command millions.
Magic: The Gathering likely wants to achieve similar prices for its cards. A potential attempt could be the new crossover cards with ‘The Lord of the Rings.’
At the Community Day in March 2023, there is a special feature in the evolution of Galar-Slowpoke into Galar-Slowbro. We will show you what detail you need to pay attention to in Pokémon GO.
Slowpoke and Galar-Slowpoke are the focus at the Community Day in March 2023 in Pokémon GO. The event is accompanied by various bonuses that affect your gameplay. These include triple capture XP, the Surf move, and double candies.
As a special feature for easier Pokémon evolution, Niantic has decided to change the evolution requirements for a short period. We will show you here in the overview what you need to pay attention to.
Slowpoke evolution at the C-Day with a special feature
What to expect: During the Community Day in March, Slowpoke and Galar-Slowpoke will spawn significantly more often. If you evolve them during the event or up to five hours afterward, Slowbro, Galar-Slowbro, Lickilicky or Galar-Lickilicky will learn the charge move Surf.
If you want to evolve Galar-Slowpoke into Galar-Slowbro, there is one change. Normally, you need to use your Galar-Slowpoke as a buddy and then catch 30 Poison-type Pokémon. Due to the change, you need to catch 30 Psychic-type Pokémon with Galar-Slowpoke as your buddy. This is considerably easier during the event, as you will find Psychic-type Pokémon in the wild everywhere.
How long is the change active? The requirement to catch Psychic instead of Poison-type Pokémon counts from the beginning of the Community Day at 2:00 PM and is active until 10:00 PM. After that, you must, as usual, catch Poison-type Pokémon for the evolutions.
With this temporary change during the event, it should be significantly easier for you to carry out many evolutions. This way, you can meet the requirements for the evolutions while simply playing the event.
What do you think of the change? Please share your opinion in the comments here on MeinMMO and discuss it with other trainers.
Today marks the start of the beta for Diablo 4. MeinMMO is live covering the launch, but our colleagues are also present – including Maurice Weber from GameStar. You can watch Germany’s most well-known Diablo journalist on Twitch as he slaughters through the enemies. We spoke with him.
Who is the journalist? Our colleague Maurice Weber started as an editor at GameStar and is now a Twitch streamer with his own channel. Over the years at GameStar, he has made a name for himself among strategy enthusiasts.
Maurice is known for his easy-going style and his love for Diablo. He is considered by many in Germany to be one of the greatest experts on the Diablo series, especially regarding his favorite class: the Necromancer.
Together with 3 other players, Maurice will stream live today at the start of the Diablo 4 beta at 4 PM, with the gameplay starting at 5 PM. You can watch Maurice on our joint channel MonstersAndExplosions on Twitch or on his own channel:

Maurice streams his favorite class from a café in Tokyo
How Maurice plays the beta: In a brief conversation with Maurice, he revealed what he expects from the beta and how he plans to approach the game. There are a few tips on how to best slice through the enemies:
I am a lazy sack and would therefore play Necromancer and let my minions do all the work… but Blizzard, unfortunately, denies me that. That’s why I fell back to the next best thing in the press beta: Lightning Sorceress with as many Static Charges as possible!
Zap away all enemies in the vicinity without having to do much myself, that was exactly to my taste! The best builds are, after all, those where so much is happening on screen that the enemy doesn’t even know what hit him. At the start of the beta, I am also very excited about the Hunter – I couldn’t play her myself in the short press beta.
The best role-playing class of all time has always been the Diablo Necromancer. And as everyone knows, it is thanks to me alone that he returns in Diablo 4! I was the one who told the chief developer of the game face-to-face at the reveal at BlizzCon that he must not bring back the Necromancer with a shabby DLC like in part 3!
And how does Blizzard thank me for my selfless advice? They are bringing the Necromancer in the second weekend… when I am on vacation. On the other side of the world. In Tokyo. BUT that won’t stop me! The wonderful people from the Japan Tourism Office have actually organized me a streaming spot in a Japanese e-sports café! I WILL stream the Necromancer! No matter what it costs!

You can also listen to the experts JessiRocks, podcast head Michael Graf from GameStar, and MeinMMO chief editor Leya Jankowski provide their conclusion on the first weekend on Twitch right after the beta.
If you want to keep following the start of the beta, you can find everything about it in our live ticker on MeinMMO:
In Destiny 2 a new and rather bizarre “tentacle cannon” is currently gaining attention as the best legendary rapid-fire weapon in its class. Two streamers have tested it extensively and found that it is fun and also brings surprisingly strong characteristics. MeinMMO introduces it to you in more detail and advises which rolls you should craft now.
Which weapon is currently exciting players in Destiny 2? Initially, it was just the unusual tentacle-look of the bizarre pistol “Mykels Ehrfurcht,” which, like all the raid gear, caused astonished glances. One would not have thought that it could even keep up with the other primary weapon options and therefore assigned it hardly any priority.
However, after the first weapon tests in PvE and PvP, it became clear that this pistol is not only visually special. The new legendary weapon already made the eyes of two well-known Destiny 2 content creators shine brightly, and particularly True Vanguard raved.
True Vanguard judges in his video that the 450-string gun is currently “the best rapid-fire housing pistol that Destiny 2 has ever had.”
ZK Mushroom, an experienced PvP player, also did not expect how much fun he would have with this pistol in the Crucible. Even if its original property is hardly beneficial there.
Good enough reason to recommend this gun to you and showcase its advantages. All you need for the perfect PvP and PvE version of this gun is its blueprint, as it is craftable.

Destiny 2: Lightfall – Trailer for new weapons and equipment
Once unpopular, now best-in-slot: It wasn’t long ago that pistols in Destiny 2 were not popular among players at all. However, this has changed more and more, and in Season 19, some pistols suddenly became very sought after.
The reasons for this are clear:
The small but fine killers often have a forgiving recoil pattern and deliver solid damage output.
With the introduction of the toggleable full-auto through the Destiny 2 settings, pistols were also boosted.
Additionally, Bungie granted some pistols strong perks in the Witch Queen year, such as “Volt Shot” on “Law of the Thief” or “Desperado” on “Watch of the Threshold.”
“Mykels Ehrfurcht” has also benefited from this. And from the fact that under its “hood” lies an old gem – the Seventh Seraph SI-2 from Season 10.
Mykels Ehrfurcht is the best rapid-fire pistol in Season 20
Bungie hides an old classic from Season 10 under the “hood”
What makes the weapon so special? “Mykels Ehrfurcht” has unique advantages as a string pistol in the kinetic slot that perfectly fit the new subclass from Lightfall. The perk “Slippery” strengthens the strand-weaver Warlock. But the other two classes, Titan and Hunter, can also benefit from it.
Weapon type: Craftable pistol with a 450 firing rate Element: Strand (kinetic slot) Frame: Rapid-fire housing, thus fully automatic Original property: Equipping multiple weapons from this set grants this weapon increased reload speed and improved handling. Additionally, it deals increased damage against tormentors, radiant hordes, and guardians using their supers.
True Vanguard also highlights the high base stability of this pistol, which no other weapon can offer you. Both “Fiorituria-59” and “Feierabend” and “Law of the Thief” have only a base stability of 63. “Mykels Ehrfurcht” has 67.
The stat values of the weapon are almost always best in class
In addition, there are more best-in-class values of the weapon:
“Mykels Ehrfurcht” has the best aim assist value of her class with 61.
The recoil direction of 96 is also top in its archetype.
The only rapid-fire weapon that ever had better recoil was the pistol “Dead Man Walking” from the Black Armory DLC.
Even in terms of reload speed with 47, it is far ahead of other pistols.
How good that is, True Vanguard shows in his video:

For True Vanguard, “Mykels Ehrfurcht” is simply simply the best
With these characteristics and perks, you can get the most out of it. Ideally crafted with the improved perks through the enclave on Mars, which grant you further benefits.
“Mykels Ehrfurcht”-Godroll for PvE:
Barrel: Hammerforged Rifling
Magazine: Extended Mag or Alloy Magazine
Perk Advantage 1:“Rampage”
Perk Advantage 2:“Frenzy” or “Slippery,” if you are playing a strand build
Optional: If you prefer, also “Elemental Capacitor” or “Rampage”
Masterwork: Reload Speed
“Mykels Ehrfurcht”-Godroll for PvP:
Barrel: Hammerforged Rifling
Magazine: Ricochet Rounds
Perk Advantage 1:“Subsistence”
Perk Advantage 2:“Frenzy,” “Tap the Trigger” or “Slippery,” if you are playing a strand build
So you get the blueprint for the weapon: First of all, you need to earn the weapon once in the new raid “Root of Nightmares”. It drops for you both in the second encounter “Splitting” and in the third encounter “Macrocosmos.
Once the weapon has been first unlocked in your collection, it can also drop from the two hidden chests in the raid “Root of Nightmares.” Additionally, you have the option to interact with the Scythe of the final boss Nezarek at the end of the raid and focus the weapon through the conquest loot, which you also obtain from runs out of the raids.
If you have received 5 Depth weapon versions with a red frame, you can shape it according to your ideas in the Enclave on Mars. To speed up that, the raid offers a guaranteed Depth weapon once a week.
While most pistols in Destiny 2 are often ridiculed, “Mykels Ehrfurcht” comes around and gets the job done. This is fun in PvE already, but even more so in PvP, as you always have maximum stability for the duration of every fight.
Is this pistol also a real insider tip for you or overrated? What do you prefer in pistols? Let our readers know in the comments.
Today marks the start of the early access beta for Diablo 4. Only pre-order customers are allowed to participate – or anyone who has a key. Luckily, our colleagues from GameStar still have keys left.
A subscription to GameStar Plus starts at €4.99 per month and saves you quite a bit of money compared to the pre-order. Keys are available as long as supplies last, and the supply is not yet exhausted. You can secure a key until 6:00 PM.
However, you should hurry if you want to play, because you also need to download the game and Diablo 4 can be quite large. You can also find information on how to redeem the keys at GameStar.
How long does the beta run? If you participate in the pre-order beta, you can play from March 17 at 5:00 PM to March 20 at 8:00 PM German time.
If you prefer to wait for the first opinions or do not want to pay, you can play the open beta from March 24 to 27, which is open to all interested parties. You can find all the information about the beta of Diablo 4 here.
We are covering the start of the beta in our live ticker. We have summarized the information about the beta of Diablo 4 in the video for you:

Everything you need to know about the Open Beta in Diablo 4
What is included in the beta of Diablo 4?
In the pre-order beta, you can play as the Hunter, the Sorceress, or the Barbarian. The level is limited to level 25, and you can fully explore the prologue and Act 1. A world boss will appear at specific times.
If you are more interested in the Druid or the Necromancer, you can test these during the open beta weekend. The two classes will be available then.
By the way, Diablo 4 already emphasizes multiplayer and a shared world in the beta, where you can meet other players. The topic is extremely controversial, but I say the feature is a blessing for Diablo 4:
