League of Overwatch 2 starts soon: Blizzard still hasn’t found any sponsors after sexism scandal

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

The major sexism scandal at Activision Blizzard had serious consequences for the studio in California in 2022. In May, the fifth season of Overwatch is set to start, and the e-sports league was supposed to make a strong comeback in 2022 with Overwatch 2 and without Corona. However, Blizzard apparently has major problems finding sponsors: None of the old sponsors want to renew their contracts, and negotiations with new ones are still ongoing.

This is the situation:

  • In the summer of 2021, a sexism scandal at Blizzard came to light. Women in the studio were reportedly treated poorly for years. Men had sexually harassed women; they were paid less and promoted less than men. Moreover, women were doing the work while some men used their time in the office to drink and sleep off their hangovers.
  • The sexism scandal had wide repercussions at Activision Blizzard. They fired the president of Blizzard, hired a new female leader, who then also left. Employees protested, demanding the head of the CEO of Activision Blizzard – who ultimately sold the company to Microsoft.
  • With some delays, Blizzard is now noticing another consequence of the scandal: The Overwatch League has not found any sponsors. The old ones are gone, and negotiations with new ones are still ongoing. The league was supposed to really kick off in 2022.

New season of Overwatch is important for Blizzard

Why is the season in Overwatch so important? Season 5 of the Overwatch League is set to start in May 2022. There are several reasons why the season is important:

  • It is the first live season in North America since 2020. Actually, Overwatch is a “live game”. The teams belong to specific cities. The matches are supposed to be held live as a spectacle – Corona made this impossible for 2 years.
  • On the other hand, it is supposed to be the first season where Overwatch 2 is played, the new sequel of the game. Initial beta tests are ongoing.
  • The Overwatch League is a huge investment for the participating teams. After all, the teams had to buy into the league for several million US dollars. After the Corona years, it is important for the league to become a commercial success now. First, the hype around Fortnite was a problem, then Corona; now the league should really take off.

Was for years the head of Overwatch: Jeff Kaplan. He is gone.

This is the problem: As reported by the Washington Post, Blizzard has not found any sponsors yet two months before the start of the season. Big names like Coca-Cola, Kellogg’s, and State Farm have paused their advertising deals with the Overwatch League following the sexism scandal in the summer of 2021.

None of these sponsors plan to advertise with the league again, according to the companies’ responses to the Post’s inquiry. Comcast, the internet service provider of last season, has no plans to work with Blizzard either.

None of the companies explicitly state that it is due to the sexism scandal, but this assumption is compelling. So far, Blizzard has not listed any sponsors for the Overwatch League 2022.

Blizzard says: Overwatch League should now usher in a “new era”

This is what Blizzard says: In response to the Post’s inquiry, Blizzard states that they are “still in talks with potential partners,” not only with old sponsors but also with new ones.

According to the head of Overwatch 2, players are already practicing with an early version of the sequel. They are receiving a lot of feedback. Everything is going better than ever before.

Season 5 is supposed to be the season with which the Overwatch League transitions into a “new era”.

Overwatch League plagued by many problems

This is what’s behind it: If you believe the director of Overwatch 2, the signs at Blizzard are all pointing towards a new beginning. However, the news coming from Blizzard does not align with this:

  • With Jeff Kaplan, “The head” of Overwatch 2 has left.
  • For Overwatch 2, the development of the well-running part 1 was shelved for years.
  • Professionals are already complaining about Overwatch 2 because of the reduction from 6 players to 5 players per team, making “off-tanks” unemployed.
  • The long-time casters of the game are complaining that they have heard nothing from the league and are left in the dark.

But according to Blizzard, everything is apparently going super well.

Player commits terrible sin in Elden Ring – Fans complain: “You monster”

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 3 minutes

In Elden Ring features many spooky characters that can be attacked without hesitation. However, a player describes how he sent a friendly, almost holy NPC to the afterlife. Even he himself did not find it good.

Before you continue reading: a slight spoiler warning. This text mentions an NPC, the location where he can be found, and some dialogue lines – but nothing about the main plot. If you want to uncover such details completely by yourself, you should not continue reading here for now.

This NPC is about: The character is a huge, friendly turtle named “Miriel, Pastor of Vows”. Miriel can be found in the “Church of Vows” and is lovingly referred to by the community as “Turtle Pope” – because of the distinctive hat the turtle wears.

When you encounter Miriel, you meet a friendly figure who primarily lies around because the old legs can no longer keep up. Accordingly, Miriel is pleased that someone finally comes by. Then the turtle pastor finally has someone to talk to and can share his extensive knowledge.

Miriel Pastor of Vows
You can find Miriel in the “Church of Vows”

Here you can learn a lot of background about various important personalities from Elden Ring and learn more sorcery. The cozy turtle wants absolutely nothing bad for you.

Of course, there are still players who wanted to see what happens if you attack the honored reptile.

Player regrets the attack: “Don’t do it”

The player reports: Currently, a post by user “VG_Crimson” is attracting a lot of attention on the Elden Ring subreddit. The title: “I killed Turtle Pope so you don’t have to”. As of the current status (March 21, 12:00 PM), the post has over 33,000 upvotes and more than 1,000 comments (via reddit).

In the post, VG_Crimson describes how he attacked and defeated Miriel. Due to the decent health bar, this is a rather lengthy matter – and Miriel even comments on the whole thing.

“His skin is like stone, he cannot be injured or killed,” says the turtle after some attacks. Shortly afterwards, Miriel notes that one seems pretty determined to kill him – but he does not hold it against anyone.

The final blow causes Miriel to disappear – and a heartbreaking scream: “It is a sad scream, much higher than one would expect for his size,” says VG_Crimson, who wishes he hadn’t done it: “It was NG+ and I was morbidly curious. Do I regret it? Yes. Would I do it again? Never. I did it so you don’t have to.”

What it can look like is also shown in a video on the “Prizzaa Gaming Channel” on YouTube:

This is how it comes across to the community: The “Turtle Pope” apparently has a lot of fans in the Elden Ring community, as they are not happy about the death of the turtle.

  • “I will pray for you, but I doubt you will escape hell,” writes user “Torva messorem88” (via reddit).
  • “We know that the Turtle Pope goes to heaven. OP, however, has a ticket for another place,” writes user “Southern-Ad7052” (via reddit).
  • “You monster!!!” sums up user “WereFowl” briefly (via reddit).

A user writes that he feels like a tarnished just from reading the story – and they are not particularly popular in the Lands Between.

At the same time, some also write that at least Miriel “VG_Crimson” would probably forgive. So he has nothing to fear.

More about Elden Ring on MeinMMO:

In the world of Elden Ring, there are many secrets, puzzles, and little stories to discover. The “Turtle Pope” is just as much a part of it as a strange secret passage that a player recently uncovered.

The special thing: He had to hammer on a wall 50 times before the path opened up.

DrDisrespect will build AAA studio – makes the dumbest beginner mistake for an NFT game

Sayumi (Lena) Sayumi (Lena) Reading time 2 minutes

Herschel “DrDisrespect” Beahm IV founded his own AAA studio called Midnight Society in December 2021. It was supposed to be a competitor to CoD Warzone and Apex Legends, but it is currently only regarded as a brazen thief, as the studio allegedly stole from a “Cyberpunk 2077” trailer. MeinMMO reports on what is going on.

Why is Midnight Society considered a thief? DrDisrespect’s own game studio is currently considered a thief because they displayed a well-known image as a background on their website.

The image on the homepage was taken from a 9-year-old trailer for the open-world action game Cyberpunk 2077, as the Twitter user inhuman showed:

However, the theft turned out to be a simple mistake. The developers stated in the tweet that it had nothing to do with Cyberpunk at all. One of the web developers had uploaded an optimization that was supposed to change the background image in the video on the page. By mistake, the image from Cyberpunk 2077 was uploaded – so the wrong image.

Difficult start for the AAA studio Midnight Society

Already beforehand, the studio had to take criticism because DrDisrespect uses NFTs to further develop his planned game.

How do NFTs work in DrDisrespect’s game? His fans can become “founders” by setting up a wallet on the homepage. They then receive a profile picture, a “Day Zero” patch for the future game, and NFTs. If the founders wish, they can further support the project by buying additional NFTs.

However, the game itself is supposed to be neither about NFTs nor about investing in them. Nevertheless, many of Doc’s fans are not thrilled and claim to have discovered his “true intentions”.

This is what users say under the tweet from inhuman:

  • SamuraiKillR also comments: “An image stolen on an NFT website? Wow, who can believe it?”
  • Trash says: “Uff, it already looks bad and it hasn’t even started.”
  • A.E.M. is on the side of the studio: “If you judge a whole studio and its game for using OPTIONAL NFTs, I don’t think your problem lies with NFTs.”

Most Twitter users are not surprised and do not think it was a coincidence. Nevertheless, there are a few quiet voices suggesting that it often happens in the web area to use placeholder images to test functions. So it could be that this was the case here as well.

The mistake has already been corrected and the image has been removed from the website.

Black Desert: First player worldwide reaches level 67 – Must grind for more than two years

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 2 minutes

The MMORPG Black Desert has no maximum level, but the grind increases with each level. The first player has now reached level 67. However, it took him more than 26 months for the final level-up.

What is special about the leveling system? Up to level 62, you level up in Black Desert quite reasonably and also gain access to useful upgrades like new abilities.

However, starting at level 63, the required experience points double, and you only receive small stat adjustments to health and mana as a reward. Therefore, there is only a tiny fraction of players who continue to grind to set a new level record.

Who set the latest record? American player Breeya has managed to become the first player in the world to reach level 67. But the effort required was enormous.

Because Breeya was also the first Western player to reach level 66. Only one player from Taiwan was faster at that time. However, he reached this last milestone on January 12, 2020.

Where does the term MMORPG come from? The history of the genre in 2 minutes

26 months of grind for an extra level – Was everything legal?

How did he manage to level up? The most lucrative method for leveling up is said to be the PvP mode “Red Battlefield”. There, you earn about 0.002 to 0.003% experience per match at level 66.

The special thing about this way of leveling is that it cannot be boosted, but still brings the most experience points at this level.

The legal way would be to actively play tens of thousands of rounds in PvP and send your character to training dummies while sleeping and working. There, the character can then grind XP for gold costs AFK, which, however, brings ridiculously little at level 66.

Black Desert first player level 66
Breeya made the leap to level 66 live on stream and grinded with the help of friends in PvE.

What are players saying on reddit? On reddit, Breeya’s success is heavily debated. Many accuse him of only playing part of the PvP matches himself. Otherwise, he is said to use a bot, simply stand AFK in matches, or share his account with other players.

Because in some matches, he would actively chat, while in others, he just “stands in the woods and hides”.

However, there is no real evidence for these accusations. Some say on reddit that the developers would probably ban such a well-known player if he were obviously cheating.

More about MMORPGs on MeinMMO:

What’s next for the player? It is currently unclear whether Breeya will continue grinding towards level 68 or take a break from the adventure for now. Since the experience points double each time, this achievement may not be reached until 2026.

The only alternative would be to introduce new leveling mechanics. After all, grinding in PvE with active buffs used to be more lucrative than PvP.

A modification could happen with the new expansion. It is set to release in April and will bring 4 new areas:

WoW: Is this fair? Chinese guild gets loot without playing

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The Chinese WoW pro guild “Skyline” gets loot through a trick – and does so without really playing. This puts them at the forefront of the World First race.

If you want to have good loot in World of Warcraft, you have to play hard content and invest time. This is mandatory, at least if you want to participate in the “World First race” at the top. However, a guild from China has exploited a trick that allows them to get loads of loot – while they are actually doing something entirely different.

Chinese Guild Starts World First Race with Best Items

What happened? In the race for the World First kill of the Jailer, the focus of the reporting is on the “usual suspects”. These are mainly well-known guilds such as Echo, Liquid, Pieces, or Method. In recent days, however, the Asian guild “Skyline” has also made headlines. They are currently in 4th place in the World First race (via method.gg).

It was noted: They started with a significantly higher item level than other pro guilds. A difference of 2-4 item levels already makes a huge impact.

How did they achieve the higher item level? Apparently, many players exploited a tactic that allowed them to obtain solid loot from “Mythic+” dungeons without actually participating in the dungeons. For this, each raider needed a (or several) groups of 4 helpers. The raid player would start a dungeon with their helper group and then immediately leave the group. The 4 helpers would then complete the dungeon together. In the meantime, the raid player would find 4 more helpers to repeat the process – many times.

The result is that the raiders can later simply collect their loot from the mailbox while they are actually doing other things – like raiding. This saves time and allows for a steady influx of loot, even when they are doing entirely different activities.

Raiders Exploit Mechanic That is Meant to Mitigate Unfair Behavior

Why does this mechanic even exist? The mechanic was actually created as a sort of protection against mean group leaders. In the past, it happened that some group leaders would kick a fellow player out of the group during or before the last boss – usually after some conflicts that occasionally arise in high-level mythic dungeons.

That is why Blizzard changed the system some time ago so that kicking a player (or leaving the group) still results in the player receiving loot at the end if the group completes the dungeon.

More news about World of Warcraft can be found here:

Is this whole thing even allowed? That is probably difficult to say. Strictly speaking, there is no rule against this tactic, and it is in fact game mechanic that a player who leaves the dungeon still gets to participate in the loot if the group completes the dungeon. However, it is unlikely that Blizzard intended this approach. There hasn’t been any punishment for it so far – and whether there will be a rule change in the terms of service is also still questionable.

Especially since this isn’t too far from the so-called “split raids”, where one player is gifted equipment while the other players are compensated with gold.

What do you think of this method to get good loot? A legitimate tactic? Or does it equate to cheating and should be penalized?

LoL shows innocent players that they are permanently banned – This is what Riot Games says

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

Over the weekend, from March 18th to March 20th, a lot of players received a message when logging into the popular MOBA League of Legends that their account had been permanently banned. The ban caused slight panic in front of the home PC. Riot Games has now commented on the “mass bans” and somehow seems at a loss.

This is the discussion:

  • On Friday, one of the most important E-sports journalists for LoL, Jacob Wolf, reported: His account was permanently banned. He is very careful to be the best and friendliest player he can possibly be. After all, his job depends on the game. He can’t explain it at all (via twitter).
  • In the comments, it became clear that many other players feel the same way: Their accounts have also been banned without them having done anything wrong.
  • The support from Riot Games was flooded with inquiries about the bans. At first, they brusquely dismissed the questions, but then the tone changed.

This is what Riot Games says: The situation is a bit complicated.

The support from Riot Games received tweets from angry users in various languages who contacted Riot saying their account in LoL had been permanently banned over the entire weekend.

Initially, Riot Games consistently stated: They could not comment on the bans. They would not discuss any bans in support. That was not their issue.

Initially, there was just a rejection from support.

Messages about the permanent ban were apparently a “system error” at Riot

However, in the night from Sunday to Monday, the developers’ response changed: According to Riot Games, a message was “erroneously” published stating that the account of players was permanently banned. However, this was just a “glitch”.

Hello! Thank you for contacting us. I understand that it must be very confusing that you suddenly see the ban message for your account. It could just be an optical issue. Try logging in again, and if you’re still banned, please submit a ticket.

Additionally, it is stated: One of Riot’s systems apparently displayed this message due to an error at Riot.

What can you do about the permanent ban in LoL? On reddit, there is now talk of a “ban glitch” – a visual error without real consequences.

A YouTuber has also dealt with the topic. The YouTuber Exil says:

  • Those who have been banned should just keep logging in until it works
  • Those who continue to have problems should check their account to see if there really is a ban against them (via support-lol)

Epic changes Fortnite radically with Season 2, removes building – Here’s how players react

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 3 minutes

Fortnite starts Season 2 of Chapter 3 with a bang. Because the notorious building has been disabled here. This completely changes the gameplay and many fans even celebrate the new feature. However, there is also criticism of the matter. Learn all about the current mood in Fortnite here on MeinMMO.

What happened in Season 2? In Season 2 of Chapter 3, the developers at Epic turned Fortnite upside down. While past updates expanded the game with numerous features, this season removes something essential from the game.

Building, which has always been the hallmark of Fortnite, has been disabled. It is even woven into the current story, in which the sinister organization IO takes building away from players during an invasion.

Anyway, you can no longer build and create cover. Instead, you are now more mobile and have more shields. Heavily armed tanks are also available now.

This is received differently in the community.

Players Celebrate the Change – “The Game is in the Best State it’s Ever Been”

What are the positive reactions? Many fans appreciate the changes, especially the removal of building. Because some players who actually liked Fortnite could never get accustomed to building.

Because this feature and its mastery separated good players from casuals, and many eventually stopped enjoying competing against so-called “sweats” who exploded into building frenzies at every shot.

We have summarized some responses from reddit here:

  • […] the no-build mode ensures that Fortnite reaches the best condition it has ever been in, for people who don’t like building, that was the main complaint. The game is in the best state it has ever been.
  • I personally like Fortnite, but a no-build mode would make it even better for me.
  • Finally. Building in Fortnite ruins the game for me.
  • This is the most aggressive game I have ever seen – it is very forward-looking and so much is pushed. I hope “No Building” stays as a side mode when “Building” returns.
  • Yes, this is great, and this comes from a “sweat”.

Other players on reddit are currently celebrating that many good Fortnite players are actually terrible shooters and without their beloved cover, they lose mercilessly against players who are good at shooters but have never built. By the way, Dr. Disrespect criticized this years ago. Fortnite makes kids, in his opinion, “soft and cowardly”.

What is being criticized? However, not all players are happy with the changes. Building was, after all, the only thing that made Fortnite really special. Typical reactions read as follows:

  • For me, this is crazy. Building is the only thing that makes Fortnite unique. Without building, it’s a kind of boring cartoon shooter. Building is what makes Fortnite, in my opinion, a great game. The necessary skill and the way it [building] extends fights make Fortnite fun and interesting.
  • Tanks make no sense. They remove building to make shooting more balanced, and add tanks that throw the shooting out of balance even more than building ever did.
  • The only interesting thing about this game is building, why do you want it taken away?

But even among the critics, many find it interesting to play Fortnite without building. They would prefer an alternative game mode where it is disabled, and one where they can build to their heart’s content. The current way of playing without building could therefore also be a test phase to see how well this goes down with the community.

Attention! In Pokémon GO, a nasty bug deletes your progress on a quest

Franzi Korittke Franzi Korittke Reading time 4 minutes

A trainer in Pokémon GO recently experienced an unpleasant surprise in the game. Part of his progress towards the “Masterwork Research: Apex” was reset. We at MeinMMO have looked into what happened and show you the community’s reactions.

What kind of task is it about? A large Johto Tour took place in Pokémon GO a few weeks ago. This initially provided ticket holders with a special research task around the mysterious Pokémon Celebi.

Those who solved this task could unlock another special research named “Masterwork Research: Apex”. This includes a total of four task boards, where you can encounter the two Apex versions of Ho-Oh and Lugia.

Unlike many other quests, the research tasks are somewhat more extensive and complicated, which means they also need to be worked on over the long term. However, one reddit user recently encountered an unpleasant surprise with one of these tasks. We show you what happened.

All tasks and rewards for the special research “Masterwork Research: Apex” have been summarized here.

Game resets progress on special research

As trainer therealidckw reports in his reddit post, he is currently working on the special research “Masterwork Research: Apex” and has already reached the second board. One of the tasks on this page requires you to earn a heart with your buddy for 30 consecutive days.

This means that you must play with your buddy, take pictures with him, battle him, or go on adventures together. According to therealidckw, he did all that, but the game suddenly reset his progress from 9 to 0. And this, despite there being daily interactions.

Other trainers affected

Looking at the comments quickly reveals that therealidckw is not an isolated case. Other trainers are also reporting similar experiences (via reddit.com):

  • fiyahflash: “I lost 7 days, but without evidence to present to Niantic, I had to dismiss it as ‘I must have forgotten a day.'”
  • why_gaj: “This has happened to me three times already with this mission.”
  • gladvillain: “Yes, it happened to me too. I think my restart was after about 6 or 7 days. Terrible concept.”
  • YupKick: “Mine was reset at 16 days. Great game.”
  • ScooperDuper89: “I’m at 17 days now and nervous. I’ll take a screenshot as soon as possible.”
  • kingofthedesert: “There are other threads on this topic that receive the same responses: ‘You don’t remember forgetting to play,’ but the same happened to me recently, and I know I absolutely did not forget.”

Trainers’ speculations about the reasons for the reset

But what causes the progress to simply reset? This question has been posed by some trainers after this post. On one hand, they want to help those affected; on the other hand, some are afraid of encountering this problem themselves.

Moreover, there are initial ideas in the community about what might cause the progress to be reset. Several comments can be found under the post (via reddit.com):

  • scrapnmama: “I’m curious what triggered it. Did you all evolve a buddy Pokémon? Are you playing with the same phone type? Did you earn your heart at a specific time of day (time zones are surely a factor)? I have 16 hearts and empathize with all of you, but I also try to avoid what happened to you if possible.”
  • ChikaraNZ: “I remember in the past some people had the same problem. I believe it was speculated that the counter is set to 24 hours since the last heart, not necessarily the game’s reset times. So if you received a heart today at 6 PM but the next one is not until tomorrow at 7 PM, the counter would reset to zero days. To be safe, best to earn one heart in the morning and another in the evening every day.”
  • itsconnorbro: “Maybe you did it yesterday at 9 AM and today at 10 AM? Perhaps that mechanism uses a 24-hour window and not the date.”
  • mornaq: “It will inevitably reset randomly; it happened to me a few days ago too. No idea how they managed to break it and never fix it, but it happens all the time.”

A trainer disproves one of the theories

The theory about time intervals has been personally tested by trainer T-Money1738, who interacted with his buddy at two different times. He found that it worked, and no reset occurred.

He writes in the comments (via reddit.com): “I just earned a heart with my buddy at 12:13 PM. My last one was at 7 AM the day before. So I’m pretty sure it resets at midnight, just like you get a new research task at midnight.”

Thus, a precise cause is currently not to be found. What exactly causes the reset remains speculation for now. However, trainers can only hope that Niantic finds the error quickly and that this problem does not occur in the future.

What trainers demand

The trainers are annoyed by this bug and do not want to let it slide. For this reason, some of them already have a clear idea of how Niantic could solve the problem. The first players suggest a change to the task (via reddit.com):

  • Haroic: “I mean, they could just do a total of 30 days, just not consecutive.”
  • StevensDs-: “Or they could just make a ‘number X’ of hearts. If they want people to invest time and maybe money, then make it 500 hearts or so.”
  • Kailaylia: “Niantic should recognize this is a bug and just change it to 30 days, not necessarily in a row.”

Whether Niantic will address these suggestions and adjust the task accordingly remains to be seen for now. If there is new information on this, you will learn about it from us on MeinMMO.

More about Pokémon GO:

Are you also affected by such a bug in Pokémon GO? What do you think could be the reason the game resets progress despite regular interaction? Let us know in the comments and exchange views with other trainers here on MeinMMO.

In the coming days, a lot will happen in Pokémon GO. We have looked at which new monsters, raid bosses, and events await you this week.

LoL team of HandOfBlood loses the big Spring final – struggles with bad luck and mishaps

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 5 minutes

The grand final of the Spring Split 2022 in the highest German league in League of Legends took place on Sunday. The teams Eintracht Spandau and GamerLegion faced each other. Just a few weeks ago, Eintracht Spandau achieved a 3:0 victory against their competitor. However, in the grand final, GamerLegion turned the tables.

How did Eintracht Spandau’s season go? The entire Spring Split was a rollercoaster for the team led by HandOfBlood and his agency INSTINCT3:

  • To start, the team suffered 4 consecutive defeats. There were discussions because HandOfBlood, as president, declared the aim of competing for a title at the EU Masters in the future. This is the largest European tournament, just behind the LEC.
  • At halftime of the season, the team was in 8th place with 4 wins and 5 losses. However, they needed at least 6th place to at least qualify for the playoffs and have a chance to enter the EU Masters.
  • By the end of the season, Eintracht Spandau really ramped up. They managed to win 8 games in a row. They always relied on the same strategy. In the end, they secured 2nd place and thus a spot in the upper bracket of the playoffs.
  • There, they met GamerLegion, the first placed team in the league, on March 8, against whom they had lost both matches in the regular season. However, the team wiped them off the map almost effortlessly with a 3:0.
  • Through the looser bracket, GamerLegion managed to fight their way to the final and got the rematch against Eintracht Spandau. And this match was already under a bad star before it even started, at least from the perspective of HandOfBlood and his team.

GamerLegion dominated the first match right away

How did the first match go? GamerLegion was able to assemble a combo in the first draft that the analysts considered very dangerous and clearly stronger than the champions from Eintracht Spandau. They all gave the victory to GamerLegion.

And that’s exactly how it went. From the beginning, Eintracht Spandau had no chance. Although the major team fights were absent and at minute 15 the kill count was only 1:1, GamerLegion was able to earn a noticeable gold lead and two dragons through platinums and good farming.

At minute 22, the jungler D4nka won the team fight with a good Hecarim-ult and the supporter Visdom secured the kills on Kynetic and Prime with a Thresh hook and quickly eliminated the opposing bot lane. After that followed an uncoordinated action from the remaining players of Eintracht Spandau.

After a short break, the team fight ended with 5:1 kills for GamerLegion. A Baron followed, as well as the dragon soul and the victory at minute 31.

How did the second match go? Eintracht Spandau had a better start this time and took a lead with 2:1 kills after a team fight in the bot lane. At minute 15, the kill count was 2:2 and 1:1 in dragons, but Spandau was slightly ahead with 2,000 gold.

However, at minute 19, Spandau played too aggressively and walked into a 4v5 team fight. Especially the mid laner ESCIK from GamerLegion performed a good flank with Ahri and secured two important kills. This pattern continued in the following minutes, where Eintracht Spandau kept seeking fights, but GamerLegion turned them around and emerged victorious.

The casters highlighted the problem with the top lane pick from Pride, who was playing Dr Mundo. Although he was tanky, he brought nothing else to the team. This pick should be the reason why some team fights were lost.

Until the end, Eintracht Spandau fought, and despite being down 18:23 in kills and fewer towers, they narrowly led in gold at minute 40. However, they made another wrong decision and secured a Baron while GamerLegion simply demolished the Berliner’s base and destroyed the Nexus before the team was able to return in time.

GamerLegion, Eintracht Spandau and the dance around the Nexus

How did the third match go? The final match of the series offers a real nail-biting finale. Again, Eintracht Spandau dominated the start with two kills and a slight gold lead. But at minute 9, GamerLegion turned the tide.

Sacre divides the team of Spandau with the Rumble ultimate Equalizer and secures three kills and the Herald. In the following moments, GamerLegion won most team fights, but Spandau stayed ahead in gold. Especially Jinjo played an outstanding game on Jhin and had a statistic of 13/4/6 at minute 33, which is excellent for a bot laner.

And then it gets curious. At minute 39, GamerLegion is able to destroy the first inhibitor in the middle of Eintracht Spandau. After that, they keep running against the Nexus towers and an enemy team while being outnumbered. But Eintracht Spandau defends and lands their own jabs. They take the opposing inhibitor in the bot lane in a strong backdoor action from Pride. Later on, Pride continued to secure kills to prevent the assault on their base, as well as even a Nexus tower at minute 43.

GamerLegion takes an eternity to finish the game. It almost reminded of the league match between Gamer Legion and Spandau, where the team of HandOfBlood narrowly missed victory.

It took until minute 47 for Spandau’s suffering to end. However, GamerLegion can celebrate their title win.

Eintracht Spandau struggled with injury and illness issues beforehand

What was going on with Eintracht Spandau? Even before the match, HandOfBlood’s LoL team had some issues:

  • The top laner Pride suffered a muscle strain in his leg a day before the final but was able to participate.
  • The bot laner Kynetic revealed that even the training matches did not go well.
  • For their own live stream of the grand final, influencers Johnny and Kalle Koschinsky dropped out, both had to cancel due to illness.

The players and officials expressed their disappointment on their Twitter channels. Nevertheless, the team celebrated their achievements throughout the season, a strong second place, and especially the reach they were able to build.

Both Pride and HandOfBlood promised that Eintracht would strike back at the upcoming EU Masters.

The final set a new record: For the officials of the Prime League, the final was still a huge success despite GamerLegion’s dominance. At peak, 38,187 people were watching on Twitch, a new record for the channel.

Additionally, 35,271 viewers peaked for the event on Eintracht Spandau’s channel. This was the second-best value. However, the numbers remained consistently over 30,000 for several hours (via Sullygnome).

EU Masters begins in April and both teams are there

What exactly does the outcome of the match mean? GamerLegion is now officially the winner of the Spring Split 2022. They have secured the title and the trophy.

However, both GamerLegion and Eintracht Spandau are directly entering the main event of the EU Masters Spring 2022. Therefore, they do not have to play the first play-in phase. The German team qualified in 3rd place for that, the Unicorns of Love Sexy Edition.

The EU Masters start on April 4th and run until May 7th. A prize pool of 150,000 euros is waiting to be divided among the best teams.

More about LoL on MeinMMO:

Who will the teams face at the EU Masters? Against the best teams from other European leagues. A title favorite is the French team Karmine Corp. They have the well-known AD carry Rekkles, who has played several times for Fnatic at the LoL Worlds.

Another strong team comes from Spain, Fnatic TQ. This is the second team of Fnatic, where talents and substitute players from the main team come into play. They dominated the Spanish league with 16:2 and also won the Upper Bracket in the playoffs against the team Barcelona eSports with 3:1.

In general, the European leagues below the LEC are currently enjoying great popularity. Why this is so, we have broken down here:

What happens if you run out of money in GTA Online?

In businesses like bunkers, cocaine labs, or hemp farms, production will be stopped because you can’t pay for the team and the electricity anymore.

As long as you still have supplies, they will continue to be processed.

More about GTA Online

Missions that are sent to your phone cannot be accepted anymore. Since these cost a few hundred dollars, you’re not eligible for them.

As an advanced player, it usually shouldn’t happen that you go completely broke. After all, GTA Online offers so many ways to make money that you can always earn something. However, beginners or players who buy something expensive like the Kosatka can easily reach the broke status.

Have you ever been really poor in GTA Online? How did you fight your way out of the hole?

There are various ways to earn money in Los Santos even without starting capital. Daily objectives, robbing stores, events in free-roam – all can get you a few thousand GTA dollars in a matter of moments, which you can reinvest. In our big special, we show you 13 ways to quickly earn a lot of money in GTA Online – even without capital.

No cash and no money left in the account in GTA Online? This has consequences for your apartment and your mechanic. See here what happens when you are broke.

What is the problem? In GTA Online, money rules. Those just starting out will notice that everything is quite expensive, and at the beginning, you need to carefully consider how and where to invest your money. However, even advanced players can find themselves with an account and wallet balance of 0 GTA-$ suddenly.

What happens to the daily costs for apartments, the mechanic, and your businesses? We will show you the disadvantages here.

Broke in GTA Online – Who pays for apartment, business?

This is what happens when you are broke: In case you suddenly have no money left in GTA Online, the developers have thought of something. After all, you pay daily (i.e., every 48 minutes in real life) additional costs for your apartment, wages for your mechanic, and costs for maintaining businesses like the cocaine lab, the hemp farm, or the bunker.

Your apartment will have the power turned off. You won’t be sitting in the dark, but you can’t use things like the TV or the radio anymore. Additionally, you can’t shower anymore because the water in your apartment will be shut off.

What are shields in Fortnite and how do they work?

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

Since building in Fortnite has been disabled, there are now overshields in Season 2. We will show you how they work.

Why are there shields? At the start of Season 2 in Chapter 3, Fortnite has disabled building. You currently cannot build huge structures to shield yourself from enemy fire. Instead, you will rely on your shields and health points.

For better defense, the developers have provided you with overshields. We will show you how they work so that you can make the most of them.

All information about the overshields

What’s new: Since you can’t build, you now have enhanced sprints and can climb and dash along various surfaces like in parkour. With the new overshields, you have more time before an opponent can take you down. You can see how the new actions look in the Season 2 story trailer.

This is how it works: The overshield is the first thing an opponent hits you with. Only after the overshield is completely depleted can your regular shield and health points be taken away.

The overshield points regenerate on their own over time. Even if they fall to 0, they will gradually build back up on their own after that.

The overshield has a maximum of 50 points, which recharge outside of combat.

More about Fortnite

How long does the shield last? It is to be expected that the overshield will remain in the game for as long as building is disabled. Data miners have already dug through the code and found out how long building remains disabled in Fortnite.

Presumably, the shield will then be disabled again or will remain in the game for certain modes. How do you like playing with the overshield? Do you feel good about it and feel relatively safe without the building function?

Elden Ring: Expert explains why you should stay at level 125 as a PvP player

Tarek Zehrer Tarek Zehrer Reading time 4 minutes

In FromSoftware games, PvP has often been one of the most enduring features. However, the area is structured differently than in most online games. The Souls expert Oroboro has now explained in a video why level 125 is the ideal level for the PvP meta.

How does PvP work in Elden Ring? There are mainly two types of PvP:

  • Duels: You can place a symbol in the game world through which other players can summon you to their world. There you can then compete against the host.
  • Invasions: You can invade the worlds of other players as intruders. This is often quite chaotic and unpredictable, but has numerous lovers.
  • You can read details about the multiplayer of Elden Ring in our guide.

But no matter which type of PvP you play: Your level and equipment play an important role. Not all players can simply play PvP with all others; there are level limits.

In a new video, YouTuber Oroboro listed 3 reasons why PvP players should not level beyond 125 and that it is the ideal build meta.

Note: The video is about duels, not invasions. Also, the PvE area is completely excluded from this.

Who is Oroboro? Oroboro has been around since the days of Dark Souls 1 and is considered a Souls expert in the community, especially in the PvP area. His YouTube channel has 241,000 subscribers, and his videos usually revolve around exciting and funny PvP experiences. He also shares his opinions on balancing and the meta.

Level 125 for Duels? Oroboro says: “It is perfectly balanced.”

What is meant by PvP meta? You cannot specifically play online with players who are too far above or below your level.

So, for example, if you have an extremely high level, you will automatically meet fewer players online. The online modes of Bloodborne and Dark Souls 1-3 worked according to the same principle. In each game, the community agreed on a certain level to stick to, thus mostly encountering an active online community.

Moreover, the level also significantly affects which builds are possible. Oroboro sees level 125 as ideal: “It is the perfectly balanced level where you can’t have too much of everything, but can still make important decisions when it comes to builds.”

However, quite a bit has changed compared to previous games from FromSoftware. For instance, strength has a much greater influence on health points.

According to Oroboro, there are 3 good reasons not to exceed 125. He has leveled multiple characters and experimented. Here is the summary:

1. At a certain point, damage just becomes too high

What does that mean? According to Oroboro, the overall damage in PvP is currently too high, and it only gets worse with every level increase. At a certain point, players can level everything and increasingly lose disadvantages.

  • Thus, you will find people in the heaviest armor, wielding two huge greatswords, yet moving as fast as players in light armor.
  • The same applies to spells and various other builds. Eventually, everything becomes so powerful that you can eliminate players with just 1-2 hits.
  • Basically, anyone can eventually skill everything if they level high enough.

At level 125, however, you can build a character that fills its respective area very well without becoming too powerful. This also supports build diversity in duels.

von Marko Jevtic

2. Balance becomes too strong

What does that mean? Balance determines in Elden Ring how easily enemy attacks can stagger you.

  • The heavier your armor, the higher your balance, but the higher your carrying load as well.
  • However, if you level high enough, you can eventually offset this disadvantage and wear the heaviest armors.
  • This makes you in PvP like a train that rams everything without being stopped by counterattacks.

At level 125, on the other hand, you can increase your balance but must accept disadvantages in dodging and movement speed.

More about Elden Ring:

3. Level 125 allows the right builds to be created

What does that mean? According to Oroboro, at 125, all disadvantages of too high or too low levels are mostly offset.

While you are still limited in your skill points, you can bring important base attributes like strength or mind to a usable level while still creating certain builds.

This way, you can easily increase strength to level 60, which is the ideal value, and additionally level dexterity and intelligence to create one of the most powerful builds in 1.03.

Based on his conclusions, he has also created some example builds that you can use as a reference. They cover various playstyles:

Here are the corresponding attributes in English
  • Vigor: Vitality affects your health points and influences fire resistance and poison immunity.
  • Mind: Mind affects FP (Mana) and focus-related resistance. Important for magic and sorcery builds.
  • Endurance: Increases your character’s stamina and also raises physical defense. Especially important for melee fighters, as stamina allows dodging and blocking.
  • Strength: Required to wield heavy weapons. It also increases the attack power of strength-scaling weapons.
  • Dexterity: Required to wield advanced weapons. It also increases the attack power of weapons that scale with finesse. Reduces casting time for spells, mitigates fall damage, and makes it harder to fall off a horse.
  • Intelligence: Increases the spell power of intelligence-scaling spells and improves magic resistance. Also increases how often you can use spells.
  • Faith: Required to perform summons. It also enhances summons that scale with faith.
  • Arcane: Affects death resistance and certain spells and summons.

Here’s a little tip: If you do not want to level a new character but still want to exceed 125, you can at least save a backup of your save file on PC.

This way, you can level your character and still have the option to have a save file just for PvP.

How do his viewers react? In the comments, a discussion has erupted due to the YouTuber’s analysis.

  • Some argue that 125 is too low a level because some weapons require more than two primary attributes to be used effectively.
  • It is also criticized that the endurance value in his builds is far too low, especially for mages and users of summons, since spells and summons consume not only FP but also stamina.
  • Others find the assessment very good and want to follow it.

It is certain that the topic is far from over and that other assessments will emerge in the future.

But what do you think of Oroboro’s arguments? Do they resonate with you? Or have you had other experiences?

Fortnite brings back the Drum Shotgun – How powerful is the weapon and where can you find it?

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 2 minutes

In the new Season 2 of Fortnite, new weapons have been added and some familiar weapons have been brought back to life. However, one of them is really something special. The Drum Shotgun is back, and it’s sure to cause chaos.

What kind of shotgun is this? The Drum Shotgun, known in German as “Trommelschrotflinte”, is a shotgun with a very large magazine that has returned in Chapter 3 Season 2.

The pump shotgun was vaulted in Season 10 Chapter 1 and hasn’t made a comeback since – until now. Fortnite has launched the new Season 2 along with it.

All Important Information about the Drum Shotgun

What can the weapon do? The weapon fires from a magazine of 12 rounds and does so fully automatically. Besides its high rate of fire, the weapon can also excel at medium range as well as in close combat. The weapon comes in the rarity grades: common, uncommon, and rare.

Depending on the grade, you will get a weapon with more damage and a higher reload speed.

Where can I find it? You can find the weapon all over the new map of Fortnite. From regular chests, supply drops on the ground, or at vending machines, to NPCs offering this weapon, there are many sources through which you can obtain the shotgun.

More about Fortnite can be found here:

How strong is it? The weapon fires a magazine of 12 rounds fully automatically. These are fired with devastating speed. So if you are in a 1vs1, you just need to hold down the trigger. Your enemy will panic at the sound of the shots.

Appropriately, you can deal damage between 45 and 50 with the shotgun. Depending on the area of the shot, you can deal more damage with precision hits. This gun is great for quickly sending opponents to oblivion.

What do you think about the shotgun? Do you think it’s good that Epic integrates weapons from the past into new seasons more often? Let us know in the comments!

In the story trailer for Season 2 Chapter 3, you can see the new content of the game that awaits you now.

The new “Warden” is the most dangerous monster that Minecraft has ever had

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 4 minutes

With a Warden in Minecraft , you should not mess around. The new mob is tougher than anything the game has offered so far.

Minecraft is currently testing the new Patch 1.19 Deep Dark with a snapshot. Although the powerful Warden is not yet included, we now know many more details about this mighty creature that will soon instill fear in the hearts of cave explorers. We will reveal what makes the Warden so terrifying – and why you should better take to your heels when you encounter him.

Where can you find the Warden? Wardens do not occur in Minecraft naturally at all. They do not simply appear at night or in certain locations. Instead, they must be summoned by new blocks, the “Sculk Shrieker.” Players want to avoid this as much as possible.

How do you summon the Warden? This will most commonly happen in the “Deep Dark” biome, the new biome in Patch 1.19. As the name suggests, it can only be found in the deepest depths. Here, one can find the eerie Sculk blocks and thus also the “Sculk Shrieker.”

Minecraft Sculk Shrieker
The Sculk Shreeers warn – and announce doom.

Sculk Shrieker can emit a creepy, bone-chilling scream. This happens whenever a player directly steps on such a Shrieker or on a block that is connected to the Shrieker by new Sculk vines.

When a Shrieker screams, all players in direct proximity are afflicted with a “Darkness” effect that drastically limits visibility. At the same time, an internal “Alarm Level” increases by 1.

If the Alarm Level rises to 3 with a scream, the next Shrieker summons a fearsome Warden that rises from the ground and begins to patrol.

Minecraft Warden Emerging
The Warden rises from the ground.

Shrieker blocks can be mined to prevent it from screaming again. However, the Alarm Level does not decrease as a result; it only automatically decreases by 1 every 10 minutes.

How does the Warden behave? Essentially, the Warden has one major disadvantage – he is blind. This means he will not immediately rush at you upon making eye contact. Instead, he has quite good hearing. He senses vibrations in the ground and hears various impacts, such as from arrows or other projectiles. The more you move and the more noise you create, the better the Warden can locate the position of different creatures.

If the Warden gets closer but cannot find his target, he can also sniff and thus determine the position more accurately.

Minecraft Warden Sniffing
The Warden when he “sniffs” his victims.

If a creature touches the Warden or he has tracked a player long enough, he will roar loudly and begin to charge at the player. In this state, the Warden has perfect pathfinding, just like other hostile mobs. It is time to flee.

Should you fight the Warden? Basically: No. The Warden is by far the most powerful monster in Minecraft, dealing the most damage. Triggering a Warden is akin to causing a “natural disaster,” and players are encouraged to flee from this creature.

This is quite possible, as the Warden despawns after a while if he does not find creatures in his immediate vicinity. He then “digs” himself into the ground and disappears – until he is summoned again by the Shrieker.

At normal difficulty, a single hit from the Warden inflicts a whopping 30 damage points – that’s 15 hearts. Even with optimal gear, it doesn’t take long for the Warden to dismantle a player. Additionally, he boasts an impressive 500 health points (so 250 hearts) and is thus extremely tough.

Killing the Warden is not lucrative, by the way. He drops only a very small number of experience points – at least according to the current state.

More about Minecraft can be found here:

As of now, Wardens can also be used as a nasty trap. Because the necessary “Sculk Shrieker” can not only be found in the “Deep Dark” biome, but can also be bred at other places in the game world using a “Sculk Catalyst,” ensuring that sooner or later a Warden appears (as long as it is dark enough). However, caution should be exercised here, as such a Warden does not stop after the first player…

Keep in mind with this information that a lot could still change before the release of the Warden.

Are you looking forward to this new monstrous creature? Do you see the Warden as a challenge? Or will you always look for a way out when you trigger the Warden?

The MMORPG Lord of the Rings Online is finally going Free2Play – What else changes?

Tarek Zehrer Tarek Zehrer Reading time 3 minutes

12 years after the extensive changes to the payment model of the MMORPG, The Lord of the Rings Online is now largely free to play. By April, 5 expansions are expected to join the offer of free content. MeinMMO shows you what is changing.

This is the current model: Originally, HDRO was a buy-to-play MMO with a subscription model. You had to purchase it and sign up for a subscription. In November 2010, the developers took the step to make the base game free to play.

New content and expansions could then be earned instead of purchased. However, this could lead to quite a grind. Because you need to collect in-game currency to exchange it for paid content.

Starting in April, there will be extensive changes for the MMO’s 15th anniversary, and a large part of the content will finally be truly free.

HDRO makes many of its major expansions Free2Play with Update 33

This is changing: With Update 33, all content released between the launch of HDRO in 2007 and the expansion Helm’s Deep will be playable for free.

With this update, all quests, regions, instances, and expansions that were released between the original launch of LOTRO in 2007 and the release of Helm’s Deep – and including! – the release of Helm’s Deep will be available for free for everyone. Search, explore, and craft your way to level 95 as you please!

lotro.com

Here’s a quick overview of the “new” free content:

  • The High Elf class
  • Rune-keeper, Warden, and Beorning
  • The Shadows of Angmar (base game)
  • The Mines of Moria
  • The Siege of Mirkwood
  • The Rise of Isengard
  • The Riders of Rohan
  • Helm’s Deep

The package includes content that was released between 2007 and 2013 and is quite massive. This content should keep fans and interested players busy for many hours.

More on MMORPGs:

What else is coming? In addition to the F2P transition of numerous contents, Update 33 will also introduce a new area to the game: Yondershire. This is a swamp area in the north of Middle-earth, which is said to be inhabited by Hobbit hermits and troublemakers.

There you will also experience adventures related to the Hobbits and apparently meet Lotho Sackville-Baggins, who harasses the residents.

On April 13, the fortress Minas Morgul, known from the movies, is set to be introduced to the game. There, the level cap will be 130. Aside from that, there are plans for technical improvements, class balance, and fixing additional bugs and issues.

What do you think of the news? Will you check out HDRO now? Or are you less excited about the new free content?

Several months ago, there was a different kind of controversy among players: A small change in The Lord of the Rings Online leads to a big Pay2Win discussion in the community

Overshields

Fortnite-Überschild
A new feature – The overshield

Building has been disabled in Fortnite by IO. To give you more protection, you receive an overshield over your normal shield and health points. This must be destroyed first before you can kill your opponent. Don’t worry, the overshield regenerates by itself when it reaches 0%.

Upgrades in Movement – Parkour

As you and the Seven confront IO, you also gain new movement options. You can now sprint more aggressively to cling to all edges of buildings like in parkour.

Note that you cannot sprint aggressively forever – a sprint indicator shows you the remaining duration. Additionally, you can kick down any door while sprinting. So create cool moments.

  • Thermal assault rifle
  • Drum shotgun

The Imagined Order has taken many important POIs in Fortnite. They have turned the places and towns into camps and reinforced them with their troops. You can recognize the camps on the map by the large zeppelin symbols over the locations.

These camps include tanks, huge turrets, and above all, plenty of loot. If in the coming weeks the IO camps are taken over by the Seven, the existing equipment will be exchanged. Then you can expect armored battle buses and many cool weapons. If you feel like looting the zeppelins, you can pull yourself up with ziplines.

Ram device

Dying Light 2: How to find inhibitors and improve your strength and stamina

Tarek Zehrer Tarek Zehrer Reading time 4 minutes

In Dying Light 2 inhibitors determine how long you survive in the dark. They are also related to your attributes. How exactly this works and where to find them is explained here in our guide on MeinMMO.

What exactly are inhibitors? These inhibitor inhibitors are among the most important items in the survival RPG. They have two important effects that make your character stronger as you progress in the game.

  • Inhibitors increase your immunity in the dark. This allows you to go looting longer at night.
  • Every third inhibitor also grants you a skill point, which you can use to increase your health or stamina.
  • These attributes determine which abilities you can activate.

Inhibitors are thus the central building block for making your character stronger and more resilient. You will also unlock abilities.

But how do you find them? What are the best places to look for inhibitors? We give you an overview.

Dying Light 2 distributes inhibitors throughout the city

In total, there are 126 inhibitor inhibitors that are spread across Old Villedor and the Central Loop. First, a few general tips you should keep in mind.

As soon as you are near an inhibitor, you will be notified. A display in the bottom left of your HUD shows you the distance to the inhibitor.

This gives you a direct hint about where you need to move. However, there are containers that can only be reached inside buildings and only at night.

So don’t get too distracted; you can also actively search for them.

At a certain point in the main story, you will also unlock the antennas in the city. If you activate them, you can uncover all question marks in the respective district, making all inhibitor containers visible.

How to find inhibitors: You usually find the inhibitors in special containers. These are hidden in various locations and also accessible through specific activities.

These include:

  • Story missions
  • GRE anomalies
  • Crates
  • Subway stations
  • GRE buildings
  • Aerial deliveries

Inhibitors in story missions

What you need to keep in mind: Throughout the main story of Dying Light 2, you will be guided to various important locations in the game world.

You will usually come across new inhibitor containers automatically. However, pay attention to the warning about inhibitors nearby. It’s easy to overlook that you are passing by a container on a mission.

Explore the mission areas thoroughly as soon as you receive a notification. Many of the mission areas are harder to access later, so you save yourself some work.

Most main quests bring you containers with three inhibitor inhibitors. It’s worth it, as there’s a guaranteed attribute point each time.

Inhibitors at GRE anomalies

What you need to keep in mind: Anomalies can only be found at night. These are usually special and particularly dangerous variants of zombies, a kind of mini-boss.

You have to defeat these, along with some other zombies, in a sort of arena battle. This will open a GRE container nearby, where you will find a container with two inhibitors and other useful items.

Many of the anomalies are particularly vulnerable to ranged attacks, so it can be useful to have a bow or crossbow on hand.

Inhibitors in crates

What you need to keep in mind: There are also individual inhibitor inhibitors that can be found in regular containers such as crates, safes, or other hiding spots.

These are also distributed across regular buildings throughout the map. The time of day is not critical here. During the day, it will be a bit more challenging, as zombies are inside the buildings.

However, this should not pose a major problem, especially as you progress in the game.

Inhibitors in subway stations

What you need to keep in mind: Subway stations also play an important role in the game, independent of inhibitors. If you reactivate the power there, you unlock a fast travel point in the game world.

In addition, there is an inhibitor container if you successfully reactivate all generators. They will only be displayed to you once the subway station is operational again.

So keep your eyes peeled; the inhibitor is usually located right by your storage there.

In Dying Light 2, a secret NPC gives you a weapon from Cyberpunk 2077
von Benedict Grothaus

Inhibitors in GRE buildings

What you need to keep in mind: These locations are also spread across all districts and can be recognized by their quarantine symbol on the map.

You can only enter them at night, and you should still prepare well. While most zombies are active outside at night, GRE buildings are still well filled with biters.

In each GRE building, you can retrieve four inhibitor inhibitors. In total, there are three containers to find, of which the first two each yield one inhibitor, while the third contains 2.

So you get a guaranteed attribute point upon successful completion and a small bonus. In addition, there is plenty of loot to be found in the buildings.

Inhibitors in aerial deliveries

What you need to keep in mind: Some of you may have noticed the military support deliveries that can be found on rooftops throughout the game world.

While most of them contain loot and military technology, some of them also bring inhibitors. A separate guide with the locations is already in the works and will be linked here later.

More about Dying Light 2:

In general, it is recommended to uncover the map as much as possible through antennas. This helps in the search for inhibitors and also lets you see if they are regular crates or, for example, GRE buildings.

If you see 4 inhibitors in one place close together, that’s a clear indication of a GRE building. This will save you search time and confusion when you are crossing the game world.

Do you have tips for searching for inhibitors? What sources would you recommend?
