At the start of Update 2.5, you will receive a lot of Primogems in Genshin Impact once again. You don’t have to do much for that. MyMMO will tell you how to secure your Primogems.
Today, Update 2.5 in Genshin Impact has started, bringing new content to the game.Along with the new Electro heroine Yae Miko, an old acquaintance is also a new boss.
You can only get the shrine maiden Yae Miko like all characters through a lucky draw in the Gacha system. However, if you hurry, you can easily secure 620 Primogems right now. That is almost enough for 4 additional wishes that you can use for the 5-star character. You don’t have to do much for this Primogem.
How do I get the gifted Primogems? The 620 Primogems are easy to obtain, you just need to act quickly. Here’s how:
You will receive 600 Primogems in your in-game mailbox. To do this, open the Paimon Menu and select the letter icon on the left side of the screen.
In the mailbox, you should find 2 messages. Both contain 300 Primogems each.
You will receive 300 Primogems as compensation for the server maintenance that takes place before each patch.
You will receive another 300 Primogems as compensation for various errors in Patch 2.4. You will get the Primogems regardless of whether you were affected by the errors or not.
Click on “Collect All” in the bottom left to immediately gather the 600 Primogems.
Now you have secured 600 of the 620 Primogems!
How do you get the remaining 20 Primogems? You will get the remaining 20 Primogems by testing Yae Miko in the trial run. This is also very simple and quick to do:
Select the “Actions” field in the Paimon Menu (the icon for this is a compass).
Under “Trial Run,” you should see Yae Miko displayed. Click “Try” in the bottom right of the menu.
You will receive 20 Primogems through the trial run of the 5-star character Yae Miko
Complete the challenge and click “Leave Dungeon.”
Go back to the “Trial Run” menu. You can grab the 20 Primogems after finishing the dungeon by clicking where it says “In Progress” in the image above.
You can also try the 4-star characters available in the current banner with this method. While you won’t get any Primogems, you will receive materials relevant for leveling up the characters. This is especially worthwhile since all the characters in this banner are very strong.
Until when can I receive the Primogems? The 600 Primogems you receive through the mailbox expire in 30 days. So you have until March 18 to secure your Primogems.
The Primogems from the trial run will be available until the end of Yae Miko’s banners. So you can grab these 20 Primogems until March 08.
If you want to know what else awaits you in Patch 2.5 and which top characters will be available in the banner after Yae Miko, you can find all the information in this article:
Tips for sorting the pastures in Pokémon Legends: Arceus
This helps with sorting: If you do not want newly caught Pokémon to land in the sorted pastures, you can move the pastures in the overview using the ‘+’ button with Y. The sorted pastures should then be at the very end, while the empty pastures are shifted to the beginning.
In the overview with the ‘+’ button, you can also name the pastures or quickly move Pokémon. If you have selected a Pokémon and then go to the overview of the appropriate pasture, you can just click there to place the pocket monster in the first free position within that pasture.
This also works with multiple Pokémon at once if you press the Y button in a pasture. Then you can launch several pocket monsters into a pasture from the overview.
I have taken the time to sort my Pokémon by their Pokédex number and have moved the corresponding pastures to the back. This way, newly caught Pokémon land in the empty pastures at the front, while my sorted pastures at the back remain untouched.
This way, you can also simply go through the first pastures using the X button and simultaneously release multiple Pokémon – extremely convenient.
Pasture overview.Several Pokémon can be released directly.This is what pastures look like.
However, if you only want to press one button for sorting, as is the case with items, such a feature would definitely be appropriate.
What do you think about Pokémon Legends: Arceus? Did you give the game a chance despite the criticism, and are you having fun? Do you have any more tips and tricks for sorting the pastures? Feel free to let us know in the comments.
Pokémon Legends: Arceus is already one of the best-selling Pokémon games and is celebrating massive success among fans. However, an important feature is missing for players of the new Switch game – and no, it’s not about the graphics that are always criticized. MeinMMO reveals what it’s about.
What is so different about Pokémon Legends: Arceus? This Pokémon game fundamentally differs from all other pocket monster games. One could even say it resembles the mobile classic Pokémon GO.
You walk as a trainer through various parts of the world that almost border on an open world. They are large, colorful, and there are many little corners to explore where various types of Pokémon await the player.
There are 244 pocket monsters from all previous main series editions (via YouTube). Together with Cyndaquil, Oshawott, or Rowlet as your starter Pokémon, you set out on a journey to complete the Pokédex.
Unlike before, you do not have to defeat gyms, the Pokémon League, or only rarely trainers, but rather simply focus solely on catching or battling Pokémon. Therefore, there is an important feature that players particularly miss in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

A glimpse into the gameplay of Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
Players demand a suitable feature for Pokémon Legends: Arceus
What feature is missing for players? Some trainers are asking for the ability to sort the boxes (or in Legends the pastures) where the caught Pokémon are stored. Since everything revolves around catching various Pokémon, it would be practical to sort them accordingly.
There are various sizes, types, and the shiny versions of the pocket monsters that, for most trainers, end up all mixed up in the boxes.
Reddit user strangegoo opened a thread in which he complained about the storage system:
I have 10 pastures full of Pokémon and it’s totally annoying to go through each [pasture] individually to find something specific. I know there’s a search function, but that’s not what I want. Something that can be arranged like the item bag would be a godsend. Hopefully, they can patch that in.
MidasOfNerds agrees: ‘That would be a good idea since you need to catch a Pokémon multiple times.’ In Legends, catching a Pokémon is not as simple as in Pokémon GO or the main games. To truly complete a Dex entry, you sometimes have to catch a Pokémon 40 times – a real grind that happens automatically while you stroll through the world.
Other players are begging and also demanding a way to sort the packed pastures with Pokémon:
nat: ‘Nintendo, I beg you: Please add a sorting option for boxes in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.’ (via Twitter)
TheHackHazard: ‘Someone at Game Freak needs to get it together. Who develops an INCREDIBLY AMAZING game like Pokémon Legends: Arceus and doesn’t include an option to sort boxes. Nothing. Manually sorting hundreds of Pokémon is not my friend. I’m a dad… It has to be easier.’ (via Twitter)
Puking Guile: ‘Sorting my Pokémon boxes in Legends: Arceus sends me into an autistic meltdown. Why the hell do you include ‘auto-sort’ for your inventory with 30–40 items [in the game], but not for your boxes with literally hundreds of Pokémon?!’ (via Twitter)
What does MeinMMO author Lena say about this? I have also spent nearly 100 hours in Pokémon Legends: Arceus and can relate to the criticism. For quick sorting, such a demanded feature would definitely be practical.
If you still want to organize your boxes a bit, I can give you some tips that can make it a little easier for you.

All year round, various events take place in Fallout 76 that offer rewards. One of them was supposed to be disrupted by trolls, who aimed to bombard the event area. However, the participants are remarkably undisturbed by this.
This is happening in Fallout 76:
The Fasnacht event in Fallout 76 is currently underway, which was the very first event ever. In this event, players must protect a parade of robots.
Some villains are using atomic bombs to disrupt the event and contaminate the entire area.
The participants take it easy – they even thank the trolls, as they now receive rare materials.
What kind of event is this? During the Fasnacht event, a parade of Protectrons moves through the Swiss village of Helvetia in Fallout 76. Players must protect the parade from attackers and ensure it reaches its destination.
As a reward, there are unique cosmetics like masks that you can only obtain during the Fasnacht event. Accordingly, Fasnacht is particularly popular among fans.
This year, however, bored trolls appear to have taken it upon themselves to disrupt the event. They activate atomic bombs and drop them on the event area. But the players who want to enjoy the Fasnacht make the best of it and even thank the villains.

Trolls bombard the Fasnacht, ensure rare materials
This is why fans thank the trolls: The bombardment with atomic bombs contaminates the areas in Fallout 76. This effect allows the gathering of resources that do not exist in “healthy” areas, such as the coveted Flux.
Flux is needed to craft special items. It comes in various colors, some of which are rarer than others. The areas where these colors would occur are rarely targeted by bomb strikes. Atomic bombs are usually used on fissures or other spots to summon the coveted bosses of Fallout 76.
A user on reddit thanks the trolls for finally receiving cobalt-colored Flux and receives a lot of support. The event area is also full of enemies to gather the masses and liquids needed for crafting stable Flux.
Doesn’t that still disturb? Especially for new players, the bomb can be more disturbing since they do not yet have strong equipment to protect themselves against radiation. Particularly helpful players distribute protective suits to newcomers so they can survive, but this doesn’t always happen.
A bombarded Fasnacht is not ideal, but at least fans make the best of the situation. And as a little bonus, you might even pick up some useful mutations while wandering around in contaminated areas:
“First” event starts again – Big roadmap 2022 coming
As part of the Fasnacht event, Bethesda has directly apologized for being so quiet in recent times. The last update was the big worlds update that makes you into gods, and the “Night of the Moth” in fall and winter 2021.
However, a lot has been prepared for 2022, and there are already “great plans for Fallout 76“. The roadmap for this year is expected to be released in February. The big update “Invaders from Beyond” is also on the way and is scheduled to start in March.
Generally, 2022 will be an exciting year for survival fans and not just for Fallout players. Throughout the year, exciting titles or DLCs will be released:
The most popular Hearthstone mode is not making enough money – so Blizzard is now really selling strange customizations to make a profit.
Blizzard’s card game Hearthstone has long been more than just the standard mode with constantly new expansions. No, there are many other modes, such as the Arena, the Mercenary mode, the Classic mode, the Wild mode, the Duel mode, and also Battlegrounds.
Especially the Battlegrounds mode has been quite popular for months. However, this also leads to a problem – because Blizzard is apparently hardly making any money from it.
Why is “Battlegrounds” so popular? The fact that the Battlegrounds mode in Hearthstone has developed into a long-term hit has several reasons:
Free: Every game in this mode is completely free.
Equal Chances: You don’t need your own cards in this game mode. All minions are purchased during the game and returned afterward. Everyone has access to everything – spent money or gold does not matter.
Random Factors: Every match plays out differently. Unlike in classic Hearthstone, you cannot immediately tell at the beginning “With this deck, I have no chance against the other class.” Because at the start, you choose one from 3 (or 4) offered heroes – from a pool of almost 40 heroes. Additionally, certain types of minions are banned in each match, so you always have to rethink and try out new strategies.
Autobattlers are relaxing: The Battlegrounds mode is relatively relaxing and does not require much attention (in most cases). You can play it casually “on the side” while watching shows, chatting with friends, or being in the 7th Zoom meeting of the day.
The Battlegrounds remains exciting – and is every time again.
What is the problem for Blizzard? The fact that the Battlegrounds mode is so successful and can be played entirely without investment is also a disadvantage for Blizzard: The developers earn nothing from it. Anyone who only plays and loves the Battlegrounds mode essentially never has to spend money on Hearthstone.
A concept that Blizzard cannot change afterwards without making the Battlegrounds mode significantly worse and less popular.
What is Blizzard trying? For some time, Blizzard has been trying to introduce more and more monetization options into the Battlegrounds mode. Starting from new “Bartenders” who bring different lines to the player, to skins for the countless heroes.
However, whether this will really succeed is debatable. The bartender is a “personal” cosmetic. In other words: You can only see and hear it yourself. Cosmetic items in games are particularly sought after because you can show them to others and stand out from them.
The same goes for customizing the game board. Anyone who wants can lay down around 10 € to exchange the standard game board of the Battlegrounds mode for another variant – but even that can only be seen by oneself.
Skins for the countless heroes in this mode are also rather unconvincing. Unlike “real” heroes from the normal game modes, the heroes in the Battlegrounds mode do not have voicelines or emotes that can be used. So you are actually paying just for an image file that replaces another.
“Executor” animations are supposed to bring in money
Blizzard’s latest idea: Selling animations. It has already been announced that you will soon be able to buy “Executor” animations in the game. These will play when you defeat an opponent in Battlegrounds mode. Normally, your portrait will rise and attack the enemy to inflict damage.
This part of the mode can also be customized in the future – if you lay down some money. The normal attack can be replaced by an “Astral Strike”. This is either a blue wave of energy rolling towards the opponent or a proper projectile hitting if you deal at least 15 damage.
The new “Executor” animation that you will be able to buy soon.
At least: The “Executor” animation of the winning player will be seen by both sides, so you can at least “show off” with it.
More interesting information about Hearthstone can be found here on MeinMMO:
In the meantime, almost everything in Battlegrounds mode has been monetized that is not related to the actual gameplay. The announcer’s voice, the design of the Battleground, the appearance of the hero, and soon the Executor animation. Even to view statistics about the game mode, one has to pay each season.
It is clear that Blizzard wants to make money with one of the most popular modes in Hearthstone – and there is nothing wrong with that. However, the Battlegrounds mode is stuffed with customizations like no other, which can give the impression: The developers are truly desperate.

Tower of Fantasy is a new MMORPG that launched in China at the end of 2021. Visually, it is very reminiscent of Genshin Impact and will also be available for PC and mobile. Unlike Genshin, it incorporates many MMORPG elements. The global release has now been officially announced.
What kind of game is this? Tower of Fantasy is an Anime MMORPG developed in Unreal Engine 4. It features a large, open world that you can explore with your character. Visually, it is reminiscent of a mix between Genshin Impact and the highly anticipated MMORPG Blue Protocol.
You can create your own character, with no fixed classes
You can climb, swim, and destroy all sorts of objects, for example by throwing them into the fire
You can face greater challenges in dungeons
The game will continuously provide you with new quests
The NPCs are expected to have interesting personalities
You can look forward to typical MMORPG content like guilds, an auction house, or PvP
The story takes you to a distant future on the planet Ada. The humans colonized the world and built a magical tower with the help of a comet to tap into the planet’s primordial energy. However, a catastrophe occurred that nearly destroyed the entire civilization.
Dark forces now want to control this energy, but rebels aim to prevent this, destroy the tower, and free the energy for everyone.
In the video by YouTuber WadaGames, you can watch gameplay from the game:

What is new? Tower of Fantasy already held the first beta in China in 2020 and celebrated a soft launch there at the end of 2021. For a long time, it was said that the MMORPG would not come to the West. But this has now changed.
On February 11, the developers announced via new accounts on social media that a global release is planned. A Discord server has even been set up (via Discord). A website and promo videos are expected to follow soon.
The release is initially planned in English and Japanese. However, more languages are to follow in the future. Publishing could be taken over by Perfect World Games, which is already mentioned on the official website in China. The company has previously brought games like Perfect World and Jade Dynasty to the West.
When will the release take place exactly? A specific date has not yet been announced. However, we at MeinMMO will keep you updated. There is also no statement yet regarding the payment model, although Tower of Fantasy is Free2Play in China.
How is Tower of Fantasy being received so far? In the Chinese version, players gave Tower of Fantasy only 3.6 out of 5 stars in 79,000 reviews (via TapTap).
Criticism includes:
The difficult launch, during which there were constant server outages
The high memory consumption and high requirements for smartphones
The rather weak hit feedback
There is a gacha system for the weapons of 1 to 5 stars, which is not very well received because the chances for high-tier weapons are reportedly very low
On the other hand, praise is given for:
The story and atmosphere of the game
The changing and coloring of equipment pieces
Many endgame contents
Regular updates and many bug fixes that have been recently implemented
What do you think of Tower of Fantasy? Does the new MMORPG appeal to you, or will you be skipping it?
For 2022, a new MMORPG has just been announced that could rival Lost Ark:
The new killer in Dead by Daylight is the Onryō, the cursed girl from the Ringu story. We reveal what she can do.
The latest chapter of Dead by Daylight, Sadako Rising, has been officially announced. In the PTB, players can already test the chapter and try out the new killer along with all related contents. The centerpiece is of course the killer Onryō, who is better known to most as Sadako Yamamura – the cursed girl from the Ringu film.
What can the killer Onryō do? The power of the Onryō is relatively complicated, as it contains quite a few components. We will try to explain it step by step.
The Onryō starts the game in a “demanifested” state. As long as she maintains this, she has the “Undetectable” buff, therefore she does not create a red stain or a terror radius. Additionally, she is completely invisible to survivors who are more than 32 meters away from her. Within 32 meters, survivors see the Onryō at brief intervals, appearing and disappearing intermittently. While the Onryō is demanifested, she cannot attack.
By using her power, the Onryō can manifest. This takes a few seconds but allows her to attack normally afterwards. For a few seconds after manifesting, the Onryō remains occasionally invisible before becoming permanently visible – at least until she demanifests again.
The second component of her ability is the TVs that are scattered across the map. As in the Ringu film, Sadako can crawl out of the TVs – a teleportation across the entire map. Teleporting to a TV disables it for a while before it is automatically turned back on.
Survivors must manage a new status against the Onryō. When they witness the Onryō crawling out of a TV, they receive “Condemnation”. This status builds up slowly.
Survivors can turn off TVs to prevent the Onryō from teleporting to them. However, turning off a TV also increases the condemnation progress and gives the survivor a video cassette. As long as the survivor carries such a cassette, the condemnation status gradually increases.
A special TV is marked for each survivor. If they bring the cassette there and deliver it, the condemnation status decreases slightly.
If the condemnation is completely filled, the survivor is revealed to the killer. The killer can directly kill that survivor once they are downed – regardless of whether they are already on a hook.

These are the perks of the Onryō
Like all killers, the Onryō comes with three unique perks. At the beginning, only she can use these perks, but they can also be unlocked for all other killers through the blood web in their teachable form.
Scourge Hook:Floods of Rage – At the start of the round, 4 hooks become scourge hooks, whose auras are known to the killer. If a survivor is rescued from such a hook, the killer sees the aura of all other survivors for 5 / 6 / 7 seconds.
Call of Brine – After a generator is disturbed, this perk activates for 60 seconds. The regression of the generator is at 150 % / 175 % / 200 % of normal speed. Each time a survivor succeeds in a skill check on this generator, the killer is alerted by a loud noise.
Merciless Storm – When a generator reaches 90 % progress, survivors will face relentless skill checks. If they fail a check or leave the generator, it is blocked by the entity for 16 / 18 / 20 seconds. This effect can only be triggered once per generator.
These are the perks of Yoichi Asakawa
The new survivor Yoichi Asakawa also has unique perks that are initially only available to him but can ultimately be unlocked for all survivors through the blood web.
Parental Guidance – After stunning the killer, you leave no scratch marks, no bloodstains, and your pain sounds are suppressed for 5 / 6 / 7 seconds.
Empathetic Connection – When another survivor is injured, they can see your aura within a radius of 32 / 64 / 96 meters. You heal other survivors 10 % faster.
Boon: Dark Theory – You bless a dull totem or a hex totem. Survivors within a radius of 24 meters receive a speed boost of 2 %. The effect remains active for 2 / 3 / 4 seconds after leaving the totem’s range.
More about Dead by Daylight can be found here on MeinMMO:
When is the “Ringu” chapter released? The release for the DLC was announced for March 8, 2022, so in about 3 weeks. Presumably in the early evening, you will be able to get your hands on the killer, survivors, and the new perks and transfer the deadly curse onto others.
What do you think of the killer Onryō and the new perks? A cool expansion of the game or rather monotonous?

Wordle is one of the most popular games at the beginning of 2022, and many like to share their results with other users on the internet. Now someone has developed a Battle Royale variant: Squabble. There you can compete directly with other players.
What is Wordle? It is a browser game where you have to guess words. You don’t need to download anything, just access the website.
The game gives you six chances to guess a five-letter word.
Every day, the site is updated with a new word.
The word is the same for all players worldwide.
Now the developer Ottomated has released his own version of Wordle that mixes the game mechanics with those of Battle Royale games.

This is how Squabble works: It is also a browser game, for which you only need to access the corresponding website. There you can create games or join a round.
Squabble mixes Wordle’s word guessing with the fight for life and death from Battle Royale games.
Unlike the original, this is not just a calm, relaxed round. Players compete directly against each other and have to guess words under time pressure.
For incorrect attempts, you take damage, as well as if you take too long to make an attempt.
Why is Wordle so popular? In Wordle, it’s very easy to share results. This makes it quick and simple to spread your successes on the internet on platforms like Twitter. Since there is no app or other steps needed, it is also very accessible.
The mechanics are simple, but the game principle remains challenging, keeping it exciting. Ultimately, various factors came together that made Wordle go viral.
What do you think of it? Are you fans of Wordle? How do you find the Battle Royale variant?

Pokémon GO receives two new forms for the legendary Pokémon Lugia and Ho-Oh with the GO Tour: Johto. They come in an Apex-Crypto form. Accordingly, the developers have also shared their abilities and strength. And both leave a good impression.
You will receive this masterpiece research when you purchase a ticket for the tour and complete the special research. You will then have a bit longer to unlock Lugia and Ho-Oh.
Apex-Crypto-Ho-Oh and Apex-Crypto-Lugia are said to radiate an aura like you have never seen in any other Pokémon before. It is also said to change when you free them from the Crypto debuff.
Here’s how strong the two new versions of Ho-Oh and Lugia are
How strong is Ho-Oh? The new Apex-Crypto version of Ho-Oh uses the ability Purification Fire+. This is a boosted version of Purification Fire.
In trainer battles, it deals 130 damage
In gym battles and raid battles, it deals 135 damage
Those who redeem Apex-Crypto-Ho-Oh gain access to the ability Purification Fire++:
In trainer battles, it deals 130 damage
In gym battles and raid battles, it even deals 155 damage
How strong is Lugia? The new Apex-Crypto version of Lugia uses the ability Air Slash+. This is a boosted version of Air Slash.
In trainer battles, it deals 170 damage
In gym battles and raid battles, it deals 200 damage
Those who redeem Apex-Crypto-Lugia gain access to the ability Air Slash++:
In trainer battles, it deals 170 damage
In gym battles and raid battles, it even deals 225 damage
How strong is it exactly? The damage in trainer battles is exactly what you are used to from the regular versions of Ho-Oh and Lugia. These Pokémon are therefore not stronger than their counterparts.
So if you’re active in PvP, you should keep both Pokémon in their Crypto version.
However, there is a power creep in PvE. There, they are among the strongest Pokémon in the entire game.
Players fear Pay2Win for PvE and are disappointed with the model
How do the Pokémon come? The majority of trainers who have expressed themselves on reddit so far are rather disillusioned by the changes. On one hand, many are disappointed that the Apex-Crypto-Pokémon still use the same models, just with a bit more shadow.
Some had hoped that the “Gale of Darkness” Lugia could come into the game.
On the other hand, there are trainers who are unhappy that the two Pokémon can only be obtained through a ticket for the GO Tour. The reddit user Optimus_Toaster even sees a kind of Pay2Win in this:
If these enhanced abilities only apply to players with a ticket, then that is a strong form of Pay2Win. It was probably inevitable after the Regigigas day, I suppose.
Others, however, see no problem in this aspect, that the boost only exists for PvE content. What do you think? And will you secure the two Pokémon?

His own viewer numbers have become meaningless to him. The hype around Lost Ark is mainly based on Twitch Drops and because of the release. That will soon fade.
Why all the hype? In addition to the factors mentioned by xQc, other aspects fuel the hype.
Among the main reasons for the commotion surrounding Lost Ark is the long-standing hunger for new MMORPGs.
Additionally, the gameplay style of Lost Ark attracts fans of Diablo. Since its release, the MMORPG has certainly been the biggest game in the world on Steam.
As one of the biggest streamers on Twitch, it would actually pay off for xQc to stream Lost Ark, the currently biggest game. However, he refuses and now explains his reasons.
Who is that? Félix “xQc” Lengyel is a Canadian Twitch streamer. He originally started his career as an Overwatch pro, but had to end it early due to a lack of impulse control and related outbursts of rage.
His followers, however, seem to be little bothered by his angry demeanor. Rather, he has developed into one of the largest Twitch streamers .
As of January 30, 2022, he has 9.9 million followers and on average around 100,000 people watch him while streaming (via twitchmetrics).
With the release of Lost Ark, many of his viewers are wondering: Why isn’t he streaming the new Free2Play MMORPG that is currently making such big waves?
Lost Ark is too “grindy” for xQc, no longer a fan of MMOs
This is why he is not playing Lost Ark: In a stream, xQc mentioned that Lost Ark is no longer the kind of game he enjoys.
Specifically, Lost Ark is “very grindy”, demanding a lot of time for collecting loot. He says:
Will I play Lost Ark? Probably not. […] It is a very grind-heavy and very MMO-like game. That is not really my specialty these days. I have played MMOs all my life, and I think I had my fun.
When confronted with the fact that Lost Ark is such a big deal right now, he replied: “I don’t care. Do you want to know why? Because I don’t play shit based on how many views it gets.”
The hype surrounding the MMORPG seems to bother him very little, and he does not intend to profit from it just for financial reasons. Streamers who do that are, in his eyes, “weird”.
His own viewer numbers have become meaningless to him. The hype around Lost Ark is mainly based on Twitch Drops and because of the release. That will soon fade.
Why all the hype? In addition to the factors mentioned by xQc, other aspects fuel the hype.
Among the main reasons for the commotion surrounding Lost Ark is the long-standing hunger for new MMORPGs.

If you want to collect all achievements in Lost Ark , find all Mokoko Seeds and generally fill all the content in the Adventure Tome, you also need some songs. We at MeinMMO will tell you in this guide how to get the Song of Resonance and Forest’s Minuet.
What do I need the two songs for? The song Forest’s Minuet encounters you early in the game. It is needed right on the first map to find 2 Mokoko Seeds.
However, to unlock the song, you need the Song of Resonance. That’s why we will show you in this guide how to get both songs directly.
Unlock the Song of Resonance
How do I get the Song of Resonance? You get this song by visiting the NPC Treasure Hunter Ingran. He is located in Peyto on the deck of the ship 3F. Peyto is located west of Port City Changhun.
This NPC sells you the song for 16,500 Pirate Coins. You can get the coins fastest through the naval events on your island, ghost ships, or Unas daily quests. However, the ghost ships sometimes require a high Gearscore.
In Black Tooth’s Cave, there is also a quest line that rewards you with 10,000 coins, but it can only be completed once.
At this location is an island that is essentially a giant ship. There you will meet the merchant Ingran.
How to get the song Forest’s Minuet
How do I get Forest’s Minuet? To unlock the song Forest’s Minuet, you first need to complete the quest “The Forest Where the Fairies Sing.” You can accept the quest from Traveler Eclipse on Lullaby Island as soon as you are level 50 or higher.
This quest has three further tasks:

For the first quest, you need to find three fairies that are hidden. Their exact position on the Island of Lullaby is shown on this map of Papunika:
At the three locations marked with a star, you will find the fairies.
All fairies will ask you questions. The correct answers are:
Fairy 1:
Whistle
Wait
Whistle again
Fairy 2:
Place the shiny pebble on the ground
Do you remember me?
It’s a gift
Wait calmly
Fairy 3:
Just look at them.
Turn your back to them.
Let it be heard
I will look for one
Certainly
No worries. I am an adventurer
Once you have visited all 3 fairies and provided the correct answers, the second quest of the series starts. For this, you need to visit a hidden location on the map and play the Song of Resonance there. The location is also marked on the above map.
Once you have played the song, you receive an item called “Voice of the Forest.” You must play the Song of Resonance a total of three times to receive the item three times.
Finally, you must return to the third fairy and hand in the items. As a reward, you will receive Forest’s Minuet.
Those who are familiar with the earlier games from FromSoftware, the developer studio behind Elden Ring, may already suspect: The new action RPG will offer several hours of gameplay. The story is said to be around 30 hours long, but you shouldn’t just rush through it.
The release of Elden Ring is approaching, and more and more players are probably wondering how extensive it will be. Is it comparable to earlier titles like Dark Souls or Bloodborne, which were extensive but couldn’t compete with other heavyweights like Assassin’s Creed Valhalla?
How much content does Elden Ring offer? According to FromSoftware, the main story of the game is expected to take around 30 hours to complete. Of course, this also depends on your skills and approach.
This 30 hours are said to be the time if you only follow the main quest. However, the game also offers a lot of optional content.
Why Elden Ring is much more and why you shouldn’t necessarily just follow the red thread will be revealed here.

Exploration as an Important Element in FromSoftware Games
After our 6 hours with Elden Ring, we were able to experience a small part of the story and explore some of the game world.
As always, the beginning starts with a long and epic scene, but quickly returns to the usual calm. Because the story of Elden Ring is told in the typical FromSoftware style:
There are very few individual cutscenes
NPCs are generally more confusing and cryptic than helpful
The story follows a red path, but you have to search for the puzzle pieces yourself
Item descriptions and inscriptions in the game world are also important elements in the story
Every game offers optional paths, areas, and bosses that you have to find first.
Thanks to the mix of red paths and a game world that shows its story rather than presenting it through dialogues and staging, games like Dark Souls or Bloodborne have built up a vast, mystical, and enigmatic lore.
These games have little in common with typical story games, like the Bioware RPGs Dragon Age or Mass Effect. But what does that have to do with the fact that you shouldn’t play through the main story immediately?
Dark Souls 3BloodborneEarlier games also offered settings packed with secrets.
Take Your Time and Explore the Game World of Elden Ring
First of all, a note: Of course, there are different types of players and everyone has their own way of approaching a game. However, if you haven’t played Dark Souls or one of the other games before, you may not be so familiar with the unique style of FromSoftware stories.
So here are some tips:
Take your time exploring the game world
Read every item description
Explore every corner, as the world is packed with loot, puzzles, and other things
Experiment with your play style by testing various weapons, armor, and spells
By exploring, you’ll also find equipment that could be useful to you throughout the story
The more you play, explore the world, and conquer enemies along the way, the more familiar you will become with the game mechanics and improve.
You might also spare yourself annoying spots where you could get stuck due to the challenging difficulty, as you will be more practiced than someone who just rushes through the main story as quickly as possible.
Everything About Story and Setting
What we know so far: The lore and background story of the world were written by Game of Thrones author George R. R. Martin in collaboration with FromSoftware.
However, the author was more responsible for the mythology, legends, and famous characters than for the actual story that is the focus of the game.
Much more, the developers under Game Director Hidetaka Miyazaki took Martin’s glorious figures and “distorted and destroyed” them to fit the typical dark story.
The story revolves around the Lands Between and the powerful Elden Ring, which was shattered during a world-altering event.
You are to embark on a quest as a Tarnished to seek the shards and regain your grace, which plays an important and mystical role in the world of Elden Ring.
The Lands Between are divided into 6 regions that are interconnected and each differs significantly from one another.
Starting from February 25, you can find out for yourself how to best play Elden Ring. The action RPG will be released for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, and PS4.
Destiny 2 is only a week away from the big “Witch Queen” release, and finally, the end of the story is in sight. What else players can expect this week in the Destiny universe can be found on MeinMMO.
This is happening this week: Savathun would say: “Doubt is a useful tool, but it can be double-edged. Don’t let it mislead you.” At least Bungie has kept players waiting for quite a long time and has stretched the anticipation for the Season 15 finale to the limit.
Today marks the start of the finale of the “Season of the Lost.” So head to the H.E.L.M and get ready to defend the queens as the exorcism ritual on the Worm of the Witch Queen takes place in the Dreaming City and find out if Osiris is still alive.
In the Iron Banner, PvP players can also jump in this week and save their last quests from Lord Saladin for extra experience points in the new Season 16. Whether you’re ready for Witch Queen, this app will tell you.
The most important information on activities from February 15 to February 22.

Sources for top loot in Season 15 of Destiny 2
This is the new max level: In the Season of the Lost, the maximum power level of your gear is 1,330. This means the power level has only increased by +10 compared to the previous Season 14.

This top loot (Pinnacle Gear) brings you above 1,320:
Score at least 100,000 points in the Nightfall: Trial by Fire (+2)

For Destiny 2, the launch trailer for Witch Queen has finally been released. Not only does this build a horror atmosphere, but you also get insights into Savathûn’s past. We have analyzed the trailer and show you the most important things.
What a trailer was that? As the next major expansion of Destiny 2 only needs another week until release, Bungie has now also released the launch trailer. This mainly offers a lot of horror atmosphere like on the Glykon and also shows insights into earlier events from the life of the Witch Queen.
If you haven’t seen the trailer yet, we have embedded it for you:
Start video
Destiny 2 shows launch trailer for the new expansion Witch Queen
Young Witch Queen and disgusting worm child
In the trailer, three Guardians combed through Savathûn’s Throne World. Accompanied by a dark and frightening atmosphere, many locations were shown again that the Guardians will soon be able to explore.
Among them was also a glimpse into Savathûn’s past. Ikora, the Warlock Vanguard, looked into her vision of a young Witch Queen.
It is conceivable that this is the Witch Queen and her worm
She was on a rock formation, surrounded by a sea. There, the queen held a worm in her arms as if it were her own child. It is conceivable that this is her worm that grants her power and strength, and the rock represents her former planet Fundament.
In the meantime, you can see a desperate Vanguard and an enraged Zavala, who does not know what to do next. The Light has been taken from the Guardians, and now it is time to tear it back from the grasp of the Taken.
What else was shown? In the trailer, Guardians with powerful Void 3.0 abilities were shown again. A rampaging Titan with a Sentinel shield and a Warlock with a new melee technique have made the battlefield in the Throne World unsafe.
At the end of the trailer, you also see the entrance of the new raid. This will take place in a Pyramid ship and go live on March 5th. The Guardians in the trailer posed in the opening sequence in front of the location in the Swamp of the Throne World.
What do Destiny 2 fans say? They can hardly wait to finally swim into the new DLC and new content. Even the YouTuber “Mr.Fruit” writes the following:
I have never been so excited about Destiny 2.. LET’S GO!!
This makes it clear that many fans of the loot shooter are excited and can’t wait to strip the Taken of the Light. They only hope that their expectations will be met without a nasty surprise.
What do you think of the trailer? Do you also find it exciting, and is your hype growing? Let us know what you think!

Everything you need to know about Elden Ring – in 2 minutes
“How is the game supposed to run smoothly on the PS4?”
The users are discussing: However, some wonder how the game is supposed to run somewhat stably on the PS4 if the requirements are already comparatively high. For example, a user on reddit asks how the game is supposed to run smoothly on the PS4.
Many users probably still have the scenario with Cyberpunk 2077 in mind, which offered an incredibly poor performance on the PS4 and Xbox One. On the PS4 and Xbox, Cyberpunk 2077 was virtually unplayable, and there was even a lawsuit against the developers, and Sony even removed the game from the PS Store.
Have there been any tests on the PS4? Yes, some players reported that they were able to test Elden Ring during the network test (CNT) and that the game should run here at stable 30 FPS. Therefore, Elden Ring is indeed playable.
However, this does not necessarily reassure many users, as 30 FPS is the limit for many users regarding whether games are comfortably playable. With 30 FPS, you can already be at a disadvantage when you need to dodge quickly. Additionally, it is still unclear what role the framerate might play in crossplay between PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.
In competitive multiplayer, players with a lower framerate might indeed be at a disadvantage. Because with fewer frames per second, you have less information available to you.
Apart from gaming PCs, many users also discuss whether the game can run smoothly on the last-gen, meaning Xbox One and PS4.

The studio “From Software” has announced the system requirements for Elden Ring. However, they confuse the users.
What is Elden Ring? Elden Ring is an action RPG in the style of Demon‘s Souls and Dark Souls. You get a very challenging RPG with plenty of depth and a dark story.
The developers have now introduced the official system requirements on Twitter. However, they vary significantly. This confuses many users who are looking forward to the game or have already been introduced to Elden Ring.

People discuss the official system requirements for Elden Ring
What are the system requirements for Elden Ring? The developers have published the official requirements. The requirements are aimed at PC players, as there are no special requirements to consider for PlayStation or Xbox.
Minimum Requirements
Recommended Requirements
Processor
i5-8400 or Ryzen 3 3300X
i7-8700K or Ryzen 5 3600X
Memory
12 GB
16 GB
Graphics Card
GeForce GTX 1060 3GB AMD RX 580 4GB
GeForce GTX 1070, 8GB AMD RX Vega 56 8 GB
Hard Drive
60 GB
60 GB
Why are the users confused? Many users had assumed that Elden Ring would require 8 GB of RAM. However, the minimum requirements now list 12 GB, which has unsettled some users.
My heart skipped a beat with the 12 GB of RAM. Then I remembered that I had upgraded my RAM to 16 last year, now I just need money for the game, but had to break my piggy bank due to a dental emergency.
On the other hand, some do not understand the confusion. A user on reddit explains that he expected high system requirements. But instead, he was pleasantly surprised:
When I read that the system requirements are crazy, I expected something really wild. But a GTX 1060 and 12 gigabytes of RAM? Really? That’s a pretty modest system by today’s standards. 16 gigabytes of RAM have been the standard for smooth PC gaming for over 4 years now.

In Lost Ark, engravings play an important role in enhancing your character. However, one engraving is quite curious. You need to spam exclamation points to receive a proper damage buff. So if someone in your group is spamming the chat, they might have to do that.
What kind of engraving is this? The engraving is named Focused Sight and provides a significant buff. When the player types a message containing “!!!!!” in the chat, they increase the damage of their next ability by 8% at the first level and up to 28% at level 3. The buff is halved when you use an Awakening ability.
The engraving then has a cooldown of 30 seconds before the player has to spam the chat again.
So if you have a player in the group who constantly writes sentences with exclamation points in the chat, they are not a troll, but buffing their damage.
“Let’s be honest: It’s freaking funny”
How is the engraving received? In-game, the engraving has led to some curious situations. The user Tlim pointed it out on reddit after he obtained it himself, and it apparently caused some confusion in the Lost Ark chat. He writes:
I found myself in a dilemma. Is it worth being “that guy” who spams anime quotes in the chat every 30 seconds? Definitely!
The only problem I have is that random group members seem to be unaware of the existence of the engraving and therefore are calling me out for spamming the chat. Sorry, dude, it’s a game mechanic!
I thought I could perhaps raise a bit of awareness about the existence of this ability because, let’s be honest: It’s freaking funny.
On reddit, this special engraving is well-received. Many ideas are shared in the comments about what one could spam in the chat to activate the bonus effect, including:
Let’s get dangerous!!!!!
I’m sorry!!!!!
The game makes me do this!!!!!
Never gonna give you up!!!!!
One user also reports that the engraving has become such a meme in Korea that players even spam sentences with five exclamation points in the chat, although they don’t even have the engraving active.
Engravings strengthen your character, but also require some luck
What are engravings? With engravings, you can improve certain aspects of your character. However, you need to upgrade them by 5 to 15 points to unlock the bonuses.
To obtain the special engraving Focused Sight, you need to activate certain books that you can buy from the marketplace.
In 2017, the original Fortnite: Save the World was released, initially a PvE game. Over the years, the game has been increasingly overshadowed by Fortnite: Battle Royale. Now comes the next blow: Not even as an “independent game” will Save the World be considered in February 2022, as the new patch removes it from the Fortnite launcher and it will only be a mode of the Free2Play game.
What is the original Fortnite? On July 25, 2017, Fortnite: “Save the World” was released for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. At that time, it was an unusual early access title that was sold in stores. This was not typical for consoles. However, Save the World was an exception, as it was intended to be the showcase title of Unreal Engine 4.
Back then, it was stated: The game was now sold in a “raw state” but was to be further developed and ultimately released as a major Free-To-Play title in 2018.
The game heavily relied on microtransactions and grind. Players could sink a ton of money into “Loot Llamas,” which contained rare mythical cards. The selling prices at that time were also quite high: A Founder’s Pack cost up to €149. The standard PS4 version was priced at €59.90 at Media Markt – standard versions for PC and Xbox One were available for just under €40.
In the actual game, players built bases called “Forts” during the day in cooperative mode, which they then had to defend against various types of zombies at night (Nite). That’s also where the name comes from: Fortnite.
Battle Royale turns original Fortnite into Cinderella
How did the mode perform? Relatively quickly, already in September 2017, Epic Games realized that their game “Fortnite: Save the World” was not performing as well as hoped. Therefore, they rapidly brought up “Fortnite: Battle Royale”, a fairly blatant copy of the game concept from “PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds”, which at the time was the biggest PC game in the world that they were technically overseeing as the developers of Unreal Engine.
Fortnite: Battle Royale became one of the biggest gaming phenomena of all time in 2018. Epic Games allocated more and more resources to Fortnite: Battle Royale, shutting down the shooter Paragon, repurposing the team from Unreal Tournament, and limiting further work on Fortnite: Save the World.
The PvE game sank into obscurity, receiving less and less new content. The larger Fortnite became as a phenomenon, the smaller “Save the World” seemed by comparison.
The remaining fans hoped that the release of Fortnite: Save the World as a “Free2Play” title would finally bring a turnaround. After all, the release was still planned for 2018. Surely, all the players from Battle Royale would then recognize how great the PvE mode was and switch over.
But this Free2Play release was first postponed and then completely canceled. Because in the summer of 2020 came the news:
The game is now officially released, no longer in Early Access.
A “Free2Play” version will never exist.
The game will now also be developed more slowly than before, which sounded quite cynical: Because the game had been virtually neglected by Epic Games for years in the eyes of fans.
The news was a shock for fans of Fortnite: Save the World in 2020.
Epic removes “Save the World” from the main launcher
The whole time, it was still the case that players could choose when logging into Fortnite whether they wanted to log into “Save the World”, “Battle Royale”, or the “Create your World” mode. This is changing now: Starting today, players will automatically join the “Battle Royale” mode.
Save the World has now been downgraded to a mode that must be selected through its own submenu.

One of the most useful tools in Dying Light 2 is the grappling hook. Unfortunately, you get this tool quite late in the game. MeinMMO explains how you can obtain the tool and how to use it best.
What is the grappling hook? You can attach the tool to certain surfaces by throwing a hook connected to a rope. You then use this rope to swing and make long jumps.
The grappling hook has no effect on enemies; you can only target surfaces. These are marked by a display when you have equipped the grappling hook. However, you need stamina to use it and gain momentum, just like with the paraglider or the secret flying broom.
How do I get the grappling hook? During the mission “Transmission,” you unlock the hook. The mission is one of the last story missions of the game, and you will reach it likely after approximately 10 to 15 hours, depending on how much you focus on the story or other content.
At the end of the mission, you are given the grappling hook so that you can use it to climb a building. From then on, you have access to the tool and can use or upgrade it throughout the city.

Tips for the grappling hook – Fast and safely through the city
Why do I even need the grappling hook? Without the tool, you will not be able to reach certain buildings in Dying Light 2. With the grappling hook, more secrets of the game become available to you, such as some safes with special loot.
Remember to upgrade the hook with a master craftsman. Only then can you fully unleash its potential. We have some tips for you on how to use the grappling hook best.
1. Use the hook in free fall and prevent your death
When you are above the rooftops of Villedor, it can happen that you misjudge your jump from one house to another. This can often end fatally if you fall too deep or plunge into a horde of zombies.
With the grappling hook, you can prevent that. Throw it in a free fall towards the nearest surface above you to cushion your fall. You can even pull yourself directly to safety or use the swing to quickly take another route.
This does require some practice and good timing – but for emergencies, it is a good way to evade death. You can find more tips here:
The main area of application for the grappling hook is the swing on the attached rope. With this, you can explore previously unreachable places by swinging happily through the city.
However, an advanced method of moving is to combine it with the paraglider. If you are not making progress with the glider, you can drop a bit and swing forward at the next surface.
Thanks to the speed of the fall and the swing, you can redeploy the paraglider after letting go and continue gliding through the air.
By the way, when you use the hook while running, you also get a small speed boost. Although it’s minimal and not worth mentioning, it can save your life during a chase with good timing.
3. Defeat enemies with new moves and more tricks
The grappling hook cannot target enemies, but it can target explosive gas canisters. You can simply pull them to you and then comfortably throw them at enemies. This is especially useful if you would otherwise get detected or if you find yourself in a precarious situation. reddit user vulturevan shows in the clip how that looks:

Additionally, you can use the swing with the grappling hook to execute jump kicks. These are similarly powerful to the completely exaggerated dropkick, and you can kick entire groups of enemies off rooftops or into traps.
The grappling hook is versatile and one of the most important tools in the game. Especially if you want to see everything in Dying Light 2. Let us know how you like to use it and what tips you have!
With the grappling hook, you can secure your survival in Dying Light 2. But that’s not really the biggest problem, finds MeinMMO author Tarek Zehrer:
In February 2022, the latest expansion for the MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic will be released. The Legacy of the Sith continues the story around Darth Malgus and brings some new content. We at MeinMMO summarize everything important for you.
Update February 15: Currently, the SWTOR servers are down. A new trailer for the expansion will also be released at 5:00 PM.
Update February 13: The exact time for the release is now set. The Legacy of the Sith will be released at 7:00 PM German time. Prior to that, there will be maintenance lasting 6 hours (via Twitter).
What does the Legacy of the Sith expansion bring?
The new update 7.0 brings the following innovations: – The max level is raised from 75 to 80 – New story content, including on the planet Manaan – The new Flashpoint ‘Ruins of a Sith Fortress’ – A revision of the drops to almost completely eliminate randomness – The introduction of legendary gear – A revision of the class combat styles – The operation R-4 Anomaly, which will be released shortly after the expansion starts with patch 7.1 – New events and updates that are expected throughout the year after the expansion launches
When will Legacy of the Sith be released?
The new expansion will be released on February 15, 2022. There will be a downtime from 1:00 PM to 7:00 PM, after which the expansion is expected to go online. The release was postponed after it was originally planned for December 2021.
How much does the expansion cost?
The expansion is completely free for SWTOR subscribers. However, if you are not a subscriber, you cannot play. Typically, one month should be sufficient to see most of the content, so you should plan for 12.99 euros for it.
Can the expansion be tested already?
Yes, many of the new features are already playable on the PTR, although some story content will be held back until the final release comes.

Story and Flashpoint of Legacy of the Sith
What is the story about? Players can look forward to a continuation of the story from Onslaught. The expansion takes place on Manaan, a water planet. The Sith Empire is trying to seize control of the Kolto deposits and occupies the planet.
The story unfolds somewhat differently, depending on whether you represent the Republic or the Empire. After completing the story, you will unlock a new operations base and daily missions.
Although Manaan is a water planet, all activities will take place on land. There will still be no swimming mechanics in SWTOR.
What happens in the Flashpoint? The new Flashpoint ‘Ruins of a Sith Fortress’ continues the story around Darth Malgus. He is rumored to be hunting ancient relics on the planet Elom. That is exactly where your journey will take you.
Flashpoints are akin to the dungeons of SWTOR. In the story, they can be played solo, but there are harder modes where you will rely on other players.
On Manaan, there is plenty of water… and even more rain.
Which characters are involved in the story? In the story content, you will encounter some familiar faces from previous updates and expansions, including
Tau Idair
Major Anri
Lana Beniko
Combat Styles for Classes and Changes to the Loot System
What is the deal with the combat styles? The biggest innovation in the Legacy of the Sith pertains to the classes. They will receive the so-called combat styles. This means that at the beginning, you choose a path – Tech or Sith – and then you can freely choose between combat styles (essentially the old classes):
Troopers will have access to all kinds of weapons, such as sniper rifles, which was not the case before.
All Jedi Knights will access combat styles like Guardian, Sentinel, Sage, or Shadow over time.
Sith players can choose between the combat styles Juggernaut, Marauder, Sorcerer, or Assassin.
This is also intended to ensure that your gameplay is no longer bound to a class story.
A trooper will now have access to all Tech classes.
What changes are there to the loot? A further significant innovation in Legacy of the Sith concerns the loot. It will no longer depend on randomness:
New gear should no longer be obtained by drops, but through quests, weekly missions, the group finder, or directly through PvP.
Bosses will drop a currency that you can use to buy new gear.
Fame and random drops will be removed with patch 7.0.
However, there will still be random rewards and vanity items as random drops.
If you plan to start SWTOR in 2022, we recommend this class:
Operations are akin to raids in SWTOR. They are more challenging and require groups of 8 or 16 players. The new operation in Legacy of the Sith is called R-4 Anomaly and is expected to be released with patch 7.1. The challenging master mode will be released sometime in 2022.
In the story, a shady Sith cult is gathering technologies to create a terrible weapon.
This must be prevented, no matter whether you are playing on the side of the Empire or the Republic.
Spooky locations like this operation will also be part of Legacy of the Sith.
Galactic Season 2: Shadows of the Underworld
Along with the new expansion, the second season in SWTOR will also start. This will bring some cosmetic rewards from the Shadows Syndicate. Also included is a companion from the species Duros.
Anyone with a subscription will automatically unlock the pass, so there are no additional costs. Furthermore, you can catch up to the “average” with in-game currency if you start the pass later.
PvP, further improvements and plans for the time after the release
What new features are there for PvP? So far, no adjustments for PvP have been announced.
What smaller updates are there? With Legacy of the Sith, some small adjustments will be made, including:
A new character creation
Adjustments to the UI and inventory to modernize the user interface
Conquests will yield fewer credits
Incomplete daily and weekly quests will disappear when the reset occurs
What happens after the release? The developers plan new story updates, further adjustments to the UI, more seasons, and new flashpoints for the period after the Legacy of the Sith.
In general, there will be some events throughout the year to celebrate the 10th anniversary of SWTOR. The developers also revealed that there is a plan for at least another 10 years.
SWTOR celebrated its release on Steam in 2020. Since then, it has been one of the most popular MMORPGs. We have compiled the games with the best ratings for you:
With the launch of Season 2 in Call of Duty: Warzonethere are new secret bunkers that you can discover and enter on Caldera. We will tell you where to find them.
At the start of Season 2 of Warzone, 7 secret bunkers are hidden on Caldera. These are roughly marked on the map with a yellow ring. They are still not easy to find.
In each bunker, besides AI-controlled enemies (who do not offer real resistance) and story secrets, you can find some good loot. Alongside rare weapons, important field equipment, and many killstreaks, you’ll also frequently find the new gas ammunition.

We will tell you where to find all the secret bunkers. We list them clockwise, starting with the northernmost bunker at the docks.
Additionally, we will also tell you the map quadrant where you can find the bunkers. You can read the quadrant from the letters and numbers that border the map.
The entrance at the docks is quite easy to find. Look in quadrant F1 for the green observation tower, the bunker is slightly east of it.
You can find the entrance to the bunker at the docks in quadrant F1
CoD Warzone: Finding Bunker at Runway
The bunker at Runway hides behind a door in a building at I2. Look for a building that somewhat resembles a square bracket on the map. The door is at the northern end of the building.
In quadrant I2, you can find the Runway bunker behind a door in the building
CoD Warzone: Finding Bunker at Fields
The bunker in Fields hides slightly behind 2 blue-gray water towers in quadrant F5.
The bunker in Fields is located in quadrant F5, next to 2 water towers (pay attention to the marking on the map image, not the player position)
CoD Warzone: Finding Bunker at Resort
The secret bunker at Resort is easy to find, as the hill is well recognizable on the map. Look for the bunker slightly north of the C-shaped water gathering in H7.
The bunker at Resort is on a hill in quadrant H7
CoD Warzone: Finding Bunker at Power Plant
The most cunningly hidden bunker is the one at Power Plant. Look for 2 waterfalls in quadrant E8. Walk through the left of the two waterfalls – the bunker hides in a small cave behind it.
The entrance to the Power Plant bunker cunningly hides behind the left waterfall in quadrant E8
CoD Warzone: Finding Bunker at Lagoon
The bunker at Lagoon does not try to stay hidden. You can find it by a hut in C6.
In quadrant C6, you can find the bunker of Lagoon
CoD Warzone: Finding Bunker at Mines
The yellow circle at Mines is somewhat misleading – the bunker hides on a hill in quadrant D3, south of the hut in the yellow bunker marking.
You can find the entrance to the bunker at the mines on a hill in quadrant D3
These are the 7 secret bunkers in CoD Warzone Season 2. How many of them have you found on your own? And have you cracked the secrets within? Let us know in the comments.
