In the Weekend League, the toughest competition in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team, meta players are the key to collecting many victories. So if you want to keep up, you cannot miss these players. We show you 7 strong meta cards that are currently quite strong.
What kind of cards are these? These cards are especially popular in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team and dominate especially the Weekend League. This is because the cards fit perfectly with the current gameplay of FIFA 22 and offer exactly the right values for their positions.
Therefore, you will often encounter such or similar players in the Weekend League and should also rely on meta players for better results.
There is only one drawback: Since the cards are so popular, not all of them are particularly cheap. However, we have still tried to present you cards from all price categories.
7 strong meta cards for the Weekend League
These cards we show you: Here we present you meta cards that currently (26.11.2021) represent particularly good options in the Weekend League. This year, there are noticeably many French meta cards. So if you already have a few French players in your team, these cards fit particularly well into your squad.
Presnel Kimpembe
Kimpembe has a card that looks a bit inconspicuous at first glance. But when you encounter an opponent online who relies on Kimpembe, you quickly realize how incredibly good the defender is. He is fast, physically strong, and clears everything that comes his way.
In addition, Kimpembe has surprisingly good ball control, making him the current meta defender.
The card costs: Currently, you have to pay around 20,000 coins for Kimpembe.
Renaud Ripart
The Rulebreakers card of Ripart is a real bargain with very good values in almost all areas. The striker is versatile and surprisingly performs particularly well in the CDM position. If you give him a Shadow chemistry style, you have a lightning-fast and defensively strong all-rounder in midfield who also offers great shooting values.
Thus, Ripart is a real secret weapon.
The card costs: For an incredibly low 12,000 coins, you can currently find Ripart on the transfer market.
Heung-min Son
The gold card of the South Korean has everything you could wish for from a winger: He is fast, has a fantastic shot, strong passing values, and very good dribbling stats.
Additionally, there is the combination of 4-star skill moves and valuable 5-star weak foot, which ensures that you can shoot at goal from any position with Son.
The card costs: For Son, you currently have to spend around 60,000 coins.
Jesus Corona
The Rulebreakers card of the Mexican midfielder is currently very popular in FUT 22, which is likely due to the fact that the player from FC Porto has 5-star skill moves and 5 stars for the weak foot. A rare combination that not many cards, apart from icons, offer.
But his stats are also fantastic. He excels especially in the areas of speed, shooting, dribbling, and passing with outstanding values.
The only problem might be incorporating a Mexican from the Portuguese league into your team.
The card costs: The card of the Mexican midfielder currently costs 57,000 coins.
Dayot Upamecano
If your budget is tight, then with Upamecano you get a really cheap meta player who can reliably stop opposing strikers. He has everything that a good defender needs in FIFA 22 right now: He is fast, tall, somewhat agile, and has excellent defensive and physical values.
The card costs: You can currently get the gold card from Upamecano for just 2,400 coins. If you have a full FUT account, then it is worth taking a look at his 84-rated TOTW card. This one is a bit better in all areas.
Jonathan Bamba
Once again, we present a French Rulebreakers card in this list. This time we are talking about Bamba, who is a fantastic addition to Rulebreakers Ripart. The winger has outstanding shooting, speed, passing, and dribbling values.
He also impresses with the popular 4-star combination for the weak foot and skill moves. His only disadvantage is the high price.
The card costs: The Rulebreakers card is currently available for around 100,000 coins on the transfer market.
Wissam Ben Yedder
What would a meta list be without Ben Yedder? The French striker has become a true terror for many players in recent years. But when you play with Ben Yedder in attack yourself, you quickly notice why he is so feared: He is fast, can shoot well, and has very strong dribbling stats.
But the best thing about the card may be the 5-star weak foot, which hardly any striker can offer for such a low price.
The card costs: You currently only need to spend around 5,000 coins for Ben Yedder.
What do you think of the cards? Do you have any tips for meta cards in FIFA 22? Feel free to share it with us in the comments!

The gaming platform Steam has set a new all-time record: 27,182,165 users were online simultaneously on Saturday, November 27. A higher number has never been recorded. We look at MeinMMO to see which games and circumstances are behind this. Games like CS:GO and DOTA 2 were mainly played, but also the MMORPGs New World and Mir4.
What was the previous record?
The previous record was 26,922,926 in March 2021.
In comparison, Steam added another 200,000 simultaneous users on November 27 at 3:00 PM our time.
What is to be noted? Of the more than 27 million users, only a part was actually playing: Only about 7.8 million were actively in programs. The rest perhaps browsed Steam for deals or simply left the program running in the background.
Shooters, MOBAs, and MMORPGs dominate the top 10
Which games were played the most? It is mainly the long-term favorites:
The shooter CS:GO had 845,144 users
DOTA 2, from Valve, reached 663,563 users
The battle royale PUBG ranked third with 241,902 users
The “Wallpaper Engine” at number 10 of the most played “games” is quite a surprise
Omicron variant stirs fear of lockdown
Why is the record coming just now? Several factors are coming together:
The “Steam Autumn Sale”
The start of the holiday season around Thanksgiving in the USA
A new variant of the Covid virus, the “Omicron” variant, is worrying many citizens worldwide
This is how it is being discussed: For some, the numbers on Steam are a clear indicator that Covid is becoming more threatening again at the end of 2021 due to the new variant. People are preparing for lockdowns.
On reddit , people are discussing the advantages of PC gaming: It’s crazy how the numbers on Steam have improved. 10 years ago, it was still at 4.8 million. The PC is on the rise, offering so many advantages. Even with outdated hardware, one can still play decently for years: There is a wave of excellent indie games.
Steam enthusiasts take the opportunity to emphasize: The ongoing success of Steam also shows what a flop the “Epic Game Store” is. The store and Epic CEO Tim Sweeney have often been in the line of fire.
The SF epic Cyberpunk 2077 was supposed to be the “Game of the Year 2020,” but many technical issues stood in the way of its triumph. A year later, Cyberpunk 2077 is experiencing an unexpected resurgence. Behind the new enthusiasm for Cyberpunk 2077 on Steam is not a patch, but a sale.
This is the situation:
Cyberpunk 2077 was the most anticipated game worldwide in 2020: A new role-playing game from the creators of the masterful “The Witcher” series. The Gamescom appearance of Hollywood star Keanu Reeves further fueled the excitement.
The release on December 10, 2020, was overshadowed by many technical problems. Especially the console versions for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One sparked outrage and even lawsuits. Cyberpunk 2077 was considered unplayable on the older consoles. The PC version also suffered from glitches and bugs, though not nearly as severely.
However, in November 2021, the mood on Steam seems to be changing.
5,500 positive reviews on Steam in one day
Here’s how the reviews have improved: Since November 24, positive reviews for Cyberpunk 2077 have exploded:
On November 23, there were only 78 positive reviews.
On November 24, there were 2,882 positive reviews.
On November 25, the number rose to 5,589.
This is what “positive review bombing” looks like on Steam.
Was there a patch? No, that is not the reason for the sudden enthusiasm. The last patch 1.31 for Cyberpunk 2077 was released in September for Steam.
Cyberpunk is popular among Steam users; they love the graphics and story
So what’s the reason? Cyberpunk is currently 50% off in the “Steam Autumn Sale” and apparently the game is selling like crazy. At one point, it was the bestseller on Steam.
It seems that many who are now trying the game on Steam find it really good. The new reviews note that while there are bugs, many are impressed by the story and graphics.
It apparently helps Cyberpunk 2077 immensely that a year later it no longer has to meet the huge expectations like at launch, and the negative vibe from the console release doesn’t dampen the enthusiasm.
Although Cyberpunk 2077 also had issues on PC, they were never as bad as on PS4 and Xbox One.
Cyberpunk 2077 is expected to continue selling and improving for years
What’s next? For 2022, CD Projekt Red has announced a major patch, Patch 1.5 – along with a significant “next-gen update.” Both are expected to be released in the first quarter of 2022.
The developers say they believe that players will perceive Cyberpunk 2077 as a “very good game” in the long run, like the other titles they have made. They will sell the game for years – especially as hardware continues to get more powerful and they continue to improve the game.
A multiplayer mode was initially planned for Cyberpunk 2077. However, the release issues changed that:
As part of the Hoopa event in Pokémon GO, there is a special Spotlight Hour featuring Pikachu today, November 28, 2021. We at MeinMMO will show you if you should take advantage of it.
What is a Spotlight Hour? In Pokémon GO, there is usually a special hour once a week where a specific Pokémon is in the spotlight and spawns more frequently in the wild.
Since Hoopa, the mysterious creature, is causing some mischief due to the current Hoopa event, this short Spotlight Hour is also happening daily during the event. Today, you will encounter the Electric-type Pokémon Pikachu.
Spotlight Hour with Pikachu – Start and Bonuses
When does the Spotlight Hour begin? As in the past two days, the short event will also start today, November 28, 2021, at 12:00 PM local time. After an hour, at 1:00 PM, the Pikachu spawns will disappear.
Is there a bonus? Like every Spotlight Hour, the spawn rate is increased, and you will encounter many Pikachu. If you also use a lure, you will attract even more specimens.
Unfortunately, there will be no additional bonus today. However, you can benefit from the XP and candy bonus of the Hoopa event, just like in the past days.
Is there a Shiny Pikachu? Yes, with some luck, you can encounter a Shiny Pikachu. It is slightly darker than the regular Pikachu.
Pikachu normal (left) and as Shiny (right)
Is the Spotlight Hour with Pikachu worth it?
Is it strong? Pikachu is an Electric-type Pokémon from the first generation and can evolve into Raichu. Both Pikachu and Raichu are not among the best attackers in Pokémon GO. And they also do not play a significant role in the PvP League (via pvpoke.com).
Who should take advantage of the Spotlight Hour? The Spotlight Hour is especially worthwhile today for Shiny hunters. If, however, you are looking for a strong Pokémon for raids or the GO Battle League, you should rather seek out other monsters.
Are you participating in the Spotlight Hour today? Or do you have no interest in Pikachu? Feel free to share your opinion here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange ideas with other trainers.
The MMO New World made a fantastic start at its release, but the number of active players on Steam has drastically decreased since then. What does the future hold for the game? We discuss it in the current episode of our podcast.
This is the topic: The release of the MMO New World at the end of September 2021 was a major event. The servers were overwhelmed from the first minute, and hours-long queues formed with thousands of players waiting to finally be able to play.
With an all-time peak of over 900,000 concurrent users online, New World shot straight into the top 3 of the most played Steam games within the first days. Even the executives of Amazon were satisfied with the launch, although there were some server-side issues.
However, over time, player numbers continued to decline, revealing various issues, serious bugs, and exploits. There were multiple gold and dupe exploits that led to temporary shutdowns of trading systems and even a rollback.
Nevertheless, after the first major update, the reviews on Steam came in, and New World continues to struggle with bugs and issues.
What will happen with New World? This question was addressed by the MMORPG editor Alexander Leitsch and editorial director Gerd Schuhmann.

Killstreaks reward strong players in Call of Duty: Vanguard with even more kills – but you don’t always have to put up with it. Because one of the most annoying killstreaks can be easily brought down from the sky.
Who doesn’t know it – a match in the multiplayer of Call of Duty: Vanguard is just starting to get fun, and then the full-time sweaters have already unlocked the strongest killstreaks.
Bombs, dogs, flamethrowers – suddenly the map is full of deadly war machines, and every wrong step means going to the respawn. But at least one of the strong killstreaks can be easily destroyed – the airstrike.
Just a few shots destroy enemy bombers
How can you prevent the airstrike? If you hear the announcement from the match announcer that an enemy airstrike is inbound, then look up at the sky very carefully.
Turn in circles and scan the sky in all 4 directions. The bombers come exactly from the north, east, south, or west, at the height of the activating player – you can recognize the directions by your compass.
Now you need an assault rifle, and with a few shots, you can destroy the large planes:

Since the bombers do not drop their explosive cargo directly, but first fly a little over the map, you have some time to take out the planes.
In total, 3 bombers fly over the map per killstreak, and with a bit of practice, you can take out all 3 enemy planes. However, the direction of the planes changes with each new bomber.
If you take out the 3 bombers in time, you can prevent any bombs from being dropped on the map.
Here it pays off the most: With the airstrike, you cover the map with bombs in a straight line. The larger the map, the smaller the chance of hitting an opponent.
But especially on smaller maps like Shipment or Dome, the bomb carpet hits hard, and you should try to prevent the attack.
Enemy killstreaks can turn a good match into an uncomfortable massacre. But when you reach the highest streaks yourself and unleash vicious dogs on the entire opposing team, you remember why this mechanic fits so well with Call of Duty.
In Fortnite, you still have a lot to do before you can face the Cube Queen. We at MeinMMO have taken the time to create a checklist that shows you what else you should complete before the end.
1. Collect all Color Bottles and Unlock Cartoon Fish Styles
What are Color Bottles? Color Bottles are similar to the Alien Artifacts from Season 7. These are needed to create your new custom Cartoon Fish Skin. With them, you can unlock new colors for the skin, its guitar pick, the glider, and also for its back bling.
This allows for the wildest color combinations. For example, headgear, neckerchief, arms, legs, and many other areas of your skin can be colored.
These Color Bottles can be found on the map
These styles can be unlocked – complete their tasks to do so
This is what the Cartoon Skin and its menu look like
How can I buy the styles? You will need rainbow ink for this. You can find it in every conceivable chest on the map in Fortnite. You just need to open them, and you will automatically collect them. The amount of ink obtained varies and is not present in every chest. This requires patience and time.
Is there more? Yes, new styles have been added that can be unlocked by completing tasks. These tasks can be found on the icons of the respective skin styles. Click on the skin icon you want to unlock, complete the required task, and then unlock this style for purchase.
2. Unlock Secret Skin and Cosmetics
Who is the skin? This skin is the secret skin from Season 8. Each season features a secret skin, which is revealed later. These skins come with a wide range of cosmetic items such as gliders, pickaxes, or weapon paint jobs.
This will be the annihilator that destroys your map.
How do I unlock it? To do this, you must access your quest tab and complete the tasks there. They are as follows:
Survive five storm phases while carrying a Tilted weapon – Unlocks the “Cube Queen” outfit.
Eliminate a player with the Tilted minigun – Unlocks the emote “Victorious Cube”.
Interrogate two opponents – Unlocks the loading screen “At the Queen’s Court”.
Use a Shadow Stone or Jumper and spend three seconds as a Shadow near a player – Unlocks the back accessory “Cube Vortex”.
Once you have completed that, you will automatically receive a style for the skin. After that, you have access to the second page of rewards. You can unlock them as follows:
Deal 150 damage to players with the Tilted Scythe – Unlocks the pickaxe “Reality Destroyer”.
Complete a bounty from a bounty board – Unlocks the spray pattern “Royal Visage”.
Score two headshots with the Tilted rifle – Unlocks the lobby music “Queen’s Anthem”.
Use the glider in the cooling towers of Steamy Stacks – Unlocks the glider “Royal Glider”.
After you have completed all the tasks, you will receive the last style of your skin as a gift.
3. Unlock Everything in the Battle Pass
How can I do this quickly? You need to complete the stamp cards in the quest tab. You select a card and the corresponding NPCs on the map will be marked automatically. Now head into a match and visit the NPC. They will then assign you a task that consists of five parts.
The end is near, and soon there will be no Chapter 2 Map as it is. The Cube Queen will do everything she can to destroy it to seal the fate of the island.
Therefore, use the time you have left to capture some cool moments, take photos, or even visit your favorite POIs.
Also, try to enjoy the current vehicles, as they may not be on the new map.
New weapons could replace the current guns. So take the opportunity and make some cool kills on players or even raptors. These beasts are annoying and nobody likes them.
What do you think about the end? Can you hardly wait? Let us know in the comments what you think!

In Pokémon GO, on November 27, 2021, another special raid hour will take place, where you will encounter the legendary Pokémon Heatran. We at MeinMMO have looked at which counters you should use and whether the event is worth it for you.
What kind of event is this? As you know from the weekly raid hours, you will again see numerous Level 5 raids for one hour today. In conjunction with the current Hoopa event, daily raid hours are also taking place at this time. Today, you will encounter the legendary raid boss Heatran.
Raid Hour with Heatran – Best Counters
When does the raid hour start? As you are used to from regular raid hours, the event will start today, November 27, 2021, at 6:00 PM local time. You will again see the dark eggs over the gyms that indicate the upcoming Level 5 raids. After one hour, at 7:00 PM local time, the raids will decrease.
Use these counters against Heatran
The legendary Pokémon of Fire and Steel type comes from Generation 4. It is particularly weak against Ground-type attacks, but Fighting and Water attacks also give it trouble. Exploit this weakness and rely on the following counters (via pokebattler.com):
Pokémon
Moveset
Gible
Mud Shot and Earth Power
Landorus
Mud Shot and Earthquake
Rhyperior
Mud Shot and Earthquake
(Shadow) Mamoswine
Mud Bomb and Steam Roller
Groudon
Mud Shot and Earthquake
Excadrill
Mud Shot and Drill Run
(Shadow) Swampert
Mud Shot and Earthquake
(Shadow) Flygon
Mud Shot and Earth Power
Golurk
Mud Shot and Earth Power
Garchomp
Mud Shot and Earthquake
Your Mega Evolutions are also excellent against Heatran:
Mega Blastoise with Water Gun and Hydro Cannon
Mega Gyarados with Waterfall and Hydro Pump
Is the raid hour with Heatran worth it?
Is there a Shiny Heatran? Yes, Heatran can also be obtained as Shiny in the game. You can recognize it by its pink eyes and orange-red body.
Normal Heatran (left) and Shiny Heatran (right)
How strong is it? Heatran impresses with strong values. It especially stands out with a high attack and stamina value, making it one of the best Fire attackers in Pokémon GO. It is also a good candidate in the Master League (via pvpoke.com).
For whom is the raid hour worth it? Anyone looking for a strong Fire Pokémon for use in raids or the GO Battle League should definitely seize their chance today. Moreover, with a bit of luck, you might encounter a Shiny specimen.
Alternatively, due to the multitude of raids, it is advisable to collect as many Heatran candies as possible. You need these to power up a strong specimen. When Heatran will appear again in the Level 5 raids is currently unknown.
Will you participate in the raid hour tonight? And which counters do you want to use against Heatran? Please feel free to share your opinion here on MeinMMO in the comments.
Some of the characters from the series Arcane are likely to become champions in League of Legends. The team “is looking forward to” making that happen.
The animated series “Arcane” has taken off like a bomb. Not only LoL players are thrilled, but many viewers who have never had anything to do with League of Legends were also captivated by the series. However, one question kept pushing to the forefront among players: Will we see some of the characters in League of Legends soon? The developers gave a first response to this – and it is sure to please.
What was said? In a Reddit post related to the “Sentinels of Light” event, the question arose whether the two upcoming characters at the start of 2022 (ADC and Support) could be related to the series Arcane. This was directly denied by Ryan Mireles, the “Lead Champion Producer”. However, there was a positive note right after: The team is already looking forward to bringing characters from Arcane. More specifically, it says in the LoL subreddit:
[…] As strong as the series resonated with so many players, the Champions team is already eager to explore characters from Arcane in the future that would make sense for a MOBA.
Many would like to see Mel Medarda as a character in LoL.
Which characters could that be? That is a good question. One characteristic of Arcane was that all characters were developed so thoroughly that a non-LoL player could hardly tell which characters already exist in the MOBA. Even the newly introduced characters were so extensively designed that they could easily be seen as having their origins in the game.
This, in turn, leads to a fairly solid list of characters that the LoL creators could draw upon. Possible candidates include:
Mel Medarda
Ambessa Medarda
Deckard
Silco
Sevika
Mylo
Claggor
Marcus
Finn
Bolbok
However, keep in mind that some of these characters are no longer alive, which greatly reduces the likelihood. It seems much more likely that living characters make it into the game.
More news about League of Legends and Arcane can be found here:
When could the characters arrive? There is no specific date for that yet. However, no one should expect that the implementation will happen within the next few months. Riot typically plans characters at least six months or longer in advance.
So perhaps we will see the first surprise from Arcane in the second half of 2022 when a character makes its way into League of Legends. And then it may not be far off until fans can finally watch a second season of the series…
Would you like to play some of the series’ heroes (or villains) in LoL? Who do you think should make it?

The project manager behind the MMO DC Universe Online apparently no longer wants to focus solely on the DC universe. Instead, he plans to develop a large AAA MMORPG in the Marvel universe in the coming years. Find out here at MeinMMO everything we already know about the new Marvel MMORPG.
What game is it about? The DC Universe Online studio Daybreak Game Company is part of the holding company Enad Global 7. This group recently held an investor presentation (via enadglobal7.com) and presented new projects there, among other things.
Among them were news about existing games from the group, such as DC Universe Online or Lord of the Rings Online. But the most exciting was certainly the very last announcement. Because at the very end, there is talk of an “Unannounced MMORPG”.
At the very bottom right is the announcement of the new Marvel MMORPG. Source: Enad Global 7
Chief developer has been trying to realize a Marvel MMORPG since 2006
Who is the chief? The project leader is also Jack Emmet. Until now, he has been the boss of DC Universe Online. But he probably has a greater passion for Marvel because since 2006 Emmet has been trying to develop a Marvel MMORPG.
He almost succeeded once, and Microsoft actually wanted to develop a game called “Marvel Universe Online”. In the end, however, things didn’t turn out well, and the project was abandoned.
Jack Emmet’s passion for superheroes is undisputed, as he was also a co-founder of Cryptic Studios, which developed the superhero MMORPG City of Heroes.
DC Universe Online is supposed to continue to be developed, even though the chief will probably turn to Marvel in the future.
When is the Marvel MMORPG coming? Anyone hoping for a timely release of the game and already imagining themselves as Iron Man, Hulk, or Black Widow defeating enemies in 2022 will have to be patient. Because the release of the project is clearly under “long-term planning” and will certainly not be completed before 2023, probably even later.
On Black Friday there are many exciting offers on Amazon and others. Some users hope to get an RTX 3060, RTX 3060 Ti in a gaming PC on sale. MeinMMO tells you what to pay attention to.
Black Friday is always a good opportunity to save money on certain things. Some will also ask whether they could save money on an RTX 3060, RTX 3060 Ti, or RTX 3070.
MeinMMO presents what you should consider when buying a gaming PC if you want to take advantage of Black Friday deals.
Memory and Hard Drive – Pay Attention to These Specs
If you want to buy a gaming PC, there are a few important things to keep in mind. Otherwise, a good offer can quickly turn into a trap.
You should generally pay attention to buying a gaming PC with at least 16 GB of RAM. This is currently the best option, as 8 GB will quickly limit you. Particularly future-proof is 32 GB, but most users will not need that much yet.
If you see a gaming PC with 8 GB of RAM, you should at least look for an upgrade option. For this, the gaming PC should have at least two RAM slots, and one of them should be free. If you don’t like tinkering with computers, you should avoid systems with 8 GB.
Additionally, you should ensure that you get enough storage. A combination of 512 GB SSD and 1 TB SSD/HDD is the most common option. While you use the smaller drive for the operating system and important programs, you can offload your games onto the larger SSD/HDD.
RTX 3060, RTX 3070, or RTX 3080 – Which Graphics Card?
How fast does my graphics card need to be? Generally, you should be clear about what you actually need. Do you just want to play a few MOBAs, and do the details not need to be at full settings? Or do you want the whole package of 4K, cool ray tracing, and more?
If you mainly want to play MOBAs like League of Legends, a GTX 1650 or GTX 1660 would normally be sufficient. However, the prices for those are currently quite high. If you do not need to buy a PC immediately, wait for prices to stabilize. Currently, prices for a GTX 1660 are at least 499 Euros, and it is better to wait for a good deal on an RTX 3060 (via geizhals.de).
With the GeForce RTX 3060 or the RX 6600 (XT), you are already getting powerful performance for Full HD at 144 Hz and even some reserve for WQHD. If you prefer to play in WQHD at 144 Hz, then you should at least get an RX 6700 XT or an RTX 3070. The price increase for the RTX 3070 Ti is only marginally worth it.
Ryzen 5 3600 and RTX 2060/RTX 2070 are Still Sufficient in 2021
Can you still game with old hardware? With older hardware, you can save money, especially when every Euro counts.
If you see a gaming PC with Ryzen 3000 or with a 10th generation Intel processor on sale, that is initially not a bad deal. Even though these processors are already a year old, their performance is still sufficient for all games and applications.
There is already a newer processor with the Ryzen 5 5600X, but the Ryzen 5 3600 still offers more than enough performance at this time. Newer processors usually provide slightly better performance or are simply more efficient than older generations.
With an RTX 2060 or RTX 2070, you can still game without problems at this time. Additionally, even the second generation of RTX cards supports ray tracing and DLSS.
Are There Really Good Deals on Black Friday?
Those needing to buy a gaming PC now—whether because circumstances force them to or they urgently need a birthday or Christmas gift—will still find some worthwhile offers where they can save some money.
Otherwise, the advice remains: If you currently do not need new hardware, be patient and wait for prices to stabilize in the coming months. As NVIDIA explained, graphics card prices will remain high even in 2022 and will only decrease afterward.
What do the current offers look like? As of now (27.11.2021), there are no gaming PCs on Amazon where an investment would really be worthwhile. If you want to buy a gaming PC with an RTX 3060 on Amazon, you will have to pay at least 1300 Euros:
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
Things look a bit better at the retailer OTTO. Here you can potentially save around 30% on a new gaming PC with an RTX 3060 or even RTX 3070. While prices are still very high, the offers are on average better than if you had to buy a graphics card.
An alternative could also be the MeinMMO PCs from Boostboxx. Prices start at 1499 Euros for a configuration with Ryzen 5 5600X and RX 6700 XT.
If none of the prices convince you, the advice remains: be patient and wait for prices to drop again. By 2022 at the latest, prices are expected to reach a more comfortable level.
Further recommendations for Black Friday: Are you still looking for good deals for your gaming setup or your home? On MeinMMO we present more exciting offers related to Black Friday. Currently, you can get one of the best gaming monitors heavily discounted on Amazon:
In Call of Duty: Warzone and Vanguard the event “Secrets of the Pacific” is finally online. In both games, you can now complete tasks and challenges to score the blueprint for a variant of the assault rifle STG44. We at MeinMMO explain to you which challenges exist and which places you need to visit to rock the Pacific.
What kind of event is this? To get you in the mood for the new Pacific map in CoD Warzone, there is the event “Secrets of the Pacific” until December 8, 2021. However, you won’t be traveling to the namesake ocean. Instead, you should visit 6 locations and find objects there. You need to keep these objects for a while, then the respective challenge is considered completed and you will also receive a card for Warzone.
What can you win? Once you have found all 6 objects, you will receive a blueprint for the German assault rifle STG44 called “Bomber Menace.” However, the rifle will only be unlocked when Season 1 of Vanguard starts on December 8.
In the following paragraphs, you will find the exact locations of the objects. Keep in mind that you cannot just pick them up quickly but must hold onto them for a longer period. You do not have to find all the objects in the same round, and in fact, that is unlikely due to the time limit.
Here you can find all locations at a glance.

Go to the prison in the southeast of the map. Then head to the ground floor to the showers. In the changing room, there is a bench with a table tennis paddle on it. That’s the paddle you are looking for.
2 – West Promenade
Here you are looking for an electronics shop located between the train station and the West Promenade. In the store, look for a stand microphone. That is the object you seek.
3 – Airport
Land on the airport grounds and then go to the Burger Town restaurant. There is a cash register there that represents the sought object.
4 – Hospital
On the ground floor of the hospital, there is an operating room. On the operating table, there is a blue box containing first aid equipment. That is your target.
5 – Mines in the Northwest
Go all the way to the northwest of the map, where the mines are. From the westernmost building, take the zip line down into the mineshaft. There, you will find a dynamite button that is your target.
6 – Bunker
The 6th object is located in one of the 3 new bunkers on the map and can be found in any of them. The collectible is a miniature battleship.

New trailer shows the beginning of the story of CoD Warzone with Vanguard
These are the Challenges in Vanguard
This is what you need to do in Vanguard: The challenges for the STG44 can also be completed in CoD Vanguard. However, you do not need to find objects in the multiplayer maps, but only complete 6 special challenges. Each challenge also offers special cards or sprays, and in the end, the special STG44. It doesn’t matter if you complete the tasks in Vanguard or Warzone to get the STG.
The 6 challenges are:
Get 25 kills: This should sort itself out.
Get 5 multi-kills: This should also be completed by a reasonably competent player in one or two rounds.
Get an execution: This is actually a bit tricky; ideally, sneak around with the Ninja and Ghost perks and stealthily take out known camping spots. There you should have a good opportunity to stab someone from behind with a finishing move.
Choose an MVP in 10 rounds: Probably the easiest challenge.
Play with a clanmate 5 times: Join a clan and play 5 times with a member. Done!
Achieve three victories: This will also sort itself out eventually.
WoW demon Cortyn longs for a feature in World of Warcraft. Housing. After 17 years, it’s a shame that it’s still missing.
Even though I’m currently having quite a lot of fun with patch 9.1.5, I increasingly notice that my guild mates and I are slowly losing interest. We still have our two guild nights a week, where we complete dungeons, farm transmogs, or collect achievements. But more and more often we find ourselves stopping after just one or two hours.
The current content is simply exhausted for us. It’s not fundamentally boring, but we have achieved what we wanted to achieve, and just to get the last item up to 252, it’s simply not worth visiting 10 dungeons a week anymore. We don’t care that much about perfect gear.
Discussions keep coming up about what small “in-between” games we could play together. And this led to the consideration of what World of Warcraft would need to offer for us to want to spend hundreds of hours at a time in Azeroth again.
We talked about missing features. About something essential that all other major MMORPGs have today and which is missing in World of Warcraft.
It always came back to one point: housing.
To be honest: I find it a shame that it doesn’t exist yet.
That after nearly two decades in World of Warcraft I still have no way to create a place where I can say “Here lives my elf” or “This is my witch’s hideout” is simply embarrassing.
That after 8 expansions with numerous continents, new classes, and graphic overhauls on a role-playing realm I still have to say: “Yes, so my character lives … in this fictional house. Yes, there are NPCs in it, but let’s pretend it’s a different house or just sit on the roof and play this out in our heads.” It’s just embarrassing for World of Warcraft.
The assets for cool houses already exist – they just need to be accessible to players.
Housing cannot make the world emptier
One argument against housing has always been the concern that players would just rot alone in their houses and social interaction would practically cease. This is a misconception that nearly every other major MMORPG refutes.
Housing does not make players in the community more solitary.
That this is the case can be said with a quick look back at WildStar. I remember how much fun it was to set up a tavern together in WildStar or to spend hours “hopping through the neighborhood” admiring what other players had built. Like a Granok from the guild just living in a huge beer barrel, an Aurin creating a small, own forest, or a human having created his shady red-light district that was perfect for rogue RP.
It’s very similar in Final Fantasy XIV. When I see videos of nightclubs or luxury villas where people meet to celebrate, chat, or just bounce around – damn, I’m so jealous.
Housing does not cause people to sit alone in their houses. When done well, houses become small hotspots, providing space for creative play, a common place to just chat a bit, or the foundation for role-playing.
Above all, the argument that “the game world would then be so much emptier” is therefore irrelevant. The game world in World of Warcraft is factually empty, aside from the capitals and the newest expansion.
The “Chromie Time” made leveling more pleasant and better – but split the game world into 7 new versions.
This is not only due to the declining player numbers but especially because in World of Warcraft there are 14 different shards per realm during the leveling phase. When you activate “Chromie Time” while leveling, you enter your own shard where only your current expansion is active. This exists 7 times. This number doubles if you also activate the war mode.
The vast world of World of Warcraft is thus already fragmented into 14 shards – plus some others that create additional “phases” of an area depending on quest progress.
Meeting another player while normal questing is practically impossible outside of the Shadowlands already. At least not on my realm.
Housing would not further separate players, but rather create new gathering spots. The most beautiful houses in the guild would be the new hotspots or would provide a communal space for guilds that further strengthen the feeling of belonging.
If WildStar could do one thing, it was housing.
WoW can do Housing – but unfortunately not officially
What annoys me even more is: I know that it’s fundamentally possible with World of Warcraft. I have some acquaintances who play WoW on semi-legal servers where they can create their own areas and simply draw on all the assets of the game. When I see something like that, I’m always very impressed – and at the same time have to grit my teeth that WoW simply doesn’t have something like that. At least not officially.
In theory, it would be so easy to implement. World of Warcraft would “only” need to copy housing 1:1. Let players create their own instances that are reminiscent of small sections of Stormwind, Orgrimmar, a piece of forest, or even a demon palace.
Create a new tab in the “Collections” window and put all the thousands of assets that exist in World of Warcraft there.
The numerous lamps, beds, cabinets, plants, statues, and all the other objects that exist everywhere in World of Warcraft. Distribute them as additional loot in all dungeons and raids, incorporate them into crafting professions, archaeology, or as special items in the world that you have to find first. Tie them to specific achievements and – if absolutely necessary – put a few as premium items in the in-game shop.
I know my fellow players and I. A huge offer of housing objects spread all around the game world would completely rekindle our fire for WoW. I have a transmog fetishist in the guild who changes outfits practically every 20 minutes. If you let her loose on such a system, the day would have to be longer than 24 hours.
More news about World of Warcraft can be found here:
In the past, it was always emphasized that while they are thinking about housing, they must find a way to connect it with the rest of the gameplay. Housing must therefore provide some benefits or gameplay aspects that connect it with the rest of the game.
My opinion on this: No. Just no.
Housing can exist entirely on its own, almost in a vacuum. It can be content that has little to no connection to the rest of the game. It does not require additional gameplay incentives.
Housing is in most other games primarily a creative pastime where you think more about your character and their lifestyle – and thus find even more attachment to the game. Additionally, there’s the social aspect when you can proudly show your friends your in-game house and share excitement over creative uses of items.
Of course, I understand that the engine of World of Warcraft would likely need a lot of work and the effort for the developers would be considerable. But it is such an important feature that I don’t understand why this time was never allocated.
For almost 17 years we have spent time in World of Warcraft. Some make short excursions into the world, for others it has become a daily ritual, part of everyday life. The fact that we still do not have our own home in this “second home” should change quickly.
Individualization and self-expression have a very special value in MMORPGs that cannot be measured in character stats or gameplay elements. You have also introduced new character customizations because that allowed players to express themselves better and represent themselves in the world.
Now do it with housing. And if you need to hire old WildStar developers for that. Just do it.
Please.

A man allegedly stole 200 consoles, including PS5 and Nintendo Switch devices, and secretly sold them. The consoles were supposed to be shipped. The thief stole consoles worth 5.8 million yen (about 35,000 euros).
Now, another strange case has occurred. In Japan, a man did not simply steal one console but 200 pieces. Among them were, in addition to the PS5, also Nintendo Switch consoles and older models of the DS series. He then resold all these consoles.
Man allegedly sells dozens of PS5 consoles in secret
This is what happened: An allegedly 50-year-old man in Tokyo is said to have resold 200 PS5 consoles, Nintendo Switch devices, and corresponding games. At least, this is reported by the Japanese magazine Sankai.com.
The man is said to have worked for a company that delivers goods. But instead of delivering the load, he simply sold the consoles to various stores in Tokyo. He is said to have made a profit of around 3 million yen. This is about 23,000 euros.
After the sale, the person mainly spent time in internet cafes throughout Tokyo. Such internet cafes are much better equipped than those in Germany. In some of the cafes, you can sleep, take a shower, or get free drinks.
The Japanese police agency is reported to have arrested the man on “suspicion of embezzlement.” How and under what circumstances he was arrested is not known.
Gambled money on horse races
The suspected person stated after the arrest that he sold the entire load because he had financial problems. He explained, “I bet almost all the money on horse racing” (via kotaku.com).
This is not the first supplier who does not deliver a console and instead keeps or resells it. For example, an Amazon driver who was supposed to deliver a PS5 console simply repackaged the device and never delivered it. The robbed family then contacted Amazon directly with evidence:
In the Free2Play shooter Halo Infinite, reports from players and e-sport professionals indicate that the first cheaters are already at work. Among other things, aimbots are said to be in play to gain unfair advantages. Players are now concerned that things could get even worse in the future.
What is the situation in Halo Infinite? In the free multiplayer mode of Halo Infinite, players have discovered the first cheaters. For example, pro gamer CouRage shared his frustration via Twitter.
Quickly, other top players, including pros Clayster and kiffdog, came forward to report annoying cheaters plaguing them in their matches. Clayster summarized it as follows:
Just encountered a cheater in the FIESTA playlist in Halo… on Thanksgiving… some people really need to get their lives together.

Halo Infinite is more popular than ever, but so are cheaters
What does cheating look like? On reddit, a player also shared a highly read post (3.7K upvotes, 1K comments, as of 27.11.2021). In it, he shows aimbot cheaters in action. The user wonders if it will only get worse soon, as the first aimbot cheaters are already roaming a good week after launch.

What are the players’ reactions? Users in the comments are understandably upset about the cheaters and wonder why anyone would bother cheating in a simple playlist without ranks. It would be even worse if this happened later in ranked matches, with cheaters unfairly climbing to high ranks.
Halo Infinite is free-to-play in multiplayer mode and is currently at the top of the Free2Play charts. Therefore, there are concerns that even more cheaters will soon flood the game.
Additionally, some players complain that crossplay is to blame for everything. They argue that if console players kept to themselves, the cheaters, who primarily play on PC, would no longer bother them.
What are the developers doing? So far, nothing has been taken on by the developers. However, Halo Infinite has not fully launched yet, and it is possible that the developers will take further steps.
Players also hope that the reporting function for suspected cheaters will improve. Currently, the report button is not easy to find and opens an external browser window where users must manually enter the cheater’s information. Many players wish for an easier solution.
Cheaters, by the way, are not the only things frustrating players in Halo Infinite right now. A part of the community is currently very upset about the steep prices in the in-game shop and asks: ‘Are you kidding me?’

In Pokémon GO there is a spotlight hour featuring Sableye today, November 27, 2021. We at MeinMMO have looked into what to expect from this short event and who should take advantage of it.
What is this spotlight hour about? As it was yesterday, there will also be a special spotlight hour today as part of the Hoopa event. This short, one-hour event usually takes place on Tuesdays, but Hoopa brings you more of these events this weekend with its antics.
Like every other spotlight hour, there will be a specific Pokémon in focus, which will appear more frequently. Today, it is Sableye.
Spotlight Hour with Sableye – Start, Shiny, and Strength
When does the spotlight hour start? Today, November 27, 2021, at 12:00 PM local time, the short event begins. As always, it lasts a full hour and ends at 1:00 PM local time.
What bonuses are there? Of course, you will encounter numerous Sableye spawning in the wild at every corner today. With the help of incense, you can also attract more specimens. However, today’s spotlight hour does not bring you a special bonus.
As with yesterday’s hour, you can still benefit from the general bonuses of the Hoopa event, which give you double experience points when catching and double candies when sending.
Is Sableye available as a Shiny? Yes, Sableye is available in its shiny form in the game. Look out for a yellow specimen.
Sableye normal (left) and as Shiny (right)
How strong is Sableye? The Dark and Ghost-type Pokémon comes from Generation 3 and has neither a pre-evolution nor a further evolution. While Sableye does not play a role in raids due to its rather average stats, it can shine in the Great League (via pvpoke.com).
Why you should take advantage of the spotlight hour today
Primarily, Sableye is interesting for trainers looking for a strong Dark and Ghost Pokémon for the Great League. But shiny hunters will also get a good deal today.
Thus, you get 750 Stardust for each Sableye caught. If you also use a Star Piece, it goes up to 1,125 Stardust. If it is also misty in your area, then the creature gets an additional weather bonus, and you can secure up to 1,406 Stardust per specimen.
Useful for Hoopa research: However, the spotlight hour with Sableye can be especially useful for some trainers today. Those who are still stuck on the special research “Misunderstood Antics” and thus need to catch Dark and Ghost Pokémon will definitely find what they need today.

What was the goal of the video? JackFrags wanted to not only raise players’ awareness of the problem with the video. He says he hopes that the developers of Battlefield 2042 will see the video.
Since the problem is clearly identifiable and presented in a repeatable manner in the video, he hoped that the developers could recognize the cause of the problem.
With this hope, he seems to have been right. Because just a few hours after the video was put online, a developer from DICE contacted him.

How are the developers reacting? Florian Le Bihan, the lead game designer at DICE, has replied to JackFrags on Twitter. In a first tweet, he praises the test and asks if it was recorded after the latest update (via Twitter).
After JackFrags confirms that the video was created after the patch, Le Bihan thanks him again and announces that he will look into it more closely.
About 10 hours later, he responds again with the following tweet:

Even after the first major patch, Battlefield 2042 is still struggling with some issues. YouTuber and Battlefield expert JackFrags has shown a significant annoyance in a video. His intention was to help the developers find the cause. Apparently, he succeeded.
The update from November 25, 2021, has fixed many major problems in Battlefield 2042. This includes adjustments to the overpowered hovercrafts as well as changes to the best and worst weapons.
Under very rare circumstances, we see that our servers do not correctly register hit markers. Although it is difficult to reproduce (thank you to everyone who submitted clips and screenshots), we are actively working on identifying the problem and finding solutions.
JackFrags, a well-known YouTuber in the Battlefield community, documented the issue in a video. This has apparently helped to identify the problem.
Video shows issue under repeatable circumstances
What is the problem? In Battlefield 2042, it can happen that your bullets do not deal damage, even though they hit the opponent. You can even see from blood splatter that the shots hit the opponent – but he takes no damage. The hit indicator in the crosshair, which is normally shown for hits, is also missing.
This problem affects hit registration (in English: Hit Registration, often abbreviated as HitReg). Numerous games before Battlefield 2042 have had similar difficulties, including Apex Legends.
With poor registration of supposed hits, it looks clear on your screen that you have hit your opponents – however, they take no damage. Your shots seem to disappear for no reason.
JackFrags documents this poor hit registration in his video. He calls it a “pretty big problem”:

What can be seen in the video? JackFrags shows in his video how hit registration seems to sporadically not work.
In a breakthrough match against bots, he positions himself at a specific spot in the game: directly behind the pipes of a ventilation shaft at point C1 on the edge of a roof on the map Kaleidoscope. By the way, it is exactly the spot that players are currently using to unlock all attachments in one round.
From this position, he can shoot at the bots almost unopposed. Thus, he can test when and how the problem occurs. Because the position is safe and the circumstances are repeatable, he can observe the problem more closely.
What causes the problem? Although the video shows the problem in a repeatable context, JackFrags can only speculate about the causes. He suspects that it might have something to do with the number of players in a small space. He also considers the smoke effects as a potential culprit.
He rules out the internet connection: Not only does he have a very low ping – the match takes place against bots, so there should be no fluctuations caused by other players.

Despite all the turmoil, the release of Battlefield 2042 was reportedly better than that of Battlefield V, according to DICE:
In League of Legends there is a commotion about the European top team Fnatic. They signed the Frenchman Adam “Adam” Maanane (19) in 2021, who had a strong season and won the award for best rookie in Europe in 2021. However, at the Worlds 2021, there apparently was so much trouble with the German botlaner Upset that Adam has now left the team.
This was the situation at Fnatic:
2021 did not go well for Fnatic until drastic measures were taken to salvage the season. In May 2021, they signed the only 19-year-old Adam placed him in the top lane and moved the original top laner Bwipo to the jungle. Adam won the award for “Rookie of the Year in Summer 2021”.
Adam had a strong season and Fnatic managed to qualify for the Worlds. However, at the Worlds, botlaner Upset left before the first match . Without the German, Fnatic was eliminated 1-5.
Why is Adam gone? The Frenchman makes it clear on Twitter: His surprising departure from Fnatic is now solely his decision.
He was especially frustrated that Upset left the team without giving reasons. As far as Adam knows, Upset only left because his girlfriend was feeling alone and bad.
In the aftermath of the Worlds, Upset also allegedly tried to push him out of the team and instead sign the experienced top laner Alphari. Anyway, Upset is planning to change the entire top side of the map, which means mid laner Nisqy would also have to go.
When Adam heard that Fnatic wanted to replace him, it felt like betrayal to him. Adam says he sought a conversation with Upset, who made him feel that he would not meet his expectations.
Adam thinks he played a very important role in Fnatic’s success and is apparently now angry that as a rookie he has no say. In farewell, Adam explains that he has many good memories of Fnatic but will leave the team because he cannot endorse what has happened.

What does Upset say? The German Elias “Upset” Lipp (21) comments on Adam’s accusations (via twitter). He feels misrepresented, he informed the coach Yamato about the reasons for his departure at the Worlds, but not the others. He did not want to make himself or his family vulnerable, as he knows how quickly things circulate on the internet and that some were just waiting to hurt others.
His wife would never ask him to leave the Worlds. When people say such things about his wife, it hurts him especially. People who attack his wife based on assumptions, without having insights, are the worst.
The claim that he only told his team before leaving that his wife was feeling bad is a blatant lie.
He informed the team of the deep pain he was feeling.
Regarding the matter with Alphari, Upset says: He is a former teammate and friend of his. Alphari asked to speak with Upset after the first contact with Fnatic. But the team makes the decision on who to sign. Fnatic only asked him for feedback.
Of course, he wants to surround himself with players that he believes form the best team. He is as transparent as possible about it.
Upset explicitly did not want to comment on the collaboration with Adam.
Just like Upset’s wife, the girlfriend of Fnatic player Bwipo also came under fire from fans during the LoL Worlds 2021:
It’s almost time again in Destiny 2 and Xur, the unknown and mysterious vendor, will reveal himself to you. What he will bring today, on November 26th, and where he is located, you will find out here on MeinMMO.
What happened this week in Destiny 2? Not much, Bungie is busy preparing for the 30th anniversary. The new ornaments are being polished, the Gjallarhorn is being placed in the dungeon, and hopefully, annoying bugs are being fixed, like the issue with FPS on PC.
Meanwhile, old Guardians are having trouble explaining the story of Destiny 2 to new Lights. The content vault is devouring the important content, that new players need to understand the story.
All info about Xur on November 26, 2021 – PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Google Stadia
When does Xur arrive? Xur will arrive on time at 6:00 PM in Destiny 2. He will have set up camp until Tuesday, November 30th, at the weekly reset at 6:00 PM and is looking forward to your visit.
Where is Xur? This is his camp for the weekend
Xur’s location: He is located on Nessus at the Guardian grave on the tree.
Xur’s location on Nessus (Barge)
Xur’s inventory from 26.11. to 30.11. – All exotics at a glance
What does Xur have on offer? As always, Xur has an exotic weapon and armor for all characters, for Warlocks, Hunters, and Titans. Here is his current offer:
Weapon: The Merciless – Fusion rifle for 29 legendary shards
Titan: One-Eyed Mask – Gauntlets for 23 legendary shards
The Trials of Osiris on 26.11. – Map, Weapons, and Info
Which map is in play this week? This week, the well-known map “Twilight Gap” is up.
This is how you get your loot: You will no longer receive your loot in the Trials of Osiris through three, five, and seven wins, but through:
Seven victories
50 rounds
as well as the infamous flawless run
This is the reward for a flawless run: This time, you can expect the sniper “Eye of Sol” and that also in the adept version.
Once you have received your desired weapon, you can focus your trials engrams specifically on it. Additionally, there are enhancement prisms and ascendant shards. Keep in mind that your rewards will further increase once you have a full card – even if you lost one or two games.
When do the Trials start? The Trials start as usual at the daily reset at 6:00 PM.
What have you done this week to kill time until December 7th? Let us know in the comments!

To get all the attachments for your weapons in Battlefield 2042, you need to level them up by using them and collecting kills. This is quite easy against bots – and particularly effective at a certain point, as players have discovered.
What kind of spot is this? The reddit user FrontAfter973 found a spot on the map Kaleidoscope where weapons can be easily leveled up. Leveling up is so easy that he could even “eat a sandwich” while doing it. You just need to follow a few steps:
play in solo/co-op mode against easy bots (“beginners”)
select the “Breakthrough” mode
choose the map Kaleidoscope – you will see in the bottom left which of the 7 maps is starting shortly
use Angel as your specialist and play the weapon you want to level up
The spot itself is near the spawn at point B and there, at the next elevator. Go to the top and turn left. You will find large pipes behind which you can hide and continuously farm bots.
It is important, however, that you play Angel. This way you can continuously refill your ammunition, and you will never run out. This is thanks to Angel’s special ability. You can find out more about it in our guide to all specialists in Battlefield 2042.
Can I unlock all attachments this way? Yes. You need around 400 kills with most weapons to unlock all attachments. You can even unlock them in a single round in this mode, as the player explains.
With the attachments, you can then customize the weapons in the plus menu, if you have selected the attachments beforehand. How this works exactly, we will reveal in the guide:
How far can I level up the weapons? Even though you can unlock all attachments, the usefulness of this spot is limited. Because you cannot earn badges or new tier levels this way.
