December is just around the corner and so is the next round of bonus games for PS Plus subscribers. In this article, you will find rumors and speculations about which games could be available in December.
What is being speculated: Every month, PlayStation fans speculate about which games could be available to PS Plus subscribers in the coming month. For December, there is a fan theory suggesting that the game Heavenly Bodies will be among the free bonus games.
It is a new game set to be released on PC, PS4, and PS5, with the release date coinciding with the possible release of the next batch of PS Plus games: December 7. If we do not take into account the MMORPG expansion FFXIV: Endwalker, which does not require PS Plus, it is the only game launching on that day.
In the past, Sony has occasionally made PS5 games available for free on PS Plus immediately at launch. This includes Hell Let Loose, which celebrated its release on consoles in October and became a Plus title right away.
Heavenly Bodies is an indie game where you must navigate in zero gravity and solve puzzles. It’s not as easy as it sounds. You can watch the trailer here:
Among the wishes for PS Plus games, titles like Nier Automata and Crash Bandicoot: It’s About Time were mentioned on YouTube and social media.
By now, Sony has apparently accidentally confirmed the leaks in an official tweet. Here you can find all the information about the new games:
This is the release issue in December: The new PS Plus games are usually announced on the last Wednesday of the month. This month, that would be November 24.
The release of the new Plus games takes place on the first Tuesday of the following month. In December, that will be the 7th. Therefore, there are two possibilities regarding when the Plus games will be announced and released:
Option 1: Announcement of the games on November 24 and release on December 1
Option 2: Announcement of the games on December 1 and release on December 7.
Speculation tends to lean more towards the second option, especially since Heavenly Bodies is celebrating its release on December 7.
Keep in mind that there may be irregularities in both the announcement and the release, and both can be delayed.
More about Sony and PlayStation on MeinMMO can be found here:
These are the games available for PS Plus in November: Currently, you can still grab the following PS Plus games in November. In addition to the usual 3 games, there are 3 additional bonus games for PlayStation VR:
If you have a PS Plus subscription and want to download the games, it’s best to do so by December 1. They will remain in your library even after the subscription expires and can be played if you renew your subscription.

The second season of the Netflix series Arcane based on League of Legends is confirmed. It is currently in production. The first hints about a release and a trailer come directly from Riot.
What’s new? Riot Games and Netflix confirmed the second season of the series Arcane. Co-creators of Arcane, Christian Linke and Alex Yee, say: “We are thrilled with the positive feedback on the first season of Arcane and are working hard with the creative wizards at Riot and Fortiche to deliver the second portion.”
Via Twitter, the CEO of Riot Games, Nicolo Laurent, gives a first hint at a release date for Arcane Season 2. Here, we show you all the information that is already known about the second season of Arcane.
Season 2 of Arcane – Release, Trailer, First Info
Trailer: The new trailer for Season 2 of Arcane “shows” not much, but “tells” a few details. Listen and watch it here:

LoL players might hear a familiar sound in the trailer, which you know from the character Warwick and his ability Blood Hunt. This could be a teaser for one of the characters from Season 2.
Release date for Season 2: On Twitter , Nicolo Laurent, the CEO of Riot Games, writes that they are already working on Season 2. He adds: “The good news is: You do not have to wait 6 years for it (That’s how long Season 1 took us). The bad news: It will not come in 2022 :'(“
This tweet causes many discussions in the LoL community and among fans of Arcane. A few have the hope that Riot secretly worked on Season 2 during the six years and that we might see the first episodes as early as 2021.
However, at this point, it is more likely that Season 2 of Arcane will have a release date in 2023 or 2024.
How did the first season go? Immediately upon the release of Arcane on Netflix, the series celebrated great success. On IMDB, the series ranks with a rating of 9.4 / 10 based on 37,000 ratings (as of November 21 via IMDB). With this rating, Arcane is similarly strong as heavyweight shows:
One Earth – Many Worlds from 2016 with a rating of 9.5
Planet Earth from 2006 with a rating of 9.4
Breaking Bad from 2008 with a rating of 9.4
Band of Brothers from 2001 with a rating of 9.4
Chernobyl from 2019 with a rating of 9.3
Keep in mind that the other series in this top 6 have all already received over 100,000 ratings, and with more ratings, Arcane’s rating can still change.
Call of Duty: Vanguard offers a multiplayer map Gavutu with a camper spot that is very hard to crack. Much to the delight of the camper who always sits there at some point and farms countless kills. But with our tips on MeinMMO, you will bring the camper down from his hunter stand!
What is Gavutu? Gavutu is a small Pacific island and one of the larger maps in multiplayer of Call of Duty: Vanguard. The map consists of a coastal battery, a building complex, a watchtower, and a stranded US landing ship.
What is the problem with the camper? The shipwreck, which has deep-set and seriously damaged itself into the beach, houses one of the worst camper spots in the game.
For the fortified tower at the bow of the ship overlooks large parts of the map and thus provides an ideal location for camping snipers. Who takes cover there is hard to hit and has an open shooting field on large parts of the map – or not?
[toc]
10 ways to ruin the camper’s fun.
This is how you get the camper: Anyone who has played Gavutu has suffered under the camper. But there are several methods to shoot him out of his camper fortress of solitude. The tips come from a video by CoD expert TheXclusiveAce on YouTube.
You can take the camper out from any side.
Anti-camper point 1 – South of the house
Where is it? Directly south of the long house that runs parallel to the ship, you can climb a rise. From there you can see the camper’s head peeking over the roof. If the camper crouches down, you can still see him when you jump. So make a little hop and blast him with a precise rifle!
Anti-camper point 2 – From below through the house!
Where is it? If you go down the ramp south of the long house, you can spot the camper through the opposite holes in the walls with some skill. The chances of him noticing you are quite low. From this position, you can give him a headshot with a fairly precise assault rifle without needing a DMR or sniper rifle.
Also cool: You can also catch campers who are having a party on the deck of the ship.
Anti-camper point 3 – Through the grid in the basement
Where is it? When you enter the basement of the long house, you can see a wire mesh on the right. If you look through here, you can spot the camper in his hiding spot and shoot him with some skill. But be careful not to get caught by campers on the deck of the ship.
Anti-camper point 4 – Over the shelf by the ammunition crates
Where is it? When you enter the upper floor of the long house, you must resist the temptation to shoot the camper through the windows. He has a clear advantage there.
So it’s better to go all the way to the west in the house. There is a wooden shelf with some ammunition crates in front of it. Jump on the crates and peek over the shelf. This way, you can spot the camper who shouldn’t be able to see you.
Anti-camper point 5 – The Death Palm
Where is it? When coming from the east, there is a rise at the foot of which a slanted palm tree grows. Through the bushes there you are perfectly camouflaged, but you can ideally spot the camper and shoot him from a distance.
Anti-camper point 6 – Right next to the artillery position
Where is it? A surprising spot from which you can take out the camper is the artillery position. Stand next to the wall in the south and you have an amazingly clear shooting angle on the camper.
Alternatively, you can also jump on the wall and get an even better angle, but that also exposes you more.
Anti-camper point 7 – Over the red barrels
Where is it? At the artillery position, there are a few red barrels. They are explosive and probably won’t be around for long in the match. But while they are there, you can climb the wall crown and have a good fire angle on the camper.
Anti-camper point 8 – Over the rocks in the north
Where is it? In the north of the map, there is a curved rock. There you can look over the stones by half climbing up a sort of invisible spot. This gives you a good shooting angle on the camper.
Anti-camper point 9 – Over the truck
Where is it? In the northwest of the map, there is a lonely little truck. Jump on its hood and you can peek over the roof of the vehicle and see and shoot the camper.
Anti-camper point 10 – Next to the rocks south of the truck
Where is it? South of the truck is a rock. On its western flank, you can peek along and see the camper well in his hiding place.
So much for the top 10 spots to ruin the fun for the most annoying camper in the game. Do you know any more good counter spots? Then let us know in the comments.

In the shop of Pokémon GO you can find the Sheinux ticket “Flickering, Sparks and Glowing” for the Community Day in November 2021. We show you all the quests and rewards that you receive for the price of about €1 on MeinMMO. This way, you can easily see if the purchase is worth it for you.
What kind of ticket is this? For many months now, you have been able to purchase tickets in the Pokémon GO shop for the monthly Community Days. These are optional and give you additional tasks and rewards in a special research that you can easily complete during the event. The special research remains active even after the Community Day.
In the following overview, we show you the special research for the Community Day with Sheinux, which you can unlock with the ticket.
Where can you get the ticket? If you want to buy it, you can open the Pokémon GO shop. Below the boxes, you will find the category “Worldwide Events”, where you will also see the ticket “Flickering, Sparks and Glowing.” Depending on the shop, the ticket costs about €1 or a little less.
Ticket for Community Day with Sheinux – Research
Where does the information come from? Due to the time difference, the Community Day has already started in some parts of the world. Trainers shared the details of the new special research with the community, and we have compiled all the quests and rewards for you here.

Level reward: If you complete all three tasks and then collect your rewards, you will additionally receive 3,000 Stardust, two Rare Candies, and an encounter with Luxray.
Is the ticket for the Community Day in November 2021 worth it?
What you need to consider: The value of the items you receive as rewards for the quests is higher than the ticket price of €1. Because in the ticket, you receive among other things:
A Rocket Radar that actually costs 200 coins, or about €2
A Star Piece that individually costs 100 coins, or about €1
In addition, you receive 2 silver Razz Berries, 15 Poké Balls, 15 Ultra Balls, and 15 Hyper Balls as well as 5,000 Stardust (minus the dust you need for the power-ups).
So if you are generally interested in these items, you can purchase them at a lower price through the ticket. In this case, the purchase is worth it for you.
If you are not interested in the items and can do without the strong Pokémon in the Pokémon encounters, then the purchase is not really worth it for you.
How do you like this ticket for the Community Day this time? Are you playing for free or are you going for the ticket this time? Let us know here in the comments on MeinMMO.
In Pokémon GO, on Sunday, November 21, 2021, the Community Day with Sheinux takes place. We at MeinMMO have looked at what bonuses, Shinys, and special features you can look forward to on this day. We also tell you how to make the most of the C-Day.
What kind of event is this? Every month, there is a special event day in Pokémon GO: the Community Day. It’s all about a specific Pokémon that spawns more frequently during this time. Additionally, an increased Shiny rate ensures some dazzling encounters.
During the Community Day in November, everything will revolve around the Electric Pokémon Sheinux. You can expect lots of bonuses on this day. Since it is the last C-Day before the Mega Community Day in December, there will be additional bonuses this time.
Community Day in November 2021 – Start time and bonuses
What? The Community Day with Sheinux When? Sunday, November 21, 2021, from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM local time Pokémon of the Day: Sheinux spawns more frequently in the wild during the event Exclusive Attack: Psychobeißer, when you evolve Sheinux into Luxtra within two hours after the event Bonuses: – Incense lasts 3 hours – Lures last 3 hours – Eggs hatch four times faster – 3 times candies for sending – 4 times chance to receive an XL candy when sending – 3 free raid passes at gyms (up to two hours after the event) – 25% less Stardust cost when trading (up to two hours after the event)
On Sunday, you will have 6 full event hours available to catch Sheinux for the Community Day. If you use Incense and Lures during this time, Sheinux will be attracted even more. Playing from home is also possible.
What is available in the in-game shop? The in-game shop also has some special offers for you. You can purchase the following items there:
free event box with 30 Hyperballs
Community Day box with 50 Hyperballs, 4 Incense, 4 Star Pieces, and a Premium Raid Pass for 1,280 PokéCoins
Event ticket for special research “Flicker, Spark, and Glow” with Sheinux for 1 Euro
How to make the most of the Community Day in November
What preparations should you make? As always, you need space in your Pokémon storage to catch the monsters. But be careful: it’s best not to send off the sorted-out Pokémon just yet; hold on to them until the Community Day starts.
This way, you can secure extra candies for the monsters and may also get some XL candies. For better sorting, it’s best to use the tag feature in the game. This will allow you to clean out your monsters before the event, and on C-Day, you only have to send all the Pokémon from that tag.
To do this, just go into your Pokémon storage and click on the “Tag” category. You can create a tag using the plus symbol. By marking the corresponding monsters, you can then assign the respective tag. This will save you a lot of time for the Community Day.
Tags in the Pokémon Storage
In addition to the free spaces in your Pokémon storage, you should definitely stock up on a good supply of balls. You will need these for catching. If you want to play all day, you should have saved at least 350 balls to avoid having to spin a PokéStop or a gym too quickly.
Which items are important for the C-Day?
Sheinux brings you a special event charge attack for its evolution on this day. If you want to have it, Sheinux must be evolved within two hours after the Community Day. For this, you will need corresponding candies.
It’s advisable to use an Incense or a Lure to attract as many specimens as possible. Additionally, using Nanab Berries while catching will double your candies. With the added candy bonus and the increased chance of obtaining XL candies when sending Pokémon, it’s definitely worth catching as many Sheinux as possible.
Additionally, you should take advantage of the egg bonus. Through the current Sinnoh event, you will receive great monsters from 7 km eggs. However, there’s also some rare specimens hidden in the 10 and 12 km eggs that you can hatch much faster this way. It’s worth using multiple incubators at the same time.
Have these items ready
Is the Community Day in November worth it? Shiny and Psychobeißer
How strong will it be: Sheinux belongs to the Electric Pokémon of the 4th generation. It evolves to Luxtra via Luxio. Sheinux and Luxio are not among the strongest monsters in the game. Especially in defense, they are weak.
The final evolution Luxtra, however, can score especially in attack and belongs to the strongest Electric attackers in Pokémon GO. In the PvP league, however, it is not the best candidate according to PvPoke.
With its event attack Psychobeißer, it is also able to weaken the defense of its opponents and is more effective against fighting and poison attackers. In trainer battles, Luxtra deals 40 damage, but only 30 in raids and gym battles.
Is there a shiny Sheinux? Yes, Sheinux can also be obtained in its shiny form in the game. You can recognize it by its golden-yellow body.
Sheinux, Luxio, and Luxtra normal (left) and as shiny (right)
Is the event worth it? The Community Day with Sheinux is worth it for many reasons. If you are looking for a strong Electric attacker for use in raids, you should secure a good specimen on this day. And shiny hunters will also get their fill at this event.
But don’t overlook the bonuses either. With the reduced hatching distance, it’s especially worth hatching larger eggs, like 10 or 12 km eggs. Even with just one incubator, you can hatch several during the event.
And the two candy bonuses for sending Pokémon are also really worth it. If you were planning to sort out monsters anyway, you should better wait until the Community Day to make the most of it.
All trainers who are speculating on a lucky Pokémon or want to trade for a special monster should also do this on Community Day. With the reduced Stardust costs, you can trade very cheaply on this day and save a lot of this valuable resource.
How do you find the bonuses for the Community Day with Sheinux? How do you prepare for this day? And what do you absolutely not want to miss? Share your opinion with us in the comments and exchange ideas with other trainers on this topic.
In the new addon Endwalker for Final Fantasy XIV comes the new 8-player raid Pandaemonium. What it is about and what might happen during the story of the raid, we will tell you in this article.
This is Pandaemonium in FFXIV: With the release of the addon Endwalker on December 7, players can expect a whole series of new content. One of them is the 8-player raid called Pandaemonium, which will come in the “normal” and “epic” difficulty settings.
The release of the normal mode is set for December 21
The release of the epic mode is set for January 4, 2022
With the respective modes, new armor sets will be introduced into the game, which will be available through crafting, new Allagan stones, or tokens from the raid.
The equipment and upgrades from the epic Pandaemonium raid are expected to be the strongest in the game until patch 6.2 (around mid-2022), when the next part of the raid appears and brings new items with it.
In the last developer stream, director Naoki Yoshida showed some examples of the new equipment.
Examples of new armors that will be released together with the raids. The two in the upper left corner are Pandaemonium sets, the rest can be purchased for Allagan stones.
The design of the stone armor is inspired by characters from FFIV. Old FF fans will recognize the summoner Rydia, the healer Rosa, or the ninja Edge in the images.
The previous raids in FFXIV were structured in three tiers with four boss fights each (except for Bahamut), which were released approximately every six months. It is relatively likely that this pattern will also be maintained for Pandaemonium and that players will be able to defeat the first four boss fights of the normal mode on December 21.
A brief glimpse of Pandaemonium was also shown in the developer stream:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiQxkOi-bVE
A brief look at the first level of Pandaemonium was shown in a developer stream with director Naoki Yoshida.
At the same time, Pandaemonium, like the raids before it, will start its own storyline, and this has caused many speculations among FFXIV fans. The reasons for this lie, among other things, in the past of the MMORPG and the Final Fantasy series.
A look into the past reveals something about the future
So it was in previous Final Fantasy: FFXIV is packed with references and allusions from other games in the franchise, and this also includes the new raid Pandaemonium.
The origins of Pandaemonium lie over 30 years in the past in Final Fantasy II. It is the castle of the lord of Hell, which enters the world of humans and releases monsters there.
Boss fight against Mateus in FFII
After the heroes group in FFII defeats the evil emperor Mateus, his soul split into two halves. While the “light” half ascended to heaven, the dark half wandered into Hell. But Mateus was so evil that he became even more powerful there, seized control of Hell, and became the new ruler.
Subsequently, the castle Pandaemonium appeared again in the world of humans, and the heroes of FFII had to fight through the dungeon to put an end to Mateus once and for all. Only when both halves of Mateus’ soul were defeated in Hell and Heaven is the world freed from his existence.
Fun Fact: The original version of FFII did not include a fight against the light side of Mateus. This additional content was included in Dawn of Souls, 20th Anniversary, and the mobile versions.
Why is this relevant for FFXIV? This trip into the past is meant to provide you with a basis for the lore speculations associated with Pandaemonium in FFXIV. The FFXIV version indeed has many connections to the hell castle from FFII.
The parallels do not stop with the name. The first official artwork of the raid features a familiar face for many FFXIV players: the Ascian Lahabrea. Throughout the story of FFXIV, players were able to battle him multiple times until he was defeated by Thordan at the end of Heavensward (3.0).
He forms the connection to FFII, albeit through several corners.
The sigil of Lahabrea is based on the sigil of Mateus from FFII.
The names of all Ascians originally came from FFXII, where they are the adversaries of the evil esper.
Thus, Lahabrea is also the antagonist of the ice esper Mateus,
which in turn is an allusion to the emperor Mateus from FFII.
This way, the developers create an indirect connection between Lahabrea and the lord of Pandaemonium from FFII, just as they have done with other Ascians (for example Mitron / Artemis, who is the FFXIV version of the sorceress Artemisia from FFVIII).
These are the theories: Based on these connections and the official description of the raid, some fans have already started discussing what the story will be about. At the center of these discussions is Lahabrea, as he is featured on the key artwork of the raid.
One fan theory states that the soul of Lahabrea was split by Hydaelyn after the fight in the Praetorium, as splitting is the fundamental effect of her power. This would explain why only one half of Lahabrea’s Ascian sigil is visible on the artwork (via reddit).
The theory also sounds plausible when looking at emperor Mateus from FFII. His soul was also split in two halves, with one of them descending into Pandaemonium.
Another theory suggests that Pandaemonium is a sort of laboratory prison of Lahabrea. This theory was based on the official English description of the raid and the actual work of Lahabrea.
Originally, he was a great scientist who created new and diverse creatures from the ether. But no matter how good he was at his craft, some of his attempts failed. And the raid is supposed to be about these failed creations of Lahabrea, so the theory goes. According to the promo page for the Endwalker addon:
Far beneath the ground upon which mortals tread, steeped in darkness deep as starless night, ancient power lies dormant. Too hungry, too brutal, too monstrous – what cannot be controlled must be contained, here, in Pandæmonium. Dare you make the descent?
Pandaemonium is located deep underground and according to the English description, something is contained there that is “too hungry, too brutal, and too monstrous.” “What cannot be controlled must be contained.” This sounds strongly like imprisoned creatures of Lahabrea to some fans.
It is also theoretically possible that the person in the artwork is not the Lahabrea from the Praetorium and Thordan fights. Throughout the Shadowbringers story, we learn that the names of the Ascians are not names, but titles. If you will.
This means that in the past there were several people who bore the title Lahabrea. Accordingly, one of the fan theories is that players can expect a different Lahabrea in Pandaemonium than the one we know from the FFXIV story (via official forums).

While waiting for Endwalker, there are some things you could take care of:

The cute first-person shooter Gunfire Reborn has left Early Access on Steam and is receiving high praise in the reviews. In this article, we summarize what makes the game so good according to the reviews.
This is Gunfire Reborn: The game is a first-person shooter with a cute comic-style look. The focus of the shooter is on the gameplay. You take on the role of one of the 6 different heroes to slice through hordes of enemies that stand in your way.
Crown Prince – Available from the start and specializes in elemental attacks
Ao Bai – His specialty is his weapons and explosions
Qing Yan – is more of a melee fighter with shotguns
Lei Luo – he deals high damage with sniper rifles and critical hits
Tao – is a heroine who benefits from weapons with very high fire rates
Qian Sui – he is a sort of tank character who quickly takes out enemies in close combat
Each hero can also be upgraded in the talent tree with new skills. In addition to common abilities that all heroes can have, there are also specific ones that only the respective hero can unlock.
You can play Gunfire Reborn alone or in co-op with up to 4 players in mostly randomly generated levels, as it is a “rogue-lite” game. Each play session therefore differs from the others.
The randomness aspect also extends to weapons and items, of which there are over 100 in the shooter. They receive random affixes in each new run, as known from games like Borderlands. Their locations also differ in each run.
Combined with the talents of the heroes, you can create different builds for each run that fit your playstyle and are the most fun for you. For fans of challenges, there are also multiple difficulty levels.
You can check out multiplayer gameplay in the video below:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcLkXXyLNUI
“Just one more run… then I’ll go to bed…”
Gunfire Reborn left Early Access on November 18 and has collected 53,665 reviews on Steam as of now (November 20, 2021), of which 46,578 are positive. Thus, it receives an “extremely positive” rating of 94%. We at MeinMMO recommended it among our games for September.
This is what the Steam reviews say: In the reviews on Steam, enthusiastic players particularly praise the gameplay and the rogue-lite aspect of the shooter. It’s described as “simple fun” and the entire package is very cohesive:
The movement feels good
Very few bugs and glitches
A large selection of weapons and affixes for the weapons (at this point, the game is often compared to Borderlands)
Items are interesting and useful
The progression system is permanent and prepares you for higher difficulties
The stylized graphics are very cute
Above all, however, the gameplay loop, which is extremely important in rogue-like and rogue-lite games, is very satisfying and addictive. A run takes about 45 to 60 minutes and ends with a boss fight, during which you collect weapons, items, and EXP for your talents.
Accordingly, some reviewers, like CjuGames, commented that they have to force themselves to turn off the game. Other players praise it for its variety and for how much fun experimenting with different builds is:
It is one of the most underrated games on Steam. If you like rogue-like games and the style of Borderlands, then you will enjoy this game. […] At first, you feel very weak, but you quickly learn how to become OP […]. It’s fun to learn more about the game and experiment, as there is no defined “best” item. There are very few weapons in the game that are not useful, and even they only need the right combination of affixes to become strong.
Steam user Chaz Hands
This review should have been written a long time ago. I had an insane amount of fun with this title. […] No weapon feels like any other, and the game is remarkably polished, which is impressive considering it’s an Early Access game. The upgrade system works very well, and you will get torn apart at first […].
Additionally, the developers at 505 Games responded well and quickly to player feedback during Early Access and continually released new updates. User megarust wrote in his review:
The developers respond quickly. On the day it was released, I wrote that the “Field of View” was too small (I use an ultra-wide screen). They replied to me the same day and said there would be a patch that fixes it. Three days later, the patch was released […].
What’s next: After the official release of Gunfire Reborn, the developers at 505 Games announced that the game will also be released on consoles.

If you are looking for more co-op games, we have a great top 25 for you:
Battlefield 2042 is an intense game for nearly every PC. Accordingly, it is even more important to know what performance you have. MeinMMO shows you how to see your FPS in Battlefield 2042.
Especially for PC players, FPS (Frames per Second) is an important metric to know how well your game is running. We present 3 methods to display your FPS.
Depending on whether you own the game on Origin or Steam. If you want to see the FPS independently of Steam or Origin, we also explain a method that we do not recommend. All these methods work regardless of whether you are using Windows 10 or Windows 11.
This method is only relevant for players who own Battlefield 2042 on Origin.
How to display your FPS:
Click the small arrow next to your name in the bottom left of Origin.
Press application settings.
In the top tab, select ‘Origin In-Game’.
Choose where you want your FPS displayed in the screen corner under the option “Display FPS counter”.
Here you can find the option to display your FPS through Origin.
You will now see the FPS in every Origin game in the selected corner.
How do I turn off the FPS display? If you want to turn off the display, follow the same steps as above. Under “Display FPS counter” this time choose the option “Do Not Show”.
About Steam:
This method is only relevant for players who own Battlefield 2042 on Steam.
How to display your FPS:
Click on ‘Steam’ in the upper left corner in Steam and then on ‘Settings’.
Select ‘In-Game’ from the options on the left.
Under “In-Game FPS Counter”, select where you want your FPS displayed in the screen corner.
After making a selection, click ‘Okay’.
Here you can find the option to display your FPS through Steam.
You will now see the FPS in every Steam game in the selected corner.
How do I turn off the FPS display? If you want to turn off the display, follow the same steps as above. Under “In-Game FPS Counter”, this time choose the option “Off”.
Display FPS in-game through the console (not recommended):
If you want to display your FPS directly in the game, you can use a console command. However, we do not recommend this method because it displays separate FPS values for the graphics card and processor. Therefore, it is difficult to get accurate information at a glance.
How to display your FPS:
Press the ‘^’ key on the keyboard in the game (on most keyboards next to the 1 key). This opens the console.
Type the following console command into the console:
PerfOverlay.DrawFps 1
Press Enter to confirm the selection.
Press the ‘^’ key again to close the console.
With the console command in the top left, you activate the FPS display in the game
How do I turn off the FPS display? If you want to remove the display, follow the same steps, but replace the 1 in the console command with a 0. So type into the console:
In Fortnite, since patch 18.40, Naruto and Team 7 are now in the Item Shop. On this occasion, Epic brings 6 free items to Fortnite that you can earn until November 22nd by going on your path as a ninja. We at MeinMMO will show you what you need to do.
What kind of event is this? Since the beginning of Season 8, many players have been eagerly awaiting and hoping for the collaboration with Naruto to finally come to the game. They wanted to own the skins from the anime series “Naruto,” which have been circulating as leaks for some time.
Since the Update 18.40 on Tuesday, all Naruto items are available in the Item Shop.
Epic added another event so you can secure free Naruto-themed items. Anyone can earn these items; only a few preparations are necessary, which we will explain to you here.
Update November 21: The entire Team 7 is involved this time and gives you the task to place at least 6th in Battle Royale in team mode. You will earn 1 point for every match that achieves this placement. This time you need 2 points to earn all your missed emoticons. If you want to complete the daily milestone and treat yourself to the glider “Kurama,” you need to survive a total of 12 matches in which you and your team placed at least 6th.
6 Items related to Naruto, including a fast glider
The items in this event are all related to Naruto. They are mostly stickers that you can use during battle.
Cheerful Naruto
Sobbing Sakura
Angry Sasuke
Shocked Kakashi
Kurama – The nine-tailed Bijuu
Shinobi Teamwork – Loading Screen
These are all the rewards from the Nindo event
These items are available:
Cheerful Naruto – Emoticon
Sobbing Sakura – Emoticon
Angry Sasuke – Emoticon
Shocked Kakashi – Emoticon
Kurama – Glider
Shinobi Teamwork – Loading Screen
How do I get them? You need to log in with your active Epic account on the Nindo Event page. There, you link your Epic account and can start right away.
Event runs only until November 22
When does the event end? The event started on November 17 at 10 AM and ends on November 22 at 5:59 AM. So hurry up, there isn’t much time left.
How does this event work? After registering, you will be taken to the Nindo website of Epic Games. There, every skin from the Naruto collaboration will be displayed to you.
On November 17, Naruto is your quest giver
On November 18, it’s Sakura’s turn
On November 19, Sasuke will take his turn
On November 20, Kakashi is up
On November 21, all skins will provide you with a joint task
Each day, there will be a new task that won’t be displayed in the game but is active. After registration, you do not need to interact further with the Nindo Event page, but you can check your score and progress there.
The tasks are random and will only reveal themselves on the release date of the respective skin.
On November 18, you need to deal 100 HP damage to your opponents for Sakura
After successfully completing this condition, you will earn 1 point
You can accumulate multiple points if you continue to deplete opponents’ HP
Daily milestones and missed items
How do I get Kurama? You will receive the glider and the loading screen if you complete one of the daily milestones. These milestones require more effort to accomplish.
In addition to the task of each skin, a daily milestone is also active
This requires more points, but you will also receive a bigger reward
If you, for example, manage to collect 100 points for Sakura on November 18, you will receive the normally paid glider as a free gift
For this, you need to either eliminate 100 players without shields or 50 players equipped with shields
Once that’s completed, you will automatically receive the glider and the loading screen as a participant in the event
If you already have these but purchased them, Epic Games will reimburse you 1,200 V-bucks
What do I do if I missed some days? Fortnite still gives you the chance to grab missed items. Starting from November 22, you only need to collect 2 points. How you obtain these points varies daily. You can check your tasks at any time on the page where you registered.
What do you think of this action? Will you treat yourself to all the emoticons and even the legendary nine-tailed fox? Let us know in the comments what you think.

You want to earn a lot of money in GTA Online with contact missions? We show you the missions with the highest payout, with which you can best fill your accounts.
What are missions? In GTA Online, you can play various missions through contacts like Lester or Martin. These are scenarios with a clear goal, which reward you with GTA dollars and RP upon completion. A good way to earn more money besides heists or CEO work.
Some contact missions only work with multiple players, others also as a solo player. In this overview, we show you the missions that currently bring in the most money and are worth the effort. So we do not simply list the highest-paying ones if the reward does not match the effort. Keep in mind that not all missions are available for beginners, as some missions are unlocked as your player level increases.
Note: Each contact mission has a base payout, that is, a basic payment. The more time you take to complete the mission, the higher the payout (up to a certain cap). Missions that take longer than 16 minutes reward you with 100%. Missions that last between 12 and 15 minutes only reward 90%. We show you the “16-minute-to” values for the corresponding missions, so if you maximize the mission time, you’ll see those. Also, the payment depends on the difficulty between “Easy” and “Hard”. The order of the listed missions does not matter – all 5 missions are good. Find out for yourself which ones work best for you personally and are fun.
1. Diamonds are for Trevor
Which contact? Trevor Philips
How good is the payout? Up to 22,200 GTA dollars.
How many players? 1 to 4 players.
What happens there? As players, you must travel to Paleto Bay, as diamonds are being transported there. But be careful, as heavily armed personnel from Merryweather protects the rocks. Once you grab the diamonds, you should escape by boat. On the way back, more Merryweather members visit you with inflatables and a helicopter. Some enemies are also waiting on land.

How good is the payout? 23,100 GTA dollars in Part IV, 19,200 GTA dollars in Part II.
How many players? 1-4 in Part IV, 1-2 in Part II.
What happens in Part IV? The contact missions from Simeon are usually repo missions, as you already know from the start of the single player campaign in GTA 5. Steal the cars that Simeon wants and occasionally blow something up. In Part IV, you need to break into a large warehouse and destroy 10 cars there. In the basement of the warehouse, you should destroy more vehicles.
Once that is done, you should leave the hall and fend off nasty opponents outside. Once you’ve pushed the enemies back far enough, you should leave the zone. As a solo player, this can be quite difficult, which is why we also list Blow Up II here.

What happens in Part II? In this mission, Simeon explains to you that someone has stolen his yellow Banshee. You then need to drive to Downtown Vinewood and destroy all the thief’s vehicles in a parking lot. Of course, with the exception of the yellow Banshee. After you lose your 3-star wanted level, you should return the yellow Banshee to Simeon. As a solo player, the mission is quite easy.

At the second spot, you have to take out many enemies again. They come in waves with cars for a few minutes. Then collect the money from the chest and hack the laptop once you’ve taken out all enemies. Now you will receive the target point for the last drop on your map.
Now drive to the airport and blow up the white jet that stands in front of the large warehouse you are to enter first. Then take out all the enemies in the warehouse and place sticky bombs on the vans and planes in the hangar. Only then head to the upper level and collect the shipment. Now detonate the bombs, grab a heli outside, and fly to Martin’s house to complete the mission.

Who is this worth it for? With these missions, you can specifically earn a lot of money in GTA Online while having a manageable effort. However, this is more meant for earning money “in between” when you do not feel like heists or other jobs in GTA Online.
One of the most promoted features of Battlefield 2042 is the matches with up to 128 players. Now players have discovered statements from a former developer: The feature was apparently already a topic 8 years ago with Battlefield 3 and was discarded.
With the release of Battlefield 2042, fans are lively discussing the game. Not every player likes one of the biggest innovations of the shooter: On PC, Xbox Series, and PS5, up to 128 players can compete against each other in an All-Out Warfare match.
Now they have unearthed statements from former DICE chief Patrick Söderlund made before the release of Battlefield 3 in 2013.
Back then, they apparently experimented with 128 players, but the developers were probably not convinced.
Former DICE employees speak out
What was said back then? The then DICE chief explained that the team for Battlefield 3 had already made “extensive investigations” with 128-player matches.
The result, however, was not satisfactory; 128-player matches simply weren’t fun:
“Many people asked us about [matches with] 64 versus 128 or 256 players. Technically, we could go up to 256, we tried it,” Söderlund said back then.
“We tested 128 players. You have to make a game that is fun to play, and we think the most fun you can have is when between 32 and 40 players compete against each other.”
He further stated back then: “We did extensive investigations and tested 128 players, and it’s not fun. […] we just believe that it doesn’t make sense to go higher than 64 [players].”
These statements are 8 years old, but are reaffirmed by several former DICE employees. For instance, former multiplayer designer David Sirland and former Battlefield producer Jaqub Ajmal commented on the topic:
David Sirland (via Twitter): “I personally always believed that 48 players at 64-player layouts is the ideal point.”
Jaqub Ajmal (via Twitter): “I agree 100%. Also, vehicles should be directly on the map and limited, not this ridiculous menu-spawning. […]”
Both left DICE after the rocky release of Battlefield V. Apparently, the new management reconsidered and brought back the 128 players to the table.

Everything you need to know about the new Battlefield 2042 – in 2 minutes
Players increasingly criticize the large number
How players are reacting: With the release, more and more players express doubts about the supposedly cool feature of 128 players per match.
Many find it too chaotic with so many players on a map, which supports the decision that DICE made back then with Battlefield 3 and all subsequent installments up to Battlefield 2042.
The vehicle spawning is also viewed very critically, as it is now actively used to rush directly to the enemy base at the beginning of a match with the jet and take out players who have just landed.
Many also see the too large maps as a problem. For example, moonski states: “64 players would also be horrible if the new maps are too large.” (via reddit)
OJ191 sees the balancing as the key, which is more crucial than the number of players: “I think in a hypothetical world with perfect game and map design, 128 or 64 players would be largely irrelevant, as the design and player density required for fun would remain similar, barring some exceptions. Unless you reshape the core gameplay to promote massive 64-v-64 battles.” (via reddit)
Ultimately, it’s still too early to say whether 128 players are too many or not. But what do you think? Do you have a problem with the high player counts? Or do you think it’s good that larger battles are finally possible?
WoW streamer Preach has completed the story of the Heavensward expansion of Final Fantasy XIV and calls it one of the best stories he has ever experienced in gaming.
The situation in brief:
Preach is a streamer and YouTuber who rose to fame primarily through the MMORPG World of Warcraft. He is a long-time fan who has also checked out other games like New World and FFXIV in recent months.
Originally, Preach had no interest in FFXIV, as he found many aspects of the colorful MMORPG silly and stupid, including Moogles and the Lalafell people.
In the end, Preach got into the game, and in his latest video about the Heavensward expansion, he showers the story of FFXIV with praise. It is the second game ever to make him cry.
Warning: The article may contain spoilers for the story of FFXIV
“That was simply incredible.”
This is what Preach says: In his latest video about FFXIV, the streamer ranks the Heavensward expansion as number 2 on his list of the best video game stories ever. It is only surpassed by the co-op RPG Divinity: Original Sin 2. You can find Divinity on our list of the best co-op games of 2021.
The story of Heavensward, which revolves around the 1,000-year-long war between the nation of Ishgard and the dragons, touched Preach so much that he ended up in tears. Something that had only happened to him with one other game so far, according to the streamer.
During the stream, he could hardly find the words:
That was incredible. It was so well done; the whole thing is so well done. It was not even remotely silly. That surprised me. I really expected Moogles to fly in or some anime nonsense, but they [the developers] treated it with absolute respect. It was really good. […]
However, the streamer is primarily impressed by how well thought-out and planned the story of Heavensward was. Over and over, Preach emphasizes in the video that it is very important to let a game’s story “breathe.”
A story needs time to establish the setting and characters to provide reasons for why one should care about these characters.
He compares the pacing of the storytelling of the MMORPG to the movies of the Marvel universe. To build up to the grand finale of Avengers: Endgame properly, Marvel took their time beforehand to develop the individual characters.
And that is exactly what FFXIV does, according to Preach. It begins already in the base game “A Realm Reborn,” at the end of which several extremely important plot points are established, which the story picks up later. Main characters of Heavensward like Aymeric, Lady Iceheart, and the Dragoon Estinien are also established in the base game and are given enough time and focus to develop. And every character is important in their own way.
[…] All characters who are merely side attractions play a crucial role in the one big moment. And that one moment needs such a roller coaster ride to get there that it seems incredible that all of this [the plot] was so clearly planned and paced over several patches. […]
However, there is this criticism: While Preach is enthusiastic about the story of the MMORPG, he is less kind about the gameplay. In the video about his first impressions, he described it as trash and is still not really convinced by it.
In his opinion, the best gameplay is still that of WoW. It remains one of his absolute favorite games, even though the news around WoW is currently not so good.
According to Preach, Final Fantasy XIV is slowly getting better. As he levels up, he now gains access to new skills, and his expectation is that he might really enjoy the combat system of FFXIV in later expansions.
What’s behind this: Streamers like Preach, Pyromancer, and Asmongold go into FFXIV with the expectation that it is a “childish, silly Japanese RPG” that does not take itself seriously. Often, the term “Weeb Shit” is used in their streams. Weeb is a derogatory term for people who are huge fans of Japanese pop culture.
The expectation of these streamers is therefore that they will be overwhelmed with silly anime clichés in FFXIV as well. Accordingly, they are greatly surprised when they find out that this is not the case. While the MMORPG does not take itself seriously in many areas, it has many very dark elements and areas that particularly come to light in the stories.
The story writing in Heavensward is also highly regarded in the FFXIV community for its moral questions and tragic twists. The combination of the streamers’ low expectations with the high-quality story of Heavensward results in enthusiasm and praise.

Final Fantasy XIV makes its players cry
These streamers have cried too: Preach is by far not the only one who was able to evoke one or another tear with Heavensward. Former WoW lore YouTuber Pyromancer was also deeply moved by the emotional impact of the ending and called it a masterpiece (via YouTube). For him, FFXIV feels like therapy.
The streamer snackyyz joins him in the long line of players who had to cry because of FFXIV.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4IA_87WiGo
Based on their experiences, many FFXIV veterans expect that the upcoming expansion Endwalker will also make them use several boxes of tissues while playing. After all, the expansion will be the grand finale that concludes an 11-year story.
Many expect new character deaths or other tragic events that will make them cry. And director Yoshida has already warned that many characters are “not as safe as fans might think.”
In the new Patch 9.2 for WoW (World of Warcraft), new class-specific tier sets are making a return after a long time. However, the appearance of the Warlock set reminds players of the “Ku-Klux-Klan” robes with its hood. The community brought this to Blizzard’s attention, and they said: We overlooked this, we will change it.
What does Blizzard say? On Twitter, Blizzard’s developers write that they agree with the community. From certain angles, the new Warlock set looks like something other than a WoW set. Therefore, they want to redesign the set before the release of Patch 9.2 and showcase the new version on the test servers.
In the community, the set’s appearance sparked heated discussions.
Community: From behind, it looks like it’s from the “Ku-Klux-Klan”
This is what the players say: Dataminers have already previewed the appearance of the new WoW sets from Patch 9.2. On reddit, players are commenting on these PTR screenshots, saying that the appearance is not well-chosen. User GlitchAesthetic shares images of the set and writes, “From behind, it looks more like a Grand Wizard.” The Grand Wizard is the highest position in the hierarchy of the “Ku-Klux-Klan”.

Lexstrasza writes on Twitter: “No chance that players won’t exploit this. I hope they work on it again and change the shape or the color. Just something!”
In response, justaharbourkid commented on Twitter: “I was already very unhappy with the tier set for Warlocks (just like that of the Demon Hunters), but now that I’ve noticed this, I definitely won’t use it!”
However, the Warcraft developers’ account also responded with a tweet, stating that they will change the set. It reads: “We hear you and agree. We overlooked this because we did not examine the set from all angles before including it in the first test build. We have already begun to adjust the set, and you will see changes in one of the next builds of the Eternity’s End PTR.”

The reactions to the tweet are mostly positive. Players thank Blizzard for quickly addressing the problem and implementing changes. However, some also question how such a mistake could happen and whether Blizzard had not reviewed the set beforehand.
Player gr33nzo commented under the tweet: “Thank you for the quick response and for agreeing! This is what players love to see. Oversights happen, what matters is how you fix them. Thank you!”
However, the new patch has much more in store than just a few sets. As the final update for Shadowlands, you can expect a new area and, of course, a raid.
Especially in light of Blizzard’s recent actions, where they removed in-game content that could potentially be problematic, it is probably better to quickly resolve issues like the appearance of the set.
The developers are currently very keen on removing content with suggestive jokes or graphics, as well as dialogues.
Leveling in Battlefield 2042 can be very slow. A small throwable can help: The environment sensor not only brings you a lot of XP but also assists the whole team. MyMMO will tell you how to use the sensor optimally.
To level up in Battlefield 2042, it usually takes 2 matches. However, a match lasts at least 30 minutes. Consequently, it can be slow to unlock the best weapons in the game.
That’s where the environment sensor comes into play. You unlock it at level 22 – a process that is faster with other XP farming methods. Once you have the environment sensor, you level up even faster than before. Because you can also combine it with the other farming methods.
The best part: The environment sensor is easy to use and becomes more effective the more action occurs. The function of the sensor is also extremely helpful for your team and will directly help you win more matches.
The strongest loadout with the environment sensor
The biggest downside of the environment sensor is that it replaces your grenade slot. This loadout not only helps you bypass this disadvantage – it makes you one of the most versatile soldiers on the battlefield:
Specialist: Sundance
Primary weapon: PP-29
Secondary weapon: G57
Throwable: Environment sensor
Gadget: Ammo crate
The environment sensor is not only good for XP
Why is this loadout so good? Thanks to the gadget, Sundance is the perfect specialist choice. The grenade belt not only replaces the anti-personnel grenade that you must give up because of the environment sensor – it can also be used for anti-tank purposes and as an EMP field.
This allows you to defend against all vehicles and other specialist gadgets. Since the charges of the grenade belt refresh themselves, you will always stay in action.
This versatility is emphasized by the PP-29. It is the currently best submachine gun and the most flexible weapon in the game. Accordingly, it can be effectively used in any situation. This also makes it easier to use Sundance’s wingsuit very aggressively.
Then you can either actively participate in the battle yourself, or play a bit more passively and throw more environment sensors with the ammo crate. Since the sensor works even after your death, you have contributed to the team in any case.
This is not just an XP rain for you. Your team thanks you because they can occupy and defend positions better with the information on the minimap. This leads to fun, action-packed gameplay. And to more matches won.
Have you already tried this loadout? Do you enjoy the playstyle? And what weapon do you definitely want to unlock? Let us know in the comments.
Thanks to the ammo crate, you will continuously receive a new environment sensor. Your ammunition will also be refreshed. This way, you never have to pull back from the action.
The environment sensor is fun, helps the team and you
What makes the loadout so good? The loadout with the environment sensor excels for several reasons:
You receive an assist for every enemy killed within the radius of the environment sensor. Each assist gives you as much XP as a kill – even if you haven’t seen the enemy yourself.
With this method, it is not uncommon to have more assists alone than entire squads combined. This way, you level up very quickly.
Pro
Thanks to Sundance, you are flexibly strong against enemy soldiers, vehicles, and gadgets.
Aggressive gameplay is possible and recommended.
The sensor marks enemies within a radius on your entire team’s minimap.
You have two environment sensors available. This way, you can mark most enemies comprehensively, even in the largest control points.
The ammo crate immediately gives you back a consumed environment sensor.
You get 5 XP for every enemy that gets marked.
Every marked enemy that gets killed by your team counts as an assist. This gives you 50 XP each.
You get 50 XP for every enemy you kill yourself.
The environment sensor continues to mark after your death.
After several markings and assists, you receive 1,000 XP as a reward.
Contra
The motion sensor replaces the grenade.
Without Sundance, your options in combat are limited.
The ammo crate is not a must but makes the loadout much better.
With Sundance and the ammo crate, you cannot heal yourself.
PP-29 is not the strongest weapon for distance.
The loadout loses effectiveness if you are not in the thick of the action.
Other loadouts are stronger against vehicles.
The motion sensor is only available from level 22.
How to use the environment sensor optimally? Because the environment sensor provides the most XP and information when the action is highest, you should always stay in the battle.
So always try to be at the most contested points of the map. Throw your two environment sensors in such a way that they cover as large an area as possible.
Then you can either actively participate in the battle yourself, or play a bit more passively and throw more environment sensors with the ammo crate. Since the sensor works even after your death, you have contributed to the team in any case.
This is not just an XP rain for you. Your team thanks you because they can occupy and defend positions better with the information on the minimap. This leads to fun, action-packed gameplay. And to more matches won.
Have you already tried this loadout? Do you enjoy the playstyle? And what weapon do you definitely want to unlock? Let us know in the comments.
In Fortnite, Chapter 2 will soon be replaced by a new chapter. Since Season 8 offered a grand variety of changes, we will show you a specific feature that Epic should definitely carry over to Chapter 3.
What feature are we talking about? It is about the new XP system that was established in Season 8. However, this system already existed in a modified form at the beginning of Chapter 2, but only on the fringes.
It revolves around the stamp cards: A business card that you can complete by fulfilling missions. This system was introduced in Season 1.
You could fill your daily stamp card with achievements like “Submachine Gun Expert.” For that, there was a small XP boost that benefited you.
Now, Epic has completely overhauled the quest system and assigned each NPC on the map a stamp card. As a result, there are no more regular quests, but you must go to each NPC and complete their five tasks. Why this system should remain and not be replaced or altered again will be explained here.
Uncompleted Battle Passes are a thing of the past
If you actively play Fortnite, you should have noticed a change. Epic has truly responded to the community’s cries and delivered something that is worth looking at.
Why should this feature stay? This system offers more advantages compared to the previous quest model:
You can mark the NPCs on the map using the stamp card menu
Clear overview of the quests
Consistent XP and in a large amount
Repeatable quests that also provide you with a small XP boost
Daily and weekly stamp cards ensure a massive XP boost
What is different now? Epic promised more XP and less grind. However, this was not adhered to at the beginning of Chapter 2. Many seasons followed in which it was difficult to even reach level 100 of the Battle Pass. Unlocking the additional styles of the skins was like a nightmare.
Season 8 – Old Stamp Card Model
Season 8 – Revised Stamp Card Model
This is Fortnite’s new XP system
With the new system, however, players are virtually overwhelmed with level-ups. But it appears in such a measure that doesn’t seem exaggerated. So you don’t have to worry about not reaching a milestone with the newly introduced feature.
Epic may want to shift the focus to relaxed gaming in the known mode. So you should not be concerned about scraping the last bit of XP to somewhat complete your Battle Pass. It should simply happen on the side while the fun is the main focus.
Was the system already good since the beginning of Season 8? Season 8 had a rocky start. The community expressed their discontent about many things. One of them was the XP system. Many players disappeared into the depths of the Fortnite version of ‘Among Us’. In this mode, players could earn a lot of XP without much effort. Epic Games noticed this and decided to take action.
They cut off this method by implementing an “AFK detection system” that notices AFK XP farming. As a result, experience points were capped, and this method was no longer profitable. In return, however, they changed the stamp cards. These now awarded the same amount of experience at each level, rather than more than the previous level, and at an increased value.
The repeatable quests initially only gave Gold. Now you receive experience points for completing them. Thus, it is even more worthwhile to complete quests you’ve already finished.
What do you think of the system? Was it a successful change that pays off for you, or do you prefer the old system? Let us know in the comments what you think.

On Black Friday, various products for gamers are on offer from Amazon, MediaMarkt, and other vendors. This time, the Razer Basilisk Ultimate is included. For MeinMMO author Benedikt Schlotmann, Razer’s top model is one of the best deals on Black Friday 2021.Because for around 100 euros you get a really good gaming mouse with many features.
Many users who want to game on their computer play with a gaming mouse. And this device often accompanies you for years in everyday life.
When I buy a gaming mouse, at least three things must be met:
The mouse offers good ergonomics and feels secure in the hand
The device provides me with the right features and buttons for my genre
The gaming mouse is well-made and doesn’t creak with every movement
Optionally, I also appreciate comparatively heavy gaming mice, as I prefer to have some weight under my fingers rather than not feeling the mouse at all.
When buying, I, like many other gamers, look for good deals, as I like to save a few euros, and I’m rarely willing to spend significantly more than 100 euros for a gaming mouse or keyboard.
For this reason, the price of the Razer Basilisk Ultimate is a really great deal for me. Because unlike many other offers, here you get a really good gaming mouse with many useful features for almost 100 euros.
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
You can get the Basilisk Ultimate for just 100 euros and that is a top offer
That’s why the mouse is such a good offer: For around 100 euros, you currently get one of the best gaming mice that Razer has in its range if you prefer a wireless option.
Because in addition to the excellent sensor, I am especially convinced by the high-quality build of the Basilisk Ultimate. Moreover, the mouse offers plenty of buttons that you can configure and set via the software. Thanks to integrated memory, you can always take your profiles with you.
If you game like I do with first-person shooters like Apex Legend, then the sniper button is also very helpful. With the sniper button, you can temporarily lower the DPI when pressed, allowing you to aim better. The sniper button can also be removed on the Basilisk Ultimate. In the newly presented Basilisk V3, the button is now permanently installed.
Razer uses its proprietary Hyperspeed technology in the Basilisk Ultimate. This is a wireless standard that the manufacturer uses in some of its mice (Basilisk X Hyperspeed and the Ultimate models of the Basilisk and Viper).
I can assure you here that you will notice no differences between the Basilisk Ultimate and a wired mouse, and it is on the same level as Logitech with its Lightspeed standard.
What weaknesses does the mouse have? If you have ever gamed with Razer peripherals, you will either love them or hate them: Razer’s software “Synapse” is cumbersome, confusing, and definitely a matter of taste.
I personally do not like it because I find the software too cumbersome and it offers me too many functions that I hardly ever use in everyday life.
In direct comparison to the G502 Hero, you also cannot change the weight of the Basilisk Ultimate since no additional weights are included. Personally, I am someone who barely used this feature even on the G502 Hero, so I do not miss it on the Basilisk Ultimate.
With the Logitech G502 Hero, you can change the weight compared to the Razer Basilisk Ultimate.
What is the current price? Normally you would get the Basilisk Ultimate with docking station for 190 euros, but you can usually find the mouse for around 130 euros, with a few exceptions.
Currently, on Amazon and MediaMarkt, you can get the gaming mouse for just under 100 euros. So you save about half of the normal price and about 25% based on the previous market price. And that is a really good deal since you would usually pay 30 euros more for the mouse.

There are only a few good alternatives to the Basilisk Ultimate
The strongest competitor for the Basilisk Ultimate remains the Logitech G 502 Hero Lightspeed. The Logitech G502 Hero Lightspeed is available on Amazon* currently for about 100 euros. During Prime Day, you could even get the mouse for around 70 euros, so you would not get the G502 Hero Lightspeed here at the best price, unlike the Basilisk Ultimate.
With the SteelSeries Rival 5, you also get a strong gaming mouse, which is, however, significantly lighter compared to the Basilisk and the G502. However, the ergonomics of the Rival 5 are somewhat unusual, as the sniper button is hard to reach. The SteelSeries Rival 5 is now available on Amazon* for about 50 euros thanks to Prime Day.

Battlefield 2042 Update fixes hovercrafts and redeploy bug
What we know about the upcoming update: The developers have mentioned five specific points that will be addressed in the next patch.
These include:
The redeploy bug will be fixed.
The UAV-1 vehicle will return to the game. It was previously removed from the Portal mode for balancing reasons.
Issues with missing loadouts will be fixed.
The LCAA hovercraft will be nerfed while the MD540 Nightbird helicopter will also be overhauled.
The armor and armament of the hovercrafts will be weakened.
The weapons of the Nightbirds will also be weakened.
Especially the redeploy bug and the changes to the hovercrafts are likely to be important for players.
Why is this so important for players? The redeploy bug caused two annoying problems: Players could not be revived by their teammates under certain circumstances.
This is a significant factor in the heat of battle and incredibly frustrating for medics and fallen players. Additionally, some players could not even respawn due to the bug, preventing them from getting back to the battlefield after dying. Players use a trick to alert others to the bug.
What else is in the patch? We currently do not know. These may be the only changes.
There is a long list of other issues that developers at DICE need to address. Specifically, the spread with assault rifles is a concern for many players.
However, it is quite possible that further fixes are in the works that will make it into the update. Unfortunately, we will have to wait for more information.
In Pokémon GO, a huge Community Day takes place in December, which will also feature Feelinara with a special move as the highlight. However, there is a problem with the move if you don’t prepare in advance.
What is the issue? The Community Day in December 2021 for Pokémon GO was recently announced by Niantic. All Pokémon from the C-Day events of 2021 and 2020 will play a role. Among other things, you can teach the Pokémon the moves that were exclusively intended for their C-Days.
However, evolving to Feelinara will not be as easy as last time. Trainers have found this out and discuss that you should start preparing now if you want to evolve strong Feelinara with Psychic Shock.
70 Hearts for Feelinara – Start now
What is the problem? On Twitter, the account GOStadiumPvP writes an information to all Pokémon GO players. “Feelinara will not have reduced buddy heart requirements. We recommend that you start working on this now.” This is an official information that the account received directly from Niantic.
The message conveys that you need to earn 70 hearts with Eevee as your buddy to evolve Eevee into Feelinara. However, this is impossible in one day.
During the Community Day with Eevee in August, Niantic solved the problem by reducing the requirement from 70 hearts to 7 hearts. This allowed all trainers to catch strong Eevee during the Community Day and then evolve them to Feelinara during the event, so that the Pokémon learns Psychic Shock.
In summary:
In December 2021, Eevee will appear as an event Pokémon on the second day (Sunday, December 19)
You need to evolve Eevee by Monday (December 20) for Feelinara to learn the charged move Psychic Shock
It is impossible to earn 70 hearts with an Eevee by Monday if you caught it on Sunday
Therefore, you should already choose strong Eevee as buddy Pokémon and earn hearts with them so that you have enough of them with 70 hearts by December 20
Keep in mind that you can also develop Feelinara differently once:
What trainers are saying: In the community on reddit, Niantic’s decision not to reduce the heart requirement is a big topic. Players find it “stupid,” but also explain that there is still enough time to earn the hearts.
“Partially, it goes against the point of allowing us to develop Psychic Shock if the heart requirement is not changed,” writes Nesabethan on reddit.
“24 hearts and a few more through buddy gifts is the maximum we can earn per day. Eevee will appear on Sunday and the availability for the move ends on Monday. We need 70 hearts, so it is impossible to get Psychic Shock with the Eevee we catch during the event. And this is the first Eevee event since the last Community Day. So, most of the Eevee captures that we haven’t taught the move to will come from the event. It would be the first Community Day event where they give us the move, but we can’t teach it to the Pokémon we caught that day.”
Scirsin explains how you can prepare your Eevee now: “[…] If you want to be straightforward, just feed it [the Eevee] three times a day and take an AR screenshot once instead of a quick snack. If you start from 0, you only need 17.5 days for that.”
Did you hope that Niantic would change the requirements for Feelinara for the Community Day in December, or is that Pokémon not very important to you, and you can do without Feelinara with Psychic Shock? Let us know your opinion on this here in the comments on MeinMMO.
Now the Community Day with Sheinux in November is just around the corner. We show you everything you need to know about the event in the linked guide and how to be well prepared.
