In Pokémon GO you can now challenge the legendary Pokémon Vesprit in Europe. We show you the best counters and all other information.
Where can you find Vesprit? The Pokémon remains regional. You will only be able to catch Vesprit in Europe and Asia, while Selfe and Tobutz can be caught in other regions of the world. However, with remote raids, you can also acquire Selfe and Tobutz here. How to get invited to Selfe and Tobutz has been summarized for you here.
We updated this article on September 16, 2021, for you. We brought the guide up to date and adjusted the best counters against Vesprit.
These are the best counters against Vesprit
The legendary Pokémon Vesprit belongs to Generation 4 and is a Psychic-type. It has weaknesses against Ghost, Dark, and Bug types. Therefore, Ghost and Dark Pokémon are especially good choices. You should use the following Pokémon:
Mega-Gengar with Lick and Shadow Ball
Mega-Hundemon with Snarl and Foul Play
(Crypto-) Snibunna with Snarl and Foul Play
(Crypto-) Despotar with Bite and Crunch
(Crypto-) Mewtwo with Psycho Cut and Shadow Ball
Skelabra with Curse and Shadow Ball
Mega-Gyarados with Bite and Crunch
Darkrai with Snarl and Shadow Ball
(Crypto-) Hundemon with Snarl and Foul Play
Giratina Origin Forme with Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball
(Crypto-) Kramshef with Snarl and Dark Pulse
(Crypto-) Absol with Snarl and Dark Pulse
(Crypto-) Traunmagil with Curse and Shadow Ball
These 4 Pokémon are all good counters against Vesprit
More solid counters: While not the best counters, Bug-type Pokémon are at least a solid choice. They simply don’t have as strong stats as Ghost and Dark Pokémon, but can still be used effectively.
Here is a list of additional good counters that almost every trainer likely has:
(Crypto-) Pinsir with Bug Bite and X-Scissor
(Crypto-) Scherox with Fury Cutter and X-Scissor
Gengar with Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball
Torhaido with Bite and Crunch
Mega-Bibor with Bug Bite & X-Scissor
These Pokémon you should not use: Some Pokémon deal very little damage against Vesprit, so you should not use them. This includes Lugia or Stolloss.
Also a poor choice are Fighting-type Pokémon like Machomei, as Vesprit is very effective against them. The same goes for Poison Pokémon.
This is how strong Vesprit can be from the raid: The Psychic Pokémon can have a maximum of 1747 CP in raids. In windy weather, it can even reach 2184 CP. This would be a Vesprit with 100% IV.
How many players do I need for Vesprit? You can defeat the Pokémon relatively easily in a group of three with the best counters and a good friendship level. If you don’t have such a high level yet, we recommend about 5-6 players for Vesprit.
Is there Shiny Vesprit? Yes, you can encounter Vesprit in its shiny form with a bit of luck. You can recognize it by its golden body.
Vesprit normal (left) and shiny (right)
Is it worth raiding for Vesprit? The legendary Pokémon is not among the best attackers. It is a solid Pokémon, but faces too much competition among Psychic attackers. A detailed analysis of Vesprit’s strength has already been published for you.
You can still catch Vesprit in the wild: The lake trio was already released in the wild. There you can still catch the Pokémon, depending on their region. However, they should be very rare there.

The new Call of Duty: Vanguard once again changes the mechanics around the mini-map and sound suppression. Players demand changes and wish for the return of the ‘old’ mini-map. What lies behind it, we explain to you on MeinMMO.
The shooter Call of Duty: Vanguard has just completed its first beta weekend and received much feedback on the issues of the test phase and also on the general mechanics. And one thing is at the top of many players’ wish lists for changes: the return of the classic mini-map.
MeinMMO shows you how the ‘classic’ mini-map works, how Vanguard interprets this mechanic, and what solution many players desire.
Mini-map used to be strong gameplay support
How did the mini-map work before? In Call of Duty, you used to see your enemies on the mini-map when they fired with an unsuppressed weapon. A red mark on the map briefly showed the position of a potential kill – even beyond the edge of the mini-map.
When configurable weapon attachments came into play, you could bypass this ping by equipping your weapon with a suppressor. But you consciously had to give up another strong bonus to take advantage of this.
Another way to see enemies on the mini-map, is Killstreaks. A reconnaissance aircraft monitors the action on the map and regularly pings enemies on the mini-map like a radar. A personal radar also uncovers enemies, but only for you and not for the entire team.
You can normally escape this discovery with the perk “Ghost”. The Killstreak “Counter UAV” also helps, as this drone makes the enemy mini-map useless.
What impact does this have on match flow? It makes a big difference whether you are regularly visible on the map or not. Especially aggressive players sacrifice other strong bonuses to remain unseen on the map.
Basically, this has increased the speed of battles and tactics. More information about the positions of enemies is available, and good reconnaissance allows you to have a rough idea of what you are getting into in a fight.
If you keep an eye on the mini-map as a player, it often gives you a significant advantage.
If you want to take a look at the Vanguard beta yourself, here are the important dates for the open beta:
What is different in Vanguard? With Modern Warfare from 2019, there was a new system. Also, players without a suppressor are no longer visible on the map when firing. This made the reconnaissance drone more important.
Vanguard also relies on this system again, but with a twist. Because theoretically you can use the old system again with the perk “Radar”. You must therefore use a perk and give up other advantages to use the old mechanic in the game. If it weren’t for the generous gunsmith.
In Vanguard, you can equip 10 out of 10 attachment slots at any time. Two of the attachment slots, muzzle and ammunition type, give you attachments that allow you to suppress your sound, thus countering the perk “Radar”. You have to use a valuable perk slot that can easily be countered by a less valuable attachment slot.
Against the reconnaissance aircraft, the perk “Ghost” also helps here, and the Killstreak “Counter UAV”, which disrupts the entire enemy team’s mini-map so that neither the outlines of the map nor soldier pings can be seen. If you are on the move, have full suppression and the perk “Ghost” in your loadout, you can almost completely disappear from the mini-map.
Additionally, the very long deployment times of the Counter UAVs in the beta come into play. If an enemy activates a drone, the mini-map is disrupted for more than a minute. However, the Counter UAVs can also be shot down.
Only the improved reconnaissance aircraft can theoretically detect you with full counter abilities, but it has not yet been confirmed whether the better reconnaissance is even in the game.
The mini-map in Vanguard often shows no enemies. Only the blue arrows of friends.
What impact does this have on match flow? Your loadouts should be prepared against detection by “Radar”. So you either need a strong suppressor for the muzzle or subsound ammunition. The perk “Ghost” remains strong and important.
Players must decide whether they want the old mini-map, which may occupy a perk slot unnecessarily due to the good possibility of sound suppression. Or whether they prefer to use other perks to detect enemies, such as “Tracker,” which shows the footprints of nearby enemies.
Overall, the weaker mini-map reduces the speed of battles and tactics. The weaker reconnaissance leads to more uncertainty and thus to a generally more cautious approach.
If you, as a player, keep an eye on the mini-map, the advantages to you are manageable.

We want your opinion on the topic
The issue with the mini-map has been a topic since CoD MW, and Cold War also relies on the old system again. How do you see this? Participate in our survey on the mini-map topic or check out the results directly:
Many players have a clear opinion about the mini-map
What do players say about it? At the time of Modern Warfare in 2019, the mini-map was already a controversy in the community, and before the beta launch of Vanguard, many players also advocated for the classic version of the mini-map. Thus, the news account “ModernWarzone” launched a survey on the topic at the end of August and received a clear response:

Of the more than 26,000 participants, over 21,000 wanted the old mini-map back (as of 14.09.21), meaning the perk “Radar” standard and without having to sacrifice a perk slot. The survey has no representative value for a statement about the entire player base of Call of Duty, but it probably indicates the trend.
On the discussion platform reddit, the topic is also a “hit.” In the still relatively young subreddit of CoD Vanguard, 2 topics about the mini-map occupy 1st and 3rd place among the threads with the most upvotes at all (via reddit.com / as of 14.09.21).
Especially the user “Hayashii” has articulated their opinion on the topic very extensively (via reddit.com). For the user, the mini-map of the beta is the “most useless mini-map ever” in a CoD and also immediately suggests 3 improvement possibilities for Vanguard:
Subsonic ammunition should show firing enemies when a radar is activated
Counter UAV should have a shorter duration and be a 5-kill streak
The perk “Ghost” can only be unlocked at higher levels
There are also players in the thread who do not want to give the mini-map the status of strong gameplay support. But approval for the system of CoD MW is only rarely found.
When it comes to the setting and in-game mechanics, it also depends a lot on your own taste. One person may have no interest in World War, while another is put off by jet packs and a futuristic scenario. The same applies to perks and abilities.
We also gladly read your comments on the topic of the mini-map. How would you solve the problem? Participate in our survey in the article and share your thoughts in the comments on MeinMMO.

With so many available fighters in Pokémon Unite, it is always exciting to see what the community thinks about them. Therefore, we wanted to know from you which three Pokémon you prefer to take into battle. We evaluated the survey and now show you the 22 Pokémon in your ranking.
What’s it about? The MOBA Pokémon Unite now includes a variety of pocket monsters. Each has its own specialties and strengths. Additionally, some Pokémon are played in specific sections of the battle arena – Bot, Top, or Mid Lane (Jungle).
In a survey, we wanted to find out which Pokémon you like to play the most. The Pokémon Blastoise was not implemented in the game at the time of the survey, which is why it does not appear in this evaluation.
These are the results: A total of 762 MeinMMO readers participated in the survey, and each of you had three votes available. In total, there were 1913 individual votes.
Now let’s move on to the top 10 of your favorites.
Rank 10: Charizard (Charizard)
Battle Type: All-Rounder
Preferred Lane: Top or Bot Lane
Equippable Held Items:
Muscle Band
Energy Amplifier
Buddy Barrier
Focus Band
This is Charizard: Charizard is an old hand among Pokémon and belongs to the three iconic starter Pokémon of Generation 1 of the main series. In Pokémon Unite, it also utilizes its fiery powers with attacks like Fire Spin and Flamethrower.
Its Unite Move “Seismic Slam” also recalls old Pokémon episodes, where it grabbed opponents, lifted them into the air and then slammed them down to the ground with full force. Charizard benefits from partners like Mr. Mime, Blissey, or Eldegoss, who support it diligently at the start.
With one more vote, namely 79 in total (4.13%), it surpasses Gardevoir and secures its place in the top 10 of your favorites.
Rank 9: Pikachu
Battle Type: Attacker (special)
Preferred Lane: Top or Bot Lane
Equippable Held Items:
Energy Amplifier
Buddy Barrier
Wise Glasses
Shell Bell
This is Pikachu: Everyone knows Pikachu, right? The mascot has imprinted itself in the minds of some grandparents and is simply indispensable in the franchise. The electric mouse has also been with us since Generation 1 of the main series and is Ash’s eternal partner in the series.
With the attacks Electro Ball and Thunderbolt, it can electrify opponents properly and deal heavy damage. Pikachu appreciates partners like Snorlax, Slowbro, or Alolan Ninetales on the lane. Together they can really annoy opponents by inflicting movement incapacity.
Pikachu is probably a bit cleverer than Charizard and sneaks past Charizard with 80 votes (4.18%) to rank 9.
Rank 8: Absol
Battle Type: Speedster
Preferred Lane: Jungle
Equippable Held Items:
Score Shield
Attack Weight
Scope Lens
Muscle Band
This is Absol: The mysterious, graceful and slightly dark Pokémon Absol belongs to the Dark type. It was introduced along with the Hoenn region in the 3rd main series game. In Pokémon Unite, it lives up to its type “Speedster.”
It moves quickly with attacks like Feint, Night Slash, or Pursuit in specific directions and rarely leaves opponents alive when it comes into play. As high as Absol’s critical damage is, its defense is equally low. If it doesn’t escape in time, it stands a very good chance of feeling the wrath of the opponent’s Pokémon and getting knocked out.
Absol has left Pikachu in the dust and occupies rank 8 on this list with 4.81% (92 votes).
Rank 7: Gengar
Battle Type: Speedster
Preferred Lane: Jungle
Equippable Held Items:
Sp. Atk. Specs
Wise Glasses
Shell Bell
Score Shield
This is Gengar: The Ghost Pokémon Gengar also comes from Generation 1 of the main series and has likely given you a nightmare or two at Jens’ Teak City Arena in Johto or in Pokémon Unite.
At one point, Gengar was the most feared Pokémon in Unite with its Sludge Bomb and Hex combination. However, since it has been weakened, it is now rarely seen in battles. Yet it can still annoy opponents significantly with the attack Dream Eater, especially when combined with a Wigglytuff or Snorlax. However, Gengar prefers to disappear into the jungle.
Even though it is played less in Unite, Gengar has still made it to rank 7 with 107 votes (5.59%).
This is Snorlax: Who hasn’t thought “Aww” as Snorlax joyfully runs through Pokémon Unite? The round, lazy, and gluttonous Pokémon is the last on this list that comes from Generation 1 of the main series.
Snorlax is one of the best fighters in Unite. It can keep opponents at bay with its shield, cause damage with Heavy Slam, and leave opponents immobile. Additionally, it has the ability to put opponents to sleep with Yawn. If you encounter a teammate with Wigglytuff in important battles who can also put opponents to sleep, this can create a deadly combo for the enemies.
Often, this defender is left behind on a lane. You can trust it to protect the goals. Pokémon like Pikachu or Ninetales are also liked by Snorlax.
With 6.17% (118 votes), Snorlax rolls past Gengar to secure rank 6 on the list.
On the next page, we continue with the top 5 of our ranking.

According to insider reports, it has been confirmed: The release of Battlefield 2042 is being postponed. The shooter will share such a fate with many other major titles. Tarek Zehrer, a freelance author at MeinMMO, believes: The release policy in the industry is slowly becoming just annoying.
What are these rumors? Several industry insiders have speculated in recent days about a possible release delay for Battlefield 2042. They all report that their source mentions a possible release in 2022. (via thegamer.com)
However, they do not provide any concrete details, but many consider the possibility to be quite plausible. Since August, it has been relatively quiet around Battlefield 2042. And this, despite the fact that the release on October 22 is not far away, and the franchise is one of the most important from EA.
So it would not surprise anyone if this were to happen. I would not be surprised by a release in 2022 either; however, I must say: It is slowly becoming ridiculous and just annoying. Why do we even need release dates anymore?
A brief note in advance: The article is directed against the release policy, not against the developers behind the respective games. They have only limited influence on a specific release date and are often struggling with crunch and long working hours. Therefore, I would like to explicitly exclude them from criticism.
Release dates are often just placeholders
What is the problem? Looking at the major releases of recent years, you can notice: A specific date has only minimal significance.
Especially with high-budget games and online features, the trend is clear, but even single-player games are affected.
Here are just a few examples that many of you may be familiar with:
It is becoming increasingly rare for a title to be released on the day it was announced. And don’t get me wrong: The fact that a release is postponed is not necessarily a bad thing for me.
If a game still needs time, publishers and developers should simply take the time and postpone a release if necessary.
But why do we need to set such a tight date in the first place, putting pressure on developers, which cannot then be met? And that in times when crunch is increasingly being discussed and criticized?
Why are release dates becoming increasingly inaccurate and, at least it feels like, being set incorrectly more often? And much more importantly: Why does the customer have to be aware of this at all? One reason could be that the games are becoming more gigantic, complex, and elaborate in development.
That’s why it’s difficult to change anything: The exact reasons can only be speculated about from the outside. But I believe that it has to do with the millions of dollars spent on marketing and hype campaigns in the industry. Nowadays, major advertising campaigns are often launched months and years in advance.
Additionally, major publishers often have to disclose their exact plans in investor conferences. Accordingly, they are almost forced to present some sort of roadmap. After all, the major publishers are multi-billion dollar companies.
This can lead to good ideas and visions for games being destroyed well in advance. The hype is built up, fans are excited, looking forward to the release – and then it doesn’t happen.
As a result, players lose more and more interest in the product, the hype subsides and, in the worst case, high expectations are not met, as with Cyberpunk. This is not good for the fans who get disappointed, not good for the devs who are working hard, and not good for publishers and studios whose reputation is tarnished.
A major game from the last few years has shown how it can work.
How did it go with Apex? A positive example from the recent past is Apex Legends. The free-to-play shooter was released simply, without major advance notice. Without months or even years of a marketing campaign.
Apex suddenly appeared and had millions of players within days. Although it is a free-to-play game, it is still difficult to establish oneself as a newcomer in that segment today.
Was the game internally postponed at some point? Who knows? Nothing is known outside the team and the publisher about that. And that is the point: There can’t be a shitstorm if no one finds out about the development of the game years in advance. Developers could at least work with a little more peace.
I would simply wish that more focus would be put on bringing games to market in good condition and taking the time needed.
During years of development, unforeseen events can cause chaos repeatedly. The industry has experienced this vividly with the example of Covid.
So just announce the game when it’s done! I don’t need to know two years in advance whether shooter X will be released sometime in 202X or maybe not. How refreshing would it be if games were simply announced shortly before release?
But what do you think about the topic? Does the release mess bother you as much as it does me? Or do you care less? Discuss with us in the comments.

The development teams from DICE, Ripple Effect, and Criterion have together with EA postponed the release of the shooter Battlefield 2042 (PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series). The new release date is now November 19, 2021. The delay is attributed to the difficult working conditions caused by the Corona crisis. However, there will be an open beta.
This is being postponed:
Originally, the release of Battlefield 2042 was planned for October 22, 2021
The new release date is November 19, 2021 – about a month later. Both dates are Fridays.
Why isBattlefield 2042 being delayed? The involved developer teams and EA say in a joint statement on Twitter that the team has encountered unexpected difficulties. They attribute it to the Corona pandemic. The pandemic has posed “unexpected challenges” for the team.
They had actually hoped that the teams could manage just fine as the release approached, but now must realize that it is not going to work. Especially considering the size and direction of the game.
The teams have been working hard from home, but now believe that more time is needed to realize the vision for Battlefield 2042.
They mention that it is still necessary to put “the finishing touches” on Battlefield 2042.
Battlefield 2042 delayed, but not as long as feared
Did we see this coming? Throughout the day, rumors had arisen that Battlefield 2042 would be delayed. However, it was assumed that the shooter could even be pushed to 2022. This concern has not come to pass.
This is noteworthy: Journalist Jeff Grubb points out that there might be a reason for the announcement being made at 10:05 PM. At 10 PM, the US stock market NASDAQ closes, where Electronic Arts stocks are traded.
MeinMMO author Tarek Zehrer already addressed today that so many games are being postponed in 2021:
On September 16, Phase 2 of WoW Burning Crusade Classic begins. We at MeinMMO reveal what to expect and how you can participate in the new content.
What does Phase 2 bring? Phase 2 will activate some new content in Burning Crusade Classic that players can explore. You can especially look forward to two iconic boss encounters, which are also considered the hardest thus far in the Classic era:
The raid “The Serpent Shrine Cavern” will be unlocked. There you will face Lady Vashj.
The raid “The Eye in the Tempest Keep” will be unlocked. There you will fight Kael’thas Sunstrider.
Additionally, with the new phase, the 2nd arena season begins, where you can earn new weapons and armor. Also in Phase 2, the PvP battlegrounds will be overhauled so you can fight against your faction as well. This was already tested in July 2021 and is supposed to remain until the end of Burning Crusade.
What else will change? In addition to the major changes, there are also some small adjustments that can be quite interesting:
The old raids will be slightly easier in difficulty.
Daily quests for the factions Ogri’la and Skyguard of the Sha’tari will be added. These are the first classic daily quests in Classic and they offer a good way to earn gold.
In general, new methods for earning money will be introduced, making it easier for you to acquire your Epic Mount.
Druids can earn their flight form.
When will Phase 2 be released? The release will take place during the night. On September 16 at exactly 0:01 AM our time, the new content will launch worldwide.
To get you in the mood for the new content, we have embedded the trailer for the raid “The Eye in the Tempest Keep”:

Tokens for gloves, pants, and the helm of the Tier 5 set will drop
This is what the Eye in the Tempest Keep offers:
25 players
4 bosses
Final boss Kael’thas
Tokens for shoulders and chest piece of the Tier 5 set will drop
What do you need to do to participate in the new raids? If you want to prepare for the launch of the new raids tonight, you can start by completing the prerequisite quests if you haven’t done so already. The following three quest lines must be completed for both raids:
First, you need to earn access to the Black Morass. The corresponding quest line can be started at level 66 and begins with the Keeper of Time before the Caverns of Time in Tanaris.
Finally, you will need the heroic dungeon keys. However, you need to be Revered with the factions Honor Hold/Thrallmar, Cenarion Expedition, Lower City, and the Sha’tar.
Afterwards, there are special quests for the respective raids:
For the Serpent Shrine Cavern, you must complete the quest “The Scepter of Kar’desh.” You start the quest in the Slave Pens in heroic mode.
For the Tempest Keep, you must complete the quest line “The Hand of Gul’Dan.” This consists of 25 individual quests.
A detailed guide to unlocking the raids has been published by Blizzard itself on their page (via Worldofwarcraft.com).
What do you think about Phase 2 of WoW Burning Crusade Classic? Do the changes appeal to you, and will you return to the game? Or are you playing it actively? Feel free to share in the comments.
Recently, a large raid guild in WoW Classic disbanded. The guild leader had nothing good to say about the MMORPG:
In CoD Warzone players have discovered a new bug related to the Riot Shield. This makes players invincible and causes frustration for their opponents.
Warzone is known for recurring glitches and bugs that affect the game more or less. It’s particularly annoying when a bug allows other players to become invincible. Such bugs have occurred in the past:
There are also numerous cheaters and hackers who employ every trick to gain an advantage.
Now it seems that a new, similar error is in the game, apparently related to the use of the shield.
Do not use bows or Rytec AMR against shield types
What is this bug? User LordTuxedo shared a video on reddit where the bug was accidentally triggered for him. He was using the shield and was shot by a bow.

So it’s best to avoid these two weapons to not accidentally become a victim yourself. The bug may have also been fixed with the latest update that went live today, September 15.
Almost a year after the release of Genshin Impact, the first players have managed to reach the highest Adventure Rank. Countless hours of grinding were necessary for this. But was it worth it? The reward is certainly very… modest.
What is the Adventure Rank? The Adventure Rank or level is a mechanic in Genshin Impact that is primarily determined by your progress in the game.
This level is globally valid for your entire account and differs from the individual character levels. Accordingly, you receive separate EXP for that.
The highest rank currently is level 60, and it has taken almost a year for the first players to reach this rank. While the first 55 levels are relatively easy to achieve, the last 5 ranks require a lot of grinding to complete.
A video from Revimy shows the first player to achieve this milestone two weeks before the first birthday of Genshin Impact:

Eternal Grind – for a few Wishes and Upgrade Materials
What was the reward? For reaching the highest rank, the player received a few Wishes, Primogems, and upgrade material for weapons and characters.
So anyone expecting a special reward for reaching rank 60 may be disappointed. A lot of work is actually required for that.
How long does it take to reach level 60? It is very difficult to provide an exact number. According to gamesradar, it wouldn’t even be enough to complete all daily commissions, events, and quests. That would only get you to rank 58.
The first person to achieve this took almost a year since release to reach this success. This already indicates how high the effort is for it.
What happens after level 60? Aside from the reward, almost nothing changes. Your EXP will now be converted into Mora. Rewards from daily tasks will also bring nearly double the amount of Mora.
Was it worth it? That is something everyone has to decide for themselves. Most players would probably expect a better reward for numerous hours of grinding. For others, however, only the achievement counts.
What is currently happening in Genshin Impact? Next month, the update 2.2 is apparently set to be released. There are already some leaks about new characters and “Tsurumi”, a new island in Inazuma.
Call of Duty: Warzone continues to swing the nerf bat, bringing a new update with further weapon adjustments. Among the nerf victims are some of the best weapons in the game, including Krig 6, FARA 83, and OTs 9. MeinMMO shows you the details.
At the start of Season 5, Call of Duty: Warzone announced that a small turning point is approaching. If a weapon has been one of the top rifles in the game for months, it is set to become weaker to make room for new, unused firearms.
Just last week, with the introduction of the Mid-Season 5, there were some changes, and now another update with extensive weapon adjustments is coming. This time, many top weapons are affected.
Warzone: Update on September 15 brings nerfs for 6 top weapons
When is the update coming? The update and the changes are online.
Which top weapons are affected? Whether weapons for range or for close combat – Warzone introduces some important changes with the latest nerf parade that have the potential to change the weapon meta. The following top weapons will be nerfed:
AK-47 from Cold War – More recoil
FARA 83 – Less damage but better multipliers
Krig 6 – More recoil, less neck damage
QBZ-83 – Slightly more recoil
OTs 9 – Less base damage, less neck damage
Stoner 63 – Recoil overhaul
Additionally, there were a few pure buffs for the two tactical rifles AUG and M16 from Cold War. We list all currently known adjustments for you.
Warzone: Overview of all balance changes from the update
AK-47 from Cold War – Nerf
Rifle kick adjusted
Should feel more like a weapon with 7.62 caliber
FARA 83 – Nerf
Base damage first damage range from 29 to 25

Titan barrel now increases fire rate by 8% instead of 7%
The developers at Raven Software emphasize two things in the preliminary patch notes:
There may be further adjustments to the strong weapons
Every weapon in the game should be usable
Point 2 refers primarily to the tactical rifles, which have fallen into obscurity after the major nerfs at the end of Season 3. However, the Warzone makers also have specific ideas about where the individual rifles should stand. This cannot always be adjusted with concrete changes but is a long process to bring the weapons where they should be.
If you want to get a picture of the developers’ notes on the balance adjustments, you can find the English preliminary patch notes here (via twitter.com).
Warzone continues to tinker with the strongest weapons in the game and aims to ensure that more and more weapons are strong and usable. However, the top weapons must first suffer, and the weapon meta is likely to shift significantly due to the latest adjustments.
MeinMMO keeps an eye on the situation around the weapons and will give you recommendations on how to react to the latest changes in a timely manner. You still have time until Thursday evening to play the current meta. You can find our list of the best weapons in Warzone here.

In June 2021, the expansion Blackwood of The Elder Scrolls Online was released. This also brought the companion system and the companions Mirri and Bastian into the MMORPG. MeinMMO explains how to improve your relationship with your companion.
What are companions in ESO? Companions are NPCs that you can call upon as allies in combat after unlocking them. They assist you on your travels through Tamriel.
Being companions also means building a relationship with them. They have their own minds and will leave you for a short time if you often annoy them. However, you benefit from a good relationship. It unlocks additional quest options, companion abilities, and dialogues.
We reveal what your companions like and what they do not.

During the Open Beta, not only server issues occurred in New World, but also some bugs and exploits that players believe should be fixed. One of the exploits allowed jumping to max level and completely leveling all weapons within a few hours.
What was this exploit? Through PvP in the open world, players in New World gain quite a lot of experience points. However, during the Beta, this was exploited to level up particularly quickly and effectively, thus reach level 60 in just a few hours and even completely level all weapons.
To do this, a player from one faction gathered many players from one of the other two factions. The player can now repeatedly kill them to gain XP and progress with the weapons.
Players from the opposing faction simply respawn over and over and can then be killed again. This exploit was pointed out by reddit user Goatlike1337.
How long does it take to reach max level? The user did not specify a concrete timeframe. However, in one video, it took less than a minute to go from level 24 to 25. Additionally, weapon leveling is very efficient, which means players sometimes had every weapon at the highest level.
We’ve embedded the video of the exploit here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CpzQXvcK7U
Free Faction Change Further Benefits the Strategy
Why does this work so well? There are 3 main reasons:
There is always a good amount of experience points, no matter how often you defeat the same player and regardless of the level they are. It is recommended to complete 9 PvP quests beforehand to increase the “XP bounty.”
The respawn timer of the “enemies” rises to a maximum of one minute.
The more players gather, the faster you level up.
What is particularly “insidious” is that you receive a “gifted” switch between factions at the start of the Open Beta and – as of now – also at release. Normally, one must wait 120 days to join another faction.
A company can start leveling as Syndicate, and each player then gradually changes factions, after which they can hit the remaining teammates in the Syndicate. After a certain tipping point, the Syndicate players can then hit the other members of the company who have now joined the new faction. Thus, the whole group benefits from the exploit.
Will the exploit be fixed? So far, Amazon has not commented on the bug in the forum or on reddit. It is considered one of the “Game Breaking Bugs” that some players are afraid of and which is why some doubt the release of New World in September.
User Agitated_Entity even states that such an exploit would “destroy the game for many.” Their comment received over 60 upvotes and further approval from other users.
Users on reddit suggest that players should receive less and eventually no XP for killing the same players repeatedly. From their perspective, this would be a rather simple fix.
What do you think about this exploit? Would it bother you if some players quickly reach level 60 with such a trick and experience activities that you only see in a few days or weeks?

Fortnite lets weapons come and go over the course of new seasons. Some of them are unique, while others just waste item slots in your inventory. We at MeinMMO will show you which are the best weapons in the current Season 8.
Where do the weapon infos come from? The information about the weapon stats is based on a list from DotEsports (via. Dotesports.com) and info from the Fortnite Wiki (via. Fortnite Wiki). In this top list, I will compile everything from it and also include my own experience to show you which weapons will surely grant you an epic victory.
About the author: My name is Christos, I am a freelance author at MeinMMO and primarily active in the fields of Fortnite and Destiny. After more than 2,000 hours of gameplay and numerous seasons in Fortnite that I have actively experienced, I can form a solid judgement of what matters in a weapon in Fortnite and which weapons will most likely prevail this season.
These are the best weapons in Chapter 2 Season 8
For weapons in Fortnite, good handling and high damage are usually crucial. As every second in a fight could mean the end, the special function of each weapon is not overlooked. Currently, the following weapons stand out:
Dragons-Breath
Spire Rifle
Spire Minigun
Lever Action Shotgun
Submachine Gun
[toc]
Dragons-Breath
The glowing exotic sniper
What makes this weapon strong? This beauty may not have been noticed by everyone yet, but this sniper belongs to the mythical weapons of Season 8. With this gun, you have a fire devil in your hands. Nothing is safe from its damage or its flaming effect, but be careful and don’t burn yourself.
Important info about the weapon:
One bullet in the chamber
Damage: 116 per shot, damage is increased to 2.5 times for headshots
Creates a small explosion on impact

Pro
Sets everything on fire upon bullet impact
Effective at long distances
Creates area damage with a small radius
High damage
Contra

Very expensive
Spire Rifle
The Spire Rifle
What makes this weapon strong? This weapon not only looks special, it is. By transforming into a Spire weapon, the gun has no magazine. You can only overheat this gun, and that’s where it gets exciting. Through overheating, your fired shots become more powerful and you deal more damage.
Important info about the weapon:
No magazine size – Consumes ammo until overheating
Requires assault rifle ammo
Damage: 29 – 38 – For headshots, double (depending on quality)
What makes this weapon special? This gun is the bigger brother of the rifle from the Spire world. With this monster, you can shoot as you like, just like with a regular minigun, but if it’s close to overheating, its fire rate is increased.
Important info about the weapon:
No magazine size – Consumes ammo until overheating
Requires pistol ammo
Damage: 19 – 24 – For headshots, double (depending on quality)
Cooldown: 5.25 – 4 seconds depending on quality
Where can you find it: In Spire worlds or Spire anomalies at the respective Kevin chests
Pro
Increased fire rate when near overheating
No reloading necessary
Wreaks havoc on buildings
Contra
Long cooldown time
If you’re not careful, the weapon overheats
Only found in Spire worlds
Lever Action Shotgun
The Terminator shotgun also known as the Lever Action Shotgun
What makes this weapon special? This gun evokes Terminator feelings. With this pump, you can act quickly and fire shots if things get heated. It fires faster than its predecessor, the pump shotgun, and has a cool animation when drawing the weapon.
Important info about the weapon:
Damage: ranges from 93.6 – 114.3 (depending on quality)
Reload time: takes 6.6 – 5.4 seconds (depending on quality)
Magazine size: 6 shots
Where can you find it: Everywhere, in chests, on the ground
Pro
Good for pushing opponents
Fast weapon handling allows for quick shots and weapon readiness
What makes this weapon special? An oldie among weapons is the submachine gun. With this large razor, you can tear down walls in seconds. The gun also ensures that your enemies’ hit points dissipate into thin air.
Important info about the weapon:
Damage: 16 – 20 (depending on quality)
Reload time: 2.31 – 1.89 seconds (depending on quality)
Magazine size: 30 – 35 in the magazine (depending on quality)
Where can you find it: Everywhere, in chests, on the ground
Pro
Very deadly in close combat but also at medium distances
Good for pushing
Tears down walls quickly
Contra
Not intended for long-range
Uses ammunition quickly
Fortnite has a lot more good weapons to offer, but these 5 are likely to be the current best guns in Season 8 that will surely grant you an epic victory. You can fill your inventory with firefly grenades or regular grenades, or you take apart a llama and treat yourself to a Slurp Bazooka.
Note: This list is a compilation of weapons that are considered by me and many others to be the “currently best” – but this may not necessarily apply to you. As always, it ultimately comes down to personal taste, individual preferences, and whether you can actually handle the respective weapon or not.
Just because many find it good or the stats are top, doesn’t automatically mean that you will handle it well enough for it to perform strongly for you.
If you have other weapons in mind that are not listed here, feel free to let us know in the comments.

YouTuber and Twitch streamer Brandon “Bashurverse” Ahsur has died at the age of 36 due to complications from COVID-19. He was a successful content creator for Minecraft on YouTube in the early 2010s until his past caught up with him. Even from his hospital bed, he urged people to get vaccinated.
This was Bashurverse’s career:
The Minecraft career of the American took place mainly in 2013. At that time, his YouTube channel grew by several hundred thousand subscribers in a short period. By April 2014, he had surpassed one million subscribers.
However, in 2015, it came to light that he had been arrested 11 years earlier in Kentucky for having “illegal contact with a minor.” Terrible rumors quickly spread on the internet. Ashur later admitted that he had had a relationship with a 15-year-old while he was 18. The fact that this story surfaced years later triggered a personal crisis for the YouTuber.
After abruptly ending his career in 2017, Ashur tried to rebuild a career starting in 2019 as “Toasty Time” and worked as a Twitch streamer.

YouTuber succumbs to COVID-19 after weeks of battle: “It is hell”
This was his COVID experience: Throughout August, the Twitch streamer repeatedly addressed his fans on Twitter and reported on his battle against the COVID-19 illness:
On August 12, he wrote that this was his 5th day with COVID. His father had infected him, and he was now in the hospital receiving oxygen. The experience was terrible.
On August 15, he said he was admitted to the hospital. He had both COVID and pneumonia. It was pure hell.
On August 17, the streamer wrote that he was being transferred to the intensive care unit. He hoped he could survive.

On August 23, he stated that he was still in the intensive care unit and was on oxygen. He urged his followers to get vaccinated. He said he was close to death but was now fighting to come back to life.
On August 26, he thanked the fans for their support. He believed he could make it.
The tweets stopped. As it turns out now, he did not survive the fight against COVID.
As his sister informs the community of the streamer via Discord, the Twitch streamer has died at the age of 36.
His sister says she held his hand as he passed away during the night, with banjo music playing in the background. He fell asleep as peacefully as possible. The doctors had told them he was beyond the point of return. The family had to choose how they wanted to let him go.

More ratings for FIFA 22 are becoming known. But not everyone is happy with all the values. Now, national player Antonio Rüdiger complained on Twitter about his own card.
What’s happening in FIFA 22? The FIFA 22 release is approaching, and more player values are coming to light. Fans have started discussing the ratings. Are their favorite players rated fairly? How does the club from their own city perform? What surprises are in the ratings?
However, not everyone agrees with all the ratings, as some ratings are partially difficult to comprehend. The German national player Antonio Rüdiger seems to share this opinion regarding his own values.
EA Sports has given the Chelsea defender, who was significantly involved in the Champions League victory last season, an overall rating of 83. This corresponds to an upgrade of 2 overall points.
However, Rüdiger is particularly concerned about one value on his card: the speed. EA Sports only assigned a 75 here. While this is a jump of 5 points compared to last year, it is still not particularly high compared to other players.

This is what Rüdiger says: On Twitter, Rüdiger commented on the low speed value:
“Come on @EASPORTSFIFA. 35.8 km/h top speed on the field and only 75 pace in FIFA 22?! What do I have to do to get around 90 pace? 50 km/h?”
Antonio Rüdiger via Twitter
In fact, Rüdiger has repeatedly appeared on lists of the fastest Premier League players over the past years. Just at the end of August, he ranked seventh in an overview of the current season among the fastest players in the league (via The Sun).
Teammates like Kai Havertz have already mentioned Rüdiger when it comes to who is the fastest player at Chelsea (via metro.uk). And even in 2017, Rüdiger was listed as one of the fastest players in the league with over 35 km/h (via ESPN).
However, Rüdiger’s current card does not reflect the high speed.
Again and again, the ratings before the release of a FIFA game cause discussions, as there are often values with which fans or players do not agree. Especially for center-backs – as Rüdiger is one – it has often happened in the past that speed is rated very low.
In the case of FIFA 21, for example, it was the values for FC Bayern Munich that caused upset: they had just won the Champions League, but received weak ratings in comparison.
How this looks this year will become apparent in the coming days, as more values are revealed.

In the last 7 days, the German streamer Jens “Knossi” Knosalla has claimed the Twitch throne for himself. Measured by watch time, he achieved first place worldwide: But how exactly did he manage to do that?
This is why Knossi is now in first place: Streamer Knossi may not appeal to everyone with his exuberant style. However, his talent for captivating and entertaining many people is undeniable. The 35-year-old Twitch icon proves this once again.
The Twitch throne belongs to him, with a clear lead over Canadian Twitch streamer “xQc”. Knossi gathered around 1.5 million more hours of watch time on his streaming clock. xQc actually belongs to the largest Twitch streamers in the world.
Rank 1 was ensured by the livestreaming event “Angelcamp 2”, which was organized by Knossi and broadcast from September 9 to 12.

Angelcamp 2 brings in prominent guests for world rank #1 – what’s behind it?
What is Angelcamp 2? Angelcamp was a live-streaming event that was broadcast on Twitch over multiple days. Since it was already a huge success in 2020, a round 2 was soon established. For the event, Knossi invited various celebrities from the web, TV, and the German music business.
Together, they set up camp on an island in the Czech Republic. With the help of angel expert Claudia Darga, the event was meant to be a relaxed camping weekend.
If it weren’t for the viewers who got to vote on what the participants should do. Around 150,000 viewers at the same time were able to be entertained by Angelcamp 2021 — just on Knossi’s channel. But who actually participated in the camp?
Participants of Angelcamp 2
Knossi
Sido
UnsymphatischTV
DJ Many Marc Schneider
MontanaBlack (cancelled at short notice)
Claudia Darga
Vanessa Mai
Kool Savas
Marius Angeschrien
Jay
Trymacs
Mario Barth
Despite the top spot: Not everyone is satisfied with Angelcamp 2
This is why animal rights activists are concerned: The animal rights organization PETA sharply criticized the event (via Peta.de). Even the location of this year’s Angelcamp set alarm bells ringing for animal rights activists. In 2021, the camp took place in the Czech Republic. PETA accused Knossi and Sido of fleeing abroad with their project.
The accusation is based on the claim that Knossi and his team are afraid of the consequences that could arise from improper handling of the animals. In 2020, the animal rights organization already threatened legal action against those responsible for Angelcamp.
Decisive for the pending lawsuit was the “Catch and Release” method, which is prohibited under certain circumstances, where fish are caught and released. Now PETA is serious and is filing a lawsuit (via esports.de).
This participant is not returning: Not only PETA is dissatisfied with how Angelcamp went. Rapper Sido also expressed that he is not fond of Angelcamp 2 and does not feel comfortable. He was particularly annoyed that viewers had so much decision-making power over him.
For next year, he says he would be happy to be behind the cameras in production, but not as a participant.

The viewer numbers from Angelcamp 2 have shrunk significantly
Although Knossi reached first place with an impressive 156,000 concurrent viewers and the length of the stream, Angelcamp 2021 was not as successful as the previous year. In 2020, nearly twice as many people tuned in to the camping trip with 300,000 viewers as this year.
Some viewers felt there was bad air and a lousy atmosphere in the camp — a possible reason for the drop in viewers.
Those who are now pinning their hopes on the Horrorcamp 2021 will be disappointed. This event was canceled. Knossi mentioned this after MontanaBlack offered to host the camp at his house:
We won’t do Horrocamp anymore. We couldn’t pass on the feeling of eeriness that we had to the viewers.
With update 31 Waking Flame, the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online has received two additional dungeons. These include the dungeon Redpetal Bastion and the Terror Crypt. MiezeMelli from MeinMMO has ventured into both dungeons and reports on them.
What are these dungeons? The Redpetal Bastion is located in the north of the old alliance starting area Glenumbra. The Terror Crypt can be found in the north of the new area Darkwood. In both dungeons, you will encounter not just the regular 3 bosses. Similar to the Unholy Tomb, there are also hidden secret bosses.
Both dungeons were tested in veteran mode with hard mode.
Important vocabulary you should know for this guide
What is a synergy? You can activate a synergy with X (default binding). This triggers a specific effect. Here, it’s the crystals that summon a secret boss or the flames you can absorb with the synergy. There are also abilities of allied players that you can synergize. This often activates a positive effect on you or an additional negative effect on the opponent.
What is an execute? This refers to skills that deal particularly high damage when the target has low health.
What does spawning mean? This term comes from English and means “to appear” or “to show up”.
What does the term cleave damage mean? This refers to damage that hits not only the main target but also other targets nearby.
What does rezen mean? To resurrect a player in the group with a soulstone.
What does Rez-Ulti mean? This term refers to the ultimate ability of the necromancer class. This ability resurrects all dead group members.
What is taunting? This refers to a skill that taunts the opponent. This causes only the player who used this skill to be attacked.
What does HM mean? HM stands for hard mode.

The Terror Crypt
Upon entering the Terror Crypt, you immediately receive the achievement “Explorer of the Waking Flame”. This unlocks a peaceful companion, the scorpion little one “Dragonbiter”. You will remember him in the dungeon.
What initially looks quite idyllic quickly transforms, in keeping with the name, into horror. We encounter the two battle mages Lucilla Caprenia and Martus Tullius, surrounded by a few imperial soldiers. Shortly after, they are attacked by some cultists who, judging by their screams, are spilling blood in the name of “Mehrunes Dagon”.
In this confrontation, both the imperial soldiers and the cultists fall. After witnessing this assault, the quest symbol appears above Martus Tullius. From him, we learn more about this place and receive the quest “Trembling Terror”.
The Terror Crypt is an old prison ruin that should actually be abandoned. However, a horde of Daedra has gathered here. Access is normally forbidden to outsiders, but Martus turns a blind eye if we help him investigate magical disturbances.
Secret bosses in the Terror Crypt
You can fight the secret bosses before each of the 3 boss encounters. This unlocks a usable synergy for the boss fights. The secret bosses you must defeat before the battle can then be summoned in the boss fight at each respective crystal using a synergy. The secret boss will then assist you in the fight for 1 minute.
Furthermore, using a crystal synergy resurrects all allies who are dead. Hence, the bosses can also be used as a “Rez-Ulti”. Here is some information about the individual secret bosses:
1st boss (orange crystal): The Incinerator
2nd boss (blue crystal): The Gravedigger
3rd boss (white crystal): Grim Defender
To open the path to the secret bosses, you must synergize blue flames to open the mysterious corridor. There, you need to activate crystals simultaneously to open a portal to another plane. You must ignite the basins standing in front of each respective crystal.
For the 1st secret boss, you open the mysterious corridor by igniting 2 flame basins. You need 3 flames for the next secret boss, and for the last boss, you need 4 flames. You always have a limited time to ignite the basins, but you can repeat it.
Tip: Clear the way of add groups so you can quickly transport the flames to the basins.
The 1st Boss Scorpion Bane in the Terror Crypt in ESO
You should not burn down the boss, but rather play the mechanics casually. Otherwise, it will become quite difficult. At about 90% boss health, 2 adds spawn: A bone colossus and a Xivilai shockbringer. The ranged attacker needs to be interrupted. And the adds should be focused.
After another 10% boss health, the boss ports to one of the shattered sealing stones and restores it. This also needs to be focused by the DDs. Additionally, 2 more adds spawn: A Daedroth and a Xivilai devastator.
It is advisable for the tank to draw the adds to the sealing stone. Then the DDs can cleave the adds. At the 10% mark, the two described mechanics alternate. Also, be prepared for fire & lightning effects on the ground. These are cast by the shockbringers.
The boss also emits some AOE areas that fill up over time and then deal damage. They are dark red flames.
You can summon the bonus boss at the exit for 1 minute if you have previously defeated the secret boss. You need to synergize the orange crystal at the exit for the 1st secret boss to appear.
The 2nd Boss Cyronin Artellian in the Terror Crypt in ESO
You see wide coal streaks on the ground across the entire area. Flame areas will appear during the fight. They move in the same direction. You must not be hit by them. Players who are hit will die. Thus, you must keep moving during the fight.
Otherwise, the boss is relatively simple. The DDs can deal full damage to the boss. The adds, which are 2 storm atronachs and smaller creatures, should die in cleave damage. The tank just needs to taunt them.
You should generally keep moving. Tanks with heavy armor might consider wearing nimble jewelry to dodge the areas in time.
The final boss Magma Embodiment in the Terror Crypt in ESO
Caution, the non-HM in veteran mode is currently buggy. You also receive some hard mode mechanics even without hard mode. However, these deal more damage in hard mode, of course. Moreover, the boss has twice as much health.
This boss has 8 million health in non-HM and 16 million health in HM. He casts flame rays at 90% health on 3 players. Ideally, place them on the edge, as they leave fire areas along the line. You should not stand too close together with the beam, as they explode and kill players who take more than one beam.
Additionally, fire whirlwinds appear that move across the ground. Occasionally, almost the entire floor area will fill up. You must dodge towards the edge of the room.
The boss casts a dome around himself at about 60% health and cannot take any damage during this time. At the exit, you need to synergize a portal and destroy a sealing stone. There are multiple rooms that are randomly chosen. In some rooms, the tank must definitely taunt the add. The strangler, for example, one-hits healers and DDs.
You don’t have endless time to return. If you stay too long in the portal, you will be pulled back into the boss fight. Once you return from the portal, you will see fire whirlwinds rotating like a wall around the central shape in the room. However, you can dodge through these fire whirlwinds without taking damage.
However, there are additional fire whirlwinds that chaotically spin circles on the ground. You should avoid these, as they cause massive damage. The portal phase repeats at around 30%.
There is also a skill “embodied outbreak,” where the boss plunges his swords into the ground. A circular area appears around him. The tank must then move into the area blocking to protect his group.
Generally, the tank should prepare for painful blows from the boss. I also recommend wearing some armor pieces that fit, as you have to dodge many attacks and areas.
Smaller daedric creatures will spawn during the fight. You do not need to focus them, but they should die in cleave damage. Ideally, the tank can pull the adds to the boss.
The Redpetal Bastion
This dungeon also looks quite idyllic at the beginning. In the distance, you spot three figures. As you approach them, you witness a heated discussion between 3 NPCs. Among them is our old daedric acquaintance Lyranth, a preacher of the Mother of Roses (Azura) named Weylin, and a knight of the Silver Rose.
We only catch the end of this conversation in which the Knight of the Silver Rose refuses the other two NPCs entry into the fortress, turns around, and enters the fortress. He threatens with violence should they attempt to gain entry.
Naturally, we wonder at the sight what the reason is for the two being denied entry into the fortress. A quest symbol appears above Weylin. After we speak to him, he warns us against entering the fortress and explains his concerns. We receive the quest “A Rose of Many Thorns”.
Weylin informs us that some relics were forcibly removed from Azura’s temple by the Knights of the Silver Rose. Lyranth is also looking for a relic located inside the fortress of the Knights of the Silver Rose.
Essentially, the knights confiscate dangerous items from harmful cults to protect Tamriel from daedric creatures. Weylin seems to misunderstand why the knight order has turned against his temple. He had assumed the relationship between the order and his temple was a good one.
The two quest characters Lyranth and Weylin.
Lyranth is less informative. She seems somewhat pleased to see us again, but reveals nothing about the agreement between her and Weylin, “That’s only something for her and him.” Now it seems it’s up to us to illegally enter the fortress of the knight order and find out more.
The 1st Boss Rogerain the Cunning in the Redpetal Bastion in ESO
This boss deals significant damage. You should rather dodge his heavy attacks. Even for a tank, these are quite painful to block. Additionally, he summons deathjumpers and portals from which daedric creatures emerge. Moreover, lightning whirlwinds glide across the ground from him.
Occasionally, he transforms one of your group members into a goat. While transformed, no abilities can be cast. As a goat, you need to collect sweet rolls on the ground until you transform back.
The 2nd Boss Eliam Merick in the Redpetal Bastion in ESO
This boss is occasionally supported by the minibosses Liramindel (archer) and Ihudir (swordsman). Be cautious when he emits shockwaves from himself. For healers and DDs, this area is usually a one-hit.
Particularly challenging with this boss is that you must constantly be on the move. This makes it difficult for DDs to deal damage to the boss and for the healer to provide healing to his group. Occasionally, the boss jumps to a random player. Anyone who stands in this area will die.
Additionally, the boss leaves circular AOE areas all over the floor and a large AOE area at his position. Once he summons a dome around him, players underneath it are shielded from all abilities.
The minibosses must be interrupted repeatedly and also deal significant damage. Thus, the focus of the DDs should initially be on the minibosses. During the execute, these can then be ignored, and the boss can be focused.
The final boss Prior Thierric Sarazen in the Redpetal Bastion in ESO
The final boss creates a replica of himself, causing two Priore Thierric Sarazen to attack the tank. Additionally, every 25% of the boss health, 2 silver rose terrain shapers and smaller daedric creatures appear. We also encounter the dome from the 2nd boss fight. Likewise, the jump to a random player is back.
But we can also expect ground effects. Large circular AOE areas will appear, and we will not be spared from shockwaves either. Additionally, thorns will occasionally rise from the ground that cause area damage.
Starting from around 60% boss health, additional area damage will emerge, moving like a wall from one end of the room to the other. It resembles the mechanic from the Claw Lair. However, you are not necessarily dead if you get hit by it. But it still hurts.
If you are interested in more about ESO, you might also find this appealing:
During the execute (boss health below 25%), additional medium-sized red circular areas will emerge that move.
My conclusion on the new dungeons from Waking Flame
The new dungeons really pack a punch. The 2nd boss of the Redpetal Bastion has particularly stuck in my mind. In hard mode, we wiped numerous times and ultimately had to change our setup. Once everyone was on their main role, it worked.
In the Terror Crypt, the final boss in hard mode is challenging. You should have a strong tank, a reliable healer, and DDs in the group who do not often fall. It is quite difficult to resurrect a player. Additionally, I recommend unlocking the secret bosses to summon them in battle.
But I would definitely recommend: Take your time if you want to run the new dungeons in hard mode. And don’t experiment with characters beforehand, but play a character you feel comfortable with.

Fortnite: Battle Royale has started into Chapter 2 Season 8. As the map has been thoroughly reshuffled, we are showing you here on MeinMMO the best landing spots where you can get plenty of loot, weapons, fish, and other goodies, giving you a strong advantage over your opponents.
How did we come to this assessment? Our analysis of the best landing points on the map in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8 is based on our experiences in the game as well as research from the community on Reddit and YouTube.
These landing spots should be sought after at the start of the game
Where are the landing points? Here on the Season 8 map you can already see our top landing spots. You will find out in the following paragraphs what exactly makes them so good and what you should still pay attention to.
Here you will find all landing points.
The Flip World Bubble
Where is the place? These new places are nasty domes that randomly appear at known POIs. When you enter the bubbles, you will be taken to a changed version of the respective area.
You can usually see at the start of the game on the map where the Flip World Bubble is located. Pay attention to the yellow circles.
This is what a Flip World Bubble looks like.
What is so good about it? In the Flip World you can grab massive loot, including the special crystal fragment weapons that can be found here.
By taking out the AI opponents there, you will obtain fragments with which you can upgrade these powerful weapons. So if you rock the Flip World, you already have a great advantage early in the game.
Pro
Flip World Weapons
Good Loot
Upgrades for Flip World Weapons
Contra
Dangerous Monsters
Other players also join in
No building allowed
What should you still pay attention to? The Flip World is swarming with monsters that will attack you. If you are not careful, the creatures will take you apart. Also, you are not alone, as other players might also join in.
You will be fighting against the monsters and regular human opponents. So watch out that no one sneaks up on you and remember this: In the Flip World, building is prohibited!
Crash Sites of the Alien Ship
Where is the place? Across the map, there are several crash sites where fragments of the destroyed alien mothership have crashed.
You can already see them on the map by their orange-purple coloring. There are a total of 7 crash sites (counting those at Sludgy Swamp and Weeping Woods as individual zones).
One of the crash sites.
What is so good about it? First of all, the crash sites are heavily stocked with loot. The density of chests and other useful things is always high here. For that reason alone, landing here is worth it, but there’s more.
In addition, you can find small cubes at the wreckage. They operate similarly to those from the first big Halloween event.
When you collect them, you will become a type of spirit that is well camouflaged and ideal for nasty deception maneuvers.
But what good is the best loot if you can’t get away in time and the crash sites are unfortunately all located at the edges of the map?
The pink slides provide relief. With them, you can quickly change your position and bring yourself and your loot to safety when the zone comes or the opponents become overpowering.
Pro
Many Loot Chests
Cubes grant invisibility
Slides for quick movement
Contra
Invisible Opponents
Rather remote
Confusing
What should you still pay attention to? The camouflage cube items are certainly not reserved for you, and some sneaky opponents may have already acquired such a mini-Kevin.
So don’t rely on the fact that a seemingly empty area is truly abandoned and solitary. Invisible opponents might already be lurking for you!
Moreover, the terrain is winding and confusing. Your opponent doesn’t even need the camouflage cube in such places to sneakily ambush you. So pay special attention to such confusing corners.
Lastly, there is also the banal danger of falling while looting or fighting among the wreckage and smashing to the ground. So watch out!
Coral Castle
Where is the place? Coral Castle is located in the northwest of the Fortnite island. The POI is dominated by water. It is a large area, with the POI Believer Beach to the south and a crash site to the east. So landing here is worthwhile in multiple ways.
Here you can find fish and resources, and not too many enemies.
What is so good about it? Coral Castle is remote, which can be an advantage depending on the Battle Bus’s flight path. If it is far away from the flight path, you can loot there in peace and usually have fewer opponents on your tail.
If you’re already there, you can also break down the fish statues. This gives you valuable stones that you might later need to secure yourself through wild building.
Another reason to visit this picturesque location is that there is plenty of fish. If you enjoy fishing, then treat yourself to a few rounds with the rod, as you will find a large number of health and shield fish here.
What should you still pay attention to? The remoteness of this place is not just an advantage. If you linger too long and want to loot every hidden chest or really fish every single fish out of the water, the storm will soon be on your tail.
If things go wrong, you may burn up with all your collected loot in the zone, or some schemer might shoot you on the way because you weren’t paying attention in your panicked escape.
This danger is further heightened by the fact that the POI is permeated by water, which slows you down and hinders quick escapes. So really keep an eye on the time you have left and better add some extra time before you end up being a storm victim. That really doesn’t have to be!
It’s also bad: In the water, there are sharks that can also munch on you if you’re not careful or if you’re already weak while retreating!
Zero Point Crater
Where is the place? The crater where the tower used to be stands at the very center of the island. The area is covered in purple crystals, and in the middle of the crater, a lake has formed.
The Zero Point has changed several times.
What is so good about it? This place is easily accessible due to its central location and has a good density of loot, chests, and weapons.
Since the place is exactly in the middle of the map, you can head to almost anywhere else on the island from here and have many options for your further actions in the game.
The location of this place also ensures that there will likely always be someone landing here, and if you enjoy early action, you can quickly grab some first kills. But don’t overdo it, and rather retreat to other POIs if half the lobby seems to drop here!
Last but not least, this water-rich place is a good spot for fishing. So if you’re drawn to the fish, feel free to cast your rod once the first opponents are taken down.
Pro
Central on the map
Fish for fishing
Lots of loot
Contra
Often many opponents
Little cover
Sharks can appear
What should you still pay attention to? The central location ensures that you’re rarely alone here. If you want to loot in peace and are not keen on action at the start of the game, you might want to find another POI, like the remote Coral Castle.
As with Coral Castle, it may also happen here that biting sharks show up in the water and nibble on you. This can kill you if you’re not careful and are already weakened by other battles. So be careful here if a treacherous fin peeks out of the water.
Also problematic: The POI is quite flat and offers little natural cover. So if you don’t have much material for building yet, you might be defenseless in the open and get shot down. Make sure your opponents don’t surprise you and take you in crossfire.
Insider Tip – House East of Craggy Cliff
Where is the place? East of Craggy Cliff, located right at the southern curve of the road, is a house on a hill. It is also worth a visit.

What is so good about it? This inconspicuous place is remote and surely won’t be frequented by a large number of opponents. You will find a considerable number of chests and other loot there.
Especially in the basement, there are Slurp barrels, resources for mining, and always a bit of gold in the mattresses.
Behind one of the shelves in the basement, there is also a secret door that leads you to a mysterious room with a podium. What it is about will probably be revealed during the season.
Pro
Few Opponents
Decent Loot
Secret Room
Contra
Remote
Secret Room currently non-functional
What should you still pay attention to? The house offers solid but not exceptional loot. It is also far away from the action, and you might be longer on the road when you want to leave.
So much for our top landing spots in Fortnite: Do you have any ideas on where to grab good loot or gain other advantages against opponents in the game? Then let us know in the comments.

In the survival MMO V Rising (PC), you play as a vampire trying to regain your power. To do this, you drain humans and animals and even build your own castle. In a first gameplay video, the development studio now shows what the upcoming game looks like.
What kind of game is this? You awaken naked and powerless in a coffin and must somehow survive and regain your old strength. The new game is developed by Stunlock Studios, who previously created Battlerite and Bloodline Champions.
The premise of V Rising is: You are to become the “next Dracula”. You play as a vampire in an isometric perspective (“viewed from above”) who gains strength by hunting at night while building your own realm.
V Rising combines action gameplay with survival elements. A first gameplay video shows how this is supposed to look.
This is what the gameplay includes: The gameplay showcases your first steps through the dark Gothic world in the style of Bloodborne, as well as the strength of vampires later in the game. Resource gathering will evidently be as important a component as combat and construction.
In the video, you can see a vampire defending against a bear-like beast with a spear, burning in the blazing sun, later raiding a village full of humans, or using magic against giant monsters. There is even a kind of boss fight:

These are the features: Some features were already known in advance. It is known that V Rising offers the following:
Castles as your own bases that you can expand and design as you wish
“Full Loot” – Whoever dies loses everything and must gather it back
Various weapon types and magic for combat
Mounts, including mounted combat
A day-night cycle, where it is safer for you as a vampire at night than during the day
Blood as a resource and a means to receive special buffs
In the gameplay, several new features can be seen, such as the fight against bosses, similar to Valheim or Tribes of Midgard. However, we do not yet know how the fights will look or how many bosses there will be.
On a server, up to 50 people can play cooperatively or against each other. The gameplay shows how some vampires collaborate to raid a village and collect blood.
When and where can I play V Rising? V Rising is set to receive a beta in 2021, for which you can sign up on the website (via playvrising.com). It is still open when exactly the beta and the later release will take place.
So far, V Rising is only expected to be released for PC on Steam. There is currently no information on versions for the various PlayStation and Xbox variants. However, you can find even more exciting survival games for the coming months here on MeinMMO. Check out our article on the subject:
In Pokémon GO today, on September 15th, a raid hour with Vesprit begins. Other places also feature Tobutz and Selfe. We show you everything you need to know about the event, the best counters, and Shinys.
What type of event is this? Every Wednesday evening, a raid hour takes place in Pokémon GO. The special thing about this type of event is that legendary raids start at nearly all gyms in the game. Therefore, you have good chances to battle the legendary bosses.
Today, on September 15th, you will find Vesprit in the raid hour in Europe. In other locations, Tobutz and Selfe appear.
Raid hour with Vesprit – Best counters + Shiny
When does it start? The raid hour begins at 6:00 PM and usually ends around 7:00 PM. Prior to the start, dark raid eggs will appear at the gyms, announcing the upcoming raids.
What are the best counters? Vesprit is a Psychic type and is therefore weak against Dark, Ghost, and Bug-type moves. Below, we show you some Pokémon that can effectively assist you in the raid against Vesprit.
Giratina (Altered Forme) with Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball
Skelabra with Charge Beam and Shadow Ball
Snibunna with Howl and Leech Life
Mewtwo with Confusion or Psycho Cut and Shadow Ball
Can you catch Shiny Vesprit? Yes! You can now catch the Shinies of the Lake Trio. This raid hour can really be special for you if you find a shiny version.
Vesprit, Selfe, and Tobutz normal (top) and Shiny (bottom)
Worldwide Raids in Pokémon GO for Selfe and Tobutz
What you can do: If you have already caught enough Vesprit and prefer to use the raid hours for Selfe and Tobutz, you can do so with remote raids. This feature allows you to be invited to a raid by friends from all around the world and participate without needing to be near the gym.
Are you participating in today’s raid hour, and which Pokémon from the trio do you want to catch? Let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments and engage with the community. Maybe you’ll also find other players here who can invite you to raids.
