The Trust Taxon QHD is a mid-range webcam that you can buy for just €70 on Amazon. We took a closer look at the webcam and put it through a practical test. The auto-focus and the simple yet effective privacy filter stand out especially. The camera impresses us as a solid upgrade for cheap webcams that some people hastily purchased during the pandemic.
Why did I get the camera? Although I have been online for over 20 years and have been making money from it for several years, I was a “voice chat” refuser for the first 10 years and only communicated through writing with others in my MMORPGs. I even boycotted webcams for 20 years.
However, with Corona, the time came when a webcam became absolutely necessary as more and more video conferences sprinkled into my daily life. The problem: The market for webcams was completely wiped out in May 2020 and I got one of the few webcams that even appeared on Amazon: A cheap thing that quickly hit its limits. Back then, I paid €55 for this mediocre camera from a no-name manufacturer; today it would be available for €25.
An “PostIdent” procedure was not possible with my old webcam, the image of the ID card simply did not come into focus, and the lady on the other end quickly capitulated. Thanks to the auto-focus of the Trust Taxon QHD, I can now identify myself online by holding up my ID card. The camera captures documents like the ID card in razor-sharp quality once the auto-focus has locked in the image.
The Trust Taxon is a solid webcam in the mid-price segment.
What I used the webcam for: I used the webcam solely for video conferences. It was absolutely trouble-free and easy to use.
The Trust Taxon works on a “plug & play” principle: There is no additional software to install.
The video mode of the camera should also suffice for “good enough for home use” videos on Twitch or YouTube if 30 FPS is enough for you. However, you must pay attention to choosing the right color and light combination in the room, as the auto-focus can make you appear too dark or too bright. Ambitious streamers might want to look for a dedicated streamer cam.
How the installation of the Taxon went: The installation is straightforward. The camera can be plugged into the computer or laptop. If you want a more professional look, you can also mount the camera on a tripod, but that has to be purchased separately.
The camera connects with a 2-meter-long USB 2.0 cable directly to the computer and weighs about 127 grams. The dimensions are 50mm in height, 90mm in width, and 65mm in depth.
There is also a built-in microphone, but “speaking through the webcam” is considered a medium-level offense.
What’s up with the paranoia? A little gag of the webcam: There is a sliding switch on the webcam that simply closes the lens. This way, you can be sure that no image is being transmitted, as the camera simply sees nothing.
This is particularly interesting for people who are afraid of being spied on through some programs that turn off the LED light on the webcam to signal “You’re not sending”, but still show everything. Even if you need to do something quickly that others shouldn’t see, the mechanical slide works to go “dark”.
A mechanical sliding switch provides security with one hand movement.
An upgrade for security-conscious home office workers
This is my conclusion: The Trust Taxon QHD webcam is a solid mid-range webcam for people who want or need to attend video conferences and are looking for a camera that showcases them well, but do not want to spend much time on settings or assembly.
The webcam works well “out of the box” and should comfortably meet the needs of most users.
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
The camera can be plugged in and it works. The image is sharp, though sometimes a little shaky.
Especially the privacy filter is a clever solution for anyone who wants to ensure that only the person who should see them actually does so.

The E3 trailer for S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: Heart Of Chernobyl was received quite well. However, the release is still some time away. MeinMMO presents an MMORPG that has good reviews on Steam and strongly resembles the post-apocalyptic shooter: This is Will To Live Online.
What are the similarities to Stalker? Like Stalker, Will To Live Online has a post-apocalyptic setting and an open world where you roam through forests and deserted ruins. Here too, the main focus is on the struggle for survival.
You will face numerous threats such as monsters, fight against hunger and thirst, and explore the game world at the same time. Like in Stalker, you pursue a proper main storyline. If you still don’t know Stalker 2: Heart of Chernobyl, you should check out the E3 trailer that strongly resembles the Metro series.
The graphic style of “Will To Live” also strongly resembles games like Stalker or Metro, even if the quality cannot compete with that of Stalker 2 or Metro Exodus. Will To Live comes from indie developer AlphaSoft LLC and has been in Early Access on Steam since 2018.
Here you can find a trailer for the game:

These are the differences to Stalker: Will To Live is an MMORPG and accordingly has some typical MMO features. For example, you will encounter other players and will have to fight them for resources.
There are also factions you can join. In addition, you choose one of 4 classes at the beginning of the game:
Mercenary
Miner
Hunter
Engineer
In contrast to Stalker 2, which will be released as a full-price title, the MMORPG is a Free2Play title, so it can be played for free. However, this was not always the case. Will To Survive switched to a F2P model only in 2019. But what is Will To Live Online really worth? We took a look at the Steam reviews for you.
Reviews of Will To Live on Steam are mostly positive
This is how the game is rated on Steam: Since its Early Access release in 2018, Will To Live has received 9,165 ratings. Of these, 6,732 are around 73% positive, while 2,437 are negative.
Overall, the MMORPG shooter is positively received by players. Nevertheless, there is also criticism. While some positively note that you do not reach the endgame very quickly, others find the game too grind-heavy.
It really depends on your expectations and demands. Here we have collected some voices for you:
“Considering that I’ve been playing this game for 343 hours and I’m at level 30 (the maximum level is 45) and I still enjoy playing it… I will give this game a solid 8/10.” – Kausemus (via steampowered.com)
“I’ve seen some negative comments, this is bad and that is bad and the game is bad, etc. But as a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. fan, it was my duty to try out all similar games. […] The game is great, I was addicted after 30 minutes and that rarely happens to me, the graphics are good, the mechanics are good, everything is good and it seems ‘for now’ polished! Except for the UI, that could be better. But hey, the game is Early Access, and it doesn’t even feel like it’s Early Access […]. Can’t wait to see the final version!” – Lycanaes (via steampowered.com)
“I used to like the game. Now it is filled with cheaters and the community has become very toxic. It is an open world with PvP, I understand that. But in the past, people were happy to meet someone out there and would try to talk things out before opening fire. No more – you get sniped by cheaters with starter pistols.” – [CA]deusex2 (via steampowered.com)
“This game was really fun for a while. It has a very unique style, even though it’s a clone of Stalker. I’ve never really played a survival game like this and it has a lot of potential, but unfortunately, that is overshadowed by its bugs.” – Cruility (via steampowered.com)
Therefore, we have identified some pros and cons for you that are frequently mentioned:
Pro
Exploring the game world
The scope
Easy entry
Oppressive atmosphere
Free
Contra
Some bugs
Lots of grind
Monotonous quests
New update brings another map to explore
What has been happening in Will To Live recently? Just recently, there was a new patch that brought a number of new content to the MMOPRG.
This includes a new location called “Testing Ground” and new items for the crafting system. There are also healing grenades for all classes now and an improved clan system. Players who are already in the endgame can look forward to an increased level cap – the maximum level is now 50.
Who is Will to Live worth it for? Anyone who enjoys post-apocalyptic scenarios, wants to experience fast shooter clashes, but also loves MMORPG features, should check out the game.

The MMORPG RuneScape celebrated its release on iOS and Android on June 17, 2021. What does the mobile version of the classic offer?
This is RuneScape: RuneScape is a true cornerstone of MMORPGs and was originally released in 2021 for PC. It has since been revised multiple times, but still features a vast fantasy world called Gielinor that you navigate through. There, you explore dungeons together and upgrade your equipment. A strong emphasis is placed on interaction with other players.
Now the new mobile version of the complete MMORPG RuneScape follows. It was released for iOS and Android on June 17.
RuneScape Mobile – What’s inside and who is it for?
This is what the mobile version offers: The new version of RuneScape is a complete variant of the original game that you can play on your smartphone. All content available in the PC version should also be present on iOS and Android. The entire game world is included, you can master all the skills of the original and challenge bosses.
In RuneScape, you can explore the open world and improve yourself in a progression system without fixed classes. For example, you have the opportunity to embark on adventures where you stop cultists or visit a monastery.
Or you can take on the fight with a troll horde that has occupied a mine. Alternatively, you can dive into the crafting and trading of items.
What it all looks like is shown in a mobile trailer:

This is what RuneScape should look like on the smartphone
Is there crossplay? Yes, crossplay is supported. This means: If you play on your phone, you can also encounter PC players. Furthermore, it is possible to switch seamlessly between the PC and mobile versions – your progress will be carried over.
Who is the mobile version for? Those who are already familiar with RuneScape will also find their way around in the mobile version. If you are a veteran of the game and just want to check it out on the small screen or while on the go, this should not cause much trouble.
However, there has already been some criticism in the community, for example on reddit, that the menus on the smartphone might be a bit small (via reddit). Additionally, the login at launch was somewhat bumpy, with connection problems that the developers are working on.
Newcomers who want to try out an MMO can also engage with the mobile version of RuneScape. There is a newly designed tutorial for beginners, as developers Ryan Ward and Matt Casey explained in an interview with Techradar (via TechRadar).
This is called the “Davendale” tutorial and is said to be noticeably shorter than previous tutorial versions in RuneScape. This way, players can get into the game faster than in the PC version.
The character creation has also been adjusted to get players into the game as quickly as possible on mobile: “That has really been streamlined,” say the developers. So, if you’re looking for a quick peek into the game, you should find what you need here.
What does the future look like? In the interview with TechRadar, the developers hinted that the Nintendo Switch could be an interesting new target for RuneScape: “But the goal, or the message, is that I want Runescape everywhere,” Ward said.
Additionally, it is conceivable to release upcoming content in a season model to tell the story of RuneScape in more digestible pieces: “We’ve just started the initial story arc of the Urgoddesses in the game, and this constitutes a kind of seasonal narrative. It will carry on with episodic pieces of content that will be released over a longer period, and we want the game to fall into this rhythm.”
So, if you want to try out an MMORPG or test the classic RuneScape on the go, you could get a lot of content here – even in the future.

Since June 10, there have been Import/Export bonuses in GTA Online. You can still take advantage of these bonuses for another week to earn some extra dollars through vehicle theft. Moreover, Rockstar is causing speculation as there was no new “Weekly Update”. MeinMMO summarizes the news for you.
What do the Import/Export bonuses bring? It’s all about stealing vehicles. To do this, you need to complete vehicle delivery missions. Depending on how many vehicles you acquire, you’ll earn more money.
For acquiring 5 or more vehicles, you receive 250,000 GTA$.
For 10 or more, you even get 500,000 dollars.
How long will this bonus last? You have until June 24 to grab the Import/Export bonus. Your money will be transferred to your Maze Bank account no later than June 30.
Are there no bonuses this week? It seems that Rockstar has canceled the “Weekly Update” for this week. But why?
The car trade is worth it this week.
Where is the Weekly Update? Players hope for exciting news
What are the players speculating? The fact that the Import/Export bonus lasts for two weeks and that there are no new bonuses this week has led to speculation. Some believe there might be more to it. On Twitter, there are now four theories that have emerged from the speculation:
It has something to do with the NextGen consoles of GTA Online
But it could also just be nothing or something completely different behind it.
What is the NextGen version of GTA Online? This is the “Expanded and Enhanced” version. This is supposed to bring a significant upgrade for the PS5 and Xbox Series versions of GTA Online. However, Rockstar has remained tight-lipped so far, and there are no images available yet.
When is the release? The “Expanded and Enhanced” versions of GTA 5 and GTA Online will be released on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 11, 2021.
When can we expect the update? So far, no exact date is known. However, it is quite possible that there will be news in the near future.
In a survey conducted by the fan account RedDeadNet (via Twitter) with 483 users participating, around 37.5% do not believe that new information about any DLCs will be released.
What do you think? Could there soon be news about either of the two games? What would you wish for? Discuss with us in the comments.

Razer unveiled its new Razer Blade 14 at E3. With this, Razer aims to offer not only the “thinnest” but also the “most powerful 14-inch notebook in the world.” MeinMMO has taken a look at how the notebook is rated.
With the Razer Blade 14, Razer claims to have introduced the “thinnest” and the “most powerful 14-inch notebook in the world.” The most expensive version contains a Ryzen 5900 HX and a mobile version of the GeForce RTX 3080.
Prices start at $1799 (€1999) and go up to nearly $3000. The cheapest configuration comes with an RTX 3060.
By now, the first people have been able to test the new Razer Blade 14 with AMD processor. And the initial experiences are quite positive. However, there is also criticism of the new device, especially regarding a possible upgrade of the RAM.
MeinMMO has reviewed the first impressions and experiences of users regarding the new Razer Blade 14 and summarizes them for you in this article.
Various views of the Razer Blade 14.
IGN: Powerful 14-inch laptop, but noisy under load
Nico Rego from “IGN Middleeast” has already been able to test the new Razer Blade 14 (via me.ign.com). In his review, Rego praises especially the good and sleek design of the laptop.
There is also praise for the good display. Colors look nice, and games, movies, and videos look crisp. The keyboard is also a good companion for everyday use.
In idle mode, the device is quiet and calm, but under load, the fans ramp up and can become uncomfortably loud. The battery life is around 9 hours, which is acceptable.
Criticism mainly arises for the lack of an Ethernet port. While the tester explains he had no issues gaming online, he still recommends an Ethernet dongle for the best gaming performance. Nico Rego is not very impressed with the built-in camera. The image is very grainy and hardly usable without additional lighting.
Reddit is buzzing with discussions about the new Razer Blade 14
Reddit users are also discussing the new gaming laptop (via reddit.com). The tester from IGN had offered to answer user questions on Reddit. Here, some users, who have also purchased the device, are chiming in.
However, on Reddit, you should note that these are not professional testers and you should take their statements with caution.
What about the battery life? Many are pleasantly surprised by the battery life of around 9 hours. Some had expected significantly worse battery lives for a gaming notebook. 9 hours of battery life for web surfing, YouTube, emails, and writing is a reasonable duration.
What about the RAM? Some on Reddit are disappointed with the limited RAM. Both the Razer Blade Stealth and the Razer Book also utilize a 16-GB configuration.
What about the display? There are also several questions about the display. The tester responds that he is mostly satisfied with the display:
The screen is pretty decent; you won’t get Macbook brightness or clarity, but overall, it’s not a bad panel if you want to work or play. The matte finish can be a bit frustrating when a bright light source shines at an angle, but otherwise, it works well. Unfortunately, I have no way to measure nits, otherwise, I would have.
How loud and hot is the gaming laptop? In idle mode (writing, browsing), the device’s fans are barely noticeable and not disturbing. However, during gaming, the temperatures rise significantly:
Maximum temperatures while gaming were CPU at 88C, GPU at 76C. I checked both in the BIOS and in the Radeon settings and couldn’t find a way to allow only the dedicated GPU [DGPU].
In another Reddit post, there is criticism regarding the temperature (via reddit.com). Under load, the device gets very hot and loud. However, the high temperature can be reduced by turning off the CPU turbo boost or undervolting the processor.
I know some won’t like the idea of turning off the CPU turbo boost, but without the ability to undervolt the processor, it will be difficult to keep [the laptop] cool.
YouTuber “Dave2D” (via YouTube.com) has also had the chance to try out the laptop. He describes the device as a well-equipped package that offers a lot of power in a slim case.
Dave2D criticizes mainly the decision to solder the RAM. While it saves space, this is a poor decision for users who want to upgrade later. There is also criticism that Razer does not offer a 32-GB configuration out of the box.

YouTuber “Matthew Moniz” compared the new device with the ASUS G14 (via YouTube.com). In his preview, the YouTuber praises the good display, which offers nice colors and decent brightness.
However, Moniz only has a prototype, so he cannot perform performance tests. The ASUS G14 offers similar performance but is slightly lighter (1.63 kg vs 1.72 kg). While Moniz only has a prototype, he explains in his video that you should watch his review of the G14: “If you watch my review of the G14, you can imagine the performance.”
The hard drive and the Wi-Fi card can be replaced in the device, but he is not satisfied with the soldered RAM.

The biggest criticism of the Razer Blade 14 remains the RAM
This is the testers’ opinion: Overall, all testers are quite impressed with the new Razer Blade 14. You get plenty of power in a slim device. The device is compact and easy to take with you.
The device offers a vibrant and bright display and impressive gaming performance. The price is quite reasonable for the hardware if you are willing to pay over 2000 euros for a gaming laptop.
However, there is also criticism: Some YouTubers like Dave2D complain that you cannot expand the 16 GB of RAM and that Razer does not offer a configuration with 32 GB. The poor webcam, which is unsuitable for streaming, and the missing Ethernet port are also criticized.
Weeks before the upcoming Pokémon GO Fest on July 17 and 18, 2021, the first images of the costumed Pokémon have now been released. We have summarized what the costumes look like and what the community thinks about it.
But other Pokémon such as Galar-Ponita, Galar-Zigzachs, Gardevoir, and Libelldra are also expected to be found in costume on that day. As reported by the Dutch online magazine NWTV on their site, there were first sightings of the new costumes in an advertisement for the Go Fest 2021 (via nwtv.nl). Now the first images of the costumed Pokémon are being shared on Reddit.
Here’s what the costumes for the GO Fest 2021 look like
In the images that are being shared on Reddit, there are costumed Galar-Ponita, Galar-Zigzachs, Gardevoir, and Libelldra visible. At first glance, all the Pokémon appear completely normal, and the costumes are hardly noticeable.
New costumes for the GO Fest 2021 (Image source: nwtv.nl)
However, upon closer examination, it becomes apparent that all four Pokémon are wearing the same cream-colored hats. No other costume adornments are visible in these images. Compared to costumes that Niantic has released in the past, these seem rather dull and boring.
What the community says about the costumes for the Pokémon Go Fest 2021
The community has clear words regarding the costumes. For instance, Reddit user denleeve states that he finds it simply embarrassing and cannot understand how a profitable company like Niantic cannot afford decent 3D designers (via reddit.com).
Other users express their disappointment on Reddit. Huskerfan4life520 writes that he had no expectations but was still disappointed. Trainer WolfGuy77, on the other hand, shares on Reddit: “No. I didn’t get a shiny Galar-Zigzachs last time. I don’t want one with a silly hat that can’t evolve” (via reddit.com).
There have been past instances where costumed Pokémon could not evolve in the game. For example, the costumed Pikachu from the Halloween event 2020 could not evolve into a Raichu. However, this does not apply universally to all costumed Pokémon. If costumed evolutions are also available in the game, evolution is possible too.
Whether you can evolve the costumed Pokémon at the Pokémon GO Fest 2021 is not officially known yet. As soon as there is confirmed information about this, we will inform you here at MeinMMO.

On Amazon, there are fake reviews that promise interested buyers a good product. Amazon has now deleted over 200 million of these false reviews, and there is no end in sight.
Reviews and ratings hold a high value for buyers. Because people report their experiences with the purchased product.
Buyers tell what they like or why they bought a product.
But they also report if there are problems or descriptions do not match the product.
Reviews therefore have an important significance in the Amazon cosmos. Because customer reviews seem more trustworthy than, for example, product descriptions from manufacturers who want to present their device positively or product images that might be altered.
Here lies the problem: Even fraudsters know that reviews have a high value and exploit this trustworthiness. They pay people to give their product a positive rating, even if the product has flaws and issues.
As early as May 2021, there was a major leak showing that more than 200,000 people were engaging in “unethical practices” on Amazon and deliberately deceiving customers (via safetydetectives.com).
Amazon sellers lure people with the offer of free products in exchange for a review. Some customers probably do not think about the far-reaching effects that fake reviews can have or that they might be violating Amazon’s terms of service.
Meanwhile, the fraudsters have also started publishing their fake reviews outside of Amazon. Especially social networks are popular here to advertise products. Amazon has now released a comprehensive statement on this.
Amazon deleted more than 200 million fake reviews in 2020
This is what happened: Amazon has now released a statement saying: We deleted 200 million fake reviews last year (via about.amazon.com). Many of these fake reviews are said to have never been seen by Amazon customers, but were detected by the system beforehand.
According to the statement, they have more than 300 million active users who shop on Amazon daily. 200 million fake reviews seem to be a significant blow against fraudsters targeting customer money.
Additionally, they want to combat further fake reviews:
On one hand, they want to take further measures to stop fake reviews.
Furthermore, they want to prevent the fraudsters from benefiting from such reviews at the expense of customers. For this purpose, they shut down the accounts of the fraudsters.
What about social networks? Amazon stated that they are tackling this with “a range of techniques, including advanced machine learning”, but it is much more difficult to combat such fake reviews outside of their own system.
How exactly this works was not detailed. However, the company made it clear that it cannot do it without other companies. After all, these providers are also responsible for allowing fraudsters to roam on their sites:
We need social media companies whose services are used to facilitate fake reviews to proactively invest in fraud and fake review controls, work with us to stop these bad actors, and help consumers shop with confidence.
And this “cooperation” seems to be quite successful, according to the figures Amazon itself mentions:
According to Amazon, in the first three months of 2020, they reported over 300 groups. Social media companies took an average of 45 days to respond.
In the first three months of 2021, they reported over 1000 groups. Other companies took an average of 5 days to suspend these groups.
If Amazon develops an effective method to sensibly reduce the misuse of user reviews in the long term, it could also prove beneficial for other platforms and shops.
Not only Amazon has a problem with such reviews; other providers are also affected.
Other providers are also affected by such false reviews
What is review bombing? Such “review bombing” is now flagged by Steam for games and is no longer counted in the overall rating. This refers to reviews written en masse for a specific reason that have little to do with the actual game.
The new Season 4 of Call of Duty is online and starts with a small live event for the Battle Royale Warzone and Black Ops Cold War. MeinMMO shows you the solution with the rewards for the event.
What kind of event is this? With the “Crash” or “Ground Fall” event, the ongoing background story of Black Ops Cold War and Call of Duty: Warzone is supposed to come more into focus for the players. The nasty new operator “Jackal” causes the crash of two American satellites. One of them crashes over Verdansk.
This creates 4 new locations on the map, but also the basis for the crash event in Warzone. In Cold War, there are also tasks related to the new content in the game. Overall, you can secure 7 cosmetic rewards if you complete all tasks. The event is already active, and MeinMMO shows you how to complete the tasks. You can complete the event tasks until next Thursday, June 24, at 7:00 PM.
Crash Event in Warzone – Solution to the 3 Tasks
The 3 tasks are all related to the satellite crash in Warzone, and you should use the new mechanics that are now in the game. Therefore, it is not immediately clear what you are actually supposed to do. What is certain is that you must solve all tasks in regular “Battle Royale” matches – Plunder does not work.
You need to find and capture Uplink stations. The stations can be found all over Verdansk, but there is no guaranteed spawn point. According to initial reports, however, the spawn points are fixed. One station near the small roundabout settlement in the south near Hills appears always at the same point – but not in every match.
Look around carefully in your matches and pay attention to the stations. Capturing takes about 15 seconds. We will embed a map with possible locations of the Uplink stations here:

Task 2: Secure Firewall – Eliminate 10 enemies near an active Uplink Station or a recently crashed satellite.
Once you have activated the Uplink Station, a round reception antenna unfolds, and the station is activated. When the station is in this state, you must eliminate enemies nearby. This also applies to crashed satellites that fall from the sky after capturing the Uplink stations. More about that in the next task paragraph.
Task 3: Secure the Crash Site – Collect 3 rewards from crashed satellites
When you secure a Uplink Station, you initiate a satellite crash over Verdansk. Listen carefully and look at the sky to find out where the satellite is falling from the sky – or rather where it is falling. Then run to the damaged piece of technology and interact with the crashed satellite. This gives loot and advances you in the task. Players report that the satellites often drop “H.A.R.M.” killstreaks. These are particularly strong reconnaissance drones that reveal many enemies on the map for you.

The hardest to solve is task number 2. Eliminating 10 enemies near such stations can be quite difficult and time-consuming.
If you want to watch the solutions for the tasks again in a video, we will embed an English guide from the YouTuber “Mr Fishy McFish” here:

The other 3 tasks must be completed in the Multiplayer mode of Cold War. Here, too, everything revolves around the introduction of the innovations in the game. You need to collect kills on the new maps or use the new scorestreak “Hand Cannon”.
Task 1: Global Network – Achieve 250 eliminations in matches on the maps Collateral, Collateral Strike, Hijacked, or Amsterdam.
You need to simply collect kills on the new maps. At the start of the season, the mode “Hijacked 24/7” is online – this should go the fastest. Grab the new scorestreak “Hand Cannon” to also work on Task 3 from Cold War.
Task 2: Uplink Online – Earn 1,000 points from captured Uplink Stations in the “Sat-Link” mode
Sat-Link is a new fireteam mode where you take over satellites as a 4-member team and earn points. Each captured satellite gives points, and there are items that increase point output. The maximum for a round is 500 points from the satellites. So you need at least 2 rounds to complete the task.
Task 3: Big Caliber – Achieve 15 kills with the Hand Cannon scorestreak
Grab the new scorestreak and go hunting. The Hand Cannon is a nasty pistol that can take out enemies with a single shot in regular multiplayer matches. It doesn’t matter whether the bullet hits the head or the little toe. Furthermore, the weapon is strong against deployed scorestreaks on the ground – like the turret. The Hand Cannon costs 2,800 points, offers 8 shots, and has a cooldown of 90 seconds.
Crash Rewards: 6 Thematic Cosmetics and a Crazy Hand Cannon
Overall, you can obtain 7 free cosmetics by completing all tasks. Each task gives a reward, and when you complete the 3 rewards of a game, there is a colorful blueprint for the Magnum on top. Therefore, you don’t need to play both games to get the blueprint.
Warzone Rewards
Task 1: Secure Uplinks – Talisman
Task 2: Land Kills – Calling Card
Task 3: Loot Satellites – Emblem
Cold War Rewards
Task 1: Land Kills – Emblem
Task 2: Play Sat-Link – Arcade Game
Task 3: Rock the Hand Cannon – Calling Card
The first 3 rewards are for Cold War, the 3 on the right for Warzone.
Call of Duty launches Season 4 again with a small live event that is related to the story. However, the crash event only runs for about 7 days, and you should tackle the tasks quickly if you like the rewards.
If you have any tips on how to complete the tasks in the game faster, please feel free to share your knowledge with us and other readers in the comments here on MeinMMO.
Lost Light is an upcoming Mobile shooter for smartphones and tablets. The game offers a lot of depth, hard-hitting action, and harsh consequences for defeats. If this reminds you of the hardcore shooter Escape from Tarkov, then you’re in the right place. We at MeinMMO spoke with the developers about the specifics of the game.
What is Lost Light? Lost Light is an upcoming shooter for Android and iOS devices. The publisher is the Chinese publishing giant NetEase. In Lost Light, you fight as part of the “Firefly Squad” in a secured area that is filled with dangers.
But there is also valuable loot to be found there, and therefore you fight both for survival and against other players and AI bots for the best loot. Once you have collected enough, you must escape with the loot because if you lose, you lose everything! This resembles the gameplay of Escape from Tarkov.
According to the developers, you can also recruit defeated opponents into your team, thereby increasing your chances of getting good loot. We asked the developers in an interview how all of this is supposed to work and what features Lost Light will still have.
We then spoke with Haowen Huang, Lead Producer of Lost Light.
The Gameplay in Lost Light
MeinMMO: Is the game more competitive or cooperative?
Haowen Huang: I don’t think these two words could concretely describe what Lost Light is. Since it is based on a war setting, there is naturally competitive gameplay as players will fight against others and the environment to survive.
To survive, they must also cooperate and work with others. That’s why we’ve built in some cooperative settings. For example, two players can team up in combat. If one player defeats an opponent in battle, they can choose to spare the opponent and form a temporary team to survive together until the final extraction.
The game is full of such decisions. Different choices made by the player lead to different outcomes and player experiences.
You can also turn opponents into allies.
MeinMMO: Do these temporary allies still have to kill each other in the end, or can both win?
Haowen Huang: Yes. As I mentioned before, you can temporarily form a team with a competitor by performing a revival or accepting one.
Both you and the former competitor can “win” if you survive together. That’s the core difference from other battle royale games. Instead of eliminating all your competitors to be the last man standing, the goal of this game is to get the best loot and keep it until the end.
MeinMMO: Are there PvE elements? Like AI opponents or bots?
Haowen Huang: Yes, there are. Some of the opponents of the Firefly Squad will be bots. We will be adding more PvE elements in the future, stay tuned.
MeinMMO: What weapons can we expect in the game and how will modifications and upgrades work?
Haowen Huang: There are already several weapon types, such as assault rifles, shotguns, SMGs, and sniper rifles. These weapons are just part of our large arsenal.
Except for the standard pistol, the game allows players to modify their firearms. There are 12 modification parts that players can choose from, like barrels, grips, scopes, and stocks. There are also several different parts for each modification slot. Players can utilize hundreds of different weapon mods. This level of weapon modification is still relatively rare in mobile games.
We also have a “Blueprint System” for those who are not familiar with the modification options. Players can select the recommended modification plans from the developers based on the combat environment and weapon preferences and quickly equip them.
Weapons can be upgraded in various ways.
MeinMMO: How long does a round in Lost Light typically last?
Haowen Huang: The gameplay duration varies between 10 and 20 minutes. A match ends when the player successfully extracts or is killed. If a player chooses to avoid combat and focuses on finding loot on the map, it is possible to finish a match in five minutes on a smaller map like the BAF factory. If players want more, the game could of course take longer, as it involves more conflicts and complex battles with NPCs and competitors.
MeinMMO: How does it work with survival elements, like hunger and injuries? Are they just buffs or can you die from hunger or untreated wounds?
Haowen Huang: For example, if you jump from a hill, you will break your leg, and the status “Broken Leg” will be displayed, reducing your walking speed. You can only return to a healthy state with the right medicine. As in real life, anyone suffering from too much hunger or losing too much blood will die.
If you die, you lose almost everything.
MeinMMO: Do you only lose the equipment found in the round when you die, or is everything you had from the beginning lost?
Haowen Huang: The latter. However, each player can carry a “Secure Case” (in various sizes) with them; supplies in the case do not get lost when you die. So if you have a high-value item, it’s advisable to place it in the Secure Case.
MeinMMO: Is the hideout just a menu for inventory and shop, or an interactive base with housing?
Haowen Huang: It is a scene where you can walk around or interact. In the future, we will expand it with more customizable and collectible features.
MeinMMO: What types of players are your target audience?
Haowen Huang: All players interested in shooters are welcome, especially those who prefer strategy, survival, and progression gameplay. Lost Light aims to immerse players in a “realistic war experience.”
MeinMMO: What kinds of microtransactions will there be?
Haowen Huang: We have considered a paid outfit system, battle passes, etc. However, they are still in the planning stage. Stay tuned!

Why is the trailer interesting: On the one hand, the original actor of Ash Williams, Bruce Campbell, takes on the role of the narrator and personally presents the game.

The launched Season 7 in Fortnite brought new alien artifacts into the game. We will show you what you need the items for and where to find them in the 2nd week of the season here.
The special thing about Kymera is that the skin can be extensively customized. Among other things, you can customize the head, hair, eyes, skin, and armor of the alien. But for this, you need alien artifacts. You can find them either scattered across the island or as content from cosmic chests.
Here you can find alien artifacts in the 2nd week
To unlock the Kymera styles, you need a whole lot of alien artifacts. However, the locations of these special items have changed since last week on the Season 7 map. We will show you where they are now in the 2nd week of Season 7.
To get the alien artifacts, you just need to go to the location and collect them while passing by. Therefore, you don’t need to perform a special interaction – this is especially convenient when you have nasty opponents who want to shoot you while you collect.
Here you can find the alien artifacts in the 2nd week
Northwest of Believer Beach at the research station
Northeast of Pleasant Park, outside a lonely cabin
South of Corny Complex by the wooden bridge
Northwest of Retail Row at the original “The Grotto” – the container is located at the upper water basin
North of Misty Meadow on the small island in a building

Since 4 alien artifacts are contained per find, you should have a total of 20 alien artifacts if you visit all 5 locations. With this, you can definitely unlock one of the cool styles for the alien.
If you prefer to unlock another skin from the Battle Pass, you need a lot of experience points and Battle Pass stars. To help you gather these faster, we have tips on how to quickly reach level 100.

In Call of Duty: Cold War and CoD Warzone Season 4 brings numerous opportunities to customize your soldier according to your wishes. We clarify what highlights are hidden in the new Battle Pass of Season 4 and what you can get completely for free.
What’s going on in CoD? On July 17th, the new Season 4 kicked off in Warzone and Cold War. Update 1.38 not only brought many changes to the shooters but also a brand new Battle Pass. MeinMMO shows you what eye-catchers await you and whether the cosmetics and new weapons are worth it for you.
This is what to expect in the new Battle Pass:
As with every season, there is a fresh Battle Pass. Here, you can find 100 tiers that bring you cosmetics, weapons, blueprints, and also boosters.
You automatically level up through EP, that is experience points. You can earn EP by playing and completing challenges.
The good news is: Even if you don’t buy the pass, you can still level it up and unlock some items. If you choose to buy the pass later, you’ll keep the levels you achieved.
How much does the Battle Pass cost? In-game, you can get the pass for 1,000 CoD points (approximately 10 Euros). If you earned CoD points from the seasons, you can use them for payment. Alternatively, you can also purchase the “Battle Pass + 20 Tiers” bundle for 2,400 CoD points. The pass contains a total of 1,300 CoD points – those who are diligent will recoup the costs.
What’s included in the Season 4 Battle Pass
You get the following right at the start: Those who purchase the Battle Pass will receive some nice cosmetics right from the start. These include:
Legendary Operator Skin “Wartime Camouflage” for Jackal

New Weapons: Season 4 introduces several new weapons to the game. Through the Battle Pass, every player can unlock 2 of them – completely free just by leveling up:
MG 82 – Machine Gun (at Level 15): This new MG has the highest fire rate in its class while maintaining moderate damage and recoil as well as increased ammo capacity.
C58 – Assault Rifle (at Level 31): This is a new assault rifle with a low fire rate and relatively small magazines, but it has high damage at close range and high bullet velocity.
More about the 5 new guns can be found here on MeinMMO
These are the highlights: Among the absolute eye-catchers of the Battle Pass are the extravagant weapon skins, which conveniently come in blueprint form, allowing you to unlock the weapon and a few attachments as well. Of course, the operators in their new look are a highlight.

This is what you get at Tier 100 in the Battle Pass
Is the Battle Pass worth it for me? If you spend a lot of time in Warzone or the multiplayer modes of Cold War and Modern Warfare, you can’t go wrong with the pass (you can’t use the contents in Modern Warfare). It is noticeable that the skins this time come in bright colors – you likely won’t get any tactical advantages from the Battle Pass.
If you are diligent, you will completely recoup the cost of the pass and can buy a new Battle Pass directly next season – you even receive 300 extra points for bad times. But even with the free version, you get some nice cosmetics without costs, and the new weapons are included anyway.
Have you already found a blueprint or skin in the Battle Pass that you are grinding towards? Let us know in the comments.

The battle royale shooter PUBG plans to remain relevant in the genre in 2021 with new maps and additional features. What exactly the developers have in mind is revealed here in an exclusive interview.
What changes are coming to PUBG soon? We at MeinMMO have gained insight into the PUBG roadmap. Accordingly, the developers are planning two new maps, each featuring a new aspect. One is the map Tiger, which will have respawns, and the other is the map Kiki, which will have particularly diverse terrain. Tiger is set to be released in Q3 2021, while Kiki will be available either at the end of the year or early 2022.
Since we wanted to know more about these upcoming features and other innovations, we asked Creative Director Dave Curd a few questions in an interview.
Two new 8×8 maps – What’s inside
MeinMMO: What are the unique features of Tiger?
Dave Curd: It’s still strictly confidential at the moment, but Tiger will be the first new 8×8 battleground in three years. The map utilizes all the elements of Battlegrounds that you know and love, with one key difference: you will be able to respawn after an initial defeat. We will also be introducing many brand new features that we want to show you soon.
MeinMMO: How exactly will the respawns work?
Dave Curd: We will publish more information about this as the release of Tiger approaches.
MeinMMO: Will there be respawns in other maps as well?
Dave Curd: If you look at our previous releases, you’ll notice a trend toward map-exclusive features. Sanhok had the loot truck, Paramo the evolving battlefield, and Haven the “pillar.” Considering that, the respawning feature will be a Tiger-exclusive feature.
This is a concept of Kiki.
MeinMMO: How will the respawns likely impact eSports in PUBG?
Dave Curd: I can’t speak for our eSports team, but I can say that a lot of data is being considered and a comprehensive review process takes place before our team agrees to add new maps.
Ultimately, it is up to them whether the map and/or feature makes sense for the game, but I trust them completely to make the right decision for the fans and players.
MeinMMO: What are the unique features of Kiki?
Dave Curd: We can’t reveal everything just yet, but what we can say is that Kiki will be one of our most immersive and interactive maps to date – a mix of small areas with dense urban gameplay and the kind of wide open spaces we love about Erangel. We will also be introducing a number of exciting new vehicle and weapon updates, so stay tuned!
PUBG will focus on large maps
MeinMMO: Are the maps based on real-world locations? What was the intended flair?
Dave Curd: Absolutely! While we don’t want to recreate original locations within the PUBG universe, we certainly draw inspiration from all corners of the globe when building our maps.
Tiger is a love letter to Korea, from our developers who hail from there – it’s their way of honoring their homeland. Of course, we have a very close relationship with this country, the birthplace of Battle Royale, and we’re excited to celebrate that relationship through this new map.
Kiki is inspired by Southeast Texas, where water meets land. The theme of climate change is currently on our minds, particularly flooding in certain regions, which led us to create a swampy and flooded area.
The map Tiger is inspired by Korea.
MeinMMO: In early June 2021, the map Miramar was revamped. What role did the community feedback play in that?
Dave Curd: We work with our community to verify and test some of our assumptions about the game and ultimately ensure that the maps behave as we would expect. On our server, we receive millions of playtests, so it’s really helpful to have a clear idea of what works and what doesn’t. For example, we received feedback that the loot was a bit too low, so we decided to adjust that accordingly.
The old and new Miramar.
MeinMMO: The new maps will all be large 8×8 maps. Are smaller maps, like Haven, less important for the future of PUBG?
Dave Curd: I wouldn’t say they are “less important,” but they might feel a bit less “PUBG.” We spent 2020 exploring smaller maps and introducing new features – like AI and a faster pace – and we are now using those experiences to focus on building larger worlds for the PUBG universe.
We love our smaller maps, but the essence of PUBG is larger worlds, as the dynamics and slower pace allow for intense firefights, messing around between battles, and strategically working toward victory.
Powerful items are circulating in WoW Burning Crusade Classic. Streamers have taken advantage of these items – and have not yet been punished.
Although the launch of Burning Crusade Classic, the first expansion of WoW Classic, went relatively smoothly, there have been some issues afterwards. Especially PvP fans are quite angry, as a bug favored players who were particularly fast.
The fastest players now have items that should not even exist yet.
Twitch streamers demonstrate – viewers follow
What happened? With the launch of Burning Crusade Classic, there is also a lot for PvP players to work towards. This includes many items that can be earned through honor points. However, a bug caused vendors in WoW to offer items that should not yet be available. Fast players seized the opportunity and stocked up on these items before Blizzard restricted the vendors’ offerings.
Among the “offenders” were also larger streamers like Bean (via twitch), who showed the error to his viewers, who also took advantage of the items.
The streamer Bean with items he should not actually have.
Which items are we talking about? We are talking about PvP items that should only be available in Season 2. These items have better stats than their Season 1 counterparts, and in some cases, there are even items for other equipment slots that would otherwise not be filled.
The items are somewhat stronger, as they have better stats and will be unattainable in the coming months.
Critics see the integrity of PvP in WoW Classic at risk
What is Blizzard doing? Whether Blizzard will retroactively take the items from players remains to be seen. At least many players are calling for this, as they currently see the integrity of PvP as being at risk.
Even though the advantage may seem small, the accumulation over hundreds of battlegrounds and PvP arenas can lead to better items translating into more victories in the long run.
Community mocks, demands action: Some even call for a punishment for all who purchased the corresponding items. Account suspensions ranging from several days to several months are being demanded here. Others, however, do not find a punishment appropriate, as they see the error lying with Blizzard. One cannot punish players for buying available items from a vendor – even if these players knew that these items were not supposed to be available yet.
Some even sarcastically suggest that the “streamer bonus has taken on entirely new dimensions in 2021”.
More on Burning Crusade Classic on MeinMMO can be found here:
The mildest solution would probably be to take the corresponding items away from the players and refund the currency spent.
Since Blizzard has not done this yet, it remains doubtful whether this will happen or if players will simply be allowed to keep their items. Perhaps the developers are currently gathering data on who owns such items in order to remove them in a simultaneous action.
How would you proceed in this case? Should players be allowed to keep their items? Or should they definitely be taken away and players punished?

The esports team Team SoloMid has signed a huge deal worth $210 million with a crypto exchange. However, after Riot Games (LoL, Valorant) already raised objections, Ubisoft is now also causing some stress for the team in the shooter Rainbow Six Siege : The players of TSM had to change their name in the middle of the match.
This is the situation:
Team SoloMid receives $210 million from the crypto exchange FTX. In return, they are rebranding themselves to “TSM FTX” among other things. However, the “new name” is already not allowed to be shown in LoL and Valorant – now Ubisoft is causing trouble in Rainbow Six Siege.
After about 5 minutes in the first match as “TSM FTX”, there was a pause for “technical reasons”, after which the players who started with “TSM FTX” only had TSM in their name.
Ubisoft is now reviewing the complex situation, as while the rules cover many “difficult things”, the crypto exchange presents a rule gap.
Team must change names in the middle of the match
This is how the conflict affected reality: Just a few days ago, “TSMFTX” played against Disrupt Gaming. The members of TSM started with the tag “.TSMFTX” in their names. After one round and only a few minutes, there was a “technical problem”.
For about 5 minutes, a “Technical Timeout” was displayed, then the series resumed and the players only had “TSM” as their tag in their names.

Rules against gambling, alcohol, and firearms – but not against cryptocurrency
Which rule is being violated? That’s complicated. In Ubisoft’s official rules for Rainbow Siege, there is a large section 8.6. (via cdn.faceit) detailing what is prohibited regarding “sponsoring”. However, there is no explicit exclusion of cryptocurrency.
Among other things, the following are prohibited:
Alcoholic products, especially spirits and beer, or substances that are prohibited by law (like cannabis)
Tobacco, cigarette, or even e-cigarettes
Firearms
Gambling
Pornography
Prescription medications
Political campaigns
ESports or video game tournaments, leagues, or events
And in principle, anything that Ubisoft might have a problem with: Something that “goes against the interests or reputation of Ubisoft”, including but not limited to key sellers, hackers, botters, or sellers of in-game currency.
This is what TSM says: They say they are currently working with Ubisoft on a solution regarding whether they can use the names in official streams. The decision has not yet been made.
The contract between TSM and the crypto exchange explicitly covered the games of Riot Games, Valorant, and League of Legends. It was clear that TSM would not play as TSM FTX in official streams. With Rainbow Six Siege and Ubisoft, they apparently hoped it would work out.
The head of TSM had already stated that it was okay not to show the name in the official streams for LoL and Valorant. However, they wanted to appear as TSM FTX on the players’ and team’s “social media” channels. This way, they still have a higher reach than the official channels.
Cryptocurrency and gaming seem to be coming together more frequently in recent months:
Stepping on a body scanner is a challenge in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 7. This challenge is part of the Week 2 Challenges and rewards XP for your Battle Pass.
What is this task? This challenge is one of the Week 2 challenges in Fortnite Season 7. For this, you need to go to a body scanner, which can be found in the IO satellite bases. You can find these relatively inconspicuous devices all over IO buildings, although not always in the same rooms. Some are located in the watch house, others in the larger structures.
Attention: These futuristic platforms should not be confused with the discs also found in the IO bases, which are much larger.
Where to find body scanners?
You can find body scanners at these locations
Where should you search for the body scanners? You will find the body scanners exactly at the locations mentioned above. The challenge is quite easy once you have found the relevant technological device. There is only one real obstacle to completing your challenge here: an overly aggressive opponent player.
In the week following the release of this challenge, it is highly likely that many opponents will be present to try to complete the challenges. So, you should arm yourself as quickly as possible after landing to deal with any attackers.
Another method is to go there much later in the game when the landing battles have faded. This way, there is a lower chance that you will encounter a belligerent player.
One last thing: Be careful of the IO guards protecting these areas. While they are often quite clumsy, their futuristic weapons deal a lot of damage, and they will become hostile upon sight!

Battlefield 2042 was the big topic for shooter fans at E3 2021. Streamers on YouTube and Twitch are also discussing the shooter with their fans. Many are currently playing Call of Duty: Warzone and looking for something new. However, while Twitch streamer Summit1g is already excited about Battlefield 2042, DrDisrespect is a bit complaining.
This is the situation:
At E3, Battlefield 2042 was shown. The first trailer was well received, especially compared to the hated trailer for Battlefield 5. The new Battlefield is supposed to be a purely multiplayer game. EA has also hinted that there could be a Free2Play offshoot, similar to Call of Duty with “Warzone”
Some streamers come from CoD Warzone like DrDisrespect or JGOD: They see a big problem with Battlefield 2042: The game lacks a “Battle Royale” mode and a Free2Play component.
However, there is also excitement: Twitch streamer summit1g is already amazed by the trailer. One feature particularly caught his attention.
summit1g praises feature from Apex Legends
This is what summit1g says: The Twitch streamer and regular broadcaster is very impressed with Battlefield 2042. He is particularly fond of the different “Zip Lines” in the game. He believes that the developers were inspired by Apex Legends.
Summit1g is impressed by the first trailers and says he experiences “post-traumatic stress syndrome” because a building in the game reminds him of the stadium in CoD Warzone.

JGOD believes that Battlefield 2042 must release a battle royale mode in Q1 2022 that is free; otherwise, it would be very difficult to lure fans away from Warzone. Because Battlefield is a full-price game and many find $70 too much for such a title.
DrDisrespect finds fans’ aversion to Battle Royale silly
This is what DrDisrespect says: The Doctor explicitly desires a “Battle Royale” mode for Battlefield. He believes the genre is still growing. Fans have unfairly criticized DICE and EA for the “Firestorm” mode in Battlefield 5.
“Did you see the comments on Twitter about Battlefield 2042? And under the trailer? A lot of people are saying: We don’t want a Battle Royale. Are you stupid? They say “Battle Royale is over” – it’s just beginning!”
Insider shroud knows more again, but remains silent
This is what shroud says: The probably most well-known shooter player on Twitch is Michael “shroud” Grzesiek. He seems to possess insider information about Battlefield 2042.
He says:
“There is definitely more to come that DICE and EA will show. There is a lot more. I’ve said too much, I’ve said too much.”
shroud
Speculation is that during the EA Play Live event on July 22, EA could show more game modes. DICE LA is working on a mode that has been described as a “love letter to longtime Battlefield players”.
The rumors that EA is actually planning a “free Battle Royale” mode also exist. However, this mode is dated for 2022. Something else could be shown this summer to heat up fans for the release of Battlefield 2042 on October 22.

Streamers apparently want a lot of Call of Duty in Battlefield 2042
This is what it’s about: For streamers, a new big mainstream shooter means a boost in attention and income. The last major shooters Fortnite, Valorant, and Call of Duty: Warzone have each time made new streamers into stars or ensured that established streamers grew even bigger.
The “Battle Royale” mode has proven ideal for streamers because something can happen at any time, viewers stay engaged and wait for the next kick. Additionally, the battle royale mode allows for great cooperation with other streamers. This is good for business.
A Free2Play mode is also ideal for streamers because it increases the reach of potential players. Therefore, it would be ideal for streamers if Battlefield 2042 heavily aligns with the established CoD Warzone, which is known to work and attract viewers.
The core fans of Battlefield 2042, however, do not appreciate comparisons to Call of Duty. They want their game to focus on its own strengths.
From everything we know at the moment, and how EA sounds in business reports, it seems clear that they are heavily orienting Battlefield 2042 towards Call of Duty. The desire for a free battle royale mode could indeed come true.
We have already dealt with Battlefield 2042 in detail on MeinMMO:
In Destiny 2, the story is picking up pace: Savathûn is now officially in the city and the Guardians are puzzled as to who is possessed by the witch that makes our lives difficult in the DLC “Witch Queen.”
The looming civil war that the Season of the Splicer is heating up week by week, hardly matters this time. Instead, 2 wild theories have been confirmed that have been sparking discussions for months.
Spoiler warning: If you don’t want to spoil the surprise, log into Destiny 2 first and experience it for yourself.
Quria is behind the endless night – the simulation that cloaks the Last City in darkness.
Savathûn is walking through the streets of the Last City and has transformed into a Guardian.
That the corrupted Vex mind Quria is responsible for the endless night is not such a big surprise. However, it has now been officially stated in Destiny 2 for the first time. Quria has been floating through the lore of the action MMO since 2015.
We will surely confront Quria at the end of Season 14 – however, Savathûn’s arrival in the Last City is even more exciting.
The Witch Queen Savathûn wants to say hello
If you diligently completed the weekly quest at the Servitor Splicer and fought your way through the now corrupted Purge mission, you will witness some exciting conversations between Ikora, Osiris, Mithrax, and Saint-14. Just when the action is about to escalate, the episodic character of Destiny 2 intervenes and you will be left waiting for next week.
But those who take the time to read the new lore entry “Under the Endless Night VII-Ripe” will experience a story bomb: Savathûn is already in the Last City and looks like a Guardian.
Who is Savathûn? Savathûn is known as the Witch Queen and the sister of Oryx, the King of the Taken. She has been pulling the strings in Destiny since Oryx’s death, as the new main villain. Savathûn is significantly responsible for the curse of the Dreaming City and prepares her attack season after season. Her immense magical powers are derived from a Worm of the Hive. However, this worm will consume her if she does not “feed” it destruction. The backstory is, of course, much deeper – here is a 40-minute lore video about Savathûn by Destiny historian Byf (via YouTube).
Savathûn herself describes how she walks through the streets of the city. However, she is still not quite in control of her Guardian body. She often has to vomit and excretes black slime. When she is discovered, she enchants the unknown resident, while her worm churns inside her.
This is how Bungie envisioned the Hive – clearly space demons
Savathûn has already been officially confirmed as the main enemy of the expansion “Witch Queen,” which has been postponed to early 2022. The fact that the witch is now walking through the city, cursing residents and spying on everything, resembles the film “The Exorcist.” An evil power possesses a familiar body, vomits, and also brings about endless darkness.
Who is the disguised intruder?
Savathûn herself says that she has chosen her body well. Players are now playing detective and want to find out which Guardian is actually a witch.
Shaxx: The tough Crucible overseer was observed humming Savathûn’s song. Furthermore, the Ahamkara skulls above his post in the Tower are said to whisper secrets to him… suspicious.
Crow: The recently awakened Prince Uldren was possessed in a previous life. He was also recently spotted humming Savathûn’s song.
Lakshmi: The Exo lady with her war cult of the future is something like the extremist faction in the Last City. Since Season 14, she has been inciting, committing attacks, and trying to destabilize the Vanguard. And who would have thought, Savathûn’s song is played here too, this time as binary code.
And then there is Osiris – the Warlock is acting so strangely that many players have placed him at the top of their suspect list.
Osiris stands without a ghost
The Guardian detectives have Osiris in their sights
This supports the theory: While exploring the darkness, Osiris lost his beloved ghost Sagira, and since then he has been acting suspiciously. In recent months, the usually reserved Warlock has been very present in the city. He has worked his way up to Zavala’s right hand, now has exclusive access to Ikora’s data, and shows great interest in Crow (who is the brother of Savathûn’s enemy Mara Sov).
We remember the ghost ship from last season (Forebodings), where the Crown of Sorrow was found. Everyone fears the powerful artifact – after all, we had to defeat a raid boss for it. However, Osiris claims he wants the crown in the Last City, which is not sitting well with the Vanguard.
When we hacked the corrupted Vex network this week, Mithrax discussed the situation with us. Suddenly Osiris interrupts, which surprises Mithrax: how does Osiris even have access to the network? Osiris then drops a bomb, saying he wants to capture Quria – which Mithrax replies with “don’t you mean destroy?” … suspicious.
These are just the tips of the story iceberg indicating that Osiris may be possessed by Savathûn. Players also note that the Witch Queen does not have light powers, so the now lightless Osiris would be the ideal candidate. Lore also supports this, as Savathûn speaks very vividly of flesh and muscle – something the robotic Exos like Saint-14 and Lakshmi do not possess.
What do you think, has Osiris already been identified by players as Savathûn? Or do you think Bungie is leading us by the nose? Let us know in the comments who the traitor in the Tower is and what you think of the current story.
