Fortnite: Battle Royale brings a lot of crazy new features with Update 17.00 and the start of Season 7 – Chapter 2. The aliens and their technologies are sure to shake up the gameplay.
What’s new in Season 7? Update 17.00 launches Season 7 – Chapter 2 in Fortnite and this time the title is “Invasion”. As previously known, this time it’s about aliens invading the island. This brings the following new features to the game:
The theme is the fight against the aliens, led by the imagined order (IO) and Dr. Slone. Additional NPCs will either assist the aliens, be neutral, or fight against the extraterrestrials.
Aliens fly around the island in UFOs. You can shoot them down or hijack them. Then you can shoot with them or use tractor beams to fling things and vehicles around.
There are a lot of new high-tech weapons. These include a railgun that shoots through walls and a useful pulse rifle. Additionally, there is an alien blaster and a scanner. More weapons will be added throughout the season.
Weapon crafting is back, and with screws and nuts, you can modify weapons, for example, upgrading an assault rifle to a burst rifle.
In the Battle Pass there is a new alien skin named Kymera. This is basically a character editor that allows you to create your own alien from numerous options. There are various heads, eye colors, and much more that you can freely combine.
If you don’t want to wait that long and absolutely want to play more Battle Royale games right now, then check out this article from us. In it, we introduce you to 5 Battle Royale games that are specifically for mobile devices. Alongside Fortnite, there are also a few other promising titles. Have fun trying them out!
So far, the big fear of our Fortnite expert Eilyn Rapp has not occurred. She really likes the cute banana Schali and doesn’t think it’s good that the poor guy is always brutally killed. Hence her appeal to Fortnite: “Can you please stop torturing the banana?“

In Pokémon GO there are 9 new quests and a new raid challenge available starting today, June 8, 2021. We show you how they look and what rewards you get for completing the quests.
What’s new? As part of the event “A Very Slow Discovery” starting today, Niantic has released 9 new quests and a new raid challenge. You receive the quests as field research tasks when you spin the Pokéstop. Based on information from Leekduck (via reddit), we have summarized the new tasks for you.
What do the 9 new quests look like?
Quest
Reward
Catch 8 Water-type Pokémon
Seel*
Catch 8 Psychic-type Pokémon
Seel*
Evolve a Pokémon
1 King’s Rock
Evolve a Seel
20 Mega Energy for Dewgong
Evolve a Psychic-type Pokémon
Seel* or Shellder*
Evolve 3 Seel
Galarian Seel
Feed your buddy 3 snacks
Slurpuff
Win a raid in under 60 seconds
Galarian Seel
Win a raid in under 10 minutes
Shelmet*
Notes: Pokémon marked with an (*) can be obtained as shiny variants with a bit of luck.
In addition to the already time-limited raids, especially the quest “Win a raid in under 60 seconds” is supposed to provide trainers with a new challenge. This is meant to give you an even greater incentive to win raids within the actual time limit.
While the quest “Win a raid in under 10 minutes” is more of a thematic task that relates to the many slow Pokémon of the event, the second raid quest is already a bit more demanding.
Especially in Mega or 5-star raids, you need multiple trainers to defeat the raid boss in this time. However, this time requirement can also be met relatively easily in smaller raids alone.
Whether there will be more quests of this kind in the future remains uncertain.
If you’re interested in more about Pokémon GOyou might also find this appealing:
Feel free to let us know in the comments what you think of the new quests. What do you think of the new raid challenge? Are you also looking for the best attackers against Mega-Dewgong? We have put together a counter guide to Mega-Dewgong for Pokémon GO that informs you well for selecting your team.

A new Battle Pass has arrived with Season 7 – Chapter 2 in Fortnite. Here you can find all the skins, emotes, harvesting tools, and other content that you can receive in the new Battle Pass.
What’s happening in Season 7: Aliens are attacking the Fortnite island! The aliens arrived in a giant spaceship and are making their presence known in the new Season 7 – as the new trailer for Season 7 showed. Along with the aliens, there is also a new Battle Pass.
This is how the Battle Pass works this time: As usual, the Battle Pass costs 950 V-Bucks. However, the process of the Battle Pass is different this time: Instead of needing to unlock 100 levels, you can choose to a certain extent when you want to receive which rewards.
For each level you ascend, you receive 5 Battle Stars, which you can spend on rewards as you see fit. The rewards cost varying amounts of stars – for instance, certain back bling costs 6 stars, V-Bucks costs 5 stars, or skins cost 9 stars. You just need to see where your earned stars can be spent best for you.
Can I access the best rewards directly? Not directly. The rewards are divided into different pages that you cannot use all at once from the start. When you start anew this season, you can only access page 1 at first.
The following pages can be obtained either by unlocking rewards or through level ascensions.
For page 2, for example, you need to redeem 4 rewards or reach level 10.
Page 3 requires 10 rewards or level 20.
For page 4, you need 17 rewards or level 30.
This continues up to page 10.
What about Superman in the Battle Pass? There is a Superman skin available this season, which can be obtained through special missions. However, it will only be available after 65 days from the start of the season – so on August 12.
Superman arrives late

Ubisoft has been planning Rainbow Six: Quarantine, a new co-op shooter as a spin-off to the popular tactical shooter Rainbow Six Siege, for a while now. However, the upcoming shooter has a different name: it will be called Extraction, and more information will be available at E3.
What is Rainbow Six: Extraction? Originally, Rainbow Six: Quarantine was announced at E3 2019 as a co-op shooter in the R6 universe. The name has since been changed to Extraction because “quarantine” is not well-received during the times of Corona (via YouTube.com). It is based on Rainbow Six Siege, the popular tactical shooter.
Extraction is a sort of spin-off of a limited-time game mode from Siege. In March and April 2018, there was the “Outbreak” event, where players could fight against an alien parasite in a new co-op mode.
Similarly, the new standalone shooter will feature a parasite that spreads in a lab and infects everything. According to the developers, you will have various tasks, but the main goal is always: No one gets left behind.
Early gameplay leaks for Extraction have already shown various operators, i.e., playable characters, weapons, and possible modes. You apparently play in a team with different heroes and abilities to fulfill specific objectives within the time limit.

Quarantine is now called Extraction, to be presented at E3 2021
When and where will I learn more? Ubisoft will be present at E3 2021. On Saturday, June 12, 2021, starting at 9:00 PM German time, Ubisoft Forward will be happening. In our article, you can find all about the E3 stream times and how you can watch it.
The developers have already promised that the first (official) gameplay for the new shooter will be shown and that there will be a deep dive. So you can look forward to more information about Extraction.
Additionally, other publishers will hold their conferences and show you what they have been up to in recent months and what you can look forward to. Some of the larger names here include Microsoft and Bethesda, Activision and Epic Games. If you want to watch, participate in our survey:
The MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online received the expansion Blackwood on June 1, 2021. With the new chapter, new Mythic Items have been added. MeinMMO presents a particularly strong one and reveals how to get it.
Similar to the previous chapter Greymoor, there is a particularly interesting armor piece for DDs (engl. Damage Dealers) to excavate: the Warden’s Watkilt.
However, the item is extremely popular and causes great congestion at farm spots. This can lead to you needing to farm for hours or even days. Because even if you fought for (or rather expected) one of the farm spots, this is still no guarantee that you will quickly find the clue.
That’s why the item “Warden’s Watkilt” is so coveted
What kind of item is this? The Mythic Item carries the name “Warden’s Watkilt.” It is a medium leg armor piece. Here you can see the item’s effect:
“Warden’s Watkilt”: One of the new Mythic Items in Blackwood.
Why is the item so strong? The item grants you up to 10 stacks of 125 critical hit and 1% critical damage each. That’s 10% critical damage at 10 stacks. You receive stacks whenever you deal direct damage.
The stack is granted to you for 1 minute. However, since you usually deal direct damage continuously, you can mostly maintain the 10 stacks. You will, however, lose 5 stacks if you take direct damage.
The set is only suitable if you are in a situation where you take virtually no damage as a DD. Nevertheless, the bonuses are strong since critical damage is currently considered generally too strong.
And you gain quite a bit of stats from just one single set piece. For that, for example, you can forgo one piece of the monster set. Depending on the game situation, the Warden’s Watkilt is the best item you can wear in that equipment slot.
The Ultimate Compendium for ESO Blackwood
148 pages of guides for new and returning players, including a free extra: ESO main game, Morrowind, and 25% off Blackwood at Gamesplanet.
You get the item “Warden’s Watkilt” through excavation. You will therefore need the chapter Greymoor for the skill lines. You will also need the new chapter Blackwood and the DLC Murkmire, as some clues can only be found in these areas.
In total, you need to possess 5 different clues to be able to excavate the necessary parts for the item.
How does excavation work?
First, you need to unlock the skill lines “Scouting” and “Excavation”. For this, travel to western Skyrim to Solitude. Move from the wayshrine towards the Antiquarian Circle.
Enter the building and speak to Verita Numida. You receive a quest from this NPC. You must accept and complete it. This tutorial shows you how scouting and excavation work.
Start the quest with Verita Numida.The surface for scouting.This is what an excavation looks like.Here you can find the Antiquarian Circle in Solitude.Gallery on the antiquing system.
What level of the skill lines do I need?
To obtain the so-called Mythic Items, you need to obtain and excavate 5 clues each. No specific level is required to get the clue. However, to scout, the passive ability Eye of the Antiquarian (5/5) in the scouting skill line is necessary.
For excavation, it is highly recommended to have the passive skills. They really make it much easier. In principle, there is no minimum level for this, but the skill line levels up parallel to the scouting skill line. Therefore, you are likely to have a similar level there.
Did you know? The more often you use the eye during excavation, the more experience you gain for the scouting skill line. Therefore, it is worth using all charges, even if you already know where your item is located.
To reach the level, you unfortunately have to keep scouting and excavating things repeatedly, which is relatively time-consuming. You always have the chance to scout a green item. Usually, during its excavation, you will find a clue for a blue item.
Depending on the rarity, there are of course different rewards and experience points. This is also the positive aspect of farming for the skill line: You can earn a little gold through excavation on the side.
If you are interested in more about ESO, you might also like this:
First of all: The known information may be inaccurate. It is quite possible that you can obtain the clues from other sources. All information is based on the experiences of some players.
Clue 1 (Kothringi Leathercut): For this clue, you need to go to the new area of Dusken. You definitely need the chapter Blackwood. The world bosses in the open world have a chance to drop this clue.
Clue 2 (Swamp Blue Jaspis Fetish): You can obtain this clue from the final boss (Tree Sentinel Na-Kesh) of the group dungeon Ruins of Mazzatun. It doesn’t matter what difficulty you choose.
Clue 3 (Tideglass Pearls): This is probably the most unpleasant clue of all 5 clues. Because you get this clue only from water plants (Nirnroot, Water Hyacinths) or water sources (drinking hoses or water at bodies of water).
However, since the spots are relatively scarce, you will quickly notice: Almost every spot will be besieged by a player.
Occasionally, you may also encounter less friendly players who try to defend their spot with rather unfriendly words. This is completely unnecessary. There is, in fact, a trick on how both of you can use the same spot:
Important for this: Turn off the “Always Collect Everything” function. To do this, go to settings under “Gameplay” and scroll down to the heading “Items”.
If you now select a resource with E, you can check to see what exactly is in it before you loot it. If you don’t see a clue there, cancel the process with “Alt” or by moving away from the resource.
The next player can then select the resource after you and has a chance to find the clue in it. The competition that you can observe is therefore completely unnecessary…
It’s best to find a group with which you can position yourself at resource spots. Then you can take turns selecting the resource and thus generally increase your chances.
Clue 4 (Wolftail Sash): For this clue, you need to fish in the area of Murkmire. Therefore, you need the DLC Murkmire. The challenge is the selection of the water body. Because only in muddy water do you have a chance to obtain the clue.
If you are a PC player, you can use the following add-ons for fishing as help. However, they are not mandatory for farming the clue but are also useful for fishing fans:
You can download the add-ons manually and place them in the appropriate folder. The more convenient option is the Add-On Manager Minion. This lets you see, browse, and download most add-ons. Minion then automatically places everything in the right folder, and you can also easily update them with a click.
The map of Murkmire with some markings for fishing spots in brackish or muddy water.
Clue 5 (Silk Rope): You can find this clue in the small area of Bal Foyen. You need to defeat enemy NPCs of the Aldmeri Dominion. With some luck, you can obtain the clue from the defeated enemies.
By the way, there are also several helpful add-ons for PC players for the various clues. These can help you keep track of the things you can scout:
Are there also any add-ons on your list that make life in Tamriel incredibly easier? For some ESO players, these helpful tools are almost indispensable. This is also true for MeinMMO author Larissa Then.
In a podcast, Bungie developers openly spoke about issues with Stasis in Destiny 2. The studio admits: They knew from the release of the new element that it needed to be weakened multiple times.
The icy Stasis powers have robbed many Guardians of their enjoyment since their introduction. After some moderate adjustment attempts, there was recently a Season 14massive nerf, which many players feel has finally made an impact and pulled the fangs of the dominant power in PvP.
Where does the information come from? In line with this, two developers from Bungie – Abilities Feature and Sandbox Discipline Lead Kevin Yanes and Weapons Feature Lead Chris Proctor – spoke in the Destiny Community Podcast about issues with Stasis in PvP, among other things. Some exciting details emerged during this.
By the way, you can listen to the podcast in full here, although it’s in English.
What is Stasis exactly? Stasis is a relatively new damage type introduced with the Beyond Light expansion. Stasis is represented both as a focus of Guardian powers and as a damage type on a few weapons in the game. It embodies ice and frost. You gain these icy powers when you complete the campaign of the Beyond Light expansion and master some additional tasks. Afterward, you can unlock further specializations of this power and tailor Stasis to your playstyle.
The 3 Stasis classes in Destiny 2
Even at the launch, Bungie knew: Stasis would become a major problem in PvP
Why was Stasis so overpowered? As explained in the podcast, the responsible development team initially struggled to properly link Stasis with the specific power feeling in Destiny 2. Because initially, the ice power felt anything but powerful and caused little damage.
“Yes, you could hold a guy with it, but that was about it,” Yanes said. “It felt super inconsistent compared to the rest of the game, where it was about taking down an encounter [with enemies] and then looking for the next one. But at that time, Stasis felt like: Okay, I’m just dealing with this one guy, and that takes me more than 5 seconds. For me, that’s just nonsense in a game like Destiny.”
There were also other friction points the team dealt with during the Stasis development – for example, the value of freezing was not felt as strongly as the value of a Golden Gun since that super simply deletes enemies.
In trying to highlight this value for players, Stasis was tuned up and down until Stasis version 1.0 reached its known power – including target impairment on the enemy, multiple freezes, shatter madness, etc.
Stasis was far too dominant at the release in PvP
The problem at release: So while they had something powerful at the launch of the new element, they apparently had not yet found the optimal form. Yanes admits that they already knew Stasis was way too hot. “When we released it, the consensus in the team was: Yes, we’re going to have to nerf this.” He goes into even more detail, saying: “What I told one of our gameplay specialists as he was leaving was: I expect we’ll have to adjust this 3 or 4 more times before we get it to where I feel comfortable.”
Not everything was bad: Bungie had no illusions about Stasis’s dominance in PvP. However, they were much more relaxed about PvE in the studio. “The balance we achieved in PvE was mostly positive.” There, they had created a class that performed excellently as a Crowd Control and only had problems in a few areas (for example, bypassing boss immunity phases):
Curiously – this played an important role in development: Although it led to problems in the Crucible, Stasis also emerged with an eye towards PvP. As Yanes explained, it was also designed to counter a persistent problem in the Crucible:
“We wanted to create the fantasy of countering the unchecked aggressiveness that currently plagues the game. We looked at the game and how it played back then, and I saw a clear need for something that could counter shotgun rushers and jumping Hunters. Something that felt like you had another option besides just rushing, jumping, or backing off.”
He added: “The least fun thing you can tell players in PvP is to go have fun elsewhere because you can’t win that fight…”
In PvE, Stasis provides fun for many Guardians
“Bungie, do you even play your game?” This other option was definitely created with Stasis, but as is well known, they also missed the mark significantly here. Stasis not only became a counter to aggressive playstyles; it practically dominated every playstyle. Bungie takes this seriously and to heart:
“PvP is a passion for me,” Yanes said. “I once saw a comment on Twitter that basically said, ‘Do the developers actually play their own game? It’s awful, it’s really terrible right now.’ And I just said, ‘Dude, we all get a big bowl and we feast out of it – every single day. So if it doesn’t taste good, it doesn’t taste good to us either. I want you to know: I was there exactly the same way in Trials, and I was also taking a boatload of shurikens [from the Stasis Hunter]. And at no point was it: Wow, guys, you know what? We nailed it perfectly.'”
In closing, he added: “I think PvP will be a focus for us, a kind of lens. We are going to look at it more strictly and critically than we have before, especially when we introduce things like Crowd Control.”
As a conclusion, he states that for the sandbox team, the balance between player power feeling and what is ultimately good for the game is really difficult. It’s extremely important to listen to the community. Because they are making the game just as much for them as for themselves.
In the future, gunplay should become more important in PvP
What else is coming? Additionally, there was a brief insight into what players can expect regarding the sandbox of Destiny 2 in the future. The key points are:
Excessive movement and abilities (e.g., regeneration) are still too dominant in PvP. While they do not want to completely undermine the build aspect, ability builds have led to a shift away from the roots of the game. Further adjustments will follow.
However, it will no longer be like at the launch of Destiny 2 when PvP was way too slow and dull.
In PvP fights, there should be a shift in favor of gunplay, abilities should then emphasize in certain situations.
What do you think about Stasis being introduced with the knowledge that it would still need 3 to 4 nerfs after release to achieve balance? Should the studio have taken more time here in your eyes? Let us and other readers know in the comments.
By the way, further adjustments are also expected – including to the power of special ammo or for some weapon classes. You can read more about this soon here on MeinMMO.
With Palworld, a new open-world RPG is coming to Steam that focuses on crafting and survival. The colorful creatures in the game are reminiscent of Pokémon. However, they are not primarily used for fighting; instead, they serve as slaves and shields. The concept of the game is well-received, although there is criticism of the developer.
What kind of game is this? In Palworld, you primarily fight for survival. Firearms are used to defend yourself against other players, alongside your own base and the Pal.
Pal are the cute monsters that roam throughout the world. You can:
Tame and collect
Use for breeding
Ride
Employ as workers on your farm or in factories
Send into battle against other players
Hold as a shield in front of you to absorb shots from other players
There is even a possibility to slaughter your own Pal to eat them. However, according to the official description of the game, this is supposed to be “illegal,” whatever that may mean in this crazy world.
Unlike in Pokémon, the Pal are not your friends and partners; they act more as a means to an end.
When is Palworld set to be released? According to Steam, the release of Palworld is slated for 2022 (via Steam). There are no exact details on alpha or beta tests yet.
The official trailer gives you a first look at the game:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EY4lyOH1_0o
“How Humans Would Use Pokémon in Real Life: The Game”
What can be seen in the trailer? The first gameplay trailer for Palworld initially resembles a Pokémon clone, where you can catch, ride, and breed the Pal from eggs. Additionally, they are depicted as livestock, pulling carts or assisting in construction.
However, about halfway through the trailer, the tone changes. Suddenly firearms and rocket launchers are utilized for players to combat one another. The Pal also join in the fights.
Towards the end, the trailer becomes even darker. A Pal is used as a shield against shots and is then simply thrown away. Other Pal are seen on an assembly line being forced to craft weapons.
In Palworld, the cute monsters become workers on an assembly line.
How is the trailer received? Below the trailer, many comments express amusement over the stark break from Pokémon:
TheDiego908 writes: “This looks like a shitpost made by someone who was too frustrated with modern Pokémon and accidentally landed in a game document.”
Top Kek thanks the developers: “Finally a Pokémon game with forced labor, slavery, war crimes, weapons, eugenics, poaching, and destructible environments. Thank you, Pocket Pair.”
User Red Bottle sees Palworld as a realistic representation of Pokémon: “This is ‘How Humans Would Use Pokémon in Real Life: The Game.'”
Overall, the trailer for Palworld is well received. As of June 8 at 10:30 AM, the video has around 220,000 views, 8,116 thumbs up, and 412 thumbs down. Negative comments focus primarily on the development studio that made Craftopia.
Developer criticized for needing to finish another game
What is the criticism about? The developer Pocketpair released the game Craftopia in Early Access on Steam in 2020. Exploring, crafting, and building massive factories is the order of the day.
Craftopia is hardly being developed further and mixes too many genres at once without properly handling any of them.
Meanwhile, the developers announced a new title with Palworld, causing players to fear that Craftopia will never be completed.
They also fear that the developers are only after the “quick money from sales” and thus develop games quickly but also abandon them just as quickly.
However, on June 5, the developers addressed this, stating that two separate teams are working on the games. 15 employees are reportedly working on Craftopia, while 5 newly hired developers are working on Palworld. Craftopia is also set to receive a performance improvement with the next major update on June 23 (via Steam).
What do you think of the new game Palworld? Are you interested in a blend of Pokémon and Call of Duty? And have you had any experience with Craftopia? Feel free to share it in the comments.
The global reveal of Battlefield 6 is just around the corner, and the developers are even using older weapons in their marketing war. Players have now discovered small teasers from the latest Battlefield in older installments of the series.
If you start Battlefield 4, 1, or BF5 right now, you will see teasers with the branding of the new Battlefield during the login screen. This should leave an impression even on the last Twitter-avoiding fan that something big is coming.
Battlefield 6 uses all channels for its glitch teasers
What do the teasers look like? Battlefield 6 uses distorted images and audio recordings for its teasers along with a tagline in a striking neon turquoise. The tagline is not visible in the old Battlefield installments, but the reference to the new Battlefield is clearly recognizable. Here is the teaser from Battlefield 4:

Some players’ surprise after starting Battlefield 4 must have been significant. After the startup screen had shown the same thing for a few years, suddenly glitch images appeared. Something similar is now also happening in Battlefield 1 and Battlefield 5. We will embed the teaser from BF5 here:

Where else are teasers appearing? Battlefield 6 is particularly active on Twitter (via Twitter). The little teasers with the glitch images are appearing everywhere, and content creators are receiving mysterious messages from the official Battlefield account. The old installments of the series also received a “new trailer” on Steam – here too, the Battlefield glitch images are visible:
This continues further, and the EA launcher “EA Desktop” prominently displays the glitch images in the background of the old Battlefield games:
Do the teasers mean anything? The teasers are part of the marketing campaign and also part of the presentation of the new Battlefield. The colors and possibly also the glitch images will likely accompany players in the new Battlefield. Some even claim to see outlines in the distorted images:

But so far, it has not been very revealing and probably is not meant to be. The teasers are just a taste of the real reveal, which will likely uncover the connection between the mysterious teasers.
What is known so far about Battlefield 6? Officially, there is very little information. Neither the name nor the setting has been confirmed. But the leak machinery is running at full speed. The latest BF installment is said to be called “Battlefield 2042”, offer extremely large maps, and reinvent the conquest mode. You can find more information about the current leaks regarding Battlefield 6 here.

Fortnite: Battle Royale has finally shown the contents of the new Battle Pass for Season 7 Chapter 2 (Update 17.00) in a trailer. It’s quite colorful, as aliens are here, Superman appears, and even Rick from the cult series Rick and Morty is involved.
What does the Battle Pass trailer show? The trailer for the new Battle Pass of Update 17.00 (Season 7, Chapter 2) is online. And as long as the game is offline due to downtime, the trailer is the only official source for the new content you will soon be able to get. In the trailer you will see among other things:
Diverse alien skins that probably shouldn’t all have the same goals
An alien has apparently disguised itself as another skin and is literally taking this off!
Superman also appears similarly, first showing up as his alter ego Clark Kent and then putting on his costume
Fans of the cult series Rick and Morty will be especially happy, as at least the drunk scientist Rick is included as a skin. Morty seems to at least lead an inglorious existence as a harvesting tool.
Another skin is likely a woman with an afro hairstyle, who seems to lead the fight against the invaders. She also appears to have several variants.

More info on the Battle Pass of Update 17.00 after the downtime
When can you buy the Battle Pass? The new Battle Pass is only available when the downtime for Update 17.00 is over. The servers went offline today at 08:00 and since it is a major update, it will likely take a while before you can play again. So expect it to be more like later in the afternoon.
If you don’t want to wait that long and absolutely want to play more battle royale games right now, then check out this article from us. There we present 5 battle royale games specifically for mobile devices. Among them are a few more promising titles besides Fortnite. Have fun trying them out!

On Pokémon GO, a special raid weekend starts on Saturday. You will receive more candies, higher chances for XL candies, and generally, the number of raids will increase. We will show you all the bonuses.
What kind of event is this? With the special raid weekend, Niantic aims to make raid battles in Pokémon GO more attractive for you. The event runs for only two days but should be worthwhile. The raid bosses you encounter during this time will drop many candies.
Just right if you still need to power up some of them in your collection.
Raid Weekend – Start Time and Bonuses
When does the event run? It starts on Saturday, June 12, at 10:00 AM local time. The raid weekend will continue until Sunday, June 13, at 8:00 PM local time. After that, all bonuses will be reverted and everything will go back to “normal” in Pokémon GO.
What bonuses are there? The event bonuses mainly relate to receiving candies.
You will receive double the number of candies for catching Pokémon.
The chance of receiving XL candies for catching Pokémon is three times higher during the event. Keep in mind that only trainers above level 40 can receive XL candies.
You will encounter raid battles more frequently during the event. This also applies to legendary raids of level 5 and Mega raids.
What bosses are active? In Pokémon GO, you can currently battle Regirock, Regice, and Registeel in level 5 raids. This trio will remain in the game until June 17, and they will be active during the raid weekend as well.
What you need to know for raids: In raids, you receive 3 guaranteed XL candies anyway. There is a chance to obtain an additional 1-3 XL candies. Trainers hope that the higher probability of XL candies will lead to a more likely chance of receiving those additional 3 XL candies. Ideally, you will end up with 6 XL candies for a raid.
How players are reacting: Trainers are asking Niantic on social networks how the bonus will exactly affect raids. Many players find the formulation unclear and would like clearer communication from the developers (via Twitter.com).
In the same Twitter post, players note that they won’t take full advantage of the weekend because they find the Regi trio too boring. They would have liked special raid bosses to make the weekend more exciting. You can find a selection of this in our overview of the best attackers in Pokémon GO.
How do you like the raid weekend? Is this an event that you want to take full advantage of to stock up on your candy supplies, or do you feel like the players who wished for a new selection of level 5 raids for the event?

The E3 2021 is just around the corner, and we already know which conferences will be taking place. What are you most looking forward to? Vote in our survey.
This is what E3 2021 brings: After the E3 event had to be canceled last year due to Covid, it will take place in 2021 in an entirely digital format. Once again, various developers and publishers from the gaming industry will be participating, and from June 12 to June 15, they will present the latest information about their games.
This year, big names like Microsoft, Square Enix, and Ubisoft are once again participating. Nintendo will also join in, after sitting out the last E3. Sony has once again decided to skip this year’s E3.
Here is an overview of the largest conferences:
EA is bringing the big Battlefield reveal ahead of E3.
Devolver Digital is known for their extravagant E3 shows. Fans hope for Hotline Miami 3.
PC Gaming Show has not released any teasers yet. At the last show, there was an announcement for Persona 4 Golden for PC and the remaster of Shadow Man.
Future Games Show focuses on indie games like Dustborn or Serial Cleaner. There are no previews for announcements at E3 2021 yet.
Nintendo Direct will focus completely on the software of the Nintendo Switch at E3 2021. Fans speculate that it could include Breath of the Wild 2.
This means that there will be new game announcements next week and the week after. Leading up to E3 2021, we want to know which conferences you are most excited about.
Here’s how to vote: As always, you can cast your vote in the survey tool below. This time you only have one vote, so choose wisely. You cannot undo your choice.

Rogues will soon be able to obtain one of Sylvanas’ special daggers in World of Warcraft – A dagger with which she also defeated Saurfang.
The upcoming Patch 9.1 Chains of Domination for World of Warcraft brings a lot of new content, but the centerpiece will likely be the raid “Sanctum of Domination” with its 10 bosses. Especially the final boss triggers a greedy glint in the eyes of certain classes: Sylvanas Windrunner.
What does Sylvanas drop? Sylvanas leaves behind several items of great historical relevance. For instance, you can loot the legendary bow Rae’shalare, which hunters will be drooling over.
But rogues also get to enjoy a very special item. They can score one of Sylvanas’ daggers, which has a special effect only for rogues.
This is what Sylvanas’ dagger looks like – It packs quite a punch.
What makes the dagger so special? The dagger, which has yet to be given its own name, grants rogues an additional effect. This is “Banshee’s Blight”:
Your attacks apply “Banshee’s Blight” to the target, giving your finishers a chance to deal additional shadow damage. Banshee’s Blight is stackable up to 4 times when your target is more critically wounded.
Rogues with the dagger, therefore, deal additional damage with their finishing moves, which also increases the closer the enemy is to death. This effectively gives rogues an additional “Execute” effect, making them even more efficient towards the end of a fight.
How exactly the fight against Sylvanas will unfold and what major consequences this will have for the Shadowlands, we will likely only find out after the release of Patch 9.1.
Why does Sylvanas use daggers? Sylvanas is actually more known for her archery skills, but since Battle for Azeroth, we know that the Banshee Queen can also handle daggers well. She proved this most recently in her fight against Saurfang at the gates of Orgrimmar – at least before she overwhelmed him with death magic.
More about World of Warcraft on MeinMMO can be found here:
When will Patch 9.1 be released? There is still no fixed release date for Patch 9.1 Chains of Domination. However, the PTR has been running for quite a while, as more and more content is gradually being refined. So it could be the case in just a few weeks.
Will you get the dagger with your rogue? Or are you more interested in Sylvanas’ bow as a hunter?

The trailer started with the mascot Schali, who seemingly gave an “anonymous” interview. It then moved to a research station, where signals seem to be recorded. It appears that strange clues and signals are being discovered all over the island – the crop circle from Season 6 is visible again and skins are being abducted by aliens.
The news speaks of a strange phenomenon that has never been experienced before. However, the characters on the island seem to be looking forward to it and throw a huge party. But then suddenly a gigantic UFO appears, covering the entire Fortnite map. Although the Fortnite characters try to communicate with the aliens, they simply blow up the tower in which the Zero Point was sealed.
The alien seems to be pleased about the arrival of the UFO
The season is titled “Invasion.” It seems that a lot of chaos awaits us. So get ready for battle. It will be exciting to see what else awaits us in Season 7.
Additionally, Fortnite has now released the Battle Pass trailer for Season 7. In it, you see cool skins like Rick from the series “Rick and Morty” or even the hero Superman himself. Which of the new skins do you like best and why?

How long will the maintenance take? Since update 17.00 initiates the new Season 7 of Chapter 2, the maintenance may take longer than usual. Technical issues or other delays may further extend the maintenance period. If that’s the case, you will find out here on MeinMMO.
Important info regarding patch size: The exact size of the patch is still unknown. However, it is always assumed that a new season will involve a relatively large update that needs to be downloaded. This is mainly because new seasons often come with map changes.
Fortnite Status itself also states on Twitter that the patch size will be “larger than normal on all platforms.”
What contents does update 17.00 bring to Fortnite?
This is confirmed: It is clear that the new season will be available in Fortnite after the update. However, the exact changes are not yet fully known. There are a few things that have already been confirmed – such as:
Makeshift weapons will disappear from the game
Breaking of interrogations (Shakedown) on opponents will be introduced
Fortnite on PC will receive graphics improvements
This is speculated: Season 7 will likely revolve around aliens and UFOs – at least that’s the hints that have been observed so far. In the game itself, players are currently being abducted by UFOs and dropped off in other locations. It is suspected that aliens will still be active in Season 7. Perhaps they will also bring new weapons and skins from another planet?
Will Season 7 bring even more aliens?
It won’t be long until the new season kicks off. We will update this article here on MeinMMO for you and accompany the big update to Season 7 in Fortnite. So be sure to check back and experience the season start with us.

What kind of event is this? This Slowpoke event in June focuses on Pokémon that are either really slow or quite hyperactive. The spotlight is on Galar Slowpoke, Galar Lickitung, and Mega Lickitung. However, monsters like Swalot or Spoink also play a role.

Do you want to know if the next area in WoW BC Classic is suitable for you? Have you reached a new level in the Classic areas and don’t know where to go next? MeinMMO shows you all the leveling areas and reveals when it’s best to level where.
Since June 2nd, you can explore the shattered world in BC Classic and reach level 70. In seven new areas, you will level up to the new maximum level and slowly prepare for the new challenges.
Here we give you a brief overview of when you may visit which area. The levels in parentheses indicate the minimum level you should have reached to start and when you should slowly move into a new area.
We will also explain which dungeons you will find there and what you may need to pay attention to. More about the story and background of the individual areas can also be read in the new special issue on BC Classic.
Here you will also learn how to level to level 60 or 58 in Classic to access the shattered world. Because especially in the old areas, you can quickly lose orientation about where to go next.
[toc]
The map of the shattered world with an overview of the levels, when you can level where.
Hellfire Peninsula (58-63, recommended 59-62)
Your first steps in the shattered world will be in Hellfire Peninsula. You reach the zone through the Dark Portal in the Blasted Lands, all the way south of the Eastern Kingdoms. From level 58, you can take the first quests here.
The Horde and Alliance have largely the same tasks on different sides of the island. If you have completed all quests in the area, you should have reached about level 62. If the experience is not quite enough, consider visiting the dungeons in the area one or two more times.
What dungeons are available here? Right in the center of Hellfire Peninsula, you will find Hellfire Citadel. In this, there are four instances that you can visit:
Hellfire Citadel (58-63)
Blood Furnace (60-64)
Shattered Halls (70; requires key)
Magtheridon’s Lair (70; raid)
The Dark Portal in Hellfire Peninsula. From here, the Orcs began their invasion of Azeroth.
Zangarmarsh (60-64, recommended 61-63)
West of Hellfire Peninsula, you will find Zangarmarsh. Here you can start the first quests from level 60, but it is advisable to stay in Hellfire Peninsula until at least level 61. There you will also receive a quest at the end that leads you to the next area.
Many opponents in Zangarmarsh are around level 63. Throughout the area, there are bases from the Horde and Alliance as well as from the Cenarius Expedition and from Sporeggar, two neutral factions.
What dungeons are available here? In the large Serpent Lake in the north, you will find the Coilfang Reservoir, where three dungeons and a raid await you:
Slave Pens (61-65)
Underbog (62-65)
Steamvault (70)
Sacrarium of the Serpent Shrine (70; raid)
Forests of Terokkar (62-65, recommended 63-65)
You can access the Forests of Terokkar through Hellfire Peninsula in the southwest or through Zangarmarsh in the south. Theoretically, you can skip the forests, as the level range is exactly where Zangarmarsh and Nagrand overlap. However, we still recommend doing at least one or two levels here to make it easier later on or to catch up.
The first quests are received in Zangarmarsh, which send you to a outpost in the north of the forests, as well as in Shattrath. The introductions lead you to the outposts of your faction and the neutral outposts.
Tip: Visit the Forests of Terokkar a bit earlier to get the flight point in Shattrath and possibly set the hearthstone there. Shattrath is the capital of the expansion.
What dungeons are available here? In the south of the zone, you will find the massive ruin of Auchindoun, a sacred site of the Draenei. Here are four dungeons that you can partially visit while leveling:
Mana Tombs (64-66)
Auchenaic Crypt (65-68)
Sethekk Halls (67-70)
Shadow Labyrinth (70; requires key)
Auchindoun is one of the major dungeon hubs in BC Classic.
Nagrand (64-67, recommended 65-67)
You reach Nagrand best through the Forests of Terokkar in the west or through Zangarmarsh in the southwest. A small pass leads you into the green area. In the north of the center, you will find the Horde base, south of the center the Alliance base.
Nagrand is quite a popular area, so it might get a bit fuller here than in other areas. We recommend not switching to this area directly at level 64, as the opponents here can quickly become deadly due to their levels and abilities.
There are no dungeons in Nagrand that you can visit. However, there are several quests in the Arena of Nagrand that are extremely rewarding in terms of experience points and loot. The Ring of Blood is located in the north of the area.
Sky. (65-68)
In the north of Zangarmarsh, mountain passes lead you into Sky, where you can start quests from level 65. However, pay attention in the zone that several elite opponents patrol there, who can happily take you out of the game with one or two hits.
Due to the many mountains, traveling through the Sky can be somewhat difficult, but the quests are often very close together. Many tasks can thus be completed quickly, making the Sky a rewarding area.
What dungeons are available here? There is no dungeon itself in the Sky, but once you are ready for the raids, you will find Gruul’s Lair in the center of the zone. This raid only has two bosses and belongs to the “T4 raids”, the first raids of the expansion.
Nethanderstorm (67-70)
Northeast of the Sky, you will find one of the two end areas of the leveling phase of BC Classic, Nethanderstorm. You can start quests here from level 67, and if you want, you can switch early as well. If you finish “too quickly”, you can collect the remaining experience points up to level 70 in the Shadowmoon Valley.
Since you will find significantly more Blood Elves than demons in Nethanderstorm, you should prefer this area if you have joined the Aldor. Here you will find the necessary items for more reputation just when questing.
The instances in Nethanderstorm and the Fortress of Storms. Here awaits one of the toughest bosses of TBC: Kael’thas Sunstrider.
What dungeons are available here? The last major dungeon hub can be found in Nethanderstorm. However, to visit the dungeons, you need to be able to fly or have someone with you who can summon you to the dungeon.
Mechanar (70)
Arcatraz (70; requires key)
Botanica (70)
Fortress of Storms (70; raid)
Shadowmoon Valley (67-70)
On the other side of the shattered world is Shadowmoon Valley, which you can enter in the southeast of the Forests of Terokkar. Like Nethanderstorm, entering is worthwhile from level 67.
Unlike in Nethanderstorm, you will find more demons here, so followers of the Aldor should prefer Shadowmoon Valley. This way, you can already collect items for reputation increases while questing.
Tip: Paladins should choose Shadowmoon Valley if they want to level up faster. Since there are many demons here, Exorcism can often be used.
What dungeons are available here? You won’t find dungeons here, but there’s one of the last raids of the expansion in Shadowmoon Valley: the Black Temple. Here you will fight against Illidan Stormrage, the charismatic antagonist of Burning Crusade.
Leveling in WoW Classic – Where to level until level 58?
If you haven’t arrived in the shattered world yet, you will probably still have to fight through the Classic areas first. Here it is not always clear where to go next as the level range is not displayed on the map.
We will show you in clear ten-step ranges which areas are suitable for your level and give recommendations for zones that are particularly worthwhile.
Where can I level with level 1-10?
Alliance:
Azuremyst Isle (1-10)
Dun Morogh (1-10)
Elwynn Forest (1-10)
Teldrassil (1-10)
Horde:
Durotar (1-10)
Mulgore (1-10)
Duskwood (1-10)
Tirisfal (1-10)
These areas are the starting areas for your respective races. You can easily start there, where you are dropped off. However, you can also embark on a journey to another starting area.
This is useful if you want to gather reputation with a certain faction, for example, for a mount. This saves you time by combining reputation gathering and leveling.
Where to level with level 11-20?
Alliance:
Bloodmyst Isle (10-20)
Darkshore (10-20)
Loch Modan (10-20)
Westfall (10-20)
Horde:
Ghostlands (10-20)
Sylvan Forest (10-20)
Badlands (10-25)
Neutral:
Redridge Mountains (15-25)
Stonetalon Mountains (15-27)
Feralas (18-30)
Duskwood (18-30)
Most neutral areas are geared more towards Alliance players, but the Horde also finds many or more quests in both Feralas and Stonetalon Mountains. Alliance players should definitely visit Duskwood as there are rewarding quest lines, while Horde players are well served in the Badlands and Stonetalon Mountains.
Duskwood is a pretty and rewarding area for the Alliance.
Where to level with level 21-30?
Redridge Mountains (15-25)
Stonetalon Mountains (15-27)
Feralas (18-30)
Duskwood (18-30)
Hillsbrad Foothills (20-30)
Swamp of Sorrows (20-30)
Thousand Needles (25-35)
In the Swamp of Sorrows, Alliance players will find many quests that they can continue later. Thousand Needles is more populated by the Horde, so there are more quests for that faction.
To the east of Thousand Needles, however, there is the neutral Shimmering Flats for players at the end of level 20. The quests here are closely located, and both factions can quickly grab experience points. The Hillsbrad Foothills should be visited by Alliance players a bit later than Horde players, as the quests here start later, around level 25.
Where to level with level 31-40?
Thousand Needles (25-35)
Alterac Mountains (30-40)
Arathi Highlands (30-40)
Desolace (30-40)
Stranglethorn Vale (30-45)
Duskwallow Marsh (35-45)
Badlands (35-45)
Swamps of Sorrows (35-45)
Desolace and Stranglethorn Vale are both areas where you have many quests close together that are linked to rewarding chains. You should start here early and then switch to the other area to catch up. This way, you get the most out of both areas.
Alternatively, Horde players will find many quests in the Swamps of Sorrows, while Alliance players find many quests in the Duskwallow Marsh. Both areas have interesting environments and are worth a visit.
Where to level with level 41-50?
Feralas (40-50)
Hillsbrad Foothills (40-50)
Tanaris (40-50)
Searing Gorge (45-50)
Azshara (45-55)
Blasted Lands (45-55)
Un’Goro Crater (48-55)
Felwood (48-55)
Tanaris is the most worthwhile here as you will receive long quest lines preparing you for the dungeon Zul’Farrak and also learn many recipes for professions in the towns. Tanaris, the Hillsbrad Foothills, and Feralas are linked through several quests, so you can complete tasks well simultaneously and switch between them.
The Searing Gorge is particularly interesting for miners looking to catch up their skill, as there is dark iron here that will help you through an otherwise tedious phase. The Blasted Lands are only worth it to a limited extent because the quests here are widely spaced and there is not much to do anyway. But make sure to secure your flight point here to get to the shattered world faster.
The Dark Portal in the Blasted Lands – this is where your journey into the shattered world begins.
Start quests in the Un’Goro Crater and Felwood at the end of your 40s to score better rewards later in the 50s and prepare for the quests.
Where to level with level 51-60?
Azshara (45-55)
Blasted Lands (45-55)
Un’Goro Crater (48-55)
Felwood (48-55)
Burning Steppes (50-58)
Western Plaguelands (51-58)
Eastern Plaguelands (53-60)
Winterspring (53-60)
Silithus (55-60)
In the Un’Goro Crater and Felwood, you should finish your quest lines, as you often receive easy quests for many experience points towards the end. In Felwood, you also prepare for the journey to Winterspring, where you can complete the leveling areas of Classic.
Winterspring and Silithus are also stopping points to finish up any last quests, so you can reach level 58 (or 60). At level 55, the areas can still be somewhat hard, but with level 57+, you should progress quickly here.
The Plaguelands are somewhat cumbersome but particularly worthwhile for Paladins. Since there are many undead around, you can often use Exorcism and Holy Wrath to deal more damage and level faster.
70 Levels – How long does it actually take?
If you are starting WoW Classic for the first time, you should roughly orient yourself to an hour per level. At first, it will go faster, but from level 40 or 50 an hour is already realistic. There is also a one-time boost to level 58 available for purchase, but there are some reasons against the level boost.
Basically, it is also worth completing an area fully in most cases. The last quests of long chains often give more experience points than new quests in a fresh area. So don’t necessarily switch to a new zone just because your level allows it.
What is it about? Players are eagerly waiting for the end of Season 6 and the start of Season 7 in Chapter 2. Season 6 has been active in Fortnite for a few months now, and now players are just a few hours away from the start of the new season. We will show you everything you need to know here on MeinMMO.
When does Season 7 start?
Then it begins: The official start date for Season 7 is Tuesday, June 8, 2021. However, an exact time has not yet been announced by Epic. Based on experiences from previous seasons, downtime will likely start in the morning, and Fortnite will be unavailable for a few hours.
By noon, the servers should be back up and Update 17.00 with the new Season 7 should be available. Provided everything goes as it has in previous years. You may also be able to play earlier or later.
What about a live event?
What is known: So far there is no information on whether an event will take place. However, since the season starts tomorrow, it is likely that no “live” event will take place. However, there might be a solo event at the start of Season 7 – similar to what happened at the start of the last season. We will likely see if Epic will announce anything about it.
What has been seen so far: Season 7 will likely revolve around aliens and UFOs – this is at least the hints that have been observed so far. In the game itself, players are currently being abducted by UFOs and dropped off at other locations. It is suspected that the aliens will still be active in Season 7. Perhaps they will also bring new weapons from another planet?
The theme of Season 7 is probably aliens
It won’t be long until we finally see what Season 7 will bring to Fortnite. We will accompany the season start here at MeinMMO and keep you updated with all the information. So make sure to regularly check back with us for the start of Season 7. We will show you the latest trailers and changes in Fortnite.
In the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online, the farming fever has broken out. The focus is on a new Mythic item that all players seem to want right now. The competition for the farm spots is correspondingly high.
What kind of item is it? The “Harpooner’s Watkilt” is a Mythic item that you can earn since the release of the Blackwood expansion. It is a medium armor leg piece that has a strong effect:
When you deal direct damage, you gain up to 10 Hunter’s Focus stacks for 1 minute
Each stack of Hunter’s Focus increases crit chance by 125 and crit damage by 1%
However, you lose 5 stacks when you take direct damage
The item is very powerful for DDs, who however cannot take damage themselves. This usually happens mainly in dungeons and trials.
This is the item that many players currently want in ESO.
What is the problem with the item? The new Mythic item is only available through the Antiquities system from Greymoor. To do this, you need to find various clues.
But to get these clues, you have to loot certain things or defeat enemies and also need drop luck. Since Blackwood is still a fresh expansion, many players are currently farming. And this leads to real disputes over farm spots.
How do you get the Harpooner’s Watkilt? First, you need the Blackwood expansion for the new area and Greymoor for the Antiquities system. A detailed guide on this has been created by MeinMMO author MiezeMelli:
What is currently happening in ESO? It feels like all players in ESO are currently hunting for the Mythic item. Therefore, players are camping en masse at bosses, spawn points of mobs or at gathering materials such as water hyacinths.
Although you don’t always see a lot of players all in one place, since there are various farm spots in different areas, overall, many players are on the hunt for the item.
This can lead to you having to farm for hours or even days to get all the clues.
On farming rounds in ESO, you suddenly encounter large groups of players (Image via ESO-reddit).
In addition, things often get heated in the respective chats:
In the general zone chat, there is a lot of discussion about the new item, but also cursing and flaming
In the say or whisper chat, you could even get insulted when you appear at another player’s farm spot.
Our ESO expert MiezeMelli reported that she has never experienced such a crowd at the farm spots, not even at the launch of Greymoor and the introduction of Mythic items.

With the second part of the Genesis expansion in ARK: Survival Evolved, there are some new creatures that you can also tame and ride. In the MeinMMO guide, we explain how to quickly and effectively tame the space dolphin “Astrodelphis.” Additionally, you will learn how to craft the saddle and what preparations are necessary.
Once tamed, the Astrodelphis is versatile. Thanks to the Starwing saddle, it supports you both in combat and while exploring the space sector, as well as in transporting resources. This agile creature is a true all-rounder for your adventures on the new map.
In the space zone, the Astrodelphis lives and hovers in the space. They leave bluish shimmering trails when flying through space. The animals themselves are curious and swim around you. If you get too close, they will attack you.
In the green-marked zone, you will find the Astrodelphis.
Here’s how to tame the Astrodelphis: Pet the Astrodelphis on PC by pressing the “E” key (“Y” on Xbox, Triangle on PS4) to initiate the taming process. Move alongside the creature. This only works if the creature is not aggressive. If it attacks you, fly away a bit and wait until the Astrodelphis’s movements have slowed down.
After you have petted the creature, approach its head from the front and feed it Element. The number of Elements required can vary.
First, you pet the space dolphin. After that, you feed the creature with the resource Element.
Here’s how to speed things up: Taming works much easier in tandem. One player pets the Astrodelphis while the second player feeds the creature with Element. Especially in zero gravity, switching between the head and body of the animal can be a challenging endeavor.
After each petting, you feed the Astrodelphis again. Depending on the level of the animal, the process can take some time. Try to isolate a low-level Astrodelphis at the beginning to internalize the process and avoid being attacked by other creatures.
Once you have successfully tamed the Astrodelphis, you can give it a name as usual and equip it with a saddle.
The English-speaking YouTuber “Cjthecheesedj” explains the taming process in detail in his video:

To tame the Astrodelphis, you need the resource “Element.” Before you head out to tame an Astrodelphis, you should prepare well. Taming can take a lot of time, depending on the creature’s level.
Even though the Astrodelphis is a carnivore and feeds on meat, you will tame it with “Element,” the primary component for gear at Tek-level. And the space dolphins have a pretty big appetite.
You can collect Element very efficiently with an Ankylosaurus. To do this, head to the middle area on the map in Genesis Part 2. On the meteorites, you will find blue crystals, which you can mine with the Ankylosaurus’s club. In addition to Element, you will also get metal, stones, and elemental shards, which you can craft in the Tek-replicator to operate Tek-structures.
The meteorites respawn automatically after 24 hours in the game. The resources you find in the biome also change. So, you need a bit of luck and patience. Alongside Element, oil and mutagel also spawn in the zone. Element itself is very light, and you should collect as many stacks as possible. You will also find them in the same zone as the dino itself.
Crafting the Astrodelphis Starwing Saddle
A highlight is the saddle for the Astrodelphis. With it, you transform the creature into a fighter jet that can fire plasma projectiles. You unlock the blueprint for 60 Engram points at level 120. This saddle is crafted in the Tek-replicator.
For crafting, you need the following resources:
140x Black Pearl
370x Crystal or Primal Crystal
55x Element
2500x Metal Ingots or Scrap Metal Ingots
500x Polymer, Organic Polymer, or Patchy Nodules
You equip the saddle as usual through the inventory of the Astrodelphis. After that, you sit in the futuristic cockpit and can travel stylishly through the vacuum of space.
Special Abilities of the Saddle: If you add the Element to the inventory of the Astrodelphis, you activate the jet mode by pressing the left CTRL key of the Starwing saddle and move even faster through space. With “C” you perform a looping, and with the space bar, you activate an electric charge that stuns nearby enemies. If you double-tap one of the directional keys, you perform a barrel roll on the Astrodelphis.
On Xbox and PlayStation 4, you perform the actions as follows:
Looping Xbox and PlayStation 4: Press the right stick
Electric Charge Xbox: A
Electric Charge PlayStation 4: X
Plasma Charge Xbox: Right Trigger (RT)
Plasma Charge PlayStation 4: R2
Jet Mode Xbox: RB
Jet Mode PlayStation 4: R1
With the right saddle, the Astrodelphis is a faithful companion that not only performs well in battle but also provides great assistance during exploration. A similarly loyal companion is the giant turtle Megachelon, which you can also tame.
