In Pokémon GO the event “Illuminating Legends Y” featuring Yveltal will start in a few days. Accompanying this is a rewarding Rocket event and a challenge. We will show you the details.
What kind of event is this? In the last few days, you could battle Xerneas in Pokémon GO. A new Pokémon related to Xerneas will follow on May 18th. Then for the first time, Yveltal from Generation 6 will be introduced to the game. At the same time, an event that is divided into two parts will start.
The first part revolves around Yveltal, Pam-Pam, and Team GO Rocket
The second part focuses on Eevee, its evolutions, and the new evolution Feelinara
Here we show you an overview of what you need to know about the event and why it will be worth your while.
Yveltal Event Part 1
When does it start? It starts on Tuesday, May 18th, at 10:00 AM. The first part of the event runs until May 24th at 8:00 PM. Find out further down in the article what bonuses you can expect in the second part.
What’s in it?
New Legendary Pokémon: The major highlight will likely be the introduction of Yveltal in Level 5 raids. The Pokémon is of Dark and Flying type and originates from the Kalos region (Gen. 6).
Contents of the 12 km eggs: You can receive “Strange Eggs” from Team GO Rocket after a successful battle, for which you need to walk a distance of 12 kilometers. During the event, Pam-Pam will appear in it, which has been catchable in Pokémon GO since May 11th. The following Pokémon can hatch from the 12 km eggs during the event:
Pam-Pam
Baldorfish
Larvitar
Absol
Pionskora
Ganovil
Zurrokex
Gladiantri
Skallyk
Kapuno
Wild spawns: In the wild, you will encounter more Dark-type Pokémon such as Hunduster and Kanivanha. Additionally, Pokémon such as Parfi, Flauschling, and Viscora, which have been present in the game since the Xerneas event, will also appear.
Timed Research: During the event, you will receive a timed research revolving around Team GO Rocket. If you complete it successfully, you will encounter Dark-type Pokémon like Galar-Zigzachs. There are also special field researches that reward you with encounters with Galar-Zigzachs and Zurrokex.
What happens in raids? Dark-type Pokémon like Alolan Meowth and Xerneas will appear in raids.
The contents of the 7 km eggs: In the eggs you receive from friends, the following Pokémon can be found starting from the event’s commencement:
Alolan Rattata
Alolan Meowth
Alolan Grimer
Sniebel
Fiffyen
Skunkapuh
Felilou
The Challenge: Similar to the Xerneas event, you will face a challenge that all trainers will tackle simultaneously. If you complete it, you will unlock additional bonuses starting from May 25th. The task is to defeat a total of 25 million Rocket Grunts from the start of the event until May 23rd. If you succeed, you will receive triple catch experience points, the chance to catch shiny Galar-Zigzachs (which will remain available even after the event), and Galar-Zigzachs in Level-1 raids. These bonuses will last until May 31st, with the exception of shiny Galar-Zigzachs.
Yveltal Event Part 2
When does it start? It starts on Tuesday, May 25th, at 10:00 AM. The second part of the event runs until May 31st at 8:00 PM.
What happens there? The second part of the Yveltal event mainly revolves around Eevee. A few weeks ago, trainers discovered the name trick for Feelinara. Now this evolution of Eevee will finally become a part of Pokémon GO.
Feelinara comes to Pokémon GO – You can evolve Eevee into Feelinara by making it your buddy and earning hearts
In the wild, you will encounter Eevee, Trasla, Parfi, Flauschling, and other Dark-type Pokémon from Part 1 of the event
From 7 km eggs, you can hatch Eevee, Pii, Fluffeluff, Togepi, Azurill, Parfi, and Flauschling
In Level-3 raids, you will encounter Aquana, Blitza, Flamara, Psiana, and Nachtara.
Research will also focus on Eevee and its evolutions
Unlearning Frustration in May 2021
Why it’s worth it: Whether you are excited about the spawns and egg changes for the event or not, an important mechanic will be activated during Part 1 of the event.
You can use a Charged TM to make a Shadow Pokémon forget the Charged attack Frustration
This bonus is important for every trainer who wants to get the most out of their Pokémon collection. It is well known that Shadow Pokémon are stronger than the “normal” forms of Pokémon. Therefore, they should not be purified. To make them forget their Charged attack “Frustration”, events like this are necessary. This way, your Shadow Mewtwo can learn strong moves like Ice Beam and forget Frustration.
So make sure to take advantage of this event to strengthen your Shadow Pokémon even further.
How do you like the event with Yveltal? Have you discovered any highlights like unlearning Frustration that you want to take advantage of? Let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments what you like about the event and what you don’t.
The new Icon Swaps 3 in FIFA 21 impress with strong rewards that allow for good legends. “Finally,” many players feel.
These are the Icon Swaps 3: The third round of the Icon Swap was released on May 10 and presents players with a new set of tasks. Completing these earns “Icon Swap Tokens.” These tokens can then be exchanged for the various rewards, which are really strong this time. The list looks as follows:
Icons:
Prime Icon Moments Schweinsteiger (92) – for 6 tokens
Prime Icon Moments Stoichkov (93) – for 8 tokens
Prime Icon Best (93) – for 11 tokens
Prime Icon Puskas (94) – for 13 tokens
Prime Icon Ferdinand (91) – for 15 tokens
Prime Icon Vieira (91) – for 17 tokens
Packs:
81+ x25 Pack – for 1 token
83+ x25 Pack – for 2 tokens
84+ x20 Pack – for 3 tokens
Icon Moments Pack – for 5 tokens
92+ Icon Moments Pack – for 7 tokens
92+ Prime Icon Player Pick – for 9 tokens
Icon Moments Player Pick – for 10 tokens
92+ Icon Moments Midfielder Player Pick – for 12 tokens
92+ Icon Moments Striker Player Pick – for 15 tokens
93+ Icon Moments Player Pick – for 16 tokens
In total, you can earn 18 tokens, of which 9 are currently available. The second half will be added at a later date. The crucial point is that even 18 tokens are not enough to obtain all rewards – you will have to choose. And that is not easy for the players this time.
The rewards are really good this time
“Why couldn’t Icon Swaps always be at this wow level?”
This is different this time: The second Icon Swaps batch caused criticism among some players. The icons offered there were not strong enough for the effort put into the tasks compared to the packs that could be obtained for relatively few tokens.
This time, however, the Icon Swaps offer a strong mix of good icon cards, icon packs, and player packs, which give hope for strong cards. Essentially, there is something for everyone, which is well received, including in the FIFA subreddit (via reddit).
“Why couldn’t Icon Swaps always be at this wow level? Relative to the performance curve at release, of course. This looks incredible,” one user commented (via reddit).
“Compared to what we had before, this is absolutely great. Finally, a chance for casuals to actually get something,” another commented (via reddit).
“Oh my god, as an Arsenal fan this is great and heartbreaking. I have to take Vieira, but I’ll miss out on so many delicious options,” a third user saw a little dilemma ahead (via reddit).
Some players emphasize how difficult it is to decide this time. One can wonderfully take the strong packs for few tokens – after all, they currently offer a good chance for TOTS cards. But that can also backfire, resulting in just mediocre cards.
Then there’s the possibility of Icon Packs or Player Picks. Here, one has the chance to pull really strong icons that are even better than the “safe” icons from the swaps. On the other hand, there’s also a chance to get comparatively weak icons, and then to have spent a lot of tokens.
And lastly, there are the safe icons, which are actually very useful this time. Players like Puskas, Ferdinand, or Vieira are real top cards, and Best, Stoichkov, and Schweinsteiger can improve many teams.
Which options will you choose? Let us know in the comments. And if you’re looking for an upgrade for your team that costs no coins: Check out TOTS Isak.

It is official: Rambo comes to Call of Duty: Warzone and Black Ops Cold War. The taciturn action hero is starting a second career in CoD and comes as an operator or skin into the game. MeinMMO shows you the date, trailer, and what else you can expect.
When does Rambo come? Next week Thursday, on May 20th. The official Twitter account of Call of Duty showed a date with a fitting trailer:
Whether the popular film character comes as its own operator or as a skin for an existing operator is still not known. The only thing certain is that starting next week you can start your quest for revenge in Call of Duty: Warzone and Black Ops Cold War and have the license for vigilantism.
Rambo as “poster boy” for the Season Reloaded update?
Is there more coming on May 20th? There are no official announcements yet, but the date fits for the mid-season update:
Start of Season 3 – April 22nd
End of the Battle Pass – June 16th
Rambo update – May 20th
This could mean that besides the crossover, other content from the Season 3 roadmap will come into the game.
There are still two weapons missing from the roadmap in the game – the submachine gun “AMP63” and the melee weapon “Baseball Bat”. For Warzone, there are even three weapons: the ballistic knife is currently only active in Cold War and has already been announced for the mid-season update.
For Cold War, new maps could also come into the game on May 20th. The classic “Standoff” is ready to go and for the large Fireteam modes, “Duga” is likely to be added. Duga is currently only available in the Zombie mode “Outbreak” . Additionally, the “Multi-Team Elimination” mode could come to Cold War. This is a mode similar to “Battle Royale” (via GameStar).
In the bottom right, there is also another exciting tile on the roadmap – “MIDSEASON EVENT”. However, it is still not known what it is about. It might be related to the action heroes that are supposed to come into the game. In addition to the Rambo hints, there was also a hint about John McClane from “Die Hard”.
Warzone talks about “biggest season yet” and refers to mid-season
According to statements from Amos Hodge, the Creative Director of Raven Software, Warzone players can look forward to the mid-season update. Hodge revealed in an interview about the release of Season 3: “What we saw today was just the beginning. […] there is a lot of content in 3.5. This is our biggest season yet” (via videogameschronicle).
The map update of the large map Verdansk and the Adler event for the season start have set the bar. But to really become the biggest season yet, Season 3 would need to deliver more. So far, there are officially no concrete announcements – apart from the action stars that are coming as characters into the battle royale. As soon as there are news, you will find the most important info here on MeinMMO.
The alpha launch of the MMORPG Ashes of Creationin Junewill not work either. Creative Director Steven Sharif explained that the date is very unfavorable and that players will have to wait a little longer as a result.
What was said about the alpha date? Originally, the alpha of the MMORPG Ashes of Creation was supposed to start in 2019, but there were delays in development at that time. The subsequent date in autumn 2020 could not be met either, because important bugs needed to be fixed.
My friends, some recent developments have prompted me to reassess our upcoming testing schedules and make some necessary adjustments. I will move the NDA release and the launch date of Alpha One from June 1 to July.
ESO: Blackwood and WoW TBC Classic are tough competition
Therefore, Ashes of Creation would have two strong competitors to contend with. With an alpha, this is likely to be difficult, as it does not showcase the finished game, but many features are still in an early state and not all content is available.
Steven Sharif believes:
Several new expansions for other live games were announced that would have coincided with our testing launch on June 1. We estimate that about 25% of our current test pool are active players in those titles. This fact forces our testers to choose between participating in our testing environment (which will be a long and arduous task) or playing an expansion with their friends in other popular titles.
Additionally, several systems such as the sieges and battles of Ashes of Creation still need to be tested. Furthermore, staff will be returning to the office in June, which would have made it difficult to adequately monitor the test.
When will testing take place? Steven Sharif stated that a planned preview test weekend starting May 14 for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday will still take place. This test will be followed by another preview weekend from July 9 to 11.
The actual alpha test will then start on July 14 and will last until August 13. There is no NDA for the alpha and the preview weekend in July. Players are therefore allowed to report about their experiences.
What does the alpha include? Steven Sharif announced what you can expect from the alpha:
It is a server stress test to check performance when many players log in.
The node system will be tested. You can improve the node in your zone and experience what effects this has – for example on culture, quests, crafting, NPCs, vendors, housing, the government system, taxes, and more.
You can improve your hero using experience points, experience the effects of death, understand how the inventory works, and test combat and classes, loot, party management, and more in an early state.
Trade caravans, general trade, mounts, raids, guild progression, bosses, spawns, recipes, crafting, sieges, dungeons, quests, and dialogues are included in a basic version.

The auction houses of WoW Classic are closing temporarily. If you still want to buy or sell something, you should hurry.
Big changes are coming soon to World of Warcraft Classic. The auction houses in all cities are closing, thus restricting trade. In preparation for the first expansion, players will have to rely on traditional trading – at least for a few days.
What will happen? All auction houses in World of Warcraft Classic will temporarily stop their services. You will not be able to sell your materials and weapons in the auction house, nor will you be able to purchase items for crafting or enchantments.
Instead, players will have to revert to old-fashioned trading and contact other players directly if they want to buy or sell goods among themselves.
When will this happen? The auction house will close on May 14 at 7:00 PM. Only about 5 days later, after the maintenance, the auction houses will be available again starting May 19.
Why is the auction house closing? WoW Classic is taking the step towards the first expansion Burning Crusade Classic in a few days. As a new addon is being implemented, the developers will create a “snapshot” of the player characters. This will allow players to clone their characters or move to a pure “Classic Era” realm.
Since items in the auction house technically still belong to the character, there will likely be a block of 4 days. After 3 days, all items will have been returned at the latest and will be in the mailbox, ensuring nothing goes missing.
So, if anyone wants to buy or sell items in the next few days, they should do it promptly. Because those who post items at the last moment are essentially throwing away their gold. After all, other players will no longer be able to access the auction house. The costs for posting items will not be refunded.
So plan ahead and stock up on everything you want to have before the big pre-patch.

Today, on Tuesday, May 11, the Fortnite servers are going down across all platforms (PC/Mac, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, Android). Meanwhile, the new update 16.40 has been rolled out. What’s in the new patch?
What’s happening today in Fortnite? The update 16.40 has been announced by Fortnite Status on Twitter and will be rolled out today (via Twitter). The patch is expected to bring some changes to the game.
Update 11:50 AM: The update 16.40 has now been rolled out. We have gathered the most important new features for you and will summarize them here.
Patch Notes for Update 16.40
What’s different now? The update 16.40 brought some changes to the game that may not be immediately obvious. Here’s what to expect after downloading:
New Mythic Weapon “Spire Guardian’s Ancient Assault Rifle” has been added (via Twitter)
New location on the map “Isla nublada” – The misty island south of Flush Factory, home to a new NPC (via Twitter)
The new exotic weapon “Marksman Six Shooter” is now in the game
The update 16.40 brought new weapons and now another exotic weapon for Season 6 has been added. With the Marksman, you can shoot particularly fast – but you must aim well, as there are only 6 shots before reloading, and it does not deal as much damage per hit. The data miner iFireMonkey shows the stats of the new weapon:
Now, let’s continue with the original server downtime article.
Fortnite servers are going down – when and for how long?
Downtime start in the morning: The downtime for the update starts today at 10:00 AM German time. At 9:30 AM, you can join a new match for the last time, afterward the servers will be taken down and Fortnite will be down for a period of time.
How long will the maintenance last? Based on experiences from the past weeks and months, the work should be completed around noon.
Technical issues or other delays could lead to an extension of the maintenance. If that happens, you will find out about it right here on MeinMMO.
Before players can again enjoy the map of Season 6, the servers will first be taken down
When will the patch notes come? Based on past experience from the recent updates in the new chapter of Fortnite, there will likely be no or only superficial patch notes for the battle royale mode.
However, if significant changes are being rolled out, we will gather them for you and add them here in the article as a mini-version of the patch notes.
What new content does update 16.40 bring?
What new features will there be in the battle royale mode? Fortnite Status has highlighted some novelties and changes when announcing the update on Twitter. Here’s what you can expect after the downtime:
A new exotic weapon: “Marksman Six Shooter”
More summery scenery for Creative mode
A new “wild week” starting May 13
The shotgun “The Dub” is being vaulted
Additionally, today marks the end of the first wild week and thus also the opportunity to get a free pickaxe. We will likely see what the next wild week will bring.
In Creative mode mayhem, you could secure these 2 gifts this week
Fortnite does not seem to bring too many changes with update 16.40, but there are a few things to experiment with again – like the new mythic weapon. However, it is likely that several bugs will be fixed as well. It will be exciting, as Season 6 is coming to an end soon.
Apparently, you won’t have to wait much longer for the official reveal of Battlefield 6 – although it may be a bit longer than recent leaks and rumors suggested.
This was the situation regarding Battlefield 6: In 2021, the Battlefield series is expected to get a new installment – Battlefield 6. However, official information has been scarce so far.
Leaks and rumors speak of a modern setting, recently leaked alleged images support these claims. Moreover, there are supposed to be significantly larger maps, more destruction physics, and higher player counts in matches. The new Battlefield is said to be increasingly inspired by one of the best installments – namely Battlefield 3. And actually, rumors also mentioned that the game should be officially revealed in May, but lately, the supposed hints have intensified (through potential leaked audio lines from the trailer).
At least regarding the reveal timeframe, there is now official certainty.
Battlefield 6 will be unveiled in June
This is now the announcement: Recently, there has finally been official information about the highly anticipated Battlefield 6. The official Twitter account of the game revealed with a pun when the new title is to be presented. In June 2021, it will finally go “Boom”.

So, you won’t have to wait much longer for the official presentation; the reveal is indeed just around the corner. But it is a bit longer than the leaks that already mentioned May.
When exactly will the Battlefield 6 reveal take place? Currently, there is no more precise date from official sources. However, EA’s “EA Play Live” event is scheduled from June 12 to 15, where new games will be presented, among other things. It is quite likely and reasonable that Battlefield 6 could be officially revealed during this event.
Are you already eager for concrete information about Battlefield 6? What are your biggest hopes and wishes for the new installment? Let us know in the comments along with other readers from MeinMMO.

In terms of genres, we generally focused on multiplayer shooters and include here, for example, hero shooters or loot shooters to present you with a wider selection.
When it comes to age ratings, we use the USK rating.

Developer: Valve/Hidden Path Entertainment | Release: August 21, 2012 | Platforms: PC, PS3, Xbox 360 | CS: GO website | Rating on Steam: 88% | Rating on Metacritic: 83/100
What is CS: GO? The team-based, tactical multiplayer shooter essentially offers classic gameplay. This includes game modes such as Deathmatch, as well as hostage rescue and bomb defusal. Two teams compete against each other on various maps, trying to achieve their objectives or secure victory.
These game modes are offered by CS: GO: You can compete with others in CS: GO in these game modes:
Deathmatch: Both teams can respawn and have a quota of “lives.” The team that runs out of lives loses.
Wingman: In 2v2 fights, you compete for victory.
Flying Scout Sniper: In this 8v8 mode, reduced gravity applies. The team that wins 9 rounds first wins the match.
Gun Game: In this mode, you have to fight your way through to better weapons on the map.
Destruction: Both teams start with equipment and must take turns attacking a single point on various maps.
Danger Zone: This is a battle royale mode where 18 players compete in an ever-shrinking arena.
Competitive: See below “What is special about the game?”
Classic Bomb Defusal and Hostage Rescue
What is special about the game? CS: GO is primarily played in the “Competitive” mode. This is also where the professional eSports matches take place, with two teams of 5 players each competing against each other. A best-of-30 system determines the winning team.
Teamplay is extremely important. The players must work well together and know exactly how to proceed.

Through streaming, general organization, and also the public participation of fans, the whole thing has probably taken on more of an event character in recent years, where most guilds see themselves as participants. Logically – after all, they are not only fighting for a good place in the rankings but also for a good reputation and a positive impression in the community.
If you’re interested in more details from the German WoW pro scene, you should listen to the full interview because it’s worth it.
The raids in World of Warcraft have improved over the years. “Blizzard can just do it,” says the head of the best German Alliance guild.
The first professional guilds of World of Warcraft have already started preparing for the next raid in Patch 9.1 Chains of Domination. After all, 10 new bosses are waiting, and there is a lot to do. But what is raiding like in a German pro guild, and how do they view international competition? YouTuber Geezax was able to ask professional Lanyx about it.
Who’s speaking? The answers to the questions were given by Lanyx, guild and raid leader of the guild “ad hoc gaming.” In the realm of mythic raiding, “ad hoc gaming” is currently the best German Alliance guild, ranked 2nd overall in Germany behind the Horde guild Aversion. You also frequently encounter “ad hoc gaming” in the global rankings, where they currently hold 26th place (via raider.io).
The interview was conducted by Geezax. He mainly engages with guides, discussions, and analyses on his YouTube channel and on Twitch – or in this interview.
For many expansions, raiding has been getting better
Primarily, of course, the conversation revolved around the raids and thus also the quality of the game content. While criticism often comes from the community that the developers have run out of ideas or that raids today are simply not as fascinating as they used to be, many professional players see it differently. Lanyx adds:
Of course, there are things like Conduit Power, that you have charges to switch your conduits – that’s all nonsense and crap. But at the end of the day, the raids we get are really good. Ny’alotha, for example, was also a great raid.
The only thing that diminished the fun of the raid in Ny’alotha a bit was the Corruption system. That they tuned that in the content and brought hotfixes was all nonsense. But we really keep getting better raids. And that’s what makes it fun for me. (…)
So raiding has been getting better since I started playing the game. [Since Blackhand – Warlords of Draenor] I wouldn’t say that any raid has been really bad. It’s always getting better. They can actually do that.
Lanyx’s only major criticism of the last raid was the fight against the Stone Generals. The fight was extremely RNG-heavy at the beginning. So it could be that one had a good or worse attempt purely by chance, without the players being able to have a significant influence on it. Thus, the second-to-last boss felt more like a final boss, which slightly diminished the sense of achievement when defeating Denathrius. However, “ad hoc gaming” is not alone in this criticism – it has generally been criticized by all larger guilds.
Nevertheless, it remains to be concluded that raids in World of Warcraft have become better and more fun over the years. There is fundamentally little to criticize. Only the accompanying systems, such as Conduit Power, Corruption, or Titan Forging diminish the joy of playing. However, this has primarily little to do with the design of the raids.

In casual guilds, “more players play for themselves”
In recent years, it has become common for many guilds to have a 21st person observing the raid from the outside. They then have a clear head and can overview everything and give tips that other players may sometimes miss in the heat of battle. Sometimes, this role is also taken on by the raid lead, who then only assumes an observing and supporting role – even if that means they are not present with their own character during the first kill. Lanyx says:
For me, for example, it isn’t important whether I’m there with my own character during the first kill, because the well-being and success of the guild is what excites me about raiding. The success – together. So that you achieve something, have fun together, and set goals that you can actually achieve.
For some, however, it’s actually … they lead a guild and they want to be part of it, want to get the achievement the first time, and so on. (…) That is really something only for guilds that have the motivation to go further up. (…) That’s the difference to, let’s say casual or worse guilds, where people play more for themselves and not for the well-being or common good of the others.

“The German scene has always been very challenging”
When asked about competition with other guilds, especially in the German scene, Lanyx also provided some interesting insights. The climate seems to have changed in recent years. Previously, there were often jabs. Specifically, he states:
Competition in Germany was always a topic until recently. The German scene has always been very challenging because – I don’t know if it can be called competition, but there was a lot of jabs. This has changed due to all the streaming and Aversion, as they are also somewhat of an organization and do – it has changed a lot. I really feel that we are all supporting each other.
Through streaming, general organization, and also the public participation of fans, the whole thing has probably taken on more of an event character in recent years, where most guilds see themselves as participants. Logically – after all, they are not only fighting for a good place in the rankings but also for a good reputation and a positive impression in the community.

Call of Duty: Warzone has a huge selection of weapons and yet some new firearms manage to find a special niche because they bring unique values. The tactical rifle CARV.2 is one of them. MeinMMO shows you what makes the weapon strong and why it’s in a dilemma.
What kind of rifle is this? The CARV.2 is another tactical rifle from Black Ops Cold War for Call of Duty: Warzone. Like the AUG and the M16, the CARV fires 3 shots with a single trigger pull and is thus classified as a burst rifle.
However, unlike its burst counterparts that made Season 2 uncertain, the CARV.2 focuses on less range and offers more damage in return. This puts it in a previously unique position in the Battle Royale Warzone, but it also causes issues. Because although it is playable at all distances, it struggles at the shortest and longest ranges.
MeinMMO shows you in which areas the CARV.2 shines, which setups will help you advance, and its place in Warzone.
CARV.2 is unique – But that brings problems
What makes the weapon strong? The CARV.2 is a stable burst rifle that distinguishes itself from the competition through its fire rate. You can fire bullets at your enemies significantly faster with this weapon than with the range-oriented counterparts M16 and AUG – but it still requires only 3 bursts for a kill, regardless of the distance.
The high fire rate gives the CARV the best time-to-kill among burst rifles and makes it strong in an area where the alternatives struggle somewhat – at short to medium range. If you fire a bit slower and don’t utilize the maximum fire rate, the CARV remains stable enough to be effective at greater distances as well.
Thus, the CARV is a strong all-rounder and can be used at almost any distance. The good playability is supported by a pleasant high mobility – as is the case with most weapons from Cold War in Warzone.
In Warzone, it’s best to do this in the Plunder mode. Land in a popular spot (in Plunder, Storage Town in the west is almost always well populated), get your “double kill,” and exit the game. The kills must happen quickly one after the other, otherwise, the “double kill” won’t count.
Unlike in multiplayer, you don’t need to finish the matches. However, the final blow counts for the kills – simply downing an opponent is not enough. But you can also take down players who have been downed by other teams – that counts towards your “double kills” too.
Where does the CARV.2 struggle? The tactical rifle acts like a “specialist” for medium range, and that is a problem. You can only carry two firearms in Warzone – ideally one for close combat and one for long-range kills. But with the CARV, you have to decide: Either you support the weapon with a close combat weapon or you bring something for the range with you.
However, one area suffers from this, which is typically range. The CARV generally feels more comfortable here, and a secondary weapon for close combat makes more sense. But even though the CARV is very stable, hitting targets at longer distances becomes increasingly difficult, especially if you want to take full advantage of the fire rate.
A disadvantage compared to the burst rifles M16 and AUG is also their poorer headshots. While the two competitors only need one headshot to achieve kills with two bursts, the CARV requires two headshots to decrease the time-to-kill.
Pro
Special all-round rifle focusing on medium range
Best TTK of the burst weapons at range
Pleasant mobility
TTK remains the same at all ranges
Contra
Burst rifle
Less effective in close combat and at longer distances
Requires 2 headshots for 2-burst kills
CoD Warzone: CARV.2 Setup – Allrounder
Muzzle: Agency Suppressor
Barrel: 20.8″ Task Force
Optic: Visiontech 2x
Ammo: 45 Round Drum
Grip: Snake Wrap
What makes the setup strong? With this attachment mix, you support the role of the CARV as a specialist for medium range. The barrel maximizes your fire rate and improves the TTK potential of the tactical rifle. To strengthen the CARV in close combat, the Snake Grip helps, and with the Visiontech 2x, you have a strong optic for hits at medium range.
The Agency Suppressor is (as almost always) a must. The muzzle attachment increases bullet velocity, range, and provides sound suppression. This is rounded off with a larger magazine. To minimize setbacks on other values, choose the first magazine with 45 rounds.
What makes the setup strong? Due to its high stability, the CARV can also serve as a long-range rifle. Our second setup gives the weapon a bonus for distance kills.
Attach the Ulan barrel to the CARV – it gives you the biggest bonus to important bullet speed. Together with the Agency Suppressor, you achieve over 1,000 meters/second, providing a good value for distance kills.
Instead of a grip, the Field Agent Underbarrel is worthwhile. This makes the CARV even more stable – which it needs, as you zoom in a lot with the “Axial Arms 3x” optic, and the optical recoil increases correspondingly.
If you want to see gameplay of the weapon, check out the German YouTuber “Fantou.” We embed a video from him where he plays two matches with the CARV.2. Fantou gets the weapon for the first time at 4:00 minutes:

Conclusion: CARV.2 fills a niche that no one asked for
The CARV.2 is an exciting weapon for everyone who enjoyed the burst rifle meta in Season 2. It has less range, but more damage than the two overachievers in Season 2 – AUG and M16. This fills a niche, and Warzone now offers a tactical rifle with the CARV that generally caters to shorter distances.
However, it can’t truly convince you with that and is in a dilemma:
Together with a close combat weapon, you lose effectiveness at range
Together with a long-range weapon, you are weaker in close combat
For aggressive players, the CARV.2 can be a strong option if you are looking for a firearm that offers you easy kills at medium distance to complement your close combat weapon. If you like to press the pace and rush every team you see, the CARV can be an interesting tool. Most of the time, your combat distances will then be relatively short, and for all enemies that are too far for your close combat weapons, the CARV.2 is ready. When you aim the tactical rifle for firing, you also have something for longer distances.
However, long-range assault rifles also work very well as a secondary weapon to a close combat rifle and offer a better time-to-kill. Although the CARV shines with its accurate 3-round bursts, many players prefer automatic weapons, and the CARV offers a solution to a problem that no one actually has.
Strong players in FIFA 21 are often quite expensive. However, through the current challenges, you can get Alexander Isak, a dangerous striker – and without having to spend coins.
What kind of card is this? Bundesliga fans will remember the name Alexander Isak from BVB, but the Swede is now scoring goals for the Spanish club Real Sociedad. And he is doing so reliably enough that Isak received a Team-of-the-Season card during the La Liga TOTS event.
The twist: it is not available in packs or on the transfer market, but in the current objectives of Ultimate Team. This means you can earn the card without having to open packs or spend coins.
And if you’re looking for a really good striker, you should definitely check this out. The card’s stats are impressive: Isak combines speed with great dribbling, strong shooting, and decent passing. He also has good physicality, four stars for skills, and a full five stars on his weak foot. If you equip Isak with an Engine style, it won’t be fun for your opponents.
Moreover, the 1.92-meter tall forward has the body type “High & Lean”, which is extremely unusual. At the moment, you can find this combination next to Isak only with Anderson Talisca – and the Brazilian was a very popular meta card in the early days of the season.
In short: With Isak, FIFA 21 has released one of the best objective cards ever. And to get it, you don’t have to conquer particularly difficult challenges.
How to get TOTS Alexander Isak
What you need to do for Isak: Overall, you have to complete 5 objectives. All of them take place in the “LaLiga Connections” mode, so in friendly matches. You don’t have to worry about your players’ stats or contracts, as the matches do not affect your footballers’ contract status. This also means that you can use loan players unlimitedly as long as they have at least one game left on their contract.
In this mode, you have to complete the tasks
The tasks are as follows:
Crossing Art: Prepare 3 goals via crosses in the Live FUT Friendly “LaLiga Connections”.
Goal with the weak foot: Score 4 goals using players with at least 4 stars on their weak foot in the Live FUT Friendly “LaLiga Connections”.
Sociedad Scorer: Score 15 goals in the Live FUT Friendly “LaLiga Connections”.
Winning Streak: Win 9 matches in the Live FUT Friendly “LaLiga Connections”.
Sneaky Scorer: Score in 11 separate matches in the Live FUT Friendly “LaLiga Connections” with players that have at least 4-star skill moves.
Which players can I use? In this mode, you need 11 LaLiga players in your starting lineup, coming from at least 6 clubs and at least 4 nations. On the bench, however, you can use any players you want. So theoretically, you could also bring on three players who do not come from LaLiga.
It is advisable to include as many players as possible with at least four stars on their weak foot and skills in your squad. Then you don’t have to be too picky about which player you use to complete each objective.
Many players have completed Valheim by now and are still waiting for the first major content update from the developers. However, that will take some time. Nevertheless, there is new content, just no official one. Some mods finally breathe life into the previously unused areas of Valheim.
What is this new content? The mod “Forgotten Biomes” from modder Alree makes the northern and southern parts of the map more vibrant. At the poles of the disc world of Valheim are the Ash Lands and the Deep North.
Both areas are already in the game and accessible, but still empty. There are a few scattered standard enemies and an unusable ore, but nothing more. With “Forgotten Biomes,” both the Ash Lands and the Deep North receive new content, such as:
Ore deposits of various kinds
Resources like stones
Vegetation
Spawn points for enemies
Special locations like castles, ruins, and more
In addition, the biomes have special effects. Just like it always rains in the swamp, there is an ash rain in the Ash Lands. The rain and the area set you on fire continuously if you don’t use fire protection or stand in water. You can get fire protection from mead, for example. In our guide, you can learn how to make mead and wine.
The Ash Lands and the Deep North receive an overhaul with the mod. Image source: NexusMods.
Fire Dragons and Burning Skeletons
This is how the biomes become even more lively: If you want to find not only resources but also enemies in the biomes, the mod “Monsternomicon” will help you. This mod brings some new enemy types for the Ash Lands and the ocean:
Storm Herald Wyvern (Ocean)
Drowned Soul (Ocean)
Surtlings and Elder Surtlings (Ash Lands)
Ash Eater Nymphs and Ash Eater Tadpoles (Ash Lands)
Burning Bones (Ash Lands)
Fire Breather Dragon (Ash Lands)
The creator emphasizes that he has a lot of fun programming and wants to bring more enemies in the “not too distant future,” perhaps even for the Deep North.

The two areas are unofficial content made by fans. The developers are still working on improving Valheim and fixing bugs. After all, the game is still in Early Access despite all its success on Steam.
Next up is the update “Hearth and Home,” which is supposed to improve crafting, building, and cooking. However, when exactly the update will arrive is still unknown.
Many players have now achieved everything they can or want to in Valheim. They are now eagerly waiting for more content. Some of this new content can already be explored now to prepare for what’s to come. However, you should have a certain resistance to disgust:
Elyon launched its first Closed Beta in the West on May 7. It has received some harsh criticism. MeinMMO editor Alexander Leitsch has spent over 20 hours in the new MMORPG. Although he sees no hit potential in the MMORPG, Elyon serves a particular niche well.
What is my first impression of Elyon? Quite mixed:
Especially at the beginning, I felt like I was playing a rather soulless Asia-MMORPG, primarily due to the generic visuals. This feeling was even reinforced by the quests starting at level 22, as grinding becomes the main focus from then on.
However, after switching classes and reaching level 30, I suddenly experienced a change in Elyon, which I will explain in the article. So don’t write it off too early!
Where does the comparison with Bless come from? Bless Online was a Korean MMORPG that came to the West in 2018. The game featured an action-packed combat system and PvP battles in an open world. Additionally, it aimed to impress with a special system for taming animals.
However, at launch, there were technical issues, some promises were not kept, and many players felt that the world was too empty and generic. All points that could also affect Elyon.
What is behind Elyon? The Buy2Play MMORPG Elyon comes from Korea and was developed by the creators of TERA. You can choose from 5 or later 6 different classes, which quest in an open world and experience a story.
As you progress through the game, you unlock various dungeons, housing, and PvP content. Starting around level 30, open-world PvP is also added, which is not optional. Right from character creation, you join one of two factions and can then be killed while playing and questing starting at level 30.
What does Elyon do well? After nearly 20 hours of playtime, I am particularly impressed by 4 things in the game:
The general combat system
The dungeons
The PvP arenas
The character progression
What makes the fights so good? Even in the first seconds of the game, I noticed the combat system positively. You have to aim your attacks dynamically, there is a dodge roll, and an automatic stun break included, so you can escape crowd control effects like being knocked down or held with just a key press. Plus, I have to stay on the ball constantly. Many enemies have heavy attacks that are well represented by animations and telegraphs.
A highlight for me is the abilities for which I first need to mark targets. Once I have selected the targets accordingly, projectiles are sent towards them that are guaranteed to hit. I have only seen such a mechanic in TERA before.
I marked 3 of the wolves, but not the others.
However, the dynamic feel is somewhat dampened by the long animations and sometimes clunky animations. Personally, I prefer the combat system of Black Desert over that of Elyon, simply because it is overall more dynamic and offers more action. Nevertheless, fighting in Elyon has been a lot of fun so far.
What is behind the dungeons? With level 28 (about 2-3 hours of playtime), the first solo dungeon is unlocked. In this dungeon, I fight in a mine against a gang of goblins and at the end against a giant troll.
It’s particularly fun to fight here because while the troll has powerful attacks, they can be recognized and dodged easily when the giant swings its paw slowly and tries to slam me into the ground.
By the way, Elyon automatically provides an integrated DPS meter when you are in the dungeon.
The first dungeon boss was not a challenge.
With higher levels, more dungeons become available, with the next two designed only for solo players again. Only at level 36 is the first dungeon for 3 players available. Elyon also offers an automatic group finder or a tool where you can specifically make a request for groups.
My group for the 3 player dungeon was found in no time. The objective of the dungeon is to defend a portal against hordes of enemies. After about 8 waves, a big boss appears, who summons waves regularly, so we mainly focus on the boss. However, the difficulty level is rather manageable, and we don’t lose a single life, but gain plenty of loot.
Additionally, there are specific leaderboards for each dungeon. You can become immortalized if you are fast enough. Besides the useful loot, it gives another incentive to revisit the dungeons later.
The Solo Dungeon Goblin Cave has already been completed by good players in under 2 minutes.
What were my first adventures in PvP like? Elyon offers 3 interesting PvP contents:
Arenas in 1v1, 3v3, and 5v5
Realm battles, where the two factions fight against each other on different maps
Open-world PvP
My first touches with PvP were when I reached level 32 in the open world. And it’s quite frustrating because sometimes I get taken down out of nowhere by players who are well above my level.
The arena PvP, on the other hand, was really fun. Here, I automatically face other players in a small arena. My first match only lasts 11 seconds, and then an Elementalist, who is 6 levels above me, has already defeated me.
In 1v1, Elyon shines in my opinion.
In the following matches, however, I have fairly balanced fights, and Elyon can shine through its dynamics. As a Mystic, I can often CC opponents and hold them in my AoE effects or keep melee fighters at a distance. This gives me a significant advantage. On the other hand, I have little defense, so just a few attacks are enough to take me down.
I defeat an Assassin who is 2 levels below me in just under 30 seconds. Against another Mystic, I experience a fight that lasts nearly 3 minutes.
The dynamics and the fights remind me a lot of Blade & Soul in the arenas. And again, there are leaderboards, through which you can compare yourself with other players. A definite plus for me.
How does character development work? Elyon relies on 4 things for character development:
An artifact system that allows me to modify abilities
Runestones that provide bonus attributes and special effects
Skill trees that are unlocked at later levels
An equipment system that works with upgrades, which can also fail
It is noticeable that in the midgame, the development has a very significant influence and is a lot of fun. In the endgame, however, it tends to lean towards pay2win if the shop remains as it is in Korea.
What else did I enjoy? During gameplay, I experienced two things that happened rather randomly.
On one hand, there are world events that appear randomly. Then you have 60 seconds to accept a fight invitation, and you are then teleported into an instance with other players. There, various world bosses are fought.
On the other hand, there are smaller riddle dungeons when you get a corresponding treasure map. I mostly dropped this treasure map by chance. This treasure map teleports me to different dungeons where I have to collect treasures:
One dungeon reminded me of Smaug’s cave from The Hobbit. A dragon lies on the treasure, and I must stealthily steal chests around him.
In another dungeon, the chests disappear again if you’re not quick enough. Additionally, I am attacked by giant soap bubbles that lift me into the air temporarily if they catch me.
The third riddle dungeon consists of coins that I need to collect. However, giant rolling stones continually come toward me that knock me down. Here, skillful dodging plays an important role, and I feel almost like in Indiana Jones.
Collecting loot while battling dragons or here against soap bubbles.
Another small highlight is the housing system, which I could only test briefly. Here, I will be teleported into my own instance that I can freely decorate. At the beginning, a house with furniture is already there, but I can make any changes.
There is also a farm system through which I can cultivate vegetables and other things. However, I can’t yet say how it works. If desired, players can also visit friends and strangers through the interface.
Those who wish can decorate their house as well as the surrounding area.
Elyon also offers plenty of other familiar MMORPG content, including:
Fishing
Daily quests
A collection system with sets similar to ESO
An auction house
Titles and achievements
The scope of Elyon is already impressive at launch.
Problems with onboarding, open PvP, pay2win, and the lack of soul
What does Elyon do poorly? I see the 5 major problems with Elyon as:
The general “lack of soul”
The weak onboarding
The open PvP
Daily limitations
Pay2win
What do I mean by “lack of soul”? Good MMORPGs have something that makes them special and gives them a certain recognizability. In WoW, it’s the special graphics and the extensive lore. Black Desert excels with graphics, the action combat system, and the economic system.
Elyon, on the other hand, looks optically uninspired and monotonous. It also offers few unique characteristics that could be specifically highlighted. The onboarding feels incredibly generic.
You run through random areas, kill random mobs, listen to a completely uninteresting story, and in the end, even many things in the game look the same.
Additionally, it becomes evident right away that there wasn’t even an attempt to be creative regarding the quests. There’s an NPC who immediately assigns 7 tasks, and then you move on. The story quests are minimally more varied but are constantly tied to new level-ups. And for that, you first have to grind.
An NPC immediately assigns 10 tasks that all play out exactly the same.
This sets it apart starkly from Swords of Legends Online, which, although also an Asia-MMORPG, specifically aims to tell an Asian story and has a clear structure in the game world. That may not be for everyone, but you immediately know what you are dealing with.
This also makes the onboarding in Elyon so slow. Cool content like housing, PvP, Realm vs Realm, or dungeons only become available starting at level 28, with some even only starting at level 36. For that, you have to invest several hours into the game that are hardly enjoyable.
The right class to start: Those who start with the wrong class also have extreme problems in Elyon. Because while the Assassin and the Gunner were a lot of fun for me, the Warlord was an absolute disaster and played out somewhat slowly and uninspired. As an Elementalist and Mystic, I each had a mixed start.
It’s important to remember that the Holy Trinity plays a role, and especially Warlords (tanks) and Mystics (healers) will have a more important role there. This makes them more attractive again in the endgame.
The 5 classes in Elyon – Warlord, Elementalist, Mystic, Assassin, and Gunner.
What is difficult about PvP? Both in open-world fights and in Realm vs Realm, I face a clear problem: I lose 5% of my collected XP if I die. And there is hardly anything worse for me.
This XP loss completely destroys my Realm vs Realm experience. Here, 100 players from both factions battle against each other on different maps. With my level, I could enter an arena where there were dozens of dragon pups attacking both factions and providing them with loot.
It thus combines PvE and PvP. But in the midst of a huge storm of effects, you sometimes die out of nowhere. And losing 5% XP for that simply wasn’t worth it to me.
Dragons, teammates, and the enemy faction. In this storm of effects, everything goes under.
As I try to reach level 35 for the PvP arenas with my second character, I am immediately taken down multiple times by players from the opposing faction.
As if dying weren’t frustrating enough, this XP loss becomes a real problem for me. By the way, there’s no XP loss in arena PvP. I would have liked that for Realm vs Realm and PvP deaths in the open world as well.
What can you do daily? To get good equipment, you can complete daily quests and dungeons. Both are limited. You can only complete 4 dungeons per day and only 20 daily quests. This can reduce the fun of the game if you want to grind for a whole day on weekends rather than just regularly for a few hours.
The remaining time can then be spent in PvP or grinding in the open world.
What about pay2win? This is still hard to assess. In Korea, there are some pay2win elements in the shop, including:
Materials for upgrading equipment
Items that can prevent equipment destruction
Pets that help with looting and provide small buffs
Premium buffs like more loot and more XP
Storage/inventory expansions
However, it is not yet clear whether the shop will come over 1:1 to the West. In the first beta, the shop was even completely disabled, so we can’t make a definite statement about it yet.
How is Elyon doing in Korea? Currently, Elyon is still among the top 30 most played online games in Korea (via Gamemeca). However, it ranks behind MMORPGs like Lost Ark, Black Desert, and Blade & Soul.
Elyon actually started strong with high player numbers, but some bugs and the mix of content seem to have not kept many players engaged in the long term. However, there have already been some major updates, including seasons for PvP and the new Slayer class.
Elyon has been out in Korea for nearly 6 months, and the initial hype has faded. We will definitely keep an eye on how player numbers develop.
Elyon works for solo players but only up to a certain point
Can Elyon be enjoyed as a solo player? Yes, and at least up to a certain level, it’s actually more fun to be alone, as Elyon works with various instances within quests. This can lead to situations where you suddenly can’t see each other when you’re with several players.
Additionally, there are solo dungeons unlocked starting at level 28 that can only be completed alone and the 1v1 arena.
However, with a higher level, you will increasingly encounter players from the other faction, making solo questing a risk. Solo players are easy prey for enemies who want to take you down in PvP.
For later dungeons, arena PvP, and Realm vs Realm, it will almost be necessary to join a guild.
Elyon will not be a huge flop, but also not a hit
Pros
Dynamic combat system
Cool dungeons
Varied character progression
Small highlights like riddle dungeons, world bosses, housing
Exciting arena PvP
Huge PvP battles
Cons
The onboarding is very boring
It feels generally a bit generic and soulless
Open-world PvP with XP loss
Daily limitations
Potential pay2win
This is what Elyon could best be: An MMORPG that finds a surprisingly large niche for itself. Because especially the leaderboards in dungeons, the arena PvP, and the housing can convince. If you enjoy mass PvP, you can have fun in Realm vs Realm.
However, for Elyon to be successful, Kakao Games as the publisher needs to make several changes, including adjustments to the shop and also removing the XP loss from other players. Ideally, they will even tweak the grind for equipment.
This is what Elyon could worst be: A total flop. And that is not necessarily because the MMORPG is so bad, but because it is arriving in the wrong year. Because 2019 and 2020 saw a dry spell, and many would have welcomed a game like Elyon back then.
But in this year, exciting MMORPGs like Swords of Legends Online, New World, Lost Ark, and several other titles are on the horizon. And since Elyon is not set to launch until Q4 2021, it could simply be forgotten by then. Especially if one of the other MMORPGs hits it big.
My Elementalist from the beta in Elyon.
This is what I believe Elyon will be: I believe the game will find a niche, especially for players who have previously played TERA and Black Desert and are simply looking for a new MMORPG. This target audience is precisely what the game caters to – action-packed fights, grind, dungeons, and PvP.
Anyone who has not previously enjoyed Asia-MMORPGs with grind will likely not develop a taste for it in the future either. But there is a niche that could eagerly embrace a new game and keep it running for several years.
From this niche, however, I believe Elyon will not emerge. It does not have the potential to become the next big blockbuster like WoW, ESO, or FFXIV. But I am equally sure that it will not be shut down like Bless Online after only a year. The sheer amount of content, the combat system, and the technical optimization in the first beta were simply too good.
How do you see Elyon? Have you written it off already, or are you looking forward to the release? And which MMORPG are you looking forward to the most in 2021? Let us know in the comments, but also in this poll: Which new MMORPGs are you most looking forward to in 2021?

The Twitch streamer TimTheTatman is not a big player in CoD Warzone, but sometimes he has a streak. However, this will be ruined by his new arch-nemesis: A hacking stream sniper has set his sights on him.
This is the situation:
TimTheTatman is one of the most popular streamers on Twitch. He is ranked 9th globally among followers. More than 37,000 people watch him when he goes live. He is known for his good-natured, sometimes a bit clumsy style
In CoD Warzone, a stream sniper has been targeting him for several days. A guy named “Wolf” is trying to log into CoD Warzone so that he ends up in TimTheTatman’s games. The stream sniper watches him in the game through his Twitch channel and kills him on purpose. He apparently also uses cheating tools, like an aim-bot
This time TimTheTatman was on an amazing round
Stream sniper kills Twitch streamer 3 times in a few minutes
This makes the kill so bitter: The cruel thing about this action this time was that the round was going exceptionally well for TimTheTatman. The 31-year-old is not usually an outstanding player, but he has his moments. A round in CoD Warzone was now going outstandingly well.
After about 15 minutes, TimTheTatman had 21 kills and was in a great mood. He was caught up in fantasies of omnipotence in the chat with his friends. He talked about how he would now kill the entire lobby and surpass his “personal record” of 29 kills in a CoD Warzone match.
But out of nowhere, he was shot by a sniper. His first reaction was immediately: “I’m going to sue this sniper. I’m not even joking.”
While his friends were laughing and reviving him, TimTheTatman shouted instructions in the chat on how to take down the sniper when he was killed a second time.
The Twitch streamer wanted to get serious now: It was his only mission to take out this sniper. His friends laughed even louder. A teammate noted: The sniper seemed to be only targeting TimTheTatman and ignored the other players.
The streamer thengot into a truck thinking he was safe: Seconds later he was caught by the sniper for the third time, who no longer allowed for a revival and killed him for good.
Stream sniper has been hunting him for 3 days
This was the realization: At that moment, TimTheTatman realized that the sniper was “the same guy” who had been hunting him for 3 days: A stream sniper who had it out for him.
He said he had already blocked the player named Wolf, but he keeps creating new accounts. Tim said: “I fucking hate you.”
It’s a half-serious mood he falls into: While his friends are just laughing and having a blast, TimTheTatman puts on a little show, banging on the table and shouting.
The scene starts around 15:27 minutes:

This is how it ended: TimTheTatman was just complaining about the cheater again when he apparently let himself be killed by the streamer’s teammates on purpose, thus giving the team – without him – the victory.
The streamer tries to put a brave face on the bad situation but already seems annoyed as his friends are amused.
This is how it’s discussed: In the comments on YouTube, some point out to TimTheTatman that his “personal record game” only looked so good because some “friendly stream” snipers threw themselves in front of his gun and allowed themselves to be shot by him, thus donating him kills.
It seems that such a popular streamer as TimTheTatman simply does not play “Call of Duty: Warzone” as a normal person does.
In any case, TimTheTatman seems to embrace his role and play it wonderfully:
His fans apparently love to see him suffer a bit because they can identify with TimTheTatman this way.
There are several examples of such a pattern in pop culture: Herbert Feuerstein had to serve as a punching bag for Harald Schmidt in the show “Schmidteinander”.
In any case, TimTheTatman seems to embrace his role and play it wonderfully:

Gaming Laptop: What you should consider when buying
Here are some tips you should consider when buying a gaming laptop in 2021:
Graphics Card:
Gaming laptops with a GTX 1650 are on the lower performance level. If you are a casual gamer and do not care about beautiful graphics, you can take a look at these devices. For people who play Fortnite and games without high graphics requirements, the performance is completely sufficient.
With the GTX 1660 Ti and faster, you can play almost all modern titles on high settings. With these models, you will already benefit from higher FPS numbers – if your screen allows it.
The mobile variants of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060, RTX 2070, and RTX 2080 offer enough power for maximum details and high frame rates. The new RTX 3000 mobile graphics chips are also at a similar performance level. However, prices are often above 1000 Euros.
RAM:
If you want to game with the laptop, at least 16 GB of RAM should be installed. If you want to be future-proof, you should even plan for 32 GB.
8 GB is more likely found in budget laptops. With laptops that only have 8 GB of RAM, you should ensure that you can replace or upgrade the RAM.
Interfaces:
HDMI, USB, LAN, and headphone ports should be present in every gaming notebook. A card reader can also be useful, but can also be retrofitted as an adapter.
Thunderbolt ports are particularly interesting. Here, especially large amounts of data can be transferred in a short time. External graphics cards (so-called eGPUs) can be connected via this.
Display Size:
Most gaming laptops are available in 15-inch and 17-inch sizes. Exceptions upwards and downwards, such as the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (14 inches), are also available.
15-inch models are usually a bit cheaper than 17-inch models and take up less space on the desk. 17-inch models can display more details due to their larger screen. If you want to be very mobile, the smaller variant is recommended.
Laptop or Gaming PC: Prices for good laptops start at 700 Euros and can easily exceed the 1000 Euro mark with adequate performance. Basically, you should consider what you need the device for.
If your future notebook is primarily going to be on the desk anyway, you should look for a desktop PC instead.
ASUS TUF Gaming Dash F15 (RTX 3060)
This is what the device offers: The gaming notebook from ASUS offers you sufficient power for most games with Intel’s i7-11370H, 16 GB of RAM, and a mobile RTX 3060.

GP76 Leopard 10UE-022 (RTX 3060)
This is what the device offers: The gaming notebook from MSI offers you an Intel i7-10870H, an RTX 3060, and 16 GB of RAM.
With a 17.3-inch display and 144Hz you get both a large and fast display. However, with 2.9 kg, the device is not exactly light and is therefore only partly intended for mobile use.
The English magazine Techradar tested the model with the RTX 3070 (via Techradar.com). The device delivers good performance, decent build quality, and an impressive display. The high weight and the noise and heat of the device are disadvantages.
For whom is the device suitable? The notebook offers you plenty of power for gaming. If you are looking for a simple gaming laptop with a great screen and decent build quality, you should take a look at the notebook from MSI. However, if you are looking for a device for mobile use away from the desk, you may not be happy.

This is what the device offers: With the ASUS ROG TUF F15, you get a notebook with an Intel i7-11370H, 16 GB of RAM, and an RTX 3070.
With its 144Hz screen, ASUS aims to attract gamers of fast games.
Notebookcheck took a closer look at the device in a review (via Tomshardware.com). The gaming laptop offers you a good battery life and a fast screen, and the noise under load is also exemplary. However, the installed RTX 3070 does not reach its potential and resembles the performance of last-generation laptops with RTX 2000.
For whom is the device suitable? If you are looking for a well-built laptop with a good display and a weight of about 2 kg, then you should take a look at the TUF F15.
Where can you buy the device: You can currently get the notebook on Amazon for 1449.00 Euros (1549.00 €), so you save 100 Euros (6 %).

More Gaming Notebooks with RTX 3000: At the large electronics fair CES 2021, gaming laptops with RTX 3000 were presented. MeinMMO presents them to you in detail in this article. Among them, there are also several new notebooks from Razer, MSI, and HP.

Not every interested gamer still has a PlayStation 5 at home. The demand is far higher than the supply. However, due to a crisis in the supply of components, the situation for the PS5 remains tense according to experts.
Why is the PS5 still scarce? From the launch of the PS5 in November 2020, there was a lot of frustration among fans, as the demand for the console was far greater than the supply that Sony could produce. The result was absurd prices on eBay and such, which unfortunately have not improved.
However, those who hoped for improvement may be disappointed. In a confidential yet leaked conversation, Sony’s CFO Hiroki Totoki stated to analysts that the situation still looks bleak. The reason is likely the urgently needed semiconductors, which are currently scarce worldwide and thus slow down production:
I don’t believe that the demand will calm down this year, and even if we secure much more [semiconductors] and produce many more units of the PlayStation 5 next year, our supply will not catch up with the demand.
Hiroki Totoki, CFO of Sony
PS5 production continues to stall, but Sony is doing its best
Is there no hope at all? At least in an interview with the Japanese magazine Nikkei, Sony head Jim Ryan explained back in April that they are at least trying to secure additional semiconductors from suppliers, so that production can be increased a little bit.
However, Sony still expects high demand: Totoki explained to analysts that they still believe in a sustained high demand for the PS5:
We have sold over 100 million units of the PlayStation 4, and considering our market share and our good reputation, I can’t imagine that the demand will simply decrease.
The extreme demand for the PlayStation 5 is illustrated by absurd scenes from 2020, when desperate customers used all means to get a console: Despite chaotic conditions during pre-orders. A particularly absurd example of persistence was a father who stoically hit F5 for 13 hours to finally secure a console for his son.

Leaks about Genshin Impact have almost become a daily occurrence. The latest leaked info may reveal that update 1.6 is likely to bring skins for some characters. MeinMMO shows you which skins are expected to come and what other info is known.
What is this leak about? The information comes from the Twitter account Project Celestia, which has previously published numerous accurate leaks. (via Twitter)
Currently, there are only skins for the characters’ gliders. This is likely to change with the upcoming major update.
Recently, Project Celestia shared an image of a skin for Jean, the Grandmaster of the Knights. The outfit is called “Sea Breeze Dandelion” and shows Jean in a summer bathing outfit. Normally, she wears a knight’s dress with a cloak.
Her sister Barbara is also getting a new summer outfit. (via Twitter)
Project Celestia, however, points out in the Twitter post that things may still change before the release of patch 1.6. There is still a possibility that the skins will not be part of the update.
Why is this so interesting? The characters are the most important feature in Genshin Impact for many players. There are numerous of them, each with their own traits, backstory, and unique style.
Apart from battles, players also spend a lot of time with their characters in other ways. Since update 1.4, it has been possible, for example, to go on dates with some of them.
It is still unclear how the skins will be unlocked
How to get the skins? At least for Barbara’s skin, it is known a bit more about how it will likely be unlocked. It is mentioned that there will be a quest that must be completed. This quest will likely be released with the update.
For Jean, it is still unknown how to get the skin. Under the Twitter post, players are concerned that the remaining skins can only be purchased with real money. Khaleed writes: “Don’t tell me I have to buy all these outfits or something similar… and that I can’t win them.” (via Twitter)
So it remains to be seen in what way these skins can be unlocked. Since Genshin Impact has a gacha system, it is likely that the skins will hardly be available without real money and will probably be available for a limited time.
There are currently numerous leaks and rumors related to update 1.6. It is rumored that the next big update will provide the Traveler with a new element.
When is update 1.6 expected to be released? The current release time is considered likely to be around the end of May or early June. Developer miHoYo plans to deliver updates every 6 weeks, with update 1.5 being released on April 28. This timeframe should fit.
Part of the update will likely be the new area Inazuma, which was actually expected for update 1.5. Although this patch brought a housing system and new characters, Inazuma was not included. Therefore, it is now considered likely that the new area will find its way to Genshin Impact with the upcoming update.
In Fortnite: Battle Royale, bananas are permanently favored by the community. But what is the reason? Discover all sorts of curious information about bananas and the associated “Schali skins” here.
What’s the deal with bananas? Looking at the trends for Fortnite on Google, one term keeps popping up – “banana”. The yellow fruit is highly popular among fans. But why? What is it all about and how can this phenomenon be explained? The answer lies in a skin that was introduced to the game a long time ago.
Schali – It all started with a silly banana skin
When was the first banana introduced to the game? In Chapter 1 Season 8 of Fortnite, the theme was tropics and pirates. Since the setting was tropical, there was a humanoid banana as a skin in that Battle Pass. It looked quite content and friendly and appeared in various title images where it befriended the character Jonesy.
What happened next with the banana skins? Since the banana was already well-received by fans at that time, the idea was soon revisited. In the following 9th season, the trailer showed Jonesy and the banana “Schali” retreating into a bunker at the last moment.
They were still friends back then.
There, the two had a lot of fun until it became apparent that there were no supplies in the bunker. And as it had to happen: Jonesy hunts the poor Schali through the blender and treats himself to a banana smoothie. This theme was revisited multiple times, for example in a trailer for the merging worlds in Season 10, where a grim Schali encounters Jonesy in a kind of room between worlds and looks at him reproachfully.
Later, Schali appears repeatedly in skins, artwork, and videos – most recently in the trailer for Season 6 of Chapter 2, where the poor banana again meets Jonesy and then is brutally killed. It seems to be a tradition at Fortnite to torture the poor banana in various ways.
If you’re interested in Fortnite, you might also find this appealing:
What banana skins of Schali/Peely are there? Despite his tendency to meet cruel fates, Schali is a constant new skin in Fortnite. Here we present the coolest skins of Schali (in English, Peely):
Agent Schali: This skin of Schali depicts him as a grim agent in a black suit. This skin came with Chapter 2 Season 2 via the Battle Pass.
Schalius Maximus: This wacky skin shows Schali as a Roman general. The set with this skin was available on March 19, 2021.
Kolbi: This skin is a variant of Schali as a corn cob. It came to the shop on November 25, 2020.
Bone Schali: For the Halloween season of 2019, this gruesome skin was introduced. It depicts Schali as an undead being, half-skeletonized and dead.
S-1000: This skin depicts Schali as a living smoothie, which in turn shows him in a kind of robot body, the S-1000. This skin came to the shop on September 26, 2019.
Ohneschali: This crazy skin shows Schali without skin. So a naked banana, with its pale flesh exposed. It also wears swim trunks. This skin was part of the Summer Legends set from Season 3 of Chapter 2.
All Schalis at a glance.
How and where can you get the banana skins? Like all skins, those of Schali are not permanently available in the game. However, new Schali variants regularly appear in the shop or in Battle Passes. There is also a set in the shop called “Banana Gang” which will certainly appear from time to time. This set previously included the classic Schali, the Halloween Schali, and a banana pickaxe as well as fall animations.
And it’s also quite possible that a new Schali skin could appear in one of the upcoming seasons of Fortnite, as the banana remains a popular mascot in the game. If you think Schali is cool, but haven’t played Fortnite in a long time or have never tried it at all, we have an interesting article for you: Find out here if it’s worth jumping into colorful Battle Royale Fortnite in 2021.

Destiny 2 brings back the beloved Uneinigkeit in Season 14. However, Bungie might disappoint many Guardians with the cult weapon, as it is a scout rifle, and this weapon category is currently performing quite poorly.
What Guardians are looking forward to: On May 11, a new season of the Splicer begins in Destiny 2. The now 14th season brings fresh activities, a “new/old” raid, and of course many weapons. Especially one returning weapon is now causing numerous joyful leaps: the Uneinigkeit (eng. Hung Jury SR4).
The legendary scout rifle was rooted in players’ inventories. So far, we only know of one image of the Uneinigkeit 2.0.
But the image was enough to make such statements: “This weapon makes Destiny players cry tears of joy” (via YouTube)
Some magazines headline: “One of the best weapons in Destiny is coming to Destiny 2” (via GameRant) or quite directly: “The season of the Splicer brings back the Uneinigkeit to Destiny 2” (via PCGamesN) to then burst into hymns of praise in the introduction.
Guardians fondly and rightly remember the iconic weapon. However, the return of Uneinigkeit is not looked upon favorably. We take a look at what made the weapon so beloved and why Bungie could be heading towards a major disappointment here.
Uneinigkeit comes along with Plug.One 1 (fusion rifle) and Uzume RR4 (sniper rifle) as a reward in the Dämmerung-Feuerprobe
That’s why everyone remembers: The popularity of Uneinigkeit is partly due to its stylish appearance. The typical “Dead Orbit” look with its white and black designs was a fashion constant in Destiny. Even today, Guardians wish for such shaders in Destiny 2, and some players believe that Dead Orbit was the most popular faction solely because of its aesthetics.
Triple Tap: after 3 precision hits, a round returns to the magazine
Firefly: Precision kills cause enemies to explode in a large area
Hand-Laid Stock: This perk pushes stability to the limit, making accurate follow-up shots very easy
Many Guardians had the God-Roll, as it was kindly sold by Dead Orbit.
Precise as a laser beam, one could fire the scout rifle from a safe distance or even up close, reloading partially passively. But for precision, one was additionally rewarded: enemies exploded after a few hits, either weakening everything in the vicinity so much that one shot triggered the next explosion or the surrounding enemies were defeated immediately.
Is Season 14 heading towards a nostalgic disappointment?
The warm, nostalgic memories of Uneinigkeit and how it cleared out even in the Oryx raid are likely to be subjected to a harsh reality check in Destiny 2 soon. Because don’t forget: Uneinigkeit is a scout rifle.
How are the scouts doing? Scout rifles are not doing well in Destiny 2 – and have not been for a while. One might think that Uneinigkeit could save the entire category, but the more likely scenario is the opposite. Because Uneinigkeit is a scout, the weapon will be underwhelming upon its return.
Scouts lack damage. If I have to unload half a magazine into a regular add, it does not feel efficient – and more importantly – not fun. Also, the thing about safe distance is a bit outdated right now. As a Guardian, one wants to be right in the action most of the time in Destiny 2, unleashing cool abilities. And thanks to builds and mods, one can survive at the front line for a long time if the damage output is right.
Since Destiny 2 made sniper rifles relevant again for Forsaken in 2018, scout rifles (unfortunately) are hardly needed anymore. You can carry scout rifles and use them, but they are almost never truly necessary, and other weapons generally perform better.
Explosions are no longer what they used to be in Destiny 2
The explosive perk “Firefly” of Uneinigkeit was a real favorite in Destiny 1. However, Destiny 2 opts for the explosive replacement perk “Libelle” instead. Neither the range nor the damage is as high as it used to be.
In a past season, there was also a legendary top scout that fully relied on explosions and even received the unique perk “Meganeura”, which was meant to evoke memories of the old Firefly days. But very few remember that weapon – oh yes, I’m talking about the nearly forgotten top weapon Oxygen SG3.
Even newer exotic scouts like Tale of a Dead Man have a hard time placing themselves in the PvE meta. The exotic shines more with its cool cowboy look and design rather intended for close combat. On top of that, it deals a lot of damage because of its extra-slow fire rate, which is further enhanced by its exotic perks.
The highlight of the scout “Tale of a Dead Man” is likely the creepy exo-quest for many
One of the few areas of use: An exception where safe distance is important is the higher levels of the fire trial – for instance, where enemies can really take you down in mere seconds if you stand in the open field. Here, scouts provide good service when the seasonal artifact “declares” that scouts are strong.
Because the Destiny developers enforce that season after season, certain weapons have to be used if players want to play effectively. The important mods to defeat, for example, champions are only available for selected weapon types. Nothing is known so far about general buffs that affect scouts.
The renaissance of cult weapons is coming
This weapon is also coming: Guardians also associate “Firefly” and explosive weapons with an even more well-known weapon than Uneinigkeit: the Fatebringer. And that the most famous revolver from Destiny is also returning in Season 14 has already been confirmed.
Bungie is heavily relying on nostalgia for Season 14. The very first raid, the Glass Chamber, is returning and is supposed to revive the old feeling of adventure – of course including the cherished raid loot that players were obsessed with chasing in 2014.
So far, Bungie has done well with the returning exotics from Destiny 1. For example, Thorn, The Last Word, and Hawkmoon are all somewhat different from before but have retained the old spirit in their new forms and are useful.
Only a few Legendary weapons are more popular than Uneinigkeit – like the Fatebringer
What do you think? Are the Guardians celebrating too soon about the return of Uneinigkeit, and will the cult weapon fail because it is a scout? Or does Bungie know what nostalgic feelings are at stake and will bring back the favorite in such a way that it does not have to hide from the original from part 1? Let us know in the comments.
However, the new/old weapons will be adapted to the conditions of Destiny 2, as Bungie has repeatedly stated. Uneinigkeit could also benefit from this.
That’s why there’s hope: Season 14 revises old perks and also introduces new weapon characteristics. So we could hope for Firefly, as it exists from the Exotic Picasso, or a stronger version of Libelle (Meganeura 2.0?) could be introduced for the raid revolver and Uneinigkeit.
After all, the returning weapons are equipment that players must work hard to earn. So they could indeed have something strong planned. Or Bungie has the proverbial Plan C up its sleeve.
