The start of Season 6 brought some changes regarding the weapons in Fortnite, but which mythic weapons are now actually available and where can you find them? MeinMMO shows you where to find the mythic weapons and items in Season 6.
What are mythic weapons? Mythic weapons are guns that each have a special function and are stronger than normal weapons in the game. You get the special items only after finding a specific boss and defeating them – that’s why it can be hard to obtain these.
The available mythic items seem to change after each update. We will update the guide for you as soon as a new weapon becomes available.
Important: The guide shows you all available mythic weapons and items after the Update 16.30.
Find all mythic weapons in Season 6
Currently, there is one mythic weapon and one mythic item that you can find on the Season 6 map. We will introduce both to you, show you where to find them and how to get them.
Mythic Weapon: Raz’s Explosive Bow
What kind of weapon is this? With the mythic bow, you can shoot arrows that are explosive and set the environment on fire. With a hit, you can deal 98 damage directly to your opponents. The fire also causes additional damage as long as players are within it. With this weapon, you will definitely draw your enemies out of cover.
Where can you find the bow? As the name suggests, you can find the mythic weapon with the mini-boss “Raz”. The character guards “The Spire”, a huge tower located in the center of the map. So if you land right at the tower, you will quickly find Raz.
Raz is not just a mini-boss on the map; you can also find him as a skin in the Season 6 Battle Pass.

The character is not exactly easy to defeat, as he has a lot of health points and can teleport. It’s best to equip yourself with weapons and enough ammunition before engaging in combat. After that, you should always take cover during the fight, as Raz will attack you with his strong abilities.
Mythic Item: Spire Jump Boots
What kind of item is this? The mythic jump boots give you the ability to jump higher, open the glider again during the jump, and then fly. To perform this stunt, you need to equip the boots and jump 3 times in a row – after that you’ll be launched higher than normal and can open the glider to fly. This mythic item is especially suitable for movement in the game.
Where can you find the boots? To get the jump boots, you first need to go to one of the small Spire towers on the map. These towers are guarded by sentinels, and you must eliminate one of them.

After eliminating the tower’s sentinel, it will drop a black orb. You need to pick up the orb by interacting with it. You will carry the item above your head and won’t be able to use any weapons while doing so – so you should be careful, as this leaves you vulnerable to enemies.
The black orb will shine a light showing you the way while you hold it. Follow the light to “The Spire”. At this location, there are spots where you can place the orb. After performing this action, the jump boots will be dispensed after a short sequence.

If you want particularly strong weapons in a round, you should seek out these mythic items. However, keep in mind that they are not easy to obtain, and it may take several attempts before you finally have the weapon in your inventory.
Destiny 2 has introduced the new Season of the Splicer in a cool trailer. The video hides a secret code that rewards you with a fancy emblem. We reveal the secret and how to redeem the code.
This is the secret cosmetic: In Destiny 2, the new Season 14 starts on May 11. To get Guardians excited for the fresh content, Bungie has released a flashy trailer with lots of neon colors and synthesizer music.
You can already get the secret badge “Blooming Sequence” before the new season, which shines in neon blue and purple. Finding the code wasn’t easy at all, as it was well hidden in the new promotional materials.
MeinMMO reveals the code, where to redeem it, and which puzzle the Guardians cracked in record time.
Blooming Sequence (eng. Sequence Flourish) is the secret emblem
Here is the hidden code: Some well-known content creators like Byf, GrenaderJake, or Fallout have received a special version of Bungie’s trailer, which they published on social media. Strange symbols and sequences are hidden in the cryptic images.
Quick-witted Guardians didn’t take long to decipher the mystery (Raid-Secrets via reddit).
If you put the combinations together correctly, you get a 9-digit number sequence:
7D4-PKR-MD7
With this code, you can get the secret badge.
Easily redeem the secret code now
This is how you get the emblem: You do not redeem the number combination in Destiny 2 itself, but on Bungie’s website.
Go to the “Redeem Page” at the top right. First, log in with your profile and select your preferred platform. Then select “Redeem code” and enter “7D4-PKR-MD7” into the empty field below.
These two links will take you directly to the corresponding page – just copy the code and paste it there:
Have you secured the secret badge yet and are you proudly walking around in the neon colors? What do you think of such riddles that are meant to keep Guardians on their toes but are usually solved very quickly by the community? Let us know in the comments.

Hearthstone gives players what they have been asking for a while: You can now buy entire decks directly in the shop, for real money.
For a few days now, a new patch has gone live in Hearthstone and players can now take advantage of a new offer. Blizzard is now allowing players something that has been requested for years: the direct purchase of decks, with which they can start immediately.
What kind of decks are these? Anyone who has been a bit active in the ranked Standard mode in the last few weeks will probably be familiar with all the sold decks. These are exclusively the currently most popular meta decks of all classes. Therefore, Blizzard can also promote that the decks were created through the “evaluation of hundreds of thousands of game sessions” – after all, players have used these decks very often in recent weeks.
In short, these are:
Demon Hunter: A deck based on zeal and death rattles that quickly takes down the enemy.
Druid: A deck that quickly increases your mana reserve and then floods the board with massively reinforced minions.
Hunter: A clear rush deck that quickly defeats the enemy with spells and the notorious trampling rhinoceros.
Mage: A spell damage deck that overwhelms the enemy with discounted spells.
Paladin: A secret-based deck that reinforces minions.
Priest: A spell deck that continually generates more spells and can endlessly reinforce minions.
Rogue: A combo-heavy deck that also makes use of secrets.
Shaman: A deck that boosts the hero’s attack damage and delivers the final blow with strong spells.
Warlock: A deck that destroys the opponent’s cards, leading to their exhaustion.
Warrior: A zeal-based deck that also massively reinforces minions in hand.
For €20, you get a deck that thousands of players have already tested – these are the current meta decks.
€20 for really strong decks in Hearthstone
Is it worth buying the decks? That probably depends entirely on the individual player. Those who have only bought a few card packs so far may find that a solid deck for €20 is a good deal. However, those who already own many cards from the decks can simply recreate the corresponding decks themselves and craft the missing cards for Arcane Dust by disenchanting old cards.
Since each deck contains between 2 and 4 legendary cards, as well as between 2 and 10 epic cards, the raw value of a deck is quite reasonable.
However, every player should first inform themselves about the playstyle of the deck and perhaps watch streamers handle the deck. Because investing €20 in a deck whose playstyle ultimately isn’t fun would be a bad deal.
Note that each account can only purchase a single deck per expansion.
Who is this offer aimed at? The purchase of one of these decks is likely to be particularly worthwhile for those who do not like to “waste” time on deck building. Those who are willing to spend a little money in order to simply start right away with a reasonably strong deck will find this offer appealing. However, those who prefer to build their own decks and enjoy actively collecting cards that they earn piece by piece will probably not be interested.
What do you think about Blizzard now selling complete decks? Is it a good idea that encourages you to buy? Or would you never accept such an offer?

The monthly active users, the player numbers at Blizzard have sharply declined in recent months. Compared to the figure three years ago, Blizzard’s games (WoW, Overwatch, Diablo 3, Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm) had a total of 11 million fewer users in Q1 2021.
What are these numbers? Blizzard does not disclose exact player numbers for individual games, only the number “MAU”: This stands for “monthly active users”. Anyone who logs into a Blizzard game at least once a month, no matter how briefly, counts as a “MAU”.
Blizzard publishes the MAU figures quarterly in its financial report, which represents the total number of users for the respective 3 months divided by 3. Yesterday was time again: Activision Blizzard’s chat with investors.
11 million players lost in 3 years
This is how the numbers have developed: The website Massivelyop has compiled the quarterly numbers from the last 3 years and noted what notable events occurred during the quarter at Blizzard (via massivelyop):
38M in Q1 2018
37M in Q2 2018
37M in Q3 2018 (Release of the WoW expansion Battle for Azeroth)
29M in Q4 2020 (COVID-19, Release of WoW Shadowlands)
27M in Q1 2021 (this quarter)
It can be seen that the number of users has been steadily declining or stagnating since 2018, only WoW Classic was able to temporarily halt the trend. Apparently, the outbreak of Covid-19 and the consequences of the lockdown also buffered the ongoing decline in players: People spent more time at home.
But the new WoW expansion Shadowlands was not enough to make up for the loss.
“Have they ever tried to release good games?”
This is how it is being discussed: On reddit, the player decline at Blizzard is a big topic (via reddit). Some are commenting: “Have they tried to release a good game?”
Because indeed, nothing new has been released at Blizzard in recent years, except for a bad remake of Warcraft 3: Reforged and WoW Classic. All other projects have been canceled (StarCraft action game, the MMORPG Titan) or are still in development like Overwatch 2, Diablo Immortal and Diablo 4.
Another user counters the thesis that the player decline is solely due to the lack of new games from Blizzard. Also LoL, Minecraft and CS:GO are already old, but still have immense player bases. However, the quality at Blizzard has significantly decreased, even for existing games:
Warcraft 3 was a “slap in the face of the fans”
In WoW, players are constantly frustrated by the random systems, poor balance, and time-gates
Heroes of the Storm has practically failed
Overwatch 2 is stuck in development hell, especially now that Jeff Kaplan is gone
The user stated that he only has hope for Diablo 4.
The relevance of Overwatch and Hearthstone is dwindling – Diablo 3 is starving
This is what it’s about: Blizzard is indeed running out of steam in recent years, at least in every game that is not WoW. Because WoW Classic was an enormous success for the company, although fans had to demand it. By itself Blizzard didn’t really want to develop an “old version” of WoW.
The great fortune for Blizzard before 2018 was the hero shooter Overwatch: From 2016 to 2018, it was a constant runner, gaining momentum through events, new heroes, and an active fandom. But Fortnite has siphoned off the player base. When Blizzard should have been providing new content, they apparently were developing Overwatch 2 or struggling with e-sports.
The “small” card game Hearthstone, initially started as a side project, was for Blizzard a further stroke of luck for a long time. However, Hearthstone has enormously lost relevance: Hearthstone was still number 6 on Twitch in 2018 based on average viewer numbers with 40,827. At the moment it stands at 19th place with 28,286 viewers.
An attempt to revive Heroes of the Storm failed, and the “Don’t call it a MOBA” MOBA is now even more irrelevant than before.
Diablo 3 is very popular, and there is a huge demand for “games like Diablo“, but Blizzard has been almost ignoring it for years.
The problems Blizzard faces in releasing new games might also be linked to the fact that some of the leading figures and icons from Blizzard have left over the years. They allegedly faced issues with the new culture under Activision, according to insider reports.
In any case, Blizzard lacks new games: Much hope indeed rests on Diablo 4.
Although it must be said that Activision Blizzard is doing financially great. Compared to the previous year, they increased their total revenue in Q1 by 500 million US dollars. The cash cows are Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, and Candy Crush.
Do you want to venture into the Dragonstar Arena of the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO)? We have a few tips for you.
What is the Dragonstar Arena? This challenge for 4 players places you in an instance where you must demonstrate your fighting and spellcasting skills in several challenges. The Dragonstar Arena is available to you in both Normal and Hard mode.
You can find the arena in upper Craglorn near the village of Dragonstar. Travel north from there and you will come directly to the arena.
It is also possible to complete the Dragonstar Arena solo, but you need a good solo build for that.
General tips for the Dragonstar Arena
Requirements to enter the arena
Only those who have at least Veteran Rank 1 could take on this challenge. Other players had no access. Since patch 2.5.8, “non-veterans” can also enter the arena, provided the group meets the level requirements.
Accessing the Hard Mode
If the group wants to enter the Dragonstar Arena in Hard mode, the players must set the dungeon mode in the group interface to “Veteran”.
Required group composition
To master the challenges, a good tank, damage dealers with interrupt spells, and a healer with plenty of healing options and potions are needed. The tank mainly handles the spawns that cause you headaches alongside the bosses. The damage dealers focus on the bosses, and the healers support but also distract the boss enemies.
This is what the area Craglorn looks like, where the Dragonstar Arena is located:

We provide you with a few tips that should particularly help you in the regular mode of the challenge. The videos from YouTuber NorthMan at each stage showcase the Hard mode and you may derive more tips from them.
Stage 1
In this round, you will face the Fighters Guild. First, take care of the many healers. Then focus on the gladiators. You can effectively fight them by luring them out of their healing circle. Also watch for the traps on the ground.
You will defeat the boss Marcauld by luring him out of his healing circle just like the gladiators. Also, make sure to always position yourself behind him, as he performs a very strong attack. When Marcauld reaches 70% and 40% of his health, he will call for help, which will create another healing circle. Be sure that no one is standing in it.

It is important here to keep the fires burning, as otherwise you will take additional frost damage along with the damage the opponents deal. First, take care of the archers and sorcerers.
You should attack both bosses separately. To do this, you need to lure one away from the other. Then focus on one of the bosses. And remember to reignite outgoing flames! Avoid the ice spells as they deal a lot of damage.

Here you will deal with toxic gases that randomly appear in the arena. Try to avoid them.
In the boss fight, make sure to first take care of the sorcerer and then the melee fighter. Watch for reinforcements that appear once half health is removed from each boss. You should use your ultimates against the bosses’ minions.

Keep a close eye on the slavers, as they can chain you, inflicting significant damage. Try not to get too close to the spirits and quickly take care of the sorcerers.
You will need patience to defeat the boss, as he is a tank with a lot of hit points. Avoid the Eruption attack, which is an AoE attack. Focus less on the reinforcements and try to concentrate on the boss.

It is absolutely necessary to deal with all the spellcasters first. It is essential to remember where they spawn, to eliminate them immediately as they appear. You should also not ignore the archers for too long.
The best way to take down the boss Anal’a Tu’wha is to use your ultimates right at the start of the fight. The tank must keep the gargoyle at a distance, as it can petrify you. Once Anal’a Tu’wha raises his Banner of Power, you must be cautious, as this triggers a powerful special attack. After that, use your ultimates again.

In this fight, it is important to know that every defeated enemy performs one last AoE attack when they die. So, disappear from an enemy as soon as you defeat them. Additionally, the tank should distract the enemies, as there are opponents like werewolves who can quickly kill others with their attacks.
You can defeat the boss by dodging his attacks and using AoE ultimates. This way, you also take down the reinforcements and can focus directly on the boss. The tank can interrupt the opponent’s special attacks. Also, avoid the green AoE fields.

You must absolutely prevent the victims from approaching the altars. If you do not eliminate them beforehand, they will transform into dangerous enemies that deal a lot of damage. It can even lead to the appearance of titans that you cannot defeat – unless group members die. Then the titans are eliminated as well.
To defeat the two bosses, first focus on the mage. It is important to interrupt the opponent’s healing spell. New victims will also come into play, which you need to take care of. Once they appear, you should take them out first and then turn your attention back to the bosses.

To defeat the centurions, you must interrupt the attack of the frost enemies. This way, the fire centurions cannot execute their AoE attack. If both can perform their attacks, ensure they overlap, as they will eliminate each other. Additionally, take care of the mages as quickly as possible.
Mavus Talnarith is the boss in this round and is not easy to defeat. The strategy here is to block and dodge his attacks as much as possible. Otherwise, just try to deal as much damage as you can without getting hit. If Mavus has only 80% health left, a mage will appear that you should immediately jump on.

Avoid the holes in the ground, as they will pull you down from which you must fight your way back up. It is necessary to reach a portal. During the time you are in this other area, you will obviously be of no help to your group. Also, make sure to eliminate the spirits first as they execute a dangerous attack. Additionally, you will face a miniboss who takes no damage once he has created a shield. A player must be allowed to go down to defeat a spirit to destroy this shield.
The boss Vampire Lord Thisa does not appear alone. First, defeat his companion. Avoid the swarm of bats that the boss summons and try to deal as much damage as possible. You will defeat the miniboss he summons just like the first one.

Here you only need to deal with one boss, Hiath. Well, almost, as he also summons help. However, there is no fight preceding the boss, as is the case with the other stages. The tank should best lure the helpers away while the damage dealers focus on Hiath and the healers support the damage dealers. The healers should also redirect Hiath to themselves, so the tank does not have to deal with him as well. Avoid the AoE attacks and concentrate on dealing as much damage to Hiath as you can.

One of the core features of WoW: Shadowlands is being revamped. But the new Torghast doesn’t please Cortyn at all – because it’s not fun.
In recent weeks, we have talked a lot at World of Warcraft about what is not going well. The long wait for Patch 9.1 Chains of Domination is just one of the problems, but there are other concerns as well. One of them is Torghast, the Tower of the Damned. Actually, this is a feature that I like very much in its basic idea. But since the end of the Shadowlands beta, Torghast has changed.
In Patch 9.1, Blizzard is once again taking a different direction – and one that I like even less.
What is changing in Torghast? Even though the changes are trickling in gradually on the PTR, it is already clear where the journey for Torghast is supposed to go:
Torghast will get a scoring system: Depending on how quickly, how completely, and how efficiently a floor has been cleared, points will be awarded.
High scores will unlock new floors that go beyond level 8.
There will be a new currency to unlock Torghast talents, the “Box of Many Things”.
Torghast will have weekly changing torment effects that basically work like affixes in Mythic+. The higher the level, the more torment effects are active.
I am generally open to innovations in WoW and recognize positive approaches. The “Box of Many Things” sounds sensible and increasingly fulfills the desire for rogue-like features in the form of permanent upgrades across all Torghast runs.
Torghast causes a lot of frustration – yet it has some aspects that it does really well.
However, this only applies to half of the abilities in this small talent tree. The rest enhances effects that come with gaining points. For example, you can increase the points for defeating elite opponents or extend the duration of how long you remain “Empowered” to earn more points.
The question is: Do all these changes make Torghast more entertaining? For me, the answer is quite clear: No, they rather reduce the fun.
I already have enough areas in World of Warcraft where speed and pure performance matter. Mythic Keystone dungeons, heroic raiding, or PvP.
Torghast has always been my playground, where I could unwind and just have some crazy fun.
There will soon be more than the 8 levels. But you will have to unlock them first.
What Torghast really needs: Sure. Ask 100 WoW players what a feature urgently needs and you will get 100 different answers, where each one thinks only their opinion is correct.
Nevertheless, I believe that Torghast needs more of what it already was in the beta and from which Blizzard has increasingly distanced itself: crazy, wacky fun without constant pressure.
I loved in the beta stacking certain anima abilities to near infinity and being able to try out crazy builds. I also liked that Torghast wasn’t so serious and you could just go AFK at the entrance of a new floor for 15 minutes if you needed a break.
When the live version of Torghast launched without the opportunity to level twinks in Torghast or to gather a variety of rewards, I was disappointed. Although I generally enjoy Torghast, it falls far short of its potential. I seriously doubt that the upcoming patch is a step in the right direction.
More complaints Wednesday from Cortyn can be found here:
Sure, the whole thing is still in the testing phase on the PTR. But the multitude of new systems and the advanced time make it clear that particularly large changes are probably no longer to be expected. The systems will come in this form or in a slightly modified form, because Patch 9.1 has to be released sometime before Blizzard’s content shortage drives all players away.
But please, Blizzard. Don’t make Torghast more complicated than it needs to be. Take care to ensure that there are new, cosmetic rewards and bring interesting, new anima powers for all classes.
Torghast should be a fun, optional playground. Not another performance-based chase for the best rating. Because World of Warcraft already has enough of that in its current form.

The currently largest streamer on Twitch, Félix “xQc” Lengyel, struggles with his life as an anger-driven criminal on the roleplay server for GTA 5. Allegedly trapped in the role, he beat up a police officer in the game, played by his girlfriend in real life. This got him into trouble. He was called out in front of 160,000 Twitch viewers when the dispute shifted from the game to real life.
This is the situation:
The Canadian xQc is currently by far the most-watched streamer in the world. On the roleplay server “No Pixel 3.0” for GTA 5, he plays “X”, a rogue with impulse control issues. When xQc is not banned from No Pixel and is allowed to stream there, an average of over 100,000 people watch him explore the world of GTA 5 for between 10 and 16 hours.
The Twitch streamer “Adept” (27) lives with xQc. For a long time, it was unclear what their relationship was, but at some point, xQc cuddled her on stream, and since then it has been publicly known that they are a couple. Adept also plays on No Pixel, but as a police officer.
This is how the dispute began: The police officer Adept wanted to release the rogue X from custody. xQc was messing around with glitches – the police officer Adept seemed to want to take her time and deliberately delayed the release of xQc, saying she needed to look for her handcuffs and complete important paperwork. xQc shouted out that he was being unreasonably held up.
This is typical for xQc: He often accuses streamers playing police officers in GTA 5 of unnecessarily holding him up because they want to have him, the big Twitch celebrity, in their own stream to generate more viewers and attention. This is called “stalling”.
This is how the dispute escalated in GTA 5: At the moment when the police officer Adept releases the rogue X, he turns around, rushes at her, and punches her. Adept says: “I knew you would do that, you damn little bitch.”
Adept calls him back to order: “Stop it now, stop it now,” but X kicks her several times while the police officer is already on the ground and then runs away.

Streamer Adept sobs after the incident, ends Twitch stream
This is what happened after the action: In the game, the police officer Adept talked with a colleague: During a conversation about her “boyfriend”, the mood gradually escalated. Adept actually wanted to continue playing, but the incident with xQc seemed to be bothering her, and about 20 minutes after the incident, one could hear in her voice that she was emotionally upset and began to sob.
In real life, Adept ended the stream and marched into xQc’s room to confront him. xQc was still streaming himself, had the microphone on, and said: He was in character in that situation and was angry at that moment. He was just playing.
But Adept did not accept that. xQc shouldn’t even start with that. He couldn’t excuse his actions by saying he was just acting as a character in GTA 5. His viewers wouldn’t know what kind of nonsense he was doing when there was no stream and no viewers present.
After that, xQc said nothing more, and there was an awkward silence. There was no facecam on, so we can only speculate whether xQc gestured to Adept to let her know that everything was going out on Twitch or if he had found the mute button after all.
In any case, xQc ended the Twitch stream a few minutes later after ten hours on air.
The dispute took place live on Twitch in front of about 160,000 people.

xQc wants to stop roleplaying in GTA 5 or play a less severe character
These are the aftermaths: Adept apologized to her viewers on Twitter for ending the stream early. She said it’s not right for her character in service to cry. That would go against the role-play. But sometimes she could endure the “dogshit” and sometimes she couldn’t.
xQc tweeted last night, as usual in all caps: Everyone thinks everything he does is “out of character”, that is, as xQc: Everyone is trying to make him look bad. Meanwhile, he is trying super hard to do good role-play.
But apparently, no one likes his character “X”, so he will either create a new character or completely stop role-playing.
Role-playing has its dangers, as can be seen from xQc’s example. A problematic example of questionable role-playing can also be found in the MMORPG World of Warcraft:
Saturated 2,000 new developers seeks Activision Blizzard – and that in just 2 years. But for which games is that supposed to be?
Activision presented some exciting numbers in its quarterly financial report, especially regarding plans for the future. While in many other industries around the world, hiring considerations are approached hesitantly, Activision Blizzard aims to ramp up significantly. More than 2,000 new developers are to be hired.
What was said? The financial report mainly focused on revenue, which is in most cases better than previous projections. However, the more exciting part revolves around concrete plans for the future, which involve expanding the team.
Specifically, it states in Activision Blizzard’s presentation:
The demand for our content has never been greater, and we are increasing our investments to better satisfy our players and achieve even greater financial successes. We plan to hire more than 2,000 developers over the next 2 years (…).
It is also interesting that the size of some franchise teams is to be “tripled”. However, it is not specified which teams are involved in the tripling.
For which games are the developers? This remains a big secret; there are no concrete clues yet. However, it can already be inferred from the information of recent months where Activision Blizzard is increasing.
A new shooter from Blizzard is expected – alongside Overwatch 2.
At least we know that Activision Blizzard is currently working on several mobile titles for the Warcraft franchise and recently sought developers for a brand new action game. It is quite possible that these games are slowly transitioning from the conceptual and planning phase into actual development, requiring more staff to implement these plans. This would at least explain why there is a massive search for new developers at this time.
However, it should be noted that the 2,000 employees are not only for Blizzard but for Activision Blizzard as a whole. Therefore, brands like Call of Duty or Candy Crush may also be affected.
New hires come after layoffs: The announcement of new hires fits Activision Blizzard’s previous plan. For several years, they have aimed to expand game development while simultaneously reducing staff in other areas. In all “non-development areas,” Activision Blizzard frequently lays off employees. Just a few weeks ago, about 190 employees were laid off, two years earlier it was 800 employees.
It is important to note that the layoffs occurred mainly in areas not directly related to game development. These primarily involved employees from the eSports sector and support.
Presumably, the new hires are also meant to fill some vacant positions, as several well-known developers from Activision Blizzard have left in recent years – such as Jeff Kaplan most recently.

Bungie has revealed the roadmap, essentially the schedule for Season 14, following the bombastic trailer. It contains exact dates for when each activity will go live over the next weeks and months, but there are also some secrets and gaps in the calendar.
Schedule for the Season of the Splicer in Destiny 2
This is the official roadmap for Season 14 in English:
Let’s see when the “new” raid comes, which events are upcoming, and what activities are in store. MeinMMO explains all the entries on the roadmap. We indicate with each point whether it’s content available only to season pass owners or if you can play for free as well.
This is what the season launch on May 11 looks like:
An intro mission introduces you to the story of the Fallen Splicers, Mithrax (cover image), and the digital hacker world (Free2Play).
Ada-1 returns to the Tower, finally bringing the cosmetic transmog feature that Guardians have been wanting since 2014 (Free2Play). Why there was criticism regarding transmog before its release, you can read here.
The “Endless Night” begins. The Vex have captured the last city in a simulation where the sun no longer rises. The goal of Season 14 will be to fight the Vex in their networks and end the simulation. (Free2Play)
The H.E.L.M. center in the Tower is being expanded: Here many story-relevant dialogues will take place, and you will access the Splicer technology. (Free2Play)
Stasis Aspect quests: In Season 14, you will continue to build out the Stasis focus. You can expect new aspects and fragments. What they can do specifically is currently unknown. In the trailer, however, a Titan with an ice spear was already seen. (Beyond Light)
Override activity starts: It is a new activity that comes with an automatic player search for 6 players. This is likely akin to a new horde mode, where you hack into the digital Vex world and steal codes. (Season pass owners) – for one week, however, all Guardians can try the new activity for free.
A Vex and likely a Splicer Servitor
Live content is also available: At the start of a new season, you traditionally receive some other content:
New season pass: In the Season of the Splicer, the season pass is divided into a free and a paid track. Here Guardians find seasonal weapons, armor sets, resources, boosters, glimmer, and plenty of cosmetics. Full access costs 1,000 Silver (about €10) – some content requires full access.
In the season pass, a new weapon exotic awaits you at full access right at level 1: “Kryosthesie 77K” is a Stasis pistol. This is special, as there has only been one Stasis weapon so far, and you carry it in the power slot. Traditionally, this exotic is also available at level 35 on the Free2Play track.
Seasonal artifact: You level this item passively through playing, gaining access to powerful mods and earning an (additional) power advantage.
The new maximum power level without artifact is, by the way, 1,320 in Season 14. So you save quite a bit of grind, as the jump of +10 is significantly smaller than in the past.
There are again new triumphs and seals to chase. The gilding of titles is continued, so you can showcase your power.
Additionally, the Eververse will again be waiting for you with many cosmetics and will plunder your hard-earned silver or glimmer account.

What changes the Season of the Splicer brings for balance and sandbox, you can read here:
What’s coming to Destiny 2 in May
Trials of Osiris: The first Trials of Osiris will start on May 14. Whether this endgame PvP activity offers new weapons or armor sets is currently unknown. (Free2Play)
Override: A new Override mission on the Moon starts on May 18. (Season pass owners)
“New” raid: On May 22, the Vault of Glass will open its doors. This is the very first raid in Destiny’s history that many Guardians are looking forward to and nostalgically remember. With the raid, famous weapons like “Fatebringer” will also return. (Free2Play)
Override: A new Override mission will start in the Tangled Shore from May 25. (Season pass owners)
This is what summer 2021 looks like for Guardians
After the first weeks of a season, when you usually don’t know what to play first, the roadmap tends to become more sparse towards the end. It’s the same this time as well, and summer 2021 seems sparse – at least for now.
What’s coming in July:
Purge: On July 1, the Purge activity will start. Bungie describes this as a mission that rewards you with top loot and in which you infiltrate and attack new weak points in the Vex network from the inside. The mission receives a weekly update, but we only list it here once. (Season pass owners)
The second Iron Banner of Season 14 starts on June 8 (Free2Play).
Raid challenges: Starting June 15, the Vault of Glass will have a challenge mode. What it will look like or if better rewards will be offered is currently unknown. (Free2Play)
The third Iron Banner event will take place on June 29. (Free2Play)
This is what the gear of the Vault of Glass looked like in Destiny 1 – what awaits us now?
This event the July offers:
Solstice of Heroes: On July 8, the Solstice event starts. Traditionally, you review the past Destiny year and earn a very elaborate armor set that stands out. (Free2Play)
The raid becomes harder: The Vault of Glass will also receive a higher difficulty on July 8. We still can’t say what will change with that. (Free2Play)
What changes the Season of the Splicer brings for balance and sandbox, you can read here:
Also on August 3, the fourth Iron Banner event of the season starts.
From August 10, the “Epilogue” starts. So far, nothing is known about it. You only see an image of 4 Guardians looking at a city from a distance. Is it the Last City? Because there’s no sign of the Traveler, and the endless night seems not to be over on August 11.
Here you get an overview of all the content and which of them require owning the Season Pass:
The last entry on every roadmap is always “And more…” This gives Guardians hope every time that some highlight might still be hidden.
In the current Season 13, for example, the unannounced Harbinger mission surprised. The trip on the spooky ghost ship is considered by many to be the best mission that Destiny 2 has to offer.
Whether we will see such a high-caliber mission again can only be speculated. However, it can be safely assumed that there will definitely be an exotic weapon coming.
These exotics are confirmed: Not prominently featured in the trailer for the new season, but on Bungie’s website, we find one pair of exotic boots each for Hunters, Titans, and Warlocks:
Star-Eater Scales: Hunter boots that charge your super quickly and make it stronger.
Path of Burning Steps: Titan boots that strengthen your weapons after solar kills and provide resistance to Stasis.
Boots of the Artificer: Warlock boots that send the healing or empowering effects of the Rift to your allies at range – sounds like the Lumina revolver as shoes.
The new exotic boots for Hunters, Titans, and Warlocks from Season 14
Whether we will get the new exotic armors only through legendary “Lost Sectors” again, or if they will be random drops, is currently unclear. That no new PvP map appears on the roadmap is also a disappointment for many.
What impression does the Season of the Splicer make on you so far? Do you think the content of the roadmap will keep you busy long, or do you hope for one or the other secret? Let us know in the comments.
We at MeinMMO will actively follow Season 14 of Destiny 2 throughout its duration, providing you with guides, tips, and news.

In Valheim, players have built a secret room in their house and used it as a hideout. The principle behind it is very simple.
What kind of room is this? In a video, a Valheim player is seen walking through his team’s house and simply walking through a wall. He then walks down a staircase and arrives in a kind of bathroom with a table full of drinks and food. In this hideout, he sits in the water and enjoys his time.
How does the secret wall work? At the spot where the player walks through the wall, pieces of fences can be seen. With the Gizmo mod (via Thunderstore), these fence pieces can be rotated and then attached sideways to the ground. It looks as if there is a solid wall in that spot. However, the player can simply walk through. Chairs can also serve as entrances to hideouts in Valheim.
Player 16bitfighter explains it this way:
We used Gizmo. The mod allows you to rotate a regular fence piece sideways. Then, it is pushed halfway into the ground with guide rods and “snapped” together.
This is what the hideout looks like in the game:

What is a hideout good for? Such a secret room can be used for various purposes. For example, players could store their treasures there or hide from enemies. A treasure chamber that is not immediately recognizable as such might be appealing to some Valheim players.
Of course, OutdoorAdventurer is right. The secret is no longer a secret. You basically just have to look for walls that look like in the video above. It should be clear that there is a hidden room behind it. But first, every player needs to know the trick with the fences.
What do you think about this secret room? Do you want to build something like this in your Valheim fortress?

What kind of DLC is this? Currently, the 3rd joint season is running for CoD Black Ops Cold War and Warzone. As part of the Season 3, traditional PS Plus-exclusive content for players on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 is once again available – the “Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War – Combat Pack (Comandante)”.
This is a fresh mini-DLC that provides PS Plus members with some cosmetic extras on Sony consoles.
Contents of the Season 3 Combat Pack
What’s included in the new Combat Pack for Season 3: The bundle contains almost exclusively cosmetic items. Specifically, you can expect:
an epic skin for Operator Garcia
an epic blueprint for the assault rifle FFAR 1

The requirements: To use the operator skin (also in Warzone), you must own CoD Black Ops Cold War. You also need to play on PS4 or PS5 and be an active member of PlayStation Plus. This pack is exclusively reserved for PS Plus subscribers. For the remaining items from the new Combat Pack, it is sufficient to simply play Warzone on PlayStation. Of course, you also have access to it in Cold War.
How to get the new Combat Pack: The current Combat Pack can already be claimed – completely free of charge aside from the PS Plus subscription. To secure it, you have the following options:
You can follow this link to the PlayStation Store (keep in mind, you must be logged in):
What about other platforms? There is no way to get this free DLC on Xbox or PC. Even on PlayStation, you are out of luck without an active PS Plus membership. How long this will remain the case and whether it will change at all is currently unknown.

There is now a view on the release date of Diablo Immortal. On the night of May 5th, Activision Blizzard released the latest quarterly report. It included the revenues of the games, but also a look ahead to the year 2021.
What does Blizzard say? During the call, it was stated that Diablo Immortal is on schedule for a global release later in 2021. There is no specific date yet, but at least a hint that it is still expected this year.
This is the first time that Blizzard has provided a release window for Diablo Immortal. Even at BlizzCon 2021, they remained completely tight-lipped regarding the release.
Diablo Immortal faced a poor reception at the announcement, but it is changing
How has Immortal developed? Diablo Immortal was first announced in 2018 at BlizzCon and did not receive a favorable reaction. Fans were hoping for a Diablo 4 and were disappointed by the announcement of a mobile game. The mood soured and there was the famous outburst questioning whether the announcement was an April Fool’s joke.
However, the reputation of the mobile game has somewhat changed:
Blizzard has repeatedly emphasized that Diablo Immortal will also be released in the usual ‘Blizzard quality’. Moreover, Diablo Immortal and CoD: Mobile are said to be just the beginnings in mobile gaming for Activision Blizzard.
What about the other Diablo titles? Another positive aspect for Diablo fans is the other two games currently in development.
No new details were mentioned for Diablo 4. There is still no information regarding a release date.
What do you think of Diablo Immortal? Are you excited for the mobile game or are you ignoring it? Feel free to share your thoughts in the embedded poll and in the comments.
The football star Neymar is apparently active not only in real, but also in virtual stadiums. In FIFA 21, the Brazilian has an extremely powerful team – and it keeps getting stronger.
This is what Neymar’s team looks like right now: Neymar is no stranger in the world of video games. Logically, the Paris Saint-Germain forward is playable in the FIFA series, but also in Fortnite he just received a unique skin.
Neymar himself apparently also actively plays FIFA. Players on Reddit occasionally post that they faced the Brazilian as an opponent. How can you tell? In Neymar’s Ultimate Team, there is his personal Pro card, which only real football players receive to be able to field themselves in FUT.
They are then equipped with 99 ratings, making each Pro card one of the absolute top players in Ultimate Team. However, Neymar also has the advantage of individual animations, as well as 5 stars for weak foot and skills. In short: His Pro card is definitely among the best offensive cards that you can have in FIFA.
But his overall team is also impressive, as Reddit user “PxddlezOnYt” proves. He recently faced the forward in FUT and shared a screenshot of the team on Reddit:
User “PxddlezOnYt” faced Neymar’s Pro card and showed on Reddit what his team looked like
Neymar has further improved his impressive team
Here’s what Neymar has improved: Earlier posts had the Neymar team admired by the community. After all, it includes not only Neymar’s Pro card but also players like TOTY Messi or the Icon card of Gullit in the center. Two months ago, it looked like a team that you really wouldn’t want to play against.
Now it has gotten even worse.
For example, the Team-of-the-Year card of Ramos replaced the Icon card of Maldini, which is four overall rating points stronger.
And up front, Neymar now has the Moments card of Brazilian legend Kaká alongside Pelé. Before, he only had the Prime card (or relied on Ronaldinho).
Right back now stands the Moments version of Carlos Alberto, instead of the Prime variant.
Ah yes, and up front, there’s also TOTY Cristiano Ronaldo, who replaced Brazilian Ronaldo. In short: Neymar has a pretty perfect team.
Neymar’s already practically invincible team is now even more brutally set up in numbers. However, against the Reddit user, that apparently wasn’t enough – in his screenshot, he showed an end result of 4:3.
Building such a team is likely an impossible task for most players – even aside from the already inaccessible Neymar card. The pack system in FIFA 21 makes it difficult to acquire top players in FUT, which often leads to criticism. And also a new item in the FUT shop caused frustration among players.

A change on the PTR of Patch 9.1 in World of Warcraft brings positive vibes. The accumulated Soul Ash finally has a purpose again.
Patch 9.1 Chains of Domination of World of Warcraft is currently on the PTR and regularly brings new features. One of them should delight fans of alternate characters. Because soon there will be the possibility to transfer Soul Ash between characters, thus reducing the farm time for individual characters. However, some Soul Ash will be lost in the process.
What item is available? On the PTR, the item “Packed Soul Ash” has been discovered. This is an account-bound item that costs 1,500 Soul Ash and grants 1,300 Soul Ash upon use. With Soul Ash, you craft legendary items or upgrade them in Shadowlands.
A new item from Patch 9.1.
What does the item do? With this item, it will be possible to transfer Soul Ash between characters. There will be several options available. For example, you can:
Send Soul Ash from your main character to twinks so they can craft a high-ranking legendary item early.
Alternatively, you can send the Soul Ash from twinks to your main character if you want to possess all legendary items with him – for whatever reason.
Basically, players have more freedom in how they want to farm Soul Ash. For instance, if someone doesn’t enjoy playing a Paladin in Torghast and prefers to go there as a Mage, they could collect the Soul Ash with the Mage and then send it to their Paladin.
Note that when purchasing the item, approximately 13% of the Soul Ash is lost. Of the purchase price of 1,500 Soul Ash, only 1,300 Soul Ash remains.
It is still unclear whether the item needs to be unlocked or if all characters can purchase it immediately. According to the item description, it will be sold by Ve’nari in the Maw.
More twink-friendly features in Shadowlands are the goal: Although Shadowlands has an alternative leveling path for alternate characters with the Threads of Fate, many players find the twink-friendliness of the expansion rather low. Massive grinds like Anima to upgrade the Sanctum hinder the enjoyment of playing secondary characters. With adjustments like this to Soul Ash, Blizzard is taking small steps to satisfy players.
When will the item be available? Probably with the release of Patch 9.1. It is still on the PTR, and there is currently no release date. However, no one should expect the patch’s release before mid-June.
What do you think about the possibility of being able to send Soul Ash back and forth between your characters? A good opportunity to get rid of all the ash from your main character? Or do you not have any leftovers anyway?

With the Blackwood addon, new sets are coming to the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online (PC, PS4/PS5, and Xbox One as well as Xbox Series X). We present these sets to you.
If you enjoy collecting armor sets in ESO, Blackwood will be a pleasure for you. You can find the sets both in the Dark Forest zone and in the trial “Felsheim”. Some can also be crafted. The methods to earn the sets in the new expansion are not unusual.
Of course, a bit of grinding is again required to obtain the individual pieces. However, this is also the case with the previous sets that you can already find in ESO.
We present the individual armor sets to you, explain where you can find the pieces, and what exactly it brings you if you wear several or even all items of a set. Additionally, we have an assessment of the respective sets from the official ESO streamer MiezeMelli. You can find her on Twitch or Twitter.
You can watch the new sets from Blackwood here in this video by YouTuber ArzyeL Gaming:

This article was originally published on April 26 and updated on May 5. There we have added the assessments from MiezeMelli.
These sets are added with ESO: Blackwood
Bahsei’s Mania
You obtain the set through the new trial (light armor only)
2 items: Adds 129 spell damage
3 items: Permanent minor slayer, increases your damage in dungeons, trials, and against arena monsters by 5%
4 items: Adds 657 critical spell damage
5 items: Increases your damage against NPC enemies by up to 15% based on your missing Magicka
The perfect version additionally provides another 129 spell damage with 5 items.
What is this set good for? PvE, Magicka DD Builds.
How useful is it? Not very useful, as current player and group survivability (sustain) is very good, making it rare to achieve a high effect through the 5-piece bonus. Becomes better with poor sustain.
Moorslayer
You obtain the set in the new area (light, medium, and heavy)
2 items: Adds 1096 maximum Magicka
3 items: Adds 1206 maximum health
4 items: Adds 1096 maximum stamina
5 items: When a foe you have recently damaged dies, you gain 10 ultimate and your health regeneration increases by 1156 for 10 seconds. This effect can be repeated every 10 seconds.
What is this set good for? Stamina and Magicka DD Builds.
How useful is it? This set is interesting as a grinding setup and in certain situations in trials as a trash fight setup, allowing for more frequent ultimate ability usage (comparable to Totwater’s Pieces).
Deadlands Assassin
You obtain the set in the new area (light, medium, and heavy)
2 items: Adds 129 weapon damage
3 items: Adds 129 weapon damage
4 items: Adds 1096 maximum stamina
5 items: When you deal damage to an enemy within 10 meters with a heavy attack, you throw a cone of knives that deals physical damage to the affected enemies. If a hit enemy has 50% health or less, they also take 13 seconds of additional bleeding damage, based on the higher of weapon or spell damage.
What is this set good for? Stamina DD Builds.
How useful is it? In PvE, light attacks are stronger than heavy attacks at the moment, making this set less interesting.
Victory of the Diamond
You can craft the set (light, medium, and heavy)
2 items: Adds 129 weapon or spell damage
3 items: Adds 657 critical chance
4 items: Adds 129 weapon or spell damage
5 items: Dealing direct melee damage grants you 5 seconds of ranged superiority, adding 437 weapon and spell damage to your damage over time and ranged attacks. Dealing direct ranged damage grants you 5 seconds of melee superiority, adding 437 weapon and spell damage to your melee attacks.
What is this set good for? Stamina and Magicka DD Builds.
How useful is it? Interesting only for combinations like Magicka DD with melee spammable or Stamina DD with bow backbar. However, only part of the skills get buffed, so likely other sets with effects on all skills will be stronger.
Frostbite
You obtain the set in the new area (light, medium, and heavy)
2 items: Adds 129 spell damage
3 items: Adds 657 critical spell
4 items: Adds 129 spell damage
5 items: Increases your damage with frost abilities by 6%. Increases your damage against chilled enemies by 4%. Increases damage against enemies affected by Minor Brittle by 2%.
What is this set good for? PvP and battlegrounds.
How useful is it? Thinkable on a Guardian Frost build for battlegrounds.
Heartlander Overlord
You can craft the set (light, medium, and heavy)
2 items: Adds 129 weapon or spell damage
3 items: Adds 196 maximum Magicka
4 items: Adds 1096 maximum stamina
5 items: Increases the effectiveness of your weapon traits by 100%. This does not affect the traits “Decorated” or “Intricate”.
What is this set good for? PvP.
How useful is it? Sounds like an interesting damage set for PvP.
Hist Whisperer
You can craft the set (light, medium, and heavy)
2 items: Adds 129 health regeneration
3 items: Adds 129 stamina regeneration
4 items: Adds 129 Magicka regeneration
5 items: When you deal damage with a light or medium attack, you heal for 318 health and recover 318 stamina and Magicka. When you deal damage with a fully charged heavy attack, you heal for 636 health and recover 636 stamina and Magicka.
What is this set good for? PvP.
How useful is it? Sounds like a very interesting set for sustain in PvP.
Saxhleel Champion
You obtain the set through the new trial (heavy armor only)
2 items: Adds 1096 maximum Magicka
3 items: You receive a small Aegis at all times, reducing your damage taken from dungeons, trials, and arena monsters by 5%.
4 items: Increases maximum stamina by 1096
5 items: When you use an ultimate ability, you and up to 11 group members within 28 meters of you gain “Great Force” for 21 seconds, increasing critical damage dealt by 20%. This effect can occur once every 30 seconds.
The perfect version additionally provides another 1096 maximum stamina with 5 items.
What is this set good for? Tank and healer in PvE.
How useful is it? The last bonus is very interesting. Since healers and tanks often play the War Horn from the Alliance War as an ulti (this provides the same effect). In the future, one might replace this ulti with the set and take another ulti for even more damage.
You obtain the set through the new trial (light armor only)
2 items: Adds 129 Magicka regeneration
3 items: You receive a small Aegis at all times, reducing your damage taken from dungeons, trials, and arena monsters by 5%.
4 items: Adds another 129 Magicka regeneration
5 items: Your fully charged heavy attacks place a soul bomb on the target, which charges when the target takes damage. After 10 seconds, the bomb explodes, restoring 5% of the damage taken in the form of stamina and Magicka, up to 2240 stamina and Magicka, for 12 group members within 16 meters of the explosion. This effect can occur once every 10 seconds.
The perfect version additionally provides another 1096 maximum Magicka with 5 items.
What is this set good for? Healer in PvE.
How useful is it? Could be interesting as sustain sets for Magicka and stamina groups (comparable to Hollow Tooth).
Sul-Xan’s Torment
You obtain the set through the new trial (medium armor only)
2 items: Adds 129 weapon damage
3 items: Increases the damage you deal to dungeon, trial, and arena monsters by 5%.
4 items: Adds 657 critical weapon damage
5 items: When an enemy you have recently damaged dies, they leave behind a vengeful soul for 6 seconds. You can only generate one vengeful soul at a time. Touching the soul increases your weapon critical by 2160 and your critical damage by 12% for 30 seconds.
The perfect version additionally provides another 657 weapon critical with 5 items.
What is this set good for? Stamina DD in PvE.
How useful is it? Sounds interesting for a setup in arenas or dungeons for stamina DDs, but more challenging in trials due to positioning.
These are the new sets coming with ESO: Blackwood. What do you think of these? And which ones do you believe will be particularly useful?
With a pretty well-organized attack, a large group of players in CoD Warzone set out to hit the new map with a big explosion. Led by YouTuber MarleyThirteen, the plan was executed – and not for the first time.
This is how it went this time: As the YouTuber explains, the decision to cause another big explosion was made with the release of the new map. They now knew how to do it.
With the help of a complete custom lobby, they worked to position as many vehicles as possible in one spot. At one point, 96 people were involved in the implementation, kills were forbidden.
They chose a spot near the under-construction stadium. After slight problems and early explosions occurred during the gathering of vehicles last time, it was pointed out this time to please park as orderly as possible.
In a short time, a large pile of vehicles had gathered again. A few shots were fired early, and even a car was blown up. But there was no premature big bang – that didn’t take long to happen.
This is how it ended: Once everything was gathered, the players called for previously collected airstrikes. They struck and set the pile of vehicles ablaze. The explosions came, more and more vehicles went up in smoke – and then it was over. With the message “Server Snapshot Error”, the connection said goodbye. The goal was achieved.
“That was insane, guys. Consider Verdansk ’84 broken,” MarleyThirteen cheered. This time it worked right on the first try – the last attempt took three tries.

These are the sources for Powerful Loot in Season 13 of Destiny 2
This is how Powerful Loot is categorized in Destiny 2: Powerful Loot comes in several tiers, granting you different Power boosts. Accordingly, higher tiers also grant higher Power boosts.
Tier 1 (up to +3 above your current Power level)
Tier 2 (up to +4 above your current Power level)
Tier 3 (up to +5 above your current Power level)
Top Gear (+5 or more above Power level. The only gear that goes above 1300 and up to a maximum of 1310 – after that, level jumps are reduced by +1)
In Season 14, your Power level will only increase to 1,320 next week. This means if you work hard now, you only need to grind for the top loot.

In Outriders a bug has been driving players crazy since the last patch, related to their armor. The community has discovered a trick that seems to help with the issue.
What kind of bug is it?Since the last update, numerous players have been complaining that they can suddenly take significantly less damage in the endgame of Outriders than before.
They are being knocked out by numerous, even the smallest enemies, with just one hit.
What is the cause? No one knows for sure. There is currently no official statement from People Can Fly regarding the exact cause of the problem.
What is certain is that the problem occurred with the last patch, and there is no fix as of now. Reddit user Thorkle 13 (via reddit) has introduced a trick that at least temporarily helps with the bug.
If you want to avoid the nasty bug, you have to undress
What kind of trick is this? After growing frustration from failed expedition attempts, Thorkle 13 tried some things.
In desperation, he removed all of his gear and then put it back on. According to him, the next expedition went much better: “I think my armor literally didn’t work until I took it off and put it back on, because before I could take a maximum of 10% damage. After using this fix, about 30-40% was mitigated.”
While this doesn’t make him a tank god, at least he has a chance against enemies again. It’s important to repeat this after every expedition. In his post, he asks other players to try it as well and share their experiences.
Several other players then reported that they confirm Thorkle 13’s impression. The trick apparently works for many, at least they report that on reddit.
Does the armor value even work?
This is what the players suspect: Reports on reddit suggest that the trick needs to be used again after each expedition to maintain the effect. This leads to speculation. Does the game not properly recognize the players’ gear?
User funforreal9 (via reddit) draws a possible connection to another bug that has been released since the patch. Items are displayed as new in the inventory after each loading sequence, even if they are already equipped.
Some players now suspect that the game no longer properly recognizes the equipped armor, and certain values may not be active at all.
Therefore, one apparently has to remove and re-equip their equipment to let everything run normally. Some even suspect that physical defense doesn’t work at all and can only be compensated through defensive mods.
EA has just announced the new Bundesliga POTM in FIFA 21. The winner is Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmundand we show you whether the new card is worth it for your team.
What is POTM? “POTM” stands for “Player of the Month” – which means Player of the Month. It is awarded once a month for different leagues in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team.
For the Bundesliga, this time Erling Haaland won the fan voting. He is receiving his second POTM card in FUT 21 and is now the Player of the Month for April.

This is what the new POTM card can do: The stats of the new Haaland card are really strong and offer outstanding stats in all relevant areas. POTM-Haaland is lightning-fast, physically strong, and has incredible shooting stats, though they are somewhat marred by his 3-star weak foot.
However, there is strong competition: Haaland himself has another 91-rated card in the game that offers identical stats and is even slightly stronger in passing and dribbling. This is Haaland’s Headliners card.
Here you can compare both cards:
To add the new POTM card of Haaland to your team, you need to complete a proud 4 SBC tasks and exchange numerous cards. Here are the requirements:
Task 1: A team with 83 rating, team chemistry of 89, and one in-form player is required
Task 2: A team rating of 84 is required with a chemistry of 75
Task 3: You need one in-form player in a team with an 85 rating and a chemistry of 65
Task 4: A strong 86-rated team must be submitted with a team chemistry of 55
In total, you will need to invest around 320,000 coins (as of May 4 at 5:30 PM) if you cannot give away any players from your own club.
Is POTM Haaland worth it? If you want to play with a fast striker with great shooting stats and outstanding physicality in your team, then Haaland is a good choice. However, you should rather use his Headliners card. This card offers the same stats as POTM-Haaland and costs roughly the same number of coins:
POTM-Haaland costs about 320,000 coins
Headliners-Haaland costs about 330,000 coins
Another advantage is that Haaland’s Headliners card can get even better. Once Haaland makes it into a TOTW (Team of the Week), the card will receive an additional rating upgrade. Additionally, you can sell it if you do not like it.
The POTM card of Haaland is worth it only for players who have plenty of SBC fodder in their club and can acquire the card much cheaper.
But in both cases, it might also be worth waiting for the Bundesliga TOTS, where another and possibly even stronger Haaland card could be coming to the players.
If you’re looking for strong TOTS cards, we have a few budget-friendly recommendations for you:

These contents await you in the Season of the Splicer
This is the seasonal story: The Vex have managed to plunge the Last City into endless darkness and trap us in a simulation where the sun no longer rises. Therefore, you must team up with the Fallen and hack the Vex network from within.
Our old friend Mithrax will assist us in this effort and use the forbidden Splicer technology. The Splicers are essentially technology shamans who worship SIVA and other mysterious devices and nearly wiped out humanity once.
Two new activities provide variety in PvE
Override: A 6-player activity with integrated matchmaking. You are supposed to hack into a Vex network together and steal a code.
Tildung: You are to advance weekly into an evolving Vex architecture, using Splicer keys to open vulnerabilities and bring the Vex down from within.
A first look at the activities “Override” and “Tildung”
Additionally, your H.E.L.M. base in the Tower will be expanded. Here you can then access Splicer technology yourself.
The Vault of Glass opens again
This is the “new” raid: It was already known beforehand that the “Vault of Glass” returns as a raid. This is the very first raid in Destiny’s history, which originally opened its doors in 2014.
In the trailer, we only saw the famous entrance area on Venus. Starting from May 22, you can see for yourself why veterans have been raving about their adventures on Venus for years.

All the new activities should remain relevant throughout Year 4 in the game. Because Destiny 2 is moving away from FOMO (Fear of Mission Out, or fear of missing out). So you can also catch up on content from the expiring Season 13.
Bungie mentions that you can hunt over 30 new and revamped legendary weapons in Season 14. These will be divided among the Trials, Iron Banner, the new activities, the raid, and surely also a quest weapon.
We have already seen some of the new Splicer weapons in action in the trailer. Additionally, Bungie shared a screenshot of it:
These are likely the new weapons from the seasonal activities
Which Exotics do we know? Bungie has presented 4 new Exotics directly:
Kryosthesie 77K: An exotic Stasis sidearm. This is special since there is only one Stasis weapon so far, and you carry it in the power slot. The weapon is likely to be included in the new season pass and also available to Free2Play Guardians.
Stellar Hunter’s Boots: Exotic Hunter boots that charge and enhance your super quickly.
Path of Burning Steps: Exotic Titan boots that enhance your weapons after a Solar kill and are said to withstand Stasis better.
Boots of the Tinkerer: Exotic Warlock boots that send the healing or empowering powers of the Rift to your allies at range – sounds like the Lumina Revolver as a shoe.
With great certainty, there is still a secret Exotic waiting to be found by you. Additionally, there is also a new seasonal artifact that raises your power level and provides you with useful mods. Moreover, the long-demanded cosmetic feature of real Transmog is the focus of the new season.
