In Season 23 of Diablo 3 you should complete 3 achievements in the season journey. You will be rewarded with a cute pet. We will show you which achievements are suitable for “Flawless Victory”.
What is happening in Diablo 3? Since early April 2021, Season 23 is running in Diablo 3. During this season, you can earn a special pet, the Lacuni Cub, for completing the season journey. However, the community often asks which 3 achievements are the easiest in Season 23 to unlock the pet.
In this overview, we show you three achievements that you can easily complete here on MeinMMO. We also provide you with tips and guides on how to achieve them.
Simply Divine
Boss Mode
Speed Demon
1. Simply Divine
What is it? This is probably the easiest achievement in Season 23. You need to complete a Greater Nephalem Rift level 75 in solo play.
How to do it? To achieve this, you need some “better” gear. A Greater Rift level 75 corresponds to the difficulty of Torment 16. With your core build (6-piece set bonus, weapons/items to enhance your build) for Season 23, such a portal should be easily possible.
What is it? For this achievement, you need to kill a list of bosses within 20 minutes after starting the game.
How to do it? This achievement works easiest in a group of three or more players. In the group, discuss before starting the game which player runs to which boss. You can secure the various portal points to the bosses through the Town Portals and subsequent teleporting across the map and take them down in order.
In our guide to Boss Mode in Diablo 3, we show you exactly which bosses to split up and how to complete the achievement easily. We also provide tips and tricks in case you are tackling this achievement for the first time.
3. Speed Demon
What is it? Complete a Nephalem Rift at Torment 10 (or higher) when your character reaches level 70. But do it within 2 minutes.
How to do it? For this achievement, speed builds are necessary. The difference to solo push builds is that you complete the Nephalem Rifts quickly with speed builds. However, they have little potential in higher Greater Rifts. But at Torment 10, speed builds are no problem at all.
It becomes even easier if you play with at least one other player. Then you split up in the Nephalem Rift and clear everything quickly. Best to avoid picking up loot – that only costs time. Just before the Rift Guardian appears, one player teleports to the city to close the portal immediately. This saves time again.
You can also take a look at the Tier List for Season 23 in Diablo 3. Some builds like the WW-Barbarian are great for speed farming. In groups, it almost doesn’t matter which build you play. If you are already well advanced in Season 23, everything at Torment 10 should fall down as soon as you look at it.
This is what the season journey gives you: If you complete the season journey, you can expect three rewards.
2 portrait frames
1 companion
For many players, the companion “Lacuni Cub” is the highlight of Season 23. When summoned, it collects gold dropped by enemies for you just like the other pets. Companions are therefore a convenient help for your adventures.

A new change now censors certain terms in World of Warcraft – At least on the US servers. Not only individual words are obscured, but whole sentences are deleted, which are never sent.
What is this change? Blizzard has apparently introduced a new list of “reserved words”, which are words under reservation that are automatically blocked in WoW chat. Players have been observing this for some time now.
On the US servers, players receive a message in the chat when they use such a word. The message says something like: “Could not send the message to the player because your message contained prohibited words.”
The filter applies when a player tries to write someone else something in the game – for example, by whispering. However, if the sentence is sent from Battle.net to WoW, there is no censorship.
What words are blocked? According to wowhead, currently there is only a single word on the list that is not specified. The authors only mention a “racial slur that for obvious reasons will not be repeated” – presumably it is the “N-word”.
This message appears for prohibited words. Image source: wowhead.
However, some users in the US forums reported weeks ago that they encountered such blocked words. One of them is the word “moist” (also in German: feucht; via WoW forums).
Does this also apply to us? At the moment, it appears that there is no filter on the German servers yet. We tested it with several insults (of course with friends, whom we asked for permission beforehand).
However, users in the EU forums are already complaining about the censorship (via WoW forums). However, we have not yet been able to determine which words are affected.
The reaction to Blizzard’s new chat censorship is mixed. Many wowhead users agree that racist terms do not belong in the game and can be censored and deleted. They believe this will curb toxic behavior.
In the forums, users tend to think that such functions should be reserved for guild masters so that they can ensure a positive atmosphere in the guilds. A general filter drives players to other chat options like Discord.
The user MORFOS1910 on wowhead even goes a bit further with his criticism. He writes:
You will remember this day, when they ban more words. This is only the beginning. Why do they care about a single word? It doesn’t. They start with this word, then it will become more political. […] Just look at the word ban list from Battlefield 5, that could happen.
Battlefield 5 was heavily mocked by players for its chat filters, and MORFOS1910 apparently sees the same danger for such filters in WoW. Furthermore, players would simply find ways to circumvent the filters with creative solutions. A ban is simply not sustainable.
Moreover, there is the difficulty of applying such filters universally. WoW is played in many languages and terms in one language can sound similar to an insult in another. Often developers only consider English and block everything that might be insulting there.
In the EU forums, for example, the player Ishayo notes that the Danish and Swedish word “slut” simply means end there, whereas in English it means slut and is thus banned. A player in Apex Legends has also experienced such a misunderstanding with a ban:
Legendary armors and weapons are the main loot in the co-op shooter Outriders. They have a special appearance and particularly powerful mods that can be combined. MeinMMO shows you how to find and farm these legendaries best.
What is legendary equipment? This is the highest level of loot that you can find in Outriders. They are particularly powerful thanks to their rank-3 mods and also offer unique designs.
Legendary armors also have set bonuses that allow for particularly powerful combinations. Three parts are needed per set. After the story ends, a large part of the endgame consists of farming legendaries and refining your builds.
Usually, the mods of the weapons also complement each other well, allowing each weapon to favor a specific playstyle.
This is what examples of legendary items look like.
What makes rank-3 mods so sought after? They only appear on legendary weapons and armors and have particularly powerful traits. Through the crafting system of Outriders, modifications of equipment parts can be removed when dismantled.
This unlocks the respective mods for crafting and allows them to be applied to other items. Legendary mods can thus be combined or even attached to epic gear. To build the most powerful combinations in Outriders, you cannot avoid collecting legendary loot and its mods.
We summarize where you can get your legendaries in this guide. We will show you some farming methods and also ways to guarantee to find legendary equipment.
Here’s how mods work: They are attributes that equipment can have starting from the rare (blue) level.
Modifications are a crucial factor in Outriders. They are divided into three levels; the higher the level, the more extensively these mods affect an item. However, rank-3 mods are reserved for legendary weapons and armors and are usually particularly good.
Overall, there are 30 quests scattered across all areas up to the end of the story. You need to play through the story of Outriders almost completely to finish these quest lines.
Historian quests
Historian quests send you on the search for lost items that originated from earth and are now scattered across Enoch. You unlock these quests in the first chapter of the story.
The missions always follow the same pattern: you enter an area, have to defeat several waves of enemies, and retrieve the desired item. The quests don’t take much time since there are almost never long distances to cover.
Hunt quests
In hunt quests, you must eliminate deadly creatures and deliver their trophies. These become available in chapter 5 of Outriders when you reach Trench Town.
Compared to historian missions, you will face more enemies, and at the end of each one, a powerful beast awaits you.
While in some of the quests you don’t have to walk far, there are indeed some quests here that are divided into sections. However, the time required is not particularly high either.
Wanted quests
In wanted missions, you need to take out dangerous types for whom a bounty has been placed. These are usually types who, like you, are equipped with special powers.
The wanted quests follow the same pattern as the other mission types. However, there are some spots that could be a bit tricky due to hostile snipers.
On the map, you can see the respective quest markers for the mission types.
In the endgame, this no longer pays off
The missions outlined above are primarily suitable for completing your mod collection. They are only partially suitable for the endgame. Because during the story, you can reach a maximum world level of 15. At that level, items drop at level 42. However, this is not the maximum.
What is the actual maximum level for equipment? Although players can only reach a maximum of level 30, the limit for weapons and armors is level 50 and thus significantly higher. This will later be possible through the expeditions.
With enough materials, you can also level up legendary parts to level 50 through crafting. However, this is an expensive affair, as leveling up costs considerable resources as the level progresses.
Therefore, at a certain point, you cannot avoid the following endgame activity.
2. Finding legendaries in expeditions
What are expeditions? This is the endgame activity of Outriders. It is unlocked after completing the main story. These are rotating missions where you are sent to different areas.
This is how they work: In the expeditions, the world levels are no longer decisive, but rather the challenge levels. These determine how high the enemy level, the number of enemies, and the overall difficulty in the expeditions are.
Each expedition has a bronze, silver, and gold time
The faster you are, the better the reward at the end will be.
Expeditions vary in their scope and timings
Only four expeditions are active at the same time
They rotate with the completion of an expedition or restarting the game
They are the only way to obtain equipment beyond level 42
The goal of the expedition is to reach landing capsules. In them, a ton of loot awaits you, depending on how successfully you complete it. You can find out more about the expeditions in our overview: Expeditions are the endgame of Outriders – Here’s how they work
Even at challenge rank 10, the chance of a legendary item is 6%.
Which expeditions are best for farming legendaries? This is hard to say. Depending on the class played, weapon setup, and build, this can vary greatly. However, some expeditions seem to be a bit easier than others. These include:
Chemical Plant
Colosseum
Stargrave
Booming Business
The Arches of Enoch
These expeditions are well-suited due to their enemy spawns and time requirements and are also good for getting into expeditions. However, it remains to be seen how this will develop further. With update 1.05, the timer times were already revised.
Some expeditions require landing capsule resources to play them. As of now (April 20), they have no advantages over the other missions. So avoid these until you can afford them comfortably.
The chemical plant is considered one of the easiest expeditions.
Other sources for legendary equipment
Throughout the game, there are a few other ways to find legendary items. However, you can only get them once per character.
Here’s how you can definitely get legendaries:
World levels: From world level 12 to 15, you receive a legendary weapon as a reward with each ascent, totaling four.
Side missions: There are some side missions that reward you with legendary weapons at the end. This includes “The Legacy of the Outriders”, “Big Iron”, and “Abandoned Chapel”.
Merchants: Once you unlock the expeditions, the character Tiago in your camp offers a shop with legendary items. The offer is fixed, and you need landing capsule resources to buy them. You get those for successfully completing expeditions.
Boss drops in the story: Throughout the main story, you will encounter several bosses. Some will reward you with a legendary weapon when you defeat them. This includes the Chrysalid mutant from chapter 7 “Forest Enclave”. There’s also a legendary weapon in chapter 12 after defeating the boss.
Elite enemies were popular in the demo; what about now?
In theory, you also have the chance to get legendary items from elite enemies. In the Outriders demo, it was already possible to farm legendary weapons early in the first chapter. However, the chance is very low. If you don’t feel like shooting through hordes of enemies, it remains a possible option.
Especially the story point “Find the origin of the light in the distance” in the chapter “Dunes” is well-suited. The first confrontation throws a so-called Warlord elite enemy practically right in your face. Kill him as quickly as possible, then let the other enemies overwhelm you.
However, this is not advisable if you have not yet reached world level 15 and want to achieve that. Dying will reduce your progress in world rank, which not only defines the difficulty level but also drop chances and loot level.
Is it worth it? The YouTuber DPJ tested this method and defeated the Warlord 200 times in a row. He ended up with 168 rare, 167 epic, and 1 legendary item (via YouTube). He took one hour and 42 minutes to do this.
This method is therefore only very limitedly recommended for legendary items. However, in terms of materials and other equipment, it can definitely be worth it, but as a farm spot for legendary items, it’s less suitable.
There is also the problem that the maximum item level is 42, just like in the other missions. So for the endgame, it’s mainly worth looking at the resources in terms of scrap and titanium that come along.
How do you farm legendary equipment? Do you know any other methods for farming? Let us know in the comments.
The new Season 3 of Call of Duty starts on Thursday, April 22. The CoD makers have now released a roadmap, showcasing upcoming content for Black Ops Cold War and gave a small insight into the changes in Battle Royale Warzone. MeinMMO shows you the roadmap and provides information about it.
Update April 21: You can now download the update for Cold War, and there are already changes in the game. However, the new content for Season 3 will go live tomorrow morning at 6 AM.
Some players also report that they can start a pre-load for update 1.36 of Warzone. However, the reports are still sporadic, and it may be that it doesn’t work for you yet.
Season 2 is slowly but surely coming to an end. The expired season will likely not be remembered fondly by many players – too little content for Cold War, too little action for Warzone.
Now Call of Duty has released the roadmap for Season 3, and already at the start of the new, free content cycle, there seems to be more to see than in the entire last season:
When does the new season start? In the CoD blog about the update (via callofduty.com), the developers explain that the new season officially starts on April 22. However, the updates for the new season will go live earlier:
Cold War: Season update on April 21 at 06:00 AM
Warzone: Season update on April 22 at 06:00 AM
Meanwhile, the “Cold War” update is available and already makes some changes in the game – for example, the weapon balance. However, you cannot play the new maps and modes just yet. They will go live tomorrow morning.
How big are the updates? At the season start, there are relatively large updates for both CoDs:
Cold War update size Season 3
PlayStation 5: 12.3 GB
PlayStation 4: 8.1 GB
Xbox Series X / S: 11.6 GB
Xbox One: 8.3 GB
PC: 13.1 GB
Warzone update size Season 3
PlayStation 5: 25.6 GB
PlayStation 4: 25.6 GB
Xbox Series X / Xbox Series S: 25.9 GB
Xbox One: 25.9 GB
PC: 25.2 GB
CoD Warzone: Season 3 – Content at Launch
What happens in Warzone at the season start? With the roadmap, the developers have now finally confirmed what many players and leakers have long suspected: Something is happening on the big map Verdansk. However, expectations need to be tempered a bit. Instead of a completely new map, there will likely just be a “Warzone map update”.
A big leak showed snippets from a past Verdansk a few weeks ago. The map may be reverted to the time of “Cold War” and thus receive a facelift. An “update” of the map suggests that certain areas will remain the same, while others will be changed. However, details are not yet officially known.
At the season start, an event called – Hunt for Adler will also go live. During the event, there will be challenges for Cold War and Warzone, where you can secure special cosmetics for both games. If you complete all tasks, there is a special skin for Adler.
How the map changes will come into the game, whether the Adler event has anything to do with it, and what will happen with the zombies is still unclear.
Whether the entries are multiple dates for the same event, like during the reveal of Cold War in Warzone, is currently unknown. Back then, you could experience the presentation of the first trailer of Cold War in the Battle Royale, and the event was online at different times over several days.
Leaks about the Warzone event, however, suggest that it is a multi-part event. You may experience the end of the zombie story of the current Verdansk in the first stage, and the other events will already take place in the new version of the city. However, this cannot be said for sure at the moment.
CoD Cold War: Season 3 – Content at Launch
What happens in Cold War at the season start? With Season 2, players of the multiplayer were only served small bites, and during the season there were only 2 new 6v6 maps. In the new season, it looks different, and you will be served two fresh maps at the start. However, Outbreak also gets an upgrade, and there will be a new scorestreak:
Yamantau – 6v6 map: Yamantau is a mountain in the Ural Mountains and was the setting for a campaign mission
Diesel – 6v6/2v2/3v3 map: A rather small map with a gas station in the center
Sticks & Stones – mode: Well-known party mode with fixed loadout. In an earlier version, players only had a crossbow, the ballistic knife, and tomahawks
Strafe Run – scorestreak: Medium streak that starts an airstrike on a target
Outbreak expansions: The “Duga” map will be part of Outbreak. There will also be new tasks, new vehicles, and world events where you can get wonder weapons
Toxic Growth – field upgrade for zombies: Undead can be halted and slowed down with this
During the season, at least one more 6v6 map (the classic Standoff) will also come, and the Duga map will also be available for the Fireteam mode. Additionally, the developers announced a kind of battle royale for Fireteam – “Multi-Team Elimination”. Although there are respawns, they should be heavily limited. Moreover, you cannot take your entire loadout into the match. The last team standing with four people wins the match.
However, there is currently no new information about a new map for the zombie mode and the introduction of Easter eggs in Outbreak.
Season 3: Weapons, Battle Pass, Prestige Update
What content do both CoDs share? Warzone and Cold War are connected, and as a result, there is content that is relevant in both CoDs.
There is again a new battle pass that brings cosmetic content and two new weapons for both games. Over 100 levels, you can acquire many items that are purely aesthetic. In addition, there are two new weapons:
Sniper rifle: Swiss K31
Submachine gun: PPSH-41
In the release week, the ballistic knife is also expected to come to Cold War. The melee weapon allows you to shoot blades around. For Warzone, the knife is planned for mid-season. Overall, the developers announced 6 new weapons for the entire season.
Additionally, two new operators will enter the game at launch. “Wraith” is visible on the roadmap, and she is joined by an old friend: Captain Price. The legendary operator from Modern Warfare is now also coming to Black Ops Cold War – in a somewhat younger version.
Furthermore, there is again an update of the prestige system. Your season rank will be reset, and you can acquire 4 new prestige emblems. With each prestige level, you will receive a prestige key, a tier skip for the battle pass, and additional challenges. After the first 50 levels, there is also a weapon blueprint.
The roadmap for Season 3 is packed and caters to fans of both Warzone and Cold War’s multiplayer mode alike. Only the zombie mode gets relatively less new content compared to the start of Season 2. Back then, there was the Outbreak mode and, thus, a completely fresh experience.
The first in-game preparations for the new season are already underway. Warzone nerfed the OP pistol Sykov, which caused a stir in the battle royale for a few days.
What do you think of the announcements? Are you satisfied with the presented content, or is there something you wish had been included? Feel free to discuss with us in the comments on MeinMMO.

In Pokémon GO, the Spotlight Hour with Sleima starts today, on April 20th. MeinMMO shows you all the bonuses and reveals if the event is worth it.
What is a Spotlight Hour? This event takes place every Tuesday in Pokémon GO and spotlights a special Pokémon for one hour. In addition, there is a bonus that rounds off the event.
This is the story of Sleima: The Pokémon originated from sludge and industrial waste. In general, Sleima feeds on such things and lives where it is dirty. However, Sleima’s population in large cities has decreased due to the improving hygienic conditions.
Spotlight Hour with Sleima – Start Time and Bonuses
When does it start? The Spotlight Hour starts today at 6:00 PM local time. It lasts exactly one hour and ends at 7:00 PM.
Here are the bonuses: During the Spotlight Hour, spawns will be increased, and nearly every Pokémon will be a Sleima.
Additionally, there will be double Stardust for caught Pokémon. You will receive at least 200 Stardust per Pokémon. With a Star Piece, you’ll even receive at least 300 Stardust.
Is there Shiny Sleima? Yes, the Shiny version of Sleima has been available to catch in Pokémon GO for some time. You can easily recognize the difference, as the shiny version is green instead of purple:
Here you see Shiny Sleima.
Is the Spotlight Hour worth it? Absolutely! With Sleima, you have a Pokémon that is interesting for shiny hunters. Furthermore, it is easy to hit excellently, allowing you to quickly and effectively collect XP.
Moreover, the Stardust bonus is strong. Stardust is the most important resource in the game, as you can use it to strengthen your Pokémon. You can never have enough dust, so you should definitely take advantage of this bonus.
What’s next in Pokémon GO? There’s still plenty to come this month in Pokémon GO. After the current Sustainability Week, there will be another event surrounding the release of New Pokémon Snap, where you will encounter Shiny Coloragle for the first time. You can find more information on upcoming events here in the overview:
The Twitch streamer Moe “Yassuo” Abdalrhman (21) specializes in League of Legends, but is now participating in a major tournament on Twitch and had to play Mortal Kombat 11 there. However, his temperament proved to be his downfall.
Here is the situation: 21-year-old Yassuo is a professional streamer for 100 Thieves, Nadeshot’s e-sports organization. It has now become fashionable for e-sports clans to not only employ e-sport athletes but also hire Twitch streamers and YouTubers.
Yassuo participated in the tournament “AT&T Annihilator Cup”. The large US corporation announced an e-sports tournament for the entire April 2020: 20 streamers compete against each other in 5 games. In the end, a prize pool of $100,000 awaits.
The games played are Apex Legends, CS:GO, Mortal Kombat 11, Halo and Among Us, which doesn’t really fit this list.
Participants include some of the big Twitch stars with e-sports ambitions like shroud, Lirik, Mizkif and also Yassuo. The tournament is currently ongoing: Mortal Kombat 11 was played last weekend.
Keyboard broken and the next round begins
This is the clip: Yassuo faces off against the Ninja Scorpion against Cetrion, the “Goddess of Life”. Yassuo loses the match and control, as the streamer Emiru catches him and lands the finishing blow.
Yassuo stands up and angrily pounds on the keyboard. As he stomps and storms away from the computer in rage, you can hear the keys fall out of the keyboard and clatter on the hardwood floor.

Yassuo immediately understands what he has done, exclaims “Fuck – my Keys” and starts to panic, trying to put the individual keys back into the keyboard, because the next round is about to begin. And he just destroyed his working device.
And then it continued: Right after the outburst, Yassuo was sober again and started to furiously pound on his keyboard in the next round. Because the old rule applies: The harder you hit the keys, the more damage you do.
But also because some keys were missing, he lost the next round and the victory went to Emiru. During a break before the next match, Yassuo was able to press enough keys back into the keyboard to continue.
You can see: Anger outbursts put gamers mentally off balance, as Yassuo surely knows from LoL: Tilt threatens. But an outburst directed at the equipment can decrease the chances of winning in the next match for mundane reasons: A keyboard without keys doesn’t really work.
One streamer even made it his trademark to destroy keyboards on Twitch by smashing them over his head in anger. He even bought cheaper keyboards specifically to destroy them. But Twitch didn’t find that funny at all:
A new Windows update is currently worrying gamers. The update is causing blue screens and crashes, as well as issues while gaming. Users with AMD, Intel, and Nvidia hardware are reportedly affected. At least two tips should help alleviate the problems.
What it’s about: Windows has installed updates for some users that are causing trouble. Specifically, this concerns the updates with the numbers KB5001330 and KB5001337.
These updates were initially intended to improve HDR rendering. Instead, users are now complaining about problems.
Who is affected? Users with different hardware are affected. AMD users are complaining just as much as Nvidia graphics card owners or users with an Intel processor. Here it doesn’t matter how old or new the installed hardware is.
What is causing the problems? It is still uncertain what is causing the issues. Some speculate that there are problems between graphics card drivers and the latest update. Others suspect that the update is simply broken. The situation on reddit is correspondingly tense, and a solution is awaited.
Players complain about crashes and low FPS in games after Windows update
What problems are there? In a lengthy reddit post (via reddit.com), they discuss the problems. Several difficulties are also listed:
Blue screens and sporadic crashes
Severe drops in frame rate in various games
Problems with V-Sync
Which games are affected? Various games are listed on reddit that are unplayable or at least do not run smoothly. These include Doom Eternal, Call of Duty: Warzone, Assetto Corsa, or Red Dead Redemption 2.
Uninstalling and changing power settings on Windows should help
What you can do: If you are experiencing these issues, you can currently try two things:
Either uninstall the problematic updates KB5001330 and KB5001337
Or test the power plan on Windows
Note: Uninstalling security updates may jeopardize your system. You implement these tips at your own risk! We accept no liability for damages.
Uninstalling Windows updates: If you want to uninstall updates, then search for “Update & Security” in the menu. Here, select “View update history” and then the item “Uninstall updates.”
You can then uninstall the two updates here. However, make sure that Windows does not immediately reinstall the updates. In the “Update & Security” menu, you can also activate an update pause.
In general, we would definitely recommend installing all Windows updates. Because these updates patch security vulnerabilities in the system, which is particularly important if you are online or regularly gaming.
How to activate the power plan: First, open the Control Panel. Here, select “Hardware and Sound” and then “Power Options.”
You can change the settings here. Switch to the “High Performance” or “Ultimate Performance” profile. This should prevent problems and severe frame drops.
Are you looking for more tips to get more performance out of your PC? Here we present 5 things for under 20 Euros that can improve your PC’s performance.

In an upcoming update, Blizzard will adjust the dungeon Sanguine Depths in World of Warcraft. It is currently considered the hardest instance in Shadowlands, especially at higher keystone levels. However, players are not quite sure if the nerfs are addressing the right issues.
What will be nerfed? The Sanguine Depths is currently the dungeon that is considered difficult every week – regardless of which affixes you are facing. Therefore, Blizzard has announced some nerfs:
Dark Acolytes now take 2 seconds to cast Dark Bolt (previously 1.5 seconds)
Shards of the Chamber Guardians now deal 20% less damage, are cast less often, and target fewer players
Za’ralis’ Gleaming Beam now removes all bleed effects, including Severing Slash and Cruelty
Unending Agony (High Overseer Beryllia) will no longer be cast multiple times in a row
The damage of Malicious Cut (General Kaal) has been reduced by 33%
Additionally, an exploit has been fixed that allowed lanterns in the dungeon (Venthyr ability) to charge too quickly with a toy. Moreover, there is an adjustment in the heights of ascension: there is a bug fix in which a spear throw was not registered even if it appeared to have hit.
The nerf will go live with the next server restart on Wednesday, April 21, 2021.
General Kaal may no longer be as fearsome as before.
What exactly does the nerf affect? Both some trash groups and boss fights have become easier due to the nerfs. At the same time, however, an exploit with the lantern has been removed, which previously allowed players to trivialize certain sections.
Why the dungeon is considered so hard: In the Sanguine Depths, the overall package is difficult. Especially the bosses pose problems for players, particularly the third and fourth.
The third boss High Overseer Beryllia chains several mechanics particularly viciously. There are regular damage effects on multiple players, heavy damage on the tank, and areas that must be avoided. For healers, it is difficult to heal both the group and the tank without dying themselves.
The fourth boss General Kaal is particularly challenging due to its preceding gauntlet. This costs a lot of time and can quickly wipe the group upon a mistake, which results in lost time and possibly the keystone.
What the players say: The changes have been well received so far, and many players consider them to be the right move. Nevertheless, some users on the subreddit Competitive WoW feel that the nerfs are happening in the wrong places (via reddit).
No one should be hit by abilities like Shards, and if they are, they will be instantly killed at higher levels anyway. Reducing its damage seems to make little sense.
Especially for the third boss, an adjustment would have been better, such as preventing areas from spawning under the healer. However, the nerfs to Kaal and the fix for the lantern exploit are unanimously welcomed.
However, those who still need a higher keystone in the Sanguine Depths will likely have better chances now. This will be particularly advantageous with regard to the upcoming Update 9.1, as there will apparently be a proper dungeon score starting then:
The Elder Scrolls Online has brought the new expansion Blackwood to the test server. With the update, many new content pieces were released, including the story involving Mehrunes Dagon and the companions. However, players are more excited about a small detail regarding an NPC that will no longer shout as often.
What’s going on? In the patch notes for the release of Blackwood on the test server, players found a small but interesting detail. It states:
Can you believe it? Dragons! In your own homeland! What are you going to do? Well, we’re going to make this scene play less often, is what we’re going to do.
The developers are referring to NPCs that repeat the phrase “Can you believe it? Dragons! In your own homeland! What are you going to do?” over and over again. This phrase has become a meme in the ESO community.
There are players who complained back in 2019 about hearing the phrase “at least 2,000 times” (via ESO Forum). Now, with Blackwood, the frequency at which the phrase is played has apparently been significantly reduced. This has been well received.
We have embedded a video from YouTuber Bacon_ containing the relevant dialogue:

How is the adjustment received? On the ESO subreddit, a thread on this topic is currently ranked #1 and has received over 2,600 upvotes (via reddit). In it, over 100 players celebrate this adjustment:
Siligurl20 is very pleased with the change: “Oh my God, finally, thank God.”
ormondhsacker writes: “Finally, the game will be playable again, as I see it.”
Destindil is happy but also has another wish: “I’m so glad they fixed this after people complained for two years. It looks like the many contributions paid off! Now they just need to fix the rest of the NPCs, and everything will be right in the world.”
Destindil is not alone with this wish. The thread mentions at least 6 other NPCs whose dialogues are slowly getting on players’ nerves, including the NPC Stuga, who is located in Daggerfall.
However, it is currently unknown if or when these will be adjusted.
What’s new in ESO: The change in the dialogue came along with the new expansion Blackwood on the test server. Players can now explore the new areas, experience the story surrounding Mehrunes Dagon, and try out the companions we have already extensively tested:
Keep in mind that this is a test server, so various bugs may occur or some content may not be playable at all.
In the coming days, we will try out the story ourselves on MeinMMO and summarize the reactions to Blackwood. Anyone who wants to inform themselves extensively about the expansion beforehand can find all the information in this overview:
The PC MMORPG Dungeon Fighter Online is incredibly successful in China, South Korea, and Japan, even though hardly anyone knows it in the West and it is just limping along on Steam: The developers now announce that they will release a remake with updated graphics. This is also what some fans wish for World of Warcraft, our MMORPG hit.
What is Dungeon Fighter Online? It’s an MMORPG as a 2D sidescroller and features elements of a “Beat ’em Up”: It was released in 2005 in South Korea and has been incredibly successful in the Asian region for 15 years:
The game has over 700 million players and has generated over 15 billion US dollars worldwide.
In Japan, the game has already received animes and mangas: It is considered one of the “entertainment media products with the highest revenue of all time” and proudly stands in a large list between the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Pac-Man (via wikipedia).
With a 10-year delay, Dungeon Fighter Online was also released in the West: However, it only has mediocre reviews on Steam, around 64%. In Asia, however, it is a cult series like Warcraft is for us with WoW.
The original game with better graphics – What many wish for WoW
This is the new game: The developers of Dungeon Fighter Online, Neople, have now introduced a new game for PC: Dungeon & Fighter Overkill is the provisional name of the project.
The game uses Unreal Engine 4 from Epic and is supposed to be a “massive remake” of the original as MMO Culture reports – but with 3D graphics. Dungeon Fighter Online still runs as a 2D game as a sidescroller.
It is supposed to be a “side scrolling action MMO”.
A first teaser trailer gives an insight into the game:

The developers for Dungeon & Fighter Overkill are now looking for a lot of new people to develop the core of the game. There is still no further information on when the game will be released.
This is what it’s about: They are doing in South Korea what many in the West also wish for WoW: the same game again, but with updated graphics.
In Europe and the USA, these are fan fantasies that only exist as videos: But every time a YouTuber releases a video about “World of Warcraft in the graphics of Unreal Engine 4”, the videos get really high view counts.
In Europe, developers are reluctant to make major upgrades for graphics or engine. In South Korea, however, studios are actually tackling such graphic revisions. This can be seen in the South Korean MMORPGs Black Desert and Blade & Soul.
Maybe Dungeon & Fighter Overkill will eventually manage to bring us the phenomenon of the “Dungeon Fighter Online” series closer, which fascinates so many in Asia.
Neople has been developing another new MMORPG based on Dungeon Fighter Online for some time: Project BBQ.
In Pokémon GO the Sustainability Week has started. This environmental event in April 2021 brings you new quests as field research and also a limited research. We show you here what has changed for you.

Call of Duty: Warzone released the new update 1.35 on the evening of April 19, nerfing the OP pistol Sykov, which rampaged in Battle Royale over the weekend. Additionally, the developers fixed the broken sniper scopes and some weapon perks from CoD MW. MeinMMO shows and explains the patch notes.
Now the Sykov has already been nerfed – in record time. In addition to the nerf, there were a few other important changes:
Nerf of the Sykov pistol with auto-fire and Akimbo
Fix of the broken sniper scopes from CoD MW
Some broken weapon perks from CoD MW have been repaired
MeinMMO shows you the patch notes for the new update and explains the background.
CoD Warzone: Update 1.35 on April 19 nerfs Sykov
What should you know about the Sykov nerf? The pistol unexpectedly arrived in the game last Thursday (April 15) and was OP from the start. Its time-to-kill potential was on shotgun level, yet the pistol could be included in the loadout even without the “Overkill” perk. The combination of automatic fire, Akimbo version, and 160 rounds in the chamber was just too strong.
To get the little beast under control, the developers have now nerfed some values of the strong attachments and lowered the damage when using auto-fire together with Akimbo. The patch notes state:
Sorokin barrel and Akimbo together reduce damage by 25%
Hip-fire spread increased with the Sorokin barrel
Movement speed decreased with Akimbo by 5%
Movement speed with 80-round drum decreased by 5%
80-round drum reduces ADS speed by 7%
The nerf particularly targeted the deadly combination of Akimbo with the automatic barrel, and it remains to be seen if the weakening achieves its goal. Even without these attachments, the time-to-kill of a single Sykov is at the level of the popular assault rifle FFAR 1. Since you can carry the weapon without “Overkill”, it remains a strong option, and it is currently doubtful whether a submachine gun can surpass its strong values.
What do you need to know about sniper scopes? The mid-season update of Season 2 broke some scopes of the sniper rifles from Modern Warfare. Powerful long-range weapons like the Kar 98k, HDR, or SP-R 208 could suddenly be used without scope glint.
This was incredibly unfair, as this mechanic provides balance – the weapons allow kills at long range, but you can also see where the shooter is hiding. The problem seems to be fixed now. The patch notes state:
A bug was fixed where some sniper scopes and the variable zoom scope had no scope glint due to the error
What do you need to know about weapon perks? The developers do not specifically address which perks were repaired. We currently know of at least 3 extra attachments that should function as usual with the update:
Shortly before the new Season 3, which starts on Thursday, April 22, Warzone brings a few demanded changes. Especially the nerf of the Sykov pistol is likely to please many players – the weapon was indeed incredibly strong and has now received a nerf in record time.
Destiny 2 launches the Guardian Games 2021. The event brings back a rare Exotic and tempts you with a brand new masterpiece catalyst for “Revenant-Aspect”. We reveal how you can obtain the item and how powerful the Exotic MG will be.
What you are keen on: The event awaits with the strong Exotic Revenant-Aspect. The heavy machine gun in Cabal style is likely the main reason for most to participate actively.
If you didn’t give your all during the Guardian Games 2020, you had no chance of earning the Exotic for the entire year.
On MeinMMO, you and our reader Marek write: “I missed the Exotic MG last year; this year, I’ll definitely be there. Which class wins is completely irrelevant to me, I play all three chars equally badly.” (via MeinMMO)
What’s new: Additionally, Revenant-Aspect receives its Exotic masterpiece catalyst for the first time this year. Hence, the Exotic has arrived in its final form. MeinMMO reveals what you need to do for the catalyst and what advantages the upgrade brings.
What is an Exotic catalyst? Exotic weapons can unleash their full potential through so-called masterpiece catalysts. Each Exotic possesses an individual catalyst, short “Kat”, which grants the weapon tailored bonuses. So far, not all exotic weapons can become masterpieces – hence, Guardians rejoice every time a new catalyst comes into play. More information on this here: All Masterwork Catalysts in Destiny 2 and how to obtain them
Guardian Games 2021: Making Revenant-Aspect a Masterwork
What the catalyst can do: The Exotic Revenant-Aspect features a special shield that protects you when you unleash sustained fire on your enemies. Exactly this shield is enhanced by the catalyst.
The new perk “Legion’s Bulwark” – about “Wall of the Legion” – gives you these bonuses:
Increases the strength of the Arc shield. The shield becomes about 4 times stronger with the Kat.
Reloads the magazine by 100 rounds when the shield breaks.
With quick kills, you generate Orbs of Power that charge your Super or are important for the “Charged with Light” mechanic.
This further supports gameplay like stomping across the field like a wild shooting Cabal colossus. If your enemies manage to break your shield, you’ll be standing there with a loaded weapon and can retaliate.
Revenant-Aspect from 2 perspectives: The blue Arc shield and the weapon in first-person perspective are both the Cabal MG
Get the new event catalyst in Destiny 2
This is the source for the catalyst: If you turn in medals at the Tower during the Guardian Games, you have a chance at the catalyst. The chances seem to be quite high.
However, you must first possess Revenant-Aspect – without the appropriate Exotic, there’s no catalyst.
This is how you level the item: Once you have the catalyst, you need to level it up. This unlocks the potential of the Exotic. Here’s what you need to do:
Earn 50 points through medals. Higher-value medals yield more points.
Complete 3 “Contender Cards”. These cards are new for the Guardian Games. You can get them for 100 laurels from Eva in the Tower and need to complete random tasks in Strikes, Gambit, or PvP per card.
Collect 90 “Competitive Spirit” through kills with machine guns in the daily focus playlist (in the Tower). Precision kills give you faster progression.
Defeat 700 enemies with Revenant-Aspect.
Whether you really have to complete all the tasks mentioned above or if the missions count together is currently unknown. However, it is a fact that you should start unlocking and leveling the catalyst during the Guardian Games 2021. If there are new insights into the event, the Exotic, and the catalyst, we will keep you updated on MeinMMO.
Revenant-Aspect is the weapon of the Cabal colossi
Origin of the weapon: Did you know that Revenant-Aspect refers to the Cabal Empress Caiatl, with whom we only recently concluded a weapon retirement in the current Season 13? More about the turtle lady and the daughter of raid boss Calus can be found here:
Are you excited to finally add Revenant-Aspect to your collection? Do you think the Exotic will become significantly stronger with the new catalyst? Or are you really fighting for glory in the Guardian Games 2021 – let us know in the comments.

In some MMORPGs, there are not only monthly subscriptions but also additional cash shops where players can usually purchase cosmetic items. What do you think of such models?
This is what it’s about: To be able to finance themselves, MMORPGs have tried numerous payment models over the years. Currently, free-to-play MMORPGs are widely represented in the industry, but there are still a handful of games that charge a monthly subscription for their services.
Some of these games have a cash shop in addition to the subscription, where cosmetic items are usually offered. These include, for example, Final Fantasy XIV and World of Warcraft. In the cash shops of these games, there are entire series of exclusive items that are otherwise not available in-game, and sometimes they cost considerable amounts of money.
The most expensive mounts in WoW and FFXIV both cost about €30, which is more than double the normal monthly subscription. Accordingly, there is often criticism of this type of monetization of content. Is it too much? Does it not matter?
The two most expensive mounts from the cash shops of FFXIV and WoW
What do the supporters say?
Shops bring additional money into the coffers and ensure that the game can deliver even more content
The items in the shops are cosmetic and optional. No one is forced to buy them
Cash shops do not take content away from players that would otherwise end up in-game, but rather bring their own extra content
What do the opponents say?
You already pay for a subscription for the games and should therefore have access to all content
The cosmetic items in the shops are sometimes extremely expensive and cost far more than the monthly subscription
Shops would ensure that the better cosmetic items end up there and you only get bad stuff in the game
This is how you can vote: You can make your choice in the survey tool below. Keep in mind that you only have one vote and the voting cannot be undone:
So, how does it look? What is your opinion on cash shops in MMORPGs that require a monthly subscription to play? Is it too greedy or a completely legitimate way to earn more money? Or do you not care about real-money shops because you don’t use them?
Share your opinion in the comments and have fun voting!

Odin: Valhalla Rising
Setting: Viking | Developer: Lionheart Studio | Release Date: Q2 2021 in Korea, worldwide to follow | Model: Free2Play
What kind of game is this? Odin: Valhalla Rising places you in a world of Norse mythology. You will travel to places like Midgard, Nidavellir, and Alfheim, encountering well-known figures like Odin or Thor.
While there are no exact details about gameplay yet, the trailers already show that you can fight against giants and dragons and can fly on dragons or huge moths. Sailing seems possible too.
What makes it interesting? Besides the graphics and the setting of the game, the publisher is particularly interesting. Because Odin: Valhalla Rising is published by Kakao Games.
They have already promised a global release, with the MMORPG first appearing in Korea. When exactly the game will arrive to us is currently unclear.
Odin at best: With its graphics and the current “hype-setting” Viking, it at least has the potential to become interesting. Kakao Games is also a large publisher behind the game, which has already published several titles worldwide.
However, to make a concrete statement, more exact details about gameplay would need to be revealed. Because it is currently difficult to grasp based solely on the available videos.
The player character (left) and two giants with whom he speaks.
Odin at worst: Odin: Valhalla Rising could be a pure graphics blender. Because even though the game is supposed to be released this year, there are only a few details available.
Season 3 of Call of Duty: Warzone & Black Ops Cold War starts on Thursday, April 22. MeinMMO shows you what leaks, rumors, and facts are already circulating about the new season. We will regularly update this article with important new information until the start of Season 3.
What’s coming for Season 3? The first roadmap for Season 3 is online and shows a packed content pipeline for Cold War and Warzone.
After a rather disappointing Season 2, which delivered too few maps in Cold War and too little action in Warzone, many players are hoping for the new Season 3. The expectations are high, and the comprehensive roadmap, as well as some leaks, promise a lot for the next season. To give you an overview of what to expect in Season 3, MeinMMO has sifted through the information and presents everything in a summary.
All gameplay-relevant content of the new Season 3 is, as always, free for players of Call of Duty.
Update April 20: The first roadmap for Season 3 introduces the new season, and there is also new information about the update and the release. We have adjusted the article accordingly and have either completely revised the old text or added an update. The adjustments affect all sections of the article.

Call of Duty: Season 3 Info – Updates and Timetable
When does Season 3 start? The exact start time of the season is still somewhat unclear. The developers mention on the blog that the season starts on April 22, but they also say that Season 3 goes live after the updates. Warzone and Cold War will receive the season update at different times:
Cold War: Season update on April 21 at 6:00 AM
Warzone: Season update on April 22 at 6:00 AM
Whether the content will be available immediately after download or will only be unlocked on the morning of April 22 is not yet certain.
How large will the updates be? The developers have been clearer about this and have published the download sizes for all major platforms:
Cold War update size for Season 3
PlayStation 5: 12.3 GB
PlayStation 4: 8.1 GB
Xbox Series X / S: 11.6 GB
Xbox One: 8.3 GB
PC: 13.1 GB
Warzone update size for Season 3
PlayStation 5: 25.6 GB
PlayStation 4: 25.6 GB
Xbox Series X / Xbox Series S: 25.9 GB
Xbox One: 25.9 GB
PC: 25.2 GB
CoD Warzone & Cold War: Battle Pass in Season 3
What does the Battle Pass bring? There will be a Battle Pass with 100 tiers for 1,000 CoD Points again.
There is a free path in the Battle Pass that all players have access to. In exchange for points and playtime, you can unlock some items from the pass for free. If you already know that you will be playing more in CoD during Season 3, then the Premium Pass is worth it. It offers you more than 100 items to unlock throughout the season.
In total, you can progress for the pass in three CoDs: CoD MW, Cold War, and Warzone share the Battle Pass. However, the content is only for Warzone and Cold War.
Warzone & Cold War Battle Pass Season 3 with 100 tiers
Many operator skins with missions for even more skins
Calling cards / emblems / sprays / talismans
Vehicle items like battle cries or skins
XP tokens for a points boost
10% experience boost on the Battle Pass
The two new weapons are, by the way, always part of the Free Pass and can be unlocked by all players at no additional cost.
Who is the poster boy / poster girl of Season 3? Each season introduces a new operator that you unlock as soon as you purchase the Battle Pass.
This time it is likely to be “Wraith,” who is also featured on the roadmap. However, there will be a second operator at the start of the season, who could also serve as a showcase operator for the season: Captain Price enters the “Cold War” universe.
The Battle Pass pushes a ton of items into your inventory when you play a lot.
Content for Cold War & Warzone – Weapons for Season 3
What weapons will be featured in Season 3? In total, the CoD makers announced 6 new weapons that will come at the start or during the season:
SMG PPSh-41 – Battle Pass: Moderate damage meets high rate of fire and large magazines
Sniper Rifle Swiss K31 – Battle Pass: Aggressive sniper with high mobility and large magazines
Knife Ballistic Knife – Season Start: A knife that allows you to shoot the blade. Will come to Warzone later
Tactical Rifle CARV.2 – During the season: Burst-fire rifle similar to the M16, with more ammunition reserves
Pistol AMP63 – During the season: The small weapon fires automatically
If you want to get a look at the weapons, check out the English blog entry for Season 3 (via callofduty.com).
What about scorestreaks or equipment for Cold War? For multiplayer, the developers announced the “Strafe Run” – a precision airstrike.
The flamethrower apparently doesn’t make it into the game once again.
Cold War Multiplayer in Season 3 – 2 New Maps at Launch
What’s new for multiplayer? At the start of the season, 2 new maps for 6v6 matches will launch:
Yamantau – 6v6 map: Yamantau is a mountain in the Ural Mountains and was the setting for a campaign mission
Diesel – 6v6/2v2/3v3 map: A rather small map with a gas station at its center
Fans of classic maps from Black Ops will also be satisfied this season. “Standoff” from Black Ops 2 will be added during the season. Additionally, the Fireteam mode will grow with “Duga” – one of the possible settings from the end of the “Cold War” campaign.
Furthermore, the party mode “Sticks & Stones” will launch as well – another CoD classic. You will fight with very limited loadouts in a free-for-all mode. Possible items here include: crossbow, the new ballistic knife, and tomahawks as equipment.
As another mode, the developers introduced “Multi-Team Elimination.” This mode is expected to be released during the season and sounds somewhat like a battle royale in Cold War. 4-man teams compete with limited loadouts for victory, can collect equipment throughout the round, and the play area shrinks over time. There will also be a new vehicle in Multi-Team modes: the Cargo Truck, which is supposed to come right at the season release.
Cold War Zombies – Outbreak at the Center
Update Season 3 Roadmap: Before the roadmap release, many players expected the introduction of the zombie-typical Easter eggs in the Outbreak mode. However, there is currently no sign of that. A new zombie map is also not currently in the schedule.
This is what the roadmap shows:
Outbreak will receive the map “Duga” at season start
New vehicles in Outbreak: Cargo Truck and FAV (Buggy)
World events in Outbreak, through which you can also upgrade the T.O.T. machine
New missions in Outbreak
Toxic Growth – Field upgrade for zombies: Undead can be stopped and slowed down
Original announcement about zombie content: What can zombie players expect? Season 2 brought a completely new experience to the “Cold War” zombies with the Outbreak mode, and Season 3 also looks good for zombie players. Currently, it is expected that:
A new story component in Outbreak at season start
The next big zombie map in Berlin during the season
New wonder weapon with boss projectiles
Call of Duty has already announced that Outbreak will receive a significant Easter egg. In the zombie mode, Easter eggs include not only small gameplay elements but also major story components. So far, the Outbreak mode is an open world on large maps with hordes of zombies, but without an actual story goal. With the start of Season 3, that could change.
Additionally, it seems likely to many players that the third significant zombie map will be part of the game. The story of previous zombie adventures clearly indicates events in Berlin, where the next zombie map could take place. However, a release is expected only during the season and not at launch. A possible release is the last week of May during the mid-season update.
The zombie story also suggests a new wonder weapon that will likely come with the new zombie map in Berlin. In-game rewards have pointed to a weapon that is based on the projectiles of boss enemies. Possibly, you’ll fire like the weapons of the zombie bosses “Mangler” or “Sturm.”
With the new wonder weapon, you can likely shoot with boss projectiles.
Warzone in Season 3 – Verdansk Gets an Update
What happens in Warzone at the start of the season? With the roadmap, the developers have finally confirmed what many players and leakers have suspected for a long time: Something is happening on the big map Verdansk. However, the expectations need to be somewhat tempered. Instead of a completely new map, a “Warzone map update” is likely to take place.
A big leak showed excerpts from a faded Verdansk some weeks ago. The map might be set back in time to the “Cold War” and will receive a facelift. An “update” of the map suggests that certain areas will remain the same while others will be changed. Details are not yet officially known.
Additionally, an event will go online at the start of the season – Hunt for Adler. During the event, there will be challenges for both Cold War and Warzone, through which you can secure special cosmetics for both games. If you complete all tasks, there’s a special skin for Adler.
How the map changes will come into the game, whether the Adler event has anything to do with it, and what will happen with the zombies is still unclear.
Whether these entries are multiple dates for the same event, like the reveal of Cold War in Warzone, is currently unknown. Back then, you could experience the reveal of the first trailer for Cold War in the battle royale, and the event was online at different times over several days.
However, leaks regarding the Warzone event suggest that it may be a multi-part event. You might experience in the first phase the end of the zombie story of the current Verdansk, and the other events may already take place in the new version of the city. However, this cannot be said for sure at this time.
Original announcement: Warzone Season 3 Leaks & Rumors
What’s happening in Warzone? The data information for Warzone is diverse, and the leaks are extensive. But what is really happening is currently hard to predict. There are rumors and leaks about:
New map – Verdansk 2.0
Nuke event in two parts
Ural map might still be a topic
Helmets and new armor elements
New vehicles
Rebirth Island at night
The most important topic is a new map. Due to a substantial leak, there is a suspicion that the developers are working on Verdansk 2.0. A version of the city that is likely set 35 years in the past. The current Verdansk is supposed to be replaced by the “old” version, which bears similarities to the modern city but brings comprehensive innovations. This map is also expected to include old CoD maps, creating a completely new Verdansk.
If you firmly expect the new map for Season 3, you might have to brace yourself: According to some leakers, it currently seems more likely that the zombie plague in Verdansk will take center stage once again in Season 3. The first data miners are therefore expecting the new map only in Season 4.
The new map is expected to be introduced via an event, similar to the “Cold War” reveal in Warzone. Back then, there was a scripted game mode that gave players a few tasks and ultimately showed the first trailer for Cold War. The data currently indicates a two-part event – the first could be the nuke event, and the second takes place 15 minutes after the “end of Verdansk”.
Many players expect the end of Verdansk with a bang.
For a long time, speculations regarding a new Warzone map pointed towards the Ural Mountains. However, due to the significant leak of Verdansk 2.0 and data findings, that was put aside for a while. New data, however, have revived the idea of a Ural map – as a Blackout mode. Leakers suspect that a special game mode could come to Warzone, based on its spiritual predecessor, the Battle Royale Blackout from Black Ops 4. This would take place on the Ural map. However, clues regarding this are still rather vague and a release with Season 3 is unlikely.
Furthermore, data miners have found new equipment and vehicles in the data. Mention is made of armor helmets that protect against headshots and other armor types that protect various body parts. A vehicle similar to a “Reboot Van” from Fortnite has also been discovered. In this vehicle, players can be revived in modes where there is otherwise no respawn. Other discoveries include: a van, police vehicles, or a kind of beach buggy (Light FAV). The new vehicles may belong to the new Warzone map.
Lastly, we would like to report on a potential new game mode on Rebirth Island. The data suggest that the island will receive a night mode in Season 3 and the map will be darkened.
The roadmap for the new Season 3 appears extensive, and especially for Warzone, a lot is planned for the start. MeinMMO will keep you informed about the most exciting developments in a timely manner, and we will also keep this article up to date until the season begins.
The Twitch streamer and Fortnite professional Williams “Zayt” Aubin wants to quit Fortnite now. He is one of the best players, but he can’t even force himself to play anymore. However, he doesn’t want to completely distance himself from the game.
This is the situation: The Fortnite professional Zayt announced in a Twitch stream on January 17 that he will finally quit Fortnite. Since the stream was only accessible to his subscribers, he posted on Twitter about what his future plans are.
The pro plans to still watch all Fortnite tournaments during his streams and coach or explain the game to viewers. If no Fortnite tournaments are taking place, he wants to simply play Valorant.

Fortnite pro started again to be financially secure
This is how the pro felt about Fortnite recently: This is not the first time Zayt has wanted to quit Fortnite. On January 12, 2021, he already announced that he would stop participating in Fortnite tournaments. Back then, he wanted to just stream the tournaments and explain the game to his viewers, but on January 30, three weeks later, he returned.
If I hadn’t played Dreamhack with Benjy, I probably wouldn’t say this, but I miss participating in tournaments. The only reason I would stream Fortnite would be to have enough money for the rest of my life.
I am now at a point where I would regret not competing and wasting my talent for Fortnite. Now that this is said: Yes, I am coming back.
After his return, everything seemed fine for a while, and the Fortnite pro dedicated himself to his tournaments again. But 2 months later, Zayt announced a break from Fortnite. The Twitch streamer had now realized that he didn’t miss Fortnite tournaments as much as he thought he would.
On April 1, he announced: He wants to take a break from Fortnite for 2 weeks – during this time he would consider how to proceed in the future.
I will now focus on things I want to do and love and will not force myself to play a game I hate or stream anything I don’t want to stream.
This is how it goes for Zayt now: The pro probably could no longer force himself to play Fortnite, as he did not return from his break and now officially announced on April 17, 2021, his departure from the competitive scene.
But as the streamer explains, he will now be a kind of coach, explaining the game to his viewers during Fortnite tournaments.
Zayt is not the only one who is turning away from Fortnite and the competitive scene. The Fortnite professional Benjyfishy sees the future of e-sports in Fortnite quite critically. The declining prize money is likely a problem that plays a significant role.

In Call of Duty: Warzone, a skin has been causing quite a stir – the dark Roze skin from the previous Battle Pass of Season 5. However, this cosmetic is no longer available. MeinMMO shows you 5 skins that are similarly dark and nasty but are regularly available in the bundle shop.
What is it about? The operator “Roze” is one of the most popular characters in Call of Duty: Warzone. This is not due to her outstanding charisma or deep backstory. The soldier has rather a few stark skins that are considered pay-to-win. Especially the “Tower” skin – it has a small visual hitbox and is unreasonably dark, so players with the skin are hard to see in shady areas.
The developers have now announced a nerf for the dark Roze skins. The affected skins are almost completely black and often difficult to recognize. However, there are a few other operator skins that are similarly black and can give you an advantage in shady or dark places. You will find the cosmetics regularly in the real money shop, unlike the Roze skin which has not been available for months.
MeinMMO shows you the skins, how much they cost, and how to find out if you can buy the bundle for the skin.
5 Skins that provide a visual advantage in Warzone
Which skins have an advantage? We list here 5 skins with which you will be harder to recognize in the dark:
Standard skin of Nikto from the “Nikto Operator Bundle”
“Azrael” skin of Ghost from the “Grim Reaper” bundle
“Balkan Special ATU” – MilSim skin from the “Balkan Blue Lightning Unit” bundle
Standard skin of Velikan from the “Velikan Operator Bundle”
“Sinister” skin of Charlie from the “Covert Operations” bundle
Why do dark skins have an advantage? In dark or shady spots, dark skins are harder to recognize. If a player consciously goes into battle royale with a colorful and/or bright skin, they usually have disadvantages. Conversely, completely black skins have advantages – like the Roze skin. In dark areas, such skins become almost invisible, and players without a dark operator would be easier to spot in a similar situation.

How do I find the skins in the game? All bundles on the list also offer at least one weapon. When you select a firearm through your weapon selection menu, you can see a “Shop” icon next to the weapon on the right. There you can view all the weapon blueprints currently available for purchase.
Here in the list, we note one weapon with the name of the skin per bundle so you can quickly check if the purchasable bundle is currently available in the shop through the weapon selection. To do this, select the shop icon of the respective weapon and look for the weapon skin.
The standard skins of Nikto and Velikan can always be purchased through your operator menu. Go to the operator menu, select one of the two, and you will see the bundle displayed.
Note: All skins on the list are from operators from Modern Warfare. If you have access to the multiplayer of CoD MW, you will find all bundles at any time.

Every little advantage can lead to superiority in certain situations. When choosing your skins, you should be aware that dark skins can help in many situations. However, suitable camouflage colors or simply unobtrusive skins are also good for battle royale. Even though it’s hard with some cool cosmetics – in general, choose skins that stand out little from the environment.
