In Fortnite, players can purchase a new skin made from old map elements. The “Eco” outfit clearly shows how much the game has changed over the years.
This is what the skin looks like: The new Eco skin landed in Fortnite on April 22nd, catching attention with its unusual design. The character basically looks like a walking map: There are visible rivers, a sort of lava arm, a few little trees growing from the character’s elbow, and his right leg is frozen.
On his back, he carries a globe featuring an active volcano that puffs little clouds of ash into the air. It is said to erupt when opponents are eliminated. Fans of miniatures should delight in this skin. Additionally, a harvesting tool has also appeared in the shop: A well-known sword embedded in the skull of a nasty monster. The skin costs 1,500 V-Bucks in the store (approximately between €12-15).
All of this does not come without reason. Those who take a closer look at the colorful figure will recognize plenty of things – at least if they’ve been around for a few years.
The skin has a lot of references: The walking map Eco clearly shows how much the map has changed since its release in 2017. On Eco’s armor, you can see various locations from older versions of the Fortnite map, showcasing how the game looked before the locations of today’s prehistoric season variant.
Among other things, you can see on the skin:
It is a colorful mix of various seasons, all coming together in a single skin. Many of the locations on the skin have been replaced today – there is no longer a volcano, nor any ice landscape. Currently, there are The Spire, a walled jungle, or prehistoric villages in the center of the map in the game.
The skin is certainly for nostalgia fans. Many players should feel reminded of old maps and victories. This also applies to these 16 gliders that you only have if you have really played Fortnite from the beginning.

In Call of Duty: Warzone a new map is launching. A new trailer now shows scenes of the map where players can soon fight.
Update April 23: The new map is online. Here you will find 10 important changes from Verdansk ’84.
This is happening in Warzone: After the event “The Destruction of Verdansk – Part 1” started yesterday on April 21, and the map was destroyed in a nuclear explosion, players are waiting for the new map for the Battle Royale. Currently, you can only play on Rebirth Island before the final phase of the event starts today at 21:00. You can find all the info here in the MeinMMO live ticker for the Season 3 event in CoD Warzone.
However, a new trailer has already gone online that aims to hype the new season with loud rock music, many guest appearances, and plenty of explosions. An unfinished version of it was leaked some time ago. You can see the new version here:
This is shown in the trailer: The trailer is themed “Squad up the World” and announces that you should dive into “Verdansk 84” today. In the trailer, the guest appearances are clearly in the foreground, but you can also spot locations that are likely to find a place on the new map between the battles.
The following locations are visible:
Leakers show first snippets: Some players were able to venture onto a part of the new map with the help of private matches. Some snippets of the map have already been shared on YouTube, as seen here in the video by “Mayzomatic”:
In the gameplay video, the YouTuber was already able to move towards the stadium. In Downtown, buildings can be seen that are currently being rebuilt. How the complete map looks will likely be revealed soon – after all, the season event continues this evening.
With the new Season 3, a new update comes as well. Here you will find all information about the new update 1.36 and what weapon changes are included.

In Pokémon GO nothing has been seen from Team GO Rocket for a few days. A solution to the problem has now been found and the pesky Grunts and Bosses are back.
What is going on with Team Rocket? On April 10, the developers of Pokémon GO announced that they had to temporarily disable the members of Team GO Rocket in the game. This was due to issues related to encounters with the Grunts and Bosses. Since then, there has been virtually no news on the topic. However, it is now clear: The developers have found a solution to the problem and Team Rocket will soon be back in the game.
Update from April 23: Since April 23, 2021, Team Rocket is back in the game. You can meet Grunts, Bosses, and Giovanni again at Stops and in Balloons. Continuing with the original article.
What’s new? The developers of Pokémon GO have a website where they describe the status of current issues and bugs. A list of known errors. On April 22, you can find the entry: “Encounters with Team GO Rocket Grunts sometimes cause the game to freeze.”
The more detailed error description states that the game freezes and then becomes unresponsive. They circumvented the issue by removing Team GO Rocket from the game.
For unresolved issues, it is stated on the page that they are still investigating. The status of the Rocket issue is: “Will be fixed in an upcoming update.”
When are they coming back? No exact date has been set. Furthermore, Niantic does not clarify whether the upcoming update is the “next” one. However, what is clear is that the developers have already found the solution. It just needs to be processed in an update. The re-release of Team Rocket in Pokémon GO shouldn’t be far off.
This is the problem: For some players, it may not matter that they cannot battle the members of Team GO Rocket for a few days. But as soon as the requirements for Level 45 come into play, problems arise. You are required to defeat 100 Rocket Grunts, catch 100 Shadow Pokémon, and defeat 50 Team GO Rocket Bosses.
Those who have already gathered the required XP and completed all other tasks are now just waiting for the reactivation of Team GO Rocket. Trainers have already complained that they cannot level up in Pokémon GO right now.
What do you think about the current situation in Pokémon GO? Do you miss Team Rocket in Pokémon GO or do you not care that the Grunts and Bosses are currently absent? Let us know your opinion here on MeinMMO in the comments and talk to other trainers about it.

Sega, the company behind the new MMORPG Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis, announced a release window for the upcoming game during a livestream. PSO2: New Genesis will be globally released in June.
What kind of MMORPG is it? Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis is a sequel to the popular MMORPG PSO 2. Compared to its predecessor, the game is supposed to become more like an MMORPG.
The predecessor PSO 2 is already quite popular and runs even on low-end PCs – and completely free of charge. The successor New Genesis will be released for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
PSO 2: New Genesis offers a large Open World compared to its predecessor, where you can meet your fellow players, as well as revamped classes with new abilities. There will also be world events where you must collaborate with other players, tons of quests, and a large social hub.
MMORPG expert Alexander Leitsch predicts great success for PSO 2: New Genesis in 2021.
When can I play PSO 2: New Genesis? According to Sega, the release window for the new MMORPG is in June 2021, but no specific date has been announced yet. However, there will be a closed beta beforehand, which you can sign up for.
The beta will run from May 14 to May 16, and you can register now through the ‘Xbox Insider Hub’ app (via Xbox.com).
At the moment, 2021 looks quite sparse in terms of MMORPGs. Although a new Asian MMORPG Swords of Legends Online has been announced, it will not be released until summer, thus after PSO 2: New Genesis.
From Western studios, there is still hope for New World, which, however, after several delays, will now only be released in August 2021. A beta will at least start in July.
Until the release of Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis, MMORPG fans will have to be patient and make do with the games already on the market. However, there will be more options once everything arrives as promised. From June, the MMORPG year will finally pick up speed:
13 reasons why MMORPG fans can look forward to 2021

Opening vaults is a challenge in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 6. This challenge is for the missions of Week 6 and grants XP for your Battle Pass.
What kind of task is this? This challenge is one of the Week 6 missions in Fortnite Season 6. The name of the challenge may be confusing for those who are familiar with the armored vaults from the start of Chapter 2, but it refers to the small metal vaults full of gold bars that can be found in various locations on the island.
If you want to collect even more gold bars, we have a few tips for you, on how to collect bars faster.
Things to keep in mind: Vaults are items that have only a 50 percent spawn rate. In other words, the locations mentioned above, on the Season 6 map, will not always showcase a vault. With a bit of luck, you can quickly find three vaults to open, but it may require several attempts!
Make sure to open the vault and not break it to retrieve the bars. While the vault opening animation is indeed very long and most players prefer to destroy it to gather materials, breaking the vault does not count towards the challenge!
This is undoubtedly one of the most grueling challenges on this week’s list, as the limited number of vaults combined with the fact that they are tricky to open will bring dozens of opposing players to the locations.
Opening a vault is so slow that it’s often best to grab a weapon first, secure the area, and finally open the container without the risk of being interrupted. Also, be careful that the floor supporting the vault doesn’t break!

PvP plays an important role in the mobile game Diablo Immortal as it is part of the endgame and gives you access to a major raid. The developers have now presented this aspect of the game in more detail.
What is the focus in PvP? In the endgame of Diablo Immortal, it’s about earning the Crown of Eternity in the cycle of conflict. This offers you some benefits, such as participating in raids and accessing the Chamber of the Immortals. However, the road to this goal in PvP is long.
Diablo Immortal’s Lead Game Designer Wyatt Cheng introduces you to the PvP of the hack and slash in the video:
Here’s how to qualify for the endgame: To participate in the cycle of conflict, you first need to qualify. This happens through battlefields. In these battlefields, you fight in 8 versus 8 skirmishes. You register with the captain of the battlefield in Westmark, whom you can find at the lookout of the Immortals.
Now you must decide whether to be an attacker or defender or if you want the game to randomly assign you to a team. This will earn you more valuable rewards. As an attacker, you must escort Passionate Idols to destroy the Ancient Heart. The defenders must prevent this and eliminate both the Idols and the attackers.
Here’s how to fight for the Crown of Eternity: If you have fought your way to a place in the cycle of conflict through the battlefields, you will first join the adventurer faction. Now daily quests await you that you must complete. Once you have mastered enough of these tasks, you may switch to the Shadow faction and then participate in the fight for the crown.
As Shadows, you must initiate the Ritual of Banishment. However, who gets to do this will be decided among the Shadows. You gather in groups to form a so-called Dark House. Now it’s time to fulfill contracts that raise your standing and rank:
Once you have proven yourself, you will participate in an assembly. These assemblies take place every Wednesday and Saturday from 2:00 PM to 10:00 PM. Here, based on Akeba’s challenge, it will be decided which Dark House can participate in the fight for the Crown of Eternity. The goal is to defeat three powerful, ancient warriors.
Now the Ritual of Banishment takes place. Here you fight in PvP against the faction of the Immortals. If the Shadows are victorious, they take the place of the Immortals, and the leader sits on the throne and receives the Crown of Eternity.
How exactly this PvP fight plays out, the developers of Diablo Immortal will reveal at a later time.
What happens after the fight? The new Immortals can now complete special tasks to obtain the resource Essentia. With this, they “purchase” access to Kion’s Trial, a raid for 48 players that promises particularly valuable rewards and an important buff. Additionally, the Chamber of the Immortals must be protected from raids.
The cycle of conflict then starts over again when a Dark House of the Shadows can initiate a new Ritual of Banishment.
How does this affect the ongoing gameplay? As the leader of the Immortals, you receive Daedess’s blessing through the raid Kion’s Trial, along with loot. This is a strengthening effect for the Elder Rifts. Additionally, your Chamber of the Immortals will be filled.
This strengthening effect for the Elder Rifts is important for the ongoing gameplay. The portals, known in English as “Elder Rifts”, are repeatable, randomly generated instances. In these, you must kill enemies similar to the Nephalem Rifts from Diablo 3 to summon a boss.
During the runs through the Elder Rifts, you will find emblems. You use these to make the rifts harder. This way, you then receive runes. These runes, in turn, are necessary for crafting legendary gems. The gems provide you with important bonuses that enhance your character.
It is therefore essential to run through the Elder Rifts. With the strengthening effect that you receive as the leader of the Immortals, it becomes easier for you to obtain the runes and thus the important legendary gems. This means, if you want to level up quickly and become powerful, you essentially cannot avoid obtaining the strengthening effect in the PvP of Diablo Immortal.

Call of Duty: Warzone will receive a map update for the large map Verdansk at the start of Season 3 with a live event. MeinMMO shows you what happens next and what has already happened. As soon as the last phase of the event starts, you will also find a live ticker here.
Update April 23: The new map is live. Here you will find 10 important changes to Verdansk ’84.
The new Season 3 brings a map update for Verdansk, which changes the map in several places and aims to provide a fresh experience in Call of Duty: Warzone. Currently, an event is running in the transition to the new map, and Warzone is in a state of emergency. Tonight, “The Destruction of Verdansk – Part 2” starts, and here you will find all the important info about it:
Previous course in brief: On April 21 at 9 PM, the event mode “The Destruction of Verdansk – Part 1” went online. Dead players turned into zombies, and after about 10 minutes, the match ended. After that, a cutscene showed how Verdansk is hit by a nuclear bomb.
Since the end of the first phase, only modes on Rebirth Island are online, and players discovered puzzles and changes on the small Warzone map. A countdown is currently running down in the game that expires at 9 PM.
Update 10:05 PM: The event has expired, the mode is gone – the new map Verdansk ’84 is live. A new playlist is available, and the event “Hunt for Adler” is online. Server issues continue. You can check the current status here (via support.activision.com) – currently, only an investigation is underway for Cold War.
Update 9:35 PM: Unfortunately, Warzone is experiencing server issues again and long queues. Activision support has already addressed this on Twitter:
Update 9:30 PM: In the event mode, 40 people start and attempt to trigger the detonator for the nuclear bomb to attack Verdansk. After the round ends on Rebirth Island, another cutscene about the destruction of the city starts:
Immediately after the cutscene, another match starts – on the new version of the map.
Update 9:20 PM: There is a separate game mode. “The Destruction of Verdansk – Part 2” is now live and takes place on Rebirth Island. Additionally, Call of Duty released another trailer on Twitter for Verdansk ’84:
Update – 9:05 PM: Apparently, there is no separate event mode, but everything is taking place on Rebirth Island. A new blog post invites you to explore the island.
Update – 8:05 PM: Just under an hour until it starts.
If you want to be safe in the game at the start, you should log in a bit earlier to avoid server problems. Go to the lobby screen by 8:45 PM at the latest – yesterday, you could easily get in a quarter of an hour before the start.
Update – 5:05 PM: The trailer for the new Warzone map has now been released:
The 4th and final phase starts at 9 PM tonight (April 22) and runs until approximately 10 PM. A countdown in the game runs exactly at 9 PM.
Due to server issues, the first event mode “The Destruction of Verdansk – Part 1” was online for nearly an hour longer. If there are problems today again, an extension is possible.
The event runs for a total of 25 hours, and Warzone has no classic Battle Royale available during this time. You can only play on Rebirth Island at the moment:
However, there is something new to discover on the island. Some locations have been changed, and a large Easter egg shows first images of the new map. More about the Easter egg can be found with the English-speaking YouTuber “Geeky Pastimes,” who solved the complicated puzzle together with other players (via YouTube).
Meanwhile, the picture of the new map is becoming clearer. It has been revealed that selected content creators were able to take a look at the map, and the new Easter egg on Rebirth Island also shows images of the new Verdansk. Due to a glitch, players managed to sneak onto the new map through private matches:
The changes to the map are quite extensive. However, there are also some areas that have hardly changed.
Update April 22: We are now in the third event phase, which runs until 9 PM tonight. The third phase, however, brought no new modes – only a countdown that counts down the time until 9 PM and a new lobby screen. In addition, players found some puzzles on Rebirth Island.
In the meantime, the Season Update 1.36 for Warzone with many weapon changes was released. Additionally, the new Battle Pass for Season 3 has been unlocked.
Open the spoiler box if you want to know what happened in the event mode “The Destruction of Verdansk – Part 1”:
The mode starts like a normal Battle Royale, but when you go completely down, you turn into a zombie. More and more players become zombies, the circle closes, and the survivors must try to escape by helicopter at the end. However, there is no way out, and even players who reach the evacuation point cannot escape.
There are always warnings in between, and the zombie threat increases. At the very end, a cutscene shows how the lost Verdansk is destroyed by a nuke. As a conclusion to the event mode, you receive a calling card.
Watch the cutscene here:
Update – 12:50 AM: The event mode “The Destruction of Verdansk – Part 1” is no longer available.
Update – 11:30 PM: There was an update regarding the server issues at “support.activision.com“: “The incident is still open, and we are working to restore online services as quickly as possible.”
The modes on Rebirth Island show the message “15 minutes after the destruction of Verdansk” at the start of matches, and all play at night. Additionally, there have apparently been some changes to the map, including a new location:
Update – 11:05 PM: The first period of the event has expired, but the event mode “The Destruction of Verdansk – Part 1” is still online. If you haven’t been able to get into the game due to server issues, you can still play the mode.
However, more modes are now available again – all three on Rebirth Island. The next stage of the event kicks off tomorrow morning at 6 AM with the season start.
Update – 10:15 PM: The server issues with Warzone persist. You can check the current status here (via support.activision.com). There are also disruptions to the servers with Cold War (via Twitter). The issue is still under investigation.
Update – 9:30 PM: Many players are currently unable to access the Warzone servers. Activision has confirmed on Twitter that they are working on it:
Update – 9:05 PM: The event mode is live. You can now play “The Destruction of Verdansk – Part 1”. All other modes are disabled.
What is currently known? Through the first roadmap of Season 3, it is now clear that Call of Duty: Warzone will receive a map update for Verdansk with the new season, and the city is apparently set back to the 1980s. The first image of the new map was even seen ingame. However, details are difficult to discern:
Everything also indicates that the transition from the old to the new map is connected with a live event. Currently, the zombie story in Verdansk is at its peak and the battle against the undead plague has been hinted at for months with a nuclear device. Currently, large cruise missiles are even flying over the city, and a warning is asking players in every match to seek shelter from a potential attack.
Warzone also showed a doomsday date with the words “the end is near”. The date is today, April 21 at 9 PM. However, there are now even four dates that probably relate to the destruction of Verdansk:
The time information in the CoD tweet in German time:
If you want to be part of it, then log into Warzone tonight at 9 PM. But don’t start a game directly. If it goes like it did during the reveal of Cold War in Warzone, there will be a “list update” at 9 PM, and then the event mode will be available.
What is currently unknown? It is still unknown how it will proceed specifically. The fact that the dates run consecutively without a break suggests a multi-stage event. There have also been leaks from data miners pointing in that direction (via Twitter). It is said in the data: “Congratulations on completing ‘The Destruction of Verdansk Part 1!'”. There will likely be a cosmetic reward for participating.
Not only the course is still unclear, but also the content of the event. During the reveal of Cold War, a special game mode was run that sent you through a scripted adventure. There were short video inserts during the match, many in-game displays were obscured by a bar like in secret recordings, and at the end, players went towards the stadium. After completing the tasks, the match ended, and all participants saw the first trailer of Black Ops Cold War.
However, this scripted game mode was only online for a maximum of 2 hours at a time and also replaced the normal Battle Royale during this time. This time, the specified times are significantly longer, and the third date is even set for 15 hours. It is also possible that it is a mix of special game modes and scripted events:
It is still unknown how much the map actually changes. For a long time, players and leakers assumed that there would be a completely new map at the season start. However, since only a “map update” is mentioned, fewer and fewer people believe in a complete overhaul. A leaked commercial and initial data findings suggest significant changes to the locations:
However, it cannot be stated with certainty whether there will be more changes or if the map adjustments will be resolved in another way.
What about the “Hunt for Adler” event? According to the blog entry about Season 3 (via callofduty.com), it is a joint event for Warzone and Cold War, similar to the Outbreak event at the start of Season 2. In the story of Call of Duty, Adler was captured by the evil operator Stitch and taken to Verdansk in the “Cold War” era and held captive in the Gulag.
You can complete gameplay challenges in Warzone and Cold War during the event to earn special cosmetics. If you complete all tasks, you will receive an exclusive Adler skin. Data miners also believe they already know which skin that is:
Since the event is hosted together with Cold War and will probably run for over 2 weeks, it likely doesn’t directly relate to the destruction of Verdansk. It is more like the continuation of the story after the transition from the modern Verdansk to the new version of the Cold War.
Warzone is finally back in action and offers its players a new experience. Many Warzone players found Season 2 boring, as there were hardly any innovations in gameplay, and even the weapon meta remained stubbornly monotonous throughout the period.

Electronic Arts has announced a new Battlefield. This is a mobile game that aims to provide the complete Battlefield experience on the go.
What kind of game is it? The mobile game in the Battlefield series currently does not have an official name. It is a standalone project that will be released alongside the Battlefield that DICE is currently developing for PC and console. “Battlefield Mobile” is developed by the studio iToys, which created the mobile shooter Midnight Star.
According to Electronic Arts, with “Battlefield Mobile” you can expect a gaming experience that is referred to as “Battlefield-on-the-go”. This means that you essentially receive a full-fledged Battlefield experience that you can enjoy on your Android or iOS smartphone.
What exactly does the game have to offer? Much has not yet been revealed; the major reveal is still planned for an unspecified date. However, there are a few initial details:
Furthermore, it is said that this mobile game has nothing to do with Battlefield 6 or whatever the new shooter will be officially named. DICE is still working on the next installment in the series, which is expected to be released by the end of 2021.
What is the status of the game? According to EA, a testing phase will start after the title has been in prototype status for several years. Whether it will be an internal test or you will be able to participate is still unknown.
When will there be more information? There are still no details about when EA will reveal more about this “Battlefield Mobile”. However, there will definitely be more information before the release.
Additionally, nothing from the game has been shown yet. We have no idea what it looks like. This will certainly change in the coming months.
When is the release? “Battlefield Mobile” is expected to be released sometime in 2022 for Android and iOS smartphones and tablets. A specific date has not yet been mentioned.
Who is the game aimed at? With the new mobile shooter, Electronic Arts wants to target players who have already enjoyed the successful Call of Duty: Mobile and PUBG Mobile. Such games significantly contribute to a company’s financial success.
The TiMi Studios, developers of CoD Mobile, generated a revenue of 10 billion USD in 2020 with the shooter (via ScreenRant).
Therefore, it is only logical that Electronic Arts is now releasing a mobile shooter. The very well-known and successful brand Battlefield is indeed a good fit for this.
What do you think of a “Battlefield Mobile”? Would it be a game you would like to play on your smartphone on the go? Let us know in the comments.
Activision explains: These 3 things make Call of Duty Mobile so successful.

In Fortnite: Battle Royale you should visit Fancy View, Rainbow Rentals, and Lockie’s Lighthouse. This is part of the challenges for week 6 of Season 6 – Chapter 2. MeinMMO shows you all the locations so you can complete the task quickly.
What is this task? In the 6th week of Season 6, you should visit various locations on the Season 6 map. However, since these are unnamed locations, they are not easy to find. Therefore, we show you the exact locations so you can collect the XP reward.
Locations on the Fortnite map:
To ensure that you find the sought-after locations, we will introduce them to you in more detail here.
Where do you need to go? The location “Fancy View” is situated in the western part of the map. It is a house located on the edge of the map on a cliff.
As a reference, you can find the named location Sweaty Sands nearby. To visit the house “Fancy View”, it’s best to land at grid field A4.
Where do you need to go? You can find this location in the southwestern part, at the edge of the map. It is located southwest of Holly Hedges.
Land in grid field B6 and look for the colorful rainbow houses lined up together.
Where do you need to go? Lockie’s Lighthouse is located northwest of Stealthy Stronghold on a small island. The location is quite far on the edge of the map – you should not stay there too long as the storm moves in faster here.
To visit Lockie’s Lighthouse quickly, it’s best to land directly on the tower itself. The location is in grid field C1. If you still have time afterwards, you can stop by Stealthy Stronghold, as there is the new exotic grappler bow.
The locations are not exactly close to each other. So it might be that you need to complete the task in different matches if you don’t find a car to drive around the map.
However, once you have visited all 3 locations, the task counts as completed and you will receive experience points with which you can upgrade your Season 6 battle pass.

No game franchise represents loot in video games like Diablo. Two of the main designers of Diablo 1 and Diablo 2 now explain how they invented loot with color codes, sound effects, and the addictive effects we know today.
Who is speaking? It is “the fathers” of Diablo:
The two discuss in a podcast with Kotaku what makes loot in Diablo and in video games so special (via kotaku). The original Diablo was released in 1996 – many of the loot systems that were first seen so pronounced there were invented about 25 to 30 years ago by David Brevik and the Schaefer brothers.
The topic is also relevant today because Blizzard wants to bring back the magic of Diablo 2 with Diablo 2 Resurrected.
This is what loot looked like in Diablo 1: Brevik explains that it was decided early on in the design of Diablo to focus completely on loot:
Only after a while did they realize that they had actually built a one-armed bandit with Diablo: Every time you killed a monster, you pulled the lever and either nothing came out, or you got your stake back or actually a win. It was like a mini-jackpot, says Brevik. Every time a strong item dropped from the mob, it felt like you had hit the jackpot.
It was already addictive back then to kill monsters and pull the lever. That was exactly what they wanted to achieve with Diablo and they tried to amplify the effect by giving the player auditory and visual stimuli to enhance the feeling of “I just hit the jackpot.”
This is how Diablo invented “color-coding”: As Erich Schaefer explains, during that time they also invented the color code for items that still applies today. Schaefer says:
Quickly they then arrived at the idea: “Wait a minute, how about we introduce something stronger than blue loot? Maybe golden loot.”
Brevik adds: He believes they started with “blue items” back then because blue stood for mana and magic. Therefore, it made sense that magical items in Diablo had to be blue. Later, they would introduce more colors to mark different item types.
Eventually, they had a system where “green items were the set items,” magical items were blue, rare items were yellow, and golden items were the unique, especially cool items that are called “Uniques.” This was how it was even in Diablo 1.
In Diablo 2, they moved away from the idea and made colors a sign of quality: Blue items had one or two affixes, yellow items had three or four – this system from Diablo 2 (2000) was later adopted and further developed by the MMORPG WoW (2004). Ultimately, many games, such as Destiny (2014), adopted this system from WoW, which in turn was based on Diablo 2.
This is how Diablo made loot even more exciting: The more the team experimented with ideas like the color system, the more people enjoyed playing Diablo. The team realized they were on the right track.
They complemented the moment of the loot drop with sound: At first, rings were rare in Diablo. If a ring dropped, it should be marked by a special sound. This sound stood for “Something cool just dropped. I need to check this out.”
As a special twist, they introduced “Identity Scrolls” in Diablo: a system where it turned out later whether it was really a main prize or just a secondary prize. Players then knew that they had found an item of a certain type, but did not know exactly what it was.
This was like having to pull the lever on the one-armed bandit twice: once to get the item, and once to see what it was.
Brevik says he saw it as “a gift in a gift.”
Schaefer admits: This system did not catch on. Later games did not adopt it. But back then they were so convinced of the idea that they would have even introduced a “third pull on the machine” if they had known how.
Do the fathers feel guilty? In the podcast, the Diablo developers are asked if they feel bad. They themselves made the comparison of loot to slot machines.
Today, there are games in which people spend real money to get cooler loot or loot boxes.
But the developers explain: They have no guilty conscience. Erich Schaefer says he would never implement such systems in his games. Ultimately, any system can be twisted for good or evil.
He does not believe that “loot should never have been unleashed on the world.”
Brevik feels the same way: He wanted to create the “addictive feeling” of wanting to kill one more monster, get one more item. That was the goal. It was not about raking in as much money as possible.
However, this is clearly the intention of some people today. However, Brevik says this is only done because it works. If people did not buy these games that offer loot for money, they would not exist. That is sad. But these games would not exist if they were not so effective.
The developers of Diablo 1 and 2 view their former employer Blizzard critically now:
Original developers of Diablo say: Blizzard has completely changed

You should definitely check out the new weapons of Season 3 in Call of Duty: Cold War and Warzone. We will show you how to unlock the PPSh-41, Swiss K31 Sniper Rifle, and the Ballistic Knife.
What’s going on in Warzone and Cold War? On April 22, 2021 Season 3 started in CoD Warzone and Cold War. There are now some new content for you to discover in-game, including new weapons that you can unlock.
In this overview, we show you the new weapons PPSh-41, K31, and the Ballistic Knife. You can unlock both firearms through the new Battle Pass of Season 3. For the knife, you need to complete a challenge.
This is the weapon: The PPSh-41 submachine gun will be familiar to veterans from Call of Duty: WWII. Its damage per shot is rather average. However, the high rate of fire and large capacity make it quite powerful in close combat.
How to unlock it: You can unlock the PPSh in Season 3 through the Battle Pass. Just reach level 15 there. Once unlocked, you can use it in the multiplayer matches of Warzone and Cold War.
This is the weapon: You can unlock the K31 sniper rifle later in the Battle Pass. The bolt-action rifle has high accuracy and aims quickly. It also has room for a lot of ammunition. For quickscope players, the Swiss could become a really good friend in Season 3.
How to unlock it: You only need to reach level 31 in the Season 3 Battle Pass in CoD Cold War and Warzone.
This is the knife: The Ballistic Knife is the third weapon that you can unlock in Cold War. You can fire the blades of the knife and pick them up again, or use it for melee attacks directly.
However, in Warzone, the knife will only come later. The flashy weapon will be included in the Battle Royale in the mid-season update.
How to unlock it: To unlock the knife, you must earn a “One Hit, One Kill” medal and get a melee kill without dying in between. Do this in 15 different matches (via Dexerto.com).
How strong the three new weapons will ultimately be in Call of Duty will be revealed in the coming weeks.
Which of the new weapons do you like best and fits your playstyle? Let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange ideas with other players.

A player has made it their mission to find out how strong champions can become at maximum. With the LoL heroine Senna, he notices something amazing: She can even kill the Baron from the safety of her own base with exaggerated high stacks.
That is the idea. A reddit user plays some champions with scalable buffs to extremely high values in the practice tool of LoL. Because some champs in LoL have abilities that become stronger when certain conditions are met: For example, when they kill creeps or champs.
The user shows in his videos how strong these selected champs become after about 50 minutes of extreme farming.
In a normal LoL match, these buffs often only reach values in the range of 10-100 – but much higher values would be possible at maximum. On the LoL test server, you can see what monsters the “known, normal champs” turn into when they are fed this way.
The user has already conducted this experiment with Veigar, Cho’Gath, and Swain. Now it was Senna’s turn.
This scales with Senna: Senna joined LoL in November 2019, she has the passive buff “Absolution” – she collects souls from units that die near her. The more souls she has collected, the higher her attack damage, attack range, and critical strike chance become.
In the meantime, this has become a tactic in LoL: The “Fasting Senna” strategy focuses on collecting many souls and thus turning the match in her favor.
This looks extreme with Senna: With 5000 units of this buff, Senna deals enormous damage and achieves an enormous range. In the demonstration, the reddit user shows what Senna can do now:
In the end, he also demonstrates that Senna is practically unkillable at this level; she heals faster on a dummy than the enemy base can kill her.
How intense the little inconspicuous Veigar becomes with so many stacks, you can see in this post from MeinMMO:
LoL: Player collects 25,000 Stacks on Veigar, kills the Baron with one shot

Actually, Valheim is intended as a coop game for up to 10 players. However, a group of modders has set out to increase this number. Over 1000 players at the same time should be possible. The project sounds promising, as the creators apparently have experience.
What kind of project is this? Under the name VaLNGOS (short for: “Valheim Large Network Game Object Server Suite”), a huge Valheim server is currently being built for more players than ever before possible. With VaLNGOS, more players should be able to play together at the same time than has been the case so far.
The creators, a group of modders, are already running their own server called “Comfy Valheim,” where up to 64 players can play together at the same time. Normally, your own Valheim servers only have a capacity of ten players.
The creators now aim to accommodate over 1000 players simultaneously. Valheim would thus become a real MMO – and the world would surely be large enough so that no one gets in each other’s way.
A “Vanilla” server is planned, meaning a server without mods and with settings as intended by the developers. Just with significantly more players. This is supposed to work with a special code that redirects processes from the players’ computers to a server.
Who is developing the “Valheim MMO”? Behind the project is a team that includes some of the developers who were already responsible for the WoW Classic servers Nostalrius and Elysium (via PCGamesN).
Nostalrius was a huge success and was only shut down with the launch of the official WoW Classic. Apparently, the modders already have experience with large, server-based MMOs. How this will work for Valheim remains to be seen.
You can find more information about Comfy Valheim and VaLNGOS on the developers’ channels and websites:
VaLNGOS is intended as a Vanilla server, but it could possibly be adapted with some mods for a better multiplayer feeling. There are already mods that turn Valheim into a real role-playing game.
If you combine this with a 1000-player server, you would directly have a new Viking MMORPG at hand. Whether that will all work out, however, is still in the stars. First, VaLNGOS needs to launch and run smoothly.
Meanwhile, things are going quite well for Valheim itself. The initial hype has faded, but the developers are working hard on new content. Just in April, Patch 0.150.3, which was supposed to make building cheaper, actually had the opposite effect.
The developers also already have plans for the future, including for new biomes, bosses, and content. Next up is the “Hearth and Home” update with new recipes and building pieces.
You can already explore the biomes in the game, but at least in the mistlands you will surely feel uncomfortable.

In Pokémon GO the Friendship Day starts this weekend. Niantic made two important changes to it. You will earn more XP for completing the research, and a Global Challenge is canceled.
What kind of event is this? The Friendship Day in Pokémon GO is an event that will repeat with various bonuses. The first Friendship Day takes place on Saturday, April 24, from 11 AM to 2 PM. During this time, you will encounter Grass-type Pokémon more frequently in the wild. There will also be a Collector Challenge.
Originally, the Collector Challenge was supposed to reward you with 100,000 XP. However, Niantic significantly adjusted the event before it started.
What was planned: Initially, a Global Challenge was supposed to start right at the beginning of Friendship Day, changing every hour. A successful completion was planned to yield 20,000 XP each time. In total, there would have been a chance to earn 60,000 additional XP (once from 11 AM to 12 PM, then from 12 PM to 1 PM, then from 1 PM to 2 PM, each time 20,000 XP). Additionally, the 100,000 XP for completing the Collector Challenge.
What’s new now: The Global Challenge is canceled, and with that, the potential 60,000 XP are gone. Instead, completing the Collector Challenge now grants you a hefty 175,000 XP.
These problems occurred: Recently, there were issues with Lucky Eggs and experience points. Niantic warned players against using Lucky Eggs. This caused some problems in conjunction with Friendship Level-ups, which deprived players of their experience points.
That you now distribute more XP for trainers completing the Collector Challenge is likely to please some players. Additionally, you should know that Lucky Eggs double the experience points from all sources. If you use it before completing the Collector Challenge, you will earn a whopping 350,000 XP instead of the originally planned 200,000 XP.
Moreover, there were problems during the last Global Challenge. Some times were displayed incorrectly (via reddit.com). The exact reasons why the challenge was canceled are not known. Perhaps Niantic wants to iron out the errors first and not risk offering you a buggy challenge.
This helps you: Timing the use of the Lucky Eggs can now be better planned with the cancellation of the Global Challenge. Moreover, the entire XP yield for you has increased. Those who properly exploit the event can secure a lot of experience points and Lucky Pokémon on Saturday.

Season 3 of Call of Duty: Warzone is live and kicks off the new content cycle with a major update 1.36. The patch nerfs the key weapons, changes some attachments, and unlocks content for the new season. MeinMMO shows you the patch notes with the most important changes in English.
What’s happening in Warzone? Season 3 is live and brings a significant amount of changes and new features with update 1.36. A changed Verdansk map was introduced through a live event, and besides the changed map, there were several new features:
Particularly, the adjustments to weapons are likely to be closely monitored by many players. Season 2 was characterized by burst-fire tactical rifles at range and the FFAR 1 in close combat. The key weapons have been significantly nerfed, and there have also been a few buffs. Here you can go directly to the weapon adjustments.
With the new update comes the usual season routine since the launch of Black Ops Cold War:
You can once again unlock 100 tiers in the Battle Pass and you have just under 1,200 season levels to climb. There are new prestige emblems and challenges that will grant you additional rewards.
In addition, there were adjustments to gameplay, a few important bug fixes, and a new feature for PC players with Nvidia graphics cards:
Gameplay – The loot system in Verdansk has been overhauled and now exclusively offers “Cold War” weapons as loot from crates or ground loot. Additionally, only legendary weapons now come with an attachment blueprint. It appears that you can only find legendary (orange) or common (white) weapons in Verdansk – so either completely without attachments or with all 5 slots filled.
Players with a riot shield no longer take damage when deflecting a thermite grenade with the shield. Additionally, enemies will now always go down when you stick a semtex grenade to them.
Roze Skin – The skin is very dark and often hard to see. The developers are adjusting its visibility and stated in the patch notes: “We have adjusted Roze to improve visibility when light sources are available”.
Bug Fixes – Errors, bugs, and glitches have been a problem in the Battle Royale over the past weeks and months. With the current patch, at least some of them disappear from the game:
Nvidia DLSS – Players with a newer Nvidia graphics card can enjoy the DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) feature for Warzone. This is an upscaling technology developed by Nvidia to upscale textures while saving performance. Especially graphics cards like the GeForce RTX 3060 benefit greatly from DLSS.
In resolutions beyond Full HD like WQHD, enabling DLSS can boost performance by 30 to 40%.
Overall, Warzone directly adjusts 11 weapons and brings further adjustments through modified attachments into the game. Here are the balance changes in detail:
FFAR 1 – Nerf
AUG from Cold War – Nerf
M16 – Nerf
AK-47 from Cold War – Buff
FARA 83 – Buff & Nerf
Groza – Nerf
Krig 6 – Buff
QBZ-83 – Buff
LC-10 – Buff
Mac-10 – Nerf
Pellington 703 – Buff & Nerf
How the balance adjustments will impact the gameplay remains to be seen in the coming days. At first glance, the changes to the M16 do not seem sufficient.
However, the developers have also made adjustments to the attachments, particularly recalibrating the strong tactical rifles from Season 2, as well as the Sykov pistol.
M16 Attachments
AUG Attachments
Sykov Attachments
Laser Attachments
Magazines
Sights
As a small bonus, there is a brand new value for muzzle attachments: Position concealment. The SOCOM Eliminator or the muzzle brake 5.56 now possess this value. This way, you remain less visible on the mini-map or compass after firing.
In the end, the developers explain their strategy on how they plan to proceed after these extensive changes: “Given the scale of the balance changes in this patch, we may make additional adjustments shortly after the launch of Season 3 to ensure that the meta remains healthy and stable. Please give us your feedback as always!”
In some other adjustments, the developers also commented on their motivation. Check out the complete patch notes in English if you want to know more about it (via ravensoftware.com).
After the start of the new season 3 in Warzone, many players are looking at the ongoing live event and waiting for the map update of Verdansk. At least with the weapons, the developers have delivered and made some interesting adjustments to the meta weapons of Season 2. We will keep an eye on MeinMMO and update our list with the best weapons of Warzone as soon as conclusions can be drawn.
What is your impression of the patch notes for 1.36? And what do you think which weapons we will use in Season 3 in Warzone? Discuss with us in the comments.

The new MMORPG Swords of Legends Online will be released in Summer 2021 in the West. It is planned as a Buy2Play game with an in-game shop. But what does this shop contain and will it be Pay2Win? The publisher Gameforge has now commented on this in a livestream.
What is in the SOLO shop? The MMORPG is supposed to have a shop that only offers cosmetic content. This includes:
All skins that you unlock will automatically be activated for the entire account. However, there are certain outfits that only male or only female characters can wear. For weapons, on the other hand, the skins are unlocked for all types of weapons.
Will there be an optional subscription? No, there is only the shop and the cosmetic items.
What about convenience items? Most MMORPGs offer convenience items like XP buffs, level boosts, and additional inventory or character slots. All of this is not available in the Swords of Legends shop.
However, there are items that allow you to change your name or gender.
Interestingly, we will have 6 classes at launch but only 5 character slots. So you cannot play all classes at once, even if you wanted to spend money for it.
Can I sell items for in-game currency? No. Selling shop items is used in some MMORPGs to enable “indirect Pay2Win” and thus to acquire in-game currency for real money.
In Swords of Legends Online, the purchased shop items are directly bound to you. However, there is a gifting feature that allows you to buy skins directly for your friends or guild members.
How much does the shop cost? It was revealed in the stream that for 25 Euros you get a total of 4,250 Crimson Coins. This is the currency in the shop:
How much does the MMORPG itself cost? Those who want to play Swords of Legends must purchase access to the game. This costs between 40 and 100 Euros depending on the package. Details about the pre-order packages and the release of Swords of Legends can be found here: The beautiful MMORPG Swords of Legends will be released on Steam in 2021.
Anyone who wants to know how Swords of Legends plays in Taiwan can find a preview report here:
What is special about the shop? For every Crimson Coin spent, you earn a “Loyalti” point. It doesn’t matter whether you purchase something for yourself or for others.
Loyalti points can be used in another shop to unlock more skins, although this shop seems to have a smaller selection than the one for Crimson Coins. Items there cost between 2,950 and 20,000 Loyalti points. So you can essentially shop twice with your Crimson Coins.
What is the Crystal Shop? This third shop allows you to buy cosmetic content as well. However, you can earn the currency for it in the game through daily quests, events, and other activities.
However, the selection in the Crystal Shop seems to be smaller than in the Crimson Shop.
Is there a Battle Pass in Swords of Legends? Yes, in both a free and a paid version:
However, the Battle Pass is not supposed to be available at the game’s launch. Accordingly, only the Chinese version was shown in the stream:
Why is the shop such an important topic? MMORPGs are developed as a game that is to be supported and updated over the years.
However, these costs need to be covered, which is why games rely on either a subscription model like WoW, a shop like in Guild Wars 2, or an optional subscription model like ESO+.
Especially the German publisher Gameforge has not had the best reputation in terms of shops so far. However, the contents listed here are more than fair. If they are maintained, the shop of Swords of Legends Online will be one of the fairest in the genre, also because it does not rely on convenience items like inventory expansions or XP boosts.
What do you think about the shop of Swords of Legends? Are you now a bit more reassured and interested? Or are you ignoring this MMORPG?
In the livestream, Gameforge also talked about plans for Alpha and Beta. We have summarized everything important here: New MMORPG hope Swords of Legends reveals start of Alpha and Beta.

The Twitch streamer, Marcel “MontanaBlack” Eris, is considering leaving Germany and relocating to Malta. He believes he pays too much tax in Germany, and “Father State” is now bothering him with new streaming regulations.
That’s why MontanaBlack is thinking about escaping from Germany: The biggest Twitch streamer in Germany is currently considering leaving Germany and emigrating to Malta. There seem to be mainly 3 reasons that he is contemplating emigration:
These are the financial reasons: In a Twitch stream, the 33-year-old explains that he received an offer from a casino years ago to emigrate to Malta. Back then, he decided against it because he did not feel ready to go abroad.
MontanaBlack said:
I received offers to go abroad 2 years ago. Pay less tax, do casino streams, and so on. […] I would have even become a partner in a casino. It would have been only 2 or 3 percent, but had I accepted those percentages back then, it would now be about 20 or 30 million euros, as far as I know; I would have to check again. And that’s not a lie, that’s absolute real talk.
MontanaBlack
The financial benefits of moving to Malta are clear for MontanaBlack. He explains this in a calculation example:
“I earn a million euros a year, and in the end, I give away 100 and have 400,000 € more in my account.”
That’s just “crazy, my great-grandfather, dude.”
Does he really earn a million euros a year? MontanaBlack only takes that number as an example. His actual income is likely higher: After all, MontanaBlack is not only one of the most successful Twitch streamers in Germany, but also excellent at self-marketing.
His merchandise with the slogan “Get on my level” apparently sells well, and he has already published two books that made it onto bestseller lists.
What makes the decision even more attractive now? The financial aspect that MontanaBlack extensively illuminates is not decisive for him, says the Twitch streamer later. Because money does not make you happy in the long run.
But now he is quite annoyed by the new rules for streamers. It seems that MontanaBlack is bothered by the fact that he can no longer do casino streams.
In Malta, he could bring casino content. There is always something there, it’s varied, explains MontanaBlack, whereas in the gaming market, he is too dependent on the release situation. And in gaming, there hasn’t been anything to play on his console for a year and a half.
Moreover, he admits that casino streams would also bring him more money. Although he emphasizes again that this is not important to him.
Above all, the rules about the broadcasting license seem to preoccupy MontanaBlack now. He says:
That is now the biggest reason why he is once again considering the idea of emigrating. Previously, the idea had actually gone away; he built a house, settled down, and felt comfortable, but now “Father State” leaves him no choice.
MontanaBlack now feels that he has built something big over 8 years, but now “Father State” is putting such huge obstacles in his way with the broadcasting license that it is making him depressed. He now has problems getting out of bed in the morning because the topic burdens him so much.
MontanaBlack says: He won’t put up with all this anymore. He has to escape; he has no other choice.
What’s up with the broadcasting license? A new law stipulates that livestreamers on Twitch and YouTube are subject to the same rules as for television. However, channels that reach an average of fewer than 20,000 simultaneous viewers are exempt from these rules.
MontanaBlack is one of the few German streamers who reaches more than 20,000 viewers and falls under this new rule.
MontanaBlack has apparently tried to dilute his program on Twitch through repeated streams and bring his average viewer count below the 20,000 mark in order to avoid the need for a broadcasting license.
But that didn’t work: His popularity becomes his downfall, as he puts it.
Whether MontanaBlack will actually emigrate to Malta is still unclear at the moment. However, the topic is clearly on his mind.
He recently pointed out another advantage: In his hometown Buxtehude, it was 5 degrees on Wednesday night, while Malta lured with lovely 21 degrees. He’d rather be there, he says.
MontanaBlack raves in his Twitch stream about Malta, praises the weather and the good internet there. He says that from there he would produce less gaming content and more “IRL” content, meaning streaming from real life.
The last time he streamed “IRL” content from Malta, it didn’t go so well. He faced a 30-day ban on Twitch:
MontanaBlack makes Neanderthal calls against women – Would find Twitch ban okay

In Destiny 2, you can find the “Daily Focus” in 2 ways. There is a good reason why players are confused about this in the Guardian Games and cannot upgrade their event-exotic.
In Destiny 2, the Guardian Games 2021 are taking place for the next few weeks, and you should prove yourself in the event, among other things, in the “Daily Focus Playlist” and the “Daily Focus”. Both refer to the same thing, but it is not as easy to find as it initially seems.
Some players are really upset because they spent a lot of time in the wrong modes. We will show you the benefits you have with the Daily Focus Playlist in the Guardian Games and why this is so confusing. Of course, after this article, you will also know how to find the Daily Focus in seconds.
This is what the Daily Focus brings:
This is why it is confusing: In the Guardian Games, you also have access to a special playlist: “Guardian Game Strikes”, which you start in the Tower. Many assume that this is also the Daily Focus Playlist. After all, this mode was created specifically for the ongoing event. However, here you are “only” matched with guardians of your class – theoretically, the Daily Focus could take place here.
Additionally, it adds to the confusion that in Destiny, Focus usually refers to the subclass element. Each week, for example, there is top loot if you equip an Arc, Solar, or Void class according to the strike modifier (appropriate focus). It is understandable to wonder what the “Daily Focus” and “Daily Focus Playlist” in the Guardian Games refers to suddenly.
You have 2 options in the game to find out which playlist is active today.
Search in Orbit: When choosing planets in orbit, you will find the Guardian Games symbol – a flower with 3 circles. Select it from the left corner, and under “Daily Focus,” you will see which mode brings extra glory today and where you can level up the new catalyst. You will also find the symbol in orbit next to the milestone indicator.
This is what the Medal Box says: In the quest menu, you will find the new item “Medal Box”. All your medals and glory go into the box – it also shows the “Daily Focus”.
By the way, you should regularly check the Medal Box in the Guardian Games, because if you collect more glory or medals than you have free spaces, your efforts are almost in vain. So if the box is full, hurry to the Tower and turn in your achievements. This will help your class win in the competition.
When does the playlist change? Every day at the Daily Reset, the Daily Focus changes. Throughout the Guardian Games, this is at 7:00 PM. If there was a playlist that was not beneficial for you throughout the day, you can then check in the orbit or Medal Box after the reset to see if you are lucky this time.
This playlist is the best: If you want to level up your catalyst quickly to the max, you should venture into Strikes.
Today, on April 22, the Crucible is the Daily Focus. This is rather unfortunate, as there is very little Power Ammo here and Guardians are not as easy to kill as PvE enemies. Gambit is not really recommended either, as the enemies here can take a lot of damage and you harm your team significantly if you take the Power Ammo before the invader.
In Strikes, you can complete all necessary kills in one go with the right modifier and suitable mods, like Machine Gun Scavenger and Reserves. So if you want to keep your nerves, check at every reset which mode is up and hope for Strikes.
Have you also wondered what exactly the Daily Focus or Daily Focus Playlist is? We hope we could help you in this case. If you have any other questions, let us know in the comments – also tell us what you think of the Guardian Games 2021 in general.

In Call of Duty: Cold War and CoD Warzone Season 3 with the new Battle Pass has launched. We show you the most exciting tiers and rewards.
This is happening now in Call of Duty: On April 22nd, Season 3 started in Cold War and Warzone. Accordingly, there is also a new Battle Pass, which is partly even free.
You can find the most important information about Season 3 here:
What do you get with the Battle Pass? There are a total of 100 tiers in the Season 3 Battle Pass. You can unlock various cosmetic items, such as new skins or blueprints.
There are also new weapons and gameplay-relevant content available for every player, regardless of whether they purchased the Battle Pass or not.
How much does the Battle Pass cost? You pay 1100 CoD Points (approximately 10 Euros). Otherwise, you can also buy the Battle Pass plus 20 tier-ups for 2400 CoD Points.
What exactly is included in the Battle Pass can be seen in the YouTube video from Whoisimmortal:
What’s available right at the start: Those who purchase the Battle Pass will receive some nice cosmetics right from the start. These include:
These weapons are available: In total, you will unlock 2 new weapons through the Battle Pass. They are free for everyone – no purchase of the Battle Pass is necessary.
At tier 15, you will receive the first weapon: PPSH-41. This is an SMG with relatively low damage per shot. However, it excels with its rapid-fire and high capacity. This allows it to fire many shots quickly, making it particularly useful in close combat situations.
The second new weapon is the Swiss K31. You unlock it at tier 31 in the Battle Pass. This is a sniper that has very high accuracy and can reload very quickly. Additionally, it has a high ammunition capacity.
These are more highlights: To keep you informed about the content of the Battle Pass, here are some highlights:
What’s available at tier 100: For the final tier, there is the White Queen skin for the new operator Wraith. Additionally, there is the Roman Standard skin for the sniper and the “Fortress” skin for vehicles. There is also an emblem for Season 3.
Is the Battle Pass worth it? If you are already playing a lot of Cold War or Warzone, then you can’t go wrong with the Battle Pass. If you reach tier 100, you get enough CoD Points to buy the next pass. You won’t have to spend any more money.
Otherwise, keep in mind that you don’t gain any gameplay advantages from the paid Battle Pass. The new weapons are also available without purchasing the paid Battle Pass. So be aware that you are only spending money on cosmetic items.
