With the Plunder mode, Call of Duty: Warzone offers a mode that focuses on hunting cash instead of constantly gathering kills. This can be really nice, but especially the end of the match is a real nightmare.
What is Plunder? In Call of Duty: Warzone, you currently have basically 3 different options to approach the game:
The special feature of the Plunder mode: At the end of a match, there are often still dozens of soldiers in the game. Because unlike in the BR modes, there is a respawn that brings you back to the map after a death. This brings action, but it also has unpleasant consequences when the match is over.
Voice chat in Plunder mode is the chat hell on earth
Why is the end a nightmare? After the rankings are announced, you get to see your point distribution and during this time Warzone throws you into a large voice chat with all players in the match.
What sounds logical and pretty cool at first is absolute chaos in practice. Many have something to say or want to be heard no matter what. It’s often an incomprehensible mix of frustration, insults, and random noises. This can become a problem especially for streamers, but it’s also annoying without a live broadcast.
The following English YouTube video shows a good example of this chat hell:

Additionally, it takes a while for the game to bring you back to your lobby. If you want to finish the match normally and play with the in-game chat, you have to endure this auditory annoyance until the very end – almost until your ears bleed.
Plunder is a strong mode for leveling weapons and improving
What makes Plunder good? Aside from the nasty chat at the end of a round, the Plunder mode is a good change from the regular Battle Royale. You can take it much more relaxed here, level your weapons, get to know the large Warzone map, and hone your skills.
The thrill of Battle Royale is somewhat lost in the Plunder mode, but it still offers exciting battles with enemies who fall back into your area from the sky shortly after a death.
The game mode itself can also be quite interesting when you engage with it. You are always on the move with your own loadout and grab as many missions, loot boxes, and kills as possible to be the first to reach one million dollars.
In Pokémon GO the Spotlight Hour with Traumato starts today, on March 9, 2021. We will show you the bonuses and the Shiny.
What kind of event is this? Every Tuesday evening, the Spotlight Hour takes place in Pokémon GO. However, the Pokémon in the spotlight changes every week. The bonuses that are active during the event rotate week by week. During the event hour, nearly all spawns in the wild are limited to the event Pokémon.
Today, on March 9, the Pokémon Traumato is in the spotlight. Here on MeinMMO, we will show you the most important information you need about the event.
Spotlight with Traumato – All Information
When does it start? As usual, the Spotlight Hour starts today at 6:00 PM. The event will be active for one hour and is expected to end around 7:00 PM.
These bonuses are active: During the event, you will find Traumato from Pokémon GO in nearly every wild location. A good chance if you still need Pokémon or Shinys for your collection.
In addition, you will receive double experience points for evolving Pokémon. So if you have saved up a few Pokémon for evolving and still need XP for level-ups, you can benefit from this as well.
Is there a Shiny Traumato? Yes. You can collect Traumato and its evolution Hypno in their shiny form since 2018, with luck. They returned to the game with the Psycho Event in October 2018.
Here you see the normal and Shiny versions of Traumato and Hypno
How good are Traumato and Hypno?
Why you should use the event: Especially if you are missing Shinys in your collection, the Spotlight Hour today is suitable for you.
Traumato is not a special attacker or defender in Pokémon GO. Its evolution Hypno plays a role in the PvP league, more specifically in the Great League. Hypno performs really strong there with a moveset of Confusion and Ice Punch or Focus Blast. It reaches the second highest tier in the Great League ranking (via Gamepress.gg).
Unfortunately, Hypno is not really suitable for raids and other PvP leagues. So if you are looking for a strong fighter for the Great League, you should participate in the Spotlight Hour today.
Are you participating in the Spotlight Hour today or are you skipping the event this time? Let us know your reasoning here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange ideas with other trainers.

In the latest update for the demo of Outriders, the drop mechanics for legendary weapons have been revised. MeinMMO shows you 5 spots where you can now farm legendary weapons.
What has changed? At the start of the demo, you could mainly obtain legendary weapons through loot boxes. So far, in the campaign mission area, you could simply open several loot boxes without defeating a single enemy.
Players could run this path as many times as they wanted, allowing them to access the coveted legendary weapons without any fighting. This has been removed with the patch. Although the boxes can still be opened, they no longer spit out legendary loot.
However, there are other methods to find these coveted guns. With the update, the rewards for completing side missions again have been revised. In addition, new sources for legendary loot have been added.
Even in the demo, legendary weapons are highly sought after.
1. Mission: “Revenge”
This is how you can farm there: The side mission throws some enemies like snipers or armored foes in your path. Since the update, these enemies also have a slight chance of dropping legendary weapons.
You have two options:
You can play only the first part of the mission and take out the snipers and armored enemies.
Let yourself be killed and start over.
Or you can play the mission completely through to the boss.
The latter can also be worth it, as since the patch, you earn an extra reward for repeating side missions, which could also be a legendary weapon in the best case.
The reward automatically lands in your inventory after speaking with the quest giver. So check after completion to see what you received.
This is the starting point of the side mission.
2. Campaign Mission: “Reunion” without Boss
This is how you can farm there: In this mission, you face the first major boss of the campaign and must fight your way to the solar tower. However, you can also farm legendary loot there without the boss.
Run through until you reach the area in front of the solar tower.
On the way up, many enemies will confront you. Collect around 20 of them and let them chase you; then you just need to knock them out one by one.
This works best with the Trickster or the Devastator, who can easily wipe out enemy hordes with their abilities. You can find out what the classes in Outriders can do here: Everything we know so far about the 4 character classes
It’s best to leave one enemy alive so they can kill you and you can repeat the whole thing from a checkpoint.
This area around the solar collectors should be farmed.
3. Campaign Mission: “Reunion” – Mini Boss
This is how you can farm there: In the same mission, there is a mini boss at the decaying outpost, the Captain of the Vanguard.
To reach him, you must keep walking from the intersection to the next area.
There you will encounter enemies. Once you have defeated them, your next step is to go through a door.
There the mini boss awaits you. Kill him and let yourself be killed again.
Then you repeat the whole process. At the door, there is a checkpoint, allowing you to quickly take out this mini boss again and again.
Here you can find the Captain of the Vanguard.
4. Demo Boss Gauss
This is how you can farm there: If you have already completed the mission “Reunion” once, you can simply choose the story point in the lobby where you spawn just before the boss. You just need to start the fight in the solar tower and not defeat any enemies beforehand.
Once you have defeated the boss, a loot box will be waiting for you. This is the only remaining box in the demo that has a chance for legendary loot. After all, it should be worth it to defeat the boss. You can repeat this as many times as you want.
Gauss is your main enemy in the demo.
5. Side Mission: “Shaky Ground”
This is how you can farm there: Those who have farmed legendary weapons before probably know this mission well. Despite the update, this method still works.
Fight your way to the last part of the mission. There you will encounter the Captain.
You can take him out quickly, let enemies kill you, and repeat this any number of times.
The boss still drops loot.
Also, kill the snipers before you let yourself be killed.
They can increase your chances of legendary loot.
You can check it out in the video by YouTuber KhazeGaming:

What you should pay attention to: With all these methods, remember to keep your world tier at 5. This increases your chances of legendary loot. This overall remains low, so it can take many runs and hours to find a weapon.
If you see a legendary drop flashing, collect it as quickly as possible. If you die in between, there’s a chance the loot may be lost. So, save yourself that frustration.
Why farm at all? The progress you make in the demo can be carried over to the main game. Thus, you can start the release of Outriders on April 1, 2021, well-prepared.
The Twitch streamer Vakin made a brilliant play with the Viking Olaf in League of Legends. He first destroyed a Pink Ward to reach level 6, and then dismantled the opposing team with the newly acquired Ultimate. This allowed him to win a 1vs4 in what seemed like an impossible situation. Fans were amazed and praised the streamer with a “Galaxy Brain,” a high compliment. The tragic part: Despite the play, the streamer is already being overlooked by some.
This is the situation in the stream: The relatively small Twitch streamer Vakin (9,800 followers) is playing Olaf in the jungle and is at level 5 when his teammate Sylas gets into serious trouble. A fight breaks out near the Dragon Pit: Nocturne and Twisted Fate are chasing Sylas.
Olaf is able to take down Nocturne, but his own teammate Sylas is dead. Olaf simply cannot get to the ranged fighter Twisted Fate, and even worse: The opposing team is now rushing in to farm the lonely Olaf. He is just about to reach level 6, needing only a tiny bit of EXP, but his fate seems sealed. He essentially has no way to survive the situation.
Olaf then returns to the bush where he had spotted a Pink Ward from the opponent. He kills this Pink Ward with 4 hits while keeping Twisted Fate at bay with an axe throw: This gives him the needed EXP to hit level 6.
Now Vakin quickly activates Olaf’s Ultimate, which makes him unstoppable. Olaf goes into a berserker rage and wins the ensuing 1vs3, as the opponents – Twisted Fate, Samira, and Nautilus – come at him one after the other, not expecting that a half-dead level-5 Olaf suddenly charges at them with Ultimate while regenerating health.

Wrestler Ryback and Olaf steal the show from Twitch streamers
This is what makes the play so good: Vakin’s presence of mind and his “map awareness” are especially praised here. He had to recognize and execute various things in a very short time.
He couldn’t reach Twisted Fate anymore, so chasing him was pointless – that would have meant certain death.
Olaf himself was so close to level 6 that he just needed a tiny EXP boost.
The streamer had to know how and where to get that EXP in the shortest time – from the Pink Ward.
He bravely charged into 3 approaching enemies while starting the fight alone and with low health.
Ultimately, he had to execute his attack flawlessly to eliminate the opponents quickly, leaving them hardly any chance to react.
This is the mean part about the clip: The cruel thing is that the teammates in the chat do not give the Twitch streamer any respect for the action. Because they did not properly see the play.
His colleagues in the voice chat simply assume: “Olaf is just OP” and that he handled it. Vakin then has to explain what a brilliant move he made with the ward.
Olaf, the Berserker, is a champion in LoL who becomes stronger the lower his health points are. He can also regenerate health when using abilities. His “Ultimate” makes him unstoppable: Olaf can no longer be stopped by crowd control effects. When the Viking gets going, Olaf is absolutely deadly even with low health points.
Small Twitch streamer is somehow always overlooked
This is how it’s being discussed: The clip quickly landed on reddit. Here it received 18,300 upvotes and 256 comments – that is a lot of attention.
But on reddit, users find the GIF in the lower right corner of the clip fantastic, where wrestler Ryback devours a bag of chips in an endless loop.
In the most upvoted comments on reddit, the discussion is about:
wrestler Ryback and what a beast he is
that someone met Ryback in a sushi restaurant and how impressive he was devouring sushi rolls there
the streamer Valkrin, who has a name similar to Vakin, and what he actually does
Only much later does Vakin finally receive his praise: Someone says he is an incredibly intelligent streamer and is totally underrated. Vakin has a “Galaxy Brain,” meaning he makes very intelligent streams and knows LoL incredibly well.
Maybe this clip will finally bring him the well-deserved breakthrough when people can finally divert their gaze from Olaf and Ryback.
We frequently showcase great plays from League of Legends on MeinMMO. Not always does the streamer’s character survive:
In Valheim the map is created randomly and procedurally based on a “seed”. This determines what your world will look like. MeinMMO has compiled the best seeds for various purposes and presents them to you sorted here.
[toc]
What is a seed? The map of Valheim is not fixed, but is recreated when creating a world. A seed is used for this. It is, so to speak, the genetic code that determines how the map will ultimately look.
A seed is a key that specifies which biomes appear where, which land masses are connected, where oceans and islands are located. It also determines where you can find which resources, enemies, and bosses.
What do certain seeds bring me? With a certain seed, you can create a new world that has specific requirements. For example, you can visit maps where you find iron or bronze right from the start.
As your character remains, you can “jump” to these worlds, grab what you need, and then switch back to your main world. This can be particularly helpful when the seed of “your” world is not optimal.
How do I use a seed? To use a seed, you need to create a new world. During creation, you will be asked for the name and the seed. Enter any name and the seed of the world you want to visit.
When starting a new game, you can enter a desired seed.
If you want to view a map after starting, you can do this via admin commands:
open the console with F5
enter “imacheater” and confirm with Enter to activate the commands
enter “exploremap” to uncover the entire map
Note: This list will be continuously updated as we come across new, useful seeds. Feel free to help by posting your top seeds in the comments. Many of the seeds come from the Valheim subreddit or the specific reddit for Valheim seeds.
Update from March 9: We have added and explained the Valheim map generator.
Best seeds for starters and building
CdjvRssbHZ
wVJCZahxX8
3333333333
Vigrid
What do I find here? The seeds allow you to start in a vast grassland that offers little danger all around. You have plenty of space to build your structures and get inspired by the impressive constructions from the community.
In the seed wVJCZahxX8, you will also find a large lake and plenty of wild boars that you can tame and breed. If you want to fulfill your dream of a large farm by the water, this is the place to be.
With the seed CdjvRssbHZ, you have plenty of space to build.
Best seeds for copper, tin, and bronze
HeB5MNca96
What do I find here? You start in a small grassland on a huge island where multiple dark forests can be found. In dark forests, you will find core wood as well as copper and tin, which you need to produce bronze.
In addition, there are several swamps on the starting island and on some nearby islands. In our guide, you can find out how to obtain a pickaxe to mine ores.
Best seeds for swamps and iron
t9n3WG6dFk
nkkFzfrNPu
What do I find here? In these maps, either many swamps are found around the spawn, or, as in the first case, a large swamp with an enormous number of deposits. Just a small piece east of the start, you will find a swamp with ten crypts and numerous iron deposits.
To open the crypts, you need the swamp key from the second boss. Obtain this before heading to the mentioned seeds, or you will waste time farming the resources.
To find iron deposits, you have to dig randomly with the pickaxe – or you can use the divining rod. You can get it from the swamp boss bone mass, and it shows you where you can find treasures and metal veins in the ground.
This is what the swamp looks like just east of the seed t9n3WG6dFk. Image source: reddit.
Best seeds for mountains and silver
nDB9WybzUw
8lMSrE3aGW
What do I find here? Right near the spawn and on the same island, you will find one or more large mountain biomes with these seeds. In the mountains, you will find silver and obsidian, which you need after iron to craft the next better weapons and armor.
Additionally, you will find wolf pelts and fangs as well as dragon eggs that you need to summon the boss Moder.
Best seeds for meat and leather
wVJCZahxX8
What do I find here? This seed is the same one we also listed as a beginner and building seed. We have it listed a second time to emphasize that you find many wild boars here. If you need meat and leather scraps quickly, you should visit this map.
Best seeds for all bosses
Helloworld
IX7JpLYpLd
What do I find here? Even if the first of the seeds sounds like a joke, the reddit user Previlein found a world here that offers everything:
four bosses are on the starting island
the last boss Yagluth is two islands away
all biomes are in close proximity
only the trader is missing
The same applies to the second seed, which even includes the trader. The seeds are not suitable for beginners but are intended for players who are somewhat more advanced. If you need help, our guide provides all bosses of Valheim and how to summon and defeat them.
The seed provides everything an advanced player needs. Image source: reddit.
Special trader seeds
0123456789
42069lolxd
What do I find here? These seeds also sound more like a joke but work well. In both, you will find the trader Haldor a little southeast of the spawn, just a few minutes away on foot.
At Haldor, you can buy useful items like a belt that increases your carrying capacity or a fishing rod to fish. We have already examined the meme seed 42060lolxd in detail for you.
Official MeinMMO seeds
QyB7WVDHvb – seed from Benedict
KKj0NmI0rU – seed from Florian
DMGB202169 – seed from Maik
What do I find here? The seeds are not particularly special in themselves, but you can relive the path the authors of MeinMMO have taken. Follow in our footsteps and tell us what we missed on our journeys!
Create and test your own seeds with the world generator
Meanwhile, the player wd40bomber7 has developed a tool that allows you to create your own seeds and test them before playing (via reddit). With the “world seed generator”, you can generate various seeds and see where you can find important things. Here’s how it works:
choose whether you want to create the map quickly or with high quality and how precise the representation should be
for a quick overview, use “Map Quality: Fast”
check the boxes for the objects you want to see, such as bosses, the trader, or dungeons, and explore the world
If you want, you can generate multiple worlds with the “random” button until you find a seed that you like. We tested the generator with the seed “MeinMMO”, and it’s actually quite good – you find everything you need right at the beginning:
“MeinMMO” is apparently a pretty good seed.
What are your favorite seeds? Where have you already found great things that you need to share with others? Let us know in the comments and exchange ideas!
If you are new to Valheim, our beginner seeds will help you. Of course, you can also have your world randomly generated and find out for yourself what you are getting into. In any case, MeinMMO author Florian Franck shows you in his special 9 mistakes everyone makes in Valheim that you should avoid at the beginning.

The Fortnite YouTuber and professional SypherPK has commented on the upcoming Season 6 in one of his latest videos. He says that while the current season has been nice, something has to change to alter the gameplay.
Such changes would also be important for professional SypherPK, as he believes that Season 6 needs to bring significant changes and reminds us of past updates that have shaken up the entire Fortnite meta.
Who is SypherPK anyway? Ali “SypherPK” Hassan is a YouTuber, streamer, and professional in Fortnite. Over 4.4 million people follow him on his Twitch channel, and on YouTube, he has over 5 million subscribers.
In Fortnite’s e-sports scene, SypherPK has also been active. He has competed in various tournaments alongside Nickmercs.
Season 6 needs new content at last
This is what SypherPK says about Season 5: Although the professional is satisfied with the current season, he emphasizes that there was little relevant for gameplay.
SypherPK says in his video: “These skin packs and bundles don’t necessarily change gameplay, even though they are cool.”
With this, the professional also refers to the numerous collaborations that Fortnite has entered into this season. While many cool skins have been added, like Ant-Man recently, not much has changed in gameplay.

In this video, SypherPK talks about the problems of Season 5 and wishes for Season 6.
This is what SypherPK wishes for Season 6: The professional hopes that in Season 6, more focus will be placed on gameplay. He says:
“Hopefully, they will tone down the numerous collaborations for skins in Season 6. I think it’s time to shift the focus back to the updates that concern gameplay.”
He refers to updates intended to change gameplay. He mentions new items, weapons, or map changes as examples. SypherPK has nothing against old items returning, but he also wishes for new content that has not existed yet.
If you are interested in more about Fortnite, you might also find this appealing:
How realistic is that? Currently, the Zero Point floats around in Fortnite, seeming powerful. It wouldn’t be the first time that something like this has significantly altered the Fortnite map. So with the start of Season 6, there could at least be map changes.
It is still unclear whether new weapons or items are planned. However, Fortnite has managed in the past to bring significant changes with new seasons. There have often been new seasons that brought strong weapons or items.
We will definitely have to wait and see the start of Season 6. What are your thoughts on new weapons and items in the game? Would you also want new content in Season 6?
Everything we know so far about the new season has been summarized here for you:
In FIFA 21, the FUT Player Days have started. The event brings a pack gift – what else is included?
How long do FUT Player Days last? The FUT Player Days unexpectedly started on Monday evening, March 9, outside the usual Friday dates. They will run until March 12, ending next Friday evening.
How to get a pack gift: With the FUT Player Days, players receive a free pack to boost their team. To collect it, all you have to do is log in – this can be done through the regular game or the Companion App.
Players can currently collect a pack gift
However, what kind of pack you receive depends on how often you have logged into the game since the start of FIFA 21.
Players with 1 – 60 days receive a Jumbo Premium Gold Pack
Players with 61 – 115 days get a Prime Gold Player Pack
Between 116 and 137 days, there is a Rare Mega Pack
And between 138 and 141 days, there is an Ultimate Pack
Important: The contents of the pack are untradeable, so you cannot sell them on the transfer market.
FUT Player Days – What Contents Does the Event Bring?
What’s included in the FUT Player Days: The Player Days are basically a kind of side event, as the “What If” event is still ongoing. In the post about the Player Days, it was noted that the What-If Team 2 will only be available in packs until March 10, which is Wednesday evening. Whether there will be other special cards after that is still unknown.
There are cheaper packs in the shop
What is certain is that discounted promo packs are available in the shop during the Player Days. Currently, for example, the Premium Gold Player Pack and the Mega Pack can be found at half price. It is likely that the packs will rotate in the shop in the coming days.
Objectives and SBCs: For the event, “themed objectives and SBCs” have been announced. You can expect various challenges. At the start, for example, there was an objective in the game that allows you to get a non-tradeable Prime Gold Player Pack.
The objective also rewards you with a pack
At the same time, the What-If event continues – and it is likely to stay interesting for a few more weeks, as the cards can receive upgrades depending on real results. You can track the status of your upgrades with our What-If Tracker for FIFA 21 on MeinMMO.

The survival game Valheim offers a progression system for your character and the entire world in which you play. To ensure that nothing is lost due to errors, a backup can help you. MeinMMO explains where to find your save games and how to secure them.
Why do I need a backup? Valheim is currently still in development. This can lead to some bugs sneaking into the game, which can be more or less severe.
Additionally, in Valheim, you can progress further by defeating massive bosses and other enemies. To ensure you don’t lose this progress in the world and story, you can easily secure your save files.
How to create a backup of your save game: First, make sure that you can see hidden files on your PC. This may vary depending on your Windows version. You can find instructions on how to display hidden files on the Microsoft support page.
If Valheim is currently running, close the game. Otherwise, it can lead to corrupted files. Then navigate to the save game folder of Valheim. You can find it by default on your system partition at the following path:
C:Users%USERNAME%AppDataLocalLowIronGateValheim
The drive letter corresponds to the drive on which you have created the user folder. If you have difficulties finding the folder, type %appdata% into the search bar and press Enter; this will take you directly to the parent folder.
This is what the folder you are looking for looks like.
Then, copy at least the “characters” and “worlds” folders and save them in another location, such as the desktop or another hard drive. You can also copy the entire Valheim folder directly.
Remember to frequently create a backup if you want to secure yourself. You can also save different times separately if you want to revert to an earlier state of your world.
Server backups and foreign save games
How does it work with your own server? If you rent your own server, most providers already create backups automatically that you can rely on. Depending on the provider, you may even be able to force a backup – you can usually find the options in the server management.
If you have set up your own server via Steam, you will find the settings in the same folder as your own world. A backup of it also secures the server world. In our guide, we explain how to get your own server in Valheim and play with friends.
Can I use other save games? In principle, yes, you can copy data from other players into your folder or transfer your own worlds to dedicated servers. However, be aware that this doesn’t always work smoothly.
You can completely copy both worlds and characters from other players. To do this, simply copy the respective contents into your folder:
.fch files for characters
.fwl files and the corresponding databases for worlds
the file “steam_autocloud.vdf” should not be copied for safety reasons
Due to different versions, corrupted files, or bugs, it can happen that you destroy your save game with this. Make sure to back everything up beforehand.
If you just want to play on the same world as another player without taking over their buildings or progress, you just need to play on the same seed. In our special, you’ll find the best seeds for Valheim.

In Pokémon GO the “Search for Legends” event has started. It brings you Shiny Nasgnet, new field research tasks, and exciting raid bosses. Here’s an overview.
How long does the event run? The Search for Legends event runs until March 14 at 8:00 PM local time. You can benefit from the bonuses for just under a week.
The event introduced Shiny Nasgnet and other rare Pokémon will appear in the wild. You can find an overview of the bonuses here:
We will now mainly take a look at quests, raid bosses, and the individual spawns and tell you what you should take advantage of.
Spawns and Quests for the Search for Legends
These are the new quests: Matching the event, there are now 6 new field research tasks that will bring you event Pokémon. They include:
Catch 5 Steel-type Pokémon
Reward: Encounter with a Nasgnet (can be Shiny)
Earn a candy by walking with your buddy
Reward: Encounter with a Nasgnet (can be Shiny)
Use 5 Power-Ups on Pokémon
Reward: Encounter with a Nasgnet (can be Shiny)
Catch 5 Rock-type Pokémon
Reward: Encounter with a Kiesling (can be Shiny)
Win a raid
Reward: Encounter with a Panzaeron (can be Shiny)
Use a smoke
Reward: Encounter with a Schilterus
There are a total of 3 field research tasks with the new Shiny Nasgnet. So it’s definitely worth doing these quests. The quest around Kiesling is just as good. This Pokémon is extremely rare outside of events and many players might still be missing a Shiny.
This is what the Shiny family of Nasgnet looks like.
These are the spawns: Generally, the spawns are quite strong. Digda and Kleinstein in their Alolan forms appear fairly often in the wild. Additionally, there are spawns of Puppance, Nasgnet, Kiesling, and Tanhel, which are otherwise encountered quite rarely.
So it’s worth doing a few rounds during the event, as you will encounter some Pokémon that are otherwise rather uncommon.
There is also limited research for the event that will be active as long as the event runs. It has a total of 7 steps and includes 7 Nasgnet and more Pokémon as rewards.

What else is there? The event is just one of many events this month. To ensure you don’t miss any of the news, we provide you with an overview of all the events in March:
A YouTuber promises with his farming method 47,000 gold per hour in World of Warcraft. We checked to see what is really behind it.
Making gold is a perennial topic in World of Warcraft. Every player wants to have gold, especially because legendary items, potions, and buff food can be quite expensive. But how can you effectively farm gold? There are many guides, tips, and tricks, but not all of them work really well.
Today we look at a strategy from YouTuber Æxitus the Monk, who promises in one of his recent videos that you can farm 47,000 gold per hour in World of Warcraft.
What does the YouTuber suggest? Æxitus suggests taking a character with the Mining profession and making Suramar in Legion unsafe. In the northwest of the area, he farms here in an almost circular route continuously for Leyline Crystals and Infernal Stone. These were the two main ores during the Legion expansion, which are basically needed for almost all recipes that can be made by blacksmiths or engineers. You should also cover these professions with Twinks.
To speed up farming, you should use items like the “Demonic Stag Saddle” and “Darkmoon Fire Water”, which reduce mining speed and ensure that you do not have to dismount to mine.
However, there are two or three items that you can craft:
Automatic Hammer: The Automatic Hammer is basically a repair bot that can be built by engineers. You can use it anywhere to repair your gear and that of the group. It also works in raids or Mythic+ dungeons – especially where you otherwise cannot mount and this kind of repair is excluded.
Demonsteel Bars: These bars are made from Infernal Stone and Leyline Crystals and were used for armor back then. However, there is also another lucrative recipe that requires these bars.
Steelbound Devourer: This is a mount, a fel-green core hound. Blacksmiths can make this, but they need a lot of resources. In addition to the Demonsteel Bars, blacksmiths also need a lot of Blood of Sargeras and some other resources from world quests. The recipe for this mount drops from Tichondrius in the Night Fortress – he can be defeated solo at level 60.
The “Blood of Sargeras” for the Steelbound Devourer will likely be the bigger problem, as you need a hefty 50 pieces of it. But you can also proceed more effectively here. Look for world quests and Legion invasions that grant this resource directly. Alternatively, you can complete the world quests that give you many hundreds of order resources, as you can exchange these resources for Blood of Sargeras in your order hall.

Why should this work? The content of Legion is largely outdated, which is why, aside from players during the leveling phase, only a few people are staying there. So in the best case, you have an entire farming area all to yourself and can harvest many hundreds of ores per hour, which translates to a corresponding number of Automatic Hammers.
The items you are aiming to craft are also still useful. A repair bot continues to be needed often and shortens waiting times for raid and dungeon players.
Can you really reach 47,000 gold per hour with this? Here one would probably have to answer with a clear “It depends.” In principle, the gold amount can certainly be farmed, but enough buyers for the items, like the hammers or the mount, need to be found. The earnings will vary from realm to realm.
Finding buyers can take quite a bit of time, but if you consistently put your items up for auction, you should eventually sell them.
The cool mount is still sought after by many – a good price is paid for it.
Especially for the mount, it makes sense to occasionally advertise it in the trade channel. Because attractive items, like big mounts, sell best when potential collectors can click on them directly and see them – the trade channel is your friend here.
But be sure to check before farming whether the mount or the Automatic Hammer is already being offered in large quantities on your realm. If that’s the case, it could become significantly more difficult to find buyers, or you may need to significantly lower the price.
What method are you currently using to earn your gold in World of Warcraft? Do you have a trick that you would like to share with other players?
Streamer QTCinderella initiates a discussion about how women present themselves in “Hot Tub Streams” on Twitch in swimsuits to fans. This negatively affects their own streams, says QTCinderella. Because people come into her chat and expect to see her half-naked.
This is what the streamer says: QTCinderella is a medium-sized streamer on Twitch with close to 300,000 followers. She sometimes plays chess, sometimes GTA 5, and sometimes the mobile MMORPG “Blade & Soul Revolution”, but most of the time she is in “Just Chatting”.
There she explained in a stream what bothers her at the moment: “Hot Tub Streams”: In these, female streamers film themselves in swimsuits in an outdoor pool, a hot tub, and talk with the viewers.”
The Twitch streamer QTCinderella says:
Just because some female streamers do this, it puts other female streamers in a situation where they experience bullshit. It really annoys me.
I completely support that everyone earns their bread here. Really, I’m all for it: “Yes, queen, you can do the hot tub stream, but please not on Twitch. Because it brings me trouble. Because then people from your chat come, after seeing your hot stuff, into my chat and want to see mine. But we don’t do that here. It’s so frustrating.
QT Cinderella
Streams in the tub circumvent Twitch’s nudity rules
Which streams does she mean?Twitch has clear rules against nudity: Men and women are not allowed to show certain body parts unclothed and actually, one should not just stream in underwear. Otherwise, you violate the rules and risk a ban.
However, it is okay to stream in a swimsuit if the occasion calls for it. This is “contextually okay”: Swimming and beach outings are explicitly listed as exceptions where the dress code is relaxed. And somehow splashing in a tub apparently counts as “swimming”.
Therefore, there is the trend of “Hot Tub Streams”, where female streamers film themselves in swimsuits in a hot tub and talk with the fans.
Such frivolous clips from the outdoor pool reach 100,000 viewers on Twitch: The streamer Indiefox in the clip runs an OnlyFans account (via twitch). And that’s exactly the point.
Twitch as a showcase for “18+” accounts on OnlyFans
This is what it’s really about: QTCinderella says, “Go ahead, but don’t do it on Twitch.” She means that female streamers who stage such “Hot Tub Streams” often use Twitch as a promotional tool to advertise their actual content, which they charge for through services like “OnlyFans”.
Because some female streamers who present themselves quite revealingly on Twitch in such “Hot Tub Streams” also operate accounts on “OnlyFans”, where there are then “18+” contents.
OnlyFans is a platform that was established in London in 2016. Here, “predominantly erotic and pornographic” content from influencers can be found. On the platform, “fans” pay for content either through a subscription or pay-per-view. The platform became more well-known in August 2020 when actress Bella Thorne earned over a million US dollars in one day.
The accusation against female streamers is: Twitch, Twitter, or Instagram only serve as a showcase to draw viewers’ attention to the influencers: they earn “real money” through content behind a paywall like OnlyFans.
This is currently criticized by viewers who wish for Twitch to be a platform that focuses strongly on gaming.
QTCinderella says female streamers could definitely do “Hot Tub Streams”, but please not on Twitch:

This practice was particularly evident with streamer Missbehavin, who filmed a strip performance for her “OnlyFans” and completely undressed during the live stream, but the strip performance intended for OnlyFans accidentally streamed live on Twitch for everyone.
Destiny 2 allows players to determine their loot themselves in Season 13. However, it seems that players should avoid making certain mistakes. Otherwise, you will waste valuable resources and time.
Here’s what you should watch out for: In Season 13 of Destiny 2, the popular Umbral Engrams made their return. This gives Guardians an opportunity to farm for new weapons and armor more precisely through what is called focusing. This costs players seasonal resources and especially “hammer charges”.
Regarding this, the motto is that the more expensive the focusing is, the better or more precise the loot determination will be. However, that doesn’t seem to be entirely true.
Destiny expert Ehroar from the renowned Redeem Clan states in his latest video: “You’re using the focusing of Umbral Engrams incorrectly all the time…” (via YouTube).
The community is discussing probabilities that are not in the Guardians’ favor.
magazines like Forbes are also reporting on this and issuing a warning (via Forbes).
MeinMMO summarizes the discovered problems and gives you the recommended “right way” to focus Umbral Engrams in Season 13.
What are Umbral Engrams in Destiny 2? They are a loot mechanic that allows you to have significantly more influence over items hidden in the Engram than, for example, with the Cryptarch. The system behind it is closely linked to the Prismatic Hammer in Season 13. You can find detailed guides on both on MeinMMO:
Expert says: Be careful with the focusing of Umbral Engrams
Don’t waste your charges and Umbral Engrams
Before we look at the problem, here’s a brief overview of what players need to keep in mind. The focusing of Umbral Engrams occurs in 3 stages:
The first stage is very cheap, but you have virtually no influence on the loot. You can only determine whether you want a new weapon or a new piece of armor with a hammer charge. You have no influence on the weapon type, perks, or stats.
Stage 2 costs already 3 hammer charges but limits the loot to just 2 possible weapons (for example, sniper or bow as well as rocket launcher or linear fusion) or to a specific piece of armor (for example, the new helmet, which is mocked for its appearance).
At the final stage, each focusing costs 5 hammer charges. The loot pool is identical to stage 2, but you have two options for the second perk slot instead of the usual one. For armors, a selected value is guaranteed to be around 20.
Almost every focusing costs hammer charges, for which you must first spend the resources Kabal Gold, then play a battleground activity to the end (about 15 minutes), and only then do you get a charged hammer.
The statistics are against you at high levels
This is the problem: According to Ehroar, the mathematical probability shows that with 6 focusings at stage 2, you waste significantly more resources and come barely any closer to your God Roll. He and the community come to slightly different numbers.
But fundamentally, stage 1 provides you with a 66% chance of getting your desired weapon with 6 focusings. Stage 2 costs more and gives you a 75% chance of getting your desired weapon, which is not significantly higher.
At stage 3, you have an extremely expensive coin toss. Obtaining 2 weapons, of which 50% is the wrong one, costs 10 hammer charges.
Stage 3 costs a lot and is supposed to provide little in the long run
Most players are likely to diligently save for the most expensive focusing and hope for the best opportunities. However, the problem is also that you have significantly more Umbral Engrams than you should earn hammer charges.
This is also frustrating: The rather complex and intertwined mechanics of Umbral Engrams and the Prismatic Hammer, which needs to be charged, annoy many.
Because the effort to focus even one Engram requires
playing at least 2 playlists,
returning to the H.E.L.M. hub
and spending resources.
For a focused Engram, mind you.
In general, Guardians like Umbral Engrams, as self-determination of loot is great. However, the way this is implemented in Season 13 is not very well received.
“The right way” to focus Umbral Engrams in Destiny 2
This is how you should proceed: The simplest way to handle Umbral Engrams seems to also be the best. You receive an Umbral Engram and a hammer charge and directly spend both for stage 1.
In the long run, according to Ehroar, this will yield the best results. Because you will receive the most weapons overall, and the other options only marginally increase the chances of God Rolls when factoring in the costs.
Here’s a look at the new weapons that can also be contained in the Umbral Engrams:
Only if you earn plenty of hammer charges, already possess one or another God Roll, and really enjoy the battlegrounds, are the more expensive focusings recommended.
How do you approach Umbral Engrams? Are you swimming in loot packages by now or are you still focusing them diligently? Is the system too complex and unnecessarily lengthy? Maybe it will get better once you unlock all hammer upgrades…
Valve’s popular DOTA 2 has a tutorial, but many players can’t make use of it. A fan wants to change that and is raising $25,000 for a new introduction.
What is the problem? Basically, the introduction to DOTA 2 is considered a joke in the community. This is because the tutorial requires finding a special item that has long since been removed from the game.
This means that anyone wanting to get into the MOBA DOTA 2 has to look for other means. Many then watch videos on YouTube to learn the online game.
However, it does not make for a good entry into a game if newcomers first have to look elsewhere to see how it is even played.
The Stout Shield is now missing from the game but was required for the tutorial.
Newcomers should be well introduced to DOTA 2
What is the idea? SirActionSlacks, one of the most well-known personalities in the DOTA 2 community and host of major DOTA events, wants to develop a new tutorial. This should be kept very simple and contain the following elements:
With this short tutorial, newcomers should be helped to quickly get into the game.
What does the player need for this? Creating this tutorial well and understandably as a mod for the MOBA DOTA 2 takes time. Therefore, SirActionSlacks started a crowdfunding campaign via IndieGoGo. Over $25,000 has already been raised through this.
With this money, the mod developer is now working on creating the tutorial.

The trigger for the idea of a new tutorial for DOTA 2 was the announcement of the anime series for the game.
Why did he come up with the idea right now? On March 25, 2021, an anime series about DOTA titled “Dragon’s Blood” will premiere on Netflix.
SirActionSlacks believes that the series will spark interest in the game and some viewers will want to try DOTA 2. However, they might be put off by the official tutorial.
Therefore, SirActionSlacks wants to tackle the new introduction for Valve’s online game so that newcomers can comfortably start playing DOTA 2 after watching the series.
Update 29 for the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) has been released for PC. And with it came the new Champion System 2.0 into play. We take a look at how the community reacted.
What change did the update bring? The update 29 released on March 8 for PC overhauls the champion system in ESO. You now only have three skill trees: Might, Force, and Agility. You invest your collected Champion Points in these to gain passive skills.
The biggest differences from the old system are:
There are branches that you must unlock to access desired skills
You can only activate a maximum of four special skills per tree at the same time
With the new update, the DLC “Flames of Ambition” also released with two new dungeons for PC. The DLC launches this year’s story “Gates of Oblivion”.
Update 29 and the DLC will be available on March 16 for PS4/PS4 and Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.

What Players Are Saying About the New ESO Champion System
How is the new system being received? There are indeed significant changes that Zenimax Online has made to the champion system of ESO. It is clear that this means a transition for the players. Opinions on the changes are currently somewhat divided.
The main criticism is that now many Champion Points (CP) must be invested in skills you may not even want, just to unlock the one skill you need. This prolongs the process of obtaining the desired skills. For some, it feels more like grinding.
More Champion Points must be gathered to invest them in a way that eventually grants you the skill you desire. According to players, this is not as bad in the Might skill tree as it is in the other two.
Also, the fact that players can only equip four skills per tree is too few for some.
This is what the new champion system looks like in the MMORPG ESO.
N1kl0 comments on reddit: “There are some interesting nodes but too few slots. The grind for Champion Points is too high and some nodes require way too many CPs just to have a very minimal impact.”
Connorx15 writes (via reddit): “The worst for everyone with few CP is that they have to waste them to get the skills they need.”
Paschgon explains in the official ESO forum: “I noticed that in the new champion system, to get their heart upgrades, you need to invest a lot of your hard-earned CP into things you really don’t want at all.”
However, not everyone finds the new system bad. It simply requires more adjustment time and one has to think better about how to allocate their Champion Points to obtain the skills that are important for them. It is necessary to be smart and not just distribute points haphazardly.
Nayrael thinks the new system is good (via reddit): “I am very happy to have the core RPG component back. The thrill of leveling up has been lost long before reaching CP 810. And some new stars, like double furniture drops, are quite nice.”
cepheus42 is quite satisfied (via reddit): “I like it. I am at 481 [CP] and I feel that my character is much better now than before. The system is still more complicated than it needs to be, but overall, I think I at least have a better sense of what the spending of certain points for a specific attribute achieves.”
warg_derpin_gdf writes in the official ESO forum: “At first, I was put off by it, but it really seems to reflect the spirit of The Elder Scrolls of the old school. It’s not about leveling up, but figuring out your personal adjustments that will be difficult to achieve and what can simply be ignored without having to create a whole new character.”
Have you already had the chance to try the new champion system in The Elder Scrolls Online? What do you think about it?
The Division 2 is taking its servers down for a few hours this morning, March 9th, to implement the new Title Update 12.3. Maintenance will start on all platforms (PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S, Stadia, PC) and MeinMMO will show you the details.
Update 1:00 PM: The maintenance has been successfully completed and the servers are back online:

Original announcement: Why the maintenance? The loot shooter has been suspiciously quiet in the open world for some time. However, the developers recently presented the plans for 2021 and even announced a new mode that will launch this year.
Additionally, the season cycle is starting again and with TU 12.3, Season 5 kicks off today, which is actually Season 1 from last year. With the so-called “Season Re-Runs,” you can experience the contents of the seasons again.
The roadmap for Season 1 from last year.
All info about the server downtime and update on 09.03.21
When will the servers go down? The maintenance has already started and is expected to last about 3 hours. Here is the schedule:
Start of maintenance at 9:30 AM our time
This also starts the downtime and you cannot play Division 2
The servers are expected to be offline for 3 hours
If everything goes smoothly, the servers will be back online at 12:30 PM
Keep in mind: There have been times in the past where the maintenance end was postponed – both forward and backward. So it’s very possible that you may have to wait longer for the servers to come back online. However, there have also been instances where the servers came back online earlier.
We keep the article updated and will let you know if there are any changes to the maintenance schedule.
How big is the update? This varies a bit depending on which platform you are on. The developers provide the following update sizes:
PC: approx. 3.6 GB
Xbox: approx. 4.6 GB
PlayStation: approx. 3.8 GB
The developers state that sizes may also vary in different regions. However, these figures are a good guideline for the size of the update.
Contents of Title Update 12.3
What does the new update bring? The patch notes are very sparse. The “highlight” of the new title update is the start of the “Seasonal Re-Runs”. This launches a manhunt online, but the season pass also comes back into play. Here you can learn more about the seasons of The Division 2.
The Division 2 will also continue to be supported in 2021, but it can no longer shine with similar announcements as it did last year. Nevertheless, the open-world shooter is particularly interesting for newcomers who want to explore a large world and assemble interesting builds. It is among the best co-op shooters with an open world, even though it lags a bit in the endgame.

On Pokémon GO, a new Smoke Day starts this Sunday, March 14. This one revolves around Beldum, but also other monsters. We show you what to look forward to.
What is a Smoke Day? This event focuses on the item Smoke. For 6 hours, the smoke attracts very special Pokémon that change every hour. Each Smoke Day is assigned a very special theme.
This time, the Smoke Day revolves around Beldum and Pokémon of the Psychic and Steel types. Niantic has now published a list of spawns that you will find there. We provide the overview.
All info about the Smoke Day in March with Beldum
When does the Smoke Day take place? It starts on March 14 at 11:00 AM local time. The event lasts for 6 hours and ends at 5:00 PM.
Note these times: Every hour, the Pokémon that come from the smoke change. Here is the hourly overview:
11:00 AM to 12:00 PM: Psychic Pokémon appear in the smoke
12:00 PM to 1:00 PM: Steel Pokémon appear in the smoke
1:00 PM to 2:00 PM: Psychic Pokémon appear in the smoke
2:00 PM to 3:00 PM: Steel Pokémon appear in the smoke
3:00 PM to 4:00 PM: Psychic Pokémon appear in the smoke
4:00 PM to 5:00 PM: Steel Pokémon appear in the smoke
These Pokémon are available on Smoke Day: Niantic has already published a small list for this, showing the Pokémon that will appear on Smoke Day.
As Psychic Pokémon, Beldum*, Natu*, Girafarig, Meditite*, Puppance* and Somniam will appear
As Steel Pokémon, Beldum*, Alolan Diglett*, Magnemite*, Stooutland*, Bronzor* and Shielder are available
All Pokémon marked with a star here can also be encountered as Shiny.
Interesting among them are Pokémon like Alolan Diglett, Magnemite, Natu, or Puppance. They are all rather rare in the wild, and some trainers might still be looking for Shinies.
This is the story of Beldum: It is also called the Iron Ball Pokémon. Beldum does not flow with blood, but magnetic energy. Thus, it can resist the Earth’s gravitational pull and float above the ground.
This attack is available: If you evolve a Metagross during the event, it will learn the move Meteor Mash. With this attack, Metagross will then be far and away the best Steel attacker and also generally a useful all-rounder.
So if you catch a strong Beldum during the hour or already have one, you should definitely evolve it during the event.
What’s next? In March, there are still quite a few events waiting for you players. There are raid and spotlight hours, as well as numerous other events with new Shinies.
To make sure you don’t miss an event, we provide you with an overview of all the news:
In Season 2 of Call of Duty: Warzone, the tactical rifle AUG benefits from a small yet important buff and is now among the best weapons. On MeinMMO, you can find the best setup, key stats, and tips for the optimal playstyle of this new overachiever.
What kind of weapon is it? The AUG is an Austrian assault rifle with many model variants. Development began in the 160s, and production started in the late 70s. AUG stands for “Armee-Universal-Gewehr,” and the third version of the weapon is still in production today (via Wikipedia).
In Call of Duty: Warzone, there are two variants of the weapon: the submachine gun from Modern Warfare and the burst tactical rifle from Black Ops Cold War. However, while the glorious days of the AUG-SMG are over, the tactical rifle has been making a splash since the release of Season 2.
The burst rifle is stable, has a high bullet velocity, and therefore a fantastic range. MeinMMO shows you the tested setup of a Warzone expert and provides tips on how you can benefit from the powerful AUG. Finally, there is a comparison with the direct competitor M16, the second burst tactical rifle from Cold War.
[toc]
Setup for Tactical Rifle AUG Starts in Season 2
What does a strong setup look like? Three things are especially important for an AUG setup:
Increase bullet velocity
Reduce horizontal recoil
Exchange the sight due to the “sniper glint”
Thanks to a buff, you now have a significantly higher bullet velocity (640 m/s) with the tactical rifle after Season 2, but it is only with attachments that the “bullet velocity” of the AUG becomes truly impressive (around 1,100 m/s). At typical combat distances up to 100 meters, there is then very little delay between shot and hit.
You can manage the recoil to a comfortable level with an underbarrel attachment. The weapon is already very precise without attachments. However, since it excels particularly at medium and long distances, reducing horizontal recoil provides more security for your kills.
Moreover, it is important that you do not engage with the standard sight. While the sight provides a decent zoom, the pre-set scope has a sight reflection like sniper rifles. By choosing one of the other “Cold War” sights with similar zoom, you can avoid this disadvantage.
Warzone: AUG Setup for Easy Range Kills
Muzzle: Agency Suppressor
Barrel: 18.2″ Task Force
Sight: Axial Arms 3x
Underbarrel: Field Agent Grip
Magazine: 45-Round Drum
What does the setup bring?The revived Agency Suppressor significantly increases your bullet velocity along with the barrel. Range bonuses do not matter with the AUG – you cause the same damage at all distances. This also applies to your body shots. All hits except headshots deal 40 damage. Headshots deal 72 damage to the enemy. The barrel also slightly increases your rate of fire and thus your damage potential.
The third equipped attachment is the Field Agent Grip. It provides the strongest reduction of horizontal recoil, delivering the best performance for the AUG.
To avoid sight reflections, we recommend the Axial Arms 3x. However, your preferences also play a role here. Choose the sight that works best for you.
For ammunition, the 45-Round Drum provides the largest bonus compared to the drawbacks. The reload time remains at the standard value of 2.12 seconds, but you have no drawbacks regarding your time in sight. This is at 350 milliseconds with this setup, which is very good for a range weapon.
What else can I try? If you are playing in matches with teams, you should rely on exactly this setup here. However, solo, you usually do not need so many rounds in the magazine and can forgo the extra ammo. Then you can use the “SAS Combat Stock” instead. It increases your speed while aiming by a substantial 50%. When you target your enemy, the quick side movements (strafing) make you significantly harder to hit.
If you want to learn more about the stats of the AUG and the details of the attachments in this game, check out “TheXclusiveAce”. We will embed the English video with the setup presentation here for you:

How do I best use the weapon? The AUG is a versatile all-round weapon in Warzone with a focus on range. Its uniqueness: It fires 3-round bursts. This gives it a special feel that may not suit every player. However, burst shots allow for much more precise actions, making it easy to hit enemies with a bit of practice – which particularly excels this weapon at medium and long distances.
In close combat, you are not helpless, but often at a disadvantage. The time to kill (TTK) of the AUG with the above-listed setup is about 700 milliseconds without headshots. In comparison, the popular assault rifle FFAR 1 brings enemies down in about 470 milliseconds, which is significantly faster. By landing a headshot, you can reduce the AUG’s TTK to nearly 500 milliseconds, which is a very strong value for medium and long distances.
As a secondary weapon, one of the best submachine guns in Warzone is suitable. A shotgun like the strong R9-0 with Dragon’s Breath works well too, but then you will have a significant gap in your loadout between 10 – 40 meters. Definitely carry a close-quarters weapon in your secondary and use the AUG for longer-range kills.
With the strong zoom sights from Cold War in Warzone, the AUG is especially suited for scouting and first strikes. Examine every noticeable movement through your scope and unleash 2 or 3 precise bursts as your opening move. This way, you can often take down the first member of the opposing team before the fight really begins.
Your significant strength with the AUG is your accuracy along with the weapon’s “infinite” range. Automatic rifles tend to miss more, and due to their high rate of fire, bullets can land beside the enemy more often. Moreover, most assault rifles and LMGs transition into a second damage tier that increases the TTK at a certain distance.
With the AUG, hitting is easier, regardless of how far away the opponent is standing. Once you get the hang of it, you can focus your shots on the opponent’s chest and be confident that all 3 bullets in the burst will hit. With some practice, you can aim your shots so that one bullet lands as a headshot on the enemy, requiring only 2 bursts for a kill. This is what makes the AUG so powerful.
Pro
High target accuracy
Only one headshot needed to reduce TTK
“Infinite” range
Contra
3-round bursts may not be for everyone
Weak in close combat
High TTK without headshots
Warzone: AUG vs. M16 – Which One is Better for Me?
Which tactical rifle should I choose? With the AUG buff at the start of Season 2, both burst tactical rifles from Cold War are really strong alternatives in Warzone. Additionally, the weapons are very similar. With our meta build of the M16, the time to aim is at the same level as with the AUG, and otherwise, both play almost the same. In the end, it comes down to a compromise decision between damage and stability:
The recoil of the M16 is more predictable than that of the AUG
The time to kill of the AUG is about 10% lower than that of the M16
according to truegamadata.com: AUG – 708 ms / M16 – 767 ms (with Task Force barrel)
The AUG offers a slightly higher bullet velocity and advantages in time to kill.
The M16 has greater stability and can easily hit enemies beyond 150 meters while in a steady position.
The recoil patterns of the M16 are more predictable. Source: YouTube
If you enjoy burst rifles and can handle them, both weapons are strong companions in Battle Royale. However, due to their relatively high time to kill, they are not OP weapons but rather very accurate, which is their greatest strength. If 3-round weapons are not your thing, then grab an assault rifle, LMG, or sniper rifle for your long-range kills.
Everyone else should definitely include burst rifles in their loadout, as they are both among the best weapons in Warzone.

Shortly before the release of Patch 9.0.5, World of Warcraft changes a small but important detail. A annoying restriction of the new currency simply disappears.
Actually, Patch 9.0.5 has been in the PTR for a long time as a ‘release candidate’, but at the last minute Blizzard made an important change. A strong limitation of the new Valor points has been removed, making the resource easier to collect.
What has changed? With the latest update of Patch 9.0.5, Blizzard has changed a small addition in the description of the Valor points. While it previously stated that a character can only hold 1,500 Valor points at once, this addition has now disappeared.
After the players puzzled for a few hours whether this was a bug, Blizzard explained in the official forum: No, this is intended. The maximum amount of Valor points that a character can hold has been removed.
With the change, you can store more – this is positive for everyone.
Why was this changed? Blizzard did not mention a specific reason, but the strong feedback is likely to be a decisive factor. Many players complained that the cap of 1,500 Valor points in the inventory was a hindrance. Especially since only comparatively few items drop in “Mythic+” dungeons, there is a risk that players reach the 1,500 cap without having a single item they want to upgrade.
To avoid such a situation, many players wanted the cap to be removed – very similar to how it is already the case with Conquest points in PvP.
What caps still exist? However, there is still an upper limit for Valor points. However, this no longer limits how many your character can hold at once, but only represents the absolute cap of what you can earn at all. This cap starts at 5,000 points and is then increased by 750 additional points each week. Those who start later can catch up with other players by simply investing a bit more time in dungeons.
When is Patch 9.0.5 being released? Already tomorrow. In Europe, the patch goes live with maintenance on 10.03.2021. Americans can already play the patch today, as they have a slight advantage due to the time difference and a different schedule for the maintenance here.
Do you like the change to Valor points? Or did you find the limitation more sensible?

What has happened in Outriders after the demo launch
Aside from much criticism regarding the technical condition, there are also many positive voices about Outriders
One of the biggest criticisms was the motion blur settings and the camera shake in cutscenes, which can cause seasickness and motion sickness. With a trick, you can disable motion blur on PC.
This is how many hours the full game is expected to occupy you: Outriders has a story campaign that according to the official website will provide about 30 hours of gameplay, as long as you focus on a single character and the story.
If you complete side missions and also play different classes, the extent is expected to double, to around 60 hours.
This is roughly what the story is about: The Earth is destroyed, and the last remnants of humanity have taken refuge on the planet Enoch. Players take on the role of an Outrider and are part of an elite team that is to explore the planet.
However, upon landing on the planet, the Outriders encounter a strange anomaly storm that causes strange things to happen. Your character gains special abilities but is frozen for 30 years. In the meantime, the rest of humanity settles on Enoch and gradually falls back into old patterns.
You finally awaken amidst the chaos and try to help. Your task is also to track down the origin of a mysterious signal.
This signal initially led people to this planet. Apparently, they see it as the salvation of our species. However, on Enoch, there are numerous dangers, both from humans and from vicious creatures against which you must fight.

This is how Outriders differs from Anthem and others: Unlike other well-known loot shooters like Anthem, The Division 2, or Destiny 2, Outriders will not be a live-service game. This means there will be no season or battle pass. Outriders is not designed for an “infinite” lifespan, as the aforementioned titles.
Outriders is supposed to come to market “finished”. While DLCs are not categorically excluded, the developers emphasize that there are no fixed content plans for the future. The focus is on the story, loot, PvE, and coop battles.
Will you try the Outriders demo? Or are you not interested in another loot shooter? If you have already checked it out, how do you find Outriders so far?
A PC modder has installed water cooling in a PS5. Not only does it look really cool, but it actually works too. The modder tested the PS5’s functions.Who among you wouldn’t want such hardware on the living room table?
Here’s what it’s about: The YouTuber Modding Cafe (currently 3,220 subscribers) has presented a PS5 in several videos that he modified with water cooling.
There isn’t much left of the actual console, as besides the water cooling, he also put the modified console in a new case. And the result is quite impressive.
In four videos, he not only shows how he assembles the console but also how he tests it. One of the videos is embedded here for you.
If you haven’t been convinced by the white design of the PS5 so far, you should definitely check out the user’s design. However, we have to disappoint you regarding the size because this PS5 is not much smaller than the original console:

Here you can see how the modder installs the PS5 in a new case
The title image is sourced from the official YouTube video of the modder.
The water cooling was elaborately designed for the PS5
How did the user proceed? First, the YouTuber disassembled the PlayStation 5 into its components with someone else.
Next, he designed a block for the water cooling on the PC that can surround the entire board of the PlayStation. In a further step, he screwed the radiator of the water cooling and the fans. He also sealed the SSD slot.
However, the power supply (PSU) did not make it into the water-cooled PS5. It is connected to the console via cables. This construction makes it look more like a laptop’s power supply. In his video, the modder previously explained that he wants to integrate the power supply into the case in the next version.

How long did the conversion take? The modder does not specify how long he took for the final console. We can only speculate about the amount of time required.
However, he mentions multiple times in his video that he had to design the water cooling himself and also conducted several tests due to the temperatures. This must have taken a lot of time.
What plans does the modder have? Modding Cafe states that this would not be his last water-cooled console. “This is just the first version of a water-cooled PS5, and more versions will follow,” he writes in his video.
Much more interesting is the indication that he also wants to sell his water-cooled console. He writes:
“We are preparing a commercial version and are also working on integrating the water cooling of the PS5 into one of our upcoming PC builds, don’t miss it.
This console, however, is unlikely to be cheap.
New PS5 design looks great – even if it is white and large
The modder stays true to the previous colors of Sony, as his new design is also white.
Why this might bother some: The white design of the console is not to everyone’s liking. Shortly after the reveal of the PS5 design, some people complained that Sony only offers a white design for the PS5. Many wish for at least a black model.
Sideplate manufacturers are trying to meet the needs of interested parties by offering side plates for the PS5 and thereby deliberately provoking Sony. Some have even been successfully sued by Sony.
This is how big the “new” PS5 is: Interested parties who have been dissatisfied with the size of the PS5 so far will likely also be with the new design. Because the modded version is about the same size as Sony’s original version.
