In Fortnite Season 6 you must hunt or you will be hunted. The stronger survives and everyone has to cope with what they find in the wilderness to properly arm themselves. In this guide, you will learn how to craft superior weapon variants.
This is new in Fortnite: Hunting and crafting your own weapons are undoubtedly the two biggest gameplay additions in this new Season 6 of Fortnite. In this season of the battle royale aptly named “Prehistoric,” you can actually upgrade your weapons using animal bones and mechanical parts.
Weapon upgrades have been around in Fortnite: Battle Royale for a while, but never has the feature been so easy to access while in-game. Gone are the upgrade benches or even special NPCs. In Season 6, weapon upgrades can be performed anywhere and anytime. Just select one of your weapons from the inventory menu and upgrade it with the required resources.
Weapon upgrades now work easily if you have the resources for it
Each weapon base is then divided into recipes, allowing you to specialize your original weapons according to your preferences! The material costs vary depending on the rarity of the variant you want to craft.
Where to find the resources?
The components you need to upgrade your gear are: animal bones and mechanical parts. You can find the bones by hunting and killing the new wild animals that inhabit the game island. A pack of wolves will obviously provide you with more resources than a chicken. To find wild animals, it’s easiest to venture into the forests and meadows, away from the hustle and bustle of the towns.
Mechanical parts can be found with certain NPCs on the island.

In the MOBA League of Legends: Wild Rift, the new patch 2.1b introduced 3 new champions. They all have unique features and strengths that make them highly useful. We at MeinMMO reveal how good they are.
What happened? With the latest patch, 3 champions have been brought into the game:
Diana, the Scorn of the Moon
Leona, the Radiant Dawn
Pantheon, the Unyielding Spear
On reddit and also on YouTube, there are already initial assessments of these three champions. They are all considered strong and will likely be ranked in A or even S-Tier for their respective roles in the Tier List.
How strong are Diana, Pantheon, and Leona in Wild Rift
How does Diana perform? On reddit, there are initial videos showcasing Diana’s potential. The user Vorikx posted a video in which he easily achieves a triple kill with her.
The video currently has 225 upvotes and sits at number 1 in the subreddit. Numerous comments are gathering under the video praising this champion, as well as the other two:
ZmentAdverti says: ‘Her combo is so easy to execute, and her well-timed abilities make it practically impossible to win a fight/teamfight against her.’
Slicc12 writes: ‘All 3 new champions feel good and so strong.’
reasonable_pan is already expecting a nerf: ‘Nerf for Diana is definitely coming!’
Diana is played as an assassin in the mid lane and has a high damage output combined with a shield. She is currently rated as an S-Tier mid laner.

How strong is Pantheon? Pantheon seems to be the weakest of the 3 champions right now, but he enters the game with an incredible amount of flexibility. In a reddit post, user Raijino explains that Pantheon can be played both in the middle and top lane, as well as in the jungle and as support.
He sees huge potential in Pantheon simply because there is still no role selection in ranked play. So, if you log in Pantheon right from the start, you can essentially adapt him flexibly, allowing you to go to any lane in the end.
As a combo, he generally recommends the following playstyle: Use “W” (ability 2) to attack the enemy, immediately strike with “Q” (ability 1) without holding down the ability, and finish with the third ability. This ensures high damage. Additionally, Pantheon can block turret attacks with his “E” (ability 3).
Based on initial assessments, Pantheon could end up in A-Tier in the mid lane and as a supporter, and slightly weaker in the top lane and jungle. In the latter, he particularly falls off due to damage in the late game.
How strong is Leona? Leona is the newest supporter and brings a lot of CC with her. This is particularly effective against the new champions Katarina and Diana.
Leona has been a popular supporter on PC for many years, and in Wild Rift she is making a good impression based on initial assessments. She is being considered an A or S-Tier supporter.
How strong her CC is can be seen in the video by reddit user Vlantimir.

What has changed for the champions? In addition to the new champions, there were also numerous balance adjustments to existing characters:
Aurelion Sol received a nerf for his passive and ultimate ability
Yasuo gets less base health and less damage from his ability “Thousand Blades”
Ziggs has been adjusted so that his ultimate ability hits a larger area, but the damage to towers has been reduced overall
Additionally, there was a buff for the supporter Soraka, who now provides more healing with Astral Infusion and has a reduced cooldown for Equinox.
Katarina, however, also a relatively new champion, did not receive a buff, even though Riot admits that the win rate is currently very low. The development in the coming weeks will determine whether there will be further adjustments.
Katarina was only released a few weeks ago in Wild Rift.
What else has changed with the patch? With Update 2.1b, the towers have been revamped. Before minute 3 in the game, the outer towers receive additional armor and magic resistance, and even more resistances when 3 or more champions are nearby. This is intended to prevent the playstyle where players want to quickly destroy a tower in overwhelming situations.
Additionally, 10 new skins have been added, which will be released gradually. The rotation of free champions has been adjusted.
March 18 to March 24: Corki, Darius, Graves, Katarina, Malphite, Nami, Shyvana, Soraka, Varus, Ziggs
March 25 to March 31: Akali, Draven, Jarvan IV, Jax, Rakan, Sona, Wukong, Xayah, Xin Zhao, Zed
For 2021, several major updates for Wild Rift are planned. In addition to regular tournaments and the release in America, the popular game mode ARAM is also set to be implemented. More about the developments in 2021 here: LoL Wild Rift is getting a new game mode in 2021 that many have wished for.

In Fortnite season 6 started now in week 1, bringing the Lara Croft challenges with it. You need to find 3 golden artifacts near The Spire. We will show you the locations of the golden llamas.
This is the task: When you start Fortnite now and look at the missions of season 6, you recognize Lara Croft there. She gives you the quest to find 3 golden artifacts. Normally, this is the job of the treasure hunter herself, but in Fortnite, it is said that her GPS is broken and that’s why she seeks your help.
We will show you exactly where you need to search. This way, the task will be no problem for you and you will quickly earn experience points.
Locations of the golden artifacts
Here you should search: The Spire is one of the new locations on the map. Due to its position in the middle of the map, you will easily find the location. It also helps that there is a large tower there. You cannot miss The Spire.
These are the locations:
Here you can find the wooden wall that you can break down
The first artifact can be found behind a wooden wall at the bottom of the round staircase that wraps around The Spire.
Artifact number 1 can be found behind the wall.
The second artifact: To find the second artifact, you need to go to the northeast of The Spire. You will find it near a staircase in an open house. Enter the hut and look in the corner. The artifact is by a pot.
Artifact number 2
The third artifact: Go to the marketplace that you find between the P and the I of “The Spire”. You will immediately notice the glowing artifact under one of the stalls.
You cannot miss the third artifact at the marketplace
Once you have collected all these artifacts, your task is done. You don’t have to do anything more. It’s best to check for enemies nearby before collecting. Since the start of season 6, The Spire has been a popular landing point in the first minutes of matches.
How do you like the new challenges from season 6? Are you having fun exploring the new locations and seeing where the quests lead you? Let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange ideas with other Fortnite players.

Mit Dark Alliance kommt ein neues Action-RPG in der berühmten Welt von Dungeons & Dragons für PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One und Xbox Series X|S. Wir konnten bereits einen ersten Blick darauf werfen und zeigen, was euch mit Dark Alliance erwartet.
Was ist das für ein ARPG? Das neue Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance ist der geistige Nachfolger zu Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance 1 und 2 (2001 und 2004). Entwickelt wird das Spiel von Wizards Studio und Tuque Games („Livelock“).
Ihr spielt einen von vier Charakteren in der Gruppe um den Drow Drizzt Do‘Urden, der bereits in den ersten Teilen eine wichtige Story-Rolle spielte. Die „Forgotten Realms“ werden von dunklen Mächten bedroht und ihr sollt dafür sorgen, dass sie ausgeschaltet werden.
Dazu zieht ihr alleine oder im dynamischen Koop mit bis zu drei weiteren Spielern in den Kampf gegen Trolle, Eis-Drachen, Betrachter („Beholder“) und mehr. Ihr schließt verschiedene Missionen ab und sammelt dabei Ausrüstung und Erfahrung, um immer stärker zu werden.
Wir von MeinMMO konnten in einer einstündigen Session bereits eine der Missionen zusammen mit Kevin Neibert, Lead Game Designer bei Tuque Games, spielen und haben einen ersten Einblick in die Mechaniken des Spiels erhalten. Kevin beantwortete uns beim Spielen auch einige Fragen.
Beachtet bitte, dass es sich dabei um eine unfertige Vorab-Version handelte, die sich zum fertigen Spiel stark unterscheiden kann.

Das ist das Gameplay: Ihr startet im Basis-Camp, von dem aus sämtliche Missionen geplant werden. Hier gibt es Händler, eine Weltkarte mit einer Übersicht aller Aufträge und einen Teleport zu den jeweiligen Leveln.
Gespielt wird Dark Alliance in dritter Person. Das hauptsächliche Gameplay besteht darin, sich durch die verschiedenen Level zu schlagen, Gegner und Bosse zu besiegen und Geheimnisse zu entdecken.
Vergleichbar ist das Spiel deswegen grob mit Warhammer: Vermintide 2, nur dass Dark Alliance auf wenige und härtere Gegner setzt statt auf riesige Horden. Viele Gegner haben besondere Fähigkeiten, sie können sich etwa besser schützen oder Verbündete stärken.
Auf diese Weise ist es wichtig, zu planen, welchen Gegner ihr wann tötet. Immer wieder tauchen kleine Mini-Bosse wie Trolle auf, die einen härteren Kampf liefern.
Eis-Trolle sind die Mini-Bosse, die wir beim Spielen in unserer Mission getroffen haben.
Das ist besonders gut gelungen: Dark Alliance legt einen großen Wert auf das Kampf-System. Je nachdem in welche Richtung ihr euch bewegt, werden eure Angriffe anders ausgeführt. Bewegt ihr euch etwa nach hinten bei einem Angriff, nutzen die meisten Charaktere eine eher ausweichende Bewegung – mit Ausnahme von Wulfgar, der sich als Berserker nicht zurückzieht, sondern stets näher zu seinen Feinden will.
Dazu gibt es verschiedene Combos, wenn die Angriffe aneinandergereiht werden, mit denen ihr Gegner effizienter erledigen könnt. Außerdem könnt ihr, ähnlich wie in Dark Souls, gegnerische Angriffe blocken und sogar parieren, um ihre Deckung für starke Angriffe zu öffnen.
Was ist Dungeons & Dragons? Das Rollenspiel von Wizards of the Coast erschien erstmals 1974 (1983 in Deutschland) und gehört zu den bekanntesten Vertretern des Genres. Es handelt sich dabei eigentlich um ein Pen&Paper, das mit namensgebenden Stiften und Papier an einem Tisch gespielt wird.
Spieler nutzen dabei ihren „Charakterbogen“ und erleben ein Abenteuer, das vom Spielleiter erzählt wird. Angriffe, Schaden und Fähigkeiten werden mit verschiedenen Würfeln (auch dem berühmten „W20“) ausgewürfelt.
Dungeons & Dragons, oder kurz D&D, hat über die Jahre viele verschiedene Videospiel-Adaptionen erhalten. Die wohl bekanntesten davon dürften Baldur‘s Gate, Dungeons & Dragons Online und Neverwinter sein.
Koop, Klassen und ganz viel Fortschritt
Das sind die Features: In Dark Alliance stehen euch vier Charaktere zur Auswahl mit ihren eigenen Fähigkeiten. Jeder dieser Charaktere verkörpert dabei eine Klasse aus dem Rollenspiel:
Drizzt Do‘Urden (Schurke): Ein Drow, der mit zwei Kurzschwertern bewaffnet mit schnellen und hinterhältigen Angriffen im Nahkampf kämpft.
Wulfgar (Barbar): Ein Mensch, der sich vor allem auf rohe Stärke und seine Zweihandwaffen verlässt, um Gegner mit starken Angriffen zu vernichten.
Cattie-brie (Waldläufer): Eine menschliche Waldläuferin, die aus der Distanz mit Pfeil und Bogen kämpft, Gegner kontrollieren und ihre Verbündeten heilen kann.
Bruenor (Kämpfer): Ein Zwerg und der „Tank“ der Gruppe, kämpft mit Axt und Schild im Nahkampf und kann Gegner davon abhalten, die restliche Gruppe anzugreifen.
Jeder dieser Charaktere kommt mit eigenen Fähigkeiten, die das Spiel über stärker werden sowie ultimative Fähigkeiten, die nach einer längeren Auflade-Zeit im Kampf aktiviert werden können. Ihr werdet keine eigenen Charaktere erstellen können, aber dürft jeden der vier Charaktere spielen mit eigenen Fortschritten.
Ausrüstung kommt in Form von Sets aus je acht Teilen, die allesamt bestimmte Eigenschaften und Set-Boni haben – etwa Verstärkung bestimmter Fähigkeiten oder Resistenzen. Je nach gespielter Schwierigkeit der Mission und Seltenheit des Sets wird diese stärker.
Koop ist ein wichtiger Aspekt in Dark Alliance. Hier nehmen es Drizzt Do’Urden und Cattie-brie mit ein paar Verbeeg auf.
Wie funktioniert Koop? Dark Alliance könnt ihr entweder alleine oder in einer Gruppe von bis zu vier Spielern spielen. Dabei passt sich die Schwierigkeit der Gegner dynamisch an die Gruppengröße an, ähnlich wie in Diablo 3.
Jede Mission kann deswegen auch alleine gespielt werden, ohne dabei deutlich im Nachteil zu sein. Die Charaktere können sich untereinander unterstützen, indem sie Gegner betäuben oder die Gruppe heilen. Synergien wie ineinandergreifende Elemente, etwa einfrieren und zerschmettern, gibt es allerdings nicht.
Die Beute wird persönlich verteilt, Gruppenmitglieder können euch also nichts wegschnappen. Bestimmte Items wie Währungen oder Lore-Gegenstände werden in der Gruppe geteilt, sodass sie jeder aufheben kann.
Jede Mission ist eine eigenständige, abgeschlossene Story, die lose mit den anderen zusammenhängt, und bietet einen Bosskampf am Ende. Wiederspielwert erhalten die Level durch höhere Schwierigkeitsgrade und immer stärkere Beute.
Das Gefühl des Rollenspiels ist in Dark Alliance stark adaptiert worden. Ihr zieht nicht einfach los und tötet Monster, sondern habt stets ein Ziel und einen Fortschritt in Form von besseren Waffen, Rüstungen oder Fähigkeiten.
Missionen bringt euch und euren Charakter weiter, indem ihr Ausrüstung am Ende der Mission erhaltet, Erfahrung sammelt und neue Aufträge freischaltet. Verstecke Geheimnisse und Rätsel in den Levels bieten zusätzliche Beute oder Lore zur Welt.
Die Schwierigkeit kann in sechs verschiedenen Graden und in den einzelnen Missionen zusätzlich angepasst werden. Nach einem Kampf habt ihr die Möglichkeit zu einer „kurzen Rast“, meist bis zu fünfmal pro Mission.
Entscheidet ihr euch für eine Rast, werden eure Lebenspunkte und Tränke wieder aufgefüllt. Außerdem dient die Rast dann als Respawn-Punkt, solltet ihr in einem Kampf unterliegen. Entscheidet ihr euch dagegen, bleibt ihr geschwächt, aber die Gegner hinterlassen mehr Beute.
Gegner und Bosse belohnen euch mit besserer Beute, wenn ihr es euch schwieriger macht.
Release und Plattformen
Wann und wo erscheint Dark Alliance? Der Release von Dark Alliance ist für den 22. Juni 2021 angesetzt. Das ARPG erscheint auf PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One und Xbox Series X. Auf der offiziellen Website DarkAlliance.com könnt ihr das Spiel bereits vorbestellen.
Die digitale Standard-Edition kostet 39,99 €. Die digitale Deluxe-Edition sowie das Steelbook kosten jeweils 59,99 € und beinhalten jeweils die kommende Erweiterung „Echoes of the Blood War“ sowie kosmetische Gegenstände.
Wer sollte sich Dark Alliance ansehen? Im Anschluss an die Session beantwortete uns Kevin Neibert noch einige Fragen. Auf die Frage, wer sich Dark Alliance ansehen sollte, nannte er zwei Gruppen an Spielern:
D&D-Fans, die das Tabletop oder andere D&D-Spiele spielen, weil Dark Alliance „sehr authentisch“ sei und auf die Lore sowie die Regelbücher des Rollenspiels aufbaue
Spieler, die nie D&D gespielt haben und die ein action-orientiertes Koop-Spiel mit ihren Freunden spielen möchten
Today, on March 16, 2021, the Spotlight Hour with Voltoball starts in Pokémon GO. We will show you the Stardust bonuses and the Shiny.
What kind of event is this? Every Tuesday evening, the Spotlight Hour (in English “Spotlight Hour”) takes place in Pokémon GO. However, every week the Pokémon in the spotlight changes. The bonuses that are active during the event rotate from week to week. During the event hour, almost all spawns in the wild are limited to the event Pokémon.
Today, on March 16, the Pokémon Voltoball from the first generation is in the spotlight. Here on MeinMMO, we show you the important information you need for the event.
Spotlight with Voltoball – All Info
When does it start? As usual, the Spotlight Hour begins today at 6:00 PM. The event is active for one hour and should, if all goes according to plan, end at 7:00 PM.
These bonuses are active: During the event, you will find Voltoball almost everywhere in the wild of Pokémon GO. This fits well with the Electric Event, which has been active in the game since today. For you, the hour in the evening is a good opportunity if you still need Pokémon or Shinies for the collection.
As a special bonus, you will also receive double Stardust for catching Pokémon in the game. Since this dust is one of the most sought-after resources for trainers, Spotlight Hours with this bonus always have many participants.
Is there a Shiny Voltoball? Yes. At the latest since the big Kanto Tour in February, you can catch all Shinies from the 1st generation in Pokémon GO anyway. But Voltoball has existed in its shiny form for a longer time. The Shiny returned to the game with the Safari Zone in Philadelphia. In the following image, you see Shiny Voltoball and its evolution Lektroball.
The Shinies of Voltoball and Lektroball differ significantly from the “normal” version – they are blue instead of red
How good are Voltoball and Lektroball?
Why you should take advantage of the event: Voltoball is primarily worth it for those of you who are still looking for the Shiny variant. As an attacker, it is quite neglectable.
For Lektroball, the worthwhile uses are also limited. Only in the Great League can you rely on it if you really don’t have any other Electric Pokémon. But there are enough strong alternatives that make Lektroball look old. Take a look at the best attackers in Pokémon GO, sorted by type.
If you are looking for reasons to participate in today’s Spotlight Hour, you should hold on to the Shinies and the increased Stardust. Important attackers for your Pokémon collection won’t be caught here today. But if you are participating and collecting Stardust, then it’s best to activate a Star Piece to increase your yield.
Are you participating in today’s Spotlight Hour or are you skipping the event this time? Let us know your reasons here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange ideas with other trainers.

In Destiny 2, the toughest PvE challenge of Season 13 begins: the Grandmaster difficulty of the Nightfall. How do you participate and what is the reward for the pain?
This challenge is about: Destiny 2 lets Guardians sweat starting today. On March 16, the Nightfall: Grandmaster goes live. This is a particularly difficult version of the renowned Nightfall Strikes, which also lure with exclusive weapons and a prestigious title that can now even be gilded.
The Grandmaster difficulty is not new and always goes live later in a season. The mode was originally conceived by Bungie as the PvE counterpart to the Trials, specifically catering to streamers who enjoy suffering on camera.
In Season 13, the changes to loot are meant to refresh the playlist. However, anyone planning an outing should know what they are getting into.
Nightfall: Grandmaster – This is the currently hardest PvE mode of Destiny 2
This is why it’s so difficult:
The power level for the Nightfall: Grandmaster sits at 1,350.
To even participate, you must have a level of 1,325 (with artifact).
The maximum regular power level of gear in Season 13 is 1,310. So, you are inevitably required to push your artifact significantly. But no matter how much you grind, in Grandmaster, your effective power is always capped at 1,325 – Bungie calls this competitive mode.
Additionally, more than 10 modifiers at once ensure that enemies deal more damage, more champions appear, you cannot change your loadouts during the mission, you have limited respawns, and so on…
Each of the 6 strikes that receive Grandmaster difficulty in Season 13 has handpicked modifiers.
There is of course no automatic matchmaking – you have to find 2 other Guardians yourself.
If you’ve already dismissed this mode due to level requirements, hold on! Starting April 20, all 6 strikes will be active at once. You can then catch up on the missions that you are not strong enough for yet.
A rather torturous experience awaits. The numerous champions require well-coordinated equipment from your fireteam. You should be able to defeat all 3 champion types, otherwise, you will hardly progress on this difficulty. Alternatively, you might try using invisibility, but without fighting the annoying enemies, your chances of exclusive loot drop significantly.
Master weapons are the loot carrot in front of your nose
These weapons await: In the normal Nightfall, 3 playlist weapons rotate weekly (in the title image). Only through the Grandmaster difficulty can you get these as master versions (also called adept weapons). Elsewhere in PvE, there are none of these special weapons. Only in the Trials are there master weapons – however, the trials were discontinued after just one day.
The 3 master weapons of the Nightfall:
The Palindrome: 140 hand cannon with void damage
Shadow Price: 450 auto rifle with arc damage
The Swarm: 360 heavy machine gun with arc damage
The Palindrome with the master shader
It is currently unknown whether all 3 weapons are in the loot pool or whether only the weekly weapon from the normal Nightfall can be obtained. The drop of a master weapon is also not guaranteed when you complete the Grandmaster, but again, nothing is officially confirmed. As always, if you achieve platinum in the mission, your loot chances increase.
What advantages do master weapons bring?
As a fully leveled masterwork, the weapon receives +10 on one stat (like every weapon) and +3 on the other stats.
An exclusive shader, which only the master version possesses.
Access to special master mods like “Master Range” (+10 range) or “Master Icarus” (+5 range and better accuracy in the air) – the mods are only available from the Nightfall on Grandmaster and the Trials of Osiris.
The base stat values and perk pool are identical between the normal and master versions. However, as a masterwork and through the special mods, the hard-earned rewards have noticeable advantages. Not to mention, the weapons are prestigious items that not many Guardians should earn.
This also shows off: As in the past, you can only earn the title “Conqueror” through Grandmaster completions. You then wear it proudly above your character’s head, so everyone in the Tower can see what a tough cookie you are. You must complete all 6 featured strikes on Grandmaster before Season 13 ends in May 2021.
To make it even more decadent, you can now gild the title in Season 13. To do this, you need to unlock the Conqueror title once and then complete additional tasks.
At the end of the season, this resets and you will have to sweat again next season. As a thank you, you will receive a number next to the gilded title, indicating how many times you have gone through the torture:
The Hunter here is a gilded Conqueror in a square
Have you already leveled up diligently, refined your loadouts, and are you ready for Grandmaster? Or do you still need to pump up your Guardian a bit to take on the challenge? What do you think of gilded titles and master weapons? Would such a Guardian impress you in the Tower? Let us know in the comments.
Season 6 of Fortnite: Battle Royale brings new features, including wild animals. You have several options: team up with them for tactical advantages or hunt them for resources.
Current happenings in Fortnite: Season 6 of Fortnite Chapter 2 has finally started. The new season “Primal” focuses on a very wild island. And with such a name, the environment of the Battle Royale had to be spiced up a bit. After sharks and fish, various land animals are now making their appearance. So you need to awaken the hunter within you!
What animals are there in Fortnite? Currently, four animals are available:
the wolf,
the wild boar,
the chicken
and the frog.
From the Battle Pass trailer, we already know that you can glide through the air with chickens, similar to Link in several works of the Zelda saga. The wolf can follow you once tamed, to assist you in battle.
These are the 4 new animals you can find on the map
What the new animals can do: If you are not afraid, you can also hunt them. If you kill them, you will receive some resources from these new animals, including bones, stinky sacks, or meat. They all have different effects, ranging from simple health regeneration to crafting various weapons.
Where to find the animals? It’s up to you to decide how to utilize them to make them a real advantage in the game. As for their location, these wild animals can be found all over the Battle Royale island, but of course, a frog will be found near a body of water, while the wild boar or wolf will prefer forests and wooded areas.

Bringing resources home in Valheim can be quite tedious. However, some players have now found a method that makes it easier – even without portals. It looks cool … and pretty ridiculous at the same time.
What is this method? It’s quite simple: You spear a friend with a harpoon while they are pulling a cart and then board your ship. When you set sail and move across the water, the speared friend along with the cart gets dragged behind you.
The cart can be as full as it can get. Your friend will not lose stamina and won’t drown. This way, you can pull them even over long distances. Both players need to activate PvP for this. We tested it and it works flawlessly.
By the way, the ship should not necessarily be a raft, as that is too slow. Generally, we recommend building a karve instead of a raft – the investment is worth it.
The players who discovered this method also showcase it in a short video. They call it “water skiing” and indeed the cart on the rope behind the longship resembles water skiing:

Isn’t that dangerous? Yes, a little bit. There are several factors you should consider with this method:
If your ship is too fast, like a longship at full speed, the rope will snap.
The harpooner’s stamina must not be completely drained, or the rope will snap as well.
In the ocean, you can be attacked by sea serpents, making the harpooned player an easy target.
What is the ocean? Oceans are one of the biomes in Valheim. Biomes refer to areas where certain resources, enemies, and environments appear. They are often used in survival games to delineate the presence of resources.
Currently, there are six playable biomes in Valheim and three more that are still under development. One of those, the mistlands, will arrive with one of the next updates.
If the rope snaps, you can simply turn the ship around and spear your friend again. Since the player is not actively swimming, they can stay in place without drowning.
A large stamina bar is useful for you and plenty of health points for your friend. You achieve this with the right food. Here on MeinMMO you can find the best food in Valheim and how to make it.
Where can I get the harpoon? The Abyssal Harpoon is a special weapon that you can obtain in the ocean. Leviathans spawn there, from which you have to harvest chitin. The harpoon itself deals little damage but pulls your target behind you.
How can I use this further? In our test, we found that the harpoon and cart also work on land. Since you are generally faster as the harpooner, you can even pull your friend a little on land to save their stamina – especially with a very full cart.
The MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online (PC, PS4/PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S) is an enormous game. We would like to introduce you to a few things that are hidden within it, which you might not know about yet.
We have categorized the 7 things that you probably didn’t know about ESO into three categories: game mechanics, story, and easter eggs. Under each category we will present some of our findings.
Game Mechanics
The Quick Hop: The quick jump is something that is usually triggered by accident because some players don’t even realize that this is an active game mechanic and how they can use it. The Quick Hop is really quite useful. Especially in the PvP of the MMORPG, where your position plays an important role, this jump gives you advantages.
The advantage of the Quick Hop is that you can jump with the speed that your character had when he started hopping. Because with a regular jump, you lose a part of your speed. Also, you maintain your defense stance or can jump into an attack position.
This is how you perform the Quick Hop:
First, start a speed buff
Then, run
Now jump and press the block button simultaneously
This takes some practice, and success also depends on the terrain you are on.

Stealing from Scrabbloons: You can find Scrabbloons in ESO in the southern part of the Black Marsh region, in the Murky Moor. They are a type of living plant that resembles a beetle. The large specimens are aggressive and will attack you. When danger approaches, the little Scrabbloons quickly dig themselves in. Therefore, it’s not so easy to approach them.
However, if you sneak up to a small Scrabblon and it doesn’t notice you, it is indeed possible to steal from it. The following items can be obtained:
Honey
Alchemy Slime
Tame Scrabblon for your house
Tips for Slopes: If you want to climb a steeper slope or prevent your character from sliding down a hillside, then run at such places while holding the block button. This will make you move slower, but the chance of slipping is much lower, making climbing easier.
M’aiq the Liar: The Khajiit appears not only in the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online in various locations throughout the game world, providing quirky sayings. He is an NPC who also appears in TES 3: Morrowind, TES 4: Oblivion, and TES 5: Skyrim.
This means that M’aiq must actually be around 1,000 years old, since ESO takes place long before the other parts of the series. However, he claims that all his ancestors were also named M’aiq, which could be a lie. Because he spreads lies in all the games, which has given him his nickname and causes confusion.
Or is M’aiq perhaps a kind of god who observes the actions of players and enjoys causing a bit of chaos?

The plump Argonian Maid: This refers to an erotic book series that, like the NPC M’aiq, appears in several games of the Elder Scrolls series. You can find the tomes in TES 3: Morrowind at a corpse and at several locations in TES 4: Oblivion. They can also be discovered in TES 5: Skyrim.
The book recounts an erotic chamber play with numerous sayings and phrases that are clearly double-entendre. Among them are the following:
Lift-Her-Tail: My goodness, that is quite a thick loaf! How is that supposed to fit in my oven?
Crantius Colto: Cleaning, yes? I have something for you. Here, you can polish my spear.
Easter Eggs
Planet from Star Wars in Vvardenfell: You can find a reference to the planet Mustafar from Star Wars: Episode 3 – Revenge of the Sith. You will discover this Easter egg in the Ramimilk Cave in Vvardenfell.
Cross the cave
You come across a large lava lake
Cross this lava lake
On the other side you will find a charred corpse that is still smoldering
This is a small reference to Anakin Skywalker, who in Star Wars: Episode 3 lay badly injured on the edge of a lava lake on Mustafar after his duel with Obi-Wan Kenobi and then caught fire.

Deathclaw from Fallout in Tamriel: Are The Elder Scrolls and Fallout maybe somehow connected? One might come to that conclusion when entering the Deathclaw Cave. You can find this on the island of Ödfels. Before the cave sits poor Hoknir, who lost a leg in a fight with the monster.
Upon entering the cave, you will have to fight the Deathclaw. This monster is a reference to the Fallout series, where you frequently encounter these creatures. In ESO, however, the monsters can fly, whereas in Fallout they only run along the ground – which does not make them any less dangerous.
And which of the curious things on this list did you already know? Let us know in the comments, or tell us what funny stuff you have come across! If you want to share more of your opinion, feel free to participate in our survey about your favorite dungeon in ESO.

The raid bosses of Pokémon GO have changed again today, on March 16, 2021. We will tell you which ones are worth it and which you can safely ignore.
What’s new?Along with the Electric event new raid bosses for levels 1, 3, and the Mega bosses appeared in Pokémon GO on March 16. In level 5, Voltolos can still be found.
We will tell you which new Pokémon have entered the raids and why some of them are worth it.
All current raid bosses in March 2021
You can see this here: In the following table, we will initially list all the bosses that you currently find in Pokémon GO. Bosses that we marked with a star (*) can also be caught as Shiny. To see the shimmering form, you have to be lucky after defeating them.
Raid Level
Raid Bosses
1
Voltobal* Sheinux* Elezeba Klikk* Zapplardin
3
Alola-Raichu* Alola-Georok Magneton Ampharos*
5
Voltolos (Therian Form)
Mega
Mega-Voltenso* Mega-Hundemon* Mega-Rexblisar*
Counters for Voltolos
Voltolos belongs to the Electric and Flying types. It is therefore particularly vulnerable to attackers of the Ice and Rock types.
Which raids you should do now depends mainly on your goals. Overall, however, the selection is weak this time, also because many of the strongest Electric attackers are not present in the raids:
Voltolos receives new abilities in its Therian form, as the first players have found out on reddit. This could give it a place on the list of the best Electric attackers.
With Voltobal, Alola-Raichu, Ampharos, and Voltenso, there are some Shinys to complete your collection.
In the coming weeks, there will be a lot happening in the game. The developers have already announced that several events will take place. From spotlight hours to new raid bosses to multi-day bonuses.
In Fortnite: Battle Royale ist Season 6 Kapitel 2 gestartet! Passend dazu ist nach der Nullpunktkrise einiges auf der Map verändert worden. Wir von MeinMMO zeigen euch, was es Neues auf der Karte und in der Spielwelt von Fortnite gibt.
Das ist los in Fortnite: Der Start von Season 6 ist nach einer längeren Server-Downtime endlich da und damit auch einige Veränderungen am Spiel. Fortnite steht nun im Thema Urzeit und somit hat sich auch einiges an der Map verändert. Mit dem Start kamen noch dazu:
Die Kristallwüste ist verschwunden, doch jetzt gibt es dort neue Orte
Der Umriss der Map ist zwar gleich geblieben, doch in der Mitte, wo die Kristallwüste war, gibt es jetzt neue Orte zu entdecken. Diese werden mit Fragezeichen markiert, bis ihr sie selbst besucht und entdeckt habt.
3 neue Orte auf der Fortnite-Map in Season 6
Season 6 startete gleich mit einem Event, das für Chaos auf der Map sorgte. Agent Jones konnte den Zero-Point zwar aufhalten, doch jetzt befindet er sich in einem großen Turm mitten auf der Map. Das Ereignis schickte die Map in die Urzeit zurück – was sich auf die Umgebung um den Zero-Point auswirkte. Dazu kamen jetzt 3 neue Orte, die ihr erkunden könnt.
Neuer Ort: The Spire
Was ist das für ein Ort? The Spire befindet sich jetzt auf der Mitte der Karte und hat den Platz der Kristallwüste aus Season 5 eingenommen. Das Highlight ist der große Turm, in dem sich der Zero-Point nun befindet. Dazu ist der Turm von einigen Gebäuden umgeben.
Dieser neue Ort bietet einige Loot-Möglichkeiten, könnte aber wegen seiner zentralen Lage einige Gegner anlocken. Nehmt euch also in Acht, wenn ihr den Ort gleich zum Start erkunden wollt.
Was ist das für ein neuer Ort? Colossal Crops ist eine Mischung aus dem Coliseum und einem Ort, der an ein bisschen an Fatal Fields erinnert. Von dem Coliseum ist zwar nicht mehr viel übrig, doch man sieht noch die Steinwände, die heruntergerissen wurden.
Sonst wirkt der neue Ort eher wie eine Farm, so wie man sie schon aus alten Zeiten in Fortnite kennt. Dieser Ort könnte also einige anlocken, die ein bisschen in Nostalgie schwelgen möchten. Beobachtet außerdem das große Eingangstor gut. Im Battle-Pass-Trailer zu Season 6 wird demonstriert, wie man mit einer Waffe leicht aufs Tor kommt.

Neuer Ort: Boney Burbs
Was ist das für ein neuer Ort? Boney Burbs ersetzt nun den Ort, der sich vorher Salty Towers nannte. Das ursprüngliche Salty Springs, das uns 14 Seasons lang begleitet hatte, bekam nun also wieder ein Makeover. An diesem neuen Ort merkt man, dass die Urzeit eingebrochen ist. Die Häuser sind eher unstabil gebaut und es werden wohl Gemüse und Früchte selbst angebaut.
Boney Burbs bietet zwar nicht viele Gebäude, die ihr looten könnt, doch dafür gibt es verschiedene Materialien, die ihr dort fleißig sammeln könnt. Zu Beginn könntet ihr aber dort einige Gegner antreffen, die den Ort ebenfalls erkunden wollen.

Es gibt sicher noch weitere unbenannte Orte, die sich auf der Map verändert haben. Diese werden in der nächsten Zeit entdeckt. Wir werden den Artikel für euch ergänzen, falls es größere Änderungen gibt, die noch gefunden werden.
Das Event hat auf der Map wohl einiges angerichtet. Ihr könnt jetzt euch jetzt also auf Entdeckungstour begehen – vielleicht findet ihr auch die Tiere, die jetzt auf der Map vorzufinden sind. Es bleibt spannend, wie sich die Map im Verlauf der Season 6 noch verändern wird. Wie findet ihr die neue Map von Season 6? Habt ihr schon einige versteckte Orte gefunden? Teilt es uns doch in den Kommentaren mit.

The WoW city of Thunder Bluff looks so good in the Unreal Engine that you might mistake it for a real place. You should see for yourself.
Now and then, we report that some fans of World of Warcraft are recreating the world of Azeroth in other areas. The aim is to implement various locations in the Unreal Engine. However, hardly any of these projects are as convincing as the one by Aleksandr Timoshenko.
What has he built? On reddit , some pictures of Aleksandr Timoshenko’s project were posted. He attempted to replicate Thunder Bluff, the capital of the Tauren in World of Warcraft, as accurately as possible. You can see how convincing the result is in these pictures.
Thunder Bluff in Unreal – unrealistically beautiful.
The large totem as the center of Thunder Bluff.
Especially in direct comparison with the images from World of Warcraft, it can be seen how painstakingly detailed the work was and how fantastic it actually looks.
In direct comparison …
… the details stand out particularly well.
This is how players react: In the WoW subreddit, players are excited and praise not only the many details but also the high degree of realism. Several players explain that these images could easily serve as a basis for a live-action film adaptation of Warcraft.
Impressive details create a damn good image.
However, there is also some criticism. A few voices say that Thunder Bluff could use a bit more color to truly represent how it appears in WoW. The images seem a bit “desaturated” and thus miss the rather warm style of Thunder Bluff somewhat.
Long tradition of projects: Already numerous fans have tried to recreate different parts of Azeroth in other games or applications. You can find some of the coolest implementations here:
Here you will find the new Battle Pass of Season 6, Chapter 2 in Fortnite. We will show you all the skins, emotes, pickaxes, and content that you can unlock after purchase.
This is Season 6: The new Season 6 in Fortnite started with a solo event, after which the map changed. With the new season came the new Battle Pass.
The Battle Pass costs 950 V-Bucks as usual. If you decide to make a purchase, you will have to complete 100 tiers where there are various rewards. Included are new skins, emotes, gliders, and more. Additionally, there are V-Bucks which you can then use for the next Battle Pass.
Additionally, there are more secret skins and style options that can be unlocked later in the season. How do you like the new content of the Battle Pass in Season 6? Is there something interesting for you, or would you have liked something different?
Let us know in the comments and exchange ideas with other players.

The new Battle Pass of Season 6 (Patch 16.00) in Fortnite is here. In the trailer, you can see some of the highlights of the Battle Pass. Which skin do you like best?
What’s new: On March 16, Season 6 started in Fortnite: Battle Royale. For this, Patch 16.00 was implemented, which brought some changes to the game. As usual, a new season in Fortnite also comes with a new Battle Pass. We will show you what content you can find in it in the Battle Pass trailer for Season 6.
In it, you will see familiar characters like
Lara Croft
Raven from the Teen Titans
The soccer star Neymar will also be part of Season 6, but he is not featured in the trailer yet. For now, we are embedding a Battle Pass trailer here that someone filmed. The official version from Fortnite has not been released yet. As soon as it is available, we will update the video here in the article.

The trailer shows: First, there’s a look at the revamped map. You will now find new, named locations there. Additionally, wild animals such as wolves and boars roam around. As we already know from the Patch Notes for Season 6, you can tame the animals.
The Battle Pass trailer also demonstrates further uses of the animals. Like chickens, which a player uses to fall lightly. He holds the chicken in both hands over his head and jumps down a mountain. Because the chicken flutters, he falls much slower.
New weapons like bone rifles will also come into play. Lara Croft holds a bow in the video. The bows are supposed to shoot flames and be tactical as well. This is well demonstrated by a bow shot, which a player uses to pull himself up onto a gate.
The bow is also used to shoot while driving from a car.
How do you like the new content from Season 6 of Chapter 2 in Fortnite? Let us know in the comments whether you like the trailer for the Battle Pass and which skin you like best.

Map Changes
When you now enter the map of Fortnite, you will immediately notice some changes. The landscape looks, fitting to the theme, prehistoric and untouched. In the center of the map, you will find the location “The Spire,” which is surrounded by a village. There stands a huge pillar, and around it are old stone houses.
The approach to The Spire – This is what the new location in Fortnite looks like
Other new locations are Colossal Crops and Boney Burbs. The 3 new locations on the map are presented in more detail in a separate article.
Mysterious towers stand on the edge of the prehistoric landscape. The so-called “Guardian Towers” are guarded by mysterious forces.
This is what the new map of Fortnite looks like in season 6
New Weapons from Bones in Season 6
If you want, you can now build your own weapons in Fortnite. To do this, you can use animal and mechanical parts that were spared by the massive shockwave.
A look at the new weapons of season 6 in chapter 2 at Fortnite
Weapons from the Vault and into the Vault
You already know this from previous seasons. When a big update is about to take place in Fortnite, some weapons are first taken out of the game and locked in the vault. Others are then brought back. We first show you which weapons are no longer in the game at the start of season 6:
All pistols
All heavy assault rifles
Suppressed SMG
Dragon’s Breath Shotgun (Epic/Legendary)
Tactical Shotgun
Charge Shotgun
Lever Action Shotgun
Lever Action Rifle (Uncommon/Rare/Epic)

In the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online, there are different types of damage. In this article, we from MeinMMO explain what direct damage is.
What is direct damage? Basically, this refers to the damage you inflict directly with an ability, for example, through an attack, strike, or spell. This includes both light and heavy attacks.
Direct damage thus differs from damage over time, also known as DoT (Damage over Time). This does not occur directly, but rather gradually. Examples of such effects include curses or bleedings.
Direct damage or damage over time are independent of Magicka and Stamina, physical or magical damage. There are also abilities in AoE attacks that add direct damage but also damage over time.
Interestingly, the first damage caused by a DoT is often also considered direct damage.
ESO itself explains the damage system poorly
Where exactly can I see what applies to which ability? To this day, the developers at ZeniMax have not created a precise overview of which attribute applies to which ability.
In-game, there is a distinction between damage in white text (direct damage) and orange text (damage over time). However, there is ongoing criticism because the in-game distinction is not accurate or overlooks the fact that the first damage of a DoT is considered direct damage.
The player Solinur from Europe has compiled a list of all abilities in Google Docs. This is somewhat outdated, but still provides a good overview:
Abilities that scale with “Master-at-Arms” deal direct damage
Abilities that scale with Thaumaturge deal damage over time.
In the forum, players also recommend wearing the Nerien’eth set to be absolutely sure how an ability works. This set creates a light crystal whenever you deal direct damage.
In Fortnite, Season 6 has begun with an unusual solo event. The finale of Season 5 took us through a wild mission with Agent Jones. Here you can see how the Zero Point Crisis ended.
The start of Season 6, or rather the end of Season 5, runs a bit differently than usual. Because once again there was a large event in Fortnite that initiated the season change – with the difference that this time everyone plays solo.
So there was no big live environment. Instead, all players experience the event solo as soon as they enter Season 6 for the first time.
The premiere of the event was on March 16, 2021, at 9:00 AM. Here we tell you what happened in the event.
Warning! From here on, there are spoilers for the event at the start of Season 6. If you want to experience the event and the solo mission yourself without prior knowledge, stop reading here.
Several teasers in the past few days had shown that the Zero Point in Fortnite was becoming increasingly unstable – and Agent Jones was not happy about it at all. At the start of Season 6, the “Zero Point Crisis” then reached its preliminary peak.
A huge chaos erupted, in which several skins like the Predator, the Alien, Ripley, and more engaged in battle. Agent Jones fought his way through the chaos towards the Zero Point – until “The Foundation” appeared. This character picked up Jones to close the emerging portals and stabilize the Zero Point. At this point, the solo mission with Agent Jones started.
This is what happens in the solo mission: Again a reminder: There are spoilers. This mission can be experienced by anyone starting in Season 6 for the first time.
The mission starts with you and Agent Jones. The agent wants to close the portals – but a reality wave transforms him into a well-known little light butterfly. As a result, it is now up to you to take care of the portals.
You are not always yourself when you close the portals
Reality waves repeatedly break through, transforming you into other characters. Among other things, you will become a fighting chicken. At the same time, you encounter some obstacles, such as a fight between two towers and a helicopter trying to make your life difficult.
The Zero Point is blooming
But with the help of the reality waves, you reach your goal and close the portals. Now the Zero Point blooms in a kind of bloom – and you head to the center of the action. There is “the Foundation”, trying to stabilize the point. The mission ends in a flash of light – and a change of the map.
A new beginning for Season 6
The island has changed significantly – among other things, the huge desert in the center has disappeared. In its place, there is now a tower on which the Zero Point sits. The new Season 6 is themed “Prehistoric” – accordingly, many things on the map will have adapted.
After the mission ends, players can now freshly start in Season 6. How it will unfold in terms of gameplay remains to be seen. YouTuber SypherPK, however, had some thoughts on what Fortnite should do differently in Season 6.

GTA 5 Online has been struggling with long loading times for years. However, these are set to be significantly improved with an upcoming update. The patch comes from Rockstar, but the solution is from a player who has also been richly rewarded for it.
What happened? Rockstar has confirmed to PCGamer that a fan has found the solution to the annoying loading time issue. It could take 10 to 15 minutes during an online session.
The Github user tostercx, also known as t0st, claims to have developed a fix that can reduce wait times by up to 70%. You could already download and add this fix to the game (via Github), but parts of it are soon to be officially integrated into the game.
Rockstar said:
After a thorough investigation, we can confirm that the player t0st has indeed uncovered an aspect of the game code regarding loading times for the PC version of GTA Online that could be improved.
As a result of this investigation, we have made some changes that will be implemented in an upcoming title update. […] and we would like to thank him again for his efforts.
What is behind the fix? For those interested in the technical side of the solution, there is a detailed documentation on nee.lv.
Essentially, it was primarily about the slowdown being triggered by a “CPU bottleneck when starting GTA Online”.
In Call of Duty: Warzone, positions on roofs are very popular and extremely strong. If you want to take over a roof, it often comes with a lot of risks and coordination. However, there is a trick that can save you a lot of trouble.
Elevated positions are strong in Call of Duty: Warzone. Teams that have taken the “High Ground” often have an advantage over the enemies below them.
Soldiers in the Battle Royale are always looking for ways to efficiently clear roofs, and reddit has now discovered a really strong tactic to rid the roofs of many tall buildings of camper infestations.
What is this trick? It is a combination of using a killstreak along with a rather unpopular rocket launcher. You drive the enemies with the streak and finish them off with the JOKR launcher. MeinMMO shows you how to do it and what else the JOKR can do.
The JOKR is a surprisingly good tool against campers
How does the trick work exactly? To execute the tactic, you need 3 requirements:
A roof with campers that only has a staircase as access
The JOKR rocket launcher at the ready
A cluster strike or precision airstrike
Once you’ve spotted the campers, you should find out what structure the roof has. Ideally, roofs that only have one access via a staircase are best. Generally, the trick also works if there are multiple staircases. However, it may be that you do not catch the whole team. Furthermore, the staircase must be structured so that you can look up from the bottom to the very top.
Take the JOKR in hand, stand at the bottom of the staircase, and place a cluster or precision air strike directly in front of you on the ground. The enemies on the roof will now receive a warning that a killstreak is incoming. Since there are often no good cover options for fire from above on the roofs, there is a good chance that the roof campers will barricade themselves in the staircase.
If you hear that your killstreak is about to hit, aim the JOKR straight up into the staircase and lock onto one of the enemies. After firing, the rocket goes straight up and hits the roof of the staircase. The impacts of the JOKR take out enemies within a 5-meter radius with full armor (600 damage), and the chances are good that you will wipe the entire camper team off the map.
A reddit clip shows the tactic in action:

JOKR is a powerful tool that unfortunately can be used too rarely
What else can the JOKR do? The rocket launcher is an exciting weapon in Warzone, but often it is not worth taking one along.
Such situations are too rare when the launcher can actually show its full strengths. The anti-tank system is actually a powerful anti-camper tool, but that’s all it is. A normal weapon as a secondary weapon or another launcher that works better against vehicles usually helps you more.
Nevertheless, it might be worth taking the JOKR with you if you often find yourself in situations where campers at higher positions are giving you a hard time. Because the JOKR is virtually a mini-cluster strike without the corresponding impact warning.
Again, reddit provides a good example of when the JOKR can be really strong:

If you are already in battle with a team, use the JOKR in situations where you have already knocked an enemy down. The enemies feel safe behind their cover, but can often still be targeted by the JOKR. Fire a rocket afterward and take out the teammate who wants to revive your kill.
Often, it’s small tricks like these that give you a big advantage over players who rely solely on their skills with weapon aiming. But in a Battle Royale, it’s usually tactics that win, and it’s small decisions and tricks that can mean a kill or death against strong opponents. Here you can find 6 more tricks that every good player should know.
Do you have a few little tricks that consistently set you apart from other teams? If so, do you want to share them with us?
