7 Things You Probably Didn’t Know About ESO

Andreas Bertits 16. March 2021 Reading time 3 minutes

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.

Story

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.

https://youtu.be/Fe_GPl4mwg4

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.

Pokémon GO has new Electric Raid bosses – Which ones are worth it?

Alexander Leitsch 16. March 2021 Reading time 2 minutes

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.

Its strongest counters are:

Pokémon	Moveset
Rameidon	Catapult and Rock Slide
Rihornior	Catapult and Rock Throw
Galar-Flampivian	Ice Fang and Avalanche
Mamutel	Powder Snow and Avalanche
Terrakium	Catapult and Rock Slide
Despotar	Catapult and Stone Edge
Snibunna	Ice Fang and Avalanche

Other strong counters can be found in our Counter Guide for Voltolos in Pokémon GO.

Which bosses are worth it?

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:

Magneton – The evolution Magezone is among the best Electric attackers in the game.
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.

All events in March 2021 in Pokémon GO can be found here.

Fortnite: Map changes to Season 6 bring 3 new places

Eilyn Rapp 16. March 2021 Reading time 4 minutes

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:

Ein neuer Battle-Pass mit coolen Inhalten
Tiere, die ihr jagen könnt
Neue Waffen, die ihr sogar selbst herstellen könnt

Alle weiteren Änderungen, die mit Season 6 aufgespielt wurden, haben wir euch in unseren deutschen Patch Notes zusammengefasst. Die neue Map von Season 6 stellen wir euch hier genauer vor. So sieht die Karte nach dem Update 16.00 aus:

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.

Neuer Ort: Colossal Crops

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.

WoW: Capital of the Tauren looks more real in Unreal Engine than reality

Cortyn 16. March 2021 Reading time 3 minutes

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.

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.

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.

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:

Even though the style and quality of these projects vary, they all share a great passion for the WoW world and are extremely impressive.

What do you think of this Thunder Bluff variant? Cool and impressive? Or too realistic and thus not fitting the Warcraft style?

Even in the graphically less impressive Valheim, WoW is loved – someone has recreated the harbor of Stormwind!

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.

What’s in Season 6?

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.

Fortnite: Patch Notes for Season 6 – What’s New?

Patrick Freese 16. March 2021 Reading time 4 minutes

In Fortnite season 6 started with new weapons and map changes. We show you the patch notes for update 16.00 with its new contents.

What is new? Since March 16 at 09:00, season 6 in Fortnite: Battle Royale is live. With an epic cutscene and subsequent solo event, season 5 ended. From now on, players can enjoy themselves in the new season. Here in the patch notes, we show you what has changed for you in the game.

Patch Notes in English for Update 16.00

The theme of the new season: Bows as firearms, wild boars and wolves as animals. The new season 6 of chapter 2 in Fortnite revolves around the theme of prehistory. Below we show you the new contents.

New Battle Pass

At the start of a new season in Fortnite, a new battle pass is a must. Again, there are tons of items for you to unlock. In the Battle Pass trailer for season 6, you can already get a glimpse of Lara Croft and the new bows.

Are you interested in the new battle pass? We have created an overview for you on MeinMMO that shows all unlocks from it. This includes cool skins, crazy back accessories, and sharp harvesting tools. All content from the battle pass of season 6 in Fortnite can be found here.

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.

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.

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.

Here’s how you can build weapons to your liking. As examples, Fortnite introduces the following new weapons:

The Prehistoric Rifle
Revolver
Flame and Mechanics Bows

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)
Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle (Rare/Epic/Legendary)
Common Assault Rifle

Weapons from previous seasons are returning. This will particularly please shotgun fans.

The Pump Shotgun is available in the rarities Uncommon, Rare, Epic, and Legendary
All revolvers in the game have been unlocked

Test the weapon selection now in your games of season 6.

Animals in the Wild

Everywhere on the map of season 6 in Fortnite you will now find animals. But there are important differences. Some are easy to fight, others are considered dangerous.

If you encounter chickens, they are considered easy prey
Wolves are dangerous, watch out!
According to Fortnite, more animals are supposed to “hatch”
The graphic from Fortnite also shows a wild boar

What can you do with them? You can hunt or tame the animals. They are suitable for gathering materials to make weapons.

New Loot Chests

The bunker chests in season 6 of Fortnite offer you powerful loot. If you find them, you should definitely check them out. The weapon rarities range from “Rare” to “Legendary.” Including rocket launchers.

What do you think of the contents of season 6 in Fortnite? Do you like the prehistoric theme with the wild animals or would you have wished for something completely different? Let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments.

ESO: What is direct damage?

Alexander Leitsch 16. March 2021 Reading time 2 minutes

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.

Fortnite: How crazy the ‘Live’ event went at the start of Season 6

Max Handwerk 16. March 2021 Reading time 3 minutes

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.

This is what happened: Today, on March 16, Season 6 has begun in Fortnite. After a lengthy server downtime during which the Fortnite update was deployed, players can now start the new season.

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.

How the season start event went

In advance, the “most elaborate story cinematic” in Fortnite for the solo event was announced. What it looked like was also shown in the video premiere, which we embed 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.

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.

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.

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 Online finally gets shorter loading times because a player solved the problems

Alexander Leitsch 16. March 2021 Reading time 2 minutes

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”.

Player receives $10,000 for the fix

What does t0st get for his fix? Besides the fact that he has influenced the game GTA 5 Online, the player additionally receives $10,000 from Rockstar.

This comes from the bug bounty pool, which is actually meant for users who find security and privacy issues. The payment to t0st was confirmed by Rockstar to PCGamer.

When is the update coming? Currently, there is no official statement from Rockstar on this. So far, the fix has not been implemented.

Recently, the developers changed how you receive the money gifts on PlayStation. All important information about this has been summarized here: GTA Online changes how you collect money gifts on PS4 and PS5.

Genius trick in CoD Warzone helps you with annoying roof campers

Maik Schneider 16. March 2021 Reading time 3 minutes

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?

Player converts popular gaming mouse into a bow, raves about experience

Benedikt Schlotmann 16. March 2021 Reading time 3 minutes

A player has modified their Logitech G502 into a bow. The mouse not only looks cool, but it can also actually be played with. The user shows in their video how they play Overwatch with the “Hanzo Bow Mouse.”

The YouTuber Bohrium has presented his gaming mouse on YouTube. It is not just a mouse, but a special creation.

For the mouse is inspired by the design of the character Hanzo from Overwatch. And the bow is not just decorative, but is actually used for gaming. Inside the mouse is a Logitech G502, even though not much of it is visible anymore. According to Logitech, the G502 Hero is one of the most popular gaming mice that the manufacturer sells.

Who is Hanzo? Hanzo Shimada is a playable character in Blizzard’s shooter Overwatch. He belongs to a fictional Japanese criminal family. He is an archer who can fire rapid arrows and eliminate foes quickly. Thus, he is one of the damage dealers in the game. Hanzo’s brother Genji is also playable in Overwatch.

After so many people asked him on reddit how the mouse works, he released a tongue-in-cheek review of his mouse on YouTube.

How does the mouse work? When you pull the bowstring, you activate the left mouse button. Pulling the string allows you to hold the mouse button down and charge the bow in Overwatch.

The YouTuber himself describes this as a “truly immersive experience.” He confidently adds that it is probably “the best bow mouse that has ever been made.”

Unusual mouse for Hanzo players

Who can game with the mouse? Both palm and claw grip players should be able to game with the mouse. The YouTuber demonstrates this in his video and introduces the grip types again. We have embedded the video for you below.

Those who only touch the mouse with two fingers (fingertip players) are likely to have more problems with it. Because the bow cannot be controlled as precisely.

What else can the mouse do: Additionally, the player has made some precautions. If the bow breaks in the middle of a battle, you don’t have to despair. Because the bow is easily replaceable.

Also cool: You can shoot real mini-arrows with the bow mouse and shoot at toys.

However, we at MeinMO can also recommend you good gaming mice for shooters without bow-shooting function.

Other users are excited about the bow mouse

How other players react: On reddit.com some people have already reacted to the Hanzo mouse and are impressed.

“The best modification I’ve ever seen in this sub[-reddit]. Congratulations.”
“As someone who has played Overwatch almost every day for years, wtf, this is what it’s like when Hanzo always kills me.”
And on YouTube, someone writes: “Finally an innovation in the mouse world”

On YouTube, the modder also presented gameplay with the mouse:

Can you buy the mouse anywhere? It is a modification of a Logitech G502, so it is very unlikely that you can buy this mouse anywhere. You can find the Logitech G502 Hero, by the way, in the MeinMMO mouse leaderboard of 2021.

Palm Grip	Claw Grip	Fingertip Grip
The hand completely encompasses the mouse. Fingers, palm, and heel rest on the mouse. The contact area between hand and mouse is the largest here and the movement is usually minimal.	Fingertips, thumb, and part of the palm rest on the mouse. The rest of the hand does not touch the mouse. Precision is controlled by the wrist, allowing for quick movements.	Only the thumb and fingertips rest on the mouse. The rest of the hand is free. Movement comes from the finger joints, allowing for precise movements.

This would actually be a business model, a special mouse for the many Hanzo players among us or for a special collector’s edition of Overwatch 2. One can dream.

What do you think? Do you miss this Hanzo gaming mouse in your collection or do you think it’s an interesting gimmick?

One of the most important items in WoW is not working properly

Cortyn 16. March 2021 Reading time 2 minutes

Players of “Mythic+” dungeons in WoW: Shadowlands are crying out. The popular invisibility potion is quite bugged.

Update: Blizzard has released a hotfix that should fix a variety of issues. Death Knights, Druids, and Monks should no longer be prematurely pulled out of the potion’s invisibility.

However, other classes that were not mentioned have also complained about the issue.

Original report: In order to complete the hardest dungeons of World of Warcraft: Shadowlands within the time limit, players use all the tricks available to them. It’s all the more frustrating when some of these methods suddenly stop working. The popular invisibility potion is bugged for many players. It seems to be due to a small change.

What kind of potion is this? It is the Potion of the Hidden Spirit. This potion grants the user invisibility for up to 18 seconds, allowing them to sneak past enemies unnoticed.

Why is the potion so important? For many strategies in high “Mythic+” dungeons, the potion is crucial. It allows players to skip particularly challenging packs. It is also important for timing the various Pride creatures correctly, which appear at specific percentages of defeated enemies. Being able to influence this amount by skipping packs is extremely important.

Why doesn’t the potion work? Many players have speculated about this and found an answer. Many types of new buffs or ticks from items and effects seem to count as an “action” and break invisibility.

Leaving or gaining a friendly aura counts as an action.
The passive stacking of stacks (for example, from trinkets).
Healing ticks from talents (for example, the Spirit Wolf from the Shaman).
Talents that trigger effects every few seconds.

These and many other passive effects cause invisibility to often break after just a few seconds. The usual “skipping” of special groups is therefore hardly possible anymore.

Is this intended? Probably not. The invisibility potion should grant full invisibility for 18 seconds, and this should only be broken when the player actively performs an action (such as casting a spell) or takes damage (for example, from an area effect). That this can also be triggered by passive effects or just by gaining auras seems to indicate a clear bug.

This is particularly frustrating for players who wanted to push their Mythic keys a little this week. Without invisibility potions, some dungeons are significantly harder.

Have you noticed the problem as well? Have you often relied on invisibility potions or not noticed any of this?

Fortnite: The new Season 6 starts in a few hours

Patrick Freese 16. March 2021 Reading time 3 minutes

In Fortnite the start of Season 6 in Chapter 2 is approaching. We will show you when it starts and what kind of live event awaits you.

Update from March 16 at 10:00 AM: In the Patch Notes for Season 6 in Fortnite you can see what has changed. On the map, you will now find wild animals, new locations, and can craft weapons out of bones.

What is it about? Fortnite players are eagerly awaiting the end of Season 5 and the start of Season 6 in Chapter 2. Season 5 has been active in Fortnite for several months now, and now players are just a few hours away from the start of the new season. We will show you here on MeinMMO everything you need to know about it.

When does Season 6 start?

Then it begins: The official start date for Season 6 in Chapter 2 for Fortnite is Tuesday, March 16. Epic Games has not yet announced a specific time. Since the early morning hours, the servers have been offline. It usually takes a few hours while the new patch is being applied during maintenance.

By noon, you should be able to start the new Season 6. Provided, everything goes as it did in previous years. You may be able to play earlier or later. Epic Games wanted to provide more specific data.

The world premiere of the live event is scheduled for 09:00 AM on March 16.

What about a live event?

This is known: The big event that one expects at the end of a season in Fortnite will unfold a bit differently at the end of Season 5 and the start of Season 6 in Chapter 2.

The team writes that they want to finish Season 5 explosively on March 16. But not like this epic live event, where a robot fought against a monster.

“When you start for the first time with the new season, you will play the end of Agent Jones’ mission yourself in the Zero Point Crisis finale. The repercussions of this event will shake reality to its core,” says the blog.

Agent Jones had brought more and more hunters to the island over the course of the season to guard the Zero Point. The Zero Point, however, is becoming increasingly unstable and seems to be tearing reality apart. In the event, the crisis is supposed to end, but “shake reality to its core,” says Epic.

Everyone gets their own finale: It is interesting that every player can experience the Zero Point Crisis finale solo. This happens whenever you log in for the first time in Season 6.

Is the finale also online? Yes. Epic Games states that you can also experience this great event online. On Fortnite’s YouTube channel, you can apparently follow the event. We will embed the corresponding link here so you can watch it directly:

At this point you will find external content from YouTube that complements the article.

Link to the YouTube content

The fact that the event now takes place for solo players is a huge change in Fortnite’s schedule. Because big events at the end of a season brought Fortnite great success.

What’s coming in Season 6?

Leaks show: Some of the leaks revolve around the fact that Batman will likely play a big role in Fortnite. From the blog by Epic Games, we already know that reality is set to be fundamentally shaken. It will be exciting to see how Batman fits into this story if the leak turns out to be true.

The wish of a pro: In any case, a pro already has clear ideas about what Season 6 needs to improve in Fortnite. SypherPK wishes that the new season focuses again on gameplay. Less attention should be paid to skin collaborations according to his wishes. He wants new items, weapons, and map changes.

A crazy theory: Do you remember the cube that rampaged wildly across the map in Season 6? One theory is that the cube “Kevin” could make a return in Season 6 of Chapter 2.

Everything we know about the end of Season 5 and the start of Season 6 in Fortnite Chapter 2.

Check back regularly on MeinMMO for the start of 6. We will show you the latest trailers and changes in Fortnite on our platform.

Diablo 2: Resurrected

Platforms: PC, PS4/PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch | Release: 2021 | Payment model: Buy2Play | Website: Website of Diablo 2: Resurrected

What is Diablo 2: Resurrected? The remaster of the classic Diablo 2 primarily improves graphics. Instead of fighting 2D monster sprites, you face detailed 3D creatures. Additionally, there will be versions for new consoles. However, the gameplay is meant to remain classic.

You experience the same story in 5 acts as in 2000
You play the classes Amazon, Assassin, Necromancer, Barbarian, Paladin, Sorceress, and Druid
There will be cross-progression, allowing you to transfer your progress to other platforms
The leaderboard seasons will be revised
The UI will receive optimizations
The loot chest will be expanded

For whom is Diablo 2: Resurrected suitable? Diablo 2: Resurrected is naturally aimed at anyone who played Diablo 2 in 2000 and wants to experience that sensation again in a more modern form. But newcomers will also see how Diablo 2 felt like when it was played over 20 years ago.

Forecast – How good could Diablo 2: Resurrected be? Fans have been waiting for a remaster of Diablo 2 for a long time. What Blizzard has shown so far goes exactly in the direction that players imagine. An optical improvement while leaving the gameplay untouched.

However, the disappointment of the Warcraft 3 remake still lingers, which did not meet fans’ expectations. Therefore, the community is hopeful, but also somewhat skeptical about Diablo 2: Resurrected.

LoL gets an interesting subscription system in China – But there is a catch

Alexander Leitsch 15. March 2021 Reading time 2 minutes

In China, players of League of Legends can now subscribe to a monthly plan. This subscription is also being discussed in the West due to some interesting aspects, but it has a significant negative aspect as well.

What is this subscription? For 68 Yuan (approximately 9 Euros), Chinese players can now opt for a subscription to LoL. It includes the following bonuses:

New skins that have just been released can be tested for one month
Every month, there are 3 codes for a skin worth up to 20 Yuan (totalling around 60 Yuan). Alternatively, the codes can be exchanged for Riot Points (RP)
Double experience points
A free name change
Automatic upgrade to level 30 when subscribing for 2 or more months at once
A free server transfer when subscribing for more than 3 months

Currently, the subscription is even reduced to 60 Yuan, which matches the value of the offered codes.

However, this new offer is currently only available in China.

Will the subscription model come to us as well? Whether it will ever arrive in the West is questionable, as LoL in China is distributed by tech giant Tencent. This already results in differences in pricing, such as with skins.

However, it is not entirely ruled out.

Level boost could lead to beginners and bots in ranked matches

How is the subscription received in the West? In the LoL subreddit, there are many positive reactions and players who can imagine taking out such a monthly subscription.

What is praised about the subscription model is that you essentially get back the money you invest in RP. You gain from testing skins, the free transfers, and the XP boost without losing anything.

There is, however, one point that players see as critical.

What is being criticized? The boost to level 30 is seen as problematic for two reasons:

First, players fear that beginners, who are just starting their careers in LoL, could prematurely enter ranked matches. Currently, level 30 and at least 16 unlocked champions are required. These could be unlocked rather quickly using the coupons.
Secondly, they are concerned about bots doing exactly the same thing. They also benefit from the subscription model.

Currently, many players consider LoL to be one of the free-to-play games with the fairest monetization model ever. This applies not only to the game itself but also to all titles of the company Riot Games.

They are currently trying to benefit from the success of LoL with several games and other content:

Destiny 2 will implement crossplay in 2021: What is planned and what it means for you

Philipp Hansen 15. March 2021 Reading time 3 minutes

The action MMO Destiny 2 will allow all platforms to play together seamlessly in the future – as early as 2021. We explain what this means and what concrete plans there are for the two next-gen consoles PS5 and Xbox Series X, as well as other platforms.

This article from December 9, 2020, was updated on March 15, 2021. Bungie revealed when crossplay will come in 2021 and more about its implementation.

What we know about crossplay: With the reveal of the next Destiny chapter “Beyond Light”, Bungie also announced that Destiny 2 will accompany us until at least 2022. We now know the plans go even further. The future brings not only new story content, weapons, or activities, but also finally crossplay.

Cross-platform gaming is currently a very high priority for Bungie, as Mark Noseworthy (General Manager for Destiny 2) revealed some time ago in an interview with MeinMMO.

What we now know about Destiny 2’s crossplay for PS5 & Xbox Series X

The crossplay feature will be realized in two steps:

Intergenerational Crossplay: With the release of the next-gen consoles PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, the so-called intergenerational crossplay or cross-generation play was introduced. This feature allows players on PS4 and PS5 to easily play together. The same applies to Microsoft’s consoles Xbox One and the Xbox Series X and S.

Full Crossplay: By 2021, these platforms will be able to play together: PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S, as well as PC (Steam) and Google Stadia.

When will crossplay come? Crossplay will come for all platforms in Season 15, which is in autumn 2021. In Season 14, they want to conduct initial tests to best prepare for the merging of all Guardians.

We now also know that PC and console players will only face each other in PvP if console players are invited by their friends on PC. They will then play together in the PC player pool.
There was a major concern among players that controller users might have to compete against “mouse and keyboard” Guardians without asking. In PvE, everything will likely be handled a bit more loosely.

What does it mean for the players?

Full crossplay means that existing boundaries will be broken down. You will be able to embark on adventures with all your friends and gaming buddies – regardless of who is playing on which platform. The various console generations, as well as PC and Stadia, will merge into a large overarching community.

Since December 8, the next-gen upgrade has been available for free. This allows the PS5 and the new Xbox to benefit from the significantly more powerful consoles and offers, among other things, up to 120 FPS, 4K resolution, and an adjustable field of view.

As preparation for the crossplay feature, Destiny 2 has relied on cross-save since autumn 2019. This allows players to share their progress across platforms.

Are you already excited to save the universe cross-platform? What do you think, will many console players join the PC Guardians in the Crucible, or do you find that unfair despite the adjustments?

In 2021, Bungie also completely removed the annoying weapon retirement feature. This had significantly dampened the fun for many Guardians: No weapon retirement anymore – Destiny 2 finally kills its biggest criticism

Xbox Game Pass Gets Even Stronger

Here’s why the Game Pass is currently worth it: Just recently, a slew of other titles for the subscription model were announced. These include:

How much does the Game Pass cost? Depending on the platform, you pay monthly between 9.99 € (for PC or Xbox) and 12.99 € (Game Pass Ultimate for PC and Xbox). However, be aware that Outriders is currently only supposed to appear in the Game Pass for Xbox – there is currently no information for the Game Pass for PC.

With Game Pass Ultimate, you also have the advantage of being able to play on PC and Xbox consoles and via the cloud on Android devices. Additionally, Game Pass Ultimate also includes Xbox Gold and EA Play with even more games.

In line with the announcement, there is also a trailer in which the developers explain how to survive better in Outriders. Tip: Play Outriders aggressively and not as a cover shooter.

What is Outriders about? The signal and an anomaly play central roles in the main story of Outriders. The shooter takes place in a distant future, after a time when humanity has already devastated the Earth and is therefore trying to find a new home.

Humans land on Enoch, the game’s setting. But there is a mysterious signal whose origin the players are to investigate. At the same time, there is an anomaly on Enoch that rages over the planet in the form of a storm and causes unpredictable events.

It can be incredibly destructive, but at the same time, it grants players their powerful abilities that define the four classes of Outriders. For example, anomaly power in the game stands for the strength of the abilities that can be used.

Demo Is Considered a Success by Developers

Many players have already been able to get a glimpse of Outriders in the demo. This has been playable since February 25 and includes the first chapter of the story. According to People Can Fly, over 2 million players have checked out the loot shooter so far.

The developers consider this a success of the demo version, and publisher Square Enix may hope that the Game Pass subscription model attracts even more potential players to Outriders.

Rumor Suggested It

What was the rumor about? The rumor was circulated by the official Twitter account of Xbox Game Pass.

In an earlier tweet, an “internal” email is displayed that refers to a new game for the Game Pass that is supposed to come next month. The text contained hints about the game, as the Twitter account itself writes: “There’s probably a clue about a game in here somewhere […]”

In recent days, it has been wildly speculated whether Outriders was meant here. The rumor has now proven to be true.
