Amazon’s MMO New World is no longer set to release in spring, but instead at the end of August 2021. MeinMMO editor Alexander Leitsch believes the delay is justified. The game contained almost no endgame content, which is now set to be added.
What happened? The developers announced on February 16 that New World is set to release on August 31. Previously, there had been talk of “spring 2021”. This date was already based on two delays – from May 2020 to August 2020 and then again to spring 2021.
The delay has received mixed reactions, as many were already looking forward to the release of the new MMO. However, there are also players who welcome the delay.
I belong to the latter group for two reasons:
On one hand, the release in August is primarily justified by the fact that more endgame content is to be added to the MMO. This has been a major point of criticism so far.
On the other hand, we have seen several games in recent years that were simply released too early and therefore unfinished. Amazon itself has even experienced this with the game Crucible, which has now even been discontinued.
In my opinion, the delay can only have advantages. Especially when looking at the entire development history of the game. This has largely taken place in secrecy and under a non-disclosure agreement, but it shows the constant change that is still happening.
About the author: Alexander Leitsch is an MMORPG expert at MeinMMO and has accumulated over 25,000 gaming hours across various titles. He first tried out New World at gamescom in 2018. Since then, he has participated in several playtest events by Amazon in 2019 and 2020.
The focus is now on PvE and instanced battles, instead of open-world PvP
How did New World start? When New World was first presented to the public at gamescom in 2018, the game conceptually resembled the survival MMO Rust:
Players started naked and without equipment
There was constant PvP in the open world
There were no quests, players had to find their own tasks
Food and drink were necessary to generate health points
Fortresses could be built relatively freely in certain zones
The battles for fortresses took place in the open world
In the original version of New World, anyone could build fortresses freely as long as they controlled the area.
The switch to PvE: In 2019, the game took a drastic turn. PvP in the open world became optional content, and the battles for fortresses were instanced. Additionally, fortresses received a fixed setup and can no longer be built freely.
In return, quests and a first boss instance were introduced to attract more PvE fans. Moreover, there were numerous “quality of life” adjustments that made New World more beginner-friendly.
However, this major overhaul also delayed the release.
Good approaches at the playtest event, but many contents were missing
What was my impression of New World? In August 2020, the first players could finally get their hands on New World or report on their experiences without breaking an NDA. I also used the playtest event to thoroughly test the MMO.
The fact that even foreign players could indirectly cooperate and couldn’t take anything from each other.
The 25v25 PvP battles for fortresses.
However, there were also many aspects I found negative:
The quest system was one of the weakest overall.
The combat system needed several adjustments.
The factions felt insignificant.
Moreover, the endgame did not look promising. The only interesting contents were the PvP fort battles and the associated PvE events. However, they only occur irregularly and for a limited number of players.
Additionally, the instanced boss Spriggan, a potential endgame content, was already defeated by many during the test that only lasted a few days.
Why is this problematic? The lack of endgame content is often exactly what breaks new MMORPGs. Many players are now trying to get through the leveling process as quickly as possible only to see if the game can engage them long-term.
Although an MMORPG is expanded with many contents after release, there must be a certain loop in place that keeps players engaged for the long term.
I have not seen that loop after the event in New World.
New weapons, better quests, and instances in the endgame
What has changed after the test? In the time between September and February, there were several announcements from the alpha introducing new content, including:
With the further delay until August, time is being gained to test new content. And those sound really interesting and could positively change the aspect of endgame.
What other innovations are coming? The first innovation is the area Ebonscale Reach. This is supposed to be a new endgame zone where you will encounter a huge fleet of the Corrupted. The Corrupted already offer interesting events in the open world, which could become great group content in the area.
The announcement I find most exciting is the Expeditions. These are instances where you team up with a total of 5 players to face dangers and learn more about the lore of the game world Aeternum. The description states that the battles are to be challenging and require skill and coordination.

In this video, the developers talk about the 3 endgame innovations.
If you enjoy being active in PvP, you can also look forward to the Outpost Rush. In this, two teams of 20 players compete against each other to gain control of fortresses and resources. This is exactly the kind of mode I wished for in our first MeinMMO podcast on New World.
These 3 aspects all sound reasonable and cater to very different types of players:
The new area targets open-world and quest fans
The Expeditions target instanced players
The new PvP mode targets PvP fans who want to bridge the time between fortress battles
Together with the overhaul of the quests and the new weapons, much more replay value is promised than what was present during the test in August 2020. This now only needs to impress in quality. And a little time is good for that.
Since New World is still set to release in 2021, it remains one of the interesting MMO releases of this year. But there are also other exciting innovations that I have summarized here:
Activision Blizzard is approaching BlizzCon 2021. There is much reason to believe that new mobile games related to Warcraft will be showcased there, as Activision Blizzard has several multiplayer free-to-play mobile games based on Warcraft in development. A WoW mobile game is probably not to be expected, but we look at MeinMMO to see what these new games could look like.
Why does one believe that Blizzard will showcase mobile games?There is a clear statement from Bobby Kotick, the CEO of Activision Blizzard. In an investor call on February 4, 2021, Kotick said:
We have created several multiplayer mobile free-to-play games for Warcraft, which are already far into development and based on the beloved game series. They will offer opportunities to experience the Warcraft universe anew, both for current players and for new fans.
Bobby Kotick
It is therefore certain that mobile games related to Warcraft will be coming. The question is no longer if they will come, but only when they will arrive. BlizzCon 2021 is an ideal time to present the games.
This is not a new development: We have known since at least April 2017 from job postings that Blizzard is working on mobile games. Blizzard has long emphasized how seriously they take mobile games.
We want to introduce you to 3 ideas on what new mobile games related to Warcraft could look like. These are not official information, but speculations.
Warcraft Heroes – a hero-collection game
This is the idea: A sort of action MMO for mobile with an RPG aspect. In Warcraft Heroes, there are many heroes from the Warcraft franchise such as Thrall, Jaina, young Arthas, or Sylvanas. They undertake missions, level up, and gain experience points.
The player always controls only one hero from a team of 3 characters, but can switch to other heroes at will.
The player collects more and more heroes over time and can assemble a team for each mission. Each hero has specific abilities with cooldowns and an “ultimate” ability with visually impressive effects.
The hero also looks more powerful as they level up. The young, frail Arthas evolves into a mighty knight and perhaps even further beyond that.
The missions are linear side-scrollers: new enemies appear continuously and at the end of an instance, a boss that you know from WoW awaits.
This is what a blatant clone of such a game looked like. The “Orc Warlock” has 4 skills that can be upgraded.
This is the appeal of the game: The idea is to engage the player’s collector instinct. Because they want to possess all the heroes and equip them optimally. The missions are designed in such a way that a wide roster is needed: While a hero like Baine Bloodhoof is great against lightly armored foes, for heavily armored enemies, one would be better off with a mage, as they are susceptible to fire.
The toughest challenges in the game are tactically demanding boss fights, of which you must tackle several in a row with a team. They require the player to have high dexterity and a well-equipped and highly bred team of heroes.
In such games, tier lists and complex upgrade systems often arise to optimize the heroes. These games are so deep that even hardcore gamers and theorycraft nerds can be satisfied with them.
However, such “free-to-play multiplayer” games often have an intrusive cash shop, and they are accused of being pay-to-win.
A taste of what such a game could look like was already given in 2019, when the mobile game “Glorious Saga” shamelessly copied Warcraft and was sued.
What is the template? The template for such a “hero collection game” is some of the most successful mobile games in the world. These games are also called “gacha” games:
In South Korea, Netmarble has a game with Marvel superheroes as “Marvel Future Fight”
This is what “Marvel Heroes” looks like – imagine that with Warcraft heroes.
How likely is that? This is a formula for a game that is extremely successful and tested in Asia. Here in the West, these concepts are still relatively new. Fortnite tried something similar in 2017 with “Fortnite: Save the World”, but failed.
However, such games have – rightly so – an image problem. Blizzard would have to be careful with the cash shop.
If Blizzard creates such a game and enriches it with its own ideas, it would probably be a license to print money. However, the actual game principle would be close to Diablo Immortal in terms of action gameplay.
This is the idea: In this game, two players compete against each other on a fixed map: The map consists of three battle lanes equipped with towers. Each player has a fortress that they must protect. If this fortress is destroyed, the player loses.
The player uses cards to bring units or magical effects onto the map: The troops then march to engage the opponent. Players assemble their cards and units in forms of decks before a match. You can only play cards if you have gathered enough resources. You have to wait relatively long for the strongest units, while weak units can be deployed quickly.
The units and effects are taken from the Warcraft franchise: There are axe throwers, catapults, ogre mages, and gryphon riders.
This is the appeal of the game: These are tactical, intense rounds that only last between 3 and 5 minutes. The key is to manage your resources properly and always have an answer to the opponent’s attacks.
The game seems simple at first glance but is difficult to master and deep. The “Rock, Paper, Scissors” principle applies, and winning is incredibly satisfying, but losing is awful.

These are the templates for the game: This is “Clash Royale” and its variants. Clash Royale was released in 2016 and is an extremely successful mobile game by Supercell.
How likely is that? It is a must that some form of “mobile strategy game” comes to Warcraft because it caters to the “old” PC players.
The question is what such a game will look like: A “Clash Royale” variant would be quite far from the old real-time strategy game and would likely attract a lot of mockery and memes towards Blizzard. They would need to handle it well.
Who thinks: No one would copy so blatantly. Hi-Rez tried to release their own version of “Clash Royale” in 2017, but with the skin of “Smite.” However, Smite Rivals quickly failed.
Warcraft Go – Catch them all
This is the idea: It is an “augmented reality” game. People walk around in the real world with their phones and see figures from Warcraft. They can interact with these familiar NPCs and convince them to join their team, either through force or bribery.
The figures have individual stats that can vary. The RPG aspect is more pronounced than in similar games: You can also equip the figures. It is naturally possible to trade figures with other players.
You can engage in battles with the figures against other players, but also against powerful NPC bosses in the world. Blizzard innovatively calls them “raid bosses.”
The appeal of the game: The appeal lies clearly in the collecting and trading aspect. There are particularly rare heroes that you can only find at certain events or only in specific regions.
Moreover, new heroes regularly enter the game, and Blizzard continually comes up with new features.
Are there templates? Pokémon GO serves as a template, one of the most successful games in the world.
In an insider report, it was mentioned that Blizzard was working on such a game and had it even in a “playable state,” but wanted to stand out more from Pokémon GO and emphasize single-player aspects.
If Blizzard implements one of the concepts, it will probably be done skillfully enough so that not everyone immediately shouts, “That’s just a copy!”
In GTA Online, a new event week is back as of today, February 18, 2021. This time, the Peyote plants are back. There is also the new free Verus Quad.
What’s new this week? From February 18 to 25, GTA Online is gifting you the Verus Quad, a new off-road vehicle which has been added to the game as part of the Cayo Perico update.
Although the update has already been released, many announced vehicles are being added gradually. Just like the recently introduced Mammoth Squaddie.
Additionally, the Peyote event is back. This has been in GTA Online before and revolves around the Peyote plants that players can collect. MeinMMO summarizes everything important about the Verus and the Peyote plants for you.
Free Verus Quad from Cayo Perico now in the game
What kind of vehicle is this? The Verus is an off-road quad. In the “Warstock Cache & Carry” shop, it costs $192,000. However, anyone who logs in between February 18 and 25 will receive the quad for free.
The vehicle can be upgraded with various gimmicks and parts. For example, you can add ammunition boxes.
In the YouTube video by Simtatic, you can see what the vehicle looks like, the tuning options available, and how it performs in action:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5DTZapvWoA
Additionally, the Peyote event is back, where you need to search for plants. For this search, you might want to try out the new quad.
What is the Peyote event? In this event, you need to collect the Peyote plants. This allows you to earn a lot of RP and level up faster in GTA Online.
There are a total of 76 plants scattered across the entire map. Each find gives you 5000 RP. The plants are small, round, and have white flowers, as can be seen in this image:
This is what a Peyote plant looks like.
As soon as you are near a plant, your controller vibrates. You also hear animal sounds. Once you find them, the plants induce hallucinations where you suddenly become a specific animal.
What else is new? During the event week, there are additional offers such as the podium vehicle Överflöd Tyrant. Additionally, as usual, there are bonuses and discounts on races, missions, and other activities.
For instance, there are triple payouts and RP when you complete jobs as bodyguards. You earn double rewards and RP for open races or contact missions. You can find the exact list in the GTA Online subreddit.
Will you play the event? And can you make use of the new quad? Or are the events and bonuses not really your thing? Let us know in the comments.
Have you visited Cayo Perico from the last update? If not, this guide shows you how to get there: How to get to the new island.

On Pokémon GO , the Kanto Tour starts this Saturday, February 20th. The ticketed event offers many bonuses that are somewhat opaque. We will show you how to make the most of the event.
What is the Kanto Tour? This event is somewhat comparable to the GO Fest. You purchase a ticket for 12 euros and then can take advantage of the Kanto Tour for a full 12 hours.
The event focuses exclusively on the first generation of Pokémon. All 151 monsters from the Kanto region should be available during this time.
Kanto Tour Schedule – Flow and Hour Blocks
When does the Kanto Tour run? It starts on February 20th at 9:00 AM local time. You then have 12 hours, until 9:00 PM, to make the most of the event.
During the 12 hours, monsters will appear in various hour blocks. You will find different monsters increased during each hour.
These are the hour blocks: So far, only the names of the hour blocks are known. They are oriented around the locations of the Kanto region:
9 AM to 10 AM: Pallet Town
10 AM to 11 AM: Cerulean City
11 AM to 12 PM: Vermilion City
12 PM to 1 PM: Fuchsia City
1 PM to 2 PM: Pokémon League
2 PM to 3 PM: Pallet Town
3 PM to 4 PM: Cerulean City
4 PM to 5 PM: Vermilion City
5 PM to 6 PM: Fuchsia City
6 PM to 7 PM: Pokémon League
7 PM to 9 PM: Pokémon from all previous hours
If the Pokémon do actually reflect these locations, one might expect, for example, that the common Pokémon will appear more frequently in Pallet Town. Monsters like Pidgey, Rattata, or Spearow appeared there.
The hours around the “Pokémon League” could become exciting because that is where the strongest monsters were in the handheld games.
From 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM, you will find all Pokémon that appeared during the event again.
Look forward to these bonuses: To give you a rough overview of all the bonuses available for the Kanto Tour, we will list them here for you:
All first-generation Pokémon are available as Shiny – meaning 9 new Shinies will be introduced
All first-generation Pokémon can be found in the wild, in raids, quests, incense, or evolution
There are more candies for catching Kanto Pokémon
In total, there are 10 new collection challenges
A new special research is available, which unlocks a masterpiece research upon completion, rewarding you with Shiny Mew at the end
This choice is yours: Before the tour starts, you can choose between the green and red editions. Depending on the edition, you can encounter different Pokémon in the wild and in incense.
An overview of all the differences can be found in this graphic:
How does it work with the Shinies? As you can see in the graphic above, there are different Pokémon per edition that have an increased Shiny chance.
How high this chance is and whether other Pokémon will also appear somewhat more frequently as Shiny is currently unclear.
In general, however, all 151 Pokémon should also be available as Shiny during the Kanto Tour.
Here’s how to get Shiny Mew: The mysterious Pokémon is only available if you complete a special research and unlock another research. Once you have completed the 2nd research, you will get Shiny Mew.
According to Niantic, the tasks there are quite tricky. One must, among other things, walk 151 kilometers. So expect that you will be stuck on the task for several days.
These are the collection challenges: In total, there are 10 collection challenges you should complete during the event. They revolve around the individual locations of the Kanto region or the following themes:
Raid battles
Research
Evolution
Incense
Trading
You can complete these challenges until February 28 and do not have to solve them directly at the Kanto Tour.
What is available without a ticket? Even if you haven’t purchased a ticket for the Kanto Tour, there are some bonuses you can take advantage of. These include:
Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, and Mewtwo are available in legendary raids
Pokémon from the Kanto region will appear in the wild and in raids
There is a limited research for all trainers
The trading distance has been increased to 40 kilometers
So even if you don’t invest 12 euros in the event, you can benefit from some bonuses. It is currently unknown whether trainers without a ticket will also have an increased Shiny chance for certain Pokémon.
Live events in Pokémon GO: Such events are regularly held in Pokémon GO. Every month, for example, the Community Day takes place, which is only available for a few hours.
In the past, however, there have also been some live events that cost money. For example, tickets for events around Genesect or Regigigas were sold. At those, there were items and special bonuses that only ticket holders received.
The GO Fest is usually the most well-known ticketed event in Pokémon GO. Due to the Corona crisis, this event took place individually at home for each player in 2020. Normally, a GO Fest only happens at a fixed location, where trainers then have to travel to.
Make the most of the Kanto Tour – These tips will help you
How to prepare: It is important that you secure a trading partner. You can only complete all tasks related to the Kanto Tour if you have a partner who chose the other edition. You do not need to play together with them, but it is enough if you take advantage of the 40-kilometer trading radius.
In addition, you should have enough items. Depending on your playtime, you should stock up on Poké Balls. We recommend at least 500 balls if you plan to play most of the event. Additional items, such as Lures or Incense, should also be stocked up in your inventory.
Incense is one of the most important items for the Kanto Tour.
Lastly, you should sort your Pokémon box. The more space you have there, the longer you can catch Pokémon without having to sort in between. So make sure to tidy up beforehand and make space for Kanto Pokémon.
How to play the event effectively: In general, you should figure out how many hours you want to play effectively in advance. We recommend that you at least visit each location that changes hourly once. That would total 5 hours. Depending on which hour you then enjoy most, you can play that second hour again.
Ideally, you should always have an incense active. The item attracts specific Pokémon during the event that you should definitely catch. In general, using incense can help you catch more monsters and potentially bag more Shinies.
We recommend that you use the catch trick. This allows you to catch monsters significantly faster and is overall more effective and efficient.
In general, you should set routes where many Pokémon appear. It is best to also keep in mind that these routes do not run through highly trafficked areas to avoid encountering too many people.
What you shouldn’t miss: The most interesting hours will take place from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM and from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM. During that time, the Pokémon League will be in focus, potentially increasing the spawn rates of the rarest Pokémon. Additionally, the time from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM is interesting. All Pokémon will appear again then. So if you wanted to take full advantage of certain areas again, you should play within these two hours.
What happens after the Kanto Tour? It is important to note that you don’t necessarily have to complete all special researches and challenges. On the Sunday after the Kanto Tour, another event related to the first generation starts, which will help you complete these researches.
An overview of all upcoming events that are yet to take place this month can be found here:
A Fortnite song from 2018 is currently going viral on the TikTok platform. There are countless created videos that are accompanied by this song, and even retirees are being motivated to dance to it.
What song is this? This Fortnite song is a parody of the song “American Boy”. The original version of the parody was released in 2018 under the name “Let’s play Fortnite!!!”, but with 85,000 views, the song did not receive much attention worldwide (via YouTube).
A player named Leviathan then created a modified version of the Fortnite parody: “Chug Jug with you“. This song is about Fortnite with friends and how they “get Victory Royales and cleared Tomato Town”. On SoundCloud, this version of the parody has now reached over 450,000 plays. Now, three years later, the song is also going viral on TikTok.
Which song is the Fortnite parody based on? “Chug Jug with you” is based on the melody of American Boy, a song by Kanye West and Estelle, released in 2009. The original song has over 145 million views on YouTube.
Fortnite Song on TikTok the Hit
This is how the Fortnite song spreads on TikTok: The Fortnite parody “Chug Jug with you” seems to be celebrating a comeback on the TikTok platform. Approximately 118,000 videos have already been created for this song (via TikTok) and the hashtag #chugjugwithyou has reached 6.5 million views on the platform.
The videos are varied, some simply enjoy the melody and do a little dance, while others incorporate clips from Fortnite. However, the song seems to appeal not only to the younger generation, as even grandparents are happily dancing to it:

Some get very creative on the platform and showcase their pets, who supposedly play Fortnite and “sing” the song. For instance, you see a guinea pig sitting with an Xbox controller in front of the TV, “singing” the Fortnite song. Is it perhaps waiting for the Fortnite squad?

Song Popular Not Just Among Fortnite Players: The parody seems to resonate not only with players who know Fortnite. There are also people saying, “I’ve never played Fortnite, but I’ve been listening to this song all day.” The melody seems to be generally infectious, and surely many more funny videos will arise on TikTok.
It would be funny if Fortnite itself would show some of the clips of the Fortnite parody. Even if they are not shown, you still get a chance to participate in a film festival with “Short Nite”, where a few famous short films will soon be shown. How to participate in the film festival has been summarized in a guide for you.

After a defeat in Escape from Tarkov, a Twitch streamer screamed wildly in his room. His 3-year-old daughter began to cry as the streamer let his anger loose. The streaming platform subsequently issued a ban.
What happened? The Twitch streamer KillaMfCam was banned from the platform after a meltdown during his livestream on Twitch.
After dying in the hardcore shooter Escape from Tarkov, he shouted in the room
The anger seemed to be directed at his dog, but a crying child could be heard in the background
Comments like “Stop shitting yourself” or “I’ll break your neck” were made
In the meantime, his channel has been banned by Twitch.
The video of the Twitch streamer’s meltdown
This is how it became known: The Twitter user and YouTuber Frizzable shared the video on Twitter, which shows KillaMfCam during his outburst. Frizzable explains that he eliminated the streamer in Escape from Tarkov and then turned on the defeated opponent’s stream, apparently to relish in their reaction.
But when he followed the channel, he was immediately banned from KillaMfCam’s channel. Frizzable then rewound the VoD to see the streamer’s reaction when he was eliminated. There he saw the streamer visibly angry, shouting in and away from the webcam.
However, it is unclear to whom the comments were directed. The target could be the daughter or the dog of the streamer.
Below, we embed the video of the meltdown. This clip contains the cries of a small child, which may have a disturbing effect. Watch at your own risk.
The video makes it clear how angry the player is and that he lets his anger out. Meanwhile, a child can be heard starting to cry during the outburst.
“Stop shitting. I don’t care, Riley, be quiet. Stop shitting yourself, dude, how hard can that be?”
“I hate you, dude. Get out of my room, bro. Go. Get out! Get the hell out of my room. Go.”
“I’ll break your damn neck, dude. Get the hell out.”
This is what Twitch’s rules say about violence: Acts of violence and threats of violence are taken seriously and considered non-tolerable violations. All accounts associated with such activities will be permanently banned immediately. This includes, among other behaviors: Attempt or threat to physically harm or kill others […]
Streamer: “I am allowed to hit my dog”
This is what the streamer says: It didn’t take long for KillaMfCam to comment on the allegations on Twitter. He claims that the video was purposely edited to put the streamer in a bad light.
“Anyone who believes the edited clip is highly misinformed. I do not deny that I was overly angry. I was talking 100% about my dog. The guy I banned from my stream edited the video to make it not look like that,” he tweeted from his now-inaccessible Twitter account.
He was then made aware on Twitter that he admits to hitting his dog because he got angry. And that this does not make the situation any better.
“Yes, I am allowed to spank my dog if she misbehaves, dude. […] I spanked her twice and sent her out of my room. While it wasn’t “okay” to sound so angry, it really wasn’t the way the guy edited [the video].
Why the video was edited: In a YouTube video, Frizzable explains that he cut out the parts of the video where the streamer was just sitting quietly. This was because only videos with a maximum duration of 2 minutes and 20 seconds can be uploaded on Twitter.
He shared the video out of concern for the child’s well-being. Because even if the streamer shouted at and hit his dog, his daughter witnessed all of it.

Valheim is currently still in development and many contents are yet to come in the game. One of these contents appears to be a new, burning sword. You can already see it in the game, but no one knows how to officially obtain it.
What kind of sword is this? The special sword burns brightly, glows white, and is named Dyrnwyn. The description of the weapon in the game is:
“A sword that is surrounded by a magical fire. Beware of the undying fire.”
In terms of damage, it is slightly worse than the black metal sword, one of the best weapons in Valheim. However, due to its special property, it deals additional fire damage, making it potentially more effective against certain enemies than weapons that deal purely physical damage.
Dyrnwyn also looks incredibly cool, but there is a catch – no one knows how to obtain it in a “legal” way.
Dyrnwyn is currently only available for admins
How do I get the sword? At the moment, Dyrnwyn can only be obtained through admin commands. These are specific console inputs intended for testing and debugging the game. In Valheim, they only work if you are playing locally on your own server or are the admin. To obtain Dyrnwyn, you need to enter the following commands:
open the console by pressing F5
type “imacheater” and confirm to activate the commands
type “spawn SwordIronFire” and confirm
Dyrnwyn should now be lying in front of you
You can use the sword normally, and it has the same attacks and properties as other swords in the game.
Where can I find the sword “legally”? So far, players are puzzling over where to actually obtain Dyrnwyn. It is most likely that you need the metal from the new biome Ashlands.
The Ashlands are burning steppes located in the far south of the map. Surtlings roam there, and there is a new metal: Fire core ore. You can already smelt it into fire cores in blast furnaces.
This “Glowing metal” is already available in the Ashlands, but serves no known purpose yet.
However, nothing can currently be done with the ore itself – at least no one has discovered a recipe with the bars yet. It may be that further requirements are still needed to learn the recipe for Dyrnwyn.
The Ashlands themselves are not finished yet, and there isn’t much to do there. They will be fully implemented in the game later – we don’t know exactly when. The developers recently revealed what is specifically coming in the upcoming updates for Valheim, but have not yet given any release dates.
What do you think of the sword? Have you already found a way to forge Dyrnwyn? Let us know in the comments!

In World of Warcraft a rare pet now commands huge sums. “Tyrael’s Hilt” was available 13 years ago at an event – today, you pay more than €3,000 for the pet on the black market in WoW.
What kind of pet is this? The pet is called Tyrael’s Hilt. It is a mini-Tyrael, the Archangel from the Diablo game series.
In WoW, you can already tell that the pet is something special:
Those who have the pet unlock a special achievement, a “Heroic Feat”.
You can ask Tyrael to dance in WoW. If you dance with him, he will dance with you.
You get the item that unlocks the pet only if you give a special code to Edward Cairn in Undercity or Ian Drake in Stormwind.
How much does the pet cost? Currently, the pet is offered online for $3,800 by a site that specifically sells WoW pets. That’s about €3,140. On eBay, you pay even more: €3,650 plus €75 shipping.
Although “Tyrael’s Hilt” is also available on eBay for €60, that’s just the card without the code. That doesn’t help anyone.
A bargain right now on eBay: Tyrael’s Hilt costs €3,650 in 2021.
The pet was only available 8,000 times and that was 13 years ago
Why is this card so expensive? This special pet exists only 8,000 times. A card with the code for the mini-Tyrael was given to attendees of the “World Wide Invitational 2008” tournament. This was a series of events that took place 4 times: three times in Korea and once in France (via wowhead).
People received a card with codes that they could scratch off to redeem the pet in World of Warcraft.
The pet cannot be obtained through other means. Instead, you have to steal it from someone who was at this tournament 13 years ago or who has somehow obtained this card.

The problem is also: The pet is tied to a specific item that can be used only once. Once the item has been used, the pet is bound to the account of the user and can then no longer be traded.
This means: Of the “8,000” Tyrael’s that are in WoW, probably only a fraction will even be freely tradeable. Once you have taken the mini-Tyrael out of the box and played with it, it is no longer tradeable.
On YouTube, there’s a video of a WoW player acquiring the pet “under the table” in Orgrimmar for 24 million gold and celebrating the bargain (via youtube).
What is this about “pets” in WoW? These are companions that serve purely cosmetic uses.
Pets hardly played a role in WoW’s first years. This changed in 2012 with the expansion “Mists of Pandaria”: Blizzard introduced a pet-battle system. Back then, it was somewhat mocked as “Pokémon in Azeroth.” Blizzard has significantly expanded the pet system in this way. There was a nice collecting feature in the game, a collection, a bunch of achievements, and indeed the battle system.
Today, pets are coveted collectibles for some players in WoW. Particularly valuable are those pets that do not actually exist in the game but come from other sources. Many of the pets that are used as “trading goods” come from the Blizzard Trading Card Game.
Similar to mounts, such items are often advertised and traded through “Direct Trades” in the game. Sometimes real money is actually involved, which is frowned upon and not encouraged by Blizzard.
In this type of trade, many fraudsters are also active, luring players in the trade chat with particularly attractive mounts and pets, but are only out to trick the player into somehow taking away their gold.
Is mini-Tyrael the rarest pet in WoW? No, it is not. According to the page WarcraftPets, there are some pets that are even rarer than mini-Tyrael.
These are often pets that were available only for very specific events or achievements and cannot be traded, but bind to the account immediately upon pickup.

TitanReach is a new MMORPG that caused a stir with its Kickstarter campaign last year. The early access phase is now approaching. Soon you will be able to participate.
What exactly is TitanReach? The MMORPG focuses on PvE, quests, and a story revolving around powerful Titans. You explore dungeons in groups, participate in raids, and must defeat world bosses.
You create your character not based on classes but through skills in the categories melee, ranged, and magic. Skills like fishing and smithing also play a significant role. The economy in the game is completely player-driven.
PvP is also a part of the MMORPG but is fought in special zones. Those who dare to enter must be prepared to lose all their equipment in battles against other players.
There are mini-games, and you can join guilds and complete guild quests together. Visually, TitanReach adopts a colorful low-poly graphic style that differs from the look of the survival hit Valheim.
The video shows how Titan Reach plays:
https://youtu.be/OrNHKhIJoWE
What is special about the game? TitanReach focuses on quests that are supposed to differ from those in other MMORPGs. The team aims to avoid repetitive missions and instead focus on variety. Quests include solving puzzles and exploring different locations, guiding you through the world.
Additionally, you cannot always use all skills; you have to limit yourself to 5. This brings tactical decisions before each mission.
When does the early access phase start? You will be able to participate starting February 28. To do so, you must purchase access in the store on the official website of TitanReach. This costs 70 credits, where one credit equals one US dollar.
If you purchase access starting February 26, you will receive a 25% discount for one week.
How did the Kickstarter campaign go? The Kickstarter campaign started on September 16, 2020, and within just 16 hours raised over $50,000. Players praised the concept and the playable demo.
Unfortunately, the very high crowdfunding goal of 378,721 euros could not be reached despite the enthusiasm from MMORPG fans. Encouraged by the many positive feedbacks, the team continued and is now ready to start the early access phase.
Keyboards get dirty quickly and are often difficult to clean. MeinMMO gives you tips on how to restore the hygiene and cleanliness of your keyboard.
My keyboard is sticky – is yours too? In the evening, you want to play a few rounds of your favorite shooter with friends or complete the raid, trying to eat a meal or drink a beer at the same time. The next morning, you find crumbs and other remnants stuck between and on the keys.
Many of you may be familiar with this phenomenon, and we at MeinMMO can sing a song about it too. That’s why we present you here the best tips on how to clean your keyboard from dirt and what you should pay attention to.
What do I need to clean my sticky keyboard? You need some special tools, but most things are everyday items you might already have at home. Here we list everything for you and will go into more detail in the tips.
This is what you need:
Isopropyl alcohol and gloves
Cotton swabs
Newspaper
Compressed air spray
Microfiber cloth or other lint-free cloth
Dull knife, plastic card, or keycap puller
Tip: Keyboard cleaning sets are now offered on Amazon. These come with several brushes, a keycap puller, and also a microfiber cloth. The set we present has a rating of 4.3 out of 5 stars from 263 reviews and is well-rated. The price is around 8 euros, making it affordable.

Cleaning the keyboard: What you should pay attention to before cleaning
How often should you clean your keyboard? In principle, it is enough if you clean your keyboard when it is very dirty or when the dirt bothers you. However, here too: The more regularly you clean the keyboard, the less dirt will remain.
If you have a cold or are sick and share your keyboard at home with someone, you should definitely clean it once a day.
This is what you should do first: Before you clean your keyboard, you should check what type of keyboard you are using. With a mechanical keyboard, you can often remove the keycaps, but this is usually not the case with a rubber dome or simple office keyboard.
In principle, you can also find cleaning instructions in your manual that you should adhere to. It will also state whether you can detach the keycaps. However, you should always keep the following things in mind:
Disconnect the keyboard from the PC and power supply. This prevents amusing character combinations on the screen and unnecessary damage to your keyboard.
If available: Remove batteries from the keyboard and set them aside.
You should not open the keyboard with a screwdriver. Inside are the tracks of the keyboard, which you can damage by doing so. Opening the keyboard usually voids the warranty of your device!
Never clean the keyboard directly with a vacuum cleaner. Brush attachments for the vacuum cleaner are also only partially useful.
Be careful with liquids like water. These can penetrate the keyboard and damage the sensitive technology in the long term. Never submerge the keyboard in water, as this will damage the circuit board under the keys!
Check the labeling of the keys: Are the symbols printed or embossed? With printed symbols, you should be cautious with cleaning alcohol and water. Therefore, avoid harsh cleaning agents.
How can I clean my keyboard?
Here, we explain how to best approach the cleaning of a keyboard and what you need to keep in mind. We also provide some recommendations.
You should note that the tips may vary slightly depending on the keyboard, as manufacturers build their devices differently and the technology under the keys can vary.
Can you wash a keyboard? We would advise against submerging your keyboard in water or putting it in the dishwasher. There is sensitive technology under the keys that cannot withstand water. The risk is very high that you will irreparably damage the keyboard.
We will explain exactly how to proceed with the cleaning in the following section.
Remove coarse and loose dirt
For this, for example, lay out old newspapers or similar on your table. Then, turn your keyboard upside down and gently shake it so that the coarse dirt can loosen from the keyboard.
A compressed air spray can also be helpful to blow dirt out of the keyboard. However, you should not use a vacuum cleaner, as this could damage the sensitive technology under the keys.
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
Thoroughly clean keys and surfaces
To eliminate bacteria and other stubborn dirt on the keyboard, it’s best to use a cotton swab and isopropyl alcohol or another cleaning alcohol.
Tip: You can get isopropyl alcohol on Amazon as well as at your local pharmacy. Here you should use a ready-made 70% mixture. This is sufficient for cleaning your keyboard.
This is how you proceed:
Dip the cotton swab in the cleaning alcohol. It’s best to wear gloves, as isopropyl alcohol can irritate your skin.
With this cotton swab, you can now clean the gaps between the keys. You can also clean large surfaces with a cloth.
Then, you should wipe the keyboard dry with the lint-free cloth.
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
Remove keys and clean them
How do you best clean a mechanical keyboard? With most devices, you can detach the keycaps from the keyboard. These are usually mounted on the switches of the keyboard.
Before doing so, take a photo of your keyboard layout. If you are unsure whether you can remove the keys, check the manual of your keyboard.
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
Warning: Under large keys like the space, enter, or backspace keys, there may be a metal bar. Here you need to be careful when disassembling so that you don’t damage anything.
This is how you proceed:
Use a dull knife, a plastic card, or a keycap puller to remove the keys from the switches.
Next, clean the removed keys with cleaning alcohol or under running water. Alternatively, you can place the keys in a laundry bag and wash them for 15 minutes on the short cycle of the washing machine.
Then, dry the keys and let them dry for a few hours. This is important as water could otherwise penetrate the electronics of the keyboard.
Warning: Avoid harsh cleaning agents such as powerful cleaners, as the keys may just be printed. In combination with abrasive products, the print can easily come off. Also, be very careful when cleaning under water.
While the keys are drying, you can wipe down the bare keyboard with a cloth again and remove any dirt you couldn’t reach before.
Once the keys are dry, you can remount them on the keyboard. If you took a photo of your layout beforehand, you can quickly place them back correctly. For the function of the keys, the print generally doesn’t matter, but the correct layout will make it easier for many players:

What are the disadvantages? You are on the move for the entire match, which carries certain risks. Especially towards the end, enemies will often have established strong positions, and you come in later with the vehicles. You can combine this tactic with a few reconnaissance missions to not be so heavily reliant on the gas circle.
In general, this tactic can be said – the better the enemies are, the less effective the truck strategy is.
Good players are prepared for a vehicle attack, they may have thermite, C4, or a rocket launcher ready to shoot you directly from the cockpit. You also may not surprise them easily, as veterans usually keep a cool head and can anticipate what you plan to do. Additionally, skilled snipers can shoot you out of the vehicles. Since only your head is often visible, headshots are frequently successful.
Pro
Strong beginner tactic
You leverage the advantages of vehicles
Poorly equipped enemies have little chance
Works well in solo mode
Contra
The better the enemies, the less effective the tactic
If you come to the endgame areas late, enemies have better positions
Warzone Strategy 3 – The Loot Train Tactic
For several seasons, a loot train has been roaming lonely around Verdansk. In this tactic, you exploit reconnaissance missions that spawn on the train to gain an advantage for the endgame.
What should I do? At the start of the match, check if there is a reconnaissance mission on the train. If there is no mission in this match, you cannot fully benefit from the strategy.
Jump on the train with the mission – Stay together!
Eliminate all enemies that may land on or near the train
Start the reconnaissance mission and complete it
Find cover and keep an eye out for opponents
The mission will spawn again after a while – grab it and complete it
Get a loadout crate when passing a buy station
If you have enough missions, jump off the train when you are as close as possible to the last circle
Find a power position in the endgame circle
For the mission, you need to occupy a spot on the train. Since the reconnaissance will spawn repeatedly, you simply need to hold the train and you can preview the last circles. You can then quickly move to the uncovered circle or ride the train for as long as possible.
Do not let yourself be tempted to lose concentration on the train. Because you are constantly moving, any enemy team can open fire at any moment. Keep your focus and maintain your cover, then find a strong position in the last circle.
A detailed explanation and gameplay of the tactic can be found in the English video by YouTuber “JGOD,” which we embed here for you:

Why is it so strong? With this tactic, it quickly becomes clear whether it works or not. You will frequently confront other teams who also want to start the strategy. If you win your early fights, you often make it to the endgame if you stay focused. If not – restart or think of something different for this match. Here are some general tips for getting out of the Gulag.
If you have a good start, you will continuously be presented with new reconnaissance missions, allowing you to gather a pile of cash and loot. You don’t even have to move much around Verdansk and are still very well equipped.
Additionally, it is a lot of fun to zip around the city on the train initially. As long as the strategy does not become routine, the train tactic allows for a different kind of Warzone gameplay.
What are the disadvantages? The cover options on the train are not optimal. If you find yourself in a situation where you are under fire from both sides, it can get uncomfortable.
If you do not keep moving, you are also easy targets for snipers. On the train, you are often only covered from one side, and should a sniper take a look at the train, the bullet will come right after.
The biggest disadvantage of the tactic remains its unpredictability. You have no control over whether a reconnaissance mission spawns on the train in a match. Additionally, the fights at the start of the match can often be tough, and a team member may quickly go to the Gulag.
Pro
Many easy reconnaissance missions possible
There’s a lot of cash
Power position in the last circle
A train ride through Verdansk
Contra
The mission does not always spawn on the train
Often tough fights at the start
Cover on the train is not optimal
Poor Strategy: The Gas Tactic
What should I avoid? Never let yourself be driven by the gas circle towards the end of the game. While it cannot always be avoided, if you have a choice, find a spot within the circle before the gas forces you to act. You then have two significant disadvantages compared to your enemies:
Your paths become predictable because you have fewer options
You are under time pressure, further restricting your ability to act
Even though there are situations where knowing that no enemy can be behind you is beneficial, you give your enemies in front of you an advantage. They can better anticipate what you plan to do, and you cannot quickly refresh your plates because death is also approaching from behind.
The smaller the play area gets, the sooner you should seek a power position in the next circle. Use missions to know where you need to go.
In the endgame, different rules apply again, and there are special tactics here too. Soon, you will find a strategy guide on MeinMMO for that as well. In the meantime, you can check out our large list of the best weapons in Warzone.
Of all the strategies in Warzone in Verdansk, Iron’s reconnaissance strategy is considered the safest – both to reach the endgame and to secure victories.
What are the disadvantages? Once the strategy is up and running, you’ve completed the first two reconnaissance missions, and you are behaving calmly, not much can go wrong until the endgame.
The biggest disadvantage is more of a psychological one. With this tactic, you kill your entire mid-game if you apply it consistently. This can mean that you sit at your camper spot for more than 10 minutes waiting for enemies to approach. You may not be “warmed up” for the final fights, or the boredom might be bothersome.
If there’s a lot going on at your spot, you might also run into equipment shortages. 270 rounds from an automatic assault rifle can run out quickly, and if you move only a little, resupplying can be difficult.
Pro
Safest way to the endgame
You make a lot of cash
Power position in the last circle
Contra
Can be boring
Resupply can become a problem
Warzone Strategy 2 – The “Big Bertha” Tactic
With this tactic, you will use a truck (Big Bertha) for the entire match and benefit from the advantages of being in a vehicle. This strategy was especially popular at the release of Warzone and even became the meta playstyle in solo matches.
The tactic has received a rather bad reputation since it relies on trucks. However, even in pro tournaments of Warzone with high prize money, it is still frequently used and is considered a safe way to reach the endgame.
What should I do? The goal of the tactic is to fully exploit your advantages in mobility and armor with the vehicles and outmaneuver enemy teams.
You can split up or get into an SUV together and then look for a vehicle for each of you
Drive together from spot to spot until you are well equipped
Run over your enemies or overwhelm them with an attack from multiple sides
When you attack enemy teams, be sure to take a strong position when exiting the vehicle. Apply significant pressure, but ensure you are aware of how strong your position is before exiting. Use your vehicles as cover and push towards the opponents from different directions.
When you are fully equipped, you can decide: Do you want to keep driving full throttle or slow down? You can continue to comb through every spot, complete missions and deal with enemies. However, you expose yourself to the danger of losing your advantage and going down.
For a safe path to the endgame, look for a power position on a hill with each new circle and use your vehicles as mobile cover. If you are attacked, defend yourself. Otherwise, only go actively after enemies if you can run them over. Always stay in motion so that snipers can hardly hit you.

Why is it so strong? You can bridge open areas with your vehicles and ambush enemies when you attack them with multiple vehicles from different directions. You utilize the four significant advantages of the vehicles:
Vehicles are well-armored against bullets
The vehicles are faster than enemies without a car
You have a larger third-person field of view
You can run over and eliminate enemies with vehicles
In direct combat against teams, you have advantages with this tactic. You are faster, better armored, and have the initiative. You impose your play style on your enemies, and they must react accordingly. This often brings you to a better position, and you may even run over an enemy, further enhancing your standing.
Poorly equipped enemies who do not have anti-vehicle weapons or could not loot much often have no chance.

If you win your early fights, you often make it to the endgame if you stay focused. If not – restart or think of something different for this match. Here are some general tips for getting out of the Gulag.
If you have a good start, you will continuously be presented with new reconnaissance missions, allowing you to gather a pile of cash and loot. You don’t even have to move much around Verdansk and are still very well equipped.
Additionally, it is a lot of fun to zip around the city on the train initially. As long as the strategy does not become routine, the train tactic allows for a different kind of Warzone gameplay.
What are the disadvantages? The cover options on the train are not optimal. If you find yourself in a situation where you are under fire from both sides, it can get uncomfortable.
If you do not keep moving, you are also easy targets for snipers. On the train, you are often only covered from one side, and should a sniper take a look at the train, the bullet will come right after.
The biggest disadvantage of the tactic remains its unpredictability. You have no control over whether a reconnaissance mission spawns on the train in a match. Additionally, the fights at the start of the match can often be tough, and a team member may quickly go to the Gulag.
Pro
Many easy reconnaissance missions possible
There’s a lot of cash
Power position in the last circle
A train ride through Verdansk
Contra
The mission does not always spawn on the train
Often tough fights at the start
Cover on the train is not optimal
Poor Strategy: The Gas Tactic
What should I avoid? Never let yourself be driven by the gas circle towards the end of the game. While it cannot always be avoided, if you have a choice, find a spot within the circle before the gas forces you to act. You then have two significant disadvantages compared to your enemies:
Your paths become predictable because you have fewer options
You are under time pressure, further restricting your ability to act
Even though there are situations where knowing that no enemy can be behind you is beneficial, you give your enemies in front of you an advantage. They can better anticipate what you plan to do, and you cannot quickly refresh your plates because death is also approaching from behind.
The smaller the play area gets, the sooner you should seek a power position in the next circle. Use missions to know where you need to go.
In the endgame, different rules apply again, and there are special tactics here too. Soon, you will find a strategy guide on MeinMMO for that as well. In the meantime, you can check out our large list of the best weapons in Warzone.
Poorly equipped enemies who do not have anti-vehicle weapons or could not loot much often have no chance.
What are the disadvantages? You are on the move for the entire match, which carries certain risks. Especially towards the end, enemies will often have established strong positions, and you come in later with the vehicles. You can combine this tactic with a few reconnaissance missions to not be so heavily reliant on the gas circle.
In general, this tactic can be said – the better the enemies are, the less effective the truck strategy is.
Good players are prepared for a vehicle attack, they may have thermite, C4, or a rocket launcher ready to shoot you directly from the cockpit. You also may not surprise them easily, as veterans usually keep a cool head and can anticipate what you plan to do. Additionally, skilled snipers can shoot you out of the vehicles. Since only your head is often visible, headshots are frequently successful.
Pro
Strong beginner tactic
You leverage the advantages of vehicles
Poorly equipped enemies have little chance
Works well in solo mode
Contra
The better the enemies, the less effective the tactic
If you come to the endgame areas late, enemies have better positions
Warzone Strategy 3 – The Loot Train Tactic
For several seasons, a loot train has been roaming lonely around Verdansk. In this tactic, you exploit reconnaissance missions that spawn on the train to gain an advantage for the endgame.
What should I do? At the start of the match, check if there is a reconnaissance mission on the train. If there is no mission in this match, you cannot fully benefit from the strategy.
Jump on the train with the mission – Stay together!
Eliminate all enemies that may land on or near the train
Start the reconnaissance mission and complete it
Find cover and keep an eye out for opponents
The mission will spawn again after a while – grab it and complete it
Get a loadout crate when passing a buy station
If you have enough missions, jump off the train when you are as close as possible to the last circle
Find a power position in the endgame circle
For the mission, you need to occupy a spot on the train. Since the reconnaissance will spawn repeatedly, you simply need to hold the train and you can preview the last circles. You can then quickly move to the uncovered circle or ride the train for as long as possible.
Do not let yourself be tempted to lose concentration on the train. Because you are constantly moving, any enemy team can open fire at any moment. Keep your focus and maintain your cover, then find a strong position in the last circle.
A detailed explanation and gameplay of the tactic can be found in the English video by YouTuber “JGOD,” which we embed here for you:

Of all the strategies in Warzone in Verdansk, Iron’s reconnaissance strategy is considered the safest – both to reach the endgame and to secure victories.
What are the disadvantages? Once the strategy is up and running, you’ve completed the first two reconnaissance missions, and you are behaving calmly, not much can go wrong until the endgame.
The biggest disadvantage is more of a psychological one. With this tactic, you kill your entire mid-game if you apply it consistently. This can mean that you sit at your camper spot for more than 10 minutes waiting for enemies to approach. You may not be “warmed up” for the final fights, or the boredom might be bothersome.
If there’s a lot going on at your spot, you might also run into equipment shortages. 270 rounds from an automatic assault rifle can run out quickly, and if you move only a little, resupplying can be difficult.
Pro
Safest way to the endgame
You make a lot of cash
Power position in the last circle
Contra
Can be boring
Resupply can become a problem
Warzone Strategy 2 – The “Big Bertha” Tactic
With this tactic, you will use a truck (Big Bertha) for the entire match and benefit from the advantages of being in a vehicle. This strategy was especially popular at the release of Warzone and even became the meta playstyle in solo matches.
The tactic has received a rather bad reputation since it relies on trucks. However, even in pro tournaments of Warzone with high prize money, it is still frequently used and is considered a safe way to reach the endgame.
What should I do? The goal of the tactic is to fully exploit your advantages in mobility and armor with the vehicles and outmaneuver enemy teams.
You can split up or get into an SUV together and then look for a vehicle for each of you
Drive together from spot to spot until you are well equipped
Run over your enemies or overwhelm them with an attack from multiple sides
When you attack enemy teams, be sure to take a strong position when exiting the vehicle. Apply significant pressure, but ensure you are aware of how strong your position is before exiting. Use your vehicles as cover and push towards the opponents from different directions.
When you are fully equipped, you can decide: Do you want to keep driving full throttle or slow down? You can continue to comb through every spot, complete missions and deal with enemies. However, you expose yourself to the danger of losing your advantage and going down.
For a safe path to the endgame, look for a power position on a hill with each new circle and use your vehicles as mobile cover. If you are attacked, defend yourself. Otherwise, only go actively after enemies if you can run them over. Always stay in motion so that snipers can hardly hit you.

Why is it so strong? You can bridge open areas with your vehicles and ambush enemies when you attack them with multiple vehicles from different directions. You utilize the four significant advantages of the vehicles:
Vehicles are well-armored against bullets
The vehicles are faster than enemies without a car
You have a larger third-person field of view
You can run over and eliminate enemies with vehicles
In direct combat against teams, you have advantages with this tactic. You are faster, better armored, and have the initiative. You impose your play style on your enemies, and they must react accordingly. This often brings you to a better position, and you may even run over an enemy, further enhancing your standing.
Poorly equipped enemies who do not have anti-vehicle weapons or could not loot much often have no chance.
What are the disadvantages? You are on the move for the entire match, which carries certain risks.

Many ways lead to victory in Call of Duty: Warzone and even more to the endgame. Here on MeinMMO, we will show you the 3 best strategies to survive until the last gas circles and have good chances afterwards.
Every match in Call of Duty: Warzone is unique. Enemy encounters, the gas circle, your mood and play style – everything changes the “flow” of a match and presents you with new challenges.
However, there are a few planned tactics that can help you relatively easily make it to the “endgame.” The final and most crucial phase of the game. MeinMMO shows you here the 3 best and easiest tactics to secure your place in the endgame.
However, for all tactics, your start must go well. If your landing does not go optimally and everything goes wrong from the beginning, even the best tactic will not help you. If you land well and stay focused, you will usually stay in the match for a long time with our strategies.
When does the endgame start in Warzone? The endgame usually begins with the end of the 4th play area circle and the closing of the Gulag, the respawn mechanic in Warzone. By this time, the match has lasted around 20 minutes, and there are still about 5 minutes left until the decision.

The battle for the last circle decides everything.
Warzone Strategy 1 – The Iron Tactic
This tactic is inspired by one of the most successful Warzone players – Iron. At the time of this article, he is the player with the most Warzone victories and reportedly has an incredible 3,000 wins in Battle Royale according to CoD Tracker. He fully focuses on victory with his teams but compromises by making many rounds feel the same.
What should I do? The goal of the tactic is to complete 4, 5, or 6 reconnaissance missions as quickly as possible and then be the first team in the endgame area:
Split up, grab helicopters
Land at rather unpopular spots with reconnaissance missions
Meet after 2 or 3 missions
Play defensively as long as you do not have the positional advantage over enemies
After at least 4 reconnaissance missions, find a good spot within the displayed circle
Get a lot of equipment from your cash so you can bunker down
With reconnaissance missions, you can uncover many gas circles.
Advantages and Disadvantages of the Recon Tactic
Why is it so strong? If you hurry, you will be the very first in the endgame area and can choose the best position. In the endgame, you usually can only defeat good or better opponents if you take a so-called “power position,” giving you an advantage in spotting enemies and good cover. You establish this position directly.
What is a Power Position? These are positions that give you an advantage over your enemies. Such positions can have good cover, a good view of the combat area, or both combined. The most well-known is probably the “high ground” – here you are positioned above the enemy, which often gives you an advantage.
Additionally, you have a lot of cash from all the missions. There should always be a few Warzone dollars left for loadout boxes, killstreaks, and reviving teammates.
The biggest disadvantage of the tactic remains its unpredictability. You have no control over whether a reconnaissance mission spawns on the train in a match. Additionally, the fights at the start of the match can often be tough, and a team member may quickly go to the Gulag.
Pro
Many easy reconnaissance missions possible
There’s a lot of cash
Power position in the last circle
A train ride through Verdansk
Contra
The mission does not always spawn on the train
Often tough fights at the start
Cover on the train is not optimal
Poor Strategy: The Gas Tactic
What should I avoid? Never let yourself be driven by the gas circle towards the end of the game. While it cannot always be avoided, if you have a choice, find a spot within the circle before the gas forces you to act. You then have two significant disadvantages compared to your enemies:
Your paths become predictable because you have fewer options
You are under time pressure, further restricting your ability to act
Even though there are situations where knowing that no enemy can be behind you is beneficial, you give your enemies in front of you an advantage. They can better anticipate what you plan to do, and you cannot quickly refresh your plates because death is also approaching from behind.
The smaller the play area gets, the sooner you should seek a power position in the next circle. Use missions to know where you need to go.
In the endgame, different rules apply again, and there are special tactics here too. Soon, you will find a strategy guide on MeinMMO for that as well. In the meantime, you can check out our large list of the best weapons in Warzone.
Additionally, it is a lot of fun to zip around the city on the train initially. As long as the strategy does not become routine, the train tactic allows for a different kind of Warzone gameplay.
What are the disadvantages? The cover options on the train are not optimal. If you find yourself in a situation where you are under fire from both sides, it can get uncomfortable.
If you do not keep moving, you are also easy targets for snipers. On the train, you are often only covered from one side, and should a sniper take a look at the train, the bullet will come right after.
The biggest disadvantage of the tactic remains its unpredictability. You have no control over whether a reconnaissance mission spawns on the train in a match. Additionally, the fights at the start of the match can often be tough, and a team member may quickly go to the Gulag.

Poorly equipped enemies who do not have anti-vehicle weapons or could not loot much often have no chance.
What are the disadvantages? You are on the move for the entire match, which carries certain risks. Especially towards the end, enemies will often have established strong positions, and you come in later with the vehicles. You can combine this tactic with a few reconnaissance missions to not be so heavily reliant on the gas circle.
In general, this tactic can be said – the better the enemies are, the less effective the truck strategy is.
Good players are prepared for a vehicle attack, they may have thermite, C4, or a rocket launcher ready to shoot you directly from the cockpit. You also may not surprise them easily, as veterans usually keep a cool head and can anticipate what you plan to do. Additionally, skilled snipers can shoot you out of the vehicles. Since only your head is often visible, headshots are frequently successful.
Pro
Strong beginner tactic
You leverage the advantages of vehicles
Poorly equipped enemies have little chance
Works well in solo mode
Contra
The better the enemies, the less effective the tactic
If you come to the endgame areas late, enemies have better positions
Warzone Strategy 3 – The Loot Train Tactic
For several seasons, a loot train has been roaming lonely around Verdansk. In this tactic, you exploit reconnaissance missions that spawn on the train to gain an advantage for the endgame.
What should I do? At the start of the match, check if there is a reconnaissance mission on the train. If there is no mission in this match, you cannot fully benefit from the strategy.
Jump on the train with the mission – Stay together!
Eliminate all enemies that may land on or near the train
Start the reconnaissance mission and complete it
Find cover and keep an eye out for opponents
The mission will spawn again after a while – grab it and complete it
Get a loadout crate when passing a buy station
If you have enough missions, jump off the train when you are as close as possible to the last circle
Find a power position in the endgame circle
For the mission, you need to occupy a spot on the train. Since the reconnaissance will spawn repeatedly, you simply need to hold the train and you can preview the last circles. You can then quickly move to the uncovered circle or ride the train for as long as possible.
Do not let yourself be tempted to lose concentration on the train. Because you are constantly moving, any enemy team can open fire at any moment. Keep your focus and maintain your cover, then find a strong position in the last circle.
A detailed explanation and gameplay of the tactic can be found in the English video by YouTuber “JGOD,” which we embed here for you:

Why is it so strong? With this tactic, it quickly becomes clear whether it works or not. You will frequently confront other teams who also want to start the strategy. If you win your early fights, you often make it to the endgame if you stay focused. If not – restart or think of something different for this match. Here are some general tips for getting out of the Gulag.
If you have a good start, you will continuously be presented with new reconnaissance missions, allowing you to gather a pile of cash and loot. You don’t even have to move much around Verdansk and are still very well equipped.
Additionally, it is a lot of fun to zip around the city on the train initially. As long as the strategy does not become routine, the train tactic allows for a different kind of Warzone gameplay.

Of all the strategies in Warzone in Verdansk, Iron’s reconnaissance strategy is considered the safest – both to reach the endgame and to secure victories.
What are the disadvantages? Once the strategy is up and running, you’ve completed the first two reconnaissance missions, and you are behaving calmly, not much can go wrong until the endgame.
The biggest disadvantage is more of a psychological one. With this tactic, you kill your entire mid-game if you apply it consistently. This can mean that you sit at your camper spot for more than 10 minutes waiting for enemies to approach. You may not be “warmed up” for the final fights, or the boredom might be bothersome.
If there’s a lot going on at your spot, you might also run into equipment shortages. 270 rounds from an automatic assault rifle can run out quickly, and if you move only a little, resupplying can be difficult.
Pro
Safest way to the endgame
You make a lot of cash
Power position in the last circle
Contra
Can be boring
Resupply can become a problem
Warzone Strategy 2 – The “Big Bertha” Tactic
With this tactic, you will use a truck (Big Bertha) for the entire match and benefit from the advantages of being in a vehicle. This strategy was especially popular at the release of Warzone and even became the meta playstyle in solo matches.
The tactic has received a rather bad reputation since it relies on trucks. However, even in pro tournaments of Warzone with high prize money, it is still frequently used and is considered a safe way to reach the endgame.
What should I do? The goal of the tactic is to fully exploit your advantages in mobility and armor with the vehicles and outmaneuver enemy teams.
You can split up or get into an SUV together and then look for a vehicle for each of you
Drive together from spot to spot until you are well equipped
Run over your enemies or overwhelm them with an attack from multiple sides
When you attack enemy teams, be sure to take a strong position when exiting the vehicle. Apply significant pressure, but ensure you are aware of how strong your position is before exiting. Use your vehicles as cover and push towards the opponents from different directions.
When you are fully equipped, you can decide: Do you want to keep driving full throttle or slow down? You can continue to comb through every spot, complete missions and deal with enemies. However, you expose yourself to the danger of losing your advantage and going down.
For a safe path to the endgame, look for a power position on a hill with each new circle and use your vehicles as mobile cover. If you are attacked, defend yourself. Otherwise, only go actively after enemies if you can run them over. Always stay in motion so that snipers can hardly hit you.

Why is it so strong? You can bridge open areas with your vehicles and ambush enemies when you attack them with multiple vehicles from different directions. You utilize the four significant advantages of the vehicles:
Vehicles are well-armored against bullets
The vehicles are faster than enemies without a car
You have a larger third-person field of view
You can run over and eliminate enemies with vehicles
In direct combat against teams, you have advantages with this tactic. You are faster, better armored, and have the initiative. You impose your play style on your enemies, and they must react accordingly. This often brings you to a better position, and you may even run over an enemy, further enhancing your standing.
Poorly equipped enemies who do not have anti-vehicle weapons or could not loot much often have no chance.
What are the disadvantages? You are on the move for the entire match, which carries certain risks. Especially towards the end, enemies will often have established strong positions, and you come in later with the vehicles.

The survival game Valheim is in Early Access and the team has already announced new updates with additional content. The developers have now spoken a bit more about what’s to come, including mini-bosses.
What are these updates? So far, four major updates for the Steam hit Valheim have been announced. These will bring new content and significantly expand the popular game.
Update 1: Hearth and Home The update will focus on the building aspect of Valheim. It will bring more cooking recipes and new objects that you can build.
Update 2: Cult of the Wolf Cult of the Wolf will focus on the exploration of the game world and the combat. There are new encounters that will differ from previous ones. The developers want to remain deliberately mysterious about this.
Update 3: Ships and the Sea The sea and thus also sailing with ships will become more interesting and exciting. You can also further customize your boats.
Update 4: Mistlands The update brings a new biome into the game. There you will encounter more enemies, a new boss, and find new resources. Mistlands already exist on the map, but currently, nothing can be found there.
Valheim will feature more boss enemies in the future.
Prepare for new boss fights in Valheim
What is particularly interesting? Henrik Törnqvist, co-founder of Iron Gate Studios, explains that there will be significant changes regarding boss enemies. Not only will you see a new final boss in the Mistlands biome, but every new biome will also have a boss.
In the final version of the game, there will be nine biomes with nine bosses. We are also exploring the addition of mini-bosses and such things. So yes, there will be more bosses.
Henrik Törnqvist, co-founder of Iron Gate Studios
Bosses are among the highlights in Valheim. Defeating one requires not only a lot of preparation and tactics, but it also advances you, as you gain important rewards that help you progress in the game.
When will the updates come? There are no dates yet. However, they are all planned for this year. We can therefore expect that we will receive approximately one update each quarter.
Some of the content, such as the new biomes Mistlands, Deep North, and Ashlands, are already in the game but still empty. Those who are curious can still go explore them.

For a while, there have been rumors that Black Ops Cold War will get a new Zombie mode. The mode is supposed to be directly connected with Call of Duty: Warzone. Now there has been an accidental confirmation on the official website.
What happened? User TheGamingRevolution shared a screenshot on Twitter from the official Call of Duty website. There was a brief hint of the new Outbreak mode visible.
It showed the text “Welcome to Outbreak – A new, large-scale Zombie experience.” A trailer is also supposed to exist, although it was not accessible.
This hint has since been taken offline. Currently, it is speculated that the mode will be released with the upcoming Season 2.

In the Mega Team Deathmatch “Warzone Rumble”, soldiers found a mysterious machine at the spot “Hospital”. This is a challenge terminal from the Zombie mode of Cold War.
In Warzone, there have also been mysterious events since the playlist update. Players randomly experience a screen flicker while moving around the map.
Additionally, the CoD files in a leak have already found the text “Fight against the Zombie horde in Warzone and Outbreak, the brand new Black Ops Cold War Zombies mode”.
What should Outbreak offer? According to leaks, the “Outbreak” mode is supposed to take place on the large fireteam maps. It is said to be a PvE mode where you hunt Zombies and complete certain objectives.
There are even speculations that Outbreak will appear as a new open-world map for Warzone.
Once the announcement for Outbreak is out, we will keep you updated with all the information from MeinMMO.
In Destiny 2 you need to land precise death shots for various tasks. Accurate aiming rewards you with more damage – and no, it’s not always the head.
For many missions and tasks, you should land precise hits or even achieve precise death blows in Destiny 2. Where you need to hit the enemies, what advantages this brings, and how it becomes easier for you is explained in this guide by MeinMMO.
What is a precise hit in Destiny 2?
Whenever you hit a weak point of an enemy, you land a precise hit. Almost all weapons and many abilities can enable such hits.
How can I see if I’m hitting the weak point?
In many cases, the damage number appears in yellow for a precise hit. For a regular hit, it is white. However, there are a few details to consider here.
Where do I need to hit the enemy for it to be precise?
It depends on the enemy. Most of the time, the head is the weak point. However, with various aliens and robots, there are also other weak points (more on that later).
What is a precise kill in Destiny 2?
If the final shot that defeats an enemy is a precise hit, it results in a precise kill or death blow. Only the very last shot counts in this case.
[toc]
Destiny 2: Good aiming and landing precision death blows is worthwhile
What is the benefit of precision? Like most shooters, Destiny 2 rewards a steady hand. A precise hit, also called a critical hit, usually deals more damage than a hit outside the weak point.
Depending on the type and archetype of the weapon, this bonus damage varies:
With most guns, you receive between 1.4x and 1.7x damage for each precision hit.
Sniper rifles deal approximately 3x damage when you hit the weak point. Linear fusion rifles deal a bit more than 2x. So with these weapons, you should aim accurately.
Regular shotguns hardly benefit from precision – here the multiplier is around 1.1x. However, shotguns with “precision frame,” which fire only one round, benefit significantly from precise hits – about 1.7x.
Keep in mind that some types of enemies or bosses have individual modifiers.
These advantages also exist: Many perks and traits of weapons require accuracy. Some current examples:
Also, abilities like the Hunter’s throwing knife rely on the mechanic, and hits on the weak point increase super charge rate for the gunslinger.
The new exotic “Erzählung eines Toten” greatly benefits from your accuracy
That’s why you need to read carefully: Many of the available bounties, mission objectives for catalysts, or quests require precise hits or precise kills. Other tasks go much faster if you aim accurately.
Aiming better in Destiny 2 made easy
How to hit more accurately: Make sure to let some time pass after a shot or burst. This will “reset” your weapon, so to speak. This will be indicated on your crosshair (you can see it from the hip). If you shoot without pause, your crosshair will widen, and aim assist and accuracy will decrease – even with mouse and keyboard. More stability reduces this time.
If you equip suitable mods with “aiming” in the name, your accuracy with the weapon and the hidden aim assist will increase. The more range your weapon has, the more strongly all bonuses to accuracy take effect.
You can increase the enemy hitbox size with some abilities or exotics like the Divinity. This makes it significantly easier to land a precise hit.
For almost all Fallen, the Hive, and the Taken, the head is the weak point. This applies to strong Captains, small thralls, but also Knights and massive Ogres.
Enemy Guardians must be hit in the head.
Generally, if an enemy is – to a large extent – a humanoid being, aim for the head.
Cabal are usually critically hit in the head and, in many cases, also on their jetpack on their back.
For the Vex robots, the weak point is usually found in the belly – aim for the glowing white area, also known as “juice packets.”
The weak point of many Vex is their belly
Alternatively, for Hydras or Cyclops, it is the bright eye. The same goes for the mechanical Servitors; it is their bright center.
For the Taken, shoot at the large white eye.
For Ravagers, the melee fighters of the Hive with a flaming incense vessel, you need to shoot the burning keepsake.
The weak point is the burning lantern
These enemies have no weak point: Some enemies do not have a spot that you can hit critically. Others can shield their weak point. In both cases, you cannot land precise hits or kills, nor gain the advantages from them.
Among the few enemies are mainly Drones in all variations.
If an enemy shields their weak point with a shield, barricade, or immune phase, you need to break through the respective protection mechanism first.
With anti-barrier rounds from your artifact and some weapons, you can still bypass this with some enemies.
Since Destiny 1, Drones have had no crit spot
Yellow numbers do not automatically mean critical hit
That’s why you need to be careful: Especially when multiple Guardians are at work and abilities are raining down, it often seems like you’re landing precise hits – but that’s not the case. If a team member suppresses an enemy or weakens him with an arrow, body shots also appear in yellow.
Some weapons also deal precision damage but do not display it.
This includes explosive weapons like rocket launchers or grenade launchers, as well as fusion rifles and swords.
Other weapons like the Exotic Xenophage cannot score precise hits – the LMG deals the same damage regardless of where you hit.
If you have any other questions about the topic or perhaps about another mechanic? Are you a master shooter in Destiny 2 and never miss? Then share your tips and opinions with other Guardians in the comments.
Steam Reviews should help players decide whether to buy a game. Positive reviews likely lead players to be more open towards the product. This thought, or at least a similar one, seems to have inspired a clever developer.
What is this about? When browsing through Steam, you encounter many different developer names displayed directly in the game listing. For example, there is Valve, Telltale Games, or Iron Gate AB – the developers behind the current Steam hit Valheim.
Example image of a developer name on Steam: same color, different position than the reviews
The blue developer name is always on the right edge, directly below the game description. Normally, as seen here with Valheim, this is easy to spot.
However, it is striking that the review display “Extremely Positive” is kept in the exact same color as the developer and publisher name. And it was this display form that another developer wanted to use for his game.
A very positive developer
The developers of the game “Emoji Evolution” – which is no longer available on Steam – named themselves “Very Positive”. Thus, they named themselves exactly like the English version of the “Very Positive” reviews on Steam.
You can see what that looked like roughly here on Twitter:
The idea behind this name was discussed by the developer, who wished to remain unnamed, in an interview with Vice:
I knew that reviews have a big impact on customer decisions. I noticed that the publisher/developer name is located right near the reviews and has the same color, so I decided to use it for my purposes.
He assumed that users wouldn’t pay so much attention and would simply see “Very Positive”.
In the meantime, he apparently doesn’t expect much from his game. On Twitter, he says that the developer and publisher name is actually the best part of the whole project. Later, he joked whether he should rename his studio to Overwhelmingly Positive.
In the interview, the developer states that he hardly expected it to be a major problem for Steam, he saw it more as a joke. However, the story took on a life of its own and now the developer account has been banned, as he explained on Twitter:
As a result, he continued to tweet that he wanted to get in touch with Steam support. Time and again, the developer posts about the unexpected attention and threw in a remark that he is actually only guilty of having released a bad game.
He then threw in a jab: “If it’s banned on Steam to make bad games, why haven’t they banned the CDPR account yet?”
In the end, the developer explained to Vice that the attention from people means more to him than a few potential thousands of dollars. Now he has somehow produced a hit but without profit for himself or his future products.
What do you think? A clever trick, a funny joke, or an action that should be avoided?
The composer Stan LePard surprisingly passed away in February 2021. He created musical pieces for various video games, some of which you have surely heard of.
Who was Stan LePard? The composer and orchestrator Stan LePard produced musical works primarily for video games. Among the most famous are Halo, Destiny, and Guild Wars 2.
He specialized mainly in music that he recorded with an orchestra. The soundtracks often play in the background of the game but have also occasionally been used for trailers.
According to LinkedIn, Stan LePard earned his Bachelor in Music in 1980 and later specialized in Jazz and Jazz Arrangements at the University of North Texas. He has been composing for video games since 1994.
Who said goodbye to him? On Twitter, composer Maclaine Diemer, who also worked on Guild Wars 2, shared the news of Stan LePard’s passing.
Diemer revealed that the composer passed away unexpectedly.
Other composers Marty O’Donnell (formerly Halo and Destiny), Jon Everist (Necropolis, Shadowrun), and Brendon Williams (LoL, Call of Duty) also took to Twitter to express their shock. They all referred to Stan LePard as a good colleague or role model.
Stan LePard’s Most Famous Pieces
What do we know Stan LePard for? Especially players of Guild Wars 2 are likely to recognize pieces from the deceased composer. Many of his works can be found in the soundtracks for Heart of Thorns and Path of Fire.
The music for the trailer for the currently running Icebrood Saga was also composed by him.
He also composed the distinctive soundtrack “Court of the Mad King,” the intro to the annual Halloween event.

and several other games. He even created music for Windows 98 and XP (via Soundcloud). So it is very likely that during your gaming career you have come across one of his soundtracks.
If you are a fan of good soundtracks, you will regularly come across interesting pieces, especially in MMORPGs. Final Fantasy XIV, Guild Wars 2, and also World of Warcraft can impress in this regard.
Marcin “Jankos” Jankowski, the jungler of the European LoL team G2 Esports, has been surprisingly banned on the streaming platform Twitch. He jokes that he will return “purified.”
What exactly happened? Jankos stated that he was banned on Twitch for 24 hours. He did not specify a reason for it. The ban is unusual because the LoL professional is generally considered a pleasant streamer and is not involved in any scandals.
The duration of 24 hours suggests that he has violated the Terms of Service or Community Guidelines, albeit not to a significant extent.
Another reason could be a video that Jankos watched during the stream, which might have shown something suggestive that led to the ban.
How does the LoL player react to the ban? Jankos himself seems to take the 24-hour ban in stride.
On Twitter, he informed his fans that he would be live again on Thursday. There, they should be able to see the “purified” Jankos.
With that, the LoL professional indicates that streamers often claim it was a slip-up after more serious offenses and that they would improve in the future.

G2 Esports has also made headlines recently for a confrontation with Twitch streamer Nickmercs. However, he underestimated the head of the organization:
The new TOTW 21 is now available in FIFA 21. However, this Team of the Week doesn’t have too many top cards to offer this time.
When does TOTW 21 come out? The new Team of the Week has been available since 7:00 PM on Wednesday, February 17. You can now get it in packs for a week.
The chances of getting the top players are not too high. Alternatively, you can buy them on the transfer market or pull them as Player Picks from your Weekend League rewards.
This is the TOTW: As usual, the new TOTW features players who have performed particularly well in real football. They receive enhanced special cards that are also worth more on the transfer market.
Which players are in the Team of the Week this time, we will show you here.

The best cards in TOTW 21 – featuring Aubameyang
These are the 3 best cards in TOTW: Looking at the entire TOTW 21, it is noticeable that many cards are rather considered “average” or “weak” compared to other special cards.
There are many cards in the lower 80s range; absolute top players are difficult to find apart from a few exceptions.
The most interesting card in TOTW 21 is likely Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (88). The forward has very high pace and is certainly sought after by many players as a Premier League striker. He is like the grand prize in TOTW 21.
Lukaku has an equally rated card (88), but cannot quite keep up with pace and dribbling. However, he offers a powerful physical presence and good passing stats.
This week, Marcos Llorente takes 3rd place. The Spaniard was a player as a gold card in CM who early on proved to be meta-suitable and was extremely popular in midfield. However, later special cards were also convincing in the center. His new version is located on the wing, where very high pace is important – and Llorente has “only” an 88 here. Nevertheless, he has values over 80 in all areas and should be a strong all-rounder if pulled to the center.
The Bundesliga in TOTW 21
The Bundesliga is represented this week with two cards in TOTW 21.
Niakhaté from FSV Mainz is in central defense and has an overall rating of 81. His strengths lie in pace, defense, and physicality, which is good for a CB. Whether he can keep up with the top cards is questionable.
In attack, you can find Leipzig’s Nkunku with an 83-rated card. The highest rating is in dribbling, but overall it looks more like an average card.
As a silver TOTW player, midfielder Choi from Karlsruher SC is also represented.
Epic Games has been in a legal dispute with Apple for over 6 months now. This was triggered by a change to the real-money currency in Fortnite. Now the company led by Epic founder and CEO Tim Sweeney has filed another lawsuit, this time in Europe.
What happened? As Epic announced on its own website , a new lawsuit has been filed in Europe. It states that Apple has integrated a “carefully planned anticompetitive restriction” into its own store.
Tim Sweeney stated in the post, which is illustrated with the slogan “Free Fortnite”:
Consumers have the right to install apps from sources of their choice, and developers have the right to compete in a fair market. We will not stand idly by and allow Apple to use its platform dominance to control what should be a level digital playing field.
This is bad for consumers, who pay inflated prices due to the lack of competition between stores and in-app payment processing. And it is bad for developers, whose livelihoods often depend on Apple’s complete discretion over who they allow on the iOS platform and under what conditions.
Epic has previously sued Apple in the USA, the UK, and Australia.
Epic CEO wants to change the gaming industry
What is the lawsuit about? In August 2020, Epic decided to sell the currency V-Bucks directly in the iOS version of Fortnite. Previously, the currency had to be purchased through the App Store, which incurred additional fees that went to Apple.
Sweeney claims to want to change the gaming industry. He is disturbed that (indie) developers are at the mercy of the stores and have to pay large sums for the service.
Apple allegedly retains up to 30% of the revenues through the App Store, whether for game or in-game purchases. There is no way to offer the app outside of the proprietary store on iOS devices. This is exactly what is being criticized.
Epic is not only fighting against Apple: Besides the lawsuit against Apple, Epic is also trying to encourage competitor Steam to rethink. Here too, developers have to give up to 30% of their revenues.

The official introduction video for the Xbox Wireless Headset
Xbox Wireless Headset – What it can do
What features does it offer? The headset offers you both Xbox Wireless and Bluetooth functionality. If you connect the headset to the console, you don’t need an additional adapter with Xbox Wireless. According to the manufacturer, the battery life is said to be around 15 hours.
Practical here is the ability to connect multiple devices via Xbox Wireless and Bluetooth. This same feature is offered by both SteelSeries’ Arctis 9X and Razer’s Kaira Pro for a significantly higher price.
Additionally, the device supports spatial sound technologies like Windows Sonic, Dolby Atmos, and DTS Headphone: X.
What’s included in the package? According to the official site, you receive a USB-C charging cable and a typical user manual along with the gaming headset. An Xbox Wireless or Bluetooth adapter is not included.
If you want to use “Xbox Wireless” on PC, you will need to purchase an adapter separately. This costs around €20.
This is what the “Xbox Wireless Headset” looks like
This is how the headset looks: In addition to the official product video, there are already people who have unboxed the headset. The YouTube channel “Xbox On” has already unpacked the headset and shows you in its unboxing video how the headset looks. We have embedded the (English) video here for you:

Reactions: “This should have happened much earlier”
This is how users are reacting to the headset: Both under the official YouTube video and in the unboxing video from “Xbox On”, many people comment on the new gaming headset.
Positive comments: Many have apparently been waiting for Microsoft to introduce headphones or a headset for the Xbox at some point. Users comment under the YouTube video and in the Xbox subreddit:
“Definitely feels like something that should have happened years ago.”
“It looks really great. RIP all overpriced $300 devices from third-party manufacturers.”
“Microsoft: Hello, are you interested in a wireless headset?” Me: “Take my money.”
“The headset looks very clean.”
Especially the simple and clear design is praised, without unnecessary frills like RGB lighting and some are also comparing it to the Pulse headset of the PlayStation 5.
Some are already suggesting to Microsoft, “Why not sell a super bundle with Xbox Series X, Elite 2 controller, and Xbox headset for $800?”
This is what critical voices say: However, there are also voices that view the headset critically:
“It’s a shame that they only support SBC, meaning audio quality when listening to music via Bluetooth will be miserable compared to other Bluetooth headphones that use AAC and/or aptX (like Microsoft’s own Surface Headphones).”
“You should solve the known issues with wireless headsets that disconnect controllers from the console (necessitating a hard reset of the console) before introducing and marketing a headset.”
“I will wait for a review before I order one.”
What is this desync issue? The desync issue of the Xbox controller addresses a problem that Microsoft has already stated it wants to address swiftly.

The Turtle Beach gaming headset delivers good sound quality and provides high comfort for glasses wearers due to its glasses-friendly design. Weighing only 298 grams, the headset does not feel heavy on the head. The built-in wireless function is also exemplary.
Critically noted are especially the average microphone and the cheap-feeling materials. However, you only pay around €100 for the device. For just around €50 more, you can get the Turtle Beach 700 Gen 2, which has better materials.
