What you should consider when buying a television

What is VRR? VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) is a technology that synchronizes the frame rate between the display and the graphics card. The technology adjusts the frame rate when the frame rate drops significantly. This prevents stuttering or tearing effects in images (also known as tearing).

What is ALLM? ALLM (or Auto Low Latency Mode) is a feature of HDMI 2.1. This allows the PC or game console to control all connected compatible devices simultaneously. When you start a game, for example, all devices will switch to the mode with the lowest latency. Anyone who plays regularly or competitively should consider this when buying.

WoW: Attention Kyrians and Venthyr – Your adventurers are now really strong

Cortyn 1. February 2021 Reading time 3 minutes

The adventurers of the Kyrians and Venthyr in WoW have been massively buffed. Changes of up to 400% more performance have been made.

In World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, all four major covenants have different bonuses. However, one of them is identical across all: the mission table. Here, players can send their followers on missions to bring back gold, anima, mount, equipment, or useful runes. However, there have been complaints for a long time that the tasks for some covenants are too difficult. Especially the Kyrians and Venthyr were too weak.

Now Blizzard has massively strengthened the adventurers of the Kyrians and Venthyr while simultaneously nerfing the “Easy Mode” strategy for Night Fae. We reveal what changes are happening.

This has been changed: The list of changes is long. Basically, many adventurers in the Venthyr and Kyrians now have more health and deal more damage or healing. You can find a detailed list of all the changes here:

Kyrian Adventurers

Pelagos now has 20% more health.
Teliah’s spells are 18% more effective.
Kythekios has 50% more attack power.
Telethakas has 100% more health and spells are 167% more effective.
Hala has 17% additional health, attack power has been increased by 50%, and spells are 30% more effective.
Molako has 67% more health and spells are 33% more effective.
Ispiron has 33% more attack power.
Nemea has 33% more attack power and spells are 50% more effective.
Pelodis has 33% more attack power and spells are 50% more effective.
Disciple Kosmas has 20% more health.
Bron has 50% more attack power.
Apolon has 25% more health and spells are 100% more effective.

Venthyr Adventurers

General Draven has 25% more health.
Nadjia the Mistblade has 30% more health.
Theotar has 25% more health and spells are 30% more effective.
Stonecaster has 25% more health.
Kaletar the Healer has 20% more health and spells are 67% more effective.
Ayeleth the Plundered has 38% more health and spells are 43% more effective.
Rahel has 40% more health and spells are 100% more effective.
Stonehead has 25% more health, the cooldown of his spell has been increased from 2 rounds to 4 rounds, and its effectiveness has been increased by 400%.
Simone has 38% more health.
Bogdan’s spells are 150% more effective.
Thela Soulshredder has 38% more health.
Grub Greasegut has 14% more health.
Nerith Darkwing has 38% more health.
Lost Sybille has 50% more health and spells are 40% more effective.
Vulca has 25% more health and spells are 25% more effective.

Night Fae Adventurers

The Trapsmiths of Ardenweald have been reworked. Their ability Thorn Trap now has a 1-round cooldown and ensures that vines entangle all enemies, dealing a bit of damage to them and reducing damage from the next attack of affected enemies by 20%.

This fixes a bug that caused the old damage reduction to be permanently active. This had led to the Night Fae essentially being able to complete every mission if they only brought 4 Trapsmiths and a healer. This is no longer possible.

When do the changes go live? They are already live. Unlike the buffs for 10 specializations, these improvements went live with a hotfix. You should immediately notice that your adventurers in the Venthyr and Kyrians now have significantly more “power”.

What is the consequence of the changes? Essentially, the Kyrians and Venthyr should now also be able to reliably handle most adventures. While it was possible before, it involved a high degree of planning even for seemingly easier missions. Night Fae, on the other hand, can no longer fill every mission with troops to win easily. They now also need to rely more on their adventurers to complete the toughest tasks.

Do you still use the mission table regularly? Have you already received some cool mounts from the quests? Or is the table not worth the anima for you?

Which classes are currently really strong in “Mythic+”, we have discussed here.

Noah Struthoff 1. February 2021 Reading time 11 minutes

There are many fighting games on the gaming market. But which of these fighter games are really good in 2021 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PC, and Nintendo Switch?

No matter if playing with friends or against the AI: Fighting on all platforms is fun. We will give you a recommendation of the best fighting games and tell you why we think these games are the best fighting games in the action game sub-genre.

Injustice 2

Developer: NetherRealm Studios | Platform: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Mobile | Release Date: May 11, 2017| Age Rating: 16 and up

What is Injustice 2? Injustice 2 is a fighting game by the makers of “Mortal Kombat.” Its predecessor “Injustice: Gods Among Us” was released in 2013, starting a new era of fighting games.

In Injustice 2, you take on the role of DC heroes and can engage in classic good vs evil battles against each other. In addition to normal 1-on-1 fights, you can also complete various missions and play through a multi-hour campaign.

Who fights here? The entire DC universe comes to battle. A total of 38 fighters are available for selection. Whether it’s Batman, The Flash, or Superman, or the villains like the Joker or Harley Quinn. Less-known characters like Cheetah are also ready to fight. A DLC even introduced the Turtles and Hellboy.

Why fighting here is particularly good:

Beginner-friendly due to relatively easy-to-memorize combat techniques
The battle arenas also serve as interactive environments that you can use for your fight
The story campaign lasts about 6 hours and promises, with elaborate cutscenes, a narrative that enhances immersion
Regularly appearing challenges and DLCs give players something to do
Through numerous modifications and equipment items, characters can be altered
- This type of customization is refreshing for the genre and motivates players

Who is Injustice 2 for? Especially fans of DC Comics and the DC movies will have fun. But also fans of story campaigns for single players will get their money’s worth. The story is cinematic and promises a spectacular narrative.

The recognizability of the characters is extremely high, and due to the various missions you need to complete, which have incredible depth, you often forget that the pure fighting is at the forefront.

The game is ideal for fighting beginners. The controls are quickly understood, and the campaign only gets harder over time. The learning curve in the game is low, and you can quickly get into the game. Therefore, the game is also great for quick matches between friends, even if one half has never played it before.

On page 2, we continue with a classic from Nintendo.

LoL Wild Rift: Patch 2.1 brings 6 new champions one by one

Alexander Leitsch 1. February 2021 Reading time 2 minutes

In League of Legends: Wild Rift the new patch 2.1 will be released in February. This brings interesting innovations for tournaments and a total of 6 new champions that will be released gradually.

What does the patch bring? With the launch of patch 2.1, Riot Games will release replays and a spectator mode. This allows you to watch both in custom games and your friends.

For Wild Rift, this is an important step to enable tournaments and corresponding shoutcasts.

During patch 2.1, a total of 6 champions will also be released, all of whom are already known from the PC version.

When will patch 2.1 be released? So far, there is no exact release date. Only February has been mentioned as the month. The patch will run until April, when the next update 2.2 will be released.

During the patch cycle, however, there will be further updates addressing balance and hotfixes. These will then have the additions 2.1a, 2.1b, and so on.

These 6 champions are coming to Wild Rift

First, the two champions Xayah and Rakan (featured image) are set to find their way into the mobile version of LoL. They could appear very soon after the release of patch 2.1.

They will complement the already existing 55 champions.

For March, champions Katarina, Leona, Diana, and Pantheon are planned. They will come along with the event “The Path of Ascension,” just like Teemo and the other 4 Yordles were introduced with an event recently.

What else will happen in patch 2.1? Throughout the update, the new skin lines “Omegatrupp” and “Projekt” will be released. The developers also emphasized in the blog post that they have not yet disclosed all changes and features.

In 2021, a full release, more champions, and a new game mode are also planned. You can find out more about it here: LoL Wild Rift will get a new game mode in 2021 that many have wished for.

Is the MMORPG AION in crisis? Private servers supposedly have more players than the official ones

Andreas Bertits 1. February 2021 Reading time 2 minutes

How is the MMORPG AION doing currently? The game has faced severe criticism after the introduction of an autoplay feature.

What about AION? The MMORPG seems to be in a crisis. Looking at the server load of the EU servers at AionInfo, it can be seen that even the strongest server is only at 32% capacity. This corresponds to a population of about 1500 to 1800 players. On Steam, the MMORPG has only around 478 concurrent players at peak, according to Steamcharts, over the past 30 days.

Furthermore, the financial report from NCSoft indicates that the second quarter of 2020 was the weakest since the release of AION in 2008.

Players want the classic AION back

What is the reason for this? AION introduced a new feature about half a year ago. Update 7.9 allowed players to engage in auto-hunting. This is essentially autoplay, which is common in mobile MMORPGs. This feature allows the following functions:

You set a specific sequence of skills to be used in automatic combat
The character independently seeks out monsters to fight
Your hero automatically consumes potions when your hit points fall below a certain value.
It is even possible to automatically sell items when the inventory is full.

The feature was quite controversial upon its introduction and has divided the community. A little more than half were upset about the introduction, while the others did not care.

Moreover, AION fans have long been wishing for classic servers. This has caused a significant surge in Korea. The local community is still waiting to indulge in nostalgic memories again.

What is the alternative? There are private servers of AION that offer classic gaming experiences. Without naming names, the player counts on these servers range between 1,000 and 3,000 players. Thus, the most successful one currently seems to have a higher population than the largest European server.

This, however, cannot be confirmed 100%. It is said that the capacity of an official AION server is 5,000. With a utilization of 32% (as mentioned above), that translates to an average of 1,600 players currently.

One must simply rely on the claims of the private servers. Therefore, the information should be taken with caution.

Even if the MMORPG AION currently seems to be struggling, it still belongs to the 13 best free-to-play MMORPGs in comparison.

Fallout 76 is soon bringing loadouts that are so important for you

Benedict Grothaus 1. February 2021 Reading time 3 minutes

With the new update for the test server, Fallout 76 brings one of the changes that players have been wishing for a long time and which was supposed to be released in 2020. Skill loadouts allow for quick switching between different builds – and they are not the only major innovation.

What are loadouts? Fallout 76 will soon allow you to use different combinations of perks from the game in loadouts that you can easily switch between. This way, you can build two builds simultaneously and choose which one you currently need.

With the upcoming skill loadouts, you can reset your S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats for free, which was previously only possible through lengthy level-ups. This allows you to easily create multiple loadouts or builds.

The feature was originally announced in the roadmap for 2020, but was postponed after the “Steel Dawn” update to 2021. For the community, loadouts and the free redistribution of S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats have been frequently requested wishes.

Skill loadouts are an important change

What do I get from the loadouts? The builds allow you to engage in different activities with the same character without having to constantly shuffle perk cards back and forth or even having to change attributes first. For example, you can:

use one loadout for combat and another for building
create different weapon and armor loadouts, for example for power armor
assemble loadouts for solo and group play
specialize perks for specific areas, like those with high radiation or for boss encounters

At the start, only two loadouts will be available per character. More may be unlockable in the future, possibly through the Atom Shop, as Bethesda states.

How can I use them? From level 25 onwards, you can set and switch loadouts at card machines in your camp or at train stations, completely for free. So it will likely not be possible everywhere and at all times, but at least in these “rest areas”.

The update itself will be deployed to the test server of Fallout 76 from Friday, February 5 (PC; Bethesda.net). The new content will later come in an official update. When that will be is still not determined.

Further changes to camps, melee combat, and more

After the increase of storage capacity already fulfilled a major wish of the community, the PTS update will bring additional important content. Along with the loadouts, several useful changes and some that are meant to improve quality of life will come:

Camp slots: You can build up to three different camps at different locations and switch between them
aim assist for controllers will be improved and crosshairs will now remain on the target when aiming
when crafting, large quantities can now be produced via a slider
daily operations will grant more rewards and receive new locations, such as the old raid Vault 96
the world map will display more activities, such as radiated areas
the melee system will be overhauled

The upcoming PTS update contains a lot of changes that should improve Fallout 76. After the developers laid the groundwork for a better game in 2020, they are already delivering the first tests with improvements that many players desire in 2021. You can learn more about the upcoming year in our outlook, how Fallout 76 will continue in 2021.

I still can’t cope with an annoying PS5 change after 3 months

Sven Galitzki 1. February 2021 Reading time 4 minutes

Shooter expert Sven Galitzki is very satisfied with the new console after almost 3 months with the PlayStation 5. However, he still cannot get used to one change compared to the PS4.

Here’s how I reflect on the first months with the PS5: Although many players are still waiting to get their hands on a PS5 – it has indeed been almost 3 months since the PlayStation 5 was released. On November 12, it was available in the USA, Canada, Japan, and some other countries, while on November 19, it was finally available in Germany and the rest of Europe.

I have now spent almost 3 months on Sony’s new console and have been very happy with it so far. My console has not been loud or warm, and fortunately, I have been spared from other technical issues or teething problems like the annoying coil whine or crashes. I have also gotten used to the acute storage shortage and the now somewhat more complicated party function compared to the PS4.

Nevertheless, there is one thing that really bothers me on the PS5 – every single day, every time I turn on the console. Or rather, every time I have to turn it off…

Why, Sony? Why?

This is the change we are talking about: With the PS5, Sony has not only upgraded the user interface, but also changed an essential function of the PS4 within the new DualSense controller of the PlayStation 5.

If you want to turn off the PS4 using the controller, you have to hold down the PlayStation button on the DualShock 4 for a longer time. Then the quick menu appears, where I can shut down the console or put it into rest mode with a few clicks.

If you just tap the PlayStation button on the PS4 once briefly, you would go to the main page of the UI.

On the PS5, it is now different. To access the equivalent of the quick menu on the PlayStation 5, you must now briefly tap the PS button on the controller. If you hold it down as before on the PS4, you now go to the main page of the UI.

That doesn’t sound too bad so far; it’s basically just been flipped, right? It almost sounds like a luxury problem…

What’s so bad about it? Although it may seem that way – for me and many others I have spoken with about this issue, it is actually a really annoying thing. This small, seemingly trivial change is regularly driving me and many other PS5 owners up the wall.

After 7 years with the PS4, the pressing of the PS button has been so ingrained in my muscle memory that my brain still cannot process this change after almost 3 months with Sony’s new console. Every single time I want to turn off the PS5, I don’t end up in the quick menu, but on the overview page, and then, frustrated and often cursing, I have to navigate to the correct menu. And there doesn’t seem to be any improvement in sight.

Although I prefer the old quick menu of the PS4 – objectively speaking, I don’t even need more clicks on the PS5 to turn off the console this way. However, subjectively for me and some others, this small change plays a massive role. And unfortunately, you can’t change that – at least not currently.

What on earth was Sony thinking, changing such an essential fundamental function that must have become second nature to almost every long-time PlayStation player? For me, it feels like suddenly switching the accelerator and brake pedals in a car after driving for 50 years – simply inexplicable. I hope that it will be possible to adjust this differently in the future.

What about you? What do you think after the first months of the PS5? Are there things that annoy you extremely, or things you think were actually better on the PS4? What do you particularly like about the PlayStation 5? Or do you think this is all a luxury problem and would be happy if you could even own a PS5?

By the way, if you are waiting for the next ordering opportunity: When will the PS5 finally be available for purchase again? The current status in 2021

Destiny 2 will no longer be a bounty simulator – More bounties should help

Philipp Hansen 1. February 2021 Reading time 4 minutes

In Destiny 2, seasonal challenges are introduced in Season 13. They are meant to replace bounties and reward you generously with Glimmer for the Eververse.

What’s new: Destiny 2 will launch its 13th season on February 9. This season brings numerous changes, including the new seasonal challenges.

These will guide you week by week through the season and replace many bounties that have become quite annoying for many players.
The challenges reward you with Glimmer for the Eververse and experience points and are meant to even reduce FOMO (fear of missing out).
However, Guardians criticize that seasonal challenges are mostly just bounties with a new name.

What’s behind bounty fatigue? Some Guardians joke that Destiny 2 deserves the nickname “Bounty Simulator.” Before the action begins, players stack up numerous quests from all the NPCs. Tasks like “how to achieve X kills with element Y” are meticulously completed and then redeemed. This mainly provides experience and, in some cases, valuable Glimmer for the Eververse, the cash shop.

On one hand, it’s cool – it gives you a small goal in your activity that brings progress. The problem: Destiny 2 is flooded with bounties and they dictate the gameplay and quest design significantly. Even during events, you move from bounty to bounty.

Already in May 2020, MeinMMO stated that bounties are a core activity of Destiny 2 and addressed the issue.

At least recently, you can now accept bounties via smartphone in orbit, so you don’t have to visit every NPC in person. Here is an official guide from Bungie.

Seasonal challenges in Season 13 of Destiny 2

This is how the system works: In the first 10 weeks of a season, you automatically receive seasonal challenges. Each week, you will find 3 to 10 new tasks in a new menu. These tasks grant you experience, Glimmer, or seasonal items. Additionally, the weekly bounties from NPCs will be removed from Season 13 onwards.

The special thing: The challenges can be completed retroactively. For example, you can tackle the tasks from week 1 and week 2 if you did not complete the challenges back then or took a break from Destiny. After week 10 of a season, no further challenges will be added. A season typically lasts 12 to 13 weeks.

Such tasks await: Bungie already gave a small preview of possible challenges for Season 13 in the TWaB from January 28 (via Bungie.net):

Defeat the Primeval Invaders in Gambit
Complete Gambit matches
Defeat enemies in “Nightfall: The Ordeal” with seasonal weapons
Defeat Fallen
Earn Recklessness or Valor ranks
Earn ritual weapons and their cosmetic ornaments
Win rounds in Trials of Osiris
Complete a Grandmaster Nightfall

However, not all tasks are meant to be as challenging as a victory in the Trials. The goal is rather to provide a rough roadmap for the season and offer players a broad range of possible playstyles.

Glimmer for the bounties, uh, challenges

This is the reward: Since the weekly bounties will be removed, which were the main source of Glimmer, the resource will now move to the challenges. If you master individual challenges, you will receive different amounts of Glimmer.

The seasonal challenges are intended to be completable by 60% of players who do not own a season pass. However, only these 60% reward Glimmer.

Moreover, if you complete enough challenges by the end of a season, you will receive a big chunk of Glimmer.

6,000 Glimmer for free seasonal activities
4,000 Glimmer if you complete almost all seasonal challenges.

Where else does Glimmer come from?

7,500 Glimmer is included in the free path of the season pass, which all Guardians automatically have.
3,000 Glimmer is included in the premium path for season pass owners.
The weekly ritual vendor challenge (complete 8 bounties) yields 120 Glimmer each time – If you complete all of them every week, you can reach a total of 14,040 Glimmer in Season 13.
The daily and repeatable bounties remain in the game, and for events, you will still deal with bounties that reward Glimmer.

The total amount of Glimmer is not really more than before. The advantage now is that the challenges are account-wide. So you don’t have to slavishly grind out bounties with all 3 characters for a decent amount of Glimmer. Overall, especially average Guardians are likely to have more Glimmer available starting Season 13 – if the challenges are completable for them.

This is how it’s received by the Guardians

The retroactive nature of the seasonal challenges and the fact that some tasks are quite challenging is well received by the Guardians. Also, the fact that you don’t have to scour every NPC anymore, but have everything compressed in one tab, is appreciated.

This is the criticism: However, some Guardians wonder whether Bungie simply renamed bounties to seasonal challenges and thereby just gave the problem a new name. The feeling of “I have to meticulously complete a task list to play Destiny correctly” remains for them.

What do you think? Are seasonal challenges just bounties that do not expire after a week? Or will you wait and see what the tasks entail, viewing it as a positive step towards less FOMO and bounty fatigue? Let us know in the comments.

Will Guardians have access to more weapons like swords in the future? Destiny 2 is talking about a fix for the annoying PvP phenomenon and hints at new weapons

The 10 most popular weapons in CoD Warzone in February 2021 – With the players’ setups

Maik Schneider 1. February 2021 Reading time 6 minutes

In Call of Duty: Warzone, there are now over 70 primary weapons, and many weapons are considered stronger and more viable than ever. MeinMMO shows you the currently most popular firearms with a short explanation and setup.

In the battle royale Call of Duty: Warzone, strong weapons often define themselves through an appealing mix of power and stability. However, developers frequently adjust the weapon balancing, add new firearms, or change the old ones. To keep you informed about what’s currently happening with weapons in the Warzone, you will find here on MeinMMO the current most popular weapons among players.

Where do the data come from? This ranking listed here comes from the data tool “WZ Ranked”. On this page, you can find detailed data sets of your matches, but also large rankings of the most popular weapons and their setups. The 10 weapons listed here were used in the week from January 25th to 31st.

However, there are limitations. The CoD developers closed a data interface (API) a few weeks ago, and players now have to manually access this on “callofduty.com” to become part of the data sets. Previously, this interface was open by default. “WZ Ranked” states that they can currently analyze between 2% and 6% of the global loadout data sets and thus provide a good cross-section of the weapons used.

The 10 most popular weapons in Warzone – End of January 2021

MAC-10 – Submachine Gun from Cold War
Kar 98k – DMR from CoD MW
Kilo 141 – Assault Rifle from CoD MW
Grau 5.56 – Assault Rifle from CoD MW
FFAR 1 – Assault Rifle from Cold War
CR-56 AMAX – Assault Rifle from CoD MW
M4A1 – Assault Rifle from CoD MW
MP5 – Submachine Gun from CoD MW
M13 – Assault Rifle from CoD MW
HDR – Sniper Rifle from CoD MW

After the long-requested nerf of the overpowered DMR 14, only 2 weapons from Cold War can hold their ground in the top 10 of the Warzone. However, the DMR remains strong and lands in 11th place on the ranking, thus falling out of the list.

“WZ Ranked” additionally shows the most used setups alongside the ranking. In the following paragraphs, you will find a short description of the weapons regarding their use case and the most popular attachment combinations.

You can find MeinMMO’s list of the best weapons in Warzone and setups here:

More on the topic

CoD Warzone: The best weapons with setups – Meta in Mid-Season 5 / October 2022

von Maik Schneider

10. HDR – Long Range Sniper with High Precision: 3 %

What can the weapon do? The HDR is a true sniper: precise, stable, and deadly. However, it also feels slow. For secure hits over long distances in the Warzone, the HDR is your best companion.

Warzone HDR Setup

Muzzle: Suppressor (Monolithic)
Barrel: 26.9″ HDR Pro
Laser: Tactical Laser
Optic: Variable Zoom Scope
Stock: FTAC Champion

9. M13 – The Most Stable Assault Rifle: 3.1 %

What can the weapon do? The M13 fires quickly and precisely and is a true laser with attachments. However, it burns through ammunition and causes little damage per bullet.

Warzone M13 Setup

Muzzle: Suppressor (Monolithic)
Barrel: Tempus Marksman
Optic: VLK 3.0x Scope
Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip
Ammo: 60-round magazine

8. MP5 from CoD MW – Strong Performer Since Release: 3.8 %

What can the weapon do? This MP has been among the top tier since the Warzone release and can still be considered one of the best SMGs in the Warzone. The close combat weapon offers a good mix of damage and relatively high range for an SMG.

Warzone MP5 CoD MW Setup

Barrel: Suppressor (integrated, subsonic)
Laser: 5mW Laser
Stock: FTAC Folding
Underbarrel: Merc Foregrip
Ammo: 45-round magazine

7. M4A1 – Best Mix of Strengths & Weaknesses: 4.8 %

What can the weapon do? The M4 is like the MP5 of assault rifles. Also a standout since the Warzone release, it offers a good balance of damage, stability, and handling. A strong choice for players who find the Grau too weak and the AMAX too wobbly.

Warzone M4A1 Setup

Muzzle: Suppressor (Monolithic)
Barrel: M16 Grenadier
Optic: VLK 3.0x Scope
Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip
Ammo: 60-round magazine

6. CR-56 AMAX – Hard Hits and Good Range: 5.6 %

What can the weapon do? The AMAX hits hard and deals very high damage. However, its painful hits come with a bit of stability, making its recoil significantly more noticeable than that of the M4A1.

Warzone CR-56 AMAX Setup

Muzzle: Suppressor (Monolithic)
Barrel: XRK Zodiac S440
Optic: VLK 3.0x Scope
Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip
Ammo: 45-round magazine

5. FFAR 1 – A Real Grenade Up to 60 Meters: 6.2 %

What can the weapon do? The only assault rifle from Cold War on the list also shines with damage but also has a high fire rate. The FFAR 1 can compete with SMGs, but from 60 meters onwards, it becomes difficult and harder to hit consistently.

Warzone FFAR 1 Setup

Muzzle: Agency Suppressor
Barrel: 19.5″ Special Forces
Stock: Stealth Stock
Underbarrel: Field Agent Grip
Ammo: Fast Fire 50-round magazine

4. Grau 5.56 – Outstanding Stability Still In Demand: 7.1 %

What can the weapon do? The Grau was the summer hit of 2020 in the Warzone and not a one-hit wonder. Despite several nerfs, the very stable weapon remains popular and enters our charts in 4th place.

Warzone Grau 5.56 Setup

Muzzle: Suppressor (Monolithic)
Barrel: Tempus 26.4″ Archangel
Optic: VLK 3.0x Scope
Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip
Ammo: 60-round magazine

3. Kilo 141 – Still in Business Despite Major Nerf: 9 %

What can the weapon do? The Kilo was at the top of the weapon rankings before the integration of Cold War into the Warzone the lonely peak. It becomes very stable after a few shots and deals more damage than the Grau. However, it received a significant range nerf and now requires a lot of bullets at long distances. Since it is still very precise, it remains popular.

Warzone Kilo 141 Setup

Muzzle: Suppressor (Monolithic)
Barrel: Singuard Arms 19.7″ Predator
Optic: VLK 3.0x Scope
Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip
Ammo: 60-round magazine

2. Kar 98k – World War Weapon Modernized Like Never Before: 12.9 %

What can the weapon do? The Kar can knock out enemies with a headshot like a big sniper weapon. However, it is significantly more mobile. It shines with high bullet velocity but lacks in target stability.

Warzone Kar 98k Setup

Muzzle: Suppressor (Monolithic)
Barrel: Singuard Custom 27.6″
Laser: Tactical Laser
Optic: Scope
Grip: Patterned Grip Tape

1. MAC-10 – Fast-Firing SMG in Almost Every 6th Loadout: 16.2 %

What can the weapon do? With a considerable distance ahead of other automatic weapons, a “Cold War” weapon can secure the top spot. The MAC-10 has good damage, decent range for an SMG, and allows you to control the high fire rate well. It is a strong secondary weapon if you know its limits and when to use it.

Warzone MAC-10 Setup

Muzzle: Agency Suppressor
Barrel: 5.9″ Special Forces
Stock: SAS Combat Stock
Underbarrel: Field Agent Grip
Ammo: STANAG 53-round drum

The right weapon already brings you a decent part of the rent in Verdansk, but it is still no guarantee for a victory. Much depends on making the right decisions in a fraction of a second and outplaying enemies. Sometimes some tricks that every good player should know can help you to be a step ahead at the crucial moment.

Star Trek Online celebrates 11th anniversary, but that causes trouble

Andreas Bertits 1. February 2021 Reading time 2 minutes

The 11th anniversary of the MMORPG Star Trek Online (PC, PS4/PS5, Xbox One and Series X/S) should actually be a reason to celebrate. However, the anniversary package has made players furious.

What is being celebrated? For the 11th anniversary of Star Trek Online, Cryptic Studios is selling a new bundle. The 2021 Anniversary Legendary Bundle offers the first legendary Klingon ships. After all, we are currently also celebrating the Year of the Klingons in an MMORPG, which is also fun to play solo.

An anniversary that infuriates STO fans

Why is there trouble now? Players find the content of the bundle inappropriate for the anniversary and also not suitable for the Year of the Klingons. There are only 4 ships in the package and only two of them are Klingon vessels.

Some STO fans believe that this bundle could have negative effects. Since it is not that good, it might sell poorly. This could mean that there may not be any more legendary Klingon ships because it might be assumed that they did not fare well in the anniversary bundle.

ryoten34 writes on reddit: “Seriously Cryptic? You had to include two Federation ships in this new pack instead of 4 Klingon ships? Come on.”
trekfangrrrl says (via reddit): “Cryptic has created a REALLY bad situation with this bundle and here’s why:
It will not sell as well as others because it is a bad bundle (for many reasons). This also means that the first legendary KDF ships may not sell well, which could affect whether they bring more.”
trekgasm is also disappointed (via reddit): “If this is the KDF version of the legendary bundle, it is an Epic Fail – Sorry, but that’s true.”
millard_audene sees it a bit differently (via reddit): “I know you were strapped under a heat lamp with the earlier announcement of the new legendary anniversary bundle, but I wanted to take a moment to thank you all for the mostly well-received anniversary event.”

How are the developers responding? Community Manager Kael from Cryptic Studios has commented on the criticism:

Ok, I’m stepping in quickly here because I don’t want to raise false hopes. This is the big Legendary bundle for this year. There may be other Legendary bundles this year, including one that I believe you will enjoy based on today’s reactions, but they will be on the scale of the Romulan, Discovery, and Mirror bundles. There are no plans for a bundle with ten ships, I’m sorry.

What do you think about the STO anniversary bundle? Are you also disappointed?

How absurd some WoW characters look in China

Cortyn 1. February 2021 Reading time 3 minutes

In the Chinese version of World of Warcraft, some characters have been replaced. Some of them look quite silly.

Most of you probably already know that the Chinese version of World of Warcraft looks a bit different than the rest of the world. Not only are there different rules for loot, but adjustments are also made to the models of the characters.

Where are there many adjustments? Most of these changes to the characters are found in the area of Maldraxxus. This is one of the new zones from WoW: Shadowlands. It revolves around strength and undead creatures. These are classically depicted in Warcraft with many visible bones. But not so in the Chinese version of World of Warcraft. There, some models have been specially revised or even completely replaced by other models to show fewer bones.

Which characters are affected? The user Yodragon shared on Twitter some images showing the different models.

Particularly noteworthy are Globgrog and Countess Stradama. They are both bosses from the dungeon Plaguefall, primarily consisting of the namesake plague. Their bodies are made of slime and filled with the remains of various humanoid beings. In China, these skeletons are absent, as the two models have a lower transparency, so you can’t see what is happening inside.

With the various foot soldiers of Maldraxxus, Blizzard even employed an old trick. The Shadowlands model of the emaciated bone warriors with thin skin has simply been replaced by the standard model of the undead.

However, things are quite absurd with the new Lich models. It seems Blizzard either ran out of ideas, or the concern has something specifically to do with the torsos of the characters. The Lich creatures lack the entire chest area. All other bones – such as skulls and hands – are still clearly visible.

Why is that? The main concern of the developers is that WoW could be delayed in China and require additional approvals. For this reason, many developers often remove or change content in their games that could be considered problematic. In the case of Blizzard, this likely involves skeleton bones in many places. To avoid delays in the release of the games, the problematic bones have simply been replaced.

However, there are also more serious missing content in WoW in China. For example, the transgender character Pelagos is mute in China and reveals no one his story.

Pokémon GO: Raikou is back – Here’s why you should do raids

Noah Struthoff 1. February 2021 Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO the legendary Pokémon Raikou has returned to Level 5 raids. We’ll tell you why you should definitely do some raids.

How long will Raikou stay? The legendary Pokémon will be in raids until February 4th. So you can still take advantage of the raid hour on Wednesday.

Raikou is a useful Pokémon and has several advantages. You should do raids and take your chance.

How useful is Raikou for you

These are the stats: First, let’s take a look at the stats of the legendary Pokémon. This gives you a first overview:

Attack: 241
Defense: 195
HP: 207
Max CP at Level 50: 3902

Raikou scores with a good mix of a strong attack value and a useful move. With Thunder Shock, it has one of the strongest Electric moves in the game.

In general, Raikou is the best Electric attacker in the game after Zekrom. So if you don’t have a strong Zekrom yet or simply want an even broader Electric team, you should go for Raikou.

Here’s why it’s worth it for Pokémon veterans: If you already have some strong Raikou, don’t rest on your laurels these days. You should secure XL candies through the raids. Of course, the yield won’t be extensive since XL candies are very rare, but you should try your luck. After all, there’s currently no better way to get legendary Pokémon.

Is there Shiny Raikou? The shiny version of Raikou is another incentive to secure the legendary Pokémon. The chance of it is about 1 in 19. So, if you don’t have a Shiny yet, you should raid diligently.

What’s next? After Raikou, Suicune will come to the raids. Here you can actually lay back because Suicune is significantly weaker and is not worth it. However, you should make use of the few days with Raikou.

If you want to challenge Raikou now, we recommend the best counters here: These are the best counters against Raikou in the raid.

Fortnite: What’s now in the Crew Pack for February 2021

Eilyn Rapp 1. February 2021 Reading time 2 minutes

In Fortnite: Battle Royale, there is a new Crew Pack available for players who are part of the Fortnite Crew. We show you what is included in the package for February 2021.

What is this package? Every month, players have the opportunity to become part of the Fortnite Crew for 11.99 Euros. Those who subscribe to the membership receive exclusive items each month such as skins and cosmetics.

More on the topic

Are you considering buying the Crew subscription in Fortnite? Here is what you need to know

von Eilyn Rapp

Also in February 2021, there is a new Crew Pack that players can get. Those who obtain the package will now receive:

The skin “Vi”
A style variant for the skin
A back accessory
A pickaxe
A weapon wrap
A loading screen

In addition to the skin package, which contains all the items, there are also 1000 V-Bucks and access to the Battle Pass if you haven’t gotten it yet.

The Crew Pack skin was announced mysteriously

This is the story of “Vi”: Unlike previous Crew Packs, this skin puzzled players before its release. Fortnite shared a story on Twitter about a well-known skin who was supposed to help a fox clan in great trouble. The contact person was “Vi,” who had not been known until now.

Fortnite teases mysterious skin – then deletes everything to cover its tracks

von Eilyn Rapp

Together with the clues from the story, Fortnite also showed an image that revealed a glimpse of the Crew skin. It remains exciting whether this story will continue or if it was only meant to introduce “Vi”.

Changes might be coming to the Crew subscription soon. After some initial issues with the subscription at launch, players may soon be able to help decide what items should be included in the package. At least that’s what a leak suggests, indicating that Fortnite is planning a survey where players can specify which items they would prefer to see in the subscription.

FIFA 21 TOTW 19: Predictions for the new Team of the Week – featuring Salah

Max Handwerk 1. February 2021 Reading time 2 minutes

On Wednesday, February 3, 2021, the new TOTW 19 will be released in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team. Who could be in the Team of the Week? We look at the TOTW Predictions.

Update, February 2, 7:00 PM: The current TOTW 19 is now live.

What is the Team of the Week? Every week, the TOTW is released in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team. Here, 23 players receive a special black Inform card for strong performances in real football. These special cards have better stats than the standard cards and are worth more on the transfer market.

Each player in the TOTW can then be found as a special version in Packs for a week.

These are TOTW Predictions: The TOTW Predictions are forecasts from the community. They try to guess which players could be in the Team of the Week.

They provide a good overview of who could be in the TOTW. Potential Inform players can then be used to earn coins on the transfer market. You can find out how to do that in the Trading Tips.

However, it is important to note that these are theoretical predictions and not guarantees. The TOTW 19 on the upcoming Wednesday may look entirely different than the predictions suggest.

Prediction for Team of the Week 19 in Ultimate Team

The FIFA YouTuber KieronSSF has created comprehensive predictions for TOTW 19 based on the past week (via YouTube). His prediction includes some Bundesliga players – and a pretty strong card from FC Liverpool.

Marius Wolf scored twice in the match against Arminia Bielefeld. With his brace, he laid the foundation for a 3:1 victory for the Cologne team.
John Anthony Brooks actively contributed to the 3:0 win against Freiburg in central defense, helping the Wolves to currently sit third in the table. He also scored the 1:0.

Who ultimately makes it, will show on Wednesday. Speaking of Bundesliga: Here you can find 10 players who desperately need a ratings upgrade.

Player unveils 7-year-old secret in the MMORPG Tibia and this is what he found

Andreas Bertits 1. February 2021 Reading time 2 minutes

In the MMORPG Tibia, a player was able to unveil a secret after 7 years and unlock access to a special area. What awaited him there?

What is this secret? In the MMORPG Tibia, there is a mysterious area north of the Roshamuul Depot. However, no player has managed to find access so far. For seven years, the community has been trying to unravel the mystery of this place.

Many theories circulate about what needs to be done to enter the area. For example, players believed they had to complete the task “Mend Broken Dreams” multiple times. However, this and other theories have not been confirmed so far.

Tibia is still full of secrets

What has happened now? The player “Brighid Grand Explorateur” has finally managed to enter the area. It is the Dark Grounds. A dark passage that leads to a very specific monster.

What is cool about it? Tibia is now 24 years old. And yet, players still find secrets like the access to the Dark Grounds. A few years ago, a door could also be opened that had been closed for 12 years.

This motivates the community to continue searching for such mysteries even 24 years after the release and to find out how to unveil these secrets.

What is the secret of the Dark Grounds? Those who manage to enter the area will find the monster “Sight of Surrender” there. It is one of the most powerful beasts in the entire game that even high-level players struggle against. Normally, a “Sight of Surrender” is accompanied by several other monsters, making it even more difficult to kill.

However, anyone who enters the Dark Grounds can attack one of these beasts without their accompanying support. This makes it significantly easier to transfer the kill to the bestiary.

How to open the passage? Brighid Grand Explorateur explains that it is necessary to complete the task “Soothing Bad Dreams” 20 times. The community was therefore not far off with their theories. They just needed to find the correct task and the number of times it needed to be completed.

So, those who complete the task 20 times will open the passage to the Dark Grounds for 15 to 25 days. After that, it closes again. To open it again, “Soothing Bad Dreams” must be mastered 20 more times.

Even though Tibia is already relatively old, it is still taking modern approaches. The MMORPG breaks the taboo: Allows players to sell their characters for money.

Destiny 2 discusses fix for annoying PvP phenomenon, hints at new weapons

Sven Galitzki 1. February 2021 Reading time 3 minutes

The developers of Destiny 2 have announced that they will finally take a closer look at Three-Peeking, a frustrating problem of the third-person view. In doing so, they hinted at possible new weapons for the third-person perspective.

This is the issue: Recently, community manager Cozmo addressed a long-standing topic from the PvP community. It concerns the so-called Three-Peeking or Third Person Peeking. This is a phenomenon that can be increasingly observed in the Crucible – especially in competitive modes such as the Trials.

Players use the third-person perspective of Destiny 2 to their advantage to look around corners or get a better overview without exposing themselves. To do this, they may use the sword, which is played in third-person view in Destiny 2, or perform an emote that is also displayed in 3rd-person.

Many players find this unfair, and the topic has been discussed in the community for a long time.

What has Bungie said about Three-Peeking? Nothing concrete. The Bungie team is aware of the feedback surrounding 3-Peeking and is currently discussing possible options. However, they are making no promises, as they are still evaluating which changes are feasible. After all, it’s a complicated matter that affects gestures, swords, and any potential third-person weapons in the future.

Recommended editorial content

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

I consent to external content being displayed to me. Personal data can be transmitted to third party platforms. Read more about our privacy policy.

Link to the Twitter content

In short: Bungie is currently looking into the whole issue, but there is still nothing concrete to communicate to the Guardians. However, there is certainly something exciting about the tweet.

Future Third-Person Weapons for Destiny 2?

This statement is also interesting: It concerns the “potential future third-person weapons” that Bungie mentioned in their post.

Currently, only swords can be regularly played in third-person – occasionally, Guardians can obtain scorch weapons (Scorch Cannon), which do not belong to their arsenal permanently. However, the statement sounds as if Bungie is indeed considering introducing more weapons that can be played in third-person.

Potential new melee weapons such as axes, spears, or sickles would not be out of the question. Destiny 2 already has a lot of weapon types, and pretty much everything common has already been covered. However, the game is planned to run for quite a while, with the currently known plans extending until autumn 2022 and even beyond with seasons. Fresh toys for melee combat a la Warframe would fit perfectly to complement the currently lonely swords.

With something completely new, they must surprise the Guardians in the coming years. In some activities, there has already been a taste of how axes could be played – as seen in the Archon Forge from Destiny 1.

Keep in mind, these are merely speculations; perhaps nothing will come of it. However, given Bungie’s statement and the current diversity of weapon types in Destiny 2, it is not completely far-fetched.

What do you think? Will Destiny 2 bring more melee weapons in the style of third-person swords in the future? Or is too much being read into a casual statement? By the way, the following weapon changes are already confirmed – and that will happen next week: Destiny 2 is doing significant adjustments to the sandbox for Season 13 – Key buffs and nerfs

WoW: 10 Specializations are being buffed – Is yours among them?

Cortyn 1. February 2021 Reading time 2 minutes

Ten specializations in World of Warcraft are getting nice buffs. We reveal which classes will soon become even more powerful.

Although World of Warcraft Shadowlands has been released for some time now, balance in dungeons and raids is still not quite right. While initial changes have eliminated the biggest problems, fine-tuning is still in progress. Therefore, ten specializations can expect some changes.

What will be changed? A total of ten specializations are receiving some adjustments with damage increases of several percent. In detail, these are:

Death Knight
- Frost
  - The damage of all abilities has been increased by 5%.

Demon Hunter
- Havoc
  - The damage of all abilities has been increased by 3%.

Hunter
- Beast Mastery
  - The damage of all abilities has been increased by 5%.
- Survival
  - The damage of all abilities has been increased by 5%.

Mage
- Frost
  - The damage of all abilities has been increased by 3%.

Rogue
- Assassination
  - The damage of all abilities has been increased by 5%.

Shaman
- Enhancement
  - The damage of all abilities has been increased by 3%.

Warlock
- Destruction
  - The damage of all abilities has been increased by 3%.

Warrior
- Arms
  - The damage of all abilities has been increased by 3%.
- Fury
  - The damage of all abilities has been increased by 3%.

When will the changes go live? This will be implemented with the maintenance work on the upcoming Wednesday, February 3rd – provided there are no further changes to these improvements for the various classes.

What does this mean? The changes are unlikely to significantly alter the ranking of DPS classes in Castle Nathria. The result should be that all classes are a little closer together and all DPS classes are viewed as “viable.” In the past weeks and months, there have been significant disparities among the various specializations.

Is your class also benefiting from the buffs? Or did you miss out?

One of the largest botting providers has been defeated by Blizzard.

The Division 2: TU12.1 is Coming – What’s Included in the Last Major Update of Year 2

Sven Galitzki 31. January 2021 Reading time 3 minutes

On Tuesday, February 2nd, The Division 2 will receive the new Title Update 12. MyMMO summarizes what content and changes await players at the end of year 2.

What is TU12.1 all about? Even though it is currently unclear how and if The Division 2 will continue in year 3, and many agents are concerned about the shooter, the developers at Massive are apparently still working on their game behind the scenes.

So, on the upcoming Tuesday (02.02.2021), there will be a new patch for The Division 2 as part of the current Season 4 – Title Update 12.1. This brings several changes and kicks off a special event focused on the horror classic Resident Evil.

By the way, this is likely to be the last substantial update in the outgoing year 2 of The Division 2.

What to expect with Title Update 12

Recently, there has been very little activity regarding The Division 2 on official channels. This hasn’t improved after the Star Wars announcement. Massive and Ubisoft are still keeping the future of The Division 2 a secret.

However, recently Johan Lindholm, the community developer from Massive, briefly broke the silence and offered a first glimpse into the immediate future of the shooter. He outlined the specific contents of the next major update – Title Update 12.1.

This is what we know so far: TU12.1 focuses on 3 things:

TU12.1 introduces the crossover event with Resident Evil. It’s called “Codename: Nightmares” – a special clothing event where players can earn outfits and other cosmetics inspired by the Resident Evil series. You can find out more here: Resident Evil is coming to The Division 2: Soon you’ll look like STARS
With Title Update 12.1, a kind of next-gen upgrade for the new consoles PS5 and Xbox Series is introduced. This will allow players to play The Division 2 in 4K and 60 FPS on these platforms.
Also with TU12.1, the balance of the optimization station introduced with Title Update 12 will be improved. This is a powerful tool for fine-tuning endgame builds. For a certain fee, players can squeeze the maximum out of every equipment item. Many players found the costs for optimization too high, and these are now set to be reduced by 75%.

Is there more to come? The patch notes: Yes, there will be another change for the Reanimated event as well as numerous bug fixes with TU12.1. You can find the details here in the official patch notes:

The Division 2 – Patch Notes for Title Update 12.1 (TU12.1)

What comes next for The Division 2? As mentioned, Ubisoft and Massive are currently tight-lipped about year 3 and the general future of The Division 2. However, there are essentially few options for how the game could proceed. We have outlined the most likely ones in the following article for you: What will happen in 2021 with The Division 2? Facts, rumors, theories

By the way, if you generally like the idea behind The Division 2 but can no longer get into the game or are looking for alternatives in the long term, you should keep an eye on the newly announced title “The Day Before”: New survival MMO coming to Steam – looks like The Division with zombies

Sven Galitzki 31. January 2021 Reading time 3 minutes

The poor performance of an aimbot user in a match in Call of Duty: Warzone brings good cheer to the community. On Reddit, it has been met with laughter, mockery, and scorn.

Many players are complaining about cheaters and hackers in the Battle Royale Warzone. Even the professional scene is not protected from it. However, currently, a particular cheat seems to be bringing good cheer to the community – rather, his failure. It seems that some are really enjoying it.

“I enjoyed seeing him fail”

This is currently being celebrated by many: Recently, Reddit user zimrh shared a clip from Warzone on the discussion platform, where he falls victim to an aimbot user.

Instead of angrily leaving the match, he calmly watched the cheater’s gameplay until the end and did not regret it in the end. As he states in his thread title, the cheat user was even bad at cheating, and it was a real pleasure to see him fail at the end.

This seems to be the opinion of many other players as well. In just under 2 days, the post has received over 7,300 upvotes. In numerous comments, players are amused by the cheater and enjoy his failure. Even the currently most popular weapons in Warzone would probably not have helped the cheater.

What did the cheater do? Not much – and the little that he did, he did poorly.

After zimrh fell victim to the aimbotter, the cheater blazed his way through the match and achieved numerous kills at greater distances with the aimbot, where the opponent probably couldn’t even see or notice him.

But in the few critical situations where actual skill would be required, he did not perform very heroically or skillfully. He almost took himself out with his his own, too-late grenade throw and subsequently nearly bit the dust in what was essentially the first direct confrontation.

In the second direct duel, he made a mistake at a critical moment and went down because of it – despite the aimbot. He encounters an enemy – with just 2 kills. But instead of relying on his aiming software to take him down easily, he slips and then swaps weapons. All of this costs him valuable seconds, which leads to him paying with his virtual life and losing the match.

But see for yourself:

This is what other players say about the cheater: In numerous comments, users mock the aimbot user and remind that cheating software is no guarantee of victory. Among other things, it is said:

“18 kills with an aimbot in solos is just bad. Even honest players can achieve that.”
“I mean, even with an aimbot, he is just bad. Just uninstall the game and keep the last bit of your gaming dignity for yourself.”
“When you are already playing with an aimbot but still can’t win. That’s one of the most embarrassing things I’ve ever seen.”
“I see this kind of thing more often. Aimbotters get killed because they are so bad that even cheating can’t help them.”
“We didn’t expect much, but my god…”
“I had such a big grin on my face when I saw the cheater go down…”

But how about you? Have you ever had moments when you could triumph over a cheater with pleasure or relished in their defeat – even though they may have killed you? Were there situations where bad cheaters or hackers could bring a smile to your face instead of frustration and anger? Let us know and other readers of MeinMMO in the comments.

Tarek Zehrer 31. January 2021 Reading time 2 minutes

With Century: Age of Ashes, a F2P game in Early Access is released, allowing you to engage in aerial battles with dragons in PvP.

What kind of game is it? Century: Age of Ashes is a free multiplayer game. You get your own dragon that you ride in aerial battles and compete in teams against other players. Not to be confused with Dragon’s Prophet, the dragon MMO that has since been discontinued.

The game is developed by indie developer Playwing LTD and is produced by a team of 30 developers. The game was already announced at the Game Awards 2020.

When does Century: Age of Ashes come out? The official product page (via Steam) currently only states February 2021. The game will enter Early Access then. It is not clear when exactly the launch will be. However, there will be several closed beta phases.

Century: Age of Ashes is completely free and will be forever, even beyond Early Access. Cosmetic adjustments can be unlocked through gameplay or purchased. None of the in-game purchases will ever be Pay2Win.
Developers via Steam

What about the Closed Beta? You can sign up for the Closed Beta on Steam, but the spots are limited. The first phase ran from January 29 to January 31. A second phase is expected in the coming weeks. The starting date for this is not yet known.
