Rust offers survival players the option to rent servers or create their own dedicated servers. MeinMMO explains how this works and what you need to consider.
Rust was released on December 11, 2013, in Early Access and left the test phase at the end of 2018. Facepunch Studios regularly releases new, free content for Rust.
What are the benefits of having my own server? With your own server, you have complete control over who can play on the Rust server. You can also choose various options to shape the game according to your own preferences.
What options do I have? On your own server, you can choose whether you want to play PvP or PvE. That is, player versus player or player versus the “environment.” If you rent a server, only the options of the game server provider are available to you. You have less effort, don’t have to worry about updates, and the server is easier to administer. With a dedicated server, you have more setup and management effort, but you have full control over all settings.
Rent your own Rust server
Many game server providers offer Rust servers for rent. The installation and setup are handled by the provider, and you can make the most important settings with a mouse click via a web interface in your internet browser.
This saves a lot of work, and if something doesn’t work, you can contact the respective support team of the provider.
Rent Rust servers – these providers are available: We have chosen three German-speaking providers. When choosing a provider, pay attention to your requirements. Mod support, duration, and number of slots can vary. Therefore, compare the different providers and costs.
ZAP-Hosting: Slot from 0.36 Euro, from 24 slots for 8.64 Euro per month
Nitrado: Slot from 0.75 Euro, from 20 slots for15.50 Euro per month
There are new offers online every day, and you may find a provider that better suits your personal needs.
What to consider when renting a Rust server: Administering a Rust server can take a lot of time. Facepunch, the developer studio behind Rust, regularly wipes all servers with new content updates. This usually happens about once a month. If you want to play the new update, you always have to wipe your own server, i.e., completely restart it.
When installing your own server, you can decide whether it should appear in the official in-game list. To play stress-free on your server, we recommend considering the following points when choosing the game server provider:
Sufficient slots: With the slots, you determine how many players can come to your server at most. More than 200 slots are not recommended. On average, a Rust server has 50 slots.
Prepaid payment: If you want to rent your own Rust server without a minimum term, you must pay in advance. If you no longer want to continue with Rust, you can let the server expire and are not bound to a contract duration. However, you must pay attention to sufficient credit if it should continue running.
DDoS protection: A good rental server has a certain level of protection against malicious attacks. Many providers offer DDoS protection.
Mod support: Mods like “Rust Oxide” allow you to adjust the collection rates. If you want to play with mods, check whether the respective provider supports mods.
Additional storage space for mods: If you don’t want to play “Vanilla,” you should check whether there is sufficient storage for mods when placing your order. In Rust, you should plan around 5 GB of storage space for mods.
Server location in Germany: Most game servers in Germany are located in Frankfurt. A short and direct connection to the server location guarantees you a low ping and fewer lags.
Create a Rust Dedicated Server
For a dedicated Rust server, you need a virtual server with Linux or Windows installed.
If you want to create your own Rust server, we will explain step by step how it works. A virtual server with Linux or Windows installed is a prerequisite. In this guide, we will focus on installation under Windows.

These requirements should be met by your server: The standard size of the Rust map is 3 square kilometers. The Windows server should therefore have at least 8 GB RAM. Depending on the size and load, you should reserve at least 7 GB RAM for Rust. If you have a larger map and use mods, you should plan for at least 16 GB RAM.
Installation of SteamCMD: SteamCMD is a free Steam application and the most important tool for installing your own Rust server.
Create a folder for SteamCMD, for example on c:steamcmd
Create a folder for the Rust server, for example c:rustserver
After installing SteamCMD, you should see this command line window.
Installation of Rust Dedicated Server: To install the Rust server, enter the following commands one after the other in SteamCMD:
login anonymous
force_install_dir “c:rustserver”
app_update 258550
quit
With this, you have downloaded all the necessary files for a Vanilla server. Additional steps are necessary to install mods.
Switch Rust Server Branch
Rust has a “Staging Branch” where you can play new updates in advance. These versions may still contain bugs and lead to performance issues and crashes. Only switch to the Staging Branch if you are aware of the risks.
To switch to the Staging Branch, run SteamCMD and use the following commands:
For the Staging Branch:
login anonymous
but force_install_dir “c:rustserver”
app_update 258550 -beta staging
quit
For the Pre-Release Branch:
login anonymous
force_install_dir “c:rustserver”
app_update 258550 -beta prerelease
quit
Automatically start and update Rust Server: To have your Rust server start automatically, a “.bat file” is needed on Windows servers. This can be created by right-clicking in the directory – New – Text Document.
Create this in your server installation directory (“c:rustserver”) and name it “RustServer.bat”. Then right-click on it and select “Edit.”
Rename the .txt file to “RustServer.bat”.
Enter the following code into the .bat file and edit the server name, “Description Website” and server image. The website and server image can also remain empty alternatively.
RustDedicated.exe -batchmode +server.port 28015 +server.level “Procedural Map” +server.seed 1234 +server.worldsize 4000 +server.maxplayers 10 +server.hostname “Name of the server, how it should appear in the server list” +server.description “Description of the server that is displayed when connecting” +server.url “http://yourwebsite.com” +server.headerimage “http://yourwebsite.com/serverimage.jpg” +server.identity “server1” +rcon.port 28016 +rcon.password letmein +rcon.web 1
goto start
Explanation of individual parameters of the .bat:
+server.level “Procedural Map”: Determines the type of map. You can choose between: “Procedural Map”,”Barren”,”HapisIsland”,”SavasIsland” and “SavasIsland_koth”
+server.seed 1234: Defines the seed of the map. Values from 0 to 2147483647 are possible
+server.worldsize 4000: Determines the size of the procedurally generated map and the map “Barren”. Values from 1000 to 6000 are possible.
Connecting to the Rust server: Note down the IP and port of your Rust server. 28015 is the default port, 28016 for RCON. Launch Rust and search in the game either for your server’s IP or the name you set.
Make sure that both your game and the server version are up to date. Otherwise, you won’t find the server. The easiest way to find the server in the game is under the respective name.
Becoming admin on Rust server: To become an admin, connect to your server and open the console with F1. With the command “users,” you can see all active players on the server. To become an admin, you need the 17-digit SteamID. The website SteamID.io allows you to find your Steam64ID for free.
Copy this from the game and enter the following command in SteamCMD:
ownerid 12345678901234567 “Admin Name”
With your own Rust server, you have full control
Rust Admin Commands
The vanilla version of Rust has some admin commands that we will explain to you below. <UID> stands for the SteamID64 of the respective user.
kick <UID> “Player name” “Reason”
kickall “” “Reason”
ban “Player name” “Reason”
banid <UID> “Player name” “Reason”
status ; Information about all players on the server.
say “Message” ; Sends a message in the chat.
users ; Displays user information for all players on the server.
banlist ; List of banned players.
banlistex ; List of banned players with additional information.
listid ; List of banned players, sorted by SteamID64.
event.run ; Sends an airdrop from a random direction.
Why has Rust suddenly become so popular?
Despite its age, Rust has been able to secure a strong player base over the years and has been the largest survival MMO on Steam for some time. Since the end of 2020, even more players have flocked to Rust. The reason for this is likely a sudden hype triggered by a quirky plan from several streamers:
50 streamers played together at the end of 2020 and brought Rust to the top of Twitch
MeinMMO author Benedict Grothaus has taken 23 hours of beatings in Rust. In his guide, he explains how you can do better. He was also able to rely on the help of a Rust veteran who has spent over 4,000 hours distributing beatings in Rust.

The new coach of the Korean LoL team T1, featuring superstar Faker, has set some ambitious goals for 2021 in League of Legends: He wants to destroy his former team, DAMWON Gaming, which he led to become world champions. The problem: DAMWON looks incredibly strong in 2021 and has already won a tournament.
This is the situation: Yang “Daeny” Dae-in (27) was the coach of DAMWON Gaming in 2020 and became world champion with them. DAMWON Gaming was outstandingly strong at the Worlds 2020, with Showmaker probably being the star of the event. Additionally, they had excellent players like jungler Canyon and top-laner Nuguri. They were a class above everyone else and easily rolled over the European champions G2 Esports in the semifinals.
Damwon Gaming are the reigning world champions of 2020 and the strongest team in LoL.
Creating the best team in the world, now he must destroy it
This is what Daeny says: The new coach was asked how his first days at T1 are going. He has so far expressed enthusiasm. When he was at DAMWON, he had to build the best team in the world from scratch. Now at T1, he is already working with some very talented players, which he really enjoys.
DAMWON plays the fastest LoL in the world. Daeny now wants to introduce this fast play style at T1 as well. But even if he can’t achieve that, his goal is now to destroy the team he created.
When asked why he has 3 junglers at T1, Daeny laughs. He will prioritize the “Mid-Jungle” duo at T1. He needs a lot of backup junglers if he wants to take down Canyon, the jungler of DAMWON Gaming. Therefore, he has assigned specific missions to his junglers.
What is T1 doing with Faker? Daeny laughs again at this question. He says: “That’s a secret!”
Faker is the star of T1, but the last few years have not been going well for him.
“The God of LoL”
How does T1 plan to beat DAMWON? Daeny says he can’t reveal too much. The secret strategies must not be disclosed. But his biggest goal at DAMWON was for every player to be able to carry the team. The team needed to merge into one unit.
He has already said that DAMWON Gaming are the villains, and he wants to stand over their corpses in the end, so he now thinks about how he can eliminate them.
At the press conference, T1’s top-laner Canna said:
“When Daeny first came to the team, he said he was the God of LoL.”
Canna
Indeed, Daeny understands so much about LoL that he could truly be considered the God of LoL. For this, the players of T1 need to be able to fully absorb all of Daeny’s feedback.
But Canna actually believes: They could win the LCK in the summer.
What are T1’s chances? They currently do not look good at all. DAMWON Gaming consisted of many young players in 2020, who were mechanically incredibly strong and only lacked experience, especially in playing in front of large audiences. It seemed that the team gets stronger with each match.
DAMWON Gaming has already started excellently in 2021. They lost their star top-laner Nuguri to FunPlus Phoenix in the transfer market. However, they acquired FunPlus Phoenix’s top-laner Khan. They also extended the contract of support player Beryl.
Additionally, they have kkoma, the former coach of T1, who is also considered clever and experienced in strategy.
Nuguri, the top-laner of DAMWON Gaming, switched to FunPlus Phoenix.
DAMWON Gaming already demonstrated how well this new combo works at the first tournament of 2021: They won the KEsPA Cup convincingly. They played 11 matches and lost only one game in the semifinals.
For T1, however, it was a completely different story; they were eliminated in the group phase and could only win one of their 4 games.
T1 also faces the challenge in 2021 of how to handle Faker: He is a mega-star in South Korea, but already 24 years old. Last year, the 17-year-old mid-laner Clozer took over parts of the season for him and triumphed in the mid lane while Faker sat on the bench.
Asus is the first manufacturer to announce price increases for PC components. Affected are graphics cards and also motherboards. However, Asus is unlikely to be the last manufacturer to raise prices in 2021.
Asus is the first manufacturer to announce price increases for certain hardware products in 2021. Among other things, the prices for the new graphics cards of the RTX 3000 series and also current gaming motherboards will be increased.
This is what Asus says: Juan Jose Guerrero, Technical Product Marketing Manager at Asus, writes (via Techpowerup.com):
We have an announcement regarding MSRP price changes that will take effect at the beginning of 2021 for our award-winning series of graphics cards and motherboards. Our new MSRP reflects increased costs for components, operating costs, and logistical activities, as well as a continuation of import tariffs.
We have worked closely with our supply and logistics partners to minimize the price increases. ASUS greatly appreciates your ongoing support as we navigate this time of unprecedented market change.
Especially the prices for the new graphics cards of the RTX 3000 series are increasing significantly. For example, the GeForce RTX 3090 now costs 1979 US dollars instead of 1799 US dollars.
This is Asus: Asus is a Taiwanese manufacturer of PC hardware, which, besides motherboards and graphics cards, also offers smartphones like the ROG Phone 2, laptops, routers, and many more products in its portfolio.
Asus’ decision is not surprising
Asus’ decision to raise the prices of its products is not surprising. And anyone looking at the current hardware market would not be surprised if other hardware manufacturers also raise prices.
The price increases are generally met with displeasure by interested parties: User John writes in the Techpowerup Forum:
Are we all becoming scalpers now? Will we rush to buy things to resell them in six months? This is ridiculous.
Scalpers, bots, miners, sellers, and now the manufacturers themselves.
There are several reasons for the price increases. Here are three we want to mention.
On December 31, 2020, the exceptions to US tariff regulations that had been imposed on products from China expired. Major hardware manufacturers, many of which have a large part of their production in China, are now raising prices (via Newyorktimes.com)
Certain components are currently only available in limited quantities. This includes DDR6 memory, which is used in graphics cards. In late 2020, a power outage at the manufacturer Micron brought down one-tenth of the global production (via heise.de).
The ongoing Corona epidemic is another reason impacting production and the revenues of manufacturers.
Graphics cards like the RTX 3080 are in high demand but were hardly available in 2020.
RTX 3080 Availability – Are there better prospects in 2021?
2020 actually offered a lot of exciting gaming hardware for normal players and enthusiasts. However, low availability and bots ruined business for many hardware fans. Meanwhile, you can buy the RTX 3080 on Ebay for double the price.
The fact that some manufacturers are now raising prices for their products is initially not good news for PC gamers considering upgrading their PCs in 2021.
On the other hand, Microsoft and Sony have at least stated that they will be able to deliver their PS5 and Xbox Series X/S again starting in 2021. AMD and Nvidia have also promised that the stock of graphics cards will recover.

In Pokémon GO, the raid hour with Genesect starts today, January 6, 2021. We will show you the counters and what you need to know about the legendary Pokémon.
What is a raid hour? Every week on Wednesday, there is an event of this kind. For one hour, there will be a legendary raid at almost all gyms.
Today, the Pokémon Genesect is the focus. It is equipped with the Flame Module. We will show you in overview the most important information so that you can make the most of the event.
All information about the raid hour with Genesect with Flame Module
When does the raid hour start? As always, the event starts at 6:00 PM local time. The eggs will appear on the gyms beforehand, so they can hatch right at 6:00 PM. You then have until 7:00 PM to participate. Occasionally, the raids are also still active after 7:00 PM.
The best counters: To help you know which attackers to equip your teams with, we show you here the overview of the best counters against Genesect:
How many trainers are needed? For the raid, you should have at least 2 to 3 trainers with the optimal counters. It’s worth inviting more players to complete the raids faster and catch more during the event hour.
Are you participating in the raid hour today and catching Genesect, or are you not interested?
Here you will find the best GK talents in the Career Mode of FIFA 21. These young goalkeepers have massive potential and develop into the strongest keepers in the career. We also show you affordable goalkeeper talents that you should scout.
For this, you need GK talents in the career: The most beautiful goals won’t help you if your team ends up conceding more goals than scoring. Therefore, you need a strong goalkeeper in the Career Mode who acts as a reliable support for your team.
Since absolute top keepers like Manuel Neuer aren’t exactly cheap, especially with small clubs, you need an affordable but reliable alternative.
That’s why it’s worth buying young and talented goalkeepers. They are reasonably priced and continue to improve throughout the career. Then you can put them on the pitch to protect your goal or at least sell them for a profit.
Here we show you the GK talents with the highest potential, which can be quite expensive. Therefore, you will also find a selection of affordable goalkeepers that exhibit strong potential.
However, keep in mind that FIFA 21 again features dynamic potential. Whether your talents fully utilize their potential (or even exceed it) depends on how well you train and deploy them. Are you looking for more reinforcements for your team? Then here is the overview of the best talents in FIFA 21.

The 10 best goalkeeper talents in FIFA 21’s career
These are the best GK talents: Here you will find the goalkeeper talents with the highest potential. They have the ability to become the best keepers in the career if you train them well. However, many of them also come with a high market value. With good negotiations, however, you can also acquire them more cheaply.
G. Donnarumma: The Milan keeper is again the best GK talent of all. He has the highest potential, but is also difficult to acquire with a theoretical market value of 93.5 million. You’ll need to negotiate very well to get him cheaper.
Luis Maximiano: The Portuguese has a potential of 88 and can rise by 10 points. However, he has a high market value of 27.5 million.
A. Lunin can be found at Real Madrid, with a market value of 12 million. His potential is 87.
M. Vandevoordt plays for KRC Genk and has a potential of 87. He is only 18 years old and costs just 2.5 million – but also only has a rating of 68.
D. Henderson: The Englishman is already 23, but still has a potential of 87 with a rating of 80. Scouts, however, estimate his market value at a high 36 million.
E. Audero: The Italian has a rating of 77 and can rise by 10 points. Market value: 20 million euros.
A. Meret is also 23 years old but can jump from 78 to 87. The market value is 27 million.
Unai Simón can jump from 80 to 86, he is also already somewhat established at 23 years old. His market value is 27 million.
I. Radu plays for Inter and brings a rating of 75, which can go up to 85. The market value is 11 million.
J. Bijow is 22 years old and has a rating of 76. His potential is 8.4 and he comes with a market value of 14.5 million.
Affordable goalkeepers with high potential – under 10 million euros
Cheap but exciting GK talents: Since talents with high initial ratings are very expensive, here are some candidates that can be acquired for little money.
M. Vandevoordt: He could be the most exciting goalkeeper talent. Vandevoordt is only 18, has a potential of 87, and costs only 2.7 million. Clear purchase recommendation.
L. Chevalier: Chevalier is also only 18 and has a potential of 83, which is very promising. He costs you not even a million.
N. Mantl: Niko Mantl can be found in the 3rd division, he has a potential of 83. Cost: About 2.9 million euros.
C. Früchtl: Früchtl is also a classic FIFA talent. This year he has a potential of 83, and the market value is 2 million.
A. Maksimenko: Maksimenko is already 22 and has a rating of 73. Therefore, his market value is slightly higher at 6 million, but he also has a potential of 83.
F. Jörgensen: Jörgensen is also only 18 years old and has a rating of 62. This can rise to 82, and the price is 975,000 euros.
M. Carnesecchi: Carnesecchi is 20 years old and equipped with an 82 potential. At the start of the career, his market value is estimated at 2 million.
All GK talents under 23 with a potential of 81 or better
These are the most exciting goalkeeper talents: In this table, you will find the goalkeeper talents under 23 that can reach at least a rating of 81. You can sort the table as you like.
Oops, unfortunately this table is no longer available.
If you are starting a club with little money, you should look at the younger and cheaper talents. Clubs with a large transfer budget can also look higher up the ratings.
On January 4, 2001, the MMORPG RuneScape was released. In 2021, it celebrated its 20th birthday and is still very popular. This is also because many players never completely quit, but only take breaks, as the Design Director of RuneScape revealed.
What makes the MMORPG so interesting? The RuneScape of today is hard to compare with the release version from 2001. There have been numerous graphical and content updates. Currently, there are even two different versions:
RuneScape 3 was released in 2013 and is graphically a bit more current but not on par with modern games like GW2 or Black Desert.
Oldschool RuneScape brings back the old version from 2007 but has been expanded with some new features.
Although there have been numerous revisions, the game still relies on tried and tested concepts. The focus is on freedom and the sandbox idea, coupled with a vast game world and relatively a lot of grind. However, this grind is meant to feel rewarding, something that many modern games fail to achieve.
Crafting, many skills, and exploring the vast world play an important role in the game.
Another special feature is the close bond between developers and the community:
“A place to escape to when you can’t leave the house”
What do the developers themselves say about their success? In an interview for the 20th anniversary, Design Director Mark Ogilvie disclosed to the website PCGamesN that many players return to RuneScape over and over:
For many, RuneScape is a game they never completely leave; they just take a break for a while. Many of these players have come back this year.
One reason for the big return this year, in Ogilvie’s eyes, is that you can dive into RuneScape and forget about everyday life. Especially during COVID-19 times, this is helpful for many:
It is a place you can escape to, where you can leave your house and meet friends, even when the world is in such a state as it is right now.
In 2020, the Archaeology skill was the first new skill for RuneScape in 4 years.
Also, with the release on Steam, the developers are very satisfied. They highlight the special community that exists in RuneScape. It has a familial character and helps newcomers, as Lead Designer Dave Osborne revealed:
So many players are just waiting for a person as a mentor. There are a lot of legacy accounts, but there is nothing better than taking a brand new player under your wing and helping them.
Dave Osborne in an interview with PCGamesN
The old MMORPG has become a part of life for many players. But this also leads to curious situations:
If you’re now interested in RuneScape, you can create a free account on the official website or download the game through Steam or the app stores on your smartphone.
In the survival MMO Rust there will be a so-called “force wipe” on January 7, 2021. This resets progress on all maps and all servers. Many players will lose their bases, but for newcomers, this is a strong opportunity to start.
When is the “force wipe”? On Thursday, January 7, 2021, the servers of the survival MMO Rust will be reset. This forced deletion affects both official and private servers. The wipe will happen at 8:00 PM German time (via Twitter).
What happens? With the wipe, all blueprints and maps will be reset. Everything that was there will be deleted. Every player must start over.
The reason for the wipe is the monthly update of Rust, which will be deployed at the same time. To ensure all new features and changes work properly, everything will be reset. Patch notes for the update are not available yet.
On just-wiped.net you can find an overview of which servers had a wipe last.
Kickstart after the “force wipe” in Rust
What should I pay attention to? The wipe is the ideal opportunity to start with Rust. Since every player starts naked after the wipe, you won’t risk getting shot by a veteran and their powerful weapons right after spawn.
Don’t you want to start with a shotgun in your face? Then start right after the “force wipe”.
Instead, everyone has roughly equal conditions. Those with more experience can benefit from this. Generally, you have more time to find your way around before someone corners you. Your first steps should look something like this:
open the map and find a building spot – snowy areas are quite suitable for beginners
collect cloth on the way to craft a sleeping bag
find a good hiding spot and gather wood and stones for your first construction projects
craft an axe and a pickaxe as well as weapons (bow and spear)
build your first house including a toolbox to prevent your base from decaying
Is Rust worth it? Rust is one of the best survival games of 2021 and has been around for almost 14 years now. It regularly attracts tens of thousands of players who spend thousands of hours in the harsh world.
At the end of 2020, Rust experienced a strong surge, which continues into early 2021. Several streamers have ensured that Rust blew up on Twitch. Since then, interest in the survival game has significantly increased.
On Steam, Rust has more players than ever and the numbers are still growing. The wipe is an ideal opportunity for all newcomers to get a foothold without immediately encountering trigger-happy veterans.
Even though Rust is among the best survival games, the upcoming year has much more to offer. In our list on MeinMMO, you’ll find 7 new survival games that will be released in 2021 – including some sequels to well-known titles.

Week 6 of Season 5 Chapter 2 in Fortnite: Battle Royale is starting soon. There are again some challenges for you to complete. A leak now shows what tasks you can expect.
What has been leaked? The system of XP tasks has changed again in Season 5 Chapter 2. While you can complete some tasks and immediately get a new one, there are challenges that only update weekly.
These weekly tasks, which are available in epic and legendary rarities, have now been leaked for the 6th week of Season 5 by data miners. Here you can take a look at what tasks might keep you busy in the coming days on the Season 5 map.
Tasks of Week 6 – Season 5
These challenges have been leaked: Data miners have already found the tasks for week 6 (via Twitter). It seems that you will need to do a lot of fishing. Here are the challenges:
Pop fishing spots in the air at Sharky Shell, Sweaty Sands, or Flopper Pond (3)
Destroy motorboats (3)
Pop fishing spots in the air at Lazy Lake (Island), Lake Canoe, and near Steamy Stacks (3)
For the legendary task, the “Score headshots” mission seems to be planned. This will surely take some time, but will reward you with more experience points than the other challenges.
Keep in mind that these are initially leaked challenges, and the tasks may still change before they go live on Thursday, January 7, 2021.
A leak also indicates a change for the Coliseum
Data miners have not only found the challenges for week 6 in the data. A leak also indicates that a popular location in Fortnite might change completely soon. If this happens soon, it might be the last chance to face battles there or pay a visit.

Riot Games has announced that they will no longer collaborate with a Brazilian caster of the League of Legends. The LoL caster Gabriel “MiT” Souza (29) allegedly pressured a woman into oral sex during a Tinder date 6 or 7 years ago.
Who is it about? The 29-year-old Gabriel “MiT” Souza was a LoL player in Brazil for many years, later becoming a coach and eventually a caster. He started his career as a support player in the early days of LoL, then became a manager and coach in Brazil for teams like Flamengo Esports and paiN Gaming.
In 2020, Riot Games hired him as a caster for the Brazilian Challenger series of League of Legends.
This is what Riot Games says now: They state in a statement to a Brazilian site that they will publish the list of casters in the coming days, but Souza is not one of the talents they have signed for 2021. Thus, they have parted ways with the caster.

“Trigger warning, abuse,” is how Daniela Li begins her account.
Pressured into Oral Sex in the Car
These are the allegations: Previously, a tattoo artist raised allegations against Souza on Twitter. She had met Souza on Tinder 6 or 7 years ago and arranged a meeting. She says these incidents have haunted her for years, they come back no matter how hard she tries to forget them. It is one of the hardest things she has ever done to write about the events from back then.
She describes that she and Souza were in a car together at a meeting and were kissing. Souza then suddenly pulled his penis out of his pants and pushed her head down to perform oral sex. She had made it clear beforehand that she did not want that. He knew that too.
Later, he told people the story and also said that she did not want that. However, he did not say that he forced her to do it.
After the tattoo artist wrote about her experience with Souza, a cosplayer came forward and said she had a similar experience with the caster. It is very difficult for victims to speak about such allegations.
Even the ex-girlfriend of the caster spoke up on Twitter and painted a similar picture of her former boyfriend.
This is what Souza himself says: The caster addresses the incident on Twitter himself (via twitter) and says: Years ago he did not possess the maturity he has today to properly address such important matters. It hurts him now that someone felt hurt for so long and that he did not realize how deeply he hurt someone.
Pain and memories belong to everyone who suffered them, and it is not up to him to lessen them or treat them as everyday experiences.
He has developed as a person over the past few years and understands that there is no justification for his behavior. He never intended to hurt anyone. He deeply regrets any wounds he has caused in his 29 years of life.
The LoL streamer Hashinshin was accused of “grooming” minors.
Riot Games and players of League of Legends have repeatedly faced allegations of inappropriate behavior towards women in recent years. The case of the Twitch streamer Hashinshin caused a lot of uproar, as he allegedly “groomed” girls. However, he defends himself against the allegations and considers them to be intrigues:
The 5-star character Ganyu in Genshin Impact receives a dedicated introduction trailer. Additionally, the developer miHoYo releases official information about Ganyu’s abilities.
This is Ganyu: Although she doesn’t look like it, the secretary of the Qixing is already over 3,000 years old. The reason for her longevity is the blood of a Qilin, a divine beast, that flows through her veins.
Ganyu is a diligent follower of the Geo god Rex Lapis and made a contract with him thousands of years ago, which she faithfully fulfills every day because it also benefits the residents of Liyue.
One unique aspect of Ganyu’s character is her zeal. She firmly believes that the prosperity of Liyue depends on everyone doing their part. Therefore, she wants to work hard to prove herself worthy of her position.
As a result, Ganyu’s greatest hobby is actually her work, and she enjoys putting in some overtime here and there when there’s more to be done.
The English character trailer for Ganyu can be viewed here:

This is what Ganyu can do: In a blog post, the developer miHoYo has now also officially published Ganyu’s abilities.
Element: Cryo
Weapon: Bow
Constellation: Sinae Unicornis
Ascension Materials: Shivada Jade, Fluxflower Core, Qingxin flowers, and Vaniloqua nectar, Glowing Nectar, and Elemental Nectar from Valinoquar
The standard attack is called “Heavenly Archery” and performs 6 consecutive bow shots. The heavy strike charges the arrowhead with Cryo energy and causes different effects depending on the charge time:
Phase 1: The arrow deals Cryo damage.
Phase 2: The arrow carries a Frost Flower that blooms after a hit and deals area Cryo damage.
The banner artwork of Ganyu
The ability “Tracks of the Qilin” leaves an ice lotus on the battlefield that deals area Cryo damage to enemies and can freeze them. It also draws the attention of enemies and their attacks.
The HP of the lotus flower depends on Ganyu’s maximum HP. Upon destruction or expiration, the ice lotus explodes and deals area damage.
With “Conquering Downpour,” Ganyu summons an Ice Pearl and lets icicles rain down upon her enemies, dealing Cryo damage. You can watch a showcase video of her gameplay in the game:

In Diablo 3 the current Season 22 is still ongoing, but when does it end? And when does Season 23 start? We provide you with a prediction for the next important dates in D3.
What’s happening in Diablo 3? Every few months, a new season starts in Blizzard’s hack ‘n’ slash game. It comes with at least one special bonus that affects gameplay. This ensures variety, even though completely new content is lacking.
Currently, Season 22 is running, which started on November 20. In this article, we want to show you how long the current season will last and when you can expect the start of Season 23 in Diablo 3.
Update from February 24: The Diablo team announced that on February 25, a two-week testing of Patch 2.7.0 will begin on the Diablo PTR. Accordingly, we have pushed possible endings of Season 22 and starts of Season 23 back.
End of Season 22 – When could it come?
Blizzard usually reveals the end date of a season only about 14 days in advance. We know that a season typically lasts about 3 months. However, this remains dynamic. In special circumstances like larger patches, the duration of a season can be extended or shortened.
Blizzard itself says:
We no longer provide an estimated end date for seasons. However, seasons should last approximately three months (depending on development needs, sometimes a bit longer, sometimes a bit shorter), and we will also inform you at least two weeks before the end of a season.
Our prediction for the end of S22: We at MeinMMO have been following the seasons of Diablo 3 for several years. In our prediction, we show you 4 dates that are potential end dates for Season 22.
Since the season started on November 20, 2020, the following end dates are likely, considering the two-week testing of the new Patch 2.7.0:
What we know: It is known that there is about a one to two-week gap between the end and the start of a season. The last seasons (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, and 22) all started on a Friday.
What we suspect: Based on the last seasons, we assume that Season 23 will also start on a Friday. And that it will be about one to two weeks after the end of Season 22.
The possible start dates would be:
March 12, 2021
March 19, 2021
March 26, 2021
April 2, 2021
Keep in mind that this is speculation based on the last seasons. An official end date for Season 22 or a start date for Season 23 has yet to be announced.
In Destiny 2, you can find 9 penguins. MeinMMO shows you their locations in the video and explains what this cute collectible from Beyond Light is all about.
With Destiny 2: Beyond Light, the ice moon Europa has been freshly introduced into the game. Here, many secrets await the Guardians. In keeping with the arctic theme, 9 penguins are hidden on Europa.
But these cute toys don’t just look adorable – if you collect them, some rewards are waiting for you. With this, Destiny 2 continues the tradition of hiding tier figures in DLC locations – in the Dreaming City there are cats, on the Moon rabbits.
Update 06.01.21: You can now find and collect all 9 penguins. This guide was originally published on November 15, 2020, and is now complete.
We show you all the locations of the penguins and where you need to take them in this article with video.
Here is your reward: Especially for triumph hunters and lore lovers, it’s worth searching for the hidden penguins.
If you place the penguins after finding them at specific locations, there are secret triumphs and a new lore book waiting for you. Once you have found all 9 penguins, there are still a few extras awaiting you.
In the Triumphs tab, select “Europa” and then the right tab “Secrets.” Here you will also find out the sad story behind the cute toys.

Find all 9 penguin souvenirs on Europa in Destiny 2: Beyond Light
In total, the toy penguins are hidden all over the DLC location Europa. Once you find one, you just need to approach it and pick it up.
Note: Currently, only one penguin has been discovered. We will update this article accordingly as more are found. It is likely that another will be added each week.
1. Penguin: Cadmus Ridge in a cave
Start from the spawn in the area “Charon’s Crossing” and head left into the area “Cadmus Ridge.” Upon arrival, keep hard right and jump up at the first glacier wall on the right. In a small cave, the first penguin souvenir awaits (the region chest is also hidden here).
You will find the penguin in a cave at 1 – at 2 you drop it off
It is possible that the cave is inhabited by a Wyvern, which is also at a very high level. In this case, you can only pick up the penguin once the mini-boss has been defeated – so be prepared.
Check out the location of the first penguin souvenir here in the video:

2. Penguin: Fountain of Eternity next to a passage
Head to the eastern area “Asterion Abyss” on Europa. From here you can access the “Nexus.” Instead of going right as in the strike, follow the right path in the starting area of the ice cave.
At 1 you find the new penguin and at 2 you drop it off – Source: Esoterickk on YouTube
Ignore all Vex and push deeper into the cave until you reach the “Fountain of Eternity” area. Keep moving forward until you later reach a passage that glows yellow and slopes downwards. To the left of this passage is the 2nd penguin behind a barrier that you can manually dissolve.
Here is the entire path in the video:

3. Penguin: Eventide Ruins at the entrance to the sector “Bunker E15”
Head north to Europa in the area “Eventide Ruins.” Here you will find the 3rd penguin very close to the entrance of the lost sector “Bunker E15.” Before entering the sector, look on the right beside a staircase.
But before you set off, you need to prepare. The penguin is hidden behind ice blocks – you can break them with a so-called Scorch Cannon from the Fallen.
At 1 you find the penguin and at 2 the Scorch Cannon
You can get the weapon in this area from, for example, stronger Fallen Captains. One can be found directly behind the elevator that takes you to the area “RIIS Reborn Access.”
The exact path and location of the Fallen Captain can be found in the usual video:

4. Penguin: In the laboratories of “Bray Exo Science”
Make your way to the western area “Cadmus Ridge” on Europa. From here, head to the underground facility “Bray Exo Science.” In the large entrance hall, turn left at the end and push deeper into the lab complex.
Image 1: Right of the frozen apparatus is your target – Image 2: at 1 is the penguin, at 2 is the entrance to “Bray Exo Science”
Follow the path through several rooms until you arrive in a lab where a frozen robot arm with a measuring device hangs from the ceiling. Directly to the right of it, you will see the fourth penguin.
As you approach the penguin, Fallen will appear and a barrier will appear. Deal with the nuisances and secure the cute toy.
You can find the full route through the lab in this short video:

The collectible is waiting in the east of Europa, in the area “Asterion Abyss.” If you come from the fast travel point in the south, the penguin is to your left in a rock face. Just below the Lost Sector “Hidden Void,” you will see the ice-covered rock face.
The penguin watches over the Asterion Abyss from a height
You can spot the penguin from afar through your sights. Usually, two Goblins with yellow health bars are also on the rock ledge above.
The easiest way to get up there is to approach from the right over the Vex ruins. You will find a passage there and stairs in the rock, just a few meters below your target. Then jump to the 5th penguin and enjoy the view a bit.
As always, you can find the way here in the video:

Your target is the far north of Europa in the area “RIIS Reborn Access.” You reach this via the northwestern “Eventide Ruins” with the elevator you know from the story and the Empire hunts.
Follow the large, but fairly linear Fallen stronghold until a fork. You are on the right track when you reach the room that has a stairway on the top left and a passage on the bottom right.
The penguin thief lurks behind the right corner
Near the right passage, you will find an enemy who does not usually stay here: a Fallen Marauder. Deal with the nuisance – he will then drop the 6th penguin that you can collect.
We will embed a video here that shows the route through the area and the penguin thief:

To save the poor penguin number 7, you need to head to the “Nexus” area on Europa. You can reach this from the eastern “Asterion Abyss.” Before you set off, make sure to bring a sniper rifle or a scout rifle.
As soon as you arrive in the Nexus, you will see a huge chasm before you. From here, you can turn left or right – but you don’t have to. Your goal is to destroy 4 Oracles in the entrance area.
Destroy the 4 Oracles and the sought-after penguin will appear
You need to hit the Oracles in a specific order. Only after the previous one is destroyed, will the next one appear.
Oracle 1 is located top left above the massive Vex structure.
The 2nd Oracle appears right below the first platform towards the “Fountain of Eternity.”
Oracle 3 is located again above the Vex structure from the Nexus entrance – this time on the right side.
The final and 4th Oracle is located before you on a ledge in the chasm – look a bit right towards Oracle 2. After destroying the object, the 7th penguin will appear right there.
Since the exact locations are a bit difficult to describe, here is a concise and clear video:

8. Penguin: In the Kell Rise after a fight with a Stasis sniper
You have a long walk ahead, ideally pack a mobility exotic. Your journey starts in the northern area “Eventide Ruins.” From here, take the elevator into the Fallen stronghold “RIIS Reborn Access.”
Cross the area until you reach the room with the fork you already know from the 6th penguin. Take the right path and the next lift upwards along with the teleporter there.
Take down the Fallen and look behind the box
Directly at the first fork after that, go right, and you are in the target area “Kell Rise.”
Follow the linear path further until you see a Fallen Captain on the right: Drake, the Stasis sniper. Take down the slightly tougher foe. Behind the box nearby with the white symbol, you will finally find the 8th penguin.
You can also check out the entire routes through the Fallen stronghold to the penguin here in the video:

The last penguin is hidden deep in the “Bray Exo Science.” Enter the lab complex in the west of Europa from “Cadmus Ridge.” You exit the large entrance hall of the underground lab through the rear left exit.
Follow the path further and always keep left. Shortly after the location of the 4th penguin, you will leave the area and arrive in the “Eternity” area.
This is the charge courier in the “Eternity” area
Here you will push further in until you come to a larger room that has a slightly overlooked staircase on the left and a Servitor. Here you will find a special enemy: “Dracon, Charge Courier.” Defeat the enemy and pick up the orb left behind, which is the charge.
As long as you carry the orb, you cannot close (but you can strike). You now have to follow the path further and master a few jumps. Just before the shaft to the original boss fight in the area, you will find a device to which you can slam the charge. Once that’s done, the 9th and final penguin will appear here.
Almost there, one jump left and then safely drop off the charge
You can find the exact location of the charge courier and the route here in the video:

This is your goal: Once you have picked up a penguin, you need to bring it to the area “Charon’s Crossing.” To the right of Variks entrance, you will find another round green door marked with a “7.” Inside there, you place the souvenir on the crates and tables.
Have you already discovered your first penguin? What do you think of such collectible tasks? Let us know in the comments.
The Chinese organization SuperGen is building a huge esports center for 1.3 billion euros. It will include an arena and training rooms, as well as hotels and leisure facilities.
What is being built? A new headquarters for SuperGen is to be built in Shanghai on 500,000 square meters (as large as 70 football fields). This is the parent organization of Edward Gaming. EDG has, among others, a LoL team that recently reached the Worlds in 2018 and was defeated by Fnatic in the quarter-finals.
The massive facility is intended not only as a training site for teams but also as a vast entertainment center. The following features are expected to be included in the complex:
Office space for the organization
Training rooms for the teams
An esports arena with a capacity of 6,000 spectators
A shopping center
A 5-star hotel
A 40-meter pool
An indoor skydiving facility
A park area
This will be combined with a rainwater treatment facility, solar panels on the roof, and numerous green spaces, as can be seen from the concept of the center.
How much does it all cost? The construction project was started in January 2021 and is expected to cost around 10 billion yuan (approximately 1.3 billion euros). Completion is planned for 2023.
With the center, the organization also aims to create 2,000 new jobs in the esports sector and host up to 300 events per year.
You can catch a first glimpse of the design of the center in this short video:

Recently, the city hosted the Dota 2 tournament “The International 2019” and the LoL Worlds 2020. A huge center, like the one SuperGen is now implementing, fits perfectly into these plans.
However, there are always issues with censorship and custom game versions in China that could be a disadvantage for the plans surrounding the gaming capital. However, the Chinese company Tencent has found a clever way to circumvent censorship: Tencent cleverly bypasses censorship for PUBG – earning $14 million

Some owners of the Xbox Series X/S are plagued by an annoying issue with their Wireless Controller. It disconnects suddenly from the console. Microsoft has now stated that they want to address the problem.
What is this problem? The problem has existed since the release of the Xbox Series X/S. Players report that their Wireless Controllers disconnect suddenly from the console, even though they are still charged.
There are various posts, for example on Twitter, that point to the problem:
In the Xbox subreddit, some users complain about the issue. The problems seem not to be related to a specific game but occur randomly.
This is what Microsoft says: Microsoft has now stated that they want to address the issue. In an official statement (via Verge.com), they explain:
We at Microsoft put all our products through rigorous quality tests and are committed to providing our customers with an unparalleled gaming experience. We are aware that some players may experience disconnections with their new Xbox Wireless Controllers, and our teams are actively working on a solution that will be included in a future update.
When will the update come? Microsoft has not yet specified when exactly the adjustments will come.
Install Xbox Series X Update: Here’s how
Microsoft has stated that a solution to the problem will be included in one of the upcoming updates.
If you are affected by the issue, you should regularly check your console for updates. We explain how to update your Xbox console:
First, check if your console is connected to the internet, then press the Xbox button on your controller to access the menu.
Next, select the “Profile and System” menu item, and select “System”. Here, choose “Updates”.
Under “Updates”, it will now indicate whether a system update is available. You can then manually download and install it.

Even if these games were not exactly the biggest hits, they still brought joy to some of you.
In March 2020, Doom Eternal hit the scene and captured the hearts of many fans of classic arcade shooters. You once again take on the role of the legendary Doom Slayer, to save Earth from the horde of demons that have broken out of Hell and launched an invasion.
Humanity stands on the brink, and the Doom Slayer is the only one who can save us. With fast-paced action, hordes of enemies, and plenty of blood and body parts, Doom Eternal slaughtered its way to place 10 in our survey.
The colorful Steam game was basically the gaming summer hit of 2020. In this somewhat different battle royale game, players must compete against each other for the crown. Just that they don’t do it with firearms or magic as usual, but in a “Takeshi’s Castle”-like race. And your character is bean-shaped.
Upon release, Fall Guys was a viral hit on Twitch and ranked among the 12 most successful games on Steam in 2020. Even though the hype for the game significantly waned by the end of the year, the colorful beans also became popular among MeinMMO users, bumping their way to place 9 in our survey.
Valorant is one of the less expected releases of 2020, with a beta in April and a release shortly thereafter in early June. The tactical team-based shooter gives you a selection of different agents with their own abilities, roles in combat, pros, and cons.
Valorant differs from many other shooters with its slower tactical gameplay, where players must coordinate well in a team to ultimately succeed. Valorant managed to shoot its way to place 8 in our survey.
The latest installment in the “Call of Duty” franchise places its players in the charged times of the Cold War. Intrigue, extremists, and espionage are on the agenda. Your task is to find and eliminate the dangerous Russian agent Perseus. However, in the tangled story, nothing is as it seems, and everyone could be an enemy.
Although Fallout 76 has been on the market for 2 years now, the Wastelanders addon was a significant event for players. It brought features into the game that many had wished for from the start: more story, more quests and finally real NPCs. This made the game much more like the popular Fallout 4 and also added new RPG elements.
The major overhaul of Fallout 76 breathed new life into Appalachia and seems to have been well received by MeinMMO users. After all, the survival game rose to 6th place in our survey.
On the next page, we continue with your top 5 from 2020!

A gold booster in WoW had his account banned. There was over 100 million gold on it. The player says it is due to a quiet change of rules in World of Warcraft that Blizzard has not made public. However, the community shows no sympathy but is gleeful.
This is gold boosting: In WoW, it is common to buy into strong groups by offering gold to the group leader. Such “gold boosting” offers are openly advertised in the game.
Advertising the offers is tolerated by Blizzard as long as you write these offers in the trade chat and not in other channels:
Then these players sell this token in WoW to “rich players” in the auction house and receive gold for it.
With the new gold, they then buy a service from “boosting services” provided by strong players in WoW that they would not otherwise achieve. Boosts are available for PvP, Mythic+ runs, raid clears, or mount runs.
Blizzard game master lifts the penalty, bans the player immediately
This is Ghormor’s problem: The player Ghormor is a gold booster and very successful in what he does. He is an experienced veteran in gold boosting, who regularly has contact with Blizzard. Because time and again, nasty competitors interfere with his business and silence his account when he makes his offers in the trade chat.
He then turns to the game masters and tells them: “Please unmute me in the trade chat. My competitors reported me again.”
At the beginning of 2021, he did it again. But he encountered the wrong GM, who then told him:
I have been playing Blizzard games for over ten years, and it would completely break me if something happened to my account. So I took extra time for your case.
Upon closer inspection, we discovered that the WoW account was created solely to advertise boosts. While it is okay to advertise boosts for gold in the trade channel, we have changed our rules to state that it is not okay to create a WoW account just for that purpose.
Therefore, we have decided to lift the silence on your account but to ban your account.
A Blizzard GameMaster
This correspondence with a Blizzard GM was shown by Ghormor.
This was the player’s reaction: He was completely flabbergasted because he was not aware of this rule and contacted Blizzard again. Now he wanted to speak to another game master who had helped him very well in the past. This can’t be true. The change hadn’t even been announced.
However, he received a cold shower from Blizzard: The ban would remain in place and they considered the case closed.
This is being discussed: On reddit, Ghormor shares his story. He feels absolutely unfairly treated by Blizzard. The game master responded to him quite cynically by turning the mute into a permanent ban. Meanwhile, Ghormor always followed the rules.
The account was not only meant for advertising boosts but was also created as a bank character and to monitor the auction house.
Many of the comments on reddit are therefore more gleeful than understanding. The banned gold booster can hardly hope for community support.
Comments like:
Nice to see it works when you complain about advertising!
I feel like you’re feeling discouraged now and considering giving up gold boosting altogether. That would be such a shame. LOLZ
Fuck yeah! Finally!
Just imagine you invest so much time and energy for a post in the hope of getting the “troops to gather” and thousands come to help, all supporting your cause… only to quickly realize that no one cares, and no one likes what you’re doing.
“Boosters” apparently cannot expect any sympathy in WoW.
Anyone who was involved with Gallywix should quickly distance themselves from that.
Blizzard had already tightened the rules for gold boosters in 2020 and wanted to ensure that the constant spam in all channels would stop. Apparently, the rules have now been tightened again, which became Ghormor’s downfall:
Pokémon GO has changed some moves and Pokémon in PvP during Season 6. We show you what is new now.
What is new? The team from Pokémon GO has made some changes to the current PvP season. The damage of 7 moves has been changed. Additionally, certain moves can now be taught to other Pokémon.
This affects the rest of the season and leads to some team changes. We show you the changes here in an overview.
Moves Changes from January 5
What exactly changes? To balance the game, the damage of attacks has been increased and decreased. In trainer battles, this has now changed to:
Ember: The Fire-type fast move now does more damage
Waterfall: The Water-type charge move now does more damage
Karate Chop: The Fighting-type fast move now generates more energy
Bubble: The Water-type fast move now does less damage
Razor Leaf: The Grass-type fast move now does less damage
Aerial Ace: The Flying-type charge move now does less damage
Rock Slide: The Rock-type charge move now does less damage
Shadow Ball: The Ghost-type charge move now does less damage
The following moves have changed which Pokémon can learn them.
Weather Ball (Fire): Vulpix and Ninetales (Kanto) can now learn this Fire move
Weather Ball (Ice): Vulpix and Ninetales (Alola) can now learn this Ice move
Weather Ball (Water): Quagsire can now learn this Water move
Icy Wind: Swalot can now learn this Ice move
Ice Beam: Lapras can now learn this Ice move
Shadow Ball: Lapras can now learn this Ghost move
Triple Axel: Porygon2 can now learn this Normal move
Mud Shot: Excadrill can now learn this Ground-type fast move
If you are at least rank 19 at the end of the season, you will also receive a Premium Fast TM
At rank 20, you are guaranteed to get Swablu, which will be available in Pokémon GO for the first time. It will also appear as a reward at higher ranks
Who is it worth for? In November, Niantic announced the biggest update that Pokémon GO has ever seen. They increased the maximum level to 50 and fundamentally changed the PvP. So if you haven’t looked into trainer battles for a while, you can now get to know the new system.
Instead of 10 ranks, there are now 24 ranks. Along with new Pokémon encounters and exclusive rewards, depending on the rank achieved.
How do you like the PvP in Pokémon GO? Is it something you play regularly or do you prefer raids and other content? Let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange with other trainers in the community.
In Genshin Impact there are two new promo codes. One provides you with free Primogems as well as character XP and the in-game currency Mora. We at MeinMMO reveal what the codes are and how to redeem them.
Both codes can currently be redeemed as of January 6, 2021, although they are a few days old. The codes can only be used once per account and will expire over time.
How to redeem the code? To redeem the code, you must have reached Adventure Level 10 in the game. Before that, the codes cannot be used. Redeeming is quite simple:
In the game, go to the settings (the gear icon) and you will find the “Account” button near the end. There you can redeem the voucher code.
This is how you redeem the promo code in-game.
Primogems as an important premium currency for endgame
What are Primogems? Primogems are one of the most important currencies in the game. You can use them either to utilize the gacha system with wishes and hope for new characters or to buy “Original Resin”.
How else can you get Primogems? The fastest and easiest way to obtain Primogems is through real money. For the 110 Primogems included in the code, you would need to spend approximately €2.20.
In addition to spending real money, you can also farm Primogems in-game, for example through daily missions, quests, or treasure chests.
In Destiny 2, the final hunt of Season 12 has now begun. We reveal everything about the new mission Coup de Grâce and how the Guardians show that they can forgive.
What’s new: On the evening of January 5th, Destiny 2 awakened from its content winter sleep. After the relatively quiet weeks during Christmas and the New Year, players are looking forward to

Story lovers about one of the most important cutscenes in recent times.
Triumph hunters about the fact that they are one big step closer to the seasonal title.
“Coup de Grâce” & the final bait upgrade in the Season of the Hunt
This is what players have been waiting for: In the Season 12, players go on a big game hunt with the Kryptholith bait. However, for weeks, the Guardians have been wondering where the final upgrade is. Good news: the last bait upgrade is now available.
The new mission “Coup de Grâce” starts with you going to Crow in the Tangled Shore. Here you will finally find the long-missed upgrade.
The upgrade allows you to finally deal the titular mercy blow to the High Celebrant – the leader of the Wrathborn and the killer of Sagira.
This brings the seasonal title “Guardian” within reach. Because together with the upgrade, you will receive a triumph. During the mission, you will also unlock the other secret triumph you need for the Guardian title.
Today you take down the main prize
This is how you hunt the High Celebrant: The mission itself is a very long Wrathborn hunt in the Dreaming City, which you accept at Spider. A power level of 1,250 is recommended, and you can team up with up to 3 Guardians.
As usual, you follow the tracks of the sought-after opponent through the area (the greenish puddles on the ground and in the air).
In between, the High Celebrant confronts you and you must fight against him and smaller add waves until he flees.
To deal effective damage, look for the enemy nearby who has a green shimmer around them. Once taken out, they will leave a buff (angry) – now you have a brief moment to deal significant boss damage.
The hunt spans large sections of the Dreaming City and you also switch to the Ascendant Realm in between (but for this, you don’t need aQueen’s Leaf Tincture this time).
Throughout the mission, Osiris speaks to you, but he doesn’t help – lore lovers will be all ears.
Once the High Celebrant is defeated, you will receive a powerful reward, an exotic ship, and the secret triumph “Wrath Conqueror”. Afterwards, an important story cutscene awaits you.
Currently, it seems that not all rewards drop at the end of the mission – Bungie is investigating the issue (via Twitter).
If you lack the right firepower, you can find the right arsenal here:

Bungie warns of problems in the “Coup de Grâce” mission
Therefore, you must hold back: Those going into the mission alone and are slightly under-leveled may find the High Celebrant quite a challenge. But if you are well-equipped and out in a team, you will take down the boss in no time.
However, you should avoid this at all costs.
Bungie reported via Twitter that “it is recommended to take it slow when dealing damage to the High Celebrant.” If the health bar drops too quickly, it can cause problems. The boss may become immune, preventing you from completing the mission, or the opponent dies, but you cannot progress properly through the mission. So take your time with the story mission to avoid any issues.
In response to Bungie’s tweet, the biggest Destiny streamer Gladd demonstrated how you actually should not do it:
New cutscene finally advances a 2-year-old story thread
Warning: Story spoilers follow. Those who wish to be surprised can return later.
This is what happens after the mission: At the beginning of the mission, Spider asked you for help. As a reward, he promised that you could choose anything from his hideout.
In the concluding cutscene, we then choose Crow, who has been Spider’s vassal since Season 12. The black market dealer initially thinks it’s a joke, but is reminded by the Guardian of his wording, as Crow is also in his hideout.
Grumpily, Spider consents and chases the Guardian and Crow out of his hideout.
With this, we have forgiven Crow for his murder of Cayde-6 (then still as Uldren) and accepted him into the Guardian community. The next step is likely that Crow will take Cayde-6’s place as the leader of the Hunters in the Vanguard.
We outsmart the rascal Spider and rescue Crow
Since the now redeemed and resurrected Crow has committed his misdeeds in Forsaken, more than 2 years have passed. Since then, players have consistently heard snippets of lore about what the fallen prince has been up to. Finally – or unfortunately for some – he is now coming to the Tower. Apparently, even hardened and god-killing Guardians can forgive.
While Spider chases you from his lair, to properly complete the mission for the triumph and the quest log, you will need to visit him again. So pay a visit to the grumpy NPC directly … his mood has mysteriously improved.
Were you surprised by the mission, and can you forgive Crow like your Guardian, or will he always be the murderer Uldren for you? Let us know in the comments.
We have created a list of all monsters from Monster Hunter World and summarized what is known about them and what loot can be obtained from them. The list is current as of December 2019.
The most important thing in Monster Hunter World is hunting the various monsters, all of which have special characteristics.
[toc]
In the monster list, you will see:
where you can find the creatures
what loot they drop
which elements and statuses they are weak against
a brief description of the monsters, where you will also find some tips on fighting them.
What do NR, HR, MR, and the Plus stand for? In the list, you will see these abbreviations next to the loot. NR stands for Low Rank, HR for High Rank, and Plus also applies to High Rank. You can undertake quests at Low or High Rank, which changes the loot of the monsters.
Since the Iceborne expansion, there is a third rank. The Master Rank is abbreviated as MR. Additionally, you can now also find the monster materials from the endgame area Guiding Lands.
Update January 6, 2021: This list was published in 2017 and updated in 2018 to include all DLC monsters. In January 2021, the last items of the Master Rank were added.
Where can you find monsters from the Iceborne expansion? If you are currently playing the new addon and looking for new monsters, check out our list of new monsters from Iceborne.

Battle Tip: Anjanath are ruthless hunters that will not let their prey escape easily. They are highly aggressive and attack anything that comes within their grasp. Their arms, legs, head, and nose are vulnerable. The tail can be severed.
Description: The Azure Rathalos shares most traits with the Rathalos but has higher stamina, more health, and stronger attack power. It has a wider range of attacks than the regular Rathalos and is even more aggressive.
Combat Tip: For the Azure Rathalos, the wings and head are its weak points. These should be targeted as soon as the beast is on the ground. It is possible to bring down the Azure Rathalos with a slinger or thunderbomb from the air.

Combat Tip: The Barroth rolls in mud and lets it dry to increase its defense. The hard mud should be attacked with water elements to soften and nullify it.

Type: Flying Wyvern
Habitat: Home of the Elders, Ancient Forest, Wildspire Waste, Coral Highlands, Vale of Corruption
Prey:
Bazelgeuse Gem
Bazelgeuse Wing

Stun 1
Description: The Bazelgeuse has no territory where it stands firm, instead it wanders through all maps of Monster Hunter World. The Bazelgeuse has explosive scales that it drops on its opponents.
Combat Tip: The legs of the Bazelgeuse are its weak point. Hunters should only attack its legs when the Bazelgeuse is not currently dropping its explosive scales.
Behemoth
Type: Elder Dragon
Habitat: Home of the Elders
Loot:
Behemoth Mane
Behemoth Bone
Behemoth Claw
Behemoth Large Horn
Behemoth Tail
Aethryte Crystal
Elemental Weaknesses:
Fire: 1
Water: 2
Thunder: 1
Ice: 2
Dragon: 3
Status Weaknesses:
Poison: 2
Sleep: 2
Paralysis: 2
Explosion: 2
Stun: 2
Description: The Behemoth originates from Final Fantasy and has two mechanics that are atypical for Monster Hunter: spells and aggro. The spells are particularly dangerous for you and every hunter should be well aware of them. Once the monster has built up aggro, it focuses all its attention on just one player.
Combat Tip: The Behemoth has a total of four phases and five spells. Each new phase is heralded by the meteor. Here, the Behemoth casts a meteor on random players. When the Behemoth casts “Summon Comet,” it lays large rocks on the battlefield. These must be used to survive its strongest attack “Ecliptic Meteor.” Hunters can hide behind the rocks here.
Description: The Deviljho wanders like the Bazelgeuse through all areas searching for flesh due to its insatiable hunger. It generally attacks all monsters and hunters as well. The Deviljho has a similar attack pattern to the Anjanath, but is considerably faster in movement and executes its attacks for longer periods.
Battle Tip: The Deviljho is weak to Thunder and Dragon, these elements should be on your weapons. In rage mode, a mist flows from the mouth of the Deviljho, which causes Dragonblight to you. This can be countered with Nullberries or at least 20 Dragon Resistance on your armor. For the corrosive saliva, Diamond Seeds help. Under the belly of the Deviljho is the safest position.
Anesthesia: The Diablos preferably lives in the desert and burrows into the ground there. The horned beast ambushes hunters from underground and attacks from hiding as soon as it hears them. The Diablos has little pause between its attacks, making it a challenging opponent. It either strikes with its tail or tries to knock down its foes with its massive horns.
Combat Tip: The Diablos uses a charge attack where it burrows and quickly rushes at hunters from underground – as a hunter, it is important to keep moving. The Diablos also has a powerful roar that can temporarily stun hunters. The “Earplugs” skill, found on some armor, can help here. The horns can be broken and the tail can be severed.
Description: The Dodogama has special saliva that allows it to cause stones to explode. It spits these at hunters to attack them. The creature is peaceful and will only attack if provoked.
Combat Tip: When the Dodogama is carrying heated stones in its mouth, hunters can attack them. The attacks will cause the stones in Dodogama’s mouth to explode and deal significant damage to it.

Description: Kirin is a dangerous Elder Dragon, famous for its horn. The Kirin’s fur is as tough as armor, making the delicate-looking creature robust. The Kirin is associated with the Thunder element, and all its attacks involve electricity. The Kirin summons lightning that strikes down on hunters. The Kirin can also charge itself with electricity to enhance its attacks.
Combat Tip: Due to the Thunder element, hunters can quickly become paralyzed and should bring enough Nullberries into the battle against the Kirin. The berries reduce the paralysis effect. A high resistance to the Kirin’s strong Thunder attacks is also essential.
Description: Kulu-Ya-Ku resemble Dodos and throw stones at their enemies, using the stones as shields to defend themselves.
Combat Tip: Hunters can shoot the stones from Kulu-Ya-Ku’s hands with slings. The stone breaks when attacked multiple times with a weapon. The birds are vulnerable at the head, beak, and arms.

Description: Kulve Taroth appears only during an event and in a special siege quest called “Feast in the Earthen Hall.” You can participate in the quest with up to 16 players and work together on progress. Using a points system, certain goals must be reached to improve rewards.
Combat Tips: Try to break as much of the golden armor as possible and collect all pieces to improve your rewards. This is how you get the rare relic weapons. The more players participate in the quest, the faster and easier it will be. Fire protection is immensely important against Kulve Taroth.
Description: The Kushala Daora has wings that are covered in metal. The dragon influences the wind and can create a strong wind barrier that repels hunters.
Combat Tip: The wind shield reflects projectiles from bows and bowguns. The shield is weakened when weapons are equipped with the Elder Seal. Additionally, the Kushala Daora’s vulnerability to poison is so high that if poisoned, its wind aura is suppressed.

Description: The Lavasioth is a Fish Wyvern that lives in lava – instead of water. The body of the Lavasioth is covered in lava. When the lava around its body hardens, it creates a strong armor. The Lavasioth also spits large fireballs at hunters, which shatter on the ground and become small projectiles.
Combat Tip: Hunters should bombard the Lavasioth with their strongest attacks when the Fish Wyvern emerges from the lava. At this point, the lava layer is still soft and the creature is vulnerable.

Description: Lunastra is the female counterpart to Teostra and can, just like him, shroud herself in a flame aura. She uses her powerful teeth like flint to ignite a blue powder. The resulting aura continuously deals damage.
Combat Tip: Ice drinks and fire resistance are a must against Lunastra. Her fire attacks deal area damage with high range. Breaking Lunastra’s head significantly weakens her fire attacks. Flash Bombs are ineffective against Lunastra, as they do not fall from the sky through her. However, bombs neutralize the flammable powder and can negate the effect.
Description: The Nergigante is an Elder Dragon and can regenerate at an incredible speed. It is extremely aggressive and attacks anything that stands in its way. When the spikes on its arms or back break off, they grow back immediately. When they grow, the spikes are white and turn black once they are hardened. Once the spikes are hardened, they deal more damage.
Battle Tip: The Nergigante has an attack that slams the ground, breaking its spikes. At this stage, it is particularly vulnerable and should be attacked before the spikes grow back.

Description: Pukei-Pukei store a portion of their food in their mouth and tail. They combine the food with their venom, allowing them to spray poison from their mouth and tail.
Combat Tip: Pukei-Pukei are timid and flee from large monsters, which hunters can take advantage of.The tail of the Pukei-Pukei should be severed as quickly as possible so that it can no longer spray poison from it. The head, back, tail, and wings are vulnerable.

Combat Tip: The fight with Xeno’jiiva is divided into two phases.
In the first phase, hunters should focus on the tail of the creature and try to sever it. At this point, Xeno’jiiva is still close to the ground, making it easier to reach its tail.
In the second phase, the dragon rises to an elevated position. Here, hunters should focus on the legs, as they can break. Once the legs are broken, hunters can turn their attention to the head. If this breaks, they have a chance for an item drop. The wings are also a weak point.
