In Destiny 2, a new zone has now been discovered in an area that is three years old. It seems to be an Exotic mission that will reward you with Hawkmoon in Season 12.
What has been found: Players have now discovered a hidden area that you can enter from the European Dead Zone (EDZ). The newly discovered area is quite large and features a cave system, collapsed railway tracks, and remnants of the Traveler.
The zone is called “Hallowed Rift.”
Currently, players believe that this is the secret Exotic mission for the hand cannon Hawkmoon.
Can I enter the area myself? Yes, you can already take a look at the hidden area. However, getting into the area is not that easy. You need to glitch through walls and master quite complicated jumps.
Here you can check out the hidden zone and see exactly how to enter it:

Once you have entered the new area, you can move freely and explore everything. However, you won’t encounter enemies here, only a few annoying “Taken Pushers” are lurking around.
This is why it should be the Exotic mission for Hawkmoon
It has been officially confirmed by Bungie that the exotic hand cannon Hawkmoon will be available in the ongoing Season 12. There are now many indications that we will receive the popular weapon in the newly discovered area during a secret Exotic mission – just like the Whisper or the Outbreak before.
This speaks in favor of it: All weapons from the surprising Exotic missions with their own areas received 2 ornaments right at the release:
Similar to the Whisper mission from 2018, the new area is also located behind a Lost Sector. The zone is also structured similarly to the other mission zones. You just have to imagine a merciless timer and extremely difficult battles added to that.
It also fits from the story side: Uldren returns in Season 12 as the Crow and it is almost confirmed that we will receive the Hawkmoon quest from him. In the hidden area, you will find remnants of the Traveler. Anyone who remembers the Forsaken campaign knows that Uldren sought and attacked these in the EDZ.
Uldren as he captures a small shard of the Traveler
When should you get Hawkmoon in Season 12 of Destiny 2?
According to recent findings from data miners (via reddit), the ornaments are expected to arrive in the Eververse on December 15. Therefore, many now assume that the quest for Hawkmoon will be available then and that we will be able to enter the new area in the EDZ normally.
However, keep in mind that all this information has not been confirmed by Bungie. Therefore, it is speculation, even if the sources have often been correct in the past.
What do you think, have the players already found the secret mission for Hawkmoon here? Or is it a hidden area that has just been discovered after 3 years and has no relevance anymore?
Week 2 of WoW: Shadowlands is underway. We’ll tell you 5 things you should definitely get done before next Wednesday.
In World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, the second week after release has begun. This means new unlocks, more progress for legendary items, and generally more to do to prepare for the upcoming raids. We’ll let you know what you should definitely get done in week 2 so you don’t fall behind. But don’t worry – even if you have limited time, you can only fall behind slightly in Shadowlands.
Visit Torghast
Even in the second week, you should make at least two visits to Torghast mandatory. This time the two wings “Fracture Halls” and “Mort’regar” are open. Together, both wings reward you with 610 Soul Ash, plus another 100 Soul Ash if you complete the quest from Bolvar Fordragon. If you were active last week, you should have gathered 1,250 Soul Ash by now and can start crafting your first legendary item. You can find all the details about crafting here. If you are still looking for the best Legendary for your specialization, this list will help.
You should check back in Torghast.
Weekly Quests for Ve’nari
In the Maw, there are not only two daily quests every day, but also two weekly ones that you can accept from the broker Ve’nari. These quests don’t take much time and can be completed in a few minutes. They grant a large amount of Stygia and reputation with Ve’nari. You need the reputation to unlock permanent upgrades in the Maw or Torghast. Later on, you can also unlock sockets and even legendary powers from Ve’nari.
Ve’nari sells many upgrades for the Maw and Torghast. You should follow up on this!
Try Out Your Covenant Feature
As in the first week, your covenant will again send you into the Maw to save 5 souls. The souls are grateful for their rescue and will serve you afterwards as “resources” to further develop your Covenant Sanctum. This allows you to finally utilize the special feature of your covenant:
With the Kyrian, you train your soul bonds for ascension
The Necrolords begin building their abominations
The Night Fae cultivate wild seeds and assist gods in rebirth
The Venthyr throw extravagant parties and fulfill the guests’ wishes
To make the party a success, you must take care of all the guests – for example with music.
Refill Anima Reserves
To continue leveling up in the glory of your covenant, you also need to gather 1,000 Anima again. This can be done through world quests, random dungeons, PvP battlegrounds, PvP missions, treasure chests, rare enemies, or adventures. Once you collect the 1,000 Anima and increase your covenant to renown level 5, your covenant campaign will continue.
You will then experience the next part of the extensive story and learn new secrets from the Shadowlands. Especially the Night Fae should be pleased, as they embark on a quest to discover the fate of Tyrande Whisperwind. But the other covenants also have cool stories that are now slowly coming to light.
If you’re interested in more about WoW, the following might also interest you:
When you are out in the Maw, you should also look out for the Jailer’s Fury. This is an event that occurs every hour and is clearly marked on the map. But join a group, as it is hardly beatable with fewer than 5 players.
After enough enemies have been killed in the marked area, the boss will appear and can be defeated. The boss has a chance to drop an item with an item level of 183. For druids, a legendary power might even drop.
However, keep in mind that you can only fight the boss for loot once per week. If you didn’t get anything the first time, you had bad luck and will have to try again next week.
If you have completed all the tasks mentioned above, you can certainly do much more in Shadowlands. After all, there are tasks, missions, and plenty of collectibles waiting at every corner. Why not try to farm these 5 mounts? Or just go out into the world and grab two of the coolest toys currently available in the game. Shadowlands has much to offer, and there’s something to see at every corner.
Finally, many players begin raid preparation. After all, next week the first season of Shadowlands starts, along with the raid Castle Nathria and the “Mythic+” dungeons.
Have you completed your tasks for the week yet? What goals have you set for yourself?

In New World, you can join one of three factions, which are notably different. We at MeinMMO spoke with the developers and reveal to you the differences and what Amazon is doing to maintain a balance between the factions.
What are these factions? In New World, you have three factions to choose from, which differ significantly in their history and play style. You can join one of them starting at level 10:
The Marauders
The Covenant
The Syndicate
By joining such a faction, you are bound to it for the entire time your character exists. Only after this joining can you join a corresponding guild and participate in the war for territories. These PvP wars are a centerpiece of New World.
Joining a faction also slightly alters your play style and your rewards. According to Game Director Scot Lane, there should be no gameplay disadvantages between the three factions.
Wars between the factions are said to be particularly fun
Where does the information come from? Our author Leya Jankowski was a guest at Amazon and was able to exclusively try out New World and conduct an interview there.
The article was originally published in February 2020 and updated on December 4, 2020. New information from the play event and the German translations have been included.
The Differences Between the Factions
These are the Marauders: The Marauders resemble pirates a bit. They love freedom more than power and are strong, valuing high damage output.
Accordingly, you get advantages in dealing damage when you join the Marauders.
This is the Covenant: The Covenant resembles crusaders. They are armored fighters fighting against evil on the island of Aeternum. The faction takes on the role of puristic heroes.
As a feature, you gain access to more heavy armor in the endgame, which fits the faction’s preference to fight at the front.
This is the Syndicate: The Syndicate gathers the alchemists and mages of New World. Scot Lane describes them as a kind of “alternative version of Isaac Newton”.
As a member of the Syndicate, you gain increased access to all kinds of potions that are supposed to influence gameplay.
New World offers various play and combat styles
How to earn faction rewards? To earn the respective faction rewards, you need to improve your reputation within it.
This is accomplished by completing quests and missions for the faction. This grants you access to special faction-related items. Scot Lane states:
You can then exchange your reputation for goods that only your faction possesses. This gives you access to things that other factions do not have.
They are all equally good, there are no advantages or disadvantages. It’s more about what you prefer.
To achieve this, they are utilizing several systems:
The differences in the play styles of the factions should lead players to join a group out of conviction and not just based on size.
There will be an underdog system at launch, through which the actions of smaller factions will have more weight.
Through the “influence race”, factions need to gather influence if they want to expand their territory and declare wars. The amount of influence a faction gains can be controlled and altered.
The fact that three factions are battling should allow the two weaker ones to ally against the strong faction if it dominates.
Fights over fortresses will also involve siege weapons
How was the population during the tests? In the tests, there seemed to be no major issues regarding population:
Based on our current data, we can see that there [has been no imbalance] so far. We have seen that the distribution has been almost perfect.
You cannot change your faction once you are in it. That’s why we let players know beforehand how many people are in a faction. However, I believe that most players would not join the largest faction, but would opt for one of the other two.
Scot Lane – Game Director
However, there was criticism after the play event in August that the factions had too little significance.
What do you think about the different factions? Which one interests you the most? And how do you assess New World overall?
How we at MeinMMO evaluate New World, we reveal here:
Anyone who still doesn’t have a PlayStation 5 will get another chance to order one this year according to Sony. Because in 2020 there will still be a 4th ordering wave. But for today, December 3rd, some retailers have already confirmed that they will be offering PS5 consoles again. MeinMMO summarizes them for you.
Update December 3, 4:22 PM: Various users who ordered their consoles at Euronics report that they have not received an order confirmation, although the money has been deducted from their account or PayPal.
Euronics tweeted that you should contact support at [email protected] or possibly call them. The retailer is currently checking the transactions and you will receive your answer regarding the status of your order there:
Update December 3, 1:18 PM: After another phone call with MediMax support, we were informed that the PS5 is now sold out there as well.
Update December 3, 12:45 PM:We just spoke to Medimax again. They told us that PS5s are still available for ordering. However, there may be problems with sales as the site is being bombarded by bots. So don’t be surprised if you see the message “Not available.” According to the Medimax employee, interested parties should try every 5 minutes.
Here is the updated list of retailers confirmed for today so far:
Important: However, deliveries to foreign countries do not seem to be possible at Libro and MediaMarkt (Austria). Deliveries will only be made to Austrian addresses.
These retailers are not confirmed for today but may still possibly take new PS5 orders today:
The offers marked with an asterisk are equipped with so-called affiliate links. By purchasing through one of these links, you support MeinMMO: We receive a small commission from the provider at no extra cost to you.
Update December 3, 12:12 PM: Apparently, today’s stock at Medimax is also sold out. Some users are now seeing the following:
Update December 3, 12:08 PM: Even though this is still being hotly debated – it seems that the PS5 could already be ordered at Medimax today.
Thanks to MeinMMO reader Dominik Zerres.
Update December 3, 11:58 AM: There are unconfirmed reports that the PS5 is already sold out at Medimax. Unfortunately, we cannot verify this right now as we are currently unable to access the site.
Update December 3, 11:40 AM: Currently, we are receiving more reports in the comments about successful orders at Medimax. So try your luck there. If the reports are true, this may be your last chance for a PS5 – at least today.
Update December 3, 11:34 AM: Now you (at least I) can again access the GameStop site without any problems and without waiting. But there it seems to be already over. The info page for the PS5 states:
Sorry, PS5 fans.
Unfortunately, there are no more PlayStation 5 available. As soon as we have news for you and can start a new reservation phase, we will inform you again.
Good to know: No consoles will be available in our stores.
Update December 3, 11:25 AM: The situation around Medimax remains unclear. The site is currently difficult to access, if at all. We from MeinMMO were told today during a phone inquiry that there were still consoles at that time and online sales were ongoing.
However, there are also (unconfirmed) reports that Medimax employees are said to have stated that no consoles are available for sale today. Others report that they were able to successfully order there today. We will continue to keep an eye on this for you.
Update December 3, 11:15 AM: Some are reporting that the delivery date for today’s order at GameStop is indicated as December 15. What about you?
Update December 3, 11:10 AM: There are still unconfirmed reports that some are still able to successfully order at GameStop.
Update December 3, 11:08 AM: The Medimax site is currently unreachable. Whether one can still grab a PS5 there is currently unclear.
Update December 3, 11:05 AM: If you ordered a PS5 from Euronics today but have not yet received a confirmation, MeinMMO user PS5hunter writes: “Please wait 1-2 hours for the confirmation email. If you do not receive an email in the next 1-2 hours, please contact support with your order details (name, address) at [email protected].”
Update December 3, 11:00 AM: According to Gameswirtschaft, orders from Otto were possible both via the hotline and the website. Previously, there were rumors that orders could only be made by phone today.
Update December 3, 10:51 AM: Euronics has just posted on Twitter that their PS5 allocation is now sold out.
Update December 3, 10:50 AM: We at MeinMMO just spoke with Medimax. They told us that there are still consoles available and sales are ongoing – but not over the phone. You should keep trying through the Medimax site.
Update December 3, 10:40 AM: Reports about Euronics orders are increasing. However, some are apparently not receiving order confirmation. Please note: These are still unconfirmed reports.
Update December 3, 10:38 AM: There are first unconfirmed reports that orders can currently be made at Euronics.
Update December 3, 10:31 AM: It looks like the PS5 is already sold out at GameStop:
Update December 3, 10:27 AM: There are further reports indicating that orders can currently be placed at GameStop if you can get past the waiting page. Try your luck there!
Update December 3, 10:25 AM: At Amazon, it looks like today’s PS5 allocation is already sold out again.
Update December 3, 10:20 AM: There are some unconfirmed reports that orders can already be placed at GameStop, if you can get past the waiting queue. However, we are unable to access the waiting page ourselves.
Update December 3, 10:12 AM: Immediately head to Amazon! The PS5 is currently available there! Delivery is supposed to start from December 17.
Update December 3, 10:05 AM: The disc version of the PS5 at Expert has been switched from “sold out” to “item is currently unavailable” again. This was already the case just before 9:00 AM. Later, the site switched back to “sold out”. So something might happen today at Expert as well.
Update December 3, 10:00 AM: Occasionally, you can now access the Euronics site, but it still only shows the waiting wheel if you manage to get on.
Update December 3, 09:58 AM: According to unconfirmed reports, orders at Otto could apparently only be made by phone today through the hotline.

Update December 3, 09:50 AM: GameStop.de has now also announced on their site that PS5 orders will be accepted again today during the morning – but the quantity is limited. The delivery is supposed to take place no later than December 18.
Currently, the site is inaccessible and you are placed in a “waiting queue”.
Update December 3, 09:43 AM: If you call the Otto hotline, you will be told directly that the PS5 is already completely sold out. We at MeinMMO just tried it ourselves.
Update December 3, 09:39 AM: There are also unconfirmed reports that the PS5 was also briefly offered at Amazon UK. So keep an eye on the German Amazon site for good measure.
Update December 3, 09:36 AM: There are some unconfirmed reports that orders could just be placed at Otto and that the PS5 is already sold out there.
Update December 3, 09:32 AM: According to Gameswirtschaft, today’s available stock is significantly smaller than in the previous 3 waves. MeinMMO wishes all buyers and interested parties good luck today!
Update December 3, 09:24 AM: The digital PS5 is currently displayed again at Amazon, but still as “Currently unavailable.” Maybe something will happen at Amazon today as well.
Update December 3, 09:22 AM: The Medimax site is also currently difficult to access.
Update December 3, 09:16 AM: I just briefly accessed the product page for the PS5 at Euronics. There, at least for me, an order was still not possible, only a waiting wheel was spinning next to the PS5. A few seconds later, the following message appeared:
Update December 3, 09:10 AM: Expert.de now lists the disc version of the PS5 again as “sold out.” It is unknown whether something was possible in the meantime. Expert has not been one of the confirmed retailers today.
Update December 3, 09:00 AM: The Euronics site is currently unreachable. Whether the sale has already started is currently unclear. Definitely keep an eye on the site from now on.
Update December 3, 08:50 AM: Even though Expert.de is not yet on the confirmed retailers list today, something seems to be happening on their homepage. Because the product page for the disc version of the PS5 has recently switched from “sold out” to “item is currently unavailable.” However, the digital version still says “The product you selected is sold out.” We will continue to keep an eye on this for you.
Update December 3, 08:15 AM: Reports indicate that Mediamarkt.at, like Libro, only ships to Austrian addresses. So these 2 retailers are essentially only relevant for interested parties in Austria (or if you have friends, acquaintances, or relatives in Austria).
Update December 3, 08:05 AM: The retailer Medimax will also begin offering PS5 orders again today during the morning. The company has confirmed this on its own site. So keep an eye on Euronics, Otto, and Medimax.
Update December 3, 08:00 AM: It seems that today will initially remain with the mentioned retailers. As Gameswirtschaft reports, other retailers such as Amazon, Expert, GameStop, Müller or Medimax will only be involved in the “actual” 4th wave. This is supposed to take place at the end of the year.
Update December 3, 07:30 AM: Whether today actually involves the announced 4th wave or whether only a few retailers are offering new orders is still unknown. But it currently looks more like an interim solution with only 2 retailers (Otto and Euronics in Germany). Interested parties in Germany should therefore keep an eye on Euronics and Otto today.
Update December 3, 07:10 AM: As with our last articles, we are highly dependent on you, the readers of MeinMMO today. If you know of any other retailers that are taking PS5 orders again today, suddenly have orders live, or have other important information – please let us and other readers know in the comments so we can provide everyone with the latest information.
Update December 3, 06:45 AM:
Here is the list of retailers confirmed for today so far:
Important: However, deliveries to foreign countries do not seem to be possible. Deliveries will only be made to Austrian addresses. We currently do not know what the situation is like at MediaMarkt.at.
The offers marked with an asterisk are equipped with so-called affiliate links. By purchasing through one of these links, you support MeinMMO: We receive a small commission from the provider at no extra cost to you.
But according to Gameswirtschaft, it is likely that more retailers will join – perhaps even today. Therefore, we recommend keeping an eye on the following retailer links for good measure:
However, it has not yet been confirmed that these retailers will take PS5 orders again today.
Update December 3, 06:30 AM: According to Gameswirtschaft.de, the following retailers are offering the PS5 for order again today, December 3rd (online only):
Euronics.de
MediaMarkt.at (Austrian representative)
Libro.at (Austrian retailer)
Otto.de
When exactly the orders will start has not yet been announced by the retailers. Only at Euronics they know: it should start in the course of the morning. Based on the experiences from the previous 3 order waves, we recommend checking the shops early (best right now) and frequently. According to Gameswirtschaft, they are once again dealing with a very limited quantity that is expected to be sold out within minutes.
We will also inform you as soon as new orders are possible.
[Original message]
This is the current situation regarding the availability of the PS5: The PlayStation 5 has been available for pre-order in 3 waves now. These were often chaotic and the PS5 sold out quickly there. And that is still the case with Sony’s new console at the moment.
When exactly does the 4th wave start? Sony did not reveal when exactly this will happen, but we are already in December, so there isn’t much time left to fulfill this promise in 2020. New orders should therefore become available sometime this month. However, whether they will still be delivered in 2020 is not known. Given previous experiences, it seems rather unlikely.
The following retailers will offer the PS5 again this year: But where will you be able to re-order the PS5? As the website gameswirtschaft.de reports, some German online retailers have already indicated upon inquiry that they will be offering new orders as part of the 4th wave. So far, these include
Expert
GameStop
Medimax
Otto
Gameswirtschaft also states that it is very likely that more retailers like Amazon will join as well.
MeinMMO will keep an eye on the situation for you and will update the list of retailers and the start date for the 4th wave as soon as there are new developments.
What about you? Do you count yourself among the lucky ones and are already gaming on the PS5? Are you still waiting for your order? Or do you hope that you can secure a PlayStation 5 during the 4th wave?
The “Team of the Group Stage” has been announced for FIFA 21. It will be released Friday in the TOTGS event. What can you expect?
When does the TOTGS event start? As EA Sports announced via Twitter, the “Team of the Group Stage” will be released on Friday, December 4th. Events usually start at 7:00 PM, although the Black Friday was an exception. So we initially expect a start at the classic time on Friday evening.
Thus, December 4th will be a quite busy day in FIFA 21. Because besides the TOTGS, there’s a bit more happening:
This could be featured in the event: There are currently no official details on what the TOTGS event will bring. However, the past years provide a good picture of what might come – as the event is familiar to players who have been around since FIFA 21.
The “Team of the Group Stage” notably brings the team of the group stage. So a team of players who have particularly impressed in the current Champions League season.
Thus, one can expect top players from top teams. This is evident from a look at the TOTGS from last year:
This is what the TOTGS looked like in FIFA 20
There were incredible players involved. Messi received a card, just like De Bruyne, Lewandowski, or Mbappé. Therefore, one does not necessarily have to expect filler players in the TOTGS, but rather really strong cards.
These cards are expected to be available in packs, though you will need a lot of luck. The special cards will also likely be found on the transfer market.
Last year, there were also SBCs and challenges that yielded specific TOTGS players. Similar content is expected this year as well. We will keep you updated with the exact information here at MeinMMO in the coming days!
The free-to-play action RPG Dauntless (PC, PS4/PS5, Xbox) hasn’t made headlines in recent months. However, it seems that the game is doing quite well. Developer Phoenix Labs announced that they are opening 2 new studios and hiring new employees.
What’s happening with Dauntless? In a press release, Phoenix Labs stated that two new developer studios are being established:
One is being established in Montreal and will be supervised by Andre Roy, who was previously part of a marketing firm for MMOs and involved in the development of Uplay at Ubisoft.
The second is being set up in Los Angeles and will be led by Omar Kendall, who worked as a Creative Manager at THQ and was part of Riot Games from 2013 to 2020.
The goal is to increase the number of employees at Phoenix Labs to 250 by the end of 2021. It is mentioned that 50 new employees were already hired in 2020.
Interestingly, the studio currently has only one game on the market: Dauntless. The action RPG, which is heavily reminiscent of Monster Hunter World, seems to be performing well.
25 million players and a big update this week
How is Dauntless doing? According to the press release, Dauntless currently has 25 million players. It is not mentioned whether these are active accounts or just created accounts. The latter is more likely, as the number has steadily and fairly evenly increased:
In May 2019, there were talks of 5 million players (via Twitter)
What’s behind the update? Dauntless brings with Reforged some new content, but also many revisions of existing content:
A new form of hunting is introduced with the Hunting Grounds. There are 17 revised and one completely new island where hunting can take place
The character development is being revised. With the “Path of the Slayer”, you will need to decide which direction you want to take your character during level ups. There is a main path and side paths. This also involves revisions of the XP system and reputation.
The TOTW 10 is here and this week there are some interesting cards in the Team of the Week. We look at the strongest new special cards in FIFA 21.
What is the TOTW? The Team of the Week appears every Wednesday evening and brings new special cards into the game. These are based on the real performances of players in world football. If a player has scored many goals, provided assists, or shone through other great actions, their chances of getting a TOTW card are good.
These Inform cards have improved values compared to a player’s standard version. They can enhance your team in Ultimate Team or earn you a decent amount of coins through trading on the transfer market.
The 3 strongest players in TOTW 10 stand for concentrated offense this week. All three attackers can impress with strong values.
Three attackers with strong values
The highest overall rating in the new TOTW belongs to Antoine Griezmann. The FC Barcelona forward scored a goal during the Catalans’ 4:0 win on the weekend and assisted another. A performance that is rewarded with a TOTW card and an upgrade to 88. Especially in terms of dribbling, shooting, and passing values, Griezmann is a weapon. He is a card for La Liga teams or French squads.
Lautaro Martinez assisted a goal during his team’s 3:0 win in Serie A on the weekend and also celebrated a victory against Gladbach in the Champions League. The new card stands at 86 and impresses with strong pace, good shooting, and dribbling. He is a player for your Serie A team.
Iago Aspas completes the trio with his new 86-rated card. This represents an upgrade of two overall points. Aspas also offers good values in pace, shooting, and dribbling. All three players could thus be a good reinforcement for the attack.
Do you mainly play in Ultimate Team with Bundesliga players? Then the TOTW also offers alternatives here, although this time the big top cards are missing.
These Bundesliga players are included
Boyata has earned an 81-rated card in central defense and has the greatest strength in defense and physicality. The pace is okay for center-backs, especially with a chemistry style. However, there are stronger options in the Bundesliga.
Neuhaus stands out with good dribbling and strong passes in midfield. However, he has disadvantages in defense and is not suitable as a destroyer.
Skhiri scored twice from a corner against Borussia Dortmund over the weekend and secured the 1. FC Köln an upset victory against BVB. Could he repeat this in the Weekend League? For that, the values would need to increase a bit: His top value is 82 in defense.
Weghorst has the highest overall rating among the Bundesliga quartet and can especially offer strong shooting and plenty of physicality. A real powerhouse, but overall quite slow.
Overall, the big stars in the Bundesliga are missing this time, but the TOTW offers exciting cards in other leagues. These include the top 3 mentioned above, but also Romagnoli (AC Milan) or Mendy (Manchester City). Raphinha from Leeds United also has exciting values, with high dribbling.
In League of Legends, numerous player transfers of professional teams have taken place in recent weeks. The most attention was drawn by the transfer of Martin “Rekkles” Larsson. He was also interviewed by the G2 Esports coach, Fabian “GrabbZ” Lohmann, who couldn’t help but take a jab at Fnatic.
What does GrabbZ say? In an interview with Invenglobal, the discussion revolved around the future of G2 Esports, the transfer of Rekkles to the team, and Luka “Perkz” Perković’s departure to Cloud 9. The coach answered the questions very openly and casually.
He admits that 2020 was not an easy year for the team, also not only because of Corona. According to GrabbZ, what the team missed the most was the fans and the excitement around them. They felt like they were sitting in a living room receiving trophies.
However, the interview also touched on current transfers in the teams. At this point, GrabbZ was joking around as well. You can also watch the interview on YouTube:

How does GrabbZ talk about Fnatic? In the interview, GrabbZ emphasizes that Rekkles is the perfect AD carry for G2 Esports:
We had long conversations together, and the way he sees the game fits quite well with us. No one worries about the in-game perspective; we all know he will be the best AD carry in Europe with us.
However, GrabbZ also sees the possibility that Rekkles could have difficulties fitting in with the other G2 players personally. After all, they joke around a lot, which doesn’t necessarily suit Rekkles. The coach particularly addresses Jankos:
It’s more about how he will fit into the team, but we also have our serious moments in training, where we are a bit calmer until Jankos eats sugar on game days and then goes out to make the whole team in a good mood.
I’m not worried because Wunder and I are quiet people, so Rekkles won’t be the first guy who doesn’t run around the house screaming all the time. I think it will fit perfectly.
The coach also emphasizes that players do not come to G2 just because they earn the most money there:
One thing that annoys me is the topic of money, that G2 should just buy the players, even though they come to us for the atmosphere, the environment, and because it pays off for them. That’s why they come to us.
Rekkles and Caps played together at Fnatic in 2018. In 2021, they are reunited, this time at G2 Esports.
What does he say about Fnatic? GrabbZ feels sympathy for G2’s fiercest rival, the team Fnatic. According to him, they are losing their cornerstone, and Rekkles is hard to replace.
The coach emphasizes that Rekkles is particularly a mentally strong player who can decide a game on his own in the late game. However, GrabbZ can’t help but make a side jab:
Sure, they [Fnatic] can come in second place, but there is a high chance they will collapse, especially if the first weeks don’t go well.
GrabbZ speculates that Rogue and MAD Lions will strongly compete for second place. He is confident about the first place. Even though the coach doesn’t expect a split of 18-0, he sees his team in first place.
GrabbZ believes that Cloud 9 will dominate the LCS, just because of Perkz:
Perkz will enhance the entire region. Starting with the solo queue, he will show that the NA “One Trick Ponies” actually need to adapt. He simply has this aura that makes everyone want to put in the effort.
I believe Cloud9 will be really, really strong. I also think he will immediately be the best mid laner in NA; there is no doubt about that.
David Beckham will appear this week in FIFA 21 and will come as an icon to Ultimate Team. Here you will find out how strong his cards will be.
When does David Beckham come? The English legend will appear this week: From December 4, Beckham will be available as an icon in Ultimate Team. There he will be found in packs, and presumably shortly thereafter on the transfer market. However, he is expected to be quite expensive, and the chances of icons in packs are low.
The midfielder will first come into play with his base and mid-icon card. His third card will then, like the other prime icons, be released at a later date. Nothing is known yet about a prime icon moments card.
All three icon cards of Beckham have now been officially presented. This is what they look like:
Beckham gets really strong cards in FIFA 21
This is what Beckham’s 87 card makes: The card is positioned in the central midfield and brings good stats there overall. The 78 pace is sufficient for the central midfield and can be enhanced with chemistry styles if necessary. He has good stats in dribbling and shooting, and particularly strong passing stats. Physically, the values are also decent, and the defensive stats are still above 70. The card should be perfect as a playmaker in central position.
This is what the 89 and 92 cards make: We summarize these cards here, as they are very similar in terms of the pure stats on the card. Both are positioned in the right midfield and bring an 80 pace with them, which is not ideal for a wing sprinter. However, both have very good stats in dribbling, passing, and shooting, and their physicality is good as well. Only defensively, both lag behind compared to the 87 card.
It is certain that Beckham will score fantastic free kicks – after all, he was well known for that during his career. By the way: Beckham will also come to Volta in the form of a Groundbreaker player.
Overall, both cards are very strong. Once Beckham is in the game, the in-game stats will show how much the two high cards differ. However, both are likely to be more suitable for a central role than on the wing. Here, one might have to adjust in the match.
In Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 5, each character has their own series of challenges. The first ones involve the Mandalorian, the legendary Star Wars bounty hunter.
No more traditional challenges! In Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 5, you earn rewards and experience points by completing missions related to the bounty hunter characters.
The first missions you need to complete are those of the Mandalorian, a character from the Star Wars universe. These quests give you the opportunity to take a look at all the new features of Season 5 while collecting XP for even more rewards.
Completing Bounty Hunts – The Search for the Mandalorian
In Season 5 of Fortnite’s Chapter 2, bounty hunting is a new feature that allows you as a bounty hunter to combine business with pleasure, as eliminating certain players brings you a lot of gold bars. With the new neutral NPCs on the map, contracts are negotiated.
They will appear at named or marked locations during each game. These markers are easily recognizable on your mini-map: they are marked by black and white bubbles.
This is what available contracts look like on the mini-map
How to Get a Contract?
Approach the NPC to interact with them
Spin the wheel until you reach the “Contract” field
Validate the contract
Once the contract is started, the name of a player will appear on your screen and a circular orange area on your map. The player you want to eliminate is located in this area. If you kill them in time, you will complete your contract. That’s life for bounty hunters.
With each successful contract, you earn a nice amount of gold bars that you can later spend on other NPCs! Note that some contractors will appear only in one spot, while others may vary their locations.

On Thursday, the finals of a major tournament in the shooter Valorant will start, the First Strike: North America. The 8 best teams compete for $100,000 in prize money. However, only two Twitch streamers are allowed to broadcast the tournament – this surprises some players.
In the 3 major regions North America, Europe, and South Korea, each competes for $100,000 in prize money.
The medium-sized regions like Russia, Turkey, Japan, or Brazil play for slightly less money, around $40,000.
The small regions like North Africa or Indonesia have to settle with about $10,000 in prize money.
For 4 days, the tournament is scheduled to take place – during which only 7 matches will be visible.
In the North American version of the tournament, there were already two preliminaries in November, each featuring 16 teams.
Now, on December 3 at 4:00 PM, the final round begins with 8 teams that qualified. Among the 8 teams are big names in e-sports such as 100 Thieves, TSM, T1, or FaZe Clan.
The tournament starts right away with quarterfinals, ensuring excitement. Those who win their first matches secure $10,000, those who reach the finals are guaranteed $20,000, and the winners get as much as $40,000. So it is worth it.
He is allowed to showcase the tournament: Ninja.
Only Ninja and Myth are allowed to show the tournament on Twitch
What about the streamers? Riot Games has announced that the tournament can only be broadcast by two streamers:
Ali “Myth” Kabban, number 5 on Twitch, is also allowed to broadcast it.
The two are the official “exclusive co-streamers” of the event.
The selection seems to follow the principle of performance: Myth and Ninja not only have huge channels with millions of followers, but they have also been the most watched channels for Valorant in the last 30 days.
Ninja has streamed Valorant for 132 hours in the last 30 days, while Myth has streamed for 72 hours.
This is how it is discussed: The news causes some surprise on reddit. People are indeed surprised by the choice of the two streamers:
Ninja is a “very polarizing figure” for many players.
Some admit that Myth is an extremely entertaining entertainer, but he clearly favors his own team, TSM – which makes it hard to watch. After all, TSM is one of the 8 teams participating.
Even if the two streamers do not cause outrage, one wonders why exactly these two were selected as co-streamers for the Valorant tournament and not their favorite streamer.
For instance, some posters mention that Josh “Sideshow” Wilkinson should have streamed it.
One user adds: The two streamers, who already earn millions of dollars, would receive even more for free, while the “small people” would be left empty-handed.
However, they comfort themselves with the fact that the official Valorant stream is also highly staffed. Those who are not fans of Myth or Ninja can simply watch that.
Riot Games proved in 2020 that they understand Twitch like hardly any other software company. The fundamental idea for Riot Games is to make things “exclusive” on Twitch and Valorant in particular, and to increase demand by restricting supply.
With a single idea, they perfectly utilized Twitch to promote their new shooter Valorant. Because those who wanted to get into the exclusive, closed beta had to watch Valorant on Twitch. This triggered a crazy gold rush and hype around the game:

From a simple addition, fishing became a central element in Fortnite. In Chapter 2 Season 5, new fish species with various effects have appeared.
Whether with explosives, rods, or harpoons, fishing has become essential in Fortnite. Since these delicacies have different effects when consumed, they have become priority targets that should be added to the inventory as quickly as possible.
They even hold a special place in the game, just like the Battle Pass. Enough to please those who want to collect them.
To access them, click on the “View Quests” tab in the lobby on the left, then on “Collection” and the fish symbol.
In Chapter 2 Season 5, there are a total of 40 fish.
New Fish
Not all fish can be found in the same location, and not all have the same rarity. Data miners have found new fish images in the game files, which can be seen below.
While the first fish may seem like a simple fish that regenerates HP, the second one is much more interesting as it is a mythical Rifty fish!
It will have the same properties as a Rift, namely teleporting you into the air with a glider. Undoubtedly, it will become the most coveted dish of the Battle Royale.
We can see that apart from these two species, the differences mainly lie in their appearance – which should vary the rarities depending on their scale.
In Fortnite you need to find the Razor Crest in Season 5 Chapter 2. We will show you where to find it and what you can do with it.
What kind of task is this? On December 2, Fortnite launched its Season 5 of Chapter 2. Included are new tasks that you can now solve. Some of them you complete to upgrade the armor of the new Mandalorian skin.
Where is the location? You can find the Razor Crest near the new Colossal Coliseum. This location is part of the major map changes of the season and is now new on the map.
In the following graphic, you can see the exact location of the Razor Crest:
Finding the Razor Crest
Here’s where you need to search: You will find the spaceship directly southeast of the new Coliseum. If you run south from there, you can hardly miss it. It is stuck in a pile of sand.
How to complete the challenge: To complete the challenge, you only need to visit the spaceship. However, be careful, as many players have to solve the same task at the moment. We at MeinMMO have tried it, and the Razor Crest was always crowded with trigger-happy players.
Additionally, the Mandalorian himself is around this location and patrolling. So if you want to land there at the beginning of a round and have no weapons yet, you are at the mercy of the enemy. So be sure to look around thoroughly beforehand.
Once you have visited the spaceship, the challenge should be marked as completed for you. If not, it may take a few seconds for the completion to be credited.
On the video platform TikTok, there is a channel that showcases nasty cheats in Call of Duty: Warzone. This channel sometimes collects over 200,000 likes. However, the viewers are not very positive.
This is what it is about: Cheaters in CoD Warzone are a real thorn in the side of fair players. They can see players through walls or aim directly at the opponent and hit every shot.
However, there seem to be fans of the cheaters as well. On the video platform TikTok, the channel “Waldo41” showcases exactly this type of content. He presents his nasty hacks to his viewers with which he easily wins rounds. He earns thousands of likes in return.
Nasty cheater gets thousands of likes on TikTok
Here you can see the cheater in action: The video with the most likes (206,000) has over 2.3 million views and shows one of his nasty actions:
Overall, the cheater is outrageously successful with his videos. He has several clips with over a million views and thousands of likes.
Through his cheats, he gets opponents marked in red that he can hit and opponents behind walls marked in yellow. In addition, there is an aim bot that takes over the aiming for him.
How do viewers react to this? In the comments, there are mainly negative voices. Many viewers ask the clip creator if he is proud of his achievement or what he gets out of ruining the fun for other players.
However, there also seems to be a quiet support. Otherwise, his clips would not receive so many likes.
What about the cheaters in the Warzone? In the Warzone, there is always criticism that too many cheaters are present. However, the developers are also doing a lot about it. They regularly ban large numbers of accounts – in October, for example, it was 200,000 cheaters.
Nevertheless, the cheaters constantly cause a stir. This also includes the TikTok channel of this cheater. However, there are more actions. They even show themselves on the streaming platform Twitch:
In Pokémon GO today, on December 2, the Raid Hour with Kyurem begins. We will show you the best counters for your teams and all the information you need to know for the event.
What is a Raid Hour? This event takes place once a week, on Wednesday evenings, in Pokémon GO. All trainers can participate as long as they have Raid Passes.
For one hour, the number of legendary raids in the game is significantly increased. You will find a Level 5 raid at almost every gym.
This week is all about the Pokémon Kyurem, which dominates the gyms during the event time. We will show you the important information about the boss and the counters against Kyurem.
Raid Hour on December 2 – What you need to know
When does it start? As usual, the Raid Hour will start again at 6:00 PM local time. The eggs will appear earlier at the gyms, so they can hatch on time. The event will end again at 7:00 PM.
How many trainers do you need? You can defeat Kyurem with two players at Level 40 using strong counters. However, if you want to effectively use the Raid Hour, larger groups are recommended. This way, the boss goes down faster and you can use the time to start the next raid.
Which team will you bring to the Raid Hour with Kyurem today?

In Destiny 2, the exotic sniper rifle Cloudstrike suddenly shows that it is one of the strongest weapons in the game. Even the new raid boss stands no chance against it.
This is the Exo weapon: Destiny 2: Beyond Light brought Guardians over 10 new exotic toys. One of them is the sniper rifle “Cloudstrike”.
So far, the elegant Arc sniper has been dismissed for your special slot as “Yeah, pretty nice” or simply overlooked – powerful Exotics like the sword “The Complaint” or the rocket launcher “Eyes of Tomorrow” have taken all the attention.
However, after extensive testing, even Destiny professionals are surprised at how strong the new sniper truly is.
MeinMMO shows you that Cloudstrike leaves all other special weapons behind and how it performs in PvE as well as PvP. If you are into high damage numbers, you will find them in this article as well.
What makes Cloudstrike so special? The exotic sniper rifle belongs to the 140 family. It shoots very quickly, but deals slightly less damage per bullet. The stats are impressive, and the handling and stability support the fast playstyle excellently.
The Exotic magic occurs in the two special perks:
Deadly Polarity: Precision kills cause a lightning strike at the location of the recently defeated enemy.
Stormbringer: Rapid precision hits create a storm at your target.
Think of it this way: You take down a target and everything within about 5 meters gets shocked. The Arc damage from the lightning is not insignificant, but corresponds to that of a critical sniper shot.
Normally, sniper rifles are not used to take down masses of enemies, but only against single, distant targets. However, due to its very high area damage, Cloudstrike is an exception.
Every normal enemy falls immediately, and even opposing Guardians are defeated instantly at full health. The second exotic perk surprises even experienced professionals with its effect.
That’s why Cloudstrike suddenly is the strongest sniper in Beyond Light
How strong the storm really is: Shortly after the Exotic’s release, the first reviews were published.
The testers assumed that the perk “Stormbringer” would unleash a storm after 3 rapid precision hits.
This deals good damage, and after 3 more hits, the lightning strikes again.
Thus, there should be a storm 2 times per magazine.
This turned out to be completely wrong. Every 3 shots trigger the storm. There is no reset after 3 hits. If you hit all 7 shots in rapid succession, you trigger the lightning rain 5 times.
The well-known Destiny expert Ehroar from the Redeem clan immediately published a video correction. The clip is titled “Cloudstrike is WAY BETTER than I thought…” (via YouTube).
In it, it is also noted that the exotic sniper currently outperforms all other special weapons in terms of damage.
Are you a real sniper? Then you’ll also be interested in the other two new snipers from Beyond Light:
This is how high the damage is: It gets really exciting when looking at the storm’s damage. It corresponds to more than a critical hit: In total, the lightning deal 1.6 times the damage of a precision hit.
1 magazine corresponds to 157,400 damage
The DPS value is therefore 61,400
Even the best “normal” special weapons can’t keep up – slug shotguns reach just over 41,000 DPS
Other sniper rifles range at 30,000 DPS
Only the exotic “The Fourth Horseman” can deal more damage in a burst than special weapons. However, the weapon is then empty and not really suitable for boss fights as you have to get extremely close to the enemy.
Note: To get the maximum damage out of Cloudstrike, you should release your 7 shots quickly, but wait a tiny moment between the shots. Otherwise, the game sometimes doesn’t register all hits correctly and you could miss a storm.
Cloudstrike takes down even the new raid boss in just one phase
This is how good the exotic is in the new raid: Against the final boss of the Deep Stone Crypt, Cloudstrike shows how high the damage is in practice. Since Taniks usually flies at a certain distance, popular power weapons like swords can’t do much against him.
5 people with Cloudstrike combined with a Divinity are enough to take down the villain in just one phase. There is hardly anything special to consider.
By shooting with Divinity, a large sphere appears under the boss, onto which you shoot wildly with the sniper (keep in mind the minimal pause).
Every hit counts as enhanced and critical – so you easily trigger the storm.
Briefly stomp Taniks, reload.
If you visit a Titan bubble in between or stand in a well (ideally with Lorelei Splendor Helm), the kill in just one damage phase is achievable by any team.
This is what it looks like in the video:

Cloudstrike has its moments in PvP, is a lot of fun, but does not belong to the elite. In the Crucible, the exotic sniper rifle has to take quite a beating. This is due to 3 factors:
What hardly matters in PvE is very important for many Guardians in PvP: Cloudstrike has a zoom of 50. This means you zoom in very closely, but lose sight of your surroundings. Previously, snipers with 35-40 zoom were the meta.
Despite the good handling, the exotic lacks perks. “Snapshot Sights” or “Quickdraw”. Combined with the high zoom, this makes the weapon feel a bit sluggish compared to other snipers against the fast Guardians.
Due to the recent changes to 140 sniper rifles, you now need 3 body shots for the kill – 1 critical hit is enough, however. This means the weapon punishes missing precision very harshly.
Nevertheless, the PvP crack Aztecross says:
Cloudstrike gives you [in PvP] such fear standing next to a friend.
Because if you send an opponent to the virtual afterlife with a critical hit, the lightning strike will take out all Guardians in the vicinity. You can take out hand-holding enemies or stacked campers in a double or triple pack.
It’s an extremely rewarding feeling and looks pretty cool. You feel like Thor, sending down his punishing lightning from the sky.
What do you think about the new Exotic? Did you also underestimate Cloudstrike and can it hold its own against strong competition?
The available storage space on the PlayStation 5 is already tight for some, and the SSD can fill up quite quickly. The “Other” folder takes up over 100 GB of valuable storage. What is it all about?
Here’s the deal regarding free storage on the PS5: The PlayStation 5 has an ultra-fast SSD. This offers 825 GB of storage, but only 667 GB is available for games and apps. It will be a bit more if you delete the pre-installed Astro’s Playroom on all PS5s.
The mysterious storage category “Other” – What is it all about?
This has been discovered: As Kotaku reports, some have noticed over time that the data storage of the PS5 has a category or folder that takes up significant storage space. It’s called “Other” and is one of the 4 categories into which the storage of the PlayStation 5 is divided:
Games and Apps
Media Gallery
Saved Data
Other
What is the problem with this folder? While the first 3 categories have a clear purpose for the storage used, it is not really clear for “Other”.
In the description on the PS5 website, it states
This storage space is reserved for system data that is needed for games and apps to function properly. The size of the reserved storage depends on how your console is used.
This folder can get quite large. According to Kotaku’s own experiences, it ranged from 40 to more than 125 GB – sometimes without any apparent reason.
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.
However, what the data stored in it is all about and what it is ultimately used for is currently not really clear.
We from MeinMMO checked as well – our “Other” folder is over 111 GB large.
This raises eyebrows: The size of this folder or category actually depends on how many and which games you have on your PS5. Generally speaking: When downloading new games, this folder increases. When you delete them, “Other” gets smaller.
However, the size changes are nonetheless quite confusing. The folder size should vary more significantly when downloading, deleting, or moving PS4 games than with PS5 titles. With PS4 titles, “Other” sometimes changed by more than 10 GB per game. However, with most PS5 games, according to Kotaku, it was never more than 1 GB.
Downloading 2 games – Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition and Sackboy: A Big Adventure even caused “Other” to shrink, while deleting 14 GB of recorded 4K videos caused the folder to grow by more than 4 GB – even though the intended category “Media Gallery” decreased by 14 GB as expected.
What caused even more confusion at Kotaku: After one of the editors had completely deleted all games and apps on his console, “Games and Apps” was only 1.1 GB large. Yet “Other” still claimed more than 16 GB of free storage. Another editor did the same, and “Other” was still 76 GB large for him.
In short: something is wrong here.
What does Sony say about this? According to its own words, Kotaku already requested a statement from Sony on November 16, 2020, but so far it has only said that they are looking into the matter.
How can you reduce “Other”? There aren’t really many options here. Essentially, the only effective way is to get an external hard drive or SSD and offload the PS4 games from the PS5 to it. The impact of PS5 games, however, with a GB here and another there can be neglected.
So while PS4 games may not fully benefit from the direct technical capabilities of the PS5, at least you have more space on your fast PS5 SSD.
In Fortnite: Battle Royale Season 5 Chapter 2 has begun! Accordingly, some changes have been made to the map. We at MeinMMO show you what’s new on the map and in the game world of Fortnite.
What’s happening in Fortnite: The start of Season 5 is finally here, and with it:
Some locations have now been added to the map, while others have received a styling and a name change. You can immediately see that a lot has changed on the map:
This is what the new map looks like in Season 5
4 new locations on the Fortnite map in Season 5
Apart from the Crystal Desert, which becomes immediately visible when looking at the map, there are 4 more locations that have been added.
Hunter’s Haven: This location is still known from Season 2 – Chapter 2 as a Shadow base. It was previously accessible. Later, the Sentinel graveyard was found there in Season 4.
Now, the spot has turned into a small “town,” with several buildings. This means: There are now many more opportunities to collect loot.
This is the new location Harvest’s Haven. Right behind it is the Crystal Desert and the Zero Point
Salty Towers: The location itself is not new but rather an old acquaintance that has been with us since the beginnings of Fortnite. So far, the town of Salty Springs hasn’t changed much, apart from a few adjustments for the respective season.
However, Salty Springs has now grown and is called Salty Towers. The town is larger and has merged with Tilted Towers, a location familiar from the early days. Even the tallest building from back then can be found here again.
Colossal Coliseum: In the center of the map, there is now a Crystal Desert, and there you will also find the new Coliseum. The large building is meant for players to compete against each other.
This new location will likely play a larger role in the story of Fortnite and the bounty quests. We will surely see what will develop from that.
Stealthy Stronghold: Here you will even find a whole jungle on the Fortnite map. Although it is surrounded by high walls, once you sneak in, you are surrounded by trees.
Interesting battles will surely arise here, as there are so many hiding spots. So if you ever wanted to visit a jungle, you should embark on your journey to Stealthy Stronghold.
What else has changed? In addition to the new large locations, there are other smaller changes on the map. Here’s what’s changed:
Risky Reels has now become a guarded location. There are now bots that will attack you as soon as they spot you.
Pleasant Park has returned after being taken over by Doctor Doom in the last season
The Battle Pass skin Mancake has also received a location dedicated to him
The new location seems to be the home of Mancake from the Battle Pass
Surely more locations will be discovered that have changed but are not immediately visible. We will update the article for you as more locations appear.
The map has undergone some changes with the start of Season 5. This is partly related to the bounty hunts. Other locations, such as the Crystal Desert, were ravaged following the live event. In the story of Fortnite, it got chaotic as the Zero Point was released again. If you want to see more about the story, you can find it in the trailer for Season 5.

The “Cyber Week” deals are currently running at MediaMarkt. We at MeinMMO have looked at gaming PCs and present you 5 devices on sale that you should check out.
This article presents you five PCs that are currently on sale at various retailers. We will take a look at what the devices can do and for whom they are recommended. First, we have a few tips you should consider when buying.
[toc]
Gaming PCs: Things to consider when buying
Here are some tips you should consider when buying a gaming PC. We will outline points regarding the graphics card, RAM, and processor. Keep these tips in mind if you want to buy a gaming PC or even build one yourself.
This is the graphics card you need for gaming
What you get for little money: Gaming PCs with a GTX 1650 fall into the lower performance range. If you are a casual gamer and do not care about the best graphics, you can look at these devices. The performance is more than enough for those who play Fortnite and games with low graphical requirements. If you want more, you will already be hitting your limits here.
For a slightly larger budget: With the GTX 1660 Ti and faster, you can play almost all modern titles on high settings. You will also benefit from higher FPS numbers – if your screen allows it.
Future-proof performance: The Super variants of the RTX 2060, RTX 2070, and RTX 2080 provide you with sufficient performance for maximum details and high frame rates. The gaming PCs here also cost accordingly more.
What else you should consider: Graphics cards should have at least 6 GB of video memory. 4 GB is too little in the long run. 8 GB is currently the best investment without a large additional cost.
What to consider regarding the processor
Minimum: Pure quad-core processors without virtual core doubling generally offer enough performance but may limit your graphics card in the long run. A gaming CPU should not have less than four cores.
Recommended: Recommended gaming processors have at least 4 cores and can process 8 threads thanks to virtual core doubling. Even better are processors with 6 cores for 12 threads. An example would be the Ryzen 5 3600, which represents a typical mid-range gaming CPU.
What to stay away from: In general, you should not buy gaming PCs that use outdated Intel architecture up to the 7000 series or AMD FX processors. While they offer enough performance, they rely on old chipsets and outdated RAM, where replacement parts are now difficult to obtain. However, these should not be found in modern gaming pre-built PCs.
What else you should consider: With the Ryzen 5000, AMD released a CPU in mid-November that can easily compete with Intel.
If you mainly game in WQHD or UHD, the graphics card is significantly more relevant than your processor.
This much RAM should be in the gaming PC
Minimum limit: 8 GB is already tight for a modern PC system. If you want to play with the computer, you should buy a PC with 16 GB or plan a budget to upgrade the RAM. Motherboards in modern gaming PCs usually have no problem with this.
Recommended: 16 GB of RAM is now the minimum if you want to game regularly. More is certainly not wrong. In the long run, you should aim for 16 GB or more of RAM.
Future-proof: If you want to be prepared for the future, you should aim for at least 32 GB of RAM.
HP Pavilion Gaming TG01-1600ng
What the device offers: The gaming PC from HP features a modern Intel processor with the i5-10400F. The PC also comes with 16 GB of RAM and a GeForce GTX 1660 Ti: This is fast enough for Full HD with maximum details and has reserves for WQHD. A downside is the video memory. It is only 6 GB large, which could become tight in the long run.
Who is the device suitable for? If you mainly want to game in Full HD or are also generally interested in WQHD with lower details, then you should take a look at this PC. If you want to game in WQHD in the long run, you should look for a PC with a stronger graphics card.
Pro
GeForce GTX 1660 Ti provides enough performance for Full HD and partially WQHD
16 GB of RAM
two hard drives (HDD 1TB and SSD 512 GB)
Windows 10 included
Contra
GeForce GTX 1660 Ti offers only 6 GB of video memory
Here you can buy the PC: The gaming PC currently costs 827.61 € (973.81 €), you save 15 %.
