Worms Rumble (PS4 and PS5)
What is Worms Rumble? The cult game series Worms is known for its tactical, turn-based battles where teams of worms fight against each other. They are heavily armed to the teeth. However, with Worms Rumble, the popular series now takes a new direction, delivering real-time battles focusing on just one worm – including cross-play between PC and consoles with up to 32 players.
You choose from an arsenal of iconic weapons like a bazooka or shotgun and engage in real-time battles with other players in modes like Deathmatch (Solo) or Last Worm/Squad Standing (essentially Battle Royale), participate in challenges, or experience seasonal events – alone or in teams. You are no longer controlling a team but a single worm, which you can level up and extensively customize. Additionally, the worms now also have new movement abilities. They can roll or jump up walls and are generally faster.

What exactly is the PS Plus Collection? The PS Plus Collection is essentially a collection of 20 top titles that were released during the PS4 era.
All PS5 owners with an active PS Plus subscription can download this game collection at no additional cost since the launch of PlayStation 5 and enjoy it through the backward compatibility of the new Sony console.
The requirement: Basically, you only need one thing – an active subscription to PlayStation Plus, a paid service from Sony Interactive Entertainment.
The membership costs about €60 per year – depending on the duration of the subscription. As a member, you usually receive 2 PS Plus games monthly – available for download in the PS Store at no additional cost. On top of that, you benefit from several other advantages.
No matter how long you think about it, Cyberpunk 2077 and World of Warcraft have hardly anything in common. A crossover of both games sounds absurd, and few could imagine that it could actually look good. Luckily, there is someone who belongs to those “few” and has simply created this in a cool trailer.
What you can see: The video shows the trailer of Cyberpunk 2077 from 2018. At that time, it was presented at E3. However, only the audio track was used; the entire visuals of the trailer were recreated with the characters from World of Warcraft. Whether it’s elves in tight clothing with neon tattoos or stocky orcs with rocket launchers and cyber eyes – everything found a place in the trailer:

Which locations were used? Many locations seem to have been manually built, and many of the characters were edited afterward to be equipped with technical devices or tattoos. However, some environments players may recognize, as parts of the supposed “Night City” are simply taken from Mechagon. Other parts come from the goblin starting area or were even created completely anew.
It’s amazing to see how quickly one gets used to this mixed style. One almost begins to dream and imagines that one day the goblin and gnome cities in World of Warcraft could look like this.
Many details that impress: If you look closely at the trailer, you’ll find an extreme number of references and details from other games and media. For example, you can see the spray logo “Well played” on a wall, which comes from Hearthstone. Just next to it, you can see a character from the anime “Neon Genesis Evangelion,” which also took place in a dystopian future.
Hearthstone and Neon Genesis Evangelion in one image.
Can such a setting work? By the way, this idea of a mixed setting is not entirely new. If one were to mix World of Warcraft with Cyberpunk 2077, one would have quite exactly the world of Shadowrun.
It is a futuristic game world where everything is governed by large corporations, while magic with elves, trolls, and dragons has also entered the world.
An apparently insane combination that can actually work well – as the movie “Bright” proved a few years ago.
What do you think of this trailer? A cool idea or are these two games that just shouldn’t be mixed?
The creators of the sex game Subverse searched for an influencer on YouTube to collaborate with them. They found Arch Warhammer: the strategy YouTuber is considered far-right. This led to difficulties.
What kind of game is Subverse? The page Kotaku calls “Subverse” one of the “most anticipated adult games of all time”.
Subverse is being developed by FOW Interactive for PC: it is a “Tactical RPG Shoot’em Up”. The game was funded through Kickstarter, where it raised 1.67 million pounds, which is about 1.86 million euros. This makes it the most successful “adult game” ever funded on Kickstarter.
On Kickstarter, the developers advertise that in Subverse players can travel through a fully explorable galaxy and are the captain of their own spaceship. They are supposed to recruit their crew from the “sexiest and deadliest waifus in the galaxy”. By waifus, they mean sexually attractive ladies in the world of anime.
The trailer for Subverse winks and hints that it is something like a sex parody of Mass Effect. The legendary RPG series Mass Effect from BioWare offered players the option to enter into romantic and sexual relationships with crew members. Apparently, Subverse wants to delve deeper into this aspect. Knick Knack.
This is the controversy: To promote the game, the studio teamed up with the YouTuber “Arch Warhammer”. He has 234,000 subscribers on the platform and with his channel focus on “Warhammer/Total War”, he exactly addresses the tactical RPG community that Subverse aims at.
The YouTuber created a nearly 50-minute video showcasing an “exclusive first look” at Subverse.
The video itself is not the problem, but the YouTuber Arch Warhammer himself. He actually comes from the Warhammer 40k community and is considered someone who holds extremely right-wing views. He is so controversial that the developers of Warhammer, Games Workshop, have warned partner companies against working with him (via twitter).
Shortly after the video was released, there were already complaints to the developers of Subverse about who they were collaborating with.
The developers of Subverse then issued a statement. They said they chose Arch Warhammer because of the quality of his content, his community, and his number of subscribers.
And apparently, they had no great selection either:
As a company that produces pornography, it is very difficult for us to get such an opportunity. We were happy when we found someone who could help us. At that time, we were not aware that he had made racist and other controversial statements.
Statement from FOW in Discord
After the statement, the comments got even worse. Now, fans of Arch Warhammer and other “right-wing YouTubers” felt attacked: the leftists supposedly do not appreciate “virtual flesh and breasts.”
Developer team wants to end the discussion
So there was another statement from the developers. Now they wanted nothing to do with politics. They then stated:
Ultimately, we are just tit-software developers, but suddenly we are in the middle of a political debate.
2nd Statement from FOW
Subverse would have no political affiliation, it would be a game that everyone should play.
The current status is that Subverse will leave Arch Warhammer’s video up but makes it clear that they do not agree with “some of his comments from the past.” Now they should just end the topic and do not want to hear about it anymore.
Let’s see how well that works.
At the moment, it looks like Subverse has achieved a goal and gained attention with the action, while somewhat alienating both sides of the political spectrum.
A sex game that made positive headlines.
Sex games or “adult games” are indeed a prominent topic in the gaming world, even if they are rarely reported on. In February 2020, when the Corona pandemic was already raging in China, an adult game drew attention. The hentai game Mirror wanted to help contain the pandemic:
The Call of Duty: Warzone is known for its insane kill records and the coveted trophy for the longest sniper kill keeps moving forward. The YouTube channel “DefendTheHouse” has set the bar at over 3,000 meters.
What’s going on here? Call of Duty: Warzone has been on the market for almost 9 months, giving players enough time to test the limits of the game. However, dedicated Warzone soldiers are not deterred from experimenting further to see if those limits can be pushed.
Thanks to the new private matches in Warzone, such tests are now much more predictable for players, streamers, and YouTubers than they were a few months ago. With enough players, one can start their own lobby and work almost under “laboratory conditions”.
This is also what the Warzone scientists from the YouTube channel “DefendTheHouse” have done. Since the release of Warzone, the channel has published several “Mythbuster videos” where the two hobby researchers have tested the mechanics of the Battle Royale. Now it was time for the longest sniper shot.
New Sniper Record in Warzone is 3,068.07 Meters
How does that look? Their latest paper is titled “World Record Sniper Shot in Warzone” and is an English video in which the two channel operators demonstrate that you can still get kills in Warzone from a distance of 3 kilometers:

The two had tried to find the last boundary for hits in Warzone in an earlier video. However, they failed because they could only shoot at vehicles and not at real opponents. When shooting at vehicles, the limit is just under 2,500 meters.
The record to beat was previously at 2,459 meters and even happened during an ongoing cash drop round. Here, the Warzone mythbusters added a solid 550 meters and ended up with a staggering 3,068.07 meters.
What else have the guys investigated? Through the private matches, the two crazy Warzone scientists can now push even further to the limits. No mechanic seems safe from their judgment:
Can you stop the loot train?
Up to what distance can you get kills with rockets?
Check out their YouTube playlist on Warzone myths for more. If you want to learn more about the mechanics in Warzone, these two Battle Royale researchers provide strong content for you.
Recently, a streamer broke another record that also sets new standards. The skilled Warzone soldier and Twitch streamer “Aydan” set a new record with 60 kills in a match. MeinMMO shows you how he broke the record.

A lawsuit has been filed in the USA against Electronic Arts regarding the FIFA 21 series. The lawsuit addresses contentious issues such as the long-discussed momentum: EA is accused of manipulating difficulty levels in FIFA and the outcomes of matches. The plaintiffs believe that such mechanics lead to more pack purchases in FIFA 21.
This is the case: In the USA, three players filed a lawsuit in a district court in California against Electronic Arts. Several EA Sports games are addressed in this lawsuit:
The Madden NFL games 17 to 21
The NHL games 17 to 21
And the FIFA games – also parts 17 to 21
The focus is primarily on the Ultimate Team modes in the games, where players must build the strongest team possible. In FIFA 21, players can obtain players on the transfer market through tasks and other activities – but primarily from packs. The chances of pulling a strong player here are not particularly high.
Packs can be purchased with the coins earned in-game, but also with real money in the form of FIFA Points.
The topic of packs in FIFA 21 repeatedly causes controversy:
Primarily, the lawsuit focuses on the issues that players have been raising for years: mechanics that allegedly dynamically adjust the difficulty in the game.
Momentum, Scripting, and DDA as central points of the lawsuit
The lawsuit accuses EA of using mechanics like “Dynamic Difficulty Adjustment” (DDA) or “Adaptive Difficulty” without the majority of players’ knowledge and without disclosure: “At least some of these technologies use heuristic predictions and interventions to adaptively change the difficulty of games and influence or even dictate outcomes, thereby engaging players more deeply,” the plaintiffs accuse EA.
The plaintiffs aim to clarify several questions, such as: “Whether EA uses DDA, Adaptive Difficulty, or other mechanisms for adjusting difficulty (like scripting, throttling, or momentum) in its EA Sports games;”
They are also requesting disclosure on whether such mechanics are used in FUT, whether this influences match outcomes, and whether EA should have disclosed such a mechanism clearly.
This is the effect it should have on packs: The plaintiffs accuse EA in their lawsuit that such mechanics affect players who buy packs. They would have an influence on the game that goes beyond the stats of the players in their own team – making players from packs less valuable:
This is a self-reinforcing cycle that benefits EA to the detriment of EA Sports players, as the difficulty adjustment mechanisms lead players to believe their teams are not as good as they actually are, which causes them to purchase additional player packs in the hope of obtaining better players and being more competitive.
Excerpt from the lawsuit (translated from English)
Thus, players are led to buy more and more packs, according to the plaintiffs. According to them, the game violates California consumer protection laws, engages in false advertising, and leads to unjust enrichment.
This is EA’s response: In a brief statement to GamesIndustry.biz, an EA representative said: “We believe the claims are baseless and misrepresent our games, and we will defend ourselves.” The lawsuit was filed in November but has yet to be brought to court.
In addition to the discussion about momentum, another critical issue concerning FIFA 21 is currently being discussed: Zlatan Ibrahimovic raised the question on Twitter regarding player representation in FIFA 21 and whether it is even legal. Since then, a player advisor has continued this discussion.

On December 1st, the new prayers will be released in Genshin Impact. These will bring two new characters to the game. In this post, we introduce Zhongli in more detail and reveal his abilities and how you can obtain him.
Who is Zhongli? The new character is likely familiar to fans of Genshin Impact. He has already played a role in the story around Liyue and impressed with his likeable nature. He is reserved and philosophical, which is well received by many on reddit and in our comments.
We already know the following about the playable character Zhongli:
Element: Geo
Rarity: 5 stars
Weapon: Polearm
Occupation: Director of the funeral service in Liyue
Additionally, the developers released a short character demo to introduce him in more detail:

What can Zhongli do exactly? On the website Honey Impact, the attributes and abilities of the character have already been gathered through data mining:
Normal Attack: Performs up to 6 spear stabs
Charged Attack: Consumes a portion of stamina to jump forward, leaving spears along the jump
Elemental Skill – Press: Uses Geo power to create a stone pillar. This deals Geo damage to nearby enemies and can be used to block attacks
Elemental Skills – Hold: Creates an explosion that deals AoE damage and generates a shield of jade that scales with Zhongli’s max HP
Elemental Burst: Summons a meteor to fall to the ground, causing Geo AoE damage
The new prayer that will be released on December 1st.
The chance of obtaining a 5-star character is typically 0.6%, but increases the more prayers you open. If you obtain a 5-star character, there is a 50% chance it will be Zhongli the first time and a 100% chance the second time. We explain more about the gacha system in our FAQ.
You will also have an increased chance of obtaining Xinyan, Razor, and Chongyun from the prayer. The last two rank in the good midfield of our tier list.
However, you should hurry, as the prayer will be removed on December 22nd at 14:59. Unlike the character Xinyan, Zhongli will not be added to the standard prayer.
In Pokémon GO the season “A Festive Season” has started. It is the first season to come into the game. We show you what changes have occurred as a result.
This is what happened: On December 1st at 8:00 AM, the first season in Pokémon GO started. It is called “A Festive Season” and changes quite a bit in Pokémon GO.
There are new spawns, raids, and further adjustments that change the game. We give you an overview of all the changes here.
Spawns and Changes for Season 1
These are the seasonal spawns: The festive season brings mainly winter spawns here in Europe. The following are boosted:
Sesokitz (Winter Form)
Alolan Sandshrew
Alolan Vulpix
Jurob
Lapras
Teddiursa
In general, there seem to be significantly more of the same spawns. We at MeinMMO have already seen particularly many Picochilla, Smogon, Unratütox, Taubsi, and Hornliu. They have already been quite catchable, but now it seems that the spawn rate has increased again.
This regional Pokémon is new in Germany: First German trainers report that Furnifraß appears in their city. The regional Pokémon originally appears in the Western Hemisphere – now it seems to have swapped regions with Fermicula.
This has changed with buddy Pokémon: There was a small change with your buddy’s hearts. You can now earn 3 hearts when battling with your buddy, so you can earn a total of 12 hearts, or even 24 hearts when in an excited state.
This has changed with the berries: The silver Nanab Berry has been boosted. It now gives 7 candies per catch, instead of just 6.
Additionally, the Nanab Berry has been boosted. It now causes the Pokémon to not move at all. Previously, there were occasional movements possible.
This quest has now been introduced worldwide: The task “Land 3 outstanding throws in a row” for a Kaumalat is now available worldwide. Previously, this task was only available in Australia, but now every player can receive a Kaumalat from the quest.
What about new raids? So far, there are not many confirmed raids from players. However, they could also change on December 1st at 10:00 PM, as Kyurem comes to the raids then.
A new raid boss is confirmed: Psiau now appears in level 1 raids and can be challenged. It is a new Pokémon from the 6th generation.
What about level 50? The new maximum level is also live in Pokémon GO! You can now climb 10 more levels. All steps for this are shown here:

Charging Xbox Controllers and Saving Power
Can you charge Xbox controllers? In principle, you can charge the Xbox controller. However, the requirement is that there are rechargeable batteries in the controller. This does not work with regular batteries. You can charge the battery either with a charging station, a USB cable from the console, or at the wall socket.
You connect the controller to the Xbox One or Series X with the USB cable
Then you start your console and the controller will charge
You can then turn off the console again. It is important that you must have had the console switched on at the beginning of the charging process.
How long does it take to charge an Xbox controller? The length of time your controller needs to charge depends entirely on the size of the installed battery. The official battery pack from Microsoft for the Xbox controller takes 5 to 6 hours to fully charge.
How to turn off an Xbox controller?
Here’s how: If you turn off your console and want to save power, you should also turn off your controller. It’s quite simple. Press the Xbox button, which is located at the top of the Xbox controller, and hold this button for a few seconds. Then the controller will turn off.
Xbox Controller: Rechargeable Batteries or Batteries?
Here’s why you should opt for rechargeable batteries: For controllers and other devices that you use frequently, you should go for rechargeable batteries. Because in this case: If you have to change the batteries several times a month, it makes sense to use rechargeable batteries. For the environment, rechargeable batteries are also the better choice in the long run.
When are batteries useful? Batteries, on the other hand, are useful when you use a device infrequently or it consumes little power. This applies to watches or remote controls and many small devices that consume little power. Because batteries have less self-discharge than rechargeable batteries.
What to look for when buying batteries: For your Xbox controller, you will need AA batteries/rechargeable batteries. You should also pay attention to the abbreviation LR6. Batteries with the designation R6 should be avoided.
What does LR6 mean on batteries? The abbreviation LR6 hides the designation for alkaline AA batteries. Zinc-carbon batteries are marked with R6. However, these are rarely sold anymore. LR6 batteries are significantly more resistant and last longer.
Additional accessories for the Xbox Series X|S: Are you looking for other accessories for your new Xbox Series X or S besides rechargeable batteries and charging stations? Then check out this article, where we present the best accessories for your Xbox Series X|S.

How successful is Garena Free Fire? The shooter was released in beta back in September 2017. The big success came in 2019 when the game became the most downloaded game in the world. It also won the award for “Best Popular Voted Game” in the Google Play Store in 2019. According to Wikipedia, over 1 billion US dollars were made worldwide with the app by November 2019.
In 2020, the publisher reported that Garena Free Fire recorded more than 100 million concurrent players as a new user record in Q2 2020.
A large portion of these users, according to Dexerto, come from Asia and Latin America. The game, which runs well on weaker smartphones and requires little storage space, is particularly popular there. In countries like Thailand and Brazil, there is also a thriving esports scene for Free Fire according to Sportskeeda.
The game also supports regional holidays, such as Carnival in Brazil or certain festivals in Thailand with special offers in the cash shop.
Here’s why you should try it here too: Garena Free Fire plays casually, fast, and intuitively. The entire game was specifically designed to capture the rapid action and excitement of a battle royale game on a smartphone.
However, to prevent the game from overloading your phone, it has lower requirements compared to PUBG, for example, and also requires less storage space. Free Fire only needs 1 GB RAM and storage. For comparison: PUBG Mobile needs 2 GB RAM and 1.5 GB storage, while Fortnite only runs properly from 3 GB RAM and consumes a hefty 2 GB storage.
By the way, PUBG Mobile is currently trying to circumvent the ban in India:
Rounds last a maximum of 10 minutes, after which the death zone has overwhelmed everything. This makes Garena Free Fire ideal for quick games in between. However, if you want to play more intensely, you can play tons of games per day and celebrate successes.
The game also features a hero system. You don’t just play unnamed avatars, but you can choose from various characters with their own abilities. For example, one heroine can run faster with shotguns while another guy deals more damage when his hit points go down.
In the cash shop, you can buy, among other things, skins for weapons that offer slight advantages.
Mobile games like Garena Free Fire are becoming increasingly popular. This greatly annoys the controversial streamer DrDisrespect. For him, mobile gamers are not real gamers. Therefore, he has now been challenged to a duel in mobile shooters. Read here what it’s all about.

While we in Destiny 2 are still struggling against the new raid bosses from the Deep Stone Crypt, some Guardians are outdoing each other with absurd kill challenges. MeinMMO shows you here with video evidence that the bosses have been defeated without weapon force and completely alone.
While the prospect of new and powerful weapons drives players into the Deep Stone Crypt, the Destiny professionals have entirely different motivations. Running out of content, they want to outdo each other with absurd challenges and daredevil maneuvers that many “normal” Guardians could hardly pull off.
MeinMMO presents you here with 2 achievements that showcase some impressive feats from the new raid of Beyond Light.
Hardest boss of the Deep Stone Crypt lost the 1vs1 duel
In Destiny 2, raids are designed so that a team of 6 players has to face the challenge or should ideally do so. Because the boss fight against Atraks-1 and the entire encounter have now been soloed.
Which solo player was at work? The raid boss Atraks-1 lost the duel against Slayerage.
Although he is not the final boss, players consistently curse him as the hardest encounter in the whole Deep Stone Crypt. Because you fight on Earth and simultaneously in space against multiple copies of the boss, have to manage 2 buffs and one debuff, and fend off a wipe mechanic in just a few seconds.
Check out the last seconds of Atraks-1 here in the video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVPk8Yr1KNs
This is how Slayerage did it:
The professional plays a Dawnblade Warlock (Heavenly Alignment) at power level 1,266.
He uses a kinetic auto rifle and a grenade launcher to fend off the hordes of enemies.
He mostly plays with the Agent buff – with that, he is able to shoot the deadly debuff off his head via “Ricochet”.
To find out which copy of the boss is the right one, he uses a little trick and a fair amount of luck: minimal damage reveals which Atraks-1 you must attack.
But it has to be quick – if you take too much time or deal too much damage to the wrong one, it results in a wipe.
In the final phase, he uses the scanner buff to quickly find the right boss.
After 10 hours of continuous streaming, it was finally time: When he succeeds at the feat, his chat on Twitch goes completely wild. Because the solo kill is the result of a stream lasting over 10 hours (via Twitch). Just the day before, Slayerage had unsuccessfully tried to defeat Atraks-1 solo.
A team has defeated the final raid boss completely without weapon force
Destiny 2 is a loot shooter. The hunt for the strongest weapon, the god roll, and the rarest exotic is the carrot in front of the noses of many guardians. And especially in the raids, players need all their firepower.
This raid boss was taken down in a “pacifistic” way: It is all the more astonishing that the final raid boss Taniks was defeated by a team that completely refrained from using firearms. Only with nice words, Taniks did not give up easily, so all abilities and melee attacks could be used.
Check out here how the final boss of the Deep Stone Crypt receives his weapon-less beating:

Most players chose the Stormcaller Warlock (Storm’s Control).
Thanks to his super “Chaos Reach,” good boss damage is possible, with the Rift offering healing for the team, and the “Ball Lightning” allows at least some distance damage.
By skillfully switching the exotics “Aeon Soul” and the “Geomag Stabilizers“, the abilities quickly gain energy.
A Hunter provides invisibility and increases damage with his arrow. Thus, the team foregoes Divinity, which is otherwise present at almost all Guardians.
Otherwise, the team plays the encounter normally – they just take longer to deal with the adds.
If you think this is only a game of patience, you are wrong. Because raid bosses are in a hurry and go into “Enrage” after a certain time. If players take too long or deal insufficient damage, a wipe follows.
The “Enrage” warning also appears in the video. Under pressure, the Guardians manage to take down Taniks using only their abilities. The jubilation is correspondingly great.
Have you already visited the new raid in the Deep Stone Crypt? Do you drop your jaw at the insane challenges that some Guardians set for themselves or do you consider it digital boasting?
In Pokémon GO there are new developments regarding regional Pokémon. Furnifraß is now appearing in Germany and can be caught here for the first time outside of events.
What’s new: In Pokémon GO the big update “GO Beyond” has launched and there is a big surprise with the regional Pokémon. Two monsters seem to have switched regions.
Furnifraß is now available in Germany, while Fermicula is no longer appearing. You can secure the PokéDex entry for Furnifraß.
Furnifraß in Germany – What you need to know
What is Furnifraß? This Pokémon previously appeared in the western hemisphere. Regions like North and South America had the chance to encounter this monster.
In Germany, Fermicula, the Ant Pokémon, was available instead. It appeared throughout the eastern hemisphere.
Now the regions have switched. Initial trainers from Germany report that they have been able to catch Furnifraß.
The shiny Furnifraß is significantly darker.
Is there a Shiny Furnifraß? Yes, because Furnifraß is an old acquaintance, at least for trainers who had a ticket for the GO Fest 2020. The event released the shiny form and made it available to ticket holders in Germany.
Now you can catch Shiny Furnifraß outside of the event as well in Germany. However, it remains to be seen how rare Furnifraß actually is. Fermicula was among the rarer Pokémon here.
Are there any other changes with the regionals? So far, everything seems normal. No trainer has reported regional Pokémon that are not appearing in their usual regions.
If you want an overview of all regional Pokémon and their locations, you can check here:
In Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War brings you the best weapon doesn’t help if you don’t hit anything. Therefore, YouTuber and CoD expert TheXclusiveAce has created an aim tutorial that will help you learn to aim better. How it works, you can find out here on MeinMMO.
What kind of training is this? As already shown in the training videos for aiming in multiplayer of Modern Warfare or Warzone, CoD expert and YouTuber TheXclusiveAce has now created an aim training for CoD Cold War as well. It’s mainly about:
Improving your aim, including for headshots
Movement
Feeling for the weapon
The goal of the training is to train your reflexes so that aiming and reacting correctly becomes almost automatic, making you a better player.
We have embedded Ace’s related video for you here:

These are the settings for the training: To train undisturbed, you should start a “Custom Game” in the multiplayer of CoD Cold War. Use the new map Nuketown ’84 in the “Free for All” mode. The map offers short paths and constant action.
Next, you should make the following settings in the options:
Time limit: Unlimited
Score limit: Unlimited
Intro sequence: Off
Timer before the game: 5 seconds
Time before the round: Disabled
Minimap: Constant
Health: 150
Then set the maximum number of bots with the difficulty “Recruit” as opponents in “Bots and Players”. According to Ace, the bots are just targets and should not pose any danger or distract you from your training.
This weapon should you use: For this training, you can use any weapon, but Ace recommends a setup with the assault rifle Krig 6.
You can equip the weapon in your private game as you like. But be sure to take the “Fast Fire 50-Round Magazine” because you can shoot more and reload very quickly. Everything aims to maintain the “flow” and maximize the training effect. Also, take the perk “Looter’s” so you won’t run out of ammo.
How to train properly
Once the setup is ready, start the round and shoot bots until you have enough. To improve your aim, you should follow these tips:
Always aim at chest height; recoil often leads to headshots
Don’t wait for opponents; move and actively seek them out
Don’t shoot wildly, even though it may be tempting with the stupid bots. Instead, focus on precise fire to quickly kill enemies.
Especially the last point shouldn’t be underestimated. Once you notice that you’re aiming poorly, take a step back and practice that again. Only then will the training effect be optimally achieved through constant repetition.
Further helpful tips for newcomers to Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War concern the optimal loadout. To ensure that you start as a newcomer with a strong weapon and setup, we have put together a good loadout for beginners in the multiplayer of CoD Cold War. Together with the aiming guide here, you should rack up some decent kills.

In Fortnite: Battle Royale today, on December 1st, the live event of Season 4 Chapter 2 starts. Players will face the villain Galactus. We will show you what you need to know about the live event with Galactus.
Update 9:08 PM: The special mode for the live event will appear in the game at 9:30 PM. If you haven’t logged in to Fortnite yet, you should do so now to avoid getting in the queue.
Update December 1st 10:20 AM: We have updated the article for you. The event starts in a few hours. If Epic announces anything else or makes changes, we will continue to update this article for you.
When is the live event? It is already known on which day the live event of Season 14 will take place. Today, Tuesday, December 1st, it is happening. Players only have to wait a few hours until it finally starts.
What time does the live event start? The time for the event with Galactus is also already set. On December 1st, the live event will start at 10:00 PM German time. This is what the countdown in the game shows, counting down to the event.
However, be aware that there may be long queues when logging in. You should be ready 1 hour before the live event. The special mode for the event will then be available 30 minutes beforehand so that you can secure your spot.
What can we expect in the live event? It is already known that Galactus, the world devourer, is on his way to the Fortnite Island. Players will face off against the villain in combat. However, what role the Marvel superheroes will play is still unclear.
Galactus is on his way to cause chaos in the Fortnite world
How can you participate in the live event?
If you want to participate in the live event of Season 14, you must first start the game normally.
There you will find a special mode that is created specifically for the event. Be sure to be ready one hour beforehand to avoid long queues. 30 minutes beforehand you should be able to join the mode.
The queues could potentially lead to you not being able to participate in the event or missing parts of it, as spots are limited. This was also the case in the last live event “The Device” and that caused record numbers on Twitch as players had to watch on streamers’ channels.

On November 30, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War received a small update on the servers, adjusting weapon XP. Additionally, a nasty glitch on the cult map Nuketown will disappear.
How and where can I now get more weapon XP? From now on and everywhere! Treyarch published the English patch notes for the small update from November 30 and explains that now you can earn more experience points for your weapons in both multiplayer and the zombie mode of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War:
From today on, you will level up your weapons faster and unlock attachments quicker than at the previous normal rate. This applies to both: MP and Zombies.
Treyarch in the update blog
The developers do not go into detail about how they adjusted the rate. However, many players are likely to welcome the change, as it usually takes a long time to get a weapon to the maximum level. With the last update, you could already earn more XP, but only in a specific mode.
The update also offers several other minor changes. You can find the details here on MeinMMO.
Do I need to download anything? The patch is a small in-game update and installs itself when you start Cold War. It should only take a few moments and does not require any download or installation from your side.
What else has changed with the update? The other fixes in the patch also concern weapon XP and a nasty glitch on Nuketown:
A problem was fixed that caused you to receive too little weapon XP in solo matches and in higher rounds in zombie mode
The patch also fixed a weapon XP issue with napalm ammunition in zombie mode
A section on the Nuketown map was closed that allowed players to survive outside the play area
What’s next for Cold War? In just over a week, the first season of Black Ops Cold War will start on December 10. This will bring fresh content to the playlist and connect three CoDs in a unique way. Because Warzone, CoD MW, and Cold War will then share their progression system.
If you want to try something new in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War by then and haven’t been in zombie mode yet, you should give the co-op adventure a try. There are many hidden puzzles and countless undead that throw themselves into your hail of bullets. MeinMMO has created a simple and spoiler-free guide to help you get started.

About a week ago, Shadowlands, the latest expansion of World of Warcraft, was released. MeinMMO editor Alexander Leitsch really jumped into Retail WoW for the first time and made some interesting experiences while leveling.
Due to Corona and accumulated leisure time, I had a long weekend and took the opportunity to thoroughly explore Retail WoW. Even though I am a huge MMORPG fan, my WoW history is limited:
At the release, I was only 12 years old, and the subscription fees were out of the question for my parents. Instead, I fell in love with Guild Wars 1 and later many other MMORPGs, including AION, Black Desert, and Guild Wars 2, where I have over 7,500 hours of gameplay.
I only played WoW for a few weeks during the release of Cataclysm as part of a Let’s Play. But we grinded with XP boosts, dungeons, and professionals who supported us.
With Shadowlands, I wanted to finally give Retail a chance. Especially with the level adjustments, I thought now might be the perfect time to start.
However, leveling went extremely chaotically for me. I haven’t been so confused and at the same time so excited by an MMORPG as I am now with World of Warcraft. But let’s take it one step at a time.
Jaina distracts me from Arthas and something with Vashj’ir
How does leveling work in Shadowlands? Anyone starting with Shadowlands now must first visit the Isle of Exile. There you will learn the game mechanics.
However, I decided against it and started normally in the starting area of the dwarves as a fresh level 1 hunter – since I had previously played WoW, I could choose here. Until level 10, I followed the first quests as expected, then I was sent to Stormwind, where I was supposed to talk to Chromie.
Chromie allows me to choose an expansion that I want to level in from then on. Theoretically, I could also have stayed in the old areas and gained experience there. But as an old WC3 fan, I was drawn to Northrend and Arthas, the Lich King. However, in Stormwind, everything was once again chaotic.
Arthas is one of the most well-known figures in the Warcraft lore. Of course, I wanted to experience his story.
What happened? On the way to Chromie, I accidentally passed by the Castle of Stormwind. Suddenly, Jaina Proudmoore spoke to me. In a cool video sequence, she talked about Kul Tiras and that she absolutely needed to travel there.
This sounded exciting, so I ran to the harbor of Stormwind instead of to Chromie. Upon arriving at the harbor, I spoke with an NPC who urgently wanted to give me a quest. Upon accepting the quest, I was immediately teleported to Vashj’ir, the underwater zone from Cataclysm.
After 3 quests, it became too boring for me, so I pulled the Hearthstone and ran from Dun Morogh back to Stormwind. This time, I caught the right ship and headed to Kul Tiras.
Kul Tiras and the missing background story
What happened in Kul Tiras? In the completely new zone of Kul Tiras, I had no idea what was going on. Jaina apparently betrayed her homeland and was now locked away. Just like me, whatever I had to do with this betrayal.
As confused as I was by the story, I had so much fun in Kul Tiras.
The story was beautifully told.
Leveling was extremely fast for my Classic-burdened soul.
I particularly liked the “chapter system”. I always knew where I was in the story, where it was going, and experienced one adventure after another.
The chapter system, which exists in every zone.
However, I seem to have missed some quests, because contrary to expectations, I was still not level 50 after Kul Tiras.
So I set out again towards Northrend.
I turn wrong again!
Accidentally into the war instead of Northrend: This time I turned wrong again – this time in Kul Tiras – and ended up for a short time in the war campaign of Battle for Azeroth somewhere in an attack on the Zandalari.
During this, I got a companion – although I have no idea what this companion can do. Apparently, there are missions, but I should get on a ship for that. However, no one tells me where this ship is. At least the ship on which I received the companion was not the right one. Sooner or later, I will surely ask Dr. Google!
Is it worth starting with WoW Shadowlands? Listen to it in the MeinMMO podcast
In the latest podcast, we discuss with our guest Marylin Marx from GameStar about WoW Shadowlands, what has changed, and whether one should return after a long break.
After a short interlude, I left the war and traveled to Stormwind to finally set off for Northrend – only about 12 hours of gameplay had passed since my initial decision!
In the icy north, I was surprised to find the chapter system again. With it, I smoothly and relaxedly played through the Borean Tundra – until level 49.
Finally in Shadowlands: At level 49, I was called back to Stormwind and it was time to head towards Shadowlands. Only a short sequence with Bolvar Fordragon introduced me to the story of Shadowlands. But I really didn’t understand it.
I’m currently still on my way in Shadowlands, my hunter is level 54. But even now I’m eager to experience how the story continues. At least I am following the lore of Shadowlands myself from the beginning this time.
Although I am fully confused by the many travels and gaps in the story, I had a great time with Retail WoW over the weekend. It’s always exciting to discover a “new” MMORPG, and whatever you may say about WoW, it is truly a beautiful, well-voiced, and well-made game.
In fact, it is the lore that has kept me engaged:
I wanted to know what happens to Jaina after she was captured.
I absolutely wanted to see the Lich King.
I wanted to be among the first to experience the story of a new expansion.
I am aware that I am quite late in all of this and I have to take some of the confusion upon myself. But anyone starting with Shadowlands like me now, and possibly having even less prior knowledge about the lore than I do, could be overwhelmed by all the possibilities.
My tip is actually to play through an expansion from start to finish and not to get distracted constantly. It would be wise to go through the Classic zones, Burning Crusade, or Wrath of the Lich King. From Mists of Pandaria – at least I feel – the story increasingly builds on previous events that are hard to understand without prior knowledge.
Two toys that chatter at you constantly can be found in WoW: Shadowlands. We will show you where to find these two talkative companions.
With World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, Blizzard has hidden a ton of new toys in the game. Most of them are quite creative, and some even work particularly well in combination. Today, we will show you two toys that you shouldn’t miss.
We are talking about the “Valkyr’s Diadem of Unity” and the “Sinstone of Unity” – two funny toys that you can acquire on your travels or only after reaching level 60.
Here you can find the Valkyr’s Diadem of Unity: The diadem can be found in the Bastion area, fitting the theme. Travel to the Temple of Humility in the eastern part of the area and then to the treasure “Gift of Chyrus”. The treasure is located at coordinates 71 / 37. To open the treasure, you must prove your humility. This can be done by simply kneeling in front of the treasure. You can do this with the emote /kneel. After that, you can open the treasure and add the diadem to your collection.
You will find the chest at the top of the flying island. You just need to kneel in front of it.
Here you can find the Sinstone of Unity: The sinstone can, as it should be, found in the vampiric area of Revendreth. Travel to the southeast to coordinates 63 / 72. There you will find entrance and exit cards that you need to click on. After that, you will land in a small puzzle where you must avoid various orbs. Make your way to the treasure chest and loot it to receive the sinstone.
What do the two do together? When you use both the sinstone and the diadem, they occupy your shoulders simultaneously. They are basically the angel and devil on your shoulders. But instead of giving you wise advice, they prefer to react to each other and comment on one another’s advice.
With the angel and devil on your shoulders, everything feels so much more stressful.
If you use them separately, they give you rather dubious advice. The sinstone always tries to tempt you into evil deeds, while the Valkyr naturally watches over the adherence to all virtues. Only together do they seem to enjoy gossiping about you and have a great time doing so.
What do you think of such toys that even interact with each other? A cool addition or do you find such “useless” treasures annoying?

What moves does Kyurem have? The legendary Pokémon has a total of 5 different moves:
Fast Moves: Fusion Flare (Dragon), Steel Wing (Steel)
Is Kyurem worth it? The legendary Pokémon is available in 3 different forms. Currently, only the normal form is available. Unfortunately, in this form, Kyurem is not that strong. It is not among the best Dragon attackers in the game.
However, the other two forms are much better. You should start collecting Kyurem candies diligently so that you have enough when the other forms arrive.
In our analysis of Kyurem, you can find out everything about the stats and usability of the Kyurem forms.

Questions & Answers
Why do I get the message “You have already participated”?
Based on the number of participants, this error occurs only to a small extent. According to our research, it has to do with the necessarily implemented spam protection against unwanted mass participation.
It can help to delete cookies in the browser, switch browsers, or temporarily use a different internet connection (such as mobile network instead of DSL/cable, or vice versa). This error message usually appears when multiple participating users are using the same IP address (university, shared apartment, family, etc.).
Where and when will the winners be announced?
We will collectively draw the winners of each week and announce them at the end of the linked article approximately weekly.
After that, a personal win notification will be sent to the email address provided during participation with details or sometimes questions about shipping (some prizes come via freight due to their size).
What happens to my data?
The data provided will be processed and used electronically solely for the purposes of this giveaway, in compliance with the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Further details can be found in our privacy policy.
What should be considered when participating from Switzerland?
Although they are clearly prizes for giveaways, based on our experience, Swiss customs do not recognize any exceptions in this regard and impose significant additional charges (with fees up to about 10 percent of the value of the goods/RRP) for imports into Switzerland. Given the often very high values of individual prizes, we unfortunately cannot cover this ourselves.
In order to still allow our valued users from Switzerland to participate, we have decided on the following procedure: If we draw a winner from Switzerland, we will first ask them if they are willing to accept the prize, even if they may have to pay customs duties. If not, we will draw a new winner for that day.
Can I submit my participation retroactively via email, Facebook, PM, etc.?
Unfortunately no. For reasons of equal opportunity and feasibility, participation is only possible via the online form of the Advent Calendar.
