In Pokémon GO, you can now reach Rank 50. The first step will be Level 41 for you. We show you the XP requirements, the tasks, and give tips for solving them.
This is Level 41: Since December 1, 2020, it has continued after Level 40. You can climb 10 more ranks. The first step is the way to Level 41.
For this, you need to have a certain amount of XP and additionally solve 4 tasks that can be quite tricky.
How much XP do you need for Level 41? You need a total of 26 million XP. That means you need to collect another 6 million XP after Level 40.
You need to complete these 4 tasks: In total, there are 4 quests that you need to complete for the ascent. Only if you reach the XP and complete the quests will you reach Level 41. The 4 tasks are:
Power-Ups on legendary Pokémon are worth it here: You should choose strong attackers for this. Legendary Pokémon are usually quite strong, but there are exceptions.
We recommend using Power-Ups on the following monsters:
Rayquaza
Mewtwo
Kyogre
Zapdos
Reshiram
Zekrom
Giratina (Altered Forme)
Otherwise, take a look at our list of the best attackers. You will surely find suitable candidates there.
Rayquaza is a good choice for Power-Ups
How to quickly win 30 Raids: Especially for trainers in villages, completing 30 Raids quickly can be difficult. Raid hours that occur every Wednesday are worth it here. There, you can easily complete over 10 Raids in one hour.
Otherwise, you should particularly focus on remote Raids. There are even apps that focus on organizing remote Raids. This way, you can comfortably sit on the couch and complete numerous Raids – but of course, it will cost you PokéCoins.
How to catch 200 Pokémon in one day? For such a task, events like Spotlight Hour or Community Day are worth it. Alone during Spotlight Hour, you can easily catch over 200 Pokémon and only need about an hour of time.
We recommend the catching trick for this. With it, you can catch Pokémon much faster and easily complete the task.
What about the Gold Medals? No trainer at Level 40 should have problems here. Alone on the way to Level 40, you will collect numerous Gold Medals. These will simply continue to be counted from Level 41.
Gold Medals are available for various actions in the game.
How to quickly collect XP? This may be the biggest challenge for some trainers. Collecting XP can be quite difficult, but it can quickly be achieved through some actions:
Friendships bring the most XP – get friends from the internet or your community and level up. Be sure to use a Lucky Egg during the friendship level up
Catching Pokémon now brings significantly more XP – especially outstanding throws reward you much more
A Lucky Egg is also worth it during a Raid Hour – there you can earn several hundred thousand XP
Besides Level 41, the first season is now also active. It brings new spawns and numerous other changes to Pokémon GO. We summarize it here for you:
In Call of Duty: Warzonethe pro Nickmercs has created a brutal setup. With the VLK Rogue shotgun, he reliably takes out opponents with just one shot. You’ll find out how that looks in action and how to build the weapon as a one-shot monster here.
Some even believe that the R9-0 is totally OP and ruins the Warzone. Therefore, this weapon may soon be nerfed, and fans are currently looking for alternatives.
At the suggestion of streamer colleague TimTheTatMan, Warzone pro Nickmercs has experimented a bit with the VLK Rogue shotgun. The results are impressive.
This is what the setup looks like: To get a deadly VLK Rogue that takes out opponents at close range with a single hit, you should upgrade your VLK Rogue as follows:
Muzzle: FORGE TAC Marauder
Barrel: 16” Warlord
Laser: 5mW Laser
Ammunition: 8-S Dragon’s Breath
Rear Grip: Textured Grip Tape
With this setup, you’ll have a weapon that hits brutally at close range. How intense this looks can be seen in the video that Nickmercs has published:

As soon as an opponent comes into Nickmercs’ sights, they are taken down and eliminated with a second shot. To drop a healthy opponent, it only takes one shot with the upgraded VLK Rogue.
You have to unlock the VLK Rogue, and here’s how to obtain it:
Therefore, Nickmercs is also thrilled with the outcome of his experiment. He sees a future for this weapon in the upcoming Warzone meta:
If the R9 nerf actually comes, do we believe then that the VLK will take its place? Personally, I believe that. I think that is the next step. If the R9 is nerfed, I think players will switch to the VLK.
The start of Season 5 – Chapter 2 in Fortnite: Battle Royale is drawing closer. As with every season start, there will traditionally be a new Battle Pass filled with skins and cosmetics. We will show you what is already known about it.
Update December 2, 8:30 AM: The trailer for Season 5 is here and gives a first glimpse of what players can expect in just a few hours.
After that, Season 5 should continue, although it is not yet known exactly when it will go live. However, hints suggest a start a few hours after the live event. But what do we know about the new Battle Pass?
Season 5 Battle Pass
What is already known? Normally, players can only discover the full content of a new Battle Pass on the launch day of the new season. This probably won’t change anytime soon, but Epic has accidentally already revealed some hints.
In the stores where you can buy Fortnite online, the new season title image appeared, showing 3 Battle Pass skins. Epic likely updated this accidentally. However, before it could disappear again, players had already saved it and shared it on Twitter:

Which skins are visible? The image featured 3 skins and a back accessory. There was a character with black-pink armor, a “man” with a pancakes head, and “The Mandalorian,” known from the Star Wars universe.
The back accessory is Baby Yoda, who is likely to hang on the back of the Mandalorian in his small capsule.
How much will the Battle Pass cost? So far, the Battle Passes in the standard version have always cost 950 V-Bucks. There is no indication that this price will change.
However, the Battle Pass package, which allowed players to buy the Battle Pass and 25 levels, has been replaced by a level package costing 1,850 V-Bucks. Epic explains this as follows:
The Battle Pass package has been replaced by a package with 25 levels that costs 1,850 V-Bucks. This offer can be purchased once per season by players who have reached a maximum of level 75. The package can be bought along with the standard Battle Pass or separately. You can also purchase it after obtaining the Battle Pass individually or if you received it as a member of the Fortnite Crew.
These are the current known details about the Battle Pass. What else is included in the Battle Pass and what it will ultimately look like, we will probably only find out when Season 5 finally begins.
The first skin from Season 5 available with the Crew Subscription
If you want to buy the Battle Pass anyway and also want to have an exclusive skin, another option would be to check out the Crew Subscription, which will be available from December 2. If you are wondering whether it is worth it for you, we have all important information about the Crew Subscription for you.

Today, on December 1, 2020, the Spotlight Hour with Jurob starts in Pokémon GO. We show you the bonuses and Shinys.
What is a Spotlight Hour? Every Tuesday, this event takes place in Pokémon GO. During the evening hours from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM, you can participate. A Pokémon is in the spotlight during the event. A bonus makes the event even more attractive for you.
This week, the Spotlight Hour revolves around the Pokémon Jurob.
All information about the Spotlight Hour with Jurob
When does the Spotlight Hour take place? It starts this evening as usual at 6:00 PM local time. The event runs for one hour and from 7:00 PM, the spawns active before the event will return.
What bonuses are there? In today’s Spotlight Hour, you will encounter Jurob almost everywhere. If you ignite a Incense module, you will find even more spawns of this Pokémon.
Additionally, you will receive double experience points for evolving Pokémon. So if you have a few candidates in your bag that you can evolve, it’s worth it even more this evening than usual.
Is there Shiny Jurob? Yes! For those shiny collectors among you who haven’t had luck so far, this is good news.
This is why the event is worth it: From now on, it’s going upwards in Pokémon GO starting at Level 40. For each level up from 41 to 50, you need to gain XP and complete tasks. If you’re missing a few experience points, you can make up for them today with the evolutions.
Don’t have a Shiny Jurob yet? Then this Spotlight Hour is an opportunity for you to catch one.
In Taiwan, a husband tried to pass off his new PS5 as a fan so that his wife wouldn’t notice. However, she caught on to the deception and forced the man to sell the coveted console. Read the whole story here on MeinMMO.
What happened? The Taiwanese gamer and Facebook user Jin Wu managed to obtain a PlayStation 5 despite the shortage. However, he had to pick it up personally from the man selling it privately.
On the phone, he was in contact with a woman who, in his opinion, “didn’t sound like a person who plays video games.” But the price was very reasonable, so Jin Wu decided to pick up the PS5 in person.
When he arrived, he was greeted by a middle-aged guy who, according to Jin Wu, looked much more like a gamer. When asked where he bought the PS5, the man gave a reply, but Jin Wu was puzzled.
“You seem to have a good business sense. Did you order two? Why else would you be selling your PS5?”
Wife knows the difference between a fan and a console
Why did the man have to sell the PS5? Full of bitterness and sadness, the man supposedly told Jin Wu the whole truth behind the PS5 sale.
“My wife is selling the console,” the man confessed. “She knows the difference between a PS5 and a standing fan.”
Apparently, the husband wanted to keep his wife from knowing he wanted to buy an expensive new console. Since she obviously didn’t want such a device in the house, the man came up with the “clever” idea to pass it off as an extravagant standing fan.
The man probably hoped that his wife was not very tech-savvy and therefore wouldn’t know that the “fan” was actually a console. But that was apparently not the case, and the angry wife then forced the man to sell his console as soon as possible.
If you still want a PS5, there may be good news for you here:
This is how the community reacts: Jin Wu posted this curious case on Facebook and received almost 7,000 reactions and over 1,000 comments. Some of them include:
A user reports that a friend of hers also has a wife who wants him to sell the PS5.
Other users took the opportunity to express their generosity towards their partners, saying, “Look how good I am to you!”
Other users expressed solidarity with the man, saying, “Brother, buy some beer and sit down, I’ll hide your PS5.”
Others also linked to a viral comic video from South Korea, where a man tries to convince his wife that a console is actually a router.

What do you think about this? Does the man deserve to sell his PS5? After all, he tried to deceive his wife intentionally and thought she was too dumb to tell a console apart from a fan. Or is the wife cruel and mean by not allowing her husband to enjoy the PS5 that he was lucky to get despite the delivery difficulties?

CD Projekt Red is raffling off an exclusive RTX 3080 in the design of Cyberpunk 2077 for its release. The graphics card looks really good, but there is a catch. Apparently, only Chinese users will receive the graphics card.
Here is the graphics card in question: CD Projekt Red has introduced a special GeForce RTX 3080 in collaboration with the bilibili network.
This one comes in the black and yellow design suitable for Cyberpunk 2077 and looks damn good.
The graphics card appears to be a Founders Edition model from Nvidia based on its looks and fans, with a Cyberpunk-2077 design. The GeForce RTX 3080 performed very well in tests. It offers high performance for 4K gaming with ray tracing at a fair price. However, the graphics card is so immensely popular that the RTX 3080 sold out quickly.
RTX 3080 looks great – but there is a catch
What is this action all about? CD Projekt Red, the developer studio behind Cyberpunk 2077, is raffling off merchandise related to the game in collaboration with the Chinese network bilibili. This includes among other things the RTX 3080
a “OnePlus 8T 2077 Edition” smartphone
a gaming chair from SecretLab
a Razer Viper Ultimate “Cyberpunk Edition” mouse
or an Xbox controller in the Cyberpunk 2077 design.
Bilibili is a Chinese social network focused on video sharing around movies, comics, and gaming. The network has 35 million registered users. You can find the entire action in Chinese at bilibili.
What is the catch? These offers before the game’s release only apply to Chinese fans. This means you cannot participate in the raffle with a German address.
But the chance that one of you gets the graphics card would be unlikely even if you could participate here. Because Gamerant writes that there are already over 1.2 million participants in the raffle.
Cyberpunk 2077 Release – it will definitely come in December
Meanwhile, CD Projekt Red has made it clear that the game will definitely be released on December 10, 2020, and there won’t be a fourth delay of the game. During an “Earnings Call,” it was emphasized again that there will be no further delay (via reddit.com).
Meanwhile, someone even took the effort to create a cool trailer mixing Cyberpunk 2077 with World of Warcraft. You can check out what comes out of it in our article:
Tim “Nemesis” Lipovšek is a “League of Legends” professional. He was considered a great talent when he switched from MAD Lions to Fnatic in 2018. But now he has left Fnatic again and wanted to start for another team in the spring. However, he did not receive a single offer from Europe.
What happened? The midlaner Nemesis played for Fnatic from 2018 to 2020. Under him, the European team actually performed quite well:
They had the chance three times for a regional championship title, but were always defeated in the finals by the major competitor G2 Esports.
To prevent this from happening again in 2021, Fnatic wanted to restructure. And this primarily affects Nemesis.
What’s next for Nemesis? In a clip on Twitch, the midlaner shared that he received a few offers from teams, but none met his expectations.
It seems there were offers from various regions that Nemesis apparently is not interested in. There was not a single offer from Europe, his home region.
This is tough for a midlaner who has a lot of regional and international experience. According to his own statement, he will be taking time off in the Spring Split of 2021.

Nemesis was considered a great talent but made many mistakes
Why was Nemesis considered a talent? When the midlaner joined Fnatic in 2018, he had to step into the big shoes left by Caps. But he started very strongly.
The website Picks and Bans wrote in January 2019 that Fnatic had a weak performance, but Nemesis was immune to this criticism. He was “the only solid player on the team” at that point.
More about player transfers in November 2020 in LoL:
So what’s the problem? Nemesis is considered strong, but he has also had some weak phases, especially in the 2020 season.
The biggest point of criticism is his champion pool. While in 2019 his best champs were also the strongest in the game, it looked different this year:
In the Summer Split of 2020, Nemesis only achieved a KDA of 3.1 and ended up in 7th place out of 10 midlaners in the LEC.
He was only involved in 59.5% of all team kills and thus ranked last. ZaZee from SK Gaming, Caps from G2 Esports, and Larssen from Rogue all had involvement over 70% (via Oracleselixir).
But the mid lane plays an extremely important role in LoL and is considered the “prestige lane.” Stars like Faker and DoinB became known and famous through it. Nemesis is strong in his position, but he has not dominated it in recent years.
Fnatic is facing a restart
Who replaces Nemesis? Fnatic has since reinforced with Yasin “Nisqy” Dinçer. He was previously the midlaner for the American team Cloud9.
New in the bot lane is the German Elias ‘Upset’ Lipp. He has received a contract for 3 years.
So far, however, there have been no changes in the other three positions.
Nick “LS” De Cesare was supposed to become a new coach for T1.
But changes have not only occurred with the players. The South Korean team T1, where Faker plays, wanted to hire a new coach. However, a wave of hate ensured that he was not hired:
On November 30, there were finally details about what the new PvP will look like.
Instead of 10 ranks, there are now 24 ranks
The four highest ranks have special names
Medals for reaching the highest ranks
New Pokémon rewards
Exclusive rewards depending on the rank achieved
This is how trainer battles change in Pokémon GO
More ranks: Niantic has already explained that they are increasing the limit from 10 to 24 ranks. You achieve these by playing and winning accordingly. You will also receive a rating for your performance. Once you reach a certain rating, you count as one of the four highest ranks in Pokémon GO.
Rating

Rank 20: Initially, trainers have the chance to encounter the current legendary 5-star boss. During the second half of Season 6, you will be rewarded with a surprise Pokémon.
Legend rank: Guaranteed encounter with Libre Pikachu
What happens next? Since the end of Season 5 on November 30, you will now find your rewards in the battles overview. Depending on how you placed, there are Charged TMs, Fast TMs, Elite Charged TMs, Raid passes, and Stardust waiting for you.
The most important dates: Remember these dates if you want to try PvP in Pokémon GO again.
The Great League runs from November 30 to Monday, December 14 at 22:00
The Ultra League and its Premier Cup run from December 14 at 22:00 to Monday, December 28 at 22:00
The Master League, the Premier Cup, Master League Classic, and the Holiday Cup run from December 28 at 22:00 to Monday, January 4, 2021. Only Pokémon that have not been strengthened with XL candies can participate in the Master League Classic
All three leagues and the Ultra League Premier Cup run from Monday, January 4, 2021, at 22:00 to Monday, January 11, 2021, at 22:00
From December 28 at 22:00 to January 4 at 22:00, you will receive double Stardust for wins and completing battle sets. This counts for the Master League, the Premier Cup, Master League Classic, and the Holiday Cup.
The Holiday Cup (from December 28 at 22:00 to January 4 at 22:00) has a CP limit of 1,500. Only the types Normal, Grass, Electric, Ice, Flying, and Ghost may participate.
How do you like it? Did Niantic hit the right spots with this overhaul, or do you wish for further changes in the trainer battles?
Let us know here at MeinMMO what could still be improved in PvP or why everything is exactly as you wished it would be.

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.

The charm remains intact, and tactics are not completely thrown out the window.
Whoever enjoys entertaining shooting sessions and fast-paced action in games, enjoys testing their skills against others, and seeks a change from the usual mainstream candidates, could certainly find satisfaction here.
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 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:
Both the “Xbox One” and the “Xbox Series X” controllers can be used with batteries and rechargeable batteries. You can also charge the controllers conveniently with a charging station. We present to you the best rechargeable batteries and charging stations for Xbox Series X and Xbox One. First, let’s clarify what is included with the new Xbox Series X|S.
The most important points at a glance:

For the controller, you should opt for rechargeable batteries instead of regular batteries. We explain why.
What it’s about: Microsoft has provided the Xbox Series X with a new controller. Like the Xbox One controller, the device uses batteries or rechargeable batteries. Nowadays, there are some devices where you can charge the controller without having to remove the battery.
What is included with the Xbox Series X|S? The package of the Xbox Series X includes an “Xbox Series X” console, a controller, a high-speed HDMI cable, and a power cable for the power connection. The new “Xbox Series X” controller has been revised by Microsoft.
By the way, the Xbox controller only contains regular batteries, so the rechargeable battery set is a sensible long-term upgrade for gaming.

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.

The Battle Royale Game Garena Free Fire is one of the largest and most successful games in the world. However, it is hardly known here. Find out here on MeinMMO what Garena Free Fire is and why you should definitely take a look.
What is Garena Free Fire?Garena Free Fire is a free-to-play mobile game from the battle royale genre. The publisher is Garena from Singapore. The game is oriented towards gameplay similar to CoD Warzone and PUBG. A total of 50 players parachute onto a map and fight until only one remains. Optionally, you can also play the game in teams.
The controls are intuitively via touchscreen, and thanks to an aim assist, you will still hit quite well. Game rounds rarely last longer than 10 minutes, making the game an ideal filler for breaks.
The graphics are quite good for a mobile game and can compete with games like CoD Mobile.

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.
