CoD Cold War really kicks off with Season 1 – All facts, leaks & rumors

The first season of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War starts on December 10 and brings new content to the game. MeinMMO gathers all the facts & leaks about the first season and explains what the Warzone has to do with it.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has faced a lot of criticism for bringing very little content at launch. With the start of the first season on December 10, the developers at Treyarch aim to gradually combat this situation.

Therefore, MeinMMO shows you here what the rumor mill has served regarding the first season and what facts the developers have already established about the new season.

By the way – the first new map will come already in the pre-season and starts on Tuesday, November 24. The small cult map “Nuketown” is coming into play. If you log in by December 3, you’ll even get a matching weapon bundle.

Cold War: Season 1 starts on 12/10 and runs like in CoD MW

How do the seasons progress in Cold War? The developers have emphasized several times that they want to operate a very similar service model as the predecessor Modern Warfare. For players, this means that all gameplay-relevant content after release is completely free. Whether weapons, maps or modes – you don’t need to spend any more money to benefit from the season content.

Each new season also comes with a fresh battle pass. Here you can unlock more than 100 cosmetic items for 1,000 CoD points (about €10). The pass will also again have a free reward path, with which you can unlock a few things even without the 1,000 CoD points. This includes, for example, the new weapons.

Even before the official release of Cold War, the developers showed a roadmap with the contents of the first season:

cod cold war roadmap season 1 deutsch

Season 1: Content according to roadmap

  • New modes & maps for multiplayer
  • Modes for the zombie mode
  • New weapons
  • 2v2 Gunfight from CoD MW returns
  • Secret Warzone experience
  • And more

What else comes with Season 1? On December 10, the complete prestige system starts. So far, you can only advance 100 levels after your 55 military ranks and attain prestige rank 3.

No one can take these prestige ranks away from you, and with each new season, you can level up these ranks further (maximum 4 per season). However, unlike the pre-season, it will then continue, and you can advance another 1,000 levels after the 200 levels for the 4 prestige ranks and unlock rewards.

What about the merging of Cold War with Warzone? Also an exciting topic, where it will likely only be revealed on December 10 how it works. What is certain is that Cold War, Warzone, and CoD MW will merge their leveling systems, and there will be no difference anymore in where you earn your experience points. In all 3 CoDs, you can grind for your prestige rank or level up the battle pass. More information on this can be found here:

Finally, we know how CoD Warzone continues with Cold War – This is the plan
von Sven Galitzki

Moreover, weapons from Cold War are to come into Warzone. However, it is still unclear whether Battle Royale players will receive all weapons from Cold War all at once or if they will be introduced gradually.

In this context, Warzone & Cold War are more merging and leaving CoD MW somewhat aside. While you can use all your unlocked or purchased cosmetics from Cold War in Warzone, this does not apply to CoD MW. Also, the weapons do not transfer to the CoD from 2019, everything is limited to Warzone.

Leaks speak of 3 completely new maps with Season 1

What maps are coming with Season 1? A leak on Twitter mentions a total of 3 completely new maps for multiplayer:

  • Dune
  • Mall
  • Echelon

What types of maps these will be is still unclear. The developers at Treyarch stated on Twitter on November 13 (the release date) that the following will come with Season 1:

  • New 6v6 maps & modes
  • New 2v2 Gunfight maps
  • New Fireteam map

One of the maps could be reserved for the large Fireteam mode. The other two for 6vs6. However, new maps are also needed for the gunfights. The current maps seem too large for 2v2 matches, so new maps or reworked versions of the existing maps would be required. Perhaps Treyarch interprets the 2v2 skirmishes differently and works here with 6v6 maps.

Furthermore, the large Fireteam maps could also come as reworked versions for 6v6 modes. Excerpts from “Alpine” and “Ruka” for 6v6 battles would further increase the selection.

Here is the leak from Twitter:

https://twitter.com/WarzoneNewz/status/1330321409009201156

Weapons, zombies, and scorestreaks are likely to increase

What about the weapons? It is considered quite certain that the Striker shotgun and the Groza assault rifle will come with the battle pass of the first season. Both weapons are shown on the roadmap. The operator “Adler” is holding the shotgun in hand, and in the “new weapons” field, a weapon can be seen that looks very similar to the Russian Groza. However, the Groza actually only comes from the 90s, although the multiplayer plays in the 80s. Current information still points towards Groza.

What about zombies? The leak initially teased a new map for zombies. However, it now seems more likely that a new mode will be introduced that expands the experience on the first zombie map “Die Maschine”. Further information about that is not yet available.

What about the scorestreak? The Twitter leak mentions the “K9 Unit”. Other sources consider the release of this scorestreak to be rather unlikely, as a previous leak photo had already shown 5 new streaks, but the K9 Unit was not included.

If it does come, it would be a dog unit that you send after your enemies. Multiple dogs storm the field and attack your enemies. If the opponents are quick enough, they can eliminate the dogs. However, the streak can result in quite a few kills and was already part of Black Ops 2, the CoD from 2012.

The secret Warzone experience is likely a new map known from Black Ops 1

What is the Warzone experience about? There is still no detailed information about this, but there are already some hints:

So it could be a new map based on the Alcatraz map from the spiritual predecessor of Warzone “Blackout”. It was part of a DLC from Black Ops 4 (CoD from 2018), and a return is quite conceivable. As a story background, an island from Black Ops 1 (CoD from 2010) could serve. On “Vozrozhdeniya Island”, experiments with weaponry were conducted in BO1, such as deadly nerve gases. A fitting template to replace the radioactive gas in Verdansk.

However, what is coming for Warzone is still not conclusively clarified.

Black Ops Cold War wants to replicate the success of CoD MW and relies on very similar recipes for this purpose. It sees itself as a service game that wants to remain current and exciting until the release of the next CoD in 2021. So you can expect a lot of content that will only land in the game throughout the coming seasons.

Until then, you can pass the time with weapon and prestige leveling. Maybe you want to try a new play style. A guide for beginners in the sniper and quickscope business of CoD Cold War can be found here.

In Pokémon GO you will soon be able to better mark your Pokémon – Here’s how it works

Pokémon GO is likely to get a new feature that will massively help you sort your Pokémon. We will show you what is already known about “tagging.”

This was found: Diligent data miners on reddit have searched the code of Pokémon GO for updates. They came across several text files related to “tagging.”

This feature has already been briefly mentioned by Niantic, but there hasn’t been any detailed information about it yet. Now we give you a first overview of tagging.

Tagging in Pokémon GO – What does it bring?

This is tagging: This feature refers to small labels that you can attach to your Pokémon. For example, you can label all the Pokémon you want to trade with the same label and then find all these Pokémon using a search command.

According to the data miners, you can choose the text for the label yourself. You can also select a color for the label.

Tagging Pokemon GO
This is what the tagging symbol looks like.

What does tagging bring? This makes sorting Pokémon significantly easier. Until now, you could do something similar by renaming the Pokémon and then filtering by search command.

In the future, you should be able to see both the name of the Pokémon and the tag. Additionally, the different colors should provide even more clarity.

Which tags would be suitable? You can proceed in various ways. For example, you can mark battle teams differently. Additionally, Pokémon that you want to trade or get rid of due to duplicate candies would be ideal for such a tag.

When could this feature arrive? So far, it’s important to note that this information is based on findings from data miners. Niantic has not yet officially announced any information about it.

However, the developers mentioned the feature in a blog post . There, different employees talked about their work on the new GO Beyond update . Jessica Taylor mentioned that she worked on Pokémon tagging. So it looks like the feature is ready and will come to the game soon.

It might come alongside the big update at the beginning of December. Adjustments to the catching system and further improvements are also expected there. Tagging would therefore fit in. We’ll have to wait to see when we can expect the release of the feature.

You better not take these watches into the CoD Warzone, they can cost you your life

In Call of Duty: Warzone you can also equip your soldier with stylish watches. However, these fashionable accessories can cost you your life in critical situations. Here, on MeinMMO, find out where you should prioritize utility over aesthetics.

What’s the problem with the watches? Normally, the watches in the Warzone only look good and otherwise sit obediently on the wrist of your virtual super soldier in the Warzone. But two particularly cool watches have a function that can work against you in the game. It’s about the following watches:

  • Strange Magic
  • Time of the Season

Both watches are available in Season 6 of Call of Duty: Warzone in the Battle Pass. They are unique in that they project the time above the wrist via hologram.

It looks cool and hip, but it’s not a good idea for the following reasons.

In addition to the watches, there are customized weapons in Season 6:

Your watch reveals your location in the Gulag

Here’s why you shouldn’t wear the two watches: Reddit user Khurlauss has impressively shown in a clip how impractical bright holo displays are in the Warzone. This is particularly problematic in the Gulag. Because in the dim hallways of the prison, the bright holograms are very visible, essentially marking you as a conspicuous target.

This is how the watch can be seen through walls: But it gets worse, as due to a strange glitch, the watch can even be seen through walls. While only a small dot is visible, if you know the dot is there – like Khurlauss does – you essentially gain an involuntary wallhack.

In the embedded video, Khurlauss can therefore target an opponent at the end since he knows exactly where his enemy is located. In a close-up, you can also better see the telltale dot from the watch. At least the issue of watches visible through walls is something that hopefully will be resolved by the developers soon. However, the brightly lit watches are intentionally designed that way and will likely not be changed. So only take them with you if you can handle giving your opponent an advantage out of vanity. Perhaps consider getting the Kill Tamagotchi instead.

Genshin Impact is getting a new 5-star heroine soon – Leak shows what she can do

A new heroine awaits us in the cooperative RPG Genshin Impact with Ganyu. A leaked skill list now reveals what she can do.

Who is the new heroine? According to the latest leaks, the new heroine Ganyu is set to be introduced before the Update 1.2. Ganyu has pledged her allegiance to the Geo God Rex Lapis. She wields a bow and employs the Cryo element. Players are already referring to her as “Cryo Amber”.

Amber also uses a bow in Genshin Impact but is dedicated to the Pyro element and is D-Tier, meaning her skills are based on fire. Ganyu’s skills, on the other hand, use ice and cold.

Genshin Impact Ganyu
Ganyu is a new playable heroine that will soon be introduced in Genshin Impact.

Ganyu is the Cryo Amber

What skills can Ganyu use? A leaked list from the Beta of Update 1.2 reveals that Ganyu utilizes the elemental skill “Trails of Qilin”. This leaves a single Ice Lotus that attracts enemies. Ganyu jumps back, dealing Cryo damage.

If the lotus is destroyed, it deals additional area-of-effect ice damage. The skill is reminiscent of Amber’s “Baron Bunny,” which operates similarly but deals fire damage.

Ganyu’s elemental burst is called “Celestial Shower.” She creates an “Ice Soul Gem” that rains Cryo damage. This is also said to resemble Amber. The “shower” additionally provides buffs for teammates and debuffs for enemies through Ganyu’s constellations.

This video introduces you to the leak:

https://youtu.be/pljMopp4gbU
This video presents Ganyu’s skills.

How reliable is all of this? The information comes from the Beta of Genshin Impact 1.2. It is possible that some aspects may change based on tester feedback. But generally, you can expect Ganyu to be a Cryo version of Amber.

When will Ganyu and Update 1.2 be released? The new update for the cooperative RPG Genshin Impact is planned for late December. Ganyu is set to arrive along with another 5-star character, Albedo, with Patch 1.2 on December 23.

What do you think of Ganyu as the new heroine in Genshin Impact? Do you think she should have differed more from Amber?

Someone shows Cyberpunk 2077 as a leak for 20 minutes – might get sued

The SF epic “Cyberpunk 2077” is set to release on December 10, but some players seem to already have a copy. The first streamer even showcased the game. The leak featuring 20 minutes of gameplay at the start aired, but the streamer is likely to enjoy it for much longer. CD Projekt Red announces that it will take “legal action” against anyone who breaks the embargo.

That was the stream: A user showed 20 minutes of gameplay from Cyberpunk 2077. The game was showcased on the PS4. During the stream, viewers saw:

  • The character creation
  • followed by the first 18 minutes of the game

According to GameStar, the shown material featured scenes from the “Nomad prologue backstory on the PS4 Pro.”

The streamer mainly wanted to celebrate how early he could showcase the game and how great it is that he can show it so early.

Hardly anyone watched the stream live: In the end, the streamer had 52 viewers. However, mirrors of the first 20 minutes spread across the internet.

CD Projekt Red is deleting, but too many mirrors online

This is how CD Projekt Red is responding: The development team has apparently been busy in recent hours deleting mirrors of the 20-minute stream from the internet. It’s as tedious as trying to push toothpaste back into the tube.

Anyone searching for the clip will find working mirrors in forums like “Resetera” to watch the video.

CD Projekt Red announced to the site Dualshockers that it will take “legal action against anyone who breaks the embargo/street date.”

Actually, the release of Cyberpunk 2077 is scheduled for December 10, but apparently some retailers already have the game in stock.

Players on reddit already said: They held the game in their hands.

This is how the leak of Cyberpunk 2077 is being discussed: In recent days, quite a bit of gameplay has already been seen. Journalists like Michael Graf from GameStar have already spent 16 hours with Cyberpunk 2077, wrote major previews, and showcased gameplay (via GameStar).

Therefore, the newly leaked gameplay isn’t extremely exciting. But it’s at least interesting to see how the “unpatched Cyberpunk 2077” runs on a regular PS4.

It looks “decent”, say users from Reset Era.

Beware of spoilers after gameplay leak

What’s the catch about the leak? The version presumably features gameplay from a version that is still missing the optimization of a day-one patch.

Players now fear that they will be spoiled by people who have already been able to play the game. Therefore, one should probably be cautious from now on if one wants to check out Cyberpunk 2077 without knowing what to expect.

The streamer who spent 20 minutes on Cyberpunk 2077 on Twitch might definitely hear from the developers’ lawyers and think about those 20 minutes a lot longer.

Cyberpunk 2077 is probably the most anticipated game of 2020. But recently, some dark clouds gathered over the game. Reports circulated about harsh working conditions and a culture of overtime that raises concerns:

Destiny 2: New rocket launcher is “the strongest raid exo that Bungie has ever given us”

Has Destiny 2 finally received its Gjallarhorn 2.0 with Beyond Light? The new exotic “Eyes of Tomorrow” from the new raid can stand up to the comparison with the cult weapon.

This is causing a stir in Destiny: The first Guardians have completed the new Deep Stone Crypt raid from the expansion Destiny 2: Beyond Light and have found a new exotic toy: the rocket launcher “Eyes of Tomorrow”.

The Guardians who have this thing in their hands are giving the exotic top scores. Destiny expert Aztecross even says, “This is the strongest raid exotic that Bungie has ever given us.” Initial comparisons with the most famous Destiny weapon, the Gjallarhorn, are being made.

MeinMMO shows you where to get Eyes of Tomorrow, what the rocket launcher can do, and how it performs in the various activities of Destiny 2.

How to get Eyes of Tomorrow: You have to raid; there’s no way around it.

  • The exotic awaits in the new raid “Deep Stone Crypt” on Europa.
  • You have a chance for the rocket launcher when you defeat the final boss and loot the chest.
  • Whether there is an increasing chance for each attempt is currently unknown. Such a system has been implemented by Bungie in the past with other raid exotics – a kind of bad luck protection.
Raid Beyond Light Destiny 2
Eyes of Tomorrow can only be found in the Deep Stone Crypt raid from Destiny 2: Beyond Light

Now you know where to get the new exotic, but why is everyone so crazy about the weapon?

What the exotic can do: Eyes of Tomorrow is a rocket launcher that deals solar damage and requires heavy ammo. The weapon’s stats are almost irrelevant, but the high reload speed stands out, which greatly benefits you with the ideal play style.

The main focus is on the two exotic perks:

  • Everything in sight: The weapon tracks multiple targets and can simultaneously fire at several enemies.
  • Adaptive projectile: If you take down 4 or more enemies with a salvo, the damage of the next salvo increases.

Don’t be fooled by the sober description: When you look through the scope, you can ping up to 6 enemies instantly. The targets are then stored, and the rockets aggressively seek their victims.

If you then take down 4 enemies – which is not a problem due to the explosion radius and tracking – the damage of the next batch of rockets increases by 40 to 50%.

The 6 green eyes won’t let the prey escape

The new exotic “Eyes of Tomorrow” destroys everything in Destiny 2

Only a few Guardians have the new raid exotic yet. But brace yourselves to see the “Eyes of Tomorrow” soon in all areas of Destiny 2, as the item performs strongly in PvE, the Crucible, and Gambit.

How good the exotic is in PvE:

  • The weapon can easily take down a wave of normal enemies or deal heavy damage to bosses.
  • The normal damage seems to be about twice as high as that of the powerful raid exotic Outbreak Perfected.
  • Activating the damage bonus is enough to send everything that is not a raid or powerful end boss straight to the virtual afterlife.
  • With a reserve mod, you can reach the limit of 8 rocket salvos and can quickly fire them off thanks to the high reload speed.

Take a look here at how the target acquisition works:

Link to the YouTube content

What can the rocket launcher do in PvP? Here, the weapon can be referred to as the baby of Wardcliff Coil and Truth. Both exotic rocket launchers are very popular, and Eyes of Tomorrow combines their power.

  • If you have an enemy team in your sights, they’re basically all dead.
  • The target acquisition is instantaneous, and the target tracking is very aggressive.
  • In the Crucible, the weapon performs the weakest, as the rockets fly somewhat slower than those of the exo-parents – but you won’t go wrong with Eyes of Tomorrow even in PvP.

That’s why the weapon is the Gambit king: The rocket launcher is incredibly strong in PvE, good in PvP, but an absolute monster in Gambit.

  • No matter if time travelers, witches, or high-value targets – everything is surrounded by adds and can be quickly taken down.
  • The weapon shines the most during invasions. As an invader, you can catch the 4-player team with a single rocket load if you’re lucky. The target tracking makes it hard to escape, and you can send your merciless, homing killers even over great distances.
  • With 2 rocket scavenger mods, you receive 4 rockets per heavy ammunition box. This ideally means you can wipe out the opposing team in just 4 visits.

Has Bungie created a carrot with the new exotic that can lure you into the raid? Do you think Eyes of Tomorrow could soon become a problem, or do we simply need such powerful weapons?

WoW: Shadowlands as Base, Heroic and Epic Edition – Which one should I buy?

World of Warcraft Shadowlands can be pre-ordered in three different versions. The prices vary greatly – as do the contents.

On the night of November 23rd to November 24th, the latest WoW expansion will launch. It is called “Shadowlands” and takes place immediately after the new cinematic, in which Sylvanas fights against the Lich King Bolvar. All content of Shadowlands has been extensively presented here.

Those who wish can already pre-order the latest expansion. But this time, the WoW add-on comes in three different digital variants:

  • Base Edition
  • Heroic Edition
  • Epic Edition

We’ll tell you what’s included in each version.

What is included in the Base, Heroic, and Epic Editions of Shadowlands?

What is included in the Base Edition? The Base Edition costs 39.99€ and is thus comparatively inexpensive. Buyers receive the base game of Shadowlands. Additionally, there are:

  • since the release of Patch 8.3 visions of N’Zoth early access to Death Knights for Pandaren and all allied races.

What is included in the Heroic Edition? The Heroic Edition costs 54.99€ and includes all the content of the Base Edition. Additionally, there is:

  • A character boost to level 50.
  • The flying mount “Enchanted Eternal Wyrm”
    • The mount grants a quest that unlocks a special transmog set

What is included in the Epic Edition? The Epic Edition of WoW: Shadowlands costs a hefty 74.99€ and includes all the content of the Heroic Edition plus some extra goodies:

  • 30 days of game time
  • Pet Animawyrmling
  • Hearthstone with “effect of the Eternal Traveler”
  • Weapon illusion: Wraithchill

What the weapon enchant “Wraithchill” looks like can be seen in this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hvMG3N13zw

Which version is worth it? If you just want the base game Shadowlands, then the Basic Edition is sufficient. If you are considering wanting a new character at level 50, you should go for the Heroic Edition. If you want all the bonuses and goodies, then pay a little more and spend 75€ on the Epic Edition. Whether the extras justify the additional 35€, everyone has to decide for themselves. You can purchase the three versions at the Blizzard Shop.

World of Warcraft: Shadowlands – Gewinnspiel
von MeinMMO

This is how the transmog quest works: If you have purchased at least the “Heroic Edition”, you can use the mount Enchanted Eternal Wyrm and receive a quest from it. To do this, you need to click on a sphere on the back of the mount. You can also get the quest from other players, even if you do not own an Eternal Wyrm!

The quest requires you to collect 40 items. These drop from all humanoids in current areas. The drop chance is relatively low, which is why the quest can take a lot of time. It’s best to complete it “on the side” while playing dungeons or other content.

Which version of Shadowlands will you get? Is the Basic Edition enough for you? Or do you want it all?

One thing only annoys me about the PS5 – but more than I thought

The PlayStation 5 has now launched worldwide and is receiving a lot of praise – but there is also some criticism. The shooter expert Sven Galitzki from MeinMMO is basically annoyed by only one thing about the new Sony console – but that one thing is significant.

Many have been waiting for this: After the new next-gen console launched on November 12 in the USA and some other countries, the PS5 has been available in Germany since November 19.

Finally, German and European players can also get their hands on the PlayStation 5 and make their own experiences with it. Overall, the PS5 is doing well so far. However, there is also criticism – such as some technical teething problems.

By the way, the first are already playing, others are worried and cursing – How was your PS5 launch?

ps5 consoles
The PlayStation 5 has finally launched here

This is what I think of the PlayStation 5 so far

This is what I like: I have personally completely escaped from these teething problems. MeinMMO received a PS5 to test even before the Germany release by Sony. And since I got it on November 11, I have not experienced a single problem, hiccup, or anything similar with it.

In short: I am thoroughly excited about the PS5 so far. Well, almost thoroughly.

  • The performance is strong – whether with PS5 games like Demon’s Souls, PS4 games with next-gen upgrades like No Man’s Sky, or my old PS4 gems The Division 2 or Destiny 2 via the backward compatibility.
  • I find the new user interface intuitive and well-done
  • I have not heard the PS5 once with any game – no matter how much was happening on the screen
  • The loading times are amazing compared to the PS4 Pro.
  • The DualSense controller is really fun with its haptic feedback and adaptive triggers.
ps5 delivery title01
PS5 with the new DualSense controller

This annoys me: But still, there is one thing that really annoys me about the new PlayStation. Although one could have seen it coming, I did not think it would actually bother me so much in the end. It’s about the available storage space.

Yes, the PS5 has an ultra-fast SSD. And you can feel that – whether with new or old titles. But if you do not remove the pre-installed Astro’s Playroom, you will only have 667 GB of free storage for games, apps, and media available.

The problem is: If you like to have multiple games on the console that you switch between, the 667 GB can fill up quite quickly.

I have

  • Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War
  • Call of Duty: Modern Warfare including Warzone
  • Destiny 2
  • The Division 2
  • as well as some smaller games like Dead Cells

on the PlayStation 5. I also had Elite Dangerous, Spider-Man, or Anthem on it in between. But I always had to delete them again because for example Call of Duty could not install an update – not enough space…

In short: I had to nearly halve my regular circle of favorite games that I also had installed on my PS4 Pro on the PS5. Not by storage space but by the number of games.

What is also problematic: Yes, you can connect external hard drives or SSDs to the PS5. However, PS5 games cannot be stored on them and only run on the internal PS5 SSD, as they are designed for its high speed. External SSDs or storage media are only intended for PS4 games. But when I see how quickly The Division 2 loads on the PS5, I don’t want to move this game to a slower drive.

But unfortunately, you cannot currently expand the fast internal storage of the PlayStation 5 – and that is what annoys me the most so far or the only thing at all about the PS5: fast, free storage is scarce and cannot be expanded.

Both PS5 models along with optional accessories

This is the current status regarding storage expansion: It will be possible to expand the PS5 with an internal M.2 SSD that is supposed to be as fast as the already integrated one. However, when that will actually happen – no one knows.

Currently, there is still no official list of certified models that are eligible for use in the PS5. And the designated slot is also initially disabled and is only to be unlocked with a system software update when the time comes.

Sony itself even currently advises against purchasing until it has released further details on recommended drives.

This is what I hope for: I hope that Sony will quickly publish a list of compatible SSDs. Because there are still one or two games that I would like to have on the console without having to sacrifice the others. And to be honest, people quickly get used to good things. And I simply do not want to miss the fast loading times of the PS5 – not even with my old PS4 gems. Before I got the PS5, I didn’t see that as a problem, but now it annoys me much more than I anticipated.

How do you currently view the PS5? How is it with you? What do you think so far of the PS5? What do you like best about the new console? What annoys you?

Or are you still worried about your PlayStation and hoping to receive it soon or even this year?

FIFA 21 TOTW 9: Predictions for the new Team of the Week – featuring Ronaldo & Haaland

Next Wednesday, November 25, EA will release the new TOTW 9 (Team of the Week) in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team. But which players could be included? We will let you know who might earn a spot in the new Team of the Week. Haaland and Ronaldo are highly favored.

What is the Team of the Week? Every week, EA Sports assembles a new TOTW. This team consists of 23 players who have shown outstanding performances over the last football weekend.

As a reward, they receive a place in the Team of the Week as well as upgraded Inform cards, which can then be found in packs for one week in Packs .

What are TOTW predictions? Even before the release of the official Team of the Week, the FUT community discusses and speculates. The result is predictions for the Team of the Week based on the performances of real footballers.

They provide a good overview of the supposed TOTW cards. However, the official TOTW can still differ significantly from the predictions.

Additionally, the predictions can be wonderfully used to earn some coins in FUT 21. Here, we will reveal how this works:

Possible Bundesliga players in TOTW 9

These players from the Bundesliga could make it:

Erling Haaland: After the incredibly strong performance by Haaland in the 5:2 victory over Hertha Berlin, the Norwegian forward simply has to be in the next Team of the Week. His 4 goals should be argument enough.

This is what Haaland’s TOTW card could look like

Aleksandar Dragović had a really strong game and secured victory for Leverkusen with his goal in the 88th minute against Arminia Bielefeld. He could very well earn a TOTW card for that. We will know more on Wednesday.

Jean-Philippe Mateta scored all 3 goals against SC Freiburg in Mainz’s 3:1 victory. A TOTW card seems certain for the Frenchman.

When is TOTW 9 coming? The Team of the Week 9 will be released on Wednesday, November 25, at 7:00 PM in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team.

Get 2 free goodies in CoD Cold War and show that you are a typical nerd

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has a deal with the manufacturers of the snacks Doritos and Mountain Dew. You can get these popular snacks in the USA for free and use them as weapon talismans and emblems in the game. Here’s how you can do it at MeinMMO.

What are the goodies about? In Call of Duty: Cold War, there are weapon talismans and emblems that you can stick on your weapons. Recently, a talisman in the shape of a Dorito nacho chip and an animated green explosion representing the soft drink brand Mountain Dew were added to the selection.

Both Mountain Dew, a sweet soft drink with a high caffeine content, and cheesy Dorito chips are often associated with internet nerds and gamers and are part of memes and comedy bits.

We have embedded a clip from YouTuber boogie2988, who portrays the character of a typical, Mountain Dew-drinking nerd named Francis.

Francis embodies the stereotype of the typical internet nerd. Mountain Dew is part of that.

Get codes for Doritos and Mountain Dew in CoD Cold War

To get the weapon talisman and the animated emblem, you don’t have to do much. Just send a private message on Twitter to the official account of Mountain Dew and use the hashtag #DoritosDewDrop. You also need to follow the Mountain Dew account on Twitter. Then, you should receive a code in a subsequent private message. However, it may take some time, as responses are probably not automatically generated.

You enter the code on the official code redemption page of CoD Cold War. If everything worked, you can then stick a single cheesy chip piece on your weapon in the gunsmith or use the green explosion emblem. Have fun showing your opponents the full power of your stereotype nerdiness.

By the way, Doritos and CoD have had joint promotions before. They didn’t always go smoothly, as the name of the current CoD Cold War was leaked through a promo code on a Dorito bag.

The association between Mountain Dew and gamers is also highlighted by an incident from recent times. Pepsi, the company behind Mountain Dew, offered the popular streamer ludwig a Twitch bounty for promoting a special gamer-optimized version of Mountain Dew during his stream. Unfortunately, he accidentally revealed his substantial advertising revenue to the public during the stream.

Fortnite: Everything about the End of Season 4 and the Start of Season 5

The end of Season 4 in Fortnite is approaching. Season 5 of Chapter 2 will start soon with a new battle pass, changes to the map, and a new theme. We will take a look at what is already known about the start and end dates and what theories are circulating.

What is currently happening in Fortnite? In Season 4, superheroes from the Marvel universe entered the Fortnite world. This included some map changes and even the entire battle pass is dedicated to the superheroes.

But players can not only pretend to be heroes, as Marvel characters can also be found as mini-bosses on the map and players can fight them for their special powers.

von Eilyn Rapp

But now the question is slowly arising about the end of Season 4 and the next theme of Season 5 Chapter 2. In this article, we will show you what we know so far.

We will update the article for you as soon as there are new information about the end of Season 4 or the start of Season 5.

When does Season 4 Chapter 2 end in Fortnite?

When does Season 14 end? According to the battle pass, Season 4 Chapter 2 was supposed to end on Monday, November 30, 2020. However, it is already known that the live event will take place on December 1.

Season 4 seems to end along with the event. However, it is still unclear whether it will continue immediately with the new season.

Theories about the end of Season 4 – Is there a live event?

What theories are there about the end of Season 14? At the end of Season 3, we did not have a live event. Only the conclusion of Season 2 brought an event where a huge storm was triggered and flooded the map. But what about a live event now?

When will the live event take place? Epic has officially announced the event now. On December 1 at 10:00 PM, players will face off against the villain Galactus and try to save the island.

von Patrick Freese

Galactus is already on the way, as you can now spot him in the trajectory of the island when looking at the challenge table. On the map itself, you can also see him in the sky since update 14.30.

Data miners have already found the first clues about the Season 4 live event. It is even possible that the dreaded black hole will visit us again. So it remains exciting to see what awaits us at the end of the Nexus war.

When does Season 5 start?

When will Season 5 Chapter 2 arrive? An exact start date is not yet known. Season 4 is expected to end immediately after the live event on December 1.

However, if a similar situation occurs as with the black hole, the start of Season 5 could be delayed by a few days. But new hints point to a start of Season 5 a few hours after the live event.

But keep in mind that this has not been officially confirmed and a lot could still change.

The Battle Pass of Season 5

What will the next battle pass likely cost? So far, the battle passes have always cost 950 V-Bucks, the version with 25 tiers in advance cost 2,800 V-Bucks. It is unlikely that these prices will change.

We will probably only find out what the theme of the battle pass will be once the first teasers for Season 4 are released. However, a leak from Epic suggests that we can expect Baby Yoda for Season 5.

Did Fortnite really show Baby Yoda for the Season 5 Battle Pass?
von Eilyn Rapp

The Creative Director of Epic Games gave some hints in a podcast about what we can expect in the future in Fortnite. However, it is still unclear if this is planned for the next season. Also, some sci-fi items were seen, which would fit with Baby Yoda.

Will there be changes to the map for Season 5?

Could the map change again? The Marvel season already brought several changes to the map. There are large land masses that are placed on the map. For Iron Man’s hideout Stark Industries, a huge mass was placed.

If the theme changes completely for the next season, it is likely that there will be changes again. Additionally, the Nexus war could create chaos on the map. After all, the devourer of worlds Galactus is on the way, and players are supposed to save the island during the live event. So we will have to wait and see what else is to come.

Could Galactus completely turn the map upside down?

There is still not much information about Season 5, but there are some insights for the live event that will take place soon. Soon we will probably see what is coming our way. There is already a new feature with the Houseparty app, so you can literally see your friends in the game. Through this collaboration you even get a cool item for free.

WoW: How to get to the launch in the Shadowlands

In a few hours, WoW: Shadowlands will launch. But how do you get to the Shadowlands? Where does the quest start?

Tonight, it finally begins, right at 12:00 AM, World of Warcraft: Shadowlands launches and ushers in the era of the 8th expansion. But how do you actually get to the Shadowlands and where does the journey start? Do you need to visit a specific location and do you need a quest to start?

More on the topic
World of Warcraft: Shadowlands – Gewinnspiel
von MeinMMO

How do you get the quest? To receive the quest, you must, of course, have purchased the “Shadowlands” expansion. Then you only need a character at level 48 or higher. The character should receive a quest automatically at midnight – or shortly thereafter. But make sure you also have space in your quest log! You should quickly get rid of old quests.

If you do not receive the quest immediately at midnight, it may be necessary to log out and log back in. This has helped many players in previous expansions. However, please keep in mind that you only log out until character selection and do not completely close the game. Otherwise, you will have to go through the login servers and this can indeed become a problem at release, as they are often overloaded.

WoW Bolvar Elf Asking title title 1280x720
The start is simple – the quest begins automatically.

How do you get to Shadowlands? Basically, the questline is self-explanatory. After a visit to your capital (Stormwind or Orgrimmar), it leads you to Icecrown, where the former Lich King Bolvar Fordragon inspects the shards of the Helm of Domination. The remaining leaders of the Horde and Alliance plan to venture into the Shadowlands and rescue Anduin, Baine, and the other heroes. You will join them and shortly thereafter find yourself in the Shadowlands – but directly in the Horrific Maw.

The questline in the Maw serves almost as an “introductory scenario” and is meant to clarify what the great threat in the Shadowlands is. You should plan for 30 to 40 minutes for the questline – possibly more if too many players thin out the quest mobs.

After that, you will land in Oribos, the capital in the Shadowlands. From here, you simply follow the offered quests and then begin your journey in the leveling areas of Shadowlands. You cannot get lost and there is also no area selection. The storyline is linear and spans all major zones.

Are you ready for the launch? Will you game all night? Or will you only start when things have calmed down a bit?

Do you still need addons for Shadowlands? We have the most important interface addons here!

FIFA 21: Bellerin’s strong card is available without coins – Here’s what you have to do

The new card of Hector Bellerin in FIFA 21 looks quite stylish, but it will cost a bit of effort. However, it’s worth it.

This is the card: Hector Bellerin has been very popular among FIFA players before, as he offered plenty of speed in the defender position. Even now, his gold card still has a decent 87 in pace. But the new league player card takes it up another notch.

FIFA 21 Bellerin
The new card offers upgrades in all areas

In terms of speed, it gets six points added, along with a noticeable upgrade in all other areas. The new Bellerin card will be an extremely useful option for Premier League teams, but also for squads that include Spanish defenders like Sergio Ramos.

The best thing about the card is that the 85-rated defender is available for exactly 0 coins. Instead of relying on trading on the transfer market or an SBC solution, you can get the Spaniard through objectives. And the effort can definitely be worth it.

Bellerin costs no coins, but a bit of work

How to get Bellerin in the Manager Masterpiece

Why should you get the card? Sure, there are already some good right-backs in the Premier League, like Semedo, Wan Bissaka, or Cancelo. Semedo, being an extremely fast player, costs around 15,000 coins, and Kyle Walker, who is also very fast, costs even 80,000. Bellerin can keep up with both and costs nothing.

Moreover, in December, Icon Swaps will be introduced in the game, after the first Icon SBCs recently went live. Last year, you needed first-owner players, which means cards that you didn’t buy but obtained from packs or SBCs. The Bellerin card would certainly come in handy if that requirement is needed again this year.

Perfect for calm phases: Additionally, you need to complete the Bellerin objectives in the friendship game mode “Manager Masterpiece”. This mode offers a nice change from Division Rivals and Weekend League.

This is especially true if you’ve played Weekend League intensely with 30 matches. At the same time, the game limit for rewards in Division Rivals has likely already been exhausted and will be reset on Thursday. Jumping into friendlies for the Bellerin card is a great opportunity to still earn some rewards.

How to get the card: To get Bellerin, you need to complete several objectives that all take place in the friendship game mode “Manager Masterpiece”.

The Manager Masterpiece allows you to use a team with a maximum overall rating of 77. Bronze players are prohibited, and you can have up to 3 silver players. You can choose whether to invest the overall rating points in individual top players or build a balanced team. The nice thing: you might run into unusual teams. Similar applies to the Silver Lounge.

However, you primarily need Premier League players in your team. Because the objectives are as follows:

  • Win 15 matches in Manager Masterpiece with a starting eleven consisting only of Premier League players
  • Score 30 goals with Premier League players in Manager Masterpiece
  • Assist 20 goals with Premier League players in Manager Masterpiece
  • Assist with crosses in four separate matches in Manager Masterpiece with Premier League players
  • Score a goal with a curled shot in 6 separate matches in Manager Masterpiece with Premier League players.

The tasks aren’t too complicated, as they should naturally occur when winning with Premier League players in the starting eleven. The curled shot is one of the most effective shots in FIFA 21, and with 15 wins, a few cross goals should also come if you focus.

It will just take some time to gather the 15 wins. After all, your opponents in this mode will also want to grab the Bellerin reward. To minimize the number of attempts you need, you can find our tips for more wins in FIFA 21 here.

Although there is a big problem, Dead by Daylight wants to introduce the new killer

The Killer “The Twins” in Dead by Daylight will not be ready at launch. Behaviour still intends to release them.

There is currently a small uproar in the Dead by Daylight community. The cause is the new killer “The Twins” and a significant problem found on the test realm. This issue cannot be resolved quickly. The developers still want to release the killer – and in an unfinished state.

What is the problem? The siblings Charlotte and Victor have some massive weaknesses that the developers apparently only noticed during testing on the PTR. For instance, Victor can be easily ignored or hindered by survivors in several ways, because:

  • Victor cannot hit survivors running around trees. Charging his attack takes so long that survivors can simply continue running around the tree.
  • Survivors who are jumped by Victor can essentially “kidnap” him by just running away with him. Charlotte cannot call Victor back until he downs the respective survivor.
  • Victor cannot interact with lockers. Survivors are completely safe from him while in the locker.
Victor is still causing many problems – unfortunately not for the survivors.

How will it be fixed? The developers have already prepared a few updates and fixes for most of these problems. For the release of the chapter, the following changes are planned:

  • If Victor is not shaken off after 45 seconds, Charlotte can see his aura and call him back on button press directly.
  • Victor moves faster when he wants to perform his leap attack. This way, he can no longer be perpetually pulled around a tree.

However, the most important change will not come in the patch, but only after release, because:

  • Victor will be able to interact with lockers in the future. If he finds a survivor inside, he will hold them captive for a while, while the killer has a few seconds to reach the locker with Charlotte.

Since this last change requires new animations, the implementation will take a while and will not be available at the start of the chapter. Therefore, immediately after release, the locker will be a safe haven against Victor.

Community wishes for more time: Players appreciate that Behaviour is addressing these issues, but they regret that the chapter is still set to be released before all problems are resolved. Here are some opinions from the subreddit:

(…) I am in no way happy with the state of the killer and have no interest in purchasing him in his current state or a theoretical state that might or might not be good under certain circumstances.

Nixthebird

That’s why such a strict release schedule hurts so much for the killer’s balance. If you must adhere to such a strict timeline, then release the test server earlier, damn it!

Deatsu
Do you already know all the killers? Our comprehensive overview gives you the clarity!

Some even say that it completely ruins the anticipation:

This looks like a good first step. But the fact that the locker issue will still exist after release is terrible. It kills all hype for the release and the weeks or months it takes to implement [the fix].

FearFritters

The mood is quite negative. Many hope that Behaviour learns from the problem and takes more time for upcoming chapters to fix such issues.

Recently, Behaviour has been receiving a lot of criticism. There was already a medium-sized shitstorm at Halloween.

Nintendo prohibits large Smash Bros tournament, causing a massive discussion

In December, a major tournament for the classic Super Smash Bros. Melee was supposed to take place. However, Nintendo put a stop to it – much to the dismay of many fans.

Which game is it about? Super Smash Bros. Melee is already 19 years old and has popular successors like Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Yet, the great GameCube game still has a huge following and continues to be played in tournaments.

A tournament was also supposed to take place in December. The tournament series “The Big House” has been running since 2011 with annual events and focuses on several installments of the series – including Melee. This year, the normally in-person event was supposed to be held online for the first time due to the pandemic. It was to feature singles matches in Melee and Ultimate – but Nintendo put a stop to the plan.

Last year, the tournament took place in person – This year it was supposed to be held online

Why is the tournament banned?

Here’s the reason: As the organizers explain on their homepage, they received a cease and desist letter from Nintendo of America. “We were informed that we do not have permission to host and stream the event, especially due to the use of Slippi. Unfortunately, all our competitions are affected,” it says (via umsmash.com).

What is Slippi? Slippi is a fan-created tool that equips the old GameCube title with several online features. But here lies the main problem: In a statement to “Kotaku”, Nintendo explained the situation as follows. They appreciate the love of the “Fighting Game Community” for the Smash Bros. series, but:

“In the past, we have collaborated with numerous Super Smash Bros. tournaments and hosted our own online and offline tournaments for this game, and we plan to continue this support in the future,” the statement reads. “Unfortunately, the upcoming Big House tournament announced that it would host an online tournament for Super Smash Bros. Melee, which would require the use of illegally copied versions of the game in conjunction with a mod called ‘Slippi’ during the online event” (via Kotaku).

The software was not authorized by Nintendo, which is why they contacted the organizers and requested that they refrain from doing so: “They refused and left Nintendo with no choice but to intervene to protect its intellectual property and its brand. Nintendo cannot silently tolerate or allow the piracy of its intellectual property,” the statement continues.

How the community reacts: The ban has sparked some discussions. On reddit, for example, there is a large post with over 18,000 upvotes and 1,600 comments discussing the matter, and the topic trended on Twitter under #FreeMelee. Many players are upset about Nintendo’s ban, especially given the current pandemic situation. There is also a petition with about 10,700 supporters on Change.org, stating: “We can only show Nintendo that we care. If we can get enough people to speak up, maybe they will listen” (via change.org).

Furthermore, there is criticism that all the effort that went into the tournament and the Slippi emulator is being stopped in this way. One of the Slippi developers, Jas “Fizzi36” Laferriere, also spoke out via Twitter and expressed disappointment that Nintendo restricts opportunities to “get through these difficult times”.

While there are also comments siding with Nintendo in this case, a large majority of commenters cannot understand the decision.

Melee seems to have a very large fanbase even after many, many years since its release. This is only partially surprising: Even today, the Smash Bros. installments often rank among the favorites on their respective Nintendo platform. Smash Bros. Ultimate, for example, was among the three most popular games on the Switch.

Godfall – A new action game

Genre: Action-RPG | Developer: Counterplay Games | Platform: PC, PS5 | Release Date: November 12, 2020 | Model: Buy2Play

What kind of game is this? Godfall is an action-RPG that the developers themselves describe as a “loot-slasher”. You take on the role of a god-like warrior. As this warrior, you slash your way through hordes of monsters led by the insane god Macros.

You can do this either alone or with up to 2 friends in co-op mode. For Godfall, however, you must be permanently online, whether in single or multiplayer.

godfall gameplay details header
You take on the role of an overpowered warrior and fight against an insane god.

These are the highlights of Godfall

The idea behind Godfall is similar to the game Destiny 2, only instead of guns, you rely entirely on melee weapons and a fantasy scenario. However, the action-RPG principle sounds promising:

  • Godfall relies on fast action, but also tactical approaches
  • There are combos from different attacks
  • The class system is reminiscent of Warframe. It depends on your armor, the Valor Plates. This should allow you to variably adapt your playstyle depending on the mission
  • The focus of Godfall is on the ever-new loot

Here’s why you should play Godfall in November

On November 12, Godfall will be released as one of the launch titles for the PS5 but also for PC. If you are looking for a fun game and want to slay hordes of enemies, keep an eye on this action game. Especially the graphics have already impressed in early trailers.

However, some of our readers on MeinMMO have expressed concerns about the gameplay. For Aeekto, it looks too generic.

WoW: Don’t worry, you can take your time in Shadowlands

Stress and rush while leveling in WoW: Shadowlands? No, you can save yourselves the trouble. The developers have given the all-clear.

The release of World of Warcraft: Shadowlands is on a Tuesday, just under 24 hours before the weekly reset on Wednesday. Many players planned to level up quickly to reach level 60 and fully utilize the “first ID”. But now there’s the all-clear. Speed leveling offers no advantage.

What was the players’ plan? Many players intended to make a real sprint on the launch night of Shadowlands and immediately rush to max level 60. After all, there are almost 30 hours in Europe before the weekly reset occurs and certain weekly caps are reset. Some planned to storm Torghast in the first night to collect Soul Ash for legendary items or to work on their Covenant’s reputation.

But that won’t happen.

What did Blizzard say? A range of game content will be accessible only with the first weekly reset. This happens in Europe on Wednesday, November 25 – just over a full day after the original launch. Only at that time will the following content be accessible:

  • Mythic dungeons
  • The Tower of Torghast
  • The 1st weekly reputation quest for your Covenant

Why is Blizzard doing this? Hazzikostas explained in the tweet that it would create a “level playing field” for all players worldwide. No one misses out on anything by not reaching level 60 on the very first day.

This is how Blizzard has mostly handled things in the past. This has the advantage that all players can level at their own pace and take their time to explore and enjoy the new areas and quests.

So don’t stress yourself unnecessarily on Tuesday. Mythic dungeons and other endgame activities will be unlocked only from Wednesday onwards. So you can take a few days to enjoy the new world and story before diving into the endgame.

That should be the best decision for most players.

Already seen? Coinciding with the launch Blizzard banned the first multiboxers.

The new update in Pokémon GO will be awesome, but it could ruin my trainer career

The big “GO Beyond” update changes quite a bit in Pokémon GO. MeinMMO editor Noah Struthoff is excited about it, but fears a new feature.

What’s happening in Pokémon GO: This week, Niantic dropped the bomb and announced the “GO Beyond” update. This brings several new features:

As a long-time trainer who has been at level 40 for a while, I’m really excited about the new maximum level. Finally, my XP grind has meaning again! However, a small adjustment that has gone unnoticed among all the hype worries me. It could jeopardize my beloved catch trick.

Revision of the catch system could be fatal

What Niantic announced: At the very bottom of the news surrounding level 50, there is still a heading: “Far-reaching changes to Pokémon GO gameplay”. At first glance, this looks really good, but among other things, the catch system is supposed to be revised, and I don’t find that good at all.

What could happen to the catch system? That’s certainly a good question. The current catch system has a “bug” that makes playing Pokémon GO significantly easier: The catch trick.

With the catch trick, you can skip all the animations when catching – that is, the ball wobbling, the overview of the earned XP, and even the view of the Pokémon after you’ve caught it.

Anyone who masters this trick well saves about 10 seconds for each Pokémon. If you multiply that by just 100 Pokémon caught in a day, that’s 16 minutes. Quite a bit of time you can save with just 100 Pokémon.

Catch trick
The catch trick saves a lot of time but could soon be history.

Why could this ruin my trainer career? For me, the catch trick is essential and I can no longer play Pokémon GO without it. I have saved hours of time, if not even days.

Now Niantic wants to revise the catch system and this “bug” could suffer. After all, it’s a mistake that shouldn’t actually be in the game. However, thousands of trainers use this catch trick in reality, and I certainly wouldn’t be the only one who would suffer from its removal.

If the catch trick actually disappears, my trainer career could indeed suffer massively. Even if I spend the same amount of time on Pokémon GO, I could not play as successfully as I do now.

What gives me hope: So far, it has only been an announcement, and it remains to be seen how significant this adjustment actually is.

I can’t imagine that Niantic would want to upset thousands of trainers. Perhaps the new catch system is even tailored to these trainers, and you can skip the catch animation without exploiting bugs.

In any case, I’m curious to see what the adjustment will ultimately result in. In general, I’m really looking forward to the update and new challenges that come with it.

Twitch punishes 4 more streamers after xQc for cheating: “We just wanted to entertain”

After the currently largest streamer on Twitch, Canadian Felix “xQc” Lengyel, was banned, the penalties surrounding a Fall Guys tournament at Twitch Rivals are now extending further. Several streamers have received penalties – and they are showing remorse.

What happened?

But it’s not over yet for xQc. Several streamers have now received penalties in connection with the tournament and are facing bans.

Streamers receive bans, apologize

As announced on the official Twitch Rivals channel on Twitter, streamers Nightblue3, Mendo, GrandPooBear, and Tfue are also receiving penalties due to the Fall Guys tournament.

After the consequences against xQc, the tournament was further investigated, and it was concluded that the other streamers should also be penalized. Nightblue, Mendo, and GrandPooBear will receive a six-month ban from Twitch Rivals and must return their prizes because they cooperated while stream-sniping, attempting to influence the game of their opposing team. Additionally, the three streamers will also receive a temporary ban on Twitch – the penalty is therefore the same as that of xQc.

Tfue is treated separately: He must also return his prize money because he did not inform the admins about the actions of his teammates. However, he will not receive a ban from Twitch Rivals or Twitch itself because he did not directly participate in the cheating.

As with the original xQc ban, the penalties for the other streamers are also being extensively discussed in the comments. The streamers themselves have already spoken out:

FIFA 21: 4 cards that ruin rewards for everyone regularly

Of course, you can also be lucky and win real gems from the packs. But the probabilities for top players are usually significantly lower than for cards that are just not very useful.

Do you also have cards that no one wants but you keep getting? Tell us in the comments! And if you’re looking for decent cards, then check out our Bundesliga overview.

Rewards in FIFA 21 are quite nice, aren’t they? The clear answer: Well! After all, there are plenty of cards that can ruin your beautiful rewards day in the most mean-spirited way.

It’s the classic moment: After great efforts, you have battled your way to 11 victories in the Weekend League. This secures qualification for the next time – but the Gold Rank 3 with its delicious two Player Picks from the TOTW is only three wins away.

When a new rank is in sight, it can sometimes be hard to put down the controller. After all, every weekend could be the magical moment when you suddenly shoot beyond your limits and qualify for the best rewards of all time.

Even in Rivals and Squad Battles, one often thinks: “Whatever, I’ll make it to the next rank.” Then you muster the will again, push through a few more matches, and maybe even succeed. Every FUT player knows this struggle – from beginner to elite kicker.

The nice thing is: In FIFA 21, you can be sure that the stress around rewards is always worth it. Wait, what? That’s not true? Oh right, that’s correct. For truly strong rewards, you need a whole lot of luck.

Instead of Messi, Ronaldo, and Neymar, it’s often unfortunately rather cards like the following that hide in the hard-earned packs – and which ruin the rewards for many players time and again.

Special Cards with No Special Values

What exactly are these special cards? Many players wondered this when the very special Champions League cards first appeared. The strange thing: These cards have a nice color, but no other special values. They are occasionally needed for SBCs or tasks, but that’s generally it. The same applies to the dark Conmebol cards.

There’s a beautiful fireworks display that makes you hope for a great card during the pack opening – but often it is such cards that come out in the end.

“Special” they are, but not “great”

Especially insidious: These cards are often the ones shown to you as “the grand prize” in the pack during the pack opening. This means that even if you happen to hit a good gold player who would actually be a Walkout, they get pushed to the back – and you see the wonderful Conmebol card instead. This is a nuisance that is repeatedly criticized in the community (via reddit).

Really Rewarding Player Picks

Player Picks are among the most exciting rewards for which one plays the Weekend League. Guaranteed TOTW players in a nice red form – genius, right?

For such a yield, one plays Weekend League with pleasure!

Theoretically, that’s right. But unfortunately, the TOTWs don’t always only contain the Ronaldos and Mbappés of this world, but also players who might make the whole grind a bit less worth it. These are completely average cards that are neither really useful in SBCs nor sellable on the market. And for that, you battle for Gold 3 rank!

Goalkeeper, Because You Always Need One More

Yes, of course: Every team needs a decent goalkeeper. This also applies in Ultimate Team, where Manuel Neuer, De Gea, or Courtois can simply save more than some amateur from the local league. But how many clubs need 20 to 30 goalkeepers?

Neuer
Maybe your reward is a Messi. But maybe it’s also Manuel Neuer.

The number might be a bit exaggerated, but the problem is real: Too often, it’s goalkeepers you pull from your packs that then take the place of high-rated players. They bring little on the transfer market, and you only need one keeper.

If the goalkeepers are also untradeable, which is the case for some SBC rewards nowadays, you can see where to put the third top keeper in the club. If in doubt, he has to go into an SBC, but due to his position he only helps to a limited extent.

The Inexpensive Average Player

This might be a bit far-fetched, as these players mainly fill packs. But it’s astonishing: How many players in packs do you not even look at because they have a value of 75 to 82, bring 700 coins on the market, and are just kind of “there”?

FIFA 21 Durchschnitt
There are an incredible number of players in FUT. Many are unfortunately hardly useful.

These players are the ones that basically only serve to pump quick coins into the club – but not so many that you could do anything meaningful with. You open the pack, see your Conmebol player, and sell all the other average players in a quick sale for a few sad coins into the vast FUT world. The classic pack from hell that one pulls way too often.

Of course, you can also be lucky and win real gems from the packs. But the probabilities for top players are usually significantly lower than for cards that are just not very useful.
