PS5: All confirmed games that utilize new features of the DualSense controller

Which PS5 games actually benefit from the new features of the DualSense controller? What features are these anyway and how are they used? Here you will find a list of all confirmed games so far and learn which features of the new PS5 controller they utilize.

What is the DualSense anyway? Soon, Sony’s next-gen console PlayStation 5 will be released. In the USA, Canada, Japan, and several other countries, it will be available on November 12. In Germany and the rest of Europe, the PS5 will be released on November 19, so a week later.

And with the new console comes a new controller – the DualSense. This device offers several cool new features. But which ones exactly?

These are the main features of the PS5 controller:

  • Haptic Feedback: This allows the DualSense to create vibrations that provide much more feedback than with the DualShock 4. The gaming experience is meant to feel significantly more realistic. There should be noticeable differences depending on the type of road surface, the intensity with which a ball is kicked, or which weapon is reloaded.
  • Adaptive Triggers: The shoulder buttons can produce varying degrees of resistance when pressed, contributing to a more intense gaming experience in different scenarios. The trigger of different weapons feels different.
  • Integrated Gyroscope: The DualSense is the only next-gen controller that has a gyroscope, enabling features like gyro-aiming.
  • Integrated Speaker and Microphone: In addition to a speaker, the new PS5 controller now has an integrated microphone that you can use in party chat as well as in games.

These PS5 games benefit from the new controller features

New features such as adaptive triggers (AT) or haptic feedback (HF) sound promising and interesting. But which PS5 games benefit from these functions? User Praedyth on the discussion platform ResetEra compiled all confirmed games along with their confirmed features and sources. Here is the current status:

  • Astro’s Playroom: Essentially a kind of showcase for the new DualSense. All new features of the PS5 controller are presented to you in various creative ways.
  • Marvel’s Avengers – The developers plan to support adaptive triggers and haptic feedback, but did not provide specific details.
  • NBA 2K21 – Adaptive triggers are supposed to simulate the energy or fatigue of the athletes, while the haptic feedback is meant to make collisions tangible.
  • The Pathless – AT simulate the tension of the bowstring, while the HF helps you time the shot correctly.
  • Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered – Here, both the AT and the HF of the DualSense are expected to be utilized – currently without further details.
  • Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition – AT and HF here ensure that different weapons feel different.
  • Oddworld: Soulstorm – AT simulate the effort.
  • Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War – Here, HF is supported.
  • Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales – The HF supports the feel of Miles’s Venom powers.
  • Overcooked! All You Can Eat – So far, there has only been a small teaser for the support of the new DualSense features.
  • Ride 4 – AT simulate the intensity of gas and brakes. The HF provides the vibrations of the motorcycles.
  • Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart – AT simulate multiple fire modes of weapons.
  • Nour: Play With Your Food – Here it is currently only known that features like AT and HF are expected to be supported.
  • Deathloop – The blocking with the AT simulates, for example, a weapon jam.
  • Ghostwire: Tokyo – AT simulate the recoil and HF provides further tangible nuances here.
  • Horizon Forbidden West – AT are used here to create different weapon feels.
  • Demon’s Souls – HF lets you feel the might of the bosses when blocking, provides feedback during parries, successful attacks, and spells.
  • Godfall – The DualSense and its functions help players distinguish between weapons without looking at the user interface. Additionally, enemies can be spatially located using the controller.
  • Sackboy: A Big Adventure – AT simulate fatigue/effort when Sackboy carries objects. The AT also come into play with the grappling hook.
  • Gran Turismo 7 – AT simulate among other things the ABS of the brakes, and the HF is even integrated into the sound design.
  • Hood: Outlaws & Legends – The developers have confirmed the use of HF here.
  • Heavenly Bodies – Many features of the DualSense are used here.
  • Goodbye Volcano High – HF ensures that the weight of some decisions you make becomes tangible.
  • Jett: The Far Shore – The developers only revealed that the game has a strong focus on haptics. No further details have been provided.
  • Solar Ash – The developers mentioned that the DualSense provides feedback that they didn’t even know was possible. Specific features were not disclosed.
  • Bugsnax – The developers promised full utilization of the DualSense features. They mentioned experimentation with multi-sensory feedback, citing changing terrain that should feel distinct.
  • Maneater – Here, it is only known that DualSense features are supported.
  • DiRT 5 – Also here, it is only known that the capabilities of the DualSense controller are expected to be utilized.
  • Madden 21 – Here, HF is expected to be used.
  • FIFA 21 – So far, only HF has been mentioned as a feature.
  • Returnal – AT are supposed to provide noticeably different fire modes, but HF is also expected to be supported.
  • Watch Dogs: Legion – So far, it is only known that haptic feedback is to be utilized.
  • Destruction AllStars – AT provide different feedback for the various cars, while HF simulates the impact during collisions.
  • Rock Band 4 – Supports the DualSense microphone for singing.
PS5 Controller PS4 Controller Title

What about PS4 games? Sony has already clarified that you will need a DualSense controller to play PS5 games; with your PS4 controller, you cannot play PS5 games. However, PS4 games can also be played on the PS5 with a PS4 controller.

It is unknown whether you can use the PS5 controller on the PS4. However, if you can play PS4 games with the DualSense, it will most likely happen without the new features.

These must also be supported by the respective game, which so far no PS4 game does – at least according to current information. Whether that might be realized in the future through next-gen upgrades remains to be seen.

FIFA 21: Players complain about issues with half-high crosses – This is the solution

In FIFA 21 the weekly challenge in Ultimate Team currently requires a “low cross” from players. However, this does not seem to work at the moment.

Update, October 21: The problem has apparently been resolved. Although the task description still states “low cross,” you can now complete the weekly challenge simply with a normal cross – just using the square button (PS4) or the X button (Xbox One). If you use a midfielder with at least 82 dribbling for the assist, it should be accepted as “completed” for you as well.

In the test attempt, the task was accepted as “completed” after a normal cross

If it doesn’t work right away: In our test, we only charged the cross enough for our players to shoot the ball into the goal and not head it. This might fulfill the “low” part of the task. If your players instead score with a header after a high cross and the task is not accepted as complete, try this variant again.

Here continues with the original message.

Where is the problem? Currently, in Ultimate Team the weekly challenges of Week 2 are available. The weekly challenges are a way to earn XP for seasonal progress. The more XP you collect, the closer you get to the highest rewards.

The challenges of Week 2 present you with various tasks to master. But in the Gold section, which is the last part of the tasks, there is a problem.

There you will find the task “Assist in Rivals”. It states:

  • Prepare 1 goal in Rivals with a midfielder (min. 82 dribbling) via low cross.
FIFA 21 low cross
This is what the current weekly task looks like

So you need a dribbling-strong player in the positions LM, RM, CAM, CM, or CDM, and you must make an assist in a very specific way in Division Rivals. That is already hard enough, but it seems that the task is currently also faulty.

Low cross causes confusion – Is there a mistake in the task?

How does a low cross work? This question is currently being asked by several players. The problem is: When you look at the control prompts of FIFA 21, there is no type of cross that is explicitly defined as a “low cross”.

Low cross FIFA 21
The “low” cross is missing in the control overview

In the overview, you can find various crosses that go beyond the standard cross. However, “low” is not one of them. The English variant does not provide clarity either. Here, a “Low Cross” is required, but the control overview only offers “Ground Cross” and “Driven Cross.” Instead, several other crosses could be meant since they come in “flatter” than normal crosses:

  • The “Flat Cross,” which you need to perform by pressing double square (PS4) or double X (Xbox One). In the past, it was often the “Flat Cross” that was required in tasks.
  • The “Full Power Cross,” which is executed with R1 + square / RB + X.
  • The “Flat Full Power Cross,” which is executed with R1 + double square / RB + double X.

The problem: Currently, none of these crosses seem to work for success. Players report this in the FIFA subreddit:

  • “I have tried R1 and cross, R2-cross, pressing cross multiple times, nothing works,” comments user “lovekagawa” (via reddit).
  • “It didn’t work for me either. Really frustrating because it is a decent amount of XP for a simple objective,” comments another user (via reddit).

Players are also looking for a solution in the EA Answers forum, but none seems to have been found so far. Users report that different types of crosses did not lead to success – and they even lost matches because they were focusing on the complicated way of scoring (via EA).

Many players suspect that it is simply a registration error – that is, the task performed correctly is just not recognized as completed. In the newly introduced problem tracker of EA Sports, no corresponding entry has appeared yet. We will keep you updated on this issue as soon as a solution is found.

Have you been able to solve the crossing problem? If so, let us know in the comments! And here you can find some super subs for Ultimate Team that can give you the decisive advantage after being substituted in.

In World of Warcraft you can now look as silly as possible

The cash shop of World of Warcraft has a new addition. You can now look like a fairy dragon in the game. However, that is only received “so-so”.

In recent years, it has become a tradition in World of Warcraft to bring something new to the cash shop at least every 6 months. Most of the time, these are mounts, but occasionally also toys or – as in the latest case – a set for transmogrification. This time, however, it is not dark or impressive, but rather cute to silly. You can dress up as a fairy dragon.

What kind of set is this? The Grimmlingflitzerflügel set is not only quite a tongue twister, but also certainly a eye-catcher. With the whole outfit, you look like a fairy dragon. The set includes the entire clothing, from head to foot.

Check out how silly it looks here:

Link to the YouTube content

How can you get the set? The set is available in the game’s shop for €20. However, you also get the set for free as a bonus if you subscribe for 6 months by no later than December 14, 2020, or already have such a subscription. If you already have a 6-month subscription, you should receive the Grimmlingflitzerflügel set within the next few days.

The first set with permanent wings: The Grimmlingflitzerflügel set is therefore the first transmogrification in World of Warcraft that grants players permanent wings. While they have no gameplay use, they look quite unique. With the Shadowlands expansion, by the way, wings are also available for all other players. Gliders and similar transmogrifications are part of the unlockable set of covenants.

Those who sign up for a 6-month subscription will receive the set as a free bonus.

Comments are overwhelmingly negative: On YouTube, the set is received rather poorly. There are a lot of dislikes on the announcement video and the best-rated comments are quite devastating. The video has received almost 90% “thumbs down”. Among them are sayings like:

  • “May God help Blizzard Entertainment.”
  • “You are becoming one of the other games we don’t want to play.”
  • “This is a cool Fortnite skin.”
  • “This is a monument for us clowns who keep playing this game.”
  • “The only real WoW killer is WoW itself.”
  • “I have a 6-month subscription – can I return it so I don’t get this monstrosity?”

There are also positive comments, but they are rather rare and found far down – many likes do not get them.

Cortyn says: Honestly, I am not that shocked by this transmog set. Of course, it looks a bit silly, but from a role-playing perspective, I find it quite nice – especially concerning the Hallow’s End. And it’s perfect for messing around a bit with friends.

But I also understand the criticism that such a set should be available in the game, if at all, and not for real money. Not everyone can sign up for a 6-month subscription. But that is a discussion that comes up every six months when something new appears in the shop.

What do you think of this set? Do you find it funny and entertaining? Or is it just another step towards the downfall of WoW?

Currently, WoW players are a bit irritable – because one thing from patch 9.0 is annoying them significantly.

Fortnite server down – What is in update 14.40 today?

Today, on Wednesday, October 21, the Fortnite servers will go down on all platforms (PC/Mac, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, Android). During this time, the new Update 14.40 will be applied. What’s included in the new patch?

What’s happening today in Fortnite? The Update 14.40 will be applied today on all platforms. Fortnite Status announced the patch on Twitter. This could be the Halloween update and bring some spooky content.

Update 10:45 AM: The Update 14.40 is now here. We will show you in the German patch notes what has changed in the game.

Before players can explore the map and try out all the changes, as usual, the servers will be taken down.

Fortnite servers will be taken down – when and for how long?

Downtime starts in the morning: The downtime for Update 14.40 will start again today at 10:00 AM German time. At 9:30 AM, you can join a new round one last time, after which the servers will be taken down and Fortnite will be down for a short time.

How long will the maintenance work take? Based on experiences from the past weeks and months, the work should be completed around lunchtime.

Fortnite Fresh Question Title
Before players can explore the changes from the update, the servers will be taken down

If technical issues or other delays occur, they may lead to an extension of the maintenance work. Should this happen, you will hear about it here on MeinMMO.

When will the patch notes be released? Based on experiences from the last updates in Fortnite, there will likely be no or only roughly explained patch notes for the Battle Royale mode.

However, we will collect the most important changes and publish them in the form of German patch notes for you.

What new content does Update 14.40 bring?

What’s new in the Battle Royale mode? Fortnite Status has hidden a small hint that could be a clue to a Halloween update.

That would make sense, as Halloween is just around the corner, and thus the Fortnitemares, which have taken place every year so far. Some hints and leaks about the Fortnitemares 2020 have already been found.

So we can be excited to see if the spooky atmosphere awaits us already today after the update.

fortnite-halloween-skins
Will it be spooky on the map already after the update?

What does the update bring for the mode “Save the World”? The PvE mode of Fortnite is already in Halloween mood. Here you can let loose in the Fortnite Nightmares.

The Fortnite Nightmares will accompany players until November 20. Since Save the World is no longer in Early Access, Epic has announced that there will not be as many updates for the PvE mode as before.

Borderlands 3 reveals Amara’s and FL4K’s new abilities – What do they have?

The new abilities of FL4K and Amara in Borderlands 3 have been introduced. What new skills do the two Vault Hunters get?

When do the skill trees come? The new skill trees for the Vault Hunters will arrive with a new DLC. The “Designer’s Cut” releases on November 10 and brings not only the new abilities but also a new mode.

It’s been known for a while that our Vault Hunters would receive new abilities. Now, Amara’s and FL4K’s skills have been detailed.

Amara now shoots with an elemental orb

This is included in Amara’s new skills: Amara’s new skill tree is called “Enlightened Might” and introduces the new action skill “Phaseflare”. The Phaseflare is a huge orb of elemental energy that you can then volley around with melee attacks and cause it to explode. It deals damage to nearby enemies and is especially effective when it directly collides with them.

Amara Skill
Amara can fire a large orb at enemies

Additionally, Amara’s new skill tree grants her the ability to convert her elemental damage to Cryo, allowing for many frozen enemies. You can then easily clear them with the Phaseflare.

The ultimate ability in the tree is called “Free the Spirit” and allows Amara to ignore the elemental resistances (but not immunities) of her enemies for a certain period after a kill. There are also skills that increase her speeds when reloading and switching weapons or reduce the cooldown of her skills. You can see the new skill tree in action, for example, with YouTuber ThiccFilA during the Maliwan Takedown:

FL4K hunts with a new pet

This is included in FL4K’s new skills: In FL4K’s new skill tree “Trapper”, enemies will face a new pet. From now on, FL4K can also send a Loader Bot against your foes. There are various variants: depending on the skills, your bot can use rockets, a sniper, or a shotgun.

FL4K Loader Bot
FL4K has a new buddy with him

Additionally, FL4K receives the new action skill “Gravity Trap”. This trap is meant to hold enemies in place for a long time, so your pets can rush in on them.

The action skill also provides several abilities that are supposed to make FL4K more resilient. The new ultimate ability “Capacity” grants a higher shield capacity directly and shields that recharge immediately when FL4K activates his action skill. He can now also give his pets a copy of his shield.

Of course, Moze and Zane will also receive new abilities as part of the DLC. These will be introduced later this week. Additionally, the new mode for Borderlands 3 will be showcased in more detail next week.

It is also certain that Borderlands 3 will be available on next-gen consoles right at launch. You can find out why the game could be worth it on PS5 and Xbox Series X here.

Pokémon GO: New Monsters for Halloween 2020? – 11 possible candidates

The Halloween event 2020 is just around the corner in Pokémon GO and could also bring first Pokémon from Generation 6. We show you the possible candidates for it.

What speaks for new Pokémon? Halloween is usually one of the biggest events of the year in Pokémon GO. Since 2017, the Ghost Pokémon of a generation have been introduced every year:

The Halloween event 2020 has already been announced, but it only stated that Ghost Pokémon would appear more frequently. Which ghosts are meant is unclear.

So we could also expect new Pokémon in 2020. Galar-Makabaja has already been announced, but also first Pokémon from Gen 6 are conceivable. After all, this generation was teased for the first time months ago.

Here we show you some candidates that one might expect this year. However, keep in mind that these are just speculations.

Zorua and Zoroark

What kind of Pokémon are these? These Pokémon do not come from Gen 6, but from Generation 5. So far, they have not yet found their way into the game – Halloween would be a good start.

Zoroark is actually quite a useful Pokémon. It only reaches 2571 CP, but has a solid attack value of 250. As an alternative among the Dark-type attackers, it is therefore not to be underestimated.

Zorua and Zoroark Pokémon GO

What speaks for a release at Halloween? Zorua and Zoroark are Dark types and do not look very scary at first glance. However, in 2018, Skunkapuh also made its way into the game through Halloween, and that monster does not exactly radiate much terror either.

Additionally, in October, Dark-type Pokémon were introduced through the Curiosity Eggs. Zorua and Zoroark were not among them. They might have been saved for the Halloween event.

Quabbel and Apoquallyp

What kind of Pokémon are these? These monsters also come from Generation 5 and are the only Ghost Pokémon from the Unova region that are still not in the game.

However, these monsters are not really useful. Apoquallyp can reach a maximum of 2338 CP and is also not useful in the PvP league.

Quabbel and Apoquallyp Pokémon GO

What speaks for a release at Halloween? They are Ghost Pokémon and they are still missing. Just this should be enough to consider them as strong candidates.

However, it must also be said that they could have actually been introduced in 2019 for Halloween. That did not happen. Maybe Niantic has something completely different in mind here.

Paragoni and Trombork

What kind of Pokémon are these? These two Pokémon come from Gen 6 and are of the types Ghost and Grass.

However, Trombork is not really useful. It only reaches 2559 CP and has a weak attack value.

Paragoni and Trombork Pokémon GO

What speaks for a release at Halloween? They are perfect Pokémon for Halloween. They look spooky and would be a perfect entry into Generation 6. There is nothing against a later release.

Gramokles, Duokles and Durengard

What kind of Pokémon are these? These Pokémon from Generation 6 are of the Steel and Ghost types. They look like swords with a creepy look.

Durengard appears in 2 different forms: the Sword form and the Shield form. Both forms are exciting. The Sword form has an attack value of 291, but only a defense value of 97. In the Shield form, it is exactly the opposite. Therefore, this monster should be remembered for raids, but also for the PvP league.

Gramokles Duokles and Durengard Pokémon GO

What speaks for a release at Halloween? At first glance, Gramokles does not really look spooky, but it belongs to the Ghosts from Gen 6. A release would therefore fit, even if there are more suitable Pokémon.

Irrbis and Pumpdjinn

What kind of Pokémon are these? The monsters are of the Grass and Ghost types and look like pumpkins with spooky faces.

These Pokémon also do not become really strong. A maximum of 2633 CP and a weak attack value mean that you rather need Irrbis and Pumpdjinn only as a Dex entry and nothing more.

Irrbis and Pumpdjinn Pokémon GO

What speaks for a release at Halloween? Nothing connects more with Halloween than carved pumpkins. Just like that, Irrbis and Pumpdjinn look. They would fit perfectly.

Besides the new Pokémon, Halloween could also generally be a real highlight:

That’s why the Halloween event could be the highlight of 2020

CoD Cold War: With this setup, I dominated the beta

Today, on October 20th, the beta of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War ends. MeinMMO author Benedict Grothaus has played it extensively and quickly focused on a specific weapon setup. Here he shows you what he used to really dominate.

What kind of setup is this? To really score in the beta of Black Ops Cold War, I chose the MP5 as my weapon, a submachine gun and one of my favorite weapons from previous games. Since Cold War allows for shotguns to be used as a secondary weapon, I quickly opted for the Gallo SA12 – also known as SPAS.

The same combination was already used by Frizzeyes, who set the kill world record in the beta. Together with the right perks, these two weapons make a really strong “Run and Gun” build.

That the beta was extended to today was quite convenient for me as I was able to score quite a bit yesterday. In most matches, I had a positive K/D, often around 2.0 or more, and I won most rounds at the top of the scoreboard.

CoD cold war gute KD 2
Nice stats, right? That was not uncommon with the build.

How do I build the weapons? Cold War has a gunsmith, similar to Modern Warfare. There you can customize the weapons with different attachments.

For the MP5 you need:

  • Muzzle: Muzzle Brake 9
  • Body: Steady Hand Laser
  • Underbarrel: Field Agent Grip
  • Magazine: 40 Round Speed Mag
  • Stock: No Stock

The setup roughly resembles the short version of the weapon, the MP5k. This one can already be constructed as a “secret weapon” in Modern Warfare.

For the Gallo SA12 you need:

  • Muzzle: Duckbill Choke
  • Barrel: 21.4″ Paratrooper
  • Body: SWAT 5mw Laser Sight
  • Magazine: STANAG 12 Round Tube
  • Grip: Guardian Grip

“Run&Gun” – The optimal build for speed junkies

What kind of build is this? The build is aimed at players who like to move quickly on the map and flank opponents. You rarely stand still and are constantly on the move to the next kill. This build is not suitable for snipers or players with a slower playstyle. You play this build similar to the ultimate Run&Gun build from Modern Warfare.

How do I build the loadout for the weapons?

  • Primary Weapon: MP5
  • Secondary Weapon: Gallo SA12
  • Tactical Equipment: Stun
  • Primary Equipment: Fragmentation Grenade
  • Field Upgrade: Any (for me: Proximity Mine)
  • Perks: Flak Jacket, Tracker or Assassin, Gung-Ho or Ninja, a perk particularly appreciated by professionals
  • Wildcard: Daredevil
CoD cold war build

What makes the build so good: With the attachments on the MP5, you are already so accurate while firing from the hip that you don’t even need to aim to hit. With Gung-Ho, you can fire directly from sprinting and even while sliding, you remain extremely precise.

The MP5 is suitable for both close combat and mid-range encounters this way. With the larger magazine, you can take on assault rifles. Together with Tracker, you can hunt down and track enemies, and the vest prevents you from being surprised by explosives and grenades.

The Gallo SA12 is possibly the strongest weapon for the secondary slot. The semi-automatic shotgun can fire rapidly and usually, opponents should be dead after the second shot. With the attachments, it becomes even more dangerous in close combat, with high spread and good handling. If you find yourself surprised by many opponents, in tight corridors, or if the MP5 is empty, you can easily clean up with the pump.

CoD COld War Stim
Often forgotten or ignored: Tactical equipment like the Stun.

An important part of the build is also the Stun. It heals you when you’ve just narrowly escaped a firefight and can prevent the kill on you. It is especially important in fights against multiple opponents.

Tips for the Run&Gun build for Cold War

How do I play this build correctly? Your task in the team is to flank the enemies, overwhelm them and eliminate enemy campers. Find a path past the enemy line and fire at them from behind.

As you are faster with the MP5 than most other players, you can avoid many dangers and simply hunt enemies. With Tracker, you know when enemies are nearby and can stick to their tails.

Thanks to the versatility of the build, you can play it in any game mode. Just don’t try to camp with it. If you stand still, you are an easy target and at the mercy of many other weapons like assault rifles and sniper rifles.

CoD Cold War Napalm
The selection of scorestreaks is a matter of taste, but napalm is quite cheap and has earned me a few additional kills.

Will it work at launch? Those who like to play faster builds and want to pump adrenaline through their enemies’ veins can definitely play this or a similar build at the launch of Cold War. At least, as long as the weapons are not significantly nerfed. Cold War is set to release on November 13.

Currently, Cold War has a problem with cheaters, even though the game isn’t even out yet. Against them, you have little chance even with the strongest build. Let’s hope that it gets sorted out by the release.

FIFA 21 hides “My Club” deep in the menu – Here’s how to find it anyway

If you want to see or sell all your club items in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team, you need to search a little. Here you will find the hidden “My Club” menu.

What is the “My Club” menu? In “My Club,” you could view all the items you collected in Ultimate Team in previous FIFA editions. This applied, for example, to:

  • Players
  • Managers
  • Consumables

Club items like jerseys or balls could also be found there. Additionally, you could view player statistics. The menu item was easily accessible through the main menu.

However, in FIFA 21, the “My Club” submenu is missing from the menu. But you don’t have to rely on the Web App to manage your club: You can still find the function in FIFA 21.

Here you can find “My Club” in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team

Where is “My Club”? The menu item itself no longer exists in FIFA 21. But there is a workaround to still use its functions.

This is the solution: You can simply access all your club items through the transfer list by pressing the left stick there. This submenu essentially replaces “My Club,” but you first need to find it.

We’ll show you the steps here in detail, as the menu is a bit hidden.

  • Step 1: First, navigate to the “Transfers” area.
Transfers FIFA 21
“Transfers” can be found directly in the main menu
  • Step 2: Select the “Transfer List”.
Transfer list FIFA 21
The transfer list is the next submenu
  • Step 3: In the next menu, press L3, or the left stick of your controller. Now the submenu “Set to Transfer List” opens.
In the transfer list, press the left stick.
  • Step 4: The “Search in Club” menu opens. Here, you can search for your players and club items as you would in “My Club.” For example, you can quickly sell players on the transfer market, put them on the list, or order them directly to your active squad.

Where are my player statistics? You won’t find the player statistics from “My Club.” They’ve landed in a different spot: In the first main menu of Ultimate Team, navigate all the way to the right to the submenu with the three bars. This is the “more options” submenu.

There you will also find the player statistics, which show you how often your players have scored in previous matches, for example.

Are you just starting the season? Then you can find some tips for starting FIFA 21.

Destiny 2: Weekly Reset on 20.10. – New Activities and Challenges

The Weekly Reset brings players in Destiny 2 today, on October 20th, new weekly activities, fresh Nightfall Strikes and a new Flashpoint. But what can the Guardians accomplish beyond that?

What’s going on in Destiny 2? The new Destiny week starts with Update 2.9.2.2 and the associated maintenance work including downtime. However, the servers should now be online again and the Guardians can dive into the content of the new week.

Which also includes the “Festival of the Lost 2020“, which is still ongoing. Some Guardians even speculate that there might be an event within the event. What Bungie has to say about this, you can read here.

It is also exciting that Bungie has achieved an important victory against cheaters. A major cheat software provider has now given up.

And for those who want to prepare for the new raid in Beyond Light, you can find out here how much time you get for preparation.

These are the sources for Powerful Loot in Season 11 of Destiny 2

This is how Powerful Loot is structured in Destiny 2: Powerful loot comes in several tiers, granting different power boosts. Accordingly, higher tiers grant you higher power boosts.

  • Tier 1 (up to +3 above the current power level)
  • Tier 2 (up to +4 above the current power level)
  • Tier 3 (up to +5 above the current power level)
  • Exotic Gear (+5 or more over the power level. The only gear that goes above 1050 and up to a maximum of 1060)

For your information: Power levels obtained through the new Artifact “Seed of the Silver Wings” are not considered for the calculation of your drops’ power levels. Here, the average of gear and weapons is decisive.

Destiny 2: Update 2.9.2.2 is now available – Everything you need to know

This afternoon, on October 20th, maintenance is scheduled for Destiny 2 on PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Google Stadia for the new update 2.9.2.2. MeinMMO presents the unusual times that are important today.

Here’s what’s happening today: The Season 11 of Destiny 2 is coming to an end, but maintenance is on the agenda this Tuesday afternoon. The longer maintenance serves to prepare for the new update – the hotfix 2.9.2.2.

The update is now live on all platforms. On PS4, it is only 1.37 MB, and you just need to start the game; it will load shortly before login.

Maintenance on 20.10. – All about the process and server downtime

Here are the important times:

  • At 2:00 PM, maintenance starts on all platforms
  • At 2:45 PM, the servers will go offline, and downtime begins. If you are still in an activity, you will be kicked and cannot log in again.
  • At 7:00 PM, the servers will come back online. Update 2.9.2.2 will then roll out worldwide
  • Once the update is downloaded (and copied), you can play Destiny 2 again.
  • At 8:00 PM, maintenance is scheduled to end

The maintenance also applies to the Destiny 1 servers.

Keep in mind: Until the maintenance is completely finished, there may be queues when logging in or connection issues. As always, third-party applications and the official companion app will also be unreachable.

What changes with update 2.9.2.2 in Destiny 2?

This is included in the hotfix: The details about what changes to the game are being made are not known. Usually, Bungie’s TWaB provides an outlook on upcoming changes. However, this update was not mentioned.

Since the downtime for a hotfix is exceptionally long, some guardians speculate about larger changes:

  • A potential candidate could be the suspected live event that is supposed to link Season 11 and Beyond Light story-wise: Looks like Destiny 2 will end Season 11 with a big event
  • However, according to some players (via reddit), the previous live event with the Allmacht came into the game without a patch or maintenance
  • Other voices advocate for a finale at the Interference mission – even though we have been able to play the fight against Nokris for 2 weeks. Could more come?
  • Since the servers for Destiny 1 are also being maintained, it could involve the implementation of some sort of promotion for Beyond Light.
Is the hotfix going to fix the Halloween event?

Will there be a fix for the Halloween event? Although recently the drop rate for the event item “Cipher Decoder” was increased, many guardians still report problems with drops. Bungie might be working on it.

However, we know that these issues with the Halloween event are known to the Destiny developer:

  • The “Rampant Enthusiasm Emote” is missing its initial sound effect. 
  • At the end of the Spookwood, equipment with 750 power can sometimes come from chests. 
  • The Canis Luna Hunter chest armor ornament overlaps with certain gauntlets.

However, it is not yet known whether anything will actually be fixed or something completely different.

More about the Halloween event “Festival of the Lost 2020” can be found here:

What about the patch notes for update 2.9.2.2 in Destiny 2?

This is what the patch notes say: A list of all changes from hotfix 2.9.2.2 can be found in the official patch notes. A look inside shows that despite the long maintenance, only minimal fixes were made.

Here we have linked the English change log – as the German version is not yet available:

What do you think the hotfix today might change? And what are you doing during the longer forced break? Let us know in the comments. If you want to take a look at the next big thing in the Destiny universe, you can find it here:

CoD MW, Warzone: The Haunting of Verdansk is live – What’s in the Halloween event?

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and CoD Warzone, Season 6 receives fresh content and it’s going to get spooky. The Halloween event “The Haunting of Verdansk” comes and brings new cosmetics, zombies, a night version of the battle royale map, new modes, and a new reward system with prizes. Here’s what to expect in detail.

Update 7:00 PM – The Halloween update is now live, as the official Call of Duty channel announces on Twitter. You can get started right now!

Season 6 Reloaded “The Haunting of Verdansk” – When does it start? According to Activision, the first Halloween event “The Haunting of Verdansk” is part of the big seasonal update for Season 6 (Season 6 Reloaded) and is set to start on October 20. The event will run until November 3.

A specific time for the haunting hasn’t been announced, but the new content will likely kick off around 7:00 PM German time.

Here’s an overview of the event roadmap:

Is there a new update for Modern Warfare and Warzone? Officially, nothing is known yet. There’s also no preload active on the PS4, which was always present with the last major patches for the Sony console.

So it could be that the relevant data has already come into the game with Update 1.28 and that today there’s just a minor server-side playlist update for CoD MW and Warzone marking the kickoff for the new Halloween event. If a larger update for CoD Modern Warfare and Warzone goes live, you’ll find out about it here on MeinMMO.

What’s the event about? A squad of operators undertakes a seemingly normal drop into the Warzone of Verdansk to investigate some incidents there. There’s supposed to be a serial killer lurking somewhere who wears the faces of his victims on his own.

Shortly after landing, all hell breaks loose. The squad is brutally decimated, with only one surviving. The survivor vows revenge and plans to return under the cover of darkness to finish the job. This is where you come in.

Watch the trailer for “The Haunting of Verdansk” here: Activision and Infinity Ward have introduced Season 6 Reloaded through the Halloween event “The Haunting of Verdansk” in a new trailer. You can watch the video here:

The Haunting of Verdansk – What’s New

Event-specific spooky cosmetics and operators in the store: Consistent with the horror scenario, numerous new spooky-look cosmetics await you in the in-game shop, some of which have already been leaked. For example, there is

  • the SAW bundle – including Billy The Puppet from the well-known SAW franchise as an operator skin, a special throwing knife, or special weapon blueprints
  • the Texas Chainsaw Massacre bundle – including the iconic killer Leatherface as an operator skin or new weapon blueprints
  • Dr. Karlov bundle – including a mad scientist under a metal mask as an operator skin
  • Ghost: Grim Reaper bundle – including a special Grim Reaper skin for Ghost

Already in the game – new weapon JAK-12: Season 6 Reloaded also includes a new weapon that has been playable for a few days – the new fully automatic shotgun JAK-12. You can find out more about this weapon here:

What’s New for CoD Warzone

New reward system and prizes: As part of the event, there will be an additional reward system. In several areas of the Warzone, there are hidden “Trick or Treat” supply boxes.

When you open one of these supply boxes, you have a chance to receive various cosmetic rewards such as the assault rifle blueprint “Return to Dust” or the melee weapon blueprint “The Cleaver”.

But you can also find a holographic watch, weapon charms, stickers, sprays, or emblems. Or something that could scare you.

If you manage to collect all 16 different rewards from the supply boxes, you’ll receive the cool assault rifle blueprint “Pumpkin Punisher”.

In which areas can you find the event supply boxes:

  • Gora Dam
  • Arklov Peak Military Base
  • Kast River Quarry
  • Verdansk International Airport
  • Storage Town
  • Atlas Superstore
  • Zhokov Boneyard
  • Hospital
  • Novi Grazna Hills
  • BCH TV Station
  • Verdansk Stadium
  • Downtown
  • Gorengrad Lumber Yard
  • Port of Verdansk
  • Zordaya Prison Complex (which also contains the Gulag)

More about this can be found here: CoD Warzone: Trick or Treat – All 16 locations of the supply boxes

Night infiltrations: Selected modes such as Trios or Zombie Royale will be played on a night version of the Warzone map around Verdansk. While it’s not completely pitch dark, the full moon still illuminates the game world a bit, but the Warzone is likely to become a different experience with the night mode.

New mode “Zombie Royale”: Here you can fight against or alongside the titular zombies. Because instead of going to the Gulag, eliminated players will return as zombies.

As a zombie, you have no weapons, but you possess supernatural powers: increased speed, better jumps, deadlier melee attacks, and thermal vision. This allows you to hunt down human players as an undead.

If a player is eliminated, they drop a syringe. If you collect 2 as a zombie, you are healed and get a second chance to re-enter the game as a human. The last team with a surviving operator wins the match. By the way, all of this takes place at night.

What’s New for CoD Modern Warfare

Even for traditional multiplayer, the Halloween event brings new features.

New fire pumpkin effect: In regular MP, there will be a new effect during the event. If a player reaches 3 kills without dying, their head will turn into a pumpkin.

If a player reaches 10 kills in a single life, the pumpkin head will even start to burn. This signals to other players in the enemy team who they should focus on quickly to avoid being shredded by powerful killstreaks.

Additionally, there will be numerous spooky little features across all possible multiplayer modes. Get ready to be surprised.

New modes: As part of the Halloween event, 2 new modes will come – Onslaughter and Snipers Only.

  • Onslaughter: Squads fight for a Juggernaut armor that randomly appears somewhere on the map. With it, they need to advance to a specific target area.
  • Snipers Only: A new team deathmatch variant that is played only with sniper rifles. You can choose from 5 pre-made loadouts.

By the way, on November 13, 2020, the new Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War will be released. But what happens with the battle royale mode Warzone? After all, it’s supposed to continue with Cold War but also share content with Modern Warfare. You can find out more here: The future of Warzone with CoD Cold War: This is how it could continue

Xbox Series X/S with new controller – What makes it “new”?

The Xbox Series X and Series S both come with a new controller. But what makes the new Xbox Controller better? We take a look at the features and tests.

What is it about? In the meantime, Microsoft has already given some deep insights into the new Xbox Series X and Series S. Testers have also been able to play with the consoles, try out next-gen games, and take a close look at the hardware. German tests describe the Xbox Series X as “fast” and “quiet.”

  • Even smaller hands can handle the controller
  • The D-pad has been revised
  • The new Share button helps capture and share content
  • Charging with USB-C
  • Feels comfortable in testers’ hands

In this article, we want to focus on the new controller of the Xbox Series X and Series S. What has improved since the last gamepad?

Visual Differences to the Predecessor

In direct comparison with the launch controller of the Xbox Series X, three changes are immediately noticeable

  • The upper edge for separation has been omitted
  • The new Share button is now there
  • The D-pad has been revised

The Edge: The predecessor clearly shows an edge at the top near the Xbox symbol, which extends along the entire upper part of the controller to the sides at LB and RB. This edge has now been omitted. The new controller now looks more uniform from above.

Xbox One X Series X Controller Comparison

The Share Button: In the middle of the controller, you’ll find the new button. This allows capturing and sharing content like screenshots or recordings directly.

As GamePro states in the Xbox controller review, you can use the Xbox accessories app to assign the button. This makes capturing game content much easier. With the Xbox One, you always had to take the detour through the guide menu first.

Xbox Controller Share Button

New D-pad: The D-pad may remind some of you of the Xbox Elite Controller Series 2. The new D-pad is designed to make hitting diagonal directions easier. Testers explain that the pressure point is much better recognized. However, the mechanical clicking when executing a directional command is also clearly audible.

Xbox Controller D-pad

Price of the Xbox Series X/S Controller

How much does the controller cost? If you buy an Xbox Series X or Series S, the controller is included in the package. If you want to purchase an additional controller, you have to pay about €60 for it.

Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.

In which colors is the Series X/S Controller available?

These colors are available: On the Xbox website, the controller is already available for pre-order in three colors: black, white, and blue.

In the comparison image, we show you the three colors of the controller side by side, so you can get an idea of which one might work for you.

How does the new Xbox Controller feel in hand?

The back of the controller is covered with fine bumps, which gave testers the impression of a firmer grip. On the YouTube channel ShortCircuit, Linus reports that the controller has a good grip. He feels it is rougher but still feels more like a premium product.

In the video, he talks about the feeling of the controller around the 5:00 minute mark.

Tobias Veltin from GamePro explains that the controller is also well-suited for players with smaller hands.

That the trigger area has become slightly narrower at the top suits me as a person with smaller hands. I also find the textured top of the triggers pleasant. “Pleasant” is generally the adjective I would use to describe the Series X controller, as the thumbs also naturally go “into position” when gripping the pad, making the gamepad feel really excellent in my opinion.

The Analog Sticks: In the review by Venturebeat, tester Jeff Grubb explains that the analog sticks feel more direct and tighter to him, which is good. He also states that even lighter movements are reliably recognized.

The Weight: Jeff Grubb also explains on Venturebeat that the controller is slightly heavier than the Xbox One’s. And that is by far the best change of the controller for him. While the weight adjustment is very subtle, it makes the controller feel even better in hand, he says.

von Alexander Leitsch

Shoulder Buttons: As Xbox shows, the shoulder buttons have been rounded and also textured. This way, the fingers know exactly where they should be and have good grip meanwhile.

Technical Info on the Series X Controller

Batteries: For the controller, you need 2 AA batteries or battery packs. According to some testers, battery packs from the Xbox One controllers are compatible, but not all from third-party manufacturers. You might have to try this yourself.

USB Charging: For charging the controller, there is now a USB-C port. This allows you to connect the controller directly to the console via cable or charge built-in battery packs.

Connectivity: Testers describe connecting the controller to the Xbox Series X as “fast” and “hassle-free.” Just as it should be.

How do you like the new controller of the Xbox Series X? Are you looking forward to playing with it or is there a change you don’t like?

Your old gaming gems get a performance boost on the Xbox Series X. This is how it looks.

WoW Classic: Rank 14 is an absurdly hard grind – This crazy person has done it 3 times

Only a few players achieve the toughest grind in WoW Classic. But one has done it three times. Why? Because the journey is the goal for him.

There are some grinds in MMORPGs that are considered long and demanding. But few tasks are as strenuous as the grind for the infamous Rank 14 in classic World of Warcraft. This is a task for which many players take weeks off work, only to eventually break under the strain. Very few can endure this grind. But the player Sundrix has done it. Not once. Not twice. Three times he has achieved Rank 14 with three different characters.

Why is it so difficult? The PvP system in WoW Classic is designed for a brutal grind. Only a very few players can reach Rank 14 every week, and only if they have been farming their rank for the weeks and months before. To do this, one must participate in PvP activities. Spending up to 18 hours a day in battlegrounds is the norm. After all, competition is fierce, and every player that plays more could gain an edge.

What did Sundrix do? Sundrix from the US server Herod has taken on the challenge of completing this hard grind three times. With his characters Sundrix (Paladin), Sunwrix (Warlock), and Sundrixm (Mage), he has each achieved Rank 14. A challenge that required over 50 weeks of PvP – almost the entire time that the PvP system in WoW Classic has been available.

WoW Classic Sundrix
Hard to believe – he has achieved PvP rank 14 with three characters.

Why did he do it? In response to questions about why he did this and whether it was worth the effort, he replies:

What people do not understand: It was not because of the rewards; that was never my goal. It’s more about the journey. WoW Classic, despite all its inconsistencies and flaws, was a fantastic, unique opportunity and the PvP community played a huge role in it. I had the pleasure of meeting many great people and building some strong friendships that will last a lifetime.

This is definitely an achievement that no one can take away from him. And anyone wanting to replicate it should plan at least a year of time – because that’s how long it will roughly take to reach rank 14 on 3 characters.

Sundrix saw Classic change over the year

He witnessed the entire PvP evolution: Having pursued the goal for nearly a year, Sundrix has also seen the entire evolution of the PvP system in Classic. From healthy, interesting open PvP, which he says suddenly turned into a kind of “Survival game like Day Z”. The players of his faction became increasingly outnumbered. With the launch of battlegrounds, there were pre-made groups that he joined. They repeatedly crushed the Horde, which was suffering defeat after defeat.

WoW Classic Sundrix Massacre
The entrance to the Molten Core – a total slaughter.

Blizzard subsequently removed premade groups for battlegrounds, and then the Horde began their campaign of revenge, which Sundrix says continues to this day. Individual groups are repeatedly sent out to specifically eliminate individual players. However, Sundrix and his teammates apparently did not let this get them down. A bit of friendly rivalry is just part of PvP in WoW Classic.

Could you imagine such a grind, dedicating almost a year to just one activity in World of Warcraft?

Even some retirees have tried for rank 14 – like this 73-year-old who at least reached rank 13.

The fastest way to level up the Adventure Rank in Genshin Impact

The Adventure Rank in Genshin Impact is very important and unlocks many useful features of the game. Here are the various sources from which you can obtain Adventure EXP.

What is the Adventure Rank? The Adventure Rank or level is a mechanic in Genshin Impact that is primarily determined by your progress in the game.

This level is globally valid for your entire account and differs from the individual character levels. Accordingly, separate EXP is earned for that.

What do you gain from it? Many mechanics in Genshin Impact depend on the Adventure Rank, which are only unlocked at higher levels. These include, for example:

  • New Areas
  • Dungeons
  • Daily Quests
  • Expeditions
  • The Co-op Mode

Furthermore, your world level is also directly linked to the Adventure Rank. Therefore, it is essential for your progress that you continuously increase your Adventure Rank.

Additionally, there are some rewards for each level-up of the Adventure Rank that you can claim in Mondstadt at the Adventure Guild. These can include Mora, Primogems, or other useful items.

More on the topic
Genshin Impact: Farming and Buying Primogems – All Methods
von Noah Struthoff

How do you increase the rank? Since the Adventure Level is separate from the individual character levels, it also requires its own specific Adventure EXP. You obtain this, on the one hand, by completing the story quests. On the other hand, many different activities within Genshin Impact also provide them.

Here are the different sources from which you can draw Adventure EXP. Some of them are one-time, while others can be repeated daily. The trick is to combine several of them to be efficient. By the way, all of them require no resin.

Daily Missions

To unlock the commission quests, a minimum Adventure Rank of 12 is initially required. Once you reach this, go to the Adventure Guild in Mondstadt and talk to Katheryne. Afterwards, they will appear under “Missions” in your Adventure Handbook.

There are 4 different daily quests every day that you should complete. On the one hand, they individually provide a lot of Adventure EXP that scales with your rank, and on the other hand, you can get up to 500 EXP as a bonus for completing all 4 quests, which you must claim at the Adventure Guild.

genshin impact daily missions
The reset of the daily quests occurs at 4:00 server time.

The amount of EXP from the quests depends on how high your Adventure Rank currently is. But there are indeed many Adventure EXP for a relatively small time investment.

Besides the EXP, the quests also provide other useful rewards like Mora or even Primogems. Therefore, one should try to complete them as much as possible every day.

If you have already reached rank 12, then these daily quests are a must for quickly leveling up the Adventure Rank. If you do not have rank 12 yet, you can use the methods listed below.

Adventure Handbook

For the Adventure Handbook, you also need to talk to Katheryne in the Mondstadt Guild first. It will be unlocked after a short cutscene.

In the book, you will find three chapters named Excursions, Sphere, and Bounty Hunting. Here, you are primarily interested in the Excursions.

They are a collection of various small and large tasks that you can complete while exploring in the world of Genshin Impact. This includes tasks like “Activate 3 Teleport Points,” “Open 15 Chests,” or “Defeat a Ruin Hunter.”

genshin impact excursions
The Adventure Handbook has several chapters, and the tasks within become increasingly difficult as you progress.

Especially early in the game, these tasks are relatively easy to complete and can also be done alongside other activities, while, for example, walking from point A to B for a quest. For this, you earn a decent 100 EXP.

Sphere and Bounty Hunting also give Adventure EXP, but they require a certain amount of Original Resin, which you can only spend in a limited amount each day.

Here, you need to consider what you want to do with your daily amount of Resin.

Completing Quests

The classic: Quests work in Genshin Impact just like in almost every other RPG. You receive various tasks from NPCs and must complete them to earn rewards.

It is advisable to follow the Archon main quest up to around rank 7 to unlock new party members and some new features. Once you have your first full group of characters, you can dedicate yourself more to exploration.

Besides the Archon story quest, there are many smaller and larger side quests in Genshin Impact, which provide you with plenty of Adventure EXP and other useful rewards.

genshin impact quest log
Regularly check your quest log and see if there is a quest location nearby.

What are Legend Quests? These special quests that tell stories about individual characters are unlocked gradually starting from Adventure Rank 32. For example, the first story is about Klee. Currently, there are 3 of these Legend Quests available. In addition to the usual rewards, there are also ample Adventure EXP for higher ranks. Therefore, it is worth completing these quests as soon as they become available to you.

To start the quests, you need Legend Keys. You can accumulate a total of 3, while only one is needed to start the quest. You can obtain these keys by completing your daily quests. For each quest, you receive a progress point, and a total of 8 are needed to unlock a Legend Key.

So always keep an eye out for different quest NPCs and work through your quest log. This activity can also be well combined with other ways to farm Adventure EXP. One such side quest is “The Chi of Guyu”:

von Irina Moritz

Statues of The Seven

During your journey through the world of Genshin Impact, you will find Statues of The Seven that give you a good amount of Adventure EXP for a “small” donation.

To donate to the statues, you need special items, Anemoculus and Geoculus, which are scattered all over the map. They can sometimes be well hidden or hard to reach, but we have maps with their locations for you:

Collecting the Oculi and worshiping the statues can be done super easily while you complete quests or explore the map.

Worshiping is not only useful for Adventure EXP. You also receive additional items and unlock more information on the world map, which helps you during further exploration.

Genshin Impact Statue of The Seven Offering Anemoculus
It’s always worth stopping by a statue if you have the necessary items for it.

Map Exploration

While it may seem obvious in an open-world game, exploring the map in Genshin Impact brings you a lot of bonuses. This includes Adventure EXP as well. If you want to efficiently farm it, you need to combine multiple activities, and few things suit better than exploring the map for chests, enemy camps, and teleport points.

When you open chests or activate teleport points, you can earn between 20 and 50 EXP. While it may not sound like much, you can combine it, for example, with:

  • Connecting it with the tasks from the Adventure Handbook
  • or completing it alongside other quests.

Especially in Genshin Impact, there are plenty of treasure chests to find. You practically stumble over one every few meters at the beginning. So keep your eyes peeled and collect the bonus EXP.

By the way, treasure chests in Genshin Impact can be opened multiple times for more experience and items.

Many thanks to our reader Brezel for the hints and additions to the guide.

What stands out: Some of the skins that the data miner has attributed to the loot crates are currently available to purchase via bundles. So note that not all skins and cosmetics shown in these videos will be available directly in the shop.

What are the highlights here? A familiar face is the Ghost skin, which is currently also available through a bundle. It originates from Modern Warfare 2 and now appears in CoD Mobile.

Another exciting skin is the character with the big cat fur on its head. While it is quite striking on the map, at least you can die in style when you get taken down.

Draws in Call of Duty: Mobile

There are also skins available here: Besides bundles and crates, there are also draws through which you can obtain cosmetics. Currently (as of October 20), there is the Halloween Redux draw available in the shop.

There you can get numerous Halloween skins for your weapons, but also the chance to obtain the character Hidora Kai.

The data miner “Dataminers Hole” has also provided some leaks showing further such draws:

FIFA 21 FUT: How to recover discarded cards

In FIFA 21 Ultimate Team, it can quickly happen that you accidentally sell a valuable player using the “Quick Sell” feature for far too few coins. But don’t worry, the card is not lost. We will show you how to retrieve it.

What is the Quick Sell feature? In FIFA 21 Ultimate Team, you can either put the cards that do not end up in your team on the FUT transfer market and hope for high bids. Or you use the “Quick Sell” feature, which directly removes cards from your club for a small amount of coins. This process is also called “Quick Selling.”

This is especially useful when no one wants to buy the card or when you are simply too lazy to put each individual card on the transfer market.

But what should you do if you accidentally quick-sold your new expensive Mbappe out of excitement and did not add him to your club?

How to Retrieve Quick Sold Cards

Here’s what you need to do: Since FIFA 20, there has been a way to restore quick-sold cards. This only works in the web app; you cannot find the function on consoles.

The following steps are necessary:

  1. Log in to the FUT 21 Web or Companion App
  2. Click on “Club”
  3. Click on “Quick Sell Recovery”
  4. With the calendar icon, you can search for a specific day
  5. Select the card you want to restore
  6. And click on “Restore”
Here you can save your quick sold cards

Now you pay the quick sell price, and the card is available again. You just have to move it from the “Unassigned Menu” to your club.

What you should know: However, there are a few rules for the restoration process. Here’s what you should know:

  • You can restore a maximum of 5 FUT cards within 30 days
  • The cards are only available for restoration for 7 days

How about you? Have you ever accidentally quick sold a top card? We have more tips for starting in FIFA 21 here for you.

Dealer on Nvidia RTX 3070 Scarcity – Specifies Exact Delivery Numbers

Nvidia delayed the release of the RTX 3070 to have more stock available. The European retailer Proshop reveals its numbers on how many graphics cards have been delivered so far.

Here’s why Nvidia postponed the release: Nvidia announced on October 1 in a blog post that the release of the RTX 3070 would be postponed by about two weeks to October 29, 2020.

We know that this may be disappointing for those who want to buy a GeForce RTX 3070 as soon as possible, but this delay will help our global partners have more graphics cards in stock for players on release day.

Official Statement, via Nvidia.com

The postponement aims to prevent the same issues that occurred with the RTX 3080: Here, bot purchasers bought the graphics cards.

RTX 3070: One retailer provides specific numbers

Now PCMag.com reports that the Danish retailer Proshop has provided its own numbers on how many graphics cards they have in stock or have already received:

  • Proshop has ordered a total of 4280 RTX 3070 graphics cards to sell to customers.
  • So far, the seller has only received 106 units.
  • Another 185 units are on their way to the warehouse.

Thus, a large number of graphics cards that the seller expects from major hardware manufacturers are still missing.

Who is Proshop anyway? Proshop is an important electronics retailer in Europe based in Denmark. Proshop estimates its annual turnover at around 200 million Euros (as of 2019). In addition to Denmark, Proshop is also active in Sweden, Norway, Finland, Germany, Austria, and Poland.

Here’s how we know the numbers: Proshop has created a dedicated website for the RTX 3000 series, where you can see how many graphics cards are in transit and how many have already been delivered. Unlike other retailers, we know very precisely here how many cards are available.

The RTX 3080 sold out in moments. Now everyone is eagerly waiting for the RTX 3070.

RTX 3070 Release: Why Everyone is Waiting for the Graphics Card

With the RTX 3080, Nvidia delivered a powerful graphics card that offered significantly more performance than the previous generation. Testers praised the RTX 3080 for its excellent performance. However, the rush of interested buyers was so great that the graphics cards were sold out just moments after the release.

Now everyone is eagerly waiting for the RTX 3070. It will be released on October 29, 2020, and priced at $499. So far, there are mainly rumors about the performance of the RTX 3070, which Nvidia has not yet confirmed (via GameStar.de). However, performance is expected to significantly exceed that of the RTX 2070.

This is how Nvidia presents the performance of its RTX 3070. Image source: Nvidia.com

New story trailer for Destiny 2 shows: aliens burn with hatred, are cool

In Destiny 2, the big expansion “Beyond Light” is coming up. A new story trailer is supposed to get the Guardians excited for the DLC and give a first glimpse of what players can expect. This time, the aliens have discovered a new power source for themselves: They are using the power of Stasis and freezing their opponents. They appear quite aggressive.

This is what we see in the trailer: In the new story trailer for Destiny 2, we see the antagonist of the expansion, Eramis, rallying her soldiers for the fight against us, the Guardians.

Eramis is “The Deadly Kell of Darkness”, a four-armed killer.

Her decisive statement is: She wants to make the “great machine” suffer as much as she and her people have suffered. Because from the fate of her own people, she derives the hatred that drives her: The “Eliksni” culture has “fallen”. Under the name “The Fallen”, the Eliksni have been known to Destiny players since 2014. They belong to the 4 enemy alien races.

The DLC “Beyond Light” will again put them in the spotlight. Because the Fallen have discovered new powers.

In order to take revenge on the Traveler, who has treated her people so badly, Eramis will apparently use the power of darkness.

This is the German trailer – you can see the English version here.

The trailer for Beyond Light mainly shows the perspective of the Fallen, the antagonists of the expansion:

We also see our old acquaintance Variks, who sends out a distress signal, thereby calling the Guardians to action.

von Philipp Hansen

The Darkness appears as a cosmic adversary

What it’s about: The clear selling point of “Beyond Light” so far is that Destiny is receiving a completely new element, Stasis, for the first time since 2014.

All previous powers in the game came from the Traveler and its “Light”. Stasis is now for the first time a skill that does not come from the Traveler, but from its cosmological counterpart: the Darkness.

These abilities will not only be available to the Guardians but also to the enemies in the game.

Here are the enemies of the expansion: Besides Eramis, players will face “high-ranking lieutenants”. Bungie introduces the 4 lieutenants of Eramis:

  • Atraks
  • Kridis
  • Phylaks
  • Praksis

They are supposed to be all “powerful foes” who are “skilled users of Stasis”, as Bungie states.

The “good” side of the expansion … somewhat.

On the side of the Guardians, the following will appear:

  • Variks – an uneasy ally
  • The Exo Stranger – she is said to have an “extraordinary vision of the future”
  • Eris Morn – she has dedicated her life to understanding and defeating the Darkness
  • The Drifter – a looter and hustler. He has long bragged about his connection to the Darkness; for him, it’s only about survival

Destiny 2: Beyond Light will be released on November 10th. You can find all information about the new expansion on our website MeinMMO.

It is hoped that with the emergence of the Darkness, the story line that has been dormant in Destiny since 2014 will finally gain momentum, but has rarely appeared.

How to obtain the Battle Pass in Genshin Impact

The Battle Pass model is in vogue nowadays, and since Genshin Impact is a Free2Play title, it also uses a Battle Pass. However, you have to play a considerable number of hours just to unlock it. The Battle Pass is available on all platforms for Genshin Impact.

What is this Pass? The Battle Pass is a way for free-to-play games to bring cosmetic content into a game in a better way than selling all content individually. Since the rise of Fortnite, this type of pass has become widespread. Players feel like they are contributing to acquiring cosmetic items with a Battle Pass.

Whether in Epic Seven, Seven Deadly Sins Grand Cross or CoD Warzone: We find a Battle Pass everywhere, sometimes under a different name, but always with the same principle.

To take advantage of it, you need to play a lot and often complete specific missions to progress in the pass. Depending on the type of pass, there are more or fewer rare rewards for it.

In general, there are two types of passes:

  • The first is completely free and offers basic rewards
  • The second is an enhanced version, to which rewards and new challenges are added – however for real money.

The Battle Pass in Genshin Impact

How do you unlock the Pass? First, you need to play long enough to reach Adventure Level 20. Once you reach this level, you can benefit from a new menu in your “Shortcut Wheel”.

Genshin Impact Battle Pass Menu
With Adventure Level 20, a new menu for the Pass is unlocked.

How many levels are there? The Battle Pass in Genshin Impact contains 50 tiers with rewards at each level.

This is what the Pass looks like.

Do you have to pay? As you may have noticed, the rewards in the Pass are blocked. And as with all systems of this type, there is a paid version.

In Genshin Impact, this costs 10.99 euros. Of course, there is also a premium version where you get directly 10 levels in the Pass for 21.99 euros.

The prices of the Battle Pass in Genshin Impact.

How do you increase the levels? To increase the levels, you need to complete missions and various quests. First, you must do the daily quests that are offered to you every day. Then there are weekly and monthly tasks.

Here you can see an example of quests that you need to complete in the game:

The rewards: As for the rewards, you will find materials to enhance weapons and characters, but not only that, but also coins that you can use for summons.

A BP chest is available from level 30, allowing you to choose a 4-star weapon from those listed below.

However, you will not be able to unlock characters as rewards.

As a reminder: Genshin Impact is playable on PS4, PC, Android, and iOS, and is still in development for Nintendo Switch.

Pokémon GO is throwing out monsters from Mega Raids – Here’s what happens next

With the arrival of Mega-Gengar in the raids at Pokémon GO, a Mega-Pokémon has to leave. Niantic shows how it will continue with Mega Raids and Energies.

What’s new? The developers of Pokémon GO announced changes in the mobile game. The recently introduced Mega Raids will be changing soon. Mega-Venusaur, which has been there from the start, will leave the Mega Raids.

It essentially makes room for Mega-Gengar.

  • Mega-Gengar comes
  • In November, there will be further changes to Mega Evolutions

When does Mega-Venusaur disappear?

What is known: Niantic states that Mega-Venusaur will no longer be found as a Raid Boss in Mega Raids starting from October 24 at 03:00 AM German time. Mega-Gengar will then come into the raids.

Until that time, Venusaur will appear more often in Mega Raids. This gives you all a better chance to encounter this opponent.

Do you still need Energies? You can still receive Mega-Venusaur Energy through

  • completing field research tasks
  • and through an upcoming event in November.

Changes to Mega Evolutions in November

What is planned: Next month, in November 2020, Niantic wants to further improve the Mega Evolutions in Pokémon GO. At the beginning, the feature received a lot of criticism and was described as the “biggest paywall since launch“.

von Noah Struthoff

Since then, the developers have been trying to design the special evolutions to be appealing to trainers. In November, you can expect the following changes:

  • Earn Mega Energies by walking with your buddy Pokémon if you previously performed a Mega Evolution on a Pokémon from your buddy’s evolution chain
  • Earn additional Mega Candies if you have an active Mega Pokémon and catch a Pokémon of the same type as your Mega Pokémon. You will also receive extra candies if you catch a Raid Boss, regardless of its type
  • Your friends list will show which trainers currently have a Mega Pokémon

Do you think these changes will help the Mega system in Pokémon GO, or do you wish for something entirely different? Let us know here at MeinMMO in the comments and discuss with other trainers.
