In Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War cheaters and hackers were already present during the beta. This led many console players to disable crossplay. Read here at MeinMMO how serious it already is.
What happened in the beta? The new Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War had its first beta behind it on PC and Xbox One. But alongside exciting and fun shooting – for which there was even a beta extension – there was also considerable frustration. Because although the game was only available in beta for a few days, cheaters and hackers were already able to exploit the game at will.
A particularly egregious example of unrestrained cheater behavior can be found here in a clip from reddit. There, a cheater is so blatantly misusing an aimbot that there is really no doubt left about his cheating. He mows down opponents one after another and hits nearly every shot, regardless of distance.
This is particularly crazy because the beta offers no progress you could take over. So cheating isn’t even sustainably beneficial. Rather, it seems that cheaters just want to have fun, scoring top scores without skill.
Xbox players frustratedly disable crossplay
Here’s how players are reacting: Since cheaters are mainly active on PC – the infrastructure here supports modifications to games much more – Xbox players took matters into their own hands and disabled the otherwise positive crossplay feature.
This allowed console players to play together with PC players – actually a great thing that guaranteed full lobbies. But without PC players, there were also far fewer cheaters in the lobbies, so the feature soon became an annoyance and was disabled more often, as reported by Eurogamer.
Some comments from players on this:
RoKeOps: “I prefer waiting a long time for a lobby than to deal with these hacker assholes who couldn’t win a real game without hacking.”
Illini_Jack: “The first thing I did yesterday was turn off cross-play”
Killminster001: “They should have the option to exclude PC players and leave crossplay for consoles.”
One can only hope that the developers at Treyarch will refine the anti-cheater measures before the release of Cold War, thus preventing it from becoming a fest for cheaters at launch. In any case, this player managed to play without cheaters. He still set the record for 145 kills in the Cold War beta.

If you like, you can now get a special theme for “Black Lives Matter” for the PlayStation 4 for free. Sony is providing the PS4 theme for free, but some players are not pleased at all. Read here about the controversial situation that arises and how you can get the theme.
What is the theme about? Sony recently released a free theme for the PlayStation 4. It is a theme for the Black Lives Matter movement.
The theme changes your user interface on the PS4 and consists of a black background. Icons are in contrasting yellow. At the bottom of the screen, you can see three yellow stripes with the inscription “Black Lives Matter.” A black fist rounds off the image.
How do you get the theme? You can easily get the free theme through the PS Store at this link. The theme is intended for the PS4. It is still unknown whether it will work with the upcoming PS5 or if there will be a separate version for it.
BLM is not well received everywhere
What exactly is BLM? With the theme, supporters of the BLM (Black Lives Matter) campaign (via Wikipedia) can express their solidarity with the movement. BLM is a campaign that aims to draw attention to the grievances faced by People of Color (PoC).
Especially in the USA, there have been and continue to be assaults on People of Color. Particularly during police checks and law enforcement, People of Color often end up dead. The most prominent example was the death of George Floyd, who was killed by a police officer during an arrest.
As a result, there were nationwide protests and riots. Furthermore, many companies, including those in the gaming industry, have supported the movement in various ways and generated attention. Sony’s action is part of a long list of actions.

The Webedia network, which includes MeinMMO, GameStar, and GamePro, positions itself in solidarity with the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement and tolerates no discrimination. And we would like to thank everyone who works to create a respectful community among us. Our thoughts are with all those affected. Take care of yourselves.
What are the reactions to the theme? A political topic like BLM causes controversial discussions among PlayStation users. Those who support the movement had no problem with it and gladly accepted the offer for the free theme.
However, there are also users who did not like it. Some gamers are bothered that their hobby is intertwined with political issues from the real world. These players want a retreat where they can relax and have peace from the problems and troubles of the real world.
For them, things like BLM or LGBTQ have no place in gaming.

Other players are noticeably hostile towards BLM and accuse the movement of being, among other things, a terrorist or Marxist organization that means no good.

Other users are so enraged by Sony’s action that they now want to get an Xbox Series X instead of the new PS5. Because Microsoft allegedly did not offer a BLM theme.
The situation in America currently exerts a significant influence on society and also on many developers in the USA. Anyone who wants to learn more about the dramatic circumstances can do so on the topic pages about Black Lives Matter on Zeit.de and Spiegel.de:
The theme in the PS Store is free. There is no automatic installation, so it cannot disturb individuals. However, those who wish to express solidarity now have the opportunity to do so with the free theme.

Actually, this glitch in FIFA 21 is more annoying than funny. But the commentator pulls out all his repertoire to describe the situation. This makes it really funny.
What happened? The player BuschLatte146 shared a video of a glitch in FIFA 21 on reddit. He describes it with the title “I have no words”.
The video shows a squad battle game. In this mode, you play with your Ultimate Team against a team controlled by the computer. The player took a shot shortly after the kickoff, from about the halfway line, presumably trying to catch the goalkeeper off guard.
But apparently the game itself was not quite prepared for the situation. The ball was stuck in the goal corner for several seconds.
What makes the clip so good
You definitely need to listen to the clip with sound. Because the commentator showcases all his skills.

In the middle of a sentence, the commentator Derek Rae is caught off guard by the goal situation. He interrupts his sentence and begins with his observation. Six times in a row, he dryly explains that the ball did not go into the goal, but hit the crossbar or the post.
Meanwhile, the goalkeeper and the player are fooling around on the goal line, trying to get the round ball into the square goal somehow.
Oops and pushed onto the wood work.
And touched onto the frame of the goal.
And foiled only by the crossbar.
The crossbar got in the way.
Well the keeper is happy the bar was there.
Denied by the bar.
Back in play here.
A goal.
Eventually, the ball frees itself, and he continues with “Back in Play here”. Ultimately, the ball does cross the line, and Derek Rae ends with “A Goal”.
In Pokémon GO today, on September 20, the Spotlight Hour with Shuppet starts. It is the kickoff for the Halloween event. We will show you whether the event is worth it.
What is a Spotlight Hour? This event takes place every Tuesday in Pokémon GO. A special Pokémon is then highlighted for one hour.
This week, the Ghost Pokémon Shuppet is in the spotlight. Thus, the spooky season in Pokémon GO begins, which will be exuberantly celebrated with the Halloween event on October 24.
All info about the Spotlight Hour with Shuppet
When does the Spotlight Hour run? It starts today at 6:00 PM local time. For one hour, you will find the Ghost Pokémon Shuppet everywhere.
What are the bonuses? Of course, many Shuppet will appear in the wild, and generally, the spawns are increased.
Additionally, there are double candies for sending Pokémon. You will get 2 candies instead of just one.
Is there Shiny Shuppet? Yes! Since the Halloween event in 2017, you can catch Shiny Shuppet. The chance is about 1 in 450. So you need to be lucky or click on several Shuppet.
Is the event worth it? Shuppet is a rather rare Pokémon and usually only appears at night outside of events. So those who had no luck during the last Halloween events or did not play will be pleased with this chance.
In terms of usability, Shuppet or its evolution Banette is not very interesting. Banette is a solid Ghost attacker, but there are significantly better alternatives.
Halloween is just around the corner in Fortnite. When will the Fortnitemares 2020 finally start? We will show you what leaks there are and what we already know about the event.
When does the Halloween event in Fortnite start? So far, it is still not known when the Fortnitemares will exactly start this year. Epic has always announced the event beforehand.
The Fortnitemares 2019 started on October 29 back then. So there is still at least a week to go, should it proceed similarly this year. Before the event starts, there is usually also an update that prepares the map for the spooky atmosphere.
It will get spooky on the map for Halloween with decorations and lots of fog
How long will the event last? Unfortunately, it is still not clear how long the Fortnitemares will be available.
Based on past Fortnitemares, one could estimate the duration to be around 2 weeks. The Halloween event was usually active for that long.
What can we expect in the Halloween event?
What is known about suitable skins for the event? So far, several Halloween cosmetics have been added to the game. Even entire skin packs are currently available in the item shop.
This Halloween pack is currently available in the item shop for 2,000 V-Bucks
Are there new scary items? Unfortunately, Epic has not yet provided any hints as to whether there will be new weapons or items for the Halloween event. However, dataminers have found some instant items in the data that could possibly be active during Halloween (via Twitter).
An old weapon that can be found in Fortnite every year during Halloween will likely return. The pumpkin rocket launcher, which has been known since the first Halloween event.
The pumpkin head rocket launcher is always found in Fortnite during Halloween
Another feature known from the Fortnitemares are the monsters. These have always been brought to the Fortnite map for Halloween. In a special mode of the Fortnitemares 2019, players had to not only fight against monsters but also defeat the Storm King. Such a limited mode could be expected this year as well.
More information about the Halloween event will surely be available soon. We will keep you updated here on MeinMMO as soon as there are further data regarding the Fortnitemares 2020.

What is today’s maintenance about? Today, The Division 2 receives its next major update following TU11 – the Title Update 11.1 (TU11.1). The new patch not only brings various bug fixes and changes for many areas of the game but will also be accompanied by maintenance work and several hours of downtime.
How large is the Title Update 11.1? On PS4, today’s patch is 3,893 GB in size.
Everything about the Maintenance Schedule
These are the important times: As usual, Massive has announced today’s schedule in advance of the maintenance. Here is what the maintenance will look like today:
Maintenance begins at 9:30 AM German time
At the same time, downtime begins, and the servers go offline on all platforms
According to the plan, maintenance should take 3 hours. During this time, The Division 2 cannot be played
If all goes smoothly, the servers should be back online by 12:30 PM German time
Once the downtime ends, today’s maintenance is also complete
Important: The schedule can change – especially the times for the end of maintenance often shift. If anything goes differently today than communicated here, you will be informed here in the article as soon as possible.
Patch Notes – What is changing today?
What do the patch notes say? Today, the maintenance notes are quite extensive, as Title Update 11.1 brings a lot. Among other things, there are:
an update for Season 3 bounty bosses and checkpoint factions
extensive changes to the Endless Mode “The Summit”. This includes gameplay, loot, scaling, difficulty, and directives.
In Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare, you can now earn 2 free cosmetics that are being released in collaboration with the horror movie Texas Chainsaw Massacre. We will show you how to get them.
What are these cosmetics? A remake of the cult horror film Texas Chainsaw Massacre is coming to theaters, and therefore Activision is entering into a partnership for the Halloween event.
You can earn a creepy emblem and a business card with scary prints completely free. You just have to watch a spooky video.
How to get the two cosmetics from Texas Chainsaw Massacre
This is what you need to do: It’s actually quite simple and takes only a few minutes:
If you want to spread the creepy atmosphere further, you should secure these cosmetics. This way you can show your opponents and teammates that you are particularly in the Halloween spirit.
If you actually do not like the spooky season at all, you can also look forward to the time after. There are some leaks suggesting a new map for Warzone:
The oldest jewels in World of Warcraft are actually the best. Is it worth farming old dungeons from “The Burning Crusade”?
Update 21.10., 03:00 AM: In the meantime, Blizzard has fixed the bug and significantly weakened the jewels from “The Burning Crusade”.
Original report: Patch 9.0 has been in World of Warcraft for almost a week and there are still a number of quirky bugs. The latest one makes the old gemstones from the very first expansion of the game currently optimal. It is indeed worthwhile to go into dungeons for good gear that many players have not visited in 10 years or more.
What is it about? In the “The Burning Crusade” expansion, there were regularly jewels for socket slots as rewards in the heroic dungeons. They often dropped from bosses and were a solid source of good gems. Now, over 13 years after the introduction of these gems, they are suddenly better than the newest jewels in the game.
Old jewels are suddenly worth it again. But for how long?
While current jewels from BfA only provide a bonus of +7 to a secondary attribute (like haste, critical strike rating, etc.), the old jewels are more versatile. They grant +4 to a secondary attribute, but also +5 to a primary attribute (Intellect, Agility, Strength). Thus, they are currently the best jewels in the game.
What is the reason for that? The reason is likely the level squish and widespread adjustment of all items in the game. Apparently, these jewels, which drop at the end of many dungeons, were simply forgotten. As a result, they now have values that make their 13-year-younger gemstone counterparts envious.
A visit to the old dungeons can pay off …
Should one farm old jewels now? No. This bug will probably be fixed – like many before – in the next few days. The gemstones from The Burning Crusade will surely be adjusted and their values reduced to a level that makes them significantly worse than their BfA counterparts. Therefore, exchanging sockets now would lead to better values for just a few days.
Numerous PS4 games are receiving a next-gen upgrade on the PlayStation 5 to take advantage of the technical capabilities of the new console generation. However, this upgrade is not free for every game. We show you titles where you have to pay extra for this.
Old PS4 games on the PS5? Here’s how it works: On the PlayStation 5, you will be able to enjoy 99% of all PS4 games alongside new PS5 games – thanks to the backward compatibility feature of the new Sony console. Only a few PS4 titles remain PS4 exclusive and cannot be played on PS5. You can find out which ones they are here: All known PS4 games that you cannot play on the PS5
What’s the deal with the next-gen upgrade? Some PS4 games will not only run through the backward compatibility of the PS5 but will also receive a special next-gen upgrade. This allows them to benefit more from the new technical possibilities offered by the more powerful PlayStation 5.
For numerous games, this upgrade is free. However, for some, it costs extra or is only tied to special versions and can only be obtained through them.
These games cost extra for the next-gen upgrade: Currently, there are 5 PS4 games known that essentially charge you extra for next-gen features. If you want to experience the following PS4 titles in full glory on next-gen, you will have to pay extra:
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War: Here, the next-gen upgrade will cost 10 USD (which likely means 10 €) and can be purchased individually or as part of the Cross-Gen Bundle or the Ultimate Edition, if you initially buy the game for PS4.
Control: The next-gen upgrade for the PS5 is only available if you purchase the Special Edition of the game. Alternatively, you can directly buy the PS5 version of the game. The Standard Edition cannot be upgraded.
NBA 2K21: You only get the next-gen upgrade if you purchase the Mamba Forever Edition on PS4, which costs almost 40 € more than the standard version. Apparently, there is currently no way to upgrade the standard version from PS4 to next-gen.
Marvel’s Spider Man: The cool thing about it is – there will be a remaster for next-gen that can benefit from the more powerful PS5 hardware. The downside: There will be no free next-gen upgrade for owners of the PS4 version and it won’t be a standalone game. The only way to play this upgraded version is for buyers of the Spider Man Miles Morales Ultimate Edition.
Devil May Cry 5 also gets a PS5 port, but this will not come as a free next-gen upgrade either. Those who want to play DMC5 in better quality and with new technical features on the PS5 must opt for the Special Edition – a kind of re-release for the new console generation with some extras. Owners of DMC5 on PS4 have no alternative way to upgrade the game for PS5.
These games will get a free next-gen upgrade: Numerous developers are offering free upgrades for their games. If you want to know which PS4 games have thus far been confirmed for free next-gen upgrades, check out this article: Old PS4 games on the PS5 – Will all look better?

In Call of Duty: Warzone starts soon the Halloween event “The Haunting of Verdansk” (The Haunting of Verdansk). In the spirit of Trick or Treat, there are at various 16 locations on the map supply boxes that can reward you with cosmetics like skins, sprays, and watches. At the end, the exclusive Pumpkin Punisher weapon blueprint awaits you. We will show you where to look.
What is it about? The Halloween event in Call of Duty: Warzone is currently a hot topic in the community. You can play as famous horror characters like Leatherface or Billy The Puppet from SAW (if you buy them), and new modes, a night map, zombies, and more are coming.
As a challenge for you, the developers hid special supply boxes at 16 locations on Verdansk. Don’t worry, they have nothing to do with microtransactions. As you explore the map and find the boxes, unique rewards await you, which we will show you here. There are weapon blueprints and also spooky surprises to find.
Why should you search for them? Those who find all 16 unique rewards will receive a legendary weapon blueprint for assault rifles. The Pumpkin Punisher.
The legendary Pumpkin Punisher
The Halloween event runs from October 20 to November 3.
Locations of Trick or Treat in Warzone
What you should keep in mind: There is no guarantee that a box with unique loot will reward you. In every area you visit, there is a chance that a Trick-or-Treat box will spawn there.
If you’re unlucky, the box has no reward, but a “trick”. This is meant to be an experience that scares you. The developers confirm, however, that it won’t harm you in the game.
You can only find the boxes in active matches. You can see your progress in the game on the Tac map or in the Warzone menu under the “Halloween event” tab. There you will also find a map with the locations. If you have successfully searched a location, the name will be checked off in the overview.
Tips for finding:
The boxes make noises, which makes them easier to locate
Anyone who knows the spawns of the legendary supply boxes in the mentioned areas will probably have an idea of where the spooky boxes are – those are probably the same spawn points
Look for campers who may be lurking near the boxes waiting for victims
You can find the boxes in all Warzone game modes. From the usual Battle Royale to Zombie Royale, to Plunder
And here you should watch out for the boxes (and listen):
Sector 1 – North
Gora Dam
Arklov Peak Military Base
Karst River Quarry
Sector 2 – West
Verdansk International Airport
Storage Town
Atlas Superstore
Zhokov Boneyard
Sector 3 – Southwest
Hospital
Novi Grazna Hills
Sector 4 – Middle and South
BCH TV Station
Verdansk Stadium
Downtown
Sector 5 – East
Gorengrad Lumber Yard
Port of Verdansk
Zordaya Prison Complex (Gulag)
The exact locations: The YouTuber Grizz Viollent visited all the locations of the boxes and recorded it on video. If you have trouble finding the boxes, check the respective spot in his video.

In Pokémon GO there are now different monsters in the eggs. The egg pools have been completely overhauled. We show you the most important adjustments.
What’s new: Last night, the egg pool was surprisingly revised. In the 2-, 5-, and 10-km eggs, there are now new Pokémon to find. Some disliked Pokémon have been removed, and others have been added.
Currently, the egg pool is still being compiled and cannot be confirmed 100%. Therefore, we will already show you some highlights that have changed.
The highlights of the new egg pool
What is the biggest change? Those who have been excited about the 10-km eggs recently can breathe a sigh of relief. Barschwa is finally no longer in this egg pool! However, one must consider that there are other disappointments, provided they have already caught these Pokémon enough.
This is what the 2-km eggs look like: The analysts from TheSilphRoad report a completely new pool here. So far, no starter Pokémon can be found in it.
Instead, there are monsters like Voltilamm, Tragosso, Quapsel, and Volbeat here. Generally, there are some possible shinies from the 2-km eggs.
Voltilamm is now available in the 2-km eggs
We show you an overview of previous reports from the eggs:
Quapsel (confirmed)
Picochilla
Haspiror (confirmed)
Tragosso
Voltilamm (confirmed)
Zubat
Snubbull (confirmed)
Karpador
Wablu
Wailmer (confirmed)
Bamelin
Volbeat
Yorkleff
Felino
This is what the 5-km eggs look like: Here some good Pokémon also celebrate their comeback. Voltobal and Machollo are now in the eggs. That’s not bad, as both can also be shiny.
Trainers are also reporting that they have received Barschwa from the eggs. This is probably because Barschwa is no longer in the 10-km eggs.
Voltobal is now available in the 5-km eggs – also as shiny.
This is the list of all previously observed Pokémon in the 5-km eggs:
Pygraulon can also be found in the 10-km eggs. The Pokémon hardly appeared anymore in the wild after the Enigma Week. Those who haven’t played there can now fill up their candies through the eggs.
Emolga can now also be found in the eggs. It currently appears very rarely in the wild.
Geronimatz now hatches from the 10-km eggs.
Here we show you all observed Pokémon in the 10-km eggs:
Geronimatz
Praktibalk
Emolga
Pygraulon
Klikk
Ohrdoch
Lichtel
Riolu
Sheinux
Kastadur
Flampion
Golbit
Pokémon like Kaumalat, Kapuno, or Milza have not yet been confirmed so far. However, take into account that they can also be incredibly rare and therefore it may take some time to confirm them. Monsters like Lichtel, Praktibalk, and Riolu have already been hatched by some players.
If you do not want to rely on the eggs, you can look forward to the Halloween event 2020 to collect a new shiny:
In Genshin Impact today, on October 20, the new character Klee is being released. We at MeinMMO will tell you what she can do and how you can obtain Klee.
Who is Klee? Klee is a new, girlish character with the Pyro element in Genshin Impact. She relies on explosions, magic, and uses a catalyst as her weapon.
Klee was even playable in the Closed Beta. Those who reached Adventure Rank 32 back then could already secure her for their team. However, she was removed at launch and has not been available since then.
How to get Klee
What’s new? On October 20 at 7:00 PM our time, new wishes will appear in the game. One of them, the “Flaming Steps” wish, brings Klee and directly increases your chance of getting the new character.
Klee comes with new wishes and even has increased chances.
The chance of drawing a 5-star hero is also 0.6% in this wish. The chance that Klee will appear in a hit is 50%. If you draw another 5-star hero, the chance for Klee at the next 5-star hit is 100%.
Furthermore, there is also the rule that you are guaranteed to receive a 5-star character after 90 attempts. Klee is therefore quite safely obtainable, although the gacha system can also tempt you to spend real money.
If you want to earn wishes in-game, the best way to do this is through Original Resin. We at MeinMMO have already told you how to get Original Resin quickly.
Just like Xiangling, one of the best characters in the game, Klee can be wonderfully used as an elemental supporter to trigger elemental reactions. You just need to coordinate the bombs well with character switching.
How does Klee play? You can already get to know Klee’s skills and character in a presentation video from the developers. There you see the many explosions that will bring you great joy:

What else changes with the new wishes? Through the “Flaming Steps” wish, you can earn not only Klee but also Xingqiu, Noelle and Sucrose . These characters are also ranked in our B or C Tier.
The third wish, “Wanderlust”, provides no advantages but will remain permanently. If you want to learn more about the new wishes and their associated contents and chances, you can find all the info here:
The R.A.T Pro X3 Supreme Edition is an exceptionally configurable mouse. MeinMMO presents what the mouse from Mad Catz can do and how it performs in testing.
Which mouse is it about? The mouse we want to introduce you to in this article is the R.A.T. Pro X3 Supreme Edition from Mad Catz. The manufacturer officially presented the Limited Edition of the mouse on the occasion of the Year of the Rat in China. MeinMMO took a closer look at the mouse and reveals what we like and what we like less.

R.A.T Pro X3 Supreme Edition in Detail
What is special about the mouse? The R.A.T Pro X3 Supreme Edition stands out due to its unusual design. While other mice are closed, this device features many open spaces. This is also because some parts of the mouse can be replaced.
R.A.T Pro X3 Supreme Edition package: The mouse offers several parts for replacement.
The manufacturer includes two palm rests, 2 scroll wheels, a pinky rest, two thumb rests, and a set of replaceable glide feet with the actual mouse. With the included screwdriver, the parts can be changed in just a few minutes. What cannot be changed is the braided USB cable, the mouse buttons, and the sensor, which is firmly integrated into the reinforced magnesium alloy housing.
Weight: At 105 grams, the mouse from Mad Catz is slightly lighter than the comparable competition. It also appears somewhat slimmer than the bulky Kone Aimo Remastered from Roccat or the also quite large G 502 Hero from Logitech. When comparing the mice directly, this becomes quite clear.
R.A.T Pro X3 Supreme Edition: Weight in Comparison:
Logitech G Pro Wireless
81 grams
R.A.T Pro X3 Supreme Edition
105 grams
Razer Lancehead
111 grams
Logitech G 502 Hero
121 grams
Roccat Kone Aimo Remastered
130 grams
Glide Feet: The glide feet are replaceable like almost every part of the mouse. You can choose between ceramic and Teflon feet. Both are said to provide differently good glide properties on different surfaces.
Grip Type: Especially with palm grip, the mouse is well suited, which is also due to the semi-open design. Claw grip is also possible. Fingertip grip may not be suitable due to the relatively high palm rest. In the test, we used the mouse exclusively in palm grip.
What sensor does the mouse use? The mouse from Mad Catz uses the PixArt PMW-3389. This is an optical sensor and belongs to the best currently available on the market. Even better would be the PixArt PMW-3399, which would offer even higher speed. However, this is currently reserved for Razer and is for example used in the Viper Ultimate.
R.A.T Pro X3 Supreme Edition Software
What we like about the software: The design looks clean and organized, and it can be operated with just a few clicks. Almost all functions are directly accessible from the main interface.
It is also possible to import old profiles into the software. In total, you can use 10 profiles side by side. However, if you want, you can also create custom commands or choose from a variety of buttons to assign to your mouse buttons. You can assign almost any key on the keyboard, as well as most functions of Windows to the mouse. With drag & drop, the buttons are then moved to the correct place. This is unusual, but works without problems.
The software from Mad Catz presents itself neat and clear.
What we like less: Installing the software is unnecessarily complicated, as it cannot be installed easily. If you have downloaded the software and want to run it, Windows shows only a warning.
So far, only a workaround helps: We had to download the driver from the official site and then grant permission for the software for Windows (via right click and properties) so that we could even install it.
Problems with the software: It cannot be installed easily. Complicated, but it works.
You also cannot set the location where you want to install the software, what gets installed, and also not how big the software is. If you do not have enough system memory, the software shows a successful installation, but nothing is actually installed.
In Practice
In this section, we present how the mouse performs in practical tests. We will discuss weight and speed, but also which sensor works in the mouse and what possibilities the mouse offers in practice.
The R.A.T Pro X3 Supreme Edition sits comfortably in the hand.
Weight, Texture, and Handling
Weight and Grip: At 105 grams, the mouse is in the middle range of gaming mice. The mouse buttons feel slightly rougher, giving them a pleasant grip. Even in heated battles, the mouse remained firm in hand, and we did not slip.
R.A.T Pro X3 Supreme Edition: The exchange of parts is easy.
Exchange of Parts: A special highlight is the exchange of parts, as most parts of the mouse can be replaced. And this is very easy with the included screwdriver. The included quick guide explains how the parts can be exchanged.
After changing the parts, the mouse feels noticeably different in hand but never uncomfortable. The ergonomics are well done and can be improved even further by the various parts to better fit your own hand.
The actual problem, however, lies in the back of the parts: While the screws themselves are made of metal, the threads and holders are made of plastic. We cannot answer how durable these plastic pins are and how well they hold the parts to the mouse body. However, for an expensive mouse, the question arises as to why not a higher quality material has been used.
A thumb rest from the back: The screws and holders are made of transparent plastic. Plastic pins hold the part to the mouse.
Glide Feet and Handling: On the back, there are four glide feet that ensure the mouse glides over the mousepad. These glide feet can also be replaced: optionally, we can use ceramic or Teflon feet. However, we did not notice a significant difference. Both types are very pleasant and allow the mouse to glide easily over the mousepad or other surfaces. The weight and modularity of the mouse do not hinder the glide capability.

The Mouse Buttons and Scroll Wheel
The mouse buttons are precise and respond without delay. At the same time, there is a clear feedback on the buttons. We hear and feel the mouse buttons, which is not unpleasant. By the way, the mouse buttons cannot be replaced. The scroll wheel that the manufacturer has provided for the mouse is also very good. It is pleasantly notched, feels good under the index finger, and allows for precise navigation.
Manufacturer Mad Catz uses Omron switches in the mouse with a minimum durability of at least 50 million clicks. In comparison, the Logitech G Pro Wireless offers at least 50 million clicks, while Razer’s Viper Ultimate offers a bit more with 70 million clicks.

Special Functions: Useful but Peculiar Placement
The side buttons are precisely reachable, and the quick buttons are easy to use. However, switching profiles seems a bit cumbersome. If you want to switch profiles on the mouse, you must either do it via the software or turn the mouse over: Because on the back, you will find the display for the profile as well as a button to switch profiles.
The Sensor of the R.A.T Pro X3 Supreme Edition: High-end Sensor with High Precision
With the Pixart PMW3389, Mad Catz has integrated one of the best sensors currently available in its mouse. Gaming mice like the Lioncast LM60 or the Razer Viper (without Ultimate) use the same sensor. In practice, however, these differences are not noticeable.
The precision of the sensor can also be demonstrated by the raw data from the sensor. On the X-axis are the measurement points of the sensor, while the Y-axis indicates the duration of movement. In the example, the mouse was quickly moved from right to left.
Raw data from the mouse. The points fluctuate above and below the line; the closer, the better, because that indicates the consistency of the data coming from the sensor. Strong deviations are negative.
The closer the points are to the line, the better. The stronger the deviation, the less accurate the raw data from the sensor.
The data shows primarily that the data from the sensor are very accurate. There are deviations only with rapid changes of mouse movement. These are sometimes more pronounced than others.
The mouse has no issues with different surfaces. Even off the mousepad, on rough stone surfaces, or on glass, the mouse sensor remains precise and accurate. Only the Hero sensor from Logitech or the Razer Focus+ from Razer may be slightly more precise.
Conclusion
Benedikt’s Conclusion:
Mad Catz delivers a premium mouse at a premium price with the R.A.T. Pro X3 Supreme Edition. The sensor is very precise and accurate, the scroll wheel is grippy and very pleasant to use. Additionally, it comes with a large range of accessories, including a case, which few other mice offer. Those who take the time to get to know the mouse can individually put together their best mouse, as the individual parts can be exchanged in just a few moments, leaving little to be desired.
In detail, however, things are bothersome, especially regarding the build quality. On one hand, Mad Catz incorporates one of the best available sensors and uses a stable housing made of magnesium alloy. On the other hand, the parts of the mouse are secured with a plastic thread. Anyone who changes the parts regularly may eventually have worn threads.

Who is the mouse suitable for? The mouse is especially suitable for users looking for a comparatively light and precise mouse. It could also be interesting for esports players due to the transport case and the many options to customize it to their hand. On the other hand, the high price of the mouse can be off-putting.

How much will the Xbox Series cost? The Xbox Series X costs €499.99. A price that many players anticipated even before the announcement. The price was confirmed on September 9.
The smaller S version costs €200 less.
The Xbox One launched at a price of 500 euros for a 500 GB hard drive, one controller, and a Kinect sensor. Speculation arose that laptopmag.com suggested that Microsoft was likely to offer its new console for 500 – 550 euros again.
Xbox Series X as a gaming PC: What would the Xbox Series X actually cost as a gaming PC? We took a look at this for you and present here what the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 could cost as a PC.
Can you pre-order the Xbox Series X? So far, the new console from Microsoft cannot be pre-ordered. Pre-orders will be activated starting September 22, 2020.
Graphics: Microsoft promises a GPU with a performance of 12 teraflops. This is supposed to be delivered by the Zen 2 with RDNA 2 from AMD. Google Stadia is expected to offer 10.2 teraflops and the PS5 10.28 teraflops of performance.
DirectX Raytracing: The Xbox Series X is expected to offer ray tracing. This technique is supported by the hardware.
HDMI 2.1: HDMI 2.1 supports Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) and Variable Refresh Rate (VRR). Both should prevent unpleasant side effects like tearing. The current console generation still relies on HDMI 2.0.
Variable Rate Shading (VRS): The Xbox Series X is said to use its own, patented technology from Microsoft. This is supposed to provide players with a stable frame rate at higher resolutions.
Refresh rate: Microsoft also promises that up to 120 fps should be possible on the Xbox Series X.
How much performance does the Xbox Series X offer? In terms of performance, the Xbox Series X is supposed to significantly surpass the Xbox One X: Xbox head Phil Spencer explains that the Xbox Series X is expected to be 8 times faster:
Xbox Series X Review: What do the first previews say about the next-gen console
When did the review embargo end? Since October 15, the first previews of the new console have been allowed to be published online. There are now also first reports about the Xbox Series X.
What do the first voices say? The first voices praise especially the “feeling” of the console. Especially highlighted are the fast loading times and Quick Resume. With this, you can switch directly from one game to another. Thanks to the short loading times, you have much more time for gaming.
Our colleagues from GamePro praise the incredibly powerful console and the low loading times and especially the fast dashboard. You can clearly notice the performance leap compared to the Xbox One. The controller of the Xbox Series X is also a noticeable improvement over the One pads.
More about the first German previews of the Xbox Series X can be found here:
How much does the Xbox Series S cost? On September 8, 2020, Xbox revealed the smaller Xbox Series version, the “S”.
The Xbox Series S costs €299
How big is the Series S? According to Xbox, this is supposed to be the most compact Xbox of all time. There are already first pictures of the console. It stands out due to the dark-colored ventilation inlet on the side. The Xbox Series S is supposed to be 60% smaller than the Xbox Series X.

The Xbox Series S offers less performance in total than the Xbox Series X: The processor and graphics chip clock lower than the more expensive model, and the memory is also lower at 10 GB compared to Series X (16 GB).
This also explains the biggest difference between the two Xbox consoles: The Series S is only designed for a 1440p resolution while gaming and not for 4K. However, upscaling to 4K is possible.
Those who want the best performance right from the start should go for the Xbox Series X.

Xbox Series S Pre-order: Is the console worth it?
The Xbox Series S is significantly cheaper at €299 than the Xbox Series X, which costs €499. Especially with the Xbox Game Pass, the Series S offers an extremely affordable next-gen offer.
The Series S, unlike the Series X, has no drive and relies entirely on digital games.
The hard drive is only 512 GB large, half that of the Xbox Series S
The Series X offers 4K, the Series S only 1440p and 4K scaling.
For whom is the console worth it? What speaks for the purchase of the smallest Xbox and for whom the Series S is not suitable, we explain in detail in our article:
Microsoft announced that the processor of the new console can provide about four times the performance of the Xbox One X. With this performance, resolutions of up to 8K are said to be possible. The stated goal is to achieve a resolution of 4K with up to 120 frames per second, according to Microsoft.
Is the Xbox One X still worth buying? Currently, the Xbox One X with a game and controller costs around €300. The weaker model, the Xbox One S, is currently available for around €170 to €190.
For around €300, the Xbox One X with game and controller is a fair offer (at launch, the console cost €500).
Thus, in the eyes of author Sven Wernicke, the current generation is still worthwhile. He writes on Euronics.de:
By the time the Xbox Scarlett has a rich game lineup and is in a moderate price range, the calendar will likely read 2021. So you still have plenty of time to get a suitable 8K TV and play a lot with the Xbox One.
For many players, the Xbox One X with its 4K is currently more than sufficient. Furthermore, as Wernicke points out, Microsoft has only announced a handful of games for the Xbox Series X so far, which is still very little.
Is the Xbox One S still worth buying? The S version is the smaller brother of the Xbox One X and is cheaper. However, the S version offers significantly less performance than the X version.
With the announcement of the Xbox Series S, there are hardly any reasons to buy the smallest Xbox One model. For €300, the Xbox Series S offers about three times the performance. For games like Fortnite, FIFA, and other titles, you should rather go for the Series S.
The only important argument currently in favor of the One S is the drive and the likely steep drop in the console’s price after the release of the Series S/X. Those who want to play Blu-rays or game discs should either opt for the Xbox One or go directly for the Xbox Series X.
Should you buy an Xbox One or PS4? If you’re considering whether to buy a PS4 or Xbox One, take a look at our article. Here we have listed all the arguments for or against purchasing the old consoles:
Xbox Series X – Features, VR, and Backward Compatibility
An image from the reveal trailer of the Xbox Scarlett.
The new Xbox Series X supports ray tracing and comes with a fast SSD hard drive, which ensures short loading times.
Xbox Series X: Backward Compatibility
Is the Series X backward compatible? According to Microsoft, the Xbox Series X will also be able to play the old games from the last four generations and even take over save states.
The Xbox team has now also explained what advantages this offers. You can play the old games at higher and more stable frame rates, higher resolutions are supported, and the old games also benefit from the fast SSD:
Does the Xbox Series X support cross-gen?: Microsoft did not say so, but indirectly addressed it. For example, Xbox chief Phil Spencer said in a Twitter post that he is already playing with the new console and playing with other Xbox players. This at least suggests crossplay between the different console generations.
Does the Xbox Series X support VR? Xbox chief Phil Spencer stated in an interview with Stevior.com that the focus of the new console is not on VR.
I think we will have it [VR] at some point, but we are not focusing on it.
Ray tracing will play an important role in the Xbox Series X. Microsoft has now explained that sound is also expected to be computed using ray tracing.
All titles mentioned have not yet been released. For Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, Microsoft, in collaboration with developer Ninja Theory, has released a teaser:

Extended Game Pass: In line with the launch of the new consoles, Microsoft has come up with a strong innovation for the Game Pass Ultimate. A partnership with Electronic Arts ensures that you can obtain the best titles like FIFA, Battlefield, Titanfall, and others without additional cost through the Battle Pass.
What about exclusives for the Xbox Series X? Xbox chief Phil Spencer has explained that he thinks exclusives like those for the PS5 are the wrong way to go. Rather, he wants to offer a complete ecosystem with Xbox whereby all users can play on any device. What he also said can be read here: Xbox chief explains why PS5 is completely wrong with exclusives.
What do developers say? Some developers have also spoken positively about the games on the Xbox Series X and PS5. For example, Stuart Tilley, Game Developer and co-founder of Firesprite, explained that developers now have completely new possibilities with Xbox Series X and PS5: They used to have to discard many features due to long loading times, which they can now implement.
What does Smart Delivery mean? Smart Delivery means that if you buy any version of the game, you always have access to the best version of that game, regardless of the hardware.
What does backward compatibility mean? This means that old games will run smoothly on the new console. This means buyers of the Xbox Series X can also utilize a variety of old games on the new version.
General Questions about the Xbox Series X
This is the new controller that will be shipped with the Xbox Series X.
MeinMMO spoke with Xbox chief: In an interview, we from MeinMMO, together with our other sister brands at Webedia (including GameStar and GamePro), spoke with Xbox chief Phil Spencer. We discussed the Xbox Game Pass, cloud gaming, and the close integration of PC and Xbox.
What do we know about the new controller? The new controller, which is delivered with the Xbox Series X, is supposed to be very similar to the previous controller of the Xbox One. Microsoft has now explained the new controller in a detailed blog post (via new.xbox.com).
This is what the new Xbox controller offers: Ryan Whitaker, Senior Designer at Xbox, explained what the new controller will include:
Compatibility of the controller with Xbox One consoles
Support for PC, Android, and iOS devices
USB-C port for charging and connecting to the console
Dynamic Latency Input (DLI): particularly fast connection to the console
HDMI connection to the TV
Share button: ability to capture images and videos without a separate menu and share them. It thus resembles the share button of the PS4 controller.
What has been changed in the Xbox One controller? Microsoft has also adjusted the surface of the controller. Special dot patterns on the shoulder and trigger buttons are said by Microsoft to help the controller lie better in hands. The D-Pad, shoulder, and trigger buttons now also use a matte material to ensure that the controller always fits securely in hand.
This is what the Share button on the Xbox Series X controller looks like, Microsoft has officially presented the controller. Source: new.xbox.com
Pre-order Xbox Series X Controller: You can pre-order the controller for €59.99 in various colors:

Xbox Series X: Size and Structure
How large will the new console be? Many users had speculated about how large the console will be. The presented design differs completely from the previous generation: The console from Microsoft looks more like a PC tower than a console.
By now, the exact dimensions of the console are also known (length x width x height):
The Xbox Series X measures: 151 mm x 151 mm x 301 mm.
In comparison, the Xbox One X measures: 299.7 mm x 238.7 mm x 60.9 mm.
The footprint of the Xbox Series X is considerably smaller than that of the Xbox One X; however, it is significantly taller: While the Xbox One X is only 60.9 mm high, the Xbox Series X, at 301 mm, is more than five times as high.
The Xbox Series X has strong hardware that generates high heat development. And this can be better managed with the tower structure than with a flat case.
Xbox Series X: What the name means
Is Xbox Series X the official name of the new console? At E3 2019, Microsoft introduced their new console as “Project Scarlet”. At “The Game Awards,” Microsoft presented its new console as “Xbox Series X”.
Project Scarlett and Xbox Series X: The new console from Microsoft has many names.
However, this is not the official name of the console. Microsoft explained (via IGN) that the official name of the new console is simply “Xbox”. The name Xbox Series X offers the advantage of leaving room for future consoles. Microsoft explains:
As fans have already noticed in previous generations, the name “Xbox Series X” leaves enough room for other consoles in the future.
What do you think about Microsoft’s new console? Would you buy it or would you prefer to go for the competition from Sony, the new PlayStation 5, which will be released in parallel?

In the Horror Coop Game Phasmophobia, the goal is actually to get scared. But when hackers make shocking moments occur in supposedly safe spaces, causing streamers to be terrified, the fun ends for many. Read here what happened and how to protect yourself.
What happened? The game revolves around horror. Fear and solid shock moments. But these occur directly in the game. However, some streamers were terribly scared because hackers made the creepy ghosts appear in the lobby before the game.

The lobby is usually a safe zone where players gather for the upcoming mission or recover from the shock between games. It’s quite unfortunate when suddenly a spooky howling ghost appears and grabs the players with disgusting ghost hands.

But how do such attacks even occur, and what can be done about them?
Hackers Use Mods for Terror
What’s Behind It? The cause of the unwanted ghost appearances are likely mods. Phasmophobia is a PvE coop game, and the developers have not implemented an anti-cheat protection. But that seems to be the problem, as it appears to be quite easy for hackers to invade lobbies and make changes to the game via cheats/mods.
There has also been a statement from the developers:
We are aware that there have been a number of rounds in which the game has been modified using third-party tools (cheats). These include changes such as increasing player limits, altering AI behavior, and simply increasing cash or levels. We cannot support this as it causes a number of problems throughout the game, including corrupting saved games and destabilizing servers for other players.
How Can You Protect Yourself? Until the developers do something about the problem, you should first stay away from lobbies that are clearly “modded”. You can often recognize these by the fact that more than 4 players are in them. To be sure that no hacker comes to you, streamer 8Bit advises using the beta version of the game. The developers reportedly suggested this to him.

What many players find really annoying is the new limitation of some abilities that can now only hit a limited number of targets.
What has changed? Some abilities that previously hit all targets in the vicinity can now only hit a limited number of enemies. Many abilities are now restricted to 5 or 8 targets, such as Whirlwind or the Paladin’s Divine Storm. Other abilities simply deal less damage when hitting more targets – this is especially the case for tanks.
This is what players say: The topic is being discussed wildly in the community. Almost every day there are several posts in the WoW subreddit or the official forums criticizing this change. For example, LsmLsmLsm writes in a post with over 3,000 upvotes:
I wanted to try my Paladin, do a few “Mythic+” dungeons, jump into a group, and go the usual way. But what happens when I use Divine Storm? Half of the enemies are completely immune to my spell, even though they are right in the animation.
I wanted to do some low-level raids with my Warrior. So I run through, 20 mobs are chasing me. I use Whirlwind, the animation hits everyone, but how many die? Damn 5.
Why? The game just feels slower because of that.
The user mackpack even compares this to the controversial changes to the global cooldown from Patch 8.0, which caused a lot of trouble back then.
This is the same as the GCD changes in 8.0.
Instead of designing the cooldowns so that it’s not optimal to use them all at the same time, Blizzard introduced the global cooldown, making it still optimal to use them all at once, but it just feels worse.
Instead of designing the dungeons so that Giga-Pulls are not optimal, they placed a cap on AoE abilities, making Giga-Pulls just feel worse. (…)
And the worst thing is: Neither Giga-Pulls nor the stacking of powerful cooldowns were the real problems.
What do you think? Do you think the cap on some abilities is good? Or should everything be hit and deal less damage instead?
In Genshin Impact there are 3 mysterious Nameless Treasures. We at MeinMMO will tell you where to find the treasures and what you can get as a reward.
What kind of treasures are these? The 3 Nameless Treasures are hidden chests that can only be opened after solving a riddle.
They are worth it, as you receive 40 Intertwined Fates by opening each chest. Additionally, you can exchange the 3 found items with the antique dealer Linglang in Liyue for 100,000 Mora and another 40 Intertwined Fates.
However, Linglang will only trade the treasures with you when it is already dark (after 21:00).
At the orange circle is the antique dealer.
Why are the Nameless Treasures worth it? The Intertwined Fates that you receive from the chests can be exchanged for wishes, which is important to get the best characters and the best weapons in Genshin Impact. Therefore, it is worth it to find the treasures.
We will now reveal to you exactly where you can find the 3 Nameless Treasures. The order in which you open the treasures does not matter.

You will find the first Nameless Treasure in the Dunyu Mausoleum. There you will discover a sealed Geo Statue. To break the seal, you need to light 4 torches in the area. For this, you need a Pyro character.
Amber is suitable with her bow because you can hit all the torches directly from the statue. You will find the torches in the following places:
Directly next to the statue
A little below on a staircase
On a stone pillar
In the water next to a pillar
You can easily see Torches 1, 3, and 4. Torch 2 is located below on a staircase near the red circle.
After that, you need to use a Geo character to interact with the Geo Statue. This lowers the water level, allowing you to approach the chest. However, it is surrounded by a wind barrier. Now you need to find 3 Seelies.
The first is located on the plateau near the Geo Statue
Seelie 2 is located in the eastern part of the mausoleum. It is behind a grate. To free it, you must complete the challenge in front of it.
The last Seelie is on the lower level in the west of the mausoleum, near the rune guardian. However, you do not need to defeat it.
Once you have guided the Seelies to their place, the barrier will disappear, and you can access the treasure.
Nameless Treasure 2 – “Whose is the Lingju Treasure?”
In Lingju Pass, you will find a camp full of enemies. Defeat them and open a chest in the camp. Inside, you will find a key to open the cage there. Inside, you will find Alrani, who gives you a quest.
For this, you must go to the Golden Tree. It is in the middle of Lingju Pass. There, you should dig up a chest that also contains the Nameless Treasure. The spot is easily recognizable because it is sandy and not covered with grass.
Nameless Treasure 3 – Qingxu Pool
The last Nameless Treasure is located in the Qingxu Pool. There you need to read a stone tablet that tells you that you will get the treasure when you activate 5 Geo Seals.
These seals are easy to see as they lie openly on the ground. You will again need a Geo character to activate them, and some time to climb the various towers:
The first seal is located directly in front of the tablet
You will find the seal in the tower opposite the tablet
Seal 3 is located in the tower northwest of the tablet
This seal is located at the top of the tower southeast of the tablet
The last seal is in the tower far south of the pool.
Now you have all 3 treasures and can visit Linglang.
Directly at the stone you will find the first Geo Seal and at the end also the chest.
With the major Anniversary Update, Call of Duty: Mobile has received numerous new contents. Among them is the Arsenal feature that manages your legendary weapons. MeinMMO explains what it’s all about and how to use the Arsenal.
What is the Arsenal? The new feature has been available since the pre-patch for the major birthday update with Season 11 in CoD Mobile. It allows you to view all your legendary weapons.
You can access it by tapping on “Arsenal” at the bottom right of the main screen. There you will see all the legendary weapons available in the mobile shooter.
Along with the feature, a new rarity tier for weapons has been introduced: mythic. Currently, the only mythic weapon is the Fennec-Ascended with a pretty cool skin. More weapons are expected to be showcased in the Arsenal in the future.
The first mythic weapon in the game: The Fennec-Ascended.
Currently, there isn’t too much information circulating about the Arsenal. MeinMMO reveals what you can do with the new feature.
Manage and Upgrade Legendary Weapons
How to use the Arsenal: The primary function of the Arsenal is to view the legendary weapons and your weapon collection. In the top right, the Arsenal shows you how many skins you still need.
At the bottom, you can expand a bar that allows you to easily scroll through all available skins. By tapping on the three dots next to the name, you can see the properties of the weapon.
The various options of the Arsenal. Here: The new skin of the HVK-30.
In the future, it should also be possible to customize the weapons with new modifications, similar to regular weapons in the gunsmith feature.
According to expert iFerg, these attachments are even designed in the style of the respective weapons (via YouTube). Legendary weapons can also be upgraded to enhance their stats.
How can I upgrade legendary weapons? Currently, it is not possible to upgrade the weapons. This will likely only be possible in a future update.
How do I get legendary weapons? You obtain legendary skins through the draws that appear every week. You can find the menu on the left side of the screen.
Here you can find the draws and the Arsenal.
For the draws, you need to pay CoD points, which is real cash currency. The first draw costs you 80 points and gets progressively more expensive. With each draw, you receive one of the items from the collection.
In the worst-case scenario, depending on the draw, you might have to spend up to 100 € or more. However, through certain actions or events, you can also receive free draws.
This is currently what you can win.
Criticism of the Arsenal: As some features are currently missing, some players see the Arsenal as a useless addition. They perceive it as a tool to show them that they don’t own great skins.
We will show you which strong players are currently relatively cheap.
These players have significantly dropped in price and are worth it for your team
What kind of players are these? We looked at top players who were much more expensive just a few days ago. Now they have significantly dropped in price (as of October 19) and more FUT players can afford them.
Although the cards on this list are not absolute cheap players that can be had for a few thousand coins, if you save a bit or try your hand at trading, you’ll quickly have the necessary coins in your FUT account.
Richarlison – 11,000 coins (PS4)
Gold card of Richarlison
This is why the card is worth it: The Brazilian striker cost around 30,000 coins (PS4) on October 14, but is now available for just under 11,000 coins. And you should invest that if you’re still looking for an affordable striker for your Premier League team.
Particularly strong about his card is the speed and the good shooting and dribbling values. However, the biggest advantage is his weak foot ability, with 5 stars on the weak foot making Richarlison a real goal machine.
This is why the card is worth it: Erling Haaland is among the absolute top strikers in the Bundesliga, along with Robert Lewandowski. This was also reflected in the price of the Norwegian. For a long time, he was not available for less than 100,000 coins. On October 14, he even cost 115,000 coins (PS4).
But with the current market price, you can get him for just under 49,000 coins. And that’s certainly not a bad investment. Because Haaland is very fast, tall and has fantastic shooting and physical values. The 3-star weak foot and skill moves don’t really hinder him.
This is why the card is worth it: Sure, 60,000 coins are not exactly cheap. And yes, Bale received a significant downgrade in FIFA 21. But the card is still quite strong this year. Because for a card with an 83 overall rating, the individual values are quite strong. Especially speed, shooting, and passing are impressive.
This is what the card can do: If you play a La Liga team and Eder Militao has been too expensive for you so far, you should take another look at the center-back, as his price has dropped quite a bit. You can now get him for 21,000 coins.
And that is a good price for a defender with these top values. Especially speed, defense, and physical stats stand out. These values are very strong and can even be boosted further with an “Anchor” chemistry style.
This is what the card can do: Gabriel Jesus is a fast striker who particularly impresses with his speed and his shooting and dribbling values. In addition, his 4-star skill moves help to outplay opposing defenders.
Therefore, it’s not bad that the striker is now available for under 50,000 coins. A week ago, he still cost around 70,000 coins.
Have you already taken advantage of the fluctuating transfer market? Or are you saving your coins for the really expensive cards?
