Season 11 of Call of Duty: Mobile has started, and there are various skins for your characters and weapons that you can get from the Battle Pass, crates, draws, and bundles. We present the cosmetics to you.
Especially exciting are the numerous skins that have appeared or are yet to come in Season 11. We provide you with an overview.
These skins are in the Battle Pass
These are the skins: There are several new characters that you can obtain solely from the Battle Pass. They include:
Spectre – Pixel Spy
Reaper – Premium
Zero – Mist
Scylla – Future Loader
We show you the 4 skins here:
Reaper
Scylla
Zero
Spectre
These skins are available through loot crates and bundles
Here are the skins in crates: If you like to invest something in the game, you can hope for the skins and other cosmetics in the loot crates. There are already many different crates available, each containing various cosmetics.
Throughout the season, more cosmetics will also be unlocked through crates. We embed a video here that shows all the skins and cosmetics from crates that you can likely obtain in Season 11. However, keep in mind that these are leaks and not official information from the developers:

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:

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.
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.
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

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.

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
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.
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”.
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:
An example of quests in the Battle Pass.
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.
Deathmatch
The Viridescent Hunt
Solar Pearl
Serpent Spine
The Black Sword
As a reminder: Genshin Impact is playable on PS4, PC, Android, and iOS, and is still in development for Nintendo Switch.
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-Venusaur leaves
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“.
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.
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.

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.

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.

What you can win: If you are lucky, you will find 16 unique goodies for your Warzone experience in the boxes. If you collect all 16, you will also receive the cool Pumpkin Punisher blueprint at the end.
In the overview, we will show you all calling cards, charms, sprays, the watch, stickers, and more:

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.

If you are looking for a mouse with an enormous range and options for configuration, or a mouse with an elegant design, you should take a closer look at the R.A.T. PRO X3 Supreme Edition. If you are simply looking for a good gaming mouse with similar durability in the switches and a similarly precise sensor, you can already get more for your money with the in-house MadCatz R.A.T. 6+.
