In Pokémon GO you can now find the Origin Forme of Giratina in the legendary raids. We will show you how you can defeat it with just three players and only at level 25.
How long will the Origin Forme of Giratina be available? You have 2 weeks for this legendary Pokémon. It will remain in level-5 raids until October 23. After that, it will make room for a special raid boss for Halloween.
To ensure you have no difficulties during the raid, we will show you how to defeat the boss with just three players. You only need to be at level 25.
Defeating Giratina easily with three players
Use these counters: Giratina is of the Ghost and Dragon types. It is vulnerable to the types Dragon, Ice, Fairy, Ghost, and Dark. It has many weaknesses that you should exploit.
Use these aids: The trio against Giratina is already easy to handle. However, to ensure you have no issues, you should aim for a high friendship level. This will strengthen you in battle.
The same goes for the weather bonus. If you battle with Pokémon that are currently strengthened by the weather, it will also provide an additional bonus.
However, in our calculations, we have only considered the friendship level. This is not as important, as Giratina can also be defeated without this bonus.
Defeating Giratina at level 25 – Here’s how
Meet these requirements: Even at this low level, you can defeat Giratina quite easily with three players. If you have a good friendship level among yourselves, you should have no trouble. But even if you are not friends, it works.
Darkrai is one of the best Pokémon against Giratina.
Use these Pokémon: If you are best friends, you can bring a total of 15 Pokémon at level 25 to defeat the Origin Forme of Giratina. But make sure to use the right moves:
Garchomp with Dragon Tail and Outrage
Darkrai with Feedback and Shadow Ball
Rayquaza with Dragon Tail and Outrage
Zekrom with Fire Fang and Outrage
Palkia with Dragon Tail and Draco Meteor
Dragonite with Dragon Tail and Dragon Claw
Salamence with Dragon Tail and Draco Meteor
Froslass with Feedback and Avalanche
Galarian Obstagoon with Ice Fang and Avalanche
Dialga with Fire Fang and Draco Meteor
Hydreigon with Fire Fang and Feedback
Tyranitar with Bite and Crunch
Giratina (Origin Form) with Dark Claw and Shadow Ball
Reshiram with Fire Fang and Draco Meteor
Walrein with Powder Snow and Avalanche
Why is there already so much choice? Giratina is vulnerable to a total of 5 types. Additionally, the effective types have very strong Pokémon among them. This is why you can choose from 15 Pokémon at level 25 to defeat the Origin Forme of Giratina in a trio.
Defeating Giratina at level 30 – Here’s how
Meet these requirements: At this level, Giratina can be defeated almost effortlessly in a trio. Without a friendship level, you have enough time with the best counters, and if you even have that bonus, you will get through the raid even faster.
Even Mewtwo with the Ice move Ice Beam is useful.
Use these Pokémon: Here you have many more Pokémon to choose from.
Garchomp with Dragon Tail and Dragon Claw
Latios with Fire Fang and Dragon Claw
Kyurem with Fire Fang and Dragon Claw
Togekiss with Charm and Dazzling Gleam
Mewtwo with Confusion and Shadow Ball
Glaceon with Frost Breath and Avalanche
Kramsnore with Feedback and Shadow Ball
Houndoom with Feedback and Foul Play
Absol with Feedback and Shadow Ball
Latias with Fire Fang and Outrage
Ursaring with Dark Claw and Faint Attack
Gardevoir with Charm and Dazzling Gleam
Granbull with Charm and Faint Attack
Defeating Giratina at level 35 and 40 – Here’s how
What you should know here: If you have Pokémon at level 35 or higher, you should generally have no problem with the trio. You have plenty of Pokémon to choose from that are effective and sufficient for the trio.
We will therefore refrain from providing another list of Pokémon, as you can likely find every usable Pokémon of the types Fairy, Dragon, Dark, and Ice listed above. Ghost-type Pokémon are less represented since Giratina itself is effective against ghost monsters. You would lose them quickly.
Are Giratina raids worth it? Definitely! The Origin Forme of Giratina is the best attacker of the Ghost type and should not be missing from any team.
Additionally, you can catch it for the first time as a Shiny within the 2 weeks. For every Shiny hunter, Giratina will therefore be interesting.
Otherwise, you can look forward to the Halloween event with Giratina after the raid time. This could become the best event of 2020:
The Guinness Book contains many world records from the gaming sector. Here are 8 particularly cool records.
Everyone knows the Guinness Books, which document a variety of world records. In 2008, gaming was added to the “classic” categories like nature, science, art, or sports.
With the two editions “Guinness World Records: The Videogame” and “Gamer’s Edition”, the collection of gaming records began.
While The Videogame deals with records set by video games (most sold, longest franchise), the Gamer’s Edition features records set by gamers and the gaming community (for example, high scores).
In this article, we present 8 such community records.
Most Weddings in an MMORPG (24h)
Game:
Players of Rift Online (Trion Worlds)
Date:
14.02.2012
The world record for the most wedding ceremonies within 24 hours was collected by the MMORPG Rift from Trion Worlds. On February 14, 2012, Valentine’s Day, a total of 21,879 in-game weddings took place, leading over 40,000 players to the sacred bond of marriage. Participants received the special title “The Avowed”.
There was even a trailer that called the community to join the world record:

Setting the world record was a tremendous achievement for our development team and the community of passionate players. I couldn’t be prouder of them.
Most Registered Players in an MMORPG
Game:
RuneScape
Date:
25.07.2017
The MMORPG RuneScape is not only one of the oldest online games, but on July 25, 2017, it also officially set the world record for the most registered users. A total of 254,994,744 player accounts were registered at that time in RuneScape.
The developer Jagex celebrated the high number with a giveaway of 250 million gold coins, distributed to players every day for a week. RuneScape actually scored two more records that year: for the most music tracks in a video game (1198) and for the most updates in an MMORPG (1,014 updates).
Interesting note: Guinness World Records mentions that the Asian MMO Dungeon Fighter Online and Fantasy Westward Journey both have more registered accounts than RuneScape. However, there are no official publicly available data for this, which is why these records have not yet been recognized.
Largest Gathering of Video Game Cosplayers

On September 7, 2013, a total of 491 people dressed as “video game characters” gathered in Finland, setting the world record for the most video game cosplayers. This gathering had 21 more participants than the previous record of 470 people.
The world record was organized by the Särkänniemi Theme Park in Tampere, which includes Angry Birds Land. All sorts of characters from popular gaming franchises such as Assassin’s Creed, Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, and many more were present. A video of this was also made:

This world record was set less than a year ago in the Battle Royale game Fortnite by Epic Games. According to Guinness World Records, on April 24, 2020, 12,300,000 viewers were present live when rapper Travis Scott performed his single “The Scotts” in the game.
The concert was spectacularly staged in the game. Players were launched into the air and transported through various worlds while a gigantic animated Travis Scott performed for them.

With her enormous collection of 17,127 items, Englishwoman Lisa Courtney set the world record for the largest collection of video game memorabilia. The record was officially recognized on August 10, 2016.
Lisa dedicated her collection fully to Pokémon merchandise and owns items from various countries. She made several trips to Japan to buy new merchandise there, sending back 8 to 12 boxes full of purchases to England with each visit.
Her collection has likely grown even larger since then.
Before video games became a massive industry on Earth, they already took their first steps in space. The Soviet cosmonaut Alexander Alxandrowitsch Serebrow was the first person to play a video game in space. This happened on July 1, 1993, during his flight to the MIR space station.
Serebrow did what any of us would do when preparing for a long journey. He took his handheld device: a Game Boy and the game Tetris, which he played on the way.
By the way, his Game Boy and the game were auctioned in 2011 and sold for $1,220.

Largest Audience at a Video Game Live Concert
Location:
China, Beijing Exhibition Theatre
Date:
13.08.2015
When Tommy Tallarico founded his concert show Video Games Live in 2002, he probably had no idea he would set a world record with it. This happened on August 13, 2015, in Beijing, China.
As he and his orchestra performed various pieces of music from video games in the massive Beijing Exhibition Theatre, 752,109 people watched them live at the same time.
2,086 of them were present at the theatre
While 750,023 watched via the Chinese streaming service Youku
We played in China, even in the same stadium where the Olympics were held. That was incredible. We set the Guinness world record. There were 752,000 people who all watched a symphony concert live. You can’t even imagine how many people that is.
Most Players in a Game that was Live Streamed
Game:
Pokémon Red
Date:
1.03.2014
“Twitch Plays Pokémon” was a social experiment that started on February 12, 2014, and ended on March 1, 2014, after 16 consecutive days. During this time, a total of 1,165,140 players entered commands for the game through the stream chat and attempted to master the game together.
On average, the channel where the “Pokémon Red” session was streamed had 80,000 concurrent viewers and amassed over 55 million views during the experiment.
Besides the world record, “Twitch Plays Pokémon” also spawned tons of memes and jokes that still linger somewhere in the depths of the internet.

Are you tired of the announcements when your striker narrowly misses the decisive goal again? Then we will show you how to change or turn off the commentators in FIFA 21.
These are the commentators in FIFA 21: The commentators accompany every duel on the field in FIFA 21. They inform you about developments in the table in Career Mode, present facts about opponents, stadiums, and players, and generally comment on every action on the field.
Wolff Fuss and Frank Buschmann always report on time for the start of the game
No matter if it’s a failed cross, a brilliant 5-star skill move, or a powerful goal attempt: The commentators have a suitable (or sometimes less suitable) comment ready for every situation.
Change language in FIFA 21: As entertaining as the commentary can be, sometimes you just get tired of it. Then it can be fun to change the language. The following languages are available by default in FIFA 21;
German
Italian
English
French
Brazilian Portuguese (download)
Dutch (download)
Spanish (download)
Sometimes you just want to turn off the commentators completely. For example, because you don’t need the commentator voices while voting in the party in Co-op mode, or because you are listening to music in the background.
This is how you change the commentary settings: There are two ways to do this. If you decide before the game that you want to turn off the commentators, you can simply go to the game settings in the main menu. Here you navigate to the audio tab:
In the audio tab, you will find all music and effect settings.
Now switch to “11 vs. 11 Audio” using the shoulder buttons. There you can change both the commentary language and its volume.
It is also possible to just push the commentators a bit into the background instead of turning them off completely. If you want to turn them off completely, reduce the volume to “0”.
This is how you mute the commentary
Change commentators in-game: If you are already in a match, you can also change the audio settings. To do this, you need to:
Go to the pause menu
Access the settings
In the audio settings, switch with the shoulder buttons to 11-vs-11 audio as described above.
However, you can only adjust the audio volume in the middle of a match. The language cannot be changed mid-game and is missing in the settings.
Don’t be surprised: You cannot change the language in a match
Also, keep in mind that in online modes like Ultimate Team, you can only spend a few seconds in the pause menu before the game continues. Here you need to be quick – or make the setting before the match.
Leveling in Patch 9.0 of World of Warcraft is going to be great. But one small detail could cause a rather abrupt end.
Anyone who enjoys leveling characters can look forward to the upcoming Wednesday in World of Warcraft. With Chromie Time, players can choose an expansion and level freely without having to jump wildly between the add-ons. However, there is a problem, as the adventure could end quite abruptly and leave a feeling of emptiness.
What is Chromie Time? With Chromie Time (also known as “Timewalking campaign”), characters in Patch 9.0 can choose an expansion from World of Warcraft to level in. For example, if one is interested in Wrath of the Lich King, they can select this add-on with Chromie and then level completely in Northrend from level 10 to 50 – the journey starts on the Isle of the Banished.
This gives the feeling of a continuous story, and players do not have to jump between continents every few levels. A good thing that allows more flexibility in leveling.
Chromie Time is really cool for leveling but has a catch.
What is the problem? Once the character reaches level 50, a message pops up on the screen. “The Timewalking journey ends in …” along with a countdown. After a few seconds expire, the character is teleported back to the capital city (Orgrimmar or Stormwind) and the Timewalking ends definitively. This also means the world scaling is over. Enemies that were just at level 50 and thus on par are now back to level 30.
This is particularly annoying when one was in the middle of an exciting quest and perhaps wanted to experience the story finale of an expansion. Here, one is not only abruptly teleported away in the middle of the quest, but also robbed of the chance to experience the finale in an engaging setting. Because who returns later finds the enemies significantly weaker, as they no longer scale.
This is an abrupt and inappropriate ending to what is otherwise a nice leveling experience.
Is there a solution for this? Yes, although not a very elegant one. The plan still involves automatically teleporting players back upon reaching level 50 and the Timewalking campaign ending. However, players are supposed to have the option, as they do now, to turn off XP gain during this campaign. This is a conscious decision that one must make for themselves.
To do this, as before, an NPC in Stormwind or Orgrimmar must be consulted. This can take quite a bit of time when one realizes at level 49 that they would like to continue playing the current area.
A more elegant, long-term solution – such as a prompt right at level 50 without teleporting – would certainly be nicer for players. But maybe that will be addressed in a later patch.
What do you think of this solution? Should there be a better way?
MeinMMO author Eilyn Rapp has a habit from the noob days in Fortnite that she hasn’t been able to shake for almost 3 years. To hide it well, she has to lie to her husband and the other team members. But why all of this?
What is this habit? I still remember well when I started with Fortnite almost three years ago. Back then, the weapon and item selection was still quite limited; you just had what you needed.
When close combat became increasingly important in Fortnite, I swapped the sniper for a submachine gun. If you were a noob like I was, you needed an additional melee weapon because you could never hit anything with the pump shotgun.
Not to mention that I only use the submachine gun to shoot down walls faster. However, Fortnite has received more and more cool weapons and items that everyone would probably like to try, and what do I do? I just stick to my five items that I’ve known for almost three years!
Fortnite constantly offers new cool weapons
“Do you really need to carry that?”
This affects team matches: Well, maybe it’s just my comfort zone, and as long as I have these items with me, I feel safe. In combat itself, it doesn’t help me at all, as I’m still the noob from back then, and I should actually be ashamed of my kill record.
It only becomes a problem when I’m out with friends. It’s often the case that we want to share the loot well among ourselves to be prepared for the final fight. One takes care of the shield potions, another brings healing items, and a good mix of weapons should also be available.
So when it comes down to the distribution, I often hear: “Can you carry that too?” I, who don’t want to part with the usual inventory, always reply: “No room in the inventory.” Of course, that’s a lie, as I could very well drop something.
With this lie, I could actually enforce my habit pretty well. After all, the others can’t see what exactly I’m carrying.
My friends don’t know which items I’m actually running around with
Yet I can’t fool one person, even if I keep trying – my husband, who sits right behind me and plays. He just has to turn around for a second and sees: She’s got the same stuff as always again! Naturally, the question quickly arises: “Do you really need to carry all of that?”
Even though I’ve been caught a few times, I keep trying. This habit probably won’t change. After all, it has been with me for years. Not even the cool superpowers of the Marvel superheroes can make me give up my beloved inventory or take a special ability with me.

The RPG Genshin Impact is the most successful international release from China and has taken the West by storm. However, a new Chinese game might come on the scene that could take this title away. We are talking about Black Myth: Wukong.
The community viewed the RPG Genshin Impact very critically before its release. This was mainly because it was a Chinese release. The Chinese market is characterized by mobile games and free-to-play models, which are often associated with pay-to-win.
However, Genshin Impact was underestimated. It now has over 5 million registered users outside of China, making it the most successful international release from the country and has taken the West by storm. It is not just a Zelda clone. Even though it truly has many elements of Breath of the Wild, it still has its own identity and charm.
Genshin Impact has secured its place alongside Western AAA titles from China. It creates a bridge between the Chinese and Western gaming markets that has never existed before.
Genshin Impact features a colorful anime style.
Genshin Impact casts a new, positive light on free-to-play and mobile games and is played all over the world. Now a new game has come along that fits this mold. The indie game Black Myth: Wukong is already being referred to as China’s hope, even though it hasn’t been released yet.
Will it be the next Chinese game to conquer the West after Genshin Impact? We will tell you what we already know about Black Myth: Wukong.
The AAA game from the indie studio
What kind of game is this? The developers of Black Myth: Wukong held an interview with IGN (via ign.com) and revealed some details about the game.
Black Myth: Wukong will be an action RPG in Unreal Engine 4, resembling Dark Souls or Dynasty Warriors. It is being developed by a Chinese indie studio called Game Science. The studio initially developed two mobile games.
With the earned money, they now want to do what they originally intended. Black Myth: Wukong is intended to be a premium console game. A very risky move, considering the Chinese market is ruled by free-to-play models, as seen with Genshin Impact.
The game is set to be released on “all mainstream consoles” and PC. Which exact ones they are, has not yet been confirmed. However, the game has such a high-quality look that it would definitely fit with next-gen consoles.
When will it be released? The developers have revealed that the game has been in development for 2 years and they plan to release it within 3 years. Some members of the 30-person team originally came from the Chinese entertainment giant Tencent.
To release the game as quickly as possible, the studio needs more employees. This is also because they decided against outsourcing individual areas to other companies.
For this purpose, they released a 13-minute trailer with gameplay. It went so viral that they can hardly keep up with applications. There are even interested parties from outside of China who would pay for their own work visa.

The successful trailer with 13 minutes of gameplay
What details do we know? The game takes inspiration from one of the most famous Chinese novels, Journey to the West. The story of the Monkey King is better known worldwide through the Japanese manga Dragon Ball and its main character Son Goku; the developers want to change that.
However, Black Myth: Wukong is meant to be darker and more complex than the original story of the Monkey King. In the video, three monkeys are seen, and players must find out for themselves during the game who Wukong is.
The environment seen in the trailer is called Black Wind Mountain and is said to offer players 30-60 minutes of gameplay on normal difficulty. Overall, Black Myth: Wukong is expected to have more than 15 hours of gameplay. For this, the team is working on over 100 different opponents, including bosses, to keep it varied.
And the demo in the trailer is indeed playable and not CGI, as the author of the IGN article confirms. He was able to fly around as a golden cicada to avoid fights but chose to engage instead.
Additionally, he fought the boss in another form. It seems you can switch forms in Wukong. The demo also features four other bosses located in a test area called “Toilet”.
What about multiplayer? Unfortunately, nothing is known about a possible multiplayer mode. We’ll have to wait and see whether Black Myth: Wukong can be played in coop mode.
This monkey tells the story of Wukong.
Is there more to come? Just for the trailer, Black Wind Mountain went through several revisions before it was ultimately released. The studio says it might take a while before we see anything new about Black Myth: Wukong.
They want to completely focus on development and will only show something again when it exceeds the quality of the first video.
However, the developers have even bigger plans. Black Myth: Wukong is not intended to be the only Black Myth game. They want to create an entire universe comparable to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Currently, two more installments are planned that are also based on Chinese stories.
The attention that Wukong is already receiving has never been seen for a Chinese game. Depending on how Black Myth: Wukong develops, it could outshine Genshin Impact as the most successful Chinese release.
Attention, trainers. You will likely get another chance to catch Crypto-Mewtwo in Pokémon GO. Dataminers are revealing what is coming our way.
What is it about? The Pokeminers dataminers keep a close eye on code changes in Pokémon GO and have kept the community updated in the past. This way, the community already knew about exciting new content like the research for GO Fest, which later was actually activated in the game.
In one of the latest findings by the dataminers, there are new types of eggs and Crypto-Mewtwo, which is again connected with Team GO Rocket.
Keep in mind that this article contains content that many consider spoilers. If you don’t want to know how Crypto could come back into the game, you should not continue reading here. As an alternative, we show you the best attackers of each type in Pokémon GO that you should know about.
Release of Crypto-Mewtwo again?
What the dataminers show: In the latest finding report (via reddit), it is about Team GO Rocket, Crypto-Mewtwo, and a new special research.
The dataminers write that a change has occurred with the “Crypto eggs“, which are now called “strange eggs”.
So far, it looks like
Strange eggs are dropped as loot by Rocket leaders (such as Arlo, Sierra and Cliff)
To be able to pick them up, you need free space in your egg inventory
The new special research is currently divided into 6 chapters. Willow speaks to you trainers and says according to the leak:
“You may have already encountered Crypto-Mewtwo when Giovanni last appeared. We thought that would be the last time we saw him, but it seems like he is back again!”
“You have to save Crypto-Mewtwo, trainers! I have a feeling Giovanni plans to exploit this poor Pokémon for nefarious purposes.”
“You did it again, trainers. You defeated the Rocket Grunts, the leaders, and Giovanni. Not to mention all the Crypto-Pokémon, including Crypto-Mewtwo, that you freed along the way.”
So here you have another chance to catch Crypto-Mewtwo. But keep in mind that you should not immediately redeem your Crypto-Pokémon. This is also important for Mewtwo – if possible, you should not redeem it at all. Because the Crypto bonus is incredibly strong.
How strong is it? In a July analysis, PokémonGOHub.net declared Crypto Mewtwo the best attacker in PvE, that is, in raids. It deals the highest neutral damage per second and has a variety of attacks that it can learn. Because these attacks correspond to different types, it is usable in many areas.
While it may not be as strong in PvP as in PvE, it is an attacker that every trainer should have in their collection.
Are you excited to get another chance at Crypto-Mewtwo, or should the Pokémon have remained exclusive to its first research? Let us know in the comments.
The delay of Shadowlands had to be processed by some WoW players first. But with some reflection, most of you find: That’s okay.
For some fans of World of Warcraft, it ruined their vacation plans. The upcoming expansion Shadowlands will no longer be released in October, but rather later this year.
In a survey, we wanted to know how this delay is perceived by you, the readers of Mein-MMO. Do you understand it or are you angry? Now we have the results, and they are comparatively clear.
59% of the votes (713 votes) believe that the delay is a good thing
22% of you (270 votes) see both the pros and the cons of the delay
19% (218 votes) feel that the delay is a mistake and think it could have been handled better
What the positive voices say
Many take it rather calmly and believe that Blizzard should take their time so that Shadowlands can meet expectations. Like MeinMMO reader Cameltoetem:
If it helps to make the addon better, I find it good. If it were up to me, it could come out in spring.
Sina thinks that Blizzard is on a good path back to old virtues:
In the past, Blizz generally stated: ‘It’s done when it’s done …’ – I think that’s very good. (…)
I think that with Blizz and also with others – if they would actually do it – that’s generally a good attitude. Releasing half-baked stuff has often backfired and the reputation goes down the drain.
What the mixed voices say
Some – namely 22% of the votes – see both pros and cons. Especially in light of the fact that we are currently experiencing the cursed year 2020, there is a relative calm.
Threepwood writes:
I find it a shame and hope that they can manage it this year. Especially during the darker season and end of the year, WoW is part of it for me. If necessary, I’m also fine with the pre-patch, hunting skins and PvP.
And if they don’t finish it, it just seamlessly fits into the miserable year of 2020. It doesn’t really matter anymore.
From Sven, we hear:
I’m definitely skeptical. Yes, I somehow feel relieved that they’re pulling the emergency brake, so there are probably still some real issues to address. However, the expectations will hardly diminish when they delay the release. But if it only turns out to be “half-awesome”, the community will go crazy.
In the end, we can’t change anything anyway; we can only accept and hope for the best.
It will take a few more weeks before we can go to Bastion.
What the negative voices say
However, 19% of the votes who are rather opposed to the delay have also given some feedback.
Marcel says:
The delay is crap. Once again, the loud minority of crying wannabes have been listened to. My condolences to everyone who has already taken vacation and looked forward to the release (including myself).
Sick0w sees things even more drastically:
It’s nothing new that Blizzard is too incompetent to finish their work on time. Of course, they can now use Corona as an excuse, but to be honest, BFA was anything but finished at release. It wasn’t without reason that it was called Beta for Azeroth. Therefore, just sad.
When exactly Shadowlands will really be released is still uncertain. The problem is probably that every possible date brings its own difficulties.
The ratings in FIFA 21 were quite surprising in some places. Especially the Bayern values caused criticism. How did this happen?
What are ratings? The ratings are the player values in FIFA 21. The overall value is composed of various attributes, such as shooting power, speed, passing values, and many other factors. For example, Lionel Messi has an overall value of 93, which is the highest player value of all standard players (excluding icons).
And especially the Bayern ratings seemed simply too low for many players. After all, the Munich team had just won the treble of the championship, DFB-Pokal, and Champions League – yet some players even received downgrades compared to FIFA 20.
Many wondered: How do these ratings come about?
Rating chief explains how the evaluation works
This is how the ratings are determined: The ratings in the FIFA series result from the work of a lot of people. The assessments are then compiled in the “Data-Collection and Licensing” department, which has been led by Michael Müller-Möhring since 2008. He explained in an interview with Bild.de: “We obtain the reference material for EVERYTHING that is visible in the game.” This applies from the ball to the stadiums to the players.
The ratings are collected in an online database, which is managed by around 400 editors worldwide: “They don’t do this full-time, but as a hobby. The Swedes take care of the Swedish clubs, the Koreans take care of the Korean ones, and so on,” Müller-Möhring said. Everything is recorded: From name and nationality to position and preferred celebrations to clothing style on the pitch.
Mbappe’s special “Cry-Baby celebration” made its way into the game
In addition, there are also the attributes from which the ratings are ultimately composed.
In detail, the main attributes are examined and assessed by the editors before weighing the players against each other: “One tries to create a ranking,” Müller-Möhring said. “Then the whole thing is tried to be balanced out so that it doesn’t look wrong.”
Besides the editors, there are several thousand database reviewers worldwide who can provide detailed suggestions for improvement.
The ratings are constantly being adjusted – one can see this, for example, when activating live squads in the kick-off mode. In Ultimate Team, however, this does not apply directly. There are special cards like the TOTW, which can have different values. But the standard cards usually remain unchanged until the winter upgrade.
What happened to Bayern in FIFA 21?
Overall, the process seems very detailed. So how did the strange Bayern ratings come about? One reason was Corona, Müller-Möhring explained in the interview: “We were under a lot of time pressure due to unforeseen circumstances and had to go out very early. Unfortunately, some of the matches from the last season could not be included in the assessment. If we had included performances from those, some values would definitely have been higher.”
Bayern won the Champions League – but perhaps too late
Additionally, matches from the league final and the Champions League should count. These matches were temporarily suspended due to the pandemic and were only played significantly later. The insane 8:2 victory of Bayern against Barcelona took place only on August 14, and the Champions League final against Paris was held on August 23.
Müller-Möhring explains that they want to make the ratings as objective as possible but also knows that some players will complain: “It is important: We do not want to hurt anyone. However, if players come and want to have specific things changed, we do not react to it – unless it is really grossly wrong.”
So it looks like the ratings are here to stay for now. If you’re looking for players with good values in Ultimate Team whose price isn’t too high, we have here a good Bundesliga team for starting in FIFA 21 for you.

What is Batman: Arkham Knight? It is the fourth part of the Batman: Arkham series. As in the previous games, the player controls Batman from a third-person perspective. The world is open for exploration and offers side quests and puzzles in addition to the main missions. The story takes place after the events of Batman: Arkham City. Familiar players will quickly feel at home.
Why is the game worth it? Even today, the strong story of the fourth Batman game is worth experiencing. The staging is very well done by the developers of Rocksteady Studios, as is the engaging combat system.
The game world is very lively, as there is a lot to discover beyond the main missions: The developers have hidden Riddler trophies and other secrets waiting for the players. Also cool are the weapons and gadgets that Batman always carries and can be used in fights and missions.
What is less successful: Overall, the game offers few new ideas, as many highlights from Arkham Asylum are retold. The numerous abilities Batman has seem overwhelming, and the control of the Batmobile is not really fun and does not fit into the overall concept of the game.
Pros
detailed and extensive Gotham City
varied and exciting narrative
many side quests with their own stories
Riddler trophies are hidden all over the world
demanding battles
Cons
few new ideas, much from Arkham Asylum
Batman’s many abilities seem overwhelming
Batmobile feels unnecessary and has terrible control
What is Sniper Elite 3? Sniper Elite 3 is a game from the shooter series developed by Rebellion. As spy Karl Fairburne, you go against Axis troops in North Africa. They want to build a superweapon, which Fairburne aims to prevent. The linear levels of the predecessor give way to large areas that offer multiple approaches.
Why is the game worth it? The shooter relies on atmospheric desert panoramas and large areas where the player can roam. The open areas provide many options to approach a mission and to eliminate enemies strategically. Additionally, the game has a successful shooting mechanic and it is possible to play the campaign in co-op.
In Sniper Elite 3, you are in the North African desert.
What is less successful: The AI in the game fluctuates greatly. Sometimes it seems to know where we are, other times it is completely clueless. The variety between missions could also be greater and better. Melee combat is also overpowered.
For whom is the game suitable? If you are looking for a shooter where careful approaches are rewarded and which also offers a nice co-op, you should take a look at Sniper Elite 3.
Pros
atmospheric desert panoramas
co-op campaign possible
successful shooting mechanic
large spaces and open areas
many options to defeat the enemy
Cons
strongly fluctuating AI quality
too strong melee combat
variety in mission design
Where can you buy the game? The game is currently on sale in the PS Store:
What is Assassin’s Creed Origins? It is the predecessor to Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, which takes place in ancient Egypt. Here you are present during the founding of the Assassin’s Brotherhood.
Why is the game worth it? The main story is exciting and can entertain over a long period. For fans of the series, the story around the Brotherhood and the conflict with the Templars continues to unfold.
Also, Origins offers, as the first “Assassin’s Creed” game, an RPG aspect with a level system – which is well thought out and makes sense from a gameplay perspective. The combat system is very successful, as each weapon feels different. Additionally, the world itself is colorful and vibrant. The characters can also convince.
What is less good? Some weaknesses of the old games can also be found in Origins. Some side quests turn out to be trivial and uninteresting from a gameplay perspective. Also, the present-day story is weak in parts and doesn’t always keep players engaged. Sometimes it interrupts the flow of the ancient Egyptian story.
For whom is the game suitable? If you are a fan of Assassin’s Creed, you can safely pick this up. Moreover, the setting of Ancient Egypt in games is still quite rare. If that appeals to you, you are likely to have fun.
Pros
unusual setting
great combat system
vibrant, colorful world
interesting story around the Assassins
Cons
partially trivial, annoying side quests
present-day story feels forced and disrupts immersion
Where can you buy the game? The base game is currently on sale in the PS Store:
What is Nioh? In Nioh, you play as the protagonist William Adams, who travels to 16th century Japan in search of an evil alchemist. There, two samurai are fighting for supremacy. Due to this, demons have also been able to invade the world of humans. Nioh is a game that follows the Soulslike tradition: The difficulty level is tough and demanding.
Why is the game worth it: Nioh offers a versatile RPG and a complex combat system. Each of the weapons feels noticeably different and can make the battles significantly easier. The game’s atmosphere is wonderful, as are the good cutscenes. The game also boasts a long playtime and features a co-op mode.
In Nioh, weapon choice plays an important role.
What is less successful: A European pirate fighting demons in feudal Japan while heavily involved with mythological powers? Yes, Nioh is chaotic and throws information at you rapidly, making it confusing and hard to decipher. Graphically, the game does not make the best impression but offers a stable 60 fps rate on the PS4 Pro. Also unfortunate is that the game does not provide a German voice-over.
For whom is the game suitable? If you enjoy games like Dark Souls and also appreciate dark RPGs, you should take a look at Nioh. The combination of mythological and historical material is also worth a glance, even if the plethora of information about guardian spirits and demons can be particularly confusing at the beginning.
Pros
up to 60 FPS and stable framerate on the PS4 Pro
complex combat system
versatile RPG
atmospheric setting
extensive gameplay
co-op mode
Cons
graphically aged
weak start
no German voice-over
opaque and absurd story

Genre: City-building strategy | Developer: 11 bit Studios | Release Date: October 11, 2019 | Model:Buy-to-play | Price Range (according to Geizhals.de): 19.95 – 45.60 €
What is Frostpunk? In Frostpunk, you assume the role of the leader of a settlement in a post-apocalyptic future, as the Earth is frozen. You must build a functioning settlement in the cold while dealing with ethical questions. For example, do you allow child labor, or do you accept having fewer resources available for the winter? This is the charm of Frostpunk.
Why is the game worth it: Frostpunk was originally released for PC but has been perfectly adapted for consoles. The controller controls are intuitively laid out. The menus and building construction are adjusted for the console and can be precisely controlled via analog sticks or buttons.
The game is challenging as you must keep an eye on various resources such as wood, coal, or food, while regularly facing political decisions about how you want to shape your city. It’s worth playing Frostpunk again. If the difficulty level is too hard for you, you can also customize it. The Console Edition includes all DLCs and updates, providing an endless mode and three scenarios with their specific objectives.
What is less successful: Those who play Frostpunk expecting a complex game like Anno will be disappointed. The supply chain is not very complex and offers little to tinker with. The structures are quickly uncovered and provide little variety. It’s also unfortunate that some minor decisions barely differ. If you play the game again, you’ll likely click through quickly without much thought.
For whom is the game suitable? Do you enjoy city-building strategy games and love making difficult decisions? Perhaps you have even played “This War of Mine,” another title by the developer that also focuses on difficult decisions. If you liked “This War of Mine,” you should check out Frostpunk.
Pros
demanding strategy
many political decisions that change gameplay flow
all DLCs included (endless mode + 3 scenarios)
good porting to the PS4
adjustable difficulty level
Cons
not very complex supply chains
normal decisions are too simple
Where can you buy the game? The game is currently on sale in the PS Store:
Genre: Platformer | Developer: Playdead | Release Date: December 5, 2014 | Model:Buy-to-play | Price Range (according to Geizhals.de): 29.34 – 58.50 € (only available in a bundle with Inside)
What is Limbo? Limbo is a platformer by developer Playdead. The game relies heavily on an unusual style, as the entire game is presented in black and white. This gives the game a dark and threatening atmosphere. In the game, you play as a boy who navigates through surreal landscapes. A wrong step can mean the death of the protagonist.
Why is the game worth it: Limbo impresses with its unique style: The art design is beautifully done and captures the atmosphere of the game excellently. There is no music, but the developers use a minimalist soundscape that often sends shivers down your spine. The puzzles are tricky and demanding.
What is less successful: Some areas are quite tricky and quickly become trial-and-error passages. The game is also quite short. After about 2 to 3 hours, you should have completed the game.
For whom is the game suitable? If you’re looking for a unique platformer that, unlike Rayman and Co, opts for a black-and-white aesthetic rather than colorful visuals, you should take a look at this indie gem.
Pros
unique art design
dense atmosphere
minimalistic but perfect soundscape
tricky, demanding puzzles
Cons
trial-and-error passages
very short (2 – 3 hours)
Where can you buy the game? The game is currently on sale in the PS Store:
A community survey graphic shows which classes in Diablo 4 fans are looking forward to the most. The Necromancer is very popular. Which ones do you wish for?
What kind of survey is this? A reddit user summarized the results of some surveys on reddit regarding Diablo 4. In his graphic, he evaluated which classes are the most popular.
Aside from these three classes, fans wish for three more that should definitely come into the game.
Fans want Necromancer, Paladin, and Amazon
The survey shows: The graphic shows a total of 27,526 votes on the classes of Diablo 4.
Necromancer with 4975 votes
Paladin with 4374 votes
Amazon with 4371 votes
Afterward, there is a significant drop in votes for 4th place.
2537 people chose Assassin
2172 people voted for the Demon Hunter
We are embedding here the graphic from reddit user Pisulanu, which he shared in the Diablo subreddit.
The popularity of classes for Diablo 4 according to reddit surveys – Source: reddit
What are these classes?
This is known: So far it is clear that Sorceress, Druid, and Barbarian are the classes that Blizzard wants to provide directly at the launch of Diablo 4. But these are not all. Blizzard already revealed that they plan to launch with 5 classes.
There is a lot of speculation about the two unknowns.
Necromancer in Diablo 4?
What speaks for it? The Necromancer could fill the role of the pet class in Diablo 4. What must be considered in the survey is that players might have different expectations of the Necromancer.
While some envision a powerful summoner who can summon many pets, others want a Necro who can summon fewer but more powerful pets.
Paladin: For the Paladin, one expects a gameplay style with one-handed weapon and shield. The class could cover the area for holy damage in Diablo 4, which has not yet been covered by the three classes.
Amazon: The Amazon is known from Diablo 2 with bow and throwing spears. The class could fulfill the role for physical damage from a distance in Diablo 4. She is a versatile attacker and could throw spears, deal elemental damage and also be active in melee combat in the past.
Let us know your opinion: Which class do you wish for Diablo 4? Is there one that must be present for you to play the game? Let us know here in the comments on MeinMMO why you wish for it and what would make it so good.
Destiny 2 brings many new Exotics – weapons and armor pieces – with the autumn expansion Beyond Light. 10 fresh Exotics are already known. But which one is your favorite so far?
What do the new Exotics entail? In Destiny 2, the new major autumn expansion Beyond Light launches on November 10. This brings among other things
Keep in mind: Bungie has only introduced these 10 new Exotics for Beyond Light so far. However, it is conceivable and quite likely that more Exotics will be added starting November 10 – possibly as yet secret raid rewards or through the Season Pass.
This includes the iconic weapon Exotic Hawkmoon. The return of this Hand Cannon from Destiny 1 has already been officially confirmed by Bungie for Beyond Light. However, the Hawkmoon does not appear in the latest trailer. Therefore, it is assumed that it will not be part of the Beyond Light expansion but will come through the Season Pass for Season 12.
The Exotics in the trailer: If you missed it so far: Here you can watch all 10 presented Exotics again with gameplay:

Griff der Erlösung – Grenade Launcher: Fires projectiles that create Stasis Crystals and freeze nearby enemies. Charging the weapon increases the number of crystals created and the freeze radius.
Keine Zeit für Erklärungen – Pulse Rifle: Precision hits and hits on enemies under Stasis influence return to the magazine. Stack this effect to summon a portal from which the weapon shoots from another timeline.
Wolkenschlag – Sniper: Precision death blows create lightning at the position of the hit target. Quick precision hits even generate a whole storm at the strike point.
Die Klage – Sword: Offers a deadly blade and a sturdy shield. Blocking with it intensifies the blade and allows you to cut through shielded enemies. At maximum values, the wielder is healed when dealing damage to enemies.
Beyond Light expands the Guardians’ arsenal
The 6 new armor pieces: Each Guardian class receives 2 exotic armor pieces with the new expansion:
Icelands Overcoat – Titan Gauntlets: The Titan Barricade is replaced by an Overshield and absorbs incoming damage.
Precious Scars – Titan Helm: Upon resurrecting, the wearer receives an Overshield Aura that protects them and nearby allies.
Mask of Bakris – Hunter Helm: Replaces the Hunter’s dodge role with a longer lunge that cloaks the wearer for a short time. Essentially almost like Blink from Destiny 1.
Athrys’ Embrace – Hunter Gauntlets: The balanced knife bounces off a second time. Additionally, quick precision hits grant bonus damage and can stagger enemies for a short time.
Dusk Concert – Warlock Helm: The Dawn projectiles deal additional damage and cause enemies to burn upon contact. When a target takes damage from burning, the wearer receives melee energy each time.
Necrotic Grip – Warlock Gauntlets: The wearer’s melee attacks corrupt enemies with increasing damage over time. When a corrupted enemy is defeated, the corruption spreads to nearby targets and restores melee energy to the wearer.
On the Ice Moon, new Exotics are in full swing
What is your favorite so far?
Participate in our survey: The new Exotics are currently very well received by the community and are actively being discussed. Which class has received the best Exotics? How will the new weapons play? And is there more to come?

Do you want to dive into the Italian league Serie A in FIFA 21 this season? Then you will find a good starter team for few coins here in Ultimate Team (FUT).
What kind of team is this? Serie A may not have as many top players as the Premier League, but you will find a few really good footballers here with whom you can build great teams. The crown of Serie A is Cristiano Ronaldo – the legendary player is under contract with Juventus.
Note: You won’t find any absolute super players here to crush the Weekend League. However, the following team is one that can provide a good starting point for your FUT season while remaining budget-friendly. Here you can find more starter teams:
What players are in the team? A budget team can provide you with a 5-star skiller in attack and a strong free-kick taker. For all these players, stronger upgrade players are available that you can acquire for 3,000 – 6,000 coins to improve the team. Only the Croatian Rebic stands out a bit, but he is a fantastic card for the start.
As of now (October 10), the team costs less than 20,000 coins and provides a good foundation to achieve your first victories in the FUT modes. However, prices may fluctuate, and many weaker cards tend to get cheaper over time. You shouldn’t spend much more than is stated here for the players.
Pau López Sabata:Goalkeeper for 1,800 coins – The keeper could use a bit more pace when coming out, but otherwise brings stable values to your goal.
Aleksandar Kolarov: Left back for 2,000 coins – With Kolarov, you not only get a strong defender on your left side but also your set-piece taker. The somewhat grey-haired Inter player may not be the fastest anymore, but he can be very helpful on free kicks.
Nicolas Nkoulou: Centre-back for 1,800 coins – The Cameroonian doesn’t perform wonders in defense but does solid work for the price you pay.
Chris Smalling: Centre-back for 1,700 coins – The former United player is contracted with Roma and provides good defense values in FIFA 21 for his price.
Kévin Malcuit: Right back for 1,100 coins – The small right-back is available cheaply and offers stable values in almost all attributes. Only his shooting leaves something to be desired.
Adrien Rabiot: Center midfielder for 1,100 coins – The Frenchman from PSG’s youth currently earns his bread at Juve and can be a support in midfield at the start. He is neither really weak nor really good. However, he is a prime example of a budget starter player in FUT.
Piotr Zieliński: Center midfielder for 1,300 coins – The Pole is more offensively oriented than Rabiot and scores with over 80 values in dribbling and passing. However, he is physically a bit weaker.
Federico Bernardeschi: Attacking midfielder for 800 coins – With the Juve player, you bring some flair to the team. The budget offensive player is one of the 5-star dribblers and is fun in the midfield. Another great and really affordable player for the start.
Robin Gosens: Left winger for 1,800 coins – The German national player brings decent pace and physical strength.
Manuel Lazzari: Right winger for 1,000 coins – With the Italian, you get high speed paired with decent dribbling skills for only 1,000 coins on the right. However, his other values leave something to be desired.
Ante Rebic: Forward for 2,900 coins – The former Frankfurt player is the most expensive player on the team but is a must-have for starter teams in Serie A. He can push through well, has a fine shot, can dribble, and offers 84 acceleration and 91 pace.
Gian Piero Gasperini: Manager for 1,000 coins – You can acquire the coach of Atalanta Bergamo cheaply and complete your team.
Upgrade tips: Quickly look for new centre-backs, as you are rather weak in this area with the team, but the better alternatives start at 3,000 – 6,000 coins.
Cheap legends: Serie A still offers you a few aging superstars that you should definitely take a look at:
Zlatan Ibrahimovic for 1,400 coins – The veteran is already 39, but continues to play hard at Milan and provides you with a shot value of 88. But only 52 in speed.
Franck Ribéry for 800 coins – The Frenchman is also already 37 but can impress with his values, especially for 800 coins. With his 5-star dribbling skills, he is still a good choice.
Be stingy with your coins at the beginning and stack up more cash each week. Hoard cards and keep an eye out for suitable SBCs that offer you strong special cards that might otherwise be unreachable. Always look for cheap opportunities on the transfer market to strengthen your team.
Then you won’t have to spend money on extra packs and gradually get a really strong team. If you’re looking for more tips to get started, check this out: 9 tips I wish I had known earlier in FIFA 21

Gold farmers take note. Soon, collecting gold in World of Warcraft will become harder – Blizzard is nerfing many sources of income.
Gold is quite important in World of Warcraft. It can be used to repair equipment, buy important potions for raids, or further expand the collection of special mounts. If desired, one can even buy really good gear with gold, for example from the auction house. Having a good way to earn gold is therefore important.
But in a few days, farming gold will be heavily nerfed. This is due to the pre-patch and the reduction of the max level.
What’s happening? With the Pre-Patch 9.0, the maximum player level will be lowered from 120 to 50. Along with this comes a reduction in item level. Those currently wearing items around item level 480 will find themselves with approximately item level 200 afterwards. This is only logical, as the reduction of levels also lowers attributes to bring life points, damage, and healing numbers back to reasonable levels.
What are the implications? The reduction in item level also means that items will be worth less at vendors. This has a particularly big impact if you enjoy farming old raids and selling the resulting gear to NPC vendors. The colleagues from wowhead have calculated some examples and shown how significant the loss is that players will endure.

Heart of Fear (Pandaria)

Blackrock Foundry (Warlords)

52.91%
Plainly stated, this means that the net profit from selling gear from old raids will be reduced by between 35 % and 53 %. For players who have viewed this as their primary source of income, this could be a significant blow.
What is not affected? The gold you receive for completing quests or the gold acquired directly from defeating bosses is not affected by this change. These gold amounts will remain unchanged, but they are likely just a fraction of what one could otherwise obtain from old raids.
Loot from bosses will be worse – less gold from farming.
Those who are passionate about farming old raids for gold will soon need to look for new methods – or dramatically rethink their strategies.
The “Caves & Cliffs” update brings the blind Warden as an enemy to Minecraft. The new enemies are dangerous despite their blindness, but they can be tricked. We show you everything you need to know about the Warden.
What kind of enemies are they? During Minecon 2020, the Warden was introduced in the stream. They are new, dark enemies that await you in the dark caves. They look frightening and hit hard. The good thing is that the enemies are blind. They are even the first blind enemies in Minecraft. But that makes them only a little less dangerous for you.
When is the release of the Warden? In summer 2021, the big “Caves & Cliffs” update (version 1.17) for Minecraft will be released. It is “the most anticipated update of all time” and changes a lot underground and even brings the new copper ore. With the release, the Wardens will also appear. To be well prepared for the fight against the new enemies, we show you here everything we already know about the Warden.
Wardens in Minecraft can hear you
What is special about the Warden? Although the monsters cannot see, they react to sounds or vibrations. They do this with their Skulk sensor blocks on their heads.
As long as the Wardens are not alarmed, they move quite slowly. But in combat, they are significantly faster.
If you behave loudly near them and make sounds, they will find you and attack. And you should be well prepared for that, as Wardens are strong.

You can trick them: With items like snowballs, you have a good chance of distracting the Wardens. If you find yourself in a dark cave with them, you can use tricks. Just throw the snowballs in a different direction than the one you want to go. The Wardens will chase after the vibrations. This gives you a chance to escape.
However, if you are already in combat with them, they cannot be distracted by other sounds.
Where do Wardens spawn in Minecraft?
In this biome you will encounter them: The Wardens spawn in the “Deep Dark” biome. That is deep inside dark caves. This is where the new Skulk blocks also spawn. So you will find them on the level just before the Bedrock blocks.
The environment where the Wardens spawn is dark. This makes it easier for the enemies to sneak up on you.
You can recognize them immediately when they are nearby. They are large and look creepy. If they track a sound, your heart begins to race. This is audible and visible.
How much damage do Wardens do and how much can they take?
This was shown: In a clip from Minecraft, there is a confrontation with a Warden.
You can see gameplay of the Warden in the YouTube video at about 40 minutes and 24 seconds:

It can only be speculated how many hit points the Warden has. The player in the clip fails to defeat the enemy with 7 arrows and some sword hits. They can take quite a bit – currently about 100 hit points or 50 hearts, similar to the Iron Golem.
The damage that Wardens deal seems to be very high. The character in the embedded clip wears full Netherite armor. A hit from the Warden still takes away 6.5 hearts. In two hits, you would be defeated.
The beautiful anime MMORPG Blue Protocol is seen by many MMO fans as a major hopeful in the genre. However, until now, only the release in Japan has been confirmed. But a job listing from the developer reveals when the game is set to launch and that they also plan to release it outside of Japan.
What is Blue Protocol? Blue Protocol will be a theme park MMORPG focusing on PvE and an exciting, fully voiced story. It also bears a strong resemblance to the anime hit Genshin Impact in style and is likely to appeal to its fans. The game is being developed for PC and not for mobile, and it is from the Japanese developer Bandai Namco.

The world of Blue Protocol and the graphic style strongly resemble Genshin Impact.
When will the game be released? Initial test phases in Japan have already concluded, and the release is set to happen soon. According to a job listing for the game, the launch is expected to start in the “next fiscal year.” In the case of Japan, that would be as early as April 1, 2021.
Is it coming to us as well? The release in the West is now likely secure. This is because the job listing mentions a so-called “localization manager.” This employee is responsible for bringing and translating the game into other countries. Furthermore, it states that the game will initially be released in Japan and then gradually worldwide.
If Blue Protocol is released in Japan in mid-2021, a Western release in fall or winter 2021 could be a realistic option. However, we will know more only when Bandai Namco releases official information.
A playable anime – The features of Blue Protocol
What is special about Blue Protocol? Fans of Genshin Impact should immediately notice the similar graphic style of Blue Protocol. Both games feature a dreamy anime look in cel-shading style. Additionally, there are lovingly designed characters who will all play a role in the story.
A scene from a battle in the beta of Blue Protocol.
Other features of Blue Protocol include:
Focus on story. The game is designed to feel like an interactive anime.
Time travel: Your hero travels 1,000 years into the past to change the future.
PvE and exploration are at the forefront; PvP will be added later and is limited to certain instances.
Quests and teamwork are important; the game is not a sandbox.
As it will still take at least six months until Blue Protocol appears, we have a list for you of promising anime MMORPGs in 2020. There you will surely find a game that suits your taste and promises the full anime experience.

Destiny 2 finally makes its mod system Guardian-friendly. With Beyond Light, there are 4 major changes that the community has been loudly requesting for a year.
These 4 changes are coming: With the launch of the major expansion Beyond Light, Destiny 2 is significantly overhauling the mod system.
The mod system will receive these revisions starting November 10:
The elemental affinity is removed for all armor mods related to weapons.
All mods that can have an improved version will receive a buff: The normal mods will automatically be upgraded to the enhanced variant and will slightly increase energy consumption – This will render the previous enhanced mods redundant as they will become unnecessary.
Raid armors will receive a 5th mod slot, which will only accommodate raid-specific mods. Additionally, some raid mods will be completely removed.
A new “Combat Style Mod Version” will be available for new armors and all old exotics – Old armors will receive a uniform “Legacy Mod Version”. This version will include mods for mechanics like “Charged with Light” or “Wellspring Cells“, thus replacing the seasonal mod slot.
This marks the first time Bungie addresses profound changes in the DLC that do not concern the new Stasis element. MeinMMO explains why players have long desired these changes or what Bungie was thinking with the upcoming adjustments.
Players demand the removal of elemental affinity
This is the big mod problem: Since the introduction of the “Armor 2.0” system in October 2019, Guardians have been requesting the elimination of elemental affinity for mods. The promised freedom in armor customization led to the situation where players had to farm not just one good armor, but a total of 3.
Guardians needed a Solar, Void, and Arc version of all gear pieces.
Because mods for hand cannons only fit into Void armors. To effectively use your shotgun, you need Arc armors. Since Destiny always has you carrying 3 weapons, it is hard to balance all elements or switch loadouts.
Mods for sniper rifles currently only fit into Void helmets
The planned changes will finally ensure that the element of your armor no longer matters.
Two aspects you must also consider according to Bungie:
“Charged with Light” mods that need a second elemental mod for a bonus effect activate when you wear a matching elemental mod on the same armor piece OR when you wear any other “Charged with Light” mod on any other armor piece.
With Beyond Light, there will be more mods available per armor piece, which could lead to confusion.
This is why normal mods are being improved: According to Bungie, many players do not feel the effects of normal mods. Thus, reloading a weapon is not noticeably faster with the corresponding reload mod. Guardians therefore only equip the enhanced versions or double stack the mods.
Many Guardians will be pleased that they will receive uniformly better mods that even cost less than the current “Enhanced Mods” and are easier to find.
When you equip a reload mod, you’ll feel the difference starting with Beyond Light
The only downside is the raid mods starting with Beyond Light
What is the deal with the raid changes? No Guardian would likely have any issues with an additional 5th mod slot. This allows you to use the visually appealing armors outside of the raid as well. When you then enter the endgame activity, you can equip specific mods.
But there is a “but” that might annoy some players: The 5th mod slot is only available on armors acquired after Beyond Light. Additionally, the “anti-mods” are being revamped or completely removed:
Anti-Daedalus mods from “Last Wish” only work in that raid.
In the future, Bungie aims to make raid mods more along the lines of the mods from “Garden of Salvation“, focusing on supporting raid mechanics rather than general effects.
Did you farm the old raid armors?
This is why it’s frustrating: Recently, Bungie made the old raids significantly more relevant. Thus, some Guardians farmed several raid sets. But now, to use the 5th mod slot, they might have to discard those armors.
The removal of the “anti-mods” in most play areas might also irritate some Guardians. Since mods like “Darkness Weaponry” provided endless power ammo.
According to Destiny expert Datto, this is a good decision because these mods negatively affect many areas of the game. He says:
Weapon mods are one of the top 3 reasons why Gambit isn’t fun. They create many balance issues, and developers always have to keep in mind that some players have infinite power ammo.
What do you think of the upcoming changes to the mod system? Especially the removal of elemental affinity, the free upgrade to the improved version, and more general slots for exotics are successful quality-of-life improvements. Or do the changes to the raid mods leave a bitter taste for you?
In Call of Duty: Warzone the top streamer Tfue recently demonstrated impressively what happens when a skilled player is given a superior weapon. With his trusty SP-R 208, he eliminated 6 opponents with precise headshots in less than a minute, effortlessly. His teammates were absolutely thrilled.
What happened? Top streamer Turner “Tfue” Tenny – mainly known from Fortnite – was playing in CoD Warzone with fellow streamers Scump and Nadeshot. To the dismay of his opponents, Tfue had gotten his hands on the newly released Season 6SP-R 208 and had already achieved a remarkable 14 kills.
But when the group reached the location Boneyard, Tfue took it a step further. He encountered enemies and unleashed an unprecedented massacre. Whenever he spotted an opponent, he immediately aimed with his scope and precisely shot each enemy down. Every headshot was an instant kill, and Tfue seemed to never miss. Even downed opponents were finished off with an additional headshot for good measure.

Only on the last opponent, who cheekily parachuted in, did Tfue shoot just wide. However, he quickly corrected his “mistake” with another headshot. In this way, Tfue eliminated 6 opponents in less than a minute, achieving all headshots.
Teammates amazed in awe “What are you doing?!”
Here’s how the teammates reacted: Nadeshot and Scump, both not beginners themselves, were in awe of such shooting skills and praised Tfue’s shooting spree with complimentary words:
“Jesus, Turner, what are you doing?”
“What’s going on here!?”
“Dude, you are really elite!”
“You are really insane!”
“Say, are you making a montage here?” Nadeshot remarked at the end. It really looked like Tfue was planning to create a video montage of his headshot skills.
This is the feared SP R 208.
Also remarkable was that Tfue didn’t make a sound during his victory march, methodically taking down one opponent after another as if it were the most normal thing in the world.
The clip truly impressively demonstrates how powerful the new sniper SP-R 208 is. Because the new weapon from Season 6 of Warzone has virtually no bullet drop with the right upgrades and is almost a hitscan weapon, always hitting the targeted target. As long as the developers do not nerf the new gun, you can learn here how to optimally upgrade the SP-R 208.

This La Liga team is strong and costs not too many coins
What players are in the team? It’s really fun to build a cheap La Liga team, as the selection of cheap yet strong players is quite good. We were able to assemble a solid team where hardly any player costs more than 5,000 coins.
Only Iago Aspas (7,000 coins) and Nacho Fernandez (6,200 coins) cost a bit more. However, it is worth it, as they are almost unparalleled in their positions at this price range.
A strong team from La Liga for little coins
This is how much the team costs: If you currently look at the prices on the PS4 transfer market of FUT (10.10.), this team costs only 38,000 coins.
However, you should keep in mind that prices can still fluctuate a lot.
This is what the players can do:
Norberto Neto is a stable goalkeeper, primarily convincing due to his height of 1.90 meters and his low price of 4,000 coins.
Yuri Berchiche is a fast left-back with excellent defensive and physical attributes. The price: 3,400 coins.
Jean-Clair Todibo can impress with good stats. He is not too slow and provides good defensive values for the start. He costs 2,400 coins.
Nacho Fernandez costs 6,200 coins, which is a bit more, but it’s worth it. Especially due to his good pace and very good defensive statistics.
Sergi Roberto is a decent starter LB, due to his all-around good values, especially his passing. Cost: 3,400 coins.
Saúl brings defensive stability to midfield for just 4,200 coins. His only weakness is pace, which does not play a significant role in his position.
Ansu Fati costs 1,000 coins, is lightning fast, and also strong in dribbling. Perfect for the left wing.
Martin Ødegaard has everything an attacking midfielder needs to get started. He is precise in passing, strong in dribbling, fast, and can even shoot quite well. Additionally, he has 5-star skill moves and costs only 2,900 coins.
Rodrygo can be excellently compared to Ansu Fati. He offers similar stats, which are even slightly better. He costs: 1,800 coins.
Alexander Isak is a real bargain at only about 950 coins. His strengths are especially his speed and very good shooting stats. He is also 1.92 meters tall and has 4-star skill moves and 5-star weak foot, which is a true blessing for a striker.
Iago Aspas is the most expensive player in this lineup. The cost of nearly 7,000 coins is worth it, as he is likely to score plenty of goals for your starter squad. His offensive stats are all solid, and particularly the 4-star weak foot adds a lot of danger.
