In Pokémon GO there is a bargain to be had again starting today. Players who enjoy playing raids from home should be pleased.
Update, 10:01 PM: You can now find the new package for 1 coin in the Pokémon GO shop!
Update, 4:20 PM: So far, the bundle is still unavailable. Since Niantic does not specify an exact time in the announcement, a release sometime during the evening is also feasible. Currently, speculation is the only way to address the exact time. At 10:00 PM, the legendary raid boss will switch from Heatran to Cresselia – it’s possible that the passes will come to the shop at this occasion.
Update, 12:50 PM: As of now, the new pass bundle has not appeared in the shop. It remains to be seen when the box will be available.
What’s new? As Niantic announced on Twitter, a new bundle with three Remote Raid Passes will be available in the shop on September 10. It will cost only one coin again – normally, a bundle of 3 passes costs a total of 250 coins. Such a raid “gift” has been offered at the beginning of the month already.

So anyone who needs new Remote Raid Passes should log in to Pokémon GO starting today. Most players still likely have the one coin in their account. If not, it’s enough to complete the daily tasks for coins or briefly take over a gym.
How do I get the gift? The pass bundle will appear in the Pokémon GO Shop. This means: You just need to click on the small Pokéball at the bottom center of your screen to go to the main menu of the game and then click on “Shop”. Normally, the gift boxes appear directly at the top of the shop under “limited time only”, just below your daily free box.
This is how the gift was found last time
What else should be noted? Anyone who currently has three raid passes in their inventory should at least spend one of them. Otherwise, they will likely not be able to secure the offer – at least that was the case with previous comparable offers. Also, you can only use the offer once, so don’t expect a new free raid box every day.
What’s currently in raids?
Here you can use the passes: On Thursday evening, the raid boss Heatran was replaced by Cresselia. Those who do not yet have the monster in their ranks can use the passes for that, for example.
The first gift appeared shortly after the introduction of Mega Evolutions and matched the new Mega event. The second week of this event starts this Friday – it’s quite possible that this is the reason for the new gift.
During the Houndoom week, trainers are supposed to use Mega Evolutions in battles. And to get those, you need to complete a lot of Mega Raids.

The FIFA 21 ratings are about to be released. However, this year seems to be different from what we’ve seen in the previous editions.
Update, September 10, 5:20 PM: The new ratings are known! Here you can find the highest FIFA 21 ratings at a glance!
When are the FIFA 21 ratings coming? As EA Sports announced on Twitter, at least the first ratings will be presented on Thursday, September 10. The release is scheduled for 5:00 PM.
FIFA 21 ratings without Top 100? That the first ratings are presented before the game’s launch is nothing new. However, in recent years, EA Sports always used a Top 100, usually with a countdown to the best players.
This year, however, EA Sports released the ratings teaser not with the Top 100 theme, but under the motto “The Ratings Collective”. You can see the teaser here:

This can be seen in the teaser: In the FIFA 21 Ratings Collective trailer, some of the FIFA 21 ambassadors like super talent Erling Haaland, Joao Felix, and cover star Kylian Mbappé can be seen. In addition, brief cards of players like Steven Bergwijn, Rodrygo, Mason Mount, Phil Foden, and Theo Hernandez are shown.
If you look closely, you can even recognize a few ratings briefly:
Mount seems to have an 80 in the trailer
Rodrygo is at 79
Bergwijn at 83
What connects these players? All these players can still be considered talents, none of them is older than 22 years. Just before the teaser reveal, EA Sports also posted graphics of Mount, Hernandez, Rodrygo, and Sergiño Dest – also a young talent playing for Ajax Amsterdam – and asked how the ratings for these players should look.

So the “Ratings Collective” seems to revolve around a group of talented players. It will be exciting to see if it is indeed these players that will receive their ratings on Thursday. It is also unclear how many player ratings EA Sports will release on Thursday.
It is also possible that “Ratings Collective” and “Top 100” do not exclude each other, and the best players will be announced at a later time. For context: Last year, the weakest player in the Top 100, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, had a rating of 85. Players like Mount, Rodrygo, or Bergwijn are all likely to be rated below 85, even if their ratings turn out to be higher than they seem in the trailer.
On Thursday afternoon, we will know more about it. Until then, we have summarized all the important information about the release of FIFA 21 at a glance.

In Destiny 2, players can show off cool titles. Is “Unbroken” really the rarest title and does everyone have “Wanderer”? We answer these and other questions in the ranking of the 18 titles.
These are titles in Destiny 2: In the titles, there are cool customizations for your Guardians. Alongside your gamer name, the prestigious title of your character is also visible to everyone else.
Update August 10, 2020: This article was originally published in February 2020 but has now been expanded with 5 titles from Seasons 9, 10, and 11 and updated with new data.
You can boast powerfully with the titles because they are usually tied to hard work, time-intensive grinding, or very tricky triumphs. However, in this article, we are concerned with which title is actually the rarest. So you can now factually state: My Guardian has the rarest one.
In Beyond Light, some changes to this system are coming, and some titles will even become unattainable:
Where does the data come from? The numbers presented in the article come from Charlemagne. This name refers both to Charlemagne and a Discord bot that provides statistics, event planning, and leaderboards related to Destiny 2.
At Warmind.Io, you can get all sorts of interesting data and facts about Destiny 2. However, the numbers should be taken with a grain of caution because they do not come officially from Bungie. As Destiny 2 grants third parties insight into its data via API, and Warmind.Io is used by many Guardians, clear trends can indeed be derived.
In Destiny lore, Charlemagne is said to be connected with the famous Warmind Rasputin.
Rank 18 – Dredgen
The Gambit title Dredgen is currently the most common title suffix. If you play Gambit frequently, you likely completed most of the required triumphs along the way. Since Bungie simplified the grind further, the Wandering has many new Dredgen colleagues.
The numbers say: 588,662 players own the Dredgen title. That means about 64% of users have this title. In comparison to the rarest titles, this number is astronomical.
The Drifter appoints you to Dredgen
Rank 17 – Wanderer
To be called aWanderer, you must be a true globetrotter. You need to traverse many planets and collect tons of gear. This is a labor title.
The numbers say: 296,754 can call themselves Wanderer. This corresponds to 33.5% of users. Interestingly, Wanderer is considered the least prestigious title, but it is actually considerably rarer than Dredgen.
The Savior is a so-called seasonal title. These could only be earned during the corresponding season and are related to the story that was experienced during this time. In Season 9, we rescued Saint-14 from the time storms and, of course, saved the entire universe along the way.
The numbers say: 252,953 Guardians have achieved the certified Savior title, which is 28.5%.
Once together with the idol Saint-14 to save the world
Rank 15 – Cursebreaker
With the title Cursebreaker, Guardians are honored who proved themselves in the Dreaming City. This includes, among other things, completion of the Shattered Throne, one of the most popular Destiny activities of all time.
The numbers say: 181,541 worthy Cursebreakers are counted by Warmind.Io. This corresponds to almost one-fifth, namely 20.5% of the relevant users.
The Dreaming City resembles a fairy tale fantasy world
Rank 14 – Almighty
The award Almighty is also a seasonal title. For this, players had to shoot down a Cabal fleet ship crashing to Earth from orbit in Season 10 alongside the powerful Warmind Rasputin.
The numbers say: Particularly devoted were 169,017 Guardians, to whom we now owe the survival of the Last City (19.1%).
The title MMXIX is currently no longer earnable and was tied to the Triumph Moments of 2019. It is the first title that came with a time limitation.
The numbers say: 148,402 Destiny players have the title MMXIX. In other words: 16.7% of users carry the Roman numerals that mean “2019”.
The armor of the Solstice reminds many Guardians (painfully) of the Triumph Moments
Rank 12 – Immortal
The title Immortal is still a seasonal title. This title suffix has not been reachable since Season 8. Those who fought back the allegedly “immortal” robots during the Vex Offensive may show that they were there.
The numbers say: With 145,820 users who have earned the Immortal title, this suffix is only slightly ahead of rank 11. This time it is 16.5% of users.
The suffix MMXX is tied to the currently ongoing Triumph Moments 2020. To be able to show off this title, you must show what you can do this year in all areas of Destiny.
The numbers say: So far, 73,638 users have triumphed, which corresponds to 8.3%. Unlike the Solstice event, which ended on September 8, you have until November 10 to meet all other requirements for this title.
During the period of the Triumph Moments 2020, the Solstice also took place
On the next page, we will take a look at the 10 rarest titles and reveal right now that there is a new rank 1.

In Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, the beta starts in October. We at MeinMMO will tell you when the dates will take place and how you can participate.
Update October 6: The beta will start soon, and we have compiled all the important information about the testing phase in a special:
What kind of beta is this? The upcoming tests in October will be partly closed and partly open beta. There will be early access dates where only pre-orderers can participate.
The testing will take place over two weekends, with the first exclusively on PS4, which was also known through a leak. The second weekend will also be open for PC and Xbox One. The exact times for the events are currently not available.
In addition, beta codes are occasionally raffled, officially from Activision. Such an action was organized by CODTracker on Twitter.
For the open beta, you do not need to pre-order. However, you need Xbox Gold, an account on BattleNet, or PlayStation Plus (only in certain regions) if you want to participate in the beta.
What will be playable in the beta? So far, there is no information about the content of the beta. However, we will update the article as soon as we have it.
Is there a preload for the beta? No statement has been made about that so far.
When is Cold War released? The release of the new shooter is on November 13, about one month after the first beta.
New CoD Cold War trailer revealed: In the lead-up to the reveal, Call of Duty referred to a “next-generation multiplayer mode”. This has now been shown: On Tuesday evening at exactly 7:00 PM, the new trailer for CoD: Black Ops Cold War went online.
As promised at the reveal event in Warzone, it focuses on the multiplayer mode of the new installment. Here you can watch it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXRQyd6_5j4
When will Black Ops Cold War be released? The new game will be released on November 13, 2020, for PC, Xbox One, and PS4. It will also be available for the next generation of consoles.
Beta in October: If you want to test CoD: Cold War before it releases, you can participate in the beta in October. Here you will find all the information on the beta dates.
All information from the CoD: Cold War multiplayer reveal
This is shown in the trailer: The new trailer featured several locations of the multiplayer in the new CoD. The gameplay is from the PS5 version of the game.
The trailer starts with a mission that sends the team to Miami. There was immediately plenty of action, including the use of ziplines and the taking down of a submarine.
The new multiplayer sends you across the whole world
Then it continued to Angola, Uzbekistan, and the Ural Mountains. The multiplayer will send players across the course of history. So far, the following maps have been introduced:
Armada: The map takes place in the North Atlantic and leads you over ships and gun boats.
Crossroads: The map takes you to Uzbekistan. Tanks and snowmobiles will be in use here.
Miami: Fight your way through the neon-lit streets of Ocean Drive.
Moscow: Here, a Spetsnaz team meets a CIA team amidst street battles.
Satellite: Here you fight in the heart of Central Africa, in the Angolan desert.
However, these five maps are just a selection of many maps that are expected to be available at launch.
The battles will be conducted on land, in the air, and at sea. During the reveal event, the developers emphasized the different approaches using the Miami level. You can attack head-on or sneak through the shadows. You can also dive into the water and shift the fight to another part of the map.
The Miami map is inspired by the famous “Ocean Drive”
These modes are included in CoD: Black Ops Cold War
The developers promised revamped versions of popular modes like Team Deathmatch, Domination, Search & Destroy, Kill Confirmed, and Control. Additionally, there will be new modes:
VIP Escort: This is a 6v6 mode. A random player will be designated as the VIP – and must now be protected or hunted depending on the team. The VIP has only a pistol, a smoke grenade, and a UAV at their disposal. The protection team tries to get the VIP out of the zone while the other team tries to take them out. This mode had already appeared in a previous leak.
Combined Arms: This is a 12v12 affair. Here, infantry soldiers and vehicles will be in use. Depending on the map, this can include tanks, speedboats, snowmobiles, or helicopters.
Fireteam: In “Fireteam”, up to ten four-player teams compete against each other. The environment is expected to play an important role here – further information should be available closer to the release.
If you want to take a closer look at the new content of the multiplayer, you can find the first gameplay impressions by the English YouTuber jackfrags here:

What will be important for CoD Cold War: In addition to the trailer, the maps, and the modes, further information on the multiplayer of CoD Black Ops Cold War has been presented. This includes:
Gunsmith – The gunsmith from Modern Warfare returns in Cold War as well. You can modify your weapons again with up to 5 attachments. The loadouts can be assembled similar to Modern Warfare.
Wildcard – With the wildcards known from the Black Ops series, an extra perk is introduced that improves your entire loadout (for example, allows you to carry more equipment).
Warzone – The developers elaborated on the progress that the Warzone and Cold War share. You can carry all progress from Warzone into the Black Ops multiplayer.
The multiplayer offers cross-play, cross-progression, and cross-generation. In theory, five players can play together across completely different platforms.
The classic mini-map from earlier CoD titles returns.
The score streaks return in Cold War. The points collected remain after death and can provide players with quality gear for the fight.
The current trailer is likely to further fuel the discussions about CoD: Black Ops Cold War. Among other things, streamer Dr Disrespect spoke about the game and speculated that it could be the best CoD of all time.

A player shows a trick for CEOs in GTA Online. Finding cargo in vans becomes significantly easier, saving you a lot of time.
What is it about? Anyone wanting to make money in GTA Online – and that’s pretty much everyone – has several options to choose from. A lucrative business opportunity is provided by the job of a CEO. Although this work takes a lot of time, it rewards you with millions of GTA dollars.
As a CEO, you order crates that then appear somewhere on the map for you to collect. There is a mission where you need to use the Trackify app on your in-game smartphone. During this job, 3 vans drive through the city and are marked as points on the Trackify radar. Only one of the vans carries the requested goods that you need to steal.
It takes time to check all the vans and figure out which one has the cargo. A trick makes this mission child’s play, as you will immediately find the right van.
Here’s how to directly find the right van with Trackify
This is the trick: After starting the mission, open the Trackify app on your in-game smartphone and closely observe the red points there. If a total of 3 points appear, go directly to the point that lights up last. They appear with a delay.
The last of the three points will definitely have the right package, as reddit user OohltzMario shares with the community. In his video, he shows exactly how the trick works. Pay attention to the red points that are displayed in the app. The upper marker appears significantly later than the other two.

What about the first expansion of WoW Classic? Rumors are circulating – and they promise good things.
In World of Warcraft Classic, some players are complaining that Ahn’Qiraj is not open yet, while some are already waiting for the next big Naxxramas patch. However, the question of how things will proceed after the official Classic time frame lies further ahead. Will there be a “Burning Crusade Classic”? How will that work? More and more rumors are currently circulating.
What are these rumors? Nano, a former member of the Nostalrius team, the largest WoW private server that existed for a long time, spoke up on Twitter. He stated that he has heard new rumors. According to them…
Naxxramas is supposed to be released early in December.
The beta of “The Burning Crusade” is set to start in March/April 2021.
However, these rumors are not confirmed, as Nano does not provide any sources – presumably to protect them. Whether there is truth behind the news remains to be seen.
What would that mean? If the rumors prove true, players could expect a “The Burning Crusade Classic” as early as summer 2021 – so just under two years after the original release. That at least sounds like a realistic approach.
However, The Burning Crusade has not yet been announced. Initial surveys from Blizzard suggest that the developers are considering it and may already be in a planning phase.
What might a “Classic TBC” look like? That’s the interesting question. Because Blizzard would once again need to balance the different interests of the community. After all, not all WoW Classic players want to switch to The Burning Crusade, but prefer to remain in the old world. The two most likely options would be:
A character copy to new “The Burning Crusade” servers. Here, you can play the expansion while the old realms and characters remain at the Classic state.
All realms automatically become TBC servers. Those who do not want that can transfer to new realms that remain at the Classic state.
Ultimately, what comes remains to be seen. But with a bit of luck, we’ll learn more about it in early 2021. Because then Blizzard wants to make up for the BlizzCon with a digital event and will surely talk about the future of WoW Classic and its possible expansions.

In League of Legends, the champion Shen is currently very popular. He is often used in the top lane or as a supporter. Recently, however, he is increasingly taking on the role of a jungler. Players from the professional team TSM have notably used him there, winning the Summer Playoffs of the LCS.
Why has Shen suddenly become so popular? The popularity of Shen is a gradual process and has been facilitated by some adjustments over the course of the season:
The beginning was Patch 10.6 in March of this year. There, the damage from “Twilight Assault” (Q) against monsters was significantly increased. Riot already laid the foundation for Shen as a jungler there.
With Patch 10.15, his passive “KI Barrier” was strengthened, making him a better top laner. This change was slightly weakened again in Patch 10.18, but he is still better than before the adjustments.
What makes Jungle Shen so interesting? Shen was already very popular as a jungler in Seasons 2 and 3. However, he had more useful skills for the jungle back then, such as lifesteal on “Q” and low cooldown on “W,” which granted him a shield. However, a rework in 2016 made Shen unplayable in the jungle.
The new adjustments have made him at least a bit better in the jungle. Furthermore, his taunt and ultimate are extremely useful in team fights.
In Patch 10.16, Shen was played in the jungle in 0.3% of all matches in SoloQ, in the current Patch 10.18 already in 0.6% (via u.gg). This is a remarkable increase.
Other professional teams have also started using Shen in the jungle:
“Jankos” from G2 used him in the finals of the LEC against Fnatic.
The professional “Spirit” from Afreeca Freecs, a Korean team already qualified for the Worlds, mentioned in an interview that they are also keeping an eye on Jungle Shen (via Invenglobal).
What should you pay attention to? Shen is not particularly strong at defeating monsters in the jungle or ganking in the lanes unless you land an early taunt correctly.
Exactly this is what “Spica” did in the game against Team Liquid (for mobile users: the gank starts at 9:25):

Shen is especially useful when you have solo laners who deal a lot of damage and can reach the backline of the enemies. Then Shen can join with his ultimate and taunt the enemy directly.
How to play Shen in the jungle? You should first skill your “Q” and max it first. “W” is useful if enemies try to farm in your jungle, “E” if you want to gank.
For runes, you should focus on:
Resolve – Grasp of the Undying, Shield Bash, Second Wind, Unflinching
Domination – Sudden Impact, Ravenous Hunter
Attack – Flex – Defense
Even though he is somewhat slow in the jungle, he is one of the easier champions there.
Faker, one of the superstars in LoL.
Spica and Jankos achieved 1st place in their respective region with Jungle Shen. However, for a well-known team from Korea, things do not look so good. Nevertheless, player Faker remains one of the best and most famous players worldwide.
The legendary operator Ghost from Call of Duty sends you on a special excursion in the Warzone. In exchange for experience points, you are to gather classified information for him in Verdansk and learn more about the story of the Battle Royale. MeinMMO shows you the locations.
What are Intel missions? Along with the introduction of Season 4, new Intel missions were launched, which you can check in the challenges tab of the menu in Call of Duty: Warzone. Under the section “Missions”, you will find the “Classified Information” tab on the far right.
Ghost sends you on a scavenger hunt across the Warzone city of Verdansk to clarify events prior to the evacuation and to understand the machinations of the bad guys.
For the tasks of Week 3 Season 5, you need to collect a total of 6 Intels and can quickly earn 32,500 experience points with it. To make sure you don’t have to search for the mission “Sins of the Father” alone, you’ll find the locations and tips here to help you complete it. The solutions to the other Intel missions can be found here:
A few nasty characters are pursuing their dark plans in Verdansk.
How to complete the 7 steps of the Intel mission in CoD Warzone
Tips: One of the tasks requires you to breach the sealed secret rooms in the stadium. Theoretically, this can also be accomplished alone, but it will be significantly easier with a few teammates. You may also find 3 OP items that are not available anywhere else here.
Before you start, take a look at the note in the task. There are reports that the mission only counts correctly once you have glanced at the note.
You can only complete one Intel from the mission per match and must finish the next step only in a new round. However, it is possible to collect classified information from other Intel missions in one round. For example, if you have not completed Season 5 Week 1 yet, you can also check off one data package from that mission.
It’s best to complete the mission in the “Plunder” mode or “Blood Money”. Here, you can respawn repeatedly and have significantly more attempts per match. If you’re in a team, each of you must pick up the data personally.
Attention Bug: There have been ongoing reports that players are unable to pick up certain Intels. If you are affected, there is currently nothing you can do about it and you will have to hope for a patch.
1. Find the location from Ghost’s message
Reward: 2,500 experience points
How to complete the task: For the first data, you’ll land on one of the northern towers of the prison in the southeastern part of Verdansk. More specifically, it is the right one of the two. “Prison” is often well-frequented and campers are also lurking in Plunder rounds. Land, grab the coin, annoy a few campers, and then off to the next one.
2. A CCTV near metro exits may have spotted something…
Reward: 5,000 experience points
How to complete the task: Intel number 2 can be found east of the airport, more specifically south of the 3 hangars. Right at the entrance to the closed subway station, you will see a camera hanging on the large residential building. Forget all data protection regulations and grab the footage from the security camera.
How to complete the task: For the 3rd classified information, you will go to the Superstore. The quickest way to reach the point is to land on the northern side, on the rooftop piece that sits between the ground and the large roof. From here, you climb into the former consumption temple and see the large area in the middle. Move to the right to the first large shelf, walk a few meters in, and in a corner, you will find an improvised sleeping place as well as a teddy bear. Snatch the precious data from the plush bear, and number 3 is completed.
How to complete the task: In the trail of the sought-after information, you will follow a Superstore truck that brought fresh sausages to the stadium while also transporting the data. The truck is located southeast of the now opened football arena, and you need to clamber in from the back right to complete number 4.
5. Hardware was delivered to Suite 320. Entry requires an access code…
Reward: 5,000 experience points
How to complete the task: This classified information is the most challenging of all that you need to complete since the launch of the Intel missions. You need to enter the secret room in the stadium, where you will also receive the Enigma blueprint for the AN-94. For this, you need 3 blue access cards, must visit a total of 3 rooms, and decode a code to get into the last room.
6. There was a broadcast from the parking structure…
Reward: 5,000 experience points
How to complete the task: For the last data, you need to return to one of the secret rooms. But this time you only need one blue access card – P2-16. The appropriate room is located below in the large parking garage. Search the stadium for the card, open the little room, and grab the important information from the computer so that Ghost gives you a break for this week.
How to complete the task: The last task is purely a reward. In the lobby, a grinning Ghost awaits you, ready to deposit the 5,000 experience points into your XP account in the form of an oversized check.

The small “story campaign” of the Warzone offers insights into the events surrounding the attack on Verdansk and provides plenty of experience points. It can be a nice break from the sweaty Battle Royale, where you hunt enemies with the best weapons in Warzone. Sometimes that is quite refreshing.

The gaming company Electronic Arts and Xbox maker Microsoft have announced a partnership. The services EA Access and Origin Access will be integrated into EA Play in the Xbox Game Pass. This means: Some of EA’s best games for anyone with an Xbox or a PC who subscribes.
This is the announcement: Microsoft has announced that EA Play will be integrated into the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for Xbox Game Pass for PC . This means that in addition to the already over 100 games from Microsoft, over 60 more from EA will be added. Among them are titles such as:
In addition, the offer is a free expansion. So, if you are already using one of the two services, you get EA Play simply as a bonus, along with all the games included in the offer.
When does EA Play come to the Game Pass? There is no specific date yet. However, it has been said that the EA Play membership will be integrated into the Game Pass by the end of 2020, according to the press release, just in time for the Christmas business.
Why is this such an amazing offer? Currently, the two offers are separate, and anyone who wants to benefit from them has to pay for both. However, that will change with the partnership.
The Game Pass has already been a pretty good offer, and there are several reasons why so many say it is worth it. The Game Pass Ultimate for €12.99 per month includes over 200 games, more than 100 of which are permanent, and new ones are constantly being added. This applies to both PC and Xbox simultaneously. Highlights include games such as:
Anyone who is already using the Game Pass on their Xbox or PC has free access to huge blockbusters from EA. Even the new Star Wars: Squadrons has been announced as part of EA Play. EA Play alone already costs €3.99 per month, and the Pro version costs €14.99.
Squadrons will be released on October 2.
For players who enjoy having a lot of choices but do not want to acquire a massive game library, this subscription service is ideal. With new additions like The Sims and FIFA, the offer is even worthwhile for families who enjoy gaming with their children.
Players are thrilled
The initial reactions to the announcements are mostly positive. Players are excited that they receive additional games without extra costs, and some see it as a reason to switch to an Xbox:
WNTRS on Twitter writes: “Uff. I have been a Sony user for years. But with this, you have managed to make me actually buy an Xbox. Challenge accepted, nice!”
JohnnyKrombacher comments under the tweet: “The Game Pass keeps getting better. Like Netflix, but for gaming. Awesome.”
ReacTeam64 writes on YouTube: “For €12.99, that’s crazy.”
The YouTube video has already received over 12,500 likes compared to only 172 dislikes within just a few minutes.
The fact that EA Play will be integrated into the Game Pass by the end of 2020 is also a good fit for players who want to purchase the new Xbox Series X or the smaller Xbox Series S.
Both consoles had another announcement made just before the Game Pass presentation. Their prices have now been officially announced, and the release of the new Xbox is already on November 10. For some, this offer might even be a reason to specifically choose Xbox over its competitor PlayStation 5.

We clarify why the long wait for the final Exotic from Season 11 in Destiny 2 was worth it. The Exotic hand cannon “Traveler’s Chosen” even surpasses its early praise.
This is the weapon: The third and final Exotic of Season 11 is the Traveler’s Chosen hand cannon. The weapon deals kinetic damage and belongs to the 300 archetype, just like the popular Drang. The Traveler’s Chosen looks like our first broken weapon that we found after the defeat against the Cabal – but it’s significantly more powerful.
The stats are impressive:
Most notably, the astronomical range of 87 surpasses all cousins by nearly double
The handling is enormous at 89
The magazine holds 15 rounds, which can penetrate shields and enemies thanks to “Armor-Piercing Rounds” and have increased range
Even the hidden values like aim assist (85) and recoil control (85) impress immediately.
Here you see a compact summary of the stats – keep in mind that the positive effects of the perks have not yet been calculated:
These are the exotic abilities: The Traveler’s Chosen offers two Exo perks inspired by our large, round Guardian in the sky:
Light Collection: By getting kills, you collect Light stacks that you can consume at the press of a button (reload button). This grants you melee, grenade, and class ability energy
Gift of the Traveler: Each collected and not consumed Light stack passively increases reload speed, handling, and aim assist
This provides interesting options. The Exotic can be played actively or simply grant passive bonuses through the Light stacks. Let’s take a closer look at this new mechanic.
How do Light stacks work?
In PvE, a kill also grants you a Light stack
In PvP, each defeated Guardian grants 3 Light stacks
The maximum amount of stacks is 10
You always consume all accumulated stacks at once, so you cannot just take a small bite and save the rest
The accumulated charges do not expire on their own and remain active when changing weapons or after using your super – however, if you die, the stacks will disappear
If you consume all 10 stacks, all melee, grenade, and class abilities are fully restored. Normally, however, 8 stacks are sufficient if you have minimal energy left.
The Traveler’s Chosen visually still resembles our first broken weapon
Here’s how to get the new Exotic: The Traveler’s Chosen is a guaranteed quest reward from Zavala. You only need to evacuate half of the solar system for this. Here’s how you can do that, as found here on MeinMMO:
What can the new weapon Exotic from Season 11 do in practice?
The Traveler’s Chosen has been showered with early praise by experts even before its release in the game . Because the base stats and exotic perks have been accessible in the databases for months. So how does the Exotic actually perform?
How powerful is the Exotic in PvP: In the Crucible, the Traveler’s Chosen should establish itself as a staple. This is due to three factors: its excellent stat values, the 300 archetype, and the enormous boost from the exotic perks.
In summary, it looks like this:
A headshot deals 51 damage, a body shot 35
This results in an optimal TTK of only 0.6 seconds – the dominant 600 auto rifles like Grash of Malice (0.7 seconds) and 150 hand cannons like Not Forgotten (0.8 seconds) cannot keep up
The high base stats increase enormously due to passive bonuses
Since you immediately accumulate 3 Light stacks in PvP, you feel the effects significantly right away
Especially on controller, the aim assist becomes really sticky
At distances of up to about 20 meters, few weapons can compete with you
Whether you rely on the enormous passive bonuses and wield one of the smoothest weapons in hand, or actively charge up about a third of all abilities, every playstyle benefits from the Traveler’s Chosen.

The only real downside mentioned by PvP expert Aztecross was the distracting glowing effects that can obstruct vision. However, due to the high recoil control, this is just an optical problem; the gun fires where it should, even under sustained fire.
How does this look in PvE? If you are looking for a weapon for high damage numbers and quick boss kills, you should equip a different Exotic. The Traveler’s Chosen cannot compete with raw DPS values and damage output but excels in another way.
Having your abilities instantly back at the press of a button or effectively using them twice is invaluable. In Destiny, many abilities deal more damage than shots, and even the largest raid bosses can be debuffed.
This new Exotic is aimed at players who love flashy effects, cherish space wizards, or enjoy experimenting with builds.
It is likely that the Exotic hand cannon will only reach its full potential with the new Stasis classes
If you additionally focus on the “Charged with Light” mechanic – which functions very similarly but must be powered separately through mods – you can create a powerful build. This way, you can easily acquire the missing extra damage. You don’t need to do anything actively; you just enjoy a true feel-good weapon – but could you ever go back?
Have you already successfully completed the evacuation and experimented with your new Exotic weapon? Especially concerning the skill-intensive Stasis supers from Beyond Light, the Traveler’s Chosen is likely to become even more popular in the fall.

The strategy game Crusader Kings 3 is a puzzle for many newcomers. Our author Schuhmann explains how he plays Crusader Kings 3 and why it leads to strange results. In his game, there are plenty of Irish, beautiful, and bear-strong geniuses. The reason is the decision “strengthen bloodline” and the genes.
Who is genetically optimized in Crusader Kings 3? In Crusader Kings 3, there are some “heritable traits”: Sometimes they are bad, sometimes good, sometimes strong, and sometimes less pronounced. That’s just how people have always been: One has a hump, another is handsome, one is clever, and the fourth one is a hemophiliac.
Crusader Kings 3 simulates all of this and presents it in a simplified form, represented by small icons that have an impact in the game.
Ideally, one can combine 4 positive traits in their strongest form in one character:
Genius – +5 to all stats and a 30% lifestyle bonus. This is by far the most valuable bonus.
Beautiful – 30% fertility and 30 attractiveness bonus. This determines how others see you. “Beautiful” is strong. If everyone likes the ruler, his realm stays together, and there’s not constantly anyone rebelling.
Hercules – +8 points to martial strength, plus a “mighty” health bonus and a 15 attractiveness bonus. With such bonuses, characters live significantly longer and are well-suited as knights.
Fertile – 50% fertility and 5 years longer life.
The emperor has “divine” traits: and at 71, he still looks magnificent. He also has 15 children.
In earlier games of Crusader Kings 3, it was hard to find a “Genius” at all. Previously, finding the “Kwisatz Haderach” proved to be laborious. But those days are over.
In my current game of Crusader Kings 3, I have a family with 2866 living members. Of them:
1466 are a Hercules or an Amazon
1782 are geniuses
1936 are beautiful
977 are a genius, a Hercules, and beautiful in one person
667 all of that and also “fertile”
You can see: Who is “just a genius” in the family is a loser and is only allowed to manage the garden. Governing the realm is miles away.
A family of geniuses: 2866 living members, of which 667 are beautiful, Hercules, genius, and fertile.
Genetics in Crusader Kings 3 is apparently completely unbalanced
What is the reason? Genetics in Crusader Kings 3 is a system that is currently completely broken. There are several bonuses that reinforce each other and ensure that eventually only good traits are inherited and they become increasingly pronounced.
A family simply optimizes itself genetically after a certain point.
Three systems interact:
Firstly, there’s the dynasty tree “Blood,” where long-term advantages are unlocked: Here you can choose perks 5 times that help to inherit “good traits” and eliminate bad traits from the bloodline.
The AI likes to marry neighbor’s children to each other. If you occupy every free land with your own descendants, the AI constantly marries cousins to each other. Since they all have good genes, the system optimizes itself.
However, particularly strong is a decision, after which your family receives a “40,000%” greater chance of good positive traits. For that, you need a ruler who is the dynasty head and brings good genetic traits. He then appoints himself as the “blood father”, or superhuman, if you will. You then benefit significantly from that bonus.
This is the crucial event “Strengthen Blood.” igcaption>
This is how the system works: If you want to play this way, you should ensure that
Good genes come into the family, so find and marry women and men with “good, heritable traits” – as many as possible. In polygamous religions (like island churches in Ireland), rulers can have up to 4 wives.
In any case, you should give your family members provinces, because in CK 3, primarily “relevant” figures who own land reproduce.
And you can let your son, if you have given him land, choose his own wives.
After playing a few generations, the family optimizes itself.

On GameStar Plus, you will find a detailed review of Crusader Kings 3. Here you will learn how the medieval global strategy game compares to its predecessor and how difficult or easy it is for newcomers.
If you have already decided to play Crusader Kings 3 and are now looking for more tips and guides for advanced players, you will also find it with the GameStar colleagues.
In the 5th generation, the first ruler with 3 positive traits was present. He could trigger the event.
The evil AI practices inbreeding – I don’t!
This is how it goes: I started in 867 AD and am currently at 1190, which is about the 9th generation of player characters. My heirs usually become kings early and then reign for a long time.
I must confess to one slip: I somehow got involved in a war in Eastern Europe, and some pagan ripped my king’s eye out. He somehow succumbed to his injuries on the way back to England and died before he could achieve anything. It happens.
Back to the genetics experiment. It’s interesting when you go through the ancestral line of my player character:
My current player character is an emperor and enjoys all 4 genetic advantages. He descends from my starting character in the 9th generation, the chieftain of Ormond – a character completely without genetic traits. However, he impregnated a “Brilliant Woman”. I chose her; it was my fault.
In the 2nd generation, there was an “intelligent” king who impregnated a robust and beautiful woman. Furthermore, the 1st king had several other children, all of whom reproduced and gave birth to children with good traits.
Then, from the evil AI, cousins were vigorously married, all of whom already displayed good traits. Thus, what happened in the first 2 generations continued to strengthen itself in the courts governed by the AI without my conscious intervention.
He appointed himself as the Blood Father, from that point the game was essentially over. The genetics run automatically.
In the 5th generation, I had a ruler in power who for the first time fulfilled all the requirements to trigger the event “strengthen bloodline”. And from that moment, this genetic avalanche began. He appoints himself in an event as the “Blood Father”, and these strong bonuses become active and remain active.
Ultimately, the hundreds, indeed thousands of current player characters in my dynasty are based on these first decisions I made 400 years earlier.
Now mechanics from Crusader Kings 3 kick in, and the good traits are surely passed on and even amplified. Because the AI loves to marry the cousins and cousins of my dynasty (or uncles and nieces), the gene pool avalanche really gets going.
This is my favorite character: a sadistic giant who can still fight fantastically even though he is blind. Cool.
In the 9th generation, practically every second person in my family is a muscular, beautiful genius who sets a dozen children into the world.
This creates an empire of powerful and brilliant warriors and administrators who can muster huge armies and support each other because they are practically clones and simply find each other great: “Oh, you’re a genius and beautiful! So am I! I like you!”
Thanks to Corona, we all now know what exponential growth looks like. The question is whether Crusader Kings 3 is really designed for this play style. When I want to click on the “family tree,” the game often hangs up. Probably too many branches.
Crusader Kings 3 has a lot to do with genetics.
Crusader Kings 3 is not a game that we regularly cover at MeinMMO. It really doesn’t fit the profile of our site. But it’s just so beautiful. If you want to dive into the game with genes yourself, you can read our beginner’s guide.
It describes exactly how to initiate the first steps to obtain your own band of beautiful, Irish geniuses with magnificent beards:

Even more games in Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and on PC
What else is new?EA Play will be part of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and part of Xbox Game Pass for PC. There are no additional costs to you. A partnership with Electronic Arts makes this possible. This expansion will be available in time for the Christmas business, the Xbox team explains.
For you, this means that in addition to the more than 100 games in the Xbox Game Pass collection, over 60 more titles from EA will be added. Among them hits like FIFA 20, Titanfall 2, or Need for Speed Heat. Battlefield, Mass Effect, or The Sims will then be part of the package – and that without additional costs.
In Fortnite: Battle Royale, the Llobeti Cup will start in just a few days. It is a trio tournament for almost all platforms. We will show you how to register so you can participate.
What kind of tournament is this? The Llobeti Cup is a trio tournament where you compete in teams of 3 against other teams. The tournament takes place on the platforms: PS4, PC, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
When does the Cup take place? The tournament will consist of a total of 3 rounds. The first two will start on September 12. The rounds will take place at the following times:
Round 1: September 12, 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM
Round 2: September 12, 8:00 PM – 11:00 PM
Round 3: September 13, 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM
Important: In this tournament, only the players who achieve a certain top placement in the previous round will advance to the next round. So if you want to participate, you need to start on the first day.
How to register
To unlock the Cup in the tournament menu, you must first register. We will show you how to do that.
Visit the Epic Games page
First, you need to go to the official Epic Games page to register for the tournament. Under the section: Tournaments, you will find the Llobeti Cup. Here is directly to the tournament page.
There you will find a linked “button” labeled “Register”. If you are not yet logged in on the page with your Epic account, you will be prompted to log in or create an account.
This is what the Cup looks like on the Epic page.
Once you have signed up and registered, you can log in to Fortnite, and the Cup will be displayed in the competition menu. As soon as the tournament starts on September 12, you will receive a notification, you can click on it, and you are in.
Is there a reward?
What reward awaits the winners of the tournament is unfortunately unknown. Epic has not provided any information on the website. It may be that this is a tournament without prizes.
However, we will inform you if any information about Epic’s prize pool becomes available.
It was very similar in the Cup hosted by YouTube star Standartskill. While there were no prizes, there was a chance to appear in his stream if you played particularly well in the tournament.

An English company announced lavish gold and platinum versions of the PS5 some time ago. Now, the price and availability of the gold and platinum console are known. However, those who want to buy it will need luck and a lot of money.
What is it about? The British company Truly Exquisite is known for offering flashy luxury versions of everyday items. There are already gold-plated smartphones for 5,000 euros or sneaker shoes adorned with sparkling Swarovski crystals. So those with money who want to flaunt their wealth belong to the target audience of Truly Exquisite.
The exact price, contents of the package, availability, and pre-order options are now known.
https://youtu.be/cy7pco9BAVQ
This is what the flashy console looks like.
Price, Pre-order and Package Contents of the Golden PS5
How much does the flashy PS5 cost? Truly Exquisite offers the luxury PS5 in three versions:
24-Carat Gold Digital PS5: The “cheapest” version of the console costs “only” £7,999 (€8,859.93). If you want it as a disc version, you’ll have to add another £100 (€110.76).
18-Carat Rose Gold Digital PS5: The version made of reddish gold is priced at £8,099 (€8,970.70), which is slightly more expensive. Again, the disc version costs another £100 more.
Platinum Digital PS5: The most expensive version of the flashy PS5 costs a hefty £8,199 (€9,081.46) and here too you can add £100 for the disc version.
The matching controller is included.
What do I get for my money? If you really want to afford these expensive devices, you at least get a complete PS5 console, with an option for a disc version at an extra cost. Additionally, you also receive 2 DualSense controllers as well as a 3D Pulse headset. The controller and headset also come in the matching finish.
The controller and headset are also available separately for £649 and £399, respectively.
All of this comes in an elegant wooden box. And if you’re already spending around €9,000 for a console, Truly Exquisite at least spares you the worldwide shipping fees and even covers the insurance of the precious product. It would be unfortunate if the gold PS5 fell overboard while crossing the English Channel…
The gold PS5 in all its glory.
How can you buy it? The golden PS5 will be released – like the regular console – only at the end of 2020. However, the luxury edition can be pre-ordered. This starts on September 10 at 16:00 our time.
If you really belong to those people who want to afford such a console, then you should promptly pre-order the luxury PS5 of your choice on Truly Exquisite’s website, as the company has stated that they will only produce each version exactly 250 times. Then it’s done, and it seems there will never be such a version of the PS5 again.
You want to buy the new PlayStation 5 and want to learn more about Sony’s upcoming console beforehand? In our Mein-MMO article “PlayStation 5 – Everything we know about Sony’s upcoming PS5“, you will find out everything that is currently known about the PlayStation 5.

Genshin Impact visually resembles The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and also promotes an open world with many side quests. However, you can explore in co-op mode and even complete dungeons together. MeinMMO editor Alexander Leitsch took a brief look at the game and evaluated reports from players and YouTubers.
What kind of game is this? Genshin Impact is a free-to-play action RPG with an open world and the ability to experience your adventures completely alone or with up to 3 additional friends.
The focus of the game is on the story, continuous leveling, and collecting new equipment. Additionally, the game offers you 4 daily quests and world bosses to defeat, which strongly resembles an MMORPG.
How does Genshin Impact play? At the start of the game, you have the choice of over 20 different characters, whose appearance, weapon, and element are predetermined. The elements (Anemo, Pyro, Cryo, Hydro, Electro, Geo) influence the combat system and combos in the game.
With your character, you then enter the game world, where you first need to complete some quests and tasks for the story. Over time, you level up your character (the maximum level is 80) and collect new equipment.
A small downside for story fans is that some chapters are only unlocked at the right level. This may require completing side quests or even grinding.
What is the story about? In Genshin Impact, you take on the role of a hero who is supposed to save the world. You are accompanied by an elf named Paimon, who first explains everything important to you and also accompanies you in the story. We don’t want to give too many spoilers at this point.
Genshin Impact offers many playable characters, between which you can switch freely. Xiangling (shown here) is one of them.
What does the game offer? In Genshin Impact, in addition to the story and side quests, you can also experience a variety of other things:
There are 4 professions – Forging, Cooking, Alchemy, and Processing
There are world bosses that you can defeat alone or with your friends.
There are various dungeons that require a certain level and reward you with various loot, including crafting materials.
There is the Abyss Tower, a solo instance with several levels that become harder as you ascend.
The open world contains all sorts of puzzles, side quests, and hidden chests.
The grind for equipment plays an important role but is also random, similar to Black Desert.
The game also impresses with various means of transportation: you can teleport from city to city and move in the open world by walking, climbing, swimming, and gliding. This is well-received by many.
YouTuber Jay RPG said in his video about Genshin Impact that the game strongly reminds him of an MMORPG, just without the other players. So if you enjoy playing solo in MMORPGs, you should definitely check out Genshin Impact.

How do you unlock co-op? Unfortunately, you cannot start directly in co-op in the RPG. First, you must reach level 16. After that, you can defeat world bosses and complete dungeons together with friends. However, you cannot play the story in co-op.
A game for PC and mobile that feels like a PC game
What is the combat system like? Genshin Impact uses a mix of action and tab-targeting. For some skills, you need to aim precisely, but the auto-attack automatically selects the targeted enemy.
The RPG offers you 4 skills per character:
An auto-attack
A charge attack
An elemental attack
A type of ultimate
Although the number of skills is manageable, Genshin Impact is said to play quickly and dynamically – unlike Zelda, with which it is often compared. Additionally, there’s a combo system where other players can benefit from your elemental attack.
If you also enjoy playing different characters, you have the opportunity here: You can form a team of 4 created characters, which you can switch between directly in the game without a loading screen, bringing variety to the gameplay and sometimes even necessary, as some enemies have different weaknesses against elements.
The only challenge at the beginning is the stamina bar, which is needed for swimming and climbing. It is relatively small at the start.
In combat with the bow, you need to aim accurately with your charge attack.
Despite crossplay, it rarely feels mobile: Although Genshin Impact is released for PC, PS4, and mobile, it feels like a full-fledged PC game. It looks graphically stunning and offers exciting battles.
Even in terms of funding, the RPG adheres more to a model as known from free-to-play games on PC:
You can experience all game content for free
The shop primarily offers cosmetic content and no gameplay advantages.
However, some characters are not available at the beginning. You need to unlock them through loot boxes, which you can earn or buy. These boxes contain both characters and items. It can therefore take quite a while until you get your desired character.
An MMORPG for players who prefer to go solo
Pros
Beautiful anime game world with hidden content to discover
Action-packed combat system with a lot of dynamics
Diverse tasks
A crafting system
Reminds of an MMORPG due to dungeons and daily quests
Completely free to play
Cons
Co-op unlocks only at level 16
Partially very grindy
Very simple story
Equipment is dependent on luck
Some characters are locked behind loot boxes
Genshin Impact is a beautiful RPG that can be experienced solo or with friends. It offers diverse tasks and content that strongly resembles an MMORPG. They are particularly fun because the movement and combat system are well done.
As in an MMORPG, you will, however, need to grind in some places – unfortunately, also for the story’s progress. Additionally, you will need luck to get the best equipment.
Nevertheless, Genshin Impact sounds like a game that RPG fans should definitely check out. It also appeals to fans of MMORPGs, even though the multiplayer content is unlocked only at level 16. Since the game is free, it is certainly worth trying out.
How much can you really collect in World of Warcraft? This Paladin knows it, as he has almost everything there is in the game – and that is a huge amount.
In World of Warcraft, there are some collecting enthusiasts. Some focus on mounts, others on battle pets, and still others on transmog items or toys. After all, Azeroth is full of various objects that can be collected. Yet one of these collectors has outdone them all, as hardly anyone has as many items in the game as Haru. His collection comprises an impressive 99.44% of all items that a Paladin can use.
What does Haru collect? This is easily described – namely everything. At least everything he can carry or use with his Paladin. So, all plate items, toys, mounts, pets, and achievements. However, things that he cannot “collect” properly are not taken into account – such as cloth gear, weapons that a Paladin cannot use, or mounts that are only suitable for certain classes.
So, who among you has such an impressive collection?
What does this mean in clear numbers? For those who prefer direct numbers, these data can give a rough idea of what he has collected. At the time of the interview with Icy Veins on September 8, Haru owned:
544 out of 546 possible toys
473 out of 501 possible mounts
1170 out of 1177 possible battle pets
12550 out of 12616 possible loot items from dungeons and raids
Accordingly, his wardrobe is also quite full, as Haru’s collection for transmogification is also packed. In some categories, he owns even everything there is – such as bracers, gloves, pants, shoes, and enchantments.
299 Followers in the Garrison – Collected over 5 Years
What is he particularly proud of? Of a collection that only a few players even know about or track – followers in the Garrison from Warlords of Draenor. He has collected all 299 followers that are possible. That is quite enduring, since only one new follower can be recruited through the tavern each week.
And before you ask: Yes, he has also leveled every single follower and equipped them with the best possible gear.
299 followers – there are no new ones for Haru anymore.
What addon does Haru use? Haru uses, like many other collectors, the interface addon “ALL THE THINGS”. It lists all collectible categories clearly and shows all objects from World of Warcraft that can still be collected. It usually also provides the locations or displays hints when an item, although it exists in the game’s data, is not actually obtainable. We have already presented ALL THE THINGS in the past, as Cortyn also swears by it.
By the way, Haru needs to hurry, as the new expansion Shadowlands will be released soon. Then the collection is likely to grow again – as there are many new items.
What do you think of this collection? A cool, impressive achievement? Or a gigantic waste of time? What percentage does your collection reach?

The former Overwatch pro Daniel “Dafran” Francesca has given up his career in gaming and streaming on Twitch and has found his calling as a farmer. He apparently had this in mind for quite some time. A post on Instagram reveals that he is pursuing his dream and is already working as an intern.
Who is Dafran? The former eSports professional is best known from his time in Overwatch. He played in the Overwatch League for the Atlanta Reign team and was regarded, similar to xQc, as one of the players with the best mechanical skill, but also as a hothead.
Dafran ended his Overwatch career, to prefer streaming on Twitch and chilling. The life of a pro did not seem appealing to him, and he preferred to entertain his community.
He seemed not to be particularly satisfied with his life and announced in June 2020 that he no longer wanted to be a full-time streamer. He preferred to grow fruits and vegetables (via TwitLonger).
From Overwatch Pro to Farmer
This is how Dafran is doing now: In a post by the Danish organic farmer Økotopen on Instagram, Dafran is seen wearing a black shirt from the company and gardening gloves while pushing a wheelbarrow full of soil. He looks quite satisfied.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CE4Bbxahrqu/
The accompanying text states that Dafran currently shows up at the farm several times a week and is currently working as an intern there. He wants to earn a living by growing organic vegetables.
He himself says: “It is simply wonderful to be able to go outside every day.” Although he is not yet a farmer, his employer is confident that he will reach his goal.
Not an isolated case: Dafran is not the first and only e-sports athlete to step back from his profession and return to nature. The Swede Simon “snillo” Ekström took a break from the Overwatch League in March, to collect mushrooms together with his grandmother in the forest.
Apparently, working in nature is a good balance to the rather stressful daily life of a pro gamer.

Anyone who has played the story of Red Dead Redemption 2 will likely have many negative feelings towards Micah. A discovery from the community casts an even worse light on the vile cowboy.
What was found? Time and again, discoveries from the story of Red Dead Redemption 2 come up as a topic in the community. This find is quite dark and seems to be a secret that many did not know before. Because it is hidden.
The reddit user NarneX2 shared interesting information about Micah’s hideout that many were unaware of. The hideout is a small camp on the snowy Mount Hagen. A key scene unfolds here featuring the probably meanest cowboy from RDR 2, Micah.
Right next to it, in a locked wooden toilet shed, the player discovered a surprise. A frozen corpse is in the cabin. With his binoculars, the player looked through the holes in the wood and saw a few details that he recorded on video.
We are embedding the reddit video here:

What can be seen? Admittedly, it is difficult to see what is in the cabin in the video. Other players felt the same and investigated further. The reddit user omithashtad used mods to take a closer look into the wooden shack.
Here one can see a person, presumably a man. He is holding something like a crutch in his hand. On his right thigh is a piece of wood that could function as a kind of splint. The face is not recognizable, making it difficult to determine who this person is.
It could also be the resident to whom the camp belonged before being taken over by Micah. Possibly, the cowboys locked the resident there and left him to freeze. This theory makes the already hated cowboy Micah look even worse.
reddit user Prince_Jackalope suspects: “Knowing Micah, he probably discovered him and decided to leave him there as a trophy.”
Others hope that it is simply Micah himself.
Why is Micah so hated? Warning, strong story spoilers follow now.
Throughout the story of Red Dead Redemption 2, players develop increasing aversion towards Micah.
Right in one of the first scenes, Micah instills even more fear in a panicking woman. The woman is Sadie Adler, who just lost her husband.
Micah behaves racially towards his own gang members.
In the epilogue, it turns out that Micah wanted to kill a little girl.
Micah presumably killed Jack Marston’s dog, as his tone suggests with the reply “he probably ran away.”
The key scene at the end of the main story reveals much about Micah’s character. In both possible endings, Micah kills or fights a damn sick, unarmed Arthur. This highlights how little honor Micah possesses.
What do you think, who is the person in the toilet shed?
In Pokémon GO, the last raid hour with the legendary Pokémon Heatran starts this evening, on September 9th. Anyone who hasn’t caught the monster yet should take this opportunity.
When does the raid hour start? The raid hour starts as usual at 6 PM and runs until 7 PM. During this time, Heatran will appear more frequently in level 5 raid battles.
Players who do not yet have Heatran in their ranks or who still urgently want to gather candies for the legendary monster should certainly join the raid hour. From Thursday, September 10th at 10 PM, Heatran will be replaced by Cresselia as a level 5 boss in the raids and will not be available again for a while.
How strong is Heatran?
How useful is Heatran: Heatran is generally considered a solid fire attacker, but there are significantly stronger candidates. However, Heatran’s stats are not bad:
Attack value: 251
Defense value: 213
HP value: 209
