CoD Warzone: How to unlock the OP attachment for the R9-0

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 3 minutes

A new attachment for the shotgun R9-0 is currently considered very strong in Call of Duty: Warzone: the Dragon’s Breath ammunition. MeinMMO tells you how to easily unlock this attachment and how to avoid potential issues.

What kind of attachment is this? The Dragon’s Breath ammunition was introduced with the big “Season 5 Reloaded” update for Warzone and Modern Warfare. It replaces the regular shotgun ammunition for the R9-0 with incendiary rounds.

These ignite your opponents and cause additional fire damage after the initial bullet damage, similar to thermite. This makes the weapon suddenly a top choice and the best shotgun for Warzone.

The R9-0 is even the best weapon in close combat with the Dragon’s Breath ammunition and has hardly any notable competition up to 8.5 meters. However, you need to unlock the corresponding attachment first.

How do I unlock the ammunition? There are two ways to obtain the Dragon’s Breath ammunition:

  • you can buy the “Nikto Firestarter” bundle in the shop
  • or you complete a challenge
CoD MW Warzone nikto Firestarter bundle
This is the bundle with the Dragon’s Breath R9-0.

The bundle is an operator bundle and costs 2000 CoD Points (approximately 20 €) and includes the “Krakatau” blueprint for the R9-0, which contains the ammunition. If you prefer to save money, you can complete the challenge for free.

Unlocking Dragon’s Breath through Challenge – Here’s How

This is what you need to do: The goal of the task is to achieve 10 kills with the R9-0 while sliding. This is relatively easy to do, as the shotgun is one of the few one-shot weapons in the game. It can kill with just one shot, at least in multiplayer. In Warzone, you need both shots from the chambers (“Double Tap”).

In Battle Royale, it can be somewhat challenging to get the kills. It’s best to play Plunder and visit locations where a lot of players tend to gather, such as the Superstore, train stations, or the stadium.

If you own Multiplayer, you should join the “Shoot or Ship, Whatever” playlist. Here you play the fast and close maps Shoot House and Shipment. Particularly on Shipment, you should be able to quickly rack up kills, probably even in just one round.

Shipment is tight and chaotic – ideal for many quick kills with the R9-0.

What if it bugs? If your progress isn’t being counted, there can be several reasons. Try the following troubleshooting steps:

  • use the weapon without blueprints and attachments, i.e., “naked”
  • try different attachments if that doesn’t work – some players report that it only works for them in certain setups that differ
  • fully eliminate opponents in Warzone, just downing them apparently isn’t enough. Slide while doing the finishing shot as well as when killing

You can particularly easily complete the challenge if you play with one or more friends. In that case, try to lure opponents into a trap for your challenge. There’s a trick to completely block doors to cut off opponents’ paths and lure them right in front of your weapon.

FIFA 21: Leak shows what the new pack animations look like

Julian Schröder Julian Schröder Reading time 2 minutes

In just under a month, FIFA 21 will be released, but leaks about Ultimate Team have already surfaced, showing the new pack animations.

In FIFA 21 Ultimate Team, packs will ideally be opened in abundance with as many walkouts as possible. What’s exciting is how the new pack animations look and what clues to pay attention to this time in order to identify strong cards early.

Various leaks now show supposed FIFA 21 pack animations. We at MeinMMO have taken a look at them.

This is what the new pack animations might look like

Where do the leaks come from? In recent weeks, there seems to have been a closed beta phase for FIFA 21. It’s not clear who had access and who spread the leaks.

If you search for pack openings for FIFA 21 on YouTube, you’ll find several results. Including this video:

https://youtu.be/gqYwwDQePyQ

It’s surprising that this video has been online for a few days and hasn’t been taken offline yet.

What can be seen in the videos? In the various videos, FUT 21 packs are opened in succession. Including different “Ultimate Packs” as well as an “Ultimate TOTW Pack”.

What’s exciting are the supposedly new animations, which strongly resemble FUT 20. Because there too, you went through a tunnel to the best card of the pack. The better the card, the longer the path through the tunnel. Really strong cards awaited the FUT players in the stadium.

This seems to be quite similar in FIFA 21 if you look at the leaks. Here too, the sequence of the pack animation is almost identical to FIFA 20. The only difference lies in the presentation. There are new effects and the tunnel as well as the stadium are designed differently.

Additionally, some ratings of various players can be seen, which still seem to be based on the values from FIFA 20.

FIFA 21 Mbappe Portrait Player
Mbappe is likely to be a very strong walkout in FIFA 21

How to recognize strong cards? A first clue for a walkout in FUT 21 seems to be the vertical lights on the left side of the door. Before it opens, there are 3 lights visible on the left. However, for a walkout, the third light does not light up.

In contrast to weaker cards, because all 3 lights always light up there.

Are the leaks authentic? Whether these leaks actually represent the real pack animations from FIFA 21 can’t be said for sure. However, they definitely look realistic. If it’s a fake, then it would be a pretty elaborate one.

What do you think? Are these pack animations real? And how do you like them? We are excited for FIFA 21 and looking forward to the innovations.

The Division 2 will soon receive 3 new Exotics and they all look promising

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 5 minutes

The Division 2 has now introduced new Exotics that will come into the game with Title Update 11. And so far, they all look quite promising. We explain what these Exotics can do and how to get them.

New information about The Division 2: Many players have been waiting for this. After the last dev streams offered hardly any really interesting information about the future of The Division 2, the developers at Massive finally held a State of The Game on September 2 that had a lot to offer.

Not only were there many official details about the highly anticipated skyscraper mode “The Summit”, but Massive also talked about new gear, including 3 new Exotics.

These are the new Exotics from TU11

What is special about the new Exotics? Overall, Massive has introduced 3 new exotic items that are intended to expand the current exotic arsenal of the base game and the exotic palette from Warlords of New York with the release of Title Update 11.

And the Exotics have been well received in the first reactions from the community and experts. Many find them exciting and very promising. Some already consider them among the best Exotics in the game, provided they survive the upcoming test servers in their current state. But let’s take a closer look at them now.

The Backfire Submachine Gun (Backfire SMG)

The Backfire is the only exotic weapon from TU11. Its appearance resembles the iconic MP “The House” from The Division 1, but it is likely to score points with more than just nostalgia.

What can this Exotic do? The exotic talent of the Backfire is called Payment in Kind.

  • If you deal damage to an enemy with the weapon, you gain a stack of +1% Critical Hit Damage. Stacks last for 10 seconds each and can be stacked up to 200.
  • So you can raise your crit damage to 200% on your own. But it doesn’t come without a drawback.
  • When you reload, you will be afflicted with the bleeding status effect for 10 seconds, causing you 0.5% armor damage per crit stack.
  • This tick damage scales with the number of crit stacks achieved. 200 stacks will destroy 100% of your armor.
  • Hazard Protection helps mitigate this damage.

How do you get this Exotic? It’s relatively simple. You will receive this Exo as a reward through the Season Pass of the upcoming Season 3.

The Memento Backpack (Memento Backpack)

The cool backpack is already being predicted by some agents as a potential “best in slot” item that could be useful for many builds. Hunter fans are probably drooling over this one. The backpack carries 2 Hunter axes and numerous SHD watches from Division agents, who like to wear the mysterious Hunters as trophies.

What can this Exotic do? The exotic talent of the Memento is called Kill Confirmed.

  • When you kill an enemy, they drop a trophy that you can collect. Collecting it grants you a temporary and a long-term buff.
  • The temporary buff scales with the number of core attributes equipped in your gear and grants you for 10 seconds
    • Per red attribute: +5% weapon damage (+30% if all 6 are red)
    • Per blue attribute: +20% bonus armor (+120% if all 6 are blue)
    • Per yellow attribute: +5% skill effectiveness (+30% if all 6 are yellow)
  • By the way, the backpack itself rolls with all 3 core attributes.
  • The long-term buff lasts for 5 minutes. For each trophy you collect, you gain a stack of:
    • +1% weapon damage
    • +1% skill efficiency
    • +0.1% armor regeneration
  • The maximum here is 30 stacks.
  • Skill efficiency is a new attribute similar to weapon handling. It affects a whole range of things. 1% skill efficiency corresponds to
    • +1% skill damage
    • +1% skill haste
    • +1% skill repair
    • +1% on status effects
    • +1% skill health

How do you get this Exotic? Unfortunately, the method of acquiring the Memento backpack is not currently known.

The “Ridgeway’s Pride” Chest Piece (Ridgeway’s Pride Chest)

This new chest piece may look understated, but it has a significant impact for melee fighters.

What can this Exotic do? The exotic talent here is called Bleeding Edge.

  • If you deal damage to enemies within a radius of 10 meters, the target is afflicted with the bleeding status effect.
  • This applies to all enemies you shoot within the 10 meters.
  • 1% – 25% of your armor is repaired based on the number of enemies within the 10 meters that are bleeding.
  • The values stack as follows:
    • 1 enemy – 1%
    • 2 enemies – 4%
    • 3 enemies – 9%
    • 4 enemies – 15%
    • 5 enemies – 25%
  • This Exotic has good synergy possibilities with shotguns and SMGs, as well as with the new “Hunter’s Fury” gear set (also new with TU11), which allows you to regenerate armor and health when you kill an enemy.

How do you get this Exotic? This chest piece is tied to a quest that you unlock when you master the top floor of the skyscraper in Summit mode. There are currently no details about the quest itself, but after completing it, you will be able to craft the new Exo according to Massive.

Here’s a compact preview analysis of the new Exotics in video form:

What do you think of these 3 new Exotics so far? Do they sound exciting and make you want more? Or can you absolutely not relate to them? By the way, with TU11, something else is set to come to the game: The Division 2 will soon get a transmog system – this is what it can do, here’s how it works

Fortnite pros use a trick for infinite superpowers of Marvel heroes

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

The superpowers of Marvel heroes in Season 4 of Fortnite are really strong. In fact, they have a cooldown. But pros use tricks to utilize the powers almost infinitely.

What is it about? Since the start of Season 4, Fortnite has been under the sign of Marvel heroes. Here and there, you will find abilities that directly affect gameplay. These include Doctor Doom’s Mystical Bomb or the Bramble Shield from Groot.

These abilities are already really strong, but through a trick, they are now even stronger. Normally, these special abilities have a cooldown of about 15 to 20 seconds. After use, you have to wait a bit before you can use the ability again. However, players have discovered that the cooldown only applies to the respective player and not to the item. This led to the emergence of a tactic.

Trick or exploit? How players use the superpowers

How does it work? This trick only works in Duos, Trios, or Squads. As a solo player, you cannot do this.

One player uses the ability, triggering a 20-second cooldown. They then drop it so that a teammate can pick it up. This teammate can now use it without cooldown. Once the cooldown for the first player is over, they use it again.

Fortnite baby groot title

Doctor Doom’s Mystic Bomb actually has a 20-second cooldown. With 3 players in a group, you can drop 3 bombs in those 20 seconds instead of just one. Each player has their own cooldown on the item. You can find all bosses and their special abilities here in Fortnite.

As Dexerto reports, professional players like Clix, MackWood, and Calc use this tactic in matches against other pros and in public lobbies.

This is what it looks like: A YouTube video by Daily Clips Central discusses this tactic. Right at the start, you see the item swapping and the new tactic. The bombs fly towards the opponents in rapid succession. With good rotation and enough players on the team, the use of abilities is practically infinite.

At about 5 minutes and 17 seconds, a clip featuring the trio comes back again.

What is the problem? There is uncertainty about whether Fortnite actually intended this tactic or if the items themselves should have a cooldown and not the players.

So it remains to be seen whether Epic Games will bring a fix in the coming days and neutralize this tactic, or if this will become a foundation for upcoming professional tournaments and team matches.

No desire for tricks? Then grab a new look legally now. You can find the cool rare skins from Season 4 here in Fortnite.

Helltaker delivers you the best 60 minutes you can get on Steam this week

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 4 minutes

Cortyn has fallen in love with a short but quite crisp game. There are demon girls, tough puzzles, and witty dialogues.

You surely know this too. You look at your own Steam library of games, which has grown so long that you want to sink into the ground out of shame. So you muster the resolve to play at least one of these games – that’s exactly what I did, and I did not regret it. But that’s hardly surprising, as “Helltaker” is about “Demon Girls”, challenging puzzles, and a touch of visual novel – and it’s free too. What better combination could there be?

What is Helltaker about? The “story” of Helltaker is simple and quickly explained. The protagonist wakes up one morning filled with a dream. He has one goal: a harem full of “Demon Girls”. While that is not an easy goal, what is easy in life? So he sets off into hell to collect the demon girls and turn the dream into reality. Yes, that’s the plot. Really.

Helltaker Wake Up
Is more needed to start a story?

What does the gameplay look like? The actual game consists of several puzzles. Each level is its own puzzle, in which you have only a limited number of moves to reach the respective demon girl. Barriers like rocks, skeleton warriors, or the need to pick up a key first create quite challenging brain teasers.

On the left is the number of remaining moves. With “L” you get great “life tips” from the ladies.

Once you have finally solved the puzzle, a small dialogue with the respective demon lady of the corresponding level follows. This somewhat resembles visual novels or Japanese dating games. The ladies usually do not join the “Helltaker” to please him, but because they want to see how he later fails with his plans or pursue their own goals.

Modeus only joins us because she wants to see how we will end up getting torn apart by the demon girls …

The dialogues are quite humorously written, but they also have a nasty game mechanic. If you do not convince the hellish women with the right answers, you will be killed by them. This means that you have to repeat the previous puzzle. This is particularly frustrating when you cracked the puzzle just by “wild guessing” – but hey, no one would do that, right?

At any time, you can also ask the ladies you have collected for “important life tips”. While they only help slightly with solving the puzzles, they provide entertaining additional dialogues between the various characters and give them a bit more personality. When “Modeus, the lustful demon” tells me upon request: “A tip? That’s easy. Skip all the puzzles, collect all the girls and let’s finally move on to real harem activities” – then some may find it disturbing, but I found it immensely funny and fitting.

Cortyn has a penchant for rather unusual games:

– Creepy psychological horror in Doki Doki Literature Club
– Crazy point-and-click soul game with Pony Island
– Dramatic storyline (with succubus) in Juniper’s Knot

Why is it free? The developer has made the game available for free on Steam. If you enjoyed the game, you should consider buying the “external bonus content” – these are artworks and a pancake recipe. That’s the only way the game’s developer makes money.

https://youtu.be/TzJW3OUSxKs

How long does Helltaker take? Helltaker doesn’t actually consume much of your time. My first run took about 90 minutes, during which I did not unlock all the achievements and also missed some of the dialogues. However, I also had the ambition to solve all the puzzles without a guide, which surely gave me a grey hair or two. Those who are more skilled at solving puzzles than I am (or simply skip tough puzzles in the menu) will probably get through even faster.

Do you have 60 minutes to fill with good entertainment? Then download Helltaker on Steam. It’s free and at least gave me the best 60 minutes of this week – but also a catchy tune from the damn great soundtrack that I just can’t shake off …

If you prefer to play cooperatively with a friend, we recommend a few other games.

Best player left Overwatch for Valorant – Here’s how it’s going for him now

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

Jay “Sinatraa” Won switched from being a professional player in the Overwatch League to the new competitor Valorant some time ago. He seems to be doing quite well now. He has already won two tournaments with his team, which is now ranked 3rd among the most successful Valorant teams.

Who is the player? Sinatraa is one of the youngest professionals who has played in the Overwatch League (currently 20 years old). He even had to sit on the sidelines for a while because he hadn’t reached the minimum age at that time. In the league, he played for the San Francisco Shock and was regarded as the best player in the league with two MVP titles.

In May, however, Sinatraa switched from Overwatch to Valorant, which was still in beta at that time. Blizzard was disappointed with the decision but could understand it.

There have already been several tournaments in Valorant, many from the community and other organizers, but also official ones. In them, Sinatraa now plays for the team Sentinels, which he co-founded, and celebrates several successes with them.

Overwatch League Sinatraa Interview

Two Tournament Victories, Third Most Successful Team

This is how Sinatraa and the Sentinels are doing: After a rather weak start, the Sentinels won their first Ignition Series in July, the official tournaments hosted by Valorant developer Riot. There, they defeated the eSports veteran Cloud 9 with 3:1 and won $10,000.

Subsequently, there was another victory against Team SoloMid in the Summer Cup of another organization and a second place at the FaZe Clan Invitational in early August. Most recently, the Sentinels secured first place in the Pop Flash on August 30th, winning $25,000.

The team is currently ranked third among the most successful Valorant teams, behind Team SoloMid and G2 Esports, the “Real Madrid” of eSports (via liquipedia). Both are teams that originally gained fame in the LoL sector.

These are the currently 10 most successful teams in September.

The Sentinels have already earned $54,000. However, Sinatraa himself stated that while he earns less salary in Valorant, he can overall earn more than in Overwatch.

What does the future look like? The tournaments of Valorant are slowly ramping up and more teams are participating. However, this has also led to some unpleasant events, such as obviously cheating pros in tournaments, who are quickly removed as well.

Several tournaments are already planned for the coming weeks and months, most of which are qualifier tournaments where new teams can qualify for promotion to the professional leagues. Meanwhile, the hype surrounding Valorant is somewhat decreasing. After the strong start on Twitch during the beta, Valorant has now recorded a significant drop on Twitch.

Gaming chair costs $1,445 and is still a hit – What makes it so special?

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 3 minutes

The American furniture manufacturer Herman Miller is known for its ergonomic chairs. The company is now focusing more on the gaming market and announces a new version of Aeron, one of the most well-known office chairs. Although the chair is not cheap, it is already being used by gamers.

What kind of chair is this? The Aeron was first introduced in 1994 and was primarily intended for offices. Today, the chair can be found in many places, as Tim Straker, the company’s Marketing Chief, disclosed in a press release:

Aeron is one of, if not the most versatile chair ever designed, and we’ve seen it used everywhere from professional athletes’ locker rooms to sports studios and recording studios – it even resides in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

Now, the Aeron is being launched in a special edition for gamers. It is available in several versions, with the cheapest priced at $1,445.

The Aeron is also not the first gaming chair from the company. In July, we reported on a collaboration between Herman Miller and Logitech that produced a “1,500 dollar” chair.

Herman Miller Aeron
This is what the new Aeron for gamers looks like (via Herman Miller)

Ergonomics and decades of experience are supposed to make the difference

What makes the chair so expensive? While the new Aeron costs a lot of money, it is also supposed to offer a lot:

  • Powerful ergonomics. The backrest is divided into 8 zones, each with different tension.
  • Different specifications during manufacturing to perfectly adjust the chair to the size and body structure of the sitter.
  • Fully adjustable armrests.
  • The seat has a special ventilation system to dissipate body heat and water vapor.

The chair is delivered fully assembled and requires no assembly. Additionally, there is a 12-year warranty with 24-hour use. The chair will be available starting from September 14. It can already be pre-ordered on the official website.

Aeron Gaming Chair
This is how the chair adapts to your body.

How is the chair received in tests?

  • The website Compare Before Buying praises the office version of the Aeron as a premium product with high ergonomics and top quality.
  • The website Gaming Scan also gives the office version a 4.8 out of 5 in their rating. Although the price is high, they clearly recommend the chair and see it as an investment in a healthy future when spending a lot of time at the computer.

Are these chairs really popular among gamers? When thinking of gaming chairs, models from DX Racer or Noblechairs often come to mind. They are not cheap, with some costing up to 600 euros, but they are in a different price segment than the Aeron.

However, as Tim Straker explains, the chairs from Herman Miller are also popular among gamers:

When we started researching how we could help meet the needs of the gaming community, we found that many of our existing chairs were already favorites among some gamers and teams: We came across countless positive reviews from gamers about the Aeron.

In addition to the Aeron, more chairs in a special version for gamers are set to be released this fall.

LoL Louis Vuitton Sneaker

Alongside Herman Miller, other well-known brands are also developing products specifically for gamers. For instance, Nike is currently working on a “gamer shoe”.

The famous brand Louis Vuitton has also reached out to the gaming community. In 2019, there was a large collaboration with Riot Games that produced t-shirts, handbags, skirts, and also the sneaker shown above. Much of this was quickly sold out, despite prices over 1,000 dollars.

WoW Classic: New Record – This realm has a proud 90 Scarab Lords

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

90 black Qiraj War Tanks on a single realm in WoW Classic? The Russians have done it – breaking records.

Just a few days ago, we reported on a special realm in World of Warcraft Classic. On Fairbanks there were proudly 49 Scarab Lords on one server – an extremely large number. But a Russian realm thought “Challenge Accepted” and immediately buried that record, nearly doubling the number. A total of 90 Scarab Lords are now on the Russian realm Flamegor.

Why is it so hard? To become a Scarab Lord in WoW Classic, you must complete a pretty long quest line. It’s virtually impossible alone; you need the help of a guild or many friends. After all, thousands of items need to be farmed, and several raids need to be mastered, during which unique items need to be distributed to the right players.

WoW Classic Many Qiraji Mounts
So many Scarab Lords are rarely seen in one place – and this is just part of the realm. Source: wowhead

In addition, there is massive time pressure. Because as soon as the first player has completed the quest line, the clock is ticking for all other players. Only 10 hours remain to complete the quest and get the black Qiraj War Tank – the perhaps most exclusive mount in the entire game.

How did they do it? Many of the large guilds had already made a pact before the event started. To give many players enough time to complete everything necessary, they held back on resource submissions.

Only from August 12 did all participating guilds plan to submit the resources for the war efforts to the NPCs. Even that was not enough, so the war efforts were completed only on August 16. This extra time was used by even more players to prepare for the event. Other realms had concluded the event already on day 1.

Especially cool: One player even secured his mount for the second time. Once nearly 15 years ago in Vanilla WoW and once now in Classic.

Wow Classic Person with 2 mounts
This player became Scarab Lord 2 times. Once in Vanilla and once in Classic. Source: wowhead

Attempts to sabotage were made by some guilds with a rather bad reputation on the realm, which are said to be involved in real money sales and keep throwing obstacles in the players’ paths. However, since Flamegor is still a realm with layers, this problem could be overcome with enough patience.

Most Successful Realm in WoW History? Flamegor is likely the first and probably the only realm for a long time where there are 90 players with the most sought-after mount in the history of World of Warcraft. While there are still a few realms where the war efforts have not yet been completed, it is rather unlikely that they can provide such a massive number of players with mounts.

On other realms, cooperation went differently. Players have teamed up to ruin a guild’s big debut.

What do you think of this achievement? Cool and a great sign of collaboration? Or is it somehow cheating with agreements?

This new coop on Steam is ideal for players who only want tough boss fights

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 3 minutes

Cellyon: Boss Confrontation brings you directly to boss fights, as you know them from MMORPGs. However, leveling, farming, and other time wasters are eliminated. We show you the Steam game.

What kind of game is this? Cellyon forgoes the open world that you know from MMORPGs. Additionally, there is no economy, you don’t have to level your character and you don’t farm resources. The focus is on the boss fights that this co-op game concentrates on. And we all have fights that have stayed in our memory.

The fights are designed to last 5 to 10 minutes and challenge your skills.

The battles have been designed to remind you of the boss fights that exist in MMORPGs. It is about movement that you must use to dodge or special tactics to take down the boss.

The developers write: “In Cellyon: Boss Confrontation, your reflexes, tactics, and teamwork are all that matters.”

How do the fights go?

Traditional roles: In the fights, tanks, healers, or DPS are needed. It is also possible to create hybrid classes. You can adjust your classes, which have a “wide selection of spells.” Before each boss fight, you can customize your build according to what you need for the upcoming battle.

The matchmaking: If your friends are not available, the matchmaking will assign you players who best match your talents. No one has to play alone here.

The leaderboard: Those who value a competitive environment can prove themselves on the leaderboard of Cellyon.

These skills are used by bosses: On the Steam page of Cellyon, the developers describe three bosses that you will encounter.

  • Skain: A swordsman and scientist who inflicts a poison on you during the fight, which you must cleanse with an antidote during the fight
  • EL-29 is a huge bomb on 4 mechanical legs. In the fight, you must prove movement skills and even defuse bombs to survive
  • Dumuzid is described as a wild beast or nightmare creature. In the fight, planar rifts appear that can help or damage you. A good overview will lead you to victory in this battle

Additional features: In the Boss Maker, you can create your own boss fights and share them with other players. You should have “full control” over the tool that the developers also use to design bosses. You can set goals, movements, the boss’s health, or the number of bosses yourself.

You can even specify the class(es) with which the bosses must be defeated.

Later, the game mode “The Rift” will be introduced. Here, two boss fights take place simultaneously, and the group that defeats the opponent first wins. With a special ability, you can invade the boss fight of the other group and set traps there.

When is the release? A release is planned for fall 2020 on PC.

You can find out more about Cellyon on the Steam page of the co-op game.

CoD Warzone: Glitch presumably shows the first images of the crazy night mode

In Call of Duty: Warzone, new modes are frequently introduced to spice up the battle royale. Due to a glitch, a player supposedly got a first glimpse of a night mode, which he immediately shared with the world.

What do the images look like? Right from the start of Season 4, speculations arose after a trailer that a night mode for Call of Duty: Warzone is planned. Now, there may be the first images of it, shared by the CoD news account “ModernWarzone” on Twitter:

They write: “A user sent us these images of something that looks like a first look at the night mode of Warzone. We let you decide whether the images are fake or real. The images did not come from internal sources or data.”

The scene shown is the opening scene of a BR match in Warzone, probably a duo match. However, the two soldiers are shrouded in darkness, even though normally a bright blue sky illuminates Verdansk.

How likely is a night mode? The chances are quite good. While sifting through the data from the “Season 5 Reloaded” update, data miners found strong hints at a “Nightfall” mode. The relevant tweet from the data miner has already disappeared, but the internet does not forget.

Together with the latest experiences of some users, a night mode is therefore quite likely. Following the discussion on Twitter about the new images, you’ll find even more players who have already experienced the same strange entry experience. The matches then ran quite normally, only the beginning during the jump offered the night view:

After some feedback, the operators behind ModernWarzone are also convinced: “Authenticity confirmed. The same user has experienced this multiple times during loading [of the match].”

At least the images are presumably real. When and whether a night mode will come remains to be seen.

What special modes have there been so far? Warzone relies on 2 modes – Battle Royale and Plunder. In addition, CoD occasionally offers matches with special rules. So far, there have been:

  • Classic BR – Battle Royale without the Warzone fluff like revives or custom loadouts
  • 200-player BR – More players, more action. A Battle Royale with 200 instead of 150 players
  • Juggernaut BR – Each match provides players with some Juggernaut suits, with OP armor Mini-Gun
  • Mini Royale – Only the first and last 5 minutes of a typical Warzone round
  • Realism BR – Low HUD, few game hints, and significantly reduced health points
  • Team Rumble – Not BR, but a large team deathmatch with two large teams
  • King Slayer – TDM with BR teams, eliminate players with the most kills for more points

Many of these modes were a welcome change, and some were really strong. MeinMMO author Maik Schneider liked the Mini Royale the most, as it brought the flair of “Shoot House” & “Shipment” into Warzone. Which of the crazy modes were your favorites?

The Division 2 presents Summit – The mode on which so many hopes rest

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 5 minutes

The developers of The Division 2 have finally granted first insights into the new mode “The Summit”. We summarize all known information about the upcoming battle through the skyscraper for you.

Many have been waiting for this: As announced, September 2nd was the day. Massive finally broke the silence and presented the already hinted new mode. The format previously known as Skyscraper is officially called The Summit and will be included in the game with Title Update 11 (TU11).

For some players, this new content is the last straw they cling to, hoping that The Division 2 could still turn things around and finally offer more replay value and long-term motivation.

Accordingly, many agents are eager to finally learn more about The Summit. Here are all the important details.

The Division Header

By the way, new Exotics have also been introduced: The Division 2 will soon get 3 new Exotics and they all look promising

And the first can play The Summit starting September 4.

Everything we know so far about The Summit

In the State of The Game on 02.09, there was a lot of information about the summit mode.

What is behind Summit? As Massive announced, Summit has been developed as a replayable PvE mode. When you jump in, you should be offered an action-packed experience that is different with every run. In principle, The Summit is a kind of “Greatest Hits” of all PvE experiences that have existed in The Division so far.

The mode is apparently supposed to do exactly what many players hope for: to bring more replay value and long-term motivation to The Division 2.

When is The Summit supposed to be released? The Summit is expected to be included in the game with TU11. However, there is no exact release date yet. But many speculate that it could come as early as September.

Because on 04.09. Title Update 11 along with The Summit (in full!) will be playable on the test servers (PTS) – unfortunately only on PC. While there will be several test phases, the new update should typically also become available on the live servers shortly thereafter.

Who can play The Summit? Summit will come as a free update, but only for owners of the “Warlords of New York” expansion, since the mode takes place in a skyscraper in New York. Without the paid Warlords add-on, there will be no Summit mode.

And you will also have to forgo several other things: What does The Division 2 offer if you do not purchase the Warlords expansion?

What is included in Summit:

  • In The Summit, you start on the ground floor of a skyscraper and must fight your way up through a total of 100 floors.
  • All enemy factions will be represented in this mode.
  • A new experience will be offered each time. You never know who you will face on which floor during the current run.
  • The environment changes from floor to floor. There are dozens of floor sections with a predefined look.
  • The layout is determined when you reach the floor – including the faction represented there, spawn points, and, if applicable, the directive (a kind of modifier).
  • The environment is thus partially predetermined, but there are also numerous random elements.
  • There will be new and old tasks: for example, hostage rescue or destroying servers to deactivate the Warhounds.
  • 10 floors are roughly equivalent to the length of a Stronghold, i.e. a faction base. The amount of XP you earn in a 10-floor segment is also approximately the same as that of a Stronghold.
  • Targeted Loot is active in Summit as well. The assigned loot category applies to the entire skyscraper and is the same on all floors.
  • On your way up, you might encounter rogue agents (and maybe hunters) randomly.

How The Summit plays:

  • The mode starts as you approach the elevator on the ground floor.
  • If you are playing for the first time, you can initially only go to the 1st floor. From there on, you fight your way up floor by floor.
  • Every 10 floors, there is a kind of boss level or floor that unlocks a checkpoint at the end. For example, if you defeat the boss on floor 10, you unlock a checkpoint and can use the elevator to go directly to floor 11 next time. You don’t have to start at floor 1 every time.
  • On your way to the namesake summit, you will have to fight through various difficulty levels (normal, hard, challenging, heroic, legendary). The higher you go, the higher the difficulty.
  • Once you have unlocked a checkpoint, it remains active throughout.
  • The difficulty after the first successful run thus depends on you. Because once you have unlocked the checkpoint, you can freely select which checkpoint floors and, therefore, the respective difficulty via the elevator.
  • By the way, the global difficulty is ignored. In Summit, this is determined by the height of the floors.
  • Summit is designed in such a way that you can tackle and complete the mode solo. If you play in a group, the difficulty will scale accordingly – even the floors at legendary will scale with it.
  • After every boss defeated, you have the opportunity to return to the lobby.

Is there matchmaking? Yes, in The Summit there is a player search for different difficulty levels, which helps you find more players. You essentially select a difficulty and are then placed on the corresponding floor. By the way, you can also join friends on higher floors, even if you haven’t progressed that far yourself.

Are there exclusive rewards in The Summit? Yes, so far a new Exotic is known that will be exclusively available through the new mode – the “Ridgeway’s Pride” Chest. This chest piece will be tied to a quest that you unlock when you reach the last floor of the skyscraper. Once you complete the quest, you will be able to craft the new Exotic. More about this will be revealed soon in a separate article.

Here you can find gameplay and many details about The Summit in a compact video:

What do you think of the new skyscraper mode? Can it entice you to fire up The Division 2 again? Or is even this not enough to reactivate you as an agent?

In the shooter Destiny 2, players dispute unfair swords – What is the problem?

Philipp Hansen Philipp Hansen Reading time 4 minutes

In Destiny 2, swords are more popular than ever, but PvE and PvP players are debating the blade weapons.

Destiny 2 is a loot shooter and, as such, offers a wide variety of weapons for players to shoot nasty aliens in the face. The range includes wacky sci-fi blasters and repurposed monster body parts, as well as assault rifles and rocket launchers, down to rustic Western revolvers.

One category is particularly popular, but somewhat unusual for shooters: swords. Even though games like Doom also focus on melee weapons, the blades in Destiny work differently – triggering a small faith battle among players.

That’s why swords are so trendy: Swords have been experiencing a renaissance for some time. They have not been as popular as they are now in Season 11 since Destiny 1.

Daito Gear Season 11 Dungeon Arrival Arrival Title Destiny 2
The Falling Guillotine is the current trendiest sword in Destiny 2

All of this leads to many players firmly incorporating swords into their loadout. Yet, while PvE players rejoice over their super weapons, some PvP players would prefer to ban them completely.

A dispute ignites between PvE and PvP players

What’s the problem? In Destiny, swords also require ammunition. If this is missing, you’re just holding a sword handle without a blade. However, even without fuel, they can enable a complete game changer: with a sword in hand, you are not playing a first-person shooter, but you see everything from a third-person perspective – the camera moves behind the player.

This different viewpoint allows you to peek around corners or see a larger area of the world.

In the Crucible, some players deliberately switch to a sword to scout the surroundings. They ensure, for example, that no opponent is lurking in a corridor or relay information from a secure cover to the team.

This is what PvP players demand: This behavior is considered dishonorable or simply unfair by many. Therefore, the Guardians repeatedly demand that the third-person view be removed from PvP.

For many of the frustrated players, it would suffice if Bungie reworked swords so that they cannot be used without ammunition or that the perspective switch could not be executed in such a case.

The peeking from a third person ruins competitive game modes, and that’s garbage.

coltjen via reddit

With this, the user coltjen articulated the feelings of many annoyed PvP players from the Destiny subreddit. However, the demand “boiled over night” quite high. The post currently has over 6,700 upvotes, and in 870 comments, the Guardians are discussing. Because some Guardians from the PvE faction resist the ideas.

That’s why PvE players resist: In PvE, swords are not only a strong alternative for boss damage, but they also serve many players as a navigation aid.

Especially in tricky jumping sections (like in raids or exotic missions), it has become customary to switch to a sword and thus leave the limited view of the first-person shooter. This allows for much more precise jumps and better distance estimation.

Just because the blade has no ammunition, should we now forgo a function that has been standard for years in favor of PvP? That’s roughly how the complaints sound. Additionally, striking with the ammo-less sword handle can shorten many grind-heavy bounty runs.

Destiny Sword Screenshot
In PvE, swords are among the most popular weapons

What do you think? Interestingly, we were able to find parts of the discussion on MeinMMO just a few days ago:

  • Takumidoragon (via MeinMMO): “I find it much worse that I hear a sword in every second comp match before I see an opponent.”
  • KingK (via MeinMMO): “An empty sword is probably the rediscovered emote. Actually, the 3rd-person should have been removed from the game a long time ago. At least in PvP. In the case of the sword, it might be worth considering staying in the first-person perspective when it’s empty.”

A categorical distinction between the functionality of swords in PvE and PvP seems rather unlikely at the moment. This shows that even if the swords lose their perspective switch, emotes will still serve the same function. Thus, there would be no obstacle to “peeking around corners” with them.

Open Words: Destiny 2 presents plans against cheaters and for better trials
von Sven Galitzki

Not all PvP players are complaining about this by any means. Some say that these are legitimate tactics and set an experienced or alert player apart from other Guardians.

What is your stance on the issue? Do swords provide unfair advantages or are only the vocal proponents of two different factions arguing?

Pokémon GO: How important the Community Day in September will be with Porygon

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO, the details for the Community Day featuring Porygon in September are now known. We will tell you whether the event will be worth it this month.

This is known: The Community Day takes place on September 20th from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM local time. The following additional information is known:

  • Porygon is the focus and will appear as Shiny for the first time
  • Porygon-Z will learn the move Triple Attack
  • There will be triple XP for catching Pokémon
  • Incense lasts for 3 hours
  • There will be a special research task for about one Euro focused on Porygon

The Community Day takes place because you voted for the Pokémon in the poll in August.

All Information about the Community Day with Porygon

How good are the bonuses? This time there is triple catch XP, which is nice, but you can gain experience points faster through other means.

So if you want to reach level 40 or continue collecting XP, you should definitely take advantage of the event. In the end, however, you will not get as many XP as you would through friendships.

All in all, the XP bonus is not that strong. You won’t miss out on great bonuses if you don’t play for the full 6 hours.

Is Porygon worth it? The Pokémon should be exciting for all trainers, as it is not yet available as Shiny. You will all encounter a new Shiny. This event is therefore quite important for Shiny hunters.

Things will be different in October – as Charmander will be in the spotlight of the event and this Shiny already exists.

Shiny Porygon
This is what the Shiny family of Porygon looks like.

In battle, Porygon is not so interesting. It is a Normal-type Pokémon and therefore not effective against any type. The final evolution Porygon-Z is generally strong, but in comparison, it always performs worse than Pokémon of other types that can hit the opponent effectively.

What is known about the move? The move Triple Attack is completely new in Pokémon GO. Therefore, no information about the usability of the move can be provided yet.

It is a Normal-type move, so it will likely not be particularly useful in raids and gym battles. However, it could become a solid attack for the PvP mode. This remains to be seen.

How important will the Community Day be? For Shiny hunters, Porygon is quite interesting. However, if you have already collected some Shinys, you won’t miss anything from the event. The bonus is decent but not overwhelming, and the move will likely only appeal to PvP fans.

Perhaps there’s something interesting for you in the other events in September. A lot will be about Mega Evolutions in Pokémon GO.

WoW developers listen up: The hated GCD change is being reversed

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The WoW developers are removing one of the most annoying changes again. Many abilities are no longer affected by the global cooldown.

During the Battle for Azeroth expansion, the developers of World of Warcraft made some mistakes. One of the biggest was the change to the GCDs, the “Global Cooldowns” of many abilities. Many classes felt off as a result, having weird moments where they couldn’t do anything or felt useless. Some of this is now being reverted with Shadowlands and the Pre-Patch 9.0.

What was the problem? During BfA, Blizzard applied a global cooldown to many abilities that previously did not have one. Particularly powerful cooldowns, such as “Arcane Power” for Arcane Mages were triggered and caused the global cooldown of 1.5 seconds, during which no other spell could be cast.

WoW GM Shock humans angry titel title 1280x720
The changes caused a lot of criticism back then.

It was particularly frustrating when multiple strong spells were combined. Then it took several seconds just to cast buffs in sequence that could only take effect much later. This felt bad and was seen as unnecessary by many players.

What is changing: A whole range of abilities will lose their GCD again. This means that they can be activated and the next ability can be used without delay.

  • Death Knight: Pillar of Frost, Empower Rune Weapon
  • Druid: Berserk, Celestial Alignment, Incarnation: Chosen of Elune, Incarnation: King of the Kungle, Ravenous Frenzy
  • Hunter: Aspect of the Wild
  • Mage: Arcane Power, Icy Veins
  • Monk: Serenity
  • Paladin: Avenging Crusader, Avenging Wrath, Crusade, Holy Avenger
  • Priest: Spirit Shell
  • Rogue: Adrenaline Rush, Shadow Blades, Vendetta
  • Shaman: Ancestral Guidance
  • Warlock: Dark Soul: Instability, Dark Soul: Misery
  • Warrior: Avatar, Recklessness
WoW Night Elf Frown Game Master Yes titel title 1140x445
Are thumbs up again?

Why is Blizzard doing this? In a blog post, the developers explained their intent with the big cooldowns and why some of them work well while others do not. They give a positive example in the Void Eruption of the Shadow Priest. Here, both the animation, the visual effect, and the spell’s numbers speak for themselves. It feels good and here a GCD is indeed justified.

For other abilities that merely represent a buff and where the visual components and the direct effect of the ability do not come across positively, it would be unnecessary. Therefore, the cooldown of certain burst abilities will be removed again.

Do you think it’s good that Blizzard is finally reversing this? Or would you have preferred that the abilities instead received a revision to justify a GCD?

You won’t have to wait long for this change, as Shadowlands will be released in October.

Today, Battle Royale Spellbreak starts for free – You should try it out

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

Today, on September 3, 2020, the new Battle Royale Spellbreak officially starts. It is free for all players on PC, Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo Switch. We will show you what to look forward to.

What is Spellbreak? The Battle Royale comes from developer Proletariat and relies on magic instead of weapons. You fight on a gradually shrinking map and gather your loot needed for the battle. At gamescom 2020, the release date was officially announced.

Spellbreak was playable in beta over the past weeks, allowing some players to gain experience. Now the Battle Royale is completely free.

Spellbreak – A Battle Royale with Magic

These are the contents of Spellbreak: You play Spellbreak in a classic Battle Royale style. You can land anywhere on the huge map and must orient yourself by the circle that gradually shrinks. This forces you to encounter opponents sooner or later. Whoever survives last wins the round.

On the map, you will find gloves everywhere that you can equip. There are different types of gloves that provide you with different spells. Depending on the glove, you can unleash fire, ice, or electricity on your opponents. You can carry two different gloves at the same time, allowing you to launch different spells.

Spellbreak
Everywhere on the map, you find gloves that equip you with different abilities.

Besides your spells, you can also fly – at least temporarily. You can jump through the air, but you will invest energy in doing so, which you also need for casting spells. The energy recharges quickly, but in battle, you need every bit of free energy you can get.

In combat, you will need to act tactically. You can bombard your opponents with a firework of spells or alternatively attack from above, but then you will have less energy for the spells.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSmvbSFUDf8

Is the game worth it? The MeinMMO editors Noah Struthoff and Jürgen Horn have already tested Spellbreak in the beta. They saw a lot of potential in the game, as the mechanics are unique and casting spells is fun.

There was criticism regarding the fact that you mostly fought against very few opponents. Even though the map is designed for about 100 players, usually only 10-15 players participated per round.

However, this may change at release. After all, the beta was paid, and now the Battle Royale is completely free. So you can certainly expect more players.

It is definitely worth taking a look into the Battle Royale. After all, you don’t have to invest any money, and you can see for yourself how it is.

Where can you get Spellbreak? If you are playing on console, you just need to check the respective shop of your platform. There Spellbreak should be available for free download.

On PC, you can get Spellbreak through the Epic Games Store. There the Battle Royale will also be available for free at launch.

The game officially launches on September 3, 2020, at 4:00 PM German time.

It remains to be seen whether Spellbreak will develop into a small hit. If you are looking for alternatives, check out the MeinMMO list of the best Battle Royales on PC, Xbox One, and PS5.

The new class in Black Desert is quite unpopular, yet everyone plays it

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 3 minutes

In the MMORPG Black Desert, the new class Hashashin has been released. However, it has not fully convinced many players. Nevertheless, many want to play and level it up. The reason for this is the new season servers, which start on September 2.

What is going on with the Hashashin? The Hashashin was first mentioned back in May 2020. At that time, there was a picture that showed a muscular, dark-skinned man reminiscent of Prince of Persia. Since then, many players have eagerly awaited the release of the new class.

But despite the class looking really good in the first gameplay video and generating excitement for action-packed battles, it became clear for many with the release in Korea and on consoles that the Hashashin could not convince (via reddit):

But even though the Hashashin is so weak, many will play it. This is due to the new season server, which also started on September 2.

Season Servers and Rewards Make Hashashin Interesting

What is the deal with the server? The season servers first appeared this year and allow you to level a selected character faster and in a peaceful environment. Many of the season servers have no active PvP, making them especially interesting for newcomers.

Additionally, there is a season pass that brings you further rewards. There is both a free and a paid version.

At the end of the season, the characters will then be transferred to the normal servers and can be played as usual. You can find all the details on the season in Black Desert here.

von Alexander Leitsch

What does the season bring in autumn? The second season started on September 2. Those who reach a certain level during the season will receive the following bonuses:

  • Level 15 – 10 Gold Bars
  • Level 25 – 2x Traveler’s Maps
  • Level 35 – Buff Food
  • Level 45 – 2x Chests with Premium Elixirs and 2x Chests with High-Quality Medicines.
  • Level 55 – Kydicts Crystal – Adventure, Training Manual – Combat (3 hours) and Training Manual – Talent (3 hours)
  • Additionally, there is once again the Tuvala Equipment, which is particularly suitable for newcomers, and Perilla’s Star as additional rewards at the end of the season.
The new class Hashashin has a special event, and it’s worth leveling up.

At the same time, the Hashashin Ascension Event is running. And this is particularly interesting for many players. Because here, until September 23, substantial additional rewards can be earned:

  • Level 15 – 2x Gold Bars, 2 additional inventory slots, 3x Scrolls with Combat XP
  • Level 25 – 8x Gold Bars, 4x 2 additional inventory slots, 3x Scrolls with Talent XP
  • Level 35 – 1x Gold Bar, 5x Elion’s Tears, 5x Black Stone (Weapon), 5x Black Stone (Armor), 5x Scroll: Loot.
  • Level 45 – 2x Gold Bars, 10x Black Stone (Weapon), 10x Black Stone (Armor), 3x Sharp Black Crystal Shard, 3x Hard Black Crystal Shard, 1x Accessory Box: Asula
  • Level 55 – 6x Gold Bars, 1x Valks’ Advice +40, 1x Enhancing Kit II, 5x Blessed Scrolls

All these many rewards ensure that players create a Hashashin as a season character, even though it does not convince them. Some even say that they will play the new class up to level 55, collect the rewards, and delete it afterward to start a new season character. This is easily possible.

Black Desert is currently one of the most successful MMORPGs. We have compiled more successful titles that have been released in the last 5 years here for you from MeinMMO.

Survival shooter Scavengers shows new gameplay and reveals release details

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 2 minutes

The shooter Scavengers was announced in 2018 and presented at E3 2019 with a new trailer. Although initial play tests were already taking place behind the scenes, it had been quiet about the game for a long time. Now it returns with new gameplay and an approximate release date.

What kind of game is this? Scavengers is a multiplayer co-op shooter that combines many different genres. The game is a mix of battle royale, hero shooter, and survival game:

  • At the start of a match, you choose a character, with different roles, weapons, and skills available.
  • The game features PvE elements where you team up against computer-controlled enemies. For this, you must work together and are somewhat “forced” into an alliance.
  • At the same time, there is PvP and you actually want to eliminate your fellow players.
  • Additionally, you have to gather food to survive.

A match is supposed to last between 30 and 45 minutes, and you compete with up to 4 teams of 3 players against zombies and each other. Throughout the game, you gather equipment, complete tasks, and ultimately need to get successfully extracted from the area.

What’s new? On September 2, IGN released a new gameplay trailer for Scavengers. It features many battles and a lot of action captured during the pre-alpha.

Visually, the shooter makes a good impression. The trailer also revealed that Scavengers is set to enter early access in early 2021.

Scavengers relies on interesting technology

How has the development of the game gone so far? Some developers from Halo 5, who were involved in the Warzone mode, came together in the new studio Midwinter Entertainment and announced the game Scavengers in 2018. At that time, many compared it visually with Destiny 3.

In 2019, a first gameplay trailer was shown at E3. Since then, many have been eagerly waiting for new information about the game. However, the biggest announcement for a long time was that Improbable, the company behind the technology SpatialOS, has acquired the development studio. They had already worked together before and Scavengers is also being developed in SpatialOS.

Now we finally know that the shooter is set to officially launch in 2021, although initially in early access. There will be further play tests, an alpha, and a closed beta in 2020. You can already sign up on the official website.

Fall Guys introduces a new Death Hammer that can soon knock you off the map

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

In Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout there are plenty of ways to clumsily fly off the map. Good news: A particularly powerful one is coming soon!

Fall Guys brings out the hammer: In the most downloaded PS Plus game of all time, obstacles of all kinds attempt to keep you away from the finish line. For example, you can slide off poorly balanced seesaws, slip in slime, or run into really tightly closed doors.

But that’s not enough for the developers. Now they have come up with a new evil: The “Big Yeetus.” Yes, that’s really its name and it’s supposed to shake up the gameplay a bit.

And this is what it looks like:

What is the “Big Yeetus” in Fall Guys?

This is what the new obstacle can do: The “Big Yeetus” is an extra large hammer that can appear randomly and seemingly everywhere. In the tweet, the little Fall Guy even benefits from the push of the large hammer: After a perfectly timed hit in the back, he flies directly onto the ramp towards the goal.

It can be assumed that the “Big Yeetus” will not always be so gracious and will sometimes “yeet” you off the map (“Yeet” is actually an exclamation when something is thrown with full force.). Because as the infamous Fall Guys Twitter account states, the hammer is neither your friend nor your enemy.

Furthermore, it emphasizes that many players apparently did not really want to believe in the “Big Yeetus” at first – but it seems to actually become a new feature.
