Rainbow Six Siege is getting some changes with the upcoming Season 3. One of them concerns scopes – weapon attachments that can potentially improve your aiming abilities. A short clip from a longer video gives you insight into the adjustments of the scopes and shows how to use them correctly.
What does the clip show? In just 46 seconds, the YouTuber coreRoss shows all the magnifications that are available for most weapons in Rainbow Six Siege. Specifically, these are:
1.0x
1.5x
2.0x
2.5x
and 3.0x
This covers all standard scopes that you can equip on your weapons in the upcoming Season 3 of Year 5 in Rainbow Six. Only special weapons like Glaz’s sniper rifles (4.0x) and Kali’s (5.0x and 12.0x) are not included. We have embedded the clip here for you:

What does this do for me? The short clip shows you exactly how your field of view changes when you use a certain magnification. The numbers for the magnifications themselves are often rather cryptic and don’t give a good picture of what it actually looks like.
With the direct comparison, you can better decide in which situation you want to or should use which scope attachment. This way, you can better assess how to improve in certain situations.
How is aiming improved? With the changes in Season 3, you fundamentally have more control over how you play and aim. This allows you to better take into account your aiming habits and adjust each weapon to your playstyle.
coreRoss has examined all the new changes in more detail in a video. It lasts 8 minutes, and the clip shown above is taken from this longer video:

What else is changing in Season 3: The upcoming season will significantly shake up Rainbow Six. In addition to the new scopes, settings, and the tracker, features like:
a new feature allowing defenders to share a pool of wall reinforcements
Especially the last point is interesting, as it could strengthen many previously less-used and considered weak operators. They can focus on setting traps and preparing their gadgets while other players reinforce the walls. The Rainbow expert BikiniBodhi believes: This small change is much more important than you think.

Tier 1 (up to +3 over the current power level)
Tier 2 (up to +4 over the current power level)
Tier 3 (up to +5 over the current power level)
pinnacle gear (+5 or more over the power level. The only gear that goes above 1050 and up to a maximum of 1060)

For weeks, there has been a dispute between Epic and Apple regarding Fortnite. At the beginning of the conflict, Epic parodied a commercial by Apple directed by the famous director Ridley Scott. Now Scott himself has commented on the copy.
What kind of commercial is this? The “1984” commercial by Apple aired that year during the Super Bowl and was directed by Ridley Scott – the director behind films like Alien, Blade Runner, Gladiator, or The Martian. The commercial, in turn, referred to George Orwell’s work “1984” – what it’s all about, we have summarized for you here.

Epic used a Fortnite version of the commercial emphasizing that they wanted to stand up against the App Store monopoly. This happened under the hashtag #FreeFortnite – because shortly before, Fortnite had been removed from the App Stores of Apple and Google. The Fortnite version of the commercial looks like this:

Ridley Scott is not a fan of the message of the copy
This is what Ridley Scott says: The director was asked by the US site IGN about the Fortnite copy of his commercial. He said he saw the video and discussed it with the creators, Scott explains.
“On one hand, I can completely enjoy that they [copied my commercial] shot for shot,” said Scott to IGN: “But it’s a shame that the message is so mundane when they could have spoken about democracy or stronger things.” Epic had the chance but did not use it: “I think the animation was great, the idea was great, the message was ‘ehh’.”
Basically, Scott has nothing against the parody; he even praises the technique behind it. Only the occasion seems to disappoint the director.
What is behind the dispute? The reason for the trailer and the legal dispute was a new payment method in Fortnite that allowed players to buy the in-game currency V-Bucks directly from Epic. This was intended to circumvent the 30% fee of the App Stores.
After that, came the removal from the store and the commercial, followed by further battlefields: Apple threatened with further measures, while Fortnite mocked the company on the other side with a skin and an in-game tournament. And finally, Epic CEO Sweeney even praised the competition in another jab at Apple.

With the “Season 5 Reloaded” update, the creators of Call of Duty added a new attachment: Dragon’s Breath ammunition for the R9-0 shotgun. In the Warzone, the weapon has no competition up to 8.5 meters – MeinMMO presents the optimal fire setup.
Update January 7 – Due to a nerf, the 2-shot kill range has been reduced to 7.5 meters and more pellets from a shot need to hit. However, the R9-0 remains the best alternative in direct close combat.
Things have been heating up in CoD recently – Black Ops Cold War was revealed and shortly before that the “Season 5 Reloaded” update went live. How intense the new update has become for melee combat in Call of Duty: Warzone has only become clear in the last few days.
Because the R9-0 shotgun received a new attachment – Dragon’s Breath ammunition. This means you no longer spread pellets, but “fire” magnesium shards at your enemies with temperatures up to 1,600 °C. In close combat, this new hellish weapon outperforms all its competition and is thus the new best weapon up to 8.5 meters.
The YouTuber and CoD expert “TheXclusiveAce” took a look at this nasty piece and MeinMMO presents his results and gives tips on how to unlock the new attachment. The English video from “Ace” can be found here:

Fire Setup of the R9-0 Burns Enemies Out of Their Boots
Warzone Fire Setup of the R9-0 Shotgun
Muzzle: Choke
Barrel: FORGE TAC Defense
Laser: 5mW Laser
Ammunition: Dragon’s Breath
Perk: Quickness
How do I play the setup? With the R9-0, you don’t need to aim with this build, you can just pull the trigger and set the enemies on fire. However, you need to pay attention to the “Double Tap” of the shotgun. The first two shots of a round can be fired incredibly quickly, but it takes a little time for the next shot.
The shotgun offers limited flexibility with this setup. TheXclusiveAce believes that you might want to swap “Quickness” for the “Granulated Grip Tape” to slightly increase the “Sprint-to-Fire Speed.” However, quick reloads are also important with a shotgun, and your “Sprint-out Time” is already excellent without an extra grip.
So when you approach an enemy: take aim, watch the fireworks, and enjoy the fallen soldier. However, it’s not as mean as the One-Shot Shotgun of the FR 5.56, which wreaked havoc in the Warzone for a while.
The Fire Pump is Damn Strong – But Usable Only in Close Combat
Why is it so strong? The setup allows you to eliminate enemies up to 8.5 meters within 200 milliseconds even with full armor. At this distance, the R9-0 is now the best weapon. Previously, the Origin was the standout here – but it’s already finished at 4.5 meters:
R9-0 with Dragon’s Breath – 200 ms up to 8.5 meters
Origin – 223 ms up to 4.5 meters
This catapults the shotguns into entirely new dimensions, and you should consider: Am I playing the Fire Pump alongside my all-rounder weapon or sticking with my SMG? And at the latest, when you finish a few house fights as a pile of ash, you’ll likely do that too. If you still stick with the submachine guns, try the hipfire setup of the MP7.
Where are the weaknesses? Unlike SMGs, shotguns offer little beyond close combat range. While the MP5 can help at medium range, the fire shotgun won’t even give you hit markers here. From at least 15 meters, the primary weapon must come into play.
The “Double Tap” of the R9-0 can also sometimes be tricky. These 2 rapid shots in succession allow you to deal strong damage, but if one of the shots misses, it takes a dangerously long moment before you’re ready to fire again.
Pros
200 ms for a kill up to 8.5 meters
No aiming needed – further reduces TTK
Cons
Pure close combat weapon
Long pause between fire salvos
R9-0: Unlocking Dragon’s Breath Attachment – Quest is Bugged
How do I get the attachment? You don’t unlock it through weapon level progression, but there’s a challenge. Grab the R9-0 and get 10 kills while sliding. However, the task is currently bugged and can only be completed if you use the standard version of the R9-0 and no weapon blueprint. In our guide, we explain more precisely how to unlock the Dragon’s Breath attachment for the R9-0.
In multiplayer, you can easily rack up kills, but it may be more challenging in Warzone. It’s best to use the Plunder mode so you can choose your loadout from the start.
Even before the introduction of incendiary ammunition for the R9-0, shotguns were on the rise and the Origin was landing in more and more loadouts. This trend is likely to continue with the R9-0. There’s also movement among the all-round weapons – 3 LMGs are now among the best weapons and slowly pushing out the assault rifles.

The streamer Guy “Dr Disrespect” Beahm has now explained on YouTube that he is not well. He is struggling with the permanent ban from Twitch. Everything he built has been taken from him without being given a reason. He suffers from it, and the panic attacks come in waves.
This is the situation:
The streamer Dr Disrespect was one of the most successful and distinctive streamers on Twitch for years. He had 4.45 million followers there at the end and signed a multi-year exclusive contract in March 2020 that guaranteed him a lot of money.
Dr Disrespect breaks character during the stream, becomes personal
This is what he says during the stream: At the end of his stream on August 31, Dr Disrespect takes a few minutes to talk to the viewers. During this time, he breaks out of the character he portrays as an entertainer.
Instead of acting grand and loud, he appears earnest and personal. He seems to be seeking understanding. Guy Beahm does what he never does as Dr Disrespect: He admits to a weakness.
The man behind the character: Guy Beahm.
You can tell that it takes him a while to get going and he struggles with himself. But then he says:
“It’s a bit crazy. I’ve played sports my whole life and have always been in high-pressure situations: free throws that decide the game. Or streaming in front of thousands of viewers when everything is at stake. I’m telling you: We’ve had a good life. I’ve never felt fear. Never. I was just: Pff, I don’t care. Get out of my way.
Before the ban … We’re talking about the fact that we overcame a lot of obstacles. We were at such a great point, all cylinders firing, the stream felt incredible. And the feeling that this is taken away from you and not knowing why. Not knowing anything. Nothing said to me. Boom – everything gone. Everything we built, all gone.”
Dr Disrespect
Dr Disrespect says that since then he has anxiety disorders that come in episodes. He really struggles to cope with it.
It seems to weigh on him that in a moment everything he built on Twitch over the years was taken from him.
People said he should be happy about how well things are going on YouTube now and that he should move on and let go of Twitch. But he cannot do that.
He could do that before: He always bounced back from bans and setbacks because he was responsible, he accepted his responsibility and was able to learn from it. There was always a perspective.
The segment starts at 3h 57 minutes:

But he cannot accept the Twitch ban now; he cannot just move on:
“What should I accept in this case? There’s nothing there that I can accept. I can’t do anything.”
Dr Disrespect
Dr Disrespect can no longer participate in any tournaments on Twitch and cannot play with the people he used to play with. This is forbidden for him as a “banned Twitch user”.
The streamer says to his fans that the “dark feelings” come in waves. There will be days when he is not at his best. He tries to get out of it. But he doesn’t know how to let go of the Twitch ban and move on.
He wants to. He tries. But he just doesn’t know how to do it.
This is what’s behind it: Apparently, the streamer, who is so confident during live broadcasts, is now most troubled by his powerlessness. He has no means of action.
In his current situation, as he explained himself, he has to “be silent and clever” and let the lawyers do their thing. He himself is reduced to inactivity.
It is assumed that a legal dispute or arbitration between Dr Disrespect and Twitch is looming in the background.
Otherwise, the character Dr Disrespect is confident. The ban affects him deeply.
So far, it is still unclear why Twitch banned the streamer. For a long time, some assumed there must have been serious violations. But to this day, nothing has come to light that would support this theory.
There is another theory represented by a business lawyer. According to the theory, Dr Disrespect’s ban is a clear business decision by Twitch:
Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen is an MMORPG that has been in development for over 6 years. The game aims to appeal to old-school fans and has now presented new gameplay. While it may not be particularly pretty, the content of the game is well-received by many viewers.
What does the gameplay show? The approximately 38-minute-long video from the developers showcases the new client, character creation, and the first steps in Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen. This footage is from the pre-alpha.
Accordingly, the graphics of the game currently look like this. The shown material is an interim solution where gameplay is being developed first. The UI and animations are also very simple. The final graphics are expected to look very different, similar to what is shown in this gameplay video.

What convinces fans about the video? Pantheon is supposed to be an old-school MMORPG with slower combat and progression systems. In the comments, these aspects are seen positively.
At the beginning, the developer can do nothing else in the fight against the wolf than perform an auto-attack and heal. New skills are only gradually unlocked. Also, the climbing, which will be possible in the MMORPG and was shown in the video, is perceived positively by many.
The developers also emphasize in the livestream that players will be able to fail in Pantheon and that there is a learning curve. Many new MMORPGs are considered too easy. This will likely not be the case with Pantheon.
For many fans of the game, Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen has also made huge strides compared to older videos, especially in terms of animation. They see it as a good sign and hope that the MMORPG will soon transition into an alpha.
Some others, however, criticize the engine (Unity) in which the game is being developed. They fear that it will be already “outdated” before it even releases.
Pantheon focuses on PvE and old-school feeling
What kind of game is it actually? Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen aims to be a classic MMORPG, tying back to the time just before WoW, when the developers were not yet looking to engage single-player fans.
Pantheon places its focus on group play and PvE. Here we can expect plenty of quests and fights against monsters. The MMORPG employs a similar system to Guild Wars 1: You have access to only a certain number of skills and spells at the same time. Therefore, the right strategy for the appropriate dungeon is also important.
Pantheon focuses on PvE and group play. This is appreciated by many.
When will Pantheon be released? In its current state, the MMORPG is in pre-alpha, 6 years after the Kickstarter campaign, which by the way failed in 2014. A release in 2021 seems unlikely at the moment.
The German e-sports player and streamer Elias “EliasN97” Nerlich is currently quite successful on the Twitch platform. Although he is a professional in FIFA 20, he shows different content there. What makes him so successful?
Who is EliasN97? The 22-year-old e-sports player is under contract with Hertha BSC. He played in the Virtual Bundesliga for Hertha last season, among other events.
The FIFA pro diligently shared his successes on his YouTube channels and has been streaming regularly on Twitch since April 2020. Around these channels, he built a real streaming network and is currently one of the largest German streamers. The special thing about it:
Although he has a professional contract for FIFA, he plays very different games on his Twitch channel and entertains thousands of viewers.
“Busy” streams captivate thousands
This is how EliasN97 is received on Twitch: Since April 2020, his community on Twitch has been growing rapidly. Currently (as of September 1 at 3:00 PM), the streamer has over 101,000 followers on Twitch, and the curve is rising steeply:
In the last 14 days, he ranks 12th among streamers with the most average viewers (via Sullygnome)
He had on average over 6,000 viewers watching at the same time
He is surpassing gaming big names like PietSmiet
In less than 5 months, EliasN97 reached over 100,000 followers on Twitch. Source: Sullygnome
This is his content on Twitch: Throughout his time on Twitch, Elias has only shown two hours of FIFA 20, which is actually his signature game. Instead, he spent most of his time in the “Just Chatting” category. However, he also regularly plays Fall Guys, which is currently a huge game on Twitch. Recently, he was also part of the big tournament by streamer Trymacs.
Often joining him in the stream is his buddy and football pro Sidney Friede. The player from the Slovakian top division club Dunajská Streda is active on Twitch himself, and their streams often discuss life as a football pro.

In the stream, there is regularly a reaction to the actions of buddy Sidney Friede.
What makes the streamer so successful? It is the mix of his content. While Elias uploads numerous videos about FIFA on YouTube and regularly plays the football simulator in live streams, he entertains his viewers on Twitch with other topics.
Elias uses words that deliver a high recognition value. Many of his actions are, for example, “busy” and his jokes about buddy Sidney Friede have become so popular that mainly German comments can be found under the videos of Friede’s Slovak team.
It also becomes entertaining for the viewers when Elias lets his connections to professional football play out. There are various videos on YouTube showing him with football pros, and the pros themselves also enjoy joining in when he discusses the virtual salary of his players in his YouTube streams.

In his YouTube streams, Elias not only showcases his skills as a pro but also enjoys playing a managerial career with his club Hertha BSC. There, he acts as an understanding coach, allowing his buddies in the team to play and pursuing the clear goal of the championship.
EliasN97 is a big streamer, but there are still numerous other streamers who surpass him. In a special on Twitch, we introduced you to the 3 biggest German streamers and revealed what makes them so successful.

The “Midas Flopper” fish in Fortnite is extremely valuable and everyone wants to find it. But what makes the fish so good in Season 4?
It’s about this fish: In the game data of Season 4 in Fortnite, the Midas Flopper has already been found. Once seen, you don’t quickly forget this special species, because its appearance is unique. Midas Flopper has black hair (yes, real), a scar visible above and below the eye, tattoos, golden fins, and as an additional highlight, he wears a tie.

You can already tell, it’s not a typical appearance for a fish. Nevertheless, the Midas Flopper is already very popular in Season 4. But what makes it so good?
What can it do? Its properties make the Midas Flopper so valuable. As data miners report, the fish is supposed to “make your inventory legendary.” It is unclear whether it gifts you legendary weapons when your inventory is empty or if only what you have in your inventory becomes truly legendary. No matter how it works, that’s a powerful feature, and it makes the fish already so popular and valuable that everyone wants to have it.
Finding the Midas Flopper fish – is that even possible?
Here’s the problem: Those looking for guides on YouTube to find the Midas Flopper mainly find one thing: Promising videos that ultimately do not catch the fish.
Many say how easy it is to find Midas Flopper, yet no one finds it.
So either the fish is super rare and no one has been able to capture it on video yet. Or it follows a second suspicion of players. Many believe that the fish cannot even be found in the game yet. We are now curious when the first real video evidence of this fish’s existence will appear.
Some claim that you can find Midas Flopper at the pier of Sweaty Sands. However, you would need to upgrade your fishing rod. However, there is still no real evidence from players who have found the fish.
Will Epic just troll its players or will the fish be introduced later in Season 4, what do you think?

The professional league ESL announced regarding Counter-Strike Global Offensive that it is imposing harsh penalties on 3 coaches from the professional teams Hard Legion, Heroic, and MIRB. The CS:GO coaches exploited a bug to cheat. The teams will be disqualified and must return the prize money. The coaches will be banned, with the worst cheat for 2 years. He was also fired by his team.
What did the coaches do? According to ESL, they took a “combination of various steps” and were able to exploit a bug that allowed them to access information they were not supposed to have. They then relayed this information to their players.
It is said that the coaches were able to gain a “Free Camera” perspective by exploiting the bug, gaining insight into the movements of the opponent: an insight they were not allowed to have.
ESL does not elaborate further on the bug. However, as an esports referee explains on Twitter, the coaches were able to move freely on the map and adjust the camera angle as they wished. Such information clearly distorts the competition.

The former chief referee of ESLCS highlights the bug on Twitter.
ESL states that they have closely examined the matches and secured confirmation from the CS:GO developer Valve to validate their findings: The 3 coaches exploited the bug.
ESL emphasizes that it is important to state that other coaches also discovered this bug. However, they did not exploit it.
Coaches banned for up to 2 years
Here are the bugs that occurred:
Alexsander “MechanoGun” Bogatiryev from Hard Legion reportedly exploited the bug on 6 maps in 3 matches – at the ESL One Road to Rio
Nicolai “HUNDEN” Petersen from Heroic reportedly exploited the bug in 10 rounds on 1 map – at DreamHack Masters Spring
Ricardo “dead” Sinigaglia (MIBR) reportedly exploited the bug on one map in one round – at the ESL One Road to Trio
These are the penalties:
“MechanoGun” will receive a ban of two years
“HUNDEN” receives a ban of one year
“dead” will be banned for 6 months
During this time, they are not allowed to participate as coaches or players in ESL competitions.
Furthermore, the teams of the coaches will be retroactively disqualified and must return their earned prize money; the points will also be deducted.

Hard Legion mentions that their players ignored the fact that the information provided by their coach turned out to be “extremely accurate”.
However, they state that they have no reason to suspect that the players knew the source of the coach’s information. Therefore, they plan no penalties against their own players.
Cheaters are a constant nuisance in the esports of CS:GO.
CS:GO is likely one of the games that is inextricably linked with cheating. Even in professional sports, problems frequently arise. In May, cheaters even managed to win a tournament in CS:GO, but their joy was short-lived.
Monks in World of Warcraft are currently having a good laugh. In the arena, they can easily score kills – and that without any gear.
The PvP scaling in World of Warcraft has been a major point of criticism for months. But just now, towards the end of the expansion Battle for Azeroth, players are finding more and more ways to exploit this scaling. A recent case is making monks in the arena become real killing machines. The ability “Touch of Death” can instantly burst enemy players.
What is Touch of Death? This ability of the monks inflicts a debuff on hit enemies. After 8 seconds, the victim takes high damage. For regular enemies, this damage equals 35% of the monk’s maximum health, whereas in PvP it is actually less. However, with a (rather simple) trick, the monk can cause the Touch of Death to hit for over 600,000 damage. The Reddit user Phellxgodx showcases this in several clips and screenshots.
Recommended editorial content

How does it work? The trick is that the enemy monk immediately retreats and drops their gear after using Touch of Death. Now, the PvP scaling kicks in, significantly increasing the damage effect of the ability – by over 200%. So if the monk is naked when Touch of Death wears off, the victim takes massive damage. In many cases, this is enough to eliminate players instantly, thus taking out an enemy.
632,000 damage with one hit – no chance.
However, this method is not entirely safe. The monk player has to remain naked and survive for a few seconds, which can be difficult in the arena. If they succeed, however, an enemy can be defeated in no time.
A good gear is still necessary. Especially the corruption effect, which increases versatility, is particularly useful. This further increases the damage of Touch of Death, even after the gear has been removed.
Will Blizzard fix this? It seems beyond doubt now that Blizzard must make significant changes to the PvP scaling with the new expansion Shadowlands to avoid such situations. Because gradually, more and more combinations and abilities will surely be found that can be exploited in unfair ways with the questionable PvP scaling.
By the time Shadowlands arrives, the developers will surely have a fix ready – but perhaps they might completely abandon the PvP scaling.

In Pokémon GO today, on September 1, the Spotlight Hour with Eevee is taking place. We will show you the bonuses and tell you if the event is worth it.
What is a Spotlight Hour? This event features a special Pokémon every Tuesday evening. It appears more frequently for one hour, and a corresponding bonus rounds it off.
When does the event take place? As always, the Spotlight Hour starts at 6:00 PM local time. You can benefit from the bonuses until 7:00 PM.
What bonuses are there? Of course, there will be increased spawns, this time primarily featuring Eevee.
Additionally, there are double XP for catching Pokémon. You will get at least 200 XP per Pokémon.
Is there Shiny Eevee? Since the Community Day in August 2018, you can catch Shiny Eevee. If you weren’t there at that time, you might still need one or more Shinies. After all, Eevee currently has 7 evolutions. If you want a Shiny of each variant, you will have to hunt for Shinies diligently.
In our guide to Eevee evolutions, you can read how to influence the evolutions and guarantee getting the desired evolution.
Eevee and its Shiny evolutions.
Is the Spotlight Hour worth it? If you already have enough Shiny Eevees, you can skip the event confidently. Eevee is quite a common Pokémon anyway, and many players should have enough candies.
If you still need Shinies, then you should participate. There will hardly be a better opportunity to get a Shiny Eevee.
The XP bonus is quite useless, by the way. There are significantly better ways to gain XP. Friendships or raids are more suitable for that.
If you are not interested in the Spotlight Hour, you can check out the new Mega Events happening in September. 3 new Mega Evolutions and many bonuses are waiting for you.

Here’s how Zelda inspired Destiny: What do the Guardians from the MMO shooter Destiny 2 and the pointy hat-wearing Link from The Legend of Zelda have in common? They both have to wade through basically the same enchanted forest and solve puzzles to avoid being trapped there forever.
Anyone who felt exactly this sensation in the Corridors of Time and remembered the Lost Woods from Zelda did everything right.
Tom Farnsworth is, among other things, the lead designer for Season 11 and recently revealed on Twitter that the iconic Zelda level was the direct template for perhaps the largest Destiny puzzle to date.
This was the mega puzzle: In January 2020, the Corridors of Time had the Guardians firmly in their grip. It was necessary to navigate through a labyrinth of surreal rooms and corridors. Only those who knew the correct sequence could reach the goal.
There were several versions of the puzzle:
Each Guardian could individually take different paths and options to find lore entries and ultimately even their own grave in a (parallel?) future.
The entire community puzzled together for days about an overarching solution for the Corridors of Time. Bungie even had to send players to bed because they threatened to lose their minds.
He almost lost his mind over the last puzzle: Twitch streamer Gladd.
In The Legend of Zelda, players have been familiar with this type of puzzle for decades. It’s always a foggy forest, and often after numerous attempts, a legendary sword awaits the brave hero – which, of course, couldn’t be missing in the Destiny version either.
Such a sword, waiting in a stone for the chosen one, was also already planned for the Dreaming City.
The hint of the Arthurian saga was meant to underline the fantasy theme of the locations – as Farnsworth noted via Twitter. But in the end, the quest for the exotic bow Wishender came out of it.
In the Corridors of Time, the Master Sword doesn’t wait, but at least…
Did any of you feel reminded of your excursions to Hyrule while walking through the Corridors of Time? Well, now you finally have official confirmation and haven’t gone crazy while puzzling.
In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone there is now a new skin bundle that fans either hate or love. It is the Kawaii Cat Bundle for the operator Mara. It includes vibrant anime skins, cat ear helmets, and cool swords that shift the style towards Fortnite.
What is the Kawaii Bundle all about? The term “Kawaii” is Japanese and means something like “cute” or “adorable.” Especially in the anime context, the word often appears, and therefore, in Call of Duty, it refers to a new pack full of colorful, cute skins for the soldier Mara.
She receives, among other things, a helmet with cat ears, bright pink weapon skins, and colorful paint jobs for vehicles. There are a total of 10 items in the package, including a cool sword.
The package was briefly available at the start of Season 4, but now it seems to be regularly available in the shop. The colorful graphics divide the fans of Call of Duty, but one thing everyone actually finds cool.

Kawaii Skins – Too colorful for a hardcore military shooter?
Here are the reactions: Call of Duty has largely come as a brutal, dark shooter with soldiers and war. The developers emphasized this repeatedly at the launch in 2019 and even explained that they would not bring silly pink skins like back in Black Ops 4.
Therefore, the introduction of the new skins seems quite bizarre. The colorful graphics and the cat ears are more reminiscent of Fortnite, where the Lynx skin also sported a cat ear outfit and in Chapter 2 various cat skins appeared.
This is what the haters say: Some fans of Call of Duty see it this way too, expressing their opinions about the package on various social media channels. There was the following feedback from disappointed players on Twitter and Reddit under the official announcement of the package:
Sinful7s: “I love that they always said to keep it ‘realistic’ and then throw in such nonsense.”
AuNAnoMan: “Everything is just leaning towards the cartoon style of Fortnite. What I actually like best about Warzone is that you can look like a soldier. Something that Blackout really struggled to achieve.”
So colorful!
This is the feedback from the fans: Despite or precisely because of CoD’s rather dark look, there seems to be a larger group of fans celebrating the new package:
Jules: “Just a thought… some players are actually girls, like me. Maybe we actually like something that is not so aggressively masculine. Why always be so ugly?”
CactusCracktus: “I will be honest, the emblem and the sticker are damn cute and I’m ashamed to admit that.”
Uncle_Freddy: “Is it bad that I want to buy it just because of the cringe factor?”
Almost everyone finds this good: But regardless of whether one likes the anime look or not, there is one aspect that most players agree on: The swords included in the package are damn cool and a sought-after item that even hardcore haters may want to buy the package after all. The swords are likely to become as popular as the Kali sticks.

It seems that Treyarch and Activision have learned from their biggest mistakes with Black Ops 4. Because with Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, they are smoothing out the most annoying aspects of its predecessor for many.
The latest installment of the popular Black Ops series does not continue the story of its predecessor but connects directly to the story of Part 1. And Black Ops Cold War does quite a few things differently than Black Ops 4 from 2018 – especially regarding some critical points.
What was the problem with the predecessor Black Ops 4? Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and the associated Battle Royale mode Blackout was not a bad game. But it repeatedly drove the community up the wall.
The aggressive monetization system along with its microtransactions caused almost constant frustration, which notably only fully unfolded after the reviews for the game were out. A small red dot for $1, new weapons that only came from bundles or loot boxes, or new maps that were only available through the Black Ops Pass and not available individually, are just a few examples that led to a lot of frustration among numerous players.
And despite some harsh criticism, the loot box and microtransaction system was further expanded and brought Activision money. For many fans, the entire business model was aimed at extracting as much money as possible from players’ pockets. These were among the main reasons why Black Ops 4 was ultimately set aside by some players.
Black Ops 4 regularly caused trouble
This is what Black Ops Cold War does better than Black Ops 4
In short: The system from Modern Warfare is well received by many and is considered fair by the broader community. Now it is continued with Black Ops Cold War. These are the most important changes compared to the predecessor from 2018:
No Season Pass, no loot boxes: Unlike its predecessors, there will be no paid Season or Black Ops Pass. Especially the Black Ops Pass was heavily criticized because it only allowed access to new maps and zombie experiences as a bundle. There were no individual map packs.
Also, loot boxes are out of the game. This addresses another major criticism point from Black Ops players. Because loot boxes repeatedly caused heated discussions – especially when they contained new weapons, or firearms that were no longer available in any other way.
Loot box from Black Ops 4
Fair Battle Pass and free content for all: Additionally, like in Modern Warfare, all relevant post-launch content such as new MP maps, new modes, zombie experiences, or in-game events will be freely available to all players as part of seasons.
There will also be a Battle Pass in the style of Modern Warfare, meaning with a free and a paid premium track, where all gameplay-relevant items can be played for free. New base weapons are also likely to be freely available to everyone.
Warzone as a free Battle Royale: Blackout, the in-house Battle Royale in Black Ops 4, was popular with many players, but was by no means as accessible as Warzone. Because Blackout was tied to the main game. Whoever wanted to try it had to buy the main game.
This is now different. Warzone will officially continue with Black Ops Cold War and beyond, and is intended to serve as a constant between various CoD installments. Although Warzone is included for all buyers at no additional cost, Warzone also exists as a pure free-to-play version. One doesn’t have to buy a full-price CoD to enjoy the Battle Royale.
Continued with Black Ops Cold War – Warzone
(Probably) less time exclusivity: In Black Ops 4, players on the PS4 could play all new content a week before PC and Xbox One. Although this has not been explicitly mentioned yet, with Black Ops Cold War this may also end for the Black Ops series.
With the Modern Warfare system, they emphasize that all players on all platforms can enjoy all content at the same time. There are essentially only a few exceptions, such as a time-exclusive survival mode for SpecOps or special cosmetic bundles for PS Plus members on the PS4. Such things are also imaginable for Cold War. However, the extreme time exclusivity from Black Ops 4 is unlikely to occur in this form for Sony consoles anymore.
Battle for Azeroth feels like an eternity for WoW players? It’s not just a feeling – no other expansion has lasted this long.
Especially the last months in the life cycle of a World of Warcraft expansion often drag on. The next addon is already in sight, and new content for the current expansion is no longer planned. This is particularly frustrating when the current content is unpopular, as was often the case with Battle for Azeroth.
But the numbers clearly show: Battle for Azeroth was also the longest expansion of all.
Where do the data come from? The Reddit user slydragnus took the effort to look at the release dates of the various expansions. From this, Starym at icy-veins then created a list that lists the duration of all addons. We present the results here.
Here are places 8 to 4 of the expansions with the longest lifespan in a nutshell:
Place 8: Warlords of Draenor with 656 days
Place 7: Cataclysm with 658 days
Place 6: The Burning Crusade with 667 days
Place 5: Legion with 714 days
Place 4: Wrath of the Lich King with 754 days
Place 3: Mists of Pandaria with 779 days
Although Mists of Pandaria was rather unpopular at its time, the expansion gained a significantly better reputation among players in retrospect. In hindsight, the fresh, almost peaceful setting of the expansion was very positively received. The entire continent of Pandaria had a great design, there were interesting dungeons, and for many players, the classes and specializations were better than ever before.
Mists of Pandaria lasted a long time – especially the last raid content.
However, the biggest flaw of Mists of Pandaria is probably the long time without new content. The last raid tier, the Siege of Orgrimmar, had to keep players engaged for a whopping 429 days – over a year. Many raid friends still have trauma from it and can recite the voice lines of all bosses in the raid in their sleep.
Place 2: Vanilla with 784 days
Even though this may surprise some in retrospect, the time of Vanilla WoW was not as long as one often thinks. Compared to all expansions, this time span actually only ranks 2nd and only a few days ahead of Mists of Pandaria.
Classic wasn’t actually as long as many think.
However, Vanilla was for many players the first encounter with an MMORPG. Everything was new, completely unknown, and many fundamental mechanics of such games had to be learned first. Therefore, this time period felt significantly longer for many, also because the density of memories and first experiences was greater here.
That is likely one of the many reasons why players have longed for a WoW Classic.
Hard to believe, but Battle for Azeroth achieves the longest lifespan of all WoW expansions so far, breaking the 800-day mark. Although BfA had a rather steady influx of new content in the form of patches, the expansion is already considered one of the most unpopular ever. Too many overloaded systems, poorly thought-out content such as island expeditions or war fronts, and a story that many players did not enjoy.
In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare there are special Camo skins for your weapons. They are sometimes very hard to obtain, as they require a lot of frustrating grinding. However, a few helpful players took pity on another gamer and let themselves be beaten to death with the shield for a whole round so that the poor guy could finally get his skin.
What is the deal with the skin grind? In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, there are so-called “Camos.” These are skins for your weapons that you are supposed to unlock with a lot of effort. To do this, you often need to grind a lot of kills with the corresponding weapon.
Especially the riot shield is a problem, because with this bulky item it is not always easy to beat an opponent to death. Unfortunately, you also need the skins of the shield to unlock the coveted Damascus skin.
The shield is not great for killing opponents.
A player was actually at the end of his nerves and wanted to try one last time to beat people to death with the cursed shield and finally unlock the camo. But this last round was probably his lucky day.
Players offer themselves as voluntary targets
This is what the players did: Somehow it seemed that the whole lobby gradually realized that the poor guy with his shield just wanted that stupid camo achievement. Because they eventually started to happily and freely run at him and let themselves be killed.

Here you can see how the shield bearer makes his kills.
When they respawned, the fun started all over again, and Football_rpg could earn his camo unlock, kill by kill. As the game was almost over anyway, he decided to celebrate his thanks once more with a bang and dropped the nuke he had earned via killstreak.
Player has now unlocked almost everything: Thanks to the cool action of his teammates, the lucky player has now unlocked almost all camos and only needs to make a few kills while injured. The coveted Damascus skin is almost finished grinding because a few nice teammates took pity on Football_rpg and helped him.

InThe Division 2 today, on September 1st, maintenance was performed, and the servers went offline for a few hours. All platforms are affected – so PS4, Xbox One, and PC. But how does the maintenance proceed in detail? And what changes? Find out everything you need to know about the downtime and the patch notes here.
Update 12:15 PM: The maintenance is now complete, and the servers should be available again on all platforms.

Why the maintenance? Even in the ongoing Season 2 work on The Division 2 continues – sometimes with larger updates like Title Update 10.1, but mostly on a smaller scale. So, during the current maintenance, only a few minor adjustments are being made, and the in-game store is being updated with a small feature.
Maintenance Process on September 1st
These times are important today: The developers at Massive have outlined the process for today already on Twitter.
The maintenance will begin at 9:30 AM German time. The downtime will start at that time, the servers will shut down, and remain offline for several hours.
The server downtime is expected to take 3 hours. During this time, you will also be unable to play The Division 2. If everything goes smoothly, the Division 2 servers should be back online by 12:30 PM German time at the latest. With the servers coming back online, the downtime ends, and so does today’s maintenance.
Please note: The outlined process may change during the maintenance. Especially at the end of the maintenance, the times often shift. If anything runs differently today than communicated here, we will adjust this article accordingly.
What the Patch Notes say
What is changing today: Today’s maintenance does not bring any major changes, so the change log is quite concise this time.
2 issues are being fixed, and the in-game store will be enhanced with a small additional feature:
An issue was fixed that caused irregularities with shooting and aiming of the sniper turret.
An issue was fixed that occasionally caused the checkpoint for the heroic boss in Tidal Basin to not function.
Level skips for Season 2 have been added to the in-game shop and can now be purchased there.
It seems that no further changes are planned for today.
In GTA Online, Rockstar Games took a hard stance against brazen cheaters. And those affected are now venting their frustration. They are nagging and whining like there’s no tomorrow.
What happened to the cheaters? In recent weeks, a particular glitch was popular in GTA Online. The garage glitch filled players’ pockets with several hundred million GTA dollars if they used it often and long enough.
For the illegal money-making, they sold apartments significantly above their intended selling price, thus stuffing their pockets with green bills. This was not something done by accident, but something for which they deliberately followed a guide.
On social networks, it is now clear that some of the affected players are not at all happy with how Rockstar intervened. Yes, some even feel outright innocent. We summarize reactions from the glitchers for you here.
Why do you keep the glitch in the game, Rockstar?
Here’s what cheaters say: On Twitter, Reddit, and other social meetup points on the internet, cheaters are discussing the recent glitch penalties in GTA Online. Many lament that they lost all their game progress.
They question Rockstar’s decision for the punishment. Some assumed that repeated use of the glitches would only result in a money wipe. That is, players’ money in their accounts and their cash in the game would be wiped and set to zero. But the developers took a tougher stance and removed all progress players achieved online.
On Twitter, @_Pinulo writes that his friend played GTA Online for almost 5 years and his account was reset due to a “stupid money glitch that everyone used in the game.” He is now really angry because he had already bought all businesses from DLCs before the glitch and only bought “damn cars.”
Player Disloaders also expresses that he is hard hit. He writes that he only exploited “a small apartment glitch, which everyone else did too.” He is being punished while his friends are getting away with it.
Player Draco expresses through a meme that he finds it unfair how Rockstar acted. “Me, after using the money glitch in GTA Online, just for Rockstar to reset my account the next day:” (Warning, loud)

Player kym asks on Twitter if other people will stop playing now that their account has been reset. He then claims that GTA Online has only offered heists in 7 years.
There are also players who are just waiting for their account to be reset and are practically challenging Rockstar Games. Ed94__ writes on Twitter: “No GTA reset here, Rockstar Games, you’ll have to find me.”
Has Rockstar done this before? Yes, in the past there have been account resets, money wipes, or bans from Rockstar Games that were issued against glitch users.
This kind of in-game punishment must always be kept in mind when using such glitches in online mode. One day you could log in and then everything you earned in hundreds of hours of online gaming in Los Santos could be gone.
Do you think it’s right how Rockstar punished the players, or should they have handled it differently and perhaps only reset the characters to the point before the glitch started?
Sony has recently announced the new free PS Plus games for September 2020. This time, fans of battle royale shooters and fighting games have reason to rejoice. For all PlayStation Plus subscribers, there are 2 strong representatives of each genre available for PS4. And now both new PS Plus games are ready for download in the PS Store.
These PS Plus games await you in September 2020: As Sony recently announced, the following monthly titles are available for the PlayStation 4:
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) – one of the most prominent representatives of the battle royale genre
and Street Fighter V – fighting fun from one of the most popular “beat ’em up” series
When can you download these new free games in the PS Store? The two new PS Plus games are now available for download in the PlayStation Store for all PS Plus members.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG)
What is PUBG? PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, or PUBG for short, is one of the games that truly launched the battle royale genre in 2017. The game was developed by the modder Brendan “PlayerUnknown” Greene, who essentially invented the genre while creating mods for the military simulation ARMA.
PUBG adheres to the classic formula of battle royale: up to 100 players parachute onto a map, search for weapons and equipment, and then fight until only one winner or team remains. The experience has since been augmented with additional maps, seasons with battle passes (currently, season 8 is ongoing), and events.
The gameplay in PUBG is not as fast-paced as in Fortnite, Apex Legends, or CoD: Warzone. In PUBG, the focus is more on tactical and methodical gameplay.

You should check out PUBG if other battle royale games have become too hectic and quick for you. If you prefer grounded BR action and enjoy realistic weapons and tactical gameplay, you can’t really go wrong here – especially for free.
What is Street Fighter V? The Street Fighter series is considered one of the pioneers in the fighting game genre – the so-called beat ’em ups or brawlers. And for many, Street Fighter V belongs to the best entries in this series.
As is customary for the series, the setting of Street Fighter V revolves around a tournament in which the world’s best martial arts fighters compete against each other.
Players have more than 15 characters to choose from. These include classics like Ryu or Ken, but there are also some fresh faces. In addition to the traditional 1v1, there is an arcade mode where players can learn the history of the series and the individual characters. Additionally, one can compete in the challenge mode, where specific challenges must be overcome.
The gameplay excels with its classic style of play, where combat primarily relies on standard attacks. You charge your special attacks to deal greater damage to your opponent.

You should check out Street Fighter V if you are a fan of classic straightforward fighting games. There is little fluff here; the simple combat is in the foreground.
Also, if you grew up with the “Street Fighter” series and liked the concept, you can’t go wrong with Street Fighter V. But even if you are completely new but interested in beat ’em ups, Street Fighter V is definitely worth a look. With a little practice, even beginners can quickly access the game. And the combat mechanics are among the best the genre has to offer.
This is what you need: The only hurdle to access the free PlayStation Plus games is essentially an active membership in the paid PS Plus subscription service from Sony Interactive Entertainment.
The subscription costs around €60 per year. With this, PS Plus members typically receive 2 selected PS4 games per month – free and in the form of a digital download in the PS Store. In addition, there are several other benefits.
The benefits of PlayStation Plus: Along with the monthly free games, with PlayStation Plus you also get
Access to online multiplayer in many games
Exclusive discounts in the PS Store
Exclusive in-game content for numerous titles
Access to free trials, allowing you to try some full titles for free
What do you think of the PS Plus selection for September? Are you satisfied with the games, or did you expect more?
