In the new Remnant DLC, I felt really stupid – and that was great!

Benedict Grothaus 20. August 2020 Reading time 7 minutes

Remnant: From the Ashes is getting its second and final DLC today: Subject 2923. MeinMMO author Benedict Grothaus was able to test the new content in advance and had quite a hard time with the tricky puzzles there. But the puzzles are not the only changes.

What is Subject 2923? The second DLC brings the story of Remnant: From the Ashes to a close. You are going to uncover the origin of the Seed and try to defeat it once and for all.

In the process, you will get lost in another world: Reisum, the world of the Urikki – These are very human-like rat beings that live in Nordic-inspired huts and villages and are not always friendly towards humans.

Subject 2923 is now available as a DLC for PS4, Xbox One, and PC – available in the Epic Store or on Steam. Anyone who got Remnant for free in the last 7 days only needs the new DLC to play for €9.99. We have embedded the trailer for the DLC here for you:

Note: The article deals with content from the new DLC Subject 2923. I have tried to keep it as spoiler-free as possible, but some information and insights into details and features are still included.

Super hard puzzles? Well, at least for me …

The DLC does this really well: Let’s start right with one of my highlights. During my first steps through the new campaign, I handled things pretty clumsily and spent a good one or two hours on a puzzle.

This one is already located in the second area of the DLC, an abandoned research facility. There, you have to crack the code to a storage room. The code itself is actually completely obvious, if you know how to solve it:

Everything you need to crack it is actually already here. The only hint you get is the number 5. It cost me an estimated two hours and a lot of internet research on cryptography and mathematics to solve the puzzle.

The puzzle is not necessary for progressing in the game. Behind it lies just a (admittedly pretty cool) weapon. Still, ambition drove me to want to solve it.

The solution was actually quite easy, and I felt pretty dumb afterward. At that point, however, it became clear to me how wonderful it is that a game can make me feel so foolish and yet so delighted when I achieve my reward.

SPOILER: This is the code and how you find it

Weisskopf’s hints mean that he is using a variant of a so-called “quinary numeral system”. There are only numbers from 1 to 5. 6 would be like 11, 7 would be 12 and so on. But he starts at 11 for A, the first letter.

The solution is therefore: 24 13 51 for ICU.

However, these puzzles and extras are not the only things that captivated me about Subject 2923. The entire aesthetic, the world, and the new enemies kept me occupied for hours.

Subject 2923: Bloodborne meets Warhammer

What does the DLC look like? When the base game is compared to Dark Souls, Subject 2923 definitely hits the mark of Bloodborne. It is similarly hard, and in terms of aesthetics and environment, it strongly reminds one of the dark, English world.

It starts right away with the fact that the first areas are a dark forest, followed by a facility with patients. For anyone who enjoyed playing Bloodborne, familiar feelings will arise here.

There are also numerous enemies that seem to be inspired by Warhammer – something that I personally find very good. The Urikki resemble Skaven, some of the more grotesque enemies resemble Chaos Worshipers. One could say:

Remnant: From the Ashes is like Dark Souls meets Fallout
Subject 2923 is like Bloodborne meets Warhammer

Remnant sends you to the planet of rats in the new giant DLC

von Jürgen Horn

The rat people appear quite surprisingly human, yet also like disgusting monsters. This creates a pleasantly uncomfortable, oppressive atmosphere – something that really fits the game’s style.

Two-headed rats, ninja rats, rat mages, and more

What features are there? The cool puzzles are actually just the smallest new feature and more of a detail than a substantial content addition. With Subject 2923, the following comes into play:

2 new zones
6-8 new quests, some of which are related to the puzzles
6 new bosses
4 new base and boss weapons each as well as 4 new mods
2 new armor sets
21 new trinkets
and 3 new consumables

Regarding the bosses and quests, there are some really cool new creatures to discover. Some of my favorite characters were a ninja rat, a warrior riding a giant naked mole rat, and a fat two-headed rat that wants to negotiate and kill me at the same time. Here are some impressions from the test:

How long do the contents entertain? As I mentioned recently, I find it hard to stop playing Remnant. That’s why I already completed the campaign during the test, at least once on normal difficulty.

It took me exactly 8 hours, during which I discovered and solved quite a few secrets and puzzles. However, since the world is randomly generated, I probably saw only about half of the new content, maybe even a bit less.

Therefore, I estimate the playtime to be roughly 20 hours if you want to find all the new weapons, equipment, and extras. The adventure mode, which you can use to farm equipment, is particularly suitable for this . Depending on the difficulty level and skill, this can also turn into 30 hours or more.

Additionally, all new enemies are available in survival mode from the “Swamps of Corsus” DLC. So it adds some replay value as well, but it does require the first DLC.

Is the DLC Subject 2923 worth it? From my point of view, absolutely. The story concludes nicely with Subject 2923 and is particularly worthwhile if you have already completed the main game. I also strongly recommend doing so beforehand.

The new items I have found so far are really good and feel unique to play. Those who want to try out new builds and styles of play will find numerous toys here to play around with.

So far, I haven’t found any spot that would be too difficult. The difficulty suits beginners and advanced players well, and can be adjusted even more through the various difficulty levels. However, anyone who still needs some starting assistance or has just begun playing Remnant through Epic’s offer will find useful tips for getting started in Remnant: From the Ashes.

Please, more of this

Subject 2923 was a lot of fun. Especially the tricky puzzles and cool boss mechanics, as well as the relatively high replay value make it currently an extremely attractive game for me.

It is rare that especially hard tasks or opponents like these in games do not frustrate me but rather are enjoyable, even if they make me feel foolish. Remnant strikes a good balance regarding the difficulty of puzzles, bosses, and enemies.

I regret not having started earlier. On the other hand, now is probably the ideal time because I can play through the entire story from start to finish – without any waiting time.

Right now, Remnant: From the Ashes still makes many evenings enjoyable in the base game, and I look forward to fully enjoying Subject 2923 with friends or alone. It’s just a shame that this story is probably now coming to an end. I would have liked to see more of it.

PvP League in Pokémon GO is unplayable for many – Finally, Niantic responds

Noah Struthoff 20. August 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO there have been significant issues with the PvP League for months. Frustrated trainers have now written an open letter to Niantic. The developers responded promptly and promised clarification.

Here’s the situation with the PvP League: Since the start of the PvP League, bugs in the mode have become the norm. Niantic repeatedly fixes some issues, but then new bugs quickly arise again.

The errors have reached a point where some trainers simply cannot play anymore and lose rounds due to bugs. Other trainers have lost interest in the mode. They don’t want to invest time in something where they lose due to game errors.

This is what has happened: Those who are fans of the PvP League but are just frustrated by the errors can now have hope. Trainers have compiled the known issues of the league and forwarded them to Niantic.

The developers have responded and promised an update for next week. It is supposed to clarify the errors.

Update on PvP Bugs is coming – Community is skeptical

This is the open letter: The letter comes from various PvP veterans. Among them are also well-known YouTubers like the German-speaking Spieletrend. Otherwise, they are mainly organizers of PvP tournaments and high-ranking fighters in the league.

The letter neatly lists what is currently going wrong in the PvP League. The known bugs are mentioned and there is also a detailed explanation and a video that shows the bug.

This is how Niantic reacts: The letter was shared on Twitter by numerous trainers and ultimately reached Niantic. They responded on Twitter: “Thank you for your thoughtful and constructive feedback. We have looped in our developers to share a comprehensive update on what’s being done to address the issues in GO Battle League. While this will take some time, we aim to have this update for you by the end of next week.”

Thank you for your thoughtful and constructive feedback. We've looped in our developers to share a comprehensive update on what's being done to address the issues in GO Battle League. While this will take some time, we aim to have this update for you by the end of next week.
— Pokémon GO (@PokemonGoApp) August 18, 2020

This means that they want to be more transparent here. Niantic aims to provide insights into the problems and possibly explain why a fix is so difficult.

What do trainers say about this? Many players are still skeptical about whether the bugs can actually be fixed soon. After all, there have been continuous bug fixes and new errors often worsened the situation.

On Twitter, there are various comments suggesting to pause the PvP League for now. If the bugs are actually fixed, they would gladly return.

I stopped playing go battle back towards the end of season 2 because of all the issues and won’t bother playing it again until it’s fixed. There is nothing fun about losing an easy win to a bug. pic.twitter.com/q8yOFfSuh5
— ĐФภɀ₳ ????????? (@DonzaRS) August 19, 2020

If you still want to start in the PvP League right now, we recommend our Tier list for all leagues. There you will find a wide selection of strong Pokémon, so you can build useful teams. If there are no bugs, you can achieve numerous victories through this.

In FIFA 21 these 9 well-known stars could get significantly worse cards

Julian Schröder 20. August 2020 Reading time 5 minutes

Coming soon, FIFA 21 will be released and the new player ratings are highly anticipated. MeinMMO has looked at 9 stars who could receive downgrades in the new FIFA installment.

The new ratings in FIFA 21: As in every year, EA Sports adjusts the player ratings for the new FIFA installment. The values are determined based on the performances of the past season. Some players will get stronger, while others will get weaker.

In addition to the best cards in the game, it is particularly exciting how the big stars are rated, who did not convince in the past season.

We will tell you which well-known stars could receive downgrades in FIFA 21.

Eden Hazard

That’s why Hazard’s rating could drop: The top transfer from Real Madrid, who switched from Chelsea FC for 115 million euros, had a mixed season and could not meet the high expectations. Although injuries have held him back, a downgrade due to his mediocre performances seems inevitable.

Especially since the winger only managed one goal and 7 assists in 22 games for Real Madrid last season.

How strong Hazard could be in FIFA 21: We realistically estimate a downgrade to still strong 88 points in the overall rating. That way, the cover star of FIFA 20 would still have a strong card.

Antoine Griezmann

That’s why Griezmann’s rating could drop: Similar to Hazard, Antoine Griezmann was a top transfer last summer. Barcelona paid 120 million euros to Atletico Madrid. However, the Frenchman has not been able to truly convince at the Catalans so far.

In 48 games, he managed 15 goals and 4 assists. Too little to justify a 89 rating.

How strong Griezmann could be in FIFA 21: Since Griezmann’s performances were not completely catastrophic and he was able to play quite a lot, a downgrade to 87 seems plausible.

Giorgio Chiellini

That’s why Chiellini’s rating could drop: The Italian top defender from Juventus Turin started the FUT-20 season with a strong 89 card. However, there were no further improved cards throughout the season.

This is probably because the now 36-year-old defender has been plagued by injuries and could only play 4 matches in Serie A. A downgrade seems unavoidable.

How strong Chiellini could be in FIFA 21: Giorgio Chiellini could still receive a strong defender card in FIFA 21. An overall rating of 86 or maybe 87 seems appropriate, as he did not deliver poor performances.

Marco Reus

That’s why Reus’s rating could drop: In the past season, Marco Reus could not connect to the top performances of the previous season, which was probably also due to injuries. Nevertheless, he achieved 17 points in 26 games. The downgrade should not be too severe.

One should also keep in mind that Reus is now 31 years old, which EA often rewards with a downgrade rather than an upgrade.

How strong Reus could be in FIFA 21: Despite Marco Reus’s somewhat disappointing season, the performances of the Dortmund player were at least stable and should not justify too severe a downgrade. A new overall rating of 86 would fit.

Gareth Bale

That’s why Bale’s rating could drop: Already in FIFA 20, Bale received a significant downgrade from 88 to 85. And as the Welshman is now even less enthusiastic about football and is also not considered by coach Zinedine Zidane, he will hardly be able to maintain his strong rating of 85.

How strong Bale could be in FIFA 21: Gareth Bale is facing a significant downgrade in the new FIFA installment. We are talking about a downgrade to potentially 82 points in the overall rating.

Paul Pogba

That’s why Pogba’s rating could drop: Pogba is one of the best midfielders in the world. However, unfortunately, the Frenchman cannot always deliver top performances. One goal and 4 assists in 22 games speak a clear language. He will hardly avoid a downgrade.

How strong Pogba could be in FIFA 21: Despite his poor performance last season, Pogba can still play at world-class level, so we suspect a moderate downgrade from 88 to 86 points in the overall rating.

Luka Modric

That’s why Modric’s rating could drop: If you look at Modric’s statistics from last season, you’ll quickly realize that another 90 rating in FIFA 21 is quite unrealistic.

In total, the 34-year-old scored 5 goals and provided 8 assists in 40 games. A bit disappointing for the 2018 Ballon d’Or winner.

How strong Modric could be in FIFA 21: A new rating of 87 would suit the Croat well and still mean a strong card for the midfield.

Diego Godin

That’s why Godin’s rating could drop: Diego Godin had a tough time in his first season at Inter Milan. Although he did not play poorly, the competition in his position was just too great.

And without a starting position, a continued strong rating of 88 is at risk.

How strong Godin could be in FIFA 21: Perhaps Godin can establish himself despite strong competition at Inter Milan and secure a starting position. However, he will probably not receive a rating of 88. A value between 84 and 85 seems more realistic.

Hugo Lloris

That’s why Lloris’s rating could drop: In recent years, Hugo Lloris has always been among the top goalkeepers in FIFA. However, after Tottenham’s disappointing season last year, the keeper is threatened with a downgrade.

Although he was injured for a large part of the season, he still managed to concede 37 goals in 27 games. Which is not a rate of a top goalkeeper and therefore will likely be penalized with a downgrade.

How strong Lloris could be in FIFA 21: A new overall rating of 85 is quite conceivable due to the weak performances.

What do you think about the possible downgrades? Did we forget top players who deserve a downgrade? And which players deserve an upgrade? Here we have 5 top talents that must be upgraded in FIFA 21.

In Fortnite you can now participate in a bootcamp where you will complete various challenges. For everyone who joins, there is a cool reward and a chance to win V-Bucks. We will show you how to get involved.

What kind of bootcamp is this? This is a community contest. Unlike a tournament where you must fight against each other on the battlefield, here it’s about completing various challenges.

The bootcamp takes place between Wednesday, August 19 and Sunday, August 23, 2020. All players from the regions: Germany, Austria, and Switzerland can participate in the contest.

How to get involved

What you need to do: In order to participate in the bootcamp and have your progress counted, you must register for the camp. To do this, go to the Fortnite Epic Games competition page.

After that, you will be automatically redirected to the competition page for the bootcamp. There you will also find the challenges you need to complete.

Important: New challenges will be released every day. If you miss a day, you can catch up, but you must complete the challenges in order.

Your progress will be displayed immediately and updated every 30 minutes so that you have an overview.

Cool reward for the bootcamp

What is the reward? You can unlock the first free item by completing all 6 challenges that take place between August 19 and August 21.

If you succeed, you will receive the spray “Lamasplosion” as a reward. Here is what the spray looks like:

This spray could become one of the rarer sprays if players can only unlock it through the bootcamp. Rare sprays are sought after and some have even been sold for $300 on Ebay.

Win V-Bucks in the bootcamp

This is how it continues with the rewards: Players who successfully complete all 6 challenges qualify for the weekend competition.

Between August 22 and August 23, 2020, you will receive new challenges for the bootcamp. You will see these again on the competition website.

There are V-Bucks to be won that you can use to buy cool skins and accessories in the item shop. The top 5 places will receive between 1,500 to 2,500 V-Bucks. A detailed overview of the prizes for the placements can be found on the official Epic Games page.

This is how you see your progress in the competition: As soon as the weekend contest starts on August 22, the leaderboard on the website will be activated. There you can see how your placement stands. Only 20,000 players will receive a V-Bucks reward.

Every agent in Valorant shakes up the meta – Here’s why it’s important

Jürgen Horn 20. August 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

In Valorant new agents are regularly added, and they often have disruptive effects on gameplay and the meta. However, according to the developers at Riot Games, this is intentional. You can learn why here on MeinMMO.

These are the ideas behind new agents: In a recently released dev video, lead character designer Ryan “Morello” Scott explained what the plans and concepts at Riot are for the new agents.

Every time a new agent is brought into the game, it disrupts the balance and the meta gameplay. While this annoys many players, the developers want it this way.

Ryan “Morello” Scott in Dev Talk about new agents in Valorant.

What we introduce will always slightly disrupt the game. The learning curve of a new agent is important. It adds something to the game. We believe it is much better that there is a learning curve, or that it could be frustrating to learn how to play against someone, rather than just saying: “Why did we even add this new agent?”

It is therefore important that players are encouraged to actively engage with the new agents and adapt their playstyle to the new situation. This is intended to keep the game fresh and active, rather than letting it stagnate in a fixed meta.

The meta should always change

These are the developers’ thoughts on the latest agents: In the video, Morello further explained what their thoughts were on the latest new agents Reyna and Killjoy. Each new agent is supposed to not only be a nice new toy, but also fill a slot in the game’s “competitive ecosystem”.

Reyna is designed here as a “hard fragger.” She is meant to quickly secure kills and become even more powerful. Additionally, she can still help her team with her stuns.

On the other hand, for Killjoy, it was important to distinguish her from other sentinel agents like Sage or Cypher:

With Killjoy, it’s about bunkering down in an area, fortifying it, and creating risk factors – and this risk, if not handled properly by the opponent, can turn into kills for Killjoy. This is different [from Sage and Cypher] – setting up a sentry or a nanowarm and not being able to capitalize on it doesn’t bring much. Presenting two threats at once is how we want Killjoy to achieve patterns of defense and conversion [into kills].

Therefore, the meta must never hold for too long

Morello from Riot expresses my thoughts perfectly when he says that the meta needs to be regularly broken up. Therefore, I found his contribution to character design and the implementation of new agents very informative. Because I see it as he does: If too much consideration is given to the players, they will never change anything in their playstyle and gameplay stagnates. Sometimes one must break free from entrenched patterns, and it is good when a studio like Riot clearly states, “When we bring something new, it is always our goal to change something in the game.” This is the only way to keep the game exciting and attractive for both new and old players in the long run.

Just Killjoy caused a lot of trouble among players even before her introduction. Many were concerned that a female agent with automatic turrets would disrupt the game too much and take away any skill from the game. In the end, however, the agent integrated quite well. How her impression on the meta and the tier list of agents in Valorant turns out in the end remains to be seen.

The Division 2 will soon get a transmog system – Here’s what it can do and how it works

Sven Galitzki 20. August 2020 Reading time 4 minutes

With Title Update 11 (TU11), The Division 2 will introduce a transmog system that allows you to finally make your agents look the way you want – with some small restrictions. Here’s what’s in the new feature.

What is transmog all about? If the current customization options in The Division 2 are not enough for you, then there may be really good news for you now.

As Massive revealed in the new issue of State of the Game, The Division 2 will receive a new feature with the next major update (Title Update 11) that many agents have been wishing for a long time – namely a so-called transmog system.

When exactly TU11 will be released is not officially known yet, but some players assume it could be in September.

Everything important about the transmog system in The Division 2

What is transmog anyway? It is basically a popular cosmetic feature. Transmog comes from “Transmogrification” and means that you can change the appearance of a specific piece of gear. This way, the look of most items you have already found of the same category (for example, knee pads) can be transferred to a desired item of that category.

In short: Thanks to transmog, you no longer have to compromise between the desired appearance and the stats of your best gear pieces.

How does transmog work in The Division 2? In The Division 2, transmog is made possible through so-called Appearance Mods. The changes can then be made in the already existing character menu.

With the Appearance Mods, you can change the look of your gear beyond just coloring. For example, you can give different items the appearance of a different brand.

To do this, you must inspect the item (like when applying mods or changing the color). There, you will see the new option “Mod Appearance”. Here you will find an overview of the possible looks available for the particular item. By the way, only items that you have already found can be used as visual templates.

The target object changes its appearance according to the template, but its original stats remain unaffected. This way, you can give your character the desired appearance without necessarily having to change the stats or perks of the equipped gear.

Which gear can be used for transmog? Gear pieces of all categories can be visually changed through transmog in quality tiers from simple (gray) to high-end (gold). This includes

Mask
Backpack
Chest piece
Gloves
Knee pads
Holster

The appearance of gear sets can also be adjusted in this way. However, the appearance of weapons cannot be changed within the framework of transmog. This system only extends to the armors of your agents.

The most important questions and answers about the transmog system

Who can use the Appearance Mods? All players of The Division 2 – regardless of optional additional content such as the Warlords expansion. There are no level restrictions, so agents of all levels (1-40) can immediately access the feature in the menu. Additionally, it does not matter if it is an old, new, regular, or hardcore character.

What about exotics? Exotics are excluded from the transmog system. You cannot change the appearance of exotic items, nor can you make other items look like exotics.

What about named items? Named items can also serve as templates or be visually changed through transmog.

What can be used as a template? As described above, almost all items except for weapons and exotics can be used. The item must have been looted by you at least once. Afterwards, it remains permanently available as a template – even if you disassemble, sell, or share it afterwards.

Can you remove the Appearance Mods? Yes, you can easily restore the original appearance of a modified item at any time. The Appearance Mod will not be lost, as it remains permanently available and is not a consumable item.

When can these new mods be used? As soon as Title Update 11 is released. However, there is no exact date for that yet. It is suspected to be sometime in September.

Who can see the changes? For yourself and for all other players. Other agents will still be able to see what is actually under the Appearance Mod when inspecting your character if you want them to.

Are the transmog options character-specific or account-wide? Transmog works account-wide; you just need to have looted the template with one of your characters. So if you found a pair of “Grupo Sombra S.A.” gloves, they will be unlocked as templates for all gloves – across all your agents.

Just log in once with each of your agents right after TU11 to bring the template collection to the same level for all.

Are masks still only seen in the Dark Zone? The appearance of the mask you are wearing can be changed with transmog, but your character will still only wear the mask in the Dark Zone.

Can gear pieces be hidden? No, gear pieces still cannot be hidden.

By the way, with Title Update 11, a new Endless Mode is also coming to the game: The Division 2 is still alive – New Endless Mode comes sooner than expected

TFT: These 3 combos are the best in patch 10.17 – here’s how to use them optimally

Alexander Leitsch 20. August 2020 Reading time 5 minutes

On August 18, Patch 10.17 for Teamfight Tactics was released. This made only minor changes to champions and items. We present you the combos that currently dominate the patch.

What’s new? Patch 10.17 hasn’t changed much in TFT. The focus of the update was on small adjustments to champions and items. The most important changes are:

Jarvan IV was one of the strongest 1-gold units and has been weakened in armor.
Blitzcrank, on the other hand, gained armor.
Cassiopeia deals more damage in the late game at level 3
Riven received a buff in health points and magic resistance
Gankplank was slightly weakened at level 1 and 2
Mechs received a change in scaling that makes them weaker in the early game but stronger in the late game.

Despite the changes, the meta has hardly changed. Fizz, Jhin, and Teemo are still among the strongest champs in the game, and the Mechs are still strong.

You can find all the changes from 10.17 in this video:

Note: This guide was originally created in April 2020 and is updated for new patches. The last adjustment was made for Patch 10.17 on August 20, 2020.

[toc]

Combo 1 – Astro-Snipers

Which champions are used in the combo? One of the strongest combos in Patch 10.16 relies on Jhin and Teemo, even though both were weakened in this update:

Blitzcrank – Chrono/Brawler
Gnar – Astro/Brawler
Nautilus – Astro/Frontline
Wukong – Chrono/Frontline
Soraka – Starcaster/Mystic
Teemo – Astro/Sniper
Jhin – Starcaller/Sniper
Karma – Starcaller/Mystic

These attributes are used by the combo:

3 Astro
2 Brawler
2 Chrono
2 Frontline
2 Starcaller
2 Mystic
2 Sniper

What items does the combo need? A big advantage of the combo is that it is very flexible with items. However, carry items on Jhin and Teemo, including Guardian Angel, are useful.

Jhin: Guardian Angel, Last Breath, Infinity Blade
Teemo: Rabadon’s Deathcap, Seraph’s Embrace, Morellonomicon

How does the early game look? The combo plays well if you start quickly with the snipers Caitlyn/Ashe or one of the two carries, Jhin or Teemo.

Furthermore, you will quickly find Blitzcrank and Nautilus for the frontline, which should allow you a secure midgame. After that, it is advisable to fill the combo with the two carries.

What’s the gold plan? Try to be dominant as early as possible to generate gold through winning streaks. Your combo works fairly early and can be flexibly exchanged.

It really goes online at level 7. That should be your goal fairly early. Fast 8 (i.e., quickly leveling to 8) is not necessary.

When should you not play this build? If 3 other players are already going in the same direction, then the combo, like many others, is unplayable.

Are there alternative builds? Alternatively to those mentioned above, you can opt for 4 Snipers, with Caitlyn and Vayne. This can be particularly good if you reach level 9. Then, you just need to swap one of the brawlers.

von Alexander Leitsch

Combo 2 – Mech/Infiltrator/Blaster

Which champions are used in the combo? The combo relies on the 3 Mech pilots who together form a super mech. In addition, the two legendaries Gankplank and Ekko are used to strengthen the combo in the late game. An important factor for the strength of the combo was the change to Hand of Justice in Patch 10.16:

Rumble – Mech/Blaster
Annie – Mech/Mage
Fizz – Mech/Infiltrator
Viktor – Battlecast/Mage
Karma – Starcaller/Mystic
Soraka – Starcaster/Mystic
Gankplank – Mercenary/Space Pirate/Blaster
Ekko – Cybernetic/Infiltrator – Alternatively Shaco – Starcaller/Infiltrator

TFT 10.17 Mechs — The Mech combo (via Mobalytics).

These attributes are used by the combo:

3 Mechs
2 Blasters
2 Infiltrators
2 Mages
2 Mystics
1 Mercenary

What items does the combo need? The combo works best if you collect items on Rumble, Gankplank, and Viktor:

Rumble: Quicksilver, Hand of Justice, Titan’s Resolve
Gankplank: Morellonomicon, Guardian Angel
Viktor: Morellonomicon, Spear of Shojin

How does the early game look? Here too, you initially focus on a stronger frontline behind which champions like Annie can hide. A good combo consists of 2 Brawlers and 2 Mages.

As soon as you get Fizz and Rumble, you offensively focus on the Mech pilots. Gankplank, Ekko, and Soraka are filled in later.

What’s the gold plan? You also quickly save up to 50 gold here but start rolling out from level 6 and trying to find and level up the important champions. You want to achieve a 3-star Annie and a 3-star Rumble since both will buff your Mech pilots.

When should you not play this build? If 2 or more other players are already saving on Mechs, you should leave it, unless you get to a 2-star version early.

Combo 3 – 6 Blademasters

Which champions are used in the combo? The combo relies on Blademasters, as well as Rebels and Infiltrators. The combo is very strong in the late game and is primarily carried by Yi and Zed:

Zed – Rebel/Infiltrator + Blademaster with item
Master Yi – Rebel/Blademaster
Yasuo – Rebel/Blademaster
Shen – Chrono/Blademaster
Riven – Chrono/Blademaster
Xayah – Celestial/Blademaster
Fizz – Mech/Infiltrator
Ekko – Cybernetic/Infiltrator

These attributes are used by the combo:

6 Blademasters
2 Chrono
3 Rebels
2 Infiltrators

What items does the combo need? The combo relies on getting a Spatula to turn Zed into a Blademaster:

Zed – Blade of the Ruined King
Master Yi – Rapid Firecannon, Bloodthirster, Runaan’s Hurricane
Shen – Warmog’s Armor, Cloak of Silence

How does the early game look? At the beginning, you play very slowly and aim to quickly get to 50 gold. It may be sensible to aim for a loss streak to achieve this and get to the item Spatula.

In the beginning, collect Xayah and Fiora, but stay with Rebels and Brawlers like Malphite to avoid losing too much. In the mid-game, you can temporarily use Fiora or Irelia as a substitute for Riven and then swap later.

What’s the gold plan? You also quickly save up to 50 gold and level slowly up to level 7. Then you try to get your 6 Blademasters on the field. Go quickly to level 8 to complete your combo.

When should you not play this build? If you haven’t got a Spatula after the first carousel and NPC rounds or too many other players are going Blademasters.

Twitch streamer finally wins in Fall Guys after 8 days, breaks viewer record

Noah Struthoff 20. August 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

The Twitch streamer Timothy “TimTheTatman” Betar finally achieved his first victory in the Battle Royale Fall Guys. He breaks a viewer record and receives a lot of praise.

This was the situation: TimTheTatman is currently the largest streamer in Fall Guys. This is not due to his incredible skills, but because he often fails and entertains the viewers.

After he has been desperately trying to win a round in Fall Guys for 8 days, he finally has his first success. After hundreds of attempts, the streamer secures his first win and celebrates it as if it were a lottery win.

250,000 viewers watch the first victory

This was the moment of victory: The Twitch streamer shares his win on Twitter and receives hundreds of thousands of likes:

In the final game, he survives the longest on the platforms and secures his first victory.

The victory is celebrated with a loud cheer. His fellow streamers, including superstar Ninja, rejoice and even applaud when the victory is secured.

New viewer record for TimTheTatman: The streamer is currently benefiting the most from the hype surrounding Fall Guys. During his stream, in which he also achieved his first victory, there were times when over 335,000 viewers were watching at the same time. At the moment of victory, there were over 250,000 viewers simultaneously.

Thus, TimTheTatman breaks his viewer record. It was last set on April 10 when he played the then newly released shooter Valorant.

On April 10, TimTheTatman had an average of 105,000 concurrent viewers
Now, on August 19, it was an average of 184,000 concurrent viewers

He clearly broke his record. Generally, TimTheTatman has reached significantly more viewers with his recent streams than usual.

His success on Twitch can be attributed to several reasons:

He often fails and gets particularly loud about it – Viewers enjoy it when someone fails in Fall Guys
The developers of Fall Guys themselves make fun of TimTheTatman. On the official Twitter channel, there are various memes about the streamer and his failures. Other major outlets are joining in, and the attention on social media is huge.
TimTheTatman streams with well-known personalities. Stars like Ninja or Dr. Lupo often join him.

Fall Guys is currently popular among the internet stars in general. YouTuber PewDiePie and streamer Dr. Disrespect have already had an epic battle in the Battle Royale.

The streamer xQc, on the other hand, had some issues with a troll who hindered him. He then got revenge on the streamer and provided numerous laughs for the viewers with the action. Trolls are generally a big topic in Fall Guys, as you can frequently throw or block your fellow players.

Which dead MMORPG do you think should return?

Alexander Leitsch 20. August 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

Over the years, not only have new MMORPGs been constantly released, but many have also been discontinued. But which of these dead games do you want back the most?

What is this about? MMORPGs have existed for many years. The beginnings date back to the 1970s, with the first “true” MMORPG probably being Meridian 59, which was released in 1996.

Since then, not only have dozens of new MMORPGs been released, but many of them have also been closed down. Some of the closed titles, however, simply came out at the wrong time, at least according to their fans, or were underestimated by the users of the time.

We at MeinMMO would therefore like to know which of the closed games our readers miss the most.

What games are available for selection? In the survey, there are 18 different MMORPGs available for selection, all of which have been completely discontinued and are no longer playable. We have focused on the most well-known titles, although we have not listed every game since 1996.

Some of these titles are still running today on private servers, such as Warhammer Online, but we have excluded that here. After all, not everyone uses this option, and many wish for a return from the official side and possibly even with new updates.

If we have forgotten your desired title in the selection, there is the option “Other” that you can select. Ideally, you combine this with a comment so that we know which game you want back.

Level-Squish with WoW Shadowlands: How many levels do you lose because of the addon

Andreas Bertits 20. August 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

In autumn, the next expansion Shadowlands for Blizzard’s MMORPG World of Warcraft (WoW) is released. The addon not only brings new content but also a reduction in levels. A table shows you how far you fall.

What is the so-called level squish? The level squish refers to the loss of your levels after the release of Shadowlands. The loss of levels coincides with the fact that Blizzard wants to reduce the number of levels in WoW. With Shadowlands, the new maximum level will be 60. Currently, it is 120.

This means that every player in WoW will be adjusted to these new levels, and most will likely lose levels.

Your levels will look like this with Shadowlands

This is the level you will have after the release of the addon: WoW players are now wondering what level they will fall back to once Shadowlands is released in autumn. You can see this in a new table (via WoWHead).

You see that primarily if you currently have the maximum level of 120, you will fall back to level 50. From there, you will go to the new maximum level 60, which will be introduced with Shadowlands.

Why is this level squish happening? According to Blizzard, leveling in WoW has not been particularly interesting anymore. By reducing levels, each level-up should become exciting and meaningful again. With each ascent, you will receive improvements that feel really good, and you should look forward to each level-up.

The new system is supposed to give you a better feeling of progress.

However, the adjustment of levels does not change anything about the balancing. As a level 50 hero, you will still be able to fight against monsters or complete raids just as well as you could at level 120.

This is how leveling will be adjusted: With the level squish, a level adjustment is also introduced. You can start in a new starting area, where you will level up to level 10. After this, however, you can choose where you want to continue leveling up. The options are:

Classic (“Vanilla”)
The Burning Crusade
Wrath of the Lich King
Cataclysm
Mists of Pandaria
Warlords of Draenor
Legion
Battle for Azeroth

You can also jump between the contents if you want. Once you reach level 50, you will proceed to the new content of Shadowlands.

In WoW, you can also skip levels through boosting. Whether that’s good or bad, you can read about it in the MeinMMO article “Boosting services in MMORPGs like WoW.”

Bug in CoD Warzone can cost you money and ammunition – Here is how to avoid it

Maik Schneider 20. August 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

A small bug in Call of Duty: Warzone can steal important items that you want to give to your teammates. What stairs have to do with it and how to avoid the bug is shown by MeinMMO.

What kind of bug is this? Players of Call of Duty: Warzone are tough when it comes to bugs, glitches, or errors in the battle royale. However, they also like to give – especially cash and ammunition to their teammates.

However, there is currently a problem here. If you place your small gifts incorrectly, they simply disappear without a trace.

What does it look like? The player “ohrules”, known in the Warzone as “Botman”, shows a clip on Reddit where he loses some ammunition packs while dropping them:

Recommended editorial content

At this point you will find external content from Reddit that complements the article.

I consent to external content being displayed to me. Personal data can be transmitted to third party platforms. Read more about our privacy policy.

Link to the Reddit content

How can I avoid this? “Botman” already gives the crucial hint in the title of the thread: “Avoid dropping items on the stairs that lead to the subway stations. They go right through the floor. We lost 5,000 cash at that staircase.”

If you want to make sure that you do not lose your items at stairs, avoid completely dropping gifts on stairs. This also includes laid-down weapons, ammunition, and armor plate crates.

Although “Botman” only mentions the stairs leading to subway stations, this might also apply to other larger staircase houses.

Is there a fix for this? A response from the developers regarding the bug has not been found so far. Since the fix for the annoying “demon weapons”, more and more graphic errors are appearing that currently disturb the game. For now, you should be careful not to drop ammunition and cash on stairs. Other players have also reported the problem in the thread.

It is hard to say whether this is just a small error in collision detection that could be easily fixed or if there is more behind it. The bug is annoying, and the developers at Infinity Ward will surely fix it eventually, but for now, the one-shot gun “FR 5.56” is in focus. Due to a broken attachment, the assault rifle has become the strongest tool in Warzone for close combat.

Moreover, the CoD creators are busy preparing for “Call of Duty: Black Ops – Cold War”. After a long “Easter egg” hunt, there is finally the first trailer for CoD 2020 and a date for the worldwide reveal. The Warzone might play a big role here.

MMORPG ESO: With the new free update, your houses will be bustling

Andreas Bertits 20. August 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

The MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online (PC, PS4, Xbox One) expands with the next free update the housing and introduces a cool new feature that will make your houses feel more alive.

What is this new housing feature? With the new Update 27, it is possible to set character paths for almost all your assistants, mounts, and companions in your houses. This is intended to make the buildings feel more vibrant. The NPCs will not just stand statically at their assigned positions but will walk along paths set by you throughout the house.

With the character paths, we wanted to create an easy entry point while also making path editing quick and simple. It should be fun. Our ultimate goal was to create another layer in the creative and free furnishing of your homes without making it too complicated or boring.
Cullen Lee, System Designer of ESO

Make your houses feel alive

What exactly is possible? If you place a figure like an NPC companion, a pet, or a mount in your home, you then select “Create Path” and set via position markers where the figure should go. This way, you create a complete path. Up to 30 positions can be set per NPC and distributed freely in your home. The NPCs will then follow this path.

It is even possible to set pauses at locations. These can last between three seconds and three minutes. You also determine the speed at which the figures move.

At the end of the path, the figure turns around and goes back. The paths can still be adjusted afterwards.

It is even possible to make your NPCs walk through the air or through furniture.

You can freely set positions wherever you want – even freely in the air or behind solid objects – if you want. That was very important to us because it preserves the freedoms that the housing editor is all about. But it also means that sometimes you might expect some strange behavior.
Cullen Lee, System Designer of ESO

What exactly does it bring? With these completely freely positionable paths, you can create funny situations. How about a mysterious servant who suddenly appears out of nowhere? Set a path that leads the NPC behind a piece of furniture. There, he disappears into the wall. You then lead the path through the house in a sprint to a position behind a curtain, where the servant suddenly reappears.

You can make NPCs float or make it look like your pets are playing with each other. Let your creativity run wild.

I hope players will try it out for themselves and then share their thoughts and creations with others. There are no right or wrong ways to use the system, so have fun! While we at ZOS created the system, what you all make of it in the end gives it its meaning. Seeing what you created at the end of the day is the best part for me.
Cullen Lee, System Designer of ESO

When will the update be released? The free Update 27 for the MMORPG ESO will be released with the new DLC Stonethorn on August 24 for PC/Mac and Stadia, and on September 1 for Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

Do you want to know what to expect in the DLC Stonethorn of the MMORPG ESO? You will turn into werewolf monsters!

A clever trick turns out to be an exploit – Fall Guys therefore bans popular map

Jürgen Horn 20. August 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout recently introduced the new final level Jump Showdown. However, a clever trick turned out to be an exploit, and the developers have temporarily removed the map to find a solution.

What was the problem with the map? The new level and mini-game Jump Showdown was introduced with the first major content patch. It is a revamped version of Jump Club, where your Fall Guys have to jump over rotating arms.

In Jump Showdown, the tiles also occasionally fall off (except for the last two), adding more action. However, with a seemingly clever trick, skilled players managed to jump off the platform and hold onto the edge at the last moment.

https://twitter.com/nenemado/status/1295209553122848769?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1295209553122848769%7Ctwgr%5E&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dexerto.com%2Ffall-guys%2Ffall-guys-removed-jump-showdown-level-after-unfair-exploit-discovered-1408281

This was not so easy due to the wobbly controls of Fall Guys, but those who managed to do it could hang there indefinitely without being bothered by the rotating arms. Even back then, some players warned that this “trick” was an exploit, and developers probably did not want players to just cling to a platform and sit out the actual challenge.

You win even though you do nothing. And what happens if multiple players do this? Does the round go on forever if no one gives up voluntarily?

Developers temporarily remove Jump Showdown map

This is what the developers did: Recently, concerned players reached out via reddit, as the map Jump Showdown suddenly was not present in the final rounds anymore. Following this, there was a statement from Joe Walsh, the lead designer of Fall Guys:

Hey! We forgot to tweet it, but we have removed [Jump Showdown] to fix the problem of endless hanging.
Joe Walsh, Lead Designer

When will the mini-game return? Unfortunately, Walsh did not say anything about this, but it likely won’t be long to find a fix for the problem. It’s essentially just about preventing Fall Guys from hanging onto the platform endlessly.

You can find a list of other mini-games and game modes here:

But even if Jump Showdown was very popular among fans and impressed during the beta, Fall Guys still offers great fun now.

One of them is the streamer TimTheTatman, who is particularly noted for his spectacular fails.

Destiny 2: Is it worth farming Solstice Packages? YouTuber tests it

Philipp Hansen 20. August 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

In Destiny 2, a YouTuber examines the contents of 350 event boxes from the Solstice of Heroes and breaks down how rare the items are.

What are the packages all about? During the summer celebrations 2020, the Solstice of Heroes, players can grab numerous special rewards. Many cosmetics await a buyer in the Eververse, but treasures with random contents also await in the reactivated European Air Zone (EAZ): the Solstice Packages.

Players are now wondering what can be inside the packages and especially how the drop chances for the coveted items look? The main interest for many is likely in the random rolls of the extravagant Solstice Armor.

Examining 350 Event Boxes

YouTuber Rick Kackis has meticulously recorded the contents of 350 Solstice Packages with the help of other Guardians. Based on the drops, he then calculated the percentage chances of the items.

The boxes usually contain more than one item. For example, you can receive an armor piece and an Umbral Engram. By the way, there are also additional Glimmer, planetary materials, and Legendary Shards – these very common resources were not considered in the calculation.

The contents of 350 Solstice Packages looked like this:

305 blue weapons or armors – 87.1 %
112 Solstice armor pieces – 32 %
86 legendary weapons or armors from world drops – 24.6 %
78 enhancement cores – 22.3 %
47 Umbral Engrams – 13.4 %
6 upgrade modules – 1.7 %
2 enhancement prisms – 0.6 %

Keep in mind that the percentage figures are averages and have not been officially confirmed by Bungie. However, with 350 opened boxes, a reasonable picture can be painted.

More on the topic

Upgrade your Destiny 2: Solstice Armor quickly – How to save time in the event

von Philipp Hansen

Is the grind worth it? The chances for Solstice armors actually look better than some Guardians had thought. About every third package has an armor piece waiting for you that potentially has high stats over 60+.

In the EAZ, you receive an average of about 4 to 5 Solstice Packages from the hidden chests per run. A run takes about 10 minutes. The search for mini-bosses (5 minutes) and chests (4 minutes) is always quick. Only the boss fight varies in time – even a mismatched team can beat this in a minute.

If you are aiming for a heavily rolled version of the Solstice Armor, feel free to invest a few extra runs. The other rewards are just nice bonuses, but do not justify a grind.

Pokémon GO: Heatran is the new raid boss – Is it worth it?

Noah Struthoff 20. August 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO, the upcoming Raid Boss has been announced. Heatran will return to the raids. This legendary Pokémon is particularly worthwhile for shiny hunters. We will tell you why.

When will Heatran appear? Starting from August 21st, which is this Friday, Heatran will appear in level 5 raids from 10:00 PM. It will remain available until September 10th at 10:00 PM. You have several weeks to battle it. This means that Genesect will be replaced, which is currently still available.

Heatran has been found multiple times in legendary raids. Now it returns once again.

All about Heatran – How strong will it be?

Here are the stats: To provide a better overview, we will include the stats of Heatran here:

Attack: 251
Defense: 213
HP: 209
Max CP: 3754

Purely from the stats perspective, Heatran isn’t bad at all. The problem lies mainly in its moves. Unfortunately, Heatran doesn’t learn the best fire moves, making competitors significantly stronger even though they have comparable stats.

Are the raids worth it? In terms of usefulness, Heatran is less valuable. There are significantly better fire attackers, making Heatran more of a second choice. However, it’s not incredibly bad either.

Heatran can be shiny, making the raids even more interesting. If you didn’t get a shiny from the last visit of the legendary Pokémon, you can now try your luck again.

So, if you are hoping for a strong fire attacker, you will be disappointed, but if you are still looking for the shiny, you should seize your chance.

Will there also be raid hours? In general, there is a raid hour every Wednesday in Pokémon GO. Therefore, it can be expected during Heatran’s time.

You will have the opportunity to participate in 3 raid hours with Heatran, and the chances are good that you will get a shiny, provided you participate in all raid hours.

A detailed list of the probabilities of shinies, including Heatran, can be found in another article on MeinMMO.

Valorant: New agent kills you meanly through walls – This is what Riot says

Jürgen Horn 20. August 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

In Valorant there is an exploit on the map Split that allows Killjoy to place her turrets under the map. From there, they cover enemies and shoot at them with no chance for retaliation. Now Riot has finally announced a fix.

What does the exploit do? Thanks to a reliably reproducible exploit, the new agent Killjoy can set her turret on the map Split underneath the card. Then it automatically shoots at enemies, without them being able to do much. The constant damage from the turret annoys and ruins the fun for many players on Split. You constantly lose health and might die if the turret unexpectedly hits you in the back during a fight.

Retaliation was only possible if you could still shoot the submerged turret down at a specific spot by the point “Market” thanks to Wallbanging. And the enemy allowed that without interruption.

Patch 1.06 is supposed to fix everything

This is how the developers react: Since such an exploit clearly destroys the game, the developers at Riot became aware of it. Riot employee Morello announced via Twitter that they would take action. Soon after, another employee announced that the fix would be implemented in the upcoming patch 1.06.

When is Patch 1.06 coming? This update is scheduled for today, August 20, 2020. It will be rolled out throughout the day.

What about other maps and the exploit? Since the exploit worked so well on Split, it raises the question of whether it can also happen on other maps. So far, the exploit has only been confirmed on Split, but it might be possible elsewhere too.

Resourceful players are sure to be looking for a way to reproduce the effect elsewhere. Let’s hope that despite all efforts, it was only possible on Split and that the patch wipes this nuisance out for good.

This is how you play Killjoy properly: How to optimally utilize Killjoy and her turrets, grenades, and traps without resorting to unfair exploits and bugs, you can find out here with us. In our Guide to the German agent Killjoy, we have explained all her skills and show you how to use her optimally and with whom the tinkerer works particularly well.

CoD 2020 is called Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War – Reveal next week

Sven Galitzki 20. August 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

6 Days full of Easter Eggs and puzzles have now led to a new teaser for Call of Duty 2020. Here, for the first time, the name and the reveal date of the game are officially confirmed.

What’s the teaser all about? For a long time, there were only leaks and rumors, but in the last few days, things finally started to move around Call of Duty 2020.

What started with strange packages that some streamers received led over the last 6 days through numerous puzzles to a new teaser website and ultimately to the first trailer for the upcoming CoD installment.

https://youtu.be/zVSP9BM1o5Q

The new teaser reveals about Call of Duty 2020

Even though the trailer initially appears like a historical film – it did offer a few solid details about the new CoD.

The official name: At the end of the trailer, the official name of the upcoming CoD 2020 was revealed. The new installment is officially called Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War.

This has confirmed the Doritos leak. A planned promotional action had leaked there, where this name appeared.

The official reveal date: We now finally know when Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War will officially be revealed. The reveal will take place worldwide on August 26, which is already next week.

And many have been eagerly waiting for this. Because no “Call of Duty” installment has been revealed as late as the new CoD 2020.

Also interesting – the potential reveal location: It is now apparently also known where the reveal will take place. Numerous fans, players, and experts have speculated that the reveal could happen in the Warzone or at least be closely related to it.

And it looks like it could really happen that way. Because the trailer named “Know your History” was shared on the official YouTube channel of Call of Duty. And in the video description, it says among other things “Verdansk. August 26”.

Verdansk is a fictional city from the Modern Warfare universe, on which the Battle Royale map Call of Duty: Warzone is based. Verdansk is thus the game world of Warzone. This is the first official hint that the reveal will apparently take place there. When exactly (time) and in what form (possible in-game event), is still officially unknown.

PKCarnage writes on Steam: “Great game, damn good co-op experience. The gunplay is solid and the modifications from the bosses make this game a blast.”
Tuvao says: “After 65 hours, I finally finished the game on the difficulty ‘Apocalypse’. I must say, Remnant: From the Ashes is an excellent game.”
S̸hu̴r̷aB̷̛l̵a̶c̷k̶ views the game somewhat critically: “Remnant is mostly beautifully designed and has a highly addictive gameplay at the start. Because there is a rotation of boss fights, it is also worth quickly replaying the game multiple times to see who you have to face this time. But that brings us to the biggest problem why the rating is negative. The story can easily be completed in one day, and after a maximum of two days, everything you want to see and have is gone.”

Will you get Remnant: From the Ashes from the Epic Games Store? Or do you already own the game?

There are still some other online shooters that we can recommend for 2020. Which ones they are, you can read in the MeinMMO list “The 11 Best Multiplayer Online Shooters 2020 for PS4, Xbox One, PC“.

Players find the first official trailer for CoD 2020 – Watch it here

Benedict Grothaus 19. August 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

Resourceful players have cracked some codes in Call of Duty: Warzone and finally released the first official trailer titled “Know Your History” for the upcoming CoD 2020. This is a non-listed video on YouTube that alludes to the Cold War and hints at the title Call of Duty: Black Ops – Cold War.

This is the trailer: The video features a series of clips from the USA, American soldiers, war, and protests by Communists in the USA. At the end, there is the confirmation that many players have been waiting for: Call of Duty: Black Ops – Cold War / Global reveal on August 26.

It includes a real interview with KGB defector and Soviet journalist Yuri Bezmenov (thumbnail). We have embedded it for you here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVSP9BM1o5Q&feature=youtu.be

Bezmenov explains how it works when a system is infiltrated, specifically that of the USA by the Communists. The first step is demoralization, followed by destabilization, crisis, and finally normalization. He ends with the words:

The time bomb is ticking. With every second, disaster comes closer and closer. The danger is real.

The video displays the following: “Know your history or be doomed to repeat it.” If you want to check out the leaks and the Easter egg related to the trailer hunt, visit here:

von Maik Schneider

What does the video mean? The interview with Bezmenov is famous for the Cold War era. As a defector from the KGB, Bezmenov spent much of his life warning the West, particularly the USA, about communism.

The video indicates that all of this is based on true events. Therefore, it is highly likely that previous leaks are truthful. Possibly even the Doritos leak, which sets the release for early October.

However, detailed information about the upcoming CoD and its content is still not available. According to the video description, more information and the global reveal will be on August 26. Additionally, the date mentions “Verdansk,” which could hint at the Warzone and its connection to the presentation.

Players crack lengthy puzzles for the first trailer

The journey to this trailer was very long and began with strange packages that some streamers received. It has been said for some time that the new CoD would be announced within Warzone and that clues were hidden on the map. The community has spent many days piecing together the parts.

Numerous puzzles needed to be solved that emerged gradually. They were already inspired by the work of spies, where players had to crack codes, decode messages, and find specific items. All of this eventually led them to the video that you can see above.

7 stars that could get the best cards in FIFA 21

Max Handwerk 19. August 2020 Reading time 5 minutes

Until we learn the ratings of all players in FIFA 21, it will probably take a little longer. Nevertheless, there are a few candidates who will certainly be among the top players in the game. Here are 7 players who will be ranked high in the next FIFA.

How do players make it onto the list? Since there are no official values for FIFA 21 yet, we’ll take a look at the real performances of the players. Who stood out the most? Who celebrated great successes?

Additionally, it is essential to consider the previous FIFA values. Therefore, we also look at the values in FIFA 20 to identify the candidates for the best cards in FIFA 21. This is how the selection of the following 7 players comes about.

One more note: Goalkeepers like Jan Oblak and Alisson have been left out of this selection for now. We also did not include the icons in FIFA 21. This selection focuses solely on active field players.

Lionel Messi

Here’s why Messi is a candidate: Clearly, when it comes to the best players in FIFA 21, one cannot overlook the multiple frontrunner. Messi has been described as the best player in the world for years and consistently justifies this with his performances. Even this year, he scored 25 goals in 33 league matches and provided 21 assists. In FIFA 20, he had the highest rating with his 94-rated card.

However, despite his good values, Messi did not have the best season with Barcelona. The Spanish championship was surrendered to Real Madrid, and Barcelona suffered a shocking defeat against Bayern (with 8:2!) in the Champions League. Moreover, Messi is now 33 years old – and typically, the FIFA rating of players over 30 tends to decrease. It is conceivable that Messi will not secure the first position this year – although he will surely receive a strong card.

Cristiano Ronaldo

Here’s why Ronaldo is a candidate: If you say A, you must also say B – and if you mention Messi, you must do the same with Ronaldo. Messi’s eternal rival for the World Footballer title had a rating of 93 and was the second-best player in FIFA 20. In the league, he won the Italian championship with Juventus and scored 31 goals in 33 matches. The man still scores at will.

But the same arguments apply to Ronaldo as to Messi: he is now 35 years old, and he was eliminated with Juve in the Round of 16 against Lyon. He will certainly still receive a very good card above 90 – but will that be enough for one of the top two spots? After all, there are a few more candidates.

Neymar

Here’s why Neymar is a candidate: Neymar has long been regarded as the great promise of world football. The Brazilian can do everything with the ball, is a goal threat, and undeniably has a strong presence on the field. However, he has repeatedly attracted attention for his difficult behavior both on and off the pitch. And with Paris Saint-Germain, he has almost notoriously missed early successes in the Champions League. Until this year.

Currently, Neymar is in the final of this year’s competition. The team around the Brazilian has come together – and Neymar himself has also impressed with his performance. In FIFA 20, he was the third-best player behind Messi and Ronaldo. If PSG should win the Champions League, it could be another step forward for Neymar.

Kylian Mbappé

Here’s why Mbappé is a candidate: Since we’re already talking about PSG, Kylian Mbappé must not be overlooked. The French superstar is already a world champion at 21, a two-time top scorer in France, and of course, like Neymar, also represented in the Champions League final.

Furthermore, Mbappé is the cover star for FIFA 21 – and this is usually an indicator of strong ratings. The striker is among the fastest and most dangerous players in FIFA 20, but narrowly missed the top 10 of the best players with an overall rating of 89. We are confident: This will not happen to him in FIFA 21.

Virgil van Dijk

Here’s why van Dijk is a candidate: While Mbappé graces the cover this year, van Dijk was one of the three stars of FIFA 20. With his rating of 90, he was already the best defender in the game and is sure to improve this value in FIFA 21. After all, he was one of the key players who helped Liverpool secure the English championship after years of waiting.

Van Dijk accumulated special cards en masse in FUT 20, and even in FIFA 21, he will be among the absolute top players. It’s just unlikely that he will receive the best card in the game – partly because offensive players are typically prioritized here.

Robert Lewandowski

Here’s why Lewandowski is a candidate: It’s the eternal story with the striker of FC Bayern. For years, fans have considered him underrated in FIFA, and last year he even received a downgrade to 89 that no one could understand. No wonder that this year he is among the Bundesliga players who urgently need better ratings.

Because Lewandowski is an absolute goal machine: he scored 34 goals in 31 Bundesliga matches. An incredible 14 goals in 8 Champions League matches – subject to the semi-final against Lyon – were added. Many even consider him a candidate for the World Footballer title – and in the Champions League, he still has a chance for the title. It’s hard to believe that the striker won’t be at least in the top 10 of the best players next year. The only counter-argument: that was actually already the case in FIFA 20.

Kevin de Bruyne

Here’s why de Bruyne is a candidate: Kevin De Bruyne was already one of the best players overall last year with his rating of 91. And he has impressed again this year: In the league, he scored 13 times and provided 20 additional assists. With these assists, he matched the record of Arsenal legend Thierry Henry.

Even though Manchester City had to concede to Liverpool in the title race this year and bid farewell in the Champions League against Lyon: De Bruyne is at 29 years old in the prime of his career and has consistently impressed with his performance throughout the year. It is unlikely that his rating of 91 will be downgraded – and thus he would definitely remain one of the best players in the game.

Which players ultimately rank highest will likely only be revealed in the coming weeks. Here you can find all the currently known information about FIFA 21.
