A new action game on Steam has over 45,000 concurrent players just days after release. The first reviews are also full of praise.
What game is this about? It is Shape of Dreams, a new action game. This combines the roguelite genre with MOBA influences: Hades meets League of Legends, one could say. The whole thing is being developed by the Korean studio Lizard Smoothie.
Shape of Dreams takes place in a dream world, where you hack your way through dangerous monsters. You can do this either solo or in co-op with up to 4 players. You choose one of 8 heroes, each offering their own combat style and a variety of builds.

Players on Steam can’t get enough
How is the game currently being received? Apart from major titles like Borderlands 4, Shape of Dreams is celebrating one of the currently best releases on Steam:
The game had over 23,000 concurrent players on Steam on its first day (according to steamdb.info)
By September 14, Shape of Dreams increased and reached its current peak of over 45,000 concurrent players
Of 3,530 reviews (as of September 16, 14:18), 81% are positive. The game thus receives an overall rating of “very positive” on Steam
The reviews praise, among other things, the great variety of options without overwhelming newcomers to the genre. “A well-rounded game that surprises, challenges, and remains accessible at the same time. A clear recommendation from me!”, writes a player in their Steam review.
Another Steam review says: “Shape of Dreams is so awesome that after a few hours of grinding you no longer know if you are still playing or already hypnotized. […] With friends, it gets completely wild.”
“9 hours sunken into it immediately after purchase. Gameplay is really fun, it’s challenging and the meta-progression is also great! […] 10/10!”, states another review on Steam.
Those who want to try Shape of Dreams before buying can still download a demo of the game on Steam. Until September 24, the game is also available with a 20% discount. So it costs only 19.60 € instead of the usual 24.50 €.
Currently, Team GO Rocket is back in takeover mode in Pokémon GO. We have looked at which strong monsters you should definitely catch here.
Since September 16, 2025, the Psychic Spectacle: Takeover has been running in Pokémon GO. During this event, you can challenge Giovanni again and steal a legendary Crypto monster from him. However, the other Rocket bosses and Grunts are also active in large numbers during the event.
We have put together some strong monsters that you should definitely catch in the current event. Due to the high number of Rockets in the game, you can hunt and collect the strong monsters much more easily than usual.
Important: When you click on a Rocket Grunt in the game, they will first greet you with a message. After the greeting, you will see another line from the Grunt, under which you can also start the battle. These lines are important if you want to hunt monsters specifically.

Not everything in World of Warcraft is self-explanatory. Some objects in the capital have a long story – that hardly anyone knows about today.
World of Warcraft has existed for over 20 years and those who now dive into the game world will not understand everything right away. The world has changed frequently and some monument or object in the environment can cause confusion. Sometimes it requires the help of veterans to explain seemingly obvious things.

Which object is it about? In the WoW subreddit, thilkerbaumer asked what the large reddish-brown object in Stormwind is that is displayed by the lake. He received the question from a coworker who had looked into the game again after many years. However, the thread creator did not know the answer himself and could not find it in the game’s wiki. Luckily, there are veterans who could explain it:

“That is a jaw fragment of Deathwing. We defeated him in Dragon Soul at the end of Cataclysm.”
Displaying parts of dragons has a long tradition in World of Warcraft. Even the heads of Onyxia and Nefarian were displayed in Stormwind back then. It is not surprising that a part of Deathwing is given the same “honor”.
Can you learn this in the game? Yes, the information is still all available. You can still simply walk into the raid “Dragon Soul” and take down Deathwing to find exactly this fragment of Deathwing’s jaw – because that is where the loot from the boss fight is.
Alternatively, you could also simply approach the jaw fragment in Stormwind and keep your eyes peeled. Because below the fragment stands Chromie (one of her many versions) and also reveals what the fragment is about. However, the gnome is extremely small compared to the item, so you might overlook her.

Do you want to play Harlowe in Borderlands 4? Here is an interesting build to get into the game with a lot of damage.
Harlowe is the “Gravitar”. She is a technician with a Maliwan background, and that makes her enemies feel it too.
With her various gadgets, Harlowe is quite versatile when it comes to dealing damage. Like the other Vault Hunters, she also has three skill trees and action skills that you can upgrade.
However, it can be quite overwhelming at the beginning. In which direction should you skill Harlowe? YouTuber Moxsy has an answer: The content creator was able to invest 150 hours in Borderlands 4 before the game’s release and tried out various builds.
In doing so, he also found one for Harlowe that is well suited for the start of the game. We will briefly summarize it for you here.
Update from September 17, 2025: We have structurally adjusted the post.
Start video
Borderlands 4: Cineastischer Launch-Trailer zelebriert den Release
Harlowe build with high damage to quickly eliminate many enemies
Moxsy focuses on the CHROMA accelerator from the “Creative Boosts” skill tree. This ability fires an “unstable energy orb” that distributes cryo damage to nearby enemies. Upon pressing a button, the orb then explodes and deals heavy radiation damage.
This ability is what the content creator relies on and also structures his skill tree to deal a lot of radiation and cryo damage with the Chroma accelerator. Additionally, the build leverages Harlowe’s “Entanglement” ability. If she hits enemies with the action skill, they become “entangled” and share damage with other entangled enemies. This way, you can quickly take down many foes.
You can watch Moxsy’s video here. We summarize the skill distribution for you below. In the video, you will also see weapons, specializations, and gear that match the build.

The build aims to deal a lot of damage. The first 27 levels look as follows:
The first 5 points go into the passive skill “Operational Prototype.” This increases action skill damage.
The upgrade “Neutron Catch” is chosen next. This upgrade stores part of the damage caused by the energy orb and transfers it as bonus radiation damage to Harlowe’s weapon. According to Moxsy, this is one of the key points of the build.
The next five points go into “Elemental.” This passive skill increases Harlowe’s elemental and status effect damage.
Then 5 points into “Test Subjects.” Here the action skill cooldown is decreased when you inflict status effects on enemies.
5 points into Poisoned Sun: Increased radiation damage and radiation chance.
3 points into Chain Reactor to distribute additional radiation damage.
3 points into Splitter to fire additional radiation arrows when you damage irradiated or entangled enemies.
Final point: Demon Core. This skill adds radiation arrows to the unstable energy orb. When Harlowe “entangles” enemies with her ability, they will suffer radiation damage as long as the action skill is active.
Dirty Bomb: Enemies suffer a radiation explosion when irradiated.
At level 27, the build looks as follows:
The next 5 points go into “Make Extraordinary” from the skill tree “Make the Most of Every Day.” This way, you increase your skills’ crit chance.
Back to the Creative Boosts tree. 5 points into “One in Mind” – this may entangle more enemies.
1 point into “Breaking the Ice” – every damage from your Chroma Accelerator becomes cryo damage. This way, you convert some of your radiation damage to the Cryo element to damage more shields.
5 points into Mechanical Brilliance. This stacks your skill damage.
5 points into “Radiant Future” from the “Make the Most of Every Day” tree. This provides increased fire rate when activating the action skill.
1 point into “Wave Effect”: every entangled enemy that dies through Harlowe entangles another enemy.
With these skills, you build a setup that is well-suited for both mobs and bosses.
Harlowe is a powerful Vault Hunter who is very well suited for starting the game. However, our MeinMMO editor Dariusz Müller chose a different character: He started his Borderlands journey with the Forge Knight Amon. We have his build here for you: With this build for Amon, I played through Borderlands 4 solo.

The developers of Diablo 4 have provided insight into Season 10, which starts in September. While there will be no new Mythic Uniques, the new items can actually be even better. We summarize the highlights from the patch notes for Patch 2.4.0 for you.
During the recent “Campfire Chat” livestream on September 16, 2025, Blizzard offered a glimpse into the new season. Season 10 starts on September 23, 2025 and brings new content to Diablo 4:
“Hellish Chaos” is the theme of the season, and it revolves around chaos. There will be chaos powers that enhance and affect your builds.
The hell hordes are getting an update, where plenty of goblins can spawn. Additionally, there will be a “smaller version” of the hell hordes that you can use even at early levels.
Bosses no longer have immunity phases; instead, they will build a shield at certain points during the fight.
On top of that, there will be several new Uniques for the six classes – but not (only) in the usual way. And these new Uniques can actually be stronger than the coveted Mythic Uniques.
The new Chaos Uniques will be added to Season 10 with Patch 2.4.0. You can find the very detailed German patch notes on page 2 of the article.
Start video
Diablo 4 shows the new features in Season 10 in the gameplay trailer
“Target Farming” of Chaos Uniques is possible, but not the main idea
This is what the new Uniques are about: The new Chaos Armor is a stronger version of already existing Uniques. They drop for different item slots, creating new possibilities for builds and playstyles. However, you can only equip one version of a Unique and thus cannot combine the normal version with the Chaos version.
Game designer Aislyn Hall revealed that the team initially did play with the idea of allowing double versions at the same time. But that was simply “way too broken.”
In the livestream, game designer Charles Dunn explained that currently no changes have been made to the Mythic Uniques. In future seasons, they plan to adjust them, but the focus is now on the Chaos Uniques. His statement: “In some cases, Chaos Armor items are even better than Mythics – depending on the slot and build.”
Chaos Uniques drop with “Maxroll” and at least one major affix.The “Fists of Fate” are also available as chest armor.
Where do I get the Chaos Uniques? You get the Chaos Uniques among other places in the Hell Hordes when you defeat the boss Bartuc. At Torment levels 3 and 4, Chaos Uniques drop guaranteed, while on Torment 1 and 2, there is a small chance. However, you cannot trade or swap the items with other players. As the graphics show, they are account-bound.
But with a vendor, according to Aislyn Hall, you have the chance to obtain Chaos Uniques. The game designer says: “You can go to the ‘Gambler’ and if you specifically look for a chest armor or whatever and just roll through, eventually a Chaos Armor will drop – and that will be in the chest slot. This way you can farm deliberately.”
However, the basic idea remains that drops should feel random and organic. Blizzard wants players to be surprised and feel that the world is alive.
Even at the announcement, the Chaos Uniques generated excitement. Many players are looking forward to the new build options and the fresh dynamics that the items could bring to the game. Some even hope that the seasonal items will remain permanently in Diablo 4 because they could shake up the meta significantly. What Chaos Uniques will be available, you can find out here: Season 10 brings several new Uniques to Diablo 4, but differently than you think

With the start of EA FC 26, many packs are being opened and you are wondering how to recognize the strongest cards in Ultimate Team this year. On MeinMMO, we will tell you how to easily notice a Walkout in advance.
What are Walkouts in EA FC? Walkouts are referred to in Ultimate Team as players with a rating of at least 86. In the special pack animation, these professionals emerge behind their card (hence the name Walkout) and can be celebrated.
Especially at the beginning of EA FC, these cards are highly sought after because they are rarer and often more valuable than most other cards.
Starting from Tuesday evening (September 16, 2025), the first streamers will open countless packs and let their fans participate in the pack openings.
How to recognize a Walkout in FC 26? You can easily recognize a Walkout in FC 26. After you open the pack in the shop, the camera shows the left wall of the player tunnel from a distance on the right side. Then, the camera pans to the end of the player tunnel, where the star reveals himself in his silhouette.
Twitch streamer EliasN97 points to the new Walkout animation.
After that, the camera zooms alternately onto different banners. The player’s attributes are displayed to you in the following order:
Position
Nation
League
Club
In the end, the card initially appears without a player image, but with stats and the PlayStyle+ (if available). Then the rating counts up, and finally, the full card along with image and rating appears. In the end, the pulled professional shows up and performs a celebration in front of his card.
Start video
Deep Dive trailer on gameplay shows 2 different gameplays and numerous adjustments
What other pack animations are there?
How do the other pack animations differ from the Walkout? In addition to the Walkout, there are also Board Players and regular Gold cards.
Board Cards (Rating 83 to 85): The camera zooms in the player tunnel immediately on the banner with the position; there is no distant camera angle on the player tunnel. Presentation of attributes is the same as for a Walkout.
Gold Cards (Rating 75 to 82): There is no player tunnel. The card appears immediately on the screen. Only the rating and player image show up a short time later.
Silver and Bronze cards do not receive any special animations like regular Gold cards up to rating 82.
How have the animations changed compared to FC 25? In FC 25, you initially saw the player tunnel from the front in the case of a Board Player or a Walkout. At the end of the tunnel, the silhouette of the player was visible for a relatively long time.
The silhouette of the player is only briefly visible in FC 26. The jerky camera perspectives, which gradually reveal attributes such as position, nation, league, and club, are similar to the predecessor.
Recognizing Walkouts is therefore as easy as it has ever been. It gets exciting when you pull special Walkouts like Icons, Heroes, Team of the Weeks, or other promo cards. As soon as we receive the first pictures here, we will add the appearance and recognition of such Walkouts. The biggest changes at the start for Ultimate Team in FC 26 have been thoroughly presented by EA: EA FC 26: Pitch Notes show dozens of new features – the most important changes at a glance

The flop of the Steam game MindsEye has been a disappointment not only for the players but also for the staff. While the over 300 developers who worked on the project for years had to face a setback, actors were also affected.
Who is it about? Alex Hernandez is an actor who was excited to become the face of the video game MindsEye. The third-person shooter focused on a cinematic and narrative single-player campaign full of shootouts and chases sounded really good on paper.
With Hernandez in the lead role of “Jacob Diaz,” a former soldier with a mysterious implant, the game was meant to thrive on the actor’s skills. However, in a new interview, Hernandez talks about the problems he faced due to the project.
Here you can see gameplay of MindsEye:

MindsEye becomes a flop, with Hernandez as the face
How did the game become a flop? Right from the start of MindsEye, players were faced with major technical difficulties. There were countless bugs, glitches, and disastrous performance. Quickly, players felt as if they were playing a game in Early Access, even though they had paid 60 € for it.
To this day, MindsEye has only a rating of 37% positive reviews on Steam and is thus “mostly negative”. The subsequent patches have helped the game, but even the recent reviews show the title with only 50% positive ratings (as of 16.09.2025, 19:25 CEST).
Aside from the technical issues, the game was also torn apart content-wise by fans. Players complained about an empty open world, boring gameplay, and monotonous missions (via play3.de). All of this also affected Alex Hernandez.
What does the actor say about the flop? In a new interview with Frvr, Alex Hernandez spoke about the release of the game and how he experienced it as the face of the title. “It’s hard. I won’t pretend otherwise,” Hernandez said. Not only for himself, mind you, but “for the around 300 employees of Build A Rocket Boy. You think: ‘I hope this goes really well.’ I want them all to get a raise, have a huge party, and for this job to be the start of their careers.”
Although he claims to have developed a “pretty thick skin,” it was very tough for him. He explains in the interview:
It was two days full of ‘crap.’ Only because of the reactions, not because of the work itself… I thought: ‘I might never work in a game again.’
Because one of the dangers of being the face on the packaging is that people, rightly or wrongly, will associate all their opinions and, more importantly, their emotions regarding this game with my face…
My name is now associated with something that a lot of people perceive as pretty awful. And as an artist, as a person, as a gamer, that hurts, it’s incredibly painful.
A player has set himself an unusual challenge in Minecraft. For this, he has already spent 14 years and collected almost half a million US dollars.
What did the player need 14 years for? The journey of the player named KurtJMacs began on March 7, 2011. He set himself the goal of reaching the so-called “Far Lands” in Minecraft on foot and in survival mode.
The Far Lands are a legendary terrain glitch from Minecraft Beta 1.7.3. Starting at a distance of about 12,550,821 blocks from the starting point, the world generation began to calculate “incorrectly”. Instead of normal landscapes, huge, chaotic formations emerged: gigantic walls, deep chasms, and bizarre patterns that sprawled like an endless wall across the world.
On his YouTube channel, he shares his journey under the title “Minecraft Far Lands or Bust”. He has raised nearly $500,000 (equivalent to about €400,000) for charitable projects such as Child’s Play, Direct Relief, the Progressive Animal Welfare Society, and the Equal Justice Initiative.
He has published over 53 episodes of his series and regularly shares content with his community that showcases his journey. Now, after 14 years, he still has not reached his goal, but a watching YouTuber is firmly convinced: It will happen soon.

Is the “magic point” about to be reached?
Why does the YouTuber believe KurtJMacs is close? As YouTuber AntVenom shares in his video, he is very certain that KurtJMacs will soon reach his goal. He is so sure because he has “calculated” and that, even though the player has rarely pressed the F3 key, which shows him his coordinates.
According to AntVenom, KurtJMacs only needs about 200,000 blocks more to reach the Far Lands. He calculated this based on how much time elapsed between pressing the F3 key and pressing it again, and how many blocks he must have traveled in that time according to his coordinates.
In his estimates, he comes to the conclusion that KurtJMacs still has about 24 hours of walking left. Since his episodes are all about 3 hours long, he believes that the player will finally reach his goal in episode 60.
In his opinion, the “magic point” will be reached soon, and KurtJMacs would thus have achieved “one of the greatest achievements in the entire Minecraft and gaming history”.
The anime MMORPG Blue Protocol: Star Resonance has announced its release and is coming out even earlier than anyone expected.
What kind of MMORPG is this? Blue Protocol: Star Resonance is the reincarnation of the anime MMORPG Blue Protocol by Bandai Namco. For the subtitle “Star Resonance”, the new developers from Tencent have completely rebuilt the MMORPG. With a few exceptions, the game now only resembles the previous work visually.
In terms of style, Blue Protocol: Star Resonance is a theme park MMORPG that aims to impress with fast-paced dungeons, powerful world bosses, and a beautiful community system with housing and guilds.
If you want to play your character to the top, you can look forward to a master dungeon system similar to Mythic+ from World of Warcraft, which encourages many hours of dungeon grinding. However, before the grind can start, the game must first be released. Now the developers are revealing when that will be.
Here you can watch the trailer for Blue Protocol: Star Resonance:

From beta to release
When does the MMORPG start? The anime MMORPG was in closed beta in the West until September 8, 2025. Although the game has been available in China for some time, the developers wanted to test the localization of their version first.
The developers seemed satisfied with their work, as they have already set the release of their game for almost exactly one month later, on October 9, 2025. Interested players can already pre-register on the website playbpsr.com and benefit from some launch bonuses. That the game starts so early and without further delays after the beta was something hardly anyone expected.
How does the MMORPG play? MeinMMO author Cedric Holmeier has already tested the new anime MMORPG in beta for 50 hours, and he finds:
Blue Protocol: Star Resonance has strengths and weaknesses. Those looking for a new MMORPG to play for up to 2 hours a day will be very happy here. The world is beautiful, and the characters and outfit designs really immerse you in the anime world.
On the negative side, there was a heavy pay-to-win scheme present in the beta. Whether it was gacha, trading with real money in the auction house, or battle passes and VIP systems, everything was there. There was also a certain degree of auto-combat and auto-navigation, which likely stemmed from crossplay with iOS and Android.
Nevertheless, as a free-to-play player, it was always possible to keep up in the game, and the game never set the bar so high that you would be left behind without spending money. However, those expecting the next World of Warcraft, Final Fantasy XIV, or Guild Wars 2 from Blue Protocol: Star Resonance will not find it. The target audience is players who want to achieve a lot with their limited time and for whom an MMORPG can also come to an end in a day.

Dispatch captivates with an unusual premise and drew players into its demo. The game now finally has a release date for Steam and PS5.
When and how will Dispatch be released? The first part of Dispatch is set to release on October 22, 2025, for PC and PS5. This will kick off the “superhero comedy strategy game” with the release of 2 episodes per week over a span of 4 weeks.
You won’t be able to play Dispatch in its entirety at launch, but instead, you will experience it like a series over a certain period. And there is a specific reason for this, says Creative Director Nick Herman:
“The episodic format makes it easy to dive into the story, keep track of it, and share it with friends. We want the release of Dispatch to be a ‘scheduled gaming’ experience, but with the weekly cadence of a TV show, rather than asking people to wait months between releases.”
Dispatch – Trailer for the demo of the superhero game by former Telltale developers
As a former superhero at the desk
What kind of game is Dispatch? Dispatch is a wild mix that the developers describe as a “superhero workplace comedy where decisions matter.” You take on the role of former superhero Robert Robertson, who can no longer work as such and instead takes a desk job in a dispatch center.
You lead a team of former villains who are supposed to help citizens in emergencies. Emergency calls are answered, cats are rescued from trees, and thieves are caught – sometimes more successfully than others. You decide which team member goes on which mission while keeping an eye on their skills, abilities, and personalities.
You will also collect experience points and can upgrade your team. The game is filled with vulgar, sharp, and quirky humor, a charming comic art style, and well-known voice actors like Aaron Paul, Jeffrey Wright, and Laura Bailey. In the cinematic story, you will also have to make various decisions that change the course of the narrative.
A new game on Steam promises heated battles against monsters, stunning graphics, and the thrill of losing everything if you fail in your journey through dangerous dungeons. We present to you Mistfall Hunters.
What is Mistfall Hunters? Mistfall Hunter is a PvPvE extraction RPG from a third-person perspective, developed by Bellring Games. Those who take a look at the latest trailer will notice similarities to Elden Ring and Dark and Darker, as the setting takes place in a dark fantasy world.
You take on the role of a Gyldenjäger, venturing into various dungeons, taking everything you can get your hands on, only to escape alive – if you are good enough, of course. Those who are unlucky will lose everything. The trailer gives you a closer look at what to expect in the game. If you’re still not convinced, you can participate in the beta.

Beta starts and you can participate and test
When does the beta start? The beta for Mistfall Hunter starts on September 16, 2025. How long it will last is still not entirely clear. To participate in the beta, you need to request access on Steam. Note that access is limited, and you should hurry if you want to participate.
What can I expect in Mistfall Hunter? You can choose one of the classes before your ventures, which can define your play style. There is a ranged fighter with a bow, a wizard, a cleric, a warrior, and a class with daggers for quick maneuvers.
Once you’ve chosen a class, you can decide between two weapons and combat styles and create your own build from over 10 skills. The more successful you become in your forays, the better items you will receive to become stronger.
Additionally, you can also play the game in co-op mode. Therefore, your choice of class is crucial, as this is the only way you can stand against tough opponents and other players – they want to defeat you and claim your loot.
Is there already a release? Unfortunately not. According to Steam, the game is set to release in 2025, but when exactly this will happen is not known. To pass the time, you can play the beta and see for yourself how the game is. If you are looking for the best souls-like games instead?

The Twitch streamer Maximilian Schradin was invited by a German TV show for a cameo appearance, but he declined. The reason: He does not want to be confronted with his past anymore.
How did Maximilian Schradin become famous? Before Maximilian Schradin became a Twitch streamer about a year ago, he was regularly seen as a TV presenter. In the early 2000s, he hosted various call-in quiz shows, including on the TV channel 9Live.
These were quiz shows that posed seemingly simple tasks to encourage viewers to call in. These calls cost a cent per minute, which the callers had to pay.
Since Maximilian Schradin often had outbursts during the quiz shows because he seemed angry when no one guessed the answer, he drew a lot of attention.
These are the 5 most relevant German streamers on Twitch in 2024, according to Google
“The times are over”
Why does Maximilian Schradin decline the appearance? In a Twitch stream from September 10, 2025, Maximilian Schradin recounts that he was invited by TV Total for a cameo appearance. According to him, it was supposed to be a brief appearance in the style of the old call-in shows. A kind of “9Live revival”.
The Twitch streamer was to play himself in his old role as a TV presenter. However, he did not want to do that and refused live in the stream. A cameo appearance is “not really his thing” and he added: “The times are over” (source: twitch.tv from minute 00:23:58).
Maximilian Schradin is apparently interested in another type of appearance, but not like that. He concludes (source: twitch.tv from minute 00:24:50):
The joke is eventually played out. (…) Don’t invite Schradin to host a Hot Button, but invite Schradin because he makes cool content, cool interactions in live streams, and shapes cool projects on social media in the last two or three years (…)
Due to his age (47), which is higher than the average of the most famous Twitch streamers (about 29 years), he is often seen as the “senior” in German Twitch, similar to MontanaBlack. This gives Maximilian Schradin a recognizable value, and the former TV presenter has found his place in German Twitch.
Apparently, he does not want to give this up anymore and does not want to deal extensively with his past. The chapter seems to be closed for Maximilian Schradin.
Baldur’s Gate 3 impresses its players time and again with all the different possibilities in the game that Larian Studios has thought of, no matter how rare they may be. However, amidst all the attention to detail, a rather banal thing has been overlooked, which players find very disappointing.
What do players find so disappointing? In the third act of Baldur’s Gate 3, when you’ve already made it to the namesake city, you are quickly overwhelmed by the crowd of people and other races. The streets are filled with merchants, travelers, but also very poor people who crouch by the roadside.
Two of these poor NPCs are a mother and her child, who stand near the Heapside Beach and ask passersby for some gold. The mother says that she only needs a little gold to take care of her sick child, who seems very weak when you speak to it.
Unfortunately, players found out that there is no way in the game to help the mother and child with a small donation. Many in the community find that really disappointing, but it also makes them become creative.
Here you can see the animated short film for Patch 8 of Baldur’s Gate 3:
Start video

Larian forgets a banal mechanic amidst all the diversity
How do players still want to help the needy? Players find it disappointing that certain NPCs with “simple” problems cannot be helped. In a Reddit-Post in the subreddit of Baldur’s Gate 3, for example, a druid is mentioned who is worried about a small tree in the city, and the players would simply like to help him.
In exchange, the begging mother is also mentioned. Player Ripkord77 asks if there is any way to help her (via Reddit), which is denied by spacey_a: “Unfortunately, there is no way to help them that is recognized by the game. I find that disappointing. […] Normally, I secretly slip them some gold in their pockets and pretend they could buy a cure with it” (via Reddit).
What spacey_a means by that: By stealthily trying to pickpocket the target and opening the inventory of the robbed (or in this case “gifted”) person, you can place items from your own inventory into theirs. The mother won’t recognize it, but it seems to give the player some peace of mind.
Can the druid and his tree also be “helped” indirectly? So far, players have found no solution for the druid and his little tree. Even if you approach the druid as a druid yourself or with Halsin or Jaheira, there is no way to help. Nevertheless, players have ideas about why the tree is doing so poorly.
It is located right next to Mystic Carrion, an undead mummy that lets enough ghouls and corpses (or corpse parts) reside in the adjacent estate that could affect the health of the surrounding fauna (Atlas_Flynn via Reddit).
A player buys an old gaming PC for 84 euros. With a new graphics card, he can get significantly more out of the hardware. However, that doesn’t change the fact that the PC is overall hopelessly outdated.
What did the player buy?In a Reddit post a user explained that he bought an old gaming PC for 100 US dollars. That is about 84 euros. He himself judges the age of the purchased PC by the age of the hardware, as the CPU installed originally appeared in 2009.
What hardware is in the PC?
Motherboard: Asus Rampage III Extreme
Processor: Intel i7 950
Graphics card: GT 750 Ti
RAM: 16 GB (DDR3)
Could one still play with the old hardware? The GT 750 Ti was released in 2014 and is not much younger than the installed Intel processor. From today’s perspective, no modern title can be played with it at high details anymore. In particular, in conjunction with the old CPU, which eventually limits a modern graphics card. For some e-sports titles like Counter-Strike or Dota 2, the hardware is still sufficient.

Player replaces old graphics card with a used GTX 1070 Ti
What did the user do? In a further post on Reddit the user explained that he improved the computer with a simple upgrade: He replaced the GT 750 Ti with a GTX 1070 Ti, which he still had from a broken PC at home. You can find a used GTX 1070 Ti for about 100 euros on eBay or similar platforms. And all the older games that he can get running on the upgraded PC show reasonable FPS rates according to the user:
BeamNG, a car simulation, runs at normal settings with 60 FPS.
Rainbow 6, a shooter, runs at 66 FPS. Which part he plays, he does not mention.
American Truck Simulator even runs at 90 FPS.
How good is the GTX 1070 Ti compared to the GT 750? The GTX 1070 Ti is already a significant upgrade compared to the older GTX 750. This is shown by the YouTuber “IT in your Life” in a YouTube video. Here, the FPS count increases significantly compared to the GTX 750:
Metro Exodus: From 14 FPS to 77 FPS
Tom Clancy’s The Division 2: From 27 FPS to 121 FPS
Red Dead Redemption 2: From 26 FPS to 95 FPS
From this perspective, the change of the graphics card was a really sensible decision and has resulted in a significant FPS increase for the user.
Why can’t this be perfectly replicated? The CPU in the user’s computer is relatively old and eventually limits the performance of a fast graphics card. A CPU from 2009 simply lacks modern features that you can find in today’s processors. If an important feature is missing, some games may not even start.
To benefit long-term from the higher performance of the GTX 1070 Ti, the user would need a better CPU over the long term and would also have to replace the motherboard and RAM. And replacing old hardware with similarly old hardware is rarely worth it.
The player himself explained in a further post on Reddit that he ordered a graphics card and a new processor for 30 dollars each from AliExpress and is very curious about the improvements.
Valheim has incredibly strong ratings on Steam and has been continuously developed for years. In 2026, the game is expected to be fully complete, meaning: it will celebrate its 1.0 release. Now the creators directly announce that Valheim will also be coming to the PS5, voiced by one of the most recognizable voices in gaming recently.
What kind of game is it?
In Valheim, you play a Viking who, after his death, is supposed to fight the enemies of Allfather Odin in the eponymous world Valheim.
Valheim comes with classic survival elements such as building and crafting, as well as a now significantly expanded combat system. Food is not necessary for survival, but provides strong buffs.
The survival game does without elaborate graphics and instead features a retro look. The focus is on exploring various biomes (including the sea!) and fighting against powerful bosses, through which you earn progress.
This is what Valheim has announced now: In the latest trailer, the developers show a small preview of Valheim in its complete release state. Just on September 9, a new update called “Call to Arms” was released, paving the way for the 1.0 version.
The trailer not only announces that Valheim will leave early access in 2026, the survival game will also be released on the PS5. Currently, it is only playable on PC, Mac, Linux, and Xbox. However, there is no specific date yet.
In the video, you can hear Neil Newbon, the voice actor of Astarion from Baldur’s Gate 3. Newbon seems to be in demand at many studios right now, as he has helped a new sci-fi RPG find the right focus.
Before the release, the developers want to refine a few more features. The game is already rated “very positive” on Steam with 94% and has been one of the best survival games on the market since its surprising breakthrough in 2021.

A lot of improvements on the way to the 1.0 release
Since the start of early access, the developers wanted to continuously polish their game to put it in an presentable state for the 1.0 version. A lot has happened since then that you might have missed:
Despite the unusual appearance, Valheim has sold over 12 million copies according to the publisher, and still has almost 50,000 peak players on Steam (according to steamcharts). Additionally, there are players on Xbox and soon on the PS5.
The survival game captivates with its mechanics, its story, and the many possibilities it offers. Maps are generated and provide variety for a fresh start. Furthermore, Valheim is fully geared towards PvE, and you can play in coop with up to 9 other players. And what might have made the game so well-known from the start: Valheim’s deadliest enemies are trees – no joke

Borderlands 4 has various characters, but which one offers the best class for beginners? We took a look.
In Borderlands 4, you can use four different vault hunters to face the malevolent Time Warden:
Rafa
Vex
Amon
Harlowe
But before tackling the Time Warden, there are plenty of other challenges to master, enemies to defeat, weapons to collect, and skills to upgrade.
Borderlands is known for its fast-paced gameplay, various combat approaches, as well as hordes of enemies and sometimes tough bosses. This can be quite overwhelming for players who are not familiar with the Borderlands or shooter universe in general.
And even when playing co-op with people who may not play much, it can be helpful to start with an easier character.
That’s why we looked into: Which vault hunters are particularly suitable for beginners?
[toc]
The best class for beginners in Borderlands 4: Rafa and his turrets
Start video
Borderlands 4 shows gameplay of the Exo-soldier Rafa
The Exo-Soldier Rafa is our first recommendation for getting into the game easily. His skill “Overdrive” is fairly straightforward: It increases your movement speed and your damage with all weapons once you activate an action skill.
For action skills, Rafa offers the “APOPHIS” spear, the melee-oriented “Arc Blades,” or the “Peacekeeper Cannons.”
In particular, the cannons are suitable for beginners: The shoulder cannons deal critical hits and, depending on skill points, continuously regenerate. You regenerate ammunition, fire bombs, later deal elemental damage, shoot with ricochets, or can even use self-triggering, seeking lasers.
Rafa is simple, quite easy to understand and enhance, and he works very well as a solo vault hunter. Overall, a good choice to get into the game.
The second-best class for beginners: Vex and her helpers
Start video
Borderlands 4 zeigt die Skills der Sirene Vex im Gameplay-Trailer
The Siren Vex brings the ability “Phase Pact” and can apply the elemental damage of her weapon to action skills and melee damage. This is quite useful, as it allows you to deal a lot of targeted damage. An overview, of which elements are particularly effective where can be found here.
As for action skills: Vex has various abilities suitable for the start of the game.
The “Harbinger” skill spawns a phase clone – Phantom or Reaper. These deal elemental damage based on your Phase Pact. The Reaper draws enemies to it and binds them in melee – great if you want to take a little breather. The Phantom, on the other hand, stays stationary but continuously shoots at your enemies.
The other option is the skill “Phase Phertraut” from the skill tree “Trouble Comes.” Here you summon the phase tiger “Rabatzi,” a large wildcat that crushes your opponents and also keeps enemies off your back.
You can further improve these companion skills and gain plenty of bonuses. Quite ideal if you’re playing alone and not yet deeply into the Borderlands gameplay.
By the way: Vex also offers currently the strongest build in Borderlands 4. However, that’s more for later stages of the game when you have the right equipment, like a deadly throwing knife. If you want to switch to this once you get used to the game, you can respec your character.
Harlowe in 3rd place – Cool especially in co-op
Start video
Borderlands 4: Official Gameplay of Harlowe in the Trailer
Harlowe is a vault hunter who relies on a variety of technical gadgets. Her “Entrapment” ability is designed to take out large numbers of enemies at once. She can “entrap” enemies, causing them to share damage.
Harlowe has abilities like the Chroma Accelerator, which is quite straightforward, firing an “unstable energy pouch” that deals damage. But the really exciting part are the buffs that this skill can trigger alongside – and that gets a bit more complicated and is not necessarily beginner-friendly. You can find the build for it here.
The other abilities: “Null Point” freezes enemies in stasis, “Flux Generator” entraps multiple enemies, inflicts cryo damage, and activates overshields for allies. These are abilities that work particularly well in cooperation with other vault hunters. That’s cool, when playing co-op and also a good option if, as a beginner, you want to play more as support in a duo. Overall, we find Harlowe to be more complex than Vex and Rafa.
Amon: Not so easy, but exciting
Start video
Borderlands 4: Amon Gameplay im Überblick
In an interview, character designer Nick Thurston said Amon is his favorite vault hunter. This is also because some good ideas remained at the end of the development cycle that couldn’t be integrated anywhere – but then flowed into the realization of Amon.
You can tell this from the barbarian, who has a whole range of skills requiring you to do multiple things at once. The Scourge skill, for example, equips you with a shield that absorbs damage and then, by pressing L1, you can bounce back damage as a “Smith Waves” whip. At the same time, you can set up another “shield,” the “Fire Wall,” which also absorbs damage while giving buffs to allied projectiles. And if you shoot a Smith Wave through the shield, it is also amplified.
With Scourge, you can consistently freeze your enemies, but you’re also constantly under fire, looking for protection or caught in the fray to attack. The simpler Amon build relies on the “Melting Pot,” the ability to work with elemental axes. Our editor Dariusz played through Borderlands 4 with it, and he attested it good playability and fun, but also certain weaknesses.
The “Rusher” skill focuses on melee fights, which can also get quite stressful. Overall, you are always in the fray with Amon – that’s fun, but not necessarily easy if you are a beginner.
The best vault hunter depends on your personal playstyle. Amon, Vex, Rafa, or Harlowe – which vault hunter are you currently playing in Borderlands 4? Let us know in the comments! Also: It all depends on the right loot. Collecting is one of the most important elements of the game. In a early boss in Borderlands 4, you can actually gather loot very well.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
In Dune: Awakening players are frustrated about the same old loot they can collect in the Deep Desert. Now the developers have come up with a plan to provide more variety.
What is the loot problem? Players of Dune: Awakening are currently complaining about the loot in the game. This week, in the Deep Desert, there are again only blueprints to be found that have already been available in previous weeks.
This makes the Deep Desert uninteresting for players because they already own all the items and thus have no incentive to explore the new Deep Desert at all. However, the developers now want to change how loot is distributed.
Here you can see the trailer for the new update “Chapter 2”:
Start video
Dune: Awakening receives new story quests and another vehicle with Chapter 2
Chance instead of fixed loot
What is the plan of the developers? So far, the developers have determined each week what loot can be found in the Deep Desert. In the past, this often resulted in developers adding loot that could already be collected before.
However, since players are thirsty for variety, the developers have now decided to change the system. Instead of a fixed loot table that specifies what can be found each week, the developers want to make all blueprints available at the same time in the Deep Desert.
Thus, PvP research stations will have their own loot table, crashed spaceships will have one, and PvE stations will have their own loot. Players can farm there and will receive a random item for each completion.
On Reddit, developer “Kamil” emphasizes that some blueprints will still be reserved for the Landsraad system and specific merchants. Thus, winners of the Landsraad system can occasionally unlock extra loot for their faction.
How are players reacting? Players are sharply criticizing the current mechanics and that they are supposed to wait weeks for the big update with more loot. For example, Reddit user Hell-Fire442 sharply states:
They need to manually rotate [the loot]. Solutions will come in a few weeks when alArc and BF6 are released. Until then, my guild will no longer exist. We are one of the last remaining guilds on our server. Right now we just hope that some of the newer guilds lose interest in PvE and venture into the PvP zone.
My server is dead. People generally do not get past the PvE barrier, and if they do, they are new players who have basically never played PvP. As a veteran, it is basically bullying to fight against them.
Other players also agree with him. For example, Reddit user xTauroo expresses disappointment about the same old loot in the game and shows little understanding for the fact that after such a long time there are still items that no player has ever had, simply because they haven’t been available yet.
In Borderlands 4, you don’t always have teammates ready to mix it up with Kairos. So, it’s very convenient to know how to get by solo. That’s why we’re showing you the best classes for solo Vault Hunters in the tier list.
How is the list structured? In our list, we show you an action skill for each class that allows you to smoothly progress through the campaign and beyond, primarily as a solo player, with minimal effort. With them, you can easily defeat bosses and swiftly eliminate hordes of enemies. We explain what makes the action skills so special and why they are so powerful.
Note that each action skill, with the right equipment, passive skills, and strategy, can take you all the way to the endgame. So, if you have other suggestions for our tier list, feel free to mention them in the comments. Our list is built on the opinions of the community as well as our own years of experience in Borderlands.
Start video
Der Trailer zur Launch-Woche von Borderlands 4
S-Tier – Vex: Phase Monthly
What kind of playstyle is this? Those who played FL4K in Borderlands 3 will feel comfortable with Vex and her action skill “Phase Monthly”. Vex can summon her ally “Rabatzi”, who draws the aggro of various enemies and even damages them.
With her playstyle, every fight becomes more relaxed, as you are not constantly under fire like other classes. With various upgrades and skill points, Rabatzi also becomes more robust and deadly, as well as versatile. For example, he can:
Launch into the air
Enter Beast Mode, making him temporarily immortal
Split and create a copy of himself
So if you want to tackle Kairos solo with Vex, you’re in good hands with Phase Monthly. Another build is also strong and can impressively show in the endgame that Vex deserves her place in S-Tier: Borderlands 4: Strong build for Vex takes down bosses in seconds.
A-Tier – Rafa: Peacebreaker Cannon
What kind of playstyle is this? With the Peacebreaker Cannons, you are well off with Rafa, as they automatically fire at marked enemies. With various passive skills, upgrades, and skill points, the cannons can also be used in versatile ways.
You can convert them into turret allies, fire bombs that engulf large parts of the battlefield in fire, channel shock and corrosive beams, penetrate enemies, or even load rockets that then home in on your foes.
If you get creative with Rafa, you’ll recognize his versatility and will manage easily in battle thanks to his gadgets.
B-Tier – Amon: Melting Pot
What kind of playstyle is this? Amon is quite a tough character and the best tank in the game, and with the action skill of the Melting Pot, he’ll become even stronger. This class allows Amon to throw elemental axes and swords, but with some passive skills, you can make those thrown weapons operate like drones.
They will seek out the nearest enemy and pummel them. This way, they attract attention, and you can deal damage from a distance.
If you level these drones further, you can apply additional elements, so you have something to offer against almost every enemy type. The drones also gain new features and can even prepare and detonate enemies when they achieve kills.
Overall, the Melting Pot class is versatile and can also be played from a safe distance when melee combat gets too chaotic.
What kind of playstyle is this? Do you want to destroy the entire battlefield in front of you with just one bullet? Then best take the action skill “CHROMA Accelerator” for Harlowe.
This skill can suck in many enemies and manually detonate them. With its radiation damage, the skill is excellent against armored enemies and bosses, and with various upgrades, the damage to enemies is also increased.
The accelerator is simply a talent that you fire, wait until a majority of the enemies are caught, only to then kill them all with a huge explosion. It’s a relaxed playstyle that can dominate the battlefield if you have calculated your trajectory well.
That was our current tier list of the best solo classes in Borderlands 4. We will be adding suitable builds to our list in the coming days that you can faithfully replicate to succeed in battle. Until then, feel free to mention your best classes in the comments. Find more about Borderlands 4 here: Borderlands 4: All guides, tips, and lists in overview

Borderlands 4 is a classic loot shooter. Therefore, many players wonder where the best farming spots are. Ironically, one of the first bosses is located in a good spot, even if you’re already in the endgame.
What kind of boss is this? After the tutorial area, you quickly encounter the boss Splashzone in the Tidal Grotto (Riptide Grotto) in the Bone Coast area. This is part of the story, so you can’t miss it. He is an enemy most reminiscent of the Badass Psychos. He has a huge arm with which he attacks you in melee. Occasionally, he vomits acid that stays on the ground.
The enemy is quite easy to defeat as long as you don’t stand in the acid. He is currently one of the most popular farming spots in the game, but that’s not just because you can defeat him quickly early on. Even in the endgame, he is quite useful, as a YouTuber explains.

Perfect for Early and Endgame
Why is Splashzone such a good farming spot? When looking for good farming spots, you’ll quickly find posts and videos about Splashzone. It’s not only useful for leveling and legendary weapons, but can also help refine builds in the endgame. This is also explained by content creator EpicNNG in his YouTube video.
The focus here is speed. You can defeat him in just a few seconds and then revive him with Moxxi’s machine. If you have a good flow, you can defeat him quite often in a few minutes. This spawns a lot of loot, hopefully some legendary.
You can also see what the farming flow can look like in EpicNNG’s YouTube video:

In addition, he has 3 fixed legendary items in his pool that he can drop. These include the Jelly grenade, the Fireworks shield, and the Lead Balloon-shotgun. In his video, EpicNNG rates these drops as quite solid. He especially praises the Jelly grenade and the Fireworks shield, particularly for early game.
Due to the fast fights and many drops, you also earn a lot of money since you can sell the loot. Money is quite important in Borderlands 4, as respawning bosses costs money. For the endgame, Splashzone is also useful according to EpicNNG when it comes to the firmware mechanic.
What is firmware? Firmware is a new endgame mechanic in Borderlands 4. It can be compared to set bonuses from other games. All equipment that are not weapons can drop with firmware after the campaign. If you combine several, you gain powerful effects. You can also transfer the firmware of one item to other items that also have firmware. This optimizes your builds.
As EpicNNG explains, however, it is hard to get firmware. According to EpicNNG, Splashzone is a good method to farm items with firmware in the endgame. If you want to acquire this efficiently, Splashzone seems to offer an interesting option.
