With Season 1, Fallout 76 has received numerous new features. One of them has been wished for by players for a long time. However, the form in which it came is not very popular. That is supposed to change now.
What is this feature? The Ammo Converter is a new C.A.M.P. item introduced with Season 1 “The Legendary Race” in Fallout 76. It helps exchange unused ammunition for the ones players really need.
Previously, ammunition for weapons that players did not use clogged storage and inventories or was simply discarded. Because you could neither sell nor dismantle them. However, with the Ammo Converter, you can now exchange them for points, which you can then use to buy other ammunition.
The blueprint for the Ammo Converter is one of the rewards that can be earned relatively early in the 100 levels of the free Season Pass. Every player should be able to get it relatively quickly.
Although this is a feature that players have been asking for since the beta of Fallout 76, the Ammo Converter has a major problem.
Upcoming update improves the Ammo Converter
What is the problem? Currently, you need to approach the converter to exchange ammunition and navigate through three screens:
first, you choose whether you want to exchange ammunition for points or points for ammunition
then you need to select the ammunition category
finally, you need to select the corresponding ammunition in the category
After exchanging, you are sent back to the main menu. So you have to navigate through each of these menus every single time you want to exchange ammunition.
You first have to navigate through a lot of menus before you can start exchanging.
In itself, this wouldn’t be so annoying if there weren’t more limitations. Ammunition can only be exchanged for fixed values (e.g., 100 pieces, 50 pieces, 3 pieces, etc., depending on the ammunition), and you can accumulate a maximum of 2,000 ammo points.
So if you want to exchange several tens of thousands of rounds of a particular ammunition, it can take a very long time, especially since you can only exchange a limited amount until the points cap is reached.
How will it get better? First of all, the limits will be raised. You can now exchange directly ten or a hundred times the amount, and the limit for ammo points has been raised to 10,000.
Additionally, for every type of ammunition, the option to buy and sell will be integrated. So you will need one less screen to navigate through when exchanging ammunition.
We do not yet know exactly when the change will come. In the official “From the Vault”, where this change was announced, it is stated that the change will come with the “next major patch”. This could be update 21 or even earlier. Update 21 is expected to be released on August 4.
This will also change
In the update, Bethesda also reveals that the legendary vendor currently has some new offers. She offers you legendary armor and weapons at a 25% discount. Three-star weapons thus only cost about 75 coins. The offer lasts until July 13.
Bethesda has already revealed what to expect in the coming weeks. There is even another roadmap for the upcoming seasons.
Additionally, the new public event “A Colossal Problem” is now playable on the test server. Bethesda has revealed what exactly you can test, namely among other things, the new fight against a legendary boss in the Monongah Mine. Automatic atomic bombs will also drop on the mine daily at 6:00 PM, followed by another every 4 hours.
Additionally, the legendary skill cards will appear again on the test server. They are supposed to make your character even stronger.
Together with the upcoming update 21 “A Wasteland for All,” the new questline “Steel Dawn” is also coming, in which the legendary Steel Brotherhood will likely come to Appalachia. Additionally, there are already cryptic radio signals that you can decipher and which announce the coming of the Brotherhood.

The U.S. Army has a Twitch channel and an eSports team. The channel regularly streams Call of Duty: Warzone. However, when a question about war crimes arose, they brought out the banhammer.
This is how it goes for the U.S. Army on Twitch: The U.S. Army’s eSports team has over 10,000 followers on Twitch. They primarily stream shooters, such as CoD Warzone, Apex Legends, and Valorant. The streamers sit in full uniform and play the shooters virtually.
Now the Army and the Twitch channel are under fire. A toxic comment has transformed into a fundamental problem.
A viewer’s ban leads to criticism
Here’s what happened: During a stream, the user Really_chill_guy asked the question: “What’s your favorite u.s. w4r cr1me?”, which translates to “Was ist euer liebstes US-Kriegsverbrechen?”. The user then sent in a Wikipedia link that shows a long list of war crimes committed by the U.S.
The user was quickly banned by the moderators. U.S. veteran Joshua “Strotnium” David, who was streaming at the time, commented on the situation with, “Nice, really nice guy, have a great time getting banned, my friend.”
The situation gained special significance when eSports journalist Rod Breslau shared the clip on his Twitter account. He has already received almost 10,000 likes for it.
The clip shows the post from the user’s perspective, who asked about the war crimes. You can see that the user first had to bypass a profanity filter, which spelled “war” and “crime” incorrectly because the correct words were blocked.

After Breslau shared the clip, a shitstorm developed against the U.S. Army’s Twitch channel. More and more comments against the stream and the Army appeared in the chat.
For example, it was stated, “Oh, so you like video games? Well, you’ll love dying in a foreign country to protect the interests of the oligarchs back home.”
U.S. Army justifies ban with Twitch rules
How did the U.S. Army respond? After the comments increased, the stream was briefly taken offline. Afterwards, only users who had followed the channel for more than 24 hours could comment.
The U.S. Army’s Twitch team commented on these incidents to Vice, referencing a question from a user who wanted to discuss white phosphorus. This is a controversial killstreak in Modern Warfare that is said to have been used by the U.S. military in the past.
The eSports team said:
The question from this user was an attempt to shift the conversation in a way that implies that soldiers commit war crimes based on an optional weapon in a game, and we felt that this violated Twitch’s harassment policy.
The U.S. Army offers youth more than 150 different career options, and ultimately the goal of the Army eSports team is to accurately present this range of opportunities to interested youth.
What’s behind this?: Some gamers traditionally react allergically when “outsiders” use their medium for personal advertising, especially when it comes to controversial matters.
Elune in World of Warcraft might be much more important than we all thought. At least that is suggested by new information about the “Night Warrior”.
Elune is one of the few remaining mysteries in World of Warcraft. However, with Shadowlands , the moon goddess is brought into a new light. Because it seems that Elune has a greater influence on the cosmos than we previously thought. At least that is suggested by the current datamining of the Shadowlands alpha.
Spoiler alert: This article contains some spoilers for the upcoming expansion Shadowlands. You have been warned.
The Nightfae Campaign Reveals New Details
In the datamining, some lines of text have already been found that probably relate to the campaign of the Nightfae of Ardenweald. The story here revolves largely around the first Night Warrior.
The background is that the Night Elves are worried about Tyrande. During the events of Battle for Azeroth, she performed the ritual of the Night Warrior and was filled with Elune’s destructive power. From the stories, we know that a former Night Warrior met a grim fate and was ultimately destroyed by the energies. Many Night Elves and other members of the Alliance fear that Tyrande may share the same fate.
This story is picked up in the narrative of the Nightfae. To find out what happened to Tyrande, the player researches with some other characters and finds the souls of Thiernax and Kadarin.
You only experience the entire campaign from Ardenweald if you join the Nightfae.
Who are the two? Thiernax was once the Night Warrior of Elune himself. After the burden became too great, he shared the power with his husband Kadarin, but ultimately they were both overwhelmed and died. Here are some (translated) passages from the dialogue:
Thiernax: Then her fate is sealed. My condolences, but you must let her go. For your own good as well as ours.
Kadarin: Please forgive my husband, Thiernax became the Night Warrior to save our world, but in the end, he had to pay a great price.
He knew the risks, but we had no choice.
He summoned the dark powers of Elune and together we repelled the invaders.
Although we saved our world, the power of the Night Warrior began to destroy him.
In my desperation to alleviate his burden, we attempted to share the burden by dividing Elune’s power between us.
But we failed and lost our lives. He has since felt responsible for that.
With this, Blizzard not only reveals that Night Warriors can apparently also be male, but also introduces a gay couple in World of Warcraft.
Elune was revered by the Night Elves – but apparently also on other worlds!
Why is this so interesting? As often, the devil is in the details.
It is notable that the two characters never mention “Azeroth”, but always refer to “our world”. In English, they even place particular emphasis on “our”, which suggests that they do not mean Azeroth. Therefore, it is assumed that Kadarin and Thiernax are not Night Elves, but rather a race from another world that was attacked – presumably by the Legion many years ago.
This would imply that Elune is not just a moon that orbits Azeroth, but also visible on other worlds where she is likewise revered as a goddess. This was confirmed just a few days ago by Steve Danuser, who explained in an interview with wowhead that Elune is also revered on other worlds.
Elune is more than just a goddess of Azeroth
This theory is supported by the mysterious place “Elunaria” that players enter in the raid Antorus. This world is clearly named after Elune and served as a refuge for the essence of Eonar, a Titaness. The exact location of this place is unknown – but if Elune has her own sanctum hidden in the cosmos, there could be much more behind “Mother Moon” than we can currently imagine.
Hopefully, we will learn more about Tyrande’s fate…
It is clear that Elune seems to be a much more versatile goddess that is active and revered not only on Azeroth but also on other worlds. It is entirely possible that there is much more to Elune than the Night Elves know or believe. Although, of course, the question arises as to how Elune can be seen on other worlds – as they would have to be very close to Azeroth, or Elune is at multiple places at once.
What do you think about that? Would you find it cool if Elune is much more than just a moon goddess of the Night Elves?

Professional player Timothy “Bizzle” Miller is considered one of the most talented players in Fortnite overall. However, he is struggling with Season 3. He has issues with lag and the many NPCs in the game. But he has identified a new mythical weapon as his main problem: the Shock Grenade Launcher. It is ruining his game.
He believes there is now so much special gimmickry in Fortnite that it seriously impacts the gameplay of professionals. Bizzle thinks that the many new ideas with sharks, helicopters, or NPC groups rampaging across the field lead to Fortnite being too laggy. Especially for competitive play, where everything revolves around building, editing, and gaining height advantage, this is a problem.
“Get rid of sharks, remove NPCs, get rid of everything,” says Bizzle.
The weapon ruins the way Bizzle and his team play
This weapon annoys him particularly: Bizzle sees his main frustration with Season 3 in a the 6 new mythical weapons: the Shock Grenade Launcher. The item can be obtained from the mini-boss Kit at Catty Corner.
The Shock Grenade Launcher works like the old shockwave grenades. A shot with the weapon does no damage but pushes enemies back, or you can use it to jump into the air.
According to Bizzle, this item is completely dominant in competitive play. He says they lost the last trio match because two in the team were shot from above.
As a result of the ensuing frustration, their trio has now disbanded.
Kit has mythic loot.
Before Season 3, their trio dominated everything, but the Shock Grenade Launcher has completely overturned their way of playing. In every game where you have a height advantage or steal the opponent’s height advantage, this mythical weapon would ruin everything.
Every professional player knows what a joke Fortnite currently is.

Professional player SypherPK uses the grenade launcher cooler.
The new gimmicks and PvE elements are a burden for pros
Here’s the background: Epic Games has strengthened the PvE elements in Fortnite: Battle Royale starting with Season 2. There are now mini-bosses that drop mythical loot. There is only one of each of these weapons and items per match. These special items break the “normal rules” of Fortnite.
This leads to significant changes in the match. The weapon that Bizzle hates so much turns every height advantage upside down because it can shoot teams down from above.
The idea behind the mythical weapons is that those teams who invest resources early and take the risk of killing one of the 3 bosses get a reward.
Teams must adjust their strategies to the new circumstances with each new season. Bizzle is currently frustrated that his previous “winning strategy” of using height advantage and strong building skills is no longer as effective.
Better not mess with him, as Bizzle learned in 2019. Tfue.
Bizzle has long been among the best Fortnite players in the world. But even he can have a bad day. He once played with world champion Kyle “Bugha” Giersdorf and Danny “Dubs” Walsh and came up with the idea to challenge the Twitch star, Turner “Tfue” Tenney, in Fortnite:
In Destiny 2, 4 planets will soon disappear from the scene, and players will be sent once again to the most beautiful places they will soon have to do without.
Do planets die in Destiny 2? For some time now, the rumor has been circulating in the community that a whole planet is to be destroyed, thus removing the location along with its quests, NPCs, and activities. Since Season 11, it has been known that players will have to bid farewell to 4 locations.
Therefore, the evacuation of half the solar system is at hand. Preparations have been in full swing since June 7. Players must visit the four affected planets (and moons) to deliver the news of destruction – this all culminates soon in a major quest, which rewards Guardians with a new exotic.
This is what happens to the locations: The reason for the disappearance is cooly embedded in the story of the MMO. The players’ arch-nemesis, the Darkness, finally arrives in the solar system after 6 years with great fanfare.
The harbingers of darkness are mysterious pyramid ships. These are now omnipresent and are blamed for the disappearance of the locations.
By the way, this also has gameplay implications: The planets are not being removed permanently. They are just saying goodbye for a (still unknown) while and could return in similar or altered form in the coming years.
With the absence of locations, Destiny 2 primarily buys itself space – this will be used to bring new locations into the game. Even favorites from Destiny 1 are expected to return in modern garb.
Players also hope that performance will improve due to the streamlining treatment. In other words: Loading times and stutter should become less of a nuisance. Whether this actually happens will only be known in the fall of 2020 – when the planets disappear and the next chapter “Destiny 2: Beyond Light” begins.
What the disappearance and exchange of content means is explained by MeinMMO in this article:
This is how the farewell is received by the players
Initially, there was mainly disbelief, anger, and sadness. Hardly anyone thought a few weeks ago that 4 planets would actually disappear from the game. Meanwhile, players seem to be in the phase of acceptance and even find kind words on the topic.
Players thank for a collection quest: Currently, Destiny 2 “forces” its players with quests to collect a whopping 75 items spread across the vanishing locations. Some of them are in places that most Guardians have never visited.
The so-called eyes of Savathûn can be found on the dying planet
The Guardians say (via reddit), that they found the collection quest anything but boring. Some are grateful to visit the most beautiful places on the planets one last time through the quests – Destiny 2 is practically holding a farewell.
It is also positively highlighted that there is a bittersweet atmosphere of farewell. Although not everyone is satisfied with the disappearance, players agree that there could have been worse ways to say goodbye to the planets. Soon there will also be the multi-week evacuation, which will truly be the (for now) final farewell.
In Call of Duty: Warzone a player eliminated an entire team of campers through clever use of an airstrike. However, none of his victims died from the airstrike.
What is it about? In Call of Duty: Warzone, so-called “Rooftop Campers” are an annoying nuisance. These are players who barricade themselves on a roof and are difficult to dislodge. In sniper duels, their height advantage usually gives them better visibility, and storming the roof from inside can also be dangerous.
Only airstrikes can reliably drive them off the roof, but then they just huddle inside, and not much is gained. However, with some creativity and cleverness, you can get rid of the campers optimally. A player has impressively demonstrated how this can be done.
Enemies barricaded on roofs are very annoying.
Airstrike is just a deception
This is what happened: The Warzone player and reddit user ESDROS faced an entire squad in Warzone that had comfortably barricaded themselves on a roof. They were shooting at anything that moved.
ESDROS had no good way to shoot the annoying campers off the roof, so he risked storming the building and even made it inside amidst the chaos. However, to reach the roof, he would have had to climb a ladder, and the chance of being caught by one of the campers there would have been high.
So ESDROS probably thought, “If I can’t get to them, they have to come to me.” But how do you quickly bring campers from the roof into the building? The answer is of course: A killstreak in the form of an airstrike! And coincidentally, ESDROS had one. He simply dropped it somewhere nearby and hoped that the campers would panic.

How one player eliminates an entire team: ESDROS’ hope was that the campers would hide from the airstrike and all come down the ladder. And this is exactly what happened as soon as the airstrike was announced.
One by one, the enemies slid down the ladder, and ESDROS only had to pull the trigger at the right moment. Soon after, the entire enemy team lay dead on the ground. Their faces surely marked by endless confusion over their sudden death.
ESDROS received numerous achievements and awards for this cool action. After all, it’s not every day that one eliminates an entire squad in seconds. Ironically, this trick is old, but according to ESDROS on reddit, people still fall for it.
Don’t make the same mistake: So the next time the alarm for an airstrike goes off, consider whether the airstrike is actually dangerous to you and don’t rely on your escape path being safe.
By the way, another player pulled off an even bolder action in Call of Duty: Warzone. He simply stole a helicopter while it was still flying. How you perform this crazy stunt and what happens next, you can find out in our article on the brazen helicopter theft in Call of Duty: Warzone.

Valorant is still an absolute newcomer in e-sports. The game has only been officially on the market for a month, and there is still no official league. Nevertheless, e-sports organizations are already investing heavily in pro teams with high salaries.
What does the e-sports scene look like right now? Valorant has been on the market for almost a month, and there is still no official e-sports league. There are individual tournaments with prize pools of up to $50,000. And Riot is currently supporting a number of tournaments under the “Ignition Series.” But aside from that, not much has happened in the e-sports area so far.
What do professionals earn in Valorant? According to a report from eSportObserver, salaries of $15,000 to $25,000 per month are already being paid to Valorant teams. Individual players can earn annual salaries of $60,000 or more.
This is relatively low compared to games like LoL, where a pro can expect at least $75,000 a year, but for a young game like Valorant, which still has no official league, it’s quite a significant amount.
Furthermore, there isn’t much happening in the Valorant e-sports scene right now. There are only a few top tournaments, and the competitive landscape is limited. Given the workload, these salaries are therefore quite generous.
G2 is already on board with Valorant.
Why are e-sports organizations investing so heavily in Valorant? In previous games like PUBG, Fortnite, and Apex Legends, significant investments were made in pro teams even before an official league was established. The hope is and was that the respective game would develop into an e-sports hit, and that the invested sums would be returned manifold.
This can work well, but it can also go wrong, as happened with PUBG. There, the interest of viewers was not maintained over the long term, and in the end, the battle royale game did not become a major e-sports hit. E-sports companies incurred losses because they had also invested a lot of money in top teams that ultimately did not deliver the expected “return on investment.”
Nevertheless, from the perspective of many e-sports companies, it is wise to invest early in a pro team for a promising game. This way, they can be on board in time when it takes off. Whether this will ultimately succeed with Valorant will only be shown in the future. At least there are already dramas about injured professionals:
Among the top players of Valorant, there are, by the way, some well-known pros from other games. For example, the famous Overwatch pro Sinatraa suddenly left Overwatch to join Valorant. If Valorant becomes a success in e-sports, more pros from CS:GO or Overwatch will likely follow.

In The Elder Scrolls Online has a new wave of cute mounts and pets in the Crown Store. One upcoming offer includes an adorable, little Ja-Khajiit pet that bears a striking resemblance to a notorious NPC in the game. MeinMMO has delved into the matter and uncovered the shocking truth behind this pet!
Which pet are we talking about? In preview of the upcoming offers in the ESO cash shop, alongside the legendary sheep mount and other items, there’s also an adorable, little pet named “Ja-Khajiit Raz.
“Ja-Khajiit” translates in the language of the cat people to something like “kitten” and refers either to the species variation of the “Suthay-raht” (the Khajiit species from the original Morrowind) or to small baby Khajiit. And that seems to be exactly what the little Khajiit from the shop is. It looks like a small lion with bright blue eyes and has a distinctive red mohawk hairstyle.
Wait a minute, there was an NPC that looks just like that: Razum-dar!

Who is Razum-dar? The red mohawk and the name of the little creature “Ja-Khajiit Raz” are a clear clue to the origin of this pet. Anyone who has spent some time in ESO knows the legendary Razum-dar, the master spy of Queen Ayrenn from the Aldmeri Dominion. You meet him among other things as an important NPC in the Dominion story, in the Gold Coast DLC, in the story of Summerset, and in Elsweyr.
Raz, as he is often called, is somewhat of a James Bond with fur and in the game, he constantly talks about the numerous affairs he has had. Anyone who has played a certain quest in Elsweyr will experience firsthand the entanglements his active love life causes everywhere. And yes, Razum-dar has a bright red mohawk hairstyle.

Raz also plays a big role in the Summerset trailer.
That’s why the pet looks like Raz: Considering the appearance of the Ja-Khajiit, it seems reasonable to suspect that the little one is Razum-dar’s offspring. This also fits with the description text for the pet:
“Sweet young things are often given this as a keepsake,” says Razum-dar, Queen’s Eye, “but raising a kitten does not suit Raz’ romantic yet unsettled life full of schemes. Perhaps you could provide the adorable Ja-Khajiit with a good home, yes?”
Razum-dar, Queen’s Eye
One just needs to add one and one together to get the idea that “kittens as keepsakes” refers to unwanted offspring that Raz as a master spy cannot easily take along. Therefore, as players, you will raise his offspring and even pay for it! After all, the kitten is expected to cost around 1,200 crowns, about 10 euros.
The promotional image actually says it all: Baby Raz looks super sad while his father is sneakily disappearing behind a lamp post. Probably to quickly buy moon sugar…
Why is Raz’s child a cat? The two-legged Khajiit that you mostly see in ESO are just one of several subspecies of the cat folk. There are also variants that walk on four legs and resemble house cats or large tigers and lions. Baby Raz might therefore belong to the subspecies of Alfiq or Senche. And who knows, maybe he will appear later as an adult Khajiit in a future addon?
Khajiit can look like this too.
This is what players say: The story behind the pet has not gone unnoticed by ESO players. Back at the launch of Summerset, when the pet was first available in the Crown Store, there were amusing comments about it in the forum:
SantieClaws: “The baby Raz, do you get a monthly kitten support payment in crowns for it?”
TheMythicDawn: “Where is my Ja-Khajiit Pacrooti [the Khajiit who sells loot boxes]? He gives you an additional 0.000001% chance to pull a 5th item in loot boxes.”
Jazdia: “I didn’t want to buy it at first, but he looked so sad and after 3 hours I finally gave in and bought him with my subscription crowns. He still looks sad, but he has cute animations.”
I want to provide little Raz with a home! Where can I get him? Currently, the little Raz has only been mentioned in the preview of the shop. Neither price nor release date has been given, but it was mentioned that the pet should be available to celebrate the Summerset release in 2020 and that it should be cheaper for ESO Plus subscribers.
Razum-dar is a fan favorite.
In 2018, the pet was available again for a short time, from July 12 to July 16. It is quite possible that it could return around that time this year as well. Back then, the pet cost around 1,200 crowns, approximately 10 euros.
The team of Schalke 04 is struggling in the summer of 2020 in the League of Legends. After 8 losses at the start of the LEC, they have now won their first game in LoL, and that against Fnatic. However, they are facing ridicule.
Here’s how the LoL team of Schalke 04 has been doing lately: The professional team of Schalke in LoL is in a downward spiral:
In the second half of 2019, they finished 4th in the LEC – with 11-7, Schalke was a playoff team
In the second half of 2020, the team is now in last place, 10th, with 1-8 – Schalke has lost 8 games in a row before finally securing their first win
FORG1VEN was supposed to be the beacon of hope for Schalke. However, it did not work out.
The great talent is gone, now stability is missing
Why is Schalke so bad? The simplest reason is: The players are just not that great. The star of the successful 2019 team, the bot laner Elias “Upset” Lipp, has been gone for a while. The attempt to replace him with the veteran FORG1VEN failed and ruined Schalke’s last season. Since then, Schalke’s bot lane has been changing constantly.
Even this season they still have no stable lineup, frequently swapping players from their second team in and out.
Schalke’s coach, Dylan Falco, says in an interview with Inven, they actually have two bot lanes:
Both duos are almost equally strong and could play at a “decent LEC level”. At the moment, they have chosen Dreams and Neon because they are stronger in the laning phase.
Schalke’s coach, Dylan Falco, gave an interview about the team’s poor start. Source: Inven
Those who often lose are afraid of every opponent
Regarding the two long losing streaks at the start of the season, Falco says:
It may sound obvious, but the problem with a losing streak at the start is that you have 0 in front. No matter what happens in a game, or how long or short the losing streak lasts, as long as you have 0 wins, it can’t get worse. That’s a mental burden for the players. If you get a few wins at the beginning of a season, then you have proof of success, something to fall back on and draw ideas from.
Dylan Falco, Schalke 04 Coach
Falco notes that he has been with Schalke for two years now, and every time, they have such an “ugly losing streak.” Apparently, the past plays a part as well.
According to Falco, the issue when one loses as much as Schalke does is that they tend to be afraid of what the opponent does. Now, they want to focus more on what they can do well and do that.
No one beats Schalke … 9 times in a row
That was the first win: Last weekend, Schalke surprisingly achieved their first victory. They defeated the nominal top team Fnatic with 15-1 in just 32 minutes. Fnatic seemed completely off during the match and faced a lot of ridicule for losing to Schalke.
The success of Schalke was also sarcastically commented on. On reddit , it says: “Guys, let’s not overreact … but Worlds, here we come!”
This meme about Schalke’s only victory is circulating on reddit. Source: reddit
Even the caster ridiculed Schalke’s victory a bit, saying, “Let everyone know: No one beats Schalke 9 times in a row.”
This is a saying that goes back to tennis player Vitas Gerulaitis, who lost 16 times in a row to Jimmy Connors. When he finally won, he said: “Let this be a lesson to all. No one beats Vitas Gerulaitis 17 times in a row.”
Schalke participates and ironically presents confidence after the victory.
The saying is picked up and repeated on reddit. A sign that an actual loser is basking in the glory of his triumph, even if it may not be entirely appropriate.
Schalke has also used this saying themselves (Via twitter). Humorous clips from Schalke on Twitter show that they are aware of the quirky situation currently and deal with the ridicule lightly.
The former championship coach of Fnatic: Joey “YOungBuck” Steltenpool.
Fnatic also seems to be somewhat off this split. The team around star player Rekkles is underperforming. There were hints of this back in November 2019, when the team’s successful coach left. What he said upon leaving must have troubled every fan of the team:
World of Warcraft just got a new shop mount. Long-term subscribers get it for free and can take off directly.
It has now become a rhythm for Blizzard to implement a new mount in the World of Warcraft shop about every six months. This has happened again, as a new “Scrap Dragon” can now be purchased. However, those who have been loyal to WoW for a long time will receive the mount for free and do not need to pay anything.
What kind of mount is this? The Steamscale Incinerator is clearly a dragon, albeit an unusual one. Instead of hatching from an egg, it was built by the Mechagnomes, who assembled it from various scrap and parts. It is clearly a mechanical mount, which you can see here in the video:

How much does the mount cost? Those who want to buy the Steamscale Incinerator directly must pay €25 in the shop. However, it can also be purchased as usual using WoW Tokens, which is the exchange of gold for currency for the Battle.net account.
However, those who are existing subscribers and currently have an active 6-month subscription or are signing up for one now will receive the Scrap Dragon as a gift and should be able to redeem it in the “Gifts” section of the Battle.net account. Then the mount will be waiting for you in the game upon your next login. As a “subscription bonus,” the mount is available only until August 11, after which it can only be obtained through the shop.
In the “Gifts” section, you can pick up the mount.
Why does Blizzard release these mounts? For Blizzard, the mounts are a good way to keep players engaged with World of Warcraft long-term and to maintain active subscriptions even during content droughts. At the same time, it is a nice, passive reward for loyal players who already maintain a permanent subscription to WoW.
What do you think of the new mount? Have you already gotten it or will you acquire it with a long-term subscription? Or are you passing on the mount?

This is the overview: The colleagues from Pokébattler have created a comprehensive overview of all the grunts and bosses that you can currently battle:
For example, the grunt with Ice Pokémon is back. There you can now catch Shnebedeck. Additionally, you once again have the chance to obtain Shadow Relaxo.
What do the bosses have? The new Pokémon of the bosses have been known for a little longer. They all have a new first Pokémon that you can also catch afterwards:
Which grunts are worth it? None of the grunts still have Lapras with them. This is only available through Sierra. Therefore, there are no Shiny from the grunts anymore.
In terms of usability, the grunts with Machollo, Magnetilo, Elektek, Dratini, and Relaxo are useful. They or their evolutions are among the best attackers or are just incredibly rare to obtain.
How long will this last? The new Pokémon are likely to be a long-lasting change. Recently we could battle against the same Pokémon from the Rocket Stops for months.
Currently, you also have the chance to obtain Shadow Suicune from Giovanni. In our counter guide to Rocket Boss Giovanni, we show you how you can fight successfully.

With update 20 and season 1 in Fallout 76, not only has the legendary race been added, but Bethesda has also introduced mysterious radio signals into the game.
What’s happening: With update 20, the legendary race and thus season 1 have been released. The race itself, by the way, takes a lot of time and is hardly achievable. A message in the “Out of the Vault” article on Bethesda’s official Fallout 76 page about the update has left the community puzzled:
One last thing: Have you listened to the radio in your Pip-Boy lately? Apparently, a new transmission has infiltrated in the past few days, but we can only hear noise. Perhaps those with a higher perception can understand more and decipher this cryptic message for us.
When you log into Fallout 76, you will discover two new radio signals in your Pip-Boy, one of which is encrypted. If your perception skill is high enough, you can better understand the messages being transmitted. In total, there are 5 messages to decrypt.
The roadmap of Fallout 76 already reveals the arrival of the Brotherhood of Steel
This is the Brotherhood of Steel: The Brotherhood of Steel is a faction in the Fallout universe that was founded by United States military officer Roger Maxson after the Great War.
They are a religious, technological organization, almost like a knightly order, consisting of descendants from the military. Their goal is to recover and preserve any technology. As a result, the Brotherhood of Steel is one of the most technologically advanced groups in post-apocalyptic America.
Warning, we are entering spoiler territory!
This is what the messages say: Two new radio stations can be found in the Pip-Boy. The encrypted signal contains 5 messages, and the weak signal from the Brotherhood repeats one message.
This is what an encrypted message looks like in the Spectrograph
These are the 5 encrypted messages
Message 1: First Expedition Team, this is L-H with a recorded Priority Gamma message. Papa Romeo has missed the last four check-ins. No contact since crossing the Rocky Mountains. Writers estimate the unit’s position near Lincoln. The command is to restore communication with L-H as soon as possible and provide a full report on whereabouts and activities since the last contact. Confirmation on coded channel Two Three. L-H out. Message repeats.
Message 2: First Expedition Team, this is Lost Hills with a recorded message with Priority Alpha. No response to previous transmissions from Papa Romeo (Paladin Rahmani) or other unit members. Lost Hills now assumes the unit cannot respond. All surviving unit members are instructed to deviate immediately from the main mission. Confirm on coded channel One Eight. Lost Hills out. Message repeats.
Message 3: First Expedition Team, this is L-H with a recorded message Priority E1. Writers now estimate the unit’s position somewhere east of the Mississippi based on pre-departure schedules. No confirmation from Papa Romeo or other unit members. If a suitable transmission system cannot be secured, the First Expedition Team is hereby instructed to continue the original mission and establish communication from the target location. Confirmation on coded channel Four Seven. L-H out. Message repeats.
Message 4: This is Elder Roger Maxson speaking to Paladin Leila Rahmani over a secure private channel. I have sent the writers away. This message will not be recorded in the logs. I am not speaking to you now as your Elder or commanding officer, but as a friend. Leila, I know you and we have had our differences, but I still believe that you understand the value and purpose of the Brotherhood. You wanted this mission, yet I am sure you have doubts about why you were chosen. I still hope that you simply cannot respond to our transmissions. We may not see eye to eye, but you know the code and are sworn to it. The alternative… I don’t even want to imagine. For now, I have suppressed this proposal among the officials and kept it out of our other attempts to reach you, but if you do not respond soon, I may be overruled. Your mission out there is important, no matter what you think. You are still one of us. Still a Paladin of the Brotherhood. Transmission on any Brotherhood channel, encryption doesn’t matter – just respond. Maxson out. Message repeats.
Message 5: First Expedition Team, this is L-H. Elder Maxson’s recording: Paladin Rahmani, your unit has had no contact with the Brotherhood headquarters for over three months. Our writers estimate that your unit should soon enter Appalachia and approach the ATLAS Observatory. It is imperative that your first task after securing the facility is to restore communication and provide a full report of your activities during the period of radio silence. You now represent the Brotherhood in Appalachia. If you restore contact with us, there will once again be a Brotherhood on both sides of this land, and your actions will be forever written in the scrolls. Adhere to the code. Conduct yourself with honor. Maxson out. Message repeats.
What do the messages mean? The 5 messages indicate that the team led by Paladin Leila Rahmani has lost contact with base for months. They are on their way to Appalachia to take over the ATLAS Observatory as a base.
The second transmitter is not encrypted and plays a message from Rahmani. She announces the takeover of the observatory:
This is Paladin Rhamani of the Brotherhood of Steel speaking. I am transmitting this message to the people in Appalachia. We are on a long-term path to your region. We will take over the ATLAS Observatory as an operational base. Consider this a warning to anyone occupying the facility. It will belong to us. This matter is not up for negotiation. Know that we come in peace. We will offer the people of Appalachia help and protection.
Supplies for construction and repairs are to be delivered to the Atlas Observatory before our arrival. Your cooperation guarantees our ability to secure a better future for Appalachia. Be a part of this future. Help us.
This was Paladin Rhamani, First Expedition Team. The Brotherhood returns, see you soon. Rhamani out. Message repeats.
Paladin Leila Rhamani
What does this mean for the player? You can already see changes to the ATLAS Observatory. It is no longer accessible, and construction robots are roaming around.
In the Summer Update trailer for Fallout 76, you can see at minute 1:12 how the observatory will change:

With update 22 and the start of season 2 in September, you will receive a new quest line “Steel Dawn”, where you will deal with the Brotherhood of Steel.
However, how the story will unfold is still unknown. The connection to headquarters may have been interrupted by an accident, or Paladin Rhamani plans to betray the Brotherhood and establish her own branch.
In season 1, you can already complete 2 community events for the Brotherhood:
August 8 to August 17: Fortifying ATLAS: Community Project Alpha
August 29 to September 9: Fortifying ATLAS: Community Project Bravo
The timeline lists the planned events
It is suspected that you will need to gather resources for these events and deliver them at the ATLAS Observatory so that the construction of the base can progress. This will likely be exactly the help Paladin Leila Rhamani is asking from you in her message.
With the start of season 3 sometime in winter, the faction will have fully arrived in Appalachia and will bring new quests, NPCs, and companions.
Are you already looking forward to the events and the return of the Brotherhood of Steel? Or do you have a certain aversion to this knightly order that will stop at nothing to achieve its goals.

Valorant has caused quite a controversy with the crazy dragons from the “Elder Flame” set. Many fans celebrate the skins, others are upset about the high price, and yet others find the skins irritating. However, the developers can imagine much crazier designs. Possibly in a cyberpunk style.
Which skins are involved?It’s about the ultra skin package “Elder Flame”. This was released on July 10, 2020, in the game and transformed four of your weapons into wild, roaring, and fire-breathing dragons! Since these skins are quite the most elaborate and crazy that there has been in Valorant, they belong to the highest price category as “Ultra Skins”. The entire bundle costs 95 euros, and many players find that far too much.
But some players are also bothered by the design. Some feel that the animations and the wriggling of the creatures are disturbing. Others have a problem with the concept that you would “insert” a magazine into a living dragon, and the trigger would have to be located somewhere in the groin area of the creature.
For those who reject these concepts, the following news will not be pleasing. Because the developers apparently have many more outrageous ideas for skins!
Developers can imagine even crazier stuff – Is cyberpunk coming?
What do the developers say on the subject? In an interview with Polygon, the developers commented on the creation of the skins and their further ideas. They reported that the skins were quickly conceived as an idea, but that the implementation posed significant challenges.
One major challenge was the thick sniper rifle, the Operator. The creature has wings, and when you fiddle with them, it would indeed cover half the playing field. They were close to completely dropping the currently very popular weapon until they found a reasonable solution.
The Frenzy as a dragon.
In order for the weapons not to become an expensive option of “Pay2Lose” and pose disadvantages for the players, they had experienced players test the skins for hours in the top rankings until they had no concerns left.
Here’s how it might continue: In conclusion, the developers provided a small outlook on the future of the crazy skins in Valorant. Because those who found dragons totally crazy can look forward to even stranger ideas. The developers want to unleash their creativity in the event of success and good reception of the dragons.
However, they haven’t revealed exactly what they have in mind yet. But there are data miners for that…
This speaks for cyberpunk skins in a few weeks
What has been found out? The data miners from “Valorant Express” have dug through the game’s files. Deep in the data mines, they eventually found concrete hints of a package called “Cyberpunk”. This contains skins for the following weapons in the game:
The fully automatic shotgun Judge
The lightweight assault rifle Bulldog
The heavy machine gun Odin
The small automatic pistol Frenzy
A knife
If this leak turns out to be true, the Judge and Frenzy will get a new skin again, as both weapons were already included in the dragon edition.

How do the weapons look? There is still no information on that. The cyberpunk theme, however, addresses clear conventions. So look forward to crazy neon color effects, lots of chrome, and analog cables!
Will the cyberpunk skins be the next ultra bundle? There was no information gained from the dive into the data shaft regarding that either. However, if the skins are indeed ultra edition material, they are sure to overflow with effects and crazy designs.
This is how cyberpunk skins looked in Fortnite.
When could the weapons come? According to the data miners, the new skins should be released in about 2 weeks. That would be around July 24, 2020. But keep in mind that this is based on data mining rumors. In the end, there might not be any cyberpunk weapons at all.
In the smartphone hit Call of Duty: Mobile, there are a lot of news! Season 8 has started and brings you new maps, modes, and a Battle Pass.
What’s happening in CoD Mobile right now? The game has now entered Season 8, titled “The Forge”. This brings a lot of new things to discover.
We will show you all the new features in Season 8 and tell you if the game is worth it again with the adjustments.
All new features with Season 8 in CoD Mobile
What the new season brings: The list of adjustments is long and you can look forward to new things in almost every area:
The map Highrise from Modern Warfare 2 is coming as a multiplayer map to CoD Mobile
In Battle Royale, there is a new zone called “Safehouse”
The 5-on-1 mode “Juggernaut” is coming
A completely new Battle Pass rewards you with weapons, skins, and other items
Seasonal challenges
With Kantana, a new operator ability is coming
Numerous adjustments to the game and weapons for better balance
What is this new map? The map Highrise is known from Modern Warfare 2 and is a medium-sized map. It takes place on a large building that is currently under construction.
This is the new map in the game.
How does the new mode work? In the Juggernaut mode, it could become a real slaughter. One player dons an XS1 Goliath suit and moves like a giant robot across the map, searching for his 5 opponents.
The 5 opponents must play wisely together to defeat the powerful enemy.
What’s in the Battle Pass? The Battle Pass is full of new stuff for your rounds. At level 21, you can unlock the new weapon DR-H. This is an assault rifle.
Additionally, there are 4 new characters that you can play as, and you can even unlock a tank.

What else is there? Through a seasonal challenge, you can unlock the HBRa3. This is also an assault rifle that you can earn.
Is it worth getting into CoD Mobile? If you haven’t checked out CoD Mobile for a long time or ever, you can seize the opportunity now. The mobile game had a huge influx, especially at launch, and was more successful than Fortnite at that time.
You can play through a large part of the Battle Pass without spending money and even unlock a strong rifle. Additionally, there is the new map that may evoke old memories for you.
With Season 8, a lot has changed again in CoD Mobile, and it is time to discover everything. You can even experience this with a controller. In our guide, we explain how you can play CoD Mobile with a controller.

A profession will probably be dropped in World of Warcraft Shadowlands. At least Blizzard does not want to bring any new content for it.
In the upcoming WoW expansion, most professions will be important, as they can contribute to the creation of legendary equipment. However, a secondary profession may fall by the wayside. It seems like there will be no new content for archaeology.
What was said? In an interview with the French site Judgehype, Patrick Dawson from Blizzard briefly talked about archaeology. He mentioned that this profession primarily deals with the peoples living on Azeroth. Consequently, there will be no expansion of archaeology in the Shadowlands.
So those who hoped to unearth relics of the Kyrian or Venthyr will be left disappointed.
Has this happened before? In a similar form, yes. At the end of the “Legion” expansion, Blizzard already bid farewell to First Aid and largely divided the recipes among tailors and alchemists. However, such an end for archaeology is rather unlikely. It is likely that simply no new content will be produced for it anymore – at least not in Shadowlands.
The end of archaeology? At least nothing new is coming.
Cortyn says: Honestly, I find it a bit sad how archaeology has changed over the years. In Legion it was really cool – the profession had a purpose. You could complete a cool quest every two weeks and got a really nice reward. In Battle for Azeroth it was already significantly less, everything seemed much less caring and just a bothersome duty to continue the profession. I find it unfortunate that archaeology is now “on ice” – but it’s probably better than getting a second Battle for Azeroth in this profession.
For me, archaeology was always something simple that you could do nicely “on the side” to relax – similar to fishing. I find it a bit disappointing that this will be gone in Shadowlands.
But what is your opinion on this? Did you even use archaeology? Or will you not miss the profession?

The loot shooter Borderlands 3 offers players 4 different Vault Hunters, each with 3 skill trees. This could change soon. A leak has appeared on Reddit reporting new skill trees and action skills.
What is this leak about? Over on the Borderlands 3 Reddit, a post by the user DelusionPhantom has surfaced. He states that he is about 80% sure he found new skill trees and action skills for the Vault Hunters in Borderlands 3 through data mining.
With the help of two other users, Jaykobin and chancehugs, he was able to refine the data further. We at MeinMMO want to share this information with you and reveal what is known about the supposed new skill trees.
More versatility for your Vault Hunters
Not much is known yet about the individual skill trees and action skills. However, the data miners have already provided some names and the first content details.
This is new for FL4K: The new skill tree of the Beastmaster FL4K is said to be called “Gravity Trap,” just like the associated action skill. This roughly translates to “Gravity Trap.”
The exact effects of this attack are not yet clear. However, according to the leak, it is already confirmed that the associated pet will be a Loader Bot. Additionally, there is said to be a talent hidden in the new skill tree that allows FL4K to summon all his pets to the field.
The 4 Vault Hunters in Borderlands 3: FL4K, Moze, Amara, and Zane
This tree is for Moze: Moze’s new action skill and associated skill tree are said to be called “Iron Cub.” So like a little iron puppy.
It is reportedly not an extension of the existing bear, but a smaller version. It is supposed to function like a pet or toy.
This is changing for Zane: The Vault Hunter Zane will receive a Shoulder Cannon, basically a shoulder-mounted gun.
This is supposed to be a skill he can use once or with a few charges, similar to FL4K’s Rakk Attack. This could allow him to use his skills more versatile. For example, after an action skill and not only during.
This is how it looks for Amara: Very little is known about Amara’s new skill tree or action skill. Not even a name is mentioned. However, it seems to be something related to her Phasegrasp.
The Siren Amara is quite left out in the leak
What is true about this leak remains to be seen. We are definitely excited to see if there will be new skill trees and action skills in Borderlands 3 soon.
This would open up many new builds and possibilities. Until then, you might want to choose a new weapon from our list of all legendary weapons and try out a new playstyle.

In the League of Legends , the new champion Lillia will be arriving soon. Players can earn an item “Lillia’s Haiku” on the test server PBE. It is assumed that this item will grant the champion Lillia for free upon the release of patch 10.15 on July 22nd. We will tell you how to obtain this item.
This is the item in question: On June 30th, the item “Lillia’s Haiku” was discovered in the data of the test server. The item description states: “You discovered Lillia in the forest. Openable on July 22, 2020 at 9 PM.”
A new loot item is now on the PBE: Lillia’s Haiku “You discovered Lillia in the forest. Openable on July 22nd, 2020 at 12:00 p.m PT.” pic.twitter.com/0XndwkX4Ay
Now, LoL players believe: Those who earn Lillia’s Haiku can unlock the champion for free on July 22nd at 9 PM, thus saving the 7,800 Blue Essences or the Riot Points that one would otherwise spend on the champion, which means saving real money.
A new champion in LoL normally costs 975 Riot Points, which is about €7, depending on the packages purchased.
Is this safe? It is not 100% safe and officially announced by Riot Games, but there is hardly any doubt that “Lillia’s Haiku” will unlock the champion Lillia. Everything currently points in that direction. If it weren’t so, Riot Games would be somewhat trolling.
This is the new jungler Lillia.
The role of Jungler is now in demand on the test server
This is how you get Lillia’s Haiku: To obtain the item, you must achieve “350 takedowns as a jungler.” These are “assists or kills” while clearly claiming the role of jungler in a matchmaking game:
You must join the test server PBE
then create matchmade games in Summoner’s Rift and select the role “Jungler”. It doesn’t matter whether you play Normal, Ranked, or Bot. However, ARAM does not work
Play until you have 350 assists or kills.
Presumably, you can complete the task until Lillia officially appears on July 22nd with patch 10.15.
Is this safe? This has been speculated for a long time. Because officially, nothing is certain about this topic. Players had to discover the method to obtain Lillia’s Haiku through “trial and error”.
But since this morning at 4 AM, it seems that this method of gathering 350 takedowns as a jungler has proven effective. Previously, it was suspected that obtaining the item had something to do with “Thresh” or mysterious voice lines.
But it seems to be as “mechanical” as some report on reddit (via reddit). These players were then able to obtain the item in-game.
LoL players get the new champion Lillia for free in bot games
This is how players do it in practice: As can be read on reddit, friends arrange to play against the easiest bots and then ensure that the jungler gets the maximum assists and kills per round.
Then they take turns playing as jungler.
The next champion should be coming soon as well.
We have talked a lot about Lillia in the last few days, but it looks like the next champion is also coming to League of Legends soon. The 150th champion Yone has a special backstory. Because unlike Lillia, he appeared earlier in League of Legends and was actually already dead:
An LMG is currently gaining quite a few new followers in Call of Duty: Warzone. The big YouTuber “Vikkstar123” is one of them and recently showcased a setup that nearly broke his kill record with 33 kills.
What weapon are we talking about? This is all about the “Season 3” weapon Bruen Mk9. The light machine gun (LMG) is similar to the American machine gun “M294 LMG”, a modified version of the “FN Minimi” from the Belgian defense contractor “Fabrique National Herstal”.
Here you can find the strong setup of a well-known Warzone YouTuber with meaningful gameplay and more information about the LMG that you definitely should try out.
Stable Bruen Mk9 Setup for Warzone
This setup is recommended by the big YouTuber “Vikkstar123” who brings a lot of content for Warzone on his channel and usually presents the setup used in his gameplay recordings.
Here you can find his English video where he collects a total of 100 kills with a 4-man squad in the “BR 200” mode, contributing 33 kills himself. He was just short of his record of 35 kills. Most kills are made with the Bruen Mk9 at medium to long distances, showcasing the impressive performance that the weapon delivers in Warzone:

How does the Bruen Mk9 play? With this setup, you get an assault rifle-like LMG that proves to be very stable. The long barrel and optic help you achieve accurate hits, even at long distances. The Monolithic Suppressor increases the range further, and when you shoot with the weapon, the enemy does not get a notification on their mini-map.
The crucial attachment is the 60-Round Magazine. This allows you to move noticeably faster and increases your ADS speed. Together with the “Tactical Laser”, the Bruen becomes an AR-LMG hybrid that plays very similarly to the Grau 5.56 but offers more damage. However, the time to aim down sights is higher.
Bruen Mk9 Rises to the Top of Warzone Weapons
Why is this so strong in Warzone now? The Grau 5.56 is still performing very well after the nerf with the biggest weapon update in MW since release. However, it is no longer the overpowered weapon it used to be.
Many players are therefore trying once again alternatives to the Grau 5.56 and opting for weapons that deliver very similar performance but possibly align better with their playstyle. The Bruen is one of these alternatives, as it is quite stable to play, offers a better time-to-kill (TTK), but takes a bit longer to aim down sights.
Here is the damage comparison of the two strong weapons, with typical Warzone setups:
Left: TTK without time to aim down sights / Right: TTK with time to aim down sights Source: codgundata
Even if you factor in the time to aim down sights, the Bruen remains ahead from about 50 meters and outperforms the former God-tier weapon Grau 5.56. So, if you are currently looking for a valid replacement for the Grau or just want to try something new, grab the Bruen and clear some space in Verdansk. The LMG is currently one of the best weapons in the Battle Royale, like the semi-automatic weapon FAL, which offers fantastic TTK.

In Pokémon GO, Jessie and James from Team Rocket are now available. You must defeat both grunts for a chance at Crypto-Shinies. We will show you how to defeat Team Rocket here.
How do you get Jessie and James?The two grunts are on their Meowth balloon. When you see this balloon floating over your map, you can interact with it to challenge Jessie and James.
Both grunts use different Pokémon, and if you have the wrong team, you can definitely lose. To prevent that from happening, we will show you the best counters against Jessie and James.
How to defeat Jessie – The best counters
Which Pokémon does Jessie use? If you press on the balloon, you will first fight against Jessie. She uses the following 3 Pokémon:
Ekans
Scyther
Hatchling
In the end, you might encounter an Ekans. If you’re lucky, it could even be shiny.
The Crypto version of Ekans as shiny.
How do you defeat Jessie? You have many Pokémon to choose from. A good choice is, for instance, a strong ice-type Pokémon like Mamoswine. This way, you can deal with Ekans first and then effectively hit Scyther and Hatchling with charge attacks.
Rock-type Pokémon like Rhyperior or Tyranitar are also a good choice.
Is the battle difficult? It’s really not that challenging. As long as you have strong Pokémon in your team and are not completely ineffective against the 3 monsters, it should be no problem.
How to defeat James – The best counters
Which Pokémon does James use? After you defeat Jessie, James is waiting for you. He also has 3 solid Pokémon:
Magnemite
Sneasel
Tan growth
After a victory, you are guaranteed to receive a Crypto-Magnemite. This can also be shiny with some luck.
Crypto-Magnemite can be shiny.
How to defeat James? A good option here is Lucario. With its fast charge attack Power-Up Punch, it can deal a lot of damage and is even four times effective against Sneasel.
An alternative could be ground-type Pokémon, like Rhyperior. This method will also work nicely against James.
Is the battle difficult? Sneasel might give you some trouble, but if you have a good counter against it, it should not be a problem. Just use a strong Pokémon that is effective, and you will be successful.
How do I defeat the Rocket bosses? The 3 Rocket bosses Cliff, Arlo, and Sierra are significantly more difficult to beat. Accordingly, we have prepared a big guide for you that shows how to defeat the 3 bosses.
