In the League of Legends, a Chinese LoL pro was harshly punished by his team. The jungler Yan “Wei” Yang-Weit (17) had forgotten to select the summoner spell Smite before the match. His team punished him by withholding a month’s salary.
This was the mistake: The jungler forgot to select the summoner spell “Smite” before the match and instead started with “Ignite.”
The summoner spell “Smite” is what actually makes a normal LoL champ a jungler:
Only those with Smite can purchase crucial “Jungle Items” that are essential for effectively killing the PvE opponents in the jungle while regenerating health points
With Smite, you can also take down PvE opponents
Without Smite, effective jungling is nearly impossible, especially not in low-level play
Wei played the cigar-smoking brawler Graves.
This is how the match went: It was a league match between eStar (currently ranked 12th in the LPL) and Bilibili Gaming (ranked 14th), it was a duel in the lower half of the league, where 17 teams compete against each other.
When Wei’s team noticed the mistake, they tried to convince the referee to call off the match and order a rematch where the jungler would then choose Smite. However, the referee refused.
The team resolved to play particularly well now, to act as a team, seek out team fights, and make up for the jungler’s mistake. They reassured themselves that it was not such a big deal.
In a Twitter clip with English subtitles, you can read and see how eStar’s team dealt with the situation and tried to motivate themselves.

But even though the team performed quite well, the disadvantage from the jungler was too great. They lost the first match in 33 minutes.
Their own jungler Wei had a score of 2/6/12 and was two levels behind the opposing jungler. The jungler without Smite was clearly a vulnerability.
In the second game of the “Best of Three” series, Wei as a jungler (with Smite) turned it around, was able to dominate the match, and won for his team. Wei also played well in match 3, but eStar lost the match and the series despite his good performance.
This is the punishment: Although jungler Wei apologized to his teammates and coaches, he was harshly punished.
The team announced that they would deduct his salary for one month and express criticism to avoid such mistakes in the future.
In China, life as a LoL pro is tough, as a report from CNN in January 2020 reveals about the dark side of eSports. Performance is absolutely in focus, competition for the few pro spots is fierce, and careers are short.
He also made a terrible mistake before the match.
Players often make mistakes in MOBAs, but for someone to make such a blunder before the match starts like Wei is rare. Even worse, a DOTA 2 pro severely failed at character selection on the biggest stage, the tournament “The International,” much to the delight of the opponents and his own dismay:
In Pokémon GO there are now new raid bosses to find. We show you the list of new opponents and reveal which raid bosses are particularly worthwhile.
Why are there new raid bosses?Zekrom has entered the legendary raids and has also brought along suitable other raid bosses. These are Pokémon that can be used well as counters against Zekrom.
There are now some interesting counter Pokémon available, and rare shinies are currently available in the raids.
List of raid bosses for Zekrom
This is the list: The Pokémon have been compiled by trainers in the Subreddit of TheSilphRoad. They have all been sighted in raids:
Some of the Pokémon are good counters against Zekrom.
Which raid bosses are worthwhile? Strong counters against Zekrom include Sniebel, Keifel, and Stalobor. They or their evolutions are among the top counters.
Practibalk is also always useful. Its evolution Meistagrif is one of the best fighting attackers. For PvP, Alola-Raichu, Azumarill, Alola-Knogga, and Togetic are worthwhile. You can find them or their evolutions in our tier lists on the best PvP Pokémon.
The Alola Pokémon are also of interest to shiny hunters. For example, Raichu and Knogga can only be found in raids and are therefore among the rarest shinies in the game.
How long will the raid bosses last? The raid bosses will be available until the end of Zekrom at most. A precise date is not yet known, but one can expect about 3 weeks.
In between, some events will still take place, which may bring different raid bosses for that event period. After that, however, the above-mentioned raid bosses are likely to return.

In Fortnite Season 3 Chapter 2 has launched and brought some changes to the Fortnite map. A tsunami has largely flooded the map. We show you how the game world looks now.
This tsunami has now likely hit the Fortnite Island, as it has been largely flooded. This has impacted known locations which now look different and a new location has even emerged. Some of these locations could already be seen in the trailer for Season 3.
This is what the Fortnite map looks like now:
A new location on the Fortnite map
Which location is new? A location that hasn’t existed before is: The Fortilla. It is located in the swamp area on the map, but now there are several buildings there. It consists of various little islands, each with a building found on it.
This is what the new location “The Fortilla” looks like
8 known locations that are “new” to discover
If you look at the new Fortnite map, there are once again several locations marked with question marks. This means you can “discover” these “new” places. However, these are not unknown locations.
The Agency – New look and name
What’s different now? The Agency no longer looks like it did before. Instead of white, The Agency now shines in dark colors. It is surrounded by high walls and guard posts.
Additionally, the location has received a new name. It is now called: The Authority. The whole thing looks a bit like a prison.
The Agency is now The Authority
The Rig becomes Rickety Rig
What’s different now? The Rig has not only received a new name, but it also looks completely different now. Once there was a huge building on stilts above the water, and now you can only see individual, small buildings far apart.
The tsunami seems to have hit The Rig hard.
This is now Rickety Rig
Box Factory becomes Henchmen Hideout
What’s different now? In Season 3, we still can’t get rid of the henchmen. They are now plentiful at “Catty Corner”. This location used to be known as the Box Factory, where the cat Meowscles was banished after Deadpool took over his yacht.
The Box Factory is now Catty Corner
More locations have been flooded or damaged by the tsunami. There are changes at:
Steamy Stacks
Pleasant Park
Frenzy Farm
Sweaty Sands
Salty Springs
Sweaty Sands
Pleasant Park
Frenzy Farm
Salty Springs
Steamy Stacks
But Season 3 not only brought some map changes. There is also a brand new Battle Pass that players can purchase. With this, you can unlock the Drift Crew and even Aquaman is available as a bonus. We present to you all the Battle Pass skins of Season 3 and which ones you can expect soon.

The Guardian Takedown in Borderlands 3 has really pushed players to their limits. This caused criticism – to which Gearbox responded with a hotfix.
Unusual timing for a hotfix: Borderlands 3 usually releases a new hotfix or patch every Thursday to address issues or introduce new content. However, the current hotfix came overnight from Tuesday to Wednesday and aims to solve an issue in the Guardian Takedown:
Today we will release a hotfix for #Borderlands3 that will be live by 2PM PT. This update significantly reduces enemy mob health in Takedown at the Guardian Breach. pic.twitter.com/pFdVcUkePH
The hotfix is expected to noticeably reduce the health points of enemies in the Guardian Takedown. This should make at least parts of the Takedown easier to handle, as the bullet sponges have given many players quite a hard time. However, that wasn’t the only point of criticism.
Will the Takedown be further changed?
This is the situation: After the Takedown was introduced with the last major patch along with several changes, many players dove into the new challenge, which is intentionally designed to be difficult. But it quickly became clear that the Takedown is quite merciless – apparently too merciless.
In addition to the bullet sponges, players criticized the tough jumping sections with invisible targets. Also, a sequence where crystals need to be charged led to quick deaths because it wasn’t clear that multiple had to be attended to at the same time. There are also plenty of immunity phases in boss fights. Has Gearbox gone too far here?
In any case, the current hotfix might only be the first of several changes. Already over the weekend, the Borderlands 3 Twitter channel announced that “a few adjustments” will be made:
Thank you to everyone who has played Takedown at the Guardian Breach since the patch! We have some adjustments in the works based on player feedback, starting with a reduction to enemy health early next week. More info to come! pic.twitter.com/dykqSW6z7p
The reduction of enemy health points should, according to the tweet, be the first step. To what extent the rest of the Takedown will be adjusted remains to be seen.
It is possible that the next hotfix, expected to arrive on Thursday, will also deal with the Takedown. By the way, the story will continue in just over a week: the next Borderlands 3 DLC is set to transport you to a Wild West world.

Cheaters spawned members of the Ku Klux Klan in Red Dead Online, the multiplayer of Red Dead Redemption 2. They harassed other players. Now Rockstar Games has put an end to this racist cheat.
In other cases, their behavior is not funny. Like recently, when they spawned members of the Ku Klux Klan in the online world and harassed other players.
How could this happen? The KKK is actually not part of the online world of Red Dead Redemption 2. These characters should only be found in the campaign. The Klan consists of foolish people who accidentally set themselves on fire after a while because they stand too close to the fire with their white sheets. If you want honor in singleplayer, you kill the KKK members.
Cheaters then exploited these characters with mod menus and spawned them in the online world using cheats. A player in the Red Dead Online subreddit reports that such racist content has increased recently. (via reddit)
What this looks like in the game is shown by Twitter user Fanfusuzi. “Someone thinks it’s funny to spawn the KKK in Red Dead Online,” he writes on June 4. Due to the current situation in the USA, he wishes that Rockstar Games would do something about it.

Here’s what happened next: On June 16, Twitter user Tez2, who closely follows updates for RDO and GTA Online, stated that there was a new PC update. “Cheaters can no longer spawn KKK peds and attack other players.”

How did Rockstar do this? Tez2 explains, “It [the game] checks whether you are online. It detects an event that spawns peds. If this ped model matches one of the KKK models, it is immediately deleted.”
This is what Rockstar Games has to say about it: In a statement to Washington Post, Rockstar addressed the incident.
We are aware of some individuals who have used cheat tools to create racist character models and messages in Red Dead Online.
We take these actions very seriously, and in accordance with our guidelines, any form of racist and abusive behavior in the game is not tolerated, and all players who violate these guidelines will be banned.
On June 4, Rockstar Games took the servers of GTA Online and Red Dead Online offline for a few hours. This measure was related to the Black Lives Matter movement. During the time that the servers were unreachable, a memorial service for George Floyd took place.
This stunt creates better vibes in Red Dead Redemption 2. An extreme sleigh ride with a cowboy, which was celebrated by hundreds of thousands of people on reddit. You have to see it.

The PS5 design has been revealed and it is said to be quite large. If you want to see how the PS5 will look in your home, all you need is an “Augmented Reality” capable smartphone. With the help of an AR app, you can now try out how the PS5 could look in your home.
Many are now wondering whether the new PS5 design will even fit in the living room or TV cabinet. If you have the same concerns, there is a simple trick that allows you to place the design in your living room right now.
How does it work? On Sketchlab, there is an unofficial 3D model of the PlayStation 5. You can move this into your own home using Augmented Reality.
The uploaded model does not come from Sony itself; fans recreated the model based on the presented video.
What do you need for this? With the help of Sketchlab and an AR-capable smartphone, you can easily bring the 3D model into your home. We will explain what you need to pay attention to.
If you call up the PS5 design via Sketchlab, you can start the AR mode at the bottom right (marked in yellow). Image source: Screenshot.
PS5 Design in your living room? It’s that easy
If you are using Android, first check if you have the Google Play services for AR (via play.google.com) installed. You need this if you want to use Augmented Reality fully.
iOS users do not need an extra app.
Now visit the official page of Sketchlab, where you will find the unofficial 3D model of the PS5.
If you open the page with an AR-compatible Android or iOS smartphone, you can now click on AR at the bottom right. The process may take a moment.
After that, you scan the possible position for the PS5 in your home. After the scanning process, the 3D model will appear automatically.
The process is free; you do not need to purchase the 3D model.
This is what the PS5 looks like in a self-test in the living room.
How do I find out if my smartphone is AR-compatible?
When is my smartphone AR-compatible? Most modern smartphones already support Augmented Reality, but there are a few things you need to pay attention to:
On Android, your smartphone must support at least Android 7.0 or newer, otherwise the app cannot be installed.
On Apple devices, starting from the iPhone 6 or the Apple iPad Pro from the 5th generation, Augmented Reality is supported. However, make sure that iOS version 11 is installed.
Does the PS5 fit in your living room, is it too big, or does it just not fit the design? Share the experiences you have gathered.
Since the reveal of the official design, there has been much discussion about the design of the PlayStation 5. And especially the size of the PS5 could offer a great advantage: With the official PS5 design, Sony could mainly grasp the overheating issue that the PS4 and also the PS4 Pro struggled with.

The players’ concern is quite clear: the new restrictions will not help but will only lead to bots creating characters on multiple realms. Once they reach the instance limit on one realm, they simply switch realms and continue.
What do you think of Blizzard’s solution? A good decision, April Fool’s joke or not? Or can this not be the answer to bots?
Some, like AlphaTangoFoxtrt, are really angry and explain:
And don’t forget that it only counts per realm. So all the bots have to do is log from realm to realm. This fixes nothing and only punishes the players.
The players’ concern is quite clear: the new restrictions will not help but will only lead to bots creating characters on multiple realms. Once they reach the instance limit on one realm, they simply switch realms and continue.
What do you think of Blizzard’s solution? A good decision, April Fool’s joke or not? Or can this not be the answer to bots?
Blizzard’s approach against bots in WoW Classic is a joke – and literally so. It actually comes from old “April, April” patch notes.
However, some players do not find Blizzard’s solution funny at all, as it was actually an April Fool’s joke from 2006.
What was that April Fool’s joke? In the past, Blizzard regularly published “fake patch notes” on April 1st. These contained changes that never made it into the game and were meant to fool players. One of these changes from 2006 reads as follows:
With the many improvements made in the endgame dungeons in the last patch, we have decided that it is necessary to limit the number of dungeons a player can visit per day.
This is done to prevent the economy from being flooded with valuable items and to ensure that players do not earn too much gold in a time period that we consider an appropriate playtime. We understand that many players enjoy their repeated visits to their favorite dungeons, which is why we designed these limits to be as non-restrictive as possible.
Each character on a player’s account can visit the same dungeon up to three times per day and a maximum of 5 dungeons within a 24-hour cycle. Remember that each character on your account is counted individually. With eight characters, that’s a maximum of 40 dungeons per day!
That is quite close to the instance limit that Blizzard has introduced today in WoW Classic to deter bots and cheaters.
Many players do not see Blizzard’s actions as a solution, but rather as a way to continue receiving account fees from the bots.
Here are the differences: Unlike the April Fool’s joke from 2006, the instance limit is not the same. In reality, the limit of 30 instances applies to all characters of an account on the same realm. You can therefore visit up to 30 instances with a single character, and not just 5, as the April Fool’s joke had suggested.
This is how players react: In the WoW Classic subreddit, this find is being discussed vigorously. While some are amused that Blizzard has implemented an April Fool’s joke as an actual solution, many players are irritated. They write things like:
HellenKellersMonocle says: “I don’t know whether to laugh, cry, or be angry about this.”
Some, like AlphaTangoFoxtrt, are really angry and explain:
And don’t forget that it only counts per realm. So all the bots have to do is log from realm to realm. This fixes nothing and only punishes the players.
The players’ concern is quite clear: the new restrictions will not help but will only lead to bots creating characters on multiple realms. Once they reach the instance limit on one realm, they simply switch realms and continue.

Season 4 in Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare has just started and new weapons are already being leaked, which will probably be introduced in the next season. Among them are fan favorites that have appeared multiple times in the CoD franchise.
Here’s what happened: Dataminers constantly search for new information in the game files of CoD. With Season 4, two unreleased weapons have appeared in the files:
M200
M200_c
Call of Duty leakers have linked these to the Intervention, a sniper rifle. The SPAS-12, a shotgun, has also been in the CoD game files since the end of February. Two weapons that have made many appearances in the Call of Duty franchise and are popular among fans.

This is the SPAS-12: The Franchi SPAS-12 is a shotgun that has appeared repeatedly in various CoD titles with two different firing modes – semi-automatic and pump-action.
The SPAS-12 fires 8 pellets per shot and is known for its one-shot kills at distances of up to 5 meters.
The stats of the SPAS-12 in Modern Warfare 2
The SPAS-12 has appeared in several Call of Duty titles, making it well-known and popular within the community:
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Mobilized
Call of Duty: Black Ops
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3: Defiance
Call of Duty: Black Ops: Declassified
Call of Duty: Black Ops II
Call of Duty Online
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare
This is the Intervention: The Chey Tac Intervention is a bolt-action sniper rifle. In Modern Warfare Remastered it has 7 shots, a firing rate of 57 rounds per minute, and causes high damage at a high maximum range. The Intervention generally kills its targets with one shot. If the weapon comes, it will be interesting to see how it compares to the strong sniper rifles “AX-50” and “HDR”.
The stats of the Intervention in CoD Mobile
The Intervention has not made as many appearances in Call of Duty, but it has been present in the following titles of the franchise, where it has been favored by fans for its strength:
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Call of Duty Online
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered
When will the weapons come? Since some of the files for the SPAS-12 and Intervention were updated with Season 4, some fans and leakers speculate that the weapons will come into play with the next season. Therefore, Season 5 could bring these two fan favorites. However, the information has not yet been confirmed by the developers.
Season 4 has only just started and is expected to offer a lot of content. This includes new operators, maps, multiplayer modes, and weapons. To find out what content is planned, check out our article on the Call of Duty Warzone and Modern Warfare Roadmap.

With Season 11 came a new armor mod in Destiny 2 that allows you to create really powerful pistol builds. The sidearms become so strong that some power weapons could take a note from them.
This is what the mod is about: With Season 11, a new armor mod was introduced – Surprise Attack. This was recently made available as a daily rotating mod via the Prism Converter.
Although the offer has changed by now, there’s no need to worry: if you haven’t got the mod yet, it will return. The mod is an absolute must-have for anyone who enjoys using pistols.
Even if you have neglected this weapon type so far, it might be worth taking a look. Some pistols can reach heavy weapon DPS values with builds around the new mod – and that’s as a primary weapon.
In short: You should not miss out on the Surprise Attack mod for the price of 3 mod components.
The Surprise Attack mod
What can the Surprise Attack mod do? When you are charged with Light, all stacks of “Charged with Light” are consumed when reloading or preparing a pistol and converted into significant damage buff stacks for the pistol (Charged Magazine).
For each stack of “Charged with Light,” you receive 5 charged shots for the magazine – so with 3x “Charged with Light,” you get 15 Super Shots. The buff “Charged Magazine” or “Charged Shots” is consumed only when you deal damage to enemies with it. If you miss, only the ammo decreases. The buff stacks remain intact.
What exactly makes the mod so powerful? In short: pistols deal double damage per buff stack. This buff is not registered as a normal buff but rather as a pistol perk by the game. This means you can stack this damage buff with other buffs or debuffs, further increasing the damage.
Additionally, you can combine this mod with other mods to further enhance its effectiveness. Ultimately, builds are possible that allow you to achieve power weapon DPS values with a pistol, such as the exotic “Devil’s Ruin.”

Check out the video to see how powerful the mod is
These mods are also recommended for pistol builds: To effectively use the Surprise Attack mod, you need to be charged with Light, which can also be done through appropriate armor mods. Recommended are, among others:
Fast Charge: Get charged with Light by defeating several enemies quickly with pulse rifles, pistols, or submachine guns
Charge Siphon: Get charged with Light by picking up Light Orbs (for example, from masterwork weapons or after using your super)
Stacked: Gain an additional stack of “Charged with Light” for every stack you receive
Overload: You can receive 2 additional stacks of “Charged with Light” – up to a maximum of 5
The combination of these mods makes nearly every pistol a true monster. Most pistols will easily outperform almost any special weapon and make this weapon type, often neglected by many Guardians, shine in a whole new light. Red bars drop with a single shot, majors and mini-bosses are brought to their knees in no time.
Devil’s Ruin
A sample build for the Hunter: If you want to hold a real killer pistol in your hands, try the following build:
Combine the mentioned mods with the exotic Hunter gauntlets Mechanic Trick Sleeves. These increase the handling and reload speed of pistols. If you are critically wounded and switch to a pistol, it also deals more damage.
As a weapon, take the exotic pistol “Devil’s Ruin”. With this combination, you can achieve up to 63,000 DPS – the level of some of the currently best power weapons.
You can also feel free to experiment with other weapons or Guardian classes. Even without special builds, pistols become really strong and useful just through the Surprise Attack mod combined with light-charging mods.
Today, on June 17th, the first raid hour with Zekrom starts in Pokémon GO. We provide you with all the information so that you are well prepared.
What is a raid hour? This event typically takes place every Wednesday evening in Pokémon GO. Legendary raids appear for one hour at almost every gym, and you have a good chance of defeating multiple raid bosses.
Today is the first raid hour with Zekrom. The legendary Pokémon has generally been available in the raids only since last night.
All Information about the Raid Hour this Evening
When does it start? The event starts as usual at 6:00 PM local time. For one hour, legendary raids will be open at almost all gyms.
How to fight effectively against Zekrom? The legendary Pokémon is weak against Dragon, Fairy, Ground, and Ice types. So make sure to use monsters of these types.
In our counter guide to Zekrom, you will find all the important information about the raid boss and the 10 best counter Pokémon.
Rayquaza and Palkia are strong counters against Zekrom, for example
How many players should you have? Zekrom can already be defeated quite easily in a trio. However, during the raid hour, we recommend a group size of about 6 players. This way, you can get through the raids faster and complete more raids in the hour.
Is the raid hour worth it? Zekrom has only been available in Germany since today, and at least for the Pokédex entry, it is worth participating in the raid hour.
But it’s worth it beyond that as well. Zekrom is the best electric Pokémon in the game and quite useful. So you should definitely invest some raid passes to secure a good specimen and enough candies.
What will happen with the raid hours next? The next 2 weeks will also feature Zekrom in the raid hour. These will again take place on Wednesdays.
Valorant provides you with stats after each match that showcase your gameplay performance. However, one of these stats, the so-called “Econ Rating”, is unclear to many players. We at MeinMMO have figured out the meaning of the Econ Rating for you.
What is the Econ Rating? After each game, you will see a list of valuable data in the post-game stats. This includes Kills, Assists, your own deaths, the total score, and a mysterious stat called “Econ Rating”.
Econ is short for “Economy”, and the Econ Rating essentially indicates how effectively you have spent your money from the shop in the game. The Econ Rating shows the damage dealt per 1,000 spent credits.
If you spend 5,000 credits and deal 300 damage, the Econ Rating is 60
With 5,000 credits and 500 damage, it would be 100
With only 50 damage for 5,000 credits, the rating is only 10
What does the height of the rating mean? The higher your Econ Rating is, the more effectively and “economically” you use your game resources.
Good Econ Ratings range from 75 to over 100 points
Average ratings start at around 55 points
Poor ratings are below 40 points
Here you see a list of the Econ Ratings. Source: Dexerto
Is the Econ Rating important?
What do the values indicate? The value is generally meant to show whether you are cleverly optimizing your equipment or recklessly buying stuff that you don’t end up using effectively.
If someone has a very low rating, they might want to consider not always spending money on rather unnecessary items. However, the rating is unfortunately not always meaningful.
What are the criticisms of the Econ Rating? The Econ Rating only provides reliable statements for players who focus on attack and damage. It fails for defensive players and supporters who assist their team with skills and deal little damage. For example, agents like Sage or Cypher, who primarily have support skills, usually have a lower Econ Rating than offensive heroes like Raze, Phoenix, Jett, or Reyna.
Offensive heroes often have better Econ Ratings than supporters.
Moreover, it does not take into account when you buy weapons for teammates. The game unfortunately also neglects individual expenses and damage numbers. So if you spend a lot of money for the team, you will also get distorted numbers in the Econ Rating.
Additionally, the system penalizes players with slow weapons, such as the sniper rifle Operator. You need more kills with it than someone using the assault rifle Vandal, who can deal more damage per credit – even if the sniper might have been more effective for the round’s progression.
Therefore, the Econ value is only conditionally useful, and you shouldn’t worry too much about whether you have truly converted every credit into damage effectively. However, as an indicator for generally effective purchasing behavior, the Econ Rating is certainly meaningful. If you want to aim better in Valorant, then check out this article.

In Fortnite: Battle Royale, Chapter 2 Season 3 is now live with new skins from Update 13.00. We will show you all the new skins and other leaks for the new season.
What are these skins? The new Update 13.00 in Fortnite started Chapter 2 Season 3. Epic Games itself presented some cool skins in the Battle Pass trailer. Dataminers continued to sift through the game files and found even more skins.
Here we provide an overview of the skins and cosmetics that have already been revealed and leaked. This includes back blings and gliders.
All Skins from Chapter 2 Season 3
These are the skins: Dataminer Lucas7yoshi shared all his findings for the new cosmetic items on his Twitter profile. He is recognized and reliable in the community.
The skin findings include Aquaman, Jules, and Kit, which you may have already seen in the Battle Pass trailer for Season 3. However, there are also several other faces and outfits included.
You can see that there are still some placeholders in the overview. These may all be filled over the course of Chapter 2 Season 3 in Fortnite.
The names of the skins:
Eternal Knight
Fade
Siona
Jules
Ocean
Aquaman
Scuba Jonesy
Kit
Metal Team Leader
Wave Breaker
Ghost Hush
Ghost Wildcard
Ghost Chaos Agent
Trench Trawler
Swamp Stomper
Ghost Beach Brawler
Shadow Beach Brawler
Nite Gunner
Scarlet Serpent
Skin Leaks from Season 3 – Back Bling, Emotes, and Gliders
What else has been found? In addition to the skins, there are many other visual changes in Season 3. This includes new gliders like a comet or a metal owl.
The Back Blings: Your character’s back should also be eye-catching in Season 3 as you triumph over your opponents. There are special back accessories like a shield or a small moon.
A particular highlight here is also the metal owl. It is called “Ohm’s Perch” and apparently belongs to the outfit of the skin “Jules”.
Epic Games presented this character as a kind of tinkerer. Jules’ owl is likely an important companion for her. It’s very possible that she made the parts herself.
Have you already found a few favorites in this overview that you absolutely want to unlock in the current season? Then let us know your favorite skins or accessories in the comments here on MeinMMO. This way, you’ll be well equipped for the new storm in Fortnite.

Is it really new? Looking closely, MARS resembles an online shooter from 2014. This game was known in the USA as Hazard Ops and in Europe as ZMR: Zombies, Monsters, Robots.
This is not surprising, as both games emerged from MARS Online by YingPei Games, released in 2013, which also carried the subtitle Mercenary Assault & Recon Squad.
The game aimed to impress with many maps and a plethora of game modes. In Beast Mode, for example, you had to gather points during the battle to transform into a powerful beast that cleared enemies away.
As seen in the videos of MARS, there has not been much graphical change compared to Hazard Ops or ZMR.

This is what the shooter ZMR: Zombies, Monsters, Robots looked like.
Can you already participate in MARS? You can sign up for the Closed Beta on the official website that has recently started. An Open Beta will follow soon. The Free2Play shooter does not yet have a release date.
Who is behind the game? Suba Games is known for reintroducing older Asian online games to the market. This has occurred with titles like Divine Souls, ACE Online, Priston Tale, or Luna Online.
Atlantica Online was released in 2008 but only launched on the Steam platform in May 2020. We will take a look at how the player numbers and reviews look one month after release.
How is Atlantica Online doing on Steam? In the last 24 hours, there were 1,171 players peak online at the same time. On average, 1,145 players played the MMORPG in the last 30 days.
Nevertheless, a significant decline in numbers is already noticeable in Atlantica Online. It is questionable how long the MMORPG can truly engage players since the last major update was years ago, which has also been criticized in the reviews.

Mixed Reviews, Criticism for Pay2Win
What do the reviews say? As of the time of this article (on June 17 at 11:00 AM), Atlantica Online has received 339 reviews, of which at least 64% are positive.
The positive voices praise:
The unique turn-based gameplay that is not found in this way in other MMORPGs.
The community that has supposedly grown old and friendly alongside the game.
The fact that there are still irregular updates.
Apparently there is so much to do in the MMORPG that some players haven’t maxed out everything after 13 years.
The new servers started strong. The player base is there, and the game is as much fun as ever. I am someone who has played the game repeatedly since the launch, and I am starting again with the launch of the new servers. All the content of the game is contained on these new servers, which is a lot […].
It may be a bit confusing for a new player, but if you have difficulties, reach out to the community or look for a guild – players in the game are usually very helpful to newcomers.
The game itself is quite unique with its turn-based combat. I really like the gameplay mechanics, which I haven’t been able to find in a similar form anywhere else. The pseudo-history in the game is also quite interesting and covers the entire globe.
You don’t have to pay for the game itself, although some paid items provide bonuses and “Quality of Life” benefits (e.g., the premium package has the licenses and the blessings). If you want to be number 1 in PVP, you probably have to pay to win, but if you just want to enjoy the game in PvE or play PvP without a competitive mindset, then playing without paying is quite possible.
This is what a battle in Atlantica Online looks like.
What the negative voices say:
Atlantica Online has problems with stability and performance, even outside of Steam.
The last major content update with a dungeon was 5 years ago.
The support is said to rarely respond or not respond at all.
In the endgame and especially in PvP, one is not likely to get far without real money investments.
There is no German voice-over, and primarily Spanish is spoken in-game.
The game is fine for the first few days because you get free auto-fights, free teleporters, and many other free things.
But as soon as you reach level 81, these free contents disappear, and the game turns into heavy Pay2Win. […]. There are literally quests you have to complete to get mercenaries that require you to invest real money. […]. In PvP, you will not be a challenge for players who have invested real money for upgrades and mercenaries.
If you are looking for something that provides fun for about 60 hours, then this is it.
Have you already had experiences with Atlantica Online? And did you try it after the release on Steam?
In Fortnite: Battle Royale Update 13.00 has been released, marking the beginning of Season 3 Chapter 2. We show you the patch notes. It features a ton of new features!
What’s new in update 13.00: This update marks the beginning of the new Season 3 and brings several changes to the game. In the first “Dive In” trailer, you can see a flooded map and sharks as a means of transportation.
We will show you what the new water season has to offer.
The map is flooded – What’s different?
What’s new now? Players suspected for a long time that the map would be completely flooded. After all, the live event brought a new type of storm that ultimately turned into a menacing tsunami.
It seems to have come to pass, as the entire map has been flooded. However, this state will not last, as the water level will eventually lower. This will cause new places to emerge.
New places are expected to be revealed throughout the season
Sharks as means of transportation
What’s new? Sharks are now lurking around on the Fortnite map. They are hungry for your loot like weapons and items. However, even though they are dangerous, they have a great benefit for you.
Grab a fishing rod and cling onto the shark. It will then pull you through the map while you only need to steer it. This way, you will surely reach your desired destination quickly.
Sharks are the new means of transportation in Season 3
New enemies – Marauders
What’s new now? In Season 3, you will encounter new enemies. These are bots that simply drop from capsules from the sky throughout the match.
Once the capsule lands on the ground, it explodes, releasing the bots that will attack you. So, you should stay vigilant to react quickly.
The new marauders can surprise you in the match
All further information about the new Season 3 and what has changed can be found on the official Epic Games page.
Season 3 brought not only some changes and new features to the game but also a new Battle Pass where you can unlock the Drifter Crew. You will even find the hero Aquaman there. If you want to take a closer look, check out the trailer for the Battle Pass of Season 3.

The player walks through a building on the Piccadilly map and suddenly loses 40 shots of ammunition.
The player walked over a previously eliminated opponent and their weapon at that moment, causing them to lose the ammunition. It seems as if the player is picking up the ammunition from the opponent and simply giving away their bullets in return.
What do other players say about it? Many players find the bug funny. The reddit user jibrawn says: “Dude, dead people are stealing your damn ammunition!”
There aren’t many discussions about this bug. It doesn’t seem that many other players are affected. The reddit user RamTank has a possible explanation: “If I had to guess what happened, you were running around with a 9mm pistol and somehow your ammunition exceeded the allowable total reserve (180). When you then walk over the rifle, the game does a check again and corrects it.”
So a huge bug is not to be expected here. It still looks funny when the player suddenly has their ammunition stolen by a dead opponent.
We at MeinMMO have requested a statement from Activision and wanted to know if this bug is widespread or only affects a few players. So far, we are still waiting for a response.
Are there more funny bugs like this? Last year, there was a bug that made a huge boat sail across the map. This made it nearly impossible for players to play, but due to the absurdity, the affected player could only laugh.
In another bug in Battle Royale Warzone, a dog suddenly appeared, even though dogs are not available in Warzone. Even more absurd: The dog was a weapon that the player could pick up. Here, too, there was hearty laughter about the bug.

World of Tanks Blitz was originally designed as a pure mobile version of the tank MMO World of Tanks. However, in the 6 years since its release, the pure mobile game has evolved into a full-fledged light version of its “big brother,” which is particularly attractive for newcomers to the world of tanks. This is especially true with the latest update 7.
Throughout its development, the former mobile game has increasingly transformed into a cross-platform title and a beginner-friendly version of the classic World of Tanks.
This is especially true now, as with update 7 and the 6th anniversary of the game, Blitz resembles the “big brother” more than ever. But why is Blitz such a good entry point, and what makes the game different from the old World of Tanks? Where exactly do the strengths of the “little brother” lie?
World of Tanks Blitz – Here are the contents
What is World of Tanks Blitz about? World of Tanks Blitz closely resembles the core gameplay of the regular World of Tanks:
A team consists of 7 players
Two teams fight each other on a defined map
Either eliminate the opponent completely or capture and hold a strategic objective
Players who are destroyed are out of the game and can no longer actively participate in the match
Each player drives a tank from the era of the two world wars
After each game, players receive in-game currency and experience based on their performance
This allows you to unlock upgrades for your tanks or research new, better tanks
Since tanks are not racing cars with machine guns, the vehicles move slowly, and there are several seconds of reload time between shots. This makes battles exciting tactical stand-offs where you carefully gain an advantage.
The tank battles familiar from World of Tanks also work on mobile.
What are the special features of World of Tanks Blitz? The tanks from World of Tanks are affectionately referred to by Wargaming’s CEO Victor Kislyi as “Tamagotchis for fathers.” Instead of strange creatures, you can research and develop lovingly designed tanks here.
With your favorite tank, you can jump into lively battles that finish in about 10 minutes or less. This allows you to perfect your battles within the time your partner needs in the bathroom or when guests are still on their way for game night.
This applies to both the classic World of Tanks and Blitz. However, the Blitz version has the significant advantage that you can also use it on the go. If you wish, you can already engage in your first tank battles in the morning right after getting up via smartphone on the toilet. War is indeed a dirty business.
If you have good mobile reception, nothing is stopping you from a quick battle at the train station or on your commute to work. Or a round of tank shooting during your lunch break because colleagues have once again stood you up? No problem, there’s almost always time for a bit of Blitz.

This launch trailer for World of Tanks Blitz shows: You can encounter tanks even in cafes.
Is there cross-play or progression? World of Tanks Blitz can be played on iOS, Android, PC, and Steam, and all four platforms can play together in battle. The majority of players are on mobile platforms, with Android leading the pack. Overall, Blitz has been downloaded over 137 million times across all platforms.
In addition to crossplay, there is also cross-progression. This means that you can use your progress globally and across platforms. So, if you play a round in the bathroom in the morning and then get comfortable in front of the PC later, the progress you made on the toilet will also be available here.
How does Blitz control? The controls on mobile devices work intuitively via touchscreen. On the left is a virtual joystick that controls the tank. The turret is moved with your right thumb. Discreet buttons allow you to switch to zoom view, select ammunition, and fire.
The fire button is also conveniently located on the left side for better ergonomics. You can also switch the entire interface to left-handed use.
However, if you don’t want to deal with PC players rampaging on mobile, you can set in the options to only play with players of the same control type.
How many tanks and nations are there? Blitz may not have as many tanks as World of Tanks itself, but with over 370 tanks from 8 different nations, there are plenty of vehicles you can play with.
The tanks are categorized into 10 tiers. In tier 1, you can find simple tanks from the interwar period. Tiers 5-6 contain the famous war tanks, such as the notorious Tiger or the legendary T-34.
In the later tiers, you will find tanks from the Cold War or experimental tanks that were never or hardly used. For example, here you can find the massive “Maus,” the super-heavy tank of the Wehrmacht.
These cool special tanks were available at Halloween.
What else is in the game? The battles in Blitz take place on a total of 29 maps. With certain modes, new maps are added. There are regularly special events in the game that offer their own game modes and maps. Here’s a short selection:
Realistic Mode: Here you see less far, and aids like the detection indicator or the weak armor indicator are absent.
Uprising: A fun Halloween mode where you drive special vampire and werewolf tanks and unlock unique skills for your tanks.
Gravity: Here you play on the moon with low gravity. Your tanks are almost weightless, and recoil and hits make your tanks helplessly tumble around.

This is what the Uprising mode looks like for Halloween.
Is World of Tanks Blitz pay-to-win? Like with World of Tanks, the question arises for Blitz whether the free-to-play game is fair or if the premium content like powerful premium tanks and special ammunition gives nasty advantages in battles.
However, it also applies to Blitz: premium tanks are not super weapons without weaknesses. They are rather good for farming in-game currency at a certain level. Some are particularly suited for a specific playstyle. However, they always have enough weaknesses and are often inferior to fully upgraded regular machines of their tier.
The notorious “gold ammunition” is indeed stronger than regular shells in many situations. However, the special ammunition is only really effective at higher tiers and can always be paid for with in-game currency.
Update 7 – What changes with the anniversary patch
When does the update come? The first part of update 7 for World of Tanks Blitz will be released on June 17, 2020. It brings extensive graphics improvements and new tank models. On July 9, 2020, a new game mode called “Skirmish” will be added.
The major graphics update for Blitz
What changes in the graphics? World of Tanks Blitz is getting a long-awaited graphics update with update 7. The graphics, which were quite nice in 2014, are outdated by 2020. Therefore, the developers have overhauled the game engine and are now adding more features.
Cannon recoil: Previously, the powerful barrels of your tanks remained rigid during a shot and did not move. However, this is far from reality, as the enormous energy generated when firing large shells would produce enough recoil to destroy the turret and gun mount.
Guns are now pushed back into the turret by recoil.
In order to create another level of immersion and atmosphere, your guns now have a recoil effect that temporarily pushes the gun barrel into the turret and back out.
Hit markers: When you are hit, you will clearly see the bullet holes or dents in the armor. This feature also helps enhance immersion.
However, it also has a tactical benefit, as you will clearly know where the hit came from and where you were hit.
Permanent tank tracks: From now on, your tanks will leave heavy tracks on the ground. This also increases the atmosphere, as nothing makes it clearer that you are driving a massive war machine than thick furrows in the ground.
Dynamic shadows: With this new effect, all objects now have dynamic shadows, not just your tanks.
Why all these innovations? According to Wargaming, the goal with the graphics updates is to make the game more attractive and, above all, more vibrant. When there are shadows everywhere, tanks are leaving deep ruts in the ground, and tank hulls are strewn with bullet holes, an intense battlefield atmosphere emerges.

Here you can see the contents of the graphics update at a glance.
Help, I only have a weak device, will Blitz still run on mine? If you want to continue playing Blitz on your old phone or laptop, don’t worry. Wargaming has thought of you and has included an option where you can turn off the improved graphics and deactivate certain features if desired.
This way, high-end devices can enjoy the full glory, while owners of weaker machines can still play smoothly on minimal settings.
The other contents of update 7
What else is new? In addition to the graphics update, three new tanks will be added to the game. These are light British tanks – agile little speedsters of tiers 8, 9, and 10.

But even more exciting is the brand new game mode “Skirmish.” An exciting mode that aims to bring even more action and speed to the game:
Teams consist of only 5 instead of 7 tanks
The maps are smaller than usual
The winner is the one who first eliminates the opposing team.
“Skirmish” is a type of 5vs5 deathmatch with tanks and no respawns. This mode is especially designed for action-packed and quick battles on mobile devices and should significantly accelerate the fast-paced gameplay of Blitz.
Why it’s worth starting World of Tanks Blitz
These are the differences to the “big” World of Tanks: As mentioned at the outset, Blitz is similar to the original World of Tanks, but differs in some core areas from the “original”:
The game is less complex. You can upgrade your tanks as usual, but not the crew. In World of Tanks, you have to painstakingly train the crew to obtain valuable perks and optimal combat performance.
There are comfort features like displayed armor indicators or an icon that lights up when your tank is detected. The latter is a perk in World of Tanks that you have to unlock.
The teams and maps are smaller, allowing for quicker and more dynamic rounds.
Instead of over 600 tanks, Blitz has “only” just over 370 vehicles. However, the research trees are shorter, and you can unlock higher-tier vehicles faster and more specifically.
Tracks are clearly visible with update 7.
That’s why Blitz is ideal for newcomers to the world of tanks: The original World of Tanks can overwhelm newcomers with its variety of tanks and configuration options. This can deter many potentially interested tank fans from even trying the game.
This target audience, which tends to include younger players, is likely to warm up to Blitz much faster. The “World of Tanks Light” offers faster action, shorter battles, and fewer options and modes. This makes everything clearer without neglecting the fun core gameplay.
At its heart, Blitz is still a “real” World of Tanks. That is, a rather slow-paced tactical game where heavy tanks rumble across the battlefields, outmaneuver each other, and shoot grenades at weakly armored spots.
However, Blitz is faster, punchier, and more entertaining, staying true to its name. Therefore, it is particularly suitable for newcomers who enjoy playing with tanks and want to blow up a few tanks on the go or on the toilet.
And what better time is there for newcomers to get started than during the new update 7? For those willing to give the big brother a chance, there are significant reasons for that:
Graphics on PC still not really up-to-date after the update
Only PvP game modes
A lot of grind is required to unlock everything at higher tiers
Mobile players are at a disadvantage when crossplaying with PC players
Potential: Promising update
I have been playing World of Tanks for a long time, and when I briefly tried Blitz, the fun gameplay of the “original” was immediately back. Because no matter whether on touchscreen or with mouse and keyboard, the classic WoT feeling has always been present in Blitz.
Moreover, I really appreciate the simplified complexity of Blitz. This suits me as a casual player, as I actually prefer to play a quick round in the restroom or on the train rather than spending hours in the evening conducting complex battles with the clan.
Interestingly, I can do this with Blitz as well since, thanks to cross-progression, there’s nothing stopping me from swapping the porcelain throne for the gaming chair and continuing to play via Steam or Windows. So, those who want to take their first steps into the world of tanks can’t go wrong with Blitz. And with update 7, it looks – at least on mobile – good again.

The professional CS:GO player Elias “Jamppi” Olkkonen (18) wants to sue the operator of the game Counter-Strike: Global Offensive: the Steam giant Valve. A mistake from his youth stood in the way of a lucrative professional career. Unfortunately, however, he chose the wrong company for his lawsuit, the German firm “Valve GmbH.”
At the age of 14, he purchased a second copy of the tactical shooter CS:GO to play on a LAN with a friend. He then sold the account to this friend: however, this friend received a ban through the “Valve Anti-Cheat System.” These VAC bans are permanent and non-negotiable.
Because the friend’s copy was linked to Jamppi’s Steam ID, he has since been considered a cheater by Valve, which has blocked him from pursuing a top-tier professional career. He is not allowed to participate in Valve’s major tournaments.
The 18-year-old Jamppi is now a CS:GO pro for ENCE.
Jamppi is now of legal age and has developed into a strong player in CS:GO. He was close to actually signing a professional contract as an AWP player with OG. However, this could not happen, as the ban stood in the way.
So Jamppi decided to sue Valve for damages, claiming that due to the unfair treatment, he has lost money and suffered damage.
This is now the problem: As reported by a Finnish site, Jamppi demanded 266,092 euros from Valve. The issue is that he actually wanted to sue the Valve Corporation, which was founded in the USA in 1996. However, he sued Valve GmbH, which was only founded in Germany in 2016.
Valve GmbH, based in Hamburg, manufactures hardware, not software.
Valve GmbH has provided several reasons in a statement why the lawsuit should be dismissed:
The Finnish court where Jamppi filed his complaint is not actually competent for Valve GmbH because it is based in Germany.
The plaintiff is not a customer of Valve GmbH at all, as it does not operate in Finland.
The company has no rights to CS:GO and does not manage the game, the German company did not even exist in 2015.
Moreover, the player is complaining now 4 years after the ban and wants to appear here as a customer, whereas he is a professional.
The damage claim is also unfounded because the company is not responsible for how third parties act.
At the moment, it is unclear how the matter will proceed and whether the pro will maintain and continue his lawsuit.
Jamppi apparently wants to achieve that at least the ban is lifted, but he has so far met with a brick wall at Valve.
CS:GO is one of the lucrative e-sports titles.
The e-sport in CS:GO is considered one of the 5 most lucrative gaming e-sports overall. However, it is particularly difficult to earn money in CS:GO if one cannot play at the absolute top level and is dependent on second-tier tournaments.
Therefore, it is also very important for the Finn that the VAC ban is lifted so he can compete with the big guys.

The pirate MMO Atlas has lost a lot of players since the start of the early access phase at the end of 2018. But the team is not giving up and has exciting plans for the near future.
What is the current situation with Atlas? In December 2018, Atlas launched with nearly 59,000 concurrent players at peak. Now, in June 2020, around 3,000 players are playing the pirate MMO according to Steamcharts. Atlas has thus lost about 95% of its players. At the end of 2019, the situation looked quite different for the game.
What are the developers’ plans? The development team has broken the silence and announced a major update for Atlas. This will bring significant changes:
The game world map will be completely overhauled.
The new map will shift the focus away from land battles and towards naval battles.
The emphasis will now be more on PvP.
Trade winds will play a role in commerce.
You will be able to build farms and warehouses.
The major overhaul of Atlas will bring a reset or wipe. All players will have to start over afterwards.
What about PvE? The developers explain that they want to gradually remove the PvE elements of the game and turn them into something unique. Until then, the EU PvE server represents the only possibility to still engage in PvE.
What exactly this means is unclear. Perhaps there will be a kind of PvE spin-off of Atlas or new PvE servers with special content? The developers will reveal more about this in due time.

As shown in this video, you will no longer experience Atlas the same way after the overhaul.
When is the big update coming? The developers have announced the major overhaul of Atlas for July. A specific date will follow.
What else is new with Atlas? The team now plans to ensure a regular supply of content with newly added developers. It is currently planned to release an update every month after the major overhaul.
Will you give Atlas a new chance after the massive update? By the way, Atlas, like ARK: Survival Evolved, falls into the survival game category. In addition to these two, there are several other very interesting titles in this genre. Which ones they are, you can read in the MeinMMO list of the 23 best survival games 2020 for PS4, Xbox, and PC.

In Destiny 2, an exploit caused quite a stir, but even after its fix, you can easily obtain the coveted Umbra Engrams.
The new, glitch-free farming: Now that the controversial AFK farming exploit has been removed from the game, players are looking for a new way to quickly get Umbra Engrams. It didn’t take long for a new, fast method to be discovered – this time completely without exploiting: Nightmare Hunts.
Through the Nightmare Hunt on the Moon, you can obtain the coveted Engrams in about 2-4 minutes and also earn the seasonal resource “Changed Element.” The hunt won’t get done by itself while you sleep, but it goes very quickly and truly gets in no one’s way.
Here’s how to succeed in the quick Nightmare Hunt: Set the mission difficulty to 860 power. This way, you automatically get teammates, have hardly any negative modifiers, but still high chances for the desired loot.
This week, the following Nightmares are active:
Madness – Fight the Fanatic
Pride – Fight Skolas, Kell of Kells
Torture – Fight Omnigul
In the Nightmares, we face enemies from days gone by, like Crota
Choose a Nightmare and master it. After a few runs, you’ll see that you’ll breeze through the mission. Take a sword and, for example, the powerful exotic bow Trinity Ghoul as a masterpiece to take down the boss and his adds in seconds.
Don’t forget to equip your armor with the special Nightmare mods. This way, you can take significantly more damage and also deal more devastating damage to the Nightmares.
That’s why Umbra Engrams are so popular: What is it about the Umbra Engrams that attracts players in droves? There are two reasons:
Access to new weapons and armor – the interesting loot from Season 11 is mostly found in the Engrams.
Faster power-leveling – if the armor focusing is chosen, you have a high chance of equipment above your current level. As Bungie stated (via Twitter), this mechanic has now been fixed.
The new Umbra Engrams
But even if you’re not farming for the Engrams like crazy, you should be able to build up a decent supply through normal play. Because in every activity, you have a chance to passively find some.
