The looting in World of Warcraft is quite fast. If you prefer it to be cumbersome, the Shadowlands expansion introduces a new feature – is it really needed?
For most players of World of Warcraft, it is a luxury that they have long gotten used to: area looting. When you kill a lot of enemies in WoW and they are at least roughly lying next to each other, you can loot them all at once and gather the loot from several corpses simultaneously.
In WoW: Shadowlands, however, this can once again be turned off.
What comes with Shadowlands? In the interface options, there is a setting to disable area looting. Once turned off, you have to examine each corpse individually and rummage through their belongings. You will find this setting under the “Interface” menu, then “Controls” – where you can also enable quick looting.
Click on each corpse individually – if you like it …
The setting currently does not work, by the way. You can select it in the menu, but it serves no purpose yet and you get the error message that you “do not have permission to make this change”. However, since the menu option can already be found in the interface, it is clear that this feature will be arriving soon.
What does this bring? The benefit will mainly come into play when tackling old content. For example, when going through old raids and pulling huge groups of enemies, you might not want all the “junk” in your inventory. By specifically looting individual corpses, it would be possible to only search the boss to claim his items and ignore the rest.
Otherwise, this feature is more for nostalgia fans who want to loot “like in the old days of Vanilla.” After all, many players enjoyed going through corpse by corpse, hoping for that one special drop. And maybe many players have indeed wished for this option and Blizzard listens to feedback.
Do you find this option cool, and will you use it? Or will this checkbox definitely never be checked in the menu?

In Destiny 2, the completely new dungeon “Prophecy” went live unexpectedly. Here you can find all the important information about the launch of the free PvE activity without spoilers.
This is what’s new in Destiny 2: Just a few hours ago, Season 11, the Season of Arrival, started in Destiny 2. Among the new content is also a fresh dungeon named Prophecy.
The best part is: You can start the new PvE activity right now. Your adventure will take you into the realm of the mysterious Nine (IX).
MeinMMO will not spoil any mechanics or encounters in this article. You will find only the most important information you need to start your journey and a small preview of some of the cool rewards.
To get everyone excited, Bungie has released a trailer for the Prophecy dungeon, showing some of the locations. If you want to jump in completely blind, feel free to skip the clip.

Up is down – In the new dungeon, the world is upside down
All important information about the new Prophecy dungeon in Destiny 2
Do I need the Season Pass? No! The current Prophecy dungeon is available to all players of Destiny 2 for free.
This is how you start the dungeon: To begin your adventure into the realm of the Nine, you first need to speak with the Drifter in the Tower. He will give you some story background on your mission.
After that, you can select the new dungeon from the Tower and get started. You can now also launch Prophecy directly from orbit – there’s no need to land in the Tower first.
Start the new dungeon conveniently from orbit
Are there any other requirements? Only the introductory mission of Season 11 must be completed before your visit to the dungeon. Otherwise, there are no obstacles or things to consider.
The recommended power level is:
At the start, the enemies in Prophecy are level 1040
At the end of the activity, the enemies are at 1060
This loot awaits you: The dungeon lures you with two armor sets:
The brand new DAITO Forge armor
An updated version of the “Trials of the Nine” armor
A glimpse of the rewards in the Prophecy dungeon
Whether there are hidden exotics like in the other dungeons or other rewards to be gained will be revealed as Season 11 progresses.
Dungeons in Destiny 2
What are dungeons? The dungeons (approximately roughly translated as “dungeons”) in Destiny are longer missions where guardians engage in intense battles, solve tricky puzzles, and navigate through jumping passages. The PvE content is considered to be the core of the game and is therefore extremely popular.
They are reminiscent of smaller raids in terms of structure and unique setting. A fireteam of up to 3 guardians can embark on a dungeon. However, the missions are designed so that they can be tackled alone with effort – if you persevere.
Prophecy is the third dungeon in the game and leads players into a distorted world where the rules of reality seem not to apply. MeinMMO will soon provide you with a detailed guide through the realm of the Nine.
The other two dungeons are:
The Broken Throne – Here you must try to break an old curse in a dark fantasy world
The Pit of Heresy – The dungeon takes you into the depths of the moon, into the heart of a Hive shrine
Fierce bosses await the guardians in the dungeons
Did you think a completely new dungeon would await all guardians right at the start of the Season of Arrival? Are you diving blind into the parallel dimension of the Prophecy and exploring the world of the Nine?
Bungie is committed to Destiny 2 for years. Instead of creating more spin-offs for the series, there will only be one game. But since the action MMO cannot grow infinitely, Bungie has come up with something to keep the experience fresh– the Destiny Content Vault.
What is the Destiny Content Vault (DCV)? On June 9, Bungie dropped a bombshell. The studio not only introduced Season 11, but also the upcoming “Beyond Light” expansion and its plans for Destiny 2 until fall 2022. The game is to be continued as an action MMO for years and supplied with new content – A Destiny 3 is off the table for now.
In order to continuously provide the game with new content without completely removing old content, Bungie has now created a new system that is meant to help them with this problem.
This fall, we will go to Europa, an icy moon
This is how the Destiny Content Vault works
The Vault explained: The system is called Destiny Content Vault and is basically a gigantic resource pool that developers can easily access at any time.
So rather than creating a Destiny 3 to bring new content, and leaving Destiny 2 with its critical size and all its content, developers can remove certain content from the Vault each year and add new content. Thus, older, less frequently played content will rotate out of Destiny 2, and new or other resources from the pool can take their place in the live game.
This should make it possible to efficiently supply Destiny 2 with additional content such as activities or locations alongside the planned new content for years. By the way, weapons and armor are not included in the DCV and are managed separately.
New locations are set to come, while others will go into the Vault
What’s in the Vault: The cool thing is: In the DCV, all content from Destiny 1 as well as all content that will rotate out of Destiny 2 is included.
This is the plan for the Vault: By consolidating all previous Destiny resources in the Vault, Bungie will be able to bring back classic experiences from the first Destiny, content and moments that were popular with veterans and that some Guardians have not experienced at all – particularly on PC. Also, “sorted out” Destiny 2 content can come back.
Returning content can also be better adapted to current developments in the world of Destiny and may return in revised form if necessary. Each year, content will rotate as part of expansions and seasons.
Destiny 2 brings back the “best raid of all time” – mixes content from both parts
Bungie has already revealed how content will rotate with the start of Year 4 in fall 2020. And there are two big highlights among them.
The Vault of Glass will return in Year 4
Experience iconic content from Destiny 1 in Destiny 2: Among other things, the “Cosmodrome” location and the “Vault of Glass” raid from Destiny 1 will make their return in the second part.
The Cosmodrome is one of the most popular locations in Destiny 1, where many began their journey as Guardians. However, the location will not initially return in its full extent from D1.
And Vault of Glass is considered by many to be the best Destiny raid ever – especially regarding atmosphere and mechanics.
Many veterans will be pleased with this return. And those who have missed out on this content so far can look forward to some of the coolest experiences from Destiny 1.
These contents will rotate into the game in Year 4:
“Will of Crota” strike from the Cosmodrome
“Fallen S.A.B.E.R.” strike from the Cosmodrome
“The Devil’s Lair” strike from the Cosmodrome
All three are, by the way, strikes from Destiny 1.
The Fallen S.A.B.E.R.
These contents will rotate out of the game in Year 4: Over the course of Year 4, some locations along with all associated PvE activities (including campaigns) will move to the Vault. This includes:
Mars
Io
Titan
Mercury
Leviathan
The map will then show the following locations:
Europa (new)
Cosmodrome (from the Vault)
Moon
Grove
Dreaming City
European Dead Zone (EDZ)
Nessus
More details:
This fall, 3 raids will be playable – including the new one in the Deep Stone Crypt on Europa from the new “Beyond Light” expansion.
There will be new opportunities to earn exotics linked to retired content.
The pool of the strike playlist will consist of possible strikes from currently active locations. If a location moves to the Vault, so do the associated strikes.
The PvP playlists will offer a “Best of” mix of maps from Destiny 1 and 2.
Gambit and Gambit Prime will be merged into a single mode. The corresponding armor can be earned through the Drifter.
The start of Season 4 for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare & Warzone has been postponed indefinitely. However, thanks to some official information and unofficial leaks, there is already quite a lot to know about the new season.
Due to the developments surrounding the “Black Lives Matter” protests in the USA, Season 4 did not go live as planned on June 2. An officially confirmed date for the start of the season is still pending. However, what we already know about the new season regarding the start, Battle Pass, and fresh content has been summarized here for you on MeinMMO.
When does Season 4 for Modern Warfare and Warzone come?
A new start date for Season 4 is unfortunately still not available.
Possible delay due to major update for Season 4: New seasons are traditionally started with a large patch that brings various changes and adjustments along with new content. This will likely be the case for the start of Season 4 as well, which is practically considered certain.
When exactly Season 4 starts for you will likely also depend on how quickly you download the new update. There is currently no official information about the download size.
Everything we know so far about the new Season 4 of CoD: Modern Warfare and Warzone
Where does the information come from? Officially, not much is known yet, but some details about the new season have already been revealed by the developers, for example in tweets or interviews.
In addition, there are already some unconfirmed details from leaks, rumors, and some data finds, which, however, partly come from reliable and established sources, such as the probably most famous CoD leaker TheGamingRevolution. So, one can already get a first picture of what to expect from the new Season 4.
Nevertheless, please note: Many pieces of information are not officially confirmed details. So enjoy the unofficial part with the appropriate caution.
Modern Warfare and CoD Warzone – Season 4 Battle Pass
What’s included in the Battle Pass for Season 4? There will be a new Battle Pass with 100 tiers – that is practically set in stone. Because even before the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, the developers confirmed that they would focus on this model.
The previous Battle Passes also share an identical format, so nothing is expected to change for Season 4 either. Through the Pass, there will still be various rewards (mostly) of a cosmetic nature such as new operator skins or new plans and weapons.
Buying the Season 4 Battle Pass – Is it mandatory? Only if you want to fully exploit all its rewards. Because this offers with the free reward branch all gameplay-relevant rewards such as new base weapons for all players.
Only for access to the paid premium reward branch will you need to spend 1,000 CoD points or €10 (or 2,400 CoD points for a bundle with 20 tier unlocks). There are basically just more cosmetics there.
Specific contents from the Battle Pass are not yet known.
Season 4 with new maps, weapons, and more – What we know
There will be a rank reset: What is already certain: with the start of the new season, there will again be a rank reset. This means that all players above rank 55 will be reset to rank 55 and may again try to reach the seasonal maximum level of 155.
Because in CoD: Modern Warfare, ranks 56 – 155, the so-called officer ranks, are now seasonal and must be climbed anew in each season.
Are there new operators? Traditionally, with each new season, there are also new operators through the season pass. In Season 4, it currently looks like you will be able to play the legendary Captain Price and Gaz as new operators. So far, both characters have only been seen as NPCs in the campaign. An unknown female soldier is also rumored.
More cult figures from Task Force 141, such as Soap, are also being discussed as potential candidates. However, apart from the connection with Price (who is also a member of TF 141), there are no solid hints regarding more new operators.
The legendary Captain Price may come as a new operator, as a video reveals.
What about new weapons? Normally, CoD: MW introduces 3 new weapons per season. Two will be communicated in advance and are available from the beginning through the Battle Pass, one is secret and comes into play during the respective season.
Both were seen in the teaser for Season 4 in the hands of Price and Gaz. The following firearms have also appeared in leaks or game data and are still in consideration – possibly as a third, secret weapon:
APC 9 – submachine gun
HK G28 – DMR
XM109/AMR – sniper
Akimbo swords (2x knives in the style of Shoto swords)
Confirmed changes for Season 4 for Warzone: Some details about the upcoming contents for the Battle Royale have already been confirmed by the developers. These include
new items – for player loadouts and as findable loot in the world
New story developments (maybe we will finally learn more about the mysterious Bunker 11)
Leaks and rumors about Warzone in Season 4: Unconfirmed information and rumors also speak of further innovations that we may still see in the context of Season 4 in the Battle Royale. These include among others
Confirmed changes for the traditional multiplayer of CoD MW: Really nothing has been confirmed for the regular multiplayer mode yet. However, it is considered certain that several new maps will be introduced into the game. Which ones – there are only rumors about it so far.
Leaks and rumors about the traditional multiplayer of CoD MW: There have been leaks for quite some time about numerous new maps and modes that should gradually enrich the traditional multiplayer of CoD: MW.
And some of them have already made it into the game. Many therefore assume that other maps from this list will also follow. After all, there are a total of 38 maps and 23 modes listed there. Other leaks even speak of up to 60 new maps that are supposed to follow gradually for CoD: MW.
Which new maps will Season 4 hold?
Currently, Modern Warfare always offers a mix of new maps and popular maps from previous installments of the series with a new season. This is expected to continue in Season 4 as well. However, which maps might come into the game with the new season – unfortunately, one can only speculate at this time.
In the first trailer for Season 4, fans already want to have discovered the popular Scrapyard from Modern Warfare 2. Fan favorites like Mission (MW3), Favela (MW2), or Terminal (MW2, MW3) are also very high on many wish lists.

Why are there so many Chinese bots on the realms of WoW: Classic? A Chinese person speaks out and explains what the big problem is.
Anyone currently playing World of Warcraft Classic will have seen plenty of them on the larger realms: bots. Particularly a problem on Chinese realms, the wave has spilled over to European servers in recent months.
Bots often travel in groups of 5-10 characters, clearing out a specific area or spending several days in dungeons to farm gold. A Chinese player recently explained on Reddit why this is the case and what “blame” the WoW token in Classic carries.
Who is speaking? In the WoW Classic subreddit, the user oldeasysleepyhero has spoken up. According to his own statements, he is also Chinese and explains why botting is on the rise. Having spoken with some gold farmers and botters, he believes he can provide good insights. Especially because in China, botters now rule everything.
The bot wave from China – is there any truth to it?
The mentality of players carries great blame
First, he explains that the mentality of many players has changed. Those who used to be willing to farm gold for 10 hours straight during their student days may not be willing to do so anymore. Many of these players are now in the workforce and think: “The gold I buy costs me an hour of real working time. I’m saving many hours.”
Many players feel the same way, which is why the demand for buying gold exists at all.
Additionally, the market is also created by the botters and farmers themselves. They repeatedly offer raid groups where items are bid on with gold. The gold is then split among all the other players. So, if someone wants to buy their T1 shoulders from Molten Core, they have to purchase them in a GDKP group for several thousand gold. At least if they don’t have their own raid group.
The gold that these players use to bid comes from real-money purchases. This gold is then farmed by the botters.
Why is the WoW Token to blame? NetEase introduced the WoW token on the Chinese Classic realms. This led to a drastic decrease in the gold price on Chinese realms. Many Chinese farmers and botters have therefore decided to try their luck on European and American realms. There, they earn nearly 7 times for the same effort.
Why don’t bans work? According to oldeasysleepyhero, it is hardly possible to effectively restrict the bots. Botters regularly buy new accounts and let the characters level up “on the side”. While four mages farm Maraudon, they simply pull the fifth mage along to have another character ready to bot.
What can Blizzard do? According to the thread starter, Blizzard should consider activating the WoW token on European realms as well. This would make the market at least as uninteresting as it already is on Chinese realms.
Whether all of this is exactly as oldeasysleepyhero tells it is, of course, hard to verify. But at least his narrative sounds coherent and would explain why bots and real-money sellers have massively increased in Europe in recent months.
Do you have many problems with bots in World of Warcraft Classic? Or have you not noticed any at all, and is it all exaggerated?

Sniper rifles are among the most popular weapons in Call of Duty: Warzone. A YouTuber and CoD expert has created a new top build with one of the strongest snipers, the AX-50, and has really cleaned up with it. We will show you how to recreate it.
Who is the expert? It’s YouTuber James “Spratt” Spratt, who produces a lot of gameplay and analysis for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare on his channel and now has over a million subscribers.
Now he has specifically devised a new build for the AX-50 for Warzone, one of the two top snipers next to the HDR. The occasion was a bundle in the shop, the “Trickshot” bundle, which includes a special skin for the AX-50:
The “Flawless Technique” skin was the reason for the new video and build. Source: YouTube.
Top Build for the AX-50
This is the build: Spratt only uses the skin from the bundle, but customizes the weapon to his liking. He uses the following attachments:
Muzzle: Suppressor (Monolithic)
Barrel: 32″ Factory Barrel
Laser: Tactical Laser
Stock: Singuard Arms Assassin
Grip: Stippled Grip Tape
Spratt’s build recreated without the skin.
The weapon setup is roughly equivalent to what we have already presented in our best builds for snipers in Warzone. However, this combination of attachments is more aimed at precise aiming and killing with the first shot rather than being able to take multiple shots in a row.
The strength of the build: Spratt impressively demonstrates how strong this build is in his video. On the PS4, he takes down opponents sequentially with the controller.
At the end of the round, which he concludes with a victory, he achieves an impressive 21 kills, many of which are headshots that kill instantly with the AX-50. While this is not enough for a new kill record in Warzone, it is still an impressive number. We have included the video of his nearly 15-minute round here for you:

With this Grau, he complements the long range of the AX-50 with an assault rifle that allows for secure hits, especially at medium range. Although the setup is without a stock, the Grau remains stable even at longer distances and offers enough mobility for close quarters combat. As equipment, Spratt uses C4 and a Stun Grenade.
The chosen perks are E.O.D., Overkill, and Amped. This means he forgoes both currently considered essential perks: KRD and Cold-Blooded, which protect against rocket launchers and thermal sights.
However, simply copying Spratt’s build and loadout is not enough to achieve a strong round like his. You need quite a bit of practice, especially with sniper rifles. Training your aim with a Warzone expert could help you. This will train your ability to aim quickly and accurately at heads and help you warm up for the next round.

Bungie was surprisingly tight-lipped about Season 11. Only with a live stream was the secret of the season revealed and the further future of Destiny 2 unveiled:
Since this is the first Weekly Reset of Season 11 and a lot has changed in the game, we have to get a clearer picture of the changes ourselves, so this post is a bit shorter than you might be used to.
Next week, however, the reset will be covered in as much detail as possible.
The key information about weekly activities from June 9th to June 16th.
These Nightfall Strikes are available:For the normal Nightfall (Power level 820), you can choose from these Nightfalls:
The current Flashpoint can be found in the Shattered Shore.
Petra Venj can currently be found (Curse Week 2) for one week right at the landing zone of the Dreaming City. She sends you on a mission in the 3rd Ascendant Challenge.
These are the sources for Powerful Loot in Season 11 of Destiny 2
This is how Powerful Loot is structured in Season 11: Since the season has just begun, we still lack the necessary information about the sources for Powerful rewards in the new season.
Please feel free to help us in the comments to find out all sources.
There are also changes at the Eververse
Eververse Glimmer Highlightss
These are the Glimmer highlights of this week: There have also been changes at the Eververse.
The exotic emote “Cup of Tea”
The exotic emote “Guitar Solo”
The exotic Sparrow “The Bronco”
The exotic ship “The Mechaform”
The exotic weapon ornament for Monte Carlo “What If”
The exotic Ghost shell “Oppressive Shell”
The exotic Ghost shell “Crimson Swarm Shell”

A player of Call of Duty: Warzone posted a suggestion for an improvement in the Battle Royale. Although it is actually just a tiny detail, this change would be really helpful and tens of thousands of players agree.
What is this change? It is about a small display in the HUD (“Heads-Up Display”) that should allow players to see the equipment of their teammates. The reddit user guispfilho showed his idea to other players in the Warzone subreddit.
He shows small icons under the display of the teammates’ names that are supposed to provide different information. Namely:
The icons represent typical and well-known symbols for the respective items that every player should immediately recognize.
What would this bring? A display like this would allow players to see at a glance how well their teammates are equipped. For fixed teams, it would be easier to quickly come up with a tactic for a fight – based on the equipment available to them.
But this would be especially strong for players in random groups. There, people could see without any prior discussion in voice chat what others need, to provide them with leftover armor plates, or to buy some of the most important items in Warzone that are currently missing in the team.
Is a drone (UAV) missing from the team? With the HUD improvement, you would see that immediately.
Small change receives huge support
The corresponding post on reddit has now received over 21,000 upvotes (as of June 9) and players enthusiastically agree with the idea. Yato_amoll simply writes: “That would be a great addition to the game.”
The new Call of Duty is now known for taking up a lot of storage space on hard drives and requiring huge downloads for updates with seemingly few changes. Fortunately, there are now developer tips to reduce storage requirements on PS4 and Xbox One. Nevertheless, the idea of these small icons seems to be received quite well. What do you think about it?

To make this easier, there will again be extended incense times. The item will last for three hours again. So if you stack two incense items right at the start of the event, you’ll be set for the whole day and can look forward to more spawns.
During the event, you can also buy a suitable bundle in the shop. It contains:
A Premium Raid Pass
30 Ultra Balls
3 Star Pieces
3 Incense
How to get Hornliu: Hornliu will appear more frequently on the map throughout the event period. Additionally, surprises are expected with snapshots – it’s very likely that the worm will hop into your photo.
Today, on Tuesday, June 9, a new update for Valorant went online, the first since its official release: Update 1.1. This update includes several changes – and yet another nerf for an already frequently targeted agent.
How is Sage being nerfed? With the new Update 1.1, Sage receives only a small adjustment to her abilities. Specifically, it concerns her ability “Barrier Orb (C).” The range of this wall has been reduced from 20 to 10 meters.
This is likely intended to prevent Sage from suppressing her opponents too much without putting herself in danger. Players against Sage now have an easier time punishing her if she plays too aggressively.
Why another nerf? Of all agents in Valorant, Sage is probably the most useful. Her abilities are strong both in defense and offense, making her an almost indispensable heroine.
The agent Sage is receiving another nerf.
She is not inherently too strong, but because she is useful in almost every situation, she outshines almost all other agents. In the tier list of agents, she is at the top in the S-tier. Since the beta of Valorant, she has already been nerfed in almost every patch:
Even in the release patch on June 2, the cooldown of her healing and barrier was increased, and the health points of the barrier were further reduced
Patch Notes for Update 1.1
Changes to the new mode: One of the larger changes occurs in the new mode “Spike Rush”. Here, there are now five random orbs to collect each round. One of them is the “Full Ultimate” orb, while the others are randomly selected from different orb types. There are now three new ones:
Healing
Distraction (weakens enemy perception)
Golden Weapon (weapon hits kill instantly)
Additionally, the HUD for Spike Rush will be improved and players receive one ultimate point for each collected orb. Here’s a bit of gameplay for the new mode:

Other changes from the patch: The other contents of the update mainly consist of performance enhancements, such as fixing FPS issues, and bug fixes.
Furthermore, there are numerous general improvements that ensure projectiles behave more consistently and some adjustments to the display as well as additional features. You can find the full patch notes in German on the official Valorant website.
However, there is currently no information available about some of the bugs that have been troubling the community since the release, specifically those with error codes 29 and 7. Both errors affect many players, but fortunately, they can even be easily fixed by the users themselves. We show you here, how to fix issues with error codes 29 and 7 and what they actually are.

In Destiny 2 today on PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Google Stadia maintenance is taking place – including server downtime and a new patch. The major update 2.9.0 marks the start of the new Season 11, which begins immediately afterwards. Here is all the important information about the maintenance process and the patch notes.
Even if not much is known yet – today with the Weekly Reset, Season 10 ends and the new Season 11, the Season of Arrival, starts. But before you can dive into the new content today, you need to download the major update 2.9.0. Because it brings the new season into the game.
The update is now live and can be downloaded. On PS4, it has version number 1.52 and is 3,821 GB in size.
Update – Problems on PS4: Currently (21:30) Destiny 2 on PlayStation 4 is experiencing server issues. Bungie confirms that they are working on it. However, officially it may take until 23:00, at which point the maintenance is scheduled to end.

Please also note: Until the maintenance officially ends at 23:00, there may be queues and login issues in Destiny 2.
Will the Pyramid ships finally arrive tonight?
What changes today with update 2.9.0 in Destiny 2?
This is what we know so far: In advance, the developers at Bungie have provided exemplary insights into the changes for Season 11.
In addition to new content, adjustments for the sandbox, weapons, Eververse, raids, the Trials and numerous bug fixes are set to make their way into the game.
The Almighty has now been destroyed and disappeared from the sky
Keep in mind that this is not a complete list of all planned adjustments. A complete listing of all changes will be provided today in the form of the official patch notes.
The patch notes for Destiny 2 update 2.9.0
The official English patch notes for the new update 2.9.0 for Destiny 2 are not yet available. They are expected for later this evening.
Until then, we have linked the original English changelog for you:
Destiny 2 has finally shown what the franchise will look like going forward and surprisingly presented not only the new fall expansion “Beyond Light” but also its plans for the next 3 years – with 2 more big addons.
This is what many have been waiting for: In Destiny 2, the MMO shooter by Bungie, the Season of Arrival began today, on June 9th. This marks the final stage of the current Destiny spin-off’s third year. After the new Season 11, Year 4 is set to begin with a new expansion that Bungie has introduced simultaneously with the new season.
But that’s not all. To the general surprise, Bungie has done something that many fans and players have wished for a long time: namely, it has spoken plainly about the future of Destiny 2 and revealed its plans for the coming years.
MeinMMO shows what Destiny 2 has planned for Fall 2022 with Beyond Light and in the subsequent years as part of the “Find your next Game” action.
Destiny 2: Beyond Light – This is the new big fall expansion
The next big expansion for Destiny 2 will be Beyond Light and is set to release on November 10, 2020 (delayed from September 22). It will continue the story that is being built up in the new Season 11 and will reach its climax.
What we know about Beyond Light:
New Location
Destiny 2: Beyond Light takes us to Europa, an icy moon of Jupiter, where new adventures await us. By the way, Europa is home to the mysterious Deepstone Crypt and is the birthplace of the Exo. There should be plenty of new things to discover on this ice rock.

Most of the new campaign will also take place there. A new power has been born from the ancient pyramid ship hovering over the moon Europa. And beneath it, a dark empire has risen. Familiar characters like Eris Morn and the Wanderer are likely to play important roles, as teasers have already revealed.
The Wanderer, the mysterious Exo, and Eris Morn
Additionally, Beyond Light is set to offer a new raid and new gear, as Mark Noseworthy, the General Manager of Destiny 2, revealed in an exclusive interview with MeinMMO prior to the big reveal.
The new raid will take place beneath the frozen tundra of Europa – in the Deepstone Crypt, a BrayTech facility from the Golden Age that has been inactive for decades.
New Power
On Europa, we will also meet the leader of a Fallen empire named Eramis, Kell of Darkness. Under her leadership, the scattered houses of the Fallen have gathered and built their new empire on Europa.
Abandoned by the Traveler and forsaken by the Light, Eramis embarks on her journey into Darkness and is on a collision course with the Guardians. She has learned to control and harness the dark power that comes directly from the pyramid ships of Darkness.
A new Stasis super
If you defeat her, you will also be able to control this power. Thus, for the first time since the launch of Destiny 1 six years ago, Guardians will receive a new damage element – Stasis. Along with new supers for each class, each of whom can utilize the Darkness in different ways.
While the previous elements Arc, Solar, and Void are all based on Light, Stasis draws its power from Darkness. We will thus be able to harness Darkness ourselves for the first time without succumbing to it – as Mark Noseworthy stated, we will not become evil or corrupted ourselves; we simply use Darkness to protect the Light.
Bungie is clearly committed to Destiny 2 for the coming years, as the studio told us in the interview, and wants to bring a lot of content for that. The much-speculated Destiny 3 now seems to be a distant prospect.
The upcoming “Beyond Light” expansion is just the first part of Bungie’s multi-year plan.
The plans until 2022
What to expect by Fall 2022
By 2022 there will be 3 major expansions – one per year
In Fall 2020, Destiny 2: Beyond Light will be released
For 2021, the expansion Destiny 2: Witch Queen is planned. A new enemy is expected to emerge from the shadows. This enemy is Savathûn, the sister of Oryx, which should please many fans of the series. Guardians have been hoping and waiting for the Witch Queen as an opponent for a long time.
In 2022, the expansion Destiny 2: Lightfall is expected to come. This will focus on the final showdown between Light and Darkness.
The 3 expansions embody a sort of trilogy that aims to tell one big story.
The interesting part: Bungie claims that with Destiny 2, they are going full action MMO and want to be number one worldwide. Together with the commitment to Destiny 2 for the coming years, this marks a clear direction the game is heading – aiming to be a big MMO instead of Destiny 1, 2, 3, or 4.
This is still planned for Destiny 2
In addition to the upcoming expansions, Bungie also revealed some exciting details about the immediate future of Destiny 2.
For owners of the game, Destiny 2 will be available for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X as a free upgrade. This means: All content already owned on PS4 will be transferred to PS5 at no additional cost. You do not have to pay a second time for anything.
Additionally, many Guardians speculated whether the game would perform better with better hardware. The answer will likely please many Guardians.
Destiny 2 will offer 60 FPS and true 4K resolution on next-gen consoles. 60 FPS has always been one of the biggest wishes among console players.
This view will be available on next-gen consoles with 60 FPS and in true 4K
Intergenerational Crossplay
With the introduction of the new console generation, Bungie aims to enable intergenerational crossplay in Destiny 2 – meaning that different generations of consoles from the same manufacturer can play Destiny 2 together.
PS4 players will then be able to play with PS5 Guardians, and the same applies to Xbox One and Xbox Series X.
True Crossplay is Coming
While there is currently no fixed date for this, in the interview, Mark Noseworthy revealed that Bungie hopes to introduce true crossplay among all platforms next year. This is a high priority for the studio, according to the General Manager of Destiny 2.
Then Guardians on PC and consoles could finally team up and create a large overarching community – regardless of which platform they play on.
Potential: Strong Outlook
Finally, Bungie has done what many fans and players (myself included) have been demanding for a long time in Destiny 2 – they are laying all cards on the table and speaking plainly about the future of Destiny 2. And not just about the new season or the next expansion, but about the big picture. At first glance, this looks very promising.
The studio clearly commits to its game for years to come, thus dispelling many uncertainties, insecurities, and rumors. Destiny 3 is off the table for now; Destiny 2 is likely to continue until at least 2023 (with seasons after Lightfall).
Moreover, Bungie has also communicated openly and early what to expect regarding Destiny 2 on the next-gen consoles PS5 and Xbox Series X.
What the upcoming content will ultimately hold remains to be seen. But everyone now knows how the rough roadmap and direction for the coming years looks and can decide for themselves whether they want to be a part of it and follow this path or not. And that is exactly what many have wished for so long.
I now look forward to the future of Destiny 2 with a much more positive outlook and am excited for the coming years with the game. See you starside, Guardians.

In Destiny 2 the Season of Arrival is now live. MeinMMO provides you with all the important information about the new Season 11 in a compact format. Here you will find everything about activities, content, the new season pass and the story.
What is a season in Destiny 2? A season lasts about three months and provides the game with new content. These are usually themed around a seasonal topic. The big difference from classic DLCs or expansions is that the seasons do not release all their contents at once, but spread it over the entire three months.
Compared to the classic expansions, a season is cheaper and includes plenty of content for all players, so it is free for every Guardian – whether they pay or not. You can purchase the current season separately and dive directly into the action, even if you weren’t there for the previous seasons.
The new Season 11 is here: On June 9, the start signal for the Season of Arrival was fired with a bang. In the live stream, Bungie finally revealed what the Guardians have been waiting for and what to expect until the next big thing in Fall 2020 in Destiny 2.
We will continuously expand this article throughout the season and fill it with the latest content.
On July 16, it was announced that the Fall DLC has been postponed to November. This has also changed the roadmap for Season 11. You can find the current version here:
Everything you need to know about Season 11 in Destiny 2
[toc]
To keep players entertained for about three months, the Season of Arrival offers among other things:
a dark story
several new PvE activities
a new dungeon
fresh weapons, armor, and loot
numerous changes and adjustments
Story in the Season of Arrival
The focus of the story is on the arrival of the Pyramid ships in our solar system, which bring darkness with them. The story thus connects to the events of Season 10:
These events have been pushed forward in the background over the past years but are now in the spotlight.
The Pyramids of Darkness are finally here
This is how the story continues: What the threatening arrival means for us and the solar system will be revealed in the coming months. The Pyramid ships have already landed on Io and are preparing their invasion.
The Season of Arrival will storywise serve as the prequel to Destiny 2: Beyond Light, the big fall expansion.
The Pyramids are supposed to visibly show their presence. We expect Destiny 2 to up its storytelling through the environment a few notches in this season.
Our arch-enemy is expected to position itself continually, becoming increasingly threatening, and representing a palpable danger. In the fall, “Beyond Light” will then be unleashed on the Guardians.
The Guardians embark on a quest in the dungeon to follow the mysterious Nine and the Darkness. The activity features a surreal atmosphere where up is down, and reality plays tricks.
Check out the dungeon in action here:

What are dungeons in Destiny? Dungeons are considered to be among the most popular PvE content. They are longer missions for up to 3 players and remind players of mini-versions of the large raids from the Destiny universe with their challenging combat and puzzles.
Currently, Guardians can venture into two dungeons:
Like the Seraph Tower event, this activity also takes place in the public space. If you don’t want to rely on your teammates, you should check out our build to rock the contact event.
On Io, you will encounter mini-versions of the Pyramid ships during the contact event
A new season pass for the Guardians
As in previous seasons, it contains rewards for all players of Destiny 2 and additional items for buyers of the current Season 11.
The season pass for Season 11, the Season of Arrival costs 1,000 Silver – about 10 €
What’s included in the season pass:
the new exotic grenade launcher “Witherhoard” (season pass owners receive it at level 1 – free2play Guardians later in the pass)
In the run-up to the Season of Arrival, Bungie announced many updates and sandbox adjustments that are meant to make Guardian life easier for us. This includes comprehensive changes to loot, your weapons, and more.
Here are the significant changes in the Season of Arrival:
Will you jump into the new Season 11 right after the big update? Did you expect a brand new dungeon and what do you think of the public activity on Io? MeinMMO will stay on track for you, and we will diligently check all the contents of the Season of Arrival in the coming days.

Are there cheaters in the Weekend League? A FIFA 20 pro has discovered evidence of an exploit that prevents players from losing matches.
What is this exploit? The FIFA pro Harry Blackmore, also known as “Honey Badger,” achieved a score of 30 wins – and thus 0 losses – in the current Weekend League. However, that still wasn’t enough for the Top 100 of the current round, as other players had higher skill ratings.
The match replays of the Top 100 can be viewed in the “Champions Channel” – and in doing so, Honey Badger made an interesting discovery, which he shared on Twitter:
CHEATING IN WEEKEND LEAGUE COST ME TOP 100!!
A real shame after a crazy stream to see no TOP 100. Ultimate TOTS pack is the most hyped pack of the year and was buzzing to stream it and put on YT.
In the video, it can be seen that the user SaLoOoM_14 has a total of 52 match replays instead of 30. This would mean that he played 22 more matches than the 30 that were actually intended – which apparently were all not counted. He also achieved a 30-0 and stands in 14th place in the Top 100. How is this possible?
The video shows that the player has accumulated several draws and even would have lost one game. However, he exits these matches using a disconnect. This normally should count as a loss in his overall record. However, this does not seem to be the case here.
Through this apparent prevention of losses, the high number of wins accumulates, which has brought the player into the Top 100. A circumstance that has caused excitement in the community.
Community wants improvement
This is what the community says: In the FIFA subreddit, the video has garnered quite a bit of attention. Many report that they have experienced more quits than usual this weekend, linking this to this exploit.
Currently, a connection cannot necessarily be confirmed – after all, rage quits in hopeless Weekend League matches are not unusual. However, larger players like the streamer NepentheZ also drew attention to the issue on Twitter:
He writes: “This cheat is rampant in the Weekend League and deserves to be acknowledged and addressed by EA.”
Honey Badger also emphasized: “I hope EA sees this and takes care of it.”
Currently, many players are likely frustrated if they do not finish as high as hoped in the Weekend League. Because the Ultimate TOTS Event is currently running – and the best cards in the game end up in the Weekend League rewards.

The 2015 world champion Attach presented his CDL competition loadouts for Search & Destroy in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Check out what’s for your matches here on MeinMMO.
What is “Search & Destroy” and why do I need loadouts for it? The tactical mode Search & Destroy (Eng. “Search & Destroy”, short: SnD) is one of the many multiplayer modes of Modern Warfare.
In the SnD mode, matches run quite differently than in most other multiplayer modes, which is why specialized loadouts are recommended:
Respawn is disabled – Players who are eliminated only return in the next round
There are attackers and defenders – The attackers must try to destroy one of the two enemy objectives with a bomb
A team wins if the bomb has destroyed an objective, the explosive has been defused, or one team is completely down without the bomb being planted.
Maximum of 7 rounds – The first team to 4 victories wins the match
Search & Destroy has been part of Call of Duty for a long time and for many players, it is the best mode of the entire game. The rules require a completely different approach and often completely different loadouts.
Whose loadouts are they? The equipment recommendation comes from the CoD world champion of 2015 and current player of the “Call of Duty League” Dillon “Attach” Price. Attach was the youngest CoD world champion to date (at 18 years old) and is currently battling for the “New York Subliners”.
3 strong loadouts for SnD with CDL rules
In an English YouTube video, the pro shows 3 loadouts that he considers the best equipment in Search & Destroy with CDL rules. MeinMMO presents his loadouts and briefly shows how to use them effectively. We’ve embedded the video for you here:

How do I play this loadout? This is a “Rush Loadout” with which you quickly move across the map to take a specific position or initiate flank attacks. The MP5 is ideal for this, as it has been considered one of the best weapons of Modern Warfare since the beta phase.
The yellow perk “Tactical Mask” plays a significant role here. It allows you to use the field upgrade “Dead Silence” quickly or more often. Combined with “Sprint Speed”, you move incredibly fast across the maps.
Additionally, Attach likes to carry a smoke grenade. He emphasizes how powerful the grenade can be when you obscure an area guarded by the enemy, who may not know exactly what tactics you are pursuing with the smoke.
M4A1 Loadout – For flexibility
M4A1 attachments
Muzzle: Compensator
Barrel: M16 Grenadier
Stock: No Stock
Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip
Grip: Stippled Grip Tape
Blue Perk: Fast Hands
Red Perk: Ghost
Yellow Perk: Flak Jacket or Tactical Mask
Specialist: Sprint Speed / Tactical Mask / Eager
Field Upgrade: Dead Silence
How do I play this loadout? With this loadout, Attach feels equipped for all combat distances. His M4 performs very well at all ranges and thanks to the anti-equipment perks “Flak Jacket” and “Fast Hands”, he also dares to go to spots where he expects to be hit by an enemy grenade. More about the strong KRD perk can be found here.
With this loadout, you are very flexible and can take on various roles during the match. Thanks to the quick and stable M4, you can assist at the front, but also secure larger areas.
AX-50 Loadout – For sniper action
AX-50 attachments:
Barrel: 32″ Factory Barrel
Scope: Variable Zoom Scope
Stock: Singuard Arms Assassin
Grip: Stippled Grip Tape
Extra: Focus
Blue Perk: Sprint Speed or Fast Hands
Red Perk: Ghost
Yellow Perk: Tactical Mask
Specialist: Eager / Fast Hands / Looting
Field Upgrade: Dead Silence
How do I play this loadout? Playing a sniper weapon in CoD’s multiplayer usually doesn’t mean waiting a long time for the enemy.
With this class, Attach also wants to move quickly across the map but can also eliminate enemies at very long distances. When he plays aggressively with the AX-50, he opts for “Sprint Speed”. If he stays back a bit for sniping, he tends to choose “Fast Hands” for the blue perks.
The extra “Focus” in the setup helps with weapon control while under fire. We recommend this extra in our tips for snipers for every sniper playstyle, as you can significantly reduce the “flinch effect”.
SnD loadouts help even in public games
Are the loadouts also suitable for public games? The setups here are strong and can also work in public games. However, the rules of CDL matches differ significantly regarding equipment selection:
Only snipers, SMGs, and assault rifles are allowed
No killstreaks available
Fewer field upgrades allowed
About half of the perks are banned
Only frag grenades and Semtex in primary equipment
Only flashbangs, stun grenades, and smoke grenades in tactical equipment
Some attachments are banned, like laser or akimbo
Therefore, these loadouts are especially useful as a foundation from which you can further develop.
Try to experiment a bit here and adjust the loadouts to your playstyle. “Specialist” can be extremely strong in Search & Destroy. It might be worth it for you to skip killstreaks from Modern Warfare since there are generally few kills to distribute in SnD.

The end of Season 20 in Diablo 3 is just a few days away. Blizzard has now officially confirmed the date. According to players, there are still issues with the new Season 21.
When does Season 20 end? In the official Blizzard forums, the Community Manager for Diablo 3, PezRadar, spoke up.
He confirmed the end of Season 20 for Sunday, June 21, 2020, at 5:00 PM German time. (Via Blizzard forums)
You have less than two weeks from today to achieve your Season goals, if you haven’t done so already.
Tips on how to complete Season 20 now
What can you unlock? If you successfully complete the Season journey of S20, you will unlock portrait frames and a cool bat pet. However, you will need to put in some effort as this companion is not given for free.
This cool bat can be unlocked as a companion in Season 20 of Diablo 3
While some of the tasks are self-explanatory, there is a specific task that requires help. For the “Flawless Victory” task, you need to complete three achievements.
One of the easier achievements is to reach a Greater Nephalem Rift Level 75 in solo play. With the builds from the Tier list for Season 20 in Diablo 3, this is no problem and can be done quickly by you.
For the second achievement, we recommend Cursed and Sewn Shut
What we know: There is usually a one to two-week gap between the end of a past season and the start of a new season. The last seasons (16, 17, 18, 19, and 20) all started on a Friday.
So, it can be assumed that Season 21 will also start on a Friday. We anticipate another 1 to 2 weeks break after the end of Season 20. Possible start dates would speculatively be:
Friday, June 26
Friday, July 3
If there are issues, this start could be delayed even further. Therefore, consider these dates as possibilities, not as fixed start dates.
Bungie is presenting tonight, on June 9th, how Destiny 2 will continue. Much indicates that we will see what would have actually become Destiny 3: the Fall expansion of 2020. We are covering it live on MeinMMO in German so that you have the most important information from the stream at a glance.
When does it start? The stream begins at 6 PM German time on June 9, 2020.
Here’s how you can watch the stream: The stream is available on Twitch, Mixer and YouTube.
This is why the stream is so important: It is assumed that Bungie will show today what “actually” would have been Destiny 3, if they had remained with Activision Blizzard, Destiny 3. The planned new game of the franchise for PS5 and Xbox Series X.
After the emergency expansion “Shadowkeep” from 2019, the expansion we will see today is likely to be something like “the big hit.”
However, these are still speculations at the moment, because much of what is expected today sounded like Destiny 3. Whether everything will actually come true and we will see something big today will be revealed later tonight.
Here begins the live ticker from MeinMMO for Destiny 2 – Reveal:
18:35: In the end, about 180,000 people watched on Twitch. It was an informative, very dense stream. We will have more articles on MeinMMO in the coming hours and days to delve into and clarify the new information. Bungie will also release more information.
Looking back, one can say: This was indeed the most important stream since at least 2017, and perhaps the most important stream regarding the direction of the game.
We are also happy if you continue to follow the articles about Destiny 2 here on MeinMMO:
18:34: The most important information from the stream:
3 Destiny expansions are coming by 2022, all bringing “brand new locations”.
The 2020 expansion will arrive on September 22. It introduces a 4th element: Stasis.
Bungie is not making Destiny 3, but is diving fully into Destiny 2.
They will take old content out of the game and place it in a kind of “vault”, but will also bring content from Destiny 1 into Destiny 2.
Today, Season 11 starts as a preview of the new beautiful era, and a dungeon is supposed to launch tonight: “The Prophecy Dungeon”.
18:32: The Season of Arrival starts tonight. It will likely be Eris Morn’s season. This is expected to be a small prelude to what is to come.
18:14: Europe is coming as a new location, the ice planet. Here is the reveal trailer. A kind of “new villain” is currently being introduced in the stream.

Here is the reveal trailer for Destiny 2: Beyond Light
Fall expansion is called Beyond Light – Release September
18:12: The trailer just had a bit of Star Wars. Certainly not a coincidence. Everything looks like ice planet and action. The Exo-Stranger speaks. Luke Smith then says: “So a guy said the story of the Exo-Stranger would be over” – that is self-irony, that guy was Luke Smith himself. They are picking up the story again:
The new expansion is called “Destiny 2: Beyond Light”
September 22 is the release date
Exo Stranger will be important.
18:10: Here are the two heads in a statement from May. They explain under what difficult circumstances Destiny 2 came together while gracefully observing the Corona distancing rules.
“This is not how we envisioned it” is the message from Luke Smith.
The stream is recorded, they did not do it live today.
18:02: Currently, 150,000 people are watching on Twitch. Subscriptions are constantly flooding in because the chat is only activated for subscribers.
18:00: “Black Lives Matter” message, Bungie waits 8 minutes and 46 seconds in silence before the stream begins. This was the duration until George Floyd died on May 25. That is a strong message.
Bungie sends a signal to Black Lives Matter in the stream.
17:59: Stylish graphical demonstration of the milestones until today. While Osiris likely wasn’t as great in practice as initially thought.
17:55: A bit different than usual. No sound check from DeeJ, but a video showing how Bungie works in home office. We have already written about how Bungie is dealing with the Corona pandemic. According to Bungie, they still want to achieve all goals for 2020 despite the home office.
17:51: The stream has begun, I was almost startled by the loud sound.
17:11: Good sign: Twitch streamer DrLupo says he has an interview with Luke Smith personally. If he is there, it will likely be important (via twitter)
Luke Smith, something like “Destiny Jesus.”
17:08: It is actually clear that tonight the fall expansion will be shown. A leak in the PS Store has already revealed when the release will be: The 2020 expansion is scheduled to be released on September 22, 2020. That is a Tuesday.
This is the usual timeframe in which Destiny expansions are released. The important question is: What will be the main features? Will there be a 5th enemy race? Will something substantively new come after 6 years of Destiny? What will the message be that Bungie sends to bring lost sheep back to the herd?
17:00: Welcome to the MeinMMO live ticker. Expert tip right at the beginning: Whether this evening will be “the big hit” or rather a small expansion can already be deduced from whether Bungie’s A-team is there or not.
Luke Smith and Mark Noseworthy are the duo responsible for the “big things” at Destiny. They were responsible for “The Taken King” in 2015, then also under time pressure for Destiny 2 and they were the ones who presented the “new era” of Destiny in summer 2019: the time without Activision.
Luke Smith (left) and Mark Noseworthy (right). If we see the two tonight, it will be truly important.
If they are seen in the stream today and look as if they are in charge, then we will see what would have actually been Destiny 3. This will be the opportunity to witness whether Bungie really learned from the problems of 2017.
A new dungeon “The Prophecy” is coming tonight – free for all players.

18:29: There is indeed a lot of new information. This is essentially the “Destiny universe” that many wished for: a large MMO, rather than Destiny 1, 2, 3, and 4.
We will have to see how this will work in practice with content rotating in and out.
18:27: Luke Smith says he does not want to make a part 3 and start over, but the game is getting too big. Every year, when new content comes to Destiny, they want to take old content out of the game and put it into a vault.
Destiny also wants to bring back old content from Destiny 1 and pull it back from the vault. Some of the “greatest hits” are supposed to return.
Bungie is “All in Destiny 2” – until at least 2022
18:22: Destiny just presented 2 expansions for 2021 and 2022. That was unusual. That means that Destiny 2 will continue at least until 2022. The next two expansions are called “Witch Queen” and “Lightfall”.
Luke Smith says, “We haven’t done everything right”, but they feel fully committed to Destiny 2. Luke Smith takes responsibility for the mistakes made with Destiny 2.
The features for the future:
They will overhaul the quest log.
60 frames, 4k for Xbox Series X and PS5. Furthermore, players will be able to carry all content from Destiny 2 to the new consoles – at no additional cost.
PS4 and PS5 will play together – Xbox One and Xbox Series X will also play together. “Intergenerational Play.”
Destiny 2 plans to bring Crossplay for all in 2021 or at least it is planned.
Europe is a completely new arena. The two expansions of 2021 and 2022 will also bring completely new expansions.
4th element comes to Destiny 2: “Stasis”
18:17: Players will be able to use Darkness as a weapon. The new power is called “Stasis”, the first new element since 2014. A 3rd trailer is now showing the story of Destiny since 2014, with the awakening of our zombie guardian.
18:14: Europe is coming as a new location, the ice planet. Here is the reveal trailer. A kind of “new villain” is currently being introduced in the stream.

In Fortnite: Battle Royale there are many landing spots that you can choose for the start of a match. One landing spot seems to be quite popular among some pros: the Grotto, newly added to the map with Season 2. But what makes “The Grotto” so special?
What is a landing spot? In Fortnite, you jump out of a bus at the start of a round and then fly to any location on the map to land. These locations are referred to as landing spots.
At a “good landing spot”, you can find plenty of weapons and ammunition needed for battle, but it is crucial which location you choose because not everywhere has the same amount of loot.
Is “The Grotto” the best landing spot in Season 2?
What makes the landing spot so special? The Grotto was introduced in line with the Season 2 theme, which revolves around agents. On the new map, hidden in a grotto, you can find a base of Team Shadow.
The Grotto is guarded by the mini-boss Brutus and his henchmen. While the NPCs can be a bit annoying as they shoot as soon as they see you, they often carry powerful weapons that are not found elsewhere on the map.
But it’s not just the henchmen who drop these weapons when eliminated. You can disguise yourself as a henchman at phone booths to open encrypted chests which require scanning for appearance. There you will find weapons of blue or purple rarity and even some shield potions to upgrade your shields.
However, there are 3 things that distinguish “The Grotto” and make it special:
Just for the mini-gun, it’s worth landing at “The Grotto”, but what sets it apart from other agent bases is the rotation capability.
There are indeed 2 ways to quickly reach a location without having to run much across the map. At The Grotto, there are fans that can propel you into the air and allow you to fly easily to another place.
Furthermore, there is a zipline nearby that takes you to Steamy Stacks. From Steamy Stacks, you can also fly further if you use the reactors.
Using the reactors at Steamy Stacks, you can go high into the air
Some Fortnite pros claim Grotto
It is these special features and advantages of “The Grotto” that lead some Fortnite pros to believe that it is the best landing spot in Fortnite tournaments.
For instance, Fortnite star Turner “Tfue” Tenney claimed this landing spot for the FNCS. When another duo landed there in the tournament, Tfue was accused of exploiting his power over the kids’ army to terrorize the “annoying” opponents so they would no longer land there.
But it doesn’t stop there, because Fortnite pros are already preparing for FNCS Trios that could take place. Tfue’s team encountered another trio and they wanted to prove who is the “King” of Grotto.
The Tfue team was able to clearly prove themselves because they had more experience at this landing spot.

Tfue encounters other teams and shows that he is the “King of The Grotto”
Fortnite pros like Tfue seem to view the landing spot “Grotto” as the best landing spot as it continually leads to discussions and disputes because everyone wants to claim it.
But the new locations are not just positive; they can quickly turn into a trap for players. Because it may happen that the vault found there is closed, and you hold the key card for opening it, but still find an opponent hiding there. Glitchers have found a way to cheat into vaults without having a key card.
