The MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) got its new chapter Greymoor last week. The guild “Do Damage Don’t Die“ completed the corresponding raid “Kynes Aegis“ on the first day at the highest level.
While in other MMORPGs like WoW raids are often attempted over several weeks, 4D achieved victory over the final boss on the first day of the addon.
How does it work with raids in ESO? In ESO, raids are designed for 12 players. They are called trials. There is a normal mode and a veteran mode. The bosses in veteran mode can become even more difficult with a hard mode.
Quick fight against the monsters
Which raid is it about? With the new chapter Greymoor, the trial “Kynes Aegis“ came to the MMORPG. There, you enter the village of the same name to stop the invasion of Skyrim. The once thought-to-be bastion is being attacked by vampires and other monstrosities.
This challenge was met by the US guild 4D at the highest difficulty level. They achieved their impressive victory in just under 22 minutes on the first day. In this video, you can see the run from the healer’s perspective and YouTube user stileanima:
Where does the time advantage in ESO come from? While in other MMORPGs like WoW, a boss can survive for several weeks, in ESO, at least at the easier difficulty levels, it often goes quickly.
This is partly due to One Tamriel with its level scaling and fixed maximum level of 50. So you don’t have to level up and reach the highest level first. If you have a character with good gear that you can play well, and a suitable group, you can dive into the new raid on the first day.
What does One Tamriel mean? One Tamriel is the name of a DLC from 2016. As part of this, all level limits in The Elder Scrolls Online were lifted. After the tutorial, all areas are open to you, and your level is scaled. You can do what you want, whenever you want. This also applies to the current addon.
The final boss in Kynes Aegis is Lord Falgravn
Additionally, there are often guides available right from the start for the trials. This is due to the possibilities of the test server, where players can fully test raids even before release.
ESO and WoW as two different games
Does ESO not have raid progress? Those who have ever struggled through a raid in World of Warcraft shortly after the release of an addon might feel bemused now.
However, it is not that different in The Elder Scrolls Online. Here, progress often happens behind the scenes. Due to the ability to play all bosses in all difficulty levels on the test server, most mechanics are discovered by release.
In WoW, players can also play on the test server, but not everything is revealed, so days and weeks can pass after the release of a new raid until the last boss is defeated.
Therefore, the progress phase in ESO only shifts, but is equally labor-intensive. The YouTube user stileanima comments on this in the video description:
We have been working on the progress in Kynes Aegis since the first week on the test server to achieve this goal. And now we will focus on getting faster and achieving a higher score with more aggressive setups and strategies.
It may look easy in the video, but there is a lot of effort behind it in ESO as well. Top players embark on their journey well prepared. Especially in Hard Mode, countless mechanics await your attention.
Escape from Tarkov recently took everything away from its players. However, they apparently did not mind this at all. On the contrary: Now the online shooter even has more players than it has ever recorded before, say the developers.
What in other games would likely have led to a massive wave of frustration, helps Escape from Tarkov to reach its best status ever. According to Battlestate Games’ COO, Nikita Buyanov, EFT now has over 200,000 players online at the same time (via reddit). He calls this number a record.
Escape from Tarkov is now played by over 200,000 players at the same time, according to the CEO.
Since Escape from Tarkov is not playable on Steam, it is difficult to verify these numbers and there is only the developers’ statement. However, if it is true, it is remarkable to gather such a player base without a distribution platform like Steam or Epic.
EFT – Now better for newcomers?
Why so many people are playing now: Due to the wipe EFT has become ideal for new players for a short time. The game is considered a hardcore shooter with a high entry barrier for new players, especially when veterans block their entry by constantly killing them.
Now that everyone more or less has to start from scratch, even newcomers had the chance to start relatively unharmed and possibly get captivated by the atmosphere. If you want to try it yourself, you can find 13 tips for starting in Escape from Tarkov here.
Good equipment must be earned again by everyone now.
Even some veterans were already looking forward to the restart in advance. For them, the bug fixes and changes that came with Patch 0.12 were also important. For example, there are now:
Improvements to quests available at earlier levels
Changes to the offerings of traders to make it easier at the start
higher chance to find rare items, such as Flash Drives
What has EFT improved further? The developers are currently working on new servers for the OCE region (Oceanic Zone, e.g., Australia). Players from there have often complained about how frustrating it is to play EFT due to their connection. They were even partly affected by anti-cheater measures for this reason.
One of the biggest streamers, Pestily, is from Australia. Pestily became famous through Escape from Tarkov and has since been helping players with guides and is one of the most well-known figures in the game. The region has thus also become quite important for EFT.
In addition, Battlestate Games is now working hard against cheaters, who apparently pose a problem for fair players. Over 3000 cheaters have already been banned and the fight continues, as the developers state. Further changes and innovations have also been announced, but so far there is no concrete information about them.

In a video from 11/25/2015 by FaZe Rain, the site CS:GO Wild is discussed. The video has over 1.2 million views.
Sensitive CS:GO betting site CS:GO Wild: “Only made $100,000”
Here are the sensitive details about the deals: Rain discusses some delicate matters during the video as he explains that he is not doing as well financially as it seems from the outside.
FaZe Rain was accused by journalist Richard Lewis in 2016 of running a “betting site” along with FaZe Banks, CS:GO Wild.
While members of the FaZe Clan promoted this site in YouTube videos, it was not disclosed. There were speculations that things were not going correctly.
FaZe Rain states now in the video that he “only made $100,000” with CS:GO Wild and not millions, as was alleged. He had so much trouble because of the site and received so many accusations for only “$100,000”. If he had made $10 or $20 million, it would have at least been worth the trouble. Thus, FaZe Rain feels wrongfully used as a scapegoat.
In the video, he also says that FaZe Clan has never given him a single dollar, he has only earned money through “brand deals”. Furthermore, the energy drink manufacturer G Fuel ripped him off for millions of dollars, only paying him “pennies” of what he should have actually earned.
About these types of “sponsorships” between influencers and companies is usually not openly discussed.
This is what happened next: Although the YouTube video was deleted, recordings of it are currently circulating on the internet.
FaZe Rain has stated that he was “kicked out of the FaZe house”. But that was 100% his own fault. His negative energy was too high.
The exact reasons why FaZe Rain was kicked out of the house and how it will proceed are unclear.
This is FaZe Banks. He was involved in a CS:GO betting site, as he explained recently.
In May 2020, Richard “FaZe Banks” Bengston (28) explained that he actually operated a profitable gambling site for CS:GO a few years ago.
The eSports organization FaZe Clan has kicked co-owner Nordan “FaZe Rain” Shat out of the FaZe house. This happened after a video in which the YouTuber spoke for over 7 minutes about his personal state, his struggles, and business matters. He also touched on a betting site for CS:GO.
This is FaZe Rain: The Canadian Nordan “FaZe Rain” Shat (24) has 5.4 million subscribers on YouTube and has been a well-known player of Call of Duty for many years.
It has been known for some time that Rain suffers from mental health issues. He has openly spoken about being in therapy. (via dexerto)
Video appears to show YouTuber having a breakdown
This is the video: FaZe Rain uploaded a 7-minute video on YouTube, which he later deleted. The video gives the impression that he is having a nervous breakdown or experiencing another acute phase of a mental disorder. He appears manic and uncontrollable.
In the video, he talks about his personal problems, life as a YouTuber, and the difficulties associated with it. He states that there are countless people speculating about him without knowing him. They say he is rich. However, this is not the case at all. People should stop talking about him in this way. Social media drives him crazy.
He also discusses his youth, his loneliness, and other private problems. He says that he has no one to talk to, which is why he sometimes tweets crazy things.

The well-known professional player Scump has given a glimpse of his MP5 setup that he uses in competitive matches of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. We will show you the attachments he uses and explain who the SMG is best suited for.
Who is Scump anyway? Seth “Scump” Abner is a long-time “Call of Duty” veteran and currently a professional player for the Chicago Huntsmen in the CoD League.
He is not only considered a strong player but can also shine as an expert, possessing deep and detailed knowledge of many aspects related to weapons and equipment in CoD: Modern Warfare.
After his team recently secured a victory in the league, the pro has now showcased a setup for the popular submachine gun MP5 that he is currently using. In this configuration, he uses the MP in the league and training matches, among others.
We will show you here how exactly Scump has set up his MP5 so that you can try it out in multiplayer with the same setup. Who knows, perhaps you will find a new favorite weapon or you can optimize some attachments for your MP5 afterward. This is one of the strongest setups for this weapon (for regular multiplayer).
Scump uses the following attachments for his MP5: In his setup, Scump maximizes the 5 possible attachments for the weapon, focusing mainly on damage, mobility, and ADS speed.
Scump swears by the following 5 attachments:
Stock: FTAC collapsible for higher movement speed and faster ADS speed (the time it takes to aim down sights, i.e., ADS speed)
Perk: Sleight of Hand for faster reloading
Grip: Stippled Grip Tape for even faster aim down sights speed and faster readiness after sprinting
Ammunition: 10mm 30 round auto magazine for more range and higher damage
Underbarrel: Operator Foregrip for better recoil control (or Commando Foregrip for higher aiming stability and better recoil stabilization)
The MP5
Who is this configuration of the MP5 suitable for? The weapon is essentially built for the run & gun playstyle – that is, fast movement and combat at relatively short distances or in close quarters.
What about perks for the loadout? Scump has not revealed those. However, since his MP5 setup is geared towards run & gun, the following perks are recommended:
By the way, this is an individual setup of a professional. This does not automatically mean that everyone will handle this configuration well. It is also possible that you perform better with other attachments on this weapon. If you want to experiment with Scump’s setup and adapt it better to yourself – here are 5 attachments that we recommend in CoD Modern Warfare for every weapon.

The Community Day in Pokémon GO focuses on Caterpie in June. The exclusive move for Beedrill is Drill Run. We tell you what the move can do.
This is the Community Day: You could vote on which Pokémon appears in July during the Community Day. The vote went to Caterpie and accordingly, the evolution Beedrill learns the exclusive attack Drill Run.
This is a charging move of the Ground type and gives Beedrill more variability in battle. Whether you can dominate battles with it, find out here.
Beedrill with Drill Run – What the exclusive move can do
What does it bring in Raids? Beedrill is not a strong Pokémon for Raids. It simply has too low CP and its other stats are not convincing here either.
Even with Drill Run, nothing changes in that regard. So, if anyone thought that Beedrill would become one of the best attackers in the game, they will be disappointed.
Caterpie won the vote for the Community Day in June – That’s why Beedrill is learning Drill Run
How strong will it be in PvP? For the PvP mode, Beedrill with Drill Run, however, becomes significantly more interesting. This applies only to the Great League, as Beedrill can reach a maximum of 1846 CP, making it unsuitable for the other leagues.
With the move combination Poison Jab, Drill Run, and Mud Bomb, Beedrill is effective against two popular Pokémon in the Great League: Registeel and Azumarill. If you play it smart, you can take down both monsters with Beedrill.
In general, it can be used quite well against some monsters, and the typing of Poison and Ground is indeed interesting.
However, one must consider that Beedrill can be easily defeated. If your opponent plays intelligently, Beedrill can be knocked out quickly. So, you should be well-versed with effectiveness if you include Beedrill in your team.
Should you get the move? If you are not frequently in the PvP mode, you won’t miss much with the move. Beedrill with Drill Run is only important in PvP, and if you enjoy playing there, you should definitely get the move.
How can Beedrill learn the move? This is only possible on the Community Day. There you must evolve Kakuna within the Community Day hours or up to 2 hours later. The move cannot be learned via TM.
Exciting days are ahead in Destiny 2. For MeinMMO author Philipp Hansen, this is largely due to the cutscenes and the story, which excite him for the new season.
What am I looking forward to? In just over a week, Destiny 2 will open a new chapter with Season 11. This brings us a big step closer to the hopeful autumn expansion. We still know very little about the setting, the new content, or the story that awaits us.
But I already know that I will be blown away by several cutscenes within a few days. Because the finale of the current season of the Worthy promises to be truly spectacular. And on June 9, the still-untitled successor begins. As it should be, both will be celebrated with a cool clip.
Cool action in Destiny 2 instead of boring story fragments outside the game
There are two reasons why I am such a fan of cutscenes. The first is obvious, and the second reason requires a closer look (pun intended).
That’s why I enjoy watching the videos: There is hardly any doubt in the community that Bungie knows how to present themselves and Destiny. No matter what the team in Seattle squeezes into a video format, the visuals are phenomenal every time.
This is what the older streams with Deej as the host looked like
They skillfully play with emotions, the action is meticulously choreographed, and everything is polished to perfection. Even if the informational content of a clip or ViDoc is not really high at times, it just makes you want more.
Example of a perfectly staged cutscene: Let’s look at the opening sequence from Season 10 as an example. First, we have an epic musical summary of the important events. Then it goes all out:
Ana jumps agilely around and takes down enemies with her blade – just as the Hunter is always described in-game.
Zavala, on the other hand, is a rock in the surf, a Titan – he does not dodge, he coldly blocks a sniper shot and makes quick work of it.
The video conveys exactly the feeling that plays in my head when I make my way through the Destiny universe.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HPeFsiO4AI
Watch the opening cinematic of Season 10 here
That’s why cutscenes are so important: The cutscenes not only offer great visuals but are also essential for the story. Not long ago, too much story was told outside of Destiny 2. It is particularly annoying when I have to track the season transition or a narrative thread on Bungie’s website in a blog post.
Don’t get me wrong; I think this search can also be cool or allow interested parties to dive deep into the subject. But the direct, bombastic way of storytelling has its own charm.
Currently, Destiny 2 also relies on successful storytelling through the environments:
Example of good storytelling with videos: As an example, I chose Season 9, as I believe it was the turning point in storytelling – thanks to cutscenes. While the season starts off confused and the backgrounds had to be painstakingly searched for externally, this soon changed: Not only did “the greatest Titan that ever lived” make a remarkable appearance in a stunning clip foot in our world, but the season finale was also successful:
The community’s efforts were cinematically appreciated, as the reconstruction of the Lighthouse was depicted with a (previously so rare) cutscene. Our Guardian personally ignited the long-extinguished beacon.
Even better, however, was the story connection to Season 10: In a short but promising video, Osiris confronted the machine god Rasputin. He urges him to take a stand in the fight. The tone for the next chapter was set, and currently, the full weight of this disastrous encounter is unfolding. This is how a transition should look to create anticipation for more.

Check out the meeting between Osiris and Rasputin here
I expect a lot from next week
That’s why I am full of anticipation: In the TWaB a few days ago, Bungie was very cryptic and gave hardly any concrete information about the new season, even though it starts in just over a week. But shortly after, a mysterious message sparked excitement.
I hope for a grand finale of the current season; after all, Rasputin’s weapons are sharp. So come on, you threatening omnipotence! And immediately afterwards, the story transition into the yet-unknown season should follow. Is Bungie holding back details because we will finally meet our arch-enemy (whom we’ve been waiting for for 6 years)?
This will happen in the next few days. All eyes are on tomorrow’s weekly reset. On June 9, I hope to be greeted by a fantastic opening video that sets sail towards the autumn expansion story-wise. Even though there are currently issues in Destiny 2 and not all recent decisions have been well received, I know the next days will impress me.
The CEO of publisher Take-Two (GTA 5, Red Dead Redemption 2) has commented on Google Stadia. The launch was slow and there were too many promises about what the technology could deliver. This disappointed buyers’ trust. Nevertheless, Strauss Zelnick believes that streaming has a future.
Who is speaking? It is the CEO of Take-Two, Harry Strauss Zelnick (62). Take-Two is one of the major US publishers. Their game offerings include titles like GTA 5, Red Dead Redemption 2, Civilization 6, the Borderlands series, and NBA 2k.
Zelnick is known for addressing sensitive topics. In 2018, he made clear statements about the Chinese gaming market and how unfair it is from the perspective of US companies, as they are virtually forced to enter into partnerships with local companies. Normally, no one talks about that.
As GameSpot knows, Zelnick was still optimistic about streaming in October 2019 and was rather critical of game passes and subscription models like the Xbox Game Pass, which have since experienced a boom (via GameSpot).
Google Stadia: Too much promised, customers rather disappointed
This is what Zelnick says about Google Stadia: Zelnick spoke at a conference at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York. There he said:
The streaming technology has arrived. The launch of Google Stadia was slow. I think there were too many promises about what the technology could deliver, and this led to some disappointment among customers.
Strauss Zelnick
Although Zelnick believes that streaming technology can work in the future, he apparently sees a misjudgment of the market with Google Stadia.
The belief that streaming will change everything was based on the perspective that there are a lot of people who have a real interest in interactive entertainment, who really wanted to pay for it, but did not want a console. I am not sure that this has really come to pass.
Strauss Zelnick
Despite his assessment, Take-Two will not withdraw support from Google Stadia.
What’s behind it: In 2019, there were two major trends in gaming:
Streaming – players do not need to buy a console and can play everything on any device, but customers still have to acquire the games individually
Subscription services – you pay a fixed amount (a flat rate) and have access to a large number of titles, which are supplemented with current games – console and accessories still need to be purchased
So far, it clearly seems that subscription services are in the lead. Looking at the discussion about PS5 vs. Xbox Series X, hardly anyone mentions waiting to see if a streaming offer can prevail.
Zelnick describes the problem: The target audience for streaming would be people who want to spend money on games but do not want a console. If this target audience exists, it seems to need to be activated.
A card combo in Hearthstone that defeats the opponent before they even get a turn? It exists – but it’s incredibly difficult to achieve.
In Hearthstone, there are many funny combinations that can lead to players being defeated within a turn, especially in the “wild” game mode. Such “OTK combos” (One-Turn-Kill) have been part of the game for ages and are usually quite difficult to execute. However, one player has found a way to decide a game right in the very first round – before the opponent has even had a single turn.
What kind of combo is this? The combo only works in the “wild” game mode and requires the perfect cards in the starting hand – for both the opponent and oneself. The Priest must have two Mind Vision and two “Radiant Elementals” in hand. One of these cards can be drawn at the start of their turn. Then everything needs to go exactly as follows:
Mind Vision (1) copies Summon Elemental from the Mage’s hand.
The Priest plays Summon Elemental and then a Radiant Elemental.
Then comes Mind Vision (2), whose costs are reduced by the Radiant Elemental. This grants a Conjuration.
Conjuration is cast and creates a lot of Mage spells.
Summon Elemental is cast, allowing for the second “Radiant Elemental” to be played.
Glyph of the Ancients is cast, creating “Mind Games”.
“Mind Games” summons a Flamecaller.
Another Glyph of the Ancients is cast, creating “Mind Games” again.
Mind Games summons another Flamecaller.
After that, the Priest unleashes the rest of the numerous spells that cost 0 mana. With each spell, the Flamecallers deal 2 damage to random enemies, which can only hit the opposing hero.
The end result is a dead Mage who had absolutely no chance to defend themselves – because they were never given a turn.
How likely is this combo? Almost impossible. In normal gameplay, you will probably never see it. The whole setup is artificial, and the Priest is literally relying on the Mage to have the necessary cards in their starting hand. However, it is highly unlikely for this situation to occur and for Mind Vision to also copy the right cards at the same time. It is also very unrealistic for Conjuration to create enough spells that can be used.
Death in Round 1 – it is possible!
So it remains a staged scene that still impressively shows what could at least theoretically be possible if all the stars align (and Easter falls on Christmas).
Have you ever seen such a lucky combo? Do you know another way to win on turn 1?

A fan has recreated the Stranglethorn Vale from World of Warcraft in Unreal Engine 4. One of the best projects to date.
From time to time, some fans have recreated areas from World of Warcraft in Unreal Engine 4. However, the project by YouTuber Darek Zahálka is likely to top it all. His rendition of Stranglethorn Vale from World of Warcraft is simply breathtaking.
What is there to see? The video is accompanied by tranquil sounds (not the original WoW music) and shows part of Stranglethorn Vale. Those who have quested there before will immediately recognize the ruins, the characteristic rope bridge, and the distant ruins. With the stunning lighting and detailed surroundings, the jungle feels almost alive.

If you’re letting your vacation plans fall through this year due to the current situation, you can at least take a few minutes of relaxation with this video tour. The risk of being attacked by wild animals is not too great.
However, it must be said that the video only shows a very small portion of Stranglethorn Vale. The entire area was probably not recreated. The details in the segment shown are extremely meticulous, and there are so many little things that one can probably overlook this fact.
Even more “old areas in beautiful graphics” can be found here for you:
The screenshot and the project – very detailed. Image source: reddit.com/r/wow
Comparison photos show the details: In the Reddit post about this video, the creator also published a few “Work in Progress” images. Here you can see what the raw version looked like and what screenshots he used for inspiration and reference. This makes the end result even more impressive.
Would you like to see the entire World of Warcraft in modern graphics? Or should Blizzard stick to the comic graphic style at all costs?

Rainbow Six Siege is one of the most popular shooters for PS4, PC, and Xbox One, but it can be quite frustrating for beginners. MeinMMO has put together 5 tips to make getting started easier for you.
What are these things? In our list, we have tried to answer both general questions and address things specific to Rainbow Six. The tips are primarily aimed at new players who are just starting out or have recently begun.
We particularly try to address the questions that beginners in Rainbow Six often ask and provide a satisfactory answer to them.
However, advanced players might also be able to learn a thing or two here. If you have been playing for several hours but feel like you are not making progress, check out our list.
Where do these tips come from? A large part of the tips has been compiled by me (Benedict Grothaus) as a Rainbow expert for MeinMMO. I have played several dozen hours myself and have watched many plays of the pros.
During this process, I thought about what problems I had when I started and asked acquaintances from my team where they had difficulties. The result is a fairly broad portfolio of smaller things that can often be resolved with a single tip.
Additionally, tips and guides from other colleagues, such as from GameStar and directly from Ubisoft, have also contributed to this list.
1. Learning maps is the “A and O”
Why should I learn maps? Rainbow Six Siege currently has over 20 different maps. While not all maps are in the playable rotation for each season, that’s still quite a lot.
The special thing about the maps of Rainbow Six is that you have a strong vertical component. Each map has multiple levels above and below. Many walls and even several floors/ceilings are destructible.
This creates a new dynamic in each round: Where is the opponent? How can I reach them? Where do I need to be cautious? To answer these questions and avoid being surprised, you should know quite well where opportunities are available on which map. With enough experience, such fast rounds through risky rush tactics are possible for you:
Moreover, map knowledge is critically important for communication. If you can quickly inform your teammates with a precise call about where something is happening, victory becomes much closer.
How do I learn maps? The only way to really know every map is probably to play frequently and observe your teammates closely. When you think about why certain walls are reinforced or destroyed while playing, it helps you understand the map better.
If you are already somewhat familiar with the maps but want to continue learning, eSports is a great option. You can watch pros play on the maps. Currently, the GSA League is active in German, where you can follow four exciting matches every Thursday.

2. Key bindings, sound, and co. – The right settings
Why are options important? In shooters in general, you should ensure that the feel of the game for weapons and aiming feels natural. Specifically in Rainbow Six, you want the first shots to hit because they can end the fight in fractions of a second.
This is why it is important that your settings are adjusted accordingly. You need the right sound settings to quickly locate opponents, as well as the proper key bindings to react quickly.
However, these settings are of no use if your aim is hindered by movements with the mouse or analog stick being too fast or too slow, so you should also keep an eye on sensitivity.
How do I set the options correctly? A general statement cannot be made here. It always depends on your system, your devices, and even your environment. However, you should generally pay attention to the following:
assign the quick melee action to an easily reachable key (for example, on the mouse for PC)
important actions (shoot, crouch, run, reload …) should be easily accessible – less important ones (cameras, slower gadgets) can be assigned “further away” from your fingers
footsteps and sound effects such as movements and gadget uses should always be clearly audible
unimportant sounds should be dampened
the sensitivity of your aiming (mouse or analog sticks) should match your gaming feeling – the settings of the pros should serve as guidelines, not as fixed requirements
The “Night Mode” helps you hear footsteps.
While playing, you will likely find settings that suit you better or worse. Experiment a bit; it may take a while to find the perfect options.
3. What are the best attachments? Properly adjust weapons
Why is this important: The weapons in Rainbow Six Siege come without attachments by default, and when you play an operator for the first time, you start with a “naked” weapon. However, the attachments are what really make the weapons strong and useful.
You do not need to unlock attachments; you have immediate access to each attachment and can simply use it during weapon customization. This can be done either in the operator screen in the main menu or even within a round itself when adjusting your equipment.
The attachments enhance the weapons with better aiming options, better recoil control, and other advantages. This ensures that the weapon is better suited to your playing style and the current situation in which you want to use it.
How do I properly adjust weapons? Most weapons share several attachments. Many, like the ACOG sight, are not available for all weapons. In general, you should adjust each weapon to your play style, but some fundamentally strong attachments are:
Barrel: Flash Hider
Sight: ACOG for longer distances (Holographic if ACOG is not available), Reflex for shorter
Grip: Vertical Grip
Here is an example of an upgraded UMP45 from Pulse.
What about suppressors? Players frequently ask about suppressors, and they occupy a special position. Suppressors hide the direction from which your shots come as well as the bullet traces.
You become harder to detect but deal less damage, which means it takes longer for a kill. The attachment is worth considering if it fits your playing style and for pistols to eliminate gadgets silently. However, you should be aware that you might miss potential kills as a trade-off.
4. Which operator suits me, which is the best?
These are the best operators: Ubisoft regularly publishes designer notes on the Rainbow Six blog, showing the win and pick rates of all operators. These are displayed in a graph showing how strong the various operators are:
The statistics of the attackers, as of April 2020. Image source: Ubisoft.
The statistics of the defenders, as of April 2020. Image source: Ubisoft.
The further to the right an operator stands, the more popular he is. The further up he stands, the stronger he is. Therefore, you will likely find the strongest operators at the top right of the graphs. However, how strong an operator really is largely depends on the combination in which they are played.
Operators in Rainbow Six all have unique abilities. In many situations, it is useful to have one of the so-called “Hard Breachers” on your team: Hibana, Thermite, Maverick, or the newly added Ace from Y5S2. Only they can breach reinforced walls.
Which one should I buy? The first operators you buy should be those that suit you. Their roles are usually quite clear, and their equipment is typically tailored accordingly. A small selection of recommendations:
Recon attackers: IQ and Thatcher
Hard Breachers: Hibana and Thermite
Attackers who control the enemy: Nomad and Zofia
Recon defenders: Valkyrie and Mozzie
Support roamers: Jäger and Bandit
Traps and area control: Mira and Lesion
If you want more inspiration regarding the operators, eSports as well as the tutorial videos from Ubisoft are always good resources. There, you can see the various characters in action and get a better idea of who they are suited for.
Improvisation is important for all shooters, but it plays a particularly significant role in Rainbow Six. You must be ready to deviate from your original plan to pursue a better one at any moment.
This is more crucial in Rainbow because situations can change or turn quickly. Destroyable walls and ceilings can create new paths and cover can be destroyed. Certain gadgets can render planned paths unusable. Even if you lose for several rounds, huge comebacks can happen if you play correctly.
Therefore, you should always communicate with your team about how you want to proceed and respond to your opponents if you want to win. It will take some time and practice, but you should at least be willing to change your approach during a round, try new things, and learn from mistakes.
Tip: Practice in situations
Rainbow Six Siege offers you scenarios/ situations to practice specific situations in the game against NPC opponents. This is useful for both beginners and advanced players who have issues with certain situations.
Situations bring you closer to the basics.
Especially as a beginner, you can use this to familiarize yourself better with the game and learn the first steps. Even for warming up or refreshing your knowledge, the situations are ideal.
Additionally, there are numerous tutorials as well as a practice mode against NPC opponents, where you can test your skills.
Rainbow Six Siege places a lot of importance on realism and is both a tactical shooter that is quicker with kills and slower in gameplay. This realism is something that even the shooter pro shroud cannot always cope with and something you need to embrace if you want to play.

The developers of Final Fantasy XIV enjoy introducing aspects into the game only to then send them into obscurity for years. Here are 3 of them.
A prime example of this is the story surrounding the 24-man raid Crystal Tower, which suddenly became the center of attention with the expansion Shadowbringers. A whole range of characters were only introduced and then seemingly forgotten.
However, I have no doubt that all the old and forgotten aspects of the story will reappear sooner or later. Here are three possible candidates for that.
Attention: This contains major spoilers regarding the stories of Final Fantasy XIV and Final Fantasy XII.
The Heart of Sabik
Even though it’s unlikely that anyone has actually forgotten the Heart of Sabik, it still tops this list. It is one of those things that the community has regarded as plot holes for years.
What is the Heart of Sabik? The Heart was mentioned for the first and only time during the battle against Ultima at the end of 2.0, as it served as the energy source for the weapon. It allowed the weapon to absorb the energy from primals and contained the powerful magic of Ultima.
The Heart is an ancient artifact whose origin dates back even before the formation of the Allagan Empire. Its power, according to Lahabrea’s unbearable rambling in the Praetorium, was “not even remotely understood by the Allagans.”
The conversation that we can no longer hear: Lahabrea tells Gaius about the true power of Ultima.
Interestingly, Lahabrea refers to the Heart of Sabik as the “culminated power of darkness.” Based on this, we could assume that the Heart should have a direct connection to Zodiark. Some fan theories even suggest that it could be a shard of Zodiark.
After the events in the Praetorium, the Heart of Sabik disappears into obscurity for a whopping 4 years. Aside from being reminded of it during every MSQ roulette, it didn’t appear in the story otherwise.
Fun Fact: In real life, Sabik is a star in the constellation Ophiuchus. The name originated from Arabic and means “preceding.” Ophiuchus was the constellation that represents the darkness esper Zodiark in FFXII.
Why might it become important again? It probably won’t come as a great surprise if the Heart plays a significant role in upcoming patches. After all, the “Sorrow of Werlyt” questline revolves around the weapons built on the model of Ultima.
Gaius says in one of the cutscenes from 5.2 that Ruby Weapon and the entire weapon program have stemmed from him and he now wants to ensure it is ended once and for all.
The Heart itself is explicitly mentioned only in the lyrics of the themesong of Ruby Weapon. And even though it would have a certain humorous value if the choir in the song actually sang

The developers of Escape from Tarkov are now taking action against cheaters. They have banned 3000 cheaters. However, many players are not satisfied with this.
What does it currently look like in Escape from Tarkov? The shooter from the Russian developer Battlestate Games recently performed a major character wipe. In this process, every player lost their collected equipment and was reset to zero.
This attracted many cheaters who quickly leveled up. However, these very cheaters are now the target. The developers announced on Twitter that they have banned a total of 3000 cheaters.
This is being said about the action: The news about the bans is being widely discussed. Many players say that the cheaters simply create new accounts, or that 3000 bans are far from sufficient.
On Twitter JMaC says: “They just create new accounts again, and it brings you additional revenue, but yes, keep patting yourselves on the back.”
On reddit there are similar statements. tibidus states: “Wow, that’s roughly twice my city. What percentage do 3000 cheaters represent?”
Are all bans justified? On Twitter, a user complains that they were banned even though they hadn’t cheated. On the contrary, they haven’t logged in for weeks and don’t even know how to cheat in Escape from Tarkov.

What do the developers say about the ban wave? Battlestate Games wants to continue banning diligently. They now plan to make the ban waves public and inform players when they have banned more cheaters.
It remains to be seen if the players will then feel more reassured. The 3000 banned cheaters are definitely not enough to calm the fans’ emotions.
Anyone who is new to Escape from Tarkov or wants to start should check out our 8 tips for beginners. There you will learn how to get into the game better from the start.

The well-known streamer Tyler “Ninja” Blevins has launched his own tournament series for Fortnite on the streaming platform Mixer. A total of $480,000 in prize money will be distributed. However, one of the winners, Anthony “ZexRow” Colandro, was banned for life from all of Ninja’s tournaments after the victory. Because for a brief moment, he thought he was Tfue.
This is the tournament series: This is a 6-week tournament series “Ninja Battles.” There are weekly tournaments with prizes of $80,000 each, taking place on Thursday evenings our time.
The first tournament took place on May 28. It was played in trio mode. A total of 60 players participated by invitation, including many well-known names from the Fortnite esports scene:
TSM ZexRow – Anthony Colando, a 19-year-old top player who was once banned from Twitch for drinking too many energy drinks. He has 250,000 followers on Twitch.
Young Calculator – Jonathan Weber, an American. He has 38,000 followers on Twitch.
TSM Mackwood – Mack Aesoph, also an American, who maintains about 96,000 followers on Twitch.
All of them are talented esports players, but as content creators, they are in the second tier. Two of them have a professional contract with TSM, a top team, and hope to someday reach the top and make a big breakthrough.
Since there will be no World Championship in Fortnite this year, tournaments like Ninja’s provide an ideal stage to showcase themselves and perhaps recommend for greater things.
TSM ZexRow unleashes his inner Tfue
This is how TSM ZexRow messed it up: The 19-year-old Anthony “ZexRow” Colandro managed to destroy in a short interview after the tournament everything he had built up with his game before. After the victory, he was interviewed by the two commentators of Ninja’s tournament. ZexRow said:
So everyone who didn’t make it into the top 10 can lick my dick. Those are fucking shitters. I don’t even know what bullshit they are talking. They are actually dog shit and brain dead. That’s all I have to say.
TSM ZexRow in an interview
The two casters quickly shut that down. One of them thanked TSM ZexRow for being there.
However, some of the often young, strong esports players like TSM ZexRow maintain a completely different demeanor and a poor attitude. Everyone knows that. There have been Twitch bans repeatedly. But it rarely became as evident as here.
He was likely the inspiration here: Twitch star Tfue is known for his foul language and his great Fortnite skills.
The language of TSM ZexRow in the interview is actually the kind that the Turner “Tfue” Tenney is known for. The biggest streamer on Twitch, also a Fortnite ace, often verbally explodes; “Dogshit” is one of his favorite words, and he is also known for this “trash talk,” where opponents are mocked and insulted.
Just because Tfue gets away with it doesn’t mean that one can present oneself like TSM ZexRow has now learned.
Another TSM player, EmadGG (19), who streamed the interview live on Twitch, said: “TSM ZexRow is actually an idiot.” You can hear that sentence in the clip embedded above.
Ninja immediately bans the winner from all further tournaments
This is how it continued: ZexRow tweeted afterward: “Oh, I’m sorry. I forgot that parents are watching.”
Ninja acted quickly: “Congratulations on your first and last placement in a Ninja tournament.” This means that ZexRow will never participate in any of his tournaments again.

Ninja bans TSM ZexRow from all further Ninja Battles.
His teammates immediately replaced ZexRow and will now continue with a new teammate in Ninja’s tournament.
TSM MackWood had already wondered while ZexRow was speaking, what the hell was going on.
This is what ZexRow says: He claims he said “very tasteless things.” That would have been bad in his own stream, but even worse in Ninja’s broadcast. He apologizes to everyone he disappointed. He did not live up to the “professional standard.”
Afterward, he tweeted: Many would now demand that TSM kicks him out; he will now ask if he can leave. He is a PR nightmare.

This is what it’s about: Ninja has been trying for years to appear “kid-friendly,” refraining from any bad words. The pro teams also want to be as “brandsafe” as possible, providing companies with a good environment for advertising. FaZe recently mandated all its pros to undergo sensitivity training.
However, some of the often young, strong esports players like TSM ZexRow maintain a completely different demeanor and a poor attitude. Everyone knows that. There have been Twitch bans repeatedly. But it rarely became as evident as here.

Pokémon GO made some changes to the gameplay to make playing easier during Corona. Our editor Patrick Freese likes these changes so much that he prefers to keep them.
What’s going on in Pokémon GO? In times of Corona, the mobile game Pokémon GO, which is meant to encourage players to go outside, had to quite a bit of a makeover.
In many areas, developers implemented this strongly. I especially feel this in the village. Here, where PokéStops and Gyms are scarce, these changes are noticeable and I’ve quickly gotten used to them.
Suddenly, I’m filled with a whole new joy of gaming and my motivation climbs.
Many of these features I don’t want to miss anymore. I hope they stay in the game. Even when the Corona measures are relaxed. Just recently, the in-game bonuses were extended for the month of June.
Regular bundles for only one PokéCoin with helpful items like incense or balls
Gifts are more frequent from Stops
Eggs now require only half the distance to hatch
Incense lasts one hour instead of 30 minutes
Incense attracts Pokémon more frequently
More space for gifts in the inventory
Buddy Pokémon frequently bring gifts
Raids work remotely with remote raid passes
The Battle League skips the kilometer requirement
There are some changes that I especially like.
Buddies bring me gifts and I have space for them
What’s happening? In the inventory, Pokémon GO players normally have only 10 slots for gifts. This has been increased to 20. Additionally, Buddy Pokémon now regularly come out from PokéStops to bring gifts.
I then send these gifts to friends, raise my friendship level with them, and receive gifts back as thanks. How to find friends in Pokémon GO, you can see here.
Why is this so good? During the time when you shouldn’t go out much, it’s helpful that buddy Pokémon visit the stops. This fills up the inventory without me having to visit many PokéStops myself. This is especially helpful during Corona, but also in the village where there are only a few stops.
In my immediate area, there is exactly one stop that I can reach quickly. To receive a gift there, I have to spin the stop, wait for the 5-minute cooldown, then spin again, and keep doing so.
This is what it looks like when my buddy in Pokémon GO brings me a bunch of gifts.
What’s happening? Incense now attracts Pokémon more frequently and lasts twice as long as normal. Trainers use this item to lure additional Pokémon to themselves, in addition to the wild spawns.
Why is this so good? In my village, the Pokémon spawns were poor. If I wasn’t currently at a PokéStop, not much happened in the wild.
With the help of incense, at least a few more spawns came. But now, after the changes, when I light incense, a much higher number of Pokémon are expected to be attracted.
Together with event bonuses, like triple experience points for catching Pokémon during the Community Day with Samurzel or more stardust or candy for catching Pokémon, this incense is now actually quite effective.
Right here in the village, where the spawns, away from stops, are really low, this is a big help.
More gifts to open and more balls to get
What’s happening? Normally, you can open 20 gifts per day. This limit has now been raised to 30. Additionally, the developers at Niantic ensured that more Poké Balls come from these gifts.
Why is this so good? With the many new Pokémon spawns combined with the enhanced incense, I now have a greater focus on catching Pokémon. The depletion of balls to catch Pokémon is therefore noticeable.
Especially when I play with the GO Plus during events, the supply of Poké Balls is quickly used up.
If I then get supplied with Poké Balls from the gifts of my friends – and that’s a lot of balls with 30 gifts – I can comfortably keep playing without having to visit PokéStops to get more.
In my opinion, the changes from the Corona period can gladly be kept. This sentiment is also often echoed by many trainers in the Pokémon community of MeinMMO.
Which changes do you particularly like and would you like to keep them forever? Or do you think Pokémon GO is becoming too convenient because of this?
Now I am already looking forward to the Community Day in June. Because in the voting, Hornliu won and will come into the spotlight during that time. I won’t say no to Shiny-Bibor!

If 29 fire mages act up in World of Warcraft, no boss lasts long. Even current heroic raid bosses melt away in just a few seconds.
By the end of an expansion, the usual rules in World of Warcraft dissolve. While normally well-mixed groups of all classes are needed, it tends to get a bit more thematic. This has now been proven by a raid group that faced the bosses of the current raid Ny’alotha. Their composition: 29 fire mages and one demon hunter as tank. The success speaks for itself.
How did they manage that? Fire mages with good gear are currently considered the DPS that are leading in damage. Additionally, fire mages have a very solid “burst phase” where they land critical hits consistently and thus achieve enormous damage peaks. The group around the streamer Scripe (from the professional guild Method) took advantage of this.
Drest’agath melts away before your eyes: The fight against the boss Drest’agath is particularly impressive. Normally, this is a multi-minute fight where numerous additional enemies must be defeated before the actual boss even takes damage. However, when 29 fire mages unleash their massive, burning fireballs, the mechanics of a boss fight become completely irrelevant. How quickly Drest’agath melts under the continuous fire is shown in this clip:

What else did the group accomplish? The team also completed the entire raid and killed all bosses in Ny’alotha. Most other fights did take a bit longer since there were some mechanics to consider, but basically, the strategy worked again and again. A rain of enormous fireballs and fire spells can indeed make a significant impact.
Do you think it’s cool when such absurd strategies work at the end of an expansion? Or does that somehow ruin the appeal of WoW?

In Pokémon GO two major events are waiting for you in June. The developers have already revealed the dates and names, but not the content. We will tell you what could happen there.
These are the events: In June a lot is happening in Pokémon GO and Niantic has given the first insights into upcoming events. They announced the time frame and the names of the events:
Solstice Event: From June 19 at 8:00 AM local time to June 24 at 10:00 PM local time.
Bug Catching Contest: From June 26 at 8:00 AM local time to July 1 at 10:00 PM local time.
The bonuses from the events are not yet known. However, both events took place last year, so one can already gather the approximate bonuses.
It might be quite possible that we can find Sonnfel in Germany again during this event. This is particularly interesting as Sonnfel can already be shiny. Here we can secure a shiny that is very rare in Europe.
Otherwise, comparable events have always had different bonuses. So it can’t be said clearly what to expect during this period. However, a hint could be the Spotlight Hour during the event. Because on June 23 there will be a whole hour of Piepi everywhere.
Piepi is directly connected to the moon and in the anime, Piepi always appeared when the moon was shining brightly. So it might be likely that Piepi will also be part of the event.
Additionally, for the first time, the incense lasted a whole hour and attracted more Pokémon. Currently, the incense is just as strong thanks to the COVID-19 adjustments. So it might be possible that Niantic has come up with a different bonus here.
There are enough bug Pokémon that can be shiny. For example, Scyther, Pinsir, or Caterpie. But a new shiny is conceivable. A strong candidate for this is Zirpurze. After all, it has a special spotlight hour during this period and without the shiny form, this event would be pretty useless since Zirpurze is not useful otherwise.
Another interesting Pokémon for this event is Nincada. This monster is also of the bug type and can be shiny. It fits well into the event and you might have the chance to get one of the rarest shinies in the game.

Season 4 of Call of Duty: Warzone is coming, and a hilarious video now shows how Captain Price gets some big Twitch streamers hyped for the launch while completely roasting them: a successful marketing stunt by Activision Blizzard.
This is the situation: To drum up excitement for Season 4, which also features Captain Price, Infinity Ward has hired British actor Barry Sloane (39). He plays Captain Price in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
Infinity Ward has recorded videos sent to several of the largest Twitch streamers for Call of Duty, in which Price recruits players for a secret mission. The streamers didn’t come off so well, and hundreds of thousands of viewers are laughing about the action.
Nadeshot reminded of embarrassing moments
This video was for Nadeshot: The former CoD pro Matthew “Nadeshot” Haag is now the head of his own esports organization and one of the biggest streamers on Twitch—especially due to his Warzone streams.

In the clip, Captain Price first says that they have another mission in Verdansk ahead of them. It starts on June 3, which presumably refers to the launch of Season 4.
After that, Captain Price can’t resist throwing shade at Nadeshot. He refers to an incident where the streamer used the wrong weapon in a CoD tournament and then died unnecessarily. Price says: “We might have a spot for you on the team. Just don’t pull anything crazy like you did in 2015. HBR, buddy? Are you serious? We might need a few more to support you in those decisions.”
The clip that Price is referring to is linked here for you:

In this clip, Price is also not very friendly. He states that every team needs a wildcard winner, and TimTheTatman would be the fit for that.
What’s particularly funny is that it seems Price knows the streamer’s movements very well. He first comments that he should stop reading the chat, and TimTheTatman does exactly that at that moment.
After that, he tells the streamer to focus on him for a second, while TimTheTatman looks away from the video again.
DrDisrespect hits back
This is the video in question: While the other streamers were somewhat taken aback by Captain Price’s words, DrDisrespect hits back. There is a direct response on Twitter:

In this clip, Captain Price is surprisingly friendly and says that he needs DrDisrespect on his team as a sniper.
However, the streamer seems unimpressed by these words and only responds: “You have to go through my agent first. And then, once you’ve engaged my agent, you call my lawyer and my marketing and legal team. And then we’ll discuss the payment.”
Are there any more such clips? So far, videos for streamers HusKerrs and Vikkstar are also known. Whether other personalities have received such clips is still unclear.
It seems to simply be advertising for the upcoming launch of Season 4 and a bit of fun. If you need information for the launch of Season 4 in CoD Warzone and Modern Warfare, just check out our large hub for the season. There you’ll also find everything about the new weapons and operators.

In Destiny 2, Season 10, the Season of Worthy, is slowly coming to an end. Some items, quests, or activities will also leave the game. We will show you what you will have to do without in the upcoming Season 11and where you should hurry up.
When does Season 10 end? The current Season 10 runs until the weekly reset on June 9th. Then there should be a smooth transition to Season 11 with the weekly reset at 7:00 PM (likely a bit later due to the update).
Things you should complete in Season 10 before it ends
Seasonal content will be left behind: However, with the end of the current season, many things will disappear – some indefinitely, others completely.
If you are still pursuing specific items, titles, or triumphs, or if you haven’t completed all the quests from the Season of Worthy yet, you should hurry. You only have a little more than a week left for that.
The story involving Ana, Zavala, and Rasputin will likely continue beyond Season 10
These activities will disappear:
Introductory quests for the Season of Worthy
Seraph Bunker access in the EDZ, on the Moon, and on Io, as well as Seraph Bunker upgrades, bonuses, and bounties
Exotic quest for “The Fourth Horseman”. The exotic shotgun may not completely disappear, but if you want to earn it directly and not rely on RNG later, you should hurry
“The Lie” quest. You should also hurry here – not only because it is not yet known how to earn the associated quest reward, the shotgun Felwinter’s Lie, afterwards. But also because you would otherwise miss out on some really cool lore from the last quest step
Legendary Lost Sectors as missions in the bunkers (the normal Lost Sectors will remain in the game)
The Warmind bot event
The Seraph Tower event will disappear
These items will disappear:
Seraph cosmetics (available in Seraph bunkers)
Badge and shader quests/items from the Season of Worthy
Warmind bits for bunker upgrades
Encrypted Warmind bits
Chips to increase the integration level of the bunkers
You should definitely redeem all currencies and possibly grab the last rewards like the Seraph weapons before they disappear.
By the way, the seasonal weapons from Season 10 may disappear, but not completely, only in the context of their associated activities. Bungie has already announced that starting from Season 11, items from previous seasons will return in a special engram. However, if you want to farm a specific roll, you should hurry up now.
Some Seraph weapons
These triumphs will disappear:
All seasonal triumphs from the Season of Worthy such as progress, Iron Banner, Glory, Vanguard, or Nightfall
Warmind Security: EDZ, Moon, Io
Comprehensive Warmind Security
Access Granted
Multiple Strands Cleared
Algorithm Efficiency
Flagship
Hardcoded Victory
Solved Challenges: Legendary Lost Sectors in the EDZ, on the Moon, and on Io
Multiple Stranded Cave Explorer
Object-Oriented
Top Tier Triumphs for the 6 selected strikes in Season 10
Big Confidence
Safe Haven
Lighthouse Keeper
The Right Path
as well as all other triumphs from Season 10
All Mighty will likely no longer be achievable after Season 10
This title will disappear:
“Season of Worthy” seal and the associated “All Mighty” title. Since Year 3, all titles from the Shadowkeep expansion and afterwards are only obtainable seasonally. However, you can still earn almost all titles from before that time (except MMXIX for the Triumph Moments 2019)
What else will disappear:
Season Pass for the Season of Worthy along with its bonuses. Previously earned but unclaimed rewards from the Season Pass can still be claimed later on the corresponding Bungie page
The seasonal artifact “Warmind’s Child” along with its bonus power level. These will be reset at the end of the season. You will then start the new season with your actual power level achieved
However, Zekrom is of Dragon and Electric type and will be particularly strong as an Electric type. It is the Electric Pokémon with the highest attack value, followed by Zapdos with a value of 253. The difference is significant.
Are Zekrom raids worth it? Just like with Reshiram, you should do a lot of raids with Zekrom as well. The Pokémon will be incredibly useful and will shake up the meta quite a bit.
Shiny cannot be available at release yet. Nevertheless, you should secure it, as the Electric type is effective in numerous raids, such as against Kyogre or Suicune.
What comes after Zekrom? The following month, Kyurem will probably appear. The Pokémon has already been announced and is the last monster from the Tao Trio that is still not in the game.
Blade and Soul continues to receive new updates both here and in Korea. Korean players will soon get a completely new class.
What kind of class is it? Korean players of Blade and Soul can look forward to a new class soon. Initially, it was speculated that the “Sky Seer” was not a new class, but rather a specialization, namely the third specialization of the Force Master.
The title of the cinematic trailer for the “Sky Seer” refers to it as a “completely new class”. You can check it out here:
While the Korean name of the class, “Cheondosa Temple”, is not very descriptive, the Chinese version translates to “Sky Seer”. However, this is not the official name of the class.
It specializes in powerful magical AOE attacks capable of decimating large groups of enemies.
It will also have focused attacks that “target a specific enemy”.
The area attacks are said to set the “Sky Seer” apart from other classes that are more geared towards 1v1 fights.
When will the new class arrive? Korean players will soon be able to try out the class. The Sky Seer is expected to be playable in June, although no exact date has been given.
The western version of Blade and Soul always lags slightly behind. There is no release window for the Sky Seer here, and fans will have to wait longer.
What will western fans receive? Players in the west will not be completely left out. On May 19, the “Steel Bonds” update went live, which included the second part of the Steelbreaker 12-man raid.
In June, fans can expect another content update that will bring the following features:
