Our stream for “Ask MeinMMO” now has a date. Stop by and learn the deepest secrets of the MeinMMO team.
What the heck is “Ask MeinMMO”? A few weeks ago, we asked you: “Is there anything you’ve always wanted to know about our team and the website?”.
There could be questions about editorial processes, insider happenings in the industry, or even personal questions for the staff. And you seized the opportunity to interrogate us. Here are some examples of the questions we will answer in the stream:
What does a workday look like for you?
Do you think that the mobile MMO market will become strong and popular in the West as well?
“Gaming journalism is very close to the industry” – To what extent do you see your integrity and independence compromised by statements like this, or how would you defend it?
When will the “Ask MeinMMO” stream happen? So if you’re thinking right now, “This is cool, I have some questions for the team!”, then this is your chance.
Tomorrow, on Tuesday, May 26th, we will start at 7:00 PM and will address your burning questions.
The stream will last a maximum of 2 hours and will end no later than 9:00 PM. Don’t miss the chance to grill us on topics related to MeinMMO and gaming.
Where can I watch the stream? The whole thing will be streamed on the MeinMMO Twitch channel:

In Destiny 2, a quest caused Guardians two weeks of headaches, but now completing it is doubly rewarding. Because alongside a powerful reward, the resolution of a 3-year-old story awaits.
However, the quest turned into a true nightmare for both the players and Bungie itself. We look at what went wrong and why a clear recommendation for the quest can now be made.
Why was the task so terrible? A summary of the two-week saga of the quest “The Lie” reads anything but inviting:
After a short time, it became clear: the community goal was set far too high – players were not keen on grinding an unpopular activity millions of times.
Three days later, the much-anticipated fix appeared, but the final quest step lacked an epic conclusion – the reward came without a fight.
We seize Felwinter’s hologram effortlessly from its famous weapon
Now that all the problems of the past days have been resolved, you should enjoy the quest. Because the last mission offers some real treats.
The Lie closes story gaps and offers one of the strongest weapons
This thrilling story is unveiled: Instead of a fight, players are greeted in the secret section of the bunker by a series of holograms. This reveals a well-told story.
We learn that Felwinter is essentially the son of the dubious Warmind Rasputin. The AI had sent the Exo as a spy to the Iron Lords. But Felwinter became an honorable member of Destiny’s version of the Knights of the Round Table. Subsequently, SIVA was used as a trap – how that turned out, many veterans from the expansion Rise of Iron might still remember: the Iron Lords were imprisoned and eradicated.
Guardians finally learn after 3 years what lies behind the story of the downfall of the Iron Lords.
These lore insights are also available: The mission provides attentive players with even more cool insights into the history of Destiny:
It seems that we see Rasputin’s original AI core in the bunker – the form he had before he became today’s machine god.
The secret facility appears to be a shrine or mausoleum for the deceased Iron Lord. We extract the quest reward from a hologram of Felwinter, which is in a kind of coffin – does the AI grieve for its lost son?

Rasputin’s AI core
When players subsequently equip the reward weapon (Felwinter’s Lie), further secrets may be revealed with kills. With every few kills, you will receive a lore entry. It tells the story of how the original wielder of the shotgun is hunted through the universe by AI-dad Rasputin, loses his memory, and becomes a Guardian.
That’s why the quest weapon is worth it: For those who find the thrilling story of the Iron Lords, Rasputin, and the murder of Destiny-Jesus Felwinter uninteresting, there’s an excellent weapon as a quest reward – which is now correctly displayed in the collection.
The legendary shotgun made a name for itself as an OP weapon in Destiny 1. In its current version, it is no longer broken, but very strong, and currently likely the best gun of its kind in PvP.
Read the detailed MeinMMO practical test on Felwinter’s Lie:
Conclusion on the quest “The Lie”: After the frustration regarding the course and issues of the quest has eased, positive voices are increasing. On reddit , amidst the angry posts, there are now more posts like: “In the midst of all the bad surrounding the Lie quest, I was quite shocked when I found out how convincing Felwinter’s story is in my opinion.”
Other gaming magazines are joining in and writing:
If we hadn’t encountered all these issues with the community quest and this glitched door, this quest would have been quite a massive mystery in my opinion.
We find it a shame that the technical issues of the quest stirred such a bitter aftertaste, but we recommend every Guardian out there to complete the mission soon. Because in two weeks a new chapter will start in Destiny 2 and is likely to remove “The Lie”, along with its cool story and powerful reward.
While we still do not know the name of the next season, we can already give you a small glimpse into the summer season starting on June 9. Among other things, Bungie has announced that nerfs and buffs for your weapons and perks are on the agenda.

In Call of Duty: Warzone, you must always be on the lookout for impending dangers. Any help is always welcome. A soldier has now discovered that you can also use the wildlife to your advantage.
What is it about? To perform well in Call of Duty: Warzone, you should always try to play with full concentration and make use of every advantage:
Listen to all sounds and pay attention to every movement
The trick presented here helps you with the last point, as you can detect enemies without direct line of sight and know exactly from which direction you can expect potential enemy contact. How does that work? Watch for startled birds.
Bird swarm as a natural UAV in the Warzone
Are there pictures of this? On Reddit, the CoD player “Noahthegoofy” showed what he learned in the Warzone the day before:

As the sixth gas circle (out of a maximum of 8) began to close, “Noah” was practicing a bit of tactical waiting. He already has a well-covered position and can safely move towards the next circle from there. The only thing that could surprise him now would be another forest camper from behind.
„Noah” is aware of this and therefore checks the area behind him much more intensively than the remaining zone to the circle. Suddenly, he noticed a flock of birds taking off startled behind a nearby hill. It all looked very suspicious, and he decided to keep a close eye on the area.
And lo and behold – Just a few seconds later, an enemy appears over the hilltop. Exactly where the birds were startled. Another forest camper was cautiously moving with the gas towards the new circle and walked directly into his crosshairs.
Since “Noah” was hardly moving at that moment, he was hard to see for the approaching enemy. So well prepared, he takes out the enemy easily with his M4. He can only hope that the remaining 4 enemies in his solo match meet a similar unfortunate fate.
Not all players are convinced; some think it’s a coincidence
What do the players think? The reactions in the thread are divided into 3 directions:
Soldiers thanking for the tip
Players who are still skeptical about whether it really works
Moaners wondering about the “Noob Tube”, the underbarrel grenade launcher that “Noah” has on his weapon
While some CoD players are glad about the tip, there are some skeptical voices who doubt its usefulness. “Senileriver” for example states: “I thought this in week 1 [after release]. But no, the birds fly randomly, I promise.”
Another player seems to have been keeping an eye on the birds for a while and has drawn the following conclusions:
__Emer__: “The bird swarms can be found throughout the match, but only in areas with many trees. Individual birds show nothing. However, bird swarms seem to be startled by players, but I often do not see any enemies. […] It is also possible to see bird swarms that have been startled by oneself.
Not everyone is convinced, but the timing has fit too well for a coincidence. By the way, “Noah” stated that he brought the “Noob Tube” to try it out in the Warzone.
When can I use this to my advantage? Pay attention to the wildlife in Call of Duty: Warzone. If you see birds taking off and can roughly determine where they started, thoroughly scout the area and expect nearby enemies.
This works especially well in areas with many trees. This way, you can let the environment work for you and take action against other forest campers. Use the surroundings to your advantage, just like at the secret spots that you can only reach with tricks. Every little detail can give you the decisive advantage.
What are your experiences with wildlife? Does it provide useful hints about enemies? Or does everything happen there just by chance?

The update 12.61 in Fortnite is here and brings new challenges, more style variants for Maya’s cosmetics, and bug fixes.
The patch notes for the Battle Royale mode in Fortnite have not been released by Epic Games. However, we summarize the biggest changes that have been noticed so far.
Unfortunately, there do not seem to be any major changes in the Save the World mode, as Epic has also not released official patch notes for it.
“Storm the Agency” Challenges
The new challenges revolve around the Agency and agent missions. With these, you can unlock 3 rewards: a glider, a weapon wrap, and a pickaxe.
The challenges are scheduled to go live today on Tuesday, May 26th at 16:00 German time. (via Twitter)
Dataminers have already found the upcoming challenges in the files after the update 12.60:

The raids in Pokémon GO will be really exciting again starting tomorrow. Reshiram is making its debut in the game and is shaking up the meta.
What happens tomorrow: In Pokémon GO, Reshiram will debut in level 5 raids tonight, on May 26, at 10:00 PM. For us German players, it will only be exciting from tomorrow onwards, as there are no raids at such a late hour.
Reshiram is the first Pokémon of the Tao Trio that can be found in Pokémon GO. Zekrom and Kyurem will follow, making the raids exciting in the weeks to come.
How strong will Reshiram be in Pokémon GO
How long will it be available? The Fire and Dragon-type Pokémon will stay in the game for three weeks. It will disappear on June 16 at 10:00 PM German time.
This long duration will be worth it, as you should participate in as many Reshiram raids as possible.
Reshiram will be really strong
These are the stats: Let’s first look at Reshiram’s stats to see how strong it will be:
Attack: 275
Defense: 211
HP: 205
Max CP: 4038
Thus, Reshiram has the highest attack value of all Fire Pokémon and is also sturdier in battle than Moltres or Chandelure.
What does this mean for the meta? Reshiram will be the best Fire attacker in the game, and by a wide margin. So you should definitely have multiple Reshiram in your team.
Then, some Pokémon returned that could finally be shiny, such as Virizion or Terrakion, but ultimately these monsters had already been in the game before, and those who secured a shiny did not necessarily need to raid anymore.
Now the raids are exciting again because there are finally monsters that will be really strong and quite important. You don’t have to go on a shiny hunt, but rather hope for good IVs.
What comes next? After Reshiram, Kyurem and Zekrom are expected to come. They are each the best attackers of the Dragon and Electric types. So you will have really good raid bosses during this time and the raid passes can be invested wisely.
The currently somewhat slowed raids will thus finally become really exciting again. Similarly, the upcoming Community Days will be exciting because the Pokémon appearing there are determined by you. The winners have now been announced.

The exciting mobile MMORPG Project Odin has now received an official title: Odin: Valhalla Rising. Additionally, the developers are revealing more details, and they sound really great.
What is Odin: Valhalla Rising about? The MMORPG takes place in a world of Norse mythology. Famous figures like Odin, Freyja, or Thor are set to play a role.
You explore a gigantic, open game world full of adventures awaiting you. However, you not only face monsters, but also battle fellow players in PvP fights. Exploring the world plays a significant role, as it is possible to climb rock walls and swim to reach remote locations. Furthermore, you will also explore many dungeons.
Additionally, there seems to be a bit of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla in the MMORPG. The freedom of movement found in an Assassin’s Creed game is at least partially reflected in Odin: Valhalla Rising with climbing.
What is special about it? Based on the screenshots and the video, one would not expect Odin: Valhalla Rising to be a mobile game. The graphics look as if the game could be from the PS4 or Xbox One.
The developers want to showcase what is graphically possible on modern smartphones thanks to Unreal Engine 4.
Odin: Valhalla Rising is a mobile game. You wouldn’t even tell by looking at it.
Where does the game stand? The developers from Lionheart Studio aim to release Odin: Valhalla Rising later this year. However, so far only a mobile version has been mentioned. It is unclear whether the MMORPG will also be available for PC and consoles.
It is also not yet determined whether Europe and the USA will receive the online RPG simultaneously with Asia.
In our detailed tables, we present all buildings in ESO that you can acquire and inhabit as a home – from the ordinary guest room to the grand palace.
[toc]
In the following tables, you will find all the houses in the game along with information on location and price. The prices consist of the following: the first price is always the price in in-game currency, the second is the crown price unfurnished, and the third is the price in the Crown Store including furniture.
Guest Rooms (GZ)
All guest rooms are located in the various inns of Tamriel: one in the first larger settlement of the three factions from the base game (Daggerfall, Ebonheart, Aldmeri Dominion) and in each main settlement of the four chapters that have been released so far: Morrowind, Summerset, Elsweyr, and the new Greymoor. Each guest room consists of a small interior with a few windows, giving you just a taste of the housing system possibilities. You can only obtain guest rooms in-game – either through a quest or for a small amount of gold.

Small Apartments (KL)
The three small apartments available in the game offer you a bit more space than a guest room, but don’t expect too much extra room. These mini-apartments are worth it mainly if you want to set up more decorations than in a guest room, but still lack the gold for a house purchase from the “Simple Houses” category. In the Crown Store, you will find the huts under the “Plain” category.
Heroes looking for a bit more space and perhaps some greenery can use the simple houses from the “Plain” category: These homes become available once you’ve saved up a bit more gold. With a larger interior, you can separate your new home with folding walls or floor-to-ceiling bookshelves if you wish, to separate the living area from the sleeping area.

Mansions (AN)
If you want to buy one of the large, prestigious mansions for gold, you must meet a requirement: You unlock each house only after achieving the adventurer achievement for the area where the mansion is located.
If you want to buy the Gardener’s House, for example, you have all the quests in the Stormhaven area ahead of you to complete the achievement “Adventurer in Stormhaven”. If you don’t want to quest that much, simply use crowns as a time-saving shortcut! You can find the mansions in the Crown Store under “Classic Houses”.

Extravagant (EX)
The most splendid and extraordinary buildings can be found as “Noteworthy Houses” in the corresponding category of the Crown Store. These ostentatious buildings can only be acquired with crowns – with five exceptions: Four of them can be purchased with gold by mastering certain achievements (see table), and the “Hall of the Moon Champion” can be obtained through an Elsweyr quest line.
Hakkvild’s High Hall, an extravagant Nord mansion.
However, many of these buildings are not permanently available in the Crown Store, so you may have to wait weeks or even months for a specific building. The “Great Psijic Villa” could be earned by active Summerset players during the Summer’s End Community Event in 2018 as a reward for a collective effort, and it is generally not available in the store.

The Tamriel Real Estate Office
Nearly 70 dwellings of various types await you in the game. With our map, you can see at a glance which ones can be found in your desired region.
Through the small gold pouch, you can organize a guest room (GZ) in one of Tamriel’s inns via quest or buy a small apartment (KL). A bit more space is offered by simple houses (EH). If you want something more representative, keep an eye out for a classic house (KH), and you will usually be rewarded with a bit of greenery or even a pond or piece of lake for the investment.
Here you will find all houses in Tamriel. The abbreviations are explained in the article above.
If you really want to make your neighbors envious, snag a mansion (AN) and fill it to the brim with decorations. Extravagant dwellings (EX) offer you the living comfort of a splendid palace combined with plenty of property space, giving you a lot of additional design possibilities. However, many of these special buildings can only be acquired with crowns.
Be careful: This can get expensive quickly – just like buying a real house. Depending on which race has spread in a region, most buildings are styled according to that race. For example, all buildings on Vvardenfell are built in the style of the Dunmer houses located there.
If you want to buy a home fitting for Orcs, it’s best to look around in Bangkorai or Wrothgar. Khajiit fans will find what they need in Elsweyr or the Schnittermark. More about costs and available properties can be found on the upcoming pages.

What’s going on? Player Rextroy demonstrates with his Paladin how he annihilates well-equipped enemies of the Horde with just one attack. Almost fully naked, he charges at the opponents, stuns them, and then dismantles them with a single blow. They literally burst and have no chance to counter Rextroy.

How does it work? Rextroy exploits the (sometimes strange) PvP scaling present in Battle for Azeroth. When a player wears bad equipment – or even none at all – they deal a higher percentage of damage with their abilities.
However, without equipment, essential stats like strength, agility, or intellect are missing, making the damage of the character’s regular abilities still low.
This is not the case for “external” abilities that do not belong directly to the character. So bombs or “vehicles” like Xuen in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms.
Rextroy takes advantage of this situation. He undresses his character completely, except for the Heart of Azeroth. He then activates the Divine Shield to gain a few seconds of safety from enemy attacks.
Now he ignites the Azerite Grenade, which can be obtained in Tiragarde Sound. This increases critical strike chance against the current target by 100%.
Next, he uses the Azerite Essence “Strength of the Guardian”. Targets hit by this will take 50% more damage for 6 seconds.
Finally, he deploys the Fire Bomb. This will now guarantee a critical hit of devastating magnitude. Only a few players survive this combo.
Why is the shown number so small? If you watch the video closely, you see comparatively “small” damage numbers. Rextroy deals hits of just under 200,000 damage, but players are dying who have up to 900,000 health points. This is also due to the scaling in PvP. The displayed damage does not exactly match what the victim actually suffers in hit points.
The killer Paladin Rextroy always provides great moments.
Is that still possible? Only to a limited extent. Blizzard has already disabled a large part of this mechanic, as the Fire Bomb of the Mantis can only be used in Pandaria now. So you can only try this trick in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms.
What do you think about this? A cool and clever exploitation of game mechanics? Or further proof of “Beta for Azeroth”?

There are 4 launchers in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare & Warzone and each has its own character. Find out here what makes each launcher so powerful and for what use they are best suited. Small spoiler: All launchers in Modern Warfare pack a mighty punch.
What launchers are there in CoD MW? In CoD, you can choose a sidearm for special missions alongside fast submachine guns and powerful LMGs. You can take pistols, knives or hefty launchers, and the explosive companions can provide strong support in battle. In total, Modern Warfare and Warzone offer 4 of these launchers for loadouts:
PILA
Strela-P
JOKR
Rocket Launcher (RPG)
What do launchers bring me? All 4 launchers have their peculiarities and offer a significant advantage in certain situations. They reliably destroy killstreaks, land one-shots, or eliminate annoying vehicles. In our tips for Warzone, we even recommend having one as a team at all times.
“TheXclusiveAce” took a closer look at the launchers and analyzed the stats as well as advantages and disadvantages of the heavy weapons in his English YouTube video. Here you can find his results, applications, and tips for these explosive helpers.
Update May 25 – The big Mid-Season Update 1.21 likely revised the functioning of the launchers and changed the damage values. Under the point “All launchers in the value comparison after Update 1.21” you will find the details of the changes.
[toc]
The best launchers for every use in Call of Duty 2019
Which launchers are best against soldiers? Here, the two Russian launchers Strela and RPG dominate.
For direct and rapid combat, the RPG performs a bit better, as its reload time is almost half that of the Strela and its explosion radius is significantly larger. However, the rockets from the Strela drift very little over long distances and travel at an insane speed.
Which launchers are best against killstreaks and vehicles? Here, PILA and Strela stand out.
The PILA has a slight edge due to its strong target acquisition. This allows you to target and eliminate helicopters or vehicles from great distances in Warzone. The Strela rounds are not influenced by rocket countermeasures and can therefore take out killstreaks like the VTOL-Jet with one shot less.
What about the JOKR? Previously known as Javelin launcher in Call of Duty, this launcher is a bit different from its colleagues. You have to lock on to fire for what feels like ages, and the impact takes a long time to arrive, but it comes from above. The JOKR can be strong in certain situations, but in most cases, the other launchers are ahead.
All launchers in the value comparison after Update 1.21
What is generally known about the CoD launchers? Although the launchers are all unique, they share three common characteristics:
A direct body hit with a rocket always eliminates opponents
They must be aimed before they can be fired
The launchers cause environmental damage in 3 strengths depending on the distance from the target to impact
What are the stats of the launchers? “TheXclusiveAce” compiled the stats of the launchers and got the following values for damage and movement characteristics:
Damage profile of the launchers
PILA
0 – 2.8 meters – 250 damage
2.8 – 5.5 meters – 135 damage
5.5 – 8 meters – 50 damage
Strela
0 – 2.5 meters – 250 damage
2.5 – 3 meters – 75 damage
3 – 6 meters – 50 damage
JOKR
0 – 5 meters – 600 damage
5 – 15 meters – at least 150 damage
RPG
0 – 2.5 meters – 250 damage
2.5 – 4.5 meters – 130 damage
4.5 – 9 meters – 50 damage

This is how long the launchers take to fire, reload, and reload with the yellow perk “Eager”.
What changed with Update 1.21? “Ace” examined in a recent YouTube video the characteristics of the launchers again, as the patch notes of update 1.21 noted a nerf to the RPG. He discovered that there was even a rework of the damage calculation for all loadout launchers.
Although he can’t say for sure whether this new effect came into the game with patch 1.21 or was introduced weeks earlier, currently, the impact damage from a hit no longer decreases “gradually” the further you are from the impact, but there are now only 3 damage levels. This applies to the mobile launchers PILA, Strela, and RPG. Testing the JOKR is difficult, so “Ace” cannot provide a precise statement here.
In addition to the changes in environmental damage, all mobile launchers can now down an opponent in Warzone with their maximum impact damage. Up to 2.5 meters away, the launchers deal 250 damage, exactly as much as an enemy soldier with 3 armor plates has. The PILA even up to 2.8 meters.
PILA – Launcher Alpha
What makes the PILA special? With the first available rocket launcher from Modern Warfare, everything revolves around target acquisition. You can fire rockets without a locked target, but the accuracy of the projectiles leaves much to be desired, especially at greater distances. Vehicles you have targeted with the target acquisition almost always receive a hit.
Pro
Strong targeting function
Rockets have good speed to hit moving targets
Effective against Warzone vehicles
Contra
Very inaccurate without target acquisition
Long reload time
Rather small explosion radius
With target acquisition, high time to fire
How do I use the launcher in Warzone? The PILA is an absolute vehicle killer and reliably eliminates the annoying vehicles. The Quad and the small Rover explode in a charming team wipe explosion, and every small vehicle is an opportunity to reduce the number of opponents. If you play in a team, you should always consider whether one of you packs a PILA.
SUVs and helicopters are only disabled after a hit. Shoot the vehicles a little beforehand and then take the shot. If you have enough rockets, you can also take a shot at distant helicopters and thus take down an opposing team from their vehicle.
However, you should not engage the truck alone. They continue driving easily after a hit, and it’s usually not worth wasting rockets on them. However, combined with Thermite, you can take down the trucks nicely.
How do I use the launcher in multiplayer? The PILA performs best here as an anti-killstreak weapon. From Wheelson to turret to VTOL – with the PILA you can quickly lock on and deliver a big hit. However, this launcher doesn’t feel as strong as it does in Warzone.
VTOL or killstreak helicopters use rocket countermeasures to deflect the first guided rocket. Additionally, you need several shots to take down the big devices. In regular multiplayer, the Strela is more suitable, but in Ground War, the PILA can also shine.
Strela-P – Launcher Beta
What makes the Strela special? An all-round rocket launcher with some strengths, but the most “buts”. However, if you are willing to make compromises, you get a jack-of-all-trades here.
Pro
Accurate like a sniper rifle, holding your breath is possible
Very fast rockets
Best time to fire of the launchers
Rocket countermeasures are useless
Contra
Small explosion radius
No target acquisition
Long reload time
How do I use the launcher in Warzone? Other launchers generally perform better here, but the Strela offers interesting application possibilities that also make it strong in Warzone. The rockets are extremely accurate and fast, and you can even hold your breath while aiming, just like with the strong sniper rifles of Warzone.
An injured opponent who is holed up behind cover is an easy target for a well-placed rocket. If you shoot at a “downed” opponent, you might even catch his comrade. With this also explosive setup of the crossbow, you can finish off the down phase of opponents after the K.O.
Hitting vehicles at short to medium ranges is also not a problem due to the fast projectiles. Here, however, the PILA is better.
How do I use the launcher in multiplayer? If you want to eliminate soldiers but also want to shoot down killstreaks, then the Strela is your choice. The precise rockets of this launcher fly at high speed, and even the sometimes agile flying objects of the killstreaks can be hit well.
However, the launcher has disadvantages when fighting soldiers. Compared to the RPG, the detonation radius is significantly smaller, and the long reload can be annoying. However, the Strela is a solid all-rounder in multiplayer with unusual sniper characteristics.
JOKR – Launcher Charlie
What makes the JOKR special? The weapon is different from its 3 brethren. You have to lock onto the target for a long time and can’t just fire a rocket casually. The projectiles take a long time to reach their destination and strike from above. You also get a comparatively large detonation area and deal a lot of damage here.
Pro
Target acquisition
Interesting impact angle, rocket comes from above
Largest explosion radius
Lots of damage, even at the edge of the radius
Contra
Fires only after target acquisition
Projectile takes a long time to travel
Rocket does not change trajectory after launch
How do I use the launcher in Warzone? It is not the best choice here, but it has a special feature that makes it quite interesting. You can use the launcher like a cluster strike. If you see an occupied roof where some campers have just frozen in hard-scope stillness, fire one of your JOKR strikes at the lazy group.
Since the rocket strikes from above, you can even catch opponents behind the roof edges. If you knocked out a sniper, send a second surprise behind and take the kill and the reviving teammate. Knowing how snipers behave in Warzone can help with that.
How do I use the launcher in multiplayer? The JOKR is suitable for fighting against tight positions that are open from above. In the objective-based modes of MW multiplayer, such as Domination or Headquarters, the targets are often under open skies, and you can attack defending opponents without much risk.
This is also the decisive advantage that this launcher brings – attacking the opponent from a safe position. In the large “Ground War” mode, the big rocket launcher can also play its cards right. On smaller and medium-sized maps, you won’t find much success with the JOKR.
Rocket Launcher – Launcher Delta
What makes the RPG special? The fastest and most mobile rocket launcher on this list. This robust weapon platform can deliver a quick, precise shot to opponents and reliably clears enemies out of the way in close quarters multiplayer combat. However, the further you are from the target, the more unpredictable the projectiles become.
Pro
Large explosion radius
Fast time to fire
Fastest reload of the launchers
Contra
Unpredictable rockets at longer range
No target acquisition
Significant damage drop-off at the radius edge
How do I use the launcher in Warzone? The RPG often pops out of the first box of the match and then brings the only shot inventory that stands between the seen enemy and the Gulag. The shot should hit the opponent directly to knock him out. If you shoot just slightly off, assist with the pistol and finish off the wounded enemy.
Against the Warzone vehicles, the PILA is the much better choice; the RPG is more helpful in house-to-house fighting or when the opponent disappears behind cover. If you have shot down a enemy soldier’s armor, follow up with a shot on his position and take him down. But remember the insane trajectory of the projectiles. At greater distances, it is hardly predictable where the rockets will land.
How do I use the launcher in multiplayer? This is the right launcher for quick combat at short ranges. If you want to play without “Overkill” and draw your pistol less often than you would like, then give this one a try.
You can eliminate enemies around corners and intimidate them with close impact hits. Use the RPG like your grenades and wear down enemies with constant RPG hits. A strong sidearm that can also clear out an annoying killstreak.
Grenade Launcher as a bonus in Warzone
The Warzone also has its own launcher that occasionally drops from the Battle Royale boxes – the grenade launcher:
Where do I get the grenade launcher? You cannot bring the launcher into Warzone through your loadouts, nor can you search for it specifically. The launcher is a random drop and is also quite rare.
How good is the special launcher? It might be pretty good. However, as it is so rare, there is little testing or more precise analysis.
The grenades fly in a curve at the target and pack a punch. Additionally, many grenades fit in the magazine, allowing for multiple shots in succession. With all other launchers, you have to reload long before the next shot comes. Large vehicles like the truck can be taken on directly with it.

The Fortnite pro Tyler “Ninja” Blevins is accused of being too toxic. However, he believes that this is just part of gaming. In a stream, he explains why he finds this normal.
This is the situation: In one of his Mixer streams, Ninja was accused of being too toxic because he insults and yells at his friends like DrLupo, CourageJD, and TimTheTatman during the game.
The pro thinks this is normal and part of gaming. Just because they are so close friends, this behavior is something that can be practiced among friends.
This is what Ninja says about the accusations: When he was addressed in his stream on May 23 in the chat about being too toxic, Ninja said: He and his group of friends all roast each other and shout at each other. (via Mixer Stream from 12 hours and 49 minutes)
“It is precisely because we are so close friends. Only among ourselves can we behave like this with each other.”

Later he adds that everyone complains while he plays games. It would even make up “90% of the fun. Mostly, anyway.” Ninja likes to complain and knows what Fortnite needs to change to be good.
It then seems that Ninja was addressed about a joke where they make fun of DrLupo’s age, as he is the oldest in the group.
Ninja and his friends then call him: old man. Some seem to see this as toxic behavior. But among friends, it just seems to be a joke.

In conclusion, Ninja says that anyone who would consider him toxic has been brainwashed. He wonders which streamers those players usually watch.
Twitch Streamer SypherPK Shows It
One day after Ninja reacted to the accusations in his stream, Twitch streamer SypherPK spoke out on Twitter. He is tired of Fortnite pro players getting all the drama hype.
Now it would be his turn, and he meant that he would start insulting his friends now.

PlayStation Plus in June: Call of Duty: World War 2
What’s special about it? Normally, Sony releases the titles included in PS Plus only on the last Wednesday of the month. Then players have to wait another week before they can start the games.
You can download and start Call of Duty World War 2 from tomorrow, May 26, 2020, on PlayStation 4.
What is Call of Duty World War 2?Call of Duty World War 2 is a first-person shooter that uses the setting of World War II and returns to its roots. The innovations and ideas that came with Infinite Warfare did not appeal to many players.
This is what Call of Duty WW2 offers: In addition to a single-player campaign, Call of Duty: WW2 also offers a comprehensive multiplayer part:
It features the well-known classic modes of Call of Duty.
Additionally, there is the War mode, where you replay historical battles.
If you’re playing the World War shooter for the first time, we have some tips for you.
What are experience points and prestige? In most multiplayer modes, you collect experience points that allow your soldier to level up. Once you reach level 55, you can switch to prestige. Those who have reached level 55 can no longer collect further experience points. Those who switch to prestige receive the following benefits:
1 Prestige unlock token: this allows you to permanently unlock an item for equipment.
Your rank is reset: your soldier is reset to rank 1, and all items unlocked through your rank are locked again. Only permanently unlocked items remain.
All division levels, weapon levels, challenges, and customizations remain intact.
How you can collect experience points quickly and gain prestige, we have explained in detail here:
Many are likely to be excited about Call of Duty, as there was a major disappointment after the release of the games in May: After a fake notice, many players had hoped for two action-packed titles for PS Plus in May but instead received two simulations.
We will keep you informed on MeinMMO about what the other free PS Plus games for June 2020 are as soon as we have the information.

In FIFA 20, two new Team of the Season So Far are released today, on May 25. These are new TOTS cards from the Dutch Eredivisie as well as the Chinese Super League (CSL).
Then the new TOTSSF cards will be released: From today, May 25 at 7:00 PM, the TOTS cards (or TOTSSF this year) from the Dutch and Chinese first league are available in FIFA 20 Ultimate Team.
These cards are particularly strong: In the Dutch Eredivisie team, there are some real stars, including: Ziyech (96), Promes (95), Van de Beek (94), and Idrissi (94).
ZOM: Ziyech (96)
LM: Promes (95)
ZDM: Van de Beek (94)
LF: Idrissi (94)
LV: Tagliafico (93)
IV: Blind (92)
RV: Dumfries (90)
ZM: Midtsjo (89)
TW: Bizot (88)
ZDM: Koopmeiners (88)
ST: Dessers (88)
This is the Chinese Super League TOTSSF
TOTSSF Chinese Super League
These cards are particularly strong: The CSL TOTS team also offers some really powerful TOTSSF cards like Paulinho (95), Hulk (94), Renato Augusto (94), and Oscar (93).
ZM: Paulinho (95)
RF: Hulk (94)
ZM: Renato Augusto (94)

How to get the new TOTSSF cards
These are the options available: As always, you have the chance to obtain TOTSSF cards from these packs:
However, this often requires incredible luck. Therefore, it is better to play the Weekend League and hope for a good yield from the currently strong rewards. Because from 11 wins, you are guaranteed a TOTSSF card.
Otherwise, the FUT transfer market is a good place to find new TOTS cards. Here, the prices for new top cards, especially shortly after release, are often still very high. So it’s best to wait a few days to buy your desired card.

This is not only due to the fact that the level cap drops from 120 to 50, but also because of a new starting zone and a clear distinction between the individual expansions. Those who want can choose an addon and level from level 10 to 50 there.
At the same time, the developers want to significantly accelerate the leveling process. At BlizzCon, they mentioned a 60%-70% faster leveling speed. Just how drastic this effect is, has recently been shown by a player.
This is how fast leveling goes: While many are testing the endgame in the Alpha of Shadowlands, DesMephisto prefers to play the “old” content and levels a character up to level 50. He has chosen the Battle for Azeroth expansion, as he benefits from the Azerite gear. Leveling goes by in a flash, so he reached level 50 after 5 hours and 26 minutes – equivalent to level 120 in the current World of Warcraft. He has significantly broken his old record of 7 hours.
Though DesMephisto leveled an Allied race that starts at level 10, this only saves him about 20 minutes – the first 10 levels go by in less than half an hour.
What tricks did DesMephisto use? DesMephisto has already made a name for himself in the WoW community, as he has almost 50 warriors at max level. He is also a well-known “speed leveler” who has nearly perfected his leveling route. He approaches it the same way in the Alpha of Shadowlands. Some of his tricks and tips include:
Enchant all heirlooms as much as possible.
Completely level in Battle for Azeroth (10-40) to benefit from Azerite gear.
Wear Azerite gear while questing, but switch to heirlooms when turning in quests.
DesMephisto has leveled an extremely large number of warriors – he knows turbo leveling.
Will it stay this fast? That is questionable. Currently, the Alpha is still undergoing significant changes, and values such as necessary XP are often adjusted in the last weeks. It is entirely possible that Blizzard is still tweaking some aspects and extending the leveling phase slightly.
However, one should not forget that DesMephisto has nearly perfected his leveling route. Most players will likely not achieve such speed.

A player may have set a record in Valorant that no one will break so quickly. He achieved a proud 73 kills in one round. However, it seems that an unintended matchmaking trick helped him, which is frowned upon in other games.
Who is the player? The reddit user and Valorant player lunariwnl scored a total of 73 kills in one round in Riot’s new shooter and only died 16 times. This results in a K/D of about 4.56.
He claims himself that he does not master the game at all. In Valorant’s new ranked mode, he says he was placed in Iron I (the lowest rank) and slowly worked his way up to Gold I. lunariwnl describes himself as bad – not a shooter god like shroud. His performance can be seen in a short video on reddit:
Recommended editorial content

How does the trick work? When he started, he played his 20 unranked matches and then his 5 placement matches for ranked. The result: Iron I. After that, he only played ranked games.
In his reddit video, he shares his speculation on how he managed to get so many kills in one game:
After I reached Gold, I decided to just play normal matchmaking. This here [the record match] was the one I played. I think the following happened: As my ranked Elo went up, my MMR stayed the same […] So I was playing against players who are not at the same skill level.
If this is true, Valorant currently has a big problem recognizing how good a player is. If an absolute pro decides to play unranked after weeks of only playing ranked matches, Valorant won’t recognize how good he is. He will simply decimate his opponents, just like lunariwnl.
Valorant releases on June 2 and the beta ends on May 28. If this system is not intended, it should be revised by that time.
“Trick” is frowned upon in other games
The system is similar to “smurfing” or “reverse boosting”. With these tricks, strong players try to intentionally end up in matches with weaker players to rack up better stats.
Smurfing refers to a practice where strong players create a new account to play against other newcomers. This way, they utilize the experience from their main account and leverage that knowledge against absolute beginners in a game.
Both systems are a clear exploitation of a mechanic that is supposed to protect newcomers and ensure that everyone has fun. They should not be used for strong players to rack up insane stats. Apparently, Valorant has overlooked this. Or what do you think about the “trick”?

ESO sends traveling heroes to a multitude of fascinating places with postcard atmosphere. Here are some of our favorite travel destinations that you must not miss!By Gloria H. Manderfeld.
Traveling around Tamriel? No problem: Grab your mount, pick an area you haven’t explored yet and off you go. Because not only will you discover breathtaking scenery, but you’ll also earn experience points just by exploring.
As long as you don’t accidentally run into a world boss on foot, your trip is completely safe: You can easily gallop away from most enemies with a short sprint.
In this region primarily inhabited by Wood Elves lies Elden Root, the capital of the Aldmeri Dominion. It is located in the interior and surrounds what is arguably the largest tree in Tamriel. The rest of the settlement extends between the roots, giving it a naturally grown appearance.
In Grathwood, the trees are also buildings.
A few steps further stands a temple soaring to great heights. Be sure to visit Elden Root and the temple at night: The lighting effects add a mystical enchanted ambiance to the already fascinating architecture. The rest of Grathwood is also worth a visit.
Eastmarch
If you haven’t acquired the Greymoor DLC yet and still want to satisfy your nostalgia for Skyrim, you should definitely travel to the region of Eastmarch. It showcases heavy Viking flair: Between rugged cliffs, ancient tombs, and gloomy Dwemer ruins rise the gable-heavy, sturdy settlements of the Nords.
So, are you also hearing the Skyrim theme in your head?
The transition from tundra-like surroundings filled with low plants and coniferous trees to snow-covered mountain ranges is unforgettable.
Alik’r Desert
Many ancient secrets lie buried in the Alik’r Desert, primarily settled by the proud Redguards. While the settlements are characterized by their oriental architectural style, the deep desert conveys a genuine sense of vastness and solitude.
Alik’r is the typical desert in Orient style.
Even at night, as the desert’s magic is especially pronounced then. Afterward, it’s time to take a stroll through the largest city of Shield Watch with its colorfully decorated buildings and bazaars.
If you enjoyed Bal Foyen and Stonefalls and want to experience mushrooms in house format, you can’t miss a trip to the Dark Elf island of Vvardenfell. Good thing the Morrowind chapter is part of our special issue full version! Because there you not only get to see the biggest mushrooms in Tamriel, but also a comprehensive overview of the cultural diversity of the Dunmer.
Lava and mushrooms dominate the island of Vvardenfell from Morrowind.
Each settlement reflects the style of the ruling house in the area, making the discovery of new places a real experience. You should especially check out the mushroom towers of the quirky, magic-laden Telvanni. The greatest contrast to this is offered by the newly built city of Vivec in the south of the island.
Clockwork City (DLC Clockwork City)
The most extraordinary place in Tamriel is the completely mechanical Clockwork City built by demigod Sotha Sil. Besides the impressive brass fortress in the walled city, the dark slag city and the rocky, barren landscape in bronze tones attract attention.
If you love steampunk, you’ll love the Clockwork City.
Here, all living beings and plants are artificially created! If you love the bizarre and unique, you should also complete the quest line along with all side quests, as you’ll be led to all the special places. Don’t miss the city at dawn: The transition from night lighting to bright day is truly a sight to behold! If you don’t have an ESO Plus subscription, just wait for the next ESO free week and then use that time for a visit.

The market research institute SuperData has released new figures for video games in April 2020. The big winner: League of Legends. The game performed better than it has in years.
What are these figures? SuperData regularly compiles interesting key data for the video game industry and online games, from which they create lists of the most popular games for PC, consoles, and mobile.
The analysts’ data is typically trustworthy, even if it does not contain concrete numbers. SuperData does not disclose its sources but states that the data comes from partnerships with publishers and developers. It serves as a source for many gaming magazines worldwide and is considered a reliable benchmark for the success of games.
It has been a great time for League of Legends: According to SuperData, League of Legends has had a stronger month in April 2020 than it has since February 2017. The experts write:
The revenues for League of Legends are at their highest since February 2017. Player numbers are also at an all-time high.
League of Legends managed to earn more money in April 2020 than in any individual month over the past three years and attracted more players than ever before. It is in 1st place among the highest-grossing PC games, followed by Dungeon Fighter Online and Crossfire. All three were already among the most successful PC games in 2019 and among the most successful video game franchises in the world.

Where does the boom come from? There is no official explanation, but it seems likely that the ongoing coronavirus crisis is responsible. League of Legends is a well-known name, it is free-to-play, and many people need to stay at home.
Another reason could be esports spectacles like the LEC and LCS starting in June. The LEC and LCS Spring 2020 ended in April, and such tournaments always create media buzz through Twitch. The main channels of the LEC alone had over 300,000 viewers at peak times (via sullygnome).
Doom Eternal seems to impress with cool monsters, hard music, and great graphics.
Curiously, a remake of an old classic has managed to sneak into the top rankings. The remaster of the Modern Warfare 2 campaign is in 8th place for console games in April 2020. As a PC & Xbox version is now also available, we may see this game again in the May list.
The mobile list is led by the shooter Peacekeeper Elite, the Chinese version of PUBG Mobile from the mobile giant Tencent. The latter still makes it to 8th place in the mobile charts in the West.
Are you surprised by these figures? Which games did you expect, which less? Let us know in the comments!

The Samurzel Community Day in May is history. For six hours, players could catch the plant monster more frequently in Pokémon GO – and especially shiny hunters were delighted.
This is how the Community Day went: Anyone who opened Pokémon GO on Sunday at 11 AM and ideally threw two incense items right away was quickly overwhelmed by many small Samurzel.
The plant Pokémon spawned in large numbers. And although the evolution Tengulist with Seed Bomb is not the most exciting Pokémon in the world – anyone looking for a good Samurzel for their collection could enjoy an easy game.
For collectors, the Community Day with Samurzel was made for them. Especially for those searching for shiny Pokémon versions.
The bonuses partly helped with the shiny hunt
Plenty of Shiny Samurzel around
A good day for shiny hunters: Typically, the rare shiny versions of Pokémon are hard to find. However, during the Community Day, the rate for Samurzel was increased. Combined with
the many spawns
the three-hour incense durations
and the generally long-running Community Day (Samurzel appeared in boosted numbers for six hours)
it resulted in a perfect Community Day for players who wanted to secure a shiny Samurzel.
Additionally, players could get more Samurzel encounters through the snapshot feature. The monster appeared suddenly in photos taken of Pokémon – and here too, trainers reported catching shinies in the following encounters.
Shiny hunters had a lot of luck on Sunday
In the community, many players were pleased with the great opportunity for shinies. For example, a reddit user wrote: “I broke a personal record. 34 shinies from home” (via reddit).
And also in our Facebook group for Pokémon GO, many players showed that there were several shinies to catch. Between 15 and 30 shinies were all present. “20 shinies in 3.5 hours,” writes Simone F. 21 Samurzel, and in addition, user Patrick L. secured one shiny each of Nidoran, Zigzagoon, Terrakion, and Riolu.
This did not go so well: Even with the strong rates, some players had worse luck with shinies and found only a few.
A larger problem occurred with buddies: Some players experienced a bug where the buddy Pokémon did not bring Poké Balls as planned. This made catching from home a bit harder.
If you also want to go shiny hunting on the next Community Day, you have again received a good target. After a vote was conducted for the next two months, it is confirmed: Hornliu will be the next event Pokémon in June.

The mobile game based on the popular anime “Attack on Titan” has flopped. The servers will soon be shut down – what went wrong?
Time and again, mobile games attempt to capitalize on the hype of an anime to be successful and offer something to the fans of a series. In the case of Attack on Titan: Assault, this apparently did not work. The mobile game has flopped, and the developer announced the shutdown of the servers on Facebook.
What is Attack on Titan about? In the anime Attack on Titan (available on Netflix), the remnants of humanity have barricaded themselves behind great walls to be protected from the attacks of the Titans. Titans are essentially “giants” that stomp through the world and eat humans. The plot focuses on various military units that engage in the fight against the Titans and attempt to defeat the overwhelming enemy while also trying to understand where the Titans actually come from.

What kind of mobile game was it? In Attack on Titan: Assault, players coordinate the defense of humanity and equip several heroes to combat the Titans. The various characters have individual special attacks, such as devastating attacks or buffs for team members. Throughout the game, many additional features could be unlocked, such as arena battles – there were also plenty of opportunities to spend real money in the shop.
Players could primarily collect the characters they already knew from the series – such as Eren Yeager or Mikasa Ackerman.
Why did the game flop? Although Attack on Titan: Assault had some proponents, there was significant criticism of the game. The mechanics of collecting and improving characters were based on the controversial gacha mechanic – essentially, players had to open loot boxes and hope to receive a specific character multiple times to upgrade them.
However, Attack on Titan: Assault also had gameplay issues. The gameplay was quite monotonous, the battles were not very tactical, and the animations were rather poor. Finally, the interface with many buttons was a nightmare, often making it unclear what individual buttons actually represented.
Can you still play it? Only if you have already installed the game. New downloads of Attack on Titan: Assault are no longer possible. However, if you already own the game, you can still play until the server shutdown on June 19. After that, the game will likely be history for the foreseeable future.
Did you play Attack on Titan: Assault? Or are you glad you avoided it?
