CoD Warzone: Glitch shows a new item for Season 4

Maik Schneider Maik Schneider Reading time 2 minutes

Due to a glitch, players have now once again found hints of a new item in Call of Duty: Warzone. This time, it is bandages that could possibly be a new item of Season 4.

What kind of glitch is this? During a round of Plunder, a player from Call of Duty: Warzone collected some armor plates and wanted to use them to strengthen himself. Just as he was about to equip the plates, he climbed a ladder, which changed the healing animation.

Normally it’s the players, who tend to confuse everyone in a Battle Royale, but this time it seems the game is not quite sure what is going on. Instead of adorning himself with another armor plate, the operator starts bandaging himself after climbing onto the roof. However, there are currently no bandages in Warzone.

Glitch shows bandages – Players suspect Season 4 item

What does this look like? On Reddit, the user “regnilsemaj” posted a video of the action. You can clearly see how the animation changes exactly when he climbs the ladder:

Upon reaching the roof of the fire station, confusion now also strikes the player. He sees a rather decent bandaging animation and stands there visibly astonished for a moment before asking, “What is happening here?”.

What could the bandages mean? In the thread about the clip, there is some speculation about what these bandages could mean. Just with the big update 1.20, a new item appeared in Warzone (armor satchels), and now some fans think that something new could also be coming soon. Most comments consider it possible that:

  • Bandages are a new Warzone item for Season 4.
  • Initially, plates and bandages were planned, and the files were not removed from the game.
  • A realistic or hardcore mode is coming, where health does not regenerate on its own.

Since there is currently no statement or known plans from the developers to introduce bandages, all three possibilities remain likely for now.

Curious glitch discoveries have occurred before

Recently, players found mini-guns that suddenly popped out of crates but turned out to be normal weapons when picked up. The found weapon, along with some data miner info, suggests to some players a juggernaut mode for Warzone.

cod warzone glitch weapons dog
There have been glitches that showed items that do not actually exist in Warzone.

Also interesting was the discovery of a player, who suddenly could play with an unknown weapon. Again a possible hint at upcoming content for the next season.

However, the most curious discovery was the model of a dog that fell out of a crate. Here, although one only got a normal weapon in hand, the find stirred quite a bit of speculation. Since dogs were visible in the Warzone trailer and there was previously a killstreak with a pack of aggressive German shepherds, a return could be imminent.

However, all of this is speculation, as the developers at Infinity Ward usually reveal very little about upcoming content, apart from multiplayer modes, maps, and weapons for the new seasons. What we already know about the new Season 4, you can find here.

The rarest skin in Fortnite is back in the shop after more than 920 days

Eilyn Rapp Eilyn Rapp Reading time 2 minutes

The rarest Fortnite skin “Recon Expert” has returned to the item shop today, May 27, 2020, after more than 920 days. It was considered one of the OG skins.

What kind of skin is this? This skin is the absolute OG skin: Recon Expert. It first appeared in the item shop on October 30, 2017.

After that, it was only added to the shop one more time on November 12, 2017. Until this day, Recon Expert never appeared again in Fortnite’s item shop.

Thus, it counted among the rarest skins in Fortnite.

Recon Expert was among the rarest skins in Fortnite

Recon Expert is back!

What’s new? The skin from the old days of Fortnite returned today, May 27, 2020, to Fortnite’s item shop. It celebrates its return after a full 927 days without being seen in the shop.

Players who have long wanted to buy this skin now finally have the chance. The skin is available in the item shop for 1,200 V-Bucks, which is approximately 12 euros.

Recon Expert is back in the item shop

Where is the style variant for OGs?

It is not the first time that rare skins return to the item shop. However, when these outfits returned, there was an exclusive style variant for players who purchased the skin at the time of its initial release.

This was meant to show that the players are among the absolute veterans of Fortnite and have been there from the beginning. It was the same with Halloween skins like Skull Trooper when it returned to the item shop.

von Eilyn Rapp

Recon Expert has received another style variant where she no longer wears a hat, but both the OG variant and the new one are available for all players to purchase.

This means Recon Expert is officially no longer one of the OG skins, as it can no longer be distinguished whether someone purchased it in Season 1 Chapter 1 or not. This is likely to annoy some players who bought this skin at the very beginning. Probably, everyone will be running around with this skin, just like it was with the return of Skull Trooper.

These predictions come from futhead:

Pokémon GO announces GO Fest 2020 – This time completely from home

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO there will also be a big GO Fest in 2020. But instead of having to go somewhere, you can experience it completely from home.

Niantic announced: The big live event of Pokémon GO, the so-called GO Fest, will be playable at home for everyone in 2020. Due to the Corona crisis, you won’t have to travel to a specific location but can play in your hometown.

Niantic has not yet announced exact details, but there is already a date you can remember.

When is the GO Fest 2020? On July 25 and 26, you can enjoy the GO Fest. However, you will need a ticket, but you can benefit from the bonuses on both days.

GO Fest 2020 from Home – What is currently known

How does such an event work? So far, it’s not entirely clear. However, it will certainly be comparable to the previous Safari Zones that could be enjoyed from home. There, event Pokémon simply spawned for ticket holders at their locations.

Last year, there were 3 GO Fests in Chicago, Dortmund, and Yokohama.

What is known so far? Niantic mentions a new special research task that can be solved. Additionally, there should be “great bonuses and Pokémon”. There are no details on this yet.

What does the image tell us? Previously, the image of the GO Fest revealed a lot about the spawns. This time, you can see Pikachu, Myrapla, Kinoso, Alola-Kokowei, and Pummeluff. The only Pokémon among them that does not yet have a Shiny variant is Kinoso. Therefore, an introduction of it seems possible.

A regional Pokémon that usually appears at such events is not yet seen. Likewise, Icognito, which is also a classic event spawn, is absent.

When will there be more information? In the coming weeks, more information about the GO Fest from home should be available. Additionally, there are supposed to be more surprises in summer that Niantic wants to share.

First of all, you can challenge Reshiram for the first time in raids. It’s definitely worth it because Reshiram is the best Fire starter in the game.

Twitch rewards 2 of its biggest stars with new contracts and likely a lot of money

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

The streaming platform Twitch has signed new multi-year contracts with 3 streamers, including 2 absolute stars of the platform. Jaryd “Summit1g” Lazar is the third largest streamer on Twitch. He can make games like Sea of Thieves a hit all on his own. Fortnite expert Brett “Dakotaz” Hoffmann is number 7.

What kind of contracts are these? The exact details of the contracts are not known. However, it is known that they are “multi-year content deals” that streamers have signed with Twitch.

As Dakotaz explains, his deal is an “exclusive” deal, and one can assume that exclusivity applies to all contracts.

It seems Twitch’s goal is to bind the streamers to itself. Since August 2019, platforms like Mixer, Facebook, or YouTube have been trying to attract established Twitch streamers to stream exclusively on their platforms.

Twitch is responding by offering streamers contracts that are likely better compensated than previous agreements. For example, streamer Pokimane hinted at a deal that bound her to Twitch in March.

Summit1g – the largest “classic gaming streamer”

This is the most important contract: For quite some time, it was uncertain whether shooter specialist summit1g might do a “Ninja” and switch to Mixer.

Summit1g has been something like “THE classic gaming streamer” on Twitch since Ninja and shroud left. He has 5.3 million followers. Only the significantly younger streamers Tfue and Myth, who grew up with Fortnite, have more than he does. Summit1g has virtually nothing to do with Fortnite.

https://twitter.com/summit1g/status/1265326840077414400
summit1g stays where he is: on Twitch.

Summit1g was previously a CS:GO professional and is known for making games popular on Twitch all on his own. For example, he established a trend for Sea of Thieves in January 2019, was active as a roleplayer in GTA 5, or in Escape from Tarkov, where he can wonderfully despair.

Recently, he proved his market value when he became one of the largest streamers in Valorant.

Summit1g had already been asked whether he would switch to Mixer. At that time, he reassured his fans for later.

Recently it was only said that fans should not worry. Everything would be okay. Now he announces his stay on Twitch.

Dakotaz, the different Fortnite streamer

This is the Fortnite streamer who stays: Brett “Dakotaz” Hoffmann is number 7 on Twitch with 4.3 million followers. However, he is a different kind of Fortnite streamer than one is used to seeing.

Unlike Tfue, TimTheTatman, or Ninja, who often draw attention with various stories, Dakotaz does not belong to a large clique, but does his own thing.

https://twitter.com/dakotaz/status/1265414182465347590
On Twitter, Dakotaz thanks his fans.

Dakotaz was once involved in a conflict with Ninja, which showed that he is not afraid of big names. Dakotaz made it clear: Leave me alone, I have my own thing going on and don’t need your comments.

Dakotaz is a streamer who puts little emphasis on self-promotion and impresses with his gameplay. He is one of the few Twitch stars who play without their image being shown.

Here in the Twitch clip, you can hear Dakotaz with his rough voice talking to a boy who is apparently going through a tough time.

This is the third streamer that Twitch retains: The third streamer is slightly smaller. This is Josh “JoghOG” Beaver. Number 35 on Twitch with 1.74 million followers.

This is a classic shooter streamer who has spent the last 90 days playing Call of Duty: Warzone, Valorant, and Escape from Tarkov.

The agency is considered a driver behind the deals

This is behind the deals: All 3 streamers are with the large agency “Loaded.” The agency is the major driver behind the “streamer” deals in recent months. Former Twitch employees are behind the agency.

The development was initiated by the switch of Loaded client Tyler “Ninja” Blevins and has not ended since.

Loaded-Streamer
With these 6 streamers, Loaded advertised in 2019. Meanwhile, 5 of them have signed major contracts.

The agency has now secured lucrative contracts for some of its popular streamers, either with Mixer (Ninja, shroud) or with Twitch (Lirik, summit1g, TimTheTatman).

The entire sequence of transfers was originally triggered by Tyler “Ninja” Blevins in August 2019. Since then, a new era has begun for streamers and streaming platforms, where the platforms compete for the biggest talents.

CoD Warzone removes really exciting mode again – after just 4 days

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 3 minutes

Call of Duty: Warzone had a short-lived special mode that was very different from the actual Warzone. However, it disappeared again after only a few days – much to the chagrin of many fans.

What kind of mode is this? It is about the mode “BR-3er klassisch,” which was introduced with the playlist update on Friday, May 22. The classic BR mode returned to the roots of Battle Royale and removed all the features that make Warzone special:

Call fo Duty Modern Warfare Vorratsstation
Supply stations? Not in the classic mode!

In the classic mode, you had to play with the weapons and items you found. Buying loadouts or other important items was not possible. You would also have to watch your team if you died, as respawns were also removed.

The mode has now disappeared again. With the playlist update on May 26, BR-3er klassisch was removed. It was only active for a mere four days.

Players liked the mode – But not everyone

This appealed to the players: Many fans of the mode found it excessive that there are constantly drones (UAVs) and other killstreaks in the air in Warzone. This was not the case in the classic mode. Additionally, many players were likely happy not to have to deal with the annoying new Gulag weapons.

Moreover, the absence of perks meant that players could not constantly hide somewhere. There was no “Ghost” perk that allowed players to hide from the heart rate sensor, the best tactical item in Warzone, even though the sensor is not viewed positively by everyone.

More on the topic
CoD Warzone: The best perks and equipment for your personal loadouts
von Maik Schneider

In a thread on reddit, it is stated: “Classic BR would probably be perfect without the heart rate sensor and thermal sights.” However, other players disagree and say the mode is already perfect. Sensors are only a problem for campers.

MeinMMO readers were also enthusiastic about the mode and are now disappointed that it had to be removed again. Frank for instance says: “At least it could have stayed until the end of the season.” Season 3 is expected to end on June 2, and Season 4 will start on June 3. You can find out what we already know about Season 4 here.

Season 4 may bring the legendary Captain Price as a playable operator.

This annoyed the players: However, there was also criticism of the classic BR. The reddit user objectsubjectly writes: “Classic BR Trios remind us how boring regular BR modes are.”

He misses exactly all that which has disappeared from Warzone in this mode. While there are many players who agree that they like Warzone better, there are also a lot of counter-statements.

Apparently, the feedback for the classic mode was largely positive. Whether and when it will return, we cannot say yet. Given the positive response, a classic mode in the future is at least not ruled out, at least temporarily. Until then, you should check out the last update before Season 4, as it is really worth it.

Dead by Daylight: How Evil is the Kill Animation of Pyramid Head

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Pyramid Head in Dead by Daylight has a gruesome Mori animation. We show how he quickly eliminates his victims from the game.

When a new killer is released in Dead by Daylight, one of the highlights is the Mori animation. Also, “Pyramid Head” aka “The Executioner” comes with such an animation that he can use to remove particularly unwanted survivors from the match. As usual, this animation is quite gruesome, but it fits well with the killer from the “Silent Hill” universe.

What is the Mori animation? The Mori animation is a special execution that killers can perform under specific conditions. Usually, this is done by using a special perk or offerings. This Mori execution is different for every killer. Each killer has their own animation for it that suits their character.

This shows the Mori animation: The Executioner lifts his victim by the collar off the ground and hoists it into the air. A metal coil emerges from the ground, which is shortly thereafter wrapped in barbed wire and tightly secures itself around the survivor. The Executioner then swings his sword and drives it directly into his victim’s stomach. The huge blade is rotated once and then pulled out again, before the metal coil dissolves and the (formerly) survivor falls lifeless to the ground.

The nasty Mori animations of the other killers we have here:

By the way: The Executioner also has a second “small” Mori, which is directly built into his abilities. When a survivor has the debuff “Torture,” is lying on the ground, and would die next Halen, the Executioner can directly kill this survivor. He then strikes with the sword once along his victim and makes short work of it.

What do you think of “Pyramid Head” and his Mori animation? Cool and interesting? Or rather boring compared to other killers?

Fortnite players want controllers to be weaker, but they are now even stronger

Eilyn Rapp Eilyn Rapp Reading time 2 minutes

In Fortnite, players were waiting for a nerf that was supposed to weaken controllers on PC. However, after a new update, the aim assist seems to have become even stronger.

This is the situation: After update 12.60, it became known that Epic wanted to tweak the aim assist for controllers on PC. Players like pro Ninja had complained that it was way too strong and unfair to mouse and keyboard players.

With the update 12.61, which was rolled out on May 26, 2020, the nerf was supposed to happen. Now players notice that the exact opposite seems to be the case.

It is said to now even work at long distances and can track opponents through walls. The Fortnite pro Clix posted a video on Twitter, where they test whether the aim assist is still active at 100 meters distance:

Indie shooter with thrilling 3-phase concept starts alpha – This is how it plays out

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

Redhill Games has announced a new online shooter called Nine to Five, which is reminiscent of CS: GO or Valorant but has some interesting features.

What is Nine to Five? The multiplayer shooter places you in the near future where corporations reign and the dirty work is done by mercenaries. You are such a mercenary and must take care of various contracts with your team in shifts in Nine to Five. Essentially, you experience a workday as a mercenary – hence the name Nine to Five.

You will be in teams of 3 and must survive three phases per match to achieve your goal. Each phase presents a unique task to accomplish. Teamplay is of utmost priority. During the rounds, you will face three other teams, each aiming to complete their own objectives and standing in your way.

A match is expected to take about 15 minutes.

An exciting concept

How does the shooter play? Based on the first gameplay video, it strongly resembles Counter-Strike: Global Offensive or Valorant. A comparison to Rainbow Six: Siege also seems appropriate. However, Nine to Five looks better and more modern than CS: GO or Valorant. And for early gameplay, the game runs very smoothly and quickly.

This is how a match unfolds in the multiplayer shooter Nine to Five.

What is special about Nine to Five? Apart from the interesting 3v3v3 setup, the later gameplay phases change based on how you proceed and how you perform in the individual phases.

What you achieve in a phase and how you proceeded affects the subsequent phase. Thus, the matches always play out differently. You must constantly adapt to the changing circumstances.

Nine to Five is designed so that while individual matches last only 15 minutes, each player can play an important role during that time and is significantly responsible for the outcome of each phase. You should feel important and capable of achieving something in that relatively short time.

When will the game be released? The developers have not yet announced a release date. However, a closed alpha begins on June 4.

Here you can sign up: You can sign up for the alpha on the official Nine to Five website. With a bit of luck, you will get access and can see for yourself whether the online shooter has what it takes to compete with Valorant and CS: GO.

Xbox head about Xbox Series X: You haven’t understood the true power yet

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

Xbox Chief Phil Spencer likes to talk about the Xbox Series X. He has now explained that users cannot recognize the true strength of the Xbox Series X. And according to Spencer, there is a valid reason for that.

Where does the information come from? Phil Spencer, Xbox Chief at Microsoft, spoke on the podcast Talking Games With Reggie And Harold (via Soundcloud.com) about the new Xbox Series X, which is set to be released at the end of 2020.

What does Spencer say? In the podcast, Spencer explained that you cannot show the true power of the Xbox Series X in a video. Because the true power is not the great graphics, but the fast and stable frame rates. He states:

One of the things I have talked about publicly, … but what is hard to convey is the way it feels to play games on a box where the frame rates are higher and more stable. Showing the frame rate [fluidity] in video form is simply impossible. How do you show how something feels?

Phil Spencer, Xbox Chief on Talking Games With Reggie And Harold, via: Gamespot.com

Spencer on Xbox Series X: “Showing frame rates in video form is simply impossible”

He also adds: “We have reached a point where the immersion, which is achieved through mobility and other things, now matches the visual capabilities we have. How do you convey that to people in this kind of world?”

What is the reason for that? The frame rate you see on YouTube, for example, is not necessarily the same frame rate that the original video offers.

Websites like YouTube can reduce the video quality, for instance. Uploaders also have the option to adjust the frame rate when rendering the video.

Therefore, according to Spencer, it is impossible to show the real strength of NextGen in video, and you have to see it unfiltered on screen.

What Phil Spencer does not address: Those who want to experience stable and fluid frame rates today must start their gaming PC, as 60 fps are no longer anything special here.

The frame rates on the console now simply achieve what has been completely normal for PC gamers, and which console players have only dreamed of so far. Anyone who has ever played a shooter or a racing game at 30 fps or less knows: It is not really fun.

Xbox Chief Spencer is already playing at home on an Xbox Series X, as he explained once on Twitter. It is quite possible that he has already gained some experience with the new console.

Xbox Chief Spencer also likes to talk about the Xbox Series X:

PS Plus: Leak probably reveals the 2nd free game in June – “Star Wars” fans rejoice

The first PS Plus game for June is already confirmed: Today, Sony will officially announce the monthly PS Plus free games for June 2020 around 5:30 PM.

One game is already confirmed – namely Call of Duty: World War 2. PlayStation already announced this via its official Twitter account on 25.05. However, not only did the announcement occur earlier than usual, but CoD: WWII is already available for free to all subscribers in the PS Store – a week earlier than usual.

By the way, if you were lucky and started the download in time yesterday, you might still snag 1,100 CoD points for free, which you can then spend in Warzone or CoD: Modern Warfare. More about this here: PS Plus gives away points for CoD MW & Warzone, but only if you were quick enough.

Will a Star Wars title be the second free game for PS Plus in June?

What’s the deal with the leak? Recently, the relatively small channel PlayStation Gaming uploaded a new video. It appears to be a teaser promoting the Days of Play and also hints at the PS Plus games for June.

Which game is mentioned in the leak? The clip features both Call of Duty: WW 2 and the shooter Star Wars Battlefront II – much to the delight of many Star Wars fans.

In addition to a comprehensive multiplayer mode, the game also offers an impressive story for single-player fans. If the leak turns out to be true, many players are expected to be very excited.

Thus, there would be 2 major shooters available for free with PS Plus in June.

How likely is the leak? Since this is a leak, you should treat the presumed information with caution until the official presentation this evening.

However, even though the channel is relatively small – the video appears authentic and official. If it were a hoax, the creator would have gone to great lengths for a short “joke.” It takes significantly more work to fake a video than just an image or a screenshot.

So it is quite possible that the leak is accurate. And we won’t have to wait much longer. Today around 5:30 PM German time, Sony should officially announce the entire PS Plus lineup for June 2020.

Could there still be 2 games despite the early Call of Duty: WW II? The leaked video only shows two games. However, some believe it’s possible that Call of Duty: WW II is a bonus and that 2 more games could be announced today.

Normally, PS Plus offers 2 monthly free games for the PlayStation 4. However, there have been months where bonus games were also provided, for example, in February 2020. There, PS Plus subscribers received The Sims 4 and the BioShock Collection (which includes 3 games), as well as the VR shooter Firewall Zero Hour.

Whether Call of Duty was just a bonus or whether the 2 games shown in the video are actually the lineup will be officially revealed shortly.

By the way, until next week you can still secure the free titles for May with PS Plus: PS Plus May 2020: Grab 2 of the best simulations for PS4 now.

The new intro of ESO Greymoor is awesome, especially for Skyrim fans – Watch it here

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

ESO Greymoor has launched, the new addon of the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online. And players are currently especially excited about the in-game intro, which strongly resembles TES 5: Skyrim.

What happens in the intro? Your hero awakens in a cart. The driver greets you with the words: “Hey, you’re finally awake!” In German: “Hey, endlich seid ihr wach!”

Afterward, you see some impressions of the area Western Skyrim, and then you experience a brutal attack on the cart that starts the story.

The intro of ESO: Greymoor resembles TES 5: Skyrim.

Why is this so good? Those who know The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim from 2011 experience a deja vu. Because Skyrim begins almost identically. In Bethesda’s single-player RPG, you also awaken in a cart. However, a fellow traveler speaks to you with the words “Hey, finally you are awake!”

MeinMMO author Jürgen Horn tells about his first time with Greymoor:

I, Jürgen, just wanted to check if the game was running yesterday. When I started the game and the intro suddenly appeared, I seriously had to think about whether I had accidentally started Skyrim. I was really dumbfounded for a few seconds.

Der Jürgen

In contrast, Andreas Bertits, the author of this news, of course saw through it immediately and understood what was going on!

Players had already joked that the expansion Greymoor would definitely start similarly to Skyrim and that it would be funny if the player wakes up in a cart. There is even a funny meme that you can check out in the official forum.

This is how the intro of The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim unfolds.

What do players think of the intro? This homage to Skyrim is well received in the community. Players feel immediately put in the right mood and the familiar atmosphere sets in right away.

  • Aelarr writes on reddit: “We joked about it and they actually did it.”
  • DeliciousEnergyDrink says: “I almost expected it, but I had to laugh when I started the game and saw the intro.”
  • Lord-Treesus-Christ writes: “They did it. They turned the meme into reality. Those glorious scoundrels.”
  • TheAngryChickenWing ironically says: “This is not immersive enough. The cart doesn’t glitch and doesn’t spin in circles, as it did in Skyrim.”
  • hufflepuk explains: “I am so excited because they actually did it. This is all I ever wanted from the Greymoor intro.”

What do you think of the intro of ESO: Greymoor? If you can even play at all. Because the MMORPG faced some significant issues at launch. Zenimax is, however, working to get everything under control. The launch of an ESO addon indeed attracts many players, which overloads the servers.

Grenade Launcher in CoD Warzone: Damn Rare, but Incredibly Strong

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

The grenade launcher in Call of Duty: Warzone is arguably one of the rarest weapons ever. A clip now shows how powerful this weapon is and why it can decide entire rounds.

This is the grenade launcher: Many players may not have seen this weapon at all or only a few times in the Warzone. It fires multiple grenades in quick succession and can be quite deadly.

With a very low chance, you can find the powerful launcher in crates, and due to its high rate of fire, it can be a strong help in any kind of trouble in the battle royale. A clip now shows just how powerful the device really is.

Clip shows the grenade launcher is a monster in the Warzone

This is the video: The clip already has over 5,000 upvotes, showcasing the full power of the grenade launcher:

In the clip, the player takes out several teams with just the grenade launcher. A few shots are enough to eliminate a bunch of players. Even a vehicle is destroyed by the grenade launcher with just one shot.

What makes the grenade launcher so strong? This weapon is significantly faster than a rocket launcher and has a similar amount of damage. With just one shot, the launcher can blow away all players in a small radius. They often can’t even draw their weapon before they are blown away.

Additionally, the grenade launcher is also good at medium range and can take out vehicles. Whether in close quarters or at range – with this weapon, you can deal damage quickly and effectively. You can find more information about all the launchers here:

von Maik Schneider

What do other players say about it? Despite the weapon being so powerful, there are almost only positive comments about the launcher. It’s just damn rare, so it can afford to be this strong.

For example, user dclose20111 writes: “The effort it takes to find/get one is absolutely worth the overpowering strength. I wouldn’t complain if I got my butt kicked by one because I know the chances of actually finding one.”

SatinyMorpheus mentions that he has found only 6 in a total of 1700 matches. The chance of getting the powerful weapon is therefore quite low.

What other weapons should you use? The number of available weapons in Warzone is long. We have compiled a list of the best weapons for your personal loadouts.

However, there are also underrated weapons that are actually quite strong. We have introduced you to 3 underrated weapons that you’d normally leave behind, but which are actually quite powerful. This way, you can surprise your opponents.

ESO for Stadia gets Crossplay – What it means for PC players

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 3 minutes

The Elder Scrolls Online along with the new chapter Greymoor finally has a release date on Google’s game streaming service Stadia. It is set to launch in June. The Stadia version will even feature crossplay with the PC version.

What is Stadia? Stadia is a game streaming service from Google. This means that you do not run games directly on your computer. Instead, the games run on server farms, and only the results of your actions are streamed to your device.

Therefore, you can play Stadia games on almost any computer as well as on your smart TV or mobile device. You only need a good internet connection. In addition to various indie games, there are also AAA titles like Destiny 2 or Doom Eternal on Stadia.

When will ESO come to Stadia? ESO was already introduced as part of the game lineup before the launch of Stadia. However, it has not been available until now. That is about to change, as ESO is set to finally launch on Stadia on June 16, 2020. The game will be part of the Stadia Pro lineup. This means that Stadia subscribers will receive it for free as long as their subscription remains active. Stadia Pro costs 10 Euros per month.

Also, the new Greymoor will be available on Stadia, although not for free.

What are the contents of Stadia ESO? ESO on Stadia will have the same content as the current PC version. This means you can purchase and play everything, including Greymoor there. Initially, only the base game and Morrowind are included for free; the rest must be purchased or unlocked via ESO Plus.

Can you play with other platforms? A massive MMORPG like ESO needs a large player base. Therefore, ESO has crossplay with the PC/Mac version. Additionally, you can transfer your existing progress from PC/Mac to Stadia.

These are the advantages of ESO on Stadia

Why should you play ESO on Stadia instead of on PC? The Stadia version has the following advantages, which PC/Mac players should consider:

No more long downloads: Since Google’s servers always have the latest version of ESO, you don’t have to endure the gigantic and slow downloads every time there’s an update. While there will be the obligatory server downtime, the game will be instantly up-to-date and playable. Anyone who wanted to “just quickly play a round of ESO” and then was stuck waiting for a massive download will certainly appreciate this feature.

Complete routine tasks on the go: There are countless tasks in ESO that should be done every day, but are not very exciting. This includes the daily trip to the stable master, claiming the login reward, or the daily crafting tasks. With Stadia, you can now also complete these on compatible mobile devices while on the go, or by quickly logging into ESO via Chrome during your lunch break. This way, you’ve already taken care of these tedious routine duties and can explore the game world or run instances with your guild in peace in the evening.

eso-free-abo
Routine tasks, like claiming daily rewards, can also be completed on the go with Stadia.

Game on the couch without a console: ESO is popular among console players because there are not many complex MMORPGs that can be played with a controller from the couch on a TV. However, since Stadia runs effortlessly and even in 4K resolution on the TV via Chromecast, and you can also use a controller, there is nothing stopping you from enjoying ESO on the couch on Stadia. So, if you appreciate this form of gaming but do not want to start new on the PS4 or Xbox, just use your PCV account via Stadia and play on the couch.

ESO runs on Stadia even on weak machines: If your PC has just barely managed to run ESO and you have had to compromise on graphics, then Stadia might also be a good alternative. Since only the data stream is received and the main processing power takes place elsewhere, you do not need a powerful CPU or other hardware to play ESO properly.

However, the Stadia version is likely to have a disadvantage compared to the PC version. You will probably not be able to install addons or UI mods. The games are not installed on your end, so no local modifications are possible. Therefore, anyone who cannot imagine playing without modifications will have to stick with the PC version.

LoL will soon display ads in-game during tournaments – Looks surprisingly good

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 2 minutes

In League of Legends, there will be a new type of advertisement in the future. In-game banners will be adorned with company logos. This is common in traditional sports, and it actually looks good.

What kind of advertising is this? On June 12, the European LoL league will return from its break and continue its operations in the Summer Split. As part of this, the new advertising will be introduced in the game.

This allows companies to purchase banner spots, which will then be displayed in the Summoner’s Rift with their logos.

The first partner to be won for this initiative is MasterCard. The associated banners look surprisingly good and even fit into the game, as a picture on Twitter shows:

New Advertising Spaces, but No Hindrance for Players

How does the advertising process work? Riot claims to want to enhance the growth of the leagues and teams, taking inspiration from traditional sports venues.

It is customary there to see advertising banners from various partners along the sidelines.

The new banners are intended to be just the first product with which Riot Games aims to “enhance the viewer experience in esports.”

Will the professionals be distracted by this? The in-game banners featuring the logos of advertising partners are only visible to spectators of the game.

The professionals, who are in the midst of the tournament, will only see the gray banners as before and will not be distracted by the advertisements.

This is important because professional players are quite sensitive to changes. For example, Martin “Wunder” Hansen complained about new chairs used in the tournaments.

LoL-AKRacing
The official gaming chair of the LoL league LEC.

How will the league continue? Due to Corona, the LEC was temporarily suspended and then returned as an online format. This changed the situation for the players, although G2 Esports still managed to impress in the finals.

The Summer Split, on the other hand, is supposed to take place as an offline tournament in the studios. However, there will be no live audience present, and the production team will also be slightly reduced.

Particularly interesting could be the league in America. There, Doublelift returned to his old team that he had actually wanted to destroy after a disappointing season.

Pokémon GO: First raid hour with Reshiram today – What you need to know

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

Today, May 27, the first raid hour with Reshiram starts in Pokémon GO. We provide information on the start time, counters, and other important data.

This is the raid hour: Since early May, there has been a raid hour every Wednesday in Pokémon GO again. After the last potential Shiny Pokémon found in raids, there is now a brand new and significantly more powerful Pokémon: Reshiram!

The Pokémon has been available in Germany since today and will appear right away in a raid hour.

Raid Hour with Reshiram – All Information

When does the raid hour start? The event begins as usual at 6:00 PM local time. Until 7:00 PM, you can encounter legendary raids at almost all gyms.

Counters for Reshiram

Which Pokémon should be used? Reshiram is of the Fire and Dragon type and thus vulnerable to Ground, Rock, and Dragon types. You should focus on these three types.

Without weather bonus, Rhyhorn, Rayquaza, and Rampardos are particularly effective. If the weather is favorable, you should focus on a specific type:

  • Sunny weather: Use especially Ground Pokémon
  • Windy weather: Dragon Pokémon are particularly strong
  • Partially cloudy: Rock-type Pokémon are the right choice here

A list of the best Pokémon against Reshiram can be found in our counter guide to the raid boss.

How many players are needed? Reshiram can already be defeated comfortably by three players. With the right weather, it can even be done by two players, but only with the best counters at level 40.

Are Reshiram raids worth it? Reshiram is the best Fire attacker in the game and therefore extremely worthwhile. You should definitely secure a few specimens. A detailed analysis of Reshiram’s usefulness can be found in another article of ours.

Wow, The Division 2 is really working on a new PvE mode and more story

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

Work on The Division 2 is not yet finished. A leak has revealed that Ubisoft is working on a new PvE mode that aims to bring high replayability. Additionally, more story content is coming in the form of Manhunt missions. This has now been officially confirmed.

This leak has caused a stir: We at MeinMMO reported on Monday, May 25, that a Reddit user found hints about two significant developments related to The Division 2 in new audio files:

  • Manhunt missions that tell a story for seasons 2, 3, and 4
  • the replayable mode “Skyscraper”, where players must fight through many floors of a high-rise building – such “endless” modes, where you have to complete levels, are also found in MMORPGs like Final Fantasy XIV

On Monday, it was still unclear whether this content would come to The Division 2 or if they were remnants of earlier plans that were long dead.

Ubisoft employee confirms plans

Here’s what a Ubisoft employee says about the story: In the Reddit thread, Chris Gansler, a Ubisoft employee, responded. According to him, the leak indeed contains spoilers.

The test build unfortunately contains much more content than intended. These are clearly story spoilers. While it’s not yet known whether all the story will be released, he emphasizes that users should use spoiler tags when discussing the audio files.

Apparently, the found story texts are current.

The new story really comes into play through “Manhunt missions”. These are quest lines starting at level 40 in Warlords of New York, telling new seasonal content. Completing a Manhunt and taking down a rogue agent rewards you with a skill mod.

If you want to read the story spoilers in English, you can do so here (via reddit).

Tom Clancy's The Division® 2_20200310145330
This is what a Manhunt looks like in The Division 2.

A mode with replayability is coming, but is still in the early stages

Here’s what Ubisoft says about the endless mode: Gansler states that Ubisoft wants to confirm that they are indeed working on “more content for The Division 2 outside of the seasons.” One of the current ideas is a PvE mode that caters to the desire for replayability.

They are currently in “early stages of development.” So the mode will not come soon.

Gansler says this is not “Underground 2.0,” as speculated on Reddit, but something standalone and unique. They do not want to simply copy modes from the first game.

The Division 2 has a very strange thing going on with rubber ducks
von Schuhmann

Here’s what it’s all about: Previously, it was uncertain whether Massive was still willing to invest “much more” in The Division 2, especially after the original game fell short of expectations. Warlords of New York could have been a conclusion, especially since little further information was known.

The fact that new modes are now actually being developed is a good sign for the series.

Rikers-Titelbild.v4
The world of The Division 2 is considered fantastic.

Even though The Division 2 is criticized for issues with lack of replayability, the tactical shooter has some advantages: The open world of the game is regarded as richly detailed and fascinating.

The developers have integrated many little nuances to make Washington, DC, and New York City feel alive: For example, foes like the Rikers quarrel and kill each other, even without the player intervening. This illustrates the raw, violence-ridden world in which The Division takes place.

ESO: Greymoor launched with massive problems – How does it look one day later?

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 3 minutes

ESO Greymoor has launched on PC. However, at the launch of the new, major addon of the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO), there were severe issues. It was nearly impossible to play. Has this improved since then?

When did the servers go online? The servers were briefly available yesterday, May 26, around 2 PM, but went offline again immediately when problems arose. Apparently, even those who had not purchased the Greymoor expansion were able to access the new area “Western Skyrim” for a while.

Around 7 PM, the servers went online again, but not for very long. Login issues, lags, and disconnects increased. Many players got stuck for an eternity on the login screen and never made it into the game. Around 11 PM, the servers were taken down again for maintenance.

After that, it was indeed possible to play during the night – at least for some. However, some who had bought the new chapter reported that they could not play it at all, as it was not recognized as purchased.

ESO Waitmoor
Players are already joking about the situation at the launch of ESO: Greymoor. The image comes from reddit.

What does the situation look like now? Since this morning, the situation has worsened again. While it was somewhat “good” to log in at night, the problems are once again increasing.

There are increasing reports of login failures and eternal loading screens again. Lags are also occurring more frequently.

Players still report that despite purchasing Greymoor, they cannot play the expansion, as it apparently is not recognized in their accounts.

A further maintenance of the servers is planned for the period between 10 AM and 12 PM. The update is now active, and the servers are back online. You can now seemingly log in without issues. If there are any further problems, we will keep you informed here.

“Never play on Patch day”

What do players think about the Greymoor launch? The mood is rather tense at the moment. Especially since apparently some players, despite purchasing the addon – and even the Collector’s Edition in some cases – cannot access the Western Skyrim area, while others seem to be able to enter without having bought the expansion. Some players are even reported to have received preorder bonuses.

However, this cannot be accurately verified at the moment. In the ESO forum, it is being discussed.

  • Beolund writes: “So now I can get into the game, unlike last night. But now I have various disconnects, sometimes can’t log in, or have very long loading screens… What on earth happened here?”
  • Zypheran even accuses Zenimax: “When Update 26 hit the test server, we had the same issues as yesterday. Login failures, massive lags, and disconnects. We even warned you, but there was no response, and the game went live with the problems.”
  • mako482 humorously comments on reddit: “We all know what a release day of a new expansion looks like… and yet we get frustrated every time it happens.”

Destiny 2: Mysterious Music in the Tower – Is the Season Finale Finally Coming?

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 3 minutes

In Destiny 2, the finale of Season 10 is still awaited – but the appropriate music is already here. What has happened with the reset? And what could we expect in the last 2 weeks?

Caution, possible spoilers! Continue at your own risk!

When will the finale finally arrive? With the weekly reset on May 26, many Guardians expected new events that would lead to the finale of Season 10. After all, the season of the Worthy ends in just under 2 weeks.

While the finale is still awaited a day after the reset. However, there are now 2 new hints in the game that it should be happening soon.

New music hints at the season finale: If you now fly to the Tower, the most important social space in Destiny 2, you will notice upon landing that something has changed – specifically, the music.

Upon arrival, you hear a dark, almost ominous melody that immediately makes you feel: something threatening is imminent.

The interesting thing is: The music did not change with the weekly reset in the evening but rather during the course of the day before the reset. Some Guardians were already talking about new sounds in the Tower. There were also isolated reports of other music on Io or in the Tangled Shore.

It is clear that something big, namely the season finale, is looming. And we may not have to wait until the next reset for it, as something may happen this week. Because the new music also came into play out of sync with the typical reset rhythm. Bungie shows that they are apparently not necessarily bound to the rigid reset cycle.

The Leviathan can now be seen from Earth: Another hint that the situation is intensifying is the position of the Leviathan, a colossal Cabal dreadnaught. The Cabal have directed it towards Earth, and as part of the seasonal story, we must prevent it together with Zavala, Ana Bray, and the Warmind Rasputin.

And after the reset, it looks like the time for action is imminent. Because the Leviathan can now even be seen from the Tower if you look closely at a certain time of day. It hides in the sunlight, but can be recognized with careful observation (or with some filters).

The situation is therefore escalating here as well. If we do not act, it may not even take until the next reset for the Leviathan to strike us. This also suggests that we may see or do something new in the context of the seasonal story this week.

What could happen at the finale? At the end of Season 10, essentially 2 storylines converge.

On one hand, there is the Leviathan, which is crashing down to Earth. We hope to avert this danger in Season 10 with the help of Warmind Rasputin. Some Guardians reported days ago (probably too early) about a new message asking them to help Rasputin destroy the Leviathan. And that’s likely where it’s headed. The outcome is still uncertain. Because there was a leak of a destroyed Tower that suggests our efforts may either fail or only partially succeed.

destiny 3 pyramid ships
The Fleet of Darkness

We also hope for help from Rasputin against a second major threat. Because on the other hand, there is the approaching Darkness with its massive and ever-growing fleet of pyramid ships. This continues the grand story from the Shadowkeep expansion, where we first encountered a ship of Darkness directly.

It is assumed that there will be an encounter with the Darkness by the end of Season 10, which has now passed Uranus with its ships. Thus, this mysterious enemy could already be introduced as a new foe for Season 11 or the new big autumn expansion.

What the new music in the Tower is hinting at is not clear. Although it could definitely match the Darkness in tone and could herald its arrival. But it could also relate to an impending disaster caused by the crashing Cabal ship. It remains exciting what exactly the new music foreshadows.

What do you think? Will we experience or initiate the seasonal finale this week? Or will the Darkness be seen within the next 2 weeks?
