How to get the new TOTSSF cards
TOTSSF from the Weekend League: Since there is currently no Team of the Week in FIFA 20 anymore, the TOTSSF cards replace the Weekend League rewards in the Player Picks. From 11 wins, you have the chance of strong TOTSSF cards from the respective week.
From Packs: However, TOTSSF cards could also be hidden in packs:
However, to pull a TOTS card from packs, you need a lot of luck. It is often wiser to buy the desired card on the FUT transfer market. However, prices there are relatively high.

In League of Legends, it is not uncommon for players to yell at each other or frustratedly hit their table or keyboard. Professional players like Jankos from G2 Esports also experience this, as he revealed. He sees no problem with it as long as it doesn’t go too far.
What does Jankos say? In a livestream, Marcin “Jankos” Jankowski, who with G2 Esports won the playoffs in Europe in April, mentions that it’s okay to be a bit annoyed or angry from time to time.
He illustrates with an example how he felt during the match, gets loud, and hits the table multiple times.
However, it is important not to overdo it with the tilt. Otherwise, you might lose your match for that very reason.

What is tilt anyway? The term “Tilt” originates, according to the English Wikipedia, from poker. It refers to a “state of mental or emotional confusion or frustration” in which players no longer play optimally or become too aggressive.
Another possible origin is pinball machines, which displayed the word “TILT” when players tried to cheat by jostling or hitting the machine.
Today, tilt is equated with “flipping out” or “losing one’s temper.” Players who are “tilted” often become very loud, hit objects, or throw them around the room.
“It’s useless and doesn’t help you win the game”
What exactly does Jankos say? At the beginning of the video, he explains directly why a bit of anger is okay and what would be an exaggerated reaction:
It’s okay to flip out a bit, you can flip out. But try not to smash your table.
The problem with anger is that you typically play worse when you are angry. And the worse you play, the angrier you become. Jankos also sees this issue:
I could do that too, but it’s useless and doesn’t help you. And the more you freak out, the more it affects you and the crazier you get […].
And that’s pointless, it won’t help you win the game.
He emphasizes that while calmness and composure are not guarantees for victories, they at least help oneself:
I’m not saying that you can win the game just by being calm. But at least for the sake of your mind and mental strength, you should train not to flip out over lost games, bad teammates, or poor decisions.

Jankos mainly gets annoyed about his own mistakes: As the professional player reveals in the stream, he gets especially frustrated about poor decisions or plays that come from himself.
Because he can change these things himself, while he has no influence over teammates or other factors. This likely happened to Jankos in the duel against team MAD Lions more often than not. G2 Esports surprisingly lost that match.
Even though it is sometimes difficult, calmness is certainly a better companion than tilt. The streamer Tyler1 is regarded as a prime example of bad and toxic behavior. Other well-known players like Trick2G are also known for loud yelling or the destruction of their keyboards.

Since Fallout 76 received the Wastelanders update, you can acquire new and special items with the new currency Gold Bars. MeinMMO explains where to find the vendors, how to farm Gold Bars, and what you can exchange them for.
What are Gold Bars? Gold Bars are a new currency introduced with the massive Wastelanders update on April 14, which you can exchange for rewards at various vendors.
You can only obtain the bars after you have played through the new Wastelanders story to a relatively advanced point and unlocked the NPC Sunny in the Waywards Diner.
From this point on, you have the opportunity to buy, farm, and spend Gold Bars at vendors to obtain blueprints, armor, and more. Our guide will provide you with all the details.
Gold Bar Vendors – What are the Bars Good For?
What do I get for Bars? As a reward for the bars, you currently receive mainly new blueprints for weapons, armor, or even a brand new Power Armor, the T-65. You need the blueprints for some new items, such as:
the Gauss Pistol
the Plasma Caster
the Secret Service Armor
The T-65 Power Armor (in the middle) is one of the rewards.
Some recipes from the old Vault 94 raid, which is now closed, have already been discovered by players at the vendors. The price of the recipes is currently between 750 and 1500 Gold Bars.
If you are interested in the new bow from Wastelanders, you do not need Gold Bars for that. You can simply buy the blueprint from the faction vendors for Caps.
Here are the locations of the vendors: There are a total of three Gold Bar vendors that you can find in Appalachia:
If you have reached the endgame of Wastelanders and want to obtain the new recipes, there are two ways to get Gold Bars:
You buy them
Or you earn them.
Both, however, are subject to a limit.
If you exhaust all avenues for obtaining Gold Bars, you should be able to collect about 1700 per week.
The Easy Way: Buy Gold Bars
The easiest way to get Gold Bars is simply to buy them. You can do this from Smiley in the Waywards, whom you should have unlocked after completing the main quest of Wastelanders.
At Smiley, you receive 50 Gold Bars for 1000 Caps each. However, you can only do this a maximum of six times per week, allowing for a maximum of 300 Gold Bars per week. In total, this will cost you 6000 Caps.
If you have too little money, too much time, or have already exhausted your supply of Gold Bars with Smiley, you can instead exchange Treasury Notes at the Gold Presses for Gold Bars.
The two Gold Presses are located in Crater (near Meg) and Foundation (across from Samuel). You can receive up to 200 Gold Bars per day for Notes.
You receive the Notes for completing daily faction quests from the Raiders and Settlers, and for completing events in Wastelanders. For each event, you receive between two and four Treasury Notes.
With Wastelanders, several new events were added that are particularly worthwhile, especially for higher-level players. For example, in “Radiation Rumble,” you are guaranteed to receive a legendary item as a reward. Events have generally undergone a revision and are now significantly more enjoyable and clearer. Everything that has changed in Fallout 76 since release to Wastelanders can be found here.

After the first Xbox 20/20 stream, many users were disappointed. Now Microsoft has reached out to these fans. They commented on the Xbox Inside stream via Twitter.
On May 7, 2020, Microsoft presented its first Xbox Inside stream. Many trailers were showcased. However, many fans were not impressed:
The official YouTube video has received 17,200 upvotes against about 22,400 downvotes. This trend was evident during the livestream.
What does the marketing manager say about the stream? Aaron Greenberg, the marketing manager for Xbox, has now reached out to the fans via Twitter.
In his Twitter post, he explains: “We definitely raised false expectations, that is on us. We welcome all feedback and promise that we and our team will learn from this.”

What was the problem with the stream? Many viewers were hoping to see how the Xbox Series X performs in action. Many wanted to finally see how powerful the hardware is. Because this plays a role alongside the price for many users.
Instead, Microsoft showed 13 trailers for games in the stream, some of which were even shown exclusively worldwide.
However, this was apparently not enough for the fans. They expected gameplay for the promised games on the Xbox Series X and did not receive it.
This is how Xbox players react: In some threads on reddit, Xbox players and fans are vigorously discussing the Xbox stream:
rocademiks writes: “Microsoft at least tried. And I wanted to give them the chance. But these trailers and the whole gameplay that is not shown on the console itself tires me.”
Players see Microsoft’s failure as an opportunity for the PS5. User ScubaSteve1219 explains: “This is a big moment for Sony and they hopefully take advantage of it. They just need to show a bit of gameplay, such as from Horizon [Zero Dawn] 2, and that would be far more impressive than anything we saw today.”
Almost a month after the announcement, the new ego-shooter MMO The Invitation has now launched its crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter. We show you what is currently known about the game, how it is being received, and how you can support the developers.
The Invitation Kickstarter campaign launched: After The Invitation was first presented in early April The Invitation is now taking the next step. The ambitious new MMO shooter project from the German developer tool1 started its funding campaign on the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter on May 6.
Until early June, you have the chance to become a backer and financially support the game and the devs in its development.
Here you can watch the Kickstarter trailer for The Invitation:

What is it about? The Invitation is an ambitious MMO first-person shooter that aims to bring new life to this otherwise established genre.
The story takes place in 2081 in a rundown part of Eastern Europe. Overall, our Earth is in pretty bad shape at this time, as people have access to new worlds and many have moved on.
As a result, only a few people, as well as aliens, remain on Earth, fighting over loot or important locations.
What makes The Invitation special: In addition to genre-typical shooter mechanics and loot, The Invitation will primarily focus on maximum player interaction:
For instance, players can challenge each other with quests – for assassinations or a joint raid
On the other hand, players can also hinder each other in completing missions and come into conflict
The Invitation is meant to be a PvX shooter, so PvE and PvP are mixed. An event can start as an attack on an AI enemy but later culminate in a massive PvP battle for valuable loot. There will also be permanent PvP events
Especially the player-created quests are expected to play a significant role. Whether you need specific resources, need help with a mission, or simply want to see a certain player dead – for all of that, you can commission your own quest.
This is also intended to bring in the fresh element, as player quests would be an exciting innovation that many other games have failed at.
By the way, The Invitation will feature permadeath. If you die, whether by an AI-controlled or human opponent, you will lose all your possessions.

When is the new MMO shooter going to be released? An alpha launch for the backers, i.e., supporters of the game, is planned for May 2021. There is currently no specific date for the release of the finished title, but that is likely still far off.
For which platforms will The Invitation be released? So far, only a PC release has been mentioned.
How is the new MMO shooter The Invitation being received?
Players are currently reacting quite divided to the announcement and the first details about The Invitation.
What is praised about The Invitation: Some say The Invitation already makes a very appealing impression in terms of graphics. The concept with a focus on player quests sounds quite exciting and promising.
They are curious to see how the title develops, are looking forward to more information and new material, and wish the developers much success.
What is viewed critically in The Invitation: Others, however, point out that several ambitious titles have already failed because of player quests.
Moreover, the little gameplay shown doesn’t offer much insight. So far, the game looks like a generic survival MMO similar to Rust and feels absolutely boring. Furthermore, the post-apocalyptic setting is already overdone for some.
Also, the fact that so little gameplay is shown makes some interested parties wary. After all, people don’t want to pump their money into something without knowing.
The Invitation on Kickstarter – How to get involved
What is the campaign about? With the campaign on Kickstarter, the developers hope to secure financial resources for the further development of The Invitation. They have set a goal of €120,000. As of May 8, 2 days after the campaign started, they are currently at €3,930.
How the development is supposed to proceed: With the Kickstarter campaign, the base game is financed, which is to serve as a foundation for further modular content. After that, further content is to be implemented into the base game in small steps in the form of so-called roadpoints, without interruption and for free.
How you can support the game and the developers: If you want to have more information about The Invitation or want to directly support the project financially, you can do so through
What you get for your support: If you become a backer, you will receive not only alpha access, all unlocked stretch goals, and a key for the final game but also exclusive in-game goodies like skins.
With a unique attachment, you can turn the weapon M4A1 in Call of Duty: Warzone into a killing machine for solo mode. Here are the pros and cons of the .458-SOCOM ammunition and a strong solo loadout.
The solo mode of Call of Duty: Warzone has its own rules and plays significantly different from the team experience. Therefore, it makes sense to create specific setups and loadouts for your outings in Battle Royale.
The M4A1 offers an ammunition attachment that has found its niche here and allows you to rack up really fast kills in solo BR. The shooter YouTuber “jackfrags” presents his solo setup in an English YT video and is excited about the range and lethality of his setup (via youtube).
What does the setup look like? A key element is the ammunition attachment “.458-SOCOM 10 round magazine”. Added to this are a suppressor and attachments for better aiming:
Muzzle: Suppressor (Monolith)
Barrel: M16 Grenadier
Optics: Small sight for aiming
Underbarrel: Command Foregrip
.458-SOCOM 10 round magazine
Why is it so strong? With the .458 caliber, you have higher damage and more range. The time-to-kill (TTK) is reduced by nearly 20% compared to the regular M4 ammunition. For opponents with full armor, you need a minimum of 480 milliseconds instead of 576.
This brings the M1A4 very close to the top value for automatic weapons in Battle Royale. The submachine gun AUG achieves 440 milliseconds and is therefore considered the best weapon in Warzone. However, with the SOCOM-M4, you have high precision and accuracy. Here the AUG has its weaknesses, which become shaky even at medium distances.
Due to its versatility, the M4A1 is already extremely strong and popular. With the attachment, the assault rifle now serves another target group. The complete analysis of the TTK values of almost all Warzone weapons can be found here:
Why should I only use it in BR solo? However, the setup has a significant disadvantage, making it almost only interesting for the solo mode of Battle Royale: 10 rounds in the magazine.
For players with 3 armor plates, you need 6 body hits. So you can easily empty a magazine on one enemy. If a teammate of the eliminated soldier comes around the corner, you no longer have enough firepower to take him down immediately unless you land a few strong headshots.
If you like playing solo, try out this M4 setup and test it. The small magazine requires a bit of adjustment, but the low recoil and high range allow you to land good hits immediately. A challenging but absolutely awesome setup that should help you in BR solo.
CoD Warzone: Solo loadout for the M4A1-SOCOM
What loadout fits with it? In solo mode, almost everything revolves around the 1vs1 combat. Many solo players approach the fight very cautiously, sometimes staying longer in a house or looking for safe corners to survive the next circle. Therefore, it is also important for you to be detected as little as possible.
Why these perks? “Ghost” should be set when you are playing solo. This way, you do not appear on the heartbeat sensor, and drones will not give away your location. Gunfire disables the effect for a few seconds, though. Since you cannot take “Overkill” with you, look for a second primary weapon in the match. A fast submachine gun fits well with the M4 setup.
“Cold-Blooded” makes you harder to see for popular thermal sights, and “Eager” lets you switch weapons faster – helpful if the enemy is still standing after the 10 shots. With the blue and yellow perk, you generally have more flexibility.
You can swap one of the two perks for an anti-explosive extra. If you want to clear an occupied house, the entrenched players often like to use mines to protect themselves. With “Hardline,” you take less damage here, and with “Scout,” you can see and even hack the mines.
Why C4 and heartbeat sensor? With the C4, you can defend against vehicles and with a well-placed window throw, startle or take down camping enemies.
Since some players forgo “Ghost” to take a modified secondary weapon into the fight with “Overkill,” you can scout areas and learn the approximate position of some enemies. The sensor is one of the strongest tactical items in Warzone and can also be an invaluable aid in solo mode.

In Valorant there is an exceptionally good weapon with the expensive assault rifle Vandal. Learn here why the rifle is so good and in which situations it’s worth using.
What is special about the Vandal? In the beta of Valorant, assault rifles are the top weapons. Because the assault rifles have decent damage values, hit at range, and are quite precise. This makes them optimal all-rounders that can help you master any situation with a bit of skill.
Besides the Phantom, the Vandal is the top assault rifle in the game. The weapon is among the top price category of assault rifles and mainly impresses with high damage at any range. But let’s take a close look at the gun.
If you want a rating of all weapons, you can find it here:
The stats of the Vandal: Here are the attributes of the Vandal at a glance.
Cost:
2,900
Magazine:
25
Wall penetration:
Medium
Rate of fire (Primary/Secondary):
9.25/8.32 shots per second
Damage 0 – 50 meters (Body/Head/Leg):
39/156/33
Primary fire mode:
Fully automatic
Alternate fire mode:
Zoom mode
What is special about the Vandal? The Vandal is often compared by Counter-Strike veterans to the AK-47. Indeed, it resembles the Russian cultural icon somewhat and also has a similarly characteristic dull gunshot sound.
Pro
Good range
No damage drop-off up to 50 meters
Optimal for short bursts
Contra
Lower rate of fire
Difficult to control and high recoil pattern
Smaller magazine
But the highlight of the Vandal is that it deals consistent damage at higher distances. Whether you hit from one or 50 meters: the opponent always receives full damage. Headshots are preferred here, as they almost always reliably kill, regardless of what armor the opponent wears. But the Vandal is deadly even with body shots:
Hits to kill without armor: 3
Hits to kill with light armor: 3
Hits to kill with heavy armor: 4
What to watch out for: Since the Vandal tends to pull up quickly due to the high recoil, you should only use it with short bursts (tapping). The recoil pattern is very chaotic. The more you shoot, the higher the shot pattern “climbs” upwards, eventually wildly swaying left and right. So think of a sort of flat tree. Anyone wildly firing will just waste the already scarce ammunition. Especially against an opponent with the more precise Phantom, you will clearly be at a disadvantage.
The recoil pattern of the Vandal. Source: InvenGlobal
So you see: You practically always get three shots (which are almost always lethal) centered when you just fire briefly. This is particularly effective in zoom mode, as the rate of fire and the recoil tend to decrease. But even here, you should only make short bursts.

Here you can see the somewhat wilder spray pattern of the Vandal, which makes the weapon harder to control. Mobile users start from 5:35.
In these situations, you should take the Vandal: The Vandal scores particularly well at medium range, as it also deals solid damage there. Compared to the major competitor Phantom, the solid damage at any range is a big advantage.
In close combat, you can also aim for the torso, as the recoil pattern rises up anyway and often creates headshots. However, always remember that you only have 25 shots and it’s better to conserve ammunition.
Which agents should use the Shorty? Basically, the Vandal is suitable for every agent in Valorant. Ideally, you should play the weapon with heroes who also act at medium range, so agents like Brimstone, Cypher, Sova, or Sage. Be sure to be cautious when visibility obstruction is in play. Wildly shooting through clouds is not sensible due to the low rate of fire and small magazine.
Are you interested in the big comparison between Vandal and Phantom? Then read our article comparing Phantom and Vandal and find out which of the two top-tier assault rifles pro streamer shroud prefers in his streams.

In Pokémon GO there are free items worth $5 to collect again. To do this, you need to enter a promo code, which this time is a bit trickier to obtain.
Update May 8 at 6:00 PM: The code seems to have expired. Most trainers report that the promotion has already been removed from the Samsung website. However, it is possible that it will return in a few days.
What items are available? A total of 39 items are waiting for you in the package. This includes 35 Poké Balls, 2x Incense, and a Snorlax.
While previously in such promotions you only had to redeem a promo code, this time it is a bit more complicated. You need to log in on the Samsung website to obtain a code. However, you don’t have to be an Android user for this.
How to redeem the promo code and receive the items
Here you get the items: This time, the way to the free items is a bit more complicated. We will go through it step by step:
If you scroll down a bit, you will see a picture of Alolan Meowth
Click “View Details” below that
Create a Samsung account or log in
Go back to “View Details” and this time provide your used email address
Check your emails, as you will now have received a message that provides you with the one-time promo code
Go to the in-game shop of Pokémon GO and redeem the code or visit the Niantic website, where you can also redeem the code (iOS users can only choose the second option)
This is the kind of email you might receive – Keep in mind that this code in the image has already been redeemed
How long is the code valid? According to Samsung, you can redeem this code for a month, until June 7.
Is this for every account? On reddit , players report that trainers from all over the world and regardless of the device can redeem this code. So you don’t need a Samsung device to receive the free items.
Are the items worth it? In total, the products are worth $5. Especially the Incense should interest many players, as it currently attracts significantly more Pokémon and lasts for a full hour.
The Poké Balls will also come in handy, as many trainers are still complaining about a lack of balls. So you can catch a few more Pokémon.
Currently, you can mostly throw them at Pokémon of the 2nd generation, as they are appearing more frequently due to the Johto event at the moment.

In Fortnite , the 17-year-old pro player Daniel “Dubs” Walsh has been banned for 30 days. He is accused of violating Fortnite’s rules and cheating. According to him, however, it was clever play. One doesn’t fight right at the beginning; every pro knows that.
This is why the player was banned: Last week, accusations rose from the community that Dubs and his duo partner “Waffles” were colluding in Fortnite’s Solo Cash Cup.
In solo tournaments, it is strictly prohibited to collaborate with another player. This is considered “teaming” and thus cheating. However, according to the allegations, both are said to have cooperated.
According to reports and a video:
both players landed at the same spot, at “The Rig”
they never fought each other
but attacked other players who also landed there
The Rig is a new location that came to Fortnite with Season 2 in February 2020.
they even allegedly shared loot
they supposedly did a 3-2-1 countdown to eliminate someone together
The two managed to reach places 7 and 8 in the Solo Cash Cup with this play style.
A YouTube video with the accusations that the players colluded circulated on YouTube starting May 2 and garnered some attention. The video reached over 515,000 views.

More than 500,000 viewers watched a video that accused the pro of cheating.
This is the aftermath: According to the news agency Reuters, Dubs has stated that he was banned by Epic Games for 30 days. He says he finds the decision “frustrating,” but accepts it and will not appeal.
This is what Dubs says in his defense: According to Dubs, the location “The Rig” has been his only landing spot for two months. His entire strategy revolves around this landing spot.
Every match starts the same for him since then: He always lands on the same building, follows the same loot routes, and rotates the same way.
Players who eliminate villains in Fortnite can loot a keycard and enter a treasure room. This gives an advantage at the start.
He says: Waffles never attacked him. He would play the same way in Waffles’ place. That is a clever strategy. He would sit there and only farm, then loot the vault when the other is outside. Because that’s where the extra loot waits.
Dubs says he doesn’t just fight right after spawning at the beginning of a match unless someone is in his way, especially when it comes to a keycard.
Every pro knows that it’s not clever to fight right at the spawn point.
Big Problem in Fortnite Esports
This is what it’s about: The problem reveals the weakness in Fortnite esports. Ultimately, no one forces players to go after each other and risk being eliminated early and scoring few points. Therefore, it is often a good tactic to play “defensively” and avoid fights. It’s like making a “non-aggression pact” with other players: If you do nothing to me, I’ll do nothing to you.
The problem reared its head back in December 2018. At that time, pros would get planes and play particularly passively to reach the end game. They would glide minutes over the map. To avoid trouble with the rules due to passivity, they would shoot hilariously next to other planes.
In Dubs’ case, the caution apparently crossed into “teaming,” which led to the 30-day ban.
3 players were kicked out of their team in April: due to collusion.
These incidents keep recurring in Fortnite esports and show that there currently is no solution to avoid such “agreements” among players. This is unfair to all others who do not have such agreements.
The Grau 5.56 was introduced in Season 2 and is already the tenth assault rifle in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Here you will find the OP build from a YouTuber and two more setups that make the Grau a beast in the right hands. As an update, a strong loadout for the Warzone.
What kind of weapon is it? With the Grau 5.56, the light assault rifles in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare have a strong, new colleague. After our initial analysis at the start of Season 2, here are a few verified builds of the “Battle Pass” assault rifle.
The weapon is modeled after a rifle from the Swiss Army and resembles the SIG 552 Commando in its basic design. This is a modified version of the SIG 550, which is considered very versatile, and even in CoD you can significantly customize the rifle with attachments.
Update May 8, 2020: The Grau 5.56 also performs really well in the Warzone. Therefore, further down you will now find a strong Warzone setup.
The Grau 5.56 in standard configuration and the value comparison with the RAM-7.
What do the stats look like? The weapon ranks among the top assault rifles based on its bare stats, but loses some attractiveness due to a lower rate of fire and a longer Time-To-Kill (TTK).
The damage profile corresponds exactly to that of its direct competitors (28/23/18) and some other assault rifles. However, the Grau 5.56 can stand out due to its very high 4-shot range, which is already about 30% higher than that of the strong assault rifles RAM-7 and M4A1, even without attachments.
“Battle Pass” weapon is regarded as one of the strongest assault rifles
Which setup is supposed to be OP? This setup comes from the YouTuber “Swagg”. He is absolutely enthusiastic about the Grau 5.56 in an English video (via YouTube) and sees this configuration as “OP”, meaning “overpowered”.
Attachments of the Swagg OP build
Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
Barrel: FF 20.8″ Nexus
Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip
Ammunition: 50-Round Mag
Grip: XRK Void II
What makes this setup special? The barrel and suppressor further increase the already high 4-shot range, allowing for kills at 50 meters with the minimal TTK of 240 ms. This makes the weapon particularly powerful in “Ground War” but also on larger maps.
Grau 5.56 as a Run&Gun weapon
How can I play the Grau 5.56 differently? The YouTuber and CoD analyst “TheXclusiveAce” also took a look at the weapon. Ace prefers more aggressive Run&Gun builds. His inclination towards high-tempo setups is reflected in his configuration.
Attachments of the TheXclusiveAce builds
Barrel: XRK CZEN mk2
Stock: No Stock
Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip
Ammunition: 50-Round Mag
Grip: XRK Void II
Why should I go for this setup? The YouTuber balances the two strengths of the weapon with this setup. He compensates for the loss of movement speed due to the magazine and barrel with the grip and stock, and the Commando Foregrip makes this MP-like build a good companion at close to long ranges.
My recommendation for attachments for versatile use
Which setup do you recommend? Instead of going for a larger magazine, I prefer to take the “Tactical Laser” with assault rifles. This way, I can offset the loss of movement speed due to the barrel and suppressor. The laser is only visible when I aim down sights and brings the “aim time” to top values, but this is a matter of personal preference.
Attachments of my preferred build
Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
Barrel: XRK CZEN mk2
Laser: Tactical Laser
Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip
Grip: XRK Void II
What advantages does your build offer? In my AR builds, I pay attention to getting the movement speed as high as possible while also supporting the strengths of the weapons. With the barrel and suppressor, the 4-shot range goes over 45 meters, while the laser and grip bring the weapon to aim quickly.
Warzone: Grau 5.56 Setup – M4A1 can’t compete
What makes the Grau so strong in Warzone? The weapon has the longest range of all CoD assault rifles and very manageable recoil. Additionally, the rate of fire is low, which makes it even better at hitting targets at long distances. A good Warzone setup should support these strengths without compromising too much mobility.
Attachments of the Warzone setup
Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
Barrel: Tempus 26.4″ Archangel
Optic: Monocle Reflex Sight
Ammunition: 50-Round Mag
Grip: XRK Void II
What does this setup bring in Warzone? Here you get an extremely stable weapon with high range that still plays quickly. You can even counter snipers if you aim directly at the reflection of their large sights. At medium range, you can easily place bullets on a target and secure kills.
Not even the strong M4A1 can compete with this high precision and range.
For even higher range, use the “VLK 3.0x Sight”. This sight offers a good compromise between range and mobility. When you want to give the weapon back a bit more speed, swap the grip for the tactical laser. However, this can sometimes cause problems at shorter ranges, as the laser is clearly visible to enemies when aimed.
Pros and Cons of the Grau 5.56
Pro
Well modifiable with attachments
Very high range of 4-shot kills
Low recoil
Really strong between 35 – 50 meters
Top values for aim speed for an assault rifle
Contra
Must first be unlocked through a challenge
Low rate of fire and thus high TTK
Surpassed by many specialized weapons at extreme and short distances
Strong assault rifle with minor flaws
The Grau 5.56 can be classified as a top assault rifle and provide a lot of fun at longer ranges. The high range, combined with good handling due to low rate of fire and manageable recoil, makes the weapon a strong choice.
Alongside the RAM-7 and M4A1, the “Battle Pass” weapon ranks among the top weapons in the game, with a small deficit in Time-To-Kill. Those who can overlook this brief moment will get a nasty assault rifle with a lot of potential, especially on large maps and in “Ground War”.

In The Elder Scrolls Online steckt bereits viel mehr Skyrim, als ihr womöglich wisst. Hier erfahrt ihr von unserem MeinMMO-Autor Jürgen Horn, wo ihr schon jetzt, vor dem Release von Greymoor, die kühle Luft von Himmelsrand schnuppern könnt.
The region of Skyrim is among the favorites of Elder Scrolls fans, alongside Morrowind. After all, 2 of the most popular games in the series took place in the respective regions. Therefore, it is not surprising that the developers chose Skyrim as the setting in the upcoming expansion Greymoor.
What can a Skyrim fan do if they urgently need snowy expanses and hearty Nord festivities?
Here you can already find plenty of Skyrim in ESO
So much Skyrim is already present in ESO: Anyone who has played ESO on the side of the Ebonheart Pact will have visited several regions of Skyrim in ESO. Over time, additional regions have come, especially in the form of dungeon instances.
Here you can already find Skyrim in ESO. The large spot between Eastmarch and the Glacier is still empty and is expected to be filled with Greymoor. And then there is the island of Solstheim to the north…
I, Jürgen, bravely ventured into the north of Tamriel and searched for Skyrim areas. The following paragraphs show you where you can already catch a whiff of the icy air of the north.
Bleakrock Isle
Here you can find the region: Anyone starting the game on the side of the Pact automatically lands there. On the other hand, you can book a passage to the desolate island from Davon’s Watch. Bleakrock Isle is a barren island off the coast of Skyrim.
The icy island of Bleakrock Isle.
What awaits you there: As a starting region, Bleakrock Isle already offers a good portion of Skyrim for all fans of the region. You will find snowy plains, hearty longhouses, and even the ever-popular burial mounds with dungeons and undead.
A particularly funny quest lets you find people transformed into skeevers and turn them back.
As the story progresses, you help the island’s inhabitants fend off an attack from the Daggerfall Covenant and ultimately organize their orderly retreat from the island to the mainland.
Eastmarch
Here you can find the region: Eastmarch is the easternmost of the Skyrim regions. You will find it in the north of the country and can reach it via the Rift region to the south.
A landscape in Eastmarch.
What awaits you there: Eastmarch is a major adventure region of ESO, which has been present since the base game. Here you will find plenty of quests and things to explore. There are over a dozen complex quests alone here. In addition, there are 7 dungeons and 2 large group dungeons, which I will detail below.
A highlight of the region is certainly the ancient city of Windhelm, which you will surely remember from the game Skyrim. In ESO, the king of the Ebonheart Pact resides here.
By the way, Eastmarch used to be a mid-game region in ESO, which you visited around level 31 to 37.
Rift
Here you can find the region: Rift is located just south of Eastmarch and is the southernmost of the Skyrim regions in the game. You can reach it, among other ways, from Cyrodiil.
The regional capital Riften with the magnificent Fighters Guild.
What awaits you there: Rift is further south than the rest of Skyrim and therefore not quite as frosty. You can expect forests and meadows full of animals. In addition, the capital Riften invites you to linger.
Rift offers many challenges: you get 7 public dungeons and a group instance, which I will introduce below. In addition, numerous complex quest lines guide you through the region. You will have a lot to do until you are done with Rift.
By the way, Rift used to be the high-level region of the Ebonheart Pact. You roamed there from level 38 to 43.
Fulstrom Homestead
Here you can find the region: This fortified farmhouse is located in Eastmarch, but you can only visit it during the introductory quest of the DLC Thieves Guild.
What awaits you there: At the request of the aspiring thief Quen, you should steal a mysterious skull from the possession of the local ruler. You sneak through a lovingly crafted Nord homestead, where you can extensively test the new stealth system from the Thieves Guild.
So here you sneak for the first time in ESO from cover to cover and hide from the guards in randomly placed willow baskets.
Direfrost Keep
Here you can find the region: This is a group dungeon that has been around since the base game. It is physically located in the Eastmarch region in the mountains, but you can also easily access it via the dungeon finder.
Even bears are enemies in the frozen fortress.
What awaits you there: The fortress is the ancient home of the Direfrost Clan. However, nothing has been heard from them in some time. Instead, ice storms rage over the castle.
Inside the fortress, you will encounter undead and, at the end, a nasty witch whose companions we currently encounter at the Glacier. ESO had hinted at a threat here back then that is only now becoming relevant.
Falkreath
Here you can find the region: This town is actually located in ESO in the Reach, but it also somehow belongs to Skyrim. Falkreath is the scene of a dungeon in the DLC Horns of The Reach.
The great final battle against the chief bull.
What awaits you there: In this dungeon, which is actually more of a scenario instance, you must defend the city against an attack from minotaurs. It starts off hard, as you fend off a siege mammoth at the gates and bombard it with arrows.
In the end, everything culminates in an epic battle against a colossal minotaur in the hall of the jarl. With the massive boss that fights in a sea of flames, this final battle is considered one of the most spectacular dungeon fights in the game.
Glacier
Here you can find the region: This region is located high in the north and can only be accessed during the dungeon Glacier from the DLC Harrowstorm.
These nasty witches are the bosses in the Glacier.
What awaits you there: This dungeon is part of the prelude to Greymoor and introduces two important story elements. On the one hand, you meet the warrior Lyris Titanborn, who plays an important role in Greymoor again.
Here she is not yet involved, but you will find Lyris later in the dungeon, where she helps you at the right moments with her big axe.
Moreover, the nasty witches appear again here, who will be responsible for the dreaded storms in Greymoor and already wreak havoc here.
Especially the final battle, in which all remaining witches of the circle appear together, will keep you busy countering their dark magic in time. Otherwise, you will all just die automatically!
Blessed Crucible
Here you can find the region: This dungeon from the base game is located in the mountains of the Rift region. You can also access it via the dungeon finder.
Here you can expect ruins of the Daedra.
What awaits you there: Most regions of Skyrim are icy and cold. Yet here, you encounter an ancient Daedra ruin permeated with lava located in the mountains.
Bloody gladiatorial battles take place there, and you must prove yourself against the bosses, including a tiefling who has a giant troll unleashed on you.
In the end, you will come face to face with the Lava Queen herself, the 400-year-old arena master. So prepare yourself for a tough battle.
Frostvault
Here you can find the region: The Frostvault is a large dungeon from the DLC Wrathstone. It is physically located in Eastmarch and can also be found via the dungeon finder.
The massive final boss of the dungeon.
What awaits you there: The Frostvault is an ancient Dwemer ruin that has only recently thawed out. However, before you delve deeper into the vaults, you must drive out the goblin tribe residing there.
After that, you will repair a huge Dwemer machine that will clear the way into the chamber for you.
At the end of the instance, you will encounter a giant Dwemer colossus and take part of the Grudge Stone as a reward. But to achieve all of this, you need to transform into a cool new feature into a small, deployable rat and sabotage inside the colossus. Only then will you be able to master the colossus in the end.
Additionally, you will receive the base game along with Morrowind for free in the magazine and a 25% discount on the Greymoor expansion. Among other things, our author Jürgen Horn has contributed there.
Here’s more Skyrim content: If you have already completed the two dungeons from the DLC Harrowstorm, you can also try the new and free prologue quest to Greymoor. This is open to all players, even if you have not purchased Harrowstorm. There you will meet Lyris and other important NPCs again and even briefly enter the eerie depths of the Blackreach.

The Johto event in Pokémon GO has begun! Here we provide you with an overview of spawns, field research, raid bosses, and the new Shinies.
This is the Johto event: This event is part of the Nostalgia Challenge and is the 2nd event in this series. You can benefit from the bonuses until May 15 at 1:00 PM local time.
The event has changed quite a bit in Pokémon GO, and to ensure you don’t miss anything, we show you the complete overview here.
Shinies, spawns, and quests – The Johto event
These are the quests you need to complete: During the event, there are 7 new field research tasks waiting for you, all featuring Pokémon from the 2nd generation. Here are the quests:
Earn a heart with your buddy
Reward: Encounter with a Lorblatt
Land 3 curveball throws
Reward: Encounter with a Noctu
Play with your buddy
Reward: Encounter with a Karnimani*
Catch 3 normal-type Pokémon
Reward: Encounter with a Dummisel*
Use 5 berries while catching Pokémon
Reward: Encounter with a Tannza*
Catch 3 fire-type Pokémon
Reward: Encounter with an Igelarvar
Hatch an egg
Reward: Encounter with a Phanpy
The best quests are probably for Dummisel and Tannza. While Dummisel is sought after as a new Shiny by almost all trainers, Tannza is rather rare outside of events, and many may still be missing the shiny variant.
These are the new Shinies: Dummisel has already been heavily promoted as a new Shiny in Pokémon GO. It has already been spotted and caught by trainers.
Additionally, Pikachu returns as a Shiny. This time it wears an Eevee hat. Make sure to get this Shiny, as after the event, this hat-wearing Pikachu will likely not come back for a while.
What event spawns are there? Almost every Pokémon from the 2nd generation appears in this event. Particularly interesting are the spawns of Dummisel, Panzaeron, Lampi, Tannza, and Yanma. They are quite rare outside of events or have only recently been introduced as Shinies. So you will have good chances of encountering a sought-after Shiny here.
These bonuses are exciting: Especially the double stardust for caught Pokémon should be utilized. You can now also stack star pieces, allowing you to walk around with the item for longer than just half an hour. This is worthwhile in this event.
New raid bosses for the Johto event
These are the new bosses: A large portion of the new raid bosses come from the 2nd generation. Additionally, there are some Shiny checks from other generations:
Which bosses are worth it? This time there are a lot of potential Shinies, which we have marked with an asterisk (*) in the list. So if you still need one of the Shinies, you can try your luck in the raids.
In terms of usability, Despotar, Psiana, Sniebel, and Praktibalk are worth it. They or their evolutions are all top attackers of their type.
For PvP, Togetic, Alola-Raichu, Panzaeron, Nachtara, and Giratina are worthwhile. They are among the best Pokémon in the Tier List of the PvP League. So if you still need a strong team for one of the leagues, you should focus on these Pokémon in raids.

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare there are sometimes moments of unity between both teams. One player spared his opponent because he provided convincing arguments for him.
Normally, in Modern Warfare, one should not be lenient with their opponents, after all, the shooter is supposed to be brutally realistic. But a brief moment of connection is now causing excitement on reddit.
After reddit user “SorryForBeingNice” spared his opponent, he quickly joined forces with him and attacked their teammates. The clip has already received over 10,000 upvotes.
Spontaneous Switch of Sides Excites Viewers
This is the clip: First, you see a player with a riot shield clearing an opponent out of the way. Another opponent joins and sees that his chance for a kill is slim, and he begs for mercy. He shakes his head and his counterpart indeed spares him.

Another player from the spared player’s team comes over, but quickly flees again. The spared player then seems to want to take revenge and fires at his own teammate.
The game was played in Hardcore mode. Friendly Fire is activated, so the spared player could actually eliminate his teammate. However, he did not hit him during the action.
How is the video being reacted to? Especially the action of the spared player causes laughter and positive comments. For example, “Jwilso85” notes: “I think the team kill makes it 100x funnier.”
Other viewers are amazed by the gesture from the player with the riot shield. After all, he could have easily eliminated his opponent.
Are there more clips like this? Players frequently showcase their quirky clips in Modern Warfare. Recently, a knife thrower drew attention by winning an entire round with a throwing knife kill across the entire map.
A bug in Modern Warfare is causing excitement, as it allows players to play the shooter in third-person view. Many players hope this becomes a feature and not just a bug in the game. So far, that has not happened yet.

The current TOTSSF event brings a lot of new, strong cards in FIFA 20. Unfortunately, they are also correspondingly expensive – here you can find 3 affordable TOTS players that are still strong.
These cards are included in the TOTSSF: So far, the Community-, EFL-, Premier League– and Saudi TOTSSF have been released. And inside there are some big names, like de Bruyne, van Dijk, or Agüero.
If you were really lucky, you already pulled cards like these from your weekend league rewards – they are currently better than ever. Otherwise, these super cards are hardly obtainable. The best cards are in the multiple millions, and even weaker cards like Piqué or Julian Brand cost you more than 100,000 coins.
However, even if you don’t have 100,000 coins left, you can find some treasures among the TOTSSF cards. Here we show you three cards that, while not too expensive, can still strengthen your team.
TOTSSF Grimaldo
This is Grimaldo: Grimaldo plays as a Spanish left-back in the Portuguese Liga NOS. His card comes from the Community TOTS and is likely one of the best cards you can find in the team.
Looking at Grimaldo’s stats, it quickly becomes clear: He is one of the top 10 left-backs in FIFA 20 overall. This is especially true if you’re looking for a full-back that pushes forward and not just defends. Thanks to high speed, good dribbling, and strong defensive stats, he can cover both roles. Anyone who already owns Grimaldo should definitely try his TOTS version.
Where is Grimaldo worth it? Grimaldo occupies the left full-back position, and with some chemistry loss, he can also play right back. However, considering his left-footed nature, this should be thought through.
One thing is for sure: This defender is worth the approximately 45,000 to 50,000 coins he currently costs (May 8). The reason he is so cheap is likely due to his difficult-to-integrate league. However, as a Spaniard, you can easily link him with players like Sergio Ramos, Piqué, Thiago, or Busquets – not to mention icons like Puyol. Grimaldo also fits well with the next entry on this list.
TOTSSF Pepe
This is Pepe: Many fans may still remember Pepe as the tough defender from Real Madrid, who often earned a red card or two. Nowadays, the 37-year-old makes his living in the Portuguese Liga NOS.
His TOTSSF card comes from the Community TOTSSF and has stats that make Pepe quite useful. The overall rating is 88, most of which comes from high defensive and physical stats. He also has a 98 aggression rating, which long-time Pepe fans might consider to be too low. His 75 pace can be boosted with a Shadow chem style, allowing him to keep up with the speed.
Where is Pepe worth it? Pepe’s TOTSSF card is available for only 35,000 coins (May 8), making it very affordable. If he can be integrated into the center-back position, you can expect a strong, aggressive obstacle for opposing strikers. He naturally fits especially well with players from the Liga NOS, like Grimaldo. But also Portuguese compatriots like Ricardo Pereira, Nelson Semedo, or Joao Cancelo fit well next to Pepe.
TOTSSF Moussa Dembélé
This is Dembélé: Dembélé stood out as a striker for Olympique Lyon in Ligue 1 with 16 goals in 27 matches last season. He was rewarded with a strong TOTSSF card in the Community Team.
The card offers great numbers in attacking stats, particularly in speed and shooting. At the same time, the 90 physical makes him quite strong, and the four-star skills are unpredictable. Only defensively does he have weaknesses – but that is not his focus. With Dembélé, you primarily get a central striker who knows where the goal is.
Where is Dembélé worth it? There are plenty of French players with good stats in FIFA 20. So you can easily find good links for Dembélé, regardless of the league. And you can now get him quite cheaply: After initially costing 150,000 coins, he has fallen to about 50,000 coins during the TOTSSF event (May 8). A price that definitely makes Dembélé worth it.
In the coming weeks, more strong players are expected to join the previous TOTSSF teams. On Friday evening, the next one will be the La Liga TOTSSF from the Spanish league.

In addition to the DLC, a new and free update for companions is coming. With the new changes and the new DLC, Conan Exiles gives you a reason to check out one of the best survival games of 2020 again.
Mediterranean buildings and stylish armors
What’s included in the DLC: As always, the DLC is purely cosmetic and does not provide any gameplay advantages. All content merely changes the appearance of your building components and armors, but not their values and properties.
15 armor pieces (three sets of five pieces: heavy, medium, and light)
9 weapons
New armors and weapons.
A small palace in Argos style.
New armors and building pieces.
Stylish fountains.
Interior in Argos style.
A small town in Argos style.
What is the price of the DLC? Architects of Argos has been available since May 7, 2020, on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, costing €9.99 on all platforms. Here you will find links to the shops:
The “Followers II” update now allows you to issue direct commands to your companions and set behavioral rules. You can command them to protect you or a specific area or to attack enemies, as well as adjust the range at which they pursue foes.
You can now control the behavior of slaves.
The tactics setting gives you the option to determine whether your companions use melee or ranged attacks, thereby complementing your own play style. With a press of a button, you can even command them to attack, stop, or return to their position.
What is changing for mounts: Furthermore, the newly introduced mounts are no longer counted as companions. You can now ride and still have a slave as a combat companion.
You can now simply carry new slaves on your horse into the camp.
The initial reactions to the DLC and the update have been quite positive – on Steam, Architects of Argos has about 92% positive ratings, although only 14 reviews so far. In the forum, players are expressing their gratitude for the work done.
The developer studio Neon Giant announced the action RPG The Ascent during the Inside-Xbox livestream on May 7. But how is “Cyberpunk-Diablo” received by players?
What is The Ascent? In the dystopian world of the action RPG The Ascent, the mega-corporation “The Ascent Group” has collapsed. Since you and all other creatures belonged to this corporation, chaos is now breaking out. The world is reminiscent of CD Project Red’s Cyberpunk 2077.
From a top-down perspective, you fight your way through the levels either alone or cooperatively with up to four players using futuristic weapons. You upgrade your hero based on loot and skills, similar to how you might know it from Diablo – only here in the form of cyber-technology.

This trailer announced The Ascent and excites players.
This could be promising
How are the reactions to the game? What has been shown so far is being received very positively. Players are looking forward to the release of the game and have been discussing it since the first trailer was released.
ichinii says on reddit: “Looks great. As long as they can keep the framerate at a solid 60 with so many explosions, I can only imagine that 4 players and lots of explosions could tax the engine, but that’s what next-gen systems are all about, right?”
Doctordarkspawn is very excited on reddit: “A Cyberpunk Diablo? Where do I sign up???”
Igor Kuv mentions on Steam: “This looks so similar to Ruiner from Devolver. Also a Cyberpunk setting, similar gameplay mechanics, an isometric camera… even the art style is similar. I hope it really comes close to Ruiner. At least in the co-op mode.”
Salvatoris on reddit is not so thrilled: “That looked fantastic until they showed the gameplay. Isometric… I pass.”
The Ascent looks like a mix between Diablo and Cyberpunk 2077 in gameplay.
Are we expecting a Cyberpunk Diablo?
Will it be like Diablo? Not much is known about The Ascent yet. However, it suggests that we might get a kind of Cyberpunk Diablo:
The developers describe it as an action RPG.
Like in Diablo, you fight hordes of enemies from an isometric perspective.
Additionally, you improve your character like in an RPG, but based on implants.
Loot plays an important role.
Where are the question marks? Diablo relies on many quests and replayability. This is not really visible in The Ascent yet. One can assume that there are quests, but how profound they are and whether they tell good stories cannot be said at this point.
Furthermore, nothing is known about the replay value and endgame, which are also important aspects in an action RPG.
When will The Ascent be released? The action RPG is set to be released in the fall for Xbox Series X and PC via Steam.
The Ascent is certainly a very interesting action RPG. However, 2020 is expected to bring more hack and slays that are quite exciting. The MeinMMO list of the 9 hack and slays coming in 2020 will reveal which ones are expected to bridge the wait for Diablo 4.

The YouTube streamer Jack “CouRage” Dunlop has recently refrained from playing Fortnite. But the changes of the last few weeks seem to give him hope again. He explains why he is looking forward to Season 3.
This is the former Fortnite streamer: Jack “CouRage” Dunlop is a YouTube streamer who was also the caster of the Fortnite World Championship 2019. But he had turned away from Fortnite.
The most compelling reason why the streamer didn’t want to play the game anymore was the skill-based matchmaking that Fortnite had introduced. It was simply too stressful and exhausting for him to fight against strong players.
What does CouRage think of Fortnite now? His opinion on the game seems to have changed now, and it seems that the professional is filled with hope for the next season.
In a tweet, the streamer listed what changes Fortnite has made in recent weeks:

Especially the last point is likely to please the streamer, as that is exactly what bothered him about Fortnite. After all these changes, he has just one thing to say:
“Oh my God. Fortnite is making a turn”
He seems to believe that Fortnite will get back on track. So it might become as fun as he remembers it before he turned his back on the game.
The fact that Epic listens to players’ wishes and makes changes, communicates, and explains decisions seems to give the streamer hope that Season 3 could really be great.
Maybe he will return for the next Season 3 and stream more Fortnite again?
This is how other streamers see it: With this opinion, the YouTube streamer is not alone. The Twitch streamer Ali “SypherPK” Hassan seems to be looking forward to Season 3 immensely after these changes.
He writes in response to CouRage’s tweet:

Not without reason did SypherPK create a video in which he explains for 30 minutes what Fortnite needs to change in Season 3 to become as fun as it was in earlier times. Most of these changes that Epic has implemented in recent weeks, he had listed in his video.
Especially in the increasingly tighter gas circle, a well-placed precision attack can indeed decide the outcome of victory or defeat. We show you how to make the cluster strike even more effective with a simple trick.
The laser pointer from the cluster strike
How to make the cluster strike more precise: The cluster strike is especially effective at close to medium ranges. The strike location is marked by laser. However, aiming becomes increasingly difficult at greater distances. At medium and long ranges, it can often be impossible to precisely set the impact zone.
However, Reddit user and CoD player LeagueofSOAD has now posted a valuable tip that can improve the precision of the cluster strike. This makes even surgical hits possible over very long distances.
Instead of aligning this precision strike using the laser, aim your weapons (also possible with sniper scopes) at the desired spot with the sighting device. Then switch to the cluster strike without changing your view or camera angle, and simply activate it.
This way, you can determine the strike location precisely through the weapon’s sight. The cluster strike will hit exactly where you aimed with the sight. If you spot an enemy or an entire group in the distance, you can take them out comfortably from a safe distance.
How do you even get the cluster strike? You can purchase the cluster strike at one of the many supply stations during a Warzone match. This powerful item costs $3,000, which is even a bit less than the 3 best items you should actually buy in every round.
A supply station
Do you want to aim more precisely with a controller? By the way, if you are on PS4 or Xbox One, or generally play with a controller, you should take a look at your dead zone settings. Because not only can you make the cluster strike more precise, but with the right settings, you can also improve aiming in general. You can learn more about it here: Aim better with the correct dead zone setting – here’s how

In Destiny 2, the coolest loot is often hidden in the cash shop instead of behind the toughest challenges in the game. The balance just isn’t right. However, Bungie has now introduced adjustments for the Eververse and rewards from various activities that are meant to change that.
Bungie is currently conducting an information offensive. The Destiny developer is thoroughly addressing current community criticism every week and presenting solution strategies. This week’s topics: loot, rewards, and the Eververse.
In the TWaB (via Bungie) from May 7, Luke Smith, the head of the Destiny franchise, addressed the imbalance of rewards in the game: “There aren’t enough pursuits in the world. We will change that.”
Away from the Eververse, towards earnable rewards
Many players currently complain that the coolest items are only available from the cash shop, the Eververse. That is set to change soon. By purely playing Destiny 2, players will finally be able to earn cool, elaborately designed items through challenging activities.
Changes for challenging activities: In Destiny 2, raids, trials, and dungeons are part of the “aspirational content.” These so-called aspirational activities will receive new loot:
Raids, trials, and dungeons will drop cosmetic (thematically inspired) and powerful items in the future
Every new aspirational activity will be designed with at least one new accessory to pursue
Destiny’s next raid will feature brand new armor, weapons, and exotic accessories
Adept weapons for the Trials of Osiris are coming
New weapons and armor (no reworked reskins) in the trials starting in Season 13
Every year there will be new Trials gear
Every season will have a challenging armor pursuit – This armor will not be available through the Eververse or the Season Pass
With these adjustments, players who prove themselves in the toughest challenges of Destiny 2 will also have something to show off and be proud of. The armor planned for the Eververse from Season 11 (summer 2020) will, for example, be part of the challenging armor pursuit.
Soon you will be able to secure some of the Eververse rewards through skill.
This is how the Eververse is set to change:
Starting in Season 12 (autumn 2020), there will no longer be ships, ghost shells, sparrows, or armor ornaments in the Eververse that visibly relate to aspirational activities
Legendary weapon ornaments will no longer be sold in the Eververse
More opportunities to earn Glimmer (earnable Eververse currency) will be introduced
Glimmer rewards will trend towards account-wide rewards. This way, players with only one character will not be at a disadvantage
Glimmer engrams from the Season Pass will soon contain Year 3 items that were previously available for Silver or Glimmer from the Eververse
The adjustments to the cash shop, which has been criticized by many players, are likely to make many Guardian hearts beat faster. Recently, MeinMMO author Sven Galitzki has addressed these very topics:
Interestingly, the new “quest weapons” will likely be earnable through all activities and can be customized with special skins. These powerful weapons are a carrot in front of the nose for many Guardians, who can chase them and are painfully missed at the start of Season 10. New loot from core activities is a constant wish of the community.
What do you think of the changes? Do the toughest activities of Destiny 2 pay off for you again and are you diving into battle for cool cosmetics and items? Friends of cool aesthetics will be especially happy with the newly announced transmog feature for armor.
