In The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO), players said goodbye in February to a well-known and beloved PvP player. Zenimax promised a memorial for the player, which has now been discovered on the test server.
What happened? In February 2020, the player james999dylan passed away at just 22 years old. He was a well-known and beloved player on the EU servers of the PS4. There, he represented the Ebonheart Pact in PvP.
His in-game memorial moved many players and even led to all 3 PvP factions gathering in the contested area of Cyrodiil to mourn together. Hundreds of players came, and surprisingly, no troublemakers appeared. The farewell was calm and harmonious.

On reddit, Brian Wheeler, the PvP lead for The Elder Scrolls Online, announced that a memorial for the player will be established. The developers also want to honor the deceased with this.
The memorial has been on the test server since Monday and has generated many positive reactions.
A beautiful memorial
What kind of memorial is it? To honor the player, a perpetually resting bear named Semaj (James spelled backward) has been brought into the game. This lies next to a candle and a banner of the Ebonheart Pact.
It can be seen in all game versions, not just on the PS4 servers.
The memorial for the deceased player james999dylan.
How do players react to the memorial? In a thread that temporarily reached number 1 on the ESO subreddit, many players express their enthusiasm for the beautiful memorial.
They describe it as “beautiful” and a “sad but very beautiful tribute to the player.” Some also reiterated there how much they miss James.
Solidarity among gamers: Even though online games are often referred to as toxic, memorial marches and monuments like this show that there are people behind the screens who mean something to each other. This applies not only to ESO, but also to other games.
In Pokémon GO, an event involving all generations is likely to start soon. However, it mainly focuses on special challenges that you must complete.
Here are the details: Dataminers have found new hints about a retrospective event in the code of Pokémon GO. According to leaks, this event will likely include 5 challenges that you need to complete. Each time, a different generation will be the focus.
What has been found: Overall, there are 5 different text passages related to this. Each passage revolves around a different challenge that you need to complete. 4 out of the 5 challenges focus on a specific generation, namely the regions Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh – that is, generations 1 to 4.
No exact details about the challenges have been shown. Therefore, a few pieces of data are still missing, which could be included in a future update.
These text passages have been found. Source: reddit
However, now there are challenges for each of the first 4 generations. Therefore, it is quite possible that one will have to complete challenges worldwide again to unlock bonuses for the respective generation.
This would remind one of the global challenges that were active in the last 2 years. There, one had to catch a certain amount of Pokémon around the live events in summer to unlock bonuses.
For 2020, Niantic would need to come up with something special in this regard. After all, the developers plan that a GO Fest can take place at home, and such global challenges would then be a bit more complicated. Perhaps the retrospective event is meant to provide some relief.
The global challenge is known from the live events in summer.
When could the retrospective event start? So far, this is just a leak. The event may not take place at all. However, the findings from the dataminers are almost always implemented in the game a few weeks later. Therefore, such an event is very likely.
Recently, it didn’t take long for found events to be implemented in the game. Therefore, one can expect to read something official about the event in the coming days and weeks.
Until then, you can still benefit from the bonuses of the buddy event, which will run until next Monday at 10:00 PM.

After Epic Games had long resisted offering Fortnite through the Google Play Store, the company has now relented. Players can now start the download of Fortnite for Android smartphones through the Google Play Store. However, Epic does not sound pleased about it.
How can you now download Fortnite on Android? You now have two options to get Fortnite:
You search for the game in the Google Play Store and click on “Install.” This will download the game, and you can then play it directly on your phone.
You can still get Fortnite directly from Epic Games. You can find the game on the EpicGames website. There you can download it and also play immediately.
On which Android devices does Fortnite run? Your phone must meet these requirements:
Android operating system, 64-bit, version 8.0 or higher
ARM64 processor
At least 4 GB of RAM
One of these graphics processors: Adreno 530 or better, Mali-G71 MP20, Mali-G72 MP12 or better
The following Android devices support 60 FPS:
Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (US variant only)
Samsung Galaxy S10, S10e, S10+
Samsung Galaxy Note 10, Note 10+, Note 10+ 5G
Samsung Galaxy A90 5G
Samsung Galaxy Tab S6
HONOR View20
Huawei Mate 20 X
Huawei P30 / P30 Pro
Sony Xperia 1
Xiaomi Mi9
OnePlus 7 Pro
ASUS ROG Phone II
Why did Epic Games change its stance?
This was the problem for a long time: Normally, Android smartphone users go to the Google Play Store when they want to download new games. That is the familiar environment they trust.
But Epic did not want to cooperate with Google because they did not want to give up a large share of the profits. Therefore, players could only download Fortnite from the Epic website. This has suddenly changed.
That’s why there was a rethink at Epic: As Epic Games explains, you can now download the online shooter Fortnite through the Google Play Store as well. This was not possible for a long time.
According to Epic, this step was necessary now because games not directly obtained through the Play Store are subject to restrictions and disadvantages.
Constantly popping up security warnings, even during updates
Third-party software is treated by Google as malware
Google Play Protect often blocks software not coming from the Play Store
The deals with manufacturers are subject to strict limitations
This has made it not easy for Epic Games to provide Fortnite for Android players. Therefore, the company is now offering the online shooter directly through the Play Store.
The situation regarding Fortnite on Android phones has been somewhat complicated.
Epic Games does not sound particularly pleased
This is what Epic says about the situation: Epic Games shows little enthusiasm for having to take this step, as can be seen from the company’s statement:
After 18 months of operating Fortnite on Android outside of the Google Play Store, we have come to a fundamental realization. Google disadvantages software that can be downloaded outside of Google Play through technical and business measures such as alarming, repeated security pop-ups for downloaded and updated software, restrictive agreements and deals with manufacturers and operators, as well as Google’s public relations, which label software sources from third parties as malware, and new efforts such as Google Play Protect to completely block software obtained outside the Google Play Store.
Spokesperson for Epic Games
What was the problem between Google and Epic? Google demands a 30 percent share of the revenues of a game when it is offered through the Google Play Store. Epic Games’ Tim Sweeney saw this as much too high. In addition, Epic Games was also supposed to use Google’s payment system, which the company did not want. The in-game currency V-Bucks should go directly from Epic to the players. This would circumvent the 30% on in-game sales. He hoped that Google would make adjustments.
However, Google rejected these adjustments regarding the 30 percent and the use of Epic’s payment system. As a result, Fortnite was not officially available through the Play Store.
What does Epic Games think about it now? The company is still hoping for adjustments.
We hope that Google will review its policies and business relationships in the near future, so that all developers have the opportunity to reach and interact with customers on Android and in the Play Store through open services, including competing payment services – and on equal competitive terms.

A player is now taking the fight against cheaters in CoD: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Warzone into their own hands. They are tackling the problem at its root, namely with the providers. Here is their detailed plan and how you can get involved.
This is the biggest problem in Modern Warfare and Warzone: For many, the current biggest issue in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone is the numerous cheaters and hackers, who especially wreak havoc on PC and ruin the fun for many honest players.
Although the developers are taking action against cheaters, many find it simply not enough. As a result, some PS4 players are disabling crossplay to exclude the cheater-infested PC.
What is the player’s plan about? The Reddit user and CoD player TNGSystems had had enough and quickly devised a clever plan to somewhat curb the spread of annoying cheat software through targeted needle pricks.
He introduced this on Reddit and called for a campaign against cheat providers, encouraging the community to participate. In principle, nearly anyone can get involved. And his plan has already proven effective in practice. More on that later.
This is what the plan looks like: To reduce the spread of cheat software, he is addressing the problem directly with the providers. He is trying to cut off their funding or at least make their payment methods difficult.
The sale of cheating software is illegal according to the terms of service of numerous payment services such as PayPal, as well as with leading credit card providers like Mastercard or Visa. However, many purchases in the industry are conducted through exactly this, as well as with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.
The plan involves participating in transactions, but not buying the cheats, only going as far as receiving the provider’s name before payment and then reporting them to the respective payment service for selling illegal products.
For this, TNGSystems has received a lot of praise and recognition on Reddit, and some players want to support him.
Does this really work? Yes, it does actually have an effect. While it cannot completely stop the spread of cheats, it can at least make it more difficult through painful and annoying needle pricks.
For example, it is quite difficult to disturb such activities with cryptocurrencies. However, these currencies are not yet as widely used and accepted as PayPal or a credit card.
And with PayPal, TNGSystems’ plan is already showing results. He participated in a transaction until he found out the provider’s name and reported it to PayPal. Shortly thereafter, PayPal took action against this provider – with success. Consequently, the respective provider’s site no longer listed PayPal as a possible payment method and only accepted direct payments or Coinbase (cryptocurrency).
TNGSystems also took action against the provider at Coinbase, but is still waiting for a response. While there are still other methods available for cashless payments, restricting the most common options for the providers really hits them hard.
This is how you can also participate: According to TNGSystems, participating is very easy. Create a dummy account on a cheat provider’s website that you find – with false information. Such sites often do not even require email verification. Select a product and proceed to checkout.
Once you receive a PayPal address or name, simply report the seller to the payment provider directly via the contact, support, or live chat with their name and the corresponding URL for selling illegal goods. That should be sufficient. You can also contact support directly via email, for example, with Mastercard.
The more players actively participate, the more needle pricks can be inflicted on the providers. A community campaign could therefore have significant impacts, from which not every provider is likely to recover.
What are the developers doing against the cheaters? Infinity Ward is also aware of the significant cheating problem and is taking action against the fraudsters. So far, they have banned over 70,000 accounts associated with cheating and hacking in Warzone.
Additionally, the developers announced new measures against cheaters just today. Some have already been active since this week. Others are yet to come. For example, players who are suspected of cheating will be matched against each other. Soon, players will also finally be able to report cheaters in the kill cam view.

The NPCs in Fallout 76 not only provide you with quests, they can also be quite nasty. Because if you die, they steal your weapons and ammunition.
What exactly do the NPCs do? If you die in the game and an NPC introduced with the Wastelanders update is nearby, reports from players suggest that he may loot your corpse and take your weapons and ammunition.
If you respawn, you will be missing the items. You won’t get them back from the NPC either.
Thieving NPCs
Why is this a problem? Players quickly lose powerful legendary weapons and thousands of rounds of ammunition that they have farmed over a long time. This frustrates them.
The problem seems to occur particularly frequently during events like “Radiation Rumble” or “Raiding Shotgun”. Here it is especially annoying that the NPCs who take the weapons are friendly and immortal.
In theory, it would not even be possible to retrieve your gear if the NPC is dead – because he cannot die. This can be clearly seen in the following video. Around minute 1:00, the player dies, and at minute 2:25, you can see NPC Marion Copeland using his Gatling plasma:
https://youtu.be/yGouB2uVuQ8
This is how thieving NPCs are in Fallout 76.
How do players react to this? Players are unsure whether to laugh or be angry about it. However, the situation is quite funny.
Mavor516 comments on reddit: “I had to laugh about it, but it’s definitely a mess.”
SlumberBalu thinks it’s not that bad on reddit: “So they are smart and loot you when you die. That’s what any player would do.”
woosha_me expresses dissatisfaction on reddit: “That’s not funny. I lost my best 50cal this week. It was even the golden color…”
This also happens not only with players. NPCs even loot enemies when they die.
Bethesda is addressing this
What does Bethesda say about the situation? The developers want to take a look at this, as they explain on reddit and may then deploy an update.
Until there is a patch, you might not want to use your most valuable weapon in battles involving NPCs.
You should not engage in battles involving NPCs with legendary weapons right now. Image source: survivalcore.
MeinMMO author Andreas says: One of my best gaming memories is from The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. I was sneaking into a cave, saw a sleeping bandit, and quietly looted him. After I took his weapons, he woke up. Unarmed, he ran away and discovered the corpse of another bandit that I had taken out earlier. He bent down, looted the corpse, and then attacked me with a weapon he had found. I had never experienced something like that in a game before.
So, I find the situation with the stealing NPCs in Fallout 76 to be cool and funny on one hand, but on the other hand, it’s annoying because you can’t get back the stolen weapons.
I personally hope for a fix that does not prevent item stealing. However, you should be able to reclaim the weapons. This way, cool situations like item stealing could remain in the game, but we would get our things back.
If you want to learn more about the big Wastelanders update and whether Bethesda’s Fallout 76 is now more enjoyable, MeinMMO author Benedict Grothaus has already played it and introduces you to the “new Fallout 76” in his game report.

In Destiny 2, you can secure a new Exotic during the competitive event. We will show you which Triumphs of the Guardian Games are best suited for that.
Here’s how to earn the Exotic: The Guardian Games event has started in Destiny 2. Warlocks, Titans, and Hunters compete against each other to determine which class comes out on top. Regardless of class, you can also earn the new Exotic Heir-Apparent during the event.
The exotic reward is hidden behind a mini-quest and several Triumphs that you need to complete. First, visit Eva Levante in the Tower to kick off the hunt.
During the quest “Guardian Games Registration,” you must make your way to several NPCs in the Tower and will even receive your first Gold Medal in the competition – it only takes a few minutes. Then you can start the next step: completing event Triumphs.
Eva Levante offers quests, medals, and event rewards
The exotic quest “On Your Marks, Get Set, Go!” is not related to Heir-Apparent; it rewards you with the event’s Exo Ghost shells.
Complete Class Act and Class Performance
Which Triumph is needed? To get the new Exotic into your hands, Eva Levante requires you to master the Triumph “Class Performance.”
If you are surprised that this task cannot be found in the Triumph tab of the game, you can be reassured. It seems that a small error occurred during translation; what is actually meant is the Triumph “Class Act.” In English, both are called “Class Act.”
Regardless of the name, the task to complete is identical: You must complete 7 event Triumphs in the Guardian Games; only then will Eva hand over the Exotic.
These 7 Triumphs you should tackle in the Guardian Games
What you need to know about event Triumphs: If you take a look at the Triumph tab, you will find under “Seasonal” and then under “Events” a list of all possible Triumphs that you can tackle during the Guardian Games 2020. Excluding the Triumph “Class Act,” there are 11 tasks listed.
We will reveal to you which of these you should ideally tackle to own Heir-Apparent as quickly as possible. Those who are not in a hurry and participate regularly in the event will unlock the power weapon within the 3 weeks alongside.
Two important notes:
Be sure to equip your event class emblem. Many of the required medals, quests, and Triumphs cannot be effectively tackled otherwise. You will receive a corresponding item for free from Zavala.
Currently, it looks difficult to unlock the Exotic at the earliest with the reset on Thursday (April 30) and then only if you’ve been diligent already.
Equip the special class emblem during the Guardian Games
7 quick Triumphs in the Guardian Games 2020:
Embrace the Light: Achieve 25 Super kills in the Rumble playlist – For some Guardians, this Triumph is considered completed as soon as they complete the task during the Revelry 2019
Incarnation: Defeat enemies with abilities in Vanguard Strikes and Nightfalls – This Triumph is also automatically checked off for some Guardians
Famous: Collect Laurels (kills with grenades, melee abilities, supers) – Laurels created by other Guardian classes give you 1 point – Kills by your own class give 3
Great Deeds: Collect Laurels in Gambit matches, strikes, forges, and locations (e.g., patrol zones)
Show Your Colors: Earn points through Guardian player quests
Weekly quests provide 4 points
Daily quests provide 2 points
Repeatable quests provide 1 point
These 5 Triumphs can theoretically be completed in one day, although the last one requires quite a bit of grinding. Additionally, you should tackle these two quests now and expect to finish them with the reset on April 24:
Gold Medal Winner: Redeem 30 Gold Medals – You receive one for free per character and can earn 3 each day otherwise
Fivefold Threat: Redeem one Gold Medal each for Crucible, Gambit, Strikes, locations, and forges – Daily rotations change the game areas (currently, on April 22, Strike and Crucible are active)
Keep track of your progress in the Triumph tab
According to Destiny expert Aztecross (via YouTube), these 7 Triumphs are significantly faster to complete than the competition. He recommends tackling several tasks simultaneously and adapting to the daily rotation.
The Reward for Your Efforts: The Exotic Heir-Apparent
What the new Exotic MG contains: Even before the start of the Guardian Games, rumors of a heavy Cabal MG were circulating. As it turns out, it is the Exotic Heir-Apparent. Let’s take a look at the new power weapon.
The Exotic significantly resembles the weapons of the Cabal Colossi
Heir-Apparent is equipped in the power slot and belongs to the machine guns. It has the fastest fire rate of its kind (900), the largest magazine of all MGs (115 rounds), and deals Solar damage. Its stats are impressive, with stability at a strong 90 / 100 and handling that is very good for an MG at 70 / 100.
These are the unique, exotic perks:
Heavy Projectile Launcher: This weapon can only be fired in a fully wound-up state – It must wind up briefly before unleashing its hail of bullets
Colossus Armor: While at full health, you are protected by an Arc shield when winding up this weapon
Check out the video from Nexxoss Gaming to see what Heir-Apparent can do:

In Pokémon GO there is now much to rejoice about. Two major bugs have been fixed and many trainers can finally play normally again.
These are the bugs: For weeks, all trainers playing on the Samsung Galaxy S20 have been excluded from Pokémon GO. Due to a glitch, the app crashes right after starting. This bug has now been fixed.
Additionally, helpers like the GO Plus or the Pokéball Plus are working again. Since the last update, there were issues, and the devices could not be connected.
They wrote on Twitter: “Trainers, we are happy to share that our latest update includes fixes for the app freezing on the Galaxy S20.”
Fans are particularly glad about this, as due to this bug, one could not play at all on the S20. The only solution was switching phones or taking a forced break. Now, finally, normal gaming can continue.

Now there is a quick bug fix available. This resolves the issues around the small helpers and makes them ready for use again.
The GO Plus was useless for a few days.
When will the update be released? The rollout is currently underway. It is not yet available on all devices, but is gradually appearing in app stores.
You can already download it via the APK version. However, keep in mind that this is not officially from Niantic and not available in the app store. You must download it from an external site.
Alternatively, you will still have to wait a few days. By the weekend, the update should be available on every smartphone. There, you can then still take advantage of the buddy event of Pokémon GO.

In Valorant, there was recently a patch that changed the game balance. Among other things, there were nerfs for two agents, map changes, and technical improvements. You can find the highlights of the update along with the patch notes here.
What’s in the first patch? The long-awaited patch for the nerf of Raze is finally here. As hinted by the developers, the controversial heroine Raze has now been slightly weakened. However, the popular healer Sage has also received a nerf.
Her ultimate, the killer rocket, was not touched in the patch, but the equally despised grenades of the agent were:
Raze now only carries one grenade, it used to be 2.
The grenade can be recharged if you achieve 2 kills in the match after throwing it.
The cluster bombs from the grenade now explode less quickly after they appear.
Overall, Raze’s ability sounds have been improved, so you notice earlier what she is planning.
How was Sage changed? The popular healer Sage has also received a bit of a nerf:
Her ice barrier can now be dismantled twice as fast in close combat. This is important according to the developers, because otherwise one can hardly get through rounds without good equipment.
The slow zone now also works in the air, bunny hopping therefore does not provide any advantages here anymore. Additionally, you are quiet when you pass through the zone. Hearing enemies that are trapped in the zone becomes significantly harder.
What else was fixed: In addition to the major changes to the heroines, there were also a number of smaller fixes:
The knife is also twice as effective against metal doors.
The ultimate orb on the map Split is now at B Main instead of B Mid.
Diverse network and connection errors have been fixed.
What was not fixed? A bug with the new prism skin for sniper rifles is still in the game. The skin allows you to see not only the events in the crosshairs but also everything around you when aiming through the scope.
This is an advantage over the regular scope view, which hides everything that is not in the scope. However, this issue continues to persist and is said to be according to the developers on reddit fixed later.
With the patch, Riot is responding more to fan feedback. This is an exception to the recently published statement that the developers of Valorant do not want to nerf quickly, but rather would like the players to try to solve the problems themselves first.

The developers of Infinity Ward have now released a plan on how they want to continue combating cheaters in Call of Duty: Warzone and CoD: Modern Warfare. We show which new measures have been active since this week and what else is being worked on.
This is what Infinity Ward has now introduced: Just recently, Infinity Ward announced that they have banned over 70,000 cheaters and hackers just in Warzone. But that was not enough for many and just a drop in the ocean. Players and fans demanded that more be done against this problem.
Now the developers of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone have responded. On Twitter, they presented an overview of new measures with which they intend to tackle the cheater problem more intensively.
Some of these measures have already been in effect since this week, others are yet to follow.
These are the new anti-cheat measures for CoD MW and Warzone
These new anti-cheat measures are already in effect: Numerous players had complained that they do not receive feedback on whether an obvious cheater they reported has received a ban. That is now different. Players should now receive an in-game confirmation when they report a potential cheater, and they will be notified when that player is subsequently banned.
Furthermore, matchmaking has been adjusted so that players suspected of cheating are matched against each other. This appears to be an effort to ensure that cheaters and hackers remain among themselves and ruin each other’s fun in the game.
Additionally, numerous new security updates have been released, and resources for backend tech, the studio, and responsible teams have been increased to conduct the fight more effectively.
Why all this? Cheaters are currently seen by many players as the biggest problem of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and the in-house battle royale mode Warzone, ruining the fun of the game for many – especially on PC. However, due to crossplay, the problem is also felt on consoles.
Whether aimbots, wallhacks, or unbeatable opponents – more and more frustrated players and streamers are complaining about the cheaters. The community is loudly demanding that stricter actions be taken against cheaters and that more be done about this problem in general.
Borderlands 3 will receive a new endgame with Mayhem 2.0 this week. And the Cartels are also coming – this is what to expect.
When is the update coming? The update, including the revamped Chaos mode and the event “Revenge of the Cartels,” will go live on Thursday, April 23rd. Players won’t have to wait much longer for the endgame update – and it will bring a lot to discover.
Mayhem 2.0 will be crazy – makes endgame more exciting
This is what Mayhem 2.0 will look like: Currently, one can still distinguish between Chaos levels 1 to 4 after completing the story. These make enemies stronger and improve loot. There will be modifiers that randomly adjust things like damage from certain elements.
With the new update, however, the Chaos mode will be expanded to a total of 10 Mayhem levels. There will also be over 25 modifiers, divided into categories “Easy,” “Medium,” “Hard,” and “Very Hard.”
The new Mayhem mode promises real chaos – especially with giant heads.
“Easy” mods will be somewhat helpful by increasing your weapon damage but will also cause stronger spread. It is noticeable that the new mods will be a bit crazier than the previous ones. For example, there are:
Galaxy Brain (easy) – Enemies get large heads, for easy critical hits
The floor is lava (medium) – You have to keep moving because lava forms beneath you if you stand still
Drone Ranger (hard) – Enemies spawn healing drones that support them
More mods have not been presented by the developers yet, but they showed how the distribution across the different levels will look like:
The higher the level, the more modifiers
With each Chaos level, the weapons you can find will become stronger. There will also be new weapons that you can add to your arsenal. The endgame after the new max level will be significantly revamped even for those who have mastered every conceivable challenge in Borderlands 3.
Revenge of the Cartels starts, runs for six weeks
This is what the new event will be: On April 23rd, the new event “Revenge of the Cartels” will start and will run until June 4th. This brings the new location “Villa Ultraviolet” and replaces the current mini-events.
The villa will be a new location.
The Saurian Maurice sends you to reach the villa and challenge gangster boss Joey Ultraviolet there. To accomplish this, you must eliminate cartel agents throughout the galaxy, who may be guarded by pretty strong badass enemies. If you defeat them, you will receive the coordinates to the villa.
The cartels will challenge you.
There you will have to face hordes of enemies from three different gangs. Each gang comes with its own enemy types and minibosses, all of which have their own loot pools. So it’s worth taking the villa down several times.
New cosmetics will also be available.
There will also be new anointed weapons and legendary gear. Additionally, new cosmetics will be available, which you can complete through challenges. So for those who had nothing more to do in Borderlands 3, there will be plenty of content coming this week.

This is included in the update: In a tweet, developer Infinity Ward announced the changes to the playlist for the multiplayer of Modern Warfare. The update went live at around 8 PM German time. The following changes are made:
Cranked replaces Drop Zone
Hut Fever replaces Cabin Fever
The “Stir Crazy” playlist has been removed
Realism Ground War has been removed
Aniyah Palace has been removed from Ground War
The “Cranked” mode is a team deathmatch where you die 30 seconds after a kill if you do not kill another player. This makes Cranked the perfect anti-camper mode.
Hut Fever is the smaller version of Cabin Fever. Instead of 10-player maps, you play here in a playlist of 6v6 maps with popular maps like Rust, Shipment, and Shoot House.
Additionally, the new “Ronin” bundle is now active in the shop, allowing you to unlock a new operator and some skins.
This should change: Along with the now active changes, Activision has also promised a change to the BR mode Warzone. However, this time it seems it will not come simultaneously.
So far (as of 8:30 PM), however, the playlist is still the old one and the duo plunder is still active.
This is how Warzone currently looks: The newly introduced duos are still there, the new modes are missing.
When the update will come, we cannot say exactly yet. In the past, the playlist updates were released either on Tuesday evenings between 7:00 and 8:00 PM or the following morning around 8:00 AM.
How players are reacting: On Twitter, a large majority of users are asking shortly after the tweet appears about the whereabouts of the duo modes of Warzone. While they are not gone yet, it seems to be concerning the players already.
In one of the last updates, the popular trio mode was removed and shortly thereafter added back. This may also be the case this time, and the duos will return if there is enough pressure from the community.

In Pokémon GO the level 50 could be introduced soon. A corresponding find in the game files gives trainers hope.
This is new: The dataminers from PokéMiners have found some adjustments to the GameMaster file. In summary, there are 2 interesting updates:
Rewards for levels 2 to 50 have been added
A change has been made to the mystery box for Meltan
Especially the rewards for levels 2 to 50 are causing discussions. Some trainers, however, do not expect any change in the trainer level behind this adjustment.
Level rewards found – Is level 50 coming?
What is known about the level find? The find is the basis for new rewards. So no rewards themselves have been found, but the files that show that there can be rewards for leveling up to 50.
On the other hand, the rewards themselves were also found a bit later. So it is now known what items there are when leveling up to level 50.
However, the dataminers did not find any further information on this. So there is still much room for discussions.
What could this find mean? With a level, the trainer level does not necessarily have to be meant. There are currently 40 levels, so the find would indicate a possible increase in levels.
However, other levels could also be meant. A completely new level system could be introduced. This seems unlikely, as the find rather points to the trainer level.
The trainer “TornadoJ88” suspects on reddit: “Interesting, hopefully it has something to do with prestige levels? Or perhaps with PvP rewards?”
So it could well be that at least 10 prestige levels will be introduced soon. They do not provide any advantage, but players can achieve them for themselves. Rewards for these level-ups would certainly fit.
However, it is still rather early to make large speculations. Therefore, one should wait for further information to be able to say more here.
What has been changed in the mystery box: A spawn table has been added to the mystery box. This generally describes the frequency of Pokémon that appear with a certain action.
It is now suspected that this change could allow new Pokémon to be added to the mystery box. For example, the rate of Meltan could be lowered to just 50% and another Pokémon could be added with 50% in the spawn table.
So we can hope for a new Pokémon in the mystery box in the future. It may be linked to one of the Pokémon games on the Switch, just like Meltan has this connection.
But even here there is still too little information to make concrete statements. Only time will tell what Niantic has planned with these changes.
Unfortunately, there is nothing new here: Currently, Pokémon GO is still affected by various bugs. Unfortunately, the update has not brought any improvement in this regard.
Players who play on the Samsung Galaxy S20 can still not perform any actions in the game. There has been a bug for weeks that makes access to the game impossible.

The servers will shut down for an unscheduled maintenance today at 07:00 PM CEST / 01:00 PM EDT / 10:00 AM PDT to address issues with the Striker Kneepads.
This was originally scheduled to start at 7 PM but has been postponed by an hour. The maintenance starts at 8 PM and is expected to take the servers down for about an hour, so the game should be accessible again by 9 PM.
Bugs to be fixed: The unscheduled maintenance is primarily intended to fix an issue with the Striker gear set, as the knee pads appear to be missing. Additionally, the following issues are being considered:
Progress blockage in main mission on Coney Island
Exotic reconfiguration deletes armor mods
Progress blockage in Kenly College Tech Laboratory

A user bought their first console at 47 due to the Corona crisis: an Xbox One. They share their experiences on reddit and receive many tips for their gaming career.
Who are we talking about? The reddit user Hobie-Wan-Kenobie made an emotional post. At 47 years old, they bought their very first console. They had never owned a console before, and there were several reasons for that:
As a child, they were too poor and had to play on their friends’ Atari. Their favorite game was “Space Invaders.”
They describe themselves as a person prone to addiction and therefore never wanted to buy a console. For 20 years, they recovered from drugs and alcohol, having lost everything due to it. What is important to them now: job, dog, and girlfriend.
The Corona epidemic is “to blame” for the console purchase
Why did they buy a console now? After months of loneliness due to Corona, they were tired of only watching Netflix and YouTube and wanted some variety again.
So they started researching online which console would be best for them. In the end, they chose the “Xbox One X – Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Bundle” and have not regretted the purchase so far.
What are their experiences? They didn’t want to withhold their first experiences with the console from the world, as they are totally thrilled and overwhelmed by playing and their first experiences on the Xbox One X. They write:
Thanks to the adrenaline, my hands get extremely sweaty every time, and I have to take a break every 15-20 minutes, it can be so overwhelming. You kids have been playing these games since you were little; I feel a bit bad because I probably just didn’t realize how incredibly amazing these things are.
Other users might find it a bit strange. “Sometimes it is extremely difficult,” they explain, “to find the right buttons, and sometimes I shout so loudly in frustration that the dog leaves the room.” But they feel completely like a little kid again.
reddit gives newcomers tips for their gaming career
What do the users say? Their shared experiences and stories resonate widely on reddit. There are now over 700 comments on the post. Surprisingly, they received a one-year subscription from EA Sports.
Many comments give the newcomer tips to navigate the gaming world. We summarize the most important tips for you.
Xbox Game Pass as an entry recommendation
Many on reddit recommend the user to buy the Xbox Game Pass. For a monthly subscription, which can currently be tested for 1 €, it offers a selection of over 100 games, and it would keep them busy for months.
This is especially useful for someone who doesn’t own any games yet. They can check these out and play them without having to buy any. The Xbox Game Pass offers the best opportunity for that. The Xbox Game Pass Ultimate also includes online features like multiplayer.
If you want to know exactly what content the Xbox Game Pass offers and whether it is worth it for you, we present the best 10 games of the pass:
These games are said to be the best according to reddit for the Xbox
Besides the Xbox Game Pass, users recommend several games that they must play. For example, user WATSON_349 writes:
Get Red Dead Redemption 2 and prepare for the emotions and beauty that games can create today. For a 41-year-old who just plays a little, it’s become my benchmark.
After the thread creator was disappointed to find out that they couldn’t play Mario Kart on the Xbox, many suggested they should instead play Forza Horizon 4. It’s one of the best racing games on the Xbox.
What other games are recommended to them? The other games that the players recommend include:
Assassins Creed Odyssey
Call of Duty: Warzone
Destiny 2
Forza Horizon 4
Gears of War series
Halo Master Chief Collection
Red Dead Redemption 2
Additionally, there are great MMORPGs for the Xbox that we recommend if you are playing on Xbox and looking for something new.
Watch out for these dangers
Besides tips on games and the Game Pass, there are also a few warnings. Hobie-Wan-Kenobie had explained that they could quickly become addicted. They explain to them:
If you really have an addictive personality, be careful with games that offer loot boxes, content packs, random rewards, and similar. Many games are designed to play with the psychology of players and exploit their preferences. The games look better than ever before, but have opaque traps like preference-based rewards and gambling mechanics.
The user LymeM also recommends them to turn on parental controls and limit their gaming time. Gaming is great, the user explains, but it should only be enjoyed in moderation before it becomes addictive. We once asked a psychologist why MMORPGs actually become addictive.
Another user advises them to be cautious: “For someone who tends towards addiction and has dealt with drugs and alcohol a lot,” says moose_da_goose, “gaming could also become a kind of addiction. Don’t let it take over your life.”
Xbox Series X is coming – Is the Xbox One still worth it?
Is the Xbox One still worth it? Are you wondering if it is still worth buying an Xbox One X, despite the Xbox Series X? We explain in our article why purchasing an Xbox One or PS4 can still be worthwhile and what to consider when buying.

Today, there are maintenance works for Destiny 2 on PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Google Stadia. The new update 2.8.1 / 1.49 is now live and brings the Guardian Games among other things. Read here everything important about the maintenance process, the server downtime, and the patch notes.
What to expect today in Destiny 2: This evening, the new spring event – the Guardian Games – will kick off in Destiny 2. Warlocks, Hunters, and Titans will then compete in a kind of Olympic challenge to determine which Guardian class is the most devoted and superior to the others.
But before you can dive into the new content, there will be maintenance and a new update that you need to download – update 2.8.1. Only then will the Guardian Games even come into play.
The update is now live and can be downloaded. On the PS4, it carries the version number 1.49 and is 792.2 MB in size.
This is how the maintenance will proceed today
These are the important times: The maintenance will take several hours and there will be server downtime. So you will have to take a forced break this evening – if only for a (hopefully) short time.
Here is the official schedule for today’s maintenance:
The maintenance work is scheduled to start at 18:00 German time
Some API features will also not be available for the time being
Downtime begins at 18:45, the Destiny 2 servers will go offline
At 19:00, server downtime ends, and the servers come back online. Then, on all platforms and in all regions, the release of update 2.8.1 also begins
From 19:00, it will also be possible to log into Destiny 2 again
The maintenance is expected to end at 20:00
Keep in mind: There may be queues and login issues until the maintenance ends at 20:00.
The Guardian Games kick off this evening
What changes with Destiny 2 update 2.8.1 / 1.49?
Bungie has already communicated some content that will come to the game with today’s update 2.8.1:
With the new update, the spring event “Guardian Games” will start
With the Guardian Games, a new exotic is also supposed to become available – the Machine Gun Succession. However, it is not yet known whether it will launch today.
The new exotic Succession
Additionally, the developers have already introduced some changes that are expected to be implemented in Destiny 2 today:
The annoying “Blacked out” problem while playing with friends should finally be fixed. Some friends are blacked out and displayed with a power level of 0. Playing together is currently not always possible because of this.
“Dusk’s Protection” should now properly generate Orbs of Light.
A complete upgrade of any bunker unlocks the associated “Warmind Security” triumph.
Interacting with the statue of Sjur Eido for the “Wishender” quest should not result in crashes.
The Level 32 LAS upgrade can now be used by any character to clear the bunker.
Rasputin’s daily Seraph weapon can now be obtained by any character.
Once you have completed the Forsaken campaign, the lore book entry “The Outlawed Borderland” will be completed and available for collection.
A complete list of all changes will be available with the patch notes for update 2.8.1.
The patch notes for Destiny 2 update 2.8.1 / 1.49
What do the patch notes say? First of all, we have linked the original English change log from Bungie.net for you below:
Because the official German patch notes for update 2.8.1 are not yet available. They are expected to be released later this evening and will be provided by us here as soon as possible.
In Pokémon GO the Safari Zone Liverpool took place last weekend. Our author Noah Struthoff was there and had to play from home due to the coronavirus.
This was the plan: At the beginning of the year, Niantic announced the Safari Zone in Liverpool. It quickly became clear to a friend and me that we didn’t want to miss this event. So we ordered tickets along with a flight and hotel.
However, the coronavirus messed up our plans. The Safari Zone did not take place in Liverpool. Instead, every trainer was given the opportunity to experience the event spawns from home.
In the end, the Safari Zone was a complete success due to this adjustment. I caught 33 Shinies and I believe that such an event would be really great for the future.
Safari Zone from Home – Here’s how it went
These were the adjustments: Every trainer who purchased a ticket for the Safari Zone in Liverpool could benefit from bonuses on one day. On the event day, there were special spawns for 6 or 8 hours (depending on which ticket you bought) that you would have normally found in Liverpool. It didn’t matter where you were located. The account with the ticket could see the spawns and no one else.
Additionally, incense lasted for 8 hours and attracted a Pokémon every half a minute. This made it twice as effective as the usual incense.
This is how the event started: Exactly at 10:00 local time, the spawns changed, and water Pokémon appeared everywhere in my city. A highlight was the regional Pokémon Relicanth, which can only be caught in New Zealand and the South Seas.
This is how I played: I walked through my small town for the full 8 hours. I was only accompanied by one other person and avoided any contact with other people.
I constantly used the catch trick and we kept running our usual lap that we normally use for playing. I only spent half an hour using lures, which lasted a full 3 hours.
What was the haul? The spawns were incredible and reminded me somewhat of the number of spawns during a spotlight hour. In those 8 hours, I caught over 2100 Pokémon and received a total of 33 Shinies.
For me, the new Shiny Lampi and a hat Pikachu, which can’t be caught outside of Safari Zones, were particularly interesting. I caught both as Shinies.
You can find my entire haul here:
I caught a total of 33 Shinies
Safari Zone for Home – An Event with a Future?
This is the current status of live events: In May, the Safari Zone for Philadelphia will take place. This will also be held from home and not onsite.
This speaks for such an event: The Safari Zone has shown that an event with a fee can indeed be organized from home.
The spawns in my small town were comparable to the spawns at the GO Fest 2019 in Dortmund and especially the incense item makes this event playable everywhere.
If Niantic actually organizes a GO Fest for everyone from home, I can only recommend it to everyone, as you get full value for your money.

Since people returned to Appalachia, there are companions in Fallout 76 who can join you. Currently, there are five of these allies. We will show you where to find them and how to get them to join you.
What are companions? Companions are part of the NPCs in the new Wastelanders update for Fallout 76. They are special characters that you can unlock and then settle in your camp. In Wastelanders, there are five:
Commander Sofia Daguerre, a crashed astronaut
Beckett, the former blood eagle raider
the raider punk
the settler wildsman
the guitar player (settler wanderer)
What do companions do? While the allies do not accompany you on quests and missions, they provide you with various quests and keep you company in your camp.
With the quests, you dive deeper into the story – which only applies to two of them:
Sofia and Beckett are intended to encourage players to get to know them and have deeper personalities
the wanderer, the punk, and the guitarist are just “good buddies” who hang out in the camp and provide some fun
Finding and unlocking all companions
For each companion, you must complete a task and then place a special item in your camp. However, you can only have one companion active at a time. If you want to be with someone else, you must dismantle the old item and place the new one. We will show you how to get each of the companions.
Commander Sofia Daguerre
Where can I find Sofia? The quest for Sofia starts with a distress call that you can receive near the Abandoned Bunker, which has a range that extends down into the Savage Divide near Foundation.
Roughly, you can orient yourselves by this: If you are in the Savage Divide, the distress signal can reach you. The associated quest is called “Ally: Crash Landing”.
The distress signal then leads you to that bunker, where Sofia is huddled injured in a corner. Talk to her, and she will tell you a bit about herself.
The red circle shows you the location of Sofia. The green area is roughly the reception area of the signal but extends further north and south.
How to unlock Sofia: After your first encounter with Sofia, she sends you on a short quest line with various tasks.
Spoiler: Sofia’s quest and story
You are to retrieve some data from a crashed rescue capsule with which she fell to Earth. Sofia is actually an astronaut of the United States Space Association (USSA) and was unaware of the nuclear war. It is up to you to acclimate her to this new world and help her.
Once you have completed the tasks, you can place the “USSA Console” in your camp. Once this is ready, Sofia will be found in your camp and will provide you with more tasks.
Where can I find Beckett? The quest “Ally: Narrow Escape” for Beckett starts near Rollins Work Camp and leads you to that location in the center of Ash Heap. He is likely to be the first companion new players encounter.
You should automatically receive the task when you visit the legendary merchant at her new location at Rusty Pick in Ash Heap. The signal can also be heard there.
The red circle is Beckett’s location. The green circle shows the new location of the legendary merchant.
How to unlock Beckett: Beckett is located in Rollins Prison in the large working machine at the corresponding camp. If you penetrate there, you will find the companion and can start the quest.
Spoiler: Beckett’s quest and story
During the quest, you will learn about Beckett and his past as a raider. You are to prevent him from being hanged as someone who turned his back on the gang. He commissions you to prevent his execution and eventually find his belongings.
During the quest line, you are to retrieve Beckett’s belongings from the smelters, after which you learn his camp item: Beckett’s Bar.
The Raider Punk
Where can I find the Punk? The Punk is one of the two companions for whom you need to do significantly less. You can find him in Crater, the raider’s camp located far north in the Toxic Valley.
He stands in the same building as the leader Meg. Upon entering the camp, keep to the right and go down the stairs in the building. There you will meet the punk and only need to talk to him briefly.
Without special skill checks, he will tell you after a short conversation that he prefers music to raiders, and you learn the plan for “Raider-Punk-Radio” for your camp.
The punk stands at the bottom of the stairs.
The Settler Wildsman
Where can I find the Wanderer? Similar to the punk, you do not need any special prerequisites for the Wanderer. Head to Foundation, the Settlers’ base, and enter the main building. Take the elevator down.
Near the water, the wanderer is usually standing at the shore. Unlike with the punk, however, you need a skill check. Make sure that you have invested at least 6 points in Intelligence or 8 points in Luck in your S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats.
If you pass one of the skill checks, you will learn the plan for the “Wildsman Chair,” on which the Wanderer wants to rest in your camp and enjoy the surroundings.
The wildsman stands on the railings near the biotope.
The Guitar Player (Settler Wanderer)
There is a fifth companion, a wanderer who entertains you in your camp with her guitar playing. Although you can also recruit her simply by talking to her, it is difficult to find her.
According to various sources, she has several points where she can randomly appear. Therefore, searching for her specifically is not possible. Three of the more precisely named locations are
just north of the Overseer’s camp
at Spruce Knob Lake south of Foundation.
in the small camp/tower just after Vault 76 on the way to Waywards
On the “Map for everything” in Fallout 76, the Map76, there is an option to filter for her called “RETriggerCamp.” According to this filter, the wanderer has 51 spawn points across the map:
Possible spawn points according to Map76. The locations are not all confirmed, and there are reports that other NPCs or companions can spawn there as well.
However, since it is not guaranteed that she will appear, it is probably better to just play and hope that she appears randomly. If you really want to recruit her, you should frequently visit these points through server hopping and be prepared for it to take several days.
With these requirements, you can have certain “encounters” with wild animals that only have half your current level. On a route between The Mire and Cranberry Bog, there are said to be particularly many encounters:
The starting point is a crashed Vertibird in the north of The Mire.
Once you find a suitable animal, you just need to approach it or aim at it with your weapon, if an approach doesn’t work. You should then have the options to “tame” and “calm”. Use “tame” and the animal will make its way to your camp.
While there isn’t a companion like Dogmeat from the earlier Fallout titles, you can have strong Yao Guais or Deathclaws as guardians. If you’re particularly mean, you can train your animal to use it in a deadly labyrinth as a trap for other players.

The bonus for experience points in World of Warcraft has company. With the buff “Impressive Influence” there is an additional treat: More reputation for all! However, with a limitation.
What is this bonus? Blizzard announced in a blog post that for a full five weeks there will be a 100% bonus on reputation rewards with the buff “Impressive Influence”. From April 20 to May 18, 2020, there will be double reputation from all sources for factions from Legion and Battle for Azeroth.
With the current XP bonus, you can level a character to level 120 in less than 13 hours. The new bonus allows you to unlock great rewards or even new races. The bonus will then passively apply at any time as before.
Together with the XP buff, you can then level your new race particularly quickly. If you need some help, you can find our leveling guide here:
These races you can unlock: Since WoW: Legion, there are numerous “Allied Races” that expand the portfolio of available races in World of Warcraft with additional options. New ones were added with Battle for Azeroth. In total, there are:
for the Alliance
Kul Tiran
Mechagnome
Dark Iron Dwarves
Lightforged Draenei
Void Elves
for the Horde
Zandalari Trolls
Vulpera
Mag’har Orcs
Highmountain Tauren
Nightborne
Allied races provide you with an additional mount and cosmetics. Shown here: Lightforged Draenei, Void Elves, Highmountain Tauren, and Nightborne.
Here the bonus won’t help you: With Patch 8.3 “Visions of N’Zoth”, two more factions entered the game: the Rajani in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms and the Accord of Uldum in Uldum.
Both factions offer strong and useful rewards such as the third level of certain essences for the Heart of Azeroth, an infinite rune for a boost in combat, as well as cosmetic rewards and mounts.
However, “Impressive Influence” will not apply to these two factions. Only factions before Patch 8.3 are affected. This helps you catch up on older content if you haven’t done so yet.

Due to a funny bug, players of the Casino Heist in GTA Online suddenly found it easier. They probably didn’t expect that.
What happened? The GTA player “Finnman0907” shared a funny video with the GTA Online reddit community. He calls it “Wow, a new approach to the Casino Heist”.
In it, a group of four players arrives at the GTA Online Casino dressed as pest control agents. They want to loot the vault and first need to sneak past the guard at the outer door. But one player bumps into the guard. The security man finds that not funny at all and immediately draws his weapon, but is dealt with by the players.
Then follows a loading screen for about a minute. After that, the players spawn in a completely different location with an armored truck.
A different approach to the Casino Heist was triggered, which was not intended for the pest control agents at all.

Here’s what you need to know: For the Casino Heist in GTA Online, there are three overarching approaches: Aggressive, Stealthy, and the chosen big con. In the big con, the group disguises itself with an outfit of their choice, which they gather through preparation missions. The options are between
At the planning table, you choose the approach for your heist
This is the advantage of the bug: On reddit, players write that this bug helped player Finnman0907 and his crew. “The easiest and fastest way to get the money,” writes one user. This provided a more direct route to the vault that they could then empty.
The downside, however, is that you won’t be disguised as police for the entire heist. One player explains on reddit, “After leaving the vault, they [the opponents] know you don’t belong to Group Six.”
So, only the beginning of the heist is suddenly very easy due to this bug. Players write that they have been using the bug for a long time to make various big con approaches easier.
With this heist, you already earn a lot of money in GTA Online, but you need teammates for it. Here we show you 12 ways to quickly earn a lot of money in GTA Online. Many of them also work flawlessly for solo players.
