CoD Warzone: Comeback for the Whole Team – Update brings ultimate reward

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 2 minutes

From today, it will be possible to earn a redeployment for your entire squad in Call of Duty: Warzone through a new contract. We explain what this is all about.

New update coming today: A new CoD update will be released tonight – for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and the in-house battle royale mode Warzone. More on this here: CoD MW & Warzone: Big new patch brings favorite mode and crazy weapons

In addition to the popular mode “Shoot the Ship”, a new weapon or new possibilities for individual weapon blueprints, a new feature specifically for Warzone is coming – a new type of contract, along with a very valuable reward for the battle royale.

Update April 29 – 10:00 AM: The patch is live and the new contracts are in the game. Here are the patch notes for update 1.20.

LMG Call of Duty Warzone Modern Title

This is what the ultimate reward is about: Previously, with contracts in Warzone, you could earn money and equipment or valuable reconnaissance data about the future gas circle.

After the new update on April 28, there will now be another type of contract that you can accept during a Warzone match – Most Wanted. This will allow you to earn a redeployment, known as a redeployment, for your entire squad.

This secures you an important advantage in combat and essentially acts as a kind of life insurance. So far, self-revivals could only be purchased by individual squad members. Additionally, redeployments for fallen squad members can be bought for credits – but again, only for individuals. With this new reward, it seems you can bring the entire team back into the fight at once.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare SpecOps Mission

Details on the exact function and application (whether it can be triggered deliberately or automatically when the last standing squad member dies) are still pending.

This is how the new “Most Wanted” contract works: This new contract can be found in the game world, just like the previous types of contracts. But the valuable reward that the new Contract brings is not given freely.

If you accept it, you make yourself a bounty target for all teams in Verdansk, that is, in the Warzone. To receive the ultimate reward, you must survive for a certain period while the bounty is active. So you are on the run and fighting for your life.

If you succeed in surviving, you earn the redeployment for your team – whether you are playing in trios or quads. But even as a solo player, you can earn this new reward.

What do you think of this new reward? A tactical game-changer? Or not worth the effort and risk? By the way, if you want to try out an exotic setup in addition to the new reward: Crazy OP setup in CoD Warzone makes weak crossbow really strong

Communist robot in Fallout 76 showers players with propaganda

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

In Fallout 76, it is possible to send a robot to search for items in the world. However, a new version of this tin friend has a curious peculiarity: it overwhelms players with communist propaganda, which can be quite annoying.

What does the robot do? You can buy the Communist Collectron for 500 atoms in the game. Then you command it to go out into the world and collect items. Just like you know from the regular Comrade Collectron.

The Communist Collectron, however, constantly spreads communist propaganda. It spouts phrases like: “We are the proletariat. Our work is never done!” or “Free yourselves from your chains!”

You can operate the robot in two modes:

  • Proletariat – The tin friend collects food and water
  • Revolutionary – The Collectron searches for blood packs and weapons
Fallout 76 Communist Collectron
You can buy the Communist Collectron in Fallout 76 for 500 atoms.

An annoying tin friend

How does the robot annoy the players? The communist sayings alone would still be funny. However, the Communist Collectron not only brings home the items it is supposed to search for. It also fills your stash with propaganda flyers. And not just one or two, but quite a few. And that happens every time you send it out.

This means you have to constantly dispose of these flyers. You can sell them for one caps each, but that involves quite a bit of effort, especially with the amount that accumulates.

And that can be quite annoying.

The Communist Collectron gets to work with communist sayings.

How do players react? The Communist Collectron is already a topic of conversation in the Fallout 76 community. Some find it annoying, others find the idea amusing.

  • Aero82Art says on reddit: “I really don’t like going on adventures for an hour and finding 8 propaganda posters, 1 frag grenade, and 1 box of Dandy Boy Apples. I understand it’s a joke item and overall I enjoy the bot and its sayings, but I spent 500 atoms on it, which is the same price as the normal Collectron that actually finds useful junk and items. The propaganda poster just takes up space in the bin, and I have to remove them. Please, please, please remove it from the possible loot pool. Thank you.”
  • FireRabbit67 explains on reddit: “The communist Collectron looks for weapons but mainly delivers useless propaganda flyers. I played for a few hours (maybe 3-4) and got 35-40 propaganda flyers as well as just a single frag grenade.”
  • CaptZombieHero is pretty annoyed on reddit: “So far the bastard has only brought 3 blood packs but 73 propaganda posters. What a waste of atoms.”
  • goblinite2 takes it with humor on reddit: “Why do you want to ban the literature of the people, comrades? If the commissar hears this, he will question your dedication to the party!”

The Wastelanders update not only brought the communist Collectron but many other new contents as well. Basically, Fallout 76 has now become the game it was meant to be from the start, says MeinMMO author Benedict Grothaus.

FIFA 20: Football professional destroys the Weekend League with 30:0 – Here is his team

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

Diogo Jota is usually responsible for scoring goals in the Premier League. Currently, the league is on pause – and Jota is showing what he can do in FIFA 20.

This is Diogo Jota: Diogo Jota is a Portuguese forward for the Premier League club Wolverhampton Wanderers. They currently sit in sixth place in the paused league – and Jota’s stats are impressive.

6 goals and 1 assist in the league, 6 more in the Europa League, and previously eight scoring points in the qualifiers – the forward knows how to create goals. And it seems he can seamlessly transfer this to FIFA 20.

Perfect Weekend League with a strong team

This is how Jota’s Weekend League went: On Twitter, Jota shared his success on Sunday: He actually managed to complete the entire Weekend League with 30:0, thus without a single defeat. That’s a ratio that even professionals only achieve on really strong weekends.

With this result, Jota ended the weekend ranked 61st on the global FIFA Top 100 list of the Weekend League. This means he will receive a lot of strong Weekend League rewards – and further improve his already strong team.

This is what Jota’s team looks like: In addition, on Twitter, Jota showed his team that got him into the Top 100. It features three Icons, as well as several Premier League colleagues with strong special cards:

Source: Diogo Jota/Twitter

From his own team, the Wolves, there is currently no card in the starting lineup. This even applies to his own strong Pro card: He only substitutes that in during a match. By the way, his first major success was not the Weekend League.

Jota defeats the Premier League in FIFA 20

Jota wins official tournament: During the current league pause, a large FIFA tournament was held in the Premier League featuring representatives from the league clubs. Stars like Raheem Sterling and Trent Alexander-Arnold were present – as well as Jota.

He made his way to the final and defeated Alexander-Arnold in extra time. This makes Jota the first ePremier League Champion in FIFA 20.

In addition to Jota, other football stars have also found their way to the console. This includes Sergio Agüero from Manchester City, for example. And the forward star complained directly to EA Sports.

You can now delete the Anti-Cheat system in Valorant, but it will return

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

In Valorant, the controversial anti-cheat tool Vanguard is causing trouble. The software activates upon starting the PC and is difficult to remove. However, the developers have listened to player complaints and offered options for more transparency and, at least temporarily, deletion.

What is Vanguard? Vanguard is an anti-cheat tool developed by Riot. The program aims to prevent and detect cheat software in the Beta of Valorant. Therefore, it installs a driver with admin rights deep in the system and always starts with the computer. This means Vanguard stays active and ensures that no malicious cheat software is in use. If you somehow delete Vanguard, you cannot play Valorant.

Since Vanguard simply integrates itself into your system and could potentially do anything, many players inherently distrust the tool. Such invasive practices are typically associated with harmful malware and viruses. Therefore, some players even boycott Valorant, even though they would actually enjoy playing it.

Riot sticks to Vanguard but offers a compromise

This is how Riot responded: In previous statements regarding the anti-cheat, Riot has remained firm. Yes, they understand that players find Vanguard’s approach strange, but it has to be this way, otherwise the cheaters will win.

However, Riot had promised earlier to show more transparency. And that seems to have happened now.

This is how Vanguard works now: As of now, you can see Vanguard. Instead of silently infiltrating your system, there is now a large red icon in your Windows notification area. You can find the notification area at the bottom right next to the clock display.

vanguard
Here in the bottom right, you can find the Vanguard icon.

If you click on the icon, you have the following options:

  • Hide Vanguard: You won’t see the icon anymore.
  • End Vanguard: Vanguard is no longer active. However, you will also not be able to play Valorant until you restart your entire system.
  • Uninstall Vanguard: If you don’t want Vanguard to start again after the next reboot, you can conveniently remove it completely from the disk. However, if you start Valorant, it will be downloaded again, and you will have to reboot your system to play. So, you won’t be rid of it here either if you want to keep playing.

Especially the last option is intended by Riot to ensure that during a longer Valorant break, Vanguard will definitely be removed from your disk and won’t mistakenly block harmless programs or even prevent you from charging your phone on the PC. This indeed happened to a former CS:GO pro in Valorant.

Fortnite: Use Splitscreen on PS4 and Xbox One – Guide

Eilyn Rapp Eilyn Rapp Reading time 4 minutes

The splitscreen mode in Fortnite Battle Royale is a feature on PS4 and Xbox One. But is the feature available on PC and Nintendo Switch? We explain to you in this English guide how to set it up and where you can use it.

What does the splitscreen bring? This feature in Fortnite allows you to play with your friends on a PS4/Xbox One. You can log in on the same console and simply share the screen.

The splitscreen was introduced with the Update 11.30 for Fortnite Battle Royale. Here you can also see the official trailer for splitscreen in Fortnite:

This is what splitscreen looks like in Fortnite

This is how splitscreen works on PS4 and Xbox One

To set up the splitscreen on PS4 and Xbox One, we have compiled a tutorial in English that explains how the feature works exactly.

For advanced users, there is a brief “Step by Step” guide here. We will go into more detail about this in the section below.

  1. Log in 2 players on the console

    Connect the 2nd controller to the console with a charging cable and log in the second accountFortnite splitscreen controller

  2. Log in to Fortnite

    Open Fortnite and add another player in the lobby. Fortnite-splitscreen-player-in-lobby

  3. Start Fortnite game

    Once both players are in the Fortnite lobby, you can normally start a duo or team game.Fortnite-splitscreen-both-in-lobby

  4. Splitscreen gets activated

    The match starts, and your screen is divided into 2 halves. You did it, and can now play together.Fortnite splitscreen instruction title

I, Eilyn, tried the splitscreen feature on PS4 myself. I noticed that the process isn’t that difficult, but without a guide, I wouldn’t have known what to do. Therefore, we have prepared a more detailed guide for you.

1. Step: Log in both players on the console

How does it work? The player who owns the console turns it on first as usual. Thus, he is already logged in.

Now, however, the 2nd controller needs to be connected. For this, you connect the 2nd controller to the console with the charging cable and press the home button.

A new window will open, and you can either select a saved account or log in a new user.

The 2nd player should definitely log in their PS4 account linked with the Fortnite account. Otherwise, you won’t have access to your Epic account.

Once both players are logged into the console, you switch to the owner’s account. There you can now start Fortnite.

Important: If you want to use splitscreen on Xbox One, only player 1 needs an Xbox Live Gold subscription.

2. Step: Log in to Fortnite

What do you need to do? Now that you have opened Fortnite and are in the lobby, you still need to log in the 2nd player.

For this, you will find a function at the bottom right that shows you which button to press for the 2nd player to join the lobby. It says: (P2) Log in (Hold).

Fortnite-splitscreen-player-in-lobby
On my PS4, the buttons are swapped, which is why it says Circle instead of X here

Now hold that button down. Afterwards, a window will open that looks similar to the login window. A few seconds later, both players will be in the lobby.

Fortnite-splitscreen-both-in-lobby
Both players are now in the Fortnite lobby

The splitscreen feature is still in its early phase. Therefore, only the modes “Duo” and “Teams” are possible with this feature.

3. Step: Start Fortnite game

What do you need to do? Now you can start the game normally. You join a server.

If everything worked, you will now have a split screen. You can see both characters on the monitor. To avoid confusion, a picture of your skin will be displayed next to your game image.

Fortnite-splitscreen-function
With splitscreen, the screen is divided and you can see both characters at the same time

Is splitscreen not working perfectly?

As mentioned, I tried the splitscreen on PS4 myself. Although I find the feature good and practical, and the sound is not affected, there are still a few things that do not work as I would like:

  • The quality is a bit worse and the game does not run as smoothly (the FPS are divided: 30 FPS per player)
  • The emotes do not work. I would have found that particularly cool and it was a shame that it doesn’t work (hopefully just a bug)
Fortnite-splitscreen-in-game

Does splitscreen work on PC and Nintendo Switch?

An additional drawback is that splitscreen is currently only available on the PS4 and Xbox One consoles. You cannot start a splitscreen on your PC or Nintendo Switch.

As the feature is still in the testing phase, this could still be added so that you can access it on other devices.

What do you think? How do you find the splitscreen feature in Fortnite?

The Last of Us Part II PS4 Adventure postponed – New release date known

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 3 minutes

The long-awaited PS4 adventure The Last of Us Part II has been postponed indefinitely. Originally, the release was planned for May 29, 2020. However, the date will not be kept due to the coronavirus. According to the developer Naughty Dog, the game is almost finished. Now Sony has announced the official date for the game.

Update 27.04.2020: Sony has now officially announced the new release date for The Last of Us Part II (via blog.us.playstation.com). Now we finally know when the game will officially be released for PlayStation 4:

  • The new release date for “The Last of Us Part II” is June 19, 2020.
  • For Ghost of Tsushima, the release date has also been announced simultaneously. The game will follow a bit later on July 17, 2020.

Original message:

What did Sony announce? In a brief statement, Sony shared via the PlayStation Twitter account that both games The Last of Us Part II and Marvel’s Iron Man VR are being postponed indefinitely.

The reason given was the global crisis that currently prevents both titles from providing the experience that players deserve.

Game is actually finished

What do we know about the postponement? The website Kotaku reports that the developer Naughty Dog is said to have nearly completed the post-apocalyptic The Last of Us II.

So the reason for the delay lies with Sony and could, according to Kotaku, have logistical and economic reasons.

A scene from the trailer for The Last of Us Part II that garnered a lot of attention.

This is what Naughty Dog says: Meanwhile, the developers Naughty Dog have spoken out about Twitter .

It is said that they are almost finished with the development of The Last of Us Part 2 and are in the process of eliminating the last bugs.

The postponement is due to logistical problems. They want to ensure that everyone can play The Last of Us Part II at the same time. That is currently not guaranteed.

Therefore, they are delaying the game until the logistical issues are resolved.

They are a bit discouraged by this decision but believe that it is ultimately the best and fairest solution for all players. The team hopes that the delay of Last of Us Part 2 does not take too long and that they will soon have new information to share with the players.

Why is this annoying? The Last of Us Part II is a highly anticipated title. For many players, the predecessor was a real highlight among all the games released for PlayStation.

The game was very successful and even has its own series. Accordingly, the anticipation for the sequel was huge.

However, there was already a delay of The Last of Us Part II before. The title was originally supposed to be released on February 21, but was then postponed to May 29. Now the release is being delayed even further.

Much understanding for the delay of Last of Us Part II

This is how players react to the delay of Last of Us Part II: Sony’s tweet quickly received nearly a thousand comments. Reactions varied, but were mostly positive:

  • some remark that it is a “delayed, cruel April Fools’ joke”
  • many show their understanding for the postponement due to current circumstances
  • some mention that this is the next painful delay after Cyberpunk 2077
  • but there are also some who are optimistic: Last of Us Part II will be worth the wait
https://twitter.com/InspiredByLM10/status/1245775312379686914

Are there further delays?

Sony writes in another tweet that apart from the two mentioned titles, no further delays are currently planned. Players will be kept updated via tweets should such changes occur.

So far, Corona has only led to a postponement of the Wastelanders update for Fallout 76. However, it is likely that other AAA titles will also be released later due to the current situation.

Niantic has already made various changes so you can play Pokémon GO better from home. This is now another useful addition.

Who can use the passes? Initially, the new feature was only available to players at level 40. Gradually, the level requirements were lowered and finally reached level 5.

What is the range? With the new pass, you can interact with all raids that are in the Nearby list. You do not have to walk to the corresponding location.

However, you cannot access raids that are further away than your displayed range.

With the pass, you can tackle all raids that are in your vicinity.

What other limitations are there? Those participating in a raid from a distance will deal reduced damage with their Pokémon. At the beginning of the feature, this limitation should not apply yet. It will be introduced over time.

Additionally, only a limited number of players can be in the raid lobby from a distance.

Additionally, your buddy will bring you gifts in the future, so you won’t have to leave your home for that either.

Destiny 2 talks about cheaters but omits many points, it is too secret

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

In Destiny 2 , Bungie has admitted that there is a cheating problem that has significantly increased. A key measure Bungie is presenting is that players who play with cheaters will also be banned. Much else remains secret.

Bungie had announced that they would talk about cheating. Now the statements are here, but they fall a bit short. Bungie does not mention essential points of their strategy – for fear of revealing too much to the cheaters.

Bungie admits: In a blog post, Destiny Engineering Director David Aldridge confirmed exactly what players have been calling for months. Cheating has significantly increased in Destiny 2:

  • Cheating has increased by 50% since January 2020
  • Currently, 2133 players are banned per week; before Season 10, it was only 656
  • most cheating comes from PC, which is particularly susceptible to “Memory-Poke” attacks.
Destiny 2 Trials lighthouse
If you are pulled to the lighthouse, you will be banned – if a cheater is pulling you.

If you are pulled by a cheater, you will be banned

This is the clear measure Bungie plans: From now on, Bungie says they want to ban or restrict players who benefit from cheaters, even if they do not cheat themselves.

This applies to both people who play with cheaters and those who let themselves be pulled by a cheater, either when playing with him or by giving him their own account.

Anyone who “rides flawlessly in the Trials” with a cheater will be banned.

Twitch streamer challenges hackers in Destiny 2 – presents anti-cheater build
von Philipp Hansen

Shh, the bad guys must not know this

These are the secret measures Bungie is planning: The somewhat unsatisfactory part of the blog post is a series of points that Bungie is working on, but they do not want to say anything about. They want the players to know that they are working on it.

They do not say anything about aimbots or wallhacks. Because they do not want to give the cheaters an advantage.

Lagswitching, which is particularly annoying on consoles, is being monitored, but they want to be careful not to ban innocent players with a bad connection.

“Additional initiatives will not be discussed publicly”

Another “secret measure” that Bungie is planning is mentioned but is immediately “censored”; it is too secret to be discussed publicly.

Bungie also states that for those who have previously criticized that the cheating problem has become larger since Destiny 2 moved to Steam instead of Battle.net, they can be reassured that Bungie regularly talks with the Steam security team to address the issues.

Furthermore, Bungie assures that they will give cheating a higher priority and assign more employees to the issue.

What this is about: The post from Bungie reads as previous posts on the topic of “cheating.” Bungie says they are working on it, but they don’t go into too much detail for fear of losing an informational advantage.

Just at the beginning of April, Bungie emphasized that they are working on the problem – but it has gotten even worse in the weeks since. These postings have faded in the past when the PvP experience has not changed.

Trials armor
The Trials are closely related to cheating.

Trials of Osiris primarily have a problem with cheating. Participation has significantly decreased, especially on PC.

One idea for how Bungie could curb cheating here involves charging money for the Trials.

Football star criticizes FIFA 20: Even EA is too stingy for him

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

The football professional Sergio Agüero is currently streaming FIFA 20 and had clear words about the packs in FIFA Ultimate Team during a broadcast.

Who is it about? The footballer Sergio Agüero is known as a professional of the Argentine national team and as a player for Manchester City in the Premier League.

Since the Premier League is currently on pause, the professional, like various teammates, has turned to livestreaming. Agüero is streaming FIFA 20 Ultimate Team.

What the professional says about the card packs

What happened? Agüero played together with Eduardo Salvia, an Argentine football colleague. They talked about “FUT teams” and Agüero explained to him how he gets good players for his team.

This was all communicated in Spanish and translated by reddit user josesaabz. He said:

If you want colorful cards, you have to buy FIFA Points with your credit card, man. That’s how it is. Expect nothing from EA Sports, as they will give you nothing. If they gave me these 2 cards, then imagine [what they would give you].

So he says that even the professionals in FIFA 20 don’t receive any real special treatment and have to buy the good cards themselves. He immediately tells his Argentine colleague that he shouldn’t expect too much. If even the star Agüero only gets 2 good cards, the lesser-known player should not have high hopes.

The reddit user josesaabz also adds: Agüero has already complained about EA because they still haven’t given him his Pro Player Card with 99 rating. And this, even though he has been streaming FIFA for some time now.

He also mentioned that EA gave the player Vinícius Junior his 99 card because they favor Real Madrid. This can be seen in the fact that Eden Hazard is featured on the cover of FIFA 20.

CoD professional gets kicked from team – hit on the wrong woman during the tournament

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

The professional player Christopher “Parasite” Duarte was fired by his team in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. The reason: He hit on the wrong woman. This was already his 31st team, and he soon showed deep regret.

Who is it about? Parasite is one of the better players in Call of Duty e-sports. In 2013 he won the CoD Championship in Black Ops 2 with his team and has since had repeated successes, most recently in the Call of Duty Challengers (Week 4) in Los Angeles, where he took first place (via liquipedia).

According to a 2019 documentary by Dexerto, Parasite is the “most hated CoD player.” Some players suspect this is because he is the stereotypical gamer: overweight, glasses, moody, and a bad loser. We have embedded the documentary here for you:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0t49Kxq5a8

Parasite has already been through numerous teams. As the US site Dexerto reports, he has been in 31 different teams over the past seven years. The latest of these dismissed him only on April 26 – and it was because of a woman.

What did he do? Parasite competed with the team WestR in the Call of Duty Challengers (CDC) Chicago Open 2020.

The CDC are amateur tournaments for players who have not yet made it into the larger Call of Duty League (CDL) and hope to be discovered by major teams. There is already a playlist according to CDL rules available for interested parties in Modern Warfare.

Parasite managed to make it to the finals with his team, where they lost to Team Singularity. However, shortly after the games, his teammate Alex “Zapitus” Bonilla accused him of hitting on his girlfriend during the tournament via private messages.

This led to a dispute that ultimately resulted in Parasite having to leave the team. He indirectly announced this by marketing himself as a “free agent.”

Pro shows regret: “I deserve the hate”

In a now-deleted post, Parasite says that he deserves all the hate. He threw away a friendship and a top-2 challenger team for something “so stupid.”

In further tweets, he talks about not having thought clearly. It was a mistake, and he wants to focus on the future and finding a new team (via Twitter). The CoD e-sports remain his goal.

Advice from an Overwatch analyst, MonteCristo, may have helped Parasite. He suggested that after a player was banned for sexual harassment, one should first masturbate before tweeting. This could help avoid embarrassing mistakes.

To raid in WoW Classic, shroud took a private jet for $13,000

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 2 minutes

The streamer shroud is among the best shooter players in the world. However, he is also excited about WoW Classic. For a raid in Blackwing Lair, shroud even hired an expensive private jet, as he mentioned in the livestream.

What a move! The streamer Michael “shroud” Grzesiek streamed a lot of WoW Classic in the summer of 2019, which even cost him the first place on Twitch. His viewers were mainly used to shooter gameplay from the former CS:GO professional.

But even after the release phase, WoW Classic did not let him go.

At the release of Blackwing Lair, a raid instance from Phase 3 of WoW Classic, shroud rented a private jet to quickly get from Las Vegas to Los Angeles and participate in it. He wanted to be among the first attempts. shroud lives in Southern California, so he probably wanted to make it home in time with the flight.

Flight costs shroud $13,000

What does shroud say? In a livestream together with Justin “Just9n” Ortiz, they discussed the costs of air travel, bringing up the topic of private jets.

shroud then shared live about his first experiences with a jet:

It was really incredibly awesome […].

You know, I only did this to participate in my WoW raid. No other flight would allow me to attend my WoW raid, except with a private jet.

I could have booked a regular flight, but I needed to get to my WoW raid; after all, it was the release day of BWL.

How expensive was the trip? After this brief excursus, his streaming colleague “Just9n” asked if he had rented the jet and how much the trip had cost.

According to shroud, the rental of the jet cost $6,600 per hour. The flight lasted two hours, so the BWL raid cost the streamer about $13,000.

At least drinks and food were included on board.

Alternatively, the trip with a regular flight would have cost him about $1,500. But with that, he would have arrived too late for the raid, as he revealed later in the livestream.

Why does shroud spend so much money? His counterpart “Just9n” called him a nerd in the livestream and deemed him crazy for spending so much money on a raid.

But shroud can apparently afford it.

Experts estimate that he and his colleague Ninja earn about $10 million per year, even if there are no official figures.

Thus, the move to Mixer has certainly been financially worthwhile for both of them. In return, however, they have noticeably lost viewers. During special events, like the Twitch Drops for Valorant, this becomes especially apparent.

WoW: Player brings 46 heroes to level 120 – They all have the same class

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

The WoW player DesMephisto is known for bringing a large number of characters in the MMORPG to level 120. Now it is already 46 – and all have the same class. Moreover, he drew attention to the organization Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN) with a new Twitch streaming record.

What has DesMephisto achieved? In April 2019, MeinMMO reported that the player has brought 29 characters in the MMORPG World of Warcraft to the current maximum level of 120.

In August, there were already 41. In the meantime, this number has risen to 46. These are only characters that have the Warrior class.

He always plays one male and one female character of the same race as Warriors and levels them to level 120. So he has:

  • Orc Warrior Level 120
  • Orc Warrior Female Level 120
  • Night Elf Warrior Level 120
  • Night Elf Warrior Female Level 120
  • Tauren Warrior Level 120
  • Tauren Warrior Female Level 120 and so on…

Thanks to the current XP buff he even needs only about 13 hours to bring a Warrior to the maximum level. On Imgur, DesMephisto created a gallery with all his 46 Warriors.

Why does the player do this? Allegedly, it has a meditative effect on him and is calming, as can be read on reddit. Moreover, the Warrior is simply his favorite class and one of the few classes in WoW that can be played by every race. They are also quite popular: In our list of the most popular classes, the Warrior ranks at number 4.

WoW Level 120 Tauren Warrior
The Tauren Warrior Moosejuggs is one of the 46 characters that WoW player DesMephisto has brought to level 120.

Streaming for a Good Cause

What else did the player achieve? But that’s not the only thing he accomplished. On April 24, he broke the previous record in WoW live streaming on Twitch, which stood at 32 hours and 36 minutes.

DesMephisto managed to stream for around 36 hours. That is a new record.

Why did he do this? DesMephisto did not just want to break the previous record; with his livestream, he wanted to raise awareness for autism. He is himself autistic, as he says, and therefore collected donations for the organization Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN) during the stream.

A total of $2,750 in donations were raised. A video of the entire stream has been embedded here for you:

WoD do you know – It is a 35-hour stream – Guinness World Record – Charity Stream – ASAN – $2750 raised !charity !donate !record by DesMephisto on www.twitch.tv

Who is DesMephisto, anyway? The player is quite well known in the WoW community, known as “the crazy one who loves to play Warriors”.

He has basically perfected leveling new characters in WoW and developed a routine. Since he is autistic himself, he loves habits and optimizations. You can find his achievements in the MeinMMO article on the craziest achievements in WoW of all time.

Unfair glitch in CoD MW gives a decisive advantage even before the round starts

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare a nasty bug is making the rounds, which could provide an unfair advantage. We will show you the problem.

This is the glitch: This error allows you to start a round before all other players. You have about 10 seconds of lead time and can walk to the enemy spawn to shoot them immediately.

This gives you a nasty advantage and especially in the right game modes this can be game-deciding.

Players show nasty glitch – Developers promise improvement

This is the glitch: The error itself has been in the game for several days. For example, 3 days ago, the reddit user “koopabeach” posted about the error he was able to benefit from:

Here the error is particularly severe: In matches where there is a respawn, you cannot decide entire rounds at least. In other modes like “Search and Destroy” this glitch is game-deciding. You can directly eliminate a whole enemy team and claim victory just because you spawned 10 seconds before everyone else.

How does the glitch occur? This is not quite clear. Several players report that they suddenly managed to start a round before everyone else. There does not seem to be a precise principle behind it.

What is being done against the glitch? Already last week Infinity Ward commented on this bug. Joe Cecot, the Co-Design Director of Infinity Ward, stated that the bug is awful, but they currently have no solution for it.

Even a week later, there seems to be no improvement regarding this error. So it might well be that you suddenly start a round before everyone else. However, you might also be disadvantaged and be taken out immediately upon spawning, so be vigilant right at the start of the round.

If you want to be successful in multiplayer, then we show you 3 quick tips for that.

New MMORPG about Warhammer reveals first details in video

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 2 minutes

There are games set in the Warhammer universe across various genres, and they enjoy great popularity among players. Currently, a new mobile MMORPG called Odyssey is in development. This reveals new details in a video.

What kind of game is this? Warhammer Odyssey will be a free-to-play MMORPG by Virtual Realms. It will be released for Android and iOS, but is not supposed to play like a typical mobile MMORPG.

Odyssey forgoes auto-play and is intended to be more in line with the gameplay of PC MMORPGs. The focus is on PvE and playing in small groups, although there are also plans for PvP that have not been published yet.

The game takes you to iconic places such as:

  • Marienburg
  • Drakwald Forest
  • Wasteland

In a new video, the developers gave a first glimpse into the character editor of the game. However, it is somewhat limited even by mobile standards.

The new Warhammer MMORPG is also intended to be pleasantly dark.

A limited editor

What do you see in the video? In the character editor, you have the choice between 6 classes, each automatically tied to a race:

  • Archmage – Elf
  • Shadow Warrior – Elf
  • Witch Hunter – Human
  • Warrior Priest – Human
  • Slayer – Dwarf
  • Engineer – Dwarf

You can customize your character in 8 different settings, but you always have a limited selection. For example, the Warrior Priest only has 5 different faces available. The editor is therefore by no means as extensive as in Black Desert or similar titles.

https://youtu.be/Wc1qm_q0cno

What is the mood like under the video? Even though there are few customization options, the video is well received by viewers. Many express great anticipation for the new Warhammer title.

Especially the Warrior Priest class is praised for being iconic in the old PC MMORPG Age of Reckoning.

Finally another Warhammer MMORPG

Anticipation despite Mobile? Odyssey will be a mobile MMORPG and this genre is often frowned upon in the West. It is often equated with pay-to-win and autoplay.

However, the new Warhammer game is currently well received. A video introducing Marienburg, the capital of Odyssey, currently has nearly 20,000 views and only 29 dislikes (as of April 27).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifpA4fQu4y8

In general, there is a lot of interest in a new Warhammer MMORPG, as the private server “Return of Reckoning” shows. The game that was closed in 2013 is currently experiencing a massive boom, partly due to more and more Twitch streamers and YouTubers becoming aware of the server.

It is quite possible that a well-made mobile MMORPG in this universe will be received positively.

When will Odyssey be released: In an update regarding the current Corona pandemic (via Twitter), the developers announced that a beta is currently planned for the first half of 2020.

However, there is no exact release date yet.

For those who do not want to wait for the release of Odyssey for a MMORPG on their smartphone, you can find in our list 7 good mobile MMORPGs that we can recommend in 2020.

In FIFA 20, Goretzka is now really strong – Is the expensive card worth it?

Julian Schröder Julian Schröder Reading time 4 minutes

In FIFA 20 there is now a new special card of Leon Goretzka that can boast values at Icon level. If you have a Bundesliga team, you should definitely scrape together some coins, however the card is not cheap.

Leon Goretzka was able to raise 3.9 million euros for charitable purposes together with teammate Joshua Kimmich through a joint Corona relief campaign. For this engagement, EA Sports introduced a new Goretzka card in FIFA 20 Ultimate Team.

This is the Goretzka card: The new Player Moments card of Goretzka is extremely strong with a 91 rating and should be welcomed in any Bundesliga team. It has outstanding values and can keep up with the strongest cards in the game.

You can unlock it through a Squad Building Challenge (SBC) that has no expiration date. So you can take your time. However, the only downside of this top card is the price: The SBC costs around 545,000 coins (PS4, as of April 27) and thus is quite an amount.

Is the Goretzka card worth it?

This is what the card can do: The new special card of Leon Goretzka has values in the endgame range. All stats of his card have no value below 80, and the values even tend to scratch the 90 mark. With Player Moments Goretzka, you get a complete midfielder that can be used excellently offensively, centrally, or even defensively.

The two best cards of Leon Goretzka

Compared to his previous top card, his 88 UCL live version, there are some very strong improvements. The new Moments card especially features grand values in the areas of shooting (90), passing (89), and dribbling (91).

The biggest jumps compared to his also very strong RTTF card occur in the following areas:

  • Speed: 85 -> 89
  • Shooting: 85 -> 90
  • Dribbling: 86 -> 91

This is how you make the card even stronger: You get the most out of the card when you use the chem style “Engine”. This boosts speed, passing, and dribbling to nearly maximum values.

Detailed stats with chem style “Engine”

If you prefer to play Goretzka slightly more defensively as a CDM, the chem style “Anchor” is recommended. There, especially the defensive abilities are boosted.

Here’s why you should get the card: If you play a Bundesliga team and only want the best players, then the new Goretzka card is a must. With its absolute top values, it even outperforms 91 Icon Zinedine Zidane. The only disadvantage is Goretzka’s skill moves and weak foot compared to Zidane.

Goretzka can even keep up with top icons

How to get the card

This is what you need to do: You have to complete 3 SBC tasks to secure the new Goretzka card. These are anything but cheap and require many strong cards. If you still have a few strong untradeable cards in the club, the price can be slightly reduced.

Task 1 – Germany

The following requirements must be met:

  • German players: At least 1
  • Inform card: 1
  • Team rating: At least 86
  • Team chemistry: At least 70
  • Number of players: 11

This is what the solution could look like:

The solution costs you about 155,000 coins (PS4)

Task 2 – Bundesliga

The following requirements must be met:

  • Players from Bundesliga: At least 1
  • Inform card: 1
  • Team rating: At least 86
  • Team chemistry: At least 70
  • Number of players: 11

This is what the solution could look like:

The solution costs you about 165,000 coins (PS4)

Task 3 – 87-rated Squad

The following requirements must be met:

  • Inform card: 1
  • Team rating: At least 87
  • Team chemistry: At least 65
  • Number of players: 11

This is what the solution could look like:

The solution costs you about 220,000 coins (PS4)

Other really strong cards can also be found in the current TOTSSF event (Team of the Season So Far). Have you had any pack luck yet?

Insane OP loadout in CoD Warzone makes sluggish crossbow really powerful now

Maik Schneider Maik Schneider Reading time 3 minutes

The crossbow has few enthusiastic supporters in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare & Warzone. But it can be a nasty monster, especially in the Battle Royale offshoot Warzone, taking opponents out of the KO phase. Try this explosive OP setup.

Why is the crossbow so unpopular? Call of Duty: Modern Warfare offers players a lot of weapons, including a few oddities like the double-barreled shotgun 725 or the crossbow. While the 725, with its 2 snappy shots in the chamber, excites many soldiers, the slow crossbow usually stays in the weapons cabinet – too slow, too weird, too bad.

However, in Warzone, this rather old-fashioned weapon could become a hit. With an explosive setup, the bolt-firing weapon gets enough power to shoot weakened enemies directly out of the match and leave opponents no chance of revival.

Explosive setup makes crossbow shine in Warzone

What does the setup look like? With this equipment combination, you rely on the nasty explosive bolts and increase the speed of your projectiles for hits at long distances:

cod warzone weapons crossbow explosive setup
  • Cable: 28-strand cable
  • Bows: XRK Thunder 90 kg
  • Sight: XRK Rangemaster VZ
  • Bolt: FTAC Fury 20″ bolt
  • Extra: Agility

The strong cable paired with the 90 kg draw weight of the bow makes the bomb bolts “arrow-fast” onto your enemies. As an extra, you can take “Agility” to reduce the long loading time of the bolts. If you don’t mind the long reload time, switch to a stock or underbarrel to increase aiming stability.

With the “XRK Rangemaster”, you get a special sight for the crossbow that provides you with 2 zoom levels: 3.0x and 6.1x magnification. If the large sights are not to your liking, or you want to avoid lens reflection, you can use something smaller here. In general, you should play this setup like a sniper in Warzone.

What’s important are the explosive arrows and the attachments for faster bolts. Here you can find a bit of crossbow gameplay so you can see for yourself how strong the combo can be:

I consent to external content being displayed to me. Personal data can be transmitted to third party platforms. Read more about our privacy policy.
Link to the YouTube content

Why is it so strong? With this setup, you get an unusual weapon with advantages that no other firearm can provide. In Warzone, especially 3 properties stand out that make the weapon absolutely OP in the right hands:

  • Bolts do not need to hit to get kills
  • Explosive projectiles can take opponents out of the KO phase
  • One-shot kills without headshot hits

With that, the setup makes a solid statement, and rightly so. The explosive bolts can take out players, even if they have two full armor plates. After they are “downed” and lying on the ground, the bolt goes off and sends them directly to the Gulag.

Even players with full plates are not safe. Arrow and explosion deal enough damage to knock out the enemy. With one shot, this can only be done by the powerful sniper weapons of Warzone.

And even if the arrow misses, you still have a good chance of getting a big hit. Within a radius of about one meter around the bolt, there’s a powerful explosion that hurts a lot.

The well-known CoD YouTuber “Drift0r” has closely examined the properties of the weapon in his English in-depth analysis at the launch of the crossbow in Season 2. Check it out if you want to learn more about the bolt-firing weapon.

cod modern warfare warzone weapons crossbow challenge
The crossbow is not just given away. You have to earn it with a DMR challenge.

How do I get the crossbow? You don’t get the weapon just by leveling up; instead, you have to unlock the crossbow with a challenge. Unlocking and leveling up can take some time, but it could be worth it. With this nasty OP setup, you leave no chance for the opponents you catch.

But here also lies the weakness of the otherwise really nasty setup – hitting with the crossbow is not that easy.

Borderlands 3 has a new weapon – here you can find the Yellowcake

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

In Borderlands 3 there is a new weapon called the Yellowcake that can deal huge damage. Where can you find the currently strongest cannon?

This is the Yellowcake: The Yellowcake is a rocket launcher manufactured by the Children of the Vault. Accordingly, it does not have a magazine in the typical sense, but overheats with heavy use. However, the heavy weapon does not need too many shots.

The Yellowcake was introduced with the new update as part of the “Revenge of the Cartels” event. It fires a projectile that splits multiple times, causing extra damage – in ridiculously high numbers. The rocket launcher always comes with radiation elemental damage and distributes it thanks to its explosion radius to plenty of enemies.

The cannon is also capable of melting bosses in high Mayhem levels with a single shot – as fans have already noted on reddit:

Finding Yellowcake – where is the rocket launcher?

You can find the Yellowcake here: You can acquire the Yellowcake during the cartel event, provided that bugs are not hindering your gameplay too much.

On one hand, cartel boss Joey Ultraviolet drops the Yellowcake when you defeat him in the villa. Also, underboss Tyrone Smallums can drop the rocket launcher, just like “FISH SLAP!”, which you can also encounter outside the villa. If you’re on the hunt for the launcher, the Ultraviolet villa is the most rewarding place to search.

Villa Ultraviolet
The Villa Ultraviolet is suitable for searching

You can reach the Villa Ultraviolet by defeating cartel gangsters for Maurice throughout the galaxy. They drop coordinates that you can use to teleport to the villa. There, with a bit of luck, you can find the weapon.

However, it is possible that the Yellowcake will be nerfed a bit in the coming weeks. This is what happened with the “ION Cannon”, which was incredibly strong at release. However, it is still useful and dangerous – the Yellowcake rocket launcher will likely remain a powerful weapon.

5 monsters in Pokémon GO that make the new top TM particularly worthwhile

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 3 minutes

In Pokémon GO there are now the Top TMs (Elite TMs) and numerous Pokémon can benefit. But which monsters are worth it the most?

What are Top TMs? These items have been available since the Community Day with Abra. You could buy a Top TM in the Community Day box. With this item, you can teach your Pokémon moves that it could only learn for a short time and that are now typically no longer available.

The list of learnable moves is long and Top TMs are rare. So the question is: Which Pokémon should receive an Elite TM?

Top TMs are that rare: The item has only been available once so far. You had to buy the box from the Community Day to get it. The next opportunity for a Top TM is at the end of Season 1 of the PvP League. You will receive such a TM if you are ranked 7.

Best Pokémon for the Top TM

Mewtwo: The Psychic-type Pokémon is probably the best choice for many players. It has advantages in raids and PvP thanks to the Elite TM. You could teach it the attack combination Psycho Cut and Shadow Ball. Both charge moves are extremely powerful, but they have never been available to Mewtwo at the same time.

With Psycho Cut, Mewtwo is the best Psychic attacker and with Shadow Ball, it is among the best Ghost attackers. Now, you can create a powerful combination.

It’s also possible that you only got a good Mewtwo with Shadow Ball, but when the attack Psycho Cut was available, you only caught bad Mewtwos. You can now compensate for this and create two different attackers from one Mewtwo.

In PvP, Mewtwo is useful with both attacks. Previously, it was the case that the opponent knew when, for example, Psycho Cut was used, no Shadow Ball could follow. Now it’s different, and you can confuse and outsmart your opponent well.

Pokémon GO Mewtwo Title 2
Mewtwo is probably the best choice for the Top TM

Mew: The mysterious Pokémon has a special feature. It can learn a total of 25 charge moves and it costs a lot of normal TMs to learn the right moves. There, the randomness decides which move is chosen.

With the Top TM, however, you can easily select the correct move. However, keep in mind that Mew will not become incredibly strong, but you’re merely saving normal TMs here. If you have enough normal TMs, you should use them for Mew and not the rare Top TM.

Especially for PvP, Mew is interesting because your opponent cannot know at all which moves your Mew has.

Which moves are worth it for Mew, we show you here:

  • Dark Claw (Fast) and Psycho Shock, Grass Knot (Charge)
  • Dark Claw (Fast) and Surf, Rock Slide (Charge)
  • Dark Claw (Fast) and Ice Beam, Thunder Punch (Charge)

How to get to Mew, you can find out here:

How to Catch Mew in Pokémon GO – Guide for a Mysterious Discovery

Zapdos: The legendary Pokémon can learn the fast move Thunder Shock through the Top TM. This makes it especially more useful in PvP, as it is quickly used and charges the charge move particularly quickly.

Keep in mind, however, that there was only one Top Charge TM through the Community Day box. The Top TM for fast moves will only be available at the end of the PvP season.

Jynx: Many trainers may wonder why this seemingly useless Pokémon made it onto this list. The reason for this is the two ice moves Ice Shard (Fast) and Icy Wind (Charge). Both enhance Jynx tremendously for the Super League in PvP and this previously useless Pokémon becomes really strong.

Together with a second charge move of the Water type, Jynx becomes quite agile in battle and disrupts the Super League meta. However, Jynx’s true potential only unfolds with both moves. This means you will probably need two Top TMs to make Jynx really useful.

Community Day Moves: With the Top TMs, you can teach any Pokémon from the Community Day the exclusive move. Some of the monsters become significantly stronger and are worth more.

However, you must keep in mind that the TM is extremely rare and you had the massive Community Day the last two Decembers, during which you could teach all exclusive moves again. So you can also simply wait until December to teach the special moves to the Pokémon.

If you already have a developed Pokémon with good IV that you want to teach a Community Day move, then you can use the Top TM.

The best moves from the Community Days will be shown in another article. There you will find out which Pokémon are really worth it with the Community Day moves.

Streamer bans herself for 3 days, Twitch only for 24 hours – After the ‘Oops’ incident

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

Streamer Natalia “Alinity” Mogollon (Apex Legends, Valorant) has been banned from Twitch for 24 hours after showing her bare breast. The ban was demanded by several other streamers. However, she herself wished she had been banned for a longer period.

Here’s why the streamer was banned: During a stream on April 24, Alinity wanted to shove a pillow under her top to simulate a big belly, but she accidentally lifted her bra and top, and her breast was briefly visible.

Showing a bare breast is against the new nudity rules of Twitch.

This shows the incident in a pixelated version.

Streamer believes: It was planned

This was the reaction: Although this action was clearly an accident and not planned, especially other streamers demanded her ban.

Alinity had already drawn attention in the past:

These incidents from 2019 were not punished by Twitch, which is why the spotlight of the Twitch public is now on Alinity and the new incident, wondering if Twitch will slap the ban hammer this time.

Twitch TV Kaceytron Title
The streamer Kaceytron demanded the ban of Alinity.

The LoL streamer Kaceytron said that Twitch must ban Alinity, otherwise there would be an uprising. Because further preferential treatment of Alinity shows only how unfair Twitch is.

Streamer Trainwreck alleged that Alinity does this on purpose. Every 4 months, when her viewer numbers stagnate or even decrease on Twitch, something like this happens to her. He considers this a plan and calculation.

Also, the way Alinity had stuffed a pillow under her top was totally bizarre. He had never seen anything like it. It makes no sense that she lifted her bra during the act.

Streamer bans herself from Twitch for 3 days

This was Alinity’s reaction: The incident of her breast being visible apparently wasn’t really embarrassing for the streamer. She reacted rather aggressively to comments about the slip-up.

She accused people of trying to instill false shame in her because of her body. These people have misconceptions about what bodies really look like because they watch too much porn.

Even before any reaction from Twitch came, Alinity had imposed a “3-day ban” on herself from Twitch. She considered this ban appropriate, she said.

When she was actually banned for 24 hours, she mockingly applauded, “Our hard work has finally paid off,” she said on Twitter.

Later, the streamer explained what supposed “atrocities” she had committed with her animals – that too seemed a bit huffy.

This reaction is presumably passive-aggressive. Alinity mockingly applauds her “critics.”

Alinity feels like a victim of misrepresentation

What’s behind this: Alinity is a kind of figurehead that Twitch applies double standards. Many believe Alinity receives special treatment. She is rarely punished by Twitch and when so, only lightly, while other streamers are regulated much more harshly.

Rumors also circulate that she has a relationship with someone at Twitch or something similar.

Alinity Twitch Title Oopsie2
The streamer had an accident on April 24.

Alinity defends herself against these allegations and considers them absurd rumors, which she denies. She says she has also been temporarily banned several times. If people have a problem with Twitch’s ban policy, they should sort it out with Twitch, not with her.

The role as “Twitch’s darling” seems to be getting on her nerves. She evidently feels misrepresented here and reacts bitterly.
