The “human Aimbot” shroud revealed his settings for the new shooter Valorant in a video. We show you how one of the world’s best shooter players plays the new hit.
What kind of settings are these? The Mixer streamer Michael “shroud” Grzesiek is often asked about his settings in his streams, with which he plays the new shooter hit Valorant.
shroud is considered a master of virtual weapons. Many want to be as good as he is.
The adjustments of the settings are important because the default settings of the developers often deviate from practical use while playing. This is partly because the standard should appeal to as many players as possible and also be somehow usable for everyone.
Especially in a shooter, it is important to adjust the settings to oneself in order to get the most out of one’s abilities. Because even milliseconds of difference in performance can determine victory or defeat.
Who is shroud? shroud is considered one of the best shooter players in the world and has earned the nickname “human Aimbot” through his outstanding performances in the genre, as he accurately eliminates all kinds of opponents. At times he is so good that he surprises himself. Therefore, it makes sense to orient oneself to his settings.
Why should I set my crosshair this way? In principle, these settings are a matter of personal preference, but they have a decisive advantage: visibility. With shroud’s crosshair settings, you can see faster and more accurately where your crosshair is located.
Particularly the color is crucial. The standard white hardly stands out from many surfaces in Valorant. It is generally advisable to choose a bright color that rarely occurs in the game – like pink or turquoise.
A turquoise crosshair stands out better from the background than a white one – pink works too.
shroud’s mouse settings
This is how shroud sets his mouse
DPI: 450
eDPI: 351
Hertz: 1000
Mouse sensitivity in game: 0.78
Sensitivity multiplier for scope: 1
Mouse sensitivity in Windows: 6
Should I adopt these settings? Shroud’s settings are also a matter of personal preference and vary from player to player. Some prefer slower movements in shooters, while others prefer faster ones.
Most of these settings can be found directly in the options or in the driver of your mouse or in Windows. What is especially important is the eDPI, which results from multiplying DPI and sensitivity.
This product should match if you want to copy shroud’s settings. The two corresponding options can then deviate as long as the result remains identical.
Why should I use this keybinds? Shroud mainly uses the default settings and has some keys, like the ultimate, placed in easier to reach spots. This allows him to bind F for “Use”, which is also the same key in many other shooters. Thus, he can better leverage his muscle memory.
However, the fact that he jumps with mouse wheel down likely has a specific reason. This movement is easier to achieve, and “Bunny Hopping” becomes easier. Bunny Hopping is a special movement method that many experts recommend – and with shroud’s settings, it becomes easier to replicate.

A crazy victory in the Gulag of CoD: Warzone was achieved by this player using a steering wheel. He couldn’t even look left or right.
What happened? Instead of using a mouse and keyboard or a standard PS4/Xbox One controller, this player played CoD Warzone with a steering wheel. Its design is more suited for racing games or simulations.
One would assume that the player would just lose using that. However, he scored a funny victory in the Gulag, which will probably be quite embarrassing for the opponent.
Steering wheel wins in 1v1 – Gulag of Warzone
This is how the match went: The YouTuber Noel Miller steered his character in Warzone with the steering wheel. The problem was that he couldn’t look around, only walk sideways. Aiming with his weapon was impossible since it was always pointed straight ahead.
Right at the beginning of the match, it is clear that he made a great getaway driver. This led to funny scenes as Miller acted like an Uber driver.
Eventually, he gets shot and lands in the Gulag. There, two players compete against each other on a very small map, fighting for survival. The winner gets to rejoin the match.

What do the viewers say? In the comments under the YouTube video, players write:
Imagine someone he killed sees the video and finds out that they were killed by someone using a steering wheel to play. I would never play Warzone again
If you are the guy who got killed in the Gulag by a dude with a steering wheel, please uninstall the game
Even if you don’t own a steering wheel, it’s worth logging into Warzone right now. Because the developers are currently giving away 15€ as in-game reward because they messed it up the first time. If you’re lucky, you might get it twice.

In Destiny 2 the Exotics are among the hottest guns in the game. Our author Philipp Hansen takes a look at the weapons that impress with appearance, not power, in this top list.
By now, there are 150 Exotics in Destiny 2, most of which have unique abilities. But you don’t always have to or want to run around with the absolute meta weapon, the craziest damage dealer in your hand.
This list focuses on appearance, not power. I have selected 9 Exotics that deserve a permanent place in my inventory because of their cool looks.
My Top 9 Exotic Weapons that Look Unbelievably Good
You will quickly notice a trend in my Exotic list and know exactly what a weapon in Destiny needs to appeal to me. A little hint upfront: Slim Scouts or skinny SMGs have no place in my top list. Weapons must look powerful and dangerous, preferably dark-themed and have character.
I will briefly introduce the firearm and explain why I find the appearance so great. Afterwards, I have selected the coolest ornament for each Exotic, which either perfectly complements the weapon or gives it a whole new spin.
1. Thorn
The Thorn
What can the weapon do?The exotic revolver Thorn fires no ordinary bullets, but the thorny projectiles that bear its name. These poison your victims and deal damage over time. If you finish off an opponent with the nasty poison shot, the dark weapon feeds on the corruption and becomes even deadlier.
This is what makes the appearance so great: Thorn is rightly considered one of the most famous weapons in the Destiny universe. In addition to its power, the design is as well thought out as few other Exotics. The edges and spikes that jut out harshly from the revolver give it a menacing look and fit perfectly with the exotic characteristics.
The story behind Thorn is also beautifully underscored by the appearance. Originally, the Exotic was the “good” weapon Rose. But it was then corrupted by dark magic.
The ornament “Heretic’s Robe” was available in Season 8 from Tess
This ornament refines the gun: Once dark Hive Witches corrupted Thorn. The ornament “Heretic’s Robe” takes the Hive curse to the extreme and is reminiscent of the blood-red fortress of shadows through which we fight on the moon. The skin gives the weapon more thorns and has a connection to the story, as it should be.
2. Wings of Vigilance
What can the weapon do? The exotic pulse rifle Wings of Vigilance heals you when allies around you pass away. If you are the last living fighter in your fireteam, the Exo really amps up. You and the rifle receive many useful buffs to turn the tide in your favor.
This is what makes the appearance so great: The weapon is unmistakably inspired by ancient Egypt. Small Anubis elements, mummy wrappings, and Horus wings decorate the rifle. It fits well that all perks seem designed for the Trials of Osiris. The story behind the weapon also refers to the Trials.
The design thus again stands out by the fusion of lore, perks, and appearance. I fell in love with the look of the pulse rifle back in the early days.
With the ornament “Book of the Dead”, the Exotic looks like an ancient Pharaoh’s treasure
This ornament refines the gun: Thanks to the ornament “Book of the Dead”, the Exo looks even more like a treasure archaeologists unearthed from inside a pyramid. The glow of days gone by is still discernible, but everything is dirtier, more mysterious, and darker.
This is what makes the appearance so great: Just look at it, everything about Scarlet screams danger! You have a bayonet, nasty spikes, and the splatters are certainly not red paint. Once again, the appearance underscores the story behind the weapon, because “According to official Vanguard statements, this weapon does not exist.”
As a Guardian, it is unbecoming to use such a “forbidden weapon” and to keep alive through the “cruel remedy”. When I carry Scarlet, I feel like a soldier who has actually lost the war but will resort to any means to get home. And let’s be honest, the forbidden is usually the most fun.
“Silver Ball” turns the revolver into the nightmare of every werewolf
This ornament refines the gun: The ornament “Silver Ball” gives the weapon a completely different twist. Instead of a dirty gun, you are now using the probably most exquisite of all Exotics.
The delicate engraving and playful flourishes are completely at odds with the dark lore and cleverly break with the theme. Immediately, fantasies of hunting werewolves come to mind.
On page 2, you will find stylish power, special, and primary weapons in all shapes and colors.

Players have found a trick in GTA Online that allows even heavy vehicles to fly through the air. That would be a different way to “drive” from point A to point B.
What is this trick? The player Blaze_Razgriz1 shows a way to make his truck fly.
In the clip, you can see him flying his truck through the air as if it were a regular airplane:

He even manages to land on top of the highest building in Los Santos: the Maze Bank Tower.
How is this even possible?
What do you need for this trick? This trick only works with arena vehicles like the Behemoth, Sasquatch, and Imperator, which additionally have 2 upgrades installed. The vehicle must be able to jump like the Ruiner 2000.
Then, this vehicle needs to have a Shunt Boost added. This boost is actually meant for quickly dodging left and right on the road or pushing cars away from you.
You can have these two upgrades installed at the Arena Workshop by your mechanic.
The trick is not so easy to perform
How do you make the vehicles fly? Now that you have an arena vehicle that meets the requirements mentioned above, you can try to get the vehicle into the air.
With these steps, it should work:
Jump with the vehicle into the air
Rotate the entire vehicle onto one side so it “lies” in the air
Activate the Shunt Boost on the underside to push you upwards
You must execute these 3 steps quickly while the vehicle is still in the air. You only have a few seconds for this.
Once you’ve done this, you need to keep the vehicle in the tilted position and activate the boost repeatedly as soon as the yellow bar, visible at the bottom of the mini-map, is filled again.

In this video, a player shows how this trick works. The yellow boost bar is also visible, and you can see when to activate it again to stay in the air longer.
The trick can be difficult to execute. However, if you succeed, you will surely have a lot of fun and experience a whole different aspect of the game.
These are the results: At the time of the evaluation (April 13), 1,451 MeinMMO readers participated and voted. The selection is quite balanced, but there is a tendency:
Druid: 162 (11.16 %)
Paladin: 153 (10.54 %)
Hunter: 137 (9.44 %)
Warrior: 131 (9.03 %)
Shaman: 128 (8.82 %)
Warlock: 120 (8.27 %)
Mage: 120 (8.27 %)
Rogue: 111 (7.65 %)
Demon Hunter: 111 (7.65 %)
Death Knight: 109 (7.51 %)
Priest: 99 (6.82 %)
Monk: 70 (4.82 %)
Note: Deviations in the second decimal place may occur due to rounding.
It is noticeable that most of you prefer Druids. Both this and the Paladin in second place are true hybrids. Over one-fifth of you prefer one of these two classes. A stark contrast to the loser, who can also fill all roles: the Monk.
It is also striking that the Demon Hunter, being the newest class, is more popular than Monks and Death Knights, both of which were released before it. Either the allure of the new is still present, or the class simply seems more successful to you than the previous newcomers.
The advantage of the classes: They can do it all
That’s why Paladins and Druids are so popular: Only a few of you explained why you chose what you like the most. However, both Paladins and Druids show a significant strength: They can do everything.
Druids are true hybrids – just like Paladins.
Each of the required roles in a group (Tank, Healer, DPS) can be filled by both classes. This is achieved through quick specialization and equipment switching.
Druids are leading in this regard, as they can deal damage in both melee and ranged combat – Paladins are pure melees. Furthermore, Druids can excel with significant damage, at least in the current DPS rankings for WoW, where they stand above Paladins.
What about the Hunter? Hunters are generally considered a rather easy class to play in the WoW community. However, this doesn’t change the fact that at least one of their specializations is found among the upper ranks of the DPS lists in almost every content.
Hunters are a good starter class and have the potential to become really strong when mastered. Many players begin their journey in World of Warcraft with a Hunter and then simply stick with it, like MeinMMO reader Julia Knölle on Facebook: “From the start as BM-Hunter, for me the best class and I get along best with it.”
Hunters are regarded in WoW as a particularly beginner-friendly class and many players then stick with it.
The strength of all your popular classes lies quite evidently in their versatility or in the ease of entry they promise. Especially Druids and Paladins allow you to fill different roles without having to learn a new character right away.
Why is the Monk so unpopular then?
What’s surprising is that Monks are the most unpopular class by a significant margin, even though they can also fulfill all roles. This could have several reasons:
Monks are considered harder to play
They are often only found in the lower ranks of DPS lists
Other classes can do what they can do, only a bit better
Monks have unique mechanics in each of their specializations. However, this also leads to many raid groups taking only one Monk, who is supposed to take on that one specific task.
Monks can actually do everything – but probably not well enough.
A good example is the ability “Mystical Touch” from Windwalkers and Brewmasters, which increases the physical damage taken by the target by 5% and thus benefits all melee players in your raid.
It is difficult to quantify how strong a class really is. However, one can somewhat gauge the strength by the performance of the best players. For example, the “M+-Score” on wowprogress.com, which indicates how well players perform in Mythic+ dungeons.
The site shows that among tanks and DPS, neither Druids nor Paladins are particularly popular. Here, Warriors make up the absolute majority. Among DDs, there is rather a tendency towards Mages, Rogues, and Demon Hunters.
Only among healers are both Paladins and Druids the top classes preferred by most players. They are therefore apparently very strong, at least in this area.
From my own experience, I can also say that both classes are often used and favored in PvP and raids in every role. Their diversity is an advantage: Whatever you want to play, with these classes you can quickly find a group.
Which class should I play? Every class has its strengths and weaknesses, and a well-played character is often better (and more fun) than a half-heartedly played “OP class”.
If you still can’t decide, the new, big feature of Shadowlands: The Covenants may help you choose. With these, there will be special covenant abilities that differ depending on the covenant and class. We cannot yet foresee the impact on the classes, but the abilities will definitely bring interesting changes.

Are you often in the Weekend League of FIFA 20? Then you should know these 5 players well – because they are almost infamous in the community.
What kind of players are they? Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar, Mbappé, and many other cards are so strong that they are hardly stoppable. These top players come with high ratings – and when you encounter them, it is clear that it will be a tough match.
However, there are also some players who don’t have such high ratings but can still wreck everything in the Weekend League. These players are particularly often brought in during the closing stages to save a game that seems almost lost – or to snatch the victory that was thought to be secure from you. Because these players are only cool when you have them yourself. On the opposite side, however, they are a real nightmare.
We have looked around in the community and examined some of these players more closely.
Adama Traoré
What makes Adama Traoré so dangerous? Adama Traoré was basically the first player in this series to become infamous in the Weekend League. This is not surprising, because from the beginning, Traoré has been at the top of the list of fastest players in FIFA 20.
Don’t even try to catch him
By now, he has also received some special cards that make him a really dangerous weapon in the Weekend League. The chance to catch Adama Traoré in FIFA 20 is about as high as drawing a TOTY card from a gold pack.
It’s more likely to intercept him just before the box if a defender is already there – chasing after him can be forgotten. But there are players who cause even more fear among FIFA players.
Ryan Kent
What makes Kent so dangerous? Ryan Kent has perhaps the most infamous card in the FIFA community. His Europa League live card could only be obtained for a limited time; it is no longer available. However, back then, perhaps some people failed to see how dangerous Kent is – and didn’t consider that the live card could get better. Now it stands at a total of 84.
Kent is much more dangerous than his overall rating suggests
This 84-rated card not only has one of the best speeds in FUT overall – Kent also has a 99 in agility and 97 in balance. So good luck trying to take the ball from him. Additionally, he has a weak foot with 5 stars – Kent can score from any position. And he does – as shown in this video:

In the community, Kent has earned a reputation for being essentially a death sentence when he is substituted in the 60th minute. On Reddit, there are posts like “Support group for people who didn’t get Kent” – with a lot of participation. So congratulations if you secured him back then – and good luck if he is used against you!
Daniel James
What makes Daniel James so dangerous? Your opponent has substituted Ryan Kent on one wing? Then you should hope that Daniel James is not lurking on the other wing – because then you really have a lot to deal with.
The basic card of James is rather harmless
Daniel James received a 75-rated card as part of the Future Stars promo, which is not particularly dangerous. However, it could be upgraded by completing objectives. And many players – possibly still traumatized by the missed Kent – did that just to be safe. The reward: a speedy, agile option on the wing that is hard to stop even by fast defenders.
The best version of James is hardly stoppable
The final 86-rated card of James has a pace of 98, but is equally strong in dribbling like Kent. The weak foot has one star less but still holds up. With James on the right wing, you have a card similar to Adama Traoré regarding sprints – only that James is also technically a bit less predictable.
In the community, James is very popular because many were able to secure him quite easily through the Future Stars objectives. Accordingly, many players now have him available and can use him against you.
Mislav Oršić
What makes Oršić so dangerous? Oršić is also one of those players that could be obtained through objectives during a promo. However, the Croatian was not easy to get, as he doesn’t have particularly great link opportunities. Nevertheless, some players snagged Oršić and now have the opportunity to substitute him in.
Oršić became extremely dangerous with the upgrade
And as soon as Oršić steps onto the pitch, you face another challenge on the scale of Kent. Because Oršić was one of the Headliners and received an upgrade to an overall rating of 86. Since then, he has been causing chaos in the Weekend League with huge speed ratings and strong numbers in dribbling and shooting.
Due to the links, Oršić is often substituted in and provides the decisive goal in the closing stages. He is therefore basically the definition of a “super-sub” – a player who can turn a game completely around as a joker.
Wissam Ben Yedder
What makes Ben Yedder so dangerous? Ben Yedder has almost become a classic among FIFA players. Even in FIFA 19, he was one of the most dangerous cards – and this year, Ben Yedder has something special.
Ben Yedder often receives special cards
This is also reflected in the numbers. According to the “Players Game Performance” on futbin, Ben Yedder’s inform card is the most played card in FIFA 20 overall, with more than 13 million matches. Ben Yedder also follows in the second place – in the Ones-to-Watch variant with over 11 million matches.
The striker also has a 90-rated shapeshifters card, a POTM card, and various TOTW special cards. In the community, he is infamous for constantly receiving special cards, as can be seen here on Reddit:

At the same time, Ben Yedder also scores the goals in the Weekend League. He has generally good stats for a striker, plus a weak foot with 5 stars and four stars for skill moves. So it is worth getting him into your team.
If you have these players in your team, you can consider yourself lucky in the Weekend League. Because they are likely to significantly help you secure the best rewards of the Weekend League each week.

In the new tactical shooter Valorant there’s a discussion about the anti-cheat protection. The program vgk.sys becomes active as soon as players turn on the PC, they don’t even have to start Valorant.
This is causing discussion: On reddit, a player found out that a “Kernel Anticheat Driver” named vgk.sys starts running as soon as you turn on the computer.
The user says: He thinks it’s okay if an anti-cheat program starts as soon as you launch the game, but that the anti-cheat system starts running before you even play seems a bit unusual to him.
Many PC users are notoriously skeptical when programs run that they have no control over, that data is being collected and shared. It seems mainly to be an issue that Riot Games hasn’t informed anyone that they are doing this. Such things need to be communicated clearly, says the user on reddit.

This is what Riot says: They confirm (via reddit), that the program runs as soon as the system starts. They say:
the system is designed to use minimal resources
the program does nothing when no game is running
there is no information sent to Riot’s servers
They have installed the anti-cheat system to start with the PC boot because cheat systems often activate before an antivirus system kicks in. When an anti-cheat system is active at startup, it makes it harder for cheats to succeed.
Riot emphasizes that they were very careful about the program’s security and had several external security teams review the system.
The program does not collect data about the computer and does not send it back to Riot. At Riot, they consider this kind of protection necessary to ensure a safe, cheat-free game.
This is a hacker who is allowed in Valorant: The agent Cypher.
Riot Games’ decision is understandable for many. Why they did not communicate this and why it is only now being noticed in practice seems to be a valid question.
Many players feel uneasy when programs run on their PC that they were not informed about and over which they have no control – because this is often how malware behaves.

Normally, a level up costs either playtime or 150 CoD Points, equivalent to about €1.50. Therefore, the gift of ten levels corresponds to around €15 in value.
In fact, players were supposed to find it easier to obtain the final rewards of the Season 2 Battle Pass just before the end of the season, but that didn’t work out completely.
Many players who have already reached higher Battle Pass levels reported that they did not receive the gift. This involved players who were at level 91 or higher in the Season 2 Battle Pass. They came away empty-handed.
What is happening now? Activision has now decided to distribute the gift a second time to all the players who have not yet received it. Originally, the level ups were to be transferable to the new Season 3 of Modern Warfare.
Since that apparently did not work for everyone, those who had issues can now redeem the gift again.
How do I get the gift? To secure the ten levels, you just need to log in and navigate to the “Battle Pass” section in the Multiplayer menu or in Warzone. There should be a notification with the gift waiting for you there.

Double gift due to bug – Again with a bug?
Some players are now reporting that they receive the level skips even though they already benefited from them in Season 2. They are receiving the gift a second time and saving even more money (or time).
Other players, on the other hand, state on reddit that despite the bug in Season 2, they did not receive a gift now either. They have come away empty-handed so far.
However, it is true that only owners of the Battle Pass were supposed to benefit from this, as initially stated. Those who did not purchase the Battle Pass for about €10 (1000 CoD Points) should not receive a gift either.
The studio Riot Games has launched a new shooter called Valorant . The free access to the Closed Beta is not available as usual through Beta Keys, but through Twitch Drops. This turns Twitch into a sort of “Wild West,” as experts are now criticizing.
This was Riot Games’ plan: Anyone who wants to gain beta access to Valorant must watch a streamer on Twitch who has “Twitch Drops” enabled. The viewer’s account must be linked with Valorant. After that, it’s a matter of waiting and trusting one’s luck.
There is no real “beta key,” rather accounts are marked via Twitch Drops so that they are unlocked for Valorant. With a bit of luck and a lot of patience, the shooter fun will eventually begin.
Riot Games’ plan was to make Valorant a hit on Twitch and reward streamers who collaborate with them. Because only with them do you get the beta accesses.
Summit1g has over 220,000 viewers with Valorant. All top streamers have “Drops enabled.” (Time of the screen: 13.4.: 11:50 AM)
The plan worked, but it came with 4 problems and side effects that are now being discussed. All of them somehow make Twitch dirtier.
These are the 4 problems of Twitch Drops for Valorant
This is the problem with eBay: Because keys are so sought after, people sell their accounts with beta access on eBay for sometimes absurdly high prices.
Riot responds by banning these purchased accounts. However, due to the high value on eBay, it is attractive for people to create new accounts, enable beta access for them, and then sell those accounts on eBay.
Anyone who is tempted to purchase here must pay for an actually “free access” and might be angry afterwards if they get banned.
Some people want astronomical prices on eBay. The “cheaper” offers are around €40.
This is the problem with view bots: The issue is related to eBay. People create bot accounts to “farm beta access,” which they then sell on eBay.
These view bots disturb the integrity of Twitch but provide streamers with additional advertising revenue. They further intensify the competition for Twitch Drops.
If bots grab many keys, there is less left for “honest players.”
This is the problem with streamers without drops: Streamers who do not have drops enabled simply claim in the title of their Twitch streams “Drops active” to get more viewers.
Apparently, some even ban anyone who addresses this. The case of Dr Disrespect became public – but there are said to be many other cases where streamers behave this way, including German Twitch streamers.
Only when you see this message do you know that Twitch Drops are really active:
Pay attention to the tag “Drops enabled” so you don’t fall for streamers.
This leads to frustration on Twitch when viewers realize that they have watched a stream for hours “for nothing” without a chance to receive a key.
This is the problem with streamers with drops: Even the streamers who offer Twitch Drops do not always act as integer as usual. Because they want to be “maximally long on-air” to benefit from the current boom and rake in as much ad money as possible, as Twitch streamer DrLupo explains.
They benefit from having their streams watched because people want beta access to Valorant.

Therefore, they broadcast replays of old streams, but do not mark them as replays, instead claiming to be live to attract viewers and thus earn more advertising revenue. Because so many view bots are watching, this is particularly lucrative.
So streamers pretend to be live while in reality only old recordings are running.
eSports expert Rod Breslau explains that Riot Games has created a “strange” situation. Now everyone is exploiting the system for broadcasting replays on Twitch.

A money glitch is currently delighting players in GTA Online, as they receive millions of GTA dollars in their accounts. In reality, much less was planned.
What’s going on? Players from the GTA Online community report that they have received as much as 1.5 million dollars gifted from Rockstar Games. And this, despite the fact that only 500,000 dollars were promised. A money glitch is said to ensure that this gift of money is paid out repeatedly.
What is this money glitch?
This is what players say: Rockstar Games gifts every player 500,000 GTA dollars for doing nothing. According to statements from some players, this gift amount is being paid out multiple times to accounts. There is currently no reliable method to reproduce this.
Player Mattelon posted a photo on reddit and commented “The third time this week.” The photo shows the notification in GTA Online that the player has been credited with 500,000 GTA dollars. If he has received this already three times, that totals 1.5 million dollars.

And he’s not the only one who seems to have received such a large amount of money from Rockstar Games. In the comments, users write:
“Logged in this morning and got it for the second time. I gladly accept […]”
“Yes, I got it three times too. It’s probably a glitch, buuuut I’ll gladly take the money any time.”
“Logged in yesterday and got it a second time, is this a bug?”
This is the problem: Other players report that they haven’t received the login bonus even once so far. While some users boast about having received the money gift multiple times, others are still waiting for the promised 500,000 GTA dollars.
This is a huge topic in the GTA 5 community. reddit user itsyaboishah made a meme summarizing the bonus. “A summary of the confusion surrounding the login bonus.”
It is unclear whether Rockstar Games is intentionally distributing more money or if this is a glitch. Since not everyone is affected, players currently assume it is a glitch. Whether the additional money can be kept or if Rockstar will take back the yet unspent funds is also unclear.
Playing GTA Online is really worthwhile for you right now. Whether with a money glitch or not. Even without a glitch, you can currently earn 1.5 million GTA dollars effortlessly with the login bonus and daily objectives.

The new shooter Valorant is currently in a beta phase. You can play on three different maps. Another map has now been shared by a dataminer. Many indications suggest that the leak is accurate.
What kind of map is this? The dataminer named “UlfricTheThird” has published information about a new map with the code name “Ascent” on reddit. This map is said to visually resemble Venice and also contain Italian text and objects.
The dataminer shared the layout of the map, as well as some textures and models present on it.
Since Riot has already incorporated some hints about the new map in trailers and artwork, it is likely that the leak is correct. There have rarely been datamining actions at Riot Games, at least when it comes to League of Legends.
The alleged layout of the new map Ascent. It resembles existing maps like Split.
What to expect on the map
How is the map structured? As with the previous maps, there is a base for attackers and one for defenders. The map is labyrinthine and offers multiple paths to get from one base to another or to the bomb sites.
Notably, there are many corners and additional blocks where you can hide and attack opponents from good cover.
Visually, you will find various objects on the map, including tables, Venetian gondolas, or pizza boxes, as you can see in the second image from the dataminer.
Objects on the new Ascent map in Valorant according to the dataminer.
When will the map be released? When exactly the new map will be available in the game is currently unknown. However, there has been an announcement that Valorant will be released with 4 maps. Currently, the shooter is in beta.
So it is quite possible that Ascent will soon join Haven, Bind, and Split. There are already some early indications from Riot itself.
What supports the leak? Already in an early teaser for Valorant, then still called Project A, one could see a canal and below one of the gondolas. It is quite possible that this is how the new map could look.

Many believe that the new shooter from Riot Games could herald the end of Fortnite, especially since the battle royale is struggling with some issues. However, streamer Turner “Tfue” Tenney sees it differently. He believes that kids will not play Valorant but considers it a game for older men.

The battle day with Marill did not go as planned in Pokémon GO. Players faced major problems participating and collecting rewards. Niantic is planning a replacement event.
What is it about? On Sunday, April 12, an event centered around the small Pokémon Marill took place in Pokémon GO. It started at 11:00 AM. The battle day lasted for three hours and ended at 2:00 PM. During the event time, trainers had greater chances of encountering Marill and the shiny version of this Pokémon.
Server issues and bugs marred the event experience. “Error retrieving battle rewards” and similar problems became widespread. Players expressed their frustrations.
Developer Niantic responds to the issues
What does Niantic say? Niantic’s support account posted two important tweets on April 12. The first one was at the time when the event was in full swing. The developers write (via Twitter):
“Trainers, there is a bug that causes trainers to receive an error message when trying to collect the battle rewards of the battle day with Marill. Restarting your app should fix this issue and allow you to collect the rewards. We apologize for the inconvenience.”
This is what Niantic is planning now: In the evening of April 12, Niantic tweeted the next message, this time about a replacement event:
“Trainers, we are aware of server issues that affected the EMEA region during the battle day with Marill. Please wait for an announcement regarding a compensation event.” The EMEA region refers to Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
In the near future, Niantic plans to announce when a compensation event will start and the details for it. Whether this will start with the same bonuses as the recent Marill battle day remains unclear. Another community day is also likely planned for April.

Why is this important? Some users on Twitter write that they had major problems:
“Finally! Thank you for bringing us a compensation event. For me, the event was completely unplayable for 2 hours and 50 minutes due to the reward glitch. I hope this doesn’t happen again. It was completely unfair for me and the others affected by this event” (via Twitter @HannahsArts)
“Same problems in the USA. Restarted, reinstalled, can’t collect anything [the rewards]. Big problem” (via Twitter @CJSeess)
Now trainers are eagerly waiting for an announcement from Niantic for the replacement event. In the meantime, you can check out the details about the smoke event. This is also reportedly in planning at Niantic and is intended to be ideal for playing from home.

The MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) has a vast game world with a large number of quests. Our author Larissa Then has compiled her 7 favorite missions in a list for you.
I have been playing ESO since the beta. With more or less long breaks in between, I have never completely left the MMORPG. This is mainly due to the vibrant game world. I really enjoy questing. Much more than running through dungeons or trials. Recently, I even discovered my love for role-playing in ESO.
Over the years, many missions have stayed in my memory. If I had to smile or had tears in my eyes during a quest, I love to experience it a second or third time with another character.
What will you find in this list? Here I would like to introduce you to 7 of my favorite quests or quest-lines. The order doesn’t matter. I will also try to keep it as spoiler-free as possible. If you want to see the complete quest progression, you can do so via an attached video.
1. Into the Woods
What kind of quest is this? The quest “Into the Woods” starts in Kalthafen with a chase. I find that quite annoying every time. You need to use a light to follow the shadow runners. That’s fine and all, but I regularly lose them because I have to fight or I am just too stupid.
If you manage that, it goes on to the follow-up quest. And for that, you have to choose one of two paths. Either you help the wood elves or the lamias, who will support you in return.
What do I like about this quest? This mission starts off annoyingly, but it has not left a negative impression on me. The fascinating part is the decision at the end. You listen to the arguments of both sides. And strangely, I generally sympathize with the lamias, who do not seem to me to be the monsters they are portrayed as.

Here in the video, you can see the quest progression and towards the end the decision that awaits you.
2. A Homely Happiness
What kind of quest is this? The mission is called “A Homely Happiness” and is found in Elsweyr. It’s all about the iconic Razum-dar. He is an agent and already known from Summerset as “Queen’s Eye”.
You need to help him find missing persons and defend the vineyards against wild animals. Along the way, you encounter humorous dialogues between Raz, his family, and friends.
What do I like about this quest? The quest itself is not particularly innovative. You need to follow clues and fight monsters. But everything around it makes the story unique. And also really funny.
You travel with an important person, and his entire previous environment is unaware of it. Everyone thinks Raz is a good-for-nothing. Apparently, he has even promised someone a wedding, which now catches up with him – oops.

In this video, you already get an impression of what Raz’s mother thinks of him.
3. The Madness of Two Moons
What kind of quest is this? In “The Madness of Two Moons”, you help the priests of the two moons in Elsweyr avoid madness. You encounter an Alfiq who seems to be responsible for it. You must play along with his game to avert the madness.
Along the way, you have to complete some minor harmless tasks. For example, preventing the priests from stabbing their eyes out with a stinky fork.
What do I like about this quest? The cat’s quips are simply really funny. There is a good portion of dark humor in the dialogues that I really enjoy.
Also, the Alfiq is wonderfully insane. The visions he causes, which guide the priests, lead them to really dumb ideas. Behind the little Alfiq, in the end, is even an old acquaintance.

The new survival MMO Population Zero is moving closer to its release. In a video, players can take a closer look at the exciting combat system of the game.
This is Population Zero: Population Zero is an MMO that places a special focus on story and survival elements. When it was first presented, it resembled No Man’s Sky as an MMO. You are a settler on the planet Kepler – and you must somehow manage to survive there.
Both the local aliens and other player-controlled settlers make this task harder for you. To succeed against them, you need to master the game’s melee system. And this is what it looks like:

This is what the combat system offers: In the video, the developers first show what the fight against the local monsters looks like. Equipped with a melee weapon, you strike at anything that moves. Using the resources gained from fighting, you can craft new equipment afterwards.
In PvP, you face off against other players who have their sights set on your loot. The combat system is intended to challenge the skills of its players. So those who are particularly good at fighting should have an advantage here. However, weak fighters can also look forward to an exciting gameplay element.
Going on the hunt as a monster: If players die too often in combat, a “mutation” occurs, according to the developers. This allows settlers to evolve into the so-called “Void” – super aliens who are faster, stronger, and more agile than the settlers.
The Void no longer fight with weapons, but with their claws. The sole goal of the Void: to eliminate all settlers. Accordingly, it may be worthwhile for players who have become Void to band together against the settlers who pushed them into this fate in the first place. But be careful: Void have only one life – and settlers can also form alliances.
When is Population Zero coming out? The release of Population Zero is currently scheduled for May 5, 2020, on Steam.
If you add it to your wishlist on Steam, you even have the chance to take a free look at the game before the Early Access.

Update from April 12 at 9:09 PM: There are also server issues with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone on Easter Sunday.
There is still no statement from Call of Duty, but players report being kicked from servers during ongoing matches.
Especially annoying: When it’s working again, players apparently end up in a queue.
Update from April 3 at 2:00 PM– What is the current server status? The issue has reportedly been resolved according to Blizzard Support. The servers should be running stable again.
12:30 PM: Since around 12:30 PM, there have been issues again with Battle.net. However, this time specifically with Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare, as players report. The support account of Blizzard has tweeted that issues may arise:
Some players may experience latency issues or connection drops. Investigation ongoing! #BlizzCS
— Blizzard CS EU DE (@BlizzardCSEU_DE) April 3, 2020
The developers are working on the issue. We will keep you updated here.
Original report – What happened? Today, on the evening of April 2, 2020, there have been login issues with Blizzard since around 10:00 PM.
Currently, many players are stuck in queues for Blizzard games or cannot even access the Battle.net client. According to the official Twitter account of Blizzard Support, the developers are already working on the issue:
We are investigating an issue with our authentication servers. Slow or failing login attempts possible. #BlizzCS
— Blizzard CS EU DE (@BlizzardCSEU_DE) April 2, 2020
Apparently, it is a disruption with the authentication servers, which is causing all services to be affected. Even the websites seem to be affected.
How long do players have to wait? The queues are extremely long for some players. Shortly after the report, we had queues of about 216 minutes at MeinMMO.
We at MeinMMO had to cancel our Warzone round for tonight.
However, there are already users on Twitter reporting over 40 hours in the queue:
This is what players say: The first reactions to the server problems are relatively calm. Players are annoyed that they currently cannot log in, but many take it with humor.
They wish Blizzard good luck in solving the problem or jokingly compare their queue positions to determine the “highest bidder.” Some players also ask for events like the April Fools’ joke from Overwatch to be extended, as they currently cannot play.
Only occasionally are there complaints that the WoW raid might suffer or that Blizzard should have anticipated these issues, as many people have to stay at home due to the Corona crisis.

The new Renetti pistol came with Season 3 to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare & Warzone and quickly gained some fans. With its 3-shot burst, it reliably takes out enemies. But with the right setup, it can do even more and allows you to create entirely new loadouts.
With Season 3, the large weapon collection of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare & Warzone received further additions – The DMR SKS and the Renetti pistol. Especially the pistol is now drawing attention, as it is quite powerful and with the right setup, it even ranks among the best weapons in the game.
Season 3 Battle Pass Pistol beats even the best TTK values
What makes the Renetti so strong? The weapon comes with an attachment that makes it unique among pistols – a 3-shot burst. With the “Mk3 Burst Mod,” the weapon fires 3 shots at enemies immediately when the trigger is pulled and can inflict a lot of damage in a short time.
The CoD YouTuber JGOD took a closer look at the pistol and presented the weapon’s stats in his English video.
Damage
0-10m
10-20m
20m+
Body
33
28
23
Chest
42
36
29
Head
72
61
50
These values also apply to the burst shots. In Modern Warfare and Warzone (without plates), you have 100 health. You can achieve kills with 3 chest hits with this pistol at up to 20 meters. Combined with the 3-shot burst, the time-to-kill (TTK) is incredibly low for a pistol. But it gets even better.
What does the OP setup look like? With the right setup, the TTK drops to a ridiculously low value. This makes the pistol a top choice, and it beats many of the weapons that usually excel at close ranges. Even shotguns have to be cautious.
This is how JGOD modifies the Renetti with Burst & Akimbo. Laser for more control, magazine for more rounds, trigger for faster shots.
Barrel: Mk3 Burst Mod
Laser: 5mW Laser
Trigger: Lightweight Trigger
Ammunition: 27 round magazine
Extra: Akimbo
Unlike shotguns, this pistol has the Akimbo perk. You get a second version of this 3-shot monster into your hands and can unleash 6 bullets on enemies instead of 3. Not good for your ammo reserve, but even worse for enemies who get too close. According to JGOD’s measurements, the TTK values are truly incredibly low, even without headshots:
TTK (10m)
100 HP
250 HP
Semi
181
544
Semi Akimbo
91
272
Burst
50
300
Burst Akimbo
25
75
TTK of the different Renetti versions (milliseconds) 100 as the standard health value in multiplayer and 250 with full plates in Warzone
How fast is that in comparison? Those are absolute top values. While you need to place your hits well to achieve these values, even with a few missed shots, you can quickly take out enemies – in Warzone and regular multiplayer.
The MP “Striker 45” can achieve kills in 117ms in multiplayer with the 2-shot modification and is thus one of the fastest killers. This value pales in comparison to the 25ms. The Renetti thus appears overpowered (OP).
From the list of the strongest Warzone weapons, among the automatic weapons, the AUG with the 5.56 conversion kit ranks first with 440ms and cannot compete with the 75ms. Even the R9-0, with its powerful double shot, looks weak. 100ms is how long it takes for a kill with full armor.
How can you benefit further? With these values, the Renetti is asserting itself as a strong secondary weapon and could push some SMGs or shotguns out of the loadouts. This way, you can save the red perk “Overkill” to bring in a second primary weapon.
You can thus create entirely new loadouts since this new pistol performs as well as a strong primary weapon. Sometimes even better. Instead of “Overkill,” you can then take other strong support perks like “Battle Hardened” or “Ghost,” although this perk is currently a little glitchy.
The weapon is available in the Battle Pass at level 15, and you should definitely give it a try. It takes a while to unlock the corresponding attachments, but it could be worth it.

The Elder Scrolls Online was released 6 years ago and has changed drastically since then. Our author Jürgen Horn has been with the game since the beta and accompanied its launch. Read here what he experienced back then and how different the MMORPG was at launch.
I, Jürgen, have been playing ESO since the beta in spring 2014. Back then, to complete my first big job as a game writer because I was part of the team for the first major GameStar special edition for ESO.
Therefore, I also had access to the game when it finally launched on April 4, 2014. But the ESO that is played today was a different game back then. Read here some of the biggest differences between the original ESO and the current game.
Queues, Monkeys, and White Horses
ESO at launch: Back then, ESO was highly anticipated, and a massive number of people wanted to start playing the game. Therefore, there were massive queues at first. Many players could not access the game for hours.
If you finally succeeded, the sight was somewhat disorienting. Because everywhere there were players with white horses and a horde of chattering monkeys ran around. There was a simple reason for that: The monkey was a launch gift for those who played the beta.
When I think of the launch period of ESO, this monkey comes to mind. I still have that creature!
The horse, on the other hand, came from the Special Edition of the game, which many players purchased because that was the only way to access the popular Imperial race.
Also funny: Since all players were on the same megaserver but no one used the language-specific channels, there was a chaotic language mess in the chat.
Issues with Phasing and Missing Elder Scrolls Content
ESO was controversially discussed back then. Because the target audience of Elder Scrolls fans were often hardcore solo role-playing fans. They usually preferred a new Skyrim rather than Elder Scrolls WoW.
The issue with Phasing: Therefore, the developers were always keen to preserve the solo RPG feeling in ESO. A concept that was particularly excessively used back then was the so-called Phasing. This means that a quest runs through different phases and puts players who have completed a certain phase of the quest into their own instance. There you would see, for example, a burning village after bandits have set it on fire.
It was pretty cool when you were alone, but in a group, it was a plague! Because the game only put players into the new instance who were far enough along in the quest.
Therefore, you might suddenly be alone and could not see your peers in the group when you entered the next phase of a quest ahead of them. Playing together was a very tedious affair back then.

How players were unnecessarily divided back then: Another relic from the early days of ESO that hardly anyone misses today was the faction and race restrictions. You could only play the three races assigned to each alliance. The package that allowed you to choose your race freely came later. The faction restriction lasted even longer.
Until the release of “One Tamriel” you could only complete the areas and quests of your alliance. Only at the end of the campaign was it possible to explore the areas of the other alliances. Anyone wanting to explore their very cool quests and stories earlier had to create a twink.
This, in turn, was a nightmare for the classic Elder Scrolls fans since they were used to being able to go anywhere at any time in games like Skyrim.
That’s why it was no fun to help weak players: In an MMORPG, it is useful for weak players to be carried through instances by experienced players, thus obtaining good loot and experience. But in the original ESO, that wasn’t really enjoyable because the veteran gained nothing from their efforts.
The loot was far too weak for them, making it a tedious chore to carry newbies. This way, veterans stuck to themselves and newbies quickly divided into different experience levels, who also barely interacted with each other.
This only improved when One Tamriel introduced scaling enemies and rewards, and you found an appropriate challenge at every level and in every area.
That’s why thieves were unhappy back then: Also problematic for many Elder Scrolls fans was the absence of the Justice System in ESO. This also came into the game later. Until then, you could not steal anything. Items were just lying around and could be looted without consequences.
Anyone who had been looking forward to a career as a master thief – also a popular path in Elder Scrolls games – could simply not do it. The same went for assassinations, which only came later with the Dark Brotherhood DLC.
That’s why ESO eventually became a better game: As seen in the examples above, ESO was a rather conservative MMORPG whose unique elements did not quite work.
But the developers listened to the players and methodically worked on implementing feedback and improvement requests. Therefore, in 2016, two years after the launch, the major update One Tamriel was released. Finally, it became possible to explore Tamriel together with all players and play ESO like the “Online Skyrim” that fans had wished for since launch.

We show you here 5 vehicles from GTA Online that you should definitely own. They are suitable for heists and generally good aids for making money.
What is it about? In GTA Online, you have a wide selection of vehicles to buy from the various dealers. These can be armored, weaponized cars or aircraft. Some are worth buying immediately, while others are less sensible. We show you here the vehicles that we recommend for purchase in GTA Online. We’ll explain what makes the vehicles so good shortly.
This list does not show a priority ranking for places 1 to 5. Decide for yourself based on the descriptions what you want to buy first and what last.
1. Mobile Operations Center – For Upgrading Weapons and Vehicles
What is the MOC? The Mobile Operations Center is a state-of-the-art trailer that is towed behind a truck. You can only buy it if you own a bunker.
The price is regularly 2,790,000 GTA dollars, but can be reduced to 1,225,000 GTA dollars.
The Mobile Operations Center
Why should you own it? On board the MOC, you will find powerful cannons that are valuable in combat against other players or NPCs. Depending on the equipment, you will find in the trailer
a living area with wardrobe
a command center with gun turret
a weapon workshop to upgrade your guns to the “Mk II” level
What is the Insurgent? The Insurgent Pickup Custom is an armored off-road vehicle that is heavily armed. A regular Insurgent Pickup can be converted into a “Custom” version in the Mobile Operations Center, which can be parked in any normal garage.
The price for the custom conversion is 202,500 GTA dollars.
The Insurgent Pickup Custom
Why should you own it? A big advantage is that 9 players can fit in this vehicle. 4 people inside, 1 shooter at the weapon, 2 players on the loading area, and another 2 players hanging on the side of the vehicle.
Due to its armor, it is hard for other players to shoot you in the car. Even the shooter on the roof has extra thick armor, allowing them to survive longer up there.
The downside is that you need a bunker and a Mobile Operations Center to fully upgrade the vehicle.
However, the advantages clearly include the heavy armor and strong armament. In addition to the minigun on the roof, the Pickup Custom also has unlimited proximity mines. The car is also a strong choice as a heist vehicle if you need to take out large numbers of enemies.
Pros
Strong weapons
Good armor
Plenty of space for teammates
Quite fast despite the armor
Cons
Requires Mobile Operations Center and bunker for maximum effectiveness
3. Buzzard Attack Helicopter – A Helicopter as a Versatile Weapon
What is the Buzzard? The Nagasaki Buzzard attack helicopter is a lightweight assault helicopter that can shoot with machine guns or missiles.
While it doesn’t have the strongest weapons on board, it is frequently used due to its speed and various application possibilities.
The price is 1,750,000 GTA dollars.
The Buzzard Attack Helicopter
Why should you own it? The Buzzard can be easily summoned via the CEO menu and spawns near you when you are close to a road. You don’t even have to go to a helicopter landing pad for this.
Up to 4 players can fit in the car. The passenger can control the weapons if desired. The back passengers can shoot with their weapons from the open doors.
Due to its good maneuverability and space for multiple players, the Buzzard is great for VIP missions like bounty hunters. CEO missions like retrieving crates or stealing luxury vehicles are also easier thanks to the Buzzard.
Pros
High speed
Completes missions quickly
High mobility
4 seats for passengers
Cons
Not the strongest weapons on board
4. Oppressor or Oppressor MK2 – Fast Movement Across the Map
What is the Oppressor? The Pegassi Oppressor comes in both the standard (MK 1) and MK-2 versions. As MK1, the bike offers a boost and wings that assist in gliding. The boost can be activated at the push of a button, quickly lifting you into the air with the wings.
The bike is equipped with machine guns or, after tuning, also missiles. The price is 3,524,500 GTA dollars or reduced to 2,650,000 GTA dollars.
The Oppressor MK1
What is the Oppressor MK2? The MK-2 version is not just intended for short gliding but can also stay airborne as a hoverbike. It is a pumped-up MK1 with a turbine, if you will.
The price for the MK2 is 3,890,250 GTA dollars or reduced to 2,925,000 GTA dollars.
The Oppressor MK2
Why should you own it? Owning a version of the Oppressor bikes offers many advantages. With the flying option, you can cross the map of GTA Online incredibly quickly. In treasure hunts like
With the weapons on board, you easily complete VIP missions as a CEO or biker business missions. And you do it really fast too. If you need to get to the other end of the city, the Oppressor is a good choice.
Pros
High mobility
High speed
Strong weapons on board
Important vehicle for missions
Cons
Only 1 seat
High acquisition cost for single-seaters
5. TM-02 Khanjali Tank – Lots of Punch for Multiplayer
What is the TM-02 Khanjali? The TM-02 Khanjali is a futuristic-looking light tank from GTA Online.
As weapon options, it offers
a tank cannon
a railgun
a machine gun
proximity mines
a grenade launcher
With its controls and weapons, the tank is suitable for solo and multiplayer players.
The price is 3,850,000 GTA dollars or reduced to 2,895,000 GTA dollars.
The TM-02 Khanjali
Why should you own it? The TM-02 is considered the best tank in the game and can destroy the APC or Rhino in a direct duel. If you want to buy one, you should act quickly. The tank cannon causes significant damage and even the passenger with their machine gun can inflict a lot of havoc.
With its many weapons and high firepower, the Khanjali is excellent for taking down large groups of enemies.
In FIFA 20, many special cards appear this year through objectives or SBCs. This includes Hulk, who has just received a strong new card. However, it meets with mixed reactions.
This is the card: The Brazilian forward Hulk has just received a new Flashback SBC that you can complete. The reward is an upgraded Hulk card with an overall rating of 88. Additionally, this burly striker has been given a four-star rating on his weak foot.
This is what the new Hulk card looks like
The Hulk SBC is not well received by many fans
This is what the SBC looks like: The SBC through which you can secure Hulk is not so complicated, but also not cheap. You need to submit an 86-rated team including a Brazilian and 75 team chemistry. Current solutions are around 180,000 coins, though this may decline a bit after the weekend.
You can get Hulk with this SBC
This is the problem: Some players criticize the price of the card, just like with Biabiany, but this is not the main issue fans have with this SBC. Rather, fans are annoyed that Hulk has received a special card at all within the Flashback series. For the Halloween event, Hulk already had a special SBC that allowed players to secure the Brazilian’s Scream card.
This is what Hulk’s Scream card looked like
With this repetition, Hulk is not alone. For example, Mesut Özil received a FUT Birthday SBC after his Halloween special card, which could be obtained through tasks. Adama Traore, one of the fastest players in the game, also received Halloween and Headliners cards. Now, some comments about Hulk are as follows:
“Nice. A strong link to the Hulk Scream SBC,” said user GannicusVictor (via Reddit)
“A bit shocked – I thought it would be another RM card,” said user KrustyKroket (via Reddit).
“Why is there no option to make the SBC cheaper for players who redeem Scream-Hulk? If I do this here, it means a very expensive previous SBC becomes worthless,” said user plsuperace (via Reddit).
The current TOTW Moments squads on Wednesday are also not directly performance-related but include players like de Bruyne and Lewandowski, who are already equipped with special cards.
Many players are annoyed that there is not more variety in special cards, but rather certain players keep receiving new top cards. And this is despite the fact that many promos are not dependent on the real performances of the players.

In The Division 2, currently, 3 items are considered essential for damage builds and the developers announced that they will nerf these overperformers. In exchange, we will receive 4 delicious exo reworks and buffs.
The Division 2 shook up its entire gear game with the major “Warlords of New York” expansion. By now, we have been crafting new builds for over a month, and many agents focus on a strong damage build. 3 best-in-slot items are particularly in focus:
“Prayer of the Fox” with damage against exposed targets
“Service Gloves” with armor damage
“The Invisible Man” with health damage
Many agents are likely to be looking for strong variants of these coveted armor pieces. However, the developers have already announced that all 3 will be weakened in one of the upcoming updates. In return, we will, however, receive 4 stronger exos. Check out the details here.
Nerfs due to incorrect value calculations
Why are they being nerfed now? These particularly strong items disrupt build diversity. According to the developers in the “State of the Game” from April 1, they have nothing against best-in-slot items, but these 3 are going a bit overboard.
Bruce Kelly, game designer at Division 2, stated that they worked with the “wrong numbers” for these 3 attributes. While he doesn’t elaborate further, he means that they want to remove these incorrect calculations from the game now.
Additionally, these items belong to brand gear that provides bonuses on specific weapons. So if we want to fully benefit from the values of these pieces, we are forced to play a rifle and an LMG. Indeed, a strong combination, but the developers wanted to avoid this “compulsion”.
Damage against uncovered targets is always a God-roll on “Prayer of the Fox”.
What is meant by these wrong numbers? It is quite possible that the “wrong numbers” refer to the fact that these special talents increase damage “multiplicatively” and not “additively,” like most boosts to weapon or skill damage. Instead of simply being calculated as a percentage increase, these talents amplify the final damage once again by that value.
For example, with a 20% boost, a damage value of 200% would not go up to 220%, meaning added, but rather to 240%, as the final damage value is multiplied by 1.2.
3 BiS items against 4 strong exos in TU9
But there are also good balance news for TU9. We not only get the opportunity to upgrade our old exotics, but 4 exos also receive a really strong buff.
The Division YouTuber “NothingButSkillz” has already taken a closer look at the upcoming buffs in his English video and notes that these 4 exotics could then be a lot of fun:
Sawyers Knee Pads
Imperial Holster
Diamondback
Dodge City Holster
What can the Sawyers Knee Pads do after TU9? Currently, the only exotic knee pads in the game are pure tank items. If we stand behind cover for a few seconds without firing, we gain temporary immunity to damage until we take our next shot. Additionally, we are no longer knocked back by explosions.
The short immunity is nice, but in comparison, it does not provide good performance for what we would have to give up. Additionally, the knee pads only roll with defensive attributes.
With TU9, the exo then boosts the damage. Every second we remain stationary increases the total weapon damage by 3%, up to a maximum of 10 stacks. With the 30% damage buff, the exotic should become interesting for both tank and damage builds. The immunity from explosions is still retained by the item, by the way.
Sawyers Knee Pads will provide a strong damage buff after TU9.
What can the Imperial Holster do after TU9? This holster is already quite strong and receives a little boost with TU9.
This exo is for fans of status effects. In a fight, all enemies within 20 meters receive the status “Burning” without us having to do anything. Nearby enemy groups that you start a fight with or bold bandits who come too close to you spontaneously burst into flames. This effect currently triggers every 40 seconds. With TU9, the cooldown will be reduced to 35 seconds.
Builds that rely on status effects can further benefit from the “Imperial Holster”.
What can the Diamondback do after TU9? This adjustment sounds particularly exciting as it could enable a whole new type of crit builds.
Previously, the weapon marked a random enemy. If we hit the marked target, the Diamondback guarantees us a critical hit on the next shot, which is increased by 20% (multiplicative damage).
Even after TU9, the rifle will still mark enemies. However, hitting an enemy will ensure that we have guaranteed critical hits for the next 5 seconds. With this “critical” capability, crit builds could focus entirely on crit and headshot damage, as one could secure a 100% chance for critical hits for a short duration.
It is still unclear whether the 20% boost will remain.
The exo rifle “Diamondback” is available in expedition missions and also has an exotic appearance.
What can the Dodge City Holster do after TU9? The second exo holster also receives a buff and makes its ability available more often.
The longer we carry our pistol in the holster, the stronger the next shot with the secondary weapon will be. The numbers here are already remarkably strong – the boost can go up to 1000%. However, it takes 50 seconds for the buff to fully charge. In relation to what we have to give up, this boost for the pistol is unfortunately rather weak.
To make the talent more attractive, the buff will fully charge within 30 seconds. Every 0.3 seconds, the damage of the holstered pistol increases by 10%. This way, you can easily fire a strong shot from the sidearm and keep charging enemies at bay.
When will the changes come? These adjustments are planned for TU9, but that is not yet certain. The developers at Division 2 are currently working from home due to the ongoing Corona crisis but want to continue to keep us updated regularly with news and updates. In total, 2 updates are planned for April and TU 8.5 was already punctual. TU9 is expected to arrive at the end of April.
