What’s going on this week? The developers at The Division simply cannot get a grip on some bugs. Therefore, there is again an unscheduled maintenance today with downtime – the 4th one this week.
These times are important today:
Maintenance begins at 4:00 PM German time
That is also the start of the downtime, the servers will go offline
The server downtime is expected to last for one hour
The Division 2 servers should be back online by 5:00 PM and the maintenance will end
Why the renewed maintenance? The patch notes say: The official patch notes are very limited today.
During the maintenance, further fixes for the DPS glitch are being deployed on all platforms. This bug, widely used by many, allows players to easily farm loot under certain circumstances.
What impact does Corona have on the PS5 and Xbox Series X, and will the consoles still arrive in 2020? Sony has now commented on the PlayStation 5..
Where does the information come from? In a conversation with Bloomberg and in an official statement paper (via Sony.net), Sony addressed the Corona crisis and how it is handling the crisis and its impacts.
PS5: What about the release date?
What does Sony say: In conversation with Bloomberg, Sony discusses the current problems related to Corona. Sony stated that it is not surprising that COVID-19 has an impact on Sony’s business.
Bloomberg does not fully relay the conversation with Sony and summarizes it. Sony states:
A spokesperson for Sony said they currently see no impact on the launch of the next-gen console PlayStation 5, which is planned for the end of the year [2020].
What else did Sony say? In its statement paper, Sony also stated: “Although there have been no incidents so far, Sony is monitoring potential risks for delays, both for first-party titles and for titles from partners. This is especially true for Europe and the USA.”
What does this mean for buyers? According to Sony’s statement, the launch of the PlayStation 5 should not be delayed and it should appear on schedule at the end of the year 2020.
Additionally, games for both the PS4 and PS5 should not be affected so far.
However, one should be cautious with this statement, as no one can say for certain how much the impact of Corona may change throughout the year. And Sony is not alone in this: Microsoft has also had good news regarding Corona about the Xbox Series X.
After the event, Mollimorba and Monozyto will still be available and will also hatch from 5-km eggs.
So that you know what you are catching, we will now show you the usefulness of the two monsters.
How strong will Mollimorba, Hypnomorba, and Morbitesse be?
These are the 3 Psychic Pokémon: While you currently encounter Mollimorba more often in the wild, you can evolve Hypnomorba with 25 candies. For another 100 candies, you then get Morbitesse.
These are the stats: We are looking at the stats of Morbitesse here. The other two Pokémon are normal pre-evolutions that are not really strong:
Attack value: 176
Defense value: 205
HP value: 172
Maximum CP: 2419
Will Morbitesse be good? For raids and gym battles, Morbitesse is not really recommended. As a Psychic attacker, there are definitely better alternatives with Mewtwo or Espeon.
In PvP, Morbitesse also does not excel. The moves are decent and somewhat varied, as it learns moves like Charm (fairy) and Rock Slide (rock), but the stats are the decisive point. With its low HP value, it is easily defeated.
How strong will Monozyto, Mitodos, and Zytomega be?
These are the 3 Psychic Pokémon: You can currently encounter Monozyto, just like Mollimorba, more often in the wild. Evolving to Mitodos costs 25 candies and evolving to Zytomega then costs another 100 candies.
These are the stats: Just like with the Mollimorba family, we will only look at the stats of the final evolution Zytomega:
Attack value: 214
Defense value: 148
HP value: 242
Maximum CP: 2927
Will Zytomega be good? Better than Mollimorba, Zytomega is for sure. In raids and gym battles, it also clearly loses to the top attackers. So it is also not useful here.
In PvP, similar to Morbitesse, it has some interesting moves, such as Shadow Ball (ghost) or Hidden Power (can be of any type), but the base stats are not impressive. The low defense value speaks against Zytomega.
Do you need the new Pokémon? For the PokéDex, you definitely need all 6 new monsters. Otherwise, you can leave Mollimorba and Monozyto. They are by no means among the best attackers in the game.
However, during the Psychic event, which has numerous additional bonuses, make sure to collect enough candies for the evolutions because you never know how rare the monsters will be afterward.

Meanwhile, many details about the Xbox Series X, its specs, and the release are known. However, one feature of the Xbox Series X Controller pleases many users.
What is it exactly about? Austin Evans was allowed to exclusively present Microsoft’s Xbox Series X in early March. During this, he also introduced the new Xbox Series X Controller.
What feature is it about? The new controller will probably rely on replaceable batteries. In Evans’ video, it can be briefly seen: At minute 18:30 in the video, the battery compartment on the back of the controller is clearly recognizable for a moment. We have embedded the video (in English) for you here:

Xbox Series X Controller: Batteries or Internal Battery?
Is this technology really outdated? The news site T3.com refers to the possibility that the Xbox Series X Controller should rely on batteries as an “outdated feature.” They list the following reasons:
A USB charging cable is significantly cheaper in the long run than constantly having to buy batteries, and it would also help protect the environment.
High-end devices and most modern smartphones now even rely on wireless charging: You just place the devices in a compatible dock and don’t even need a cable. This is much more contemporary for a modern console like the Xbox Series X.
This is what users say: Most users do not share this opinion. They consider Microsoft’s decision to rely on replaceable batteries to be a good solution. The opinion is discussed on Reddit:
User Hockeyjim07 says: “I will always use AA batteries. Because they give you the option to pop them [into the controller] and swap them out directly when the batteries are dead, providing a much longer lifespan than the PS4. I have no idea how many controllers I have had to throw away because they only lasted 1-2 hours at a time.”
Also Specialed83 believes it is the right decision: “You are not alone. Whatever reasons they had for the internal battery in the Xbox One controller, I only had problems with it after months. Now I bought a pack of rechargeable AAs from Amazon and everything runs smoothly. I prefer AAs because I can simply buy an 8-pack and put them in my controller.”
Nanowerx says: “I have a rechargeable battery that I bought when the Xbox One was released in 2013, and it is still excellent. I don’t understand people who complain when the controller doesn’t have an internal battery.”
A somewhat different opinion is held by CarbonCamaroZL1. He explains: “Don’t get me wrong. But I love the extended 40-hour battery life of my Elite V2 controller and the fact that I don’t have to remove the batteries, but just plug it into the case to charge. But AAs in regular controllers are the best idea. I have a 3-year warranty on my Elite controller if something happens, but you can’t get that on regular controllers or anything similar.”
Xbox Series X: What we know about the new controller
What do we know about the new controller? The new controller that comes with the Xbox Series X is supposed to be very similar to the previous controller of the Xbox One. In addition to the YouTube video, Microsoft has also published an extensive article about the new controller (via new.xbox.com).
This is what the new Xbox controller offers: Ryan Whitaker, Senior Designer at Xbox, explained what the new controller will offer:
Compatibility of the controller with Xbox One consoles
Support for PC, Android, and iOS devices
USB-C port for connecting to the console or a smartphone.
Dynamic Latency Input (DLI): particularly fast connection to the console
HDMI connection to the TV: Here, HDMI Consumer Electronics Control, short CEC, is meant: With the controller, you can control TV devices and screens using CEC.
Share Button: Ability to take and share pictures and videos without a separate menu
In Fortnite: Battle Royale the Deadpool challenges for Week 6 are now active. You need to help Deadpool find his big black marker and then vandalize various Ghost or Shadow posters. We will show you all the locations.

A novel bug in Call of Duty: Warzone can result in losing a victory that you thought was secure. When a player is stuck in the Gulag, gas will take you out and you can do nothing about it.
What kind of nasty bug is this? Since the release of Call of Duty: Warzone a few weeks ago, we have already seen some crazy bugs and glitches, most recently a wrestler truck. But this bug is from another dimension because it can snatch victory from those who truly deserve it.
Unfair Victory by Stalling
How can this happen? Up until a certain point in the match, you land in the Warzone after death in the Gulag. Here you can throw stones at opponents, beat them up, and fight in a 1v1 duel for your life in the battle royale.
Due to a bug, a soldier became stuck in the Gulag. He was not assigned an opponent and waited out the round until the end. Since he remained part of the match in the Gulag and the gas could not harm him there, he secured the victory without having to face the last fighters on the battlefield. “Brittn64” shared his easiest Warzone victory with us on Reddit:

In his video, you can see the last two minutes of the match, in which he only stares at the empty fight area of the Gulag and the Warzone map. Then suddenly he receives the coveted message: “Warzone Victory.” “Brittn64” then added: “When I was sent to the Gulag, there were still 12 teams left. I never got an opponent, and I was not released. I assume that the other team died in the gas.”
How is it supposed to work correctly? Although the Gulag is open for quite some time, the special respawn mechanic shuts down shortly before the end of the match. If you no longer get opponents, the imaginary penal facility is supposed to send you back to the battlefield after some time without a fight, but not this time.
In the Gulag, two prisoners actually fight for victory.
Can I do anything about it? Not even the best weapons in Warzone can help you here. The Gulag is not accessible from the normal playing field, and if a player becomes stuck there, there is no way to take them out.
Will the developers do anything about this? So far, there has been no reaction from the creators at Infinity Ward. But since a guaranteed victory is being denied to the best team, a patch will likely be coming soon.
While smaller bugs or glitches appear from time to time, the impact of this error is disproportionately large. The last glitch that cost teams a guaranteed victory was fixed by the developers in record time.
Transmog Collectors in WoW should perk up their ears. Soon there will be loot raining down from the old Legion dungeons. We will reveal what is changing.
World of Warcraft: Legion was one of the coolest expansions that Azeroth has ever seen. This was not only due to the story and the gameplay but also because of the cool sets available in the various raids and dungeons. The transmog items from Legion are highly sought after and are in high demand among players. However, they are unusually hard to farm – but that is about to change. Legion will receive early “Legacy Loot”.
What is currently the problem? In the dungeons and raids from the old expansion “Legion”, even for characters at level 120, the “Personal Loot” rule still applies. This means that you get only one item or even no items per boss. Although raids like the “Emerald Nightmare” can now easily be tackled solo, it can happen that you only see 1-2 items in the whole raid. This is frustrating and causes dissatisfaction among transmog collectors – because legacy loot was worse than expected in Legion.
What will change? With the next server maintenance, “Legacy Loot” will be implemented for all dungeons and raids in Legion. The loot rules that apply in all other old raids and dungeons will then take effect. Bosses in dungeons and raids will then drop a fixed number of items, but may also drop items that are not suitable for your own class.
As an example, Blizzard cited the boss Nythendra (Emerald Nightmare) on Mythic difficulty. If you kill Nythendra currently, she leaves 0-1 items for a single player. After the change, she will always drop 5 items.
Nythendra will soon have more loot – so it’s worth a visit!
When is the change coming? Starting with the server maintenance on Wednesday, April 1st, bosses in the dungeons and raids of Legion will drop their maximum amount of loot.
What does this mean? Above all, transmog collectors who want to complete their sets from Legion praise this adjustment. It makes the old raids really worthwhile again and a good source for great cosmetic equipment.
Will you also be farming old raids for transmog starting Wednesday? Or are you not interested at all?
After his rework, the champion Wukong in League of Legends (LoL) is now particularly strong. He is also not allowed to be played in tournaments for now.
Why is the monkey so strong? The champion Wukong has been part of Riot’s MOBA League of Legends for several years. He was released in July 2011. After all these years, it was time to properly overhaul the champion.
In patch 10.6, Wukong received some strong changes on March 17. As a solo player on the top lane, the monkey now has a strong win rate of 57.01%. This is currently the highest win rate in the game (via Op.GG). Generally, the change seems to be well received. Wukong is now seen more often in ranked games.
These strong stats come after he already received the first nerfs through a hotfix just 48 hours after his rework.

This is what Riot says: Due to the rework, Wukong is being locked for the next phases of the LEC Spring Split 2020. Presumably, this will also affect the LCS of North America, the LCK of South Korea, and the LPL of China. The LEC was just canceled, now the European league LEC is being held online.
Wukong is being locked “so that teams have enough time” to practice with the champion. Additionally, this aims to mitigate risks for the most important matches of a split.

At Riot Games, this is the rule when champions get a rework.
The fact that teams should have more time to practice raises questions. In the comments, a user asks, “I could understand if you said that there is a higher chance of bugs with reworks. But this practice makes no sense to me. I mean, all teams have the same amount of time. So why shouldn’t the one that adapts quickly be able to show that and benefit from it?”
In response, RiotMAXtheX states that this is also an important point that plays a role. This has been discussed with the teams in the past.
What happens next with Wukong? As DotEsports reports, Wukong is also the target of nerfs in the next patch of LoL. The armor he receives from his passive ability and the damage of his W ability will be reduced.
The space survival MMO Hellion is facing removal from Steam. However, you now have the opportunity to grab it for free before it disappears from Valve’s platform.
What is Hellion? The survival MMO Hellion places you in the role of a colonist arriving at the Hellion colony, only to find that something went wrong with the colonization of the star system. You must try to survive in space on a graveyard of spaceships and space stations, build a refuge, and scavenge the shipwrecks for useful resources. You constantly risk running out of oxygen. You will also encounter other survivors, who may not always be friendly.
The survival MMO Hellion is disappearing from Steam.
The success simply did not materialize
How has the game performed so far? Hellion had 1,923 concurrent players at launch in February 2017 according to Steamcharts. However, it has been steadily declining since then. The peak in the past 30 days was only 40 concurrent players.
What about the reviews? The overall rating of the survival MMO Hellion is 54% on Steam. In the past 30 days, this has dropped to only 35%.
The game is considered quite buggy and lacks depth. It feels unfinished, even after it left Early Access in October 2019. Nevertheless, many enjoy searching for resources in the weightlessness of space, always keeping an eye on their oxygen supply, expanding their station, and fighting against other players. The scenario is unusual and exciting. Essentially, it’s a good survival MMO that lacks polish.
The current negative ratings stem from the developers announcing the game’s discontinuation. It will not be further developed, which has upset fans.

When will the game be removed from Steam? Starting March 30 at 6:00 PM, Hellion will no longer be available on Steam.
Can you still get it before then? Yes, from today at 6:00 PM until March 30 at 6:00 PM, you can still download Hellion for free.
You can download the game for free via Steam starting this evening.
Will it still be playable after removal? The developers plan to keep the servers open. For how long, it has not been specified. Additionally, it will still be possible to play the game offline.
Is it still fun with few players or alone? The player count for Hellion is low, so it can no longer really be considered an MMO. However, that doesn’t matter. The gameplay of wanting to survive alone in space and constantly searching for more air is very exciting even when playing solo.
If a few players do show up, it’s even more enjoyable. However, a large number of players is not necessary to have fun with Hellion.
In Borderlands 3 you can now level up to level 57 with the new update. The earlier you achieve this, the better – we will show you how it works.
Why should you reach level 57 quickly? Of course, leveling is not a priority for everyone. However, if you want to collect gear at the highest possible level, fast leveling is essential.
It’s almost frustrating to find a good weapon like the Ion Cannon now at level 53 and have hardly any use for it at level 57. Then you have to start farming all over again. There are also new weapons and gear in the new DLC – if you want them at the highest level, it’s best to level up first before starting the expansion. By the way: Since the new update, you will no longer receive weapons that are below the max level if you are at level 57.
However, there are places where leveling is very worthwhile. We present two that lead particularly quickly to leveling up.
Scraptrap Prime – The Compactor
What kind of place is this? “The Compactor” is a location you find in the DLC “Moxxi’s Heist of the Handsome Jackpot.” It is essentially a junkyard located beneath the actual casino. The place becomes accessible at a later point in the story in the first DLC. If you have already completed the DLC, you can return there at any time.
The first DLC is great for leveling
How can I level up here? Generally, you can find many Loader Bots in the area that provide a good foundation for leveling. However, it is especially advisable to farm the mini-boss Scraptrap Prime. You will first encounter him during the story – after that, you can challenge him as often as you like.
The catch: In addition to Scraptrap Prime, many smaller Scraptraps spawn, which you can dismantle quite easily. Several players have identified this spot as the perfect leveling location, especially when approaching it on Mayhem 4.
At this level, you can jump four levels between level 53 and 57 within half an hour, as players noted on Reddit – and then get back to farming. Additionally, Scraptrap Prime may drop a Lucky 7 – and it’s worth it!
Ring of Slaughter – Konrad’s Hold
What kind of place is this? If you don’t have the first DLC, you can’t farm Scraptrap Prime. A good alternative is the Rings of Slaughter. There are three of them: The Cistern of Slaughter on Promethea, the Slaughter Shaft on Pandora, and the Slaughter Star 3000 on Nekrotafeyo. You can see where to find all three in this video by AFGuidesHD (via YouTube):

How can I farm here? In the Slaughter Shaft, you will mainly encounter Children of the Vault in large numbers. They come equipped quite well – the Slaughter Shaft is not really easy. Especially if you are playing on Mayhem 4, it gets difficult. But just like with Scraptrap, you will reach max level quickly.
Alternatively, the other two Slaughter Rings are also suitable if you prefer the enemies there. In the Slaughter Star 3000, you will encounter Maliwan enemies who come with many shields and will eventually attack you with bots. The Cistern of Slaughter is inhabited mainly by beasts like Skags and Rakks and primarily requires fire weapons.
The well-known streamer shroud has now presented his personal loadout with which he dominates in Call of Duty: Warzone. Try it out, maybe this class setup suits you in the Battle Royale of Modern Warfare as well.
What’s the deal with the human aimbot? The well-known streamer shroud has enjoyed a reputation as a human aimbot in the community for quite some time. Michael Grzesiek, his real name, is known for his incredibly high skill in shooters, which he has already proven several times in Modern Warfare.
He often achieves simply incredible plays and takes out multiple opponents at once with his almost unbelievable aim, making it sometimes look as if he is using an aimbot.
The interesting thing is: shroud does not use meta weapons for his class build, but rather an often overlooked firearm – the FN Scar 17. Yet he personally raves about it in the highest terms.
The weapons and attachments: As a primary weapon, shroud swears by the assault rifle FN Scar 17 for his loadout as already mentioned. He uses the following attachments:
Muzzle: Silencer (Monolith)
Barrel: no attachment
Underbarrel: no attachment
Ammunition: no attachment
Laser: no attachment
Optic: G.I. Mini Reflex
Grip: No attachment
Stock: FSS Combat Stock
Extra (Perk): Dexterity
Previously, shroud was quite happy with the Scar, but after making some more adjustments to his previous build, he now claims that the Scar has transformed from a not-so-bad weapon into a killing machine.
For example, he decided against the extended barrel, which many players consider an absolute must-have for the Scar. The weapon has enough punch anyway; it doesn’t need a longer barrel for that. That only slows the weapon down and unnecessarily occupies an attachment slot. So he got rid of it.
Instead, he opts for the Monolith Silencer to regain the extra range without the barrel. He gains additional speed while aiming with the Combat Stock.
In addition, he now opts for the Dexterity perk and in the same breath does without the 30-round magazine. This gives him more mobility and allows him to reload faster.
With this setup, he was able to easily hold his own at close and medium range against other players who mainly relied on meta weapons like the M4.
As a secondary weapon, shroud carries the .50 GS pistol in his Warzone loadout, which can be replaced by numerous other alternatives, such as a sniper rifle for longer distances.
The equipment: Here, shroud swears by Semtex and smoke grenades, allowing him to escape annoying pursuers if necessary and to leave them with a nasty surprise in the smoke with Semtex or to flush them out of their positions.
In Pokémon GO, first trainers have captured Shiny Teddiursa. However, the shiny version is not available to everyone. What is behind this?
This is what players are showing now: On reddit, images of Shiny Teddiursa have appeared. They come from players who were supposed to be at the Safari Zone in St. Louis this weekend and had a ticket.
However, it seems that the shiny is not yet globally available. We will tell you when it could arrive.
Why there is Shiny Teddiursa: The Pokémon was one of the highlights for the Safari Zone in St. Louis. The event was supposed to take place this weekend, but it was canceled due to the coronavirus.
All players who had purchased a ticket, however, have special event spawns this weekend. So everything they would have caught in St. Louis is now available to them in their locality, but only for the respective account with a ticket.
Thus, it is that the first players have caught Shiny Teddiursa. So far, there are only reports from those who have caught such players. Other trainers around the world cannot catch Teddiursa as shiny yet.
These Pokémon were announced for the Safari Zone in St. Louis
When could Shiny Teddiursa come worldwide? There are several theories about this. So far, it has always been the case with Safari Zones that the new shiny appears worldwide directly on the same weekend. So it is quite possible that we will encounter Shiny Teddiursa in a few hours as well.
However, the Safari Zone in St. Louis is also expected to get a replacement date. Therefore, it is also possible that we will have to wait until the end of the alternative date for Shiny Teddiursa to appear worldwide.
Be aware that there is currently a danger of infecting yourself and others with the coronavirus. The Federal Center for Health Education recommends staying at home as much as possible, keeping distance from others, and avoiding gatherings. Niantic has taken various measures to ensure that you can also play Pokémon GO from home.

The next game-breaking glitch in The Division 2 is out. This time, the cheaters don’t even have to be in missions anymore; they can simply defeat the same enemy over and over again.
Huh? What glitch is this again? Since the launch of the major expansion “Warlords of New York” at the beginning of March, a DPS glitch has been circulating in the community. The unscheduled maintenance yesterday, on March 26, was supposed to address this issue, but instead a new, even nastier glitch has appeared.
Some players are exploiting the bug to collect a ton of loot by defeating a powerful enemy many times, which drops a nice pile of gear upon each death.
With the loot glitch, you don’t even need to play missions anymore
What are agents achieving with this? The time needed to obtain the desired items is significantly reduced.
Since this glitch can be used on enemies that roam the open world, cheaters can take advantage of loot targeting and specifically collect their desired gear, such as the strongest items for damage builds.
With the glitch, cheaters don’t need to complete control points or missions and still get a ton of good stuff.
How does this work approximately? Currently, it is very easy to revive a strong enemy. They then stand back up with 1 health and can be quickly taken down with a single melee attack.
This can be repeated indefinitely, and each time the elite enemy drops their entire loot again. In short: This allows players to farm a lot of high-quality loot quickly, like from a fully loaded gift table at a children’s birthday party.
Should I try this too? Just like with the DPS glitch, players should be cautious with such actions. While not much is known about bans so far, it is possible that Massive will not tolerate this behavior for long and will start banning player accounts on a large scale. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop.
Are the developers doing something about it? In the “State of the Game” from March 25, the developers confirmed that glitches that undermine the gear game of Division 2 are a top priority.
The new glitch also falls under this category, and despite working from home, the developers will try to remove the game-breaking glitch as quickly as possible.
Currently, you can play the co-op shooter Ghost Recon Breakpoint for free until March 30. With the new Immersive mode included, this event is definitely worth it. After the failed launch, Breakpoint is now a different game.
Why is the shooter considered a flop? After the launch, criticism poured in from players. Not only were there some bugs at the release of Ghost Recon Breakpoint, but players criticized the repetitive content and how Ubisoft’s new action game now plays like a loot shooter. This didn’t suit some fans of the series.

What is now different? Ubisoft released a major update for Ghost Recon Breakpoint on March 24. This brings several changes to the game that significantly revamp the co-op shooter.
With the new Immersive mode, you can adapt the shooter to your playstyle. It’s possible to turn off the entire loot spiral and play Ghost Recon Breakpoint as you know it from the series. Here are some of the key new features:
Disable the loot system: Without the loot spiral, you no longer have to search for the nth version of the same weapon, but choose the gun that best fits your playstyle.
New realism options: You can enable realistic reloading with ammunition loss as well as reduced screen displays. More injuries, stamina issues, and crafting limits are also possible.
Reduces the number of primary weapons in your loadout: You no longer carry every weapon with you, allowing for more tactical play in your team. This requires cooperative action, and each player uses their primary weapon.
New story missions: Among other things, Sam Fisher from Splinter Cell appears.
(…) I love the changes to the new Ghost mode. Yes, I am just beginning to look for lulls and gaps in the long-term test, but the first hours with the “new” Breakpoint feel more like Ghost Recon than all the 40 hours I spent in the original test!
(…) Breakpoint finally finds the right path half a year after its release – and I’m on it.

Why should you play Ghost Recon Breakpoint this weekend? Ubisoft’s co-op shooter is available for free until March 30 (5 PM for the PC version, 11 AM for the console versions) as part of a free weekend. So, you’ll get a sense of the revamped shooter this weekend and see for yourself how it plays with the Immersive mode.
Here you can download the game for PC, PS4, and Xbox One:
Also those who were already there at the release of Ghost Recon Breakpoint can jump back in. Because the Immersive mode really makes the shooter a different game.
Will you give Ubisoft’s co-op shooter another chance?Or perhaps you were waiting to purchase it and are now checking it out during the free weekend? Let us know in the comments.

Particularly worthwhile is the quest “Catch 5 Natu”. There, you could be lucky enough to get a Shiny. Puppance has been found as a Shiny since the event, and the quest increases your chances of finding a shiny specimen.
Which Pokémon are coming out more frequently? Many Psychic Pokémon are appearing more frequently for the event. We give an overview of the most exciting spawns:
Tanhel*
Palimpalim
Traumato*
Owei
Girafarig
Flegmon
Lunastein*
Natu*
Monozyto
Mollimorba
Spoink*
Puppance*
Abra
Particularly interesting are the spawns of Lunastein and Puppance. Lunastein is a quite rare Shiny, and Puppance is being found as a Shiny for the first time. So, take advantage of the opportunity.
Which Shinys are new? Only Puppance can be caught as a Shiny since the event started. There are no other new Shinys.
What raid bosses are there? The list of raid bosses has been significantly reduced. As a level 4 boss, there is only one Pokémon left: Metagross. This is probably due to the coronavirus, as 4-person raids typically require more than one account. To avoid the temptation to do such raids, they have been significantly reduced.
You can find the complete raid boss list here in the graphic:
Raid Level
Raid Boss
Tier 1 – Pink Egg
Abra Flegmon Meditie* Spoink* Puppance*
Tier 2 – Pink Egg
Kokowei Girafarig Kirlia
Tier 3 – Yellow Egg
Psiana Lepumentas Alola Raichu*
Tier 4 – Yellow Egg
Metagross
Tier 5 – Black Egg
Voltolos, Kobalium
How worthwhile is the event? For Shiny collectors, there is quite a lot available. If you want to fill your Pokédex, you should also secure some Monozyto and Mollimorba. For that, you need 125 candies each.
Keep in mind that there is currently a risk of getting infected with the coronavirus. The Federal Center for Health Education recommends staying at home as much as possible, keeping a distance from others, and avoiding gatherings. Niantic has taken various measures so that you can play Pokémon GO from home .

The map of GTA 6 is still a secret from Rockstar Games, but fans have already created their own designs. One is currently being particularly celebrated. This is what the successor of GTA 5 is supposed to look like.
What’s it about? Eagerly, GTA fans are waiting for Rockstar Games to finally announce GTA 6 officially, as that hasn’t happened yet. During the waiting time, wishes and concepts from fans for the new game are already emerging.
A concept of a map was recently shared again on Reddit and is gaining much attention there. Over 100 people are commenting on the graphic in the relatively small subreddit with just under 11,000 members.
Map of GTA 6 with Vice City and Liberty City – how fans wish it
What does the map look like? In the concept, fans can recognize many familiar places that they visited in earlier parts of GTA.
In the northwest “San Fierro”, known from San Andreas
In the northeast “Liberty City”, known from GTA IV and addons
In the center of the map “Las Venturas”, also known from San Andreas
In the southeast “Vice City”, known from the namesake part of the series
In the southwest Los Santos, primarily known from GTA V
In the screenshot, you see the map design. Keep in mind that this is not an official map, but one developed by fans. Specifically by Deviantart user saifbeatsart, who published the graphic back in 2016.
Although the graphic is already a few years old, fans are now bringing it back up on Reddit and discussing it. Right now is a hot phase in the GTA community; this month, a major event is expected such as an announcement of GTA 6 on March 25.
What do players say about the map? The user manman203 shared the map on Reddit and wrote: “If this were the official map, it would be excellent.” He also wishes for the choice between lobbies with few or many players and no annoying flying motorcycles.
Others write:
“This is still the best concept I have ever seen”
“I love it”
“I want this map to be real. But that probably won’t happen. Just imagine, Liberty City, Los Santos, and Vice City – the 3 best cities. That would be so great”
“Great job, buddy”
“If I could just get a quarter of that, I’d be really happy”
However, there is also criticism. Users write that combining all these cities on one map would result in a massive game size, “at least 500 GB or more.”
Also, the general concept isn’t received well everywhere. “I don’t think anyone wants the half of the map to be a copy of the maps from old games.”
What do you think? Would such a map with familiar locations be what you wish for in GTA 6, or would you prefer the focus on just one city like Vice City? Or something completely new?
The greatest danger in Minecraft will soon be significantly less dramatic. With this new mob, you can ride over lava and simply defy the danger.
In Minecraft, there are pretty much exactly two dangers that give players sleepless nights and repeatedly cause unpleasant surprises. One of them is a creeper that appears out of nowhere – even if it is sometimes helpful – and the other is lava flows. But at least the danger of lava will soon be no longer an issue, as a new creature allows you to ride over lava.
Strider in Minecraft – How they help you
What are Striders? Striders are creatures with long legs that spawn in the Nether. They are the only neutral entities in the Nether so far. Striders are capable of walking on lava without taking damage. On land, they are significantly slower.
Where can Striders be found? Striders are creatures that only spawn in the Nether. They appear at a height of 31 or lower and exclusively in lava.
How can you ride Striders? To ride a Strider, the player must equip it with a saddle. However, Striders cannot be directly controlled like horses but rather behave more like pigs with saddles.
In a similar way, Striders can also be controlled. For this, you need a warped fungus stick. This is a fishing rod combined with a warped fungus. Holding this while sitting on the Strider will make the Strider always move towards the warped fungus.
You can also bring the Strider through the Nether portal to the overworld and use it for lava lakes there. But beware: Striders take damage when they come into contact with water. This applies to both water blocks and rain.
Striders are not yet in the game, but they are part of a larger Nether update that also brings along the gold-hungry Piglins. Anyone who wants can see the Striders already in the snapshot version on PC.

In this slot, the most powerful modifications are inserted, such as those from the artifact. Our most powerful builds of Season 10 can only utilize seasonal mods.
Bungie itself commented on this in the Twab (March 27) stating that the armors are “less desirable and not worth adding to your loadout, even though you were very excited about the return of your favorite armor sets from the past.”
The returning classics miss the seasonal mod slot
This is what Bungie is changing: In the same post, Bungie presents the solution to the armor problem. The essential seasonal mod slots will be added retroactively.
The three group sets (faction armors) will receive “Season of Worthy” mod slots. The rest of the armor will receive “Season of Dawn” or “Season of the Undying” mod slots.
“Season of Dawn” mod slots (Season 9) will get these sets:
Irreverent Recovery
Retro-Grade TG2
Heiro Camo
Roadmap AA1
Destruction Complex
Noble Complex
“Season of the Undying” mod slots (Season 8) will get these sets:
Redmoon Phantom
Rescuer Simulation
Thorium Glade
Weaving Web
Spender
Frumios
Noble Size Type 2
Ego Claw IV
Wandering Knight
Kerak Type 2
Philomath
Note that since Season 10, seasonal mod slots can accommodate mods from 3 seasons. The season from which the armor originates, mods from the previous one, and also mods from the following season. This means that armors from the Season of Worthy can use mods from Season 10, Season 9, and Season 11.
Fix for armors and issues in the Trials is coming
When will the change come? The changes to the armors are planned for April. Bungie has not yet specified a precise date for the update, but we will keep you informed here on MeinMMO.
Since Season 10, the popular faction armor is back
These changes will come next week: An update (Hotfix 2.8.0.2) is scheduled to be released on March 31 during the reset and will address several issues. In addition to the loot bug in the Trials of Osiris, the following issues will also be fixed:
A problem was fixed where season pass upgrades were only unlocked for one character; they are now properly unlocked for the entire account.
A problem was fixed where the first weekly clearing of a Legendary “Lost Sector” did not grant a powerful reward.
Call of Duty: Warzone and CoD: Modern Warfare have received the new update 1.18 today on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. We show what new content you can expect now and take a look at the patch notes.
What is the new update about? Since early this morning, shortly after 7:00 AM German time, a new patch is available for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and its in-house Battle Royale Call of Duty: Warzone on all platforms – Update 1.18.
This update was initially scheduled to be released earlier this week on March 24, but was postponed by the developers. Now it is finally here.
The new update is about 11.4 GB in size on PS4. But what’s really inside?
CoD Modern Warfare and Warzone Update 1.18 – The Patch Notes
These are the new contents: From a new Operator to limited-time playlists to completely new modes – there is quite a bit included.
The Coalition now has a new Operator – Talon
The map Khandor Hideout – the last new map announced so far in the Season 2 for MW. This can now be played as a 24/7 playlist in the regular multiplayer of CoD: Modern Warfare.
New Night Vision Infected multiplayer mode. The popular Infected format is played in the dark. Survivors have thermal vision and a limited night vision battery, infected can see in the dark. Additionally, realism rules are active there.
New mode Plunder: Blood Money – There are guaranteed cash drops after every kill. Extra cash can be gained through contracts and finishing moves. So you can leave the field much faster as a winner than in the standard playlist.
Changes that have been made: Here we list some of the most important changes that have come to the game with update 1.18:
In Warzone, you can now find 4 new weapons: the 725 shotgun, MK2 carbine, EBR-14 marksman rifle, and the .50GS pistol. You can now find these firearms distributed throughout Verdansk and in supply boxes.
The price for loadout drops in Warzone has been increased. Instead of the previous $6,000, it now costs $8,500. This means you will need to sweat more to call in and use your personal loadouts. By the way, you can try this loadout directly: CoD Warzone: Loadout of the “human aimbot” shroud – This is his recommendation
If you shoot a player in Warzone incapacitated (crawling on their knees) and they leave the match, this will now count as an elimination. Additionally, players will drop their loot immediately after disconnecting and will not simply vanish into thin air.
The maximum flight time of crossbow bolts has been increased from 3 to 6 seconds, allowing for shots at greater distances with the crossbow.
In addition, there have been numerous bug fixes and stability improvements for nearly all areas of the game, from the campaign, through the battle royale “Warzone”, to regular multiplayer and the co-op mode SpecOps.
Here you can find the complete patch notes for update 1.18: Since the list of all changes is enormous due to the many fixes, you can check all changes in the official patch notes for the CoD Modern Warfare/Warzone update 1.18 if desired.
However, these are unfortunately only available in English. Here you can find them:
The popular tactical shooter Rainbow Six: Siege has received a new Battle Pass. In this, there are brand new skins that buyers (and non-buyers) can unlock. However, they are not well received at the moment…
What is the problem? Since Rainbow Six: Siege received a new Battle Pass on March 25, players with this pass can unlock new skins and other contents by completing tasks and leveling up.
The skins
, however, do not meet the expectation that Ubisoft had previously raised. Fans are angry and expect an apology, partly because they believe that much more work went into a previously available skin via Twitch Prime.
New Skins in the Battle Pass
What is the Battle Pass? With the new “Around the World: Battle Pass,” players can unlock various items over a total of 35 tiers from March 25 to April 22, 2020.
The Battle Pass is
divided into two paths: free and paid. Those who want to buy the pass pay 1200 credits (approximately €9.99) or 860 credits if they own the annual pass.
What skins are there? Skins in Siege roughly fall into three categories:
Helmets
“Outfit” (Chest Armor and Pants)
Weapons
In the free track,
there are a total of three skin packs with random skins, as well as three special Battle Pass skins for the operators. The paid Battle Pass has significantly more. Just for purchasing, there is a complete outfit for the operator Castle.
This is the problem with the skins: For the additional skins, Ubisoft uploaded a teaser image in advance. This was supposed to roughly show what skins players could expect. However, a comparison on reddit shows that the skins in the game itself are not nearly as impressive as the concept art was. Fans are even calling for an apology:

In another another reddit thread with over 20,000 upvotes, players complain that far too little effort went into the skins. Instead of an often-requested outfit, there is just a new color for existing outfits.
What is this skin? Just shortly before the release of the Battle Pass, on March 24, Ubisoft introduced a pizza skin for the operator Mozzie. This can be obtained for free by any Twitch Prime user when linking their accounts.
However, players find that it does not fit into the game at all (via GameStar). There was already significant criticism for this.
Here’s why players are now angry: Players are dissatisfied because they believe that even in this Mozzie skin, more work went into it. At least that is claimed by reddit user tallguyfilms in a comment rated with over 2,600 upvotes.
That such a skin seems to have cost more work and is still offered to many for almost free, while the new skins must be paid for with the Battle Pass, clearly does not sit well with players.
They see the new skins as only “recolors” of old skins, that is, the same skin that has already existed, with a new color.
