Players kill prostitutes in GTA Online to clone expensive vehicles

In GTA Online there is a glitch that allows players to double their purchased vehicles. They even kill innocent prostitutes in the game for this. Rockstar had actually fixed this issue, but players find a new way to exploit it.

What kind of glitch is this? With this glitch, players can duplicate their purchased vehicles for free. Normally, one would have to buy a vehicle again for a lot of money.

Cars can be quite expensive, especially if they belong to the fastest cars in GTA Online.

But with this glitch, the cars are copied and end up double in the player’s garage without costing a dollar.

Additionally, these vehicles can be sold again, making a profit on top of that.

Normally, one buys the vehicles for a lot of money

How does the glitch work? We will refrain from a detailed guide here. Essentially, it involves

  • getting a prostitute into the car
  • trapping the car so that the prostitute cannot exit
  • bringing the car you want to duplicate
  • and killing the prostitute.

The glitch is not easy to execute, requiring time and several steps that must be followed. If someone wants to quickly and unfairly obtain money, this car glitch is not suitable.

This is how RockStar Games reacted: The developers quickly fixed this glitch in GTA 5 Online when players first found it.

Rockstar fixed the original method of the glitch on March 5. This was shared by data miner TezFunz2 on Twitter as he wrote about a recent background update to GTA Online:

But players have now found this workaround to continue exploiting the glitch in a modified way.

So Rockstar will probably have to step up again and find another way to get the glitch under control. Similar incidents have occurred:

Is it allowed to use the glitch? We advise against duplicating vehicles in GTA Online with this glitch. This mechanic is not intended by the game and can lead to your account being banned.

There is also a glitch in the casino that supposedly guarantees that you always land on the car prize at the lucky wheel:

WoW: Blizzard “fixes” the least popular battleground in a pretty lazy way

Ashran in World of Warcraft is being revamped. A temporary fix is intended to help, but it makes the “epic battleground” considerably less epic.

A battleground in World of Warcraft has been suffering significant issues since its “reintroduction”. In the epic battleground Ashran, very little is going according to plan. Often, there are difficulties in gameplay flow, leading to frustration among players. Blizzard’s temporary solution is quite simple: The epic battleground will be a little less epic.

What is the problem with Ashran? The epic battleground Ashran was reintroduced with Patch 8.2 Rise of Azshara to fit the current content. Originally, Ashran was a PvP zone in the expansion “Warlords of Draenor”. Since Patch 8.2, players can once again enter Ashran as an “epic battleground”. This is a category of battlegrounds that are particularly large, like Alterac Valley or Isle of Conquest.

However, Ashran has been struggling with many problems since its reintroduction. At the top of the list is poor performance, as there are frequent large lags and stutters that make normal gameplay almost impossible. This is mainly due to the fact that 80 players clash in Ashran, and there is essentially “one large zerg”. This is especially felt at the beginning of the battle.

You shouldn’t expect new content anytime soon – Here’s how to deal with it.

This is how Blizzard plans to fix it: A hotfix has drastically reduced the number of players for Ashran. Instead of 80 players, now only 50 players are battling in Ashran – on both sides, the team size has been reduced from 40 to 25 players.

WOW Ashran Map

Blizzard hopes for better performance in the battleground, which should at least reduce the players’ biggest frustrations. However, this is only a temporary solution, as they plan to “temporarily” reduce the player count.

Do you enjoy playing the Ashran battleground? Or can you not relate to this BG at all?

Destiny 2: Do we already know the secret weapon exotic from Season 10?

Have you always wanted a massive Cabal cannon in Destiny 2 just for yourself? In Season 10, it might finally happen. Read about which weapon has been discovered and why it is likely an Exotic.

This weapon has been discovered: In the official reveal trailer of the Season 10, an interesting discovery was made: A Guardian holds a very striking auto rifle.

We want to delve deeper into why it is assumed to be an unannounced weapon Exotic and why this massive weapon seems familiar to many.

Exotic MG Kabal Season 10 Destiny 2
This is what the weapon looks like in the trailer

Where do we know this auto rifle from? The weapon has a very distinctive look. It has a four-part barrel and quite large rounds, which probably make quite large holes. The auto rifle looks martial, bulky, and its design is reminiscent of the Cabal Exotic Skyburner’s Oath.

Which brings us to the topic: The new auto rifle is another Cabal weapon. This time it is the artillery of the monstrous Cabal Colossus. The most famous bearer of this weapon is likely the strike boss “Valus Ta’aurc”.

This perspective is also shared by Redditor AudaX19_68. He goes into more detail about the similarities and receives much support from the community.

destiny-kabale-valus
Valus Ta’aurc commands the siege dancers from an imperial land tank in front of Rubicon and carries the heavy artillery

This is likely an Exotic: On one side, the special appearance supports that we are dealing with an Exotic. But another reason also validates this assumption – and it comes from an official source.

The auto rifle is only briefly seen in the trailer but is positioned exactly between two confirmed Exotics:

Furthermore, the trailer titles the sequence with the words: “Find every advantage – New exotic quests and weapons”. All these are strong indications that we are dealing with an Exotic.

Some of the MeinMMO readers also see it this way:

Between 4th Horseman and Tommy’s Matchbook, I think that is the third Exo…

For those who want to see the whole thing for themselves, here is the German trailer for the Season of Worthy:

What do you think of the massive weapon – are you looking forward to finally being able to shoot with a colossal Cabal cannon?

My favorite Exotic is another heavy auto rifle for which I get laughed at.

Today, the new Season 10 starts in Destiny, but first an update awaits you.

Pokémon GO brings new raid bosses today with 13 strong PvP attackers

In Pokémon GO there are new raid bosses again. This time they are about the best attackers for the PvP leagues. We show you the complete list and present the highlights.

Why are there new bosses? Niantic wants to draw attention to the start of the PvP league and is hosting two small events beforehand. In the current event, good attackers for the leagues will return in raids.

To help you secure good attackers, we show you the best raid bosses and reveal which ones you should definitely do.

All Raid Bosses for the PvP Event

Where does the information come from? On reddit dedicated trainers have compiled the bosses. Therefore, we now know what awaits us in the raids since 8 AM local time.

Raid LevelRaid Boss
Tier 1 – Pink EggPraktibalk
Alola-Sleima*
Makuhita*
Sheinux*
Klikk*
Schilterus
Tier 2 – Pink EggAustos
Alpollo
Kirlia
Welsar
Tier 3 – Yellow EggPixi
Machomei
Onix*
Keifel
Panzaeron*
Tier 4 – Yellow EggGlurak
Relaxo
Togetic
Nachtara
Sumpex
Tier 5 – Black EggVoltolos
Registeel*
Cresselia*

All Pokémon marked with an asterisk (*) can also be encountered as Shiny.

Which Pokémon are worthwhile for the Super League? The following raid bosses are interesting for the lowest league in PvP:

  • Schilterus
  • Welsar
  • Panzaeron
  • Nachtara
  • Registeel

They are all among the best Pokémon from this league. With Panzaeron and Registeel, you also have two Pokémon that can be Shiny. Raiding is worth it here as well.

Sumpex is also a good Pokémon for the Super League, but it already has more than 1500 CP from raids.

Which Pokémon are worthwhile for the Hyper League? In the league up to 2500 CP, the following raid bosses are particularly worthwhile:

  • Alola-Sleima
  • Pixi
  • Machomei
  • Togetic
  • Relaxo
  • Nachtara
  • Glurak
  • Sumpex
  • Cresselia
  • Registeel

So, you have a lot of choices and can build a really strong battle team just through these raids here. You also have several chances for Shinys.

Registeel

Which Pokémon are worthwhile for the Master League? For the league without CP restrictions, you also have several good monsters here:

  • Machomei
  • Relaxo
  • Togetic
  • Sumpex

This league is often dominated by legendary Pokémon, which is why you won’t find extremely many strong Pokémon here.

Are there other bosses worth considering? If you don’t like playing PvP, you can still rely on Praktibalk this time. Its evolution Meistagrif is one of the best fighting attackers in the game, and raiding it is always worthwhile.

Also good for raids are Pokémon like Machomei, Keifel, and Sumpex. They are among the best Pokémon of their type.

How long will the bosses remain? Until March 12 at 10 PM, this event with the special raid bosses runs. After that, the old bosses around Voltolos are likely to return to the raids.

Dataminers have recently found 2 features that can save you a lot of time:

Everything about the maintenance work at ESO today on PS4 and Xbox One – Huge update awaits

Those playing Zenimax’ MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) on Xbox One or Playstation 4 need to plan some time today for a large download.

What kind of download is this? Basically, it is the complete game. Zenimax is conducting a streamlining process for ESO. After this, the MMORPG should take up less space on the hard drive, load faster, and adjust patch processes.

However, this is not possible with an update, which is why the entire client, with a size of about 64 GB, has to be downloaded again.

ESO-Vampire Lord Greymoore
In the new story of the MMORPG ESO, you will be dealing with vampires.

Maintenance with large download

How long will the maintenance last today? According to ESO’s official forum, server maintenance will last until 5 PM. Afterwards, the update will be available to you. The download on your PS4 and Xbox One will start automatically as soon as the servers are back online after maintenance.

The maintenance applies to both the US and EU megaservers.

How big is the download exactly? A precise size has not yet been determined. On PC, the file was 64.22 GB. It is to be expected that the download for PS4 and Xbox One will have a similar size.

How long will the download take? Depending on the speed of your internet connection, you have to plan for a few hours. It’s not just about the download itself, but also about the new installation of the MMORPG. And this will also take some time, especially if your PS4 or Xbox One still has a standard hard drive instead of a fast SSD.

So is that normal? Yes. The download is mandatory. You won’t get around it. However, ESO should run better afterwards. So if the large download starts for you, you don’t have to be alarmed.

Is there compensation for the effort? Yes. You will receive a free pet, the red fire beetle. It will appear for free in the Crown Store with the peaceful companions after the current maintenance. You need to get it by March 24th.

What else does the download bring? In addition to the new client, the latest update is included. Today also marks the launch of the new DLC Harrowstorm for consoles. This heralds the next big story from The Elder Scrolls Online, “The Black Heart of Skyrim.”

How large is the download? Borderlands 3 will require 75 GB of free hard drive space if you install it via Steam. The preload is worth it for everyone with a slower internet connection.

New multiplayer game based on the German cult RPG "The Dark Eye" coming to Steam

The Dark Eye returns to PC. With DSA: Book of Heroes, a cooperative RPG adventure based on the Pen & Paper cult game will be released on Steam this spring. We take a look at the first trailer.

What is The Dark Eye? DSA, or The Dark Eye, is a Pen & Paper role-playing game developed by Ulrich Kiesow in 1984. Similar to Dungeons & Dragons, you create a hero from various fantasy races and classes and explore the fantasy land of Aventuria together with friends.

A game master, referred to as the “Master”, presents the heroes with challenges. Dice rolls and character statistics determine whether actions such as combat are successful. The Dark Eye still has a large and active fan base today. The rule system has now reached its 5th edition.

There is a novel series based on DSA, along with role-playing adventures and several computer games, some more successful than others:

  • The “Nordland Trilogy” was released from 1992 to 1996, with “Shadows over Riva” being the highlight.
  • The last DSA games were Blackguards (2014) and Blackguards 2 (2015) by Daedalic, strategy RPGs.

Finally DSA on PC again

What is DSA: Book of Heroes? The PC role-playing game immerses you in the world of the Pen & Paper game. You can expect numerous adventures in dungeons or enchanted forests. As in the original, you create a hero from multiple classes and races and set off to explore the game areas from an isometric perspective. This makes DSA: Book of Heroes feel somewhat like Baldur’s Gate.

Here are the features of the RPG: The role-playing game is based on the Pen & Paper rule system of the 5th edition, which has been slightly adapted for Book of Heroes.

  • You choose from 12 professions, such as assassin, mercenary, priest of Rondra, knight, or sorcerer.
  • You can choose from four races: elves, half-elves, dwarves, humans.
  • Character development is based on the well-known Inrah cards from DSA. These are used in the game world for divination and character interpretation.
  • Each character pursues personal goals that you must fulfill.
  • Crafting plays a role and allows you to improve your equipment.
  • You will find plenty of loot during your adventures. You can use the items or sell them.
  • You will visit familiar places from the DSA universe and encounter figures from the history of Aventuria. However, there are also randomly generated dungeons.
  • Combat occurs in real-time.

DSA: Book of Heroes is finally a role-playing game adaptation of the Pen & Paper original for PC, following the strategy RPG Blackguards 2 from 2015.

DSA Book of Heroes Screenshot
DSA: Book of Heroes is a cooperative RPG based on The Dark Eye.

DSA as a cooperative PC adventure

What do the multiplayer features look like? Book of Heroes can be played either solo or cooperatively with friends. If you are playing alone, you can hire NPC assistance at the inn to the Black Boar.

If you want to play with friends, you embark on the journey as a group of four. It is important to assemble a good group. Only then can you overcome the challenges. These are not just combat; you also need to solve puzzles.

In combat, positioning plays a crucial role. Mages should stay in the back, while warriors charge forward. It is important to work together to devise an effective strategy to defeat the enemies.

When does the game come out? The Dark Eye: Book of Heroes will be released this spring through Steam. The developers have not yet announced an exact release date or the price.

  • A second game mode – “Plunder” comes as a game mode alongside Battle Royale. Here it’s about collecting the most money by the end of the round.
  • Gulag respawn – If you go down, it doesn’t mean the end. You can fight your way back into the match with a duel.
  • Cash system – You can collect money in matches to request equipment or receive extra XP.

When does it start? Warzone comes on March 10 and will start in the afternoon, here are the details on preload and download sizes. The action-packed trailer confirms the Battle Royale as a 150-player match and free-to-play, here you can find more info on the gameplay.

WoW Classic: Even 6 months after launch, bots remain a huge problem

Although WoW Classic has evolved in recent months, the criticisms remain the same. Bots disrupt the gaming experience, sometimes massively.

World of Warcraft Classic has now been released for over half a year, and the servers are still well populated – except for an RP realm. However, despite a lot of changes and many “new” content pieces being released in the game, the players’ criticisms remain the same. Especially bots continue to be a major issue in Classic and drive players up the wall every few days.

What is the problem? Bots are present on almost all realms. They are not only farming instances, but have also taken over several locations in the open world. There, they take away the enemies from “real” players and have covered entire areas so heavily that a normal flow of gameplay is hardly imaginable.

Players repeatedly express their frustration about this in the official forum and in the WoW Classic subreddit. The latest post has topped the subreddit again.

Bots ruin the gaming enjoyment

What are the bots farming? The bots have specialized in numerous resources and special items that they automatically gather or collect.

  • A popular farming spot is currently Desolace by the sea in the southwest. Here, there are crab traps that have a small chance of containing a special fishing rod. This can be sold for 15-25 gold (depending on realm).
  • Elsewhere, Black Lotus is being farmed automatically – an important resource for raiders, as it is needed for flasks, the best potions in the game.
  • In Winterquell, a lot is farmed by bots as well, especially cooking resources and materials for various quests.
WoW Classic Gnome Black Lotus title 1140x445
The Black Lotus is in demand

What are the players criticizing? Players have two major criticisms they constantly throw at Blizzard. These are:

  • “Blizzard does nothing”: Many players assume that Blizzard simply does not have the capacity in support staff to punish the bots. When Blizzard reacts, it is only in waves that are often very far apart. Often so far that bot operators have easily made enough money to pay for new accounts.
  • “Reporting doesn’t help”: Although WoW Classic has an integrated function for reporting bots, players do not feel that this function does anything. They often see bots even weeks and months later, although many players have already reported them. The purpose of this function is questioned.

How do you perceive the current climate in WoW Classic? Do the bots bother you a lot and do you report them regularly? Or have you simply gotten used to the bots by now?

CoD MW: Warzone starts with trio mode and 5 vehicles

Shortly after the announcement of Warzone for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Activision has now released new information about the Battle Royale. The features at launch look especially interesting for teams.

How many players can play Warzone? In the Battle Royale mode Warzone, 150 players will play in a round on the huge map “Verdansk”. This increases the usual number of 100 players by half.

At the start of the mode, teams of three will also be able to play, similar to Apex Legends. However, CoD allows crossplay here between PC, PS4, and Xbox One, just like the base game. You can find the trailer for the mode here:

What vehicles are available? To get ahead with the large number of players and the big map, Activision has already introduced five vehicles:

  • ATV – A quad for two players, fast and agile but unprotected, strong off-road
  • Tactical Rover – Four-seater with little protection, somewhat fast and usable off-road
  • SUV – Four-seater, provides more protection, is slower and suitable only for roads
  • Cargo Truck – For the whole squad and equipment, high armor, but slow and completely unsuitable for off-road
  • Helicopter – Four-seater, moderate cover, flies
Call fo Duty Modern Warfare Warzone Quad

When does Warzone launch? A countdown is currently ticking down in the main menu of Modern Warfare and ends at 4:00 PM on March 10th. Then owners of Modern Warfare can start playing.

At 8 PM, the free-to-play version opens for all those who do not want to spend money.

More features of Warzone

What else does Warzone offer? In the post, Activision also revealed that there will be a money system, as a YouTuber had already presented in a previous leak.

You can find cash or take it from opponents to buy weapons, killstreaks, and equipment at machines. For cash, there are also self-revive kits and respawn tokens for friends.

With contracts, you can earn cash, items, or specific abilities like predicting the next ring. A squad can only have one contract active at a time.

Call fo Duty Modern Warfare Warzone Contracts
There is special loot for contracts.

In addition, there is the Gulag, possibly the best feature of the mode. In the Gulag, defeated players end up after their first “death” and can fight each other to re-enter the game.

Is there a progress system? Those who play Warzone can apparently also earn progress for the Battle Pass of Modern Warfare. This applies to all players – free-to-play and buyers.

However, those who play for free will only receive their progress credited once they purchase the game. Until then, their progress will be “stored” and then credited later.

The fact that players are supposed to play in teams of three does not help with a current problem of Warzone – impatience:

Pokémon GO cancels Safari Zone due to Coronavirus – Compensates trainers worldwide

On the last weekend of March, a Safari Zone was supposed to take place in St. Louis in Pokémon GO. Niantic canceled this event as a precaution due to the coronavirus. Instead, there will be a worldwide event where not all players need to gather in one place.

What has Niantic announced? The Safari Zone from March 27 to 29 will be postponed. A date within the next 12 months will be found to make up for the event.

The reason cited by Niantic is the current situation surrounding the coronavirus. The focus, according to official statements, is on the health and safety of the players.

Those who purchased a ticket for the event in St. Louis, America, can return it until March 26 at 7:59 AM. Alternatively, you can keep it since Niantic will host another event as compensation.

In Taiwan, the last Safari Zone took place at the end of February

Worldwide Replacement Event for the Safari Zone

What will take place instead? The Safari Zone will be activated worldwide instead. Ticket holders can then find special Pokémon in their local time zone and surroundings and participate in special field research.

Additionally, new legendary raid opponents have been added to the GO Battle League to give trainers the opportunity to catch Pokémon that would otherwise be exclusive to raid battles.

Which Pokémon does the current Safari Zone bring? The Safari Zone in St. Louis was supposed to include 6 Pokémon. Noteworthy among them are Unown “S”, Teddiursa, and Rowlet:

  • Unowns only get a PokéDex entry, but some want to catch all forms.
  • Teddiursa could appear as Shiny for the first time at this event.
  • Rowlet is actually a regional Pokémon. It would be possible, albeit unlikely, for it to appear worldwide now.

Otherwise, there are still several other events happening worldwide in March. So many that players demand less of them.

What happens to other live events? So far, 4 live events have been announced for 2020, including two more Safari Zones:

  • A Safari Zone in Liverpool (April 17 – April 19)
  • A Safari Zone in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (May 8 – May 10)

These events have not been canceled at this time. However, the developers are keeping an eye on the situation surrounding the virus, and there may be postponements here as well.

CoD MW starts countdown – What time does Battle Royale come?

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, the “secret” tab in the main menu has now received a countdown. We will tell you when it ends – and what it could mean.

When does the countdown end? In the main menu of Modern Warfare, a countdown is ticking down, which started today, on Monday, March 9, at 4 PM German time. It runs for 24 hours – ending precisely on March 10 at 4 PM.

What is it about? With a new official trailer for the Battle Royale mode Warzone, developer Infinity Ward has now confirmed that the mode will be released tomorrow.

cod modern warfare leak warzone

When does the Battle Royale start and how big will the update be? In addition to the countdown, the official Twitter channel of Call of Duty has posted some information. According to these, there are two releases for Warzone:

  • Owners of Modern Warfare can start at 4 PM
    • The download size will be 15-22GB
  • Free2Play players can start at 8 PM
    • The download size will be 80-100GB

Leaks and release of the Battle Royale

This is what happened just before: Today, March 9, announcements and leaks regarding the new mode have increased. Twitch accidentally aired an advertisement for Warzone.

Then, a YouTuber also broke the NDA (“Non Disclosure Agreement”) and posted a complete video with gameplay of Warzone. There he also revealed that the mode will be free-to-play – so standalone, like already in Black Ops 4.

What features will the Battle Royale have? In a blog post, Activision has already revealed that Warzone will launch with a trio mode and vehicles. Some other features were also introduced, such as the Gulag.

When players are defeated for the first time, they do not just die. They land in a Gulag, where they can face other players in a 1vs1 match. If they win, they return to the match.

CoD-Warzone-Captured
Who falls in Warzone gets captured.

Other players can watch and throw stones at those fighting. However, if the player dies a second time, it’s over.

Alternatively, team members can buy an item to revive their fallen colleague.

Until Warzone is released tomorrow, hopefully an annoying bug will be fixed:

Warzone release on March 10

When can you finally play Warzone? The creators of CoD stick to their approach since the launch of Modern Warfare and release the official trailer just before the actual launch:

  • Trailer online on March 9
  • The Call of Duty: Warzone will be released on March 10 on all platforms
    • Start for MW owners: 4 PM with 15 – 22 GB update
    • Free-to-Play launch: 8 PM with 80 – 100 GB download

Already Seasons 1 and 2 were only introduced shortly before their start, causing some uncertainty here in the editorial office about when the seasons would start. However, there is even a countdown in the main menu of Modern Warfare running now.

Similar now with the Battle Royale. There were already some hints on the morning of March 9 for an imminent release, and the tension rose. Twitch released a banner advertisement, which likely went online by mistake, and an “careless” YouTuber, who had already gotten a glimpse of Warzone, showed a gameplay video likely a day early.

What can be seen in the trailer? The one-and-a-half-minute trailer is full of action and confirms a lot that was already known beforehand.

Otherwise, the highly anticipated video shows many crazy scenes and also demonstrates how the CoD-BR wants to be perceived:

  • Bigger
  • Crazier
  • Free-er

As a big, crazy free-to-play competitor for the established battle royales. The battle has begun.

What else can I expect from Warzone? In a blog post, Activision reveals more details about the new Warzone mode. You will likely be able to start as triads at launch, and there are 5 different types of vehicles.

  • 5 vehicles – Smaller and larger cars for driving and a helicopter for flying.
  • Plunder mode – Get money from points on the map or steal it from other players to complete contracts and win with the most cash at the end.
  • Gulag respawn – Fight your way back into the game with a duel.
  • Contracts – On the map, you can find tasks that give you advantages once completed.
  • Buy stations – Here you can exchange in-game cash for powerful items, like killstreaks.
  • Trios – At the launch of Warzone, you can start with two friends – if it actually comes to the launch of the game

What else is happening in CoD MW? Although the battle royale will likely attract the most attention from many players, the traditional multiplayer remains interesting. Currently, there are, for instance, problems with XP collection and you should probably avoid heavy challenges.

Players also recently discussed intensely whether too much realism can harm a shooter like CoD and how the crazy tracer bullets fit into this picture or camper-hating god-mode hackers.

But for many CoD players, the battle royale remains the most important thing right now. Are you checking it out right away tomorrow? The gulag in Warzone brings a really cool new idea to the BR genre:

The Division 2: All 13 Exotics from Year 1 – This is what they can do, here’s how to get them

The Division 2 had 13 different Exotics to offer in its first year – including exotic weapons and armor pieces. Here is an overview of the exotic gear that was released before the “Warlords of New York” expansion – with their revised talents and locations.

What are Exotics? Exotics are unique pieces of gear in The Division 2. Each Exotic has its own name, backstory, and individual attributes.

How many are there so far? Currently, there are 23 Exotics – 13 from Year 1 and 10 new Exotics from Year 2. These arrived on March 3, 2020, with the “Warlords of New York” expansion.

These are the Exotics from Year 1: Here are 11 Exotics, all of which are weapons:

  • Submachine Guns: The Chatterbox
  • LMGs: Pestilence
  • Pistols: Liberty
  • Shotguns: Sweet Dreams, Lullaby
  • Rifles: Ruthless, Merciless, Diamondback
  • Sniper Rifles: Nemesis
  • Assault Rifles: Eagle Bearer, Chameleon

Additionally, there are 2 exotic armor pieces:

  • Holster: Dodge City Gunslinger Holster
  • Gloves: BT Data Gloves

What is different now? In this guide, we show you all the Exotics from Year 1 with their updated talents and locations.

Note that almost all Exotics now have only a single talent, and that the talents sometimes function differently than they originally did. Additionally, the way you acquire most Year 1 Exotics has changed.

All Exotic Weapons from Year 1 of The Division 2

Where can you get these “old” Exotics? Below you will find all 11 weapon Exotics from The Division 2. You no longer need blueprints or parts for them as you did in Year 1.

Except for the two pre-order weapons Lullaby and Merciless, as well as the raid weapon Eagle Bearer (still only available as a random drop in the raid Operation: Dark Hours), all Exotics, including weapons and armor pieces, can drop randomly in invasions and missions on heroic or legendary difficulty.

Pestilence – LMG

the division 2 pestilence

This is what the unique talent in Year 2 can do: The talent is still called Contagion, but it works as follows: Hits apply a debuff to the target and deal 100% weapon damage over 10 seconds. This effect can stack up to 50x.

If an enemy dies with a debuff, all stacks transfer to an enemy within 25 meters.

Kendra’s Liberty – Pistol

This is what the unique talent in Year 2 can do: The talent is called Liberty of Death. Each hit grants you a stack, with a maximum of 30 stacks. Headshots consume all stacks and repair your shield by 3% per consumed stack.

Sweet Dreams – Shotgun

the-division-2-süße-träume

This is what the unique talent in Year 2 can do: The talent is called Sandman and causes you to instantly kill a non-elite enemy with a melee attack. This talent has a cooldown of 15 seconds.

Lullaby – Shotgun

This is what the unique talent in Year 2 can do: The talent of the Lullaby shotgun is identical to Sweet Dreams, but the weapon is part of certain editions or pre-order bundles for The Division 2.

This bundle includes the Lullaby

While the stats are also identical, the two weapons differ in appearance.

Nemesis – Sniper Rifle

the division 2 exotic

This is what the unique talent in Year 2 can do: The talent of the Nemesis is called Electromagnetic Accelerator. Fired shots deal 0-100% additional weapon damage – depending on how long the trigger is held before releasing it.

The Chatterbox – Submachine Gun

division-2-schnatterente

This is what the unique talent in Year 2 can do: The talent is called Incessant Chatter and increases the rate of fire for every enemy within a radius of 15 meters by 20% when reloading.

This effect can stack up to 5x and kills also refill 50% of your magazine.

Ruthless – Rifle

the-division-2-gnadenlos

This is what the unique talent in Year 2 can do: The weapon comes with the talent Binary Trigger. The weapon is equipped with a trigger system that fires when the trigger is pressed and released.

If both bullets hit the same target, you get a stack. At 7 stacks, the next hit causes an explosion with a radius of 7 meters and 900% weapon damage. The stacks are then consumed.

Merciless – Rifle

This is what the unique talent in Year 2 can do: Like with Sweet Dreams and Lullaby, the Merciless rifle is part of an edition or pre-order bundle. It has the same stats and talent as Ruthless, but looks different.

This bundle contains the exotic rifle.

Eagle Bearer – Assault Rifle

This is what the unique talents in Year 2 can do: The Eagle Bearer comes with 2 talents:

  • Eagle’s Strike increases precision by up to +30% as long as you continuously fire the weapon. Additionally, headshot kills trigger the Tenacity buff for 15 seconds. Tenacity is increased by 1% for body shot hits and by 5% for headshot hits.
  • Tenacity causes 40%-80% of incoming damage to be retained until this buff expires. This retained damage is reduced for each enemy you kill while the buff is active. With 3 kills, this retained damage is completely neutralized.

Diamondback – Rifle

division 2 diamantklapperschlange

This is what the unique talent in Year 2 can do: The talent of the Diamondback is called Agonizing Bite. The Diamondback randomly marks an enemy.

When you hit this enemy, the mark is consumed, causing a critical hit with an increased damage of 20%. Afterwards, once you reload, a new random enemy is marked.

Chameleon – Assault Rifle

This is what the unique talent in Year 2 can do: The Chameleon was released shortly before the launch of Title Update 8 (TU8) and the Warlords expansion with Episode 3 and embodies the last Exotic from Year 1.

The talent is called Adaptive Instincts. It includes 3 buffs with different bonuses. Depending on which body parts of the enemies you hit, different effects are triggered:

  • If you land 30 headshots, you receive +20% critical hit chance and +50% critical hit damage for 45 seconds
  • If 60 shots hit the body, this grants a bonus of +100% weapon damage for 45 seconds
  • If you place 30 shots on the legs, there is +150% reload speed for 45 seconds

On the next page, we will discuss the exotic armor pieces from The Division 2. By the way, one of the new armor Exotics can be obtained as a reward through Season 1:

Red Dead Redemption 2: Horse is so loyal that it takes revenge together with a player

A player in Red Dead Redemption 2 is being robbed. However, his horse is so loyal that it avenges him against the thief. This is what it looks like when you reach the ultimate bond with your horse.

What happened to the player? The player was riding as Arthur Morgan on his horse in Red Dead Redemption 2 when he encountered an unknown person who tried to steal his horse.

But fate took its course and his horse helped him to take revenge on the thief in an embarrassing way.

This is high-level revenge

How did the player take revenge? The thief had pulled the player off his horse and was about to ride away. But after a few seconds, the horse threw him off its back.

The player was finally able to get up, ran to the unknown person, and gave him a solid kick.

The thief was immediately killed by the kick. To top it off, the horse “did its business” right on the unknown thief.

This is a real way to take revenge on a villain!

This is the ultimate bond between horse and player

In Red Dead Redemption 2, you can gain a connection with your horse. This can provide you with several advantages, such as:

  • Increased health and stamina
  • More commands available
  • Horses respond faster and from a greater distance to whistles, even in combat
  • The ability to cross deeper waters or ride over more difficult terrain
  • A lower chance of your horse fleeing from a scare, such as when encountering a predator

You need to know this about horses in RDR2:

Pokémon GO: Dataminers discover 2 features that can save you a lot of time

In Pokémon GO there will soon be 2 new features that will save you a lot of time. Trainers rejoice, as these changes have been requested for a long time.

What is it about? Data miners have found hints of 2 new features in the code of Pokémon GO. It involves bulk sending of Pokémon and fast leveling up of your monsters.

If both features come to the game as the data miners suspect, then you can save several minutes each time.

Trainers rejoice – Would greatly improve Pokémon GO

What was found in sending Pokémon? Event Pokémon like Pikachu wearing a hat cannot currently be sent in bulk. They always have to be sent out individually, which can take quite a while. Many trainers were quite annoyed by this during the last event. But that could soon be a thing of the past.

The data miners found the following sentence: “Your selection contains event Pokémon. Are you sure you want to send these?”. You will likely only be asked once soon if you want to send event Pokémon. You will probably still be able to select them like any other monster normally.

Hat Pikachu
Hat Pikachu will likely be easier to send soon

What was found in the power-ups? You can currently only strengthen a Pokémon by half a level at a time. This costs Stardust and candies. Leveling a Pokémon from level 20 (for example, from raids or eggs) to level 40 can take several minutes.

The long leveling process will likely soon be history. Data miners have found the following text passage: “Are you sure you want to perform a power-up X times?”. It seems that you will soon be able to perform several power-ups at the same time. This way, a Pokémon could be brought to maximum level with just one click, provided you have enough Stardust and candies.

Power Up
You could previously only perform one power-up at a time

How reliable is this information? So far, this data comes only from a leak. One should always view this with a certain degree of skepticism. But these finds have often been correct and it is plausible that they will soon be implemented as well.

How do the players react to this? Trainers are happy with these findings. There is hope that it will actually work as easily as the leak suggests, but the mood is positive.

Other players also think that this has been long overdue. As eltito12 says on reddit: “Something that should have been available since the beginning.”

The data miners have also found information for upcoming Community Days:

First player reaches level 1500 in old MMORPG after 13 years

Despite its considerable age, many players still play Tibia. Some of them even invest a lot of time into the MMORPG. The first player has now reached level 1500 – something that most considered impossible.

Who is the player? The player who has reached this milestone is the Polish Tibia fan “Bobeek”. According to several statistic sites for Tibia, such as guildstats.eu, he is quite a distance in first place for the highest levels.

In an interview with the Polish site mmorpg.org.pl, Bobeek revealed that he started playing Tibia at the age of 10. That was 16 or 17 years ago (at the time of the interview in July 2019, he was 26).

By the way, most high-level characters are Polish or Brazilian. The only character close to his 1500 levels is his fiancée, Goraca, with level 1487. Third place follows with level 1451.

Tibia Bobeek Level
Bobeek’s profile on the official Tibia page.

What is special about this? Many players saw the achievement as impossible after the first players reached level 1000 in 2016 (via Tibia Fandom).

However, Bobeek is not done yet. He has now already reached level 1502 and shows no signs of stopping.

“Thousands of hours” Tibia for the record

How long did it take him? Bobeek cannot give an exact number. However, this character has existed for 13 years (March 20, 2007). Mmorpg.org.pl estimates that he must have invested thousands of hours.

He needed three times as much experience for levels 1001-1500 as for levels 1-1000. Especially recently, it has probably become harder, since many areas now provide less experience points.

Tibia Screenshot 2
New areas led to inflationary experience points – that is now over.

He is definitely the first player to have reached this level. However, he will probably not be the last, as Tibia is still being played very actively despite its age.

The fascination with Tibia: The game, released in 1997, continues to attract many players regularly. Tibia was even among the most popular MMORPGs on Twitch in 2019, despite its release in 1997.

Fans remain loyal to the game and even dedicate their free time to improving it – for example, through graphical updates. However, the popularity also brings problems. Many players have polluted the world for a long time.

Tibia Trash Title

Despite its age, Tibia is not the first game to hold the title MMORPG. The term was coined shortly after its release:

Destiny 2: Is Cayde’s killer coming to the Tower soon? Guardians discover possible hints

For a long time, we have been wondering what happened to Cayde’s killer, Prince Uldren, in Destiny 2. New evidence suggests that he is currently among us in the Tower in Season 10. Read why this is suspected and what is still being speculated about.

What do we know about Prince Uldren? The brother of the Awoken Queen has been causing trouble since Destiny 1 and is not particularly friendly towards us Guardians. He was considered missing for a long time after the battle with the Taken King.

In Destiny 2, he then returned to the stage and was primarily responsible for the death of fan-favorite and rogue Cayde-6. Throughout an epic revenge story, our Guardians tracked down Uldren, leading to his execution (who pulled the trigger exactly is not known).

Prince Uldren awakens without memories

Surprisingly, the former villain was resurrected by the Traveler and has since wandered through the world of Destiny without memories. He remains hidden and always conceals his face. After much speculation, it now seems that we know where the Prince will be in Season 10.

Prince Uldren is in the Season of the Worthy in the Tower

Was Uldren sighted in the Tower? Bungie recently presented the official reveal trailer for Season 10. In it, we see that the Cabal are crashing their massive fleet ship into Earth and the Last City.

In one scene, the frightened inhabitants gaze up at the sky, likely because the looming spaceship threat is getting closer. The camera prominently captures a figure with a distinctive helmet. The Guardians assume: Behind the veiled figure is none other than Prince Uldren.

Uldren Helm Trailer Season 10 Destiny
Quite a distinctive helmet, and certainly not in the trailer for no reason

This is why the person is the missing Prince: The residents of the Tower do not wear helmets – with the exception of Lord Shaxx. The fact that Uldren always conceals his face to avoid hostility fits perfectly in this regard.

Additionally, Bungie often hides secrets and hidden details in their trailers that are decoded much later. Placing such a distinctive helmet prominently in the frame seems quite suspicious in this context.

The headgear also cannot be attributed to any of the known Guardian armors, which adds fuel to the speculation. The new armors from the Season Pass look different as well.

Watch the trailer for Season 10 here

What is still being speculated: Two further aspects lead the Guardians to believe that we will soon see the redeemed Prince Uldren again:

  • The Season 10 is titled “Season of the Worthy.” It is speculated that not only our Guardians will prove worthy to Rasputin. Rather, Uldren is expected to prove his worth and succeed Cayde-6. Cayde-6 came into his leadership role in the Vanguard under similar circumstances.
  • In the official description on Bungie’s website, it states: “Guardians of Light must put aside old differences to join forces with unusual allies to save the city from total destruction.” This statement could refer to both Rasputin and Uldren.

What do you think, will we see Cayde’s murderer again soon, and if so, can you forgive him?

A player proudly invests $10,000 in an MMORPG, others see him as “the problem”

In a livestream, the Twitch streamer ohdear displayed his purchase history of pearls in the MMORPG Black Desert on Steam. Purchases worth $10,000 are visible only in February and March 2020. He himself seems not dissatisfied, but there is criticism on reddit.

What happened? During a stream on Twitch, ohdear was prompted by the chat to show his purchase history of pearls, the currency in the Black Desert shop.

He complied with this request, assuming that the viewers could not see the content because it was shown in the Steam overlay. However, he was mistaken, and his purchases were visible to everyone.

Many payments of $100 are visible. Over the last 30 days, he has spent more than $10,000:

In a second clip, ohdear even shows the history back to 2018. The regular expenses are likely far beyond what many people earn in a year. However, he is not ashamed of the expenses. It even seems that he is proud of it.

How well-known is ohdear? The streamer ohdear has previously been one of the small ones on Twitch and probably does not generate larger revenues through the platform. He has had 10-20 viewers so far, showing not only Black Desert but also Hearthstone, The Division 2, and other games.

Only the clip made him “famous”. In recent days, he has now also reached significantly over 100 average viewers (via Sullygnome).

However, his investments in Black Desert have mainly drawn criticism and little enthusiasm.

“He is the reason why games shit on 99% of users”

What do other players criticize? The clip made it into various threads on reddit about Black Desert, but also about MMORPGs in general. In both, there is criticism for the streamer.

Many see him as the problem that more and more games are focusing on the shop. So-called whales invest hundreds or thousands of Euros into a game, often more than the majority of players combined.

What does the criticism look like? The users on reddit react with varying degrees of harshness to what they have seen:

  • Ramsus32 has some clear words: “And this, my friends, is the reason why most games and mobile games shit on 99% of their users. Players like him make the difference.”
  • Peekyu on the other hand does not understand the world anymore: “Are there any reasons why he buys pearls almost every day? Is there a special deal for $100 or something? What the hell is going on here?”
  • The user julliuz even suspects something like a gambling addiction behind it: “He makes it sound like it’s okay; he is so far down in the dopamine rush. No matter how much money one has or earns, healthy people do not do this [..] Honestly, this makes me sick, and I only know that this guy hates himself deep down (like all players).”
  • ScopeLogic, on the other hand, takes the behavior of the streamer personally: “Thanks for ruining my hobby by rewarding [the developers] with microtransactions.”
Pearl shop Black Desert
The pearl shop of Black Desert – 1,000 pearls cost 10 euros

What can you buy in Black Desert for that? The shop in Black Desert is considered relatively expensive. Outfits can often cost over 40 Euros, which is usually more than what other MMORPGs charge for an outfit.

Additionally, Black Desert offers real money bonuses that many consider to be Pay2Win, including:

What do you think about this behavior? How much money have you invested in MMORPGs? And have you ever regretted it?

The best new battle royale idea from CoD Warzone is the Gulag

For Call of Duty: Modern Warfare a new game is supposedly being released tomorrow: the battle royale mode Warzone. As a YouTuber just revealed, the free-to-play game has found a good solution for the respawn problem seen in other games like Fortnite or Apex Legends: the prison Gulag.

This is a problem with battle royale games: The currently popular battle royale games like Fortnite or Apex Legends have a problem: Those who play in a team and die will be bored for the next few minutes. Because they have no way to intervene in the game.

It is possible for team members to revive them, but the dead player is doomed to inactivity during that time. This is not a cool gaming experience if you die early and the match continues for a while.

CoD-Warzone-Captured
Those who fall in Warzone are captured.

How does it work in Warzone? According to a gameplay video that was released too early, dead players in Call of Duty: Warzone have two options to return to the game:

  • one is a respawn system like in other games – squad members must collect money to buy a respawn item
  • on the other hand, there is the Gulag, a prison where fallen players end up
CoD-Warzone-Gulag
Players can see from above who is fighting below in the showers.

Whoever wins a 1vs1 comes back

This is how the Gulag works: The Gulag is a separate area of the map. Players who die for the first time wake up there. Guards put them in their dismal cell. The Gulag is divided into two areas:

  • One is “the shower room”, where two players fight against each other in a 1vs1
  • the spectator stands, where other players can throw stones at the fighters to intervene in the fight and incapacitate one of the fighters when a team member is fighting

According to the YouTuber, there are different versions of the Gulag in CoD: Warzone.

CoD-Warzone-gewonnen
Whoever wins the 1vs1 returns to the match.

Whoever wins the 1vs1 in the Gulag comes back on the map. However, the Gulag only works up to a certain point in the match, then this mechanic is no longer available, says the YouTuber. Once someone escapes the Gulag, they have no chance to use this second chance again in the match.

A round indicator lets the player know when it is their turn.

CoD-Warzone-Zurueck
Players will only have one chance to fight their way back into the match.

This is what makes the Gulag so good: This mechanic solves a central problem of squad fights in battle royale games: the “dead time” that eliminated players spend until they can do something again.

Warzone is supposedly set to start with 150 people and trio teams. The Gulag could be the decisive point in how CoD: Warzone distinguishes itself from other battle royale games.
