A player has found a particularly nasty camping spot in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. From there, he could eliminate the entire enemy team.
This is the situation: On reddit, a player introduced his new camping spot. This is particularly effective in the “Search and Destroy” mode, as the camper stands virtually unseen right next to the bomb and can rack up kills without end.
On reddit, he is celebrated for this action, and many players thank him for warning them about this nasty spot.
Camper spot promises numerous kills
This is the video: In the clip, the user details the access to the camper spot. There, he stands on a lamp above the heads of the enemies trying to defuse the bomb.
The camper can easily eliminate his opponents, as they simply do not see the camper. In the clip, he takes out the whole team trying to defuse the bomb.
Here is the camper spot: To warn you of potential campers, we show you the spot where you can camp so well. You need to go to the map “Grazna Raid”. When you play “Search and Destroy” there, you will find the spot that needs to be destroyed in a building.
Right next to the position is a lamp mounted on the wall. You can jump on it and stand above the heads of the others. If you have a deployable cover and crouch, you can completely hide behind it, making it hard for the enemy to spot you. From there, you can shoot down or, to be even quieter, only use throwing knives.
That’s why we are showing you the clip: We want to warn you about this nasty spot. So if you have to defuse a bomb there, check this corner first. The next enemy could already be sitting there and attacking you.
The best way to eliminate them is to use C4 or a grenade. The enemy’s shield protects him from shots.
Does the spot work in other modes as well? In all other multiplayer modes this camper spot may not be as effective. After all, enemies do not necessarily have to be around to defuse bombs. Nevertheless, it doesn’t hurt to check this nasty corner.
A particularly nasty setup has recently caused a stir:
The MMORPG MU Legend was recently the victim of a hacker attack. To contain the damage, the game had to be rolled back three weeks. As a result, the mood in the community is quite bad.
What triggered the rollback? The developers of the MMORPG MU Legend announced that there was a hacker attack in the game. The team did not want to go into details, but the attack is said to have affected the in-game economy. Therefore, a rollback was necessary to restore the status before the attack.
Three weeks lost …
When was the game rolled back? MU Legend had to be rolled back to the state of November 26, 2019. This means that there was a rollback of three weeks.
What have the players lost? Basically, everything that has happened in the last three weeks is lost. This includes among others:
All trading between players
Character progress has been reset
All acquired Redzen have been reset to the state of November 26
Spent Redzen will be refunded
Purchased items are gone
All characters created during this time have been deleted
The game is now at the state of November 26, as are your characters and your overall progress.
Is there any compensation? Webzen has not commented on this yet. However, it could be that the many complaints from players will bring some compensation – but this is not certain.

How are the players reacting? The mood in the community is not very good. A rollback of three weeks is quite a long time. In recent days, some players have achieved a lot in MU Legend. Also, the fact that all newly created characters are gone is very frustrating.
SebaKaos writes on Steam: “I started with MU Legend ten days ago. Now it’s ‘Goodbye’. It’s being uninstalled.”
DamnedPriest69 says: “I started playing after November 26 and have 62 hours of playtime. What are you thinking not compensating the players for this time? I expect a refund of my Redzen!”
Not everyone is angry. After all, it was necessary to intervene to restore the economy to normal. Týr, for instance, thinks it’s a good thing: “Yes! Thank you!”
What do you think? A rollback of three weeks is tough. Should there be compensation?
In Pokémon GO you can now encounter Shiny Kaumalat. Some players are unexpectedly catching the rare Pokémon in its shiny form and Niantic has confirmed the Shiny.
This is how Shiny Kaumalat entered the game: On reddit and Twitter, there were suddenly reports from some players that they had caught or hatched Shiny Kaumalat. Niantic responded promptly and shared such a post on Twitter, confirming the new Shiny.
Shiny Gimble (Kaumalat) in Pokémon GO – What you need to know
Why is the Shiny suddenly available now? The reason for this is probably the new eggs that are now available in Pokémon GO. Niantic has announced a lot of rotation, and one of the new features is likely Shiny Kaumalat.
Whether Kaumalat will also hatch more frequently from eggs is unknown.
Are there any updates on the probability? You can only rely on initial reports here. However, it seems that Kaumalat appears more frequently than other Shinys. There are currently not enough data for an accurate calculation.
Normally, only Pokémon that have not been available as Shiny in the game before get a Community Day. The only exception was Pikachu on the very first Community Day.
The chances are therefore not good that Kaumalat will get its own Community Day. However, Niantic could also bypass its rules and hold such an event anyway. This would significantly decrease the value of the current Shiny Kaumalat, as nearly everyone would get it on Community Day.
From December 17th, you can also battle Viridium. We will show you the best counters:
All of a sudden, World of Warcraft annoys a raid that has been running for over 6 months again. Is Blizzard giving a little Christmas gift here?
Actually, the raid “Eternal Palace” has been live for almost half a year, so one might think that the raid is balanced. However, Blizzard sees it differently now and is implementing a small hotfix that alters the (currently) latest raid of World of Warcraft. Three bosses are being simplified, making them easier to handle in mythic difficulty going forward.
What will be changed? Overall, there are changes to these three bosses, which will be weakened in the future.
Orgozoa
Orgozoa now has fewer hit points on mythic difficulty.
The hit points of the adds in the fight against Orgozoa have been reduced by 5% on mythic difficulty.
The Queen’s Court
The hit points of Silivaz and Pashmar have been reduced by 5% on mythic difficulty.
Queen Azshara
The charging of the Ancient Protection or draining of Azshara’s rune now only reduces the player’s maximum hit points by 8% per stack (previously 10%) across all difficulties.
The above-mentioned changes go live with the weekly restart of the realms (meaning overnight from Tuesday to Wednesday).
What are the consequences of the nerfs? Essentially, the nerfs make all the aforementioned boss fights easier and faster to complete. In the case of Queen Azshara, players can now take more stacks per character before they reach the critical level of their hit points. This makes the fight a bit more forgiving. It doesn’t mean instant doom if a player accidentally collects 7 stacks instead of 5.
Why is this nerf coming now? Blizzard has not provided a specific reason. However, these adjustments could be seen as a small “gift” for the holidays – for all players still working on achievements. After the Christmas season in January, patch 8.3 Visions of N’Zoth will be released soon. Then the next raid “Ny’alotha” will come, and thus, some achievements in the Eternal Palace will no longer be obtainable. The nerf is basically a “last boost” so that some guilds can still achieve the mythic kill.
Will you try again to defeat Azshara on mythic difficulty before patch 8.3 arrives? Or does it leave you cold?

This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
Our editor Leya Jankowski described months ago in a column why New World could excite her – if it weren’t for this forced PvP. Now, a year later, the new MMO fulfills this wish – What happened?
It has been about a year since I stumbled upon pictures of mystical creatures from the game on the official Twitter of New World. These creatures captivated me so much that I wished to explore the world and discover them.
Back then, New World was supposed to focus on PvP and huge mass battles against other players.
I was quite astonished. It all sounded to me as if someone at Amazon Game Studios had received a translation of my old article from back then and adjusted the game precisely to my wishes.
Because these were exactly the points I mentioned in the column! I wished for more PvE content and that forced PvP wouldn’t be in the game. I also wished to explore the world, which hopefully will be enticing with the planned PvE content.
It is of course nonsense to say it was because of my column.
For a brief moment, it just felt that way … and one can still dream a little. The chosen title of this column can be understood with a big wink.
This is one of the images that captivated me so much.
In reality, the situation is different.
In our interview, Scot Lane explained that many players, like me, were not interested in forced PvP:
We learned in our early alpha tests that many MMO players wanted more content on one hand and on the other hand, they did not enjoy the “open-world gang fest.” As a result, they lost fun in New World.
So what we did was to incorporate more direct content. We added quests, objectives, missions, and community goals. We are now more of an open-world MMO instead of a sandbox as it was before.
The number of players who were annoyed by the “hardcore direction” must have been large enough for Amazon to adjust things again.
That’s why I’m looking forward to the “new” New World
When I played New World behind closed doors at gamescom in 2018 for half an hour, everything reminded me of a huge adventure playground. There was nothing mystical to see at the time. But exploring the world was already fun back then.
I can already say from my experience that New World will be a graphically appealing game. Provided that the test version back then wasn’t overly polished. But also first testers of the alpha said similar things. Since I know even more about the mystical lore and have seen pictures of the old ruins, I just want to explore this world even more.
I like fighting in games, but only when I really want to.
Especially when exploring or gathering resources, I wouldn’t want to be unexpectedly attacked by a hardcore PvP player. The probability is high that I wouldn’t be able to keep up.
This is how I play today: In April 2020, I will turn 30 years old and like many others my age, I have a full-time job and other adult responsibilities. I love my job and enjoy all aspects of my life – but hardcore gaming, as I was able to do during my studies, often has to take a backseat.
I no longer have the patience to perfect and optimize my stats and builds so that I am always ready to react to an opponent in an open world. However, building my house, discovering secrets, competing against AI – yes, I like that a lot.
I can also imagine participating in AI mass battles in co-op or trying out PvP here and there. However, I’m glad that I am given a choice.
Sometimes you just want to calmly hit some stones to relax.
These are the warning signs with New World
As much as I look forward to the new direction, there are definitely a few things that require caution. We still don’t know how the “opt-in feature” will ultimately look in reality.
Especially for PvP players, it would be quite frustrating if they eliminate an opponent, and a PvE player with divine protection comes along and steals the loot. We already know that there are rewards hidden behind PvP to provide an incentive. If these turn out to be quite good, the PvE players may be indirectly forced to play PvP again – tricky in terms of balance. It would certainly be worth considering offering separate servers here.
New World has undergone this transformation in recent months, at least as it sounds. It is therefore still uncertain how extensive the new planned PvE content will be at launch and how smoothly it will run from a technical perspective.
We’ll have to wait and see.
The construction of one’s own settlement will
Why I still believe that the new direction is good: At this point, I want to remove myself from the equation. On a personal level, I am simply grateful for the change. But I would not presume to criticize the creative work of another for their direction.
If the developers had decided to create a hardcore sandbox survival MMO, then that’s how it would be – it just wouldn’t be for me. However, the alpha test results of the developers show that I am not so alone in this.
New World is surely now more geared towards mainstream with its open-world PvE orientation. We already know from other conversations with MMORPG developers that it’s not easy to find an answer to the modern players’ lack of time.
Whether New World will become an objectively better game with the new direction is hard to say. However, I attribute more (commercial) success to the new direction and thus a greater chance of survival. Because it is truly not easy to land a hit in this highly competitive market and finance a game.
And yes, I am also happy that this matches my taste and my life circumstances.
Do you want to learn more about New World? We have compiled an article with the most important facts:
If you have a lot of money in GTA 5 Online, you could now lose a significant part of it. PC players are reporting a bug that takes away 54 million dollars from you.
What kind of bug is this? The Twitter account of TezFunz2 regularly reports on leaks, changes, and general information related to Rockstar Games titles. Now, it warns PC users of a bug in GTA Online that is draining millions of dollars from the super-rich.
This bug deducts excessively high maintenance costs for the bunker from you. Over 54 million GTA dollars – to be precise, 54,002,375 GTA$.
In a screenshot, TezFunz shows what the billing looks like.

According to early reports, this bug only exists on PC. Users on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One have not reported these issues yet. There are warnings against logging into GTA Online if
you have over 54 million dollars in your account
you own an arcade and the Master Control Terminal
So the problem only affects the part of PC players who are already wealthy. Perhaps these are the players who stuffed their pockets with the horse racing glitch in the casino.
Reports about this bug are still rare. However, the Twitter user TezFunz2 is a trustworthy source that deserves attention.
What can you do about it? Players advise not logging in at all until this bug is fixed. If you do log in, you should quickly transfer your money to the account of a secondary character so that you have less than 54 million in your own account – this way, the money might not be deducted, notes a Reddit user.
What are the reactions? Reactions on Twitter and Reddit are mixed. On one side, players like TheCupcakeScrub on Reddit joke and say: “Ha, I don’t even have 200,000 because I’m always buying car upgrades.”
Others explain that they already have billions in their accounts and suggest that this bug doesn’t bother them much.

The problems surrounding Team Griffin from the Korean League of Legends are not over yet. Now, one of the players is suing former coach cvMax, who allegedly assaulted him.
What is the lawsuit about? Player Choi ‘Sword’ Sung-won has filed a lawsuit against his former coach Kim ‘cvMax’ Dae-ho according to the Korean website Naver.
called him motherless, which is one of the worst insults in South Korea.
sought revenge if a loss occurred. He is also said to have threatened Sword’s family in this regard.
According to Sword, these actions left such a severe impression that he and his family are suffering from the psychological consequences.
Team Griffin, before the problems became public
What does Riot Games say about this? So far, the developers of LoL have not commented on the lawsuit. They originally banned cvMax for life from all activities related to League of Legends.
The South Korean government is now looking into whether and how coach cvMax will be punished. Sword’s lawsuit is also proceeding independently of this process.
Riot Games Korea will review the player contracts of all teams before the start of the LCK. Furthermore, standardized contracts are to be published in 2020, which are to be used for the LCK in the future.
Whether such regulations will also be made for other regions is currently unknown.
How to build strong La Liga teams in FIFA 20 without spending a lot of coins? Here are three suggestions from the Spanish league for Ultimate Team.
This is what the market is doing: The strong cards in FIFA 20 are still in free fall. Various promos such as the TOTGS and the soon-to-come Futmas event are currently causing prices to drop.
This currently allows for strong teams that you can assemble even if you don’t have a budget in the millions. After the Bundesliga and Serie A, today we turn our eyes to Spain. Many players can be obtained at low prices here as well.
Griezmann upgrades every team – but is very expensive
3 La Liga Teams for Every Budget
These cards are in the teams: Of course, absolute top cards like Hazard, Messi, or Varane are not only difficult to pull, but despite the falling prices, they are still very expensive. These cards are not included in the following teams. Here you will find teams for which you can quickly earn enough coins through smart trading.
La Liga Starter Team – 10,000 to 20,000 coins
This is how strong the team is: This first team is primarily aimed at beginners. It is suitable for the first matches and costs only a few coins.
With Eder Militao, however, you will find a player in this team who is also used in some really strong top teams. Kondogbia is a good destroyer in midfield. Navas and Tello provide quick counterattacks up front. With Joao Felix, you have a good technician at the forefront.
GK: Asenjo
LB: Gaya
CB: Fernandez
CB: Militao
RB: Trippier
CM: Wass
CM: Kondogbia
CAM: Muniain
LW: Tello
RW: Navas
ST: Joao Felix
Medium Budget – 50,000 to 60,000 coins
This is how strong the team is: If you have saved some coins, you can further enhance the starter team. Especially in midfield, you can now add affordable stars. Vidal, Fekir, and Saul all bring good stats and do not cost excessively. Up front, Aspas replaces Joao Felix and shines with high work rates. There are few changes in defense.
GK: Asenjo
LB: Gaya
CB: Fernandez
CB: Militao
RB: Roberto
CM: Vidal
CM: Saul
CAM: Fekir
LW: Asensio
ST: Aspas
RW: Navas
High Budget – 100,000 to 150,000 coins
This is how strong the team is: This budget allows for a strong upgrade. However, the goal is to create a balanced team. If you go for too many stars, there will be fewer coins left for other areas of the team.
Accordingly, players like Asensio and Aspas will remain in the team. With a slightly higher budget, you could replace the latter with Benzema. With De Jong, Isco, Dembélé, Semedo, Marcelo, and Courtois, real top cards come into play, which means you will definitely be well equipped.
GK: Courtois
LB: Marcelo
CB: Fernandez
CB: Militao
RB: Semedo
CM: Vidal
CM: De Jong
CAM: Isco
LW: Asensio
RW: Dembélé
ST: Aspas
La Liga Players with Strong Ratings
What can be improved in the team: If you have some coins left, there are several players who can complement and strengthen this squad. They have even better ratings but cost a bit more. These include:
Jordi Alba (87/ approx. 42,000 coins)
Luis Suarez (89/ approx. 42,000 coins)
Jan Oblak (91/ approx. 62,500 coins)
Luka Modric (90/ approx. 57,000 coins)
Clément Lenglet (85/ approx. 49,000 coins)
These players represent the next steps when continuously building your budget.
More good players can be found in these Premier League teams if you have less to spare for the Spanish league:
A new Overwatch mode makes Reaper a boss like from the anime “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure.” He has just too insane abilities.
In Overwatch, there has been the “Workshop” for quite a while now. Here, talented and creative players can develop their own game modes for Blizzard’s hero shooter. In the past, we have presented some interesting concepts here, like Super Smash Bros. or the Sparta mode.
But one mode crowns it all. The player Therister pulls out all the stops of the workshop and has developed an extremely cool and complex boss fight. It is an asymmetrical game mode – multiple players fight as a team and one player takes on the role of the boss.
How does the mode work? The mode represents a boss fight as known from asymmetrical games. The team takes on heroes of their choice while the player controls Reaper. However, he does not have his usual abilities, but a whole set of skills with which he can manipulate time. This makes him extremely strong and hard to catch.
The game ends when the team can kill the boss (Reaper) a total of 5 times or when Reaper achieves 25 kills beforehand.
What can the boss do? Reaper’s abilities have received special tricks in this mode. Not only does he have twice the usual health points, but he can also manipulate time in various ways to deal with the numerical superiority of opponents.
Time Stop: When Reaper uses “Phantom,” it not only has its usual effect, but time freezes for all other players. They cannot move until Reaper ends his Phantom mode. This means that Reaper can position himself perfectly for a headshot.
Time Reverse: When Reaper uses his Shadow Step, he is not only teleported to the target position but also rewinds the time of all other players by 4 seconds. They move back to their old position and their health points and ultimate charge are also reset to the previous state. Reaper’s health points are reset as well, but not his ultimate charge.
Slow-Motion Grenade: Using the interact key (default: F), Reaper can throw a grenade. Enemies hit are trapped in “Slow Motion” for several seconds. They move extremely slowly, their projectiles fly at reduced speed, and their mouse sensitivity is lower, making aiming more difficult.
Acceleration Dart: With the alternate fire (right click), Reaper can shoot an acceleration arrow at an opponent. Hit opponents move much faster, their projectiles fly faster, and their mouse sensitivity is drastically increased. However, their bodies quickly decay, taking a lot of damage over time.
Ultimate – Time Paradox: When activated, all enemies are trapped in a time loop. They experience the last 5 seconds three more times in a row and cannot control their character during that time. This means that all players (except Reaper) perform their actions identically – 3 times in a row. Reaper can move and shoot freely during this time but cannot use any other abilities.
The community is very enthusiastic: This game mode is likely one of the most popular that fans have created in Overwatch. In the Overwatch subreddit, it has received many upvotes and an extremely high approval rating of 99% – an absolute rarity in that subreddit.
Players are very impressed and compare the fight to various enemies from the anime “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure” (link to the anime stream). There, too, the adversaries always have increasingly absurd abilities.

How can you play the mode? If you are excited about the game mode, you can try it out in the workshop. For this, you need to use the code “WR6S2,” which is the latest version at the moment (12/16/2019, 14:45). You can also play the mode while waiting for another match – it is perfect for playing a few rounds in between.
What do you think about this game mode? Extremely impressive what Therister has created? Or is it rubbish?
In Destiny 2 has the new season started and an unpopular weapon type steps out of the shadows. Read here why the Breach Light pistol is currently so good and could even be the best primary weapon in PvE.
About this weapon: The Breach Light pistol is used in the kinetic slot and fires in bursts. This means that the weapon does not shoot a single shot when the trigger is pulled, but several shots at once. In the case of Breach Light, two hard-hitting projectiles leave the barrel each time.
The primary weapon has excellent range, aim assist, and recoil direction for a pistol. You can get Breach Light from the new Sundial activity and the Obelisks.
This is what Breach Light can do: Do you want to take out adds with a burst? With this pistol, it’s everyday life. Even a body shot is more than enough for most enemies with a red health bar. If you have a damage buff active, you can easily take on majors.
The range is surprising for a pistol. Even at increased distance, you deal solid damage. In the patch notes for the current season of the dawn, it simply stated for pistols: “Aim assist increased overall.” The update seems to have made significant improvements to the aim assist and hitbox.
Even console guardians shouldn’t have problems with the controller to hit accurately with Breach Light.
The damage test in the Lost Sector on Titan also underlines the qualities of Breach Light with hard numbers. The pistol achieves the following DPS:
Without a damage buff, you deal 11,570 DPS against the ogre. That’s a strong value for a primary weapon.
If you increase the damage, for example with Multi-Kill Clip, you reach 17,300 DPS.
The Destiny expert Ehorar from the renowned clan Redeem believes that this weapon will become the new meta in PvE. Watch the following video for his reasoning and see how well Breach Light performs.

This roll you should hunt: Breach Light does not come with fixed perks – unlike the current ritual weapons. To get the best combination, that is, the god roll, you have to rely on your loot luck.
Getting a good roll is not that difficult in the case of this pistol. The weapon has almost only strong perks. However, we recommend the following for PvE:
Barrel: Go for Hammer-Forged Rifling for range or Corkscrew Rifling for a handful of stat boosts.
Magazine: With the fallback magazine, you reload extremely quickly. Tactical Mag provides a comprehensive package for various stats.
Perks in the first slot: Here you either go for the old acquaintance “Outlaw” for very fast reloading. Alternatively, Demolisher gives you a lot of grenade energy back on kills and reloads the weapon as soon as you throw a grenade.
Perks in the second slot: In PvE, go all in on damage buffs. With Multi-Kill Clip, your damage increases by up to 50%.
Pistol against Recluse
This is how the Recluse currently performs: Not long ago, it was said that anyone not using the Recluse in PvE was doing something wrong. Bungie has caught wind of this and announced a nerf. How strong is the SMG now?
Especially the weapon mastery ability made the Recluse incredibly powerful. After a kill, there was a bonus to damage. The special thing was that the damage for body shots was significantly increased. Precise targeting was not necessary.
Previously, weapon mastery brought a 20% extra damage for headshots and a whopping 100% more damage on body shots.
Today, weapon mastery is at 20% for both head and body shots.
This means that your DPS in comparable conditions, like with Breach Light, is at 14,000, behind the pistol. In close combat, the SMG is still strong. However, the aim assist and bullet magnetism noticeably decrease after a few meters between you and the enemy. You now need to aim significantly more precisely to get the maximum out of the Recluse.
The weapon is also far from being bad or unusable in the current season. But the Recluse is no longer the all-dominating primary weapon.
The former terror of all opponents: The Recluse
What do the guardians say about the pistol?
This is how the community receives Breach Light: The new pistol has surprised many ‘Destiny 2’ players. Very few guardians seem to have expected a pistol. We have gathered some opinions for you here:
On Reddit, some guardians are asking: Could Breach Light be the best weapon of the season?
Even the appearance is met with much praise. Joyfully, it has been stated that in Destiny, one can finally walk around like the namesake, tormented hero from the action blockbuster John Wick.
Also on MeinMMO.de, some readers have already taken notice of Breach Light. For example, “vv4k3” wrote: “The Breach Light is the same archetype as the Smuggler. Looks better and has cool perks.”

Players have noticed a major issue in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Apparently, some camera angles are incorrect – and this causes a strong weapon attachment to suddenly be deadly for you.
This is the attachment in question: The attachment in question is the tactical laser. You can attach it to many weapons via the gunsmith feature in the laser slot. Its advantages are:
ADS speed
Target stability
Target stability while running
As a drawback, opponents can see the laser (even without night vision). Nevertheless, it is one of the strongest attachments, as it is the only laser that helps reduce ADS speed.
Laser makes you visible, but the camera is to blame
This is the problem: In a reddit thread, user Xeccess pointed out that the laser can be seen around corners. It hides behind a container on the popular map Shoot House and aims at a passage.
Since he has mounted his weapon and is therefore “in sight”, the laser is visible. However, to stop opponents from detecting it, he aims at a wall. This way, he wants to block the laser so that it is not seen.

However, that does not work. An opponent appears and takes him out immediately. In the killcam, it is shown that the laser was clearly visible, even though Xeccess was actually aiming at the wall.
How does this happen? Apparently, it is caused by a bug with the camera angles. The angles displayed for players do not fully match what opponents can see. This is also shown in a short clip by user Piece_of_Sheet.
There it is shown how he gets slaughtered in Azir Cave by an opponent who comes sliding around the corner at high speed.

In a frame-by-frame capture, he shows that a few pixels of the opponent were visible for exactly 33 milliseconds (2 frames at 60FPS). That shouldn’t be enough to take him out directly.
Generally, the rule of thumb in shooters is: if you can see the face, he can take you out. However, this is not the case in this clip – and a possible reason for the love-hate relationship some players have with Modern Warfare:
Borderlands 3 gets its first major story DLC. We present to you 11 new legendary weapons and 4 class mods that a player leaked on Reddit. They supposedly come with the new DLC.
This is what the DLC is about: In the story expansion, your path leads you to the completely new map “Handsome Jackpot”. This is a huge casino that Handsome Jack built while he was still alive.
Here you can, of course, indulge in gambling , but you also have a mission. You are supposed to rob the place, as the title of the DLC “Moxxi’s Heist of The Handsome Jackpot” reveals. You will shoot your way through some opponents as usual. You can already check out how that looks in the first gameplay video.
If you own the season pass or the super deluxe edition, you will automatically have the DLC. Otherwise, you can of course purchase it separately.
11 new legendary weapons leaked
On Reddit, the player CREmACquesOM shared a post in which he shows 11 new legendary weapons from the first major DLC. They supposedly entered the game files with the last patch a few days ago. He also shares screenshots of each individual item.
These are the 11 weapons that Reddit expects you:
Burning Skovill
Potent Nukem
Cash-Infused Viral Heart Breaker
Dueling Lucky 7
Shredded Craps
Shredded Creamer
Shocking Tactical AutoAimè
Powerhouse Cheap Tips
Stark ION LASER
Searing Relentless Boomer
Subsidized Slow Hand
Players of previous titles may recognize some of the firearms. There are cool gems from the barmaid Moxxi. You already know the weapons Heart Breaker, Creamer, and Slow Hand from Borderlands 2. In the third part of the series, these weapons are also supposed to grant you health while shooting.
According to Reddit, Zane’s mod has a 5% chance to proc. For FL4K, the leak is a bit older. His class mod could already be admired in the gameplay video of the DLC. With this new item, FL4K’s critical damage is boosted, which guarantees high damage numbers for some builds.
Ultimately, we must wait to see which legendary items await us on December 19. But there are only a few days left, and then it will show whether the new weapons can replace some of the old favorites.
Here you can see how a Pokédex could improve Borderlands 3:
Amazon has revealed many details about the new MMO New World. It also involved the game’s combat system. They describe it as a mix of World of Warcraft and Dark Souls.
What is the combat system like in New World? The new MMO from Amazon features an action RPG combat system. You must aim at enemies yourself and actively attack them. There will be no tab targeting, nor a visible mouse cursor.
Fighting in New World is said to feel dynamic and very physical. When you strike an enemy, the hit is physically connected to the foe. This should be visible and felt, even when shooting at an enemy and hitting them with a projectile.
The combat system is described as very position and skill-based. You won’t get light MMORPG fare where only cooldowns need to be managed.
Where do the information come from? Coinciding with the release of the new trailer we conducted an interview with Game Director Scot Lane. Below you’ll find what we learned about the combat system from the interview.
The Mix Makes It
Where do the inspirations for New World come from? Scot Lane revealed to us that the biggest inspirations for New World come from WoW and Dark Souls. Both games had an influence on the combat system:
I personally drew most inspiration from WoW, one of the best MMOs ever made, and Dark Souls. We took a lot from these for our action RPG combat system. We try to mix the two games a bit.
But Black Desert and many other great games have influenced us as well.
Which parts of the combat system are like in Dark Souls? New World focuses on an action-packed and physical combat system. Accordingly, there are:
Directly targeting enemies, positioning plays an important role
Physically noticeable attacks
A dodge roll
No tab targeting
Which parts of the combat system are like in WoW? Content for character development was taken as a model from the MMORPGs:
Attribute points for the character
Skill trees for weapons
The combat system is intended to be less punishing than before and more adapted to MMO fans
Combat System in the Alpha Still Very Rough and Slow
New World presented itself from September 2018 to June 2019 in an initial Alpha. In December 2019, the MMO returned with many new details. The PvP requirement was removed and combat was made significantly more dynamic.
How was the combat system in the Alpha? The combat system there was described as very rough and sluggish. Attacks were slow and there was a stamina bar that made many attacks impossible one after another.
Additionally, there were no options to improve weapons and related skills. Skill points for weapons or a skill tree were omitted.
Fighting Like in Dark Souls? Game Director Scot Lane compared in the interview with MeinMMO the combat system of New World with that of Dark Souls, especially in the first Alpha.
However, there were many improvement suggestions after the testing phase. This ultimately led to classic MMO elements flowing into the fights:
We learned a lot from our Alpha test. Especially our MMO players asked us to develop the game even more towards MMO. [..]
We adjusted the combat system, we had pushed it a bit too much towards hardcore.
The Punishing Elements Removed
What has changed in the combat system? Scot Lane told us that the already mentioned stamina bar has been completely removed. Furthermore, the combat system is intended to be more dynamic and less limiting than it was in the Alpha.
He himself says that testers will hardly recognize New World next time they try it:
When you try New World next time, you will say: “Oh my God, it feels so good, so responsive, and so much faster.”
Previously it was aimed at hardcore players, now you feel the action RPG without it feeling too limiting. I am so excited, it is hard to put combat into words.
What changes for the weapons? An important role in fighting in New World is your equipment. Since there are no classes, it determines your playstyle.
Each weapon now has skill trees, with which you can adjust the playstyle. Scot Lane described them as follows:
If you choose the axe, and it becomes your main weapon, you might want to upgrade a skill tree for fast melee attacks.
Maybe you want to become particularly good at throwing them. Then you will put your points into throwing.
Similarly, a one-handed sword could be used as an offensive weapon or in combination with a shield for tanking. It all depends on the points distributed in the skill tree.
The skill trees complement the attributes system of the characters. This brings some classic MMORPG elements into the combat system.
Some innovations have also been made to the story:
The Twitch streamer LIRIKtested a really nasty setup in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare that was even embarrassing for him in the end. Nevertheless, it seems to be effective.
What was this setup? For this, LIRIK equipped himself with a riot shield and a rocket launcher. In addition, he took C4 with him and strutted around the map.
The streamer only had explosive weapons and could protect himself with the shield from opponents with assault rifles.
“What the hell is this? This is so dumb”
See the scene here: In the following clip, you can see LIRIK in action with this setup. He eagerly collects kills by dropping C4 on enemies or blowing them away with the rocket launcher.

LIRIK even survived a C4 attack from an opponent. The opponent threw the explosive at the streamer, but the shield absorbed the damage, allowing LIRIK to survive.
In the end, the streamer even hid cunningly in a house and set a trap for an opponent. He let him in and ran straight into the C4. LIRIK himself stood safely behind his shield.
This is what LIRIK says about the action: He can hardly believe that this setup worked so well. During his kills, he said things like: “Are you kidding me, what the hell is that? This is so dumb!” or “Oh my God, I would leave the game out of anger.”
The streamer is aware that this combo is really unfair to players who use regular rifles. In the end of the clip, however, he accepts this inequality and continues to have fun with his combo.
That’s why the setup could be embarrassing: Many players are already critical of campers and often get upset about them. If you then get taken out by a camper who has tucked himself in a corner with a shield and is hunting players with C4, the shame afterwards could be great.
The streamer Turner “Tfue” Tenney is number 1 on Twitch and known for his Fortnite skills. However, after the new update in Fortnite, he got upset. Because Epic had fixed his favorite loophole in Slurpy Swamp with the patch: The shield exploit in Fortnite no longer works.
This is the background: In Fortnite, shield potions have existed for ages. In Chapter 2, Fortnite now showed where this shield potion is made: in the landing zone “Slurpy Swamp.”
This is where the Slurp Juice comes from.
Here stands a factory that extracts and produces shield potions from a “shield river.” Near the factory, there are also large tankers from the “Slurp” brand filled with shield potions.
This is the shield exploit: If you want to break the tankers in Fortnite with a pickaxe, it takes a few hits and takes a while. However, it was possible to build a structure under the trucks, resulting in them being destroyed and the player receiving the full amount of shields with less effort.
For pros like Tfue, such a trick provides a few seconds advantage to quickly start a match with 100 shield energy.
Here is one of the tankers that promises so much shield points.
This is how Tfue reacts: In a match after the latest patch in Fortnite, Tfue lands at the start of a round right at such a truck, quickly chops down a tree for materials, and places pyramids under the trucks. However, they no longer destroy the truck: The trick has been fixed. Tfue now has to spend valuable seconds destroying the truck “normally” in Fortnite.
Tfue reacts as usual with restraint:
“Epic, are you kidding me? Go fuck yourselves. It’s like you watched my stream… I mean seriously, why are you doing this?”
Tfue
Tfue is upset that an Epic employee specifically spent time making this trick impossible. And he was even paid for it. Tfue seems to feel this as a personal affront against him.
“That was then his priority. But why? Did it really affect the game?”
Tfue is annoyed that he now has to hit the truck again for “30 minutes.” In the clip, the destruction of the truck takes 5 seconds, with 7 hits needed with the pickaxe.
WoW Classic has brought many players back to Azeroth. But some of them have really fallen in love with “Retail-WoW” afterwards. Did you feel the same way?
The release of World of Warcraft Classic must have been nothing short of a huge success for Blizzard. After all, the release caused the largest increase in subscribers in the history of the MMORPG.
Players are moving from Classic to Retail: While the advantages and disadvantages of WoW Classic and “Retail-WoW” (i.e. the modern WoW with Battle for Azeroth) are often discussed on Reddit and in the official forums, there seems to be an ever-growing group of players who have not journeyed from Retail to Classic, but vice versa.
Time and again, players are reported to have learned through Classic that Retail is actually a really good game. Comments like the one from Reddit user mjeed03 are often seen:
I came back for Classic and then stayed for Retail.
Some players elaborate a bit more on their opinion. For instance, keshikeshkesh writes on Reddit:
Yes, likewise – at least to a certain extent. Even the simplest endgame content of Retail far exceeds what is available in Classic, whether raids or reputation grinds.
But in terms of content that is not strictly endgame content, I find Classic superior. Leveling is more challenging, low-level dungeons are immersive and rewarding, and character progression exists at every level.
I really wish there was a combination of the two – the leveling experience of Classic and the endgame of Retail. I think that would be fantastic.
Other players, like Slaythepuppy, see the balance of Classic as the main problem as to why it couldn’t hold their attention for long:
My biggest concern with Classic is the balance. While WoW was never the best when it came to balance, Classic feels like the worst balanced version of WoW, and it only gets more extreme with the release of new phases.
From Classic to Retail – How has it been for you?
But now, let’s get to you, our readers! Have you had similar experiences with WoW and Retail? Did you return for Classic, but are now mostly playing Retail? Or has Classic completely detached you from Retail? Please participate in our survey and let us see what path you have taken in WoW recently.
If you want to elaborate on your choice, please feel free to leave a comment about your journey and how the release of Classic has influenced you.
The update for the Casino Heist in GTA Online also seems to have brought Formula 1 cars. At least according to the findings of data miners who found the high-performance racing cars. They are showcased in the video.
What was found? A highlight in December for GTA Online is undoubtedly the new Casino Heist, which made its way into the game through an update. Data miners combed through the code of the new patch and discovered content that Rockstar Games has implemented but not yet released.
These leaks include some new cars, a trike and even a mini-tank. However, the two found Formula cars, which are presumably Formula 1 cars, are causing particularly much buzz.
One of the two Formula cars found in the code of GTA – Source: FoxySnaps on Twitter
How good are the cars? The values for top speed, acceleration, and handling could change before the final release of the cars.
Early testers have unlocked the cars in the game through indirect means and tested them. Both, the Progen PR4 and the Ocelot R88, reportedly have a built-in boost. It charges when accelerating and braking.
Moreover, you currently cannot use drive-by weapons while driving these cars. It is possible that this setting will be modified before the release of the two vehicles.
The YouTube channel Pyrerealm Gaming – Rockittt showcases a few clips in the video where the cars have already been tested on the streets of Los Santos. There you can get a first impression of the unreleased cars from the Casino update of GTA Online.

Tuning of the Formula 1 cars: Some players wondered if the tuning options for the Formula cars would be sophisticated or rather sparse. After all, this is a completely new type of cars that Rockstar Games would be adding. Front and rear spoilers are an important part of the concept.
The YouTuber Cone 11 took the Progen PR4 and brought it to the tuning shop at Los Santos Customs. In the video, he shows modifications for the wings, tires, and more. After that, he speeds through the streets of GTA 5 with the high-performance soapbox.

In the comments on YouTube, players speculate that Rockstar Games might want to introduce a completely new type of race where the new Formula cars can shine. They are likely to secure a significant place among the fastest cars in GTA Online.
If you want to start securing some money, then follow these steps and become a millionaire:
In the hunt for the new ritual weapons from Season 9, not everything is going as it should in Destiny 2. And now it’s known why. We show you what it’s about and what you should pay attention to.
All three firearms are tied to their own quests, during which you must complete several tasks. And there seem to be problems with some tasks – at least with the Python and the Komodo.
What is the problem with the ritual weapons? For the Python, you have to achieve a total of 500 kills with shotguns in Gambit matches. You also need to score 150 shotgun kills from close range.
For the Komodo, you must participate in Crucible matches, where you need to achieve 125 kills with linear fusion rifles or 15 precision kills with one of this weapon type.
The problem is: Often you do not receive any progress for these steps – neither in the Crucible nor in Gambit. Even if you clearly meet these criteria multiple times during matches, nothing happens in the quest display – the kills do not count. But why?
The reason seems to be joining ongoing matches. Many players have now found that you do not make any progress for these steps when you are assigned to and join ongoing Crucible or Gambit matches. Because there, none of your corresponding achievements are counted – no matter how well they may be.
What you should pay attention to in the hunt for the ritual weapons: In short, you can still make progress – just not in ongoing matches.
If you are currently hunting for both or one of these ritual weapons, you have the following options:
Leave the ongoing match and join a new match, hoping that you will be assigned to a game that you compete in from the start. However, this is not particularly fair or nice to your teammates. Furthermore, you cannot do this too often due to the resulting warnings or even temporary bans.
Switch to your regular Gambit or Crucible loadout, finish the ongoing match, and then hope that you will be competing in the next match from the beginning. Even if you end up in an annoying lobby, you might also want to consider not leaving after the match and starting a fresh player search. This increases the chance of getting into an ongoing match.
By the way, as some players report, this bug seems to be causing issues in other areas of the game as well, where similar requirements apply – including with bounties and quests.
This is what Bungie says: In the corresponding Reddit post, the community manager Cozmo23 has spoken out. He reported that the developers will take a look at whether anything has gone awry with the “Join in Progress” mechanic.
What are ritual weapons anyway? Ritual weapons are essentially a kind of toned-down form of pinnacle weapons in Destiny 2.
Ritual weapons, such as the popular scout rifle Randy’s Throwing Knife, do not have unique perks like the pinnacle weapons anymore. They only come with hand-picked rolls. In addition, the quests for ritual weapons are shorter and do not require as much grind as some pinnacle weapons did.
Are you also affected by this problem or have you noticed other issues with the quests for pinnacle weapons? By the way, new weapons are not everything that Season 9 has to offer:
Streamer Harrison “HarrisonJr” Patrick Stewart had 80,000 followers on Mixer. But after a comment about the game Fortnite, Microsoft terminated his partner contract.
What was the comment? It was a tweet that HarrisonJr has since deleted. The tweet shows a picture of the streamer wearing sunglasses and a mustache, with the sentence: “Come and watch a registered sex offender play Fortnite with 10-year-olds.”
Then followed the link to his stream.
This tweet was quickly deleted, but caused some trouble. Source: Twitter
It was probably meant as a joke that he looked like someone who preys on children with the mustache and sunglasses. However, this joke was not well received.
Outraged Reaction – Permaban Demanded
This was the reaction: This “joke” immediately blew up in the streamer’s face. On Twitter, it quickly became clear that this was a topic you don’t joke about. The streamer was promptly reported to Mixer. A permanent ban was demanded for him.
Twitter users reported the tweet to Mixer and demanded the permaban. Source: Twitter
This is how Microsoft reacted: Within a short time, Microsoft responded and revoked his “Verification” badge on Mixer. This effectively ended the partnership between Microsoft and the streamer on Mixer.
A partnership is an important business foundation for any streamer and an economic factor.
In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, Microsoft referred to its rules at Mixer. There is a clear clause in the rules: “It is NEVER okay to talk about sex and individuals under the age of 18 at the same time.”
They take complaints very seriously and respond immediately. They reviewed the case and decided to end the partnership with HarrisonJr.
This is how the streamer reacted: He deleted the tweet when the first criticism came and issued an apology to everyone he had offended. It was meant as a joke, but he acknowledged that it’s something one shouldn’t joke about.

However, this apology sparked negative reactions. On Twitter, others accused him of intentionally crafting the tweet to provoke. The apology was deemed insincere. It was seen as a deliberate provocation to draw attention.
After this first apology fell flat, he later addressed the situation again with a video. The last few days had been tough, and a lot had hit him. He felt he had disappointed his community and the Mixer platform. He takes responsibility for this and deeply regrets it.

He says he shaved his mustache, looked creepy, and wanted to make a joke about it. He is not a sex offender but made jokes about it and thereby became part of the problem.
At the moment, his Mixer channel is empty, all videos are deleted. It reads “I’m sorry.”
Why this is so sensitive with Fortnite: Especially with Fortnite, the topic of “pedophilia” and sex offenders is so delicate because many children play it.
In September 2018, there were investigations by the FBI in the USA that games like Fortnite or Minecraft were used by sex offenders to contact children. Here, 24 people were arrested in New Jersey.
As early as April 2018, horrified parents in England raised the alarm:
The new multiplayer game Naraka: Bladepoint is strongly reminiscent of the action RPG Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, only here you beat each other up.
What is Naraka: Bladepoint? The multiplayer action game was announced during the Game Awards 2019. It places you on a mysterious island where you contend with other players over secrets.
You move completely freely on the island
The melee combat is very action-oriented, but also tactical
The goal is to uncover the secrets of the island
You can sneak and attack from ambush
PvP is at the center
The developers follow the approach “Easy to learn, hard to master”
Your skills and equipment are important

What is special about the game? Naraka: Bladepoint aims to impress with several interesting features:
You can move freely in the world, climb, swing, jump… There is no place you cannot reach
The combat system relies on a novel “No Block & Parry Button” mechanic. The developers have not yet revealed exactly how it works, but the battles are promised to be particularly exciting and action-packed
Why does it remind you of Sekiro?Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is the current action RPG from From Software, the developers of the Dark Souls series and Bloodborne. There are indeed some parallels to Naraka.
That’s why Sekiro comes to mind when watching the trailer:
The Asian graphic style and the setting with Asian fantasy elements
The grappling hook, which can be used to traverse the game world
The clothing style recalls Sekiro
The combat system that combines tactical elements with fast action
More information in 2020
When will the game be released? Besides the fact that Naraka: Bladepoint is supposed to be released in 2020, nothing else is known. However, the developers want to reveal more about the game next year. It is at least planned for PC via Steam.
Who is Naraka suitable for? Judging by the first trailer, Naraka is a game that could be interesting for anyone who wants to experience multiplayer melee combat against other players while exploring the secrets of a large, open island.
