Is BlizzCon a family event? Not in 2019, as Blizzard warns of content that may not be suitable for children.
In a few hours, BlizzCon will start and is likely to unveil numerous new games that fans can look forward to in the coming months and years. However, a sign at the BlizzCon venue is already causing a stir, as it seems not all content at the convention is suitable for a younger audience. This fuels the hopes of the fans.
What happened? First visitors to the BlizzCon venue in Anaheim have noticed a sign in front of the building. Blizzard warns:
This year’s BlizzCon opening ceremony will feature content that may not be suitable for younger viewers. Parental guidance is recommended.
There is also a note that the opening ceremony can be viewed in another hall without this content for those who prefer to filter out such material.

What does this mean? This warning reinforces the suspicion that Blizzard will release a hefty trailer for Diablo IV during the opening ceremony.
After all, Diablo is considered (along with StarCraft) Blizzard’s “darkest and most brutal” franchise, where blood and guts fly around and terrifying beings roam.
Overwatch and Warcraft, on the other hand, are more suitable for a younger audience despite the warlike actions, due to their iconic comic style and colorful world.
This is also reflected in the ESRB rating: Overwatch and Warcraft are usually rated for “Teens”, while games in the Diablo series almost always have an “M” rating, meaning they are intended for an adult audience.
Fans are excited: On social media and Reddit, most players are now sure that the warning at BlizzCon 2019 can only be about the new Diablo. However, some still do not fully believe this and say “Don’t give me hope…” At least there is still a lot of skepticism about Diablo IV and whether it will meet the expectations of long-time fans remains to be seen.
In theory, a new franchise could be possible – or something from the StarCraft universe, but there have been no leaks about that so far.
The Division 2 attracts various characters to the devastated Washington with its multiplayer elements. Check out what kinds of player types the apocalypse has produced and what you can learn from them.
What is The Division 2 for a game? The Division 2 is a realistic loot shooter developed by Ubisoft’s Swedish studio Massive. The title is set in a not-so-distant future where the Division agents try to free the former capital of the USA from anarchic forces after an apocalypse.
The game’s motivation is to build efficient or at least enjoyable equipment combinations, called builds. Through missions and projects, agents collect increasingly better gear and confront the dangers of the collapsing society.
Everyone copes with these circumstances in their own way, and The Division 2 encourages players to show their true gaming face. Here’s a not-so-serious overview of the different player types in the post-apocalyptic shooter.
The Division 2 community is a colorful bunch
What player types are there? In Division 2, hardcore tacticians and flower pickers collide. The community is a colorful mix of nice people who enjoy scouring the ruined metropolis, as well as spoiling otherwise successful bandit raids.
The tactician always looks for the most efficient solution to a bandit problem.
The Tactician
What is the Tactician like? When you include a Tactician in your team, you’re doing everything right. However, from that moment on, you can’t seem to do anything right. Skill usage, unnecessary damage, or hasty attacks in new sections – Every action will be meticulously questioned and scrutinized for inefficiency.
Even if you’ve successfully completed a round full of strategic cover changes and efficient skill uses, it’s certain that a little sigh will be heard at the assessment of accuracy. Nothing below 75% is acceptable.
How to deal with Tacticians: This type of player wants to improve their game while bringing the team along. Get motivated if you want, or profit for as long as possible from the insidious methods of their attacks. But set boundaries and make it clear from the start that regulating your bathroom behavior is absolutely out of the question!
Raid compatibility: Absolutely given!
Builders search long for their desired gear parts.
The Builders
What defines the Builders? Always on the lookout for the latest build trends and further min-max opportunities, the game is virtually a complicated science in their eyes. Builders can philosophize for hours about the best combinations of talents, attributes, or weapons, thereby driving up the time spent on the social points of MMOs in unprecedented heights.
With their expertise, they often mask a lack of technical skills, but still somehow manage to escape tricky situations with their 20k-damage striker drone. Additionally, this player type exhibits a strong tendency to spontaneously freeze when discovering new gear items.
How to deal with Builders: Armed with value charts and calculators, the Builder’s most dangerous weapon is the game meta. Every little disparaging comment about your sidearm should raise your awareness if you also seek optimization. However, once you let their obsession overtake you, you’ll quickly forfeit bold suggestions regarding build quality.
Raid compatibility: Stochastically tested!
Globetrotters always have time for a selfie.
The Globetrotter
How does the Globetrotter experience Division 2? A relaxed teammate with an eye for beauty. Every tiny, lovingly crafted detail from the developers is recognized and admired down to the last polygon. This player type lives for the little nuances in The Division 2 and loves to get lost in the visual particularities that digital Washington offers at every corner.
Always on the lookout for snapshots, they don’t miss a chance for good motives. When a good spot for a photo is found, all that’s missing is the picnic emote to properly celebrate the wait for the scenically valuable sunset.
How to deal with the Globetrotter: With a Globetrotter, the pace of the game slows a bit, and enemies become a side issue. Let them show you cool places and collectible items like charms or hidden paintings. If you just want to quickly grab your reward, it’s better not to take one of these delicate souls on the hunt.
Raid compatibility: Should be demonstrated by a group photo from the first raid completion!
The heatwave event a few months ago marked the beginning of the colorful movement of Division 2.
The Colorful
What has gotten into the colorful agents? A class all of their own are the flip-flop wearing rainbow agents. Having fought into the endgame without a single quiet kill and plenty of noise, this player type needs every help they can get. Never out alone, fun and teasing their team colleagues are the focus of their Division mission.
Phantom fire, suddenly exploding barrels, and strange equipment combinations, the flamboyant player character makes you think with their appearance and truly brings a splash of color to the game. However, they should never team up with a Tactician; this combination bears more explosives than a full magazine of grenade launchers.
How to deal with the Colorful: If you can’t use a clown in your team, you should keep your distance from the flashy special agents. However, if you can handle a little relaxation between the ruthless grind and the build spreadsheets, take a deep breath and let their latest half-knowledge about the current patch bring a smile to your face.
Raid compatibility: Seriously doubted!
If there’s loot, the game hoppers are usually there.
The Service Game Hopper
What’s going on with the multi-game player? Barely in the game and already stressed. With three ongoing events under their belt, the Service Game Hopper is always on the move between different live-service games, the number of which is only limited by their hard drive capacity.
With carefree ease, they farm known loot spots and play daily activities at a motivating pace. Barely logged in, they’re already almost on the move to the next colorful adventure, but always happy to see the familiar faces of their short-term relationships.
How to deal with the Service Game Hopper: Remember their farming methods and you might even find room for improvements. Gather information from other games that might be interesting to you and use their expertise for a successful entry into a new franchise. If this player type isn’t loyal enough for you, an inappropriate remark about the last Elder Scrolls Online update will make sure you never hear from them again.
Raid compatibility: Confirmed for four MMOs!
If the team stops briefly near a park bench, an old-timer might be present.
The Old Timer
What can be expected from the old-timers? With the pure leisure of flowing ketchup, the old-timers navigate through the occupied corners of the city. Having been there since the early hours of Division 1, veterans often have a derogatory anecdote about the new mechanics of the second part and always conclude how good Division 1 was in the end.
This player type has two types of gaming sessions. The first is relatively short, as it is usually interrupted by important real-life issues or unexpectedly early bedtimes. In the second, however, the advantage of a body worn down by work coffee shows, as they can use the free and planned time for gaming well into the late-night hours with full concentration.
How to deal with the old-timer: We’ll all eventually become this player type. Listen to their little stories and note traits and sounds you don’t want to adopt in old age. If you have a bit more time and don’t mind the intrusive aroma of Eau de Cologne, trips with this type of player can be quite pleasant.
Raid compatibility: First-try excluded!
Every player of The Division 2 has their own style.
The Division 2 offers many different player types, and everyone should give new players the chance to prove themselves – whether through gameplay or character. Who knows what exciting experiences or stories this player has to offer.
Have you recognized any clan colleagues? What player types have you encountered?
The tactical shooter Ghost Recon Breakpoint has flopped. Ubisoft has announced it will change the development process. According to a new report, this already has consequences. Ubisoft wants to know from each team: What makes your game unique?
Where is the information from? US journalist Jason Schreier is regarded as someone who has many insider contacts in the industry. He spoke about changes at Ubisoft in a podcast (via kotaku) but did not name sources.
This is what Schreier says:
I had conversations with some people and they say: “Ubisoft is now drastically changing its mentality.” Now it’s only about how to present your game to the decision-makers so that it is super-unique and has unique aspects.
Everything sounds pretty wild, there is a crazy atmosphere there.
This is the context: A week ago, Ubisoft’s CEO, Yves Guillemot, went public with new financial figures. Ghost Recon Breakpoint is a commercial flop, and The Division 2 is also not performing as well as expected. Therefore, three games are being postponed.
Consequently, Ubisoft had to lower its financial expectations for the current year – this led to a drop in stock price. Ubisoft’s stock fell to its lowest point in two years.
This is what it’s about: The new rule, “every game must be unique,” is probably the main lesson Ubisoft has drawn from the flops.
Both Ghost Recon Breakpoint and The Division 2, Ubisoft only promoted through the story – not through new gameplay features or gameplay ideas. Apparently, they were lacking.
This approach of “remaking” a game that has already been made, but with a new story, does not seem to have worked well for Ubisoft in these cases.
They have apparently identified this as a weakness.
On November 5th, it starts again. The Iron Banner is back in Destiny 2 and you can once again flex your power level muscles. Additionally, there are some changes for heavy ammunition.
When does the Iron Banner come? Lord Saladin returns with the next round of the Iron Banner.
Iron Banner Control starts on November 5th at 6:00 PM
It ends a week later, on November 12th at 6:00 PM
You will have four bounties for the Iron Banner week that you can complete. The bug that caused daily resets of the bounties has been fixed.
However, you should wait to turn in your pinnacle rewards from the banner until the hotfix goes live on November 7th.
As a result, the rewards will be 2 levels above your power level, not just one level.
What are the changes? A few weeks ago, changes were made to the spawn rates of heavy ammunition in the Crucible:
In “Control,” you can pick up heavy ammunition starting at second 45. The next time, the ammunition will spawn in 120 seconds (previously it was every 60 seconds) after picking it up.
In “Conflict” and “Supremacy,” heavy ammunition will be available for the first time starting at second 60. After that, you will have to wait 120 seconds.
These adjustments will also apply to the Iron Banner next week.
What’s new? Other content that has been added or will be coming soon includes:
A few days ago, the new dungeon “Pit of Heresy” opened its doors
As a Bungie Bounty starting November 2nd, the streamer King Gothalion is active, who recently switched from Twitch to Mixer. If you catch him, a nice emblem awaits you
In the LoL Worlds, G2 Esports is the strongest team in Europe. Their secret weapon: They joke around, even at the crucial Worlds. While their Korean opponents in the League of Legends were technically stronger, they couldn’t handle the pressure.
This is the game: Last weekend, G2 Esports beat the Koreans from DAMWON Gaming. This was not surprising for viewers, as G2 Esports was considered the clear favorite to win the quarter-finals at the Worlds.
However, it turned out that it wasn’t that obvious beforehand. In practice matches (scrims) of the two LoL teams, the Koreans had wiped the floor with G2 Esports.
As G2 Esports coach, the German Fabian “GrabbZ” Lohmann says, G2 Esports almost never won against DAMWON Gaming in training matches.

The Koreans say: The coach of the Koreans says (via inven), his team was really good in the scrims. If it had gone as it did in the practice matches, they should have beaten G2 Esports 3:0 or 3:1.
They had trained a lot against them and G2 Esports played exactly the same in the practice matches as in the tournament. There were no surprises or tricks.
Nuguri, the top laner of DAMWON Gaming.
However, the difference was the environment. His players apparently lost their nerves when playing in the large hall before a loud, European audience. That was too much for DAMWON Gaming.
Already at the 2018 Worlds, it had been shown that scrims are just scrims and the tournament is something else. In scrims, Invictus Gaming hardly had a chance against Korea – in the end, however, they won.
Ultimately, it is important to keep your nerves when playing live in front of a large audience.

Silly quotes and insider jokes – clown fiesta in action
This is how G2 Esports deals with pressure: The Europeans published a video after the victory against DAMWON Gaming, showing how their Teamspeak was during the match.
You can see that the five LoL heroes from G2 Esports are joking around during the match as if it were nothing:
The mid laner Caps lets out a “battle cry” in the middle of the fight
The atmosphere is overall relaxed – there is quite a bit of trash talk before and after the match
The 5 players are clearly having fun and are not letting the pressure of the Worlds get to them. ADC Perz also explains in the video that you shouldn’t ride the hype of the audience too much – just a little. Because if you get too carried away, you make bad plays.
The fans love to see their players like this. It is said that when you see them play, you can’t imagine what kind of “clown fiesta” is behind it.
Interestingly, however, in most team fights, very clear commands are given. It gets serious here. Clearly communicating which opponent has already used their Flash and thus is an easier target.
However, there is a downside to the joking around, as the coach says. In between, the team almost lost a big lead because the bot lane got “bored”, played riskily, both died, and then “giggled” afterwards.

For the moment, however, it seems to work. G2 Esports withstands the pressure of the Worlds because they act as if these are completely normal matches.
This weekend, it’s the semifinals of the LoL Worlds against SKT1 featuring the legendary mid laner Faker. He is used to pressure.
The MMORPG Camelot Unchained has pushed back its release date again. It will no longer be coming in 2019. There is no new window for the release yet, but in 2020 the PvP MMORPG is expected to be at least in a state where it could be released.
Did it even have a release date? Well, sort of. In January 2018, Camelot Unchained received a funding boost of $7.5 million.
Back then, the head of the studio, Marc Jacobs, said that the release of Camelot Unchained was planned for 2019, but without guarantee.
In recent months, it seemed like Camelot Unchained would not be able to meet the release date. However, the developers still did not want to officially postpone it. It depended on the personnel situation whether they could still keep the release date in 2019, it was said in June 2019 (via massivelyop).
“We want to get Camelot Unchained right”
This is the new announcement: As MassivelyOP reports, Jacobs has now admitted in a livestream that Camelot Unchained will not be released in 2019. He says that anyone who is so angry about it that they want their money back can have it. He begs players not to give him more money.
The fans of the MMORPG will hope that the long wait is worth it.
Jacobs believes that the team is capable of bringing Camelot Unchained to a “release-ready state” by 2020, but even then it would not have all the features.
He thinks he could provide more details about a release date or release window in early 2020.
There will be nothing on the market like Camelot Unchained
This is what it’s about: Camelot Unchained is an indie project that Jacobs is financing with his own money, money from investors, and money from backers. It is an attempt to develop a new type of PvP MMORPG – an earlier project by Jacobs, Dark Age of Camelot, is considered a pioneer in the genre.
However, Camelot Unchained has chronically struggled to find qualified technical personnel, as is known. Jacobs said, all companies are fishing in the same pool of talented people and he is competing with Google, Amazon, and Facebook for programmers.
Jacobs and his team apparently don’t feel a real rush. He says in a comment on MassvielyOP: There will be nothing on the market that is like Camelot Unchained. From what he sees. That doesn’t mean it will be the “best game ever”, but they have a lot of unique and risky things that they are bringing to Camelot Unchained.
The fans of the MMORPG will hope that the long wait is worth it.
Pokémon GO has announced the research breakthrough for November and December 2019. There will be 5 legendary Pokémon available, much to the joy of many players.
Which Pokémon are included? In the breakthrough, there are now 5 Pokémon, all of which are already known from previous breakthroughs. They are:
All about the breakthrough in November and December
When does the new breakthrough start? From tonight, November 1st, you can obtain the 5 Pokémon. At 9 PM, the new reward will be available.
What do you have to do for the breakthrough? You must complete field research on 7 different days. On the 7th day, you will receive the research breakthrough as a reward. It includes one of the 5 Pokémon and useful items, such as the Unova Stone.
No more Eevee
How is the breakthrough received? This research breakthrough isn’t particularly spectacular, but many players prefer the legendary Pokémon over Eevee. There was a lot of criticism when Niantic included Eevee in this reward.
JosephBayot writes on reddit: “Not super exciting, but definitely better than flower crown Eevee.” This statement resonates with many trainers.
That’s why players hope: For 2 months, there hasn’t been any Eevee available in the wild. Only the breakthrough provided you with this Pokémon. Now players hope that Eevee will return to the wild.
Which Pokémon is best in the breakthrough? All Pokémon are interesting because they can all be shiny.
Kyogre and Groudon are likely to be the most interesting
In terms of usability, Groudon and Kyogre are probably the best. Groudon is among the best ground attackers and Kyogre is the best water attacker alongside Kingler.
Moltres is also not bad, but there is now a lot of competition in the fire type. Articuno and Zapdos are solid attackers, but not the best in their types.
Team GO Rocket might soon have an addition. Recently, Rocket boss Arlo was introduced:
In the current blog post, Bungie discussed the pinnacle rewards and their impact on the power level of Guardians in Destiny 2. A lot will change regarding the power level next week. MeinMMO has the overview!
How is the power level currently increased? To level up in power, Guardians need to find pinnacle rewards, of which there are 7 in normal weeks:
Guardians particularly struggled to level up in power when they received multiple rewards for the same slot. Since pinnacle rewards were only available one power level above the current average level, some Guardians were stuck.
This will change next week.
Pinnacle Rewards: 2 Points Above Your Average Level
What changes with the pinnacle rewards? In the future, you will receive pinnacle rewards not just with 1 power level above your average level, but 2 power levels. The pinnacle rewards will therefore be more powerful.
As a consequence, this means that you only need to have 4 pieces of gear at a certain level to increase your average level. Previously, all 8 slots had to be at the same level. This change ensures that you level up faster, even if you should find duplicates for certain equipment slots.
When is the power level change coming? Next week, on Thursday, November 7th, the change will go live via hotfix.
Attention: Since the weekly reset happens before the hotfix, you should definitely wait until the patch before you claim or earn your pinnacle rewards. Otherwise, you won’t benefit from the changes.
The Iron Banner will also return next week
Since the Iron Banner will also return next week, you should also wait here with redeeming your pinnacle rewards.
What do you think of the changes? Are they irrelevant to you because you are already at max level?
In Pokémon GO a new Raid boss will appear in November. Kobalium will replace the Regi Trio and will be available for almost the entire month of November. We provide information on its usability and the times when Kobalium rules the raids.
Kobalium will remain available in Pokémon GO raids until November 26th, and you will have enough time to secure the PokéDex entry.
Everything you need to know about Kobalium
How strong will Kobalium be? First, let’s take a look at the Pokémon’s stats:
Attack value: 192
Defense value: 229
HP value: 209
Maximum CP: 3022
Kobalium belongs to the Knights of Integrity
In terms of stats, Kobalium is not convincing. The values are decent, but they do not stand out. Especially the attack value is weak, which is particularly important for legendary Pokémon. Kobalium is also not convincing for PvP. Its attacks are too weak for that.
What attacks does it learn? Currently, the attacks for Kobalium do not look very promising:
Quick Attacks: Metal Claw, Zen Headbutt
Charge Attacks: Close Combat, Stone Edge, Iron Head
Kobalium does not have a quick attack of the Fighting type and rather weak Steel-type attacks. Its types cannot be well utilized.
How does one counter Kobalium? The Pokémon is of the Fighting and Steel types and therefore weak against the types Fighting, Fire, and Ground. The best Pokémon here are those of the Fire type, such as Skelabra, Lohgock, or Lavados.
Lavados is a good counter against Kobalium
A detailed counter guide to Kobalium will be added at the release of the Pokémon.
How many people do you need for it? Kobalium can already be defeated well by three players. No particularly strong counters are needed for that.
Is the Pokémon worth it? The game’s meta will not change with Kobalium. Pokémon like Metagross or Dialga are significantly better Steel attackers. It is also unlikely to appear as a Shiny. Thus, you do not need to do many raids of this Pokémon.
The big live event in Pokémon GO starts on Saturday. Here is an overview:
In Borderlands 3 (PC, PS4, Xbox One), a new update is scheduled for today, October 31. A hotfix is coming tonight; let’s take a look at the patch notes. Meanwhile, something is already happening in the game: The “Haunted” enemies are increasing – their spawn rates are only elevated today. The enemies are essential for the challenges around Bloody Harvest, the Halloween event.
Things are already different in Borderlands 3: At 4:55 PM our time, Gearbox announced via Twitter that there are more “Haunted” enemies in the game than before. This seems to be a Halloween surprise for the Vault Hunters.
The hunt should therefore be especially worthwhile from our perspective until November 1 at 9 AM. The spawn rate for “Haunted” enemies is reportedly only higher today.
It is said: Today would be a super day to tackle the challenges of the event “Bloody Harvest”.
When does the patch come?? A hotfix is also planned. It should be deployed by tonight at 11 PM at the latest.
What does the patch change? This time there are only balance changes. The patch mainly concerns removing so-called “progression blockers” from the game. They have responded to fan feedback and have repaired several quests and solved smaller issues:
There were issues when trying to use fast travel in the quest “Footsteps of Giant” – this has now been fixed
Additionally, they have repaired the lettering on the legendary sniper rifle “Stalker” – nothing on the weapon itself was changed
The hotfix resolves many collision issues in Borderlands 3
Troy should now spawn with a pistol
The “On the BloodPath” mission has been fixed
There was one change to a weapon. The shotguns from “Tediore E-Tech” will now deal 50% more damage. There was a bug before.
You can read the full patch notes in English here (via borderlands.com).
“No Nerfs – No Salt”
This is the feedback: On reddit, they are discussing the patch and noting that there are hardly any balance changes this time. This would also mean there is no salt, referring to complaints.
Kingdom Under Fire 2 is a new MMORPG that also includes many strategy elements. This involves commanding troops. A new trailer shows how this works.
What is shown in the trailer? The new trailer for the MMORPG showcases epic and sometimes massive battles that must be controlled and commanded by the players.
This clearly shows how Kingdom Under Fire 2 differs from other MMORPGs. In addition to a character that you can level up and improve over time, you also need to keep an eye on your troops:
You have various units at your disposal, such as infantry, archers, mages, and also huge scorpions.
You are right in the action with your character and can participate in battles and use special skills.
With quests and a vast game world, Kingdom Under Fire 2 mixes role-playing and real-time strategy elements.
The trailer particularly impresses with the size of the battles. Not just small groups face off against each other. The scale and complexity seem comparable to strategy games like Total War.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8vheVcNLGs
5 Classes and many different units
What tools are available to the player? As a player, you first need to create your own character. You choose one of 5 classes. You can create a melee or ranged fighter, depending on what suits your playstyle and the way you command.
For your battles, you can also rely on 10 different troop types. How to unlock these and how they can be utilized is not yet known.
Many of the troops and the way you command them can already be admired in the trailer linked above.
On the official website, you can already pre-order the game. KUF2 will be Buy2Play, similar to Guild Wars 2 or Astellia. The cheapest package is available for 29.99 euros, and the most expensive for 99.99 euros.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare comes with familiar killstreak rewards in multiplayer and enhances a good game with really strong abilities. Here you will find a list of the killstreaks and some tips on how you can also work successfully with the arsenal.
How do the killstreak rewards work in Call of Duty? The soldiers of the current Call of Duty have access to not just a bunch of weapons, equipment, and perks. A significant impact on the gameplay is made by rewards for the killstreaks.
The rewards are unlocked through consecutive kills. The gadgets acquired with a higher streak become increasingly valuable. While 4 consecutive kills provide a reconnaissance drone that is helpful but not particularly dangerous, a patrolling attack helicopter at 11 consecutive kills is already a tough opponent.
Every support is welcome in the combat on the dangerous multiplayer battlefields.
Modern Warfare 2019 again with killstreaks
Every soldier can select 3 of these rewards and significantly influence their game. Check out the list of streaks and get some tips on how to get better at handling the heavy war machines.
What does the arsenal look like? Currently, the war machinery of Modern Warfare includes 20 support actions, all of which are nasty in their own way. Some are already available for selection, while for others, you will need to level up first to unlock them.

30 fat kills in a row
Tactical Nuke
The already familiar nuke from previous installments is also part of the killstreak mechanics. However, it doesn’t need to be selected separately and is automatically added to the inventory for anyone who achieves a 30 killstreak. The use ends the current game with a victory for your team!
The large bomber AC-130 is considered the hallmark of CoD killstreaks.
Changing and Using Killstreaks
How can I change the streaks? Before the game, you can choose your rewards. By selecting the multiplayer mode, you gain access to the weapon menu, where you will find the menu item “Killstreaks”.
And how to use them? In the game, the achieved rewards are displayed directly in the middle of the screen in the normal modes. On the right side, you have a progress display and can see which bonuses you have selected and which are currently available.
Key Bindings
PS4 / Xbox – D-pad Right
Radial menu: Hold button
PC – Deployment: Number key 3/4/5/6
Radial menu: K
Except for the standard and improved reconnaissance, the counter-drone, and the support helicopter, all streaks require additional commands and a simple activation of the abilities is not sufficient.
The Wheelson is a controllable gadget with powerful weapons.
Using the Skills – Planning is Everything
What should I consider when using the streaks? To deploy the weapons efficiently, it is first and foremost important to assess the situation correctly.
Obtaining Killstreaks
Each kill, without falling yourself, is part of a killstreak.
The HUD gives hints on how high the current streak is and which ability will be unlocked next.
Once unlocked, you can use the streak even after you have fallen.
Kills made with other killstreaks do not count towards the streak. (possible with perk)
Only one support per number of kills is allowed.
Using Weapons
Some killstreaks do not have their own control system and require manual inputs. During this time, you are incapacitated. So be sure whether teammates are protecting you or the position is calm enough.
The tank, the supplies, and the juggernaut must be collected first to utilize the benefits. This sometimes long interaction can leave you exposed and should also be planned carefully.
Tactical Analysis
Before using, think carefully about in which situation you want to deploy the valuable support. A drone is quickly earned, helpful, and can often be deployed immediately. An automatic turret, however, can be completely useless in the wrong location, and a hastily fired cruise missile can totally backfire.
Wait patiently for the right opportunity until you can pressure at least two enemies simultaneously with the attack, as that can quickly escalate to more.
The openness of the map can vary greatly, keep that in mind when choosing your killstreak.
Map Conditions
The environment also influences the effectiveness of attacks. Since the killstreaks involve air support, the open sky is almost always part of the action.
Supplies are dropped and helicopter strikes only hit visible enemies from the outside. Pay attention to the surroundings and remember spots on the maps where enemies tend to hang out or where you think is a good spot.
Killstreak Overkill
When the match has been going on for a while, there’s often an excessive use of reward streaks. Also, at the beginning, some players tend to release their drone to gain an advantage. Before deploying your support, see which streaks are currently being used by your own and the opposing team and adjust the activation accordingly.
If a drone is already in the sky, you don’t need a second one. It is also not helpful to deploy a cruise missile when a friendly helicopter is patrolling.
Utilizing Synergies
The streaks work well together, whether solo or in a team, the killstreaks should be coordinated.
Use reconnaissance to support other killstreaks. This way, you can ensure that the attacks have the desired effect.
Wait for someone to initiate an airstrike and place your turret near the enemies’ hideout.
Watch for synergies between the streaks, your playstyle, and team members’ support and utilize them.
Using Perks in CoD Modern Warfare
There are three perks in Call of Duty Modern Warfare that make achieving the killstreaks a bit easier for you. The abilities all belong to the red perks and cannot be selected simultaneously.
Hardliner (available from the start) – This perk reduces the required kills by one. Drones then only need 3 kills to unlock.
Kill Chain (available from level 34) – With this perk, kills made with killstreaks also count towards the other killstreaks. However, only kills with attacks that you have unlocked in the current life count.
Point Friendly (available from level 49) – Perk number 3 replaces the killstreak system with a points system. Rewards are assigned points, and upon reaching the score in the game, they can then be deployed. Each reward can, however, only be used once per game.
The reconnaissance drone is part of many loadouts.
Tips for Beginners: Support the Team
How should I proceed as a beginner? The points listed are a good foundation for using the arsenal. At the beginning, the selection of rewards is still very limited. You only have access to:
3 kills: Personal Radar, Shield Turret
5 kills: Cluster Strike
10 kills: Helicopter Gunner
The personal radar is quite helpful at the start. However, you should level up quickly and unlock more rewards. Choose your killstreaks according to your preferences, but also pay attention to synergies and mutual enhancements.
Solo: Alone you can try things out and support your teammates as best as you can. Take the supplies with you; this way, you have the chance for better rewards and can test them out. Skip the 5 kill reward and try to aim for the 7 kills from the start so you’ll have a really good reward once you achieve your first longer killstreak.
3 kills – Personal Radar
4 kills – Supplies
7 kills – Infantry Tank
Team: In a team, as a beginner, you are often the weakest link and should try to support your teammates as much as possible. Place the shield turret at critical spots and use the reconnaissance or counter drones at the right time. With the cruise missile, you can briefly see and announce enemy soldiers during the approach. Ask the quartermaster for a rocket launcher and take care of the enemy team’s drones, and you will soon be a valuable team member.
3 kills – Shield Turret
4 kills – Counter Drone
5 kills – Try all
The TJOL-Jet strikes an area first and then stays nearby for a while.
Tips for Advanced Players: Tactical Approaches Lead to Victory
I’m already grown! What can I do as an advanced player? As an advanced player, the reconnaissance drone is part of the absolute standard inventory. Decide together with your team or according to your playing style which streaks are best suited.
Solo: As a lone actor, a careful and calm approach is the key to victory for many players. Protect yourself from enemy reconnaissance with perks or the counter-drone, and once you have achieved the streaks, defend an area with the auto turret to secure even more kills.
4 kills – Counter Drone
7 kills – Auto Turret
8 kills – TJOL-Jet
Team: With teammates, you can be a bit bolder. Not everyone needs to take the drone. Let your teammates take the front line and try to achieve high kill streaks. If you want more risk, the aforementioned perk Point Friendly is a good choice. That way, you can be eliminated more often and continue to gather for the streak.
8 kills – Emergency Drop
Can be good for traps
10 kills – Helicopter Gunner
11 kills – Gunship
The improved drone has a poor cost-effectiveness ratio.
Which rewards might not be that good? Some of the killstreaks are difficult to use or do not provide the right value for the effort. Better avoid these abilities:
Shield Turret – 3 kills: The turret is unfortunately rarely helpful. The player gives up mobility for its use and can hardly participate in the hectic game. When defending points, it plays its trump card, but the personal radar is usually still the better choice.
Improved Drone – 12 kills: This item offers the least utility compared to the effort and can safely be ignored. Better use the streak for one of the damage abilities.
Using the nuke will decide the game in your favor!
Tips for Veterans: Nuke as the Ultimate Hardcore Goal
My expectations are even higher, what do you recommend? For the upper echelon of the food chain, the tactical atomic bomb is the measure of all things. Ending the game with a button press and thus securing the reward for absolute top performance is something special.
The aforementioned perk Kill Chain is extremely helpful here since kills from streak rewards also count towards the nuke. With the help of the drone, you can aim for your first 10 kills in a row, and with a bit of luck, the other abilities can help you fill the rest.
4 kills – Recon Drone
Strong skill for many kills
Solo: Helicopter Support – 11 kills
Team: Gunship – 12 kills
15 kills – Juggernaut
But don’t lose your concentration in the moment of triumph. The nuke still needs to be activated, and you should not get caught when entering the code for the annihilation of the battlefield.

Just before BlizzCon 2019, there is a new leak about Diablo 4. It describes what is happening in the gameplay, how the game looks visually, and which classes are represented. We will show you the information.
Who leaked this? A thread by a user is being intensely discussed on Reddit, claiming to reveal new information about Diablo IV. While the game has not yet been officially announced by Blizzard, this leaker claims to know quite a bit already.
On his Reddit profile, several leaks can be seen that he published in the past months and which turned out to be correct. This includes the new Ghost Recon Breakpoint and its release date. Therefore, users trust this leaker quite a bit and are attentive to the new Diablo 4 information. After the first leaks, players still said, not to get their hopes up for Diablo 4. Is that changing now?
Update November 1: The leak seems to have been right. Diablo 4 will be really dark, and the team demonstrates this with these story and gameplay trailers.
This is how the visuals change: The new information suggests that Blizzard aims to create a mix of Diablo 2 and 3 with Diablo IV.
Diablo IV is said to look “dark, gloomy, and disgusting”; no “colorful rainbow bullshit this time,” writes PracticalBrush12 in his leak on Reddit. The areas where you play are supposed to be darker. Corpses are lying around, enemies are decaying, and cities are desolate.
Is this already too colorful?
Mounts in Diablo 4? Characters should now be able to use horses and possibly other mounts. How to obtain them and when or how they can be used is unclear.
Interaction with the environment: It should be possible to climb walls with characters.
Which classes will there be? The leak claims to confirm three classes already:
Mage
Barbarian
Druid
The Mage is said to fight with fire, ice, and lightning spells; the Barbarian uses swords, axes, and other weapons. A Druid fights with electricity and wind. Additionally, he should be able to transform into animals like bears and werewolves.
This is how combat works: As usual, you should be able to play in 4-player co-op. PvP might also be available from the start. Generally, the combat from Diablo 3 is said to be improved. This is also confirmed by analyst Daniel Ahmad on Twitter:

The BlizzCon 2019 is just around the corner, bringing together many Blizzard fans. But what are you actually waiting for? What do you hope for from BlizzCon?
Overall, fans of all genres are likely to see one or another treat in 2019. Here’s just a small overview of things that are considered practically confirmed:
MMO fans are looking forward to a new WoW expansion
Hack’n’slash enthusiasts will get a glimpse of Diablo IV
Strategy players will receive Warcraft III: Reforged in a few weeks
Shooter fans will be presented with Overwatch 2
CCG players can expect a new Hearthstone addon
Mobile users might receive info about Diablo: Immortal
What will be exciting? Besides that, it might be possible that there will be more announcements and innovations that have not yet been leaked. Therefore, one or another surprise is likely, especially since J. Allen Brack called BlizzCon 2019 the “best BlizzCon yet” and this statement will likely be evaluated. After all, last year was more of a disaster because they did not hit the nerve of the fans. This was closely followed by many negative reports about layoffs.
However, this year it will not only be about games, as due to the Blitzchung affair, there are also many protests planned. Some might also be curious about how this situation will develop.
Mei has been turned into a symbol of protest – in boycott against Blizzard.
What our editorial team is looking forward to
We have already gathered a few opinions from the editorial team for you:
Cortyn says: I am super excited for the reveal of the new WoW expansion because I am really enjoying the story at the moment. I can only hope that we will get a bit more detail about the “end” of N’Zoth, whom I don’t want to see defeated so quickly. But also the fact that the Lich King is probably playing a significant role again makes me very happy. After all, I still have fond memories of the Death Knight campaign from Legion, which was pretty dark…
Patrick says: At BlizzCon 2019, I have the highest expectations for the Diablo franchise. Above all, of course, the announcement of Diablo 4. I am most curious about what the first videos will look like and whether there will be gameplay to admire. An early release date would also be very cool. After the many leaks about Diablo 4, I am excited about which dark adventure we will plunge into next.
Schuhmann(who doesn’t know what “4-5 lines of text” means)says: I am most looking forward to Diablo 4. I am curious about how they will approach it and whether Blizzard will signal what new ideas they intend to bring in. The whole “more social” elements thing is something everyone is doing right now. That would just be Diablo 3 with a few new ideas: I want to know: Is the world destructible? Have they found a new twist in gameplay? How will Blizzard lead hacking and slashing into a new era and present it to a new generation of players?
For years, I have been expecting that Blizzard will make a mobile game in the Warcraft universe, a hero-collecting RPG. In Asia, such games are incredibly successful: You need a strong universe with heroes and villains that players have known for years, which they want to own and develop. In Asia, the Marvel universe or obscure anime worlds serve as backgrounds for such games. Blizzard has exactly such a universe with Warcraft, which they have been building for decades.
The vision becomes reality.
In my opinion, Blizzard has a license to print money here. I am sure Activision knows this too and has been working on it for at least 3 years to ensure that Blizzard finally makes such a game. I wonder if it is coming now and how they will manage to sell it without a shitstorm that is even bigger than that for Diablo Immortal. Because in Asia, these games clearly rely on Pay2Win concepts. That would likely not work for Blizzard here – unless everyone is so excited about Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2 that they can push a “WoW Mobile” through the door.
Leya says: I am particularly curious about how and whether Blizzard will respond to the “Hearthstone-Hong Kong” affair. Fans have already announced peaceful protests during the event weeks ago. It will not be easy to host a fan festival while the trust of the fans is crumbling.
But now let’s get to you! Tell us what you are particularly looking forward to at BlizzCon 2019. What are your hopes and wishes? Which game should be released as soon as possible and what titles do you want more information about?
Engage actively in the discussion and let us know what you are looking forward to!

In Pokémon GO this Saturday, November 2nd, the live event “A Colossal Discovery” is taking place. We will tell you how to make the most of the event.
What kind of live event is this? Those who paid €8.99 will gain access to this event. There you can receive numerous bonuses from 11 AM to 7 PM.
The highlight will be the early access to the legendary Pokémon Regigigas. You will receive it on the event day from a special research.
All info about “A Colossal Discovery” – Start time, bonuses
What: The live event “A Colossal Discovery” When: On Saturday, November 2nd, from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM German time Bonus: A special research around Regigigas to complete Bonus: Up to 10 Raid Passes can be used for free during the event period Bonus: One Unova Stone and one Sinnoh Stone Bonus: An exclusive medal for the event Bonus: An exclusive avatar pose
What you need to know about the times: You can only pick up the special research within the 8 hours. However, you can solve it afterwards. So you don’t have to play the full 8 hours to be successful.
How to best take advantage of the event
These preparations should be made: Before the event starts, you should gather a good team to set out with. Unlike the Community Day, not all players will be present, so you should know in advance who will actually participate.
Equally important is that you start the special research simultaneously with your fellow players. If one of them lags behind, you will have to complete some special raids or other things again for that player.
We recommend a group size of 5-6 players. This way you can easily handle the Regi raids while not having too many players to keep track of.
Things to consider: You have a total of 10 free Raid Passes available during the event. You should also use them within the 8 hours, as the passes will disappear after the event ends.
How to best use the passes: Part of the special research will certainly be that you need to do some raids for the Regi trio. So don’t throw away all your passes beforehand, but use them especially in line with the special research.
In general, the raids for the Regi trio are worth it, as they can all be shiny.
What else should be noted for the event? Otherwise, there is not much to note. The special research should be the focus, as you should complete it at least after the weekend.
Certainly, the quests will not be so extensive that they cannot be completed during the event. So you can approach it all casually.
Special research on Regigigas – What is known
Are quests already known? Currently, there are no leaks revealing the tasks surrounding the special research. If there are new updates, we will of course add them here.
Professor Willow will talk to you at the event
What can one expect? Part of the special research will certainly be the fight against the Regi trio. Just like in the console games, you had to possess all 3 Regis before you encountered Regigigas.
So expect quests like “Catch 1 Regirock, Regice, and Registeel”.
How many people are needed for this? Registeel can already be beaten well with three players. For the other two Regis, 4 players are needed if you are battling without a weather bonus.
To ensure the battle goes smoothly, we recommend a group size of 5-6 players.
Regigigas in Pokémon GO – How strong will it be?
These are the stats: First, let’s take a look at the exact stats to estimate how strong it will be:
Attack stat: 287
Defense stat: 210
HP stat: 220
Max CP: 4337
What does this mean for Regigigas? The stats of the Pokémon are excellent. Unfortunately, it is of Normal type and does not learn the best moves. This limits Regigigas quite a bit.
A detailed analysis of the Pokémon can be found here:
Blizzard wants to enter the mobile market and their first attempt was “rather average.” But how could they excite the fans for it?
If you envision the stereotypical image of a typical Blizzard player, they probably have a PC and have been playing games like World of Warcraft, Diablo 3, or StarCraft II for over a decade. The so-called “core gamers” of Blizzard are likely to be found on PC, even though Overwatch and Diablo 3 have been released on consoles, and Hearthstone works on mobile devices.
Blizzard is considered by many long-time fans to be a developer of high-quality entertainment on PC. Many Core gamers still do not want to connect Blizzard with the “shoddy” mobile games. After all, mobile gamers are not “real” gamers, as can be read again and again in many comments and opinions.
There’s big money in mobile games: However, it’s clear that mobile games are a true gold mine. Even if many PC players refuse to acknowledge it: With millions of mobile users, there’s a lot of money to be made, making smartphone owners an attractive target group that must be seized before all genres are represented and occupied.
The advantage is that there is still a lot of “junk” in the mobile sector, and some are still skeptical. Numerous mobile games rely on strong pay-to-win aspects to rake in cash. Here, Blizzard could prove itself and take the “more complicated” route, developing a game without pay-to-win excesses that instead focuses on skins and other cosmetic status symbols. After all, this has worked wonderfully for many games before.
What kind of games are conceivable? The possibilities for Blizzard in the mobile sector are virtually endless. It starts with obvious ideas like implementing the “Pet Battle” system from World of Warcraft, which players have been requesting for years. But there have also been good examples in the recent past that could be realized. An “auto chess” game like Teamfight Tactics featuring popular Blizzard characters would be easy to implement.
Similarly plausible and heading in a similar direction are “hero-collecting games” (often a type of “gacha games”), which have almost always been accompanied by strong pay-to-win aspects. In these, you often collect heroes multiple times to upgrade them and then complete quests or compete against other players in the arena. Similar to auto chess games, but with permanent upgrades and ongoing progress – and so far also almost always with pay-to-win, because those who want the best heroes can spend hundreds of euros on such games.
With the Blizzard heroes, many concepts could be implemented.
Only symbiosis can help: Honestly, I believe there is only one way for Blizzard to convince its core player base of mobile games – and that is by making the games not exclusively mobile and not pay-to-win. This was well noticeable last year with the question about Diablo: Immortal, when a fan asked if there were any plans to release the game on PC as well.
If Blizzard were to release a game on both PC and smartphones, acceptance would surely be greater. And perhaps then one or another player might start playing a game not just on their computer, but also on the go. This has worked pretty well with Hearthstone after all.
What do you think? What kind of game could Blizzard fans accept on mobile? Or is it nearly impossible?
In Destiny 2 you can earn rare pinnacle gear in the Haunted Forest. Find out in our guide how to progress in Destiny 2’s Halloween activity up to Branch 9 and deeper.
Your goal is to defeat as many enemies as possible as quickly as possible and to fight your way through as many branches of the activity as possible. You have a total of 15 minutes for this. The further you progress, the more challenging and difficult the Haunted Forest becomes. At the end, there’s a boss fight and a special reward awaits.
You can face the nightmares solo or with up to 2 companions thanks to the matchmaking. Like the Halloween event “Festival of the Lost”, the Haunted Forest ends on November 19.
That’s why you should visit the Haunted Forest: During the Festival of the Lost, you can loot thematic items. These include weapons at Level 950 and the popular masks. The costumes are inspired by iconic Destiny characters or your enemies.
To purchase these goodies, you will need special festival currency (Chocolate Coins and Candies). You earn these in the Haunted Forest, among other activities.
But there’s another reward waiting for you in the Haunted Forest: pinnacle gear. This rare reward grants you items with up to 960 Power. That is currently the absolute maximum.
Otherwise, you can only receive pinnacle gear from endgame activities such as:
the raid “Garden of Salvation”
the PvP event Iron Banner
the Nightfall (for 100,000 points)
the new dungeon
Trick or Treat
Goal: Earn Pinnacle Gear in Branch 9
This is how you get to Branch 9: To collect the pinnacle gear, you need to fight your way to Branch 9 of the Haunted Forest. Here are some tips to make your run easier:
You only have 15 minutes for the activity. Move quickly and ignore individual enemies or candy drops (these will automatically go to your post). You don’t have to eliminate every enemy. Once you reach 100%, you will be teleported to the boss.
If you see a giant Hive Knight with an axe – run away! This “Unyielding Terror” is invulnerable and meant to make your life difficult.
Get out of here!
If you encounter red doors, there are demons in the area ahead. Once you defeat them all, the way forward will open.
Pay attention to the modifiers. With each new branch, you will receive new debuffs. Be sure to check what is currently active. In the deeper levels, more than one modifier can be active.
Oh great – The modifier Blackout and a melee demon
Wear the Mask
Use this gear: You can get Halloween masks from Eva Levante. These are not just cosmetic items but powerful support.
The masks have a mod slot that is only active in the Haunted Forest. You can choose from three perk combinations. All have the in common that they have extremely useful abilities. In addition to damage resistance and bonuses, there are also cooldown boosts. All masks possess the useful perk “Heavy Ammo Finder”.
This ability works wonders in the Haunted Forest. Thanks to the perk, you should be able to use your power weapon permanently.
Add Clear and Boss DPS: Since you have nearly unlimited heavy ammo, you should use an LMG as your power weapon. Whether you use legendary variants like “Hammerhead” or “21% Delirium“.
Or if you decide on the exotic LMGs “Thunderlord” or the new “Xenophage“, these weapons wipe out all minor enemies, adds, and demons.
Theoretically, you need hardly a primary weapon. Consider taking two special weapons instead. Shotguns, snipers, fusion rifles, or grenade launchers like the Summit are good options.
To properly hit the bosses of the branches, use a combination of:
Your super
The special weapons (as LMGs hardly deal damage to bosses)
In Fortnite you need to find a new letter, the T, which is hidden in the loading screen. We will show you the location at Dirty Docks, where you can see the T.
What is this challenge? With the new Chapter 2 in Fortnite, there are many new challenges for you again. Instead of hidden stars, you now need to find letters.
This challenge is part of the “Alter-Ego” challenges. For this theme, Epic Games regularly hides letters on the map.
If you collect all 8 of these letters, you unlock a mysterious item that Fortnite has not revealed yet. Anyone who wants to experience this surprise should start collecting letters now.
Here is the hint: Regularly, there are hints in the loading screens of Fortnite indicating where you can find the new letter. In this loading screen, the letter is hard to find. We will first show you the hint and then the location:
Where should you search? As can be seen well in the image, you should search for the letter at the harbor this challenge week.
If you look closely, you can see the “T” in the top right corner of the image. It is on the platform that has been set up between the two cranes.
You can easily reach this scaffold if you build a ramp up with materials. If you want to avoid that, just run up the stairs that start at the bottom near the scaffold. The letter should then appear in the middle at the top.
You will find the Dirty Docks area in grid field H4.
In Fortnite, you can expect several challenges this week. You should drive through fire rings with boats and visit certain places on the map.
In Fortnite, we are in week 3 and there are new challenges to complete. In a Dockdeal challenge, you need to visit a boat ramp, Coral Cove, and the Zapper Pond. We will show you the locations.
What is this task? In one of the Dockdeal challenges, you need to visit different locations.
You do not have to complete the mission in one match. So you can take your time.
Requirement: You need to have unlocked this challenge beforehand before you can start searching.
Visit a boat ramp
Where should you land? The boat ramp is located between coordinates D8 and E8 on a hill. There you will find a speedboat.
Location on the map:
Location at the boat ramp: When you fly there, you will see a hill with a speedboat and a fire ring. That is where you need to land.
Visit Coral Cove
Where must you land? The Coral Cove is a landmark that you will find on an island northwest of Sweaty Sands.
Location on the map:
Location at the Coral Cove: On the island, you will see several huts with coral-like roofs. Once you are there, the message will also appear: New landmark Coral Cove.
Visit the Zapper Pond
Where must you land? You will find the Zapper Pond between Holly Hedges and Salty Springs. This is also a landmark.
Location on the map:
Location at the Zapper Pond: The pond is easy to recognize. Unlike the pond nearby, you will find a house here. Once you are at the pond, the message will appear: New landmark Zapper Pond.
If you have visited all 3 locations, the task counts as completed and you can focus on the next challenges.
Here you can see how to defeat the Storm King most easily:
