Especially the dark atmosphere of the expansion was highly appreciated by many fans who wanted more of it. Shadowkeep also delivers tons of new lore for players interested in that.
However, there were also many Guardians who were disappointed by the story of Shadowkeep and expressed their displeasure publicly on Reddit. The community also criticized that most of the new areas on the moon were actually copied from Destiny 1. This gave them a bad taste of recycling.
Here’s how you can vote: We want to know what grade the MeinMMO community will give Destiny 2: Shadowkeep. That’s what this survey is for.
Vote further down in the Apester tool what grade you would give the game. The rules are:
1 – extremely bad, really unbearable
10 – the best thing that has ever happened to you
Also, let us know in the comments which aspects of Shadowkeep you liked or disliked. We will incorporate these comments into our review of the test.
The survey ends on October 13. So you still have plenty of time to thoroughly test the new content of Shadowkeep.
Here’s how to submit a user review: You can also give Destiny 2: Shadowkeep a rating on our site and write a user review.
To do this, you need to click on the red box on the right side in any Destiny 2 article. The best user reviews will be featured on our site as full-fledged articles.
This is what Shadowkeep offers: The latest expansion of Destiny 2 is the first major update that Bungie released after parting ways with publisher Activision. Some features and systems from D2 were revised partly for that reason.
But now it’s your turn: Tell us what you think of Shadowkeep so far. How do you find the new armor system? Have you tried the raid yet? How does Shadowkeep compare to other expansions? Share it in the comments!

Season 11 of Fortnite is starting soon. A leak now shows how the game could continue at the start of the new season. We are talking about Chapter 2, and images of a new map can be seen.
What kind of leak is this? An image was uploaded to the Apple Store that shows what Season 11 in Fortnite could look like. It was in the Italian Apple Store and was removed shortly after, but some players photographed this image before it was taken down.
Just like in Season 10, there was a similar problem. The Brazilian Twitter account of Epic released the trailer for Season 10 much earlier than expected. Epic Games had to officially release it afterwards.
Leak shows next chapter and new map
What can be seen in the leak? In the uploaded image, you can see many hints pointing to the new Season 11. For example, it shows:
A new map with a river and other POIs
Boats on the river – a new mode of transport?
A new variant of the default skins
These three things could indicate a major change at the start of Season 11. After two years, the long-awaited map would finally be coming to the game. However, this has not yet been officially confirmed.
Here is how the leaked image looks: The data miner ShiinaBR posted on Twitter the leaked image that was uploaded in the Italian App Store.

When does Season 11 start? When exactly the new season starts is still unknown. Season 10 ends on October 13 at 8 PM, along with the overtime challenges.
After that, the live event will take place on Sunday, October 13 at 8 PM, right after Season X ends. Whether the new season will start immediately after or there will be a longer downtime in between is still unclear.
Fortnite: Chapter 2 instead of Season 11
This is interesting: Epic has not yet mentioned Season 11. The current season is called Season X.
It is possible that Fortnite will not start Season 11 at all, but that the next season will be called “Chapter 2” and a new beginning will take place.
What do you think? Would you be excited about the things shown in the leaked image?
It has been exactly one month since the Vault Hunters have been roaming the world of Borderlands 3. A lot has happened since release – what works, and what still needs improvement? An initial assessment.
The game primarily delivers what is familiar at launch: Fans of Borderlands have eagerly awaited the third numbered title and the fourth official installment of the Borderlands series. Borderlands, Borderlands 2, and Borderlands The Pre-Sequel have set a high bar.
The series is characterized by numerous loot and skill opportunities, a distinctive graphic style, and quirky humor. All elements that Borderlands 3 also builds upon.
Especially praised were the large variety of weapons, some improvements over the predecessors, and the retention of the Borderlands formula. Players are having fun with the game – whether it’s about farming bosses, collecting legendary weapons, or finding funny Easter eggs.
Overall, the mood around Borderlands 3 – especially at launch, but also currently – can be described as positive. However, some criticism points have also arisen alongside the enthusiasm.
At launch, good vibes dominated in Borderlands
This was not so well received: On the one hand, there were scattered voices wishing that Borderlands reinvented itself a bit more strongly than it does in part 3 of the series. There were also some flaws, especially regarding the technical side of the game.
For example, there was criticism regarding the partially shaky performance of the game. There were lags in menus and frame rate drops. Especially the splitscreen mode is lacking in terms of performance. To this day, these issues have not been comprehensively addressed. Although there have been some patches – they have been received more or less mixed.
Patches in Borderlands 3 – This is the mood
This was patched: The patches in Borderlands 3 have mainly dealt with rebalancing the Vault Hunters or some weapons. Among other things:
This is how the patches were received: The patches are seen as a double-edged sword, trending towards the negative. It causes some frustration in the community that popular play styles are nerfed – some builds are thereby made more difficult or even unplayable. Patches that enhance or improve certain elements are primarily well received – like for example with Zane, who had severe bugs. Weaknesses are generally unpopular in the community.
Many players would rather see technical issues addressed than balancing issues in a game that largely does without PvP. The back and forth of the Vault Hunters causes some frustration.
Story completed, and now? The endgame in Borderlands 3
This is what the endgame in Borderlands 3 offers: A month after release, most players have completed the story in Borderlands 3. And now?
After the story, there is definitely still plenty to do. Borderlands 3 offers:
The Mayhem Mode with crazy modifiers and random elements
Is that enough in the endgame? It depends. Many players use the endgame opportunities to collect all special weapons or reach the maximum level. However, those who are primarily driven by the story feel somewhat neglected currently. Mainly, there is the option to tackle the True Vault Hunter Mode – which only shows already known scenarios. Hence, there is a segment of players currently standing in the world of Borderlands 3 without too much to do.
What’s next – DLC and updates
What’s next? Borderlands 3 recently launched an event series for the tenth anniversary of the series. The first week made boss fights more lucrative, in the second week, there were more rare enemies. However, these events were mainly for players who are primarily interested in collecting weapons. In the coming weeks, more events will be added:
These will be the major innovations: One can expect completely new content from the Bloody Harvest Event coming at the end of October. It will immerse the world of Borderlands in a spooky atmosphere, bringing new weapons, special missions, and also a new boss. The event will come in the form of a free update – just like the “Maliwan Takedown Event,” which will follow later.
The conclusion: Overall, the mood around Borderlands 3 can still be considered positive. Players continue to discover new aspects and secrets in the game, which keep it fun in the long run. The Borderlands formula continues to work.
However, there are certainly some critical points that mar the gaming experience. The back and forth with the patches and some technical issues make less happy. Here’s hoping that the technical problems will be resolved. Besides, it is slowly time for new content – after all, Borderlands 3 should also offer much to discover in the long term!
Fortunately, there is soon a new supply! Maybe in the form of this potential raid boss?
The last vendor reset (Vendor Reset) of The Division 2 before Title Update 6 is here. To give you enough time to clean up your gear for the expansion next week, here is an overview of the items available.
What happens during the vendor reset? In The Division 2, the merchants of Washington vie for agents’ hard-earned credits every week. The reset brings new goods to the city and occasionally a strong value for the players’ builds.
Offers from the vendors change on the night from Friday to Saturday, and to spare you the extensive city tour to the individual sales points, we have put together a small display of the best offers.
Last vendor reset before Title Update 6
What do the items look like this week? The vendor reset brings a few stable average values this weekend, but doesn’t blow anyone away. However, a few of the rolls could be quite useful for some agents.
These are the 5 best values of this week
Alps Backpack
Vendor: Clan Level 30
Attribute: 608 Skill Power
Overlord Vest
Vendor: Clan Level 15
Attribute: 16% Health
Airaldi Gloves
Vendor: Campus
Attribute: 9% LMG Damage
D&H Holster
Vendor: Dark Zone West
Attribute: 517 Skill Power
Airaldi Holster
Vendor: Clan Level 7
Attribute: 26,165 Health
The Overlord Vest with 16% Health is the strongest value this week. While the top value for health with normal vests is around 30%, a build that focuses on a lot of health can work with the 16%.
However, this vest is not reachable without clan hopping, as the armor is available at one of the lower clan levels.
Cassie continues her hide and seek
And where is Cassie hanging out? Cassie seems to be constantly on the run and frequently changes her location. With one of the latest updates, the rotation of the secret arms dealer was changed and is no longer synchronized with the other vendors.
What else is there to report about The Division 2? The post-apocalyptic shooter is about to receive Title Update 6 and its largest expansion yet. While TU6 will be available for all players starting October 15, “Episode 2,” the free content expansion, will be available on October 22. Owners of the Year-One Pass can play the new content starting October 15.
Check here for the latest information on upcoming expansions:
The Icon Swaps 1 in FIFA 20 are now available. From now on, you can earn Legends. How the event works, you can find out here.
These are Icon Swaps: In previous FIFA titles, getting Legends was not easy at all. You could either pull them from packs with a lot of luck or buy them on the transfer market for a high price. These two options are still available. However, the Icon SBCs will no longer exist.
This third way of getting Legends, is replaced in FIFA 20 by the new Icon Swap event. According to EA, it is intended to allow more players to use Icons. Overall, the event aims to allow players to earn Legends. How exactly does it work?
Since when is Icon Swaps running? Icon Swap 1 has been live since Friday, October 11, a bit behind schedule! From now on, you can earn tokens through various tasks to exchange them for Icons in SBCs.
Drogba is part of the first Icon Swaps
This is how the Icon Swaps event works
These Legends can you earn: Overall, there will be three major Icon Swaps during FIFA 20. At each of the three event times, there will be a new selection of exchangeable Icons. Once an Icon has been in a Swap selection, it will not appear again in another form in the remaining Swaps. The first selection of Icons available since the event started looks as follows:
These Legends can you earn in the first Icon Swaps
Icon Swaps: Player Tokens and Rewards
This is how you get Icons: Each Icon card in the Icon Swaps costs a certain number of so-called Player Tokens. These are player items earned by completing various tasks. From October to December, you can earn a total of 24 tokens, which you can then exchange in Icon Exchange SBCs.
At the current time, you can earn 12 tokens – the second half of the tokens for Icon Swap 1 is now online. So if you have received all the tokens from the first half, you can now go after Legends like Drogba.
The Icons cost a different number of tokens. The cheapest Icon is Schmeichel with 6 tokens. Then come Jay-Jay Okocha and Pep Guardiola with 8 tokens:
The top Icons, on the other hand, will be significantly more expensive. Hagi or Owen, for example, will cost you a total of 20 tokens. This means you have to complete many tasks over a long period.
This is how much Drogba costs: For Didier Drogba, you need a total of 23 tokens. The striker will be very hard to get – you may miss only a single token if you want to have the Chelsea legend.
The Swap items only work for their respective Icon Swap selection. This means: If you earn a token in Icon Swap 1, you must exchange it in Icon Swap 1. In the second selection, it will no longer work.
All rewards at a glance: How many tokens do you need for which Icon? Here you will find all Icons in the list:
Schmeichel – 6 tokens
Okocha – 8 tokens
Guardiola – 8 tokens
Giggs – 9 tokens
Nesta – 9 tokens
Roberto Carlos – 11 tokens
Crespo – 12 tokens
Kluivert – 12 tokens
Klose – 12 tokens
Ballack – 14 tokens
Pirlo -14 tokens
Keane – 15 tokens
Rivaldo – 15 tokens
Wright – 16 tokens
Ferdinand – 16 tokens
Rui Costa – 17 tokens
Zanetti – 17 tokens
Sánchez – 17 tokens
Base Icon Pack – 18 tokens
Butragueno – 19 tokens
Gerrard – 19 tokens
Hagi – 20 tokens
Owen – 20 tokens
Drogba – 23 tokens
This is what the Icon Swap tasks look like
This is what the tasks look like: The tasks in the Icon Swap will be quite challenging. For example, you will have to score goals in FUT Champions – which already requires at least qualifying for the Weekend League.
Also, the First Owner Tasks will be used as announced by EA. These are objectives that can only be achieved with players you have owned as the first user. This means: Players that you have either pulled from
Objectives
Packs
Or SBCs.
Players from the transfer market, however, are not eligible. This makes completing the tasks more difficult because you cannot simply buy suitable players. Instead, you have to hope to pull strong players – and that takes a lot of luck.
For example, there are tasks where you must have seven first-owner players from a specific league in your team. With this team, you then must win a certain number of games. This is not necessarily high, but gathering the players will not be easy.
The community was already expecting that the tasks could be quite tough. Because the Gold Weekly Objectives, which currently exist as part of the season progress, are quite difficult. However, the rewards in the Icon Swaps are worth it.
In upcoming FIFA games, Bastian Schweinsteiger might be an option for an Icon card. Will there perhaps be a strong card for the World Champion in FIFA 20?
In Pokémon GO a Halloween event is expected this year as well. Is it starting soon? A tweet from Niantic suggests so.
This is what the tweet shows: Not many details are provided by the tweet from the official Pokémon GO account. Aside from a small ghost emoji and the message that October has begun and it is almost time to make things a bit spooky, Niantic has not revealed any further information.

When does Halloween start in Pokémon GO? The teaser can at least be seen as confirmation that another Halloween event will take place. But when exactly it will start is still unknown. Last year, the Halloween event started on October 23 and brought Giratina to the raids. This year it should likely start in late October as well. What could it bring?
This is what leaks say: Since Halloween traditionally revolves around spooky ghosts, these will likely be the focus of the event. Some ghost Pokémon from the 5th generation could come into play. According to leaks about the event, the following Pokémon could become important:
Quabbel and Apoquallyp
Makabaja and Echnatoll
Dark and Psychic Pokémon could also play a role. Additionally, dataminers have found hints of the return of the Pokémon Kryppuk.
Will Shiny-Kryppuk come?
It could bring a new special research task. Text files with the names “Quest Title Kryppuk 2019” or “A spooky message 2019” have been found by dataminers. Fans hope that the Shiny version of Kryppuk could also come – after all, many trainers have already caught Kryppuk.
When exactly the Halloween event starts is still unclear. Until then, you can pass the time in other ways – for example with EX-Raids at new gyms:
Today is Xur Day in Destiny 2. Where can you find Xur and what exotic items does he have on offer this time? Everything about Xur’s location and inventory on October 11, 2019.
What’s happening this week in Destiny 2? Guardians have a lot to do since the release of Shadowkeep. They need to master the Nightmare Hunts and conquer the new raid “Garden of Salvation.” Additionally, Guardians who succeed in the raid can earn the exotic trace rifle “Divinity.
There’s also new information about the first Iron Banner in Shadowkeep:
However, nothing is changing with Xur for now. He still arrives every Friday and brings his exotic goods.
All info about Xur on October 11, 2019 – PS4, PC, Xbox One
Does Xur have the exotic item you are still missing? Or perhaps he has armor pieces with really good stats? We’ll welcome the noodle face and take a look at his inventory together.
When does Xur appear?
This is Xur’s time: As usual, Xur appears today at 7:00 PM to offer his exotic goods to the Guardians.
He picks a nice spot and stays there until the next Weekly Reset on October 15. By then, you should have completed your shopping with the mysterious merchant.
Where is Xur? This is his location this weekend
Xur’s position: You can find Xur today at the Tower.

In Apex Legends there are numerous Easter eggs hidden, which players are likely to rarely see. These are specific animations that do not always appear or only under certain circumstances. One of them is likely to be very familiar to players.
This is the weapon: We are talking about the legendary rifle M1 Garand. The M1 Garand is likely known to many shooter fans who grew up with the early installments of Call of Duty. Fortnite has also taken the M1 Garand as a model.
The semi-automatic rifle is loaded from above with cartridges and has a unique, iconic sound when ejecting the cartridge.

In Apex Legends, the G7 Scout, a rifle with similar functionality, is sometimes reloaded in a way that resembles the M1 Garand.
The reload animation is apparently an Easter egg meant to remind players of the M1 Garand.
When does the animation appear? The special reload animation is not standard for the G7 Scout, whose magazine is actually inserted from below. However, some players are convinced that it is reloaded this way when the entire magazine has been fired.

If you fire the last round and let the game reload for you, this animation is supposedly triggered. This supports the connection to the M1 Garand, as its characteristic sound also only occurs with the last round.
Are there more of them?
There are more Easter eggs: In Apex Legends, there are more Easter eggs to be found that the developers have scattered. We have already highlighted two of them:
There are also more of these special animations: There are also more special animations than just the reload animation of the G7 Scout. Several other weapons and also legends have special movement patterns under certain circumstances:
The Peacekeeper is reloaded rotating when you are on a zipline
Mirage dances while he aims (iron sights/ADS)
Octane sometimes does “jazz hands” or balances with his syringe after injecting adrenaline
Wraith very rarely shows the “OK” sign after her tactical ability
For some of these Easter eggs, the YouTuber Sethly has made a short video:

Queen Azshara’s plans in WoW have always been quite obscure and unclear. Patch 8.3 finally provides clarity on what the Naga wanted.
Queen Azshara is a much-discussed character in World of Warcraft . Considered to be the most powerful sorceress on the planet, she is deemed wise and foresighted, albeit boastful and rather arrogant. Very little is known about her motives and actions in Patch 8.2, until she gets swallowed by N’Zoth’s darkness at the end. While it was known that Sylvanas had made a pact with Azshara, the implications of that remained unclear.
Patch 8.3 now provides some clarification, as Azshara has a new role.
Where does Azshara appear? In Patch 8.3, Azshara is part of the Raid Ny’alotha. However, she is not a boss but is currently held captive and tortured by the Dark Inquisitor Xanesh because she wanted to betray N’Zoth. The details of her plan are not immediately revealed. However, Azshara apparently discusses this after the boss battle is completed and she is freed.
What was Azshara’s plan? The colleagues at WoWhead have already extracted the sound data, including Azshara’s lines. After and during the fight, she has several lines. She says:
Free me! Only I have the means to defeat N’Zoth!
(Presumably directed at Furorion) Mind your words, whelpling. A queen keeps her promises.
Listen closely, for I will only say this once: Despite all his bluster, N’Zoth was always the weakest of his kind. But a remnant of their power still exists that can be used against him.
I would have driven this blade into his corrupted heart myself if you had not interfered with my plans. No matter. Xal’atath belongs to you, mortals.
Aim true. If your first strike misses, you will not live long enough to attempt another.
Now go and do as you wish. Intermediaries and heralds weary me. The true seat of power calls. And I intend to claim it for myself.

The naga queen evidently planned to free herself from her pact with N’Zoth and personally kill the Old God. As already speculated in many theories, the blade Xal’atath is an important key for this. The dagger is now “empty”, as the entity Xal’atath has been freed and wanders the cosmos. It is therefore likely that N’Zoth can be imprisoned in the blade.
What was the pact with Sylvanas? What exactly the naga queen negotiated with Azshara is still unclear. However, it is certain that Nathanos, on behalf of Sylvanas, brought the blade Xal’atath to Azshara. In doing so, he led traitors of the Horde and a large part of the Alliance fleet to their doom. It is possible that the pact merely contained this arrangement in the sense of “I will plunge the traitors and Alliance forces into death, you will bring me the dagger to defeat N’Zoth”.
However, there is another voiceline from Azshara that indicates new conflicts. This could also just be a flashback or a vision:
Treacherous banshee… do you think I am blind and do not see what darkness you wish to unleash?
Azshara’s and Sylvanas’ plan has a logical problem: However, with all these revelations, there is one thing that is hardly noticed. The blade Xal’atath did not come into Sylvanas’ hands “just like that”. It was heroes of the Horde who gave Sylvanas the blade. More importantly, N’Zoth himself ensured that the Horde found and took the blade in any case. After all, N’Zoth has lured the players into the Crucible of Storms multiple times, fully knowing what they would find there.
It is therefore quite possible that N’Zoth is pursuing a much more complex plan and has also foreseen that Xal’atath will ultimately end up back in the hands of the heroes.
Then it is also conceivable that N’Zoth does not die at the end of Patch 8.3, but only makes everyone believe so. After all, he is the master of madness and visions. It remains exciting.
What do you think of the story surrounding N’Zoth, Azshara, Sylvanas, and the heroes? Is it pretty cool or way too convoluted?
The ZDF has edited images related to the terrorist attack in Halle into a major, verified Twitch stream of DreamHack for CS:GO. This has caused outrage. A clip of the attack was broadcast on Twitch, but not on this channel. In the meantime, the ZDF has admitted a mistake and regrets it.
On Wednesday, a terrorist attack occurred in Halle. Two people lost their lives in the attack.
The perpetrator spread the attack via the streaming service Twitch. Live, 5 people are said to have followed the attack on Twitch. This information comes directly from Twitch via Twitter.

According to a statement from Twitch, approximately 2200 people viewed the recording of the attack before it was deleted. Twitch regrets this incident.
The clip itself is largely kept out of the public eye.
Image montage gives a completely false impression
What did the ZDF do? The ZDF used the Twitter channel of the news program Heuteplus as part of its reporting on the attack. A report on the attack was created and distributed there.
Images of the attacker were edited into the context of the Twitch stream of “DreamHack” for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. This channel “DreamHackCS” has over 1.5 million followers on Twitch.
The channel had absolutely nothing to do with the attack.
The ZDF’s tweet has since been deleted – but recordings are still circulating online. Via Twitter
Due to the montage, it appeared as if the rampage was broadcast live on this large, established Twitch channel. It seemed that 545 were watching.
The number 170,499,266 appears directly below the video.
For outsiders, it is unclear what this number means. It seems as though over 170 million people have already viewed this clip. The impression was created that this clip had spread like wildfire across the internet and Twitch.
On the Dreamhack channel, a replay of a CS:GO match between G2 ESports and Renegades was actually running. The clip is also still marked as such.
These are some reactions: The head of G2, Carlos “Ocelote” Rodriguez, is appalled by this montage by the ZDF. He considers it to be ill-intentioned. One must be truly foolish to do something like this.
He says: “Our lawyers are already on the case.”
Other figures from the eSports scene express criticism: The eSports caster Paul “Redeye” Chaloner called it “abominable.”
Even in the German-speaking part of reddit, the clip is viewed critically and colorfully commented on.

This is what the ZDF says: They acknowledged this mistake today on October 11. They state that they indeed edited this. They regret that this led to the impression that the livestream of the attack in Halle was aired on the Twitch channel of DreamHack. That was not the case.
They have now deleted the video.

In Borderlands 3, it is actually about looting and leveling up. Alternatively, one can also throw in a relaxed round of roller coasters – much to the delight of the players.
Where is there a roller coaster here? Anyone traveling in Borderlands 3 can offer their spirit of exploration plenty of room. The various planets are stuffed with Easter eggs that can be discovered – such as the Summit1g weapon or the Elon Musk flamethrower.
But the world itself also offers quite a bit to take a closer look at. Those who rush through the story might miss a lot. For example, a huge roller coaster in the Splinterlands on Pandora.
In the desert stands a roller coaster – just like that
Just enjoy the ride: A bit off the beaten path, apparently reddit user “__JinxY__” was on a journey. And he was directly rewarded: The “Children of the Vault” apparently also had time, in addition to all the chaos they were causing under the guidance of the Calypsos, to build a huge roller coaster in the desert.
However, you can only find it if you scour the map a bit. Apparently, there is no quest that directly leads to the roller coaster. Only the search for the Typhon Logs, which you can collect on each planet, can lead you on the trail to the amusement park.
Once you arrive, you can hop in the cart and take off. Along the way, you can also shoot a few targets that can earn you a loot chest. However, the roller coaster doesn’t seem to serve a greater purpose – and that is precisely what players find quite amusing on reddit.
How the roller coaster ride works, you can see in this video:

Players love the roller coaster: A large part of the comments under the post reveals that many players were previously unaware of this location. The roller coaster is not really hidden – just a bit off the main path.
The roller coaster proves to be very popular. “This little thing is so much fun and allows for great screenshots,” says user “PinkSquidz.” “We expected a side quest, but it’s really cool that they just placed it there for finding,” says “FlyingIrukandji.”.
Have you already found the roller coaster? Then you could start looking for rare enemies:
The Twitch streamer Scarra used the new champion Kai’Sa in a livestream about Teamfight Tactics. In eager anticipation, he then opens the DPS overview – and is bitterly disappointed by his new favorite.
That’s why the Twitch streamer Scarra also included the still very young champion in his team combo. At the end of a round, he looks forward to the DPS numbers of the champion. But they turn out to be smaller than expected.
His reaction has made it into a Twitch clip, which has landed near the top of the TFT reddit. He can’t quite grasp why his Kai’Sa disappointed him so much:

Why does Kai’Sa deal so little damage? Instead of the hoped-for 10,000 damage, which Scarra was actually looking forward to, Kai’Sa only managed 258.
This puts her far behind the other archers like Ashe (almost 6,000 damage) and Varus (2,332). The explanation is quite simple:
Although Kai’Sa’s attack speed was increased, her base damage is still extremely low.
On the enemy side, there were 4 Knights. These reduce all incoming damage by 35.
If Kai’Sa now deals less than 35 damage due to the armor of the enemy champions, that ultimately translates to no damage at all. And no matter how high the attack speed is, it won’t change that.
We show you how to start the hunt for the Exo Leviathan’s Breath on October 22 in Destiny 2, how to complete the exotic quest “Make bows, not war”and what the heavy exotic bow can do.
Bungie released a roadmap at the start of Shadowkeep, showing us the planned content for the current season. The map states that next week the first Iron Banner of the season starts. If we look further into the future, we see that an exotic quest will go live on October 22.
At the end of the quest line “Make bows, not war,” the exotic bow Leviathan’s Breath awaits the Guardians. To wield the weapon, players must complete numerous tasks and find the secret workshop of the gunsmith Banshee-44.
Details about the quest have become known through data mining. The quest is offered by the gunsmith Banshee in the Tower. The first step, the back entrance, leads you into the hangar.
Sir, the keys please: In the workshop, you will find the exotic bow in a display case. Unfortunately, the box is locked. Return to Banshee to complain. (Of course politely.)
Lockpicking for beginners: Collect data for a new key code by completing Gambit matches or Vanguard strikes. Gambit Prime matches and Nightfall strikes yield the best results.
Lockpicking for advanced: Now you need to land precise death blows against Vex or Cabal with a bow.
War Economy: Then you must complete a special version of the “Warlord” strike in the EDZ. The quest versions of the strikes typically have no player matchmaking and require a high power level.
Applied Cryptosecurity: Obtain the biometric data from Banshee-44 in the Tower.
Get the bow out: Return to Banshee’s workshop to retrieve the bow from the armory.
You can also see the exact process of the quest in this video guide by Nexxoss Gaming:

This is what the bow Leviathan’s Breath can do: The exotic deals Void damage and is the first bow to be carried in the power weapon slot.
In terms of stability and handling, the bow does not impress. However, it makes up for this with its high impact and precision.
The exotic abilities of Leviathan’s Breath are:
Large Game Hunter: Fires an extra heavy bolt that knocks unprotected fighters off balance. Strong against Unstoppable Champions.
Leviathan’s Sigh: When fully drawn, the bolt creates a large disruption explosion that pushes enemies back.
In memory of Emperor Calus: Leviathan’s Breath
Leviathan’s Breath was specifically designed for the dangers and tasks of the current season of the Undying, as it inherently has the ability to interrupt opponents.
The ability is particularly strong against the new champion enemies. These lurk in the harder activities such as the Trial by Fire or the Nightmare Hunts waiting for the Guardians. To fight these foes effectively, you will need the suitable mods from the seasonal artifact.
Similar, seasonally important properties are also found in the new exotic hand cannon Eriana’s Vow. It breaks through shields and barriers, even from the champions of darkness.
Are you as excited as a bowstring about the new Exo Leviathan’s Breath, or does a bow in the power slot leave you cold?
The indie game “Day of Dragons“ has exceeded its Kickstarter goal by more than 40 times. A possible reason for this is the game Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, which inadvertently supported the campaign. But the idea itself is also drawing attention.
How did the accidental support come about? On September 2, the survival game Day of Dragons launched its Kickstarter campaign. This started off quite calmly and had only set a target of $12,000.
On September 7, however, a new event began in the mobile game about Harry Potter called “Day of Dragons.” The Twitter user icotom suspects that the survival game may have benefited from being in the top position in Google search results.
He traces his speculation back to the fact that the campaign only really gained momentum after September 7, as the graphic below shows.

Throughout the month, Day of Dragons raised over $500,000, more than 40 times the original target.
Was it really just Harry Potter? While it’s possible that Harry Potter: Wizards Unite had an impact on the campaign’s final results.
However, alongside Harry Potter, there are also other factors that contributed to the success. This includes the very idea of the game.
The game’s idea draws attention, even from YouTubers
Where else did the campaign receive attention? YouTuber Anthomnia loves to engage with survival games. On September 13, he released a video that has since garnered almost a million views.
In it, he introduces Day of Dragons to his community in more detail and describes the game as extremely ambitious. He liked many ideas within it.

What is special about Day of Dragons? The new survival game aims to place great emphasis on a realistic world:
Dragons hatch from an egg and grow up over time.
They can move at different speeds.
They can sleep.
And finally, the dragons can also lay eggs.
When will the game be released? Day of Dragons is set to start its early access phase on November 21 on Steam. Then you can also try out the new survival game.
The MMORPG/RTS Kingdom Under Fire 2 has released a new cinematic trailer. It lasts just under two minutes, but is packed with scenes from the epic battles that await you.
This is shown in the trailer: Kingdom Under Fire 2 showcases scenes in the new trailer that depict both the MMORPG and real-time strategy aspects of the game. You can see how:
burning dragons annihilate hordes of enemies
huge cannons fire their rounds
undead skeleton mages cast dark spells
playable heroes showcase their skills

In the two minutes the game apparently packs in all the features that could make it epic and entice fans to play it. The trailer is really cool, but may come a bit too late.
Kingdom Under Fire 2 – 10 Years of Development
What is Kingdom Under Fire 2? Kingdom Under Fire 2 combines aspects of MMORPG and real-time strategy (RTS). You have the opportunity to play and level one of five unique heroes to improve your gear and experience adventures.
At the same time, you command troops and engage in tactical battles in the style of an RTS. You will likely have access to many of the units seen in the trailer, such as:
dragons
giant scorpions
mammoth-like monsters that are probably good for transport
This is the problem: Kingdom Under Fire is actually a popular franchise that celebrated great success upon its launch in 2001 and until 2008. After that, it somewhat declined, but Kingdom Under Fire 2 was supposed to be released in 2009.
This has now been in development for nearly 10 years and has had to overcome many hurdles. The time has not necessarily been kind to the game, as the graphics may seem a bit outdated for some players compared to today’s technology.
Nevertheless, there are some fans who are looking forward to Kingdom Under Fire 2. In the West, however, you will have to pay for it, even though the game is free in other countries:
In FIFA 20, you can complete various tasks for rewards in Ultimate Team. Among them: The first owner objectives.
The tasks usually are: Those working on the new season progress in FIFA 20 will have noticed that there are many different types of tasks. Depending on the difficulty level, the amount of XP and rewards you can earn varies.
Simple tasks include: “Win a match today.” An example of a difficult task: “Score two headed goals in Division Rivals with a player who has a physical rating of 82.”
These are first owner objectives: EA Sports has already provided insight into the tasks in the Pitch Notes. They were first introduced in FIFA 19. Among other things, they will be used again in the Icon Swaps event.
This is how the first owner objectives work in FIFA 20
This is how first owner objectives work: You can only complete first owner objectives with player items that no other FIFA player had before you.
This means: You cannot use players from the transfer market for the tasks. You either have to rely on your pack luck – which can be difficult – or use players that you have unlocked through SBCs or specific tasks.
You don’t need to remember whether you own a player as the first one. In the player bio, you will find the entry at the top right that provides insight into the first owner status.
This is why these objectives exist: Not being able to simply buy the right player for a task makes them significantly more challenging. After all, you first need to somehow get a suitable player – and that can take time. This makes it more justifiable to offer challenging rewards, such as Icons, than with simple tasks.
EA describes that they want to encourage players to build more “first owner squads,” instead of immediately throwing all players from packs onto the transfer market. This would lead to more variety in FUT. Additionally, this way you might come across genuine hidden gems that you might otherwise miss.
Will the tasks give much reason to celebrate?
This is how the community reacts: On reddit, players are skeptical about the tasks. The difficult Gold goals of the normal season progress have already discouraged some players, and there are fears that it will be similar with the Icons.
At the same time, many players believe that the objectives are primarily there to encourage the opening of more packs. However, the reactions to the announcement of the Icon Swap Event were rather positive – after all, it allows for earning Icons.
You can find all Icons in FIFA 20 here in the list:
PUBG can be downloaded and played for free. This is possible with PUBG Lite, a stripped-down version of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. We will show you everything you need to know about the Lite version.
What is special about PUBG Lite? With this Lite version of the battle royale, the developers primarily target those who own low-end PCs. For this, the minimum and recommended settings have been greatly reduced.
Another special feature is the absence of a purchase price. The Lite version is free and can be easily transferred to your home computer. So if you are still undecided about buying the game, you can use the Lite version to get a rough idea of the game.
What content is available in PUBG Lite?
This content is included: In the official announcement, the developers explained what you can expect when playing PUBG Lite.
You will find the following game modes in PUBG Lite:
Solo
Duo
Squad
All of these will be played in the TPP mode. Additionally, 4v4s are being tested, along with a training mode and custom matches.
Also new is the in-game currency, which differs from the main game. You can earn Chicken Medals, which can be exchanged for loot boxes. You receive the medals through daily login bonuses, challenges, the Lite Pass, weekend events, community events, and through crates purchased with BP.
Another currency is Silver Bullets. You earn these by dismantling skins. In the game, there is a Silver Bullet store where you can use this currency to buy items.
Battle Pass: You will find the so-called “Lite Pass” in the game, which is available in standard and premium versions. You will be rewarded for leveling up according to the usual principles. Rewards include vehicle and character skins, BP, Chicken Medals, experience points, and more.
Download PUBG Lite – Here’s where to download it
Download: On the official PUBG Lite website, you can download the PUBG launcher. Here is the link to lite.pubg.com
Start the download and then install the launcher on your PC
Log in now with your PUBG Lite account or create a new one

The download size is approximately 2.7 GB
If you feel like playing the “real” PUBG afterward, you can look forward to some changes:
With Google Stadia, you can stream modern games without having high-end hardware. Now, the Vice Engineer of Stadia speaks about latency and lag.
What does Stadia aim to achieve? Google Stadia is supposed to offer more power and performance in a few years than modern PCs or consoles do. This likely also refers to the new PlayStation 5 from Sony. This is what the Vice President of Engineering, Madj Bakar, from Google Stadia stated in an interview with Edge Magazine (via PCGamesn.com).
Bakar said:
“In one or two years, we will have games running in the cloud faster and having better response times than a local PC can – no matter how fast the local PC is.”
He also added that Google Stadia will arm itself against lags and latency issues with “negative latency”.
This is how Google Stadia intends to achieve this
What is Negative Latency? According to Bakar, Stadia calculates a possible latency and tries to mitigate potential lags: This can either mean increasing the FPS or reducing the latency between player input (keystroke) and display rendering.
Stadia therefore assumes lags where there are none and delivers more power to counteract possible lags.
This is why latency matters for Google Stadia: With Google Stadia, you stream your games. This means you:
receive game data for graphics, sounds, music, and more from the data center.
send your input commands to the server.
get data back for rendering on your screen.
Google Stadia promises that you can play on all devices, from smartphones to 4K TVs, as you stream the data from the servers to your device.
Here, the player receives all data via the cloud. Latency plays an even bigger role here than with a game that you start from the hard drive. Because the processing of the image data, which your graphics card normally does, is taken over by Google Stadia.
If you instead play an online game from the hard drive, only your input commands for character movement, aiming, and shooting are sent. Your screen and PC are responsible for rendering.
This is why low latency is important
This is what latency means: Latency refers to how quickly your inputs go to a server on the internet and then come back: For example, if you press a key on your PC in an MMO and move after pressing the key, that is the latency between you and the gaming server.
If you have a very high latency, it leads to lags. The delay between command and reaction in the game is then significantly noticeable to the player and can even be disruptive: You take a shot, but the shot only hits the target seconds later. Of course, you cannot hit a target like that anymore.
What does latency mean when streaming games?
This is how you should imagine streaming: The user Yogarine explains in a comprehensive Reddit post how latency looks in streaming. He describes himself as a “Network Engineer” with extensive experience, but he does not work for Google. He describes streaming as follows:
First, the device (PC, smartphone, etc.) sends the keystroke (input) to the server
Then the footage is compressed and
finally sent back to the display of the device used
The end device decompresses the image and can then display it to the user.
At the end, there is also the latency of the screen or device. The normal latency of a 60FPS screen can additionally be reduced by G-Sync (Nvidia) or FreeSync (AMD).
This is why Google needs to deliver
These are the problems: Google needs to provide stable latency with Stadia; otherwise, streaming games won’t be enjoyable, especially not when playing online with others. Especially in multiplayer, many developers, like the CEO of Larian Studios, see one of the great advantages of Google Stadia.
This is the biggest concern of gamers: Many players fear that Google Stadia will offer high latencies and poor connections, and that Google’s streaming hope will amount to nothing.
Our author Jürgen was allowed to try Google Stadia at Gamescom 2019. After his day at Gamescom 2019, he has some very own wishes and concerns about Google Stadia.
