Pokémon GO: New EX Raid Gyms are appearing – even in previously impossible locations

In Pokémon GO, trainers report on new EX Raid arenas. You can now participate in EX Raids in additional arenas.

This change is about: In Pokémon GO, noticeably more arenas now have the EX tag than before. EX Raids can now also take place in these arenas. There, you can currently challenge Mewtwo with Shadow Ball – provided you have a suitable invitation. Mewtwo is expected to remain in the EX Raids until mid-November.

This is how the EX Raid arenas have changed

What has changed: The new EX Raid update apparently addresses the fact that certain locations on the map were previously considered excluded from EX Raids. For example, parks that were surrounded by “closed highways” – which in the Open Street Map on which the map is based can also include simple footpaths. As thesilphroad reports, this has now been changed.

EX Raid tags are now more common

New places for EX Raids: Apparently, the EX Raid arenas are no longer limited to arenas located in parks or those that have specific sponsorship agreements. A reddit user in Berlin observed that many arenas within a mega nest received an EX Raid tag.

The reddit user “WoodWoseWulf“, who often clarifies OSM-related questions, found that nests and EX Raid gyms generally share similar map tags, although the nests were subject to fewer restrictions than the EX Raids. Since these restrictions, like the “highways”, have now been removed, it makes sense that the two features now resemble each other more strongly in terms of mapping.

Players are now reporting on reddit that they are seeing significantly more EX Raid arenas than before. In Charlottenburg, for instance, the EX Raid rate in the arenas is now apparently at 90%, says user “JackBlack1709“.

Will there be more map updates soon? At least on this island, they would probably be happy if there are some adjustments to the tags:

Fortnite: Alarm bei der Rakete – Live-Event rückt immer näher

In Fortnite, the live event marking the end of Season 10 is starting soon. At the rocket in Dusty Depot, a siren can now be heard. What could it mean?

What has happened? The countdown to the live event is running and showing only about 2 days 9 hours left. But now a siren sounds at the rocket in Dusty Depot. What could that mean?

Fortnite-Live-Event-Countdown-S10

Siren at the Rocket

What kind of siren is this? The alarm that has been audible since last night is likely a hint at the upcoming rocket launch. The rocket will probably play a significant role in the live event of Season 10.

Isn’t this siren familiar? Those who remember the live event of Season 4 will already know this siren. Back then, a rocket was built and launched by the Visitor. Before the rocket launched, this alarm could also be heard.

Fortnite-Visitor-02
The Visitor launched the rocket, which then brought the rift and the cube.

What does this siren sound like? The data miner FortTory posted a video on Twitter where you can clearly hear the alarm.

Of course, you can listen to the siren yourself when you start a game and are near the rocket.

Live Event – When is it happening?

When does the live event start? The event will take place on October 13 at 8:00 PM. Season 10 will also end then, along with the overtime challenges.

You can still see why our author Eilyn expects a huge live event marking the end of Season 10.

Fortnite Live-Event Meinung S10 Titel

Does anyone know what will happen after the event? It is not yet known what will happen exactly after the live event. Some speculate that a downtime will start immediately to upload Season 11.

However, a new season has always started on a Thursday. This time it would be on a Sunday. Therefore, the future of Fortnite remains quite unclear, and it will be a big surprise.

The Horde of WoW loses another leader in patch 8.3

The Horde in World of Warcraft is currently not doing well. After Sylvanas, it is now losing another leader in Patch 8.3.

With the cinematic for the conclusion of Patch 8.2.5, a time of change has begun for the Horde in World of Warcraft. Apparently, there will no longer be a Warchief, instead, they plan to establish a council of the Horde races, which will then decide together on future plans and steps. However, a certain leader, aside from Sylvanas, has disappeared in Patch 8.3: the Goblin chief Gallywix.

Where has Gallywix gone? In Patch 8.3, it becomes clear that Gallywix has also fled after Sylvanas’ disappearance. He escaped the city along with the rest of “Sylvanas’ inner circle”. Where exactly he is headed is not known.

What is said? The short dialogue that takes place between Thrall and Gazlowe goes as follows. We have translated it from English:

Thrall: Gallywix left the city along with Sylvanas’ inner circle. This leaves the Bilgewater cartel without a trade prince. Gazlowe, it was your cleverness and ingenuity that built the walls of Orgrimmar. I can’t think of anyone I would trust more to take over as leader.

Gazlowe: A cartel is not a clan or tribe, Thrall. Steam pressure, Bilgewater… it doesn’t matter who delivers the money – as long as the payment is good. “Under new management” is just another way of saying “A good opportunity.” So, sure… we have a deal!

Thrall: Can you be sure that none of the goblins here are still being paid by Gallywix?

Gazlowe: Oh, I can even guarantee you that they still will be. That’s exactly why I will pay them more than that miser!

Gallywix played an important role: Gallywix was the first leader to come into contact with Azerite, long before Sargeras drove his sword into Azeroth.

Only through him was it possible to shape Azerite into weapons so quickly and draw attention to this new resource. Where he has now fled to, what his plan is, and whether we will see him again in the near future remains to be seen.

All information about Patch 8.3 Visions of N’Zoth can be found in our overview.

Do you think it’s good that Gazlowe is taking on the job as trade prince and will lead the goblins from now on? Or did you always like Gallywix?

Borderlands 3: Another strange glitch, players deal one-hits

Borderlands 3 offers all kinds of challenges. A player has found a trick to make your life easier. He describes a glitch that allows you to one-hit everything.

In Borderlands 3, with the right build, you can deal massive damage. The Beastmaster FL4K or the Gunner Moze can deal so much damage that it almost feels like a one-hit. With one of Moze’s playstyles, a kill with one hit can actually happen.

The YouTuber Osterberg501 has now found a glitch that allows you, when playing Moze, to distribute guaranteed one-hits with minimal effort.

Borderlands-3-Moze
The Gunner Moze

Through enemies like butter

Incredibly high damage: In the video, you can see how Osterberg501 shoots through the world and even bosses. They also lay in the dirt after one, maybe two shots. And the legendary weapons are lying beside them. Staggering damage numbers in the millions fly around the enemies.

Self-harm is necessary: The YouTuber needs a specific shield and a class mod for his success. These provide him with more damage when his shield is depleted, with a higher regeneration and certain skills. Then he stands in an electric fence – you heard that right.

If you want to know more about the glitch, you can find it here in the video:

Especially in tough challenges like the anointed enemies, a one-hit can be very helpful. But where is the fun in that? Also, you can only use the glitch with a specific character. We should also be curious about the impact of the hotfix and Moze’s nerf on the situation.

Borderlands 3 is full of such glitches, and with one you can make a fortune:

Monster Hunter World: New Ape Rajang rips even the strongest monsters to pieces

The new monster Rajang has been wreaking havoc since October 10 in Monster Hunter World: Iceborne. And not even the strongest beasts are safe from him.

Who is Rajang? Rajang, one of the fans’ favorite monsters, came with the latest free update to Monster Hunter World: Iceborne and immediately showed in his intro cinematic that he is not to be trifled with.

The new monster is a brutal and aggressive beast with high physical strength and speed. He can also shoot lightning bolts and projectiles from his mouth in his rage mode.

This is what territory battles with Rajang look like: In his intro cinematic, he breaks off Kirin, an Elder Dragon and one of the strongest monsters in MHW, its horn and eats it right before our eyes. This demonstrates his massive strength. The brutality of Rajang’s territory battles can easily compare to any other monster in Monster Hunter World.

But even outside the cinematic, he successfully confronts Kirin. You only need to listen to the cracking of bones in the video.

The Thunder Pony is truly not to be envied. However, Kirin is not the only Elder Dragon that Rajang fights. The Elder Velkhana, which came with the Iceborne expansion to MHW, also gets its share of hits from the monkey. And here too, Rajang manages to bring his opponent to the ground.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9LgvuGs948

Rajang also likes to take on one of the champions of territory battles and one of the most brutal monsters in the game: Deviljho. Jho may not be an Elder Dragon, but upon his arrival in the New World, he also caused spectacular fights.

In battles against other monsters, Jho likes to use his trusty suplex attack, which allows him to easily lift beasts like Diablos into the air. However, it doesn’t work as well with Rajang as it does with other monsters.

If you encounter Rajang on your hunting trips, try to lure him to another monster and pit them against each other. Big cinematic action is guaranteed.

This is what you get from Rajang: If you belong to the people who have successfully withstood Rajang’s beatings, then rewards await you. With the materials, you can for example craft his Alpha+ armor. It has the following stats:

  • Head: Weakness Advantage 2, Crafting 2
  • Chest: Fury 2, Quick Sharpening 2
  • Armguards: Fury 1, Crafting 2
  • Waist: Weakness Advantage 1, Crafting 1
  • Legs: Fury 2, Attack Boost 2
  • Set bonus with 2 pieces: Rajang’s Rage 2, grants the skill “Inner Eye / Ballistics” (prevents attacks from bouncing off. Reduces the distance before ammunition and arrows reach maximum power)
  • Set bonus with 4 pieces: Rajang’s Rage 4, grants the skill “Protection Polish” (weapon sharpness does not decrease for a certain time after sharpening)

The “Beta+” armor has slightly fewer abilities, but more space for decorations.

Have you fought against Rajang already? What did you think of the monkey?

FIFA 20: SBC is currently distributing a ridiculously cheap Mega Pack – Don’t miss it

In FIFA 20 there is currently an SBC with which you can get a Mega Pack in just a few minutes. And that for a really good price.

This is the SBC: Currently, you can complete the “VOLTA FOOTBALL” SBC in FIFA 20. This SBC inspired by the VOLTA mode rewards you with a Mega Pack, but it only runs for two more days. The Mega Pack is one of the best packs in FIFA 20 and is correspondingly expensive at 35,000 coins.

However, with the VOLTA SBC, you can get the Mega Pack for an extremely low price. And if you have the right cards – which is quite likely at this point in the game – you might not have to pay anything for the Mega Pack.

FIFA 20 Mega-Pack
You can pull really strong players from Mega Packs with luck

What you need for the VOLTA SBC and a cheap Mega Pack

How to complete the SBC: To complete the VOLTA SBC, you must meet the following requirements:

  • 10 Gold players
  • At least 3 rare players
  • No more than 3 players from the same club
  • No more than 5 players with the same nationality
  • Team Chemistry: At least 75

Additionally, a player placeholder from England is required in the CAM position.

FIFA 20 Volta SBC
This is what the VOLTA SBC looks like

But you can basically ignore that, because you can achieve team chemistry even if you fill the remaining positions with Gold players from two different leagues.

These players don’t even have to be particularly strong, as there is no minimum team rating required. You just need to pay attention to the chemistry. However, if you use, for example, five Bundesliga and five Serie A players in the SBC, you should solve it quickly.

Just take a look at which untradeable players you currently have in your club. Thanks to the many reward packs from the first FIFA weeks, you should have some players in your club that you haven’t used yet. They are ideal for this SBC.

The VOLTA SBC can be completed quickly

Community excited: On reddit and futbin, the SBC is extremely well received. “There should be more SBCs like this,” says user “breakinb“. “SenorMasquerader” says: “You should definitely do this SBC, even if you don’t normally complete any.”

Because: You can get really good cards from the Mega Pack. Also, even if it is usually unlikely to pull good cards: For the nearly 5,000 coins that the SBC costs at most, you can’t go wrong with a Mega Pack.

You will definitely get the price back. And some players get really strong cards from the SBC. Maybe you will also be lucky and significantly improve your coin balance with a rare player.

Have you already put your team together? Then find out here how to set it up best:

Pokémon GO: Soon you will be able to approve PokéStop suggestions without Ingress

The Wayfarer tool will be one of the most important innovations for players of Pokémon GO. This tool allows you to review PokéStop suggestions. Completely without Ingress.

What was announced? The developers of Pokémon GO introduce Niantic Wayfarer. With this, you can help shape future adventures in Pokémon GO and other titles from Niantic like Ingress or Harry Potter: Wizards Unite. The tool is meant to examine and approve or reject submissions of interesting places.

In plain language, this means: If you suggest stops or gyms for Pokémon GO in the future, they do not have to be verified by Ingress players as before. Pokémon GO players can do this as well.

Since June 2019, you can submit PokéStop suggestions in Germany without Ingress.

What happens to OPR? Wayfarer originated in “Operation Portal Recon”, which was originally developed for Ingress players so they could submit and verify new portals.

With Wayfarer, a part of the Niantic player base will have the opportunity to review nominations for interesting places like museums, art or historical sites and approve them. These will then become PokéStops, gyms or portals.

Niantic explains why PokéStops are not accepted.

Pokémon GO PokéStops

When will the feature come? There is currently no exact release date for Niantic Wayfarer for Pokémon GO players. However, the developers state on the blog that the feature will be available before the New Year for selected Pokémon GO players. Currently, Ingress agents of level 10 and above can log in there. What requirements the trainers must meet to be “selected” is still unclear.

Here is the website for Niantic Wayfarer

Why is Wayfarer important?

The process will be easier: For many players, it was previously a hassle to first create an Ingress account, then level it up to finally be able to view and edit suggestions for stops and gyms.

Additionally, many Pokémon GO players did not understand why players from another game should check their suggestions. Due to the popularity of Pokémon GO, many more suggestions emerged that Ingress players were supposed to edit.

New interface: A new interface is supposed to simplify the handling of suggestions. A player on Reddit already showed what Wayfarer looks like:

In addition, Niantic now uses the term “Wayspot” instead of Portal. This creates a uniform term that can be applied to every product from Niantic.

The PS4 has been the strongest platform for Destiny 2 for a long time – that is now over

Destiny 2 has been extremely strong on consoles so far. It was one of the most successful games of 2017. However, with the switch to Steam and a free-to-play version, numbers on PC are now rising.

How is Destiny 2 doing? Currently, Destiny 2 is on a success path thanks to Shadowkeep and the successful Steam release. This also affects the distribution of players across platforms.

Currently, the PC is the largest platform for Destiny 2, although consoles dominated in the past. The distribution on October 11, according to the analysis site Chalemagne, which is operated by fans, is as follows:

  • 44% of all Destiny 2 players use the computer
  • The PS4 is used by 31% of all players.
  • The Xbox One ranks third with 25% of all players.

What do the old numbers say? In the archive of the same website, we also find the numbers from July 12, 2019. Just under three months ago, consoles still dominated:

  • 46% of all Destiny players used the PS4.
  • 32% used the Xbox One.
  • The PC lagged far behind with 22%, as Destiny 2 was still available on BattleNet at that time.

Steam release and Shadowkeep lead to many PC players

Where are the new PC players coming from? On October 1, Destiny 2 was released on the Steam platform. It was immediately well received and reached a peak of 292,314 concurrent players. Thus, the loot shooter has only the long-standing titles CS:GO, PUBG, and Dota 2 ahead of it.

Moreover, the PC now benefits from cross-save, allowing players to transfer their game data from consoles. On PC, Destiny 2 has some advantages compared to consoles, including:

  • No FPS lock
  • Wider field of view and support for 21:9 monitors
  • More customizable graphics settings

Lastly, the shift of the base game to free-to-play and the release of the new expansion Shadowkeep also helped make Destiny 2 so successful right now, with consoles benefiting from these changes as well.

How are the player numbers overall for Destiny 2? As reported by PCGamesN, on October 8, 2019, a total of 2.38 million people played Destiny 2. The distribution was as follows:

  • 743,000 on PS4
  • 600,000 on Xbox One
  • and around 1,000,000 on PC

On June 16, 2019, around the announcement of Shadowkeep, only about 1.01 million played Destiny 2. Both numbers refer back to a Discord bot, which is also operated by the Charlemagne site.

Overall player numbers also show that Destiny 2 is currently doing well, despite the separation from Activision in early 2019.

It looks like there will soon be a lot more Death Knights in WoW

An update for Patch 8.3 in WoW has caught the attention of Death Knight fans. It seems that soon all races may be able to join the Lich King.

Those looking at the allied races of World of Warcraft will notice that only two classes are available to them. None of the allied races can become Demon Hunters, which is based on the lore of the Demon Hunters.

However, Death Knights are also excluded because the allied races historically only became involved in the world events long after the Lich King. At least that last aspect may change now. Will all allied races soon be able to play Death Knights?

This was found: A new version of Patch 8.3 on the PTR contained some game data that data miners immediately investigated. Included are textures for Death Knights of all allied races, including the Pandaren from Mists of Pandaria. It seems that Blizzard will soon allow the other races to become Death Knights as well.

There are story-related problems: One problem that Blizzard might face is the logic of the story. After all, many allied races only came into the game after Arthas was long defeated. Logically speaking, it is therefore not possible for at least some of these races to have the Archerus as a starting area and serve under the Lich King Arthas.

A reasonable alternative would be that these are “fresh” Death Knights who were recently called into undeath. Then, the current Lich King Bolvar Fordragon would be responsible for that.

You can find many more details about Patch 8.3 Visions of N’Zoth in our extensive overview.

Further hints point to a new intro: In addition to the textures, a still encrypted map of Icecrown was also found. It is conceivable that the Death Knights of the allied races will start in Icecrown and have only a very short introductory quest before being released into the world.

Some fans speculate that this will only be relevant in the upcoming expansion and Patch 9.0. After all, many leaks and theories suggest that the Lich King Bolvar Fordragon will play a larger role in the near future, especially considering that his daughter Taelia Fordragon was introduced in Battle for Azeroth and has only recently learned of her father’s fate.

Please keep in mind that the information so far is based on datamining and it has not yet been confirmed that Death Knights will come for all allied races.

Would you want to play Death Knight Pandaren, Lightforged, or Vulpera? Or which race would be your choice?

How the Iron Banner of Destiny 2 changes with the new Season 8

Soon, the first Iron Banner of the new Season 8 – the Season of the Immortals – will start in Destiny 2. There are new gear to earn and some changes compared to the previous season. Particularly, the grind will be reduced.

When does the first Iron Banner of Season 8 start? As Bungie announced in its weekly blog post, the new Iron Banner event will kick off next week, on October 15th at 7 PM. It will end on October 22nd at 7 PM, exactly one week later. The mode played will be Control.

Will there be a Valor bonus? Yes! Bungie has not revealed the exact details, but based on previous events, there will likely be double Valor points until Friday and then triple Valor points thereafter. So, it’s the perfect time to farm the Redrix Claymore!

Will there be new armor to earn? Yes, with the new armor set “Iron Will”, Guardians can earn new gear:

destiny-eisenbanner-ruestung

These changes will the new Iron Banner bring: Too monotonous, grind-heavy, and boring. The Iron Banner of the last Season 7 was criticized by the community. Based on this criticism, Bungie has made the following changes:

  • There is a new seasonal quest that you must complete before you can purchase token packages from Lord Saladin
    • This quest is character-based and rewards you with the Iron Will armor set
    • Each step of these challenges rewards either weapons or armor
    • The progress of these challenges counts for the entire Season 8
  • Until the seasonal quest is completed, you will only receive Iron Banner rewards after completing Iron Banner matches
    • Until the quest is completed, you will exclusively receive weapons as rewards
    • The existing seven bounties have been adjusted to yield rewards up to a maximum power level of 950. However, you can only complete a maximum of four of these bounties per event.

Bungie is also investigating a possible bug that could allow players to complete more than the four intended bounties.

What tasks are involved in the seasonal quest? On the page light.gg, the challenges for the seasonal quest can already be viewed:

destiny-2-eisenbanner-aufgaben

You must land the final hit on an opponent with various weapons and, in addition, capture zones, complete matches, and defeat opponents with each quest step. Overall, the tasks will likely be easier to manage than in the past season.

What’s going on with the changes to heavy ammunition? Last week, Bungie made changes to the spawns of heavy ammunition. In Control mode, players will now have the opportunity to obtain heavy ammunition every 2 minutes after the first drop, starting at 45 seconds. Previously, this was possible after one minute.

destiny-2-eisenbanner

However, this change has not yet been implemented in the Iron Banner. You will find heavy ammunition more frequently than in the standard Control mode.

What do you think of the changes in the Iron Banner and the new armor set? Will you be participating next week?

The Division 2: This is how the new Support specialization works – The Technician

The Division 2 gives agents a fifth specialization at the launch of Title Update 6 on October 15. We show you what the “Technician” can do and what strengths the new rocket launcher class brings.

What are specializations in The Division 2? The loot shooter The Division 2 aims not only to shine with a wide variety of weapons and gear but also to support agents’ play styles through RPG elements.

By unlocking the endgame content at level 30, players also gain access to specializations. Each of the currently four specializations comes with its own “super weapon” and a skill tree that holds additional passive and active abilities.

Division-2-Operation-Zero

Currently, there are the following specializations:

The Technician is a high-tech support class

So what can the “Technician” do? The new support class has been referred to by the developers as the new “Shaman” in Division 2. Its abilities are designed to enhance friendly devices and teammates while holding back or directly eliminating enemy units.

Equipped with these tools:

  • Multi-target rocket launcher P-017
  • Artificer Hive
  • EMP grenade
  • Sidearm Maxim 9

How does the rocket launcher work? The new rocket launcher will particularly appeal to the pyro technicians among the agents. The tubes hold six rockets, and the multi-target system allows targeting up to six targets before the rocket launcher sends its devastating projectiles on their way.

Link to the YouTube content

In the “State of the Game” from October 9, at 25:50, you can see how the Technician targets enemies one by one and fires the rockets at high speed towards the enemies.

The individual impacts do not offer the damage of the explosive projectiles of the other specializations, but weaker enemy groups can be annihilated with a salvo of rockets.

The targeting system requires only fractions of a second to lock on to enemies, and the exploding rockets also cause area damage on impact.

The Drone Hive runs constantly

What does the “Artificer Hive” do? The new “Drone Hive” buffs the skills of friendly agents but also the technician’s own devices. The “Hive” comes with a helpful feature that hasn’t been in Division 2 before – the skill buff activates for the technician’s skills even when the “Hive” is hanging on the belt.

This means the second skill, in addition to the “Artificer Hive”, is always enhanced as long as the “Drone Hive” has a charge ready, even if the skill is not activated.

Screenshot of agent VukasinDordevic with the new Artificer Drone Hive

This is what the skill buff brings:

  • More damage
  • More healing
  • Repair
  • Duration is extended

What does the skill tree look like? “The Technician” is a real skill booster. Almost all of his passive talents from the skill tree strengthen skills or improve the use of skills.

The skill tree of the Technician

These are the skills at maximum level:

  • Amped
    • +50% skill strength
  • Rocket launcher skills
    • Destroying enemy devices grants armor for the group.
  • Repair kit skill
    • Kit also counts for friendly devices within 10 meters.
  • Maxim 9
    • Sidearm with built-in silencer
  • Faraday Field
    • The Technician’s devices grant protection from shock and EMP within proximity (5 meters).
  • Choice of two passive skill abilities
    • Either +10% skill damage or healing
  • Vital Protection
    • +50% impulse immunity
  • Technomancy
    • Equipping a skill grants +15% bonus armor.
    • If a skill is halted, 20% armor is repaired.
  • Dismantling
    • +20% damage to drones, robots, and skill helpers

The strength lies in the group

How is the “Technician” best employed? The strength of the Technician lies in supporting a group that relies heavily on skills. The technical specialist himself should also use a skill build to get the most out of the talents.

He prefers to fight from the second line while enhancing friendly devices with his skills. It is up to you whether you want to deal more damage with your own skills or take over the healing of the team.

The multi-target rocket launcher P-017

The rocket launcher helps in situations of enemy superiority. Before a group of bloodthirsty bandits overruns your position, a few targeted rockets surprise the enemy mob and take down weaker enemies. For the stronger foes, a team member surely has some more effective projectiles handy, where the rocket launcher is less helpful.

Against the mercenary group “Black Tusk”, the class plays all its trump cards. With a Technician on the team, the highly technological enemies can hardly rely on their expensive equipment, losing a lot of effectiveness as a result. A good “Technician” should make the sometimes tough invasion missions a bit more pleasant.

Does Title Update 6 offer any other highlights? TU6 will be released simultaneously for all Division 2 players on October 15. The update will significantly change the players’ builds and brings new mechanics and many balance adjustments to the game.

In particular, the “Named Items” have great potential to help improve the rewards system, but also the new loot targeting sounds promising.

What do you think of the new high-tech supporter?

Teamfight Tactics: These 2 combos benefit from patch 9.20 – are now very strong

On October 9th, the new patch 9.20 was released in Teamfight Tactics and has significantly shaken up the meta despite minor changes. We will reveal two combos that are currently on the rise.

Update December 2019: The guide refers to the state of patch 9.20 and still includes old champions. You can find a guide to the current TFT meta here with us.

What has patch 9.20 changed in the meta? The new update has made a significant nerf to beasts and assassins. As a result, the previously strongest combo from patch 9.19 has dropped significantly in the tier list.

The knights were also slightly weakened, so a combo of 6 knights and 4 imperials is still strong, but no longer overpowered. Additionally, it is extremely hard to achieve.

LoL-Draven-Titel

Which builds are climbing up? Patch 9.20 has given the guardians a slight buff. This is enough to consider them as a replacement for two knights. This leads to a new combo of dragons, guardians, and knights.

Furthermore, due to the removal of the wilds and the Item Gloves from patch 9.19, there is a combo of elemental mages, yordles, and sorcerers that is currently making a comeback. Both builds can be found at the top of reddit .

Combo 1 – Dragons, Guardians, Knights

Kayle from League of Legends

What does the combo focus on? This combo takes advantage of the fact that six knights have been weakened while guardians have received a buff. It also utilizes the synergy of dragons to be strong against magic damage.

These champions are used:

  • Garen – Noble/Knight
  • Kayle – Noble/Knight
  • Mordekaiser – Phantom/Knight
  • Sejuani – Ice Beast/Knight
  • Shyvanna – Dragon/Shapeshifter
  • Pantheon – Dragon/Guardian
  • Leona – Noble/Guardian
  • Aurelion Sol – Dragon/Sorcerer

These synergies does the combo have:

  • 2x Guardian
  • 2x Dragon
  • 4x Knight
  • 3x Noble

Carry of the team:

  • Shyvanna – Guardian Angel, Guinsoo’s Rageblade, Warmog’s Armor
  • Aurelion Sol – Rabadon’s Deathcap, Morellonomicon, Hextech Gunblade
  • Garen – Warmog’s Armor, Dragon Claw

What makes this combo so strong? This combo is partly even more defensive than the six knights since it brings a lot of armor and includes three champions that are resistant to magic damage.

For good damage, you have Shyvanna and Aurelion Sol as carries, which are usually sufficient to defeat the opponents.

Which champions do I buy early in the game? At the start, you take Poppy as a substitute for Kayle. The champion Braum can temporarily replace Pantheon. Thanks to Aurelion Sol, you still have the dragon buff.

Make sure to quickly get the knights Garen and Mordekaiser and bring them to level 2 or 3. Theoretically, you can also use Darius instead of Mordekaiser as the fourth knight.

Variation with three Sorcerers: If you happen to find a spatula, you can slightly vary the build to get three sorcerers with Yuumi.

To do this, give the item to Pantheon and replace Shyvanna with Karthus. This way, you’ll additionally reach 3 sorcerers and 2 phantoms.

Combo 2 – Elemental Mages, Yordle, Sorcerer

Kennen LoL TFT Champions

What does the combo focus on? The combo primarily utilizes Lissandra, who is equipped with many items, and Kennen. Both deal heavy AoE damage.

Additionally, it makes use of the Yordle buff so that all champions survive longer. A spatula is essential for Lissandra to become the sixth Yordle. Make sure to get this item in the first carousel rounds and if necessary, lose initially for it.

These champions are used:

  • Lissandra – Ice Beast/Elemental Mage + Yordle with Item Gloves
  • Kennen – Yordle/Elemental Mage
  • Veigar – Yordle/Sorcerer
  • Lulu – Yordle/Sorcerer
  • Gnar – Yordle/Wild
  • Poppy – Yordle/Knight
  • Morgana – Demon/Sorcerer
  • Brand – Demon/Elemental Mage or Anivia – Ice Beast/Elemental Mage
  • (Optional Level 9: Another Knight)

These synergies does the combo have:

  • 3x Elemental Mage
  • 6x Yordle
  • 3x Sorcerer
  • 2x Demon or 2x Ice Beast depending on champion
  • (Optional 2x Knight)

Carry of the team:

  • Lissandra – Morellonomicon, Guardian Angel, Gloves
  • Kennen – Morellonomicon, Guardian Angel, Hextech Gunblade

What makes this combo so strong? Yordle champions have a high dodge chance in this combo, which was previously negated by the wilds. Since the wilds have disappeared, this combo is strong again.

It also has two good tanks with Poppy and the golem of elemental mages. Elemental mages also benefit from the three sorcerers with their skills, and there is a small synergy between demons/ice beasts.

Which champions do I buy early in the game? You can start by buying knights and later switch to this combo. These also harmonize well with Poppy. Until you find Gnar, Tristana will also do in the team.

FL4K and Amara are getting their power back in Borderlands 3, Moze is getting a nerf

Borderlands 3 has released a new hotfix for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. This time, all four Vault Hunters are being adjusted: Moze, FL4K, Amara, and Zane. There are buffs, nerfs, and some bug fixes.

What’s included in the update: The highlights of the new hotfix are probably the buffs and nerfs for all Vault Hunters . However, there is more in the new update:

The changes are intended to improve balance and fix bugs that have crept in over time.

New hotfix for Borderlands 3 – detailed changes

Changes to Amara: Amara receives a significant buff and a change that is essentially a bug fix:

  • “Momentum” now grants you a bonus to reload speed per rank.
  • “Phasegrasp” can now be applied to more distant targets and resets the cooldown instantly if the ability misses.
borderlands 3 amara header

According to Gearbox, this should encourage players to try out more weapons with Amara than just submachine guns and shotguns.

Changes to FL4K: In the last update, a cooldown of 2 seconds was added to FL4K’s ability “Leave No Trace.” This caused frustration for some players and categorized the ability as “unplayable.”

According to the developers, such a long cooldown was not intended. It has now been reduced to 0.3 seconds.

More on the topic

von Max Handwerk

Changes to Moze: Moze is receiving more extensive adjustments. After the last patch only addressed her ability to throw endless grenades, it’s now time to adjust one of her most popular builds – the “One-Shot” build:

  • The “Bloodletter” modifications necessary for the build have been adjusted
    • The delay for the charge has been increased by 150%.
    • The charge rate has been reduced by 50%.
  • “Bridge the Gap” now adds shock damage as intended.
  • “Devastator” now has an inherent cooldown of 0.3 seconds (previously 2 seconds).

With these adjustments, the “One-Shot” build should now be significantly harder to play. However, her ability to throw endless grenades is back in the game. This issue will be addressed again at a later time.

Changes to Zane: There are several changes for Zane, but they primarily correct abilities that were previously faulty:

  • “Death is Everywhere” should now correctly affect the corresponding kill skills.
  • When Zane swaps positions with his Digi-Clone, the damage is now increased by 130% (previously 75%).
Borderlands 3

Many of Zane’s bugs that currently make him weaker than the other Vault Hunters have not yet been addressed. Whether this bug fix helps remains to be seen.

Other changes: In addition to changes to the Vault Hunters, some weapons have been modified. Some weapons now deal more damage:

  • The Lob
  • Creeping Death
  • Carrier
  • Gunerang

The full list of changes in English can be found in the Borderlands 3 forum.

Fortnite: How to unlock the special white skin of the scientist

In Fortnite, you can now unlock a special skin variant of the Scientist. We will show you how it works.

What kind of skin is this? The Scientist is the secret legendary skin in Season 10. He has returned as an enhanced version of the Visitor. He is likely to play a role in the live event, as he is building the rocket at Dusty Depot.

This is the Scientist:

Fortnite-Wissenschaftler-Skin

Which version of the Scientist is this? Now you can unlock the white version of the Visitor by completing the overtime challenges. The suit will then be completely white, while the rest remains the same. The data miner ShiinaBR shows the new skin variant.

This is what the new variant looks like:

How to get the white skin variant of the Scientist

What do you need to do? To unlock the new variant, you first need to collect the recordings of the Visitor. You can find the locations of the tapes in these guides:

Note: Only once you have collected all the tapes can you move on to the next step. Before starting a new match, you must equip the Scientist skin.

Play recordings at Dusty Depot: After you have collected all the recordings, you need to start a new match (with the Scientist skin) and land at Dusty Depot. There, you go to the Scientist’s large computer. It is located in the building where the rocket is being built. Once you are in front of it, you can interact with the computer.

Fortnite-Mech-Virus

The computer will then play the recordings to you in the correct order. If you follow the story of Fortnite, you should listen carefully to uncover more clues.

Once you have listened to the recordings, the white skin variant of the Scientist should be unlocked. It will then be waiting for you in your locker.

What do you think of this variant of the Scientist? Do you like it better?

Pokémon GO: Community Day in October with Snivy – All Information

This Saturday, October 12th, the Community Day featuring Knacklion will take place in Pokémon GO. We will provide information on start time, Shinies, the exclusive move, and tell you how to make the most of it.

What is the Community Day? This is a monthly event centered around a specific Pokémon. This Pokémon spawns more frequently in the wild and can also appear as a Shiny. Additional bonuses enhance the event.

In October, it’s all about the Ground-type Pokémon Knacklion. You will find it spawning more frequently for 3 hours.

All info for the Community Day in September – Start time and bonuses

What: The Pokémon GO Community Day in October 2019
When: On Saturday, October 12th, from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM local time
Pokémon of the Day: Knacklion
Exclusive Move: Earth Power (exclusive for Libelldra)
Bonus: Triple amount of experience points for catching Pokémon
Bonus: During the Community Day, Knacklion will hatch from 2 km eggs and appear in raids
Bonus: 3-hour incense
Additional Bonus: To learn the exclusive move Earth Power, you can evolve Vibrava until 4:00 PM
Knacklion

This is important regarding the times: While the Community Day took place in the afternoon during the summer, it has been back to the morning since September. The bonuses are available from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM local time.

How to make the best out of the Community Day

Focus should be on: This time, there are again triple XP for catching Pokémon, so you might reach a new level here.

Each Pokémon can yield around 1000 XP with the right throw and a lucky egg. If you’re also leveling up friendships at the same time, a lucky egg is definitely worthwhile.

In addition to experience points, you can also gather a lot of Stardust during the Community Day because the spawns are increased. So also use a star piece to maximize your dust collection.

Stardust
Stardust can also be gathered well during the Community Day

How to catch many Pokémon: Especially on Community Day, the catching trick is very useful. This allows you to skip annoying animations and save a lot of time.

Shiny Knacklion, Vibrava, and Libelldra

Is there a Shiny Knacklion? As usual on a Community Day, this time the event Pokémon is also available as a Shiny. Knacklion is teal and easily recognizable.

Shiny Knacklion

What is the Shiny chance? Within the 3 hours, the Shiny chance for Knacklion is increased. It is at 1 in 25. So if you play actively, you can catch many Shinies.

Libelldra with Earth Power – Is it good?

How strong is Earth Power? This move is the best Ground-type attack in the game. Libelldra will become significantly better with it. However, it can’t keep up with the best Ground attackers. Groudon and Stalobor are still better.

Libelldra will catch up with them and offer a good alternative. How can Libelldra learn this move? It must be evolved into Libelldra by 4:00 PM. The move can only be learned through evolution. It cannot be learned through TMs or later evolutions.

How to find Knacklion with 100% IV in your box

This is how searching goes quickly: If you don’t have much time for sorting during Community Day, you can use the evaluation system to your advantage. Just enter “4*” in the search bar, and all Pokémon with 100% IV will be displayed.

If you enter “3*”, you will find all Pokémon between 82.2% and 97.8%. You can safely discard all other Pokémon.

Rating system
The rating system is a great help here

These are Knacklion with 100% IV: In the wild, Knacklion can reach a maximum of 1092 CP. This would be an example with 100% IV. If you benefit from the weather bonus, it can even reach 1183 CP.

Here there is a weather bonus: Knacklion is a Ground type, so it benefits from a bonus in sunny weather. You can catch the Pokémon at level 35 instead of the usual maximum level of 30.

These items you should have with you

  • Lucky Eggs – 6 pieces
    • To take full advantage of the triple XP bonus, lucky eggs are worthwhile. This way, you can even get six times the XP. Make sure to have 6 with you, as one lasts only 30 minutes.
Pokémon GO Lucky Egg
  • Star Pieces – 6 pieces
    • You can gather a lot of Stardust if you use this item. This gives you 1.5x the dust, and if you go hard, you can easily make over 100,000 Stardust.
  • Incense – 3 pieces or more
    • It’s best to play in places with many PokéStops. Here you can use incense and get even more spawns.
  • Poké Balls – At least 200 pieces
    • You can’t catch Pokémon without balls. So make sure to gather a good supply beforehand. Knacklion won’t always be easy to catch, so you should also have Ultra Balls and Great Balls on hand.

LoL comments on censorship of “Hong Kong” at Worlds – Admits mistakes

The LoL Worlds are currently taking place. However, it seems that the casters are no longer allowed to say the word “Hong Kong.” An official statement from Riot Games admits to mistakes, stating that while they did not prohibit the word, the League of Legends casters were not sufficiently prepared for the difficult situation.

This is the incident: The casters and analysts at the LoL Worlds no longer say the word “Hong Kong.” However, one team is named “Hong Kong Attitude” – their name has consistently been shortened to “HKA.” The names of all other teams are fully pronounced.

There are even some instances where casters first say “Hong Kong,” but then correct themselves and turn it into an “HK.”

Strange behavior of the casters leads to censorship suspicion

How players react: This has caught the attention of many users on reddit. They considered it censorship and thought the Chinese from Tencent were behind it: The huge Chinese corporation owns Riot Games.

The politically tense situation between China and Hong Kong leads to the theory that Riot does not want anyone to say “Hong Kong” in a livestream to avoid angering the Chinese.

Additionally, interviews are not live but pre-recorded. Apparently, Riot Games wants to be able to cut out things that might go off the rails and upset the Chinese.

https://twitter.com/RKRigney/status/1182054106736652288

Riot admits mistakes – Confirms that interviews are not live

This is what Riot says now: The Communications Lead of Riot Games, Ryan Rigney, has addressed the allegations in a series of tweets:

  • No caster has been forbidden to say “Hong Kong” – on the contrary, they want all teams to be called by their full name. They do that on their own channels as well.
  • Apparently, there was confusion among the casters, who then abbreviated the word “Hong Kong” themselves – but that is not their fault, but Riot’s.
  • Riot Games failed to give the casters clear internal instructions on how to deal with the highly sensitive situation – now they want to discuss this with them.
https://twitter.com/RKRigney/status/1182070206438330369
  • A large part of the interviews are pre-recorded – in some cases, this is indeed due to the need to watch out for content (as in this case). In other cases, it’s simply more convenient.
LoL-Caster-HKA-1140x445

“Blink twice if you want us to send you help”

How players react: It is mixed.

  • Some people do not believe Riot. They think this statement is just damage control. There are many remarks like, “Blink twice if you want us to send you help.”
  • Others can understand Riot’s reasoning. The casters may have confused themselves. In any case, this is a response from Riot that can be dealt with, unlike the responses Blizzard is currently providing.

Destiny 2: Full Supers every 30 seconds? Clever armor combo makes it possible

We present you a build for Destiny 2 that can completely recharge your Super in about 30 seconds if used correctly. This method also works for other classes, although not as quickly. What is needed and how the community reacts can be read here.

This is what the build can do: With Shadowkeep, some changes have been made to the Destiny 2 sandbox. This includes adjustments to the stamina and recharge rate of the Super abilities of individual Guardian classes. Overall, Bungie wants players to wait a little longer for their most powerful ability without an optimized build.

With the presented build, you will have your Super available much more often than with many previous setups.

destiny-2-jäger-hohn

This is how the build is structured

These armor pieces you need: To use the build optimally, you need a combination of old armor pieces and perks that you collected before the third year of Destiny 2 and new pieces that comply with the “Armor 2.0” standard that became available with Shadowkeep.

Very important for the build is an “Armor 2.0” class item (Hunter cloak, Titan mark or Warlock bond) and a Year 2 leg armor. The specified armor pieces must have certain mods or perks.

These mods and perks you need:

  • Distribution reduces the cooldown of all abilities when the class ability is used.
  • Dynamo reduces the cooldown of the Super when the class ability is used.
  • Paragon Mod accelerates the cooldown of the class ability. This is a universally applicable armor mod and can be installed in all “Armor 2.0” armor pieces for 4 energy.
Here you see the Distribution mod

Your goal should be to have the mod “Distribution” 3 times in your armor. Once, it is located as a perk on the Year 2 boots. In your “Armor 2.0” class item, you can install the mod twice.

If you don’t have boots with Distribution or the appropriate mod, switch to Dynamo. This works very similarly.

In all other armor pieces, you should use the “Paragon mods”. The abilities of these mods are stackable and interact with each other in their functionality.

Weapon Master Banshee-44

This is how you play the build

This is how to get your Super back in 30 seconds: To significantly reduce the Super cooldown, you use the Hunter and his synergy with the class ability “Gambler’s Dodge”. With each dodge, you gain about one-eighth of your Super energy and your melee ability back thanks to the presented combination.

Ideally, you use:

  • the middle Gunslinger tree “Way of a Thousand Cuts”. This subclass grants you energy for your class ability as long as enemies are burning. Conveniently, your melee is a fan of burning throwing knives, which allows you to set enemies on fire.
  • The upper tree of the Arcstrider “Way of the Warrior” works well too. With this subclass, dodging recharges your melee, and melee kills fully recharge the dodge.

Both classes have their class ability available almost permanently as long as enemies are nearby. As a result, your Super should be ready in 30 seconds.

von Philipp Hansen

What about other Guardian classes? Titans and Warlocks also benefit from the presented combination. However, their class abilities (barricade and rift) take significantly longer to become usable again. Because the Hunter’s dodge roll has such a short cooldown, this class has the best synergy effect in this case.

In short: You can also significantly reduce the recharge time of the Super with other classes – albeit not as much as with the Hunter.

In this YouTube video, you can see the build in action:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3B7TTOkX2Q&t=12s
YouTuber Bakengansta demonstrates how to play the build

This is what the community says: The Guardians’ reaction is divided regarding the new discovery. Via reddit, some players express their excitement about the combination. Some Guardians want to replicate the build immediately and hope to still have suitable Year 2 armor and mods in their vault.

User 318Reflexion writes: “I hope I kept a pair of boots with Dynamo.” Other users praise the creativity and jokingly note that the combination of old armors and new 2.0 armor creates a new category. So Phantom-Phreak writes: “1.0 + 2.0 = 3.0”.

destiny 2 vex armor
The new armor from the Vex Offensive

However, some players are not as enthusiastic and have concerns about game balance. JustMy2Centences says: “And Gambit is broken again.” The word “broken” appears frequently in the discussion about the build. Sora101Ven writes: “Holy Mother of God, this is so broken.”.

In conclusion, some Guardians cannot help but lament like user Pulkogyerek: “Of course, it’s the Hunters again…”.

What do you think of the combo? Have you kept any old armor pieces to try out the build?

Fortnite star Ninja criticizes Epic – Wants new skins, no remakes

The Fortnite pro Tyler “Ninja” Blevins finds the skin selection currently too boring. He wishes for more variety. He explains how Epic Games could improve the selection.

What happened? The Fortnite pro criticized Epic Games for their uncreative skin selection. In a live stream on Mixer, Ninja talked with a friend about the current skin selection in Fortnite. For a few months now, Ninja has been streaming exclusively on Mixer and no longer on Twitch.

Fortnite Ninja Title

Ninja finds the skin selection not creative enough

What is Ninja’s opinion on the skins? The Fortnite pro believes that the skins are no longer creative enough. Epic would only reuse many skin models and make slight changes.

He said in the stream: “Honestly, bro. I would really like to see new skins soon. I don’t want to insult the artists; they invest hundreds of hours into these skins. But I would just like to see new skins.”

Ninja-Fortnite

Ninja believes he would like to see new concepts instead of just remakes of existing outfits. He feels that Epic reuses many of the old skins with a different color and cosmetics.

Here you can watch the video of the live stream when Ninja talked about it:

Mobile users should skip ahead to 57 seconds.

What does Ninja mean by skin remakes? Epic has used 8 different skin models since the beginning of Fortnite to create new skins. These skins are in their original form the default skins. For the female skins, these are:

  • Ramirez
  • Banshee
  • Wildcat
  • Headhunter

The male skins are:

  • Spitfire
  • Renegade
  • Hawk
  • Jonesy

However, another model has been added that is used frequently now. This model is the Rio skin. Here’s how it looks:

Epic Games creates many remakes

What are those remakes? The models mentioned above are used to create “new” outfits. For example, a Ramirez can become a Ghoul Trooper by painting the same character green and as a zombie. Here is how it looks:

The Ghoul Trooper is also one of the rarest skins as it was last available in November 2017.

Why do players in Apex Legends want to loot slower?

High-quality loot is important in Apex Legends for survival and winning a match. Looting quickly is actually an advantage. However, players now want the looting of loot boxes from fallen enemies to be delayed.

This is the delay players are asking for: When a player is downed and then fully defeated, they leave behind a loot box. Allies can retrieve their banner from it, and all players can take their strong weapons.

Apex Legends Death Boxes Loot Cave

Although looting should actually be quick, so that one can immediately jump into the next fight, many players are now demanding that this is delayed. They want the loot window to not open immediately, but to be delayed – at least under certain circumstances.

Looting slower in Apex Legends – but why?

This is the reason for the request: The idea behind it is that the loot window automatically closes as soon as you are shot while looting. This should help in reacting immediately to approaching enemies and not be caught off guard fatally.

Apex Legends Peacekeeper

For many players, it seems that they want to close the window automatically as soon as they are under fire. However, since it is already closed, they open it again. It then closes again due to the gunfire, and instead of closing it, they open it once more, and so on:

Every time I hear gunfire, I automatically leave the loot window. But since the automatic exit is activated at the same time, I find myself back in the loot window. This repeats until I am dead.

nattfjaril8 on reddit

Some players are seemingly hit even harder: They do not use the action button, but something like Escape on PC. Thus, they break off the loot process, but automatically land in the menu if the window is already closed. Thus, they stand around without the possibility to move and are easy prey. Console players have long complained about the controls.

Apex Legends Pathfinder sad title resize
Just standing still is not a good idea in a Battle Royale.

This is how the feature is supposed to be introduced: Since the problem does not affect all players, a reddit post with over 1,900 upvotes is calling for an option to turn off the automatic closing. This has also received significant support:

I need this feature more than I need to get better.

ZaynPlease on reddit

What do you think? Does this feature bother you, and would you like to loot slower?

If you prefer to loot somewhat safely, you can try to make your way to the new vaults:
