Raid bosses are currently completely missing in Borderlands 3. Clever players have already found hints about where a Varkid raid boss might appear. Now they are just waiting for the release and for a mysterious door at Ascension Bluff to open.
This is the situation: Many players have now completed the campaign of Borderlands 3 and are engaging in various endgame activities.
In True Vault Hunter Mode up to Mayhem level 3, players can make the game increasingly difficult and be overwhelmed with additional loot. During this, bosses are primarily defeated repeatedly.
However, a special type of boss is completely missing in Borderlands 3: raid bosses.
Will there be raid bosses? The fact that no raid boss is currently accessible in the game makes some fans unhappy. However, it seems unquestionable that raid bosses are definitely planned for Borderlands 3.
After all, they are an integral part of the series and are among the coolest challenges that can be tackled with a few friends. Not to mention that they always have extremely exciting loot.
Korilax the Invincible could be the first boss
These hints of raid bosses already exist: Even though no raid boss is currently accessible in the game, it seems clear that raid bosses will come eventually.
Data miners have already found numerous hints. It seems likely that there will be a Varkid boss named “Korilax the Invincible”. The name appears only briefly and is mentioned by Sir Hammerlock.
Hammerlock is known for having connections to (almost) all raid bosses in the past.
Additionally, there were already some images before the release of Borderlands 3 showing players fighting a huge Varkid at a specific location. The boss cannot currently be found in the game – but the location can.
In a video from IGN, this creature appeared – likely a raid boss.
The location is “Ascension Bluff”, an arena that is currently not accessible to most players and can only be entered with a few tricks.
In fact, nothing is currently spawning in the arena, but one can already see a “bonus room” that presumably contains the many loot chests after defeating the Varkid.
In Borderlands 2, Varkids were very common – and one could also create a raid boss from them.
Additionally, data miners have found a “Varkid Boss” in the game files.
However, the data is still incomplete, so it can be assumed that they will only be deployed with a future patch.
Varkid boss is suspected behind a closed door
This is the current status: YouTuber Glitching Queen has extensively engaged with the topic and has tried everything to open a mysterious door behind which she suspects the Varkid raid boss.
She had the theory that a Badass Varkid could open the door by ramming its head against it. But experiments in this direction were unsuccessful. Although surely some Varkids were injured – so there was a small success after all.

Glitching Queen and the players will probably have to wait until the boss, which was already seen in preview videos, is patched into the game and the mysterious door opens.
Players are definitely eager for new content and would like to slowly tackle the first raid boss.
Meanwhile, the online mode of GTA 5, GTA Online, is now six years old. We take a look at which DLCs were the most important and how they improved the online experience.
On October 1, 2013, GTA Online was released – at that time only for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. That was six years ago. Six years during which Rockstar continued to provide new content for the online part.
New content often comes in the form of free DLCs. They bring new cars, properties, missions, and features to make money in the game. Especially the ways to earn money are important. This allows players to access the content of the expansions without having to spend real money.
What are we listing here? We have looked at the DLCs and listed the five most important expansions for you here. The term “important” relates to how significant their impact was on the online game and how necessary the innovations were. We measured this by the community’s reactions on social media. The personal opinion of the author also influenced this top-5 list.
Cunning Stunts – Important Addon for Racers
What content did Cunning Stunts bring? The update was announced by Rockstar Games as “a whole new kind of competition.” 20 new stunt races specifically for Rocket Voltic, Ruiner 2000, and Blazer Aqua. 13 new vehicles made their way into the game with the update.
When was it released? July 12, 2016
Why was this important? This expansion was particularly important for players who were tired of the monotonous vehicle races in GTA Online. With Cunning Stunts came at least 20 new tracks where you defy gravity, drive through colorful tunnels, jump over abysses with ramps, or transform into boats or planes during the race.
In addition, there were a ton of cars, additional race tracks, and racing suits to give it all the necessary feeling. Racers fully enjoyed this content, and there were finally reasons to regularly sign up for races again. For racing enthusiasts, this update was immensely important.
What content did Finance and Felony bring? Through this DLC, CEO work returned to GTA Online. It became possible to buy offices including assistants, steal and sell goods, and earn money in other ways as a VIP. Some of the most luxurious vehicles, such as the Volatus, entered the game as a result, totaling 14 vehicles. A few weeks after the release of the DLC, the popular Grotti X80 Proto became available at the dealers in GTA Online.
When was it released? On June 7, 2016.
Why was this important? This DLC could be considered the most important DLC that laid the foundation for easy money-making. Many players still use the CEO work to make money today. Through the update, players could buy office buildings and warehouses. The goods they grind are stored in the warehouse. The selling price then increases exponentially with the goods in stock. Later, players sell the stuff for several million GTA dollars.
For players, this update was so important because it finally provided new ways to make money. This variety brought fun. Additionally, poorer players could do bodyguard work without having to buy the expensive properties.
What content did the Heists update bring? This DLC finally made it possible to participate in heists in the online mode.
When was it released? On March 10, 2015.
Why was this important? Especially at the beginning of the online mode of GTA 5, the game struggled with limited content. The heists were announced early on in a gameplay trailer in 2013 but needed more work.
When they finally arrived a year and a half later, the heists were a significant update for players.
The special co-op missions for up to 4 players brought in a lot of money if successful. For the first time, players could quickly earn a lot of money and had to show much more teamwork than in the monotonous contact missions. Suddenly, there was a role selection, and players could showcase if they excelled as a driver or shooter. Heists remain popular to this day, and players are constantly invited to join them in online sessions. Only in 2017 did the new Doomsday Heist come into the game.
Check out the gameplay trailer from 2013 that announced the heists:

What content did Bikers bring? The Bikers update brought motorcycle clubs, new ways to make money, co-op gameplay, properties, and new motorcycles to the game.
When was it released? On October 4, 2016.
Why was this important? Fans had been eagerly anticipating a motorcycle update since the release of GTA Online. After all, one knew from the GTA 4 expansion “The Lost and Damned” with the biker gang “Lost” that Rockstar Games has a soft spot for two-wheeled machines.
This add-on brought 21 new vehicles to the game: motorcycles, trikes, quads, and also two cars. Included among the vehicles is the Tron bike “Nagasaki Shotaro“. But not only the vehicles played an important role.
As a biker boss, you can buy businesses that process coke, heroin, counterfeit money, and more. You acquire the goods for your helpers (NPCs), who process everything while you simply play in a session. After a certain waiting time, you can sell the product for profit.
The add-on was important because it fulfilled the desire for biker content and provided new ways to earn money in GTA Online.
What content did the Casino update bring? This update finally opened the casino, which had been closed since the launch in 2013. Along with it came a plethora of new cars that are being released gradually. There is also the possibility to gamble with poker, blackjack, or slot machines. Even horse racing is included. The update also features new missions for the online mode.
When was it released? On July 23, 2019.
Why was this important? This release was especially important to give players something they had been waiting for a long time. Since the online mode started in 2013, the casino remained closed. In the following months and years, the “Opening Soon” sign was repeatedly in one’s sight at the casino parking lot. However, this “soon” was prolonged for a long time.
What are the best money DLCs? Looking at the DLCs listed above, it’s about money and the emotions connected to the content. For pure money-making, without emotions, we would choose a different selection:
After Hours – The nightclub DLC that also provides reasonable ways for solo players to earn money safely
Import/Export – The best way to actively make money in the game by stealing cars, tuning them, and then selling them for a high price
Gunrunning – This update brought one of the best ways into the game, similar to the motorcycle clubs, to earn money passively
How to quickly make a lot of money in GTA Online, we show you here:
What do you say? What do you think are the most important DLCs in GTA Online? Feel free to leave your top 5 in the comments and explain why these add-ons are so important to you.

Professional players Tyler “Ninja” Blevins and Reverse 2k achieve an impressive world record together. They recorded the longest win streak in the world in Fortnite, in duo mode. A Twitch clip shows the moment of their triumph – there they celebrate their new world record in Fortnite.
What happened? The professional player Ninja and his duo partner Reverse 2k wanted to break the record for “most consecutive matches won.” The previous record was a win streak of 42, held by Siqqza.
The duo needed 43 consecutive wins to set a new record.
Ninja and Reverse 2k had already played together in the Fortnite World Championship. Their highest win streak before was 29. They wanted to try and were confident in breaking the record.
Ninja and Reverse 2k achieve the world record together
How did they achieve the record? The two professionals wanted to play tactically, as they were live streaming the attempt. The risk is high that stream snipers will interfere. They did not show where they would land and held back.
Ninja said: “Let the other duos fight each other first.”
At the first moment, Ninja was down due to a disconnect, but Reverse 2k was able to face the last 4 opponents and took the victory.
At the second moment, Reverse 2k was down because he got caught in the storm. The last 2 players also died, and Ninja took the victory.
How did the professionals react to the success? Excitement grew in the last match, as they were so close to breaking the world record. When the last opponent was dead, Reverse 2k shouted: “Nice!”

This could fit well: Looking closely at the three villains, you can see that they all have a distinct color. Cliff has blue shoulder pads, Arlo has red streaks in his hair, and Sierra has yellow parts in her jacket.
Some players are speculating on Reddit that these three are negative team leaders, essentially the counterparts to Spark, Candela, and Blanche.
Here are more speculations: Already upon discovering the loading screen, players believed that these three villains could also occupy Gyms and not just PokéStops, unlike other Rocket Grunts.
Others hope that players can finally join Team Rocket, which is why there are new team leaders. ProtoJMan says on Reddit: “Maybe we can finally join Team Rocket, as I always wanted to do.”
When will we learn more about it? Niantic is now posting daily updates about the new Rocket Grunts. It shouldn’t be long until the villains actually come into the game.
Until then, you can catch more Shiny Myrapla. Take your chance:
On October 2, the LoL Worlds began in Berlin. The first day saw some strange plays at the League of Legends World Championship. Many teams took some heavy hits. Only the Europeans from Splyce remained undefeated. In the spotlight of criticism: the US team Clutch Gaming. A really poor Baron play caused some head-shaking.
What was being played? On October 2, the first 6 matches of the League of Legends Worlds 2019 in Berlin took place. This is the 1st round of the “Play-In Stage”, where 12 teams compete against each other.
These are the rather “weaker” teams of the World Championship. The third-placed teams from major regions or representatives from smaller regions face off against each other.
The teams form 4 groups – the last place team in each group will be eliminated. The 3 teams in a group compete against each other twice.
However, Clutch Gaming lost their first match against the representatives of the Russian league LCL: against the Unicorns of Love.
Looks innocent, but packs a punch: Neeko.
The top laner of Clutch Gaming, Heo “Huni” Seung-hoo, often found himself in trouble. He finished on Akali with 3/5/4.
He was too aggressive; here he took a heavy hit during a tower dive. In this situation, the 2 attackers from Clutch Gaming apparently underestimated the damage from the Boss on Neeko. Additionally, help was teleported in.

Even in the second match of Clutch Gaming, the US team looked quite beatable. Despite a clear lead with 5:1 kills, they allowed the Baron to be stolen from the “Mammoth” team from Australia, even though they were in a strong position.

In LoL, it doesn’t matter who does the most damage to the Baron: only who takes away the last health points and delivers the finishing blow counts. Then the team receives a powerful buff.
Actually, in such a situation, it is the jungler’s job to kill the Baron. He has the ability, Smite, which deals damage to “PvE opponents”.
However, the jungler of Clutch Gaming, Lira (featured image), missed his Smite: he used it too early when the Baron still had too many health points and could not kill him. Therefore, a “W” from the opposing Kai’SA was enough to steal the Baron.

At this level, it is a mistake that angered many LoL fans. Securing a “Baron kill” is part of the basics for pro LoL players.
The situation is judged as critical because the opposing jungler did not have his Smite ready – that is actually the greatest risk in such a situation. How Clutch Gaming lost the Baron here really frustrates LoL fans.
Nevertheless, Clutch Gaming managed to win the match. A key factor was the top laner Huni on Tristana, who faced such problems in the match against Unicorns of Love. Here he secured a double kill that nearly decided the match.

These are the first results: Group A will likely be especially exciting at the LoL Worlds 2019: The Unicorns of Love managed to defeat Clutch Gaming, but lost against Mammoth eSports. Therefore, all teams in the group now have one win and one loss.
The picture is clearer in Group 2, where the Europeans from Splyce managed to win both matches.
The actual stars of the LoL World Championship will only enter the tournament later.
The MMORPG Astellia relies on a Holy Trinity consisting of five classes. We would like to introduce you to these classes and their special properties.
“What can the individual classes do and which classes should I play?” This question occupies many players when they dive into a new MMORPG.
In this article, we would like to introduce you to the five playable classes of Astellia and their roles in the game in more detail. We also provide an overview of the general skills and useful attributes of the classes. For a better understanding of the attributes, our guide is recommended.
[toc]
Warrior – The Tank in the Dungeons
What can the Warrior do? Warriors are melee fighters equipped with sword and shield. They can take a lot of damage and also deal good damage with their sword.
They also possess some shield skills that can control opponents by knocking them down or stunning them.
How difficult is it to play the Warrior? Due to their high defense, Warriors are very easy to play and level up in the open world. During the leveling phase, you will gain some skills that directly target multiple enemies.
You can use these skills to attack and eliminate multiple enemies at once. This saves time and allows you to level up almost as quickly as damage dealers.
Healing Astels are useful for this strategy to keep you alive.
What attributes are important for the Warrior? In the open world, you should focus mainly on damage in the form of Physical Attack and Precision. For the attributes, you should focus on Strength and Agility.
As a Tank in the dungeons, you will later focus on Constitution, which gives you more health points and defense. The defense values will then also play a larger role.
Which Astels are useful in the open world? In the early phase, especially attack and healing Astels will help you. Right from the start, you will get Cygnus, which is very useful in the first levels.
However, you can do without Rota or Tentrinio, which you will also receive early in the game, as you can easily deal with the damage from enemies and don’t need an additional tank.
Later, you can look forward to Draco, with whom you can execute a combo attack that deals damage to all targets and knocks them down.
What is the role of the Warrior in the endgame? In dungeons, Warriors primarily take on the role of the tank. They use skills like Taunt or Bind, generating a lot of threat and keeping enemies focused on them.
In the PvP area Avalon, you stand at the front as part of a group and absorb the first incoming damage. Your goal is to protect your damage dealers from incoming damage.
Sagittarius – High Damage with Bow and Arrow
What can the Sagittarius do? The Sagittarius is an archer and fights with bow and arrow. His focus is on dealing damage while avoiding contact with enemies.
To keep enemies at bay, he can slow them down and then swiftly eliminate them with powerful attacks. He also has several skills that allow him to move backward away from enemies.
How difficult is it to play the Sagittarius? The Sagittarius is somewhat harder to play than the Warrior, but still belongs to the easier classes.
He has quite a few skills that can be used while moving or that change his position, making him much more mobile than a Mage.
What attributes are important for the Sagittarius? The Sagittarius focuses entirely on dealing damage to enemies. Therefore, Strength and Agility are important attributes.
Agility also increases the chance to dodge enemy attacks. If the Sagittarius is forced into melee combat, this can help him survive a bit longer.
On your equipment, prioritize physical attack, physical precision, critical attack, and critical precision.
Which Astels are useful in the open world? For the open world, at least one tank-Astel is definitely recommended. In the beginning, this will be Rota, which will later be replaced by Tetrinio and Virgo. Both can hold enemy aggro much better.
You can also use additional damage-Astels, such as Corvus or Pisces. You should always have a healer in your back pocket.
What is the role of the Sagittarius in the endgame? In dungeons and in the PvP area Avalon, the role of the Sagittarius is to deal targeted damage to an enemy.
The AoE attacks of the archer are relatively weak and should only be used against larger groups of enemies.
Mage – High Burst Damage, Low Health
What can the Mage do? Mages are masters of the elements and focus on casting spells. He specializes in AoE attacks and can slow down enemies with skills like Blizzard.
The Mage uses a staff as a weapon.
How difficult is it to play the Mage? Mages are the second toughest class in Astellia, mainly because they die very quickly if no Astel is tanking for them.
However, they can deal a lot of damage, and they can frequently target multiple enemies. This often leads to pulling many enemies, which usually turns out to be a mistake. In dungeons, paired with a tank, AoE skills are extremely useful.
What attributes are important for the Mage? Mages focus entirely on spell damage. Therefore, you should improve the attributes Intelligence and Wisdom.
In your gear, focus on magic attack, magic precision, critical attack, and critical precision.
Which Astels are useful in the open world? As a Mage, you first need a tank at the frontline, similar to the Sagittarius. Here, Rota and later Tetrinio and Virgo are recommended.
Additionally, there are many combo attacks that you can perform with other Mage-Astels. With Sirius, for example, you can execute a very powerful AoE attack together, which is also important in the endgame.
What is the role of the Mage in the endgame? In the endgame, you are primarily responsible for dealing damage as a Mage. Unlike the Sagittarius and Assassin, you can directly target multiple enemies. However, you need to ensure that the Warrior can hold the aggro of all targets.
In Avalon, you tend to stay in the background during larger battles and try to deal damage from there. In 1-on-1 situations, you will find it particularly difficult against Assassins.
Assassin – Quick Melee Assassin
What can the Assassin do? Assassins are melee fighters equipped with two daggers. Their goal is to deal damage as quickly and as much as possible.
They use skills like Shadow Dance, allowing them to teleport to enemies. Additionally, the Assassin’s attacks cause bleeding and poison, dealing damage to enemies over time.
They also possess a unique resource called Edge, which is consumed to enhance certain attacks.
How difficult is it to play the Assassin? The Assassin is extremely easy to play in the early levels because he can defeat almost all enemies instantly. However, it becomes harder over time as the enemies get stronger and you withstand very little damage yourself.
Since Assassins need to position themselves behind the enemies to deal extra damage, proper positioning comes into play. This is further complicated by the fact that no tank-Astel can hold aggro due to the damage.
What attributes are important for the Assassin? Assassins aim to deal damage as quickly and as much as possible. Therefore, they focus on Strength and Agility.
In your gear, you should increase Physical Attack, Critical Hit Chance, and Critical Damage.
Which Astels are useful in the open world? Assassins enjoy collaborating with other Assassins. As you progress, you will encounter Link, with whom you will execute a Shadow Step followed by two attacks. There are also combo attacks with the Assassins Serpens.
Healing Astels are also useful because they can keep Assassins alive. You can do without tanks like Tetrinio because they cannot hold aggro.
What is the role of the Assassin in the endgame? In the endgame, Assassins are primarily responsible for dealing damage. In dungeons, they try to position themselves behind enemies.
In Avalon, it is best for them to move separately from the group and choose individual targets to swiftly eliminate.
Scholar – Healer and Buffer
What can the Scholar do? The Scholar is a typical healer class that also receives some damage abilities for the open world. As a weapon, Scholars use a staff.
In addition to healing and damage, Scholars also focus on hindering enemies in combat. They can hold enemies with Holy Binding or slam them to the ground with Divine Blast.
Only Scholars have the capability to resurrect allies with Resurrection or Mass Resurrection.
How difficult is it to play the Scholar? The Scholar is not difficult to play in the open world, but it is very slow-paced. Fights against monsters take significantly longer than with Assassins or Mages.
All abilities are also easy to understand in their functions.
What attributes are important for the Scholar? Scholars place a lot of emphasis on healing in the endgame, for which they need spell power. They obtain this through the attribute Willpower. Additionally, Knowledge gives you extra mana and a chance for critical healing. However, you should first improve Intelligence and Wisdom.
In the attributes themselves, also focus on magic attack and magic precision, at least while leveling. Later, spell power will play a larger role.
Which Astels are useful in the open world? In the open world, you should use Astels that deal damage for you or tank enemies. You will then ensure that they stay alive.
However, there are also interesting combinations with healing Astels, which can become particularly interesting in legendary dungeons. For example, Kitsune modifies the skill Divine Shield so that it not only provides a barrier but also heals over time.
What is the role of the Scholar in the endgame? In the endgame, as a Scholar, you take on the role of a classic healer. It is important that you can only actively heal group members.
In Avalon, this is somewhat more difficult because not all players are always part of your group. However, you will mainly focus on healing and resurrecting teammates.
Besides the tips about the classes, we have also gathered some general information about Astellia that you should know:

Season 11 is coming to Fortnite. With a new Battle Pass, a new theme, and possibly a new map. We will tell you everything about the start and end date and what theories are already circulating.
When does Season 11 start? The Battle Pass of Season 10 ends on October 5, 2019. However, Season 10 has been extended by a week and now ends on October 13, 2019.
Normally, a new season always starts on a Thursday. The next available date would be October 17, 2019. Therefore, Season 11 could start then. But this is not officially confirmed yet.
How much will the Battle Pass cost? So far, the Battle Passes have always cost 950 V-Bucks, the version with 25 tiers: 2800 V-Bucks. It is unlikely that these prices will change.
The end of Season X (Season 10)
How will Season 10 end? The current season should end no later than October 6. However, Epic has announced that the season will be extended and will now end on October 13, 2019. Through the Overtime Challenges available from October 8 to 13, you can unlock cosmetics, a loading screen, and experience points.
There are some theories about the end, as a rocket is already being actively built in Dusty Depot.
The Visitor built and launched a rocket at the end of Season 4. Now the Scientist is building a rocket at Dusty Depot.
It is suspected that the Scientist will finish building the rocket and then launch it. Players would participate in the rocket launch during a live event.
and the altered versions of skins from previous Battle Passes
It sounds likely that the long-awaited new map could finally come. The Scientist might now carry out the plan and destroy the current Fortnite map.
The Visitor launched the rocket, which then brought the Rift and the Cube.
Theme of Season 11 – What could it be?
What is known about the theme of Season 11? Epic has not provided any hints in this direction yet. The last seasons were always announced with small teasers. So far, these have not been released, but they will probably come soon. Probably in early October.
Since Season 11 takes place around Halloween, it is likely that it will be spooky in Fortnite. There was also a Halloween event last year: Fortnitemares.
There is still not much information about Season 11. However, there are many theories. In a few weeks, we will see what is coming our way.
If you play Fortnite on mobile, here are all the details about the Group Center:
In Pokémon GO, Shiny Myrapla can now be found. The Pokémon is now more prevalent in the game thanks to the Safari Zone in Taiwan. However, your chances are not high for long.
That’s why Shiny Myrapla exists: The Grass-type Pokémon is one of the highlights at the Safari Zone in Taiwan. Since such events always introduce a new Shiny worldwide, this time it’s Myrapla’s turn.
Other spawns are not increased, but you can now find Myrapla more often in the wild.
Everything you need to know about Shiny Myrapla
That’s why you should take your chance: Myrapla can only be found in greater numbers this weekend, and the chance of encountering a Shiny seems to be increased once again. However, this will only last until Sunday, as the Safari Zone in Taiwan ends then.
As with every Safari Zone, the Shiny chance for the event Pokémon is also increased worldwide this time. A rate of 1 in 150 is expected, as was the case with Shiny Yanma last time.
Myrapla has a total of 3 evolutions. If you want to have a complete Shiny Dex, you will need to catch 4 Shiny Myrapla. Therefore, you should take advantage of this weekend; after that, the chances will not be so good.
What does Shiny Myrapla look like? The Shiny is significantly lighter than the regular form. This brightness also carries over to Giflor, as it is also light green. Blubella is pink instead of green.
The Shiny family of Myrapla
This fits well together: This evening, the Stardust Event in Pokémon GO also starts. However, the spawns do not seem to change for it. This is even better for your Myrapla, as you will receive double Stardust and can also hunt for a new Shiny.
In November, a special live event in Pokémon GO could start. We show you what the dataminer found:
After the launch of Destiny 2 Shadowkeep, we present some powerful builds for your Guardians that should quickly cause quite a bit of trouble among enemy ranks.
The YouTuber has thought about how we Guardians can benefit from the new changes and effectively combat the forces of darkness after his time at Bungie. He has already developed several combinations of different subclasses, exotic armors, and suitable artifact mods that could prove to be quite helpful in Shadowkeep.
You can watch his video here:

With the new armor system Armor 2.0, you should gain enormous freedom in character development. Not only visually can your Guardian be individualized, but specialized and effective fighters can also be created.
The new seasonal artifact progressively gives you access to unique mods. These are almost essential for success in certain endgame activities. Particularly, Void and Arc subclasses can benefit from the artifact mods.
In each season, you will receive a new, unique artifact.
Void Titan Build 1
Subclass: Sentinel – Code of the Protector
Exotic Armor: Doom Fang Pauldron
Melee attacks give you Super energy back with this Exotic.
The Doom Fang Pauldrons
He does not recommend any special artifact mods in this case.
How to play this build: Pay attention to the overall armor setup focusing on the Strength stat. This will reduce the cooldown time for your next melee attack. Because melee kills grant you and your allies health and, when the ability is charged, even an overshield.
Additionally, you can recharge your Super faster with melee attacks in combination with the exotic gloves if you continuously pummel enemies.
If you then activate your Super “Dusk Shield,” affectionately known as Titan Bubble, you not only have a protective dome, but also benefit from the new buff “Weapons of Light.” This strengthens the damage of every Guardian who enters the bubble by 35% for 15 seconds.
Void Titan Build 2
Subclass: Sentinel – Code of the Commander
Exotic Armor: Heart of the Innermost Light
The perk Overflowing Light grants you an enhancement for the remaining abilities after using one of the 3 Titan abilities (melee, grenade, or barricade) and recharges them faster.
Always provides you with energy – The Heart of the Innermost Light
Suitable artifact mods:
Overloading Grenades: Void grenades disrupt, delaying ability energy regeneration and decreasing damage dealt by fighters. Strong against Overload Champions. (Energy cost: 4)
Oppressive Darkness: Damage caused by Void grenades applies a weakening effect to enemies. (Energy cost: 6)
How to play this build: The middle Sentinel tree has the ability to attach detonators to your foes when hitting them with Void abilities. These will explode after dealing some damage, chaining Void damage across the battlefield.
Thanks to all the explosions, your Titan and the Guardians nearby heal themselves. Additionally, allies gain a quicker cooldown for grenades and melee attacks.
The goal should be to continuously have an empowered ability (Super, grenades, or melee attack) ready to keep the enemy masses at bay.
Titans are now back in the big league
On the next page, we will continue with the Hunter builds.

Jürgen Klopp engaged in a conversation with FIFA World Champion MoAuba during a meeting. Klopp was particularly curious about the salary of the FIFA professional.
In a discussion between the World Coach of the Year, Jürgen Klopp, and FIFA World Champion Mohammed “MoAuba” Harkous at the FIFA Gala “The Best”, the Liverpool coach revealed himself as an interested eSports fan.
He asked the FIFA professional questions and was especially surprised by his salary.
MoAuba added: “I think it’s like a second division player.”
Jürgen Klopp expressed his astonishment that the two eSports athletes earn more than he did in his younger years as a football professional at Mainz 05: “I earned 4000 marks at Mainz,” Klopp said.
Mohammed Harkous then laughed awkwardly and admitted it was “a bit more.”

This is Mohammed “MoAuba” Harkous: The 22-year-old FIFA professional Mohammed Harkous is the first German FIFA World Champion. He won the title in 2019 in FIFA 19. MoAuba has also been a German champion in FIFA four times. He plays on the PlayStation 4.
This is the club the professional plays for: After Mohammed “MoAuba” Harkous became the FIFA World Champion as a professional at SV Werder Bremen, he surprisingly transferred to the Swiss Fokus Clan in September 2019.
He also belongs to the newly formed German FIFA national team.
The next patch for World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth is confirmed. The first data from WoW Patch 8.3 can already be seen. Is the new patch coming to the PTR soon?
Although Patch 8.2.5 of WoW has only been live in the game for a few days, the next update is already on the way. At least in Blizzard’s “Content Distribution Network” (CDN), the first data from Patch 8.3 has already appeared.
Are game files known yet? No. So far, the game data from Patch 8.3 is still fully encrypted and cannot be accessed.
After a patch appears in the CDN, it usually takes another 1 to 2 weeks before the PTR actually starts. But these are just estimates; Blizzard can of course shorten or extend this period.
Is Patch 8.3 coming soon? Most players are glad that there is even a Patch 8.3. After the end of the war campaign, they feared that there would be no proper story conclusion besides the cinematics. But apparently, the story of Battle for Azeroth is (still) not finished.
Now there is only speculation about whether the patch will be presented before BlizzCon in November or not.
What speaks in favor? The argument for an early presentation is that it avoids the “problem” of Legion. At a BlizzCon, the planet Argus was presented and at the same time, the following expansion “Battle for Azeroth” was discussed.
This led to the strange situation where players were already looking forward to the next expansion and could hardly get excited about Argus anymore.
What speaks against? Basically, it seems strange that the next major patch is already being rolled out on the PTR. After all, the BlizzCon is in just about 4 weeks, and that would be the perfect time to announce new content. At BlizzCon, there is an extremely large stage, and after last year’s “disaster”, it would definitely be better to have as many big announcements as possible ready.
Are you looking forward to Patch 8.3 and are curious? Or can you not wait for the next expansion of WoW?
Starting tonight, October 3, a new Stardust event begins in Pokémon GO. We provide you with all the info about the bonuses and duration.
When does the Stardust event run? Tonight, October 3, at 10 PM, the bonuses in the game will start. For one week, you can earn more dust in Pokémon GO.
Thus, the 3 new Grunts could come into the game soon, which Niantic showed on Twitter. However, this has not yet been confirmed.
5 Tips for the new event in Pokémon GO
How can I make the best use of the event? Stardust events are among the most important occurrences in Pokémon GO. Stardust is the best resource in the game, and you can never have enough of it.
Today, on October 2nd, the community stream “State of the Game” for The Division 2 was live. In addition to some gameplay innovations, a mystery was discussed that has apparently not yet been revealed.
What is this mystery? The Division 2 is packed with puzzles and Easter eggs. Many things have already been discovered, and even the developers are repeatedly amazed at how quickly such mysteries are solved.
However, a very specific boss in the “Manning National Zoo” has not yet been discovered. The developers gave hints in the stream on how to solve the riddle.
What is the “State of the Game” livestream? The Division is a service game and is constantly being developed. In addition to new content, the developers are also working on balance changes and gameplay adjustments.
Some of the decisions are not always understandable for the community, and Massive uses streams, forums, and social media to explain their work on the game. This makes the development clearer for players and provides feedback to developers about their game.
Undiscovered mystery spoiled
In episode #135 of the “State of the Game” stream, however, it wasn’t just about the upcoming Title Update 6. The two hosts also discussed a previously undiscovered mystery.
How can I be the first? It likely involves a very specific boss that hides behind some mechanics in the mission “Manning National Zoo”. Here are the specific hints:
Undiscovered boss in the mission “Manning National Zoo”
The first step does not involve UI interaction
Something unknown must be done in the mission
for example, shoot certain objects or throw grenades into a hole
After that, an interaction opportunity appears that spawns a boss.
The bounty hunt begins
Am I really the first? That cannot be said for sure. The developer guest in the live stream, Trick Dempsey, talked about his search for clues to solve the mystery and couldn’t discover any guide or even mention of the riddle.
YouTuber finds boss after a few hours
Update: With the hints, the boss was found quite quickly. The YouTuber “NothingButSkillz” uploaded this video last night, a few hours after the stream, on “The Gaming Channel”.

What about the next Title Update? The test servers for the update ran until yesterday, October 1st, and Title Update 6 is expected to release in mid-October. You can check here for the announced updates for the next update:
The exotic submachine gun Riskrunner is a powerful exotic weapon. Previously, it was available through the campaign of Destiny 2 or through Xur. New players can now earn it through the quest line “Pain and Gain.” We will guide you through the tasks and take a look at this exotic weapon.
How to start the quest: Visit the Gunsmith Banshee-44 in his workshop in the Tower. He gives you a quest called “Pain and Gain.”
The first quest step: is called “Joy in Suffering” and requires you to:
The Nightfall Strike may prove to be a slightly larger hurdle for some. Especially for solo Guardians, this is a tough task. However, the official Destiny app or our Facebook page can help, allowing you to quickly join a fireteam and tackle this quest step together, in case you have no friends online or are completely new to the game.
By the way, since Shadowkeep, Vanguard Chief Zavala offers players 2 alternatives:
The regular Nightfall, with a recommended power level of 820. Here, you still choose the modifiers yourself using “Five of Swords” and need a pre-made team.
The new variant of the Nightfall is called Fireprobe. Initially, a power level of 750 is recommended. In higher difficulty levels, the requirement increases to up to 980 and provides additional challenges.
On Master and Heroic levels in the Fireprobe Nightfall, matchmaking is active, meaning you will be matched with other players. However, we have not yet been able to verify whether completion at these two levels counts toward progress for the quest.
Part of the new top activities of the week: The Fireprobe
The second quest step: The quest now leads you back to the EDZ. A new mission appears on the map called “Risk/Reward.” Here’s how it goes:
During the mission, you must find and eliminate 3 specific Fallen Captains. These will spawn only after you have shown enough standard enemies who’s boss.
Once all 3 Captains are defeated, you will be guided to an area where you must prove your jumping skills. At the end of a longer jumping section, the Riskrunner will await you on a table.
By the way, if you defeat one of the runners, a chest will appear from which you can loot the Khvostov auto rifle – but the white version. This is the first weapon that Guardians held in their hands at the beginning of their journey in Destiny 1.
Then continue on and defeat a big Fallen boss. Once you’ve sent him to the virtual afterlife, you will receive the exotic Masterwork Catalyst for the Riskrunner.
Now you should return to Banshee-44 in the Tower. However, there is no additional reward waiting for you there.
a Fallen Walker – No problem for Guardians
The reward for your efforts
What the exotic submachine gun Riskrunner can do: This weapon exotic deals Arc damage and has a very high rate of fire of 900. It stands out mainly due to its excellent handling.
Already part of Destiny 2 Beta – Riskrunner
The unique exotic properties of Riskrunner are:
Arc Conductor: When taking Arc damage, the weapon becomes stronger and you resist incoming Arc damage. Kills extend the time in this overcharged state.
Superconductive: When Arc Conductor is active, there is a chance that fired shots will become chain lightning and refund ammunition.
The lightning-throwing piece is best suited for the frontline – especially when dealing with enemies with Arc damage. Thanks to this weapon, shocking enemies pose no problem for you.
How you burn through waves of enemies with the weapon can be read here:
This is what the Masterwork Catalyst does: The catalyst gives the weapon an additional 30 range points. This gives the SMG a solid 85/100 range and puts many other submachine guns to shame.
In this video, you can see how Nkuch tackles the quest and embarks on the revamped hunt for the Riskrunner:

With Shadowkeep, many changes and innovations made their way to Destiny 2 – including the new Finishing Moves – or Finishers. But what exactly are they? And how do you use them correctly? You can find out here in the article.
These are Finishers: The stylish melee maneuvers were newly introduced with Shadowkeep. Thanks to the Finishers, you can finish off a weakened foe with a short animation. It is essentially an additional melee attack.
During this, you can comfortably watch the cool execution from the third-person perspective.
What is the problem with Finishers? Many Guardians still do not know how to execute the new moves. During gameplay, a mini-tutorial in text form appears only once to inform you about the use of Finishers.
If Guardians are distracted at this moment, for example by conversations with their fireteam, they may miss this important information. Because those who miss it will not be reminded again.
Equipping Finishers: In the Guardian menu, you select your Finishers. Here you can also see the key combination needed for activation. Keep in mind that these details only apply to standard controls:
On consoles, it is R3, so a press on the right analog stick
PC users click “Q” on the keyboard
The Finishers are new in the equipment screen
Here’s how to use them correctly: To use a Finisher at all, the target must have already lost a certain part of its health. If your opponent has lost enough health, they will shine white/yellow.
Additionally, a glowing circle appears above their head. Now you can move into melee range and perform the execution.
You always look good in combat with the elaborate Finishers, but these actions are not purely cosmetic. Because the Finishers can be enhanced with certain mods and thus also influence gameplay. A central role is played by the new seasonal artifact.
With the artifact mod Heavy Finisher, which is installed in the class item, Finishers generate Heavy ammo. However, this requires half of your Super energy.
The artifact mod Thunder Coil, also for the class item, grants bonus damage for all Arc melee abilities and refunds Super energy for Finisher kills.
Additionally, this can sometimes knock out opponents that you would otherwise need almost an entire magazine for.
This Acolyte is in for a serious headache
Here’s how you can customize Finishers visually
Here are new Finisher animations: If your various standard Finishers for Warlock, Hunter, and Titan are not enough, you can exchange them for more elaborate variants.
The catch is: You must purchase the stylish alternatives from Tess in the Eververse.
But you can also earn new Finisher moves through the premium route of the Season Pass.
Tess has some extra stylish Finishers in stock
What do you think of the new Finishers so far?Or have you not even noticed them properly?
The Twitch streamer Matt “dellor” Vaughn was banned from Twitch for breaking a keyboard over his head during a game of Apex Legends. After the ban, the streamer said he had been depressed for months. He then spoke in a way that hinted at suicidal thoughts.
Who is he? Matt “dellor” Vaughn (31) is a former eSports athlete and Twitch streamer. He made a name for himself in PUBG and Overwatch, and was active in World of Warcraft and Diablo 3. In all these games, he performed well and achieved strong placements. Recently, he played Fortnite and Apex Legends.
For a while, he was also an Overwatch pro for Toronto.
Streamer says: I have already broken hundreds of keyboards
This is what happened: In a stream on Apex Legends, dellor got so upset that he grabbed the keyboard and hit it against his head. He did it again and broke the keyboard in half.
As a result, Twitch banned him indefinitely because he had “self-harmed.” Dellor shared this in a tweet.
This is how dellor reacts: At first, dellor said he had already broken hundreds of keyboards without ever hurting himself. He buys these keyboards specifically because they are so cheap and fragile. He had no scratches. To prove his physical integrity, he showed a photo of his head.
He also says that Twitch staff had watched his streams before and seen him break keyboards. Dellor had never received a warning for that.
But just one hour later, dellor published a more serious statement. There he said: He had been depressed for months. He had remained loyal to Twitch. But now it is said that he will be banned for something he has done thousands of times. And his contact at Twitch says he cannot do anything for him.
That they ban him on the day he was supposed to get back the subscribe button – that is now all too much.
Dellor then writes: He does not want to live in this world anymore. He hopes that everyone remembers the happy times and the laughs they had together.
This is how other Twitter users react to dellor: Dellor’s tweet has received a lot of attention in recent hours. Some fans express their sympathy to dellor, tell him how much he means to them, and want to help him in some way.
The head of gaming YouTube, Ryan Wyatt, wrote to dellor that although he does not know him, they could talk. Wyatt says he wants to see if anything can be done to get dellor’s career and life back on track.
Tyler “Ninja” Blevins hinted that dellor should come to Mixer.
In addition, some are posting the phone number of a helpline for people who are struggling with suicidal thoughts.
What do we know now? Meanwhile, it became known through dellor’s Discord that the streamer has checked into a clinic and is in good hands. This was communicated by moderators of the Discord.
Dellor is doing well.
In Germany, the telephone helpline can be reached at 0800-1110111 at any time.
Has the free-to-play version Destiny 2: New Light captured your interest and you want to try your hand as a Guardian? In this beginner’s guide to Destiny, we explain some important things that should make your entry into the Destiny universe easier.
What is Destiny 2: New Light? Destiny 2: New Light refers to the available free-to-play version of Destiny 2. It has been available since October 1, 2019, on PS4, Xbox One, and Steam.
Destiny 2 itself is a multiplayer online shooter with MMO elements, played from a first-person perspective. The game puts you in the role of a Guardian – essentially an immortal space warrior who protects the remnants of humanity from various dangers, such as hostile alien races.
Central to the game are not only the battles but also the loot and character progression. You will experience cool adventures on different planets, blast countless aliens and various space monstrosities, and collect new weapons and gear.
Your character becomes increasingly powerful and learns new abilities.
Everything you should know for getting started with Destiny 2: New Light
This is what the guide contains: Destiny 2: New Light offers a plethora of content and is quite complex in places. Additionally, much has changed with New Light and the new Shadowkeep expansion. This can easily overwhelm new Guardians at the beginning:
What should I do first?
What should I pay attention to at the beginning?
With this guide, we aim to answer your questions and make your first steps in the world of Destiny 2 easier.
The character creation – This is how your journey begins
What you should know about choosing a class: At the beginning of your journey, you should create your Guardian. You can choose between 3 classes:
Hunter
Titan
and Warlock
The most important things about classes and races in Destiny 2:
First of all – none of these classes are better or stronger than the others.
The choice of race does not matter at all – neither story-wise, nor for gameplay.
The classes differ only in their special abilities, which have different strengths and can shine in various situations:
The Titan is the classic frontline fighter
The Warlock is a kind of space wizard
and the Hunter is basically an agile rogue.
Each of these classes has different focuses, the subclasses, with which you further specialize.
When choosing your class, you can decide based on your gut feeling about who you want to play. You can also create up to three Guardians per account. So if you want to try out each class, that’s no problem.
What you should pay attention to when creating your character: However, keep in mind that you cannot change your appearance (head) after character creation. So take your time with the appearance of your Guardian.
More about the classes & abilities can be found in the beginner video by Nexxoss Gaming at minute 2:46. The video is linked at the end of the article in full.
You wake up in the Cosmodrome, fight your way through the ruins to your ship, and then fly to the Tower of the Last City on Earth.
What’s up with the Tower? It is a social space from which the game will unfold for you. Here you can take on various quests from NPCs that will gradually open up the world of Destiny 2 for you. This will give you access to more locations and activities.
You can find an overview of your active quests and bounties (smaller tasks) under the “Quests” menu item in the navigator. The NPCs are also marked for you on the Tower map. You can also see immediately in the game when they have a quest ready for you.
Your first quests in the Tower of Destiny 2
This is how you unlock additional content: First, for example, NPC Ikora Rey gives you the task to explore the European Dead Zone on Earth.
To do this, select Earth in the navigator and fly there. There, you look for the planet-specific NPC (marked on the map with a quest symbol) from whom you will receive further minor tasks.
This way, you earn XP, Experience Points, and with these experience points you gradually unlock the next location – in this case Titan (the planet, not the class). Then it continues in the same principle.
In addition, one of the first tasks is to play Strikes (a kind of mini-dungeons). As you level up, you unlock the Nightfall Strikes, a harder version of the Strikes, where you can get better gear.
Also, you need to complete an introduction to the Crucible, the PvP area of the game.
In short: Pay attention to the offers and quest markers of the NPCs in the Tower and on the planet. Complete these quests bit by bit. This way, you explore all areas of the game, level up, and are gradually introduced to the endgame, where you can take on challenging group activities like raids.
You can find detailed information on leveling, quests, and the map in Nexxoss Gaming’s video guide at minute 5:49.
This is how it continues once you are settled in
This is how you can enjoy the story of Destiny 2 in a targeted manner: Once you have unlocked the planets and gained some experience with quests and bounties, it is advisable to play the three previous campaigns from years 1 and 2. This way, you can better understand the story of Destiny 2 and are guided through some locations in an orderly manner.
You can do this with NPC Amanda Holiday in the Tower hangar. There, you can activate the three campaigns either all at once or step by step. Here, the following order is recommended in order to experience the story chronologically:
The Red War
Curse of Osiris
War Mind
What’s up with the Power Level?
This is what the Power Level does: The Power Level shows how strong you are. It also determines which activities you can effectively tackle.
Each piece of equipment has a certain Power Level. The Power Level of your character is determined by the average of all the values of your equipped gear – that is, weapons and armor pieces.
Activities have a certain Power Level that is recommended for them. Enemies also have different Power Levels. If you are far below, you will have problems with the activity. Against enemies, you will do less damage and take less damage yourself. If you are too underleveled, you may not be able to damage some enemies at all.
For example, if you see an enemy with a red skull on their health bar, it’s time to run.
What you should still know about the Power Level: All players of New Light and all players of the “full” version of Destiny 2 started at Power Level 750. This is currently, in October 2019, the new base level in Destiny 2.
One of your goals now is to increase your Power Level as much as possible by acquiring stronger gear (with a higher Power Level).
Up to Power Level 900, the so-called soft cap, it should go relatively quickly. Until then, most of the items found will be a Power upgrade for you.
From 900 to the powerful cap of 950, the sources for loot that advance you in Power Level become less. Many of these are weekly limited and only available through challenging activities or challenges.
From 950 to the hard or pinnacle cap of 960, only a few sources provide progress. These are the most difficult activities in the game.
This is how you continue to level up beyond the level cap: With the seasonal artifact, you can continue to level up beyond the hard cap – essentially indefinitely. However, the additional Power Levels achieved through the artifact only apply for the respective season and will be reset at the end of it.
Different quality in loot: The equipment you get during your adventures has various rarity or quality levels. As the rarity level increases, so does the number of perks (bonuses) that a piece of armor offers.
White gear (common) is the worst level. This is only available at the beginning of the game
Green (uncommon) armor is somewhat better but should be replaced as soon as possible
Blue (rare) gear can accompany you through a significant part of the game
Purple (legendary) items will then be the main components of your gear.
Yellow (exotic) equipment pieces are the rarest items in the game and also bring unique, powerful bonuses. You can only have one weapon and one armor exotic equipped at the same time.
These engrams contain the best equipment – Exotics
The sources for loot: Gear generally comes from various sources such as
Further information on Power levels and the rarity levels of loot can be found at minute 10:44 in Nexxoss Gaming’s video guide. Information on the most powerful loot and where exactly to find it can be found from minute 17:26.
Things to consider in combat
What should I consider with weapons and how do I use them properly? In combat, various weapon categories are available to you. This refers not to the numerous weapon types like handguns, assault rifles, or rocket launchers, but to the slots in which the individual weapons are carried. There are
Kinetic weapons (white ammunition), have no damage element, effective against enemies without shields
Energy weapons (green ammunition), effective against shields, especially of the same element
Power weapons (purple ammunition), the strongest weapons in the game, effective against shields, especially of the same element
There are three elements in total for weapons, abilities, and enemy shields
Arc (blue)
Solar (red)
Void (purple)
So if you have an enemy with an Arc overshield, energy weapons or power weapons with Arc damage are the most effective. By the way, you usually get the ammunition from fallen enemies. The packages are also color-coded accordingly.
What you should also know about your enemies: Enemies have different toughness levels: To know which enemies you are facing in your respective adventure, we list here what distinguishes the enemy categories:
Enemies with red health bars are the easiest
Enemies with red health bars and an overshield are slightly harder
Enemies with orange health bars are called Majors. They have more health and are harder to defeat.
Then there are bosses and mini-bosses with yellow health bars. These enemies are particularly tough, have a large health pool, and are difficult to defeat.
For more information on combat and enemies, you can check out Nexxoss’s video at minute 13:18.
Gather materials diligently
What’s up with the materials? In Destiny 2, there are massive amounts of materials. These include
Planet-specific resources like Dusklight Shards from Earth or Simulation Seeds from Mercury
Weapon parts
Legendary Shards
Improvement cores
Upgrade Modules
and more
You can find them on planets, by dismantling equipment, as rewards, or you can obtain them in exchange for other materials. Without going into too much detail, materials are important, and you will need them often. So collect them wherever you can. They are needed for many things in Destiny 2 – whether enhancing your armor in the context of Armor 2.0 or as currency for purchasing certain items.
If you have too much of some of these resources, you can often exchange them for urgently needed materials with NPC Spider in the Tangled Shore.
You can learn more about the materials at minute 16:10 in Nexxoss Gaming’s video guide.
The beginner guide in video: This initial information should make your entry as a freshly baked Guardian in the world of Destiny 2 easier. You can find more details in the video from Nexxoss. Here you can watch it in full if you wish:

Ghost Recon Breakpoint has only been playable for some players for a few days. Nonetheless, there is currently a topic that dominates many discussions in the community: microtransactions.
How does the shop work? Players can purchase “Ghost Coins” in various bundles from the Ghost Recon Breakpoint shop. The price is €4.99 for 600 coins (about €0.83 per 100 coins) up to €79.99 for 12,000 coins (about €0.66 per 100 coins).
With these coins, players can buy various items to customize their Ghost.
Some of the cosmetics from the shop.
What can be purchased in the microtransactions? The Ghost Recon Breakpoint shop is quite extensive. The offerings include:
Blueprints for weapons and attachments
Cosmetics such as tattoos, costumes, and camo skins
What bothers players about the shop: Many people in the community are annoyed by the fact that there were so many items for purchase that could advance a character. One user posted screenshots of the shop on reddit on the first day, and many users complained about the offerings.
They perceived the purchasable items as a form of “pay-to-win,” meaning having to pay to make the game easier to beat. They especially drew comparisons to the PvP mode Ghost War, where players would have an advantage if they could simply buy all skills.
Skill points were initially in the shop – now they are not.
This opportunity, however, was already removed from the shop on the very first day after release.
Are “Games as a Service” the problem? Some reddit users see the problem generally in the way games function as a service in the current market:
Games as a Service is a terrible trend in the industry. It encourages these microtransactions as something that justifies “free” content updates.
Breakpoint actually already has a season pass, which leads to Ubisoft being accused of double dipping. It simply feels like Breakpoint was built “around the shop.”
The shop “helps no one”
What the opposition says: Many fans of the game who are annoyed by the harsh criticism see no problem at all with the microtransactions and the shop specifically. Nothing for sale would provide an advantage to a player, and character stats are disabled in PvP, meaning everyone starts on equal footing.
Additionally, everything that is available for purchase in the shop is also unlockable:
You can buy every scope, every weapon, and every upgrade from the store with Skell Credits. It’s not hard to find any blueprint, and it really doesn’t make sense to buy the packs unless you’re lazy.
In other reddit posts, players share screenshots of shop items they have found in the world. According to many players, the shop does not offer any distinct advantages, but merely the opportunity to save time.
Players are robbing themselves of fun: However, some users see this time-saving as something not worth striving for. Since Breakpoint primarily takes place in single-player or coop, progress is something that belongs to the game. Purchasing it robs oneself of playtime.
Also already disappeared: boosters.
The dispute is even causing the lines between fans and critics to harden further:
Watch out, the people here love spreading misinformation and claiming everything is hidden behind a paywall and there is no other way to get it. When you debate those folks, their inner man-baby comes out, and they accuse you of being a Ubi developer.
Five years ago, Destiny launched and quickly gathered a large fanbase. We wanted to know what personal stories and memories the community has with Bungie’s MMO shooter. Read about the unique moments that many guardians especially remember!
Kids, how time flies! We have been playing in the sci-fi universe of Destiny for over five years now. By now, most fans of the Bungie shooter have probably switched to Destiny 2 and are currently enjoying the new expansion Shadowkeep .
Either way, the anniversary is a good reason for us to let the community speak up. Because it is they who have made the Destiny franchise great.
5 years of Destiny: The community speaks up!
To get a good cross-section of opinions, we searched our private PSN friends list for Destiny players and also listened online, including launching a call in the largest German Facebook group Destiny Deutschland .
Additionally, we also inquired via Twitter about the highlights that are still unforgettable for Destiny players.
The response was incredible! We are impressed by the passion and dedication with which Destiny players have processed their experiences in written form or shared them with us in personal conversations. However, it was also noticeable that most guardians especially fondly remember Destiny 1.
Apparently, many fans believe that the first Destiny was the better game (and perhaps still is). Furthermore, it should be noted that Destiny 2 had a rough start and some players dropped off at launch. The game polarized even among the MeinMMO readers after release.
A note: Unfortunately, we could not consider all submissions, chats, and conversations due to space constraints. However, we believe that our selection is representative and that every Destiny player can remember very similar moments.
We thank all participants for their time and effort. Now enjoy the highlights of the Destiny community!
The Glass Chamber: Brilliant debut raid in Vanilla Destiny
One of the biggest highlights of Destiny 1 for many players was the first raid “The Glass Chamber“, which offered a dense atmosphere, beautifully designed boss fights, and tricky jumping passages.
Legendary: Final boss Atheon from “The Glass Chamber”.
Especially the final boss Atheon has burned itself into the memories of the players. “When the last shot fell, Atheon finally fell after many hours, and we could grab legendary or even exotic loot… That was the most frustrating but at the same time the coolest experience of my gaming career,” says Diego H.
Experiencing MMORPG mechanics in first-person perspective was a really great feeling – even though I belonged to the famous ‘Forever Level 29’ club thanks to the luck-based loot system.
Lars K.
Crota solo: Popular challenge
In general, the raids from Destiny 1 were often mentioned by the community as highlights. This includes “Crota’s End” from the first expansion “Darkness Awaits“.
While the Crota raid could indeed be a tough nut in the later released heroic difficulty, it was also designed quite compactly. Many players did not see this as a disadvantage, but rather as an advantage: Well-coordinated fireteams completed it in half an hour and then blessed their alts with loot. Furthermore, “Crota’s End” was practically the only Destiny raid that you could also completely conquer alone.
The Crota raid: Short but popular.
For Artur S., it was a great goal at the time to complete the Crota raid solo: “It was April 9, 2015 (…). I took my best weapons, mainly the Icebreaker, my beloved Hunter, and plunged into the dark abyss. Everything went super. Of course, there were a few unnecessary deaths, for example, from cursed thralls.
At the end, I stood before him: Crota, son of Oryx. It was a strenuous fight. The biggest difficulty here was finding the perfect moment to become invisible. After some attempts, I succeeded. Crota fell, and I received my future favorite weapon: ‘The Last Word'”.
After over eight hours, Crota fell in hard mode, and finally the ‘Crota’s Curse’ dropped. That was around 4 am. I joyfully shouted loud enough to wake up my entire apartment building!

Kingsfall Raid: Joy after First Kill of the Witches and Oryx
Besides the Crota raid, “Kingsfall” from the XXL Destiny expansion “The Taken King” was very popular within the community. This long raid shone through sophisticated mechanics and required particularly good team play.
Especially with the Witches, as Thomas S. vividly remembers: “Towards the end of Year 2, I was so practiced in the Oryx raid that I could occasionally help complete the raid with completely foreign groups. With one group, we struggled for hours to reach the two Witches, the last test before boss Oryx. They defeated us a few times very closely, it was late at night and patience was becoming an increasingly rare commodity within our team.

Then things got really dramatic. We fired at the second Witch and already heard her death scream. However, she simultaneously unleashed her final offensive and killed our entire team in one hit. The respawn countdown began, the screen went black, and the exhausted groans of my teammates echoed through the party chat.
Then I pressed ‘LB’ and ‘RB’ simultaneously, triggered a familiar hiss, and the screen brightened again. My Warlock activated ‘Revive’, came back to life, and caused ecstatic screaming in the party. The evening was saved, the stage completed. We decided to save Oryx for another night.”
“We spent over six hours at Oryx plus Challenge back then because we all wanted the helmet and the ship. In the end, it worked out,” recalls Christiano S.
Nothing feels as good in gaming as completing a tough raid in a group.
Daniel L.
Even more dramatic is Daniel L.’s description of his Oryx first kill: “I remember how we went on for hours and hours, and it was always only minor things that caused our attempts to fail; we got Oryx down quite a way.
And then, just before we could enter the final damage phase, one of the platform players made a big blunder (four people had to stand on platforms while one dealt with adds below and one had to take care of a jumping part, note: editor): He fell off the platform without enemy interaction simply because he took a small step too far forward. Phase gone, attempt failed; there was a brief period of embarrassed silence in the chat, somewhere between 1 and 2 AM.
Take this, Oryx!
He apologized multiple times, even though no one blamed him. Someone just said: ‘No matter, we will do this now!’ Two attempts later, Oryx was down – and I can still remember how I jumped up in joy and relief!”
Interestingly, the exotic vendor Xur already offered the weapon in the second week after the release of Destiny. However, at that time, no one knew that the weapon would develop into the overpowering all-rounder in the first year of Destiny, which is why many saved their precious coins instead.
When Xur had the Gjallarhorn for sale, it was better to grab it!
This would unfortunately backfire for some guardians, as Xur did not have the Gjallarhorn in stock again for months and thus one was dependent on loot luck to obtain the weapon.
The Gjallarhorn. Finally, it was mine! Thank you, Crota.

A major loot misfortunate was – aside from the author of these lines – also Daniel L., who played hundreds of hours of all endgame activities of Destiny, but simply never got the pleasure of the weapon. The joy was even greater when one day it finally happened.
“By now, two expansions for Destiny had been released, and I had fought my way through literally more than a hundred raid runs without any Gjallarhorn. About a month before the release of ‘The Taken King’, a usual raid with clan friends. ‘The Glass Chamber’, done countless times, nothing special anymore, but always fun.
The moment the Gjallarhorn dropped: priceless!
Shortly after the Templar, before the Labyrinth of Gorgons, a chest that could always drop exotics. Every Destiny veteran knows it. I remember exactly how I said: ‘It won’t drop anything.’ And just one second later, the Gjallarhorn icon appeared at the top right of my screen!
Controller thrown away, jumped up from the sofa, cheers in the living room! Two weeks later, the “Horn” was available again for purchase from Xur. But who cares? The moment was worth it!”
I believe that after the tenth Atheon kill, my Vex Mythoclast finally dropped. I hit the table with joy so hard that it broke apart.

The social component: One for all, all for one
Many players of Destiny 1 and 2 have emphasized to us the strong cohesion within the community and mention this as another highlight of their guardian career.
“For me, one of the highlights of the Destiny games is meeting many different people who all have the same love for the game,” says Alexander S. about the Destiny community. “My clan, for example, is a mixed bag, but we all stick together super well.”
Destiny has an incredibly vibrant and helpful community.
Markus F. can also confirm this. “Especially in the first two years after the release of Destiny, the community was fantastic. I always found like-minded players on Facebook to play heroic strikes, raids, or PvP together.”
“Destiny united people,” says Christiano S. as well. “Kurds and Turks play together, Serbs and Croats. Everyone in harmony, with respect, and for the same goal.”
All the rest: Skolas, The Trials of Osiris, and Co.
The highlights mentioned so far are, of course, just a small part of what Destiny players connect with their favorite MMO. Because there is so much more.
For example, “The Prison of Elders“, a challenging three-player activity that Bungie introduced with the second expansion “House of Wolves“, along with the popular PvP event “The Trials of Osiris”.
“For most players, the ‘Trials of Osiris’ must have been the highlight of the second Destiny add-on, but for me, it was the showdown in ‘The Prison of Elders’ with Skolas,” says Lars K. “This raid substitute for three players was not only mechanically demanding at the time, but also the coordination in the smaller fireteam was a real challenge. To this day, I have never been happier about a victory in any boss fight than I was back then with Skolas!”
Skolas from “The Prison of Elders” was a great final boss.
For Daniel L., however, visiting the Lighthouse for the first time was “one of the hardest-won triumphs in Destiny.” This exclusive social space could only be visited (and enjoyed epic loot there) if you had achieved nine victories in PvP in “The Trials of Osiris” in a three-person team.
“With a team of two buddies who played significantly better than me, we often got to seven or eight wins, but we were always missing that damned last one. Deeply frustrated, I had already given up. A week later, it was finally time: I had suffered for it – and was so happy when I could finally see the Lighthouse with my own eyes!” recalls Daniel L.

In addition, many players also remember numerous little things that made Destiny 1 special: the dance parties in the Tower, Sparrow races, or the box of raisins from Eris during the first Halloween event (which was even picked up again the following year as a running gag).
But even smaller in-game events like “Weapon Day” or the Faction Rally, where you could earn glory and honor for your faction and be rewarded with appropriate gear and weapons, are still missed in Destiny 2. “I hope that such small but fine additions will find their way back into Destiny 2 soon,” says Lars K.
The Sparrow Racing League in Destiny was a welcome change for many players.
And what about Destiny 2?
Speaking of Destiny 2: As mentioned at the beginning, the community is apparently emotionally much stronger connected to the first Destiny. Nevertheless, there are also players who can find a lot of positives in the successor.
“I’m glad that I can reach max level in Destiny 2 without any problems without raiding,” explains Christiano S. “And also, a lot has been done for solo play – I don’t have to dedicate myself fully to the game to make progress.”
For Lars K., the better story of Destiny 2 is a highlight: “The narrative quality of the Vanilla campaign was significantly better than that of Destiny 1. I will probably never forget the first time I saw ‘The Last City’ from afar while listening to the song ‘Journey‘ from the official soundtrack. To this day, a real goosebumps moment!”
