There is lively discussion about the Champion Combo of Assassin and Void in Teamfight Tactics. It is currently the strongest combo in Patch 9.18, and if played correctly, it cannot be countered. We will show you how to win with this combo.
What combo are we talking about? This guide is all about the Void creatures and Assassins. Due to the absolute damage of the Void creatures and the burst from Assassins, it is currently extremely strong.
However, those who think that the combo is quite easy to play may fall into a trap that many in LoL Chess do.
When should you play the combo? Before deciding whether to collect Void creatures and Assassins, an important prerequisite must be met:
You must receive a Spatula from the first or second carousel round (right at the start or in Stage 2-4).
This item is extremely important, because you absolutely want to turn Kassadin into an Assassin with Youmuu’s Ghostblade. This way, you will have two champions who are both a Void creature and an Assassin at the same time with Kha’Zix.
You should also pay attention in Stage 2-4 that not too many other players are also collecting Void creatures and Assassins. If you are more than 3 who are going for this combo, you should immediately change your strategy, as you will not get important champions to level 3 otherwise.
What has the highest priority in the combo? If you have secured Spatula as an item, then there is a good chance that the combo will pay off. Now it is important to get an overview of the key points:
For champions, it is important that you get Kassadin, Kha’Zix, and ideally one more Assassin at level 3.
Kassadin is your carry and should receive Youmuu’s Ghostblade along with a Rapid Firecannon (2x Recurve Bow). The third item is debated, but many swear by Infinity Edge (2x Giant’s Blade).
If you get two Spatulas, Rek’Sai or Cho’Gath should also receive Youmuu’s Ghostblade.
This is how to collect the champions and items correctly
Stage 1: Collect pirates, Void creatures, and Zed, sell champions for interest (that is, to reach 10G/20G, etc.) when necessary/possible.
Stage 2: Make your board weak unless you manage to play with three pirates. Your goal is to collect as much gold as possible through a losing streak and be the first to get items in the carousel.
Stage 2-4: Collect a Giant’s Blade or a Recurve Bow in the carousel.
Stage 2-6: Roll new champions until you have two level-2 champions. Use 3 Assassins to defeat the NPCs.
When to roll and when to save gold?
The Mid Game:
Stage 3-2: Roll until you get Kassadin to level 3 or run out of money. Meanwhile, collect all Zeds, Pykes, Kha’Zixes, and Rek’Sais that you find. After this round, save gold again.
Stage 4-1: Roll until you are strong enough. You are usually strong enough with two or three level-3 champions. Kassadin has the highest priority, followed by Zed, Kha’Zix, and then Rek’Sai.
From Stage 4-2: When you are strong enough, level up to level 6 sometime in the following rounds and then start collecting Evelynn and Rengar/Katarina.
The End Game:
Stage 5-1: Here you should level up to level 7 and have 3 Void creatures and 6 Assassins on the board. From here on, try to get your champions to level 3.
A higher level only makes sense to a certain extent. If you reach level 8, use Gnar as another Wild champion that fits Rengar.
Avoid items like Zephyr or Phantom Dancer in large rounds and use damage items or Dragon Claw for your carries.
If the new rollout of the champions does not go disastrously, you should take home the victory with this strategy.
If you have any further questions about the gameplay or comments about the guide, feel free to write them in the comments.
The Twitch streamer Shroud is known for his outstanding skills in shooters. In the beta of Modern Warfare he again had some strong situations where he could prove his skill.
What’s happening with Shroud right now? The Twitch streamer Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek is known for his high skill in shooters. The former CS:GO pro plays games like PUBG, Apex Legends, or even Modern Warfare and regularly demonstrates his talent.
Here Shroud shone: As Dexerto reports, Shroud was able to “activate his human aimbot again” during the stream on September 19.
In a Headquarters match on Gun Runner, he showcased an impressive play. Armed with an FR 5.56 assault rifle, he quickly took down five opponents. In the following clip, you can see how he does it:

The first weeks in FIFA 20 Ultimate Team are important for building a strong team. We show you 10 tips on how to optimally start the FUT season.
The FUT 20 season has started: On September 19, many players started in the Ultimate Team mode of FIFA 20. On this day, early access became available through EA Access and Origin Access.
So that you don’t trip right away in Ultimate Team, here are 10 tips to help you succeed in the new season.
1. Practice the new gameplay in the demo in advance
That’s why you should practice the new mechanics: You can gain a gameplay advantage at the start of FIFA 20 by diligently learning and internalizing the new game mechanics and skill moves. Because not every player will delve into them.
So if you can already do more on the field than your opponent, the advantage is on your side.
What you should practice: You should ideally learn the new game mechanics introduced in FIFA 20. Once you master these, you are ahead of many players. Important mechanics include:
The new chipped pass (2x pass button)
The revised close dribbling (with L1)
Revised timed finishing (shorter window for perfect timing)
Additionally, you can show off with a new celebration. Many opponents probably won’t have mastered this yet.
2. Before the release: The Companion or Web App
That’s why the web app is important: The web and Companion App have already been released. And even if you don’t have access to FIFA 20 yet, you can already generate some coins using the web/companion app.
Do the following there to earn some coins and packs:
Immediately open starter packs and other reward sets you receive
Sell the contents or use them for Squad Building Challenges
Search the market for bargains for your starter team or SBCs
What are season tasks?The new season tasks replace the manager tasks and the EA catalog from previous years. Here, you can complete tasks, level up, and thereby unlock game content.
Focus on completing the foundational tasks at the beginning to unlock packs and coins.
This is how you level up: Earn experience points by completing tasks. This way, you level up and receive additional rewards.
The first season runs until November 8, 2019. After that, season 2 will begin with new tasks and rewards.
That’s why you should sell: At the beginning, you’re starting with 0 coins and can’t afford any players. Therefore, it’s most sensible to sell all the cards you received in the starter packs first. You probably didn’t receive many cards that fit well into your desired team.
So turn the cards into coins to invest in your desired players. However, you should keep good cards that fit into your team.
That’s why you should use loan players: For many players, the loan cards provided by EA at the start may seem uninteresting. However, especially at the beginning, you should definitely rely on loan players. Because for every position filled with such a card, you initially do not need to buy a player.
This way, you save coins at the beginning and can play the loan cards to complete season tasks. Once the loans expire, the prices of the cards you need to buy should have dropped a bit. And you should have earned some coins along the way as well.
This is how you earn coins with SBCs: You can make good coins with a little effort and pack luck through SBCs. However, not every Squad Building Challenge is worth it.
Which SBCs should I do? Definitely complete the basic SBCs where you can get rid of bronze and silver cards. Challenges that can be solved with cheap gold cards for 400 coins each are often worthwhile.
This is how you complete SBCs: You can find help for SBC solutions on sites like futbin, futhead, or also on MeinMMO. Feel free to refer to these solutions, but try not to buy the players one-to-one. Many people do this, leading to an increase in the price of those cards.
7. Plan your desired team
That’s why it’s important: You should already have a rough plan for your team. Which league do you want to focus on? Should it become a hybrid team? Think about what your team should look like!
Because chemistry plays an important role in FUT. It boosts the stats of your players. And you most effectively increase chemistry by placing players in their preferred positions and ensuring they come from the same country, the same leagues, or even the same club. So think about which leagues and/or nations you want to focus on.
It is definitely advantageous not to be fixed on specific players. Be open and consider all possibilities. Remember that cards with a low overall rating can also be quite strong, especially at the beginning.
Why two teams are helpful: The big advantage of starting the FUT season with 2 teams is that you don’t have to invest money in fitness cards. These are quite expensive compared to a cheap 2nd team!
The trick of having a second team is that you alternate between both teams. One team regenerates while you play with the other. Thus, you don’t need fitness cards.
These modes bring the most: Focus on Squad Battles and Division Rivals. Initially, you should play as many games as possible to earn coins for the matches. The more games you play, the better the rewards on Thursdays in the form of coins and packs.
If you have decided to start the FUT season with 2 teams, then it’s a good idea to alternate between Division Rivals and Squad Battles.
Use your strong team for Rivals and your fitness team for Squad Battles. Even though games against CPU may not be enjoyable for many, the rewards at the start are too important to ignore.
10. Behavior on the transfer market
Here’s how to behave correctly: The most important slogan at the beginning of FIFA 20 is: Every little helps! From all the cards you own and don’t play with, you should make a profit. Use them for SBCs or list them on the transfer market. Even bronze and silver cards. Search your club for consumables you don’t need and sell them. Like emblems or jerseys.
If you are lucky enough to pull a really strong card, don’t sell it right away. Wait until shortly after the official release of FIFA 20 on September 27, as the prices for high-rated cards should increase.
No lazy purchases: When it comes to buying players for your team, always compare prices and don’t buy the first card you see. Stay vigilant and try to obtain the cheapest card so you can save a lot of coins.

CoD Modern Warfare is said to offer a controversial campaign. The ESRB rating now reveals further disturbing content of the game.
How do you know about the content? The new details come from a rating by the Entertainment Software Rating Board – also known as ESRB. This board rates video games based on their suitability for children and adolescents. However, the ESRB rating only applies to the USA and Canada.
CoD Modern Warfare has received a Mature rating. In the USA and Canada, only individuals aged 17 and older are allowed to play the new Call of Duty.
What kind of torture scenes? The rating includes some harsher content. For instance, there is said to be a torture scene in the game where a hostage is tortured by waterboarding. Players can also choose to execute a hostage during a dialogue. But that’s not all. In CoD Modern Warfare, you are said to threaten a family with a gun and witness a hostage exploding due to a suicide vest.
These are some of the reasons why the game is released only for those aged 17 and older. The rating “M” is nothing unusual in the USA and Canada. Games like Borderlands 3 and The Division 2 have also received this rating. Even the predecessor Call of Duty: WW2 is rated for ages 17 and older according to ESRB rating.
This scene is also described in the rating: The already known child soldier mission is described in the ESRB rating. This mission allows the player to take on the role of a child and eliminate enemies. During this, you witness a gas attack where civilians and other children are killed. This has already sparked heated debates about the game.
Why the singleplayer will not be the only controversial part: The story campaign is said to not be the only mode displaying controversial content. The ESRB rating of Modern Warfare mentions that multiplayer badges are said to show images of marijuana.
Interestingly, a special multiplayer aspect is not mentioned in the evaluation – white phosphorus.
The game includes white phosphorus bombs as a killstreak in the multiplayer. This has also led to heated debates among players. These bombs were used in wars against enemies and civilians. Some players therefore find it inappropriate to implement the bombs as rewards in the game.
Many players are currently looking for an EA Access glitch for PS4 and Xbox One in FIFA 20 – preferably with English instructions. But does it actually work?
What is the EA Access glitch used for? Yesterday, on September 19, FIFA 20 launched via the subscription service “EA Access”. This allows players on PS4 and Xbox One to play a 10-hour trial version of FIFA 20. If you then purchase FIFA 20, your progress is transferred to the main game.
Through EA Access, players can gain a lead in the game, which can be particularly exciting for Ultimate Team (FUT 20) when building teams while other FUT fans are still waiting for the official launch.
That is why many players are now looking for ways to extend the 10-hour trial version to gain an even bigger advantage. Because in previous FIFA versions and other EA games, this has been possible through an “EA Access glitch.”
With this, players could play the trial version without restrictions and bypass the 10-hour limit.
Does the EA Access glitch work in FIFA 20? Indeed, it is said that a glitch like this was possible shortly after the EA Access launch on Xbox One, as reported by various players. However, only for a short time. After about an hour, the glitch was fixed.
As YouTuber FUT-Mentor reports, there are currently no longer any ways to bypass the 10-hour limit.
Neither through frequently pressing certain buttons nor by switching between accounts: In the past, several “EA Access glitches” have been discovered that worked in such ways.
However, these glitches for FIFA 20 have been fixed: No EA Access glitch currently works anymore.

This means: Use your 10-hour advantage wisely and then wait for the FIFA 20 release next week on PS4 and Xbox One. We generally advise against using any glitch that gives unfair advantages.
On YouTube, videos have been flooding in for days discussing EA Access glitches and their application, but many have turned out to be “fake.”
However, it is not unlikely that the community will soon find a new glitch that actually works.
Recently, the question was raised in the FIFA subreddit whether anyone had a working EA Access glitch for PS4, with the answer: “No, they are all patched immediately.”
However, through the Web App and the Companion App, you can already be actively engaged in FUT 20 – legally and without restrictions. Here are some exciting resources you might find useful:
Dataminers have found new cosmetics and a city in Fortnite after the update 10.31 that hint at an event with Batman. The event will take place soon. We will show you what we already know about it.
What is this event about? Cosmetics, a city, weapons, and challenges have been leaked by dataminers. All these items point to an event with Batman. In the challenges, one could unlock various items.

Below we show you what we already know about the event.
Gotham City in Tilted Town?
Why would the new city be in Tilted Town? After the update 10.31, a new Rift Beacon has appeared on the Fortnite map. These machines have returned new/old locations in the past: In the last update, two locations were changed.
Now it seems Tilted Town will be affected, as a Rift Beacon has appeared there:
What does the new city look like? The dataminer FNLeaksAndInfo (via Twitter) has leaked an overview of what the city of Gotham City might look like. Here is the overview:

When could this event start? It is still unclear whether there will be an event. However, since the Rift Beacon has already been set up in Tilted Town, it shouldn’t be long before something happens there. Many clues point to an event, but we will surely learn more about it in the coming days.
What do you think? Are you looking forward to the Batman event?
EA has officially introduced the upcoming Season 3 for Apex Legends. Some of the leaks have turned out to be true and more information has been released. We provide you here with all the information we have about Season 3 so far.
When does Season 3 start? On the official page of Apex Legends, the start of Season 3 is dated for October 1, 2019. This corresponds to the timing we speculated about in advance. The Season will likely run for three months again. Its name is “Meltdown”.
What does Season 3 bring? Along with Season 3, several new features are being introduced, including a new legend, a new weapon:
The new legend Crypto appears
The new weapon “Charge Rifle” is coming
The Battle Pass will have new rewards
Ranked matches will be partially reset and more expensive
This hand led to speculation.
Especially Crypto has already been suspected by the community as a new legend since Season 2. Recently, there have been repeated leaks about Crypto that have reinforced the suspicion. Now he is confirmed as the next legend.
Apex Legends Season 3 “Meltdown” – Details on the Launch
This is the new legend Crypto: Crypto is the hacker allegedly responsible for the changes to the map in Season 2, by bringing down Relay. His abilities have not yet been confirmed, but there are leaks in advance with some speculations:
A drone he can use to monitor the air and track enemies
An EMP that damages or destroys shields and devices
Passive detection of objects within 30 meters
Some of these abilities are also shown in a story video that introduces Crypto. His motivation seems to be that he is looking for a “Mila”, possibly his sister:

This is the new weapon “Charge Rifle”: So far, we know from official sources only that the Charge Rifle will be an energy weapon. It would thus be the fourth energy weapon after the Triple Take, the Devotion, and the Havoc.
In Titanfall 2, which Apex Legends is based on in many ways, the Charge Rifle is an “anti-Titan” weapon. It can be charged and fires a strong energy beam after a short time, causing high damage.
The beam has no travel time and does not lose height (“hitscan”). In Apex Legends, the Charge Rifle could thus become a type of heavy sniper rifle that deals similar damage to the Kraber and possibly inflicts increased damage to shields.
Changes in Ranked: The Ranked mode introduced with Season 2 will be slightly adjusted. There will be a “soft reset” that slightly resets your achieved rank, allowing you to play again. There will now be cosmetic ranked rewards.
One of the biggest changes is the tenfold increase of all ranked points to allow for intermediate steps and a more accurate distribution. Additionally, the entry costs will rise starting from Silver League.
Points, on the other hand, are now also easier to obtain. Assists now count as well, and at the end of the match, a multiplier will be added depending on your placement.
This is how points are distributed in Season 3 (Ranked Series 2).
The leagues and the matchmaking with friends remain the same. You can find all changes in the official post by EA.
This is included in the Battle Pass: The Battle Pass is expected to contain over 100 exclusive contents. These include:
Legendary skins
Apex Packs
“New content”
However, what the new contents exactly are has not yet been revealed. As soon as we know more, we will let you know.
The Asia-MMO Astellia will start on the night of September 21st with the head start in the West. But when exactly does it start and how can you participate? We will tell you the starting time and further details.
When does it start? The head start for Astellia begins on Saturday, September 21st, at 2:00 AM German time, in the middle of the night. But to be involved that early, you need a specific pre-order package.
Regular players, on the other hand, will have to wait more than a week before they can also start in the new MMORPG.
What pre-order packages are available? If you already want to be part of the head start, you have the choice of three packages:
Gold Package (39.99 Euros) – Gives you the starting advantage of one day – September 27th at 2:00 AM
Platinum Package (59.99 Euros) – Gives you a starting advantage of four days – September 24th at 2:00 AM
Legendary Package (99.99 Euros) – Gives you a starting advantage of seven days – September 21st at 2:00 AM
All pre-order packages include additional bonuses, including outfits, mounts, character slots, and various buffs like Nordens Gunst, which you can also earn in-game.
How does the regular release proceed? On September 29th at 2:00 AM you can then purchase the normal version of Astellia. This is supposed to cost 30 Euros and offers no rewards.
Alternatively, you can subscribe to the game starting September 29th for 10 Euros per month instead of buying it. However, you will not receive any advantages, and it is more comparable to a kind of test version.
Update September 25th: In the original planning, the release was scheduled for September 28th. Due to issues, the release has been pushed back by 24 hours)
Astellia relies on traditional values
What is Astellia? Astellia is a game from Korea that is based on traditional MMORPGs. You can look forward to:
Is Astellia worth it for me? Astellia has shown in its previous beta phases that it indeed has charm and potential. It doesn’t break any trees and doesn’t bring any surprising innovations, but at the same time, it doesn’t do much wrong either.
Those who like traditional MMORPGs and the graphic style, have no issues with rather monotonous quests, and are not fans of PvP in the open world might find a home in Astellia.
History has shown that “Founder packages” should only be purchased by those who are very sure that they really like the game long-term and can afford this additional expense without pain. Those who still have doubts should simply wait until the release.
Our author Alexander Leitsch has already played Astellia in beta and has given an initial conclusion:
Today, Niantic’s support announced that the legendary raid hour featuring Mewtwo will take place on October 8. The local time of 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM applies again. October 8 is a Tuesday.
What attack does Mewtwo have? On social media, Niantic announced that Mewtwo will only have the attack Confusion in raids until September 23. Trainers are already wondering if Mewtwo will have this attack at the new raid hour date.
In the tweet from Niantic Support, it states that Mewtwo will also have Confusion on October 8.

What happened? On Wednesday, September 18, trainers were looking forward to heading out in the evening and catching as many Mewtwo as possible with other players. However, Niantic’s support unexpectedly announced that the event for the day has been canceled.
The reason was technical problems that occurred early in New Zealand. At the beginning of the event, no Mewtwo raids appeared at all. This only happened with a delay of over an hour, when trainers had already left the gyms disappointed.
In Australia, the event was supposed to start shortly after. However, there were also problems there. The Mewtwo raids spawned prematurely, without being announced by a raid egg beforehand.
What happens next in Pokémon GO? In October, there are already more events alongside the raid hour that you can look forward to.
The Division 2 is making great strides towards the next update and is currently testing the planned changes on a test server. No reason for the developers at Massive not to run a clothing event on the normal servers as well.
What is currently happening in The Division 2? PC players can currently test and evaluate the upcoming changes of the next major Title Update 6 in detail on a Test Server (PTS). The testing phase runs until October 1st, and the update will likely be released a few weeks later in October.
And already next week, a clothing event is supposed to take place, where new outfits can be obtained.
These are the new outfits
The last clothing event “Heatwave” was long awaited and then somewhat disappointing for some agents. The upcoming event will again bring military outfits, but also an outfit for space fans.
These outfits are known for the new event:
Paratrooper – The outfit is inspired by a parachutist and is likely to appeal to agents who want to look more like a soldier.
Aviator – An outfit with a pilot hat and goggles, designed to remind one of a pilot. The brown leather jacket is sure to find some enthusiasts.
Space Explorer – This outfit seems to have been looted from the Space Administration HQ. Unfortunately, you probably need all the parts for it to look good.
Trapper – The trapper outfit is a bit out of the ordinary, as it has nothing to do with flying above the clouds like the other explorer outfits. However, with the moccasins and camouflage elements, this outfit will surely find its fans.
Massive is unsure when the event will start
When does this event start? It is still not really certain when exactly the event will begin. Due to internal communication difficulties, some regional social media accounts of The Division 2 have already posted an incorrect start date – the main Twitter account of the game has not posted anything about it yet.
What is certain so far is that it will start next week before the weekend.
Chris Gansler, Community Developer at Massive, apologized on Reddit for the confusion. However, he could not make a specific statement about when the event will indeed begin.
Hey! Sorry for the confusion here. Due to an internal communication error, some regions have posted about the Apparel event and are using an incorrect date.
Chris Gansler on Reddit
It remains to be seen on which day it will actually start.
What else is happening in The Division? The work and testing for the next major update is progressing well. On September 24th, the next PTS wave will start and bring more innovations to the test servers. We have already summarized the current info with some articles.
Those who feign death as a Hunter in WoW Classic are haunted by several bugs. However, Blizzard is unsure if they can even fix them.
Although World of Warcraft Classic had a long beta period and the release was 3 weeks ago, there are still some bugs and inconsistencies. Especially Hunters are currently complaining that one of their most famous abilities is not working the way they are used to. We’re talking about the ability Feign Death.
What kind of bugs are these? Hunter players report several minor bugs or unusual behaviors when feigning death.
Experienced Hunters, for example, run away from an opponent, turn around mid-run to shoot, and in the next moment feign death, only to quickly place a trap. In many cases, feigning death fails here because the Hunter is turning. “Interrupting a spell by turning the character” is much more sensitive in Classic than it was back in Patch 1.12.
Another bug is that feigning death takes too long to remove the Hunter from combat.
It is also reported that players re-enter combat as soon as the Hunter’s pet is attacked while the Hunter remains feigned.
Why are these bugs occurring? The core issue with this and many other errors is that WoW Classic is not really the “original version” from 15 years ago. Instead, WoW Classic uses the more modern systems from Retail WoW and then tries to simulate Classic. Some small details are lost in the process, resulting in not everything feeling 100% identical, including the Hunter’s feign death.
What does Blizzard say? Blizzard is working to fix the bugs but admits they still do not know exactly what causes the individual issues. At least the “bug” with the sensitivity of turning has been identified by the developers, who are already working on a fix for it.
Other bugs will take significantly more time. The developers have also found such bugs in their “reference client”, which is the original game from Patch 1.12, but the timing is slightly different. This makes it all the more difficult to determine the cause or to establish whether this is the “original behavior” from before.
Until then, Hunters who feign death will likely find that they actually die shortly afterward because the enemies simply do not care about the feign death.
Do you play a Hunter and have you also noticed these bugs? Or did you completely miss it?
In Pokémon GO, a leak shows: The Stardust Event is making a return. Last year, you could gather a lot of Stardust during this event.
This is the date of the Stardust Event: Via Twitter, a Niantic employee accidentally leaked the date of the “Stardust Blast” or “Sternenstaub-Schauer” event.
In the now-deleted tweet, there was an Excel sheet showing the date October 3, 2019, at the bottom for the entry “Stardust Blast”. The image can still be found on reddit. It is therefore assumed that you can go Stardust hunting again in early October. Currently, the Ultra Bonus in Pokémon GO is still running.
That was the Stardust Event 2018
This is what the event brought last time: Last year, a Stardust Event took place in November. It began on the evening of November 6 – about a month later than it seems to be this year.
There was more Stardust for:
Catching Pokémon. The different evolution stages provided different amounts of Stardust.
Hatching Eggs. Depending on the distance, the amount of Stardust varied.
The Ultra Bonus in Pokémon GO is currently running – will the next event come soon?
You need Stardust for: With Stardust, you can perform power-ups for your Pokémon. Additionally, you need Stardust to trade Pokémon.
With Stardust pieces, players could additionally increase their Stardust gain during the event. This variant is likely to be available again this year. The event lasted a total of one week.
There are now new Pokémon in Pokémon GO. We show you here which ones from the first wave are particularly good:
With Shadowkeep, Destiny 2 gets a new raid. There you will earn cool badges. However, you must complete some challenges to do so.
Where do the new raid infos come from? In the current “This Week at Bungie” post, the developers talk about the new raid. In the blog, Bungie reveals which badges Guardians will receive for completing the Shadowkeep raid.
What kind of raid is it and when does it start? You can dive into the new raid starting Saturday, October 5th. The Garden of Salvation, as the raid is called, takes place in the Black Garden – a world beyond space and time. The Black Garden should still be familiar to many Destiny 1 veterans. This time, new challenges await you there.
What cool emblems are there as rewards? For Guardians who take on the challenge of the raid, there will be two special emblems. The timing of the raid completion is important. Depending on when you master the raid, you will receive different emblems for it.
The badges for completing the raid
This is what the first emblem looks like: If you are among the players who manage to complete the raid within the first 24 hours after its launch and defeat the boss, you will receive a special emblem for this achievement:
This is the second emblem: All others will not go empty-handed and will also receive an emblem. You will receive this emblem when you complete the raid after the 24-hour period:
“World First” Competition with Extra Difficulty
What is special about the first 24 hours? A special challenge is activated during the first 24 hours. This makes it slightly harder to complete the raid.
This is how the challenge affects the power level: In the first 24 hours of the raid, exceeding certain power level limits will no longer provide an advantage. In the first encounter, for example, you will not have an easier time if your power level is over 890. This is the limit for the first encounter. In the final encounter, the power limit will be at 920. Anything above that won’t help you.
This rule will be deactivated after the first 24 hours, and higher power levels will help you master the challenges of the raid. Therefore, it is worthwhile to grind before the raid to ensure you are as strong as possible.
What do players receive for the World First run? Also this time, the so-called World First race will take place. Bungie is closely monitoring which fireteam completes the raid first. In addition to the emblems shown above, those Guardians will receive the coveted “Garden of Salvation” raid belt. This is what it looks like:
This serves as an additional incentive to participate in the competition. It will therefore be exciting to see who defeats the boss first and can claim the title.
What do Guardians say about the badges: Some Guardians on reddit are not satisfied with the appearance of the first emblem. They wonder why it looks so bad and even demand that the emblems be replaced. Another Guardian, however, finds the second badge very good. The emblem reminds him of an old Atari game. The reactions in the Guardian community are mixed.
A hotfix for Borderlands 3 has addressed the screams during the boss fight with Troy Calypso. His constant shouting was apparently quite annoying to some players.
What is it about? Boss fights are an essential part of the gameplay in the new shooter Borderlands 3. It adds excitement when the bosses curse or make remarks during the fights.
Some of the bosses show through screams that you are really hurting them. One of the bosses was practically constantly screaming during his fight. He just wouldn’t stop. This really annoyed some players. So Gearbox has now implemented a hotfix that quiets the boss.
There are slight story spoilers ahead. If you don’t want to read that, you can find out about the hamburger weapon in Borderlands 3 here, or further your knowledge on deciphering the Eridian script:
What bothered? If you played against Troy Calypso in Borderlands 3 before the hotfix, you might have noticed an annoying feature. The guy seemed to take particular joy in showing players how much he suffers.
Some players found that funny and joked about the encounter. Others found it irritating or bothersome.
In the following video, you can see the fight against Troy and listen to how much he enjoyed screaming before the hotfix:

In the YouTube comments, a viewer writes “13 minutes of him screaming” and gives a thumbs down.
What the hotfix brought: In the forum, the developers write that they removed the “pain sounds” from Troy in his boss fight. It should now be much quieter for you when fighting against the guy.
What do players say about the screams?
They found it funny: A player writes on Reddit that it is absolutely funny how humanoid bosses scream when you attack them with elemental effects.
He found it best with Troy Calypso and Aurelia. Because they keep throwing strong remarks like “Let’s finish this” or “Let me show you what I’m capable of” and then immediately start screaming in pain.
One player writes that it annoyed him at first, but he now enjoys it.
What annoyed: Other players found these screams not funny at all and wrote (via Reddit) that the developers should remove them. One wrote:
“These are supposed to be epic boss fights and then you hear nothing but “arrgh” “urggh”, “arrgh”, “grrruughhh”, “ARRRRGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!! […]” for 5 to 10 minutes.
With normal enemies, it wouldn’t be so bad, the player writes, because they die faster.
What do you say about it? Did the screaming from Troy bother you, or did you find the fight fun because of it?
By the way, the hotfix also nerfed important loot sources:
In Ghost Recon Breakpoint , Ubisoft has released a very special “Live Action” trailer: Rapper Lil Wayne and his crew play the shooter. Action in the style of John Woo combined with the depths of gamer everyday life creates an amusing mix. Some players are already saying the trailer is better than the beta for the game.
What does the trailer show? 4 players are online together playing Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint. There are two perspectives:
First, you see 4 elite super soldiers in a forest, competently and professionally doing what super mercenaries do: mainly killing nameless enemies like on an assembly line
and you see the players sitting at home on their sofas talking into their headsets. The killer is controlled by him here:
This is how people play.
The trailer shows that 3 players are fully engaged and playing Ghost Recon Breakpoint intensively.
Rap star Lil Wayne, on the other hand, is a terrible teammate who constantly goes AFK, hangs on the phone, or lets his dog eat the headset.
Lil Wayne makes a Leroy Jenkins
This is how the clip begins: While three players are still discussing how to proceed tactically, Lil Wayne shows up late, yells his full name, and then runs into the enemies. A classic Leroy Jenkins.

The best part is: A great moment is when Lil Wayne insists on driving the Jeep that all 4 are in because “he lost his driver’s license and that’s the only way he can still drive.”
But of course, another call comes in and the Jeep goes over the cliff.
This is how the clip ends: In the end, Lil Wayne’s character dies because he blows himself up after a last-minute heroics saving everyone. However, his 3 partners do not revive him, but let him die out of revenge for his AFK antics.
But that was a bad decision because as a replacement Snoop Dogg appears and dives into hordes of enemies Kamikaze-style while asking, “Hey, which button is for the rocket launcher?”
Self-proclaimed gamer and plant enthusiast: Snoop Dogg.
Why is the trailer so good? Two things come together:
First, the gamer everyday life with “players from hell” who constantly go AFK is well captured
On the other hand, the trailer has high production values and looks like a movie
This is how the trailer is received: On YouTube, the English-language trailer has 21,837 upvotes and 2,752 downvotes (via youtube). The comments are:

We all have that one friend who is always on the phone when we play
A new gameplay trailer for the MMORPG Dragon Ball Z: Legend of Time and Space has been released. However, the initial reactions paint a grim picture of the game.
What can be seen in the new trailer? The video shows you gameplay from the MMORPG. In cartoon graphics, which of course remind you of the anime series, you get to see regular MMORPG fare. The hero wanders through a rather barren landscape, talks to NPCs to accept quests, and fights against monsters and other players in an arena.
What are the reactions to the game? The opinions of players are downright devastating. For many, it looks like a generic MMORPG without any distinguishing features. Moreover, the somewhat dreary graphics are not well received, much like the rather sluggish battles.
Many consider the MMORPG as something that is just unnecessary in this form.
Fans of the anime Dragon Ball Z even believe that it looks worse than many mobile games and that the title should be canceled immediately.
Even the first video was received poorly. The impression that many had of the game back then is now confirmed by the new video.

What’s special about it? Dragon Ball Z: Legend of Time and Space was showcased at the gaming fair ChinaJoy 2019, but hardly any magazine reported on it. There is basically no advertising for the title. The game comes from Giant Network, a very large development studio under the Tencent corporation.
Furthermore, Bandai Namco distributed the official license for Dragon Ball Z to the studio.
When is Dragon Ball Z: Legend of Time and Space supposed to be released? Currently, there is no date yet. If reactions remain so negative, Tencent and Bandai Namco might consider whether it makes sense to even release the MMORPG.
The early access version of the battle royale shooter Planetside Arena has launched. Players on Steam are reporting very different opinions.
What is Planetside Arena? Planetside Arena is not an online shooter that lets you compete against each other in large battles like the other installments in the series. Planetside Arena is a battle royale game.
You fight in the role of one of three available classes in a team of three or twelve players for victory, collecting weapons and gadgets and aiming to be the last survivor on the battlefield.
How is the game being received? On Steam, the ratings currently sit at 44 percent, which is “Mixed”.
According to Steamcharts, an average of about 840 players were online at the same time, with a peak of 1,481.
What do players think of the shooter? Opinions on Planetside Arena are highly divided. Fans of the series are disappointed that the title has strayed so far from the other games in the series.
On the other hand, there are those who had nothing to do with Planetside before. These players see a battle royale shooter that is indeed fun and has a lot of potential. Also, the fact that vehicles are basically a must is seen by some as an interesting feature.

What is special about the opinions? The ratings show that Planetside Arena is somewhat dividing the community. Especially fans of Planetside are disappointed and find it hard to engage with the battle royale shooter.
However, those who have had nothing to do with the series before find the title not bad at all. As a battle royale game, Planetside Arena seems to work quite well, just not as part of the Planetside series.
What do you think of the shooter? Have you had a chance to play it?
