In Borderlands 3 there are skins and items for your weapons. However, it is very unclear where these are equipped. We will tell you how to apply the cosmetics.
Borderlands 3 has a lot of cool skins and items for your weapons. Go to Crazy Earl in your home base, the Sanctuary, and exchange Eridium for the skins and the items. You can also sometimes find skins and items on your own.
Since it is unclear how to actually equip cosmetics, we have a step-by-step guide for you here.
Equip Weapon Skins
How do I equip my skins? If you have decided on a fancy skin, you need to do the following:
open your inventory in the backpack
move the cursor over the weapon you want to have a skin on
click on the menu item “Inspect”
a new menu opens with the “Object view”
click on “Change Weapon Skin” – the option is located at the bottom right
now you will find a menu with all your weapon skins that you own
select a skin and click on “Apply Skin”
… and voila, your weapon will shine in a bright pink! If you like pink… of course, there are other options.
If you go to “Hide Menu” in the object view, you can take a nice photo
Attach Items
How do I attach items to my weapons? You have a cool item and want to equip it. To do this, you need to do the following:
open your inventory in the backpack
select the empty box next to your weapon
a menu opens where you can find all your items
if you select an item now, it will appear in the box next to the weapon
the item will now be attached somewhere on the weapon
by clicking “Inspect” and then “Object view”, you can see what the item looks like
My little fish is now dangling on the scope of my fancy pink sniper
How do I get Eridium for the skins? Crazy Earl has a lot of cosmetic items that you can buy with Eridium. In the mid-game, especially watch out for challenges on the map that reward Eridium.
Fortnite has been telling a story since the end of Season 3. In Season 10, it seems that past events are repeating. Will we finally get the clarification of the story and will we finally receive a new map?
In Fortnite, the story seems to be continuing. To understand what has happened in Fortnite so far, we summarize the first chapters of the story.
Act 1: Comets, Visitors, and Cubes
The first storyline of Fortnite began with Season 3 and ended with Season 6 in a major event.
This is how it continued in Season 4: Superheroes and villains came to the map. They fought against each other and destroyed one of the buildings in Tilted Towers. However, it turned out to just be a backdrop for a movie.
In Week 7 of S4, the Visitor descended from a capsule in the meteor.
He sneaked into the villain’s hideout and built a rocket there. The rocket was launched and caused a big rift in the sky.
The Visitor launched the rocket, which then brought the rift and the cube.
This is what happened in Season 5: A lightning strike hits the map from the rift in the sky. From the impact, Kevin, the purple cube, is created.
Kevin rolls across the entire map until he eventually sinks into Loot Lake. The water turns purple and players can bounce on it.
Kevin the Cube
This is what happened in Season 6: The cube rises from Loot Lake and becomes the floating island. Runes appear on the map. The floating island flies from rune to rune until it eventually returns to Loot Lake.
The cube charges up strongly until it eventually explodes, transporting players into another dimension: the Butterfly Event.
With Season 7, the theme of Fortnite suddenly changed. It was about “Ice” and “Fire.”
Season 7 took a break from the story: It is Christmas and winter is coming. Above the new castle at Polar Peak, an ice sphere hovers. The Ice King is trapped in the sphere.
The Ice King can break free from the sphere and conjures a powerful snowstorm that blankets the entire map.
Season 8 tells the story of Ice and Fire: The Fire King, trapped in an ice cube at Polar Peak, can escape. He roams the entire map and gradually thaws himself. The Fire King creates a volcano and settles there.
In the middle of Loot Lake, there is a large vault. Players from around the world must cooperate and complete tasks for the vault to open. After completing the final task, the vault opens and players can enter to choose which item should be returned to the game. When the players return from the vault, the volcano erupts. It destroys Tilted Towers and Retail Row.
Act 3: Things Get Strange
With Season 9, it seemed that a new storyline was beginning. However, it now seems that Act 1 is continuing.
In an iceberg at Polar Peak, a monster is trapped. The monster manages to break free and takes the Polar Peak Castle with it. It wanders through the map and devastates parts of it. Then it disappears into the sea.
A theory about this: A popular theory among Fortnite players regarding the current events in Season is:
We have traveled back in time, before the meteor struck. The Visitor has exited the capsule and wants to repair the destruction of the map. He has set up in Dusty Depot and is building the Rift Beacons there to restore the old locations. However, the restoration of the places is not going as intended.
The places are indeed being brought back, but in a different form:
It is possible that the Visitor will rebuild the rocket and that it could destroy the entire map. We could then start Season 11 with an entirely new map in Fortnite. Some new leaks that have recently surfaced suggest this, bringing new “Points of Interests.”
What do you think? What theories do you have about the Fortnite story?
On Monday, September 16, the first monsters from Generation 5 will arrive in Pokémon GO. Our author Noah believes that the generation should be released all at once.
Aside from the 1st generation, which has been there since the start, the release of the 2nd generation was the best for me. It came out almost entirely at once.
That’s exactly what I wish for the 5th generation as well. It would benefit the game and certainly create a bigger hype than if it were released in waves.
That’s why a complete release would be so good
This is how the release of the 2nd generation went: The day of the release of the 2nd generation was my most beautiful experience in Pokémon GO. I checked the app again in the evening and suddenly saw shadows in my Nearby-list. The 2nd generation was there.
German Hearthstone Grandmaster Seiko made a serious blunder in a match. This was because he was also participating in a qualification tournament for Auto Chess. Some Hearthstone players are astonished, finding his behavior disrespectful.
Who is Seiko? The Hearthstone Grandmaster’s real name is Linh Nguyen, and he is currently studying mathematics in Berlin, as Blizzard knows.
He has earned about $27,000 with Hearthstone (via liquipedia) and is one of only 48 Grandmasters in Blizzard’s card game. Grandmasters are an elite, hand-picked group of players who dominate Hearthstone esports and play their own tournaments and series: There are only 16 in Europe.
When they play against each other in their formats, a lot of people watch and expect to see Hearthstone at the highest level.
This card is central to the Paladin deck.
Grandmaster so distracted that he didn’t notice the blunder
What was the blunder? Seiko played a Paladin deck in Hearthstone that is built around the minion “Shirvallah”.
The “Win Condition” for this deck is to bring a copy of Shirvallah into the deck using the card “Baleful Banker” after playing it.
Later, the Paladin attempts to finish the match with the card “Holy Wrath”: This spell deals damage equal to the cost of the drawn card. If the card costs 25 mana, that’s a lot of damage and usually enough to end the match. Especially if you can play two Holy Wrath and deal 50 damage in one turn.
The “Baleful Banker” mixes a copy of a friendly minion into the deck.
There are a few other subtleties to note with the deck, but it generally follows this plan:
prolong the match by healing yourself and building armor while eliminating the opponent’s minions
draw many cards, your own deck needs to be empty for the combo
now you use the Baleful Banker to ensure one or more copies of Shirvallah are in the deck
and then use Holy Wrath to draw Shirvallah, deal 25 damage to the opponent’s hero, and win in one turn

But Seiko overlooked the copying of Shirvallah; he had played Shirvallah, but did not use the Banker, even though he had it in hand.
Now the opponent could kill Shirvallah on the next turn, and all hope was lost for Seiko to win the game. Because he simply had no win condition left.
This was the reaction: The strange thing in the Twitch clip was that Seiko did not seem to notice this blunder at all, but was fixated on something else that was to his left.
The two casters, Sottle and ThatsAdmirable, could hardly contain themselves over this terrible mistake of the Grandmaster: This is unacceptable.
When Seiko then looked back at the Hearthstone board, he realized his blunder and was also shocked by what had happened to him.

What’s behind it? After the match, it came out that Seiko was simultaneously playing the game “Auto Chess” on another screen. He was apparently in a qualification match for a tournament for 1 million US dollars.
Seiko played Hearthstone at Grandmaster level and Auto Chess at the same time.
“If he doesn’t appreciate it, let’s make others Grandmaster”
This is how the community reacts: There were some angry tweets. Such behavior is an “insult” to Hearthstone and the Grandmaster program. It shows that he does not take Hearthstone seriously. Others should move up to these “coveted” Grandmaster spots.

Especially because there are so few Grandmasters and this format is still relatively new and controversial, the anger seems to ignite that one of the privileged is so careless with his privilege.
Grandmaster says: I thought I could play simultaneously – but I couldn’t
This is what Seiko says: He said he could not imagine that the situation would escalate like this. He had been playing Auto Chess for a while. He would have been used to multitasking and wanted to take that risk.
Seiko thought he could play both games at the same time and didn’t need much attention for Auto Chess. That was his mistake. He misjudged the attention that Auto Chess requires.
Although he was very much looking forward to the Auto Chess tournament, ultimately it was the wrong decision. He has now learned that he cannot play both games simultaneously.
Currently, the Preseason Invitationals are taking place, the first official eSports tournament by EA and Respawn in Apex Legends. Many different teams are participating, but already it stands out: One specific combination is being played repeatedly and often wins.
This combo often wins: In almost every match of the Preseason Invitationals, one of the professional teams plays a combination of the three legends:
Wattson
Pathfinder
Wraith
This combo has also often been played by stronger players in previous tournaments, and usually, it is this combo that can secure the victory. The new legend Wattson has probably already been nerfed for this reason. Let’s take a look at what makes the combo so strong.
This is how professionals win in Apex Legends
What makes the combo so strong: With this combination of heroes, players have the freedom to move to almost any position on the map, barricade themselves there, and if necessary, even disappear quickly.
Pathfinder allows the entire team to choose a position even in higher areas. Wattson can effectively block this, and Wraith provides an escape route if the situation becomes too critical.
Pathfinder plays an important role.
In general, the combo is based on security, mobility, and aggressive action. It combines defense and offense, leading teams to victory.
Wraith is ideal for dismantling enemy positions and repositioning, but can be quickly taken out by watchful enemies without strong support.
The abilities of the respective legends almost completely offset each other’s weaknesses in this combination.
What tactics can I learn? Professionals usually follow a process when they play this combination. It always runs the same or similarly and can be hard for opponents to counter:
Pathfinder sets up his zipline to bring the team to the desired position.
Wattson secures the zipline and possible passages with electric fences. She then sets up an Interceptor Tower to protect the position against thrown projectiles and recharge shields.
The entire team fires at enemies from the secured position.
If the position is overrun or the ring closes in, Wraith opens a portal to safety while the others hold the position or provide covering fire.
Once the team has to abandon a position, this tactic is simply repeated at a new location. Small houses with few entrances are particularly well-suited, as fences can be easily set up here while there is also natural cover.
Small houses can be easily turned into bunkers.
A significant advantage of this combination is also Pathfinder’s passive ability to predict the next position of the ring through scattered devices. This allows positions to be secured that can be held for a longer time instead of having to give them up soon.
Additions to the pro combo
What weapons are being used? In an impressive clip, the team Misfits demonstrates the combo in action. They achieved a total of 20 kills at the end – a third of all players.

Three of the utilized weapons stand out particularly: The Peacekeeper (a shotgun), the Wingman (a pistol), and the Alternator (an SMG). Peacekeeper and Wingman serve as “sledgehammers.” Both weapons have few shots but deal powerful damage that can quickly end a fight when aimed well.
Are there any more tricks? Two particularities can be observed in the clip. Firstly, the Misfits notably use the Alternator through its attachment specifically to remove enemy shields. They then switch to take out the enemies.
Secondly, they use Pathfinder’s zipline offensively in this situation. The round has progressed to a point where the ring only offers a small combat area. The Misfits take advantage of the sudden appearance with the zipline from above.
Another trick could also secure the round for you if you master it:
The release of FIFA 20 is approaching. However, the game will not be released on a single date, but rather on several days depending on the edition and subscription service, so we will clarify the most important questions regarding the launch. The schedule for EA Access, Origin Access Premier, and the Standard Edition, Champions Edition, and Ultimate Edition.
When does FIFA 20 start? The official release date of FIFA 20 is September 27, 2019. However, many players will start a few days earlier because the Standard Edition will be released only on September 27. With all other editions and subscription offers for FIFA 20, you can start earlier.
How can you play FIFA 20 early? Here are the release dates on which FIFA 20 will be released according to the schedule:
September 19, 2019 (September 18?): Early access via Origin Access Premier
September 19, 2019: 10-hour early access with EA Access and Origin Access
September 24, 2019: Early access with Champions Edition and Ultimate Edition
September 27, 2019: Release of the Standard Edition of FIFA 20
Play FIFA 20 first with Origin Access Premier – PC only
What is Origin Access Premier? It is a subscription service that gives you access to a large collection of EA games, and you can play new games – like FIFA 20 – first. Premier costs 14.99 Euros per month or 99.99 Euros per year.
For which platform is it available? Only for PC.
When can you play FIFA 20? According to the EA site, it starts on September 19, 2019, via Origin Access Premier. However, the fifauteam website expects a start on September 18 around 5 PM. Last year, an “early start” was possible with FIFA 19 through Origin Access.
The special thing about Origin Access Premier is that you can play the full version of FIFA 20 unrestricted on PC. If you can afford Premier, you can gain advantages in FUT 20 right away.
Play FIFA 20 early with EA Access and Origin Access – PS4, Xbox One, PC
What are EA Access and Origin Access and how much do they cost?
Origin Access is a subscription service exclusively for PC that costs 3.99 Euros per month or 24.99 Euros per year. This gives you a 10-hour trial version of FIFA 20. Your progress will carry over to the main game if you purchase it.
EA Access is a subscription service for PS4 and Xbox One and costs the same as Origin Access. It provides a 10-hour trial version of FIFA 20. Your progress will carry over to the main game if you purchase it.
For which platforms is the trial version available? Through the subscription services mentioned above, you can access the 10-hour trial version on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
When can you play FIFA 20? Starting September 19, likely around 5 PM.
Note that under EA Access and Origin Access, early access is limited to 10 hours. Additionally, you need to purchase FIFA 20. However, everything you play in the trial version will transfer. So you can earn a little head start.
Early Access with the Champions Edition and Ultimate Edition
What are the Champions Edition and the Ultimate Edition? These are more expensive editions of FIFA 20 that secure you a 3-day early access as well as extra bonuses like packs for FUT 20.
FIFA 20 Champions Edition – 79.99 € on PC (89.99 € on PS4 and Xbox One)

When can you play FIFA 20? With these two editions, it starts on September 24, 2019. If you pre-ordered digitally, the start should happen at midnight.
What is the Standard Edition? This is the cheapest edition of FIFA 20, which offers the least pre-order bonuses and does not provide early access. It costs 59.99 Euros for PC and 69.99 Euros for PS4 and Xbox One.
For which platforms is the edition available? For PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
When can you play FIFA 20? Starting September 27, 2019. If you pre-ordered digitally, it should be around midnight.
FIFA 20 for Switch: Yes, FIFA 20 is coming for the Nintendo Switch but in a heavily reduced Legacy version, missing the new features.
Is there FIFA 20 for PS3 and Xbox 360? No, FIFA 19 is said to be the last FIFA game for the last-gen consoles.
New features in FIFA 20
What’s new in FIFA 20? The biggest new feature in FIFA 20 is the Volta mode, which brings street football back to the FIFA series. Additionally, EA Sports has implemented numerous innovations in Career Mode, FUT 20, Kick-Off mode, and Pro Clubs.
With revised gameplay and a substantial license package, including many new Bundesliga stadiums, FIFA 20 aims to attract football fans this year.
The most important innovations in FIFA 20 are summarized here:
In Borderlands 3 there is a clever Easter Egg from Destiny 1. It refers to a running gag from the community and the infamous poor drop rate for good gear in the early days of Destiny 1.
What Easter Egg is it? One of the missions in Borderlands 3 takes players to the area Skywell-27 to defuse a laser. If you look closely in the bottom right of the map, you will encounter an enemy named “Dinklebot”. It is a small flying robot.
You will get into a fight, and the Dinklebot will revive the enemies until you take him out yourself. As a drop, you will receive a legendary “Loot-o-Gram” from him.
Bring the Loot-o-Gram to Crazy Earl, and you will get a random reward, which usually turns out to be a rather poor white weapon.
It is possible that Dinklebot does not appear on your first visit to Skywell-27. Players have reported on Reddit that saving and reloading the game can help in this case.
You can see what it looks like in the game here. Caution, it also contains spoilers for Borderlands 3:

What is behind “Dinklebot”: This reference refers to the early days of Destiny 1. “Dinklebot” was the name players gave to their Ghost back then. The reason is that the Ghost was voiced by the actor Peter Dinklage (link goes to Wikipedia) from Game of Thrones.
His performance was occasionally somewhat stiff, leading to funny moments like the worst line from Destiny 1 and the nickname “Dinklebot”. The name stuck, even later when the voice of the Ghost was taken over by Nolan North (link goes to Wikipedia). He was, by the way, referred to as Nolanbot.
Fan-made Ghost shell created as a tribute to Peter Dinklage as the voice actor. It is not available in the game.
The Dinklebot’s revival of enemies obviously refers to the Ghost’s ability to revive players when they fall in battle.
What is behind the “Loot-o-Gram”: This is also a reference to the early months of Destiny 1. Veterans of the game will remember that drops from legendary and exotic engrams could be very frustrating.
The troll Cryptarch became a meme and a synonym for bad drops
It was not guaranteed that the Cryptarch would actually pull legendary gear from a legendary engram. Therefore, bitter jokes circulated in the community about the poor drop chances of the engrams.
As a result, most players receive white gear from this supposedly legendary Loot-o-Gram. However, some report that they actually received a legendary drop. The probability for that seems to be low.
The collaboration between Final Fantasy XIV and Nier Automata takes the form of the raid “YoRHa Dark Apocalypse”. Here is what we know so far about it.
What is YoRHa Apocalypse? The new 24-man raid from Final Fantasy XIV will come with patch 5.1 “Vows of Virtue, Deeds of Cruelty” and is expected to be released at the end of October.
It is based in its story and design on the popular spectacle fighter Nier Automata. In it, the androids from the special unit YoRHa fight against the hordes of the aliens’ robot army to save humanity.
The raid has been designed so that even players who are not familiar with the game can still have fun with it.
What are the contents of the raid? The story of the raid seems to revolve around the character 2P, with FFXIV director Yoshida confirming that several original characters from Nier Automata will also appear in it.
It will directly connect to one of the several endings of Nier Automata and link it with the world of Final Fantasy XIV.
The first area is called “Copied Factory”:
Its design is heavily inspired by the first zone “Abandoned Factory” from Nier Automata
The name “Copied Factory” is likely a reference to the area “Copied City”, which has symbolic significance in Nier Automata
The FFXIV team has designed specific enemies for the raid that are reminiscent of the robots from Nier Automata and aim to convey the feel of the game:
Fans speculate that the Nier raid will take place in the world of The First, which was introduced with Shadowbringers, and not in the original world of FFXIV. The reason for this is two dwarf NPCs that appear in a questline in Kholusia and are visible in a screenshot of the raid.
Structurally, YoRHa Dark Apocalypse will likely be built similarly to the previous 24-man raids, with 4 bosses and mechanics spread among the three groups of players:
The arena is divided into three platforms, one for each group from the alliance raid.
Each platform of the arena in the picture will have its own mechanics that players must master to survive.
Who is 2P? Not much is known about 2P as a character, as it is actually a color variation of the Nier protagonist 2B. She first appeared as a guest character in the beat’em’up Soulcalibur 6 and will be available as a Bring Arts figure starting September 16.
The name 2P comes from “Player 2”. This is how the alternative skin of a character is normally referred to in beat’em’up games when both players choose the same character.
2B and 2P as they appear in Soulcalibur 6
2P has black hair and white clothing, contrasting with 2B. Since the director of Nier Automata, Yoko Taro, is known among fans for his extravagant and unconventional ideas, it would be typical of him to develop a “blank doll” into a standalone character.
Who is working on YoRHA Dark Apocalypse? The director and writer of Nier Automata, the eccentric Yoko Taro, and producer Yosuke Saito are supporting the FFXIV team in the development.
Nier fans can expect that the story of the raid will have a close connection to the story of Nier Automata. Taro emphasized during the producer livestream for FFXIV that connoisseurs of Nier Automata will have more fun in the raid.
Nier Automata fans will find the box on the right very familiar…
The popular composer of the Nier games, Keichi Okabe, has also written new music specifically for the raid. The new tracks combine music from Nier with that from FFXIV.
An example can be heard in the video above. It is a mix of the song “Weight of the World” from Nier Automata and the main theme from Final Fantasy (and it is awesome).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RicuOslk6W0
Yoko Taro is known for incorporating unexpected twists and surprises into his games, so we can look forward to what this collaboration has in store for us.
In GTA Online, the time trial Little Seoul Park for the RC Bandito is active. You can earn over 100,000 GTA Dollars in just one minute. In our guide, we show you how easy it is.
This week, the race “Little Seoul Park” is active. You have one minute and ten seconds to reach the finish line. If you make it on time, you will receive 101,000 GTA Dollars. Given such a low time investment, that is quite a high reward.
What is the difficulty? The time requirement in these races is always tight. As soon as you have a major accident or get stuck at a point, you may no longer make it to the finish line on time and have to start over.
Here you start the race: Also go to the purple remote control on the map. Walk into the marked area to start the race. You can see where the start is located in the following screenshot:
What should you consider? In this time trial, you will drive from checkpoint to checkpoint. Within the marked area, you will be shown how tight the upcoming curve will be. An arrow means that the curve is easy to take. Three arrows indicate a sharp curve.
You have little time for the race, so avoid accidents
There are people standing around in the area, so it’s best to avoid them
Pay attention to the arrows that indicate the severity of the curve
Video guide: To familiarize yourself with the track, you can watch this video from GTA-Series that we are embedding here.

The vendor reset refreshes new items in the inventories of vendors in The Division 2 weekly. The fact that not all clan vendors and items are available without switching clans annoys many players. A developer from Massive recently provided a hint on Twitter about how to end the so-called clan hopping.
What is the problem with clan vendors? The vendor reset of The Division 2 always takes place on the night from Friday to Saturday. During this time, the inventories of the various clan vendors are restocked. It’s frustrating when the item you really want is not available from your own clan’s vendor.
Like the players, the clan levels up to level 30. Experience points are collected for the clan through completed activities and projects, and there are bonuses for members or elements for the clan emblem depending on the level.
As the clan levels up, the offerings of the clan vendor change repeatedly. This means that there are many different clan vendors with varying offers, reachable only at certain clan levels.
What is clan hopping and why is it so annoying? To collect all worthwhile items from the vendor reset, it is often necessary to switch clans.
Some agents find this quite frustrating since membership in a clan often has something to do with identification. In closed clans, returning often also requires confirmation from one of the clan leaders.
“NothingButSkillz,” a currently very active The Division 2 YouTuber, shares in the following video, in English, three reasonable suggestions for how the annoying clan vendor problem could be resolved.

And thanks to Nikki Kuppens, we now know that Massive will be working on the availability of clan vendor items.
Have you shopped today? Whether with or without clan hopping – taking a look at the vendors’ offers can always be worthwhile. Here you can find our current overview of the vendor reset from 14.09.
What do you think is the best solution?
But those who want the best gear each week are forced to hop from one clan to the next.
This is how the vendor reset problem is likely to be addressed: On Twitter, Nikki Kuppens, Senior Game Designer at Massive, gave a telling hint about how the problem might be solved. A user complained that, for example, the clan vendor at level 15 can offer better items than a vendor at higher levels. Nikki responded:
That’s more a vendor item availability issue than an item generation issue, so we have some options for resolving that.
The developer says: “That’s more a problem of the availability of vendor items than a problem of item generation – therefore, there are some options for how it can be resolved.” Thus, they give a fairly concrete hint about the direction in which the clan vendor will go.
This could be inferred from the statement: The statement could suggest that items will continue to be generated for the individual clan vendors as before. However, they should become better available for players.
It is also possible that fewer items will be available, but that they will be easier to access.
What does the community think? A good portion of the agents do not agree with the current system. The fact that lower-level clans can generate better items particularly does not sit well.

The release date of the FIFA 20 Web App is approaching. When does Early Access start, what about a download, and what new features and rewards await you? All info about the FUT app can be found here in the overview, so you can be the first to start trading in Ultimate Team.
The advantage of the Web App: Thanks to the Web App for PC and the Companion App for iOS and Android, you can manage your Ultimate Team 24/7, no matter where you are. With these applications, manager tasks in FUT 20 can be completed without having to turn on the console.
For many FUT players, the Web App and the Companion App are part of the Ultimate Team experience. Additionally, you can earn bonus rewards through the apps.
What about a download of the Web App for FUT 20? The Web App is a browser application that does not require a download. You simply log in to the Web App. However, the Companion App, the FUT 20 app for mobile devices, does require a download via iOS or Android.
[toc]
When does the FIFA 20 App for Ultimate Team start? Release, start time
When is the release of the FUT 20 Web App? The Web App starts on September 18, 2019. This has now been officially confirmed, we were correct in our prediction this year as well.
September 18 is the Wednesday one week before the release of FIFA 20, which takes place on September 27.
When does the Companion App start? The Companion App is basically the Web App for smartphones. In recent years, it has always been available one day after the release of the Web App. Therefore, it should go live on September 19 for FUT 20.
At what time does it start? This is not disclosed by EA Sports. We expect the start in the evening hours, between 7 PM and 11 PM.
When will the FUT 19 Web App end? A few days before the launch of the FUT 20 Web App, the FUT 19 Web App will be taken offline. This happened on Friday, September 13.
Important: These release dates refer to Early Access!
How to get Early Access to the FUT 20 Web App – Rewards for Veterans
Here’s how to get Early Access: Only FUT 19 players returning to FUT 20 will receive preliminary access. This means that FUT veterans can create their FUT 20 club before anyone else, namely from September 18, open their first packs, and manage their club.
These are the requirements for Early Access:
You must have created a FUT club in FIFA 19 before August 1.
This FUT 19 club must be valid until the start of the FUT 20 Web App.

This Sunday, September 15th, the Community Day with Chelast takes place in Pokémon GO. There are 3 new things about this Community Day.
What’s it about: The Community Day is a monthly event that generally runs the same way. There is a special bonus and a Pokémon appears more frequently, including as Shiny.
The last Community Day with Trasla hinted at it, and there will also be some new features for Chelast that will at least change the details of the event.
Look forward to these 3 changes
This is changing with the eggs: It was the case with Trasla, and now Chelast will benefit from it too: During the event, you will receive eggs everywhere that contain the event Pokémon.
You can obtain Chelast from 2 km eggs
In the case of Chelast, these are 2 km eggs. For Trasla, they were still 10 km eggs, as you usually find this monster there.
It can be worth it, because from eggs you can get Chelast with good IVs to let it learn the exclusive attack. Also, you have a chance at a Shiny there.
This is changing with the raids: This was also seen with Trasla, but now we know that Niantic will likely do this regularly during Community Days. You will also find Chelast during the event time in raids.
You can also spend Raid Passes for Chelast during the Community Day
Here you also have good chances for Shinys or specimens with good IVs.
However, everyone has to decide for themselves whether to invest a Raid Pass for this and catch less Chelast in the wild. Here the cost-benefit factor is not really high.
This is changing with the evolving: What is new for the first time on a Community Day is the time for evolving. Until now, the event Pokémon could still be evolved up to one hour after the event ends to learn the exclusive attack.
In Fortnite there is now the legendary secret skin. To obtain it, you need to complete challenges. We will show you the locations of the giant cube, the rift above Loot Lake, and the landing capsule.
What is this challenge about? To unlock the secret skin of Season 10, you need to complete various tasks of the series: “A Meteoric Rise.” One of these challenges is: “Touch a giant glowing cube, enter the rift above Loot Lake, and find a landing capsule in a meteorite.” We will show you where to find these.
Giant Glowing Cube – Location
Where do you need to search? You can find the giant cube, also known as Kevin, at the floating island. When you are underneath the island, the air will pull you upwards. In the ascent, you will steer directly towards the cube and collide with it.
Rift Above Loot Lake – Location
Where do you need to search? The rift is located directly above Loot Lake. When you are there, you need to build up to the rift and then enter it. If you are in the air, you can simply fly into the rift.
Landing Capsule in a Meteorite – Location
Where do you need to search? The meteorite is located near Dusty Depot. You need to land on the meteorite and walk through the entrance at the front. Inside the meteorite, you will find the landing capsule on the left side.
You do not need to complete this challenge in a match; you can take your time and visit one location after another. Once you have visited all items and completed the task, the challenge will be marked as complete.
What else is there to solve? There are still 6 more challenges that you should complete. For example, you need to visit different rift zones or consume unstable items with various effects.
Here is also a guide on where to find the secret star of week 7 S10:
A 19-year-old Casey Viner has now been sentenced in the USA. He was involved in a swatting incident that resulted in an innocent person’s death in December 2017. The tragic incident originated from a bet regarding Call of Duty: WW2, involving $1.50. Viner stated that he thought the swatting was a harmless joke.
This is the verdict: The 19-year-old Casey Viner was sentenced to 15 months in prison by a district court in Wichita, Kansas, on Friday.
He is also prohibited from engaging in any gaming activities for 2 years after serving his sentence. During this time, he will be under supervision.
The prosecutor and defense had requested a 2-year sentence that should have been suspended for probation. According to their request, Viner would have been required to undergo 6 months of house arrest. Both the attorney and the defender also requested the gaming restriction.
However, the judge stated that incarceration was necessary to reflect the seriousness of the crime and to show the public that the system works.
How does the boy accept the verdict? It is said that the 19-year-old swallowed hard several times and looked dejected when he heard the verdict.
He looked up at the gallery in the courtroom where his parents were sitting: his mother left the courtroom in tears, and his father buried his head in his hands.
Viner expressed that he feels terrible about what happened. He never intended for such a thing to occur. He thinks about it every day.
Viner’s attorney stated that the boy himself had been swatted just 20 days before the incident. He deeply regrets the act. Viner had lost 10 kilograms in recent months and contemplated the severity of his actions, which resulted from something he thought was a harmless joke.
Viner had just turned 18 two weeks before the swatting incident.
The two argued, and Viner decided to “swat” the 20-year-old after he challenged him to “try something.” In swatting, an emergency situation is falsely reported via phone with the intent that the police respond with force.
However, the 20-year-old did not give Viner his actual address but rather a false address. Viner then provided this address to Tyler Barriss, a 26-year-old known as a swatter, who made the call.
Barriss falsely claimed a hostage situation, creating the impression of a life-and-death scenario.

This call led to a police response in Wichita, Kansas, where an innocent person lost their life. The 28-year-old Andrew Finch lived at the false address that Gaskill had given to Viner.
The police arrived at Finch’s house, set up an operation, and demanded that the alleged hostage-taker come out. Finch emerged from the house and was shot because the police believed he had made a suspicious movement.
Viner later admitted that he had attempted to cover up the incident in hopes of evading punishment. However, a forensic investigation of Viner’s iPhone had found a deleted message in which he said: “I was involved in someone’s death.”
This is the current situation:
The 19-year-old Casey Viner has now been sentenced to 15 months.
The 20-year-old Shawn Gaskill has apparently made a deal with authorities – which could result in him going free. Reports say NBCNews.
The family of the deceased has sued the city of Wichita and the police officers. The responsible prosecutor there decided not to file charges against the officer who fired the shot at Finch.

Who is the Visitor? Those who remember Season 4 know who the original Visitor is. After the meteor strike at the beginning of Season 4, one could see a metal capsule in the middle of the meteor. The Visitor emerged from this capsule in the 7th week.
After that, he set out to build a rocket and launched it. The rocket caused a huge tear in the sky, thus initiating Season 5.
How do you get the skin? This was only announced today. You need to complete 7 meteor ascent challenges and be a Battle Pass owner to unlock the skin.
Leaked skins from update 10.30:
New cosmetics have also been found in the data from update 10.30, which are expected to be available in the item shop soon. Data miner VastBlast leaked an overview of the skins.
Destiny 2 will not receive weapon 2.0 in the near future, but there will be an important change regarding weapon mods.
Where does the information about the weapon mods come from? Bungie stated in the current “This Week at Bungie” blog that weapon mods will function differently in the future and the system will be altered. With the launch of Shadowkeep, the weapon mods will be revamped.
Weapon modifications will fundamentally change
What will change about the weapon mods? Weapon modifications will soon no longer be listed as consumables.
Instead, you will be able to use them as often as you want after the Shadowkeep release. First, you need to unlock a modification. After that, it can be applied freely. However, the modification must be in your inventory.
All mods in the inventory will soon be converted into unlockable mods.
Banshee-44 is your contact for weapon modifiers
Why is Bungie making weapon mods consumables? The developers want to give Guardians more freedom in their playstyle through the unlockable mods – similar to armor 2.0.
Players should experiment more and play with different mods more often. You can go through and test various combinations for your weapons to see which works best. However, you can only use a weapon modification on one weapon at a time.
If you want to use a specific modification in another weapon, you need to remove that mod from the current weapon or have the modification a second time in your inventory. However, both weapon modifications will not be consumed.
How do weapon mods currently work? Modifications enhance specific aspects of your weapons. These include magazine size, recoil behavior, and extra damage against certain enemy groups. They are currently considered consumables in Destiny 2. If you buy or receive a modification, you should think carefully about how you use it.
After using it once, it disappears from the inventory. Therefore, you have to reacquire or earn popular modifications in order to use them again. Those who want to experiment have had a hard time so far.
This is what the Guardians say about it: On Reddit, this topic seems to interest many players from the community. The top comment on the current Bungie blog post praises this change and receives a lot of support. Some Guardians are discussing the new weapon mods there and are already looking forward to the change.
What do you think about the unlockable weapon modifications? Do you welcome this change as well?
Players who want to play Borderlands 3 with different hunters will also have to watch the long cutscenes at the beginning multiple times. But can they be skipped?
Can you skip cutscenes in Borderlands 3? No.
Currently, there is no built-in in-game option to skip the cutscenes in Borderlands 3.
However, there is a trick on PC that allows you to skip at least the long intro with Marcus.
Skip intro on PC
Warning: You use the workaround at your own risk! This option carries a certain risk, as it may mess up your save files.
Here’s how it works: Open the game folder of Borderlands 3 on your PC and look for the file named “MARCUS_INTRO”. It is responsible for playing the long cutscene at the beginning.
Rename it, for example to “MARCUS_INTRO_BACKUP” and save it. If you now start the game with a save file, the intro with Marcus will be skipped.
Is there no trick for PS4 and Xbox One? Unfortunately, nothing is known about that yet. Perhaps this option will be added later via a patch – but there have been no comments from the developer Gearbox on this.
Further tips and tricks for Borderlands 3 can be found here:
Does WoW Classic remain a blockbuster or was it just a flash in the pan? We want to know how you still feel about Classic after more than 2 weeks.
In the meantime, most players of World of Warcraft Classic should have spent plenty of time in the “old” Azeroth and have already climbed a few levels. But how does the MMORPG from 15 years ago feel now after the first weeks have passed and the hype is slowly cooling down? Have players already thrown in the towel during the leveling phase or are they still as excited as on the first day?
So far in Classic: Although the first hours after the launch of Classic were a complete chaos because tens of thousands of characters crowded the starting areas, things went surprisingly smoothly. After a few hours, the realms calmed down and most players could quest. Although there were often not enough opponents for the mass of players, the layering helped to alleviate the problem.
Blizzard responded by opening more and more new realms and even increasing the capacity of individual realms, allowing more players to play at the same time. Additionally, there are now even free character transfers that allow players to flee from particularly crowded realms to new servers.
How do you like WoW Classic after 2 weeks?
Since the launch, a little over two weeks have passed, and the queues on most realms have calmed down. We now want to know how the mood in the community is. Are you still thrilled? Or has leveling become too boring for you and you’ve turned your back on Classic again? To find out, please vote in the survey.
With Unchained, a new version of the MMORPG ArcheAge is set to be released without Pay2Win. Many players are looking forward to it, even though their concerns have not completely disappeared.
What is ArcheAge Unchained? The German publisher Gamigo aims to release a Buy2Play version of ArcheAge with Unchained. This version is supposed to eliminate Pay2Win and a subscription model, as seen in the current ArcheAge.
What are the issues with ArcheAge? The need for a new version of ArcheAge arises from the current setup and reputation of the sandbox MMO.
Although ArcheAge is Free2Play, a subscription is needed to access housing and some other game features.
There are also some Pay2Win elements in the shop, which even the former publisher Trion Worlds has openly acknowledged.
“The best MMORPG, if it weren’t Pay2Win”
What is special about ArcheAge? Many players describe ArcheAge as one of the best MMORPGs. Reasons for this include:
the beautiful game world
extensive housing and crafting
strong focus on community and guilds
exciting PvP battles
the freedom to do as one pleases
The sandbox MMORPG features PvP in many areas of the open world, which may not appeal to all players. However, those who are not afraid of fighting other players will find challenges everywhere.
What do players say about ArcheAge? Among the news about Unchained, our users like “Feigenstaub” rave:
The housing and crafting with this extensive farming system is unmatched. Exploring with the glider through various biomes to find a hidden forest on a mountain. There, chopping wood for my hut is something I’ll never forget.
Turning that fun into trade goods and transporting them across the world with self-crafted vehicles alongside my guild, hoping to make big profits – while not getting robbed <3
However, even outside of our comments, many players are feeling positive. For instance, Reddit user Slyhidden comments on the announcement of Unchained:
All of this sounds wonderful. They just need to deliver and stand by their words.
If they do, ArcheAge might have a chance for a great comeback.
Can Gamigo keep its promise?
What are the players’ concerns? Slyhidden also addresses one of the biggest fears of fans in his post. Although Unchained is supposed to be completely free of Pay2Win, trust in such promises is low.
This is partly due to the publisher Gamigo, which purchased Trion World in October 2018 and manages many games that already have a Pay2Win reputation. Doubters can be found abundantly on Reddit and also in our comments.
What about multi-accounts? Further concerns arise regarding multi-accounts. Gamigo allows players to have 3 accounts for ArcheAge Unchained, but having more will lead to bans.
These accounts cannot be played simultaneously. This also leads to bans, as stated in a livestream. However, some players fear disadvantages, especially regarding building plots for their houses.
The hope for a successful ArcheAge remains: That ArcheAge without Pay2Win could indeed excite players is evidenced by numerous positive comments. Our community member Amensama writes:
I stopped playing for exactly this reason – when I found out that the game supports Pay2Win. I pulled the ripcord and left.
If ArcheAge can finally release a clean version without Pay2Win after all these years, then I will give the game another chance.
As the author of this article, I also hope that Unchained remains free from any Pay2Win. This would be a positive sign for the entire MMORPG genre and could help restore trust in future games.
In addition to Unchained, there is more good news for ArcheAge fans. Patch 6.0 with many new features is set to be released this fall:
