The Division 2: Vendor reset on 7.9. – Grab these 2 items

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In The Division 2, today, on September 7th, is the big vendor reset. There are 2 exciting offers that you should check out.

That’s why it’s worth looking at the vendors: Sometimes it takes months to farm the item with the optimal roll that you absolutely need for your build. With the weekly vendor reset, you can speed up the process significantly. Often, the vendors bring items with incredibly strong rolls.

You can take advantage of their offers to optimize your builds and to infuse powerful stats into your gear. That’s why we only show items that are as close to a maximum value as possible – they are really worth it.

All featured offers are available at World Tier 5.

knee pads
Available from the vendor at the DZ West

The exciting offers this week

For the good gear, you should stay in your clan this week. Clan-hopping is not necessary.

  • Knee pads from Gila Guard are available from the DZ West vendor. They have a strong 23.7k armor as well as an attribute bonus of +9.5% Total Armor. Additionally, they come with the powerful PvE talent “Unyielding”, which allows you to deal +10% damage to elites. This is not an absolute amazing roll, but if you don’t have better knee pads yet, you should grab these.
  • Chest piece from Gila Guard is available from the DZ East vendor. It provides a high Total Armor value of 22%. Furthermore, the chest protection has 11,532 health and +246 skill power. With the talent “Empowering”, you receive +10% health on kill. Last week there was a chest piece with a hefty +25% Total Armor during the vendor reset, but this vest from the DZ East vendor is also solid.

This week there are no absolute must-haves in the offers, but with the items above, you can certainly improve some builds.

What’s up with Cassie? The secret vendor Cassie has her reset at different times. With Title Update 4, there was a change, so she is updated only on the night from Saturday to Sunday. We will probably embed a video about her here on Sunday morning – if we forget, you can probably find it on the German-speaking YouTube channel ue40zocken.

In FIFA 19 you now have the last chance to earn a FUT-20 bonus

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In FIFA 19 FUT, the last week of the event “The FIFA 19 Ultimate Team” has started. You can now get the third and final FUT-20 bonus for FIFA 20 .

What is the FUT-20 bonus? If you now complete a task in FUT 19, you will receive a stadium theme as a reward for FUT 20.

In FIFA 20 Ultimate Team, one of the new features is that you can slightly customize your stadium. You can do this with choreographies or stadium themes.

The current weekly bonus in FUT 19 is a “TOTW stadium theme.” How the stadium theme will ultimately look in FIFA 20 remains to be seen. But EA Sports is already showing a preview on this graphic:

fifa 20 stadium theme

This is what you need to do for the stadium theme for FIFA 20

This is how you get the FUT-20 bonus: Currently, an event called “The FIFA 19 Ultimate Team” is running in FUT 19, where you receive outstanding loan players that you must use to achieve specific goals in order to win rewards.

This event runs from August 23 to September 12. Today, on September 6, the third and final event week begins, where you can get new top loan players as well as the new weekly bonus in the form of the stadium theme.

  • Start FUT 19 and grab your “The FIFA 19 Ultimate Team” set from the shop. This week, there are these top loan players:
fifa 19 ultimate team
In addition to these 5 players, you also receive TOTY-Sergio-Ramos and TOTS-Son
  • In the FUT menu under daily tasks, you can switch to the “Weekly Tasks” tab, where the top task is called “The FIFA 19 Ultimate Team.” Through this task, you will get the FUT-20 bonus.
  • Currently, this goal is bugged. It is not displaying correctly what you need to do. Most likely, you need to play in Division Rivals with the loan players from the packs and either score goals with them or simply finish matches. We will update the article as soon as we have the information.
  • According to the futwiz site, you need to score one goal with a Prime Icon Moments player in two separate Rivals matches.

In the previous weeks, you were able to earn popular jerseys from FIFA 19 and a Tiger choreography for FIFA 20 during the event. If you haven’t secured these yet, you’ve missed out.

After feedback from fans, events in Fallout 76 are much better

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

Bethesda has released new information about the upcoming update for Fallout 76. Apparently, not only will many bugs be fixed, but also player feedback will be taken into account. Events will receive a major overhaul: they should become significantly better.

How events are being improved: In a new “Inside the Vault”, Bethesda provided insight into the development of the upcoming Update 13. In this patch, some of the events on the map will be transformed into “public events”.

Public events differ from “normal” events and make them significantly more enjoyable for players who want to participate. If you select a public event on the map, you will receive the following information:

  • How many players are participating in the event?
  • How long has it been running?
  • How difficult is the event?
  • What kind of event is it? For example: boss fight, defense, etc.
Fallout 76 public events

Additionally, fast travel to a public event will be free. This is to prevent players from spending caps only to arrive at an event that has ended during their travel or is on the verge of failing.

Moreover, the rule is: If you die during a public event, you will no longer lose scrap. Instead, the respawn time for each subsequent death will increase by 20 seconds.

A complete list of events that will become public events can be found in the “Inside the Vault” on the official website.

Why the changes? Events were described at the launch of Fallout 76 as a key source for the best loot. Many players were particularly frustrated at the beginning when they arrived at events and could no longer get anything.

Fallout 76 public events 2

Accordingly, players are now happy with the upcoming changes. On reddit, Boostedf150TT writes:

This is a huge step in the right direction if it really works as planned. I wholeheartedly agree with these changes.

What else is changing with Patch 13?

This is what’s in the next update: In addition to the events, Update 13 includes a number of bug fixes that players have also been asking for for a long time. For instance:

The entire update is intended to fix more bugs rather than introduce new features. It is set to release on Tuesday, September 10.

Player levels Dwarven Priest in WoW Classic only via his mobile phone – Here’s how to do it

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

In WoW Classic , a player has reported that he is leveling his Dwarf Priest by controlling it with a mobile phone via Steam Link. This raises questions among players. The reactions to this WoW Mobile are mixed.

This is the clip: A clip has been circulating on reddit since yesterday, showing a Dwarf Priest steadily taking down three Gnolls. The clip lasts 1 minute and 36 seconds.

The Gnolls are defeated one after another as the Priest heals himself.

The interesting part: The Priest is apparently controlled via a mobile phone. It is not the usual control with mouse and keyboard, but a touch board that is being used.

“Personal Classic WoW Mobile”

What the player says: He claims to have created his personal “Classic WoW Mobile” and can play from about 160 kilometers away from his PC.

It runs quite well; there is hardly any input lag, and no significant difficulties arise. He thinks he could even heal a dungeon this way.

To play from such a distance is the only way for him to enjoy WoW Classic. He has so much to do that he can’t find time to sit at his PC for hours.

How did he manage that? In short:

  • He installed “Steam Link” on his mobile phone
  • set up a network
  • added WoW to Steam as a “Non-Steam” game
  • enabled the controller setting on the phone and configured WoW to fit everything – for this, he had to overcome a variety of smaller hurdles

A detailed guide with links and tricks about which settings were changed can be found here in English (via reddit).

Is that allowed? The player cannot guarantee that: He says: It may violate the terms of use of WoW, but personally, he is not interested.

The controversial Diablo Immortal is a mobile game by Blizzard.
  • Others are impressed by the performance: They say that no one would have dreamed in 2006 that you could play something like WoW on mobile.
  • One warns, however: “Buddy, don’t give Blizzard any ideas.”

FIFA 20 includes the 100 best players in FUT, but does not reveal their ratings

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 4 minutes

In FIFA 20, the top 100 players are now officially known. EA Sports reveals their cards in FUT 20 – but without ratings.

Update: Here you can find the article with the ratings of the top 100 in FIFA 20.

What has been revealed now? On September 6, EA Sports started the big, annual ratings reveal. But differently than in previous years. Instead of revealing the top 100 gradually along with ratings, they are now only showing the 100 best players. Their ratings will follow on September 9 – so next Monday.

Today, EA Sports presents a short trailer that illustrates how elaborate the ratings are determined. According to the trailer, players must undergo intensive tests, allowing the values for passing, shooting, dribbling, and so on to be precisely determined. This is, of course, just for fun, but still quite cool:

Destiny 2 removes 4 PvP maps, introduces a completely new one – This is all changing Shaxx

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 3 minutes

In Destiny 2, Bungie shows how Lord Shaxx is changing the PvP experience with Shadowkeep. A completely new map is coming, and 4 old ones will be removed for now.

This brings more variety to the Crucible: Since the Forsaken release a year ago, little has changed in the Crucible. Guardians have been waiting in vain for innovative new features or fresh PvP maps. Therefore, the PvP area of Destiny 2 has been criticized for some time.

With Shadowkeep, Lord Shaxx has had enough of the old Crucible and is throwing a lot out. With each new season, the PvP experience should be a little different from the previous one. For this, the list of PvP maps will be revised – some maps will be removed and are expected to be improved.

The following 4 PvP maps will be removed from all playlists first:

  • The Death Cliffs – a map in the EDZ on Earth
  • Legion’s Gulch – also a map in the EDZ
  • Retribution – a PvP map on a Cabal ship above Mars
  • Solitude – a PvP map on Mars
destiny-2-death-cliffs
The Death Cliffs will soon no longer be in the playlists

Bungie states that – if time allows – they will revisit these maps. The spawn areas, ammunition spawns, and general structure are to be changed so that they return better than before.

Additionally, some maps will be removed from playlists where they could not shine.

  • Equinox will only appear in the modes Breakthrough, Iron Banner, and Scorched
  • Fortress Echo can only be found in the modes Domination, Iron Banner, and Breakthrough
destiny-2-equinox
Equinox

New map reminiscent of the Dreaming City + Frosted Vale

These maps are new in Destiny 2: With Shadowkeep, there will be three new PvP maps for the Guardians.

Two maps from the Destiny 1 era will return in Season 8:

  • Widow’s Court
  • Duskfall

Additionally, there will be a completely new map:

  • Fragment

For the Fragment map, Bungie shows this image. The map is supposed to remind one of a mix between Dreaming City and Frosted Vale :

fragment destiny 2
The new map Fragment

What else is new in the PvP playlists?

These PvP changes are coming: Besides the new maps, there are plenty of changes to the PvP playlists:

  • There are no more Quickplay and Competitive playlists in the Crucible Navigator.
  • A similar experience to Quickplay is now offered by the “Classic Mix” – Here, matchmaking particularly focuses on connection quality. This playlist includes the modes Control, Conflict, and Domination.
  • Competitive is replaced by a 3v3 Survival mode (gives Glory)
  • A Solo Survival playlist is coming (also gives Glory)
  • A 6v6 Control will be added as its own playlist. Here, especially newcomers can have fun, according to Bungie, and find their footing in the Crucible.
  • There will be a playlist for 4v4 and 6v6, in which modes like Conflict, Domination, Iron Banner, Lockdown, or Countdown will rotate weekly.

Your Crucible Navigator will look like this:

destiny new crucible

But that’s not all that the Crucible overseer Lord Shaxx has to offer in Shadowkeep. The elimination mode that many Guardian veterans know from the Trials of Osiris in Destiny 1 returns via Crucible Labs in Destiny 2.

They will test several variants of the elimination mode to find out how this format performs with the new weapons and abilities in Destiny 2.

There’s a new feature in 6v6 playlists: When a Guardian picks up Heavy ammo from a crate, their teammates have 7 seconds to interact with the same Heavy ammo crate and pick up Heavy ammo.

If a sneaky enemy from the other team picks up the ammo first, it will be marked red for you – you will not be able to touch it anymore.

This change is only active in 6v6 modes.

Through these “shared ammo crates”, all players receive less Heavy ammo than from “unshared crates” in 4v4 or 3v3. The amount of ammo you get from it is fixed. It doesn’t matter whether 2 team members or 5 team members interact with the crate.

This treasure hunt in GTA Online saves you money in Red Dead Online

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

In this treasure hunt in GTA 5 Online, you will save a lot of gold in Red Dead Online. We will show you how this works in Red Dead Redemption 2 Online and what you need to know.

What kind of event is this? A major update is coming to Red Dead Online. This unlocks the three roles “Bounty Hunter”, “Trader”, and “Collector”. Normally, unlocking these roles costs 15 gold. However, for the Collector, there is an event related to GTA Online.

Whoever collects all 54 playing cards in GTA Online saves 15 gold bars in Red Dead Online for the collector’s bag. This is the unlock for the Collector role, which you can earn through the treasure hunt in GTA Online.

The effort is worth it. 25 gold bars cost €9.99 in the Red Dead Online shop. This is the smallest package available.

This is how the treasure hunt with the playing cards works in GTA Online

Where should you search? Throughout the entire map of GTA Online, the developers have hidden playing cards. These are poker cards that are noticeable by a glowing effect when you are nearby.

GTA 5 Online playing card found

A total of 54 of these cards are hidden. Collecting them grants you a small amount of chips that you can spend in the new casino of GTA Online. Additionally, you will unlock an outfit.

In our guide, we show you where to find each of the 54 playing cards in GTA Online.

Reward in Red Dead Online – Unlock collector for free

What is the Collector? For the major summer update in Red Dead Online, Rockstar announced three roles that offer you new activities.

Red Dead Online new roles
  • As a Bounty Hunter, you roam the area tracking down characters who are wanted. There is even a prisoner transport involved.
  • The Trader travels through the world of Red Dead Online procuring materials by hunting animals.
  • The Collector scours the map for valuable treasures that he can sell directly. Alternatively, he can also sell complete sets for even more money.

Blizzard warns: Move to Steam with Destiny 2, or you might not be able to play soon

Micha Deckert Micha Deckert Reading time 2 minutes

Some of you must have been surprised today: In an email, Blizzard urgently reminded that Destiny 2 is soon moving from Battle.net to Steam. By the release of Shadowkeep, you need to have migrated your account to the new platform, as the shooter will no longer be available on Battle.net after October 1.

What is this email about? Today, on September 6, Blizzard sent an email to all Destiny 2 players who have previously been on the PC in the name of light. In the email, the studio once again urgently points out that the shooter is moving from Battle.net to Steam with the release of the upcoming expansion Shadowkeep.

This email reminds that Destiny 2 will move to Steam on October 1

When does Destiny 2 move? Destiny 2 will be available on Blizzard’s Battle.net until September 30. After that, Bungie’s shooter will celebrate its release on Valve’s gaming platform Steam.

However, this also means that the PC players among you must have linked their Battle.net and Steam accounts by this date. Starting October 1, you will no longer be able to access Destiny 2 through Battle.net, as the title will simply no longer be available on the platform from that date.

How to switch to Steam? The move of Destiny 2, or the migration from Battle.net to Steam, has been available along with the Cross-Save connection since August 20. Actually, this feature was supposed to arrive with the release of Shadowkeep, but with the postponement of the expansion, these options were made accessible earlier.

Both options, Steam migration and Cross-Save, can be conveniently adjusted on the respective websites of Bungie. Just remember to complete your switch from Battle.net to Steam before October 1.

Why is Destiny 2 moving? Earlier this year, Bungie separated from its former publisher Activision Blizzard. The studio Bungie is now solely responsible for the Destiny brand.

With the end of the partnership, it is only logical that the shooter will no longer be available on Blizzard’s Battle.net platform. Therefore, Destiny 2 has found its new home on PC through Steam.

Huge update for Monster Hunter World: Iceborne – Here are the highlights in the 33GB patch

Larissa Then Larissa Then Reading time 2 minutes

A new update for Monster Hunter World is now available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. With the big 33GB download, many new features are coming your way. Here are the highlights of the patch notes.

What areas do our highlights cover? The new update brings a range of new features, including comfort adjustments that affect the space in your item chest. However, the most interesting updates are likely in terms of quests and monsters. You can find out what they are here.

If you haven’t purchased Iceborne yet, you’ll find tips here.

There is now more space for everything

Where there was previously limited space, you now have enough slots for your needs. For one, the wish list for your desired equipment has been expanded by several pages. In addition, you now have more slots available for your weapons and armor.

Hooray! Finally more space

The number of possible investigations has also been greatly increased. If you ever have too many investigations, there is now a button that allows you to delete all unregistered investigations.

Cool new features in the quests

Your crashes are now regulated. If you can’t make it to the camp at the start of a quest, your crash is now controlled. You either fall into an area with good gathering points or directly into the area where your target monster is located.

This is happening in multiplayer battles. With the new patch, a two-player mode is being introduced. In addition, your difficulty level will now be adjusted to your number of players in real-time.

You can now use a return option. With the new patch comes a new feature in your quests. You can now specify where you want to return after your quest.

Hurry, here are 6 things you should do before you really dive into Iceborne.

This is happening in dealing with the monsters

There are also several new features to discover in direct combat with the monsters.

  • The knife attack is strengthened: When mounting a monster, your attack with the knife is strengthened. This allows you to achieve a successful knockdown more quickly.
  • The monsters no longer fall asleep as easily. You now have to be patient if you want to use the sleep trick in Monster Hunter World. A limping monster will only lie down if you are not nearby.
  • Use of the insect glaive is made more difficult: You can no longer use insect glaives for mounting. They are no longer usable as long as a monster is nearby.
  • Lightning capsules are adjusted: If a monster develops a tolerance to lightning attacks, it becomes less vulnerable or even immune. This tolerance will reset after a while.

Pokémon GO: The chance of catching Shiny Skorgla is now 3 times higher – take the opportunity

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

Good news for shiny hunters! You can now find Shiny Skorgla more often in Pokémon GO.

This is Shiny Skorgla: Skorgla is a Ground and Flying-type Pokémon that resembles a bat. With 100 candies and a Sinnoh Stone, you can evolve it into Skorgro.

Since the beginning of the “Johto Journey“, you can encounter and catch Skorgla in its shiny form. Shinies have a different color than the normal version of the Pokémon and are very rare. You can also encounter Shiny Wiesor since early September – currently also in raids, just like Skorgla.

Other raid bosses include Raikou, Entei, and Suicune – hopefully also as shiny!

Pokémon GO Johto Journey Title
The Johto Journey brought various bonuses – including the Shinies

Shiny Skorgla appears more frequently

You will encounter Skorgla more often now: According to data from experts at “TheSilphRoad“, the shiny rate for Skorgla in Pokémon GO has changed. At the beginning of the event, the chance for a shiny was also the standard rate of 1 in 450 for Skorgla.

However, after about 24 hours, the rate was improved: Currently, you have about a 1 in 150 chance of encountering a shiny Skorgla and catching it for your collection. How long this rate will last is currently uncertain.

For Wiesor, the shiny rate also seems to differ slightly from the standard values, according to “TheSilphRoad”, but not as clearly as with Skorgla. TheSilphRoad found 45 shinies among 13,857 encounters with Wiesor.

Pokémon GO Shiny Wiesor Skorgla

This is how trainers are reacting: In the Pokémon subreddit, trainers hope to have more luck in their shiny hunt now. “Skorgla is the shiny I want more than any other. Hopefully, I can get one,” writes a user.

Some trainers have already successfully obtained Shiny Skorgla, while others had more luck with Wiesor. Many are still waiting to encounter the shiny version: “I still have a big fat nothing,” writes for example “Sputnikboy.”

Partially, trainers had trouble finding either Wiesor or Skorgla at all. Some trainers report not observing any spawns of the two Pokémon for a time.

Have you been lucky with the shinies yet? Or are you more interested in other bonuses from the Johto Journey – like an Icognito for example?

WoW Classic: What is the “Layering Exploit” and is it as bad as some say?

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

A mechanic in WoW Classic allows players to farm faster and more effectively. This was not intended by Blizzard and disrupts honest players. However, the developers downplay the issue, stating that it is not as bad as it seems.

What is being exploited? It concerns the mechanic of layering in WoW Classic. This was supposed to ensure that areas in WoW are not completely overcrowded. Due to the large influx, starting areas are particularly full of players.

To prevent these players from constantly stealing opponents or blocking each other, the world is divided into different “layers.” These are essentially copies of the world on the same server. Players in different layers cannot see each other and therefore cannot steal anything.

This is how the system is exploited: The system should not hinder groups. When someone invites a friend, they bring them onto their layer so they can play together. This usually happens within seconds.

WoW Orcs in line scorpid title 1140x445
If you play together, you are on the same layer.

Players are now exploiting this to be invited into other layers on purpose. They circumvent the respawn of enemies or materials. This makes it easier for them to skill their professions or reach level 60 faster.

For players who want to play without exploits, we have some tips for leveling up quickly in WoW Classic and tricks to get gold faster.

Layering and exploits: How bad is it really

This is what Blizzard and the fans say: “Fair” players now fear that this exploit disadvantages them as exploiters make excessive use of layering, potentially destroying the economy of the entire server.

According to WoW developer Pazorax in the official US forums of WoW, the problem is significantly smaller than many players claim:

We want to assure you that this is a much smaller problem than some people are claiming. We have closely monitored the impact of layering on the economy and other aspects of the game, and many of the stories posted here are simply false.

There were screenshots of banks full of crafting materials that we verified and found to be fake.

WoW-Classic-voll
Servers full of players are a real problem. Overstuffed banks and bags are less of an issue.

In any case, each server only has a single-digit number of layers. Most of them have a rather low number. Claims of dozens of layers per server are false.

This is how the problem will be addressed: Nevertheless, Blizzard wants to take action against the exploit. As a first measure, it is planned to increase the time between transfers between layers. Players who are invited will therefore take longer to switch layers.

In addition, layering is to be disabled in later phases of WoW Classic. This will happen when the player population is better distributed in the world and does not cluster in areas.

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

With Rogue Company, Hi-Rez Studios has announced a new team shooter that will support crossplay from day one. Players on PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch will compete against each other.

What is Rogue Company? Hi-Rez Studios wants to delight you with a new online shooter that focuses on fast battles in small teams. The game is developed by First Watch Games.

The story revolves around the titular Rogue Company, an organization tasked with solving the toughest conflicts in the world. You are one of the Rogue Company mercenaries and participate in the missions.

No Battle Royale, but fast shooter action

What makes this shooter special? Hi-Rez Studios states that it is not a battle royale game like Realm Royale – even if the trailer looks like it – but rather classic shooter fare. Visually, the game with its comic-style look is reminiscent of Overwatch or Fortnite.

You will be in small teams of five players, engaging in fast battles with a variety of weapons. Several maps and different game modes will be available; however, the team wants to talk about these at a later time.

Classes are extremely important. Each player takes on a specific role that has tactical implications for the match outcomes. More information about these roles will also come later. However, it is planned that new mercenaries, maps, and weapons will be added regularly.

The feedback from players will play a significant role in new content.

Rogue Company – Release planned for 2020

For which platforms is the game being released? Rogue Company will be available for PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. A specific release date has not yet been announced. The game is expected to be released in 2020.

Rogue Company will be available for PC exclusively on the Epic Games Store. Whether it will be a free-to-play or buy-to-play game has not yet been disclosed by the developers. However, Hi-Rez games are generally free-to-play.

If you want, you can now sign up for an alpha on the official website. You will be notified once it starts.

Crossplay with all platforms

What about crossplay? Hi-Rez Studios explains that you can play with any Rogue Company player, regardless of which platform you are on. This means the shooter offers crossplay with all platforms and does so right from launch.

Hi-Rez Studios means that it was planned from the beginning to allow you to play with all your friends from the start, regardless of whether they have purchased the title on PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, or Nintendo Switch.

How are players reacting to the announcement? Players are curious about what to expect from the shooter. Some think the trailer has a bit of Rainbow Six Siege and already call the title Rainbow Six Siege 2 or Rainbow Six Siege Free2Play.

However, there is still skepticism about whether Hi-Rez Studios can really establish themselves with a new shooter in an already highly competitive market.

Oops, Destiny 2 just shows 6 new armor sets from Shadowkeep – Also raid gear

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 3 minutes

Only a few weeks before the release of Destiny 2 Shadowkeep, Bungie is becoming increasingly generous with new details. The studio has now introduced 6 new armor sets that will be waiting for you this fall. Additionally, the developers clarify once again which armors will be transitioned to Armor 2.0.

These sets are: With Season 8 and the Shadowkeep expansion, new armor sets will be introduced into the game in October. Bungie usually likes to keep one or two surprises up its sleeve or keeps the Guardians in the dark.

However, at the PAX West gaming convention, many new armor pieces were spotted alongside weapons – including some Exotics. In its current “This Week at Bungie” blog, the studio shows 6 new armor sets. Additionally, the developers explain where to get these armor pieces.

These armor sets will arrive in the fall

In total, there are 6 new sets that players can earn (or purchase) soon. Some are legendary armors, while others are Universal Ornaments that can be used on various armor pieces. It looks like these could be all the new sets for the upcoming content.

Dreambane set:

This is a legendary armor set that you will receive through activities on the new Moon location.

“Garden of Salvation” set:

This controversially discussed Vex set can be obtained in the new raid Garden of Salvation. The glowing effects are reminiscent of the ornaments for the raid gear from Destiny 1.

Substitutional set:

You will receive this set from seasonal activities in Season 8 as well as free and premium season rank rewards.

“Phenotype Plasticity” set (universal ornament):

This set consists of universal ornaments that you will earn through the premium season rank rewards.

“Iron Will” set:

You will earn this set in the Season of the Undying through the PvP event Iron Banner.

“Empyrean Cartographer” set (universal ornament): 

This ornament set will be available in Season 8 from Tess Everis in the Eververse.

These existing armor sets will be transitioned to Armor 2.0

With Shadowkeep, the new armor system Armor 2.0 will be introduced in Destiny 2. However, not only the new armor sets will utilize this system. Most existing legendary sets will also be transitioned to the new standard on October 1.

Bungie has now explicitly explained which old sets are affected:

  • Crucible: Year-1 sets including Year-1 ornaments
  • Strike: Year-1 sets including Year-1 ornaments
  • Black Armory: The Forge sets
  • Gambit:
    • Gambit armors from Forsaken
    • Gambit Prime armors from the season of the Outlaw
  • Menagerie
    • All Menagerie armor pieces
  • Raids
    • Leviathan sets
    • Scourge of the Past sets
    • Last Wish sets
    • “Last Wish” sets
    • “Curse of the Past” sets
    • “Crown of Sorrow” sets
  • Location sets (also available from planetary vendors)
    • European Dead Zone (EDZ)
    • Titan
    • Nessus
    • Io
    • Mercury
    • Mars (vendors and Escalation Protocol)
    • Thunderdome
    • Dreaming City

What do you think of the new sets? Is there anything you absolutely want to have?

Dota 2: Cheat turns 5vs5 into 18vs5 – Twitch streamer can only laugh

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

In the MOBA DOTA 2, there’s currently a bizarre cheat circulating that allows a team to start with not 5 heroes, but significantly more. Twitch streamer “cancel”, who witnessed this in his ranked match, could only laugh, as it looked so absurd.

What is going on? Twitch streamer Mihai “canceL” Antonio was streaming ranked play in DOTA 2 when he found himself in a completely unexpected situation.

It quickly became clear that something was off, even as the match was forming in the lobby. As the website dexerto reports, there were already many disconnect and connect messages during the “pick-and-ban” phase.

When the game started, about 13 additional heroes appeared on the Twitch streamer’s side, all bearing the URL of a Russian website in their names, which apparently sells cheats for Dota 2.

The streamer exclaimed, “Dude, what the hell is happening here?” As the army of heroes moved out and headed to the mid lane, Twitch streamer canceL could only laugh.

As reported by dexerto, the streamer then played through the match while laughing. Simply giving up – like this Dota team did particularly foolishly, is normally not an option in ranked play. In the end, canceL reported the bots and queued for the next match in DOTA 2.

Cheaters likely use streamers for marketing

Is this only happening to him? No, at least it’s not an isolated case. Another streamer has also encountered this strange problem.

On reddit , people are discussing the incident and saying, “DOTA 2 seems to have a bit of a cheater problem right now.”

One user there states: But it’s not extraordinarily widespread. These cheaters specifically target streamers and only aim for matches with high matchmaking rankings.

Where does the cheat come from? It seems that these bots initiate a DDoS attack on the game before it starts, resulting in this bizarre situation.
