In eSports, TSM ZexRow has won a 1vs6 match in Fortnite . The special thing: The opponents were two of the strongest trios in Fortnite. Among them is the Twitch streamer, Turner “Tfue” Tenney, with his partners Cloak and 72hrs. On reddit, this is referred to as the play of the year.
At the beginning of the clip, TSM ZexRow is already alone – his two partners have been taken out. And around him lurk two of the best trios in the USA:
The second trio consists of Pika, Rhux, and Joel – they are also really strong Fortnite players. They currently hold 11th place in NA-East in the Trio Series.
Cloak (left) and Tfue (right) are currently playing as a trio in Fortnite with 72hrs.
Pro player remains incredibly calm and controlled
The clip shows: It’s hard to follow the clip because TSM ZexRow acts at high speed.
The clip starts with ZexRow getting a quick snipe on Cloak, causing him to drop to low HP and retreat. Then Tfue and 72hrs attack him, but they never manage to catch ZexRow because he controls the builds.
With quick editing and building, Zexrow can always evade the attacks and choose when to attack the opponent from ambush.
The windows of opportunity for attacks are only open for a few moments. He uses these short windows by delivering shotgun blasts that find their mark and cost the opponents a lot of hit points. Then ZexRow builds again and changes position.
With a sudden attack, he finally manages to take Cloak out up close. The already wounded Tfue goes down next, before ZexRow now takes out 72hrs in a duel.
Due to the special rules that apply in Competitive, ZexRow is back at full health afterwards.
ZexRow nearly wins the fight against the second trio effortlessly. Here he can once again control the fights, seize and maintain the initiative.
While the professionals he previously took down watch him, they are still impressed.

This is how it’s discussed: On reddit, the clip is being discussed. Several users say it must be the “Play of the Year” in Fortnite.
It’s fantastic how ZexRow maintains control and calm in such a difficult situation. He gives the opponents no chance to cooperate but isolates them.
However, the attacking opponents are also criticized. They apparently seem to be in panic because they are low on HP and cannot coordinate their efforts against ZexRow.
This is how the defeated react: Cloak watches TSM_Zexrow for a while as he dismantles the second duo and says: “OMG, this guy is just crapping on those pros.”
Tfue says: “Yeah, ZexRow is cracked, bro.” – Whatever that means.

Who is ZexRow? TSM ZexRow belongs to the “young generation” of Fortnite players who have been described as “nerds” by streamer NickMercs. They are young and can build incredibly fast.
With his partner TSM Vinny1x, Zexrow became a finalist in the Fortnite World Championship in Duo, winning $225,000.
ZexRow claims to have been playing shooter games like Call of Duty since he was 6 years old and has developed good aiming skills at a young age, which he later refined in games like Counter-Strike: Source. He had to learn to play in a team then as well. Now with Fortnite, he, like many others, has seized his chance.
We spoke with Mathieu Cote, the Director of Dead by Daylight Mobile, and he explained to us why the mobile version no longer has a blood web. He also shares some other exciting details.
One of the biggest changes between the PC and mobile versions of Dead by Daylight, aside from the controls, is the blood web. It has been completely changed.
This is what the Director of DbD Mobile says:
The main reason [for the change] was actually that it was very difficult to present the blood web to players on mobile in the same way as on PC.
Another reason was that mobile gaming is consumed in small bites. You play for a few minutes and then put it down. And it should still be possible for people to navigate through the system.
Mathieu Cote, Game Director
You move the character with the left “analog stick” and perform actions with the right thumb
The blood web is a huge chunk that you have to work through on PC or console, according to Cote. When players then played DbD on mobile and purchased something from the blood market, it gave them the corresponding feeling of progress, he explained.
Cote also explained how the blood market works:
These are exactly the same items that you can obtain there, only they are presented in a slightly different way.
In each row, you have to decide what to spend your points on. And with each row, the items become rarer and rarer, and when you reach the bottom, you have to choose one of the three best. And then you move on to the next level.
You work your way from top to bottom and unlock items
Aside from the blood web, the team wanted to keep the game as close to the PC and console versions as possible:
The mobile version will not receive exclusive content in the form of skins and other cosmetics.
The progress will be approximately equally fast.
Social features will be added once they have also been revised for the PC and console versions.
The game is free-to-play, but to unlock all content, mobile players will have to pay the same price as on PC and consoles.
The interest in DbD Mobile is greater than expected
By now, Dead by Daylight Mobile has been released in several countries on the App Store. Originally, the betas were supposed to be purely technical tests to ensure the stability and performance of the app, but it turned out differently.
We expected 5k -10k players. But we received, as far as I know, over a million installs. There is a lot of interest, people are playing Dead by Daylight Mobile. So we decided to add more features early on and expand to more regions. And the feedback has been great so far.
Mathieu Cote, Game Director
The interest in the game has gone so far that players have changed the region of their app store to download it from the stores of other countries. However, this led to performance issues.
In the free-to-play version, you will be able to play 2 killers and 3 survivors
This is what the Director says to the players: Cote believes that there are many fans of Dead by Daylight among the players. Although the mobile version does not yet have cross-play or cross-save features with the PC and console versions, Cote believes that many fans will still play DbD Mobile on their smartphones, partly because it is free.
But also simply mobile users who may not own a gaming PC will take a look at the game, according to Cote. According to him, there is also another group:
But I think there still exists a large fan base of DbD that hasn’t played it yet, but mostly watches. They are the viewers on YouTube or Twitch and now the game is coming free to mobile and they think, “Oh, I could play that.”
Stranger Things comes with the latest chapter of Dead by Daylight
This is what the future brings: After the launch of the mobile version of Dead by Daylight, the developers will initially focus on new content. The latest chapter of the game brought a new monster and two new survivors from the popular series “Stranger Things”.
Next time, however, the devs want to create something of their own. Cote said about this:
Well, we definitely have a lot of original content that we want to implement. There are many stories and folklore that we haven’t properly addressed until now.
It’s funny because we always say we want to focus on our own content and then we get the opportunity to do Stranger Things. […] But yes, we actually want to bring our own content. We put a lot of effort into the stories behind the killers.
The wait for the upcoming expansion Shadowkeep for Destiny 2 continues. In the meantime, we wondered which have been the best and worst expansions in the Destiny universe so far. Do you agree with our ranking or do you have completely different ideas?
What kind of ranking is this? For this ranking, Tom, Sven, and Micha sat down at the virtual pub and talked candidly: Which expansions and DLCs from the Destiny universe were enjoyable, and which made us roll our eyes?
Reaching a consensus was not so easy. One member of the exclusive circle of self-proclaimed “Destiny experts” was quite adamant about not rating the first Destiny 2 expansion Forsaken as highly as the other two Guardians.
After hard negotiations and some gritting of teeth, however, the ranking was established. Since the decision was so difficult and far from unanimous, we let the participants have their say. We explain how we voted and why Sven hates the Dreaming City so much.
Destiny Expansions and DLCs – This is Our Ranking
Our ranking from top (above) to flop (below):
Kingsfall (Destiny expansion, 2015)
Forsaken (Destiny 2 expansion, 2018)
Darkness Awaits (Destiny DLC, 2014)
The Rise of Iron (Destiny expansion, 2016)
Season of Opulence (Destiny 2 Annual Pass)
Season of the Forge (Destiny 2 Annual Pass)
House of Wolves (Destiny DLC, 2015)
Warmind (Destiny 2 DLC, 2018)
Season of the Drifter (Destiny 2 Annual Pass)
Curse of Osiris (Destiny 2 DLC, 2017)
Tom: Darkness Awaits will probably always be the best “small DLC” for me
This is what Tom says: Whether Kingsfall or Forsaken was the best Destiny expansion ever – I don’t want to make a definitive statement on that. Both expansions shook the game dramatically and raised Destiny (TTK) and Destiny 2 (Forsaken) to a significantly better level.
While I particularly liked the story around Eris and Oryx in TTK, which ended in the magnificent Kingsfall raid, I was captivated by Forsaken with the Triumph system and the Dreaming City.
Darkness Awaits will probably always be the best “small DLC” in Destiny for me. I played the Crota raid repeatedly and was fascinated by the crazy ways other guardians defeated Crota. Moreover, Darkness Awaits brought many iconic weapons into the game, like the Black Spindle or Crota’s Fury. At the release of Darkness Awaits, there were complaints about too little content for the money, but I have some of my best Destiny memories from that time.
The Rise of Iron, which was partly seen as a stopgap to bridge the gap until Destiny 2, ultimately represented a worthy conclusion to Destiny 1. The expansion not only brought a cool social space inhabited by wolves with Felwinter Peak but also several iconic weapons from Year 1 that evoked feelings of nostalgia, such as the Gjallarhorn or the Icebreaker.
The Drifter season and the bottom-ranking Curse of Osiris consistently land at the last spots. While the Drifter season only offered something for Gambit fans and even the Reckoning couldn’t convince, a lot went wrong with Curse of Osiris. Honestly, I don’t even want to think back on that.
The Drifter
Sven: I never warmed up to the “Lord of the Rings” look of Forsaken
This is what Sven says: Kingsfall and Forsaken are, in my eyes, the best expansions for their respective games. TTK made Destiny 1 noticeably better, Forsaken improved the previously maligned Destiny 2. But as good as Forsaken may be for Destiny 2: I simply love the dark setting of TTK and never really warmed up to the “Lord of the Rings” look of Forsaken. Therefore, TTK is personally the better expansion for me.
For this reason, Darkness Awaits comes next for me. Especially what Bungie created in the Hellmouth under the surface of the Moon remains unforgettable to me to this day.
Next comes The Rise of Iron. I loved the new area “Plaguelands” and found the SIVA setting simply awesome.
Even though I never liked the bling-bling look of the Leviathan, I was convinced by the chalice mechanic from the Season of Opulence. Next comes the Black Armory with its forges and the Fallen raid “Scourge of the Past”. This still embodies my favorite raid in D2. I also found the futuristic armor of the forges simply great.
Everything that follows really left me cold or disappointed. Neither House of Wolves nor Warmind really grabbed me. Since Gambit is absolutely not my thing, I have never played Destiny 2 as little as during the Season of the Drifter. And I don’t think I really need to say much about Curse of Osiris.
Doesn’t anyone really like Curse of Osiris?
Micha: I’m glad that I didn’t have to go to Mercury for the Solstice armor
This is what Micha says: The first two entries on this list made it really hard for me: Kingsfall or Forsaken? I love Forsaken, but the hunt for the Barons didn’t work out well for me with the individual adventures, and the break between the Uldren story and the Dreaming City was too strong for me.
Kingsfall captivated me right from the start. I like the Dreadnaught and the Kingsfall raid, and Oryx really felt threatening as a villain. In the end, Oryx’s adorable chicken feet probably made the difference.
Then, of course, Darkness Awaits with the Crota raid.
In my personal view, The Rise of Iron would have ended up at a later rank. I even like the Season of Opulence and the Season of the Forge from the Destiny 2 annual pass even better. I never really warmed up to the Last Wish raid from Iron Lords. But the forge activity from the expansion was really fun for me until the end.
Only on three positions on this list were Tom, Sven, and I really in agreement: Darkness Awaits, Season of the Drifter, and Curse of Osiris. The Osiris DLC is still quite awful to me, and I’m glad that I didn’t have to go to Mercury for the Solstice armor.
Do you agree with our ranking or would you have voted differently?
Today, on September 1st, the last Raid Hour with Rayquaza is happening in Pokémon GO. Refresh your knowledge about the time, counters, and more here.
What is this event? The last time in 2019, Pokémon GO held a Raid Hour featuring Rayquaza. Trainers assumed that the last Raid Hour with Ray would be the final one. However, the developers at Niantic are starting the final Raid Hour with Rayquaza today, on September 1st.
Rayquaza Pokémon GO
When does the event take place? This evening, from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM, the Raid Hour will take place.
What happens? The Final Raid Hour with Rayquaza When? September 1, 2019, from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM Bonuses: – There will be an increased number of Legendary Raids in Pokémon GO’s gyms. You will find many Rayquaza Raids there. – You have the chance to catch Shiny Rayquaza.
What is the chance of Shinys? The developers did not mention that the chances will be increased for this event. It is assumed that the usual 5% chance of encountering a shiny form of Rayquaza applies.
Why is it worth participating in the Raid Hour with Rayquaza?
Two main arguments suggest that you should participate in this event today.
Rayquaza is a strong attacker that every trainer should have in their collection.
Today you have the last chance this year to catch the Pokémon and its shiny form during a Raid Hour.
If you have decided to participate in the Raid Hour, make sure to pack the most important counter Pokémon.
As a Dragon-type Pokémon, Rayquaza is particularly vulnerable to other Dragon-type Pokémon, Rock, Fairy, and Ice.
Mamutel
The best attackers are:
Mamutel with a moveset of Powder Snow and Avalanche.
Glaziola with a moveset of Ice Shard and Avalanche.
Snibunna with a moveset of Ice Shard and Avalanche.
Mewtwo with a moveset of Psycho Cut and Ice Beam.
Rossana with a moveset of Ice Shard and Avalanche.
Good attackers also include Articuno with Ice Shard and Ice Beam, Zapdos with Ice Shard and Avalanche, or even Rayquaza with a moveset of Dragon Tail and Outrage.
On September 6, 2019, it’s finally time: Monster Hunter World will receive its first real expansion “Iceborne” and send hunters to new horizons with new monsters and many new items.
This article is from Thomas “Luneras” Weger.
To make the most of the last week before Iceborne, here is a list of useful tips that will prepare both novice and veteran hunters for the frosty adventures. Because on September 6, Monster Hunter World: Iceborne will be released.
1. Completion of the Main Story
As we already know, the story of Iceborne will definitely take place after the main story of the base game, which is why it seems logical that finishing this is absolutely necessary. This will get you to Hunter Rank 16 and prepare you for fresh adventures.
During the new stories, you will not only be traveling in the Frostfang area, but the Master Rank will also take you back to familiar areas.
After focusing on the main story, there are still various important tasks waiting for us in the Low and High Rank.
Many of the optional quests offer rewards such as canteen ingredients, mantles, and boosters and upgrades for the botanist. Usually, these important optional quests appear with an exclamation mark above the head of NPCs in the base and have a speech bubble in the task overview before their name.
The mantles and boosters are essential when it comes to doing something for survival or the group in addition to slashing, stabbing, and hacking. The canteen ingredients allow for a wider variety of dishes when cooking with different bonuses, and the upgrades for the botanist help in growing all kinds of materials for crafting.
Honey: the strongest asset of the hunter in crafting
Of course, a filled chest is worth all the effort, as preparation through items and eating dishes from the cook are just as much a part of the hunt as slaying the monster.
3. Accumulating Money and Research Points
With new monsters and the new difficulty level, there are of course plenty of new armors and weapons to forge, which is why a good supply of money (Zenny) is extremely helpful.
By the way, in Iceborne, there will also be the possibility to expand and furnish the private room for research points. If that’s not an incentive to farm!
We will obviously not face the battle in the snowy expanses of the New World alone, so our fluffy companion should also receive the best preparation.
To unlock the helpful devices for our Palico, a small quest series for the Grimalkyne, the “Wild” cats, must be completed. In each region of the base game, there is a type of cat that offers a different tool.
As long as equipped through our Palico, the gadget improves after each hunt and receives additional bonuses. As already seen in the trailers for Iceborne and in the beta, these gadgets will also be equipped with new, expanded abilities.
5. Collecting Decorations
What sounds like tips for furnishing is actually one of the most important points when it comes to getting the best out of our builds.
Decorations in Monster Hunter World are jewels that we can insert into our equipment to obtain, strengthen, or trigger certain passive abilities. This will not change in Iceborne, which makes a good supply of various decorations useful for every playstyle.
Additionally, it is already known that the mantles, which usually only offered very situational uses, will be equipped with slots for decorations in the expansion.
Ice resistance is not rare, but makes sense in the Frostfang area
6. Equipment
Of course, proper preparation also includes the necessary equipment. For veterans, this point is probably obvious, as they have most of the armors from the High Rank or even coveted γ-sets lying around in their box.
However, for novice hunters, there is a sigh of relief: You do not have to farm for weeks to succeed in the expansion. Already on September 4, 2019, 2 days before the official release of Iceborne, all players will receive the “Guardian” armor set, which has been specially designed to equip you with the most basic skills and a high armor value. This will allow you to earn your spurs in Low Rank, but it is also sufficient to do well in High Rank.
The even better news: This set will be delivered to all players of Monster Hunter World, so you don’t need to pre-order Iceborne to enjoy the free armor.
Soon it will be time, and you will be able to take on the many newcomers and iconic monsters like the fan-favorite Zinogre, which are just waiting with Iceborne to provide new weapons and armors. With these tips, nothing stands in the way of your adventures in the cold regions of the New World.
With the new chapter of Guild Wars 2, the Icebrood Saga, comes a new chunk of story and lore for players. But who are all the characters that will play an important role in the saga?
During the announcement stream, ArenaNet explained that even new players without much background knowledge about Guild Wars 2 can directly dive into the Icebrood Saga as soon as the prologue goes online on September 17.
However, the story underlying the saga is multifaceted and exciting. Here are the main characters you should know.
Who speaks in the trailer? At the center of the Icebrood Saga is the Elder Dragon Jormag, who speaks to us in the new trailer. He lives deep in the Shiverpeak Mountains and commands the element of ice. His awakening caused massive earthquakes in the north that permanently altered the land and led to a portion of the area being flooded by the waters of the cold Northeast Ocean.
He also summoned a tremendous snowstorm that lasted for a full 4 years. The calamities and the march of Jormag’s Icebrood legions have resulted in the Norn being driven from their homeland in the north.
Claws of Jormag are massive dragons and lieutenants of the Elder Dragon Jormag
Like all Elder Dragons, Jormag has a dragon aura that corrupts everything around him. And now the dragon is trying to extend his corrupting influence to the south of Tyria.
For several weeks, players might encounter suspicious NPCs in Guild Wars 2 who talk about the glorious deeds of Jormag. They promise power and glory to all who submit to the dragon.

Sons of Svanir and Icebrood: What is the difference?
Like other Elder Dragons, Jormag prefers to send his minions into battle to do the dirty work for him. These can be divided into two groups:
The Sons of Svanir
The Icebrood
These are the Sons of Svanir: The Cult of the Sons of Svanir consists of normal Norn who have voluntarily pledged their lives to the service of Jormag. They worship him as the highest beast totem, and in return, he grants them more power.
The Sons originated from the Norn hunter Svanir, who set out to Drakkar Lake 250 years ago, along with his sister and a group of hunters, to seek strong prey.
Svanir in his bear form
On the ice of Drakkar Lake, the group heard the voice of one of Jormag’s Champions. Drakkar promised the hunters fame, power, and loot. Svanir listened to the whispers of the dragon and was corrupted by him. He became the new Champion of Jormag, the Norn Bear.
The Sons of Svanir continue to worship Jormag and try to fill their ranks with more men who pledge themselves to the dragon. Women are not welcome in the cult.
Among the Norn, however, the cult and its members are not considered evil. They remain a part of society, and NPCs who belong to the cult can be found in the capital of the Norn.
A warrior of the Icebrood. He is covered in ice and is increasingly freezing to his core
This is the Icebrood: In contrast, there is the Icebrood of Jormag. They are mindless fanatic slaves transformed by the influence of the dragon and have lost their minds. Their ranks consist mainly of Norn and Kodan.
The dragon’s corruption also affects the appearance of the brood. Younger members of the brood are merely covered in ice, but their veins still flow with red blood. The older brood warriors, however, are frozen to their core.
The Strong Sister
Who is Jora? When Svanir first encountered Jormag’s Champion Drakkar 250 years ago, he was not alone. He set out for the lake accompanied by a group of hunters and his sister Jora.
Jora played an important role in Guild Wars 1. Her image is on the cover of the expansion “Eye of the North”.
But while Svanir gave himself to the dragon, Jora was horrified and refused to serve Jormag. As punishment, she lost her Norn ability to transform into a bear. To restore her family’s honor, she killed her brother, who had been transformed into the Norn bear.
Due to her “crimes against the dragon,” the Sons of Svanir have a prohibition against accepting female members into their ranks.
Jora also has a descendant: Jhavi Jorasdottir, who is a member of the Order of the Vigil. It is one of the three orders dedicated to fighting the dragons. Perhaps she will play an important role in the Icebrood Saga?
Who is Dakkar? An old acquaintance of Guild Wars veterans. Drakkar is one of the many Champions of Jormag who have received a part of the Elder Dragon’s power and ensure that his corrupting influence continues to spread.
The Champion Drakkar is trapped beneath the ice of a lake named after him. The Norn avoid this lake because they can sense the dark magic that slumbers within it.
Drakkar as he appears in concept art
Even in his sleeping state, Drakkar is capable of seducing other beings with his whispers and expanding the influence of his master. He was the one who corrupted the hunter Svanir and robbed his sister Jora of the ability to transform into a bear.
In the Icebrood Saga, you will encounter Drakkar in the new areas around the Shiverpeaks. He will be one of the new world bosses wreaking havoc there.
These characters are also important: From a brief teaser, we already can infer that our friend Rytlock Brimstone will play an important role in the Icebrood Saga. In the prologue, there seems to be trouble among the Charr.
The Emperor, the leader of the Charr, refers to Rytlock as his greatest disappointment. This leads to a brawl between the two.
Rytlock Brimstone will likely play an important role in the upcoming story
In a chapter focusing on the Norn, our friend Braham must not be missing. He can already be seen in teaser images for the Icebrood Saga. His relationship with the Charr lady Rox has been somewhat tense since the emergence of the Olmakhan in Living World Season 4.
Perhaps this will change in the latest season, which focuses precisely on these two peoples.

Borderlands 3 is just around the corner for release on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Gearbox Software has already given a glimpse into the updates and DLC that players can look forward to in 2019 after the launch. We take a look at the roadmap for Borderlands 3.
What is the roadmap all about? At the gaming expo PAX West, Gearbox Software revealed a lot of new information about Borderlands 3 – including endgame elements like
Additionally, a rough schedule in the form of a roadmap for the post-launch content of Borderlands 3 in 2019 has been announced. In this content calendar, players can see what they can expect this year after the release.
Borderlands 3 – These contents are coming by the end of 2019
After the release on September 13, 2019, you can look forward to the following contents this year.

This is expected to continue the story from the campaign. Those who have the Season Pass can play the DLC at no additional cost. More details will follow.
What do you think of the planned contents for 2019? Is this enough for the rest of the year, or were you expecting more?
Borderlands 3 takes place story-wise several years after the second part. Here is a summary of the events of the previous parts and a first small look at Borderlands 3.
In two weeks it will happen, the long-awaited release of Borderlands 3 is coming – seven years after the second part. Starting September 13, 2019, old and new faces from the series will return to your screens, restoring peace and unrest in the familiar manner on Pandora, and probably not just there. Anyone who is now wondering which characters are involved and what Pandora is all about is exactly right here.
Warning Spoilers: If you haven’t played the Borderlands series and prefer to be surprised, do not read on!
What is Borderlands 1 about?
The first part of the series revolves around the search for a vault key – more specifically, for its individual parts. To do this, one must complete quests on a planet called Pandora and, above all, take down bosses.
What do you need to know about the backstory? Pandora is a planet ruled by bandits and outlaws. After rumors about so-called vaults spread, a true gold rush broke out. These vaults are remnants of an alien race known as Eridians and are said to hold their treasures and valuable materials. However, the initially icy planet did not bring the desired wealth and was abandoned by many.
What happened next with Pandora? As the multi-year winter on Pandora came to an end, the ice melted, and flora and fauna emerged, the settlers and workers who remained faced life and death. Pandora quickly became a lawless place where violence ruled.
How does Borderlands 1 start? At this point, the first game in the series begins. Players are dropped at a location called Firestone as Lilith, Brick, Mordecai, or Roland, who represent your playable classes. There, you encounter the robot Claptrap and Angel, who introduces herself as the protector of the vault.
The talkative robot CL4P-TP aka Claptrap
You now smash your way through some bandits and eventually find an object at the first boss that turns out to be part of the vault key. At the same time, Commander Steele, the leader of the so-called Crimson Lance on Pandora, demands that you hand over all Eridian artifacts.
During the journey, you reach New Haven, the largest civilization left on Pandora. There, you learn from Patricia Tannis about the locations of the other vault key fragments. However, when the last boss has no part, it turns out that Tannis has had it all along and is working with the Crimson Lance.
How does the story end? When Steele opens the vault, however, there are no treasures inside, but a monster named the Destroyer. It kills her, and players must defeat it. The guardian Angel then reveals that she knew about the monster, but it had to be defeated.
What is Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel about?
The Pre-Sequel tells the story of what happened before the second part and what led to Handsome Jack’s views.
How does the Pre-Sequel start? Here you help Jack – without Handsome – as Nisha, Claptrap, Athena, or Wilhelm (later Aurelia and Jack “the Doppelganger” joined) to save the Helios space station. Helios is a station of the Hyperion Corporation, an influential arms manufacturer. It is equipped with a powerful laser that was installed by Jack (then still John). It contains the Eye of the Destroyer, our final boss from the first part.
After you rescue Jack from Helios from Elpis, he devises a plan on how to regain the space station. After defeating the attacker Col. Zarpedon on Helios, he reveals the existence of a vault.
Are the vault hunters playing Jack’s game? Jack, who is now at the top of Hyperion, is determined to find this vault. However, his power trip, already hinted at there, is thwarted by Lilith, Roland, and Moxxi, who stand against him.
Mad Moxxi – loves to give away vibrating weapons
What made Jack become Handsome Jack? Ultimately, Jack does get an artifact from the vault into his hands. This artifact contains a vision that shows Jack a powerful alien warrior. However, Lilith destroys it and disfigures Jack’s face. As a result, Jack becomes the masked Handsome Jack and vows revenge on the vault hunters and the planet.
How does Borderlands 2 continue?
The second part of the series reveals the treasure that was in the vault of the first part: Eridium. This valuable material causes power struggles on Pandora, with the Hyperion chief Handsome Jack at the top.
The probably most charming villain – Handsome Jack
He wants to civilize the planet, eliminate all vault hunters, and strengthen his power – any means are right for him. Therefore, he tries right at the beginning of Borderlands 2 to blow up the players.
How does Borderlands 2 start? Escaping this fate, you meet as a vault hunter Maya, Salvador, Axton, or Zer0 (via DLCs also Gaige and Krieg) with Claptrap, who leads you to Sir Hammerlock. We also meet another old acquaintance, the so-called AI Angel, who again guides us through the story.
At the request of Sir Hammerlock, you kill some bandits to clear the way to Sanctuary. Sanctuary is a city and the headquarters of the so-called Crimson Raiders. A resistance group made up of our vault hunters from the first part of the Borderlands series.
What awaits you in Sanctuary? Upon arrival, however, you learn that the leader Roland has been kidnapped. In search of him, you find the legendary Firehawk, who turns out to be Lilith. Her powers as a Siren have immensely increased due to the Eridium outbreak.
After you rescue Roland, you devise a plan on how to stop Handsome Jack. To do this, with the help of Mordecai and the explosives expert Tiny Tina, a Hyperion train is blown up, which supposedly carries the vault key.
The “sweet” Tiny Tina
Will you be betrayed by Angel? Unfortunately, the train turns out to be a trap, but you escape it through a won boss fight. Angel then suggests using the energy core obtained to shield Sanctuary against Hyperion. But this also turns out to be an ambush, Sanctuary loses its shield, gets attacked, and must be teleported away.
Angel then asks for forgiveness, she was forced to. She reveals her whereabouts and the plan that Jack is pursuing. He uses her powers to charge the vault key. There, he wants to awaken the warrior he was shown in the vision from the Pre-Sequel.
Who is Angel anyway? In a spectacular rescue operation, Angel’s identity is revealed; she is a Siren and Jack’s daughter. Unfortunately, she doesn’t survive, and Jack manages to kill Roland and kidnap Lilith as a substitute.
How does the story end? Finally, upon arriving at the vault, Handsome Jack has already awakened the warrior. Players must defeat him and kill Jack. Afterward, in the attempt to destroy the vault key, a map is opened that shows other vaults throughout the universe.
Commander Lilith & the Fight for Sanctuary as a transition?
How does the Commander Lilith DLC start? After the events in Borderlands 2 and the death of Roland, Firehawk Lilith now leads the Crimson Raiders. Meanwhile, Sanctuary is attacked by Col. Hector and brought under his control. Thus, the vault key also falls into his hands.
The players must now fight through zombie plants that Hector has infected. Afterwards, the scattered Raiders are united in all directions and meet Vaughn, a character from Tales from the Borderlands.
And how does the story end now? After exploring the environment, it comes to finding an antidote against the infection caused by Hector. After some obstacles, the Raiders can produce the antidote and face the fight against Hector, which they of course win.
The legendary Firehawk Lilith
How does Borderlands 3 connect now?
Several years after the previous events on Pandora – Tiny Tina is now not so tiny anymore – two new sirens come into play. The Calypso twins Tyreen and Troy lead a fanatical vault cult, the “Children of the Vault.” They both bear the characteristic siren tattoos. This is unusual because Troy is the first man in the series to have these features.
What other characters does Borderlands 3 offer? Besides these two new characters, there is also a reunion with many old acquaintances: first and foremost, of course, the robot Claptrap, as well as Maya, Moxxi, Marcus, and Sir Hammerlock, but also Rhys from Tales from the Borderlands. Will Jack also return to our screens? We do not know.
What are the playable classes? What we do know is which vault hunters will be playable. These are soldier Moze, siren Amara, Beastmaster FL4K, and Zane the assassin. The world appears to be more diverse than Pandora; the trailers showcase various environments, but with the usual bang in terms of weapons and vehicles.
What else awaits the player in Borderlands 3? The Borderlands series has always remained true to itself. The graphic style, the quotes, the dark humor, the brutal firepower – one has never been bored. Also, Borderlands 3 seems to follow this manner narratively: you continue to smash bandits and other poor crazy people in the name of the vault. This time, among other things, it is fanatical cultists in a varied environment, which makes you want to dive into one adventure after another.
And why was such a secret made about Borderlands 3, you can find out here:
In the MMORPG EVE Online , the developers at CCP have banned a corporation, a complete guild, with more than 250 accounts. They are said to have been botting. CCP’s message is clear: “No one is immune. We will come for you if you bot.”
Where does the information come from? It is from CCP themselves. They want to release a report every month on how hard they are cracking down on violations in EVE Online. The three major issues are hacking, botting, and real-money trading.
What kind of guild have they banned? In July 2019, CCP banned a complete corporation. The Icelanders clearly state who was affected. It was the “Southern Race Club,” which is part of the alliance “Iron Crown.”
It is said that this corporation was almost entirely made up of botters.
The activities of the guild were discussed on Reddit and in the official forums.
“It doesn’t matter how much money you give us”
This is how EVE has taken action against them: CCP says they have leveled the guild to the ground and permanently banned every member of the corporation.
CCP states: “We want to send a message that we love our community and New Eden.”
They say:
“The message is simple. It doesn’t matter how large your organization or alliance is. It doesn’t matter how many accounts you have, or how much money you give us through Omega subscriptions, or how valuable you think you are to EVE Online.
You are not immune to the rules. If you bot, we will come for you.”
Actually, Overwatch was officially planning to use the “Role Queue” in ranked mode. However, there was a serious error, and Season 18 had to be canceled.
Coinciding with the beginning of September, a new season was supposed to start in Overwatch. This would be the first “official” season where Blizzard’s hero shooter makes use of the new “Role Queue”. Players now have to commit to a role upon signing up, which they will embody in the match. However, there was now a significant error that is frustrating both professionals and casual players alike.
What happened? Shortly after the start of Season 18 in Overwatch, many players noticed that something was wrong with their skill rating. Right after their placement matches, they were surprised because they were ranked much lower than usual.
Even professionals who typically play in the “Grandmaster” tier suddenly had a skill rating that placed them in “Gold” or “Silver”—some even ranked as low as “Bronze,” the lowest rating.
What are the consequences? This has made Overwatch a catastrophic experience for players. A “real” player at the Gold level will, of course, be ruthlessly dismantled by an actual Grandmaster. This resulted in unbalanced and simply unfair matches, where neither side enjoyed the game.
Fans feared that there was an “MMR reset,” a complete reset of the skill rating. According to Blizzard, this was not the case and should also not happen.
Blizzard halts the season: Only a few hours after the start of the season, Blizzard announced that they would postpone Season 18 for the time being. They are working on a fix that is likely to go live next week. What the exact issue is was not mentioned. Therefore, the “Beta Season” will be extended until Blizzard can provide a patch for the problem.
Were you also affected by the problem? Or was Season 18 already over too quickly for you to notice anything?
Who is downloading FIFA 20 already? In recent days, more and more users have been posting screenshots on social media showing that they can already download FIFA 20.
However, this is not possible on all platforms. Only Xbox One players seem to be able to do so at the moment, as these images show:
How is this possible? As several users confirm on reddit, it is quite normal for the Xbox One to download games this early. However, this is just a preload – you cannot play FIFA 20 yet.
Those who have preordered FIFA 20 on Xbox One can already download the necessary game data and wait nearly 4 weeks until it actually starts.
What is the download size: According to the screenshots, you need to prepare for around 43 GB. This is consistent with the information in the console stores:
According to the Xbox Store, the approximate size of FIFA 20 is 43.9 GB
According to the PS Store, you should expect a download of at least 44 GB
In the Origin store for PC, it is rounded up to 50 GB in required hard drive space
The current preload on the Xbox One is an early build of FIFA 20. You can expect a Day 1 patch to be released. Nevertheless, you can already save time and download FIFA 20 in advance.
What about PC with Origin Access Premier? The preload date for FIFA 20 on Origin Access Premier is September 13, 2019, at 7 PM. This is probably the earliest date to download FIFA 20 on PC in advance:

In this way, you uncover more and more stories that give you insight into the dangers that Appalachia is actually in. And the story keeps evolving:
Now it’s your turn: How well have you been paying attention? Have you listened to all the holotapes or just completed the tasks that your Pip-Boy set for you?
The story of Fallout 76 is long and branched out, and sometimes it’s not enough to just listen to what is told in the game. Interacting with other fans or researching in the wiki deepens your story knowledge and lets you dive even deeper into the world.

With The Division 2, the long summer break is now coming to an end. Massive reveals what is planned for September.
When does the summer break end? In recent weeks, it has been quite quiet around The Division 2. Massive announced a communication break and mentioned that they would likely be back by the end of August.
This silence has lasted a bit longer, though. The developers now write: “The summer break of the State of the Game is officially over, we will return next Wednesday.”
The State of the Game is a weekly livestream where the developers talk about the current state of the game and announce upcoming content.
The exact time of the return: The first State of the Game in September 2019 will take place on Wednesday, September 4, at 5 PM. You can watch the stream on Twitch, Mixer, or YouTube. We at MeinMMO will then summarize the content compactly.
A September full of info
What is planned for September? Next Wednesday, Massive wants to announce a concrete schedule for the upcoming shows.
Because during each State of the Game in September, they will focus on a special aspect of the game – and likely lay out how this will change or what is planned for the future. With this info offensive, they will approach the next title update.
In the SotG livestreams, they will also discuss what happened during the summer, want to talk about the Elite Task Force, and present new Agent highlights.
What does this mean? From this information, one can conclude:
In September, not much is likely to change in the game itself. Because they only discuss aspects of the game in each September SotG and slowly approach the next title update, which likely means that no update is to be expected in September. The SotGs are scheduled to take place on the 4th, 11th, 18th, and 25th of September.
What is the Elite Task Force all about? In mid-August, Massive was looking for community representatives to travel to Sweden to talk with the developers about the future of The Division 2. They will be presented with planned innovations behind closed doors, to which they can provide feedback.
About which “aspects of the game” is Massive talking? Likely about those that will also be discussed at the ETF. Namely, changes to endgame, loot, PvP, inventory, and likely even more aspects of the game.
What else is coming with The Division 2? While we can only expect info and no new game content in September, quite a bit is planned for autumn. After the next title update, Episode 2 called “Pentagon: The Last Castle” will start. You can read more information about the future here:
Recently, some Guardians spotted alleged raid gear from Destiny 2 Shadowkeep. This sparked heated debates in the community. Because these armors were basically just reskins of existing sets. Now it is confirmed – it is indeed the new raid gear.
This is what the sets are about: At the PAX West event, interested players can currently play Destiny 2 and take an early look at some new content from the Shadowkeep expansion and the upcoming Season 8 – for example, Armor 2.0 or new exotics.
During the playtest, attentive Guardians also found armor pieces that were declared as new raid sets from Shadowkeep. Because they apparently found them in the corresponding category of the collections.
Source: Reddit user tehr0b
What is the problem with these sets? The discovery led to all sorts of discussions. Many Guardians did not want to accept this and were disappointed or angry. Because upon closer examination of the footage, the community quickly realized: At least with the armors, they are reskins of the Omega Mechanos Eververse sets from the first year of Destiny 2.
Source: Reddit user MikaHyakuya
Quickly, some fans created comparison images that visualize the problem. The new raid gear is basically nothing more than just a reskin.
Source: MeinMMO reader Takumidoragon
That’s why there was confusion: Throughout the debate, there was a wild back and forth. A user claimed that the raid armor was not correct. He said he spoke with Bungie at the event. They explained to him that the armors came from the new activity Vex Offensive and not from the raid.
Source: Reddit
This somewhat calmed the heated atmosphere on Reddit. Fans had hope again that the raid sets could turn out to be more creative. But this news ultimately turned out to be incorrect.
This is what Bungie says: In order to dispel rumors and confusion, community manager dmg04 from Bungie spoke up in the relevant Reddit thread and explained: Yes, the leaked images do show the gear from the Shadowkeep raid Garden of Salvation. More details will be given soon.
So now it is confirmed: The new raid armors are indeed reskins and are based on the Omega Mechanos sets from Year 1.
What do you think about this? Can you live with a reskin as long as it is well done? Or would you have preferred more creativity from Bungie?
Some Twitch streamers from WoW Classic like to reminisce about the past – until it catches up with them instantly and painfully. This is what the streamer LIRIK had to experience.
With the ongoing hype around World of Warcraft Classic, many streamers have started giving the 15-year-old game a chance. Some are completely new to it, while others are “repeat offenders” returning to Azeroth after years. One such streamer is the player LIRIK, who fondly reminisces – only to immediately regret it.
This is what happened: The streamer LIRIK was on the run in the Redridge Mountains with his Mage. The Mage had no mana left, so he sat down after a few meters to eat and drink. During this, the Twitch streamer explained:
You know, I would say for players in stealth, it’s extremely satisfying when they find a sitting character and can execute a strong ambush on them.

Hardly had he said these words, he already regretted them. Just a second later, a (much stronger) Druid appeared in stealth and took him out with two powerful attacks.
Oh, damned guy! That’s exactly what I was talking about. Do you see? Very satisfying.
Sitting players are the ideal targets for assassins in WoW
Why is sitting so dangerous? In World of Warcraft, sitting is necessary to eat food or replenish mana through drinks.
What many players do not know is: When sitting, opponents effectively have a “opportunity attack.” This means that physical attacks against a sitting player will always deal a critical hit. This is an old mechanic that has been similarly borrowed from Pen & Paper times.
Such events are particularly devastating with strong “openers” like Ambush or Backstab from the Rogue.
Have you ever been backstabbed while trying to recover? Or have you been spared so far?
In the online shooter Fortnite: Battle Royale, developer Epic temporarily disabled the mechs in all game modes. You won’t encounter any B.I.E.S.T. for the time being. This is due to a bug that occurs when the mech jumps. The mechs are now active again – but not in all modes.
This is Epic’s announcement: On the night from Friday to Saturday at 1:49 AM our time, the message from Epic was shared on Twitter: They have temporarily disabled the mechs in all playlists while working to fix an issue that occurs during the “Air Stomp” attack.
As soon as they know more, they will update us.

Update 1.9. 9:48 AM: Epic has resolved the problem and the mechs are back, but for now only in the normal modes and the Limited Time modes. In the “competitive playlists”, they will remain disabled for a few more days. Epic announced this on Twitter.

In Pokémon GO, there have been 3 new Lures in the shop for a few months and recently also in the Jirachi research. But how do you best use the modules?
Here is how to obtain the 3 Lures: All 3 modules have been available for purchase in the in-game shop since mid-May. The new special research regarding Jirachi gives you each module once for free. You only need to complete the first stage of the research.
But what is the best way to use these items? We show you the best practices.
Effectively use Moss, Glacier, and Magnetic Module – Here’s how
The advantage of these modules is: All 3 modules attract double the number of Pokémon compared to regular lures. This is an advantage you should utilize in the right situations.
In these events, you should use them the best: Where it is particularly important to catch many Pokémon is at Stardust Events. There, each Pokémon yields more Stardust, making the modules ideal for this.
In the event, the Moss Module is especially important. It attracts Pokémon like Butterfree or Beedrill, which yield significantly more Stardust because they are fully evolved.
Using Lures outside of the event: If you want to use the modules outside of a Stardust Event, you should activate them collectively. Look for places where you have 4 or more PokéStops and activate the modules there.
The modules grant you lots of Stardust
It’s best if you can be on the move during this time. Always walk in a circle around the modules. This way, you can hatch eggs and have something to catch almost continuously.
Make sure to also use a Star Piece during this time. This way, you can obtain the most Stardust from the modules.
Team up: It’s best to do such module rounds together with friends. This way, everyone can contribute a few Lures, and you won’t be alone with the costs.
It took only a few days for Ragnaros to be defeated in WoW Classic . Just around four days after launch, the Fire Lord is history.
World of Warcraft Classic has only been released this week, yet the first raid end boss has already bitten the dust. The entire Molten Core, and thus Ragnaros, the Fire Lord, was conquered by a guild from Europe.
Who accomplished this? The winner of the race for the “World First” against Ragnaros in WoW Classic is the guild APES. They were the first to get enough players to level 60 and subsequently master the Molten Core. Particularly impressive: the Fire Lord was even defeated on the first attempt. There was no long learning phase; Ragnaros had to concede in his first battle.

What was the biggest challenge? The biggest problem was likely getting enough players to the maximum level. Ragnaros himself and the entire Molten Core require relatively little player skill and have only low equipment demands. A well-coordinated team that usually defeats mythic bosses in Battle for Azeroth should have absolutely no problems here.
Nevertheless, the time in which this achievement was made is certainly remarkable.
Is that it already? No. In the future, more “new” content will come to WoW Classic. In different phases various content will be added that were previously unlocked in the various patches. This includes not only PvP battlegrounds but also “fresh” raids like Ahn’Qiraj, the Blackwing Lair, or Naxxramas. So there is indeed a bit of content replenishment.
Currently, there are connection issues and login problems in Fortnite this evening on Saturday, August 31. Players are having difficulties logging in on PS4, PC, and Xbox One: Fortnite does not start. There is a current outage. Error codes 91 and 93 are causing problems with party functions.
Why is Fortnite not working? Fortnite has already experienced connection problems today on Saturday. These issues have intensified since the evening and are currently ongoing.
Players receive the message when trying to log into Fortnite’s servers: “A connection problem occurred while checking the service status.”
The problems are not due to individual players or a platform but are on Fortnite’s side.
Are the Fortnite servers down? The servers are not actually down. Those who are logged in can play.
However, there are issues with logging in. Those who are online in Fortnite should not log out if they plan to continue playing this evening.
It seems someone made it to the server room.
Login failed in Fortnite
This was the timeline of the connection problems:
The problems started at 3 PM German time.
Then Epic announced at 4:45 PM on Twitter that the connection issues in Fortnite had been resolved.

For now, Epic has postponed the tournaments scheduled for this evening by two hours. This affects the new Champion Series – also here in Europe:
Actually, this tournament was supposed to start at 7 PM.
The postponement to 9 PM likely means that Epic currently expects to resolve the connection problems by 9 PM. If that’s not the case and the server issues persist, Epic will surely continue to postpone the tournaments.
Update: Epic expects a longer outage – into the night
Update 9:02 PM: It seems it is taking significantly longer than 9 PM. Epic has now canceled the tournaments in Europe for Saturday and postponed them to Sunday.
The next date for competitive Fortnite play is 2 AM tonight. Then Round 1 will start in the USA.
Apparently, Epic expects the outage to last longer.
Update 9:32 PM: The login problems in Fortnite seem to have significantly subsided since 9:15 PM. Although there is still no official all-clear from Epic, it seems the worst is over.
Players can log in, but there are issues with groups
Update 10:45 PM: Epic has now officially given the all-clear regarding the login problems, but difficulties continue. Players report error code 91 and error code 93 in Fortnite.
Players are having trouble getting into lobbies and playing with others. Epic acknowledges these errors and is working on them.
