In ARK Survival Evolved (PC, PS4, Xbox One), it was thought that no more expansions would come and that the developers were already working on ARK 2. But now Studio Wildcard has introduced the ARK Genesis expansion. It is set to be released in two parts: the release of the first part of Genesis is in December 2019. The new features and creatures sound exciting.
Update January 23, 2020: The first part of the DLC Genesis has been postponed. The release is now on February 25, 2020. Part 2 is now planned for Winter 2020.
This is the situation: It was originally thought that the survival MMO ARK Survival Evolved would only receive two expansions after its release in August 2017:
In December 2017, Aberration was released, featuring the underground.
In November 2018, Extinction came out, an apocalyptic DLC.
It was known that the developers were already considering the idea of “ARK 2” and their new MMO Atlas was already running. In 2019, things became relatively quiet around ARK Survival Evolved.
But the developers now say: ARK is doing so well and is consistently in the top 10 on Steam. Therefore, they are allowing the title a longer lifespan than initially intended.
ARK Genesis Releases in 2019 and 2020
This is now the surprise: The studio has announced that they will bring a 3rd expansion for ARK Survival Evolved after all. On a teaser page, fans deciphered the message, “This is not Ark 2,” and then the announcement came:
The first half of Genesis will be released in December 2019.
The second half will come in the second half of 2020.
There is even already an announcement trailer for ARK: Genesis live.

A player in LoL (League of Legends) shows how he lost a game in a special way. An invisible “Ninja-ghoul” single-handedly destroyed the Nexus and surprised everyone.
This game is being discussed: On Reddit, player Drumingrl shared the result of a LoL match. It ended surprisingly for her and her team, as an apparently invisible minion alone devoured the Nexus. This went unnoticed during the game, and suddenly the team lost. It was only in the replay that it became clear what actually happened.
A special interaction between the champions Mordekaiser and Yorick caused Yorick’s summoned ghouls to apparently become invisible.
In the comments, there is a lot of schadenfreude. Drumingrl shared both perspectives: what the losers saw and what actually happened.
This is what the losers see:

How did this problem arise? Mordekaiser cast his ultimate ability on the opposing Yorick. Both players are dragged into a “death realm,” another dimension. For the teams, both characters are temporarily invisible during the ultimate. Just before leaving the dimension, Yorick used his ultimate ability and summoned a spirit (the Mistress of the Mist) that can bring ghouls (Mistwalkers) back to life.
After the ultimate ended, the spirit apparently remained invisible due to a bug and continued to summon ghouls. Both the spirit and the ghouls were invisible to both teams. These ghouls then attacked Drumingrl’s team’s base.
Yorick and the summoned ghouls
In the video, a player from Drumingrl’s team asks, “Why are the inhibitors still being destroyed?” Another replies, “No idea, that’s bullshit.”
One of the ghouls slipped through and single-handedly destroyed the Nexus. While the defending team focused on the middle lane and had no idea that their base was being secretly destroyed. Suddenly, the game was over.
This is how players react: On Reddit , this clip is particularly popular. Many people make jokes and say, “Yorick is probably the counter to Mordekaiser.” Another player writes, “LMAO, that’s tragic.”
The Yorick player from the shown encounter also took to Reddit and commented in the thread. He stated that he wanted to try what would happen if he used Yorick’s ultimate just before the end of Mordekaiser’s ultimate. Other users noted that many abilities are bugged when used towards the end of Mordekaiser’s death realm.
Man of Medan is coming out this month. In the trailer, the developers show how the decisions of you and your friends affect each other in co-op and how the Shared Story works.
What is Man of Medan? Supermassive Games is releasing the survival horror game “Man of Medan” at the end of August. Just like in Until Dawn, it will be scary. The story reveals that 5 friends are going on a diving trip and then encounter problems.
The players take on the roles of 2 people from the group. Each makes decisions for their respective character.
You can be spatially separated. While one player is diving, the other can chat with NPCs on the boat. Thus, both players simultaneously experience a completely different perspective of the story. Nevertheless, the players’ decisions impact the course of the story. Both can significantly change it.
You can hurt your friends: The decisions you or your co-op partner make can either have little or significant consequences. It’s possible that you make a choice that harms your friend, and he might even die.
In Man of Medan, all playable characters can live or die. The fate of the individuals is entirely in your hands. You decide who gets saved.
On August 30, Man of Medan will be released on Steam, PS4, and Xbox One. We have already played the game and share our impressions of the horror survival here:
In GTA Online there are glitches in horse racing that can bring players millions of GTA dollars in a short time. With these cheats, players fill their pockets, even though Rockstar actually fixed the issue.
However, in horse racing, there is a glitch that rewards players with far too high payouts. They earn millions of chips per hour, which they can then exchange for GTA currency.
For days, players filled their pockets with a glitch in horse racing. Then on August 7, the news appeared: “Rockstar has fixed the glitch in horse racing.” Players were sad that they could no longer exploit this mechanic.
Just a few hours later, there was a sigh of relief in the glitch community: “Guys, the glitch still works. Just a little differently.”
What kind of glitch is this? The horse race “Inside Track” in GTA Online is easy to explain. You bet on one of the 6 displayed horses. If the horse you bet on finishes 1st, you win chips according to the odds. The more you bet, the more you can win.
Thanks to a glitch, players are only deducted 200 chips, while in the background, the bet continues to increase. There are payouts of at least 20,000 chips for a winning race, even though you hardly spend any chips for it.
This way, players easily earn 1.5 million chips per hour. They can then exchange this 1:1 for in-game currency. Because you can even execute the glitch “afk” with a script, it is very popular.
On August 7, Rockstar fixed the original method of the glitch. This was shared by data miner TezFunz2 on Twitter.

But players found out just a few hours later how to continue cheating. This is evident from a look into the subreddit of the glitch community. By modifying a part of the glitch, it can still be executed. This is “a bit more inconvenient,” but it works just like usual.
In the middle the message that the glitch has been patched. Above and below are the new methods
Is it allowed to use the glitch? We advise against cheating in this glitch in GTA Online horse racing. This mechanic is not intended by the game. Some players on Reddit already report that after using this glitch for hours, they were banned from activities in the casino.
The head of Final Fantasy XIV, Naoki Yoshida, announced that some of the long and sluggish story quests of the MMORPG will be made more compact.
What did Yoshida say? In the past producer stream, the head of FFXIV answered player questions during a Q&A. He mentioned that the development team is currently working on shortening the story quests of “A Realm Reborn.”
The NPC Minfilia has become a running gag in the community because players often had to run around a lot because of her.
The quests are to be made more compact overall. The change is expected to come with Patch 5.3 next year.
This adjustment will be especially beneficial for new players starting with FFXIV and having to work through long lines of fetch quests from ARR.
Yoshida did not specify which aspects of ARR will be shortened, but it can be assumed that it will not impact the storytelling of the MMORPG.
Why is this a problem? While Final Fantasy XIV is praised by many for its great story, the beginning of the MMORPG is generally considered very sluggish. New players must play through the entire story before they can reach the endgame.
The story of FFXIV now includes 600+ quests.
Meanwhile, the starter quests of the “A Realm Reborn” storyline are considered rather uninteresting, even though they contribute to world-building. They mainly contain an extremely large number of fetch quests, which sometimes require a lot of running on foot.
This can also deter new players and is supposed to change in the future.
What does the community say? The information has received a large response in the community. On reddit, players voiced their opinions in a long thread on the topic.
Many said that while the length and amount of fetch quests did not bother them too much, the game would benefit from reducing the running around. Some also mentioned examples of fetch quests that annoyed them the most while playing:
[…] The one thing that annoyed me was the quest where you have to dump a bucket of water over a guy’s head: You take the bucket, go to the river, and use it. Ok, done, right? No, you have to put the bucket in the river. Then you have to click it again to fill it. Ok, now are you done? No, you have to click it again to pick it up. And every action has a preparation time.
Other quests from ARR have also received criticism. Players also mentioned the quest line leading to the battle against Titan as one they found to be the worst.
What’s next for FFXIV? After the release of Shadowbringers and the start of the summer event in FFXIV, the developers are now working on the next content patch number 5.1, which should go live in the fall. It will include, among other things, the following content:
Continuation of the Shadowbringers story
The first quests for the Beast Tribes of Shadowbringers
The 24-man raid for Nier Automata
Balance adjustments for jobs like Ninja, Samurai, Summoner, and some others
The Extreme version of the last trial of Shadowbringers
Players can also look forward to the “Festival of Rebirth” event at the end of August / beginning of September to celebrate the 6th anniversary of Final Fantasy XIV; data miners have already found hints for it in the game code. It will likely be accompanied by a 14-hour live stream from the developer studio in Tokyo, as has been the case in previous years.
The developers of Infinity Ward have now revealed fresh details about the kill streak system of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. And this should delight many players. Because there is something for every playstyle. Three approaches from previous series installmentsare combined.
What are kill streaks anyway? Kill streaks represent a special reward in multiplayer for numerous installments of the “Call of Duty” series that can be earned by achieving multiple consecutive kills.
A certain number of kills, for example, can reward you with a helicopter, a reconnaissance drone, or white phosphorus. You can then call them in at the press of a button at an opportune moment, giving the opposing team another round of heat.
The system rewards good players and teams who achieve many kills without being taken down themselves.
These systems also exist: In addition to kill streaks, there are also other systems in the individual series installments:
Score streaks: This system was last used in Black Ops 4. Here, special rewards are earned not (only) through kills but through points. This rewards not only players who make kills but also players who “play the objective” by completing tasks and thus earning points for their team.
In addition, there was the so-called specialist perk system in Modern Warfare 3. This allowed players to forgo regular kill streak rewards and instead unlock additional perks for consecutive kills, granting their character extra bonuses.
This is how the kill streak system works in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019
What is it like in Modern Warfare? The reboot of Modern Warfare will primarily rely on the kill streaks in its multiplayer – this will be the standard system. The developers have already revealed this some time ago.
However, to cater to all types of players, there will be options for the other systems to come into play if desired. These are, however, optional. And this is how it is supposed to work.
Score streaksare also possible: As the design directors Geoff Smith and Joe Cecot from Infinity Ward stated in the new developer blog post, there will be a perk called “Point Man” in Modern Warfare.
This will allow players to change kill streaks to score streaks if they prefer this system.
The specialist perk streaksare returning: The specialist streaks from Modern Warfare 3 are also set to return in the reboot of the series. These were only briefly mentioned in the blog, so Joe Cecot elaborated on them a bit more on Twitter.
This will allow players to completely forgo kill streaks and instead utilize the specialist system (no, not the specialists from the Black Ops series).
This will be an extra option in the perk menu that can be unlocked during progress. If selected, the kill streaks will be replaced with three selected additional perks, granting the operator additional bonuses with increasing consecutive kills.
Who is this new system aimed at? This system is clearly designed to offer players as many options as possible to fit their individual playstyle. With this design, Modern Warfare aims to provide something for every type of player.
Players who prefer kills can utilize the standard kill streak system. Players who prefer achieving objectives or supporting can earn their rewards with score streaks. And operators who want to equip their character with additional bonuses can also benefit from the specialist perk streaks.
And this is likely to delight many fans. Because when Modern Warfare first announced that they were returning to the kill streak system, there were numerous discussions on Reddit and other platforms. Many were dissatisfied and found the score streak system better. However, after the latest details were revealed, every player should be happy with the new system.
What do you think of this system? A good compromise that would make all types of players happy? Or do you only prefer one of these systems?
Out of nowhere, a PC MMORPG based on Dragon Ball appeared at the Chinese gaming fair ChinaJoy, where it was even playable.
What was there to see at the ChinaJoy fair? ChinaJoy is the largest Asian gaming fair, which took place last week in Shanghai. One of the countless games presented there was a new MMORPG for PC developed by Namco Bandai and Giant Network.
It is surprising that there has been almost no information about an MMORPG of such a major IP as Dragon Ball until now. The game has already gone through several closed beta tests and even has a playable demo version showcased at the ChinaJoy fair.
The title of the game is roughly translated as “Dragon Ball: Legend of Space and Time”. You can watch a long gameplay video here:

What do we know about the MMORPG? For now, there isn’t much information available about the MMORPG. So far, the only confirmed platform is the PC. The playable demo provided the following information:
There are 4 playable races: Sayajin, Majin, Namekians, and Earthlings.
The story seems to revolve around time travel, and Trunks is an important NPC character.
Players can visit several well-known locations from the Dragon Ball universe, such as Master Roshi’s Island.
There is a kind of upgrade system consisting of “implants,” and players can assemble a setup from available boosts. These enhance various stats like attack power or HP.
The Majin have the highest defense values of all 4 races, making them a sort of “melee tank.”
The Namekians specialize in ranged combat and also have healing skills.
Excitement about the game seems to be limited so far. The few reactions found online mention slow tab-target combat and that the gameplay “feels worse than many mobile games.”
Is there any information about beta tests or a release date? So far, at least two closed beta tests for the MMORPG have been held, but there is still no known release date.
Interestingly, the official website of the game has not been updated since May, despite having a booth with a playable demo at ChinaJoy.
What is this image? A few hours ago, a closed beta for FIFA 20 started for a select few. This is not available in Germany, but only in the USA and the UK.
It is said that the emblem of Piemonte Calcio has been leaked. This leak is currently spreading on reddit. Here is what the emblem looks like:
This is said to be the emblem of Piemonte Calcio in FIFA 20
EA Sports officially prohibits streaming the beta or posting images and videos from it online. However, the last few years have shown that not all participants adhere to this, revealing exciting information to the community rebelliously.
Where was this emblem displayed in the beta? According to a reddit post, at the start of FIFA 20, you can choose your favorite club to support. Piemonte Calcio also appeared with this emblem there. Piemonte Calcio is actually Juventus Turin, but the rights to it belong to competitor Konami, so EA Sports has to create a new name, a new emblem, and a new jersey for it.
This is how the community reacts: “For a fake emblem, this looks really good,” is the top comment under the leak. So far, over 500 people have agreed with this opinion. Many other comments state that it looks “really good” or “surprisingly good.”
Several users believe that this emblem looks better than the new official emblem of Juventus Turin. You can see the “real” emblem here on the chest of Cristiano Ronaldo from FIFA 19:
People are glad that the “Piemonte Calcio” logo instead resembles the old Juve emblem much more and incorporates some of its elements:
The old emblem of Juventus Turin. Source: staticflickr
The shape of the emblem, the arc in the middle, as well as an animal logo (but a different one) at the bottom in the middle have been retained, and the colors black and white dominate.
Is this the real logo of Piemonte Calcio? Keep in mind that this is a leak that has not been officially confirmed and comes from the beta. So enjoy the info with a grain of caution.
Are these the ratings of Piemonte Calcio in FIFA 20? The leak also shows the club’s team rating: 89 in attack, 84 in midfield, and 85 in defense. However, the ratings in the beta are not yet in their final form. There will certainly still be adjustments before the FIFA 20 release on September 27.
These are Ratings Predictions for FIFA 20: EA Sports usually reveals the official player values for the upcoming FIFA title only at the beginning of September each year. Until then, the community can express initial assessments and hopes regarding the ratings they would give to their favorite players.
Ratings Predictions are forecasts of the new player values from the community. And the following predictions are currently available for Bayern players.
Forecast for new player values for Bayern in FIFA 20
Where do the Predictions come from? On the futwiz website, FIFA fans can submit their predictions for each player, indicating what new rating they would give for FIFA 20. The average of all votes is then used as a prediction.
These new Bayern Ratings are predicted: In brackets, we show the old player value from FIFA 19, so you can see the possible development:
Manuel Neuer – 88 (90 was the old value in FIFA 19)
The FC Bayern Munich is guaranteed to be included in FIFA 20, even though Konami has secured a partnership with Bayern. We summarize which other teams are in FIFA 20 here:
Blizzard has confirmed that Hunter pets in World of Warcraft Classic will continue to be a source of constant joy. Their aggro radius remains unpredictable.
Last night, the final “Pre-Launch Test” for World of Warcraft Classic began. Blizzard took this opportunity to mention a few bugs that are not actually errors. However, there are still some fixes coming, as not everything is running smoothly in WoW: Classic. However, those hoping that Hunter companions would no longer cause chaos in the “new” Classic are mistaken.
These 2 things are not errors: Blizzard revealed two details about Hunters that are not errors. These are:
The rate at which companions regenerate focus is not always consistent.
The aggro radius of companions works exactly as expected.
Especially on the last point, Blizzard emphasizes that “as expected” actually means: It is chaotic and extremely inconsistent. This was the case back then and will be again.
What does this mean? For all Hunters and groups who take a Hunter along, this is likely to be a frightening message. This means that Hunter companions will frequently “add” and engage enemies that were actually far away. But that’s just part of the Classic feeling.
These bugs will still be fixed: Additionally, there are some bugs that were indeed errors and will be fixed by Blizzard before the release. These include the following issues:
Attacking (melee) resets the timer for the active “Auto Shot”.
When a quiver is equipped, the tooltip for Aimed Shot incorrectly shows a speed bonus, even though the ability does not receive one.
The Hunter’s quiver sometimes appears incorrectly on the Hunter’s hand instead of the equipped weapon.
There is a slight delay when using companion abilities (Hunter and Warlock) when activated via “Auto Casting”.
The animation and sound for Auto Shot play every time the target is switched while Auto Shot is active.
Hunter’s Mark is stackable with different ranks of Improved Hunter’s Mark.
Multi-Shot can hit totems.
Hunter pet abilities are not automatically pulled into the pet bar when learned.
Eagle Eye fails when selecting a location further than 100 meters away.
So there is still a bit to do before the release in about 3 weeks.
Are you already looking forward to the panicked apologies when Hunters accidentally pull hundreds of enemies again? Or should this detail have been changed?

This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
In many games like FIFA 19 , there is an idea circulating that Twitch streamers and YouTubers have better chances with loot boxes than regular players. Now, during a hearing, a detail came to light that at least gives new fuel to this rumor, but does not confirm it.
In FIFA 19, players buy card packs and then open them in hopes of drawing particularly strong players. However, the chance of getting the right superstars is virtually negligible.
Players believe that these chances might be manipulated.
The YouTube video of a pack opening for FIFA 15 has now garnered 40 million views.
Some FIFA players have felt for years:
I only get rubbish
But YouTubers or Twitch streamers often get super players
This idea of favoritism towards content creators has circulated – like the idea of momentum – for years in the community. Some dismiss it as selective perception or a conspiracy theory. But others firmly believe that something is fishy.
Until now, there has not been any real “evidence” but it has been referred to the realm of “player superstition”.
These pack openings are also popular on German YouTube and generate views – especially the exceptionally good ones.
Streamer manager says: It was considered just once
At a workshop on “loot boxes” by the US Federal Trade Commission, loot boxes were the topic.
Omeed Dariani, the CEO of a streamer agency, was asked here about the relationship between publishers and streamers regarding the topic of “loot boxes”.
In Star Wars Battlefront 2, loot boxes caused a lot of trouble.
He says: “Companies pay streamers to open loot boxes.” Although it is rare for someone to say: “Hey, just open a lot of loot boxes,” it does happen.
Dariani says: “I have definitely been in a room where a publisher said, we could give this person better chances with the packs if he opens them for advertising reasons.”
However, this has only happened once. Dariani does not say which game this was specifically proposed for or which publisher is meant. So it is not clear whether it was FIFA 19.
Further, it is not known whether a Twitch streamer or YouTuber ever really had “better chances”. What is known is that at least one publisher has toyed with the idea.
In Fortnite: Save the World, there are now transparent loot boxes.
Loot boxes are important for Twitch streamers
Why are loot boxes appealing to viewers? Dariani explains: “It’s exciting. You never know what will come out. You never know if they will get rare stuff. But hey, I don’t have to spend thousands of dollars to buy my own loot boxes, I can watch someone else do it.”
This is how streamers handle sponsorships: According to Dariani, streamers do not hide the fact that they are supported by companies. For them, it is a badge of honor.
They then tell their viewers: “Look, EA sees that my content is valuable. They pay me. They support my work and the community I have built.”
For many people, this is a validation and a signal of growth.
Paid pack openings create the impression of “better loot boxes”
Here’s what it’s about: From the information:
it becomes clear that streamers sometimes actually open loot boxes with “other people’s money”
but it is not clear that they really have better chances
However, publishers seem to be using streamers and YouTubers to promote loot boxes. Especially on YouTube, the videos with the very best openings get the most clicks. By highlighting these highlights, the feeling is reinforced that the chances are better than in the daily lives of players.
In the loot shooter Borderlands 3 there is unrest in the community a month before the release. YouTuber SupMatto made allegations that the publisher 2k had sent detectives to his home – following which others called for a boycott of Borderlands 3. 2k now confirms that detectives were sent. But the situation is different from how the YouTuber presents it.
This is the situation: About a week ago, a test stream went live, showing 4 hours of gameplay from Borderlands 3. A YouTuber reported on this “secret” stream. That YouTuber was Matt “SupMatto” Somers (featured image). He has been uploading videos about the Borderlands series on his channel since 2015.
As a result, the publisher of Borderlands 3, Take-Two, reportedly issued seven copyright strikes against SupMatto on YouTube and sent him two “Private Investigators,” as the YouTuber described in a video.
In the community, some expressed solidarity with the YouTuber and the hashtag #BoycottBorderlands3 trended for four hours on Twitter in the USA. One reason for this boycott call was that it should not be allowed for a company to intimidate a YouTuber like this.
2k says: We have been investigating SupMatto for 10 months
This is what Take-Two says now: A spokesperson for 2k says in a statement to IGN: “Take Two and 2k take the security and confidentiality of our trade secrets very seriously. The action we took this week was the result of a 10-month investigation.”
It is further stated that this “content creator,” meaning SupMatto, had long benefited from violating Take-Two’s policies and leaking confidential information about their products. He had violated 2k’s copyright.
This is what the YouTuber says: The YouTuber represented in the video that the official Borderlands YouTube channel had posted a hint about the test channel on YouTube on April 29 itself. This test channel for the stream of Borderlands 3 was not found by him, but was generally known.
YouTuber apparently knew too much
This is what the YouTuber allegedly did according to 2k: According to 2k, the YouTuber misrepresents the situation. He supposedly exploited a vulnerability in Twitch’s security system. The Twitch stream for Borderlands 3 was private, not public, as SupMatto states.
SupMatto reportedly published videos in 2018 that contained accurate information about characters and mechanics in Borderlands 3 that were not yet official:
The YouTuber is also said to have operated a Discord channel where he published further leaked information about Borderlands 3. Players gained access to this channel if they purchased a $5 membership for SupMatto’s YouTube channel.
Take-Two views the action against the YouTuber as part of their efforts to close leaks and maintain the confidentiality of trade secrets. They want to prevent such leaks from having a negative impact on fans and customers.
What happens next? IGN also states that Discord and Twitch are likely investigating the respective account of SupMatto. SupMatto’s Discord channel was allegedly locked 20 minutes after the visit of the private detectives due to “the sale, promotion, or distribution of hacks, cheats, or cracked accounts.”
2k and Take-Two do not seemingly want to take further action against the leaker.
SupMatto himself has deleted his Twitter account and announced a break from YouTube.
He will then see in September whether he will even play Borderlands 3. At the moment he is out. He seems to have been at the source for too long and now needs to step back from Borderlands 3.
In the second week of Season 10 in Fortnite, the missions “Colorful Shooting” are on. In keeping with this, you need to find 5 left-behind spray cans. We will show you the exact locations.
What is the exact task? The mission is “Find left-behind spray cans”. You have to find a total of 5 in order to complete the challenge.
The spray cans are scattered all over the map. There are more than 5 locations, but it’s enough if you find just 5. We will show you some locations here:
These are some locations of the spray cans
All locations of the left-behind spray cans in Season 10
Where should you search? The spray cans are often really well hidden and not directly visible. So take a close look at the indicated locations.
Spray Can 1: At the end of the lava river by the archway. The spray can is hidden behind the middle beam
Spray Can 2: In the small cave by the umbrella south of The Block. Go inside and directly in front of the barrels is the can
Spray Can 3: Behind the junkyard south of Paradise Palms. The spray can is located behind a tree there
Spray Can 4: In front of the disco northeast of Happy Hamlet. There is a container and a tent. You will find it right next to the tent
Spray Can 5: Far north of Junk Junction, you will find a pile of junk to the left of the basketball court. You can find the spray can there too
Spray Can 6: In the mine of Shifty Shafts, you will find a spray can directly behind a wooden wall. It is hidden behind a pillar
Spray Can 7: In the abandoned villa south of Lonely Lodge, you will find a spray can under a metal staircase

This gives you a hint: To let you know that you are searching in the right position, you will also find a graffiti of the skin Teknique near the can. It is the hint for the sought-after can.
This spray indicates the spray cans
How do I complete the task? You just need to collect each of the spray cans. If you have all 5, the task is considered completed.
Use this video: We will embed here a video of the exact locations. This way you can easily complete the challenge:

With Destiny 2, the release of Shadowkeep is slowly approaching. Until then, the developers want to share a lot of interesting information on important topics with the fans. We will show what Bungie is planning before the release.
What is Shadowkeep? Shadowkeep is the name of the upcoming fall expansion for Destiny 2. It will be released on October 1, 2019, for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
It will not only bring new content such as the Moon location, a new raid, or fresh exotics, but also numerous changes to the game – for example, to the in-game shop Eververse or the armor system.
What is the planned information flood about? Even though Bungie has already revealed some details about the new expansion, fans still have many unanswered questions – for example, about the new Armor 2.0 system or PvP. The studio aims to address many of these topics before the release of Shadowkeep.
Information roadmap until Shadowkeep – What Bungie wants to discuss
In the current “This Week at Bungie” blog, Bungie has now announced how they intend to satisfy the knowledge thirst of eager Guardians until October 1. The studio has a lot planned for this. Here’s what you can expect:
Insights into the learnings from Destiny 2 for Shadowkeep: Already next week (starting August 12), Destiny’s Franchise Director Luke Smith will release a kind of Director’s Cut on the current State of the Game.
In it, he will reflect on the past six months of Destiny 2, discuss what has been learned, and which changes will result from it for Shadowkeep.
This will actually be the first of two parts of the post. However, this part alone is expected to be over 4,100 words long. The second part is expected to follow shortly and will be of approximately the same length.
Armor customization preview: Also next week (on August 14), there will be a stream in which the developers want to highlight the new Armor 2.0 system and its possibilities. Bungie wants to show you how to “build a better monster-killing machine”.
In the live stream, the developers will assemble a Titan, a Warlock, and a Hunter. They will use various mods, artifacts, and ornaments on the armor and test the new builds in the sandbox.
Destiny 2 at Gamescom: Bungie will be present at the big gaming fair Gamescom, which opens on August 19 with the Opening Night Show (running until August 24). During the fair, there will be more new details about the Shadowkeep expansion.
The seasons in year 3 of Destiny 2: The developers also want to address how the seasons of Destiny 2 will change in the third year of the game.
So far, it is only known that the seasons will be independent of each other. This means they can all be purchased separately. So if you do not like the content of a specific season, you can simply skip it.
PvP in Shadowkeep: Many fans are curious about the future of Destiny 2’s Crucible. The developers also apparently want to address this topic before the launch. A PvP reveal is expected beforehand. Additionally, there should be an invite to the Crucible at the Penny Arcade Expo (PAX), which runs from August 30 to September 2.
What else is coming? Bungie has not yet provided an explicit answer to this. However, the studio emphasizes that the previously announced topics are just a few highlights, and there will be more. Everything will be compressed into a kind of final push in September.

Borderlands 3 has released the final trailer for its four playable characters. This time it focuses on the long-awaited Beastmaster FL4K, who leads various pets into battle.
Who is FL4K? FL4K is a kind of cyber being that is fond of animals. With a horde of adorable monsters, he traverses the wasteland and confronts various psychos that ambush him.
FL4K is on the hunt with pets
What can be seen in the trailer? FL4K appears to be an experienced hunter who can easily see through cheap traps like those set by the psychos in the trailer. He can turn invisible and thus surprise the psychos. When they sound the alarm for a major attack, he calls his animals for help.
These are:
A kind of insect with a mechanical drill for an arm
A kind of monkey monster
A creature that seems to love chasing cars and appears somewhat dim-witted.
Additionally, FL4K can summon flying beasts that attack enemies from the air.
You can find the video with FL4K and his animals here:

The new mission challenges in Season 10 of Fortnite this week feature the theme “Colorful Shootout.” One of the prestige tasks requires you to visit 2 billboards covered in graffiti in a single match. You can find out where the billboards are here.
This is the challenge: To tackle the prestige missions of week 2 in Season 10 in Fortnite, you need to visit billboards adorned with graffiti. You must visit two of them in a single match.
Since these are prestige tasks, you will only see them once you have completed all regular seven challenges of the Colorful Shootout mission.
All locations of the graffiti-covered billboards in Season 10
Where are the billboards? Fortunately, the two required billboards are not far apart. You can find them here on the map:
You can find detailed descriptions of the locations here:
Northeast of the hill with “Grandma’s House” at the intersection near E7
Directly in front of the entrance to Shifty Shafts, next to the Reboot Van
The two billboards have a large smiley face with a “GG” on it. It is sufficient to simply visit the billboards. You do not need to spray them or interact with them in any other way.
Is there a video for this? We have embedded a video from YouTuber Tabor Hill here. In it, you can see in detail how to find the billboards with the graffiti. Have fun!

What you should pay attention to: In itself, the path between the two billboards is not too long. But malicious players might be lurking there. So land quickly and sail directly to Shifty Shafts right after registering the first billboard at E7 and watch out for sneaky foes.
You might also try it in the Team Rumble mode, as you have respawns and do not lose your progress if you get killed.

In Pokémon GO there is the new update 0.151.0. Especially 3 innovations should please many fans. We show you what it has to offer.
What kind of update is this? The update 0.151.0 is currently being rolled out. This means that not all players can download it yet. In the coming days, you can certainly expect all the innovations.
There are no huge features, but data miners have found new Crypto Pokémon and some visual adjustments.
More Crypto Pokémon have been found in the game data
The most important innovations in update 0.151.0
These Crypto Pokémon have been found: The update has included 20 new Crypto Pokémon. These include:
Diglett, Dugtrio
Krabby, Kingler
Shellder, Cloyster
Geodude, Graveler, Golem
Kangaskhan
Rhyhorn, Rhydon, Rhyperior
Murcrow, Honchkrow
Hippopotas, Hippowdon
Hawlucha, Gible, Gabite
The Hawlucha family could soon also appear in the Crypto version
Although all Pokémon were found in the update, they are not yet in the game. When Niantic will release these monsters in their Crypto version remains to be seen.
Are new hats coming for Pokémon? A discovery in the game files surprises the data miners. Pokémon like Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, and Pikachu were found with the suffix “Fall”, meaning “Autumn”.
It is now suspected that these Pokémon might wear a hat at an event in autumn. Something will definitely happen with these Pokémon, as otherwise they wouldn’t have been found with this suffix in the code.
Fights in PvP mode are now clearer: This small change delights thousands of players, as it was really annoying, especially in battles against Team Rocket: You can now see the HP display during team selection in the PvP mode.
This was not possible before, which is why you didn’t know whether your team was healed or not. Now it can be seen at a glance.
What else is new? Otherwise, there have mainly been visual adjustments. Hatching eggs now has a new animation that somewhat resembles the animation when releasing Pokémon.
This is what the animation looks like now. Source: Reddit
Additionally, the ball size has been readjusted again after it was changed with the last update. Accordingly, the Pokéball is also back in front of the circle when thrown and not behind the circle. This was also introduced with the last update.
The Safari Zone in Canada starts in September. Even we German players have something to gain from it:
With Title Update 5 and the “Episode 1 – D.C. Outskirts: Expeditions” DLC, The Division 2 received some new content in July 2019. What’s inside? And how does the first of three planned DLCs for Year 1 fare? We reveal for whom the new content is now worthwhile.
What are the DLCs about? For the first year of The Division 2, 3 DLCs are planned, which will be released in an episodic format and will continuously provide new content for the tactical shooter.
These DLCs are available for free to all players—except for some secret missions—even without the Year 1 Pass. Owners of the pass get 7 days of early access to these new contents.
On July 23rd, “Episode 1” became available for Year Pass holders, while all other agents have been able to play this first DLC since July 30th on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
What’s inside Episode 1 – The Contents
The “Episode 1” DLC is called D.C. Outskirts: Expeditions, and as the name suggests, it takes agents to the wooded outskirts of Washington D.C.. There, players can discover new missions and a new PvE activity.
These are the new contents:
Two new story missions: Players can now undertake two new main missions outside Washington D.C.:
Manning National Zoo
and Camp White Oak.
These are full-fledged missions that can easily match in length and presentation with other main missions in the game.
In the zoo, agents need to hunt down and eliminate the Outcast leader Emeline Shaw, who has recovered from her defeat on Roosevelt Island and has now barricaded herself with her followers in the zoo.
In Camp White Oak, you need to attack the Black Tusk and capture one of their leaders. This elite mercenary group has taken over an estate deep in the forests near Washington, which you must now cleanse.
A new PvE activity – Expeditions: This is a kind of puzzle activity on the wooded edge of Washington.
The Expeditions take you to the grounds of Kenly College, where you must complete different tasks in three different sections to find friendly survivors and uncover the fate of a lost military convoy. During this, you can demonstrate your exploration, puzzle, and combat skills.
The Expeditions are somewhat larger than the regular story missions in the game.
New secret missions: Owners of the Year 1 Pass can also look forward to two new secret missions called Classified Assignments.
These are somewhat shorter missions that delve deeper into various events surrounding the fall of Washington D.C. These secret missions place a strong focus on the story. For example, you learn more about the civilian population or some factions in the game.
The two new Classified Assignments are called “Central Aquarium” and “NSA Site B13.” They take you to an aquarium complex where you need to rescue civilians being besieged by the Hyenas, and to a secret NSA base that you need to cleanse of the Black Tusk.
New Exotics: With Title Update 5, two new exotic items came into the game. However, even though they were declared as part of the update, they can only be obtained through the new content of Episode 1.
The exotic gloves BTSU-Gloves can be obtained as a random drop from the end boss of the new main mission Camp White Oak
New weapons: Also with Title Update 5, 2 new firearms have been introduced to the game. While these can drop randomly everywhere, you will certainly receive these weapons from the two new story missions of Episode 1.
The Stoner LMG can be obtained during the initial playthrough of Camp White Oak
The Carbine 7 assault rifle is obtained after mastering Manning National Zoo for the first time.
New cosmetic collectibles: There are also new contents for collectors. In addition to numerous new mobile phones and recordings, there are also 5 new backpack charms. All of them can be found in the Expeditions or the new secret missions of Episode 1.
What else has changed with Title Update 5: The first DLC was released hand in hand with the major Title Update 5. This included numerous changes and improvements to the game. Included were among other things:
The fans have mixed feelings about the new content.
Pro: The numerous changes that came into the game with Title Update 5 are especially highlighted positively. The overhaul of the skills has been particularly well-received – finally skill builds like the Bomber Drone are genuinely useful.
Both of the new Exotics are strong and are well-received by the fans. Furthermore, the two new story missions from Episode 1 are praised. The missions are exciting and interesting, and the new environment is simply great. Many agents wish for more like this.
Many agents see no reason to engage in this activity permanently after having mastered all three sections once and secured the new weapon exotic and possibly the collectibles there.
Overall, the content volume is considered too small by some fans. Once you have played the two new missions, as well as the Kenly College and the 2 small secret missions as a season pass holder, you’ve essentially seen everything new. Had the expedition sections not been staggered in release, many would have already completed it all on the first day, according to some players’ criticism.
Whether the numerous changes from Title Update 5 and the two new Exotics with their respective new build possibilities can keep the fans entertained until the next content drop in the upcoming fall remains doubtful for many players.
Who is it worth it for?
Anyone who still enjoys The Division 2 and has stayed engaged despite the lack of new content will have plenty of reasons to continue doing so, especially due to the many changes from Title Update 5.
Especially with the changes to the skills and the two new Exotics, there are now numerous new build possibilities that want to be tested. The new missions and the Expeditions are essentially a nice addition that further expands the world of The Division 2.
However, those hoping for substantial content that can keep them engaged for the long term will likely be disappointed.
Also, anyone who has taken a break and wanted to check back in with the new DLC won’t be able to benefit from the new content for long.
The Expeditions offer little replay value after a single playthrough, while the new story missions are designed quite well but ultimately offer nothing really different from the rest of the game. At least they bring a bit of variety. But even the secret missions are unlikely to be played again by many.
In short, the new contents are quite limited and quickly consumed. After that, The Division is essentially the same game regarding truly relevant long-term content as it was before the “Episode 1” DLC:
So anyone who was not really happy with the volume and activities in the game before the DLC will not be satisfied with it after its release – at least not in the long run.
However, those who had fun playing The Division 2 before are likely to continue to enjoy it with the DLC and the update.
Conclusion: It can be confidently recommended to anyone who already enjoys The Division 2 to log in and at least run through the new missions and Expeditions once. They are definitely fun!
Those who want more will continue to play anyway. The rest had at least a few hours of something new to see in The Division 2.
What do you think so far about Title Update 5 and the “Episode 1” DLC? Let us know in the comments.
In The Division 2, you can build a strong PvE build around the Diamondback. This deals over 1.2 million damage.
The build revolves around this weapon: The Diamondback is an exotic rifle that has been obtainable since 06.08 through the Expeditions of Episode 1.
The exotic immediately catches the eye with a striking design, and the community is divided on whether it’s cool or horrifically ugly: a rattlesnake winds around the barrel:
The weapon talents:
Painful Bite: The Diamondback randomly marks an enemy. If the enemy is hit, the mark is removed, and a critical hit with +20% total damage is guaranteed. Afterwards, or after every reload, a random additional enemy is marked.
Long Fangs: After hitting 5 marked enemies, +50% reload speed and +20% total damage are granted, and all shots fired are counted as critical hits for 10 seconds.
Skin Shedding: While the weapon is drawn, +20% additional armor is granted for 3 seconds with each round loaded. If the weapon is in the holster, +8% bonus armor is granted for 2 seconds each time during reload or weapon switch.
This is the build: The YouTuber NothingButSkillz presents his build around the Diamondback, which allows for over 1.2 million damage per shot. With this, you can kill named elite bosses with just 2 shots.
The build is designed primarily for PvE and fully relies on critical hit damage and headshots. In the video, the build is presented, and we explain it further in German:

Focus on these stats: A high damage output is at the forefront of this build. Skills should be fully neglected. You should have around 270,000 armor, 93,000 health points, and a proud 0 skill power. You need 12 offensive (red) and 7 defensive (blue) attributes.
Take this weapon with you: The important weapon is the Diamondback. The mods improve:
+10% precision
+10% damage against elite
+10% stability
+10% critical hit damage
These are the armor parts:
Mask from Murakami Industries with bonuses on health points and +42% damage against elite (mod). The talent is called Relentless and gives +10% damage against elite enemies. Thus, the mask alone grants +52% damage against elite.
Chest from Overlord Armaments with bonuses of +8% weapon damage, +18.5% critical hit damage (mod), and +7% headshot damage. The talents are “Unstoppable Force” (killing an enemy grants +2% weapon damage per 25,000 points of maximum armor value). With the mods, you can further increase rifle damage and armor.
Holster from Gila Guard with bonuses on health points and +13% critical hit damage (mod). With the mods, further increase rifle damage and weapon damage.
Knee pads from Overlord Armaments with bonuses on total armor and the talent Relentless. Here too, you increase weapon damage and rifle damage with mods.
Gloves from Overlord Armaments with bonuses on health points and +10% rifle damage (mod). The talent is Precise, which grants +15% headshot damage. You could also use the Relentless talent here.
Backpack from 5.11 Tactical with bonuses on 8% weapon damage (mod), armor, and health points. The talents are Relentless and Hardened (+10% armor). Improve weapon damage and rifle damage with the mods.
These benefits come from the brand sets:
3 pieces from Overlord Armaments provide +10% rifle damage, +7.5% armor, and +7% damage against elite
Murakami Industries grants +8% health points with one piece equipped
Gila Guard provides +5% armor with one piece equipped
5.11 Tactical gives +5% protection from elite with one piece equipped
In short: Improve rifle damage, weapon damage, critical hit damage, and damage against elite to create a true damage monster in PvE. Also improve armor to stay on your feet.
Overall, you should now be showing around 160,000 weapon damage, 87% critical hit damage, 22% weapon damage bonus, 51% rifle damage, 99% damage against elite, and 92% headshot damage with the Diamondback.
Over 1.2 million damage in practice
These are the skills: With the skills, you can choose the ones you prefer. For example, use the Reviver Drone and the Booster Chem Launcher to avoid going down too quickly, especially when playing solo.
This build may not be for everyone
This is how you play the build: If you quickly and accurately hit the marked enemies and thus activate the exotic talents, you can deal enormous damage with the Diamondback. The strength of this exotic depends largely on your precision and your ability to quickly target enemies. If you miss a shot, the buff resets.
Therefore, this build is mainly recommended for PC agents. You should be able to reliably land headshots. But with good aim, you can have fun with it on any platform.
