The 8.2.5 patch of World of Warcraft contains a fun quest. However, there are signs that it is just a fake from Blizzard…
The next patch of World of Warcraft can be tested on the PTR for a few days now. The Update 8.2.5 is still in an early state, but data miners are already diligently searching the game files for news and secrets.
In the process, they have found a rather strange quest. It is a bit silly, and this raises doubts about its authenticity. So far, only the “broadcast texts” have been read out, i.e., what NPCs say.
What is the quest about? The quest takes place in the Emerald Dreamway and involves several druids (and their companions and followers) who want to uncover a “terrible mystery.” Thisalee, Arthur, and some other druids are currently playing a game called “Don’t wake Naralex.” Apparently, they must take turns annoying the sleeping druid Naralex without waking him up.
The Emerald Dreamway is the druid order hall.
During the game, they then hear a loud scream and rush to the scene. The forest nymph Mylune has screamed in panic because someone has apparently cruelly killed some rabbits. After a brief inquiry, “Detective Arthur” (as he calls himself) teams up with Thisalee to follow the trail.
In the process, the druids ask various characters, such as the fairy dragon Sparkle. Arthur even talks to a squirrel to find out something. This dialogue consists only of the words: “Squeak, Squeak, Squeak” – and that for quite a while. After the other druids praise and admire that he can apparently speak the “squirrel language,” he only comments on it with the words:
“No, I can’t. That didn’t help at all.”
This silliness permeates all the texts of the quest series.
It reads more like an adventure of a small group of children rather than a story of adult druids. That it seems so suspicious has another reason.
Is Blizzard just playing a joke on the data miners?
The DNT is suspicious: It is particularly noticeable that before every sentence in the quest series the note “[DNT]” can be found. This stands for “Do Not Translate” and is a hint for the various localization teams. It can really only mean two things:
The texts are not final, and some details are still being changed.
The texts do not need to be translated because they are a “fake.” They are a placeholder to obscure a story that is supposed to take place here.
Therefore, the suspicion arises that Blizzard has inserted a silly quest as a distraction to test the mechanics of the quest while not revealing the real contents yet.
Whether Blizzard just wants to mislead the data miners here or actually introduces such a “silly” quest that may lead to a dark secret remains to be seen. In any case, the story writers seemed to have a lot of fun creating this quest.
What do you think of this quest series? Could it come into the game like this? What could Blizzard be hiding there?

With Legends of Aria, an MMORPG once again joins Early Access on Steam. Fans of the genre can look forward to the opportunity for a new adventure. However, those expecting high-end graphics may be disappointed.
What is Legends of Aria? Legends of Aria is a classic old-school MMORPG that primarily plays on the nostalgia of fans who have grown up with the genre. It is said to be quite similar to the well-known MMORPG Ultima Online.
The originally planned significant influence of PvP has been reduced to some “lawless” regions, allowing Legends of Aria to cater to both PvP players and explorers. The MMORPG is being developed by a small indie studio, so one should not expect a massive AAA title.

A long-standing wish of the community is being fulfilled: Apex Legends is getting a solo mode. However, it will only be available for two weeksas part of an eventand fans are still excited.
What kind of mode is this? The new solo mode is part of the “Iron Crown Collection” event. This event was announced by the official Twitter account of Apex Legends.

How does the event work? The centerpiece of the event will be a solo mode. Instead of teaming up in groups of three, you will compete alone. More details, such as the number of players per match or specific rules, will be shared later.
Since the trailer already showed a gladiator skin for Bloodhound, a pirate skin for Mirage, and another skin with armor for Lifeline, we assume these will be earnable.
The three skins from the trailer.
How long does the event last? The “Iron Crown” event kicks off on Tuesday, August 13. It will end again on Tuesday, August 27. Whether and when the mode will return is yet to be seen.
That’s why a solo mode is coming
What the developers say: In addition to the Twitter post, there was also a thread on reddit regarding the event. Here, the developers mentioned that more details will be shared in the coming time.
However, it is also stated that with the event, the solo mode is being “tested”. It almost sounds like the event is a kind of trial run or beta phase for the promised upcoming modes, which could include a solo mode.
What the fans say: Even though the event is just a limited-time opportunity for a solo mode, players are extremely excited:
Holy shit, is this really happening?! I love this approach. If it works, awesome! If not, they can change it with our feedback.
A solo mode has been a wish of the players since the release of Apex Legends. The call for solo and duo alternatives has come up repeatedly. The new event is a first step in this direction.
Players are also recently wishing for another mode without weapons:
In Season X of Fortnite there are now some missions to complete. This includes destroying stop signs with the outfit Catalyst. We will show you the locations of these signs.
What is the mission? The exact task is: “Destroy stop signs while using the outfit ‘Catalyst’.”
We will show you the best places where you can find the most stop signs. This way you won’t have any problems completing the mission.
Stop sign locations on the Season 10 map
This is where searching is worthwhile: The best place to search is likely Pleasant Park. However, you will need to travel to several locations to complete the task. We will show you on the Season X map which places are best:
Search in these 3 locations for the signs
Pleasant Park: At least 8 stop signs
Salty Springs: 3 stop signs located right next to each other
Mega Mall: At least 2 stop signs located in the small residential area
What is the best route? We recommend that you start in Pleasant Park. Once you have found the 8 signs here, go to Salty Springs. Directly at the spawn bus, you will find 3 stop signs in close proximity.
Most stop signs are located in Pleasant Park
If a teammate has already smashed the signs, then try your luck directly in the neighboring town of Mega Mall. You will also find at least 2 signs near the few residential houses there.
You must consider this: Do not complete this task later in a round, as other players may have already smashed the signs.
Once a player has smashed a stop sign, no one else can do it anymore. So you need to be quick.
How do I get the special outfit “Catalyst”? You receive it directly with the Battle Pass. You just need to equip it and you can start the round.
This video will help you: We will embed a YouTube video here that shows you some locations again. This way you can’t miss the signs:

What else is new in Season X? To ensure you don’t miss anything about Season 10, we will embed some articles here. This way you will have all the information at a glance:
In the new city Tilted Town in Fortnite: Battle Royale, no one is actually allowed to build. However, clever players are tricking the game and are still building there. We show you what it looks like.
The location Neo Tilted is quite new in the game with its bright colors. Previously, it was called Tilted Towers. Now it has been changed again. After the appearance of a mysterious machine, the location is now called Tilted Town and resembles a Western town.
What does the new location mean? Those who visit Tilted Town will be greeted by an overlay on their screen. In the city, building or harvesting material is not allowed. One of the core features of Fortnite: Battle Royale.
Normally, players smash trees, rocks, and buildings and collect material from them. From this material, they build stairs or massive constructions to protect themselves from opponents or to attack them strategically. This is not possible in Tilted Town. Actually.
This is how players build anyway: It took only a few hours after the update on Tuesday for players to find out how to circumvent the building ban. They are being creative and simply tricking the developers’ rules.
On Twitter, a player shared a video showing his glitch. He initially demonstrates how the building ban appears in the game. Entering the city triggers a message that explains it.
Then he accesses the driftboard that he was using. He skillfully shoots it into the zone of Tilted Town.
Quickly, it becomes clear that no entry message for the zone appears on the screen. Fortnite does not seem to recognize in this way that the player is actually not allowed to build. As a result, no building ban rule takes effect. The player can now easily create stairs and more there.
Another method is to cleverly execute building outside the zone so that you fall into the building ban area. A chain of events then ensures that building is permitted.

By exploiting these glitches, one gains an unfair advantage in Fortnite. We advise against using these glitches and hope that the team from Epic Games will soon provide hotfixes for this.
In Destiny 2, today, on August 6th, is the Weekly Reset. There are new weekly activities and challenges for the Guardians. Additionally, fresh Nightfalls and a new Flashpoint are ready.
Complete the Flashpoint on Mars and its accompanying adventure to earn 2 powerful rewards.
Werner/Benedict 99-40 has 4 new weekly bounties available. Each of them is rewarded with a powerful reward. If you complete all 4 tasks, there is an extra powerful reward. Additionally, there are 3 more powerful rewards waiting for you in the Menagerie. However, you should have made appropriate upgrades to your Chalice of Opulence for that.
All powerful weapon forms of the Black Armory are available from Ada-1.
For completing 20 bounties of any kind this week, Ikora Rey will reward you with a powerful item.
If you diligently collect clan XP, Hawthorne will reward you with a powerful reward. 5,000 clan XP are required for this. Further powerful loot can be earned by completing the bounties “A Troubling Affair”, “Endless Battle”, “Stay on Target” and “Restricted Blessing”. Each bounty is rewarded with a powerful reward.
Petra Venj is currently (Curse week 3) found in the Rheasilvia region of the Dreaming City. For powerful rewards, you should master Petra’s mission, the 8 daily bounties, and the 1st Ascendant challenge. You receive a powerful reward for each of these tasks. Furthermore, until the next reset, the Shattered Throne can be contested, which is required for the masterwork upgrade of a piece of the Solstice armor. But don’t worry, you have more than just this week to do it.
The weekly bounty “Blood Splicer” from Spider grants you another powerful reward.
These are the Bright Dust highlights of the Eververse:
Fortnite: Battle Royale has not only received a new zone with Tilted Town, but also a new gameplay mechanic: build restrictions. This is optimal for noobs, like our author Jürgen. But what about the rest?
What is the new zone? With the update to patch 10.0 today on August 6, 2019, the already leaked new zone Tilted Town entered the game. The future city Tilted Towers, built in season 9 with its skyscrapers and wind tunnels, has now given way to a western town that resembles the old Tilted Towers in layout.
In Tilted Town, you will find special western weapons, such as the hunting rifle, the revolver, and the double-barrel shotgun. As soon as you enter the area, your character will be dressed in a western outfit.
Tilted Town abolishes building!
What’s there in Tilted Town? The major feature in Tilted Town is that the zone radically separates itself from Fortnite gameplay. Because for a long time, the big unique selling point of Fortnite has been building. And that is not possible here. The entire Tilted Town cannot be built upon. You can only walk around and shoot. Even breaking down and destroying surroundings is no longer possible.
A shootout ignites immediately in Tilted Town!
What are players doing in Tilted Town? Instead of hiding behind walls at the first sign of gunfire, it gets lively in Tilted Town, and players are shooting and jumping like crazy. As a result, players in Tilted Town quickly diminish each other, as many people are jumping off there right now, and soon after, a wild search for loot begins and chaotic shooting ensues.
What you see here is exactly what Fortnite would be without building: a fun, colorful shooter with somewhat eccentric bloom on its weapons. And I love it!
No building allowed! Anyone getting shot here must know how to defend themselves in another way.
I wouldn’t go that far, but the idea of building a house in response to gunfire in a shooter has never been a lot of fun for me. I much prefer grabbing a gun right after landing and mowing down opponents before they can gather materials to build.
Later in the game, I often fell victim to bunker pros who shot at me from fortifications erected in seconds, unless I managed to take them out right away.
In Tilted Town, however, there’s always this cool early-game dynamic, and you can hunt down the enemy in the best old-school shooter style with a gun in hand, and they have no walls or fortifications to hide behind.
At the start of the new zone, it was always well attended. Will that stay the same?
If it were up to me, Epic would gladly expand the build-free zones further and introduce them in other places as well. This makes the game more exciting for everyone in my opinion:
For noobs, because they can have successes even without building.
For veterans and pros, because you have to change your strategy and can’t always rely on things working out like before.
This is how the new zones could continue: Of course, the situation with Tilted Town and the building ban is a risk for Epic. Because anyone landing there has a clear disadvantage in the mid and late game, especially since you can’t break anything in Tilted. Resources will inevitably be missing later.
Therefore, it is quite possible that Epic will let Tilted Town disappear as quickly as it appeared and will continue to introduce new zones with special rules like build bans throughout the season. They will likely remain as long as they are new and exciting, and then disappear again.
But I’m fine with that, I enjoy the new Tilted and delight in the tears of people who desperately try to build a wall when someone approaches with a shotgun.
But enough of my noob confessions. What do you think about the building ban in Tilted Town? Cool thing or a stupid idea to stage Fortnite without its most important feature?
Borderlands 3 has released the trailer for the third Vault Hunter. This time we see the brutal Brawler Sister Amara. The Siren just wants to beat people up and tear them apart with her Siren powers.
Who is Amara? The focus of the new trailer for Borderlands 3 is Amara, the Siren among the new Vault Hunters. Sirens were previously young women who possess special mystical powers and usually fill some sort of magician or supporter role.
That is different with Amara. She is not a delicate girl, but a muscle-packed Amazon. Her Siren powers manifest among other things in six ghostly arms that beat up enemies in close combat.
So much was already known, but now we finally see Amara in her own trailer in action.

What can be seen in the trailer? In the new character trailer for Borderlands, we finally see the Siren Amara after the lonely killer Zane and the tough Mech pilot Moze. She just loves to fight. Beating up people is incredibly fun for her.
But unfortunately, no one wants to take her on, and all enemies prefer to flee rather than be crushed by her. This makes Amara sad and unfulfilled. She is a sort of star with many fans, but she just wants to brawl. Is that really too much to ask?
Therefore, she roams the wasteland, but even the usually violent psychos do not want to fight her. However, in the end, a few psychos do join, and due to their numbers, it becomes a lot of fun for both sides in the end.
Amara should be the ideal Vault Hunter for anyone who likes to deal heavy damage at close range.
What is still missing? Of the four Vault Hunters from Borderlands 3, three have now been introduced in more detail, including Amara. Only the mysterious masked character FL4K, who can control various beasts, is left. We will probably see a trailer for FL4K in the next few days.
When is Borderlands 3 finally coming out? You won’t have to wait much longer, as Borderlands 3 will be released on September 13, 2019. Which Vault Hunter will you play? I, Jürgen, have just fallen in love with Amara.
More details about Amara and her skill trees can be found here:
The new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare actually wants to “return to the roots” of CoD with its realism. However, studio art director Joel Emslie now explains that there will be Tamagotchis in multiplayer – and why these 90s gadgets are allowed to be there.
What is a Tamagotchi? Tamagotchis are a trend phenomenon from the late 1990s. These devices are small eggs that are carried in your pocket and constantly demand attention. A kind of digital pocket pet.
Tamagotchis were often carried around as keychains or other accessories by teenagers. Inside the small eggs, a digital chick “lives,” which periodically checks in to be fed, washed, or taken care of. If you ignored the creature, it would die.
How does this work in CoD? In the upcoming Modern Warfare, the Tamagotchis are integrated into the wristwatches. The wristwatches are a small detail feature that allows players to customize a character.
The chick version of these watches is called “TamaGUNchi” and it feeds on kills. To keep it alive, you must eliminate opponents in the multiplayer mode.
Actually, the wristwatches are just a cool feature that can also tell the time. As a Tamagotchi, however, it adds a completely different dimension that doesn’t quite fit the realism claim of Modern Warfare.
Annoying 90s Gadgets
– and you are to blame
That’s why CoD now has Tamagotchis: The reason Emslie pushed for the TamaGUNchi is the players’ desire for individuality. The fans’ obsession with the wristwatches is, to put it bluntly, responsible for this:
People have really latched onto the wristwatches we have in the game. They are curious about how they will evolve. We will also do strange things with the watches. […] The [TamaGUNchi] is something unique, where we got creative. I told the developers: “Can you make it live and grow when I get kills in multiplayer?”
With these details, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare aims to give players the opportunity to add more individuality. Emslie is curious to see how the response will be.
Infinity Ward has already stated that they will not use multiplayer to depict the “atrocities” of war. The multiplayer mode is more of a playground and clearly separated from the single-player experience.
So far, the community has reacted rather negatively to another feature:
In the online shooter Anthem the big update finally went live today on August 6th. It weighs 12 or 15 GB depending on the platform and finally brings the event Cataclysm, which was originally scheduled for May. We look at the patch notes for 1.3.0 on PC, PS4, Xbox One.
What kind of update is this? After a 3-hour server downtime, the long-awaited update 1.3.0 is finally here. This is the update that Anthem fans have been waiting for months.
The patch is about 15 GB on PC; on PS4 and Xbox One, it is said to be 12 GB.
Today, it is finally here, and the first significant update in months goes live.
One of the new weapons now available in Anthem.
Anthem 1.3.0 – the patch notes
Here are the highlights of the patch notes:
A new story mission is coming
The event Cataclysm starts – it was originally scheduled for May. The Cataclysm brings a new zone where players can complete activities and earn points. The new game mode is expected to evolve over time.
You can download a guild app
A new “Inversions” system is coming, where you interact with the environment. These are special effects that are active during the Cataclysm. BioWare believes players could adapt their play style to the respective effect: For example, using shotguns because they do more damage, or wearing less armor when the inversion provides advantages.
Additionally, there are masterwork items for all Javelins and their slots – allowing players to finally carry masterpieces or legendary items everywhere.
In the difficulty levels Grandmaster 2 and 3, the shields and health points of enemies have been drastically reduced – this is supposed to make the levels less grindy and more rewarding.
Furthermore, melee combat has been completely overhauled.
Numerous bug fixes are listed.
Big question: Is it worth the download?
How are players reacting? There is cautious optimism. The big question right now is: Is it worth it to reinstall Anthem for the patch?
We will report on Anthem and the update 1.3.0 on MeinMMO in the coming days.
For the moment, there is a great sense of relief that Anthem is actually continuing.
The Chinese studio Rampage Games has released a new trailer for the upcoming free-to-play title Genesis. The game, made with Unreal Engine 4, actually looks quite good. But it seems to come a bit too late.
What kind of game is this? Genesis will be a free-to-play MOBA for the PS4. It takes place in a science fiction setting and already previews 27 different playable characters.
The gameplay is classic: In a 5-vs-5 match, players face off against each other, push the fight along various paths (lanes), and try to destroy the enemy’s main building.

As a MOBA, it seems to be arriving a few years too late. The genre had its hype long ago – before Battle Royale games. Already at the beginning of the year, when Genesis was announced, doubts arose about whether the game would be successful.
What are MOBAs? Multiplayer Online Battle Arenas, or MOBAs, are a genre that has emerged from strategy games. The first MOBA, Defense of the Ancients (DOTA), was a mod for Warcraft 3.
Since then, more and more MOBAs have emerged. The most popular and well-known ones are likely League of Legends, SMITE, and DOTA2. They still manage to attract large numbers on Twitch and at tournaments.
The reigning champion League of Legends or DOTA2 probably cannot be displaced by Genesis.
When is Genesis releasing? Genesis is set to release as a free game for the PS4 in mid-August. On the official website, you can already sign up for upcoming info and snag a small bonus for the game.
What Genesis Offers
These features the game offers: We don’t know much about Genesis yet – except what it looks like. The Unreal Engine 4 does a good job here and presents a MOBA with quite impressive graphics.
Otherwise, the game feels like a classic representative of its kind. There are multiple lanes, minions, and a jungle. However, Genesis does offer some pretty cool characters who promise amusing scenes:
Skelter, a laser fox that somewhat resembles Rocket Raccoon
Jones, a space pirate with an octopus face (Hello, Davy!)
Sion, a salamander in a power suit – looks like Earthworm Jim
Chris, a small, fat nerd with biochemical weapons
The characters will be leveled up over 16 levels, skilled, and equipped with items. The controls are said to be “tailored for consoles.” We are curious to see how the game will develop.
Recently, Sonyrevealed which new monthly PS Plus games will be available to all PS Plus members in August 2019. These free games are now available for download. We will take a closer look at them.
In August, you can download the following new PS Plus games with a PS Plus subscription:
Wipeout Omega Collection
Sniper Elite 4
When will the PS Plus games be released in August 2019? You can download these free games now from the PS Store.

Where are the free games for PS3 and PS Vita from PS Plus? Since March, you only receive free games for PS4 in the PS Plus subscription. There are no free games anymore for PS3 and Vita.
Wipeout Omega Collection
What is Wipeout Omega Collection? Here you play a futuristic racing game where you can choose from 46 unique ships. You race through the air at high speeds and have 26 tracks to prove your skills. There are 9 game modes available.
In curves, loops, and surprising drops, you need to show that you have the best control over the ship.
It also gets explosive as you use bombs, mines, and rockets against your rivals. These races are accompanied by the beats of Swedish House Mafia, The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers, and DJ Kentaro.
You can play online with a total of 8 players or offline in split-screen with 2 players.
Who is Wipeout Omega Collection for? Wipeout clearly targets racing fans who enjoy high speeds. If you also want to blow up your opponents with explosive weapons, you should definitely check out Wipeout Omega Collection.
Rating in the PS Store: 4.5 out of 5 stars from 3046 ratings.

Sniper Elite 4
What is Sniper Elite 4? Want to prove your skills as a sniper? In this shooter set in WW2, you can exercise many freedoms as a sniper. Your goal is to free Italy from the grip of fascism. And this takes place in many different levels.
Using the sniper rifle, important targets are eliminated to complete missions. This requires experience if you want to judge the trajectory correctly. The shrapnel X-ray cameras that make the kills even more interesting cannot be missing.
The campaign can be played with 1 or 2 players. There is also a co-op mode for 2-4 players and a competitive multiplayer mode for up to 12 players.
Who is Sniper Elite 4 for? This clearly targets players who grab the sniper rifles first in shooters. If you’ve always liked handling the AWP in Counter-Strike or want to get kills from several hundred meters away, you should be well accommodated in Sniper Elite 4.
Are you looking for bargains for the PS4 in the PlayStation Store? Then take a look at the Summer Sale, which is still active this month.
How to get the free PS Plus games?
If you want to grab free games for your PS4 every month, you need a PS Plus subscription for that. It costs about 60 € per year, but you can also participate monthly or quarterly.
Every month you then receive 2 free PS4 games as digital downloads. There are additional benefits for subscribers with special discounts in the PS Store and access to online multiplayer.
If your membership ends or you take a break, that’s not a problem. Because the PS Plus games that are already in your library will remain there along with their progress in the library. You just won’t have access to them outside of the PS Plus subscription. If you then renew the subscription, you can continue to play the games.

The end of Season 17 in Diablo 3 is in a few days. Which classes currently lead the rankings in Solo, Duo, Trio, and Quad? And how has this changed throughout the season? Find out here.
What are the best classes? Based on the ranking of Diablo 3, it can be determined which classes are currently progressing the furthest in the Greater Nephalem Rifts. In solo play, there is a class focused on intelligence at the top. There was a tight race at the top between Wizard and Necromancer throughout the season. Who is leading now, just before the end of Season 17?
The current leaderboards of Season 17 in Diablo 3
The data used comes from the official seasonal ranking in Diablo 3. We are looking at the normal mode, not Hardcore. The status is from August 6 at 1:30 PM. The time taken to reach the respective level in the Greater Nephalem Rift was measured.
Solo: The Wizard is currently leading the list again. Throughout Season 17, it was a close race with the Necromancer.
Level 142: Wizard – 13 minutes 46 seconds
Level 140: Necromancer – 13 minutes, 9 seconds

Duo: In the duo ranking, the combo of Monk and Wizard was at the top at the beginning, mid-season it was Necromancer and Barbarian, which has held up until the end of the season.
Trio: At the beginning, a combo of Wizard, Demon Hunter, and Monk was in demand for Trio. In the middle, it was Monk, Necromancer, Wizard, and now towards the end it is Necromancer, Wizard, Barbarian.
Quad: In the four-player combos, Barbarian, Monk, Necromancer, and Wizard were in demand at the start of the season. This class combination has not changed significantly until the end of the season.
It is quite possible that small improvements in the ranking will be noticeable in the last days of the season. However, significant changes in the class rankings are not expected, as after almost 3 months most players have reached the gear they wanted.
Blizzard will help to reunite old friends. But you need to participate to find your old WoW buddies again.
The beginnings of World of Warcraft are now almost 15 years ago. Those who were in a guild with many friends back then may have lost sight of these friends over the years. Some have quit the game or completely withdrawn from gaming. But with WoW Classic, Blizzard wants to give players a chance to reconnect with old friends.
How does it work? In the official forum, the Community Manager Toschayju started a thread that leads to a whole chain of further posts. Here, players take turns selecting where they played back then and answering the following questions:
Were you active in the Horde or the Alliance?
Did you play on a normal, PvP, RP, or RP-PvP realm?
On which realm were you active?
After that, you’ll end up in a thread that exactly matches your realm and faction. There, you will have to create a post yourself.
What should be included in the post? The idea is to create a “player registry” from back then. Therefore, you should mention the following things in a post:
Name, race, and class of your character
The guilds in which you actively played
The names of characters you want to reconnect with
It is important that you do not include any real-life information about other people. Real names or other real-life information have no place in the official Blizzard forum, and such posts will be deleted.
Does it even work? The whole system only works if many players participate. The more people you can get to create a post in the relevant areas, the more likely it is that networks will form and players will find each other again through several connections.
Old friends reunited – thanks to Battle.net, you can now also stay in touch across platforms. For example, in the current WoW or other Blizzard games.
A tip for the end: It might be worth searching on old hard drives or computers for screenshots from the past. You often discover some familiar characters you might have forgotten by now.
In The Division 2 you can now get the Diamondback. It is a vicious exotic rifle. What the Exotic has to offer and how you can obtain it, you will learn in our article.
Since when is the Exotic in the game? On July 23, 2019, Episode 1 “Washington’s Suburbs” started for season pass holders. On July 30, the new main missions of this DLC were also unlocked for all other agents for free. So it’s worth checking out The Division 2 again.
As part of this Episode 1, the exotic rifle “Diamondback” was introduced, which can finally be obtained starting from August 6. The Exotic immediately catches the eye with its striking design: It is entwined by a rattlesnake.
But: Is the weapon any good – and how do you get it?
How to obtain the Diamondback – Here are the locations
This is how you obtain the Diamondback: To have the Exotic in your hands, you must master all three expeditions. The expeditions take place in and around Kenly College:
Kenly Library
Kenly Subway Station
and Student Union
Expeditions are new activities that lead you to undiscovered places and want to test your exploration, puzzle, and combat skills.
What you need to keep in mind regarding the expeditions: Since August 6, the Student Union is finally unlocked as the third and final part of the expeditions. This means that the new weapon Exotic can now also be obtained – provided you have completed all three expedition sections.
You will receive this new weapon by looting the chest in the Kenly Chapel. Access to this building on the college grounds will only be unlocked once you have successfully mastered all three expedition sections.
The Kenly Chapel (circled in red)
Enter the chapel from the side through the basement. Right after opening the door, you will encounter the large yellow chest from which the Diamondback will spawn. Here you can see the path again in the video:

What makes the Diamondback special: It is a lever-action rifle with a magazine of 5 rounds and a fire rate of 100 shots per minute. The Exotic represents a variant of the 1886 rifle . The reload time is 3.4 seconds.
The weapon talents:
Painful Bite: The Diamondback randomly marks an enemy. If the enemy is hit, the mark is removed and guarantees a critical hit with +20% total damage. Subsequently, or after each reload, another random 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: As long as the weapon is drawn, +20% additional armor is granted for 3 seconds with each round reloaded. If the weapon is in the holster, +8% bonus armor is granted for 2 seconds every time you reload or switch weapons.
A marked target
In practice, this means: If you hit the marked enemies quickly and accurately, you can deal massive damage with the Diamondback. The Skin Shedding talent ensures that you stay on your feet while doing so.
The strength of this Exotic largely depends on your precision and your ability to quickly target enemies. If you miss a shot, the buff will reset.
Weapon controversial in early tests of The Division 2
Is the Diamondback any good? So far, the weapon has only been playtested on the test servers, with several users stating: This thing is interesting!
Others consider it “trash” since it enforces a strange playstyle, requires precise hits, and only has 5 shots in the magazine. However, compared to the PTS, the talents were made more effective. How well it will perform in the main game can ultimately only be shown by the future.

When choosing your weapons, one shouldn’t go by looks; however, the Diamondback is one exception where you might make an exception. The hunt for it is worth it for everyone: Because who wouldn’t want to play with a rifle that is entwined by a snake?
After Giovanni, the head of Team Rocket in Pokémon GO, has been quiet for a while, he is now back.
Who is Giovanni? This villain is already known to many fans from the console games. There he led Team Rocket and was also a Gym Leader.
In Pokémon GO, he only briefly stepped into the spotlight. Via Twitter, a message from him appeared, announcing that he was done with his machinations for the time being, but there was no more information. However, it seems that the leader of the gang is back.
Giovanni in Photobomb at the GO Fest
Players report: Trainers from the GO Fest in Yokohama report seeing Giovanni in a photobomb. Therefore, when they take photos of their Pokémon during the event, it’s not Farbeagle that jumps into the frame, but Giovanni.
This is how you see Giovanni at the GO Fest. Source: Reddit
What’s behind the photobombs: Several Rocket grunts already jumped into the frame during the first GO Fests and thus announced Team Rocket. Shortly after the event in Dortmund, the grunts then appeared in the game.
Players speculate that Giovanni could also be teased this way and then enter the game at a later time. After all, it was the same with the normal Rocket grunts.
In Chicago, Team Rocket could be encountered.
What could Giovanni do? On Reddit , players are crafting the craziest ideas surrounding Giovanni and his role in Pokémon GO.
The hottest theory is that Giovanni will occupy the Gyms in the game. The normal grunts are therefore surrounding the PokéStops, while Giovanni takes a step further and occupies the Gyms.
This could introduce legendary Shadow Pokémon that have already been found in the code.
User “Thatkayen” speculates that Giovanni could come into the game around a storyline, and we might have to battle the boss at the end. This would be a first in Pokémon GO.
The worlds in MMOs and MMORPGs can be vast. Crossing them can take many hours. The YouTuber “How Big is the Map” has made it his mission to do just that. On his channel, he walks through various games, often for hours at a time.
What does the YouTuber show? In his videos, the Dutchman showcases game worlds that he explores entirely on foot. His focus is primarily on open-world games. He traverses them from one point to the farthest possible distance. He does not use shortcuts or tricks.
The YouTuber started at the beginning of 2016 and has since walked through various MMOs and MMORPGs. At the beginning and end of his videos, he speaks briefly, but the remaining hours are set to music.
In the meantime, he has gained nearly 15,000 subscribers. His videos have been viewed over 2.2 million times in total.
From 1994 to today, everything is included
Which games has “How Big is the Map” explored? The list of games he has already traversed is extremely long. The release date of the games doesn’t play a major role.
What was the longest march? Some games have endless, regenerating maps like Minecraft. However, some only pretend to do so.
Thus, the Dutch YouTuber also walked through Daggerfall, released in 1996, for which he needed 11 videos and a total of 69 hours and 33 minutes to explore.
In the end, he did reach the end of the map, which had continually reshaped itself. There, he found a lake that he could not cross.

How much does DCUO cost? Even on the Switch, DC Universe Online is free to play. Here you can download it from the Switch store via the official site.
Can accounts from other versions of DCUO be transferred? Unfortunately not. You have to start over on the Switch. However, the Switch version will have the same content as the other versions of the game.
Is crossplay possible? At least at the launch of DCUO, there is no crossplay. However, the developers do not rule out that crossplay could be introduced at a later date.
This is how the start in DC Universe Online works
How do you start the game? First, you decide on a side. Do you want to play heroes or villains? This will determine, among other things, who your superhero mentor is:
Heroes get Batman, Wonder Woman, or Superman as mentors
Villains can choose between the Joker, Circe, or Lex Luthor
Next, you choose your weapons and superpowers, which you will have as a B-class DC hero. You select your powers from several traits. Depending on your role, there are various sensible choices:
Fire and Ice are ideal for Tanks
Nature and Sorcery are suitable for Healers
Controllers use Gadgets and Mental powers
Then you choose weapons, including staves, pistols, martial arts, and bows.
The next step specifies how you will move quickly through the world. Here you have the classic flight, super speed, and acrobatics.
Finally, you build your individual appearance.
However, you can purchase additional powers, weapons, and movement patterns via microtransactions.
After you finish your hero, a tutorial begins, and afterwards you find yourself in Metropolis or Gotham City, where you complete missions for your mentor.
