Hey, Bungie! These weapon exotics are still missing in Destiny 2

In Destiny 2, many exotic weapons from the predecessor can now be found. Bungie repeatedly brings back popular firearms from part 1. But which weapons exotics are still missing? Is almost everything really back?

What is the deal with the returnees? In Destiny 2, the entire arsenal of Guardians was destroyed during the assault on the old tower, or so Bungie justified the hard reset at release. Guardians could not keep their gear from part 1 in the successor to Destiny.

However, since the release of Destiny 2, Bungie has consistently brought back numerous exotic weapons from the predecessor – the latest of which just returned in Season 7. And it looks like, after Bad Juju or the Primus, more firearms from Destiny 1 will return with Shadowkeep this autumn.

Although some fans are undeniably happy about the return of an old love like Dorn or SUROS Regime, there is also significant criticism. It is said that almost everything is back, so one might as well play Destiny 1. The word “recycling” comes up repeatedly.

But which weapon exotics are still missing from the first part? Is almost everything really back? Which ones would you like to see in the game? We take a closer look at the remaining exotic arsenal from Destiny 1.

[toc]

These exotic primary weapons from Destiny are still missing in Destiny 2

destiny-necrochasm-ansicht

Necrochasm: This is an auto rifle closely connected to the Hive. Some fans therefore consider it very likely that this weapon could possibly return with the Shadowkeep expansion this autumn.

destiny-vex-mythoclast

Vex Mythoclast: An iconic fusion rifle from the Vault of Glass with a unique firing mode that completely turned around PvP in Destiny 1 for a while. This weapon exotic is definitely one of the biggest fan favorites. A return would therefore be quite conceivable.

destiny_rise_of_iron_new_weapons_khvostov_7g-0x

Khvostov 7G-0X: The exotic version of the very first weapon that your Guardian got their hands on in Destiny. However, this auto rifle was never particularly popular with fans. Therefore, a return is not considered likely.

Zhalo Supercell: A very popular auto rifle that could chain lightning between enemies. However, this weapon is likely not to return, as the submachine gun Risky from Destiny 2 essentially already has the same effect.

Destiny-Monte-Carlo

Monte Carlo: This auto rifle is currently the only weapon that is considered a guaranteed return in the context of Shadowkeep. Keen fans spotted the weapon in the shown material for the upcoming autumn expansion.

destiny-fabianische-strategie

Fabian Strategy: An exclusive Titan exotic and at the time one of the worst exotic weapons in the game.

The First Curse: A solid exotic hand cannon, of which Destiny 2 probably has enough by now.

destiny-falkenmond2

Hawkmoon: There have already been various rumors about a potential return of this popular hand cannon. A leak suggested that Hawkmoon might return in Season 7, but no sign of the weapon is available yet.

Destiny-red-death

Red Death: This popular pulse rifle is unlikely to return, as in a modified form this weapon already exists – in the form of the exotic hand cannon Crimson.

No Time to Explain: A cool pulse rifle with an intriguing quest and lore. However, it never really belonged to the major fan favorites. However, the weapon was apparently spotted in the material for Shadowkeep, so it could return.

Tlaloc: A scout rifle exclusive to the Warlock class, which was popular with many players.

Boolean Twin: A scout rifle that not many will really remember. This firearm was not particularly popular. Therefore, a return is probably not very likely.

Destiny-Touch-of-Malice2

Touch of Malice: This unique scout rifle is one of the greatest highlights and most popular exotic weapons of Destiny 1. Many fans have been calling for a return of this weapon ever since. Now some fans hope that with the return of Eris Morn in Shadowkeep, this wish might finally come true.

destiny-kein-land-außerhalb

No Land Beyond: A niche weapon that is very popular among good snipers (the only one for the primary slot), with which one delivered duels for the most spectacular kills. Devrim Kay, the NPC in the EDZ, already uses this weapon in Destiny 2.

Universal Remote: This shotgun (the only one in the primary slot) was once considered a good choice for the primary slot, until it eventually vanished without a trace after some changes.

Exotic versions of raid weapons: In addition, there were some more exotic weapons in the primary slot, which were simply exotic versions of numerous legendary raid weapons like Vision of Confluence, Fatebringer, or Crota’s End. Thus, we will not list them explicitly here.

On the next page, we will continue with missing special weapons.

Rainbow Six Siege addresses annoying issue – but later than you want

On a blog post on the official website for Rainbow Six Siege, Ubisoft continuously collects issues or requests from the community. A major obstacle that has existed since the launch has now also made it onto the list. The debris problem could finally be addressed in year 5, meaning 2020 – possibly.

What problem is it? Ubisoft collects on the official website for Rainbow Six Siege in a post issues or requests that particularly concern the community. This is meant to give players a point of contact for errors and bugs and provide a timeframe when developers will address the issues.

Among others, sound bugs or connection errors are on the list, but also that sights deviate by a few pixels from the center in some situations.

Also, an ancient problem that has been around since the launch has now made it onto the list: Debris occasionally gets stuck in windows or doors, which can lead to players having a completely different line of sight than their opponents.

Rainbow Six Siege

Why is this even a problem? Effects like debris are calculated client-side in Rainbow Six Siege. The results are then specific to the player’s game client and not consistent across the whole server.

This can mean, for example, that a player’s view is blocked by a pile of debris while their opponent may have a clear line of sight.

When will this be fixed? Ubisoft has now included the problem in their collection – nearly four years after the release. However, this does not mean that players can expect a quick fix.

On the website, Ubisoft states that they potentially aim to resolve the issue for Year 5 Season 1. That would be in 2020.

Ubisoft is also mean to players in epic videos.

Rainbow-Six

We are currently in the design phase to determine how we want to tackle this issue. We are exploring and prototyping various options.

What do the players say about it? In the R6 subreddit, players can hardly believe that a fix for the debris problem has to wait so long or that it might only be expected in 2020. One player writes that the inconsistent debris is a massive disruption to gameplay and that Ubisoft probably hardly understands this issue.

Other players indicate that the problem with the debris has existed since the launch and they can hardly believe it might only be resolved in Year 5. Especially, since Ubisoft also relies on eSports with the title.

Fallout 76 will be easier for new players from now on – Patch Notes for Patch 11

Patch 11 is currently being rolled out for Fallout 76 on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. The update aims to make the entry into the game easier. We summarize the highlights for you.

This is the patch: Today, on July 16, Fallout 76 went into maintenance around 4 PM. Patch 11 will be deployed, which will then be available for all players.

This patch has been long awaited. A few days ago it was announced for today.

How long will the maintenance take? Typically, the work lasts only a few hours. By evening, you should be able to play again.

How big is the new patch? There are differences between consoles and PC:

  • Size on PC: 2.5 GB
  • Size on consoles: 5.5 GB

Fallout 76 – Patch Notes for Patch 11 from July 9 in English

Fallout 76 makes entry easier: Especially newcomers can look forward to Patch 11. Several adjustments have been made to facilitate entry:

  • All players below level 15 are less susceptible to diseases
  • All players below level 25 can fast travel cheaper
  • Some enemies have been made easier, especially in regions where many beginners are located
  • The challenges in the starting phase have been revised and now offer more rewards, which are especially important for the start

This especially appeals to players who joined Fallout 76 with the new Battle Royale and are still having problems with food.

Additionally, the items you collect are now clearer. You can directly see what recipes and mods you can use and what can be created from them. You can also see the attributes of legendary items directly in the trade, sale, and container menus.

A major wish of the community is fulfilled: The “large amounts” of junk will be adjusted with the new patch. Junk will only be broken down when you need it for crafting or repairs, not when you press the “Scrap All Junk” button. This has long been requested by players.

How the Power Armor is being revised: Patch 11 brings many revisions to the Power Armor. These will mainly involve changes that you will hardly notice.

This is intended to resolve many bugs and ensure that using this armor will now be smoother.

As a result, your equipped Power Armor may have landed in your inventory. So if you’re not wearing it anymore, check there.

What other changes were made? Bethesda has also made additional small adjustments. For example, several balancing changes were made in Nuclear Winter and weapons were changed.

In addition, there are various bug fixes, such as during the C.A.M.P. setup or with the shooting sounds. You can find all the exact changes in the patch notes on the Fallout website.

Only players of No Man’s Sky understand why this screenshot is so brilliant

An ingenious player has recreated the moon landing in No Man’s Sky for the 50th anniversary and has hit the mark within the community. We will tell you why that is.

What is this screenshot about? The user vaughanarama posted on Reddit of the space game No Man’s Sky a screenshot where he recreates the famous scene of the American moon landing from 1969. For this, he has gone together with his spaceship to a moon-like landscape and rebuilt the scene.

The thread on the topic quickly received over 2,545 upvotes (as of July 15, 16:58) and has thus become a real hit. In the subreddit of No Man’s Sky, posts with over 100 upvotes are already rather rare.

Recreated scene of the moon landing in No Man's Sky
“One small step for man, but a …” History meets pop culture.

That’s why the screenshot is so special for the community: The enthusiasm for the action is closely linked to the gaming experience of No Man’s Sky. Players embark on an almost endless journey of discovery through a vast universe with their spaceship.

The planets, moons, fauna, flora, and environmental conditions are randomly generated by the game. First discoverers may permanently assign a name to celestial bodies and living beings.

The first moon landing has a symbolic character for No Man’s Sky. The journey into the unknown and the first steps on new terrain are integral to the gameplay of the space exploration simulation. The fact that such a historical scene can be re-experienced from the comfort of home after 50 years is surely also a highlight for space enthusiasts.

It is precisely this enthusiasm for exploring the infinite vastness of space that may have ensured that this screenshot is so well received in the No Man’s Sky community.

Scene from No Man's Sky
The planets in No Man’s Sky can exhibit such abstract structures.

Some players can of course hardly resist alluding to the theory of a staged moon landing in 1969.

For instance, bloodyblister isn’t quite sure if the screenshot wasn’t taken on the No Man’s Sky film studio planet.

By the way, this summer a massive update called Beyond will be released, which is supposed to expand No Man’s Sky with more multiplayer and social features.

Where does the information come from? The Japanese website of One Piece reported about this first. Afterwards, the Japanese site of Pokémon GO also shared such a report.

Will there be Shiny Pikachu? Nothing is known about that yet. However, it is certainly possible, as the last event Pikachu have all appeared as Shiny.

However, there were also some Pikachu with hats that could not be caught as Shiny. This includes, for example, the Pikachu with straw hat from last summer. So there is no guarantee for the Shiny.

This is also happening in Japan: As part of the event, there will also be special PokéStops in One Piece design in the Kumamoto prefecture in Japan. However, these will not affect us German players.

Are you excited about the new event Pikachu or are you already fearing the longer transfers with the monster?

Today the World First race for Azshara begins in WoW – Here’s how to watch

In World of Warcraft, the hunt for the World First has broken out again. Many guilds are participating in a joint event this time.

In World of Warcraft, turbulent days are starting again – at least if you enjoy the races of the professional guilds. The Eternal Palace opens its doors at the mythic difficulty level, which means that the “World First” race of the major guilds is starting again. Method and Limit, as well as other large guilds like Aversion, From Scratch, or Big Dumb Guild, will try to claim the World First kill on Queen Azshara.

Method hosts a huge event: The guild Method has tried this time to inspire as many guilds as possible for the event. Therefore, you can not only see the progress of Method. Many other guilds are also participating in the event. These include, in addition to Method itself, the following large guilds:

  • Alpha
  • Ji Tiang Hong
  • Skyline
  • Aversion
  • From Scratch
  • vodkaz
  • Big Dumb Guild

For viewers, this means more insights into the race than ever before.

Who will send Azshara to the boards first?

The whole thing is being broadcast by TakeTV from Germany. So if you live near Krefeld, you might run into a professional player or two.

Here’s how you can watch: Those who want to follow the event live can do so on Method’s Twitch channel. We have embedded it here for you:

The channel will be streaming 24/7 until the First Kill is achieved. This can take several days or even weeks, depending on the progress of the individual guilds. In the last race, it took more than 300 attempts just to finally defeat Jaina.

The last race was exciting – and took a long time.

The starting signal will be given this afternoon (July 16th) at 3:00 PM. Then there will be a bit of preliminaries before the servers in America go online again. The Americans have earlier access to the new raid due to time differences and other maintenance times.

Are you excited about the “World First race”? Which guild are you betting on? Will you follow the race or just wait for the winner?

Teamfight Tactics Guide: How to make the transition to the late game successfully

One of the biggest challenges in Teamfight Tactics is the transition from early to late game. Sometimes you even need to completely change your team for that. Since that is difficult, we want to help you with this step.

Why is the transition to late game so crucial? In Teamfight Tactics, there are many combos that are particularly strong at the beginning of the game.

Three Nobles, four Knights, or two Wild Champions can grant you early winning streaks. But Noble Champions like Vayne or Fiora are generally not suitable for the late game; they decline too much, even at level 3.

A switch to a strong combo is necessary, but this change is not easy. You are essentially working on two fronts simultaneously, the units on the field and those in the bank.

In this guide, we want to share tips and tricks with you on how to make the transition easier. If you want to get familiar with the game first, you can find an introductory guide on MeinMMO.

LoL Teamfight Tactics Auto Chess

Everything starts with a clear plan

Am I planning already in the early game? In the first rounds of the game, it usually doesn’t determine how your team looks in the late game. There you can first choose good champions and try to win the initial rounds.

In the mid game, during stage 3, a plan should gradually crystallize about where to go. Influences on your plans include:

  • The champions you have found so far
  • The items you have found so far
  • The direction of your opponents
More on the topic
Teamfight Tactics: With these strategies you win your matches
von Alexander Leitsch

How do I build my team? If you’ve already collected Sorcerers, Elemental Mages, Assassins, or Ninjas, then it can certainly be useful to follow that call and build your team in that direction.

More important than the champions, however, are the items you have found. A team of Ice Chosen and Archers makes little sense if you haven’t found a Recursion Bow and Giant Swords to enhance your Archers.

However, if you have found many oversized staffs, it makes sense to switch towards Elemental Mages or Sorcerers. Our tier list explains the composition of all items.

Lastly, you can also look around on the other boards. It is useful to know what other players are building to counter the combos or to know which champions are still abundant in the pool.

League of Legends

How to transition into the late game

How do I start the transition? If you have a strong combo in the early game, then you try to keep it on the field for as long as possible while already working on the late game champions in the background.

The switch should then be made when your late game combo is somewhat survivable. If your goal is to get six Sorcerers on the field but you only have four, it might be smarter to wait and let your previous champions continue fighting.

But once you have all six Sorcerers, they should all get on the field. Your bonus is extremely strong.

What do I do with the bank? If you hold on to the early game combo for too long, you may have a bank – and thus a space problem. It is advisable not to upgrade the 1- and 2-Gold units to level 3 and therefore not to clutter the bank with Garens, Vaynes, or other units.

Instead, focus on collecting your late game champions and upgrade them to level 2 if necessary. Here, however, you should not begin collecting for level 3 yet.

von Alexander Leitsch

Aren’t level 3 champions stronger? Level 3 units are strong, but especially 1- and 2-Gold champions decline just as strongly. Many 4- and 5-Gold champions are significantly stronger at level 1 or 2 due to their abilities.

Gnar, Cho’Gath, or Yasuo can decide games even without major synergies. A level 2 Draven usually deals significantly more damage than a level 3 Vayne or Tristana. The list can continue indefinitely.

Don’t cling too much to your units at the beginning; instead, focus on the late game from mid game onwards.

Teamfight Tactics News Download

Combos for the late game

Which combos are best for the late game? In the late game, various combos have proven to be extremely effective. From the setup, they are:

  • 6 Sorcerers and 1 Ninja
  • 3 Elemental Mages, 4 Ninjas, and Pyke
  • 6 Assassins and 4 Ninjas
  • 6 Ice Chosen and 4 Archers
  • 4 Wilds, 3 Shapeshifters, and Draven

We will introduce them to you in more detail in a separate post soon. There, we will go into the exact setup, the items, and the strengths and weaknesses of these combos.

Why the ranked mode in Apex Legends is worth it even for bad players

In Apex Legends it has not been clear what rewards there are at the end of Season 2 for participants of Ranked Modes. However, a data miner has leaked information that promises great loot. Also for beginners.

What are the rewards for the Ranked Mode? It was previously known that participants in Ranked Play would receive some form of reward at the end of Season 2 in Apex Legends. This includes the highly coveted trails that are supposed to be available at the end for at least the top two leagues.

https://twitter.com/That1MiningGuy/status/1150180056603512832

Now a data miner named That1MiningGuy has leaked information on Twitter that is said to clarify the rewards according to his data mining. According to the leak, these would be:

  • A badge for the divisions Bronze to Apex Predator
  • A skin for the holo-sight for the divisions Bronze to Apex Predator
  • A trail (Skytrail) for the divisions Bronze to Apex Predator

Of course, this information is not confirmed, and the rewards may still change. Unfortunately, the data miner has not found any images of the rewards. Additionally, we do not know if you must play through the respective division to the highest rank, or if it is sufficient to simply reach the respective division.

Apex Legends Ranked Selection 2

Fans are excited about Skytrails

Here’s how the leaks about the rewards are received: Especially the Skytrails, which have so far only been available in random colors in the game, are well received by fans under the tweet of the leaker. Especially since you also get them at lower levels:

  • “Finally, Skytrails!”
  • “Does everyone get a Skytrail? I thought only Diamond and Apex!”
  • “I want the skins for the holo-sight!”
Apex Legends Season 2 ranked system

So if you really get rewards even in the lowest Bronze division, then it is definitely worth playing Ranked Play. Because even as the very last noob, you will eventually stumble forward in the Bronze division, as you cannot drop lower there.

And you cannot fall from one division to the lower one in the first Ranked Season anyway. So it pays off to play as much Ranked as you can and secure unique rewards.

At least until you rank up to the higher divisions, where unfortunately some nasty cheaters are around.

FIFA 19: Kids really want Messi and raid their parents’ account

Four children managed to spend 611 euros on FIFA 19 in about three weeks. They purchased numerous packs because they desperately wanted Lionel Messi.

This is what happened: The biggest wish of four children in England was to have Lionel Messi in their Ultimate Team. But the superstar is quite expensive and hardly affordable with in-game currency.

The children’s solution: They are trying to get their favorite player from FIFA packs. However, the children, all under 10 years old, were probably not aware that the packs cost a lot of money.

The object of desire
The object of desire

So they happily opened packs and hoped for Lionel Messi. They must have opened quite a few sets and repeatedly topped up their FIFA account with new FIFA points for real money.

For a total amount of 611 euros, you can get quite a few packs in FIFA 19. However, the prices vary widely, with packs ranging from 1 euro to 25 euros.

This is the extent: The credit card bill clearly shows that the children were unstoppable. On June 3 alone, they spent 175.94 pounds, which is 195.41 euros.

How did the children manage this? The father had once gifted the children a set for 10 euros. He probably didn’t notice that his children had been observing the purchase process very closely. Afterwards, they were able to carry it out independently without any problems.

Additionally, the father admitted that he didn’t take all safety measures and did not protect the payment process with a pin.

On the platforms PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, precautions can be taken to block in-game spending for children. However, these safety measures must be activated manually.

But why didn’t the parents notice anything? The parents only noticed the many charges when their credit card was declined during a purchase because the account was empty. The problem was that the purchase confirmations were sent to an old email address of the father.

Accordingly, weeks went by before the parents could notice.

So it continued

This is what the parents say: The father was surprised by the actions of his children, “I never would have thought that the children would do something like that.” He also criticizes the Ultimate Team mode of FIFA 19: “You pay 60 euros for the game, which is a lot of money in itself, but the only way to get a great team is essentially gambling.”

In conclusion, the father confirms that the children’s goal was not achieved: “They spent 611 euros and never got their favorite player, Lionel Messi.”

The Nintendo Switch has been confiscated indefinitely since the incident, the father said.

Nintendo refunds the purchases: Nintendo has agreed to reverse the purchases and remove the FUT cards received from the club.

In any case, we hope that the children can play again soon, but with the activated safety measures in place.

Fortnite community is concerned about YouTuber after he sends strange signals

In the professional scene of Fortnite , a player’s behavior is currently being heavily discussed. People believe that player Bxrry is being abused by his stepfather and that he is being forced to delete evidence.

This is the situation: A YouTuber named 77 Bxrry is currently at the center of discussions in the Fortnite community. He posted a video 3 days ago showing how his streaming setup was destroyed. Allegedly, his gaming setup, which was worth several thousand dollars including the PC, was destroyed by his stepfather.

He also claims that he was hit by his stepfather.

In response, a fundraising campaign was started on Gofundme, which aims to benefit Bxrry with a goal of $1800 so that the player can get his setup back.

On Monday evening, Bxrry then released a video in which he thanked his viewers for their support and explained that he was doing well.

He wrote in the comments after the video was released that he was forced to record the video. He was also allegedly forced to delete the video that showed the destroyed PC setup. He then deleted his comment moments later on purpose – viewers took screenshots of it.

77 Bxrry help YouTube Fortnite

Next, he started a livestream on YouTube and told his viewers that they no longer needed to help him and that he was doing well.

Hidden cry for help in the livestream?

This seemed strange to the viewers: Many viewers were apparently surprised by the sudden turn that the player was doing well after all. Additionally, the comment that his stepfather was forcing him to make the video caused controversy.

During the livestream, viewers wrote that Bxrry should cough if his stepfather was forcing him off-camera to stream and that he needed help. According to Reddit, Bxrry then coughed several times. One cough can be seen in this video:

Situation is unclear

There are some players who doubt the situation and claim that it is all fake. In other places, alleged friends and clan members claim that it is all real and that his stepfather would be abusing him. It is hard to determine whether the situation is real or fake.

  • “Hey guys, member of 77 and friend of Barry here. His stepfather is now emotionally abusing him and taking control of everything he does. Starting with the deletion of his first video showing his broken setup and now this. The really unfortunate thing is that he has no other place to live and is only 16 years old, so he can’t just move out. We don’t know what to do.” wrote jm0ck on Reddit.
https://twitter.com/rlBezgeFNA/status/1150818547729358849

On Twitter, user TuskiTV writes: “I am Barry’s real-life friend. He needs help. A lot has gotten out of control. A LOT. I have information on this […],” Barry retweeted it.

People claim that the player is starting this drama to gain attention for his channel and that the story might be fake.

Given the current situation, it is unclear what is really behind the story. We will update the article as soon as new information is available.

Anthem starts countdown for Cataclysm, then cancels it – This is what lies behind it

The players may have celebrated too soon: In the Anthem subreddits, several players reported in the past hours that a countdown had appeared on the live servers. Many freelancers were excited and assumed that the pre-events of the Cataclysm would now begin. However, BioWare dashed that hope…

What was that countdown? In the subreddits for Anthem, several players recently posted screenshots of a timer. In the challenges within the game, there was talk of an “impending storm”, along with a countdown of seven days.

The players were supposed to contribute in these days to the efforts to stop this impending storm. To do this, three tasks had to be completed:

  • Defeat 60 crystallized enemies
  • Destroy 20 crystals
  • Complete 8 crystal world events
Anthem Event Countdown
This countdown was found by players in Anthem. Source: Reddit

What was the countdown supposed to announce? The players hoped that it would finally signal the long-awaited Cataclysm would begin. This was supposed to be released in May, but was postponed for the developers to address the issues with Anthem.

The event has already been under scrutiny for some time on test servers. The test servers are open to all PC players of Anthem who own the game or are subscribers of Origin Access Premier. Console players unfortunately cannot participate in the tests so far.

The players thought that with the countdown, the Cataclysm would finally begin on the live servers. This will be an eight-week event, of which the first two weeks are to be a kind of “introduction”.

The players only became suspicious when the countdown appeared, but nothing else happened in the game.

What does BioWare say? Shortly after the players discovered the countdown and shared it on Reddit, Community Lead Andrew Johnson spoke up on Twitter.

According to his tweet, a change went live by accident that was supposed to be released at a later time. This change was reverted, and they apologized to the players for the confusion.

Thus, the countdown refers to something that went live on the servers prematurely. A date for when the Cataclysm event will actually start was not mentioned.

Fortnite brings the 5th shotgun already and everyone: Seriously?

In Fortnite: Battle Royale a new shotgun is coming soon. It is an epic and legendary version of the well-known tactical shotgun. But which weapon will be removed?

What kind of shotgun is it about? Surprisingly, without any prior leaks, the announcement appeared in-game that a new shotgun will be coming with the upcoming update for Fortnite. However, it will not be a completely new gun, but an epic and legendary version of the well-known tactical shotgun.

The “Tac” has been in the game since the beginning and is usually available at most as a green version. In the meantime, there was also a less spectacular purple (epic) version.

The new epic and legendary versions are completely redesigned and have a stylish new look. However, due to a lack of leaks, nothing is known about the stats yet.

Soldiers LTM Fortnite

When is the new shotgun coming? The new shotgun is expected to be released with the next update, which is likely to come on Wednesday, July 17.

Will there soon be 5 shotguns in the game?

Are old weapons being removed? With the new version of the Tac, there will be an unheard-of number of shotguns in the game. There will then be a total of 5 different weapons/variants. Therefore, fans strongly assume that one of the existing shotguns will be removed from the game. But which one?

  • Pumpgun: The regular shotgun just came back and is a fan favorite. It is unlikely that it will be removed.
  • Regular tactical shotgun: This weapon could be removed in favor of the better epic/legendary version. However, this is contradicted by a clever conspiracy theory.
  • Drum shotgun: This weapon is hated because people either find it too weak or too strong. But since it just came in, it is unlikely to be removed again.
  • Combat shotgun: This weapon just came into the game with the start of Season 9. But it has a strange role as a weapon that fires quickly and has good range. Therefore, many fans think it might be removed again now.
fortnite-tfue-no-shotgun-titel

It is also possible that Epic will keep all weapons in the game and really increase the pool to 5 shotguns. However, this would anger many players and pro Tfue, who already find the loot pool completely chaotic and annoying.

What do fans say about the new weapon? On Reddit, fans are already discussing the new weapon. Curiously, many voices this time are not as negative as in previous announcements about new shotguns. As long as another shotgun is removed, fans seem to appreciate a legendary or epic Tac:

  • “I love the Tac so much, it deserves all of this!”
  • “I’m in! The regular Tac is good, the epic/legendary version should be great.”
  • “Finally another purple/golden shotgun!”
fortnite-neue-shotgun-titel

Just the design of the new weapon is well-received, leading many fans to forgive Epic for yet another shotgun:

  • “I’m not lying when I say that the design is pretty awesome.”
  • “It looks like the damn Halo shotgun!”
  • “The design looks crazy as hell!”
  • “It looks so damn cool!”

How the Crypto-Pokémon look that you will soon catch in Pokémon GO

The update 0.149.0 of Pokémon GO also brought the first Crypto Pokémon into the game. Data miner Chrales has already shown the new monsters.

What are Crypto Pokémon? This new type of Pokémon will soon come to the game. It is directly related to Team Rocket, which has also been found in the game data.

Team Rocket will probably battle with these Pokémon, and your task will be to catch and purify the monsters. Through purification, the Crypto Pokémon will return to normal.

This is the first look at Crypto Pokémon

Where do the images come from? The data miner Chrales hosted a live stream in which he showcased the first images of the Crypto Pokémon. They were added with the latest update but have not yet been activated for players.

How can you recognize the Crypto Pokémon? They are clearly visible. There is a purple mist around the Pokémon, and the monsters have red eyes.

Which Pokémon have been found as Crypto? The list of potential Crypto Pokémon is long. For each of the respective Pokémon, 3 variations were found:

  • the normal version
  • the Crypto version
  • the purified version

In total, over 100 of these Pokémon have been found. So not all monsters can be Crypto, but a large part can be. This also includes legendary Pokémon.

What should a purified Pokémon be able to do? From the last update, we know that these Pokémon should have better IV and cost less Stardust when leveling up.

In the images from Chrales, strange costs for leveling up can be seen. This is due to the fact that this is just the find from the data miner and not the original images from Niantic. Therefore, much will still change here.

What does this find tell us now? Crypto Pokémon are in the game! They have not yet been activated, but it seems that this can be easily adjusted.

Team Rocket
Team Rocket could come along with the Crypto Pokémon

Data has also been found regarding Team Rocket, and Niantic itself is also already giving hints. It may not be long before Team Rocket and the Crypto Pokémon are brought into the game.

Since the latest update, there is also a new rating system in the game:

Shamans bring the Murloc apocalypse in Hearthstone

In the next Hearthstone expansion, Murlocs will rain down. Shamans will receive a spell that will drive many players crazy.

The next expansion of Hearthstone is “Saviors of Uldum” and is set to be released next month. As usual, Blizzard is gradually revealing new cards and presenting them individually. In the meantime, some cards have come together that we want to present to you here. Among them are many (seemingly) weak cards for the Paladin, but also a few new Plagues.

Paladins will get the new beast minion Salhet’s Pride. This costs 3 mana and has weak stats of 3/1, but a solid deathrattle. The Paladin draws 2 minions from the deck with 1 health.

Also for the Paladin is the Sandwasp Queen. This beast minion costs only 2 mana and also has the stats of 3/1, but comes with a strong battlecry. The Paladin gets 2 Sandwasps with stats of 2/1 into their hand. The Sandwasps are also beasts that cost 1 mana.

The third card for the Paladin is the minion Unruly Fanatic. It costs only 1 mana and brings stats of 2/1 to the board. Additionally, it gains +1 attack every time the Paladin summons another minion. So it can rapidly gain strength, but it is also extremely fragile.

Priests are looking forward to the new minion Soul Companion. For 4 mana, it brings weak stats of 3/1 onto the field, but has an extremely strong battlecry. It resurrects a random friendly minion that has died in this game. Additionally, it grants that minion Resurgence. Resurgence is a new keyword that ensures a dead minion is revived at 1 health upon dying for the first time.

The Plague of Madness is a new spell for rogues that costs only 1 mana. The spell ensures that both heroes equip a poisonous dagger with stats of 2/2. The card can be useful to destroy a different weapon in the opponent’s hand or when you have nothing to fear from poisonous weapons yourself.

Shamans will once again flood the game with Murlocs, as they will receive the spell Murloc Plague. For 3 mana, this card ensures that all minions on the battlefield are transformed into random Murlocs. Since Murlocs usually have low stats, the card can be used offensively as well as defensively to clean up the battlefield with another spell afterwards.

Hearthstone Evil Guys title

What do you think of these new cards? Do you like them? Or is the upcoming expansion rather boring so far?

We have introduced more cards in these articles:

Kickstarter cancels the “GTA-MMORPG” Raw – developers can no longer understand the world

During the Kickstarter campaign of the MMORPG RAW, doubts arose about whether it was a real game and not a scam. Now Kickstarter has prematurely ended the crowdfunding campaign. The development team feels unfairly treated.

What is RAW? At the end of June, the Kickstarter campaign for the MMORPG RAW, which was supposed to play like an online GTA, started.

  • You were supposed to explore an area of 400 km²
  • Together with other players, you could build and manage a city
  • You would have had to earn your living in various ways, such as a gas station owner, car dealer, city planner, food vendor, police officer, etc. You want to earn a living and make something of yourself
  • Up to 200 players should be able to interact on each server
https://youtu.be/vSo8Oz_WPQE

Was RAW just a scam?

Why did doubts arise? The small development team wanted to raise 70,000 euros through the crowdfunding campaign. This alone raised doubts about whether such an ambitious project could be realized with such a small amount.

Moreover, there was no imprint on the website, the studio was not registered as an official company, and images and assets from Turbosquid were used in the pictures and video, which are explicitly not allowed for “virtual worlds”.

When all this became public, the developers showed anger. In general, their responses to questions from the community appeared quite brusque and unfriendly.

What has happened now? Yesterday, on July 16, the Kickstarter campaign was suddenly ended prematurely. And that was only about 24 hours before it would officially have come to an end. Up until that point, 171,700 euros had been raised from supporters. The crowdfunding would have been very successful.

Why was the campaign ended? Kickstarter initially did not provide a specific reason but only examples of why this could happen. This occurs, for example, when important company information is missing or false claims have been made.

However, Kickstarter later provided some details on the reasons. Killerwhale Games explained that the 70,000 euros were not enough to develop the game and that additional funds needed to be raised. This, however, apparently violates Kickstarter’s rules, which is why the campaign was ended prematurely.

Developers are disappointed

How are the developers reacting? Killerwhale Games is disappointed and has released a statement via Discord. According to this, the team was not informed by Kickstarter that the campaign had been ended. They also did not attempt to contact the developers beforehand to clarify the situation.

Killerwhale Games had no idea at the time the statement was made why the campaign was ended. The team suspects that many players complained to Kickstarter because they felt that RAW was a scam. However, according to the developers, this is not the case.

And they want to prove this. A gameplay video of the MMORPG is set to be released in a few days.

How are the players reacting? The community is somewhat divided regarding the situation. Some, such as on Reddit, believe that it was the only right decision by Kickstarter, as the entire project looked like a scam. Others were looking forward to the game and find it unfair that a crowdfunding campaign can be stopped simply due to speculation.

What will happen to RAW now? Killerwhale Games does not want to give up. They might switch to the Indiegogo platform to start a new crowdfunding campaign. RAW will definitely continue to be developed.

Teamfight Tactics: This item combination makes champions nearly unbeatable

On the test server of Teamfight Tactics, various items have been enhanced in preparation for patch 9.14. This has led to a combination of items that makes some champions nearly invincible.

What changes were made to the items? In the current version on the PBE, there are buffs for various items. Among them are the Hextech Gunblade and Warmog’s Armor, which play a significant role in the new item combination.

The Hextech Gunblade now heals for 33% instead of 25% of the damage dealt. Warmog’s Armor heals the champion for 6% instead of 3% of their maximum health.

The combination of these two items with a Thornmail ensures that some champions become nearly invincible, as the streamer Hafu experienced herself.

Hafu loses an 8v1 duel

What happened to Hafu? In a Teamfight Tactics match on the PBE, Hafu faced off against her opponent with just one health point left. It was all or nothing.

Her team quickly managed to eliminate most of the opposing champions. Only a level 3 Shyvanna remained, who had a Hextech Gunblade, Warmog’s Armor, and Thornmail as her items.

Even though Hafu still had eight living champions, she could do nothing against Shyvanna. The champion regenerated health too quickly, and the assassins eliminated themselves through the Thornmail.

Hafu’s elemental mages were also useless, as Shyvanna counters magic damage with the dragon buff. The champion also benefited from the shapeshifter bonus.

Hafu lost the duel and finished the round in third place.

Are the items too strong? Even though Shyvanna was immune to magic damage due to the dragon buff, the adjustments to the items play a significant role in why the champion survived so long.

And not only does Shyvanna benefit from the items; other tanky champions also survive significantly longer and can deal more damage.

lol-shyvana

Many revisions and a new champion

Which items were adjusted? Besides the Hextech Gunblade and Warmog’s Armor, several other items have been changed on the PBE:

  • Guardian Angel now upgrades champions by one level, even at level 4
  • Red Buff and Morellonomicon now deal 13% of maximum health as damage over 5 seconds
  • Runaans Hurricane now summons spirits that mirror the champion’s attacks and deal 25% of the damage
  • Zeke’s Herald now increases attack speed by 15%
  • Guinsoo’s Rageblade now increases attack speed by 4% per stack
  • Zeke’s Herald and Amulet of the Iron Solari now affect all champions in the same row, instead of all around them.

With the upcoming patch, we will adjust our currently valid item tier list accordingly.

Riot Games also wants to remove randomness from items and is now planning guaranteed drops of items.

Additionally, there have been minor adjustments to the demons and to the champion Elise, who now costs only 1 gold.

But Elise is not always kind to you, as the streamer Scarra himself experienced:

Destiny 2: How AFK farming helps many to Bad Juju – What do you think about it?

In Destiny 2 many Guardians are currently shortening their path to the new Exotic weapon Bad Juju with AFK farming of materials. However, this seemingly harmless trick also annoys some players. If done half-heartedly, it can ruin the gaming experience for others.

This is the farming method in question: Many Guardians who want to grab the new exotic Pulse Rifle Bad Juju and their Masterwork Catalyst will probably have to spend a lot of planetary materials.

But not everyone has enough of it or can quickly get some from Spider. Therefore, some Guardians are now resorting to an old farming method that has recently gained popularity again due to the Bad Juju quest.

They go into the forges of the Black Armory DLC and receive certain materials even for failed runs – and all completely AFK, that is, without actually playing the game. They either redeem them directly in the Tribute Hall for the necessary tributes or trade them with other vendors to ultimately get the remaining materials from the vendor Spider.

This method allows for continuous farming; you won’t be kicked for inactivity, you can essentially let your PC or console run overnight, and the next day you can enjoy a lot of additional resources.

What is the problem with this method? The trick is quite harmless in itself. If executed correctly, AFK farmers remain among themselves. By lowering the power level below a certain threshold, they are matched with like-minded players and not with players who are seriously attempting to master the Forge.

Thus, no one who simply wants to play the Forge should be restricted or disturbed. In theory. Because not every farmer is that considerate and adjusts their power level accordingly – either out of ignorance or sheer laziness. As a result, firstly, the farm trick does not work and farmers get kicked for inactivity as early as the first round. Secondly, they ruin the run for the rest of the 3-player team.

More on the topic
Destiny 2: This trick gives you 8% discount daily for the Tribute Hall
von Sven Galitzki

Many players are currently complaining about this: It is already anything but easy to find enough players for the forges. Now, due to the popularity of the farm trick and the hunt for the new Weapon Exotic of Season 7 , many more Guardians are joining who are AFK, meaning not participating in the match. This happens more frequently, is annoying, and often very frustrating for many players – especially when this activity still plays a role outside of farming.

Some of them therefore demand: If you’re already AFK farming, at least be considerate and do it among yourselves. Lower your power level below 500 so that you are not mixed with regular players.

D2_Black_Armory_Forge1_07

The complaints are also not new. When the forges were brand new in Season 5, a very similar method was used to farm lore. Thousands of players complained about this and demanded that Bungie do something about the AFKers. Now this farm trick is back in the spotlight because of Bad Juju, and the complaints are flaring up again.

It remains to be seen whether Bungie will do something against this farming method. The popular farming trick in the Menagerie was quickly shut down by the studio. Whether it will happen here as well remains to be seen.

What do you think of this method? Should Bungie shut it down like in the Menagerie? Or should the trick remain in the game? Have you also encountered the AFK problem in the Forge?
