The last Weekly Reset in Destiny 2 on July 9 brought not only some activities for players with the Triumphs of 2019 and the Tribute Hall. Also, the Pulse Rifle Bad Juju from Destiny 1 made its return.
Players found an exploit just a few days after the weapon was in the game, allowing them to acquire the Pulse Rifle without much hassle.
What is this exploit? Only a few days after the Tribute Hall and the Pulse Rifle Bad Juju arrived in Destiny 2, players discovered a new exploit. This allows them to obtain the weapon more easily than Bungie intended.
With the exploit, players only need to spend some time instead of having to complete bounties and spend materials, Glimmer, and Enhancement Prisms on the normal way.
Here on MeinMMO, we will not provide you with a guide for this exploit. However, this “shortcut” is already well known in the community and is spreading rapidly at the moment.
With bounties, players can lower the prices for the Tributes
What does Bungie say about the exploit? The exploit is widely discussed in the community and is spreading quickly. Players who are not far along in the Tribute Hall are happy that they can shorten the grind with this method.
Other players, especially those who have already spent a lot of materials, find the exploit unfair. They wish that Bungie would take away the exotic gesture and the weapon from the Guardians who used this method.
Bungie has not yet commented on the exploit. However, a minor maintenance is scheduled for tonight at 7 PM German time in the background of Destiny 2. No downtime is expected.
Players expect that some issues will be fixed that came with the last patch. Others hope that the developers will also put an end to the exploit.
In every FIFA installment, there are talents that explode in Career Mode. But how strong were the FIFA-19-talents in real football? We took a closer look at the strikers.
In Career Mode, you have the opportunity to develop young players. Some of these talents start with very low ratings but can become some of the best players in the entire game within a few years. The players with the greatest potential in FIFA 19 can be found here:
For clubs that start with a small season budget, it is worth investing in young players. But how good were these talents in real life? This first part focuses on some of the best striker talents.
The best striker talents in real life – Mbappé outshines everyone
These striker talents had a strong season: Many players in FIFA 19 showcased high potential as well as already having a high base rating. The best talent on this list was the young Frenchman Kylian Mbappé.
Already during the TOTY event, all FUT players hoped to draw Mbappé
The PSG forward has a base rating of 87 – and he is already among the top players of the game. His high potential of 95 makes him an absolute world-class player over several seasons. And in real life, Mbappé has once again proven why he is held in such high regard.
33 goals and nine assists in just 29 league games, plus nine goal contributions in eight Champions League matches: Mbappé’s numbers speak for themselves. The forward is definitely among the best that world football currently has to offer.
Mbappé also celebrated goals frequently in real football
João Félix: The 19-year-old Portuguese has emerged as one of the most sought-after talents in world football. Technically strong and quick to react: Especially since January 2019, João Félix has dominated the game at Benfica Lisbon, scoring goals consistently.
This did not go unnoticed: For the upcoming season, the forward is transferring for a nine-figure sum to Atlético Madrid. In Career Mode, João Félix has a potential of 87, and in Ultimate Team, he has a TOTS card that is even stronger:
David Neres: At Ajax Amsterdam, many talents emerged this season – especially due to their remarkable successes in the Champions League. David Neres is one of them. The offensive player has a base rating of 79 in FIFA 19, which can be increased to 87.
In the past season, Neres was one of the regulars at Ajax, scoring eight goals and providing eleven assists. The Brazilian has also attracted the interest of several top clubs. In Ultimate Team, his strong season was rewarded with a TOTS card:
Federico Chiesa: The Italian is a homegrown talent of AC Florence, where he was almost consistently in the starting eleven last season. Six goals and seven assists are a solid return in the league, plus an additional eight goal contributions in four cup matches.
Chiesa also impressed at the U21 European Championship. For the upcoming season, a transfer is on the horizon, with Bayern Munich reportedly showing interest. In FIFA 19, Chiesa has a potential of 86. And of course, the 21-year-old also received a TOTS card in Ultimate Team:
Lautaro Martinez: The Argentine Lautaro Martinez also plays in Italy. In FIFA, he has a potential of 86 – and he demonstrated that he could reach it with strong performances, especially at the Copa America. Although it wasn’t enough to win the title, Martinez showed what he is capable of with an overall strong season.
These talents still have room to grow
While some talents delivered top performances this season, others did not have it quite as easy.
Vinicius Junior: The Brazilian arrived at Real Madrid with a lot of hype, but at first, he could not fully establish himself. He has shown his immense potential, which allows him to rise from 77 to 92 in Career Mode, especially since the turn of the year.
However, an injury sidelined him – he only managed to play again towards the end of the season. It will be interesting to see how Vinicius Junior will fare at Real Madrid in the upcoming season. Will he come close to the potential of his highly regarded Future-Stars card?
Similarly, league rival Malcom (potential: 90) is hoping for a better year: The Brazilian was only on the pitch 15 times in the league, and most of those were substitute appearances. The 22-year-old player from FC Barcelona managed just one goal – so there’s still room for improvement. It’s no wonder that his OTW card did not receive many upgrades:
Gabriel Jesus: Gabriel Jesus has been one of the most popular players in Career Mode for a while and has also impressively showcased his talent in real football. The forward can be improved to a rating of 92. However, last season did not go optimally – even though he won many titles with Manchester City.
Jesus was often only substituted in the league. Nevertheless, he scored seven times and assisted three goals, also winning the Copa America with Brazil. However, it was an up-and-down situation: After scoring the opening goal in the final, he received a red card.
The forward Patrick Cutrone (potential: 89) did not have a much better season at AC Milan. The club’s homegrown player could not build on his strong debut season, partly due to increased competition in Milan.
He only managed three league goals, with just 12 starts compared to 22 substitute appearances. So, Cutrone has not yet come close to his Future-Stars card this year.
Jann-Fiete Arp: The talented forward from Hamburger SV (potential: 88) did not have a particularly successful season. With HSV, Arp missed the chance to return to the Bundesliga and only made 17 appearances. Output: One goal, one assist.
In the upcoming season, Arp will play for FC Bayern Munich. However, it is expected that the forward will primarily gain match practice in the third league with the second team.
Willem Geubbels: No other forward in FIFA 20 can make such a significant leap in performance. Geubbels has a base rating of 64 and can rise to 86. Whether this is justified remains to be seen based on last season as the now 17-year-old missed almost the entire season due to multiple injuries. Will he return to being one of the top talents next season?

In Fortnite you can now find Fortbyte #28. You can find it at a desert junkyard when you solve the shape puzzle there.
What is the challenge? The riddle this time is a bit tricky. It is: “Accessible by solving the shape puzzle outside a desert junkyard.”
We will show you on the Season 9 map where you will find the byte:
In the southeast of the map, you will find the desert junkyard.
Fortbyte #28 through shape puzzle outside a desert junkyard
Here you find the fortbyte: For the byte, you need to travel all the way to the southeast of the map and visit the junkyard below Paradise Palms. There you will find the puzzle at the eastern end of the site.
For the puzzle, you need to remember a sequence of colors that you will then strike with the pickaxe. We recommend that you take out your phone camera and record the given pattern. This way, you can remember it better and solve it faster.
This is the shape puzzle.
What you need to pay attention to: You will be stuck at the puzzle for some time and make it easier for campers to get you as a target. So keep an eye on your surroundings and don’t get caught while you solve the puzzle.
The video will help you: To see how the puzzle works exactly, we will embed a video here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cid7nRXZNlQ
What do I need the fortbytes for? These electronic puzzle pieces have been available since Season 9 in Fortnite. A new byte comes every day.
If you collect 90 bytes, you can unlock the Utopia skin. If you collect even more bytes, there are additional levels for the skin.
For Week 10 of Season 9 in Fortnite, you need to gather wood, stone, and metal from ships, the Fork Knife, the umbrella, and the robot factory. We will show you the locations.
What is the challenge? The challenge from Week 10 of Season 9 is divided into 3 stages that you can complete one after the other. Here they are:
Collect wood from a pirate ship or Viking ship
Collect stone from a Fork Knife or umbrella
Collect metal from a robot factory
For all tasks, you need to visit different locations. We will show you all these places and how to complete the challenge.
Collect wood from a pirate ship or Viking ship – Here’s how
Where can I find the locations? The pirate ship is located in the bay of Lazy Lagoon. It is hard to miss.
The Viking ship is far up on a mountain southeast of Snobby Shores. There is also the Viking village around it.
What do I need to do for the task? Just hit it with the pickaxe and gather wood. When you have 100 wood, this stage is considered completed.
This is the pirate ship
Collect stone from a Fork Knife or umbrella
Where can I find the locations? The Fork Knife is located northwest of Fatal Fields. It consists of two huge holes that look like a knife and fork. There is plenty of stone to gather there.
The umbrella is also such a hole that looks like an umbrella. It is located southeast of The Block and also has a lot of stone to gather.
What do I need to do for the task? You need to gather a total of 100 stone. It doesn’t matter where you gather the stone.
This is the Fork Knife at Fatal Fields
Collect metal from a robot factory
Where can I find the location? You will find the robot factory in Pressure Plants. A huge robot is currently being built there, which is supposed to fight against the monster that is causing trouble.
You can find enough metal in Pressure Plant. You can almost break everything to get metal.
What do I need to do for the task? The task will be completed when you have gathered 100 metal here.
This is the robot factory
Things to watch out for: Gathering materials takes time. During this time, campers can easily eliminate you. So be careful to land safely.
This video helps: We will embed a video here that shows all the locations. This way you cannot miss them:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAlifMU6brk
What else is there in Week 10? Week 10 also has another tricky task. You need to visit signs in 3 different locations.
All other tasks are relatively easier. You can find them in our hub:
A female player of Overwatch uploaded a video clip on Twitter. It shows what she has to listen to in terms of remarks from male teammates during a competitive match.
This is the tweet: The player Cupcake uploaded a video on Twitter, to which she says: “Just in case someone forgot what it’s like for women to play Overwatch.”
In the video, the men make some remarks:
“I’m sorry to be the one to say this, but can you please log on to Mercy?” – A reference to the stereotype that women should play the healer in Overwatch.
“Shut up and make us sandwiches” – comes next as a remark when the player asks if the “guys” treat all women playing ranked like that – “Make me a sandwich” is a well-known phrase in pop culture. It is used to refer women back to the kitchen.

Men feel the same vs. Yes, this is truly a problem
This is how players react: There are two major trends:
Some say that men in Overwatch don’t have it any better. Even as a man, you’ll get flamed in Overwatch – the tone is just rough in online gaming. Twitch streamers like xQc exemplify this. Some even say the player probably deserved the ridicule and didn’t play well enough. She needs to toughen up.
Others, however, show solidarity with the player. They say that this is also the reason why they feel uncomfortable in Overwatch or have stopped speaking in voice chat.
The tweet has now garnered over 200,000 views and numerous comments and retweets.
So, it is a topic that still moves the Overwatch community – even though it has been talked about so many times before.
Aggressive behavior aimed at hitting others at their perceived weak point and hurting them, as is common in typical online games, does not fit this approach.
Week 10 of Season 9 in Fortnite is here and you need to visit signs with public announcements in Neo Tilted, Pressure Plant, or Mega Mall. We will show you where to find the signs.
What is the task? The exact challenge from Week 10 is “Visit various signs with public announcements in Neo Tilted, Pressure Plant, or Mega Mall.” You need to visit a total of 5 signs to complete the task.
The signs are scattered all over the 3 locations, which came in Season 9. We will show you the locations and tell you how to complete the challenge as quickly as possible.
These are the types of signs
Signs with Public Announcements – Locations
What do you have to do for the task? You don’t need to do anything with the signs, just visit them. It is also enough if you visit the signs in just one location. You don’t have to visit all locations.
Where are the signs in Neo Tilted? There are a total of 6 such signs in Neo Tilted. Some of them are mounted on top of tall buildings. You may need to build up to complete the task.
You will find the signs everywhere in Neo Tilted
Where are the signs in Pressure Plant? There are 7 signs in Pressure Plant, which are also very close together. However, for some signs, you will also need to build to reach them.
These are the locations in Pressure Plant
Where are the signs in Mega Mall? The 7 signs in Mega Mall are also very close together. Look especially on the outside of the mall, but there are also 3 signs mounted inside.
You can find these signs at these 7 locations in Mega Mall.
How do I complete the task the fastest? We recommend the “Team Rumble” mode, as you will deal with the fewest players there.
Pressure Plant is the best suited for the challenge because it is usually the calmest, and the signs are very close together. You can quickly visit the signs here in just a few minutes.
Neo Tilted can be the hardest. There is always a lot of action, and you could get eliminated quickly. Additionally, there will certainly be some campers lurking for you.
Is there a video for this? We are embedding a video here that relates to the task. It shows some locations again so you can complete the task quickly:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LITD4jQM-Jo
What else does Week 10 offer? In Week 10 you also need to gather materials at specific locations. Additionally, there are still numerous smaller challenges.
You can find a detailed overview of this in our big hub for Week 10:
In Fortnite: Battle Royale, the challenges for the final week 10 of Season 9 have appeared. It’s about shields and materials from certain locations.
Free
and paid: For all 7 challenges of the last week in Season 9, you still need
the Battle Pass of Season 9 for 950 V-Bucks (9.50 Euros). Without

Here’s how to complete the task: The new airstrike item is hated by pros, but very effective. Unfortunately, it is very rare. So if you find one, use it as quickly as possible. Especially seek out supply drops in the later match stages.
Deal 500 damage to opponents with shotguns
Here’s how to complete the task: There are currently plenty of shotguns, including the Combat Shotgun and the controversial Drum Shotgun. So you should quickly accumulate 500 damage.
Search 7 ammo boxes in one match
Here’s how to complete the task: This task can be tricky, as you need to find all the boxes in the same match. So ideally, start in a very remote location where you have little competition to worry about.
Visit 5 different signs with public announcements in Neo Tilted, Pressure Plant, or Mega Mall (only Battle Pass)
Collect materials at specific locations (Only Battle Pass)
Here’s how to complete the task: Here, you need to gather a specific amount of a certain material at selected locations. The phases are:
Phase 1: Collect 100 wood from a pirate ship or a Viking ship
Phase 2: Collect 100 stone from a Fork-Knife or an umbrella
Phase 3: Collect 100 metal in the robot factory
How to ideally solve this, you can find out here in a guide to materials.
Eliminate 3 opponents in Pleasant Park or Paradise Palms (only Battle Pass)
Here’s how to complete the task: The usual kill quest. Shouldn’t be a problem.
Inflict 200 damage to opponents with the pickaxe (only Battle Pass)
Here’s how to complete the task: It’s best to do this task in a mode with respawn. Or take the opportunity and land in well-frequented areas where you will encounter opponents immediately upon landing.
Alternatively, you can also eliminate downed opponents with the pickaxe. This also counts for the challenge
A new trailer for the action RPG Monster Hunter World: Iceborne is here. In it, you can see numerous new details about the expansion. This includes a cozy new base camp, the “new” monsters Glavenus and Brachydios, as well as new sub-species for Odogaron and Anjanath.
What can be seen in the trailer? The latest trailer for Monster Hunter World: Iceborne is called the “Glavenus Trailer” and features this monster as the main topic. Additionally, several sub-species of known monsters and a detailed look at the new base camp, which couldn’t be cozier, are included.

Glavenus, Brachydios, new sub-species and fun in the sauna
What is the Glavenus? Fans might know this “new” monster from previous series entries. It is a gigantic flying wyvern with a characteristic sword-like tail. With that, it sweeps away entire hunting teams. But that’s not all; the beast can also spew fiery projectiles and is consequently dangerous from a distance.
The tail attack is Glavenus’s special attack.
What is the Brachydios? This monster is also a flying wyvern that fans recognize from earlier titles in the series. In Monster Hunter World, it has not been seen so far. Not even in the trailer. However, fans have already identified the monster in the final scene.
The slime is the hint for the Brachydios.
In it, a monster covered in slime stumbles into view. The slime starts changing color and finally explodes, killing the poor monster. Since this explosive slime attack is a trademark of Brachydios, it seems clear that this monster will likely also make an appearance in Iceborne.
What are the two monster sub-species? Fans of existing creatures can look forward to these two variants of existing beasts:
Fulgur-Anjanath: The electrifyingly brutal wyvern Fulgur-Anjanath breathes lightning instead of fire.
Vulkan-Odogaron: The Vulkan-Odogaron is more alert than ever. It also comes with an expanded range of attacks as well as dragon elements.
Fulgur-Anjanath
Vulkan-Odogaron
What does the new camp look like? To recover from the fight against these beasts, there is the new base camp Seliana. This is extensively shown in the trailer. Particularly cool is the large hot spring, where even your Palico cats frolic and relax in the water.
Community looks forward to Iceborne
This is how the trailer’s content is received by fans: Fans of Monster Hunter World on Reddit are reacting positively to the new trailer. Especially the well-known fan favorite Glavenus and the new Brachydios are receiving high praise. Fans specifically requested these monsters and are especially celebrating the “Brachy”:
“That was totally crazy! Glavenus looks wonderful, we have sub-species of Anjanath and Odogaron, and a return of Brachydios. And the new hub looks so amazing, and so does the new area. The game gets better and better with each trailer!”
“Brachy-f*cking-Dios! Oh my god, this DLC is my dream come true!”
“They are really bringing everything we want and need, and it’s the best thing ever!”
It seems that fans can barely wait for the new DLC Iceborne. Unfortunately, it will be released for PS4 on September 6, 2019, and for PC only in the depths of winter.
In Starcraft 2, European players will have to compete against the AlphaStar AI in the rankings. The AI previously caused a stir when it made some professionals look outdated.
This is about: AlphaStar is an artificial intelligence (AI) developed by the company DeepMind. For a test, the AlphaStar AI will soon participate in a small number of Starcraft 2 ranked matches in Europe.
The test should be as anonymous as possible. Players will have no idea if they are playing a match against the AlphaStar AI. For this reason, there will also be no further details about the start of the action.
The test results will be presented at a later date in a scientific paper along with replays.
Is this fair?
Competitive players may indeed question the fairness of the test. The AI was already deployed earlier this year and was highly successful against professionals. However, likely under not entirely fair conditions. The AlphaStar AI clicked in sprints superhumanly quickly and accurately.
Some adjustments have been made for the upcoming test phase:
The AI will be used exclusively in 1vs1 battles
It will compete against all three factions and play as one of those factions
AlphaStar will only perceive what is visually visible on the map
The Match Making Ratio (MMR) will be calculated normally in games against the AlphaStar AI. It remains to be seen how the players will ultimately react to this.
This is the AlphaStar AI: The AI is specifically developed by Google’s company DeepMind for Starcraft 2. Starcraft 2 was chosen as a test subject due to its complexity.
The behavior of the AlphaStar AI is generated by a deep neural network. Game data, such as the number of game field units and their rights, are read and lead to a reaction from the AI. The learning process of AlphaStar is based on the imitation of real player actions.
Ubisoft recently announced a ban wave for Rainbow Six Siege. The ban hammer has now struck and could be seen live on the official R6 stream. The ban wave was intended to quickly take action against some players who exploited a particularly nasty exploit: By using particularly long strings in the chat, they caused their opponents to lag.
What was this ban wave about? Recently, Ubisoft announced a ban wave for its successful shooter Rainbow Six Siege. This was supposed to affect players on July 10.
And it indeed had an effect, as seen on the official Twitch channel of the game. Currently, the matches of the Pro League are being broadcast there. The ESL tweeted a clip of a scene where the ban announcements filled the entire kill feed.

Why were the players banned? The penalties were particularly aimed at players who believed they had to exploit a particularly nasty exploit. They flooded the in-game chat with particularly long strings of characters, which led to lag or even disconnects for the opponents. Especially in tight situations, the exploiters were able to gain an advantage.
Ubisoft stated that players who used this method would be punished according to the severity of their actions. The more often they used the exploit, the harsher their punishment would be.
Some YouTubers or streamers were concerned that they too would be punished for having tried or shown this exploit for educational purposes. As Community Developer Craig Robinson stated on Twitter, any player who had used the exploit less than ten times would be safe from the ban.
What does the community say? Players are grateful that Ubisoft fixed this exploit with a patch this week and that the ban hammer did not take long to follow. Ubisoft is even enticing its players with rewards to find bugs. Still, according to some R6 players, this is not enough.
They believe Ubisoft has addressed the wrong issue. Now the exploiters may be gone, but cheaters and hackers are still causing a lot of damage in the game.
Just like this player, who used a hack and mocked it by saying, “It’s my gaming chair’s fault”:
Smart fans have already spotted new exotic weapons and armor pieces in the trailer and images for Season 7 of Destiny 2. All confirmed Exotics are now in the game. But are there more to come?
What do we actually know about new Exotics in Season 7? On June 4, the seventh season of Destiny 2 kicked off – the Season of Opulence. In addition to new content, there are also one or two new Exotics. We’ll look at which new exotic items are already known and which Exotics could still come in Season 7.
These weapon Exotics of Season 7 are already known
Which weapons are confirmed? Four new guns for Season 7 are now confirmed. However, only two exotic weapons are truly new. The other two guns are well-known and popular returners from Destiny 1.
Clearly visible: The Truth and (probably) the Rose
The returner: Rocket Launcher “Truth”
So you might know the Truth: This rocket launcher should be familiar to many Destiny veterans. Because the Truth originally comes from Destiny 1. There, it was particularly known for the aggressive tracking of its rockets.
The Truth in action
This is what the Truth can do in Destiny 2: With the perk “Prototype Truth Seeker”, the rockets of the Truth gain a tracking function. Additionally, this rocket launcher targets enemies when the aiming device is used.
Specifically, this means: The aggressive tracking from the predecessor has been retained. Once you’ve aimed at the enemy, you can almost aim in another direction, and the rocket will still hit. Many Guardians feel the power of this rocket launcher, especially in PvP and during invasions in Gambit.
So you might already know Bad Juju: Just like the Truth, Bad Juju is also a returner from Destiny 1. There, this weapon was particularly popular because it could additionally charge the Guardians’ Super. But many players also appreciated the general performance of the pulse rifle.
This is what Bad Juju can do in Destiny 2: This exotic pulse rifle has a rate of fire of 450, and it fires fully automatic. The intrinsic perk Curse Rain causes kills to reload the magazine of Bad Juju, temporarily increase the weapon’s damage, and grant Super energy – depending on the strength of the Curse Rain (up to 5x stackable).
As a masterwork, the duration of Curse Rain is extended for Bad Juju. This makes it easier to achieve a 5-stack of the perk.
How do you get this weapon? Bad Juju came into the game with its own quest and can be earned through the Tribute Hall, a new feature of Season 7. You can find more about it here: Bad Juju is back – This is how you get this exotic weapon
New exotic Hand Cannon Lumina
What makes the Lumina special? The Lumina is a genuine novelty in the world of Destiny. It is the first weapon that can not only kill but also heal and buff allies.
Kills with the Lumina leave behind Spheres. When you pick up a Sphere, the next hip fire shot is converted into a “Noble Round”, and the magazine is partially replenished. You can stack up to 5 Noble Rounds.
The Lumina
These Noble Rounds track allied targets. If you hit a Guardian with them, it heals the ally and increases both their and your weapon damage for 10 seconds – about +20% in PvP and +35% in PvE.
What makes the Tarrabah special? The Tarrabah deals Solar damage and is carried in the energy slot. The exotic perk of the weapon is called “Greedy Beast”.
This allows the weapon to store the momentum of incoming or outgoing damage. You recognize this by a glowing stripe on the side of the weapon. This will be “filled up” and become increasingly larger.
When the maximum momentum is reached, you will be notified on the screen. You can then unleash the Beast by holding the reload button. Specifically, this means:
the weapon deals more damage
the rate of fire is increased
you reload this weapon faster
Furthermore, the Tarrabah has the perk “Bottomless Clip”. This causes the duration of Greedy Beast to be extended when you deal continuous damage with the weapon.
In this video by Ehroar, you can get a good impression of the weapon:

How do you get this weapon? The weapon is only available through the new raid “Crown of Sorrow”. It can drop randomly from the end boss for you.
These weapon Exotics could still come in Season 7
Where do these informations come from? Alongside the confirmed weapon Exotics, two more weapons could find their way into the game during Season 7.
All this comes from a leak by AnonTheNine.
This individual leaked extensive details about Forsaken and the contents of the Annual Pass ahead of time and has so far been correct with all their information. However, it remains to be seen whether this will also be the case for these two Exotics. There is still no official statement on this.
According to their statements, the following Destiny 1 Exotics could also return in Season 7:
The Hawkmoon in Destiny 1
Hand Cannon “Hawkmoon”
What is the Hawkmoon? The Hawkmoon was an exotic Hand Cannon for the kinetic slot that was extremely strong in the first year of Destiny and dominated the Crucible.
What can the Hawkmoon do? It had good stats, and its perks Roulette and Double-Dip were very powerful. A random round in the magazine dealt significantly more damage, and two other random projectiles also dealt increased damage. This allowed you to take out other Guardians with two shots or sometimes just one shot in PvP.
Currently, Guardians are not sure if “the bird we all love” might refer to the legendary hand cannon “Falkner”. This weapon came into play with Season 7 and is based on the model of the popular Eyasluna from Destiny 1, which in turn is based on the model of the Hawkmoon.
The Dark Drinker from Destiny 1 – soon to be in the second part?
Sword “Dark Drinker”
What is the Dark Drinker? This is an exotic Void sword that was very popular in Destiny 1.
What can the Dark Drinker do? The perk Giant Vortex allowed the Dark Drinker to spin continuously as a heavy attack. The wielder would rotate like a blade spiral, dealing damage in all directions. This sword was an excellent choice, especially against some bosses like Aksis from the “Wrath of the Machines” raid and against majors or groups of enemies.
How were these Exotics discovered? Aside from the new weapons, attentive fans discovered three exotic armor pieces in the promotional material for the Season of Opulence that have already all been introduced during Season 7. All three armor Exotics are actually returners from Destiny 1.
Some of the new Exotics from Season 7 can be seen here already
How do you get these new Exotics? You will receive them like all regular Exotics as random drops from all sources that can drop exotic engrams.
A Hunter with Khepri’s Sting
Hunter Gloves “Khepri’s Sting”
What can these gloves do in Destiny 2? In Destiny 2, these gloves now work differently. If you hit an enemy with full melee energy, the smoke bomb will trigger immediately. You also gain True Sight when you are in your own smoke bomb effect. The “Sting” is thus specifically tailored for the Nightstalker Hunter.
For comparison – What could the gloves do in Destiny 1? When crouching, the gloves would make their wearer invisible for a short time. Moreover, during invisibility, one would deal 4 times damage when attacking an enemy from behind with a melee attack. Additionally, melee attacks had a lingering damage effect.
Warlock with the helmet Astrocyte Verse
Warlock Helmet “Astrocyte Verse”
What can this helmet do in Destiny 2? With this helmet, you teleport with the Void Warlock further and more often. At the end of the blink teleport, your weapon is also quickly ready, and the radar remains active.
For comparison – What could the helmet do in Destiny 1? This exotic helmet granted a temporary increase in recovery during short teleports, also known as blink. This allowed Void Warlocks to regenerate this ability faster and use it more often.
The Peregrine Greaves in Destiny 2
Titan Leg Armor “Peregrine Greaves”
What can this leg armor do in Destiny 2? All shoulder charge abilities of the Titan, namely
Seismic Strike
Hammer Strike
or Shield Explosion
deal bonus damage when activated in mid-air with these boots. Thus, all Titan focuses can benefit from this Exo.
For comparison – What could this Exo do in Destiny 1? This exotic was tailored to the Striker Titan in Destiny 1. Thus, the wearer dealt bonus damage with a shoulder charge if this attack was activated in mid-air. Additionally, agility was increased for 5 seconds after an Arc double kill.
What do you think of the currently known Exotics? Do you think more Exos will be introduced during Season 7?
In a few days, new content will be released for The Division 2 and Update 5 will be available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Our author Schuhmann is looking forward to the patch, which brings many important improvements four months after release.
This is the situation: At the moment, The Division 2 is a bit neglected. Since the “Tidal Basin” update on April 5, not much has happened that interested all players. At least I haven’t logged in since April.
I had a lot of fun wandering through the aviation museum for the first time and suddenly being on Mars or shooting around in the Vietnam setting of a museum.
Heroic missions and the raid: Until now, farming for loot in The Division 2 was, in my opinion, a bit too random. I saw no good reason to do the “hard” stuff.
With Update 5, bosses in heroic missions will now drop Exotics. While this is still random, there will then be a clear reason to farm the items.
I have hardly seen any reasons to log in to The Division 2 in recent weeks – I think that will change with the heroic missions. I am excited to casually try the raid in “Discovery Mode.” I will be able to do that starting July 23.
More build variety: With Title Update 5, “skill builds” are finally set to become useful. You won’t just be able to run around like Rambo, as is the case now, but as a tank with a big shield or as someone who triggers skills from behind.
I look forward to playing something different in The Division 2 with Update 5 than the guy with the LMG who just shoots and only uses skills to have a bonus life.
Fair Exotics: Anyone who previously found an Exotic had to rely on luck that it came with a “strong roll.” With Update 5, that’s over. Items drop with max roll when found at gear score 500.
Also, the vendor Cassie Mandoza is supposed to finally become useful. I haven’t hunted Exotics or Cassie before, but in 2 weeks I will deal with both.
Exploring Expeditions on your own: Expeditions are already live on the PTS. From Massive’s point of view, they should be the centerpiece of Episode 1. But players have been rather critical of them so far. Many veterans browsing reddit have wished for the return of modes from The Division 1 like Underground or Survival.
For them, “Expeditions” are just silly maps where you run in circles without a radar. I am curious whether this will be my impression as well or if they will become the highlight of Episode 1, as Massive seems to believe.
Sounds like the perfect update for me
That’s why the update is ideal for me: I have played The Division 2 with enthusiasm so far, but I am far from being a hardcore veteran like many who are currently criticizing The Division 2 heavily for taking too little from The Division 1.
On July 10th, the new update Percival of the sandbox MMORPG Albion Online was released. Highlights of the patch include the solo dungeons and new features for fashion and styling fans.
What are the new solo dungeons? On March 20th, randomized dungeons were introduced with the Oberon update. These are dungeons that appear randomly on the world map, are randomly generated, and have varying difficulty levels.
This concept is now being adopted for the solo dungeons. These are intended to provide challenges for solo players and include both familiar and new opponents.
The new dungeons can be recognized by the portal entrance and scale their difficulty according to the area in which they appear.
What else does the patch offer? In addition to the solo dungeons, the update Percival includes two other major new features. Firstly, there are now new options for the appearance of characters, and secondly, weapons have been given new abilities.
Adjust your character’s appearance for free anywhere
What’s new with the characters? You can now adjust your character’s appearance from anywhere by right-clicking on your character portrait. There you can change the face, hairstyle, and skin color at any time, free of charge.
However, completely new hairstyles and faces have also been added that you can give to your character. Unlocking each option costs gold.
Anyone with a flair for fashion will be doubly pleased. Percival also brought new mount skins to customize your loyal companion’s appearance.
What’s new for the weapons? The new patch introduced a total of 7 new skills for different weapons:
Axes: Whirlwind Blades
Frost Staffs: Ice Shards
Hammers: Ring of Inertia
Nature Staffs: Refreshing Breeze
Battle Staffs: Uplifting Strike
Spears: The Spear
Swords: Parry Strike
How strong these will be and whether they can compete with others will be revealed in the coming days and weeks.
How is it going with Albion Online? After switching to Free2Play in April 2019, Albion Online has performed exceptionally well. Player numbers on Steam and also through the client skyrocketed.
Meanwhile, the curve has at least flattened on Steam, but is still significantly higher than before the model change. In June, according to Steamcharts, an average of 4,312 players played, and during peak times, there were a total of 7,565. Thus, the game has ten times better numbers than it had in March of this year.
Our author Alexander Leitsch took a closer look at Albion Online after the Free2Play switch and shared his experiences with you:
This led to players constantly getting in each other’s way, and players had to queue for boss encounters. Sometimes it took a long time before it was their turn to defeat the boss.
Moreover, many players simply wanted to be “THE hero” who defeated the evil boss monster. This is naturally difficult in an MMORPG, as everyone wants to achieve this. Likewise, the housing situation was slowly becoming a problem. In Ultima Online, for example, players littered the wilderness with their houses, which harmed the atmosphere.

What is different about instances? The introduction of instances allows individual players or groups to explore a dungeon undisturbed. Everything that happens in the instance occurs only for those who are present there. There are no “strangers” running around to defeat the boss as well.
Often, the boss does not respawn after the fight, creating the impression that the heroes have accomplished a great deed and defeated the monster once and for all – at least as long as the instance is not repeated.
Which MMORPG introduced instances? The MMORPG The Realm Online is considered the online game that introduced the concept to the genre. The Realm Online was released in 1996. The game published by Sierra Online resembled the graphic adventures of that time. It was played from a side-scrolling perspective, similar to the King’s Quest or Space Quest games. However, it is an MMORPG.
The special aspect of the game was its combat. Not only were the battles turn-based, but they also took place outside the open game world. Players would enter an instance where only the participating players could fight against the monsters.
This was, of course, a very rudimentary form of instances, which later made their way into more and more MMORPGs.
In Runescape, instances are used in quests so players can complete their tasks undisturbed.
In Guild Wars, nearly the entire game was instanced. The cities consisted of several districts, and the areas were entered by each group alone.
In World of Warcraft, instances are created for raids so that larger groups can focus on their tasks.
In The Elder Scrolls Online, instances play a very significant role. Decisions can change the game world. Depending on the choices you made, you find yourself in an instance with players who made the same decisions as you.
The Lord of the Rings Online offers housing in a special instance.
Raids play a significant role in WoW in closed instances.
Not everyone likes instances
However, instances are also criticized: Some MMORPG fans believe that instances go against the nature of an online role-playing game. MMORPGs should be designed to allow as many players as possible to adventure together.
The more instances an online RPG has, the more players are isolated from each other. The social interaction and togetherness become less significant. For this reason, the upcoming MMORPG Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen will not offer any instances. Nonetheless, they have become indispensable in the genre today.
What do you think of instances? Are they a must in an MMORPG, or do they hinder the experience?
What can be Shiny? You can pull 14 possible Shinys from the raids. So if you haven’t had luck in the wild, you might find a Shiny in the raid. The following Pokémon can also be found in their shiny versions:
As a counter against Mewtwo, Tyranitar is a strong choice
Particularly worthwhile are Gengar and Tyranitar. They are among the top counters against Mewtwo with armor. Scyther and Shuppet also have good evolutions that are effective.
How long will the bosses be available? Armored Mewtwo will disappear on July 31. The current raid bosses will exist until then. What will come after that is still unknown.
If you want to know how strong Armored Mewtwo can be, check it out here:
The Amazon Game Studios are working with the Chinese company Leyou Technologies on a new Free2Play MMO based on The Lord of the Rings. This could be very interesting for online role-playing game fans.
It is an online role-playing game set during the era of the novel trilogy The Lord of the Rings. At least, in the press release, it states that it will be a Free2Play MMO based on the literary work “The Lord of the Rings”. The MMO was announced already in September 2018, now it is confirmed who is developing the game.
This is the map of the upcoming Lord of the Rings MMO.
An exciting MMO
Why could the MMO be exciting? The team responsible for developing the game includes developers who have previously worked on the games Destiny, Planetside, WoW, Everquest, Defiance, and Rift.
The team at Amazon Game Studios has a lot of experience in developing well-known and popular MMORPGs. Moreover, the studio is currently demonstrating with New World that it can develop a quite interesting online game.
Furthermore, the new MMO is not only announced for PC but also for console. It is likely to be released for the Playstation 5 and Xbox Scarlett. This means that not only PC players but also console fans will have access to this game.
It is certainly conceivable that we are expecting a very interesting and exciting MMO(RPG) that caters to players who are eager for a new, epic theme park MMORPG on PC and console.
Is it even an MMORPG? So far, the game is only referred to as an MMO. However, looking at who is developing it and the experience the team possesses, one can reasonably assume that it is an MMORPG. However, we must wait to see until the game is presented in more detail.
The Lord of the Rings MMO is being developed by Amazon Game Studios, who are also working on New World.
Many questions remain unanswered
What about the monetization? The new MMO based on The Lord of the Rings is supposed to be released as a Free2Play game. Players are still somewhat skeptical about this. A Chinese company handling the monetization of a Free2Play MMO raises alarm bells for many.
However, we must first wait to see what the microtransactions look like. Amazon certainly does not want to be associated with Pay2Win elements.
What about The Lord of the Rings Online? Currently, we already have LotRO as an MMORPG. What happens if there are two online role-playing games with the same scenario?
In the official forum of The Lord of the Rings Online, there is already lively discussion on this topic. The opinion is that we should first wait to see what kind of game actually comes out. It may differ significantly from LotRO and both games can exist in parallel.
The fans of The Lord of the Rings naturally defend “their” game and currently want nothing to do with the new game.
For about two weeks now, we have been able to play the new LoL Auto Chess Teamfight Tactics. Our MeinMMO editor Alex will take a live look at the game starting at 1:00 PM on MAX.
According to Sullygnome, Teamfight Tactics has been in second place among the most viewed games on Twitch in the last 7 days. Therefore, we want to take a closer look at the game on our Monsters and Explosions Twitch channel.
What is Teamfight Tactics? Teamfight Tactics is based on the existing Auto Chess games and brings the game concept into the League of Legends universe.
There are also some interesting innovations like the carousel, adjustments to gold and mana behavior, and a hexagonal playing field instead of the checkerboard pattern.
What happens in the stream? Starting at 1 PM, Alex will explain the most important basics to you and play three to four rounds of the new game.
We will try out different game characters and combinations, and of course discuss the game in the chat.
After that, we will switch to Dota Underlords for about two hours and will try out some rounds there as well. So, Auto Chess fans should not miss it.
When is the stream? It starts at 1:00 PM this Thursday and we will play TFT until around 4:00 PM. After that, there will be a few rounds of Dota 2 Underlords until 6:00 PM.
If you are a fan of Auto Chess, you should generally note down Thursday. Alex usually streams every week from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM either TFT or Underlords.
With the Weekly Reset on July 9th, the Tribute Hall came to Destiny 2. Calus built a hall on the Leviathan for his favorite Guardian to celebrate their achievements. However, the hall is not only for showcasing various player triumphs, but also fulfills a long-held desire for players to have their own space – and a shooting range.
What is the Tribute Hall? With the Weekly Reset on July 9th, Guardians had a lot to do. The Triumph Moments 2019 were introduced, followed by the Tribute Hall.
This special hall can be found on Nessus at the Leviathan, right next to the icon for the Menagerie. It is your personal Hall of Fame, built in honor of you by Emperor Calus. There you can display certain trophies and earn the exotic pulse rifle Bad Juju, even though the quest seems to be currently bugged.
Bad Juju, a pulse rifle from Destiny 1, has now returned to Destiny 2
Along with the trophies and the weapon, the Tribute Hall also brings something that Destiny 2 players have long wished for: a dedicated area and a shooting range!
The offerings of the Tribute Hall in Destiny 2
What can you do in the hall? Players can earn various tributes or purchase them at horrendous prices from the giant statue of Calus. However, they also gain access to further interesting opportunities:
Some tributes make kinetic, energy, and power ammunition appear on the walls where players can refresh their ammo.
After that, an orb appears that charges super energy.
Access to the vault is also available later on
It extends to simulated enemy types
Now everything makes sense, as Destiny 2 finally has its own shooting range with the Tribute Hall.

What do the players say? Many players seem to have only recently discovered the further purpose of the Tribute Hall, as there are still some Guardians on the Destiny subreddit amazed by what their own space on the Leviathan has to offer.

Players are excited about the shooting range they have always wanted in Destiny. Community Manager dmg states that Bungie is listening to the players
Many Guardians have developed their own ways over the years to determine how much damage a weapon does or how effective it is. Like “Gred the Ogre”, the ogre in the Lost Sector on Titan, which regularly appears in the videos of the YouTuber Aztecross and for which players wish for their own tribute.
Many players are grateful that they now have a place where they can access their weapons and test them out. However, they also have further suggestions on how to enhance this “Personal Space”. For example, it is desired that they can accept bounties from there or display their armor.
On the test servers, PVE, of League of Legends, much is being experimented with the new game mode, Teamfight Tactics. An item has now been revised that upgrades your champions by one level: Thus, 4-star heroes are possible.
Which item has been changed? The Guardian Angel item previously revived the bearer of the item with 500 health points. This effect has also been retained on the PBE, but it received an addition there.
In addition to resurrection, the champion wearing the Guardian Angel will also be upgraded by one level.
What new levels can now be reached? Previously, it was only possible to upgrade champions up to level 3. The reason for this is that you would need to have the same champion 27 times for a fourth level.
However, the revision of the Guardian Angel ensures that the bearer, if they are a level 3 champion, is now upgraded again.
The new effect, however, cannot be stacked. A champion of level 5 or 6 does not exist. Additional Guardian Angels will revive the champion again.
Extremely strong, but not invincible
How strong are champions at level 4? By increasing the level, champions receive additional health points and all their attributes are improved. This makes the champions stronger and allows them to live longer.
However, according to initial reports, they are not invincible. Beneficial for the units is the other effect of the Guardian Angel, the resurrection. Since they only return with 500 health points, they can quickly be taken out again.
What else is being experimented with on the test server? The PBE offers some innovations compared to the live version. For example, there is already the first new champion Twisted Fate.
In addition, you can also test the new ranked mode on the PBE. The focus is also on changes to the distribution of items. Some neutral enemies will always drop an item in the future, which should make distribution fairer.
When will the innovations come to the live server? A release of the innovations is planned for patch 9.14. This is expected to be released on Wednesday, July 17.
However, it may be that experiments like the innovations to the Guardian Angel may not make it to the live servers at all.
Do you want to succeed in Teamfight Tactics? Here are two strategies for dealing with gold:
Niantic has announced the first Community Day in Wizards Unite. There wasn’t much information on it, but some assumptions can already be made based on the events in Pokémon GO.
What is a Community Day?Such an event has been happening in Pokémon GO every month for over a year. A special Pokémon appears more frequently, and you can benefit from bonuses. In Pokémon GO, the event always lasts for 3 hours.
Such an event is now coming to Wizards Unite as well. How exactly the Community Day will unfold here is still unknown. We are making some assumptions about what might await us.
First Community Day in Wizards Unite
What has Niantic announced? So far, the developers have only stated that a Community Day will take place. What exactly will happen there is not yet known. However, the event will take place on July 20th, a Saturday.

What could await us? Players suspect that special collectible items will appear more frequently over a short period of time. This could be similar to the last event with the items from the Forbidden Forest.
During that event, these items appeared significantly more often, and anyone who played a bit could fill the entire page in the registry.
Here is where the implementation becomes tricky: The highlight of every Community Day in Pokémon GO is the Shinies, which are Pokémon that have a different color and are therefore particularly rare.
Such a thing doesn’t actually exist in Wizards Unite. It remains to be seen whether or how the developers will implement this point.
What kind of bonuses could await us? In Pokémon GO, the bonuses rotate every month. In Wizards Unite, you might find more spell energy or receive experience points faster.
On Community Day, you might get more spell energy
Another possible bonus could be the reduction of the distance for Portkeys. This is regularly done in Pokémon GO with eggs as well.
When can we know more? The Community Day is already in 9 days. It shouldn’t take long for Niantic to announce more information.
What do you think? What could await us at the 1st Community Day?
