In Pokémon GO, Mewtwo returns. This time it has armor and therefore different stats. But how strong will this armored Mewtwo be?
When will armored Mewtwo be available? This Mewtwo form will be available tonight, on July 10th, at 10 PM in raids. You have time to battle it until July 31st.
Will it be strong? In short: Armored Mewtwo will be significantly weaker than normal Mewtwo. We will show you the stats here and explain how useful Mewtwo will be.
What do the stats say? To give you a direct comparison, we will show you the differences between armored Mewtwo and normal Mewtwo.
| Stat | Armored Mewtwo | Normal Mewtwo |
| Attack Stat | 182 | 300 |
| Defense Stat | 278 | 182 |
| HP Stat | 214 | 214 |
| Max CP | 3187 | 4178 |
What does this mean for armored Mewtwo? This Mewtwo will be quite weak and not comparable to normal Mewtwo at all.
The defense stat is quite high, which does not really matter, as you cannot put Mewtwo in a gym. However, the attack stat will be rather weak. Pokémon like Pidgeot or Sandshrew have the same strong attack stat. These are also not useful in battle.
What moves can it learn? Armored Mewtwo learns different moves than normal Mewtwo. It has:
That’s why the raid fight will be difficult: Armored Mewtwo is quite hard to defeat as a raid boss. This is due to its high defense stat and especially the moves. Almost every attack is a good counter against your top attacker.
For example, Tyranitar will be taken down by Dynamic Punch. Bug Pokémon like Scizor or Pinsir are very effectively hit by Rock Slide.
How many people are needed in the raid? Despite all these difficulties, you can defeat Mewtwo with three players. However, you need very strong counters. It becomes easier with 4-5 players, where defeating Mewtwo becomes significantly easier.
Will armored Mewtwo be useless? In battle, you will not deal much damage with this Mewtwo. Hence, it will rather become a collector’s item. Or a significantly worse alternative among the psychic attackers.
However, Mewtwo is worth it for collecting candies. You can catch the armored Mewtwo and then use the candies obtained to power up a normal Mewtwo. These are always worth it in battle.
In Pokémon GO, there are now new moves as well. We will show you which of them are worthwhile:

In July 2019, there was a last-minute change regarding the PS Plus games. The game “Pro Evolution Soccer 2019” for PS4 was removed and replaced by Detroit: Become Human. Konami clarifies: That was not our decision, but Sony’s. Apparently, Konami didn’t even know what was happening.
This is the situation: A few days ago, the free games for PS4 were announced. At least free for those who have a PS Plus subscription. They were:
This is how it went down: The offer was overall viewed very critically by the players. After all, Pro Evolution Soccer 2019 is a sports game at the end of its lifecycle, the season is over, and the next installment is coming soon.
Sports games are niche. Those who like them buy them right at release. However, most players tend to try out a shooter or an action game when it’s free, rather than a soccer title.
On MeinMMO, readers commented:
Here was the change: When the offer actually went live, Sony replaced the sports game with “Detroit: Become Human”.
Detroit: Become Human is a highly acclaimed action-adventure.
This is how Konami reacts: According to GameSpot, Konami states, “This decision was made by Sony. So please also ask Sony.”
The Brand Manager for PES in Europe mentioned that the decision surprised Konami itself. It was not planned.
The Brand Manager only learned about it when she opened her laptop in the morning. “I honestly can’t explain it,” she tells GameSpot.
This is what Sony says: Sony states: “We decided to change the lineup for PS Plus this month. We will offer Detroit: Become Human Digital Deluxe Edition instead of PES 2019. This decision was made as a company and we apologize for any inconvenience.”
What’s behind it: No one says it, but evidently the reaction to PES in PS Plus was so negative that Sony turned the plans upside down at the last minute.
Konami doesn’t seem to take this very well, but all parties seem to be biting their tongues.

In the game Super Smash Bros Ultimate, a 15-year-old girl defeated one of the top 10 players in the world. However, in hindsight, she regretted her victory as she was attacked for it and was apparently close to giving it all up.
What match is it about? It is about a roughly 15-minute tournament match between the player “Bocchi,” a 15-year-old, and the professional player Ally (28):
It is an unusual match-up for Ally, because Isabelle is rarely played and many do not even consider her. The match was narrowly won by the 15-year-old – very much to the delight of the audience on-site.
This is why it is special: Ally is a well-known pro and considered one of the top 10 Smash players in the world. Bocchi is a complete unknown. The two faced each other at a local tournament.
How was it reported? A video about the match made waves in the Smash Ultimate community.
The video “15-Year-Old Girl DESTROYS Pro Smash Ultimate Player” received 485,426 views on YouTube. The video made the girl instantly known in the Smash Bros community.
Bocchi’s Twitter account grew rapidly. She now has nearly 20,000 followers. The numbers also increased on Twitch.
This is the aftermath: The girl later said she would rather not have won if she had known how much hate would come her way. She announced she would delete her Twitter account and withdraw from the Smash community.
She says she is an emotional girl and is not used to being in the spotlight. Most of the hate likely comes because she is a girl. It is already tough being a teenager. Being a teenager in an extremely male-dominated community is extremely weird.
and spotlight on me. I’m also a very emotional girl, being a teenager is actually the worst especially in an extremely male dominated community it’s very weird.
long story short, thank you everyone for being so kind and reaching out. I feel better already. i will not be-— bocchi (@bocchibelle) July 3, 2019
However, this only lasted a few hours. Later, she said that after announcing her departure from the community, so many positive messages reached her that she was convinced more people love her than hate her.
This is what it’s all about: There is a controversial discussion about why Bocchi receives so much hate. Other players who achieved such victories over favorites apparently were not attacked:
Some say this shows the Smash community at its worst, trying to keep girls out.
Some on reddit distanced themselves from the people causing the trouble. They say this is not the Smash community, these are “trolls” who probably have never been to a tournament.
Others, however, find there is too much fuss being made about the girl, that other young players have accomplished more but benefited less because they are not girls but boys.
This is what it’s all about: The role of women in eSports and how much recognition they deserve is often discussed in such cases:

In World of Warcraft the third season of Battle for Azeroth has begun. This means lots of loot and new world bosses.
Since today (07/10/2019) the third season has started in World of Warcraft. This not only means the opening of the new raid “Eternal Palace”, for which the cinematic is already known, but also a variety of new sources for good loot. The most important part of this is a new world boss who can drop really strong loot for very little effort.
Which boss is it? This week the world boss Ulmath is active in Nazjatar. The dark creature of the Old Gods differs from other world bosses in that it drops significantly stronger loot. Not only does the equipment it leaves behind have an item level of 415, but there are also plenty of weapons in its loot table!
So if you’re looking for a strong weapon for the new content, you should take on Ulmath. You can find him with his two companions far to the east of Nazjatar, he will be shown with a world quest.
But be careful. Ulmath and his two spirits hit significantly harder than other world bosses. Careless players will often die in the process.
Don’t forget the seals: Just remember to get at least one Seal of War-Torn Fate before attacking the world boss. You can buy this from the Ascendants in your capital city (Boralus or Dazar’alor) for gold, war resources, or honor badges. This gives you a “bonus roll” on the boss’s loot and a second chance – with a lot of luck, you might even snag two items.
Other content is also worth it: At the same time, the item level from other content has also increased. So for the emissary quest in Stormsong Valley (Alliance), there is also a reward box with item level 415 as a reward today. However, this scales with your character’s equipment. If they are still wearing low item level gear, the reward will be lower.
It is in any case a perfect time to simply prepare for the new raid or gear up your characters. You should take the chance, as one or two strong items make a big difference in Mechagon and Nazjatar.
Did you have luck with Ulmath? Or did that tentacled thing not drop any loot for you?

In Apex Legends a ranking list was recently introduced. But it’s hardly enjoyable for anyone at the top ranks. The reason is cheaters. However, there are already ideas on what could be done about it.
What is the problem with the cheaters? Those who are climbing to the higher ranks in the newly introduced Season 2 rankings of Apex Legends are likely to soon experience quite a surprise. Because around the Platinum League, you will regularly get shot down with great precision.
So are there only full professionals like Shroud, the human aimbot, around? Not at all, rather it is often cheaters who actually use cheats like aimbots and wallhacks.
The cheaters are that brutal: An impressive video to the epic orchestral piece Dies Irae (appropriately Days of Wrath) shows a fitting summary of how cheeky the cheaters are. The videos show streamers who, after their death, continue to watch their killers and can hardly believe their eyes.
This is how the alleged cheaters shoot accurately even at enormous distances, precisely follow their opponents with the crosshairs, even when they are behind walls, and almost constantly hit the head.
According to many players, the upper ranking list is virtually unplayable. It just isn’t fun when cheaters farm all fair-playing teammates. Even top players like Shroud are said to have already fallen victim to cheaters, according to the site DoteSports.
Here’s how the problem could be solved: But a player and Reddit user named Pjeh has listed a few plausible ideas on how to solve the cheater problem. Among other things, he suggests:
This is what the players think: Pjeh’s ideas are largely well-received by the fans. Only the argument for level 100 for ranked play is not popular with everyone. Cheaters would also quickly grind to this level, and many non-cheaters who would like to participate would be barred.
A compromise could be to introduce level 100 as a requirement only from the Gold League onwards.
However, so far the players’ ideas have only been wishes, as the developers have not commented on them specifically. But hopefully, something will happen soon, as according to many players, the upper league is currently unplayable.

In Destiny 2 players quickly found a quest for the exotic weapon “Bad Juju” after the new update last night. But something stands out: some even consider it a bug. Those who try to obtain it with multiple characters encounter difficulties. Many have already resolved a quest “into nothing.”
This was the find: As soon as the update in Destiny 2 went online last night there was a pleasant surprise for Guardians who have been shooting aliens in the head for a while.
In the Tribute Hall, Calus distributes the quest for “Bad Juju.”
This wasn’t a huge surprise, a leak had predicted the return of Bad Juju to Destiny 2.
What is special about “Bad Juju?” This was a weapon that already existed in Destiny 1. Many Guardians liked the pulse rifle for its extravagant design and gameplay feel. The weapon is fully automatic. In Destiny 1, kills reload the weapon, increase damage, and grant Super energy.
Also in Destiny 2, the perk “String of Curses” ensures that the weapon is reloaded and its damage increases. The weapon also grants Super energy again.
What is the stumbling block? To snag the Bad Juju, players need to earn tributes from Calus in Destiny 2. Tributes are earned by unlocking certain triumphs, but some can also be purchased at the visage of Calus, a statue in the Tribute Hall.
As reported by Forbes, most purchasable tributes require large amounts of planetary materials. These run out quickly for players. However, there are daily rewards that provide players with a continually increasing discount the more they earn.
But a problem or design decision from Bungie seems to prevent this discount from being properly spread account-wide across different characters: the quests apparently only count with one character, not with multiple.
With one character, you can earn up to 4% discount daily. Players hoped that with 3 characters, they could earn an additional 12% daily discount. But the system apparently doesn’t work as intended right now.
If you perform the 4 daily bounties for the price reduction on a 2nd character, instead of 4% you only get 2%. On a 3rd character, these 4 bounties might yield 1 or 2%, but often no discount at all. So the daily possible discount percentages currently vary between 4 and 8%.
Therefore, players warn that they have wasted time on bounties that end up yielding nothing. Forbes believes there is something off.
Whether this was actually intended remains to be seen, and due to the varying results from player to player, it is at least questionable. There is definitely a risk of completing quests on a secondary or tertiary character into nothing.
On reddit, players report: you can only pursue the quest with one character. It’s unnecessary to try to earn it with multiple – at least until there is clarity. This yields nothing but frustration.
It wouldn’t be the first time that progress on such bounties is bugged: Why the new powerful bounties from Werner are worth it again.
This is the warning: Only work on the quest with one character, otherwise you’ll regret it later.
How to earn the Bad Juju in Destiny 2, we have outlined here for you:

In Pokémon GO, there are some changes to the moves and the PvP mode. We present to you the highlights and reveal which Pokémon are now truly worth it.
This is the change in question: Niantic has made a significant change to the moves of Pokémon. Now, 13 Pokémon can learn new moves and 2 more new moves have been introduced into the game.
Due to these changes, many Pokémon are now considerably more useful in battle and can benefit from their type. Which Pokémon are now particularly strong, we show you here.
Zapdos with Wing Attack: Until now, Zapdos could not learn a Flying-type Fast Attack. This is now changing, and for the first time, there is a truly good Flying attacker in Pokémon GO.
As a result, Zapdos becomes a top counter in Machamp raids. But generally, against Fighting, Bug, and Grass types, Zapdos is now even a bit stronger.
Additionally, Zapdos learns Ancient Power, which could be useful in PvP. However, in gym battles, you should not rely on Ancient Power.
Aerodactyl with Stone Edge: Finally, Aerodactyl becomes useful! With the move Stone Edge, it evolves into a very strong Rock attacker.
Tyranitar and Rampardos are still better, but it can now compete with Rhyperior. So if you are looking for a good alternative to the top Rock attackers, you will find it with Aerodactyl now.
Gardevoir with Charm: There is finally a Fairy-type Fast Attack in the game. Many players have been waiting for this and now the Fairy type can finally be utilized properly.
Gardevoir may not become incredibly strong with Charm, but it can definitely hold its own against Pokémon like Machamp or Dragapult. It is a solid alternative to the top attackers and finally makes the Fairy type useful.
Which Pokémon are now also better? A lot has particularly changed among the PvP attackers. Many Pokémon now have more moves and can be used more broadly. We give you some examples:
Additionally, some Pokémon have also been improved, which, while not incredibly strong, can certainly be mentioned:
What else has changed? There are still more Pokémon that can learn new moves. You can find a detailed overview on the Pokémon GO website.
What has changed in PvP? Niantic has also made some adjustments to the PvP mode. Now, the battle is paused while you switch a Pokémon in PvP.
Additionally, new swipe and tap mechanics have been introduced in PvP to improve the gameplay experience.
What do you think of the changes? Which Pokémon will you use more now?

Yesterday, the latest cinematic of World of Warcraft was revealed. It takes place after the battle against Azshara. However, most fans are rather disappointed.
Many WoW fans have been waiting for yesterday’s day since BlizzCon 2018 when it became clear that the journey was heading to Nazjatar. The first players could clear the raid “Eternal Palace” and see the new cinematic that played at the end. However, it disappoints the fans – they got to see less than they had hoped for.
What was shown? The cinematic shows Azshara sinking to the ground. She writhes a bit before lying motionless. As Lor’themar Theron and Jaina Proudmoore approach Azshara, a titan-like construction activates in the background. This emits a burst of Azerite that breaks a whole series of chains. An eye of N’Zoth opens before shadowy tentacles rise from the depths and engulf Azshara.
The community is disappointed: The first reactions in most chats were a disappointed “That’s it?” which translates to “Is that all?”. Clearly, expectations were higher. The cinematic neither showed N’Zoth clearly nor contained particularly much tension or action. While what happened is important for the lore – after all, Azshara is still alive and N’Zoth is freed – it leaves the players unsatisfied. One is hardly wiser than before.
Why is the disappointment so great? The issue with this cinematic was probably that high expectations were built up beforehand. The developers had repeatedly hinted that there would be an unexpected twist in “Azshara’s Ascent”. However, it has now turned out exactly as most players have long suspected and as supported by previous data mining.
Particularly eager fans had even hoped that the cinematic could already provide a small glimpse of what the next major expansion is about. Here, the rise of the Black Empire was particularly discussed, which could come with a change in the game world.
Or as Magnarose14 summarizes it on Reddit:
Well, that was disappointing. But at least it is clear that N’Zoth is free and they haven’t completely consumed Azshara.
How did you like the cinematic? Are you satisfied with this clip after defeating Azshara? Does it tease enough? Or does the video reveal too little and is too boring?

In Fortnite: Battle Royale there was a sensational case in December 2018. A streamer became physical with his partner during a live stream on Twitch and was subsequently arrested. The trial has now commenced.
What happened? In early December 2018, there was a disturbing incident on Twitch. The streamer Luke “MrDeadMoth” Munday got into a heated argument live with his then-pregnant partner. She apparently wanted him to stop streaming and spend time with her and the kids, but he refused.
The situation escalated when the woman threw a cardboard box at him and he eventually flipped out and hit his girlfriend in front of the two children who were also present. The outburst of violence was partially visible, but primarily audible in the stream.
This led to a report being filed against the streamer.
The case is now in court and could have serious consequences for the former streamer.
What is the charge? Munday has now been charged with assault. His partner also filed an “Apprehended Violence Order”, a type of restraining order, to keep Munday away from her and the children.
What punishment does he face? In court, the defendant pleaded guilty and admitted to slapping the woman.
There was also a previous charge of assault against Munday, which was unrelated to domestic violence. However, the man seems to have a problem with his aggression.
If convicted, he faces a maximum penalty of 2 years in prison under Australian law. The verdict is expected to be announced on August 26.
What happened to the streaming career? After the incident on Twitch became known, Munday received a 14-day ban from Twitch. He then resumed streaming, which led to widespread outrage on social media.
After all, other streamers have been banned for much less serious offenses for longer periods. Ultimately, Twitch relented and permanently banned MrDeadMoth’s channel.

The head of Hello Games and No Man’s Sky, Sean Murray, advises games that have received criticism, like Anthem or Fallout 76, on how best to handle criticism after launch: They should let the community complain and remain silent.
The situation of No Man’s Sky: The space game No Man’s Sky had a release no game developer wishes for. The hype was huge, but at launch in August 2016, many players were disappointed. They did not receive what they had expected. There were accusations of fraud, waves of returns, and massive criticism.
However, No Man’s Sky has recovered from this rocky start and released the Foundation Update in November 2016, which significantly improved the game. Since then, No Man’s Sky has been on an upward trajectory, and the community loves Hello Games and fully supports them again.
One can say that Hello Games knows how to get out of such situations and bring the community back to their side.
Murray says: The head of No Man’s Sky simply advises to remain calm. It is important to focus on development work and not to confront the angry crowd. He says:
“It took us about two years to even talk to the press, and we worked for about three months without saying anything to the community. That was really hard. I sat down so many times and wrote the perfect blog post that was supposed to explain everything about the development of the game and the roadmap. But I could see that it wasn’t credible given the situation we were in.”
Sean Murray at the developer conference in Brighton
It is therefore more important to complete the game than to explain to the community what is planned. The players are already angry and without action, nothing will change.
No Man’s Sky has shown this, and that is exactly what Murray advises games like Anthem or Fallout 76, which are currently under fire from their communities.
“There have been a number of games that have since [the launch of No Man’s Sky] been released, had a polarizing start, and this explosive mix of many players and some issues. And I can see that EA, Microsoft, or Bethesda are trying to placate players by just talking to them, but whether it was true or not, it just doesn’t really work. You see it all the time when a major publisher talks to the community and tries to solve the problem, and then they get more and more entangled in it and lose sight of the actual problem.”
Sean Murray at the developer conference in Brighton
What about the affected games? Surprisingly, both games seem to follow this advice.
In May, the game’s Twitter account posted very few messages, and the developers seem to focus more on development.
And recently, it seems that something is happening: New interesting weapons have appeared on the PTS.
Fallout 76 also seems to be on the upswing after a while and is breaking with initial design decisions. They now plan to introduce NPCs after all.
A surprisingly launched free-to-play mode that brought battle royale to the game gained positive feedback. They didn’t really showcase it; they just released it.
What do you think? Can you relate to Murray’s advice, or would you prefer a developer who maintains constant contact with the community?

The cinematic of the boss fight against Queen Azshara in World of Warcraft is live. Check out the dramatic ending and its consequences here.
In World of Warcraft, the new raid “Eternal Palace” has been live for a few hours – at least in America. Fans have eagerly awaited the final battle against Queen Azshara, as the fight features a cinematic.
This was released after the first group mastered the new raid. You can watch the cinematic here.
Spoiler warning: If you do not want to know how the story of Azshara continues during and after the raid, you should not read further. You have been warned.
What is visible in the cinematic? Azshara is defeated by the forces of the Horde and the Alliance. She collapses and sinks lifeless to the ground. Jaina and Lor’themar Theron step closer.
Just at that moment, a titan construction finishes its work. Wild energies explode and destroy chains reaching into the depths. N’Zoth awakens.
The old god reaches for Azshara with one of his tentacles and lifts her body. Azshara’s eyes snap open, she gasps for air – and is subsequently pulled (alive) into the darkness of the old god.
The cinematic ends with the words of the old god:
“All eyes shall be opened.” – “Alle Augen sollen geöffnet werden.”
Cortyn says: Honestly, I am a bit disappointed with the cinematic. After Jeremy Feasel said a few weeks ago that “Patch 8.2 leaves no doubt who the final boss of Battle for Azeroth will be,” one is now hardly wiser. Of course, N’Zoth remains the big evil creature in the background, but Azshara is (thankfully!) not completely gone yet.
Eternal Palace starts in Europe tomorrow: In Europe, we still have to wait until tomorrow (July 10, 2019), then the new raid will also open for us, at least on normal and heroic difficulty. The mythic difficulty and the different LFR wings will follow in the coming weeks.
What do you think of this cinematic? Would you have predicted this outcome of the story? Or were you surprised by the video?

In Destiny 2 was released today, on July 9th, for all platforms (PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC) the new update 2.5.1.1. Here’s everything you need to know about the maintenance work, server downtime, and the patch notes.
Today, some fresh content from the Season 7 is starting in Destiny 2. But before you can get started, there’s a new update. The patch is now live and can be downloaded. On PS4, the update has version number 1.37 and is approximately 380 MB in size.
Bungie hasn’t revealed much about this yet. What is known so far is the following:
Some Guardians speculate that for example the overpowered exotic shotgun “Lord of Wolves” could be adjusted today or that Bungie might address the incompatibility of Destiny 2 with the new Ryzen 3000 processors on PC.
A complete list of all changes will likely only be available with the patch notes sometime later today.
Bungie is evidently not fully out of holiday mode after July 4th, as the studio has only recently released the schedule for today’s maintenance. Previously, there were only some brief updates on Twitter.
Now the exact schedule is finally known. The new Destiny update today will be accompanied by maintenance work. There will also be a brief server downtime.
This is what we know about the maintenance on July 9th:
The official German patch notes for the new Destiny 2 update are not yet available. These will likely be released by Bungie later tonight (July 9th). Until then, we have linked the original English change log for you:

The hardware manufacturer Razer aims to support emerging streamers on Twitch. Streamers can sign up for the new program #RazerStreamer and receive quests to earn free hardware or fame.
What is RazerStreamer? Razer is primarily known for its colorful gaming hardware and crazy toasters. But starting today, July 9, 2019, Razer also wants to make a name for itself as a supporter of streamers on Twitch. With the #RazerStreamer program, newcomers in the streaming field are to be supported.
To this end, Razer offers both discounts on hardware and support mediation. Additionally, there are quests for dedicated streamers. But there is also a catch: what does Razer gain from this?
What does RazerStreamer bring for streamers? If a streamer participates in RazerStreamer, Razer advertises with these benefits:
There is also the possibility to qualify for the bonus program RazerQuest.
What is RazerQuest? This program is a bonus for dedicated streamers. Each month there are selected challenges, such as “Show the best kill in Apex Legends”.
For this, there are tangible prizes like free hardware, vouchers, or rewards.
In addition, particularly impressive actions are recorded on Razer Live and the Spotlight page “Streamer of the Month”. This is meant to help streamers gain more attention.
Through Razer quests, the “gamification” – that is, imparting achievements through game-like elements – is intended to motivate a streamer to achieve greater performance and progress.
How can one participate? Participation in RazerStreamer is free and takes place on the official RazerStreamer page.
The use of Razer hardware is not mandatory, so one can continue using hardware from other providers. However, for participation in RazerQuests, it is required to use at least one Razer device.
Are there any costs? Participation in RazerStreamer is supposed to be free. You can also stop at any time and are not permanently bound to Razer by a contract.
The benefits of the streaming program sound quite promising. You get a starting boost, rewards, and attention as a streamer. But what does Razer gain from this?
The hardware manufacturer is not doing this out of sheer goodwill. Because even if one is not tightly bound to Razer, participating in the program signals to followers that one stands behind Razer and promotes their products.
Through the participants, Razer receives a lot of attention and essentially free advertising. Especially by unlocking goodies through Razer quests, which might then be given away to followers, Razer gains additional attention and potentially ties itself and the followers closer to Razer than one originally intended.
This need not be a bad thing and could potentially be a win/win situation. However, every streamer should consider how closely they want to work with established brands like Razer and others at the start of their career.

In The Division 2 a clip is circulating from the test server that shows shields now absorb considerable damage and even deal damage themselves when the right build is played. Will tanks become playable with Title Update 5?
This is the clip: The clip on reddit shows approximately 35 seconds of a player with a shield withstanding fire from a heavily armed elite enemy. The agent’s shield absorbs the machine gun hits while the player shoots at the enemy with a pistol.
Because the player is using a “Deflector Shield,” the enemy inflicts damage on itself.
This is how players react: They seem positively surprised at first. One player is already fantasizing about how they will build a pistol “Liberty” to become a tank.
Other players make fun of the enemy:
What’s behind the clip? The shield skills in The Division 2 are designed for defensively playing players, for the tanks. But until now, they have not been a viable option.
Those playing as a tank in The Division 2 felt: “I deal less damage and can withstand a few more shots, but then I’m dead without having done anything first.”
Until now, it has not been a sensible decision to play as a tank, as Massive itself has admitted. But this should change with the current Update 5 that is on the PTS.
This is the aim of the new update: Update 5 should make not only DPS builds but also skill builds and tank builds useful.
Until now, Massive has mainly talked about the skill builds. However, the shields have also been significantly overhauled. A tank typically plays with a ballistic shield in The Division 2, which is further refined through mods:
The bonuses increased here for many skill mods from around 20% directly to 100%. This is also true for the mod “Thermoresponsive Polymer,” where now 100% more damage is reflected instead of the previous 20%. This is noticeable in the game itself.
One can be curious whether the build variety will really increase as much as it seems. At the moment, Title Update 5 looks really good and is getting more attractive with news to news.

In Fortnite there is a new skin that you can get by purchasing products for the PS4. So you have to dig deep into your pockets to get the Neo Versa skin.
What kind of skin is this? This is a new variant of the Versa skins. The Neo Versa skin is basically the blue variant of the outfit and can only be obtained when you purchase a PlayStation 4 or accessories.
In total, there are 5 different bundles that you can purchase. The skin is included in all of them along with some additional goodies.
What bundles are available? You can get the skin in 5 different ways. We present the bundles to you:
What does this mean for the skin? The prices for the bundles are not yet known, but the sets will probably cost significantly more than the usual 10 euros for a normal skin.
The cheapest bundle is likely to be the one with the controller. Comparable offers were around 75 euros. So the Neo Versa skin will indeed be a very expensive skin and therefore also rare.
It is not the first time that Epic goes into such collaborations and distributes skins this way. For instance, there were skins for the purchase of special phones or an Xbox. PlayStation players could also secure a special skin by buying a PS4.
When will the outfit be available? The bundles are expected to be released later this month. However, there is no exact date yet.
What do you think of the skin? Would you spend that much money for it?

Overwatch has been plagued by a problem for years. Smurfs ruin the gaming experience for both sides.
Anyone who plays in ranked mode in Overwatch and is placed in Silver, Gold, or Platinum experiences a shocking surprise every few matches. Again and again, you suddenly encounter one or more players who can handle Genji incredibly well, who distribute headshots with Widowmaker in split seconds, or who can obliterate entire teams with Hanzo.
If you then look at the playtime of these players, you rub your eyes in disbelief. Often they have only a few hours with the respective character.
This leads to the thought: This is a Smurf. And it is precisely these Smurf accounts that greatly disturb the players of Overwatch.
What is a Smurf? A Smurf (translated as “Schlumpf”) is a player’s second account. Typically, this player is quite good and has a high skill rating, so they are placed in the higher ranks.
With a Smurf account, they can then “start anew” and compete against players who are significantly below their skill level. Thus, an experienced player often decides matches alone.
What’s wrong with Smurfs? Smurfs ruin the gaming experience for all other players. In most cases, Smurfs are significantly better than all the other players in the match, causing them to feel hopelessly outmatched.
While the Smurf feels like they are mercilessly dominating everyone else, the other 11 players feel that they can’t do anything at all. That’s frustrating.
Why are there so many Smurfs in Overwatch? In Overwatch, it’s particularly easy to create a Smurf account. On PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, it’s even free, so many players have ten or more accounts. However, on PC, one has to buy a new Overwatch version each time.
Another issue is the low entry barrier. To participate in ranked games, you only need an account level of 25. This can be achieved in just a few hours and poses little barrier for experienced players (who want to smurf).
In order for Smurfs not to rise back into their “actual” play area, they often team up to collectively lose some matches. This way, they can stay in a skill range that does not correspond to their actual strength.
This is what fans demand: On Reddit, players demand that Blizzard takes action against Smurf accounts. If there are no penalties for this, then at least the required account level should be significantly raised.
Instead of 25, players wish for a raise to 50 or even 75. A corresponding suggestion has received nearly 8,000 upvotes. Then Smurfs would have to invest significantly more time and might be deterred.
How do you feel about Smurfs in Overwatch? Do they bother you as much? Or have you not had any problems with them so far?

A player posted his latest personal achievement in Path of Exile . He shows his inventory and his collection. It turns out: He is probably the currently richest player in the game when it comes to his items.
This is how much money the player has: The player and Reddit user Angelsergiuboy posted a screenshot of his inventory with 100 “Mirror of Kalandra”. He is the first player to document owning so many copies of the item.
The mirror is currently the rarest and most valuable item in the game. On some pages, its value is estimated to be around €165. With his number of mirrors, the player would have €16,500 available if he were to sell them.
That is enough to buy a brand new VW Polo directly from the manufacturer (approx. €14,300) or to go to the cinema about 800 times.
What makes the mirrors so valuable? The mirrors have a special property. They can duplicate any non-unique and non-corrupted item. They are also a thousand times rarer than “Exalted Orbs”, which is why many players may spend hundreds of hours without finding a single mirror.
Is his inventory really worth that much? The price that the mirrors are worth fluctuates and depends on which offer is used as a basis. Additionally, Angelsergiuboy possesses his collection of 100 mirrors in the Standard league.
In this league, all league characters end up after the season and all hardcore characters after their death. The economy here is rather uninteresting for many high-end players who might be interested in the mirrors. They focus more on the current league.
However, he can exchange his mirrors on the official trading site for other valuable items that might bring him even more.
Can he exchange that for real money? Trading with real money is prohibited in Path of Exile. Therefore, even if he finds a buyer in the league, Angelsergiuboy would still have a problem getting the money.
However, it remains a great achievement to acquire so many copies of the rarest item that many do not even get to see. His next goal is now a full stack of 144 mirrors.
