With the new patches, skins and other cosmetics are also leaked in Fortnite. We will now show you outfits that have been found but have never been available in the shop.
These skins are still missing: Out of the found skins, 8 are currently missing. The highlight is probably the Balloon Head skin and the two Plastic Soldiers.
Breakpoint
These gliders are still unreleased: 5 gliders have not yet been released. Some of these may also correspond to the missing skins.
Signal Jammer
This glider is still missing: In Patch 9.20, only one glider was found. This is still missing. It will surely belong to the Balloon Head skin.
These pickaxes are missing: All 4 picks found in the last patch are still missing now. Some of these also correspond to the missing skins.
The missing emotes and wraps: In Patch 9.20, various variations were also found. So far, only few have come into the game. We will show you what is still missing.
In addition to the 2 missing emotes, there are also these 4 wraps not yet available:
When will the cosmetics be released? This is still not known. A large part of the outfits will probably be released this week.
This is important about the outfits: These are purely cosmetic outfits. You do not get any advantages in combat through the skins, you just look different.
Have you heard about this nasty bug for Nintendo Switch players?
In FIFA 19 the cards of TOTW 39 are now known. Which players are represented in the Team of the Week, you can find out here.
This is the Team of the Week: EA Sports releases the Team of the Week every week. The players in this team are selected by EA because they have performed well in real football. This results in improved Inform cards.
This week, players in their national games have also been considered.
The best cards of TOTW 39: The card with the highest rating this week is Sergio Ramos (93). Next come Kimmich with 89 points and Perisic and Arnautovic with 87 each.
All cards in TOTW 39
TOTW 39 – Starting XI
TOTW 39 – Starting XI
TOTW 39 – Substitutes
TOTW 39 – Substitutes
The new Kimmich card: Joshua Kimmich receives his third Inform card in FUT 19 this week. The special thing this time, his new card receives a position change from RB to CDM.
Kimmich 3rd Inform (89)
These were the predictions for TOTW 39
This week, the predictions for TOTW 39 also include players who performed well for their national teams over the weekend. These players are considered because EA has often integrated performances from international matches into the Team of the Week in the past.
What are TOTW predictions? The predictions help to speculate which players might make it into EA’s Team of the Week. The community creates these predictions and often guesses many players correctly.
How long will the TOTW continue? So far, EA has not announced how long the TOTW will continue in FUT 19. It can only be speculated that the Team of the Week will be discontinued in the coming weeks.
That would be plausible since most leagues have already stopped their match operations.
In The Division 2 , developer Massive has now presented the next two operations. They will come with “Episode 1 – Washington Outskirts,” probably this summer. The release of the free DLC is expected in July or August 2019 on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
But there were also concrete announcements for the near future. Episode 1, the first of three planned DLCs, takes us to the “Outskirts” of Washington, to the outskirts of the city. In German, this has been somewhat misleadingly translated as “Vorstädte,” as the missions apparently take place outdoors, in the wilderness.
Where to next in The Division 2? With “Episode 1,” players will head into the vicinity of Washington:
one operation leads to the “Manning National” Zoo – here the agents hunt Emeline Shaw, the evil leader of the plague-spreading Outcasts
in Camp White Oak, the Black Tusk have entrenched themselves. The camp is supposed to be located in a picturesque forested area.
Episode 1 is coming soon.
How do you get there? Apparently, the helicopter pilot in front of the White House is key to undertaking the new operations.
What we know about the zoo: Shaw and the Outcasts have retreated to the zoo after their defeat on Roosevelt Island and made the zoo their new headquarters.
It is considered unlikely that they purchased the zoo beforehand.
Emeline Shaw is an asymptomatic carrier of the virus, displaying no signs of the disease herself. Therefore, she could play a crucial role in the story of The Division 2.
In the zoo, the Outcasts have erected barricades, behind which they await the arrival of the agents. Players will encounter several animal species on their way to Shaw, including:
pelicans
crocodiles
and monkeys
What’s special about the setting: The Division 2 is known for realistically recreating locations and fulfilling its educational mission. There will be information panels in the zoo that provide details about the different species.
What we know about the camp: Very little is known about this area. It is said to be particularly picturesque and peaceful, located in the forest, between lakes and hills. The landscape is described as splendid.
The climax of the confrontation with the highly technologically advanced Black Tusk will take place in a wooden hut. That is where the leader resides.
Borderlands 3 introduces a new, useful feature that will please all players with friends. Your mailbox could contain a lot of loot.
In
Borderlands 3, you can delight your fellow players with plenty of loot,
even when they are not currently present. There will be a way to simply send your teammates weapons,
grandees, and other loot by mail. This saves you time
and allows you to make your absent teammates happy when they
log in next time.
How does it work? This is fundamentally useful for all players who like to maintain a clean inventory and do not want to spend too long on loot they personally can’t use anyway. You just need to briefly visit the mailbox, select the name of the desired friend, and the weapon, grenade mod, or whatever dangerous stuff you found will go directly to your friend.
Sending weapons to friends is quick – they will appreciate it the next time they log into the game!
This is particularly useful, as Borderlands 3 is a loot shooter and it also means that you can’t really use a large portion of the loot yourself because the weapon doesn’t suit your own build or playstyle. But we all have that one friend who is excited about the seventeenth sniper rifle in their collection…
More freedom with loot: Essentially, Borderlands 3 seems to grant players more freedom in distributing and receiving their loot. Players can choose whether they want “personal loot”, which can then only be seen and picked up by them, or whether all players have to share the loot. That was the case in Borderlands 2. There it was common to duel over a weapon in case of a dispute (or alternatively, to be grumpy in a voice chat hours later).
Will you use this feature and send strong weapons to your friends? Or was such a function unnecessary?
In Fortnite Fortbyte #19 has appeared! You will find it in a spaceship-like building when you wear the Vega outfit. We will show you how to solve the challenge.
What kind of challenge is this? Around the byte, there is a riddle that goes as follows: “Accessible with the outfit ‘Vega’ within a spaceship-like building”
South of Shifty Shafts lies the building you are looking for
Fortbyte #19: Use Vega outfit in a spaceship-like building
Here you will find the Fortbyte: The spaceship-like building is located south of Shifty Shafts. There is a structure built with metal that resembles a spaceship. When you are in front of the building, go inside and walk to the left. The byte will be there.
This challenge is also tied to a skin. You will only find the Fortbyte if you wear the Vega outfit. You can obtain it at level 47 of the Battle Pass. Once you have selected it, you can collect the byte as usual.
This is what the building you are looking for looks like
Things to watch out for: At the locations you are looking for, campers are often lying in wait for you, hoping for easy kills. So pay attention to your surroundings to avoid being eliminated before you can get the byte.
This video will help: We will embed a video for you so that you can see the exact location again. This way you won’t miss the byte:

What are Fortbytes anyway? These bytes are electronic puzzle pieces that are hidden all over the map of Fortnite. Every day one more byte is added that you need to search for.
There are a total of 100 bytes in Season 9. If you collect 90 Fortbytes, a special skin will be waiting for you.
Are you still looking for more Fortbytes? We have written a suitable guide for each byte:
The MMORPG classic Tibia now offers fans a new, special outfit. It is a golden armor, but it is extremely expensive.
What is Tibia?Tibia is one of the oldest still active MMORPGs. It was launched in 1997. You create a hero, explore a large fantasy land with friends, fight monsters, complete quests, and improve your hero.
Graphically, the 3D online game cannot keep up with modern competition today, yet Tibia has a very loyal fan base. The community is still active and only two years ago unveiled a 12-year-old secret.
An expensive golden armor
What was announced? The developers have introduced a new outfit for players. It is a golden armor that you can obtain for 500,000,000 gold pieces from King Tibianus, Queen Eloise, and Emperor Kruzak. For an additional 250,000,000 gold pieces, you can also get the matching helmet, and if you spend another 250,000,000 gold, you will receive the boots.
With one billion gold pieces, you are fully equipped in gold.
Included is also a doll, through which you can display the armor in your house.
What is special about it? Through outfits, players individualize their heroes. It is simply part of the MMORPG to buy and collect outfits. However, something like the golden outfit has never existed before. This should be of great interest to Tibia fans.
However, the price is steep. 500,000,000 gold just for the armor and the same amount for the helmet and boots is a lot of money. It is thus the most expensive outfit in the game!
The armor can still be dyed, but only in a few places so that the golden character remains intact.
A pile of money
How does one get so much money? Farming one billion gold in Tibia takes a long time. Completing the daily quest earns you about 2,000 gold.
How many euros would one approximately have to pay for the armor? However, it is possible to buy Tibia coins for real money and trade with them. 250 coins cost around 9 euros. 4,500 coins are about 150 euros.
If you scale this up, you would have to buy about 40,000 coins to reach one billion gold. That would then be about 1,333 euros. That’s a lot of money for an outfit in a game.
What do the players think of the outfit? The golden armor was a suggestion in the MMORPG’s forum. This suggestion was supported by many players. However, now some critical voices are raising their concerns that the price seems a bit too high, as can be read on Reddit.
This year, the latest generation of Pokémon will be released with Pokémon Sword and Shield. There will also be raids, but how do they differ from the raids in Pokémon GO?
What do we know about Sword and Shield? In their latest announcement, Nintendo introduced a raid feature for Sword and Shield. You can therefore use a classic MMO feature in the actual single-player RPG.
Not everything is known about the raids in Sword and Shield yet, but many details are already known. Therefore, it is also possible to draw a comparison with Pokémon GO. Is Sword and Shield worth it for RAID fans of Pokémon GO?
Raids in Comparison – Pokémon GO vs. Sword and Shield
How do raids work in Pokémon GO? The raids in the mobile game are not particularly complex. You search for an arena that is currently hosting a raid and possibly bring along a few players if the raid level is high.
Raids are quite simple in Pokémon GO
In battle, everything runs pretty much the same way. You keep tapping the screen and can perform the particularly strong charge attack with simple tapping. If you are strong enough, the Pokémon is defeated and every participant in the raid can catch the monster.
How do the raids work in Sword and Shield? In Sword and Shield, you will encounter Dynamax Pokémon in the wild area, which you can challenge in a raid with 3 other players. If there aren’t enough players available, the game assigns NPCs to you.
In battle, the Dynamax Pokémon is significantly stronger and can create barriers that you must destroy first. Additionally, the Pokémon can use multiple attacks per round. Once you have defeated the monster, all participants of the raid can catch the Pokémon here as well.
A Dynamax Pokémon as a raid boss
How do the raids differ from one another? In general, it can first be said that the raids in Sword and Shield seem significantly more complex. We present some differences:
In Sword and Shield, Pokémon use barriers for defense
In Sword and Shield, you can request other players for the raid via an in-game function
4 players can participate in the raid in Sword and Shield, while there can be up to 20 players in Pokémon GO
Defeated players can continue to cheer on their teammates and thus support them
In Sword and Shield, Dynamax Pokémon can also change and neutralize the stats and abilities of opponents
In Pokémon GO, you can sometimes complete the raids alone. In Sword and Shield, that does not seem to be the case, as you even get 3 NPCs assigned when not enough other players are there
Is Sword and Shield something for raid fans? If you enjoy raiding in Pokémon GO, you should definitely try it in Sword and Shield as well. However, the battle will be more complex here, and you can’t just do it on the side.
If you love the raids in Pokémon GO, you will also have fun in Sword and Shield
In Sword and Shield, raids are mainly a communal affair, while in Pokémon GO, you can also raid partially alone. However, the advantage in Sword and Shield is that you can also search for other players online. So you are not limited to your local community.
Will you try the new raids in Sword and Shield or would you rather just stick with Pokémon GO?
The shooter Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has set some goals for 2019. So far, Infinity Ward has only talked about the campaign. However, the multiplayer part is said to offer interesting features. First screenshots were shown at E3 2019. They announce the return of the cooperative mode “Spec Ops”.
This is the situation: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has already been officially announced and is also a major topic of discussion in the community. So far, the discussion about the game has only revolved around the “single-player part”, the campaign.
Here, Infinity Ward wants to represent the realistic horror of modern warfare with new radical approaches, where civilians play a role and soldiers do not know who is really a combatant and who is just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
What about the multiplayer? At the moment, there is still little information about the multiplayer.
At E3, they announced the return of the popular “Spec Ops” co-op mode with the Juggernaut. The mode is said to be even more intense than in previous installments.
Further information about Watch Dogs Legion from E3 2019. In the third part of the series, the NPCs are supposed to have a “real life”. It even goes so far that their relatives mourn for them when they die.
What about the NPCs? In Watch Dogs Legion, the NPCs play a very large role. In the third part of the Watch Dogs series, you should be able to recruit absolutely every character in fictional London into your team.
What is special about it? The characters in Watch Dogs Legion are supposed to feel as realistic as possible and are simulated by the game. For example, it could happen that NPCs mourn for other characters if you kill them in the game.
Stephen Tolito from Kotaku is said to have learned that the relatives of NPCs you send over the Jordan in the game even visit the cemetery. After a while, however, these NPCs would start looking for someone new and would begin dating again.

What is Watch Dogs Legion about? London faces destruction in a dystopian future after Brexit, as we already know from the leak prior to E3. The residents are oppressed by a surveillance state that keeps people in check with private military units. In addition, a criminal syndicate has emerged to further abuse the weak.
The hacker group DedSec stands against it and recruits specialists from the masses to build a resistance movement.
Watch Dogs Legion is also supposed to include a co-op mode for four players:
With the weekly reset on June 11, there were issues with the new rewards of Season 7 in Destiny 2 . Bungie responded quickly and has resolved the issues.Werner 99-40 should be worthwhile again.
Five of them can be obtained through the NPC Werner 99-40 (or also Benedict 99-40). He assigns 4 Bounties, all of which are supposed to yield a Powerful Reward. A fifth reward is given once all four of his Bounties have been mastered.
That was the problem: The Bounties are supposed to reset with the weekly reset , so that they can be earned again in a fresh Destiny week.
However, that apparently was not the case yesterday. Players were not rewarded with Powerful loot. There were also fewer Emperor’s Coins than intended – much to the dismay of numerous fans. The coins for upgrading the chalice are highly sought after.
Now the Bounties should once again grant Powerful rewards. However, if you have already completed the bounties and opened the four chests, it seems unfortunately you come up empty-handed.
Were you also affected by this bug? Did you receive the rewards afterwards or did you come up empty-handed? Let us know in the comments.
Apex Legends has quietly changed the rules for the new Top 5 Elite mode. However, almost no players noticed until it was too late. Our author Jürgen also got caught.
This happened to me recently in Apex: I, Jürgen, had a strange experience in Apex Legends yesterday. I qualified in a Top 5 round and was doing well. We had made it to the last 5 squads again and were just about to loot the bodies of the enemies and properly equip ourselves for the final battle.
The death zone was getting closer, but who cares, I was playing as Lifeline and I could easily heal the little zone damage, the safe zone wasn’t far away. My teammates thought the same and continued to loot calmly.
I was still in the inventory trying to make room for ammunition, when suddenly I was dead. And not just me, my whole squad died instantly and we were out of the race! What the hell happened?
Update quietly changes zone damage
What has the update done? The cause of our surprising deaths was the death zone we stood in for a brief moment. It normally does little damage, so players don’t take it too seriously and often linger there to collect valuable loot.
Due to a small update before the latest mini patch, the zone damage in Elite mode was increased immensely. Now, just a few seconds are enough to kill a player. This has happened not only to me; a player on Reddit recorded the drastic reduction from 12 to 3 squads in a video.
How the community reacts: All of this is bad enough, but the issue with the zone damage was not mentioned in any patch notes, as the update had already come on June 10th. Therefore, some players are seriously upset about it. Others, however, defend the new mechanic on Reddit:
“If you can’t handle the elite zone, just play the normal mode!”
“Anyone who complains because the zone is deadly is a damn idiot!”
“You do realize that your character even warns you and a timer counts down? It’s not like the damn thing is hiding!”
How the new zone changes the game: But one thing is certain. If the zone stays as it is now, it will radically change the game in Elite mode. Until now, you only had to fear the zone when you were really far from the safe zone. Now, however, you have to be extra careful and keep moving constantly. Casual looting and camping are no longer an option!
Jürgen’s conclusion: As shocked as I was at first, I actually like the new zone rule now. Especially at the beginning of my battle royale phase, I had enormous respect for the zone and fled immediately when it approached. That brought adrenaline and excitement to the game.
Later, I realized “Hey, this thing doesn’t do any damage, so I don’t have to rush!”. But that took the excitement out of the game again. An ultra-deadly zone, from which players flee in droves, and which mercilessly eliminates careless or overly greedy people, fits very well in a battle royale game where the ultimate survival is at stake.
As far as I’m concerned, it can stay like this, even in the regular mode.
At the edge of the EA Play event, Laura Miele gave an interview; she is the “Chief Studios Officer” at EA. She talks about the launch of Anthem and Apex Legends – and has a clear favorite. Miele explains what went wrong with Anthem: It should have been playable much earlier for internal testing.
Who is speaking? It is Laura Miele. She has been with Electronic Arts for 23 years and is currently responsible for what the dozens of development studios of EA around the world are doing, from Respawn to DICE to BioWare.
Thus, in her first 100 days in the new job, she traveled to more than 20 studios around the world and exchanged ideas with them.
Apex Legends was released in February 2019 and had amazing success.
Respawn played Apex Legends for 18 months
This is why Apex Legends did so well: Miele is a strong advocate for teams to intensely play their game themselves before releasing it. According to this method, she would have worked earlier at Westwood.
There, they would stop working every day at 4 PM and play their own game for a few hours, Miele recounts.
At Respawn, they followed the same approach with Apex Legends. The head there, Vince Zampella, is a strong proponent of getting a game up and running and playable as early as possible.
Therefore, the team would have played Apex Legends for about 18 months before it was released. This shows discipline and a great approach. This is how games become great.
The feedback from real gameplay with real players would influence every design decision.
This is the big lesson from the success of Apex Legends. While Apex Legends offers “only” one map with 8 legends and one mode, and Anthem had completely different dimensions, EA must learn from the principle applied with Apex Legends.
Like previous MMOs, they want to conduct betas; they are currently working on this.
The challenge with a game like Anthem is that it goes to market and competes against games that have been supported for years and offer an incredible amount of content.
These games have already been polished and perfected according to player feedback. Therefore, it is incredibly important for EA to get early feedback from its players.
In Marvel’s Avengers, not every superhero has to be the same. You get several options to customize the heroes to your liking. There are skill trees for each hero.
In Marvel’s Avengers, you don’t play your own created characters, but the predefined heroes from the Marvel universe.
But what will it look like when there are 20 Iron Men on one screen? Similar difficulties were already experienced by “Marvel Heroes”, an action MMO, where everyone was also playing as superheroes or supervillains.
In the end, there were many heroes and villains to choose from – in the new Marvel’s Avengers, there are supposed to be only 5. How does Square Enix prevent the attack of the clone troopers?
That’s the solution:
Each hero has abilities that you already know from the movies and comics of the Avengers universe. But the customization of the heroes goes further. With skill trees, you adjust the characters to your vision.
What do we know about the skill trees? At the launch of the game in May 2020, 5 heroes will be available: Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, Black Widow, and Thor. Later, more superheroes will be added for free. Journalists have already had the chance to play Marvel’s Avengers behind closed doors.
As Gameinformer reports, each hero in the game has their own skill tree.
“They [the heroes] have a mix of abilities that can be improved throughout the game. When you invest in these heroes, we give you the opportunity to decide how you customize your character’s skill tree,” explains Scot Amos, Studio Head of Crystal Dynamics, in an interview.
By “investing”, he likely means the time you put into the heroes. Amos further explains: “When you play certain heroes, they will level up and you can decide which skills they learn.”
This should allow for many different types of heroes: “Your Widow can be different from my Widow,” says Amos.
How exactly the skill trees will look is still unclear. The closer the release gets, the more information should become available about the game.
How do the heroes differ? Besides the skill trees, there are further customization options for the heroes.
The appearance and armor can differ from hero to hero. In the trailer, you could see something like a white Iron Man suit. That seems to be one of the visual customizations that can be unlocked throughout the game.
White instead of red – An unlockable cosmetic for Iron Man?
Sounds like familiar gameplay mechanics that you also find in games like Diablo. While multiple people can play the same class there, everyone can individually customize the appearance, skills, and armor.
Pokémon GO has announced the global challenges and teases that another reward is coming for the players. But what could it be?
What does Niantic say? In their big announcement about the global challenges surrounding the GO Fests, the developers also mention additional bonuses that await us after completing all challenges.
It states: “If you reach all goals by the end of the summer, even more bonuses await you!” This suggests to many players another Ultra Bonus, similar to what we saw last year.
What about this summer? While Niantic hasn’t called it an Ultra Bonus yet, their announcement of additional bonuses at the end of the summer seems quite clear.
Many players have already made speculations about what to expect this summer.
The legendary feline Pokémon will come as Shiny, but what is the Ultra Bonus?
This is what players suspect: The most popular theory is that they will align the Ultra Bonus in 2019 with last year. Deoxys could become available in regular raids and regional Pokémon from the 2nd generation could hatch from 7 km eggs.
Other players speculate that at the end of the summer, Shiny Rayquaza will finally make its debut. This Pokémon is a favorite among many players and would certainly create huge hype upon its introduction.
Could Shiny Rayquaza finally come?
Other players, on the other hand, hope for a return of Mewtwo. The Pokémon has not been catchable since the Ultra Bonus in 2018. A return after a year would indeed be conceivable. Recently, a hint about new forms of Mewtwo was found in the code. Perhaps this form will also be presented there.
What do you think? What kind of Ultra Bonus could come our way this year?
Phantasy Star Online 2 is coming to the West. Microsoft announced this at the E3 press conference. Many MMORPG fans are excited, but what kind of game is it and why is it so well received?
PSO2 has a long history: Phantasy Star Online 2 is based on the long-lasting Phantasy Star series. The first game in the series was released in 1987 for the Sega Master System. The early games were single-player JRPGs that combined fantasy with science fiction elements.
Only in 2000 was the first Phantasy Star Online released for the Sega Dreamcast, followed by the sequel Phantasy Star Online 2 for PC in 2012. The game is now also available for PS Vita, as a mobile game, for PS4, and for Nintendo Switch, with an Xbox version following next year. However, this MMORPG is currently only available in Japan. A release in the USA and Europe was planned for a long time, was repeatedly postponed, and was eventually abandoned by Sega in 2017.
At E3 2019, Microsoft announced that the MMORPG would be released in 2020 at least in the USA for Xbox One and PC.

What is Phantasy Star Online 2? Basically, it is a classic MMORPG that relies on the unique features of the Phantasy Star series – namely mixing science fiction with fantasy.
You create a hero from the races Human, Newman (biologically engineered elves), CAST (androids), and Deuman (a kind of mutant)
You choose one of the classes Hunter, Ranger, Force, Braver, Bouncer, Challenger, Fighter, Gunner, and Techer
You can also change your class
The battles are active and quite fast-paced. You have to actively strike to hit enemies and continuously move during fights
Combos are important
You can quickly switch between three equipped weapons
You complete quests that take you to diverse areas
You have a companion called a Mag, a type of pet. Mags support you and you can improve them over time
PvP is possible in arenas
Your hero can be customized according to your preferences
Why are so many excited about the release? On one hand, the current outlook for the release of new MMORPGs is not great. Even when an online RPG comes out, its chances are often not very good, as can be seen with Bless. So when an MMORPG actually hits the market, fans are happy to have something new to play.
Phantasy Star Online 2 has been very successful in Japan since 2012. It is among the most popular online role-playing games in the country. This alone shows that something is coming that could also be well received in the West.
Source: Bumped.org
Fast action paired with classic MMORPG
What do Japanese players like about the MMORPG? Phantasy Star Online is of course based on a successful and classic game series. Phantasy Star does not quite have the status of Final Fantasy, but it comes pretty close. Accordingly, many fans of the series play the MMORPG.
Furthermore, the combat system is convincing. It is an action-packed, active system that also runs quite fast. You really feel like you are in an action battle. This contrasts with Final Fantasy 14, which has a more classic and “slower” combat system.
The pacing is right as well. Phantasy Star Online 2 plays quite fluidly and quickly. This also applies to the animations. Additionally, it features anime graphics, which are very well received in Japan. Moreover, almost every NPC has voice acting, making the MMORPG feel like a playable anime.
And of course, the MMORPG offers plenty of content. After all, it has been running for about seven years. During this time, it has continually been expanded with new content, giving players plenty to do.
For many, Phantasy Star Online 2 is the counterpart to Final Fantasy 14. While it is basically also an MMORPG, it plays differently due to the focus on action and the sci-fi scenario.
Will it also come to Europe? Currently, Phantasy Star Online 2 is only announced for the USA. However, with this announcement, the chances for a release in Europe increase. Hope dies last.
A new, crazy Overwatch mode is exciting fans. Apparently, the shooter is also perfect for brutal brawling!
The community continues to create new game modes for Overwatch in the workshop. After we had already presented some highlights in the past weeks, like UNO, another hit was introduced in the last few days. The “OverFighter” mode turns Overwatch into a fighting game reminiscent of Tekken, Soul Calibur, or Mortal Kombat.
What is OverFighter? In OverFighter, the two players choose from one of 5 heroes and then engage in a solid semi-2D battle. Each character has different attacks and abilities that come into play during the duel. The following characters are available for selection:
Doomfist
Reinhardt
Winston
Genji
Torbjörn

Special moves for some characters: Particularly cool is the fact that there are even some special attacks that require specific combinations of keys to trigger. For example, Doomfist can launch a fireball at the opponent using “Back + Jump + Primary Fire”.
Besides that, the mode has taken a lot from fighting games. Characters can all sprint, and there are even “Finishing Moves,” the so-called Fatality attacks, with which weak opponents can be instantly eliminated.
The author DarwinStreams has come up with some good ideas and is still working on the mode to add more abilities and fix bugs.
Here’s how you can play it yourself: To use the mode, simply enter the following code in the workshop: Z5XK2.
However, please note that the mode only works correctly with 2 players. If you want to start the game alone, it won’t work. So invite a friend to give him a proper (virtual) beating.
What do you think of this workshop mode in Overwatch? Is it cool what the community is making out of the new feature? Or are you waiting for new “official” content?
The true highlight of the next patch of Dead by Daylight is some cosmetic items. Finally, there is new stuff for licensed characters!
The next patch of Dead by Daylight is not far away. Ghost Face is set to appear next week. However, the killer has already fallen from grace because in his current form, Ghost Face is far too weak. Players are much more interested in other changes that the patch will bring: skins for The Pig and David Tapp.
For many fans of Dead by Daylight, it is a small sensation that Amanda Young and David Tapp will receive new skins in the upcoming patch. This is a novelty, as licensed characters typically do not receive new cosmetics after their release.
New skins for Amanda and David: There are the following two skins for “The Pig”. The “Test Subject” outfit is the clothing that Amanda Young wears in the first SAW movie when she becomes a victim of Jigsaw and undergoes a test.
Her leather outfit seems to have no direct reference to the films at first glance, but it could simply be “casual wear” of the character in daily life.
David Tapp, who was the lead investigator in the Saw murders at the beginning, is also getting new outfits. Once as a tough cop:
And another outfit titled “Undercover”, which is what he wears for disguise in daily life.
More skins for other characters: In addition, there are a bunch of other skins for killers and survivors that are also worth a look.
The Spirit, for example, receives a creepy scarecrow skin:
The Huntress receives the “Cold Wasteland Survivor” outfit:
Feng Min, on the other hand, throws herself into a rather pink outfit:
Dwight Fairfield seemingly had extreme hobbies, as his “Chute Malfunction” skin presents him looking quite disheveled and disorganized. His sweater suggests that he only wanted to deliver pizza with the parachute.
What has been the problem so far? Licensed characters such as The Pig Amanda Young and David Tapp from “Saw” are usually bound by clear agreements and contracts. This means that the developers of Dead by Daylight can only represent and show the characters in a very specific manner – including cosmetic modifications. After all, the rights holders do not want their characters to be “made fun of” or portrayed inappropriately.
New deals with the rights holders? The fact that there will now be new cosmetic items for both characters apparently means that the developers were able to strike a new deal. Whether other rights holders will follow suit and if we can expect new visual adjustments for Freddy Krueger (Nightmare), Quentin, Michael Myers (The Shape), or Laurie Strode remains to be seen.
When will the cosmetics be released? As is common with Dead by Daylight, cosmetic items will not be available directly at the launch of the patch. Instead, they will be gradually released over the coming weeks.
Which of these cosmetics is your highlight? Which skin are you particularly looking forward to?
Early in the history of the online shooter Fortnite there was a skin that reminded many of Keanu Reeves as John Wick. That’s why kids approached the actor and called him “Fortnite Guy,” says Donald Mustard, the Creative Director at Epic.
On February 22, Season 3 started with a Battle Pass. The highest reward there, which players had to grind for, was the “Reaper” skin at level 100.
For many, he looked like “John Wick,” the action role played by Keanu Reeves that revitalized his somewhat stagnant career in 2014.
This is what was happening to Keanu Reeves at the time: The Creative Director of Fortnite, Donald Mustard, recounts on the sidelines of E3 2019, how Keanu Reeves was faring at that time.
Because suddenly kids approached him. Where they used to shout “Hey, you are Neo” or “Hey, you are Wick!”, they now shouted: “Fortnite Guy! Fortnite Guy!”
Reeves was puzzled: “What is this Fortnite thing?”
Then he researched and said, “Hey, he doesn’t even look like me. We need to get this right.”

Ultimately, that’s how the “real” John Wick skin for Fortnite was created, which came to Fortnite during an event in May 2019 with the release of “John Wick 3”. Reeves and Mustard met, exchanged ideas, and then decided to create this “John Wick” skin, Mustard recounts.
Was the “Reaper Skin” a copy? Mustard says it was not actually planned for the Reaper skin to look like John Wick. They wanted to create a “Man in Black” who is “super awesome” and ended up with that.
What is the story behind this? This is an anecdote that Mustard shares here. It shows how popular Fortnite is in pop culture and provides a nice context for how the “John Wick” event came to be.
Fortnite is so popular that even a superstar like Keanu Reeves cannot escape the phenomenon and suddenly transitions from Neo and John Wick to a “Fortnite skin”.
It also casts Fortnite in a positive light. It is already known, and surely no coincidence, that many popular skins designed by Epic have clear pop culture references.
But as long as Keanu Reeves does not refute the story, it stands as is.
This week, the quest for the exotic rocket launcher Truth is live in Destiny 2. The new weapon is tied to a long quest line. Strangely, this can be shortened, as players have discovered.
What is Truth? Truth is a new exotic rocket launcher that players can earn again in the Season of Opulence. The weapon is tied to a simple but lengthy quest line, which came into the game this week with the reset.
As players have found out, a complex quest step can be shortened. Guardians assume it might be a bug or glitch, but are not quite sure.
The object of desire: The exotic rocket launcher Truth in Destiny 2.
How does the shortcut work? After the first few quest steps for Truth, it is the players’ task to decode four map fragments. To do this, Guardians must follow the clues and visit a series of planets.
However, some of the fragments also appear at Petra Venj in the Dreaming City under “Abandoned Quests”. The reason for this is unclear. However, players assume that one must have found at least one map fragment themselves for the other pieces to appear in Petra’s inventory, which can then be collected from her.
Some of the fragments can be found at Petra Venj
This allows the quest to be shortened significantly. However, it seems to be a bug or glitch. Bungie might fix this error quickly.
What does the quest usually look like? You receive the quest for Truth when you visit the Menagerie this week. The quest line requires a total of six different steps, which are not difficult, but incredibly time-consuming.

Availability:
epic, legendary
Damage:
67, 70
Ammunition:
rockets
What’s being removed? Nothing, the new weapon has been added, neither the Boom Bow nor the regular grenade launcher has been removed from the game.
Weapon Changes – Storm Flip: The Storm Flip now deals a constant 5 damage per second, no longer the damage based on the current storm strength. This is to prevent players from always hoarding it until the finale and to encourage its use during regular matches more often.
New Limited-Time Game Mode:
The following modes are temporarily available in the game:
One Shot (Duo): Here you have only 50 health and low gravity. There are only bandages as healing items and exclusively sniper weapons.
Horde Rush: Here you face the non-zombies, which reappear. This time you must secure defense points against the monsters and earn points by eliminations. There will also be bosses and you will constantly change position to defend new points. The mode will come to the servers on June 13, 2019.
Gameplay Changes and Bug Fixes: Among other things, the following things have been adjusted:
Shield potions are now more frequently found.
You now find more shotguns.
There are now more epic and legendary infantry rifles, but slightly fewer common assault rifles.
Changes in Creative Mode:
You will also get the proximity grenade launcher here along with new building parts, including dinos!
