The raid from The Division 2 is particularly brutal, especially on consoles. Now Xbox players have completed Phase 1 in just 4 minutes, which normally takes others hours. The video of it is now making the rounds.
How did they manage that? Based on the video published by the YouTube channel Born 2 Game, it can be inferred how important the precise coordination between the individual team members is.
Everyone in the team probably had a fixed role that they had to fulfill throughout the entire round. According to the description, the 8-player team consists of commentators and owners of the channel who had agreed to raid together.
Here you can watch the video of how Boomer is taken down:

It may look easy, but it cost quite a bit of sweat and nerves, as the description suggests. The relieved reactions of the team members at the end also hint at a test of patience. Apparently, they didn’t even think they would get that far.
Only 4 minutes for Boomer – on Xbox One
Why is this so impressive? As mentioned above, the raid on PS4 and Xbox One is considered significantly harder than on PC.
The biggest difference is known to be in the controls. Mouse and keyboard are superior, even in The Division 1 there were some differences in difficulty between consoles and PC
This was also evident during the raid’s release days. It was completed on PC after only 5 hours, whereas it seemed impossible for some on consoles
Nevertheless, there are ongoing discussions about possible adjustments for the console version of the raid. Many players would like this, as they feel disadvantaged on PS4/Xbox One.
Boomer is quite a hefty tank, who can also take a lot.
Especially the first boss, Boomer, has drawn quite a bit of hate. Many need several hours to get through the first phase. Some even reported 30 hours or more – just for the first boss!
What do you think of the team’s performance? Feel free to share your opinion in the comments. If you’re looking for tips on the 1st raid boss, check out our guide:
On June 14, 2019, a new set for Magic the Gathering called “Modern Horizons” will be released. In collaboration with Wizards of the Coast, we present to you for the first time worldwide a new preview card from the upcoming set.
What kind of card is this? The card is named “Geist der Zwischenwelt” and is known in English as “Nether Spirit”. Here is the card:
What is special about the card? Old Magic veterans might think that this card seems familiar. This feeling is not wrong.
“Geist der Zwischenwelt” is a reprintfrom the set Mercadian Masques from 1999. In the tournament format “Modern”, this set is currently not legal. It can only be played in Legacy tournaments. With the reprint of “Geist der Zwischenwelt”, it will now be legal in Modern tournaments.
What does that mean? Since Magic is a very old game, there are many sets and therefore many cards that can be combined into a deck. To avoid overwhelming newcomers, there are different tournament formats that limit deck construction accordingly:
Standard: always only includes the current sets released in the last two years. This means that when a set becomes too old, it is removed from the tournament format.
Modern: includes all cards since the 8th Edition. Building decks from this format is very expensive, as many cards are quite old and since they are not reprinted, they also increase in price.
Legacy: includes all Magic cards since the very first set. Building decks for this format is almost unaffordable and costs several thousand euros, as individual cards have become incredibly expensive.
Modern Horizons is a new set, but starting from its release, it cannot be played in Standard; it is only relevant for Modern and Legacy. Thus, the “Geist der Zwischenwelt” enters the Modern tournament format.
Here you can take a look at the old version of “Geist der Zwischenwelt”:
What can the card do? The description of “Geist der Zwischenwelt” reads:
“At the beginning of your upkeep, if Nether Spirit is the only creature card in your graveyard, you may return Nether Spirit to the battlefield.”
How does the ability of the card affect the game? The creature has the ability to come back to the game repeatedly when it dies or is destroyed. In the past, it was played in a deck that made the opponent defenseless by destroying lands. Now, players struck mercilessly with the “Geist der Zwischenwelt” since it is not easily destroyed due to its ability.
This deck type is called “Nether-Go”. With the reprint of the card, this is a possibility that we might see this deck type again in Modern tournament formats. Those who want to learn more about the “Nether-Go” deck can read this forum post on mtgsalvation.com by user ForceKin.
Modern Horizons will be the new set in Magic the Gathering.
What you need to know about Modern Horizons
When is the release of the set? Modern Horizons will be released on June 14.
What does the set contain? In total, there are 254 cards. The set includes 209 new cards that will provide new impulses in the Modern format. Additionally, there are reprints of cards that were only legal in the Legacy format.
How to get the set early: You can participate in a pre-release event for Modern Horizons. The pre-release weekend runs from June 8 to 9, with events taking place in numerous local game stores. There, you can participate in tournaments and purchase special booster packs that contain cards from the new set.
Watch a live analysis of the card today on MAX
What happens in the live stream? Every Tuesday at 7 PM, there is the show “Magic Nights” on our streaming channel MAX (Monsters and Explosions). Here, especially the Commander mode of Magic is played. Multiple players can compete against each other, and the mode has its own rules.
Today, Stefan Seiler is a guest, who has been actively participating in tournaments and helped create this post. Stefan is a colleague you might know from our sister site GameStar.de. At the beginning of the stream, there will be an analysis of “Geist der Zwischenwelt”. It’s worth tuning in!
When is the stream? Today, May 28, at 7 PM.

What is going on with the new MMORPGs Camelot Unchained, Chronicles of Elyria, and Crowfall in 2019? We take a look at why we hear so little from the games at the moment and what their future looks like. After all, all three online role-playing games were quite prominent at the start of their crowdfunding campaigns.
Many MMORPG fans are looking forward to Camelot Unchained, Chronicles of Elyria, and Crowfall, and all games were significantly presented and advertised years ago. After all, they were seeking the support of fans for their respective crowdfunding campaigns.
But in recent years and months, we hear less and less about the three games outside of their closest fan circles. What is going on?
Camelot Unchained
What is Camelot Unchained? The MMORPG by Mark Jacobs aims to be a spiritual successor to Dark Age of Camelot. PvP battles between three factions are at the forefront. PvE plays a minor role.
You join one of three factions
With your hero, you participate in massive battles
Sieges play a significant role
Castles can be destroyed
You develop your character through a skill system
PvP is the focus of the MMORPG
What is the status of the game? The development of Camelot Unchained is progressing slowly but steadily. The developers want to do it right, which is why they are not hesitant to swap out complete game systems. This has happened with the skill system, for example.
The MMORPG is currently in the beta phase, during which the fundamental systems and the sieges are being tested. It is important that as many players as possible can participate in the battles without the performance dropping.
Recently, the new skill system and an updated UI were presented. Work on the MMORPG is progressing – just a bit slower than expected.
Funding Relieves Pressure
How was the game presented back then? Camelot Unchained was presented shortly before Christmas 2012 by Mark Jacobs with a teaser as a spiritual successor to the cult MMORPG Dark Age of Camelot. The response was very positive. Thus, the Kickstarter campaign in April 2013 was successful.
At that time, there was a lot of buzz about the game. Not only the concept was presented, but also the classes were gradually introduced. The developers regularly reported from internal tests, discussed the individual systems, and interacted a lot with the community. Videos of massive battles were shown.
All of that made people eager to finally be able to play themselves. Since the start of the beta, this has changed somewhat.
Why do we hear so little about the game currently? The developers are in the optimization phase and are working through the feedback from beta testers.
Basically, they are preparing for the upcoming testing phases and the release of the MMORPG.
For Camelot Unchained, it is no longer as important, as it was at the beginning, to stir up publicity – since funding has been secured through external financing since January 2018. Back then, the MMORPG received a funding boost of $7.5 million.
How safe is a release? A release is actually considered very safe. Camelot Unchained has not only been financed through a crowdfunding campaign but has also received additional funds from investors. Designer Mark Jacobs is also contributing privately.
When will the game be released? It is unlikely that the MMORPG will be released in 2019. A release sometime in 2020 seems more realistic.
What will Camelot Unchained be at best? Ideally, we expect an exciting PvP MMORPG in the style of Dark Age of Camelot, where we can engage in massive battles. This would provide fans of DAoC with a new, modern home.
In light of the big reveal of the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, the developers have switched off the lights. The game’s social media channels are black and dark. Does this indicate a reboot of the series?
What has happened to Call of Duty? Anyone who visited the Call of Duty Instagram account since May 28, 2019, would see only black. Because at least on Instagram, all images have been temporarily removed. They must have done a thorough cleanup.
Even the logo of the channel – and also on the other social media accounts like Twitter or Facebook, there is now a simple black background with the plain words “Call of Duty” in front. Otherwise, there is only darkness on the channel.
This is what it currently looks like on Instagram for CoD.
A hint at a reboot of the series?
What could be behind the action of the CoD developers? Traditionally, a new Call of Duty is released every year, and in May they are often teased for the first time. However, we know almost nothing about the new Call of Duty.
The simple look fits with the assumption that the developers want to focus again on the origins of the series. Because after the hated sci-fi CoD “Infinite Warfare”, they wanted to return to the roots of the series. That’s why CoD was set in World War II again in 2017.
With the minimalist design and the cleaned-up social media accounts, the developers may be signaling that the new CoD will be a classic Call of Duty, without frills and fluff, but with good old shooter action in the CoD flair.
What is your opinion on the actions of the Call of Duty creators? A good hint at the new direction of the series? Or do you want to finally see something tangible about the new game?
At least the new CoD game is supposed to shock and come across controversially.
Warframe regularly introduces new Warframes into the game. In the last Dev Stream, a new Warframe was presented that stands out due to its corpulence. This is well-received by many players.
The titular Warframes are – in simplified terms – combat suits that you select before missions in the game, which then represent something akin to classes and each have their unique abilities and stats.
Which Warframe is it about? New Warframes are regularly introduced into the game, and most recently, the developers announced in Dev Stream 128 a Warframe with unusual proportions. The “Oni Frame” is conceptually intended to resemble a Japanese ogre (Oni).

Therefore, it is large and especially very corpulent. Quickly, it earned the nickname “Fat Frame” in the chat and forum. This is somewhat unusual, as most Warframes – with the exception of rare massive frames like Hildryn – come across as agile space ninjas and the new “chubby one” stands out from the crowd.
What can the fat Warframe do? The abilities of the fat frame are said by the developers to be entirely about “eating”. He can swallow everything, damage, items, and even enemies! He simply sucks them into his “Void stomach”.
This is what the fat Warframe looks like.
A developer jokingly remarked, “We wanted an Oni, but someone turned it into a Kirby!” They also joked about new “jiggly animations” and corresponding physics effects.
It seems that the “Fat Frame” will be a kind of tank and supporter that sucks things in and will likely spit them out later.
“Finally, a Warframe that looks like me!”
This is how fans are reacting: The majority of fans in the Warframe forum have responded very positively to the new Warframe. They praise the unusual design and are happy that Warframe doesn’t only use slim and athletic body shapes for its combat suits:
“Finally, a Warframe that I can cosplay!”
“I need the frame because I can personally identify with it. It’s a true beauty!”
“I am totally thrilled by the frame because it is so close to my own body shape. I’ve struggled with my weight for most of my life, but seeing a strong character in a game (my favorite game, moreover) who is also overweight makes me very happy.”
“He looks like the fat knight from Dark Souls 3!”
“Shut up and take my Platinum!”
He even gets a kanabo club!
When is the fat Warframe coming? Unfortunately, Digital Extremes hasn’t said anything about that yet. The Fat Frame doesn’t even have a name, though Shrek or Kirby are at the top of the fan lists.
What do you think of the idea of a fat Warframe that devours enemies? Cool idea or does it not fit the game?
In The Division 2 there is an unscheduled server maintenance today. Some fixes are to be deployed that should have come last week. Here is what you need to know about the server downtime today on May 28th.
When will the servers of The Division 2 go offline? The maintenance will take place at 3 PM and is expected to last about 2 hours.
During the maintenance, several bug fixes will be deployed that Massive wanted to bring last week. Apparently, it did not work out as it should.
Now the changes are coming with a bit of a week’s delay. Here are the patch notes.

This will be fixed today: The patch notes are identical to those from last week.
Secret Assignment: Fixes a bug where players could not enter the Nelson Theater to start the secret assignment.
Roosevelt Island Progress Bug: Fixes an issue that could block the ascent to World Tier 5 because players could not complete the Roosevelt base under certain circumstances.
Secret Assignment: Players could fall through the ground off the map during a secret assignment. This should not happen anymore after the maintenance. The specific assignment referred to is not mentioned in the patch notes.
Raid Patch:Players who complete the raid will now receive the patch regardless of whether they complete the raid in one go or not. That was not the case before.
You can also find the patch notes in the Ubisoft forum. Most likely, the fixes will be deployed server-side. You do not need to download a patch for this.
What about the numerous other issues? According to Ubisoft, they want to address these with Title Update 3.1. This update is also supposed to fix the various bugs of the AI.
They are also keeping an eye on the serious armor bug that makes some players nearly invincible under certain circumstances.
As Ubisoft writes in the official forum: “We are looking into armor values that can be incredibly high in certain situations and that is something we want to fix as soon as possible.” However, it is not mentioned when all of this will come.
The armor bug is not the only thing currently concerning some players:
The livestreaming site Twitch.TV is experimenting with streams that can only be viewed if one pays for a subscription. Will this soon be the case for every streamer? We show you what it’s all about.
This is currently causing a stir on Twitch: Yesterday, on May 27th, Twitch apparently tested a feature that can exclude certain viewers from livestreams. A livestream channel was visible on the website that was testing this function.
The channel is called hgg_cheering_test. When visiting the channel, it stated during the livestream “hgg_cheering_test is currently streaming for subscribers only”. There was apparently a time-limited preview and then a Subscribe button through which one can complete a subscription.
Such a paywall function allows streams to be directed only at a very specific target group: paying subscribers. This causes mixed feelings among users of the livestreaming platform.
Will soon every streamer have the chance to exclude viewers who do not pay for their content?
What’s behind the paid feature
This is how users are reacting: The feature has been hotly debated across various social channels. A thread in the subreddit Livestreamfails has so far (May 28th – 10:10 AM) received over 875 comments. Many of them negative:
“Oh man, this is going to be terrible”
“It’s probably in the hands of the streamers to use it. So hold them responsible”
“I have no doubt that everyone who uses this feature (unless it’s for Prime Video, for instance) is shooting themselves in the foot”
“Please enable this feature so I know who I can unfollow”
“I wonder how this will affect clips. Can regular users see clips from sub-only streams?”
A tweet from @StreamerNews pointing to this test stream is very popular on Twitter. A poll was conducted there to see what users think of this feature. The majority of over 9400 votes opted for “bad idea”.
What is the background? There are currently no official statements from Twitch.
The Twitter user @ladyinsanity replied to the tweet from Streamer News. She says, “Definitely an old product that is being revived. I believe it was only used in the past for a handful of eSports events. Doubtful they will integrate this architecture everywhere now. Reactions will determine how Twitch handles it.”

In addition, she notes that the feature probably existed during the StarCraft 2 era during well-known events and leagues such as NASL and MLG.
Why is Twitch testing this feature now? The reason for this test stream is unclear. Some suspect the function could be used again for future eSports streams. But there is no official confirmation for this yet.
The reactions of users are mixed. Many are against such a feature for individual streamers. It would tear apart a streamer’s community if one does not pay. Others are more open to the idea and think that a streamer should decide for themselves.
What do you think of such a feature on Twitch.TV? Okay for eSports events or even for individual streamers?
Patch 8.2 of World of Warcraft is particularly exciting for hunters. They can tame two new, fancy dinosaurs.
The upcoming Patch 8.2 Rise of Azshara has been on the test server (PTR) of World of Warcraft for quite some time now. However, players are still finding small new features and hidden changes that Blizzard has not communicated yet. One of these changes concerns hunters. In Patch 8.2, they can tame two new wild animals that were previously unreachable: the dinosaurs Oondasta and Horridon.
Where can you find Oondasta? Oondasta is a world boss in the “Mists of Pandaria” expansion and can be found on the Isle of Giants. He appears there approximately every 15 minutes, if he is killed (or tamed).
Depending on the server, there may be some competition over this boss, as he drops a mount and various items suitable for transmog. It’s best to tame him on a less populated server or in the early morning hours when few players are around.
Where can you find Horridon? Horridon is a boss in the “Throne of Thunder” raid, also found in Mists of Pandaria. The entrance is on the Isle of Thunder. Since Horridon is a boss within a raid, there is no competition over this boss. You can simply walk in and tame him.
What are the requirements? However, a few requirements must be met to tame the dinos.
To tame Horridon, hunters first need to find a specific book. The “Ancient Tome of Dinomancy” can be dropped by the “Dinomancers of the Zandalari”, who can be found all over the Isle of Giants. At level 120, these opponents are no problem and can be taken down with a maximum of two shots.
Oondasta, on the other hand, counts as a devilsaurs and can therefore only be tamed by Beast Mastery hunters. You need to switch to the correct specialization beforehand if you want to tame this companion.
When will this be possible? Taming the two dinosaurs will be possible with the release of Patch 8.2. There is no specific date yet, but fans have a good theory.
On Thursday, Battlefield 5 is finally getting fresh content – in the form of the new map Mercury. This brings the war to the Mediterranean and lets you fight in a picturesque island setting.
Why should you check it out again? Have you been neglecting Battlefield 5 lately and are waiting for fresh content? Or are you still playing regularly but would be glad if some fresh winds come into the game?
Then you should check out Battlefield 5 again starting May 30th. Because on that day, there will finally be new content. The game will get a new setting – the new Mediterranean map Mercury, which DICE has now extensively presented with a trailer and its own blog. And it is well received; fans are excited about the first images.
Mercury – What’s in the new map of Battlefield 5
This is the setting of the new Mercury map: The setting is based on the historical events surrounding Operation “Mercury” in 1941. It is the first large-scale airborne operation in military history, where German troops captured the Greek island of Crete.
The map is set along the coast of Crete, where British troops must defend against the attacking Germans.
This is how the new map plays: The gameplay on the medium-sized map Mercury primarily emphasizes verticality and asymmetric troop distribution. British troops have tanks, but only a few aircraft available. The Germans, on the other hand, have air superiority over the island.
Fighting occurs between houses in close quarters and at various heights on the numerous rocky slopes of the map, causing the gameplay tempo to vary depending on the combat location. Players can choose to fight as a pilot, tank crew, or infantryman, depending on their preference.
Here you can check out the new map in the video:

How are fans reacting to the new map? In short – many fans are taken with Mercury and excited. The introduction of the new map currently creates a good mood. There is plenty of praise and positive comments on both Reddit and YouTube.
The new map simply looks stunning, and everyone can hardly wait to jump into the battles there, that is the general consensus. It definitely ranks among the best maps of Battlefield 5, according to numerous users.
Moreover, DICE LA is celebrated by fans who were involved in creating this map. The studio from Los Angeles had already “saved” Battlefield 4, and now there is hope that they can turn things around with Battlefield 5 as well.
Many players are still missing Kaumalat in Pokémon GO. We will show you how to get the Pokémon and why you should definitely have it in your collection.
What is Kaumalat? In the latest wave of new Pokémon, Kaumalat and its evolutions also arrived in Pokémon GO. The Pokémon evolves into Knakrack, a strong attacker, with a total of 125 candies.
The Pokémon is only extremely rare, which is why many players still do not have the PokéDex entry. So how do I get Kaumalat?
Finding Kaumalat – How do I get it?
Finding Kaumalat in the wild: The Pokémon itself and its first evolution, Knarksel, can be found in the wild. However, those Pokémon are very rare.
Kaumalat was part of the new wave of Pokémon
Your chances are better in sunny or windy weather. It becomes more prevalent in such weather conditions.
In which egg is Kaumalat? You can also hatch the dragon and ground-type Pokémon. Here’s how to find it in 10km eggs. Make sure that the 10km egg is not too old. Only in eggs that were spun after the release of Kaumalat could the desired Pokémon be contained.
Are there Kaumalat nests? No player has reported a Kaumalat nest yet.
This also seems logical, as there has not yet been any truly rare Pokémon in a nest. Pokémon like Larvitar or Kindwurm also do not appear in any nests.
What do you need Kaumalat for? Knakrack, the evolution of Kaumalat, is one of the best attackers in the game. It reaches almost 4000 CP and its stats are among the top.
Knakrack, the evolution of Kaumalat, is really strong
Thus, Knakrack is the best dragon attacker after Rayquaza and Dialga, and the best ground-type attacker after Groudon. Additionally, due to its good stats, it is a strong all-rounder, being useful against almost everything.

Do you want to defeat Cresselia with just three players? We will tell you how:
Dauntless offers a wide selection of weapons, all of which have their advantages. In our comprehensive Axe Guide, we show you everything you need to know about axes and how to clean up effectively.
[toc]
These are the properties of axes: Axes deal the most damage per hit of all weapons in Dauntless. However, they are correspondingly slow and require good positioning to ensure attacks hit properly.
Axes deal
additional part damage to tails and horns, making these parts easier to obtain from Behemoths with this weapon.
Additionally, the axe deals bonus damage against wounded parts.
What playstyle do axes fit?
Axes are suitable for players who like to play tactically and with foresight rather than reactively, dealing a lot of damage with strong combos and wanting to grow stronger over the course of the hunt.
They are suitable for team play as well as solo hunts. However, they require more practice against tougher opponents compared to faster and more agile weapons.
If you play solo: In the game by yourself, axes serve as all-rounders against most Behemoths. You can stun a Behemoth and they are also well suited for farming certain parts. Due to the high damage, even stronger Behemoths become manageable with a bit of practice.
If you play in a team: If you are with other Slayers, your task is to help the potential hammer carrier in stunning the Behemoth. You interrupt certain attacks while also dealing enormous damage and are responsible for breaking off horns and tails.
Axes are suitable for solo adventures and for groups.
These are the special abilities of the axe
These combos can the axe
Axes have two combos:
Vertical Ripper consists of four vertical attacks, the last of which can be repeated indefinitely
Horizontal Cut consists of four attacks with greater range and more mobility
The first attacks of the combos can be exchanged, with the first and third hits being charged. Charged hits consume more stamina but fill the special bar faster upon hitting.
This is the special ability of the axe
The special ability of the axe consists of two parts:
a special bar that fills up through charged attacks
a special ability that allows you to throw the axe with a cooldown
The first ability you receive is the Ruin Strike. The Ruin Flight serves as both a ranged attack and a buffing mechanic. When the special bar is full, you can use the flight to gain a stack of “Resolve.” “Resolve” increases attack power and can stack up to three times.
Each level permanently enhances your total attack power until the bar expires after a certain period. Using “Ruin Flight” again with a filled bar resets the countdown.
The bar indicates how much your buff is. When it glows, you can rank up with the special ability. The symbol above the Q indicates if the ability is ready.
What does mastery bring?
Every weapon in Dauntless can be mastered. This grants you new abilities and mods that you can use with the weapons. For the axe, you receive:
Level 8 – Unyielding Charge (Ability): Throw the axe and deal damage to enemies along the path. The axe lands there. If the axe hits a Behemoth, “Resolve” is activated and it returns to you.
Level 10 – Light Handle (Mod): You now move faster instead of slower during charged horizontal attacks and consume 50% less stamina
Level 16 – Overloaded Cylinder (Mod): “Resolve” can now stack four times
The other levels reward you with titles, cores, cosmetics, or scrap.
Tips and tricks for the axe
Axes also have some additional mechanics that are useful for fighting Behemoths. If you charge vertical attacks to the third charge level, you gain “Resolve” and the attack cannot be interrupted. If you are hit, you still take damage, but the attack will still go through.
If you charge a horizontal hit instead, you can move slowly during it. This is useful for repositioning.
Only charged hits and their combos fill the special bar. If you finish your combo with repeated vertical hits after charged hits, each of those hits will also fill the bar. More tips and the mechanics in action can be seen from YouTuber RevvyRad:
Queen Azshara is the major boss of Patch 8.2 in World of Warcraft. A first look at the boss fight has already been seen in the PTR.
Currently, the Patch 8.2 Azshara’s Rise is playable on the PTR of World of Warcraft. In addition to the new areas Nazjatar and Mechagon , players can also take a look at the upcoming raid, the Eternal Palace. First impressions of the final boss are also available – and it is none other than Queen Azshara.
Typical Naga fight with many adds: The battles against great leaders of the Naga have a tradition in World of Warcraft. Generally, a main aspect of the fight consists not only of the battle against the boss itself but also of managing the numerous additional enemies that appear during the fight. This will obviously also be the case in the first phase of the fight against Queen Azshara.
A small first impression of the fight is given by this video:

Final boss usually a secret: In many cases, however, Blizzard takes a different approach and does not show the final boss of a raid beforehand on the PTR. Professional guilds and others must then enter the fight completely unprepared. On the other hand, there is often an additional boss phase in the mythic difficulty that is particularly challenging. Whether this will also be the case with Azshara remains to be seen.
Cutscene expected after the fight: It is also expected that there will be a dramatic cutscene after the fight that probably involves the Old God N’Zoth. Traditionally, this is also not revealed on the PTR and is only shown when a guild defeats the boss for the first time on the live server.
Fortnite professionals can win several million dollars in various tournaments. This is also the dream of 15-year-old Brit Benjy “Benjyfishy” Fish. His mother has now taken him out of school and hired him a private tutor so that he has enough time for Fortnite.
What kind of player is he? Benjyfishy may not be a name that most Fortnite fans recognize, but he has gradually worked his way up.
Thus, the 15-year-old has now qualified for both the Solo and Duo competitions at the upcoming World Cup in Fortnite. He will be competing against the really big gamers for several million dollars.
The field of participants in the Fortnite World Cup is exclusive and even star players are not in the competition yet: Only 100 players can qualify for Solo and Duo (50 teams) – and Benjy Fish is already taking up two spots.
Why he was taken out of school
This is how his mother reacted: His mother, who is also his manager, fully supports the 15-year-old. She has now deregistered her son from school so that he can focus more on his gaming career. The Brit was said to be very unfocused and tired at school as Fortnite tournaments often went late into the night.
Instead, Benjyfishy is now being homeschooled. There he learns what would have taken 2 years of school in 3 years. This means he now has more free time, which he can spend on gaming.
What has he won so far? He has already earned a total of 25,000 pounds in prize money. Qualifying for the Fortnite World Cup guarantees the 15-year-old a further $50,000.
Benjy’s trademark – The Fishstick skin
He also owns a YouTube channel with about 150,000 subscribers, and over 120,000 fans follow him on Twitch. This is likely bringing him more money.
What does the boy himself say? For Benjy, a dream is coming true. As he told the British Mirror, he has wanted to be a professional gamer since he was 13.
The boy says he couldn’t believe it when his mother suggested taking him out of school.
Since he was 7 years old, he has been playing Call of Duty on Xbox; in 2018 he switched to Fortnite.
The key moment for Benji was probably when he woke his mother in the middle of the night to tell her he had won 10,000 pounds (11,300€) at an online tournament. Benjy shared this immediately on Snapchat. The next day, his friends congratulated him at school and his music teacher told him that he was already earning more than most staff at the school.
If he actually wins a large sum at the Fortnite World Cup, he wants to buy a house for himself and his mother.
Benjy says his father died of cancer when he was just 8 months old; since then, he and his mother have only rented. A place they could call home would be great. They also live on a small island now, and the internet there is probably not good enough if more people want to watch him play Fortnite.
The Division 2 offers a huge game world set in a part of Washington D.C. It’s not only filled with loads of activities but also numerous street art images. We show you 10 cool graffiti.
Where do the images come from? The many graffiti come from real artists who specialize in street art. Each image comes from a different creator.
The graffiti are spread all over the game world and feature a variety of crazy motifs. We’ve selected some cool ones for you that many of you probably haven’t noticed yet.
This graffiti shows: This three-part graffiti gives an impression of how Washington D.C. has changed due to the downfall.
The first image seems to symbolize the greed that led to the outbreak of the virus. At least, that’s how some characters in the game see it.
The deadly “Dollar Flu” spread around the world quickly via banknotes.
This could represent the second image. In the last graffiti, you can see the devastating effects of the virus and how it brought death and quarantine to people.
The decay of the old
This graffiti shows: This work fits with the story of the previous images. It depicts an overgrown White House being attacked by strange, leaf-like colossi.
It may show the decay that the city has experienced since the collapse. Nature is reclaiming the habitat of humans and is overtaking even the buildings where many of the world’s most powerful people once ruled.
This graffiti shows: The image was shared by Reddit user dynarush_3. It features a very human-like constructed bird, covered from head to toe in tattoos.
Hard to say what the artist wanted to convey with this image.
This graffiti shows: The image features a special version of an Angry Bird. You probably already know the funny birds from the games where you shoot pigs with birds.
The Division 2 seems to have a fondness for birds of all kinds.
The next strange monster
This graffiti shows: The strange image depicts a large, bizarre creature. It has at least six arms, most of which are different from one another. Some of them are tentacles with suckers. Below the “mouth” are two X symbols.
Above the monster is a barely recognizable person apparently holding a fishing rod with bait. The monster reaches out with strange hands for this rod.
Below are some writings, one of which says “RIP THE SYSTEM”, kill the system. The image apparently comes from Brandon Sopinski. On his website, you can find more cool street arts.
This graffiti shows: The earth is female, a tear runs down her cheek. The image is likely a reference to the state of the world. Whether it’s ours or that of the Division universe remains open.
This graffiti shows: This image was created by Reddit user challenged_idiot. It depicts a crazy robo-bird that could also pass for a raven or crow.
Unfortunately, it’s not clear who created this image. Similar to the previous work, the robo-creature has multiple arms. In the center, there is also a similar X symbol.
This graffiti shows: If you haven’t looked closely at the settlements yet, you might have missed some things. Including this huge mural in the campus settlement.
It shows happy children and adults, fitting the atmosphere there. It likely serves as a symbol of hope for the survivors.
Captain America’s evil brother?
This graffiti shows: In this crazy image, a man who looks like a caricature of Marvel’s Captain America rides a strange winged creature with a red mask.
Hanging from one hoof of the creature is a red head of a man wearing glasses and looking rather displeased.
The crazy version of Captain America has drawn a knife and seems to be calling for an attack.
This graffiti shows: For a change, we have a more colorful image here, simply showing random patterns and splashes. It’s easy to overlook as it is hidden on a wall of a building that can only be accessed via a roof.
Even in the predecessor, the game world was filled with cool images. However, it was the snowy New York. Even then, the graffiti were created by street art artists.
Here you can find some graffiti from The Division 1:
If you want to see more from the predecessor, you can also watch this video, which shows many more graffiti.

The new Fortbyte #50 can be found at night at a castle ruin on a mountain near Haunted Hills. In Fortnite: Battle Royale, a new search has begun. We show you the location on the map and in the game so you just have to collect the byte.
Where is the new Fortbyte 50? In the task text of the Fortbytes, the game states that you can find the puzzle piece at night in castle ruins. These ruins are located near Haunted Hills. It is in the northwest of the map, below Junk Junction.
Location of Fortbyte 50 – Search here
We have searched for the puzzle piece and found it in one of the buildings. We will mark the place on the map where you should search.
If you fly from above to this location, you will see an entrance with 2 arches. Land and then go through this right archway. There, just to the left around the corner, you will find Fortbyte 50.
What are the requirements? For this Fortbyte you don’t have to make any special preparations. For Fortbyte number 32, you previously had to unlock a cosmetic item in the Battle Pass. This is not necessary for #50.
However, it is important that it is night in the game when you visit the byte. If it is still light, you can see Fortbyte 50, but you cannot collect it. So you need to consider the time of day.
Video tutorial: To make sure you find Fortbyte #50, we are embedding a video of the location here. This way you can be sure to land in the right ruin.
We have Talion, the new mobile MMORPG from Gamevil, tested. Find out here how the new game feels and what awaits you in it.
What is Talion: Talion is a complex Free2Play mobile MMORPG for iOS and Android, launching on May 28, 2019. You play as a chosen hero who became a “Talion” through the consumption of dragon blood. As a result, you are a kind of super fighter who plays a crucial role in the war between the two warring alliances in the game.
As special features, Talion offers high-quality graphics, complex skills, an extensive editor, and many game modes.
I, Jürgen, have played Talion for a few hours and in the following paragraphs, you will learn what I noticed about Talion.
High-Gloss Graphics and Extensive Editor
This is how the editor works: As soon as I started Talion and chose an alliance, the first major surprise came. The game features a powerful editor. While other mobile MMORPGs usually only offer a choice between three heads and five hairstyles, I can freely express myself in Talion.
Only the gender and the basic body shape (bulky warrior, slim assassin, childlike elf) are determined by the chosen hero class. Within these limits, however, I can freely express myself and even customize the face and body shape.
This ensures that no two characters are alike, even if they belong to the same class.
This is how beautiful Talion is: The impressive presentation continues seamlessly in the game. In a stylishly presented fully-voiced cutscene, I see how my new heroine rushes to her first assignment aboard an airship when suddenly a disaster strikes, and I crash.
Why does Talion look so good? Even after the cutscene, Talion does not skimp on spectacular visuals. Both the landscape and the characters as well as the effects are impressive. Behind it all is the award-winning Unity engine, which has made mobile games increasingly beautiful and spectacular in recent years.
Auto-Grind and Hero Optimization – This is how Talion plays
How does the gameplay work?: From the very beginning, one should be clear that Talion may look like a PC MMO, but it has clearly been developed for the needs of mobile MMORPG players.
So you primarily play in regular PvE in auto-pilot mode. While it can be turned off, it is unnecessary for the usual quests and enemies. Instead, the AI handles most things correctly automatically, and I can watch in awe as my heroine slices through the first hordes of enemies.
This looks cool and both the animations and effects are impressive. Since my fighter is doing everything by herself, I can appreciate the great action and the colorful game world even more.
How much auto-grind is in Talion? However, if anyone thinks that Talion is just mindless auto-grinding, they should reconsider that opinion. Because even if Talion presents no great challenge in regular PvE, it is certainly quite an accomplishment to complete the many instances and challenges in the game with maximum success.
For the higher your rating at the end of a boss fight or an instance, the better your loot. And ultimately, it is really about good loot in Talion.
If you want to achieve the coveted highest rating, you need to optimally combine your skills and dodge attacks. None of this can be done on auto-pilot. Rather, it requires you to step in every now and then.
While the AI executes the automatic attacks, you unleash the best skills yourself and use the time-limited dodge function to avoid the bosses’ special attacks.
What else is there to do besides auto-grind? At least as important as optimal combat choreography is the optimization of your hero. Because only with top gear and good skills can you master the challenges on maximum or succeed in PvP.
You can extensively upgrade and optimize both skills and equipment. So if you enjoy delving into complex systems and creating the ultimate combo, you can spend many hours here.
Talion is by no means a mindless auto-grind game that you can play without significant effort. Rather, you need to engage deeply with the complex theory behind the game mechanics for good performances. Just the selection of your skills requires careful consideration, as you can actively use only 4 skills out of a pool of 14 abilities.
Many attributes can then be combined into even more effective combo chains during combat. For example, by equipping skills that cause bleed on enemies, and then using a skill to finish off the bleeding enemies, dealing extra damage to them.
Talion offers not only skills and gear but also other methods for optimization; even titles and mounts provide various bonuses that enhance your character.
This is how PvE and PvP play out
These game modes are available in Talion for PvE: In addition to the main story, which you complete in quests in the open world, you can try your hand at dungeons and bosses. There, you must defeat a boss or complete a challenge in the shortest time possible. For example, in one instance, there is a treasure goblin that can only be defeated after you take away its shields.
As the ultimate discipline, there are raids in which you not only defeat a particularly tough boss with a team of 50. There is also a PvP component since an opposing player team tries to do the same, and in the end, the team that takes down the boss faster wins.
These game modes are available in Talion for PvP: In PvP, you can also try out several different modes in Talion. There is a 1vs1 and a 5vs5 mode. However, the coolest is the PvP in Talion in the 20vs20 occupation mode.
In this mode, you take on different roles along with your class, such as tank or supporter, and assist your team in a tactically demanding battle to capture a fortress and hold against the opponent. By now, you should master the game without auto-pilot; otherwise, your opponents will stomp you.
Conclusion – Full-fledged Mobile MMORPG
At first glance, Talion seems like a simple auto-grinder, but that is deceiving. Because behind the wonderful graphics, there lies complex gameplay that you must immerse yourself in to fully grasp and utilize it. Talion is thus not a “mobile MMORPG for a quick break.”
Just the graphics are unmatched in mobile games, and the story involving mystical dragons and their heirs motivates further play. And anyone who enjoys PvP and prefers to engage personally instead of playing entirely on auto-pilot will likely have a lot of fun in Talion.

This leak has come to light well before the start of the new challenges. Therefore, it is quite possible that the tasks will change again if Epic Games brings another update before the start of week 4 on Thursday.
That’s why these challenges should not be regarded as final. However, some of the tasks seem quite plausible. For example, the challenge with the supply drones.
Fortnite introduced points of interest with patch 9.10. These are named locations that are displayed in golden text on the map. Many supply drones fly around there and carry loot. It is very possible that Fortnite wants to showcase this new feature to as many players as possible with such a challenge.
A new weapon for Fortnite has also been leaked. Here’s how strong it will be:
In Pokémon GO Cresselia returns to the raids! We will tell you how to defeat the Pokémon with just three players.
You need to be at this level: Cresselia is hardly beatable with only two players. However, it is significantly easier with three. It is enough if you are level 30. The stronger your Pokémon are, the easier it will be to defeat Cresselia.
How to get Cresselia: The return of Cresselia starts today, on May 27 at 10 PM. You have until June 18 to battle it. If you are lucky, it could also be Shiny.
How to defeat Cresselia with just three players
Use these counters: Cresselia is a Psychic type, which makes it weak against Dark, Ghost, and Bug types.
Cresselia returns to Pokémon GO after several months
These bonuses make it easier: If you are at level 30, you will depend on suitable weather and a high friendship level. The higher your level is, the less important these bonuses become.
Meet these requirements: At level 30, defeating Cresselia is very difficult. It must be foggy or rainy in the game. Additionally, you need to be best friends with your game partners.
The Origin Form of Giratina is the best counter against Cresselia
Use these Pokémon: Ghost and Dark type Pokémon are the best options. However, even a Bug-type Pokémon like Scizor can defeat the legendary monster.
Giratina (Origin Form) with Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball (only in fog)
Gengar with Lick and Shadow Ball (only in fog)
Snibunna with Feint and Leech Life (only in fog)
Mewtwo with Psycho Cut and Shadow Ball (only in fog)
Tyranitar with Bite and Crunch (only in fog)
Banette with Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball (only in fog)
Gengar with Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball (only in fog)
Houndoom with Snarl and Leech Life (only in fog)
Scizor with Fury Cutter and X-Scissor (only in rain)
Defeating Cresselia at Level 35 – Here’s how
Meet these requirements: The weather is not as crucial here. Nonetheless, suitable weather would be ideal to avoid any problems.
Gengar is always a good choice after Giratina – Whether it’s Shiny or not.
Use these Pokémon: At level 35, the counters mentioned above also work. Additionally, two of these counters can defeat Cresselia in any weather:
Giratina (Origin Form) with Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball
Gengar with Lick and Shadow Ball
Depending on the weather, there are more counters available that can defeat Cresselia:
Kramshef with Snarl and Foul Play (only in fog)
Traunmagil with Curse and Shadow Ball (only in fog)
Absol with Snarl and Foul Play (only in fog)
Pinsir with Bug Bite and X-Scissor (only in rain)
Yanmega with Bug Bite and Bug Buzz (only in rain)
Defeating Cresselia at Level 40 – Here’s how
Meet these requirements: If your Pokémon are at maximum level, you have a good chance of defeating Cresselia with three players. At this point, the weather is not as critical. However, a high friendship level is still important.
With Tyranitar, you can defeat Cresselia at level 40 very effectively
Use these Pokémon: Two more Pokémon can defeat Cresselia at this level without a weather bonus. These include:
Tyranitar with Bite and Crunch
Mewtwo with Psycho Cut and Shadow Ball
Additionally, other Pokémon with weather bonuses can take on Cresselia. Use these monsters at level 40:
Raikou with Thunder Shock and Shadow Ball (only in fog)
Tohaido with Bite and Crunch (only in fog)
Alakazam with Psycho Cut and Shadow Ball (only in fog)
In Red Dead Redemption 2 many are waiting for story DLC for the singleplayer mode. However, Rockstar Games is likely taking the same approach with RDR 2 as with GTA 5. DLCs are coming, but online. The characters from the campaign are now appearing in Red Dead Online.
This is how RDR2 releases DLC: New content for Red Dead Redemption 2 is released at regular intervals, but for the online mode. New game modes appear there every few weeks. New missions are also included.
It is interesting that Rockstar Games has recently been using content from the campaign for the DLC in the online mode, such as characters. In doing so, the developers are at least partially responding to the wishes of the players.
Because cowboys have been calling for story DLCs since the release of Red Dead Redemption 2 in October. They want to get to know or continue the story of Arthur and members of his gang in more detail.
With one of the latest updates, Red Dead Redemption 2 brings in two women in multiplayer, whom players know well from singleplayer. This is likely to entice campaign lovers into the online mode. Because offline, in the main story, there are no new contents that continue the story.
It is similar with another successful title from Rockstar Games: GTA 5.
This is how GTA 5 releases DLC: Fans of Grand Theft Auto 5 also wished for DLCs that continue the story. They hoped these additional contents would give insight into other characters who were short-changed in the story.
After all, Rockstar also brought such content to GTA 4 with the biker DLC “The Lost and Damned” and the story “The Ballad of Gay Tony.” These were purchasable DLCs for singleplayer.
However, an offline DLC that continues the story of GTA 5 has not yet been released.
Instead, new content is regularly being released for the online mode. For GTA Online, the nightclub DLC was released, bringing back a familiar face: Gay Tony.
Players can use the online DLCs, if they wish, to a certain extent even solo.
The great wish for story DLC for singleplayer remains
Is that enough for fans of RDR2? Regularly, one reads in the Reddit community of Red Dead Redemption 2 the wish for a story DLC for the offline mode.
The desires vary widely:
Remake of RDR 1 as DLC for RDR 2
A special story DLC with Charles or Sadie Adler
General singleplayer DLC instead of just online updates
There are hardly any limits to creativity. Players find a lot of potential for story DLCs. They hope that Rockstar will eventually incorporate these into the singleplayer mode.
But at the moment there is no indication that Rockstar will veer from its path: There will be DLCs for Red Dead Redemption 2, but as updates for Red Dead Online.
Do you also wish for a story DLC for Red Dead Redemption 2 in offline mode, or are you satisfied if familiar faces are brought into the online mode?
Also in other areas, RDR 2 is somewhat similar to GTA 5:
