The Twitch streamer Tyler “Ninja” Blevins is calling for a change to the drum gun in Fortnite. This is the favorite weapon of many “regular” players, who even voted to bring the Tommy Gun back to Fortnite.
This is the problem Ninja has with the drum gun: The biggest Twitch streamer in the world, Ninja, posted a video on Twitter showing how he has a kind of meltdown, saying this happens to him every time he gets killed with the Tommy Gun.

This is how he feels every time he gets shot with the drum gun.
He and many other top players seem to condemn the playstyle that comes with the Tommy Gun. The weapon is seen as a “spray and pray” gun, where one aims in the direction of the opponents and just fires. It takes down structures and builds effortlessly.
As early as summer 2018, there was heavy criticism of this playstyle – as it weakens building in Fortnite, which many top players have perfected over the months.

It was already evident before the start of the World Cup qualifier that Ninja does not really like the new Fortnite.
This is the change Ninja is calling for: He wants the drum gun to either completely disappear from Fortnite or be found much less frequently. Epic should let the drum gun drop as rarely as the Boom Bow.
Since the drum gun is available in green and blue rarity, it is often found in the game.
Ninja would probably also be in favor of a nerf for the weapon. He is not alone in this – other prominent players are also against this weapon and think that Epic was justified in removing it from the game a few months ago.
This is what makes the drum gun special: The drum gun in Fortnite is based on the famous “Tommy Gun.” It was developed in the 1920s in the USA, and many associate the weapon with mafia movies or films from World War II.
The Tommy Gun holds a cult status among weapons in pop culture.
Even Captain Picard appreciates the Tommy Gun.
This is the history of the weapon in Fortnite:
The drum gun came to Fortnite in July 2018 and was immediately a fan favorite.
In August 2018, it received its first nerf, causing it to be found less frequently and to be less accurate. Additionally, it dealt less damage at longer distances after the nerf.
In September 2018, the weapon was ultimately removed. The item disappeared into the vault.
Since last weekend, the drum gun is also playable again in competitive PvP.
Quickly, most players gathered around the drum gun and started hacking away at it.
This is what it’s all about: The drum gun clearly shows how divided Fortnite is. Competitive players and streamers have completely different interests than the majority of players.
This is an interesting conflict, as the very weapon that the majority of players wanted back is now received so poorly by Ninja, the figurehead of Fortnite:

The popular crossover quest with Witcher 3 keeps returning to Monster Hunter: World. The event is available for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. We’ll show you how to achieve the best ending.
What is the event quest about? MHW is known for hosting many collaborations with other games. One of them is the crossover event with Witcher 3, the popular RPG by CD Projekt Red.
The hunters embark on a hunt for the feared monster, the Forest Spirit, and can earn various rewards along the way.
Geralt was transported through a portal into the world of Monster Hunter: World
The trick is that this event contains several hidden side quests that influence the outcome of the event. We will explain how this event quest works and how to achieve the best results.
Success Conditions: Kill the Ancient Forest Spirit
How does the quest work? During this quest, you play as the Witcher Geralt of Rivia with his own equipment and abilities. Several gameplay elements from the Witcher game have also been incorporated into the quest in MHW.
How to start the quest: At the beginning of the quest, you must find the chief botanist and the local researcher in the Ancient Forest:
The researcher is located in area 3 and her dialogue options will lead you into area 1
You will find the chief botanist’s notebook in area 11. Follow the trail to find more books and finally the botanist himself.
In order for the quest to continue, you must exhaust the dialogue options with both NPCs. From now on, you can tackle the two short side quests that are necessary for the event quest.
Geralt and the researcher next to the corpse of an Aptonoth
How to complete the side quests
What you need to do for the side quest “Unexpected Companions”: Near the location where you found the botanist in area 8, you will find more of the strange roots. They are holding a living Pukei-Pukei captive.
Free the Pukei with the help of the Igni Sign, and it will fly away.
What you need to do for the side quest “The Chief’s Problem”: To start this quest, you must have completed the Gajalaka research quest and unlocked all Palico gadgets. In our guide, we explain how to unlock all Palico gadgets.
Head to Camp 11. In the area outside the camp, you will find many markings. Investigate them, and a Lynian researcher with an exclamation mark will be marked on your map.
He will send you to the upper area of the forest in area 16, where you can normally find the Rathalos, to talk with the Gajalakas.
Defeat them and exhaust all dialogue options. They will send you back down to the expert in the wild. Once her dialogue options have also been exhausted, you will learn where the Gajalaka chief is located.
Defeat the chief and his two companions in area 13 to complete this side quest.
What’s next with the main quest: Return to area 12 and destroy the totem of the Forest Spirit to trigger the fight against him.
He mostly summons tree roots to attack you
He sometimes summons a swarm of crows around himself, which you must burn away with Igni
He can teleport by dissolving into a swarm of crows
After two teleports, he will summon a pack of Jagras
You can use the environment to mount the Forest Spirit and deal a lot of damage
After the Forest Spirit has fled for the fourth and final time, Pukei-Pukei will come to your aid. You will again have to fight against a pack of Jagras.
The Forest Spirit appears as soon as you destroy his totem
Eliminate them quickly before they succeed in killing the Pukei. If his HP falls too low, you can heal him with the life powder found in your inventory.
Here are the rewards
What rewards are available? For completing the Witcher event with all side quests, you will receive:
Guaranteed Attack Jewel
Title “Wild Hunt” for the Guild Card
New background for the Guild Card
Geralt’s Gesture
With the materials from the Forest Spirit, you can also forge the following items:
Armor “Geralt Alpha”
Weapon “Cursed Staff Alpha”
Weapon “Witcher’s Silver Sword”
Catching Nekker – Here’s how
How to find Nekker for the Palico armor: It’s also possible to make your Palico look like a Nekker with an event outfit. However, to forge the set, you first need to catch one of these creatures during a bounty hunt.
Get the Critical bounty “Research Assistance: Creature Capture” at the resource center, where you need to catch a Nekker. The rank does not matter.
For this, go on an expedition at night in the Ancient Forest. Make sure there is a Great Jagras in the area. Otherwise, restart the expedition. Then proceed as follows:
Go to camp 1 and use the Ghillie mantle
Hide near a herd of Aptonoths and wait for the Great Jagras to attack them
Follow the Great Jagras from a distance
The Jagras will return to its nest and spit out its prey there
With a bit of luck, the Nekker will appear, which you can easily catch with the net.

Today, on May 14, the May Iron Banner starts in Destiny 2. What you should pay special attention to this time, as well as all important information regarding the start time or loot, we have summarized for you below.
When exactly does the May Iron Banner run? The last Iron Banner of Season 6 starts at 7:00 PM with the weekly reset on May 14. This PvP event will remain active until May 21.
What mode will be played? The Iron Banner will be held in a 6v6 format. Bungie has not officially commented on the mode yet, but it can be assumed that Control will be active.
Double Valor Points: During the last Iron Banner week of Season 6, there will be double valor points.
These rewards are available in the May Iron Banner
Powerful Loot: Lord Saladin has seven weekly Iron Banner bounties in his inventory. For completing these bounties, you will receive a Powerful reward each time – in total, you can secure seven additional Powerful items this week.
Are you also hunting the new exotic weapon Perfected Outbreak, but your power level for the completion mission is still a bit too low? Then this week you have the opportunity to push your power level stronger with the Iron Banner.
The Weapons: If you complete the bounties from Lord Saladin, additional items will be unlocked for direct purchase in his offer. In addition to Iron Banner armor pieces from Season 6, you can also acquire the Grenade Launcher Swarm of the Raven and the Hand Cannon Crimils Dagger.
After each match, you also have the chance to receive Crucible and Iron Banner items.
Last chance for the following items
What you should pay attention to during the May Iron Banner: Since this is the last Iron Banner of Season 6, the upcoming Iron Banner week is your last chance for seasonal Iron Banner triumphs and a special emblem. Also, a feature introduced only in Season 6 will say goodbye forever.
Banner’s top weapon: This week you have one last chance to earn a kind of top weapon from the Iron Banner – the masterwork version of the Iron Banner fusion rifle “The Wise Rebuke” with curated rolls.
Armors: This week you also have the last chance for parts of the Iron Symmachy set. Here’s how the Season 6 armors look:
After that, these sets will no longer be available and will be replaced by new sets in Season 7.
The “Heavy as Death” emblem: During the May Iron Banner, you can still secure a special Iron Banner badge. Until May 21, you need to achieve a total of 2,500 kills while the effect Iron Burden is active.
After that, this badge will no longer be available. The recently introduced Iron Burden will not return after the May Iron Banner, according to Bungie’s evaluation of fan feedback for this feature.
A new bug in Dead by Daylight is quite annoying for survivors. They are missing out on thousands of bloodpoints. But there is a workaround.
Since the Mid-Chapter Patch 2.7.0 of Dead by Daylight, some survivors have noticed that they occasionally receive fewer bloodpoints at the end of a match than usual. This is not due to their poorer performance but to a bug related to repairing generators. However, with a simple tip, you can bypass the bug.
This is the bug: If survivors fully repair a generator without dropping it once, they do not receive any bloodpoints for it. The points are simply not credited. Only successful skill checks (50) and great skill checks (150) receive points. This results in many survivors ending up with fewer bloodpoints than they are used to.
Here’s how you can bypass the bug: The trick is to simply let go of a generator briefly at 99%. Then the game credits the bloodpoints from the generator’s progress. Afterwards, touch the generator again for 1-2 seconds to complete and fully activate it.
The developer is already working on the bug: Behaviour has already responded to the thread and said that they will assign the QA team to the bug, who will then forward the feedback to the developers. So it’s probably just a matter of time until a hotfix comes out to resolve this issue.
A small bug with annoying consequences: Most players in the Dead by Daylight subreddit seem to agree that this is exactly the kind of bug that can easily be overlooked. They admit that even the community took a long time to figure out the origin of the bug with thousands of players.
In general, it is quite rare for a survivor to fully repair a generator “in one go.” But not being rewarded for it is quite annoying.
Have you noticed the bug as well? Or are you hearing about it for the first time?
The “Refer a Friend” system for World of Warcraft is retiring. This is the last chance to grab rewards.
If you want to encourage a friend to try World of Warcraft, you have been using the “Refer a Friend” system (“Recruit-a-friend” – RAF) for years. Both players benefit, both the referrer and the referred. However, this system is being discontinued, and those who want to take advantage of its benefits must hurry.
When does the system disappear? You have until June 11, 2019, to recruit friends through the RAF system. After that, the system will be discontinued and temporarily deactivated. Corresponding invitations can no longer be sent or accepted. Ongoing bonuses will continue to function until their usual duration expires.
The start of Season 17 in Diablo 3 is just a few days away. When is the end of S17? What new content does Patch 2.6.5 bring? We will show you the most important changes at a glance.
When does Season 17 start? The new season of Diablo 3 begins this week. On Friday, May 17 at 5 PM, the spectacle starts for PC gamers.
Console players on the Switch, PS4, and Xbox One will have to wait a little longer. For you, it starts at 02:00 AM on May 18.
When is the end of Season 17? Blizzard no longer wants to announce in advance when a season is expected to end. This will now happen only two weeks prior. A season in Diablo 3 usually lasts 3 months. Therefore, we expect an end in August.
The contents of Season 17
The seasonal theme: Diablo brings variety to the game with seasonal themes. These are passive bonuses that every player automatically receives when playing a seasonal character.
In Season 17, all seasonal heroes receive the set bonus of Legacy of Nightmares. Just like that. Without having to equip the set. The set bonus states: As long as this is your only set bonus, each ancient item equipped increases your damage by 750% and reduces your damage taken by 4%.
With this new seasonal theme, we expect many cool new builds that you can use to battle for the best spots in the leaderboard.
Haedrig’s Gift: If you complete stages 2, 3, and 4 of the seasonal journey in Season 17, you will receive one of Haedrig’s gifts for each stage. These contain a few parts of a class set. The set is always suitable for the class you open the gift with.
If you collect all gifts with the same class, you will receive a complete set.
In S17, the following sets are available in Haedrig’s Gift:
Have you already decided on a class you definitely want to play? Find out in our Tier List for Season 17 in Diablo 3 which are the best classes and builds.
Cosmetic rewards: For your progress in the seasonal journey of Season 17, Diablo 3 rewards you with cosmetic items. This time, these are rewards that were already active in Season 5. You now have another chance to earn them.
In addition to the leg guards and boots of the Invoker, there are also many portrait frames.
If you manage to complete all nine chapters of the seasonal journey, you will receive the galactic wings!
Higher torment levels: In the new season, torment 13 is not the end. Blizzard has increased the difficulties to torment 14, torment 15, and torment 16.
These new torment levels offer not only increased difficulty but also better loot for you. This is noticeable in blood shards, gold, and experience points. The improved rewards from bounties and Nephalem rifts also show the higher difficulty.
The rewards and difficulties of the new torment levels are comparable to level 65, level 70, and level 75 in Greater Nephalem Rifts.
Search function in the loot chest: You know the problem: Over the course of a season, you put all sorts of items into the loot chest because they seem important. Especially when playing with multiple classes, the chest can quickly get very full. PC players can use a search function for the loot chest in Season 17 to find items there.
Changes to bounties: Most bounties now show directly upon entry where you need to go. Additionally, Horadric Caches can now contain Death’s Breath.
Changes to Puzzle Rings: When you use a Puzzle Ring in Kanai’s Cube, the objective has changed somewhat. You will find a rewarding level there.
You can read the complete patch notes for Season 17 on the Diablo 3 website.

You should pay attention to this: Other players will be just as keen on the Fortbyte as you are. So pay close attention to the surroundings when you land in Haunted Hills, otherwise, you will get eliminated right upon landing.
What are Fortbytes? These Fortbytes are new in Season 9. In total, there are 100 Fortbytes that you can collect or earn by the end of the season. They can be compared to puzzle pieces, as in the end, all pieces are supposed to reveal a big “secret”.
This is what the overview of all Fortbytes looks like
Every day there are new Fortbytes that you can collect. Some of the Fortbytes you will receive automatically when you reach a certain level in the Battle Pass, others, like number 55 now, you have to search for.

In July, EA Access launches on the PS4 and a trailer reveals which games could enrich the Vault at launch.
Which games are involved? In the trailer for the EA Access release on the PS4, the games Battlefield 5 and A Way Out were shown. Both games are not yet available on EA Access, which gives many fans hope.
In addition to these two top games, other games were shown that are already available on EA Access on Xbox. These mainly include sports games, such as NHL 19 or Madden 19.
See here the reference to Battlefield 5 and A Way Out
This is the trailer: You can find this trailer on the EA YouTube channel. It is the official reveal trailer for EA Access on the PS4.

Are these games coming to EA Access? So far, there is still no official confirmation from EA, but the trailer already provides many insights. Battlefield 5 has been available for 10 hours on Xbox thanks to EA Access testing it (“Play First” trials), but as part of the Vault, the title has not yet been available – just like A Way Out.
Furthermore, Battlefield 5 is shown in the trailer at the point where it discusses “Play for less”, meaning “Play for less [money]”. This refers to the Vault, which offers numerous titles as part of a flat rate. This is included in EA Access pricing and is one of the main features of this subscription service.
Could Battlefield 5 come to EA Access?
What would be particularly interesting about the release on EA Access: Normally, games enter the Vault of EA Access after about 12 months on the market. However, Battlefield 5 has only been available since the end of November.
If EA Access launches in July, then Battlefield 5 would come to EA Access significantly earlier than expected.
A Way Out could also come to EA Access
Will these games remain exclusive to the PS4? So far, these games are only seen in the trailer for the PlayStation 4. However, it is unlikely that the two games will be exclusively available for this platform, as the lineup is very similar. One can assume that these two games will soon be playable on Xbox One as part of the library.
What is EA Access? This is a subscription service that lets you play numerous games for a monthly or annual fee. Additionally, you get up to 10 hours of playtime before releases for some brand-new titles to test them out and decide whether to purchase.
So far, this service has only been available on the Xbox One. Now, however, the service is coming to PlayStation 4 in July after nearly 5 years.
In Destiny 2, some fans have discovered an absurd trick that makes the time-critical mission “The Hour Zero” for the new weapon exotic Perfected Outbreak (successor of Outbreak Prime) almost a walk in the park. This has now been circulating online.
Note: The article describes a glitch – we normally do not do this on MeinMMO. In this case, we are making an exception:
It is a glitch in PvE
the glitch is already widely known and practically everyone in the English-speaking community knows about it – German-speaking players should not be at a disadvantage here
People are allegedly already paying money to get Perfected Outbreak
If you have strong feelings against the use of glitches and exploits, we recommend that you do not read the article.
Would surely approve of the glitch: the Drifter.
Have you already obtained the Perfected Outbreak? Currently, in Destiny 2, many Guardians are focused on the new exotic pulse rifle “Perfected Outbreak” – because this weapon is pretty good.
Many players have already acquired the new firearm. Others are still struggling with the quest, especially with the final mission “The Hour Zero.”
The mission proves to be a tough nut to crack, even when players have reached the recommended power level.
This mission is required for the weapon itself, for the masterwork catalyst, and subsequently for leveling the catalyst. Additionally, there is a secret triumph and thus a hidden emblem to be earned there – but all of this is in the intense race against time.
What’s the trick all about? The time (20 minutes) and the recommended power level of 690 are the two biggest hurdles standing between the Guardians and the desired new weapon.
However, some players have discovered a trick that essentially eliminates time as a factor in this mission. This trick can also bypass a low power level.
This trick has been making the rounds on Reddit, social media, and YouTube for several days and is no longer a secret:
Numerous players are overjoyed, as they claim they would not have been able to get the weapon otherwise.
Others who obtained the weapon without such tricks turn up their noses.
How does this trick work? Basically, it’s quite simple. In short: The mission is played regularly by one or two Guardians. A third player is tasked with alternately pressing two different buttons for the duration of the mission. That’s all there is to it.
When two or three players have teamed up, the host starts the mission “The Hour Zero” at the Farm. As soon as the ships take off in orbit (not where they wait in orbit), a predetermined player (not the host, preferably the one with the lowest power level) begins to alternately press the keys for the in-game menu and the map. Both keys should be pressed one after the other within a second.
The player continues to do this until the other two Guardians have played the mission to the boss and have brought the final enemy down to about 10 to 30% of their health. At that point, the “button press” with the challenging task is done and can stop abusing the controller or keyboard.
What does the trick do? Primarily, it diminishes the fun of the cool and challenging mission. However, Guardians with a low power level, playing in pairs, or constantly failing the time limit for the mission now have a chance to still get the weapon.
Otherwise, this trick ensures that the mission timer does not start until the “button presser” stops their action.
Because while the rest of the team flies to the mission and proceeds normally, the third player is kept in a sort of waiting loop through the constant switching between the two menus and gets to watch a flickering screen.
They are still considered part of the fire team, but they do not land in the mission with the rest of the team, which prevents the timer from starting. The game sees the team as incomplete.
If they stop tapping or are not quick enough, they too (even after an hour or more) land in the mission. Once they spawn, the timer starts. The rest of the team can now finish off the boss. The latecomer doesn’t even have to make their way there.
If the boss is down within the allotted time (which should now be no problem even with just two players or alone), then at the end, they receive the weapon and, with more than 5 minutes remaining, also the secret triumph including the emblem. In the heroic version, they receive the masterwork catalyst and 20% progress for the catalyst (once per week).

Keep in mind: This trick essentially takes away the entire appeal of the fun mission “The Hour Zero.” However, if you keep failing at this hurdle despite having the right power levels or simply do not have the time or opportunity to study the mission’s course, this trick could be a help to you. Either to get to know the mission and some challenging passages better or to directly obtain the weapon or other rewards.
The jersey selection in FIFA has been almost the same for years. It works quite simply in FIFA 19. A video now shows that the Spanish football league uses a nearly identical principle for their selection.
This is shown: A short contribution on the YouTube channel of a Spanish newspaper now shows how the officials of the Spanish league select the jerseys of the teams during match planning.
Many FIFA players might rub their eyes, as this strongly resembles the video game. It becomes clear that the football simulation is also well received in real football and some elements are adopted.
The jersey selection in the Spanish league – just like in FIFA 19
That’s why there is a jersey selection: Already during match planning, it is determined which jersey colors the respective teams must wear. The referees’ kit is also included.
This is determined to avoid confusion on the pitch. The players must clearly recognize who their teammates and opponents are.
This is what the jersey selection looks like in FIFA 19
This is how it works in FIFA: In FIFA, players must choose between the jerseys of the two teams before each match. You can view all options and then decide which colors match best.
This is what the Spanish league shows now: In the video from the Spanish newspaper, a nearly identical selection option can be seen. There, the official also jumps from jersey to jersey and checks which colors fit best.
The video is completely in Spanish, but you can clearly see the jersey selection:

The difference to FIFA 19 lies only in the details. The Spanish league not only selects the players’ jerseys but also the kits of the goalkeepers and referees. Additionally, here you can even adjust the shorts and socks. This is not possible in FIFA.
What do you think about this? Do you know other cases where professional teams have been inspired by FIFA?
Normally, it is rather the other way around. There has been a massive influence on the transfer market after incredible matches were played in the Champions League:
Week 5 of the WC Qualifier in Fortnite was pure stress for many players. Epic removed vehicles from the game, which destroyed the strategies of many professionals.
This is what happened: During the WC Qualifier in week 5, there were apparently numerous bugs related to vehicles. Epic suddenly decided to remove vehicles from the game. At least for this week.
For many professionals, this meant stress, as many strategies are based on vehicles and they were suddenly gone. Additionally, there is the new map of Season 9 and new weapons, which were met with poor reception among professionals.
There is great stress in the eSport of Fortnite
This is how Fortnite explains the removal of vehicles: A bug that prevented players from exiting vehicles caused Epic to remove all vehicles for week 5. The developer announced this on Twitter and removed the vehicles shortly before the start of the qualifier rounds on Sunday.

Therefore, many professionals’ strategy is to secure a Balloon in the round in order to position themselves well in the endgame.
The Balloon is an important part of the professionals’ strategies
Such strategies are often practiced by professionals for days in advance, and now the vehicles were completely disabled for the week. Therefore, the strategy did not work.
There is more stress: Not only the disabled vehicles were a problem, but also the weapons. Thus, the end of Season 8 brought back the Drum Gun – a weapon that was actually too strong for the game and was therefore originally removed.
Moreover, the old shotgun was removed from the game and replaced with a new “Combat Shotgun.” However, this weapon is significantly weaker than the old shotgun, which is why the professionals had to start with a new weapon set.
How did the professionals react to this? Players like Tfue, who had already qualified before, were schadenfreude. He wrote, “I am so glad I don’t have to play this week!”

Nevertheless, he wished other players good luck for this week. His pro colleague “cloak” simply replied, “Fuck off.” He was probably not very happy with the removal of vehicles.
Player “Tom 72hrs” writes: “Good, there goes my whole strategy!” referring to his statement that the Balloon is the most important thing in the game.
Ninja also didn’t do very well in week 5. He was eliminated on Saturday:
Bethesda announced a sequel to the successful 2016 Doom reboot at E3 2018. Everything we know about the upcoming Doom Eternal is summarized here for you.
This year, a Quakecon will be held in Europe for the first time. Alongside the event in the USA, fans can get their hands on Doom Eternal in London on July 26 and 27 for the first time.
Everything else we know about the upcoming shooter is summarized for you.
Even in such bizarre places, the Doomguy has to step up again.
About Doom Eternal – Battle on Earth and Phobos
Under the motto “Hell on Earth,” Doomguy, the nameless protagonist of the Doom games, is sent to Earth. After the events of the 2016 Doom reboot, the minions of Hell invade Earth and cause a lot of havoc.
In addition to Earth, the moon Phobos will also play a significant role. Phobos has been visited before in the Doom series, specifically in the very first level of the original game.
You won’t miss out on quirky enemies and cool blades in Doom Eternal either.
Doom Eternal Release – When can we play?
When exactly Doom Eternal is set to be released is currently unknown. Amazon lists the game for a release on December 31, 2019. However, this will likely be a placeholder. Still, this could be a sign that Eternal will be released this year.
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
This is shown in the gameplay trailer
In the gameplay trailer, we see that Doom Eternal doesn’t play much differently from its predecessor from 2016. Nevertheless, there are some new features that will bring fresh air to the upcoming shooter: Doomguy can climb along walls and dash in one direction. Also, there is a grappling hook, a new melee blade on the arm, and a small flamethrower on the protagonist’s shoulder.
Moreover, there are supposed to be twice as many demons in Eternal as there were in Doom from 2016. However, it is not known whether this refers to double the amount of different enemy types or simply the number of monsters to be killed.

At Quakecon 2018, a new feature for Doom Eternal was introduced, where players can infiltrate the worlds of others. Similar to Dark Souls, hostile players will then suddenly stand in your way – as demons!
According to developer Marty Stratton, this feature represents an important change for Doom: “We’re not just making a Doom game anymore; we’re developing a Doom universe.”
Players who do not want to deal with the invasions of hostile players can also disable this feature in the options.
Welcome to the … Earth?
This is the platform for the shooter
Doom Eternal will be released for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch. On PC, the shooter will be available through the Bethesda Launcher and Steam.

In addition, Doom Eternal is also expected to be playable on Google’s Stadia and even be among the launch titles there. Another sign that Eternal will likely be released in 2019. Google’s streaming service is set to launch in the USA, Canada, the UK, and Europe in 2019.
If you want to win a round in Apex Legends, you will hardly avoid some gunfights. However, you are at a strong disadvantage if the opponent sees you, but you do not see him. Therefore, you should always be cautious.
Why should I look up? In the King’s Canyon of Apex Legends, there are many houses scattered across the map. Most houses are made of wood and are already brittle, damaged, or old.
This creates openings in the wood. Through these, opponents can see you and even attack. Many people hardly pay attention to these openings, but only look at obvious weaknesses like doors and windows.
However, the holes in the wood are often located in the roof or near the roof. When you enter a house to seek cover or loot, you should always look up.
These houses have special openings.
You must know these killer spots
What kind of spots are these? Most of these openings are small holes, missing slats in the wall or roof, through which at most a grenade can be thrown. This is usually predictable and comes with a warning.
Many buildings with two stories and a balcony have a very large opening in a wall directly under the roof. Right in front of this opening is another roof.
Through this opening, players can monitor the entire upper floor as well as the stairs, simply by kneeling in front of the hole without being easily seen themselves.
Here you can find the large holes.
How do I reach the spots? The easiest way to reach such spots is with the legend Pathfinder. With just one use of his zip line or his ultimate ability, you can easily occupy the points.
With a little practice, you can do it with any legend. YouTuber Testy31 shows in the video how it works.

What is the benefit of this knowledge? Many players do not pay attention to these openings in the wood. With the knowledge of these spots, you have two advantages:

In Pokémon GO, the 8th generation might soon play a role. A code word has been found in the latest update.
This was discovered by a dataminer: Chrales, a dataminer for Pokémon GO, found various extracts in the update 0.143.0 that were marked with the word “koala”.
This wouldn’t make sense in relation to Pokémon GO, which is why many players are speculating about a secret code word. This could be related to the latest generation of Pokémon.
These clues were related to the 8th generation
What lies behind this code word: The idea of the code word doesn’t come from nowhere. Shortly before Niantic announced a collaboration with the Let’s GO games, various extracts with the word “beluga” were found in the code.
Could Pokémon Sword and Shield soon play a role in Pokémon GO?
It seemed that Niantic used a code word for the Let’s GO games so that dataminers would not stumble directly upon the content.
This is now again the case. The word “koala” appears everywhere in the update, so it’s another animal that Niantic could use as a code name.
This could hint at the code word: If Niantic is planning another collaboration with another Pokémon game, then it would probably be Pokémon Sword and Shield. These games revolve around a completely new, the 8th generation.
There is speculation that Nintendo will present more information about the new generation at the E3, which will take place next month. Accordingly, there could be an event for it in Pokémon GO. Perhaps this is precisely why the extracts in the code have appeared.
The Let’s GO games also play an important role in Pokémon GO
How could the 8th generation be connected with Pokémon GO? Not only events for this generation are conceivable. There might also be a kind of exchange system between the games. This is possible with the Let’s GO games as well.
Is this all official? No, these are just speculations from fans. The discovery of the word “koala” could also mean something completely different, but it would be quite logical if it were connected with generation 8.
What do you think about it? What could the word “koala” indicate?
Could Niantic soon take action against spoofers? There are indications:
Ghost Recon Breakpoint will do quite a few things differently than its predecessor Wildlands. We have summarized and explained the most important changes for you here.What’s new in Breakpoint?
A few days ago, Ubisoft presented its new military shooter Ghost Recon Breakpoint, which is set to be released on October 4, 2019, for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. It is the successor to the current series installment Ghost Recon Wildlands.
How does Ghost Recon Breakpoint differ from Wildlands?
Although the basic framework of the new Ghost Recon may seem similar at first glance, Breakpoint wants to take new paths in numerous areas and will therefore differ significantly from Wildlands in some respects. What makes it different? What is really new? Here are the most important differences and changes:
The Setting
The first difference is the setting. You are no longer in Bolivia, but on the fictional island of Aurora with different climate zones somewhere in the Pacific.
You are no longer hunters of Bolivian drug lords, but as a survivor of a helicopter crash, now you are the hunted. The survival aspect is now more focused.
The enemies you face are no longer Sicarios or gangs, but partly technologically equipped and elitely trained fighters – some even from the Ghosts’ own ranks. Not only current military hardware is in use, but also all sorts of futuristic technology.
No more AI companions
In Ghost Recon Breakpoint, unlike in Wildlands, there will be no AI comrades to lend you a hand and to whom you can give rudimentary commands.
However, that does not mean that you are completely on your own in the world of Aurora. If you do not want to go alone, you can experience the entire game with up to three other human players in co-op.
In addition, you will still have a drone with which synchronized shots will still be possible.
New enemies and improved enemy AI
While the variety of enemies in Wildlands was not really large, there will be numerous different enemy archetypes in Breakpoint. From light elite hunters to heavily armored enemies with miniguns and even combat drones the size of a car.
However, realism is to be maintained. Those who now fear encountering bullet sponges, as in The Division 2, need not worry.
Even the heavily armored enemies or a high-ranking member of the Wolves can still be eliminated with a few shots or even with a well-placed hit if approached correctly.
In addition, there is supposed to be improved enemy AI. For example, the Wolves, former Ghosts who now hunt you, are said to employ noticeably different tactics than the regular enemies. They are faster, have their own formations and procedures when they pursue you.
In Breakpoint, you will be able to set up these makeshift camps all over the island. There you can change your gear or class and take better care of your injuries, among other things. They also serve as fast travel points and “waiting opportunities”.
Additionally, you can set the time of day at this hideout or check the weather report if you want your next covert action to be pitch dark and stormy.
Injuries
While injuries in Wildlands had little impact on gameplay until your death, this will change in Breakpoint. If you take too many hits there, it can affect numerous factors such as movement speed or aiming with your weapon – and all of this comes in several intensity levels.
For example, a shot to the leg can slow your character down. If the injury is worse, your Ghost might limp, drag the leg behind, hardly be able to walk, or eventually only be able to crawl.
Injuries can be treated immediately with bandages to some extent. At the camp, you can patch yourself up.
Additionally, your character will also suffer from hunger, thirst, combat stress, and fatigue.
New camouflage options
In addition to the adaptive cover system, there are supposed to be new ways to seek cover – even when there isn’t any. For example, you can cover yourself in mud in a muddy pit and lie down there. This way, you blend in with the surroundings and can escape from one or another enemy.
More military equipment
In Wildlands, there were a lot of vehicles you could drive. However, very few of them were armored or had weapons. That is supposed to change in Breakpoint. Ubisoft has said there will be more military vehicles, such as combat helicopters, and a whole range of armored SUVs with different armaments.
Dialogue options
Dialogue options, as seen in Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, will also make their way into Ghost Recon Breakpoint. During cut scenes in missions, several conversation options will be available to you. It is still unclear whether these will have consequences for the further course of the mission depending on your choice.
Different quality tiers for loot?
In Wildlands, you could pick up the guns of killed enemies. But in Ghost Recon Breakpoint, they not only drop loot, but apparently, there are also different quality tiers, as reported by PCGamesN.
According to their statement, it was the case during their limited playtime that a found weapon was marked with the typical green glow of “Uncommon Loot”. However, what was different about the weapon could not be determined as the stats could not be viewed.
Otherwise, you could also get cosmetics and equipment from crates that were scattered throughout the game world.
PvP ready at launch
While PvP was added to Wildlands with a delay, Breakpoint will launch directly with a PvP mode. They learned a lot from this mode and its development in Wildlands and now know much better what players want and expect from such a mode.
By the way, the PvP and PvE share character progression. Everything you unlock in skills in PvP can also be used in PvE and vice versa.
Raids
With Breakpoint, Ubisoft wants to engage players for longer. They should also be kept entertained after completing the campaign – including with raids. These co-op activities are designed for a group of four players and will be released after the launch of Ghost Recon Breakpoint. The first raid is expected to take place in a base built in an active volcano. There is currently no further information.
More tactical options
Breakpoint is said to offer more tactical options than Ghost Recon Wildlands. For example, there will be new equipment, such as the welding torch, with which you can cut through fences. The time of day can be adjusted for your missions, and the weather can change as well. Among other things, you will also be able to drag enemies into the bushes and hide them there.
Class-based progression
Instead of a single skill tree as in Wildlands, Breakpoint will initially feature four different classes – including Assault and Sniper. You can change these at the camp. More will follow after launch.
Each class has its own talent tree and special abilities and must be leveled up and progressed individually. In this context, there will also be own class challenges to unlock passive perks of the respective class. Progress will be cross-cutting between PvP and PvE.
Bots are a big problem in the space MMO EVE Online. The developer studio CCP Games has now published a list of the 25 alliances that use the most bots.
What has CCP Games shown? A chart has been released, listing the 25 alliances of the MMO EVE Online, from which the most players have used bots that have subsequently been banned.
The list includes data from approximately 16 years, according to CCP Games. The chart does not indicate which alliances currently have the most bots! Many of the organizations no longer exist.
The chart shows which alliances were banned due to bots.
EVE Alliances in the Spotlight
What is special about the list? The list names the alliances publicly. Thus, CCP Games essentially shames bot users in EVE Online.
This list was already shown by the developer studio at the last EVE Fanfest – but without names.
What does the chart reveal? The pie chart indicates that primarily those organizations that rent Null-Sec space have used bots.
What is Null-Sec space? This area of the galaxy can be claimed by alliances, and it also contains very valuable resources. Here, uncontrolled, open PvP occurs.
Why rent this space? It is difficult, especially for small alliances, to hold space in Null-Sec for long, as the larger organizations are simply too powerful.
Therefore, there is the option to rent areas controlled by large alliances. Then, even as a small organization, one can mine resources, but a portion of the profits goes to the “landlord.” It is a win-win situation.
Because there is so much to gain in Null-Sec space and the “landlords” basically do not care about the “tenants,” many botters take the opportunity to make a lot of money.
What is so bad about botting? Botters operate multiple accounts in the game. This way, they can sometimes automatically generate a lot of revenue in the game in an unauthorized manner. Essentially, it is cheating.
This Could Have Consequences
What consequences does the publication of the chart have? Botting is considered a disgrace in EVE Online. Anyone labeled as a botter has a problem, as other players might be angry with them because of it.
Therefore, the alliances named in the list might now face some issues with other EVE players.
How does the community react? According to Twitter, EVE players are divided in opinion regarding the publication of the chart with names. Some feel that this “shaming” was unnecessary, while others welcome the decision. Generally, the belief is that CCP Games needs to take more action against botters in EVE Online.
A card for Hearthstone players is only available if they purchase the whole story expansion “The Big Heist.” However, it does deliver solid value – as it works like “Giggle Flip the Wonderful.”
This week, the first two wings of the Hearthstone adventure “The Big Heist” from the current expansion “Conspiracy of Shadows” will open. In addition to three card packs as rewards for completing each wing, there is another bonus if you own all wings. Only then will you receive the card “Shadow Cloak Zayle” (original: “Zayle, Shadow Cloak”).
What does Zayle, Shadow Cloak do? Zayle works very similarly to Giggle Flip the Wonderful. When you include Zayle in a deck, you don’t need to add any additional cards. Each game with the deck will then start with one of five different “evil” decks – selected at random.
The cloak Zayle is likely to be a replacement for many players for Giggle Flip.
A complete deck in gold: By the way, it’s particularly cool that you will receive a golden version of Zayle. This means that the decks you play will also consist entirely of golden (i.e. animated) cards. At least visually, this should certainly make an impression.
How much does Zayle cost now? In plain terms, this means that to own Zayle, you must pay €20 or 2,800 gold. All 5 wings of the adventure “The Big Heist” must be owned. Those who look at the situation more positively see the card simply as a nice bonus for anyone purchasing the complete adventure.
How good is Zayle? How good the decks that Zayle provides will be remains to be seen. However, if they are even remotely as much fun as Giggle Flip’s decks, then the card will likely be a must-buy for many.
After all, Giggle Flip will be rotated out next year, and Zayle could fill that gap. Whether Zayle’s deck will change over time or remain permanently the same remains to be seen.
Whether Zayle will later also be “craftable” (i.e. craftable for dust) remains to be seen. So far, however, it seems like a clear additional purchase argument for the expansion.
Will you get Zayle or is that even a good reason to buy the adventure “The Big Heist”? Or is such a card more reason against supporting this expansion?
Recently, the raid boss Riven was soloed in Destiny 2. However, the strategy used to accomplish this cannot be replicated by anyone anymore.
Here’s what it’s about: Player Tazus was the first player to manage to defeat the raid boss Riven solo in Destiny 2. Riven is the boss of the “Last Wish” raid, which was introduced with the Forsaken expansion.
Just before the reset on May 7, Tazus succeeded in taking down Riven solo. The timing was crucial because the strategy for the solo kill relied on buffs, a bug, and a lot of luck.

The basis of the kill was a bug where Arcstrider Hunters could deal more damage than intended since the Arc week. With the reset on May 7 and Patch 2.2.2, the bug was fixed. He also utilized the Revelry Elixir from the spring event, which also ended with the reset.
How was the raid boss defeated? Besides the Arc bug, Tazus also had luck on his side. He had only a 1:45 chance to hit the correct eye of Riven to stop her one-hit kill.
Thanks to a bug, the Arc Hunter could deal incredible damage for a time.
In the various phases, the player also continuously changed his equipment and subclass to adapt to the different conditions and prepare as best as possible for the upcoming sections. This is only possible on PC – on consoles, the menu loading times are simply too long.
Player had help: Under his video, Tazus thanks his clan, who supported him in preparations and test runs, as well as Gladd from Clan Redeem, who provided the strategy for the kill. The player was also cheered on by Slayerage, The Legend Himself, who is known for incredible achievements in Destiny and Destiny 2.
In addition to Riven, there are also other nasty opponents in Destiny 2, such as Trevor:
