Ubisoft will release the new military shooter Ghost Recon Breakpoint in October. You can now pre-order: Collector’s Edition, Gold Edition, Ultimate Edition, and Standard Edition. We will show you the contents.
What is it about? Ghost Recon Breakpoint will be released in October for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. It is a stealth adventure in true Ghost Recon fashion.
There are finally new details about the launch of the solo mode of the current Hearthstone expansion “Conspiracy of Shadows”. We have the details for you.
The latest expansion “Conspiracy of Shadows” of Hearthstone has been live for a month now, so many players are probably experiencing a bit of boredom. In particular, the fact that the solo mode is still not available weighs heavily on many players.
Now Blizzard has finally announced the release plans and provided more details on how the campaign of “Conspiracy of Shadows” will unfold.
Release next week: The new expansion will launch after a long wait next week on May 16, 2019. Players can then begin for free in the first wings of the expansion.
There are 5 chapters – 2 will be available next week.
Five new wings, two at launch: As has been customary in previous expansions, “The Great Heist” will be released in several stages. At launch, there will be the first wing (free), while the second can be purchased and played immediately afterwards. The following wings will be added in the coming weeks, so the conclusion of the entire adventure will take a while.
What does the adventure cost? Those who want to buy all wings individually will pay either 700 gold pieces or 7 € per wing. Alternatively, all four wings can be purchased for 20€, saving about 8 €. Note that wings 3, 4, and 5 will only be playable in the following weeks.

New features and possibilities: In principle, the new adventure is based on the “Dungeon Run” adventures of previous expansions but has more options and additional missions to provide longer gameplay enjoyment. There are:
New “Events” instead of battles. In the tavern, you can discard unwanted cards and add other cards to the deck.
Multiple hero abilities that need to be unlocked
Multiple starting decks that also need to be unlocked
Special rules in each wing, like minions that automatically join after battles
Normal and Heroic difficulty
“Anomaly” mode, which is unlocked at the very end and introduces additional effects, such as “Wild Magic” where each spell is cast a second time on a random target
With the little fire elemental, you can unlock new hero abilities.
Basically, it looks like “The Great Heist” will be significantly more extensive than previous solo adventures and offer a greater replay value. Once again, however, the main focus is on the fun of playing, and the rewards in the form of card packs are probably just a nice addition. The focus is on the mode itself and its additional unlockable options.
Whether the long wait was worth it will be revealed next week.
Minecraft is back with a big patch. It’s packed with news that give the cult game numerous new reasons why you should urgently play it again.
It took several months for Minecraft to receive a new update, but a few days ago it finally happened. Patch 1.14 brought numerous innovations that expand the game with meaningful options. At the same time, the charm of the game world has been preserved, incorporating many small, wonderful details. We present five reasons that will enchant you again with Minecraft.
The NPCs are more alive than ever
It’s fascinating how villagers have developed over the years. Initially, they were just useless characters embellishing the surroundings, but now they have their own roles in their villages. With this patch, every villager has their own workplace and even a fixed daily routine. In the morning, for example, villagers go to their workplace, meet at the village square at noon, and then return to their homes.
This even influences the goods of the villagers. If the village is struggling, the goods are scarce and expensive. If the village is thriving, the player enjoys a good reputation, and the villagers come to their workplaces, then prices drop or the supply increases.
Now, however, you can also find wandering trader llamas outside the villages, selling various goods.
“Raids” are now in Minecraft
Minecraft has always had quite exciting, albeit simple battles. The adrenaline that rushes through you when you suddenly hear the ominous hissing of a creeper is perhaps forever ingrained in gamers’ bones. However, the latest patch introduced an even cooler variant of battles, which is especially fun with other players: raids.
If a village is attacked, it gets hectic!
This involves an attack by bandits on NPC villages. They not only attack with their own “evil villagers” (illagers) but also bring witches and particularly dangerous beasts.
A raid is triggered when you find an illager in the wild carrying a banner above their head. If you kill this illager, you will receive the debuff “Bad Omen.” On your next visit to an NPC village, you automatically trigger the raid and must defend the village. If you fail, the villagers will likely be wiped out.
In addition to all these changes and innovations in gameplay mechanics, there are also numerous new things that define Minecraft at its core: blocks.
After all, one of the greatest pleasures in Minecraft is building “something of your own” and having constructed just the right home or the perfect environment after many days of planning. This is now even better, as there are many new blocks that not only look great but are also quite useful.
Campfires also spawn “naturally” in villages.
Favorites include:
Campfires: Can be lit and extinguished to provide light. Food can be cooked on the campfire. Particularly cool – if you place hay underneath the fire, you can create smoke signals that can be seen over dozens of blocks away.
Lanterns: Are sturdier than torches, as bright as glowstone, and look really pretty.
Blast Furnace: A better furnace that smelts ores at an increased rate.
Tiles: Almost all stone variants and similar solid blocks now have tiles, walls, and stairs.
The animal world with those damn pandas
Animals have always been an important part of Minecraft. Whether as suppliers of food (pigs, cows), as combat companions (wolves), or as means of transportation (horses). With the latest patch, the number of animals has increased again.
There are now pandas. They serve no significant purpose but are the most diverse animals Minecraft has ever had. They are not only incredibly cute, rolling around or flinching when their young sneeze, but they also have different personalities.
There are particularly playful pandas that roll around all day, or grumpy pandas that can become aggressive quickly. If you want, you can even breed your own pandas and cross their personalities.
As if that weren’t enough, there are now also cats. These differ from ocelots, as they might block your bed by snuggling up there or bring you a nice “gift” in the morning – sometimes a piece of wool, sometimes rotten flesh, or a fish.
New possibilities for nasty traps
Almost as enjoyable as the harmony of a stylish home in Minecraft is the chaos and discord that you can create with traps in the game. There’s hardly a better feeling than spending hours working on a nasty trap, only to see an unsuspecting friend cluelessly fall into it.
If you’re looking for some ideas for creative traps that go beyond “Haha, you fall into lava,” I can recommend this video from YouTuber Grian. It’s in English, but the design of the traps is quite simple and easy to understand.

If you like to annoy your friends in Minecraft, the new blocks offer more opportunities than ever before.
If you haven’t picked up Minecraft for years, you should definitely take a trip back to the blocky world – even if the search for diamonds will once again take hours.
Cortyn says: Minecraft has been one of my “relaxation games” for years. When all other games are just frustrating or when I’m stressed, I dig a cave or build a nice house in Minecraft. It’s meditative, like playing with Lego as a child. I’m immensely pleased that these possibilities have been expanded again, ensuring that one or another evening will likely end with a creeper explosion.
Are you also revisiting Minecraft? Or is the game nothing for you?

What payment model does the game use? The MMORPG will be released as a free-to-play game with an in-game shop.
Are there pre-order bonuses? Yes, anyone who registers in the app store for the title now will receive a package of rewards that make the start easier.
What is special about Talion? There are two aspects that might be interesting for players:
You can let quests and fights run automatically. This could minimize the “active” grind. So if you have little time but still want to progress, just let a quest run automatically.

A nice mobile MMORPG
This is how players have reacted to Talion so far: The graphics and overall presentation are praised in Talion. However, the gender-restricted classes are not well received, and auto-battle is viewed critically.
Tigrafr says on Reddit: “I tried Talion in the soft launch. The graphics look great and the story is amazing.”
Viewtiful_Dante explains: “Please stop introducing auto-battle as a ‘feature.'”
How Talion ultimately plays, we will find out on May 28.
In Destiny 2, the upcoming Season of Opulence will kick off with a bang for Annual Pass owners. Just a few hours after the season begins, the new raid will go live.
There has been little information from official channels regarding the upcoming Season 7 – the Season of Opulence. Now, just under a month before the season begins, Bungie is finally revealing new details.
This is the exact start date for Season 7: Initially, Bungie revealed when the new season will specifically start. As many have suspected, this will happen immediately following the current season of the Drifter. The Season of Opulence will begin with the Weekly Reset at 7:00 PM on June 4th.
What We Know About the New Raid in Season 7
Owners of the Annual Pass can look forward to a new raid in Season 7. There have been no official details on this yet. However, the developers have shared the first information about the upcoming new PvE endgame activity in this week’s “This Week at Bungie” blog.
Will the raid return to the Leviathan?
This is what the new raid will be called: The upcoming raid is named “Crown of Sorrow”. There is currently no new information about the setting or the enemies.
When does the raid start? There is a surprise regarding the start date and time, as Bungie is breaking with tradition here. Normally, new raids are released several days or even weeks after the season begins. However, in Season 7, the raid will launch just a few hours after the season kicks off.
In the USA, the raid will go live on June 4th at 4 PM. Due to the time difference, it will start in Germany at 1:00 AM on June 5th.
This is what you can expect from Season 7
This is what you should also consider: The Guardians will not have much time or opportunities for preparation. They have only six hours to approach the recommended power level of 715 for the first encounter in the new raid. This is 15 levels above the current cap from Season 6. The level requirement is likely to increase further throughout the raid.
Additionally, Bungie has temporarily adjusted some things for the raid’s start so that all players have the same conditions when participating in the World First race:
The two older raids “Last Wish” and “Scourge of the Past” will be disabled until “Crown of Sorrow” is mastered. This prevents players from using a potential stash of Etheric Keys to gain a level advantage.
The buff “Primus Determination” will be limited to two charges per character on the first day of Season 7. This means this bonus is only valid for the first two Primus Engrams that you find.
When will there be more information? Bungie did not specify a concrete date, but the studio has assured that more information about the new season will be shared soon via the blog on the official Bungie website.
Will you be trying the new raid right at launch? What do you think of this immediate start of the activity?
Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint has been revealed! In line with this, there is over 10 minutes of gameplay footage from the game showcasing thrilling action.
What is there to see? After Ubisoft, as previously announced, has unveiled their new Ghost Recon game, there is now just under 14 minutes of exciting gameplay for the game.
In it, you see one of the numerous missions that you must complete on the island of Auroa. It shows that teamwork is essential if you want to take out all enemies.
This is the gameplay trailer for Ghost Recon Breakpoint
You will be hunted relentlessly: First, you can see a lone elite soldier fighting through the jungle of Auroa. He is mercilessly hunted down by the Wolves. These units are all over the island and want to eliminate any intruders.

The trailer also showcases the usual elements from Ghost Recon, as there are times you must proceed quietly and cautiously. At one point, you can even see advanced camouflage as the soldier lies in the mud to conceal himself from his enemy.
Here teamwork is crucial: After the soldier has teamed up with his squad, they head toward the building that is teeming with enemies.
You can heal your injured teammates
Here, collaboration is especially important, as the Ghosts attack from all sides to take out as many enemies at once.
These are the weapons and gadgets available: During the gameplay, you can see a selection of the game’s weapons. Pistols, assault rifles, and even rocket launchers are in use.
In addition to the numerous weapons, there are also other gadgets. You can scout the enemies with a drone, just like in Wildlands. You can restore your health with bandages and syringes.
A variety of vehicles are available to you
These are the vehicles: In Ghost Recon Breakpoint, you will also have a variety of vehicles to choose from. In the trailer, you can see buggies with which you can race across the island. Helicopters and boats are back as well.
What do you think of the gameplay? Are you excited for the new installment of Ghost Recon?
If you are looking for more information about the game, check out our comprehensive overview of Breakpoint:
Ubisoft has now presented the new Ghost Recon Breakpoint. Many suspected that it would be a Wildlands 2. We show you what’s inside.
What is Ghost Recon Breakpoint? The new part of the Ghost Recon series can be played solo or with up to 4 players in co-op. It is a military shooter that offers a campaign as well as a PvP arena with 4v4 matches.
What is Ghost Recon Breakpoint about? You play as Nomad and are actually on a “normal” mission. Then things go wrong, and you end up on the fictional island of Auroa.
As you know from Ghost Recon, you are part of an elite squad in Breakpoint. But on this island, everything is a bit different. You are not hunting enemies; they are hunting you.
Your enemies are called Wolves. They utilize the powerful drone technology developed by Jace Skell. Officially, he wants to improve the world, but apparently has evil intentions.
The Wolves – Your enemies
In Breakpoint, your survival skills will be put to the test. Hide from your enemies and take them out silently. Or shoot loudly.
Vehicles like buggies, boats, and helicopters are again available for your movement.
What locations are there? Auroa features various landscapes. Snow, jungle, sand, and of course – water.
When is the release? Ubisoft plans to release the game on October 4, 2019, on the platforms PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
Does it relate to Ghost Recon Wildlands? In the gameplay trailer, it is evident that Ubisoft is using the successful formula from Wildlands.
You can once again deploy drones to scout the environment. Additionally, you are again working as a group and can prepare kills simultaneously. The simultaneous kill from Wildlands is also back.
The gameplay trailer also shows various enemy types that are sometimes more, sometimes less armored.
More depth in injuries: Injuries to Nomad must be treated at the mobile field hospital. With a gunshot wound, you will limp and be more vulnerable in combat.
More tactics: Tactically, a lot has changed. You can specifically adjust the time of day and drag incapacitated enemies into the bushes. Additionally, you can cut through fences with welding torches.
No strike team: Breakpoint forgoes AI allies. This time, you really crash solo. Your sync-shot ability still works – thanks to the help of drones.
Class selection: Different classes provide variety. At launch, there are initially four classes, including Assault and Sniper.
In the Gamestar video, you can see what Breakpoint wants to do differently than Wildlands.

Conan Exiles has released a new DLC that is not among the planned DLCs for 2019. This one explicitly celebrates the Conan films featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger for the first anniversary.
Why is there this DLC? In a press release, the CEO of Funcom, Rui Casais, explained that the new DLC for Conan Exiles will specifically include content inspired by the “Conan the Barbarian” films with Arnold Schwarzenegger from the 1980s.
The reason is that, while Conan Exiles is based on the works of Robert E. Howard, books, and subsequently comics, the Conan universe was able to reach many people primarily through the films.
Many of today’s Conan fans might never have heard of Howard’s work if it hadn’t been for Schwarzenegger’s breakthrough in the role of Conan the Barbarian. Therefore, we thought it would be a good idea to link the first anniversary of our best-selling game with a tribute to Schwarzenegger, “Thulsa Doom” actor James Earl Jones, and others.
This is included in the DLC: As with each of the previously released DLCs, the new DLC “Riddle of Steel” contains purely cosmetic content. This includes:
18 statues and figures of Arnold Schwarzenegger as Conan
5 iconic helmets from the films of characters like Thulsa Doom and Rexor
5 unique, placeable items like Conan’s throne
6 statues and figures of Valeria
6 statues and figures of Subotai, the Hyrkanian archer
3 decorative war paints from the film
The name of the DLC is a reference to the Conan film. The “Riddle of Steel” is important for Conan the Barbarian to stand well before his god Crom.
When will the DLC be released? “Riddle of Steel” has been released today, on May 9, 2019, and is available for purchase immediately.
How much does the DLC cost? You can purchase the DLC for €6.99 on Steam. This makes it €3 cheaper than the DLCs usually cost. However, it is also not included in the season pass that covers the other DLCs from 2019.
Recently, a promotion from Sony has brought Conan Exiles many players:
Do the new mods make an investment in skill power unnecessary?
Here’s what it’s about: In his video, Gongrongzong discusses skills in general and shares his impressions gathered on the PTS. He also compares the situation to skills in The Division 1.
Back then, there were indeed strong builds that could be built around the main attribute Electronics. The higher the skill power, the better the skills.
With the new mods, an investment in additional attributes like skill power would soon become completely unnecessary.
This is what the new skill mods can do: The mods can be equipped in your skill slots without minimum requirements. They have high skill bonuses for the respective skills. The bonuses of these mods can exceed values of 900.
Thus, it is easily possible to reach high skill power beyond 3000 for the respective skills. This, in turn, allows you to equip the best skill mods on the other slots.
That’s why the mods make skill power unnecessary: None of the best mods have requirements higher than 3000.
This makes it practically unnecessary to equip any attribute with skill power on the rest of the gear if you want to optimize your build. So why still build skill builds?
Gongrongzong criticizes that skill builds are now worse off than before.
Actually, you want to build cool builds in “Inspector Gadget” style, maintain control in groups, or deal heavy explosive damage with skills. But the current system feels bad in his eyes.
What do the players say about it? In the comments, he receives a lot of agreement. Many criticized The Division 2 for making skills worthless and skill builds actually having no value anymore. They are concerned that Massive will maintain this course.
What will happen to skill builds?
This is the problem with skill builds: The current system around skills and skill mods has not been particularly popular since release.
While a mod with low base damage (+5%) at increased skill power (2083) gets a high value (+46.66%),
a mod with high base damage (+10%) at low scaling gets a significantly lower bonus (+16.94%), even if the skill power is high.
Many fans see this idea as the best way to find a compromise between the current and the old system.
This is how Kudor writes on Reddit under the same repost: “I really have nothing to add to that. This is such a comfortable solution, I don’t even understand why the game wasn’t designed this way from the start.”
But not everyone sees it as the solution. Varonth writes: “Every character you create has to choose from one to two specific items. And these parts already determine your build.”
In his opinion, there is no build diversity and the skills are generally too weak.
But what do you think about it? Write your opinion in the comments.
For the Detective Pikachu event in Pokémon GO, there are new quests to solve, and these tasks pose real puzzles. This significantly improves the rather dull quest system of the game.
These are the new quests: The new tasks for the event require background knowledge about Pokémon. Tasks include “Catch the water Pokémon that is carried in a backpack” or “Catch the seed Pokémon that is walking in the river”.
These field research tasks revolutionize the rather dull quest system of Pokémon GO enormously. Previously, the quests were mostly commands and not so much puzzles. Now, more is required of you.
That’s why the new quests are so good for Pokémon GO
This is the problem with Pokémon GO: The game is viewed as very easy by many Pokémon fans. You don’t have to understand much about Pokémon to utilize all features in the game.
This may be sufficient for a relaxed evening stroll. However, for someone who really wants to be challenged in a game, Pokémon GO hardly offers the right tasks.
These new quests are great: Those who want to solve these tasks must have knowledge about Pokémon. For instance, Psyduck was the water Pokémon that was always carried in a backpack by Misty in the Pokémon anime.
Anyone who has watched the trailers for “Detective Pikachu” knows that Bulbasaur walks in the river.
It’s not the rewards from the quests or the difficulty in solving them, but the thinking involved in the tasks. This makes the new quests so interesting and good.
However, it must be noted: The tasks mainly reference the trailer for the current movie. It is certainly a marketing strategy aimed at promoting the film.
Nevertheless, Niantic demonstrates that they can offer more than just simple quests, and that they can hide little puzzles within these tasks. This is particularly interesting here.
The upper quest will enhance your knowledge of Pokémon.
How might it proceed? In upcoming events, more field research tasks may come where you need to apply your Pokémon knowledge. “Catch the Pokémon that is always sad” would be a good example. Anyone who knows the story understands that this refers to Shedinja.
Some field research tasks can also relate to Pokédex entries. For example, it states that Bulbasaur is a seed Pokémon. With this approach, many more tasks could be created.
Thus, there could also be future tasks that would test your knowledge of Pokémon. This would attract Pokémon fans who have so far considered the mobile game too simple.
Field research could become significantly more interesting in the coming weeks.
Of course, this is only a beginning. Nonetheless, this beginning could hold much promise and suggest further events that include such quests.
What do you think? Would such a quest approach be beneficial for the game?
In the current event, however, there are not only positive aspects. One Pokémon bothers many Europeans:
In Fortnite: Battle Royale seems that John Wick will play a role again soon. According to leaks, the cool assassin is getting his own event and even has a house in Season 9!
What kind of event is it about? According to data miners, a new event is planned called Wick’s Bounty. This is a mode where you need to kill opponents. However, for your kills to count, you need to collect coins that your dead opponents leave behind after they die.
Interestingly, there is also a new “Tactical Assault Rifle” coming soon, which according to the leak should also deal damage to opponents.
What else supports John Wick? The fact that Wick will soon play a role in Fortnite is further supported by another curious detail. In Paradise Palms, there is according to Reddit a house that looks exactly like John Wick’s house!
Source: Reddit
When is the event coming? If the Wick event really takes place, then late May would be the most likely date. Because on May 17, 2019, John Wick: Chapter 3 comes to US cinemas (the release here is on May 23), and if Epic has a partnership with the film studio, the event could appear as promotion for the movie release.
The Return of Wick
Who is John Wick? John Wick, played by Keanu Reeves, is a hitman who has actually retired. But when Russian gangsters steal his car and kill his puppy, he seeks bitter revenge.
In a marathon of violence and very cool fight scenes, Wick slashes through hordes of hapless gangsters in 2 films.
Due to his excellent fight choreography and surprisingly realistic shooting scenes, John Wick is considered a cult film among action fans.
What does John Wick actually do in Fortnite? When Season 3 was released in early 2018, there was to the surprise of all fans a skin at level 100, which although called “Grim Reaper”, looked extremely similar to John Wick.
The real Wick!
Quickly, the “Wick” became a hated skin, as according to many players it was primarily worn by “tryhards”, that is, humorless players who played for maximum effectiveness and preferred to shoot people who were just doing challenges or wanted to experience other fun events in the game. So to speak, what many players now consider to be the soccer skins.
I, Jürgen, was also killed by Wicks more often when I was collecting information for challenges or wanted to take screenshots. That was before the creative mode, and you had to play everything live in regular matches.
Wicks are real killers!
Nevertheless, many players do not have the Wick in their arsenal, as not everyone started with Season 3. Therefore, it will be interesting to see if Epic offers the Wick again in the shop and whether it will be the same skin as before.
This would be an absolute novelty, as so far skins from past Battle Passes have never returned. Therefore, it is more likely that there will be a “real” Wick when the event starts, and the unofficial “Grim Reaper Wick” remains exclusive to those who earned him in Season 3.
The search for Fortbytes is a new feature of Season 9 in Fortnite: Battle Royale. We will show you what to do.
What is new? With the start of Season 9, Fortnite has unlocked so-called Fortbytes in the game. These are puzzle pieces resembling microchips that can be unlocked through various actions or found on the map.

To focus on the current state of Anthem, the developers at BioWare have postponed some planned content indefinitely. Now the Community Manager has announced that the team is currently working on the Cataclysm content.
This is why content was postponed: After the difficult launch of Anthem, the developers at BioWare quickly announced new content. A roadmap was published to illustrate which features were supposed to be released when.
What are the Cataclysms? Even before the launch of Anthem, BioWare talked about world-changing events called Cataclysms. Anthem was compared to a Netflix series that evolves continuously and about which players should constantly talk.
These should center around story or world events that, for example, change the map of Anthem. With the Cataclysms that are triggered by the Anthem of Creation, new locations could emerge or be annihilated.
In story events, new characters might appear or familiar faces might die.
The whole thing is to be accompanied by new, smaller events that eventually lead into a Cataclysm.
This is why Cataclysms are important: The world events of Anthem should make up a large part of the game. BioWare had many ideas on how these events could change the world. But how Cataclysms will actually look, players still do not know today.
At the end of the open demo of Anthem in early February, there was a concluding event that was meant to give a small taste of what players could expect in the dynamic world. At that time, a red spot appeared in the sky over Bastion and a storm brewed. Later, special Titans appeared.
Despite the current problems, many players still want to know what the Cataclysms are about. If these world events can excite the Freelancers, BioWare could suddenly look good again and win back seemingly lost players.
However, the opposite could also happen if the Cataclysms are not worth the wait in the eyes of the players. The Cataclysms could thus decide the future of Anthem.
Numerous Guardians are currently hunting for the new exotic weapon “Perfected Outbreak” in Destiny 2 – the successor to Outbreak Prime from the first game. But how does the weapon perform in practice? Is the effort worth it?
Since the Weekly Reset on May 7, a new weapon has been on everyone’s lips – the exotic Pulse Rifle Perfected Outbreak. Whether you’re in the Crucible, Gambit, or Strikes, it feels like more and more players are apparently unable to put this weapon down.
However, this is not only due to the fact that the Guardians have the associated quest and further secrets to keep them busy. The weapon itself can also convince and is now considered by many fans to be one of the currently best primary weapons in Destiny 2.
Perfected Outbreak – How the new exotic weapon performs in practice
What makes this weapon special? Perfected Outbreak is an exotic pulse rifle for the kinetic slot. The rate of fire is 450.
The intrinsic perk “Corruption Spreads” generates swarms of SIVA nanites on kills from critical hits and rapidly consecutive hits. Kills with critical hits apparently create the largest SIVA swarms.
The precision perk “Parasitic” causes this weapon to deal more damage to enemies based on the number of SIVA nanites stuck to those enemies.
How the Prime successor performs in PvE
How does the weapon fare against AI? In combat against AI opponents, the weapon performs exceptionally well. It is excellent for pulverizing groups of smaller enemies with its SIVA swarms. But even Majors can be dealt with quickly and effectively. And even raid bosses melt away when the Perfected Outbreak is used against them in conjunction.
This is why the weapon is so strong in PvE: The reason for the strong PvE performance is the combination of both perks “Corruption Spreads” and “Parasitic”.
If you land precision kills or rapid hits, the homing SIVA nanite swarms first deal damage to the opponents themselves and simultaneously make them more vulnerable to further fire. This way, large clusters of enemies and single adds can be taken down in just moments.
Against Majors and bosses, the rapid successive hits are primarily utilized. You can simply keep your aim on a powerful enemy. The SIVA nanites will thus continually spawn and stick to the opponent. This will additionally harm and weaken the enemy.
If you play in a team and multiple members have the new weapon, all users of the Perfected Outbreak can benefit from the other SIVA nanites.
Watch the weapon in action here: What it means for combat against raid bosses can be seen in the following video by Sweatcicle. There, Emperor Calus melts away within seconds in the first damage phase – and this is noteworthy for a primary weapon. Although the Guardians also utilize the Well of Radiance, it doesn’t make the performance any less impressive:

Numerous players believe after their first experiences that Perfected Outbreak is set to become a top favorite for numerous boss encounters – whether in raids, Gambit, or Strikes.
This is how the weapon will get even better in the future: A Masterwork catalyst for Perfected Outbreak is already in the game. However, it cannot be fully earned yet. It will probably take several weeks until then.
But with the exotic catalyst, the weapon is expected to become significantly more powerful. With the catalyst, the SIVA nanite swarms deal more damage. Additionally, enemies that have nanites stuck to them at the time of a kill will spawn further nanites that will then seek targets. The full potential of the weapon in terms of damage and effectiveness has not yet been fully tapped.
How the Prime successor performs in PvP
What the weapon can do in the Crucible: As first Guardians report, this weapon is not only strong in PvE – it can also hold its own in Guardian duels.
While exact numbers or possible hidden perks are not yet available, as the weapon is still classified as secret in the database: the weapon handling is described by many as excellent, phenomenal, or like a laser – whether on PC or console. Especially with a controller, it is said to be one of the most stable pulse rifles in Destiny 2.
Additionally, the hitbox is said to be very generous. Critical hits are possible with ease as long as you keep the reticle on the chest. The weapon also has good range and the perk Outlaw, which reduces reload time for precise kills.
Without the nanites, a critical hit deals 25 damage and a body shot deals 16 damage. With eight crits, the time to kill is 0.87 seconds, and with 12 body shots, it’s 1.33 seconds.
This is how the weapon becomes really strong: Once the nanites come into play, the weapon can truly shine. A nanite sticking to an enemy increases damage to 29 per crit and 18 per body shot. This alone lowers the TTK through pure crits to 0.7 – 0.75 seconds.
Damage is also increased when additional nanites are added. However, it caps out at 44 damage per critical hit.
A kill generates nine nanites, each dealing 10 – 11 damage and additionally increasing damage against afflicted enemies. These SIVA swarms last about four seconds and pursue targets within a radius of about 8 meters.
If another opponent stands next to your victim at the time of the kill and receives all the nanites, you can easily take them out afterwards. If multiple enemies are nearby, you can take down a whole group with just a few salvos. Thus, the weapon is particularly effective against clusters of enemies.
More on the damage numbers can be found in this video from Drewsky’s channel:

Even in PvP, the weapon gets better: With the Masterwork catalyst, Perfected Outbreak is expected to become even deadlier in PvP. The additional nanites and their added damage should further reduce the TTK in some situations. The new Prime should also become more effective against multiple opponents.

In short: The weapon can impress in pretty much all modes based on initial impressions and is therefore well worth the effort. It is no coincidence that it is currently shaking up large parts of Destiny 2. Additionally, the weapon is expected to become even more powerful as a Masterwork in the future. If you have the chance or opportunity, you should definitely get the weapon.
In Fortnite: Battle Royale the shotgun “Pumpgun” has been removed from the game and has been replaced by a new pump called “Combat Shotgun”.
What is the new shotgun? Since Update 9.0 the new Combat Shotgun has been in the game. The weapon has the rarities “Rare”, “Epic”, and “Legendary”. So it’s not found at every corner.
It deals 73/77/81 damage and has a headshot multiplier of 1.7. This means that it can deal a maximum of 138 damage with a headshot. That’s significantly less than the old Pumpgun. The old one dealt 200 damage on a headshot and thus resulted in insta-kills.
However, the new weapon can shoot faster, has less spread, and a larger magazine that can hold 10 rounds and always loads 2 shells at a time.
What happened to the old shotgun? In return, the old Pumpgun was removed from the game. It was at most “Rare”, shot slower, and dealt a maximum of 200 damage on headshots.
This led to absurd kill rates in the statistics. 26 percent of all kills are said to have been credited to the Pump.
Therefore, Epic has now taken action and removed the Pumpgun from the game. The new Combat Shotgun essentially replaces it.
Fans find Epic’s decision stupid
This is how the community reacts to the removal of the Pumpgun: As soon as it became clear that the shotgun was out, there were angry reactions from fans. The Pumpgun was a legendary weapon from the beginning, and its disappearance was a slap in the face for many.
User Kevko Bangz says: “First, bring back the dumbest weapon of the spray-and-pray meta (yes, I know it was the community) and then remove pumps. I don’t get where Epic wants to go.”
Sentcore says: “The first significant weapon change that really pisses me off… “
How is the new shotgun received by fans? The new shotgun, on the other hand, is viewed with great anger by many players on Reddit. The damage is poor, and you can no longer score insta-headshot kills.
Is the new weapon really that bad? That remains to be seen. Because right now, many fans are simply still baffled and angry about the removal of the old pump. However, some players have already found advantages of the new weapon.
The range of the weapon is indeed very strong. As seen in a video from Reddit, it can still reliably demolish cover at long distances.
Other fans on Reddit praise the large magazine and the fast follow-up. With the new weapon, you can reliably farm kills. You just need a new strategy and can’t rely solely on a good headshot as a lucky shot.
It will still be seen how the new weapon finds its place in the meta or if Epic has to change everything back.
The new shotgun is not the only controversial weapon. The returned drum gun is still present in Season 9 and divides the players.
Fans of The Elder Scrolls Online and the Game of Thrones series have long noticed the similarity of the game logo to the symbol of the Dragon Queen Daenerys. What is behind it?
Which symbol is it about? If you look closely at Game of Thrones, you quickly notice that various people from Daenerys Targaryen’s entourage wear a special symbol. Especially the commander Grey Worm and Daenerys’ companion Missandei wear a ring consisting of three dragons that bite each other’s tails.
Grey Worm is on the far right. He wears the three-headed dragon as a symbol on his collar.
This is what the symbol looks like in ESO: Anyone familiar with the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) has also seen the symbol. Because the game’s logo looks very similar to that of Game of Thrones. Here, however, a dragon bites an eagle, and that in turn grabs a lion, which bites the dragon.
Since the two symbols look very similar, fans on Reddit are asking: “Are the creators of Game of Thrones perhaps ESO fans and have immortalized the symbol of their favorite game in the series?”
What’s behind the symbol
What is the basis of the symbol? In truth, neither ESO nor GoT probably invented the symbol, but rather adapted it for their purposes. Because the basic shape of the sign is probably the legendary Ouroboros.
This is Greek and stands for “tail-eating.” This refers to a snake (dragon) that bites its own tail. The symbol appeared in ancient Egypt and later became common in alchemy.
An Ouroboros from an ancient manuscript. Source: Wikipedia
In alchemy, the self-biting snake represented a cycle of constant transformations, for example, in which substances evaporate and condense again in a new form. The Ouroboros is also found in Masonic symbolism.
But the creature also appeared in other cultures. In Norse mythology, the Midgard serpent is described as a gigantic being that is so large that it encircles the world and bites its own tail at the end.
In Hinduism, there is also a giant snake that bites its own tail.
The Ouroboros fits both ESO and GoT
In ESO and Game of Thrones, the Ouroboros—each in its trinitarian form—fits very well with the background of the world and the political organizations:
The Ouroboros in ESO: In the game, there are three major alliances that formed after the collapse of the Empire:
The Ebonheart Pact with the symbol of a dragon
The Aldmeri Dominion under the banner of the eagle
The Daggerfall Covenant has a powerful lion as its symbol
All three factions fight each other in the game and “bite” each other. However, they still form a circle, as they all ultimately want to restore the old Empire, albeit under their own domination.
Additionally, the three factions at least at the end of the main story work together against the major villain Molag Bal, which again completes the circle.
The ESO logo showcases the three playable factions in a variety of ways, without favoring any of them. They are all equally present in the circle.
The Ouroboros in Game of Thrones: Anyone familiar with the lore of Game of Thrones and especially the books knows that the logo of House Targaryen is a three-headed dragon. Furthermore, Daenerys has three dragons. The number three of the dragons is also relevant in an important prophecy.
Although the Targaryen logo is never mentioned in this form in the book, the designers of the series have clearly oriented themselves on the shape of the Ouroboros. Possibly because the three dragons form the basis of Daenerys’ power and essentially create the circle around her realm.
But who knows, maybe the designers also played ESO and were inspired by it. Therefore, ESO community manager Gina Bruno responded on Reddit to the statement: “I suspect that the GoT characters are ESO fans…” with the words “They should be too!”.
Players have been wondering for quite a while what happened to one of the maps in Overwatch . Blizzard responded and only caused more confusion, before another answer then provided clarity.
What happened to Numbani? Numbani had been unplayable for several weeks. Players repeatedly noticed and reported this independently. Numbani seemed to be removed from all game modes:
Now, however, with the introduction of the new map Havana on May 7, Numbani is suddenly back in the map rotation for all modes.
Numbani
This is what Blizzard said: In the official forums, Overwatch developer Dan Maas spoke up. He explained the absence of Numbani as follows:
Since the arrival of Efi and Orisa in Numbani, some minor edits and maintenance in the Overwatch universe have been necessary. We have neglected this maintenance lately and service in Numbani has been interrupted. However, with the arrival of sunny Havana, service in Numbani has resumed (as it was before).
We appreciate the observant eyes of the community that noticed this and apologize for the delay.
Please continue to enjoy your Kofis Aromo and thank you for your patience!
This is how the fans reacted: This response caused even more confusion for many players than the disappearance of Numbani itself. Fans did not know what this response meant and suspected some revisions.
Among these was the suspicion that the changes to Numbani were reversed by the emergence of Doomfist. The entire airport was devastated by Doomfist. However, that still remains the case now.
Other fans suspected story or technical developments as teasers for one of the new heroes or other events. However, most agreed that the response did not explain much.
What Doomfist caused still remains.
This is the true reason: The US site Kotaku asked Blizzard about this reaction. Shortly afterward, a representative replied, stating:
Dan was simply a bit cheeky. Numbani was no longer in the rotation because there were some technical issues. Nothing else. Apologies for the confusion.
A perfect hat trick, securing the London club’s final ticket. On Reddit, fans hope for recognition of this achievement – either through a UCL Moments card or a hero card.
Lucas Moura scored his team into the final with three goals
A post comparing the match to an actual FIFA game received much support: “3:0, missed chances, hits the post – and in the end, POTM Lucas comes and scores a hat trick with his weak foot.”
The POTM card of Lucas was very popular at the beginning of the season, as he impressed with plenty of pace. It is very possible that he will receive an even better card now.
Speaking of good cards – there could be plenty coming soon. After all, the Team-of-the-Season event is starting soon:

With the introduction of the Champions League in FIFA 19, EA Sports also created the so-called RTTF cards. The crazy semifinals leave their mark in Ultimate Team.
This happened in the Champions League: In two insane semifinal matches, both Liverpool FC and Tottenham Hotspur fought their way into the Champions League final despite being at a significant disadvantage.
Liverpool defeated Barcelona 4:0 after a 0:3 loss in the first leg, while Tottenham overcame Ajax Amsterdam with a thrilling comeback from 0:2 down at halftime to win 3:2 – in the very last minute. This also made up for the 0:1 loss from the first leg.
Various special cards like the Team-of-the-Group-Stage and Team-of-the-Knockout-Stage versions of the players came with strong stats. However, it is particularly the Road-to-the-Final cards (RTTF) that excite FIFA players this season.
For the first time, FIFA introduced cards directly tied to success in the Champions League
Live Cards: The Best Innovation in Ultimate Team?
What makes the RTTF cards so special: Unlike most other special cards, RTTF cards are tied to specific performances. The further a player’s team progresses in the current competition, the stronger their card becomes.
For this reason, these cards are more popular among players than many other special cards that do not necessarily have a connection to real performances. Additionally, they enable clever trading, which, however, has been taken to absurd levels in the case of these semifinal matches.
This is what happened on the transfer market: Already on Tuesday, the Champions League caused price explosions on the transfer market. The RTTF cards of Liverpool players, which were thought dead after the 3:0 against Barcelona, saw prices rise significantly during the match:
On Wednesday evening, the story repeated itself after Tottenham also recovered from an almost insurmountable deficit. The special thing: The price fluctuated even during the match, as Ajax was comfortably leading 2:0 until halftime. Then, however, Tottenham struck back.
This is how the prices developed: “I bought four RTTF Aurier (Tottenham player) for 175,000 coins and sold them immediately for 205,000 after they scored the equalizer at 2:2. If only I had bought more,” a player reported on the FIFA subreddit.
If he had waited until the end of the match, he could have made even more coins – currently, Aurier is at 248,000 coins. But: “I didn’t dare to do that.” Even RTTF Davinson Sanchez jumped back significantly above the 400,000-coin mark after the match.
Davinson Sanchez is already one of the most popular players in FIFA 19 – and his value continues to rise
Such a turnaround wasn’t to be expected. Players who had Ajax defender RTTF Tagliafico in their team must have thought the same. His price at the moment Ajax was leading 2:0 was around 171,000 coins.
Now he can already be obtained for as low as 60,000 coins: “I sold mine for 200,000 during Ajax’s second goal after buying him for 110,000. I was just lucky,” a clever player celebrated on Reddit, who just managed to escape the price crash. Especially bitter: A few months ago, the development for Ajax was exactly the opposite.
Significantly fallen in value: Tagliafico
Of course, not every player has an RTTF card in their club or participated in the chaos of the transfer market. Nevertheless, it seems that people on Reddit generally agree: The live cards are among the best innovations in FIFA 19 – and should definitely return in FIFA 20.
Lucas Moura – will he get a hero card?
That’s why Lucas Moura could receive a hero card: Tottenham player Lucas Moura scored all of his team’s goals in the second half of the match.
Speaking of good cards – there could be plenty coming soon. After all, the Team-of-the-Season event is starting soon:
A perfect hat trick, securing the London club’s final ticket. On Reddit, fans hope for recognition of this achievement – either through a UCL Moments card or a hero card.

Season 9 of Fortnite is here and the map has undergone massive changes. We show you all the new locations on the island.
What has changed? After the volcano erupted at the end of Season 8 and destroyed two locations in Fortnite, new game worlds have now emerged there, designed in a futuristic style.
This is what the map looks like after the changes.
In addition to these two locations, there is now also a third new location in Season 9. In terms of biomes, not much has changed in Season 9. For example, the ice and desert biomes remain.
These locations are new in Season 9
Neo Tilted: Tilted Towers was demolished at the end of Season 8, but a new location quickly emerged! Neo Tilted towers with futuristic buildings and impresses with lots of bright lights and fun structures.
This is what Neo Tilted looks like
Mega Mall: Where Retail Row used to stand, you can now find a huge shopping mall called Mega Mall. You can enter this shopping center and find good loot in numerous shops. The open roof promises extra action, as enemies can attack you from here at any time.
Pizza Pit is one of the many establishments in Mega Mall
In front of the shopping mall is a huge parking lot that offers little cover. Here, your building skills are required.
Pressure Plant: After the volcano erupted at the end of the last season, it seems to be a bit quieter now. A new location has emerged directly in the volcano crater: Pressure Plant.
Research on lava is likely being conducted here – Pressure Plant
It looks like a research station is being set up here. There are no real houses, but structures supported on stilts. It remains to be seen if anything will be discovered here.
What you can find all over the map now: Across the entire island of Fortnite, a total of seven sky platforms have appeared. Their exact purpose is still unknown. For the challenges in week 1, you at least need to visit them.
The sky platforms are all over the map
Also new are the wind tunnels that whirl you through the air at lightning speed. They are spread across the map. You will especially find these tunnels at the new locations Mega Mall and Neo Tilted. You must also visit them for the weekly challenges.
What else has changed in patch 9, you can find here:
