In Destiny 2, the Season of the Wanderer has begun. With the new content came new lore that seems to suggest that players are suspects in the murder of Cayde-6.
Why is there an investigation? In the Season of the Wanderer, everything in Destiny 2 revolves around the titular Gambit leader. While players are excited that the mysterious guy has brought a new competitive mode to the Tower, other Guardians are skeptical.
In the new lore published by Bungie for the new season on their website, a Warlock of the Praxic Order attempts to have the Wanderer banished from the Last City. Warlock Aunor goes so far as to investigate the death of Cayde-6 with the help of our characters!
Is our Guardian involved in the death of Cayde-6?
Why should the Wanderer disappear? Warlock Aunor is trying in the new lore to convince the city’s leaders to remove the Wanderer from the Tower immediately. In their opinion, the Gambit leader poses a danger as great as that from Ghaul or the Taken King, Oryx.
The Wanderer would normalize interactions with the Taken. Some Guardians might have even turned rogue under the Wanderer’s influence and assumed the title ‘Dredgen’.
According to Aunor, the Wanderer is causing the Guardians to use the Taken as a weapon against other Guardians. And supposedly with the goal of killing their opposing Guardians.
According to the Praxic Order, the Wanderer brings corruption to the Tower.
Have Guardians died? While Zavala insists that no Guardians have died without returning, the lore proves the opposite: The Wanderer hires a team of Guardians to test his latest creation, Gambit Prime.
Three Guardians lost their lives during the test, and the Wanderer didn’t even flinch. Instead, he used the data from this test run to further adjust and improve the new mode.
Why should our Guardian be a murderer? After Aunor hits a brick wall with the city’s leaders regarding the banishment of the Wanderer, she checks the data from Cayde’s ghost to see if our Guardian had anything to do with the death of the Hunter leader.
Cayde was killed by the eight Barons at the beginning of Forsaken.
In the end, Aunor cannot prove any involvement from our Guardian. However, the fact that the Warlock conducted an investigation has also been noticed by the Wanderer, who enjoys eavesdropping on the city’s leaders in various disguises.
That the Gambit leader gets wind of the investigation was even intentional: Aunor is one of Ikora’s hidden agents. The two Warlocks know exactly that the Wanderer loves to hang around different places, gathering information about the events in the Tower.
What this means for the Tower, the Wanderer, or our Guardian is still not clear.

The Elder
Scrolls Online will soon celebrate the Fool’s Festival. There will be some extremely silly pets, costumes, and mounts.
What is the Fool’s Festival? From the end of March to early April, the Fool’s Festival takes place in ESO. It’s a kind of carnival in Tamriel, where the inhabitants of the world indulge in all kinds of jokes and mischief reigns.
In addition to in-game events, there will be special shop offers.
The next pet in ESO rocks!
What ridiculous offers are coming to the shop? To celebrate the Fool’s Festival, there will be a lot of new offers related to it in the ESO cash shop:
Sheogorath Statue: Until April 4, you can get the statue of the mad Daedric Prince Sheogorath. ESO Plus members can even get it for free!
Ponies: From March 21 to April 2, you can buy a pony as a mount. If you don’t like horses, you can also get dragons and a Guar lizard.
Fool’s Costume: If you want to frolic around as a grinning, colorful jester, you can get the fool’s costume during the short period from March 25 to 28. Additionally, there are separate fool caps, including the notorious “ass-with-ears fool cap”.
Fool’s Cap Monkey: From March 25 to 28, there’s also a cute little monkey as a pet. It wears a fool’s cap and is ready for all sorts of fun.
This is the highlight of the Fool’s Festival: All these cool items will be overshadowed by a pet that is unmatched in absurdity and is certainly one of a kind in the history of MMORPGs: the Pebble Friend!
Yes, this pet is a stone!
This is a pet that is absolutely low-maintenance and undemanding. No wonder, because the Pebble Friend is a stone! That’s right, you simply get a rock as a pet that follows you and otherwise does what stones do.
If you want to get the Pebble Friend, you should check the Crown Store of ESO between March 21 and April 2.
Wasn’t there something like this before? A similar pet was already in Guild Wars 2. However, the stone there had eyes and somehow lived. In ESO, they take it a step further and actually bring a stone!
Will you get the stone as a pet or do you think that’s too silly?
In Pokémon GO substantial changes have been made to the map with the latest update 0.137.1. We show you what is new and what features have also been added.
The change concerns: With the latest update, an updated version of the OSM map has also been included. Niantic relies on this map and creates the in-game map accordingly.
This change has also removed the mega nests that were appearing all over the world. Players can now play better in these areas.
This is also new: In addition to the redesign of the map, there are also numerous other features that have been added. You can now enter more commands into the search bar.
This is how the map changes
This is new on the map: The map update is not directly related to the update, however, this, like the update, was updated on the night of March 8th.
Check your region. There may be more spawns.
New streets and paths have been added, which could become new spawn points in the future
New areas have received spawn points
Some nests have been revised or newly added
Mega nests have been removed
This is the situation with the mega nests: The most popular mega nests in Germany are in Berlin. On one hand, the entire southwest of the city is a large nest, on the other hand, the whole west of the city.
This is due to a marking on the OSM map. This area was marked in such a way that Niantic’s system recognized it as a nest. Therefore, these areas were adopted.
This is now new: With the update of the OSM map, there are no more mega nests. The markings that had indicated the nests have been removed. Players in these regions can now catch significantly more different Pokémon than before.
This is what the huge nest in Berlin looked like back then. This is now history. Source: Spieletrend
These features are also new in the update
In addition to the major change to the OSM map, there are also smaller features that came with the update. We present the highlights here:
New search terms can be entered into the bar
“baby” shows all baby Pokémon in your list
“hatched” shows all Pokémon from eggs
“withitem” shows all Pokémon that can be evolved with evolution items
The Spinda form from the Valentine’s Day event will now be displayed in the PokéDex; as well as 11 more slots for forms that will come

A streamer has now been banned on Twitch for cheating in his matches while playing Apex Legends. In the end, he was caught in his own streams.
This is the streamer in question: The Argentine streamer “MOBADOS” regularly hosts streams on Twitch. However, some viewers noticed that he was hitting unexpectedly well. He shoots so accurately that some viewers believe that third-party software must have been used.
On Reddit, some players discussed this, and Twitch reacted: They banned the streamer from their platform.
How the streamer caught himself
How it all came to light: Some of the Argentine’s streams were just too good. He easily took down opponents and hardly missed a shot.
One stream, in particular, stood out:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSPCvQk-oeg
For many players, this behavior could only be explained by someone using cheats.
They asked about it in the comments, but the streamer quickly deleted those inquiries. This made the situation even more peculiar.
What players suspect: On Reddit, a player shared the noticeable clips from the stream and received much support for it. Many players are convinced that the Argentine used two pieces of software:
Aimlock: This software makes aiming easier. It directly targets the opponent, and even if they move, they cannot be lost from the crosshairs.
Norecoil: This prevents almost all weapon recoil, allowing for straight shooting.
This fueled the rumors: Under the Reddit post, an older video of the streamer was also shown, where cheating was a topic as well. In it, you can see more clips that confirm his cheating:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPSzNwl1jms
This is how Twitch reacted: After all the commotion surrounding MOBADOS, the streaming platform also reacted. They quickly closed the channel of the Argentine. Now he can no longer stream there.
He was previously a “Partnered Streamer” on Twitch – the closure of his channel means a significant setback for him.
Respawn has already announced that they want to take stronger action against cheaters:
Many players in Anthem have reached the endgame and are chasing masterwork and legendary items. A player now claims to have discovered the magic formula for item drops: It’s the enemies!
What’s so great about 44 legendaries?On the Anthem Subreddit, the player moosee999 states that he has received 44 legendary items in 50 hours. That’s quite something, as Reddit often features reports from freelancers who, after over 100 hours in Anthem, have yet to see a single legendary item.
In moosee999’s opinion, he has so many powerful items because he has figured out that the drop rate in Freeplay heavily relies on the enemies you are fighting.
Do players really have less chance of getting powerful items in activities?
This is what the player claims to have discovered: According to the player, the different enemies are divided into different classes: foes associated with a task, event, or quest, and enemies that can simply be encountered in Freeplay. An exception here are Titans, Ursix, Enlightened, and Fury, which seem to have their own loot pool.
Enemies that are tied to a task or event supposedly have a lower chance of dropping a legendary item. Players might only hope for the reward chest that appears upon completion of the activity.
Random enemies are said to have a higher chance of dropping legendary gear, as they are not bound to events or loot chests.
Titans seem to possess their own loot pool just like Ursix, Enlightened, and Fury.
How did the player test this? The player went to the Eidolon tree in Freeplay and fought with the two Scar camps there. If all enemies are defeated, elite enemies appear. If all elite enemies are killed, a Brute appears, which always drops loot.
Next, he went to the Stronghold Tyranny Mine and claims that the Brutes in that stronghold only occasionally have loot. In his opinion, this is because the enemies there are part of the Echo tasks, which are rewarded with a chest at the end.
The freelancer claims to have spent 80 percent of the time on difficulty level GM1.
This is what the player recommends: moosee999 states that all his 44 legendaries come from random enemies in Freeplay or the four super enemies Titans, Ursix, Enlightened, and Fury. Allegedly, none of his items came from enemies from World Events or task-related enemies in strongholds. However, he has already pulled legendary items from reward chests.
Most of his items were obtained through the various enemy camps in the open world. But also the mini-dungeons in Freeplay, known as “Hidden Places,” should be quite fruitful according to him. Players should look out for elite enemies as well as legendary creatures.
Here’s another efficient method to obtain masterwork and legendary items:
A MMORPG guild in the classic Everquest apparently paid rapper Ice-T to record a message. He harshly insults the guild’s rivals and flames them in a video message.
What is this about? Apparently, the guilds “Amtrak” and “Faceless” are at odds with each other in some way.
On a special, time-limited progression server of Everquest (1999), the two guilds are competing in an “epic battle” to contest dominance on a new server, as reported by mmorpg. It will likely be about who becomes the number one guild on the server.
This is happening to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Everquest on the server “Selo.” The server will open on March 16th and then gradually progress through the various expansions of Everquest on the first Wednesday of each month, receiving new content.
Both guilds apparently intend to claim this server for themselves. This has already been made clear in advance.
And it seems that the Faceless guild has decided to spice up the rivalry with some “trash talk.”
Therefore, they posted a video titled “Message for Amtrak” in the forum of the progression server.
For $200, the rapper and actor Ice-T can be booked.
This is what Ice-T says: He starts off by saying that the “motherfuckers” from Amtrak have no idea how to play video games. If those little bitches aren’t ready by the 16th, they’ll have a real problem. Because Faceless would destroy them, drag them around, and make sure they stop playing video games.
Then the motherfuckers would have more time to read books. They must have missed that because they just play games all the time, according to Ice-T.
Everquest is turning 20 this year and is celebrating it with progression servers.
This is the reaction: Generally, everyone is quite excited about the creative idea of involving a celebrity to spice things up.
The participants are having fun – and those not involved say “I would love to play on Selo.”
On the website Cameo, a video from Ice-T can be booked.
Why is Ice-T doing this? It is a service he offers. You can order a video from Ice-T through the website “Cameo.” It costs $200.
This is mostly used to send an extravagant birthday greeting. Faceless apparently had other plans.
This is Ice-T: Ice-T is now 61 and started early in the 80s as a rapper. In recent years, he has mainly been seen as an actor in the TV series “Law and Order: Special Victims Unit,” where he plays the police officer Odafin “Fin” Tutuola.
Apex Legends currently only offers the option to join a squad of three players. If you queue alone, you get two “randoms”, and it often doesn’t go well. If you’re struggling with your teammates, we have 7 tips for better rounds.
Why the tips? Our tips are designed to help you win more easily. We will show you tricks and techniques that can help you perform better in your rounds and generally create a better game for you and your teammates.
[toc]
1. Use meaningful Pings
One of the most important things in Apex Legends and any other battle royale is communication. If your team doesn’t communicate and point things out, you have little chance of winning.
Use it to share important information with your teammates. Point out weapons or ammo, mark enemies or locations that have already been looted, to possibly adjust your route. The important thing is: ping wisely. No one needs a Mozambique. Don’t forget that you have more than one different ping for various situations in the selection wheel.
The various pings in Apex Legends.
2. Stay close together
A mistake many players make is going too far away from their teammates. If you play solo, it’s possible that the other two players are playing together. They might be in voice chat together and have better communication.
So, just stay close to them, even if you may have developed a seemingly better plan than your teammates might have. Together you are always stronger and your chances of winning are higher.
Just make sure you’re spread out enough to cover a lot of ground and not steal loot from each other. At the same time, you should stay close enough to support each other when things get rough.
The map of Apex Legends is large. Don’t spread out too much.
3. Use your abilities for the team
Each legend in Apex Legends has unique abilities. The abilities are more or less useful and better or worse in certain situations. The important thing is that you know them and use them correctly.
If you play the popular healer Lifeline, use your healing and her Care Package not just for yourself but for the team. A well-equipped and strengthened team is advantageous in encounters with other players.
Make sure to use your abilities sensibly. Wraith’s portal can be used for attacking, escaping, or even as a trap. Legends such as Bangalore and Bloodhound have a strong synergy. Take advantage of that.
Pathfinder’s abilities are widely considered useless, but even a zipline can have its benefits when used correctly.
4. Distribute the loot wisely
When you’ve just landed and want to loot, the loot should be distributed as evenly as possible. You gain nothing if you are already running around with two good weapons while your teammates have nothing or only a Mozambique, which is so bad that a meme culture has developed around it.
If every teammate has at least one decent weapon, fights go better. You also don’t have the problem of having to loot your teammates while enemies are still swarming around you. The likelihood is higher that the enemies have already been killed or at least heavily wounded enough to no longer pose a threat.
The distribution is also important later on. Distribute the loot evenly and let the player with the largest backpack carry health items. Give the appropriate ammo to those who need it and share the loot. A good rule of thumb is:
4-5 slots for ammo, depending on weapons
One slot each for a whole stack of every healing and shield item
In Apex Legends, there are many ways to win and many tactics you can use to achieve that. However, if you play solo, it often happens that your teammates can’t or won’t tell you how they are playing.
Keep an eye on how they behave. If they play aggressively, you might do well to support them from a distance as a sniper. If they play defensively, you should stay close to them and only attack together.
Even if you play solo, you’re not alone. Your team is with you and helps, just as you should help your team. If you get knocked down, even instantly killed, or don’t get your preferred legend, don’t just leave the game.
Give your teammates a chance to revive you or show you that they are better than you think. If you leave the game, you are exactly that player who frustrates you in your rounds. This may also promote your current teammates to behave the same way.
If you stay in the game, you’ll have both more exciting rounds and a higher chance of finishing the match with a win or at least a higher placement.
If someone just quits, it can be very frustrating.
7. Plan your fights carefully
One of the most important tips, which applies not only to solo players, is the planning of fights. It is more about which fight you should seek and which you should avoid. As a general rule: Don’t seek an encounter that you cannot win.
It is important to pay attention to where your team is and how your teammates are doing. If you are alone or your colleagues are injured or poorly equipped, avoid enemies. If you are armed to the teeth, attack and dismantle your opponents together.
Running headfirst into a group of enemies won’t get you far if you don’t have support. Only start a fight when you’re about to attack together or pull back when you sense that no support is coming from your colleagues.
Good teamwork helps to win.

Dropped demand, clearance of older graphics cards, and price competition among current models make upgrading particularly attractive, especially in the mid-range segment. In addition, there are currently two hardware-hungry top titles launching with Anthem and the upcoming The Division 2.
Why are graphics cards currently relatively cheap? According to market researchers from Jon Peddie Research, manufacturers are still struggling with high inventory levels and a decreased demand following the boom around computing cryptocurrencies. According to forecasts, it is not expected that this will change in the first or second quarter of this year.
This graphics in GTA 5 (with mod) is celebrated, but you need a powerful graphics card for that.
Currently, a major shift in the market is only expected in the fall when AMD is set to launch its new graphics processors featuring “Navi” architecture. At that point, there should be noticeable changes in the high-end sector starting from around 500 Euros, while currently, the mid-range is particularly interesting for the common gamer.
As with almost any PC hardware and its comparatively short relevance in terms of performance, interested parties should not keep waiting indefinitely, but buy when they need the performance: Otherwise, based on experience, upgrading will never happen.
Play as cheaply as possible – Which budget graphics card is worth it?
What should be the minimum graphics card? In terms of performance, ambitious gamers should not settle for a graphics card below the GeForce GTX 1060 and less than 6 GB of video memory if smooth frame rates in Full HD resolution without reduced graphics details are required for current games.
The model is being cleared out and will disappear from the market sooner or later, with prices in price comparison starting at around 200 Euros, such as in the case of the Zotac GeForce GTX 1060:
Alternative with free games: An equally worthwhile and often comparably powerful alternative is offered by AMD with the Radeon RX 580, which also provides a slightly more future-proof video memory variant with 8 GB, although its energy efficiency is lower.
The prices for the RX 580 start at around 185 Euros, for example for the PowerColor Radeon RX 580 Red Dragon V2. Additionally, it is currently possible to grab two games as download codes upon purchase, with The Division 2, Resident Evil 2, and Devil May Cry 5 available as options.
The wide-ranging mid-range in performance comparison
It can also be a bit more: Those who need slightly more power for achieving the highest frame rates and also for gaming at WQHD resolution (2560 x 1440 pixels) currently have many options in the higher price range: Currently, the new GTX 1660 Ti, the RTX 2060, AMD’s Radeon RX Vega 56, and the GTX 1070, which is being cleared out, are all competing with relatively small performance and price differences.
The differences in features and performance of NVIDIA’s new and last generation of graphics cards have already been detailed in our market overview of current gaming laptops:
The colleagues from Gamestar.de have since averaged the FPS values of the mentioned graphics cards in Full HD and WQHD across various games during their testing of the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti:
Based on this, the following purchasing recommendations can be roughly made:
Buy a GTX 1660 Ti if the RTX features of Ray Tracing and DLSS anti-aliasing are not needed and your budget is around around 260 Euros. Additionally, this model is also the most energy-efficient. For example:
Buy a GTX 1070 if a good deal appears in clearance for under under 300 Euros and more future-proofing is preferred in terms of larger video memory (and the RTX features do not matter). For example:
Buy an RX Vega 56 for around 300 Euros, if the three free games (The Division 2, Resident Evil 2, and Devil May Cry 5) along with 8 GB video memory are tempting, and the absence of RTX features and a higher power consumption are not concerns. For example:
Buy an RTX 2060 starting at around 340 Euros, if you want the best possible performance with good energy efficiency in the mid-range and Ray Tracing and DLSS anti-aliasing are relevant in the games you play (Overview). Currently, there are also either Metro Exodus, Battlefield V, or Anthem as download codes available with participating partners. For example:

“Dear diary, today I was chased by xXpussyslayer14Xx for 2 hours” is one of the funny lines this player writes in their diary for Red Dead Online. It is very much in the style of what Arthur Morgan does in Red Dead Redemption 2 – but much funnier.
What kind of diary is this? About 2 weeks ago, user ps4noob92 on Reddit shared a picture titled “If my online character had a diary …” and received a lot of support for it. In a book, the player records, with their own drawings and texts, what situations their online character has encountered.
Because Red Dead Online is a multiplayer game with a strong PvP component, interesting stories often emerge.
These diary entries he writes: In the first entry, the player writes: “So today I got shot in the face while gathering herbs … I lost my hat, but somehow survived. I then spent 2 hours hunting xXpussyslayer14Xx.”
A diary entry for the online character in Red Dead Online
Another entry is about fishing: “I love fishing. Nothing calms me down as much as the sounds of water and the feeling of being one with nature. It’s therapy.
Now just imagine how surprised I was when I found out that I was fished.”
Here the player shows their fishing adventure
The love for the horse – diary part 3: “My horse Tim is a good boy. He takes me where I want to go, day and night. He carries my furs around and comes when I whistle. I love him.
But sometimes I could swear that the boy wants to see me dead …
Here you see the horse Tim, as it abandons its rider in an attack
Diary part 4 – Brutal online world: “I lost my hat again.
And my head too”
A deadly scene shows the encounter with another character in Red Dead Online
What inspired him? In the single player of Red Dead Redemption 2, Arthur Morgan regularly pulls out his diary and enters interesting things that happened to him or that he saw. He also makes drawings, like in this cool Easter egg.
This served as inspiration for the player ps4noob92 for his online diary. He uses stories that he has personally experienced or read on Reddit.
A next entry is probably already in the works. Under the fourth part, a player writes that the artist should make a post about the Puma glitch. “Thanks for the idea. I’ll see what I can do,” replied this one.
The Puma glitch caused quite a stir in the community:
In Pokémon GO, the first hints about the new transformer Rotom have been found. A data miner discovered initial icons for this Pokémon from the 4th generation.
This is the Pokémon in question: The transformer Rotom comes from the 4th generation:
The special thing is that Rotom can take on the forms of electrical devices. For example, there is a washing machine or a lawnmower version of Rotom.
This has been found: A data miner from LeekDuck found in the code of the latest update of Pokémon GO 6 icons, all labeled “Rotom”.
This has been found about Rotom
This is what the icons look like: The 6 icons that were found show one thing: There will be different forms of Rotom in Pokémon GO and not just the normal form:
Is Rotom coming now? So far, only these 6 icons for Rotom have been found. The actual sprites, which show what Rotom will look like in the game, have not yet been found. In addition, other things like the moves or sounds of the Pokémon are also missing.
It will take some time before Rotom arrives. However, it shows that work is already being done on this Pokémon and that it will obviously come to Pokémon GO in all 6 forms.
This is how Rotom was obtained in other games: It will definitely be interesting how Niantic intends to implement Rotom in Pokémon GO. In the console games, the normal form of Rotom could only be caught in specific locations. The Rotom could only be transformed in the “Rotom room”, a secret room where the respective electrical devices were located.
How this feature will be implemented in Pokémon GO remains to be seen. There are currently no special areas in the mobile game.
The first legendary lunch break in Pokémon GO is coming soon:
In Apex Legends, there is a weapon that is considered the best in the game: the Wingman. The weapon has been nerfed in the new patch. However, while casual players rejoice, professionals like Shroud are not particularly thrilled about the new version of the Wingman.
Which weapons are we talking about? If you ask any Apex player about their favorite weapon, there is a high chance they will enthusiastically shout “Wingman” right away.
Because the hefty hand cannon is precise and extremely deadly. Players like the “human aimbot” Shroud can wipe out entire squads with it, and even less talented players swear by the weapon. It is basically the “Anti-Mozambik.”
As the pistol has been rated extremely well, it has now been nerfed in the new Apex Legends patch. However, what many casual players are happy about has found less support among professionals.
Wingman and Peacekeeper have been nerfed.
These are the changes to Wingman and Peacekeeper
This is how the Wingman has been nerfed: The nerf that has recently hit the servers has taken some of the firing rate from the Wingman. It now fires 2.6 shots per second instead of 3.1. Additionally, the Skullpiercer headshot modifier has been reduced from 2.5 to 2.25.
Since the firing rate is now reduced, you need to be more careful about where you aim. This is well-received by some casual players. For example, the site Kotaku writes that you now aim more carefully with the Wingman and become even better.
What the professionals say: Professionals like the already mentioned super player Shroud, on the other hand, find the change ridiculous and still consider the weapon way too good. The nerf is almost unnoticeable.
They should have properly nerfed the fire rate hard or just left it alone. In that case, they should have reduced the damage instead.
The issue with the Skullpiercer, on the other hand, would have been completely irrelevant, and this nerf is particularly useless.

This is changing with the Peacekeeper: The Peacekeeper is also firing slower now. Additionally, both the Peacekeeper and the Wingman are now found less frequently in the game.

That’s why Season 6 is only just starting: Since March 5, the Season of the Drifter has been running. Numerous Guardians have already jumped into the new activities Gambit Prime and Reckoning to see what the season has to offer.
However, you still don’t see a large part of the new content in the game. In fact, the Reckoning mode really gets going only next week.

Mark these dates for next week
This all starts next week:
On March 12 (Tuesday), a new map for Gambit Prime will be released

Reckoning Level 3 as intense endgame content
This is how Reckoning changes: Reckoning is a fast-paced PvE mode where you need to kill many enemies as quickly as possible while keeping an eye on the time. Currently, you can only play Level 1, which always takes place in the same arena.
This is how Level 2 will be: Starting today, March 8, Level 2 begins. From now on, the challenges and rewards in Reckoning are said to rise significantly, according to Bungie. Level 2 delivers increased difficulty, additional objectives, more areas, and a new boss that you must face.
This is how Level 3 will be: On March 15, it will really kick off. Level 3 of Reckoning begins then. This is considered endgame content with a required power level of 680.
Level 3 should be a worthy challenge for all Guardians approaching the new max power level of 700. You can expect enemies at power level 690, so equip your best gear.
Bungie recommends forming a fireteam in advance for better coordination. However, there is also matchmaking like in the lower levels.
From trailers, we know that in Reckoning, such jump passes will come…
This is what Bungie says about the Thorn quest:The Thorn quest starts on March 12. You need to follow a clue at a mysterious location in the EDZ. Find the location to start the search for Thorn. Bungie refers to the search as a “journey” – the quest is expected to be extensive.
From press materials, we know that in Season 6, a character named “The Shadow” will appear, who wields the Thorn and is associated with the Drifter:
Shadow in Destiny 2
This is what Bungie says about the Gambit map: The new Gambit Prime map will be released on March 12 and is called “Overboard” – in English “Deep Six”. It is located on Titan. You can get a short glimpse in this video:

What we know about the invitations from the Nine: On March 15, Xur will simultaneously bring you an invitation from the Nine with the launch of Reckoning Level 3. This invitation leads to a bounty called “Into the Unknown,” where you can complete various tasks to learn more about the background of the Nine and earn powerful rewards.
Xur will bring an invitation every Friday for nine weeks. This can be completed once per character.
Note: All of this content is season pass exclusive. When you check the Season 6 content in the game in the top right corner of the navigator, the Thorn quest will also be displayed as season pass exclusive.
So Season 6 still has a lot to offer. The meaty content will only come next week. And in the following weeks, events and further content releases are scheduled:
In Anthem, inscriptions are important for your gear. However, they are extremely vaguely formulated and are hardly explained in the game. Now, Bioware has finally published a Reddit post that explains them to you.
This is what Bioware explains: Inscriptions are the traits and perks of your gear. There are a variety of different values that can optimize your weapons and skills in different directions.
Until now, these inscriptions have been very opaque and are not really explained anywhere in the game. For this reason, Bioware has now written an extensive Reddit post that explains the inscriptions.
BioWare has finally explained what inscriptions are all about.
Guide finally explains how inscriptions work
This is how inscriptions affect your gear: The guide to inscriptions finally answers many fans’ questions and clarifies the effect of an inscription.
Many players did not realize that the gear symbol behind an inscription means that this inscription only applies to the specific piece of equipment it belongs to.
If, however, there is a symbol with a Javelin image behind the inscription, the inscription is permanently active. For example, if you have an inscription on a weapon that increases physical damage and it also has a Javelin icon, the physical damage bonus applies even when you are not actively using that weapon.
This is how weapon and equipment damage is calculated: Bonuses must also be accounted for with the base damage of the respective piece of equipment; the display only shows the original value.
If a weapon has 1044 base damage and additionally 125% weapon damage as an inscription, you need to calculate the actual damage value yourself.
The same applies to skills that have a bonus for equipment damage.
These are the inscriptions on your equipment
Inscriptions have categories
This is how inscriptions are divided: The post also explains that inscriptions are divided into several categories.
The lower the category, the weaker the inscription. The category of your inscriptions depends on the rarity level of your equipment and is divided into Primary and Secondary:
Minor
Major
Epic
This table from Bioware shows you how the categories are divided across equipment tiers:
What is the difference between primary and secondary inscriptions? Primary inscriptions achieve significantly higher values than secondary inscriptions.
The inscription tier additionally determines how high such a value can be. The highest values are accordingly epic primary inscriptions, which can only be achieved by legendary equipment.

Warframe released its first new character in 2019. It is a female Warframe named Hildryn. She is not only large and imposing, but she is also the ultimate tank!
What is Hildryn? Imagine the bodybuilder Zarya from Overwatch as a biomechanical combat machine, and you have an idea of Hildryn. The new frame is a massive figure that would likely overshadow even the thick Rhino.
What is special about Hildryn? Similar to her colleague Rhino, Hildryn is designed as a tank. However, she uses a unique, new gameplay mechanic: she has no energy gauge. When you collect energy orbs, her shields are charged.
Hildryn’s shields are the strongest in the game so far. However, she uses the shields to activate her skills. You must constantly weigh whether you can sacrifice shields to activate powerful abilities or if you need the shields for something else.
A mix of tank and damage
What are Hildryn’s abilities? Hildryn plays somewhat like Zarya from Overwatch. She can primarily use her shields to protect herself and allies:
Shield Wall: Hildryn’s shields absorb the shields of enemies and return them to her.
Sanctuary: You create a shield around an ally. If they are attacked, the attacker takes damage.
Fireball: Hildryn charges a fire projectile and hurls it at the enemy. However, this costs you shields.
Aegis Storm: Hildryn’s ultimate allows her to hover in the air and rain down fireball projectiles. Enemies in the vicinity are also lifted into the air and lose energy orbs.
How do you get Hildryn? To obtain the blueprint for Hildryn, you need to reach T5 rank with Vox Solaris, which requires quite a bit of grinding. After that, you must farm the components for Hildryn from the Exploiter Orb.
Hildryn is also available in a bundle with plenty of stuff.
Alternatively, you can purchase Hildryn directly from the shop for 325 Platinum. That costs about 15 Euros. This way, you get Hildryn directly into your Warframe inventory without grinding.

How is Hildryn received by players? Hildryn’s playstyle and abilities are well-received by most players. There is excitement for a unique new playstyle. Additionally, many players praise the design of Hildryn as a female Warframe with the physique of a muscle-bound individual.
However, many players groan and sigh at the thought of grinding for the frame and the associated requirements.
In Fortnite, the most expensive skin in the game is the iKONIK skin. It’s actually tied to a ridiculously expensive smartphone from Samsung. However, due to a glitch, Mobile players could snag it for free. Epic reacted coolly.
Originally, the skin in Fortnite was supposed to only be obtainable by pre-ordering a very expensive smartphone from Samsung: The new flagship smartphone from Samsung, the S10+, costs over €1200.
The Ikonik skin in Fortnite – actually strictly regulated.
Why did some get it for free? Due to a glitch, the iKONIK skin was displayed for $0 in the Fortnite Cash Shop, but only for Mobile players using a Samsung device.
This is how Epic reacted: In the thread on the subreddit where the topic was discussed, a community coordinator from Epic spoke up. He said:
“There was a mistake in how the outfit pack was distributed through the mobile launcher, causing the pack to be displayed for free for a limited time.
If you got the skin, you can keep it.”
This skin was also tied to a phone and was very rare: Galaxy (Samsung Promo)
How many got it for free? The skin was:
only visible to mobile users
they also needed to have a Samsung device
and had to randomly check the cash shop within a very short time frame
Players talk about “a few minutes” before the error was noticed and the iKONIK skin disappeared from the cash shop.
The number of players who received the €1200 skin for free is likely very small. Maybe it’s just the creator of the reddit posting.
That’s why Epic seems to be reacting so cool; if thousands had really claimed the skin, the outcome might have been different.
This is how players react: The best comment from a user is: “This is nonsense! Take the skin away from him or give us another chance at it. I wish I had known about this beforehand; I would have grabbed it too.”
