The field research in March has not changed. Many Pokémon GO players are annoyed about this. The quests are cool, but also boring in the long run.
That’s why the quests are annoying: For January and February there were new field researches in Pokémon GO. These were supposed to be changed again in March, but so far they are still the same.
Many players are now annoyed and wish for some variety in the quests. After all, they have been the same for the third month now.
This is what the players think of the quests in March 2019
The quests have been running for this long now: On Reddit, many players are sure that the field research will not only run for March but also for April. This would fit with the new research breakthroughs for March and April.
This is a selection of Pokémon that you can get from field research.
Players are disappointed: Many players are disappointed with the field research. “BrianSpencer1” writes: “Since quests are one of my favorite aspects of the game, I’m very disappointed.”
Another player writes: “I would love new quests. Especially those that bring other Gen 4 Pokémon than Bidiza.”
“We have had these quests for 2 months already, and we will have the same ones for another 2 months? No! Why are they trying so hard to mess it up! Same outdated research breakthroughs for 2 months (4 months even for the dogs) and the same quests for 4 months? No, just no,” writes another player.
Many players are now like this Pikachu: Annoyed
That’s why it’s all the more sad: In early January, Niantic was praised by the community for finally making the field research appealing to the broad masses.
Now Niantic wants to take advantage of this praise and extends the quests by 2 months. This pleases hardly any player.
At least this is new: There is a small innovation in the quests. There is a new Pandir form. Number 5 no longer appears and is replaced by Number 2.
The new Pandir form Number 2
Do you want an overview of all quests for March 2019? You can find it here:
Without much announcement, the FUT Player Days started last Friday in FIFA 19. Although the event brought cheap packs and an Inform Best Of, the community is divided – was it a great event?
Here were the FUT Player Days: The FUT Player Days ran all last weekend and end this Monday. The highlight: The best Inform cards of the current season were back in packs.
The best Inform cards of the season were included again
Additionally, packs were particularly cheap. Half-price offers or two-for-one deals dominated the shop, and some of the best packs were available at particularly low prices.
Moreover, there were also gifts: Depending on the number of days played so far, there was even a Ultimate Set for free in the best case.
“Finally, EA is doing something right”
The community liked this: The event program was completed by worthwhile puzzle SBCs, more Prime Icon Moments SBCs, and gifts in the Companion and Web App. In short: It was possible to get a lot of packs with relatively low coin investment.
In the FIFA subreddit, some voices expressed happiness about finally being able to strike properly in the shop – because normally, buying packs with coins is not worth it at all. The free packs also brought joy – even if in the end, there were no strong players inside.
Packs and rewards through simple play: Yet some players even pulled one of the TOTW players or, quite unexpectedly, an Icon card. For these players, the event was a complete success. Additionally, there are the new weekly tasks that are also interesting.
For example, it is possible to earn a Draft Token – an option that players have been wanting for a long time. Stylish jerseys and a particularly strong pack are also included. So it is possible to earn good rewards simply by playing, without having to spend money.
The new Swap Deals with event players released as part of the event were also well received by many – but as often in FIFA 19, this coin has two sides. Many players criticized the latest event in the FIFA series.
“Can you pull them too?!”
The community did not like this: Even if the packs only cost half – to pull top cards, you still need a huge amount of luck. So there were also many players who bought massive amounts of packs and ended up getting nothing. A problem that is criticized in most events.
A user on Twitter commented, for example: “Can you pull them too? 6 x 125 k packs and no walkout – in the most expensive pack in the game. You should really be ashamed of ripping off people like this.”
A walkout is spoken of when a player runs out from behind the card during a pack opening or jumps in from the side of the screen. This animation is only triggered by the best and most expensive players, which is why every fan wants to see the walkout animation when opening a pack.
Unfortunately, he was also not in every pack during the Player Days: Kylian Mbappé
Player Days with mini market crash: For some, the Best Of Informs themselves posed a problem. One player, for example, had just bought IF Lewandowski for 370,000 coins. But during the event, the Bayern forward was suddenly only worth 220,000 because he was available in packs again. Good for the players who want to buy him now – but bad for all sellers. A glimmer of hope: Most players assume that the event cards will soon increase in value again once the Player Days are over.
But does this also apply to Leon Goretzka’s Ones-to-Watch- card? This card is earnable for everyone within the FUT Swap Deals – and promptly dropped in value by 40,000 coins. No wonder that players who wanted to sell the card soon were upset.
With the recent playlist update, a popular playlist has been removed in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 on PC. Many players are wondering and discussing the reasons.
What has been removed from Black Ops 4? Recently, as part of the new Operation Grand Heist, there was an update for the multiplayer playlists. The PC received special treatment. The changes were different than on the consoles PS4 and Xbox One.
In this case, the developers at Treyarch removed all individual game modes on PC and combined them into so-called overarching Moshpit playlists with other modes. Formats like Domination or Hardpoint can no longer be played individually.
Even the classic mode par excellence, Team Deathmatch, is no longer playable as a standalone playlist on PC. It has been combined with Kill Confirmed in the Deathmatch Moshpit playlist, which particularly displeases many fans.
How are fans reacting? Many fans are disappointed. Although there are no longer individual modes playable on PC, the removal of Team Deathmatch as a standalone selected mode particularly frustrates many fans.
Many associate this cult mode with the classic “Call of Duty” experience. Not everyone is keen to collect tags or play objective-based modes; they just want to focus on kills.
Before the launch of Black Ops 4, Treyarch promised to take the wishes and needs of the PC community into account more strongly. For some fans, the current development is the exact opposite of those words.
What does the combination mean for players? Many would connect the Team Deathmatch mode directly with the classic “Call of Duty” experience. However, it can now only be played interchangeably with Kill Confirmed, which is not exactly popular among many deathmatch enthusiasts.
This now either leads to having to endure this unpopular mode and take part in it reluctantly or to leaving matches more often and searching for a new lobby where Team Deathmatch is currently available or being played. None of this is comfortable or player-friendly.
Other previously individually playable modes also suffer from exactly this problem.
What are the reasons for the removal? There was no official explanation other than “improving the multiplayer experience”.
Regarding the reasons for the merging and the removal of individual formats, players assume that it is directly related to the player population on PC.
Unfortunately, the numbers are not visible. However, PC players have increasingly reported that it has taken longer to find a full match or fill a lobby in some modes recently.
By merging different modes into a common overarching playlist, players would be able to find new teammates faster and avoid this problem.
Also, the fact that Treyarch is considering lowering the necessary player count for a match from 10 – 12 to 8 – 10 players supports this assumption for some fans.
However, while some are upset about the merging and the presumed reasons for it, others fans remind that this solution may be better in the long run than letting individual modes completely die out. Otherwise, Black Ops 4 could potentially lose more players.
However, not all changes to the playlists are viewed negatively by players. Many are particularly looking forward to this upcoming mode:
What do you think about this removal and the merging of individual modes into overarching playlists? Does this decrease the appeal of multiplayer for you, or does this change keep it alive on PC?

In Destiny 2, Season 6 is just around the corner. It has several new features to offer – even for Guardians who don’t own the annual pass.
What is happening on Tuesday in Destiny 2? On Tuesday, March 5th, Season 6, the Season of the Vagabond, begins. It will bring fresh content for Guardians.
Nevertheless, all other Guardians will benefit from Season 6.
The hunt for new, powerful weapons begins
What powerful weapons can everyone hunt in Season 6?
All Guardians will have access to an exotic quest
All Guardians can acquire new pinnacle weapons
This is the Exotic in question: The exotic quest is likely about the Thorn. It is an exotic hand cannon that dominated PvP in Destiny 1 and is now making a return in Destiny 2.
These are the new pinnacle weapons: Pinnacle weapons are powerful, legendary weapons that you can only acquire with significant effort. In Season 6, three new pinnacle weapons are coming, one each for PvP, Gambit, and Vanguard activities.
Oxygen SG3 (Vanguard): This is a scout rifle with solar damage. The special perk causes the Libelle perk (precision kills create an elemental damage explosion) to deal more damage. This damage is increased based on the number of previously landed precision hits.
The Recluse (Crucible): This is a submachine gun with void damage. The special perk causes kills with any weapon to increase the Recluse’s damage for a short time.
21% Delirium (Gambit): This is a machine gun with arc damage. The special perk causes kills to increase the weapon’s damage until it is stowed or reloaded.
The current problem with Xur: Xur is an exotic trader in Destiny 2 who appears every Friday and offers exotic goods for a few days. However, he has never brought Forsaken exotics.
Exotic items have been extremely rare since Forsaken. In the months before, players were overwhelmed with Exotics from Year 1. Since Xur only brought Year 1 Exotics since Forsaken, he became rather dull.
This is how Xur will be in Season 6: Bungie has now confirmed that Xur can bring Forsaken exotics starting from Season 6. However, his offerings will remain random. It is not guaranteed that he will bring Forsaken items every week.
This means that everyone will soon have a chance to specifically complete their exotic collection, as long as the noodle-faced trader hears the Guardians’ wishes.
The hype for Xur has been rekindled
Armor pieces become more exciting
What is changing with the armors? Starting from Season 6, you can not only hunt for new weapons or stock up your Exotics from Xur, but also acquire armor pieces that better fit your loadout.
According to Bungie’s community manager dmg04, the Year 2 armor will be updated tomorrow. From then on, random rolls will be present on the respective armor types.
There is Heavy armor, Restorative armor, and Mobile armor.
What does the change mean? The perks that were previously limited to Mobile armor can then also randomly appear on Heavy armor or Restorative armor.
This gives you more variety when customizing your armors.
Bungie is working on the sandbox
What is changing? Tomorrow evening, Bungie will release the full patch notes for Season 6. Only then will we learn in detail how the sandbox will change. Among the known adjustments are:
What does this mean for the Guardians? All Guardians can try out new weapons and items to find the new best weapons. The player experience will change as a result. You won’t be running around with your old gear anymore.
Will Xur soon bring the One-Eyed Mask?
New events for everyone
What are these events about? While the new game modes of Season 6 are reserved for annual pass holders, multiple events will take place during the new season in which all Guardians can participate.
Iron Banner: This is a monthly PvP event that will drop new armor pieces in Season 6.
Arc week: From April 9th to 16th, the Arc week will run, about which nothing is known so far. We only know that it will be free for all players.
The Revelry: This will be a large spring event taking place from April 16th to May 6th. It will be held in a well-known forest that is blooming with fresh loot. In other words, it seems to be taking place in the Everforest, where you will be able to fight for new loot.
Gameplay calendar for Season 6
You will get more to collect
What’s new to collect? In addition to new weapons and armor pieces, all Guardians can
collect new triumphs
collect new lore books
and collect new decorative rewards.
The decorative rewards are cosmetic items that you receive through the Eververse. Bungie is changing this in-game shop for Season 6, but the changes are not being received well by many Guardians:
This is what Forsaken owners (without the annual pass) get: The previous content was available to all Guardians who own Destiny 2. If you purchased the Forsaken expansion (without the annual pass), you will additionally receive these new features with Season 6:
Private matches for the Gambit mode starting March 5th
Two new maps for the Gambit mode
Increase of the power level cap by 50 levels to 700
In Fortnite: Battle Royale, there was a deal last year for a special Fortnite bundle related to Nvidia cards. However, those who jumped at the opportunity just for the skin are likely quite disappointed now.
What was the Nvidia deal about? In December 2018, the graphics card manufacturer Nvidia offered a special deal. Anyone who purchased a graphics card from the GTX 10 series received 2,000 V-Bucks for Fortnite along with an exclusive skin, glider, back bling, and pickaxe.
This was the reason for the initiative: Nvidia had produced the chips for these cards in large quantities in anticipation of the Bitcoin boom. The cards were supposed to be particularly suitable for Bitcoin mining. However, the Bitcoin bubble burst quickly, and the anticipated demand for the graphics chips never materialized.
This was the Nvidia deal.
As a result, the cards were sold off cheaply for the Fortnite deal. Many skin collectors likely purchased the Nvidia card just for the skin, which was already considered outdated despite its good performance.
The cards cost between 280 and 500 Euros depending on the version. Sometimes, the skin was sold separately on eBay at high prices.
“Exclusive Skin” now in the shop for everyone
However, those who thought until now that having the Reflex skin was an exclusive outfit that hardly anyone else owned, have just been disappointed. Because Epic is shamelessly selling the Reflex skin in the shop today, March 4, 2019. And it costs the usual 1,200 Bucks that any outfit of this rarity costs.
1,200 Bucks is just 12 Euros, and anyone who purchased the Nvidia bundle or the overpriced code on eBay for 200 or more bucks to get the skin is understandably upset. After all, the bundle was marketed as exclusive at least by Epic.
This could only have referred to the bundle itself, but many buyers believed that it was about the skin as an exclusive offer.
“I am both disgusted and amused,” writes a buyer of the skin. “I didn’t buy the card just for the skin, but it did influence my purchasing decision.”
This is how the community laughs: Others are laughing at the people who seriously bought an expensive graphics card for a skin that is now available for the regular price in the shop.
“If you based your purchasing decision for a graphics card on this skin, you’re just stupid!”
“The bundle was just early access for the skin, lol!”
“I’m laughing my ass off at the idiots who bought it on eBay for hundreds of dollars!”
Also curious: On the Nvidia site, the deal was not even advertised as exclusive, which further frustrates many customers.
On the other hand, this is not the first time that Epic has later released a supposedly unique exclusive skin regularly in the shop. The “Halo Skin” had the same fate back then.
For about a week, players in GTA 5 Online earned millions of dollars, even though they barely did anything for it. A money glitch with an NPC provided the easy cash.
What did players exploit? In GTA Online, players can contact various NPCs who can assist them with different actions.
The NPC “Lester” can be contacted to request a plane for a fee. If the plane cannot spawn, the money is refunded. Players discovered that they could trick the game into refunding the money repeatedly, even though they only paid once. As long as they wanted.
With a meme, players celebrate the glitch – The RC Bandito races are cool, but hangars are even cooler. Source: Reddit
How did the glitch work? Normally, the NPC Lester tries to spawn a plane in a hangar when you request it. Players parked a car in the hangar, called Lester, and then accelerated simultaneously. If done near a plane spawn, they got their $2000 back for requesting the plane. Every few seconds. Again and again. You just had to stand there with your car.
One player states that he earned over 10 million dollars in just 6 hours. Essentially doing nothing.
On Reddit and in GTA forums, this method of quickly earning money gained a lot of attention quickly. After all, players only had to stand around and received thousands of dollars in seconds. Players posted screenshots of everyone chilling in the hangar while filling their accounts (via Kotaku).
“Almost the whole server is using the glitch” Source: MrMostachio on Reddit
Rockstar needed 2 attempts to fix the glitch
How did Rockstar Games respond? A few days after the glitch became famous, Rockstar made its first patch attempt. It quickly spread on Reddit that the glitch no longer worked and Rockstar had fixed the issue. At least that was the thought. Shortly after, players reported “The glitch still works. Just slightly different.”
For the new glitch, players had to park the Mobile Operations Center in a hangar. This allowed them to block 2 hangars at once and the money flowed again. Another victory for the players.
This is how Rockstar put an end to it: On February 28, about a week after the glitch was spread, the developers released a hotfix for GTA Online. This had the simple solution to fix the glitch. The costs for obtaining planes from Lester were simply removed. Because if you pay nothing, you can’t get your money back.
What happens now with the illegitimate money? It is still unclear how Rockstar Games will handle this. Players report on Reddit that they still possess the glitch money. In cases of major violations, the developers also act decisively and delete the acquired money. But this doesn’t seem to have happened with the Lester glitch yet.
Meanwhile, the GTA Online community continues to search for new exploits to earn easy money. How you do it in legitimate ways, we show you here:
In March, the developers of Atlas are planning a major overhaul for their pirate MMO. This aims to fix many major issues. At the same time, all servers will be reset so that no player can benefit from old errors.
That is set to change: In their roadmap, Grapeshot Games presents three major aspects that will be worked on in the March update:
World redesign
Reworking of claims
New war system
Additionally, many small problems will also be addressed, such as the ships of the damned, which will be appearing in greater numbers but significantly weaker in the future.
What happens to the current progress? To ensure that individual players do not have advantages after the major update, the developers will reset all servers.
This means that all players start completely from scratch. However, all players who have logged into Atlas before the update will receive exclusive cosmetic rewards.
Atlas is expanding – Over 200 new islands await you
Here’s what is changing in the world of Atlas: The developers want to provide all players with a home. Therefore, the world is also set to be enlarged. Additionally, some innovations and cosmetic adjustments are planned.
In every part of the world, there will be a new island. Overall, the world will be divided into 225 smaller regions, so each region will be equipped with a new island.
What to expect in March: The March update will feature many innovations, including a submarine and a guillotine. With the submarine, you can also explore a new underwater world.
The patch will also bring several cosmetic innovations, such as wooden legs and hook hands.
What changes in server selection: At the start of the update, the developers will also allow a switch of home servers. If you are not satisfied with your current world, you can choose a new one at the end of March.
Attacks on islands only with the owners’ consent
The combat and conquest system in Atlas will undergo a major overhaul with the patch. Players will now theoretically be able to build on any island.
These are the settlements: In the future, an island will have only one location that can be claimed. This location will be referred to as a “settlement.” The owner of the settlement owns the island.
While non-owners of the island can also build there, their buildings can be attacked immediately. Furthermore, these constructions will decay over time.
Island owners, on the other hand, have special rules. A period of 9 hours must be specified during which the settlement is vulnerable every day.
During this time, the buildings can be attacked. Otherwise, they are invulnerable.
What is changing in the companies: The size of a company has been reduced to 250 members. Additionally, a company can now only be in two alliances at the same time.
The alliances themselves will also be adjusted. The maximum size per alliance will be set at four companies.
How to recognize friend and foe: To ensure that players can clearly see whether an island belongs to allies or enemies, they will be colored differently.
This way, there will be different colors for your own island, the allied island, and the island of non-allied players.
Jagex, known for the long-lasting MMORPG Runescape, is currently working on a new online role-playing game. This time, the team is using the Unreal Engine. Action is supposed to be at the forefront.
What has Jagex announced? The developer studio stated, Nathan Richardsson has been hired.
He is working as an Executive Producer on a currently unannounced online action role-playing game, which is being developed based on Unreal Engine 4.
Runescape is now 18 years old. It’s time for something new.
Who is Nathan Richardsson? He has been working in the games industry for 15 years and contributed to EVE Online at CCP Games. Other games he worked on include:
Dust
World of Darkness
Defiance
Additionally, he has worked at Ubisoft Montreal and Behaviour Digital.
Have any other new employees been hired? Yes, there are additional new hires, as Jagex wants to assemble a team of passionate and experienced MMO developers to work on the new online game.
Pete McKay as Director of Community (formerly at CCP and Riot Games)
Agatha Bejan as Head of CRM and Player Engagement (formerly at EA, Microsoft, and NaturalMotion)
Alan Krause as Senior Director of Game Engineering (formerly at SOE, Trion, Amazon)
What kind of game could this be?
What kind of game is being created here? Very little has been revealed about the title.
However, the term online action RPG suggests that we can expect an active, fast-paced combat system.
Will it be an MMORPG? The developers are refraining from calling the project an MMORPG. Therefore, it is conceivable that this might be more of a cooperative experience:
Perhaps we can expect something along the lines of Lost Ark but with fewer players: Something more like Torchlight or Diablo
Or it could be a game that draws inspiration from Monster Hunter World and Dauntless? An online role-playing game for smaller groups to embark on adventures together.
The use of Unreal Engine 4 indicates that the title should also be visually impressive.
The developers of Runescape are using Unreal Engine 4 for their next game.
Does this game connect with other Jagex projects? Already in May of last year, Jagex stated that they were working on a Next-Gen MMORPG that is supposed to be very accessible. However, this game was referred to as an MMORPG, which could mean it is a different project.
What does the community think about it? There is some skepticism, as Jagex has not achieved success with other games outside of Runescape. Stellar Dawn and Transformers Universe were canceled. However, the now 18-year-old Runescape continues to thrive, and Jagex has significant experience in keeping an online game interesting over an immensely long period.
Makav3liii writes on Reddit cynically: “Jagex has never successfully made a game. Every time they try, it gets canceled or fails. The only MMO is Runescape, which was made by three people who haven’t worked there in 10 years.”
Some fans are also showing interest and are curious about what Jagex can develop for a modern online role-playing game.
When we will learn more about this project is currently unclear.
In Destiny 2, the new season of the Wanderer is ushered in with update 2.2.0. In addition to new content for Season 6, numerous changes are also included, from which two weapon categories could particularly benefit.
These power weapons should be tried out with the new patch: The studio aims to massively strengthen legendary rocket launchers and grenade launchers, so well-rolled specimens can compete better with exotic weapons in the power slot in terms of pure damage.
This way, Guardians who enjoy playing with exotic firearms in the kinetic or energy slot will receive more options for their loadout.
What is the problem with legendary power weapons? Currently, it is the case that legendary power weapons, with few exceptions like the heavy machine gun Hammerhead or rocket launchers with cluster bombs, are clearly outperformed in most situations by exotic competition.
Weapon exotics like the Sleeper Simulant, the Donnerlord, or the Whisper of the Worm are currently hard to surpass when it comes to maximum damage output. Most legendary power weapons, therefore, gather dust in the vault.
Bungie now wants to change this by strengthening legendary power weapons. The goal is for Guardians to choose exotics because they fit their playstyle, not because there is no alternative in terms of damage.
The difference between exotics and legendaries should not be so great that there is essentially no real choice.
What is changing with power weapons in update 2.2.0
Keep in mind that these changes only apply to legendary examples of these two weapon categories. Weapon exotics that fall under this category will be adjusted individually.
The changes for grenade launchers: Grenade launchers had issues with their ammo reserves, making them very inconsistent. In addition, the damage in PvE was simply too low to seriously keep up with other heavy weapon categories. As a result, they played hardly any role for most guardians.
This is precisely what Bungie is now addressing:
The damage of grenade launchers in PvE has been increased by 25%
Additionally, the ammo reserves of most grenade launchers have been increased. Most launchers received three shots in their reserves, which can, however, be changed with perks like “Ready for Anything”
Furthermore, magazine perks and mods no longer affect the reserves
The changes for rocket launchers: For legendary rocket launchers, there has so far been essentially only one real alternative – the cluster bombs. This perk can nearly double the damage output of the corresponding launcher under ideal conditions.
Bungie also wants to provide more options here with the following changes:
The PvE damage of rocket launchers will be increased by 60% to 65%.
The damage of cluster bombs will be reduced by about 80%. However, this will be compensated by the damage increase for the rocket itself
This should make rocket launchers more reliable and effective – especially against aerial targets. Cluster bombs have almost never reached these.
What do you think of these changes? Do you also enjoy playing with exotics outside of the power slot? Or do you still find no alternatives for weapons like the Donnerlord or the Whisper, despite the adjustments?

In Pokémon GO Shiny Meltan will disappear tomorrow morning. So you should open a mystery box again, because the event surrounding the Pokémon ends tomorrow.
That’s why you should get the mystery box: Shiny Meltan has only been available in one event so far. This event has been running for over a month, but ends tomorrow morning. So if you don’t have a Shiny yet, you should secure a box again.
When does the event end? Today, on March 4th, the event ends according to the official announcement at 11:59 PM PST. This is 8:59 AM tomorrow morning (March 5th) in Germany. If you don’t have time for Pokémon GO at that time, you should pick up a mystery box today.
That’s why Shiny Meltan will disappear for now
This is what Niantic says: In the announcement for the event, it is stated that you can only catch the Shiny during this limited time. After that, it will disappear for now.
Meltan and its evolution Melmetal.
Will it come back? Surely Shiny Meltan will return to the game, but a date is not known. If Meltan is handled like Shinys of legendary Pokémon, it may take some time. After all, Meltan is a mysterious Pokémon which can certainly be compared to legendary Pokémon.
How likely is Shiny Meltan? If you have picked up a Meltan box every 3rd day, then based purely on probability, you should have encountered at least one Shiny. The Shiny rate is about 1 in 40.
Meltan and its shiny form in comparison
How to get Meltan: If you haven’t gotten a mystery box yet, you should visit a friend with a Nintendo Switch and one of the Let’s GO games.
When you send a Pokémon to the game, you will receive a mystery box in return. This box then holds around 20 Meltan for you.
A major issue is currently causing problems for Anthem on Xbox One and PS4. The game can crash the console. Some players are worried that their console might suffer permanent damage. Sony has already responded in some cases.
What is happening on PS4 and Xbox One? The game can crash when trying to close the application. Such cases have already been reported on both consoles, with the PS4 seeming to be affected much more frequently.
Update, 18:14: PS4 players are advised not to quit the game directly via “Close Application”. This seems to be a possible trigger for the crash.
Where could the problem lie? There is currently a lot of speculation about the cause. The problem also reportedly occurs in individual cases with other games like Destiny 2 and is related to the error code CE-36329-3 on PS4. However, this is not displayed for everyone; often the console simply powers off completely.
So far, it does not seem like there is a way to avoid the problem. The error code description only states “Error executing system software.” We need to wait for statements from Sony, Microsoft, and Bioware.
Players turn to Sony, are angry
What are players worried about? Players are understandably angry and concerned about their consoles. After such a crash, it may happen that the console does not respond for a long time, and the controller cannot establish a connection either.
How Sony is responding, according to player reports: Due to the lack of a timely solution from BioWare, some fans have directly approached Sony for help.
In some cases, the purchase price of digital copies has been refunded within minutes, at least according to some players.
The user SoundAndFury writes: “Sony is aware of the issues. They offer a full refund for Anthem, no questions asked. It only took me 5 minutes.”
Is a refund for Anthem guaranteed? Other players report that they did not receive a refund. In one case, they were reportedly told to simply stop playing the game. So far, there is no clear policy in place.
So it is not guaranteed that Sony will refund the purchase price of Anthem. If the problem occurs for you, you can contact the PlayStation Support and try your luck.
What does Bioware say about this? In another Reddit post from March 1st, the user kinglippydipp already complained about the crashes.
Bioware employee Ben Irving replied, “We are looking into the crashes.” There has been no further information on this so far.
How players are reacting to the problems: Players are venting their frustrations in the subreddit of Anthem.
Many are also angry that the problem has existed since release and that Bioware still shows no reaction despite all the reports. The console doesn’t just crash; it powers off as if the plug were pulled. This is a serious issue that should take priority over any loot patches.
We will keep you updated on the problem. So far, there have been no official statements from Sony, so the reports should be taken with caution.

The release time for TOTW 25: The Team of the Week will be released on March 6 at 7 PM. You can draw it from packs in FUT 19 for a week until the next Wednesday at 7 PM.
These are TOTW predictions: The predictions are based on the real performances of the players over the past week.
The predictions come from the community and are never 100% accurate, but they provide a good overview of the players who might make it into the Team of the Week could. As seen in the above predictions, they can vary significantly.
However, the chance of that is rather low, so you will need a lot of luck.
Additionally, it is possible to buy the TOTW cards on the transfer market. However, the prices are often extremely high, especially for good players.

Investing and trading with Team of the Week cards
Trading and investments with TOTW cards: If you are willing to take a certain risk, you can earn many coins with TOTW cards and the related predictions. You need to be aware that these predictions never match the “real” TOTW 100%. So, there is no guarantee that your investment will pay off.
Currently, some of the best Fortnite players in the world are competing for $500,000 at the ESL tournament in Katowice, Poland. However, a bug raises doubts about whether Fortnite is ready for e-sports in its current version.
This was the bug: The player Marki was taken down during a firefight in Frosty Flight.
If a player has 0 health points in Fortnite and is playing in a team, they are not dead yet, but only “downed.” They can still crawl.

But Marki simply could not drop below 0 health points in this situation. The opponent then retreated. Marki seemingly could not believe his luck, as seen in his reaction on stream.
The player Marki was then revived by his partner and was able to continue playing normally.

In general, this raises the question of whether Fortnite can function as a “serious e-sports title” here.
Fans of titles that have long been considered e-sports view it critically when such errors occur.
Normally, a stable and as glitch-free environment should be guaranteed in e-sports. But stability apparently does not go well with the turbulent patch policy of Fortnite.
Glitches appeared during a tournament for the competing title PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, leading to discussions about whether the early access title is really ready for e-sports.
We will show you how to manually select servers in Apex Legends on PS4, Xbox One, and PC, and how to reduce lags and connection issues.
Hardly any major online game is free from connection issues and lags. However, it is unpleasant when such issues occur in a battle royale shooter like Apex Legends and cost you the match.
This should help: Apparently, selecting the server can make a big difference and reduce problems. At least that is what u/SuperWeeble on Reddit says. We will show you how to do it.
Manual Server Selection in Apex Legends – here’s how
How to select the server on PS4 and Xbox One:
Wait a few minutes on the title screen
Press R3/RS and select the data center
There you can choose which server you want to take
Apex Legends Server Selection
How to select the server on PC:
Wait 60 seconds on the start screen
Press Escape and Cancel
Then, the data center should be displayed at the bottom of the screen
This is what you need to keep in mind: Always choose the server with the lowest ping and packet loss, as this will ensure a better connection. A ping of 32 like Frankfurt 2 means a delay of 32 milliseconds.
Normally, the game itself chooses the best server for you, but that doesn’t always seem to work. This is how you can set it up yourself.
Are you struggling with lags? Could this tip help you?
Players are waiting for Season 1. Here are the latest rumors:
The MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online has been on the market for almost 5 years now. Is it still worth starting now in 2019 or is the ship sailed? Find out here.
The MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) was released in April 2014 and has had many expansions and updates since then. The game is thriving with tons of users and in 2019 will deliver, for the first time, a large, cohesive addon campaign with the Season of the Dragon.
But what if you have never played ESO before or haven’t been active for years? Is it still worth it to start?
3 good reasons why you should start with ESO now
In fact, 2019 is an ideal year for (re)starting in ESO for various reasons. This is mainly due to a subtle update that recently came to the servers.
ESO is more comfortable and beginner-friendly than ever before
With the major free update for the DLC Wrathstone, a feature that fans have long missed in ESO also arrived: the zone guide. This is a function that allows you to conveniently see what there is to do in each area.
Thanks to the new feature, you always know where to go.
This applies to quests, story missions, and even achievements, if you want to chase them. Now you can target specific tasks and have a good overview as a beginner, without being confused by content. It has never been easier to get started as a newcomer in ESO.
ESO offers content regardless of level
In ESO, you can not only find the relevant content in every zone immediately, but you can also enter any zone right away. For quite some time now, the “One Tamriel” concept has been in effect. This means you can visit any area at any time and there:
complete all quests
always find relevant loot
play together with your friends
In ESO, you can always play together with all other players.
In ESO, you will always be adjusted to the level of the enemies in the area, allowing you to team up as a “Level-1-Noob” with veterans who have already reached the maximum level. Everyone faces appropriate opponents and receives the loot that is expected for their level.
As newcomers, you don’t need to worry about being left behind forever. You can participate in everything – aside from truly challenging endgame raids and hardcore mode instances – no matter how high your level or equipment is.
Important for returning players: The three factions are still present, but are only relevant in PvP in Cyrodiil. Now you can also do quests as a member of the Pact in Dominion and move freely.
If you are more a fan of single-player RPGs but have no issue with social systems and online features, you will likely have a lot of fun in ESO. Most quests can be completed alone.
The game puts – similar to SWTOR – a lot of emphasis on storytelling. All quests are fully voiced, and as expected from Elder Scrolls, you will get plenty of cool, exciting, spooky, and sometimes just quirky stories.
So, if you enjoyed exploring the area in Skyrim and Co. and experiencing the cool stories, you will also find what you are looking for in ESO.
ESO offers many emotes and animation sets for roleplayers.
For fans of MMORPGs, there is plenty of content in the form of dungeons and hefty raids. Many have accumulated over the past 5 years.
According to the ESO Reddit, there are also very different player types who have been happy with ESO. Some are said to only do crafting and create particularly cool items to offer in the game.
Others play ESO more as a role-playing game and life simulation. They immerse themselves in their role and enjoy designing their houses in housing optimally. That is also possible in ESO.
This is how you can start in ESO
The Elder Scrolls Online is a Buy2Play game. You need to buy it for approximately 19.99 euros and can then play it indefinitely and without restrictions.
You can also subscribe to a service called “ESO Plus”. This gives you more money and experience from loot and unlimited access to all DLCs as long as you maintain the subscription. Additionally, you can hoard unlimited crafting materials.
The subscription costs about 12 euros per month and offers you the equivalent in exchange currency in the game. You can then use that to buy cosmetic items or unlock the DLCs individually. You can play them even if the subscription is not active.
The addons, referred to as chapters here, are partly only available for purchase with real money and are not included in the subscription. The first addon Morrowind is now included in the base version of the game.
In 2019, the highly anticipated addon Elsweyr, featuring dragons and cat people, is also coming.
In a forum post, the developers discuss some updates for WoW Classic. A lot has happened since the beta at Blizzcon, and player feedback has clearly been very helpful. There is little new information regarding the release.
These are the updates: After many pieces of feedback from players who have played Classic as a demo, Blizzard has revised numerous aspects. In a official forum post, a short and still incomplete list was published:
Items with the corresponding property now increase the chance of a critical hit by X%.
Rogues regenerated energy too quickly, which has now been fixed.
Jumps are no longer slowed by “Slow Fall”.
Hits from ranged weapons and wands now reset the casting time.
Dodging, parrying, and missing occurred less frequently than intended.
Among other things, there were issues with health regeneration and critical hits. This was actually a problem that the developers explicitly tested before the demo and still occurred. It showed some difficulties with the testing environment and the servers.
Will the Classic servers be as populated as the now-defunct private server Nostalrius?
However, there are also unpleasant things. Some players have criticized that the demons of a warlock disappeared when they started to summon a new one. They believe it should only disappear once the summoning is complete.
According to Blizzard, it is precisely the case that a demon disappears at the start of the new spell. This is one of the things that were “unpleasant” in Classic.
The talent tree of a warlock in Classic.
This is what is said about the release: There is still no new information about the release. It is only said that you might look forward to a “Classic summer”.
The German streamer Marcel Eris, known as MontanaBlack, became a star with Fortnite . Now he is writing an autobiography that addresses his past with drugs. Some fans say this will be the first book they have ever read.
Here’s what the book is about: The book is called “MontanaBlack: From Junkie to YouTuber” and will be released at the end of March. It is an autobiography.
The YouTuber Marcel Eris, known as MontanaBlack, describes how he goes from being a homeless junkie who breaks into cars to buy grass and cocaine to a celebrated YouTuber.
In writing the biography, he was helped by Dennis Sand, an editor of Welt. He previously wrote the biography of Sun Diego, a German gangster rapper.
Many fans may already be familiar with the topic. Back in 2014, MontanaBlack shared the “From Junkie to YouTuber” story in a widely noticed YouTube video, back then still laid over with “Call of Duty” gameplay.

Fan says: “The first and probably last book I will ever read”
Here’s how the fans are reacting: MontanaBlack promoted his book on Twitter and urged fans to pre-order. On Twitter, with nearly 340,000 followers, he has a strong reach.
Many of his followers are sharing a screenshot of how they order the book. In the comments, it becomes clear that some of MontanaBlack’s fans are not exactly enthusiastic readers but are making an exception for this.
Some say this will be the first book they will ever read, and also the last.

This is MontanaBlack: Marcel Eris grew up in Buxtehude and built a career as a gaming streamer and YouTuber. He became known through Call of Duty and FIFA.
Since Fortnite became such a hit, MontanaBlack’s career has also skyrocketed. His channel on Twitch exploded around March 2018. This coincides with the success curve of US Fortnite players like Ninja.
Since March 2018, Fortnite has completely entered the mainstream. This also brought a career boost for MontanaBlack.

According to his own statements, MontanaBlack is now one of Germany’s most successful YouTubers and the largest German streamer on Twitch. Recently, he made headlines for hosting the first German Fortnite tournament.
This is what distinguishes MontanaBlack:MontanaBlack comes across as authentic and speaks to his viewers on eye level. He cultivates a unique way of speaking that defines his streams:
he uses the word ” anders ” as very – ” Ander good ” means ” particularly good”
he has developed some distinctive phrases like “G stands for Gönnen”, “Küsschen aufs Nüsschen” or “That runs on kiss-kiss-kiss basis”

regularly, English words can be found in his comments. He “enjoys” an action, especially when it is ” anders nice”. What he certainly does is “safe”
and he frequently uses the word “honor” in all possible variations – “honor taken” is something bad, a song can be “honor”, meaning particularly good, someone is an “honor brother”. Among his followers, MontanaBlack is known as “Ehrenmann” – nobody wants to be the opposite, the “Unehrenmann”
MontanaBlack maintains a youth language that also functions as a kind of “code” for his viewers, allowing them to identify as fans and part of a group.

With his style, MontanaBlack is particularly popular with a young audience, who perceive him as authentic and edgy. With his drug past and the flirtation with a gangster image, he collects “street cred”, or credibility.
In contrast to other Fortnite streamers, MontanaBlack seems to be “brandsafe”. It is therefore okay for large brands to collaborate with him. Epic organized the first large Fortnite tournament in Germany with him as a partner.
Other streamers who maintain such a gangster image encounter boundaries.
Currently, there is an Open Beta running for The Division 2. You should take a look before it ends.
When does the Open Beta end? The beta for The Division 2 is not only running this weekend, but it will also be available all day next Monday. The end is on Tuesday, March 5, at 10 AM. Then the servers will go down.
Everyone should at least take a look at the upcoming loot shooter for 1 to 2 hours before the opportunity passes. Why – you will find out now.
There are rewards for The Division 2
That’s why future agents should play the beta: If you are already sure that you will be playing as agents in The Division 2, it’s worth a look into the Open Beta. Because there are rewards.
These are the rewards:
DC Patriot Weapon Skin: A weapon skin that you only need to log into the beta to get.
Capitol Hill Arm Patch: This is a nice arm patch featuring the Capitol. You will receive it by mastering the Invaded Mission. First, you must complete the main mission “Jefferson Trade Center” in the beta to gain access to three level-30 characters. Now log out, choose one of these characters, and an Invaded Mission starts immediately.
Supply Crate Backpack Trophy: This is a backpack tag that you receive by completing the introductory mission for the Dark Zone in the East. After completing the “Jefferson Trade Center” mission, you will receive the mission from Senait Ezera, an NPC in the base at the White House.
Capitol Hill Backpack Trophy: Another backpack tag that is easy to get. Log in to the Open Beta and it should be unlocked.
All these rewards are cosmetic. They do not grant any gameplay advantages in The Division 2, but they enhance your agent’s appearance. Two of them were already available in the Private Beta.
In-game scene from the beta
The Open Beta receives high ratings from MeinMMO readers
That’s why the Open Beta is worth it for doubters: If you are generally interested in The Division 2, but don’t want to deal with typical beta issues that can be found in the test phases of other games, the Open Beta may surprise you.
Because it is received quite well in the community. The servers are stable, the gameplay experience is top-notch, and only a few problems, especially with the sound, mar the experience.
Yesterday, on March 2, we let our MeinMMO readers rate the Open Beta with a school grade. You can still vote. But already after a short time, well over 1000 agents have settled on a grade, with so far
53% of all participants give it a solid 2
20% give it a 1 and a 3 each
and only 7% give it a 4 or worse
So it’s worth taking a peek into the Open Beta. You won’t encounter a bug festival, as one might fear from a beta, but rather a plethora of game content. Most agents are enthusiastic or satisfied.
You can read some opinions – including critical ones – here:
That’s why the Open Beta is worth it for Private Beta testers: If you have already played the Private Beta, you may wonder why you should also play the Open Beta.
There are additional rewards to earn for the main game The Division 2. You can find these above in the article.
You can experience a new main mission with the “Viewpoint Museum”.
The Chem. Launcher is now available as a skill in the game. You can fire flammable gas or sticky foam at opponents.
Compared to the Private Beta, many bugs have been fixed and improvements made. The player experience has changed.

The Division 2 improves many aspects compared to The Division 1
That’s why the beta is worth it for retired agents: If the first months after the release of The Division 1 disappointed you so much that you are actually done with The Division, it’s still worth taking a look at the beta.
The Division 2 offers a completely new setting that you can experience in the beta. The location changes from snowy New York to Washington D.C. in summer.
The Division 2 launches with important features that were missing from The Division 1 for a long time, such as loadouts or a Clan System. Loadouts are already available in the beta.
The Division 2 includes “real” PvP right at launch, which players had to wait a long time for in the first part. PvP modes and a revamped Dark Zone can be tested in the beta.
The open world has more to offer than that of its predecessor, and you can already discover many things in the world during the beta.
The endgame of The Division 2 will have a lot to offer right at launch. You can get a first impression of this in the beta with specializations and Invaded Missions.
Further differences between The Division 2 and 1 can be found here:
That’s why the beta is worth it for inexperienced players: If The Division 2 intimidates you because you haven’t played the first part, the Open Beta is also worth it.
Everyone starts in The Division 2 from the beginning. The setting and characters are new.
You do not need to have played The Division 1 to understand the story in the sequel. Even the beta starts with an introductory video that sufficiently explains the context.
The beta is completely free. Even if you realize early on that The Division 2 is not for you, you will lose only a few hours of your life.
The Division 2 is not only for shooter fans. It contains an extensive progression system, pronounced clan features, and many elements that resemble MMORPGs.
Furthermore, The Division 2 is not a “typical shooter,” but a tactical cover shooter played from a third-person perspective.
You can get a first impression of all this in the Open Beta.
Moreover, the Open Beta is generally worthwhile to help ensure that The Division 2 can have a smooth launch on March 15, 2019. Push the servers to their limits, point out any last bugs and issues to the developers – and have fun while doing it.
In Pokémon GO, a new event is coming soon. A dataminer found quests indicating an event for Equinox. We will show you what is currently known.
That’s why an event is expected: The dataminer Chrales found new quests in the code of Pokémon GO. These are listed under “equinox 2019”.
What is Equinox? This word describes the equinox. This is the day when day and night are of equal length. This year, it falls on March 20.
That’s why it’s interesting for Pokémon GO: Niantic likes to hold events on such special days. Since the dataminer has now found quests named “equinox 2019”, one can certainly hope that an event awaits us.
These are the found quests
Here’s what the field research is about: A total of 4 quests have been found. They all revolve around plant Pokémon.
Chikorita already had a Community Day and is now part of the quests.
Catch X Bulbasaur or Chikorita
Catch X plant Pokémon
Evolve X plant Pokémon
Evolve X plant Pokémon (probably a different number)
What kind of event could it be? Further details of the event are not yet known. Looking at the quests, one can be sure that plant Pokémon will take center stage.
This is related: On March 23, the Community Day in March will also take place. This time it’s all about the plant starter Treecko. This also aligns with the plant Pokémon in the event.
What players are hoping for: If it really becomes a plant event, many players hope that Leafeon will be introduced. This Pokémon is an evolution of Eevee with a plant type. So it would certainly fit.
Players hope for the release of Leafeon
In addition, many players hope for the introduction of Budew and Cherubi. These two monsters from Generation 4 are still missing and are of plant type.
When could the event start? Since the equinox takes place on March 20 in Germany, an event could start then. It remains to be seen when Niantic will inform us about it.
It is possible that such an event may not take place at all, as Niantic has confirmed nothing officially. So far, only quests have been found in the code. Nevertheless, the quests for the year 2019 have been described. It is therefore quite likely that we can look forward to such an event.
The dataminer also found quests for a possible battle event:
Anthem offers a variety of weapons to choose from. Which Masterwork and Legendary weapons are best suited for each Javelin, we will show you here.
Some of the Masterwork or Legendary weapons have special bonus effects that work very well with the playstyle of the four Javelins. The resulting synergy enhances your destructive power and can compensate for certain weaknesses of your Javelin.
Which weapons are best suited for the Ranger? For the playstyle of the Ranger, the assault rifle “Ralner’s Blaze” and the shotgun “Rolling Carnage” are particularly good choices.
Ralner’s Blaze
This is what Ralner’s Blaze can do: This assault rifle is the upgraded version of the “Hammerhead”. When you score successful hits with this weapon, you set your opponent on fire.
Ralner’s Blaze
This is why this weapon is particularly good for the Ranger: Setting enemies on fire with this weapon counts as a status effect. This means that this weapon prepares hit enemies for combo attacks. For the Ranger, this is optimal as you can easily equip two detonator abilities without relying on a primer ability.
A “primer” inflicts a negative status effect on enemies, while a subsequent attack with a “detonator” triggers a damage explosion.
With Ralner’s Blaze, you can thus maximize the effectiveness of your passive ability (additional combo damage). Your melee ability also helps you set up combo attacks.
This is what Rolling Carnage can do: This shotgun is the upgraded version of the “Revenge”. When you perform a dodge maneuver with this weapon, it receives 50% more damage for 20 seconds. This effect can be stacked up to three times.
Rolling Carnage
This is why this weapon is particularly good for the Ranger: Since you can’t dodge as often with the Ranger as you can with the Interceptor, the 20 seconds give you enough time to make proper use of the shotgun’s bonus effect. The Ranger can thus use its dodge offensively and strategically engage in battle to deal high damage.
This way, you can effectively defend yourself in close combat and drastically increase your chances of survival. Since you dodge more often with Rolling Carnage, you become harder to hit while simultaneously dealing significant damage to your foes.
Storm: These are the best weapons
Which weapons are best suited for the Storm? For the playstyle of the Storm, the sniper rifle “Truth of Tarsis” and the heavy pistol “Avenging Herald” are recommended.
Truth of Tarsis
This is what Truth of Tarsis can do: This sniper rifle is the upgraded version of the “Devastator”. When you hit an enemy’s weak point that is affected by a status effect with this weapon, a combo attack is detonated.
Truth of Tarsis
This is why this weapon is particularly good for the Storm: For the Storm, it is nothing easier than to apply a status effect to an enemy from a distance. With the Storm, you can continue to control enemy masses and support your team. With this weapon, you have an additional detonator and can deal significant damage to single targets.
This allows you to provide crucial support fire for team members at a distance or eliminate heavy targets with a single shot without having to use your normal detonator abilities. Thanks to the Storm’s passive ability (better combo chaining), you can further distribute any status effects through the unique effect of Truth of Tarsis.
Avenging Herald
This is what Avenging Herald can do: This heavy pistol is the upgraded version of the “Impact Strike”. With this weapon, you deal 200% more damage while in hover mode.
Avenging Herald
This is why this weapon is particularly good for the Storm: It is clear that this weapon is best suited for the Storm, as the Storm can hover in the air for much longer than the other three Javelins. The Avenging Herald is optimal for dealing devastating damage at close range and quickly taking out single enemies.
The critical multiplier of heavy pistols is already very high, which makes this weapon extremely lethal in the hands of an accurate shooter. The Avenging Herald allows Storm pilots to contribute offensively to the chaos, as the pistol is particularly effective at short range.
Interceptor: These are the best weapons
Which weapons are best suited for the Interceptor? For the playstyle of the Interceptor, the heavy pistol “Close Encounter” and the semi-automatic pistol “Unending Battle” are recommended.
Close Encounter
This is what Close Encounter can do: This heavy pistol is the upgraded version of the “Suppression Fire”. When you perform a dodge maneuver with this weapon, the damage of the weapon increases by 75% for 10 seconds.
Close Encounter
This is why this weapon is particularly good for the Interceptor: Since you are constantly dashing around with the Interceptor and using your dodge ability often, this weapon is optimal for precise shooters. Because you are always on the move, you activate the effect with every dash again and thus enjoy extra damage most of the time.
Close Encounter is particularly effective at close range and is good for slowly approaching enemies with the Interceptor and taking them out with a well-aimed shot before engaging in close combat. To fully exploit the potential of this pistol, you should always try to hit the weak points of your enemies.
Unending Battle
This is what Unending Battle can do: This semi-automatic pistol is the upgraded version of the “Fulcrum”. When you hit an enemy from close range with this weapon, the damage of this weapon and your melee ability increases by 110% for 5 seconds.
Unending Battle
This is why this weapon is particularly good for the Interceptor: With this weapon, you are extremely powerful at very close range. This fully automatic pistol rewards an offensive playstyle and further enhances the effectiveness of the Interceptor’s melee combat.
Your approach with the Unending Battle should look like this: First, you apply a status effect to an enemy (for example, with the poison bomb), then you get in close proximity to the enemy and fire a short burst with the pistol to activate the effect. After that, you can immediately go in for a boosted melee attack.
Through the combo attack and the increased melee damage, you deal massive damage in the 5 seconds. You can repeat this process as many times as you want with either the melee or the pistol.
Which weapons are best suited for the Colossus? For the Colossus’s playstyle, the automatic cannon “Stral’s Fist” and the grenade launcher “Rain and Flood” are recommended.
Stral’s Fist
This is what Stral’s Fist can do: This automatic cannon is the upgraded version of the “Skybreaker”. Hitting an enemy with this weapon increases damage by 10% for 5 seconds. This effect can be stacked up to ten times.
Stral’s Fist
This is why this weapon is particularly good for the Colossus: With the Colossus, you are usually in the thick of the chaos. With this weapon, you mow through multiple enemies while becoming even stronger with each successful hit.
Stral’s Fist is ideal for the Colossus’s battle cry ability, which draws the attention of surrounding enemies. By activating this ability, you can fully utilize the potential of the automatic cannon and easily eliminate several enemy masses. With the large magazine, good range, and high rate of fire, you can protect your teammates while controlling the enemies at your feet.
Rain and Flood
This is what Rain and Flood can do: This grenade launcher is the upgraded version of the “Gunner”. Landing a kill with this weapon clears all negative status effects and increases effect resistance by 75% for 10 seconds.
Rain and Flood
This is why this weapon is particularly good for the Colossus: Since the Colossus is one of the most offensive Javelins and can cause devastating damage with its abilities, it needs something for its defensive protection options. As a Colossus pilot, you will often find yourself in the battlefield and will occasionally receive a status effect. This weapon helps you deal with that and drastically enhances your survival capabilities.
Once you are affected by a negative status effect, you can quickly switch to Rain and Flood, land a quick kill, and immediately nullify the effect. You also gain increased resistance to further status effects, allowing you to stay in the fight even longer.
