Fallout 76: Farming Screws – How to Find the Material

Screws are not necessarily rare in Fallout 76, but they are often needed. In our guide, we will show you how to farm screws and from which items you can obtain screws.

You need screws in Fallout 76 for all kinds of things. Almost every weapon or armor requires screws in order to repair or craft it.

While screws can be found relatively often, you still need a lot of them. In our guide, we explain where to find screws and from which junk you can salvage them.

Screws – where to search?

You are best off searching for the corresponding items in the area. For screws, you need items that are relatively common in the region. So, you should carefully look around while moving through the game world.

While there are no classic farming spots, fans seem to have identified a spot where you can get a lot of screws: Sugar Grove, north of the National Radio Research Centers. Additionally, there should be other useful materials like aluminum.

Sugar Grove is located in the eastern part of the Savage Divide region.

Other players suggest killing Wendigos. Although these are fearsome and almost naked creatures, Wendigos are said to be a good source of screws. They are not the first bosses that drop strange loot.

Where do I find Wendigos? Inside Fort Defiance, a Wendigo awaits you. It should be at level 42. So make sure that your level is high enough. Fort Defiance is located in the eastern part of the Cranberry Bogs and is the former base of a known faction.

If you find a Wendigo or clear out an area, you can start again through server hopping.

A basic tip: No matter what material you are looking for, use the “Tag for Search” function. This will always show you with a magnifying glass whether a certain item contains the sought material.

Destiny 2: How the new DLC activity ‘Forging the Chain’ plays out

The premium DLC Black Armory brings, among other things, a new cooperative activity to Destiny 2 – the “Forging of Chains”. Check out this video to see how the new mode plays.

Today, on December 4th, with the Weekly Reset, the Black Armory goes live. A new feature of the first premium DLC is the cooperative event “Forging of Chains”. Here, Guardians must face waves of enemies together to earn new gear from the Black Armory.

D2_Black_Armory_Press_Kit_Gear_04

What does the video show? By now, even before the release of the Black Armory, initial gameplay footage has emerged. This way, you can get a preview of how the event roughly unfolds and how some of the new exotic weapons from the new DLC perform in practice.

By the way, the YouTuber FalloutPlays shows gameplay from the Volundr Forge, which will be available later this evening after the launch of the DLC.

What are the Forging of Chains? This is a new cooperative activity for three players in the style of the Escalation Protocol or the Blind Well, but with additional mechanics. For the first time, there is also matchmaking for such an activity.

In total, there are four “Forging of Chains”, which will be released staggered throughout the Season 5. The new vendor Ada-1 sends the Guardians to get these forges back in operation .

D2_Black_Armory_Press_Kit_Gear_03

During the event itself, the goal is to withstand waves of opponents while also protecting and maintaining the forge. Because during this time, your rewards will be crafted according to blueprints that you receive from Ada-1.

To make progress, you need to throw a core onto the forge apparatus. These cores drop from powerful enemies that you eliminate throughout the event.

What do you think of this new activity? And how do you find the new weapons in action?

These changes bring Trainer battles to Pokémon GO

Pokémon GO now reveals details about the PvP mode (Trainer Battles). We tell you what to look forward to.

The PvP mode in Pokémon GO is set to provide a completely new battle experience. Pokémon will receive a second charged attack for this battle mode. Additionally, they can deploy a defense shield that blocks the charged attack from the other Pokémon.

We will show you what to expect in the new PvP mode.

This is what PvP brings to Pokémon GO

In this new battle mode, players are expected to play together even more after the introduction of raids and the friends feature, and finally challenge each other. This is Niantic’s goal behind the new feature.

PvP Niantic Image

How many Pokémon can be sent into battle? In battles, you can challenge opponents with a total of three Pokémon. This is different from the usual six Pokémon that make up a battle team.

Can you also play against NPCs? You can challenge not only your friends but also the team leaders of Team Instinct, Wisdom, and Valor. This allows you to finally fight against NPCs.

Are there changes to the attacks? To make a player’s team more variable, Pokémon can now learn a second charged attack. This can be effectively used in PvP battles.

Can Pokémon defend themselves? Yes, through the defense shield, a Pokémon can absorb charged attacks from other Pokémon and thus survive longer in battle.

PvP Niantic Image 2

How can I fight against each other? To challenge your opponent, there is a new code system in Pokémon GO. By scanning your opponent’s battle code, you can challenge them.

Can you also fight from a distance? If you are already a Hyperfriend or higher with your opponent, you can challenge them in remote battles. Otherwise, you must be near your opponent.

Pokémon GO Leagues Title

Three battle leagues: A few days ago, Pokémon GO announced on Twitter that there are three different leagues where you can compete against each other. The leagues are set to a CP limit.

Both players receive a reward: To ensure that both players are rewarded in their battle, even the loser of the battle receives a reward.

PvP Niantic Image 3

Sinnoh Stone as a reward: Among other things, you will receive the Sinnoh Stone as a reward from battles. This was no longer guaranteed in the research breakthroughs.

When will the mode be released? Niantic mentioned in their announcement this month. When exactly the mode will be released is not known. However, you will still be able to battle each other this year.

How does fighting work? All detailed information about battles in PvP can be found in our comprehensive guide.

Are you looking forward to the new battle system?

So verdient Ihr in Red Dead Online aktuell über 300$ die Stunde

Despite the poor economy, it’s easy to make money in Red Dead Online. You just need to know how. This method is a solid way to earn several hundred dollars per hour in the multiplayer of Red Dead Redemption 2  .

In Red Dead Online, players struggle with an economy that seems unfair to many. Too little income against too high prices for items. That doesn’t add up.

A player recently shared their method with the Reddit community, which allows them to earn 300 dollars per hour. Sometimes even more.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Arthur Kutsche

How to make a lot of money with salmon in Red Dead Online

On Reddit, user SheReallySaidIt writes about the method to easily make money right now.

  1. Reach rank 14 and get the fishing rod
  2. Go to a merchant in the general store and get a river bait there. It looks like a dragonfly. The river bait is usually unlocked at level 30. With a gold bar you can unlock it immediately – hold the left trigger on the Xbox One controller. Alternatively, you can buy worms – but that will cut into your profit.
  3. Go to the Dakota River at night. Walk along the shore with your lantern and look for the salmon that glow bright red in the light of your lantern. Try to find a large group near the shallow shore. The closer they swim to the shore, the better.
  4. Cast the fishing line right over the fish. They will bite immediately. Since they are so close to the shore, you don’t have to reel in the line for long, saving you a lot of time. It should only take a few minutes to catch the maximum of 10 fish.
  5. Once you have all 10, ride back to Strawberry. It takes about 2 minutes. The butcher will buy your catch for $42.50.
  6. Then go back to the fishing spot. Cast your line once and reel it in again. After that, the fish should respawn quickly.
red-dead-redemption-2-aussicht-mit-fisch

How easily can you get $300 per hour? The Reddit user states that the $300 per hour only comes with practice. At first, he was making less money. The more he mastered this method, the better it went. The peak earnings are over $300 per hour.

If you’re distracted on the side, watching a stream or browsing Reddit, it may only be $160 per hour.

More ways to make quick money can be found here:

von Tarek Zehrer

Can you do it during the day? The method of fishing at night with the lantern is optional. You can also do it during the day and spot the fish well in shallow water.

Where exactly should you search in the Dakota River? The Dakota River flows east of Strawberry. It is not the river that flows through Strawberry. Salmon can be found throughout the entire river. User SheReallySaidIt says, however, that you have a better chance near rocks or fallen trees. With this RDR2 map, you can already get an overview of the locality.

RDR 2 Fishing

This method may be a total grind and really not much fun, but it is the most efficient method players have come across so far.

Rockstar has already announced that they want to address the unfair economy in Red Dead Online with patches. Until then, you’ll be good with the salmon method.

Destiny 2: The Last Word Returns – But You Must Wait

Bungie reveals the mystery of the last weapon exotic from the new DLC “The Black Armory” for Destiny 2. The popular hand cannon “The Last Word” from the predecessor is making a return. However, fans will have to wait a little longer.

That’s why many suspected that the weapon would return: The leaker AnonTheNine had already announced on Reddit some time ago that this exotic hand cannon will be introduced in the first premium DLC. At that time, he was still laughed at by many users.

But this information from him has now turned out to be true. The Last Word will indeed make a comeback.

The Last Word in Destiny 2 – What is known so far

After Bungie hinted at the weapon several times and toyed with the feelings of the fans, it was introduced on December 3 in the official trailer for the weapons of the Black Armory at the end of the clip.

Destiny_20160926213445

What is The Last Word? This is one of the most popular hand cannons in Destiny 1, which will return with the Black Armory. This exotic hand cannon is likely intended for the kinetic slot. In Destiny 1, The Last Word was kinetic.

What made The Last Word special? In Destiny 1, the special feature of The Last Word was that you could shoot the weapon quickly from the hip without the sights, thus unleashing its full potential.

Because with its perk The Last Word, stability and aim assist were significantly increased when firing from the hip.

d2 last word teaser

Among its other strengths was the massive penetration power. Additionally, the perk Fanning also allowed for fully automatic fire.

The Last Word handled very well, and with some practice, you could dominate most enemies in direct confrontations at close to medium range in PvP.

d2 last word teaser 3

How does The Last Word work in Destiny 2? In Destiny 2, the weapon will likely stay true to its form and play similarly to how it did in Destiny 1. However, the exotic perk of the weapon has some differences compared to the version from the predecessor.

The intrinsic perk of The Last Word in Destiny 2 is called Fanning. This perk combines several properties that were spread across multiple perks in the Destiny 1 example.

According to the description of the perk, this weapon can fire quickly and continuously. Additionally, it has faster reload and increased precision after consecutive hit damage from the hip. Therefore, the functionality of the weapon has slightly changed.

d2 last word teaser 2

The Last Word will arrive in Destiny 2 no earlier than January 29

How and when can you get this hand cannon? The Last Word is tied to the exotic quest “The Temptation”, which owners of the Annual Pass will receive as part of the first premium DLC “The Black Armory”.

But even though the Black Armory is opening its doors on December 4, 2018, fans will have to wait a bit longer for The Last Word. The corresponding quest will not be available until January 29, 2019. What exactly the quest will entail is not known yet.

So wants The Division to bind you to the MMO shooter for Christmas

The Division has recently released its plans for December and the Christmas season. Until January, players can look forward to events, a new Shield, and other activities. 

In recent months, it has been quiet in The Division. There has been one Global Event per month, accompanied by a Shield and smaller events. For the Christmas season, players can look forward to a little more than usual.

The plan for December highlights a new Shield. Additionally, two Global Events will take place. These are the plans for December in The Division.

the division dezember

New Shield “Prime” Starts

As every month, there is also a new Shield for December with Prime.

What are Shields? These are in-game challenges that you can complete. By completing them, you can unlock rewards for The Division 1 and 2. There are a total of 12 Shields. The more you complete, the greater the rewards for The Division 2.

This is what you need to do to complete the Prime Shield: You must own three complete classified sets. If you fulfill this already now, the Shield will be automatically completed with your first log-in.

The Division Shields

What are classified sets? Classified sets are stronger versions of the regular sets. You can recognize them by the white folder on the gear image, right next to the gear set symbol. They are among the rarest loot in The Division – this is how you can farm classified gear in 1.8.

A complete set consists of six pieces. So, you cannot just wear four classified and two regular pieces to complete the Shield.

When does the Shield start? From December 6th, the Shield will be active.

Two Global Events – Outbreak and Blackout in December

In December, the routine of starting one Global Event per month will be broken. This time, there will be two events.

You Need to Know About the Global Event Outbreak

When does the Outbreak event start? Outbreak ran in November but will now start again. The Global Event will be active from December 6th to 13th.

These are the modifiers for the Global Event Rush:

  • Outbreak (Always active): In addition to your damage, you inflict “Burning,” “Bleeding Wound,” and “Disoriented” effects, which you can change by reloading.
  • Wild Outbreak (In addition to Rush): Certain effect types deal more damage to your enemies, while they are resistant to others. Resistant enemies deal more damage.
  • Brutal Outbreak (In addition to Rush and Wild Rush): If your teammates kill an enemy within 2 seconds, you receive a damage bonus on your next reload, marked by a skull.

What does the Global Event bring? With special event credits, you can buy classified containers for specific sets. During the Rush event, there will be containers for

the division tunnel

You Need to Know About the Global Event Blackout

When does the Global Event Blackout start? Blackout starts immediately after Rush and runs from December 13th to 20th.

These are the modifiers for the Global Event Blackout: 

  • Blackout (Always active): Gives you shock ammunition and a loading bar over your health display, which fills up by shooting or running. You deal more damage the higher the charge.
  • Extreme Blackout (In addition to Blackout): the next level allows you to unleash an overload in close combat by filling the bar, knocking out your opponents in one blow. This is visually impressive, showcased by a shockwave.
  • Total Blackout (In addition to Blackout and Extreme Blackout): Accelerates your loading bar when you are near group members.

You can pull these classified sets from containers:

You can read all about the Global Event in this detailed guide to Blackout.

New Containers for Outfits, the Christmas Costume Returns

Last year, there are again special containers themed around Christmas. The Advent containers are returning and so is the Christmas costume.

What can you pull from the Advent containers? In addition to pieces for the Santa outfit, you can get various cosmetic items and gestures, all themed around Christmas.

From December 6th, there will also be new containers in The Division. These will be called “Encrypted Collection.”

the division 123

What can you get from these containers? In recent months, The Division has received several generations of outfits. There are a total of four generations of containers with 19 different outfits. The Encrypted Collection now compiles these 19 outfits. You cannot get other items from the containers.

So if you are still missing outfit pieces, this is your opportunity. In return, the containers Mark 1-4 will be removed from the inventory starting January 10th.

The Division is gifting you: From December 6th to January 10th, you can grab a mask for free. You just need to log in during this period.

What do you think of the announcements?

The 4 best free MMORPGs

From a list of 12 popular and successful online role-playing games, we have selected the 4 that were rated particularly well by you.

MMORPGs – Place 4 – Neverwinter

Neverwinter-Stammesloewe

Neverwinter (PC, PS4, Xbox One) is an MMORPG from 2013 by developer Cryptic and publisher Perfect World. The setting is the well-known Forgotten Realms universe from Dungeons & Dragons (D&D). You are offered classic fantasy fare. The graphics are colorful, detailed, and impressive with coherent animations.

Dungeons & Dragons with extra action!

Neverwinter Gambit des Illusionisten

What is particularly cool about Neverwinter is its action-packed, dynamic, and intuitive combat system. You attack quickly, have all your skills easily accessible, and can actively dodge attacks. Even less original hack-and-slash tasks are a lot of fun. Fights against big bosses, on the other hand, require full concentration and attention.

Neverwinter offers the familiar D&D archetypes as classes. You have paladins, rogues, clerics, rangers, wizards, and characters like the demonic warlock. The playable races are also D&D classics such as elves, dwarves, humans, halflings, and half-orcs. There are also exotics like the horned tieflings, drow dark elves, or the scaly “Dragonborn”.

Constantly New Content

neverwinter river district

Also exemplary: The developers at Cryptic release a new update every few months that delivers plenty of new content. Sometimes they battle the ice giants of the north, other times a group of conspiratorial wizards seeks power. And then your heroes find themselves in deadly jungles.

And those who prefer to create their own adventures in true pen-and-paper role-playing tradition can let loose in the included editor “Foundry.” There, you can develop your own scenarios and try out the works of other creative players.

A Feast for Fantasy Fans!

So if you enjoy action-packed battles, regular content boosts, and a colorful D&D fantasy setting, you should definitely check out Neverwinter. Neverwinter is available on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. However, the content for consoles always comes a little later than on PC.

Neverwinter has always been designed for Free2Play. Therefore, there is and has never been a subscription system. You can buy cosmetic items and boosters in the shop. Overall, a fair system.

MMORPGs – Place 3 – TERA

TERA_Classes

TERA (PC, planned: PS4, Xbox One) by the Korean company Bluehole is a colorful online role-playing game in Asia style. The game was released in 2012 and has now become a Free2Play title.

One of the coolest combat systems in the MMORPG genre!

Tera Slayer Class

The coolest thing about TERA is undoubtedly the action-packed combat system! Hardly any MMORPG allows you to spectacularly slice and smash your enemies like TERA! All skills are quickly at hand, the gameplay is fast-paced, action-packed, and intuitive for most classes.

Other hero types require tactical thinking and good timing. Therefore, the battles against the sometimes huge bosses and fights against hordes of monsters in raids and dungeons are particularly exciting.

If you don’t pay attention and master your class optimally, you’ll quickly go under.

Many classes, but often with restrictions

Tera Storm Fury Class

The classes in TERA are quite crazy. Of course, there are the classic knights, archers, priests, wizards, and sword swingers. But then you find options like the sexy Moon Dancer with her glaive, the wildly brawling Storm Fury, or the Arcane Engineer who carries a heavy cannon!

Unfortunately, some of these classes are strictly tied to a race or even a gender. The newer classes Storm Fury, Arcane Engineer, and Moon Dancer are reserved exclusively for female characters.

Colorful graphics with sexy heroes

The playable races in TERA, besides the more conservative humans and elves, are wacky exotics. There are dragon beings, stone giants, demonic Castanic, as well as cute fairy-like creatures and even cuter animal beings in the form of hamsters or puppies! So if you’re tired of the usual cookie-cutter fantasy, you can look forward to some crazy new concepts here.

Thanks to the Unreal Engine 3, it still looks good today and is definitely worth seeing! TERA is currently only available on PC, both on Steam and via the Gameforge publisher’s launcher. However, it is set to be released on the PS4 and Xbox One consoles in 2018.

The Business Model

You can play TERA for free or subscribe. Subscribers have more character slots, boosters, mounts, and daily quests. Pure Free2Play accounts only have 2 slots for heroes and fewer daily tasks. However, you can still experience the entire game. Those who have previously had a subscription that is currently not active receive at least more slots. A good compromise.

Here you can download TERA for free

Now we continue with a classic MMORPG that impresses especially single-player fans.

MMORPGs – Place 2 – SWTOR

swtor-eternal-throne-klein-01

Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR) is an online role-playing game with a classic tab-targeting combat system, timeless comic graphics, and the excellent Star Wars storytelling from Bioware. SWTOR takes place in the same setting as the famous solo RPG Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. SWTOR was released in 2011 under the auspices of Electronic Arts and Bioware and later became a Free2Play title. There is still a subscription, and those who subscribe gain access to the add-ons Knights of the Fallen Empire and Knights of the Eternal Throne. Subscribers also have more slots for skills and cosmetic options such as hiding helmets. Former subscribers receive some of these goodies. Pure Free2Play accounts must either subscribe or unlock additional slots and character spots through microtransactions. So it is worth it, at least once, to have subscribed for the two add-ons.

Old-fashioned Combat System, but Loads of Content

For the combat system and gameplay, Star Wars: The Old Republic certainly won’t win a prize for originality. It features a classic tab-targeting system like World of Warcraft. Active dodging or unguided attacks only occur with area attacks. This makes SWTOR appeal more to nostalgics for whom modern action systems are too hectic.

swtor-eternal-throne-klein-03

The class selection is manageable but well balanced. Each faction, the Republic or the Empire, offers 4 base classes with two further specializations each. There are Jedi Knights, Sith Warriors, Mystics, Inquisitors, Bounty Hunters, Soldiers, Special Agents, and Smugglers. The races all originate from the known Star Wars species such as Twi’lek, Zabrak, Cathar, or Miraluka.

The best storytelling in the genre!

Swtor Aric Jorgan Romance

Because of the combat system, hardly anyone plays SWTOR anyway. The main appeal of the game clearly lies in the story! Back then, SWTOR caused a stir because it truly underscored every mundane collect and hunt quest with fully voiced dialogues.

swtor-arcann-vaylin

Each of the 8 base classes has its own story with unique NPC companions. This allows for many hours of gameplay. The story gets even cooler with the last two expansions, “Knights of the Fallen Empire” and “Knights of the Eternal Throne.”

In this epic story, you fight against a new threat and can become a galactic ruler yourself. You will frequently have to make decisions in the story that can even affect further gameplay. Since the story takes place many hundreds of years before Episode I, the developers can fully unleash their creativity.

An MMO with a heart for solo players

SWTOR ShaeVizlaArmor

The story missions and the entire story of the expansions can be played completely solo. In the expansions, playing alone is even mandatory during the first playthrough! This allows you to fully immerse yourself in the story without being disturbed by annoying fellow players.

Otherwise, there is still plenty of content for groups. You will find masses of dungeons, raids, and even an arcade-style starfighter mode. There is even a PvP version in the style of World of Warplanes!

Next up is a free-to-play MMORPG that offers tons of content.

MMORPGs – Place 1 – Guild Wars 2

Path-of-Fire-Concept-Guild-Wars2

The colorful online role-playing game Guild Wars 2 from NCSoft and Arenanet was released in 2012. Since the end of August 2015, it has been free-to-play in its base version. So you can play the extensive MMORPG completely for free, paying only for the story and the content released in the two expansions. The restrictions of the free-to-play version are minimal; you have fewer character slots and cannot chat in the map chat (as a protection against spammers).

Action Combat System with Target Selection

guild_wars_2_path_of_fire_erzi_07

The combat system of Guild Wars 2 is a hybrid of a completely free action system without fixed target selection and with active dodging as well as a classic tab-target system. This makes Guild Wars 2 feel a bit sluggish and outdated today. However, it is still more dynamic and action-packed than games like SWTOR.

Guild-wars-2-legendaere-ruestung-02

You create your heroes from a colorful selection of races and classes. While the first Guild Wars only had boring humans, in the sequel you can also play tiny Asura, gigantic Norn, feline Charr, and plant-like Sylvari.

The classes are partly well-known archetypes: warriors, mages, and rogues. Other hero types are more original, such as the dark necromancer who decimates enemies with curses and death magic.

A Colorful and Original World to Explore

Guild-Wars-2-Ep4-03

The free base version of Guild Wars 2 already contains a lot of content. You can explore a truly vast world at your leisure. Here you will find dark swamps, the ruins of old Ascalon from the first Guild Wars, the lovely lands of Kryta, the icy wastelands of the north, and the jungles in the southwest.

Unlike many MMORPGs, in Guild Wars 2 you do not have classic quests. Instead, you complete dynamic world events that take place repeatedly on the map. Some of these events build on each other. If you do not fend off an attack from centaurs, the horse people will occupy a outpost and block it until someone drives them away.

This makes the world of Guild Wars 2 feel extremely alive and dynamic.

Cool Story and a Taste of the Addons

The base version of Guild Wars 2 already includes the story of the base game, which promises a long fight against the undead dragon Zhaitan. However, the famous Living Story is still available for real money currency.

Players receive 10 fragments per “Dungeon Clear” and can craft a magic stone with 20 fragments, which can then be used instead of a copy of an equipment piece required for enchanting Epic equipment.

How is the mood in MapleStory 2? The reviews on Steam are at an average of 86% and “Very Positive”. Players are largely enthusiastic about the MMORPG and are also looking forward to the release of the expansion.

Here and there, there’s a bit of criticism about botting and the fact that some balancing could still be worked on, but overall, MapleStory 2 continues to receive very positive feedback.

Destiny 2: Guardians speculate about story twist on these 5 questions

According to a leaked video, a story in Destiny 2 will soon be continued, which was originally thought to be concluded with Forsaken. The community is excited and spinning their own theories about how the story could unfold. The twist raises 5 questions.

Spoiler warning: In this article, we discuss a leaked cutscene that might suggest a significant story twist. It is still unclear which DLC or update the scene belongs to.

If you do not want to know how the story of Destiny 2 could continue, please refrain from reading further.

These 5 questions have the players asking

After many Guardians watched the leaked video, they have come up with their own exciting theories about what the resurrection of Uldren Sov as a Guardian could mean for the story of Destiny 2.

destiny-festival-2-uldren-titel

1. When does the video take place?

This question is of great interest to the Guardians. Knowing at what time the video takes place could help us determine when we can expect the story twist in the game.

As it appears, Uldren Sov is laid to rest in the Dreaming City. Everything around him is calm, the curse seems to have lifted. It would also be a pretty foolish idea to lay someone to rest on a battlefield.

Players assume that the leaked cutscene has less to do with the story of the first premium DLC The Black Armory, but is rather separate from it. Perhaps the video takes place at a time when the curse of the city has already been broken.

The curse could, according to a theory, be broken in February. This would seemingly end the Forsaken story and open a new chapter in the story of Destiny with Uldren.

2. What can the Prince still remember?

The most intriguing question might be whether Uldren can still remember his past deeds after his resurrection by the ghost. After all, he not only has Cayde-6 on his conscience, but he also freed Riven and triggered the curse of the Dreaming City.

If Bungie adheres to the previous lore, the new Guardian – just like we at the beginning of Destiny 1 – will not be able to remember his past life.

Players can decide for themselves how much sympathy they want to have for Uldren: He most likely can remember nothing, not even his sister Mara. All other Guardians in the Tower, where Uldren will most likely appear at some point, know what he has done.

3. Will Uldren be the new Hunter leader?

This theory has persisted ever since it became known that Cayde-6 bites the dust in Forsaken. And it wasn’t even clear then that Uldren would be resurrected as a Guardian.

d2-forsaken-uldren-shot-destiny-2

This daydream that Uldren will become the new Hunter chief gains new fire with the resurrection. In the Marasenna lore is also described that Uldren acted as a scout and hunter in the early days of the Awoken.

Moreover, Guardians are already aware from the quest about the Ace of Space of the challenge Cayde-6 posed to his murderer: Whoever kills Cayde should become the new Hunter leader of the Vanguard.

4. Is the ghost in the video Pulled Pork?

Even more than Uldren’s resurrection, players seem interested in who performs the resurrection. Guardians assume that the ghost is Pulled Pork, in German “Mettigel”.

He was identified by his distinctive ghost shell, which is described in the lore.

The story of Pulled Pork is told in Destiny lore in the article of the same name in the ghost stories. The ghost got his name from Nkechi-32 and Agu, either two Guardians or a Guardian and his ghost, who repeatedly encountered Pulled Pork.

Pulled Pork has reportedly been searching for his Guardian for a very long time, according to the lore even long before the battle at Twilight Gap.

destiny-2-hüter-geist

In the lore, the ghost is described as sweet, kind, and serious or sincere.

Pulled Pork carefully travels across the universe, turning over every stone to find his Guardian. Nkechi-32 and Agu joke in the story that Pulled Pork might find the best Guardian of all time.

Players find this pairing of a sweet and kind ghost and the seemingly bad-tempered and sarcastic Uldren particularly interesting.

5. Did Mara orchestrate the whole story?

Since Forsaken, Guardians have been suspicious of the Awoken Queen, Mara Sov. After all, we have known since the expansion that Mara intended to take control of the Taken with the help of Eris Morn when Oryx meets his end.

The Marasenna lore book does not cast a particularly good light on the queen either.

destiny-königin-mara-sov

Some players in the Destiny subreddit have the theory that Mara foresaw what would happen to her brother and made arrangements accordingly. And once again, the ghost Pulled Pork stands at the center of this thought.

In the Pulled Pork lore, the two Guardians notice that the ghost has a new shell. Riff-violet with a flower-like silhouette and silver details. When asked about it, the ghost says that the shell was a gift.

Players speculate that Mara gifted the ghost the shell and manipulated him to resurrect her brother centuries later. Thus, he could function as a mole in the Tower.

Do you also have theories about Uldren’s resurrection? Which of the theories seems the most fitting to you?

Top streamer Ninja has just as bad friends in Fortnite as you do

In Fortnite: Battle Royale Ninja invited his pals live to an event in real life. That was not a good idea in the end.

What did Ninja do? During an event for his soundtrack CD “Ninjawerks” in LA, the top streamer Ninja naturally played Fortnite live again. This time, however, other famous streamers and Ninja’s friends were also present.

Among them were DrLupo and TimTheTatMan. They stood around Ninja while he was gaming live.

And they were anything but helpful.

With friends like these, who needs enemies

What did Ninja’s friends do? Ninja’s pals were by no means calm and peaceful. Instead, they constantly trolled and teased the star. Lupo, for instance, kept interrupting with comments like “You’re terrible at this game” or “This is bad”.

Friends kill Ninja during the stunt: The trolls reached the climax of their antics when Ninja wanted to showcase his skills with the Quad-Launcher. The streamer had just built a ramp and was preparing for a cool stunt.

He was just about to achieve over 200,000 points through aerial acrobatics when DrLupo sneakily pressed the exit button.

Ninja fell to the ground with loud screams and crashed down. To add to the humiliation, a random player came by and sprayed a corpse outline on the ground where Ninja had died.

This is how Ninja’s friends mocked the report scandal: Immediately after, Ninja’s friends demanded “Report it!” for this “disrespect” and opened the window to report unwanted players. Ninja quickly closed it while loudly complaining about the trolling action.

The joke about reporting was a reference to the scandal involving Ninja, who had reported players multiple times because he thought they had played unfairly.

Friend rubs more salt in the wound

This is how the trolling continued: To further tease Ninja, DrLupo continued. He tweeted, “Glider redeployment is no longer in the game, Ninja. Why did you jump out of the quad?”

In response, Ninja had only one reply, which wasn’t entirely serious: “I hate you!” But seriously, how would you react if someone ruined the game for you so meanly?

WoW: How Island Rewards Work with 8.1 – What You Need to Know

The rewards of the island expeditions in World of Warcraft are a great mystery. Blizzard now clearly reveals how it will change with patch 8.1.

Island expeditions are still one of the major features of World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth. However, there has been a lot of frustration and confusion about how exactly the rewards work and how to farm rewards most effectively.

How has the loot worked on islands so far? Blizzard has confirmed that the community was correct in their assumptions. When certain creatures of a “group” are killed, the chance for loot from that specific group increases.

  • So anyone who kills Murlocs has a chance for special Murloc rewards.
  • On the other hand, those who kill dragons can receive special dragon items.
World of Warcraft Battle for Azeroth Island Expeditions Azerite 1

This applied to all groups. We explained this in detail in this article.

This is how the island loot will change with patch 8.1: With patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance, the loot received at the end of an island expedition will be independent of the number of defeated enemies or their group affiliation. Only the existing enemies on an island decide what loot will be left behind.

An example: An island is primarily populated by Naga, and a dragon invasion is also taking place.

Upon completion of the island, all players have a chance for Naga and dragon loot, regardless of whether they primarily killed Naga and dragons.

World of Warcraft Battle for Azeroth Island Expeditions Promo 3

Which playstyle is most worthwhile with 8.1? Due to these changes, the most rewarding way to complete an island is always the fastest. Those who are particularly quick can complete more islands in a shorter time and should therefore be able to earn more rewards.

This is how the community reacts: The reactions from the community to the change are not only positive.

  • While it’s praised that island expeditions can now be completed in the most efficient way to receive rewards
  • There are also many negative voices. Because those who now want to “target” farm an item are even more dependent on random factors than before.
World of Warcraft Battle for Azeroth Island Expeditions Promo 3 Title gobbo cry

So far, players could also kill individually scattered opponents of a specific faction to increase the chance; now they are completely reliant on the RNG of the respective invasion.

Cortyn says: I welcome the changes, as there will now be no discrepancy between players who only want rewards and those who just want to finish quickly. Both will now achieve their goals through the same means. That I have to accept a bit more RNG for that is manageable for me.

What do you think of these changes? Does it make islands more worthwhile? Or is it just a drop in the bucket?

With patch 8.1, the layout and gameplay of island expeditions will also change!

Destiny 2: This is why I’m hot for the Black Armory

In Destiny 2, the release of the first premium DLC “The Black Armory” is approaching. Our author Sven explains what he is particularly looking forward to regarding the Black Armory.

The Black Armory launches today, on December 4, 2018. It is the first of three DLCs for owners of the Annual Pass.  The scope and individual contents of this DLC are currently being extensively discussed by numerous fans.

Here you can find out what our Destiny author Sven thinks about the first premium content delivery.

Forsaken was important for Destiny 2, but not everything

That’s why Forsaken was important for the game: One thing upfront – in my opinion, the major Forsaken expansion was an enormously important cornerstone for the future of Destiny 2.

Destiny 2 Forsaken barone uldren Title

Its most important task has been fulfilled for me by Forsaken, as it addressed and eliminated numerous core problems of the game:

  • Random Rolls
  • exciting loot
  • new lore
  • collections
  • titles
  • numerous quality-of-life features.

All of this and more was clearly missing from Destiny 2 before Forsaken.

I never really warmed up to Forsaken: However, even though the major fall expansion probably saved Destiny 2 and the game made an enormous leap in the right direction, I was not happy with all the content of the big fall expansion.

destiny-2-hüter

With the setting of Forsaken – especially in the Dreaming City – I never really warmed up. I mostly felt more like I was in Lord of the Rings and not in Destiny.

What I’m looking forward to with the Black Armory

Even though I have not played the DLC yet, I noticed during the presentation of the Black Armory that a lot of what I have been missing in Destiny 2 is now coming into the game.

The look is right again: With the Black Armory, Destiny 2 finally gets the look I have wanted for a long time. Until now, my Guardians often seemed like medieval knights or fantasy figures from a Tolkien novel and not like highly technological warriors from the future.

D2_Black_Armory_Press_Kit_Gear_01

Really cool mechanical armor designs, which I would have liked to equip my Guardians with, have so far been scarce and only available in isolated cases.

Furthermore, most of these examples became worthless with Forsaken, as they dated back to the first year of Destiny 2, such as the Escalation Protocol gear. Only the remake of the “Prison of Elders” armor for the Hunter caught my attention in Forsaken.

But those times are soon to be over for me.

I love the new armor design of the Black Armory. Finally, I am getting at least one armor set per character that truly matches my taste and my idea of aesthetics. I am placing further hopes in the yet unknown new raid armor.

D2_Black_Armory_Press_Kit_Gear_12

The weapon design of the Black Armory is moving more in the direction of Destiny 1 and distancing itself from the WW2 look from Gambit or the Iron Banner, which I have never really understood.

I am a Guardian in the future. Why should I run around with weapons that my grandfather could have fought with?

The raid setting is interesting again: The Forsaken raid “Last Wish” or activities like the Broken Throne I have not really played extensively. Not because I found them too difficult or did not have a group for them – the setting completely failed to resonate with me.

I much preferred fighting against the mysterious Vex in the Glass Chamber or against SIVA-modified Fallen in Wrath of the Machines.

And with the new raid “Scourge of the Past”, yet another big wish of mine is fulfilled. Finally, I can fight Fallen in a tangible setting, the Last City, and no longer have to chase a dragon that I then have to slay like a knight in a fairy tale.

destiny-raid-zorn-vosik

According to Bungie, the action-packed fights in the new raid are said to be similar to those in Wrath of the Machines. This also made me very happy. After all, Wrath of the Machines was one of my absolute favorite raids, and I have been wishing for a similarly structured activity for a long time.

While I enjoy challenges, even in the form of mechanics, I would prefer to fight against enemies and bosses rather than just primarily against the mechanics, as was very much the case in the Year 1 raid encounters.

Cool new exotics: Most of the new exotics have also caught my attention. Although we will have to wait and see how the new weapons perform in practice, at least on paper, the new exotics look really exciting and, in my opinion, are worthy of the designation “exotic”. The gameplay of the new weapons also looks really strong.

D2_Black_Armory_Press_Kit_Gear_10

Additionally, with the exotic hand cannon The Last Word returning, I am one of the happiest Guardians in the world. And honestly – which Guardian does not get excited about new exotics?

Matchmaking in the new group activity: Group activities like the Blind Well are among the most enjoyable activities for my Guardians in Destiny 2. I particularly enjoyed the Escalation Protocol. Therefore, I found it unfortunate that Bungie has not yet managed to establish a player search feature for such activities.

Although you sometimes meet other Guardians there or can try to find more players by changing instances, I have always wished for a matchmaking system for these types of group content.

In the new 3-player activity “Forging the Chain,” Bungie now offers integrated player search – without any detours. This is something I and certainly many other fans have been waiting for a long time.

D2_Black_Armory_Press_Kit_Forge1_04

That’s why the Black Armory is worth €11 to me

New content plan: With the start of Season 5, Bungie is now taking a different approach to provide players with content. While all owners are provided with some free content during the respective seasons of Destiny 2, additional premium content like the Black Armory comes at an extra cost.

This premium content is not available individually, but only as a bundle as part of the Annual Pass – a kind of season pass for the second year of Destiny 2. This can be purchased either in some Forsaken or Destiny 2 bundles, or also individually for €35. A premium DLC therefore costs approximately more than €11 (or €10 if you purchased the season pass at the same time).

This is why the Black Armory convinces me: Although I do not yet know how the contents of the Black Armory will play, this DLC is already worth this money to me.

D2_Black_Armory_Press_Kit_Gear_08

Because Destiny is and remains my great love and a real hobby. So I will continue to stay loyal to the game. And the Black Armory brings me for €10 more of what I have wished for in the near future:

  • more legendary loot
  • a new raid with a fresh setting
  • new exotics to chase
  • a new 3-person activity that will drop items up to the new max power level after a certain point

In principle, the Black Armory mainly brings one thing: More endgame content. And indeed the only new endgame content. There will be no further substantial content – at least not without the Annual Pass.

D2_Black_Armory_Press_Kit_Vault_01

The DLC offers more than expected: So I can already say that I will definitely get my money’s worth with what is being offered here for €11. Even if the content is stretched or may not fully convince in the long run.

Because just a trip to the cinema for a two-hour movie costs me more money. The new Destiny content will certainly entertain me longer. Personally, I expected much less value for €11 than what has already been announced with the Black Armory DLC.

Regardless of whether this new content policy from Bungie is right and player-friendly or not – as a huge Destiny fan, I am certainly willing to spend this money for the announced content, rather than standing still without new content until at least March 2019.

Fortnite: With this hidden emote combo, you mock your opponents meanly

In Fortnite: Battle Royale there is a new emote that allows you to hold up random scoreboards. With this trick, you will definitely score 0 points and troll your opponents especially hard.

How does the new scoreboard emote work? The new emote “Scoreboard” in Fortnite allows you to hold up a board with a number between 0 and 10. So just like a judge at a competition.

What is the emote good for? Unfortunately, the number is triggered randomly. Therefore, the emote is not suitable for judging the actions of teammates, as you have no control over the drawn numbers.

https://youtu.be/fKwRVFXsz2Q

However, there is a trick that allows you to always give a trolling 0 points and thus mock your opponents to the maximum.

How to always score 0 points with the emote

With this combination, you are nasty mockers: Fortunately, clever players have already figured out how to manipulate the scoreboards and guarantee 0 points. It works as follows:

Just perform the emote “Take the L” (Losses happen) beforehand and then follow it up with the scoreboard emote. This will always display a 0 and mock your opponents to the utmost.

Is this intentional or a bug? So far, Epic has not commented on this combo. So it could be that it is a bug that might eventually be fixed. Until then, you should still be able to use the nasty combination without any problems.

How do I get the “Take the L” dance? That is a problem because the mocking dance was only available in the Season Pass for Season 3. If you didn’t play back then or didn’t have the pass, there is currently no way to get the emote.

However, Epic may still bring the dance to the in-game shop at a later date. When and if that will ever be the case is currently unknown.

Pokémon GO: How to find Tragosso for the Meltan quest

For the Meltan quest in Pokémon GO, players need to catch Tragosso. We will show you how easily you can solve the quest.

The Pokémon Tragosso is part of the Meltan quest. At stage 7 out of 9, you need to catch a Tragosso to complete the task. However, players are currently finding very few Tragosso in the wild.

We will give you tips on how to catch this Ground-type Pokémon.

How to catch Tragosso in Pokémon GO

Tragosso is a Pokémon that does not appear very often, especially in Germany. It was part of the Let’s-GO event and was frequently found. However, it now seems to not appear at all anymore. But you need one for the Meltan quest.

Pokémon GO Meltan Neu Titel

Why is the Meltan quest harder? Since the end of the Let’s-GO event, it has become even more difficult to solve some tasks of the Meltan quest. Pokémon like Anorith or Aerodactyl have also become harder to find since the event ended, but are part of the quest.

This is how you encounter Tragosso in the wild: As a normal spawn, Tragosso hardly appears anymore. If you have sunny weather in the game, then you have better luck. The spawns of the Pokémon are increased then. Additionally, Tragosso is a popular nest Pokémon. So go to your local parks to check the nests. Maybe there is a Tragosso nest.

Tragosso through raids: Tragosso itself is not available as a raid boss. However, the Alolan form of Knogga, the evolution of Tragosso, is. If you catch Alolan Knogga in raids, you can successfully complete the quest “Catch a Tragosso” as Knogga also counts for this quest. This is also confirmed by several players on Reddit.

pokemon_icon_105_61

What could help further? In the past, Niantic has regularly held events to help players complete their special research. Often, Magikarp is featured as an event Pokémon in various events, so that players can complete their Gyarados for the Mew quest.

Such an event could also come soon with Tragosso and the other Pokémon from the Meltan quest.

Have you already completed the Meltan quest?

You can now also look forward to cancelled EX raids in Pokémon GO

Fallout 76 compensates €200 buyers now with canvas bag

Bethesda is currently having a tough time. The company seems to be stumbling from one misstep to the next and is now trying to mitigate damages. For example, with the bags that came with the Power Armor Edition of Fallout 76.

Bethesda now wants to appease buyers of the Collector’s Edition of Fallout 76 and is offering to send out the “real” canvas bags.

The “Bag Scandal”

What happened? Bethesda announced a canvas bag for the Power Armor Edition of Fallout 76. Without notifying customers, this was replaced with a nylon one.

A shitstorm followed. Especially after it became known that Bethesda had produced canvas backpacks, but gave them to YouTubers instead of the buyers of the Collector’s Edition.

A compensation of 500 atoms for the online game was perceived as a mockery by many players.

How are players reacting? The decision to finally deliver the advertised bags pleases most fans. However, others seem too disappointed by how the situation around Fallout 76 has unfolded in recent weeks since the release.

Some players believe that Bethesda is not sending the new bags out of goodwill, but because their lawyers may have advised them to do so. After all, Bethesda is even facing a class action lawsuit. Among other things, due to the canvas bags.

For some players, it sounds suspicious, as Bethesda recently stated that the material was not available and they would not be doing anything about the bags. However, Bethesda has distanced itself from that statement. They subsequently described it as “outrageous and incorrect.” It came from a contract employee, not from a spokesperson for Bethesda.

Red Dead Online addresses one of the biggest criticisms

The prices and earnings in Red Dead Online are something that many players criticize. One of the first updates for the online mode of Red Dead Redemption 2 aims to tackle these issues.

In recent days, player complaints have become louder, with many finding the in-game prices in Red Dead Online unfair. Players receive too little money to afford most items without grinding. While there are other problems in the online mode, the unfair economy has been one of the most frequently criticized aspects by the community.

Rockstar heard these complaints and stated that updates are being planned based on player feedback. The balance of the in-game economy is now the focus.

Rockstar wants to adjust prices and wages in Red Dead Online

On Twitter, the Rockstar Games account announced that they are grateful for the participants in the beta. They appreciate the feedback. The player responses should now help improve every area of Red Dead Online.

Red Dead Online Twitter Update economy

What does Rockstar want to change? In the announcement, it states: Current focuses include the in-game economy, which needs a certain balance. The aim is to ensure that all activities are appropriately entertaining and rewarding. Additionally, they plan to fix some bugs that cause players to disconnect from their current sessions.

Recently, players complained that a can of baked beans in Red Dead Online is worth more than a wedding ring. Rockstar has not yet explained which other bugs they intend to fix besides the disconnects. Perhaps the boats falling from the sky are also included.

Can the problems be easily fixed? Rockstar states that they developed Red Dead Online in a way that allows such adjustments to be made easily.

Red Dead Online earn money title

When will the updates come? Initial updates are expected to be released by the end of this week. Further updates will follow next week. Until then, you can still use this method to earn $300 per hour in Red Dead Online.

What do players say about it? Overall, the mood in the community has improved after this announcement. People are pleased that Rockstar acknowledges the problems and hopes for a better pricing/wage system soon.

However, players also express doubts. Reddit user JonnieDirtnap writes: Hopefully, the economic fix will result in missions for strangers and looting corpses providing more money, rather than reducing the selling prices for fish and hunting items.

Battlefield 5 delays Chapter 1 Overture at the last minute

Everyone who was looking forward to the first free content delivery for Battlefield 5 today will have to continue to exercise patience. The release of the first Tides of War DLC Chapter 1 Overture will be delayed.

What happened? Today, December 4, 2018, the first chapter of the new live service Tides of War was supposed to be released for Battlefield V – Chapter 1: Overture. Just yesterday, DICE had prepared the fans for the new content. However, as the developers announced a few hours ago on Twitter, Overture has now been postponed at short notice.

First Tides of War update for Battlefield 5 postponed due to issue

Why is Chapter 1 for Battlefield 5 delayed? DICE explained that a problem with the “Chapter 1 Overture” update was discovered at the last moment. Instead of creating further problems in the game, they decided to hold back the update for the time being. They did not provide further details about the issues.

When will the first Tides of War update come? DICE did not provide a specific date. However, the tweet stated that they do not expect a long delay. There could be news about it today.

On the official Twitter account of Xbox, there was a tweet that mentioned December 5 as the new date. However, this message has since been deleted.

What about the patch for Battlefield 5? This is still unclear. The developers stated that the Tides of War update will be postponed. Whether the complete patch for Battlefield 5 will be delayed, which should also adjust the Time to Kill, or just the first free content delivery will take longer, is not known.

How are the fans reacting? Many fans are disappointed and react with mockery. “Welcome to Battlefield” is a common sentiment from Reddit users. They were initially excited about the new content that should have been in the game from the start, only to have it postponed moments later. Many are therefore annoyed and frustrated.

However, there are also voices calling for reason, emphasizing that it is better to hold back a flawed update briefly than to create more problems in the game.

Overwatch: How evil can a Torbjorn get when you play against him

Since its overhaul, the Overwatch hero Torbjörn has been receiving increased attention. Now a fan has taken the effort to produce a tribute video to the Swedish engineer.

This is what the community thinks about Torbjörn: The YouTuber dopatwo based his video on the meme that suggests players on opposing teams are always better than their own. The star of his project: Torbjörn.

He sharply depicts the impact of the overhaul of Torbjörn in the short video. The Swede emerges from a hellish portal and simultaneously has a Terminator-like appearance complete with a cyber-eye and interface reminiscent of Arnie.

Without much effort, Torbjörn then employs his new skills against an entire group of opponents and takes them out single-handedly. You can lose so quickly if your team isn’t careful. By the way: The opponents don’t really melt in Torbjörn’s new Ultimate. But they scream and that sounds pretty dirty.

Have you had similar experiences with overly good opposing players?
