Scourge of the Past starts on Friday
When does the raid start? The raid kicks off on Friday, December 7, at 6 PM. There will also be a World-First race as usual.

What requirements does the raid have? Bungie recommends that you have a power level of 640. This is only 10 levels below the new power level cap of 650. However, there is no minimum requirement to participate in the raid.
What can you expect in the raid? Bungie promises an adrenaline-fueled adventure for everyone. They compare the raid with “Wrath of the Machine” from Destiny 1. Whether the raid can ultimately hold its own against the raid from Destiny 1 remains to be seen.
Are you joining the new raid? What do you think is behind the secret?
The first update for Red Dead Online is on the way. This changes money and gold prices as well as rewards in the multiplayer of RDR 2. We show you in the patch notes in German what is included.
In recent days, there has been a lot of criticism of the economy of Red Dead Online. Players complained that the prices of some items are far too high and the wages, in comparison, are far too low. One example mentioned was a can of beans that has a higher value than a wedding ring.
Rockstar listened to the players’ feedback and is now implementing changes in Red Dead Online.
Red Dead Online Patch on December 6 – Patch Overview
What are the changes? Today, on December 6, the first changes will be implemented in the beta of Red Dead Online. According to Rockstar, these changes are intended to provide more fun, balance, and a satisfying gaming experience in all modes and missions.
Increased money and gold payouts
This is available in various activities such as free roam missions and events, replays of missions from “A Land of Opportunities”, showdown series, and more.
Lower purchase prices
Most weapons in the catalog of Wheeler, Rawson & Co and at gunsmiths are now cheaper. Players who have already purchased these weapons will receive a refund of the difference. This refund may take until December 10. Once credited to you, you will recognize this by an in-game message.
Adjustments of money values
Certain pelts, skins, and fish as well as horse feeders and brochures have been adjusted in price. Exactly how the values will change is still unclear.
What are the developers planning next? After these adjustments, the developers will continue to address the issues that regularly exclude players from sessions.
Additionally, they will continue to monitor and keep an eye on the feedback from the community.
In the first week of the new Season 7 in Fortnite, you will find a hidden star. The clue is, as always, hidden in the wallpaper.
Every week, the challenges in Fortnite: Battle Royale change, which players have to solve. In the new Season 7, there are also these weekly tasks. In the first week, you mainly have to dance.
If you have solved all the tasks, you will receive a secret star that allows you to level up in your Battle Pass.
Where can I find this star? You don’t just receive the star as a reward. It is hidden in a different location each week. The loading screen, which also changes every week, reveals where you need to search. We will show you where to find it this week.
Where can you find the secret star from week 1?
What can be seen on the loading screen? The loading screen this week shows many new features that came with Season 7 to Fortnite. A new skin is hanging on a zip line and flying through the air.
Where is the hidden message? The hidden message that leads to the bonus star can be found in the background of the image. There you see a submarine standing on a mountain. Above the submarine, you can faintly see the bonus star. This submarine is also part of the standard tasks. You must dance on it.
Where should one search? The submarine is located near Frosty Flights, the place where the new airplanes can be found in Fortnite. Since the submarine is on a high mountain, you need to climb the mountain that is near Frosty Flights.
How to get the bonus star? In order to even have a chance at the bonus star, you must complete all standard tasks for week 1. Only then can you find the star.
Video for assistance: To help you find the exact spawn of the star, we have included a video that shows the location. This way you can’t miss it.

A new Far Cry installment has been announced with a teaser, which will show more at the Game Awards 2018. Players have their own ideas and wishes about what they would like to see in the next part of the series.
Unexpectedly comes often: Ubisoft has announced the next game in the Far Cry series with a small teaser. The game, which is set in a post-apocalyptic world, is supposed to be officially introduced at the Game Awards 2018.
Fans seem pleased with the new title, especially the setting, which seemingly takes place after Far Cry 5, is well received. Players have already shared their theories and wishes about what the apocalypse should include.
Spoiler warning: In this article, we will also discuss the ending of Far Cry 5. If you plan to play the title, you should not continue reading!
Teaser suggests a post-apocalyptic Far Cry
This is shown by the teaser: The short video depicts a farm that could be located in Hope County, the setting of Far Cry 5. While a voice speaks about how no one was prepared for the end, a mushroom cloud rises.
The narrator mentions that the flames had consumed everything and that death rolled through the Valley. The world turned dark and cold. But eventually, the rain and the wind ceased and a new world blossomed.
Humanity felt hope again, according to the narrator. But this hope was misguided.
It seems that the new installment in the series will pick up right after an ending of Far Cry 5. The fifth installment had three endings, one of which ended in a nuclear war.

Currently, players are still debating whether the new title is a spinoff the size of Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon or a true “Far Cry 6”.
However, players are looking forward to a post-apocalyptic spinoff. A user on Reddit predicted this even months ago, but no one believed him back then.
Back to Hope County: While not everyone was satisfied with the endings of Far Cry 5, others are pleased that the story picks up from the nuclear ending. Some even feel reconciled with the ending if Ubisoft would pick up directly from Far Cry 5 with the new title.
Some players are looking forward to seeing the “Father” again and learning what happened to the Deputy. The actor Greg Bryk, who plays the character, already hinted in August that the story surrounding the “Father” Joseph Seed is not yet finished.
Some see the mention of the “Valleys” in the teaser as a hint that it could return to Holland Valley, one of the regions of Far Cry 5.
Competition with Fallout 76: Some players draw parallels to Fallout 76 and tease that Ubisoft might be making the better Fallout game. Some even refer to the new Far Cry spinoff as “Fall Cry,” a mix of Fallout and Far Cry.
Criticism of Sequel: However, there is also criticism of the supposed successor to Far Cry 5. Some Reddit users believe that Ubisoft removed the ability to continue playing after the ending of Far Cry 5 from the game. Now they are trying to sell this option as a sequel. One of the major criticisms of Far Cry 5 was that there was hardly anything to do after the ending of the game.
On YouTube, there are some voices expressing a preference for a completely new Far Cry with a different setting.
Moreover, some players are wondering why a new Far Cry title is already being announced. Far Cry 5 was only released on March 27, 2018. The games in the series have not been released annually so far.
What do you wish for from the next Far Cry? Do you want to go back to Hope County or should the next title take place in a completely different location?
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
The developers of the upcoming sci-fi MMO Dual Universe have released a new video featuring alpha footage. It shows nearly an hour of gameplay and some features that Dual Universe is supposed to offer.
This is what you can see: In the 53-minute video, Novaquark, the developers of Dual Universe, showcase what their new project has to offer. The alpha version is played and commented on by CEO JC Baillie and game designer Baptiste Agati.
Dual Universe shows with the video that it is getting closer to a playable version. The game fully relies on its community. Baillie himself speaks with a certain pride in his voice about what is possible in Dual Universe. The features shown in the video include:
free construction of buildings and vehicles like hoverbikes
trading between players
exploration of vast worlds
crafting
player-built spaceships
Building and exploration are supposed to be features that you can experience with friends.
What to expect in Dual Universe: Dual Universe wants to achieve a lot, and these ambitions have been critically observed by many gamers in the past. Critics had the impression that Dual Universe wants too much and may remain in perpetual development.
However, the first reactions from fans to the video are very positive and confirm the CEO’s pride in the game. The new trailer strengthens the hopes of many for a good, new MMO that will also see its release.
Dual Universe aims to offer players maximum freedom and is an indie alternative to the sci-fi giant Star Citizen. The core pillars of the game are supposed to be exploration, building, trading, and conquest.
The new Archer class will be playable starting December 12, 2018. However, players of Black Desert can create their own Archer now and win various prizes.
The new Archer class will be released in Black Desert next week. Players can participate in various events and grab many items. We will show you how you can receive certain rewards.
Get creative in the character editor now
In Black Desert, players usually have a week before the release of a new class to play around in the game’s character editor. On release day, you can start playing immediately. You will have exactly 7 days to shape your Archer according to your wishes.
Free character slot: Until December 12, you can purchase a character slot for the Archer for 1 loyalty point. Players receive 100 loyalty points for logging in every day. This is a currency with which they can buy certain items in the game’s premium shop.
With this decision, Kakao Games seems to have listened to the players’ criticism. They had criticized that there was no free character slot for the last class, Lahn, and that players had to buy one instead.
You can pre-register for the class on the official Archer website. For this, you will receive
2 gold bars of 100G, which you can convert into silver,
a blessing from Kamalsilve for 7 days, which increases your loot chance, and
3 event scrolls: loot that increases your loot rate.
Useful items at the start: Additionally, there are rewards if you create your Archer before December 12. These include many practical items.
You will receive a free inventory expansion of 8 slots. Additionally, your character can carry 50 LT more. An increased carrying capacity and a larger inventory are very practical in Black Desert.
You will receive an accessory box: Asula, with which you can equip your Archer immediately.
A Valk’s blessing will arrive in your inventory. This item increases the chance of successfully enhancing your equipment.
Two gold bars of 100G can be converted into silver or stored.
And a horse flute for 7 days, which allows you to call your horse from up to 500 meters away.
The items will be delivered to you by mail in the game starting December 12.
Show your Archer and win a complete costume set with a bit of luck
Take a photo and win: In parallel to these other events, a photo competition is starting. Players can submit a picture of their created Archer and win various prizes. To do this, you must create your individual sharpshooter in character creation. Winners will be determined in the unique and other categories. So go wild and create a unique Archer.
Your created Archer should not look like this.
Then open the album and take a photo, to which you must give a title. Choose one of the available categories, such as beautiful, unique, or ugly, and save the image.
With a bit of luck, your Archer will win one of 7 clothing sets and the item Merv’s Palette, which allows you to dye your clothing as many times as you want during the period.
InFortnite: Battle Royale there is again a Battle Pass with tons of items in Season 7. Find out here what you can obtain in this time in the Fortnite Battle Pass.
What’s included in the new Battle Pass? The new Battle Pass for Season 7 is once again packed with skins, toys, pets, emotes, gliders, and other stuff.
In the following gallery, you can see the individual contents and tiers of the Pass:
The Highlights of the Battle Pass of Season 7
Here are the best skins: The four skins Zenit, Luchs, Sergeant Winter, and Ice King are all customizable.
The first two skins level up with experience points.
Sergeant Winter is improved through daily tasks.
And for the Ice King, you must survive many opponents.
New Feature – Paintjobs: With the paintjobs, you can change the appearance of your weapons and vehicles in the game. You can set a different style for each weapon type in the locker. This way, your gun can become bright red, winter green, or golden.
New Pets: The hamster lady Hamirez is a new pet that you can carry on your back in a wheel. Additionally, there is a new wolf named Remus.
New Toys: In addition to gold and basketball, you can now throw a hockey puck. And then a Durr-Burger is also available as a projectile.
Information about the Battle Pass
What is the new Battle Pass in Season 7? The Battle Pass in Fortnite is a collection of items and skins. The further you progress in the game, the more items you unlock. Progress comes via experience points from battles or by completing daily and weekly challenges.
How much does the Battle Pass cost? The Battle Pass has always cost 950 V-Bucks since Season 3, which is 9.50 euros. If you do not buy the Pass, you can still unlock levels and get some lesser rewards. Your progress will still count if you purchase the Pass later.
Is the Pass worth it? The Battle Pass is definitely worth it if you plan to play Fortnite more often. You will receive more rewards and stay engaged. Also, when you complete the Pass up to level 97, you will receive a total of 1,500 V-Bucks as rewards.
This way, the Pass has practically paid for itself, and you will have 550 bucks left over.
You can find the other highlights of Season 7 here:
EA has released the new Title Update 5 for PC in FIFA 19 today. The patch mainly makes changes to precision shots. We summarize the changes.
The Title Update 5 for FIFA 19 on PC is here. Consoles should be updated a week later. The changes mainly affect the “First time finesse shots.” These are precision shots that are taken directly without controlling the ball.
This changes: If a finesse shot is taken with direct control, the shot is now less accurate after the update.
What does this even mean? The angle now determines more strongly whether the shot hits its target or not. Overall, the ball will miss its target more often for finesse shots that are taken without ball control after the update. EA has illustrated this in a graphic:
Before the update:
After the update:
This was tested in the graphic with Eden Hazard from Chelsea FC. The blue lines indicate a hit, while the red lines indicate a miss. The shots were taken from an angle of 86.25°.
In addition to finesse shots, there are also changes to the Elastico skill.
This changes: Apparently, EA has responded to player feedback here. Players reported that the ball was too far away from the player when the skill was executed. This should no longer happen after the update. The update adjusts the distance between the ball and the player when the skill is used.
In this video, EA shows with a 5-star skill player how the changes affect gameplay. You can find the detailed patch notes as always on the official page.

The 1st week in Season 7 of Fortnite requires you to dance on a crown made of trailers, on a metal turtle, and on a submarine. We will show you how to easily complete the “Dance on Crown” tasks in Fortnite.
Dancing is an important theme in Season 7 of Fortnite. Right in the first week, there are two tasks that require you to show off your dance moves.
In the last phase, you need to dance on a submarine. However, it is not located in water, as one might expect.
Where is the submarine in Fortnite? You will find it southwest of Polar Peak at coordinates B 8.
You will find the submarine at the top of an icy mountain.
Things to keep in mind for the challenge: Keep in mind that you need to finish a match in the normal way for the dances to count towards the Battle Pass. Dancing, leaving the match, and traveling to a new location does not count.
You need to finish a match normally after dancing. Winning is not necessary. You just must not manually leave the match while still alive.
We show you three decks that will help you to get started in the Hearthstone expansion “Rastakhan’s Rumble”.
The new expansion for Hearthstone has been released for a few days now. With 135 new cards, Rastakhan’s Rumble offers plenty of potential for new deck ideas that can give your opponents a hard time. For those who don’t want to search for solid decks themselves, we would like to present three solid variants here. Some new cards are included, and these decks have proven to be quite promising so far.
Priests now have access to the powerful Bwonsamdi with Rastakhan’s Rumble, which allows them to draw minions costing 1 from the deck until their hand is full. In combination with the Spirit of the Dead, which transforms dead friendly minions into 1-mana copies and puts them back into the deck, there are particularly many simple “One Turn Kill” combinations possible.
Through Prophet Velen and Malygos, the damage of a single Mind Blast can be increased to over 60 damage.
How to Play the Deck? It is especially important to play the Spirit of the Dead at the right moment to create many strong 1-mana minions that Bwonsamdi can later benefit from. If the opponent cannot deal with the board and leaves large minions like Velen, Malygos, or the Lich King on the field, you can of course win prior.
Otherwise, you wait for the combination of Bwonsamdi and the 1-mana variants of Malygos and Velen to clear the board with Mind Blast and Holy Fire.
Not every player has a lot of time or wants to spend a lot of money on Hearthstone. But you can still have some fun with cheap decks without breaking the bank. This deck may not be the optimal choice, but it is an affordable variant to simply try out the Warlock.
How to Play the Deck? Generally, this Warlock plays like almost all “Zoolocks”. You try to get as many minions on the board as quickly as possible and aim to win before the opponent can execute their strategy. The new cards used here are merely Cruel Sacrifice and Spirit of the Bat. The Cruel Sacrifice buffs all minions on the Warlock’s board, while the Spirit of the Bat may take some tempo from the deck but scores big in the upcoming turns and buffs cards in hand.
However, the chances of winning decrease with this deck the longer a match lasts. Those who already have better cards can naturally swap them out for others in the deck. Newcomers or thrifty players should be well advised with this deck.
Hunters have long relied on their strong minions, as wild beasts often come with special abilities. In the last expansions of Hearthstone, this has changed, and solid “Spell Hunters” are appearing more frequently. One of these is the “Zul’jin Spell Hunter” deck from the well-known streamer Kripparian, which brings joy to many players. It focuses on many spells and the new legendary Hunter card Zul’jin.
How to Play the Deck? Although the deck contains only spells, there are of course several ways to summon minions. Cards like the Animal Companion or the Hero Power from the Deathstalker Rexxar create numerous minions. However, you will likely deal most damage with spells while simultaneously keeping the opponent’s board small.
The deck relies on two larger finishers, namely the bow Rhok’delar from Kobolds and Catacombs and the new hero card Zul’jin. This allows you to cast all spells you have played once again, albeit with random targets. Since traps and animal companions don’t have a “random target”, Zul’jin quickly creates a strong board that most enemies cannot handle anymore.
InFortnite: Battle Royale Season 7 is finally here and it has the potential to rock Fortnite like never before. These 5 highlights are sure to contribute significantly.
Season 7 is different in many ways from the previous 6. This is primarily due to the sheer amount of changes involving airplanes, a significantly larger map, and unprecedented customization options.
This is why Season 7 is something special!
In the following paragraphs, we will introduce you to the five most significant innovations in Season 7. These highlights make Season 7 something special.
Airplanes
What exactly are airplanes in Fortnite? Airplanes are a completely new vehicle in Fortnite. They are biplanes that allow you to zoom through the skies. Additionally, the planes come equipped with a machine gun that can fire indefinitely as long as it does not overheat. Up to 4 passengers can also join the flight.
What’s so cool about airplanes? First of all, airplanes are the first flying vehicles in the game. They also have the highest passenger capacity and are armed. This has not been the case before.
With the airplane, Fortnite becomes a completely different game, as you can be shot at from the air at any time by a pilot. And in the air, daring pilots engage in wild dogfights.
The landing spot for the planes at Frosty Flights should always be heavily contested, as there are only a few airplanes, and whoever has one has a significant advantage. At least until the first counters to airplanes are established.
Completely new map area
What exactly has changed? The familiar Fortnite island has been expanded with a new ice biome and 3 new locations. Additionally, old locations and the entire terrain have been significantly altered. There’s also a new mode of transportation.
What’s so cool about the new map? The best part about the new map is that it is really a kind of new map! Because up until now, changes have only rearranged the existing land masses. The most drastic changes were the transformation of Moisty Mire in the southeast into Paradise Palms and the transformation of Loot Lake in Season 6.
With the iceberg, even more land has been added to Fortnite, and with the locations Polar Peak, Happy Hamlet, and Frosty Flights, three interesting new POIs have been introduced.
In return, familiar places like Greasy Grove and Flush Factory have completely disappeared and are unrecognizable.
Item Paint Jobs
What are paint jobs? These are a new form of item customization. You can set the paint jobs for each type of weapon (shotguns, pistols, assault rifles, etc.) and for vehicles in your locker. When you find such an item, it will have the color or pattern you set with the paint jobs.
Why are paint jobs cool? With the paint jobs, you can further enhance your style. While you cannot create completely custom weapon skins like in Call of Duty, you can finally roam around with a bright red assault rifle or Christmas camouflage on the SCAR, making Fortnite even more colorful.
More customizable skins than ever before
What skins are available? In the new Battle Pass, there are seven new skins. Among them, four are customizable. In Season 6, there were only two. The customizable outfits are the two level 1 skins Lynx and Zenith, Sergeant Winter, and the Ice King.
Source: Fortnite Insider
What’s so great about the customizations this time? Customizable skins are always cool as they provide an additional reward effect and incentive to play. In Season 7, however, you level each skin differently. Only Lynx and Zenith can be upgraded with experience points.
Sergeant Winter levels up via completed daily challenges, and the Ice King only changes when you survive numerous opponents. A welcome change from the constant XP grind of previous seasons.
New Story
What is known about the story? After the somewhat annoying endless confusion surrounding the purple cube from previous seasons, something new has finally happened in Fortnite. There’s an ice area with a mysterious castle, an evil Santa Claus, robots, and a dark Ice King.
What’s so great about the new story? The new story is largely unknown, which makes it special. There’s something new to unravel and numerous clues to follow. The new area is vast and full of mysteries.
What’s the deal with the ice castle? Why is there a submarine on one of the peaks? What does the base have to do with the logo of the robot A.I.M. and what has happened to Durrr-Burger since it was engulfed by ice?
Will the ice melt over time and reveal a dark secret? And what the hell does the butterfly event from Season 6 have to do with it? It’s going to be more exciting than ever.
On a website, Funcom Oslo, the studio behind Conan Exiles, is advertising the unveiling of a new Conan game. What you can expect from the new game can be found here.
This is happening right now: On the website “conancountdown.com”, a countdown is ticking down, which will expire on Saturday, December 8th at 10 AM PST (7 PM in Germany).
At the end of the countdown, there will be a “Showcase” on the Twitch stream of Kinda Funny Games, where a new Conan game is set to be revealed.
This could be the new Conan game
What we already know: In the financial report for the first quarter of 2018, Funcom talked about the current status and outlined future plans. Two of these new plans involved new games in the universe of Conan the Barbarian.
The announcement of the new games came shortly after the successful release of the survival game Conan Exiles, which Funcom “saved” with its release “saved”. Both games are under the auspices of Funcom Oslo, which will also conduct the upcoming reveal.
These games could come: Funcom has also provided some concrete information about the two potential games.
A Petroglyph project:
Petroglyph is set to be the developer of a new game set in the Conan universe.
Petroglyph is a strategy game developer known for creating Star Wars: Empire at War and Grey Goo.
The game is expected to be released in the first half of 2019.
More information is expected to come “shortly before the launch.”
A Funcom project:
Funcom Oslo itself has a new concept for a “Conan the Barbarian” game.
The pre-production is said to have started in the second half of 2018.
A specific date is not known.
What we suspect: It is likely that both games will be announced this coming Saturday, as they seem to have already moved well beyond the mere planning phase. However, it speaks in favor of the Petroglyph project that a release timeframe has already been announced for the game.
What exactly the two games will be remains uncertain. Given that Petroglyph is known for strategy games, a Conan RTS could emerge. This is also supported by the fact that Funcom already has an MMO with Age of Conan and a survival title with Conan Exiles.
Fans have encountered a massive puzzle in the new premium DLC “The Black Armory,” which is currently engaging numerous Guardians in Destiny 2. What is behind it?
Puzzles are a part of Destiny: The Destiny series is famous for its hidden puzzles. Already in Destiny 1, the community often worked hand in hand to uncover many cool secrets of the game. While such aspects were initially scarce in the sequel, Destiny 2 now has a number of puzzles and riddles to offer.
Fans encounter a massive puzzle in the Volundr Forge
What is the puzzle about? As part of the first quest from the new DLC The Black Armory, Guardians are drawn into the first of four forges – the Volundr Forge. This must be ignited so that players can forge new weapons from the Black Armory arsenal and progress in the new content.
(Source: Houndish on YouTube)
However, after the Guardians unlocked the first firearm in the forge, they discovered a series of mysterious symbols, letters, runes, and entire runic scripts that had previously remained hidden. These adorn the Volundr Forge as well as numerous objects and surfaces in the immediate vicinity.
(Source: Houndish on YouTube)
The new weapons are the key: The key to discovering the massive puzzle was the new weapons of the Black Armory, more specifically the first one – the heavy machine gun Hammerhead, which is awarded after the first completion of the forge.
(Source: Houndish on YouTube)
Looking through the sights of the weapon makes the hidden symbols visible. However, they cannot be seen with regular weapons or even with the naked eye. This is apparently only possible with weapons crafted in the forge. Moreover, one must also use the sight device.
There is also a strange animation or effect when shooting some of these symbols through the sights of the corresponding weapon. What this means is still unknown. So far, it hasn’t caused any effect yet.
This wall with patterns is full of these symbols. Numerous Guardians consider it a kind of map.
What do all the characters mean? This is still unknown. Although the community is diligently working on solving it, a solution has not yet been found. The first clues currently suggest that it could be a kind of map coded with real Nordic runes.
The runes form this symbol – Vegvisir from Norse mythology
Some runes have been assembled into a kind of puzzle that shows a compass from Viking mythology. Parts of the Nordic scripts have even been translated, but this has not led to a breakthrough either.
(Source: Houndish on YouTube)
How the letters, the individual symbols, and the runes are connected remains unclear for now. The extent of the puzzle is also unclear. Many believe it could continue in the upcoming forges.
In this Reddit thread from Destiny Raid Secrets, you can inspect all the previously discovered and collected puzzle pieces in detail.
The symbols in the video: In this video by Destiny YouTuber Unknown Player, you can see a large part of the mysterious symbolism from the Volundr Forge.

The Winter Wonderland event 2018 in Overwatch is starting soon. As every year, there are event game modes and new skins. The first new skin has been revealed by Blizzard.
This new skin appears: The first skin shown for Overwatch for Winter Wonderland 2018 is the legendary skin “Snowboarder Zarya.” This was recently tweeted by Blizzard.
Zarya’s Snowboarder skin features a snow suit with a bear hat and a stubby tail, as well as a backpack with a polar bear charm. The inscription on the side of the particle cannon in snow cannon style means “Blizzard” in Russian, according to some users.
This is what the fans are celebrating: The reactions on Twitter and on Reddit have mostly been positive since the announcement. Fans are excited that there is finally a “usable Zarya skin.” Many find the details, such as the fluffy tail on the pants and the hat, adorable.
The connection to the “great Siberian bear” that Zarya would like to cuddle in one of her quotes is frequently mentioned. According to fan reactions, it seems Blizzard has done everything right with this skin.
Another name for a skin has also already been leaked. It seems there will be a “Skater” skin. The theme this year could be winter sports.
The price of the skins is expected to be around 3,000 credits again. This is usually the cost of new legendary skins for current events. The old Winter Wonderland skins from 2016 and 2017 will be cheaper.
During this time, you can either purchase or unlock the new skins. You can earn event loot boxes through leveling up or winning in arcade mode. The “Mei’s Yeti Hunt” mode from 2017 will probably also be back.
During the duration of Winter Wonderland 2018, some maps will be decorated for Christmas. In a short trailer, it can be seen how Blizzard World shines in a nighttime Christmas glow instead of showing the sunny day in the amusement park.
What about you? Will you play Winter Wonderland and earn the skins? If you are still looking for teammates, you can certainly find some players for a group in our Overwatch group. Feel free to also visit us on Facebook for more information and news about Overwatch.

The trainer battles in Pokémon GO offer great rewards with the Sinnoh Stone. We will tell you why the rewards are well chosen.
The trainer battles in Pokémon GO have not yet been released, but we already know what rewards await the players. The Sinnoh Stone is one of the rewards you get.
We will reveal to you why this stone is so important and why it fits ideally as a reward.
What makes the Sinnoh Stone so special? The Sinnoh Stone allows any Pokémon from the first three generations to evolve into their evolution from the 4th generation. Many of these Pokémon are extremely strong and of great importance in Pokémon GO. Therefore, the Sinnoh Stone is so important, because without it you won’t get these strong Pokémon.
Can you get the Sinnoh Stone in PvP? The Sinnoh Stone is one of the rewards from trainer battles. It doesn’t matter whether you won or lost, you can always receive the Sinnoh Stone.
Is the Sinnoh Stone rare as a reward? Since the trainer battles have not yet been released, nothing can be said about that. When we at MeinMMO tested the system, the Sinnoh Stone was available after every battle. Sometimes even two at once. This was just the test version and not comparable to what awaits us, but it seems that Niantic is not stingy with the stone.
That’s why the Sinnoh Stone fits so well as a reward: The Sinnoh Stone is the ideal reward for the trainer battles. To succeed in the battles, you need strong Pokémon. You also get these through the Sinnoh Stone. So it fits perfectly.
What other rewards are there? In the test version, there was also stardust as a reward. Not exactly little of it either. So what’s better than evolving your Pokémon with the Sinnoh Stone and then strengthening them right away? There were no other rewards. Whether these will be added with the release of the battles remains to be seen.
Nevertheless, the Sinnoh Stone is a brilliant reward for the trainer battles. We can be curious about how often the stone will be available.
InFortnite: Battle Royale still does not have a new map, but the existing map is hardly recognizable. Due to the iceberg, it is a good deal larger and partially covered in snow.
How has the map changed in Season 7? The Fortnite map has been rebuilt repeatedly but has always remained the same size. That has now changed in Season 7. The new map is still the familiar island, but in the southwest, a new iceberg has crashed into the island and significantly expanded it.
New Iceberg Biome in the Southwest
You can find these places in the new region: The new biome is a frozen landscape with several new locations. Additionally, some old areas have been enveloped by snow and ice:
Shifty Shafts
This is what the location looks like: The mine is now covered in snow but remains the same location as before.
Snobby Shores
This is what the location looks like: The lower three buildings are covered in snow and have set up winter decorations. Otherwise, not much has changed.
Greasy Grove
This is what the location looks like: This location has been completely covered in ice and snow and is no longer considered a POI (Point of Interest) in Season 7. Only a few buildings still protrude from the ice and can be entered if you break the roofs. The Durrr Burger shop is entirely buried under an indestructible iceberg.
Flush Factory
This is what the location looks like: Here too, the iceberg crash has completely devastated the place and buried it under ice and snow. The toilet factory only barely protrudes as a small peak where the parachute from A.I.M. is still hanging. Flush Factory is also no longer a named POI.
Viking Village
This is what the location looks like: The Viking village still does not have an official name. It continues to exist and now features a frozen river where you can skate.
Polar Peak
This is what the location looks like: This POI is the center of the new map and consists of a high peak of ice and snow, from which a fortress juts out. The fortress was already visible in Season 6 and is likely the refuge of the new Ultimo skin Ice King. From Frost Peak, zip lines lead back into the valley.
Happy Hamlet
This is what the location looks like: A new location has emerged in the south. It looks like a Christmas-themed European village. You can find a clock tower there, as well as many houses and winding streets.
Frosty Flights
This is what the location looks like: This new location is an outpost of the A.I.M. robots, as it bears their emblem. It is likely a sort of Arctic expedition outpost with hangars. There you can find the new planes.
Skin Course
This is what the location looks like: This location between Polar Peak and Frosty Flights is not a named POI. But you can find a ski track and inactive ski lifts there. Perhaps you will be able to snowboard here later, as hinted at in a teaser.
Zip Lines and Ice
This is how ice surfaces work: In the new ice biome, there are frozen surfaces here and there. When you walk out onto them, you get an effect like that of the now-removed cold trap. You slide around and retain that effect for a few seconds after leaving the surface.
This is how zip lines work: You can also find the new zip lines in the ice biome. You just have to jump towards them. Then you ride to the next station of the taut line. This works uphill as well. You can jump off at any time and use weapons.
Tips for the FIFA 19 Squad Building Challenges: With this method, you can complete any league SBC, earn coins in the process, and get special player cards.
These are League SBCs: The Squad Building Challenges themed around leagues, also called “League SBCs”, require quite a bit from you: Depending on which league SBC you choose, you need to exchange a squad for each team in the league.
In the case of the Bundesliga, that means a total of 18 squads, while the Premier League requires 20. The Scottish Premiership, however, only needs 12 squads to complete. Throughout the year, new league SBCs are released regularly.
These are the rewards: Solving the challenges can be worthwhile: As a group reward for each league SBC, you receive a player pick. This means you can choose one of two special cards from the league at the end of the challenge. In the Bundesliga, for example, you can choose between Serge Gnabry and Daniel Caligiuri.
Exciting rewards in other leagues: Other leagues offer, for example, an 87-rated Dzeko (Serie A), 87-rated Thauvin (Ligue 1), 85-rated Rooney (MLS), or 84-rated Podolski (J1 League) – so it pays to look beyond your own league. Furthermore, for each individual task within the SBCs, you will receive packs or coin rewards. Check here which league interests you most and which players you can use best.
This is how you complete every league SBC
League SBCs in five steps: On reddit, the user “ImADuckQuakk”, who is also known as a FIFA YouTuber, has developed a basic method for how you can successfully complete any league SBC and earn coins along the way. This is based on the sniping approach, which you can also find in our trading tips.
Step 1: Choose a league. Decide which league SBC you want to do before you start trading on the transfer market. Then switch to the transfer market – this is possible not only on console but also via web app or companion app. In our example, we chose the MLS. A total of 23 clubs must be exchanged here.
Step 2: Set up search filters. Now it’s time to set the right filters for sniping. Since you want to spend as few coins as possible, the players need to be bought at the cheapest price. Set the following filters:
League: Your chosen league (in our case MLS)
Rarity: Silver
Buy Now Price: 300
Caution: These filters do not work the same in every league. In larger leagues like the Bundesliga or the Premier League, you should set the rarity to Gold and the Buy Now Price to around 400 coins, as the challenges have higher requirements. If you are not suggested too few players, set the Buy Now Price a bit higher.
Step 3: Get them all! Now buy every player that is displayed to you via Buy Now. Since you have to complete SBCs for all the clubs anyway, it doesn’t matter which player from the league you get. This may require some practice: At first, other players will snap up the cheap cards before you. Don’t let that discourage you: Practice makes perfect.
The key is to get the cards at the cheapest price. Then, duplicates, i.e., players bought in duplicates, are not a problem: these are the players with whom you later earn your money. Now repeat Steps 2 and 3 as often as necessary until you have a whole bunch of players.
Tip: Are you only being offered goalkeepers? Set the chemistry style in the search filters to “Basic” – now all goalkeepers will be filtered out of the search results.
Step 4: Organize and sell. Now you should have a club full of players from your chosen league. It’s time to organize: Move all the players that you don’t have duplicates of to your club – you need these to complete the SBC.
Put all duplicates back on the transfer market. Set a slightly higher price: Since you sniped the player at the lowest price, you should be able to sell them for a profit. It’s all about the volume: The more players you resell, the more profit you make. Another good measure to earn coins is smart trading with the TOTW.
Step 5: Buy the missing players. After you have set your players in the league SBC, some will still be missing. You can now buy the missing players with the money you earned from the sales and complete the challenges. With a little luck, you’ll pull good cards from the reward packs and can sell them for a good price as well. Repeat this for all league SBCs that interest you.
Things to keep in mind
Time-intensive method: Sniping and the profitable sale of players require a lot of patience and, above all, time. Sniping in particular can be frustrating when other players snap up the cheap players right in front of you or there are simply no promising players available. Try again at a different time if nothing is working out.
Furthermore, the general rule is: The stronger the league, the longer it takes to finish the SBC. Also, the stronger leagues are, logically, more expensive.
Market ban possible: There have been instances where sniping players get temporarily banned from the market because they bid on too many players. The game then suspects a bot. So there’s a small risk of being banned for a short time – but this didn’t happen with the method described here.
Owners of the Annual Pass now have the opportunity to start the first exotic quest of the “Black Armory” DLC in Destiny 2. For this, you need the Mysterious Box, a mysterious chest. We explain to you where to find the chest and what the quest entails.
The new premium DLC is full of secrets. One of them is a mysterious chest that resourceful Guardians have recently discovered. In return, players are rewarded with the first exotic quest of the Black Armory.
How to find the mysterious chest
The chest was initially discovered during the first quest from the Black Armory. However, you do not need to be on this quest line to collect the Mysterious Box. You can get the chest at any time.
Here you find the Völundr Forge
Here’s how to find the mysterious chest: To get to the chest, you need to go to the Völundr Forge in the EDZ on Earth. Fly to the “Sunken Isles” area in the EDZ. Once you spawn there, turn left and follow the rock wall until you reach the tunnel entrance.
Enter the tunnel through this entrance
Enter the tunnel and follow its path until you reach the first large room. There you need to continue through the hallway on the right side of the room.
There you find the entrance to the forge
This will lead you directly to the forge – even without the corresponding quest.
Here goes to the Völundr Forge
Continue to follow the tunnel until you arrive at an open cave. Then walk left along the rock wall until you see some crates and equipment ahead of you.
Go to these crates
Once you reach the crates, look down the slope. There you will find a small ledge. Jump down there.
You need to jump down to this platform
In front of you is a small, dark cave. Go inside. There you will find a chest from the Black Armory.
Open this chest
Open the chest and you will receive the exotic mysterious box.
This is the mysterious chest
You will find this in your inventory under quests from now on.
The first exotic quest of the Black Armory
What is the mysterious chest? The mysterious chest represents the first step of a new quest. What will be given as a reward is not yet known. However, since it is an exotic quest, the reward at the end will also be exotic. Some fans suspect the new exotic fusion rifle Jötunn as a prize.
What is the quest about? The quest requires the Guardians to unlock the four locks of the chest. There are:
The Hook lock
The Butterfly lock
The Hand lock
The “Black Armory” lock
Further hints are provided neither by the chest itself nor by its description.
The Cabal boss of the Völundr Forge, surrounded by shield drones
How does the first step of the exotic quest go? Meanwhile, clever Guardians have figured out how to open the first lock. You unlock the Hook lock by shutting down two shield drones during the new “Forging the Chain” activity in the Völundr Forge.
So head into the Völundr Forge and complete the first round. The two blue drones will appear in the first 10 seconds of the second round/wave of the fight. One of them appears near the trees outside the cave.
Here spawns the first drone
For the other, you just need to turn around 180 degrees and look into the cave. There, the small blue drone is hard to miss.
Here spawns the second drone
When you take them out, you will receive the message Maximum Hardness on the left edge of the screen. This indicates that you have destroyed both drones. Now you must survive the match successfully. If you die, you will have to take out the drones again.
This chest you must open
Once you send the boss to the virtual afterlife, a chest from the Black Armory will appear in the middle of the room near the forge apparatus. Open it and you will receive a “Black Armory” key. Activate the key in your inventory. This will unlock the Hook lock of the mysterious chest.
What happens next with the quest? This is currently not known. However, fans speculate that each of the four lost forges will yield a key.
The symbols of the forges
For three forges have the Hook (now at Völundr), the Butterfly, and the Hand as symbols. The fourth forge, the Niobe Labs, will probably then provide the “Black Armory” key.

Epic has announced that they will be launching their own online game store as an alternative to Steam. The new Epic store has been developed by none other than the creator of the site “Steam Spy”. He is now talking about Epic’s goals and his experiences with developers.
What happened? A few days ago, Epic Games, the developer of Fortnite, dropped a bombshell. They are working on an online store, which is set to compete with the gaming giant Steam. In the process, Epic took pointed and confident jabs at Valve, who takes a 20% – 25% cut from the sales of games.
A man named Sergey Galyonkin, known to many through his statistics page “Steam Spy,” has worked on the development of Epic’s store. Since 2015, Galyonkin has been collecting, analyzing, and compiling statistics from publicly available data from Steam and has been very successful until recently.
According to his own statements, he has been working on the Epic shop project for years. However, when Galyonkin launched his Steam Spy page, he was not yet involved with Epic. The joke behind the name is therefore unintentional.
Learning from Steam’s mistakes
Hardly anyone outside of Valve is as familiar with Steam as Galyonkin. In developing the concept for the Epic store, he primarily consulted developers: “I spoke with hundreds of developers to find out what they like and dislike about existing digital stores.”
This is how Epic plans to combat review bombing: Conversations with various devs have led to the conclusion that the new store will not include social features like forums. On Steam, these features create an extremely toxic environment. Therefore, the Epic store will initially launch with a ticket system.
Players will be able to send their complaints and comments directly to the developers, allowing the developers to have direct contact with their communities. Actions like the infamous review bombing are expected to be prevented as a result.
This is how Epic plans to tackle clutter: According to Galyonkin, another issue with Steam is its terrible organization. “It feels less like an online store from 2018 and more like a closet stuffed with games. And when you try to pull out a game, it feels like pulling the wrong block from a Jenga tower,” says the head of Steam Spy.
Galyonkin believes that the fundamental problem is that too many items compete for the attention of users, and thus most have no chance of reaching the user. Therefore, the new Epic store will feature a “Twitter-like news feed” through which developers can inform players about the latest changes to their games.
Players will also be able to follow these feeds and receive emails about updates.
This is how Epic plans to support developers: In addition to the low revenue share of 12%, Epic wants to support developers primarily through more information. Steam Spy helped companies in the past, for example, to assess how much interest there is in certain game genres and whether an investment in a project would be worthwhile or not.
Galyonkin wants to take a similar approach: “We want to provide as much information to developers as legally possible. While we cannot share sales figures from other companies, we can provide other useful statistics. We ourselves use much of this data and want developers to have the same tools we do.”
Epic courts developers
What could be the goal of these measures? At first glance, it is clear that Epic aims to attract developers with these features and measures. Especially smaller devs who rely on sales on Steam will certainly be keenly interested in Epic’s offers.
To break Steam’s absolute monopoly, developers must be offered an alternative that is more advantageous for them to publish their games there. And where the games are, the gamers are known to follow.
