Fortnite stops listening to fans: This is how the food battle changes

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

In Fortnite: Battle Royale, the new mode Food Fight has been changed again. After some criticism from fans, Epic has now introduced a few changes.

What was wrong with the new mode? The mode Food Fight from Patch 6.30 lets two teams of 12 players build a fortress around their restaurant mascot (burger or tomato head) in 5 minutes.

Then, in a wild battle with respawns, it will be determined whether rotten burgers or greasy pizzas are the better fast food.

Fortnite Tomato God

Fans had fun but also criticism: The new mode is undoubtedly fun for many players, even if it has not much to do with Battle Royale. However, players complained, among other things, that the mascots were too durable and that the new turrets were a bit too “imba”.

Epic reacts quickly and changes a lot

This is what Epic has changed: As usual, Epic was quick to respond and listened attentively to player criticism. Therefore, just one day after the implementation of the new mode, the first nerf was made:

  • The hit points of the mascot were halved. Instead of 200,000, it now has only 100,000 hit points.
  • Turrets now drop only half as often in the Food Fight. This is to prevent everything from being spammed by the turrets. The turrets were additionally nerfed.
  • The storm timer of Storm 4 was added to Storm 3. This means there are now only three storm circles instead of four.
  • The auto-damage of the mascot was reduced by 40 percent. This refers to a mechanic that makes the mascot “decay” after 5 minutes. This is to prevent fights from dragging on forever when no one can prevail.
fn-turm

This is what the fans say: Many fans of the Food Fight mode wished for exactly these changes and are happy. Others, however, want even more. Their demands include:

  • More distance between the two restaurants
  • No turrets at all or at least a construction ban in the base itself. Players often win by sneaking into the enemy base and building a turret right beside the mascot. This allows them to take it down quickly.
  • An option to fight either with the burger enthusiasts or the pizza cultists. Some hardcore fans can hardly stand carrying the burger or tomato head.

Others, however, consider the whole mode nonsense, which is only there to give talentless noobs a few kills. However, the majority of fans still seem to be having fun.

What do you think of the new mode so far?

Problems with the quest? Here’s how to kill Evan in Fallout 76

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 3 minutes

In Fallout 76 there are plenty of quests that you can complete. Some of them also require you to perform the grim craft. But this is only possible if the target is there. There might currently be issues with Evan.

Bug in Evan quest: A bug can currently prevent you from killing the NPC Evan for a quest. However, there are some tips and tricks you can try to resolve this.

Fallout 76 Evan alive

Can’t kill Evan? Here’s what you can do about the problem

“Personal Matters” is not progressing: In the quest “Personal Matters” in Fallout 76, where you learn more about the Overseer, you are supposed to kill Evan.

You can find Evan in the basement of a building at Mount Blair. You need the Overseer’s keycard to access it, which is on the table next to the door to the basement. Simply swipe it through the terminal next to the door to enter the basement.

However, a bug can prevent your progress afterward. Evan is often already dead. He will simply lie as a corpse behind the locked door.

Fallout 76 Evan location
Here you can find Evan.

Switch servers: If Evan currently does not exist for you, it means he hasn’t respawned properly on the server. He has been killed previously by someone else and stays dead.

You can simply leave the game and rejoin if there is only a corpse in the room. You will likely land on a new server where Evan might still be alive or properly respawned.

Create a new character: If switching servers doesn’t help, there is another solution. Some forum users have reported that it helped them to create a new character.

They then played this character for a minute before switching back to their main character. For some, this resolved the issue and Evan was alive again. However, it may take several attempts, just like logging out and back in.

Fallout 76 Evan door 2
Behind this door should be Evan.

Ignore the quest: A less satisfactory way with guaranteed success is to simply ignore the quest. At this point, “Personal Matters” is optional and does not contribute to the main quest.

You can leave the quest aside for now and continue playing. In the near future, there will be a patch with significant improvements for Fallout 76, which will also fix issues with quests. Evan may then appear properly again.

Did the tips help you? Help others with the problem and tackle the quest together with people from our Fallout group! For more news and info, visit us on Facebook.

Some players have already completed the quest and others to be able to drop atomic bombs faster. This is what happens when an atomic bomb strikes in Fallout 76.

The new heroine in Paladins has the thickest Ultimate skill so far

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

In Paladins, the new hero Imani has been introduced. She can summon dragons and deal massive damage. And she is the hero that some players have been wishing for in Overwatch.

Who is the new hero? Imani is a so-called “Warder”. They are the guardians of dragons and Imani is said to be the last of this order.

paladins-heldin-02

What can Imani do? The new champion is a magical damage dealer. She has the ability to unleash fire blasts and ice shards from her magical dragon gloves.

As her ultimate, she has one of the most impressive skills in the game. She summons a real dragon that then wreaks havoc. The developers are particularly proud of this skill.

The fans’ feedback

The video about Imani and her skills is well received by the Paladins fans. The hero fits well into the game’s roster.

The hero missing from Overwatch: Many players are particularly pleased with Imani’s design and that she is a black woman. Such characters are rare to find in games.

Among other things, the absence of a playable black woman in the competing game Overwatch is a drawback for some players, especially after the last introduced hero Ashe turned out to be another white woman. The fact that Paladins is outdoing Blizzard in this regard amuses some fans.

Fallout 76: How to find blueprints for power stations

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 3 minutes

In Fallout 76 you can place all sorts of crafting stations in your camp. There is also a station for the popular Power Armors. However, you first need the corresponding blueprint. Here you can find it.

What do I need? If you want your own Power Armor station, you first need to build your own C.A.M.P. You should be able to accomplish this automatically during the course of the story. After that, you must complete a quest that rewards you with the blueprint for the crafting station.

Fallout 76 Power Armor Station

Blueprint for Power Armor Station: Location and Quest

Complete the quest “Power Graves”: If you want to earn the blueprint for the Power Armor Station in Fallout 76, you must fight your way through the “Ash Heap” area in southern Appalachia.

There you will find the Garrahan Mining Corporation headquarters. At the headquarters, you will take on the quest “Power Graves.” However, to complete the quest, you will need to be level 25. You can level up faster in a group.

To complete the quest, you need to build an Excavator Armor and then register it. You will find the blueprints for the armor during the quest. You do not need to meet any further requirements.

Fallout 76 Map Garrahan Mining Corp

Building the Excavator Armor: To build the armor, you first need to find a Power Armor chassis and then create and attach a total of 6 armor parts:

  • Excavator Helmet: 12x Glass, 13x Rubber, 10 Screws, 6x Black Titanium, 17x Steel
  • Excavator Arms (left and right), each: 10 Screws, 6x Black Titanium, 17x Steel, 10 Gears, 9x Oil
  • Excavator Legs (left and right), each: 30x Suspension, 10 Screws, 6x Black Titanium, 17x Steel, 9x Oil
  • Excavator Torso: 13x Rubber, 6x Nuclear Material, 10 Screws, 6x Black Titanium, 17x Steel, 10 Gears

You will find the black titanium directly at the Garrahan Mining headquarters and in the surrounding area. Some of the other materials are rare or hard to find. With our material guide, you can find other items like feathers more easily.

You can build the parts at any Power Armor station in West Virginia and simply store them in the chassis. By the way, when you wear the entire armor, you receive an additional +100 carry weight. This is a particularly nice feature, until the stash is expanded.

Fallout 76 Excavator Armor Blueprint Button

Registering the Excavator Armor: To equip the armor parts, you need to have reached level 25, which is why the quest cannot be completed earlier. Place the parts in the chassis and insert a fusion core to then “get in”.

Return to the headquarters with the armor and to the bottom level. There you will find a button that you must press while wearing the Excavator Armor. You will be scanned, and the quest will be completed.

You will then receive the blueprint for the Power Armor station and can immediately set it up in your camp.

fallout-76-crafting


Have you secured your station already? If you’re having trouble, you can look for players in our Fallout group. For more information and guides, also visit our Facebook page.

With Power Armors, many things become easier. Including the endgame of Fallout 76, where you face giant bosses.

Microsoft is reportedly planning an Xbox without a disc for 2019

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

According to insider rumors, Microsoft is reportedly planning a new version of the Xbox for 2019. It is said to be a slim version without a disc drive for a lower price.

What is the rumor about? Insiders who are allegedly familiar with the operations at Microsoft claim to have learned that a new Xbox will be coming soon. However, this console will definitely NOT be the new next-gen console codenamed Scarlett.

New Xbox One S: Rather, it is supposed to be a new version of the slim version Xbox One S, which is expected to be released in early 2019.

xbox-one-s-family-bundle_6036154

The S version has always been cost-effective, and this new version is supposed to lower the price even further. However, an important feature will be missing: the Blu-ray disc drive!

The cheapest Xbox of all time?

How can an Xbox work without a drive? Instead of loading and playing games via the optical drive, the new Xbox S is expected to run games only through the internet and hard drive storage.

What will happen to my old games that I only have on disc? According to the insider, Microsoft is expected to offer a program where you can take your discs to selected Microsoft partners and receive a digital code. You can then redeem it online and play your game without the disc.

Why is Microsoft doing this? The main reason for eliminating the optical drive is said to be the high costs. It is expected that without the disc drive, one could save about 100 dollars on the price. Therefore, the new console would be sold for under 200 US dollars, a real bargain.

xbox-avatars-bande

Ideal for beginners: The ideal target audience for the new Xbox is likely to be players who do not yet own an Xbox and want to step into the world of console gaming with this device. These players would not have stress exchanging their old games and could get a good console for a low price.

What about the next-gen console Scarlett and the disc drive? It is currently unknown whether Microsoft’s planned new flagship will have an optical drive. However, Microsoft will surely issue a statement on this soon. Scarlett is expected to be released no sooner than 2020.

What do you think of this development? Is an optical drive mandatory for a console, or is it time to part ways with this old technology in the age of game streaming and online gaming and fast hard drives?

Warframe: PC players can copy their account to the Switch

Leya Jankowski Leya Jankowski Reading time 3 minutes

The free MMO shooter Warframe will have its release on the Nintendo Switch on November 20. The developers have now revealed more information about content, account transfer, and performance.

Warframe has been available on PC for more than five years. Now the Free2Play shooter is coming to the Nintendo Switch and many have wondered if they can transfer their progress. PC players will get this option.

This is how the PC transfer works: 

  • To transfer the PC account, an existing Switch account is required
  • The existing progress on the Switch will be overwritten by the PC account
  • Once the account is copied, the accounts of PC and Switch are separated – progress will then not be shared.

No transfer for consoles: Players on the PS4 and Xbox One cannot copy their Warframe account to the Switch.

This is the content Warframe has on the Switch

Content at release: All content that was released up to the update “Mask of the Revenant” will be available on the Switch. This means Warframe will also be released on the Switch with the first open-world map Plains of Eidolon. At this point, the player will have access to 36 Warframes.

The second open-world expansion Fortuna will therefore be released on the Switch sometime after launch.

von Jürgen Horn

Beginning of 2019 same status as PS4 and Xbox One: The developers plan for the Switch version to catch up with the PS4 and Xbox One in early 2019. The consoles always receive updates a bit later than the PC.

The Switch will also have the same Prime cycle as other platforms. Prime Warframes are stronger versions of the original models. During Prime Access, these Prime Warframes can be bought or earned for a limited time. The first Prime Warframes on the Switch will be Mesa, Mag, and Chroma.

warframe-revenant

This is how in-game purchases will be transferred

Purchases on the Switch: All purchased items and all Platinum (premium currency) bought in the Nintendo eShop will be added to the copied PC account.

Purchases on PC: Purchased Platinum on PC will NOT be transferred to the Switch. Items that do not exist on the Switch will also not be transferred from the PC.

This is how the performance of Warframe on Switch will be

30 FPS at 720p: These values are achieved by Warframe on the Switch both in handheld mode and docked to the TV. It will not be possible to use the Switch’s video recording feature, as there won’t be enough resources available for that.

According to early testers on the Switch, Warframe runs smoothly there and the gunplay also seems to be well implemented.

Panic Button is responsible for the port: The studio specializes in porting games to the Switch. They have also worked on the Switch port of Rocket League and Wolfenstein II. For the last 9 months, Panic Button has been working on the port together with Digital Extremes. This has also benefited the PC, PS4, and Xbox One, as performance improvements have been made here as well.

Warframe-Comic-Mag-Lotus

There will be no cross-play

Warframe will not have cross-play between platforms, which is why account transfer is likely only available for a limited time.

Voice chat: However, Warframe will have a built-in voice chat. This means players will not have to use the Nintendo Switch Online app.

Warframe will have its release on the Nintendo Switch on November 20. When the PC account transfer will be possible is still unknown. Warframe is free to play and will also be free on the Switch.

Fortnite beats Red Dead Redemption 2 as Game of the Year

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

Fortnite: Battle Royale has once again proven its immense popularity. It beat Rockstar’s western epic Red Dead Redemption 2 at the coveted Golden Joystick Video Game Awards.

What are the Golden Joystick Awards? These are official awards for particularly outstanding games that are awarded annually in the UK. It’s something like an Oscar ceremony for games. The Golden Joystick Awards have been awarded since 1983 and are therefore highly sought after.

Fortnite Week 8 Secret

Awards are given for outstanding games in categories such as [Platform] Game of the Year, Best Storytelling, Best VR Game, Best Indie Game, Most Anticipated Game, and the Ultimate Game of the Year.

How are the ratings determined? The decision on which game wins in which category was previously made by British viewers. However, now you can participate online and cast your vote. It’s a public award.

Fortnite Takes Home the Best Award

Which games have won? Among the winners are masterpieces like:

fortnite-cowboy

The ultimate award goes to Epic: However, the ultimate recognition “Ultimate Game of the Year” is particularly coveted, awarded to the craziest game of the year.

In this category, Red Dead Redemption 2 was also a strong contender, as Rockstar’s epic received hugely positive feedback from fans and critics alike, being considered a masterpiece and a new reference in open-world design and atmosphere.

Why Fortnite?

Red Dead 2 wins only one award: Ultimately, at the Golden Joystick Awards, Red Dead 2 only received the Critic’s Choice Award. The reason for Fortnite’s victory may partly be its enormous cultural influence.

Fortnite as a cultural phenomenon: Athletes widely imitate emotes from the game, children dress up in droves as Fortnite skins for Halloween, and streaming stars like Ninja appear in recognized US sports magazines and visit popular talk shows.

Fortnite Ninja Cash Money title
Star streamer Ninja is associated with the rise of Fortnite.

In this light, Fortnite is also a phenomenon outside of its millions of players and is rightly considered the ultimate game of the year, whether you like it or not.

In this leaked mode, Fortnite even approaches Red Dead Redemption 2:

Red Dead Redemption 2: How to Improve Your Stamina

Micha Deckert Micha Deckert Reading time 3 minutes

In Red Dead Redemption 2 you need to be quick and in some situations get moving. How to increase your stamina can be found here.

In Red Dead Redemption 2 there are many activities that directly affect your three resources: health, stamina, and Dead Eye. However, with some tasks and challenges, you can also improve your resources in the game. We will explain how to get more stamina here.

How to increase your stamina

To raise your stamina to level 8, you need to accumulate a total of 1100 experience points, just like with health. From level 10 onwards, only the specific challenges for each resource will give you points.

You earn experience points through tasks related to stamina. However, you can only expand the stamina meter, which is the ring around this specific core, and not the core itself.

However, there are far fewer activities that increase stamina, than for health or Dead Eye.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Arthur Kutsche

Activities

The easiest way to increase your stamina in Red Dead Redemption 2 is to complete stamina-related activities, such as running or swimming.

Running: You can increase your stamina by running through the game world without your horse. You earn 20 experience points for your stamina meter for every 100 meters you run.

Swimming: Similarly to running, you will also be rewarded for swimming. You earn 20 XP for every 15 seconds you spend swimming in the water. Just make sure there are no dangers lurking in the water you are in, such as alligators.

Combat

Survive with low health: Fighting is unfortunately not an effective way to level up stamina. However, you will be rewarded if you manage to survive a fight with low health.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Arthur Pferd Zug

If you emerge victorious from a confrontation with less than 25 health points, you will earn 20 experience points for stamina.

Challenges

Some challenges in Red Dead Redemption give you direct bonuses to one of the three resources that you can only improve up to level 8 with normal activities. Only challenges will advance you to level 10. For stamina, these are the challenges Explorer, Horsemanship, and Survivor.

The Explorer challenge requires you to find hidden treasures through treasure maps.

For Horsemanship, you need to complete various activities from the back of your horse. This includes, for example, trampling rabbits with your horse, covering different distances riding, or even dragging prey with the lasso.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Pferd

The Survivor challenge requires you to catch special animals or craft items.

For the first challenge level, you earn 25 XP each, and if you manage to complete all three challenges, you get a total of 1425 experience points.

Pirate Rum

Elixirs and tonics can usually be found in the game world, purchased from merchants, or even crafted yourself. Drink aged pirate rum for your stamina, as it grants you 25% experience points towards your next level.

However, aged pirate rum is very rare and can only be found.

Fallout 76 will soon get a FOV slider and a larger inventory

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 3 minutes

Since the release of Fallout 76 on November 14, many players have criticized the game and shared their feedback in forums. Developer Bethesda is now responding and releasing patches to address the major issues.

Patches in the near future: In a newsletter on Friday, November 16, 2018, Bethesda states that they will address the frequently mentioned issues after the release. A major patch is set to arrive on Monday, November 19.

Fallout 76 Character Screenshot

Larger Storage, FOV Slider and Improvements in Fallout

The storage will be larger: Since the Beta of Fallout 76, there have been constant complaints from players that a storage space of 400 units in Fallout 76 is not sufficient. There is simply too much stuff to collect.

Earlier, Bethesda announced that the storage space should be increased. Now it’s becoming concrete. According to Bethesda, the storage will be increased “in the coming weeks”. This means, likely still this year.

However, it is still unknown how large it will become. The current size was set for technical reasons:

The current limit exists for technical reasons to limit the number of items that the game has to calculate in the world. We have short- and long-term ideas on how to tackle the size without compromising stability. But it will take time to do it right.

Fallout 76_20181114095223

“Quality of Life” for the PC: Especially since the PC Beta of Fallout 76, PC players have complained that important options are missing. Some settings are not available which diminishes the gaming experience.

Particularly, settings for the field of view have been a major point of criticism for some time, even though there is a trick to adjust the FOV. In Fallout 76, several “QOL” changes for the PC should be arriving soon:

  • Push-to-Talk: There will be an option for voice activation via a push button.
  • Ultrawide Support: 21:9 screens will receive an official graphics setting.
  • FOV Slider: The field of view can be manually adjusted via a slider.

These changes are expected to arrive “soon,” likely before the expansion of the storage. No specific date has been mentioned.

Fallout 76 view in power armor screenshot

Major Performance Patch: On Monday, November 19, the first major patch for Fallout 76 will arrive. It is possible that this is the released Day-1 Patch. The patch is set to address a number of performance issues.

The patch aims to enhance stability and performance across all platforms. Bug fixes will also be included for:

  • Quests
  • Interface
  • C.A.M.P.s

FIFA 19: Prime Icon Set 3 is back – Was removed by EA

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

On Thursday evening, EA Sports announced Prime Icon Set 3 in FIFA 19. The SBC went live – and soon disappeared. Some players had already started to complete the SBC. Was the set too good to be true? The set is back now.

This is Prime Icon Set 3: The third Prime Icon Set consists of legends Zanetti, Giggs, Hagi, Vieri, and Zola. Players can earn one player from this set as usual via Prime Icon SBC. However, the release brought some irregularities.

SBC offline shortly after: Only a few hours after the Prime Icon SBC went live, it was gone again. EA Sports announced via Twitter that the Squad Building Challenge will be released again at a later time with “updated requirements.”

FIFA 19 Prime Icon Set 3

Why did EA disable the SBC again?

SBC too easy? EA Sports has not yet provided an official reason for this step. There was intense discussion in the FIFA forums.

A possible reason for the quick withdrawal: Compared to the first two Icon SBCs, the SBC was noticeably easier and cheaper. FIFA players were happy about this in the evening and now fear that the requirements will significantly increase.

SBC repeatable: However, the most likely reason is that the partial SBCs were repeatable, unlike previous examples. And as usual, the rewards were very good:

For partial challenges three and four, there was a Rare Player Pack and a Jumbo Rare Player Pack – two of the best packs in the game!

FIFA 19 Prime Icon SBC 3

In exchange, eleven gold players, including three TOTW players, had to be submitted – however, the team rating did not matter here!

The fourth challenge involved exchanging an Icon card. The catch: The Icon card exchanged at the end of the challenge could simply be reused. Thus, repeating the partial challenges was a good way to scoop up some cheap packs.

SBC back online – exchanged players return

Players already crafted: Although the SBC was only available for a short time, many players were already trading wildly. However, not all players completed the entire challenge and traded in their expensive icons or TOTW players without getting a new legend in return.

Update November 17th, 11:30 AM:

EA returns players: The Prime Icon Set 3 is back online. EA announced via Twitter that the players who were already exchanged will return to their clubs – this process may take several hours. No further compensation has been announced.

WoW: How the fight against Lady Jaina Proudmoore goes

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

In the next patch of World of Warcraft, players will fight against Jaina Proudmoore. The mechanics of the fight can already be observed on the PTR.

One of the biggest content updates of World of Warcraft Patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance is the raid Battle for Dazar’Alor. The final fight of the Horde is against none other than Lady Jaina Proudmoore, and the Alliance must also face Jaina in a “flashback” scene. Some guilds have already been able to try the mechanics of the fight on the PTR.

Phase 1: The fight begins on the high seas, on a ship. At the start, players primarily need to avoid Jaina’s frost spells while simultaneously firing ballistae at approaching ships to prevent additional enemies.

Transition from Phase 1 to Phase 2: Once Jaina reaches 60% health, the transition to Phase 2 begins. Jaina freezes a large part of the sea, trapping the ship. Players need to move from the ship to the frozen ice surface and locate Jaina in low visibility conditions.

Phase 2: As long as players stand on the ice surface, they accumulate a stackable debuff that deals increasing frost damage. Once they reach 20 stacks and fall below 80% health, the affected player is encased in an ice block, which the raid must destroy. At the same time, the Kul Tirans will shoot at the raid. Players need to use the shots so that the bullets hit ammunition crates (which were previously floating in the water and are now frozen). This creates a heat source that temporarily removes the frost debuff.

Transition from Phase 2 to Phase 3: At around 30% health remaining, Jaina begins to create a massive frost area that continues to expand. Players must break through various walls and defeat frost elementals while slowly making their way to Nathanos Blightcaller. This is somewhat reminiscent of the escape from the Lich King in the Halls of Reflection in Wrath of the Lich King.

Phase 3: The final phase resembles a “soft enrage” because players no longer have heat sources and are gradually frozen by their frost aura, encasing them in ice blocks. Frozen players must be freed quickly, as Jaina will cast a devastating spear on the ice block shortly thereafter. The trapped individual is highly likely to be killed (about 240,000 damage). Additionally, Jaina summons copies of herself that replicate some of her attacks.

At 5% health remaining, the fight against Lady Jaina Proudmoore ends, and she escapes – such is the life of a mage.

Jaina hates Berserk: A particularly amusing detail in the boss fight is that, because Jaina is not merely “any trash mob” but a clever mage, she knows how the heroes of Azeroth fight. As soon as the raid uses Berserk (or Heroism, Time Warp, etc.), she locks herself in an ice block for 20 seconds, rendering her untargetable. This thus nullifies a large part of the Berserk effect.

Please keep in mind that the information is still based on the PTR. The boss fight may change before the release.

How does the fight against Jaina sound to you? Does it seem like a cool encounter? Or does it not do justice to the “Daughter of the Sea”?

By the way, Jaina has some special loot in mythic mode: the coolest mount in World of Warcraft!

Fortnite: A western mode with old-fashioned weapons could come

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

Fortnite: Battle Royale seems to be planning a new game mode soon according to a leak. This time it will be about the Wild West and only allow weapons from that era.

What is Epic up to now? Just recently, Epic released the immensely fun mode Food Fight, and now there’s already a leak about the next wacky game mode in Fortnite. This time it is said to be about the Wild West.

Western Mode with Old-School Weapons

What the data miners found: According to the leaks from the data miners at FNBRLeaks, the new mode is expected to focus on battles in the style of the old West. This means that there will likely only be weapons that were known in the good old cowboy days.

Fortnite Secret Banner Week 6

So only revolvers, shotguns and hunting rifles. Additionally, there is supposed to be dynamite as a new explosive weapon.

No modern gadgets: What is missing, however, are modern weapons like assault rifles, SMGs, traps, and rocket launchers. Shields were not a thing back in the West, but there was probably Slurp Juice.

According to the leaks, hints at all the Western fun include specific Western sayings from the data. They sound something like this:

  • “No fancy technology here, partner!”
  • “What do you mean by shields?”
  • “Light the fuse and throw it!”
  • “This island ain’t big enough for the hundred of us, partner!”

It looks like the new mode is a regular Battle Royale fight with a very limited selection of weapons. So, a clear step away from the now cluttered with items and weapons meta of the other Fortnite modes.

Wasn’t Wild West just now? Indeed, the leak about the Wild West mode comes as a bit of a surprise. A Western theme has been circulating in the community’s rumor mill for months.

fortnite-cowboy

For many players, it seemed to be settled after the two Western skins Calamity and Deadfire already appeared in the Halloween plot.

When the mode will come and whether it will even appear like this is, however, not known.

Moreover, Epic does not want to tolerate such leaks anymore and is taking action against data miners more vigorously:

Final Fantasy 14 bringt den heiß begehrten Job Blaumagier

Irina Moritz Irina Moritz Reading time 2 minutes

At the Fan Festival of Final Fantasy 14 in Las Vegas, the CEO of Square Enix wore a costume that the fans celebrated. He subsequently confirmed the new job for the expansion “Shadowbringers” of Final Fantasy XIV. The Blue Mage is coming to the MMORPG. 

As part of the announcement of the expansion “Shadowbringers” of Final Fantasy 14, the new job Blue Mage was confirmed. The Blue Mage was already predicted by a leak in September 2018.

However, the Blue Mage will not be released together with the expansion “Shadowbringers” at the beginning of summer 2019, but will already be playable beforehand.

When is the Blue Mage coming? Director Yoshida announced that the Blue Mage will be released with patch 4.5 this coming winter. The exact release date for 4.5 is to be announced tomorrow.

How does the Blue Mage work?  It will not be one of the traditional combat jobs of FFXIV. The new mage is a so-called “Limited Job.” It will be available to all players from level 50, regardless of whether they own the new expansions or not.

In the press release about the job, Square Enix explained that it is a unique “solo gameplay feature.” For the Blue Mage, there will be special instances referred to as “Masked Carnival.” The level cap will initially be set at 50 but will gradually increase.

This is what the Blue Mage can do: The Blue Mage will represent a new type of job in FFXIV. Players will classically have to learn the abilities of various monsters. The new ability is learned by the Blue Mage when the player character is hit by the ability. Yoshida promised players that learning the abilities will be difficult for them.

The release date for patch 4.5 and thus the Blue Mage will be announced tomorrow during the producer’s letter.

Director Yoshida stated that the truth about the world of FFXIV will finally come to light. The expansion is scheduled to arrive in early summer 2019.

There will also be a new job, the Blue Mage:

With this trick, atomic bombs were dropped on day 1 in Fallout 76

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 3 minutes

After the first atomic bombs have already fallen in Fallout 76, some people are wondering: How did they manage that? One of the reasons may have been a tool developed by a fan to decrypt nuclear codes.

Nuke Code Cracker: To launch atomic missiles in Fallout 76, players need to find and subsequently decrypt the launch code. This should actually take several days. However, a tool cracks the codes simply using “brute force.”

fallout-76-map-name

Nukes Codes Cracked with a Tool

What happened? Already within the first hours after launch, players fired the first atomic missile after the release of Fallout 76. They likely gathered the codes partially beforehand, as the beta progress in Fallout 76 was transferred.

To get the launch code, they first had to crack the corresponding digit. The codes are delivered in 8 letter and number pairs, which all must be collected for the respective silo.

Subsequently, the codes must be decrypted using a solution word. This word is revealed daily and uncovers more letters that can be seen in the Whitespring bunker.

This is not the first atomic bomb ever in Fallout 76. Already in the beta, a group detonated an atomic bomb in Fallout 76.

How was the code decrypted? When the players launched the missile, only two of the letters were available. They eventually cracked the code simply using “brute force” and “trial and error.”

The NukaCrypt.com website was created by Reddit user Waffle_cop. He was part of the group that detonated the bomb.

NukaCrypt decrypts the required code with just a few of the necessary letters. The group ultimately received 18 possible codes through the method and tried them. The fourth one was already correct.

Fallout 76 NukaCrypt Website for nuclear launch codes

Is that allowed? Principally, there is nothing against it, as this is a feat that a human could also accomplish. The tool merely performs simple permutations.

With the given keyword, the launch code can be decrypted manually by arranging the alphabet once it is known.

The tool merely finds possible solution words with the given letters and outputs the resulting solutions.

fallout 76 vault boy

Since the actual task is to gain access to the bunkers and collect the code itself, the tool is likely just a nice gimmick. If everything else is done, cracking the code won’t take long anyway.

To preserve the fun of the game and to ensure that you do not incur any penalties, we still advise against using the tool. The events help every player on the map anyway. You can still join in.

Have you already detonated a bomb? If you are looking for players, check out our Fallout group! If you need more information and news about Fallout 76, visit us also on Facebook.

Regardless of the atomic bombs, Fallout 76 has a big problem. Fallout 76 made a critical mistake that is now biting back.
