In Destiny 2 you can now secure the first heavy machine gun. The final part of the mysterious murder quest is live and rewards Guardians with the Thunderlord at the end. We explain how you can successfully complete the quest.
What leaks had announced weeks ago has now proven to be true. With the weekly reset on November 13th, the third part of the festival quest went live and actually took Guardians back to the Cosmodrome on Earth, where many Guardians started their journey in Destiny. At the end of this nostalgic trip, there was the first heavy MG in Destiny 2 – the Thunderlord.
How to get the Thunderlord in Destiny 2
This is what you need to do first: The first example of this new weapon category (in Destiny 2) is behind a three-part quest series that started about two weeks ago. To tackle the last step, you must first successfully complete the first two steps. Both are quite short and should not take too much time if you haven’t done them yet.
Once you have completed these quest steps, you can focus on the third and final part.
This is how the last quest step works: To get the last step of this quest, you first need to visit Amanda Holiday at the Tower. Talk to her, and then the task will continue for you.
Amanda will send you as part of the mission “The Lost Cryptarch” back into the Lost Sector Whisperfall in the Outskirts area of the EDZ on Earth. There, a Fallen teleport field has been found, and you should check where it leads.
Here you will find the quest for the Thunderlord
The mission will be prominently displayed on the location map and is hard to miss. Fight your way through the Lost Sector or simply run through to the last room, where the boss is located. You can completely ignore or eliminate this boss. However, he is absolutely irrelevant for quest progression.
Simply activate the Fallen teleporter in this room, which is marked with a mission symbol. This will take you back to the Cosmodrome on Earth. From there, follow the mission progression and the corresponding markers. The mission progression is self-explanatory. In the end, you will encounter the killer of Master Ives, a Fallen boss that must be defeated.
This is the Fallen teleporter
Once you have done that, you need to escape from the Cosmodrome. For this, take the same way back. Once you arrive at the end, you need to interact with the visibly marked Fallen teleporter again, and the mission is complete. Now you just need to visit Amanda Holiday at the Tower.
The reward: At Amanda you will then receive the last engram from Master Ives. After that, you only have to go to the Tower Cryptarch Master Rahool. Once you have decrypted this exotic engram, you will receive the first heavy machine gun from Destiny 2 – the Thunderlord.
Important: The Thunderlord is only available this way until November 27, 2018. After that, it will be available randomly from exotic engrams.

Hidden scannable objects: In the Cosmodrome on Earth, Bungie has placed some scannable objects that are likely to evoke further nostalgia feelings, especially among Destiny veterans. All these objects are located outside the wall of the Cosmodrome. It is recommended to first complete the mission and scan them calmly on the way back.
In the following video by Mesa Sean, you will see the locations of all objects:

What do the fans say? The nostalgic trip to the Cosmodrome has the community divided. Many players consider it a cool experience that evokes old memories and reminds them of their first steps in Destiny. Others see this final step of the murder quest as too short, uninspired, and label it as cheap content recycling.
Also in the comments on MeinMMO, this is evident. But aside from what people think of the quest – the community is enthusiastic about the Thunderlord. On Reddit and YouTube, players are overflowing with praise for this first example of the new weapon category.
What do you think of the quest? Did the trip to the Cosmodrome compensate for the tedious quest steps before? And how do you find the Thunderlord?

With Patch 8.1, there is a new affix for mythic dungeons in World of Warcraft. This means you need to kill all mobs twice!
To keep mythic dungeons in Battle for Azeroth fresh and interesting, Patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance introduces a new affix at the start of the new dungeon season, which comes into play from “Mythic+10”.
What are dungeon seasons? Parallel to the PvP seasons of Battle for Azeroth, there are also seasons for mythic dungeons. Each time, there is a special affix that is thematically linked to a specific boss. Currently, this is the affix “Infested,” but with Patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance it will be “Reaping.”

What does the affix Reaping do? Reaping is linked to Bwonsamdi, the Loa of Death. It causes ghosts to resurrect from all enemies for every 20% of defeated mobs in a dungeon (which are necessary for the progress bar). These enemies appear at the spot where they were defeated and must then actually walk towards the players.
Whether these resurrected foes have their full strength has not been said yet, but it seems unlikely. In any case, one should probably have many group stuns and strong defensive cooldowns ready for these moments.
Reaping is meant to change dungeon runs: The main goal of the developers is to change the way “Mythic+” dungeons are played with Reaping. With Reaping in play, you can no longer take the “well-known” path through a dungeon, as triggering the affix could attract many additional mob groups that join the ghosts and lead to the players’ demise.
Special event for losers: The developers also hinted that something “special” will happen if players do not complete the dungeon within the time limit. What exactly that is has not been explained yet – we will only see that when the Patch 8.1 goes live in mid-December.
Are you looking forward to the new affix? Or do you not feel like learning new strategies for the old dungeons?
A new patch has been applied to Overwatch on the live servers. This brings some changes to heroes and the new hero Ashe.
Ashe is here! With the Overwatch patch from November 13, 2018, the new hero Ashe has been released. Along with the new DPS hero, some other heroes have received minor balance changes.
Overwatch Patch Notes for Ashe’s Release
New hero – Ashe: Ashe is a DPS hero who mainly relies on her lever-action rifle Viper to deal damage. She is the first heroine to use iron sights, which gives her a significant damage boost, if played correctly.
Ashe’s other abilities include:
a bundle of dynamite
a double-barreled shotgun
her butler and bodyguard Bob
With her ultimate ability “B.O.B.” Ashe summons her giant omnic friend to her side, who lifts enemies into the air and thereafter bombards them with shots from his arm cannon. As long as Bob is active, the team effectively has 7 heroes in play.
Changes to other heroes: In addition to Ashe, some heroes have received minor changes affecting their effectiveness. Most of these changes are buffs:
Mercy now heals 60 damage per second instead of 50 during Valkyrie and can activate Valkyrie 15% faster.
Reaper heals 10% more from his shots and can fire more precisely, which some fans view as a nerf.
Symmetra’s primary fire charges 20% faster.
A somewhat larger update has been received by the tank hero Roadhog. Roadhog’s hook now pulls enemies faster after hitting them and reduces their speed, making it harder for them to escape. The cooldown now begins as soon as he uses the ability.
Additionally, the spread pattern of Roadhog’s primary and alternate fire has been adjusted, and his ultimate has been slightly buffed. “Whole Hog” can now push targets back more forcefully and has less horizontal recoil.
There are also several bug fixes. You can find the full and official patch notes in German on the Overwatch website.
Get started and try Ashe! In our Overwatch group, you’ll surely quickly assemble a full team, and on Facebook you’ll find more info about Overwatch.
In Week 3 of Season 5 of Fortnite: Battle Royale, it’s all about clay pigeons. But where are the flying discs for shooting clay pigeons? Find out in our guide “Shoot a clay pigeon at different locations” – we have a map with the locations of the clay pigeons.
Clay pigeons in Fortnite? You need to complete a mini-game at 5 different locations: shooting clay pigeons. For this, Epic has placed new clay pigeon launchers in various locations. There you can launch the clay pigeons and just need to hit them.
Shooting clay pigeons at 5 different locations in Fortnite – here’s how
This is how you take out clay pigeons: Once you have found a launcher, you just need to activate it. The machine will then launch the flying discs. You will ideally take them down with a weapon with a good rate of fire. Submachine guns or assault rifles work well.
Attention: You need to hit three times in a row for the challenge to count. Each time you hit, the machine will launch the next pigeon, so watch out.
Tip: Keep the crosshair in the same spot after you have hit once, as the next pigeon will come to the same position.
Be cautious during the mini-game: In a team, one can also operate the machine while another player shoots at it. Just be careful that you don’t become the target yourself during the shooting fun. Some professional killer in a suit or high-tech supervillain could be lurking in the bushes, ready to pick you off while you’re clay pigeon shooting.
Game within a game: You can also organize your own clay pigeon mini-game as a competition. The machines count your hits.
Where can you shoot clay pigeons? The 6 locations
This is how you complete the task: To earn your reward, you need to hit a clay pigeon at five different locations. We have summarized the currently known locations in the following paragraphs.
In the west of Pleasant Park is a large hill. At its southern foothill is the clay pigeon device.
Are you excited for the release of Nuketown in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 ? Now it’s finally here – at least on PS4. A new Black Ops 4 update is now live. And as Treyarch recently announced on Twitter, the popular map can be played on Sony’s console today.
Black Ops 4 Nuketown Release: Long before the launch of Black Ops 4, the developers announced that fans would see some beloved elements from past CoD titles again. Among them are five maps that fans have come to love.
Today, on November 13th, the popular map Nuketown returns. But not for all players at once.
New update for CoD: Black Ops 4 brings Nuketown to PS4
Recently, the official Call of Duty account teased with a short video that the map would return on November 13th. The tweet conveys a Russian message with the video, which roughly translates to “Welcome back”.
It was also stated on Twitter that the map can be visited today. Thus, Black Ops 4 is the fourth part of Call of Duty in which Nuketown is playable as a map.
New Black Ops 4 update is live: Today, on 13.11., shortly after 19:00, there was a new update for Black Ops 4, which brings back the Nuketown map. Treyarch also confirmed this in the official patch notes. Nuketown is now the 15th map for multiplayer in Black Ops 4.
The official patch notes for the Black Ops 4 update from November 13th: Unfortunately, the patch notes are not available in German. Therefore, we have linked the original English change log for you.
Initially only on PlayStation 4: Players on Sony’s console can play the new map first. A week later, the exclusivity on PS4 ends. Then players on PC and Xbox One can also enjoy Nuketown.
More maps in planning: Through the Black Ops Pass, twelve more maps for Black Ops 4 are expected to be released.
This is what the community says: Many players on Reddit are unhappy that this content is also released with PS4 exclusivity.
User SaiyanSlayin writes: Activision also confirmed that Santa will not arrive for Xbox and PC users until after December 31. 7 days after Christmas on PS4.
Other players note that specialists Torque and Ajax will likely dominate the matches on the map.
In Fortnite: Battle Royale, clues are intensifying about a new location on the map. The new Point of Interest (POI) on the map could be related to the ongoing war between the burger restaurant and the tomato cult.
What’s up with the burger and the pizza? Since the early days of Fortnite, two places have been a staple of the map: the pizza shop “Pizza Pit” with the tomato head and the burger joint “Durrr-Burger” in Greasy Grove, which had a rather unappetizing burger head as a mascot.
The conflict is brewing: The first sign of trouble between burger and pizza came with the release of the Elite version of the tomato head skin. This could be upgraded with challenges.
Epic also released a title image showing tomato heads violently converting a Durrr-Burger employee to the tomato cult. From then on, it was clear that there could be no peace between burger supporters and tomato cultists!
Clues about the new location intensify
The burger shop is closing: The first victory of the tomato heads was the closure of the Durrr-Burger store with Update 6.22. However, food trucks from Pizza Pit and Durrr Burger then appeared, somehow watching each other.
Not where it belongs: The Durr Burger head
A Reddit user has a theory:Reddit user Inzaine analyzed the facts and clues from the ongoing conflict and gained some astonishing insights: It seems that there will soon be a new location, a Point of Interest (POI) on the Fortnite map.
Accordingly, a new place related to the fast-food war is likely to appear soon near the soccer hall west of Tilted Towers.
Pizza vs. Burger – the great battle
All clues at a glance: The following indicators all point to the new place:
The food trucks from Durrr Burger and Pizza Pit are both there, watching each other again.
The gang advertisement on the field mentions Durrr-Burger. It seems to be the last stronghold of the burger supporters.
The soccer stadium would be a good place that needs a renovation again and would be a good alternative to Tilted Towers or Greasy Grove.
Around the same time in the season, the tomato temple was introduced to the game.
Epic itself launched a poll on Twitter on November 12, asking if players preferred pizza or burgers for lunch.
There were clues found in the game files about a burger POI.
If all this holds true, the soccer stadium will soon be the setting for an epic battle between burger and pizza, altering the map once again. This would create a lucrative new loot location.
This is what the players say: The conflict between burger and pizza is eagerly watched by the community. Many players are already looking forward to the next chapter and the potential new location.
Some fans even suspect that Epic will let players decide through surveys whether the burger or tomato heads will win. Epic has indeed introduced the new, limited-time game mode “Food Fight” with Update 6.3!
Fallout 76 offers a cash shop for players who want to invest a little money in their appearance in addition to the gameplay experience. Since the launch of Fallout 76, the costs of atoms have also been known.
What is the Atom Shop? In the Atom Shop, you can stock up on cosmetic items in Fallout 76. These change your appearance or give you access to new emotes. You do not gain any advantages from this.
How to Get Atoms and Their Cost
Buying Atoms: Atoms are the “premium currency” in Fallout 76. Instead of real money, you pay in the Atom Shop with atoms, which you must buy with real money. Since the early access of Fallout 76, the prices of atoms have been known:
500 atoms: €4.99
1100 atoms: €9.99
2400 atoms: €19.99
5000 atoms: €39.99
Earn Atoms: If you do not want to spend real money, you can also earn atoms. Completing challenges consistently rewards you with atoms in Fallout 76. Most challenges are fulfilled alongside regular gameplay and many of them are repeatable.
Items Available in the Atom Shop
What can I buy? For atoms, you receive purely cosmetic items that can change the appearance of your Power Armor, your Pip-Boy, or your constructed items in the C.A.M.P.
Most fans find the prices in the Atom Shop “reasonable” and many players appreciate that you can also earn atoms in the game. So if someone wants to invest money into customization, they are welcome to do so.
Other players find the shop unnecessary and think the time required is too much if you do not want to pay money. One user reported collecting 690 atoms after over 12 hours and “just enough for a pajama.”
What do you think of the Atom Shop? Do you like to stock up on cosmetics or find it unnecessary? Comment here or in our Fallout group and visit us on Facebook for more info about Fallout 76.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) is finally coming to PlayStation 4. The release date for PS4 is on December 7th. There will be a range of exclusive skins from PS4 game classics like Uncharted.
The battle royale shooter PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is launching almost a year after the Xbox release for PlayStation 4. After there were initial hints, an official release date is now known.
When will PUBG come to PS4? The PlayStation version of PUBG is set to release on December 7, 2018. Pre-orders will be available starting November 13.
Why is it coming to PS4 only now? According to the developers, the PS4 version has been in development since the beginning of the year. They wanted to wait and see how the Xbox version performed and once that was settled, the focus shifted to PS4.
And why is it really coming to PS4 only now? Bluehole seems to have made a deal with Microsoft to delay the announcement of the PS4 port.
Though this is just speculation. It seems likely that they promised Microsoft to be console exclusive on Xbox One for about a year – and during that time not to discuss a PS4 port.
This explains the odd dance that Bluehole has been doing since 2017:
How much will PUBG cost on PS4? Like the Xbox and PC versions, PUBG on PS4 will cost $29.99. The Euro price should be identical.
Unique Skins for PS4
What is different about the PS4 version? As a small bonus, pre-orders on PlayStation 4 will receive unique skins. These include:
a skin of Nathan Drake from Uncharted,
Ellie’s backpack from The Last of Us,
a special avatar,
a Miramar console theme
and a PlayStation-themed parachute.
What the community says: While some PS4 players are certainly looking forward to PUBG, the reactions are currently rather lukewarm. Many players believe they would have been overjoyed 18 months ago.
But now they are happy with Fortnite or Black Ops 4 and do not need PUBG to experience battle royale fun.
Again, there are set photos from the filming of the movie for Monster Hunter World. They confirm the impression that was already created by other photos. It’s going to be military.
The film with a $60 million budget is currently in production, which is why there are constantly new photos from the set. The latest snapshots again show heavy military equipment and cheerful soldiers.
New photos of the film from MHW released
Here’s what the new photos show: In the new images, you can see actors and military equipment in a desert area. They are posing cheerfully.
In this picture, the crew poses on a vehicle that looks like a buggy.
Apparently, at least part of the film will have a lot to do with the military. It may only involve the beginning of the film. Many fans would probably wish that the monsters take center stage. After all, it is an adaptation of the Monster Hunter series.
However, much indicates that the military will play a central role. Details that are currently known about the plot provide an explanation.
Again, you can see the buggy and another vehicle of the UN crew.
What is the film about Monster Hunter? The leader of a UN crew named Artemis (Milla Jovovich) somehow gets transported through a portal into the world of Monster Hunter during a mission. There, she must fight for her survival with the locals. She also has to stop the monsters from entering our world.
Previously, some set photos had already been released. Among them, a photo of Jovovich with the slingshot known from MHW. Fans were far from enthusiastic about the set photos. This probably will not change after the new images.
However, there were already firearms in Monster Hunter World before. A fan posted a picture of Solid Snake fighting a Rathalos on Twitter in reaction to the set photos. There had already been a crossover between Monster Hunter and Metal Gear on the PS2.
This is what the director says: According to director Paul W.S. Anderson, there will be no new monsters in the film. The focus will mainly be on monsters from Monster Hunter World and possibly other titles from the series.
I don’t need to create new monsters. There has been such a great variety of cool creatures over the years. We rely heavily on the creatures from Monster Hunter: World, […] but we also bring some from the, in my opinion, great monsters from the earlier games […]

A major criticism of Red Dead Redemption 2 is the clunky and sluggish controls. A video compared the input lag of RDR 2 with other games and may have pinpointed the root of the problem.
Despite all the praise that RDR 2 has already received, a major criticism stands out: the controls. Even in the evaluation of the game by our MeinMMO community, the clunky controls were identified as a major disruptive factor.
In a new video, RDR 2 was compared with other games, and a potential root of all evil was identified.
The controls have been described as “dated”, “sluggish”, or “lazy”.
Video gets to the bottom of controls: Not only readers of MeinMMO believe that there is something wrong with the controls of Red Dead Redemption 2.
Dan Lowe, a lead tech animator at Motive Studios, has now compared the Western adventure with other third-person games and identified input lag as one of the culprits.
Input lag is the delay it takes for a game to recognize and execute a button command. For the test, besides Red Dead Redemption 2, games like Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, Spider-Man, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, and Destiny 2 were also examined.

RDR 2 with the highest delay: Unsurprisingly, RDR 2 exhibited the highest input lag of all the games in the test conducted on the same television, with the same console and settings. RDR 2 takes 11 frames before the game responds to any commands. Following that are Uncharted: The Lost Legacy with 6 frames and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey with 4 frames.
Spider-Man needed only 3 frames to execute commands, while Destiny 2 only required 1 frame.
According to a comment on VG247, each frame at RDR 2 is about 33 milliseconds long if the game is running at 30 frames. In the best case, that would mean that Red Dead Redemption 2 takes 330 milliseconds to respond to console commands.
However, it seems that input lag is not the sole culprit behind the sluggish controls. Many interactions in the game are tied to long animations, which make the game feel even slower.
Update: We corrected an error where we mistakenly wrote that the comparison was made in milliseconds instead of in frames. Thanks to Thorsten Roth for the tip!
In Fortnite: Save the World, major changes are coming this week. Almost all menus are being revamped. Gameplay systems are also being completely overhauled, revised, and expanded. Additionally, a revolver known to Destiny players is coming.
The stated goal is to make the many scattered menus clearer. Save the World is supposed to become more accessible.
This is the screen for the Command Center. From here you will be able to access 4 sub-screens.
The renovation is set to begin this week with the major patch 6.3. “Save the World” has so much in store that has not been seen in a long time.
Major overhaul coming this week
What’s happening this week: The most important thing is that all menus in “Save the World” will be reworked at least on the surface. New gameplay systems and features are also being introduced. The entire progress system is being overhauled.
The Command Center serves as an overview for all account progress. From here, you can access the other menus.
In “Heroes,” the Major now appears. Here, Epic is hinting at another feature called “Hero Loadout” that has not yet been revealed: Heroes may soon receive their own special equipment, which was not the case in Fortnite before.
The big new feature “Hero Loadout” – what it entails is still unknown to us.
The “Survivors” screen is now more clearly organized, allowing management of the survivors. However, “Expeditions” and “Defenders” have been separated from here.
The “Upgrades” screen featuring Kevin, the robot assistant, is new. Here you can manage gadgets, expand your backpack, or enhance the pickaxe. These tasks were previously linked to the large progress tree or disappeared into the “Now let’s start the mission” menu.
Here you will manage the bustling survivors.
The “Research” menu is now significantly cleaner and is no longer the huge, branching tree it once was.
In the “Armory,” you should be able to manage schematics, weapons, and resources. The collection is now also included here.
The menu for research – was previously constrained in its own tree.
What else is changing
Save the World also promises:
A new tutorial to better introduce players
To clarify the quests
And resets for research and skills will be coming
Weapons now have collections, the backpack, the inventory, and more menu sub-items.
In the shop, you will find the revolver: The Last Word. A weapon with this name already exists in Destiny. Perhaps Epic is taking inspiration from this weapon.
When is all this coming? It should go live in the next patch. Update 6.3 for Fortnite is expected on Wednesday, at the latest on Thursday.
Fortnite discards the research tree
What this means: It seems that “Fortnite: Save the World” is being significantly streamlined with these changes. Especially the two progress trees with many branches, four tiers, and unlocks appear to be absent in the new Fortnite.
Previously, players had to unlock nodes that only provided relatively meager bonuses or unlocked certain equipment tiers for various items or characters. This cumbersome and complex progress system, which originates from mobile MMOs, seems to be gradually eliminated in Fortnite.
The main goal appears to be to make Fortnite clearer and more accessible.
Together with the release of the Let’s-GO games, Niantic announced an event in Pokémon GO focused on Kanto Pokémon.
The Japanese Twitter account of Pokémon GO announced an event centered around the release of Let’s GO, Pikachu and Let’s GO, Evoli. The two games will be released on November 16 and can be played in conjunction with Pokémon GO.
Pokémon caught in Pokémon GO can then be sent to the Let’s-GO games to earn candies. The release of the games is said to be celebrated with an event.
What did Pokémon GO announce?
So far, only the Japanese Twitter account of Pokémon GO has reported about this event. In their tweet, they mentioned an event that is supposed to celebrate the release of the Let’s-GO games.
Pikachu & Evoli: In the tweet, they mentioned that especially Pikachu and Evoli should appear more frequently during the event. These two Pokémon are the titular figures of the Let’s-GO games. It might be possible to catch these two Pokémon in special forms or with accessories like hats. However, this is currently speculation.
Increased Kanto spawns: In addition to Pikachu and Evoli, other Pokémon from the Kanto region are expected to appear. The Pokémon from the first generation are also the ones that can be caught in the Let’s-GO games. Other generations cannot be caught in the games so far.
No start time known: So far, Niantic has not provided a specific start time for the event. It may possibly start with the release of the games on November 16.
Community Reactions
On Twitter, players’ opinions are divided. Some see the event as an opportunity for new Pokémon, while others complain about yet another Kanto event.
The user “Sonbda2” believes: I suspect more spawns of Evoli could also unlock the Evoli evolutions of the fourth generation. Possibly also other evolutions like Magbrant or Elevoltek”
Twitter user “Styletix” writes ironically: “More Kanto spawns? How original!”
Indeed, we had a Kanto Pokémon event just in September and another event with these Pokémon is not very varied.

Fallout 76: Release and Size for PC, PS4, and Xbox One
However, those who purchased Fallout 76 directly from the PlayStation Store or Microsoft Store may not be able to play until the official release, according to some reports.
How big is Fallout 76? The game is approximately 50 GB for PC and can be downloaded via the Bethesda Launcher. You can obtain the launcher from the official website. On PS4 and Xbox One, Fallout 76 is about 45 GB. For PS4, you can download Fallout 76 from the PlayStation Store, and for Xbox One from the Microsoft Store.
After Fallout 4 took place in the Commonwealth, Fallout 76 takes you to West Virginia. Fallout 76 is a prequel to all previously released Fallout titles. What happens here is supposed to explain why the other Fallout titles look the way they do.
The game world is the most important factor in Fallout 76. Through the design of an open world with placed notes, terminals, and audiologs, Fallout 76 aims to present its story.
Bethesda has even introduced some factions that fought for survival outside the vault. Besides familiar groups like the Brotherhood of Steel and the Raiders, the Enclave is also represented, which is already known from earlier titles.
Put on the Pip-Boy, let’s go!
Who do I play in Fallout 76? You are a resident of Vault 76, one of the vaults that opened first after the nuclear war. 25 years after sealing, you are supposed to rebuild the world.
Your task is not only to rebuild walls and buildings. You also need to rekindle the spirit of humanity. Your goal is to make America what it was before the war: a “great nation”.
What kind of game will Fallout 76 be? Fallout 76 is an online game with RPG and survival elements.
With how many people can I play Fallout 76?
This is how Fallout 76 plays: Fallout 76 will be a purely online game – but not in the way you fear. Up to 4 players can cooperate in a group. As typical for Fallout, there will still be quests, a story, and a leveling system.
Can I play solo? Yes, however, on the servers available at the beginning, there will always be other players around. You will be able to walk through West Virginia alone, but Fallout 76 is intended as a group game. At a later time, there will be options for private servers and mods, making solo play easier.
The entire game world is meant to be populated by players. Every other vault dweller you meet will be controlled by a human. There should be dozens in an instance of the game. The experience will not be limited by servers – you can take your character and progress anywhere to play with your friends.
Bethesda has already presented many features of Fallout 76 at the press conference and in subsequent statements. We have compiled them for you:
“Softcore Survival”: The core elements of Fallout 76 will be survival and building. The goal is to rebuild America – and that can only be achieved if you survive. Death does not mean severe consequences: you do not lose progress or even your character. The survival features of Fallout 76 should not be annoying.
Nuclear rockets – that’s why the world looks so terrible “later”: In Fallout 76, you have access to launch stations for nuclear missiles. Get the launch codes from the NPC enemies and team up to fire the rockets. Choose a location – and flatten it. You can not only eliminate unwanted enemies but also find rare materials and particularly strong opponents to fight in the fallout of the rockets. This is what an impact looks like.
S.P.E.C.I.A.L. remains: Fallout 76 is based on its predecessors for leveling up. Your attributes are still divided into the 7 known traits and can be increased when leveling up. Perks are back as well.
What is the maximum level? The highest level is level 100. However, you only receive skill points up to level 50. Currently, these cannot be reset.
Along with the perks, there is also the option to customize your character through mutations. Mutations arise from radiation and work similarly to traits from the earlier Fallout titles. So far, 16 mutations are known, each having its advantages and disadvantages.
In principle: Yes. PvP is a fixed part of the game, and players should always have the chance to attack others. However, Bethesda has already talked about PvP and the protection of newcomers and PvE players.
PvP for (almost) everyone: Since Fallout 76 will be a multiplayer survival game, combat between players is also planned. PvP battles should be possible at any time – only those who carry a pacifist flag cannot attack other players.
Protection for newbies: As a new player, you also don’t need to fear being shot out of the game immediately by higher-level characters. Up to level 5, you are invulnerable. Equipment also scales, so even a power armor does not make you invincible.
If you still want to completely avoid PvP, you also have the chance to become a trader or take on other professions in Fallout 76.
No PvP in the story and events: There will also be some story missions where you will not be attacked by other players – there is no PvP in story missions.
Concerns about nuclear bombs have also preoccupied some fans. However, the developers explained that you can simply save your base in blueprints and rebuild it anywhere, and that you have an untouchable personal storage. Thus, a bomb can never take everything away from you.
In public events that occur frequently, you will be automatically assigned to a public group. Here too, participants cannot attack each other.
Are there criticisms and concerns about the game?
Yes, many people have already raised concerns about Bethesda’s current approach. The PvP is a thorn in the flesh for many fans who prefer to experience Fallout as an exploration of a ruined world at their own pace and without stress from other players. Bethesda constantly apologizes to these solo players.
Furthermore, the way the beta is supposed to be conducted is annoying some fans greatly. Due to some communication errors, it seemed that beta players would be invited in waves. This was clarified by Pete Hines afterwards.
You can buy different editions, but DLCs will be free
Fallout 76 will be released in various editions, all of which include the base game. Some of them come with great features and content: Here are the versions compared.
The most expensive (and probably most popular) version is the Collector’s Edition. This includes:
A map of the world that glows in the dark
Miniature figures of characters from Fallout 76
A portable T-51 power armor helmet with a functioning voice modulator and headlamp
Together with Murkmire, The Elder Scrolls Online has been expanded with various item sets. Especially for Magicka users, the “Spell Strategist” set stands out. We show you how to obtain it and what makes it so special.
Those who fight in PvP with light armor should take a look at the Spell Strategist set. But even in PvE, Spell Strategist shows its strength.
Spell Strategist increases Magicka
Why is Spell Strategist so strong? The complete set grants you the following bonuses. The numbers refer to the number of armor pieces you wear from the set.
2: Your maximum Magicka is increased.
3: You gain increased Magicka power
4: Your Magicka power is further enhanced.
5: When you deal damage with a light attack, your target is marked for 5 seconds. This mark grants you 500 Magicka power against the target. The effect can occur once every 4 seconds.
Because the effect can reoccur every 4 seconds and is activated with each light attack, it can theoretically be maintained permanently. This fact makes the set very strong in PvP and PvE. Spell Strategist allows for a significant amount of magical damage to be inflicted on the opponent.
Why is high Magicka power strong? Higher values in Magicka power increase the damage you deal with Magicka skills or weapons to your enemies.
The set is only available in PvP
How can I obtain Spell Strategist? Spell Strategist is a PvP set. You can obtain it through “Just Reward”.
A post-message with “Just Reward” is received once you have collected a certain number of alliance points in PvP. The YouTuber AlexOs recommends farming the set best through the Battlegrounds.
A strong combination against other players
Spell Strategist and Siroria: Especially in combination with another set, Spell Strategist can shine. Items from the “Cloak of Siroria” set can be obtained in the Trial Cloudrest or by completing the weekly trial quest.
The “Cloak of Siroria” set grants you the following benefits:
2: You gain Magicka power
3: You receive an effect that increases damage against NPCs in dungeons, trials, and arenas by 5%.
4: Your maximum Magicka is increased
5: When you deal direct damage to an enemy with a single-target ability, you create a fire ring under you for 10 seconds. This fire ring grants you 5 seconds of a stack of Siroria’s Bounty, which increases your Magicka power by 30 per stack. You can have a maximum of 20 stacks, and the effect can reoccur every 10 seconds.
If you wear both sets in combination, you can significantly increase your Magicka power through the combination of light attacks and single-target abilities and thus make your opponents’ health points dwindle.
According to the YouTuber AlexOs, a combination of both sets is advisable in PvP.
On Venus, this time it’s about rescuing oppressed workers from the greedy Corpus corporation, racing on hoverboards, and saving endangered species.
New player record set:Fans seem to be thrilled with Fortuna and have flocked to Venus in droves since last weekend. This led to a new player record on Steam of 131,766 players being online simultaneously.
Even when Game Director Steve Sinclair streamed the moments before the launch via Twitch, over 40,000 people were watching. And nothing much happened except watching a guy work.
Even more successful than the Sacrifice update: With this, Warframe broke the recently set record of over 129,000 concurrent gamers recorded for the last major update Sacrifice. And this is only on Steam, as players on consoles and through the regular launcher are not included in this number.
Players love the new update
What are the reasons for the success? As usual, a lot of work and good ideas are behind the new update. The new map and the enclave of oppressed workers are once again equipped with the familiar exotic charm of the Warframe world.

In addition, the new hoverboard races excite many players and there are plenty of new tasks and challenges on the new map.
Players collect plushies: Anyone currently checking the Warframe Reddit will be flooded with absurd plush toys. Because those who diligently rescue endangered animals from Venus receive stuffed toys to decorate their spaceship. This is currently very well received.
Record could soon be broken again: As impressive as the current record is, it could soon fall again. Because the biggest planned innovation has not yet been released by Digital Extremes.
In 2019, the expansion “Railjack” is supposed to come, where you finally get spaceship battles. This should once again attract masses of players to the servers.
Warframe is one of the most successful and fairest free-to-play games. You can find other recommended free-to-play games here:
Has Bethesda not adhered to its release schedule for Fallout 76? The servers are now online for PC, PS4, and Xbox One worldwide, as many players report.
The release was supposed to be at midnight: Actually, Fallout 76 was supposed to be released at midnight our time. Officially, you would have been able to play starting tomorrow, November 14, at 12:01 AM.
Fallout 76 now available to play on PS4, Xbox One, and PC
Players report: In our article on the official release times of Fallout 76, some readers alerted us to an early start. They can play Fallout 76 already, even though Bethesda’s official release schedule indicated different times. It is not clear if this is a mistake.
More players are logging in: On the official Bethesda Twitter there are more reports from players who are already online. This applies to all three platforms PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Also on Reddit, there are some reports saying that the servers are already online.
Does this apply to all players? We do not know that yet. However, it seems many can already play.
Update November 13, 4:35 PM: Some players report that they cannot access the game on Xbox One with the digital pre-order version. The Microsoft Store shows a message that “it is still too early.” These players will likely have to wait for the official release at midnight.
What is behind this? This is still unknown. There is no official statement from Bethesda on this. There is still a possibility that Bethesda takes the servers offline again.
Many players in the Overwatch League use medications to enhance their performance. At least that’s what one player from the league claims.
The Overwatch League might have a problem with performance-enhancing drugs. At least that’s what player Timo “Taimou” Kettunen asserts in one of his streams.
What did Taimou say? During a Twitch stream, Overwatch player Taimou, who currently plays for the Dallas Fuel in the Overwatch League, spoke about an issue in the league. “Twenty players or more” are using the drug Adderall to improve their in-game performance. If drug tests were to be implemented in the league and the drug were banned, that “would be a big problem for many teams.”

What is Adderall? Adderall is actually a medication designed to help with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Due to its “positive side effects,” such as increased and prolonged attention and faster reaction times, it is also used by many Overwatch players in the league, according to Taimou.
Even in Germany, there have been problems with similar medications for years. For example, students use Ritalin (which has a very similar effect) to get through tough exam phases and study more effectively (via faz.net).
No drug tests in Overwatch: In many esports leagues, drug tests are standard to check players for certain substances beforehand. This is not the case in the Overwatch League, and Nate Nanzer from Blizzard stated that they would “continue to discuss drug tests in the future.” So far, the reason against it is that “scientific studies would need to show that certain substances make one better at video games.”
As long as this is not the case, it seems that no drug tests will be conducted in the Overwatch League.
When Nanzer was specifically asked about Adderall, he simply stated that “Adderall would be a legal medication in America and there is no data suggesting that it makes anyone better at playing Overwatch.”
Do you think drug tests should be a normal part of the Overwatch League? Or should we really wait until studies prove that substances enhance performance in video games?
You have brought your Titan in Destiny 2 to the maximum level of 600 and now want to find out how strong the Nova Warp of the Warlocks really is? With our guide, you will quickly reach a level that will take you into the raid and beyond!
First character at power level 600? Many may now wonder how to level their second and third class. In Destiny 1, players could donate their excess gear to other classes, which could use it to infuse into their own armor (so-called cross-infusing).
Thus, in Destiny 1: If one character is at maximum level, the other two are as well (as long as they have reached the level cap).
Cross-infusing no longer works in Destiny 2: You now have to level each class separately.
However, if you are hesitant because you do not want to undergo the enormous effort for a second or even third time, you should keep reading. Because it can be much easier than you might think.
Redditor LeAlphaWolf has provided a guide that not only allows you to reach power level 590+ in just one day but also gives you the opportunity to unlock all three new subclasses as quickly as possible.
This is possible through the clever use of your character at power level 600, the Exotic vendor Xûr, and your collection!
Pushing Power Level on Second Characters – the Requirements
This is how you can equip the best items on your second Guardian: Before you can make really big jumps, some preparations are necessary:
Unless you have already done so, create a new character of the class you want to level
Complete the base campaign (the expansions Curse of Osiris and Warmind are optional)
Complete the Forsaken expansion
Reach maximum level 50 with the second character
Which equipment you use during this procedure is up to you. Do not worry about infusing your gear until level 50; this gear is typically obsolete within a few minutes.
Pro Tip: Use your character with power level 600 to pull the white submachine gun Sorge MG2 from your collection. This submachine gun has a power level of 580, but has no level requirements!
However, use this weapon on your second character only to quickly eliminate bosses. If you constantly carry the SMG, you will receive new gear, but it will be well above your level.
Once you have reached maximum level 50 and completed all relevant quest steps, it’s time to get serious.
So You Achieve Power Level 590+
Grab your main character and visit Xûr! At maximum level of 600, you can purchase the exotic armor piece that your second character should wear from the noodle-face. This armor piece will drop 20 power levels below your level, so at 580. Then follow these steps:
Transfer one weapon for each slot at level 600 as well as the exotic armor piece to your new character
Go with the new character to the collection under Armor > Leveling
Buy blue armor for the lowest slot until you no longer have level progression. Since the armors scale with your level, you will always receive armors with a higher level up to a certain point
You should now be at power level 577 and can theoretically dive into the Last Wish raid immediately. However, before doing so, you should complete milestones to obtain powerful gear that is not only legendary but also advances your level.
If you have completed this and finished the raid at least once, you should already be at power level 590. Those who played the campaign with friends probably only needed 15-20 hours for the whole process. To unlock your additional focuses, you can still visit the blind well (a Seed of Light is obtained during the story, another in the raid).
Play the raid a second time and complete the milestones to reach the maximum level of 600 within a week. Congratulations!
