Fallout 76 has been released and players can explore the vast world of West Virginia. Those who purchased the Tricentennial Edition may now be looking for their DLC items. Here’s how you can get your items.
Today, on November 14, is the official release of Fallout 76. While some were able to play surprisingly one day early, most will likely start their journey through Appalachia today.
Those who secured the Tricentennial Edition in advance are likely now searching for their DLC items. We’ll reveal how you can get your items.
You need to craft the DLC items yourself
Here’s how you can obtain the contents of the Tricentennial Edition: To see if you have unlocked the items, you need to check the Atomic Shop. There, you should see the items displayed.
However, not all will land directly in your inventory. You first need to craft them or unlock blueprints for them.
These items are included in the Tricentennial Edition:
Tricentennial Power Armor Skins (T-51, T-45, T-60, and X-01)
Tricentennial Weapon Skins for the 10mm Pistol, the Hatchet, and the Laser Rifle
You can’t craft everything immediately: For some of the contents, you first need the regular blueprints.
Where can I craft the items? You will need an Armor and Weapons bench for the outfits and skins. You will find these shortly after leaving the Vault at the Overseer’s first camp.
The camp items are immediately available to you as soon as you have the corresponding blueprints. Set up your camp and simply build the appropriate furniture.
On November 13, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 received update 1.05. It introduced a feature that now makes the tough grind for black market ranks a little easier – provided you are not a complete noob at the game.
In addition to numerous tweaks, fixes, and the popular Nuketown map (initially) for PS4, one specific feature of update 1.05 stood out. Especially those who toil hard for black market rank advancements should be pleased. Because Black Ops 4 has now simplified this tough grind a bit.
Black Ops 4 gives you a black market rank every day – if you win
The progress is not tied to player performance, but depends on pure playtime. The effort required is enormous and, in the eyes of many fans, still disproportionately high even after a tweak.
Moreover, the returned microtransactions are believed by fans to be pushed by the tedious grind. For recently, rank advancements on the black market can also be purchased with real money. Anyone who wants to have everything can easily spend $1,000, as shown by a YouTuber’s test.
This is how Treyarch makes the grind on the black market easier: The increasing criticism likely hasn’t gone unnoticed by the developers at Treyarch. With the latest Black Ops 4 update 1.05, the studio is apparently responding to the fans’ feedback.
In Black Ops 4, you can now receive an additional bonus rank daily with little effort on top of your normal progress on the black market. All you have to do is win a multiplayer match or earn a merit in the in-house battle royale mode Blackout.
If you are not extremely unlucky, this is a very easy way to secure additional ranks for black market progress. This allows players to advance more quickly in the respective black market streams and secure more cosmetic rewards.
What is the black market? The black market represents a type of in-game shop, where the contents can be earned through increasing gameplay progress in multiplayer and in Blackout, but can now also be purchased with COD points, a real-money currency.
The streams are individual cosmetic content packages within the black market that revolve around a specific theme or motif. They are temporarily available and regularly provide Black Ops 4 with new content.
The last chapter of ARK: Survival Evolved has now also been released on consoles. ARK: Extinction has finally been released for PS4 and Xbox One.
Just a few days after the release of the latest expansion “ARK: Extinction” on PC, players of ARK: Survival Evolved can now embark on a new adventure on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The expansion “Extinction”, which is very different from the ARK you know, is now available in the respective store.
What is ARK: Extinction about? In what is likely (for now) the last chapter of ARK, players return to Earth after spending a long time only on the island Arks. Here, they can discover what exactly has happened to the Earth and encounter a lot of machines. New dinosaurs, of course, also have to be included, which can be stored in pocket-sized Cryopods and released quickly.
Fans of the story will likely be particularly excited, as they will find out where the dinosaurs come from that have been fought or tamed for ages in ARK.
Titans are the ultimate bosses: The biggest threat on Earth is probably not the spreading pest, but the Titans. You can encounter these gigantic machines and bring them down in challenging battles. If you want, you can even tame the massive robots. But don’t expect your neighbors to be happy when you bring the “cute little ones” for a visit.
How much does ARK: Extinction cost? In the respective store for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, ARK: Extinction costs €20.
In the world of Pokémon GO, there is often talk of IV values. We will explain why these values are so important and how to calculate them.
Players among you who have been playing for months probably already know what IV values are. But new players often wonder what this all means and why IV values are so important.
We will explain to you what IVs are and show you how to calculate these values.
What are IVs?
What does IV mean? When talking about IV values, that is actually not correct. IV stands for Individual Values, meaning individual values. Therefore, one speaks of IV and not IV values.
Every Pokémon has individual values. These consist of three different data points.
Attack value
Defense value
HP value
Each of these values can range from 0 to 15 for Pokémon. For example, a Pokémon can have an attack value of 8, a defense value of 10, and an HP value of 15.
IV is the combination: All three values together result in the IV. The closer all three values are to 15, the higher the IVs of the Pokémon. If all three values are at 15, then the Pokémon has 100% IV.
This is why IVs are important: IVs are important in battles. So level up a Pokémon with high IVs. Every Pokémon also has set attack, defense, and HP values. Their so-called base values. If a Pokémon has a base attack value of 200 points and additionally has an attack IV of 15, then it has a total of 215 attack points.
IVs can make a Pokémon stronger. The higher the IV, the stronger the Pokémon.
Before you even need to use an IV calculator, you can also roughly determine the IV of your Pokémon without such a feature.
Evaluation system in the game: Professor Willow and his evaluation system in the game help you basically determine the IV of a Pokémon. If you have caught a Pokémon, then go to the evaluation of the Pokémon. Your team leaders can evaluate your Pokémon and give you a rough insight into whether a Pokémon is strong or weak.
What can IV calculators do? If you have now made a preliminary selection of Pokémon that you want to evaluate more closely, you can use IV calculators. These calculators show you how much IV your Pokémon has. They also calculate the individual values of the Pokémon.
Mobile and desktop version: There are various IV calculators. On the one hand, there are websites where you can manually enter your values. These then calculate the exact IV for you. There are also apps that show you what IV your Pokémon have. These work with screenshots or as an overlay over the display.
Pay attention to your app: It is important that your IV calculator app cannot access your game data. This violates the guidelines of Pokémon GO and has already led to the banning of some players. With calculators that work with screenshots or overlay, you are better off.
In Fortnite: Battle Royale, the gliders can no longer be used multiple times. This has deadly consequences for all who had gotten used to it.
What was the deal with the gliders? Since the end of October, you could unpack your glider anytime in all game modes of Fortnite and safely glide to the ground if you fell somewhere.
How do the gliders work now? The gliders now have the same function as before the change with Patch 6.30: You use them to reach the ground safely at the beginning of the game. Additionally, you can use them again after using a rift or a launch pad. Otherwise, not.
Too much of a good thing
Player base divided: The new glider mechanic sparked controversial discussions for weeks. Some players loved it and enjoyed the new freedom and speed it brought to the game.
Other players hated the new gliders and felt that it completely disrupted the game mechanics of fall damage and the approaching storm circle. You no longer had to think much about escape and could happily run around the map and build huge fortresses without a escape point.
Why did Epic do this? These negative voices seem to have resonated with Epic as well, because in a statement, it was said that they were not transparent enough with the players and have now concluded to reset the gliders.
The innovation with the gliders seems to have disturbed the game balance too much.
Will the new glider be gone for good? In the modes “50vs50” and “Disco Domination“, the reusable gliders are supposed to remain.
Deadly consequences
Massive deaths due to falls: According to many statements in comments and on Reddit, the sudden change in the glider mechanic has led to an increase in deaths from falls in the game. Many players have internalized the new gameplay in recent weeks and were used to jumping fearlessly into the depths and opening the glider.
Storm and fall damage claim victims: As this is no longer possible, countless players smashed on the ground, thereby losing the chance for victory.
Others were ruthlessly caught off guard by the storm and burned in it because they spent too long looting and did not consider that they were not fast enough on foot to escape the storm.
It will take some time for everyone to get used to the new, old conditions and to plan sensible escape routes while building and looting again.
The long-awaited new area Drieghan for Black Desert players is finally playable in the West. In the zone, players can expect a new world boss, lucrative farming areas, and a cute baby dragon pet.
If you want to check out Drieghan, you just need to update Black Desert and log into the game.
What can we see in Drieghan?
Drieghan is a new area in the southern part of the world of Black Desert. It is characterized by a mountainous landscape, swamps, and sparse fauna. Special attention is given to the cursed tribe of Sherekhan. In several quests, you will learn more about the curse of this people.
Drieghan offers brand new awakening weapons and additionally lucrative farming spots where you can increase your wealth.
Garmoth challenges you:Garmoth is a large red dragon waiting for players in Drieghan. Brave players can challenge him and will be rewarded for defeating the dragon with
rare items
and possibly a horn from Garmoth
Particularly the horn stands out. It can be exchanged for a dragon egg.
Cute dragon pet for diligent players
Free pet for dragon collectors: You will receive the young blood-red dragon when you exchange Garmoth’s horn with the NPC Gerson for a dragon egg. Gerson is located near the trade supervisor Tikara in Duvencrune.
Getting the cute dragon pet is therefore quite simple in principle. However, luck needs to be on your side, as Garmoth does not always drop his horn.
The young dragon is the first pet of the “special” type and can be obtained for free. It comes in six different versions.
Can I obtain the dragon in other ways? The young dragon can be registered in the marketplace and can also be purchased there.
Players have long been waiting for Drieghan
Reheated content: The area Drieghan has been playable in South Korea for over half a year. Accordingly, players in the West have been waiting a long time for a release of the area. In the forums and on Reddit, some players have been feeling frustrated about the long wait in recent months.
Other players praise the story of the new area and are looking forward to experiencing adventures in Drieghan.

In Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 you need to find four characters from previous series installments for the Icons Challenge: Reznov, Mason, Woods, and Menendez. However, this is not easy at all. You can find out how to do it here.
What is the Icons Challenge? In the Blackout mode, you need to find four characters from previous Black Ops games for the Icons Challenge. You will find them by completing sometimes absurd tasks in the game. We will explain what you need to do exactly to get these Specialist skins in Blackout in the following paragraphs.
How to find Reznov
To get the grim Russian Reznov, you need to find his famous hat.
The requirement for the Specialist: Search at the wells of Estates, Asylum, and the red statue at Raid for a Ushanka hat and keep it in your inventory.
This is what the cap looks like.
The challenges for Reznov: Once you have the cap, you need to kill an enemy at “Extreme Range.” This means any distance of 200 meters or more. Once you have the kill, you need to survive long enough to finish in at least the Top 5 for Solos, Top 3 for Duos, and Top 2 for Quad teams.
How to get Mason
To get the CIA agent Mason, you first need to unlock Reznov and also play in the challenge.
The requirement for the Specialist: First, as Reznov, find a “dirty white T-shirt” from a supply drop.
The challenges for Mason: Once you have the shirt, you need to “wake the sleeper agent.” To do this, go to the location “Array” and activate the “Emergency Broadcast” button in the transmission tower. Then, you just need to finish among the Top 3 in Solo, Top 2 in Duo, and as a winner in Quad to get Mason.
How to get Raul Menendez
For this notorious villain, you need brutal melee skills.
The requirement for the Specialist: First, find a necklace with a pendant in a supply drop.
The challenges for Menendez: After that, you need to complete the following tasks in the same match with the pendant in your inventory:
Kill an enemy with a shotgun
Kill an enemy in melee
Ideally, you should get the perk “Brawler” for the last task, as it will increase your melee damage.
How to obtain Frank Woods
Sergeant Frank Woods has a particularly fast-paced and tricky challenge.
The requirement for the Specialist: First, find Woods’ bandana. You can find it at the helicopter spawn point north of the shooting range on the Blackout map.
This is where you can find the bandana.
The challenges for Frank Woods: With the bandana in your inventory, you then need to fly around in a helicopter for about a minute. After that, you need to win the game, and the Specialist skin is yours!
The TOTW 9 (Team of the Week 9) for FUT in FIFA 19 is known. All players in the Team of the Week with Inform cards in overview.
The TOTW time in FUT 19: When will the Team of the Week be released? The TDW 9 will be announced on Wednesday, November 14, 2018, at 4 PM. As every week, you can draw the special cards of the TDW players from packs starting at 7 PM.
This is the Team of the Week: The “Team of the Week” consists of players who excelled in real football in the past week. For example, through goals, particularly good performances in important victories, or similar. These players are rewarded with special cards that come with an improved rating.
These special cards are more valuable than the normal cards of the players. But if you already have one of the TDW players in your team, you can earn some coins with the standard card through smart TOTW trading.
TOTW 9 – The Team of the Week in overview
Starting XI:
GK: Szcesny – Juventus (ITA1) – Poland
CB: Rami – Marseille (FRA1) – France
LB: Robertson – Liverpool (ENG1) – Scotland
CB: Hector – 1. FC Köln (GER2) – Germany
CM: DavidSilva – Manchester City (ENG1) – Spain
CAM: Marco Reus – Dortmund (GER1) – Germany
CM: Partey – Atletico Madrid (ESP1) – Ghana
LM: El Shaarawy – AS Roma (ITA1) – Italy
LF: Pléa – Gladbach (GER1) – France
ST: Cavani – PSG (FRA1) – Uruguay
ST: Depay – Olympique Lyon (FRA1) – Netherlands
Substitutes:
GK: Sels – Strasbourg (FRA1) – Belgium
RB: Almeida – Benfica (POR1) – Portugal

RF: Mabil – FC Midtyilland (DEN1) – Australia
ST: Finotto – Citadella (ITA2) – Italy
Here are the 3 best Ultimate Team players of Week 9
Top Player 1: Edinson Cavani. The forward from Paris Saint-Germain is one of the best target strikers in the game, strong in headers and finishing. With his Inform card, Cavani breaks the magical barrier of 90.
This is why the Cavani card will be interesting for you: If you have a Ligue 1 team, you should secure Cavani – there is no better striker in the French top league. If you should have national teammate Luis Suarez in your team, you can form one of the most dangerous strike duos in the world in Inform version – if you have the necessary coins.
Top Player 2: David Silva. David Silva plays for Manchester City, which recently defeated city rival Manchester United. Silva played a significant role in the buildup.
This is why the Silva card will be interesting for you: David Silva is a great playmaker who knows how to assert himself on the field with trickery and accuracy. He is well placed in a Premier League team, and there are plenty of combinations possible with Spanish players. The only downside: Silva is modest in pace.
Top Player 3: Marco Reus. The attacker from Borussia Dortmund recently led BVB to a 3:2 victory in the top match against FC Bayern, securing the Inform card and the absolute highlight position from a German perspective in TDW 9.
This is why the Reus card will be interesting for you: Some of you may already have Reus in the POTM variant. In this case, you do not need to go for this one. For all others, who want one of the best Bundesliga players ever in their team, this card could be an option – and the standard card is likely to become cheaper soon.
TOTW Highlights from a German perspective
These Bundesliga players are with Marco Reus:
Alassane Pléa: The forward from Borussia Mönchengladbach is currently scoring at will. With him, you gain a powerful striker for your team who should be quite affordable.
Jonas Hector: The national player plays in the 2. Bundesliga but attracted attention during the 8:1 victory over Dynamo Dresden, contributing two goals and assisting one.
The best packs in the game increase the chances of drawing one of the popular TOTW players. In the new Title Update 3, which has been available on consoles since yesterday, new faces are included – also from the current Team of the Week? The “Road to the Final” cards are also still available in sets – or via SBC:
As a multiplayer game, Fallout 76 operates on various servers where players can play with others. An option to rent private servers is planned, but you will have to wait.
Private servers are coming: The Game Director of Fallout 76, Todd Howard, confirmed in a Q&A at Quakecon 2018 that Fallout 76 will receive private servers. It will definitely happen, just not right now.
Fallout 76 “Rent Server” Feature Coming Later
When can I rent a server? Fallout fans will have to wait until the end of 2019 before they can rent private servers for Fallout 76. However, a specific date has not yet been mentioned by Bethesda.
Private servers are servers that run separately from the official servers. They are managed by the renters, who are usually players themselves, and can be password protected or have special rules and settings.
How do I rent a private server? Currently, there is no information on what private servers for Fallout 76 will look like. However, if Bethesda follows the model of other survival games, renting will be quite simple.
You will likely not rent private servers directly from Bethesda, but from providers like Nitrado or G-Portal. The providers offer servers at various prices that you can then set up and manage on your own. Once we know more, we will provide you with the information at MeinMMO.
Why rent private servers? When Fallout 76 was announced, the question of private servers quickly arose. Since the early release of Fallout 76 on November 13, more and more players have been asking about it. Three reasons drive this:
Mods: Players want to modify Fallout 76 similarly to the predecessors. This is only possible on private servers.
Playing with friends: Especially streamers want “community servers” where they can play with “their people” without being disturbed.
Currently, many fans say this keeps some people from playing. They want a Fallout experience according to their vision and do not want to share their world with other players who might disturb them, even if Bethesda is strict against troublemakers.
Playing Solo Even Without Private Servers
Since Fallout has become known as a single-player series, many fans prefer to experience Fallout 76 alone as well. By default, there is no solo mode for Fallout 76 and none is planned.
If you want to give the game a chance with friends, you can quickly find players in our Fallout group. Also, visit us on Facebook for more news and information about Fallout 76.
Anyone who commits crimes in Red Dead Redemption 2 will have a bounty placed on them. However, in most cases, this can be prevented.
Because every good cowboy can simply have a bad day, one can commit crimes in Red Dead Redemption 2. You might rob a bank or just punch the loudmouth man across the street. However, if you’re careless, you’ll soon find yourself the target of law enforcement and face a bounty.
We will tell you how to avoid these difficulties.
Avoiding Witnesses
In Red Dead Redemption 2, the old rule applies: Where there is no plaintiff, there is no judge. If there are no witnesses to your act, then no one will pursue you and try to arrest you. However, if there are witnesses, they are categorized into different tiers – depending on their level of knowledge. You can quickly identify what type of eyewitness you are dealing with by looking for the eye symbol on the minimap.
White Eye: The witness only knows that something happened, but has no specific details. As long as Arthur flees quickly, no one can find out his identity, and there will be no bounty.
Dark Red Eye: The witness has seen more but cannot fully identify Arthur. This is only possible if Arthur has not committed a crime while wearing the same clothes in the same area. If he is wearing the same outfit as in a previous crime and does not wear a bandana, the witnesses will be able to identify him.
Bright Red Eye: The witnesses have seen everything and know exactly who committed the crime. These witnesses must be stopped before they can inform the police. This can be done through intimidation and threats or through brute force.
Keep in mind that brute force can also be seen by others, which can trigger an ugly cycle. Then it might be better to just accept the bounty before you dig yourself deeper into trouble.

Law enforcement can’t be easily outsmarted in Red Dead Redemption 2. They recognize Arthur even if he is wearing a mask, which inevitably leads to a bounty.
As long as they can see you, they will pursue Arthur. Only when you can break their line of sight will you lose the “red radius” on the minimap that was previously centered on you. If you manage to completely escape this area (and not run into the guards again), they will stop the pursuit.
By the way, people also remember Arthur’s crimes and appearance. If you had a bounty in an area and return to that area in the same clothes to commit another offense, people will recognize Arthur immediately.
It’s worthwhile to always have one or two sets of clothes on hand to commit crimes and then be able to move innocently in an area.
The magazine Forbes annually awards the “30 under 30”. These are 30 people under the age of 30 from around the world that you should keep an eye on. For 2019, two stars from Fortnite and one from League of Legends are included. Ninja, Ali-A, and Doublelift are among the 30 biggest stars under 30 in the world.
The magazine Forbes is known for its lists. These lists are a kind of unofficial world ranking for specific things. They are “high score” lists for real life.
For these lists, Forbes is famous:
Forbes has a list of the richest people in the world – with Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos at the top
a list showcases the most powerful people on Earth – with China’s head of state Xi Jinping at 1, Putin at 2, and Trump at 3. The US president surely thinks this is fake news.
there is a separate list for the most powerful women, where Angela Merkel ranks number one
a list for the highest-paid entertainers: boxing star Floyd Mayweather before George Clooney
and there is the list of the “30 under 30.”
Content Creator: Ali-A
World Ranking of Humanity
What is the “30 under 30”: The “30 under 30” list honors 30 individuals each year who are under 30 years old. There are 20 lists for different sectors.
The largest list is “Celebrities”, the stars. This list is somewhat of a “world ranking of young celebrities”. In 2019, three gamers under 30 can be found on this list.
LoL star Doublelift was honored with a dedicated video by Riot Games.
These 3 gamers made it onto the “30 under 30” in 2019:
Alastair Aiken, 25: Forbes sees “Ali-A” as one of the most popular content creators for Fortnite, reaching 15 million subscribers and 5 billion views on YouTube.
He has broken two Guinness World Records for subscribers and is the star of the car show “Ali-A’s Superchargers.”
Yilang Peng, 25: The LoL star “Doublelift” also made it onto the list; he plays as a marksman for Team Liquid in League of Legends.
Forbes says Doublelift is known for his skill and his flamboyant personality. Doublelift has won the North American Championship five times, reached half a million fans on YouTube, and has 800,000 followers on Twitter.
Who else is on the list? The “30 under 30” is a colorful mix. Basketball star Blake Griffin barely made it onto the list at 29. Musician Post Malone is also among the “30 under 30.” The 14-year-old musician Grace VanderWaal is the youngest on the list.
What do you think of these world rankings, and do the 3 gamers deserve to be on the list?

This week, Hawthorne has a new raid challenge for clans. We explain how to master the challenge “Strength of Remembrance” in Destiny 2.
If you are a member of a clan, you have an additional opportunity to earn powerful gear in Forsaken. Hawthorne offers special weekly bounties for clans. These challenges require you to achieve specific feats in the Forsaken raid “Last Wish”.
Strength of Remembrance – How to Master the New Clan Challenge
If you want to crack this challenge, you need to successfully complete the namesake weekly bounty that Hawthorne has prepared for clan members this week. The challenge takes place in the new raid “Last Wish”.
If you want to unlock the raid seal and claim the title “Riven’s Bane” for yourself, there is no way around this challenge.
These are the requirements you must fulfill for the bounty:
You must be a member of a clan. This specific bounty cannot be completed otherwise.
Your clan must be at least level 4. Otherwise, you will not be able to accept the bounty.
This is how the new challenge “Strength of Remembrance” works: First, you should obtain the corresponding bounty. You will receive it from Hawthorne in the Tower. Once that’s done, it’s time for you to enter the Last Wish raid.
The bounty “Strength of Remembrance” is available from Hawthorne in the Tower
There, you first need to fight your way through to the final boss Riven. The path there and the basic mechanics for all boss encounters, especially the complicated fight against Riven, are explained in our raid guide for Last Wish.
If you are only focused on the challenge and want to save yourself the path to Riven, you can shortcut at the Wall of Wishes by entering the code for the 7th wish.
Once you reach the raid boss, the mechanics of the challenge are quickly explained. During the fight, the players on the upper floor will need to shoot 6 eyes of Riven.
The additional challenge now is that during this phase, each of the 6 team members may only shoot one eye of the Ahamkara – so one eye per player. If even one Guardian shoots multiple eyes or if someone misses an eye, the challenge fails.
This makes the already probably most complex fight in Destiny’s history even a bit harder. Perfect communication and coordination of the entire raid team are crucial here.
This is how you can shortcut: In addition to the regular tactic, this challenge can also be mastered relatively easily. This requires a special tactic during the boss fight against Riven, which we will not go into here, as it essentially involves a cheese.
However, anyone who defeats Riven using the currently popular cluster bomb method will also successfully complete the challenge at the same time. The “eye problem” is completely eliminated.
By the way: The cluster bomb tactic can also be executed perfectly with the new heavy machine gun Thunderlord. 6 Thunderlords melt the final boss in seconds.
You can see how the challenge unfolds in this video from Nexxoss Gaming:

The latest patch of Heroes of the Storm is live. Those using an XP booster are now also doing something good for their teammates.
Since last night (13.11.2018), a new patch is active in Heroes of the Storm. The update not only brought the new heroine Orphea, but also a change to the XP boosters. They now support not only the consumer but also all their teammates.
What are boosters? XP boosters, previously known as Stimpacks, can be used in Heroes of the Storm to earn additional XP and gold. This helps players reach new levels faster, unlock more rewards (such as loot boxes), and buy new characters more quickly. Boosters can be purchased with real money, but they are sometimes also included in loot chests.
XP-Boost for teammates: A change to the boosters makes the whole thing more social. The XP boost now works not only for the buyer but also for all teammates in a match (that is, all 4 allies and all 5 opponents). They each receive a bonus of 5% on their earned experience points.
Here are a few examples:
If only the player has the XP booster, their own bonus remains at 100%. All other players receive 5% bonus XP.
If the player and two other players have the booster, their own bonus is 110% for all with an active booster and 15% for all who do not have a booster.
If all 10 players have an active booster, each player receives 145% additional XP (that is, 45% as extra bonus).
This bonus adds to the regular XP bonus. So instead of 100% additional XP, a maximum of 145% is possible with the booster.
Additional XP bonuses: In addition to the booster, players can further increase their XP, as Heroes of the Storm encourages playing with friends. Playing in a group with a friend earns 25% additional XP. If the player joins a group of 5 players total, they can earn another 50% bonus XP.
Playing in certain leagues is also rewarded. A match in the Hero League offers 25% additional XP and a match in the Team League offers 50% XP.
Combining all possible effects can generate a bonus of 270% bonus XP – nearly four times the normal value. This practically rains loot chests.
Are you using the XP boosters in Heroes of the Storm? Do you think it’s good that they now have a “social” component? Or should teammates not benefit from your own boost?
In Patch 6.30 for Fortnite: Battle Royale, there are files for the new shop skins. After Halloween, colorful new outfits and items will come.
The next skins for the shop are known:Halloween is officially over, because the new skins from Update 6.30 are colorful and vibrant. They feature chaotic punks, colorful wizards, and sushi masters.
In addition, there are also some equally wacky gliders and tools.
Beware, datamining: However, the information comes from datamining and may change.
You will see these skins soon in the shop
The outfits: This time there are five new costumes for your characters in Fortnite:
Riot: A grim punk who oddly does not seem to have a female counterpart.
Taro: An unusual skin that portrays a colorful, masked figure.
Castor: A sinister-looking wizard.
Maki Master: The female version of the sushi cook skin that existed some time ago.
Elmira: A sorceress and the female counterpart to Castor.
These are the back blings: The new skins again come with a lot of crazy back accessories. Among them is a maki sushi and backpacks for the wizards. Taro, on the other hand, has a grim mask as a backpack.
This is the new glider: The gliders are particularly wacky this time. There is a flying fish, magical wings, a generic yellow glider, and a bizarre flying chicken.
These are the new pickaxes: The two wizards get a magic wand and Taro gets a kind of archway. However, there is also a whisk and a double pizza cutter axe!
These are the new emotes: Five new emotes are known. Among them is a time-out, two dances, and an emote that makes unicorn llamas dance!
Here you can find a list of all skins and outfits released so far in Fortnite:
The launch of the online game Fallout 76 occurred a bit prematurely, which is why players have been discussing Bethesda’s new game for a while now. We summarize the first reactions from players. Notably, there are some really bad user reviews on Metacritic.
Why is Fallout 76 struggling? Right after the game’s announcement, criticism began to pour in.
Fans of the Fallout series preferred a single-player Fallout 5
Players were concerned about the PvP
There were fears that the story would be neglected
Time and again, Bethesda tried to explain to fans that this is a “real” Fallout
Boss monsters also have stronger and unique weapons.
Exploring the huge game world creates the typical Fallout atmosphere
It’s fun to search for resources and fight enemies with friends, and build bases
The fights play fluidly
Crafting is enjoyable because it’s quick and easy
There’s a lot to do, and even alone, you can keep busy
A divided community
This is what some fans are saying about the game: Many Fallout fans have spoken out by now. Some report positives, while others criticize. Therefore, heated discussions are taking place in the official forum.
Here are some positive voices:
illusiveenergy states in the official forum: “I have been playing all day since the servers opened. I can’t say there’s much in the game that I dislike.”
Oldbolt_Theck explains: “I’ve only been playing for a few hours. But I like it. It feels like Fallout. I don’t mind that there are no NPCs, because you get the missions from robots and through radio transmissions.”
However, some voices in the forum are negative:
twothe states: “I had high hopes for the game, but after the beta and now post-launch, I feel bored already. The main problem is that it feels unfinished and poorly balanced. Many activities are pointless.”
LostEskimoBro expresses disappointment: “I understand that you need to introduce new things, but if you claim that there is solo play, then it must be there. After less than an hour, I just want my money back…”
Extremely bad user reviews on Metacritic
The user reviews on Metacritic currently paint a grim picture. The ratings are at
Xbox One at 1.4 with 91 reviews
PlayStation 4 at 1.7 with 209 reviews
PC at 2.0 with 211 ratings
Individual voices say:
sleazy898 states: “Terrible. Full of bugs, as expected from Bethesda. FPS-lock, no field of view adjustment, fetch quests, lags, and boring. Ridiculous!”
SKK50 writes: “Not a Fallout RPG, but very fun in PvE when exploring a Fallout world with friends. Great landscapes, a lot to do, and offers some elements from Fallout 4.”

Max Schaefer from the development studio Echtra Games recently spoke a bit about the monetization model of the upcoming MMO Torchlight Frontiers. They promise to refrain from Pay2Win mechanics, meaning an aggressive cash shop.
Schaefer rules out Pay2Win because there is nothing to win in Torchlight Frontiers. Additionally, the development studio speaks out against gambling methods and monetization types that can be exploited in a deceptive manner.
Free2Play without Pay2Win
What payment model does Torchlight Frontiers offer? Echtra Games wants to bring the hack-and-slash MMO to market as a Free2Play game. However, Echtra Games CEO Max Schaefer assures that there will be no Pay2Win elements.
The payment model of Torchlight Frontiers still needs to develop
Not every game can, according to Max Schaefer, successfully utilize the same Free2Play model
There should be no gambling elements
Players should always feel like they have the chance to earn something in the game, such as special loot
There might be special items like relic weapons in the shop that can also be earned through gameplay
The shop will mainly consist of cosmetic items and decor for housing
The contents of the shop will be adjusted based on player feedback during live operations
There are no premium areas that only paying customers can access
They want to learn from other Free2Play games: Echtra Games is aware that there are many Free2Play games with unfair payment models. Therefore, the team closely monitors the market. They observe what works, what doesn’t, and what resonates particularly well with players. All this will be considered in implementing their own monetization model.
Reserved joy among fans
This is what fans think: Many players find the ideas good but remain somewhat skeptical. They want to first see how the system works in the game and whether there are still one or two Pay2Win elements present.
What status is the MMO currently in? The “Diablo MMO” Torchlight Frontiers will start an alpha stress test on November 16, for which invitations are currently being sent out. The release is planned for 2019 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

This week, Spider offers the guardians in Destiny 2 a new big wanted bounty. The goal is to track down and eliminate the Eye of the Darkness. As a reward, you will receive powerful equipment.
What is the Eye of the Darkness? It is the final boss of the new weekly bounty “Wanted: Eye of the Darkness”. This Hive Screamer has escaped from the Prison of Elders, and it is now up to you to hunt it down and take it out. You can find the bounty at Spider – the vendor in the Tanglevine of the Reef.
This bounty takes you to Mars
What reward do you get? If you master this big bounty, you will receive powerful equipment. This is random loot that drops items beyond the soft cap of Power Level 500.
Eye of the Darkness – Location and Mechanics
This is how you find and defeat the Eye of the Darkness:
Step 1: You can get the corresponding bounty for five Ghost Fragments at Spider in the Tanglevine. So first, acquire this bounty.
To accept the bounty, you need to have a Power Level of at least 500. A level of 540 is recommended. If you go with friends and tackle the bounty as a fireteam, it can be completed at a lower level. Note that you have seven days after purchasing to complete the bounty before it expires.
You can obtain Ghost Fragments from, among other things, public events in the Tanglevine.

Step 2: Now head to the area of the Miasma on Mars and look for the adventure “Wanted: Eye of the Darkness”. Note that this adventure can also spawn in the Braytech Futurescape area. However, all the important mechanics remain the same.
If you don’t find the adventure in the Lost Sector in the Miasma, check the other adventure symbols until you find the Eye of the Darkness. Since the target is in a Lost Sector, you should also check the locations and entrances of the two possible Lost Sectors on Mars:
Step 3: Once you have discovered the correct adventure, accept it and then enter the corresponding Lost Sector – in our case, Ma’Adim Subterranean (may vary). There, you will encounter powerful Hive enemies and possibly Cabal foes as well. So proceed cautiously and carefully. You are not under time pressure.

Fight your way through the Lost Sector to the boss room. The path is self-explanatory. When you reach the last large room, you will notice the initially closed Screamer, which is still invulnerable.
This is how you defeat the final boss Eye of the Darkness
Step 4: Under the Screamer sits a group of Thralls. Eliminate them, and the boss fight begins. The Screamer remains invulnerable at first. However, numerous Hive enemies will spawn and make your life difficult.
You must eliminate these Worm-Touched (Source: G-Zockt on YouTube)
To inflict damage on the boss, you need to kill the Worm-Touched. They are exploding Thralls with a health bar. When you kill one, it explodes and leaves behind a puddle of green slime.
If you stand in this slime long enough, you will receive the 20-second buff “Worm’s Trail,” which is indicated by a display on the left side of the screen and a greenish aura. This will open the Screamer and it will begin attacking you.
In this sludge puddle, you get the necessary buff (Source: G-Zockt on YouTube)
At the same time, you will also be able to wound the Screamer – until the buff expires. After that, the Screamer will close again and the game starts over. Follow these steps until the boss is defeated. Finally, you only need to redeem the completed bounty in your inventory. Then there’s a powerful reward.
Tips for the boss fight:
Since you must stand in the slime to receive the buff, kill the Worm-Touched so that they die in a spot not visible to the boss. This gives you cover and you are not completely exposed to enemy fire. Note that the boss can change its position multiple times during the fight.
In Fallout 76, you have access to the mobile C.A.M.P. that you can take anywhere. But how do you pack it up and place it somewhere else? You can find out in this guide.
Building is a part of Fallout 76: The building system is one of the features of Fallout 76. Players can create their own camp anywhere in the game world. For this, you receive the C.A.M.P. tool at the beginning.
With this tool, you just need to choose a suitable spot and you can get started. But what if you set up a camp and later find a better place? Here’s how you move your camp to another location.
In the Pip-Boy menu, you can select the option “Move C.A.M.P.” in the bottom left.
Packing up the camp costs you Caps
This is how you relocate your camp: Your camp cannot be packed up directly. But that’s not a problem. Even if you have already set up a camp somewhere, you can always establish a new one.
However, each time you do this, it will cost you Caps.
This is what happens to your old camp: Your items are moved from the old camp to the new camp. Your already built items are saved as blueprints. So you can set everything up as it was.
All items that you have already crafted are available to you again.
Can I set up my camp anywhere? Not quite. The game world of Fallout 76 is vast and offers plenty of space. However, you cannot set up a camp in the middle of any city or mine.
You must limit yourself to the “empty” spots between the markers on the map. If you still want to set up a camp in towns and at interesting locations, you must conquer one of the fixed workshops.
You can recognize them by the large red workbench. You then have to occupy this workbench first. Other players can also try to conquer this workshop.
How do I conquer the workshops? First, you need to stand at the base workbench. For a fee in the form of Caps, you can start the conquest. During this time, you need to hold the workshop for a specific time window.
During this time, the actual owners have the opportunity to fend off your attacks. If no one is present, the time window expires, and the workshop goes into your possession without a fight. For such PvP battles, there are apparently also some perk cards that PvP fans will love.
If the workshop has no owner, you can simply go to the workbench and start the conquest process. In that case, you don’t have to pay any Caps.
Have you already set up your camp?

Your goal is to destroy the opponent’s fortress with the mascot. However, you have some time to prepare before the action starts. Until then, the two teams are separated by a barrier.
Additionally, there will be respawns. However, explosive weapons will not be available. You will find plenty of weapons and other materials in numerous red supply drops. Moreover, you will harvest twice the amount of resources.
New Item, Turrets: The new turret is now a permanent feature in the game. It is a legendary trap that you must mount. However, to use it, you must enter the turret and can then fire indefinitely until the turret overheats. The turret itself can be destroyed, and anyone who climbs it can use it. By the way, the turret’s base is indestructible.
A few more minor updates will also be added:
The pickaxe now deals double damage, 20 instead of 10. You can now kill an opponent with 5 hits!
Quad–crashers will now spawn at their designated locations.
There is a new tournament called “Loot Pop-Up Cup.” In it, you gather resources 40 percent faster and have a cap of 500 materials each. Kills give you 50 health or shield back.
You can injure yourself in the starting area and see damage numbers. However, you cannot fall below 1 health. Damage does not count for challenges.
You can now crawl on the ground for 60 seconds instead of 50 before you die.
The Features from Patch 6.3 of Fortnite: Save the World
A lot has changed in the PvE mode Save the World. The entire user interface has been redesigned. Additionally, the skill trees have been replaced by a new upgrade page.
All previously earned skill points have been removed, and you will receive upgrade points instead. The amount of upgrade points you receive depends on your current account level.
The same goes for research, which you can use to upgrade your heroes.
A new revolver called “The Last Word” has been added to the game. It deals particularly high headshot damage.
There is a new heroine, the Flight Pioneer.
