The game universe of the space online game No Man’s Sky is gigantic. Those who search long enough will find the coolest things. For example, the perfect setting for “The Nightmare before Christmas.”
Exploring the galaxy of No Man’s Sky reveals the most interesting stuff. This is shown by the player Reefguy007, who has discovered something truly extraordinary.
How a movie found its way into the game
Nightmare before Christmas in No Man’s Sky: Who remembers the animated film Nightmare before Christmas from 1993? In the film, which was made using stop-motion techniques, Halloween king Jack Skellington wants to make his town celebrate Christmas, which puts the entire holiday at risk.
The film features an iconic scene with Jack Skellington on a strangely curved hill in front of the moon.
No Man’s Sky player Reefguy007 discovered a mysterious, dark planet during his explorations in the galaxy that immediately reminded him of the film. For on the planet grow strange plants that resemble pumpkins.
A little terraforming completes the scene: Reefguy007 wanted to recreate the scene from Nightmare before Christmas with the hill at a location on the planet. However, he had to do a bit of terraforming to adapt this place to match the film’s model. While he didn’t have a moon for the background, he had a large planet with a ring.
Now, Reefguy007 posed on the hill like Jack Skellington in the film and struck a nice pose. Thanks to multiplayer, he had a friend film him. The result is astonishingly close to the original.
No Man’s Sky is a game full of unforeseen possibilities
Endless possibilities in No Man’s Sky: This action shows how many freedoms and options players have in No Man’s Sky.
It’s worth taking a ride through the galaxy to see what the planets have to offer that you find during these exploration tours. Perhaps many players will now feel motivated to do as Reefguy007 did and start their journeys into space. There is certainly a lot to discover.
The Hunter/Hunted mode integrated into Fallout 76 seems to be a stripped-down Battle Royale mode. At least that’s what the PvP guide released by developer Bethesda suggests.
After some details and first gameplay of PvP in Fallout 76 were recently released, there is now more information about the assassination game, which Bethesda now refers to as the Hunter/Hunted mode.
This is integrated into the Pip-Boy and allows players to search for targets to take down. At the same time, another player is set against you. Bethesda’s new PvP guide now shows that it has several similarities to a Battle Royale mode.
Hunter/Hunted Mode Stripped-down Battle Royale?
This is how the feature works: To start the mode, you need to select it in the Pip-Boy radio. As soon as at least 4 players have joined, it begins.
You receive a target that you need to search for and kill,
at the same time, another player is set against you.
You have one hour to locate your target,
but over time the area gets smaller, bringing you, your pursuers, and your target closer together.
If you kill your target, that target’s target is assigned to you. This continues until only one player is left.
There are similarities to Battle Royale games like PUBG or Fortnite, with a few changes. For example, you have access to your equipment and do not have to gather it during the round. Additionally, you do not need to hunt every participant, but only one target.
What do you get as a reward? You will earn experience points and caps for taking down a target. The more targets you eliminate, the greater the reward. Up to a maximum of six kills.
Are you in the Hunter/Hunted mode on a different server? This is still unclear. It should be the case since the map gets smaller.
This is also a possible explanation for how uninvolved players who do not want to play PvP are not drawn into the hunt. However, there is currently no information on this.
Now there are many details about the size, cities, and special spots in Red Dead Redemption 2. Map leaks are circulating.
Shortly before the release of the highly anticipated western game Red Dead Redemption 2, leaks are increasing.
What’s new? After only a rough look at a section of the map was leaked initially, there are now detailed views from a guidebook.
Spoiler: Here in the article you will get an insight into the map of Red Dead Redemption 2 and places for random encounters.
Complete Map of Red Dead Redemption 2 – Leak
Rough glimpse of the map: Users on Reddit have now leaked images of the map. In this post, user Wave24 shows how huge the map is. Due to the mediocre quality, you can only see rough sections and only a slight spoiler. It becomes clear how vast the open world with its special places is.
Where does the leak come from? It seems that the leak comes from the official guidebook. The section is titled “Places for Special Random Encounters.”.
What can be seen? Important places are marked on the map. There you will find:
How does it all look combined? The 6 leaked detailed shots were then combined into a large map.
That’s why RDR 2 is so big: After the detailed shots of the huge map from Red Dead Redemption, it is clear why the game is so large on PS4 and Xbox One. The preload for Red Dead Redemption 2 is now running – this is how much space the game needs on the drives.
Many fans hoped that they could travel to Mexico in Red Dead Redemption 2. With this new leak, it seems that Mexico is not part of RDR 2. You can read comments from disappointed fans saying, “RIP Mexico”.
For alchemists, life in World of Warcraft will soon become easier. Every day they can create Anchorweed to meet the demand. This should significantly lower the prices for flasks in WoW. Raiders are addicted to them.
The rarest current herb in World of Warcraft is probably the Anchorweed. Players with herbalism are searching for it like crazy, as depending on the server, a single plant can be sold for up to 600 gold – a true goldmine. However, with Patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance, the price for Anchorweed is likely to decrease significantly.
What is changing? Alchemists can learn a new transmutation in Patch 8.1. They can use other herbs from Zuldazar and Kul Tiras to transmute into Anchorweed.
The production can be done once per day and grants at least 10 Anchorweed (enough for 2 flasks). However, with a proc, more Anchorweed could be gained from the transmutation.
Why is Anchorweed so important? Anchorweed is the basis for all flasks in Battle for Azeroth. In many raid guilds, there is a “flask requirement,” which means the demand for Anchorweed and the corresponding potions is always high. Most herbalists and alchemists are unable to meet this demand, causing prices to skyrocket.
Why is Anchorweed so rare? In almost every expansion, there is an herb that is particularly rare or expensive. Especially at the start of an expansion, farming is the only method to acquire these herbs – a “trader” is still missing. Thus, this is the golden time to make a real profit from the herbs.
Recently, Destiny 2 has kicked off its second year with the Forsaken expansion. However, initial supposed information about the third installment of the series is already circulating. What do the leaks say about Destiny 3?
The Reddit user AnonTheNine is currently stirring up discussion on the platform again. After his leaks concerning the Return of the Thunderlord during the Festival of the Lost, he now shares supposed information about the next installment of the Destiny series.
Warning – Potential Spoilers! Read at your own risk!
This is what AnonTheNine says about Destiny 3
The alleged information is likely to delight many fans of the series, if they are indeed true. Apparently, Bungie continues to cater to the wishes of its core community for Destiny 3.
Destiny 3 development has started: The development of Destiny 3 is reportedly just getting underway, according to the leaker. Game Director is said to be Chris Barret. Luke Smith is also said to play an important role.
Destiny 3 is not for casuals: AnonTheNine claims that if Bungie truly implements its idea of Destiny 3, many players who play for two hours a week will abandon the game.
A whole lot of RPG elements are expected to come— the role-playing aspect is said to be pushed more strongly. The game is expected to become even more “hardcore” than Forsaken.
Guardians use the Darkness: What has already been hinted at in some instances surrounding Destiny might come true. As AnonTheNine claims, Guardians are supposed to use the Darkness in the third installment.
PvEvP Patrol Zones: Moreover, there should be patrol zones in the world where both PvE and PvP are possible. It is said not to be a kind of Dark Zone from The Division. Rather, it will be a battle for territory where PvP has a specific purpose.
Europa
Europa as a Patrol Zone: What Bungie has already planned in the original Comet expansion for Destiny 1 is supposedly being implemented in Destiny 3. Jupiter’s moon Europa will likely become a new location there. AnonTheNine posted a picture of Europa with the words: “Can’t wait.” He subsequently clarified his statement: “D3.”
This is what AnonTheNine says about the future of Destiny 2
The third year of Destiny 2 is also expected to be provided with content through an Annual Pass.
The Thorn is set to return with the premium content “The Joker’s Wildcard” in Spring 2019.
A new horde mode is expected to come with The Black Armory in December. The longer one survives there, the better the loot is supposed to become.
The first raid lair for “Last Wish” is supposed to take place in the EDZ on Earth – specifically in the Old City.
AnonTheNine emphasizes that he has leaked nothing about the return of the Ice Breaker.
The EDZ will receive two new zones – whether the Cosmodrome is already included in this is not known.
When does Destiny 3 come out? Actually, the master plan from Activision already has September 2019 slated as the release date. However, if there is, as the leaker says, a year 3 for Destiny 2, then Destiny 3 would be due in September 2020.
Who is AnonTheNine? AnonTheNine is a Reddit user whose leaks about Destiny 2 earned him significant respect in the community. The community suspects that he has a well-informed source or an insider directly at Bungie.
He has already provided fans with extensive information about Destiny 2 and the Forsaken expansion multiple times – often months before the information was officially released or could be found in the game data. The majority of his information has proven to be accurate down to the smallest detail.
While this does not guarantee that he is right this time as well, due to his previous leaks, it seems that his information is not unfounded. Nevertheless, these are unconfirmed details. Therefore, one should also view this leak with a healthy dose of skepticism.
The tasks for the next weeks for Fortnite are known. In week 5 of season 6, it will mainly be about vehicles and the stunts you can perform with them.
Datamining leak for new tasks: The tasks for week 5 of season 6 are known thanks to datamining. According to the leaked information, this time it’s about kills and vehicles.
Warning, no guarantees: In season 6, the leaks from dataminers have been notoriously unreliable, and Epic has often laid false tracks. This could also be the case in week 5.
The free challenges without a battle pass in season 6, week 5
Record a speed of 25 or more at various radar traps (5): This task is new and could possibly really go online on Thursday.
Especially in Paradise Palms, there are often speed measurements where you can see how fast you are. The task should be easily achievable with golf carts and quad ramps.
Should cause chaos among builders: The quad ram
Jump through burning tires with a shopping cart or an all-terrain vehicle (5): This task was already there in season 5. It might come back. However, the wording suggests that the brand new quad ram is excluded. So it might just be a placeholder.
Deal damage to opponents with the tactical shotgun (200): A rather unremarkable task, but it is quite doable. The tactical shotgun is a good weapon.
For these 4 tasks in week 5, you need the battle pass
Eliminate an opponent from less than 5 meters away (1): You can ideally combine this task with the tactical shotgun and complete two challenges at once.
Otherwise, other close combat weapons like SMGs or shotguns will work, or you can just take out an opponent with your pickaxe, that should also count.
Deal damage to opponents with submachine guns (500): Another unimaginative 08/15 task. Fortunately, submachine guns are common and great for dealing damage.
Eliminate an opponent with the minigun (2): This task is hopefully a placeholder, as the minigun is not exactly good for killing opponents. It’s more for pinning down enemies and wrecking buildings.
Deal damage to opponents with standard pistols (200): This task is likely to change further. Probably, there will also be damage with silenced pistols and hand cannons.
More info on Thursday
Warning, some tasks will certainly change: As is unfortunately usual in season 6, a lot could still change. Some tasks did not appear last week and some of the challenges sound a lot like placeholders.
As soon as the tasks are live, we at MeinMMO will offer the correct challenges and provide comprehensive guides again.
The details of the demo for WoW Classic are known. We will reveal what can be played.
At BlizzCon 2018 and a few days later, all owners of the virtual BlizzCon ticket can dive into a demo version of World of Warcraft Classic. The developers want to show how far they are with the game and how it already feels. Now Blizzard has revealed the scope that the demo version will have.
What is playable? On the Alliance side, the area of Westfall is playable, while on the Horde side, it takes place in the Barrens. All characters start at level 15 for the purpose of the demo, so they already have a few talent points and abilities.
The maximum level is 19, and characters cannot leave the two test areas.
You can create multiple characters, allowing you to try out different classes and professions.
No dungeons will be available, and PvP is only possible through the duel function.
How much can be played? To give all ticket buyers a chance to dive into the game, the time per player will be limited. It may happen that WoW disconnects you after a few hours to allow other players to join. After all, there is no phasing, and the areas could become quickly overcrowded with few servers.
If you log in later, you can pick up exactly where you left off.
The servers will be open at least from November 2nd to 8th.
What has changed since then? Although it is Classic, there are a few changes that come from the new version of WoW. However, these are primarily features intended to facilitate fair gameplay. These include:
The game starts through the Battle.net app
The cross-Blizzard chat is available
Widescreen monitors are supported
Players can be reported by right-clicking
Supportive features, such as the “colorblind mode,” are included
However, there will not be a 32-bit client. After all, the “old” World of Warcraft is based on the current code, and support for 32-bit systems has also been discontinued.
What do you think of Blizzard’s plans? Does that sound good for a demo? Or is that far too little to form an opinion?
As the German company gamigo AG announces, they have acquired the game company Trion Worlds. Trion Worlds is known for MMORPGs like Rift, Trove, and ArcheAge. They also publish Defiance 2050, an MMO shooter, and Atlas Reactor. There were reportedly massive layoffs during the acquisition.
Acquisition announced: According to various financial news services, the German gamigo AG has acquired “substantial assets” from Trion Worlds. As part of the deal, the buyer only takes on the assets with which they wish to continue the business.
The gamigo AG has acquired the majority of the assets and the platform. They will also take on employees from Trion Worlds and receive full publishing rights to the games.
The brands of the games from Trion Worlds will be taken over by a sister company and will be made available exclusively to gamigo AG worldwide.
Here are the figures regarding the deal:
Management expects the Trion Worlds acquisition to generate revenue of $18 million in 2019.
The gamigo AG anticipates a profit of $1 to $5 million before interest, taxes, and depreciation due to synergies and scaling effects.
How much did gamigo pay for Trion Worlds? The amount is said to be in the “low double-digit millions,” meaning more than $10 million.
Who is gamigo? It is a publisher for browser games and MMOs based in Hamburg. They publish games like Fiesta Online or Last Chaos. In 2016 they merged with Aeria Games (Echo of Souls) to become a “new player” in online gaming.
Layoffs at Trion Worlds – 175 out of 200 employees gone
How many remain at Trion Worlds? According to Gamasutra, there was a mass layoff at Trion Worlds. Of the originally 200 employees, only 25 are said to remain now. This information comes from an anonymous source. The figure is not yet confirmed.
This is what Trion Worlds says: Trion Worlds does not provide numbers, but states that “many of the names and faces known from the studio will make the transition, while others will not embark on the journey.”
They are forever grateful to all who are leaving Trion Worlds for their work.
In the Rift forum there is an official statement to reassure concerned fans. It states that there will be a “transition phase.” Layoffs are reportedly planned.
It is said, however, that the games should continue, as they are in “capable hands.” They are currently working on a smooth transition and will provide more information as soon as possible.
This was announced by Linda “Brasse” Carlson, one of those who is being laid off. MassivelyOP reports this.
What about ArcheAge? The MMORPG ArcheAge intends to stick to the plan to release the major Patch 5.0 on Wednesday. That is at least the official announcement.
From Producer Khrolan (via ArcheAge forum) it sounds different: He says that much is in motion, and he does not rule out a delay of the important patch.
Trion Worlds – Studio in Crisis
This is what it’s about: It’s a relatively surprising piece of news. Many games at Trion Worlds have not developed favorably in recent years:
In 2014, the Korean MMORPG ArcheAge was briefly a hit, but the studio could not maintain that success – Trion Worlds was not the developer here, just the publisher
With the introduction of the 4th generation in Pokémon GO, many Trainers are faced with a problem: Where to put all the new Pokémon? They are running out of storage space for Pokémon.
The maximum storage for Pokémon is 1500 Pokémon. You cannot carry more than 1500 Pokémon. Many players find that too little.
Why is it too little? Especially after the 4th generation was introduced in Pokémon GO, many Trainers are complaining about a lack of space. They already had little space before. Now there are an additional 26 new Pokémon coming. Even more will come in the next weeks.
How is Niantic responding to the space demands?
So far, Niantic has not responded at all and is keeping players waiting. A few months ago, they fulfilled players’ wishes by increasing the storage to 2000 slots. There is currently nothing tangible in sight for Pokémon storage.
Announcement deleted again: In July, Niantic announced an expansion to 2000 slots. Players were excited about this change. But it has not been implemented in the game so far. It remained an announcement.
On the Pokémon website where this announcement was published, there is now no trace of it.
The announcement that has since been deleted
Why doesn’t Niantic simply increase the storage? It seems so simple: Niantic increases the storage capacity and makes money in the process. Both sides would be satisfied. So far, increasing the storage limit cost 200 coins for 50 additional slots.
Player believes server load is to blame: Twitter user “StardustPokmnGO” tweeted: “The truth is that Niantic’s servers cannot handle the extra load. 500 new Pokémon that can be carried and that with over a million active players puts a heavy load on the servers. I see no other explanation.”
The server load is just one of many possible reasons why the storage limit in Pokémon GO has not been increased so far.
The fact is that the Pokémon team announced an expansion in the summer, but nothing has changed so far.
Why do so many players wish for an expansion?
Who suffers from space issues in Pokémon GO? : There are many players who collect Pokémon with various traits. Be it a funny CP value, gender, or the shiny form of the Pokémon.
Example Pikachu: Some players do not want just one Pikachu. They want one male and one female Pikachu. Then Pikachu can still be shiny. Additionally, there are the various party hat Pikachu that also cannot be missing.
If you collect so many different forms of each Pokémon, then 1500 slots are often not enough.
What is the mood of the players?
On Reddit, the user “PokemonGOchamp” wrote about his criteria for keeping Pokémon. He also asked the question “I guess there won’t be a storage limit expansion for the Community Day?”
Many users agreed with him. OKJMaster44 replied: “I still wonder that with the release of the 4th generation and before a new Community Day, there was no expansion. Who is organizing these events at Niantic?”

The cries for help from the community are loud. Under many new announcements from Niantic, players repeatedly ask about the expanded storage offer. When Niantic will respond and announce an expansion remains to be seen.
In Fortnite: Battle Royale, a lot has happened again. Last weekend, the flying island returned to its original location and opened a portal in the sky. However, some fans seem to be getting bored.
Runes fall to the ground: The runes floated in a circle around the island until they suddenly all fell to the ground.
Island returns to the lake: After the runes had fallen, the island floated back over the bottomless pit at Leaky Lake, the lake formerly known as Loot Lake in the northwest.
Is the next big map change coming? At a high altitude, a kind of portal in the sky formed at the end point of the beam. According to a data leak, it is growing larger regularly and will reach a total of 6 stages of growth.
It seems that the cube has arranged for the runes to draw energy from the surroundings, and it has now “harvested” this energy. Therefore, it now has the power to open the portal.
Theories and bored fans
What happens next? As always, fans are eagerly speculating about what will happen next:
The map could be completely sucked into a parallel dimension, which fans have been speculating about since the end of Season 5.
The volcano theory might still hold true, and Loot Lake could still become a large volcano.
Some fans even speculate that Thanos might come out of the portal and reintroduce the previously unique Infinity Gauntlet mode.
Slowly getting bored: However, the overarching plot of Fortnite is slowly getting on many players’ nerves. They are tired of watching some strange things for seven weeks, which then cause even stranger things to happen.
The cube and its bizarre actions are simply too abstract and vague for many. The comet and the rocket were more concrete and tangible.
Fans making fun of the cube: Thus, fans are slowly poking fun at the plot. Here are some voices from Reddit:
“Kevin [the cube] is preparing to revisit every old rune. Get ready for an eternity of Kevin rolling around the map!”
“Hopefully, something better than weird objects flying or rolling around the map will come soon. It’s been 7 weeks waiting for something interesting.”
“What if a huge tear opens in the sky and things from our earth fall through?” [Referring to the story of Season 5]
“Maybe a portal opens and the rocket comes out and destroys Kevin?” [Referring to the story of Season 4]
“Kevin is drawing power for his “Spirit Bomb” technique! Stay tuned for the next episode of Dragon Ball: Fortnite!” [Referencing the frequent filler episodes in the anime Dragon Ball Z]
The latest news continues to take steam off the kettle. Fortnite Save the World will not be free in 2018:
Our author Schuhmann says that as a casual Guardian, he likes three things about Destiny 2: the new mode Gambit, pulse rifles, and the damn Vestian Dynasty.
This is how I play Destiny 2: I play Destiny 2 quite casually and don’t stress myself too much. My Titan has casually played through the base game, then dipped into the expansions “Curse of Osiris” and “Warmind,” and has occasionally done a flashpoint. But since Forsaken, I have been regularly playing him in the evenings.
About every second or third evening, I play two to three hours of Destiny 2.
I enjoyed playing through the campaign relaxedly. However, I think I over-leveled the enemies halfway through the story missions, making the campaign easier towards the end than at the beginning. That was a bit odd.
Now I chase milestones, play strikes, a bit of Gambit, complete flashpoints, and grab whatever loot is floating around with the Vagabond and Zavala.
I’m at a power level of about 522 and play without much ambition. I’m a typical evening Guardian.
Destiny 2 in the MeinMMO editorial team: Since we have closely covered Destiny at MeinMMO since 2014, we have gained many authors over the years who know our site about Destiny. Therefore, we constantly have discussions about Destiny in our daily work. And it’s not as if everything is rosy.
Even our community manager, Irina, has a strong opinion about the game and has been complaining for a year that there are no nice Hunter cloaks anymore. And when Robert gets going, there seems to be no end in sight.
While the hardcore players in the editorial team, Sven, Robert, and Micha, can talk for hours about weapons and lore, I just want to have a bit of fun in the evenings.
However, during discussions about what Bungie could possibly be thinking and what they have done wrong again, I enjoy joining in.
With the pulse rifle, I can either stay back, aim and shoot thoughtfully, or wildly spray at close range.
How much I like the pulse rifle became especially clear when I had to play for the quest for the “Pikass” with hand cannons. At that time, I only had the Scarlet from an earlier DLC in my collection and was supposed to kill a lot of enemies with it first in Gambit and then in Strikes.
I barely managed to complete that, but now to get x kills in the Crucible with the hand cannon? I praise the pulse rifle.
I also find the quests a bit strange: With the Scarlet, I had to rush into close combat, which made me feel like a burden for the group during strikes and Gambit, like a Harakiri rabbit.
I didn’t do badly, but I felt I was playing much more offensively than I usually do with the pulse rifle. Often, defensive play would have been better for the group.
My highlight in Destiny 2: I associate a kind of love-hate relationship with the Gambit mode. On some evenings, the mode clicks perfectly. You feel that everyone on the team is pulling in the same direction and working together towards a common goal.
The mob hordes stand no chance when 3 or 4 Guardians coordinate their efforts. The moment you then collectively turn in the loot with a “bank,” feels really cool.
However, there are also matches where you have 2 total failures in the team who only want to complete certain quests and then just lounge around the invasion portal hoping that the others gather motes so that the portal opens.
Also, the ancient one either doesn’t fall at all or falls within seconds if the right tactics are applied perfectly.
Moreover, invaders, especially with the Sleeper, seem to be extremely strong. However, even I as a casual player can still take down 2 or 3 enemies if I go over and activate the Titan super. As a Hammer Titan, I slam flame waves into the ground that nicely roast the enemies.
Admittedly, sometimes I get so excited about enemy contact that I mess up a jump and fail miserably. Those are the moments I’m really glad not to be a streamer.
Overall, I find Gambit a fast-paced and exciting game mode and I look forward to logging in and seeing that there are quests waiting for me that bring powerful items. And if an evening doesn’t go well, I just call it an early night.
My favorite weapon: I have fallen in love with the Vestian Dynasty, a pistol that Petra Venj gives out in the story progression.
I was already teased a bit by my colleague Micha, who wrinkled her nose at me and asked what I see in this weapon. Apparently, there was something buggy about it, and it was then rewarded with the same roll that everyone already had.
But I really like the Vestian Dynasty.
While others find the bow in Destiny 2 amazing, I love everything about the pistol. The reload animation is simply cool, the feel of the shot is great, and sometimes enemies explode due to Dragonfly, even though you don’t really know what exactly happened.
From much contact with the Guardians in our community, I know that you can play Destiny in many different ways, and some are fiercely rushing towards power level 600. For me, it is currently a very relaxed and casual game after work.
Three years ago, we had an article from a casual Guardian who shared his adventures in Destiny 1. I’m sure he would also find a lot of joy in Destiny 2:
Project Nova will be a shooter set in the universe of EVE Online. We attended a presentation event in Iceland and brought first gameplay of all currently available classes. Check out gameplay from Sharpshooter, Assault, and Logistic.
Three classes – one map: During our visit to CCP, we had the opportunity to play and record multiple rounds of the new EVE shooter Project Nova in the coop PvE mode “Onslaught”.
In our videos you can see the gameplay of the three currently available classes:
Sharpshooter (light dropsuit)
Assault (medium dropsuit)
and Logistic (heavy dropsuit)
The recordings show the game in a “Pre-Alpha” state. A lot can change before the final game. Unfortunately, the communication of the team members was not recorded.
The three different classes in Project Nova play similarly in some areas, but they all have different abilities. Their peculiarities become noticeable especially when coordinated as a team.
All classes are equipped with two weapons, a melee attack, devices like grenades, and an ability. Each class can also build automatic turrets at certain positions.
While the main weapons, abilities, and turrets differ, our secondary weapon was always a revolver with explosive ammunition and the melee attack was also identical.
Sharpshooter – A glass cannon with considerable impact
The Sharpshooter is the “light armor class” and has the fewest hit points of all dropsuits (visible at the bottom left on the health bars). Its equipment is:
Main weapon (standard): Sniper rifle
Ability: Personal cloaking field
Turrets: Missile turrets
The Sharpshooter is most effective when it can eliminate enemies from a safe distance without being caught. It can provide fire cover to allow other classes to advance safely.

In Project Nova, you can create your own combat suit based on personal preferences and also interact with “EVE Online” players. The gameplay merely shows how the classes play by default.
In the PvE mode, the objective is to hold control over the area until 1000 points are reached and then escape. NPCs continuously attack to prevent this. Unfortunately, we could not test the PvP mode yet.
The alpha of the new EVE Online shooter Project Nova begins in 2018. If you want to play Project Nova, you need an invitation. Here you can find out how to participate in the alpha.
Project Nova – Invitation-only alpha in November: CCP, the creators of EVE Online, introduced their new shooter Project Nova at EVE Vegas. The alpha for Project Nova is scheduled to start in November 2018, but it is exclusively by invitation only.
How to play the alpha
Register on the website: If you want to play the alpha of Project Nova, you just need to register for it. For that, you enter your email address on the official Project Nova website.
You will also need a bit of luck to be selected.
The alpha is a test: If you want to play the alpha of Project Nova, you should be aware beforehand that it is a test.
Even though the game looks quite good already, it is still in an early development phase. Even the name is currently just a working title. You will likely:
encounter some bugs
not have access to all features at all times
and not retain your progress.
As a tester, you should inform the developers if something is wrong so that they can fix the bugs.
If you just want to play Project Nova, you should wait until the final release. However, a specific date for that is not yet known.
What is Project Nova? Project Nova is a first-person shooter in the dystopian sci-fi setting of EVE Online. You play as a combat clone against the attack of an illegal, totalitarian state that threatens to enslave the universe.
In Project Nova, you can fight this threat in cooperative PvE or engage in PvP as a mercenary. You will be presented with challenges whose rewards allow you to advance your progress and upgrade your combat suits.
Cortyn thinks Artifact has low chances of success. But that is not due to the game, but to the viewers.
Valve is stepping into the market of major card games and trying something new with Artifact. Instead of just playing on a game board, Artifact takes place in “3 Lanes” simultaneously, somewhat reminiscent of a MOBA. However, I believe this approach is detrimental to the longevity of a card game.
For the comparison, I will also talk a bit about Blizzard’s Hearthstone. Simply because Hearthstone is currently the undisputed leader in this genre and can serve as a good reference.
Excitement in Artifact is hard
In Hearthstone, getting excited is easy. Even if you don’t play Hearthstone, after a few minutes of watching a stream, you understand what’s going on. You grasp the processes, see a clear flow, and are immediately in the thick of the action.
Sure: In Artifact, you will eventually find your way into the game and understand what is going on as a viewer. But the entry hurdle is significantly higher. It takes a while to understand why Artifact is played on 3 different game boards at the same time and how they relate to each other.
Then you also have to keep up with all these processes. While cards are placed and buffed on Lane 3, you still have to keep in mind what is happening on Lanes 1 and 2.

In Hearthstone, you tune into a stream. You see the only game board and the cards in the player’s hand. You know faster what’s going on. You quickly have a clear overview of the game state, see whether the player shown is currently in a strong or weak position. You can soon get excited and speculate on what they will do next.
A card game like Artifact or Hearthstone relies not just on gameplay enjoyment, but also on how much fun it is to watch. It needs to be easy to understand and reveal the current status at a glance. Unfortunately, Artifact does not manage that – at least not yet.
I don’t think anyone would argue that Artifact offers more tactical depth than Hearthstone and therefore is two to three levels more complex. The question, however, is whether complexity alone is a good thing, especially when other aspects of the game are sacrificed for it.
Because every reaction in Artifact can only provoke a counter-reaction, individual turns can sometimes drag on. This not only makes the game slower for players but also less interesting for viewers. If you’re not particularly fond of mathematics, then the countless “X buffs Y” and “A weakens B when C is in the epicenter of D during an active lunar eclipse” effects aren’t particularly thrilling.
I wish Artifact to become a very successful game. Because then Hearthstone would finally have a serious competitor and would have to come up with new ideas. The developers would no longer be able to get away with simply removing the tournament mode. For Hearthstone to receive new impulses, a successful competitor would be the best thing that could happen.
It’s actually a pretty sad view when I say: “I hope Artifact is good, so Hearthstone can grow from it” – but unfortunately, that’s all I currently attribute to the game.
The “real sport” and eSports are growing closer together again. The German Motor Sport Federation has taken the plunge.
Sim-Racing as a motorsport discipline: In a meeting of the German Motor Sport Federation (DMSB) on October 4, the board decided to officially recognize Sim-Racing as a motorsport discipline.
Simulation and reality are closely related
Professionals train with simulations:According to board member Dr. Gerd Ennser, reality and simulation come closer together in no other sport than in motorsport. There are even many professionals who prepare for real races through Sim-Racing.
In Sim-Racing, the possibilities for customizing vehicles and tracks are so realistic that they can be used for training. Athletes use the simulations to familiarize themselves with unknown tracks before a race.
Furthermore, training for motorsport athletes should become both cheaper and more accessible through Sim-Racing. Rule changes can first be tested in simulations and evaluated by professionals before being applied to real sports.
What is Sim-Racing? In Sim-Racing, realistic conditions of real car races are simulated. Sim-Racing is not just a video game for the couch. Many Sim-Racing fans equip themselves with proper gear:
Steering wheels
Gas and brake pedals
Shifters
sometimes even special seats that simulate a car seat, with a screen acting as the windshield.
Sim-Racing uses realistic rules, making it closer to real motorsport than many other games are to their real counterparts.

“Casuals” are excluded: The DMSB restricts the inclusion of racing games in sports strictly to Sim-Racing. Simple racing games like console or mobile games are not considered an official discipline.
Clear rules and technical standards are important so that interested parties can truly engage in Sim-Racing and distinguish themselves from those who “just want to play.”
The aim is to reach individuals who genuinely want to dedicate themselves to Sim-Racing as a motorsport discipline.
Console players are not allowed to participate. Anyone who wants to become a professional needs equipment.
Easier entry for aspiring professionals: Through Sim-Racing as a discipline, the entry for younger individuals into motorsport is also to be eased. Most players are already in the ideal age range for active motorsport participants (between 18 and 44 years).
Since practically anyone can participate in Sim-Racing, the leap into “real motorsport” would thereby be easier. Those looking to make the jump to motorsport can prepare. For those who want to stay in Sim-Racing or are physically limited, there remains a motorsport discipline where they can participate and excel.
The DMSB’s action aligns with other sports federations. The DFB has already included eSoccer in its program, and there are several professional teams for eSports in football. However, veterans like Uli Hoeneß oppose it.
With the Forsaken expansion, not only weapons but also armor in Destiny 2 received new perks and random rolls. But which perks can roll on which pieces of armor? And what do they do?
Since the release of Forsaken, players can choose from a wide pool of perks to maximize the effectiveness of their loadouts and adapt them to a specific playstyle. The following information aims to assist you in making a decision.

The Armor Perks in Destiny 2 – What You Need to Know
The choice of the “right” perks heavily depends on the individual preferences of each player: What weapons do you prefer to play? What abilities do you prefer? Do you play mostly PvP or PvE?
There is no one perfect over-perk. However, there are several important aspects to consider when choosing perks. With this knowledge, it should be easier for you to assemble a very own set tailored to your individual needs.
Armors have 3 Tiers of Perks in Destiny 2
Armors in Destiny 2 can exhibit three different tiers of perks:
Tier 1: Slightly improves a stat
Tier 2: Improves a stat
Tier 3: Significantly improves a stat
You can identify the first two tiers of perks by what is stated in their respective description, that is, how they improve a stat. Tier 3 only exists with the so-called Enhanced Perks. These are recognized in the description by the “…improves significantly…”. Furthermore, an Enhanced Perk is marked with a + or a star in its icon.
Source: Holy_13 on YouTube
Currently, Enhanced Perks can only roll on armor pieces from the Dreaming City set, the raid sets from “Last Wish”, and Exotics. On all other armor pieces, only the first two tiers are possible.
The helmets can exhibit three different categories of perks:
Target Perks: These perks grant the armor wearer better aim assist, accuracy, and target acquisition speed for a specific weapon class or a whole group of weapons (for example, energy weapons).
It is also important to note:
Some helmets can roll the following Enhanced Target Perks: Hand Cannons, Bow, Sniper, Linear Fusion Rifle.
The aim assist mainly determines how strongly your weapon “sticks” to the target once you have aimed at the enemy. This function is more significant on consoles than on PC.
Accuracy is primarily important for hip firing but also offers some slight bonuses when using the scope.
Ammunition Perks: These perks grant the wearer higher ammunition reserves for certain weapon classes (Reserves) or increase the drop chance for special or heavy ammunition on kills (Finder).
It is important to note:
If you stack multiple Heavy Ammo Finder perks in your loadout, it can happen, according to user reports, that the additional Heavy Finder perks have either no or a negative effect, thus yielding less heavy ammunition.
So, having more than one Heavy Ammo Finder perk is not worth it (currently) in your setup.
Ammunition reserves increase the total amount of ammunition you can carry.
Super Perks: These perks grant increased super energy for specific actions such as shotgun kills or melee attacks.
It is important to note:
Kills with heavy weapons and grenade kills can roll as Enhanced Super Perks.
A super normally takes 5 minutes to charge while standing still.
The perk Pumped (Shotgun Kills) reduces this time by 5-6 seconds per kill (1.7% cooldown reduction).
Sniper kills (Remote) reduce it by about 7 seconds.
Grenade kills (Ashes to Attack) also reduce it by approximately 7 seconds (9 seconds as an Enhanced Perk).
and Packed (Melee Kills) reduces it by 9-10 seconds with 2 kills.
Heavy Duty (Power Weapon Kills) shortens the super charging time by 9 seconds.
All these times include both the energy regained from the kill itself and the bonus.
The gauntlets can have four different categories of perks:
Reload Perks: These increase the reload speed of certain weapon classes or weapon groups.
Important: The difference between the normal loader perk and the enhanced version is minimal, but with both perks, you are significantly faster compared to the regular reload time.
Ammunition Perks: These perks grant more ammunition for certain weapons when picked up (Looters) or increase the drop chance for special or heavy ammunition on kills (Finder).
It is important to note:
The looter perk for fusion rifles apparently does not work in PvP.
Cooldown Perks: These perks reduce the cooldowns of certain abilities during specific actions.
It is important to note:
Both possible perks – namely Impact Induction and Swing Transfer – can be rolled as Enhanced Perks.
With Swing Transfer, a grenade hit reduces the melee cooldown by 1-1.5 seconds.
As an Enhanced Perk, Swing Transfer grants back 5 seconds of cooldown.
The effect of Swing Transfer has its own internal cooldown.
With Impact Induction, a melee hit reduces the grenade cooldown by 7 seconds.
The effect of Impact Induction has its own internal cooldown of approximately 8 seconds.
Special Perks: This refers to the special perk Fastball, which increases grenade throw distance.
What the Chest Armor Perks Can Do
On the chest armor, perks are divided into two categories:
Calm-Aiming Perks: These perks reduce the flinch from enemy hits when using the aim-down-sights of certain weapon classes or whole groups of weapons.
It is important to note:
In the middle perk slot, only Calm-Aiming Perks can roll.
Ammunition Perks: These perks grant more ammunition reserves for certain weapon classes or increase the drop chance for primary or special ammunition on kills (Finder).
It is important to note:
Ammunition reserves increase the total amount of ammunition you can carry.
What the Leg Armor Perks Can Do
On leg armor, there are four perk categories:
Agility Perks: These perks make certain weapon classes or weapon groups faster to ready and stow them faster.
It is important to note:
The agility perks are often underestimated in PvP and can be invaluable in Guardian duels.
Enhanced agility perks can roll for hand cannons, shotguns, snipers, and rocket launchers.
Cooldown Perks: These perks reduce the cooldowns of abilities and supers during specific actions.
It is important to note:
Bomber and Distribution can roll as Enhanced Perks.
Dynamo and Distribution are currently being reviewed by Bungie as they are considered somewhat too strong in certain combinations.
A super normally takes 5 minutes to charge while standing still.
Dynamo reduces the super cooldown by 10 seconds.
Bomber reduces grenade cooldown by 4 seconds (from 1:21 to 1:17).
Range reduces the melee attack cooldown by 4 seconds (from 1:21 to 1:17).
Lasting reduces the cooldown of the barricade by 3 seconds, rifts by 5-6 seconds, and dodges by about 1 second.
Distribution reduces the cooldowns of all abilities when you use your class ability.
Ammunition Perks: These perks grant more ammunition for certain weapons when picked up (Looters) or increase the drop chance for primary or special ammunition on kills (Finder).
Special Perks: This refers to the special perk Grounded, which grants the wearer improved mobility and a tighter turning radius while sprinting.
What the Class Items Perks Can Do
The class items have two categories of perks:
Spheres Perks: These perks grant certain bonuses when you collect Spheres of Light – such as health recharge or recharge of class, grenade, and melee energy.
It is important to note:
Absolution can roll as an Enhanced Perk.
Absolution reduces the cooldown of all abilities when a sphere is picked up.
Ammunition Perks: This includes almost all ammunition perks. These perks grant increased ammunition reserves (Reserves) for certain weapons and weapon groups when picked up, more ammunition (Looters), or increase the drop chance for primary, special, or heavy ammunition on kills (Finder).
With The Elder Scrolls Online (PC, PS4, Xbox One) Murkmire, the developers at Zenimax once again showcase their attention to detail. They showed our author Lucas the new zone.
Impressions report with the devs: Together with Zenimax employees Ed Stark and Jeremy Sera, we explored the new DLC of The Elder Scrolls Online. During the tour, the two shared more about Murkmire and what players can expect there. Additionally, I ventured into the swamp of the Murkmire on my own and spent several hours there.
First images from Murkmire were seen four years ago at Quake Con. Was the long wait worth it?
Right at your arrival point in Murkmire, you will encounter a toad flute. This is an instrument that produces sounds with the help of swamp toads. Singing and dancing accompany this. To the visitors of the Murkmire, this music seems foreign and peculiar.
But that is just an example of what awaits you in Murkmire in terms of Argonian culture. Anyone who overcomes the initial culture shock can pick up many interesting insights about Argonian ways of life in the newest expansion.
In Murkmire, there are different tribes, each representing a different aspect of Argonian life.
Besides the Argonian tribes, you can also venture into the ancient Xanmeer ruins. Xanmeer are pyramid-like structures built by the ancestors of modern Argonians.
Moreover, Murkmire sheds light on the Argonian relationship with the Hist trees. A particular quest even allows you to peek into the bonding rituals of the lizard folk.
This is how Argonians have sex: Before release, the site V247 sparked my interest with a quest description. In Murkmire, there should be a quest where players could delve deeper into the reproductive rituals of the Argonians. Especially for lore enthusiasts or players who have long wondered how Argonians reproduce, this quest would provide answers.
After a brief search, I stumbled upon an NPC near Hellhal village who asked me to check on things in the village. There, I met the tree sheepherder who told me about a problem with Argonian eggs.
Argonian eggs
Love brings peace: While the other tribes in Murkmire only reproduce amongst themselves, members of Hellhal village are more open and use the pairing ritual as a political tool. Relationships between the tribes are arranged to ensure peace, as all Argonians become brood siblings through this.
The quest openly discusses the relationship of Argonians with the Hist:
Argonians reproduce in symbiosis with their Hist tree. When Argonians die, their souls return to the Hist tree, which in turn ensures reincarnation. Without the Hist tree, Argonian babies are just soulless husks.
To give Argonians a chance of survival, the Hist tree only chooses the strongest. All other babies return to the roots of the Hist tree.
Throughout the quest, you speak with the egg keepers. These are the Argonians who supervise the bonding rituals. They are also not shy about sharing some anecdotes from their work. In the egg keeper’s house, you will also find a substantial stack of erotic literature.
A snippet of the quest dialogue from the egg sister Mimme.
The Murkmire provides challenges for players
These dangers lurk in the swamp: In Murkmire, for the first time, the fauna is hostile towards you. Various plant species can attack you and in conjunction with the swamp’s fauna, can quickly become a problem. Fortunately, you can disable the plants for a short time by sneaking up on them.
In addition to new plant types, you will also encounter new enemies. Hackwings hunt you in groups and can become a real problem in conjunction with the fauna. Moreover, you will encounter a type of flies that call for help and attack you in swarms.
An attacking swarm of Hackwings.
The new zone is divided into three areas. From the small arrival point Lilmoth, you go deeper and deeper into the swamp. The trees grow taller and denser. The forest becomes more threatening.
The entire level design of the new zone is very beautiful. Along with the new music tracks and the atmospheric wind chimes that hang in the homes of the Argonians, it creates a beautiful soundscape that invites you to pause and enjoy the moment.
When wandering through the new zone, you notice how much effort the developers at Zenimax put into Murkmire. There are no truly empty spaces, and the zone is coherently constructed.
Murkmire is available for free
This is how you get the DLC for free: If you do not want to buy Murkmire, you can simply wait until November and pick up the DLC as a login reward. If you log in for 24 days in November, you will receive Murkmire as a free login reward. This applies to PC/Mac and also to consoles. According to Zenimax, they decided to offer the DLC as a login reward to give players the choice of whether they would like to pay 2000 crowns or not.
When can I play Murkmire? Murkmire is already available for PC/Mac. For the consoles PS4 and Xbox One, the DLC will be released on November 6.
How much does Murkmire cost? You can purchase Murkmire for 2000 crowns in the Crown Store of The Elder Scrolls Online.
Why did players have to wait so long for Murkmire? The concept for Murkmire was created even before the transition of The Elder Scrolls Online to One Tamriel and when the MMO still required a monthly subscription. Since then, players can expect small DLCs several times a year and a major chapter once a year. The last chapter was Summerset.
Who is Murkmire suitable for?
More of the same: Anyone expecting Murkmire to reinvent the wheel for The Elder Scrolls Online will be disappointed. The aggressive fauna is a nice gimmick and makes it feel livelier, but ultimately Murkmire offers more of the same. The latest DLCs also focused on providing players with new stories rather than great innovations.
However, with this approach, The Elder Scrolls Online is doing quite well. The MMO is successful and players look forward to new stories in Tamriel. And Murkmire offers plenty of them.
Surprisingly, Epic has announced that the Free2Play launch for Fortnite Save the World needs to be postponed. It will no longer take place in 2018. Epic does not provide a new release date.
This is what Epic says: After “careful consideration,” Epic has decided to launch Fortnite “Save the World” as a free-to-play game outside of 2018.
Numerous new features and quality of life improvements have already been added to the game, including new heroes, items, and events.
However, they want to bring even more before they unlock Fortnite: Save the World for free.
They want to ensure that both old and new players have a good gaming experience, so they will continue to work on the technology and performance. Epic announces this in a developer video.

This is how it has been so far: Since the Early Access launch of Fortnite: Save the World on July 25, 2017, it was clear that Fortnite was supposed to become free in 2018. However, there has been no discussion on the topic for months. It was only mentioned as an announcement in the FAQ.

Everything new in the interface and gameplay systems
This is how it should proceed now: Fortnite promises several changes to Save the World in 2018 and 2019.
They plan to completely overhaul the interface for players and give “Save the World” a new look. They will change the menus and turn the old tutorial quests into a new system.
As much as possible will be moved directly from the menu into the game.
6 Heroes instead of 3 Heroes in the Team
The hero system is set to be upgraded to give players more options. Players will then have six heroes instead of three. They will play one hero, while the other five will influence the perks and traits of the first one.
Epic will present these major changes in individual blog posts. In the coming days, the “Fortnitemares” event is set to start, the “ghouliest” of all events.
This is how players are reacting: On YouTube, the video currently has 12,449 upvotes with only 800 downvotes. Fans seem to agree with the decision. Many probably think that Save the World simply needs more time. Even though the community wants new players, Fortnite Save the World is still in beta and unfinished.
On Reddit, some players say they saw this coming because there is still so much left to do. They believe the difficult part is the transition of the V-Buck system to Free2Play.
Currently, many players of Fortnite: Battle Royale are using the possibilities in Save the World, to get V-Bucks for free. If the game went Free2Play, Epic could face problems here.
Save the World still needs a lot of polish
This is what lies behind it: Fortnite Save the World was announced as “This will be Free2Play in 2018” since its Early Access launch in the summer of 2017. Many players hesitated to buy it for this reason. The question kept coming up: “When will it finally be free?”
Even though new content is supposed to arrive in November, large parts of the campaign are still missing. It just stops in the middle of the third area, Bru-Tal. After that, the missions have no more story. Furthermore, Epic seems to want to reorganize the entire game. Up until now, Save the World was clearly divided into:
one menu section with countless screens and options
and a gameplay section with a clear map and the actual gameplay
The LoL Worlds of 2018 in League of Legends see a huge favorite exit. Almost all teams from Asia are already on their way home. This has strange effects on the Fantasy LoL “Pick ‘Em”: Out of 3.8 million people who participated in the betting game, only one remains.
This is Pick’Em in League of Legends: This is a kind of “Fantasy LoL”, a betting game where players wager who will win which matches.
Players had to predict where the LoL teams would finish in the group stage. And decide which team would fight through the quarterfinals and further rounds to ultimately win the Worlds in League of Legends.
About 3.8 million people participated in “Pick’Em”. Of those, currently only one has foreseen the crazy course of the LoL Worlds. That’s why he stands alone at the top out of 3.8 million participants. Only he is “Baron Nashor” with 84 points.
“The Dankest Timeline”
Thus, the player was correct everywhere: The player “Wandering Rictiq”
predicted that Cloud9, Fnatic, Invictus Gaming, and G2 Esports would reach the semifinals.
also foresaw that the four favorites “Afreeca Freecs”, “Royal Never Give Up”, “Fnatic”, and “KT Rolster” would win their groups, but three of them would be eliminated in the quarterfinals.
This is what’s to be won: The winner in “Pick’Em” stands to win ultimate skins in LoL from Elementalist Lux, Spirit Guard Udyr, Pulsefire Ezreal, Gun Goddess Miss Fortune, and DJ Sona.
Super Predictor Bets on Fnatic
That’s why he is alone: The Worlds in League of Legends had a surprising course in 2018:
Last year’s winner Gen G was eliminated in the group stage
What’s next? The super predictor sees a European final between Fnatic and G2 Esports, which Fnatic will win. The final will take place on November 3rd.
The Rise of the West
This is how the LoL world reacts: 5 out of 6 teams from China and Korea have already been eliminated in the LoL Worlds 2018. South Korea and China are considered the absolutely dominant regions in League of Legends.
In contrast, 3 teams from Europe and North America are still in the semifinals. They are usually considered underdogs. People are already talking about the “Rise of the West.”
On Reddit, they are talking about the “Dankest Timeline.” This is a reference to the TV show “Community.” We find ourselves in the timeline where events have taken their coolest and craziest turns.
In Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 there are a number of weapons that can kill your opponents very quickly. We have listed the weapons with the best Time to Kill (TTK) here for you.
The weapons with the best TTK? TTK stands for “Time to Kill”, the time it takes for the weapon to kill a completely healthy opponent. The lower the TTK, the deadlier the weapon.
What are the average values for TTK? To help you better assess how good the weapons presented here are in terms of TTK, here are a few guidelines for the average TTK at close range. Ideal if you want to level up quickly in the Black Ops 4 multiplayer mode.
Assault Rifles: TTK of 0.356 seconds
Submachine Guns: TTK of 0.377 seconds
Light Machine Guns: TTK of 0.360 seconds
This means that the weapons from Black Ops 4 are significantly behind the values that count in other Call of Duty games. Black Ops 4 feels a bit less fast-paced than its predecessors.
Which weapons were selected? In the embedded list from YouTuber TheXclusiveAce, 10 weapons are presented that have a very good TTK.
Shotguns and sniper rifles are not included here, as they all have a TTK of zero seconds in their respective combat situations. This is only about “regular” weapons that you use in most fights.
Furthermore, only the pure TTK was evaluated. Other factors, such as ammunition capacity, range, recoil, and accuracy, were not considered here.
Mozu: The Mozu revolver can kill instantly with the Operator Mod and high caliber and a headshot, resulting in a TTK of 0 seconds. Otherwise, it is still a very fast weapon with 0.150 seconds.
AUGR: The tactical rifle becomes a killer with the Operator Mod and the two high caliber upgrades. It achieves kills in only 0.100 seconds!
VKM: If you apply both high caliber mods and rapid fire to this weapon, you can achieve a powerful 0.150 seconds!
VAPR: Together with high caliber and rapid fire, this weapon achieves an impressive 0.171 seconds in TTK. Thus, the VAPR kills opponents almost twice as fast as most other weapons.
Spitfire: This SMG already reaches 0.295 seconds in TTK without mods. With the Operator Mod, it becomes even deadlier, achieving a kill in 0.199 seconds!
Swordfish: Without the Operator Mod, this weapon is not very good, as you need 5 hits but can only output 4 per burst. With the mod, your burst increases to 5, which is just enough for an instant kill if you hit with all bullets. This results in a TTK of 0.200 seconds!
Rampart: This assault rifle achieves an impressive 0.232 seconds in TTK with the high caliber mod and at least one headshot. A significant improvement over the average of assault rifles.
MX-9: This submachine gun with high caliber and 2 headshots achieves a TTK of 0.249 seconds
Titan: If you achieve 3 headshots, you have a TTK of 0.250 seconds
ICR: If you achieve at least one headshot at under 50 meters, you have a TTK of 0.300 seconds.
