Where does the music piece come from? According to Se7en-Rus, the song plays when you are in the start menu of the PlayStation 4 and select Red Dead Redemption 2 without starting it.
How are fans reacting to it? In the forum, most players are absolutely thrilled, even though it’s just a small passage. There are many statements like this:
“I got chills after listening to it. This game is going to be insane.”
“Holy shit, my hype has multiplied tenfold. This wait is going to kill me!”
“It sounds dark and sad, to be honest. Like the heavy start to a new story.”
Sometimes it can be so easy to reignite hype with a small piece of music.
Are you excited for the upcoming release of Red Dead Redemption 2? Are you just as eager for every bit of information? Or do you prefer to wait patiently?
In Star Wars: The Old Republic there are two entire expansions free of charge. We will tell you how you can permanently unlock them.
In keeping with the colder days, the MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic tempts with a special offer. If you wish, you can permanently add two expansions of SWTOR to your account for free.
What is free? Those who participate in the campaign will receive the two expansions “Rise of the Hutt Cartell” (Level 51 – 55) and “Shadow of Revan” (Level 56 – 60) permanently unlocked for free.
Rich as a Hutt – no problem!
How do you unlock the expansions? To receive the two expansions, you must log in with your account on the official SWTOR site and then enter a code. This code is “REVANSFATE” (without quotation marks).
Update 7:15 PM: Unfortunately, there are increasing complaints that there are difficulties redeeming the code. We will update the article as soon as we know more.
Why is there this offer? The offer is actually a “cross-promotion,” as the mobile game Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes is celebrating the release of “classic” characters from the “Old Republic” universe.
How long is the offer valid? Those who want to unlock the two expansions have about 2 weeks time. You can redeem the code until November 2, 2018 at 8:00 AM and permanently secure access to “Rise of the Hutt Cartell” and “Shadow of Revan”.
MeinMMO says: Honestly, this offer is only for players who haven’t checked back into Star Wars: The Old Republic since the “Classic” version. The two “old” expansions do not correspond to the current state of the game, and the newer expansions are significantly more appealing in terms of content.
However, it is a solid offer for anyone who wants to take another look at SWTOR to see if the game is still worth it in 2018.
Will you check back into SWTOR?Or can the game no longer entice you to log in, even if it offers you entire expansions for free?
If you want to level up in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 in the Blackout mode and reach the maximum level, that’s hard work. However, one player managed to do it in just 4 days. How did he do it?
Who is it about and what happened? A player with the Reddit name “ImstillaliveT98” recently showcased his latest achievement: He reached the maximum level of “Echelon 81” in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 in the Battle Royale mode Blackout. And that in just four days!
How does leveling work in Blackout? This is particularly impressive, as you need so-called “Merits” to level up (Echelons) in Blackout.
And you only get Merits here if you do something significant. Simply participating in a match and dealing some damage is not enough.
Even if you last a long time and survive to the last 20 players through a lot of camping, it’s worth nothing.
Only those who get kills, last a long time, or win earn points and can level up.
The Secret of Success
How did ImstillaliveT98 do it? According to his own statements, ImstillaliveT98 had to work quite hard. His statistics show:
215 matches played in Blackout
42 of them were won, which is basically every 5th game!
He has a Kill/Death ratio of 7.09 and has taken out 1,206 opponents
His average damage was 1,740
He needed a total of 31 hours for this, which he completed in 4 days. That averages around 7 hours of play per day.
What the Community Says
Players react with friendly mockery: On Reddit, ImstillaliveT98’s achievement was received positively and with friendly mockery.
Some suspected that behind ImstillaliveT98 was actually the successful streamer Shroud, which was denied by ImstillaliveT98: “I wish that were true!”
Others advised the player to finally open a window. The witty reply was: “I play with the window open”.
Another Reddit user can’t imagine that ImstillaliveT98 will make a big entrance now: “He’s surely afraid of snipers when he’s out in the open”.
The record sprinter Usain Bolt is now trying his hand as a professional footballer after his running career ended. In Australia, Bolt is looking to prove himself with the Central Coast Mariners. What are the chances for a FUT card in FIFA 19?
Since the end of his sprinting career in 2017, Usain Bolt, the fastest man in the world, has been training with the professional footballers of the Central Coast Mariners, an Australian first league club. There, he hopes for a professional contract.
What are his prospects? Will he be seen in FIFA 19 soon? Recently, Bolt even scored twice for the first time. EA has now commented on the matter.
Will Bolt be included in the next winter update?
What about a FUT card? Despite his double, the professional contract is not yet certain. It was also only a charity match. The 32-year-old may only have a chance for an appearance in FIFA 19 if he signs a contract. However, there is another option.
What are his chances of a contract? Bolt himself is confident that he has what it takes to be a professional. The season has not yet started, so we must wait to see how Bolt performs in league play.
If Usain Bolt receives a full contract, he will definitely get a FUT card in the next winter update. EA has also officially confirmed this to Fox Asia officially.
If Usain is signed by the Central Coast Mariners, he will automatically be included in the next winter update. And even if not, he could be included as a free agent.
However, if Bolt is only included as a free player, he would not receive a card for the FUT mode. He needs a club that is included in FIFA 19.
What do you think of his chances? Would you want such a FUT card?
Does Bolt, who also trained with BVB and Schalke, have what it takes to be a professional footballer, or is this just a great PR stunt for him and the club?
This is what a former national player says: Markus Babbel, a former national player and UEFA Cup winner with Liverpool FC and Bayern Munich, doubts Bolt’s footballing abilities.
Babbel is now training in the Australian league himself. The Swiss newspaper Blick quoted him saying:
I have seen him play. With all due respect, that is definitely not enough in 100 years. As a PR stunt, it is sensational. The A-League receives a lot of attention from him. But honestly, I can’t take that seriously.
What about a contract? Kotaku speculates that Bolt has a good chance of a professional contract with the Mariners for this very reason. The club receives a lot of attention from this action and the opportunity to improve its finances.
Bolt in FIFA 19 – what could that look like?
Speculation has been ongoing since Bolt began training with the Mariners. Fans hope that EA will immortalize the sprinter’s speed on a FUT card. In advance, there were even fake leaks claiming Bolt was already included in FIFA 19.
This is what Bolt’s stats might look like: Based on speculation, one should not expect much technically from a Bolt card. His passing stats are likely to be mediocre.
However, fans expect that Bolt would be among the fastest players in FIFA 19. Currently, PSG’s Kylian Mbappé and Aston Villa’s Adama Traoré are the fastest attackers with 96 pace.
This is how fans imagine a possible FUT card of Usain Bolt
Although Bolt would no longer be a young attacking talent, his card would likely resonate with fans.
What do you think of his chances? Would you want such a FUT card?
MMOs are known for being playable continuously over several years, with hours of gameplay often turning into days. Today we want to know from you what your longest playtime in an MMO or MMORPG was.
Always loyal to a game: It’s often seen in MMO communities: When players dedicate themselves to a game, it’s like a marriage.
Some players remain loyal to their games over long periods. This is especially the case with MMORPGs like WoW or Elder Scrolls Online: You create a character, invest a lot of effort into it and don’t want to part with it.
Players discover the perfect MMO where all game mechanics and gameplay elements feel just right.
Players choose a battle royale game like Fortnite, like PUBG, or like CoD 4: Black Ops. They stick with these MMOs because everything else isn’t as cool anymore. They collect skins, build their account, and expand their skills.
In any case, one invests a lot of time in these games.
Rather try something new: However, there are also players who don’t want to commit to a single game. They prefer to hop between various MMOs. Some do it because they like variety and find a single game too monotonous over time. Others simply enjoy testing new games and gaining experience in different areas of the MMO genre.
Irie says: I’m more of a person who focuses on one MMO. When I am in a game, I want to be able to play it well and that takes time.
Over the eight years I’ve played Final Fantasy XIV, I’ve accumulated nearly 500 days of gameplay … Although some of that “might” also come from standing AFK.
And now it’s your turn: which MMO has captured and held you for a long time? Do you like to invest a lot of time in an MMO, or do you prefer to play many different games? Tell us!

Fortnite: Battle Royale brings you a new vampire skin in the shop today. However, the bloodsucker seems to cause more laughter than fright among many fans.
What is the deal with the new skin? Today, on October 19, 2018, a new skin appeared unexpectedly in the Fortnite shop that did not appear in the last leak. “Sanctum” is part of the “Circle of Night” set and is intended to be the male version of the vampire “Dusk” from the Battle Pass for Season 6.
How much does the skin cost? Sanctum is available as an epic skin for 1,500 V-Bucks. That’s about 15 Euros. A cool cape comes included. If you like, you can also get the harvesting tool “Moonrise” for 1,200 V-Bucks (12 Euros) on the side.
What does the skin look like? Sanctum is a pale young man in black leather clothes, a cape, and a mask that somewhat resembles that of the supervillain Bane from the Batman movie “The Dark Knight Rises.”
In fact, the skin is supposed to depict a nasty vampire, but many fans do not take the bloodsucker seriously.
Fans see more emo-drift than terrifying vampire lord
Vampire mocked: On Reddit, Sanctum has already caused a stir, though perhaps not quite as the developers intended. Many fans find the vampire unintentionally funny and do not hold back with biting and mocking comments.
So many players immediately picture an emo teenager. “It’s not a phase, mom,” a user comments.
And others see the vampire as a reference to the former teenage band Tokio Hotel. Another user observes, “How is he going to bite someone with that mask on?”.
New version of Drift? Quite a few players see Sanctum as an “angsty” teen goth version of Drift. Indeed, Sanctum shares many similarities with the carefree graffiti sprayer from Season 5.
Even the mask is similar to Drift’s. Was Drift turned into one of them by vampires at the end of Season 5?
The cape goes so well with my purple Omega!
Sanctum has fans too: However, it must be said fairly that many players also really like the skin. Just like the Gloom Skin Raven, the vampire outfit is well received by a certain group of players.
The cape is the highlight: Some buy Sanctum especially for the cool cape that should match wonderfully with the purple version of Omega from Season 4.
In addition to a comprehensive patch with numerous improvements, Treyarch has also announced the first double XP event for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 for the weekend. We will tell you how to make the most of it.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is only a week old, and players are already being treated to their first double XP weekend. For zombie fans, there will be double “Nebulium Plasma”. The developers announced this recently on Twitter.

When exactly are double experience points available? The double XP weekend runs from 7:00 PM on October 19th to 7:00 PM on October 22nd, 2018, on all three platforms – PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
What is special about the double XP event in Black Ops 4?
Call of Duty veterans will find double XP a familiar term. For all newcomers, it’s quickly explained: As the name of the event suggests, during the weekend, players will be able to earn double experience points in all multiplayer modes.
What do double experience points bring me in Black Ops 4?
It’s simple: the more experience points – that is, XP – you earn, the more you level up. And it’s worth it. Because leveling up in the traditional multiplayer of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 grants you numerous rewards that you can use later in the game. This includes perks, scorestreaks, or weapons.
Additionally, after reaching the maximum level of 55, you can unlock the prestige mode, an additional challenge in the progression system of Black Ops 4, allowing you to earn unique rewards. There are a total of 10 prestige levels you can work through – a double XP weekend is also excellent for this.
What does double nebulium plasma bring me in the zombie mode of Black Ops 4?
In addition to double experience points, there is also double nebulium plasma in the zombie mode. But what is that?
The zombie mode in Black Ops 4 has a system that allows players to create buffs in the form of elixirs. Some of these are so powerful that they can turn the tide in a round that seemed lost.
However, making these elixirs requires time and a bit of luck. Because the rare ingredient, nebulium plasma, must be earned through gameplay. Now, there are double the amount available.
How can I make the best use of the double XP weekend in Black Ops 4?
No matter if you prefer zombies or the traditional multiplayer of Black Ops 4 – take advantage of the double XP time and play as much as you can.
For zombie players: With nebulium plasma, you will be rewarded at the end of a zombie round. The more you complete, the greater your gain, which will be doubled for the duration of the event. Furthermore, the amount of this ingredient apparently also depends on how long your team survives. This aspect should also be considered for maximum yield.
For multiplayer fans: For the multiplayer part, you can use our guide, which shows you how to level up quickly and effectively in Black Ops 4. With the double amount of XP, leveling will accelerate even more. This way, players can chase both the max level of 55 and speed up their grind for the prestige ranks.
The preload for Red Dead Redemption 2 has started. You can now start the download on Xbox One and PS4. We will show you how big the game is and how much storage space Red Dead Redemption 2 needs.
Are you looking forward to the release of Red Dead Redemption 2 on October 26? With the preload, you can already download the essential data of the game to be well-prepared for the launch.
Rockstar started the preload 7 days before release so that you have enough time to download the huge amount of data.
When did the preload start? The preload has been running since October 19 at 06:00 AM.
In recent weeks, smaller pieces of information about the size of Red Dead Redemption 2 have come to light. Now Rockstar Games officially states how much storage space RDR 2 will require.
PS4 and Xbox One require different amounts of space: The size of the needed storage space depends on which platform you are playing on. It is also important whether you have a disc version or a digital version.
Disc version: On the PS4, 99GB of storage is required for installation. On the Xbox One, it is 107GB of storage.
Digital version: On the PS4, 99GB of storage is also required for installation. Additionally, another 50GB is needed for the download. On the Xbox One, it remains at the mentioned 107GB of storage.
Help, I don’t have enough storage for Red Dead Redemption 2
The vast adventure with Arthur Morgan in the expansive open world of Red Dead Redemption 2 requires a lot of storage on your consoles. Those who already have Destiny 2, FIFA 19, and Black Ops 4 on their drives might be noticing space issues.
Upgrading to an SSD reduces the loading times of your games while also providing more storage. For Destiny fans, we have already listed the best SSDs for PS4 and Xbox One. They also help with RDR 2.
The well-known Twitch streamer Shroud is among the top players in the Blackout mode of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. But even exceptional players are not machines and are not spared from embarrassing actions.
Since the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, the exceptional player and former CS:GO pro Michael ‘Shroud’ Grzesiek has only played Blackout. In this short time, he has repeatedly demonstrated his impressive skills and has even earned the reputation of a human aim-bot. A short sample of his exceptional skills can be seen in this clip:

But now it is clear – even Shroud is just a human.
No way a human aimbot – Even pros are just humans
What happened? Well, Shroud has impressively proven with a beginner’s mistake, followed by an embarrassing death, that even exceptional players like him are not robots or bots, but just ordinary humans who can also make embarrassing mistakes.
Because it was not another top player who cleverly took out the streamer with a powerful weapon or by using cool perks. He did not heroically fall in battle against overwhelming opposition either. Shroud fell victim to his own vehicle like a bloody beginner due to a moment of inattention.
How did the vehicle kill him? As he sped through the terrain on his quad, Shroud spotted a group of players and immediately jumped off his vehicle to shoot at the opponents. What he completely neglected in his eagerness for easy kills was the fact that he was driving uphill with his quad when he jumped off.
After he managed to hit the first shots, he suddenly took unexplained damage and was pushed down the slope. Before he could even react, he had to his utter dismay embarrassingly realize that he was run over by his own quad as it rolled back down the hill after his jump.

“Oh my God, are you kidding me? I’m thinking, what the heck is hitting me?! Did I really just die like that?” you can still hear Shroud saying.
So the next time you watch in awe with your mouth open as Shroud or any other top player seemingly accomplishes the impossible, just remember: they are also just ordinary humans who can make embarrassing mistakes and beginner mistakes too. And be more careful when jumping off a vehicle on a slope.
The gold earnings in World of Warcraft have been drastically reduced. Many players are going broke and have to give up some bonuses.
Why is the community complaining? In the last expansions, there was at least a steady flow of gold without much effort. Whether through world quests or “table missions”, any player could earn a few thousand gold pieces per week without much effort. That was enough to at least finance the “WoW daily routine”. This is no longer the case.
Giving up on many things: More and more players are complaining that they can no longer obtain the necessary resources through “normal play” to buy basic items in the game.
Repair costs often rise to 700 or 800 gold coins, making “Mythic+” dungeons a new luxury for many players.
Others give up their bonus tokens, which also add up to 6,000 gold per week.
Reputation rewards, such as mounts or gear, are also shunned due to their cost.
Players want new sources of income: There should be easier income opportunities in Battle for Azeroth again. The table missions that grant gold should be buffed by at least 200% to make them worthwhile. Otherwise, they are just a waste of war resources for many – which many players also do not collect anymore since world quests no longer fulfill a purpose for them.
Currently, the gold quests grant between 75 and 225 gold pieces – too little and too rare, as many players find.
A reduction in repair costs is desired: Many players wish that repair costs would simply be reduced to a fixed value of 50%. This would already relieve a great burden and the characters would no longer be starving.
What is your opinion on the current gold earning in World of Warcraft? Is it too hard for casual players? Or is it good that gold is harder to earn again and that players have to save more often?
In the current “This Week at Bungie” blog, the developers have commented on the recent sightings of the Dreadnought in Destiny 2. However, the response may disappoint some fans.
What happened? Not only is the Festival of the Lost currently a topic of discussion around Destiny 2. Recently, a special animation of the loading screen has excited many Guardians.
Because players who are supposed to travel to Titan, see under certain circumstances the Saturn and Oryx’s Dreadnought from Destiny 1 during the approach animation.
What does the sighting mean? Fans have already crafted their own theories about what this phenomenon could mean. Some hoped that the Dreadnought would soon make its way into Destiny 2 – either as a PvE zone or as a PvP map. Now, Bungie has addressed the matter.
Dreadnought is incorrectly displayed in the game
This is what Bungie says about the matter: The developers’ statement is likely to dispel the hope of some fans for an imminent return of the Dreadnought. Because, as some have already suspected, it seems to be simply a bug.
The studio has now stated that this animation consists of old remnants. These are now incorrectly displayed during the approach to Titan. Bungie emphasizes: This loading screen is not part of future content.
Is the return of the Dreadnought now ruled out?
This is why fans believe in a return: A widely held fan theory is that Oryx’s Dreadnought could return as part of an upcoming DLC or the next expansion. Because there is a scene after the end of the base game of Destiny 2 that apparently serves as a sort of plan, indicating the order in which the Guardians will visit further locations in the game.
In this cutscene, the Light of the Traveler interacts with the following locations: Mercury, Mars, Reef, Saturn, and the Dreadnought, as well as a distant part of the solar system where mysterious ships lurk. The order of the locations has been maintained chronologically so far.
The Guardians have already visited Mercury, Mars, and the Reef in the two DLCs and the Forsaken expansion. Next up would be Saturn and Oryx’s Dreadnought. Could this system now possibly be disrupted?
What should we make of Bungie’s statement? In the announcement, Bungie explicitly refers to the loading sequence. This loading screen is not part of future content.
However, it does not mention that the Dreadnought or Saturn itself will not return. There may simply be a new animation.
In Fortnite: Battle Royale, secret stars and banners alternate every week in Season 6. Therefore, in Week 4, there is a banner again. You can find out where to find it here.
The new Hunt Group Challenge:Season 6 features a meta challenge called “Hunt Group”. If you diligently complete your challenges every week, you will receive a new cover image that continues the story of Season 6.
Among others, the heroines Calamity and the brave Little Red Riding Hood appear. The latter was already seen in the cover image of Week 3 and makes another appearance in Week 4.
Here is where to find the secret banner
Where do I have to search? As always, a hint about the banner is hidden in the image. If you look closely, you will see a strange painting in the background. There you will see a llama with a banner on its back.
Find the llama: The llama in the image is the giant llama you find northwest of Junk Junction on the map. It stands large on the coast. You can collect the banner when you go on the llama’s back and have previously unlocked the cover image of Week 4.
Is there a video as well? If you want to see the location of the banner in detail, you can watch the embedded YouTube video here. There, you will find out where to search in video form.

In Week 4, the battle between Little Red Riding Hood and the creatures of the night continues. With her trusty axe, she is on her way to the vampire “Darkness”‘s lair.
But while Little Red Riding Hood is desperately searching for the bloodsucker, Darkness is already hanging upside down behind her with a wicked grin.
It remains exciting how the story continues and how Calamity will fit in. The title heroine from Season 6 has been scarcely seen so far.

Players could hardly wait to jump from the Battle Bus in Fortnite: Battle Royale as soon as it reached land. That is likely to change now, as Epic has given the bus a speed boost.
What exactly does the Battle Bus do in Fortnite: Battle Royale? The bus flies over the map of Fortnite to bring players to their desired position. Until now, most players jumped off as soon as land was reached. This was because many found the Battle Bus too slow; they wanted immediate action and didn’t want to cruise over the map for too long.
Why is a slow Battle Bus a problem? When many players jump to nearby areas at the beginning, it leads to immediate conflict with significant casualties. Many players are consequently sent back to the lobby, thinning out the player base.
A Redditor presents a solution: A post from Redditor Ringrar about this issue quickly gained significant attention and did not go unnoticed by Epic. His argument: While many players want to target areas far from the Battle Bus, it simply takes too long.
Players want to jump straight into the game, gather loot, and fight battles. This is not possible with a slow Battle Bus. The Redditor had a solution ready as well: Just make the bus faster!
Eric Williamson, Design Lead at Epic, noticed the post and replied simply, “Yeah, we might look into that.” Less than 24 hours later, Epic posted this tweet:

Battle Bus now 25% faster: Not even a day later, Epic introduces a change in the game that significantly speeds up the Battle Bus. This should allow for the following:
Players reach the places they want to fly to faster without suffering a significant time disadvantage
The player base will spread more widely across the map, which benefits the midgame, as more players stay alive longer. A criticism that has been simmering in the community for months.
Epic once again proves its closeness to the community. They have shown time and again that they respond promptly to the wishes and concerns of the community and implement corresponding patches into the game.
For several months, you can thank the bus driver of the Battle Bus with the press of a button. This is also necessary, after all, the poor guy has to put up with a horde of quirky skins and the same music all the time. Now you have one more reason to thank him!
What do you think of the change? Just right? Or unnecessary?

The update 2.0.4 brought some changes for Destiny 2 – one of which came quietly. Guardians now have to work less to get the powerful clan reward.
What’s changed with the clan bounties: Since the update 2.0.4 for Destiny 2, the clan bounties from Hawthorne now provide more XP. Prior to the recent update, there were 750 clan XP per successfully completed bounty, but now the bounties give 1,000 XP upon completion.
The interesting part: This change was not noted in the update’s patch notes – many players were unaware of it. However, some clever Guardians quickly noticed the improvement of the bounties, and this adjustment quickly spread on Reddit.
What does this mean for the Guardians? For the Guardians, this means they now have to grind less for the powerful clan reward.
Previously, seven successfully completed clan bounties per week were necessary to meet the requirement of 5,000 clan XP, but now only five completed bounties are needed to obtain the powerful clan engram.
The good part: The powerful clan engram is one of the few sources that scale up to the max level cap of 600.
Even more changes to bounties: The weekly clan bounties are not the only ones improved as part of update 2.0.4.
It was criticized in the Iron Banner that the major bounties only rewarded Guardians with normal legendary gear. Bungie listened to the feedback and improved the Iron Banner bounties. Now, all weekly Iron Banner bounties offer powerful rewards. However, these changes were noted in the patch notes.
This week, Destiny 2 offers more than just the October Iron Banner. The Halloween event, the Festival of the Lost, is also in full swing – with numerous thematically-inspired rewards and a new activity, the Haunted Forest.

A bug is driving some players in Call Of Duty: Black Ops 4 crazy. The issue appears to be the game’s hit detection. Fans have recorded some footage of it. What’s going on?
Apparently, Black Ops 4 has a problem that, according to fans, has existed in various games in the series for several years. It seems that Call Of Duty has a general problem with hit detection.
This problem is driving players crazy
What is the problem? Players frequently report that their hits are not counted by the game. The hitmarker often does not display actual hits at all, the target takes less damage than it should, and often survives in a frustrating way even the worst hail of bullets.
For a shooter, this is a serious flaw and drives many players to despair. They express their frustration on Reddit and show recordings of the alleged bug.
In this video, someone has broken down frame by frame how this problem manifests.

On Reddit, it shows how annoyed players are with this problem. Apparently, it has existed for several years in Call of Duty.
For example, KosGrantUsEyes writes:
Treyarch had plenty of time to fix this mess. They had a full three years, two betas, and a well-informed community that was more than happy to provide meaningful feedback. And now here we are, clear hits are not recognized, shots vanish into thin air.
Despite this, he has a positive attitude towards Black Ops 4:
That’s why it’s particularly frustrating: Among all the bullshit that should have been fixed before release, there might be the best Call Of Duty of the last 10 years. Seeing so much potential ruined by an awful, inexcusable hit detection hurts.
Is the theater mode to blame? Among the many agreeing comments, there are also players who question the accuracy of the recordings. These were made using the theater mode. This is an in-game feature where you can watch replays of your past matches.
For example, GodMeyo writes:
This is not what people want to hear, but using the theater mode doesn’t really make much sense in this discussion. The tick rate at which it records is significantly lower.

If you don’t take good care of your four-legged friend in Red Dead Redemption 2, you could lose him forever.
Horses are an important part of the game in Red Dead Redemption 2. They not only help players get from point A to point B quickly, but players can also build a strong bond with them.
It is even worse when the animal suddenly meets its demise – as horses also experience “Perma Death” in RDR2.
Strong bonds have consequences: The developers want to add more depth to the player’s relationship with their horse by allowing the possibility that the animal can die.
Why is there Perma-Death? The developers describe the relationship with horses as follows:
“While you play the game, you take care of the horse and feed it. You calm it when it is scared and encourage it when it is exhausted. You give it a name and care for the animal. You can’t help but feel connected to it. It is your closest, most trusted companion, and you are almost always together.
To cement the strength of this bond, we had to make it vulnerable. Then you respect it and take care of it while playing, making it feel personal and real.”
Animals play a big role: Generally, not only horses but also the entire wildlife in Red Dead Redemption plays a significant role – and there are nearly 200 species.
Certain animals appear in different areas and have their own behaviors. For instance, if one eradicates all crocodiles in an area, they will not be found there for a while. Animals also react differently to the player, either evading or trying to overwhelm them as a pack.
This gives hope to horse lovers: We do not yet know exactly how the “final death” of a horse in Red Dead Redemption 2 will take place. There are supposed to be ways to treat even fatal wounds. Apparently, the loss of a horse is not something that will happen lightly.
What will you do if your horse dies in Red Dead Redemption 2? Start a new game or panic and restart the console hoping it wasn’t saved?
Rockstar Games and their parent company Take-Two Interactive are taking drastic action against the creators of cheats for GTA 5 Online. Several players, who are regarded as the alleged creators and distributors of the popular cheat “Infamous”, were visited by authorities.
What is “Infamous”? Infamous is a cheat software for GTA 5 Online. Players who purchased this cheat for about €35 gained access to a menu that allowed them to generate unlimited amounts of money, weapons, ammo, vehicles, and other items.
Players were also able to teleport at will or spontaneously explode other players using Infamous. Features that the creators of the cheat promoted in trailers:

What happened? In April 2018, threads appeared on Reddit and various mod forums stating that the menu of Infamous suddenly stopped working. Players were outraged because they had paid money for the cheat and the sellers had not issued a statement. The Discord server for Infamous was also gone. Nobody knew what was going on.
It turned out that Rockstar and Take-Two were taking action against the creators of the cheat and had the website and the associated server taken offline. When the cheat was patched again, Rockstar and Take-Two decided to take the matter to court.
In Australia, the companies obtained a court order to search the homes and cars of the suspects for evidence of cheating activity. All files associated with the Infamous software found and secured were then deleted.
What was the penalty? The creators of the cheat have been prohibited from producing new cheating software or releasing updates for existing cheats. Otherwise, they face imprisonment. The webpages through which Infamous was distributed remain offline.
Moreover, the accounts of the convicted individuals were frozen. This included PayPal accounts and accounts with cryptocurrency. In total, the Infamous creators managed to bring in nearly €180,000 from the sale of the cheat. They can now only withdraw the money for basic living expenses.
Companies’ Actions Against Cheaters Become More Drastic
Cases of lawsuits against cheaters are increasing: This is not the first time that Rockstar and Take-Two have taken legal action against manufacturers of mods and cheats and they are not the only ones. Epic Games, the developer of Fortnite, has also employed heavy fire multiple times to combat cheating software.
Just last week, two YouTubers, Golden Modz and Excentric, received a lawsuit from Epic. They promoted cheats for Fortnite on their YouTube channel and referred to them as “magic”. Even a 14-year-old has been targeted by Epic.
Clearly, the companies want to set an example regarding what happens when the creators of cheats for their games become too well-known.
However, one can earn a lot of money in GTA V Online without cheating:
In week 4 of Season 6, you need to shoot at targets at shooting ranges in Fortnite. We will show you where to find a shooting range or a target. This will complete the challenge “Score at least 3 points at different shooting ranges”.
Clean your shotguns, because in the fourth week of Season 6, the Fortnite team sends you to shooting ranges on the map. There you should shoot at multiple targets to complete the challenge for the Battle Pass.
Where are the shooting ranges and targets for week 4?
The shooting ranges are scattered across the map of Fortnite: Battle Royale. Choose which ones to visit first and maybe combine these with other challenges from this week, like the dance on a clock tower.
What is the goal? You should travel to different shooting ranges and shoot at the targets there. It doesn’t matter which weapon you use. You need to score at least 3 points at 5 different shooting ranges.
Where are the shooting ranges? You can find the shooting ranges at Wailing Woods, Risky Reels, Haunted Hills, near the Viking ship close to Fatal Fields, at Dusty Divot, and Paradise Palms.
At Waling Woods southeast of the maze.
East of the Viking Village, at the very edge
Northeast of Pleasant Park
West of Dusty Divot – next to the diner
West of Fatal Fields at the top of the round mountain
North of Paradise Palms – on the mountain found south of the corrupted area
These and other locations of the shooting ranges are shown by Twitter user TheSquatingdog on his overview map for week 4 in Season 6. We will embed them here for you.
More challenges await you: This is just one of the many new challenges from week 4 in Season 6. We created a guide for you that lists the other challenges and shows how you can solve them quickly and easily.
In week 4 of Season 6 of Fortnite: Battle Royale, you need to dance at various locations. Here you will find out where the clock tower, the top of the pink tree, and the giant porcelain throne are.
Dancing in unusual locations: In week 4 of Season 6 in Fortnite, there are finally some exciting challenges available. One of them starts harmlessly and requires you to dance on a clock tower.
Stage task without specification: What you don’t know – there is more to do. After the clock tower, you also need to dance on a “pink tree” and finally on a “giant porcelain throne”. Only then can you complete the challenge.
But where the hell is all of that?
Here you will find the clock tower, pink tree, and the porcelain throne
The locations where you need to dance are all high and easy to see if you know where to look. Ideally, you reach all locations at the beginning of the game. You just need to land on the top and perform any dance there.
Watch out for trolls! As always, there are extremely unpleasant people who don’t want you to have fun. When I, Jürgen, tested the challenge, my dance location was repeatedly destroyed by a troll with a pickaxe before I could land and dance there.
So make sure you land first.
Here you will find the clock tower
The clock tower should be known to any reasonably engaged Fortnite fan. It is located in Tilted Towers and is visible from afar. Land on the top and dance your heart out!
Here you will find the top of the pink tree
The pink tree is a giant cherry tree. It grows in the middle of Lucky Landing, far in the south of the map. Make sure you land there first and show off your dance moves at the top.
Here you will find the giant porcelain throne
The “porcelain throne” refers to a toilet. You will find it at the “Flush Factory” toilet factory. There is a gigantic sculpture of a toilet in the parking lot. Land there and dance on the toilet.
Don’t know which dance to choose? Here’s a selection:
