For October 2018, we have selected a few well-known and new online games for you. In October, fans of card games, shooters, and MOBA action have something to look forward to.
The following games are either trending or newly released in October 2018. We will start with the highly anticipated Call of Duty: Black Ops 4.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 – The new contender in Battle Royale!
On October 12, 2018, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 finally releases. Although the game no longer features a campaign, it offers even more multiplayer action. Along with the well-known PvP modes, it is primarily the eagerly awaited Battle Royale mode Blackout.
What is special about Black Ops 4?
Battle Royale as it should be: For many players, after the beta of Black Ops 4 it is clear: The game mode Blackout will be their new favorite Battle Royale mode! Many players now refuse to touch the thematically similar PUBG.
According to them, Blackout is simply faster, smoother, more action-packed, and better balanced.
What are the contents of Blackout? The mode Blackout plays like a normal Battle Royale mode at first. Up to 100 players jump over a large area and gather weapons and equipment. They fight until only one player or team is left.
Additionally, Blackout offers:
Perks that provide temporary advantages and are found as consumable items.
Well-balanced vehicles
Zombies that roam specific areas as PvE challenges
Why should you play Black Ops 4?
Black Ops 4 is perfect for fans of Battle Royale, who find PUBG too sluggish and clunky, but don’t want the building and colorful cartoon graphics of Fortnite.

OVERKILL’s The Walking Dead (PC – later: PS4, Xbox One) is longed for by Cortyn. The game combines everything a fresh co-op title needs.
Zombie games have become tiresome for many gamers by now. No wonder, in recent years we’ve been inundated with zombie apocalypses to the point that probably the entire world’s population has been used as shuffling corpses multiple times over. Nevertheless, there is one “zombie game” that has reignited my hype completely: OVERKILL’s The Walking Dead.
But what has fueled my hype?
A mix of Left 4 Dead and The Last of Us
So far, everything indicates that OVERKILL’s The Walking Dead will be the perfect mix of two games that I adored.
In Left 4 Dead (2), I spent countless hours racing with friends through the maps and slaughtering zombies. There was no better feeling than smashing zombies’ skulls with a katana (or in Ellis’s case: with a frying pan).
The second game was The Last of Us. A dense story, coupled with a dark atmosphere, stealth gameplay, and limited resources. Plus, complex characters with great interactions and many small details to discover.
The gameplay scenes shown so far are magnificent. There always seem to be multiple ways to deal with problems as a team. Do you massacre the zombies one by one and stealthily? Do you lure the zombies to hostile survivors? Or do you simply bypass them altogether?
I also really like the team options. Two enemies guard the exit of a building. You mark the two enemies so that your teammates are alerted, and then you sneak around them. Once both players are in position, they execute a stealth kill simultaneously to silently eliminate the nuisances. How that unfolds is shown in this mission from E3:

Even these small details please me so much that I already know there will be many funny situations.
Moreover, each character has unique abilities and thus takes on a specific role in the team. While one character is particularly adept at stealth and can take out enemies silently, another is especially good at treating wounds. The latter is bitterly necessary, as every now and then you will be surprised and overwhelmed by a zombie.
The only downside that I notice so far is that the hostile survivor NPCs behave rather foolishly in the shown scenes.
Sympathetic, relatable characters
Well, if we’re honest, the zombie scenario has been quite overdone in the last 10 years. There is probably no gamer who hasn’t somewhat followed some zombie franchise. Be it Left 4 Dead, The Walking Dead, DayZ, or one of the many other variations with the undead.
Nevertheless, I am grabbed by the hype and anticipation right away, as the characters are brilliantly portrayed. The four introductory trailers for the different characters clearly convey what kind of people they are, what values they stand for – and they are also incredibly relatable.
Normally, I have difficulty finding a character in shooters whose story I can relate to – but in Overkill’s The Walking Dead, I would love to play them all.
To give you a little preview, here is the story trailer for Heather – I will probably choose this character:

Of course, there is still the danger that it all might burst like a soap bubble and the game could be a terrible disappointment. So far, however, I see no signs for that, and the material shown so far from the game confidently indicates that OVERKILL’s The Walking Dead will once again bring my circle of friends together to slaughter zombies.
I can hardly wait for OTWD. Even better that the beta starts next week – on October 9, 2018. The actual release on PC is on November 6, PS4 and Xbox One follow in February 2019. Now I just have to get time off work…

The developer Hello Games continues to work on new content for No Man’s Sky. With the latest update, players can craft quick motorbikes. This brings planet exploration to a new level.
What is the Pilgrim? The “sturdy and agile” Pilgrim motorbike is the latest toy in patch 1.63.
Players have a wide range of options to customize their exo-vehicle. Ground handling and drifting can be adjusted using multi-level sliders to ensure the driving behavior perfectly matches the player’s preferences.
Why players see the horse in Skyrim while using the motorbike: The horse glitch in Skyrim has earned a legendary reputation in the gaming community. It allowed players to effortlessly scale the steepest mountains and walk on vertical walls with their horses.

Fans on Reddit have noticed a certain similarity between the glitch and the new Pilgrim vehicle.
How much the upgrades boost the new vehicle: Upgrading the new bike is worthwhile. The Pilgrim receives extremely strong boosts on all levels, allowing the bike to easily tear through trees and rocks while driving. It can even drive on very steep surfaces. Almost like the horses in Skyrim, just without the help of a glitch.
In fully upgraded condition, the Pilgrim surpasses the Nomad exo-vehicle in almost every aspect. The only downside is that it cannot drive on water.
You will be able to buy the blueprints for the Pilgrim at the blueprint analyzer. The upgrades for the bike are available from the Exo vehicle technician.
Patch 1.63 brings more color to the game
What’s new? With update 1.63, you can also give your vehicles a personal touch, thanks to the expanded cosmetic options. The new menu includes:
Color palettes
Stickers
Effects for the boost flames
The new cosmetic options, as well as the control options for drifting and ground handling, are also available for all other vehicles starting with patch 1.63. You can find the full patch notes on the official site.
You can see how the Pilgrim looks in action with and without upgrades in this video starting from 8:14 minutes:

Are you unsure whether No Man’s Sky is worth it now? Read Leya’s preview report on the big NEXT update:
The “Siege of Zuldazar” will be the next raid in World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth. New information slightly clarifies the confusing structure of the double raid in WoW: Now we know which bosses await the players.
All bosses are known: Due to updates on the PTR, it is now known which bosses you will encounter in the Siege of Zuldazar. A total of 12 encounters await you.
6 of them are, however, divided into three pairs that provide identical fights with different names for the factions.
Attention:The following announcement contains spoilers about the course of the new WoW raid and the bosses of the Siege of Zuldazar.
What Awaits You in the Siege of Zuldazar
Factions start differently: The structure of the raid is asymmetrical for the factions. According to the fan site Vanion, the Horde starts at the top of the jungle and fights down towards the harbor, while the Alliance gathers at the harbor and makes its way to the throne room.
Each faction fights through six boss encounters:
The Horde breaks through the sea blockade of the sea priests and Jaina Proudmoore.
The Alliance topples King Rastakhan and kills him.
The first six bosses are different for the factions. However, the first three of these fights only differ in name. The abilities and also the loot are identical:
Boses for Alliance and Horde
Grimfang and Firecaller (Alliance) / Flamefist and the Enlightened (Horde)
Grong the Returned (Alliance) / King Grong (Horde)
What loot is there? There is also new information regarding the possible loot in the Siege of Zuldazar. The following item levels drop in the various difficulty levels:
LFR: 370+
Normal: 385+
Heroic: 400+
Mythic: 415+
Thus, you already receive gear in the normal mode of the Siege of Zuldazar that is as strong as currently in the Mythic mode of Uldir. The higher item level is also expected to have an impact on the Azerite armors. Please note that these may not be the final values.
A new update makes Conan Exiles even bigger and brings new features. However, fans of animal companions will have to wait a bit longer.
New dungeon and hunger system: With the “Conan Exiles” update from October 4th, you have access to the new dungeon “Midnight Grove”. In addition, your slaves now have hunger and require food.
The new features: The “Midnight Grove” and hunger
The Midnight Grove: The new dungeon “Midnight Grove” is a large maze for higher-level players. The dungeon is designed for multiple players and you will face four bosses:
a giant panther
a gorilla
a bull with iron-tipped horns
and the champion of Jhebbal Sag
To access the dungeon, you must find and drink a “Potion of Midnight”. You will then be teleported directly to the dungeon. You can learn how to get the potion in our guide to the “Midnight Grove”.
These seals indicate that a boss is coming. Only the bull is located in its own arena.
This loot is available in Midnight Grove: At the bosses of the Midnight Grove, you will receive shadow flowers, which allow you to craft new food that strengthens your animal companions. They increase the chance that the animal becomes stronger. The animal companion system is, however, not yet implemented.
At the final boss of the dungeon, the champion of Jhebbal Sag, you will also find the “Meat of Memory” if you harvest it with a tool. If you consume the meat, you will learn the first step of the new religion of Jhebbal Sag and can build its shrine.
The meat decays quite quickly, so you should consume it immediately.
Hunger system for slaves: As part of the companion system, all companions should get hungry and require food to avoid starvation. This applies to the upcoming animal companions and to slaves.
You can feed slaves with anything edible. A well-fed slave should be able to go a week without food before they become hungry again. Whether they die immediately or just have less health points when hungry depends on the settings. If you give them their preferred food, they even receive buffs for combat.
So you don’t have to feed every slave individually, there is a “Servants’ Pot”. In this pot, you can place food to automatically supply the slaves. The food in the pot decays slower and is distributed evenly.
Via server options, which are disabled by default, you can set that slaves and companions need their specific food or don’t need to be fed at all. This way, you can make the system a bit more interesting.
An altar of Jhebbal Sag
Xbox coming later: Currently, the new patch is only playable on PC and PS4. For Xbox One, the update usually comes a few days later. You can find the full patch notes in English on Steam.
The data miner Chrales has found the shiny version of Ditto in the code of Pokémon GO. We show you how fans are reacting to Shiny Ditto.
Finally, Shiny Ditto has been found in the code! Some time ago, almost all shiny variants of the 1st generation were found in the game. Ditto was missing until now.
Now the data miner Chrales, who regularly searches the game code of Pokémon GO, found the shiny version of the Pokémon. Chrales also discovered the mysterious new Pokémon Meltan in the code.

What does the find mean for players? In the code of Pokémon GO, there is now Shiny Ditto. Visually, you can recognize it by its blue form. However, these have not yet been confirmed in the wild. It is unclear when they will be released. So far, nothing has changed for players.
This is what trainers are pondering: The shiny form of Ditto sparked lively discussions on Reddit. It is already being speculated how one can catch such a Ditto.
Oceanicshark writes on Reddit: “Oh my God! It will be so hard to catch a Shiny Ditto, haha.”
The Reddit user is not wrong. Catching the shiny form of a Pokémon has always been a challenge. The probability of it happening is very low.
Now, not only does this probability have to occur, but it also has to be a Ditto that you cannot recognize at first glance.
The Reddit user pokerealm says about this: “Shiny Ditto would be the best moment to introduce the shiny forms of Taubsi and Co.”
This is the “Shiny Taubsi” theory: Ditto hides in the forms of Taubsi, Flurmel, and other common Pokémon. It would therefore be a way to have these Pokémon also appear in their shiny form. If you catch a Shiny Taubsi that then transforms into Ditto, Ditto will also become shiny.
Much theory, little practice: The discussions about Shiny Ditto are loud. So far, however, they are just speculations.
The fact is that the shiny version is now in the code. In the game, however, it has not yet been found by trainers. It remains to be seen when Niantic will introduce this shiny form into the game.
This is what makes Shiny Ditto special: Until now, it has always been a gamble to catch Ditto. The special Pokémon takes on the form of other Pokémon. When you catch this, Ditto is revealed, and you receive it in your Pokémon box. Finally, Ditto had a special appearance during the Community Day with Endivie.
In 2018, the Halloween event “Festival of the Lost” will be celebrated in Destiny 2 for the first time. The festival will return on October 16. First details are expected next week. It is already known that players will have to solve a murder case.
On October 16, the “Festival of the Lost” will make its debut in Destiny 2. The event took a break in 2017 and will return this year as a celebration in honor of the fallen heroes. A complete unveiling of the event will happen next week.
Festival of the Lost Returns
When does the event start? The Festival of the Lost starts on Tuesday, October 16. How long the event will last is not yet known. Bungie has announced a reveal of the festival and its content for next week.
What is already known about the festival? Bungie has remained tight-lipped about the event so far. The Roadmap for Year 2 only states that the Festival of the Lost will return with a twist.
In the last TWaB, it was revealed that the event will be held this year as a celebration in honor of the fallen heroes. Additionally, there will be a costume party and a quest where a murder case must be solved.
What do the players wish for? In the Destiny subreddit, guardians are already speculating on what to expect from this year’s Halloween event. Top of the list are event items from Destiny 1, such as the “Ghost Ghost” or the “Broom Sparrow”.
Many players wish that the Eververse be completely kept out of the festival. The last Festival of the Lost in 2016 was criticized by the community as the “Festival of the Cost”. Many of the event’s items were hidden in loot boxes that had to be purchased with real money.
Are you excited about the return of the festival? What would you wish for the event?
Epic is declaring an event for the shooter Fortnite starting next week, aiming to specifically support YouTubers, streamers, cosplay artists, and others. Fans can do something good for them by spending money in Fortnite.
What is this event about? The event is called “Support a Creator.”
It begins with the update next week, so Tuesday or Wednesday, and lasts until December 31, 2018. Unlike previous Fortnite events like Showdown or Getaway, it is not a “gameplay” event, but one in the background.
How does it work? In the “Save the World” and “Battle Royale” shops, there will be a new button called “Support a Creator.” There, players can enter the Epic tag of a creator they want to support in the future.
The selection remains active for 14 days and can then be redistributed or extended.
When players purchase V-Bucks in the shop, the creator receives a share of the spending.
How much do the creators get? Players are supposed to receive $5 or the equivalent once 10,000 V-Bucks have accumulated. 10,000 V-Bucks are worth about $100 (a little less with bonus discounts).
The share for players is therefore roughly 5%.
Epic has already mentioned that the creators should expect “modest results” here. But at least the money comes from Epic – they deduct it from their share. Players incur no additional costs.
Who is a creator? A creator is anyone who has created “regular content” for Fortnite in the last 30 days – and they need at least 1,000 followers on a “major social platform.” This includes YouTubers, streamers, cosplayers, and other artists.
For players, it can be an incentive to purchase the next skin “in good conscience” and feel better knowing their favorite artist earns a little.
For Epic, it’s a way to support creators and strengthen their bond with Fortnite.
And for creators, it’s a chance to earn “extra” money – although most likely they have their own channels to collect donations. On Twitch, huge sums can be collected.
This is not new. This is an “affiliate” program that often operates behind the scenes. If someone buys something through an “affiliate” link, the one who referred it receives a small commission. The MMORPG Ashes of Creation uses this quite offensively to encourage YouTubers to draw attention to the game within their community.
Bless Online will soon celebrate its official release in the West and will then be Free2Play. We interviewed the developers at Neowiz for this occasion and addressed the German localization among other things.
On October 23, 2018, Bless Online will launch, and Neowiz wants to make some adjustments to the MMORPG by then. On one hand, Bless will switch to a Free2Play model, and it will also be fine-tuned for performance and certain contents.
German localization comes with the official release
Missing German localization: Neowiz promised a complete German localization for Bless, which was not present during Early Access. This also deterred some German players from even trying out Bless. We inquired about the German voiceover.
Mein-MMO: Are you planning to offer Bless in German as well, or are other things a priority?
Neowiz: Yes, the German localization for Bless will be completed by the official launch this month. We can hardly wait!
Bless will receive even more PvE content, but focusing on it is difficult
In Germany, players often desire a large proportion of PvE content that they can tackle without PvP. This raised the question for us whether it would make sense to place a stronger focus on PvE for Bless.
Recently, a new raid called Patala has been released for players at end level. Is there a change in direction?
Mein-MMO: There are many supporters of PvE in Germany. Have you considered shifting the game’s focus a bit more towards PvE?
Neowiz: Bless has a lot of content that makes it difficult to separate PvP and PvE, such as world bosses, the area Basel Gorge, and other content that combines PvE and PvP. Bless was designed with both aspects of the game in mind, so it would do a disservice to remove any part of it.
We understand, however, that not all players enjoy PvP as much or only want to participate once they have reached a certain level. For this reason, we have decided to provide items that allow players to avoid PvP while their characters level up and grow. Additionally, we will continue to add PvE content with our updates.
A second large part of the interview is coming: We asked the developers even more questions that deal heavily with the existing issues and criticism of Bless. The release of the second part will follow and will be linked here.
The fans of Overwatch have started a rather unusual petition on Reddit. They want the Game Director Jeff Kaplan to be immortalized in the game through a spray logo.
Who is Jeff Kaplan? The director of Overwatch and Vice President of Blizzard, Jeff Kaplan, is considered a beloved figure in the Overwatch community. He regularly appears in the videos of developer updates, where he presents and explains the latest balance changes and new content for Overwatch.
His dry humor and regular actions against toxic players and trolls have already led to many memes in the community. Now a fan has suggested that Jeff should be implemented in the game through a spray logo.
What should the spray logo look like? The collective thinking of the Overwatch subreddit, where the suggestion for the spray was made, quickly compiled a list of possible contents for an entire pack of spray logos:
Standard Jeff
Cute Jeff
Pixel Jeff
Bearded Jeff
Stoic Christmas Stream Jeff
Pachimari Jeff
“Wrestle with Jeff, prepare for death” – Jeff
Retro Jeff
The user Owlero also quickly created a draft of what such a logo could look like in the game.
How else could Jeff Kaplan be brought into Overwatch? The user Mainsubreddit_OW has also suggested implementing the phrase “This is Jeff from the Overwatch team” into the game. This phrase has since become the trademark of the Overwatch director, as almost every developer video begins with it.
The phrase should also be made available for all characters, with each of them speaking it in their own way and with their own accent, according to another suggestion.
Soon, the Halloween event will start in Overwatch, and some of the new skins are already known:
Since Friday night at 10 PM, the Psychic event in Pokémon GO is active. It brings more frequent spawns of Psychic Pokémon and also a new Pikachu with a hat.
New Field Research: Exclusively for the Psychic event, there are now three new field research tasks related to the Psychic type.
Pikachu with a Hat: Along with the field research, there is also a new Pikachu with a hat. This can also be caught in its shiny form.
Niantic announced in its announcement about the Psychic event that new field research tasks related to the Psychic spectacle will be added to the game. These three tasks are as follows:
No trainer likely expected this: In addition to the various Psychic Pokémon that are now appearing, there is also a new Pikachu. This one wears a hat with two lightning bolts. The Pikachu can also be encountered in its shiny form.
Only 48 hours: On Twitter, the YouTuber “PkmnMasterHolly” reports that this special Pikachu will only be available for 48 hours. Additionally, there will be no Pichu with this hat.

In Destiny 2 it is now possible to earn titles for your characters and proudly display them in-game for everyone to see. We explain how you can secure the Dredgen title from the Gambit mode.
With the Forsaken expansion, titles were introduced into the game. These are special text displays that appear in-game next to the player’s name and are visible to all other Guardians. The titles are meant to visually showcase extensive achievements and accomplishments that players have reached in specific areas of the game.
How to Obtain the Dredgen Title in Destiny 2
Grind is the keyword: Earning a title is associated with a lot of work and effort. It involves a wide range of tasks that must be successfully mastered. The Dredgen title is no exception.
What makes the Dredgen title special? This title is tied to Gambit and has only recently become unlockable. The requirements can mostly be viewed through the Gambit seal via the Triumphs tab in the game menu.
Here you can view the details for the Dredgen title
You need to unlock 11 different achievements, which in turn consist of several tasks. 2 of them are secret, one was only recently discovered.
Complete the entire badge “From Fun to Serious” in the collections. You need to collect all armor pieces and weapons as well as the emblem, shader, ghost shell, ship, and sparrow that are available through the Gambit playlist with one of the three Guardian classes.
Defeat an invader in Gambit 10 times while their super is active
Win a Gambit match with a Gambit weapon in every slot
Defeat 4 enemy Guardians as an invader in a single invasion 3 times
Defeat 40 enemies in a single Gambit match without dying 3 times
Defeat one high-value target of all enemy species
Win a Gambit match against all enemy species
Reset your infamy rank once in Gambit
Deposit 38 or more motes in a round – this 5 times
Here you can view the details of the badge “From Fun to Serious”
The Secret Tasks for the Title
The previous steps are all self-explanatory. However, the following two tasks will be displayed as secret until you complete them. They are, however, prerequisites for unlocking the title.
The second task is called “Protect the Runner”. A player must deposit 100 motes at the bank in a single Gambit match without losing a single mote. Moreover, this match must also be won – a task that can probably only be accomplished in a fixed and well-coordinated team.
Once all these triumphs have been unlocked, the Gambit seal can be activated in the menu. Then, you can equip the Dredgen title. This will then appear in your character menu and will be visible to all other Guardians in-game under the respective player name.
This is what the titles look like in-game – here The Chronicler
What is the significance of Dredgen? Dredgen refers to Dredgen Yor – a character in Destiny lore, whose story dates back to the Grimoire in Destiny 1 and is the original owner of the exotic hand cannon Thorn.
In the lore of Destiny 2, there is a connection between Dredgen Yor and the Drifter, the host and merchant of Gambit, which can be read in detail in the corresponding lore tab.
In The Division today, on October 6th, is the big vendor reset. We present to you the items from the vendors that are particularly worthwhile.
At the beginning of October, it is very calm again in The Division. The next global event will start in a few weeks, and the new shield is not here yet.
Nevertheless, a visit to Manhattan is worthwhile, because the new vendor reset from October 6th brings some interesting equipment for you, including a rare G36C. Here you have the best offers at a glance.
Recommended Weapons since October 6th
Special Equipment Vendor: Liberator with Predatory, Focused and Competent. These talents are particularly suitable for PvE activities. You can replace Focused based on your preference for Destructive, Malevolent or Resolute.
DZ Park Ave: MG5 with Destructive, Prepared and Competent. While the MG5 is mainly popular in PvP, with these talents the weapon is also useful in PvE. Replace Prepared with Precise, Predatory, Nimble or Careful.
Wolves Den: M4 Lightweight with Focused, Vengeful and Competent. Good talents for PvP, but instead of Focused you should take either Predatory or Deadly.
E 46th St: G36C with Vengeful, Deadly and Focused. Comes with good PvP talents. Replace Focused with talents like Competent or Predatory. A G36 with good talents is rare, so you should grab it here.
DZ 03: LVOA-C with Predatory, Resolute and Talented. These talents are useful, especially for builds that are based on electronics. Depending on the build, you can also take Competent instead of Predatory.
In Season 6 of Fortnite: Battle Royale, the ultimate skin at level 100 is the werewolf. According to many players, it is the coolest skin ever in Fortnite. But what can the wolf do and how do you get it?
The ultimate skin in Season 6: When you reach level 100 in the Season 6 Battle Pass in Fortnite, you unlock a special skin. This time in Season 6 it is a werewolf, simply called “Wolf” (in English “Dire”).
What can the wolf do? The special thing about the wolf is that it is a werewolf. It has six different skin options:
Level 1: The wolf is still completely human here. It wears a headband and a jacket and somewhat resembles Karate Kid.
Level 2: The transformation begins. The wolf is still roughly human but hairy and animalistic.
Level 3: The wolf is now a werewolf. It has the typical wolf muzzle, claws, wolf legs, and fur. Its fur is brownish in this form. Curiously, it now carries nunchaku on its belt.
Level 4: The appearance of the wolf is identical to level 3, but the colors are different. Its fur is now grayish.
Level 5: Here, the colors have changed again. The wolf is now wearing a more white fur.
Level 6: The final form of the wolf is especially noticeable for its black fur.
Wolf 1
Wolf 2
Wolf 3
Wolf 4
Wolf 5
Wolf 6
Players love the wolf
What players say: For many players, the wolf is a real eye-catcher for which one would gladly grind 100 levels in the Battle Pass. There are various reasons for this:
The wolf is a clear homage to iconic 80s movies, including Teen Wolf or Karate Kid.
Some players recognize the character Ryu from the game Street Fighter in the wolf.
Others believe that the wolf resembles the character Crash Bandicoot.
Many find that the wolf is much cooler than John Wick from Season 3. Wick also became a symbol for humorless tryhards at that time.
Moreover, the wolf just looks wonderfully ridiculous when it performs the many emotes that are currently in the game. But see for yourself:

Fun fact: The term werewolf has nothing to do with a pronoun. “Wer” simply means “man” in Germanic. Thus, a werewolf is a “man-wolf,” which aptly describes the creature.
How do you get the wolf and what else is there?
This is how you quickly get to level 100: To get the wolf, you first have to unlock all 100 levels in the Battle Pass. Thanks to the challenges every week, this goes quite fast. Additionally, if you regularly play Fortnite and especially win more often (this works especially well in the 50vs50 mode), you will gain even more XP and level up a few additional ranks.
https://youtu.be/HEVGGBkCo_Y
How do I unlock the variants for the wolf? To make the wolf really rock, you need the additional variants. These are available from the following XP totals:
Level 2: 30,000 XP
Level 3: 70,000 XP
Level 4: 120,000 XP
Level 5: 180,000 XP
Level 6: 250,000 XP
This impressive amount of XP is ideally earned through challenges and victories, as that way you always get plenty of XP.
What if I can’t make it by the end of Season 6? No worries, since Season 5 you no longer need to unlock all variants in one season. So you have as long as Fortnite exists to unlock the variants.
You can only earn the wolf itself in Season 6. So hurry up.
More bling for the wolf
What else is there? The wolf has a few other cool options up its sleeve:
If you unlock 5 options for the wolf, you get a back bling called “Wolfpack” katana.
If you unlock a total of 20 weekly challenges, you get a blue color option for the wolf’s outfit.
If you unlock a total of 40 weekly challenges, you get a yellow color option for the wolf’s outfit.
If you unlock a total of 60 weekly challenges, you get a gray color option for the wolf’s outfit.
What about a harvesting tool? It seems there is currently no dedicated pickaxe for the wolf.
This is the back bling for the wolf.
Is there more to come? As always, there should be a female version of the wolf available in the shop towards the end of Season 6. After all, in Seasons 4 and 5, we had the skins Oblivion and Valkyrie as female counterparts to Omega and Ragnarök.
What do you think of the wolf? Or does your heart beat more for its opponent, Cowgirl Calamity?

Bungie breaks with tradition: For the first time, there will be no additional difficulty level for a raid in Destiny. The Destiny 2 raid “Last Wish” will thus do without a Prestige mode.
In every raid that Bungie has released so far, there has been some form of an additional difficulty level. In Destiny 2, there has been the Prestige mode, which offered new modifiers for the Leviathan raid and the two raid encounters as well as new mechanics for the main raid.
The answer to this question may disappoint many. Because as Bungie announced in the latest “This Week at Bungie” blog, things will be different with the Forsaken expansion. There will be no Prestige mode for the raid “Last Wish”.
Conscious decision: This step was justified with a difficult but conscious decision in favor of a multifaceted endgame. With Forsaken, Bungie wanted to create an experience that offers more variations and rewards in the endgame for the Guardians. There should also be enough unique endgame activities outside the raid to earn worthwhile rewards.
When deciding on this approach, the focus was on developing a single version of the raid that has no tiers and is still very rewarding – the best rewards should be available to anyone who successfully fights through.
Last Wish is structured differently: You can also see this in the structure of “Last Wish”. The Forsaken raid starts with a recommended power level of 550. However, as the raid progresses, it scales much more than its predecessors.
Normally, raids stay at about the same level – only the final boss is significantly higher in terms of power level. However, “Last Wish” continuously scales from encounter to encounter and ends with a fight against Riven at power level 580.
Additional challenge in the Forsaken raid: However, Guardians will not have to go without an additional challenge. If the Forsaken raid in its current form does not provide a suitable challenge, players can try the 13th wish. This raises the bar in “Last Wish” to a whole different level even without new modifiers or boss mechanics.
What about the upcoming raid content? It is still unknown whether Bungie will maintain this design decision for the upcoming raid encounters. However, as the studio announced, more information about the new encounter should be available soon. This is set to be introduced in December 2018 for owners of the Annual Pass with the Annual Pass content “Black Armory” coming to the game.
Monster Hunter World will receive its second major update on October 4th. The Autumn Harvest Festival will be released along with new armors and a bunch of event quests.
What is the Autumn Harvest Festival? The Autumn Harvest Festival is a seasonal event in Monster Hunter World, where hunters will have plenty to do. All past event quests will be available as well as new ones specifically for the festival.
The festival is themed around Halloween. You will receive a ghost armor for your Palico and a pumpkin-carved armor for your hunter.
When is the autumn event? The festival starts on October 4th at 00:00 and ends on October 18th at 23:59. The update will be released overnight from Wednesday to Thursday.
The update is free.

There are ongoing discussions about the Azerite armor in World of Warcraft. Blizzard has now released plans on how the system will be improved.
Azerite armor should be easier to obtain: Community Manager Lore has outlined in the official WoW forums some changes to the Azerite system that are yet to come:
It should be easier to obtain better armor pieces
and the armor will generally be strengthened
The Azerite system is constantly being improved
The problem: One of the biggest problems with the Azerite system has been that Azerite armors are much harder to obtain at item level 370 than between levels 325 and 340. Blizzard has taken that feedback from the community.
Here’s how it is now: Currently, through Emissary quests, Azerite pieces with a maximum item level of 340 can be obtained, as the pieces cannot be warforged.
What will change: In the future, this limit is supposed to increase to up to 370 depending on the equipped item level. That’s at least the provisional solution.
The developers decided on Emissary quests as a new source, as this content is accessible to every player, not just those who play PvE or PvP content intensively.
More and better traits: The armors themselves should also become stronger. In the “BfA Season 2,” as the developers call it, Azerite pieces will receive a fifth ring in the outer segment.
The traits themselves will also be revised. So that not the “easiest” traits remain the strongest, some of them will be adjusted, and new ones will be introduced. This should give all classes more opportunities to specialize.
Everything will be even stronger: After some criticism, Lore published a supplement to the new system. Along with the Siege of Zuldazar, all equipment obtained from all content should become stronger.
New Azerite items, such as those from Mythic+ dungeons, will already have 5 rings. However, old armor will not be retroactively strengthened.
As the average item level increases, the limit of item level 370 for Azerite armor from Emissary quests will also be raised. The obtained item level continues to scale with your character’s.
When will the changes come? The strengthened armor will only appear with the new raid Siege of Zuldazar in Patch 8.1.
Some of the other changes, such as the better Azerite pieces from Emissary quests, are “of higher priority” and will probably come soon.
One of the most important features on players’ wishlists PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) has long been a region lock. But that is now causing problems, since it is here.
Anyone who has followed the PUBG scene a bit in recent months will have seen this one big wish from the community. Players wanted a region lock so that Chinese players could only play on servers in their region.
For a long time, the PUBG team was against such a feature. Now it is active and the community is noticing that it doesn’t work.
“Regional exclusion is the dumbest thing!”
What happened? The cries for regional matchmaking grew louder as many players from China came to servers in other regions.
They called for “Region Lock”: For the community, it was clear how to solve the cheating problem. With their demand for a region lock, they insisted that Chinese players could only play on servers in their region. No longer in NA or EU.
PUBG gives in: Originally, the PUBG team was against such a measure. Brendan Greene, known as PlayerUnknown, said “it just doesn’t work.”
Now they listened to the community’s wish, which had clearly expressed the demand for a region lock under the Steam posts of PUBG for months.
Okay, a kind of region lock is here: Since the latest PUBG update, players are supposed to be directed to servers in their region to play. Exceptions only exist if playing with a friend from another region. At least that was the plan.
Now players are angry: In the Steam forums, many PUBG players are now complaining about the region lock after the update:
There will probably be problems with ping.
Others are writing that they are now having trouble finding matches.
Again, others explain that they are now playing more often with cheaters.
One particular post stands out with the title “Regional exclusion is the dumbest thing yet” (via Steam forums).
