Fortnite: Battle Royale has brought an exclusive series of challenges with the new Skull Trooper skin. They were quite tricky. Therefore, Epic has now turned the tasks into the complete opposite.
As a special bonus, all buyers of the skin received a special challenge series, through which they could earn experience points, battle pass stars, and their own back bling “Ghost Portal”.
Skull Trooper Challenges were too hard
What were the special tasks for the Skull Trooper? The challenges for the new skin were pretty tricky. Among other things, you had to open 10 chests in one round and deal 1,000 points of damage in a single match.
Incredibly difficult challenge: The last task is especially difficult, as you need around 10 kills for it. Depending on how many hitpoints and shields your opponents have. This can only be achieved by really skilled players and those with a lot of luck.
Epic nerfs the challenge, now it’s a piece of cake: Epic has reacted to the criticism from some players and has completely turned the task into the opposite.
In a Reddit post, a developer from Epic explained that now you only need to play 20 matches during the weekend of October 12th to 14th, 2018. The matches only need to be played, not won. You just must not quit the game.
Back bling arrives automatically next week: If you can’t complete these 20 matches over the weekend, you will simply receive the back bling with the Ghost Portal during the next week. However, you still need to buy the Skull Trooper from the shop first.
A YouTuber has found a way to score corners directly into the goal in FIFA 19. This is how you can execute the ultimate corner kick.
The perfect corner kick: Corner kicks offer you a good opportunity to take the lead relatively easily through a set piece. Especially in the early days of the FIFA 19 season, converting sharply taken corners into goals by trick shots worked surprisingly well. But there is an even better way.
Direct Corner in the Tutorial
The YouTuber ZAN OMG has found a method to reliably score goals directly from corner kicks: Instead of passing to a teammate first, ZAN OMG simply shoots the ball from the corner flag into the angle. You can see how successful he is in the corner tutorial:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1gUp9X12Mo
This is how the direct corner goal works: To get the ball from the set piece directly into the goal, you need to keep a few points in mind.
Use players with high “Curve” values: You need to give the ball a lot of spin so that it goes into the angle and not somewhere in the box. Therefore, use technically skilled players like James Rodriguez, who is one of the best Bundesliga players in FIFA 19.
Celebrate the corner goal: If you did everything right, the ball should fly directly into the top corner and your opponent has no chance to prevent the goal. Now you can celebrate your dream goal extensively – unless, you prefer to skip the goal celebrations and replays like some players.
But keep in mind: This technique requires some practice and does not come naturally right away. It’s quite possible that your opponent’s goalkeeper will catch the first attempts directly out of the air. This also applies to perfect free kicks. You can find even more tricks to surprise your opponents here:
The planned changes to Pokémon’s stats could take away an important place for Pokémon GO from Heiteira.
In the coming weeks, Niantic intends to release Generation 4 in Pokémon GO. But before that, they are tweaking the balance of Pokémon. Those with many hit points will soon have fewer. Therefore, trainers are now worried about their beloved Heiteira.
What will change? The developers have already explained which stats they will adjust for the rebalance. And it sounds like the best gym defenders will be affected.
For the changes to Pokémon’s stats in battles, Niantic is adjusting the CP and HP values. Additionally, defense and stamina values will be rebalanced. Especially the latter two values are interesting for trainers who regularly take over gyms.
The defense and stamina values of Pokémon will be rebalanced. This will allow Pokémon with high defense values to be used more effectively in battle to outlast the opponent, rather than just running out of time.
Many Pokémon GO players immediately think of one Pokémon: Heiteira!
Why is there now fear for Heiteira?
Heiteira is the evolution of Chansey and at first glance does not look like a strong gym defender.
The pink Pokémon radiates joy and has a look that says “Everything will be alright”. No trainer expects this Pokémon to be a strong attacker. And that’s not the case. Heiteira has extremely high stamina and hit points instead.
This makes Heiteira a strong defender: With its high hit points, Heiteira is popular as a gym defender. In battles, it only retaliates weakly, as its attack is not worth mentioning. However, this makes it difficult for trainers to defeat Heiteira before the time runs out.
This currently makes Heiteira the best gym defender in Pokémon GO.
This annoys trainers about Heiteira: To defeat this defender, strong counter Pokémon and a lot of time are needed. No trainer wants to tap on their screen for 10 minutes just to slowly bring the Pokémon’s HP down to 0 (via DiceMonkey).
If the defending trainers also feed the Pokémon with golden razz berries to restore its stats, the spectacle becomes even more annoying and prolonged. This frustrates the attackers.
Among fans, the announced change to the battle stats is received with mixed feelings. One side is extremely happy that Heiteira might soon lose its position as an annoying defender.
“The best thing about the meta change in Pokémon GO is the tears of those who relied so heavily on Heiteira as a gym defender.”
Unhappy trainers: Others have more mixed feelings. Just when they finally get a Heiteira that is currently so strong, the nerfs are already on the way.

The future of Heiteira is still uncertain: It remains to be seen how exactly the balance changes in Pokémon GO will look. Niantic plans to implement these changes before activating Generation 4. That should be soon, as Generation 4 is already in the latest update of Pokémon GO.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 aims to join the genre with its new battle royale mode. But how does this new competitor differ from the two giants PUBG and Fortnite?
Three battle royale games compete for the top spot: The year 2018 has so far been dominated by two major battle royale games. PUBG and Fortnite attracted millions of players to their screens and became a huge hit thanks to influencers like Dr. Disrespect and Ninja on stream.
On October 12, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 will also want a piece of the pie with its new blackout mode. But which battle royale game offers what? How do they differ and which game is best suited for which player?
Fortnite – Silly but Challenging
What is Fortnite? Fortnite: Battle Royale is a colorful battle royale game by Epic Games. It originated as an experiment in September 2017 since Fortnite was initially a pure PvE title.
Since Fortnite initially resembled PUBG, there was a now-resolved lawsuit with PUBG developer Bluehole, which fueled Fortnite’s popularity. Over the next few months, Fortnite gained immense popularity and now has millions of players.
What makes Fortnite special? The main highlight of Fortnite is the building system. As in the PvE mode, where you build fortifications against zombies, you can smash and rebuild almost the entire game world in Battle Royale.
A crucial tactic in the game is to find shelter immediately in a small, self-built fortress while using ramps and towers to gain a strategic position. Additionally, you can install traps in the fortresses or use trampolines for quick repositioning.
How does the item system work? Fortnite has a minimal inventory of 5 slots. There are no backpacks or bags to expand your storage. So, you need to think carefully about what to bring. You can choose from various firearms in different, color-coded rarity tiers. There are no mods for the guns.
In addition to weapons, you’ll find healing items, shields, and items that instantly create a powerful fortress, grenades that make opponents dance, or an item that teleports you into the sky.
Gameplay and Maps
How do the fights play out? Fortnite plays out quickly and dynamically. There are many weapons that promote mobile gameplay. The self-built fortresses slow down the gameplay a bit, but there are enough items that allow you to either blow up or bypass fortresses.
How many maps are there? Fortnite has been using the same map for a year. However, it changes constantly, often from week to week. The most significant changes occur whenever a new season begins.
The theme of the seasons determines how the map changes. So far, there have been knights, superheroes, and Halloween horror themes, leading to comets striking, cities being destroyed and rebuilt.
Are there alternative game modes? Fortnite regularly offers new game modes that are mostly time-limited, including 50vs50, a training mode, a heist mode, or game modes where you only have sniper rifles or only explosive weapons. Once, there was even a mode that transformed you into Thanos from the film Infinity War. Or a disco mode! So, there is always variety and new modes to discover.
What does Fortnite cost? Fortnite: Battle Royale is free to play. It finances itself through microtransactions. You can purchase cosmetic items and the current battle pass in the shop for real money.
Skins do not give you gameplay advantages. The battle pass, on the other hand, is a progress system where you gradually unlock additional rewards like skins and outfits.
Who should play Fortnite?
Who is Fortnite ideal for? Those who do not want to engage in building will likely not have much fun in Fortnite. The game is therefore optimal for players who enjoyed games like Minecraft and are quickly able to build massive towers from scratch.
Additionally, there is fast gameplay and a silly, colorful graphic style. If that doesn’t bother you, feel free to dive in.
Settings are an important aspect in almost every narrative genre, and it is no different for MMOs. For many players, the setting is one of the decisive features of a game. We want to know which settings appeal to you the most?
Prefer to keep it realistic: Most multiplayer shooters often stay in a modern and realistic setting. Exemplary examples are shooters like PUBG or the “CoD: Modern Warfare” series.
Many players prefer this setting because they can better immerse themselves and identify with it. The genre often also splits into modern and historical games.
Sci-Fi ahead: Future fantasies have been with people since ancient times. There is definitely something cool about zooming from one planet to another in your own spaceship and shooting evil aliens with a laser.
In Sci-Fi settings, technology plays a major role. However, mystical elements are often mixed in, such as the Force in Star Wars or the Light in Destiny.
Fantasy is not always just fantasy: One of the most widespread and simultaneously versatile settings. In addition to the “classic” Tolkien fantasy setting, there are many branches, as developers try to incorporate their own creative ideas into the genre. For example, World of Warcraft differs fundamentally from The Lord of the Rings Online.
Different developers from different countries always have their own vision of fantasy. The fantasy games of Asian developers often differ drastically from those of Western developers. Accordingly, player preferences often differ.
Irie says: I am a hardcore fantasy fan in almost all aspects of the genre. But it also plays an important role for me how interesting a setting is presented by the game.
In Destiny, for example, the whole Sci-Fi-space-magic story about the Traveler immediately hooked me. It was exciting and mysterious. I don’t care for realistic settings at all.
But now it’s your turn: Which setting appeals to you the most? Or do you have no preferences? Tell us!

Fortnite: Battle Royale has announced a new vehicle. The “Quad Crasher” is a type of mini bulldozer that is said to be particularly effective against buildings. Is Epic planning to further nerf building?
What is a Quad Crasher? The Quad Crasher (in English “Quad Crasher”) was recently announced in the game news and is a new vehicle. The vehicle looks like an all-terrain cart with a bulldozer shovel.
When will the Quad Crasher come? The new vehicle could possibly arrive in the game as early as next week with the expected upcoming patch 6.3. Epic usually introduces announced items in the next update if everything goes smoothly.
If the Crasher does not replace an existing vehicle, there should then be three different vehicle types in the game together with the Golf Cart and the Shopping Cart.
What can the Quad Crasher do? According to the description, you can charge a boost. This enables height jumps, but buildings can also be explicitly breached. It seems that the Crasher can be used offensively and will thunder through fortifications like a wrecking ball.
Does the Quad Crasher make building unnecessary?
How will the meta shift? Recently, Epic introduced the Quad Launcher, a quad rocket launcher into the game. It can fire multiple projectiles in succession, turning fortifications into wood scraps in no time. Many players complain about this and see building in Fortnite in danger.
First Quad Launcher, now Quad Crasher: The similarly named Quad Crasher strikes the same chord. It is yet another item explicitly designed to destroy buildings. This means builders in Fortnite may have an even harder time soon.
Does Epic hate building? Probably not, but the many anti-building items likely serve a purpose. Epic apparently wants to change the meta, meaning the overall gameplay strategy. Players should be less entrenched and play more dynamically.
Fortnite seems to focus more on casual play: This could also flatten the skill curve. Normally, building quickly reveals who is a pro and who is a noob. Casual players usually master building less well than veterans, who can construct a massive fortress in seconds.
If Epic should make building less strong, less engaged players will have more success and be happier. This way, Epic achieves a larger number of satisfied players.
It’s not the end: However, the Crasher is likely to become a rather rare item. It is still likely worth building a fortress. It just may not be as safe as before.
The reason why Warfronts in World of Warcraft are not accessible to raid groups is a trivial one, which the Game Director has now revealed.
Warfronts in World of Warcraft are a game content for 20 players. However, even though that corresponds to a raid, players cannot sign up as a raid for it. A maximum of 5 players can sign up in a group, entire raid groups must stay out.
The reason for this has been answered by Ion Hazzikostas, the Game Director of WoW, in a Developer Q&A.
The balance is meant for random groups: Warfronts were designed from the beginning for “Pick up Groups,” meaning random groups that get to know each other only by signing up for the battle.
For proper, coordinated groups, the whole thing is simply not designed. According to Hazzikostas, the Warfront would be boring because a coordinated raid team would rush through the Warfront faster than the map design can keep up.
This would cause damage dealers to wait at the city gates, having taken everything, while the rest is still farming resources for the siege weapons. This would lead to long waiting times and simply not provide an enjoyable gaming experience.
Heroic Warfronts are an option: However, Hazzikostas does not want to rule out that one can never sign up as a raid for the Warfront. The developers are currently discussing the topic, and perhaps there will eventually be heroic Warfronts that require more coordination or a full raid group. However, this is not planned yet.
Would you wish that Warfronts are accessible for entire raid groups? Or is it good that you can only sign up with small groups?
The October update makes Xbox cuddly: In addition to streaming in Dolby Vision, the revamped avatars are coming to the consoles. However, these colorful figures do not just have fans, as especially male players find the avatars too androgynous.
Microsoft has released a new Xbox update of around 698 MB that is currently being distributed. The October update brings not only Alexa skills, streaming in Dolby Vision, and new languages for the Narrator but also the revamped avatars, which, however, do not only have fans. Particularly male players feel underrepresented.
What the October update brings
New avatars: The new avatars from the October update are meant to represent various body shapes more accurately for gamers. The figures can be in wheelchairs, and amputations can also be displayed.
Additionally, the avatars are intended to reflect various moods, life circumstances, or the hobbies of the players. Further outfits and accessories for the colorful figures can be purchased in the Avatar Store. New content is to be added monthly.
The new avatars can be accessed in one’s own profile. If players do not warm up to the new figures, they can either stick with their old avatar from the Xbox 360 era or completely ignore the characters.
Skills for Cortana and Alexa: In the USA, it is now possible to operate your Xbox with the help of voice assistants Cortana and Amazon’s Alexa. It can be assumed that the skills will also be applicable here in the near future.
Streaming in Dolby Vision: Owners of an Xbox One S or Xbox One X can stream content in Dolby Vision after the update. Netflix with a premium subscription will be supported at launch, but more compatible apps are expected to follow.
Narrator with additional languages: The languages Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, Swedish, and Dutch have been added to the Narrator. There is also an Australian version of English.
Players seem dissatisfied
What do players think about the update? On Reddit, players are mainly discussing the avatars, which have reportedly been released despite criticism from Xbox testers. Male players seem particularly unhappy with the colorful figures: They allegedly find the available avatars far too young and too feminine.
A post on Reddit that was supposed to thank Microsoft for representing a woman in a wheelchair has been taken over by players who are complaining about the young “hipster” avatars.
Rather than showcasing a variety of different body shapes and types of gamers, the avatars seem to look more like children or young adults. A 51-year-old player complains that there are no aging options and that his avatar looks more like he did at 21.

With the new expansion Forsaken, Bungie has finally brought back Random Rolls to Destiny 2. We take a look at the best scout rifles that Forsaken has to offer and which perks you can use to dominate in all game modes.
Where the loot system was considered static and boring before Forsaken, life has returned to the loot table. Many new weapons now come with randomly rolled perks that can drastically change the behavior of the guns.
Which weapons and perks are the best? Redditor Pandapaxxy has provided a comprehensive guide that describes the best weapons in Forsaken based on their base stats and their optimal perks. When selecting weapons and perks, there is a distinction between PvE and PvP modes.
Missing weapon XY? Then it either lost the comparison against a representative on this list or existed before Forsaken with static rolls. However, this is not a problem; play with the weapons that suit you and are fun.
Massive nerf with Forsaken: Scout rifles currently have a tough time against computer-controlled aliens. With Forsaken, Bungie has simply weakened this weapon class by 30% – likely also because Guardians should be playing with the new bows.
However, in October we can expect an update for scout rifles, which will grant the guns a damage buff of at least 15%. Thus, the long-range weapons should become a popular choice in PvE content again. Depending on the weapon type, scout rifles deal massive damage, can throw opponents off balance, and inflict area damage.
You should definitely keep an eye out for the following scout rifles:
Oops, unfortunately this table is no longer available.
Oops, unfortunately this table is no longer available.
Black Scorpion-4sr with Veist Rapid Fire
How to get the Black Scorpion-4sr: The Black Scorpion-4sr can be obtained from the weaponsmith as a reward for reputation ranks. The weapon fires quickly, hence a bullet deals less damage than other representatives of this category.
The Veist scout rifles always come with Fully Automatic as an intrinsic perk. Consequently, you only need to focus on stability and damage-increasing perks.
These are the best perks for PvE mode: In the fight against alien creatures, you can get triple the output from your magazine. The barrel and the magazine increase the weapon’s stability, allowing you to hit more precisely. With Rampage and Dragonfly, you also increase your damage output.
These are the best perks for the Crucible: In the fight against other Guardians, stability is paramount. Moving Target and Zen Moment help you hit precise shots. With the Outlaw perk, you can immediately jump back into the fray after a precise kill.
For the optimal TTK (time to kill) of 0.93 seconds, you need to land four critical hits and one body shot.
Soccer player Mesut Özil is now a Twitch streamer. His game of choice is Fortnite. He is quite a solid player and you can hear how it is talked about among professional footballers: It’s a jumble of languages.
Is this a PR stunt? Yesterday the news came that football star Mesut Özil is launching a Twitch stream. The first suspicion was clear: this is purely a PR stunt.
But when you watched the stream, you heard a completely normal gamer who is with his friends playing Fortnite.
This is how the stream was: Last night Özil (M10_88) was in Fortnite as a squad with teammate Sead Kolasinac (SeoKol31) and two others.
The stream lasted about 2 hours. At its peak, over 30,000 viewers were watching. However, the team couldn’t win any of the 15 matches.
How good is Mesut Özil? As a Fortnite player, he is quite solid. On Fortnite Tracker, you can see that he primarily plays on PlayStation 4. He has completed nearly 5000 matches and won 608 of them – a K/D of 1.91 ranks him at 974,353. This makes him better than 93% of other Fortnite players.
Most of the time, Özil plays in a team; he has completed 4750 games there.
In the stream yesterday, it was evident that he plays well. He can build, collects kills, and is solid overall, although not flawless.
Babylonian Language Confusion
What is it like when he streams? It’s like with other groups of friends, but more international. Özil speaks a mix of German and English – a bit of Turkish and Spanish is also in there. He frequently uses gaming and slang terms.
At one point, he says: “Very, very good, Diego. Muy bien. Me gusta mucho.” Then Özil laughs. “I don’t know which language to speak. German, Turkish, English, Spanish, Arabic. Sead come on, I gave you the sniper. Sniper God. Yalla.”

Fortnite and football – does it match? Fortnite is incredibly popular among footballers – especially in England. Half of the Premier League and the English national team is said to be crazy about it. Özil currently plays for Arsenal London.
It’s rumored that German players got in trouble during the World Cup because they played too much PlayStation 4 at night. Allegedly, the DFB turned off the internet in the team hotel for them at least one night. After the stream, one can easily imagine that Özil was among the players who were said to have done this.
However, Fortnite was probably not responsible for the poor performance of the German team. The French footballers are also crazy about the game and they became world champions:
For a few hours, a new event has been running in Pokémon GO. For 24 hours, players have the opportunity to catch female Pokémon more frequently.
How long does the event last? The event runs until today, October 12, at 10 PM.
What bonuses are available? Female Pokémon appear more frequently in the wild. Additionally, trainers have the chance to encounter the female, shiny Nidoran family.
Shiny family: The biggest highlight of the short event is likely the new shinies. This is the first time female Nidoran, Nidorina, and Nidoqueen are available in their shiny forms in the game.
Which Pokémon belong to the event? The focus is mainly on their female forms, which appear more frequently.
Luvdisc (also available in shiny form)
Snubbull (also available in shiny form)
Pikachu (also available in shiny form)
Clefairy
Jigglypuff
Woingenau
Female Nidoran, Nidorina & Nidoqueen (also available in shiny form)
You can even find shiny Nidoqueen in the wild
No additional bonuses: Besides the increased spawns, there are no additional bonuses, such as new raid bosses.
Why this event focusing on female Pokémon? On October 11, it’s International Day of the Girl. Niantic likely wants to raise awareness with this event.
Some trainers express dissatisfaction
Wrong timing: For many players, this event has been activated at the wrong time. Currently, the Psychic event is still ongoing. Another event at this moment seems too much for many trainers.
As user Crabominibble writes on Reddit: “So they just throw an event into an event.”
With the upcoming Patch 8.1, unlocking allied races in World of Warcraft will be easier. We will reveal what is changing.
The unlocking of allied races is still a pain point for many players of World of Warcraft. Especially the “old” races, namely Lightforged Draenei, Highmountain Tauren, Nightborne, and Void Elves require extensive farming. In the developer Q&A, the Game Director of WoW has shared plans on how this should change.
What bothers the players? Unlocking many allied races requires reputation with old factions. To earn this reputation, outdated quests must be completed, which provide no benefit other than the reputation. Since the quests are trivial, they are also not enjoyable. Outdated content must be farmed for several weeks.
What will change? With Patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance, Blizzard will grant bonus reputation with the factions necessary for the allied races. Currently, it is planned that quests of the respective faction (such as Highmountain and Army of the Light) will grant double reputation. This would drastically reduce the required farm time for unlocking the allied races.
The War Campaign also gets a boost: A similar bonus is planned for the War Campaign. Since it will be expanded with Patch 8.1, players should be able to progress faster through the old quests if they are latecomers. For this reason, the individual chapters of the War Campaign will be filled with bonus reputation, allowing players to almost seamlessly accept the next quest.
This significantly increases reputation gain with the 7th Legion (Alliance) and the Oathbound (Horde). This will also unlock Dark Iron Dwarves and Mag’har faster.
It will soon become easier and cheaper for new players to fully dive into Destiny 2. Forsaken will include what many fans wanted at launch: the Year 1 DLCs
As Bungie announced in the current “This Week at Bungie” blog, starting on October 16, 2018, purchasing Destiny 2: Forsaken will also include both expansions of the base game – namely DLC I Curse of Osiris and DLC II Warmind.
Every owner of Destiny 2 thus only needs the Forsaken upgrade to fully enjoy the game.
How fans wished Forsaken would launch
What is the problem? At the release of Forsaken, it was different. Anyone who only owned the base game had to purchase both Year 1 DLCs, as they are required to play the Forsaken expansion. However, the standard edition of Forsaken did not include these DLCs.
These were available either as a bundle in the expansion pass for Destiny 2 or in one of the special Forsaken complete packages – the Destiny 2: Forsaken Legendary or Complete Edition. Therefore, players had to dig deeper into their pockets if they wanted to jump into Forsaken while only owning the base game or just one of the Year 1 DLCs.
The same applied to the later promotion with PS Plus in September. The base version of Destiny 2 was free for all subscribers of Sony’s PS Plus in September. Even for these players, the standard Forsaken version was not enough.
They either had to purchase the Year 1 expansion pass along with the Forsaken expansion or resort to one of the more expensive complete packages, effectively bundling the otherwise free base game.
This is what many wished for at release: Criticism arose from fans as soon as Forsaken launched, stating that the Year 1 DLCs were not included in the base version of the expansion, yet were required.
Accusations surfaced that Bungie was trying to capitalize on Forsaken once again. Many who returned or were newcomers interested only in Forsaken had to purchase the Year 1 content as well. This option is what numerous players wished for at the launch of the autumn expansion, as also clearly seen in earlier discussions on MeinMMO.
Bungie tries to appease: The studio probably anticipates that this step could lead to discontent among fans. It’s clear that especially buyers of the Legendary or Complete Edition of Forsaken could now be frustrated. After all, they paid for content that will soon be free.
Therefore, every Guardian who played Forsaken before October 16, 2018, will receive the following item package:
The shader and the veteran emblem will be received by the Guardians at the beginning of December. The two exotic emotes will be available at an unknown time in the Eververse.
By the way: The Festival of the Lost in Destiny 2 will also start on October 16.

In Pokémon GO a lot is happening right now: On the Pokémon YouTube channel, a second video about Meltan has been released. It shows the Pokémon in reality.
What does the video show? The video shows a girl taking notes about Meltan’s behavior.
What is Meltan? Meltan is a new Pokémon that has now been discovered in the Pokémon world for the first time. A few days ago, Pokémon released a video about the mysterious Pokémon.
What behavior does Meltan exhibit?
Meltan’s body: The girl discovered that Meltan’s body seems to be made of liquid metal.
It absorbs metal: Furthermore, in the video, you can see that Meltan absorbs metal.
It seems that Meltan likes to appear in groups. They seem very playful and simple-minded.
Surprise at the end
At the end of the video, many Meltan are gathered in a room. With a sound and a white light, this group disappears and all that remains is a large shadow. It has, like Meltan, the outlines of a bolt nut.
The mysterious shadow at the end of the video.
Possible evolution? One might assume that Meltan can evolve or that several Meltan can form a larger form. However, this is just speculation. It is said, “They seem to harbor a secret.” What this secret is, the trainers will probably learn in the coming weeks or months.
Another video has also been released by Pokémon. In that video, among other things, special research for Meltan is discussed.
What do you think of Meltan and what do you say about the video?

Just before the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, Treyarch released a map that is likely to be of particular interest to fans of the Battle Royale mode Blackout. The map shows where most of the battles take place. This can help you find the hottest landing spots.
Are you interested in the Battle Royale mode Blackout of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and can hardly wait to jump into the fight? Then you should take a closer look at the following map. Because it shows you the most dangerous places in Blackout.
What does the map show? In the style of an infrared image, which highlights the hottest zones in more intense colors, the heat map released by the developers indicates at which locations on the huge Blackout map things get hottest.
The stronger the spots, the more intense the battles occur at those locations.
So if you’re looking for a quick start, you should land at one of the “hot spots.” If you prefer a more leisurely approach, you should avoid these areas.
Make use of the heat map: This way, you can avoid hot spots after jumping if you play defensively and patiently, or you can directly pick out the biggest danger zones if you are looking for immediate action.
The map provides a good indication of where you are most likely to run into enemy players.
Fighting occurs almost everywhere: It is noticeable how evenly the focus of battles is distributed among various locations such as Nuketown and its immediate surroundings. There are no clear favorites that overshadow the other locations. This speaks for a balanced design of the map. Only some natural areas are used less intensively for fighting.
In Fortnite: Battle Royale there is again a bonus star in week 3 of Season 6. This time it is hidden in Wailing Woods. We will show you the location of the star.
Once again, EPIC Games has hidden a small hint for the players of Fortnite: Battle Royale regarding a star for the new Season 6. In week 3, players are again looking for a secret star.
Requirement for the star: You must first complete all challenges from week 3 in order to discover the star in the game. The tasks from week 3 in Season 6 of Fortnite can be found here.
Throughout the season, more images will await you, where the developers will hide small tips. This way, you will also find secret stars or banners in the coming weeks.
Here is the location of the star from week 3
Here you should search: The loading screen from week 3 shows a battle between Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf. At least, that’s how it would go in Fortnite. But as often, the hint is rather hidden in the background of the image. Pay attention to the wooden house in the background.
What can be seen? You can faintly recognize the sought-after hint on the chimney of the wooden hut in the background. For most of you, it is clear where you should search. The journey goes to Wailing Woods.
Where exactly? Far to the east of Wailing Woods, you will find the wooden house you are looking for. The location of the star is on the roof at the chimney.
Here is a video guide: To help you find the exact spot where the star is hidden, we will embed a video guide here. Just run to this spot once you have met the requirements and grab the star.

The new challenges of week 3 in Season 6 of Fortnite are live. Among them is the task “Hit a player from at least 15 meters away with a tomato”. We will show you how easy it is to complete the task.
In Fortnite, players are currently faced with a special task where they have to throw tomatoes. More specifically: They need to hit players while maintaining a minimum distance. But don’t worry, reaching 15 meters is easy. We’ll show you how it’s done.
Minimum level in the Battle Pass required for the tomato
Before you can start this new challenge, you must first reach a certain level in your Battle Pass.
What level is the requirement? From tier 28 in the Season 6 Battle Pass, you unlock the tomato toy.
How do you use the tomato? You equip the fruit like an emote. Then, using the emote menu in the game, your character throws a tomato. It’s that simple.
The task is easier than you think: At first glance, it seems silly to face opponents with a tomato while they are armed with weapons. But don’t worry, you can even throw the tomato at allies. This makes the task even simpler.

Play in 50vs50 matches: In past challenges in Fortnite, it has been shown that the 50vs50 mode is a good opportunity to complete challenges. This is also true for the tomato throw.
How to reach 15 meters: The chat will display when a tomato hits a player, and the distance in meters will also be indicated. So you’ll know right away when you need to increase the distance to reach 15 meters.
By the way, you can even complete the challenge before taking off with the bus.
So how does this work now?
Reach level 28 in the Battle Pass to unlock the tomato.
Equip it in your emote menu.
Start a 50vs50 match and throw tomatoes on the starting island or see where your allies land after the bus ride.
If you are looking for a special challenge, complete this challenge in solo mode and aim for opponents.
The survival MMO Conan Exiles has finally received all the announced features. You can now tame pets and loot the new dungeon. Additionally, annoying bugs have been fixed. And the PC version is getting a cool barbarian pack.
This is changing now, as the update today finally brings the creatures and the dungeon into the game.
Critical bugs finally fixed: Several bugs have been fixed in the update – including two severe issues that led to crashes in the game. The PS4 was particularly affected by this.
New pack for desert barbarians: If you like, you can get another DLC pack for Conan Exiles today. The pack “Savage Frontier” includes new barbarian outfits in the style of the abominable Picts. There are also new weapons, building parts, and even skins for your pets.
PC only: The new content today is only available for PC players. PS4 and Xbox One fans will have to wait until October 17, 2018.
How much does the DLC cost? You can get decked out as an over-barbarian for 9.99 euros.
In week 3 of Season 6 in Fortnite: Battle Royale, the time trials are back. Here you will find out where to find the new challenges.
Where are the time trials? With week 3 of Season 6, time trials have been spread across the map again. They were last seen in Season 5.
You can recognize them by the translucent blue stopwatches. Where you can find them all is shown in the following list:
Tomato Temple: On the west side of the step pyramid is a time trial. You need to build some ramps to get there.
Mountain from the old supervillain base at B4: A time trial starts at the mountain peak, for which you descend into the old base.
Bridge south of Shifty Shafts at E8: The trial begins on the west side of the bridge. It sends you across the entire bridge, including the top at the suspensions.
South of Tilted Towers: There is also a trial on the hill with the cabin.
West of Dusty Divot at F5: Another trial can be found on the high hill.
What do time trials look like? A time trial looks like a large, floating blue stopwatch. You need to interact with it to start the trial.
How does a time trial run? Once the trial starts, additional stopwatches appear in the vicinity. You now have about 30 seconds to touch them all. If time runs out, the trial ends and you have to start over.
How do I complete the trial optimally? Before starting a trial, you should pack enough building materials. Often, the stopwatches during the trial are at high places and can only be reached with ramps and platforms.
Watch out, tryhards! Another risk are tryhards who do not want you to complete the trials and shoot you from behind when you are exposed. To avoid these troublemakers, you should tackle the trials in the 50vs50 mode. Then, you will at least have some peace on your side of the map.
How many trials do I need to complete? Once you have completed one trial, you need to continue with another to finish all 3 required trials. Fortunately, you do not have to complete them all in the same match.
